:05:40. > :05:44.trying to lose have been disqualified. We will bring you
:05:44. > :05:54.more news on that in just a while. First, to the time trial to see how
:05:54. > :05:57.
:05:57. > :06:03.things are going for Emma Pooley the first time check in this
:06:03. > :06:08.women's 29 kilometre test against the clock. It comes at 9.1
:06:08. > :06:18.kilometres. You can see the leg speed and a businesslike approach.
:06:18. > :06:26.She is in good form. The lead at the 20 kilometres point was from
:06:26. > :06:31.Finland. 28 minutes and 51 seconds. They are all four out on the road
:06:31. > :06:35.in this Test against the clock. They start at 1.5 minute intervals
:06:35. > :06:40.and the rules are very simple. Cover the course in the quickest
:06:40. > :06:50.time possible. This is Emma Vandyke from the Netherlands, who rode very
:06:50. > :06:53.
:06:53. > :06:56.well in the road race. -- Ellen Van quarters behind because they are
:06:56. > :07:02.not allowed to go past the rider for fear of giving them shelter
:07:02. > :07:06.from the motorbikes in these southerly winds. Lizzie Armitstead
:07:06. > :07:10.is coming up to that checkpoint, outside the first best time but
:07:10. > :07:16.still respectable. She is not a time trial specialist but she will
:07:16. > :07:21.try as hard as she can to post a top 10 time. The crowd giving her
:07:21. > :07:26.tremendous support. Lizzie Armitstead 9th at that time split
:07:26. > :07:32.of 9.1 kilometres. Look at the crowd at the British flags. She
:07:32. > :07:42.must be enjoying this. She has already got a silver medal in her
:07:42. > :07:42.
:07:42. > :08:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:08:25. > :08:32.She is the current World Champion. She has got medals in their pocket
:08:32. > :08:37.from the Olympic Games in previous years. Silver at Athens. She is a
:08:37. > :08:41.polished performer. The Olympic road race champion, Marianne Vos.
:08:41. > :08:45.She started like a rocket from the starting house. But she is settling
:08:45. > :08:51.down a bit now. Both those riders on the road for less than 10
:08:51. > :08:56.minutes now, and you could not see a more contrasting style. Judith
:08:56. > :09:02.Arndt sat down, pacing her effort, Marianne Vos in and out of the
:09:02. > :09:04.saddle. She is very much a sprinter. She likes to see her competitors.
:09:04. > :09:09.Respectable in the time trial and certainly on form but I would be
:09:09. > :09:19.surprised if she is in the medals today. Approaching the next time
:09:19. > :09:19.
:09:19. > :09:29.split here, Johansson from Sweden. The silver medal winner for the
:09:29. > :09:35.

:09:45. > :09:57.
:09:57. > :10:03.smooth style. Keep an eye on this split time, because this is the
:10:03. > :10:10.former World Champion. She is not as quick as Olga Zabelinskaya. In
:10:10. > :10:16.fact, that is quite modest from the USA. I am surprised. She is still
:10:16. > :10:19.settling into the race. She worked hard in the road race at the
:10:19. > :10:24.weekend. I would have thought she would be quicker than Olga
:10:24. > :10:27.Zabelinskaya, but there we are. Over the rest of the course she
:10:27. > :10:36.could deliver. We get back to the defending champion, Kristin
:10:36. > :10:46.Armstrong. She looks to be using a low gear. That is evidence of
:10:46. > :10:52.somebody in good form, pedalling at that time cadence rate. -- high
:10:52. > :10:59.cadence rate. Emma Pooley, what is she going to do? The fastest time
:10:59. > :11:09.at the first split has been 13.14. 13.46, we are under 14 minutes.
:11:09. > :11:10.
:11:10. > :11:16.Emma Pooley as the quickest at this point. Diminutive inside, she flies
:11:17. > :11:20.along, but quickest at this first split. She will be pacing her ride
:11:20. > :11:28.correctly. That is the split time and she is quickest by seven
:11:28. > :11:35.seconds. That is a significant margin at this point. Fastest and
:11:35. > :11:45.benign, to split. Good riding by an appalling. -- fastest at the nine
:11:45. > :11:46.
:11:46. > :11:56.kilometres split. Good writing by disappointed if she comes away
:11:56. > :12:11.
:12:11. > :12:21.next point. She is shifting around in the shadow, not quite as
:12:21. > :12:23.
:12:23. > :12:33.comfortable as in the opening few road as well. Looks to be in a much
:12:33. > :12:48.
:12:48. > :12:52.lower beer than the other minutes and one second. Of course
:12:52. > :13:02.they are the current leaders of the competition, going first. Olga
:13:02. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :13:22.Zabelinskaya is getting towards the check is around 40 kilometres an
:13:22. > :13:22.
:13:22. > :13:26.hour. So faster coming back. Amber Neben at the next check. She is
:13:26. > :13:33.being chased by Emma Pooley. Good seeding in the closing stages of
:13:33. > :13:43.the time trial. Marianne Vos is yet to arrive at the first split at
:13:43. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:53.bit of Judith Arndt, which is what we are interested in. -- time at
:13:53. > :14:03.Split. We hope it will be close to Emma Pooley, still in with a shot
:14:03. > :14:18.
:14:18. > :14:28.Hughes has gone through in 14.05. At the line, to point, the first
:14:28. > :14:33.
:14:33. > :14:38.speech check on the court, Emma Pooley is in third. Perhaps not the
:14:38. > :14:43.best start for Emma Pooley but very much in contention. I do not see
:14:43. > :14:47.Marianne Vos going quicker than those times. I'm looking at Judith
:14:47. > :14:54.Arndt and Armstrong, the last two on the road, to put Emma Pooley
:14:54. > :15:00.under pressure. Good riding from Hughes, she won the gold in the
:15:00. > :15:10.5,000m. Very strong in the road race. This is a great course for
:15:10. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:18.her. She likes the Flat courses. Powerful. Very pleased with that.
:15:18. > :15:25.Concentrating on Olga Zabelinskaya. Two finishes in, at the moment. At
:15:25. > :15:35.9.1 kilometres, the splits confirmed for us. Hughes's second,
:15:35. > :15:41.
:15:41. > :15:47.Emma Pooley in 14.06. That is very you do not get to stop and recover.
:15:47. > :15:54.He carried fatty through the whole race. -- You carry fatigue through
:15:54. > :15:58.the whole race. Marianne Vos is not going to threaten the three medal
:15:58. > :16:07.positions here at the first time a split. Three have completed the
:16:07. > :16:11.course, and still leading his Sundstedt. Liesbet de Vocht of
:16:11. > :16:16.Belgium is third. The right by Marianne Vos is not going to be a
:16:16. > :16:21.right that is going to give her a medal, but she will enjoy the
:16:21. > :16:27.occasion, having already won gold in the road race. She lost a
:16:27. > :16:37.massive amount of time Judy the enthusiastic start that she made,
:16:37. > :16:37.
:16:37. > :17:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:17:34. > :17:37.almost like a sprint finish the. happy with that. One more to come
:17:37. > :17:41.through the first time split, and that is going to be Kristin
:17:41. > :17:47.Armstrong, waiting for the defending champion now. We can show
:17:47. > :17:56.you the effort here, the finishing effort of Pia Sundstedt of Finland,
:17:56. > :18:00.here she comes. She is coming up to the line, and that is Tatiana
:18:00. > :18:07.Antoshina, who goes second, 11 seconds slower than the time of Pia
:18:07. > :18:11.Sundstedt. Here is Arndt, the German, going well. She is riding
:18:11. > :18:15.well, and she was tipped as favourite, but at the top of the
:18:15. > :18:22.show we were talking about how her time-trial form is not as good as
:18:22. > :18:28.it has been in the past. The time for Arndt at that 9.1 kilometre
:18:28. > :18:32.point was the same as Pooley, as we look for the arrival of the
:18:32. > :18:38.defending champion, Kristin Armstrong, going well. She has made
:18:38. > :18:44.a very positive start, Armstrong coming in with an impressive time.
:18:44. > :18:49.Well, just one seconds clear, so all to play for there. Villumsen is
:18:49. > :18:54.so close behind, and the next split will be so telling. Some riders go
:18:54. > :18:58.too quickly, some take a while to get into the race, so this is a
:18:58. > :19:05.first indication of who is in the game, but the next cheque will tell
:19:05. > :19:15.us who is playing for the medals. All the riders are on the rowed now,
:19:15. > :19:28.
:19:28. > :19:35.9.1 kilometres, Armstrong went game in the second section of the
:19:35. > :19:40.time-trial, 4th at the moment, 14.06. Well, she is just one second,
:19:40. > :19:45.Pooley, off being on the podium, so it is all to play for. This course
:19:45. > :19:49.is not ideal for her, but she is a fighter, and she wants to use this
:19:49. > :19:53.opportunity to ride on British roads in Olympic Games, a once-in-
:19:53. > :19:57.a-lifetime opportunity for all of these competitors. She will make
:19:57. > :20:02.the most of it. I will tell you what, there is a real battle
:20:02. > :20:06.beginning to unfold on the road. The crowds are way too close. She
:20:06. > :20:11.is getting a significant benefit from that car, I cannot believe it
:20:11. > :20:16.is being allowed. That will massively affect results here.
:20:16. > :20:19.is almost tucked in behind it! is very unusual in a time-trial.
:20:20. > :20:24.Yes, the referees will have something to say about that, I feel
:20:24. > :20:29.sure, as we get back to Armstrong, but all the stars of his time-trial
:20:29. > :20:37.have already shown the form they are in, and the riders we expected
:20:37. > :20:47.to challenge our or figuring strongly. -- are all figuring
:20:47. > :21:04.
:21:04. > :21:08.5th for her. And here is the cash, so Judith Arndt has caught Marianne
:21:08. > :21:13.Vos for one and a half minutes, and ahead of her there will be clear
:21:13. > :21:18.road. She will have to set about chasing the next Ryder, whom she is
:21:18. > :21:24.not going to catch, because that will be Villumsen of New Zealand.
:21:24. > :21:29.Marianne Vos is obliged to believe over 10m, so there is no potential
:21:29. > :21:35.for taking assistance, as we switch back to Emma Pooley on one of the
:21:35. > :21:44.downhill sections. She has chosen to use the same training as Bradley
:21:44. > :21:52.Wiggins. -- Jane Eyre reign. Russian is the new leader. She has
:21:52. > :22:02.had a good steady ride throughout. She will be pleased with that, a
:22:02. > :22:05.
:22:06. > :22:14.good ride by her after that time- trial performance. The time for
:22:14. > :22:19.Zabelinskaya, the first ride and a 40 minutes, so pretty consistent.
:22:19. > :22:29.46 kph average, slightly faster than I predicted. This is going to
:22:29. > :22:55.
:22:55. > :23:00.be a fast race. The men's event style boards at the side of the
:23:00. > :23:04.road to give the riders information at certain points on the course. So
:23:04. > :23:11.they will be looking out for them, they will know where they are going
:23:11. > :23:17.to show them. Pooley wants to try and eradicate the deficit, it was
:23:17. > :23:27.pretty slight from the previous Czechs, but it would be nice to
:23:27. > :23:34.assert her authority here. -- Check. Here comes Amber Neben, overhauling
:23:34. > :23:40.the rider who started ahead of her, Emma Johansson. Let's have a look
:23:40. > :23:48.at the splits time for Amber Neben, showing second. We can see the
:23:48. > :23:58.Canadian coming in to finish, the young Canadian, Ramsden. A bat is a
:23:58. > :24:05.
:24:05. > :24:15.British crowd, applauding everybody. the UK, almost a separate sport in
:24:15. > :24:22.
:24:22. > :24:29.trialling circuit. Strong time trialling background, my first race
:24:29. > :24:33.aged 13 was a 10 mile ride against the clock. So Judith Arndt, well,
:24:33. > :24:38.with the bit between her teeth, she has already overhauled Marianne Vos
:24:38. > :24:46.and has one minute back to Armstrong. The difference in styles
:24:46. > :24:52.between those two, Arndt is very still, whereas Armstrong seems to
:24:52. > :24:57.roll a lot. The British team are set up at five kilometres, giving
:24:57. > :25:07.Emma Pooley her first track. She is well past that now. The next
:25:07. > :25:14.
:25:14. > :25:21.timecheck for Pooley. 27 minutes and 47 seconds, the second quickest
:25:21. > :25:28.split of the day at the 20km point. The deficit is not what she will
:25:28. > :25:32.want. It is quite significant at his point. We will see where she
:25:32. > :25:35.gets to as we get a shot of the leaders in the race, they have to
:25:35. > :25:45.go and sit on those thrones that they have got set out until they
:25:45. > :25:54.
:25:54. > :25:59.Hampton Court. Trixie Worrack coming in now. Good time. She is
:25:59. > :26:08.just within the 40 minute mark, easily, in fact. She goes second at
:26:08. > :26:14.this stage. Zabelinskaya is riding exceptionally well there to post
:26:14. > :26:20.that strong time early on, up 46 kph average as we go back to Clara
:26:20. > :26:24.Hughes. Let's see what kind of time she is going to record, gulping in
:26:24. > :26:31.the air, gritting her teeth, she has certainly got the race fees are
:26:32. > :26:39.and, fastest at that point is Zabelinskaya, who went 27.26,
:26:40. > :26:45.pretty impressive, 17 seconds faster than he used. Now Pooley,
:26:45. > :26:48.27.47, four seconds short of the Canadian's time. Well, the second
:26:48. > :26:53.timecheck is always telling, because the first one, if you do
:26:53. > :26:57.not know whether somebody is pacing themselves, they are all in the
:26:57. > :27:02.next after 10 or 15 minutes of racing, but when you get to 20
:27:02. > :27:06.kilometres, it is starting to sort itself out. But this lady, Kristin
:27:06. > :27:12.Armstrong, she knows how to pace a race, and we can expect a
:27:12. > :27:15.consistent performance from her all the way through. And from villains
:27:15. > :27:21.and as well, so Zabelinskaya, the bronze medal-winner in the road
:27:21. > :27:27.race, has not disappointed. -- Villumsen. We await the arrival of
:27:27. > :27:32.the top seeded riders. That is Zabelinskaya's time at 20
:27:32. > :27:37.kilometres, and Linda Villumsen cars 6.7 seconds off it, quickest
:27:37. > :27:42.at this point. A great ride by her, she will be happy with that, she is
:27:42. > :27:47.on track for a medal here if she can keep the pressure on.
:27:47. > :27:50.seconds faster than Pooley, Villumsen. Emma Pooley is going to
:27:50. > :28:00.have to find something in the closing stages if she wants to hit
:28:00. > :28:06.a podium. The next one coming in, from Sweden, a sprint for the line,
:28:07. > :28:11.and that was Emilia Fahlin, 6th in the competition. It is all about
:28:11. > :28:17.the top riders in the closing stages here, and the one to shoot
:28:17. > :28:21.down his Zabelinskaya of Russia, who picked her pace up. She was
:28:21. > :28:25.sixth in the first split, then she posted the second-fastest time.
:28:25. > :28:28.Those are the hot seats of the first three in the competition,
:28:29. > :28:34.they look comfortable. They are the most grandiose of seats I have ever
:28:34. > :28:37.seen, it must be quite uncomfortable to sit there! Linda
:28:37. > :28:42.Villumsen of New Zealand, second in the world championships in
:28:42. > :28:47.Copenhagen last year, beaten by Arndt. 29 seconds is the difference
:28:47. > :28:51.between them, and she is going well, looking very strong. She does, and
:28:51. > :28:55.she is well suited to this course as well, good cadence there, she
:28:56. > :28:59.has settled in position, and I have no doubt that they will have time
:28:59. > :29:02.checks on root as well to let them know how they are doing, and that
:29:02. > :29:10.has to give you confidence to let you know that you are posting a
:29:10. > :29:14.time like that. Waiting for the arrival of Judith Arndt and Kristin
:29:14. > :29:19.Armstrong. It is really hotting up, this time trial, and it is going to
:29:20. > :29:25.go right down to the wire, very interesting indeed. Linda Villumsen
:29:25. > :29:31.was quickest at the second point, 20.4 kilometres, and Zabelinskaya
:29:31. > :29:38.was second, third was used, 4 fours Pooley. Back to Armstrong on the
:29:38. > :29:43.course, she has settled into this race now. A good cadence there as
:29:43. > :29:47.well. Look at this, a cluster of riders or bunching up, because they
:29:47. > :29:53.have been caught or they have caught the riders ahead of them.
:29:53. > :30:03.The Australian in the next, and that is Shara Gillow. Leading to
:30:03. > :30:03.
:30:03. > :30:12.the line is the Italian, coming to record their times, 38.53, Van Dijk

:30:18. > :30:23.that is the latest finisher coming in, Shara Gillow. We are looking
:30:23. > :30:28.back to the New Zealander, and this of course is Linda Villumsen.
:30:28. > :30:36.Judith Arndt coming around to. We are flicking around the picture is

:30:47. > :30:55.fact, moving up. Fears that the first time split, so a steady ride
:30:55. > :31:00.by her. -- 5th at the first split. Back to Villumsen, still on a nice
:31:00. > :31:06.smooth style. The best riders almost never get out of the saddle,
:31:06. > :31:11.smooth and efficient. It is more of an internal battle, the time-trial.
:31:11. > :31:21.Armstrong. Very, very smooth indeed, just a little bit of a wave of the
:31:21. > :31:24.shoulders, can she beat the time of Villumsen, 27.18? Arndt, 27.21 at
:31:24. > :31:29.the 20 kilometres point. That is the time they are aiming at if they
:31:29. > :31:33.want to move into the lead with the concluding kilometres to wipe away.
:31:33. > :31:43.Lizzie Armitstead getting in the end of her time trial, getting a
:31:43. > :31:46.
:31:46. > :31:51.huge ovation here. Armitstead Zabelinskaya the lead. Well, she
:31:51. > :31:58.did say coming into this that it was an opportunity to ride on home
:31:58. > :32:03.roads without pressure. Armstrong is ahead, 4.8 seconds sliced up the
:32:03. > :32:06.time of the previous leader, Villumsen. She comes to the line,
:32:06. > :32:12.the closing time for Armitstead, 4th at the moment. We are into the
:32:12. > :32:20.concluding stages of his time trial now, let me tell you, at the 20km
:32:20. > :32:24.point, the defending champion from America, Kristin Armstrong, 27.13.
:32:24. > :32:32.The New Zealander is second, Villumsen. Clara Hughes was there
:32:32. > :32:37.in 4th position on 27.43, four seconds short of use. Pooley one
:32:37. > :32:41.27.47, she is actually six because Zabelinskaya is in the next as well.
:32:41. > :32:47.It is going to be a tough job for Emma Pooley to get herself back
:32:47. > :32:50.into a podium position now. She is well over 20 seconds down on third
:32:50. > :32:54.place, so she is really going to have been put in a finish if she
:32:54. > :33:04.wants to get a medal out of this one. I think she will be
:33:04. > :33:22.
:33:22. > :33:32.disappointed, she has worked hard looking as though she is going to
:33:32. > :33:32.
:33:32. > :33:42.win. Do give aren't riding smoothly along these roads. -- Judith Arndt.
:33:42. > :33:48.
:33:48. > :33:53.She is trailing Armstrong and they moment in 6th place. Some rain on
:33:53. > :33:56.the course. These showers were predicted. They will make the final
:33:56. > :34:03.turns quite treacherous and they will have to be careful. Is anybody
:34:03. > :34:08.going to gamble to move up the podium? Emma Pooley will know that
:34:08. > :34:12.she has got to raise their game in the closing stages. Amber Neben
:34:12. > :34:22.moves into the finishing Funnell, the sea of faces with the applause
:34:22. > :34:24.
:34:24. > :34:30.ringing out. Olga Zabelinskaya set a fantastic mark earlier on. Amber
:34:30. > :34:34.Neben inspired by the bronze medal in the road race. That is all going
:34:34. > :34:44.to change because the big guns are still going to come. Emma Pooley
:34:44. > :34:49.
:34:49. > :34:59.should be the next to arrive at the medal position at the moment, and a
:34:59. > :35:02.
:35:02. > :35:07.Van Dijk. 9th 4 Johansson of Sweden. -- for Johansson. It is because of
:35:07. > :35:14.that spaceship Helmut! We come back to Armstrong, the Olympic champion
:35:14. > :35:16.of four years ago. The closing stages of this race now, riding
:35:16. > :35:22.incredibly well in consideration of that difficult season and that
:35:22. > :35:27.broken collarbone. Emma Pooley now. You can see the time of Olga
:35:27. > :35:32.Zabelinskaya is out of reach. She is still leading in this
:35:32. > :35:42.competition. Come on, and a poorly, what have you got? Try and raise
:35:42. > :35:55.
:35:55. > :35:59.your game. -- Emma Pooley. The last Olga Zabelinskaya. 38.37. Second at
:35:59. > :36:04.the moment but for how long? Next to come in will be Clara Hughes,
:36:04. > :36:08.from Canada. That was solid but not great from Emma Pooley, even though
:36:08. > :36:12.she gave it everything that she had. She played it professionally,
:36:12. > :36:17.visiting the course and doing everything she could to post that
:36:17. > :36:27.good performance. At the end of the day, she is a very slight rider
:36:27. > :36:33.
:36:33. > :36:37.suited to going up hills and this those times get Riddick. Fair play
:36:37. > :36:46.to Olga Zabelinskaya, the Russian, 32. Inspired by the bronze medal in
:36:46. > :36:49.the road race. That crouching, businesslike style. Judith Arndt
:36:49. > :36:54.getting to the closing stages. Clara Hughes gulping in the air,
:36:54. > :37:04.coming up to the turn. Trying to replicate the position of 96 in
:37:04. > :37:07.
:37:07. > :37:13.Atlanta when she got the bronze Zabelinskaya totally out of reach.
:37:13. > :37:19.Clara Hughes in second. 31 seconds off the pace of the Russian. That
:37:19. > :37:24.was an incredible ride by Olga Zabelinskaya. I have just looked
:37:24. > :37:27.through and she has not won a time trial this year. I beg your pardon,
:37:27. > :37:31.apart from the national championships! She has not been
:37:31. > :37:36.winning recently in the time-trials. She will be happy with that,
:37:36. > :37:44.inspired by her bronze medal ride. No international time trial victory.
:37:44. > :37:48.Just the one at home, the domestic clash. We await the arrival of
:37:48. > :37:55.Linda Villumsen. She was the silver medal at the World Championships in
:37:55. > :38:01.Copenhagen 12 months ago. The big effort, driving for the line. She
:38:01. > :38:06.is not going to beat 37.57. The Russian is still in that gold medal
:38:06. > :38:10.position. It is close but I think she will go silver. Up to the line,
:38:10. > :38:17.the Sprint, the raising of the tempo, and second by Linda
:38:18. > :38:23.Villumsen. Only 1.83 seconds shy of Olga Zabelinskaya. That at this,
:38:23. > :38:30.she cannot believe it, still in the gold medal position and has just
:38:30. > :38:35.two be contenders to come in. big contenders. She will be very
:38:35. > :38:41.nervous. The right of her career. Linda Villumsen, is she going to
:38:41. > :38:46.get a medal? It will be difficult. Look at this narrow section of the
:38:46. > :38:50.course. The crowd is massive, waiting for the arrival of the two
:38:50. > :38:56.serious medal contenders still on the course. This is the first of
:38:56. > :39:01.them, Judith Arndt, the current World Champion. So experienced. The
:39:01. > :39:08.top podium finish in the individual pursuit, the road race and the time
:39:08. > :39:15.trial. She is so versatile. We wait for the 38 year-old, Armstrong, as
:39:15. > :39:24.well, one and a half minutes behind Judith Arndt. A handful of minutes
:39:24. > :39:29.to get the last bit of effort out. Is that Marianne Vos? It could be.
:39:29. > :39:37.Marianne Vos faded badly even at the first time check. What an
:39:37. > :39:43.incentive that would be to pull your speed out. Judith Arndt
:39:43. > :39:46.closing down on Armstrong? Has she been delayed? The defending Olympic
:39:46. > :39:50.champion is going to catch the World Champion for one and a half
:39:50. > :39:56.minutes. I am waiting to see that. That would be quite a surprise. I
:39:56. > :40:03.think it was Marianne Vos. Yes, I think it was. She was caught by
:40:03. > :40:09.Judith Arndt. That would be three minutes, about right. With these
:40:09. > :40:15.serious medal contenders out there still, Olga Zabelinskaya leading.
:40:15. > :40:20.Linda Villumsen of New Zealand in second. Yes, here comes the cat. It
:40:20. > :40:27.is Judith Arndt sweeping past Marianne Vos. We were right the
:40:27. > :40:32.first time. Marianne Vos has been caught for three minutes. Judith
:40:32. > :40:38.Arndt squeezing through. She is taking the shortest possible line.
:40:38. > :40:43.That was a great visual carrot in front of her. Judith Arndt coming
:40:43. > :40:46.into the finish now. It is quick. Threatening the time of Olga
:40:46. > :40:51.Zabelinskaya. She sat there for a long time as the leader of the
:40:51. > :40:56.contest. Olga Zabelinskaya was the 10th competitor of the 24 to start,
:40:56. > :41:00.but she must be watching it now and realising that she could be
:41:00. > :41:08.squeezed out of the gold medal position. Judith Arndt goes into
:41:08. > :41:14.the lead. She has taken seven seconds off the time only. One more
:41:14. > :41:21.competitive to come own who could deny Judith Arndt the gold medal,
:41:21. > :41:28.and that his Christian Armstrong, the defending champion. -- that is
:41:28. > :41:34.Kristin Armstrong. The only time check that matters is the one at
:41:34. > :41:40.the finishing line. Armstrong is at the top of Powerscreen. Linda
:41:40. > :41:44.Villumsen is sitting in the bronze medal position. She must be biting
:41:44. > :41:47.her nails because the defending a champion is still to come in and
:41:47. > :41:52.she could be denied the medal. has had injury and not an ideal
:41:52. > :41:58.build up, but she is a fighter and she desperately wants this. She was
:41:58. > :42:08.solid in a road race this weekend. She is very good. The 38 year-old
:42:08. > :42:15.mother is going to maintain her title here and retain at the --
:42:15. > :42:20.retain her crown as Olympic champion. Look at the running time!
:42:20. > :42:30.Yes, Armstrong of the USA wins the Gold Medal, taking 15 seconds of
:42:30. > :42:31.
:42:32. > :42:38.the time of Joda -- off Judith Arndt. Olga Zabelinskaya get bronze,
:42:38. > :42:47.her second of these Olympics. Villumsen is pushed into 4th. Emma

:42:53. > :43:00.Pooley complete the course in 6th place.
:43:00. > :43:10.That is a good result from Emma Pooley. Phenomenal from the
