:00:31. > :00:35.Thank you for joining us on BBC Two. We are off to the south-east coast

:00:35. > :00:39.for some sailing. Shirley Robertson is down at Weymouth for us. If

:00:39. > :00:47.you'd like to watch Andy marrow macro against Nicolas Almagro, you

:00:47. > :00:51.can do on BBC Three. -- Andy Murray. Shirley, good afternoon to you. Ben

:00:51. > :00:56.Ainslie is going for this fourth Olympic gold medal. You are bobbing

:00:56. > :01:03.around, I didn't realise you were actually out on the water - that's

:01:03. > :01:08.quite impressive! How is Ben going? It is big Thursday in Weymouth,

:01:08. > :01:14.there are huge waves four miles out to sea and there's a lot of wind.

:01:14. > :01:19.Conditions have changed. For Ben Ainslie, today was pivotal. If he

:01:19. > :01:24.was going to win that gold, he had to win today. They came out, he

:01:24. > :01:28.looked like a different sailor. He absolutely owned the start line. He

:01:29. > :01:33.got the one place where you had to start. He was. The first leg and

:01:33. > :01:39.extended on the next one. The Danish, well, he had a terrible

:01:39. > :01:45.start and he capsized on the downwind leg. Nervous, perhaps.

:01:45. > :01:49.It's a big days so anything could happen throughout the race. Our

:01:49. > :01:59.commentators, they will take us through the last 15 minutes of

:01:59. > :02:06.increased. From a British perspective, the news is still good

:02:06. > :02:10.for Ben Ainslie. Hogh-Christensen is leading overall. Ben Ainslie is

:02:10. > :02:15.to the right of picture. That Orange boy is what they are

:02:15. > :02:21.rounding next. They have to go down wind. The Danish sailor capsized in

:02:21. > :02:28.these conditions. We don't want to see that from Ben Ainslie at all.

:02:28. > :02:30.As the Dana heads to the left hand side of the course. Ben Ainslie is

:02:30. > :02:40.now in a real duelled with a man from the Netherlands at the front

:02:40. > :02:57.

:02:57. > :03:07.you have to choose your side, left or right. But it is Postma from the

:03:07. > :03:14.

:03:14. > :03:19.mark. But the wind coming from his right, standing behind the boat

:03:19. > :03:23.looking forward. But it is Postma who announced the top mark and lets

:03:23. > :03:31.his sail out. A bit of rock-and- roll there. Ainslie now on the

:03:31. > :03:36.attack. These are difficult conditions. You have to be careful,

:03:36. > :03:41.too. You have to be very careful in these conditions. You can see how

:03:41. > :03:45.much the boat can Rock Around, very easy to capsize. Ben is very good

:03:45. > :03:49.in these conditions, very good at sailing downwind as well. We expect

:03:49. > :03:54.him to go very fast and start reeling in the Dutch guy on this

:03:54. > :03:59.leg. You will see him jump into action and pumping the boat. He

:03:59. > :04:03.stands up, leans back, pumps the mainsail. Every time he does that

:04:03. > :04:07.the boat gets a surge of speed. You try and time that with the wave as

:04:07. > :04:17.well. A combination of those factors at the same time and the

:04:17. > :04:18.

:04:18. > :04:28.boat absolutely flies. Ainslie is on the attack now. Denmark in 6th

:04:28. > :04:36.

:04:36. > :04:40.place at the moment. Ainslie has and he's gaining, he is impressing.

:04:40. > :04:43.Three big errors he's come back from. He was last in one race and

:04:43. > :04:48.then he went on to beat Ainsley Waugh. He thought he was over the

:04:48. > :04:53.line in another race, then he went on to beat Ainslie. Then he

:04:53. > :04:57.capsized, got himself upright, looked absolutely exhausted - can

:04:57. > :05:02.he beat Ainslie? Surely the British sailor is far enough ahead in this

:05:02. > :05:05.race. This is the chase from Hogh- Christensen, the man who spent his

:05:06. > :05:15.full-time occupation inside the music business, and gave up last

:05:16. > :05:21.

:05:21. > :05:30.November to spend his full-time attention that is Ben Ainslie wins

:05:30. > :05:34.gold here, he will become the greatest ever sailing Olympian. He

:05:34. > :05:38.has 10 races. You count nine of his results in those 10 races. He can

:05:38. > :05:44.discard his worst score. This is absolutely his best score at the

:05:44. > :05:53.moment. On Sunday, Ainslie will go into a metal race. Must count his.

:05:53. > :05:57.Spare. He has to count points in the -- 10 of the 11 races. It's a

:05:57. > :06:01.long way to win gold, a lot of time on the water. The picture clearly

:06:01. > :06:08.shows that Ainslie is sailing faster than the Dutch sailor.

:06:09. > :06:12.Rocking that boat downwind. One rock too many and you are swimming.

:06:12. > :06:19.It's a fine line you have to play. You have to push hard because it

:06:19. > :06:23.induces more speed. This is largely about speed, tactics as well,

:06:23. > :06:28.getting the wind right. But you need to be fast to be competitive.

:06:28. > :06:33.It's a fine line to play. You push it too hard and you can capsize. We

:06:33. > :06:38.have seen Ben, he's extended fantastically well. We said he was

:06:38. > :06:43.fast downwind and he is absolutely flying down his last downwind leg.

:06:43. > :06:48.The sum much talk about what has happened to Ben, we are seeing that

:06:48. > :06:54.little has happened to Ben Ainslie. He can halve the lead that the

:06:54. > :06:58.Danish sailor has. He has always appeared to be slightly cornered,

:06:58. > :07:04.but if you corner Ben Ainslie, he normally turns his frustration in

:07:04. > :07:09.to speed. In these wild winds out in Weymouth Bay, he is rock and

:07:09. > :07:14.roll in his way down towards the mark. Ben Ainslie goes faster than

:07:14. > :07:18.Australia, the Danish boat just getting the advantage. Those speeds

:07:18. > :07:28.on a little bit misleading because you get a burst of speed, it's the

:07:28. > :07:34.consistency. The Spanish sailor, you can see that there has been

:07:34. > :07:44.some gear failure. He may be out of this race. That will give the

:07:44. > :07:48.

:07:48. > :07:58.Danish sailor, Hogh-Christensen, Brazilian and Danish sailor.

:07:58. > :08:16.

:08:16. > :08:26.Confirmation that true J-Lo has youngster, he has coached as a

:08:26. > :08:29.

:08:29. > :08:33.friend since he was 10 or 11 years old. Just look at the trial, the

:08:33. > :08:37.yellow dots behind Ainslie. That shows the way he's weaving his way

:08:37. > :08:44.down the course. When he finds a wave, like a surfer, he steers the

:08:44. > :08:47.heavyweight faint -- Finn and catches the waiver. You can tell

:08:47. > :08:53.when he gets that speed because you can see more white water at the

:08:53. > :09:00.front of the boat, like a speedboat. Ainslie now leading. He has yet to

:09:00. > :09:06.win a race here on the waters of Weymouth and Portland. He came into

:09:06. > :09:11.this Olympic Games as he generally does, as the favourite. The burden

:09:11. > :09:15.of expectation on him. Unlike almost any other athlete in the

:09:15. > :09:25.British team in London 2012. But he's now got a 90-metre lead over

:09:25. > :09:49.

:09:49. > :09:54.the man from the Netherlands, literally just a few feet away from

:09:55. > :10:04.the crowds. Look at the extra distance Ainslie is sailing by

:10:05. > :10:10.

:10:10. > :10:16.making those giant curves and difference. Denmark currently lead

:10:16. > :10:19.this ft by 10 points. Ainslie is hot on his heels. But two racers

:10:19. > :10:24.like this, if it stays like this, could see normal service resumed

:10:24. > :10:28.for the man who won the World Championships in Cornwall so

:10:28. > :10:32.convincingly, and he did that the day before he carried the Olympic

:10:32. > :10:36.torch, the first man to do it. It looks like it's getting a little

:10:36. > :10:41.closer but these long lenses compress the distance. Ainslie

:10:41. > :10:44.started this race in very different fashion, a very different approach.

:10:44. > :10:49.Conservative sailor's hang back and wait for their slot, but that

:10:49. > :10:52.wasn't the way Ben started today. No, he really was aggressive on the

:10:52. > :10:59.start-line. He decided that he wanted to get to the left-hand side

:10:59. > :11:04.of the track as you look up wind. To do that, and to fight off all

:11:04. > :11:09.the other teams is really high risk because if you get it wrong you can

:11:09. > :11:14.get wrapped up on the mark at the start. You end up with a penalty in

:11:14. > :11:19.that situation. Ainslie rock and roll in. He has to be careful. We

:11:19. > :11:28.saw one sailor capsize earlier on. That Sala was Hogh-Christensen. You

:11:28. > :11:32.can hear the cheers of the crowd. This race is not over. Ainslie has

:11:32. > :11:37.the advantage, gets away there. A little tweak and turn as he heads

:11:37. > :11:43.down wind. Not looking back, not looking concerned. Italy and China

:11:43. > :11:48.are a long way behind. Now leaning the boat over on towards him.

:11:48. > :11:52.Squeezing their. There is the Danish sailor on the attack behind.

:11:52. > :11:56.Can the Danish sailor attack, has left it too late? We have France in

:11:56. > :12:01.there as well. For the first time in London 2012, Ben Ainslie,

:12:01. > :12:07.Britain's ever -- greatest ever Olympic sailor, has the rest of the

:12:07. > :12:14.world in his wake. This is what we expected of Ben Ainslie. Out there,

:12:14. > :12:20.big waves, enjoying it, dominating the fleet. And now using every

:12:20. > :12:24.single wave, an example of the technique. Every wave he gets right

:12:24. > :12:30.polls at it again, but get a few wrong and the catching pack will be

:12:30. > :12:34.right up with him. Such a fine line. He is lying down the waves and is

:12:34. > :12:38.constantly changing direction. That's so he can stay on the wave

:12:38. > :12:42.for longer. The longer you can stay on, the faster and further you

:12:42. > :12:46.travel down wind. He's done an excellent job, having pulled in big

:12:46. > :12:49.distances against the feet behind him. Sometimes Ben Ainslie get it

:12:49. > :12:58.so right on a wave that he is serving and overtakes the wind. At

:12:58. > :13:05.that moment you see the sails flap. This is classic Ainslie technique.

:13:05. > :13:10.He is supremely fit. He is 36 years old. An Olympic athlete. The Danish

:13:10. > :13:14.sailor is now down to 9th place. All Ainslie can do is stay there.

:13:15. > :13:19.But from a British perspective, the Danish flag and its position on

:13:19. > :13:24.that leaderboard is crucial. If he falls back a couple more, we can

:13:24. > :13:28.see the overall lead changed. Ben Ainslie round the final mark at

:13:28. > :13:33.heads towards the finish. Ainslie now has established a comfortable

:13:33. > :13:36.lead, but just where is the Danish sailor going to finish? That could

:13:36. > :13:39.be critical in the overall standings. One place here

:13:39. > :13:44.difference could mean the difference between gold and silver

:13:44. > :13:49.come the final on Sunday. It is going to be extraordinary down here

:13:49. > :13:53.on Sunday. Here is Ben Ainslie now, coming in on the final leg of a day

:13:53. > :13:59.that surely he must have felt the pressure. You heard the weather

:13:59. > :14:04.forecast this morning, Weymouth, Brough, windy. He went out here at

:14:04. > :14:10.the start line, pretty patchy, went for a tiny gap and there it is, Ben

:14:10. > :14:14.Ainslie has beaten the Danish. Come on, come on! You can see him, he

:14:14. > :14:22.believes it. The last race he finished he hammered his hand on

:14:22. > :14:28.the deck, frustrated, brutal. That is Ben Ainslie talking to himself,

:14:28. > :14:31.come on, I've done it! We saw huge emotion from Ben across the line

:14:31. > :14:39.there. We've seen him so frustrated when he crossed that line every

:14:39. > :14:45.time so far. Here is the Dutch sailor. We are going to get

:14:45. > :14:50.confirmation. Denmark are in eighth. That would be a seven. Macro

:14:50. > :14:54.clawback or Ben Ainslie, three points between them. Can the Danish

:14:54. > :14:58.sailor, Hogh-Christensen, the man who went for an unscheduled swim

:14:58. > :15:02.during this race, he was on the attack or Ben Ainslie. There was

:15:02. > :15:06.some concern from a British perspective, he had such superior

:15:07. > :15:13.speed. But he didn't get a chance to find out. He pulled himself

:15:13. > :15:18.upright, got back into action, but Denmark has an eighth. There he is

:15:18. > :15:23.just crossing the line. A very different body language to that of

:15:23. > :15:28.Ben Ainslie. He shakes his head. He breathes out. He will be absolutely

:15:28. > :15:38.physically exhausted. But mentally, that has shown the first chink in

:15:38. > :15:48.

:15:48. > :15:51.the armour of the Danish sailor. that Ben Ainslie has beaten Jonas

:15:51. > :15:57.Hogh-Christensen on the water. Are we about to see a swing in fortunes

:15:57. > :16:02.for Great Britain? Well, we have seen something pretty special, we

:16:02. > :16:12.have seen Ben Ainslie back on the attack. Advantage Ben Ainslie? We

:16:12. > :16:19.

:16:19. > :16:25.Hopefully, Shirley has not capsized, I used there? Your heart, good! --

:16:25. > :16:31.are you there? You are, good! Is it right that you can lose the worst

:16:31. > :16:36.of the 11 races? Yes, before going into the medal race, but you carry

:16:36. > :16:40.your cumulative points from the series, so it is about being

:16:40. > :16:43.consistent, keeping the points difference to a minimum. There was

:16:44. > :16:48.a huge sigh of relief from Ben Ainslie, and he was a different

:16:48. > :16:53.sailor in that race, not letting anyone away with anything, and that

:16:53. > :16:59.is more like what we are used to seeing. Exactly that, we are used

:16:59. > :17:04.to see him winning, why has he not been having such a hold on the rest

:17:04. > :17:08.of the world? Well, I think the speed of the great Dane was a

:17:08. > :17:13.surprise. It was a surprise to the Great Dane, but also to all the

:17:13. > :17:17.sailors and coaches, and they were not expecting that. At the World

:17:17. > :17:22.Championships, Ben won convincingly with a string of firsts, and Jonas

:17:23. > :17:27.was third, so it's definitely came out of the blue. It was like he had

:17:27. > :17:31.a slightly bigger engine, and it was hard for him to counter that.

:17:31. > :17:35.Ben was playing a safe game, playing the percentages, and we

:17:35. > :17:40.have seen in start badly in the Olympic Games before, but I feel

:17:40. > :17:46.good about that race, he seems to have found his feet. Still plenty

:17:46. > :17:51.of time left for him? Another race today, two tomorrow, and then the

:17:51. > :17:57.final on Sunday. Thank you so much. You can't go back to shore now.

:17:57. > :18:03.You're not staying out until the next race, are you? Matt, This Is

:18:03. > :18:07.hardcore, there is a lot more racing going on, the double Olympic

:18:07. > :18:11.medleys from Beijing are leading, they have just had a second and are

:18:11. > :18:20.looking pretty good. The 470 men came out for the first time today,

:18:20. > :18:23.they have had a second that -- and are in second overall. The 49s are

:18:23. > :18:29.leaving the race after the Finnish boat in front of them capsized.

:18:29. > :18:34.Plenty of reason to stay out, not of great British success. Super job,

:18:34. > :18:39.well done, keep going! If you have missed any of the last 24 hours of

:18:39. > :18:48.Olympic action, and you are allowed to go to sleep, if you have a 60

:18:48. > :18:54.seconds to spare, here is your They are making history here at

:18:54. > :19:01.Eton Dorney, Great Britain into the record books, Helen Glover and

:19:01. > :19:09.Heather Stanning, we stand up and we salute you! And Great Britain

:19:09. > :19:15.into bronze-medal position! Double double, a champion's performance if

:19:15. > :19:19.ever I have seen one. It is a fantastic silver medal 4 Great

:19:19. > :19:29.Britain, Michael Jamieson, what a brilliant swim that was. And he

:19:29. > :19:30.

:19:30. > :19:38.gets it, we have a new world record His medal hopes are alive, and he

:19:38. > :19:42.once one! 1-0! Great Britain are through to the quarter-finals.

:19:42. > :19:47.Great Britain get the silver, a valiant effort from the British

:19:47. > :19:52.boys. Here comes Bradley Wiggins, after the line, look at the time...

:19:53. > :19:58.Here he comes, Wiggins goes into the lead! I think it should be

:19:58. > :20:03.arise Sir Brad. Indeed, on that note, I have just

:20:03. > :20:07.found these behind the table. I do not know if they were Mishal's or

:20:07. > :20:13.Sharon's. Everyone is still celebrating the epic victory of

:20:13. > :20:17.Bradley Wiggins. Just looking down a few tweets, Jamie Murray says his

:20:17. > :20:25.congratulations to the men's lightweight four, sorry it was not

:20:25. > :20:32.gold. I can tell you that your brother has beaten Nicolas Almagro

:20:32. > :20:37.6-4, 6-1. He is into the semi- finals. Earlier, we saw Gemma

:20:37. > :20:41.Gibbons win her opening bout by ippon, effectively the judo version

:20:41. > :20:46.of a knockout. Much to the delight of the crowd at the ExCeL arena.

:20:46. > :20:50.Next, she is to face the Mongolian world number 7 for a place in the

:20:50. > :21:00.quarter-finals. Earlier the girls were out on the mat, Nicola

:21:00. > :21:01.

:21:01. > :21:11.Fairbrother and Nick Mullins can year-old Londoner called Gemma

:21:11. > :21:12.

:21:12. > :21:20.Gibbons against the Mongolian 7th Portuguese girl who was ahead of

:21:20. > :21:24.care in the rankings with a spectacular first round it on -- it

:21:24. > :21:30.on. The mountain has just got a little bit steeper, the Mongolian

:21:30. > :21:34.mountain may be a tough one to Crest, we will see. She was

:21:34. > :21:39.mightily impressive, the Mongolian judo squad, she was desperately

:21:39. > :21:43.close to winning and Olympic medal herself, which bring back such warm

:21:43. > :21:48.memories for her countryfolk, won their first gold medal in any sport

:21:48. > :21:54.four years ago, and she is one of the likely candidates here. Gemma

:21:54. > :21:58.was brilliant and at first match. She kept her cool throughout and

:21:58. > :22:02.waited for the moment, and she will need to do the same here. This

:22:02. > :22:06.Mongolian is very physical, and she does not want to do any weak

:22:06. > :22:16.attacks. She has to wait for the moment to be right. The winner of

:22:16. > :22:26.

:22:26. > :22:32.turnover on the ground, Chennai needs to stay on her stomach. --

:22:32. > :22:37.Gemma. Nothing doing, she was clamped like one of the then puts

:22:37. > :22:47.on the riverbank, on the Thames that separates her from her home in

:22:47. > :23:15.

:23:15. > :23:19.Greenwich. She is a local girl, and Euan Burton's partner, she has

:23:19. > :23:24.experience of how bruising mentally the Olympics can be. She will have

:23:24. > :23:28.been as moved as we all were by his defeat a couple of days ago, and

:23:28. > :23:38.the magnificent way he reacted to it during his interview with the

:23:38. > :24:17.

:24:17. > :24:22.Britain had to celebrate at these Games. It is a record she is not

:24:22. > :24:32.particularly proud of, she would rather she was not the last British

:24:32. > :24:32.

:24:32. > :25:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

:25:13. > :25:17.champions turning themselves into a penalty, though. Rolling hands from

:25:17. > :25:23.the referee to indicate that he does not think she is doing enough

:25:23. > :25:33.work. The Mongolian getting the initiative again, Gemma Gibbons

:25:33. > :25:39.

:25:39. > :25:43.needs to get her hips in the first, lest we forget. Once again, a

:25:43. > :25:49.British fighter coming up against one of the best early on, because

:25:49. > :25:52.they themselves are not seeded. There has been a British fighter in

:25:52. > :25:55.every way it on every day, but they have been scattered to the winds

:25:55. > :26:05.because they have been drawn against the world's very best. They

:26:05. > :26:11.

:26:11. > :26:16.have not been protected themselves of the match, she will have more

:26:16. > :26:20.time to get their attack in. -- Gemma. I was reading, by the way,

:26:20. > :26:25.that the gold used to plate the champions' medals in London has

:26:25. > :26:31.been mined from underneath Mongolia and its vast grasslands and deserts,
