Well, welcome back! Would you look at the time? It is lunchtime, and

:00:27.:00:31.

every day at this time of day we will be delivering our packed lunch,

:00:31.:00:35.

a round-up of what has been going on at the Olympics in bite-sized

:00:35.:00:45.
:00:45.:00:52.

Low macro, I don't know what to say! Liam Tancock has got 5th, just

inspire some future generations of swimmers. Oh, my goodness me, Gemma

:01:05.:01:12.

Spofforth was 5th. The gold medal goes to Ruta Meilutyte or of

:01:22.:01:50.

Zone Smith, the 18-year-old from They Alar, plenty to get your teeth

:01:50.:01:56.

into, memorable moments. -- There you are. It is the women's 10 in

:01:56.:01:59.

the North Greenwich Arena this afternoon, the women's team final,

:01:59.:02:04.

but before that what can you watch and when can you watch it? If you

:02:04.:02:09.

switch over to BBC Three, you can see Ben Ainslie in action, he is in

:02:09.:02:15.

the sixth of 11 races, trying to get their Olympic gold. Coming up

:02:15.:02:23.

later on the red button, you will be able to see Badminton. Also, we

:02:33.:02:35.

will an action from Wimbledon later And also, if you fancy a bit of

:02:35.:02:41.

action on the piste, we have got fencing for you on the red button.

:02:41.:02:49.

Well, a lot has been going on already this morning, these are the

:02:49.:02:52.

headlines: In the swimming pool this morning, the Australian

:02:52.:02:59.

missile James Magnussen, and world record holder Cesar Cielo made it

:02:59.:03:06.

through to this freestyle semi- finals. There was a big shock for

:03:06.:03:08.

Britain's world silver-medallist Ellen Gandy, she failed to qualify

:03:08.:03:13.

for the women's 200m butterfly, but better news for Jemma Lowe, through

:03:13.:03:22.

to the semi-finals, the third- And out on a lake at Eton Dorney,

:03:22.:03:26.

Alan Campbell was an impressive winner of his heat in the men's

:03:26.:03:34.

single sculls. He wins a semi-final place with a good victory over the

German. And the lightweight men's four will go in Thursday's final

:03:38.:03:43.

fall in confidence after winning their semi-final. -- full of

:03:43.:03:46.

confidence. We are going to stay on the water, and we have been giving

:03:46.:03:49.

you lots of films about how our commentary team got into their

:03:50.:03:59.
:04:00.:04:08.

sport and why they love it so, and I first got into conniving really

:04:08.:04:11.

threw my brother. He saw a programme on the television and

:04:11.:04:17.

decided he wanted to have a go. Being the younger sister, I got

:04:17.:04:21.

dragged along. When I got there, I got into it and probably got about

:04:21.:04:25.

half a metre away from the bank had just burst into tears, so it wasn't

:04:25.:04:29.

the most successful start to what people would think of as my

:04:29.:04:33.

kennelling career. The canal was only a couple of hundred metres up

:04:33.:04:37.

the road, so I used to walk from my house to the canal, but I can

:04:37.:04:41.

remember the older I got, the more embarrassing this became,

:04:41.:04:45.

particularly the times when I got to college age. It was not a cool

:04:45.:04:49.

thing to be doing. There were a lot of very competent canoeists in the

:04:49.:04:53.

club who took her under their wing, and they saw her potential very

:04:53.:04:57.

quickly. I think my friends from school thought I was a bit crazy,

:04:57.:05:01.

but they were incredibly supportive. They would sit there with umbrellas

:05:01.:05:05.

watching me go round and round in circles, as they would describe, so

:05:05.:05:09.

has time went on they probably thought I was less crazy, but it

:05:09.:05:13.

wasn't something everyone would choose to do. She was a very good

:05:13.:05:17.

all-round athlete anyway, very well co-ordinated, very good runner, so

:05:17.:05:27.

once she got the basics, she got The actual Olympic experience was

:05:27.:05:31.

so much bigger than I had anticipated. We have lots of talks

:05:31.:05:35.

about how it was going to be a different experience, and I did not

:05:35.:05:39.

really believe half of it, it is just another race, I will just turn

:05:39.:05:42.

up and do what I do every time, but it was just incredible, the

:05:43.:05:47.

experience. When I first went to the stadium, there was this big

:05:47.:05:51.

stand in front of you, and I remember thinking, oh my goodness,

:05:51.:05:58.

this is all for us! The day that I remember the final, I had a massive

:05:58.:06:02.

rush of butterflies, energy, and just like, my gosh, this is it, the

:06:02.:06:10.

countdown fell so slow. Oh my goodness, I went off the start. I

:06:10.:06:15.

hit 83, I thought, gosh, I have got to keep it together. There was this

:06:15.:06:19.

disastrous part where I missed a gate, and the commentator said any

:06:19.:06:23.

chance of a medal was over. challenge for a medal has

:06:23.:06:30.

disappeared. I ended up in fourth place. The end was nerve-wracking,

:06:30.:06:34.

wasn't it, because of the way the results came in? It was my own

:06:34.:06:39.

mistake, to finish 4th is good, but it is disappointing. It was halfway

:06:39.:06:42.

through that interview that I heard a screaming noise from my physio,

:06:42.:06:47.

very high-pitched lady, I looked across, and on the scoreboards it

:06:47.:06:51.

had popped up that I was third. team wanted to have a chat with

:06:51.:06:57.

them. I have got a medal somehow! From that point, it was just a

:06:57.:07:01.

roller-coaster. Helen Reeves has got the bronze medal, and the

:07:01.:07:11.
:07:11.:07:17.

French are relegated into 44 star My five-year-old son is going to be

:07:17.:07:21.

absolutely delighted that we are showing his next sport, about nine

:07:21.:07:25.

miles outside of the Olympic Park is the White Water Centre where

:07:25.:07:29.

spectators are lining the rapids waiting to see if Britain's David

:07:29.:07:33.

Florence can get through the semi- finals of the C1 class slalom

:07:33.:07:38.

canoeing. Jonathan Edwards is at the water's edge with Helen, the

:07:38.:07:43.

start of that last film. Helen, it was the double!

:07:43.:07:47.

Hello, I was relaying that PCs to Helen through my earpiece, because

:07:47.:07:53.

she has not got an earpiece. You remember hitting Gates 34 star Yes,

:07:53.:08:03.

it is not the one to hit, I could see it with the nose of my boat.

:08:03.:08:06.

that was the worst of my errors, it would have been better than what I

:08:06.:08:11.

got. It was always a troublesome course, and that is what happens,

:08:11.:08:15.

there is so much going on, you have to control every step of the way

:08:15.:08:21.

and get to the end on the best possible run. It is a three here,

:08:21.:08:25.

but it is finals day, there is a real buzz, you wish you were at

:08:25.:08:31.

there? I wish I could be at the start line with the same for my hat

:08:31.:08:36.

in Athens, but I could not handled it in front of this crowd. That is

:08:37.:08:42.

what we have seen, massive support. Yes, sitting on the start line,

:08:42.:08:46.

then names get an ounce, their profile goes up on the screen and

:08:46.:08:51.

the crowd goes wild, which must be amazing. -- men names get announced.

:08:51.:08:56.

Richard Hounslow said it is amazing, when the crowd go up in Rawes, it

:08:56.:09:01.

is fantastic. David Florence had a silver medal four years ago. How

:09:01.:09:06.

excited should we be about his prospects? Very excited. In the

:09:06.:09:10.

heats, he did not have a fantastic time on the first runs, the nerves

:09:10.:09:14.

really got to him, he was the first British competitor down the course,

:09:14.:09:19.

and the Crown would never have known what it was going to do, so

:09:19.:09:25.

it took him a while to get into his stride. He has had two more runs in

:09:25.:09:29.

the C2 class heats, so we will be feeling more confident today, he

:09:29.:09:34.

will know what to expect. There is a lot in it, it will suit him, it

:09:34.:09:38.

is technical, and he is good at controlling the moves. I think the

:09:38.:09:43.

nerves should be in the bag and settled. The course has changed to

:09:43.:09:48.

the semi-final, they think it will be a little bit slower, but only

:09:48.:09:53.

one run. 12 go in the semi-final, eight and a final, so there is no

:09:53.:09:58.

room for mistakes. Absolutely, that is what makes it so exciting, it is

:09:58.:10:02.

one run that counts, they will have to get it right. They will have

:10:02.:10:06.

watched the demonstration runs, worked out their options. There are

:10:06.:10:10.

a couple of places where there is an option, and depending on whether

:10:10.:10:16.

you are right-handed or left-handed, that will depend on what you do.

:10:16.:10:21.

One of the things they say about canoe slant is that it is an on the

:10:21.:10:28.

day's sport, but only two athletes have won the gold medals. They

:10:28.:10:32.

present a real challenge to him, don't they? They are both

:10:32.:10:35.

incredible, but they are not unbeatable, they have been beaten

:10:35.:10:41.

in World Cups, World Championships, but not in the Olympic Games! It is

:10:41.:10:45.

all about there for the others, and the pressure is on them to recreate

:10:45.:10:50.

what they have done in past Olympic Games. What do you think David's

:10:50.:10:54.

approach will they? As I say, the top eight go through. Is he going

:10:54.:10:59.

to keep something back for the final? No, he will go all out. Only

:10:59.:11:03.

eight go through, so they all have to go out. They cannot afford to be

:11:03.:11:09.

holding back, what if they made a mistake later than the cause? It

:11:09.:11:14.

will be all out, and I guess you may possibly see if somebody does a

:11:14.:11:17.

fantastically accurate to run, they may take it a little bit easier to

:11:17.:11:22.

the finish line, but I'm not sure that anyone will do that, take that

:11:22.:11:28.

chance. Thanks for the moment. That semi-final goes of very shortly. In

:11:28.:11:38.
:11:38.:11:56.

case you're not an expert, he is The aim is to negotiate a course

:11:56.:12:00.

marked by slalom gates cleanly and as quickly as possible without

:12:00.:12:07.

touching the polls. For a clean passage, the head of the panel must

:12:07.:12:11.

travel fully between the two polls. Part of the boat must be inside

:12:11.:12:16.

them. If anything touches one of the polls, a two-second penalty is

:12:16.:12:21.

incurred. Capsizing is not penalised. But if you miss a gate,

:12:21.:12:27.

50 seconds will be added to the total time. 82 athletes compete for

:12:27.:12:32.

four gold medals. The numbers are reduced through heats, semi-finals

:12:32.:12:36.

and ultimately the finals. They will perform two runs during the

:12:36.:12:39.

heats, with the best one deciding whether they progress for are

:12:39.:12:44.

eliminated. The semi-finalists start with a clear slate and are

:12:44.:12:48.

judged on a single run. The final 10 competitors are right on another

:12:48.:12:58.
:12:58.:13:03.

single run to determine who takes OK, just a reminder that David goes

:13:03.:13:08.

8th of 12. All he has to do is get into the final. Anyway, your

:13:08.:13:12.

commentators are Paul Dickenson and Dan out of breath Helen Reeves

:13:12.:13:18.

after running up to the commentary We are jet getting a bird's-eye

:13:18.:13:24.

view of the course at the moment. It has been increased by one extra

:13:24.:13:28.

gate, but that does not really tell the story. Helen Reeves has rushed

:13:28.:13:33.

back to the commentary box, and she can explain a little bit more about

:13:33.:13:42.

physically demanding during the heats, but I think the competitors

:13:42.:13:46.

are going to be surprised once they go down the course this afternoon,

:13:46.:13:54.

to realise just how technically demanding it is going to be, Helen.

:13:54.:13:58.

Absolutely, the cause has increased in difficulty, and I think also

:13:58.:14:03.

physically it will be quite a challenge. We have seen there are

:14:03.:14:11.

now six upstream gates that are in the eddies. So it is going to be

:14:11.:14:14.

quite a technical challenge for them to decide what to do, and it

:14:14.:14:19.

will slow the boat down, so I would expect to see slower times than we

:14:19.:14:25.

saw in the heats. Helen is still a little bit out of breath! But never

:14:25.:14:33.

mind. Here is the start list. On the second page, we will get David

:14:33.:14:37.

Florence of Great Britain. The French and starting at number six,

:14:37.:14:42.

former double Olympic champion. -- the Frenchman. Then we have got

:14:42.:14:47.

some real class, one of the fastest men in the heats, the man from

:14:47.:14:52.

Slovenia, and last to go, the amazing man himself Mikhail

:14:52.:14:56.

Martikan of Slovakia, double Olympic champion from Atlanta, when

:14:56.:15:02.

he was just 17 years old. As the first man that we are going to say

:15:02.:15:07.

this afternoon, just to remind you, it is only the top eight that go

:15:07.:15:13.

through, and there is only one run allowed in the semi-final. The

:15:13.:15:18.

Australian has done incredibly well to make his team and to make the

:15:18.:15:24.

semi-final, ranked only 40th in the world. He qualified for the

:15:24.:15:28.

Australian team at his fourth attempt, so we must be on a bit of

:15:28.:15:33.

a high, Helen. Absolutely, and he has got quite a smooth start, but

:15:33.:15:37.

he has picked up a penalty already, and he will want to be accurate, he

:15:37.:15:47.
:15:47.:15:49.

does not want to pick up any more downstream is in the eddies, so

:15:49.:15:52.

they have to push around and get out into the flow and across the

:15:52.:15:57.

river. They go from one very difficult portion of the course to

:15:57.:16:03.

another. After that early penalty, the Australian is going pretty well

:16:03.:16:13.
:16:13.:16:13.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

:16:13.:16:55.

course, having to come across the will be the target for David

:16:55.:17:02.

Florence and everybody else. The clock stops to include his two-

:17:02.:17:09.

second Panel two point. He can be very proud of what he has achieved.

:17:09.:17:14.

-- penalty point. A very good effort but can everybody else beat

:17:14.:17:18.

him? Very smooth put on the first gate he took a touch very early on

:17:19.:17:22.

which would have put him on the back foot. He had to make sure he

:17:22.:17:29.

did not make any errors further down the course. Huge support for

:17:29.:17:39.
:17:39.:17:39.

the Australians. They have set the standard. 300 metres back up the

:17:39.:17:45.

course, our first glimpse this afternoon of the Chinese athlete.

:17:45.:17:49.

People were surprised when this man made the semi-final but he is a

:17:49.:17:55.

double Asian champion. He also won a gold medal in the Asian Games a

:17:55.:18:00.

couple of years ago. He finished 6th at last year's World

:18:00.:18:06.

Championships, Seve has shown form in recent years. -- so he has shown.

:18:06.:18:10.

I saw him warming up in, water and he looked technically proficient

:18:10.:18:20.
:18:20.:18:24.

the final for the first time in his life. He is keeping the boat nice

:18:24.:18:34.
:18:34.:18:56.

A right handed paddler. Going for another 10 seems to be done

:18:56.:19:02.

backwards because it gives you an entry to the next gate. 13 is

:19:02.:19:12.
:19:12.:19:31.

proving to be difficult. Can he as possible to stop it slowing him

:19:31.:19:41.
:19:41.:20:08.

the Australian. That was a good time by the Australian. A nervous

:20:08.:20:18.
:20:18.:20:23.

20 minutes before the Chinese wise he seemed to be lacking.

:20:23.:20:27.

and he decided to do it two spins on the course and the Australian

:20:27.:20:37.
:20:37.:20:38.

only did one. The next two paddlers will be on the left-hand side so it

:20:38.:20:48.

is interesting to see what they do at 9, 10, 11 and also 18. Five more

:20:48.:20:51.

athletes before we see the appearance of the Beijing Olympics

:20:51.:20:57.

silver medallist David Florence. And two before him goes the double

:20:57.:21:04.

Olympic champion from Sydney in 2000 and Athens, 2004, Tony

:21:04.:21:14.
:21:14.:21:25.

four years ago. He looked very good in the heats. He made it to the

:21:25.:21:28.

semi-final quite comfortably. Not accumulating too many penalties on

:21:28.:21:38.
:21:38.:21:59.

penalty. That will do him some damage for sure. He came second at

:21:59.:22:06.

the World Cup competition at the new course in Cardiff. David

:22:06.:22:13.

Florence really did like that course. He won in two classes. This

:22:13.:22:23.
:22:23.:22:31.

lack of concentration going over the drop. He entered the Eddie

:22:31.:22:41.
:22:41.:22:52.

quite high and the bow out popped finals, two seconds is not too bad

:22:52.:22:56.

but four can make all the difference. He is outside the time

:22:56.:23:00.

set by Australia. That puts him in third place and three men have

:23:00.:23:05.

competed so far. The Russia not too happy. His chances of going through

:23:05.:23:13.

to the final of pretty slim. will be hoping that some other

:23:13.:23:17.

athletes make some mistakes. Two seconds of penalties will cost him

:23:17.:23:22.

quite hard, I think. He spins at gate 10, which is why he picked up

:23:22.:23:29.

one of the penalties. They are not long strokes, but they are

:23:29.:23:34.

significant. He crashed into the second penalty, coming off the fast

:23:34.:23:44.
:23:44.:23:56.

water. Those four penalties very impressive in at the heats. He

:23:56.:24:00.

finished 5th in the final four years ago in Beijing. Bronze

:24:00.:24:03.

medallist at the World Championships a good few years ago

:24:03.:24:09.

now, but he was the overall World Cup winner last year. We have seen

:24:09.:24:19.
:24:19.:24:34.

him fly down the course during the he caught the poll and picked up at

:24:34.:24:44.
:24:44.:24:45.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

:24:45.:25:32.

his second penalty. He needs to one at 18. The advantage that he

:25:32.:25:36.

had over the Australian 20 seconds ago is almost gone with that his

:25:36.:25:46.
:25:46.:25:58.

The Czech Republic finish at 104.37, below the Australian time, so he

:25:58.:26:04.

goes into the lead. If my arithmetic is right, he cannot

:26:04.:26:11.

finish lower than 8th now. It was a quick run, the fastest of the day

:26:11.:26:17.

so far. Callas at times, with that first penalty on number five. --

:26:17.:26:23.

careless. We want to see them staying as close to the polls as

:26:23.:26:31.

possible. They need to know where they are and not get off-track.

:26:31.:26:35.

everybody else beats his time he can finish in 9th, forgive me, so

:26:35.:26:41.

not guaranteed a place in the final. Not as good as his heats, but this

:26:41.:26:51.
:26:51.:27:02.

is a different course. The Czech silver medallist last year. A

:27:02.:27:09.

currently ranks 24 and he appears to be competing above his fighting

:27:09.:27:19.
:27:19.:27:19.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

:27:19.:29:11.

Czech Republic athlete is through to the final, still in first place.

:29:11.:29:18.

This man finds himself in a possible elimination situation.

:29:18.:29:28.
:29:28.:29:31.

Here he is tight on at the post, and eclipse it with his paddle. --

:29:31.:29:40.

he clips it. Trying to find a nice rhythm. You want to see the nose

:29:40.:29:50.
:29:50.:29:56.

coming up and under the posts and years, this man was the defending

:29:56.:30:02.

Olympic champion. He won twice in a row, in Sydney and 2000, and Athens

:30:02.:30:08.

2004. But he totally blew it in the Olympic semi-final of 2008 in

:30:08.:30:14.

Beijing. What is Tony Estanguet of France going to do this time? He is

:30:14.:30:21.

for the final. Tony Estanguet has dropped a little bit of time on the

:31:21.:31:30.

leader, just drifting across to 19. He dropped off between the

:31:30.:31:34.

downstream and upstream gate. But he did have a bit of time on his

:31:35.:31:39.

hands, he needs to get out quickly and get the most tracking to drive

:31:39.:31:44.

all the way to the finish. The time looks good, and he is without

:31:44.:31:50.

penalties at the moment, looking good for France and Tony Estanguet.

:31:50.:31:56.

Comfortably in first place. So he has not made the same errors that

:31:56.:32:01.

he made four years ago in Beijing, and once again the great man is in

:32:01.:32:09.

the Olympic final. The really showed his class at there, looking

:32:09.:32:13.

smooth and controlled in the top section. He lost a little bit of

time on the bottom sections, but the top section was so smoothly

this is a real sheet out, hopefully not just between Nos two, but to

Florence, as we watch the replay of the Spaniard. He is number eight

:35:20.:35:24.

down this course. He has the number four next to his name, as the crowd

:35:24.:35:30.

goes absolutely wild, he has just been introduced. If the finish is

:35:30.:35:40.
:35:40.:35:45.

no worse than 4th, is definitely Beijing. The man who wanted to be

category but in the C2 class with Richard Hounslow, and both of those

picking up penalties, as is said, it is about making sure that the

run on the boat is maintained so that we do not lose the speed and

what happens. The needs at least two of the remaining four

competitors to produce worse results than his, and of course

:38:44.:38:49.

when you have got the double Olympic champion in there and the

:38:49.:38:54.

bronze-medallists from the European champion, the Japanese is looking

very smooth, and a German, a former European champion, oh, it is down

His fortunes were mixed in the heats, brilliant first-round, and

Florence and the British supporters. This is a very tidy run indeed by

in the frame to be one of the favourites to lift the title.

:41:11.:41:14.

looked like he got after a shaky start at the beginning, where he

:41:14.:41:18.

got his nose caught, but he found his rhythm on the latter part of

the course, and he just gained speed throughout. And that means
