Hello, and welcome back to a glorious day at London 2012. Let us | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
hope the golden glint can continue. We are concentrating on the 10 | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
kilometre or open water swim. Here is what else is coming up on the | :00:45. | :00:49. | |

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