BBC Two: Day 5: 22.00-22.40 Olympics

Welcome back. The long wait for British gold is over. Day five has

given us much to cheer. Bradley Wiggins struck gold in the time-

trial to become Britain's most decorated Olympia with seven medals.

Chris Froome won bronze. But his gold was not the first of the Games,

that came courtesy of Helen Glover and Heather Stanning who won the

women's pair in the rowing. GB's men's eight were also amongst the

medals at Eton Dorney, they took bronze behind Germany and Canada.

Scott Michael Jamieson claimed a superb silver in the men's 200m

breaststroke. It took a world record from Daniel Gyurta to beat

him. The gymnastics has kept us thoroughly entertained. Today was

the men's all-around final. Observe thing for us were Matt Baker, Mitch

Senna and Christine Still. Welcome to the North Greenwich Arena for

the men's individual all-around final which involves two British

gymnasts. Let's listen to the roar of. The first of his six pieces of

apparatus. Consistency is the key the Arabian, very light of touch on

the landing. Two-and-a-half twists, into the full twist, very nicely

done. This is crucial. Very nicely moment. Then the final double

Arabia. That will do very nicely indeed. Kristian Thomas, what a

start, terrific. What a start with five pieces to go. It is a big

score. Daniel Purvis with his first piece. A tiny bit of bent knees,

but he is swinging beautifully now. Keep your feet together. He lost

form slightly, but this routine is big difficulty. He looks totally

determined. Well done. Well done in did. That was a good, battling

performance. He will be pleased to have it over with. This is after

the first piece of apparatus. This man has made her real name for

himself over the past few days. Keep it going. Very difficult

triple Russian between the handles. Into triple Russian on the end.

This is nice, just keep it going. That was really nice work from

something approaching 16. Absolutely precise. Not a step

wrong. I think he means business today. He is fed up with feeling

sorry for himself. A huge score. Two-and-a-half twists, but a little

bit off direction. Having such a great competition so far. This is a

big routine for him. It is indeed. His physique is not enormously

suited to rings, but he held that with utter determination. No

They arrest and rise into the Swinging moods. That is what he is

good at. He must control the dismount as well. Well done, that

family. He has a sister in the Japanese women's team. His full

turn was late, but he did very well. He had to struggle to get the

the double pike and a little skip backwards. Some lovely, light,

swinging touches. That is a good score. We are half way round. He

got Great Britain that bronze. Hoping for something very similar

here. I am glad it is you commentating on this one. What a

shame! He just squeezed into hard. That is his first mistake in the

whole competition. Can he keep his composure? So much at stake. Two

pieces after this one. Usually a very solid high bar worker. That

was a very nice out into handstand. The back somersault with full twist.

Worked really well. Now that close elements in the turns. He needs to

That will be very costly. He will struggle now. This is the current

something to date. That was the combination. Just a little hop

forward. There is that pencil sharp shape that we have come to love. A

brilliant performance. He can sniff gold. Without surprise he is in

gold medal position ahead of his all-around gymnast. His coach must

be very proud of this young man. Luckily, clean, crisp openers. A

the catch, but, my goodness me, he is going. What a cracker. Look at

the smile. My word! That was something. He was flying.

certainly was. So much was expected of him and he looks quite heavy

hearted. But this is his real strong peace, this and high bar.

Just look at the time he has on the apparatus. He generates height from

it. He is another very stylish gymnast. Legs always locked

together. For a tour gymnast this is very nice. He will be very happy

with that. That looks more like it. He knew he had to do the

performance of his life. He is the world champion on parallel bars. He

is desperately trying to do everything he can to get into the

medals. That is why he is the world champion. Extra bounce and extra

unfortunate. With that penultimate double, I think he was just a bit

tentative. A fault was given. Uchimura has been off his game.

performance, if ever I have seen one. Fantastic. He is going to be

A tough game for you? We knew it would be. We knew they would

compete with us if we did turn up. As it was, we let them into the

We probably got what we deserved. We will take it as it comes and

move on to the next match. Incredible atmosphere, wasn't it?

It was. I feel bad that we have not delivered when people have done so

Still very much in the thick of things. Let's turn our attention to

water polo and Team GB against Australia. If you see a player with

bloodshot eyes, it is not from the chlorine, it is because this is the

only sport where the players give motivation against Australia

many of those. Maybe it is nervous. Some mist passes. Just silly missed

Francesca Snell scored a beautiful goal against Russia. Just not there.

They have drawn the exclusion. The fowls are beginning to rack up now

She had quite a quiet game. What a lovely shot. She is one of the

players that Great Britain women will have to watch. They will have

to find a way to nullify her threat. She was not too good against

Australia, did not put too many in. But she is on form tonight. GB need

a goal before the end of the first quarter to give them a foothold and

give them some confidence in this game. They get another 30 seconds,

She scored the other night and so she has this evening to get Great

Britain on the scoresheet. That is the first goal they have scored in

four power plays and their efficiency needs to be better than

Australians won in the end by 16-3. A second consecutive defeat. But

all the teams will go through to the quarter-finals. But the less

well they do, the less favourable their draw will be. It is a lovely,

clear evening. And you are in the studio. I just crept in again.
