medal, Britain have moved up to third on the medal table. They

:00:41.:00:44.

could be more to come at the Velodrome and later on in the

Olympic Stadium. You can see thousands of people in the Olympic

:00:48.:00:52.

Park, and 80,000 lucky ticket holders will be inside the stadium

:00:52.:00:56.

to see Jessica Ennis win the gold medal. She is the overwhelming

:00:56.:01:00.

favourite tough to win it later on this evening. Also there Farah will

:01:00.:01:06.

be going for gold in the 10,000m. We will be heading back to the

:01:06.:01:13.

Velodrome in just a moment to see if the women's team pursuit can be

action, also the defending champion, Christine Ohuruogu will be going at

:01:38.:01:43.

three heat and Mo Farah at 9:15pm. So much to look forward to. A lot

:01:43.:01:49.

to enjoy right now over on BBC Three. At 7:30pm the men's football

:01:50.:01:53.

quarter-finals, Great Britain trying to get through to the semi-

:01:53.:01:58.

finals against South Korea. That will be live from the the 11th it.

:01:58.:02:04.

If this foul of the PC three at the moment that the mixed doubles semi-

:02:04.:02:09.

finals up live on BBC through. It is one set all. They did lead 3-1

:02:09.:02:14.

in the tie-break but it is one set all. Andy Murray and Laura Robson

:02:14.:02:20.

tried to go through to that all middle final tomorrow. -- gold-

:02:20.:02:30.
:02:30.:02:30.

medal. Women's hockey, Great Britain a China. Lucy 2-0, they

:02:30.:02:34.

needed a point to guarantee a place in the semi-finals, not good news

:02:34.:02:43.

for Great Britain at the them. We are heading back to the Velodrome

:02:43.:02:48.

at 5:50pm it could be a gold medal for Britain.

:02:48.:02:51.

Welcome back from the Velodrome where the action is getting

:02:51.:02:58.

exciting in the omnium and later tonight the women's team pursuit.

:02:58.:03:01.

Neither the event unfolding here all the women's team pursuit

:03:01.:03:04.

actually happened in Beijing because since the last Olympic

:03:04.:03:07.

Games they have been huge changes to the Olympic cycling programme.

:03:07.:03:17.
:03:17.:03:23.

event at three women's event. Cycling's governing body chose to

:03:23.:03:26.

give clarity to the men's and women's events such out have gone

:03:26.:03:30.

the individual pursuit, the points race, and income women's versions

:03:30.:03:35.

of the team sprint, team pursuit and the new event, the omnium.

:03:35.:03:40.

There is also no chance for so Kris Boyd to repeat his three goals as

:03:40.:03:48.

another new will to limit dominance was to limit it to one competitor -

:03:48.:03:58.

Cycling have just got 14 events, 42 events in the swimming pool, it

:03:58.:04:04.

seems a big disparity. That is the way it is. You think it

:04:04.:04:08.

is fair enough to bring clarity between the men and women, but cut

:04:08.:04:18.

prices back, it is not nice for the riders. I don't know why it is. It

:04:18.:04:24.

does seem unfair. You have circled on the track for

:04:24.:04:28.

years, and I guess it is a fair comparison to say the individual

:04:28.:04:31.

pursuit is light afforded metres in the athletics, you will not take

:04:31.:04:38.

that out of the Olympics but they took it out of the cycling.

:04:38.:04:42.

The pursuit is a Blue Riband event of the Velodrome, it is what

:04:42.:04:52.
:04:52.:04:53.

everybody watches. It seems such a shame it has been taken out, and

:04:53.:05:00.

the omnium, the new race, it is to replace a bunch of good races to

:05:00.:05:05.

watch. I am sure the omnium is exciting

:05:05.:05:08.

but you're not too sure about having this in the Olympics.

:05:08.:05:18.

To be honest, when I grow up, it is what you write as a kid, -- or ride.

:05:18.:05:24.

You learn how to sprint, pursuit, racing in budgies, there is an

:05:24.:05:33.

elimination race. It is exciting, a great spectator sport.

:05:33.:05:38.

Imagine losing an Olympic medal on an elimination race. It will be

:05:38.:05:41.

exciting for the fans but the races we are seeing, would be nice to

:05:41.:05:47.

have a medal for each discipline. You get to see the best person

:05:47.:05:52.

overall in the Velodrome but the Olympics is about faster, Higher,

:05:52.:06:00.

stronger. You can probably hear from behind us, it is getting the

:06:00.:06:06.

crowd on their feet because there is a British competitor, Ed Clancy.

:06:06.:06:11.

Began watch it uninterrupted on the red button. The fact is, it is here,

:06:11.:06:14.

whether it is here to stay we will point out. It is in the Olympics

:06:14.:06:22.

and this is what it is all about. Individual riders will be going

:06:22.:06:32.
:06:32.:06:35.

head-to-head in six different The writers must complete every

:06:35.:06:38.

event to continue in the competition. The lowest total after

:06:38.:06:44.

six events wins gold. In the flying lap riders are racing against the

:06:44.:06:50.

clock over 250 metres, the fastest time wins. The points race is an

:06:50.:06:54.

endurance event where they accumulate. By lapping the field.

:06:54.:07:01.

There are opportunities for further points in the sprints. The winner

:07:02.:07:06.

is the rider he gains the most points. In elimination after a mass

:07:06.:07:11.

start the last rider over the line is eliminated every two laps. The

:07:11.:07:16.

two final riders will battle it out in a sprint finish. Individual

:07:16.:07:20.

pursuit involves two riders on the track at one time, the men

:07:20.:07:30.

competing over 4,000m, the women over 3,000 metres. Dividers -- the

:07:30.:07:32.

writers start on opposite sides of the track and try to catch each

:07:33.:07:40.

other. In the scratch race date start in a mass ride. Men cover

:07:40.:07:44.

15,000 metres, and women 10,000m. The first to cross the line is the

:07:44.:07:49.

winner. The time trial is an individual race against the clock,

:07:49.:07:57.

and then cover one dozen metres and women 500m, the fastest time wins.

:07:57.:08:04.

If you are right to get involved in a Olympics sports go to the website.

:08:04.:08:10.

Years ago that is exactly what Mark Cavendish was doing. If this has

:08:10.:08:13.

inspired you go on to the website and perhaps you can go from

:08:13.:08:16.

competing in these kind of events to representing your country at the

:08:16.:08:20.

Olympics. So far today we are in the middle of the points raised, we

:08:20.:08:24.

had the flying lap earlier row, there are six events culminating

:08:24.:08:30.

with a time trial tomorrow. Ed Clancy is an endurance racer, and

:08:30.:08:37.

pulled this out in his flying lap. His body type, he is more of a

:08:37.:08:45.

sprinter. He is super-fast. He got a flying lap this morning, 12.5 in

:08:45.:08:50.

a flying lap. Sprinters do do that, he is half the second quicker than

:08:50.:08:54.

second place, incredible. If you take his boat for the last 200m he

:08:54.:09:01.

would have qualified in the top five. Their shows how fast he is.

:09:01.:09:09.

Remarkable for Foreman's. He didn't get to celebrate his gold medal.

:09:09.:09:14.

Geraint is going to join us from the team PCT. Ed Clancy celebrated

:09:14.:09:23.

by winning the first event. The aim in the omnium is to get to the end

:09:23.:09:27.

of the six events with the fewest points possible and as you can see

:09:27.:09:33.

Ed with just one point. Behind us the points race is unfolding. To

:09:33.:09:38.

the untrained eye it is incredibly confusing but all about winning

:09:38.:09:41.

sprints as the race unfolds. It is consistency. There is a sprint

:09:41.:09:50.

every 10 laps. It is the first four cross the line. They simply add up

:09:50.:09:56.

the points at the end of the race. It is not at the end of the 120

:09:56.:10:03.

laps the first rider, it is being consistent. There is a little rule

:10:03.:10:08.

that people might lap the field, in the olden days it didn't matter how

:10:08.:10:16.

many points you had, if you Laverty went into the lead, so you could be

:10:16.:10:20.

plus one lap without any points. But now they have changed that, you

:10:20.:10:27.

get 20 bonus points if you lap the field. 5, 3, 2 and 1, if you lap

:10:27.:10:34.

the field you get 20 bonus point. That is described by a nanny was

:10:34.:10:40.

the European champion, a Clancy is doing well. This is what we are

:10:40.:10:44.

expecting from him, use your endurance and printing. He has once

:10:44.:10:53.

breathe rents already -- he has won three sprints already. Where a does

:10:53.:10:58.

fail his endurance, it is about keeping it going. There are other

:10:59.:11:08.
:11:09.:11:17.

sprint races to come in this omnium. That is the moment he crossed the

:11:17.:11:22.

line in front to pick up the points. Ed Clancy representing Great

:11:22.:11:29.

Britain in the Omnium. There are 22 laps to go and we can join Chris

:11:29.:11:34.

Boardman and Sue Porter. This is a great one to watch as it gets hot

:11:34.:11:38.

tip towards the end. It is one of the most exciting disciplines on

:11:38.:11:48.
:11:48.:11:56.

the track. There are three more sprints to go. Bobby Lee of the USA

:11:56.:12:06.
:12:06.:12:09.

comes up to the line. The race is being dominated by a group that

:12:09.:12:19.
:12:19.:12:30.

gave the field a slip and gained a lap. You get a 20 point bonus. At

:12:30.:12:38.

the moment Ed Clancy is lying 10th. He has picked off three sprints

:12:38.:12:46.

quite cutely. If he finishes 10th in the end in this points raised,

:12:46.:12:53.

his tally will be 11, so it is not a bad start in the opening two

:12:53.:13:03.
:13:03.:13:06.

events, in six events in all. Lee is also off the front. They are

:13:06.:13:16.
:13:16.:13:21.

looking to get another lap. This is not a problem for Ed Clancy. What I

:13:21.:13:26.

can tell you and Creswell agree with me, it is a pretty hard Points

:13:26.:13:35.

Race. They have still got the elimination race to come. It is at

:13:35.:13:42.

very demanding discipline, the Omnium. The United States are

:13:42.:13:47.

starting to die. He has been out there for a long time on his own. I

:13:48.:13:53.

do not think he is going to bridge that gap, so he will not gain those

:13:53.:14:03.
:14:03.:14:11.

That is their head of the race coming through over the line and it

:14:11.:14:20.

is still Bobby Lee. Bobby Lee has not figured in many springs. He is

:14:20.:14:30.
:14:30.:14:38.

below Ed Clancy. But his legs are buckled. He is being overtaken.

:14:38.:14:48.
:14:48.:14:49.

Clancy is now down into 11th place. The first two points have been

:14:49.:14:54.

claimed on the line. Archibald of New Zealand just about beating

:14:55.:15:04.
:15:05.:15:21.

We have got one more sprint to go. These two are persisting, but they

:15:21.:15:26.

are starting to accelerate with the finish inside. Just eight laps

:15:26.:15:36.
:15:36.:15:52.

Terror well of Spain is very Norman Hansen is also there. Ed

:15:52.:16:02.
:16:02.:16:02.

Clancy vanishes five points in the concluding sprint. If he could get

:16:02.:16:11.

another five points, it would help him ease his way up. He has read

:16:11.:16:17.

that moved well. He is certainly the strongest sprinter in the group

:16:17.:16:23.

he is in now. Fired more laps to go and one sprint remaining. People

:16:23.:16:29.

find it hard to take on board that he cannot win the race, but it is

:16:29.:16:37.

where he is placed. The final sprint is almost certainly going to

:16:37.:16:47.
:16:47.:17:06.

The Danish rider is very strong and very deceptive, Norman Hansen.

:17:06.:17:15.

Clancy needs to take a sprint. The final lap. It is Norman Hansen of

:17:15.:17:19.

Denmark who has ridden sensationally in this event. He is

:17:19.:17:24.

looking to nail five points and he did that. He is the leader of the

:17:24.:17:34.
:17:34.:17:44.

We will have to go to countback to decide the overall positions. That

:17:44.:17:49.

has taken Ed Clancy's tally to 18, which will keep him in 11th

:17:49.:17:57.

position. His tally is now 12. We are going to count back now. I

:17:57.:18:07.
:18:07.:18:10.

think he is still in the lead after two events. Although Norman Hansen

:18:10.:18:14.

with consistency is likely to be challenging as well. He has just

:18:14.:18:22.

won the points raised with 59 points. He was 4th in the time-

:18:22.:18:30.

trials. That makes his tally five. He has got to be the leader. We

:18:30.:18:40.
:18:40.:18:50.

Unofficially Norman Hansen with a win in the points raised and a very

:18:50.:18:59.

good ride in the time-trial, his tally of points will go up to five.

:18:59.:19:04.

Unofficially it looks like Norman Hansen could have elevated himself

:19:04.:19:13.

into the lead in the competition. The German is the winner of the

:19:13.:19:23.
:19:23.:19:29.

Points Race. It is all about the six events and sheer consistency.

:19:29.:19:34.

Two of the six completed and one of the least favourite for Ed Clancy.

:19:34.:19:41.

He is not so keen on the distance races. If it comes down to the

:19:41.:19:51.
:19:51.:20:18.

single sprint, he has got a good It is looking like the young Dane,

:20:18.:20:28.
:20:28.:20:28.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

:20:28.:21:10.

the former world junior champion, Ed Clancy is 5th with 12 points

:21:10.:21:18.

after two events. Apologies for the incorrect graphics. He goes in the

:21:18.:21:23.

elimination race at 6:30pm and all this after winning gold in the team

:21:23.:21:28.

pursuit yesterday. He has to get back on the track and ride. You had

:21:28.:21:32.

a lovely night out last night to celebrate the gold medal. How are

:21:32.:21:38.

you feeling? It is still a bit surreal. It is something we have

:21:38.:21:43.

been building up for the last year and all we have been thinking about.

:21:43.:21:48.

To finally get here and do it is a great feeling. I do not know what

:21:48.:21:54.

to do now, apart from celebrate. Chat to ours and hang out in here.

:21:54.:21:58.

We can have a look back at the moment you crossed the line and the

:21:58.:22:08.
:22:08.:22:09.

celebrations. An amazing atmosphere, how much did the crowd help? It was

:22:09.:22:12.

unbelievable and when you walked into the stadium, you could feel

:22:13.:22:18.

the buzz of the crowd. Vicky was racing before us and there was an

:22:18.:22:23.

incredible buzz. During the race I could not notice it too much, it

:22:23.:22:28.

was more in the background, we have to focus on what we had to do. It

:22:28.:22:32.

was incredible to cross the line with another world record and it

:22:32.:22:38.

was an unbelievable feeling. long did it take you to realise you

:22:38.:22:43.

picked up the world record? We kind of knew because we were going so

:22:43.:22:49.

fast and we had the coach on the line because he notes the pace. It

:22:50.:22:55.

was like Beijing. We went out and it flowed and it was so fast. I

:22:55.:23:03.

needed a bigger dear, I just could not keep up. You mentioned Beijing

:23:03.:23:08.

and this is your second gold medal in the team pursuit. It is a huge,

:23:08.:23:14.

big medal. How does it compare with the one in Beijing? Definitely the

:23:14.:23:18.

pressure and the expectation around cycling as a whole, it has taken

:23:18.:23:25.

off since Beijing with the likes of Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins.

:23:26.:23:30.

Cycling is so big these days and living up to that was the biggest

:23:30.:23:36.

challenge. To come here and deliver was great. We want full analysis

:23:36.:23:40.

and in-depth discussions about the celebrations last night. How were

:23:40.:23:47.

they? I do not remember much past 1 o'clock. I were Cup in the hotel

:23:48.:23:53.

with my girlfriend and I could not remember how I got there!

:23:53.:23:57.

cannot remember anything past 1 o'clock, but you will probably

:23:57.:24:02.

remember this moment. Was this you in a kebab shop in London last

:24:03.:24:10.

night feeling hungry? I cannot say more than that, can I? I did not

:24:10.:24:16.

take a bag out with me. Maybe you've found one. I hope it was you

:24:16.:24:24.

because you deserve to celebrate like that. What? With a kebab?

:24:24.:24:27.

After the Olympics in Beijing the whole world looked at British

:24:27.:24:31.

cycling and said, we need to take the fight to these guys and

:24:31.:24:40.

Australia are starting to do that. They have brought their form in.

:24:40.:24:45.

Last year the Australians won the World Championships, but this is

:24:45.:24:50.

about the Olympics. It is a four- year cycle and these guys have been

:24:50.:24:59.

working strongly together. Geraint has been working on that and

:24:59.:25:02.

finally putting bat to good use and changing back to speed on the track

:25:02.:25:08.

and you can see what they have done. And have you spoken to everybody

:25:08.:25:12.

back in Wales? They were here yesterday and it was nice and we

:25:12.:25:17.

were all out last night as well and it was good to celebrate with them.

:25:17.:25:21.

You know the photograph opportunity that awaits you when you get back

:25:21.:25:29.

to Cardiff? What is that? You will have your very own golden post box.

:25:29.:25:34.

I did not know that. That is it being painted especially for you.

:25:34.:25:40.

That is quite surreal, but it is nice. If ever there was a reason to

:25:40.:25:45.

post a letter, that is it. Will you stay with us, because we have got

:25:45.:25:51.

the women's pursuit? Of course. There have been fantastic.

:25:51.:25:58.

Unbelievable. They have been doing some good times. Paul Manning is

:25:58.:26:03.

their coach and he seems pretty relaxed and topping them up a bit

:26:03.:26:08.

and we can expect good things. have already seen a couple of world

:26:08.:26:14.

records from them. Do you think we will see another one? It is

:26:14.:26:19.

difficult with the two rides close to each other, but I would put some

:26:19.:26:26.

money on it. I am about to hand you back to suit. We want a photograph

:26:26.:26:33.

with that gold medal. We were had the team pursuit in a few minutes.

:26:33.:26:38.

Hopefully another gold medal. I can tell you there is some terrific

:26:38.:26:42.

news from Wimbledon because Andy Murray, he will be facing Roger

:26:43.:26:47.

Federer tomorrow for the gold medal, he will be in the mixed doubles

:26:47.:26:57.
:26:57.:26:59.

final as well. Laura Robson serves at match point. It was a terrific

:26:59.:27:09.
:27:09.:27:11.

rally to end on and Laura Robson They are pretty the final of the

:27:11.:27:18.

mixed doubles tomorrow. Gold or silver in the singles, her gold in

:27:18.:27:22.

the mixed doubles, what a performance, what seems at

:27:22.:27:26.

Wimbledon, such an enthusiastic crowd on Centre Court cheering

:27:27.:27:35.

another British victory. What a day to look forward to. That is

:27:35.:27:41.

tomorrow. Terrific news. If you want to watch on BBC Three you can

:27:41.:27:51.
:27:51.:27:51.

watch the Badminton, the women's singles final. That is the singles

:27:51.:27:58.

final, live on BBC Three. Terrific news at Wimbledon. There may be a

:27:58.:28:02.

couple of gold medals for Andy Murray and Laura Robson tomorrow at

:28:02.:28:06.

Wimbledon but we are heading back to the Velodrome. Have you had your

:28:06.:28:10.

picture taken? I can confirm I have. We will

:28:10.:28:16.

hopefully increase the atmosphere in the Velodrome. The women's team

:28:16.:28:22.

pursuit, a brand new event to the Olympics, and tonight the world

:28:22.:28:25.

record breaking, ground-breaking trio are going to go for something

:28:25.:28:35.
:28:35.:28:40.

We are all from different backgrounds, it Laura has been

:28:40.:28:43.

cycling since the age of eight, myself, for the last six years

:28:43.:28:48.

professionally. There is just a real variation in backgrounds, age,

:28:48.:28:58.
:28:58.:28:59.

life experience. We get on really well. It is more of a family vanity.

:28:59.:29:06.

Dani King is more of a sister to me. Lorette is just crazy, we are

:29:06.:29:12.

sharing a room together -- Laura. We have such a laugh, constant chat,

:29:12.:29:16.

never a moment of silence, having fun, absolutely great, she is

:29:16.:29:24.

fantastic. Laura is probably the loudest. Dani King is bubbly, if

:29:24.:29:31.

you are having a bad day she is the best person to have around. Joe is

:29:31.:29:35.

absolutely amazing, a bit shy compared to Laura. We get on so

:29:35.:29:39.

well, she is always there for support. The same with Wendy. She

:29:39.:29:44.

brings experience, nice to have that as well. We are all pretty

:29:44.:29:54.
:29:54.:29:55.

There is a great psychological boost to be the his radiance on our

:29:55.:30:05.
:30:05.:30:06.

home soil. Great Britain, a new world record. We rode it really

:30:06.:30:10.

well, that is how we got such a great time. I think the world

:30:10.:30:16.

record will be broken, it will have to be. I am so excited. My team-

:30:16.:30:21.

mates are so good, and as a unit we are going to do really well, it

:30:22.:30:26.

just remains to be seen how well. We have got so much trust in each

:30:26.:30:33.

other it just works. We all have to perform at our best on the day and

:30:33.:30:39.

if we went, hats off to us, but if somebody else beats us, has off to

:30:39.:30:46.

them, congratulations. -- hats off. We're just minutes away from seeing

:30:46.:30:50.

Great Britain against the USA in the women's to pursue final, 24

:30:50.:30:56.

hours ago Geraint Thomas was out there. Jo Rowsell is making sure

:30:56.:31:03.

she is physically ready for this as well as mentally. You are pretty

:31:03.:31:09.

much thinking about the race, thinking about each turn, you

:31:09.:31:14.

breaking down in two stages, each turn you think about delivering it

:31:14.:31:17.

well and worry about your own job and heads the league the other

:31:17.:31:22.

girls do theirs. This there anything left to be discussed?

:31:22.:31:26.

don't think so, all the hard work, the training, has been done.

:31:26.:31:31.

Everybody knows how to ride it, it is just a matter of staying focused

:31:31.:31:41.
:31:41.:31:41.

and delivering. The techniques, the tactics, you think the coach is

:31:41.:31:45.

saying every lap is one-tenth of a second every lap feedback so you

:31:45.:31:49.

have to know it down to a tenth of a second how you will ride the 16

:31:50.:31:59.

laps, or in the case of the women, 12 laps. We can see them gearing up

:31:59.:32:04.

for this. It is worth mentioning Wendy, she was a silver medallists

:32:04.:32:07.

in Beijing. Such is the ferocious power of these three she doesn't

:32:07.:32:11.

get a look-in. It is similar to Andy Tennant as far as the men's

:32:11.:32:17.

team pursuit team, very much part of the team, and imported Kohl but

:32:17.:32:22.

they don't get the chance to ride when it matters. It was unfortunate

:32:22.:32:30.

that he missed out but that is the way it goes. He was a key member,

:32:30.:32:36.

for morale, the training sessions. When I was a bit ill last week I

:32:36.:32:43.

set out and he stepped in and did a great job. It is definitely a whole

:32:43.:32:50.

squad of people, not just those racing on the track. Four years ago

:32:50.:32:54.

in Beijing there wasn't even this event, when they brought this team

:32:54.:32:57.

together and they started training and working towards Olympic glory,

:32:57.:33:06.

how involved were you? With women? Did they can see for support and

:33:06.:33:14.

advice -- do they come to you? talked to us quite a bit, but they

:33:14.:33:19.

have got one of the best coaches, he only won four years ago, still

:33:19.:33:23.

fresh, he knows what to do. Dull staff, the whole system has looked

:33:23.:33:27.

after them really well. All they have got to worry about is getting

:33:27.:33:34.

on the bike and pedalling. Paul has done a great job with the team.

:33:34.:33:39.

Lots of questions coming in on Twitter, asking why one rider start

:33:39.:33:48.

in the gate and the other two don't. Another one of my fact files. The

:33:48.:33:53.

person on the lowest part of the track starts, the other riders

:33:53.:33:57.

cannot start until they do. It is the start gate and automatically

:33:57.:34:07.
:34:07.:34:07.

releases the bike. If a rider tries to go before that it is detrimental,

:34:07.:34:13.

it will affect them. If they go after, they will fall off, and it

:34:13.:34:17.

means they cannot jump the start. It is not so important for the guys

:34:17.:34:20.

above because they cannot start to will the person on the bottom

:34:20.:34:24.

starts. You could have a gate, you could have four days but to get

:34:24.:34:28.

that off the track in time before the other team has got round would

:34:28.:34:36.

be complicated. Perfect for, another wonderful explanation. What

:34:36.:34:40.

of people looking for? What is the perfect race? Pretty much getting

:34:41.:34:46.

up to their speed you can sustain for the 12 laps, 16 laps, and flat

:34:46.:34:56.
:34:56.:34:56.

lining it. It is all about keeping that speed as high as possible.

:34:56.:35:01.

This house without possible. That is what Marquez been explaining,

:35:01.:35:04.

one writer starting in the gate, two of them starting further up the

:35:04.:35:14.
:35:14.:35:19.

New Zealand. The team of New Zealand is Laura Ellis, Jamie

:35:19.:35:23.

Neilsen and Alison Jacques. For the Netherlands it is Vera Koedooder,

:35:23.:35:30.

Amy Pieters and Ellen Van Dyke. In the previous round the New

:35:30.:35:38.

Zealand's, 3.18 0.514. The Netherlands will have to find

:35:38.:35:47.

somebody here if they are going to challenge to New Zealand team.

:35:47.:35:56.

Alison shanks got them off to a solid start, already in the lead.

:35:56.:36:04.

Moving away. Benevolence settling down to the task in hand, -- the

:36:04.:36:12.

Netherlands. Alison shanks is a powerful rider. She could play

:36:12.:36:19.

quite a significant part in this contest. They are already one

:36:19.:36:22.

second in the lead. You can see a little bit of daylight, it has cost

:36:22.:36:31.

them. The first two kilometres bit, New Zealand are there. -- kilometre

:36:31.:36:39.

split. Ever-so-slightly faster than their opening kilometre in the last

:36:39.:36:45.

round. They are going ahead of their schedule. Slightly quicker

:36:45.:36:48.

than they were perhaps expecting to go. Let's hope they haven't gone

:36:48.:36:54.

out too fast. Nearly two seconds in the lead now. Pretty soon they will

:36:54.:36:58.

be able to see the back of the team from the Netherlands, that is a

:36:58.:37:08.
:37:08.:37:12.

great incentive. They will start to get some assistance. The contest

:37:12.:37:18.

continues here. It is New Zealand profiting from a good start and

:37:18.:37:27.

they certainly have got the Netherlands now. At I cannot see

:37:27.:37:31.

them pegging them back. kilometre remaining in this race.

:37:31.:37:37.

They are pretty much in the same straight, disaster for New Zealand

:37:37.:37:41.

to lose this, they have got to keep it together. They have got room to

:37:41.:37:51.
:37:51.:37:57.

spare. 2:16 we five. The perfect spur for the three from New Zealand

:37:57.:38:02.

to try and raise their game in the closing stages. A lot of this about

:38:02.:38:10.

backing up, it being able to ride as fast again in the next race. The

:38:10.:38:15.

Netherlands haven't managed to do that. We are really into the final

:38:15.:38:23.

stages now. New Zealand are going to win this. It means they will

:38:23.:38:31.

finish 5th overall in the competition. Here they come. New

:38:31.:38:37.

Zealand coming up to the line now, let's have a look at the time. That

:38:37.:38:44.

brings them the clash against the Netherlands. The New Zealanders

:38:44.:38:49.

finished 5th overall in this Olympic Games team pursuit

:38:49.:38:59.
:38:59.:39:03.

images of the starting effort of the Dutch. The bike securely

:39:03.:39:11.

clamped, only releases when the time on the clock runs out. A false

:39:11.:39:21.
:39:21.:39:23.

start if a right to start before this. -- rider. Two more rides to

:39:23.:39:32.

go. The bronze and the contest for the Olympic title. The Australia

:39:32.:39:38.

just preparing. Getting shots of the British riders. Dani King who

:39:38.:39:48.
:39:48.:39:49.

is just circus in -- circling in the middle. Joanna Rowsell up there

:39:49.:39:53.

as well. They were just relax before they get called to the line.

:39:54.:39:58.

This is to ride off for the bronze medal, in Australia starting in the

:39:58.:40:05.

home straight. Edmondson, Melissa Hoskins, Josephine Tomich. The

:40:05.:40:09.

opponents in the back straight will be the team from Canada, they have

:40:09.:40:15.

been riding very well, the Canadian trio. There will be Tara Whitton,

:40:15.:40:25.
:40:25.:40:26.

Gillian Carleton, and Jasmin Glaesser. Australia in the previous

:40:26.:40:36.
:40:36.:40:43.

round went three with 16 with nine, starting in the home straight. On

:40:43.:40:46.

the right of a screen starting in the back straight, the team from

:40:46.:40:54.

Canada. This is the ride for the bronze medal. The riders but all

:40:54.:40:59.

their weight back and they get the timing exactly right. If you get

:40:59.:41:03.

that wrong it can cost you a lot. It is worth all the training to get

:41:03.:41:11.

it right. You have your momentum moving forward when the gate opens.

:41:11.:41:15.

Canada have started quicker, work for Australia to close the Dow.

:41:15.:41:19.

Still a long way to go. Waiting for the first kilometre at Split. The

:41:19.:41:24.

time doesn't matter, it is all about beating your opponent. It is

:41:25.:41:30.

still cannot get looking good at this stage. The Australians very

:41:30.:41:34.

technically good on the track, great changes, plenty of height,

:41:34.:41:39.

takes a lot of confidence to do that. They look like a well-drilled

:41:39.:41:49.
:41:49.:42:05.

unit. The Canadians not bad. and went ahead. Canada, 0.18 behind.

:42:05.:42:09.

These are the team as the British thought would be a threat coming

:42:09.:42:15.

into the competition. Australia will be looking to salvage

:42:15.:42:21.

something. They hope to be vying for a gold medal. It is very close

:42:21.:42:28.

between these two teams. As we expected. We knew it was going to

:42:28.:42:33.

be a good fight and that is exactly how it is proving to be. Now Canada

:42:33.:42:39.

are beginning to turn the screw again. They have gone ahead. They

:42:40.:42:45.

are neck and neck at the moment. Australia took the steadier start,

:42:45.:42:54.

that will help them in the latter stages. Canada just trailing.

:42:54.:43:04.
:43:04.:43:19.

second kilometres split coming up. They are leading by a 0.01. They

:43:19.:43:29.
:43:29.:43:32.

have just done a monster upturn. It has given Canada the advantage, but

:43:32.:43:40.

it is not over. Australia are not lying down. Just one mistake and it

:43:40.:43:46.

could all be over. It is going to come down to a sprint finish.

:43:46.:43:54.

coach for the Australians is urging his riders to find a little more.

:43:54.:44:02.

We are into the closing laps. It is an nail-biter. It looks like Canada

:44:03.:44:10.

well when the bronze medal. It was so close, on the line. Canada get

:44:10.:44:19.

the bronze medal. What a scrap. They pulled back three-tenths of a

:44:19.:44:29.
:44:29.:44:30.

second in the final lap. The team from Canada are delighted with that

:44:30.:44:40.
:44:40.:44:41.

performance. Another 3.17 ride by Canada. Sheer consistency it. The

:44:41.:44:47.

coach for the Canadian team is delighted by that. Australia were

:44:47.:44:50.

the silver medal winners in the world championships earlier in the

:44:50.:44:57.

year. But to come away with a medal you have to put the disappointments

:44:57.:45:03.

behind you and focus with what you have to do. A very good ride by

:45:03.:45:11.

Canada. Australia just a little bit up and down in their pacemaking. A

:45:11.:45:17.

fantastic surge for the line, just left a little bit too late. Nice

:45:17.:45:25.

finishing technique as well. Just listen to the noise here. It is

:45:25.:45:30.

building and building because Great Britain are coming out onto the

:45:30.:45:36.

track. People are on their feet and the flowers are waving and we have

:45:36.:45:42.

not even started. That was the result of the bronze medal right.

:45:42.:45:51.

We now set up the final for the gold and the silver medals. The

:45:51.:45:56.

team is Dani Kane, Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell. Joanna Rowsell will

:45:57.:46:05.

get them under way. It would appear to me that they are recognising the

:46:06.:46:15.
:46:16.:46:22.

situation, cosmetic the, as you set another world record of 3.1

:46:22.:46:32.
:46:32.:46:39.

4.682. The Canadians are certainly on form as well. This is the final

:46:39.:46:49.
:46:49.:46:50.

of the women's 3000 metres team pursuit. The USA have got a good

:46:50.:46:59.

formula. But they are two seconds in areas of the British on paper.

:46:59.:47:06.

Already they have lost 0.7 of a second. An incredible start by

:47:06.:47:16.
:47:16.:47:16.

Joanna Rowsell. What could happen is if the USA start to fall behind,

:47:16.:47:20.

the Individual Pursuit champion could go to the front and assert

:47:20.:47:26.

her power and it could break up their formation. She is using that

:47:26.:47:36.
:47:36.:47:41.

power. They are spreading the work. The British squad are ahead and the

:47:41.:47:49.

United States are holding them. Great Britain are not as quick as

:47:49.:47:59.
:47:59.:48:00.

their world record, but they have put the United States 0.78 behind.

:48:00.:48:04.

Paul Manning is calling them the same schedule, so they are not

:48:05.:48:11.

after a world record. They are going to go just to try and get the

:48:11.:48:20.

gold medal. They really are moving. Little Laura Trott swings up to

:48:20.:48:24.

allow her team-mates to go through. This is a phenomenal ride by Great

:48:24.:48:31.

Britain. They have got a solid lead of two seconds. They do not need to

:48:31.:48:41.

do anything clever. They have spread it more evenly between them.

:48:41.:48:49.

They can almost see the tail end of the American team. They are flying.

:48:49.:48:55.

They have got 2.3 seconds advantage over the USA. What a fantastic

:48:55.:49:00.

sensation this must be in London in front of a home crowd. They can see

:49:00.:49:05.

the opposition in front of them. They are so close to getting a

:49:05.:49:12.

medal. Now they have got the ideal scenario because they can see the

:49:12.:49:18.

Americans. There are now pursuing their quarry. This is the ideal

:49:18.:49:24.

weight to tidy up the team pursuit. They could set another world record.

:49:24.:49:29.

They are absolutely flyer and the crowd are getting behind them. You

:49:29.:49:37.

can see the gap. The final 250 metres and Great Britain are the

:49:37.:49:41.

world champions and they are now going to become the Olympic

:49:41.:49:46.

champions or stop they are on fire. Here they come, take a look at

:49:46.:49:52.

their finishing time. Great Britain when the Olympic title and the gold

:49:52.:49:58.

medal and another world record. That means they have ridden the

:49:58.:50:01.

last six events and consecutive league they have posted six world

:50:01.:50:07.

records or stop Dani Kane, Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell are the

:50:07.:50:13.

Olympic champions. They have done exactly what the men did. If they

:50:13.:50:22.

go any faster they will need parachutes to show -- slowed down.

:50:22.:50:27.

To break a world record after such a short gap between the rounds is

:50:27.:50:37.
:50:37.:50:40.

incredible. There we are, the celebrations. That is Laura Trott's

:50:40.:50:50.
:50:50.:50:51.

Sestak. I remember where the little kids used to ride around the cones

:50:51.:50:57.

to see if they had talent. This little last came from that. She is

:50:57.:51:04.

the Omnium world champion. She will be riding in back later. It is a

:51:04.:51:10.

privilege to be in an arena like this. There is Dani Kane. They are

:51:10.:51:20.
:51:20.:51:21.

loving it. Milk the moment. What a fantastic experience to have. They

:51:21.:51:27.

have worked so hard for this. They have been so strong. The tears are

:51:27.:51:35.

beginning to appear now, it tears of celebration. Yes, you are an

:51:35.:51:41.

Olympic champion and a world champion as well. You would not bet

:51:41.:51:47.

against a Laura Trott winning two gold medals at these championships.

:51:48.:51:51.

There is Mark Cavendish, a very sportingly acknowledging the

:51:51.:51:59.

performance. And also Geraint Thomas. I wondered where Joanna

:51:59.:52:09.
:52:09.:52:12.

Rowsell was. Enjoy the moment. What a ride. Analytically, assess it.

:52:12.:52:16.

They're really pressurised the world record and they went under it.

:52:16.:52:21.

They changed the length of that turns and spread the workload

:52:21.:52:27.

around a bit differently. This time they had the advantage of being

:52:27.:52:33.

able to see the team and get some advantage from the slipstream. That

:52:33.:52:40.

visual incentive is what made the difference. 5.67 seconds is the

:52:40.:52:50.
:52:50.:52:55.

winning margin. These celebrations could go on for a long time. The

:52:55.:53:04.

crowd love it. Look who is there. They are all here watching it. The

:53:04.:53:14.

popularity of cycling is staggering. The number of cyclists is edging up

:53:14.:53:20.

to 55,000. Paul McCartney enjoying the moment with the British flag.

:53:20.:53:25.

We have had royalty, pop stars, politicians, everybody wants to be

:53:25.:53:31.

in the Velodrome. They all want to be part of the cycling action. That

:53:31.:53:39.

was an enthralling event. That transcends the previous calls I

:53:39.:53:45.

have made on these three and that is some statement. Consistent every

:53:45.:53:52.

time. They were nearly three- quarters of a second in the league

:53:52.:53:57.

with en two laps and that must be devastating for the other team.

:53:57.:54:05.

Once they have established that, that is it. That is a huge margin.

:54:05.:54:11.

Forget the schedule, go on, girls, just chase them down. It would be

:54:11.:54:17.

nice to hear what the winning side has to say. They are going towards

:54:17.:54:26.

at Jill Douglas. That is Laura Trott. Many congratulations. The

:54:26.:54:31.

first words used said where, we did it. How do you like the sound of

:54:31.:54:37.

that? World and now Olympic champions? It is mad, I cannot

:54:37.:54:42.

believe it. It has been my dream since I was eight and we have just

:54:42.:54:49.

gone and done it. You said before this was not 18, it is a family.

:54:49.:54:54.

is, we are like sisters and I could not have done it without them. It

:54:54.:55:00.

is amazing. A you talked about getting up to speed and you

:55:00.:55:05.

experienced the wall of noise and it was better than that. He it

:55:05.:55:09.

really was. They were just shirting so loud it spurred us on the last

:55:09.:55:14.

kilometre it will stop six world records in the last six competitive

:55:14.:55:22.

riots. Really amazing. I do not think we expected it. I think we

:55:22.:55:25.

expected it here in one of the rounds, but not in every single

:55:25.:55:35.
:55:35.:55:38.

ride. Go and collect your medals, I imagine the smiles and the

:55:38.:55:45.

giggles will last for an off a long time. The Fab Three. A remarkable

:55:45.:55:49.

performance. Your thoughts? Incredible, it is the first team

:55:49.:55:55.

pursuit I have watched in a long time. It was just amazing to see it

:55:55.:56:00.

unfold. The atmosphere again is crazy, it is doing my head in, to

:56:00.:56:10.
:56:10.:56:18.

be honest. Unbelievable, over the Three kilometres, only 12 laps of

:56:18.:56:25.

the trap, they went out, they went the fastest ever the first, to but

:56:25.:56:31.

they kept building. It was incredible. Once you get the other

:56:31.:56:36.

team in sight you will gain more and more. To back that up, it was

:56:36.:56:41.

fantastic. What a start from Jo Rowsell. To go a second quicker

:56:42.:56:46.

your -- then your opponent, that is laying down a marker. A big

:56:46.:56:52.

advantage. Having somebody that can start that fast and be able to soak

:56:52.:56:58.

it up, and keep going all the way to the end, is a massive advantage.

:56:58.:57:05.

She set the goals it really well. - - girls. It is about making sure

:57:05.:57:10.

the tactics work. We saw quite a big change compared to the last

:57:10.:57:17.

round where they were doing much shorter terms. The women do one, to

:57:17.:57:22.

less but they have won riderless. For the many star with four, the

:57:22.:57:28.

women only start with three. You cannot sacrifice somebody, they

:57:28.:57:34.

simply get harder for a shot a rout of time. They have to analyse and

:57:34.:57:39.

set out the tactics. He won the gold medal last night, how good

:57:39.:57:45.

does it feel when it is working like this? It is just a unit.

:57:45.:57:49.

Everybody is thinking the same, you are all on the same page and it

:57:49.:57:55.

just flows. The faster you go, sometimes the easier it gets,

:57:55.:58:02.

smooth things out, an incredible feeling. Paul Wood walking a month,

:58:02.:58:12.
:58:12.:58:12.

they were on schedule all the way. They have a schedule am not sure

:58:12.:58:20.

what lap splits they would be doing, and he will walk one step away so

:58:20.:58:29.

they know they are a 10th up on schedule. It is pretty precise.

:58:29.:58:35.

That is what all hard work and ours goes to. You can see how much they

:58:35.:58:39.

work together. When they have seen the families they get together,

:58:39.:58:43.

they want to celebrate, it is beautiful. I was nearly crying,

:58:43.:58:47.

good job the camera wasn't on me. There is Paul who knows what it

:58:47.:58:51.

takes to win an Olympic medal and there is Dani King, fist in the air,

:58:51.:58:55.

a huge smile. Is that the moment when it starts to sink in, when you

:58:55.:59:04.

get the chance to celebrate with your parents? It is great having

:59:04.:59:08.

your family there, especially the girls, they are emotional

:59:08.:59:18.

characters. That support for them is amazing, as it is for us. You

:59:18.:59:24.

cross the line, it is strange, it is euphoria, you are happy and

:59:24.:59:29.

excited but at the same time it is weird, is still hasn't sunk in now,

:59:29.:59:33.

to be honest. All the year has been building to that one day and

:59:33.:59:36.

suddenly it is so that you have achieved it, but it takes a while

:59:36.:59:39.

to sink in. You'd better watch out because they are getting quicker

:59:39.:59:44.

and quicker, they will start being the start of the track before long.

:59:44.:59:47.

Ingesting this dynamic and folding. It is not just in here where people

:59:47.:59:56.

are on their feet, there are two and this remarkable new world

:59:56.:00:00.

record and outside. The action is unfolding in the main Olympic

:00:00.:00:04.

Stadium. Hundreds of thousands of people out there. This is what

:00:04.:00:07.

happened to them that the girls crossed the line, picked up the

:00:07.:00:11.

gold medal, broke the world record, you can see the fans watching the

:00:11.:00:17.

big screen, flags in the air. When these Olympic Games for one in 2005

:00:17.:00:27.
:00:27.:00:27.

these were shot we dreamt about. were sat in our hotel, we all

:00:27.:00:32.

crowded round a little TV, and to imagine this, imagine our country

:00:32.:00:38.

hosting the Olympics, it is not even once in a lifetime, once in

:00:38.:00:42.

many generations, to bring it to the city, this country, see the him

:00:42.:00:46.

out of people supporting it, it is just beautiful. -- it see the

:00:46.:00:51.

amount of people. Every athlete wants to represent this country,

:00:51.:00:57.

Dick Brown. We will see the medals being awarded in just a moment.

:00:57.:01:05.

This is just having a snapshot into your lives, where all the effort,

:01:05.:01:09.

all the hard work peeks at this moment. Give us an insight into the

:01:10.:01:13.

effort for the past few years and the girls as well, this remarkable

:01:13.:01:20.

effort to achieve the greatest thing. November we were in a hotel

:01:20.:01:23.

in Manchester, A&E live half-an- hour down the road but we all had

:01:23.:01:33.
:01:33.:01:35.

to go there, I spent nine months on the road. We were not allowed to go

:01:35.:01:44.

to a Ariana concert. It has been a long year. It was intense. They

:01:44.:01:49.

were on our backs all the way through. To sit here now with this

:01:49.:01:54.

around my neck makes it all worthwhile. We were up at eight in

:01:55.:01:59.

the morning, two or three times a week, training in the cold and rain

:01:59.:02:04.

in Manchester. Definitely a lot of hard work and easy to forget all

:02:04.:02:08.

that and look at the here and now and when we are going fast but it

:02:08.:02:11.

is good to look back and realise what we have gone through, it has

:02:11.:02:19.

been a long journey. It is worth it though. Definitely. What an amazing

:02:19.:02:25.

day, four gold medals won in this Velodrome. The British love affair

:02:25.:02:30.

with cycling continues. The love affair of this venue, the

:02:30.:02:36.

Velodrome, if you have got a ticket you're in for an absolute treat.

:02:36.:02:41.

Still two days to go and surely more gold medals to come. You can

:02:42.:02:45.

see there are loads of people at the Olympic Park heading into the

:02:45.:02:50.

stadium, many in front of the big screen because Jessica Ennis and Mo

:02:50.:02:53.

Farah are both going for gold later this evening. We are guaranteed

:02:53.:02:57.

medals tomorrow at Wimbledon with Andy Murray facing Roger Federer in

:02:57.:03:01.

the men's singles final and Andy Murray back on court with Flora

:03:01.:03:06.

Robson for the mixed doubles final, because earlier Laura Robson

:03:06.:03:12.

finished it off in style, defeating Sabine Lisicki and Christopher Kas

:03:12.:03:15.

to go through to the mixed doubles final, wonderful scenes at

:03:15.:03:20.

Wimbledon. They will face Azarenka and Max Mirnyi or Lisa Raymond and

:03:20.:03:25.

Mike O'Brien of the United States. Andy Murray was in tears yesterday

:03:25.:03:29.

when he beat Novak Djokovic. He is into the final of the men's singles

:03:29.:03:33.

and now the mixed doubles final, wonderful scenes on Centre Court

:03:33.:03:41.

today. And after the match they spoke to Jonathan Leverenz. -- over

:03:41.:03:48.

end. What a day. Well done, fantastic. I don't think I have

:03:48.:03:51.

ever been that nervous here at Wimbledon before. Are you feeling

:03:51.:04:00.

that? You are probably not nervous. It is just different. Playing

:04:00.:04:04.

doubles. It is a different sort of pressure but we played really well

:04:04.:04:10.

when it mattered, at the end of the tie-breaks, those nerves there, but

:04:10.:04:13.

we played really good stuff at the end, we deserved to win the match

:04:13.:04:16.

and I am happy we did because if it had gone the other way it would

:04:16.:04:21.

have been really disappointing. person who did pay particularly

:04:21.:04:26.

well is next tee -- play. This must feel, he has already got his medal,

:04:26.:04:32.

he has got everything, but for you this is fantastic. It has been

:04:32.:04:35.

incredible. Just to be playing the singles I was pretty happy with

:04:35.:04:39.

that, and before that I thought I was playing doubles and now I am in

:04:39.:04:43.

all three. We are guaranteed a medal, I couldn't ask for anything

:04:43.:04:48.

else. What a feeling to be able to serve it out and hold those big

:04:48.:04:53.

service points at the end of both matches. Yes, for once my serve

:04:53.:05:00.

went in when it mattered. I went for it and we played really well at

:05:00.:05:04.

the end of the tie-break in both matches. What were you saying to

:05:04.:05:07.

calm the nerves that Laura understandably must have been

:05:07.:05:12.

feeling. I was just trying to tell her to take her time, when we won

:05:12.:05:20.

the points, says some words she has probably not heard before, but that

:05:20.:05:25.

may be settled us down, relax this. I just really wanted to win, both

:05:25.:05:31.

of us did. A very emotional end to the match but she said great on the

:05:31.:05:35.

last two point and gave me a chance to try to take control and that is

:05:35.:05:40.

what we needed to do. Not your average day preparing for a five-

:05:40.:05:46.

set final against Roger Federer. will see, it has been different to

:05:46.:05:50.

what I would usually do but I enjoyed today, I have enjoyed the

:05:50.:05:55.

whole event and tomorrow is pretty much the perfect end to the

:05:55.:06:00.

tournament for me. Try and win both. Fantastic. From your point of view

:06:00.:06:04.

I sense really into the whole Olympic fever, how inspired have

:06:04.:06:07.

you been with everything going on the last few days? You have got

:06:07.:06:11.

there just to add to that. I have been watching everything, just

:06:11.:06:16.

before we went on this morning I watched the guys win the rolling.

:06:16.:06:24.

Have elite we will be able to add to that tomorrow. -- rolling. --

:06:24.:06:31.

rowing. Busy day tomorrow. We are about to hear the national anthem

:06:31.:06:35.

for the 4th time. Let's go back to Hugh Porter.

:06:35.:06:41.

We are looking at the Teme of Canada here. That is Jasmin

:06:41.:06:45.

Glaesser, Gillian Carleton and Carole Whitty and who wrote

:06:45.:06:55.
:06:55.:07:00.

courageously to win the bronze They beat a Australia, they got the

:07:00.:07:06.

better of them in the closing stages. Winners of the bronze medal,

:07:06.:07:16.
:07:16.:07:16.

the team from Canada. That bronze- medal ride off was so fast it was

:07:16.:07:20.

quicker than the United States who got the silver. That just

:07:20.:07:25.

underlines what a fierce contest it was. The winners of the silver-

:07:25.:07:30.

medal art USA and first to get a medal is Sarah Hammer, a four-times

:07:30.:07:40.
:07:40.:07:47.

world individual pursuit champion, and go into his dog see which --

:07:47.:07:57.
:07:57.:08:01.

They have got to be happy with that right. With everything they could,

:08:01.:08:06.

there was no way they were going to be the Brits today. The Olympic

:08:06.:08:11.

champions and gold medal winners are the team from Great Britain. In

:08:11.:08:19.

a new world record. They have broken the world record in the last

:08:19.:08:25.

six races that they have taken place in. Dani King first to get

:08:25.:08:35.
:08:35.:08:37.

her gold medal. And now Laura Trott. And Joanna Rowsell. She plays her

:08:38.:08:43.

way out of the gate, but in the Great Britain team ahead. The world

:08:43.:08:53.
:08:53.:09:08.

champions and now they are the Ladies and gentlemen, we deeply

:09:08.:09:12.

stand for the national anthem of Great Britain. -- would you please

:09:12.:09:20.

stand. # God save our gracious Queen!

:09:20.:09:28.

# Long live our noble Queen! # God save the Queen!

:09:28.:09:38.
:09:38.:09:38.

# Send her victorious. # Happy and glorious.

:09:38.:09:48.
:09:48.:10:04.

# Long to reign over us. CHEERING. Ladies and gentlemen, the

:10:04.:10:13.

Olympic medallists. Wonderful moments, these. The crowd are

:10:13.:10:20.

energised by these performances. There are five more gold medals to

:10:20.:10:26.

be decided. Great Britain are in with a serious chance in all five.

:10:27.:10:30.

We have been looking at that while the presentation has been going on.

:10:30.:10:35.

Five gold medals so far, five more possible, everybody said Beijing, a

:10:35.:10:42.

gold medals, not possible. There is an outside chance, there would be

:10:42.:10:46.

unbelievable. The mud of conversations I have had, people

:10:46.:10:54.

are saying make the most of it. There are still other disciplines

:10:54.:11:01.

as well. We have got Shanaze Reade in the BMX who is one of the

:11:01.:11:11.
:11:11.:11:15.

greatest BMX riders in the world. Play a Beatles song and having one

:11:15.:11:19.

of the Beatles hear singing it to you, you cannot get any better it

:11:19.:11:29.
:11:29.:11:41.

than that! Three very, very happily -- happy ladies. Wonderful Saints

:11:41.:11:46.

in the Velodrome. Eight British singing star and three British

:11:46.:11:52.

Cycling stars. Congratulated us to all of them up from us. Danielle

:11:52.:11:56.

King, Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell. It is important for these

:11:56.:12:02.

three ladies to savour this moment. Building up to the Olympics for

:12:02.:12:08.

four years and they have been working. They have spent so much

:12:08.:12:17.

time away from their families. It has paid off. Laura Trott has still

:12:17.:12:25.

got one more event, she is the world champion in the Omnium.

:12:25.:12:32.

McCartney is enjoying it. You have got your hands on your

:12:32.:12:36.

gold medals and we could say what that meant to you. Absolutely

:12:36.:12:42.

everything. I am just ecstatic it feels amazing, I cannot believe we

:12:42.:12:47.

have done it. And the crowd joining in and Sir Paul McCartney leading

:12:47.:12:53.

the crowd, singing, but he is not the start of the show, your girls

:12:53.:12:59.

have had the stadium rocking like a football stadium. Yes, look at us.

:12:59.:13:06.

I cannot believe we did it. You can believe it because you have been

:13:06.:13:13.

dreaming about this. When did you realise it had become a reality?

:13:13.:13:19.

The last couple of laps we saw them, but you cannot believe it and tell

:13:19.:13:23.

you here began at the end. But I believed in us from the start. I

:13:23.:13:28.

knew we could do it will start just 12 laps of the track as fast as we

:13:29.:13:35.

could. It is all about this gold medal. We know how deep you have to

:13:35.:13:40.

go to get a performance like this. Often you are unwell after you come

:13:40.:13:47.

off the bike, but no problems today. It was the last thing I was

:13:47.:13:51.

thinking about, that was it, we just celebrated, I could not think

:13:51.:13:57.

about anything else. Can you even begin to think about the Omnium at

:13:57.:14:07.
:14:07.:14:10.

this stage? Now, I'd just keep thinking I am an Olympic champion.

:14:10.:14:16.

How wonderful, such joy. Mark and diet are struggling not to make use

:14:16.:14:22.

of these. The atmosphere it is special. You have trained for this

:14:22.:14:25.

event and you have been an endurance rider and you know the

:14:25.:14:28.

effort that has gone into this and you know why they are so happy and

:14:28.:14:33.

so proud of themselves. It is hours and hours of drills in a Velodrome

:14:34.:14:38.

and a gymnasium from seven in the morning until 10 o'clock at night.

:14:38.:14:42.

Just hours and hours and hours and the same thing getting it

:14:43.:14:46.

repetitively perfect and right and exactly how you want it to go on

:14:46.:14:50.

the day. But making sure that when you get into that one day you put

:14:50.:14:55.

everything you have learnt into practice. They did that and that is

:14:55.:15:01.

why they can be so happy. A It is amazing just to watch it. It really

:15:01.:15:07.

is, I had goose bumps. We have almost forgotten the cycling

:15:07.:15:11.

continues. We heard Laura talking about the fact she has to go

:15:11.:15:16.

straight into the Omnium and that continues today for Ed Clancy. The

:15:16.:15:21.

cycling keeps on coming. The at is what is so nice about track racing

:15:22.:15:28.

will stop it is like being in the stadium for the track and field.

:15:28.:15:34.

You have had 1 million people out on the roads on Saturday, but this

:15:34.:15:38.

is more like a gladiatorial sport, at where you can see the athletes

:15:38.:15:42.

in every single part of the race and that is why the big crowds are

:15:42.:15:48.

here. The if you have got a bike and a helmet, grab them and go out

:15:48.:15:53.

for a ride. You will see the continuation of the Omnium on BBC

:15:53.:15:57.

Three. It is one of the most dramatic and spectator friendly

:15:57.:16:03.

sports. I am going to hand back to you. It was a wonderful evening

:16:04.:16:09.

last night with Victoria Pendleton, but the mention here today might

:16:09.:16:17.

have just topped off the lot. What a lovely interview. Danielle

:16:17.:16:21.

King, Laura Trott, and Joanna Rowsell, the world champions and

:16:22.:16:27.

the Olympic gold. We are hoping for more success down

:16:27.:16:35.

at Weymouth with Ben Ainslie and Andrew Simpson. They had a day off

:16:35.:16:42.

today, but it has still been very busy doubt at Weymouth. Iain Percy

:16:42.:16:46.

and Anders Hansen are in the Star class and Ben Ainslie in the end of

:16:46.:16:52.

last had a day off. Time to think about their strategy before they

:16:52.:16:58.

battle for gold tomorrow. The FA when seven men and women are hotly

:16:58.:17:06.

tipped to win a medal next week. The windsurfers were also out. Paul

:17:06.:17:12.

Goodison has been struggling and today it was make or break. If he

:17:12.:17:18.

was going to keep his medal hopes alive, today he had to deliver.

:17:18.:17:23.

Today was the last day for the Laser sailors to make their mark in

:17:23.:17:27.

qualifying for the all-important medal races. Some sailors will be

:17:27.:17:31.

packing their bags and heading home, but the rest will be continuing on

:17:31.:17:38.

their quest for a podium position. Beijing gold medallist Paul

:17:38.:17:43.

Goodison has been rest -- wrestling with a back injury. Today he

:17:43.:17:53.

qualified for the medal race final, but he will not be on the podium.

:17:53.:17:56.

The Australians are already guaranteed a silver, but for him it

:17:56.:18:02.

has not been his wake. Alison Young has plenty to be proud about with a

:18:02.:18:07.

string of second places and a good medal race could see her inside the

:18:07.:18:14.

top five. But she has too many points for a podium finish. Today

:18:14.:18:18.

the women's match-racing team secured their place in the quarter-

:18:18.:18:22.

finals. Britain so nearly beat the Americans, but it does not matter

:18:22.:18:26.

because they are in the quarter- finals and it is a knockout

:18:26.:18:33.

competitions. Is it a relief to get through the round-robin stage?

:18:33.:18:37.

there is a massive relief and we are all feeling it now. But we

:18:38.:18:44.

start again on Tuesday and today it is a rest day. We have got to move

:18:44.:18:50.

forward. In the women's windsurfing Bryony Shaw is currently 7th

:18:50.:18:56.

overall. A Spanish sailor Leeds. In the men's division there is a

:18:56.:19:02.

runaway leader. He is from the Netherlands and is looking hard to

:19:02.:19:09.

catch. But Nick Dempsey is looking good to finish on the podium.

:19:10.:19:15.

Great news for Britain, Nick Dempsey has finished in third place.

:19:15.:19:21.

I am still in it and I'm sailing well. It is good to be up there,

:19:21.:19:27.

but that gold medal is getting further and further away. I need a

:19:27.:19:33.

special day tomorrow or we will be racing for second. British sailors

:19:33.:19:40.

in two other classes are also in silver medal position. There is

:19:41.:19:46.

something going on in the boat. It is a worry. They have not been able

:19:46.:19:52.

to go full speed. They have not been able to trim the spinnaker.

:19:53.:19:56.

The Italians are focused on speed and the British team are focused on

:19:57.:20:03.

something inside the boat. They have lost a lot of ground. It has

:20:03.:20:09.

cost them two places. But they lie second, just two points off the

:20:09.:20:14.

lead and they must have confidence about the remaining races.

:20:14.:20:21.

You were in the lead in the second race, but what happened? We had a

:20:21.:20:27.

clear failure. It is something we checked every day, but it came

:20:27.:20:33.

undone and we wasted a lot of time trying to fix it. To come away with

:20:33.:20:37.

a six was excellent damage- limitation. Exactly, that is what

:20:38.:20:43.

it is about. We had to grind out a result as best we could and we did

:20:43.:20:49.

that. We are still in the hunt. Things are still looking good for

:20:49.:20:59.
:20:59.:20:59.

the men. Tomorrow there is potential for a double gold.

:21:00.:21:05.

Joining me is the Olympic team manager Stephen Park. Plenty to

:21:05.:21:09.

look forward to next week and tomorrow. What are you expecting to

:21:09.:21:18.

see tomorrow from Iain Percy and Ben Ainslie? From them we will see

:21:18.:21:22.

them in a relatively conservative race. They have got an eight. Read
