:01:00. > :01:07.been with us for the last three hours on BBC One. Here are the
:01:07. > :01:14.headlines. Great Britain's gymnasts a won a bronze medal in the men's
:01:14. > :01:18.team final. Mick was their first medal in the event for 100 years.
:01:18. > :01:23.Team GB's Liam Tancock was disappointed as he finished 5th in
:01:23. > :01:28.the 100m backstroke final. America's Matthew Rovers took the
:01:28. > :01:35.gold. There was glory for the USA as Missy Franklin or won the
:01:35. > :01:41.women's 100m backstroke title ahead of Gemma Spofforth in 5th. The
:01:41. > :01:47.men's hockey team got third bid for the first gold medal since 1988.
:01:47. > :01:50.They beat Argentina 4-1. But there was hard break the Tom Daley and
:01:50. > :01:57.Pete Waterfield as they finished 4th in the synchronised ten-metre
:01:57. > :02:00.platform final, despite leading at the halfway stage. An excellent day
:02:00. > :02:08.in the cross-country for Great Britain's eventing team. But they
:02:08. > :02:13.are in silver ahead of the show jumping tomorrow.
:02:13. > :02:20.We have Lennox Lewis with us. We will talk to him shortly. No
:02:20. > :02:26.British boxer was in action but the best fight was between Australian,
:02:26. > :02:36.Damon Hooper and Marcus Brown of the USA. We starter at the start of
:02:36. > :02:58.
:02:58. > :03:04.81 kg like Division. Marcus Brown of the USA is in blue. Hooper, you
:03:04. > :03:08.see the tattoos on his right arm. He was sent home from the
:03:08. > :03:17.Australian Olympic training camp for what the management described
:03:17. > :03:24.as behavioural disciplinary issues. It was towards colleagues and
:03:24. > :03:29.coaches. He was them invited back into the fold. He said that time
:03:29. > :03:35.away did him good. He regrets the manner in which it came about, but
:03:35. > :03:45.when he returns to the Australian Olympic camp, he returns with those
:03:45. > :03:48.
:03:48. > :03:56.tattoos. It says, super Hooper. And on the other one, it is to do that
:03:56. > :04:00.he is an indigenous Australian. Despite the fact he has had brushes
:04:00. > :04:05.with the authorities in the past, he wants to settle down and serve
:04:05. > :04:09.as a role model. He needs to start stepping on the Gas and throw some
:04:09. > :04:17.more right hands. He is struggling with the movements of Marcus Brown
:04:17. > :04:22.who is boxing well on the outside and waiting for him to come forward.
:04:22. > :04:31.Hooper has to start not only throwing their left hand, but a
:04:31. > :04:36.right hook. He is falling short, he has to get closer to his man.
:04:36. > :04:43.are both part as large boxing contingents for their respective
:04:43. > :04:50.countries. Australia is the only nation to have a man competing in
:04:50. > :04:57.every single weight class. But Hooper was the only one to secure
:04:57. > :05:03.qualification at the first time of asking in the World Championships.
:05:03. > :05:08.The USA have a squad of nine men and three women, making them the
:05:08. > :05:18.largest contingents in the boxing gap London 2012. Hooper is
:05:18. > :05:29.
:05:29. > :05:36.throws, dummies and draw the leader of his opponent and comeback with a
:05:36. > :05:43.counter. That is a looping along uppercut. That delivered from some
:05:43. > :05:53.were down by his knees. It appeared to go neckties, but it caused
:05:53. > :05:56.
:05:56. > :06:03.Hooper to overbalance. -- Connect twice. I think the American corner
:06:03. > :06:13.will be happy. Them man is controlling the tempo. He should be
:06:13. > :06:18.ahead again. I wouldn't argue with the judges. On the inside, who put
:06:18. > :06:24.got caught with a slight right hook. That was a bit better from Hooper
:06:24. > :06:33.as he was coming forward. Watch does he do now, Hooper? Does he go
:06:33. > :06:43.for him? I think he should. Everything to box for in this final
:06:43. > :06:48.
:06:48. > :06:55.and third round. The crowd here at the ExCel Arena in London raising
:06:55. > :06:59.the decibel level. Important round. It is an important round for Marcus
:07:00. > :07:05.Brown also. We will see what he is made of because he will be put
:07:05. > :07:15.under pressure. Can he respond to this man who is coming forward at
:07:15. > :07:32.
:07:32. > :07:38.fence with those long left jabs. His coach is asking him for a
:07:38. > :07:48.little bit more. With just one minute a lapsed in the final round,
:07:48. > :07:51.
:07:51. > :08:01.Australian has to sustain the pressure for stocky has to throw
:08:01. > :08:14.
:08:14. > :08:20.It has brought about a standing count. Hooper is enjoying this.
:08:20. > :08:25.is responding to his corner. He caught his man with a couple of
:08:25. > :08:33.right hands. What is Marcus Brown made of now? It will be tough for
:08:33. > :08:43.the American. He has to be faster would defeat. 10,000 in the crowd
:08:43. > :09:01.
:09:01. > :09:11.in London's Docklands are producing Hooper! Forcing Marcus Brown back
:09:11. > :09:13.
:09:13. > :09:19.to the ropes. Marcus Brown appears badly fatigue. That was untidy and
:09:19. > :09:23.I hope the neither boxer is injured. This has been a pulsating contest.
:09:23. > :09:28.Marcus Brown is not matching the intense and see what the
:09:28. > :09:36.Australians. He brings that a shot from his knees and it is difficult
:09:36. > :09:40.to detect. He is surprising Marcus Brown. Marcus Brown started the
:09:40. > :09:49.contest more brightly. Although there has been nothing in it
:09:49. > :09:57.throughout. Damian two per has responded to his corner and come
:09:57. > :10:07.out blazing as we approach the final bell. Damian Hooper feels he
:10:07. > :10:09.
:10:09. > :10:14.has done enough. He immediately raises his arms. Both of these
:10:14. > :10:19.boxers gave it everything in order to extend their stay at London 2012.
:10:19. > :10:26.It was a better round from the Australian. There is the right hand,
:10:26. > :10:31.if he literally brings it from his knees, and it is so hard to detect.
:10:31. > :10:41.At the end of the contest, the feeling is he has overturned it and
:10:41. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:48.won it. I think he has. Anxious moments for both of them. Ladies
:10:48. > :10:58.and gentlemen. The winner by a score of 13 points to 11, in the
:10:58. > :10:58.
:10:58. > :11:03.red corner representing Australia... Damian Hooper! Damien Hooper
:11:03. > :11:07.salutes the crowd. Disappointment for markers Brown because his
:11:07. > :11:12.Olympic tournament comes two events will stop make no bones about it,
:11:12. > :11:22.take nothing away from this man because Damien Hooper overturned
:11:22. > :11:29.
:11:29. > :11:35.Terrific scrap. Damian Hooper is a self-confessed bad buoy. Likes
:11:35. > :11:41.barbecues, beer and fishing. have to let it all hang out. How
:11:41. > :11:46.many times do you get to go to the Olympics? Nobody really remembers
:11:46. > :11:52.any other medal apart from the gold medal. You were not too impressed
:11:52. > :11:58.with Mark has Brown? He seemed to think he had all day. A lot of
:11:58. > :12:02.people are saying, four years ago at the Olympics, we had this point
:12:02. > :12:05.scoring system when it came up on the screen. It was interesting,
:12:06. > :12:10.because even if you couldn't work it out or were they were getting
:12:10. > :12:16.the points from, you could still see who was leading. I cannot
:12:16. > :12:20.understand why it has gone. I think they should put it back in. If you
:12:20. > :12:25.are behind you get to look up at the score and see how many points
:12:25. > :12:33.you need to make up. The reason they have done it, apparently it
:12:33. > :12:38.was showing the scoring to be flawed at times. Now we know.
:12:38. > :12:45.is the only sport the referees are tested for alcohol. Are you
:12:45. > :12:52.serious? It is true. What about the British, we have seven boxes, all
:12:52. > :12:58.unbeaten so far. They are looking good. I was watching Anthony Ogogo.
:12:58. > :13:03.He looked like he was very serious with great poise. He is very
:13:03. > :13:06.focused and wants to win. Have you got any advice because a lot of
:13:06. > :13:13.them will turn professional after the games. The way they should go
:13:13. > :13:18.about it? I can only go by myself. I would say to them, take your time,
:13:18. > :13:23.relax and have a break. And then go round to all of the promoters who
:13:23. > :13:31.want to sign you, talk to them and talk to all of their people. Grab a
:13:31. > :13:37.feel of what you like. For me, I talk to everyone. Did you do much
:13:37. > :13:41.after you turn professional? He did all right did you? Of course!
:13:41. > :13:49.were a magnificent fighter, world champion and it has been a thrill
:13:49. > :13:52.to have you here. Thanks for having One of the great things about the
:13:52. > :13:58.Olympics is a we can suddenly be engrossed by a sport that a large
:13:58. > :14:02.majority of us would normally watch. A great example of that was
:14:02. > :14:12.weightlifting. The Great Britain we have Zoe Smith. Let's see how she
:14:12. > :14:45.
:14:46. > :14:55.Smith. It is the biggest moment of her life, she is only 18. To get
:14:56. > :15:12.
:15:12. > :15:18.very close and it won't be long before she breaks the record. At
:15:18. > :15:28.least she has a 90 kgs which is the important thing. She is still in
:15:28. > :16:02.
:16:02. > :16:08.produced the British -- can she record. Zoe Smith, the 18-year-old
:16:08. > :16:15.from London, that put her on a total of 211 kg. Well done, she
:16:15. > :16:22.makes her look easy. She composes herself, up it goes. She stands
:16:22. > :16:27.still. She gets the British record, well done. The crowd on their feet.
:16:27. > :16:37.211 kg, she sits in a silver medal position at the moment but we do
:16:37. > :16:51.
:16:51. > :16:55.have another group to go later. had more in the tank. She is very
:16:55. > :17:01.powerful. Just come up from the lower weight category, looks very
:17:01. > :17:11.strong, probably one of the shortest in the group which can be
:17:11. > :17:13.
:17:13. > :17:23.an advantage. You don't have to lift the bar as far. Successful
:17:23. > :17:50.
:17:50. > :17:58.attempt at 101, and 104. Stood up 106 kgs, flies up. Six kgs over her
:17:58. > :18:08.previous personal best of 100 kg. She has really improved. This is
:18:08. > :18:10.
:18:10. > :18:19.the Olympic title they all want. This is her final attempt. Needed
:18:19. > :18:28.105 in the second attempt. She is now going for 108. She is going for
:18:28. > :18:33.an Olympic record. She does it. And with ease, as well. It is a shame
:18:33. > :18:39.she doesn't have another attempt. To look at the Chinese flags waving,
:18:39. > :18:42.a huge support for the Chinese. Another record for them. We have
:18:43. > :18:49.seen World Records and now we have seen an Olympic record, look at the
:18:49. > :18:59.power. The second section of the weightlifting, about to begin, for
:18:59. > :19:17.
:19:17. > :19:27.it in the first love, this is her final attempt. By virtue of very
:19:27. > :19:55.
:19:55. > :20:01.light body weight she will go into the judges think. Three white light.
:20:01. > :20:11.That was close. Took her a while to stand still and keep the bar
:20:11. > :20:39.
:20:39. > :20:49.completely still above her head. goodness me this celebration says
:20:49. > :21:03.
:21:03. > :21:10.everything. She goes into the lead 134 which will give her a total of
:21:10. > :21:20.234 and propel her from 6th position into the bronze position.
:21:20. > :21:46.
:21:46. > :21:53.personal best. She is in the bronze-medal position. Thailand a
:21:53. > :22:03.tempting 136. Only her second lift. It is a five kg increase. If she
:22:03. > :22:20.
:22:21. > :22:29.does it she goes into the silver delighted. 136 kgs. That takes her
:22:29. > :22:35.into the silver medal position. has just seen herself pushed off
:22:35. > :22:45.the podium, a great lift. It is one of Thai competitor against the
:22:45. > :22:49.other. Had she comes for her final left. If she hits 136 she will go
:22:49. > :22:59.into second equal, and by virtue of body weight she will have the
:22:59. > :23:16.
:23:16. > :23:21.silver. The second tier lifter. -- gave it everything, there is not
:23:21. > :23:26.much more you can ask for from an athlete. She was stuck in the squat
:23:26. > :23:36.position, finishes with a smile on her face. Fortunately just outside
:23:36. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:45.the medals. She is sitting on a total of 241 after 108. If she does
:23:45. > :23:52.this she will get 138 and her total will go up to 245 and it will be an
:23:52. > :24:02.Olympic record and she will be so far away from the Thai competitor
:24:02. > :24:35.
:24:35. > :24:39.it will virtually guarantee her a total, 246 kgs, 10 kg ahead. She is
:24:39. > :24:43.at the top of the pile when it comes to Olympic lifts. She holds
:24:43. > :24:53.the overall total record at the Olympic Games. New Olympic record.
:24:53. > :24:57.
:24:57. > :25:02.There you go, confirmation she is 10 kgs ahead of the second position.
:25:02. > :25:12.Ukraine takes the brunt. Great Britain, further down, Zoe Smith
:25:12. > :25:14.
:25:14. > :25:21.Her British record for Zoe Smith. But Great Britain women's
:25:21. > :25:31.basketball team 1 -- lost their first match but today play calendar.
:25:31. > :25:40.
:25:40. > :25:50.-- played Canada. Britain are run often in basketball. An inadvisable
:25:50. > :25:53.
:25:53. > :26:03.shot on one end is punished on the other end. That is the exact type
:26:03. > :26:27.
:26:27. > :26:33.of shot Great Britain have been That was a dangerous pass. It was
:26:33. > :26:42.an obvious one. They need to keep their composure, get something out
:26:42. > :26:52.of the events, very stagnant by now another close one. She misses,
:26:52. > :26:52.
:26:52. > :27:02.rebounds. It looks really stagnant on their sides. Four minutes left
:27:02. > :27:07.
:27:08. > :27:17.He wants to talk it over, he knows the shots are not those that will
:27:17. > :27:20.win this kind of game. When it like Canada, making sure they
:27:20. > :27:25.forced the referees to make decisions about fouls, and
:27:25. > :27:33.certainly for GB to play tough in Defence. The interesting thing is
:27:33. > :27:40.how well the players have adjusted. Both teams have understood the
:27:40. > :27:48.referees will swallow the whistles. GB have taken more advantage of
:27:49. > :27:54.that fact than Canada which is surprising. One of the rules is
:27:54. > :28:01.referees will always interpret the game in one way. Good players will
:28:01. > :28:05.adjust to that. It is not a question of the referee being bad.
:28:05. > :28:12.They have been invisible. basketball has been the better for
:28:12. > :28:22.the result. You see the drive, the last drive by Canada. They are

:28:47. > :28:51.
:28:51. > :28:56.Stafford pushing her free. Another big offensive rebound. Another
:28:57. > :29:04.possession. This is the key time, only one shot, you can only allow
:29:04. > :29:12.one shot. They go cross-court, take the three, miss it. Both Great

:29:29. > :29:36.ball and they are still taking Kitted out to the cornet, Smith was
:29:36. > :29:44.on the line. That was almost a full minute of possession from Canada.
:29:44. > :29:51.You cannot the win if you will give up that many offensive rebounds.
:29:51. > :30:01.Kim Butler kids it out -- kicked it out. You can see the frustration on
:30:01. > :30:05.
:30:05. > :30:10.Collins comes in. That last shot by Canada, foot on the line, luckily,
:30:10. > :30:13.for Great Britain. The fact is now, the pressure has to come on but
:30:13. > :30:23.they must make sure this pressure doesn't mean they get beaten moving
:30:23. > :30:35.
:30:35. > :30:45.Canada spread it out again. Smith hits A3 at this time. No need to
:30:45. > :30:46.
:30:46. > :30:56.panic at this point. Loads of time. Just need high-quality shops. The
:30:56. > :31:01.
:31:01. > :31:11.speed of passing by Great Britain is not as sharp. Temi Fagbenle!
:31:11. > :31:15.
:31:15. > :31:22.pressure is easily handled by She almost couldn't handle it. She
:31:22. > :31:30.put it in in the end. Almost fumbled it. Temi Fagbenle looking
:31:30. > :31:40.to get open. Has to come back out to control the ball. Natalie
:31:40. > :31:50.Stafford tried to lay it up. Canada saying, we need to hold this up.
:31:50. > :31:56.
:31:56. > :32:00.They get the rebound. That was huge. Be up there is a story at the end
:32:00. > :32:05.of this game if it does not go to Great Britain, it means these
:32:05. > :32:11.offensive rebounds means Canada had or 10 possessions when Great
:32:11. > :32:17.Britain only have three. You cannot win when you have 10 possessions
:32:17. > :32:21.against Jews. Great Britain have their work cut out for them. This
:32:21. > :32:31.is a question of getting a great shot, moving towards the basket,
:32:31. > :32:32.
:32:32. > :32:37.getting there whole team moving. Look at the intensity from Alison
:32:37. > :32:45.McNeill. She knows exactly what they need to do. If they can do it
:32:45. > :32:50.without mistakes that they are in a great position to close it out.
:32:50. > :33:00.Trying to get Great Britain an option. Probably one option heading
:33:00. > :33:01.
:33:01. > :33:11.towards the basket. Great hands to hold on to that and put it into the
:33:11. > :33:21.basket. Passing is the terms of the game in terms of driving in. A
:33:21. > :33:30.
:33:30. > :33:37.lesson can be learned from that in Canada all over the board. A great
:33:37. > :33:47.job of trying to keep it going. Natalie Stafford has done a great
:33:47. > :34:08.
:34:08. > :34:15.It was short but that it was good They can't let at the clock just
:34:15. > :34:21.run down. Either foul or don't foul. And there is a foul. The it is the
:34:21. > :34:31.worst combination. Foul early and caused a reset for starboard don't
:34:31. > :34:53.
:34:53. > :34:58.40 seconds remaining. Kim Smith the Mrs them both. Stef Collins comes
:34:58. > :35:05.away with the ball. And there is a foul. You wish she could have
:35:05. > :35:15.thrown the ball up as she gets hit. For foul is on the floor so no
:35:15. > :35:20.
:35:20. > :35:30.three throws. It is one of those It is amazing, any of these touches
:35:30. > :35:44.
:35:44. > :35:54.could have been a foul in any other Great Britain needed to stop the
:35:54. > :36:04.
:36:04. > :36:14.Again, reaching in for the foul. Only 15 seconds now to play. The
:36:14. > :36:16.
:36:16. > :36:23.next foul will send Canada to the line to chute. And then the penalty.
:36:23. > :36:33.I would like to have seen Great Britain get Canada earlier into the
:36:33. > :36:47.
:36:47. > :36:54.penalty. Instead the ball goes on Jo Leedham last a foul. The this is
:36:54. > :36:59.a tough, tough loss for Great Britain. They are looking at a game
:36:59. > :37:05.where they did so much right. A good foul there by Jo Leedham to
:37:05. > :37:09.stop the clock. It would have been criminal, win or lose it Great
:37:09. > :37:17.Britain had looked at this game and said, that is as good as we can
