:02:21. > :02:31.This is a massive victory. He led that relay in a brilliance

:02:31. > :02:35.when. Look at that. He was so tough. The USA win gold in the women's 400

:02:35. > :02:45.freestyle relay. The crowd are starting to stand up

:02:45. > :02:52.

:02:52. > :02:59.Eight gold medals already for the USA and all the big names are in

:02:59. > :03:09.action tonight. All-American hero Ryan Lochte already has two gold

:03:43. > :03:51.tonight. Great Britain's women's hockey team

:03:51. > :04:01.are bidding for a third straight win.

:04:01. > :04:01.

:04:01. > :04:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:04:56. > :05:00.Scotsman Josh Taylor will need to David Florent and Richard Hounslow

:05:00. > :05:05.qualified as the fastest pair but Britain's other pairing of Tim

:05:05. > :05:15.Baillie and Etienne Stott were the slowest of the finalists so they

:05:15. > :05:37.

:05:37. > :05:47.were first to go in the final. -- competing so well over the last

:05:47. > :05:47.

:05:47. > :06:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:06:48. > :06:58.is one of the trickiest parts of the course. Upstream they go. This

:06:58. > :07:22.

:07:22. > :07:32.is looking good for Great Britain. seen so far. Absolutely brilliant.

:07:32. > :07:33.

:07:33. > :07:43.Amazingly, Baillie and Stott led the competition. A great Slovakian

:07:43. > :07:56.

:07:56. > :08:06.medallist. -- David Florence. They are chasing the time by their

:08:06. > :08:12.

:08:12. > :08:19.friends and training partners. are setting up the line. There have

:08:19. > :08:26.du Duc. They will have to maintain this through the most difficult

:08:26. > :08:32.parts of the course. Etienne and 10 just went brilliantly. They lost a

:08:32. > :08:40.bit of time there. This is where Baillie and Stott really won it, I

:08:40. > :08:45.think. They set the fastest time so far. They will have lost a lot of

:08:45. > :08:51.time, Florence and Hounslow but possibly not enough to push them

:08:51. > :08:58.below the Hochschorner brothers. Florence and Hounslow have got to

:08:58. > :09:04.keep it together. They are working hard on the exit of Gate 16 and 17.

:09:04. > :09:11.They are up on the split. The this would be an incredible performance.

:09:11. > :09:16.They have shown immense promise so far. Everybody in the stadium is

:09:16. > :09:22.cheering. Everybody in the commentary area is screening here

:09:22. > :09:28.for David Florence and Richard Hounslow. They are out in the

:09:28. > :09:32.middle of the course. Two to go. This could be gold and silver for

:09:32. > :09:42.Great Britain. Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott lead. Oh, my

:09:42. > :09:52.goodness! They have got a silver medal. They are the Olympic

:09:52. > :09:53.

:09:53. > :10:03.What an incredible achievement. The first ever gold medal in this

:10:03. > :10:07.Olympic sport but also a silver medal as well. It was a gold medal

:10:07. > :10:13.for Baillie and Stott, a magnificent performance. Afterwards,

:10:13. > :10:18.all four of them spoke to Jonathan Edwards. We will come to that in a

:10:18. > :10:24.minute because these were the celebrations. And well might they

:10:24. > :10:34.celebrate. Brilliant stuff from Baillie and Stott. They receive

:10:34. > :10:37.

:10:37. > :10:42.their gold medals in front of a huge crowd. Vet's hear from them.

:10:42. > :10:48.I can hardly put into words what this atmosphere is like. Tell us

:10:48. > :10:52.what that means to you? It was the most difficult start line we have

:10:52. > :11:00.ever sat on. We knew the Times had gone really well but we had to try

:11:00. > :11:07.and really focused on our own run. We put when -- put in a good run.

:11:07. > :11:11.To win an Olympic medal, we are certainly not disappointed. It was

:11:11. > :11:17.fantastic. Sitting on the start- line we knew that Britain had got a

:11:17. > :11:23.gold medal, basically, which on its own was fantastic. We are one team.

:11:23. > :11:28.It is all about Team GB. But we wanted to put a result in. We

:11:28. > :11:32.attacked it hard all the way down. It was probably the sprint to the

:11:32. > :11:36.finish. That was the difference between a Olympic champions and

:11:37. > :11:42.silver medallists. But it is fantastic. You talk about Olympic

:11:42. > :11:47.champions, next bring them in. I am sorry to shuffle you out of the way.

:11:47. > :11:54.This is amazing, Tim Baillie, Etienne Stott, you were the Olympic

:11:54. > :11:59.champions. It is weird. It does not seem quite like that is what is

:11:59. > :12:04.happening. This morning, we did not know what could happen, it could

:12:04. > :12:09.have been a disaster but now it is a complete dream. I do not think so

:12:09. > :12:13.real covers it. It is incredible. I was really happy that we would be

:12:13. > :12:19.in the top six at least and made the final. I thought if we finished

:12:19. > :12:25.4th, that would be a great result, the same as our coach got in Sydney.

:12:25. > :12:30.For these boys to finish second and for us to win, I don't know. It has

:12:30. > :12:34.made up for it. There has been huge pressure on the team. The first

:12:34. > :12:39.couple of days did not go very well so to come out and do this shows

:12:39. > :12:45.huge heart. We did all feel the pressure. I felt we needed

:12:45. > :12:51.something to go right. We needed to get boats in the finals. These guys

:12:51. > :12:56.and thus, in our sport, there is nothing taken for granted. To get

:12:56. > :13:01.into the final, that was amazing. Just over a year ago I had surgery

:13:01. > :13:07.on my shoulder and I thought, could that be? That path from then to now,

:13:07. > :13:13.I cannot get round it. Tim, when you finished that run, you look at

:13:13. > :13:17.that time, up what did you think that was good enough for? We had no

:13:17. > :13:20.idea what the Times were on the first runs because we only look at

:13:20. > :13:25.how far off we were from Dave and Richard when we finished. We asked

:13:25. > :13:30.if it was a decent time or not. I was hoping it would be good enough

:13:30. > :13:35.for a medal. You can never tell. It was such a high-quality final. All

:13:35. > :13:42.the boats were really good. The sport is ins -- inconsistent, hard

:13:42. > :13:47.to be consistent. I did not expect that. Two little bits of history.

:13:47. > :13:53.First ever Olympic gold medal for clue -- canoe slalom and you beat

:13:54. > :14:00.the Hochschorners. They are great champions, amazing athlete. They

:14:00. > :14:04.are our models. We watch them in the canoe slalom. To beat them,

:14:04. > :14:09.they had a record to beat today and they are amazing athlete. We have

:14:09. > :14:17.managed to beat them but it has taken nothing of their achievements.

:14:17. > :14:26.They are a fantastic crew. They are still the best C2 crew in history.

:14:26. > :14:31.But you are the best C2 Crewe today. Yes, exactly. I am happy about that.

:14:31. > :14:35.We all are. We hope to hear from them. They are coming to the studio,

:14:35. > :14:40.paddling hard. At the same time as that drama was

:14:40. > :14:45.happening at Lee Valley, Richard Wilson was going for gold in the

:14:45. > :14:50.shooting event. Richard led by three shots going into the final

:14:50. > :15:00.round. Could he win the first shooting medal since Sydney in

:15:00. > :15:02.

:15:02. > :15:09.Peter Wilson started the day well, qualifying with a higher score of

:15:09. > :15:13.143. His nearest rivals, await's Aldeehani, and Russia's and Vassily

:15:14. > :15:23.Mosin got off to good start in the final, but Wilson was right up

:15:24. > :15:29.

:15:30. > :15:33.there with them -- await's lead as the final progressed --

:15:33. > :15:41.Mosin started to call back the lead is a fine of progress, but Wilson

:15:42. > :15:48.stayed ahead. We have 20 shots to go in the men's double trap final.

:15:48. > :15:53.So, Peter Wilson has a one-shot lead. A narrowest of leads Paul

:15:54. > :16:03.Wilson but his Kuwaiti and Russian opponents were still keeping the

:16:04. > :16:16.

:16:16. > :16:23.Dahlby got to within two shots of Wilson, who could not afford to

:16:23. > :16:28.miss with his final effort. And he does it! Peter Wilson has done it.

:16:28. > :16:33.He has won gold. He sinks to his knees. He has won gold for Great

:16:33. > :16:37.Britain, the third gold of the game for the host nations. He held his

:16:37. > :16:44.nerve brilliantly, Peter Wilson, and the crowd here at the Royal

:16:44. > :16:53.Artillery Barracks rise to salute this 25-year-old from Dorset. A

:16:54. > :16:58.Olympic gold in the Men's Double And here he is. Peter Wilson.

:16:58. > :17:01.Congratulations. A remarkable performance and you seem so called.

:17:01. > :17:08.Well done. The us what everyone said, but I was a bag of nerves.

:17:08. > :17:10.But it was a great a -- that is what everyone said. I never would

:17:10. > :17:16.have thought your sport would be brilliant to watch, but I sat there

:17:16. > :17:21.this afternoon and it was enthralling. Such drama. I tried

:17:21. > :17:26.missing just to the end to worry everybody. You must Toulon the

:17:26. > :17:32.bounce and we thought it was all going wrong. -- you missed macro

:17:32. > :17:39.tutu on the bounce. A I thought I would add a bit of spice of life. -

:17:39. > :17:42.- two on the bounce. It went down to one shot for the lead when he

:17:42. > :17:48.went down, so how could you stay that calm under that kind of

:17:48. > :17:52.pressure? It must be going through your head, gold, gold. I tried not

:17:52. > :17:56.put too much emphasis on it. I tried to play it as a standard

:17:56. > :18:00.final. The crowd were amazing and I never experienced anything like it

:18:00. > :18:04.before but I tried to play down as best I could and try to enjoy it

:18:04. > :18:11.and enjoy the moment. If you can't enjoy this moment, why are you

:18:11. > :18:16.doing it? I noticed that you had a line of shooters there, and a few

:18:16. > :18:24.seconds before every time you lined up, I saw you putting your hand up.

:18:24. > :18:29.Can you tell me what you doing? the side of my left index finger

:18:29. > :18:34.and I have marks, just ridges on my hand, but it tells me how high I

:18:34. > :18:40.can hold the gun from the trap house, which is the concrete pad in

:18:40. > :18:44.front of me. I have a mark where I hold my hand and I can take a

:18:44. > :18:51.measure. It means where a borrower underworld, in Dorset or Timbuktu,

:18:51. > :18:59.I have a point of reference where I hold my gun -- whenever I am in the

:18:59. > :19:04.world. You can move across and track -- attack the second.

:19:04. > :19:10.lost your funding four years ago, so a remarkable story behind every

:19:10. > :19:15.medal. It was tough. It is never easy for anyone who comes out there

:19:15. > :19:21.that -- to win a gold, but it's very hard to win your -- after you

:19:21. > :19:25.lose your support. I was able to get back on funding shortly after

:19:25. > :19:32.the support and got the support of British shooting and the management

:19:32. > :19:37.and coaches. When you say you had a man became help you, not just a man,

:19:37. > :19:44.it was an Arab sheikh. Yes, some friends from Dubai. He was a bit

:19:44. > :19:48.random. He was a friend, so it sounds more crazy then it is, but

:19:48. > :19:51.we compete together and constantly talk about squash. He was an

:19:51. > :19:56.international squash player. We became friends over the years of

:19:56. > :20:01.competing with him and in Beijing I was sent out as part of Ambition

:20:01. > :20:05.2012, which was a phenomenal thing and the great thing to experience.

:20:06. > :20:11.I got the opportunity to speak to Ahmed, One 2 One and said it was

:20:11. > :20:17.guaranteed a would lose my funding and would he consider helping me. I

:20:17. > :20:22.said I would quit after Beijing and that was enough. He said he would

:20:22. > :20:28.be delighted to have a chat with me. A few months later I was in Dubai,

:20:28. > :20:32.sitting in his palace, and we were sitting on some coffee and we did

:20:32. > :20:37.some deals over a coffee and a handshake. I saw a lovely embrace

:20:37. > :20:43.with your father to stop you got a medal. He is joining us now, little

:20:43. > :20:51.surprise, from the headquarters of Team GB. Charles, I believe! How

:20:51. > :20:57.emotional was that for you? can't hear anything! He is half

:20:57. > :21:05.death! Let's try and sort that out over the next few seconds. Coming

:21:05. > :21:08.back T U, Peter. -- coming back to you, Peter, you got snowboarding

:21:08. > :21:12.injury and then you went into shooting from that. A friend of

:21:12. > :21:18.mine, who is almost my little brother, he hates it when I said I

:21:18. > :21:22.was a decent cricketer or squads I, and he's called Humphrey Gibbs, but

:21:22. > :21:26.I wasn't very good like him. But I love playing squash and cricket,

:21:27. > :21:31.and that is why I love sport and I love the Olympics because it is a

:21:31. > :21:34.great place to be. I dislocated the nerves in my shoulder and it meant

:21:34. > :21:38.I was out of playing any sort of games for about a year and I was no

:21:38. > :21:43.good at chess or tiddlywinks, so sitting down doing nothing was not

:21:43. > :21:47.an option. I began to shoot one handed with my arm in a sling. Then

:21:47. > :21:51.I went from strength to strength, came back to sport and realised I

:21:51. > :21:55.was worse at cricket and squash than I was to begin with and had a

:21:55. > :21:59.go at shooting full-time. I was lucky. I went to Millfield School

:22:00. > :22:02.in Somerset and they have a wide and diverse sports curriculum and I

:22:02. > :22:08.was given the opportunity to shoot there and went from strength to

:22:08. > :22:13.strength. Can you hear us now, Charles? Good news. How emotional

:22:13. > :22:18.was that? It was absolute torture until the point where he won. I

:22:18. > :22:23.would love an explanation as to why he missed that pair. He has already

:22:23. > :22:29.told us that he did it on purpose to keep everyone interested. Well,

:22:29. > :22:35.next time let us know. It must be an unbelievable thrill to wash --

:22:35. > :22:38.watch your son winning an Olympic gold medal. It is exactly that.

:22:38. > :22:43.Something you are never ready for, especially in his first Olympics,

:22:43. > :22:48.to go into the final with what was only a small advantage and to

:22:48. > :22:51.actually lose the advantage in one pair and then fight back which

:22:51. > :22:59.showed enormous character. I am very, very impressed by what he has

:22:59. > :23:05.done. You can tell him to a man. How proud are you? I am proud

:23:05. > :23:11.enough! No, I am absolutely thrilled. Not just for him, but for

:23:11. > :23:17.all the people who shoot in Great Britain and all the club shooters

:23:17. > :23:24.and up to international level. What he has done is shone a light for

:23:24. > :23:30.all of us, which is invaluable. Thank you for joining us. That is

:23:30. > :23:34.what is about, the great emotion. It is a wonderful sport. I think

:23:34. > :23:39.the most important thing I could have done by winning is that it

:23:39. > :23:42.brings more attention to shooting, and it is a wonderful sport. I was

:23:42. > :23:49.saying earlier today that I would encourage anyone to take it up.

:23:49. > :23:54.People were asking when when I would stop? I could go until I was

:23:54. > :24:01.50, dad's age. Grey and gold. of you, thanks very much for

:24:01. > :24:05.joining us. Well done again, just a brilliantly thrilling afternoon.

:24:05. > :24:10.The spectacular Velodrome made its Olympic debut today with

:24:10. > :24:15.aspirations for Team GB extremely high. Seven goals came away in

:24:15. > :24:18.Beijing or limiting each nation to one rider per event and a change in

:24:18. > :24:23.disciplines were certain to make that achievement difficult to match.

:24:23. > :24:27.We will start with the women's team sprint. Going for Great Britain,

:24:27. > :24:31.Victoria Pendleton and Jess Varnish who set a new record but saw him

:24:31. > :24:41.beaten by the Chinese pair minutes later. They were up against Ukraine,

:24:41. > :24:43.

:24:43. > :24:53.to be one of the two fastest teams Jayesh varnish and Victoria Ben

:24:53. > :24:57.Watson. -- Jayesh varnish and Victoria Pendleton. -- Jess Varnish.

:24:57. > :25:03.There they go. Britain hoping to replicate their ride in the first

:25:03. > :25:13.round and a great start. Varnish is on fire. She will release Victoria

:25:13. > :25:14.

:25:14. > :25:20.and awesome. 18.954. -- she will release of Victoria Pendleton. This

:25:20. > :25:25.is Victoria Pendleton, back to her imperious best. 32.5674 Great

:25:25. > :25:31.Britain. Only just a tad slower than the ride in the first round,

:25:31. > :25:36.so it does show that Great Britain are backing this up. It is looking

:25:36. > :25:41.very much like it could be China versus Great Britain in the clash

:25:41. > :25:47.for gold. What is happening here? The commisaire are looking at the

:25:47. > :25:50.change windows? I was watching the British pair and looking at the

:25:50. > :25:54.changeover and Victoria Pendleton was coming through fast and I think

:25:54. > :25:59.they are not allowed to overtake before the first rider completes

:25:59. > :26:05.the lap. They are having a strong discussion in the centre. Dave

:26:05. > :26:09.Brailsford not looking happy. means that Great Britain are

:26:09. > :26:19.relegated, as they were clearly in for a ride for the gold and silver

:26:19. > :26:23.

:26:23. > :26:28.We did not changeover in the right zone on the track. When you are

:26:28. > :26:33.going that speed and Diane Wright on her wheel it is so easy if she

:26:33. > :26:37.moves up slightly, I move but -- and I moved up to her will. We have

:26:38. > :26:41.never had an illegal change before and I've never been concerned about

:26:41. > :26:47.it in the past. It's just one of those things that happens. It is

:26:47. > :26:51.not my fault or her fault, we are both partly to blame. We were

:26:51. > :26:56.probably just a bit too overwhelmed by the excitement and a bit too

:26:56. > :27:01.eager. We should have kept a lid on it a bit more. Such a shame, but

:27:01. > :27:06.putting a brave face on. Now to the men's team sprint final, and four-

:27:06. > :27:10.time gold medal winner Sir Chris Hoy went with Jason Kenny and the

:27:10. > :27:20.new lean of man, Philip Hindes were in sensational form to reach the

:27:20. > :27:28.

:27:28. > :27:38.And Great Britain in at the ride off went very quick to record a

:27:38. > :27:39.

:27:39. > :27:46.world record of 42.9. Listen to the raw -- the roar of the crowd, and

:27:46. > :27:51.they are standing up as they greet Philip Hindes, who blazed his rate

:27:51. > :27:57.round in a 17.2 in the previous round and there is Chris Hoy

:27:57. > :28:02.preparing, and in the middle is Jason Kenny. Kenny and Chris Hoy

:28:02. > :28:12.with medals in their pockets from four years ago and it will be the

:28:12. > :28:22.

:28:22. > :28:26.formidable trio of France against world, and on the other side of the

:28:26. > :28:30.track is Philip Hindes -- the fastest starter. He has to produce

:28:30. > :28:36.a personal best again if they will stay in contention. This will be a

:28:36. > :28:45.thriller. Away we go. The final of the men's team's brand. And Philip

:28:45. > :28:48.Hindes leads off and has to post another 17.2. France are already

:28:48. > :28:56.behind, and Philip Hindes is really rising to the challenge. Let's have

:28:56. > :29:00.a look. Great Britain are leading. Another 17.2 by Philip Hindes.

:29:00. > :29:06.Jason Kenny, can he storm around on the second lap? France on the back

:29:06. > :29:15.foot. And 0.2 behind. France will never pull his back. Here comes

:29:15. > :29:20.Chris Hoy to the final turn. And the crowd are going absolutely mad.

:29:21. > :29:25.Gold medal for Great Britain and the new world record! 42.6. I don't

:29:25. > :29:35.believe what I have seen here. They are going quicker and quicker, and

:29:35. > :29:38.

:29:39. > :29:48.That will be the British team then. The the applause is that allowed

:29:49. > :29:57.

:29:57. > :30:02.Philip Hindes, Jason Kearney and Philip Hindes, what an occasion, an

:30:02. > :30:07.Olympic champion. Kenny gets his second Olympic gold medal, he was

:30:07. > :30:12.in the team that won in Beijing, and Sir Chris Hoy gets his 5th

:30:12. > :30:20.Olympic gold medal. His voracious appetite for winning a gold medals

:30:20. > :30:24.continues. And at the silver that he won in 2000 in Sydney and he has

:30:25. > :30:31.not quite a record, but a haul of medals from the Olympic Games of

:30:31. > :30:41.six, just one shot of the record by Bradley Wiggins. Great Britain are

:30:41. > :30:49.

:30:49. > :30:55.the Olympic gold medal winners for Please stand for the national

:30:55. > :31:03.anthem of Great Britain. # God save our gracious Queen.

:31:03. > :31:13.# Long live our noble Queen. # God save the Queen.

:31:13. > :31:13.

:31:13. > :31:23.# Send her victorious. # Happy and glorious.

:31:23. > :31:43.

:31:43. > :31:48.# Long to reign over us. What a fantastic night. Are we

:31:48. > :31:55.going to replicate our achievements in Beijing? We have certainly

:31:55. > :32:05.started off right. World records falling all over the place. A

:32:05. > :32:06.

:32:06. > :32:11.sensational atmosphere. And the crowd are really pleased to be here.

:32:11. > :32:19.What a fantastic performance from the three British men, Chris Hoy,

:32:19. > :32:23.Philip Hindes and Jason Kenny. Chris Hoy is led up the constantly

:32:23. > :32:28.changing leader board of most successful British athletes. If you

:32:28. > :32:33.do it in this way where gold medals come first, Chris Hoy edges out

:32:33. > :32:38.Steve Redgrave by virtue of the fact he has a silver whereas Steve

:32:38. > :32:43.Redgrave has a bronze. Bradley Wiggins has the most medals of all.

:32:43. > :32:49.That could change as well. Let's hear from the victorious trio. They

:32:49. > :32:53.are with Jill Douglas. Massive congratulations. What an amazing

:32:53. > :32:59.moment here in the velodrome. Philip, your first Olympics, you

:32:59. > :33:04.have been on this team for a couple of years, what a time to smash your

:33:04. > :33:11.personal best? I cannot believe it. I still cannot believe I am an

:33:11. > :33:16.Olympic champion. It is a dream come true. Especially after what

:33:16. > :33:22.happened with the first race? it to get a restart. My first start

:33:22. > :33:29.was not the greatest. I thought to get a restart. So there was a bit

:33:29. > :33:33.of, you were trying to pull a fast one? Yes, I was trying to get the

:33:33. > :33:37.fastest time and get everything perfect. Well done, amazing to see

:33:37. > :33:44.with that gold medal. Jason, your second gold medal. I suppose you

:33:44. > :33:47.were very careful with that changeover? Yes, after the World

:33:47. > :33:51.Championships went disastrously wrong, it was something we wanted

:33:51. > :33:56.to get absolutely spot on. It was devastating to see it happen to the

:33:56. > :34:01.girls as well. Especially after that we kept everything really

:34:01. > :34:07.tight. We went through the motions, unbelievable. Double Olympic

:34:07. > :34:12.champion. I know, it is frightening. I cannot believe how quick we have

:34:12. > :34:17.gone here today. Phil just went like an absolute rocket and we were

:34:17. > :34:21.trying to keep up with him. It is unbelievable. Just found that half

:34:21. > :34:25.a second in the space of a year and delivered it perfectly. It looks

:34:25. > :34:30.good for the individual sprint. I know the French will be looking at

:34:30. > :34:34.the very carefully. Yes, there are a few guys here, the Germans,

:34:34. > :34:39.French and Aussies who are absolutely flying. It was the

:34:39. > :34:45.quickest competition I have ever seen. There is no reason to believe

:34:45. > :34:49.the sprint will be anything else. And finally to the anchorman, Sir

:34:49. > :34:53.Chris Hoy, I'm not sure what they will do to now, that does your 5th

:34:53. > :34:59.gold medal, the most successful ever British Olympian, there seemed

:34:59. > :35:02.to be some emotion there on the podium there. It was quite

:35:02. > :35:07.overwhelming. We knew it was possible but this did not come out

:35:07. > :35:14.of the blue. We knew we could put together the best possible race on

:35:14. > :35:19.the day but it is easier said than done. We timed it perfectly, we had

:35:19. > :35:22.an excellent training camp and we had the full support behind us. We

:35:22. > :35:26.nailed it. The real question for me was the three rides so close

:35:27. > :35:31.together. I dug deeper than I have ever done before. I knew the

:35:31. > :35:36.importance of what it was. I did not want to let the boys down. It

:35:36. > :35:41.was just immense pride to be able to do it in front of our home crowd

:35:41. > :35:45.here in the UK. It was phenomenal. You can not overstate what it means

:35:45. > :35:55.to us in front of a home crowd. This is a once-in-a-lifetime

:35:55. > :35:56.

:35:56. > :36:03.opportunity. We have enjoyed it and given it our all. You certainly

:36:03. > :36:09.delivered. Let's have a quick look at your gold medal. Thank you very

:36:09. > :36:12.much! I had better let you go. We will see you later in the week.

:36:12. > :36:19.Thanks to everyone back home and all the supporters on Twitter. It

:36:19. > :36:22.has been incredible. Welt said. From one that sports

:36:22. > :36:32.Personality of the Year to the reigning sports Personality of the

:36:32. > :36:33.

:36:33. > :36:38.Year, Mark Cavendish. 8 phenomenal effort. -- a phenomenal effort. I

:36:38. > :36:45.think it bodes well. Yes, the records were going by the teams

:36:45. > :36:48.before and then Britain was beating them. It was incredible. It was

:36:49. > :36:54.unfortunate with the girls getting relegated. Was that the right

:36:54. > :37:02.decision, do you feel? It is hard. It is like offside in football.

:37:02. > :37:06.There is a line. It can be close but it is or it isn't, that is how

:37:06. > :37:11.it works unfortunately. With the Olympic Games, nerves can come into

:37:11. > :37:17.play. It should have been worked with before that but they have got

:37:17. > :37:23.other events. Jess does not so she will be bitterly disappointed. We

:37:23. > :37:28.are off to a great start. brilliant performance from the guys.

:37:28. > :37:32.That was incredible. To do it in a world record time. Young Philip, it

:37:32. > :37:38.is his first Olympics, he was not part of it a few months ago. It

:37:38. > :37:42.would have been so easy to step up and be overwhelmed by it but he

:37:42. > :37:47.stepped up and delivered a blistering first lap. Jason to

:37:47. > :37:55.Cover, Christa Kovac and they were going faster and faster. -- Jason

:37:55. > :37:59.took over and Chris took over. Jason got a gold four years ago and

:37:59. > :38:04.then Sir Chris Hoy or Lord Hoyle whatever he will be called in

:38:04. > :38:10.future. I think they will have to think of more words for him. He is

:38:10. > :38:16.incredible. He is the most successful Olympian we have ever

:38:16. > :38:23.had now, six gold medals and a silver. More to come? Yes, there is

:38:23. > :38:29.his preferred event, the Kieran sprint and I think he will get a

:38:29. > :38:34.6th gold medal. What is it like in the velodrome? It is incredible.

:38:34. > :38:38.The velodrome is a closed roof and the theatre. There are only 6,000

:38:38. > :38:43.spectators but the noise it generates gives you goose bumps.

:38:43. > :38:51.Especially today, it was something I do not think I will ever feel

:38:51. > :38:56.again. At one stage where you think of entering this side of things?

:38:56. > :39:01.was. It is quite annoying. I had a look at going on the track but you

:39:01. > :39:05.had to win a World Cup in the last two years to do it. I had not

:39:05. > :39:09.because I was concentrating on the road. I was lining up on the road

:39:09. > :39:13.race and one of the French sprinters was on the start line up

:39:13. > :39:18.with us. He could enter the road race to ride the track and the

:39:18. > :39:26.Germans have got someone in the mountain bike. They found a

:39:26. > :39:31.loophole that we missed? It is quite frustrating. But the team

:39:31. > :39:35.today smashed the world record. time to head off to the swimming

:39:35. > :39:40.pool and due to the amount going on at the Olympics, Ian Thorpe will be

:39:40. > :39:45.at the Aquatics Centre with Clare Balding and Mark Foster.

:39:45. > :39:51.We will take good care of him, he will be fine with us. We have a few

:39:51. > :39:56.bricks in action, Fran Halsall is coming up in the final of the 100m

:39:56. > :40:03.freestyle. We will see Michael Phelps twice, Ryan Lochte twice and

:40:03. > :40:08.we will see Chad le Clos in the 100m semi-final. The first event is

:40:08. > :40:12.the 280 breaststroke where we have the defending champion Rebecca Soni.

:40:12. > :40:16.I thought you made a mistake but you did not. We will see Rebecca

:40:16. > :40:21.Soni try to become the first swimmer to successfully defend her

:40:21. > :40:25.title? It is surprising. We are already getting to the end of the

:40:25. > :40:30.meat and no one has been out to defend their Olympic title. If she

:40:30. > :40:34.does not do it, next is Ryan Lochte and then Phelps. Ryan Lochte and

:40:34. > :40:40.Michael Phelps have such a busy night. They will not have a lot of

:40:40. > :40:48.time to recover. South Africa have had a fantastic week already.

:40:48. > :40:58.Chad's dad is a new hero. He is our hero anyway. Interestingly, Chad le

:40:58. > :40:58.

:40:58. > :41:06.Clos has pulled out of I am to concentrate on this. -- the

:41:06. > :41:11.individual medley. There is Rebecca Soni. What I did forget to say it

:41:11. > :41:16.is we will see James Goddard in the final of the 200m individual medley.

:41:17. > :41:26.I apologised to James for that. How would you read this final? It is

:41:27. > :41:27.

:41:27. > :41:32.one of those things, I think it will be very difficult for anyone.

:41:32. > :41:39.I don't know how to pronounce Rebecca Soni's main. It is like a

:41:39. > :41:42.song. She is the defending Olympic champion. There is very little

:41:42. > :41:48.Olympic experience in this field because she is the only one who has

:41:48. > :41:56.won a medal. She will win, it will be a question of how quick she goes

:41:56. > :42:01.and whether she beat the record. have an age range between 20-27.

:42:01. > :42:08.The 27-year-old is Sally Foster from Australia. I think she might

:42:08. > :42:12.be related to mark! And Adrian Moorhouse and Andy Jamieson are the

:42:12. > :42:17.ones trying to make themselves heard above this huge and roaring

:42:17. > :42:27.crowd here. Let's join them for the final of the 200m women's

:42:27. > :42:32.

:42:32. > :42:41.ready to go. That is Rebecca Soni. I thought she was going to be the

:42:41. > :42:51.first woman in history to go under two minutes 20 in the semi-final,

:42:51. > :42:56.

:42:56. > :43:06.six. The defending Olympic champion and world record holder, Rebecca

:43:06. > :43:14.

:43:15. > :43:19.start. On the 100m she lost on the start. It amazes me because she

:43:19. > :43:25.loses maybe half a second on the start. To give away that sort of

:43:25. > :43:32.time, not against the rest of the field but against the world record,

:43:32. > :43:42.here she goes. She is starting to move through the field. The rest of

:43:42. > :44:06.

:44:06. > :44:16.bronze medals. The silver is up for pacing of her own time from last

:44:16. > :44:40.

:44:40. > :44:48.Dragging along his Suzuki in lane she is really swimming well. That

:44:48. > :44:55.line is her in the semi-final. rest of the field are having

:44:55. > :45:04.balsams wins. They are not intimidated at all. -- they are

:45:04. > :45:10.having awesome swimmers. I do not know what will happen down here.

:45:10. > :45:15.The Russian swimmer is coming back like a train. It looks like Rebecca

:45:15. > :45:19.Soni in the centre will take the world record. She is just ahead of

:45:19. > :45:29.that world record. See if we can see the first woman under two

:45:29. > :45:35.

:45:35. > :45:41.brilliant swim. That was definitely her target in the semi-final and

:45:41. > :45:50.she missed it by 1,100 the second. We have never seen that before. The

:45:50. > :45:56.first woman under 2.20 and second and third both went out to 0.20.

:45:56. > :46:02.Suzuki second, so the Japanese getting the silver. And Rebecca

:46:02. > :46:07.Soni, this is just stunning. A wonderful swim. Pumping the air,

:46:07. > :46:16.and that is brilliant. I never thought I would see a woman go

:46:16. > :46:19.below 2.20. Fantastic swimming. You know what, because the rest of the

:46:20. > :46:23.field were so close I wasn't sure she was swimming that well, but she

:46:23. > :46:29.was winning incredibly well. But the rest of them wrote to the

:46:29. > :46:37.challenge. You have to give Suzuki big applause for the guts she

:46:37. > :46:45.showed. So historic barrier goes, the first woman ever. And Suzuki

:46:45. > :46:51.and Efimova, brilliant. I didn't think I would see three making that

:46:51. > :46:59.sort of time. Efimova in the pink cow passed be pleased. Utterly

:46:59. > :47:06.brilliant. -- in the pink cap has to be pleased. She had really lost

:47:06. > :47:13.the 100 metres, but that has surely made up for it. A wonderful gold

:47:13. > :47:18.medal. Rebecca Soni with a new You are the first Olympian to

:47:18. > :47:24.actually defend your title at the Games. I wasn't thinking about any

:47:24. > :47:29.of that. I kept that all out of my mind and just stuck to the race.

:47:29. > :47:38.I'm so excited. You said yesterday you wanted to get under 20, and you

:47:38. > :47:43.did it. I did it. I have been chasing that for years and years.

:47:43. > :47:48.Back when I was in high school, the coach told me I would make 2.18 and

:47:48. > :47:53.I had been keeping that myself as a secret goals, but now I've done

:47:53. > :47:57.that great time. Trying to inspire young people at a home Olympics is

:47:57. > :48:01.one of those things, but even now you are saying your first coach is

:48:01. > :48:07.important to you. Absolutely. He believed in me more than any coach

:48:08. > :48:12.I have ever known. I have had tons of great coaches along the way, but

:48:12. > :48:18.he was someone I looked up to and he really pushed me to keep working

:48:18. > :48:23.harder. Than she very much. Well What a fantastic way to start the

:48:23. > :48:30.evening. That is Rebecca Soni's second world record of the games

:48:30. > :48:37.and she defends her title, going under 2.20 and we move straight on

:48:37. > :48:46.to the of Men's backstroke final. Tyler Clary and Ryan Lochte of the

:48:46. > :48:54.US, Lochte already a winner of the 400 metres individual melody. --

:48:54. > :49:01.medley. What does he do in terms of this race? Can he devoted all --

:49:01. > :49:07.give it his all and the same again later? That is a tough question. I

:49:07. > :49:11.would be saying that you have trained to be able to swing

:49:11. > :49:18.multiple races and events, and when you compare the races to what the

:49:18. > :49:22.guys do in training, he should be able to back it up in time. If he

:49:22. > :49:28.gets in a good swim here he will be hyped and ready to go. He comes,

:49:28. > :49:33.the defending champion in the event. Having had no one successfully

:49:33. > :49:42.defend an Olympic title, we could have two one after the other. Teen

:49:42. > :49:45.USA on their feet already. I think the thing is here, it is a case of

:49:45. > :49:50.that Lochte should win the race. If he goes fall out, he will win the

:49:50. > :49:55.race, but how much does he's back and save it for the individual

:49:55. > :50:01.medley. I think you'll do what is needed to win. I think the big race,

:50:01. > :50:06.the 200, later, he will need everything. Will we do lactate

:50:07. > :50:11.testing in training, and you give yourself 30 minutes, even 10

:50:11. > :50:17.minutes and go again and you did that - learn to deal with the pain.

:50:17. > :50:21.This is one of the most fatiguing races. Use -- used big muscles in

:50:21. > :50:26.your legs that produced the lactic acid. He will be tired, the one she

:50:26. > :50:34.start recovering from that, your body knows how to process it.

:50:34. > :50:41.lens of the pool -- four lengths. How many strokes to they know they

:50:41. > :50:51.have got coming? Everybody has their own stroke break. All eyes on

:50:51. > :51:04.

:51:04. > :51:10.Irie. At the big boys in lane four and five and difficult to see past

:51:10. > :51:20.them. The defending champion is Ryan Lochte, the world champion as

:51:20. > :51:21.

:51:21. > :51:25.well, but not the world record qualifier, but Ryan Lochte, we have

:51:25. > :51:30.not seen him at full bore. We wonder how he will swim this

:51:30. > :51:35.because he has the massive 200 medley came to head with the

:51:35. > :51:40.Michael Phelps threat shortly. think Lochte has to put everything

:51:40. > :51:44.into the race and swimmers if it is his only final tonight. We saw him

:51:44. > :51:48.in the heats and the semis playing around and then he blasted in the

:51:48. > :51:58.last length. But here he should be leading all the way. He will not

:51:58. > :52:02.give Tyler Clary a sniff, to be frank. Clary cannot have the

:52:02. > :52:10.confidence to be on his shoulder, but this is a race for Lochte to

:52:10. > :52:20.lose. Beautiful technique and Kawecki going well in lane number

:52:20. > :52:20.

:52:20. > :52:24.two. Lochte first to the turn. Ryosuke Irie quick to the turn and

:52:24. > :52:31.he has not destroyed the field like he has done on the turns, and Tyler

:52:31. > :52:35.Clary is starting to attack him. This is not over. It is not over

:52:35. > :52:39.and he is looking a bit groggy. He is holding the water well, but

:52:39. > :52:45.coming into the turn he will need a massive one. He has lost a bit of

:52:45. > :52:49.his lead and they will turn close together. Lochte stays and a longer

:52:49. > :52:54.than the rest and comes up and this is going to be very big. I wonder

:52:54. > :52:59.if he can hold this. He did not have the best turn at all. Tyler

:52:59. > :53:03.Clary with a better one of the three. Tyler Clary looking good.

:53:04. > :53:09.Ryosuke Irie coming back. This is going to be really tight. It looks

:53:09. > :53:14.like it will be Tyler Clary or maybe even Ryosuke Irie. I my

:53:14. > :53:22.goodness me, it is Clary, a new Olympic record, and he wins gold,

:53:22. > :53:28.the silver goes to Ryosuke Irie of Japan, and Lochte gets the bronze.

:53:28. > :53:34.Well, Ryan Lochte is not superhuman after all, again. He has won more

:53:34. > :53:40.to recover and it is something that has shaken him. Clary cannot

:53:40. > :53:47.believe it, I think. He was behind on the first hundred. He was on

:53:47. > :53:53.Lochte shoulder and on the last term I thought Lochte looked tired.

:53:53. > :53:58.I am surprised he did not make the big difference there. He will go

:53:58. > :54:03.away, trying have a rest down for the 200 medley and Michael Phelps

:54:03. > :54:10.might be thinking, that is interesting. This is just

:54:10. > :54:16.extraordinary. Don't bet on swimming. It's not a good idea.

:54:16. > :54:20.Unbelievable. Look at that. He did not have the best turn with 25 to

:54:20. > :54:30.go. He was not leading and got caught up. In the end it wasn't

:54:30. > :54:30.

:54:30. > :54:36.actually that close. 53.41 it. 53.9 made by Ryan Lochte E. He lost by

:54:36. > :54:40.half a second. That is huge. will have to regroup. You said it

:54:40. > :54:43.would have to be brutal to win boast finals, but take nothing away

:54:43. > :54:47.from Clary, he paced it fantastically well and not

:54:47. > :54:56.intimidated at all. The thing about the backstroke easy finish and you

:54:56. > :54:58.can see the scoreboard straight If I need to say thank-you to NBC

:54:58. > :55:04.because they are giving me the great American's first. You looked

:55:04. > :55:08.a little surprised at the end. is not really how I planned on the

:55:08. > :55:13.race panning out, but I stuck to my game plan and it worked out this

:55:13. > :55:17.time. I don't even really know what to say right now. You always think

:55:17. > :55:24.about having a result like that, but the first time it happens it is

:55:24. > :55:29.pretty incredible. You can wake me up now! Is your family in the

:55:29. > :55:33.audience? Have they been able to come over? My whole family is here

:55:33. > :55:38.and I imagine there are a lot of tears flowing. I love all of them

:55:38. > :55:44.and I am so happy they are here. Tell us about the nose clip. How

:55:44. > :55:48.important is it you? Everybody else blows air out through their nose,

:55:48. > :55:52.but I find it is it easier to do it under water with this. I am not

:55:52. > :55:57.able to keep water out of my nose as much as everyone else, so that

:55:57. > :56:07.is why I use it. Well good for you, and now you are an Olympic champion.

:56:07. > :56:08.

:56:08. > :56:18.so. He upset stockholder -- and he sets an Olympic record in doing so

:56:18. > :56:22.and he upsets Ryan Lochte. Ryan Lochte made the mistake of saying

:56:22. > :56:27.that Michael Phelps had got there on talent alone. A big cheer behind

:56:27. > :56:32.us, because Lizzie Simmons is coming out for the semi-final of

:56:32. > :56:35.the 200 metres backstroke. She has got her big ear defenders on. But

:56:35. > :56:44.how surprised I either with Tyler Clary and all the talk before and

:56:44. > :56:49.has delivered? It was a different event about Michael. But around the

:56:50. > :56:56.hype, it was around another race, but he does fall into a very elite

:56:56. > :57:01.club where some of the things he can say now people will take more

:57:01. > :57:07.notice of. So well done to him. He surprised us. We thought it was all

:57:07. > :57:13.Lochte. I was going to say it is a good job we do not bet, because we

:57:13. > :57:17.would have lost a lot on that. You peg down some of the swimmers,

:57:17. > :57:21.thinking, they will win that one, they will win that one, but it

:57:21. > :57:25.shows that anything can happen and to retain your title he's really

:57:25. > :57:35.difficult. So when these guys are going for three in a row, it shows

:57:35. > :57:42.Good on Tyler Clary, and now he can savour that. Yeah, the right

:57:42. > :57:48.headlines now. He will be happy he is in the newspapers. Elizabeth

:57:48. > :57:51.diesel will be pretty hot favourite. The top eight times will go through

:57:51. > :57:57.to the final tomorrow. It is not about way you finish in the heat,

:57:57. > :58:07.it is about the time that she said. Let's rejoin Andy. -- the time that

:58:07. > :58:17.

:58:17. > :58:23.of the picture. A great silver medal for her on the medley. The

:58:23. > :58:33.Chinese just flew pastor to take gold. On the left-hand side of the

:58:33. > :58:37.

:58:37. > :58:42.shot, she will be at the top of the needs to control her nerves and

:58:42. > :58:52.control the first 25 metres and pick it up from there. Right at the

:58:52. > :58:57.

:58:57. > :59:04.normally, and a very good start there. And look at that red hat at

:59:04. > :59:14.the top. She needs control it. perfect start from Lizzie. She is

:59:14. > :59:19.

:59:19. > :59:24.leading all the way through now. overwhelmed there, but the crowds

:59:24. > :59:31.are now starting to shout for Lizzie. Great first 50 metres.

:59:31. > :59:34.Great use of the wall and she is outside the rest of the field. She

:59:35. > :59:39.is right on the Green Lane line, almost like she doesn't want to be

:59:40. > :59:45.in the same race. The rest are starting to come back a bit, and

:59:45. > :59:48.she has gone out pretty quick. The first 25 was just under the British

:59:48. > :59:55.record pace set by Gemma Spofforth. It looks like she will be in the

:59:56. > :00:02.hunt. Turning in third, but the top four are close. Great turn again.

:00:02. > :00:06.Very deep, though. Coming up again, same sort of angle. She is right on

:00:06. > :00:16.the line again. It is fascinating to watch, actually, almost like she

:00:16. > :00:20.

:00:20. > :00:26.doesn't want to be in the same race. for the last 50. If you can hold

:00:26. > :00:31.what will now be 4th, or third place just, she will be fined. She

:00:31. > :00:38.is still under water. These terms are fantastic quality. She came out

:00:38. > :00:44.back in third place. Let's see what she has got left in her legs.

:00:44. > :00:54.field are coming back at Lizzie. She needs to get going. She is 4th,

:00:54. > :01:04.

:01:04. > :01:14.but may be starting to fall into semi-final heat. Mega in was second.

:01:14. > :01:31.

:01:31. > :01:36.I can only maybe C3 people that will go faster than that. As you

:01:36. > :01:42.have said before, the form book is out of the window. Elizabeth Beisel

:01:42. > :01:51.was very strong, finishing on the wall. Looking at the clock as she

:01:51. > :02:01.finishes, obviously happy with that. That was the best time for her,

:02:01. > :02:08.

:02:08. > :02:14.2.618. The reaction says she has is it fast enough? The guys are

:02:14. > :02:22.just saying, is a fast enough? a little bit disappointed. It was

:02:22. > :02:29.better than this morning. I would have liked a little bit better.

:02:29. > :02:33.Still a decent swim. Experiencing this and being with the crowd,

:02:33. > :02:41.thank you to everyone who came to light. Don't count yourself out

:02:41. > :02:46.next -- yet. I will definitely be watching the next one. It could be

:02:46. > :02:50.very good to sneak in tomorrow night but I think I could miss out.

:02:50. > :02:56.We will keep our fingers crossed for you.

:02:56. > :03:01.I hope she does make it. The swimmers coming out now are for the

:03:01. > :03:06.second semi-final and includes Missy Franklin and Kirsty Coventry.

:03:06. > :03:10.She is 11 years older than Mr Franklin. It is amazing the age

:03:10. > :03:16.range. Something about Lizzie Simmonds, she is an insomniac, she

:03:16. > :03:21.reads a lot at night because she struggles to sleep. So swimming at

:03:21. > :03:25.night could be better? Yes, I have mentioned this before. In a country

:03:25. > :03:29.which does not have such strength and depth like America, she is not

:03:29. > :03:32.used to be shown herself in the morning. If you are an insomniac

:03:32. > :03:38.and not sleeping in the evening, she will probably have arrested

:03:38. > :03:42.during the day. A huge reception for Missy Franklin. And Kirsty

:03:42. > :03:47.Coventry who has been such a star over so many years. What

:03:47. > :03:51.consistency. The consistency as well and for a long time was the

:03:51. > :03:59.bridesmaid. She never won the gold at the Olympics but she has done

:03:59. > :04:06.that now and I was very glad to see that. With Kirsty Coventry, she is

:04:06. > :04:11.also the one going for three in a row. She won in 2004 and 2008.

:04:11. > :04:17.Stephanie Proud has got and handing -- a standing ovation. The home

:04:17. > :04:27.crowd is very much behind Turtle Stott she was a European junior

:04:27. > :04:38.

:04:38. > :04:48.championship. -- the home crowd is Missy Franklin of the USA. Kirsty

:04:48. > :04:50.

:04:50. > :04:57.Coventry, great to see her back. Olympic champion in 2004 and 2008.

:04:57. > :05:07.Coventry is in lane five, Franklin in lane four. Steph Proud will be

:05:07. > :05:24.

:05:24. > :05:30.Franklin. Not so good for staff proud. She trains with Gemma

:05:30. > :05:40.Spofforth at the University of Florida. Write off the pace in

:05:40. > :06:20.

:06:20. > :06:25.Coventry could repeat from 2004 and Andy's microphone has gone so why

:06:25. > :06:32.will keep going. Missy Franklin in the centre already has two gold

:06:32. > :06:35.medals and a bronze. Coventry is slipping back. Sinead Russell is

:06:36. > :06:45.fantastic here. Stephanie Proud is working hard to get back into the

:06:46. > :06:59.

:06:59. > :07:05.wonder if she's going for the world record. She is really working hard.

:07:05. > :07:15.Stephanie Proud is in the hunt. She is starting to catch up with Sinead

:07:15. > :07:16.

:07:16. > :07:26.rustle of Canada. This is great from Steph Proud. She gets the

:07:26. > :07:27.

:07:27. > :07:37.touch in 4th. I think she is out and Lizzie Simmonds is in with that.

:07:37. > :07:45.I think she did. Simmons is in 7th and Steph prowled is a night. Not

:07:45. > :07:51.in, she is out. Lizzie Simmonds talked about thinking that it was

:07:51. > :07:56.not enough, she was not going to make it. Missy Franklin, a good

:07:56. > :08:00.swim but Elizabeth Beisel did a faster time in the first semi.

:08:00. > :08:10.Franklin dominating this particular final but apart from her, it was

:08:10. > :08:31.

:08:31. > :08:41.second semi-final has been won by Mrs Franklin. The double champion

:08:41. > :08:43.

:08:43. > :08:50.from the last two Olympic Games did you break your leg or

:08:50. > :08:55.something? I dislocated my knee cap at the end of March and then I got

:08:55. > :09:03.pneumonia in May. Guy I am really happy with that and making finals,

:09:03. > :09:07.I am pretty excited. It would be so lovely seeing you defend a title.

:09:07. > :09:13.am still going to try my best. I think it will be a lot harder than

:09:13. > :09:16.I wanted it to be. Life throws challenges that he and it is my 4th

:09:16. > :09:21.Olympics so I am enjoying being here and swimming with these

:09:21. > :09:26.awesome ladies. You are an amazing athlete, it is tough when they are

:09:26. > :09:34.11 years older. Yes, I think they recover a little quicker than I did

:09:34. > :09:38.but it is still really good! They it may bring Steph in. It was

:09:38. > :09:43.almost either you or Lizzie to get into the final spot. It is great

:09:43. > :09:47.that you are here. This is your chance to be in a home Olympics.

:09:47. > :09:54.Yes, I have just got to put everything into perspective. It is

:09:54. > :10:00.so hard. 4th is probably worst. least I can come back tomorrow and

:10:00. > :10:09.cheer on everybody. Thank you to talk to us and I am really glad to

:10:10. > :10:19.Oh, poor Stephane proud, that is awful. Unless somebody pulls out,

:10:20. > :10:23.

:10:23. > :10:28.she will not make it into I would not mind seeing the

:10:28. > :10:33.qualifiers for the 200m breaststroke final. Kirsty Coventry,

:10:33. > :10:37.one of the rare things she does is go to the opening ceremony which is

:10:37. > :10:42.very rare for swimmers and she carried the flag for Zimbabwe here.

:10:42. > :10:46.What we saw here, none of the swimmers from the British team went.

:10:46. > :10:54.On the first couple of days they generally say do not go. Sometimes

:10:54. > :11:00.it is sensible. Kirsty Coventry in 2008 carried the flag round. I

:11:00. > :11:04.remember I carried the flag. I said, what are you doing here, at the

:11:04. > :11:09.Games begin tomorrow and she said the games do not begin until I walk.

:11:09. > :11:19.She loves the Olympic Games. Don't rule Kirsty commentary out of a

:11:19. > :11:22.

:11:22. > :11:32.medal. Elizabeth Beisel will be fastest but Paul Stephanie Proud

:11:32. > :11:53.

:11:53. > :12:03.start. The white hat of Brazil, the defending champion going well.

:12:03. > :12:26.

:12:26. > :12:36.Colin James, the 6 ft 5 giant of an freestyle. George Bovell of

:12:36. > :12:58.

:12:58. > :13:02.Trinidad, a giant 6 ft 5, fastest 58 swimmers started out in that and

:13:02. > :13:12.it has the broadest range of countries represented as well. It

:13:12. > :13:15.

:13:15. > :13:23.was your event, Mark, can you pick a winner? It is a blanket. Carwyn

:13:23. > :13:28.Jones, it is one of those events where the stroke, event and finish.

:13:28. > :13:33.That was about the speed and Ryan log to is about recovery. There he

:13:34. > :13:38.is in the diving pool gently warming down. -- and Ryan Lochte.

:13:38. > :13:45.He will be back shortly for the final of the men's 200m individual

:13:45. > :13:50.medley. A lovely shot. We have not seen that, seeing somebody do extra

:13:50. > :13:54.laps to get the recovery. Ryan Lochte is doing it in the diving

:13:54. > :13:58.pool. Absolutely. We will be back here later.

:13:58. > :14:04.Thank you. I have canoe slalom heroes with us, Etienne Stott and

:14:04. > :14:10.Tim Baillie, many congratulations, a brilliant performance. Can you

:14:10. > :14:16.believe it has happened? No. Saying it is unbelievable a hundred times

:14:16. > :14:24.will not do it justice. It is just a dream. What can you say? Tim,

:14:24. > :14:29.describe your emotions to us? totally surreal, really. I'm just

:14:29. > :14:34.basking in the glow a little bit. It is really nice. It has not

:14:34. > :14:41.really sunk in yet. It is Britain's first ever gold medal in canoeing,

:14:41. > :14:48.you are proudly showing them off, quite right, too. You were not even

:14:48. > :14:53.be fancied pairing because the other guys qualified fastest, David

:14:53. > :14:59.Florence and Richard Hounslow. You went first because you wear the

:14:59. > :15:03.slowest qualifiers? Yes, we had not had the best run in the semi-final

:15:03. > :15:07.but we managed to get in and spent time looking at the video to see

:15:07. > :15:14.where we wanted to improve our time and we just got out there and had a

:15:14. > :15:20.go at it. It is an incredible event, isn't it? When you are going

:15:20. > :15:23.upstream, it looks incredibly tough. This, the upstream gates are in the

:15:23. > :15:28.slack water so some people feel you are paddling against the water, you

:15:28. > :15:38.actually trying to paddle with the water. You are harnessing the power

:15:38. > :15:41.

:15:41. > :15:46.of the river at all points and it Is it a contrast in workload from

:15:46. > :15:51.the front and the back? You get a different view from the front, but

:15:51. > :15:57.from the back you get more control, say you have to do the same thing

:15:57. > :16:00.at the same time. Are you shouting at each other at that stage? A we

:16:00. > :16:05.don't communicate in the run. The reason we trained together is so we

:16:05. > :16:10.have the same way of looking at everything. We plan very carefully

:16:10. > :16:16.before we start, and once we are going we haven't got the spare air

:16:16. > :16:20.to be talking. If we have a big mistake, then we might say

:16:20. > :16:25.something to switch to the other plan, but normally it is just all

:16:25. > :16:29.guns blazing. And they're all sorts of people watching. Great crowds

:16:29. > :16:33.there as well. Could you hear them as you were going? Yes, he was

:16:33. > :16:39.amazing. Whenever there was a British boat on the Starline you

:16:39. > :16:44.could hear it from miles away. -- the start line. Lots of support

:16:44. > :16:49.from people, friends and family, and it was great so many people

:16:49. > :16:54.were there to share it. It is an achievement for the sport as a

:16:54. > :16:58.whole. So, you set the time at the start, going first, and you must

:16:58. > :17:03.have felt you had done well. Then you sit back and have to watch the

:17:03. > :17:08.other five teams going. I know it is not very sporting, but you must

:17:08. > :17:12.hope they make some mistakes. People say that, and there is a

:17:12. > :17:16.part of the that does that, but the way we set the race up was to go

:17:16. > :17:19.out and give it our best. To absolutely hit the run as hard as

:17:19. > :17:24.we could. In the end the run started to look as though it was

:17:24. > :17:29.the 6th best, then the 5th, then the 4th and by the end it was the

:17:29. > :17:36.best, and how did that happen? We were really very happy to be in

:17:36. > :17:44.that place and raced so hard. of messages of support and

:17:44. > :17:52.congratulations. David Florence They were the last team to go, and

:17:52. > :17:56.it must be slightly mixed emotions for all four of you. I think so. We

:17:56. > :18:00.would prefer to win, but the chance of us getting first and second was

:18:00. > :18:03.amazing, and we had done our best, and if they did better than they

:18:03. > :18:07.deserved to win and it would have been fair enough and we would have

:18:07. > :18:13.been happy with the silver. When we made it to the final, we thought we

:18:13. > :18:17.would be at least six, and we just kept ticking our way up. Because it

:18:17. > :18:24.is not a head to head, as such, the rivalries is more like a

:18:24. > :18:29.camaraderie because it is every one against the course. You also be the

:18:29. > :18:34.twins who have been invincible in this Olympic event. 4th they are

:18:34. > :18:42.the model crew. We watched them all the time, they are the reference

:18:42. > :18:48.point of our sport. It was a great shot they were going for to get

:18:48. > :18:51.another title, but somehow we managed to get in the way. You said

:18:51. > :18:55.your greatest achievement was being Bedfordshire Sports personality of

:18:55. > :19:00.the year it before now, and I think you might have matched it. It is

:19:00. > :19:04.one of the achievements I put on my CV! It is a crazy things we have

:19:04. > :19:08.done today. It is a massive thing for our sport and for ourselves,

:19:08. > :19:14.and hopefully we have helped Great Britain out a little bit. One of

:19:14. > :19:20.you said that you came out as the same guys going into the event, but

:19:20. > :19:23.a few hours after, are you? For a exactly. The things I do for the

:19:23. > :19:27.next couple of days are a bit different, but the stuff we are

:19:27. > :19:32.looking forward to doing, and getting into over the next few

:19:32. > :19:35.weeks is the same. With your gold medals are sure you'll be a

:19:35. > :19:41.contender for the team award for Sports personality of the year.

:19:41. > :19:50.Thanks for coming. Brilliant stuff. Back to Clare, Mark and Ian at the

:19:50. > :19:53.To congratulate shins to the guys, but we were discussing the quick

:19:53. > :19:55.turnaround for the guys. Ryan Lochte got straight into the diving

:19:56. > :19:59.Lochte got straight into the diving pool because he is in the final of

:19:59. > :20:03.this and so is James Goddard of Great Britain, he will be the first

:20:03. > :20:10.to walk out in a second or two, trying to win his first medal at a

:20:10. > :20:16.world or Olympic event. A huge noise for James. And he is really

:20:16. > :20:20.enjoying this. 29 years old now. A Commonwealth Games double gold

:20:20. > :20:26.medallist in Delhi. You are making fun of his rucksack. I just thought

:20:26. > :20:33.it looked like he was going to school! He finished 4th in the 2004

:20:33. > :20:37.Olympic Games and six in 2008 and it would be amazing if he could win

:20:37. > :20:47.a medal in this race because it is packed full of superstars. And you

:20:47. > :20:57.

:20:57. > :21:01.dinner with last night. He now has 19 Olympic medals to his name, 15

:21:01. > :21:05.of them gold and he is trying to win this 200 metres individual

:21:05. > :21:10.medley for the third time in a row. Ryan Lochte coming out still wet,

:21:10. > :21:14.you can see it through his T-shirt, because he has had not time to dry

:21:14. > :21:23.off. What was your quickest turnaround between finals? Eight

:21:23. > :21:27.minutes. He has had nearly 28. is saying he has had it easy.

:21:28. > :21:32.not say that at all. But have you got enough time to get your head

:21:32. > :21:41.right? It is telling yourself to calm down but you have to be up for

:21:41. > :21:46.the final. This guy could be a danger, Tiago Ferreira. -- Thiago

:21:46. > :21:51.Pereira. The field is stacked. I would say that these guys are going

:21:51. > :21:55.in fresh and I might give it to Lochte, with the disappointment of

:21:55. > :22:00.the 200 backstroke, Michael Phelps will have been sat there thinking

:22:00. > :22:08.they are rested and ready. If they are going to get in, they will get

:22:08. > :22:13.him now. This guy, Markus Deibler get Sir -- Markus Deibler gets a

:22:13. > :22:16.place in the final. One qualifier decided to focus on the 200

:22:16. > :22:23.butterfly, which could be bad news for Michael Phelps because he has

:22:23. > :22:28.already beaten him in the 100 butterfly. Now he is taking him on.

:22:28. > :22:32.But can Michael Phelps win this for his third Olympic Games in a row?

:22:32. > :22:42.Can Ryan Lochte get a goal? Can James Goddard get a medal? All

:22:42. > :22:46.

:22:46. > :22:49.questions that will be answered in absolute shocker on his 400 medley.

:22:50. > :22:56.He raced Michael Phelps and they went a bit too slow. Phelps just

:22:56. > :23:03.made the finals and Laszlo jaded not. He should be an angry man here.

:23:03. > :23:08.-- Laszlo Cseh 8 did not. This is his last chance. He is in No. 5. He

:23:08. > :23:18.could be dangerous. Lochte Int four, the double defending champion,

:23:18. > :23:24.

:23:24. > :23:28.metres individual medley and a good start from Michael Phelps. Tactics

:23:28. > :23:33.will be interesting because Phelps has the fastest flight but after

:23:33. > :23:38.that it is interesting. Lochte has the best backed strike. Goddard are

:23:38. > :23:42.doing quite well on the fly. And usually he has a blue cap rather

:23:42. > :23:46.than the red ones the British have been wearing. I think he is a

:23:46. > :23:53.Manchester City fan. Lochte needs to make a move on the back straight.

:23:53. > :23:58.There has been a lot of analysis of the splits from the coaches and

:23:58. > :24:04.Lochte looking to make a move, but he is not. Phelps is very, very

:24:04. > :24:10.determined here. Look at that. Big, strong arm course. Gone are not out

:24:10. > :24:17.of it but Lochte the best breaststroke a -- Goddard not out

:24:17. > :24:23.of it. Michael Phelps has worked his legs massively hard. First on

:24:23. > :24:28.the turn, then second was Thiago Pereira. But if Lochte is going to

:24:28. > :24:33.get this he has to go now. He needs to make a big move. Goddard right

:24:33. > :24:38.at the top and he is in 4th or 5th. The rest of the field in the centre

:24:38. > :24:44.coming back at Phelps. But look at Phelps go. If I cannot see him

:24:44. > :24:49.losing this. Phelps is really, really determined. Just off world

:24:49. > :24:55.record pace. Lochte had a good. I wonder if he has enough energy.

:24:55. > :25:01.Surely he will go for the gold. Phelps has to hang on. Lochte looks

:25:01. > :25:04.like he's coming back. He is right on the world record. This is an

:25:04. > :25:10.awesome final. Michael Phelps may get it back, but Lochte are not

:25:10. > :25:15.giving up. He is coming back, but I think it will be Phelps. It is

:25:15. > :25:23.Lochte's world record, and it still is, but gold to Phelps. Finally he

:25:23. > :25:29.wins gold. Three in a row. Well, we spent a long time talking about it,

:25:29. > :25:34.but the great Michael Phelps has just won his 20th Olympic medal.

:25:34. > :25:43.And finally he has won it, and individual gold medal, and look at

:25:43. > :25:49.his face. The relief after he won Finally he has won an individual

:25:49. > :25:56.one, three titles in a row. Athens, gold, Beijing, gold, and the way he

:25:56. > :26:01.attacked the he did not want to give it up. He said after his last

:26:01. > :26:04.leg in the McFly, once he had broken through most of the medals

:26:04. > :26:08.ever it was like the weight of the world was off his shoulders and

:26:08. > :26:14.this was the race he desperately wanted to win. He looks like he

:26:14. > :26:21.committed everything he had got. That is a big gold medal for

:26:21. > :26:25.Michael Phelps, showing the class that he has. Committed, determined.

:26:25. > :26:35.He is not finished there, but he is now. To get three gold medals like

:26:35. > :26:42.

:26:42. > :26:47.this, and other historical landmark. individual gold at London 2012.

:26:47. > :26:57.it is goals to Michael Phelps in very nearly world record pace. --

:26:57. > :27:01.

:27:01. > :27:08.If I am so pleased. He is utterly James, you had to go for that, boom

:27:08. > :27:13.or bust? Yes, I did have to go for it. I paid for it down the back 100

:27:14. > :27:19.metres. A fantastic experience and to be at this Olympic Games is a

:27:19. > :27:23.treat. Not the most perfect of preparations. A bit of a tough year

:27:23. > :27:27.with the training and all sorts of situations at home. But this is

:27:27. > :27:37.hopefully not the end of you, James. You been around a long time. I just

:27:37. > :27:38.

:27:38. > :27:42.need to go back and evaluate. not know it Eike -- how I have not

:27:42. > :27:48.gone as quick. I have been training great, but I just don't know why.

:27:48. > :27:52.Do you wish you had Swanage differently? A no, I had to go for

:27:52. > :27:58.it. It was kind of the only way. I spoke to my coach and we said,

:27:58. > :28:07.let's just go for it, and that is what I did. EV will always be proud

:28:07. > :28:13.A shame for Goddard. We may see him at the Commonwealth Games in

:28:13. > :28:18.Glasgow. Reaction from you, Ian, to Michael Phelps winning his 16th

:28:18. > :28:24.gold medal and his 20th in total. It is extraordinary. The first man

:28:24. > :28:27.in the world to be able to defend his Olympic title twice, so the

:28:27. > :28:33.three consecutive Olympic golds in this event for Michael Phelps.

:28:33. > :28:39.Bravo. The first one to defend a title was Rebecca Sony, but to do

:28:40. > :28:45.it twice is an incredible achievement -- Rebecca Soni. I am

:28:45. > :28:49.glad that he has swam well and it is now that Michael Fox can relax a

:28:49. > :28:53.bit. And this is the last time we will see Michael Phelps swimming

:28:53. > :29:01.competitively. He was heaving at the end. He had put everything his

:29:01. > :29:05.body had been to the race and it paid off. With every race, his

:29:05. > :29:13.favourite event, he didn't win it. And coming into this, if Lochte had

:29:13. > :29:18.been fresh, who knows? The answer is Phelps, and he still has his

:29:18. > :29:23.semi-final to come and there will be more from the guys. If you would

:29:23. > :29:28.like to watch basketball on BBC Three, the British men are in

:29:28. > :29:38.action, playing Spain. And for or Dr Who fans, you will be looking

:29:38. > :29:50.

:29:50. > :30:00.So how much trouble are we in? You've got me. What are you waiting

:30:00. > :30:13.

:30:13. > :30:18.We are very cross with you! Masters, the Daleks, all the people

:30:18. > :30:28.died because of my mercy. This is what happens when you travel alone

:30:28. > :30:56.

:30:56. > :31:06.for too long. Don't be scared. Who killed all of the Daleks?

:31:06. > :31:12.

:31:12. > :31:17.Let go back in time. In judo it had been a disappointing week for Team

:31:17. > :31:22.GB with no one progressing beyond the quarter-finals until today. The

:31:22. > :31:26.pressure was on for Gemma Gibbons, 25-year-old local London and

:31:26. > :31:32.girlfriend of Euan Burton who was so disappointed after his defeat

:31:32. > :31:42.yesterday. Could Gemma deliver a second judo medal since her coach

:31:42. > :31:54.

:31:54. > :32:01.Kate Howey 12 years ago? She won a smashed the Portuguese to the floor

:32:01. > :32:06.with an ippon. And she has brought the ExCel centre alive. All she has

:32:06. > :32:13.ever wanted to be is an Olympian. She never dreamt she would mark her

:32:13. > :32:18.debut with an ippon against one of the better players in the world.

:32:18. > :32:26.Gemma Gibbons. The mountain has just got a bit steeper. The

:32:26. > :32:35.Mongolian mountain might be a tougher one to Crest. She has

:32:35. > :32:43.turned it. And German Gibbons is ahead with the yuko. She has done

:32:43. > :32:53.it -- Gemma Gibbons. She has only gone and booked a place in the

:32:53. > :32:59.

:32:59. > :33:03.semi-final. She is nearly there. mum is her biggest inspiration. She

:33:03. > :33:13.died eight years ago. Some way she is watching her daughter fight at

:33:13. > :33:24.

:33:24. > :33:30.the London Olympics. -- somewhere. year bridge has been bridged in

:33:30. > :33:39.glorious fashion. The tears of an Olympic finalist. Gemma Gibbons

:33:39. > :33:49.will win a medal. The Olympic final. The American Kayla Harrison, the

:33:49. > :33:51.

:33:51. > :34:01.Londoner Gemma Gibbons. She has just notched up the first point.

:34:01. > :34:08.She has a split second to attack. Another yuko scored. The American

:34:08. > :34:14.is now a leading by two yukos. Gemma Gibbons has got to do

:34:14. > :34:20.something now. And it is not going to be gold. That will go to the USA.

:34:20. > :34:24.For the first time in the history of their women's judo team.

:34:24. > :34:34.still hasn't sunk in. It feels a bit like a dream but amazing at the

:34:34. > :34:39.And here she is. You were ranked 42 in the world, you were injured for

:34:39. > :34:42.six months, you could not have dreamt of doing that. Kate Howey is

:34:42. > :34:45.alongside you. Were you surprised by your achievements? They

:34:45. > :34:48.obviously thought I could do something which is why I carried on

:34:48. > :34:53.training full-time but I am pretty surprised at how well I have done

:34:53. > :34:57.today. I was hoping obviously to win a couple of matches and get in

:34:57. > :35:02.the top seven but I have exceeded all my own expectations today.

:35:02. > :35:07.crowd really got behind you, the atmosphere seemed amazing, even on

:35:07. > :35:11.television. Yes, the crowd were phenomenal, each and every fight

:35:11. > :35:15.they got behind me and kept me going. There were some pretty tough

:35:15. > :35:19.fights out there and hearing them in the background spurred me on.

:35:19. > :35:28.Kate, you were the last woman to win a medal 12 years ago, are you

:35:28. > :35:32.proud? Unbelievably proud. I wanted to get help when -- help people win

:35:32. > :35:37.Olympic medals. To sit here 12 years on with somebody who I have

:35:37. > :35:42.been with since they were 16 or 17 years old is phenomenal. It is such

:35:42. > :35:47.an immense emotion. That is why I started to cry. Is it nerve-

:35:47. > :35:53.racking? Yes, terrible. I said, at least when you worry fighter, you

:35:53. > :35:59.were in control. When you're on the side watching, I want to jump out

:35:59. > :36:01.and help but full credit to Gemma. Absolutely fantastic. There are a

:36:01. > :36:07.couple of special messages and tweets which are coming through all

:36:07. > :36:13.the time. Lots of goodwill messages. This was early on. Some great

:36:13. > :36:18.moments, this was the only round. You turned things around. Yes, I

:36:19. > :36:23.managed with the support of the crowd to turn a contest which

:36:23. > :36:29.wasn't going my way around. when you won that semi-final, you

:36:29. > :36:33.looked up to the sky, was that a message to your mum? I said, I love

:36:33. > :36:38.you, mum. She did everything tell me succeed in judo and I do not

:36:38. > :36:43.good chance to say thank you so that was mine away. An amazing

:36:44. > :36:51.emotion. You did yourself proud and everybody proud. A thanks. When you

:36:51. > :36:56.were in there and you have got to the final, it is such a massive

:36:56. > :37:01.advantage because they can hang on, you were desperately trying to get

:37:01. > :37:04.another ippon like you had got in the semi-finals. I gave it

:37:04. > :37:09.everything and unfortunately it was not enough this time. I tried my

:37:09. > :37:12.best and a good day all round. you look at the screen you will see

:37:12. > :37:17.lots of different messages going through from athletes at the

:37:17. > :37:22.Olympics. Zoe Smith, the weightlifter says you are

:37:22. > :37:26.incredible. I was sat in the BBC room, there were 100 people

:37:26. > :37:30.absolutely glued to the TV and cheering the one. There was no

:37:30. > :37:35.bigger cheer than when you got the ippon in the semi-final, it was a

:37:35. > :37:40.magical moment. We were all on our feet for a throw in judo. Who would

:37:40. > :37:45.have thought?! That is the thing. Judo is not a big sport in Britain

:37:45. > :37:53.and I hope this metal today can change that. That message is from

:37:53. > :37:56.your boyfriend. He says, I am so proud of my girl. You were watching

:37:56. > :38:02.him in the first round. He broke down in the interview after he lost

:38:02. > :38:08.because he was so upset. Yes, obviously really hard for him. It

:38:08. > :38:14.is probably one of his last Olympic Games and he is one of the best

:38:14. > :38:19.people out there. Going out and not realising his dream, it was really

:38:19. > :38:25.disappointing for him and everyone who loves him. That was pretty hard.

:38:25. > :38:30.It is brutal, Sport. Four years is the big moment and it can turn,

:38:30. > :38:33.especially in judo, one little flip and it is all over. One minute you

:38:33. > :38:37.can be in the lead and then something has happened under a flat

:38:37. > :38:42.on your back and you have lost it. Sometimes it can be four years of

:38:42. > :38:46.work for ten seconds on a judo mat. What does this mean for British

:38:46. > :38:51.judo? I think for the next generation that is coming through,

:38:51. > :38:58.it is a massive boost for British judo. There has been a 12 year wait

:38:58. > :39:02.for a metal so to get the youngsters in and for an idle to be

:39:02. > :39:07.looked at, just to get everybody engrossed in it. She has done the

:39:07. > :39:12.job. The whole thing has lifted the mood, the team is starting to win

:39:12. > :39:17.medals, is that noticeable within the village? I have not been there

:39:17. > :39:21.at all today. I have not been back. When GB got their first gold, I

:39:21. > :39:25.think the mood did lift a little and everyone thinks, we can do this

:39:25. > :39:28.now and everyone is getting behind each other. You are a London girl

:39:28. > :39:35.so an Olympics in your home town and a silver medal does not get

:39:35. > :39:39.much better? Only one better and it is pretty fantastic. It was totally

:39:39. > :39:44.impressive and you did your country proud, you really did. Well done.

:39:44. > :39:49.Thank you. We can go back to the swimming. Fran Halsall is coming up.

:39:49. > :39:53.We can join Clare Balding, Ian and Mark.

:39:53. > :40:03.Lots of people are asking what is the temperature of the swimming

:40:03. > :40:06.

:40:06. > :40:09.pool and is it heated? 25.7 to 26 degrees. They have a swimming --

:40:09. > :40:13.they have the public pool warmer because people swim slower so they

:40:14. > :40:23.have that at 30 degrees. If you were a public swimmer, you would

:40:23. > :40:27.think that Paul was cold. -- that swimming pool.

:40:27. > :40:33.The only unheated swimming is in the open-water swimming which will

:40:33. > :40:37.be next week. That will beat in the Serpentine. I would not be able to

:40:37. > :40:41.do that because I would not know where to go. We have seen Ryan

:40:41. > :40:48.Lochte twice, it did not pay off for him, only a bronze and silver

:40:48. > :40:52.where he expected to win two golds. Is that bad luck or bad planning?

:40:52. > :40:56.What we do not know is how strong the races will be. Ryan Lochte

:40:57. > :40:59.would have thought he could come into this, recover from the semi-

:40:59. > :41:04.finals and do all of these things and have good shots that all of

:41:04. > :41:10.these races. It may have been a mistake. Having hindsight on your

:41:10. > :41:14.side, to be spread across so many races. But it also could be the

:41:14. > :41:20.fact that he knew Michael Phelps was the main one, he might have

:41:20. > :41:25.concentrated more on the medley than his backstroke. Lochte's loss

:41:25. > :41:30.was Tyler Clary's game. He has just picked up his metal. And also

:41:30. > :41:33.Michael Phelps' game. He keeps extending his record-breaking

:41:33. > :41:39.achievements. He has gone far beyond what anyone has done before

:41:39. > :41:43.and what anyone is likely to do again. It has been phenomenal

:41:43. > :41:51.watching Michael Phelps at his last Olympic Games. We move on to the

:41:51. > :41:55.100m freestyle. We have the 6 ft 1 metre tall Missy Franklin. She has

:41:55. > :42:05.a wingspan bigger than her height. Is your wingspan bigger than your

:42:05. > :42:11.height? I have arms, not wings! You-know-what I mean. She is only

:42:11. > :42:16.17, she has been lovely through these games. It may be taking its

:42:16. > :42:24.toll. The smile when she walks out but it drops quite quickly. A

:42:24. > :42:31.little bit different when we first saw her. Ranomi Kromowidjojo has a

:42:31. > :42:36.good chance for the Netherlands. This is the event in which Dawn

:42:36. > :42:46.Fraser won back to back medals in 1956, 1960 and 1964, one of the

:42:46. > :42:51.

:42:51. > :42:56.After Yi Tang you will see Fran Halsall who says her disadvantage

:42:56. > :43:01.in this is she is very slight. There is not a lot of her. She is

:43:01. > :43:06.no where near the others in height. But she is pretty laid back and

:43:06. > :43:14.pretty cool and she will enjoy this. The beauty of Fran is she loves the

:43:14. > :43:22.crowd, she loves the noise. She is a showgirl. She is crab-like across

:43:22. > :43:32.the surface of the water. Are it is at skimming a rock across the pond.

:43:32. > :43:42.

:43:42. > :43:50.But very fast turnover. She is very three for the USA. They are the

:43:50. > :43:57.fastest women in the world. Ranomi Kromowidjojo has recovered from

:43:58. > :44:07.viral meningitis. Fran Halsall has looked very good. Used the crowd,

:44:08. > :44:10.

:44:10. > :44:13.Fran, use the crowd. The medals could come from either side. Fran

:44:13. > :44:19.and just occur in 7 and 8 are strong. It is one of those final

:44:19. > :44:29.switch is too tough to call. She could get a medal. She will need

:44:29. > :44:38.

:44:39. > :44:48.middle by Ranomi Kromowidjojo. But also very quick, Jeanette Ottesen

:44:48. > :44:58.Gray from Denmark. It is a good position for Halsall. She needs to

:44:58. > :45:09.

:45:09. > :45:13.but she is in a decent place at the moment. She could win this. The

:45:13. > :45:23.fastest woman in the world is Ranomi Kromowidjojo from the

:45:23. > :45:35.

:45:35. > :45:42.Netherlands in the centre. Come on, Adrian. I didn't know she could get

:45:42. > :45:49.through it. At 75 metres she had put herself in a great position,

:45:49. > :45:56.but Kromowidjojo still too strong. A very strong girl. He the two

:45:56. > :46:01.world champions we saw at the top of the race, they took out the race.

:46:01. > :46:06.Kromowidjojo coming out of the Turn second, breathing over to the left,

:46:06. > :46:16.but she would have known where they were. A good, straight arm. Taking

:46:16. > :46:17.

:46:17. > :46:22.the extra stroke. The favourite takes the gold. At the top of your

:46:22. > :46:32.picture, Kromowidjojo. That was bizarre. She got there and stopped

:46:32. > :46:32.

:46:32. > :46:37.and just touched them. Well, that is what it means. The Olympic

:46:37. > :46:47.champion, Ranomi Kromowidjojo. Herasimenia in silver. Yi Tang in

:46:47. > :46:48.

:46:48. > :46:56.bronze. And in 6th, Fran Halsall. great silver in a lane one for

:46:56. > :47:01.Herasimenia. She used to speed, she has great speed. Kromowidjojo and

:47:01. > :47:11.coping with the pressure. A pretty partisan crowd. But she managed to

:47:11. > :47:12.

:47:12. > :47:19.I know you gave that everything you have got, and it is also close.

:47:19. > :47:24.Like you say, just didn't have it today. One of those things, isn't

:47:24. > :47:30.it? Can't change it now, but I gave it my best shot. That's all I can

:47:30. > :47:35.do. Quite a lot of races at the Olympics that don't go to form.

:47:35. > :47:40.Look at the guys racing, Lochte and Phelps, just racing. It is just

:47:40. > :47:45.racing. I knew I needed to put in a good race tonight and the time just

:47:45. > :47:52.was not there. Not really much more right can say. Police I still have

:47:52. > :48:00.the 50 metres to come. -- at least I still have the 50 metres to come.

:48:00. > :48:04.For you go and get your swim down, Paul Fran Halsall. Anything you

:48:04. > :48:11.could say to her that would make her feel better? She sounds so

:48:11. > :48:16.broken. It is devastating. World silver medallist last year, and

:48:16. > :48:21.that was not fast. 53.0 was not that tough, but she knows she could

:48:21. > :48:25.have come away with a medal at 53.3 and it shows how disappointing it

:48:25. > :48:32.is. It is one of those things. You have to get it right at the right

:48:32. > :48:39.time. Michael Jamieson is the only swimmer who has set a new personal

:48:39. > :48:44.before as a member of Team GB. We will be back in the Paul it later,

:48:44. > :48:49.but that was the first non-American gold medal, so the Dutch have a

:48:49. > :48:52.chance to celebrate -- back in the swimming pool. The athletics *

:48:52. > :49:02.tomorrow and every Olympic Games tends to have one athlete above all

:49:02. > :49:07.of us who becomes the focus of the host nation's hoax. -- hopes.

:49:07. > :49:11.the opportunity of a lifetime. To compete at a home Olympics should

:49:11. > :49:16.be an experience to enjoy, to treasure. Book for just a handful

:49:16. > :49:21.of athletes the honour has been accompanied by an indescribable

:49:21. > :49:26.burden, because they are the face of the Games. This phenomenon is

:49:26. > :49:31.about timing and a talent burning at its brightest, fuelled by craft

:49:31. > :49:36.and dedication. The embers of expectations stoked by the public

:49:36. > :49:40.hopes and dreams become a roaring inferno fed by the media consumed

:49:40. > :49:49.worldwide. Everywhere you look, every way you turn, you will see

:49:49. > :49:55.the face of the Games. The first Olympian subjected to such scrutiny

:49:55. > :50:02.was Carl Lewis in Los Angeles in 1984. Equalling Jesse Owens's four

:50:02. > :50:06.gold medals and a games catapult at him to a sporting great. -- at

:50:06. > :50:11.eight games catapulted him to a sporting great. At Atlanta, he was

:50:12. > :50:17.me. Could I be the first man to win both the 204 hundred at an

:50:17. > :50:21.Olympics? People predict, they assume, of course he will do it --

:50:21. > :50:27.the 204 hundred metres. But those guys at the start line are not

:50:27. > :50:32.making up the numbers. No one else is going to run it for you. People

:50:32. > :50:36.talk about getting into the zone, tunnel vision. You are out of that

:50:36. > :50:44.finish line, crystal-clear, surroundings irrelevant. The crowd

:50:44. > :50:52.may scream and sheer, but we hear nothing but the Bank of the gun. --

:50:52. > :50:55.the band of the gun. In Sydney 12 years ago, Cathy Freeman was

:50:55. > :50:58.representing the past, present and future. Lighting the flame in the

:50:58. > :51:05.opening ceremony was an ordeal in itself. It took guts to step away

:51:05. > :51:10.from those vital preparations just days before the competition started.

:51:10. > :51:16.It required an appreciation of the bigger picture, of what hosting the

:51:16. > :51:23.Olympics meant for the nation. Right now I want to go home and

:51:23. > :51:33.have a cry, to be honest. In the face of the Games does not

:51:33. > :51:34.

:51:34. > :51:40.guarantee triumph. Four years ago in Beijing the greatest withdrew

:51:40. > :51:44.after aggravating an old injury. is almost in tears. Why see even

:51:44. > :51:50.fit to compete? You cannot underestimate the pressure that

:51:50. > :51:59.comes with 1 billion fans urging you to race for them. So who is the

:51:59. > :52:03.face of London 2012? Step forward Jessica Ennis. Hopes of home gold

:52:03. > :52:10.are higher than we have ever known. It is a lot to take. The pressure

:52:10. > :52:15.cooker of expectation. Her talent is burning bright, fuelled by hard

:52:15. > :52:19.graft and dedication. The embers of expectation, stoked by the British

:52:19. > :52:26.public's hopes and dreams, have become a roaring inferno fanned by

:52:26. > :52:34.the media consumed world wide. This quiet girl from Sheffield has it

:52:34. > :52:44.all, except one thing. Her dream, her nation's dream, home and

:52:44. > :52:49.

:52:49. > :52:54.This is where it all unfold over the next week or so. The nation's

:52:54. > :52:58.expectations or on the shoulders of a young girl. Someone who knows

:52:58. > :53:02.what that pressure is like is Denise Lewis, who won this event,

:53:02. > :53:08.Jessica Ennis's event 12 years ago. You know exactly what it takes,

:53:08. > :53:13.Denise. Has she got what it takes? I know what it takes to win and

:53:13. > :53:19.Jessica absolutely has that. But can she cope with the pressure? I

:53:19. > :53:27.think she can. I really do. I think she brings a unique quality to the

:53:27. > :53:31.event. She is calm, she has focused, she is driven and I think one of

:53:31. > :53:37.the prerequisites for a great games is a healthy body, and she has that

:53:37. > :53:43.as well. I hope she wasn't watching it because it put goose bumps down

:53:43. > :53:46.the back of my neck, but that might be Michael Johnson's voice. But the

:53:46. > :53:52.expectancy is large and the nation is willing her to do well, and

:53:52. > :53:57.sometimes that can be a hard thing to handle. As I said, Jessica has a

:53:57. > :54:01.great team around her. She is very focused, driven and has been away

:54:01. > :54:07.preparing in Portugal, so she has removed herself from this pressure

:54:07. > :54:13.cooker. She is back now, she flew in yesterday. Judging from the

:54:13. > :54:17.people I have spoken to they said she seems really relaxed. And I

:54:18. > :54:23.think that in itself says a lot about her. She missed Beijing and

:54:23. > :54:27.that hurt her badly, so she knows what it means, to be at the Olympic

:54:27. > :54:31.Games and be in with a shot of delivering her best performance. I

:54:32. > :54:37.feel confident, based on what I've seen. She has been in good form.

:54:37. > :54:41.She broke your record, quite recently. She broke the British

:54:41. > :54:47.record in May and what pleased me about that record was that the

:54:47. > :54:51.events that caused her the most problems like the javelin, which

:54:51. > :54:57.was a tricky event for her, which cost her the gold medal last year

:54:57. > :55:02.in Daegu, she got a personal best. The long jumper can be inconsistent

:55:02. > :55:07.but she got a personal best as well, 6.51, which puts their right up

:55:07. > :55:12.there. Her second day was always a bit dodgy, but now she is in with a

:55:12. > :55:22.shot. She will certainly have the nation's support and we wish her

:55:22. > :55:26.

:55:26. > :55:29.well. She starts tomorrow morning Olympics here in London to the

:55:29. > :55:34.undoubted international face of these games and the games before

:55:34. > :55:42.and the one before, Michael Phelps, collecting his gold medal for the

:55:42. > :55:47.His body was heaving after that. He gave everything, and this is the

:55:47. > :55:51.16th time he has stood on a podium with a gold medal around his neck

:55:51. > :55:55.and heard the American national anthem played in his honour. At the

:55:55. > :56:01.Aquatics Centre here in London are on their feet to salute the

:56:01. > :56:07.greatest Olympian ever, 20 medals in all, 16 of them gold, and he

:56:08. > :56:14.still looks as though he cannot quite believe it. 27 years old, his

:56:14. > :56:24.final ever competition. And the final attempts he has to extend his

:56:24. > :56:24.

:56:24. > :57:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:57:27. > :57:32.And the question every swimmer, every Olympian, will ask themselves,

:57:32. > :57:37.is how does he do that? Ian Thorpe, you know him well. You can

:57:37. > :57:41.appreciate the achievement more than anyone. How does he do it?

:57:41. > :57:45.is not an easy question. It's a really difficult question and I

:57:45. > :57:49.cannot wrap it up. He simply does it by being better than everyone

:57:49. > :57:55.else. If anyone knows how to back up from a race, it is Michael

:57:55. > :57:59.Phelps. He knew what Lochte was coming up against him, but he

:57:59. > :58:07.wanted this from the first day. In the shorter events, he will be

:58:07. > :58:13.stronger and he's on form. I would love to back him on his humour in

:58:13. > :58:16.the press conference, and also his generosity, and also showing Chad

:58:16. > :58:23.le Clos round, and seeing his historical understanding of what

:58:23. > :58:28.he's doing. You saw the human side. With Chad le Clos you saw the human

:58:28. > :58:32.side of Michael Phelps. When he won eight everybody saw the amazing man,

:58:32. > :58:38.but like a robot, the then you saw that human side. That touched

:58:38. > :58:42.everybody. I think Michael has prepared in this games to show

:58:42. > :58:49.another side of himself. He may have felt it was some sort of four

:58:49. > :58:54.before this competition and it was the sort of facade coming up, but

:58:54. > :58:58.it was a different Michael Phelps. He could have made his programme

:58:58. > :59:03.easier and he has taken out one event, but he is about to come and

:59:03. > :59:09.swim the semi-final of the 100 metre butterfly. The fact you have

:59:09. > :59:15.said it, it is his last race. Does he appreciate it more question

:59:15. > :59:19.whereas in Beijing he knew he was going to London. The last hundred

:59:19. > :59:23.metres ever, he has ticked the box. He never has the opportunity to do

:59:23. > :59:31.it again. It is pretty incredible to think about it that way. Knowing

:59:31. > :59:37.what he has coming up, he will be a enjoying this. You had dinner with

:59:37. > :59:40.his mother last night. Do they have any idea about what he might do in

:59:40. > :59:47.that life after swimming? A I do not know if I should be talking

:59:47. > :59:51.about dear old Mrs Phelps. Michael has a great family around him. They

:59:51. > :59:58.are great supporters, and I think his mother is his biggest supporter

:59:58. > :00:02.out of everyone. She is really his litmus test to see what it is for

:00:02. > :00:06.him. Michael has established a charity and then a number of

:00:06. > :00:09.different things, so he knows how to transition away from the sport.

:00:09. > :00:15.I do not know if the sport is ready to transition away from Michael

:00:15. > :00:25.Phelps. You have gone away from the sport and comeback, so could you

:00:25. > :00:30.see any thing? Would you give him If he asks for advice, you keep

:00:30. > :00:34.straining straight after this competition for about three months.

:00:34. > :00:38.Settle into what is going to be a normal exercise routine, rather

:00:38. > :00:42.than just stopping. Because your body goes through changes from

:00:42. > :00:47.being an elite athlete that has processing different things and

:00:47. > :00:52.knowing its adrenalin, all of these things, and it changes into a more

:00:52. > :00:55.normal body. It is important to get some training in at that stage as

:00:55. > :01:00.that trade -- us that change goes through. It is good for your mind

:01:00. > :01:06.to think about the next phase. feel watching Phelps that he is

:01:06. > :01:09.still a child. I mean it in a complementary way. He is 27, but he

:01:09. > :01:14.stands there and you can see the teenager in her. He looks like a

:01:14. > :01:20.boy. There is an element of that. Any athlete, when you come to

:01:20. > :01:23.retire, it is like you are too old to do it any more. Is he a young

:01:23. > :01:27.because he is in a sport and childlike in that sport? When you

:01:27. > :01:32.come out of the sport, you go into the real world. What will he do

:01:32. > :01:36.next? Who knows, it is a new chapter. We see the 15-year-old, I

:01:36. > :01:46.think it was come from the Sydney Games. That is why we see him as a

:01:46. > :01:47.

:01:47. > :01:53.child. When he is up there, he we have witnessed this, the great

:01:53. > :01:57.American swimmer. He delivered more than we expected. What is that

:01:57. > :02:04.child Magnus, the competitive person in you. You want to keep

:02:04. > :02:10.going, having fun. He is about to walk out, now, and he has the big

:02:10. > :02:16.ear defenders on. He is covering his face because you said he was a

:02:16. > :02:26.child! Do you know what music he listens to? He is into classical

:02:26. > :02:30.

:02:30. > :02:33.music. It isn't, it is hip hop! Imagine, it is really funny. Adrian

:02:33. > :02:38.Moorhouse and ended -- and Andy Jameson have been enjoying that

:02:38. > :02:44.action. You wonder what Phelps can do now. He has to qualify and he

:02:44. > :02:48.probably will. I think you are right, he just has

:02:48. > :02:56.to qualify and I think he probably will. He is utterly stunning. He

:02:56. > :02:59.has gone 49.84 or 100m Butterfly and that would have made hour

:02:59. > :03:04.freestyle metre dash relay team. It would have beaten one of the guys

:03:04. > :03:09.in the freestyle relay here. It is incredible. He has a job to do.

:03:09. > :03:14.This might be one of the slower off the semi-finals. That is that a

:03:14. > :03:18.record set in Rome. He has a job to do. He cannot be sluggish down the

:03:18. > :03:23.first 50 metres. They will leave him behind. It is not 200 metres.

:03:23. > :03:27.There are not four lengths to make it through the field. If you

:03:27. > :03:35.remember how he has won his heat. Last after the first legs? Last

:03:35. > :03:45.after 50 metres and first after 100 metres. Extraordinary. Sirnak in

:03:45. > :03:45.

:03:45. > :03:49.five -- Czerniak in five. 20 medals at the Olympics. You would not bet

:03:49. > :03:56.him past getting another one in this and in the medley relay, so we

:03:56. > :03:59.are may be looking at 22 medals for him. A very good start in three.

:03:59. > :04:05.Phelps is going quicker than the first 50 metres but he did in the

:04:05. > :04:10.heat. That is good for 50 metres. Set a personal best time in the

:04:10. > :04:16.heats to qualify for these semi- finals. He is on form, turning

:04:16. > :04:21.first by half a second. Starke, his compatriot, in lane eight. This is

:04:21. > :04:26.strong, really good. Phelps is not messing around at all. He knows he

:04:26. > :04:30.is going to sleep tonight. He is going to give it everything.

:04:30. > :04:40.looks like he is working very hard indeed. It is fascinating. He went

:04:40. > :04:41.

:04:41. > :04:45.for it at the turn. 50.86. That is fast. The first guy to hit 50 and

:04:45. > :04:50.that is pretty impressive, pretty impressive from Michael Phelps, to

:04:50. > :04:55.win the first semi-final of the men's 100m fly. He is shaking his

:04:55. > :05:04.head a little bit, that will do. See you later. That is outstanding!

:05:04. > :05:10.Off the back of that 200m medley. Crikey. Impressive. Tonight, he

:05:10. > :05:18.swam like the old Michael Phelps, he has committed himself. He let

:05:18. > :05:28.Deibler take it out. I think he got a shock when he looked hundred saw

:05:28. > :05:31.

:05:31. > :05:39.Deibler way ahead. I know, but Phelps dug in.

:05:39. > :05:46.Michael Phelps wins the first semi- You have had a pretty good night,

:05:46. > :05:49.haven't you? Tired. I bet you are. You can come here with a number of

:05:49. > :05:58.things you wanted to achieve, but one of them you did tonight, the

:05:58. > :06:03.triple? That was called. I knew that beating Ryan would be tough

:06:03. > :06:12.and coming of the 200 metres back, it is a hard double. I wanted to

:06:12. > :06:15.try to force it as much as I could. It is a gold medal. Pretty pleased.

:06:16. > :06:22.Someone special menu, yesterday, didn't they? Yes, the President

:06:22. > :06:26.called me yesterday. It was pretty cool. Somebody called and asked for

:06:26. > :06:35.me and they said, hold, please, for the President of the United States.

:06:35. > :06:38.I was like, OK! It was kind of cool. He said everyone is supporting me

:06:38. > :06:48.and everyone at home was rooting for me, so that was very special.

:06:48. > :06:55.He wanted me to say hi to his -- to my mum. And he tweeted you? Yes,

:06:55. > :06:58.Brian and I have been treating. It has been fun. -- tweeting.

:06:58. > :07:03.That is one of the reasons we persuaded you to join Twitter so

:07:03. > :07:09.you can get tweets from cool people. He gets the call from a Obama and

:07:09. > :07:13.it is Hull, please. He had to hold, I don't understand? Was Obama was

:07:13. > :07:23.put on hold for Michael Phelps. they understand it. The big

:07:23. > :07:36.

:07:36. > :07:43.question is in this race, could we the BBC, because's dad. His son.

:07:43. > :07:48.Chad, 20, he will want to book down a marker in this. He could be the

:07:48. > :07:55.nuclear -- the new kid on the block. You would expect this semi-final,

:07:55. > :08:01.would you not, to be between Cavic and Le Clos. It will be between

:08:02. > :08:05.those. Cavic goes out fast on the first length. The beauty of this,

:08:05. > :08:09.when you walk out for final, when you stand behind the blog can see

:08:09. > :08:16.you would read -- your world record on the screen at the end and

:08:16. > :08:20.everyone knows you have done it, it gives you confident. It is when

:08:20. > :08:23.they announced, that is the big deal. And world record-holder,

:08:23. > :08:29.defending Olympic champion. Michael Phelps has that a lot of the time.

:08:29. > :08:34.The last race of the night is the second men's 100-metre butterfly.

:08:34. > :08:42.Here is the green hat off chad a class of South Africa, the gold

:08:42. > :08:51.medallist of the 200 metres flight -- Le Clos. What a fantastic

:08:51. > :08:58.swimmer that was. Dunford is closest to us, the Commonwealth

:08:58. > :09:07.champion on 50m life. Cavic, in third, he touched the wall but did

:09:07. > :09:16.not stop the clock and Dodds got it. -- Phelps got it. The Green Hat in

:09:17. > :09:25.the centre is chad Le Clos of South Africa and the pink suit is Cavic

:09:25. > :09:35.off Sobir. A similar thing happened in the heats. Cavic is on world

:09:35. > :09:44.

:09:45. > :09:49.will come through. He is out, just outside world record pace. I am not

:09:49. > :09:53.sure he has done enough to come back quick enough. Cavic has some

:09:53. > :10:01.work to do if he is going to make the final. The rest of the field

:10:01. > :10:06.will come back at him. Le Clos gets it. He gets a touch and wins the

:10:06. > :10:13.second semi-final. Second, McGill, third, Cavic. That was mightily

:10:13. > :10:17.close. It was close, slower than the first semi-final. Le Clos is a

:10:17. > :10:23.great 200 metres champion but he is going to have to work harder and I

:10:23. > :10:28.am not sure he has enough sprint in it. I don't think swimming like

:10:28. > :10:34.that will get him to beat Michael Phelps in the 100 metres. Cavic

:10:34. > :10:39.went out for it and did not hold on, so he is struggling. It is a bit

:10:39. > :10:45.like Liam Tancock, a brilliant 50 metres, but can't hold on at the

:10:45. > :10:53.end. The rest of the field just eating away, eating up the water,

:10:53. > :10:59.who ring him in. Cavic, or the finish, look at that. Actually make

:10:59. > :11:06.-- lane six, McGill, went in first. Le Clos takes an extra stroke and

:11:06. > :11:14.gets the race. Good swimmers. You would just just road so that when

:11:14. > :11:24.your hands come, it is possible to do -- you adjust your stroke. Le

:11:24. > :11:30.Clos is happy and wins the second semi-final of the men's 100m five.

:11:30. > :11:37.-- butterflies. The first three are through to the semi-final. It looks

:11:37. > :11:44.like Michael Phelps will go in half You are slimmer than you were four

:11:44. > :11:49.years ago. Slimmer? Yes, slimmer. don't know, maybe it is possible.

:11:49. > :11:54.Without the suits we needed to make some changes. I will never be as

:11:54. > :12:00.good looking as this guy, for example, but everybody has got

:12:05. > :12:10.back. You had a bad back injury. Is it sorted out? I have to deal with

:12:10. > :12:14.it every single day of my life. I have to do call work every day to

:12:14. > :12:19.keep it going. I am lucky to be here. This is something that has

:12:19. > :12:23.never been done before. Literally never been done before. Hopefully,

:12:23. > :12:27.if I achieve a medal tomorrow, I will be the first guide to win an

:12:27. > :12:32.Olympic medal after such an operation. -- the first person to

:12:32. > :12:37.win an Olympic medal. I feel like I have had a second chance, here I am.

:12:37. > :12:43.That will be good for me, the end of my career after 19 years. It has

:12:43. > :12:48.been a good run. A hell of a career. Have you grown your fingernails?

:12:48. > :12:53.am going to let them go until tomorrow but just to be here, it

:12:53. > :12:57.has not been done before and I am happy to be here. We keep talking

:12:57. > :13:01.about a rematch against Phelps but it seems like he is out of my

:13:01. > :13:06.league and I am just hoping for any medal. It does not matter, any

:13:06. > :13:11.medal will be good enough. Good luck to you. Thank you.

:13:11. > :13:16.Cavic, good fun to hear from him but he will be up against it was Le

:13:16. > :13:19.Clos as well. He really was. Did you saw Le Clos, the same thing in

:13:19. > :13:24.the two would have metres butterfly. He looked to the side and head down

:13:24. > :13:30.the middle. Looked to you, looked to you, thank you to you both.

:13:30. > :13:34.Another stunning night in the pool. Phelps was unbelievable, taking the

:14:01. > :14:06.great for team beat a cheat -- Great but Team GB. Be as excited as

:14:06. > :14:11.you like. You should see what happened earlier. He tried to knock

:14:11. > :14:16.him off. A divided, I did not mean to. He has he read he is going to

:14:16. > :14:20.help. He will help Rebecca to defend her title. We will bring it

:14:20. > :14:25.to you like. Cent you for your insights and humour. We are having

:14:25. > :14:30.a ball. We hope we will be back for more a bit tomorrow night.

:14:30. > :14:33.Having a ball everywhere. What a phenomenal athlete, Michael Phelps.

:14:33. > :14:37.Isn't he something else? It has been a busy night so a couple of

:14:37. > :14:42.changes to our schedule. The women's gymnastics will be on BBC

:14:42. > :14:47.Two at 10pm. Before then, boxing with Josh Taylor in action. First,

:14:47. > :14:57.another of Britain's great hopes for the Games, Mo Farah. His first

:14:57. > :14:57.

:14:57. > :15:03.finalists the 10,000 metres on His mission, should he choose to

:15:03. > :15:09.excepted, is to complete the five and 10 golden double. In an age of

:15:09. > :15:14.African domination he has seen what seemed improbable probable. Be

:15:14. > :15:18.under no illusion about the enormity of his mission. African

:15:18. > :15:23.nations have swept the medals in the last five Olympics over 10,000

:15:23. > :15:30.metres, taking gold in the last six. Over 5,000 metres, the African

:15:30. > :15:37.countries have swept the medals table and the last four games. The

:15:37. > :15:44.training came with the assignment, know the enemy, follow their ways.

:15:45. > :15:50.We know this guy's a world record holder. But if he can do it, why

:15:50. > :15:54.can't I do it? Reaching such a realisation, finding that the lead,

:15:54. > :16:03.was used in the making. It began with the 2006 failure against a

:16:04. > :16:07.European. Mo Farah or just run out of it, takes the silver. Just to

:16:07. > :16:11.get the goal snatched off you're the last moment is hard to take,

:16:11. > :16:16.but to give you a determination to train hard and get ready for next

:16:16. > :16:23.year. The next harsh life election in the mission came at the Beijing

:16:23. > :16:28.Olympics. He was not the easiest time in my life. As an athlete, you

:16:28. > :16:34.know you can do better but you just didn't. It is hard to deal with

:16:34. > :16:37.yourself, let alone what everyone else thinks. Something you work so

:16:37. > :16:44.hard for, or you didn't do it. I learnt a lot from it and came back

:16:44. > :16:50.stronger. Mo Farah takes the gold for Great Britain for the first

:16:50. > :16:55.Lessons learned, it clicked at the European Championships with a

:16:55. > :17:02.double gold. Look at this from Mo Farah, he's destroying them. We

:17:02. > :17:07.witnessed the wide-eyed wonder. country fell for his charm, honesty,

:17:07. > :17:13.and that smile. Did you dream of these kind of moments? All more

:17:13. > :17:16.dreaming of being at home playing Arsenal? For I dreamt of that a lot

:17:16. > :17:19.playing football as a youngster but you learn to make decisions and

:17:19. > :17:23.know what you are capable of. Football was just not my thing.

:17:23. > :17:27.Even though I thought I was the best that football I didn't have

:17:28. > :17:33.enough to back it up. Behind the winning smile, he knew it was not

:17:33. > :17:38.mission accomplished. So here routed his family to live in the

:17:38. > :17:43.user -- the United States. -- he uprooted his family. You want to

:17:43. > :17:48.hit over a hundred miles per week, so you are stiff, you ache, but

:17:48. > :17:52.what drives me in the morning is thinking about the positions and

:17:52. > :17:57.training twice as hard. If I am going to have any chance of beating

:17:57. > :18:01.them, I must train. The impact was seismic at the World Championships

:18:01. > :18:05.in South Korea. He was on a double mission there as well and was

:18:05. > :18:11.chased down in the 10,000 metres but rebounded superbly for gold in

:18:11. > :18:15.the 5,000 metres. It gave me good confident. I was disappointed in

:18:15. > :18:21.the 10,000, but I had to take that to the 5,000 and get ready. I

:18:21. > :18:26.wanted to win more than anybody else. It is gold this time for Mo

:18:26. > :18:31.Farah! This time he got it right. This time he found the strength to

:18:31. > :18:36.hold on. What a performance. just shows if you really focus and

:18:36. > :18:43.work for it, you can do it. With that attitude ditties Olympic

:18:43. > :18:46.Commission accepted. Mo Farah is quite something, and here is Steve

:18:46. > :18:50.Cram with us. He is a wonderful athlete. What do you think his

:18:50. > :18:55.chances are? He has a great chance that the 10,000. I think that is

:18:55. > :18:59.his best chance. I think he has a good chance in bows, but the 10th,

:18:59. > :19:07.the straight final, that is the race he should have won last year

:19:07. > :19:11.and did it the other way round. The Ethiopian who beat him is not there,

:19:11. > :19:17.but the Kenyan is there to try and win his third 10,000 metre title.

:19:17. > :19:22.But it is a different one to the one who won in 2008, but he is the

:19:22. > :19:26.boss man. Even the Kenyans and Ethiopians look to him. If the race

:19:26. > :19:32.goes in the wake in which Olympic finals and World Championship

:19:32. > :19:36.finals have gone recently, he can win. The only issue is whether or

:19:36. > :19:43.not the Kenyans and Ethiopians kind of get together and decide to make

:19:43. > :19:48.it hard for him at the beginning. Like we saw in the cycling. We know

:19:48. > :19:52.he can handle the pressure, we saw him in a Cube, and he beat that,

:19:52. > :19:59.but this is really something to handle. Finding out if athletes can

:19:59. > :20:03.cope in front of the home crowd. has been waiting for this. Jessica

:20:03. > :20:08.Eneas is the face of the Games, and I think those two, people in the

:20:08. > :20:12.team have looked up to them -- Jessica Eneas. He has been around

:20:12. > :20:17.the team for a long time. It is his moment. He is more than ready for

:20:17. > :20:24.this. He has been quietly training away, coming in pretty late into

:20:24. > :20:27.this. He is not staying in the village and staying near by. His

:20:27. > :20:32.preparations have been quiet but absolutely nailed on, which is why

:20:32. > :20:37.I think you will do well. This place will come alive on Saturday.

:20:37. > :20:42.My research tells me it is 90 now wait since a British man won a

:20:42. > :20:52.longer distance gold, it was a vegetarian Jonas -- 90 now wait

:20:52. > :20:53.

:20:53. > :20:57.since a British man won. -- 1908. The stadium looks a real picture.

:20:57. > :21:03.They have cleared it inside. We now know that all of that amazing

:21:03. > :21:08.opening ceremony equipment is gone. It is looking great. I was in there

:21:08. > :21:12.today, Denise and I was saying how jealous we are. When you walk out

:21:12. > :21:16.there you will have nearly 80,000 people there and it will be such an

:21:16. > :21:20.uplifting experience. It is a great venue and we will see some

:21:20. > :21:26.fantastic athletics. Yes, Usain Bolt will be the big star there,

:21:26. > :21:31.but I think Great Britain are going to have a fantastic game. There has

:21:31. > :21:36.been a target of eight medals. Is that realistic? We did brilliantly

:21:36. > :21:42.in Beijing, but not necessarily in athletics. We did have Christine as

:21:42. > :21:47.an individual this time. You have GS, Mo Farah, Dai Greene may be

:21:47. > :21:53.Phillips, we are not sure, and then behind them you have other

:21:53. > :21:59.experience athletes like Christine Aldama, and the new kids on the

:21:59. > :22:03.blocks, Greg Rutherford in the long jump, lots of people in the top two

:22:03. > :22:08.or three or four, and those on medal chances, not even talking

:22:08. > :22:13.about the relays. I think Charles can say eight medals can say is

:22:13. > :22:19.realistic. A we will leave it on that confident note. We have boxing

:22:19. > :22:29.now, and a tough challenge for Josh Taylor. He faced Valentino, a

:22:29. > :22:33.

:22:33. > :22:37.bronze medallist from the world three-minute rounds in the

:22:37. > :22:41.lightweight division between the man representing Italy, wearing red,

:22:41. > :22:46.Domenico Valentino, competing in his third Olympics as Josh Taylor

:22:46. > :22:52.gets through with a left hand to the body. His opponent, wearing

:22:52. > :22:57.blue, representing Great Britain. Josh Taylor, competing in his

:22:57. > :23:07.second contest in the 2012 Olympic Games. He boxed superbly well to

:23:07. > :23:16.

:23:16. > :23:21.It is the first contest the No. 3 seed Valentino has fought. Josh is

:23:21. > :23:25.up against it tonight, but there is nothing he cannot handle here.

:23:25. > :23:33.Scotland have produced some great light weights at the Olympic Games.

:23:33. > :23:38.The last one was charlie Kane in my Olympics in 1988, and in 1984 there

:23:38. > :23:43.was Alex Dickson, and the great Dick MacTaggart to one gold in 1956

:23:44. > :23:52.in Albert and then got a bronze in Rome four years later. A trout --

:23:52. > :24:02.crowd tradition for Olympic boxers -- a proud tradition. Josh Taylor

:24:02. > :24:08.

:24:08. > :24:14.entered the contest with Dick Terry Spinks doubling up with

:24:14. > :24:21.MacTaggart to take Olympic gold as well. He repeated that return to

:24:21. > :24:26.the podium in 60 in Rome. And then in Tokyo in 1964, a three-time

:24:26. > :24:30.Olympian, no hardware that time, but terrific representation for the

:24:30. > :24:36.man who stayed amateur throughout his terrific career. He endorses

:24:36. > :24:40.Josh Taylor and Sears -- says he sees traces of himself. Valentino

:24:40. > :24:44.with a hard left to the body and the combination to the head. That

:24:44. > :24:49.is high praise, and huge encouragement for Taylor, who has

:24:49. > :24:54.been studying a library of Dick MacTaggart contests in an effort to

:24:54. > :24:59.reach the same lofty heights as the legendary Scotsman. Taylor not

:24:59. > :25:04.doing too bad. That was OK. He is not lunging in, which is good.

:25:04. > :25:09.Valentino was sitting back a bit. He is doing this because if he

:25:09. > :25:14.leads and falls short, Taylor will come back, as a southpaw and catch

:25:14. > :25:19.him on the counter. Valentino can switch to orthodox, but his best

:25:19. > :25:27.position is as a southpaw. He sits back well. He has to draw the man

:25:27. > :25:35.on to him, but the Italian is cagey. Very experienced, he disability,

:25:35. > :25:39.allied with that experience as well. -- keeps of ability. As we approach

:25:39. > :25:43.the Bell, a competitive round in the light-welterweight division. It

:25:43. > :25:53.is really, -- it is really close. But Taylor finds himself trailing

:25:53. > :26:00.

:26:00. > :26:07.by just one. It is 4-3 in favour of Meet him as he comes. Two straight

:26:07. > :26:14.shots. Good coaching, or telling to hit him as he comes. Punch down the

:26:14. > :26:20.middle. He will also have to lead off in terms of a faint to draw his

:26:20. > :26:23.opponent on to him. Josh Taylor going forward with the jab. What I

:26:23. > :26:30.would like to see him to his maybe Fein to the attack, draw in the

:26:30. > :26:40.Italian, and go back to the counter. He does not need to go on the front

:26:40. > :26:41.

:26:41. > :26:48.court -- front foot, he has to draw The bell sounds to begin the second

:26:48. > :26:53.round, in the round of 16 in the light weight division. Josh Taylor

:26:53. > :26:58.just been instructed to listen for instructions when the referee

:26:58. > :27:02.issues his instructions. They will be communicated by way of

:27:02. > :27:07.gesticulation. Taylor guilty of hitting after instruction on that

:27:07. > :27:12.occasion. But the boxers have settled back to the business and

:27:12. > :27:16.after 32nd. A little mistake from Valentino, but he got away with it.

:27:16. > :27:20.Taylor should have been quicker going back at him. If the Italian

:27:20. > :27:26.is going to come forward to have to meet him with a fast counter.

:27:26. > :27:31.Taylor just failing to hit the target. Taylor, Scotland's sole

:27:31. > :27:36.representative on his British boxing team, comprised of seven men

:27:36. > :27:41.and three women. They are chanting Taylor's name around the arena. And

:27:41. > :27:45.the man in red, Domenico Valentino, he knows what it is like to stand

:27:45. > :27:51.on top of the podium in front of your home town fans, because he won

:27:51. > :27:56.the World Championship in Milan in 2009 when marvelous Marvin handler

:27:56. > :28:03.was in attendance, and he boxed brilliantly after coming up with a

:28:03. > :28:09.silver medal losing to Frankie Gavin in 2007 when Gavin from

:28:09. > :28:12.Birmingham made history by becoming the first Englishman to win, indeed

:28:12. > :28:17.the first Briton to win a world amateur boxing title. What is

:28:17. > :28:23.really important for Taylor is the jab, the leading hand. He has to

:28:23. > :28:28.work with it and bring him on. If the Italian does not come forward,

:28:28. > :28:32.then beat him to the punch with a straight jab, nice and long range.

:28:32. > :28:38.Then adjust the feat when the Italian comes three. He has to

:28:38. > :28:48.bring him back to the shops. He can do it as long as he adjusts the FT

:28:48. > :28:56.-- bring him back to the shops. of the shots. Into the final minute.

:28:56. > :28:59.Valentino, a strong blow to the sternum. That left hook was a

:29:00. > :29:04.clumsy effort from Valentino. The referee is separating the two

:29:04. > :29:09.boxers before instructing them. Worth pointing out that Taylor

:29:09. > :29:13.secured his Olympic qualification by finishing in third place in the

:29:14. > :29:17.European qualification tournament in Turkey. It was just the top four

:29:17. > :29:22.making it through to the Olympics, where as Valentino secured it at

:29:22. > :29:27.the first time of asking. A low blow, but Taylor does not complain.

:29:27. > :29:33.Valentino made it at the first time of asking but lost to the eventual

:29:33. > :29:38.gold medallist in the semis. Taylor has to do better. He has two *

:29:38. > :29:42.leading off the right jab and bringing him on to the shops --

:29:42. > :29:45.start pleading not. The Italian will not feel that good. He will

:29:45. > :29:55.feel nervous and he is walking in recklessly and he should be

:29:55. > :29:56.

:29:56. > :30:02.It remains just the one point advantage. And even round of boxing,

:30:02. > :30:07.but it is still Valentino with his nose in front. The score is eight-

:30:07. > :30:12.seven in favour of the man from Italy. Taylor getting caught, but

:30:12. > :30:21.so much in the contest. Only a point in this. Only beaten to the

:30:22. > :30:28.punch, but you can see Valentina This is his first contest. He will

:30:28. > :30:33.feel a bit nervous. He is scoring well here. Josh Taylor could win

:30:33. > :30:43.this contest. He could beat the world number one here, it is there

:30:43. > :30:55.

:30:55. > :31:00.for the taking. Lee Pullan will be A rousing reception given to both

:31:00. > :31:10.boxers for the third and final three-minute round in the men's --

:31:10. > :31:11.

:31:11. > :31:16.in the men's 60 kg category. It is Josh Taylor, first as Domenico

:31:16. > :31:22.Valentino, the world champion from Milan, 2009. The crowd are

:31:22. > :31:27.beginning to encourage and inspire Josh Taylor. He was attacked with a

:31:27. > :31:32.sharp combination there. Valentino upped the tempo. He knows there is

:31:32. > :31:37.only a point in it. It is too close for comfort for the Italian. Josh

:31:37. > :31:42.Taylor, this is better, keeping it in range. Keeping the lid man on

:31:42. > :31:47.the back foot, good stuff. Josh Taylor has enjoyed success at this

:31:47. > :31:51.arena when he won the Olympic test event at the back end of last year.

:31:52. > :31:58.That was at 64 kg. Such was his dominant performance that his coach

:31:58. > :32:06.convinced him to drop down to 60. He scores with a good left hand. He

:32:06. > :32:10.took the qualification place available. It is important that

:32:10. > :32:15.Josh up the tempo because Valentino will feel the pace more than Josh

:32:16. > :32:20.Taylor. This is his first contest. What he has got to do now, Josh, he

:32:20. > :32:25.has to up the tempo, go through the gears. Believe you me, he could win

:32:25. > :32:30.the contest. An effective right hand from Valentino on that

:32:30. > :32:34.occasion. Look at that for a rapier-like jab from Valentino. A

:32:34. > :32:38.one-two combination got through. As we approach the second half, it

:32:38. > :32:44.brings about a good response from Taylor, who got through with a

:32:44. > :32:47.decent left cross. The Valentino is hanging on on the inside. He is

:32:47. > :32:51.counting down the clock. Clever tactics from the world number one

:32:51. > :32:56.there. Hugely experienced as he got through with a good right cross

:32:56. > :33:02.once again which followed a left jab, Valentino. He is using the

:33:02. > :33:10.ring effectively. Taylor is dominating the centre ring. It is

:33:10. > :33:16.an untidy tangle of the two boxers tumble to the canvas. We need a

:33:16. > :33:20.straight 1-2 down the middle. That is the order of the day. That was

:33:20. > :33:27.better. He has beaten his opponent to the punch there with a straight

:33:27. > :33:34.shot. Inside the final minute. These final seconds are going to be

:33:34. > :33:36.absolutely crucial for both boxers. Using off a experience acquired

:33:37. > :33:42.through so many international tournaments over the years, the

:33:42. > :33:48.final -- the five time Italian champion giving his experience. He

:33:48. > :33:53.senses he has in front. He was leading by one point by eight-seven

:33:53. > :33:58.and he was hanging on where possible just to use the tactics

:33:58. > :34:02.again. That his experience. Taylor will have to work hard. Come on,

:34:02. > :34:07.referee, you must break these boxers up. That is what he is doing,

:34:07. > :34:11.Valentino. He is ticking down the clock. The Italian is tired. Taylor

:34:11. > :34:16.is going to have to continue to press and use effective,

:34:16. > :34:21.intelligent aggression to land some significant scoring blows as the

:34:21. > :34:28.clock is counting down. He will have to box until the final bell.

:34:28. > :34:33.Valentino initiates another clinch in the closing seconds. So, the

:34:33. > :34:38.bell sounds to signal the end. Taylor feels he has done enough. He

:34:38. > :34:43.raises his fist in celebration, but Valentino does the same thing as he

:46:58. > :47:06.

:47:19. > :47:23.hard to block. Freeland for the three. He hits it! 68-63. He has

:50:06. > :50:11.through Archibald's hands. Spain ran at two players, so he had no
