:00:32. > :00:37.A welcome back, it has been another successful day for the British team,
:00:37. > :00:41.three medals won at the rolling, two gold medals and one silver
:00:41. > :00:44.medal, Britain have moved up to third on the medal table. They
:00:44. > :00:48.could be more to come at the Velodrome and later on in the
:00:48. > :00:52.Olympic Stadium. You can see thousands of people in the Olympic
:00:52. > :00:56.Park, and 80,000 lucky ticket holders will be inside the stadium
:00:56. > :01:00.to see Jessica Ennis win the gold medal. She is the overwhelming
:01:00. > :01:06.favourite tough to win it later on this evening. Also there Farah will
:01:06. > :01:13.be going for gold in the 10,000m. We will be heading back to the
:01:13. > :01:18.Velodrome in just a moment to see if the women's team pursuit can be
:01:18. > :01:24.won by 8 GB. Then it is athletics all the way and Dai Greene is in
:01:24. > :01:29.action, also the defending champion, Christine Ohuruogu will be going at
:01:29. > :01:33.8:05pm and maybe medals also in the men's long jump final with Chris
:01:34. > :01:38.Tomlinson and Greg Rutherford doing well. Then it is the heptathlon
:01:38. > :01:43.surely after 8:30pm and Jessica Ennis will be in the final of the
:01:43. > :01:49.three heat and Mo Farah at 9:15pm. So much to look forward to. A lot
:01:50. > :01:53.to enjoy right now over on BBC Three. At 7:30pm the men's football
:01:53. > :01:58.quarter-finals, Great Britain trying to get through to the semi-
:01:58. > :02:04.finals against South Korea. That will be live from the the 11th it.
:02:04. > :02:09.If this foul of the PC three at the moment that the mixed doubles semi-
:02:09. > :02:14.finals up live on BBC through. It is one set all. They did lead 3-1
:02:14. > :02:20.in the tie-break but it is one set all. Andy Murray and Laura Robson
:02:20. > :02:30.tried to go through to that all middle final tomorrow. -- gold-
:02:30. > :02:30.
:02:30. > :02:34.medal. Women's hockey, Great Britain a China. Lucy 2-0, they
:02:34. > :02:43.needed a point to guarantee a place in the semi-finals, not good news
:02:43. > :02:48.for Great Britain at the them. We are heading back to the Velodrome
:02:48. > :02:51.at 5:50pm it could be a gold medal for Britain.
:02:51. > :02:58.Welcome back from the Velodrome where the action is getting
:02:58. > :03:01.exciting in the omnium and later tonight the women's team pursuit.
:03:01. > :03:04.Neither the event unfolding here all the women's team pursuit
:03:04. > :03:07.actually happened in Beijing because since the last Olympic
:03:07. > :03:17.Games they have been huge changes to the Olympic cycling programme.
:03:17. > :03:23.
:03:23. > :03:26.event at three women's event. Cycling's governing body chose to
:03:26. > :03:30.give clarity to the men's and women's events such out have gone
:03:30. > :03:35.the individual pursuit, the points race, and income women's versions
:03:35. > :03:40.of the team sprint, team pursuit and the new event, the omnium.
:03:40. > :03:48.There is also no chance for so Kris Boyd to repeat his three goals as
:03:48. > :03:58.another new will to limit dominance was to limit it to one competitor -
:03:58. > :04:04.Cycling have just got 14 events, 42 events in the swimming pool, it
:04:04. > :04:08.seems a big disparity. That is the way it is. You think it
:04:08. > :04:18.is fair enough to bring clarity between the men and women, but cut
:04:18. > :04:24.prices back, it is not nice for the riders. I don't know why it is. It
:04:24. > :04:28.does seem unfair. You have circled on the track for
:04:28. > :04:31.years, and I guess it is a fair comparison to say the individual
:04:31. > :04:38.pursuit is light afforded metres in the athletics, you will not take
:04:38. > :04:42.that out of the Olympics but they took it out of the cycling.
:04:42. > :04:52.The pursuit is a Blue Riband event of the Velodrome, it is what
:04:52. > :04:53.
:04:53. > :05:00.everybody watches. It seems such a shame it has been taken out, and
:05:00. > :05:05.the omnium, the new race, it is to replace a bunch of good races to
:05:05. > :05:08.watch. I am sure the omnium is exciting
:05:08. > :05:18.but you're not too sure about having this in the Olympics.
:05:18. > :05:24.To be honest, when I grow up, it is what you write as a kid, -- or ride.
:05:24. > :05:33.You learn how to sprint, pursuit, racing in budgies, there is an
:05:33. > :05:38.elimination race. It is exciting, a great spectator sport.
:05:38. > :05:41.Imagine losing an Olympic medal on an elimination race. It will be
:05:41. > :05:47.exciting for the fans but the races we are seeing, would be nice to
:05:47. > :05:52.have a medal for each discipline. You get to see the best person
:05:52. > :06:00.overall in the Velodrome but the Olympics is about faster, Higher,
:06:00. > :06:06.stronger. You can probably hear from behind us, it is getting the
:06:06. > :06:11.crowd on their feet because there is a British competitor, Ed Clancy.
:06:11. > :06:14.Began watch it uninterrupted on the red button. The fact is, it is here,
:06:14. > :06:22.whether it is here to stay we will point out. It is in the Olympics
:06:22. > :06:32.and this is what it is all about. Individual riders will be going
:06:32. > :06:35.
:06:35. > :06:38.head-to-head in six different The writers must complete every
:06:38. > :06:44.event to continue in the competition. The lowest total after
:06:44. > :06:50.six events wins gold. In the flying lap riders are racing against the
:06:50. > :06:54.clock over 250 metres, the fastest time wins. The points race is an
:06:54. > :07:01.endurance event where they accumulate. By lapping the field.
:07:02. > :07:06.There are opportunities for further points in the sprints. The winner
:07:06. > :07:11.is the rider he gains the most points. In elimination after a mass
:07:11. > :07:16.start the last rider over the line is eliminated every two laps. The
:07:16. > :07:20.two final riders will battle it out in a sprint finish. Individual
:07:20. > :07:30.pursuit involves two riders on the track at one time, the men
:07:30. > :07:32.competing over 4,000m, the women over 3,000 metres. Dividers -- the
:07:33. > :07:40.writers start on opposite sides of the track and try to catch each
:07:40. > :07:44.other. In the scratch race date start in a mass ride. Men cover
:07:44. > :07:49.15,000 metres, and women 10,000m. The first to cross the line is the
:07:49. > :07:57.winner. The time trial is an individual race against the clock,
:07:57. > :08:04.and then cover one dozen metres and women 500m, the fastest time wins.
:08:04. > :08:10.If you are right to get involved in a Olympics sports go to the website.
:08:10. > :08:13.Years ago that is exactly what Mark Cavendish was doing. If this has
:08:13. > :08:16.inspired you go on to the website and perhaps you can go from
:08:16. > :08:20.competing in these kind of events to representing your country at the
:08:20. > :08:24.Olympics. So far today we are in the middle of the points raised, we
:08:24. > :08:30.had the flying lap earlier row, there are six events culminating
:08:30. > :08:37.with a time trial tomorrow. Ed Clancy is an endurance racer, and
:08:37. > :08:45.pulled this out in his flying lap. His body type, he is more of a
:08:45. > :08:50.sprinter. He is super-fast. He got a flying lap this morning, 12.5 in
:08:50. > :08:54.a flying lap. Sprinters do do that, he is half the second quicker than
:08:54. > :09:01.second place, incredible. If you take his boat for the last 200m he
:09:01. > :09:09.would have qualified in the top five. Their shows how fast he is.
:09:09. > :09:14.Remarkable for Foreman's. He didn't get to celebrate his gold medal.
:09:14. > :09:23.Geraint is going to join us from the team PCT. Ed Clancy celebrated
:09:23. > :09:27.by winning the first event. The aim in the omnium is to get to the end
:09:27. > :09:33.of the six events with the fewest points possible and as you can see
:09:33. > :09:38.Ed with just one point. Behind us the points race is unfolding. To
:09:38. > :09:41.the untrained eye it is incredibly confusing but all about winning
:09:41. > :09:50.sprints as the race unfolds. It is consistency. There is a sprint
:09:50. > :09:56.every 10 laps. It is the first four cross the line. They simply add up
:09:56. > :10:03.the points at the end of the race. It is not at the end of the 120
:10:03. > :10:08.laps the first rider, it is being consistent. There is a little rule
:10:08. > :10:16.that people might lap the field, in the olden days it didn't matter how
:10:16. > :10:20.many points you had, if you Laverty went into the lead, so you could be
:10:20. > :10:27.plus one lap without any points. But now they have changed that, you
:10:27. > :10:34.get 20 bonus points if you lap the field. 5, 3, 2 and 1, if you lap
:10:34. > :10:40.the field you get 20 bonus point. That is described by a nanny was
:10:40. > :10:44.the European champion, a Clancy is doing well. This is what we are
:10:44. > :10:53.expecting from him, use your endurance and printing. He has once
:10:53. > :10:58.breathe rents already -- he has won three sprints already. Where a does
:10:59. > :11:08.fail his endurance, it is about keeping it going. There are other
:11:09. > :11:17.
:11:17. > :11:22.sprint races to come in this omnium. That is the moment he crossed the
:11:22. > :11:29.line in front to pick up the points. Ed Clancy representing Great
:11:29. > :11:34.Britain in the Omnium. There are 22 laps to go and we can join Chris
:11:34. > :11:38.Boardman and Sue Porter. This is a great one to watch as it gets hot
:11:38. > :11:48.tip towards the end. It is one of the most exciting disciplines on
:11:48. > :11:56.
:11:56. > :12:06.the track. There are three more sprints to go. Bobby Lee of the USA
:12:06. > :12:09.
:12:09. > :12:19.comes up to the line. The race is being dominated by a group that
:12:19. > :12:30.
:12:30. > :12:38.gave the field a slip and gained a lap. You get a 20 point bonus. At
:12:38. > :12:46.the moment Ed Clancy is lying 10th. He has picked off three sprints
:12:46. > :12:53.quite cutely. If he finishes 10th in the end in this points raised,
:12:53. > :13:03.his tally will be 11, so it is not a bad start in the opening two
:13:03. > :13:06.
:13:06. > :13:16.events, in six events in all. Lee is also off the front. They are
:13:16. > :13:21.
:13:21. > :13:26.looking to get another lap. This is not a problem for Ed Clancy. What I
:13:26. > :13:35.can tell you and Creswell agree with me, it is a pretty hard Points
:13:35. > :13:42.Race. They have still got the elimination race to come. It is at
:13:42. > :13:47.very demanding discipline, the Omnium. The United States are
:13:48. > :13:53.starting to die. He has been out there for a long time on his own. I
:13:53. > :14:03.do not think he is going to bridge that gap, so he will not gain those
:14:03. > :14:11.
:14:11. > :14:20.That is their head of the race coming through over the line and it
:14:20. > :14:30.is still Bobby Lee. Bobby Lee has not figured in many springs. He is
:14:30. > :14:38.
:14:38. > :14:48.below Ed Clancy. But his legs are buckled. He is being overtaken.
:14:48. > :14:49.
:14:49. > :14:54.Clancy is now down into 11th place. The first two points have been
:14:55. > :15:04.claimed on the line. Archibald of New Zealand just about beating
:15:05. > :15:21.
:15:21. > :15:26.We have got one more sprint to go. These two are persisting, but they
:15:26. > :15:36.are starting to accelerate with the finish inside. Just eight laps
:15:36. > :15:52.
:15:52. > :16:02.Terror well of Spain is very Norman Hansen is also there. Ed
:16:02. > :16:02.
:16:02. > :16:11.Clancy vanishes five points in the concluding sprint. If he could get
:16:11. > :16:17.another five points, it would help him ease his way up. He has read
:16:17. > :16:23.that moved well. He is certainly the strongest sprinter in the group
:16:23. > :16:29.he is in now. Fired more laps to go and one sprint remaining. People
:16:29. > :16:37.find it hard to take on board that he cannot win the race, but it is
:16:37. > :16:47.where he is placed. The final sprint is almost certainly going to
:16:47. > :17:06.
:17:06. > :17:15.The Danish rider is very strong and very deceptive, Norman Hansen.
:17:15. > :17:19.Clancy needs to take a sprint. The final lap. It is Norman Hansen of
:17:19. > :17:24.Denmark who has ridden sensationally in this event. He is
:17:24. > :17:34.looking to nail five points and he did that. He is the leader of the
:17:34. > :17:44.
:17:44. > :17:49.We will have to go to countback to decide the overall positions. That
:17:49. > :17:57.has taken Ed Clancy's tally to 18, which will keep him in 11th
:17:57. > :18:07.position. His tally is now 12. We are going to count back now. I
:18:07. > :18:10.
:18:10. > :18:14.think he is still in the lead after two events. Although Norman Hansen
:18:14. > :18:22.with consistency is likely to be challenging as well. He has just
:18:22. > :18:30.won the points raised with 59 points. He was 4th in the time-
:18:30. > :18:40.trials. That makes his tally five. He has got to be the leader. We
:18:40. > :18:50.
:18:50. > :18:59.Unofficially Norman Hansen with a win in the points raised and a very
:18:59. > :19:04.good ride in the time-trial, his tally of points will go up to five.
:19:04. > :19:13.Unofficially it looks like Norman Hansen could have elevated himself
:19:13. > :19:23.into the lead in the competition. The German is the winner of the
:19:23. > :19:29.
:19:29. > :19:34.Points Race. It is all about the six events and sheer consistency.
:19:34. > :19:41.Two of the six completed and one of the least favourite for Ed Clancy.
:19:41. > :19:51.He is not so keen on the distance races. If it comes down to the
:19:51. > :20:18.
:20:18. > :20:28.single sprint, he has got a good It is looking like the young Dane,
:20:28. > :20:28.
:20:28. > :21:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
:21:10. > :21:18.the former world junior champion, Ed Clancy is 5th with 12 points
:21:18. > :21:23.after two events. Apologies for the incorrect graphics. He goes in the
:21:23. > :21:28.elimination race at 6:30pm and all this after winning gold in the team
:21:28. > :21:32.pursuit yesterday. He has to get back on the track and ride. You had
:21:32. > :21:38.a lovely night out last night to celebrate the gold medal. How are
:21:38. > :21:43.you feeling? It is still a bit surreal. It is something we have
:21:43. > :21:48.been building up for the last year and all we have been thinking about.
:21:48. > :21:54.To finally get here and do it is a great feeling. I do not know what
:21:54. > :21:58.to do now, apart from celebrate. Chat to ours and hang out in here.
:21:58. > :22:08.We can have a look back at the moment you crossed the line and the
:22:08. > :22:09.
:22:09. > :22:12.celebrations. An amazing atmosphere, how much did the crowd help? It was
:22:13. > :22:18.unbelievable and when you walked into the stadium, you could feel
:22:18. > :22:23.the buzz of the crowd. Vicky was racing before us and there was an
:22:23. > :22:28.incredible buzz. During the race I could not notice it too much, it
:22:28. > :22:32.was more in the background, we have to focus on what we had to do. It
:22:32. > :22:38.was incredible to cross the line with another world record and it
:22:38. > :22:43.was an unbelievable feeling. long did it take you to realise you
:22:43. > :22:49.picked up the world record? We kind of knew because we were going so
:22:50. > :22:55.fast and we had the coach on the line because he notes the pace. It
:22:55. > :23:03.was like Beijing. We went out and it flowed and it was so fast. I
:23:03. > :23:08.needed a bigger dear, I just could not keep up. You mentioned Beijing
:23:08. > :23:14.and this is your second gold medal in the team pursuit. It is a huge,
:23:14. > :23:18.big medal. How does it compare with the one in Beijing? Definitely the
:23:18. > :23:25.pressure and the expectation around cycling as a whole, it has taken
:23:26. > :23:30.off since Beijing with the likes of Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins.
:23:30. > :23:36.Cycling is so big these days and living up to that was the biggest
:23:36. > :23:40.challenge. To come here and deliver was great. We want full analysis
:23:40. > :23:47.and in-depth discussions about the celebrations last night. How were
:23:48. > :23:53.they? I do not remember much past 1 o'clock. I were Cup in the hotel
:23:53. > :23:57.with my girlfriend and I could not remember how I got there!
:23:57. > :24:02.cannot remember anything past 1 o'clock, but you will probably
:24:03. > :24:10.remember this moment. Was this you in a kebab shop in London last
:24:10. > :24:16.night feeling hungry? I cannot say more than that, can I? I did not
:24:16. > :24:24.take a bag out with me. Maybe you've found one. I hope it was you
:24:24. > :24:27.because you deserve to celebrate like that. What? With a kebab?
:24:27. > :24:31.After the Olympics in Beijing the whole world looked at British
:24:31. > :24:40.cycling and said, we need to take the fight to these guys and
:24:40. > :24:45.Australia are starting to do that. They have brought their form in.
:24:45. > :24:50.Last year the Australians won the World Championships, but this is
:24:50. > :24:59.about the Olympics. It is a four- year cycle and these guys have been
:24:59. > :25:02.working strongly together. Geraint has been working on that and
:25:02. > :25:08.finally putting bat to good use and changing back to speed on the track
:25:08. > :25:12.and you can see what they have done. And have you spoken to everybody
:25:12. > :25:17.back in Wales? They were here yesterday and it was nice and we
:25:17. > :25:21.were all out last night as well and it was good to celebrate with them.
:25:21. > :25:29.You know the photograph opportunity that awaits you when you get back
:25:29. > :25:34.to Cardiff? What is that? You will have your very own golden post box.
:25:34. > :25:40.I did not know that. That is it being painted especially for you.
:25:40. > :25:45.That is quite surreal, but it is nice. If ever there was a reason to
:25:45. > :25:51.post a letter, that is it. Will you stay with us, because we have got
:25:51. > :25:58.the women's pursuit? Of course. There have been fantastic.
:25:58. > :26:03.Unbelievable. They have been doing some good times. Paul Manning is
:26:03. > :26:08.their coach and he seems pretty relaxed and topping them up a bit
:26:08. > :26:14.and we can expect good things. have already seen a couple of world
:26:14. > :26:19.records from them. Do you think we will see another one? It is
:26:19. > :26:26.difficult with the two rides close to each other, but I would put some
:26:26. > :26:33.money on it. I am about to hand you back to suit. We want a photograph
:26:33. > :26:38.with that gold medal. We were had the team pursuit in a few minutes.
:26:38. > :26:42.Hopefully another gold medal. I can tell you there is some terrific
:26:43. > :26:47.news from Wimbledon because Andy Murray, he will be facing Roger
:26:47. > :26:57.Federer tomorrow for the gold medal, he will be in the mixed doubles
:26:57. > :26:59.
:26:59. > :27:09.final as well. Laura Robson serves at match point. It was a terrific
:27:09. > :27:11.
:27:11. > :27:18.rally to end on and Laura Robson They are pretty the final of the
:27:18. > :27:22.mixed doubles tomorrow. Gold or silver in the singles, her gold in
:27:22. > :27:26.the mixed doubles, what a performance, what seems at
:27:27. > :27:35.Wimbledon, such an enthusiastic crowd on Centre Court cheering
:27:35. > :27:41.another British victory. What a day to look forward to. That is
:27:41. > :27:51.tomorrow. Terrific news. If you want to watch on BBC Three you can
:27:51. > :27:51.
:27:51. > :27:58.watch the Badminton, the women's singles final. That is the singles
:27:58. > :28:02.final, live on BBC Three. Terrific news at Wimbledon. There may be a
:28:02. > :28:06.couple of gold medals for Andy Murray and Laura Robson tomorrow at
:28:06. > :28:10.Wimbledon but we are heading back to the Velodrome. Have you had your
:28:10. > :28:16.picture taken? I can confirm I have. We will
:28:16. > :28:22.hopefully increase the atmosphere in the Velodrome. The women's team
:28:22. > :28:25.pursuit, a brand new event to the Olympics, and tonight the world

:28:35. > :28:40.
:28:40. > :28:43.We are all from different backgrounds, it Laura has been
:28:43. > :28:48.cycling since the age of eight, myself, for the last six years
:28:48. > :28:58.professionally. There is just a real variation in backgrounds, age,
:28:58. > :28:59.
:28:59. > :29:06.life experience. We get on really well. It is more of a family vanity.
:29:06. > :29:12.Dani King is more of a sister to me. Lorette is just crazy, we are
:29:12. > :29:16.sharing a room together -- Laura. We have such a laugh, constant chat,
:29:16. > :29:24.never a moment of silence, having fun, absolutely great, she is
:29:24. > :29:31.fantastic. Laura is probably the loudest. Dani King is bubbly, if
:29:31. > :29:35.you are having a bad day she is the best person to have around. Joe is
:29:35. > :29:39.absolutely amazing, a bit shy compared to Laura. We get on so
:29:39. > :29:44.well, she is always there for support. The same with Wendy. She
:29:44. > :29:54.brings experience, nice to have that as well. We are all pretty
:29:54. > :29:55.
:29:55. > :30:05.There is a great psychological boost to be the his radiance on our
:30:05. > :30:06.
:30:06. > :30:10.home soil. Great Britain, a new world record. We rode it really
:30:10. > :30:16.well, that is how we got such a great time. I think the world
:30:16. > :30:21.record will be broken, it will have to be. I am so excited. My team-
:30:22. > :30:26.mates are so good, and as a unit we are going to do really well, it
:30:26. > :30:33.just remains to be seen how well. We have got so much trust in each
:30:33. > :30:39.other it just works. We all have to perform at our best on the day and
:30:39. > :30:46.if we went, hats off to us, but if somebody else beats us, has off to
:30:46. > :30:50.them, congratulations. -- hats off. We're just minutes away from seeing
:30:50. > :30:56.Great Britain against the USA in the women's to pursue final, 24
:30:56. > :31:03.hours ago Geraint Thomas was out there. Jo Rowsell is making sure
:31:03. > :31:09.she is physically ready for this as well as mentally. You are pretty
:31:09. > :31:14.much thinking about the race, thinking about each turn, you
:31:14. > :31:17.breaking down in two stages, each turn you think about delivering it
:31:17. > :31:22.well and worry about your own job and heads the league the other
:31:22. > :31:26.girls do theirs. This there anything left to be discussed?
:31:26. > :31:31.don't think so, all the hard work, the training, has been done.
:31:31. > :31:41.Everybody knows how to ride it, it is just a matter of staying focused
:31:41. > :31:41.
:31:41. > :31:45.and delivering. The techniques, the tactics, you think the coach is
:31:45. > :31:49.saying every lap is one-tenth of a second every lap feedback so you
:31:50. > :31:59.have to know it down to a tenth of a second how you will ride the 16
:31:59. > :32:04.laps, or in the case of the women, 12 laps. We can see them gearing up
:32:04. > :32:07.for this. It is worth mentioning Wendy, she was a silver medallists
:32:07. > :32:11.in Beijing. Such is the ferocious power of these three she doesn't
:32:11. > :32:17.get a look-in. It is similar to Andy Tennant as far as the men's
:32:17. > :32:22.team pursuit team, very much part of the team, and imported Kohl but
:32:22. > :32:30.they don't get the chance to ride when it matters. It was unfortunate
:32:30. > :32:36.that he missed out but that is the way it goes. He was a key member,
:32:36. > :32:43.for morale, the training sessions. When I was a bit ill last week I
:32:43. > :32:50.set out and he stepped in and did a great job. It is definitely a whole
:32:50. > :32:54.squad of people, not just those racing on the track. Four years ago
:32:54. > :32:57.in Beijing there wasn't even this event, when they brought this team
:32:57. > :33:06.together and they started training and working towards Olympic glory,
:33:06. > :33:14.how involved were you? With women? Did they can see for support and
:33:14. > :33:19.advice -- do they come to you? talked to us quite a bit, but they
:33:19. > :33:23.have got one of the best coaches, he only won four years ago, still
:33:23. > :33:27.fresh, he knows what to do. Dull staff, the whole system has looked
:33:27. > :33:34.after them really well. All they have got to worry about is getting
:33:34. > :33:39.on the bike and pedalling. Paul has done a great job with the team.
:33:39. > :33:48.Lots of questions coming in on Twitter, asking why one rider start
:33:48. > :33:53.in the gate and the other two don't. Another one of my fact files. The
:33:53. > :33:57.person on the lowest part of the track starts, the other riders
:33:57. > :34:07.cannot start until they do. It is the start gate and automatically
:34:07. > :34:07.
:34:07. > :34:13.releases the bike. If a rider tries to go before that it is detrimental,
:34:13. > :34:17.it will affect them. If they go after, they will fall off, and it
:34:17. > :34:20.means they cannot jump the start. It is not so important for the guys
:34:20. > :34:24.above because they cannot start to will the person on the bottom
:34:24. > :34:28.starts. You could have a gate, you could have four days but to get
:34:28. > :34:36.that off the track in time before the other team has got round would
:34:36. > :34:40.be complicated. Perfect for, another wonderful explanation. What
:34:41. > :34:46.of people looking for? What is the perfect race? Pretty much getting
:34:46. > :34:56.up to their speed you can sustain for the 12 laps, 16 laps, and flat
:34:56. > :34:56.
:34:56. > :35:01.lining it. It is all about keeping that speed as high as possible.
:35:01. > :35:04.This house without possible. That is what Marquez been explaining,
:35:04. > :35:14.one writer starting in the gate, two of them starting further up the
:35:14. > :35:19.
:35:19. > :35:23.New Zealand. The team of New Zealand is Laura Ellis, Jamie
:35:23. > :35:30.Neilsen and Alison Jacques. For the Netherlands it is Vera Koedooder,
:35:30. > :35:38.Amy Pieters and Ellen Van Dyke. In the previous round the New
:35:38. > :35:47.Zealand's, 3.18 0.514. The Netherlands will have to find
:35:47. > :35:56.somebody here if they are going to challenge to New Zealand team.
:35:56. > :36:04.Alison shanks got them off to a solid start, already in the lead.
:36:04. > :36:12.Moving away. Benevolence settling down to the task in hand, -- the
:36:12. > :36:19.Netherlands. Alison shanks is a powerful rider. She could play
:36:19. > :36:22.quite a significant part in this contest. They are already one
:36:22. > :36:31.second in the lead. You can see a little bit of daylight, it has cost
:36:31. > :36:39.them. The first two kilometres bit, New Zealand are there. -- kilometre
:36:39. > :36:45.split. Ever-so-slightly faster than their opening kilometre in the last
:36:45. > :36:48.round. They are going ahead of their schedule. Slightly quicker
:36:48. > :36:54.than they were perhaps expecting to go. Let's hope they haven't gone
:36:54. > :36:58.out too fast. Nearly two seconds in the lead now. Pretty soon they will
:36:58. > :37:08.be able to see the back of the team from the Netherlands, that is a
:37:08. > :37:12.
:37:12. > :37:18.great incentive. They will start to get some assistance. The contest
:37:18. > :37:27.continues here. It is New Zealand profiting from a good start and
:37:27. > :37:31.they certainly have got the Netherlands now. At I cannot see
:37:31. > :37:37.them pegging them back. kilometre remaining in this race.
:37:37. > :37:41.They are pretty much in the same straight, disaster for New Zealand
:37:41. > :37:51.to lose this, they have got to keep it together. They have got room to
:37:51. > :37:57.
:37:57. > :38:02.spare. 2:16 we five. The perfect spur for the three from New Zealand
:38:02. > :38:10.to try and raise their game in the closing stages. A lot of this about
:38:10. > :38:15.backing up, it being able to ride as fast again in the next race. The
:38:15. > :38:23.Netherlands haven't managed to do that. We are really into the final
:38:23. > :38:31.stages now. New Zealand are going to win this. It means they will
:38:31. > :38:37.finish 5th overall in the competition. Here they come. New
:38:37. > :38:44.Zealand coming up to the line now, let's have a look at the time. That
:38:44. > :38:49.brings them the clash against the Netherlands. The New Zealanders
:38:49. > :38:59.finished 5th overall in this Olympic Games team pursuit
:38:59. > :39:03.
:39:03. > :39:11.images of the starting effort of the Dutch. The bike securely
:39:11. > :39:21.clamped, only releases when the time on the clock runs out. A false
:39:21. > :39:23.
:39:23. > :39:32.start if a right to start before this. -- rider. Two more rides to
:39:32. > :39:38.go. The bronze and the contest for the Olympic title. The Australia
:39:38. > :39:48.just preparing. Getting shots of the British riders. Dani King who
:39:48. > :39:49.
:39:49. > :39:53.is just circus in -- circling in the middle. Joanna Rowsell up there
:39:54. > :39:58.as well. They were just relax before they get called to the line.
:39:58. > :40:05.This is to ride off for the bronze medal, in Australia starting in the
:40:05. > :40:09.home straight. Edmondson, Melissa Hoskins, Josephine Tomich. The
:40:09. > :40:15.opponents in the back straight will be the team from Canada, they have
:40:15. > :40:25.been riding very well, the Canadian trio. There will be Tara Whitton,
:40:25. > :40:26.
:40:26. > :40:36.Gillian Carleton, and Jasmin Glaesser. Australia in the previous
:40:36. > :40:43.
:40:43. > :40:46.round went three with 16 with nine, starting in the home straight. On
:40:46. > :40:54.the right of a screen starting in the back straight, the team from
:40:54. > :40:59.Canada. This is the ride for the bronze medal. The riders but all
:40:59. > :41:03.their weight back and they get the timing exactly right. If you get
:41:03. > :41:11.that wrong it can cost you a lot. It is worth all the training to get
:41:11. > :41:15.it right. You have your momentum moving forward when the gate opens.
:41:15. > :41:19.Canada have started quicker, work for Australia to close the Dow.
:41:19. > :41:24.Still a long way to go. Waiting for the first kilometre at Split. The
:41:25. > :41:30.time doesn't matter, it is all about beating your opponent. It is
:41:30. > :41:34.still cannot get looking good at this stage. The Australians very
:41:34. > :41:39.technically good on the track, great changes, plenty of height,
:41:39. > :41:49.takes a lot of confidence to do that. They look like a well-drilled
:41:49. > :42:05.
:42:05. > :42:09.unit. The Canadians not bad. and went ahead. Canada, 0.18 behind.
:42:09. > :42:15.These are the team as the British thought would be a threat coming
:42:15. > :42:21.into the competition. Australia will be looking to salvage
:42:21. > :42:28.something. They hope to be vying for a gold medal. It is very close
:42:28. > :42:33.between these two teams. As we expected. We knew it was going to
:42:33. > :42:39.be a good fight and that is exactly how it is proving to be. Now Canada
:42:40. > :42:45.are beginning to turn the screw again. They have gone ahead. They
:42:45. > :42:54.are neck and neck at the moment. Australia took the steadier start,
:42:54. > :43:04.that will help them in the latter stages. Canada just trailing.
:43:04. > :43:19.
:43:19. > :43:29.second kilometres split coming up. They are leading by a 0.01. They
:43:29. > :43:32.
:43:32. > :43:40.have just done a monster upturn. It has given Canada the advantage, but
:43:40. > :43:46.it is not over. Australia are not lying down. Just one mistake and it
:43:46. > :43:54.could all be over. It is going to come down to a sprint finish.
:43:54. > :44:02.coach for the Australians is urging his riders to find a little more.
:44:03. > :44:10.We are into the closing laps. It is an nail-biter. It looks like Canada
:44:10. > :44:19.well when the bronze medal. It was so close, on the line. Canada get
:44:19. > :44:29.the bronze medal. What a scrap. They pulled back three-tenths of a
:44:29. > :44:30.
:44:30. > :44:40.second in the final lap. The team from Canada are delighted with that
:44:40. > :44:41.
:44:41. > :44:47.performance. Another 3.17 ride by Canada. Sheer consistency it. The
:44:47. > :44:50.coach for the Canadian team is delighted by that. Australia were
:44:50. > :44:57.the silver medal winners in the world championships earlier in the
:44:57. > :45:03.year. But to come away with a medal you have to put the disappointments
:45:03. > :45:11.behind you and focus with what you have to do. A very good ride by
:45:11. > :45:17.Canada. Australia just a little bit up and down in their pacemaking. A
:45:17. > :45:25.fantastic surge for the line, just left a little bit too late. Nice
:45:25. > :45:30.finishing technique as well. Just listen to the noise here. It is
:45:30. > :45:36.building and building because Great Britain are coming out onto the
:45:36. > :45:42.track. People are on their feet and the flowers are waving and we have
:45:42. > :45:51.not even started. That was the result of the bronze medal right.
:45:51. > :45:56.We now set up the final for the gold and the silver medals. The
:45:57. > :46:05.team is Dani Kane, Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell. Joanna Rowsell will
:46:06. > :46:15.get them under way. It would appear to me that they are recognising the
:46:16. > :46:22.
:46:22. > :46:32.situation, cosmetic the, as you set another world record of 3.1
:46:32. > :46:39.
:46:39. > :46:49.4.682. The Canadians are certainly on form as well. This is the final
:46:49. > :46:50.
:46:50. > :46:59.of the women's 3000 metres team pursuit. The USA have got a good
:46:59. > :47:06.formula. But they are two seconds in areas of the British on paper.
:47:06. > :47:16.Already they have lost 0.7 of a second. An incredible start by
:47:16. > :47:16.
:47:16. > :47:20.Joanna Rowsell. What could happen is if the USA start to fall behind,
:47:20. > :47:26.the Individual Pursuit champion could go to the front and assert
:47:26. > :47:36.her power and it could break up their formation. She is using that
:47:36. > :47:41.
:47:41. > :47:49.power. They are spreading the work. The British squad are ahead and the
:47:49. > :47:59.United States are holding them. Great Britain are not as quick as
:47:59. > :48:00.
:48:00. > :48:04.their world record, but they have put the United States 0.78 behind.
:48:05. > :48:11.Paul Manning is calling them the same schedule, so they are not
:48:11. > :48:20.after a world record. They are going to go just to try and get the
:48:20. > :48:24.gold medal. They really are moving. Little Laura Trott swings up to
:48:24. > :48:31.allow her team-mates to go through. This is a phenomenal ride by Great
:48:31. > :48:41.Britain. They have got a solid lead of two seconds. They do not need to
:48:41. > :48:49.do anything clever. They have spread it more evenly between them.
:48:49. > :48:55.They can almost see the tail end of the American team. They are flying.
:48:55. > :49:00.They have got 2.3 seconds advantage over the USA. What a fantastic
:49:00. > :49:05.sensation this must be in London in front of a home crowd. They can see
:49:05. > :49:12.the opposition in front of them. They are so close to getting a
:49:12. > :49:18.medal. Now they have got the ideal scenario because they can see the
:49:18. > :49:24.Americans. There are now pursuing their quarry. This is the ideal
:49:24. > :49:29.weight to tidy up the team pursuit. They could set another world record.
:49:29. > :49:37.They are absolutely flyer and the crowd are getting behind them. You
:49:37. > :49:41.can see the gap. The final 250 metres and Great Britain are the
:49:41. > :49:46.world champions and they are now going to become the Olympic
:49:46. > :49:52.champions or stop they are on fire. Here they come, take a look at
:49:52. > :49:58.their finishing time. Great Britain when the Olympic title and the gold
:49:58. > :50:01.medal and another world record. That means they have ridden the
:50:01. > :50:07.last six events and consecutive league they have posted six world
:50:07. > :50:13.records or stop Dani Kane, Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell are the
:50:13. > :50:22.Olympic champions. They have done exactly what the men did. If they
:50:22. > :50:27.go any faster they will need parachutes to show -- slowed down.
:50:27. > :50:37.To break a world record after such a short gap between the rounds is
:50:37. > :50:40.
:50:40. > :50:50.incredible. There we are, the celebrations. That is Laura Trott's
:50:50. > :50:51.
:50:51. > :50:57.Sestak. I remember where the little kids used to ride around the cones
:50:57. > :51:04.to see if they had talent. This little last came from that. She is
:51:04. > :51:10.the Omnium world champion. She will be riding in back later. It is a
:51:10. > :51:20.privilege to be in an arena like this. There is Dani Kane. They are
:51:20. > :51:21.
:51:21. > :51:27.loving it. Milk the moment. What a fantastic experience to have. They
:51:27. > :51:35.have worked so hard for this. They have been so strong. The tears are
:51:35. > :51:41.beginning to appear now, it tears of celebration. Yes, you are an
:51:41. > :51:47.Olympic champion and a world champion as well. You would not bet
:51:48. > :51:51.against a Laura Trott winning two gold medals at these championships.
:51:51. > :51:59.There is Mark Cavendish, a very sportingly acknowledging the
:51:59. > :52:09.performance. And also Geraint Thomas. I wondered where Joanna
:52:09. > :52:12.
:52:12. > :52:16.Rowsell was. Enjoy the moment. What a ride. Analytically, assess it.
:52:16. > :52:21.They're really pressurised the world record and they went under it.
:52:21. > :52:27.They changed the length of that turns and spread the workload
:52:27. > :52:33.around a bit differently. This time they had the advantage of being
:52:33. > :52:40.able to see the team and get some advantage from the slipstream. That
:52:40. > :52:50.visual incentive is what made the difference. 5.67 seconds is the
:52:50. > :52:55.
:52:55. > :53:04.winning margin. These celebrations could go on for a long time. The
:53:04. > :53:14.crowd love it. Look who is there. They are all here watching it. The
:53:14. > :53:20.popularity of cycling is staggering. The number of cyclists is edging up
:53:20. > :53:25.to 55,000. Paul McCartney enjoying the moment with the British flag.
:53:25. > :53:31.We have had royalty, pop stars, politicians, everybody wants to be
:53:31. > :53:39.in the Velodrome. They all want to be part of the cycling action. That
:53:39. > :53:45.was an enthralling event. That transcends the previous calls I
:53:45. > :53:52.have made on these three and that is some statement. Consistent every
:53:52. > :53:57.time. They were nearly three- quarters of a second in the league
:53:57. > :54:05.with en two laps and that must be devastating for the other team.
:54:05. > :54:11.Once they have established that, that is it. That is a huge margin.
:54:11. > :54:17.Forget the schedule, go on, girls, just chase them down. It would be
:54:17. > :54:26.nice to hear what the winning side has to say. They are going towards
:54:26. > :54:31.at Jill Douglas. That is Laura Trott. Many congratulations. The
:54:31. > :54:37.first words used said where, we did it. How do you like the sound of
:54:37. > :54:42.that? World and now Olympic champions? It is mad, I cannot
:54:42. > :54:49.believe it. It has been my dream since I was eight and we have just
:54:49. > :54:54.gone and done it. You said before this was not 18, it is a family.
:54:54. > :55:00.is, we are like sisters and I could not have done it without them. It
:55:00. > :55:05.is amazing. A you talked about getting up to speed and you
:55:05. > :55:09.experienced the wall of noise and it was better than that. He it
:55:09. > :55:14.really was. They were just shirting so loud it spurred us on the last
:55:14. > :55:22.kilometre it will stop six world records in the last six competitive
:55:22. > :55:25.riots. Really amazing. I do not think we expected it. I think we
:55:25. > :55:35.expected it here in one of the rounds, but not in every single
:55:35. > :55:38.
:55:38. > :55:45.ride. Go and collect your medals, I imagine the smiles and the
:55:45. > :55:49.giggles will last for an off a long time. The Fab Three. A remarkable
:55:49. > :55:55.performance. Your thoughts? Incredible, it is the first team
:55:55. > :56:00.pursuit I have watched in a long time. It was just amazing to see it
:56:00. > :56:10.unfold. The atmosphere again is crazy, it is doing my head in, to
:56:10. > :56:18.
:56:18. > :56:25.be honest. Unbelievable, over the Three kilometres, only 12 laps of
:56:25. > :56:31.the trap, they went out, they went the fastest ever the first, to but
:56:31. > :56:36.they kept building. It was incredible. Once you get the other
:56:36. > :56:41.team in sight you will gain more and more. To back that up, it was
:56:42. > :56:46.fantastic. What a start from Jo Rowsell. To go a second quicker
:56:46. > :56:52.your -- then your opponent, that is laying down a marker. A big
:56:52. > :56:58.advantage. Having somebody that can start that fast and be able to soak
:56:58. > :57:05.it up, and keep going all the way to the end, is a massive advantage.
:57:05. > :57:10.She set the goals it really well. - - girls. It is about making sure
:57:10. > :57:17.the tactics work. We saw quite a big change compared to the last
:57:17. > :57:22.round where they were doing much shorter terms. The women do one, to
:57:22. > :57:28.less but they have won riderless. For the many star with four, the
:57:28. > :57:34.women only start with three. You cannot sacrifice somebody, they
:57:34. > :57:39.simply get harder for a shot a rout of time. They have to analyse and
:57:39. > :57:45.set out the tactics. He won the gold medal last night, how good
:57:45. > :57:49.does it feel when it is working like this? It is just a unit.
:57:49. > :57:55.Everybody is thinking the same, you are all on the same page and it
:57:55. > :58:02.just flows. The faster you go, sometimes the easier it gets,
:58:02. > :58:12.smooth things out, an incredible feeling. Paul Wood walking a month,
:58:12. > :58:12.
:58:12. > :58:20.they were on schedule all the way. They have a schedule am not sure
:58:20. > :58:29.what lap splits they would be doing, and he will walk one step away so
:58:29. > :58:35.they know they are a 10th up on schedule. It is pretty precise.
:58:35. > :58:39.That is what all hard work and ours goes to. You can see how much they
:58:39. > :58:43.work together. When they have seen the families they get together,
:58:43. > :58:47.they want to celebrate, it is beautiful. I was nearly crying,
:58:47. > :58:51.good job the camera wasn't on me. There is Paul who knows what it
:58:51. > :58:55.takes to win an Olympic medal and there is Dani King, fist in the air,
:58:55. > :59:04.a huge smile. Is that the moment when it starts to sink in, when you
:59:04. > :59:08.get the chance to celebrate with your parents? It is great having
:59:08. > :59:18.your family there, especially the girls, they are emotional
:59:18. > :59:24.characters. That support for them is amazing, as it is for us. You
:59:24. > :59:29.cross the line, it is strange, it is euphoria, you are happy and
:59:29. > :59:33.excited but at the same time it is weird, is still hasn't sunk in now,
:59:33. > :59:36.to be honest. All the year has been building to that one day and
:59:36. > :59:39.suddenly it is so that you have achieved it, but it takes a while
:59:39. > :59:44.to sink in. You'd better watch out because they are getting quicker
:59:44. > :59:47.and quicker, they will start being the start of the track before long.
:59:47. > :59:56.Ingesting this dynamic and folding. It is not just in here where people
:59:56. > :00:00.are on their feet, there are two and this remarkable new world
:00:00. > :00:04.record and outside. The action is unfolding in the main Olympic
:00:04. > :00:07.Stadium. Hundreds of thousands of people out there. This is what
:00:07. > :00:11.happened to them that the girls crossed the line, picked up the
:00:11. > :00:17.gold medal, broke the world record, you can see the fans watching the
:00:17. > :00:27.big screen, flags in the air. When these Olympic Games for one in 2005
:00:27. > :00:27.
:00:27. > :00:32.these were shot we dreamt about. were sat in our hotel, we all
:00:32. > :00:38.crowded round a little TV, and to imagine this, imagine our country
:00:38. > :00:42.hosting the Olympics, it is not even once in a lifetime, once in
:00:42. > :00:46.many generations, to bring it to the city, this country, see the him
:00:46. > :00:51.out of people supporting it, it is just beautiful. -- it see the
:00:51. > :00:57.amount of people. Every athlete wants to represent this country,
:00:57. > :01:05.Dick Brown. We will see the medals being awarded in just a moment.
:01:05. > :01:09.This is just having a snapshot into your lives, where all the effort,
:01:10. > :01:13.all the hard work peeks at this moment. Give us an insight into the
:01:13. > :01:20.effort for the past few years and the girls as well, this remarkable
:01:20. > :01:23.effort to achieve the greatest thing. November we were in a hotel
:01:23. > :01:33.in Manchester, A&E live half-an- hour down the road but we all had
:01:33. > :01:35.
:01:35. > :01:44.to go there, I spent nine months on the road. We were not allowed to go
:01:44. > :01:49.to a Ariana concert. It has been a long year. It was intense. They
:01:49. > :01:54.were on our backs all the way through. To sit here now with this
:01:55. > :01:59.around my neck makes it all worthwhile. We were up at eight in
:01:59. > :02:04.the morning, two or three times a week, training in the cold and rain
:02:04. > :02:08.in Manchester. Definitely a lot of hard work and easy to forget all
:02:08. > :02:11.that and look at the here and now and when we are going fast but it
:02:11. > :02:19.is good to look back and realise what we have gone through, it has
:02:19. > :02:25.been a long journey. It is worth it though. Definitely. What an amazing
:02:25. > :02:30.day, four gold medals won in this Velodrome. The British love affair
:02:30. > :02:36.with cycling continues. The love affair of this venue, the
:02:36. > :02:41.Velodrome, if you have got a ticket you're in for an absolute treat.
:02:42. > :02:45.Still two days to go and surely more gold medals to come. You can
:02:45. > :02:50.see there are loads of people at the Olympic Park heading into the
:02:50. > :02:53.stadium, many in front of the big screen because Jessica Ennis and Mo
:02:53. > :02:57.Farah are both going for gold later this evening. We are guaranteed
:02:57. > :03:01.medals tomorrow at Wimbledon with Andy Murray facing Roger Federer in
:03:01. > :03:06.the men's singles final and Andy Murray back on court with Flora
:03:06. > :03:12.Robson for the mixed doubles final, because earlier Laura Robson
:03:12. > :03:15.finished it off in style, defeating Sabine Lisicki and Christopher Kas
:03:15. > :03:20.to go through to the mixed doubles final, wonderful scenes at
:03:20. > :03:25.Wimbledon. They will face Azarenka and Max Mirnyi or Lisa Raymond and
:03:25. > :03:29.Mike O'Brien of the United States. Andy Murray was in tears yesterday
:03:29. > :03:33.when he beat Novak Djokovic. He is into the final of the men's singles
:03:33. > :03:41.and now the mixed doubles final, wonderful scenes on Centre Court
:03:41. > :03:48.today. And after the match they spoke to Jonathan Leverenz. -- over
:03:48. > :03:51.end. What a day. Well done, fantastic. I don't think I have
:03:51. > :04:00.ever been that nervous here at Wimbledon before. Are you feeling
:04:00. > :04:04.that? You are probably not nervous. It is just different. Playing
:04:04. > :04:10.doubles. It is a different sort of pressure but we played really well
:04:10. > :04:13.when it mattered, at the end of the tie-breaks, those nerves there, but
:04:13. > :04:16.we played really good stuff at the end, we deserved to win the match
:04:16. > :04:21.and I am happy we did because if it had gone the other way it would
:04:21. > :04:26.have been really disappointing. person who did pay particularly
:04:26. > :04:32.well is next tee -- play. This must feel, he has already got his medal,
:04:32. > :04:35.he has got everything, but for you this is fantastic. It has been
:04:35. > :04:39.incredible. Just to be playing the singles I was pretty happy with
:04:39. > :04:43.that, and before that I thought I was playing doubles and now I am in
:04:43. > :04:48.all three. We are guaranteed a medal, I couldn't ask for anything
:04:48. > :04:53.else. What a feeling to be able to serve it out and hold those big
:04:53. > :05:00.service points at the end of both matches. Yes, for once my serve
:05:00. > :05:04.went in when it mattered. I went for it and we played really well at
:05:04. > :05:07.the end of the tie-break in both matches. What were you saying to
:05:07. > :05:12.calm the nerves that Laura understandably must have been
:05:12. > :05:20.feeling. I was just trying to tell her to take her time, when we won
:05:20. > :05:25.the points, says some words she has probably not heard before, but that
:05:25. > :05:31.may be settled us down, relax this. I just really wanted to win, both
:05:31. > :05:35.of us did. A very emotional end to the match but she said great on the
:05:35. > :05:40.last two point and gave me a chance to try to take control and that is
:05:40. > :05:46.what we needed to do. Not your average day preparing for a five-
:05:46. > :05:50.set final against Roger Federer. will see, it has been different to
:05:50. > :05:55.what I would usually do but I enjoyed today, I have enjoyed the
:05:55. > :06:00.whole event and tomorrow is pretty much the perfect end to the
:06:00. > :06:04.tournament for me. Try and win both. Fantastic. From your point of view
:06:04. > :06:07.I sense really into the whole Olympic fever, how inspired have
:06:07. > :06:11.you been with everything going on the last few days? You have got
:06:11. > :06:16.there just to add to that. I have been watching everything, just
:06:16. > :06:24.before we went on this morning I watched the guys win the rolling.
:06:24. > :06:31.Have elite we will be able to add to that tomorrow. -- rolling. --
:06:31. > :06:35.rowing. Busy day tomorrow. We are about to hear the national anthem
:06:35. > :06:41.for the 4th time. Let's go back to Hugh Porter.
:06:41. > :06:45.We are looking at the Teme of Canada here. That is Jasmin
:06:45. > :06:55.Glaesser, Gillian Carleton and Carole Whitty and who wrote
:06:55. > :07:00.
:07:00. > :07:06.courageously to win the bronze They beat a Australia, they got the
:07:06. > :07:16.better of them in the closing stages. Winners of the bronze medal,
:07:16. > :07:16.
:07:16. > :07:20.the team from Canada. That bronze- medal ride off was so fast it was
:07:20. > :07:25.quicker than the United States who got the silver. That just
:07:25. > :07:30.underlines what a fierce contest it was. The winners of the silver-
:07:30. > :07:40.medal art USA and first to get a medal is Sarah Hammer, a four-times
:07:40. > :07:47.
:07:47. > :07:57.world individual pursuit champion, and go into his dog see which --
:07:57. > :08:01.
:08:01. > :08:06.They have got to be happy with that right. With everything they could,
:08:06. > :08:11.there was no way they were going to be the Brits today. The Olympic
:08:11. > :08:19.champions and gold medal winners are the team from Great Britain. In
:08:19. > :08:25.a new world record. They have broken the world record in the last
:08:25. > :08:35.six races that they have taken place in. Dani King first to get
:08:35. > :08:37.
:08:38. > :08:43.her gold medal. And now Laura Trott. And Joanna Rowsell. She plays her
:08:43. > :08:53.way out of the gate, but in the Great Britain team ahead. The world
:08:53. > :09:08.
:09:08. > :09:12.champions and now they are the Ladies and gentlemen, we deeply
:09:12. > :09:20.stand for the national anthem of Great Britain. -- would you please
:09:20. > :09:28.stand. # God save our gracious Queen!
:09:28. > :09:38.# Long live our noble Queen! # God save the Queen!
:09:38. > :09:38.
:09:38. > :09:48.# Send her victorious. # Happy and glorious.
:09:48. > :10:04.
:10:04. > :10:13.# Long to reign over us. CHEERING. Ladies and gentlemen, the
:10:13. > :10:20.Olympic medallists. Wonderful moments, these. The crowd are
:10:20. > :10:26.energised by these performances. There are five more gold medals to
:10:27. > :10:30.be decided. Great Britain are in with a serious chance in all five.
:10:30. > :10:35.We have been looking at that while the presentation has been going on.
:10:35. > :10:42.Five gold medals so far, five more possible, everybody said Beijing, a
:10:42. > :10:46.gold medals, not possible. There is an outside chance, there would be
:10:46. > :10:54.unbelievable. The mud of conversations I have had, people
:10:54. > :11:01.are saying make the most of it. There are still other disciplines
:11:01. > :11:11.as well. We have got Shanaze Reade in the BMX who is one of the
:11:11. > :11:15.
:11:15. > :11:19.greatest BMX riders in the world. Play a Beatles song and having one
:11:19. > :11:29.of the Beatles hear singing it to you, you cannot get any better it
:11:29. > :11:41.
:11:41. > :11:46.than that! Three very, very happily -- happy ladies. Wonderful Saints
:11:46. > :11:52.in the Velodrome. Eight British singing star and three British
:11:52. > :11:56.Cycling stars. Congratulated us to all of them up from us. Danielle
:11:56. > :12:02.King, Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell. It is important for these
:12:02. > :12:08.three ladies to savour this moment. Building up to the Olympics for
:12:08. > :12:17.four years and they have been working. They have spent so much
:12:17. > :12:25.time away from their families. It has paid off. Laura Trott has still
:12:25. > :12:32.got one more event, she is the world champion in the Omnium.
:12:32. > :12:36.McCartney is enjoying it. You have got your hands on your
:12:36. > :12:42.gold medals and we could say what that meant to you. Absolutely
:12:42. > :12:47.everything. I am just ecstatic it feels amazing, I cannot believe we
:12:47. > :12:53.have done it. And the crowd joining in and Sir Paul McCartney leading
:12:53. > :12:59.the crowd, singing, but he is not the start of the show, your girls
:12:59. > :13:06.have had the stadium rocking like a football stadium. Yes, look at us.
:13:06. > :13:13.I cannot believe we did it. You can believe it because you have been
:13:13. > :13:19.dreaming about this. When did you realise it had become a reality?
:13:19. > :13:23.The last couple of laps we saw them, but you cannot believe it and tell
:13:23. > :13:28.you here began at the end. But I believed in us from the start. I
:13:29. > :13:35.knew we could do it will start just 12 laps of the track as fast as we
:13:35. > :13:40.could. It is all about this gold medal. We know how deep you have to
:13:40. > :13:47.go to get a performance like this. Often you are unwell after you come
:13:47. > :13:51.off the bike, but no problems today. It was the last thing I was
:13:51. > :13:57.thinking about, that was it, we just celebrated, I could not think
:13:57. > :14:07.about anything else. Can you even begin to think about the Omnium at
:14:07. > :14:10.
:14:10. > :14:16.this stage? Now, I'd just keep thinking I am an Olympic champion.
:14:16. > :14:22.How wonderful, such joy. Mark and diet are struggling not to make use
:14:22. > :14:25.of these. The atmosphere it is special. You have trained for this
:14:25. > :14:28.event and you have been an endurance rider and you know the
:14:28. > :14:33.effort that has gone into this and you know why they are so happy and
:14:34. > :14:38.so proud of themselves. It is hours and hours of drills in a Velodrome
:14:38. > :14:42.and a gymnasium from seven in the morning until 10 o'clock at night.
:14:43. > :14:46.Just hours and hours and hours and the same thing getting it
:14:46. > :14:50.repetitively perfect and right and exactly how you want it to go on
:14:50. > :14:55.the day. But making sure that when you get into that one day you put
:14:55. > :15:01.everything you have learnt into practice. They did that and that is
:15:01. > :15:07.why they can be so happy. A It is amazing just to watch it. It really
:15:07. > :15:11.is, I had goose bumps. We have almost forgotten the cycling
:15:11. > :15:16.continues. We heard Laura talking about the fact she has to go
:15:16. > :15:21.straight into the Omnium and that continues today for Ed Clancy. The
:15:22. > :15:28.cycling keeps on coming. The at is what is so nice about track racing
:15:28. > :15:34.will stop it is like being in the stadium for the track and field.
:15:34. > :15:38.You have had 1 million people out on the roads on Saturday, but this
:15:38. > :15:42.is more like a gladiatorial sport, at where you can see the athletes
:15:42. > :15:48.in every single part of the race and that is why the big crowds are
:15:48. > :15:53.here. The if you have got a bike and a helmet, grab them and go out
:15:53. > :15:57.for a ride. You will see the continuation of the Omnium on BBC
:15:57. > :16:03.Three. It is one of the most dramatic and spectator friendly
:16:04. > :16:09.sports. I am going to hand back to you. It was a wonderful evening
:16:09. > :16:17.last night with Victoria Pendleton, but the mention here today might
:16:17. > :16:21.have just topped off the lot. What a lovely interview. Danielle
:16:22. > :16:27.King, Laura Trott, and Joanna Rowsell, the world champions and
:16:27. > :16:35.the Olympic gold. We are hoping for more success down
:16:35. > :16:42.at Weymouth with Ben Ainslie and Andrew Simpson. They had a day off
:16:42. > :16:46.today, but it has still been very busy doubt at Weymouth. Iain Percy
:16:46. > :16:52.and Anders Hansen are in the Star class and Ben Ainslie in the end of
:16:52. > :16:58.last had a day off. Time to think about their strategy before they
:16:58. > :17:06.battle for gold tomorrow. The FA when seven men and women are hotly
:17:06. > :17:12.tipped to win a medal next week. The windsurfers were also out. Paul
:17:12. > :17:18.Goodison has been struggling and today it was make or break. If he
:17:18. > :17:23.was going to keep his medal hopes alive, today he had to deliver.
:17:23. > :17:27.Today was the last day for the Laser sailors to make their mark in
:17:27. > :17:31.qualifying for the all-important medal races. Some sailors will be
:17:31. > :17:38.packing their bags and heading home, but the rest will be continuing on
:17:38. > :17:43.their quest for a podium position. Beijing gold medallist Paul
:17:43. > :17:53.Goodison has been rest -- wrestling with a back injury. Today he
:17:53. > :17:56.qualified for the medal race final, but he will not be on the podium.
:17:56. > :18:02.The Australians are already guaranteed a silver, but for him it
:18:02. > :18:07.has not been his wake. Alison Young has plenty to be proud about with a
:18:07. > :18:14.string of second places and a good medal race could see her inside the
:18:14. > :18:18.top five. But she has too many points for a podium finish. Today
:18:18. > :18:22.the women's match-racing team secured their place in the quarter-
:18:22. > :18:26.finals. Britain so nearly beat the Americans, but it does not matter
:18:26. > :18:33.because they are in the quarter- finals and it is a knockout
:18:33. > :18:37.competitions. Is it a relief to get through the round-robin stage?
:18:38. > :18:44.there is a massive relief and we are all feeling it now. But we
:18:44. > :18:50.start again on Tuesday and today it is a rest day. We have got to move
:18:50. > :18:56.forward. In the women's windsurfing Bryony Shaw is currently 7th
:18:56. > :19:02.overall. A Spanish sailor Leeds. In the men's division there is a
:19:02. > :19:09.runaway leader. He is from the Netherlands and is looking hard to
:19:10. > :19:15.catch. But Nick Dempsey is looking good to finish on the podium.
:19:15. > :19:21.Great news for Britain, Nick Dempsey has finished in third place.
:19:21. > :19:27.I am still in it and I'm sailing well. It is good to be up there,
:19:27. > :19:33.but that gold medal is getting further and further away. I need a
:19:33. > :19:40.special day tomorrow or we will be racing for second. British sailors
:19:41. > :19:46.in two other classes are also in silver medal position. There is
:19:46. > :19:52.something going on in the boat. It is a worry. They have not been able
:19:53. > :19:56.to go full speed. They have not been able to trim the spinnaker.
:19:57. > :20:03.The Italians are focused on speed and the British team are focused on
:20:03. > :20:09.something inside the boat. They have lost a lot of ground. It has
:20:09. > :20:14.cost them two places. But they lie second, just two points off the
:20:14. > :20:21.lead and they must have confidence about the remaining races.
:20:21. > :20:27.You were in the lead in the second race, but what happened? We had a
:20:27. > :20:33.clear failure. It is something we checked every day, but it came
:20:33. > :20:37.undone and we wasted a lot of time trying to fix it. To come away with
:20:38. > :20:43.a six was excellent damage- limitation. Exactly, that is what
:20:43. > :20:49.it is about. We had to grind out a result as best we could and we did
:20:49. > :20:59.that. We are still in the hunt. Things are still looking good for

:21:00. > :21:05.the men. Tomorrow there is potential for a double gold.
:21:05. > :21:09.Joining me is the Olympic team manager Stephen Park. Plenty to
:21:09. > :21:18.look forward to next week and tomorrow. What are you expecting to
:21:18. > :21:22.see tomorrow from Iain Percy and Ben Ainslie? From them we will see
:21:22. > :21:29.them in a relatively conservative race. They have got an eight. Read
:21:29. > :21:32.-- lead. As long as they are close to the Brazilians, they will come
:21:32. > :21:38.away with their gold medal. They will probably be trying to keep
:21:38. > :21:43.their noses clean. With Ben Ainslie, it is going to be a head to head.
:21:43. > :21:48.Yes, first over the water it well when the gold medal on the Saturday.
:21:48. > :21:55.There is an option for the Dutch to play a part, but he is a good few
:21:55. > :21:58.points behind. It will be a battle in that class and we will see some
:21:58. > :22:03.entertainment in the run-up to the race in the pre-start. It will be
