BBC One: Day 5: 19.00-22.00 Olympics

Good evening. We will see Michael Jamieson and Andrew Willis going

for gold in less than half an hour. They are first in the pool tonight.

Jamieson qualified fastest in the final. Willis was third quickest.

Jennison and Willis are aiming to emulate the great David Wilkie, who

won 200m breaststroke gold 36 years ago.

Staying in the pool, Jemma Lowe goes for Great Britain in the final

of the women's 200m butterfly. And rivals Michael Phelps and Ryan

Lochte to go head-to-head in the semi-finals of the men's 200m

individual medley. World championship silver medallist

Luke Campbell makes his first appearance in an Olympic boxing

ring. Team GB's men's football team at 10

to book their place in the quarter- finals. A draw against Uruguay will

do the job. And they have already got a team

medal in the bag. Now British gymnasts Kristian Thomas and Dan

Purvis are aiming for individual glory.

Over the first 20 minutes, we will look back over the events of the

If you would prefer to see Great Britain take on Uruguay in the

football, join Jake on BBC Three. Kick-off is at 7:45pm. We start now

with rowing, and a genuine British gold medal chance in the finals at

Eton Dorney. Heather Stanning and Helen Glover went for Team GB in

Stanning and Helen Glover could be booking a place on the front page

of every paper in the country. final chapter of a remarkable story

is now under way. They are minutes from Olympic history. Already now,

Great Britain have absolutely jumped out of the starting gate. It

is game on. Great Britain looking fine. They are settling into their

rhythm. Helen Glover and Heather Stanning are storming away. Two and

a half years ago, they were the spares in the British team. Here,

it is a fantastic fairy tale story. 1200 metres to go to they become

the first British winners ever to win an Olympic gold in rowing. We

are right on the edge of our seats. Look at that, it is simply stunning

from Helen Glover and Heather Stanning. They are moving away with

power and grace. The grandstands are on their feet. The flags are

going absolutely mad. It is Great Britain's first Olympic gold medal

at the 2012 games, and they are doing it in style. They are making

history here at Eton Dorney. Great Britain go into the record books.

Great Britain are Olympic champions! Helen Glover and Heather

Stanning, we stand up and salute you for the British rowing team and

for the country, as a whole. I am shattered and ecstatic at the same

time. What a triumph for them. It is Great Britain's first gold medal

What they are wonderful effort, Britain's first gold of the Games.

I am joined by Sir Steve Redgrave. In 1976, women's rowing first came

in. 10 Olympics later, a first gold. Didn't they do it in style? They

always could do it in style. They have shown over the last two

seasons that they had the potential to do that. Their first

championship together was in New Zealand two years ago, and they

burst onto the scene. I thought they were spares for the women's

eight. They made the final, and I was quoted in a New Zealand paper

saying they had done well to make the final, but maybe 5th, 4th at

best, and they won a silver medal. Last season, they dominated the

whole of the season and lost the World Championships by a couple of

inches. This year, they have been dominating races like that. I used

to be an athlete. You never know what will happen. But they blew my

expectations away. They both have incredible stories. They are on

their way. They are stuck in traffic, but they will come into

the studio this evening. So are we, you got me instead. No, you were

coming anyway. You are foremost expert on all things rolling. But

they have great stories. One of them took up rowing four years ago.

One of them is a soldier. Helen watched the Olympics on TV four

years ago. Always loved sport. She has done various other sports at

different levels and thought, I fancy doing some of that. Five

years ago, I launched the sporting giants programme, which is trying

to find ladies of 5 ft 11 and guise of 6 ft 3 plus for rowing,

volleyball and handball. And she put herself forward and made it

through the selection. Four years!? How can you go from four years ago,

not having sat in a boat, to winning a gold medal? It is about

getting the right size and the right engines in the white sports.

It makes a huge amount of difference. And obviously great

coaching. But you need a great athlete as well. And Heather goes

to Afghanistan in a few months' time. It is nice that we were able

to play her a clip of some of the forces who are out there in the

battalion, washing her luck as she got off the water. There were some

great emotions after the race. You spend time chatting to them, and

that was the moment I realised they had gone seven minutes without

pausing for breath. I do not know them that well. Helen sort of dive

into my arms and was blubbing in my ear. And I was thinking, control

yourself. If Catherine gets anywhere near winning a gold medal

on Friday, I will really be struggling. I will need the tissues.

I look forward to seeing that. Pen to Nora Owen to come, with nine

other boats already guaranteed a final spot. Team GB has plenty of

other opportunities on the water at Eton Dorney. One of those was in

the men's final eight, including Greg Searle, gold medal winner of

20 years ago in Barcelona, which leads me to my faith -- favourite

statistics are far. Greg's lucky socks are older than some of his

team-mates. But tough competition have never been put under this much

pressure. We are moving towards the line. The British are coming!

is a fairy-tale. Great Britain, up there, against Germany, the world

champions. They were unbeaten last year and a year before. Great

Britain are pushing on. Guys, now it is all about you. It is all

about the team. It is all about sheer determination. But the

Germans have responded. We are into the last 500m. There is nothing in

it! Germany, Great Britain, Canada. This is coming down to the wire.

Like 20 years ago, Greg Searle, if not now, when? This is your time.

Drive it to the line at! Germany have all that flexibility and

experience, but now they are beginning to edge away. Great

Britain have to put it all into the last 400m. The world champions are

leading now. The Germans responded well. Watch out for Canada, the

defending Olympic champions. One last chance for Great Britain. You

have got to claw your way to the line. Great Britain are slipping

back. Canada just slipped past Great Britain. Great Britain are

hanging on to that bronze medal. is Germany that will be the Olympic

champions. Canada coming through in silver, and Great Britain into

bronze medal position. Great Britain get the bronze, but what a

challenge they gave for a 1500m. Germany were so grateful to have

got home. They have maintained their unbroken record, and I are

Olympic champions. Grey Britain had us on the edge of our seats, but it

is a bronze medal for today for the It was quite a race. They put up a

great effort, the eight. At halfway, you start to think, gold again?

They could have played it safe and won a silver, even though that

field is quite tight. But they were determined. There are a number of

athletes there who have won Olympic silvers. All of them have the world

championship silver medals, but they thought that was not good

enough. They gave it everything they had got to win a gold. You

have to admire them. A do you applaud that? I do, because we did

not know. The Germans have not been pushed. As I said to the guise as

they came off the water, especially Greg, obviously they were very

depressed. But I am immensely proud of what they did, because they made

the Germans win it. We didn't lose. The Germans were favourite. They

have not lost an international regatta in the last three years, so

we had to do something special. They did everything they wanted to

do. At the end of the day, the Germans were better. Is it a sign

of how far rowing has come, in the sense that bronze is not good

enough? It is likely. We have three more boats in semi-finals tomorrow.

All 13 boats which have qualified will realistically be racing in

finals. The three tomorrow have great chances of metals. 13 boats

qualified out of 14 events, and they are all in finals. In finals,

you have chances of winning medals. A lot more medals will come in the

next few days in Reading. Why are we so good at rowing? I think

success breeds success. For eight Olympic Games running, we have now

won gold medals at Olympic level. So people think, they have done it

before, so I can do that. And the coaching team are second to none.

The team manager has been involved in international rowing and British

rowing since the '70s. The chief coaches for the men's and women's

team have been in those roles for a long time. There's a lot of

expertise being handed down. Our under 23 team is pretty good. If a

number of these athletes give up, we will still have a good team in

four years' time. Here are their other headlines from

Eton Dorney. Favourites Ukraine won gold in the

women's quadruple sculls final. Great Britain's Quartet came home

six. A Northern Ireland's Alan Campbell

made it through to Friday's men's single sculls final after coming

second in his semi-. And rising young British stars

George Nash and Will Satch storm to victory in their men's pairs semi-

final. Another of Great Britain's biggest

gold medal hopes was Bradley Wiggins in the men's time-trial.

The Tour de France winner was a a time trial this year. What an

opportunity for him. A Londoner at heart. Lives in the north-west now,

but he considers these home-grown it's a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime

of La sat at the minute. Tony Martin, he knows how to write a

time-trial. This is Bradley Wiggins, a nice, compact style. Chris Froome

is on a ride. 12 seconds quicker than Chris Froome, Tony Martin the

world champion. There is that time to beat. Bradley Wiggins is going

to go into the lead. 11 seconds faster than Martin, he is the

leader. Fabian Cancellara is out of this. It is only Wiggins who can

pressurise Martin. This is impressive stuff. 22 seconds the

difference between Bradley Wiggins and Martin. He is leading by 22

seconds. This is Chris Froome and the crowd are roaring him on. The

runner up in the Tour de France goes into the lead. He has not lost

any fluidity at all, Bradley Wiggins. He is absolute poetry in

motion. Here comes Tony Martin driving for the line. A good ride

by Martin. He is in the gold medal position. Here comes Bradley

Wiggins now, the winner of that third of France, the holder of

three gold medals in the Olympic Games. He has got six medals to his

credit in the Olympics. Here comes Bradley Wiggins up to the line.

Bradley Wiggins is the Olympic champion. It is gold and gold for

Bradley Wiggins, his 4th gold medal and the 7th medal in the Olympic

Games. He is the greatest British achiever of all time. Just going

through Kingston at the end of the noise was amazing. I do not think

my sporting career whatever top that. What a month it has been.

Winning the Tour de France and the time trial in London. It will never

get any better than that. And if these people are wearing sideburns

cheering you on. Now that medal and another 4th gold, Britain's most

decorated Olympian. What does that mean? This morning I kept seeing

these reports on the television and to be honest it had to be gold

today or nothing. What is the point of having seven medals if they are

not the right colour? I have to carry on to Rio de Janeiro and go

for a number five. Just to be mentioned in the same breath as

Steve Redgrave and Sir Chris Hoy, it is an honour. To be up there

with those guys is very special. tops and very elite table. He has

just taken over from Sir Steve Redgrave. That really is quite

something. You have been usurped. I watched him four years ago in the

team pursuit. It was absolutely fantastic, smashing the world

record. A cycling journalist walked past and said, it Bradley can win a

medal of any colour, he is going to go past your record. I thought what

record is that? I did not realise I had that record and tell four years

ago. At least I have had four years of knowing I have had that honour.

But he is a great guy. I know him reasonably well and I cannot think

of a better guide to go past me. Chris will go past me in a couple

of days as well. We have got another Chris, Chris Boardman. The

Tour de France winner of the back of an Olympic win, what a sporting

hero? A week ago I was working on the Tour de France and I watched

Bradley Wiggins, a Brit in the yellow jersey leading out Mark

Cavendish the world champion to win the final stage and then come here

to win the Olympic gold medal. It is an unprecedented time in British

cycling. He owns the word unprecedented at the moment. Only

Miguel Indurain has achieved a similar fate? The fact we are

talking about Bradley Wiggins alongside him and cycling's

absolute greats is fantastic. It is going to take as a long time to

work out what has happened. He is not an archetypal Brit, he is quite

confident. Before the race he said, I am going to win this, he is not

typically British. He will take responsibility for it and he knows

he is the favourite, but it has taken him many years to deal with

that kind of pressure. We saw at his acceptance speech at the Tour

de France he stands up with a microphone and says, we are going

to draw the raffle in a minute. He is a character, an individual and

fascinating to watch. He is a winner, isn't he? I have seen him

perform many times and when I was still racing on training camps the

tour de France would be on and we used to watch it a great deal. We

thought a Brit would never win it, not in my lifetime anyway. Just

literally what they have done is immense. Den Mark Cavendish gave it

a fantastic crack in the road race. Is it right Bradley Wiggins has not

lost a time-trial this year? That is right. We have not talked about

Chris Froome. We must talk about him. He could end at being Bradley

Wiggins' biggest challenger in a few years to come. At the moment it

is just incredible. We are also hoping Bradley Wiggins will be

coming in. He is on his way. We have a proud tradition of

breaststroke swimming in the Games. Can Michael Jamieson and Andrew

Willis adds to it tonight? That is David Wilkie, Duncan

Goodhew. Duncan Goodhew had the best start. David Wilkie is going

to turn first. Adrian Moorhouse in 6th position. We have a gold

medallist and a world record. are only 10m to go. It is a gold

medal for Duncan Goodhew. Adrian Moorhouse has got it. Olympic gold

medallist. Gold to Britain. Let's get over to the Aquatics Centre and

it is straight in at the deep end with Michael Jamieson and Andrew

Willis going in the first final. Ian Thorpe has deserted me. What is

going on? What are you going to do without me? I am quite happy to be

here. You are glad to be here. quite excited about the swimming

tonight. And we have got a special friend. We have got two Betty

Suarez in our very first final at 7:30pm, the 200m breaststroke. This

Jemma Lowe is in the 200m butterfly Ryan Lochte is in two lots of semi-

finals. USA are hot favourites to win the women's 4 x 400 metres

freestyle relay. Let's find out more about Michael Jamieson. This

is your time, isn't it? Yes, I certainly hope so. I have got the

experience now of competing at this level. It is my first Olympic Games,

but I have been to the Commonwealth Games and the world championships

go I have got enough experience to rely on high pressure situations.

Listen to this, the adrenalin has gone racing around his body.

Do you see that 200 as the strongest events? Yes, definitely,

it is the one I feel most comfortable with. My stroke suits

that event, but the 100 has had more of a focus. I am trying to

develop that front end speed to help me go out fast in this

tournament. Everybody says the breaststroke is difficult. This

could be a fantastic opportunity. Yes, that is the way I am looking

at it. We do not have an event where we have an American like

Michael Phelps. The chasing pack consists of six to eight swimmers

who have done under a two. 10th. think he is undoubtedly the best

breast Roca of all time, but I am thoroughly looking forward to

getting into the swimming pool with them. The semi-final and Jamieson

looking pretty good. I am coming into my peak. Another massive

British record. It is so exciting to be a part of it. The next medal

can come from this man. It is exciting times. Michael Jamieson is

23 and Andrew wears his 21. They train together in Bath. How much

does it help them to know each other so well? A huge amount. They

are good friends and they are going to be in an environment which is

tense, but they will be there to get that. They have been at the

National Championships, the training group and they are always

together. You have got two of the greatest breaststroke as in the

world at the moment training together and pushing each other on.

As soon as they walk out being a little bit relaxed is a good thing

for them. They will come out, here the crowds and hear all the energy

from the crowd and to be able to chill out and put your thoughts

together is very important. Also in the race is Kosuke Kitajima from

Japan. He only finished 5th in the 100m breaststroke, so he has got a

lot to prove. He really does and he has been an incredible swim her

over a long period of time. He retired from swimming and decided

to return. The only question that comes around that is did he give

himself enough time? If he is on his game, this will be a tougher

race. Hill is favourite for this? There are a lot of it finalists in

this race from the championships. We could get one and to all we

could get four and five, but I have got a feeling one of our boys is

going to do it tonight. Really? is a delight to see you, goodbye.

Michael Jamieson's father was a professional footballer in Scotland.

Mike Dunn junior was a brilliant junior footballer, but he chose

swimming at the age of 13. He would be the first Scot to win gold in

the swimming pools since David Wilkie in Montreal in 1976, and the

first British man since Adrian Moorhouse. Let's join Adrian

for the final of the 200m breaststroke. It looks absolutely

beautiful, inviting for breaststroke. We are a bit hyped up,

but this is very exciting. The two boys are very capable. You have got

two Japanese in one and two. Then you have got Daniel Gyurta, the

and the double Olympic champion is in line two. This man could create

history. The 29-year-old Japanese man won gold in the 100 and 200

breaststroke in Athens. Did it again in Beijing. Can he become the

first man ever to do three in a row? Massive ovation for the first

of the two Brits. The first of the two Bath swimmers. Listen to this

crowd. The roar just carried on. But it did not throw them. They

seemed calm. They will have to watch out for Gyurta. He is very

strong. Mrs Scott Weltz's to complete the line-up, the

slowest qualifier until two days ago, world record holder in the

100m breaststroke at, this is the weakest in the field. In theory,

but watch him in the first 100. I think we will not worry about him

until 150. The race for medals will come from lanes 1-5. Jamieson needs

to go half a second quicker in the first 100, because this guy will be

coming back like a train. It is going to be a roller-coaster.

Jamieson, in the red hat of Great Britain, in the centre. And Andrew

Willis also has a red hat in lane breaststroke. Some very good starts.

The Brits have done well. In lane three, Andrew Willis from Bath. And

also from Bath, Michael Jamieson in four. They are cruising down the

first 25 metres, but Kosuke Kitajima looks like he is going

very early. With intent. He is the defending champion. He is already a

legend at breaststroke. He has two gold medals at two Olympic Games.

If he does this, it will be historic. This is good for the

Brits, because Kosuke Kitajima is not on form at these Olympics. If

they can stay with him, they will be in good shape. Gyurta in lane

five, a bit ominous. He is very good in the second 100. Jamieson

and Willis need to stay with his pace. The Olympic champion is

leading this race. First to turn is Kosuke Kitajima, the double Olympic

champion in this a breaststroke event. He is starting to go already.

This is a bit frightening. The Brits are going with him. Ricard in

lane eight is starting to fade. It looks like it is Gyurta from

Hungary in the centre. Gyurta is going to break the world record if

he keeps going. He was a danger man from the beginning. The only hope

is that he went too early. It is not over. If Dennis and his coming

back. So it is Kitajima. Jamieson is starting to catch Gyurta. Gyurta

is starting to fade a bit. There are 20 metres to go. Michael

Jamieson from Glasgow is coming back. Gyurta in five of. Gyurta

wins the gold. It is a fantastic silver medal for Great Britain.

Michael Jamieson, what a brilliant swim that was. And his time is

another massive British record. Oh, my goodness. That is utterly

brilliant. A new world record for Daniel Gyurta of Hungary. The time

was utterly brilliant. Jamieson was 0.12 off the old world record. That

guy deserves a massive round of applause. The crowd are standing

and cheering for that silver medal. That first 100, I thought Gyurta

would sit back, but he went for it and held on. But Jamieson was

pushing him all the way. He would have felt his breath on his

shoulder during the last bit. And Kitajima really did fade badly, and

Dennis and caught up. Willis faded in the background. He came 8th in

the end, sadly. That is the difference between gold and silver.

Jamieson will have an awesome future. He is only 23. What a

wonderful swim. Olympic champion, Daniel Gyurta of Hungary, but

Michael Jamieson swam unbelievably well. A massive British record. I

bet even in his wildest dreams, he did not think he would go that

quickly. He has a silver medal at Michael, congratulations. That was

extraordinary. We were screaming our heads off. I loved it. I knew I

had a bit more to give after last night. As I said yesterday, it is

so much easier to swim with a bit of confidence behind you, as I did

after the 100. I have had so many messages, it has been unbelievable.

I was desperate to get on the podium tonight to repay the faith

we have had. Did you think you would go that fast? To be honest, I

kinda forgot about the time tonight. It was more tactical. I know how

strong Gyurta's last 50 is. He is the fastest in the world, without a

doubt. So I tried to stay on his shoulder for the first 100, and the

idea was to make a move during the second 25 and have everything on

the line in the last 50. You were very controlled. I would be jumping

up and down by now. Are you jumping up and down inside? Well, I planned

for this night, and that helped with the nerves beforehand. For so

many years, I have gone over this in my head and how I was going to

be there for it. I can't believe it. I am so delighted. It was a tough

race, Andrew. You get everything you had as well. I gave it my all.

I am really happy. Michael deserves it. It goes to show that Bath have

great coaches and great support staff. Michael deserves it 100%.

Really happy for him and it was great for me to experience as well.

Our your family here? Yes, and I have a few friends here as well. It

is great to have their support. This guy will be tough to beat in

the next couple of years. The improvement he has had has been

unbelievable. After seeing what he does in training, it is pretty

frightening. In a couple of years' time, he will be the man to beat.

Enjoy your moment. Or you can ask of any athlete at

these games is to come out with the performance of their life. It did a

world record to beat Michael Jamieson, and that is some

achievement. Phenomenal. What an amazing swim. It took a world

record to beat him. Kitajima did not even get a medal in the end.

we look at the last length, he came back half a second quicker than

Gyurta. Was it the crowd cheering, or was it you in my here? I did get

excited. This was a fantastic swim. I think he is a little shocked at

how well he went. I don't think he could have anticipated this, coming

into the final. If you look at the ages of Andrew Willis and Michael

Jamieson, 21 and 23. They will continue. They have a great

competitor in Daniel Gyurta from Hungary, though. How impressed were

you with what he said in the interview afterwards about the way

he had mentally prepared for tonight? It is one of those things.

How much can you prepare mentally for an Olympic final? We will see

Fran Halsall and Amy Smith in the second semi-final of this. This is

in years. Daniela Schreiber. She just stuck her arms back. What did

she do? Anyway, first semi-final of the women's 100m freestyle, with

Daniela Schreiber actually going Twywell down the first 50. The

world-record holder is at the top. The German is not having a good

meat at all. She is way behind. In lane six, Jessica Hardy of the USA.

She is proving that best strikers can turn to freestyle. Big,

straight arms, digging in deep, stretching ahead as far as she can.

These women have got to go quick. The fourth fastest was 53.9, so it

looks like a sub 54 to make the final. Melanie Schlanger brought

their relay team home for gold. She is on form. But she will have to

find a bit more, I think. This second semi-final has a few good

swimmers in it. They all looked left to see who was coming in, then

look at the clock to see the time. She won by 0.4 of a second, which

is a long way in this race. It is a nice feeling to look to your left

or right and see people still but the second semi-final really is

stacked. I could argue for all eight of these women making the

final. It is going to be really fast. You have got the two Dutch

the heats. She did in the relay. But let's talk about the British

Women. Amy Smith in lane one, and Fran Halsall. She got a silver

medal at the World Championships in 2009, and was fourth at the worlds,

but that merely won the race. Listen to this for Amy Smith, a

massive ovation yet again. It sends shivers up my smile -- spine. It

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 86 seconds

She is really a 200m freestyle Chinese girl, Yi Tang. She has been

improving every year. She has shown see what happens after that. A very

deep dive in line number five the Jeanette Ottesen Gray. She has come

up first from Denmark. A Mr Padraig decent start -- Amy Smith had a

good start. In the 100m, it is important that if you have got

speed, you use as much as you can without leaving much in the tank

for the last 20 metres. Francesca Halsall girl is going well. She has

a lot of work to do. This finish will be so important. Amy Smith

just getting a bit behind at the top. Come on, Fran Halsall, get the

touch. It was very close. She got 4th, equal with 53.77. That should

be fine. I think she found that tough, though. A new Olympic record

for Ranomi Kromowidjojo. I have seen from look more sparkly on her

races. Maybe digging in more. -- I have seen Francesca Halsall look

more sparky. She is really tough. Lovely, bubbly character, and she

is in the final of the Olympic Games. So the fastest woman in the

There she is, Ranomi Kromowidjojo. She will go in as the fastest

Fran Halsall is very much capable of that. That was a tough race,

maybe not a place in the final, but the 50 to come. Yes, I am

disappointed with that, but I have got to take away the positives and

put that into that safety will stop it will be great to watch Frant in

the final. Our team is so tight, you all swim for each other. It is

amazing because a while ago it would just be me, that's here are

asked two command our size when everybody is 6 ft tall. It will

take a 52 to win it. Definitely. I felt awful this morning. But I

think I need to get it out of my system. Tonight I felt very smooth

and easy, so anything can happen AA an Olympic final, so I'll be in

there looking to win it. Everybody wants to get these medals and it is

contagious and when somebody does that it helps you believe in

yourself. Yes, it is, but they were amazing for a Missy Franklin as

well, so tomorrow we want them to speak louder than ours. She is so

cool in interviews, she has got bags of confidence. She is telling

the crowd what to do. Stop cheering for everyone else. How she got a

shot? Yes, definitely. Kromowidjojo is that Marjah head of everybody

else. But if Fran has as when I see can, and she has got 24 hours' rest,

it she pulls one out of the bag, she could make it, and she has done

it before. This is a busy night for Ryan Lochte. This is the 200

Ryan Lochte of the USA. He has already won two golds. Fascinating

different styles of starting. Some of their heads are closer to the

block and some our way back, but the best start was from Ryan Lochte.

It will be interesting how he swims this, given that he has got another

semi-final to come. Ryan Lochte is capable of it, he is a very fit guy.

He is very laid back. He treats it like a local pool meat. That is the

way to do it. For his said this morning, yeah, two semi-finals, it

is going to be brittle. He is talking about the pain, not whether

it will be pressurised. But he has trained for it very well indeed. At

the top the European champion is very quick indeed and it was a very

good turn. He may be took about half a metre off most of the rest

of the field. Ryan Lochte has got some work to do. Yes, he is doing

enough. He is aware. He can see what is going on. He will have a

quick scan now. He does not need to look, he is going to do a big turn

and come up in the lead. He is actually brilliance and now he is

starting to go. He is defending champion on those 200m backstroke.

He has done three lengths a reasonably comfortably. Also going

with them is the Japanese. That was interesting. That was fascinating.

He is two seconds outside his best time, so I think he has done enough,

but he does not want to risk it. He knows he had to conserve energy.

All the trainers say he trains like an animal. He is known for being

able to cope with the pain. This is not hard for him. That one was not,

but the next one will be very interesting because he is in the

final of that tour hundred medley NT is against Michael Phelps. He

has got the monkey off his back, the 19 medals, and now he is ready

to go up. They are talking about Ryan

Lochte's training and he has been pictured doing serious physical

work. What is your take on that? He polls tyres around. Whatever

tickles your fancy. But it is a good idea and if that is what you

want to do in the gym, you have got to build up the muscle mass that

By him it seems to be working. know you have a strong belief that

the race is not over when you touch the wall, not even when you get out

of the swimming pool. No, it is over when you walk off behind the

set. So you get out of the water and confidently and the competitors

know that. Then next time they race they know you got out of the

swimming-pool easily. They do not see you collapse behind the stage.

That is the impression you want to leave for your competitors. The way

you carry yourself around the pool is important. When people come they

are very cool and effect. That is why he used to walk around with no

clothes on. He used to take his suit off when he gave an interview.

It did not work, it was a little bit too late. Now it is the second

semi-final. It is the fastest eight times. Not the first four from each

semi-final. The file is tomorrow night. It is four lengths of the

the 200 medley is tomorrow. I said it was tonight. This is Cleary. He

is a really good backstroke swimmer. He did very well in the heats up

this morning. He is sensing an opportunity to get on the podium.

He is the world championship bronze We have got a Japanese in lane one,

then two Hungarians. Then Tyler Clary in four. We have just seen a

very interesting first semi-final working reasonably hard, but taking

the Japanese with him. He knows what he has to do. The rest of them

have to get a sub 1.57 to get to does he not cut off the string on

his goggles, that always bothers me. A as long as it doesn't get in his

way, it is fine. A reasonably even start. Maybe Tyler Clary of the USA

having the best one in four. But the Hungarian in lane three with

the bright pink suit is going well to go to the European Championships

because it did not fit in with people's workouts. Tyler Clary

having a good turn. He has gone very deep. It was a good turn, but

he took a big old breath as soon as he came up. He is working

reasonably hard and looking pretty good. He will be on the left when

you go back and look at the overhead shot because the cameras

are not working like we usually have them. Apologies, that is not

our camera, but international television. I think he is trying to

show Ryan Lochte he has got something. People believe that Ryan

Lochte is a shoo-in for this. Tyler Clary said, no, he is not, I want

this as well. Pumping the air, he uses that nose clip so he does not

get water in his nose when he is under water. Lane six was

completely out of the water. It is important to get out of the water.

Great streamlining. The fastest part of the race under water,

streamline, for every stroke. Tyler Clary easing back a bit. I think he

realised it was a great time anti- stall has got something in him.

That is an interesting reaction. He is actually delighted with that

swim. We saw Ryan Lochte go reasonably easy. Tyler Clary has

worked hard. He will qualify fastest for the final. Very

We are fascinated by the strain on his goggles. We have got your

goggles on the lion. When did lions become extinct in the UK? If you

shave and take the trouble to shave your body because of how it goes

through the water, why would you have a piece of string dangling

down your nose? I think it is the cool thing at the moment. Anyway,

it did not seem to stop him. We have had as silver-medal in the

swimming pool, but back in the Helen Glover and Heather Stanning

have joined us. Have you any idea how you have lifted the mood of the

nation? In the papers, it kept saying, still no gold. You were the

first to have done it. Maybe there will be another gold since we have

won ours. It is exciting. It is a good bit of payback, because we had

amazing support. At Dorney Lake, the crowds were brilliant. Everyone

we passed on the streets has been so good. And it is our Olympics, so

it is great. Can you attempt to describe the emotions you went

through? I don't think I can. It is the most phenomenal feeling. We

were both exhausted after the race, but couldn't stand still, just

wanted to jump around. The crowds have been fantastic. There are

those shots. You seem to be talking to each other. Who was saying what?

I definitely said, I can't believe it, we did it! I knew not only got

the first gold medal for Great Britain, but you are also the first

female British rowers ever to win a gold medal. You must be so proud of

yourselves. It is definitely still sinking in. We have had some

brilliant trail blazers in terms of women's rowing. We have brilliant

women on our team and to be the first women to do it, fingers

crossed it will be the first of many. I am sure there will be more

to come this Olympics. And once again, a soldier comes to the

rescue of the Olympics, Heather. A brilliant effort from you. We go

back now to being a soldier again, with the possibility of going to

Afghanistan? The plan was always to go back to work in September. And

that is still the plan. I am proud to be associated with the military,

and they have done a fantastic job with these games. You have had at

tweets from all sorts of athletes everywhere, messages of support and

congratulations. It must be great that you have given everyone a lift.

Laura Robson says, first gold medal for GB! We are so attached. We are

kind of blown away by it. We just went to do what we do. We have

worked hard for this, but so have a lot of other people in our team.

Our coach, parents and families have supported us the whole way.

The fact that everyone has responded like this is so touching.

Thank you. Helen, your story was remarkable. Four years ago, you had

never sat in a boat. No. I watched the Beijing Olympics on TV you and

I had been rowing for about two months. I picked it up because my

mum saw an article that said Sir Steve Redgrave was trawling through

rowers. You had to be tall and athletic, and I thought it sounded

like me. Such an inspiring story. You are certainly a sporting giant

now. What are your family saying? Had he managed to spend any time

with them? Had briefly. Both our families were down at the course

and we had a few minutes with them, but they are over the moon for us.

Our families have been our biggest supporters from the word go. They

are enjoying it as much as we are. They are out tonight together.

you meet up with them later? hope to. They might have burnt

themselves out by then. You do know you will be going down in history

for the first gold medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games? It is

still sinking in. It is crazy. will be the answer to a pub quiz

question for the rest of your lives. What about the rest of the team? It

is such a strong team. What about Katherine Grainger? We are so

excited for them. We have loved being part of the GB rowing team.

The athletes have trained so if -- so hard. All the noise from the

crowds, they will get to do that over the next three days and they

will do brilliantly. Helen, I read that you were the bossy One in the

boat. And I get that sense now. Is she the leader? For I would not so

the leader. She is definitely the more vocal of the two of us. They

as she tried you on? Definitely. I was not allowed to sit back once in

that race. I tell her what to do. That is the drive you need if you

have only been doing it for four years. But you are the experienced

one, so your experience must help. Only by a couple of years, but I

don't know what I bring. Helen is fantastic at what she does in the

bow seat. She is such a great athlete. For any sport, for someone

to come in within such a short time and do what she has done is

fantastic. For people, young girls or even people in their early

twenties, they should give it a go. Helen has shown it is not

impossible. It Heather goes back to the army, what will you do? I will

have to keep rolling. I am voting for her to keep rowing. I have

something for you, the gold medal winners at the Olympic Games for

Great Britain are going to get a special stamp from the Royal Mile.

That is amazing! My grandad would love that. He collects them. I will

give it to you. Thank you so much. Be it has been a delight to have

you in the studio. On behalf of the whole of Great Britain, many

congratulations. You have done us all proud. Then we won another gold,

and it has started things. The momentum is running.

We will go back to Clare, Mark and Ian.

In the intervening period, while we were talking to our new Olympic

champions, we have an Olympic silver medallists here. Michael

Jamieson, 23, sets a new British record, beaten only by a world

record from Daniel Gyurta of Hungary. This was the moment the

silver medal was placed around his neck. He swam the race of his life

at the moment he needed to most. It is a terrific achievement. And I

think today, after seeing the girls do so well, bringing home at the

first Olympic gold medal for Team GB, it really has spurred on this

team. He got very close to winning it. Gyurta won the last two world

championships. He always delivers at the right time, and he did do

that again, unfortunately. But it was an amazing final. The crowd

were phenomenal. And as Jamieson was coming back at Gyurta on that

last length, the crowd were lifting him. Gyurta did extremely well to

hang on. The gold goes to Gyurta in a new world record. Now, the

national anthem of Hungary. Therein lies because of flowers all the

medallists get as well. -- very Ladies and gentlemen, the national

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 86 seconds

anthem of Hungary. Congratulations to Hungary and to

Daniel Gyurta, and he gives Michael Jamieson a very warm hand slap

there. That all took place a few moments ago. Those swimmers are now

making their way around the pool and heading out. We have another

final coming up, the women's 200m butterfly, which is incredibly

close. It features Jemma Lowe. Jamieson there, showing off his

silver medal. A terrific swim from him. We had a brief conversation

about how he had mentally prepared for this, and he said he had spent

years just thinking of this moment. I suppose sometimes you can

overthink it, but he got it spot on. You prepare yourself for what it

will sound like, how the water will feel. Is the competitor here, is

the compared to there? You start to practise, and when training at high

speed, you feel as if you are in a race. This is how you mentally

prepare, so that it becomes familiar when you come to rest day.

Looking ahead at the final for the women's 200m butterfly, do you give

Jemma Lowe a shot? In terms of qualification, she was the slowest

one in, but she said that was deliberate. The field is open in a

sense. When she did her interview, she was not putting a lot. I am not

saying she has saved a lot, I was puffing after 50m. But she has been

there and done it. She just has to pull it out at this evening. The

team alongside her will be shouting her on. She just has to do her own

race. There will be a fight in the middle. She could come away with a

medal. Jemma Lowe is 22 years old. She is trained in Swansea, and her

coach said he did not want her in the middle lane for this. So it is

difficult to make sure you are fast enough to get in, but slow enough

to be in the outside lane. We will see how it pans out. She said, I

will give it everything and see what it brings. She will be roared

home. She planned to swim the 100 and 200m butterfly, but from Hansel

qualified ahead of her. So this is has got a super player. If she

actually tried to achieve that, that is outstanding. It is risky as

heck. In her interview, she did say she has more in her, and she was

very composed. Dodgy tactics, but it paid off. So she is worth

watching in lane eight. We have just seen a medal that Japan from

lane 1, so there is no reason why we can't get another one. Wouldn't

that be something special? She is certainly capable of it. She looks

like someone who can cope with the pressure as well. She is kind of

matter-of-fact, like Jamieson. I in Texas. She has a super

experienced coach. The fastest qualifier. This is interesting. In

lanes are fired and seven Jiao Liuyang. In seven the defending

Olympic champion. Beware of the Chinese. We have got the 21 year-

old Spanish girl in between them. Mireia Garcia is very diverse. This

is Zige Liu. They dominated the 200 fly in Beijing. But I think the

rest of them can attack them. Listen to this. Pumping the air.

Come on, Jemma Lowe. Great support and lots of Union Jacks. Doesn't

she look calm? Yes, very calm. If her interview was anything to go by,

she wanted an outside lane. She got one and she is into the final of

the Olympics. Kathleen Hersey is going to be four lanes away from

her. This is the time to deliver with every ounce of energy she has

got. Those are great cockles. Orange accentuates the light. She

wants to get light stimulation, and orange goggles are very good colour.

Jemma Lowe at the bottom for Great Britain. Training in Swansea. The

Olympic final of the women's 200m butterfly. Jemma Lowe got the best

start and we have not said that so far at the Olympic Games for a

British swimmer. It is a good lane for her, she is next to the world

record holder from China. The Chinese will be going for gold in

this race. That is where she needs to be. Kathleen Hersey is the

fastest qualifier in lane four. A good place to be. Kathleen Hersey

is coming through now. This is going to be interesting because

Jemma Lowe will not be able to see past Zige Liu of China, the

defending champion. She is not going to see pastor, so she will

think the race is right there. That was a very good turn. La Collette

Mireia Garcia, the Spanish girl in lane six or Stopsley is coming

through very strongly for a start Kathleen Hersey is now starting to

show, but Zige Liu is struggling. The Spanish girl Mireia Garcia is

surprisingly. She can sneak this one. Jemma Lowe was turning in six.

She has got some work to do. But the rest of the field is coming

back strong. She is possibly in bronze position. China and Spain

are leading at the moment, but Jemma Lowe has got a chance. Spain

get a surprising solver. The bronze has gone to Japan. Jemma Lowe just

faded at the end. She really went for it. A new Olympic record for

the champion from China. That is Zige Liu, the world record-holder,

and she faded. But Jiao Liuyang converts to gold. That is the

Spaniard, Mireia Garcia. tactics, I suppose why not?

deserves that silver. And nice conversion. Has been around but

quite a while on the international scene even though she is only 20

years of age. Very happy that she has gone from silver in Beijing to

the gold here. We expected it to be Chinese, but maybe not this one. A

really big surprise was the silver going to Spain. Jemma Lowe swam

well and committed really well, but she finished 6th in the end. You

gave it everything you have. Yes, I did. It is an Olympic final and I

was happy to get into it last night. I get everything I had, but it was

not my database. Maybe you were aware from the mix a little bit?

The crowd were fantastic and I was a bit nervous coming out, but I

have had a good time in my second Olympics will stop they have been

brilliant. It is not to be your last? Yes, definitely. I feel like

I'm still young and I am looking forward to having more races in the

There is so much energy coming from the British camp and all of them

are desperate to improve on whatever they have done. Even

Jamieson what the silver Medal wants to improve on that will start

we have got a very interesting men's 100m freestyle. Already out

his Yannick Agnel, already a winner of two gold medals. James Magnusson

is coming out and he is the fastest qualifier for theirs. Australia are

having a shocker. They think you have put it nicely. I have put it

more nicely than the Australian press. We expect it to do a lot

better than we have been at this stage. James Magnusson is one of

those swimmers we expected to see swim a lot faster than he has done.

In the 4 x 100 relaid Australia were expected to win. This has been

a huge challenge for him, because he has to recover from a

disappointing performance and get himself back up tonight. Coming

into this competition so much was expected of him. He has talked the

talk, so he has to walk the walk this evening. Will he? He better.

That is the word from Ian Thorpe, the greatest Australian swimmer. He

says to James Magnusson, now is your time. Would you making your

favourite? I have to say yes. But it should be a much better time

than 47.6. You would not put your house on him? I would not put my

house on him. I would have before this competition, and that is what

world record holder. There is Magnusson. In lane one is Yannick

Agnel. That was Nathan Adrian. I am concerned that lane one and lane

two are going to go absolutely nuts. On the fall by 100 relay Yannick

Agnel split the fastest split by miles. Magnusson is in lane four

Forestry year. -- for Australia. A very good start in a number two.

That is the world record holder, Cesar Cielo. Experience counts and

Cesar Cielo is in the lead. Also Nathan Adrian. A Nathan Adrian is

absolutely throwing himself at it, but James Magnusson is hauling him

in. Nathan Adrian is still going with him. Nathan Adrian has won it

by one one-hundredth of a second. He led off the relay in a brilliant

swimmer. Look at that. That last 25 he came back and back and he has

won the gold. That was fascinating to watch. Those last 10m were

riveting. I thought James Magners and have come through. The words of

Ian Thorpe were in my ears. You better when it. Adrian must have

been in so much pain that he sat down. Magnusson is thinking about

what his career stands for now. He was talking about being the fastest

in the world, missile Magnusson. But Nathan Adrian was strong here.

You can see it's just about. You cannot call it. You cannot see 100

with an naked eye. He fought so hard and he could smell it with

about 15 to go. Magnusson overhauled him. He was a bit ahead

and then he dug in so it's half. Soaked up. There he is, Olympic

champion, Nathan Adrien of the USA. What a brilliant swim. Well done,

that was fantastic. You just had a rocket. Yes, I know, this comes

every four years. How do you get to celebrate on this? Get ready for

the 400 medley relay. They have put a pretty great team together and

I'm excited to see what we can do. You trials were really late, which

works for sprinters, but not for a distance people. Yes, it does. With

a little more rest I got a little bit faster, so it is a tougher

He won by the minimum distance. Top us through the finish and the

technique of finishing. It is a very similar finish from birth

swimmers. There is no difference in terms of technique. It is better

from the underneath shot. But both finished with her hands going up.

You finish with your fingers and you finish with your body it.

gives you more for us. Let that fingers rolled into your hand up

rather than going up. Rather than finishing like that, you have to

finish a bit further forward. That could have been the difference.

if you break a finger, you have won a gold models -- medals are it does

not matter. You flag that up beforehand. Mackeson is short on

confidence and that helps other swimmers take him on. Still how

much of a shock is that? It is shocking, but it is not as shocking

as it would have been if you had told me this result two weeks ago.

The up full credit to Nathan Adrian because that is his first major

individual title. He has never won anything at the World Championships,

and you could see how thrilled and shops he was about it. The other

thing is Adrian did everything right. You want to come to the

Olympic Games and do your best time. Terms Magnusson did not do his best

in lane five. Rebecca Soni is the defending Olympic champion. She

goes in the second semi-final. The European short-course champion,

Rick Pedersen of Denmark, looked very good in the semi-final.

Beautiful stroke from Micah Lawrence of the USA in lane five.

All soap came out high out of the water, which is important, to use

their hips. Use the momentum. If you get high, you can push yourself

forward, arch your back. I am interested to see what happens,

whether they go really quickly. Paul the arms in, arch your back a

bit, flex your hips. I saw people in the warm-up this morning with a

pair of flippers on, just using the dolphin kick in the warm-up to arch

the back, get used to flicking your legs. Micah Lawrence leading by a

good distance. Could turn from Rikke Pedersen of Denmark. It is

Lawrence leading for the USA. Second is Pedersen. Going well is

the Swedish swimmer in the yellow hat. I am surprised that Iuliia

Efimova was only in lane one. had an interesting heat. She went

very slowly. She has improved on her first 100. She has got quality,

in the pink hat at the top of the picture. I think we will see her

qualified to make the final. I am not surprised that Pedersen has

come back on Lawrence. Pedersen is very strong in the last 50.

first semi-final of the women's 200m breaststroke will be won by

Rikke Pedersen of Denmark. Interesting tactics. UDF the nova

keeps going out very slowly -- Iuliia Efimova keeps going out very

slowly. She needs to get out a bit quicker. But she is playing with

tactics. She could be a surprise for the final. She was only 7th on

a hundred, so I wonder if she has got the stamina. She has got a best

class of this second semi-final, world champion, Olympic record

holder. But only got a silver on the 100. That was a brilliant

swimmer for the and 15-year-old and collected in the press

conference that the Americans had. I was very impressed. But she did

not quite do the job on the 100, not fast enough. She said she had

trained mainly for the 200, and taught about not being able to

control a reel out liar. A 15-year- old can come in and blow you away.

She could not have counted on that. But she did say the 200 is her big

event. The interesting thing for me was that the time was slower than I

expected. If you don't swim quite as quick, somebody can nip in and

beat you, and that is what happened. She needed a best time, and

couldn't deliver it, which made her realise that maybe the 200 is the

event for her. I would not bet and get out quickly on this one.

The world record is held by a Canadian who never really delivered,

women's 200m breaststroke, and interestingly, none of the women in

this semi-final set a lifetime best to qualify. Which is unusual. You

normally have two or three personal best times to qualify. So most of

this field are capable of more. Rebecca Soni slow off the block,

but now she is coming through. Suzuki has a big gold glide. She

builds her pace up. But then she will droplet. A bit like rowing,

strode grades. Looks like Rebecca Soni is going for it. She worked

that last 25 metres pretty hard. Liping Ji of China is starting to

come through in lane six. First to turn the halfway mark, Rebecca Soni.

That is really quick. It is not a world record time. That was said

when they were allowed to wear suits, which has since been banned.

The South African is going very well. She made the finals in 2005,

and is now coming back from that. She was an outstanding talent, went

quiet for a bit, and is coming back. Rebecca Soni is reasserting herself.

Right on world record. She has picked that up. She could get the

world record. It is currently held by Anna Mae peers of Canada. The

time is 21.2. -- two minutes, 21.2. Ro! She did not go under two

minutes 20, but she has broken the world record. What a great swim,

and a fascinating way to do it as well. Really comfortable down the

first 50, worked really hard during the second half of the race. Very

impressive. Fantastic. I thought she would go for it tonight. She

talked about being ready for the 200, not the 100. She has a very

strong last 100m. Very wide arms. Look how wide her elbows off. You

might think she was doing the butterfly. She has a great arm ball.

She is going to go into the final way ahead of the rest. Two seconds

ahead, world record-holder. It is hers to lose now. Great swim. A bit

of emotion there in the end. The semi-finals is the time to break a

record. You have swum in the Impressive pace and tactics as well

as the time. She will certainly be fastest into the final, no doubt

Well done, Rebecca. The crowd love you. A oh, my gosh, I couldn't

believe it. He said this morning you were in great shape and had

been working for the 200. Definitely. This time, I worked for

the last 50. Will you be the first lady in history to go under 20?

almost got it! So hopefully, but in a way, I am ecstatic. Well done.

What a night in the pool. We have seen a minimum distance win beaten

by Nathan Adrian. We have seen a silver for Great Britain and a

world record. Going back to James Maya Pedersen, what would your

advice be to him now, having come here as the big hope? He will be

absolutely shattered at this stage. It is not at the time for him to

have a break. He needs to get back into training. It is not that he

has not been training well in the lead-up to this, but he needs to go

out there and compete and have a great result. I brought that up

again because in wanted to make about point. Listen to the roar for

three of this first semi-final for the men's 200m individual medley.

He is such a talented swimmer, but no doubt the strength he is up

against, because next day Henin Lane four is Ryan Lochte, and next

to locks to his Michael Phelps. This is some race. He comes fops,

with his big headphones on. He wants to block out the noise of the

crowd. He yesterday made history, taking his medal total to a new

record of Olympic total medals, and beating Larisa Latynina, the

gymnast, taking it to 19 total medals, 15 of them gold. He did

that in the relay. James Goddard has huge talent, but he has

sometimes struggled with his work ethic. And he admitted as much,

saying, I have tried to become more consistent in training. A few years

ago, he used to train with a group of guys in Stockport, and they all

gave up and I think he lost his motivation. In Athens in 2004, he

came fourth and was devastated. He thought this was his best

opportunity. He knows Lochte and Phelps will probably come one and

two, but third is up for grabs. He has put all his eggs in his basket.

Unlike the other swimmers wearing red caps, James is in blue.

I think the reason he is wearing a blue cap is because apparently, the

red ones don't fit very well. He is in lame number three, James Goddard.

So the first semi-final of the men's 200 medley. James Goddard of

Great Britain goes in lane three, next to Ryan Lochte ear for USA N

Lane four and the great Michael Phelps, in lane five. If you had a

ticket for tonight's session, this would be worth the price. You have

Ryan Lochte, and Michael Phelps with the Brits. Ryan Lochte will do

just enough here to get a top eight time. I think Lochte will have to

break a world record to beat Phelps tomorrow night. Phelps stuck his

head away up after the turned to look at his time. The wit of the

world is off Phelps' shoulders. But I think he really felt it, that 19

target. He has got it now. Goddard is right with them. Just

behind the two Americans. But they got better terms than him. About

this. -- look at this. Goddard has Michael Phelps having a really be

look at Ryan Lochte. I think Michael Phelps is trying to go with

them. Actually, he is just staying relatively comfortable. James

Goddard is going well and I would like to see him get a touch for

third. Excellent. That is an important touch. That means five

people from the second semi-final can beat him and he is still

through. He is shaking his head slightly. I think he was looking

for a faster time. James, you are in the final, tomorrow is another

day. I am in awe of Ryan Lochte. He is one of the best swimmers we are

watching him at the moment. This generation is fantastic. I think

the final might go the same way. I'm not sure what Michael Phelps

can do about that. Ryan Lochte is better at breaststroke than Michael

Phelps. But Michael Phelps beat him at the trials. There is nothing

else Michael Phelps can do but adopt the same tactics. He did not

raise the last 15 on three-star, he did not use all his energy. Ryan

Lochte is on form and on fire. I cannot bet against him not winning

this one. He might need to get the world record to do it. He is the

world record holder, Ryan Lochte. A great swim from James Goddard and

that will put him through to the final I am sure. No spitting on the

floor! You have but a position in the final tomorrow. It should get

in. It was a fascinating semi-final as well. I am satisfied I suppose.

Tomorrow if you came third behind those boys, would you take that?

would take that. There is the Japanese lad and I need to go a lot

quicker than that. We saw you shaking your head at the end, I

presume that was about the time? Now, I was satisfied to be in the

top three. You have changed your work ethic fairly recently. What

have you done? I have worked on my freestyle quite a lot because it is

the weakest part of mine met little stock I'm not swimming as fast as I

would like at the minute. I have to sit down with my coach and look and

see what I can do to beat faster. I knew going to be here tomorrow? You

Boys, sorry, looking at James he has got no careful start he grows

hair really quickly. The best thing I sort is that he finished the race

and he was disappointed with that time, that is a good sign up for

tomorrow night. But it will be hard to win a medal because we have also

bought Thiago Pereira of Brazil. is a bit more as a sprinter and

that is him coming out now. He could challenge for the silver. I

cannot see anybody getting near Ryan Lochte. James Goddard has done

his race now, but this second heat is the stronger heat. He is on a

knife-edge at the moment. That was Laszlo Cseh with the nose clip.

not so cool. I had to because I was allergic to chlorine. Chad Le Clos

is also in the semi-final and also champion on the 200m butterfly and

he did that by beating the great Michael Phelps. Joe Roebuck getting

a massive ovation. He is a lovely guy. I spent a day at Loughborough

University and he was charming. The second semi-final of the men's 200

medley. If they can go below 1.58, they will make the final. Laszlo

Cseh in four. Thiago Pereira got the silver in the 400. But Laszlo

has got the strength on the butterfly. What has happened to

Kosuke Kitajima? He has got a good backstroke, so expect him to come

back pretty quickly. Laszlo Cseh has not had a good time. Joe

Roebuck is at the bottom of the shot and he is going OK at the

moment, but he needs to pick it up and work is breaststroke. I think

he is off the pace. We are looking for the final spots in the middle.

There are some good breaststroke swimmers free and -- here. Joe

robe's breaststroke is not bad. I think he will struggle. He is in

the bottom left of the shot. first two our way out in front. But

the others are lining up. Finally we are seeing a decent swim out of

Laszlo Cseh from Hungary, but it is a little bit late. That was very

close indeed. I think James Goddard was third with one. Orate 0.9. I

are equal, so they are both in the final. Just to be clear they are

equal 7th. Laszlo Cseh having a decent swim, but this is a semi, a

reminder. I think Kosuke Kitajima and James Goddard will be on the

outside. So will Chad Le Clos. is going to be a good one. I think

Ryan Lochte has got 53 in him. But he has got a backstroke final in

the same session tomorrow night. But he is capable.

It has been a mixed week for you, hasn't it? Yes, it has. It was a

better swim this morning bulls star I have got to be happy with that, I

gave everything I had got. It is the first time I have got through

to that final. It does not always work out, so you have to go and

regroup. You can learn from it. really enjoyed this week and it has

been fantastic coming here. I wanted to get a second swim, which

I did. Obviously, I wanted a third Campbell began his Olympic campaign.

The men's hockey team were looking to build on their winning start and

were up against South Africa. In football Team GB's men were hoping

to book a place in the quarter- finals. They met Uruguay at the

Campbell in a little while, another British boxer. But Anthony Joshua

has got great hopes and many people think he could be the real deal.

Anthony Josh Hanna, 22, 91 plus and I am from London. I can punch, but

at the same time at my weight I am a slick fighter because I have got

to have a good defence. You do not want to take silly shots. It is

like a tree, somebody will be chopping you down. You have got to

take the shots and come back and be very natural and be quick and

speedy. Do not let the Crown to dictate your site, you are in

control of your situation. You have to stay in control of your

atmosphere. Bowing to the Olympic Games I know it is going to be an

amazing atmosphere. Maybe when they see two 6 ft 8, 6 ft 6, massive

guys walking in, they will be excited. But I have to stick to my

game plan and at the end of the day as long as I am winning, that is

I don't want to get too cocky and play to the crowd. I want them to

get behind us because we will put our hearts on the line for this. It

is work, it is a job. I am not there to party with everyone. I

have got to keep it low-key and get the job done. We are not just doing

it for ourselves, but doing it for the country as well. It is another

day in the office and you have to go out and be to your opponent. It

is just business. Things are livening up, medal prospects

everywhere. We have won a couple of gold medals today. One was Bradley

Wiggins and he is making his way across the park. Let's see if we

can find him. There is the flame. He took part in the Opening

Ceremony when he rang in the bell. That is worth the scene is now. If

you see anyone on a bike, that it will be him. I am told his arrival

is imminent. Things are happening all over London and all over the

park. Great sport going on in all of the venues this evening. Now we

can go back to the aquatic centre. I love that few of Tower Bridge and

the only one out of the three of us who has seen a bit of London is

used. I have been getting out a little bit. How do you find London?

It is great. There is a buzz about London, I think because of the

Olympic games. In winning those medals, it was a great thing

because it would be good to host a successful Olympics. Two gold

medals in the rowing and road race and a silver medal in the pole from

Michael Jamieson. He wanted to make a point about the crowds? I know

people have said, don't cheer for everyone else, just cheer for us.

We look at the Olympics being in London, everyone loves their sport.

They cheer on the champions and it is an you get the applause and

recognition you deserve. Michael Phelps and the swimmers they have

read about in the papers, when they come round the crowd feel they know

them. People asked me what was my favourite Games, it was Sydney,

Australia. People are knowledgeable about their sport and the crowd got

into it too much. And then I came here, but I am not swimming any

more. In terms of watching the Games in London, where would you

recommend people go? If you haven't got tickets, and I know people have

missed out on to get, get down to Hyde Park and Victoria parks.

Completely free, big-screen has. You'll get a feeling of what the

Olympics has got to offer. They will be popular next week, because

of the open-water swimming? He has, Keri-Anne Payne will be in there,

Daniel Fogg for the men. When they are doing a race that last two

hours, and if they can get any enthusiasm from the crowd, they are

the guys who will need it. It will be fantastic. Do you fancy that?

Not at all. He means that I would go and get out of the shallow end

and not go any further. We have already seen a world record from

Rebecca Soni, also James Magnussen been beaten by the American. And we

have seen a British silver medal, now we have the women's relay. The

Americans are the hot favourites for this. You said your favourite

to was winning the relay in Australia? It is. I go from either

the first day at the Sydney Olympics, or defending my title in

Athens. It is emotional because someone gave up their spot to let

me swim in this race. My best performance is in the relay. If

only I could come -- produce the equivalent times in my own race has

come I would have been much faster. It is amazing what you can do when

you have a great group of people around you. You're not just winning

for yourself. We don't want to let anybody down. My favour relay was

the men's 4x100 in Sydney. You guys came out, stood up in front of your

home crowd. We saw France beaten in Beijing by the UN day -- USA. It

can happen. The USA will be the favourites going in. I wouldn't

rule out China. They are always strong. A France in lane two next

to Britain. And then you have Australia. I won't rule out

Australia but the USA have to be the favourites. Great Britain have

done great to make this final. If you are listening this morning, Jo

Jackson has had the most extraordinary time since winning

the bronze medal behind Becky Adlington in Beijing. She suffered

a badly from asthma. In training she was struggling to breathe and

put so much pressure on her ribs, they were popping out. I did not

know this. I heard that because you had asthma you started slimming?

Not true. A lot of champion swimmers that do start swimming

swimmers that do start swimming because they have asthma problems.

It is controlling your breathing. Here is the line-up. Great Britain

will be coming out first. On the subject of asthma, Adrian

Moorhouse, you had asthma? I did. I remember seeing a specialist,

having problems running. He told me to stick to swimming. Here is the

British team. Caitlin McClatchey, Rebecca turner, Hannah Miley and Jo

Jackson. Caitlin McClatchey leading them out. She made the final of the

4x200 metres relay in Athens. Finalist in the individual 200m

freestyle at the last two Olympics. That is three Olympic games are

making finals, very impressive from Caitlin McClatchey. Here is France,

Adrian? Yes, they want to get a monks the race. Canada in 3?

they can hold that position it will be a bronze medal. But they might

struggle. Beware of the Australian women's relay team. The 4x100 was

stunning. I love watching a team that stands up, is counted and

fights. They did exactly that. They stole a gold medal that they did

nothing would be theirs. This is an interesting team. Missy Franklin

led off on the 4x100 freestyle relay. Only 4th in the 200. She was

swinging her arms then and almost hit a Allison Schmitt on their head

you can have a bit of fun with your team mates. The Chinese coming out

in lane seven. Little bit on the outside, if they can get ahead of

the Japanese on the outside of them, they will have clean water. The

Japanese having a fabulous Olympics. Another bronze from the outside.

Great Britain in lane one. If you get in the centre and big swimmers

dived in, the waves are very big. Then you get a massive The Wash.

The gold is not going anywhere between America Australia is it?

Can you see beyond that? I can see be on them for the first leg.

Expect team fans to go very quickly. -- team France. Great Britain at

the top. The final of the women's 4x200 metres freestyle relay.

Caitlin McClatchey ingoing first the Great Britain. As expected, in

lane two going pretty fast is Camille Moffatt of France? Terrific

first leg from Camille Muffat. A very strong stop Missy Franklin

swim. This will be interesting to see what time they do. Missy

Franklin has gone out very fast. Bronte Barratt of Australia is

catching up a little bit. This last 50m is going to hurt for Missy

Franklin. Right on the records. The three of the teams on the world

record. The next Australian has well for Great Britain is Rebecca

turner. She may have brought us up were doing 1.55. I think the world

record might go way from these teams, actually. They are just

still on it. In for the USA is Tom Vollmar. Breaking the world record

in the individual 100m butterfly. She is the world record holder on

the 100m butterfly but only uses one butterfly kick. Ryan Lochte and

Michael Phelps stay underwater for quite a while. Coming back on the

world record time, this is interesting. I think this for --

the French might struggle on the third leg. The third leg far

this at the moment. I thought Missy Franklin and Dana Vollmer would

beat way ahead, and they are not. It is Australia leading. USA second,

then France. Great Britain are in 6th position. Hannah Miley has

taken over from Rebecca turner. Hannah Miley has been wrested from

this morning. Melanie Strang there heard in this. This is very tight.

It is cat-and-mouse. The individual winner of the 200m freestyle,

Alison's and it is going on the final leg that the USA. Australia

do need a massive lead. Alicia Coutts is going to need a bigger

of the rest of the field. Look at this, Palmer must know this,

digging in. She is going to need a bit more. The only job for America

now is to stay close. She is really digging in. The last leg will be

Alicia Coutts of Australia going in first. Alison Schmitt in for the

Isa. Great Britain have just moved up to 4th position. Hannah Miley, a

very good the lake. The -- a very good leg. Canada are battling for

the 4th position. Australia are still in the lead. Alison's Schmitt

is tracking her. Coutts has got good experience. She had a 0.6

league. I don't think it is good enough. Schmitt is just hunting her

down. -- a 0.6 lead. Let's see what happens on this term. I would

imagine Schmitt is going to kick off the wall and tried to get a

body length, and that will open up a gap that I don't think Coutts can

catch. Four butterfly cakes underwater, unbelievable from

Alison Schmitt. It was in month -- butterfly kicks under water. It was

immense. Coutts is a really good freestyler. The tactics for

Australia are interesting. They sent off their fastest 200 metres

freestyle at first. Alicia Coutts has not been dropped yet, let's not

give this to the Americans quite yet. France are in the bronze-medal

position. I think the half a second extra that she has added, there is

no way that Schmid will give this up. The Americans and Australians

in your picture, that is how dominant this race has been.

Schmitz got a 400 medal and it is another gold for her. The silver

goes Australia. I wonderful bronze medal for France. Great Britain

finishing in 5th position. A very good swim form them. A solid swim

from the British. An Olympic record from the Americans, they were not

far off the world record. Schmitt having the swim of her life.

got out of the pool very fast. You're not allowed to get out of

the pool until the rest of the swimmers are finished. That will be

STUDIO: They were disqualified them for getting out of the pool, will

they -- they went disqualified them? I don't think so. They did

not disrupt the race. I strongly doubt it. Australia gave it a

really good shot, particularly on the third leg. I am really proud of

a silver medal for Australia. We thought the American team would

dominate this race. There was a point, I did get goose bumps, I

thought we were in for a shot. This is a very good silver for us.

see how much it matters to Missy Franklin and Vollmer next to her.

The team coming next -- coming together. They are the dominant

You can see the American girl celebrating, they came in as hot

favourites, they were pushed by Australia. Great Britain have

finished 5th and that is as good as Tomorrow, we are going to have

Tomorrow, we are going to have great interest, Fran Halsall be

going in the final of the 100 metres freestyle. Brian Lochte has

two gold medals in his sights. -- Ryan Lochte. Tomorrow morning we

will see Becky Adlington swing in will see Becky Adlington swing in

her heats, the final is not until Friday and that is our best chance

of a British gold medal in the pool. Thanks to Mark Foster and insult,

and Gary, thanks for letting us borrow him. -- thanks to Mark

Foster and Ian Thorpe. Look who is with us, the gold

medallist himself, Bradley Wiggins. Oh wonderful effort, a true hero of

the public. They are all waving achoo, there you go. They know you

What a month you have had. The Tour de France and now an Olympic gold

medal. Sensational stuff. It has been mad, to be honest. From the

moment I got back from France, it has been massively over warming. To

come to London and top it off with another gold medal, it hasn't

really sunk in -- overwhelming. For the last nine days I have been

trying to take in everything from the tour. The realisation that I

have won the Tour de France. To come to a home Olympic Games, to

have to go out there and perform and put everything together again,

it has not been easy. At the same time, it has been enjoyable. To

finish it off today, in front of that many people... It was an

unbelievable turn out, there seemed to be millions of people. It was

incredible. I remember going through Kingston with about 10 K to

go and the noise from one of the roundabouts, it is something I'll

never forget. I said at the finish, I don't think I will top that in my

sporting career. I'll never get that opportunity again, a home

Olympics in front of that many people, it was really special.

you have broken so Steve Redgrave's record, you now hold more medals

than any other British athlete in any sport. To be mentioned in the

same breath as Steve, and so Chris Hoy and the others, it is a bit of

an honour. A few decent names on their, and you are the top, and you

might be a so very shortly! gold medals are the only one that

matter in Olympic sport. Once you have had one, you just want to

accumulate more. To be in that company is phenomenal. Tell me

about the time trial. You were supremely confident, it seemed,

going into the race, did you almost know you're going to win? Time

trialing, they call it the race of truth. It is just a physical test

over 55 minutes, as fast as you can go. It is pretty much the physical

effort you can sustain for that length of time. 10 days ago I won

the last time trial stage of the Tour de France by a considerable

margin. Physically, nothing is going to change in nine days, if

anything you get better because you have time to rest and freshen up.

It was just managing everything else, coming back from the talk and

going straight into the holding camp in Surrey, and concentrating

on the road race for Mark Cavendish. That was it really. I was confident

that not a lot would change from a performance. One thing does change,

the pressure of expectation and athletes can deal with that in

different ways. Yeah, I thrive off that, I really get into my thing. I

knew it was there physically, I wanted to go out there and make

those people happy. When you are out there you are conscious of the

noise. It was phenomenal. You have all sorts of goodwill messages,

this from Chris Foy. And Chris Froome, we should mention him as

well. He has kind of got overshadowed perhaps by my

performance in the last six weeks. Himself, second in the Tour de

France, Olympic medallist, phenomenal, really. I have a lot of

the accolades but we shouldn't forget that what he has achieved in

the last couple of weeks. During the race, you must have felt you

were going well. You get lots of information as you are going along.

Because you start at minute and a half intervals, you must need to

know what the time is. We carry radios, I am getting the feedback

all the time. There are some quite long stretches, I could see the

vehicles behind, Tony Martin in front of me, he was the main

challenger. Once I got in sight I was up on him, plus you were

getting the time checks. Can I ask you who gives you that information?

Sean Yates was behind me in the car, he has been with me in all the

races I have won this year. He came in and did that job. You won by 42

seconds, it sounds a hell of a lot to me. In time trialing terms, it

is. You only have to win by a second. For every five, six seconds,

it equates to a power of measured in Watts. A bit like the 100 metres

sprint in the athletics. The one hundredth of a second equates to so

many metres. Every three, four seconds on the road equates to

however many metres. 42 seconds, it is the best part of 500 metres, it

is a lot over that distance that you are taking. It only had to be

one second. 42 is nice. You are still unaware, coming into the

finish and I couldn't take my foot off the gas. It only takes one
