:16:39. > :16:44.match and they play at this pace all of the time. Well, at a faster
:16:44. > :16:48.pace than this, obviously. Their ball-handling skills are incredible.
:16:48. > :16:53.That is how they beat European opposition who are not used to this
:16:53. > :16:57.kind of play. It doesn't suit their defensive style. But the Norwegians
:16:57. > :17:03.hit them early, took the lead and from then on, the Koreans have been
:17:03. > :17:13.doing all the chasing. They closed to within one goal in the first

:33:17. > :33:25.eventing, as well as the Olympic bronze medallist here in the London
:33:25. > :33:31.Olympics. Very emotional for her, riding her fabulous horse. And she

:33:49. > :33:56.the business, but this Lady wins the medals. The Netherlands has
:33:56. > :34:03.been a nation that has brought great joy to the Dutch in their
:34:03. > :34:09.team activities. They stood in the shadow of the German performances,
:34:09. > :34:15.but they have taken on the Germans and the beaten them, and she stands
:34:15. > :34:21.to not only receives the silver medal, but also those lovely
:34:21. > :34:27.flowers. And how gracious and charming she has been. She has, and
:34:27. > :34:34.she is a total joy and a wonderful ambassador for the sport. And so to
:34:34. > :34:41.the Olympic champion. What a day for her. Will it ever be the same
:34:41. > :34:51.again? Charlotte Dujardin, her first Olympic Games, winning gold
:34:51. > :34:52.
:34:52. > :35:01.She is certainly a lovely, bubbly young lady who will know exactly
:35:01. > :35:04.what to say and what to do for all of those who have helped her to
:35:04. > :35:08.that world-class performance. That lottery funding is now more
:35:08. > :35:16.important than ever, and certainly the British equestrians have
:35:16. > :35:23.delivered for all of that support they have had. What a moment. Well,
:35:23. > :35:28.the Olympic champion stands aloft. We are going to stand aloft as well,
:35:28. > :35:33.because we are going to sink, very proudly, the national anthem for
:35:33. > :35:43.Great Britain -- we are going to sing. Please stand for the national

:35:43. > :36:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 78 seconds
:36:29. > :36:34.I am joined by the girls of the moment, Charlotte and Laura.
:36:34. > :36:39.Charlotte, you beat the world No. 1, not to mention Laurenne next to you,
:36:39. > :36:45.you smashed the Olympic record and you are now the individual champion.
:36:45. > :36:51.It is unbelievable. I didn't think I'd be that emotional, but he gave
:36:51. > :36:55.everything today and he actually felt tired, and I said that he was
:36:55. > :37:01.tired and he went in there and gave me everything he had. He's just an
:37:01. > :37:05.amazing horse. He is only 10, but he so special. You have only been
:37:05. > :37:09.doing this less than two years at the top level. We only really
:37:09. > :37:13.started in January last year, that was the first Grand Prix. I do not
:37:14. > :37:20.know how we have done it. Now I have to Olympic gold medals.
:37:20. > :37:24.Unbelievable. It did you choose the music? I did, with the composer,
:37:24. > :37:30.Tom Hunter, and it is great fun. I love riding to that. I really
:37:30. > :37:34.enjoyed it. Laura, congratulations on your bronze medal. You chose the
:37:34. > :37:38.Lion King. When you heard that she had the dam Busters and the Big Ben
:37:38. > :37:44.chimes, did you think the music would get some people going anyway?
:37:44. > :37:49.Absolutely. I loved Charlotte's music. I thought it really showed
:37:49. > :37:54.the expression that the horse has, and they did a great job today. The
:37:54. > :37:58.music made me emotional. I thought it was awesome. I think we both
:37:58. > :38:07.enjoy riding to music and to do it in front of that crowd is an unreal
:38:07. > :38:12.feeling. Fantastic for your horse, 17 years old now. A completely
:38:12. > :38:16.different story. He was a bit of a lunatic in his younger days and it
:38:16. > :38:22.has taken him a long time to get to the point where he was able to ride
:38:23. > :38:26.in the arena. In the last three championships, no, four
:38:26. > :38:32.championships, he has meddled individually or in the team every
:38:32. > :38:39.time, which is an incredible record for a 17-year-old horse to come and
:38:39. > :38:43.do. To get a bronze, that made me very emotional. The atmosphere has
:38:43. > :38:47.been electric the entire way through the games in Greenwich Park.
:38:47. > :38:54.You have had to work a lot on your own psychology and the horses as
:38:54. > :38:58.well. I had to make sure I could somehow try and make sure I could
:38:58. > :39:03.keep him calm, because he can be quite high power and he does
:39:04. > :39:08.respond to the atmosphere. That was difficult to deal with, but he was
:39:08. > :39:13.awesome to ride and gave me everything he had and that is all
:39:13. > :39:20.you you have been a call and calm through the games. You have never
:39:20. > :39:25.dealt with sports psychologist, you just stay focused. On the special,
:39:25. > :39:30.I did get a bit nervous because I watched Carl first, and that makes
:39:30. > :39:35.me nervous but I had no time to chill out before I got on. So why
:39:35. > :39:39.was actually a bit on edge for the special -- I was actually. But
:39:39. > :39:47.today I wanted to have fun. It was going to be our last time and I
:39:47. > :39:57.wanted to give everything and enjoy Well done to Charlotte and Laura.
:39:57. > :39:59.
:39:59. > :40:07.What a successful games for the medals, and now it is 51, 24 gold
:40:07. > :40:10.medals, 12 ahead of South Korea in Australia in 10th, a bit of a
:40:10. > :40:14.surprise. Now we are moving on to hockey, and the great British women
:40:14. > :40:17.went out in the semi-finals today, but today it is the men and they
:40:17. > :40:21.will be playing later against the Netherlands. We will concentrate on
:40:21. > :40:25.the afternoon match featuring Germany up against Australia, who
:40:25. > :40:35.are ranked No. 1 and have been in dominant form in recent years.
:40:35. > :40:39.
:40:39. > :40:44.Let's see what happened with Sean Turner can take the opportunity,
:40:44. > :40:51.but in the follow-up it has been taken with great star -- Turner
:40:51. > :40:57.couldn't take the opportunity. the tattooed man of the Australian
:40:57. > :41:07.side, great strike into the dip, and it went in the perfect position.
:41:07. > :41:29.
:41:29. > :41:34.We have seen a lot of corners going And eventually the goal has been
:41:34. > :41:44.given and it is Turner who has scored. He has a shot to start with,
:41:44. > :41:49.
:41:49. > :41:59.but he didn't panic. A scrappy goal, A real chance. Nothing wrong with
:41:59. > :42:03.that one for Germany. That is the equaliser. So simple in the finish,
:42:03. > :42:13.but it was caused by the Balkan being given away in the Australian
:42:13. > :42:22.
:42:22. > :42:29.25 by the Australians, caused by That is a very nice goal from Wess.
:42:29. > :42:34.Or a good routine. He shifted it just enough so Burger's post was
:42:34. > :42:44.exposed, and that was poured through the eye of the needle. --
:42:44. > :42:51.
:42:51. > :42:56.Yes! It is Florian flukes, and that surely has taken Germany to the
:42:56. > :43:06.final. What a fantastic ball and a fantastic run. One end to the other
:43:06. > :43:10.
:43:10. > :43:15.So, Germany have beaten Australia, and they are through to the final
:43:15. > :43:20.and will face either Great Britain or the Netherlands and that will be
:43:20. > :43:24.life at 8pm on BBC Three. If Great Britain win, it could be a repeat
:43:24. > :43:32.of the final in 1988, and we all remember what happened when Sean
:43:32. > :43:36.Kelly was one of the heroes. -- Sean Kerly. We are heading to Earls
:43:36. > :43:39.Court for the volleyball. It is semi-finals in the women's event,
:43:39. > :43:43.and we are featuring the US against South Korea. The American squad
:43:43. > :43:50.have come through the group stages winning all five matches and have
:43:50. > :43:54.only dropped two sets on route to the semis. South Korea are ranked
:43:54. > :44:04.third in the world. We can join the match, and it is 2-0 in favour of

:45:32. > :45:38.What a retrieval. And a Glock! -- Glock. Now there's a bit more
:45:38. > :45:48.bounce on the Korean side of the net. Previously heads were about,

:46:39. > :46:44.I've only seen him... If 10 out of 10 would get him really angry, he
:46:44. > :46:50.has been 7.5. That was probably four. He doesn't need to jump up
:46:50. > :46:53.and scream at players. He can get his point across quite articulately.
:46:53. > :46:58.His players don't perform best when he is screaming and shouting at
:46:58. > :47:03.them. He liked them to be nice and relaxed, although at the moment
:47:03. > :47:13.they are looking a little bit too relaxed. A bit complacent?
:47:13. > :47:15.
:47:15. > :47:21.quite possibly. Oh no! That is what they didn't need. It is the
:47:21. > :47:31.technical time out. If they could have levelled, if those little
:47:31. > :47:33.
:47:33. > :47:38.errors... Go get it. Unless you are thinking I'm going to split it,
:47:38. > :47:45.that is a different scenario. That is leading to this, not over and
:47:45. > :47:51.penetrating. Turn it and get over. We can do that. You are a monster,
:47:51. > :47:57.right? The coach talking about the penetration of the block. He was
:47:57. > :48:04.clearly saying that he doesn't want her right hand to be open. That
:48:04. > :48:14.creates a gap between the blockers. It would probably go off behind the
:48:14. > :48:20.
:48:20. > :48:25.court. He wants her hand tilted They are looking for success. You
:48:25. > :48:31.join the two blockers together, interesting. Normally coaches have
:48:31. > :48:36.a chat with the set-up because they are the playmaker. The express
:48:37. > :48:46.intention to talk to both his middle blockers. Here's one of them.

:49:32. > :49:42.point. No let up for Korea. You can see that from the expressions. This

:49:56. > :50:01.angle. She was closed down, the blockers were there in force, but
:50:01. > :50:08.she still found a gap cross-court. Such congestion around her and yet
:50:08. > :50:15.she found the court. The only place she could hit was there. Brilliant,
:50:15. > :50:20.absolutely brilliant. 16-17, they are back in it. America, if they
:50:20. > :50:28.take their eye off the ball, they might be made to pay. There was a
:50:28. > :50:34.touch. 16-18. More than happy to trade points, keep this gap, keep
:50:34. > :50:42.it steady. Getting to the 20s, that is when the enormity of what is
:50:42. > :50:52.facing Korea will hit home. America almost over the line. Best-of-five

:50:54. > :51:00.set. Was that in? No, just out. Going for the ace. 17-18. That is
:51:00. > :51:09.what Korea need. If they can't have the ace, just make sure America are
:51:10. > :51:17.playing. That will do! Just what she wanted. I'm tempted did say she
:51:18. > :51:27.played for that because she is so good! Wow! What a recovery. It has
:51:28. > :51:36.
:51:36. > :51:40.It has gone out! She does play with a motion a lot of the time. She is
:51:40. > :51:46.quite volatile and when it is working, it is wonderful, but if
:51:46. > :51:51.she loses, it feels like the end of the world. You'll have to drag her
:51:51. > :52:01.from the court, she will have collapsed in a heap. That is a good
:52:01. > :52:01.
:52:01. > :52:11.sign of a winner. Absolutely and so far she has been. Off the block!
:52:11. > :52:18.
