incredible. What an Olympic Games It is silver for Great Britain.

:01:22.:01:30.

They gave it everything and were so close. Great Britain into the

:01:30.:01:37.

bronze medal position. We are no big champions! Great Britain! They

punched the air. -- we are Olympic champions. It is really getting

going at the London 2012. These are the headlines from this morning.

:01:53.:01:59.

Helen Glover and Heather Stanning are the history girls. They won

:01:59.:02:02.

Team GB's first gold medal of London 2012, the first British

:02:02.:02:07.

women to win an Olympic rowing title.

:02:07.:02:11.

Greg Searle and Great Britain's men's eight powered into the lead

:02:11.:02:14.

in their final but they had to settle for bronze as world

:02:15.:02:24.

champions Germany had to take gold. Fran Halsall made it through to the

:02:24.:02:29.

semi-final in the 100m freestyle, finishing second in her heat. She

will be joined in the last 16 by to make in this mess. -- team mate

Smith. Ryan Lochte looked good this

:02:43.:02:51.

morning, easing through to the semi-finals of the 200m backstroke.

:02:51.:03:01.
:03:01.:03:25.

Let's go back to the medals of the we are just watching the British

crew collect their thoughts at the end of the model pontoon. -- metal

:03:33.:03:42.

pontoon. Their final words together before they disband forever. Bronze

:03:42.:03:47.

medallists, representing Great Britain. The crowd on the far side

:03:47.:03:51.

of the lake on their feet. The crew turn around and they acknowledge

:03:51.:03:58.

the support that they gave them in the final 300 metres of that race.

:03:58.:04:06.

That epic, epic race. Each and every one of these guys are heroes.

:04:06.:04:13.

Listen to the noise. The acknowledgement. Alex Partridge.

:04:13.:04:17.

James Foad fought his way into this crew. The real unsung hero of this

:04:18.:04:25.

boat. Tom Ransley, 26 years of age. We feel for him. The face says it

:04:25.:04:30.

all. Richard Egington, who sat motionless for minutes after the

:04:30.:04:40.
:04:40.:04:42.

line, he could not move. Moe Sbihi. A moment that they allow us into

:04:42.:04:46.

such disappointment. And there he is, Greg Searle, the hero 20 years

:04:46.:04:56.
:04:56.:05:06.

on. Speechless. There is nothing I can say. Matthew Langridge did a

:05:06.:05:15.

fantastic job in a sense the seat. And bars and in the -- in the 7th

:05:15.:05:25.
:05:25.:05:29.

seed. Constantine Louloulis, what Well, we bring you news that all

:05:29.:05:35.

four of the badminton players involved in that match basically

:05:35.:05:40.

trying to lose have been disqualified. We will bring you

:05:40.:05:44.

more news on that in just a while. First, to the time trial to see how

:05:44.:05:54.
:05:54.:05:57.

things are going for Emma Pooley the first time check in this

:05:57.:06:03.

women's 29 kilometre test against the clock. It comes at 9.1

:06:03.:06:08.

kilometres. You can see the leg speed and a businesslike approach.

:06:08.:06:18.

She is in good form. The lead at the 20 kilometres point was from

:06:18.:06:26.

Finland. 28 minutes and 51 seconds. They are all four out on the road

:06:26.:06:31.

in this Test against the clock. They start at 1.5 minute intervals

:06:31.:06:35.

and the rules are very simple. Cover the course in the quickest

:06:35.:06:40.

time possible. This is Emma Vandyke from the Netherlands, who rode very

:06:40.:06:50.
:06:50.:06:53.

well in the road race. -- Ellen Van quarters behind because they are

:06:53.:06:56.

not allowed to go past the rider for fear of giving them shelter

:06:56.:07:02.

from the motorbikes in these southerly winds. Lizzie Armitstead

:07:02.:07:06.

is coming up to that checkpoint, outside the first best time but

:07:06.:07:10.

still respectable. She is not a time trial specialist but she will

:07:10.:07:16.

try as hard as she can to post a top 10 time. The crowd giving her

:07:16.:07:21.

tremendous support. Lizzie Armitstead 9th at that time split

:07:21.:07:26.

of 9.1 kilometres. Look at the crowd at the British flags. She

:07:26.:07:32.

must be enjoying this. She has already got a silver medal in her

:07:32.:07:42.
:07:42.:07:42.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:07:42.:08:25.

She is the current World Champion. She has got medals in their pocket

:08:25.:08:32.

from the Olympic Games in previous years. Silver at Athens. She is a

:08:32.:08:37.

polished performer. The Olympic road race champion, Marianne Vos.

:08:37.:08:41.

She started like a rocket from the starting house. But she is settling

:08:41.:08:45.

down a bit now. Both those riders on the road for less than 10

:08:45.:08:51.

minutes now, and you could not see a more contrasting style. Judith

:08:51.:08:56.

Arndt sat down, pacing her effort, Marianne Vos in and out of the

:08:56.:09:02.

saddle. She is very much a sprinter. She likes to see her competitors.

:09:02.:09:04.

Respectable in the time trial and certainly on form but I would be

:09:04.:09:09.

surprised if she is in the medals today. Approaching the next time

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

split here, Johansson from Sweden. The silver medal winner for the

:09:19.:09:29.
:09:29.:09:35.

road in Beijing. She is not going have still got the big guns to

:09:35.:09:45.
:09:45.:09:57.

smooth style. Keep an eye on this split time, because this is the

:09:57.:10:03.

former World Champion. She is not as quick as Olga Zabelinskaya. In

:10:03.:10:10.

fact, that is quite modest from the USA. I am surprised. She is still

:10:10.:10:16.

settling into the race. She worked hard in the road race at the

:10:16.:10:19.

weekend. I would have thought she would be quicker than Olga

:10:19.:10:24.

Zabelinskaya, but there we are. Over the rest of the course she

:10:24.:10:27.

could deliver. We get back to the defending champion, Kristin

:10:27.:10:36.

Armstrong. She looks to be using a low gear. That is evidence of

:10:36.:10:46.

somebody in good form, pedalling at that time cadence rate. -- high

:10:46.:10:52.

cadence rate. Emma Pooley, what is she going to do? The fastest time

:10:52.:10:59.

at the first split has been 13.14. 13.46, we are under 14 minutes.

:10:59.:11:09.
:11:09.:11:10.

Emma Pooley as the quickest at this point. Diminutive inside, she flies

:11:10.:11:16.

along, but quickest at this first split. She will be pacing her ride

:11:17.:11:20.

correctly. That is the split time and she is quickest by seven

:11:20.:11:28.

seconds. That is a significant margin at this point. Fastest and

:11:28.:11:35.

benign, to split. Good riding by an appalling. -- fastest at the nine

:11:35.:11:45.
:11:45.:11:46.

kilometres split. Good writing by disappointed if she comes away

:11:46.:11:56.
:11:56.:12:11.

next point. She is shifting around in the shadow, not quite as

:12:11.:12:21.
:12:21.:12:23.

comfortable as in the opening few road as well. Looks to be in a much

:12:23.:12:33.
:12:33.:12:48.

lower beer than the other minutes and one second. Of course

:12:48.:12:52.

they are the current leaders of the competition, going first. Olga

:12:52.:13:02.
:13:02.:13:12.

Zabelinskaya is getting towards the check is around 40 kilometres an

:13:12.:13:22.
:13:22.:13:22.

hour. So faster coming back. Amber Neben at the next check. She is

:13:22.:13:26.

being chased by Emma Pooley. Good seeding in the closing stages of

:13:26.:13:33.

the time trial. Marianne Vos is yet to arrive at the first split at

:13:33.:13:43.
:13:43.:13:46.

bit of Judith Arndt, which is what we are interested in. -- time at

:13:46.:13:53.

Split. We hope it will be close to Emma Pooley, still in with a shot

:13:53.:14:03.
:14:03.:14:18.

Hughes has gone through in 14.05. At the line, to point, the first

:14:18.:14:28.
:14:28.:14:33.

speech check on the court, Emma Pooley is in third. Perhaps not the

:14:33.:14:38.

best start for Emma Pooley but very much in contention. I do not see

:14:38.:14:43.

Marianne Vos going quicker than those times. I'm looking at Judith

:14:43.:14:47.

Arndt and Armstrong, the last two on the road, to put Emma Pooley

:14:47.:14:54.

under pressure. Good riding from Hughes, she won the gold in the

:14:54.:15:00.

5,000m. Very strong in the road race. This is a great course for

:15:00.:15:10.
:15:10.:15:10.

her. She likes the Flat courses. Powerful. Very pleased with that.

:15:10.:15:18.

Concentrating on Olga Zabelinskaya. Two finishes in, at the moment. At

:15:18.:15:25.

9.1 kilometres, the splits confirmed for us. Hughes's second,

:15:25.:15:35.
:15:35.:15:41.

Emma Pooley in 14.06. That is very you do not get to stop and recover.

:15:41.:15:47.

He carried fatty through the whole race. -- You carry fatigue through

:15:47.:15:54.

the whole race. Marianne Vos is not going to threaten the three medal

:15:54.:15:58.

positions here at the first time a split. Three have completed the

:15:58.:16:07.

course, and still leading his Sundstedt. Liesbet de Vocht of

:16:07.:16:11.

Belgium is third. The right by Marianne Vos is not going to be a

:16:11.:16:16.

right that is going to give her a medal, but she will enjoy the

:16:16.:16:21.

occasion, having already won gold in the road race. She lost a

:16:21.:16:27.

massive amount of time Judy the enthusiastic start that she made,

:16:27.:16:37.
:16:37.:16:37.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:16:37.:17:34.

almost like a sprint finish the. happy with that. One more to come

:17:34.:17:37.

through the first time split, and that is going to be Kristin

:17:37.:17:41.

Armstrong, waiting for the defending champion now. We can show

:17:41.:17:47.

you the effort here, the finishing effort of Pia Sundstedt of Finland,

:17:47.:17:56.

here she comes. She is coming up to the line, and that is Tatiana

:17:56.:18:00.

Antoshina, who goes second, 11 seconds slower than the time of Pia

:18:00.:18:07.

Sundstedt. Here is Arndt, the German, going well. She is riding

:18:07.:18:11.

well, and she was tipped as favourite, but at the top of the

:18:11.:18:15.

show we were talking about how her time-trial form is not as good as

:18:15.:18:22.

it has been in the past. The time for Arndt at that 9.1 kilometre

:18:22.:18:28.

point was the same as Pooley, as we look for the arrival of the

:18:28.:18:32.

defending champion, Kristin Armstrong, going well. She has made

:18:32.:18:38.

a very positive start, Armstrong coming in with an impressive time.

:18:38.:18:44.

Well, just one seconds clear, so all to play for there. Villumsen is

:18:44.:18:49.

so close behind, and the next split will be so telling. Some riders go

:18:49.:18:54.

too quickly, some take a while to get into the race, so this is a

:18:54.:18:58.

first indication of who is in the game, but the next cheque will tell

:18:58.:19:05.

us who is playing for the medals. All the riders are on the rowed now,

:19:05.:19:15.
:19:15.:19:28.

9.1 kilometres, Armstrong went game in the second section of the

:19:28.:19:35.

time-trial, 4th at the moment, 14.06. Well, she is just one second,

:19:35.:19:40.

Pooley, off being on the podium, so it is all to play for. This course

:19:40.:19:45.

is not ideal for her, but she is a fighter, and she wants to use this

:19:45.:19:49.

opportunity to ride on British roads in Olympic Games, a once-in-

:19:49.:19:53.

a-lifetime opportunity for all of these competitors. She will make

:19:53.:19:57.

the most of it. I will tell you what, there is a real battle

:19:57.:20:02.

beginning to unfold on the road. The crowds are way too close. She

:20:02.:20:06.

is getting a significant benefit from that car, I cannot believe it

:20:06.:20:11.

is being allowed. That will massively affect results here.

:20:11.:20:16.

is almost tucked in behind it! is very unusual in a time-trial.

:20:16.:20:19.

Yes, the referees will have something to say about that, I feel

:20:20.:20:24.

sure, as we get back to Armstrong, but all the stars of his time-trial

:20:24.:20:29.

have already shown the form they are in, and the riders we expected

:20:29.:20:37.

to challenge our or figuring strongly. -- are all figuring

:20:37.:20:47.
:20:47.:21:04.

5th for her. And here is the cash, so Judith Arndt has caught Marianne

:21:04.:21:08.

Vos for one and a half minutes, and ahead of her there will be clear

:21:08.:21:13.

road. She will have to set about chasing the next Ryder, whom she is

:21:13.:21:18.

not going to catch, because that will be Villumsen of New Zealand.

:21:18.:21:24.

Marianne Vos is obliged to believe over 10m, so there is no potential

:21:24.:21:29.

for taking assistance, as we switch back to Emma Pooley on one of the

:21:29.:21:35.

downhill sections. She has chosen to use the same training as Bradley

:21:35.:21:44.

Wiggins. -- Jane Eyre reign. Russian is the new leader. She has

:21:44.:21:52.

had a good steady ride throughout. She will be pleased with that, a

:21:52.:22:02.
:22:02.:22:05.

good ride by her after that time- trial performance. The time for

:22:06.:22:14.

Zabelinskaya, the first ride and a 40 minutes, so pretty consistent.

:22:14.:22:19.

46 kph average, slightly faster than I predicted. This is going to

:22:19.:22:29.
:22:29.:22:55.

be a fast race. The men's event style boards at the side of the

:22:55.:23:00.

road to give the riders information at certain points on the course. So

:23:00.:23:04.

they will be looking out for them, they will know where they are going

:23:04.:23:11.

to show them. Pooley wants to try and eradicate the deficit, it was

:23:11.:23:17.

pretty slight from the previous Czechs, but it would be nice to

:23:17.:23:27.

assert her authority here. -- Check. Here comes Amber Neben, overhauling

:23:27.:23:34.

the rider who started ahead of her, Emma Johansson. Let's have a look

:23:34.:23:40.

at the splits time for Amber Neben, showing second. We can see the

:23:40.:23:48.

Canadian coming in to finish, the young Canadian, Ramsden. A bat is a

:23:48.:23:58.
:23:58.:24:05.

British crowd, applauding everybody. the UK, almost a separate sport in

:24:05.:24:15.
:24:15.:24:22.

trialling circuit. Strong time trialling background, my first race

:24:22.:24:29.

aged 13 was a 10 mile ride against the clock. So Judith Arndt, well,

:24:29.:24:33.

with the bit between her teeth, she has already overhauled Marianne Vos

:24:33.:24:38.

and has one minute back to Armstrong. The difference in styles

:24:38.:24:46.

between those two, Arndt is very still, whereas Armstrong seems to

:24:46.:24:52.

roll a lot. The British team are set up at five kilometres, giving

:24:52.:24:57.

Emma Pooley her first track. She is well past that now. The next

:24:57.:25:07.
:25:07.:25:14.

timecheck for Pooley. 27 minutes and 47 seconds, the second quickest

:25:14.:25:21.

split of the day at the 20km point. The deficit is not what she will

:25:21.:25:28.

want. It is quite significant at his point. We will see where she

:25:28.:25:32.

gets to as we get a shot of the leaders in the race, they have to

:25:32.:25:35.

go and sit on those thrones that they have got set out until they

:25:35.:25:45.
:25:45.:25:54.

Hampton Court. Trixie Worrack coming in now. Good time. She is

:25:54.:25:59.

just within the 40 minute mark, easily, in fact. She goes second at

:25:59.:26:08.

this stage. Zabelinskaya is riding exceptionally well there to post

:26:08.:26:14.

that strong time early on, up 46 kph average as we go back to Clara

:26:14.:26:20.

Hughes. Let's see what kind of time she is going to record, gulping in

:26:20.:26:24.

the air, gritting her teeth, she has certainly got the race fees are

:26:24.:26:31.

and, fastest at that point is Zabelinskaya, who went 27.26,

:26:32.:26:39.

pretty impressive, 17 seconds faster than he used. Now Pooley,

:26:40.:26:45.

27.47, four seconds short of the Canadian's time. Well, the second

:26:45.:26:48.

timecheck is always telling, because the first one, if you do

:26:48.:26:53.

not know whether somebody is pacing themselves, they are all in the

:26:53.:26:57.

next after 10 or 15 minutes of racing, but when you get to 20

:26:57.:27:02.

kilometres, it is starting to sort itself out. But this lady, Kristin

:27:02.:27:06.

Armstrong, she knows how to pace a race, and we can expect a

:27:06.:27:12.

consistent performance from her all the way through. And from villains

:27:12.:27:15.

and as well, so Zabelinskaya, the bronze medal-winner in the road

:27:15.:27:21.

race, has not disappointed. -- Villumsen. We await the arrival of

:27:21.:27:27.

the top seeded riders. That is Zabelinskaya's time at 20

:27:27.:27:32.

kilometres, and Linda Villumsen cars 6.7 seconds off it, quickest

:27:32.:27:37.

at this point. A great ride by her, she will be happy with that, she is

:27:37.:27:42.

on track for a medal here if she can keep the pressure on.

:27:42.:27:47.

seconds faster than Pooley, Villumsen. Emma Pooley is going to

:27:47.:27:50.

have to find something in the closing stages if she wants to hit

:27:50.:28:00.

a podium. The next one coming in, from Sweden, a sprint for the line,

:28:00.:28:06.

and that was Emilia Fahlin, 6th in the competition. It is all about

:28:07.:28:11.

the top riders in the closing stages here, and the one to shoot

:28:11.:28:17.

down his Zabelinskaya of Russia, who picked her pace up. She was

:28:17.:28:21.

sixth in the first split, then she posted the second-fastest time.

:28:21.:28:25.

Those are the hot seats of the first three in the competition,

:28:25.:28:28.

they look comfortable. They are the most grandiose of seats I have ever

:28:29.:28:34.

seen, it must be quite uncomfortable to sit there! Linda

:28:34.:28:37.

Villumsen of New Zealand, second in the world championships in

:28:37.:28:42.

Copenhagen last year, beaten by Arndt. 29 seconds is the difference

:28:42.:28:47.

between them, and she is going well, looking very strong. She does, and

:28:47.:28:51.

she is well suited to this course as well, good cadence there, she

:28:51.:28:55.

has settled in position, and I have no doubt that they will have time

:28:56.:28:59.

checks on root as well to let them know how they are doing, and that

:28:59.:29:02.

has to give you confidence to let you know that you are posting a

:29:02.:29:10.

time like that. Waiting for the arrival of Judith Arndt and Kristin

:29:10.:29:14.

Armstrong. It is really hotting up, this time trial, and it is going to

:29:14.:29:19.

go right down to the wire, very interesting indeed. Linda Villumsen

:29:20.:29:25.

was quickest at the second point, 20.4 kilometres, and Zabelinskaya

:29:25.:29:31.

was second, third was used, 4 fours Pooley. Back to Armstrong on the

:29:31.:29:38.

course, she has settled into this race now. A good cadence there as

:29:38.:29:43.

well. Look at this, a cluster of riders or bunching up, because they

:29:43.:29:47.

have been caught or they have caught the riders ahead of them.

:29:47.:29:53.

The Australian in the next, and that is Shara Gillow. Leading to

:29:53.:30:03.
:30:03.:30:03.

the line is the Italian, coming to record their times, 38.53, Van Dijk

:30:03.:30:12.

is in second position behind Zabelinskaya. Well, the crowd know,

:30:12.:30:18.

that is the latest finisher coming in, Shara Gillow. We are looking

:30:18.:30:23.

back to the New Zealander, and this of course is Linda Villumsen.

:30:23.:30:28.

Judith Arndt coming around to. We are flicking around the picture is

:30:28.:30:36.

a little bit now. She was 27.21, just two seconds down, so she is

:30:36.:30:41.

going to be happy with that. place at the moment. Second, in

:30:41.:30:47.

fact, moving up. Fears that the first time split, so a steady ride

:30:47.:30:55.

by her. -- 5th at the first split. Back to Villumsen, still on a nice

:30:55.:31:00.

smooth style. The best riders almost never get out of the saddle,

:31:00.:31:06.

smooth and efficient. It is more of an internal battle, the time-trial.

:31:06.:31:11.

Armstrong. Very, very smooth indeed, just a little bit of a wave of the

:31:11.:31:21.

shoulders, can she beat the time of Villumsen, 27.18? Arndt, 27.21 at

:31:21.:31:24.

the 20 kilometres point. That is the time they are aiming at if they

:31:24.:31:29.

want to move into the lead with the concluding kilometres to wipe away.

:31:29.:31:33.

Lizzie Armitstead getting in the end of her time trial, getting a

:31:33.:31:43.
:31:43.:31:46.

huge ovation here. Armitstead Zabelinskaya the lead. Well, she

:31:46.:31:51.

did say coming into this that it was an opportunity to ride on home

:31:51.:31:58.

roads without pressure. Armstrong is ahead, 4.8 seconds sliced up the

:31:58.:32:03.

time of the previous leader, Villumsen. She comes to the line,

:32:03.:32:06.

the closing time for Armitstead, 4th at the moment. We are into the

:32:06.:32:12.

concluding stages of his time trial now, let me tell you, at the 20km

:32:12.:32:20.

point, the defending champion from America, Kristin Armstrong, 27.13.

:32:20.:32:24.

The New Zealander is second, Villumsen. Clara Hughes was there

:32:24.:32:32.

in 4th position on 27.43, four seconds short of use. Pooley one

:32:32.:32:37.

27.47, she is actually six because Zabelinskaya is in the next as well.

:32:37.:32:41.

It is going to be a tough job for Emma Pooley to get herself back

:32:41.:32:47.

into a podium position now. She is well over 20 seconds down on third

:32:47.:32:50.

place, so she is really going to have been put in a finish if she

:32:50.:32:54.

wants to get a medal out of this one. I think she will be

:32:54.:33:04.
:33:04.:33:22.

disappointed, she has worked hard looking as though she is going to

:33:22.:33:32.
:33:32.:33:32.

win. Do give aren't riding smoothly along these roads. -- Judith Arndt.

:33:32.:33:42.
:33:42.:33:48.

She is trailing Armstrong and they moment in 6th place. Some rain on

:33:48.:33:53.

the course. These showers were predicted. They will make the final

:33:53.:33:56.

turns quite treacherous and they will have to be careful. Is anybody

:33:56.:34:03.

going to gamble to move up the podium? Emma Pooley will know that

:34:03.:34:08.

she has got to raise their game in the closing stages. Amber Neben

:34:08.:34:12.

moves into the finishing Funnell, the sea of faces with the applause

:34:12.:34:22.
:34:22.:34:24.

ringing out. Olga Zabelinskaya set a fantastic mark earlier on. Amber

:34:24.:34:30.

Neben inspired by the bronze medal in the road race. That is all going

:34:30.:34:34.

to change because the big guns are still going to come. Emma Pooley

:34:34.:34:44.
:34:44.:34:49.

should be the next to arrive at the medal position at the moment, and a

:34:49.:34:59.
:34:59.:35:02.

Van Dijk. 9th 4 Johansson of Sweden. -- for Johansson. It is because of

:35:02.:35:07.

that spaceship Helmut! We come back to Armstrong, the Olympic champion

:35:07.:35:14.

of four years ago. The closing stages of this race now, riding

:35:14.:35:16.

incredibly well in consideration of that difficult season and that

:35:16.:35:22.

broken collarbone. Emma Pooley now. You can see the time of Olga

:35:22.:35:27.

Zabelinskaya is out of reach. She is still leading in this

:35:27.:35:32.

competition. Come on, and a poorly, what have you got? Try and raise

:35:32.:35:42.
:35:42.:35:55.

your game. -- Emma Pooley. The last Olga Zabelinskaya. 38.37. Second at

:35:55.:35:59.

the moment but for how long? Next to come in will be Clara Hughes,

:35:59.:36:04.

from Canada. That was solid but not great from Emma Pooley, even though

:36:04.:36:08.

she gave it everything that she had. She played it professionally,

:36:08.:36:12.

visiting the course and doing everything she could to post that

:36:12.:36:17.

good performance. At the end of the day, she is a very slight rider

:36:17.:36:27.
:36:27.:36:33.

suited to going up hills and this those times get Riddick. Fair play

:36:33.:36:37.

to Olga Zabelinskaya, the Russian, 32. Inspired by the bronze medal in

:36:37.:36:46.

the road race. That crouching, businesslike style. Judith Arndt

:36:46.:36:49.

getting to the closing stages. Clara Hughes gulping in the air,

:36:49.:36:54.

coming up to the turn. Trying to replicate the position of 96 in

:36:54.:37:04.
:37:04.:37:07.

Atlanta when she got the bronze Zabelinskaya totally out of reach.

:37:07.:37:13.

Clara Hughes in second. 31 seconds off the pace of the Russian. That

:37:13.:37:19.

was an incredible ride by Olga Zabelinskaya. I have just looked

:37:19.:37:24.

through and she has not won a time trial this year. I beg your pardon,

:37:24.:37:27.

apart from the national championships! She has not been

:37:27.:37:31.

winning recently in the time-trials. She will be happy with that,

:37:31.:37:36.

inspired by her bronze medal ride. No international time trial victory.

:37:36.:37:44.

Just the one at home, the domestic clash. We await the arrival of

:37:44.:37:48.

Linda Villumsen. She was the silver medal at the World Championships in

:37:48.:37:55.

Copenhagen 12 months ago. The big effort, driving for the line. She

:37:55.:38:01.

is not going to beat 37.57. The Russian is still in that gold medal

:38:01.:38:06.

position. It is close but I think she will go silver. Up to the line,

:38:06.:38:10.

the Sprint, the raising of the tempo, and second by Linda

:38:10.:38:17.

Villumsen. Only 1.83 seconds shy of Olga Zabelinskaya. That at this,

:38:18.:38:23.

she cannot believe it, still in the gold medal position and has just

:38:23.:38:30.

two be contenders to come in. big contenders. She will be very

:38:30.:38:35.

nervous. The right of her career. Linda Villumsen, is she going to

:38:35.:38:41.

get a medal? It will be difficult. Look at this narrow section of the

:38:41.:38:46.

course. The crowd is massive, waiting for the arrival of the two

:38:46.:38:50.

serious medal contenders still on the course. This is the first of

:38:50.:38:56.

them, Judith Arndt, the current World Champion. So experienced. The

:38:56.:39:01.

top podium finish in the individual pursuit, the road race and the time

:39:01.:39:08.

trial. She is so versatile. We wait for the 38 year-old, Armstrong, as

:39:08.:39:15.

well, one and a half minutes behind Judith Arndt. A handful of minutes

:39:15.:39:24.

to get the last bit of effort out. Is that Marianne Vos? It could be.

:39:24.:39:29.

Marianne Vos faded badly even at the first time check. What an

:39:29.:39:37.

incentive that would be to pull your speed out. Judith Arndt

:39:37.:39:43.

closing down on Armstrong? Has she been delayed? The defending Olympic

:39:43.:39:46.

champion is going to catch the World Champion for one and a half

:39:46.:39:50.

minutes. I am waiting to see that. That would be quite a surprise. I

:39:50.:39:56.

think it was Marianne Vos. Yes, I think it was. She was caught by

:39:56.:40:03.

Judith Arndt. That would be three minutes, about right. With these

:40:03.:40:09.

serious medal contenders out there still, Olga Zabelinskaya leading.

:40:09.:40:15.

Linda Villumsen of New Zealand in second. Yes, here comes the cat. It

:40:15.:40:20.

is Judith Arndt sweeping past Marianne Vos. We were right the

:40:20.:40:27.

first time. Marianne Vos has been caught for three minutes. Judith

:40:27.:40:32.

Arndt squeezing through. She is taking the shortest possible line.

:40:32.:40:38.

That was a great visual carrot in front of her. Judith Arndt coming

:40:38.:40:43.

into the finish now. It is quick. Threatening the time of Olga

:40:43.:40:46.

Zabelinskaya. She sat there for a long time as the leader of the

:40:46.:40:51.

contest. Olga Zabelinskaya was the 10th competitor of the 24 to start,

:40:51.:40:56.

but she must be watching it now and realising that she could be

:40:56.:41:00.

squeezed out of the gold medal position. Judith Arndt goes into

:41:00.:41:08.

the lead. She has taken seven seconds off the time only. One more

:41:08.:41:14.

competitive to come own who could deny Judith Arndt the gold medal,

:41:14.:41:21.

and that his Christian Armstrong, the defending champion. -- that is

:41:21.:41:28.

Kristin Armstrong. The only time check that matters is the one at

:41:28.:41:34.

the finishing line. Armstrong is at the top of Powerscreen. Linda

:41:34.:41:40.

Villumsen is sitting in the bronze medal position. She must be biting

:41:40.:41:44.

her nails because the defending a champion is still to come in and

:41:44.:41:47.

she could be denied the medal. has had injury and not an ideal

:41:47.:41:52.

build up, but she is a fighter and she desperately wants this. She was

:41:52.:41:58.

solid in a road race this weekend. She is very good. The 38 year-old

:41:58.:42:08.

mother is going to maintain her title here and retain at the --

:42:08.:42:15.

retain her crown as Olympic champion. Look at the running time!

:42:15.:42:20.

Yes, Armstrong of the USA wins the Gold Medal, taking 15 seconds of

:42:20.:42:30.
:42:30.:42:31.

the time of Joda -- off Judith Arndt. Olga Zabelinskaya get bronze,

:42:32.:42:38.

her second of these Olympics. Villumsen is pushed into 4th. Emma

:42:38.:42:47.

Pooley completes the course in Essex. Celebrations here. -- Emma

:42:47.:42:53.

Pooley complete the course in 6th place.

:42:53.:43:00.

That is a good result from Emma Pooley. Phenomenal from the

:43:00.:43:10.
:43:10.:43:14.

trial. Of course Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome in action. Can

:43:14.:43:22.

Bradley Wiggins achieve absolute greatness? All will be revealed

very shortly. Plus this afternoon, action from the North Greenwich
