:00:52. > :00:56.Welcome back to our coverage of London 2012. An Olympic Games which
:00:56. > :01:04.has dazzled, thrilled and astonished. We have seen more
:01:04. > :01:09.amazing feat today. European champion Robbie Grabarz
:01:09. > :01:13.added an Olympic medal to his collection. He added a bronze medal
:01:14. > :01:18.to his collection. This has not been a great games for
:01:18. > :01:24.Australia so far but they were back on top of the podium today, Sally
:01:24. > :01:30.Pearson set a new Olympic record of winning the 100 metres hurdles.
:01:30. > :01:33.The magnificent Sir Chris Hoy won his 6th gold medal to move him
:01:33. > :01:37.clear of Sir Steve Redgrave in the Olympic record books.
:01:37. > :01:42.Not quite a fairy-tale end to Victoria Pendleton's magnificent
:01:42. > :01:46.career as she lost in the women's sprint final but she still leaves
:01:46. > :01:50.the games with a gold and a silver. Laura Trott won her second gold of
:01:50. > :01:55.the games with victory in the omnium. She joins an elite group of
:01:55. > :01:59.British women to have won double gold at the same event.
:01:59. > :02:03.It was a proud day for the Brownlee brothers in the triathlon as
:02:03. > :02:09.Alastair took gold and younger brother Jonathan took bronze in
:02:09. > :02:19.front of huge crowds in Hyde Park. Great Britain won a superb team
:02:19. > :02:20.
:02:20. > :02:26.dressage gold, their first Olympic All that means in the medal table
:02:27. > :02:31.Great Britain remain comfortably in third place. The overall total of
:02:31. > :02:36.medals now is 48 which surpasses the total achieved four years ago
:02:36. > :02:41.in Beijing which was 47 and there are still a few days to go. A
:02:41. > :02:45.magnificent effort. Someone who contributed towards that total with
:02:45. > :02:49.a gold and a silver is Victoria Pendleton. Everyone was willing you
:02:49. > :02:53.one today. It did not quite happen in the final against your old
:02:53. > :02:59.adversary, did it? Unfortunately not. It was a tough event. I tried
:02:59. > :03:04.my best but not quite today. why a hugely competitive person.
:03:04. > :03:09.Your gold was one of the highlights for me in the keirin. I have never
:03:09. > :03:14.seen anyone I think so determined to hang on to the lead. I kind of
:03:14. > :03:18.wanted to take the race on. I was not going to look at any of my
:03:18. > :03:25.rivals. I was just going to do what I cannot hope fully hold on to the
:03:25. > :03:28.lead. I took on every round and it worked out OK. You got to fight
:03:28. > :03:33.against Anna Meares who you have been battling against for years. I
:03:33. > :03:38.understand there is no love lost but you were very gracious after.
:03:38. > :03:42.Absolutely. A lot of it has been contrived by the media, especially
:03:42. > :03:47.in Australia. It is just one of those things. We have met each
:03:47. > :03:52.other on so many occasions at major championships that our names are
:03:52. > :03:56.always drawn together and they say it is bitter rivalry but it is
:03:56. > :04:00.nothing like that. We are two girls who at the peak of our career at
:04:00. > :04:05.the same time. She has been a fantastic ride over the years and I
:04:05. > :04:09.hope we have both pushed the sport on together. You have been through
:04:09. > :04:13.ups and downs in this game -- in these games because you had a
:04:13. > :04:18.disqualification, a gold medal and then you were disqualified in the
:04:18. > :04:28.final again, they said you went outside the line. Do you think you
:04:28. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:33.were unfairly treated? What do you think? She cuts in that event gives
:04:34. > :04:39.you a bit of a nudge. Went and we made contact, I lost my balance a
:04:39. > :04:44.bit. That is the first time I have seen it. I did not want to see it
:04:44. > :04:48.because I was trying to focus for the next round. Chris Boardman
:04:48. > :04:52.thought it was pretty unjust and that put a lot of pressure on you
:04:52. > :04:58.because you would have been one up in the best-of-three and suddenly
:04:58. > :05:03.you were one down. I had to change my mind set. It was close. I was
:05:03. > :05:07.not sure if I had it or not. I was really excited for a brief moment
:05:07. > :05:12.thinking, one up, just got to do one more right and I was quite
:05:12. > :05:17.surprised. It is not like me to get relegated or disqualified and in
:05:17. > :05:21.the space of a week, I have done both. I am not the bad girl of
:05:21. > :05:25.cycling. Your story is quite something, what has happened to you
:05:25. > :05:28.over the last year or so and in many ways, it could end up being a
:05:28. > :05:34.Holyrood movie. There is a love story there, great triumph at the
:05:34. > :05:39.end of it. It has been a really tough four years for me. That have
:05:39. > :05:44.been times when I thought, I do not know if I can do it, I do not know
:05:44. > :05:48.if I can make it to London. I am glad the people around me convince
:05:48. > :05:56.me otherwise. They said, you do not want to be at home watching
:05:56. > :06:01.thinking, what if? I was really proud of myself even getting here
:06:02. > :06:08.and my ambition was to come away with at least one podium. I think I
:06:08. > :06:15.did that. I would have liked two gold. In my team, the standard is
:06:15. > :06:18.so high, not even one is enough. is. In the velodrome it has been
:06:18. > :06:23.absolutely breathtaking, the support we have had, the crowd has
:06:23. > :06:28.been so noisy and supportive and incredible, aid experience I would
:06:28. > :06:34.not have missed for the world. we are so glad you took part. Is
:06:34. > :06:37.that really it? He yes, sure. Honestly, the way I have felt this
:06:37. > :06:42.week, dealing with the expectation, the pressure, most of it I have put
:06:42. > :06:46.on myself. I would never want to go through that every game. Coming in
:06:46. > :06:51.as Olympic champion and for the last four years, in the last ten
:06:51. > :06:56.years I have been world champion six years, multiple occasions. When
:06:56. > :07:01.you ride did not win it I was Commonwealth champion. It is so
:07:01. > :07:08.hard to maintain that, for the ten years of my career at this level.
:07:08. > :07:11.Anything less is just disappointing for me. It is time and a wonderful
:07:12. > :07:17.ending. I will never experience what I have experienced here, a
:07:17. > :07:22.home crowd cheering you on in the most incredible feeling. I can
:07:22. > :07:26.never do that again. It makes sense that this is it. You have been a
:07:26. > :07:29.wonderful representative of British sport over so many years and we
:07:29. > :07:35.congratulate you on not just these Olympic Games but a truly
:07:35. > :07:41.remarkable career. Thank you. you for coming to doctors. You can
:07:41. > :07:45.get a bike now with brakes on. -- thank you for coming to talk to us.
:07:45. > :07:50.If any sport can compete with the likes of cycling or rowing for
:07:50. > :08:00.British success, it could be boxing with numerous medal prospects. One
:08:00. > :08:08.
:08:08. > :08:12.is that Fred Evans if he could see Evans' career. This is the first of
:08:12. > :08:21.three three-minute rounds. It is the quarter-final stage between the
:08:21. > :08:24.boxer wearing red, representing Canada, Custio Clayton. The boxer
:08:24. > :08:33.wearing blue represents Great Britain and that is Fred Evans from
:08:33. > :08:42.Wales. It will suit Evans if this fellow comes forward at him. That
:08:42. > :08:45.is the problem that a lot of He is an out and out counter-
:08:45. > :08:50.puncher on the back foot. He is very comfortable with people coming
:08:50. > :08:58.forward at him. He has good range and good vision and good timing as
:08:58. > :09:08.his opponents come forward. Watch out for his right hook. He has a
:09:08. > :09:09.
:09:09. > :09:14.very powerful right hook, has Fred Evans. Clayton just falling short.
:09:14. > :09:24.A good start from the man representing Great Britain. Clayton
:09:24. > :09:30.
:09:30. > :09:37.fell into the Rake's. -- the ropes. Evans really started brightly to
:09:37. > :09:44.begin this opening round. What he cannot afford to do is wait for too
:09:44. > :09:54.long. He has to trigger off his opponent's attack. He has to faint
:09:54. > :10:11.
:10:11. > :10:21.with the jab and may be the front boxers. Evans is the reigning
:10:21. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:35.European champion. He is the number two ranked boxer in the world. In
:10:35. > :10:46.
:10:46. > :10:52.the first-round he prevailed over number four seed from Lithuania.
:10:52. > :11:00.Evans had always -- already secured qualification for London 2012 and
:11:00. > :11:07.he stopped him during the contest so he overturned a significant one.
:11:07. > :11:17.The pace has suited him and he is controlling that pays. This has
:11:17. > :11:46.
:11:46. > :11:51.been a good round for Evans. He is jab. His coach was saying you have
:11:51. > :11:59.to be first and third. He wants Evans to start the attack, wait for
:11:59. > :12:03.the response and then go again. Basically, counter the counter. The
:12:03. > :12:11.first with the attack, the opponent will respond with the counter and
:12:11. > :12:21.then he will counter again. Simple instructions but the right ones.
:12:21. > :12:23.
:12:23. > :12:28.Into the second round we go. The boxer wearing red is operating out
:12:28. > :12:34.of the orthodox stance, Custio Clayton. The boxer wearing blue,
:12:34. > :12:44.operating out of the southpaw stance, is Fred Evans. He is
:12:44. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :13:00.leading by a score of seven. To two continually, he cannot close the
:13:00. > :13:08.distance as effectively as he would like. Clayton's problem is his feet
:13:08. > :13:14.are far too slow. If he has to have any success at all, he has got to
:13:14. > :13:19.close that gap. This is suiting Fred Evans down to the ground. He
:13:19. > :13:23.hits as hard with his right hand as he does with his left, it is a rare
:13:23. > :13:30.talent. He is natural and gifted and he has to use it to a good
:13:30. > :13:39.affect. Very gifted indeed, Fred Evans. He helped Carl French a few
:13:39. > :13:45.months ago. He is the world champion. He commented on the
:13:45. > :13:55.ability and strength that Fred Evans possesses. He really is a
:13:55. > :13:56.
:13:56. > :14:04.talented boxer. He takes a stiff shot from Clayton. Fred Evans is 21
:14:04. > :14:14.years old. He was inspired to get to this a Olympic stage by watching
:14:14. > :14:26.
:14:26. > :14:35.Amir Khan on the television. It is got to keep it going. Clayton has
:14:35. > :14:45.started to step on the gas. We saw Clayton do that brilliantly in his
:14:45. > :14:55.previous encounter when he fought Australia's Cameron Hammond. In the

:15:14. > :15:22.gear in the third round of his is really struggling with this
:15:22. > :15:28.style. It is a typical reaction from an orthodox. He is finding the
:15:29. > :15:38.range too difficult to land that shot. He really is struggling.
:15:39. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:46.has closed the gap. He has closed its to aid two point margin.

:16:01. > :16:07.corner. He had a lapse of concentration. Claydon did had his
:16:07. > :16:17.moments. He found the target. -- Clayton of full stump he did not
:16:17. > :16:19.
:16:19. > :16:26.adjust his feet. -- Clayton. He has had a rocket up the backside -
:16:26. > :16:36.Bevan's. He has to respond in the last round and up the tempo again.
:16:36. > :16:39.
:16:39. > :16:44.-- Evans. We move into the third and final round of the men's
:16:44. > :16:52.quarter-final. This is the final eight. If you make it through to
:16:52. > :16:59.the semi-finals, you will be guaranteed at least a bronze medal.
:16:59. > :17:04.They will both have their minds on top spot. Fred Evans representing
:17:04. > :17:11.Great Britain and Canada are represented by Custio Clayton,
:17:12. > :17:19.wearing red. Evans got through with a good left hand. He is beginning
:17:19. > :17:24.to warm up with his boxing. But good uppercut to end the exchange.
:17:24. > :17:32.It is important that Evans keeps that distance. He does not want to
:17:32. > :17:40.be boxing Clayton on the inside. That is better. Do not stand and
:17:40. > :17:46.Hoddle feet. Clayton working well on the body at close quarters.
:17:46. > :17:51.Evans missed with his -- his own left. He is being warned to keep
:17:51. > :18:01.the punches up by the referee. He was introduced to boxing at eight
:18:01. > :18:07.years old. He used to hang around the gymnasium, desperate to try the
:18:07. > :18:12.sport himself. His uncle saw immediately that he possess some
:18:13. > :18:19.talent. Now Clayton is representing his country as part of the three-
:18:19. > :18:26.strong boxing team. They are representing the maple leaf of
:18:26. > :18:32.Canada. Evans needs to work harder here. Just keep boxing at range.
:18:32. > :18:40.Just stay focused. Keep the Guard high-up was stuck look at the
:18:40. > :18:50.timing and get that right. -- high. Evans went along with his shot. It
:18:50. > :19:00.is a good left-right by Clayton. The crowd is beginning to raise its
:19:00. > :19:02.
:19:02. > :19:09.volume level to spur Evans along. Concentration is going to be
:19:09. > :19:16.absolutely crucial. Evans led by two coming into this final round.
:19:16. > :19:23.This round has been really keenly contested. Do you want to get on a
:19:23. > :19:30.podium? You have to work harder. Catch him as he comes in. Come on,
:19:30. > :19:37.work! Which boxer can find the moment of inspiration. Who will
:19:37. > :19:43.take inspiration from the crowd? Clayton is finishing strongly. He
:19:43. > :19:47.takes a good shot to the body. He did not work during that period the
:19:47. > :19:56.stub that was a really keenly fought encounter which will hang in
:19:56. > :20:01.the balance. -- that period. Custio Clayton is spent after returning to
:20:01. > :20:08.that corner. A place on the Olympic medal podium is what is at stake.
:20:08. > :20:18.They competed right until the final bell. That was a close round.
:20:18. > :20:19.
:20:19. > :20:26.Evans's lack a bit of urgency. -- Evans lacked a bit of urgency.

:20:36. > :20:38.
:20:38. > :20:43.hung on towards the end. He gets caught again. It will be close.
:20:43. > :20:53.There was a spring in the step of Custio Clayton as he returned to
:20:53. > :20:56.
:20:56. > :21:06.his red corner. Custio Clayton is already holding up his hand. Evans
:21:06. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:24.scores are level at 14 points apiece. Up the winner on countback,
:21:24. > :21:29.in the blue corner, at representing Great Britain, Fred Evans. Fred
:21:29. > :21:34.Evans from Wales has guaranteed himself and an Olympic medal after

:21:39. > :21:48.terrific final round was dug he overturned the two point deficit to
:21:48. > :21:52.turn it back at 14 points apiece. Evans is through to the final four.
:21:52. > :21:59.He has guaranteed himself and an Olympic medal will start Custio
:21:59. > :22:06.Clayton deserves a round of applause. -- Olympic medal. Fred
:22:06. > :22:12.Evans will stand up on top of the Olympic podium. He will become the
:22:12. > :22:22.first world boxer since Ralf Evans in Munich 1972 to secure off a
:22:22. > :22:27.Madog. -- Welsh boxer. There was absolutely nothing in it. No doubt
:22:27. > :22:34.about the man who has progressed through to the find of four. Fred
:22:34. > :22:40.Evans is through to the Olympic semi-final and a bronze medal.
:22:40. > :22:45.fantastic fight. You have moved into the semi-finals of the
:22:45. > :22:51.competition. Unbelievable! It is my dream come true to get a medal at
:22:51. > :22:55.the Olympic Games. Hopefully I can go one and change the colour of my
:22:55. > :23:04.medal. You went out there and made it look easy. That was tied in the
:23:04. > :23:11.end. I started of relief bust and piled on the pressure. He is a
:23:11. > :23:19.strong kit. -- started off really fast. What is it like to be part of
