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. | |

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. | |
qualification was pretty modest, 7.60. Relatively bid in the first | :27:37. | :27:46. | |
:27:47. | :27:47. | ||
round. You can never quite know what will happen. The wind is | :27:47. | :27:54. | |
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 | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
Christopher Tomlinson, unlikely to win the gold medal with that first | :28:10. | :28:17. | |
jump, but he is in the lead. When did Britain last get three gold | :28:17. | :28:22. | |
medals in an athletics meeting in one evening? Tomlinson in their | :28:22. | :28:29. | |
lead in the long jump. Everybody with the Jessica Ennis mask, please | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
stand up. They cannot hear me. Tomlinson in the lead in the long | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
jump, Mo Farah, 915, just before 9pm, Jessica Ennis. What else would | :28:39. | :28:46. | |
you want to do on a Saturday night? Athlete out on the track for the | :28:46. | :28:55. | |
second semi-final of the women's 400 metres. There is the line-up. | :28:55. | :29:02. | |
Montsho, it fourth-best in the world this year from Botswana. | :29:02. | :29:10. | |
Shana Cox from Great Britain does in Laneham break. -- does in a lane | :29:10. | :29:20. | |
:29:20. | :29:28. | ||
eligible to compete in championships for Britain from | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
September 2011. Second in the UK Championships behind Christina | :29:32. | :29:42. | |
:29:42. | :29:44. | ||
Ohuruogu. Montsho, world champion last year, she first last in the | :29:44. | :29:54. | |
:29:54. | :30:09. | ||
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. | |
:31:03. | :31:04. | ||
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 | :31:09. | :31:19. | |
:31:19. | :31:20. | ||
Ohuruogu in her heat. Shana Cox his way out of it. Montsho just get | :31:20. | :31:28. | |
sick. But the American just in second place. Not as fast as | :31:28. | :31:38. | |
:31:38. | :31:41. | ||
Richards-Ross in the first semi- final. You can never cat out | :31:41. | :31:51. | |
:31:51. | :31:55. | ||
Montsho. -- count out. We will update you on Shana Cox's placing. | :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. | ||
else. Thank you for talking to us. No problem. This is the leader. | :34:23. | :34:33. | |
:34:33. | :34:48. | ||
population is supporting you. This long jump competition is wide open. | :34:48. | :34:58. | |
:34:58. | :35:17. | ||
His team-mate Chris Tomlinson is The long jump competition comes | :35:17. | :35:25. | |
alive with Greg Rutherford. Paul Dickenson is bouncing up and down | :35:25. | :35:30. | |
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. | ||

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 | :46:01. | :46:11. | |
