coming thick and fast. Lovely to see you. I know we keep saying they

:00:10.:00:15.

are getting better and better by the day, but today has already seen

:00:15.:00:20.

some truly remarkable moments. Tonight we promise you more of.

British man to bid for a title in It is a huge night of athletics and

:01:22.:01:28.

we will be live for all the big moments. Mo Farah has been lapping

:01:28.:01:33.

up raised over the last 18 months, but he is up against the two-times

:01:33.:01:39.

defending champion and living legend Kenny Aliza Bekele. The

:01:39.:01:46.

poster girl of the Games, desert Ennis, has just one event to global

:01:46.:01:52.

stock she carries a healthy lead into the concluding 800m. It is

:01:52.:01:56.

nearly half a century since the Great Britain last medals in the

:01:56.:02:02.

men's long jump. Local girl Christine off Oregon continues the

:02:02.:02:10.

defence of her 400m title. She has a tough semi that includes Sanya

:02:10.:02:15.

Richards Ross. It is semi-final time as well for a world champion

:02:15.:02:21.

Dai Greene in the 400m hurdles. He needs a top two finish to be sure

:02:21.:02:29.

:02:39.:02:46.

day's action. The athletics stars with the men's 400 metres semi-

:02:46.:02:56.
:02:56.:02:57.

with the men's 400 metres semi- finals. Jessica Ennis's 7th and

:02:57.:03:07.
:03:07.:03:15.

Here with us to look forward to what we hope will be an

:03:15.:03:18.

exceptionally good night inside the Olympic Stadium is Denise Lewis.

:03:18.:03:24.

There's show you how Jessica Ennis fared in the 5th and 6 disciplines

:03:24.:03:34.
:03:34.:03:37.

Is the sun shining on Jessica Ennis in the end of the stadium? The

:03:37.:03:47.
:03:47.:03:48.

stadium erupts. Oh, yes, it she nailed that jump. One step closer

:03:48.:03:52.

to the gold medal. The belief is growing now. She knows that was

:03:52.:04:02.
:04:02.:04:04.

If she goes further than six metres 40 centimetres you can begin to

:04:04.:04:14.
:04:14.:04:20.

hang the gold medal around her neck. 6.4 rate. -- 6.48. The moment is

:04:20.:04:30.
:04:30.:04:33.

Jessica Ennis looking very calm and collected. She has been sending the

:04:33.:04:39.

crowd into delirium this morning. Listen to the crowd for Jessica

:04:39.:04:44.

Ennis. If she can nail this first throw we can begin to think about

:04:44.:04:52.

gold medals. It is flying. What a start for the Sheffield Star. The

:04:52.:04:57.

crowd are responding just to the site of Jessica Ennis, for the

:04:57.:05:06.

third and last time. What a morning she has had. A new lifetime best,

:05:06.:05:12.

47.49. She has stood tall, strong, she might have the chance to do the

:05:12.:05:17.

glory run. All smiles for the Olympic champion elect, just one

:05:18.:05:27.
:05:28.:05:32.

event to go and I cannot wait. surely has an unassailable lead

:05:32.:05:38.

going into the 7th and final event. 188 points sheet by. We have got

:05:38.:05:48.

just the person to tell us how She is on the verge. She is on the

:05:48.:05:53.

verge, on the cusp. But having to really dig deep in that long jump

:05:53.:05:58.

was sensational. It was really great to watch her. She just use

:05:59.:06:02.

the energy of the crowd. She looked in acknowledgement at what they

:06:02.:06:09.

have done for her this last couple of days. It was priceless. The

:06:09.:06:14.

javelin, somebody who just one year ago was having a disaster has

:06:14.:06:18.

tended round to just something really special. She has got a date

:06:18.:06:27.

with destiny. We are all a little bit concerned because there was so

:06:27.:06:31.

much expectation on her shoulders that acquired Cindy Butts rather

:06:31.:06:36.

than inspire her. She has shown how to use the crowd to their benefit.

:06:36.:06:42.

She is very level-headed, very measured in her approach, she has

:06:42.:06:46.

got a competitive spirit like no other. When you are ready and ready

:06:46.:06:51.

to win you just absorb that energy and it makes you stronger and more

:06:51.:06:58.

able to do what you do best. points, how far is that in track

:06:58.:07:05.

terms, what lead dish she have? has got enough. What is special

:07:05.:07:12.

about that points difference is she can enjoy the 800m and let the

:07:12.:07:17.

crowds help her rounds. It really does depend what her coach has said

:07:17.:07:21.

to her in the final couple of hours. It is either run your heart out,

:07:21.:07:25.

you have done what you have come to do, just enjoy it. What ever you

:07:25.:07:35.
:07:35.:07:39.

Let's look back on another thrilling Day at Eton Dorney. Kate

:07:39.:07:49.
:07:49.:08:00.

Copland and Sophie Hosking going women's lightweight double sculls

:08:00.:08:04.

and Great Britain are in lane six, they will be closest to us. The

:08:04.:08:13.

world champions, Greece, are there. Katherine Copeland and Sophie

:08:13.:08:23.
:08:23.:08:31.

Edging up into first place! They are leading the Olympic final at

:08:32.:08:38.

Eton Dorney and they haven't even started this print! They can do

:08:38.:08:45.

this -- their sprint! They just have to believe. Great Britain are

:08:45.:08:51.

starting to get away! Sophie Hosking, Katherine Copeland, they

:08:51.:08:56.

came together this year and they have formed a fabulous partnership.

:08:56.:09:02.

Hold on, girls! It is yours! The is could be Britain's third women's

:09:02.:09:07.

gold medal of these Olympics, but the first ever women's lightweight

:09:07.:09:17.

gold medals. This is history in terms of rowing. Great Britain have

:09:17.:09:22.

only 25 strokes remaining and they are the Olympic champions! The

:09:22.:09:28.

whole of the Eton Dorney is going absolutely mad. Katherine

:09:28.:09:35.

Copeland's first ever senior race. Greece fighting back past China to

:09:35.:09:40.

try to get into the silver medal position. Sophie Hosking and

:09:40.:09:47.

Katherine Copeland, up to the line! They are the Olympic champions! An

:09:47.:09:51.

incredible, incredible race! They go into the record books and they

:09:51.:09:57.

have who glorious this morning at Eton Dorney! They cannot believe

:09:57.:10:04.

what they have done. That is what it means to be an Olympic champion!

:10:04.:10:14.
:10:14.:10:15.

I cannot believe it is real, that we just won! I don't know... We

:10:15.:10:25.
:10:25.:10:34.

Notice now, just smiles. I am delighted be joined by Katherine

:10:34.:10:40.

Copeland and Sophie Hosking. The mixture of delight and disbelief

:10:40.:10:44.

almost in your face is at the end was quite something. Yeah, I mean,

:10:44.:10:50.

we knew what we could do but we had been so focused on delivering a

:10:50.:10:54.

performance, and then when we crossed the line it was the

:10:54.:10:59.

realisation of what we had achieved. It hasn't sunk in yet. It is just

:10:59.:11:05.

fantastic. Lovely scenes. You were both trying to sing the national

:11:05.:11:10.

anthem and you could not quite manage it! You will blubbering! It

:11:10.:11:17.

is the culmination of a lifetime's work. It must be wonderful. I think

:11:17.:11:22.

as well to me, everything has happened so quickly. Like, when I

:11:22.:11:26.

started this year, I really wanted to give it a shot to try to get

:11:26.:11:30.

onto the team because I thought I would regret it forever if I did

:11:30.:11:34.

not try, and it didn't feel real when I got to the team, and then

:11:34.:11:39.

when we won, I don't think I have processed it yet. To see my mum and

:11:39.:11:46.

dad and my coach and everyone in the stands, it was just... Amazing.

:11:46.:11:51.

Everybody says the crowd at Eton Dorney is unbelievable. It is

:11:51.:11:55.

fantastic. We experienced it in the heats in the semi-final and that

:11:55.:12:01.

prepared us to be ready for it. But it was louder today. It is better

:12:01.:12:06.

than any event I have ever race that. The support of the nation

:12:06.:12:10.

behind you is just fantastic and we would like to thank everyone who

:12:10.:12:15.

has come down to watch. It is really amazing. Eyes sought James

:12:15.:12:24.

Cracknell, I heard him on the radio, -- I saw James Cracknell. He was

:12:24.:12:29.

saying you seemed to exceed expectations. I think, when it

:12:30.:12:36.

comes to events like this, it sort of comes out and you just see the

:12:36.:12:41.

final race, the public. I certainly did not come here expecting to win

:12:41.:12:45.

but we all trained so hard and we train every day and we have such a

:12:45.:12:52.

good group, and I always thought it was possible. It certainly was. It

:12:52.:12:57.

was brilliant, magnificent. On behalf of the country, thank you, a

:12:58.:13:01.

well done. That was not the only triumph for

:13:01.:13:06.

Great Britain. The flagship men's four crashed a challenge from

:13:06.:13:10.

Australia to win a fourth successive Olympic gold medal in

:13:10.:13:20.
:13:20.:13:20.

the event. After an aborted start, Mark Hunter and Zac Purchase were

:13:20.:13:24.

denied a hat-trick as Denmark edged them into silver in the lightweight

:13:24.:13:31.

double sculls. The recent gold rush has ensured that Great Britain

:13:31.:13:41.
:13:41.:13:45.

finished on top of the rowing medal exceeded. A magnificent effort from

:13:45.:13:53.

Clare and Mark will be on the red button with the last night of the

:13:53.:14:00.

swimming from 7:15pm. I will have Ian Thorpe alongside me later, as

:14:00.:14:04.

we dig in and out of the swimming pool, but for now let's get back to

:14:04.:14:07.

the athletics stadium, where John Inverdale is looking forward to

:14:07.:14:12.

what should be a very special evening indeed. Saturday night

:14:12.:14:20.

Olympic fever, this is the straps at inferno! We are ridiculously

:14:20.:14:28.

excited. Mo and Jess at this evening. Ridiculously excited. I

:14:28.:14:32.

will show this statistic at you, Michael and Colin. You will say,

:14:32.:14:38.

really? The last British athlete, because we could get two gold

:14:38.:14:43.

medals in the stadium tonight, and the last British athlete to win a

:14:43.:14:47.

track and field gold medal in London was... You won't know. We

:14:47.:14:54.

did not get any in 1948. Wyndham has well got a walkover in the 400m

:14:54.:15:04.
:15:04.:15:11.

in 19 oh wait! We have waited 104 years -- 19 oh -- 1908. That is

:15:11.:15:17.

longer than Wimbledon! Dai Greene will be on the track very shortly.

:15:17.:15:24.

Good evening. Hallows. Steve Cram. Good evening indeed. -- hello.

:15:25.:15:29.

are all nervous. Building up to what we hope will be a cracking

:15:29.:15:39.
:15:39.:15:53.

evening. Dai Greene is first on has a pretty good job but he has

:15:54.:15:59.

some big names. Felix Sanchez, the Olympic champion from 80 is a gold.

:15:59.:16:09.
:16:09.:16:12.

Gordon, a brilliant talent, still only 20 years of old. Angelo Taylor

:16:12.:16:22.
:16:22.:16:46.

came through to win it last time in their flag in the opening ceremony.

:16:46.:16:56.
:16:56.:16:59.

And the Senegalese in lane nine, yesterday, Dai Greene was actually

:16:59.:17:06.

in lane one. Much better to be in lane seven. The first two only. The

:17:06.:17:11.

two fastest will be through to the final from the three semi-finals.

:17:11.:17:16.

He has found his best form of the season, finally in Paris. He needs

:17:16.:17:21.

to run something like that. He was close to Kriss Akabusi's British

:17:21.:17:26.

record on that night, but he still finished second. It was the Dai

:17:26.:17:32.

Greene that we saw last year, world champion, European champion,

:17:32.:17:41.

Commonwealth champion, Olympic semi-final... He needs to get this

:17:41.:17:51.
:17:51.:18:26.

200 on the inside. Clement forcing Dai Greene to pick it up. Sanchez

:18:26.:18:32.

hit that hard. Dai Greene has some work to do! Sanchez is flying!

:18:32.:18:36.

Gordon and Clement are struggling. Dai Greene has got to pick it up!

:18:36.:18:44.

He has got a lot of ground to make up! Sanchez is flying! Dai Greene,

:18:44.:18:54.
:18:54.:18:56.

only fourth. I am not sure where that came from from Sanchez. 47.76.

:18:56.:19:01.

Dai Greene holds his head in his hands. He wonders if his Olympic

:19:01.:19:09.

dream is over. He could not have expected that. We said it was a

:19:09.:19:14.

tough, tough semi-final, but goodness me, where did Sanchez get

:19:14.:19:19.

that from? That is almost one second quicker than he has run all

:19:19.:19:29.

year. You can see Dai Greene thinking, could miss May... --

:19:29.:19:35.

goodness me. All have the better athletes were inside of him, so Dai

:19:35.:19:40.

was going to be the rabbit and unfortunately for him, they picked

:19:40.:19:45.

on him quickly, stepped on him, and drove all the way around. I know

:19:45.:19:49.

his coach will be watching this from the stand carefully and

:19:50.:19:53.

scrutinising what possibly could have gone wrong. His stride pattern

:19:53.:19:59.

was going to be 14 strides through the first six medals, and then at

:19:59.:20:06.

15! All the way home, and at this point he is cruising -- and then

:20:06.:20:09.

15! All the way home. Perhaps he did not realise how fast the others

:20:09.:20:17.

were coming up on him. He should have stayed on his left leg, no

:20:17.:20:23.

changes. 15 strides. But look at Kerron Clement inside him. We know

:20:23.:20:31.

he is fast on the flat. Dai will be frustrated and a little bit angry

:20:31.:20:37.

that he couldn't quite get up with the rest of these. Felix Sanchez

:20:37.:20:41.

has certainly returned to form though it. He has done more than

:20:41.:20:47.

return to form. He is a brilliant athlete. Sanchez dominated this

:20:47.:20:51.

event for so long but most people thought his best days were behind

:20:51.:20:58.

him, but he has run the quickest time in the world this year. 47.76.

:20:58.:21:03.

A new national record for the 20- year-old from Trinidad, Gordon.

:21:03.:21:10.

Clemente with this season's best. There are two fastest losers spots

:21:10.:21:15.

available. Dai is now still in the final but there are two more semi-

:21:15.:21:24.

It is a waiting game. What is going through your mind? I don't know. I

:21:24.:21:29.

can't believe it is. I could not catch them up on the home straight.

:21:29.:21:35.

I don't know. I should be better than that. I can't believe it. I am

:21:35.:21:42.

just devastated. I could see you been on the outside and not knowing

:21:42.:21:47.

what they are doing. Was that a factor? Perhaps. I thought I went

:21:47.:21:53.

off at a decent pace. I just... I just couldn't believe I wasn't

:21:53.:21:57.

closing them down. I just didn't feel right myself on the home

:21:57.:22:03.

straight. I am shocked. He can't put your finger on it as to why you

:22:03.:22:07.

did not finish. By bins, I will have to go back and

:22:07.:22:16.

have a look at it -- no. I am just devastated. Thank you for talking

:22:16.:22:19.

to us. It has been a day for watching

:22:19.:22:25.

sport, when you see every emotion from elation to shock. The 35-year-

:22:25.:22:30.

old producing form that we have not seen for a long time. There was no

:22:30.:22:35.

flow for Dai. He did not look so Rees moves on the back stretch. He

:22:36.:22:41.

never looked like himself in that race -- he did not look this move.

:22:41.:22:45.

He is not sure what went wrong. This was always going to be a very

:22:46.:22:51.

tough race, one of the toughest in the Olympics. Dai would have needed

:22:51.:22:55.

to treat us like a final. You would have thought he would have known

:22:55.:23:05.
:23:05.:23:11.

that. Something has gone wrong. I I was expecting that when inclement

:23:11.:23:15.

was leading the race at 200 metres, he would make an adjustment, but he

:23:15.:23:20.

never did that. He was trying to keep his stride pattern, but

:23:20.:23:24.

normally when he comes off this curb, if you find themselves behind,

:23:24.:23:29.

Dai is a very strong and can find some strength and some speed. But

:23:29.:23:35.

for some reason it wasn't there. But remember that from Duiker, at

:23:35.:23:44.

we thought people would be saying, what is going on? It didn't

:23:44.:23:50.

materialise. He was expecting as well, he was expecting that to come

:23:51.:23:56.

through. It didn't happen for him. We will have to find out why a

:23:56.:24:02.

later. At this point, he doesn't look good. He is not out yet, it is

:24:02.:24:07.

the first two plus the two fastest losers, that was quick, but he will

:24:07.:24:11.

have to hope that the next two are not quick. If he does get in, he

:24:12.:24:15.

will not have a great Lane. But that is not the concern at this

:24:15.:24:25.
:24:25.:24:42.

this second semi-final. Here is the moments ago, the fastest man in the

:24:42.:24:52.
:24:52.:24:58.

the Olympic Games come when you get to the semi-finals, they are all

:24:59.:25:04.

tough. Jack Green, the 7th fastest British man in history, set a new

:25:04.:25:12.

lifetime best figure this year, aged just 20. Javier Culson, twice

:25:12.:25:18.

a world silver medallist, a superbly talented athlete. He lost

:25:18.:25:21.

his a fastest time in the world to Felix Sanchez, who made it look

:25:21.:25:29.

easy. No make-up, twice a European Championship bronze medallist. A

:25:29.:25:36.

very talented Cuban, Cisneros, the Cuban record holder, 48.21, he said

:25:36.:25:41.

that two years ago. He has come within half a second of that this

:25:41.:25:48.

year. Just a reminder, Dai Greene's time, 48.19. He is the second

:25:48.:25:56.

fastest loser at the moment. There are still two more semi-finals, and

:25:56.:26:06.
:26:06.:26:14.

just a two fastest will make it Australian, is a good athlete as

:26:14.:26:20.

well. But Javier Culson, he has been running so well this year. He

:26:20.:26:25.

carried the pottery can flag at the opening ceremony. -- the Puerto

:26:25.:26:35.
:26:35.:26:55.

Rico in a flag. He is unbeaten in in lane seven, twice the Olympic

:26:55.:27:05.
:27:05.:27:06.

champion, and he has gone tearing down the back straight. Jack Green

:27:06.:27:14.

is out! Javier Culson, perhaps leaving at 200 metres, Angelo

:27:14.:27:21.

Taylor, a superb first 300 metres, but what has he got? He is a couple

:27:21.:27:26.

of strides ahead of the Javier Culson. The American, beginning to

:27:26.:27:31.

tie up a bit, this is where Javier Culson can come on strong. Cisneros,

:27:31.:27:41.
:27:41.:27:53.

the Cuban, is also coming through and Jack Green's and a big games

:27:53.:27:59.

are over, before they got started - - Olympic Games. I was watching him

:27:59.:28:03.

down the back straight, he seemed to be reaching for the 13 stride

:28:03.:28:07.

pattern, they think he was too far away, and when he reached, he just

:28:08.:28:16.

clattered it. He was caught in between. Instead of going for it

:28:16.:28:23.

can be started into the barrier and banged into it. He had just come up

:28:23.:28:31.

-- it has just come up on the computer, Cisneros of Cuba, 48.23,

:28:31.:28:35.

so Dai Greene is still hanging in there as the second fastest loser.

:28:35.:28:40.

Which is good news indeed. But look at Angelo Taylor, the reminding --

:28:41.:28:45.

defending champion, we have always got to watch him, because he has

:28:45.:28:50.

basic flat speed. He can run about 44 seconds flat at this distance

:28:50.:28:55.

without the barriers. If he can just brush up on that technique, he

:28:55.:29:00.

is unstoppable. This is going to be one of the most competitive races

:29:00.:29:06.

of we will see on this track, no two ways about it. Jack Green, very

:29:06.:29:16.
:29:16.:29:28.

angry indeed with himself. He paid Culson ran a 47.93 to win it.

:29:28.:29:34.

Cisneros is out of it. Dai Greene is still in with a chance of

:29:34.:29:41.

qualifying for the final. His appointment this time for jack

:29:41.:29:51.
:29:51.:29:54.

What happened? I just got too close to the hotel, I hit it, and it is

:29:54.:29:59.

one of those things -- to the hurdle. We saw you stutter a little

:29:59.:30:04.

bit more was there a temptation to go for it? I think that was the

:30:04.:30:10.

problem, I did go for it, but there was a bit of a headwind. I think I

:30:10.:30:15.

tried to go a bit too hard, that is what you get. Stupid, a complete

:30:15.:30:19.

waste of time. We saw the grimace, did you think you had done

:30:19.:30:24.

something serious, injury wise? have always had a problem with my

:30:24.:30:28.

hip, it is the first thing will, but I'm far too angry for anything

:30:28.:30:32.

to her it right now a partner fact that I have not even finished a

:30:32.:30:36.

semi-final at the Olympics. Were you aware of what happened to Dai

:30:36.:30:40.

in the previous race? Yes, I'm sure he will go through with that time,

:30:41.:30:44.

it looks like he will, but that is not redeem our concern at the

:30:44.:30:51.

moment. We appreciate your honesty. What a dramatic start, although it

:30:51.:30:56.

not the drama we might have wanted. Dai Greene might be all right. The

:30:56.:30:59.

line-up in the third semi-final doesn't seem to be quick enough to

:30:59.:31:03.

actually displace him from one of the fastest loser places, but that

:31:03.:31:09.

is pre-empting what could happen. What happened to Jack Green could

:31:09.:31:13.

happen anytime, anyplace, couldn't it? That is the thing with Hoddle's,

:31:13.:31:17.

it is a very difficult event. Trying to get the steps right, this

:31:17.:31:24.

is the Olympics, and drank... That is a mistake right there,

:31:24.:31:28.

unfortunately it happens in the Olympic Games. He was on a decent

:31:28.:31:33.

pace at that point, it looks like he had a bit of a miss that before

:31:33.:31:38.

he went over that hurdle, so we can get his lead leg high enough to

:31:38.:31:45.

clear the barrier. A inexperience? On an occasion like this? May be so.

:31:45.:31:50.

It was a big deal, he would have thought he had an opportunity, he

:31:50.:31:56.

was in there with some fast guys, but you never know. The key thing

:31:56.:31:59.

now is what is going to happen in this third semi-final, without

:31:59.:32:05.

wishing ill on anybody, we don't want the third guide to run quicker

:32:06.:32:15.
:32:16.:32:21.

than 48.19. We want Rees Williams his in lane three. -- that was the

:32:21.:32:31.
:32:31.:32:32.

geer for Williams, who is in lane favourite, Michael Tinsley, for one

:32:32.:32:40.

the American trial. Brendan Cole has looked good here. A new

:32:40.:32:49.

personal best to make it through in fine start to the semi-final. -- in

:32:49.:32:59.

fine style. They are all a danger, we are watching for the first two,

:32:59.:33:09.
:33:09.:33:15.

and will the third person be slower champion, from Nigeria. He is a big

:33:15.:33:25.
:33:25.:34:04.

talent, but he has a horrid race early, from lane free. Michael

:34:04.:34:13.

Tinsley has started well. Williams has got to get a bit of a movement,

:34:13.:34:20.

it is a Michael Tinsley who is leading this. And green is having a

:34:20.:34:30.
:34:30.:34:32.

straight, he always is. We have lost more to come I think his

:34:32.:34:42.
:34:42.:34:47.

technique to come out side of the and look at that time, that means

:34:47.:34:55.

that Dai Greene will contest the final! It is going to be difficult

:34:55.:35:04.

for him. The three winners will get the best lanes in the final. After

:35:04.:35:09.

that, the two fastest losers, which will be Dai Greene and I am trying

:35:09.:35:16.

to think what else it was... Kerron Clement, he was the former world

:35:16.:35:21.

champion, those two will have the outside lanes. A quick word on

:35:21.:35:26.

Williams. He looked very strong, he ran a controlled race, because we

:35:26.:35:30.

know he is not the quickest over that first 200 metres. He makes a

:35:30.:35:35.

mistake coming into this barrier, ends up clattering it. He staggers

:35:35.:35:39.

off it, and that takes all your speed away. Still working hard to

:35:39.:35:42.

get into this race, but unfortunately, he will be

:35:42.:35:51.

disappointed with his result. talking about the lane draw, if

:35:51.:35:56.

Yori fastest loser, would it be two or nine? Yes, but you know what, it

:35:56.:36:01.

is better to have Alleyne in the final rather than sitting in the

:36:01.:36:05.

stand. If I was him, I would go for lane two. He hasn't got any choice,

:36:06.:36:10.

he will have to take what you get, I guess. But he will be a relieved

:36:10.:36:17.

man. If you look at this summary, he is the 6th fastest going into

:36:17.:36:24.

the final. I think the fact that Sanchez and Taylor and Gordon

:36:24.:36:27.

suddenly produced that super-fast time, that is what has taken

:36:27.:36:37.
:36:37.:36:50.

What a dramatic start to the evening, good and bad. A bit of a

:36:50.:36:58.

sigh of relief as well. Tinsley, US champion. He had to work a little

:36:58.:37:08.
:37:08.:37:09.

bit. The Green off Jamaica certainly frightened him. Winning

:37:09.:37:12.

their semi-final gives him the luxury of having one of the middle

:37:13.:37:19.

three lanes. Rhys Williams is taking a few moments to reflect

:37:19.:37:23.

before he comes up to do an interview, I think. While he does

:37:23.:37:29.

that, let's look back a few moments ago. We had the medal ceremony of

:37:29.:37:36.

the women's 10,000m. Tirunesh Dibaba became the first woman to

:37:36.:37:39.

successfully defend that title, winning her second gold medal at

:37:39.:37:46.

this event. She may now go to try to win the 5,000m as well.

:37:46.:37:50.

Unbelievably, she was only a reserve for that event coming into

:37:50.:37:58.

this Olympics. Tirunesh Dibaba, the champion.

:37:58.:38:08.
:38:08.:38:16.

When you saw the time come up on the board, you should your head.

:38:16.:38:23.

What is going on? Are gave it my all. It wasn't good enough today. -

:38:23.:38:29.

- I gave it my all. It pains me to say that. I have had a great time

:38:29.:38:35.

but my journey has come to an end. I gave it my all. Yesterday it you

:38:35.:38:39.

were apologising, you thought you had not got the job done and you

:38:39.:38:44.

had, you made it on to another round. Did you see tonight as a

:38:44.:38:50.

chance of redemption? Of course. It was set up saw me. I had the

:38:50.:38:55.

easiest of the semi-finals. I saw where I went wrong earlier. I

:38:55.:39:01.

thought I executed it better today but I messed up on the last hurdle.

:39:01.:39:07.

For and you knew that Dai was in trouble. Yes, and I felt the weight

:39:07.:39:17.
:39:17.:39:25.

of the world on my shoulders. Greene is one of the two fastest

:39:25.:39:31.

losers, him and Kerron Clement. They will draw for whether to get

:39:31.:39:41.
:39:41.:39:46.

Dai Greene sneaks in by the skin of his teeth and stranger things have

:39:46.:39:51.

happened, then somebody getting through almost as a lucky loser and

:39:51.:39:58.

winning an Olympic title, so it is not all over. I did it in the 1999

:39:58.:40:01.

World Championships. Quarter-finals, trying to conserve as much as

:40:02.:40:08.

possible, having to qualify as the last person, but I won the world

:40:08.:40:13.

championships, so it can be done. Dai will analyse the race, try to

:40:13.:40:18.

figure out what went wrong, and tried to put it behind him. He will

:40:18.:40:22.

feel fortunate that he is in the final. He now has to put that

:40:22.:40:26.

behind him. He needs to make sure he does not make the same mistake

:40:26.:40:36.

tomorrow, which he will not do. he will have one or 8. 1, two,

:40:36.:40:40.

seven or eight. I would rather be on the inside, where you can see

:40:40.:40:44.

the rest of the competitors and have a little bit more control. You

:40:44.:40:48.

do not have to run as a freight and be trying to seal where they are

:40:48.:40:55.

the whole time -- as afraid. wide open is the gold medal? This

:40:55.:41:00.

is a very tough event. Javier Culson has been so very consistent

:41:00.:41:06.

over the last year, he has not lost a race this year, he has beaten all

:41:06.:41:13.

of those guys. The problem is that Sanchez has a live experience, an

:41:13.:41:19.

Olympic gold medallist who qualified with the fastest time,

:41:19.:41:27.

Angelo Taylor, Olympic champion, 200m speed and 400m speed. There is

:41:27.:41:35.

a lot of talent. Gordon from Trinidad, he ran 47 seconds for 400

:41:35.:41:41.

hurdles when he was 18. This race is probably more packed than any of

:41:41.:41:46.

the other races in the athletics, so it is open, it is tough.

:41:46.:41:52.

odds are against Dai but if he wins, he will be the first Welsh track

:41:52.:41:57.

and field gold medallist since when Davies in 1974. If you are a fan of

:41:57.:42:01.

the field events and you do not think you are getting enough of it

:42:01.:42:06.

on the BBC, every single field final has its own dedicated channel,

:42:06.:42:11.

so if you want to watch the shock it, discos, ham and long jump, it

:42:11.:42:16.

is all there for you -- a shot put and the discus and the Hammar and

:42:16.:42:26.
:42:26.:42:32.

the long jump. Now we have Chris When when people look at you as a

:42:32.:42:37.

strong medal contender, it is something the you do not shy away

:42:37.:42:44.

from, you embrace it? Completely. Why do this to be the best ever. I

:42:44.:42:50.

never say anything other than I aim to jump further than most people in

:42:50.:43:00.

history. This gives you an opportunity, to go into the

:43:00.:43:07.

Olympics feeling fresh, it is a fantastic chance. We are used to

:43:07.:43:14.

seeing black and white men's long jump highlights a day for Britain

:43:14.:43:19.

and it is about time we changed the colour scheme of! I can only speak

:43:19.:43:25.

for myself but I feel like we can now become an Olympic champions.

:43:25.:43:30.

That is ultimately what I want, to be an Olympic champion. And to

:43:30.:43:33.

share that kind of thing with family and friends and those who

:43:33.:43:38.

have helped you through must be extra special. I have been so lucky

:43:38.:43:43.

that from a very early age, I have had two very supportive parents,

:43:43.:43:50.

and every sport I ever tried, they got behind me fully. Always. There

:43:50.:43:54.

was never a guaranteed outcome that I would do something like this so I

:43:54.:43:58.

have been incredibly lucky, and I have got one of the best coaches in

:43:58.:44:08.
:44:08.:44:09.

He has got the speed but can he converted to distance? Yes! It is

:44:09.:44:13.

support, it is something people take for granted. It is something

:44:13.:44:19.

incredibly important to get to the stages. I am ranked No. 1 and that

:44:19.:44:23.

is because I have been fortunate enough to have the people behind me

:44:23.:44:28.

who have helped me every step of the way. Afterwards, hopefully I

:44:28.:44:33.

will look back with a big smile and a shiny gold medal. My aim is to

:44:33.:44:38.

win gold medal in the Olympics and celebrate with the other guys.

:44:38.:44:43.

long jump is under way shortly. There is a 15 minute window tonight

:44:43.:44:48.

in which we are hoping it will be a great moment of joy for British

:44:48.:44:56.

athletics. Jess Ennis's last discipline is just before 9pm. At

:44:56.:45:02.

9:15pm cities the men's 10,000m featuring the Mo Farah -- it is the

:45:02.:45:12.
:45:12.:45:16.

Mo Farah is one of 2012's poster boys, and with good reason. His

:45:16.:45:21.

last two years have been sensational. He is the European and

:45:21.:45:25.

world champion at 5,000m and he has the European gold and the world

:45:25.:45:31.

silver at 10,000m. Beijing, he failed to qualify for the 5,000m

:45:31.:45:36.

final. For Great Britain, the hope of a male global distance champion

:45:36.:45:40.

appeared to be as remote as it had ever been, but his experience in

:45:40.:45:45.

Beijing only served to inspire him, and the results were quickly in

:45:45.:45:49.

evidence. European titles and a British record indoors build

:45:49.:45:55.

confidence, and in 2010, women started to become a habit. His

:45:55.:45:58.

stunning European double gold in Barcelona meant the world was

:45:58.:46:03.

taking notice, but how was he to take the final step to a global

:46:03.:46:09.

gold? His answer was to turn to Alberto Salazar. And no compromise

:46:09.:46:15.

decision. Moving his family to Oregon to immerse himself in

:46:15.:46:19.

Alberta sellers are's meticulous regime. It gave Mo a focus he had

:46:19.:46:26.

never had before -- Alberto the sellers are. His coach made him at

:46:26.:46:31.

stronger physically and mentally. He was good before, but now he was

:46:31.:46:38.

better. He continued to improve his times, both at 5,000m and 10,000m,

:46:38.:46:42.

but more importantly, he has learned how to translate those

:46:42.:46:47.

times into a winning performance. Last year Mo showed he can beat the

:46:47.:46:51.

best, but will his intense regime, with all of the sacrifice it

:46:51.:46:56.

entails, deliver a win on the biggest stage of all?

:46:56.:47:03.

Let's hope so. We will see Mo at 9:15pm. We will be back in the

:47:03.:47:08.

athletics stadium very shortly for the women's 100m semi-finals. It is

:47:08.:47:12.

the last night of swimming in a swimming pool. It has been a

:47:12.:47:22.

spectacular week, particularly for People will be shocked. It has been

:47:22.:47:26.

a mixed bag for Michael Phelps but he is the most successful swim at

:47:26.:47:31.

this particular Olympic Games, excluding all of the results he has

:47:31.:47:35.

achieved before. He has been the most successful man in a swimming

:47:35.:47:38.

pool and he will continue that this evening, in the relay, the last

:47:38.:47:44.

event. Just before 8:30pm. We will probably see him win another gold

:47:44.:47:51.

medal. Prior to that, the women's 50m freestyle, with Fran Halsall, a

:47:51.:47:57.

British hopes. One length, no tactics, off you go, full speed.

:47:57.:48:05.

Pretty much know tactics. Anyone is in for a shot. If Fran Halsall gets

:48:05.:48:09.

the start right, just like every other swimmer in the race, she is

:48:09.:48:14.

in with a chance. She may be able to pick up a medal that she did not

:48:14.:48:23.

expect. As you can see, they are getting ready. 50m freestyle. Let's

:48:23.:48:29.

join our commentators, Adrian Moorhouse and Andy Jameson. There

:48:29.:48:39.
:48:39.:48:43.

is the fastest woman in water at the moment, the Dutch. Here is a

:48:43.:48:49.

danger, very quick on the 100m, she one the gold medal on the 100m

:48:49.:48:59.
:48:59.:49:10.

Britta Steffen of Germany. Still no underwhelmed by the whole

:49:10.:49:20.
:49:20.:49:36.

experience. I am not sure they are Foster knows this woman very well,

:49:36.:49:43.

they had been doing it together for years and years. Silver medal in

:49:43.:49:49.

Sydney in the year 2000. Fran Halsall in lane two. She is in the

:49:49.:49:58.

red hat for Great Britain. She has a chance. Jess Hardeep it from the

:49:58.:50:08.
:50:08.:50:25.

Kronomidjojo, watch out for her to this, the fastest women on the

:50:25.:50:35.
:50:35.:51:06.

planet in water. The favourite, win it. Kronomidjojo, she just got

:51:06.:51:16.
:51:16.:51:18.

it. Fran Halsall finishing in 5th place. 24.47. It was very close. 91

:51:18.:51:23.

hundreds of the second. Fran Halsall just missed a medal by that.

:51:23.:51:26.

Such strength and depth of the Dutch women have one the sprint

:51:26.:51:36.
:51:36.:51:54.

freestyle. -- have all the sprint nose! Unusual to have the whole

:51:54.:52:00.

hand above the water. She should be winning with her fingers. That was

:52:00.:52:10.
:52:10.:52:33.

margins, dreams are one and lost. - - dreams are won and lost. What on

:52:33.:52:43.
:52:43.:52:44.

amazing, amazing start. The 1500 A terrific performance, the

:52:44.:52:50.

favourite came in. Yes, when you see a 50 metres freestyle, when you

:52:50.:52:59.

can actually see who won, a means they are dominant. It means she

:52:59.:53:04.

could and I laid the field, the Belorussian in second, and then her

:53:04.:53:08.

fellow Dutchman in third. Fort Fran Halsall, eight hundredths of

:53:08.:53:15.

seconds cost her a medal, and that is how it is. You cannot see that

:53:15.:53:23.

with your eye. Eight hundredths of a second, we have to see the photo,

:53:23.:53:27.

or the replay, in slow motion to stop a fantastic effort from Fran

:53:27.:53:32.

Halsall. I think she will be quite happy with it, but it was a good

:53:32.:53:39.

swing. How should the British Steel about the swimming, no gold medals,

:53:39.:53:45.

one or two medals, but what do we need to make it better, to get a

:53:45.:53:52.

gold? Look... I will put it this way. Australia has one -- won one

:53:52.:53:58.

gold medal. We are supposed to be one of the dominant nations, and I

:53:58.:54:02.

am still proud of that team. The individuals have done a really good

:54:02.:54:07.

job. The Americans have been dominant here, in a way that I had

:54:07.:54:12.

not seen them be dominant for a very long time. If we compare that

:54:12.:54:16.

to the British team, Australian team, more cabbages here than we

:54:16.:54:22.

have seen before, better races. I think it is a could stage, the

:54:22.:54:26.

British team has made the right steps to have better results in the

:54:26.:54:31.

future. So we shouldn't be too hard at ourselves! Leads get back inside

:54:31.:54:41.
:54:41.:54:42.

the stadium! -- let's get back They shot at the first of the 100

:54:42.:54:48.

metres semi-finals. Oyepitan running for Great Britain in the

:54:48.:54:58.
:54:58.:55:04.

the first semi-final, the first to two and the two fastest make it

:55:04.:55:14.
:55:14.:55:41.

Veronica Campbell-Brown going very well in the middle. Carmelita Jeter

:55:41.:55:47.

wins, 10.82. Even quicker than she ran in qualification. Campbell-

:55:47.:55:52.

Brown was fast, as well. It is quicker, it is a very, very quick.

:55:52.:55:58.

This is going to be a cracking final. The two big names are safely

:55:58.:56:02.

through. Carmelita Jeter, aggressive out of the blocks, as we

:56:02.:56:06.

expect from her. I am not so sure if a Veronica Campbell-Brown was a

:56:06.:56:11.

sharp as she could be out of the blocks. But the technique of the

:56:11.:56:14.

Carmelita Jeter will always see her through this middle part of the

:56:14.:56:19.

race. She looks confident, she looks strong. Well trained athlete,

:56:19.:56:29.
:56:29.:56:37.

at. The two top in that race qualified nicely. Out of the blocks,

:56:38.:56:42.

he is Carmelita Jeter. Any young athlete, any aspiring sprinter, if

:56:42.:56:46.

you want to know how to run 100 metres, she is not a bad example to

:56:47.:56:52.

follow. Aggressive, explosive, a high need a lift. Strong and

:56:52.:57:01.

powerful touch. Let's have a look at Abi Oyepitan. 11.36 was her time.

:57:01.:57:06.

We always knew she would be struggling here, because she hasn't

:57:06.:57:10.

been competing as consistently as she would like, but she has done

:57:10.:57:17.

well, she made the semi-final, 11.36. Good performance. Returning

:57:17.:57:27.
:57:27.:57:34.

to form, we are all very pleased to disappointed with her time, she is

:57:34.:57:39.

in the bottom of the list, but at the top, Carmelita Jeter, very

:57:39.:57:49.
:57:49.:57:53.

quick. Joined in the final by a fantastic impact. How would you

:57:53.:57:56.

assess the overall Olympic experience it for you? It has been

:57:56.:58:03.

a bit mixed. I am not happy with my race, particularly the time. I got

:58:03.:58:09.

out OK, I think I drove pretty well, but I think the latter part of my

:58:09.:58:14.

race wasn't so great. I am just a bit disappointed with the time.

:58:14.:58:19.

know you said in Portugal that you like to use the 100 as a sharpen up

:58:19.:58:24.

for the 200, your favourite event, that is still to come. I wanted to

:58:24.:58:34.

be in the final! Yes, I'm disappointed, I can't live. -- I

:58:34.:58:44.
:58:44.:58:47.

can't lie. But it wasn't meant to blog to the second semi-final of

:58:47.:58:57.
:58:57.:59:18.

the women's 100 metres. There is middle lanes. Shelly-Ann Fraser

:59:18.:59:25.

Price, always smiling. But when the starter calls them to their blocks,

:59:25.:59:32.

she is down to business very quickly. The European champion.

:59:32.:59:41.

11.06, her best time so far in 2012. Radova, the record holder for

:59:41.:59:51.
:59:51.:59:52.

Kazakhstan. And the African champion, Asumnu of Nigeria. She

:59:52.:59:57.

got a season's best in her heat. We missed Allyson Felix, the great

:59:57.:00:04.

American athlete. Doubling up at 102 hundred metres, everybody

:00:04.:00:09.

thinks of 200 is her best event. She is up against the defending

:00:10.:00:19.
:00:20.:00:40.

champion. Shelly-Ann Fraser price conversion making is coming away,

:00:40.:00:44.

Allyson Felix is in second at. Baptiste will be disappointed with

:00:44.:00:54.
:00:54.:00:54.

third place, having run so well in the heat earlier. 10.86, at just a

:00:54.:00:59.

tad slower than Carmelita Jeter in the first semi-final. It really is

:00:59.:01:06.

a game on offer this women's at 100 metres title later on this evening.

:01:06.:01:15.

It is an exciting race all round. A little bit quicker, an explosive

:01:15.:01:19.

start to, this is where she will always have that bit of an

:01:19.:01:23.

advantage over her main opponents. She can get out in front of the

:01:23.:01:30.

more common lead them from the done, and keep working a way through. She

:01:30.:01:37.

uses down over the last 10 metres. -- eases down. Fraser-Pryce looking

:01:37.:01:42.

like she could hang on to her title. I was speaking to Donovan Bailey

:01:42.:01:47.

about her, and he says she has been working a lot on her speed

:01:47.:01:54.

endurance. She has been running a lot of 150 metres, and it may pay

:01:54.:02:04.
:02:04.:02:23.

A slight following wind. Allyson Felix, running one of her best

:02:24.:02:33.
:02:34.:02:41.

there will be a big 50 minutes at around 9pm, the crowds are

:02:41.:02:49.

gathering, the busiest day, with thousands of people in the park. It

:02:49.:02:55.

has been a fantastic atmosphere, we hope it is building to a crescendo

:02:55.:02:59.

tonight with Jessica Ennis's last discipline in the heptathlon, and

:02:59.:03:06.

after that, Mo Farah in the 10,000 metres. We have got the long jump

:03:06.:03:10.

and a genuine medal contenders with a Greg Rutherford and also Chris

:03:10.:03:20.
:03:20.:03:20.

I've had a tremendous career and the sport, but now it is averaging

:03:20.:03:30.
:03:30.:03:32.

My career is been highs and lows, I have gone from breaking British

:03:32.:03:36.

records to having operations and thinking I was out of the Games,

:03:36.:03:43.

then coming into great form and Crystal Palace only a few weeks ago.

:03:43.:03:46.

Was there a point when you didn't think you would make the team? Or

:03:46.:03:50.

did you always think you're past history would stand you in good

:03:50.:03:56.

stead? The biggest point was probably at the end of April, I

:03:56.:04:02.

haven't been able to long jump for about nine months, and it was kind

:04:02.:04:09.

of like... It is cutting it fine, now. Fortunately, someone up there

:04:09.:04:17.

managed to say, he is good to go now! You have got to try and take

:04:17.:04:24.

your opportunities in life. I think for me, this is an opportunity. The

:04:25.:04:32.

long jump hasn't kicked off this year, it 0.35 is the best, it is

:04:32.:04:38.

there for the taking. How is it being a dad now I'm Dick having a

:04:38.:04:43.

little one? Does it give you a different perspective? Yes, I want

:04:44.:04:49.

to jump well, and in years to come, when he pulls out the Olympic vest,

:04:49.:04:53.

and he says, were you in the game's? I can say what I achieved,

:04:53.:05:03.
:05:03.:05:04.

Worth emphasising again, that if you want to just watch the long

:05:04.:05:09.

jumper tonight, that has its own designated challenge -- channel. If

:05:09.:05:13.

you want to watch the quarter-final between Great Britain and South

:05:13.:05:20.

Korea in the football, then you can watch that on BBC Three. I think it

:05:20.:05:30.
:05:30.:05:31.

We have seen two of the semi-finals of the women's 100 metres.

:05:31.:05:36.

Carmelita Jeter is just a joy to watch, she just blows across the

:05:36.:05:41.

track. Complete Poetry in motion. She seems to have got better and

:05:41.:05:45.

better the last couple of seasons. We know that she is a powerhouse

:05:45.:05:51.

out of the blocks, into her transition phase, but what she has

:05:51.:05:55.

done recently his work on her speed endurance, the latter half of her

:05:55.:05:59.

race. She is holding her techniques so much better and that is making

:05:59.:06:04.

her this formidable force in the women's 100. We will have a chat

:06:04.:06:11.

after watching the third semi-final. No, we are not going to go there

:06:11.:06:21.
:06:21.:06:21.

yet! Say what you wanted to say! Carmelita Jeter is a fantastic

:06:21.:06:28.

athlete, icy pure speed, ballistic power. It is just power, she is

:06:28.:06:34.

phenomenal heart of the blocked. That is what I see. I expect she is

:06:34.:06:38.

going to continue it in the final, she will be a force to be reckoned

:06:38.:06:46.

with, along with Shelly-Ann Fraser. I'm really impressed with what she

:06:46.:06:52.

has been able to do with her speed and power, Carmelita Jeter.

:06:52.:07:02.
:07:02.:07:16.

athletes are down at the start, she ran 11 seconds for the first

:07:16.:07:26.
:07:26.:07:35.

11 seconds this year. Including Blessing Okagbare, who has beaten

:07:35.:07:41.

Carmelita Jeter, and has beaten everybody in recent weeks. She ran

:07:41.:07:45.

a quick time in qualification to back that up, 10.93, a new personal

:07:45.:07:51.

best for her. It was a new personal best for Murielle Ahoure. Tianna

:07:51.:07:55.

Madison looked good as well in qualification. And let's not forget

:07:55.:08:05.
:08:05.:08:37.

the Olympic silver medallist, close race. Once again, the

:08:37.:08:47.
:08:47.:08:49.

Nigerian based in the States come through, Okagbare. She is strong in

:08:49.:08:55.

the latter part of the race. Kerron Stewart looking to see if she is

:08:55.:09:05.
:09:05.:09:05.

quick enough. Let sort it out with Colin. Thanks! Maddison, a great

:09:05.:09:11.

long jumper, she has been world champion at that event. Look how

:09:11.:09:21.
:09:21.:09:21.

far Okagbare comes from. She breezes past Kerron Stewart. The

:09:21.:09:30.

drives hard into the line. -- She drives hard. I think she took that

:09:30.:09:38.

race. I think Kerron Stewart, the silver medallist, is not going to

:09:38.:09:41.

contest the final because Kelly Ann Baptiste was quicker in the first

:09:42.:09:47.

semi-final. This could be the best women's 100m final we have seen for

:09:47.:09:54.

a very, very long time indeed. We talk about the men's final being

:09:54.:09:58.

special. The ladies participating in this final later today, it will

:09:58.:10:08.
:10:08.:10:09.

be exceptional. Six women ran under 11 seconds. That is the result of

:10:09.:10:19.
:10:19.:10:25.

this semi-final. The fastest loser, Ahoure will join Kelly Ann Baptiste

:10:25.:10:29.

in the final. Let's look at the eight women who will be back later

:10:29.:10:39.
:10:39.:10:43.

this evening, 9-50 5:00pm, after Mo Farah's 10,000m -- 9:55pm. Maddison

:10:43.:10:48.

will join them. Three Americans, or what with Allyson Felix, who almost

:10:48.:10:58.
:10:58.:11:02.

did not even make it into the discus, the double European

:11:02.:11:12.
:11:12.:11:22.

champion Croatian here, who the lead of the Chinese athlete.

:11:22.:11:31.

This discus competition is coming alive in round two. Muller was

:11:31.:11:41.
:11:41.:11:45.

looking good from Germany in round still conditions. Discus thrower

:11:45.:11:52.

was normally like a slight headwind going from there right, but 68.11.

:11:52.:11:58.

That is a big throw and she has got the lead. Introductions to the

:11:58.:12:05.

grave for the men's long jump. Heavily anticipated. Sebastian bar

:12:05.:12:10.

will be a contender. One centimetre behind the World League of Greg

:12:10.:12:20.

Rutherford. Da Silva is the surprise world indoor champion. If

:12:20.:12:28.

the Australian, Mitchell, gets it right, he really is a danger man.

:12:28.:12:35.

We have never had a bigger cheer for Greg Rutherford, in his life,

:12:35.:12:45.

and he will never get another one, unless he wins this! Another danger

:12:45.:12:50.

man, the Americans. The South African has been the world indoor

:12:50.:13:00.
:13:00.:13:05.

champion. Aleksandr Menkov, world indoor bronze medallist in Istanbul.

:13:05.:13:15.
:13:15.:13:17.

Good win, relatively unknown. A CHEERING. A huge cheer for Chris

:13:17.:13:22.

Tomlinson, just an amazing atmosphere. That has got to be

:13:22.:13:30.

worth a good few centimetres! A tremendous atmosphere for this long

:13:30.:13:36.

jump competition. The British competitors will probably never get

:13:36.:13:40.

a loud cheer anywhere, at any time in their lives, except of course if

:13:40.:13:50.
:13:50.:13:57.

London. That is the image that so many people dreamt up seven years

:13:57.:14:03.

ago and there it is, come to fruition. A packed house. 250,000

:14:03.:14:07.

people swarming around the Olympic Park. Events are still taking place

:14:07.:14:11.

with a hockey and in a swimming pool, which you can watch on

:14:11.:14:16.

Freeview. It is testament to everybody who has put all that hard

:14:16.:14:25.

work in to have this, do Dai Greene, desperate to realise

:14:25.:14:32.

his dream. It almost went horribly wrong tonight. To the untrained eye,

:14:33.:14:36.

he did not seem to have the rhythm and the flow that we are used to

:14:36.:14:41.

seeing him having. It is quite significant the amount of training

:14:41.:14:47.

that Dai has not been able to do in the early part of the season. He

:14:47.:14:51.

had an operation at Christmas on his knee and that could have caused

:14:51.:14:56.

him some distress, where he was not getting fluency with his running. I

:14:56.:15:00.

think he is not as sharp as he has been, and that be significant,

:15:00.:15:05.

because it means you have to use far more energy than normal. Having

:15:06.:15:10.

got into the back door, do you see potential room for improvement for

:15:10.:15:15.

him to get on the podium? It will be difficult now, because the

:15:15.:15:21.

athletes have all gone and 48.7. That makes it difficult because Dai

:15:21.:15:29.

has to perform faster than he has so far. Felix Sanchez looks like

:15:29.:15:32.

the experienced head that we know him as. I know everybody keeps

:15:32.:15:38.

saying about where he has got his performance from, but he was

:15:38.:15:41.

injured in Rome when he was absolutely going to attack have

:15:41.:15:48.

vehicles and, the world number one. He pulled his hamstring -- have

:15:48.:15:58.
:15:58.:16:05.

vehicles and -- Javier Culson. Let's talk about Christine Ohuruogu.

:16:05.:16:11.

She comes here tonight almost as one of the favourites to win.

:16:11.:16:16.

Winning? She still has a long way to go. Sanya Richards Ross is still

:16:17.:16:23.

the woman in form, but Christine has a chance, and when you have a

:16:23.:16:29.

chance and you use that opportunity, anything is possible. What has

:16:29.:16:33.

happened with Christine is that her confidence has been built up, and

:16:33.:16:37.

when you run with confidence, you have a bit of speed back in your

:16:37.:16:44.

legs, anything is possible. I met a gambler today and he said that

:16:44.:16:50.

Christine Ohuruogu was his big outside bet to be a gold medallist.

:16:50.:16:56.

She is an outside bet, but she has a tough, tough, tough situation.

:16:56.:17:01.

Boy, it will be exciting, that is all I can says. Very exciting

:17:01.:17:11.
:17:11.:17:12.

indeed. Christine Ohuruogu... OK! That is the scene tonight. The

:17:12.:17:18.

Olympic Stadium. The noise tonight is absolutely deafening. Christine

:17:18.:17:22.

Ohuruogu, it has been a very interesting journey from Olympic

:17:22.:17:32.
:17:32.:17:43.

She took the Commonwealth title into first and and six, at the

:17:43.:17:51.

world title in 2010, can it be the world title in 2008? She is

:17:51.:18:01.
:18:01.:18:03.

starting to run them down. There is a medal up for grabs. Christina

:18:03.:18:13.
:18:13.:18:15.

Herod do takes the gold medal! -- Christine Ohuruogu. Oh, my word.

:18:15.:18:19.

How much do you reflect back on what you were able to achieve in

:18:19.:18:25.

the last Olympics? Four years ago, a long time from a lot has happened

:18:25.:18:31.

between then and now. We kind of start on a new State for setting

:18:31.:18:39.

goals and we work with what we have, it is no good going back for years.

:18:39.:18:49.

We cannot keep relying on what got me through it in the 2008. Having

:18:49.:18:54.

been through what you have, did you get a sense people were writing you

:18:54.:18:59.

off too early? People had mentioned this phrase writing me off a few

:18:59.:19:05.

times. I did care. I don't do what I do so people can't write nice

:19:05.:19:11.

things, I do it because it is my job. It is not an easy ride, a lot

:19:11.:19:17.

of people will be proud they have made it because they have all had a

:19:17.:19:22.

rough journey. Whether people write me off, it doesn't bother me, I

:19:22.:19:32.
:19:32.:19:39.

have an Olympic gold medal in the It is why I get out of bed every

:19:39.:19:46.

day, it is the way I feel challenged, I love it, you don't

:19:46.:19:50.

sit around and say you have had a bad year and sit around and cry. It

:19:50.:20:00.
:20:00.:20:01.

is hard, but I love what I do, have a really good group. She is

:20:01.:20:08.

beginning to lift her game go little, looking a little tired. She

:20:08.:20:15.

is charging. The world champion cannot hang on. She is going to

:20:15.:20:22.

take the win. It is coming at last, the defending Olympic champion

:20:22.:20:26.

might just have to these Olympic Games with thoughts of doing it all

:20:26.:20:34.

over again. It is something I will always remember and be proud,

:20:34.:20:38.

somewhere I have grown up has been able to host one of the world's

:20:38.:20:42.

most amazing sporting events. At the same time I am not thinking

:20:42.:20:47.

about that now. The sentimentality has gone out, the emotions, it is

:20:47.:20:56.

pure business, that is all I am dealing with. Now is the time for

:20:56.:21:06.
:21:06.:21:25.

how tough it is, Yulia Gushchina won the semi-final in Beijing for

:21:25.:21:35.
:21:35.:21:36.

years ago, Richards-Ross inside her in a lane number for, also won a

:21:36.:21:44.

semi-final in 2008, as indeed did Christine Ohuruogu. The crowd are

:21:44.:21:54.
:21:54.:22:01.

so hoping she can do something similar here. Martin in a lane nine.

:22:01.:22:06.

Just to give you an idea of the task in hand, Richards-Ross ranked

:22:06.:22:11.

number two in the world, world champion, somebody for whom the

:22:12.:22:17.

Olympics has got bitter memories. Christine Ohuruogu is not ranked in

:22:17.:22:21.

the top eight athletes at these and of the Games so she really needs to

:22:21.:22:31.

find the form just when it matters. She wants that last little bit of

:22:31.:22:39.

inspiration, she glances up to the crowd. Has to finish in the top two.

:22:39.:22:49.
:22:49.:22:53.

All be one of the two fastest start, Gushchina is also a good

:22:53.:22:59.

200m runner, they are bound to take some of yards out of Christina

:22:59.:23:07.

Herod do. She has got to stay calm. -- Christine Ohuruogu. The Jamaican

:23:07.:23:17.
:23:17.:23:19.

is pushing her through, here comes Richards-Ross. Richards-Ross, the

:23:19.:23:28.

American, is clear. Christina Harrigan has got to be strong

:23:28.:23:38.
:23:38.:23:44.

be a season's best, getting quicker all of the time, closer and closer

:23:44.:23:53.

to Richards-Ross he must know that Christina always saves her best for

:23:53.:24:00.

the major championships and this might just like some little embers

:24:00.:24:04.

of memories of what had done for years ago. That is the best we have

:24:04.:24:10.

seen of Christina for quite some time. She looked very good, ran a

:24:10.:24:14.

smart race, a conservative race. She always knows she's going to be

:24:14.:24:20.

tough down the home straight, she went very well here, she couldn't

:24:20.:24:25.

worry about Richards-Ross, she has run the fastest time in the world

:24:25.:24:35.
:24:35.:24:36.

earlier this year. A decent start from Christina. A decent start.

:24:36.:24:44.

Very relaxed. Nice stride here. She will know she has all of the

:24:44.:24:48.

competition on her inside. Richards-Ross on the inside. Gish

:24:48.:24:57.

keen on the inside. -- Gushchina. This is where she starts to go to

:24:57.:25:01.

work. She knows where she is positioned in the race, she wants

:25:02.:25:06.

to position herself in contention which she does brilliantly. Takes

:25:06.:25:13.

her breath, and this is where he a real advantage comes in. She has

:25:13.:25:17.

got great strength, good speed and endurance but the real advantage is

:25:17.:25:21.

the strength that allows her to separate from the other two

:25:21.:25:25.

competitors, get herself into that final. She will be very happy with

:25:25.:25:35.
:25:35.:25:35.

this race, she has been the favourite before but she ran a very

:25:35.:25:42.

good race today, got up to speed quickly and round the rest of the

:25:42.:25:49.

race. Gushchina up on the outside of her, not a great race from her.

:25:49.:25:52.

Richards-Ross would have expected a little bit more from her but happy

:25:52.:26:02.
:26:02.:26:09.

to get into the final without too much bother. Let's hear from the

:26:09.:26:16.

winner, Richards-Ross. A fantastic performance yet again into the

:26:16.:26:23.

final. How are you feeling? Really good. That run was great. Didn't

:26:23.:26:28.

think I had that much cushion coming home, they gives me a lot of

:26:28.:26:32.

confidence in my strategy so I will rest up and get ready for tomorrow.

:26:32.:26:38.

Christine Ohuruogu is our main focus, what will you need to do to

:26:38.:26:43.

make sure you can beat her? Execute my own race. In Beijing added and

:26:43.:26:48.

run my race so I thought if I can do it over again what would I do

:26:48.:26:52.

differently so I am excited to have this opportunity. We look forward

:26:52.:26:59.

to tomorrow. Thank you for talking to us. Christopher Thomas in's

:26:59.:27:09.
:27:09.:27:20.

first attempt at the long jump centimetres at the moment. That is

:27:21.:27:30.

the lead. Early days, very early days. His first jump of

:27:30.:27:36.

swirling around. He is in the lead. There is one of the men of the

:27:54.:27:59.

moment, Mo Farah, 10,000m final, quarter past nine, looking forward

:27:59.:28:07.

to it. It is a random thought but if

Christopher Tomlinson, unlikely to win the gold medal with that first

jump, but he is in the lead. When did Britain last get three gold

medals in an athletics meeting in one evening? Tomlinson in their

Ohuruogu. Montsho, world champion last year, she first last in the

:29:44.:29:54.

experience for Great Britain. She goes out in lane eight. Montsho in

:30:09.:30:19.
:30:19.:30:47.

in lane five. The United States going strongly. Montsho normally

:30:47.:30:53.

runs the first 200 metres very quickly. Shana Cox running strongly

:30:53.:31:03.

in lane eight. Montsho is away. It is between her and the American.

:31:04.:31:09.

Montsho looks comfortable with 100 metres to go. She beat Christine

:31:19.:31:20.

Ohuruogu in her heat. Shana Cox his way out of it. Montsho just get

:31:55.:32:01.

Very Conservative-run. Most of these athletes will want to take it

:32:01.:32:09.

easy. Montsho, the world champion, very relaxed through the first 200,

:32:09.:32:14.

she had her work cut out in this last 100 metres with the challenge

:32:14.:32:22.

from McCrory. She was making a little bit of a mistake at the very

:32:22.:32:28.

end. Probably should have leaned at the tape there, she will qualify

:32:28.:32:31.

for the final but will not write her lane. Montsho always very

:32:32.:32:39.

relaxed, great form. You see comparing the two of them, Montsho

:32:39.:32:49.

very relaxed, holding form. A very good technical runner, she runs the

:32:49.:32:53.

400 metres with great sprint technique which is much more

:32:53.:32:57.

efficient and that is a big advantage and why she has been able

:32:57.:33:01.

to run so well over the years and won the world championship last

:33:01.:33:11.
:33:11.:33:41.

year. She will have a work that out First of all, assess the race.

:33:41.:33:47.

Obviously it was not the race I planned for. It was not the time

:33:47.:33:53.

that I wanted. I have to go back and looked over some things and

:33:53.:33:58.

worked it out. How much did the crowd roar at the start get to you

:33:58.:34:05.

and inspire you? It is inspiring, definitely. It is amazing having an

:34:05.:34:08.

entire stadium screaming for you and I could not ask for anything

:34:08.:34:18.
:34:18.:34:23.

like a teenager next to me! really nailed that one on take-off.

:35:30.:35:40.
:35:40.:35:46.

He maintained his speed. What a cracker! Fabulous stuff. Further

:35:46.:35:51.

than anybody jumps in qualification by a long wait. Still a long way to

:35:51.:35:57.

go in this long jump competition. But that will take some beating.

:35:57.:36:07.
:36:07.:36:09.

The conditions are not ideal. Greg Rutherford, a great job.

:36:09.:36:19.
:36:19.:36:27.

McConnell goes in this next semi- final. That Shea is at four Lee

:36:27.:36:30.

McConnell. A difficult draw and a difficult task because she has not

:36:30.:36:40.

been in great form this year. Dee Dee Trotter was second in the

:36:40.:36:44.

American trial and found some really good form to make it to the

:36:44.:36:54.
:36:54.:36:55.

Olympic Games. Often seen in the relays. 49.16 this year, she will

:36:55.:37:05.
:37:05.:37:07.

go out hard. 31 years of age, yet to break 51 this year. Williams

:37:07.:37:11.

Mills knows what it is like to be pepped on the line by Christine of

:37:11.:37:21.
:37:21.:37:30.

Horrigan, all the way back in 2007. Rodriguez of Puerto Rico. We have

:37:30.:37:36.

had two good athletes in each of the heats. Rosemary White is one of

:37:36.:37:43.

the fastest losers. Lee McConnell at her very best would be in that

:37:43.:37:49.

range, but I do not think she is quite ready to produce that. But we

:37:49.:37:59.
:37:59.:38:06.

shall see. This is the third of the three semi-finals. Some work has

:38:06.:38:16.
:38:16.:38:39.

been done there. She needs to do gets out very hard and has already

:38:39.:38:45.

started very quickly and is flying down the back straight. The Russian

:38:45.:38:49.

is already putting a lot of distance between herself and Dee

:38:49.:38:55.

Dee Trotter. Williams Mills in the yellow of Jamaica trying to move

:38:55.:39:02.

through. She is making a little bit of an in Red Bull stock this is a

:39:02.:39:12.
:39:12.:39:13.

big lead she is going to have. Dee Dee Trotter is coming through.

:39:13.:39:21.

Williams Mills is finishing quickly. The Russian just hangs on and Dee

:39:21.:39:31.

Dee Trotter it takes second. That last 100m hurt. Goodness me, she

:39:31.:39:36.

likes to go out hard. But I am not sure she thought she would come

:39:36.:39:43.

under that much pressure. Dee Dee Trotter ran well. Lee McConnell was

:39:43.:39:48.

always going to struggle in that sort of company. That is a tough

:39:48.:39:54.

way to do it, Michael. That is a very tough way to do it. I know she

:39:54.:39:59.

likes to go out hard, but you set yourself up for a bit of disaster

:39:59.:40:06.

which we were starting to see with about 50m to go. The rest of the

:40:06.:40:11.

field were starting to come back. That is Dee Dee Trotter and

:40:11.:40:19.

Rosemarie Whyte. That was a difficult way to run the race. Dee

:40:19.:40:25.

Dee Trotter are getting the second place, she is always dangerous.

:40:25.:40:35.
:40:35.:40:36.

Rosemary White as well. This was a really fast race for a semi-final.

:40:36.:40:40.

All of that lactic acid was starting to set in from having gone

:40:40.:40:48.

out so hard in the first 200m. Now she is trying to hang on. She may

:40:48.:40:53.

want to readjust that strategy for the final. She will have a great

:40:53.:41:00.

lane, no doubt about it. Some of the other competitors will have to

:41:00.:41:10.
:41:10.:41:10.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:41:10.:41:54.

sand. A nice bit of humour from the official. He put up the wrong flag.

:41:54.:41:59.

He can sometimes get a bit ragged when he is coming in at his very

:41:59.:42:05.

top speed and loses a bit of form and a bit of technique. He will

:42:05.:42:09.

have the emotion and the extra energy out there because of the

:42:09.:42:19.
:42:19.:42:25.

crowd. No improvement. Still lots more excitement to come. This is

:42:25.:42:32.

the final. We have got three women who ran under 50 seconds. But she

:42:32.:42:39.

is through, one step at a time. She will get one of the outside lanes.

:42:39.:42:44.

But safely into the final. We will keep you on top of things,

:42:45.:42:50.

but over in the Aquatics Centre we have had the 1,500m freestyle. We

:42:50.:43:00.
:43:00.:43:33.

the others are coming back. The race is going to go down to the

:43:33.:43:43.
:43:43.:43:48.

wire. Check out the scrap for second and third. A world record

:43:48.:43:58.
:43:58.:44:03.

for sure. Come on, son. It is a new world record. I thought he was

:44:03.:44:13.
:44:13.:44:32.

going to get under 14.30. What a master! He has just got that

:44:32.:44:42.

He is crying. He swims nice and karmic all the way through and then

:44:42.:44:50.

he goes bonkers. There was a lot of noise before he even began the race.

:44:50.:44:53.

He dived into the pool and everybody thought he was

:44:53.:44:58.

disqualified. It was his race to lose. He has taken three seconds

:44:59.:45:04.

off his own world record. The only thing he missed out on was going

:45:04.:45:12.

below 14.30. At 20 years of age we will see him go and do that. Also

:45:12.:45:18.

it was the women's 4 x 100 metres medley relay. We join it at the

:45:18.:45:28.
:45:28.:45:37.

halfway stage where the Americans assignment by Great Britain in lane

:45:37.:45:47.
:45:47.:46:03.

the moment the Americans are on world record plays. In second place

:46:03.:46:13.
:46:13.:46:14.

it is a scrap between Japan and Australia. Their final leg is

:46:14.:46:22.

Allison Schmitt, who is very fast indeed. It was a very tight

:46:22.:46:28.

takeover in lane four for Australia. Great Britain are still in 8th

:46:28.:46:38.
:46:38.:46:39.

position. They are not even in the picture. Allison Schmitt was a

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

fantastic gold medallist on the 200m freestyle. I am not sure if

:46:49.:46:55.

she can get under 53. If you want anyone at the back end of this

:46:55.:47:02.

relate to break the record, she is the one. It looks like she is going

:47:02.:47:12.
:47:12.:47:16.

to take a comfortable gold medal. A new world record! Well done, Team

:47:16.:47:22.

USA. The silver medal has gone to Australia and Japan got yet another

:47:22.:47:27.

bronze medal. What a brilliant week they have had and they are

:47:27.:47:32.

celebrating so much. A new world record and who would have thought

:47:32.:47:42.
:47:42.:47:46.

they would have taken the Chinese Another world record. The Americans

:47:46.:47:50.

have been dominant. I have not witnessed the Americans as strong

:47:50.:47:55.

as this for quite some time. All of those individual swimmers with a

:47:55.:47:58.

gold medal, the Americans made mistakes and they still broke the

:47:58.:48:02.

world record, very impressive performance by each of the girls,

:48:02.:48:07.

individually, but collectively as a team that is a very strong team and

:48:07.:48:11.

they can will -- bring that world record down even further. The final

:48:11.:48:16.

race in swimming is coming shortly, the relay, Michael Dobbs, his last

:48:16.:48:23.

swimmer ever. You say it like it is the final race we will ever see.

:48:23.:48:30.

Michael Phelps is one of the greatest athletes in the world.

:48:30.:48:38.

is an era that his finishing. This is his last race. After this, we

:48:38.:48:43.

will see him before it, after it, he should be marched around the

:48:43.:48:48.

swimming pool because of what he has accomplished. The American team

:48:48.:48:54.

will win this race. To be able to witness Michael Phelps in this race,

:48:54.:49:00.

just enjoy it. We shall. We will do it shortly. Let's go inside the

:49:00.:49:07.

stadium. Jonathan Edwards is going to talk us through Greg

:49:07.:49:17.
:49:17.:49:28.

getting ready for his next attempt -- Greg Rutherford. First though,

:49:28.:49:38.
:49:38.:49:51.

Mauro Da Silva or. He is the world to it is Greg Rutherford's 8.21

:49:51.:50:01.
:50:01.:50:02.

metres. It really is a bit of a lottery for the long jumpers with

:50:02.:50:12.
:50:12.:50:27.

position. 6th place for Mauro Da Silva. Mitchell Watt. You can see

:50:27.:50:37.
:50:37.:51:00.

the wind. That is tough to jump just wondering whether or not that

:51:00.:51:03.

a 0.21 will be enough. I would say not for gold, but could well be

:51:03.:51:13.

enough for a medal -- 8.21 metres. He will be looking to absolutely

:51:13.:51:23.
:51:23.:51:24.

nail this one. Huge confidence after the second-round jump. It is

:51:24.:51:28.

round about the same. Perhaps slightly less. Would perhaps be a

:51:28.:51:33.

little bit disappointed. I think he really wanted to stamp his

:51:33.:51:37.

authority on to this competition. The difference between now and the

:51:37.:51:41.

beginning of the competition is the fact he is leading and his body

:51:41.:51:46.

language looks very positive indeed. He is leading the Olympic final at

:51:46.:51:54.

the moment. 8.14 metres, a second- best jump we have seen so far, into

:51:54.:52:04.
:52:04.:52:06.

Greg Rutherford going well. On BBC Three you can see Team GB in the

:52:06.:52:09.

football again South Korea. South Korea took the lead but this was a

:52:10.:52:17.

penalty from a Baron Ramsey. That was an equaliser -- Aaron Ramsey.

:52:17.:52:23.

He missed another penalty shortly after that but at half-time it is

:52:23.:52:31.

all square, up 1-1. All to play for in a second half. We are going back

:52:31.:52:40.

to the swimming. It is the end of Michael Phelps' final race, the

:52:40.:52:50.
:52:50.:53:00.

to this massive crowd -- Great Britain. Tancock on the left,

:53:00.:53:10.
:53:10.:53:14.

Michael Jamieson at the back. There is Adam Brown. They will be

:53:14.:53:18.

dangerous. Great Britain in lane five, Australia in Laina the six

:53:18.:53:28.
:53:28.:53:29.

have a good team indeed. -- lane six. I don't know, I think it will

:53:29.:53:37.

be tough. Germany, their last shot for any medal. Even though they are

:53:37.:53:41.

desperate am not sure they will get one. Can you believe it, eight

:53:41.:53:46.

years since they haven't got a medal at the Olympic Games and they

:53:46.:53:56.
:53:56.:54:03.

are in 6th position into this final. This is the men's 400m relay.

:54:03.:54:08.

America in lane four. As with the women, so much talent here, so many

:54:08.:54:13.

gold medals and world records, you cannot see beyond them. There is

:54:13.:54:16.

Liam Tancock leading of the Great Britain team, they will be in lane

:54:16.:54:26.
:54:26.:54:29.

Fife. Berry is that readers. -- There is Matthew Grevers. There he

:54:29.:54:35.

is, the greatest swimmer in history, Michael Phelps' a final race ever,

:54:35.:54:45.

he won gold on the butterfly. Three gold medals and a bronze. Anyone

:54:45.:54:53.

going to get anywhere near them? I do not see it. We have got to be

:54:53.:55:03.
:55:03.:55:03.

careful on takeovers. His final race, Matthew Grevers leading off

:55:03.:55:11.

Team USA in lane four, Liam Tancock in lane five. Again you can set the

:55:11.:55:15.

world record on the lead-off leg of this medley relay. The world record

:55:15.:55:22.

is currently held by the USA. Matthew Grevers just missed it in

:55:22.:55:32.
:55:32.:55:39.

the individual. Gone off very fast indeed. America in first, Tancock

:55:39.:55:45.

in third, a really good first 50. Red cap in the Yellow lanes, it

:55:45.:55:52.

trying to hold on to Matthew Grevers. 52.68 is what he won the

:55:52.:56:02.
:56:02.:56:04.

100 in. 59.4 up is the time we are looking for. First, USA, second

:56:04.:56:11.

Japan, third Hungary, Liam Tancock was equal third, 53.40, a very good

:56:11.:56:18.

time for him, just outside the time he set in the individual final.

:56:18.:56:25.

Brendan Hanson for the USA, Michael Jamieson for Great Britain.

:56:25.:56:33.

Japanese having a real go. In previous Olympics, Hanson took time

:56:33.:56:43.
:56:43.:56:44.

off and made his comeback. He knows the Japanese were may very well.

:56:44.:56:49.

The Japanese are not strong on fly and freestyle. He needs to give

:56:49.:56:54.

them a bit of a lead. Michael Jamieson having a belter of a swim.

:56:54.:57:01.

There is the greatest swimmer in history, Michael Phelps, very tight

:57:01.:57:06.

takeover for Japan. Japan are leading the USA, that is a big

:57:06.:57:16.
:57:16.:57:16.

surprise. Great Britain in 4th position. A massive job to try to

:57:16.:57:26.
:57:26.:57:32.

take Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps doing a brilliant turn. Michael

:57:32.:57:39.

Rock is not letting himself get overwhelmed by the Australians.

:57:39.:57:45.

Japanese having the race of their life. Michael Phelps probably going

:57:45.:57:54.

to touch half a second ahead, really important. It is USA in

:57:54.:57:59.

first, and that is the end of Michael Phelps' swimming career.

:57:59.:58:07.

Second place in Japan -- is Japan. Hungary in third. That the son of

:58:07.:58:10.

Australia is in and he is there to be the fastest that of the world --

:58:10.:58:20.
:58:20.:58:24.

James Magnussen. Japan, Australia. Hungary have done too much too soon.

:58:24.:58:31.

They need to control the first 25. He is really digging in. The world

:58:31.:58:40.

record, I think, will go. It is held by Team USA. It is gold to USA,

:58:40.:58:44.

silver to Japan, bronze to Australia, Great Britain finishing

:58:44.:58:49.

in 4th position, a very good swim from them. That is the end of

:58:49.:58:56.

Michael Phelps, where does he finished? Right on top. His 18th

:58:56.:59:02.

Olympic gold medal. 18 medals, two silver medals, two bronze medals,

:59:02.:59:10.

22 in total. Team USA finishing where they began, utterly brilliant.

:59:10.:59:20.
:59:20.:59:22.

They were pushed all the way by Japan. A great gold medal.

:59:22.:59:25.

Surprised at the time. I thought they would get closer to the world

:59:25.:59:32.

record. There is Matthew Grevers, Olympic champion doing his job.

:59:32.:59:42.
:59:42.:59:42.

Tancock coming in with the red cap. Going in 4th. 4th on the first

:59:42.:59:52.

hundred. 4th overall. That is Brendan Hanson. Lost some ground to

:59:52.:59:57.

Japan, Michael Phelps waiting patiently, calmly. Look at the

:59:57.:00:06.

speed and pace of these guys. As leader did a great job. -- the

:00:07.:00:16.
:00:17.:00:22.

Japanese were made did a great job. These are full takeover. Michael

:00:22.:00:31.

Phelps, he grabs the bar. How does it feel, 18 in a big gold medals,

:00:31.:00:39.

two silver medals, two bronze medals, 26 world championship golds,

:00:39.:00:49.

44 golds in total. Unbelievable. The greatest swimmer in history.

:00:49.:00:54.

The USA have ruled the port with 30 medals, more than half of them gold.

:00:54.:01:04.
:01:04.:01:06.

Britain, well down of the official target. A fitting finale for one of

:01:06.:01:11.

the greatest sportsmen that has ever lived. It really is. If it

:01:12.:01:15.

went any other way it wasn't the right conclusion. I know this is

:01:15.:01:19.

sport, but this is Michael Phelps. If we are seeing the end of the era

:01:19.:01:25.

of his dominance in the Paul, it is a fitting finale and one that he

:01:25.:01:30.

deserves. People started to question whether he was the same

:01:30.:01:34.

swimmer he was four years ago. He is the most successful swimmer at

:01:34.:01:37.

this competition, add to that everything he has accomplished over

:01:37.:01:44.

the last two Olympic Games and it is an extraordinary athlete, a

:01:44.:01:48.

phenomenal performance, not only here but at that two previous games.

:01:48.:01:58.
:01:58.:02:06.

An extraordinary tally of medals. 18 gold medals, double anybody has

:02:07.:02:16.

ever won. If it was ever to be achieved again in the Paul --

:02:16.:02:21.

swimming pool, this is an achievement, I don't think I will

:02:21.:02:31.
:02:31.:02:35.

ever see again. I hope I do, but I It has been fantastic to be a part

:02:35.:02:42.

of all of discomfort to support Team GB and to see the UK's

:02:42.:02:47.

contribution to the Olympic movement. Back to the stadium and

:02:47.:02:54.

let's join John Inverdale. Never in the history of the Olympic Games

:02:54.:02:57.

dating back to 1896 has Great Britain won three gold medals in

:02:57.:03:05.

one session of athletics. I know I'm tempting fate, but we have Mo

:03:05.:03:13.

Farah at 9:15pm, and topping the bill, the poster girl of the 2012

:03:13.:03:21.

campaign, Jessica Ennis. Six events down, one to go and she is 800m

:03:21.:03:28.

from sporting immortality. Jessica Ennis has got the potential

:03:28.:03:34.

to set the stadium alight. So much expectation. Her Olympic adventure

:03:34.:03:44.
:03:44.:03:47.

starts here. Oh, my goodness! The fastest time ever by a heptathlete.

:03:47.:03:52.

If anybody wants this Olympic title, they are going to have to produce

:03:52.:04:02.
:04:02.:04:03.

something remarkable. She looks determined. Can she finished off in

:04:03.:04:12.

the same rich vein? Jessica Ennis is flying. This is a good end to

:04:12.:04:19.

what has been a critical first day. Is it the sun shining on Jessica

:04:19.:04:27.

Ennis in the Olympic Stadium? The stadium erupts. This is looking

:04:27.:04:37.
:04:37.:04:38.

better and better. 6.48. One step closer to the gold medal.

:04:38.:04:48.
:04:48.:04:49.

moment is getting closer. The crowd responding just to the site of

:04:49.:04:57.

Jessica Ennis. This is the third and last time on the javelin. A new

:04:57.:05:07.
:05:07.:05:11.

lifetime best. 47.49. She has stood tall and she has stood strong.

:05:11.:05:17.

There have been some tumultuous cheers at Eton Dorney and at the

:05:17.:05:20.

Velodrome and there goes Jessica sneaking through the calls zone,

:05:21.:05:25.

but it is fair to say that we know and she knows that the biggest

:05:25.:05:31.

cheer for the entire Olympic Games would be reserved for her if she

:05:31.:05:36.

were to win in about 15 minutes' time. It is a mind game now, it is

:05:36.:05:43.

not about the 800m? It is about what she is thinking. She will be

:05:43.:05:48.

thinking I have got this in the bag, but I want to finish this, but she

:05:48.:05:54.

will want to get as many points as she can. She will not start

:05:54.:06:00.

celebrating before it is time and she will remain focused. It is a

:06:00.:06:04.

seven event competition and she will continue to be focused all the

:06:04.:06:08.

way through until the end. We were thinking we were going to be

:06:08.:06:13.

talking about Jessica Ennis, but we are talking about Greg Rutherford

:06:13.:06:23.
:06:23.:06:46.

position at the moment. The last time we had two Britons in the

:06:46.:06:56.
:06:56.:07:08.

Chris Tomlinson is down in 4th. Not long and saw Jessica Ennis and not

:07:08.:07:14.

long until that 10,000m final. Kenenisa Bekele is attempting to

:07:14.:07:19.

win his third medal, but Mo Farah stands in his wife. It is going to

:07:19.:07:24.

be an intriguing race, one which we are all looking forward to. There

:07:24.:07:32.

was a little smile on his face. Jessica Ennis on the verge of

:07:32.:07:36.

something special in London. She will be on the track very shortly

:07:37.:07:42.

to complete a two laps of the track and I am sure she is going to give

:07:42.:07:49.

it absolutely everything. The standings are intriguing. We have

:07:49.:07:59.
:07:59.:08:01.

had our calculators out. It is not all about Jessica Ennis. That is

:08:01.:08:06.

13.5 seconds effectively ahead of the athlete in second place who won

:08:06.:08:16.
:08:16.:08:21.

a silver medal in 2004. The third athlete is 18 seconds behind

:08:21.:08:25.

Jessica Ennis if she wanted to take gold. It seems like an impossible

:08:25.:08:34.

situation. Early on we saw Louise Hazel complete her task over these

:08:34.:08:41.

last couple of days. It has not all been about Jessica Ennis. We have

:08:41.:08:45.

got three women representing Great Britain. It was a very modest time

:08:45.:08:52.

for Hazel. It was way below her lifetime best. She will not improve

:08:52.:09:02.
:09:02.:09:05.

on her place. Katarina Johnson- Thompson, a youngster who has had

:09:05.:09:15.
:09:15.:09:18.

such a great Olympic Games. The youngster from Liverpool is all

:09:18.:09:25.

smiles and why not? A superb first day, struggled a bit today. Her

:09:25.:09:29.

best event, the long jump, did not go quite as well as it might have

:09:29.:09:39.
:09:39.:09:51.

done. But watch her over the next Katarina Johnson-Thompson. How can

:09:51.:09:56.

you assess what she has done at the Olympics? She came here with high

:09:56.:10:01.

hopes to further a burgeoning career in terms of juniors, but

:10:01.:10:07.

this is her first taste of seniors. She has come off the back of a

:10:07.:10:17.
:10:17.:10:19.

world junior title this year in the long jump. Katarina Johnson-

:10:19.:10:24.

Thompson comes from Liverpool where she is coached brilliantly. She has

:10:24.:10:32.

a very competent all-round coach. If Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants

:10:32.:10:37.

to break the British junior record, she is still a junior athlete, she

:10:37.:10:45.

needs a further 936 points and she needs to run 2.12. That seems to be

:10:45.:10:55.
:10:55.:11:03.

a big ask. She has gone through in about 64. But the cheers in the

:11:03.:11:10.

stadium are not about the athlete in the lead at the moment. They are

:11:10.:11:15.

for this very strong, young lady. Katarina Johnson-Thompson, remember

:11:15.:11:20.

the name because she will be around for quite some time. She has got

:11:20.:11:29.

great talent. All eyes are on this young woman who is giving it

:11:29.:11:37.

absolutely everything. If the cheers for Katarina Johnson-

:11:37.:11:43.

Thompson are disallowed, what will they be like by Jessica Ennis?

:11:43.:11:51.

responds to their enthusiasm. She has moved into second. She is a

:11:51.:11:57.

gutsy young athlete. That could be close to her personal best. She has

:11:57.:12:05.

probably taken off three or four seconds off her personal best. I

:12:05.:12:09.

asked her a few days ago what was the thing she hates most and she

:12:09.:12:16.

said the 800. But one day she might have to produce a great 800m run to

:12:16.:12:23.

win a championships, and she can certainly do that. That

:12:23.:12:27.

unofficially is a new, British, and junior heptathlon record. A

:12:27.:12:33.

superstar on our hands for the future. But we are about to see the

:12:33.:12:37.

real superstar of the Olympic heptathlon. She will be getting

:12:37.:12:43.

ready to take her two lapse in a few moments time and to provide

:12:43.:12:50.

headlines for newspapers all over the world. This is one of the real

:12:50.:12:59.

dangers to Greg Rutherford's lead. Sebastian Bayer is starting to get

:12:59.:13:07.

it together. He has gone into second place. But it is still a

:13:07.:13:15.

good distance behind. But he can jump a long, long way. The field

:13:15.:13:20.

has been reduced to eight competitors. They jump in reverse

:13:20.:13:24.

order, so Greg Rutherford will be able to respond whatever happens

:13:24.:13:34.
:13:34.:13:54.

the sand. That was absolutely perfect on the board. Maybe missed

:13:54.:14:04.
:14:04.:14:14.

the take-off a little bit. He is back into bronze-medal position. Ed

:14:14.:14:22.

be advertising hoarding, at every bus has a picture of Jessica Ennis,

:14:22.:14:28.

the poster girl of London 2012 and the thing was could she produce the

:14:28.:14:31.

gold medal that would cement her place in British sporting history?

:14:31.:14:41.
:14:41.:14:46.

Things happen for a reason. I know more than anyone that things can go

:14:46.:14:54.

wrong. The support we have had in the weeks leading up has been

:14:54.:15:01.

amazing. Her Olympic adventure starts here. I have had so many

:15:01.:15:05.

great people around me for the past few years. They are all here with

:15:05.:15:13.

me. It is great just to have that support. The biggest cheer of all

:15:13.:15:20.

will be reserved for this lady. That crowd is unbelievable. The

:15:20.:15:24.

nerves and the adrenalin and everything kicks in. It is nice

:15:24.:15:31.

pressure. Everybody has been cheering for me and wishing me to

:15:31.:15:38.

do well. Jessica Ennis has nailed it. Having that crowd behind you

:15:38.:15:46.

really lifts year. It is a great occasion. I just want to make sure

:15:46.:15:56.
:15:56.:16:06.

cheer of the day. Jessica Ennis was introduced to the crowd. There is

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

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:16:16.:17:03.

the world. She leads by 188 points. could be called for Jessica Ennis.

:17:03.:17:07.

-- gold. Listen to the crowd. If you are listening to this in

:17:07.:17:13.

Sheffield, the home of the City of Sheffield Athletics Club, if you

:17:13.:17:20.

geer loud enough Jessica Ennis will hear you. She is not taking any

:17:20.:17:29.

chances. Denise Lewis, this is outstanding. It is more than

:17:29.:17:34.

outstanding. The crowd are literally going wild. I have never

:17:34.:17:40.

seen anything like this. This is how we are used to seeing just run,

:17:40.:17:48.

she likes to lead from the front, she wants to give the crowd exactly

:17:48.:17:54.

what they want. Absolutely brilliant. Everybody else is

:17:54.:18:00.

trailing in her wake. She is going to take the bell in just a moment.

:18:00.:18:06.

There is the severe -- silver- medallist. She could be caught by

:18:06.:18:10.

Yosypenko who is a good way ahead of her at the moment. She is being

:18:10.:18:18.

caught by Chernova. But that doesn't matter, all she has got to

:18:18.:18:26.

do is stay with the Russian. The German is there, Schwarzkopf. She

:18:27.:18:32.

was 279 points behind Jessica Ennis. About 20 seconds. It doesn't matter

:18:32.:18:36.

somebody has overtaken her. Everybody in the crowd was looking

:18:36.:18:43.

forward to this them. She will surely be crowned an Olympic

:18:43.:18:46.

champion and everybody in the crowd can proudly say, I was there. If

:18:46.:18:53.

this is brilliant. She has given us that the first of seven events

:18:53.:19:03.
:19:03.:19:05.

already. And here she goes. Everybody is on their feet. The

:19:05.:19:10.

pride of Sheffield, the pride of River Witham, Jessica Ennis is the

:19:10.:19:20.
:19:20.:19:23.

Olympic champion. It is the perfect day for Jessica Ennis. The best

:19:23.:19:33.
:19:33.:19:34.

all-round athlete in the world. She has smashed her British record. She

:19:34.:19:42.

hasn't just one nit, she has totally dominated the opposition.

:19:42.:19:48.

She has won by a big margin. Don Valley Stadium are watching this on

:19:48.:19:54.

a big screen, they must be going mad. You have all played a part in

:19:54.:20:04.
:20:04.:20:29.

the development of this brilliant Rutherford lying in gold medal

:20:29.:20:39.
:20:39.:20:39.

position as well in the long jump. Both Will Claye, 8.12 metres the

:20:39.:20:49.
:20:49.:20:50.

third place. Greg Rutherford, 8.21 at the moment. Can he ft office

:20:50.:20:58.

atmosphere, and it is big! Can you believe what is happening in the

:20:58.:21:02.

stadium at the moment. Could this be the greatest night of British

:21:02.:21:12.
:21:12.:21:17.

athletics history? It really could. Exhilarating through, 8.31 metres.

:21:17.:21:26.

In the context of this competition that will take some beating. What a

:21:26.:21:33.

night. Denise, what was your reaction? It is hard to find the

:21:33.:21:43.

words. We have witnessed greatness. Somebody who had a dream, to come

:21:43.:21:47.

and live on the biggest stage possible, the crowds have lifted

:21:47.:21:54.

her, she has been outstanding, remarkable, by far one of the most

:21:54.:21:58.

popular athletes I think we have ever seen in a long time, people

:21:58.:22:02.

love her, it they really do. You get outpouring of affection when

:22:02.:22:07.

she crossed the line, you could just feel that from the crowd. I am

:22:07.:22:12.

so proud to have witnessed this, it is truly remarkable. I think we are

:22:12.:22:21.

all quite emotional about what has just happened. That is relief, a

:22:21.:22:31.
:22:31.:22:32.

delight, it is a talent as well. In the presence of the all-time great

:22:32.:22:41.

heptathlete. Mary Rand, won a silver medal in addition to the

:22:41.:22:49.

long jump gold in 1964, there is no doubt about it, that is one of the

:22:49.:22:56.

most dominant displays of a multi- events we have seen in recent years.

:22:56.:23:01.

Jessica Ennis will wake up tomorrow morning hurting, it she will be

:23:01.:23:05.

stiff, but she will have an Olympic gold medal around her neck, how

:23:05.:23:15.
:23:15.:23:17.

about that? Outside where there is a giant screen the spectators are

:23:17.:23:26.

going absolutely wild with excitement. As she leads around all

:23:26.:23:32.

of the athletes who trailed in her wake. And that big smile on the

:23:32.:23:39.

face of Jessica Ennis will be beamed all over the world. A

:23:39.:23:47.

another special moment for Great Britain in these London Olympics.

:23:47.:23:57.
:23:57.:24:01.

Wow! We all stood on our feet and applauded not only for all the

:24:01.:24:05.

other six events but what she has done in the last few years to

:24:05.:24:09.

become as good as this and that 800m was something really special.

:24:09.:24:16.

The guts issue showed at the end there, unbelievable. -- the guts

:24:16.:24:25.

that she showed. There are probably a few tears kicking around in the

:24:25.:24:35.
:24:35.:24:35.

broadcasting unit. 80,000 people in the Stadium tonight, over the next

:24:35.:24:45.
:24:45.:24:45.

10 years we will hear people say, I was there that night, tonight was

:24:45.:24:50.

like the first sub-four-minute a mile. 80,000 in the stadium and now

:24:50.:24:56.

another performance from Greg Rutherford, fantastic. They

:24:56.:24:59.

heptathlete are lined up on the back straight, right next to where

:24:59.:25:07.

Greg Rutherford is. If he wanted some inspiration, he has certainly

:25:07.:25:16.

got it. This is a Super Saturday for Jessica Ennis, congratulations

:25:16.:25:20.

to all those people who have supported her, coached her, helped

:25:20.:25:29.

her. Her parents must be feeling a million dollars. They would be so

:25:29.:25:39.
:25:39.:25:40.

proud of their daughter. I still haven't bothered to look at the

:25:40.:25:45.

final scores yet but I bet they are impressive. He just needs to

:25:45.:25:48.

compose himself, I'm sure he is delighted for Jessica Ennis but

:25:48.:25:57.

there is one thing on his mind, his performance. Will Claye is in the

:25:57.:26:07.
:26:07.:26:15.

bronze-medal position, Tomlinson in 6th place. 8.31 metres the lead. It

:26:15.:26:21.

is not further. I think it is a foul. There is just eight it jumps

:26:21.:26:31.
:26:31.:26:45.

left, or seven jumps left before he And these results it will go down

:26:45.:26:54.

in history books. 6955 points, a new British and Commonwealth record

:26:54.:27:04.
:27:04.:27:04.

figures, Chernova or, 6628. Over 300 points behind. There is a big

:27:04.:27:08.

victory by Jessica Ennis over the world's best. Yosypenko of the

:27:08.:27:11.

Ukraine, she came through very strongly over the last couple of

:27:11.:27:21.
:27:21.:27:30.

events, she gets the bronze. No all the advertising contract and

:27:30.:27:36.

the media commitments and a chat shows and all of this, that and the

:27:36.:27:40.

other she never lost sight of what the crucial thing was, she had to

:27:40.:27:43.

win a gold medal here, the rest of her life was pretty sordid after

:27:43.:27:53.
:27:53.:27:58.

that. That is the site -- pretty sorted. If she can inspire a

:27:58.:28:03.

generation of young girls to get involved in sport. This was a

:28:03.:28:07.

phenomenal performance, I just think about what she is feeling

:28:07.:28:15.

right now. Not making the Baysham Olympic team -- Beijing Olympic

:28:15.:28:20.

team. Having a best performance here, winning in front of her home

:28:20.:28:25.

crowd, being able to prove to everybody she is the best, not only

:28:25.:28:31.

is she the best but she can cook -- perform under incredible pressure.

:28:31.:28:39.

Either with a couple of bumps along the road she could bounce-back with

:28:39.:28:44.

personal bests. This is a fantastic performance. I am truly happy for

:28:44.:28:50.

her. I think what is exciting is she knows what she can do under a

:28:50.:28:57.

lot of pressure. She deals with it, when she was down a little bit, she

:28:57.:29:02.

did great performances, time and time again. She thoroughly deserves

:29:02.:29:08.

this title. She has the Olympic title, has won the world title,

:29:08.:29:14.

European title, and now look at that big smile. I don't think there

:29:14.:29:23.

is any pain she feels now, just pure happiness. There was a great

:29:23.:29:28.

point Brendan made about the four- minute mile, this has been a real,

:29:28.:29:33.

I was there, moment. Not just because of Jessica Ennis, because

:29:33.:29:41.

of Mo Farah coming up, but also because of what might happen in the

:29:41.:29:46.

next 10, 15 minutes in the men's long jump. Let's go back to

:29:47.:29:54.

Jonathan Edwards. Sebastian by air, one of the

:29:54.:29:59.

athletes who could challenge regret the third, -- Sebastian Bayer. But

:29:59.:30:05.

he does not. Chris Thomas the next, then Michael Torneus. Then Will

:30:05.:30:12.

Claye, then thread Rutherford. Four athletes between bread Rutherford

:30:12.:30:19.

and an Olympic gold medal. -- Greg Rutherford. Celebration very much

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

under way for Jessica Ennis, is another one about to begin?

:30:29.:30:35.

moment for Mo Farah comes, Jessica Ennis has the gold medal she so

:30:35.:30:40.

wanted. Read Rutherford in a fantastic position. There was just

:30:40.:30:46.

a little word exchanged between Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis. A couple

:30:46.:30:54.

of minutes away for him. Starting to think Danny Boyle wrote the

:30:54.:30:57.

script for this night as well, not just the opening ceremony.

:30:57.:31:07.
:31:07.:31:08.

Absolutely remarkable. Mitchell Watt is just getting ready. He is a

:31:08.:31:13.

danger, make no mistake, he is sitting in second place. He can

:31:13.:31:23.
:31:23.:31:38.

jump a boy 31, there is no question running up, just didn't have to

:31:38.:31:44.

read them, just didn't have the pace. -- Ray them. Another athlete

:31:44.:31:54.
:31:54.:32:08.

bring for us? The two training partners, USA and Great Britain.

:32:08.:32:13.

Undoubtedly will be there nearer the end. 25 laps of the track, 6.25

:32:13.:32:20.

miles, years of mileage, cold mornings, Hills, muddy cross-

:32:21.:32:28.

country. Lap after lap of track sessions. Trips to altitude. All

:32:28.:32:38.
:32:38.:32:53.

Mitchell Watt is still in silver medal position. Chris Tomlinson is

:32:53.:33:03.
:33:03.:33:05.

in 6th place. He needs five centimetres more. But he needs much

:33:05.:33:13.

more. He is being stopped. He is not very impressed. Perhaps his is

:33:13.:33:22.

the start of the 10,000m. We will see the end of the long jump once

:33:22.:33:28.

it gets under way. There is the defending champion, Ken and Lisa

:33:28.:33:38.
:33:38.:33:39.

Bekele. Moses Masai has run under 20.27 11 times. His mother is here

:33:39.:33:47.

to watch him run. Galen Rupp will be a big contender. Not often you

:33:47.:33:54.

can say an Olympic 10,000 final that an American and a British

:33:54.:34:04.
:34:04.:34:07.

athlete may well determine where the medals will go. He is ready.

:34:08.:34:16.

This is Kenenisa Bekele's brother, Tariku Bekele. Will he be able to

:34:16.:34:20.

switch around and get in front of his brother, or up where he helped

:34:20.:34:30.
:34:30.:34:32.

him on his way? Moses Kipsiro, the Commonwealth champion. Gebremariam.

:34:32.:34:37.

Anyone representing Ethiopia has to be reckoned with. He might not be

:34:37.:34:43.

as quick in the last lap or so as his compatriots, but he may also be

:34:43.:34:50.

there to help. Zersenay Tadese, I do not think he will figure in this

:34:50.:34:56.

particular race. He had a go at the marathon, but it did not quite work

:34:56.:35:06.
:35:06.:35:14.

out for him. He is based in Japan. He likes to front run on occasion.

:35:14.:35:21.

It all comes down to this, all of the speculation. Not an event that

:35:21.:35:26.

happens quickly, it builds and it grows. Mo Farah wants to get on

:35:26.:35:36.
:35:36.:35:52.

with it. He looks relaxed. An Olympic 10,000m final. Now they are

:35:52.:36:01.

getting me nervous! Understandably the crowd are really excited. The

:36:01.:36:10.

performance of Jessica Ennis has heightened their expectation. The

:36:10.:36:20.
:36:20.:36:21.

10,000m final is under way. 25 laps of intrigue. Can do great champion

:36:21.:36:27.

defend himself against what surely will be an onslaught from the likes

:36:27.:36:36.

of Galen Rupp, but most especially we hope from Mo Farah. Last year

:36:36.:36:43.

Ethiopia found an unknown man to beat him on the last laugh. Well

:36:43.:36:50.

Kenenisa Bekele be able to resurrect his greatness? Can he

:36:50.:37:00.
:37:00.:37:07.

used this anger because he was Tomlinson. He will finish in 6th

:37:07.:37:16.

place. A really exciting long jump going on, but here is the 10,000m

:37:16.:37:21.

and the champion goes straight to the front. A bit of a surprise,

:37:21.:37:27.

that. Everybody was talking about tactics and having a team-mate.

:37:28.:37:33.

Kenenisa Bekele and Mo Farah immediately follows the big man. He

:37:33.:37:40.

is on his way back to fitness. He has had a couple of good weeks of

:37:40.:37:43.

training in Ethiopia since we saw him in Europe where he did not

:37:43.:37:49.

distinguish himself. But Kenenisa Bekele is feeling confident tonight.

:37:49.:37:53.

I spoke to his manager and he is expecting his brother to give him

:37:53.:38:03.
:38:03.:38:05.

some help. But it is very early to have the Ethiopians in the lead.

:38:05.:38:09.

Greg brother Fred is guaranteed at least a bronze medal, but I hope it

:38:09.:38:19.
:38:19.:38:19.

will be much more than that. -- Greg Rutherford. That will not be

:38:19.:38:29.
:38:29.:38:32.

enough. Greg brother Fred may be moments away from another piece of

:38:32.:38:37.

history for Great Britain athletics. But Mo Farah is trying to carve out

:38:37.:38:43.

his own bit of history. It is quite surprising to see Kenenisa Bekele

:38:44.:38:53.

at the front. He has got better as the year has gone on. In the first

:38:53.:38:59.

race he finished 7th. Then after that he has run 13.1 and has been

:38:59.:39:06.

improving. He ran in Birmingham where he won rather bizarrely. The

:39:06.:39:12.

Ethiopians had their trial in Birmingham and he won that race in

:39:12.:39:17.

27 minutes and two seconds and that cemented his place here. But he is

:39:17.:39:22.

not leading that quickly and that is why they are all bunched. Still

:39:22.:39:28.

early stages and we are reaching the climax in the long jump final.

:39:28.:39:32.

This is the only athlete who can deny Greg brother Fred from Olympic

:39:32.:39:42.
:39:42.:40:03.

gold. He is a specialist triple- He is a massive talent, he

:40:03.:40:10.

struggled with injury. They were saying they had to wrap that man in

:40:10.:40:17.

court and will, but I tell you what, it has paid off. Will Claye will

:40:17.:40:22.

take a bronze for the USA and will take that into the triple-jump in a

:40:22.:40:28.

few days' time. UK coaching will have a big smile on their face at

:40:28.:40:38.
:40:38.:40:38.

the moment. It is not quite a lap of honour at. I wonder if he could

:40:38.:40:48.
:40:48.:41:01.

would have put him down as Olympic champion at the beginning of the

:41:01.:41:11.
:41:11.:41:13.

year, perhaps not even at the beginning of this competition. That

:41:13.:41:19.

was always going to happen, but it does not matter. Olympic long jump

:41:20.:41:29.
:41:30.:41:30.

champion. Two gold medals in 20 minutes for Team GB. I do not think

:41:30.:41:35.

he can quite believe it. I do not think any of us can quite believe

:41:35.:41:45.

eight. Milton Keynes Athletics Club uncovered a great talent when they

:41:45.:41:50.

found this man. He cannot believe it, that is for sure. Let me tell

:41:51.:42:00.
:42:01.:42:11.

you, Great Britain has another Olympic champion on Super Saturday.

:42:11.:42:20.

Over to you, Mo Farah. What a night. Can you ever have imagined we would

:42:20.:42:27.

have a night like this? Mo Farah was getting blocked a little bit.

:42:27.:42:37.
:42:37.:42:39.

The two Eritreans and the brewing rings out around the stadium. Mo

:42:39.:42:45.

Farah gave him a post to say, what are you doing? Now there is pushing

:42:45.:42:48.

and jostling and a bit of nervousness creeping into this

:42:48.:42:55.

final, rather unnecessarily. They knew something special was going on

:42:55.:43:03.

in the stadium and ran the first mile very quickly, but now that the

:43:03.:43:08.

long jump has finished, they have decided to get on with the race.

:43:09.:43:16.

The Eritrean has decided it is his turn. 19 laps to go bust up

:43:16.:43:22.

Zersenay Tadese, bronze medallist in 2004, has decided he is going to

:43:22.:43:29.

make a race of it. Now it is time to get yourself in the right place.

:43:29.:43:36.

The race now begins to bubble. But the stadium is absolutely fantastic.

:43:36.:43:41.

What an evening, the most exciting evening in the history of British

:43:41.:43:45.

athletics, and one of the most exciting evenings in the history of

:43:45.:43:51.

the Olympic Games. One of the Kenyans, who shook came off. I was

:43:52.:43:57.

going to say it was disappointing. Because of all the pushing and the

:43:57.:44:07.
:44:07.:44:09.

shopping. Sorry, it was not one of the Kenyans. It is Moses Kipsiro.

:44:09.:44:19.
:44:19.:44:20.

It was Kenny is a Bekele. He was up on his feet. He wants to get

:44:20.:44:27.

himself closer to the front. Mo Farah stared out of trouble. He

:44:27.:44:35.

wants to be careful when they start pushing the pace on like this. You

:44:35.:44:41.

do not need to keep surging, so do not worry where he is at the moment.

:44:41.:44:48.

The pace is beginning to left now. The last lap was 61 seconds, but

:44:48.:44:58.
:44:58.:44:59.

they will not keep that going for much longer. Sir San'a today's date

:44:59.:45:05.

is a distinguished half marathon runner. -- Zersenay Tadese A. He

:45:05.:45:10.

knows his finish is not good enough these days, so he has decided it is

:45:10.:45:19.

going to be a hard race. Wilson Kiprop is in second place. Kenenisa

:45:19.:45:26.

Bekele is loitering in 5th. His brother is in 4th. Mo Farah is with

:45:26.:45:36.
:45:36.:45:36.

his training partner, Galen Rupp. The last laps were 61 and 64, so a

:45:36.:45:46.
:45:46.:45:47.

consistency has not been set, but they are going quickly. That is the

:45:47.:45:51.

runner from Bahrain, I do not think he was going to figure anywhere, so

:45:51.:46:00.

no more worries. But this is a tactic to mess them around a little

:46:01.:46:07.

bit. They did not mind the first few laps at a slower pace, but they

:46:07.:46:16.

are mixing it around, they are pushing it up and going down again.

:46:16.:46:21.

The Kenyans are pushing on and Mo Farah needs to think a little bit

:46:21.:46:27.

here. He cannot afford to let them all get away. The big names are out

:46:27.:46:34.

there. Moses Masai is there. This is going to hurt, but he needs to

:46:34.:46:44.

be patient and close that gap gradually. Tariku Bekele in second

:46:44.:46:52.

place. N Kenenisa Bekele, three- times Olympic champion. He has been

:46:52.:46:59.

struggling for a wild. But he is back here now. Mo Farah is working

:46:59.:47:02.

his way sensibly and his training partner is following him and they

:47:02.:47:08.

are beginning to work and closed the gap. They need to be a bit

:47:08.:47:13.

closer, and I think he is doing its sensibly. He has got to get back to

:47:13.:47:19.

the group, but he has to do it gradually. There is the

:47:19.:47:28.

Commonwealth champion who lost his shoe. There is Mo Farah's wife and

:47:28.:47:33.

child coming getting nervous as you can imagine. She is seven months

:47:33.:47:41.

pregnant. More than that, Brendan. They are watching nervously as we

:47:41.:47:51.
:47:51.:48:05.

all are. But do not get too panicky, really picked it up. -- Tadese.

:48:05.:48:13.

That is Bath for the 10,000m pace - - fast. This is hurting, even at

:48:13.:48:17.

this fairly early stage, they are not even at the halfway point. Mo

:48:17.:48:26.

Farah trying to conserve, sit, settle. The Kenenisa Bekele will

:48:26.:48:36.
:48:36.:48:40.

not like this battle. I was talking to be twice winner of this race and

:48:40.:48:45.

asked him about it, he said if it is a fast race Kenenisa Bekele will

:48:45.:48:51.

win it, if it is a slow race Mo Farah or will have it. This is an

:48:51.:48:56.

in-between race, he was very slow to begin with, and now beginning to

:48:56.:49:06.
:49:06.:49:26.

involved. Tadese, a big effort for him. You have got to admire him, he

:49:26.:49:31.

is just starting to slow a little bit. As the field starts to bunch

:49:31.:49:36.

up a little bit, not quite as much pressure being applied at the front.

:49:36.:49:44.

It was a big effort, so early, to be pushing in the 61 lap. That is

:49:44.:49:49.

65.45. They haven't been excessively fast. A 64, these

:49:49.:49:54.

athletes can live with that. Mo Farah is running a very mature race,

:49:54.:49:58.

he is in a good place, settling down. He is not getting concerned

:49:58.:50:03.

with who is leading, he knows the pace is manageable. He has grown in

:50:03.:50:09.

stature over the last couple of years. There he is, Commonwealth

:50:09.:50:17.

champion ahead of him, Mo Farah looks relaxed. Remember in Beijing

:50:17.:50:27.
:50:27.:50:27.

he wanted to get through to the final. They will have to do

:50:27.:50:30.

something to whittle this field down. There are some athletes

:50:30.:50:37.

capable of doing that. That last 3,000 metres was eight minutes five

:50:37.:50:45.

seconds. This Kenyan in the lead is based in Japan. He likes to put a

:50:45.:50:49.

bit of pace into the middle part of the race, he is not afraid to do

:50:49.:50:59.
:50:59.:51:02.

that. It is really interesting, East Africa, Eritrea, Ethiopia,

:51:02.:51:07.

Kenya, they wouldn't normally be cooking up a plan between them, I

:51:07.:51:10.

don't think that is what is happening but they are all having a

:51:10.:51:18.

go. They are saying, let's make it hard, let's take it out of Mo Farah,

:51:18.:51:24.

Galen Rupp. This is a race without a plan. Tadese has done a bit but

:51:24.:51:34.

his pace has not been consistent. They are a little bit tired, but it

:51:34.:51:40.

is not the sort of pace that will hurt anybody. Is it going to come

:51:40.:51:46.

down to the last lap or will they wait and somebody make a move from

:51:46.:51:51.

four or five laps to go? Mo Farah is just looking around, he sees the

:51:51.:51:56.

sign, 11 laps to go in the 10,000m, 11 laps between Mo Farah and what

:51:56.:52:01.

could be Britain's first ever gold medal in the 10,000m, an event that

:52:01.:52:05.

has been run for 100 metres since 1912 in Stockholm and no British

:52:05.:52:09.

athlete has ever won. Could Mo Farah go better than anybody else

:52:09.:52:19.
:52:19.:52:19.

has done before? Interestingly as he moved up and went past Bekele,

:52:19.:52:29.
:52:29.:52:35.

just clipped Mo Farah Again. We think the two men are very close

:52:35.:52:45.
:52:45.:52:51.

together, Farah on the curve. It is kind of Nessie. -- Nessie. People

:52:51.:52:58.

changing positions, a lot of nervousness. Tadese still at the

:52:58.:53:06.

front, still pushing on. Nothing much really. The interesting thing

:53:06.:53:11.

here is when the race is messy and there is no plan, nobody leading,

:53:11.:53:15.

there is a new leader now comes up, the Kenyan athlete moves to the

:53:15.:53:18.

front, but I think the most important thing for Mo Farah, keep

:53:18.:53:22.

your concentration, just remember, it doesn't matter what happens in

:53:22.:53:25.

these early laps as long as you get yourself into the position, would

:53:26.:53:29.

you decide you want to make an attack, he is in the right place,

:53:29.:53:33.

his training partner, Galen Rupp from the United States was right

:53:33.:53:37.

with him, he is close enough to the front to do everything he possibly

:53:37.:53:42.

needs to do and before the race you were saying he was the favourite,

:53:42.:53:45.

before the race you are saying he could win this race, and during the

:53:45.:53:50.

race I have seen nothing that can change my mind, he is running a

:53:50.:53:54.

Supreme race here, great confidence, he hasn't done anything yet, he

:53:54.:53:57.

hasn't bothered to dig into his reserves and he has got time to do

:53:57.:54:07.
:54:07.:54:36.

is interesting. I didn't think Quiros was looking good, Wilson

:54:36.:54:40.

Kirrop. Just trying to see if he is all right. Not quite sure what that

:54:41.:54:50.
:54:51.:54:54.

was all about. Two Kenyans left at the front. The pace is still

:54:54.:54:59.

nothing excessive. There is the great Kenenisa Bekele, up close to

:54:59.:55:09.
:55:09.:55:10.

the front. Behind him you can see Mo Farah looking down the track,

:55:10.:55:20.

Galen Rupp moving into third place behind the two Kenyan athletes.

:55:20.:55:30.
:55:30.:55:38.

Being overtaken by terror could Bekele. Eight laps to go. The race

:55:38.:55:47.

is getting really serious. 3,000 metres to go. 2.39 for that, too.

:55:47.:55:52.

Galen Rupp has got closer for the first time. Mo Farah stars to leave

:55:52.:56:02.
:56:02.:56:11.

with her. They have been coached by sellers are -- Salazar. They are

:56:11.:56:14.

side by side fought so many miles, normally Mo Farah has the kick at

:56:14.:56:24.
:56:24.:56:29.

the end. A can he find something, does pushing Mo Farah in the back

:56:29.:56:39.
:56:39.:56:47.

Kenenisa Bekele hasn't done anything yet. The pace is getting

:56:47.:56:55.

faster. Now it is about gathering yourself, gathering your confidence,

:56:55.:57:00.

or remembering your game plan, your best tactics. Mo Farah can be

:57:00.:57:05.

lethal on the last lap but so can Kenenisa Bekele. And nobody has

:57:05.:57:13.

ever won the 10,000m three times in a row, no Briton has ever won it.

:57:13.:57:20.

Kenenisa Bekele just ahead of Mo Farah, just behind Mo Farah's

:57:20.:57:29.

training partner, Galen Rupp. 64.9 second lap. Still nobody has done

:57:29.:57:38.

anything exceptional. The crowd incredibly absorbed by this 10,000m

:57:38.:57:47.

final, wishing and winning their man on. He is in full flow, looked

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

relaxed, so does Bekele, Tadese moving through on the inside. Here

:57:59.:58:06.

is Mo Farah looming on the outside for the first time. Tariku Bekele,

:58:06.:58:15.

Galen Rupp. Listen to the noise. It is slowing a little bit, it is

:58:15.:58:20.

building. The tension is building. This is the race we thought was

:58:20.:58:25.

going to happen. We have still got five laps to go, it is moving into

:58:25.:58:35.
:58:35.:58:35.

sprinter's territory, 65.9, slowest lap for a long time. Mo Farah moves

:58:36.:58:42.

into third place and that is the first movie has made in the race.

:58:42.:58:46.

Incidentally Kenenisa Bekele Sea is following Mo Farah but he looks to

:58:46.:58:49.

be concentrating, he doesn't look desperate that I have seen him

:58:49.:58:56.

before, he looks in control, on the shoulder of Tariku Bekele he has

:58:56.:59:05.

got his training partner with him, Galen Rupp. Masai still leads, here

:59:05.:59:11.

comes Tadese again. Tensions going on, hugely significant. This is the

:59:11.:59:14.

point in the race when the guys need to start deciding what they

:59:14.:59:19.

will do, he will do it first, is anybody going to make a move, will

:59:19.:59:24.

anybody respond? They are looking for gaps on the inside. And there

:59:24.:59:31.

goes Mo Farah, for the first time, four laps to go, Mo Farah at the

:59:31.:59:34.

front. There he is, ready to move, he is in a good place on the

:59:34.:59:39.

outside. If anybody comes behind he will be ready to move, he has done

:59:39.:59:45.

everything right so far. Mo Farah teasing the field, teasing the

:59:45.:59:51.

crowd a little bit. He will not want to hit the front until it is a

:59:51.:00:00.

winning effort, until he is attempting to win this race. This

:00:00.:00:04.

is the first time we have seen the Ethiopian stride to take control.

:00:04.:00:12.

Tariku Bekele moves into second place. Masai is on the inside. They

:00:12.:00:18.

are all tightly bunched. Kenenisa Bekele still there, takes the

:00:18.:00:24.

inside read. Mo Farah has still got nice clear air. He is in a good

:00:24.:00:34.
:00:34.:00:34.

spot. You have got to remember last night in the women's 10,000m, hard

:00:34.:00:40.

work was done so they was often in order to win the race. Three laps

:00:40.:00:44.

to go, somebody will have to do something soon. They are gathering,

:00:44.:00:49.

I hope nobody gets trapped. They could be dangers of somebody

:00:49.:00:54.

falling. Kenenisa Bekele in contention. Mo Farah in a great

:00:54.:00:58.

place on the outside ready to move. Galen Rupp, his training partner,

:00:58.:01:05.

is well positioned. Tariku Bekele, doing nothing other than blocking

:01:05.:01:11.

the track. A word of encouragement as they went past Chris Thompson.

:01:11.:01:20.

The crowds are already reaching a crescendo. Just over two laps to go.

:01:20.:01:27.

How easy does it look? Tariku Bekele leading. Mo Farah poised,

:01:27.:01:37.
:01:37.:01:37.

ready. Dangerous in the last lap. There is Masai it. Kenenisa Bekele

:01:37.:01:47.
:01:47.:01:48.

is in a terrible position at the moment. Two laps to go, 66, it is

:01:48.:01:52.

winding up. This is not a sprint yet. It hasn't started, we have

:01:52.:01:58.

been waiting for this. When will it break? He will go first?

:01:58.:02:04.

certainly hasn't started, Steve. To many in this group for comfort. It

:02:04.:02:10.

is about positioning yourself to move, positioning yourself for a

:02:10.:02:14.

last-lap effort. Mo Farah is in contention, Tariku Bekele is

:02:14.:02:19.

holding him up. Kenenisa Bekele is not in a grey place, he needs to

:02:19.:02:24.

perdition -- position himself better, he quickly moves up on the

:02:24.:02:29.

outside, and now we get a race on, it will come down to a last-lap

:02:29.:02:39.
:02:39.:02:51.

lap to go. The bell rings. Is it tolling for a gold medal for Great

:02:51.:02:58.

Britain? Mo Farah trying to become the first Briton to win the Olympic

:02:58.:03:05.

title at 10,000m. He has got a little bit of company. Including

:03:05.:03:15.
:03:15.:03:16.

his training partner. Kenenisa Bekele is looking far room on the

:03:16.:03:22.

inside. Mo Farah is kicking hard. The crowd are less Oppenheim and

:03:22.:03:31.

cheering him on. Just 100m to go bust up has he got enough? It is

:03:31.:03:41.

going to obey a glorious gold will start Mo Farah. It is gold! Oh, yes,

:03:41.:03:51.
:03:51.:03:55.

oh, yes. The stadium erupts. Three gold medals for Great Britain. What

:03:55.:04:05.
:04:05.:04:11.

a night! The emotion comes pouring out. Galen Rupp and Mo Farah took

:04:11.:04:21.

on the Africans and showed them how to do it. Unbelievable. Victorious,

:04:21.:04:31.
:04:31.:04:33.

happy, glorious. His wife is expecting twins at short lived. In

:04:33.:04:41.

all of this excitement, hang on, Tanya. I cannot believe it. Brendan,

:04:41.:04:47.

you and I have sat and waited for many years, you Moya then me. All

:04:47.:04:53.

of us have sat and waited for a long-distance gold. I will say it

:04:53.:04:58.

again, a gold medal at the Olympic Games. And the weight was surely

:04:58.:05:06.

worth it. The 10,000m was one in the game's 100 years ago, but a

:05:06.:05:12.

Britain has never won a gold medal. We have waited 100 years for Mo

:05:12.:05:17.

Farah. There is Chris Thomson just finishing and he will be as excited

:05:17.:05:25.

as the rest of us. Greg Rutherford, Olympic champion in the long jump.

:05:25.:05:33.

Somewhere backstage is Jessica Ennis. Fancy finishing the night

:05:33.:05:43.
:05:43.:05:44.

off with a win in the 10,000m. He really is our hero tonight. There

:05:44.:05:49.

is his wife and daughter. I hope they get a chance to meet him. I

:05:49.:05:54.

hope nothing happens tonight because she has been so excited and

:05:54.:06:00.

so nervous. Let's hope she can wait a little bit longer. They have been

:06:00.:06:05.

training together in Oregon on a daily basis, Mo Farah and Galen

:06:05.:06:15.
:06:15.:06:16.

Rupp. Get on the track. Those two lads have been through a lot

:06:16.:06:26.
:06:26.:06:34.

together, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah. What a night! I do not know

:06:34.:06:44.
:06:44.:06:44.

about you, but what a night to be British. Heart pounding, great

:06:44.:06:54.

scenes, lovely, lovely scenes. She looks calm and collected, but I'd

:06:54.:07:01.

bet she is not. I spoke to her a few minutes before and she was so

:07:01.:07:10.

nervous. Do you think he can do it? Thank goodness she did not run

:07:10.:07:17.

across the track. I am pleased his daughter ran across the track.

:07:17.:07:26.

Fantastic, congratulations to Mo Farah a. We have watched them for a

:07:26.:07:34.

long time. Now with his wife on the track. What a glorious moment. I

:07:34.:07:39.

think we should always have the Olympic Games in London. It works

:07:39.:07:48.

for us. What a picture, what a night. Do we have to come back

:07:48.:07:58.
:07:58.:08:01.

tomorrow? Well, we have had three gold medals and let's speak to

:08:01.:08:06.

somebody who had his own moment of celebration while that was going on.

:08:06.:08:16.
:08:16.:08:18.

I have only got another Olympic You are Olympic champion. I do not

:08:18.:08:23.

think I will ever get bored of hearing that. That is the most

:08:23.:08:30.

amazing feeling in the world. Four years ago I had a horrible time and

:08:30.:08:34.

my granddad passed away and I could not cope in the final. I have got

:08:34.:08:42.

one of the best teams in the world. I get so poor at from the Rotary

:08:42.:08:49.

Club in Bedford and by most amazing parents. And My beautiful

:08:49.:08:56.

girlfriend. Everything. Generally life is pretty beat it all right

:08:56.:09:01.

now? I cannot tell you how much everybody has worked so hard for me

:09:01.:09:07.

as well as myself will stop this has been a long process. To be

:09:07.:09:11.

honest, I thought I was going to jump further than that, but I do

:09:11.:09:21.
:09:21.:09:22.

not care. It has only been since Lynn Davies in 1964. We have to get

:09:22.:09:28.

rid of those black and white images. I am glad I can emulate something

:09:28.:09:34.

like that. What a night for Great Britain, three gold medals out of a

:09:34.:09:41.

possible three. I cannot think everybody at home enough and the

:09:41.:09:45.

crowd were absolutely incredible. I do not think it has sunk in a

:09:45.:09:52.

properly. This is what I have dreamt of my entire life. I knew I

:09:52.:09:55.

was going to be a sportsman and when I picked athletics I knew I

:09:55.:10:05.
:10:05.:10:06.

was going to beat an athlete and I have done it in London. You said

:10:06.:10:11.

you were going to do it and you have done it. The nation shares you

:10:11.:10:16.

join with you. Thank you to everybody at home and everybody on

:10:16.:10:25.

Twitter and everybody who has been supporting me. Go and celebrate.

:10:25.:10:33.

Brendan, just to clear-up one thing. Tariku Bekele won the bronze medal.

:10:33.:10:43.
:10:43.:10:49.

But it was playing into Mo Farah's fast or too demanding so far. But

:10:49.:10:55.

there are still too many. Now Mo Farah begins to stretch, but he is

:10:55.:11:02.

not doing everything yet. He is just tiring them. Here comes Galen

:11:02.:11:07.

Rupp, his training partner, both of them training in Oregon, and

:11:07.:11:14.

getting ready for this race. Tariku Bekele of Ethiopia is the challenge

:11:14.:11:20.

at the moment. Here comes the champion trying to win it for the

:11:20.:11:28.

third time, Kenenisa Bekele. But Mo Farah is not going to be beaten. We

:11:28.:11:33.

have waited a long time before a British Long Distance runner to win

:11:33.:11:39.

an Olympic title. The wait has been well worth it. Mo Farah crosses the

:11:39.:11:47.

line, Galen Rupp in second place and Tariku Bekele in third. You can

:11:47.:11:54.

see the expression on his face. He wants it more than anyone. He is

:11:54.:12:00.

crossing the line blowing kisses if you like. You concede defeat on the

:12:00.:12:10.
:12:10.:12:15.

This will be the moment that inspires the next generation. That

:12:15.:12:21.

is one of the things the London Games is about. This man will

:12:21.:12:24.

inspire the next generation of distance runners. Well done, Mo

:12:25.:12:34.
:12:35.:13:03.

probably is the most talented field ever assembled for a major

:13:03.:13:07.

championship 100m final. All eight athletes have run under 11 seconds

:13:07.:13:16.

this year. Allyson Felix, not her best event, but she did run 10.94

:13:16.:13:22.

to make it to this final. Tiana Madison has been a great surprise

:13:22.:13:31.

this year. Also at 10.92. Carmelita Jeter, the third American. It is a

:13:31.:13:35.

long time since the Americans have won this title, 1996 with Gale

:13:35.:13:44.

divas. Can Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica retain the title she won

:13:44.:13:49.

so well in the Bird's Nest four years ago? Carmelita Jeter looks

:13:49.:13:59.
:13:59.:14:00.

dangerous, but will the American get away to a good start? The

:14:00.:14:10.
:14:10.:14:26.

also Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is going to

:14:26.:14:33.

retain her title. Carmelita Jeter get silver. I think Veronica

:14:33.:14:41.

Campbell-Brown gets the bronze to add to the one she won in 2004.

:14:41.:14:51.
:14:51.:14:52.

10.75 seconds. She was just 21 years old when she won the title in

:14:52.:15:02.
:15:02.:15:02.

the previous Olympic Games. Thank you, Jesus. What a competitor. It

:15:02.:15:08.

is not all about Usain Bolt in Jamaica. The Jamaicans had a clean

:15:08.:15:13.

sweep of medals four years ago it will stop they have got two medals

:15:13.:15:20.

here. Veronica Campbell-Brown confirmed in third place. Carmelita

:15:20.:15:26.

Jeter three hundredths of a second behind Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Now

:15:26.:15:31.

a double Olympic champion. becomes the third woman to retain

:15:31.:15:39.

her Olympic title. It is also the quickest 100m ever run in Great

:15:39.:15:49.
:15:49.:15:54.

Britain. 10.75. Six women under 11 seconds. Suzanne's best. -- the

:15:54.:16:01.

season's best. That is fine sprint medals they have won in the last

:16:01.:16:09.

two Olympic 100m piles. Carmelita Jeter, 10.78, still a prodigious

:16:09.:16:19.
:16:19.:16:22.

time, steep. Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce does not panic. She holds her

:16:22.:16:29.

grip really well. She gets it not by much. Carmelita Jeter thought

:16:29.:16:34.

she was going to get it. The one disappointment was Blessing

:16:34.:16:43.

Okagbare, she was really slow. She really wanted it. Look at that

:16:43.:16:53.
:16:53.:16:54.

expression on her face. She was not sure. Such a good starter. She

:16:54.:17:01.

needed to be in the race. But then at the last 15 metres is where she

:17:01.:17:11.
:17:11.:17:16.

has been very good recently. Jamaica's success continues. It was

:17:16.:17:22.

almost an anti-climax, although that is not the right word, but on

:17:22.:17:32.
:17:32.:17:45.

the 200 metres title later in the Games, Maddison finishing quickly

:17:45.:17:51.

indeed. That in itself is a record, nobody has ever run that fast and

:17:51.:18:01.
:18:01.:18:06.

get in Atlanta where the Great Britain team won one gold medal and

:18:06.:18:09.

here we are with six in one day, this man rounding it off, you can

:18:09.:18:14.

see the headlines tomorrow. It is just extraordinary. Three gold

:18:14.:18:18.

medals for British athletes in one session at an Olympic Games for the

:18:18.:18:24.

first time ever, ever. Those three, Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford from

:18:24.:18:30.

Milton Keynes, they will name a roundabout after him, and the one

:18:30.:18:40.
:18:40.:18:41.

What a night, congratulations all round, from 80,000 people here, I

:18:41.:18:45.

know it is an emotional moment, you are Olympic champion. I am so

:18:45.:18:49.

shocked, I cannot believe it. After the javelin and knew I was on for a

:18:49.:18:52.

good score in the middle but I couldn't even let myself believe it

:18:52.:18:59.

until I crossed the finish line. I honestly can't believe it, all this

:18:59.:19:03.

hard work and the disappointment of Beijing. Everybody just supporting

:19:03.:19:09.

me so much. You deserve those tears, you missed Beijing because of that

:19:09.:19:13.

serious foot injury, and the way you have managed to rebound, world

:19:13.:19:17.

champion, losing the world title, still coming back and doing what

:19:17.:19:21.

you have done, better than ever before, a new British record. Are

:19:21.:19:28.

you OK? I am just shocked. Everybody that has supported me,

:19:28.:19:38.

awarded by everybody, my family. I am so happy. There are a lot of

:19:38.:19:41.

people are going to this, for all you are out there doing the

:19:41.:19:45.

business, you coach, your mum and dad, her fiance, they are sharing

:19:45.:19:52.

this moment with you. They have been here yesterday and today, and

:19:52.:19:56.

Tony and everybody who has worked with me over the past few years.

:19:56.:19:59.

After Beijing everybody said we're going for another four years to

:19:59.:20:02.

make sure you get there in one piece and finish what we started

:20:02.:20:06.

and now I have done that, I am so thankful everybody has helped me

:20:06.:20:10.

all this way. We talked a couple of weeks ago about do you believe in

:20:10.:20:14.

fate of destiny. But to do it here on a night like this, in London, in

:20:15.:20:18.

front of 80,000 people cheering you every step of the way, to win the

:20:18.:20:23.

800 to finish off. I just have to give it everything at the end, I

:20:23.:20:26.

would only have one moment to do this in front of a home crowd in

:20:26.:20:29.

London and I just wanted to make sure I gave them such a show and

:20:29.:20:32.

daughter home and left everything on the track. Would you like a

:20:32.:20:37.

little taste of it later in the week as well, maybe in the hurdles?

:20:37.:20:44.

I am not sure. I think any to savour this moment and enjoy its.

:20:44.:20:49.

Could you begin to sum up the emotions, just a final word, I know

:20:49.:20:53.

it is difficult. The nation has been behind you, supported you all

:20:53.:20:57.

the way, have you got a message. Just to thank them so much, it has

:20:57.:21:01.

been a stressful year, a lot of pressure put on me, everybody

:21:01.:21:07.

thought I was going to win that medal and it has been up and down,

:21:07.:21:10.

but everybody has supported me and helped me get where I am today, I

:21:10.:21:18.

found them so much. We had Michael Johnson in 96 delivered, and you

:21:18.:21:21.

were the face of the games and you have delivered. A cannot believe I

:21:21.:21:26.

have done it. It has been great having the support of, but a huge

:21:26.:21:30.

amount of pressure coming into this. I just tried to stay focused and

:21:30.:21:33.

knew I could do it and the crowd helped me and I have done it, I

:21:33.:21:38.

cannot believe it. Jessica Ennis, Olympic champion, it sounds great,

:21:38.:21:43.

congratulations. Thank you so much. How many generations do you want to

:21:43.:21:46.

inspire at the same time, three Olympic champions from such

:21:46.:21:51.

different background and one of them is with Phil Jones. Mo Farah,

:21:51.:21:55.

10,000m, Olympic champion, on a night of three gold medals for

:21:55.:22:00.

Great Britain, can you believe what has happened? I cannot believe it,

:22:00.:22:04.

the crowd got behind me, it was getting a loud laugh either. If I

:22:04.:22:10.

have never experienced something like this, it doesn't come out of

:22:10.:22:14.

often, having people shout at you know this is the best moment of my

:22:14.:22:24.
:22:24.:22:25.

life. 100 for two hours a week of a long-distance events that what he

:22:25.:22:31.

that is what you get out. I have had Whitstable from the craft --

:22:31.:22:39.

great support from. I have been away from my family for five weeks,

:22:39.:22:44.

I want to thank everybody who has supported me from my Chelt had up

:22:44.:22:49.

til now -- childhood. I want to enjoy his moment. It is just

:22:49.:22:55.

beginning to sink in. I know it was momentous, you were able to share

:22:55.:22:59.

it with your wife and daughter. That meant so much, see my daughter,

:22:59.:23:03.

really emotional, she came running towards me. You have got a present

:23:03.:23:08.

for her. Somebody gave me it so I want to give her this. And a gold

:23:08.:23:12.

medal already round your neck. You will get the real deal before long.

:23:12.:23:15.

You came into here as one of the favourites, if not the favourite,

:23:15.:23:18.

you had so much pressure, after what you did at the world

:23:18.:23:22.

championships last year, had it taken out of your grasp, the way

:23:22.:23:25.

you have managed to deliver this give you so much joy. If my legs

:23:25.:23:29.

were getting tired and I had to begin in the last bit, the crowd

:23:29.:23:34.

gave me that beast, and a news that he was coming and my training

:23:34.:23:39.

partner did well coming second. Unbelievable. What about all those

:23:39.:23:43.

people along the way who have supported you, I know it goes way

:23:43.:23:53.
:23:53.:23:54.

beyond Europe and the media team. Unbelievable, my coaches, p teacher,

:23:54.:24:02.

a people from my childhood, my coach now, Alberto. I want to

:24:03.:24:06.

offend everybody who has supported me. I cannot find enough people on

:24:06.:24:10.

television, I wanted that everybody who has associated with me. 80,000

:24:10.:24:14.

people, millions at home, if you were a national hero before, you

:24:14.:24:23.

certainly are now. Thank you to certainly are now. Thank you to

:24:23.:24:25.

everybody. The gold medal, the Olympic

:24:25.:24:30.

champion, Mo Farah of Great Britain. Galen Rupp, the silver medal for

:24:30.:24:34.

the FA. To reap the Bekele he finishes ahead of his brother to

:24:34.:24:44.

take the bronze for Ethiopia. -- Not only have we seen incredible

:24:44.:24:47.

events in the athletics stadium, but Team GB in the football are

:24:47.:24:51.

playing South Korea. It has gone to a penalty shoot-out. Both teams

:24:51.:24:57.

have scored their first penalty, such a crazy day, we might even win

:24:57.:25:03.

one of them. There's joined Jonathan Pearce with Mark Lawrenson.

:25:03.:25:13.
:25:13.:25:25.

captain has levelled them. Second penalty for Great Britain,

:25:25.:25:34.

brilliantly done. Just two steps. The goalkeeper might have got a

:25:34.:25:44.
:25:44.:25:45.

slight touch. South Korea sending on their substitute. Briefly had a

:25:45.:25:52.

spell at Watford youth team. 1-1 it finished in the regulation 90

:25:52.:26:02.
:26:02.:26:33.

wait a long time. 2-2. As cool as Michael Richard was taken off

:26:33.:26:43.
:26:43.:27:03.

under this kind of pressure in his Stuart Pearce has been there. Seen

:27:03.:27:11.

them go in, seen them horribly go wrong, the tears of Turin, 1990.

:27:11.:27:18.

Wembley, 96 final. There is the great South Korean captain and

:27:18.:27:28.
:27:28.:27:49.

World Cup hero. The centre-half, take any notice of you there. They

:27:49.:27:59.
:27:59.:28:21.

have real deliberation, the South He has done well. Ryan Giggs. He

:28:21.:28:30.

came on for Craig Bellamy. Surely, the Welsh hero cannot fail.

:28:30.:28:38.

goalkeeper when the wrong way by a mile. A long, curving run. Great

:28:38.:28:48.
:28:48.:28:51.

penalty. He went early as well, the goalkeeper. Park, he had a great

:28:51.:29:01.
:29:01.:29:16.

game. If he misses this, so close. part of one of the eight penalties,

:29:16.:29:20.

the smallest of touches by one of the goalkeepers, not really looked

:29:21.:29:30.
:29:31.:29:49.

No vest in the stadium. -- he is nervous. The keeper saves it. He

:29:49.:29:53.

always looked nervous. There is the goalkeeper who had to go off

:29:53.:30:01.

injured. Somebody go and console him. Just as soon as he stopped

:30:01.:30:05.

there and the goalkeeper decided, slight movement of the feet, he

:30:05.:30:10.

decided where he was going. That was a really good safe. He also

:30:10.:30:20.
:30:20.:30:24.

dived out. And the Celtic player to break British hearts and the dream

:30:24.:30:34.
:30:34.:30:37.

of Olympic gold. The nation needs you. South Korea go through. Great

:30:37.:30:47.
:30:47.:30:48.

Britain's hopes of a medal at these Olympics are Rover. -- are over. So

:30:48.:30:51.

many heroes have been beaten in these Olympics, for Great Britain

:30:51.:30:58.

it is the last defeat of this competition. Beaten on companies,

:30:58.:31:06.

5-4. -- beaten on penalties. Some things never change, Team GB

:31:06.:31:16.
:31:16.:31:21.

Let's not let that get us down, after what has been a truly

:31:21.:31:26.

magnificent evening in that stadium over there, lit up red, white and

:31:26.:31:29.

blue. So it should be. We are expecting the medal ceremony any

:31:29.:31:36.

minute now. Les rejoin John Inverdale. There's just established

:31:36.:31:40.

the fact, it is the first time in Olympic history great Britain has

:31:40.:31:45.

won three medals in one athletics session. Greg Rutherford, Jessica

:31:45.:31:50.

Ennis, Mo Farah, and it is the first time we have had a gold medal

:31:50.:31:55.

in an Olympic Games track and field meeting on an Olympic track in this

:31:55.:32:01.

country since 19 awake. We waited 104 years for one gold medal, and

:32:01.:32:05.

three came along at the same time, never mind London buses. We got

:32:05.:32:13.

three. Sir Paul McCartney there, he was at the Velodrome earlier. Where

:32:13.:32:16.

McCartney goes, gold follows, we should ship him around to every

:32:16.:32:23.

single venue. Denise, let's do it in chronological order. Jessica

:32:23.:32:31.

Ennis. All the hype, all the talk, all the pressure and she delivered.

:32:31.:32:35.

I am so exhausted, it is hard to find the words to describe what she

:32:35.:32:43.

has done here. You wait for moments like this in your career to witness

:32:44.:32:50.

greatness. She could have sat back, she didn't need to run this hard,

:32:50.:32:55.

sheet is that type of athlete, she wanted to feel that magical moment

:32:55.:33:02.

when she crossed the line with arms aloft, and isn't that just the best

:33:02.:33:08.

image you could have witnessed, it was fantastic. Tears and tears.

:33:08.:33:18.
:33:18.:33:21.

Greg Rutherford. Colin. I have been thinking that time when he won a

:33:21.:33:26.

silver medal, he had a lot of chance of developing, niggling

:33:26.:33:31.

injuries all the time. The risk of changing his coach and thinking if

:33:31.:33:35.

I am going to make it I have to make changes. He made the changes

:33:35.:33:39.

and they worked wonders for him. He is now the Olympic champion, great

:33:39.:33:45.

performance. You were able to watch Mo Farah's race and it was

:33:45.:33:50.

extraordinary, such a mess in a way, he was the third, 12, 4th, 9th, a

:33:50.:33:56.

lot of pushing and jostling. How to assess the way he kept his race

:33:56.:34:03.

plan and deliver it? With a lot of tactics he was fortunate to have

:34:03.:34:07.

Galen Rupp there, the American who ran a fantastic race, to work with

:34:07.:34:14.

because normally the others will gang up on him. He was able to hold

:34:14.:34:22.

his form, went in with a race plan, he led from last year. This was

:34:22.:34:28.

playing into his hands. He showed guts and literally ran away from

:34:28.:34:38.
:34:38.:34:40.

the field. Really happy. A lot of expectation that he should win.

:34:40.:34:48.

Nobody expected Greg Rutherford, we knew it would be tough for Jessica.

:34:48.:34:53.

By and large we have still got 75,000 in here. Greg Rutherford's

:34:53.:34:59.

medal ceremony tomorrow, and Mo Farah's but Jessica Ennis's medal

:34:59.:35:04.

ceremony coming up shortly. The noise when she can sat in a few

:35:04.:35:10.

moments time, if we had a roof, it would raise it. It was a perfect

:35:10.:35:20.
:35:20.:35:25.

evening, it is mild, Barmby, and -- balmy. Could we ever have a

:35:25.:35:28.

management -- imagined we would have three gold medals? Jessica

:35:28.:35:32.

Ennis was thinking friends, family, but somebody who has been crucial

:35:32.:35:38.

in a development and becoming a bit jumpy in his head coach. What a

:35:38.:35:45.

night it has been, how emotional. The man behind the success. I was

:35:46.:35:50.

only really nervous before the 800 because at that point it was really

:35:50.:35:55.

real. That is the point when you fall over, if you break early, that

:35:55.:36:00.

is the one real time I have been nervous, let's go through things

:36:00.:36:06.

nice and steady. She ran very quickly for the first 200, another

:36:06.:36:11.

small heart attack. This crowd that to drag her around, when she came

:36:11.:36:14.

through she was so emotional. A huge build-up. I cannot believe the

:36:14.:36:18.

crowd. When she was introduced at the first event you couldn't hear

:36:18.:36:22.

the introduction and a minute try to hear the introduction to the

:36:22.:36:25.

800m it was crazy, you really couldn't hear it. They have been

:36:25.:36:30.

loud but that was incredible. me about all that hard work through

:36:30.:36:36.

all those years that have come together to make this moment happen,

:36:36.:36:41.

if you count? Don't make me cry. It has been along for years, four

:36:41.:36:46.

years ago we were sitting at her house watching the Baysham Olympics

:36:46.:36:53.

and thinking, what might have been. -- Beijing Olympics. Then there was

:36:53.:36:57.

moments of doubt, a bit of injury last year. Then to come here and

:36:57.:37:02.

perform the way she has, incredible. What has been your job to keep her

:37:02.:37:09.

calm, keep her in check, with that swell of publicity, the face of the

:37:09.:37:14.

Games? She has kept me calm. There has been a lot of pressure, when

:37:14.:37:19.

Lord Coe suggested she was the face of the gains it to go from there. -

:37:19.:37:23.

- face of the Games. I have seen billboards all over the place. She

:37:23.:37:29.

is everywhere. It has been pretty surreal, what will happen after now,

:37:29.:37:37.

I dunno. The person he was the face of the games before the Games may

:37:37.:37:40.

find herself as the face of the Games after the Games and that was

:37:40.:37:46.

all we could ever have asked of her. Red, white and blue lighting up the

:37:46.:37:51.

Olympic Stadium tonight. Michael and Colin were talking about how

:37:51.:37:55.

Jessica Ennis absorbed all the pressure but never lost sight of

:37:55.:38:00.

the key thing being there was a job to be done and that was to become

:38:00.:38:05.

Olympic champion. I know in many ways that's why you admire her more

:38:05.:38:15.
:38:15.:38:15.

than anything else. The job she had in front of her, I know a lot of

:38:15.:38:19.

people thought she could do it, but you still have to deliver on the

:38:19.:38:23.

day, she did that. That is why you have to respect her. She talked

:38:23.:38:28.

about the pressure briefly. But she managed to absorb that, internalise

:38:28.:38:37.

it. She really enjoyed it. I am sure it is incredible joy and

:38:37.:38:44.

emotion. After Beijing, there was a disaster, she wasn't able to make

:38:44.:38:51.

that team, then making an Olympics on home soil and having that

:38:51.:39:00.

success. Got food poisoning, wasn't able to win, and then this was all

:39:00.:39:03.

kind of emotion, I'm sure that is what she is feeling right now. I

:39:03.:39:12.

can be happy -- I couldn't be happier for her. Listen to this,

:39:12.:39:19.

the cheering for Jessica Ennis at London 2012. Please welcome your

:39:19.:39:29.
:39:29.:39:30.

I am sure this is just the kind of moment Paul Dickenson always dreamt

:39:30.:39:40.
:39:40.:39:52.

A very special moment indeed. Lord Coe. They will be very proud.

:39:52.:39:55.

Sebastian Coe joined us in a commentary box yesterday and he

:39:55.:40:05.
:40:05.:40:10.

said, you know, I think we got the A wonderful evening, the track and

:40:10.:40:15.

field athletics of the highest quality. Jessica produced the 5th

:40:15.:40:21.

highest total in heptathlon terms of all time. British and

:40:21.:40:30.

Commonwealth records as well. Tatyana Chernova gets her second

:40:30.:40:36.

Olympic bronze medal. This tall, elegant Russian certainly has a lot

:40:36.:40:46.
:40:46.:40:59.

of talent. But she was well beaten A little while ago they were

:40:59.:41:04.

playing a Beatles record, and there is one person in the stadium who

:41:04.:41:10.

everybody loves, she is standing there right in the middle.

:41:10.:41:13.

Schwarzkopf had a performance of her life. It has taken her for

:41:13.:41:17.

years to rise from eight in the Olympic test -- the Olympic

:41:17.:41:20.

heptathlon to the silver medal position. The Germans have a new

:41:20.:41:30.
:41:30.:41:33.

star here. But she was a long way behind the champion. And as her

:41:33.:41:38.

coach, who is sitting just in front of us here, said about what

:41:38.:41:42.

happened four years ago when Jessica was injured, I wonder if

:41:42.:41:47.

then she dreamt of what would happen in four years' time. A

:41:47.:41:54.

perfect today's for the Olympic heptathlon Channa -- champion,

:41:54.:42:04.
:42:04.:42:21.

She is very definitely the Queen of London 2012.

:42:21.:42:31.
:42:31.:42:52.

She will never forget this evening Please stand for the national

:42:52.:43:02.
:43:02.:43:08.

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

:43:08.:43:16.

# God save the Queen! # Send her victorious.

:43:16.:43:26.
:43:26.:43:29.

# Happy and glorious. # Long to reign over us.

:43:29.:43:39.
:43:39.:43:58.

The crowd salutes at the best all- round woman athlete in the world.

:43:58.:44:08.
:44:08.:44:20.

:45:45.:45:51.

was followed by a gold medal for Greg Rutherford, he nearly quit

:45:52.:45:58.

after Beijing, he will be glad he didn't. In a sensational finale in

:45:58.:46:01.

the Olympic Stadium Mo Farah's sprint finish ensured he became
