Welcome back. If you were not what us a moment to go on BBC One, Mr

:00:57.:01:01.

real treat because Chris Hoy was on the top of the podium again after

:01:01.:01:06.

such a courageous run to win the keirin. He bows out of the Olympics

:01:06.:01:11.

now, he will go to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, but he is leaving

:01:11.:01:16.

with six gold medals and a silver medal. A great champion and a great

:01:16.:01:20.

ambassador for the sport, and a popular man as well. There is

:01:20.:01:27.

plenty of success to talk about. Here are the headlines. We can only

:01:27.:01:31.

start with the great man Sir Chris Hoy, picking up his sixth gold

:01:31.:01:36.

medal to become Britain's most successful Olympian ever. Laura

:01:36.:01:41.

Trott also won gold. There was gold for the dressage team from Great

:01:41.:01:50.

Britain. They were almost impeccable today. Alistair Brownlee

:01:50.:01:54.

was an emphatic winner of the triathlon in Hyde Park, joined on

:01:54.:01:59.

the podium by his brother Jonny Brownlee, who finished in third

:01:59.:02:04.

place. There was more medal success for Great Britain in Weymouth. Nick

:02:04.:02:08.

Dempsey won Silva to make up for the disappointment of finishing in

:02:08.:02:13.

fourth place in Beijing. I'm afraid it was not all good news because

:02:13.:02:17.

Phillips Idowu failed to qualify for the triple jump, he came up

:02:17.:02:21.

short in qualifying this morning so the silver medallist from Beijing

:02:21.:02:27.

is out. The highs and lows of sport, not good news for Phillips Idowu,

:02:27.:02:33.

but the good news is that Britain has nous four 22 gold medals, and

:02:33.:02:38.

South Korea have won just 11. You heard in the headlines that

:02:39.:02:42.

Alistair Brownlee won the gold medal in the triathlon today and

:02:42.:02:47.

his brother got a brave bronze medal because he had to suffer a

:02:47.:02:51.

penalty and crossed the line and collapsed, and had to be taken away

:02:51.:02:59.

by a stretcher. He recovered well to the company his brother on the

:02:59.:03:03.

podium. Congratulations - two medals in

:03:03.:03:07.

triathlon on the same day at home Olympics. How does it feel to have

:03:07.:03:13.

the gold medal around your neck? it is fantastic. They are like

:03:13.:03:19.

buses - and had been waiting all this time, and two come along at

:03:19.:03:23.

once. We were both in great physical shape, we trained hard,

:03:23.:03:28.

and the strength of being in a team. Me and my brother have raced

:03:28.:03:34.

together for years, and we have trained with the one goal of

:03:34.:03:38.

everyone racing here today and getting medals. It has been a

:03:38.:03:44.

fantastic few months. Congratulations Jonny Brownlee,

:03:44.:03:48.

your first Olympic Games and you are on the podium. Yes, I am still

:03:48.:03:53.

pleased for my podium. It was tough day today, I went through a mixture

:03:53.:03:59.

of emotions. I thought it was a dream, then I saw I got a penalty

:03:59.:04:05.

and I thought it was a nightmare, then the dream again. The penalty

:04:05.:04:09.

didn't change things at all. Stewart was amazing today, without

:04:09.:04:14.

him it would have been so much harder. A perfect team and Great

:04:14.:04:19.

Britain has two triathlon medals. You are so much part of this. You

:04:19.:04:26.

might not have a medal, but you are part of those wins. Yes, just to

:04:26.:04:30.

see these two do what they did was fantastic and I take my hat off to

:04:30.:04:36.

them. They deserve everything they get. The crowd was phenomenal.

:04:36.:04:39.

Yorkshire flax as well as Great Britain flags everywhere and you

:04:39.:04:44.

had so much support, didn't you? Yes, we were watching you on

:04:44.:04:49.

television this morning and there were already people lining up

:04:49.:04:54.

outside at 9 o'clock. I don't think we will see a crowd like that again.

:04:54.:05:01.

10 people deep, all around the course. The noise was deafening. We

:05:01.:05:05.

were trying to communicate and we had simple words but you literally

:05:05.:05:10.

could not talk to each other apart from that part across the bridge.

:05:10.:05:20.
:05:20.:05:20.

The best win of your life? With out I just want to ask you how you are

:05:20.:05:27.

feeling, because you collapsed after the race. Are you OK? Yes.

:05:27.:05:31.

When I crossed the finish line, I think I overheated a bit. But

:05:31.:05:37.

higher OK now. I am fine! When did you hear you have that 15 second

:05:37.:05:43.

penalty, and did you know you had got on your bike too soon? After

:05:43.:05:48.

lap number two on the bike, I saw the board and I saw 31, and at

:05:48.:05:55.

first, I thought it was my brother. And then I realise, it is me! And I

:05:55.:05:58.

thought, what have I done wrong? Apparently, I went out on the bike

:05:58.:06:04.

and my foot was on the line. Apparently, you cannot do that. I

:06:04.:06:07.

thought if you did not mount before the line that was a penalty but on

:06:07.:06:13.

the line or after was a penalty. But that is what happens. It does

:06:13.:06:17.

not change the result anyway. It made it a bit harder. It made it

:06:17.:06:21.

very exciting. Congratulations, you've got a bronze in your first

:06:21.:06:26.

Olympic Games. And your second triathlon medal. Well done. Thank

:06:27.:06:31.

you. If yes. Well done to the Brownlee

:06:31.:06:38.

brothers. Stuart was there to help the Brownlee brothers and take them

:06:38.:06:43.

to the top of the podium. We gave you the news about Nick Dempsey

:06:43.:06:47.

winning silver in the windsurf category in the sailing. We can now

:06:47.:06:52.

see how that medal was won. And if the other British crews could stay

:06:52.:06:57.

on course for more sailing successful stop if more medals here

:06:57.:07:01.

at the sailing today. And Britain's Nick Dempsey, he went

:07:01.:07:06.

out to the metal race in a medal position, just as he had four years

:07:06.:07:12.

before. There, he came ashore with nothing, finishing 4th. Today, he

:07:12.:07:17.

was out to put that right and some big names came to see that happen.

:07:17.:07:26.

David Cameron, Ben Ainslie and the medal-winner from Sunday. A good

:07:26.:07:31.

day today would turn medal optimism into medal reality. So it is all

:07:31.:07:35.

hotting up for the end of the week for Team GB. It looks rather

:07:35.:07:40.

exciting. So far in Weymouth, the British

:07:40.:07:44.

sailors have secured a silver and gold medal, and today, potential

:07:44.:07:50.

for more. In the men's windsurfing class, the title had already been

:07:50.:07:54.

secured by the Flying Dutchman, so that left silver and bronze

:07:54.:07:56.

available and Britain's Nick Dempsey was in a perfect position

:07:57.:08:03.

to strike. The Olympic final is off and begun, Kang Great Britain when

:08:03.:08:09.

Silvia? Four years ago, he suffered a heartbreaker 4th, and this was

:08:10.:08:15.

his chance to lay the ghost of China to rest. At Nick Dempsey in

:08:15.:08:19.

third position, and he pumps his arms to get into second. This was

:08:19.:08:26.

all he needed to upgrade and Athens bronze to a Weymouth still. Nick

:08:26.:08:31.

Dempsey... Broken in Beijing. They promised silver. He has delivered!

:08:31.:08:40.

Nick Dempsey, Great Britain, silver! It has been a pretty

:08:40.:08:44.

difficult four years but I always believed I could come here and do

:08:44.:08:54.
:08:54.:08:57.

well. Just massively relieved, I An amazing day for spectators as

:08:57.:09:00.

the women's windsurfing final continued the high drama. This was

:09:00.:09:08.

a much tighter class, with seven goals in with a chance of a medal

:09:08.:09:14.

and podium position. That included Bryony Shaw. Potential for silver

:09:14.:09:20.

but it depends how many others in that middle area perform. But the

:09:20.:09:23.

odds were stacked against her as the Spanish sailor came through the

:09:23.:09:28.

fleet to win gold in fine style. As the rest of the girls finished, the

:09:28.:09:36.

points system confirmed a creditable 7th for Bryony Shaw. So,

:09:36.:09:40.

a gold and two Silva has now for the British sailors, and the good

:09:40.:09:48.

news continued in the men's competition. The pressure. On the

:09:48.:09:56.

Australian favourites. -- the pressure up was pushed up on the

:09:56.:10:06.
:10:06.:10:07.

Australian favourites. They have got it all Toulouse. And the women

:10:07.:10:12.

lies second with just two days to go in the regatta. And the women's

:10:12.:10:18.

match trio still have a chance of making the finals. Well worth a

:10:18.:10:22.

watch. A good day for British sailing, but

:10:22.:10:26.

I have Nick Dempsey with the medal around his neck. That was quite a

:10:26.:10:30.

moment when you make your family and love and Thomas. We have been

:10:30.:10:39.

talking about that. -- when you met. And little Thomas. It was pretty

:10:39.:10:44.

special getting the medal. And putting it around his neck. He was

:10:44.:10:48.

quite happy. I am not sure he was that had the! Not as happy as I

:10:48.:10:56.

would have liked him to be! But I am sure you get home and he will be

:10:56.:11:01.

throwing it around the house! were nervous out there, but

:11:01.:11:05.

watching the race, it was a confident performance. Nerves

:11:05.:11:10.

seemed to leave me once I have won the water. And once I do my

:11:10.:11:16.

starting sequence. Immediately after the start, the race was done

:11:16.:11:21.

and dusted. It was beyond my control. So nerves went out of the

:11:21.:11:26.

window and I just concentrated on finishing the job off. It is hard

:11:26.:11:30.

to forget what it felt like four years ago, but can you put into

:11:30.:11:35.

words what today felt like? Just massively relieved, more than

:11:35.:11:39.

anything. Just such an amazing team and I did not want to let anybody

:11:39.:11:46.

down. I have been talking about it for a long time. An aim to get a

:11:46.:11:50.

gold or silver medal, even a bronze. So to come home with silver is a

:11:50.:11:55.

proud moment. You nearly got into trouble with your celebrations. You

:11:55.:12:00.

let go of the board and John to shore! Yes. The police wanted to

:12:00.:12:04.

search me when I got back! Some of the other officials were a bit

:12:04.:12:09.

upset but there is not much they can do, is there! You seem pretty

:12:09.:12:13.

relaxed a relieved. A special moment. But so much going on this

:12:13.:12:22.

week for the British team. The 470s are doing well? Yes. I will keep

:12:22.:12:26.

the celebrations to a minimum until the whole team has finished. Just

:12:26.:12:31.

amazing. The boys and girls are so excited. And watch the racing

:12:31.:12:37.

tomorrow closely and the girls are still well in it. So it is

:12:37.:12:41.

fantastic for the British team. Incredible to be part of it. A you

:12:41.:12:46.

told me you would not touch anybody else's medal until you got your own.

:12:47.:12:51.

Have you done that now? I have not already seen anyone! But it will be

:12:51.:12:56.

nice to get back to the team and just shared the moment. But, you

:12:56.:13:00.

know, the team is very much still working hard. Still concentrating

:13:00.:13:06.

and we have more medals to win, I hoped. And your wife, what did she

:13:06.:13:12.

say to you? She said, Well done, very proud. Love you lots! She said

:13:12.:13:19.

what you would expect her to say. Again, very happy. And I am very

:13:19.:13:23.

grateful for everything she has done. Well, your little boy is very

:13:23.:13:31.

proud and we are proud of you, too. Lots more action this week. On

:13:31.:13:36.

Thursday, it is a duel for gold and that will be very exciting. And

:13:36.:13:41.

tomorrow, this gives are out. Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes, and

:13:41.:13:48.

they are in a great position to bring back a medal.

:13:48.:13:52.

Now, at the velodrome, it was not a fairy-tale ending Victoria

:13:52.:13:57.

Pendleton was hoping for as Ho Olympic career came to an end. She

:13:58.:14:05.

was hoping to be the first Olympic woman to win three medals. She

:14:05.:14:09.

found Anna Meares that her very best. The Australian won the first

:14:09.:14:15.

two races to take the gold, so Vicky had to be happy with silver.

:14:15.:14:19.

But just like Sir Chris Hoy, an inspiration for so many youngsters

:14:19.:14:25.

in this sport. Let's go back to the scene of those medals.

:14:25.:14:29.

And the winner of the silver medal, representing Great Britain,

:14:29.:14:39.
:14:39.:14:42.

Victoria Pendleton! She gets a huge ovation. So we will

:14:42.:14:47.

not see the iconic figure of Victoria Pendleton again. That is

:14:47.:14:53.

the concluding event of what has been an unbelievable, glittering

:14:53.:15:03.
:15:03.:15:05.

career. Enjoy your retirement, The winner of the gold medal, the

:15:05.:15:10.

Olympic sprint champion, representing Australia, Anna

:15:10.:15:17.

Meares! And she says the Australian's

:15:17.:15:23.

blushes because that is the only gold medal they have won. -- she

:15:23.:15:27.

saves. They have got a full collection of medals from the

:15:27.:15:32.

competition. She won the bronze in Athens, the silver in Beijing, and

:15:32.:15:36.

finally she achieves the top podium position. Anna Meares of Australia,

:15:36.:15:46.
:15:46.:15:48.

the winner of the gold medal, the Ladies and gentlemen, please stand

:15:48.:15:58.
:15:58.:15:58.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:15:58.:16:54.

for the national anthem of Ladies and gentlemen, the Olympic

:16:54.:16:59.

medallists. That concludes the ceremonies here in the velodrome.

:16:59.:17:04.

The cycle racing on the track is now concluded and it will resume

:17:04.:17:14.
:17:14.:17:15.

SUE BARKER: Congratulations to Anna Meares, and, Victoria Pendleton,
