:00:35. > :00:41.Hello, and welcome back to a glorious day at London 2012. Let us
:00:41. > :00:45.hope the golden glint can continue. We are concentrating on the 10
:00:45. > :00:49.kilometre or open water swim. Here is what else is coming up on the
:00:49. > :00:52.BBC. The Nicola Adams takes on world
:00:52. > :00:57.champion Ran Cancan in the final of the women's flyweight division at
:00:57. > :01:00.4.30pm. After that, Ireland's golden girl
:01:00. > :01:09.Katie Taylor fights to add the Olympic title to the World
:01:09. > :01:13.Championship she won in May. She fights at 4.45pm.
:01:13. > :01:22.The stadium will go silent at five to nine tonight as Usain Bolt looks
:01:22. > :01:32.to retain his 200 metres crown. And, new world record holder Ashton
:01:32. > :01:39.
:01:39. > :01:49.Eaton finishes off his decathlon at Sum taekwondo quarter-final news,
:01:49. > :01:51.
:01:51. > :02:01.Jade Jones will be fighting at 3:30pm. Straight after that, Martin
:02:01. > :02:02.
:02:02. > :02:06.Stamper will be on. Keri-Anne has got off to a great
:02:06. > :02:10.start in the 10km swim Open swim. Let us see how the Beijing silver-
:02:10. > :02:18.medallist is getting on in the Serpentine, in Hyde Park. Clare
:02:18. > :02:21.Balding, we were talking about her plan. That it might not be going
:02:21. > :02:27.the way she would have wanted, she would want to be further ahead of
:02:27. > :02:37.the field, are you sense in that? They have just completed half the
:02:37. > :02:38.
:02:38. > :02:45.race. Keri-Anne is in 4th place. Risztov has broken away. David, we
:02:45. > :02:49.saw Risztov, turned on her back, to have a look. The halfway point is
:02:49. > :02:59.where things start to move around. Risztov made a break. She wanted to
:02:59. > :03:02.see who went with her. The top four. Keri-Anne in the first two laps,
:03:02. > :03:09.was in the top three. She is in a pack which is where she doesn't
:03:09. > :03:16.want to be. There is one hour to go. It is early days to stop worrying.
:03:16. > :03:22.We have seen her take on food. Later than anyone else. Are you
:03:22. > :03:28.happy enough? There is a long way to go. It is OK saying, I want to
:03:28. > :03:37.be at the front. If the pace is too fast, you need energy. You need a
:03:37. > :03:42.massive sprint at the end. Keri- Anne knows what pace she can go out.
:03:42. > :03:52.So, her own personal pacing is more important than where she physically
:03:52. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :04:02.is? Absolutely, these dolls might be holding it too hard. -- these
:04:02. > :04:04.
:04:04. > :04:08.girls. You have to be able to adapt in open water.
:04:08. > :04:18.Let us hand over to our commentators for the rest of the
:04:18. > :04:23.
:04:23. > :04:28.the righthand side. Beautiful, clean water. It should really
:04:28. > :04:34.favour the pool swimmers. Strangely, they decided to have the second
:04:34. > :04:41.qualification for this Olympic Games, in Portugal, in the ocean.
:04:41. > :04:48.It was very wavy. Why you would have a wavy qualification is
:04:48. > :04:58.strange. Over half way now. Great Britain's Keri-Anne Payne, has
:04:58. > :05:01.
:05:01. > :05:05.slipped back. Leading his Risztov. Grimaldi from Italy. Silver medal
:05:05. > :05:11.in the egon championships in Shanghai last year. Risztov tried
:05:11. > :05:17.to break them. He she is going tight on the line, aiming for the
:05:17. > :05:24.buoy. The pack his way over. It has been taken over to the right.
:05:25. > :05:34.Risztov, and second place will be Anderson. For the rest of them, it
:05:35. > :05:36.
:05:36. > :05:43.will not be easy. If you going, in a bunch, you end up being split out.
:05:43. > :05:52.If there are two metres, per-person, but in a bunch, you can be even 20
:05:52. > :06:02.metres behind, very quickly. Just by going around one of those buoys
:06:02. > :06:20.
:06:20. > :06:29.somebody putting a shot of gel into their mouth, for high energy. Not
:06:29. > :06:38.wasting too much. There is the British flag, Keri-
:06:38. > :06:48.Anne would have taken a feed. The Hong Kong swimmer, born in London,
:06:48. > :06:52.
:06:52. > :07:00.Tang. She was 12th in the qualifying for this. Anderson,
:07:00. > :07:10.every time we see her, she makes a quantum leap in has whirring. And
:07:10. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds
:07:55. > :07:59.the Spaniard, with a long and are starting to bunch up again.
:07:59. > :08:06.Moving all over the place. Keri- Anne is staying out of the big
:08:06. > :08:12.bunch. She doesn't like it in there. She doesn't really like it, she
:08:13. > :08:20.likes it on the outside. The group is still so together. There is only
:08:20. > :08:25.one that swimmer not in doubt shop, the south African. Roux. But, the
:08:25. > :08:31.rest of the field, are within, you would say, 20 seconds of each other.
:08:31. > :08:38.After nearly one hour and 10 minutes. So, a very tight field. It
:08:38. > :08:47.will favour the fast finishers. Interestingly, open water swimmers
:08:47. > :08:57.do work on the big kick. Can you create a momentum to catch people
:08:57. > :09:06.
:09:06. > :09:16.out, in the last 500m. The Czechoslovakia and -- summer her.
:09:16. > :09:34.
:09:34. > :09:39.very popular indeed. Keri-Anne Payne of Great Britain, still in
:09:39. > :09:48.that leading five. This is not normally how she swims it, she
:09:48. > :09:55.likes to be at the front, driving the pace, to have everybody break,
:09:55. > :10:01.leaving only a few in the leading group. She looks fairly comfortable
:10:02. > :10:11.at the moment. But, a different way of doing it. Probably 50 minutes to
:10:12. > :10:17.
:10:17. > :10:22.go in this Olympic women's 10,000 I have banished to persuade some of
:10:22. > :10:26.Keri-Anne's team-mate to join me. How beautiful London looks. The two
:10:26. > :10:34.spectacular, everything about every single venue we have seen has been
:10:34. > :10:38.fantastic. We were on the London Eye, and saw the beach volleyball.
:10:38. > :10:43.Everyone can see how beautiful London is. We this upsetting in
:10:43. > :10:48.Hyde Park. It is perfect for open water swimming. You can see the
:10:48. > :10:54.crowds enjoying this fantastic event. It shows you how green
:10:54. > :10:59.London is when you look around this park. It is fantastic. Keri-Anne is
:10:59. > :11:03.doing a great swimmer, hopefully she can get onto the podium.
:11:03. > :11:09.both came into this Olympic Games saying you were ready to retire.
:11:09. > :11:15.Have you both changed your mind? am going to take a big break, but
:11:15. > :11:21.this whole experience, the way the British crowd got behind us. It has
:11:21. > :11:27.made me reconsider quitting. Exactly the same. This was it for
:11:27. > :11:33.me. I was so happy to make the team in a home Olympics. Just walking
:11:33. > :11:39.out in front of 17,000 people. The noise hit you like a brick wall.
:11:39. > :11:45.You had to smile. I want to expense that again. We have the
:11:45. > :11:48.Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in two years. Again, the door is open.
:11:48. > :11:58.These Olympics have not just inspired spectators to take up
:11:58. > :12:06.
:12:06. > :12:15.sport, but have inspired the I have had 6 million tweets! I know
:12:15. > :12:25.from the smog sound of your voice that you have identified that bird
:12:25. > :12:25.
:12:25. > :12:35.correctly as a coot. Thank you, to Stanley, for taking the bird-
:12:35. > :12:39.
:12:39. > :12:49.watching as a child. It has a white bill, a coot. A more hen has read
:12:49. > :12:53.
:12:53. > :13:00.on it speak -- a moorhen has red on its beak. For Anderson, taking a
:13:00. > :13:10.drink. The Argentinian us, now -- swimmer
:13:10. > :13:28.
:13:28. > :13:36.cafe. -- pontoon. Where the soaring club is based, started in 1930. --
:13:37. > :13:46.the swimming club. There is a Christmas Day race. It is called,
:13:47. > :14:11.
:14:11. > :14:17.buoy. I think she was trying to turn around. They have been
:14:17. > :14:27.swimming in this serpentine for about 150 years. A beautiful
:14:27. > :14:59.
:14:59. > :15:08.clubhouse. Started in 1864. Turkey to visit his love, and round.
:15:08. > :15:12.That was the original club. They used to have a uniform. The first
:15:12. > :15:22.few Olympics were held, the swimming events were held in open
:15:22. > :15:23.
:15:23. > :15:28.water because there were no a nice, calm piece of the sea in
:15:28. > :15:36.Greece. They had shocking weather and ended up having 12 ft waves. It
:15:36. > :15:44.was ridiculous. The water was freezing. How cold was it?
:15:44. > :15:53.degrees. It is about 19 to 20 now. No and there is the bridge that
:15:53. > :16:03.separates the Serpentine in long water Kensington Gardens.
:16:03. > :16:16.
:16:16. > :16:21.bridge was built by John Rennie. When? In the 1820s. A lot of
:16:21. > :16:28.spectators are on the bridge. is the bridge and that is Eva
:16:28. > :16:33.Risztov leading a game. She keeps making these moves. As long as she
:16:33. > :16:40.allows them to keep with her, she were used up more energy than she
:16:40. > :16:45.needs to. They are starting to string out. Look at the pack. It is
:16:45. > :16:49.probably only three deep at best now. He is in there? Hayley
:16:49. > :16:56.Anderson has been very well placed all the way through. She is
:16:56. > :17:06.tracking the leaders. I think she will use the strategy from the
:17:06. > :17:17.
:17:17. > :17:22.pace is starting to tell on a number of the swimmers. You cannot
:17:22. > :17:30.swim this length of raised without it wearing you down a little bit.
:17:30. > :17:36.They are picking up the pace, but more they are holding the pace.
:17:36. > :17:40.Keri-Anne said it is like a war of attrition. The tactic is to get out,
:17:40. > :17:46.break the field so they are as few swimmers in the sprints at the end
:17:46. > :17:51.as possible. You don't want any fast swimming pool swimmers at the
:17:51. > :18:01.end any you, unless here you are one of them. Eva Risztov has a good
:18:01. > :18:02.
:18:02. > :18:08.sprinter. She used to swim the 400 and 800 in the pool. 16th in the
:18:08. > :18:17.world at the Olympics. Hayley Anderson was third in the American
:18:17. > :18:27.trials. It was clearly focusing on this particular race, the open
:18:27. > :18:32.
:18:32. > :18:39.water swim. Somebody taking gel? Unless she still has it in her hand,
:18:39. > :18:45.she has thrown it. She obviously couldn't get the top of it and
:18:45. > :18:54.thought it would take too much effort. They usually have two or
:18:54. > :19:02.three out there. We will get a split time in a second. Eva Risztov
:19:02. > :19:12.leading. Hayley Anderson maybe of the USA just about in second place.
:19:12. > :19:18.It is not particularly easy to tell. Keri-Anne is in there, but in the
:19:18. > :19:28.pack. It is not her usual place. She is usually in clear water and
:19:28. > :19:36.
:19:36. > :19:43.It is OK, but it is right in the pack we did not expect her to be in.
:19:43. > :19:46.Two laps to go. It is a bit worrying for me. Nishi is obviously
:19:46. > :19:53.finding this pace difficult, she would normally be at the front of
:19:53. > :20:01.it. Really, the hope is that she can get to be what will be a
:20:01. > :20:05.smaller break out group, as it gets to maybe the last lap. I think
:20:05. > :20:11.Keri-Anne would like to be in the first three or four. I imagine they
:20:11. > :20:20.would break out but there are some strong swimmers. If you have Hayley
:20:20. > :20:30.Anderson in there, Eva Risztov, they have a very good turn of speed
:20:30. > :20:41.
:20:41. > :20:49.will stop Melissa Gorman is still Risztov is still pushing the pace.
:20:49. > :20:56.Keri-Anne is down to the back right, going through your shot. What have
:20:56. > :21:01.we got in the picture. Jessica Roux is stopping. Maybe having a
:21:01. > :21:07.conversation about it whether she can carry on. She has been at the
:21:07. > :21:16.back of the field by a good minute, she has been struggling. Not sure
:21:16. > :21:26.if she will carry on. She hasn't actually come into view at the
:21:26. > :21:28.
:21:28. > :21:38.moment. Still at the front, Eva Risztov. Keri-Anne is still OK, she
:21:38. > :21:39.
:21:39. > :21:45.is still in there. Eva Risztov of hungry, she looks comfortable.
:21:45. > :21:55.Martina Grimaldi is in there, Hayley Anderson is in there. Angela
:21:55. > :21:57.
:21:57. > :22:03.Maurer, very good finishers. That is the pack, the three following.
:22:04. > :22:08.That was a good example, Martina Grimaldi just ahead. The other two
:22:08. > :22:15.in their Super tight. Melissa Gorman has the green strap on her
:22:15. > :22:23.goggles. Keri-Anne is there with Melissa Gorman, so she is in a good
:22:23. > :22:29.position. No. 19, Natalia Charlos of Poland having a great swim. Just
:22:29. > :22:39.off the pace, if she can get back on... And she has got out, Jessica
:22:39. > :22:39.
:22:39. > :22:46.Roux from South Africa, it is sad. Probably about a quarter of the
:22:46. > :22:52.race still to go. A rescue going on at the moment. Jessica Roux being
:22:52. > :22:56.taken out, under a bit of distress. The actual race itself, and that
:22:57. > :23:02.was the South African coach. Eva Risztov looking comfortable. There
:23:02. > :23:09.is still about another 40 minutes to go to. Still a decent time to go,
:23:10. > :23:14.but tactics will be different. What are you thinking David Davis?
:23:14. > :23:19.Eva Risztov has and made a decisive break. She is feeling strong so
:23:19. > :23:24.that she has decided to go to the front. I don't think it is a
:23:24. > :23:31.decisive break, there is still a long way to go. Keri-Anne is in 5th,
:23:31. > :23:36.six, and there is no need to panic. I think if they stay in this
:23:36. > :23:41.capacity at the moment, it will come down to a sprint finish. Eva
:23:41. > :23:48.Risztov is a good 400m runner, Keri-Anne will need her finishing
:23:48. > :23:53.skills at the end. She just has to stick in there, stick to her rhythm.
:23:53. > :23:59.I am sure the next two laps will start heating up. When would you
:23:59. > :24:04.think they should make a move? How many minutes from the end do they
:24:04. > :24:09.start to try and break it? In the men's race, you normally see a fat
:24:09. > :24:18.start, getting into position. The winner will always be in the top
:24:18. > :24:23.six. The last lap, things will change. The last 1,200 metres will
:24:23. > :24:28.be fought to the floor, really going for it, fast swimming and who
:24:28. > :24:32.is the strongest at the end. The final turn of each lap is where we
:24:32. > :24:38.have seen the most incidents, yellow-card, people swimming over
:24:38. > :24:43.other people. People coming out of the turn in the wrong life. That is
:24:43. > :24:48.close to the finish line, so the last turn, people will want to be
:24:48. > :24:52.at the front and if you are not, it will be difficult to get there. So
:24:52. > :25:02.woefully, before the final turn, Keri-Anne will have a clear run
:25:02. > :25:04.
:25:05. > :25:13.into the final finish. There is Marianna Lymperta from Greece,
:25:13. > :25:20.having a good look to where she is going. I think it is still Eva
:25:20. > :25:30.Risztov leading. This pack is so tight. John Pechanova from the
:25:30. > :25:30.
:25:30. > :25:40.Czech Republic. Also going well and continuing well is Yumi Kida from
:25:40. > :25:45.Japan. It looks like Eva Risztov is starting to put the hammer down.
:25:45. > :25:49.She didn't qualify from the World Championships. The top 10 from the
:25:49. > :25:53.World Championships in Shanghai qualified automatically for this
:25:53. > :26:03.Olympic race. She was disqualified there so she had to go to Portugal
:26:03. > :26:04.
:26:04. > :26:10.to qualify. I think she came second in Portugal? She did, Hayley
:26:10. > :26:17.Anderson won it. Be seen to always come, the winner from the top five
:26:17. > :26:27.or six. For Keri-Anne to still be in the top six, I suggest it is the
:26:27. > :26:29.
:26:29. > :26:39.grid before the orange cap. I think that it might be Marianna Lymperta
:26:39. > :26:48.
:26:48. > :26:58.at the back. Also, Martina Grimaldi of Italy, European champion in the
:26:58. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:11.10,000m open water. Marianna Lymperta got the bronze. Marianna
:27:11. > :27:13.
:27:13. > :27:18.Lymperta was the one who could cope with the temperature, 14 degrees.
:27:18. > :27:28.That is the one Keri-Anne did not swim in. Of all the people in the
:27:28. > :27:34.
:27:35. > :27:40.pack, apart from Marianna Lymperta who has fallen off, Hayley Anderson,
:27:40. > :27:46.they are all in there. Eva Risztov, going to her left and then her
:27:46. > :27:54.right. We had a chat about doing bilateral breathing, wants to the
:27:54. > :28:00.left and one to the right. She is doing two to the left. And then
:28:00. > :28:06.bilateral over to her right. Every single stroke gives you a little
:28:06. > :28:10.bit more her. All three of them are breathing to boats sides. Keri-Anne
:28:10. > :28:20.going through the shot. She is keeping pace with Hayley Anderson,
:28:20. > :28:25.
:28:25. > :28:33.number 13. Melissa Gorman is slipping back a bit. That is the
:28:33. > :28:40.South African getting out, just keeping how warm. That is Poliana
:28:41. > :28:46.Okimoto of Brazil. Talking about the test events last year, she got
:28:46. > :28:51.a bronze. I don't think she was in good shape mentally coming into
:28:51. > :29:01.this. Someone has gone way off in the middle of the pack. Very
:29:01. > :29:07.strange indeed. Five swimmers at the top of your picture, Martina
:29:07. > :29:14.Grimaldi. Hayley Anderson as well in the second pack. Then right next
:29:14. > :29:21.to each other, Keri-Anne Payne in the blue cap. Keri-Anne is tracking
:29:21. > :29:24.the feat of the swimmer in front of her. That will give her more
:29:24. > :29:34.efficiency and the work Eva Risztov is doing at the front is quite
:29:34. > :29:47.
:29:47. > :29:56.considerable. There is David Cameron. David Carey, and Keri-Anne
:29:56. > :30:06.Payne are getting married on 15th September. Not long to go. What a
:30:06. > :30:08.
:30:08. > :30:16.great swimmer David Carey had on the free -- 400m freestyle. We have
:30:16. > :30:26.150, maybe 200m to the next feeding station. About half-an-hour left.
:30:26. > :30:37.
:30:37. > :30:43.Three-quarters of the race gone. you are very close, it is not a
:30:43. > :30:46.great place to be, but there is some good drafting. It is a very
:30:46. > :30:53.interesting, this field has been like this for a couple of minutes,
:30:53. > :31:02.they seemed content to stay in this place, that leading group. The
:31:02. > :31:12.crowds are outstanding. To the right, the shot of the cafe. The
:31:12. > :31:34.
:31:34. > :31:44.contingent, the Hungarian flags, waving wildly. As a very large
:31:44. > :31:52.heron flies through the finishing line, the swimmers have 50m to go
:31:52. > :31:57.to the feeding station. David, tactics coming in here? It will be
:31:57. > :32:03.interesting to see if Keri-Anne stops. This is why you need to get
:32:03. > :32:08.the energy. For that difficult final lap. Before the race starts,
:32:08. > :32:17.the people who have been assigned to go on to the feeding station
:32:17. > :32:25.have to organise who will go where. Today, we have Russell Perry. He
:32:25. > :32:31.likes to get onto the end of the pontoon, heat is in a red shirt.
:32:31. > :32:38.The best position. You don't have to worry about stopping, you can
:32:38. > :32:44.get your drink or gel, and move quickly. Mark always makes a
:32:44. > :32:54.conscious effort to get there. I have not seen if Keri-Anne has gone
:32:54. > :32:57.
:32:57. > :33:06.in, on this flap. It didn't look like she did come in. He has done a
:33:06. > :33:11.super job with open water scoring - - swimming, in Britain. David, one
:33:11. > :33:15.of the few in the world who has made a success at pool serene and
:33:15. > :33:21.open water swimming. Stepping up, in Beijing, very nearly won that
:33:21. > :33:28.race, a silver medal. Unfortunately right at the end, went slightly off
:33:28. > :33:35.course. I'm sure he won't mind me saying so, he doesn't need
:33:35. > :33:41.reminding. Very close indeed, a great race. Britain's best male
:33:41. > :33:48.open water swimmer. And, we're watching Britain's best ever female
:33:48. > :33:56.open water summer, the world champion from 2011 and 2009. She is
:33:57. > :34:00.still in a decent position, in 4th or 5th. There is a gap opening.
:34:00. > :34:07.Keri-Anne is saying that leading group, a useful place to be. There
:34:07. > :34:16.are five of them. I wouldn't be surprised if that breakaway keeps
:34:16. > :34:22.on going for the rest of the race. If that five of can become four,
:34:22. > :34:32.and then three, obviously in the sprint you would like to win it,
:34:32. > :34:42.but that is a top tick -- a tactic Keri-Anne would like to aim for.
:34:42. > :34:44.
:34:44. > :34:52.Risztov of Hungary has gone very hard indeed. The crowd is wonderful,
:34:52. > :35:00.it is like a fish bowl. It is very accessible for everyone to see
:35:00. > :35:10.every part of the sport. A narrow lake. About five deep, as we saw
:35:10. > :35:12.
:35:12. > :35:22.for the triathlon. That is Lymperta of Greece, she pours it in. Not the
:35:22. > :35:24.
:35:24. > :35:32.most graceful but it seems to work. Those little plastic cups. That is
:35:32. > :35:42.nonsense, like a bad night at a nightclub. Remind me not to go up
:35:42. > :35:46.
:35:46. > :35:54.with you! That is not easy. Why on earth they don't have a squeezy
:35:54. > :36:03.bottle. Normally like clockwork in Switzerland. Very strange indeed.
:36:03. > :36:08.It is stringing out. This is getting quite significant. There is
:36:09. > :36:16.a significant break between the first and second group. Some
:36:16. > :36:25.swimmers suffering from the pace. At the top, five summers macro,
:36:25. > :36:35.Keri-Anne is in that. Risztov has done all of the work. -- five
:36:35. > :36:40.
:36:40. > :36:50.Anne Payne is in that group of five or six. It will be interesting to
:36:50. > :36:55.
:36:55. > :36:59.Just discussing whether you have ever done this kind of swimming?
:37:00. > :37:04.have done a mile, but being a two hundred metres specialist, that was
:37:05. > :37:11.enough for me. Keri-Anne is doing great, we are coming into the final
:37:11. > :37:21.lap, it is exciting. I am impressed with the outfit! The full support
:37:21. > :37:22.
:37:23. > :37:27.kit. We are so excited to be here, cheering on Keri-Anne. We are
:37:27. > :37:34.excited she is in the final lap, we are all cheering for her. How tough
:37:34. > :37:39.is it, watching a race of this length develop? None of us can
:37:39. > :37:44.imagine the tactics that go into this. Compared to what these guys
:37:44. > :37:51.are doing in the Serpentine today. So many different conditions have
:37:51. > :37:56.to consider. Tactical things to think about. A tough thing to do.
:37:56. > :38:01.Getting it right, with taking on food and liquid. You see some of
:38:01. > :38:07.the athletes stopping, it costs valuable seconds. A lot of tactics
:38:07. > :38:17.involved. Do stop or do you not? They are coming into the last lap
:38:17. > :38:24.
:38:24. > :38:31.now. And your tactics are to shout course, they need to come over a
:38:31. > :38:38.little to the left. Risztov of Hungary is still leading. She has
:38:38. > :38:48.worked very hard indeed. 15 metres to go, to the final lap time that
:38:48. > :38:48.
:38:48. > :38:58.we will get. So we can see closer to us the finishing area. They will
:38:58. > :39:05.go under that timing pad. Anderson is third. In 4th, it looks like
:39:05. > :39:09.Maurer. Keri-Anne Payne is just in 5th at the moment. Is there a break
:39:09. > :39:15.going on again? Risztov and Grimaldi started to make a break
:39:15. > :39:21.again. This is starting to look a bit ominous. 1,600 metres to go.
:39:21. > :39:31.Pretty much one mile to go. It looks like a little break away.
:39:31. > :39:35.
:39:35. > :39:44.are right, Andy. Keri-Anne isn't in the group of three. -- is in the
:39:44. > :39:49.group of three. As they came past, there was a
:39:49. > :39:57.noticeable increase in at the stroke rate. They thought, if we
:39:57. > :40:04.break them now, we are in with the medals. Saying the arch, for the
:40:04. > :40:09.final lap, was a massive mental boost. Not long to go now. Paul
:40:09. > :40:15.Keri-Anne has to do is to stick with them. It will be really
:40:15. > :40:21.difficult. Do not get dropped by the front two. It is the worst
:40:21. > :40:25.feeling in the world when you lose that front pack. Thanks, David. It
:40:25. > :40:34.looks like they are working hard to get back in touch. Keri-Anne Payne,
:40:34. > :40:39.in the centre of those three in the chasing group. Risztov, Grimaldi.
:40:39. > :40:49.Keri-Anne cannot see three, in the middle. She doesn't like being
:40:49. > :40:55.stuck in the middle. That is the back marker. Three, chasing those
:40:55. > :41:01.two leaders, Keri-Anne it in the centre. Risztov has been
:41:01. > :41:11.thereabouts for the whole race. Just behind her, that is Grimaldi.
:41:11. > :41:20.She has moved through the field. She started slowly, but has paced
:41:20. > :41:25.it -- paced it. I think those three will hopefully
:41:25. > :41:35.make a gap. One of them will have to make an effort to bridge that
:41:35. > :41:35.
:41:35. > :41:43.gap. If not, it will be difficult. What you don't want it is a gold
:41:44. > :41:49.and silver medal race, then three people racing for bronze medal. It
:41:50. > :41:59.looks like Keri-Anne it is going to Anderson's feet. It looks like the
:41:59. > :42:07.Gap is starting to narrow. Anderson, only 20, the American, the only
:42:07. > :42:13.American qualifier. Now they are strung out, Anderson has caught up
:42:13. > :42:18.on to the feet of Grimaldi. Maurer is third, she has caught up. A lot
:42:18. > :42:23.of work still to go, well over 1,000m to go. He that was
:42:23. > :42:30.significant, Maurer looking and realising she did not want that
:42:31. > :42:40.pair to get away from her. She is trying to get back on to the feet.
:42:41. > :42:42.
:42:42. > :42:52.Keri-Anne is struggling to the far left of the shot. This is not a
:42:52. > :42:57.
:42:57. > :43:02.turn. Just a line marker. That is Pechanova. Gorman closer to us.
:43:02. > :43:12.Pechanova of the Czech Republic, it looks like they've had been dropped,
:43:12. > :43:14.
:43:14. > :43:17.in the chasing pack. -- they've been dropped.
:43:17. > :43:25.A gruelling race, this is only the second hand this event has been
:43:25. > :43:35.held at the Olympic Games. In Beijing, we did very well, silver
:43:35. > :43:35.
:43:35. > :43:45.for Keri-Anne Payne. And bronze for Cassie Patten. All medals won by
:43:45. > :43:50.European countries. It looks like Maurer, Germany, in that pack with
:43:50. > :43:56.Keri-Anne. They all seem to be going that way. Anderson, as you
:43:56. > :44:03.mentioned, still dangerous. They are stringing out a little bit more.
:44:03. > :44:11.Risztov in front. Grimaldi and Maurer together. Anderson and Keri-
:44:11. > :44:16.Anne Payne behind. You have to give credit to this swimmer, Risztov.
:44:16. > :44:20.She has been on the front of this group all the way, setting the pace.
:44:20. > :44:30.She has a strong finish. She certainly deserves a medal, the way
:44:30. > :44:47.
:44:47. > :44:57.she is swimming. Hard to see too the group of five. A little bit
:44:57. > :45:19.
:45:19. > :45:29.worrying. They are in a bit of a go. They cannot go the wrong side
:45:29. > :45:34.
:45:35. > :45:40.of this buoy. 50 seconds to the chasing pack. Eva Risztov still
:45:40. > :45:50.looking good. Quite a few of the chasing pack are very good swimming
:45:50. > :45:50.
:45:51. > :45:55.pool swimmers. It does look very smooth indeed. Eva Risztov is a
:45:55. > :46:01.very good swimming-pools swimmer. 400 freestyle in the European
:46:01. > :46:07.Championships this year, she is probably one of the better
:46:07. > :46:14.sprinters. Keri-Anne Payne is an slow either. You have Angela Maurer
:46:14. > :46:22.who is a slow one. She will want to be further ahead. She got the world
:46:22. > :46:29.Championship bronze and silver in the 25 kilometres. She won't enjoy
:46:29. > :46:35.the sprints as much as the rest. Martina Grimaldi is they distance
:46:35. > :46:41.summer. So those two not as comfortable with sprint. It is Ceri
:46:41. > :46:50.and Anderson and Eva Risztov are the ones who sprint. Eva Risztov
:46:50. > :46:56.has gone out. She probably has about 1350 metres to go. Keri-Anne
:46:56. > :47:04.Payne in the second group chasing. David, it looks as if Eva Risztov
:47:04. > :47:09.has gone early, has she gone too early? It is going to be too much
:47:09. > :47:15.to get back. She has been looking good right through the race and
:47:15. > :47:20.still felt she could have this extra speed. Their legs are kicking
:47:20. > :47:26.now, their arms are turning over quicker. I bet they are really
:47:26. > :47:30.hurting. My hate this feeling, you have been working so hard for
:47:30. > :47:36.nearly two hours and you still have this spring's at the end. The lead
:47:36. > :47:41.is about three metres. Keri-Anne is still working hard and hanging on
:47:41. > :47:46.and hopefully she can find something at the end. Eva Risztov
:47:46. > :47:52.is looking good. It is dangerous, the pack behind are dropped. They
:47:52. > :47:56.are quite a way behind. The medals will go to the five swimmers at the
:47:56. > :48:04.front and that has been the case for the last 20 minutes. Eva
:48:04. > :48:14.Risztov in the front. Keri-Anne Payne in the blue cap, easy to spot.
:48:14. > :48:16.
:48:16. > :48:26.Eva Risztov is more determined and powerful. That is not Eva Risztov.
:48:26. > :48:36.Eva Risztov is breathing up bilaterally. There are number of
:48:36. > :48:36.
:48:36. > :48:46.sprinters in that group. I think Keri-Anne will hear the crowd
:48:46. > :48:57.
:48:57. > :49:02.screaming from the side of the leg. all the way round. It is what Keri-
:49:02. > :49:08.Anne's plan was going to be. I doubt and they will take any fluids
:49:08. > :49:18.on at the feeding station there. Eva Risztov has gone off. In the
:49:18. > :49:19.
:49:19. > :49:24.chasing group is Keri-Anne Payne. Hayley Anderson has a very good
:49:24. > :49:30.sprinter. Angela Maurer maybe is the weakest sprinter out of them.
:49:30. > :49:40.They are going past one of the biggest crime groups. They are 10
:49:40. > :49:46.to 15 deeps in those places. It is fantastic to see the support Keri-
:49:46. > :49:52.Anne has got. They need every cheer from every person in the group.
:49:52. > :49:56.Mick you are at home watching on TV, we need you shouting as well. I
:49:56. > :50:06.can't imagine she is blowing the pacing on this. It is something you
:50:06. > :50:15.are worth of. She won't have walked it too much. A second per 100 is
:50:15. > :50:21.still quite a long way. They can only see a to their elbow. They
:50:21. > :50:28.will have to look a but the water to see that Eva Risztov has got
:50:28. > :50:38.about, I don't know, it is shorter, are they catching her up? He looks
:50:38. > :50:40.
:50:40. > :50:45.like Angela Maurer and Martina Grimaldi, Keri-Anne Payne still
:50:45. > :50:52.hanging in with Hayley Anderson of the USA. This is going to be so
:50:53. > :50:59.hard. Eva Risztov seems to be holding the break, if not extending
:50:59. > :51:09.it. Nku Carey Anderson is trying to move right and increase her pace.
:51:09. > :51:22.
:51:22. > :51:32.She is at the back right of those crowd are shouting across the
:51:32. > :51:35.
:51:35. > :51:41.Serpentine. It is amazing. They are about 15 to 20 metres away, no
:51:41. > :51:51.feeding at this point. Just coaches urging them on, waving and
:51:51. > :51:55.screaming. Trying to get that last bit of energy from the swimmers.
:51:55. > :52:02.The Serpentine clubhouse is beautiful. Eva Risztov is still
:52:02. > :52:12.leading and it is still about seven to eight metres now. The chasing
:52:12. > :52:13.
:52:13. > :52:23.pack are coming back, so there is the Serpentine Swimming Club. The
:52:23. > :52:37.
:52:37. > :52:42.chasing pack of Angela Maurer and is. They are still behind. Eva
:52:42. > :52:52.Risztov is going to lead and it will be difficult to break down.
:52:52. > :53:02.
:53:02. > :53:12.Then they are trying, as they would Anderson, left, Keri-Anne Payne
:53:12. > :53:17.
:53:18. > :53:27.behind her. Then you have Martina Grimaldi. Eva Risztov is going away.
:53:27. > :53:32.But the chasing pack are starting to go. I think that is Martina
:53:32. > :53:42.Grimaldi on the left of those two chasing. Keri-Anne Payne is hanging
:53:42. > :53:49.
:53:49. > :53:54.in. Those on the leaders. Stay on the leading pack for goodness sake!
:53:54. > :53:59.I think Eva Risztov made a move and the pack were deciding there was
:53:59. > :54:06.some energy left. If there is any energy left to go, now is the time
:54:06. > :54:14.for its. You have Eva Risztov and somebody has made a break. Get your
:54:14. > :54:22.binoculars out. We are behind the tree, they are not those types of
:54:22. > :54:32.binoculars! If Eva Risztov has given everything she had, it will
:54:32. > :54:34.
:54:34. > :54:40.be difficult to hold off the sprint at the end. Coming round now. David
:54:40. > :54:46.Davis, not too long to go, maybe six or seven minutes? Is Eva
:54:46. > :54:51.Risztov being caught? She is being closed down. If they get round
:54:51. > :54:57.these in what order they are, they could be the final positions. It is
:54:57. > :55:01.so difficult to get past a swimmer once they are in front abuse. Keri-
:55:01. > :55:05.Anne made a move to go to the right of her to get past. It's utterly
:55:05. > :55:10.now she can get in the medal positions. She does have some work
:55:10. > :55:17.to do, but they are catching Eva Risztov. I wonder if she went too
:55:17. > :55:23.early? Angela Maurer of Germany, the 37-year-old, she is good but
:55:23. > :55:27.more of the distance when that. Martina Grimaldi of Italy, was some
:55:27. > :55:36.the Met -- silver-medallist at the World Championships. This is
:55:36. > :55:46.getting close. Keri-Anne still there. She is coming to the right.
:55:46. > :55:46.
:55:46. > :55:52.She is in fourth place. Trying to get onto the feet. Eva Risztov is
:55:52. > :56:02.struggling with heavy arms. They are coming to the last. It has been
:56:02. > :56:02.
:56:02. > :56:09.a very fast race. The last 500m, maximum? This is going to be very
:56:09. > :56:13.tight. I think maybe Eva Risztov has gone off a little bit too quick.
:56:13. > :56:20.Keri-Anne Payne in 4th at the moment. Come on Keri-Anne! You can
:56:20. > :56:26.see her in 4th position. She has a lot of work to do, she does have a
:56:26. > :56:31.good sprint. They are chasing Eva Risztov very hard. Still a little
:56:31. > :56:36.bit too far away for us to seek. And they really are working very
:56:36. > :56:44.hard. It looks like she has been caught. Eva Risztov looks like she
:56:44. > :56:52.will be caught. Keri-Anne is in 4th position. He is that? It is Hayley
:56:52. > :56:56.Anderson. My she has a great sprinter at the end. The American
:56:56. > :57:04.going what's happened to Rebecca Adlington so. I don't think Eva
:57:04. > :57:14.Risztov can hold this now. Coming into the final. That is to the
:57:14. > :57:24.finish, we are no early there. I think Keri-Anne is fighting for the
:57:24. > :57:25.
:57:26. > :57:30.bronze. I think the gold medal has got away from her. With about 30
:57:30. > :57:35.metres to go, Eva Risztov in the black hat has led all the way, but
:57:35. > :57:45.it looks like Hayley Anderson Thom the USA will take it. It is really
:57:45. > :57:46.
:57:46. > :57:52.close. Still, it looks like Keri- Anne Payne in 4th. But Eva Risztov,
:57:52. > :57:59.has led all the way. You have to touch this bought a bug the head.
:57:59. > :58:07.She gets the gold. The silver has gone to the USA. The bronze medal
:58:07. > :58:13.has gone to Martina Ramadi of Italy. Keri-Anne just behind in the fourth
:58:13. > :58:18.positions. -- Martina Grimaldi. It is so close, but the gold medal and
:58:18. > :58:25.deservedly, to Eva Risztov of Hungary. Did all the work. She is
:58:25. > :58:31.out already. How did she make all that effort and go and so quickly?
:58:31. > :58:39.Leading all of the way. I am amazed she can walk, Andrew. Keri-Anne
:58:39. > :58:49.just out of the medals in fourth place. Anderson, the young American,
:58:49. > :59:03.
:59:03. > :59:10.then Martina Grimaldi. She did swimmers a part. We have had
:59:10. > :59:17.problems all the way through. What a race it was. Eva Risztov went
:59:17. > :59:20.early, then she was caught in the last few were hundred metres. I
:59:20. > :59:27.thought Hayley Anderson, whose sister got a gold medal in the
:59:27. > :59:32.4x200 freestyle relay, in the pool, Anderson just got a silver. Silver
:59:32. > :59:42.to Anderson of the USA. The bronze has gone to Martina Grimaldi of
:59:42. > :59:43.
:59:43. > :59:48.Italy, with Keri-Anne Payne of The first thing to say is what a
:59:48. > :59:54.swim from Eva Risztov. The Hungarian looking as if she had
:59:54. > :00:00.started to completely lose her way? But didn't she come back again?
:00:00. > :00:04.This is the Olympics, she wanted it so bad. We thought she had made the
:00:04. > :00:09.break too early. But she did deserve to win. She did work very
:00:09. > :00:14.hard, and to pick it up again when everyone was fighting behind her.
:00:14. > :00:21.Keri-Anne Payne has put everything into that and come away without a
:00:21. > :00:27.medal is cruel. It is hard, I can see why you don't do it anymore?
:00:27. > :00:30.is a tough sport, and Keri-Anne has worked very hard. Less than a
:00:31. > :00:37.seconds from the medal. She was coming back really strong at the
:00:37. > :00:42.end. I am sure she will speak to us now, but we cannot knock the effort.
:00:42. > :00:46.There are swimmers still coming in behind us. Spare a thought for them
:00:46. > :00:56.because it is about the honour of completing a 10 kilometre swim at
:00:56. > :01:02.
:01:02. > :01:12.This is the elite end of the support -- sport. Fantastic.
:01:12. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:25.Amazing shops -- shots. Matthew Pinsent was saying, with rowing,
:01:25. > :01:32.you're hearing goes, and your vision, because your body decides
:01:32. > :01:36.only your essential parts keep you going. When you get to those
:01:36. > :01:44.closing stages and you feel that bad, something instinctive takes
:01:44. > :01:50.over. Risztov was giving everything to be Olympic champion. One last
:01:50. > :01:56.effort. That is the toughest way, leading from the front, I don't
:01:56. > :02:02.think we will see that in the men's race tomorrow, there are more
:02:02. > :02:12.tactics involved. Leading in front is the hardest way to do it. That
:02:12. > :02:20.battle between Grimaldi and Risztov. Watching it here, and on TV, it is
:02:20. > :02:26.as if it is slow motion. Keri-Anne, are you all right?
:02:26. > :02:33.What a terrific effort. Thank you, it didn't go my way from the start.
:02:33. > :02:39.I tried to get back up to leading. But it shows that they played me at
:02:39. > :02:46.my own game. She did such a great job. The top 25 swimmers are here.
:02:46. > :02:52.To come force in thought our old is not too bad, and it was really
:02:52. > :02:56.close. Not quite what I wanted for all of the crowd. For all the
:02:56. > :03:02.people who have worked so hard to get me here. It was a terrific
:03:02. > :03:11.effort. How much were you hurting in the last lap? I was hurting most
:03:11. > :03:16.of the swim. Not initially. I have always said about open water that
:03:16. > :03:22.it is about making the right decision. I went in to feed. From
:03:23. > :03:27.then, I struggled to get back, probably working too hard for how I
:03:27. > :03:32.would like to take the pace. I didn't have enough at the end,
:03:32. > :03:39.unfortunately. I know you have 50 family members here, they are so
:03:40. > :03:49.proud you. These support has been fantastic. Thank you to everybody,
:03:50. > :03:51.
:03:51. > :03:54.all of my coaches. In Stockport. Everybody. And of course my family
:03:54. > :04:04.and David, for all of their support, there wouldn't be here if it wasn't
:04:04. > :04:07.
:04:07. > :04:17.for them. Is this it for open water has a ring? -- something? I don't
:04:17. > :04:27.know. We will see. Well done. David wants to say a word. That was so
:04:27. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :04:37.hard watching, that last bit, depicted up. We'll all so proud you,
:04:37. > :04:37.
:04:37. > :04:42.well done -- you picked it up. Keri-Anne, finishing 4th. She feels,
:04:42. > :04:47.more than anyone, she wanted to do this here, at home, in front of the
:04:47. > :04:52.home crowd, and because there were so many family members here. The
:04:52. > :04:57.good thing about family members is that they do understand that 4th is
:04:57. > :05:04.a great result. They know how hard she has trained. That is all you
:05:04. > :05:11.can do. I am sure she will feel emotional now, not getting what she
:05:11. > :05:16.wanted is frustrated. But, years down the line, if you know you have
:05:16. > :05:21.committed to anything. And she has had a fantastic career. Nobody can
:05:21. > :05:28.take that away from her. This was an amazing opportunity. That is
:05:28. > :05:34.sport, that is why we love it. I know she has given everything. I am
:05:34. > :05:41.sure she will be proud of what she has done. She is hugely popular
:05:41. > :05:49.within the swimming team, a gracious person, funny, warm, she
:05:49. > :05:56.loves to be involved in everybody else's sports. The very unselfish,
:05:56. > :06:01.always smiling. That has to be the hardest thing, to swim for two
:06:01. > :06:11.hours, to do an interview. She has conducted herself very well,
:06:11. > :06:16.
:06:16. > :06:22.graciously. All of the swimmers coming past, they are trained.
:06:22. > :06:28.Especially today, the Sun would have been beating on their back.
:06:28. > :06:35.That dehydrates you. The physical effort that goes into it, it is the
:06:35. > :06:43.most difficult event I have ever done. She talked about missing and
:06:43. > :06:48.intended feed station Pickup? noticed that. Mark changed his
:06:48. > :06:58.shirt to really bright colours. She did miss him. Whether that played a
:06:58. > :07:00.
:07:00. > :07:07.part, it is not for me to say. There are so many things that go on.
:07:07. > :07:15.Coming off the stage, this is risky and -- Risztov, looking incredibly
:07:15. > :07:21.emotional. I might take a gamble. Sorry, that is Lymperta, of Greece,
:07:21. > :07:31.who I think suffered an awful lot out there. You can see the physical
:07:31. > :07:34.
:07:34. > :07:39.nature of this sport, it is crawl - - cruel.
:07:39. > :07:49.Tomorrow, for the men, Dan Fogg, what chances should be hoped for,
:07:49. > :07:53.from him? Myself and Dan Fogg went to Portugal, for training. We both
:07:53. > :08:00.really did not enjoy it. Tomorrow, this is what he wants to be
:08:00. > :08:08.involved in, a nice, flat lake. He is in good form. I think he will
:08:08. > :08:16.revel in this and have a good race. Thank you. I don't know whether we
:08:16. > :08:21.have missed Risztov. What a finish that was. We have
:08:21. > :08:31.come outside. You can see how many people are in the Olympic Park.
:08:31. > :08:38.There are huge screens. Everybody was crude, screaming for Keri-Anne.
:08:38. > :08:45.-- everybody was glued. That was a monumental effort.
:08:45. > :08:51.It was unbelievable. In terms of the planning of these Games, this
:08:51. > :08:55.was an inspired choice for anyone to come here. To watch it, at home,
:08:55. > :09:03.or in person, it makes you really appreciate what they go through, to
:09:03. > :09:07.watch every single minute of it. From the first defeat station, the
:09:07. > :09:15.buoys, trying to keep a clear head when your body is screaming in pain,
:09:15. > :09:18.when you cannot see anything, with its swimmers around you. I saw it
:09:18. > :09:23.for the first time in Beijing, at seeing David come out of the water
:09:23. > :09:33.and thinking, he is going to collapse.
:09:33. > :09:40.The men will be out tomorrow. We have lost the pictures. There was
:09:40. > :09:50.so much hope for Keri-Anne. But, 4th, a monumental effort after one
:09:50. > :09:51.
:09:51. > :09:58.hour and 57 minutes of continual swimming.
:09:58. > :10:04.We saw when lead 10 kilometre or swim, the athletes taking nutrition.
:10:04. > :10:14.Let us move on to the highlight some of what has been going on
:10:14. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:33.around the Olympic Park over the Nicola Adams points proudly to the
:10:33. > :10:43.Lion. Katie Taylor gives thanks for
:10:43. > :10:53.having secured a place in the gold medal bout.
:10:53. > :10:54.
:10:54. > :11:04.It has gone! Oh dear.
:11:04. > :11:05.
:11:05. > :11:13.It is Allyson Felix all the way. Gold medal for Merritt.
:11:13. > :11:20.Blake almost stops. Usain Bolt wins it.
:11:20. > :11:27.What is going to happen in that 200m final? The Olympic stadium
:11:27. > :11:37.behind us is waiting in -- for that man. It is not always those for a
:11:37. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:55.first over the line that create Eric had never seen a swimming pool
:11:55. > :11:59.this bit. But suddenly, he had a chance to win a heat. These two
:11:59. > :12:06.were disqualified for false starting and or Eric had to do now
:12:06. > :12:10.was to complete two lense of freestyle, that would be five
:12:10. > :12:20.lengths of the swimming pool in the hotel where he had learnt to swim
:12:20. > :12:32.
:12:32. > :12:37.In truth, this would not be a record breaking time. The winning
:12:37. > :12:47.time would be one minute faster than this. But perhaps, this will
:12:47. > :12:48.
:12:48. > :12:58.go down in a Olympic folklore. Going down, by staying afloat, just.
:12:58. > :12:58.
:12:58. > :13:06.An absolute legend. There are so many characters and stories which
:13:06. > :13:11.have come out of London 2012, with just four days to go. If you want
:13:11. > :13:16.to look on BBC Three, you can see the bronze-medal match of the
:13:16. > :13:21.women's football. Canada, first as France. Playing the bronze-medal
:13:21. > :13:27.match. Over on BBC One, there will be
:13:27. > :13:32.taekwondo at action, Jade Jones is going in her quarter-final match.
:13:32. > :13:39.She looked incredibly worried first thing this morning when she got
:13:39. > :13:47.into the arena. But she looked so graceful and elegant on the mat.
