women's boxing, Katie Taylor was attempting to win her country's

first gold medal, up against Archer Dover of Russia. Most of Ireland

combination, Katie Taylor. And the crowd are doing their best to lift

their boxer, because she was trailing at the end of the second

round. She knows the status of the contest entering the third round,

and has responded like a champion Katie, beginning to settle a little

bit more. Doing what she does so beautifully, swift combinations,

getting her feet in and feet out. The Russian, in pursuit, the

referee has to issue the command.. Having one a round the ribs, that

is of course a legal. -- illegal. Taylor, caught in two minds almost.

She didn't pull the trigger. Running repairs Tutsi bootlaces and

getting in and out without getting caught on the counter. This is

where she is at home. And this is what she needs to do to a come --

Ireland's Katie Taylor, the best boxer in the world, the four time

and reigning world championship gold medallist, the five-time

European champion, stands two minutes away from Olympic gold

medal glory. She responded like a champion dies as she entered the

third round a facing the adversity of a swan point deficit -- like a

champion does. And now, the tactics will no doubt change from the

Russian, she will have to take her opponent -- take the match to her

opponent. She is now out of her, but then, she wanted to sit on the

back for Goode, but she can work on the front foot as well. Katie needs

to remain concentrated. She catches her with a flying a left hook,

slightly off balance. Past the halfway stage in this 4th and final

round. Katie Taylor has heeded the instructions of her coach and

father to a tee. He was an Irish amateur champion in the 1980s. It

Taylor first absorbed her love for this board. Who knew she would

possess such a prodigious talent, one that has taken her to four

global titles? She lands a beautiful right hand. Who knew that

produced -- prodigious talent would take up to the pinnacle of the

women's Olympic sport? She stands here now, on the cusp of Olympic

gold medal glory. She continues to box brilliantly as we approach the

final bell. This is a boxing lesson in this final round. She is

countering and moving, moving her feet. Her opponent is struggling in

the last few seconds to find a shot And at the final bell, Katie Taylor

beat her chest in celebration. She receives a hub of congratulation

from her team, there can be no doubt that the woman who is the

best boxer in the world has done enough to overcome her arch-rival

from Russia, he gave it her absolute all. Indeed, should lead

after two round, but Taylor responded like a championship. She

dug deep to have an advantage going into the 4th and final round. She

maintained her concentration and surely, that is enough to see her

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by a score of 10.28 and the Olympic

champion, in the red corner... Katie Taylor! Katie Taylor

collapses to the canvas in absolute delight. She has just been crowned

the Olympic champion. The combination of a lifetime of work.

She learned by copying her father Peter, who is giving her a hug over

in that red corner, and her fans here are in absolute rapture. Their

superstar has just achieved, she now takes the time to acknowledge

the crowd, who supported her without hesitation and without

failure through the course of those four two minute rounds. And the

magnitude of achievement is just beginning to sink in. Katie Taylor,

the four time world champion, five- time European champion, dancer with

delight at having just been crowned the first ever women's Olympic

lightweight champion. She has made history. She drapes herself in the

Irish flag, does Eilat around the ring as she joins island's boxing

immortals, in a country where boxing tradition runs rich and deep.

She stand at the very pinnacle of Irish boxing achievement, becoming

just the second Olympic champion in Irish history. But this moment

have a British finalist. Jade Jones made it through to the final. To

win, she need to beat her Chinese COMMENTATOR: I wonder if the post

box in North Wales tonight is turning gold. Flint's Jade Jones is

going to get has face on a stamp tomorrow. She has captured our

imagination during the course of the day inside the ExCel, Jade

Jones. The 19-year-old world championship silver medallist last

year. That gave us the first indication, John, but he was

something special, someone who could challenge at this stage in

the day at an Olympics taekwondo. Yes, a prodigious talent, Jade

Jones. As elite youth Olympic champion she will look to go one

better here, on the biggest stage of all. She has been in fantastic

form all day. It's not discount Hou Yuzhuo, world champion and in fine

form and it is going to be a cracker. Yes, the Chinese comes to

the Olympics as world champion, having beaten Britain's Jade Jones

in South Korea last year. It went to sudden death. It shows you how

tight this might be. It went to the 4th period, the other Tyne and it

was one kick that made the difference. But Jade did exact

revenge at the German Open, winning by a couple of points, eight-six.

That was earlier this year. In terms of being able to kick to the

head, it is a battle of flexibility and ferocity. I know there will be

lots of you enjoying taekwondo for the first time at this Games. It is

enjoying its 4th Olympics. Ancient martial art, it has been around on

the Korean peninsula in its various forms for the best part of to

matured centuries. It might have been born in Korea, but it has

captured the attention of those here in the ExCel, the bulk of them

locals supporting Jade Jones. So many have made the trip down from

North Wales. Her family are here mum. I am not sure who has been

selling the sausages back home in Flint, because that is the job that

mum normally does. She is here. Her dad, Gary, has been pacing around

outside, tried keep his nerves down. How would you feel if your 19-year-

old daughter was on the way to winning an Olympic medal, possibly

gold? The rest of her family is here, including her grandad, Martin,

who is there inspiration. He introduced her to the sport when

looking at other sports but liked looking at taekwondo. What a gift

she has been do the sport so far. She will be looking to go for the

biggest title of all and in terms of skills and ability and

temperament, she is going to have to manage this environment here

this place, inside the ExCel. It is not quite melted metal, but it has

felt like it on occasions. Here we are, the women's and 57 kilos final,

the women's featherweights, nine stones, if you prefer old money,

and it features Britain. A British taekwondo athlete has never won

Olympic gold. Here come the girls, showing the way all day for Great

Britain and right at the end of it, Wales' Jade Jones. She is against

just about the best the sport can offer, China's Hou Yuzhuo. It has

been a good start to these games for China. The flyweight title was

defended yesterday. Tonight, it is the responsibility of Hou Yuzhuo to

go in search of a second gold. There has been a battle shipped off

determination from Flint, in North Wales, who is determined that it

will not be China's night, it will be her night. The referee in charge

of business will be helped out by three chair umpires, who sit around

at the edges of the area, eight metres square. A day that started

for Jade Jones eight long time ago with her first contest at 10:30am

this morning. It will end a little over 12 hours later. That is what

you call a shift that the Olympics. Unemphatic first round win against

Serbia's Dragana Gladovic. She swept aside Mayu Hamada, then Li-

trying to kick their big brothers. That is what Jade Jones has done,

changed the perception of taekwondo today. In her excitement to get

into the middle of them that she forgot a fairly important aspect of

the kit, her protective headgear. On goes the blue headgear belonging

to Jade Jones on the left, and in the red, from China, Hou Yuzhuo,

the Olympic featherweight title. Jade Jones going for Britain's

first ever gold medal in this sport. Starting in her usual customary

style, pushing her with the legal leg. The front leg is the leg

closest to the opponent and the censor socks on the feet have been

measured up to the body armour. The point registers automatically. One

point for a kick to the body, two for a spin to the body, three for a

kick to the head and four for a spin to the head. These two ladies

have previous. They are trying to find the range and the distance.

Yes, when you get a close-up of the mat, it is made up of turquoise

rectangles, one metre square, and about a metre is the amount they

are looking for, but where they feel safe to launched their attacks.

Absolutely, you can see trepidation from those, trying to maintain the

gap. Hou Yuzhuo will be trying to subdue the crowd, more than aware

that Jade, if she gets going, could be compete -- can be dangerous to

compete against. Jade Jones does not want to make mistakes because

she knows when Hou Yuzhuo brings her feet close together, she is

looking for a head shot. Just as she did there. A spinning head shot

would have been worth four points, had it been connected. It did not

has just stepped out. A little penalty. At this point it is not

significant, but if she has a low one, then Jade Jones will get a

enormously pleased with her start build upon, she will have done some

research, realised the shot that will work and because these ladies

have fought each other before, they will have studied the tapes, worked

out different strategies and are not going to fight with a great

deal of freedom at this stage. I will pay you a picture of flint

in North Wales. It is the place Jade Jones calls home. It is

standing room only at the social club. They are spilling out onto

the road outside, those not lucky enough to have a ticket here. They

don't need to worry about cars in Flint, because no one is driving.

The town is brought to a standstill by its young heroine and the sport

of taekwondo. That is the power of The second round, Jade Jones from

Great Britain in the blue. Hou Yuzhuo from China, the double world

champion, in red, all the right. Both moving to open stance. The

The final round of the Olympic final. The final two minutes, just

two minutes' standing between Jade Jones and we know what. She is up

against one of the deadliest exponents of the sport. China's Hou

Yuzhuo, in the red. Jade Jones in An attempt to change the tactics,

the attacking back kick from Hou Yuzhuo, but she looks leg weary.

She looks exhausted. It has been a long, long day. Not too many other

sports over the course of an Olympic day that start at breakfast

time and finished not far-off bedtime. The first contest of the

day was at nine o'clock this morning, so the athletes arrive at

7:30am, and will not leave much before midnight. They are brutal

days but no one complains if they go back with the metalwork they

come here to collect. That young lady is giving Hou Yuzhuo a head

full of problems at the moment. the database that runs in the

background subconsciously of what to do next, what kick to choose,

when to do it, how to do it, it is all about Jade Jones at the moment

but two points is not much at this stage. Another kyong-go for pushing

and that could prove costly. Jade Jones has got one against her, so

she can't hang back too much and needs to flick her head back on

that occasion because the Chinese is looking but Jones scores again,

it is 3-0. I think she might take up kyong-go for intentionally

blocking. But the Chinese takes it, that helps Jones even more. 4-0. It

is not times to up -- it is not time to start believing just yet

because the schools can rattle up in the blink of an eye. We are into

the final minute and Jade Jones is on the brink of something special

here. She has conceded a little point penalty of her own now, so

the league is back to three, which means she is within reach of a head

shot but not any more. Four points clear!. By point, the world -- the

gold get closer and closer and her coach can barely contain himself,

as I suspect you at home can barely Who thought you could get so

excited about tae kwon do? It is the gift to the watching fans, it

is about Jade Jones, she is imperious and dominant. She is on

the cusp. She has been brought back to four points very quickly. Never

that there would be an Olympic gold medal hung around the neck of a

British athlete. It is the young prodigy, Jade Jones, she takes the
