BBC Two: Day 4: 18.00-19.00 Olympics

Welcome to Olympic Park. We have beach volleyball, the British women

in action and the latest from the sailing. If you're looking for the

women's team event gymnastics it is now on BBC Three for the final

rotation. But these are the headlines from today. Great Britain

land a brilliant silver medal in the team eventing competition but

it missed out on the individual medals. Good form at Eton Dorney

continues. There is disappointment for Beijing's silver-medallist,

the last 16 of the men's tennis with another straight sets win. So,

this is what we have coming up. Next is Great Britain against Italy

at the beach volleyball. Then the latest news at 6:30pm it with

Just a reminder on BBC Three, the women's team final with the final

rotation and Beth Tweddle on the uneven bars. Plenty of options on

the red button as well, including tennis. We are now off to the beach

volleyball. We are fans of this. Are you ready for the music,

Mexican waves and the sport. Not what you would expect in the back

garden of Number Ten Downing Street. The British women kicked off their

campaign with an outstanding win against Canada. Zara Dampney and

Shauna Mullin face the European champions of Italy. We can join it

in the first set. 11-10 and It is an ace! Great start for Great

Britain. It refers ace for the British pair. Forcing the Italian

After the drama of Sunday afternoon, a nail-biting victory over the

Canadians, the crowds have come in expecting more of the same. It was

always going to be a tall order against the highly rated Italian

pair and so it has proved. Great Britain had them in check in the

first set but it has been a one- sided second. Menegatti serving.

Nothing is going right for Mullin This looks better. It was well

picked up. Menegatti was right there and she came sprinting

Horseguards Parade this afternoon. They have enjoyed the occasion.

Lots of noise and as ever a fabulous atmosphere. The Italians

have won in straight sets. What happened, you got off to an

absolute flyer? The crowd were amazing. The Italians played very

well. We needed to push further in the second set. We are disappointed,

but we need to pick ourselves up. It was an extremely tight first

set? We played well, but the second set, I could not hold up to the

pressure. You have played the Italians four times and you have

not beaten them. But you came out looking like you fancied it today?

We have usually had very good matches. We need to do what we did

in the first set a little bit more. If you had beaten the Italians, you

would have gone top of the group, are you confident you can get to

the final stage? We have Russia next on Thursday. We are going to

go home and watch the video, and work on it and come back fighting

on Thursday. This is my 8th venue of the London 2012 experience and

this is the best. This place rocks. The atmosphere is amazing. It is

amazing to have the home support, we don't have it very often and we

love it. We met this time last year for a test event, this place has

changed? 10 times more people. You get a great atmosphere on the court.

It is an amazing atmosphere and we have the best venue. Best of luck

on Thursday. Victory on Thursday will ensure

they go through to the knockout stage and even if they lose they

could go through as one of the 4th lucky losers. Another four gold

medals to be decided at the aquatic centre. Now the latest news from

the sailing. Defending Olympic champions, Andrew "Bart" Simpson

and Iain Percy were the only British sailors to shine.

We are in the heart of the competition and all three of our

Olympic defending gold-medallist are in action. Alison Young, 24

years old, one of the last to be picked for Team GB, had a day she

to make it a number three, is she? Along way to go. As Great Britain

come round, Alison Young from Great Britain heart on her heels. Mexico

was feeling the pressure from behind. She held her nerve. Alison

copy of the third. The Irish sailor managed to sail away from the fleet

with Alison Young in the chasing pack. Alison Young needing all of

her tactical nous to see off her rival. Alison Young is in the

leading pack. Talking to Ben Ainslie and he has huge respect.

She is battling in the front of this fleet with the wind behind.

One boat to making the move, Spain is on the attack, forcing her to

swerve. Very aggressive sailing from the Spaniard. Other sailors in

this fleet are seeing the new girl as a real threat. Alison Young is

making her mark. The Irish sailor maintain her unblemished record in

Weymouth, taking her 4th win in a row. Alison Young, took another

second place, launching her up the overall standings to 4th. Many

It has been a tough day, but you were flying? Great day out there,

two seconds, and a great place to build the rest of the regatta from.

Did it feel as though a few nerves had settled down? I started better

today and made life a bit easier. How surprised are you by the Irish

girl? You don't expect someone to come to an Olympic regatta and win

the first four races on the bounce? She is quick in the breeze is, she

has proved that. Could you have envisaged before the regatta began

he would be in this position coming up to the halfway point? Definitely

not. There are so many good competitors. I have been trying to

take it race by race, not make many mistakes and keep it simple. We are

talking about how many British fans there are, but we saw quite a few

Irish fans, could you hear them? Yes, it was my family and any other

Irish people they could gather together.

Great excitement for Britain would Alison Young on the cusp of the top

were in action. There is a lot to Alison Young was good news, Iain

Percy and Andrew Simpson past the halfway mark in the regatta in

second place. With a day after Myra, Bayley the Star class by four

points. You have laid down a marker you are here with intent to defend

your title? We are definitely here to defend our title. They are only

four points behind and they won't stand by to let us have this one,

it will be a fight to the end. Things started well, but a capsize

ruin their chances later in the day. The only good news came in the form

of a capsize from their rivals, Australia. They ended up taking our

win, and we were not locked into the boat because we were coming out

of a manoeuvre. Basically made a mistake. The British trio had a

battle with the French medal hope. That went their way and they lie

joint 4th in their group. In the men's Laser, a story that started

badly for Paul Goodison yesterday when he could not get into the top

10, got even worse today when he came 16th. He rallied to post a

second place, but he emerged on the slipway almost in tears following

the reoccurrence of a back injury. Not the way his rival wants to take

the gold? I know he has had problems in the past with his back.

I want him to do well and I hope he gets some good physiotherapy

tonight and is feeling better tomorrow. We have had our

differences but you don't want to see anyone in pain. You probably

noticed that there is one sailor we have not told you about. Ben

Ainslie was back in action and he's has spent the last four races

behind the day in this -- Danish sailor. He was looking to

comfortable in the gold medal position and Ben Ainslie went out

to change that today. Head ing out to the Racecourse and

before the start Ben Ainslie had the Danish sailor in his sights.

Denmark look to be in clear wind at the bottom of your picture. It

wasn't a perfect start for Ben Ainslie. He is heading a way to the

other side of the course. Whilst he was struggling in 21st, the Danish

way in the leading pack. At the second mark, the great Dane was

leading, but Ben Ainslie had made ground. The Danish sailor rounds

the top mark. Ben Ainslie coming round. He will be in third place.

His see inside the Spanish solar? He is. He is a two-second and

chasing the man from Denmark. What can he do now. And what the wind

behind, Ben Ainslie is often in a class of his own. But at London

2012 he has met his match. Downwind with the wind behind, Ben Ainslie

is in a different league to everyone else. That is what we said

on the first day, but I don't think we are saying it now because the

Danish sailor is looking very slippery. The Danish sailor is

looking good upwind and down wind, it is troubling. Ben Ainslie

finished 4th. Denmark is about to finish. Race 5, then Mark when and

Ben Ainslie is inside the top five. It is a good result by any

standards, except the standards he set himself today. Today was about

going out to try and beat the Danish sailor who is getting a grip

on a class Ben Ainslie has dominated for so many years. The

Danish sailor has beaten Ben Ainslie in every single race.

the final race, things were much closer. 200m from the finish. Ben

Ainslie is in third. Can he get past the Danish sailor for the

first time? He is trying. He is not going to do it. Six races, Ainslie

beaten in every single one. That was better than yesterday. But this

Dame is proving elusive? He is sailing really well. He is on fire

at the moment. Where ever he goes on the course pays off. Credit to

him. I can only do the best I can do. I gave it everything today. It

was better, but it needs to be better for the remaining races.

is a strange position for you to be, because if you dismount your 12th

place, it is a good card? It is not bad, but it is about winning. In

most events, if you want to win you have to win a few races. I need to

pick the game up and hopefully get some better races. Be honest, have

you surprised yourself so far in this a Olympic regatta? Yes, for

sure. Coming in and after six races having won three of them and two

seconds, you could not ask for any more. I'm very happy and very

pleased and a little bit surprised. You have got a twinkle in your eye,

do you believe you can win this regatta? Yes, I do believe. I think

we talked before the regatta and I said I believe I could win it back

then as well. Now it is looking a bit better. They are still four

races to go, Ben Ainslie is not that far behind. It is still open.

We will take it will one day at a time, have a nice rest tomorrow and

be back on Thursday. You so often demonstrate an iron will to win, do

you believe you can still produce this magic moments we are so

craving on Sunday? I will keep going until the end, what ever

happens. It won't change. Hopefully he has had it all his way so far

this week, hopefully he has if you tough races. It is never over until

the fat lady sings. Let's hope the fat lady sings. Far Olympic knew, -

- new,, Alison Young a fantastic start. Concerned that Beijing gold-

medallist, Paul Goodison with his back injury. We wish him all the

best. For Ben Ainslie, he has passed the halfway stage and is yet

to beat his Danish rival. He has the day after Myra, so plenty of

time for contemplation. I don't know if you have seen the weather

forecast but it looks pretty windy in Weymouth and Portland. Whatever

happens, there will be plenty of We will be back with all of the
