:00:04. > :00:10.come. You have got a good night. am looking forward to it. It is
:00:10. > :00:15.coming thick and fast. Lovely to see you. I know we keep saying they
:00:15. > :00:20.are getting better and better by the day, but today has already seen
:00:20. > :00:25.some truly remarkable moments. Tonight we promise you more of.
:00:25. > :00:35.Jessica Ennis is going for gold, and Mo Farah will be the first
:00:35. > :00:35.
:00:35. > :01:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:01:22. > :01:28.British man to bid for a title in It is a huge night of athletics and
:01:28. > :01:33.we will be live for all the big moments. Mo Farah has been lapping
:01:33. > :01:39.up raised over the last 18 months, but he is up against the two-times
:01:39. > :01:46.defending champion and living legend Kenny Aliza Bekele. The
:01:46. > :01:52.poster girl of the Games, desert Ennis, has just one event to global
:01:52. > :01:56.stock she carries a healthy lead into the concluding 800m. It is
:01:56. > :02:02.nearly half a century since the Great Britain last medals in the
:02:02. > :02:10.men's long jump. Local girl Christine off Oregon continues the
:02:10. > :02:15.defence of her 400m title. She has a tough semi that includes Sanya
:02:15. > :02:21.Richards Ross. It is semi-final time as well for a world champion
:02:21. > :02:29.Dai Greene in the 400m hurdles. He needs a top two finish to be sure
:02:29. > :02:39.of a place in the finals. Jamaican sprint queens Shelly-Ann Fraser

:03:15. > :03:18.Here with us to look forward to what we hope will be an
:03:18. > :03:24.exceptionally good night inside the Olympic Stadium is Denise Lewis.
:03:24. > :03:34.There's show you how Jessica Ennis fared in the 5th and 6 disciplines
:03:34. > :03:37.
:03:37. > :03:47.Is the sun shining on Jessica Ennis in the end of the stadium? The
:03:47. > :03:48.
:03:48. > :03:52.stadium erupts. Oh, yes, it she nailed that jump. One step closer
:03:52. > :04:02.to the gold medal. The belief is growing now. She knows that was
:04:02. > :04:04.
:04:04. > :04:14.If she goes further than six metres 40 centimetres you can begin to
:04:14. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:30.hang the gold medal around her neck. 6.4 rate. -- 6.48. The moment is
:04:30. > :04:33.
:04:33. > :04:39.Jessica Ennis looking very calm and collected. She has been sending the
:04:39. > :04:44.crowd into delirium this morning. Listen to the crowd for Jessica
:04:44. > :04:52.Ennis. If she can nail this first throw we can begin to think about
:04:52. > :04:57.gold medals. It is flying. What a start for the Sheffield Star. The
:04:57. > :05:06.crowd are responding just to the site of Jessica Ennis, for the
:05:06. > :05:12.third and last time. What a morning she has had. A new lifetime best,
:05:12. > :05:17.47.49. She has stood tall, strong, she might have the chance to do the
:05:18. > :05:27.glory run. All smiles for the Olympic champion elect, just one
:05:28. > :05:32.
:05:32. > :05:38.event to go and I cannot wait. surely has an unassailable lead
:05:38. > :05:48.going into the 7th and final event. 188 points sheet by. We have got
:05:48. > :05:53.just the person to tell us how She is on the verge. She is on the
:05:53. > :05:58.verge, on the cusp. But having to really dig deep in that long jump
:05:59. > :06:02.was sensational. It was really great to watch her. She just use
:06:02. > :06:09.the energy of the crowd. She looked in acknowledgement at what they
:06:09. > :06:14.have done for her this last couple of days. It was priceless. The
:06:14. > :06:18.javelin, somebody who just one year ago was having a disaster has
:06:18. > :06:27.tended round to just something really special. She has got a date
:06:27. > :06:31.with destiny. We are all a little bit concerned because there was so
:06:31. > :06:36.much expectation on her shoulders that acquired Cindy Butts rather
:06:36. > :06:42.than inspire her. She has shown how to use the crowd to their benefit.
:06:42. > :06:46.She is very level-headed, very measured in her approach, she has
:06:46. > :06:51.got a competitive spirit like no other. When you are ready and ready
:06:51. > :06:58.to win you just absorb that energy and it makes you stronger and more
:06:58. > :07:05.able to do what you do best. points, how far is that in track
:07:05. > :07:12.terms, what lead dish she have? has got enough. What is special
:07:12. > :07:17.about that points difference is she can enjoy the 800m and let the
:07:17. > :07:21.crowds help her rounds. It really does depend what her coach has said
:07:21. > :07:25.to her in the final couple of hours. It is either run your heart out,
:07:25. > :07:35.you have done what you have come to do, just enjoy it. What ever you
:07:35. > :07:39.
:07:39. > :07:49.Let's look back on another thrilling Day at Eton Dorney. Kate
:07:49. > :08:00.
:08:00. > :08:04.Copland and Sophie Hosking going women's lightweight double sculls
:08:04. > :08:13.and Great Britain are in lane six, they will be closest to us. The
:08:13. > :08:23.world champions, Greece, are there. Katherine Copeland and Sophie
:08:23. > :08:31.
:08:32. > :08:38.Edging up into first place! They are leading the Olympic final at
:08:38. > :08:45.Eton Dorney and they haven't even started this print! They can do
:08:45. > :08:51.this -- their sprint! They just have to believe. Great Britain are
:08:51. > :08:56.starting to get away! Sophie Hosking, Katherine Copeland, they
:08:56. > :09:02.came together this year and they have formed a fabulous partnership.
:09:02. > :09:07.Hold on, girls! It is yours! The is could be Britain's third women's
:09:07. > :09:17.gold medal of these Olympics, but the first ever women's lightweight
:09:17. > :09:22.gold medals. This is history in terms of rowing. Great Britain have
:09:22. > :09:28.only 25 strokes remaining and they are the Olympic champions! The
:09:28. > :09:35.whole of the Eton Dorney is going absolutely mad. Katherine
:09:35. > :09:40.Copeland's first ever senior race. Greece fighting back past China to
:09:40. > :09:47.try to get into the silver medal position. Sophie Hosking and
:09:47. > :09:51.Katherine Copeland, up to the line! They are the Olympic champions! An
:09:51. > :09:57.incredible, incredible race! They go into the record books and they
:09:57. > :10:04.have who glorious this morning at Eton Dorney! They cannot believe
:10:04. > :10:14.what they have done. That is what it means to be an Olympic champion!
:10:14. > :10:15.
:10:15. > :10:25.I cannot believe it is real, that we just won! I don't know... We
:10:25. > :10:34.
:10:34. > :10:40.Notice now, just smiles. I am delighted be joined by Katherine
:10:40. > :10:44.Copeland and Sophie Hosking. The mixture of delight and disbelief
:10:44. > :10:50.almost in your face is at the end was quite something. Yeah, I mean,
:10:50. > :10:54.we knew what we could do but we had been so focused on delivering a
:10:54. > :10:59.performance, and then when we crossed the line it was the
:10:59. > :11:05.realisation of what we had achieved. It hasn't sunk in yet. It is just
:11:05. > :11:10.fantastic. Lovely scenes. You were both trying to sing the national
:11:10. > :11:17.anthem and you could not quite manage it! You will blubbering! It
:11:17. > :11:22.is the culmination of a lifetime's work. It must be wonderful. I think
:11:22. > :11:26.as well to me, everything has happened so quickly. Like, when I
:11:26. > :11:30.started this year, I really wanted to give it a shot to try to get
:11:30. > :11:34.onto the team because I thought I would regret it forever if I did
:11:34. > :11:39.not try, and it didn't feel real when I got to the team, and then
:11:39. > :11:46.when we won, I don't think I have processed it yet. To see my mum and
:11:46. > :11:51.dad and my coach and everyone in the stands, it was just... Amazing.
:11:51. > :11:55.Everybody says the crowd at Eton Dorney is unbelievable. It is
:11:55. > :12:01.fantastic. We experienced it in the heats in the semi-final and that
:12:01. > :12:06.prepared us to be ready for it. But it was louder today. It is better
:12:06. > :12:10.than any event I have ever race that. The support of the nation
:12:10. > :12:15.behind you is just fantastic and we would like to thank everyone who
:12:15. > :12:24.has come down to watch. It is really amazing. Eyes sought James
:12:24. > :12:29.Cracknell, I heard him on the radio, -- I saw James Cracknell. He was
:12:30. > :12:36.saying you seemed to exceed expectations. I think, when it
:12:36. > :12:41.comes to events like this, it sort of comes out and you just see the
:12:41. > :12:45.final race, the public. I certainly did not come here expecting to win
:12:45. > :12:52.but we all trained so hard and we train every day and we have such a
:12:52. > :12:57.good group, and I always thought it was possible. It certainly was. It
:12:58. > :13:01.was brilliant, magnificent. On behalf of the country, thank you, a
:13:01. > :13:06.well done. That was not the only triumph for
:13:06. > :13:10.Great Britain. The flagship men's four crashed a challenge from
:13:10. > :13:20.Australia to win a fourth successive Olympic gold medal in
:13:20. > :13:20.
:13:20. > :13:24.the event. After an aborted start, Mark Hunter and Zac Purchase were
:13:24. > :13:31.denied a hat-trick as Denmark edged them into silver in the lightweight
:13:31. > :13:41.double sculls. The recent gold rush has ensured that Great Britain
:13:41. > :13:45.
:13:45. > :13:53.finished on top of the rowing medal exceeded. A magnificent effort from
:13:53. > :14:00.Clare and Mark will be on the red button with the last night of the
:14:00. > :14:04.swimming from 7:15pm. I will have Ian Thorpe alongside me later, as
:14:04. > :14:07.we dig in and out of the swimming pool, but for now let's get back to
:14:07. > :14:12.the athletics stadium, where John Inverdale is looking forward to
:14:12. > :14:20.what should be a very special evening indeed. Saturday night
:14:20. > :14:28.Olympic fever, this is the straps at inferno! We are ridiculously
:14:28. > :14:32.excited. Mo and Jess at this evening. Ridiculously excited. I
:14:32. > :14:38.will show this statistic at you, Michael and Colin. You will say,
:14:38. > :14:43.really? The last British athlete, because we could get two gold
:14:43. > :14:47.medals in the stadium tonight, and the last British athlete to win a
:14:47. > :14:54.track and field gold medal in London was... You won't know. We
:14:54. > :15:04.did not get any in 1948. Wyndham has well got a walkover in the 400m
:15:04. > :15:11.
:15:11. > :15:17.in 19 oh wait! We have waited 104 years -- 19 oh -- 1908. That is
:15:17. > :15:24.longer than Wimbledon! Dai Greene will be on the track very shortly.
:15:25. > :15:29.Good evening. Hallows. Steve Cram. Good evening indeed. -- hello.
:15:29. > :15:39.are all nervous. Building up to what we hope will be a cracking
:15:39. > :15:53.
:15:54. > :15:59.evening. Dai Greene is first on has a pretty good job but he has
:15:59. > :16:09.some big names. Felix Sanchez, the Olympic champion from 80 is a gold.
:16:09. > :16:12.
:16:12. > :16:22.Gordon, a brilliant talent, still only 20 years of old. Angelo Taylor
:16:22. > :16:46.
:16:46. > :16:56.came through to win it last time in their flag in the opening ceremony.
:16:56. > :16:59.
:16:59. > :17:06.And the Senegalese in lane nine, yesterday, Dai Greene was actually
:17:06. > :17:11.in lane one. Much better to be in lane seven. The first two only. The
:17:11. > :17:16.two fastest will be through to the final from the three semi-finals.
:17:16. > :17:21.He has found his best form of the season, finally in Paris. He needs
:17:21. > :17:26.to run something like that. He was close to Kriss Akabusi's British
:17:26. > :17:32.record on that night, but he still finished second. It was the Dai
:17:32. > :17:41.Greene that we saw last year, world champion, European champion,
:17:41. > :17:51.Commonwealth champion, Olympic semi-final... He needs to get this
:17:51. > :18:26.
:18:26. > :18:32.200 on the inside. Clement forcing Dai Greene to pick it up. Sanchez
:18:32. > :18:36.hit that hard. Dai Greene has some work to do! Sanchez is flying!
:18:36. > :18:44.Gordon and Clement are struggling. Dai Greene has got to pick it up!
:18:44. > :18:54.He has got a lot of ground to make up! Sanchez is flying! Dai Greene,
:18:54. > :18:56.
:18:56. > :19:01.only fourth. I am not sure where that came from from Sanchez. 47.76.
:19:01. > :19:09.Dai Greene holds his head in his hands. He wonders if his Olympic
:19:09. > :19:14.dream is over. He could not have expected that. We said it was a
:19:14. > :19:19.tough, tough semi-final, but goodness me, where did Sanchez get
:19:19. > :19:29.that from? That is almost one second quicker than he has run all
:19:29. > :19:35.year. You can see Dai Greene thinking, could miss May... --
:19:35. > :19:40.goodness me. All have the better athletes were inside of him, so Dai
:19:40. > :19:45.was going to be the rabbit and unfortunately for him, they picked
:19:45. > :19:49.on him quickly, stepped on him, and drove all the way around. I know
:19:50. > :19:53.his coach will be watching this from the stand carefully and
:19:53. > :19:59.scrutinising what possibly could have gone wrong. His stride pattern
:19:59. > :20:06.was going to be 14 strides through the first six medals, and then at
:20:06. > :20:09.15! All the way home, and at this point he is cruising -- and then
:20:09. > :20:17.15! All the way home. Perhaps he did not realise how fast the others
:20:17. > :20:23.were coming up on him. He should have stayed on his left leg, no
:20:23. > :20:31.changes. 15 strides. But look at Kerron Clement inside him. We know
:20:31. > :20:37.he is fast on the flat. Dai will be frustrated and a little bit angry
:20:37. > :20:41.that he couldn't quite get up with the rest of these. Felix Sanchez
:20:41. > :20:47.has certainly returned to form though it. He has done more than
:20:47. > :20:51.return to form. He is a brilliant athlete. Sanchez dominated this
:20:51. > :20:58.event for so long but most people thought his best days were behind
:20:58. > :21:03.him, but he has run the quickest time in the world this year. 47.76.
:21:03. > :21:10.A new national record for the 20- year-old from Trinidad, Gordon.
:21:10. > :21:15.Clemente with this season's best. There are two fastest losers spots
:21:15. > :21:24.available. Dai is now still in the final but there are two more semi-
:21:24. > :21:29.It is a waiting game. What is going through your mind? I don't know. I
:21:29. > :21:35.can't believe it is. I could not catch them up on the home straight.
:21:35. > :21:42.I don't know. I should be better than that. I can't believe it. I am
:21:42. > :21:47.just devastated. I could see you been on the outside and not knowing
:21:47. > :21:53.what they are doing. Was that a factor? Perhaps. I thought I went
:21:53. > :21:57.off at a decent pace. I just... I just couldn't believe I wasn't
:21:57. > :22:03.closing them down. I just didn't feel right myself on the home
:22:03. > :22:07.straight. I am shocked. He can't put your finger on it as to why you
:22:07. > :22:16.did not finish. By bins, I will have to go back and
:22:16. > :22:19.have a look at it -- no. I am just devastated. Thank you for talking
:22:19. > :22:25.to us. It has been a day for watching
:22:25. > :22:30.sport, when you see every emotion from elation to shock. The 35-year-
:22:30. > :22:35.old producing form that we have not seen for a long time. There was no
:22:36. > :22:41.flow for Dai. He did not look so Rees moves on the back stretch. He
:22:41. > :22:45.never looked like himself in that race -- he did not look this move.
:22:46. > :22:51.He is not sure what went wrong. This was always going to be a very
:22:51. > :22:55.tough race, one of the toughest in the Olympics. Dai would have needed
:22:55. > :23:05.to treat us like a final. You would have thought he would have known
:23:05. > :23:11.
:23:11. > :23:15.that. Something has gone wrong. I I was expecting that when inclement
:23:15. > :23:20.was leading the race at 200 metres, he would make an adjustment, but he
:23:20. > :23:24.never did that. He was trying to keep his stride pattern, but
:23:24. > :23:29.normally when he comes off this curb, if you find themselves behind,
:23:29. > :23:35.Dai is a very strong and can find some strength and some speed. But
:23:35. > :23:44.for some reason it wasn't there. But remember that from Duiker, at
:23:44. > :23:50.we thought people would be saying, what is going on? It didn't
:23:51. > :23:56.materialise. He was expecting as well, he was expecting that to come
:23:56. > :24:02.through. It didn't happen for him. We will have to find out why a
:24:02. > :24:07.later. At this point, he doesn't look good. He is not out yet, it is
:24:07. > :24:11.the first two plus the two fastest losers, that was quick, but he will
:24:12. > :24:15.have to hope that the next two are not quick. If he does get in, he
:24:15. > :24:25.will not have a great Lane. But that is not the concern at this
:24:25. > :24:42.
:24:42. > :24:52.this second semi-final. Here is the moments ago, the fastest man in the
:24:52. > :24:58.
:24:59. > :25:04.the Olympic Games come when you get to the semi-finals, they are all
:25:04. > :25:12.tough. Jack Green, the 7th fastest British man in history, set a new
:25:12. > :25:18.lifetime best figure this year, aged just 20. Javier Culson, twice
:25:18. > :25:21.a world silver medallist, a superbly talented athlete. He lost
:25:21. > :25:29.his a fastest time in the world to Felix Sanchez, who made it look
:25:29. > :25:36.easy. No make-up, twice a European Championship bronze medallist. A
:25:36. > :25:41.very talented Cuban, Cisneros, the Cuban record holder, 48.21, he said
:25:41. > :25:48.that two years ago. He has come within half a second of that this
:25:48. > :25:56.year. Just a reminder, Dai Greene's time, 48.19. He is the second
:25:56. > :26:06.fastest loser at the moment. There are still two more semi-finals, and
:26:06. > :26:14.
:26:14. > :26:20.just a two fastest will make it Australian, is a good athlete as
:26:20. > :26:25.well. But Javier Culson, he has been running so well this year. He
:26:25. > :26:35.carried the pottery can flag at the opening ceremony. -- the Puerto
:26:35. > :26:55.
:26:55. > :27:05.Rico in a flag. He is unbeaten in in lane seven, twice the Olympic
:27:05. > :27:06.
:27:06. > :27:14.champion, and he has gone tearing down the back straight. Jack Green
:27:14. > :27:21.is out! Javier Culson, perhaps leaving at 200 metres, Angelo
:27:21. > :27:26.Taylor, a superb first 300 metres, but what has he got? He is a couple
:27:26. > :27:31.of strides ahead of the Javier Culson. The American, beginning to
:27:31. > :27:41.tie up a bit, this is where Javier Culson can come on strong. Cisneros,
:27:41. > :27:53.
:27:53. > :27:59.the Cuban, is also coming through and Jack Green's and a big games
:27:59. > :28:03.are over, before they got started - - Olympic Games. I was watching him
:28:03. > :28:07.down the back straight, he seemed to be reaching for the 13 stride
:28:08. > :28:16.pattern, they think he was too far away, and when he reached, he just
:28:16. > :28:23.clattered it. He was caught in between. Instead of going for it
:28:23. > :28:31.can be started into the barrier and banged into it. He had just come up
:28:31. > :28:35.-- it has just come up on the computer, Cisneros of Cuba, 48.23,
:28:35. > :28:40.so Dai Greene is still hanging in there as the second fastest loser.
:28:41. > :28:45.Which is good news indeed. But look at Angelo Taylor, the reminding --
:28:45. > :28:50.defending champion, we have always got to watch him, because he has
:28:50. > :28:55.basic flat speed. He can run about 44 seconds flat at this distance
:28:55. > :29:00.without the barriers. If he can just brush up on that technique, he
:29:00. > :29:06.is unstoppable. This is going to be one of the most competitive races
:29:06. > :29:16.of we will see on this track, no two ways about it. Jack Green, very
:29:16. > :29:28.
:29:28. > :29:34.angry indeed with himself. He paid Culson ran a 47.93 to win it.
:29:34. > :29:41.Cisneros is out of it. Dai Greene is still in with a chance of
:29:41. > :29:51.qualifying for the final. His appointment this time for jack
:29:51. > :29:54.
:29:54. > :29:59.What happened? I just got too close to the hotel, I hit it, and it is
:29:59. > :30:04.one of those things -- to the hurdle. We saw you stutter a little
:30:04. > :30:10.bit more was there a temptation to go for it? I think that was the
:30:10. > :30:15.problem, I did go for it, but there was a bit of a headwind. I think I
:30:15. > :30:19.tried to go a bit too hard, that is what you get. Stupid, a complete
:30:19. > :30:24.waste of time. We saw the grimace, did you think you had done
:30:24. > :30:28.something serious, injury wise? have always had a problem with my
:30:28. > :30:32.hip, it is the first thing will, but I'm far too angry for anything
:30:32. > :30:36.to her it right now a partner fact that I have not even finished a
:30:36. > :30:40.semi-final at the Olympics. Were you aware of what happened to Dai
:30:41. > :30:44.in the previous race? Yes, I'm sure he will go through with that time,
:30:44. > :30:51.it looks like he will, but that is not redeem our concern at the
:30:51. > :30:56.moment. We appreciate your honesty. What a dramatic start, although it
:30:56. > :30:59.not the drama we might have wanted. Dai Greene might be all right. The
:30:59. > :31:03.line-up in the third semi-final doesn't seem to be quick enough to
:31:03. > :31:09.actually displace him from one of the fastest loser places, but that
:31:09. > :31:13.is pre-empting what could happen. What happened to Jack Green could
:31:13. > :31:17.happen anytime, anyplace, couldn't it? That is the thing with Hoddle's,
:31:17. > :31:24.it is a very difficult event. Trying to get the steps right, this
:31:24. > :31:28.is the Olympics, and drank... That is a mistake right there,
:31:28. > :31:33.unfortunately it happens in the Olympic Games. He was on a decent
:31:33. > :31:38.pace at that point, it looks like he had a bit of a miss that before
:31:38. > :31:45.he went over that hurdle, so we can get his lead leg high enough to
:31:45. > :31:50.clear the barrier. A inexperience? On an occasion like this? May be so.
:31:50. > :31:56.It was a big deal, he would have thought he had an opportunity, he
:31:56. > :31:59.was in there with some fast guys, but you never know. The key thing
:31:59. > :32:05.now is what is going to happen in this third semi-final, without
:32:06. > :32:15.wishing ill on anybody, we don't want the third guide to run quicker
:32:16. > :32:21.
:32:21. > :32:31.than 48.19. We want Rees Williams his in lane three. -- that was the
:32:31. > :32:32.
:32:32. > :32:40.geer for Williams, who is in lane favourite, Michael Tinsley, for one
:32:40. > :32:49.the American trial. Brendan Cole has looked good here. A new
:32:49. > :32:59.personal best to make it through in fine start to the semi-final. -- in
:32:59. > :33:09.fine style. They are all a danger, we are watching for the first two,
:33:09. > :33:15.
:33:15. > :33:25.and will the third person be slower champion, from Nigeria. He is a big
:33:25. > :34:04.
:34:04. > :34:13.talent, but he has a horrid race early, from lane free. Michael
:34:13. > :34:20.Tinsley has started well. Williams has got to get a bit of a movement,
:34:20. > :34:30.it is a Michael Tinsley who is leading this. And green is having a
:34:30. > :34:32.
:34:32. > :34:42.straight, he always is. We have lost more to come I think his
:34:42. > :34:47.
:34:47. > :34:55.technique to come out side of the and look at that time, that means
:34:55. > :35:04.that Dai Greene will contest the final! It is going to be difficult
:35:04. > :35:09.for him. The three winners will get the best lanes in the final. After
:35:09. > :35:16.that, the two fastest losers, which will be Dai Greene and I am trying
:35:16. > :35:21.to think what else it was... Kerron Clement, he was the former world
:35:21. > :35:26.champion, those two will have the outside lanes. A quick word on
:35:26. > :35:30.Williams. He looked very strong, he ran a controlled race, because we
:35:30. > :35:35.know he is not the quickest over that first 200 metres. He makes a
:35:35. > :35:39.mistake coming into this barrier, ends up clattering it. He staggers
:35:39. > :35:42.off it, and that takes all your speed away. Still working hard to
:35:42. > :35:51.get into this race, but unfortunately, he will be
:35:51. > :35:56.disappointed with his result. talking about the lane draw, if
:35:56. > :36:01.Yori fastest loser, would it be two or nine? Yes, but you know what, it
:36:01. > :36:05.is better to have Alleyne in the final rather than sitting in the
:36:06. > :36:10.stand. If I was him, I would go for lane two. He hasn't got any choice,
:36:10. > :36:17.he will have to take what you get, I guess. But he will be a relieved
:36:17. > :36:24.man. If you look at this summary, he is the 6th fastest going into
:36:24. > :36:27.the final. I think the fact that Sanchez and Taylor and Gordon
:36:27. > :36:37.suddenly produced that super-fast time, that is what has taken
:36:37. > :36:50.
:36:50. > :36:58.What a dramatic start to the evening, good and bad. A bit of a
:36:58. > :37:08.sigh of relief as well. Tinsley, US champion. He had to work a little
:37:08. > :37:09.
:37:09. > :37:12.bit. The Green off Jamaica certainly frightened him. Winning
:37:13. > :37:19.their semi-final gives him the luxury of having one of the middle
:37:19. > :37:23.three lanes. Rhys Williams is taking a few moments to reflect
:37:23. > :37:29.before he comes up to do an interview, I think. While he does
:37:29. > :37:36.that, let's look back a few moments ago. We had the medal ceremony of
:37:36. > :37:39.the women's 10,000m. Tirunesh Dibaba became the first woman to
:37:39. > :37:46.successfully defend that title, winning her second gold medal at
:37:46. > :37:50.this event. She may now go to try to win the 5,000m as well.
:37:50. > :37:58.Unbelievably, she was only a reserve for that event coming into
:37:58. > :38:08.this Olympics. Tirunesh Dibaba, the champion.
:38:08. > :38:16.
:38:16. > :38:23.When you saw the time come up on the board, you should your head.
:38:23. > :38:29.What is going on? Are gave it my all. It wasn't good enough today. -
:38:29. > :38:35.- I gave it my all. It pains me to say that. I have had a great time
:38:35. > :38:39.but my journey has come to an end. I gave it my all. Yesterday it you
:38:39. > :38:44.were apologising, you thought you had not got the job done and you
:38:44. > :38:50.had, you made it on to another round. Did you see tonight as a
:38:50. > :38:55.chance of redemption? Of course. It was set up saw me. I had the
:38:55. > :39:01.easiest of the semi-finals. I saw where I went wrong earlier. I
:39:01. > :39:07.thought I executed it better today but I messed up on the last hurdle.
:39:07. > :39:17.For and you knew that Dai was in trouble. Yes, and I felt the weight
:39:17. > :39:25.
:39:25. > :39:31.of the world on my shoulders. Greene is one of the two fastest
:39:31. > :39:41.losers, him and Kerron Clement. They will draw for whether to get
:39:41. > :39:46.
:39:46. > :39:51.Dai Greene sneaks in by the skin of his teeth and stranger things have
:39:51. > :39:58.happened, then somebody getting through almost as a lucky loser and
:39:58. > :40:01.winning an Olympic title, so it is not all over. I did it in the 1999
:40:02. > :40:08.World Championships. Quarter-finals, trying to conserve as much as
:40:08. > :40:13.possible, having to qualify as the last person, but I won the world
:40:13. > :40:18.championships, so it can be done. Dai will analyse the race, try to
:40:18. > :40:22.figure out what went wrong, and tried to put it behind him. He will
:40:22. > :40:26.feel fortunate that he is in the final. He now has to put that
:40:26. > :40:36.behind him. He needs to make sure he does not make the same mistake
:40:36. > :40:40.tomorrow, which he will not do. he will have one or 8. 1, two,
:40:40. > :40:44.seven or eight. I would rather be on the inside, where you can see
:40:44. > :40:48.the rest of the competitors and have a little bit more control. You
:40:48. > :40:55.do not have to run as a freight and be trying to seal where they are
:40:55. > :41:00.the whole time -- as afraid. wide open is the gold medal? This
:41:00. > :41:06.is a very tough event. Javier Culson has been so very consistent
:41:06. > :41:13.over the last year, he has not lost a race this year, he has beaten all
:41:13. > :41:19.of those guys. The problem is that Sanchez has a live experience, an
:41:19. > :41:27.Olympic gold medallist who qualified with the fastest time,
:41:27. > :41:35.Angelo Taylor, Olympic champion, 200m speed and 400m speed. There is
:41:35. > :41:41.a lot of talent. Gordon from Trinidad, he ran 47 seconds for 400
:41:41. > :41:46.hurdles when he was 18. This race is probably more packed than any of
:41:46. > :41:52.the other races in the athletics, so it is open, it is tough.
:41:52. > :41:57.odds are against Dai but if he wins, he will be the first Welsh track
:41:57. > :42:01.and field gold medallist since when Davies in 1974. If you are a fan of
:42:01. > :42:06.the field events and you do not think you are getting enough of it
:42:06. > :42:11.on the BBC, every single field final has its own dedicated channel,
:42:11. > :42:16.so if you want to watch the shock it, discos, ham and long jump, it
:42:16. > :42:26.is all there for you -- a shot put and the discus and the Hammar and
:42:26. > :42:32.
:42:32. > :42:37.the long jump. Now we have Chris When when people look at you as a
:42:37. > :42:44.strong medal contender, it is something the you do not shy away
:42:44. > :42:50.from, you embrace it? Completely. Why do this to be the best ever. I
:42:50. > :43:00.never say anything other than I aim to jump further than most people in
:43:00. > :43:07.history. This gives you an opportunity, to go into the
:43:07. > :43:14.Olympics feeling fresh, it is a fantastic chance. We are used to
:43:14. > :43:19.seeing black and white men's long jump highlights a day for Britain
:43:19. > :43:25.and it is about time we changed the colour scheme of! I can only speak
:43:25. > :43:30.for myself but I feel like we can now become an Olympic champions.
:43:30. > :43:33.That is ultimately what I want, to be an Olympic champion. And to
:43:33. > :43:38.share that kind of thing with family and friends and those who
:43:38. > :43:43.have helped you through must be extra special. I have been so lucky
:43:43. > :43:50.that from a very early age, I have had two very supportive parents,
:43:50. > :43:54.and every sport I ever tried, they got behind me fully. Always. There
:43:54. > :43:58.was never a guaranteed outcome that I would do something like this so I
:43:58. > :44:08.have been incredibly lucky, and I have got one of the best coaches in
:44:08. > :44:09.
:44:09. > :44:13.He has got the speed but can he converted to distance? Yes! It is
:44:13. > :44:19.support, it is something people take for granted. It is something
:44:19. > :44:23.incredibly important to get to the stages. I am ranked No. 1 and that
:44:23. > :44:28.is because I have been fortunate enough to have the people behind me
:44:28. > :44:33.who have helped me every step of the way. Afterwards, hopefully I
:44:33. > :44:38.will look back with a big smile and a shiny gold medal. My aim is to
:44:38. > :44:43.win gold medal in the Olympics and celebrate with the other guys.
:44:43. > :44:48.long jump is under way shortly. There is a 15 minute window tonight
:44:48. > :44:56.in which we are hoping it will be a great moment of joy for British
:44:56. > :45:02.athletics. Jess Ennis's last discipline is just before 9pm. At
:45:02. > :45:12.9:15pm cities the men's 10,000m featuring the Mo Farah -- it is the
:45:12. > :45:16.
:45:16. > :45:21.Mo Farah is one of 2012's poster boys, and with good reason. His
:45:21. > :45:25.last two years have been sensational. He is the European and
:45:25. > :45:31.world champion at 5,000m and he has the European gold and the world
:45:31. > :45:36.silver at 10,000m. Beijing, he failed to qualify for the 5,000m
:45:36. > :45:40.final. For Great Britain, the hope of a male global distance champion
:45:40. > :45:45.appeared to be as remote as it had ever been, but his experience in
:45:45. > :45:49.Beijing only served to inspire him, and the results were quickly in
:45:49. > :45:55.evidence. European titles and a British record indoors build
:45:55. > :45:58.confidence, and in 2010, women started to become a habit. His
:45:58. > :46:03.stunning European double gold in Barcelona meant the world was
:46:03. > :46:09.taking notice, but how was he to take the final step to a global
:46:09. > :46:15.gold? His answer was to turn to Alberto Salazar. And no compromise
:46:15. > :46:19.decision. Moving his family to Oregon to immerse himself in
:46:19. > :46:26.Alberta sellers are's meticulous regime. It gave Mo a focus he had
:46:26. > :46:31.never had before -- Alberto the sellers are. His coach made him at
:46:31. > :46:38.stronger physically and mentally. He was good before, but now he was
:46:38. > :46:42.better. He continued to improve his times, both at 5,000m and 10,000m,
:46:42. > :46:47.but more importantly, he has learned how to translate those
:46:47. > :46:51.times into a winning performance. Last year Mo showed he can beat the
:46:51. > :46:56.best, but will his intense regime, with all of the sacrifice it
:46:56. > :47:03.entails, deliver a win on the biggest stage of all?
:47:03. > :47:08.Let's hope so. We will see Mo at 9:15pm. We will be back in the
:47:08. > :47:12.athletics stadium very shortly for the women's 100m semi-finals. It is
:47:12. > :47:22.the last night of swimming in a swimming pool. It has been a
:47:22. > :47:26.spectacular week, particularly for People will be shocked. It has been
:47:26. > :47:31.a mixed bag for Michael Phelps but he is the most successful swim at
:47:31. > :47:35.this particular Olympic Games, excluding all of the results he has
:47:35. > :47:38.achieved before. He has been the most successful man in a swimming
:47:38. > :47:44.pool and he will continue that this evening, in the relay, the last
:47:44. > :47:51.event. Just before 8:30pm. We will probably see him win another gold
:47:51. > :47:57.medal. Prior to that, the women's 50m freestyle, with Fran Halsall, a
:47:57. > :48:05.British hopes. One length, no tactics, off you go, full speed.
:48:05. > :48:09.Pretty much know tactics. Anyone is in for a shot. If Fran Halsall gets
:48:09. > :48:14.the start right, just like every other swimmer in the race, she is
:48:14. > :48:23.in with a chance. She may be able to pick up a medal that she did not
:48:23. > :48:29.expect. As you can see, they are getting ready. 50m freestyle. Let's
:48:29. > :48:39.join our commentators, Adrian Moorhouse and Andy Jameson. There
:48:39. > :48:43.
:48:43. > :48:49.is the fastest woman in water at the moment, the Dutch. Here is a
:48:49. > :48:59.danger, very quick on the 100m, she one the gold medal on the 100m
:48:59. > :49:10.
:49:10. > :49:20.Britta Steffen of Germany. Still no underwhelmed by the whole
:49:20. > :49:36.
:49:36. > :49:43.experience. I am not sure they are Foster knows this woman very well,
:49:43. > :49:49.they had been doing it together for years and years. Silver medal in
:49:49. > :49:58.Sydney in the year 2000. Fran Halsall in lane two. She is in the
:49:58. > :50:08.red hat for Great Britain. She has a chance. Jess Hardeep it from the
:50:08. > :50:25.
:50:25. > :50:35.Kronomidjojo, watch out for her to this, the fastest women on the
:50:35. > :51:06.
:51:06. > :51:16.planet in water. The favourite, win it. Kronomidjojo, she just got
:51:16. > :51:18.
:51:18. > :51:23.it. Fran Halsall finishing in 5th place. 24.47. It was very close. 91
:51:23. > :51:26.hundreds of the second. Fran Halsall just missed a medal by that.
:51:26. > :51:36.Such strength and depth of the Dutch women have one the sprint
:51:36. > :51:54.
:51:54. > :52:00.freestyle. -- have all the sprint nose! Unusual to have the whole
:52:00. > :52:10.hand above the water. She should be winning with her fingers. That was
:52:10. > :52:33.
:52:33. > :52:43.margins, dreams are one and lost. - - dreams are won and lost. What on
:52:43. > :52:44.
:52:44. > :52:50.amazing, amazing start. The 1500 A terrific performance, the
:52:50. > :52:59.favourite came in. Yes, when you see a 50 metres freestyle, when you
:52:59. > :53:04.can actually see who won, a means they are dominant. It means she
:53:04. > :53:08.could and I laid the field, the Belorussian in second, and then her
:53:08. > :53:15.fellow Dutchman in third. Fort Fran Halsall, eight hundredths of
:53:15. > :53:23.seconds cost her a medal, and that is how it is. You cannot see that
:53:23. > :53:27.with your eye. Eight hundredths of a second, we have to see the photo,
:53:27. > :53:32.or the replay, in slow motion to stop a fantastic effort from Fran
:53:32. > :53:39.Halsall. I think she will be quite happy with it, but it was a good
:53:39. > :53:45.swing. How should the British Steel about the swimming, no gold medals,
:53:45. > :53:52.one or two medals, but what do we need to make it better, to get a
:53:52. > :53:58.gold? Look... I will put it this way. Australia has one -- won one
:53:58. > :54:02.gold medal. We are supposed to be one of the dominant nations, and I
:54:02. > :54:07.am still proud of that team. The individuals have done a really good
:54:07. > :54:12.job. The Americans have been dominant here, in a way that I had
:54:12. > :54:16.not seen them be dominant for a very long time. If we compare that
:54:16. > :54:22.to the British team, Australian team, more cabbages here than we
:54:22. > :54:26.have seen before, better races. I think it is a could stage, the
:54:26. > :54:31.British team has made the right steps to have better results in the
:54:31. > :54:41.future. So we shouldn't be too hard at ourselves! Leads get back inside
:54:41. > :54:42.
:54:42. > :54:48.the stadium! -- let's get back They shot at the first of the 100
:54:48. > :54:58.metres semi-finals. Oyepitan running for Great Britain in the
:54:58. > :55:04.
:55:04. > :55:14.the first semi-final, the first to two and the two fastest make it
:55:14. > :55:41.
:55:41. > :55:47.Veronica Campbell-Brown going very well in the middle. Carmelita Jeter
:55:47. > :55:52.wins, 10.82. Even quicker than she ran in qualification. Campbell-
:55:52. > :55:58.Brown was fast, as well. It is quicker, it is a very, very quick.
:55:58. > :56:02.This is going to be a cracking final. The two big names are safely
:56:02. > :56:06.through. Carmelita Jeter, aggressive out of the blocks, as we
:56:06. > :56:11.expect from her. I am not so sure if a Veronica Campbell-Brown was a
:56:11. > :56:14.sharp as she could be out of the blocks. But the technique of the
:56:14. > :56:19.Carmelita Jeter will always see her through this middle part of the
:56:19. > :56:29.race. She looks confident, she looks strong. Well trained athlete,
:56:29. > :56:37.
:56:38. > :56:42.at. The two top in that race qualified nicely. Out of the blocks,
:56:42. > :56:46.he is Carmelita Jeter. Any young athlete, any aspiring sprinter, if
:56:47. > :56:52.you want to know how to run 100 metres, she is not a bad example to
:56:52. > :57:01.follow. Aggressive, explosive, a high need a lift. Strong and
:57:01. > :57:06.powerful touch. Let's have a look at Abi Oyepitan. 11.36 was her time.
:57:06. > :57:10.We always knew she would be struggling here, because she hasn't
:57:10. > :57:17.been competing as consistently as she would like, but she has done
:57:17. > :57:27.well, she made the semi-final, 11.36. Good performance. Returning
:57:27. > :57:34.
:57:34. > :57:39.to form, we are all very pleased to disappointed with her time, she is
:57:39. > :57:49.in the bottom of the list, but at the top, Carmelita Jeter, very
:57:49. > :57:53.
:57:53. > :57:56.quick. Joined in the final by a fantastic impact. How would you
:57:56. > :58:03.assess the overall Olympic experience it for you? It has been
:58:03. > :58:09.a bit mixed. I am not happy with my race, particularly the time. I got
:58:09. > :58:14.out OK, I think I drove pretty well, but I think the latter part of my
:58:14. > :58:19.race wasn't so great. I am just a bit disappointed with the time.
:58:19. > :58:24.know you said in Portugal that you like to use the 100 as a sharpen up
:58:24. > :58:34.for the 200, your favourite event, that is still to come. I wanted to
:58:34. > :58:44.be in the final! Yes, I'm disappointed, I can't live. -- I
:58:44. > :58:47.
:58:47. > :58:57.can't lie. But it wasn't meant to blog to the second semi-final of
:58:57. > :59:18.
:59:18. > :59:25.the women's 100 metres. There is middle lanes. Shelly-Ann Fraser
:59:25. > :59:32.Price, always smiling. But when the starter calls them to their blocks,
:59:32. > :59:41.she is down to business very quickly. The European champion.
:59:41. > :59:51.11.06, her best time so far in 2012. Radova, the record holder for
:59:51. > :59:52.
:59:52. > :59:57.Kazakhstan. And the African champion, Asumnu of Nigeria. She
:59:57. > :00:04.got a season's best in her heat. We missed Allyson Felix, the great
:00:04. > :00:09.American athlete. Doubling up at 102 hundred metres, everybody
:00:10. > :00:19.thinks of 200 is her best event. She is up against the defending
:00:20. > :00:40.
:00:40. > :00:44.champion. Shelly-Ann Fraser price conversion making is coming away,
:00:44. > :00:54.Allyson Felix is in second at. Baptiste will be disappointed with
:00:54. > :00:54.
:00:54. > :00:59.third place, having run so well in the heat earlier. 10.86, at just a
:00:59. > :01:06.tad slower than Carmelita Jeter in the first semi-final. It really is
:01:06. > :01:15.a game on offer this women's at 100 metres title later on this evening.
:01:15. > :01:19.It is an exciting race all round. A little bit quicker, an explosive
:01:19. > :01:23.start to, this is where she will always have that bit of an
:01:23. > :01:30.advantage over her main opponents. She can get out in front of the
:01:30. > :01:37.more common lead them from the done, and keep working a way through. She
:01:37. > :01:42.uses down over the last 10 metres. -- eases down. Fraser-Pryce looking
:01:42. > :01:47.like she could hang on to her title. I was speaking to Donovan Bailey
:01:47. > :01:54.about her, and he says she has been working a lot on her speed
:01:54. > :02:04.endurance. She has been running a lot of 150 metres, and it may pay
:02:04. > :02:23.
:02:24. > :02:33.A slight following wind. Allyson Felix, running one of her best
:02:34. > :02:41.
:02:41. > :02:49.there will be a big 50 minutes at around 9pm, the crowds are
:02:49. > :02:55.gathering, the busiest day, with thousands of people in the park. It
:02:55. > :02:59.has been a fantastic atmosphere, we hope it is building to a crescendo
:02:59. > :03:06.tonight with Jessica Ennis's last discipline in the heptathlon, and
:03:06. > :03:10.after that, Mo Farah in the 10,000 metres. We have got the long jump
:03:10. > :03:20.and a genuine medal contenders with a Greg Rutherford and also Chris
:03:20. > :03:20.
:03:20. > :03:30.I've had a tremendous career and the sport, but now it is averaging
:03:30. > :03:32.
:03:32. > :03:36.My career is been highs and lows, I have gone from breaking British
:03:36. > :03:43.records to having operations and thinking I was out of the Games,
:03:43. > :03:46.then coming into great form and Crystal Palace only a few weeks ago.
:03:46. > :03:50.Was there a point when you didn't think you would make the team? Or
:03:50. > :03:56.did you always think you're past history would stand you in good
:03:56. > :04:02.stead? The biggest point was probably at the end of April, I
:04:02. > :04:09.haven't been able to long jump for about nine months, and it was kind
:04:09. > :04:17.of like... It is cutting it fine, now. Fortunately, someone up there
:04:17. > :04:24.managed to say, he is good to go now! You have got to try and take
:04:25. > :04:32.your opportunities in life. I think for me, this is an opportunity. The
:04:32. > :04:38.long jump hasn't kicked off this year, it 0.35 is the best, it is
:04:38. > :04:43.there for the taking. How is it being a dad now I'm Dick having a
:04:44. > :04:49.little one? Does it give you a different perspective? Yes, I want
:04:49. > :04:53.to jump well, and in years to come, when he pulls out the Olympic vest,
:04:53. > :05:03.and he says, were you in the game's? I can say what I achieved,
:05:03. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:09.Worth emphasising again, that if you want to just watch the long
:05:09. > :05:13.jumper tonight, that has its own designated challenge -- channel. If
:05:13. > :05:20.you want to watch the quarter-final between Great Britain and South
:05:20. > :05:30.Korea in the football, then you can watch that on BBC Three. I think it
:05:30. > :05:31.
:05:31. > :05:36.We have seen two of the semi-finals of the women's 100 metres.
:05:36. > :05:41.Carmelita Jeter is just a joy to watch, she just blows across the
:05:41. > :05:45.track. Complete Poetry in motion. She seems to have got better and
:05:45. > :05:51.better the last couple of seasons. We know that she is a powerhouse
:05:51. > :05:55.out of the blocks, into her transition phase, but what she has
:05:55. > :05:59.done recently his work on her speed endurance, the latter half of her
:05:59. > :06:04.race. She is holding her techniques so much better and that is making
:06:04. > :06:11.her this formidable force in the women's 100. We will have a chat
:06:11. > :06:21.after watching the third semi-final. No, we are not going to go there
:06:21. > :06:21.
:06:21. > :06:28.yet! Say what you wanted to say! Carmelita Jeter is a fantastic
:06:28. > :06:34.athlete, icy pure speed, ballistic power. It is just power, she is
:06:34. > :06:38.phenomenal heart of the blocked. That is what I see. I expect she is
:06:38. > :06:46.going to continue it in the final, she will be a force to be reckoned
:06:46. > :06:52.with, along with Shelly-Ann Fraser. I'm really impressed with what she
:06:52. > :07:02.has been able to do with her speed and power, Carmelita Jeter.
:07:02. > :07:16.
:07:16. > :07:26.athletes are down at the start, she ran 11 seconds for the first
:07:26. > :07:35.
:07:35. > :07:41.11 seconds this year. Including Blessing Okagbare, who has beaten
:07:41. > :07:45.Carmelita Jeter, and has beaten everybody in recent weeks. She ran
:07:45. > :07:51.a quick time in qualification to back that up, 10.93, a new personal
:07:51. > :07:55.best for her. It was a new personal best for Murielle Ahoure. Tianna
:07:55. > :08:05.Madison looked good as well in qualification. And let's not forget
:08:05. > :08:37.
:08:37. > :08:47.the Olympic silver medallist, close race. Once again, the
:08:47. > :08:49.
:08:49. > :08:55.Nigerian based in the States come through, Okagbare. She is strong in
:08:55. > :09:05.the latter part of the race. Kerron Stewart looking to see if she is
:09:05. > :09:05.
:09:05. > :09:11.quick enough. Let sort it out with Colin. Thanks! Maddison, a great
:09:11. > :09:21.long jumper, she has been world champion at that event. Look how
:09:21. > :09:21.
:09:21. > :09:30.far Okagbare comes from. She breezes past Kerron Stewart. The
:09:30. > :09:38.drives hard into the line. -- She drives hard. I think she took that
:09:38. > :09:41.race. I think Kerron Stewart, the silver medallist, is not going to
:09:42. > :09:47.contest the final because Kelly Ann Baptiste was quicker in the first
:09:47. > :09:54.semi-final. This could be the best women's 100m final we have seen for
:09:54. > :09:58.a very, very long time indeed. We talk about the men's final being
:09:58. > :10:08.special. The ladies participating in this final later today, it will
:10:08. > :10:09.
:10:09. > :10:19.be exceptional. Six women ran under 11 seconds. That is the result of
:10:19. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:29.this semi-final. The fastest loser, Ahoure will join Kelly Ann Baptiste
:10:29. > :10:39.in the final. Let's look at the eight women who will be back later
:10:39. > :10:43.
:10:43. > :10:48.this evening, 9-50 5:00pm, after Mo Farah's 10,000m -- 9:55pm. Maddison
:10:48. > :10:58.will join them. Three Americans, or what with Allyson Felix, who almost
:10:58. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:12.did not even make it into the discus, the double European
:11:12. > :11:22.
:11:22. > :11:31.champion Croatian here, who the lead of the Chinese athlete.
:11:31. > :11:41.This discus competition is coming alive in round two. Muller was
:11:41. > :11:45.
:11:45. > :11:52.looking good from Germany in round still conditions. Discus thrower
:11:52. > :11:58.was normally like a slight headwind going from there right, but 68.11.
:11:58. > :12:05.That is a big throw and she has got the lead. Introductions to the
:12:05. > :12:10.grave for the men's long jump. Heavily anticipated. Sebastian bar
:12:10. > :12:20.will be a contender. One centimetre behind the World League of Greg
:12:20. > :12:28.Rutherford. Da Silva is the surprise world indoor champion. If
:12:28. > :12:35.the Australian, Mitchell, gets it right, he really is a danger man.
:12:35. > :12:45.We have never had a bigger cheer for Greg Rutherford, in his life,
:12:45. > :12:50.and he will never get another one, unless he wins this! Another danger
:12:50. > :13:00.man, the Americans. The South African has been the world indoor
:13:00. > :13:05.
:13:05. > :13:15.champion. Aleksandr Menkov, world indoor bronze medallist in Istanbul.
:13:15. > :13:17.
:13:17. > :13:22.Good win, relatively unknown. A CHEERING. A huge cheer for Chris
:13:22. > :13:30.Tomlinson, just an amazing atmosphere. That has got to be
:13:30. > :13:36.worth a good few centimetres! A tremendous atmosphere for this long
:13:36. > :13:40.jump competition. The British competitors will probably never get
:13:40. > :13:50.a loud cheer anywhere, at any time in their lives, except of course if
:13:50. > :13:57.
:13:57. > :14:03.London. That is the image that so many people dreamt up seven years
:14:03. > :14:07.ago and there it is, come to fruition. A packed house. 250,000
:14:07. > :14:11.people swarming around the Olympic Park. Events are still taking place
:14:11. > :14:16.with a hockey and in a swimming pool, which you can watch on
:14:16. > :14:25.Freeview. It is testament to everybody who has put all that hard
:14:25. > :14:32.work in to have this, do Dai Greene, desperate to realise
:14:33. > :14:36.his dream. It almost went horribly wrong tonight. To the untrained eye,
:14:36. > :14:41.he did not seem to have the rhythm and the flow that we are used to
:14:41. > :14:47.seeing him having. It is quite significant the amount of training
:14:47. > :14:51.that Dai has not been able to do in the early part of the season. He
:14:51. > :14:56.had an operation at Christmas on his knee and that could have caused
:14:56. > :15:00.him some distress, where he was not getting fluency with his running. I
:15:00. > :15:05.think he is not as sharp as he has been, and that be significant,
:15:06. > :15:10.because it means you have to use far more energy than normal. Having
:15:10. > :15:15.got into the back door, do you see potential room for improvement for
:15:15. > :15:21.him to get on the podium? It will be difficult now, because the
:15:21. > :15:29.athletes have all gone and 48.7. That makes it difficult because Dai
:15:29. > :15:32.has to perform faster than he has so far. Felix Sanchez looks like
:15:32. > :15:38.the experienced head that we know him as. I know everybody keeps
:15:38. > :15:41.saying about where he has got his performance from, but he was
:15:41. > :15:48.injured in Rome when he was absolutely going to attack have
:15:48. > :15:58.vehicles and, the world number one. He pulled his hamstring -- have
:15:58. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :16:11.vehicles and -- Javier Culson. Let's talk about Christine Ohuruogu.
:16:11. > :16:16.She comes here tonight almost as one of the favourites to win.
:16:17. > :16:23.Winning? She still has a long way to go. Sanya Richards Ross is still
:16:23. > :16:29.the woman in form, but Christine has a chance, and when you have a
:16:29. > :16:33.chance and you use that opportunity, anything is possible. What has
:16:33. > :16:37.happened with Christine is that her confidence has been built up, and
:16:37. > :16:44.when you run with confidence, you have a bit of speed back in your
:16:44. > :16:50.legs, anything is possible. I met a gambler today and he said that
:16:50. > :16:56.Christine Ohuruogu was his big outside bet to be a gold medallist.
:16:56. > :17:01.She is an outside bet, but she has a tough, tough, tough situation.
:17:01. > :17:11.Boy, it will be exciting, that is all I can says. Very exciting
:17:11. > :17:12.
:17:12. > :17:18.indeed. Christine Ohuruogu... OK! That is the scene tonight. The
:17:18. > :17:22.Olympic Stadium. The noise tonight is absolutely deafening. Christine
:17:22. > :17:32.Ohuruogu, it has been a very interesting journey from Olympic
:17:32. > :17:43.
:17:43. > :17:51.She took the Commonwealth title into first and and six, at the
:17:51. > :18:01.world title in 2010, can it be the world title in 2008? She is
:18:01. > :18:03.
:18:03. > :18:13.starting to run them down. There is a medal up for grabs. Christina
:18:13. > :18:15.
:18:15. > :18:19.Herod do takes the gold medal! -- Christine Ohuruogu. Oh, my word.
:18:19. > :18:25.How much do you reflect back on what you were able to achieve in
:18:25. > :18:31.the last Olympics? Four years ago, a long time from a lot has happened
:18:31. > :18:39.between then and now. We kind of start on a new State for setting
:18:39. > :18:49.goals and we work with what we have, it is no good going back for years.
:18:49. > :18:54.We cannot keep relying on what got me through it in the 2008. Having
:18:54. > :18:59.been through what you have, did you get a sense people were writing you
:18:59. > :19:05.off too early? People had mentioned this phrase writing me off a few
:19:05. > :19:11.times. I did care. I don't do what I do so people can't write nice
:19:11. > :19:17.things, I do it because it is my job. It is not an easy ride, a lot
:19:17. > :19:22.of people will be proud they have made it because they have all had a
:19:22. > :19:32.rough journey. Whether people write me off, it doesn't bother me, I
:19:32. > :19:39.
:19:39. > :19:46.have an Olympic gold medal in the It is why I get out of bed every
:19:46. > :19:50.day, it is the way I feel challenged, I love it, you don't
:19:50. > :20:00.sit around and say you have had a bad year and sit around and cry. It
:20:00. > :20:01.
:20:01. > :20:08.is hard, but I love what I do, have a really good group. She is
:20:08. > :20:15.beginning to lift her game go little, looking a little tired. She
:20:15. > :20:22.is charging. The world champion cannot hang on. She is going to
:20:22. > :20:26.take the win. It is coming at last, the defending Olympic champion
:20:26. > :20:34.might just have to these Olympic Games with thoughts of doing it all
:20:34. > :20:38.over again. It is something I will always remember and be proud,
:20:38. > :20:42.somewhere I have grown up has been able to host one of the world's
:20:42. > :20:47.most amazing sporting events. At the same time I am not thinking
:20:47. > :20:56.about that now. The sentimentality has gone out, the emotions, it is
:20:56. > :21:06.pure business, that is all I am dealing with. Now is the time for
:21:06. > :21:25.
:21:25. > :21:35.how tough it is, Yulia Gushchina won the semi-final in Beijing for
:21:35. > :21:36.
:21:36. > :21:44.years ago, Richards-Ross inside her in a lane number for, also won a
:21:44. > :21:54.semi-final in 2008, as indeed did Christine Ohuruogu. The crowd are
:21:54. > :22:01.
:22:01. > :22:06.so hoping she can do something similar here. Martin in a lane nine.
:22:06. > :22:11.Just to give you an idea of the task in hand, Richards-Ross ranked
:22:12. > :22:17.number two in the world, world champion, somebody for whom the
:22:17. > :22:21.Olympics has got bitter memories. Christine Ohuruogu is not ranked in
:22:21. > :22:31.the top eight athletes at these and of the Games so she really needs to
:22:31. > :22:39.find the form just when it matters. She wants that last little bit of
:22:39. > :22:49.inspiration, she glances up to the crowd. Has to finish in the top two.
:22:49. > :22:53.
:22:53. > :22:59.All be one of the two fastest start, Gushchina is also a good
:22:59. > :23:07.200m runner, they are bound to take some of yards out of Christina
:23:07. > :23:17.Herod do. She has got to stay calm. -- Christine Ohuruogu. The Jamaican
:23:17. > :23:19.
:23:19. > :23:28.is pushing her through, here comes Richards-Ross. Richards-Ross, the
:23:28. > :23:38.American, is clear. Christina Harrigan has got to be strong
:23:38. > :23:44.
:23:44. > :23:53.be a season's best, getting quicker all of the time, closer and closer
:23:53. > :24:00.to Richards-Ross he must know that Christina always saves her best for
:24:00. > :24:04.the major championships and this might just like some little embers
:24:04. > :24:10.of memories of what had done for years ago. That is the best we have
:24:10. > :24:14.seen of Christina for quite some time. She looked very good, ran a
:24:14. > :24:20.smart race, a conservative race. She always knows she's going to be
:24:20. > :24:25.tough down the home straight, she went very well here, she couldn't
:24:25. > :24:35.worry about Richards-Ross, she has run the fastest time in the world
:24:35. > :24:36.
:24:36. > :24:44.earlier this year. A decent start from Christina. A decent start.
:24:44. > :24:48.Very relaxed. Nice stride here. She will know she has all of the
:24:48. > :24:57.competition on her inside. Richards-Ross on the inside. Gish
:24:57. > :25:01.keen on the inside. -- Gushchina. This is where she starts to go to
:25:02. > :25:06.work. She knows where she is positioned in the race, she wants
:25:06. > :25:13.to position herself in contention which she does brilliantly. Takes
:25:13. > :25:17.her breath, and this is where he a real advantage comes in. She has
:25:17. > :25:21.got great strength, good speed and endurance but the real advantage is
:25:21. > :25:25.the strength that allows her to separate from the other two
:25:25. > :25:35.competitors, get herself into that final. She will be very happy with
:25:35. > :25:35.
:25:35. > :25:42.this race, she has been the favourite before but she ran a very
:25:42. > :25:49.good race today, got up to speed quickly and round the rest of the
:25:49. > :25:52.race. Gushchina up on the outside of her, not a great race from her.
:25:52. > :26:02.Richards-Ross would have expected a little bit more from her but happy
:26:02. > :26:09.
:26:09. > :26:16.to get into the final without too much bother. Let's hear from the
:26:16. > :26:23.winner, Richards-Ross. A fantastic performance yet again into the
:26:23. > :26:28.final. How are you feeling? Really good. That run was great. Didn't

:32:01. > :32:09.Very Conservative-run. Most of these athletes will want to take it
:32:09. > :32:14.easy. Montsho, the world champion, very relaxed through the first 200,
:32:14. > :32:22.she had her work cut out in this last 100 metres with the challenge
:32:22. > :32:28.from McCrory. She was making a little bit of a mistake at the very
:32:28. > :32:31.end. Probably should have leaned at the tape there, she will qualify
:32:32. > :32:39.for the final but will not write her lane. Montsho always very
:32:39. > :32:49.relaxed, great form. You see comparing the two of them, Montsho
:32:49. > :32:53.very relaxed, holding form. A very good technical runner, she runs the
:32:53. > :32:57.400 metres with great sprint technique which is much more
:32:57. > :33:01.efficient and that is a big advantage and why she has been able
:33:01. > :33:11.to run so well over the years and won the world championship last
:33:11. > :33:41.
:33:41. > :33:47.year. She will have a work that out First of all, assess the race.
:33:47. > :33:53.Obviously it was not the race I planned for. It was not the time
:33:53. > :33:58.that I wanted. I have to go back and looked over some things and
:33:58. > :34:05.worked it out. How much did the crowd roar at the start get to you
:34:05. > :34:08.and inspire you? It is inspiring, definitely. It is amazing having an
:34:08. > :34:18.entire stadium screaming for you and I could not ask for anything
:34:18. > :34:23.
:34:23. > :34:33.else. Thank you for talking to us. No problem. This is the leader.

:36:30. > :36:40.McConnell. A difficult draw and a difficult task because she has not

:36:44. > :36:54.American trial and found some really good form to make it to the

:36:55. > :37:05.Olympic Games. Often seen in the relays. 49.16 this year, she will

:37:30. > :37:36.Horrigan, all the way back in 2007. Rodriguez of Puerto Rico. We have
:37:36. > :37:43.had two good athletes in each of the heats. Rosemary White is one of
:37:43. > :37:49.the fastest losers. Lee McConnell at her very best would be in that
:37:49. > :37:59.range, but I do not think she is quite ready to produce that. But we
:37:59. > :38:06.
:38:06. > :38:16.shall see. This is the third of the three semi-finals. Some work has
:38:16. > :38:39.
:38:39. > :38:45.been done there. She needs to do gets out very hard and has already
:38:45. > :38:49.started very quickly and is flying down the back straight. The Russian
:38:49. > :38:55.is already putting a lot of distance between herself and Dee
:38:55. > :39:02.Dee Trotter. Williams Mills in the yellow of Jamaica trying to move
:39:02. > :39:12.through. She is making a little bit of an in Red Bull stock this is a
:39:12. > :39:13.
:39:13. > :39:21.big lead she is going to have. Dee Dee Trotter is coming through.
:39:21. > :39:31.Williams Mills is finishing quickly. The Russian just hangs on and Dee
:39:31. > :39:36.Dee Trotter it takes second. That last 100m hurt. Goodness me, she
:39:36. > :39:43.likes to go out hard. But I am not sure she thought she would come
:39:43. > :39:48.under that much pressure. Dee Dee Trotter ran well. Lee McConnell was
:39:48. > :39:54.always going to struggle in that sort of company. That is a tough
:39:54. > :39:59.way to do it, Michael. That is a very tough way to do it. I know she
:39:59. > :40:06.likes to go out hard, but you set yourself up for a bit of disaster
:40:06. > :40:11.which we were starting to see with about 50m to go. The rest of the
:40:11. > :40:19.field were starting to come back. That is Dee Dee Trotter and
:40:19. > :40:25.Rosemarie Whyte. That was a difficult way to run the race. Dee
:40:25. > :40:35.Dee Trotter are getting the second place, she is always dangerous.
:40:35. > :40:36.
:40:36. > :40:40.Rosemary White as well. This was a really fast race for a semi-final.
:40:40. > :40:48.All of that lactic acid was starting to set in from having gone
:40:48. > :40:53.out so hard in the first 200m. Now she is trying to hang on. She may
:40:53. > :41:00.want to readjust that strategy for the final. She will have a great
:41:00. > :41:10.lane, no doubt about it. Some of the other competitors will have to
:41:10. > :41:10.
:41:10. > :41:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:41:54. > :41:59.sand. A nice bit of humour from the official. He put up the wrong flag.
:41:59. > :42:05.He can sometimes get a bit ragged when he is coming in at his very
:42:05. > :42:09.top speed and loses a bit of form and a bit of technique. He will
:42:09. > :42:19.have the emotion and the extra energy out there because of the
:42:19. > :42:25.
:42:25. > :42:32.crowd. No improvement. Still lots more excitement to come. This is
:42:32. > :42:39.the final. We have got three women who ran under 50 seconds. But she
:42:39. > :42:44.is through, one step at a time. She will get one of the outside lanes.
:42:45. > :42:50.But safely into the final. We will keep you on top of things,
:42:50. > :43:00.but over in the Aquatics Centre we have had the 1,500m freestyle. We
:43:00. > :43:33.
:43:33. > :43:43.the others are coming back. The race is going to go down to the
:43:43. > :43:48.
:43:48. > :43:58.wire. Check out the scrap for second and third. A world record
:43:58. > :44:03.
:44:03. > :44:13.for sure. Come on, son. It is a new world record. I thought he was
:44:13. > :44:32.
:44:32. > :44:42.going to get under 14.30. What a master! He has just got that
:44:42. > :44:50.He is crying. He swims nice and karmic all the way through and then
:44:50. > :44:53.he goes bonkers. There was a lot of noise before he even began the race.
:44:53. > :44:58.He dived into the pool and everybody thought he was
:44:59. > :45:04.disqualified. It was his race to lose. He has taken three seconds
:45:04. > :45:12.off his own world record. The only thing he missed out on was going
:45:12. > :45:18.below 14.30. At 20 years of age we will see him go and do that. Also
:45:18. > :45:28.it was the women's 4 x 100 metres medley relay. We join it at the
:45:28. > :45:37.
:45:37. > :45:47.halfway stage where the Americans assignment by Great Britain in lane
:45:47. > :46:03.
:46:03. > :46:13.the moment the Americans are on world record plays. In second place
:46:13. > :46:14.
:46:14. > :46:22.it is a scrap between Japan and Australia. Their final leg is
:46:22. > :46:28.Allison Schmitt, who is very fast indeed. It was a very tight
:46:28. > :46:38.takeover in lane four for Australia. Great Britain are still in 8th
:46:38. > :46:39.
:46:39. > :46:49.position. They are not even in the picture. Allison Schmitt was a
:46:49. > :46:49.
:46:49. > :46:55.fantastic gold medallist on the 200m freestyle. I am not sure if
:46:55. > :47:02.she can get under 53. If you want anyone at the back end of this
:47:02. > :47:12.relate to break the record, she is the one. It looks like she is going
:47:12. > :47:16.
:47:16. > :47:22.to take a comfortable gold medal. A new world record! Well done, Team
:47:22. > :47:27.USA. The silver medal has gone to Australia and Japan got yet another
:47:27. > :47:32.bronze medal. What a brilliant week they have had and they are
:47:32. > :47:42.celebrating so much. A new world record and who would have thought
:47:42. > :47:46.
:47:46. > :47:50.they would have taken the Chinese Another world record. The Americans
:47:50. > :47:55.have been dominant. I have not witnessed the Americans as strong
:47:55. > :47:58.as this for quite some time. All of those individual swimmers with a
:47:58. > :48:02.gold medal, the Americans made mistakes and they still broke the
:48:02. > :48:07.world record, very impressive performance by each of the girls,
:48:07. > :48:11.individually, but collectively as a team that is a very strong team and
:48:11. > :48:16.they can will -- bring that world record down even further. The final
:48:16. > :48:23.race in swimming is coming shortly, the relay, Michael Dobbs, his last
:48:23. > :48:30.swimmer ever. You say it like it is the final race we will ever see.
:48:30. > :48:38.Michael Phelps is one of the greatest athletes in the world.
:48:38. > :48:43.is an era that his finishing. This is his last race. After this, we
:48:43. > :48:48.will see him before it, after it, he should be marched around the
:48:48. > :48:54.swimming pool because of what he has accomplished. The American team
:48:54. > :49:00.will win this race. To be able to witness Michael Phelps in this race,
:49:00. > :49:07.just enjoy it. We shall. We will do it shortly. Let's go inside the
:49:07. > :49:17.stadium. Jonathan Edwards is going to talk us through Greg
:49:17. > :49:28.
:49:28. > :49:38.getting ready for his next attempt -- Greg Rutherford. First though,
:49:38. > :49:51.
:49:51. > :50:01.Mauro Da Silva or. He is the world to it is Greg Rutherford's 8.21
:50:01. > :50:02.
:50:02. > :50:12.metres. It really is a bit of a lottery for the long jumpers with
:50:12. > :50:27.
:50:27. > :50:37.position. 6th place for Mauro Da Silva. Mitchell Watt. You can see
:50:37. > :51:00.
:51:00. > :51:03.the wind. That is tough to jump just wondering whether or not that
:51:03. > :51:13.a 0.21 will be enough. I would say not for gold, but could well be
:51:13. > :51:23.enough for a medal -- 8.21 metres. He will be looking to absolutely
:51:23. > :51:24.
:51:24. > :51:28.nail this one. Huge confidence after the second-round jump. It is
:51:28. > :51:33.round about the same. Perhaps slightly less. Would perhaps be a
:51:33. > :51:37.little bit disappointed. I think he really wanted to stamp his
:51:37. > :51:41.authority on to this competition. The difference between now and the
:51:41. > :51:46.beginning of the competition is the fact he is leading and his body
:51:46. > :51:54.language looks very positive indeed. He is leading the Olympic final at
:51:54. > :52:04.the moment. 8.14 metres, a second- best jump we have seen so far, into
:52:04. > :52:06.
:52:06. > :52:09.Greg Rutherford going well. On BBC Three you can see Team GB in the
:52:10. > :52:17.football again South Korea. South Korea took the lead but this was a
:52:17. > :52:23.penalty from a Baron Ramsey. That was an equaliser -- Aaron Ramsey.
:52:23. > :52:31.He missed another penalty shortly after that but at half-time it is
:52:31. > :52:40.all square, up 1-1. All to play for in a second half. We are going back
:52:40. > :52:50.to the swimming. It is the end of Michael Phelps' final race, the
:52:50. > :53:00.
:53:00. > :53:10.to this massive crowd -- Great Britain. Tancock on the left,
:53:10. > :53:14.
:53:14. > :53:18.Michael Jamieson at the back. There is Adam Brown. They will be
:53:18. > :53:28.dangerous. Great Britain in lane five, Australia in Laina the six
:53:28. > :53:29.
:53:29. > :53:37.have a good team indeed. -- lane six. I don't know, I think it will
:53:37. > :53:41.be tough. Germany, their last shot for any medal. Even though they are
:53:41. > :53:46.desperate am not sure they will get one. Can you believe it, eight
:53:46. > :53:56.years since they haven't got a medal at the Olympic Games and they
:53:56. > :54:03.
:54:03. > :54:08.are in 6th position into this final. This is the men's 400m relay.
:54:08. > :54:13.America in lane four. As with the women, so much talent here, so many
:54:13. > :54:16.gold medals and world records, you cannot see beyond them. There is
:54:16. > :54:26.Liam Tancock leading of the Great Britain team, they will be in lane
:54:26. > :54:29.
:54:29. > :54:35.Fife. Berry is that readers. -- There is Matthew Grevers. There he
:54:35. > :54:45.is, the greatest swimmer in history, Michael Phelps' a final race ever,
:54:45. > :54:53.he won gold on the butterfly. Three gold medals and a bronze. Anyone
:54:53. > :55:03.going to get anywhere near them? I do not see it. We have got to be
:55:03. > :55:03.
:55:03. > :55:11.careful on takeovers. His final race, Matthew Grevers leading off
:55:11. > :55:15.Team USA in lane four, Liam Tancock in lane five. Again you can set the
:55:15. > :55:22.world record on the lead-off leg of this medley relay. The world record
:55:22. > :55:32.is currently held by the USA. Matthew Grevers just missed it in
:55:32. > :55:39.
:55:39. > :55:45.the individual. Gone off very fast indeed. America in first, Tancock
:55:45. > :55:52.in third, a really good first 50. Red cap in the Yellow lanes, it
:55:52. > :56:02.trying to hold on to Matthew Grevers. 52.68 is what he won the
:56:02. > :56:04.
:56:04. > :56:11.100 in. 59.4 up is the time we are looking for. First, USA, second
:56:11. > :56:18.Japan, third Hungary, Liam Tancock was equal third, 53.40, a very good
:56:18. > :56:25.time for him, just outside the time he set in the individual final.
:56:25. > :56:33.Brendan Hanson for the USA, Michael Jamieson for Great Britain.
:56:33. > :56:43.Japanese having a real go. In previous Olympics, Hanson took time
:56:43. > :56:44.
:56:44. > :56:49.off and made his comeback. He knows the Japanese were may very well.
:56:49. > :56:54.The Japanese are not strong on fly and freestyle. He needs to give
:56:54. > :57:01.them a bit of a lead. Michael Jamieson having a belter of a swim.
:57:01. > :57:06.There is the greatest swimmer in history, Michael Phelps, very tight
:57:06. > :57:16.takeover for Japan. Japan are leading the USA, that is a big
:57:16. > :57:16.
:57:16. > :57:26.surprise. Great Britain in 4th position. A massive job to try to
:57:26. > :57:32.
:57:32. > :57:39.take Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps doing a brilliant turn. Michael
:57:39. > :57:45.Rock is not letting himself get overwhelmed by the Australians.
:57:45. > :57:54.Japanese having the race of their life. Michael Phelps probably going
:57:54. > :57:59.to touch half a second ahead, really important. It is USA in
:57:59. > :58:07.first, and that is the end of Michael Phelps' swimming career.
:58:07. > :58:10.Second place in Japan -- is Japan. Hungary in third. That the son of
:58:10. > :58:20.Australia is in and he is there to be the fastest that of the world --
:58:20. > :58:24.
:58:24. > :58:31.James Magnussen. Japan, Australia. Hungary have done too much too soon.
:58:31. > :58:40.They need to control the first 25. He is really digging in. The world
:58:40. > :58:44.record, I think, will go. It is held by Team USA. It is gold to USA,
:58:44. > :58:49.silver to Japan, bronze to Australia, Great Britain finishing
:58:49. > :58:56.in 4th position, a very good swim from them. That is the end of
:58:56. > :59:02.Michael Phelps, where does he finished? Right on top. His 18th
:59:02. > :59:10.Olympic gold medal. 18 medals, two silver medals, two bronze medals,
:59:10. > :59:20.22 in total. Team USA finishing where they began, utterly brilliant.
:59:20. > :59:22.
:59:22. > :59:25.They were pushed all the way by Japan. A great gold medal.
:59:25. > :59:32.Surprised at the time. I thought they would get closer to the world
:59:32. > :59:42.record. There is Matthew Grevers, Olympic champion doing his job.
:59:42. > :59:42.
:59:42. > :59:52.Tancock coming in with the red cap. Going in 4th. 4th on the first
:59:52. > :59:57.hundred. 4th overall. That is Brendan Hanson. Lost some ground to
:59:57. > :00:06.Japan, Michael Phelps waiting patiently, calmly. Look at the
:00:07. > :00:16.speed and pace of these guys. As leader did a great job. -- the
:00:17. > :00:22.
:00:22. > :00:31.Japanese were made did a great job. These are full takeover. Michael
:00:31. > :00:39.Phelps, he grabs the bar. How does it feel, 18 in a big gold medals,
:00:39. > :00:49.two silver medals, two bronze medals, 26 world championship golds,
:00:49. > :00:54.44 golds in total. Unbelievable. The greatest swimmer in history.
:00:54. > :01:04.The USA have ruled the port with 30 medals, more than half of them gold.
:01:04. > :01:06.
:01:06. > :01:11.Britain, well down of the official target. A fitting finale for one of
:01:12. > :01:15.the greatest sportsmen that has ever lived. It really is. If it
:01:15. > :01:19.went any other way it wasn't the right conclusion. I know this is
:01:19. > :01:25.sport, but this is Michael Phelps. If we are seeing the end of the era
:01:25. > :01:30.of his dominance in the Paul, it is a fitting finale and one that he
:01:30. > :01:34.deserves. People started to question whether he was the same
:01:34. > :01:37.swimmer he was four years ago. He is the most successful swimmer at
:01:37. > :01:44.this competition, add to that everything he has accomplished over
:01:44. > :01:48.the last two Olympic Games and it is an extraordinary athlete, a
:01:48. > :01:58.phenomenal performance, not only here but at that two previous games.
:01:58. > :02:06.
:02:07. > :02:16.An extraordinary tally of medals. 18 gold medals, double anybody has
:02:16. > :02:21.ever won. If it was ever to be achieved again in the Paul --
:02:21. > :02:31.swimming pool, this is an achievement, I don't think I will
:02:31. > :02:35.
:02:35. > :02:42.ever see again. I hope I do, but I It has been fantastic to be a part
:02:42. > :02:47.of all of discomfort to support Team GB and to see the UK's
:02:47. > :02:54.contribution to the Olympic movement. Back to the stadium and
:02:54. > :02:57.let's join John Inverdale. Never in the history of the Olympic Games
:02:57. > :03:05.dating back to 1896 has Great Britain won three gold medals in
:03:05. > :03:13.one session of athletics. I know I'm tempting fate, but we have Mo
:03:13. > :03:21.Farah at 9:15pm, and topping the bill, the poster girl of the 2012
:03:21. > :03:28.campaign, Jessica Ennis. Six events down, one to go and she is 800m
:03:28. > :03:34.from sporting immortality. Jessica Ennis has got the potential
:03:34. > :03:44.to set the stadium alight. So much expectation. Her Olympic adventure
:03:44. > :03:47.
:03:47. > :03:52.starts here. Oh, my goodness! The fastest time ever by a heptathlete.
:03:52. > :04:02.If anybody wants this Olympic title, they are going to have to produce
:04:02. > :04:03.
:04:03. > :04:12.something remarkable. She looks determined. Can she finished off in
:04:12. > :04:19.the same rich vein? Jessica Ennis is flying. This is a good end to
:04:19. > :04:27.what has been a critical first day. Is it the sun shining on Jessica
:04:27. > :04:37.Ennis in the Olympic Stadium? The stadium erupts. This is looking
:04:37. > :04:38.
:04:38. > :04:48.better and better. 6.48. One step closer to the gold medal.
:04:48. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:57.moment is getting closer. The crowd responding just to the site of
:04:57. > :05:07.Jessica Ennis. This is the third and last time on the javelin. A new
:05:07. > :05:11.
:05:11. > :05:17.lifetime best. 47.49. She has stood tall and she has stood strong.
:05:17. > :05:20.There have been some tumultuous cheers at Eton Dorney and at the
:05:21. > :05:25.Velodrome and there goes Jessica sneaking through the calls zone,
:05:25. > :05:31.but it is fair to say that we know and she knows that the biggest
:05:31. > :05:36.cheer for the entire Olympic Games would be reserved for her if she
:05:36. > :05:43.were to win in about 15 minutes' time. It is a mind game now, it is
:05:43. > :05:48.not about the 800m? It is about what she is thinking. She will be
:05:48. > :05:54.thinking I have got this in the bag, but I want to finish this, but she
:05:54. > :06:00.will want to get as many points as she can. She will not start
:06:00. > :06:04.celebrating before it is time and she will remain focused. It is a
:06:04. > :06:08.seven event competition and she will continue to be focused all the
:06:08. > :06:13.way through until the end. We were thinking we were going to be
:06:13. > :06:23.talking about Jessica Ennis, but we are talking about Greg Rutherford
:06:23. > :06:46.
:06:46. > :06:56.position at the moment. The last time we had two Britons in the
:06:56. > :07:08.
:07:08. > :07:14.Chris Tomlinson is down in 4th. Not long and saw Jessica Ennis and not
:07:14. > :07:19.long until that 10,000m final. Kenenisa Bekele is attempting to
:07:19. > :07:24.win his third medal, but Mo Farah stands in his wife. It is going to
:07:24. > :07:32.be an intriguing race, one which we are all looking forward to. There
:07:32. > :07:36.was a little smile on his face. Jessica Ennis on the verge of
:07:37. > :07:42.something special in London. She will be on the track very shortly
:07:42. > :07:49.to complete a two laps of the track and I am sure she is going to give
:07:49. > :07:59.it absolutely everything. The standings are intriguing. We have
:07:59. > :08:01.
:08:01. > :08:06.had our calculators out. It is not all about Jessica Ennis. That is
:08:06. > :08:16.13.5 seconds effectively ahead of the athlete in second place who won
:08:16. > :08:21.
:08:21. > :08:25.a silver medal in 2004. The third athlete is 18 seconds behind
:08:25. > :08:34.Jessica Ennis if she wanted to take gold. It seems like an impossible
:08:34. > :08:41.situation. Early on we saw Louise Hazel complete her task over these
:08:41. > :08:45.last couple of days. It has not all been about Jessica Ennis. We have
:08:45. > :08:52.got three women representing Great Britain. It was a very modest time
:08:52. > :09:02.for Hazel. It was way below her lifetime best. She will not improve
:09:02. > :09:05.
:09:05. > :09:15.on her place. Katarina Johnson- Thompson, a youngster who has had
:09:15. > :09:18.
:09:18. > :09:25.such a great Olympic Games. The youngster from Liverpool is all
:09:25. > :09:29.smiles and why not? A superb first day, struggled a bit today. Her
:09:29. > :09:39.best event, the long jump, did not go quite as well as it might have
:09:39. > :09:51.
:09:51. > :09:56.done. But watch her over the next Katarina Johnson-Thompson. How can
:09:56. > :10:01.you assess what she has done at the Olympics? She came here with high
:10:01. > :10:07.hopes to further a burgeoning career in terms of juniors, but
:10:07. > :10:17.this is her first taste of seniors. She has come off the back of a
:10:17. > :10:19.
:10:19. > :10:24.world junior title this year in the long jump. Katarina Johnson-
:10:24. > :10:32.Thompson comes from Liverpool where she is coached brilliantly. She has
:10:32. > :10:37.a very competent all-round coach. If Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants
:10:37. > :10:45.to break the British junior record, she is still a junior athlete, she
:10:45. > :10:55.needs a further 936 points and she needs to run 2.12. That seems to be
:10:55. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:10.a big ask. She has gone through in about 64. But the cheers in the
:11:10. > :11:15.stadium are not about the athlete in the lead at the moment. They are
:11:15. > :11:20.for this very strong, young lady. Katarina Johnson-Thompson, remember
:11:20. > :11:29.the name because she will be around for quite some time. She has got
:11:29. > :11:37.great talent. All eyes are on this young woman who is giving it
:11:37. > :11:43.absolutely everything. If the cheers for Katarina Johnson-
:11:43. > :11:51.Thompson are disallowed, what will they be like by Jessica Ennis?
:11:51. > :11:57.responds to their enthusiasm. She has moved into second. She is a
:11:57. > :12:05.gutsy young athlete. That could be close to her personal best. She has
:12:05. > :12:09.probably taken off three or four seconds off her personal best. I
:12:09. > :12:16.asked her a few days ago what was the thing she hates most and she
:12:16. > :12:23.said the 800. But one day she might have to produce a great 800m run to
:12:23. > :12:27.win a championships, and she can certainly do that. That
:12:27. > :12:33.unofficially is a new, British, and junior heptathlon record. A
:12:33. > :12:37.superstar on our hands for the future. But we are about to see the
:12:37. > :12:43.real superstar of the Olympic heptathlon. She will be getting
:12:43. > :12:50.ready to take her two lapse in a few moments time and to provide
:12:50. > :12:59.headlines for newspapers all over the world. This is one of the real
:12:59. > :13:07.dangers to Greg Rutherford's lead. Sebastian Bayer is starting to get
:13:07. > :13:15.it together. He has gone into second place. But it is still a
:13:15. > :13:20.good distance behind. But he can jump a long, long way. The field
:13:20. > :13:24.has been reduced to eight competitors. They jump in reverse
:13:24. > :13:34.order, so Greg Rutherford will be able to respond whatever happens
:13:34. > :13:54.
:13:54. > :14:04.the sand. That was absolutely perfect on the board. Maybe missed
:14:04. > :14:14.
:14:14. > :14:22.the take-off a little bit. He is back into bronze-medal position. Ed
:14:22. > :14:28.be advertising hoarding, at every bus has a picture of Jessica Ennis,
:14:28. > :14:31.the poster girl of London 2012 and the thing was could she produce the
:14:31. > :14:41.gold medal that would cement her place in British sporting history?
:14:41. > :14:46.
:14:46. > :14:54.Things happen for a reason. I know more than anyone that things can go
:14:54. > :15:01.wrong. The support we have had in the weeks leading up has been
:15:01. > :15:05.amazing. Her Olympic adventure starts here. I have had so many
:15:05. > :15:13.great people around me for the past few years. They are all here with
:15:13. > :15:20.me. It is great just to have that support. The biggest cheer of all
:15:20. > :15:24.will be reserved for this lady. That crowd is unbelievable. The
:15:24. > :15:31.nerves and the adrenalin and everything kicks in. It is nice
:15:31. > :15:38.pressure. Everybody has been cheering for me and wishing me to
:15:38. > :15:46.do well. Jessica Ennis has nailed it. Having that crowd behind you
:15:46. > :15:56.really lifts year. It is a great occasion. I just want to make sure
:15:56. > :16:06.
:16:06. > :16:16.cheer of the day. Jessica Ennis was introduced to the crowd. There is
:16:16. > :16:16.
:16:16. > :17:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:17:03. > :17:07.the world. She leads by 188 points. could be called for Jessica Ennis.
:17:07. > :17:13.-- gold. Listen to the crowd. If you are listening to this in
:17:13. > :17:20.Sheffield, the home of the City of Sheffield Athletics Club, if you
:17:20. > :17:29.geer loud enough Jessica Ennis will hear you. She is not taking any
:17:29. > :17:34.chances. Denise Lewis, this is outstanding. It is more than
:17:34. > :17:40.outstanding. The crowd are literally going wild. I have never
:17:40. > :17:48.seen anything like this. This is how we are used to seeing just run,
:17:48. > :17:54.she likes to lead from the front, she wants to give the crowd exactly
:17:54. > :18:00.what they want. Absolutely brilliant. Everybody else is
:18:00. > :18:06.trailing in her wake. She is going to take the bell in just a moment.
:18:06. > :18:10.There is the severe -- silver- medallist. She could be caught by
:18:10. > :18:18.Yosypenko who is a good way ahead of her at the moment. She is being
:18:18. > :18:26.caught by Chernova. But that doesn't matter, all she has got to
:18:27. > :18:32.do is stay with the Russian. The German is there, Schwarzkopf. She
:18:32. > :18:36.was 279 points behind Jessica Ennis. About 20 seconds. It doesn't matter
:18:36. > :18:43.somebody has overtaken her. Everybody in the crowd was looking
:18:43. > :18:46.forward to this them. She will surely be crowned an Olympic
:18:46. > :18:53.champion and everybody in the crowd can proudly say, I was there. If
:18:53. > :19:03.this is brilliant. She has given us that the first of seven events
:19:03. > :19:05.
:19:05. > :19:10.already. And here she goes. Everybody is on their feet. The
:19:10. > :19:20.pride of Sheffield, the pride of River Witham, Jessica Ennis is the
:19:20. > :19:23.
:19:23. > :19:33.Olympic champion. It is the perfect day for Jessica Ennis. The best
:19:33. > :19:34.
:19:34. > :19:42.all-round athlete in the world. She has smashed her British record. She
:19:42. > :19:48.hasn't just one nit, she has totally dominated the opposition.
:19:48. > :19:54.She has won by a big margin. Don Valley Stadium are watching this on
:19:54. > :20:04.a big screen, they must be going mad. You have all played a part in
:20:04. > :20:29.
:20:29. > :20:39.the development of this brilliant Rutherford lying in gold medal
:20:39. > :20:39.
:20:39. > :20:49.position as well in the long jump. Both Will Claye, 8.12 metres the
:20:49. > :20:50.
:20:50. > :20:58.third place. Greg Rutherford, 8.21 at the moment. Can he ft office
:20:58. > :21:02.atmosphere, and it is big! Can you believe what is happening in the
:21:02. > :21:12.stadium at the moment. Could this be the greatest night of British
:21:12. > :21:17.
:21:17. > :21:26.athletics history? It really could. Exhilarating through, 8.31 metres.
:21:26. > :21:33.In the context of this competition that will take some beating. What a
:21:33. > :21:43.night. Denise, what was your reaction? It is hard to find the
:21:43. > :21:47.words. We have witnessed greatness. Somebody who had a dream, to come
:21:47. > :21:54.and live on the biggest stage possible, the crowds have lifted
:21:54. > :21:58.her, she has been outstanding, remarkable, by far one of the most
:21:58. > :22:02.popular athletes I think we have ever seen in a long time, people
:22:02. > :22:07.love her, it they really do. You get outpouring of affection when
:22:07. > :22:12.she crossed the line, you could just feel that from the crowd. I am
:22:12. > :22:21.so proud to have witnessed this, it is truly remarkable. I think we are
:22:21. > :22:31.all quite emotional about what has just happened. That is relief, a
:22:31. > :22:32.
:22:32. > :22:41.delight, it is a talent as well. In the presence of the all-time great
:22:41. > :22:49.heptathlete. Mary Rand, won a silver medal in addition to the
:22:49. > :22:56.long jump gold in 1964, there is no doubt about it, that is one of the
:22:56. > :23:01.most dominant displays of a multi- events we have seen in recent years.
:23:01. > :23:05.Jessica Ennis will wake up tomorrow morning hurting, it she will be
:23:05. > :23:15.stiff, but she will have an Olympic gold medal around her neck, how
:23:15. > :23:17.
:23:17. > :23:26.about that? Outside where there is a giant screen the spectators are
:23:26. > :23:32.going absolutely wild with excitement. As she leads around all
:23:32. > :23:39.of the athletes who trailed in her wake. And that big smile on the
:23:39. > :23:47.face of Jessica Ennis will be beamed all over the world. A
:23:47. > :23:57.another special moment for Great Britain in these London Olympics.
:23:57. > :24:01.
:24:01. > :24:05.Wow! We all stood on our feet and applauded not only for all the
:24:05. > :24:09.other six events but what she has done in the last few years to
:24:09. > :24:16.become as good as this and that 800m was something really special.
:24:16. > :24:25.The guts issue showed at the end there, unbelievable. -- the guts
:24:25. > :24:35.that she showed. There are probably a few tears kicking around in the
:24:35. > :24:35.
:24:35. > :24:45.broadcasting unit. 80,000 people in the Stadium tonight, over the next
:24:45. > :24:45.
:24:45. > :24:50.10 years we will hear people say, I was there that night, tonight was
:24:50. > :24:56.like the first sub-four-minute a mile. 80,000 in the stadium and now
:24:56. > :24:59.another performance from Greg Rutherford, fantastic. They
:24:59. > :25:07.heptathlete are lined up on the back straight, right next to where
:25:07. > :25:16.Greg Rutherford is. If he wanted some inspiration, he has certainly
:25:16. > :25:20.got it. This is a Super Saturday for Jessica Ennis, congratulations
:25:20. > :25:29.to all those people who have supported her, coached her, helped
:25:29. > :25:39.her. Her parents must be feeling a million dollars. They would be so
:25:39. > :25:40.
:25:40. > :25:45.proud of their daughter. I still haven't bothered to look at the
:25:45. > :25:48.final scores yet but I bet they are impressive. He just needs to
:25:48. > :25:57.compose himself, I'm sure he is delighted for Jessica Ennis but
:25:57. > :26:07.there is one thing on his mind, his performance. Will Claye is in the
:26:07. > :26:15.
:26:15. > :26:21.bronze-medal position, Tomlinson in 6th place. 8.31 metres the lead. It
:26:21. > :26:31.is not further. I think it is a foul. There is just eight it jumps
:26:31. > :26:45.
:26:45. > :26:54.left, or seven jumps left before he And these results it will go down
:26:54. > :27:04.in history books. 6955 points, a new British and Commonwealth record
:27:04. > :27:04.
:27:04. > :27:08.figures, Chernova or, 6628. Over 300 points behind. There is a big
:27:08. > :27:11.victory by Jessica Ennis over the world's best. Yosypenko of the
:27:11. > :27:21.Ukraine, she came through very strongly over the last couple of
:27:21. > :27:30.
:27:30. > :27:36.events, she gets the bronze. No all the advertising contract and
:27:36. > :27:40.the media commitments and a chat shows and all of this, that and the
:27:40. > :27:43.other she never lost sight of what the crucial thing was, she had to
:27:43. > :27:53.win a gold medal here, the rest of her life was pretty sordid after
:27:53. > :27:58.
:27:58. > :28:03.that. That is the site -- pretty sorted. If she can inspire a
:28:03. > :28:07.generation of young girls to get involved in sport. This was a
:28:07. > :28:15.phenomenal performance, I just think about what she is feeling
:28:15. > :28:20.right now. Not making the Baysham Olympic team -- Beijing Olympic
:28:20. > :28:25.team. Having a best performance here, winning in front of her home
:28:25. > :28:31.crowd, being able to prove to everybody she is the best, not only
:28:31. > :28:39.is she the best but she can cook -- perform under incredible pressure.
:28:39. > :28:44.Either with a couple of bumps along the road she could bounce-back with
:28:44. > :28:50.personal bests. This is a fantastic performance. I am truly happy for
:28:50. > :28:57.her. I think what is exciting is she knows what she can do under a
:28:57. > :29:02.lot of pressure. She deals with it, when she was down a little bit, she
:29:02. > :29:08.did great performances, time and time again. She thoroughly deserves
:29:08. > :29:14.this title. She has the Olympic title, has won the world title,
:29:14. > :29:23.European title, and now look at that big smile. I don't think there
:29:23. > :29:28.is any pain she feels now, just pure happiness. There was a great
:29:28. > :29:33.point Brendan made about the four- minute mile, this has been a real,
:29:33. > :29:41.I was there, moment. Not just because of Jessica Ennis, because
:29:41. > :29:46.of Mo Farah coming up, but also because of what might happen in the
:29:47. > :29:54.next 10, 15 minutes in the men's long jump. Let's go back to
:29:54. > :29:59.Jonathan Edwards. Sebastian by air, one of the
:29:59. > :30:05.athletes who could challenge regret the third, -- Sebastian Bayer. But
:30:05. > :30:12.he does not. Chris Thomas the next, then Michael Torneus. Then Will
:30:12. > :30:19.Claye, then thread Rutherford. Four athletes between bread Rutherford
:30:19. > :30:29.and an Olympic gold medal. -- Greg Rutherford. Celebration very much
:30:29. > :30:29.
:30:29. > :30:35.under way for Jessica Ennis, is another one about to begin?
:30:35. > :30:40.moment for Mo Farah comes, Jessica Ennis has the gold medal she so
:30:40. > :30:46.wanted. Read Rutherford in a fantastic position. There was just
:30:46. > :30:54.a little word exchanged between Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis. A couple
:30:54. > :30:57.of minutes away for him. Starting to think Danny Boyle wrote the
:30:57. > :31:07.script for this night as well, not just the opening ceremony.
:31:07. > :31:08.
:31:08. > :31:13.Absolutely remarkable. Mitchell Watt is just getting ready. He is a
:31:13. > :31:23.danger, make no mistake, he is sitting in second place. He can
:31:23. > :31:38.
:31:38. > :31:44.jump a boy 31, there is no question running up, just didn't have to
:31:44. > :31:54.read them, just didn't have the pace. -- Ray them. Another athlete
:31:54. > :32:08.
:32:08. > :32:13.bring for us? The two training partners, USA and Great Britain.
:32:13. > :32:20.Undoubtedly will be there nearer the end. 25 laps of the track, 6.25
:32:21. > :32:28.miles, years of mileage, cold mornings, Hills, muddy cross-
:32:28. > :32:38.country. Lap after lap of track sessions. Trips to altitude. All
:32:38. > :32:53.
:32:53. > :33:03.Mitchell Watt is still in silver medal position. Chris Tomlinson is
:33:03. > :33:05.
:33:05. > :33:13.in 6th place. He needs five centimetres more. But he needs much
:33:13. > :33:22.more. He is being stopped. He is not very impressed. Perhaps his is
:33:22. > :33:28.the start of the 10,000m. We will see the end of the long jump once
:33:28. > :33:38.it gets under way. There is the defending champion, Ken and Lisa
:33:38. > :33:39.
:33:39. > :33:47.Bekele. Moses Masai has run under 20.27 11 times. His mother is here
:33:47. > :33:54.to watch him run. Galen Rupp will be a big contender. Not often you
:33:54. > :34:04.can say an Olympic 10,000 final that an American and a British
:34:04. > :34:07.
:34:08. > :34:16.athlete may well determine where the medals will go. He is ready.
:34:16. > :34:20.This is Kenenisa Bekele's brother, Tariku Bekele. Will he be able to
:34:20. > :34:30.switch around and get in front of his brother, or up where he helped
:34:30. > :34:32.
:34:32. > :34:37.him on his way? Moses Kipsiro, the Commonwealth champion. Gebremariam.
:34:37. > :34:43.Anyone representing Ethiopia has to be reckoned with. He might not be
:34:43. > :34:50.as quick in the last lap or so as his compatriots, but he may also be
:34:50. > :34:56.there to help. Zersenay Tadese, I do not think he will figure in this
:34:56. > :35:06.particular race. He had a go at the marathon, but it did not quite work
:35:06. > :35:14.
:35:14. > :35:21.out for him. He is based in Japan. He likes to front run on occasion.
:35:21. > :35:26.It all comes down to this, all of the speculation. Not an event that
:35:26. > :35:36.happens quickly, it builds and it grows. Mo Farah wants to get on
:35:36. > :35:52.
:35:52. > :36:01.with it. He looks relaxed. An Olympic 10,000m final. Now they are
:36:01. > :36:10.getting me nervous! Understandably the crowd are really excited. The
:36:10. > :36:20.performance of Jessica Ennis has heightened their expectation. The
:36:20. > :36:21.
:36:21. > :36:27.10,000m final is under way. 25 laps of intrigue. Can do great champion
:36:27. > :36:36.defend himself against what surely will be an onslaught from the likes
:36:36. > :36:43.of Galen Rupp, but most especially we hope from Mo Farah. Last year
:36:43. > :36:50.Ethiopia found an unknown man to beat him on the last laugh. Well
:36:50. > :37:00.Kenenisa Bekele be able to resurrect his greatness? Can he
:37:00. > :37:07.
:37:07. > :37:16.used this anger because he was Tomlinson. He will finish in 6th
:37:16. > :37:21.place. A really exciting long jump going on, but here is the 10,000m
:37:21. > :37:27.and the champion goes straight to the front. A bit of a surprise,
:37:28. > :37:33.that. Everybody was talking about tactics and having a team-mate.
:37:33. > :37:40.Kenenisa Bekele and Mo Farah immediately follows the big man. He
:37:40. > :37:43.is on his way back to fitness. He has had a couple of good weeks of
:37:43. > :37:49.training in Ethiopia since we saw him in Europe where he did not
:37:49. > :37:53.distinguish himself. But Kenenisa Bekele is feeling confident tonight.
:37:53. > :38:03.I spoke to his manager and he is expecting his brother to give him
:38:03. > :38:05.
:38:05. > :38:09.some help. But it is very early to have the Ethiopians in the lead.
:38:09. > :38:19.Greg brother Fred is guaranteed at least a bronze medal, but I hope it
:38:19. > :38:19.
:38:19. > :38:29.will be much more than that. -- Greg Rutherford. That will not be
:38:29. > :38:32.
:38:32. > :38:37.enough. Greg brother Fred may be moments away from another piece of
:38:37. > :38:43.history for Great Britain athletics. But Mo Farah is trying to carve out
:38:44. > :38:53.his own bit of history. It is quite surprising to see Kenenisa Bekele
:38:53. > :38:59.at the front. He has got better as the year has gone on. In the first
:38:59. > :39:06.race he finished 7th. Then after that he has run 13.1 and has been
:39:06. > :39:12.improving. He ran in Birmingham where he won rather bizarrely. The
:39:12. > :39:17.Ethiopians had their trial in Birmingham and he won that race in
:39:17. > :39:22.27 minutes and two seconds and that cemented his place here. But he is
:39:22. > :39:28.not leading that quickly and that is why they are all bunched. Still
:39:28. > :39:32.early stages and we are reaching the climax in the long jump final.
:39:32. > :39:42.This is the only athlete who can deny Greg brother Fred from Olympic
:39:42. > :40:03.
:40:03. > :40:10.gold. He is a specialist triple- He is a massive talent, he
:40:10. > :40:17.struggled with injury. They were saying they had to wrap that man in
:40:17. > :40:22.court and will, but I tell you what, it has paid off. Will Claye will
:40:22. > :40:28.take a bronze for the USA and will take that into the triple-jump in a
:40:28. > :40:38.few days' time. UK coaching will have a big smile on their face at
:40:38. > :40:38.
:40:38. > :40:48.the moment. It is not quite a lap of honour at. I wonder if he could
:40:48. > :41:01.
:41:01. > :41:11.would have put him down as Olympic champion at the beginning of the
:41:11. > :41:13.
:41:13. > :41:19.year, perhaps not even at the beginning of this competition. That
:41:20. > :41:29.was always going to happen, but it does not matter. Olympic long jump
:41:30. > :41:30.
:41:30. > :41:35.champion. Two gold medals in 20 minutes for Team GB. I do not think
:41:35. > :41:45.he can quite believe it. I do not think any of us can quite believe
:41:45. > :41:50.eight. Milton Keynes Athletics Club uncovered a great talent when they
:41:51. > :42:00.found this man. He cannot believe it, that is for sure. Let me tell
:42:01. > :42:11.
:42:11. > :42:20.you, Great Britain has another Olympic champion on Super Saturday.
:42:20. > :42:27.Over to you, Mo Farah. What a night. Can you ever have imagined we would
:42:27. > :42:37.have a night like this? Mo Farah was getting blocked a little bit.
:42:37. > :42:39.
:42:39. > :42:45.The two Eritreans and the brewing rings out around the stadium. Mo
:42:45. > :42:48.Farah gave him a post to say, what are you doing? Now there is pushing
:42:48. > :42:55.and jostling and a bit of nervousness creeping into this
:42:55. > :43:03.final, rather unnecessarily. They knew something special was going on
:43:03. > :43:08.in the stadium and ran the first mile very quickly, but now that the
:43:09. > :43:16.long jump has finished, they have decided to get on with the race.
:43:16. > :43:22.The Eritrean has decided it is his turn. 19 laps to go bust up
:43:22. > :43:29.Zersenay Tadese, bronze medallist in 2004, has decided he is going to
:43:29. > :43:36.make a race of it. Now it is time to get yourself in the right place.
:43:36. > :43:41.The race now begins to bubble. But the stadium is absolutely fantastic.
:43:41. > :43:45.What an evening, the most exciting evening in the history of British
:43:45. > :43:51.athletics, and one of the most exciting evenings in the history of
:43:52. > :43:57.the Olympic Games. One of the Kenyans, who shook came off. I was
:43:57. > :44:07.going to say it was disappointing. Because of all the pushing and the
:44:07. > :44:09.
:44:09. > :44:19.shopping. Sorry, it was not one of the Kenyans. It is Moses Kipsiro.
:44:19. > :44:20.
:44:20. > :44:27.It was Kenny is a Bekele. He was up on his feet. He wants to get
:44:27. > :44:35.himself closer to the front. Mo Farah stared out of trouble. He
:44:35. > :44:41.wants to be careful when they start pushing the pace on like this. You
:44:41. > :44:48.do not need to keep surging, so do not worry where he is at the moment.
:44:48. > :44:58.The pace is beginning to left now. The last lap was 61 seconds, but
:44:58. > :44:59.
:44:59. > :45:05.they will not keep that going for much longer. Sir San'a today's date
:45:05. > :45:10.is a distinguished half marathon runner. -- Zersenay Tadese A. He
:45:10. > :45:19.knows his finish is not good enough these days, so he has decided it is
:45:19. > :45:26.going to be a hard race. Wilson Kiprop is in second place. Kenenisa
:45:26. > :45:36.Bekele is loitering in 5th. His brother is in 4th. Mo Farah is with
:45:36. > :45:36.
:45:36. > :45:46.his training partner, Galen Rupp. The last laps were 61 and 64, so a
:45:46. > :45:47.
:45:47. > :45:51.consistency has not been set, but they are going quickly. That is the
:45:51. > :46:00.runner from Bahrain, I do not think he was going to figure anywhere, so
:46:01. > :46:07.no more worries. But this is a tactic to mess them around a little
:46:07. > :46:16.bit. They did not mind the first few laps at a slower pace, but they
:46:16. > :46:21.are mixing it around, they are pushing it up and going down again.
:46:21. > :46:27.The Kenyans are pushing on and Mo Farah needs to think a little bit
:46:27. > :46:34.here. He cannot afford to let them all get away. The big names are out
:46:34. > :46:44.there. Moses Masai is there. This is going to hurt, but he needs to
:46:44. > :46:52.be patient and close that gap gradually. Tariku Bekele in second
:46:52. > :46:59.place. N Kenenisa Bekele, three- times Olympic champion. He has been
:46:59. > :47:02.struggling for a wild. But he is back here now. Mo Farah is working
:47:02. > :47:08.his way sensibly and his training partner is following him and they
:47:08. > :47:13.are beginning to work and closed the gap. They need to be a bit
:47:13. > :47:19.closer, and I think he is doing its sensibly. He has got to get back to
:47:19. > :47:28.the group, but he has to do it gradually. There is the
:47:28. > :47:33.Commonwealth champion who lost his shoe. There is Mo Farah's wife and
:47:33. > :47:41.child coming getting nervous as you can imagine. She is seven months
:47:41. > :47:51.pregnant. More than that, Brendan. They are watching nervously as we
:47:51. > :48:05.
:48:05. > :48:13.all are. But do not get too panicky, really picked it up. -- Tadese.
:48:13. > :48:17.That is Bath for the 10,000m pace - - fast. This is hurting, even at
:48:17. > :48:26.this fairly early stage, they are not even at the halfway point. Mo
:48:26. > :48:36.Farah trying to conserve, sit, settle. The Kenenisa Bekele will
:48:36. > :48:40.
:48:40. > :48:45.not like this battle. I was talking to be twice winner of this race and
:48:45. > :48:51.asked him about it, he said if it is a fast race Kenenisa Bekele will
:48:51. > :48:56.win it, if it is a slow race Mo Farah or will have it. This is an
:48:56. > :49:06.in-between race, he was very slow to begin with, and now beginning to
:49:06. > :49:26.
:49:26. > :49:31.involved. Tadese, a big effort for him. You have got to admire him, he
:49:31. > :49:36.is just starting to slow a little bit. As the field starts to bunch
:49:36. > :49:44.up a little bit, not quite as much pressure being applied at the front.
:49:44. > :49:49.It was a big effort, so early, to be pushing in the 61 lap. That is
:49:49. > :49:54.65.45. They haven't been excessively fast. A 64, these
:49:54. > :49:58.athletes can live with that. Mo Farah is running a very mature race,
:49:58. > :50:03.he is in a good place, settling down. He is not getting concerned
:50:03. > :50:09.with who is leading, he knows the pace is manageable. He has grown in
:50:09. > :50:17.stature over the last couple of years. There he is, Commonwealth
:50:17. > :50:27.champion ahead of him, Mo Farah looks relaxed. Remember in Beijing
:50:27. > :50:27.
:50:27. > :50:30.he wanted to get through to the final. They will have to do
:50:30. > :50:37.something to whittle this field down. There are some athletes
:50:37. > :50:45.capable of doing that. That last 3,000 metres was eight minutes five
:50:45. > :50:49.seconds. This Kenyan in the lead is based in Japan. He likes to put a
:50:49. > :50:59.bit of pace into the middle part of the race, he is not afraid to do
:50:59. > :51:02.
:51:02. > :51:07.that. It is really interesting, East Africa, Eritrea, Ethiopia,
:51:07. > :51:10.Kenya, they wouldn't normally be cooking up a plan between them, I
:51:10. > :51:18.don't think that is what is happening but they are all having a
:51:18. > :51:24.go. They are saying, let's make it hard, let's take it out of Mo Farah,
:51:24. > :51:34.Galen Rupp. This is a race without a plan. Tadese has done a bit but
:51:34. > :51:40.his pace has not been consistent. They are a little bit tired, but it
:51:40. > :51:46.is not the sort of pace that will hurt anybody. Is it going to come
:51:46. > :51:51.down to the last lap or will they wait and somebody make a move from
:51:51. > :51:56.four or five laps to go? Mo Farah is just looking around, he sees the
:51:56. > :52:01.sign, 11 laps to go in the 10,000m, 11 laps between Mo Farah and what
:52:01. > :52:05.could be Britain's first ever gold medal in the 10,000m, an event that
:52:05. > :52:09.has been run for 100 metres since 1912 in Stockholm and no British
:52:09. > :52:19.athlete has ever won. Could Mo Farah go better than anybody else
:52:19. > :52:19.
:52:19. > :52:29.has done before? Interestingly as he moved up and went past Bekele,
:52:29. > :52:35.
:52:35. > :52:45.just clipped Mo Farah Again. We think the two men are very close
:52:45. > :52:51.
:52:51. > :52:58.together, Farah on the curve. It is kind of Nessie. -- Nessie. People
:52:58. > :53:06.changing positions, a lot of nervousness. Tadese still at the
:53:06. > :53:11.front, still pushing on. Nothing much really. The interesting thing
:53:11. > :53:15.here is when the race is messy and there is no plan, nobody leading,
:53:15. > :53:18.there is a new leader now comes up, the Kenyan athlete moves to the
:53:18. > :53:22.front, but I think the most important thing for Mo Farah, keep
:53:22. > :53:25.your concentration, just remember, it doesn't matter what happens in
:53:26. > :53:29.these early laps as long as you get yourself into the position, would
:53:29. > :53:33.you decide you want to make an attack, he is in the right place,
:53:33. > :53:37.his training partner, Galen Rupp from the United States was right
:53:37. > :53:42.with him, he is close enough to the front to do everything he possibly
:53:42. > :53:45.needs to do and before the race you were saying he was the favourite,
:53:45. > :53:50.before the race you are saying he could win this race, and during the
:53:50. > :53:54.race I have seen nothing that can change my mind, he is running a
:53:54. > :53:57.Supreme race here, great confidence, he hasn't done anything yet, he
:53:57. > :54:07.hasn't bothered to dig into his reserves and he has got time to do
:54:07. > :54:36.
:54:36. > :54:40.is interesting. I didn't think Quiros was looking good, Wilson
:54:41. > :54:50.Kirrop. Just trying to see if he is all right. Not quite sure what that
:54:51. > :54:54.
:54:54. > :54:59.was all about. Two Kenyans left at the front. The pace is still
:54:59. > :55:09.nothing excessive. There is the great Kenenisa Bekele, up close to
:55:09. > :55:10.
:55:10. > :55:20.the front. Behind him you can see Mo Farah looking down the track,
:55:20. > :55:30.Galen Rupp moving into third place behind the two Kenyan athletes.
:55:30. > :55:38.
:55:38. > :55:47.Being overtaken by terror could Bekele. Eight laps to go. The race
:55:47. > :55:52.is getting really serious. 3,000 metres to go. 2.39 for that, too.
:55:52. > :56:02.Galen Rupp has got closer for the first time. Mo Farah stars to leave
:56:02. > :56:11.
:56:11. > :56:14.with her. They have been coached by sellers are -- Salazar. They are
:56:14. > :56:24.side by side fought so many miles, normally Mo Farah has the kick at
:56:24. > :56:29.
:56:29. > :56:39.the end. A can he find something, does pushing Mo Farah in the back
:56:39. > :56:47.
:56:47. > :56:55.Kenenisa Bekele hasn't done anything yet. The pace is getting
:56:55. > :57:00.faster. Now it is about gathering yourself, gathering your confidence,
:57:00. > :57:05.or remembering your game plan, your best tactics. Mo Farah can be
:57:05. > :57:13.lethal on the last lap but so can Kenenisa Bekele. And nobody has
:57:13. > :57:20.ever won the 10,000m three times in a row, no Briton has ever won it.
:57:20. > :57:29.Kenenisa Bekele just ahead of Mo Farah, just behind Mo Farah's
:57:29. > :57:38.training partner, Galen Rupp. 64.9 second lap. Still nobody has done
:57:38. > :57:47.anything exceptional. The crowd incredibly absorbed by this 10,000m
:57:47. > :57:57.final, wishing and winning their man on. He is in full flow, looked
:57:57. > :57:59.
:57:59. > :58:06.relaxed, so does Bekele, Tadese moving through on the inside. Here
:58:06. > :58:15.is Mo Farah looming on the outside for the first time. Tariku Bekele,
:58:15. > :58:20.Galen Rupp. Listen to the noise. It is slowing a little bit, it is
:58:20. > :58:25.building. The tension is building. This is the race we thought was
:58:25. > :58:35.going to happen. We have still got five laps to go, it is moving into
:58:35. > :58:35.
:58:36. > :58:42.sprinter's territory, 65.9, slowest lap for a long time. Mo Farah moves
:58:42. > :58:46.into third place and that is the first movie has made in the race.
:58:46. > :58:49.Incidentally Kenenisa Bekele Sea is following Mo Farah but he looks to
:58:49. > :58:56.be concentrating, he doesn't look desperate that I have seen him
:58:56. > :59:05.before, he looks in control, on the shoulder of Tariku Bekele he has
:59:05. > :59:11.got his training partner with him, Galen Rupp. Masai still leads, here
:59:11. > :59:14.comes Tadese again. Tensions going on, hugely significant. This is the
:59:14. > :59:19.point in the race when the guys need to start deciding what they
:59:19. > :59:24.will do, he will do it first, is anybody going to make a move, will
:59:24. > :59:31.anybody respond? They are looking for gaps on the inside. And there
:59:31. > :59:34.goes Mo Farah, for the first time, four laps to go, Mo Farah at the
:59:34. > :59:39.front. There he is, ready to move, he is in a good place on the
:59:39. > :59:45.outside. If anybody comes behind he will be ready to move, he has done
:59:45. > :59:51.everything right so far. Mo Farah teasing the field, teasing the
:59:51. > :00:00.crowd a little bit. He will not want to hit the front until it is a
:00:00. > :00:04.winning effort, until he is attempting to win this race. This
:00:04. > :00:12.is the first time we have seen the Ethiopian stride to take control.
:00:12. > :00:18.Tariku Bekele moves into second place. Masai is on the inside. They
:00:18. > :00:24.are all tightly bunched. Kenenisa Bekele still there, takes the
:00:24. > :00:34.inside read. Mo Farah has still got nice clear air. He is in a good
:00:34. > :00:34.
:00:34. > :00:40.spot. You have got to remember last night in the women's 10,000m, hard
:00:40. > :00:44.work was done so they was often in order to win the race. Three laps
:00:44. > :00:49.to go, somebody will have to do something soon. They are gathering,
:00:49. > :00:54.I hope nobody gets trapped. They could be dangers of somebody
:00:54. > :00:58.falling. Kenenisa Bekele in contention. Mo Farah in a great
:00:58. > :01:05.place on the outside ready to move. Galen Rupp, his training partner,
:01:05. > :01:11.is well positioned. Tariku Bekele, doing nothing other than blocking
:01:11. > :01:20.the track. A word of encouragement as they went past Chris Thompson.
:01:20. > :01:27.The crowds are already reaching a crescendo. Just over two laps to go.
:01:27. > :01:37.How easy does it look? Tariku Bekele leading. Mo Farah poised,
:01:37. > :01:37.
:01:37. > :01:47.ready. Dangerous in the last lap. There is Masai it. Kenenisa Bekele
:01:47. > :01:48.
:01:48. > :01:52.is in a terrible position at the moment. Two laps to go, 66, it is
:01:52. > :01:58.winding up. This is not a sprint yet. It hasn't started, we have
:01:58. > :02:04.been waiting for this. When will it break? He will go first?
:02:04. > :02:10.certainly hasn't started, Steve. To many in this group for comfort. It
:02:10. > :02:14.is about positioning yourself to move, positioning yourself for a
:02:14. > :02:19.last-lap effort. Mo Farah is in contention, Tariku Bekele is
:02:19. > :02:24.holding him up. Kenenisa Bekele is not in a grey place, he needs to
:02:24. > :02:29.perdition -- position himself better, he quickly moves up on the
:02:29. > :02:39.outside, and now we get a race on, it will come down to a last-lap
:02:39. > :02:51.
:02:51. > :02:58.lap to go. The bell rings. Is it tolling for a gold medal for Great
:02:58. > :03:05.Britain? Mo Farah trying to become the first Briton to win the Olympic
:03:05. > :03:15.title at 10,000m. He has got a little bit of company. Including
:03:15. > :03:16.
:03:16. > :03:22.his training partner. Kenenisa Bekele is looking far room on the
:03:22. > :03:31.inside. Mo Farah is kicking hard. The crowd are less Oppenheim and
:03:31. > :03:41.cheering him on. Just 100m to go bust up has he got enough? It is
:03:41. > :03:51.going to obey a glorious gold will start Mo Farah. It is gold! Oh, yes,
:03:51. > :03:55.
:03:55. > :04:05.oh, yes. The stadium erupts. Three gold medals for Great Britain. What
:04:05. > :04:11.
:04:11. > :04:21.a night! The emotion comes pouring out. Galen Rupp and Mo Farah took
:04:21. > :04:31.on the Africans and showed them how to do it. Unbelievable. Victorious,
:04:31. > :04:33.
:04:33. > :04:41.happy, glorious. His wife is expecting twins at short lived. In
:04:41. > :04:47.all of this excitement, hang on, Tanya. I cannot believe it. Brendan,
:04:47. > :04:53.you and I have sat and waited for many years, you Moya then me. All
:04:53. > :04:58.of us have sat and waited for a long-distance gold. I will say it
:04:58. > :05:06.again, a gold medal at the Olympic Games. And the weight was surely
:05:06. > :05:12.worth it. The 10,000m was one in the game's 100 years ago, but a
:05:12. > :05:17.Britain has never won a gold medal. We have waited 100 years for Mo
:05:17. > :05:25.Farah. There is Chris Thomson just finishing and he will be as excited
:05:25. > :05:33.as the rest of us. Greg Rutherford, Olympic champion in the long jump.
:05:33. > :05:43.Somewhere backstage is Jessica Ennis. Fancy finishing the night
:05:43. > :05:44.
:05:44. > :05:49.off with a win in the 10,000m. He really is our hero tonight. There
:05:49. > :05:54.is his wife and daughter. I hope they get a chance to meet him. I
:05:54. > :06:00.hope nothing happens tonight because she has been so excited and
:06:00. > :06:05.so nervous. Let's hope she can wait a little bit longer. They have been
:06:05. > :06:15.training together in Oregon on a daily basis, Mo Farah and Galen
:06:15. > :06:16.
:06:16. > :06:26.Rupp. Get on the track. Those two lads have been through a lot
:06:26. > :06:34.
:06:34. > :06:44.together, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah. What a night! I do not know
:06:44. > :06:44.
:06:44. > :06:54.about you, but what a night to be British. Heart pounding, great
:06:54. > :07:01.scenes, lovely, lovely scenes. She looks calm and collected, but I'd
:07:01. > :07:10.bet she is not. I spoke to her a few minutes before and she was so
:07:10. > :07:17.nervous. Do you think he can do it? Thank goodness she did not run
:07:17. > :07:26.across the track. I am pleased his daughter ran across the track.
:07:26. > :07:34.Fantastic, congratulations to Mo Farah a. We have watched them for a
:07:34. > :07:39.long time. Now with his wife on the track. What a glorious moment. I
:07:39. > :07:48.think we should always have the Olympic Games in London. It works
:07:48. > :07:58.for us. What a picture, what a night. Do we have to come back
:07:58. > :08:01.
:08:01. > :08:06.tomorrow? Well, we have had three gold medals and let's speak to
:08:06. > :08:16.somebody who had his own moment of celebration while that was going on.
:08:16. > :08:18.
:08:18. > :08:23.I have only got another Olympic You are Olympic champion. I do not
:08:23. > :08:30.think I will ever get bored of hearing that. That is the most
:08:30. > :08:34.amazing feeling in the world. Four years ago I had a horrible time and
:08:34. > :08:42.my granddad passed away and I could not cope in the final. I have got
:08:42. > :08:49.one of the best teams in the world. I get so poor at from the Rotary
:08:49. > :08:56.Club in Bedford and by most amazing parents. And My beautiful
:08:56. > :09:01.girlfriend. Everything. Generally life is pretty beat it all right
:09:01. > :09:07.now? I cannot tell you how much everybody has worked so hard for me
:09:07. > :09:11.as well as myself will stop this has been a long process. To be
:09:11. > :09:21.honest, I thought I was going to jump further than that, but I do
:09:21. > :09:22.
:09:22. > :09:28.not care. It has only been since Lynn Davies in 1964. We have to get
:09:28. > :09:34.rid of those black and white images. I am glad I can emulate something
:09:34. > :09:41.like that. What a night for Great Britain, three gold medals out of a
:09:41. > :09:45.possible three. I cannot think everybody at home enough and the
:09:45. > :09:52.crowd were absolutely incredible. I do not think it has sunk in a
:09:52. > :09:55.properly. This is what I have dreamt of my entire life. I knew I
:09:55. > :10:05.was going to be a sportsman and when I picked athletics I knew I
:10:05. > :10:06.
:10:06. > :10:11.was going to beat an athlete and I have done it in London. You said
:10:11. > :10:16.you were going to do it and you have done it. The nation shares you
:10:16. > :10:25.join with you. Thank you to everybody at home and everybody on
:10:25. > :10:33.Twitter and everybody who has been supporting me. Go and celebrate.
:10:33. > :10:43.Brendan, just to clear-up one thing. Tariku Bekele won the bronze medal.
:10:43. > :10:49.
:10:49. > :10:55.But it was playing into Mo Farah's fast or too demanding so far. But
:10:55. > :11:02.there are still too many. Now Mo Farah begins to stretch, but he is
:11:02. > :11:07.not doing everything yet. He is just tiring them. Here comes Galen
:11:07. > :11:14.Rupp, his training partner, both of them training in Oregon, and
:11:14. > :11:20.getting ready for this race. Tariku Bekele of Ethiopia is the challenge
:11:20. > :11:28.at the moment. Here comes the champion trying to win it for the
:11:28. > :11:33.third time, Kenenisa Bekele. But Mo Farah is not going to be beaten. We
:11:33. > :11:39.have waited a long time before a British Long Distance runner to win
:11:39. > :11:47.an Olympic title. The wait has been well worth it. Mo Farah crosses the
:11:47. > :11:54.line, Galen Rupp in second place and Tariku Bekele in third. You can
:11:54. > :12:00.see the expression on his face. He wants it more than anyone. He is
:12:00. > :12:10.crossing the line blowing kisses if you like. You concede defeat on the
:12:10. > :12:15.
:12:15. > :12:21.This will be the moment that inspires the next generation. That
:12:21. > :12:24.is one of the things the London Games is about. This man will
:12:25. > :12:34.inspire the next generation of distance runners. Well done, Mo
:12:35. > :13:03.
:13:03. > :13:07.probably is the most talented field ever assembled for a major
:13:07. > :13:16.championship 100m final. All eight athletes have run under 11 seconds
:13:16. > :13:22.this year. Allyson Felix, not her best event, but she did run 10.94
:13:22. > :13:31.to make it to this final. Tiana Madison has been a great surprise
:13:31. > :13:35.this year. Also at 10.92. Carmelita Jeter, the third American. It is a
:13:35. > :13:44.long time since the Americans have won this title, 1996 with Gale
:13:44. > :13:49.divas. Can Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica retain the title she won
:13:49. > :13:59.so well in the Bird's Nest four years ago? Carmelita Jeter looks
:13:59. > :14:00.
:14:00. > :14:10.dangerous, but will the American get away to a good start? The
:14:10. > :14:26.
:14:26. > :14:33.also Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is going to
:14:33. > :14:41.retain her title. Carmelita Jeter get silver. I think Veronica
:14:41. > :14:51.Campbell-Brown gets the bronze to add to the one she won in 2004.
:14:51. > :14:52.
:14:52. > :15:02.10.75 seconds. She was just 21 years old when she won the title in
:15:02. > :15:02.
:15:02. > :15:08.the previous Olympic Games. Thank you, Jesus. What a competitor. It
:15:08. > :15:13.is not all about Usain Bolt in Jamaica. The Jamaicans had a clean
:15:13. > :15:20.sweep of medals four years ago it will stop they have got two medals
:15:20. > :15:26.here. Veronica Campbell-Brown confirmed in third place. Carmelita
:15:26. > :15:31.Jeter three hundredths of a second behind Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Now
:15:31. > :15:39.a double Olympic champion. becomes the third woman to retain
:15:39. > :15:49.her Olympic title. It is also the quickest 100m ever run in Great
:15:49. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :16:01.Britain. 10.75. Six women under 11 seconds. Suzanne's best. -- the
:16:01. > :16:09.season's best. That is fine sprint medals they have won in the last
:16:09. > :16:19.two Olympic 100m piles. Carmelita Jeter, 10.78, still a prodigious
:16:19. > :16:22.
:16:22. > :16:29.time, steep. Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce does not panic. She holds her
:16:29. > :16:34.grip really well. She gets it not by much. Carmelita Jeter thought
:16:34. > :16:43.she was going to get it. The one disappointment was Blessing
:16:43. > :16:53.Okagbare, she was really slow. She really wanted it. Look at that
:16:53. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :17:01.expression on her face. She was not sure. Such a good starter. She
:17:01. > :17:11.needed to be in the race. But then at the last 15 metres is where she
:17:11. > :17:16.
:17:16. > :17:22.has been very good recently. Jamaica's success continues. It was
:17:22. > :17:32.almost an anti-climax, although that is not the right word, but on
:17:32. > :17:45.
:17:45. > :17:51.the 200 metres title later in the Games, Maddison finishing quickly
:17:51. > :18:01.indeed. That in itself is a record, nobody has ever run that fast and
:18:01. > :18:06.
:18:06. > :18:09.get in Atlanta where the Great Britain team won one gold medal and
:18:09. > :18:14.here we are with six in one day, this man rounding it off, you can
:18:14. > :18:18.see the headlines tomorrow. It is just extraordinary. Three gold
:18:18. > :18:24.medals for British athletes in one session at an Olympic Games for the
:18:24. > :18:30.first time ever, ever. Those three, Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford from
:18:30. > :18:40.Milton Keynes, they will name a roundabout after him, and the one
:18:40. > :18:41.
:18:41. > :18:45.What a night, congratulations all round, from 80,000 people here, I
:18:45. > :18:49.know it is an emotional moment, you are Olympic champion. I am so
:18:49. > :18:52.shocked, I cannot believe it. After the javelin and knew I was on for a
:18:52. > :18:59.good score in the middle but I couldn't even let myself believe it
:18:59. > :19:03.until I crossed the finish line. I honestly can't believe it, all this
:19:03. > :19:09.hard work and the disappointment of Beijing. Everybody just supporting
:19:09. > :19:13.me so much. You deserve those tears, you missed Beijing because of that
:19:13. > :19:17.serious foot injury, and the way you have managed to rebound, world
:19:17. > :19:21.champion, losing the world title, still coming back and doing what
:19:21. > :19:28.you have done, better than ever before, a new British record. Are
:19:28. > :19:38.you OK? I am just shocked. Everybody that has supported me,
:19:38. > :19:41.awarded by everybody, my family. I am so happy. There are a lot of
:19:41. > :19:45.people are going to this, for all you are out there doing the
:19:45. > :19:52.business, you coach, your mum and dad, her fiance, they are sharing
:19:52. > :19:56.this moment with you. They have been here yesterday and today, and
:19:56. > :19:59.Tony and everybody who has worked with me over the past few years.
:19:59. > :20:02.After Beijing everybody said we're going for another four years to
:20:02. > :20:06.make sure you get there in one piece and finish what we started
:20:06. > :20:10.and now I have done that, I am so thankful everybody has helped me
:20:10. > :20:14.all this way. We talked a couple of weeks ago about do you believe in
:20:15. > :20:18.fate of destiny. But to do it here on a night like this, in London, in
:20:18. > :20:23.front of 80,000 people cheering you every step of the way, to win the
:20:23. > :20:26.800 to finish off. I just have to give it everything at the end, I
:20:26. > :20:29.would only have one moment to do this in front of a home crowd in
:20:29. > :20:32.London and I just wanted to make sure I gave them such a show and
:20:32. > :20:37.daughter home and left everything on the track. Would you like a
:20:37. > :20:44.little taste of it later in the week as well, maybe in the hurdles?
:20:44. > :20:49.I am not sure. I think any to savour this moment and enjoy its.
:20:49. > :20:53.Could you begin to sum up the emotions, just a final word, I know
:20:53. > :20:57.it is difficult. The nation has been behind you, supported you all
:20:57. > :21:01.the way, have you got a message. Just to thank them so much, it has
:21:01. > :21:07.been a stressful year, a lot of pressure put on me, everybody
:21:07. > :21:10.thought I was going to win that medal and it has been up and down,
:21:10. > :21:18.but everybody has supported me and helped me get where I am today, I
:21:18. > :21:21.found them so much. We had Michael Johnson in 96 delivered, and you
:21:21. > :21:26.were the face of the games and you have delivered. A cannot believe I
:21:26. > :21:30.have done it. It has been great having the support of, but a huge
:21:30. > :21:33.amount of pressure coming into this. I just tried to stay focused and
:21:33. > :21:38.knew I could do it and the crowd helped me and I have done it, I
:21:38. > :21:43.cannot believe it. Jessica Ennis, Olympic champion, it sounds great,
:21:43. > :21:46.congratulations. Thank you so much. How many generations do you want to
:21:46. > :21:51.inspire at the same time, three Olympic champions from such
:21:51. > :21:55.different background and one of them is with Phil Jones. Mo Farah,
:21:55. > :22:00.10,000m, Olympic champion, on a night of three gold medals for
:22:00. > :22:04.Great Britain, can you believe what has happened? I cannot believe it,
:22:04. > :22:10.the crowd got behind me, it was getting a loud laugh either. If I
:22:10. > :22:14.have never experienced something like this, it doesn't come out of
:22:14. > :22:24.often, having people shout at you know this is the best moment of my
:22:24. > :22:25.
:22:25. > :22:31.life. 100 for two hours a week of a long-distance events that what he

:22:44. > :22:49.I want to thank everybody who has supported me from my Chelt had up
:22:49. > :22:55.til now -- childhood. I want to enjoy his moment. It is just
:22:55. > :22:59.beginning to sink in. I know it was momentous, you were able to share
:22:59. > :23:03.it with your wife and daughter. That meant so much, see my daughter,
:23:03. > :23:08.really emotional, she came running towards me. You have got a present
:23:08. > :23:12.for her. Somebody gave me it so I want to give her this. And a gold
:23:12. > :23:15.medal already round your neck. You will get the real deal before long.
:23:15. > :23:18.You came into here as one of the favourites, if not the favourite,
:23:18. > :23:22.you had so much pressure, after what you did at the world
:23:22. > :23:25.championships last year, had it taken out of your grasp, the way
:23:25. > :23:29.you have managed to deliver this give you so much joy. If my legs
:23:29. > :23:34.were getting tired and I had to begin in the last bit, the crowd
:23:34. > :23:39.gave me that beast, and a news that he was coming and my training
:23:39. > :23:43.partner did well coming second. Unbelievable. What about all those
:23:43. > :23:53.people along the way who have supported you, I know it goes way
:23:53. > :23:54.
:23:54. > :24:02.beyond Europe and the media team. Unbelievable, my coaches, p teacher,
:24:03. > :24:06.a people from my childhood, my coach now, Alberto. I want to
:24:06. > :24:10.offend everybody who has supported me. I cannot find enough people on
:24:10. > :24:14.television, I wanted that everybody who has associated with me. 80,000
:24:14. > :24:23.people, millions at home, if you were a national hero before, you
:24:23. > :24:25.certainly are now. Thank you to certainly are now. Thank you to

:24:34. > :24:44.the FA. To reap the Bekele he finishes ahead of his brother to
:24:44. > :24:47.take the bronze for Ethiopia. -- Not only have we seen incredible
:24:47. > :24:51.events in the athletics stadium, but Team GB in the football are
:24:51. > :24:57.playing South Korea. It has gone to a penalty shoot-out. Both teams
:24:57. > :25:03.have scored their first penalty, such a crazy day, we might even win
:25:03. > :25:13.one of them. There's joined Jonathan Pearce with Mark Lawrenson.

:29:53. > :30:01.always looked nervous. There is the goalkeeper who had to go off
:30:01. > :30:05.injured. Somebody go and console him. Just as soon as he stopped
:30:05. > :30:10.there and the goalkeeper decided, slight movement of the feet, he
:30:10. > :30:20.decided where he was going. That was a really good safe. He also
:30:20. > :30:24.
:30:24. > :30:34.dived out. And the Celtic player to break British hearts and the dream
:30:34. > :30:37.
:30:37. > :30:47.of Olympic gold. The nation needs you. South Korea go through. Great
:30:47. > :30:48.

:30:51. > :30:58.many heroes have been beaten in these Olympics, for Great Britain
:30:58. > :31:06.it is the last defeat of this competition. Beaten on companies,
:31:06. > :31:16.5-4. -- beaten on penalties. Some things never change, Team GB
:31:16. > :31:21.
:31:21. > :31:26.Let's not let that get us down, after what has been a truly
:31:26. > :31:29.magnificent evening in that stadium over there, lit up red, white and
:31:29. > :31:36.blue. So it should be. We are expecting the medal ceremony any
:31:36. > :31:40.minute now. Les rejoin John Inverdale. There's just established
:31:40. > :31:45.the fact, it is the first time in Olympic history great Britain has
:31:45. > :31:50.won three medals in one athletics session. Greg Rutherford, Jessica
:31:50. > :31:55.Ennis, Mo Farah, and it is the first time we have had a gold medal
:31:55. > :32:01.in an Olympic Games track and field meeting on an Olympic track in this
:32:01. > :32:05.country since 19 awake. We waited 104 years for one gold medal, and
:32:05. > :32:13.three came along at the same time, never mind London buses. We got
:32:13. > :32:16.three. Sir Paul McCartney there, he was at the Velodrome earlier. Where
:32:16. > :32:23.McCartney goes, gold follows, we should ship him around to every
:32:23. > :32:31.single venue. Denise, let's do it in chronological order. Jessica
:32:31. > :32:35.Ennis. All the hype, all the talk, all the pressure and she delivered.
:32:35. > :32:43.I am so exhausted, it is hard to find the words to describe what she
:32:44. > :32:50.has done here. You wait for moments like this in your career to witness
:32:50. > :32:55.greatness. She could have sat back, she didn't need to run this hard,
:32:55. > :33:02.sheet is that type of athlete, she wanted to feel that magical moment
:33:02. > :33:08.when she crossed the line with arms aloft, and isn't that just the best
:33:08. > :33:18.image you could have witnessed, it was fantastic. Tears and tears.
:33:18. > :33:21.
:33:21. > :33:26.Greg Rutherford. Colin. I have been thinking that time when he won a
:33:26. > :33:31.silver medal, he had a lot of chance of developing, niggling
:33:31. > :33:35.injuries all the time. The risk of changing his coach and thinking if
:33:35. > :33:39.I am going to make it I have to make changes. He made the changes
:33:39. > :33:45.and they worked wonders for him. He is now the Olympic champion, great
:33:45. > :33:50.performance. You were able to watch Mo Farah's race and it was
:33:50. > :33:56.extraordinary, such a mess in a way, he was the third, 12, 4th, 9th, a
:33:56. > :34:03.lot of pushing and jostling. How to assess the way he kept his race
:34:03. > :34:07.plan and deliver it? With a lot of tactics he was fortunate to have
:34:07. > :34:14.Galen Rupp there, the American who ran a fantastic race, to work with
:34:14. > :34:22.because normally the others will gang up on him. He was able to hold
:34:22. > :34:28.his form, went in with a race plan, he led from last year. This was
:34:28. > :34:38.playing into his hands. He showed guts and literally ran away from
:34:38. > :34:40.
:34:40. > :34:48.the field. Really happy. A lot of expectation that he should win.
:34:48. > :34:53.Nobody expected Greg Rutherford, we knew it would be tough for Jessica.
:34:53. > :34:59.By and large we have still got 75,000 in here. Greg Rutherford's
:34:59. > :35:04.medal ceremony tomorrow, and Mo Farah's but Jessica Ennis's medal
:35:04. > :35:10.ceremony coming up shortly. The noise when she can sat in a few
:35:10. > :35:20.moments time, if we had a roof, it would raise it. It was a perfect
:35:20. > :35:25.
:35:25. > :35:28.evening, it is mild, Barmby, and -- balmy. Could we ever have a
:35:28. > :35:32.management -- imagined we would have three gold medals? Jessica
:35:32. > :35:38.Ennis was thinking friends, family, but somebody who has been crucial
:35:38. > :35:45.in a development and becoming a bit jumpy in his head coach. What a
:35:46. > :35:50.night it has been, how emotional. The man behind the success. I was
:35:50. > :35:55.only really nervous before the 800 because at that point it was really
:35:55. > :36:00.real. That is the point when you fall over, if you break early, that
:36:00. > :36:06.is the one real time I have been nervous, let's go through things
:36:06. > :36:11.nice and steady. She ran very quickly for the first 200, another
:36:11. > :36:14.small heart attack. This crowd that to drag her around, when she came
:36:14. > :36:18.through she was so emotional. A huge build-up. I cannot believe the
:36:18. > :36:22.crowd. When she was introduced at the first event you couldn't hear
:36:22. > :36:25.the introduction and a minute try to hear the introduction to the
:36:25. > :36:30.800m it was crazy, you really couldn't hear it. They have been
:36:30. > :36:36.loud but that was incredible. me about all that hard work through
:36:36. > :36:41.all those years that have come together to make this moment happen,
:36:41. > :36:46.if you count? Don't make me cry. It has been along for years, four
:36:46. > :36:53.years ago we were sitting at her house watching the Baysham Olympics
:36:53. > :36:57.and thinking, what might have been. -- Beijing Olympics. Then there was
:36:57. > :37:02.moments of doubt, a bit of injury last year. Then to come here and
:37:02. > :37:09.perform the way she has, incredible. What has been your job to keep her
:37:09. > :37:14.calm, keep her in check, with that swell of publicity, the face of the
:37:14. > :37:19.Games? She has kept me calm. There has been a lot of pressure, when
:37:19. > :37:23.Lord Coe suggested she was the face of the gains it to go from there. -
:37:23. > :37:29.- face of the Games. I have seen billboards all over the place. She
:37:29. > :37:37.is everywhere. It has been pretty surreal, what will happen after now,
:37:37. > :37:40.I dunno. The person he was the face of the games before the Games may
:37:40. > :37:46.find herself as the face of the Games after the Games and that was
:37:46. > :37:51.all we could ever have asked of her. Red, white and blue lighting up the
:37:51. > :37:55.Olympic Stadium tonight. Michael and Colin were talking about how
:37:55. > :38:00.Jessica Ennis absorbed all the pressure but never lost sight of
:38:00. > :38:05.the key thing being there was a job to be done and that was to become
:38:05. > :38:15.Olympic champion. I know in many ways that's why you admire her more
:38:15. > :38:15.
:38:15. > :38:19.than anything else. The job she had in front of her, I know a lot of
:38:19. > :38:23.people thought she could do it, but you still have to deliver on the
:38:23. > :38:28.day, she did that. That is why you have to respect her. She talked
:38:28. > :38:37.about the pressure briefly. But she managed to absorb that, internalise
:38:37. > :38:44.it. She really enjoyed it. I am sure it is incredible joy and
:38:44. > :38:51.emotion. After Beijing, there was a disaster, she wasn't able to make
:38:51. > :39:00.that team, then making an Olympics on home soil and having that
:39:00. > :39:03.success. Got food poisoning, wasn't able to win, and then this was all
:39:03. > :39:12.kind of emotion, I'm sure that is what she is feeling right now. I
:39:12. > :39:19.can be happy -- I couldn't be happier for her. Listen to this,
:39:19. > :39:29.the cheering for Jessica Ennis at London 2012. Please welcome your
:39:29. > :39:30.
:39:30. > :39:40.I am sure this is just the kind of moment Paul Dickenson always dreamt
:39:40. > :39:52.
:39:52. > :39:55.A very special moment indeed. Lord Coe. They will be very proud.
:39:55. > :40:05.Sebastian Coe joined us in a commentary box yesterday and he
:40:05. > :40:10.
:40:10. > :40:15.said, you know, I think we got the A wonderful evening, the track and
:40:15. > :40:21.field athletics of the highest quality. Jessica produced the 5th
:40:21. > :40:30.highest total in heptathlon terms of all time. British and
:40:30. > :40:36.Commonwealth records as well. Tatyana Chernova gets her second
:40:36. > :40:46.Olympic bronze medal. This tall, elegant Russian certainly has a lot
:40:46. > :40:59.
:40:59. > :41:04.of talent. But she was well beaten A little while ago they were
:41:04. > :41:10.playing a Beatles record, and there is one person in the stadium who
:41:10. > :41:13.everybody loves, she is standing there right in the middle.
:41:13. > :41:17.Schwarzkopf had a performance of her life. It has taken her for
:41:17. > :41:20.years to rise from eight in the Olympic test -- the Olympic
:41:20. > :41:30.heptathlon to the silver medal position. The Germans have a new
:41:30. > :41:33.
:41:33. > :41:38.star here. But she was a long way behind the champion. And as her
:41:38. > :41:42.coach, who is sitting just in front of us here, said about what
:41:42. > :41:47.happened four years ago when Jessica was injured, I wonder if
:41:47. > :41:54.then she dreamt of what would happen in four years' time. A
:41:54. > :42:04.perfect today's for the Olympic heptathlon Channa -- champion,
:42:04. > :42:21.
:42:21. > :42:31.She is very definitely the Queen of London 2012.
:42:31. > :42:52.
:42:52. > :43:02.She will never forget this evening Please stand for the national

:43:16. > :43:26.# God save the Queen! # Send her victorious.
:43:26. > :43:29.
:43:29. > :43:39.# Happy and glorious. # Long to reign over us.
:43:39. > :43:58.

:44:28. > :44:33.100. Just amazing. Denise, Michael, Colin, thanks for being here,
:44:33. > :44:42.sharing an extraordinary evening for British sport. That is the
:44:42. > :44:49.picture of 2012. Denise? Sometimes you have no words to describe this.
:44:49. > :44:59.The pictures tell 1000 stories. All you can say is, sometimes you love
:44:59. > :45:02.
:45:02. > :45:09.sport, sometimes you hate it, but What a spectacular day. Jessica
:45:09. > :45:19.Ennis, what a hero. Magnificent effort. The beautiful scenes inside
:45:19. > :45:23.the stadium. What an extraordinary day, six gold medals, two from our
:45:23. > :45:30.brilliant rowing team, another for our all-conquering cyclists and
:45:30. > :45:33.three in the Olympic Stadium itself, what a day. Jessica Ennis
:45:33. > :45:38.electrified the Olympic Stadium with a dominant display to win gold
:45:38. > :45:45.in the heptathlon. The 26-year-old eclipsed Harome British record

:45:52. > :45:58.was followed by a gold medal for Greg Rutherford, he nearly quit
:45:58. > :46:01.after Beijing, he will be glad he didn't. In a sensational finale in
:46:01. > :46:11.the Olympic Stadium Mo Farah's sprint finish ensured he became
