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 | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
punched the air. -- we are Olympic champions. It is really getting | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
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 | :02:29. | :02:39. | |

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 | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
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. | |
