:01:19. > :01:23.Yohan Blake beats Usain Bolt. I lost those two races I sat down
:01:23. > :01:27.and people asked if I would be all right. I just need to think about
:01:27. > :01:33.this, a figure out what they need to get done. Be definitely opened
:01:33. > :01:39.my eyes, I would say, this is going to be serious. Things like that
:01:39. > :01:45.happen to you in life and you have to take it seriously. I am champion,
:01:45. > :01:49.I know what I need to do, I have been here before. There is no
:01:49. > :01:58.reason not to train together, we are still friends, still
:01:58. > :02:01.competitors, we trained hard, when we go out we could be to see who is
:02:01. > :02:08.the best. I am happy with everything. We haven't changed
:02:08. > :02:13.anything between us. He is very competitive, he tries to be in
:02:13. > :02:18.front, he wants me to get used to him being in front, I don't know
:02:18. > :02:22.the psychological games he is trying to play. Sometimes I went to
:02:22. > :02:28.compete to show I can compete if I want, sometimes I just can't be
:02:28. > :02:32.bothered or let her go on. It kind of hypes up the Olympics a little
:02:32. > :02:37.bit more because people think I will run away with it but people
:02:37. > :02:44.are so cute -- sitting back and watching what will happen. It is
:02:44. > :02:53.good for the sport, without a doubt. This could easily be one of the
:02:53. > :02:57.fastest 100 metres anybody has ever Just over eight minutes to go until
:02:57. > :03:04.the final of the men's one of Jupiter's. I am joined by John
:03:04. > :03:11.McEnroe, the forward to it? I am so happy, BBC is right here, this is
:03:11. > :03:14.the perfect position. I think Usain Bolt will do it again. He
:03:14. > :03:18.transcends the sport, he makes young kids that don't know a lot
:03:18. > :03:22.about track and field like my own kids want to see a race like this.
:03:22. > :03:28.This is my first time in a stadium like this, to seek a 100m final, it
:03:28. > :03:36.is amazing. I am equally excited. It promises to be a great sporting
:03:36. > :03:43.event, the blue Riband event, the one most people look forward to.
:03:43. > :03:47.remember as a kid growing up, whether it was Karl us, we see
:03:47. > :03:53.Michael Johnson did the 200 metres, he was pretty quick, and Linford
:03:53. > :04:00.Christie, up all types of buyers lined up and this is the place to
:04:00. > :04:06.be. I cannot believe he is as fast, or was he hurt in the Jamaican
:04:06. > :04:15.trials? Ida nerve, he is a pretty good at her. I think we will enjoy
:04:15. > :04:21.this. Let us go back to John Inverdale. He will win this and the
:04:21. > :04:26.time? We wouldn't need the race if it could be predicted. It will be
:04:26. > :04:30.incredible. I think it will be tight at the end, tied to them what
:04:30. > :04:35.we have seen in the past. Usain Bolt is obviously ready, he showed
:04:35. > :04:39.that in the semi-finals, it is his race to lose. All of the guys have
:04:39. > :04:46.got nothing to lose and everything to gain. We talked about the winner,
:04:46. > :04:51.but it will be a battle for the silver and bronze. Yohan Blake
:04:51. > :04:57.could lose the silver, that is an interesting prospect, could Justin
:04:57. > :05:01.Gatlin could get it? So in trying to win the gold he might burn his
:05:01. > :05:05.bridges on a medal altogether. necessarily, there isn't so much
:05:05. > :05:09.room for strategy so you will only go with one strategy, get out and
:05:09. > :05:13.run as fast as you possibly can. This is much more of a technique
:05:13. > :05:17.race, you will get what ever you will get from running the fastest
:05:17. > :05:20.race you possibly can, even if you are trying to win. If you go when
:05:20. > :05:27.you are not throwing away silver because you were trying to get gold,
:05:27. > :05:33.not that type of competition. He just may not be able to hold off
:05:33. > :05:38.Justin Gatlin. The reason why the stadium is for is because nobody
:05:38. > :05:45.knows who will win this race, that is what is so incredible.
:05:45. > :05:52.Especially this one. I don't think we will see faster than 9.58, what
:05:52. > :05:57.he has run before. He was two- tenths of a second better if he
:05:57. > :06:02.were to run through the line in the semi-finals. Colin has been writing
:06:02. > :06:07.down a time on a piece of paper, what have you written down? 9.64, a
:06:07. > :06:12.new Olympic record, I think he's capable. Watching his start in the
:06:12. > :06:19.semi-final, that was his biggest worry, his biggest sense of stress
:06:19. > :06:24.in his life. I am thinking if you know so, why not? It is his domain.
:06:24. > :06:29.He has claimed it, made it his own. I have to agree with Colin, there
:06:29. > :06:34.is not any body that can beat him after that semi-final. He went on
:06:34. > :06:40.to a different level. I would like to see Tyson Gay get in the next.
:06:40. > :06:48.Great to see him back, somewhere like good form. This injury he
:06:48. > :06:54.carried, the operation he had on his hip, it may just into him --
:06:54. > :06:59.just hinder him. Quick answer, it is this just about winning or Fort
:06:59. > :07:03.Usain Bolt is it about that time? It is not about the time it will,
:07:03. > :07:13.it is a bad position, he wants to win this, they all want to get
:07:13. > :07:14.
:07:14. > :07:18.medals. Don't count Tyson Gay out. Asafa Powell, you never know, maybe
:07:18. > :07:23.that was just about execution in the semi-final but he is in this
:07:23. > :07:29.thing again. Ryan Bailey, ran really well here, nobody is talking
:07:29. > :07:33.about him and he had a great race yesterday. You never know what
:07:33. > :07:39.might happen. We may see all of these guys go under 10 seconds,
:07:39. > :07:49.that would be a first. Ever since we left Beijing four years ago we
:07:49. > :07:49.
:07:49. > :08:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds

:08:45. > :08:51.10.6 in 1924, Chariots of Fire and all that. Usain Bolt took 41
:08:51. > :09:01.strides to run 9.69 four years ago. From Beijing to Rio, the world
:09:01. > :09:10.
:09:10. > :09:14.stops and watches London tonight, run under 10 seconds this year,
:09:14. > :09:20.Richard Thompson of Trinidad, Asafa Powell, Jamaica for the Tyson Gay
:09:20. > :09:25.for the United States, if you have lake, Jamaica, just a gallant,
:09:25. > :09:34.United States, Usain Bolt, Jamaica, Brian Bailey, United States,
:09:34. > :09:38.Martina, the Netherlands. It was Britain's night last night. Tonight
:09:38. > :09:48.belongs to the world, because this man is the biggest draw in the
:09:48. > :09:56.
:09:56. > :10:05.world. Maybe in sport, it certainly medal four years ago in Beijing,
:10:05. > :10:10.from Trinidad and Tobago. 9.96 this year. Nobody has ever run under 10
:10:10. > :10:14.seconds more times than Asafa Powell in the semi-final, that was
:10:14. > :10:24.his 80th clocking, he would swap all of them for a gold medal,
:10:24. > :10:34.surely. Former world champion, the second fastest man of all time,
:10:34. > :10:45.
:10:45. > :10:55.Tyson Gay of the United States. The Yohan Blake became the world
:10:55. > :11:04.
:11:04. > :11:09.champion at the age of just 21, champion in 2004, has twice been
:11:09. > :11:19.suspended for drug offences. For many people the villain. But he is
:11:19. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:43.Usain Bolt. A wonderful reception. Perhaps the surprise package, Ryan
:11:43. > :11:53.Bailey of the USA. He has impressed many in his performances here at
:11:53. > :12:03.
:12:03. > :12:11.Martina. Now representing the Netherlands. The European champion
:12:11. > :12:21.in 200m, in the form of his life. This is the first time ever that
:12:21. > :12:22.
:12:22. > :12:32.the four fastest men of all time are in the same Olympic final. A
:12:32. > :12:32.
:12:32. > :13:39.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:13:39. > :13:49.did we ever, ever, ever doubt the brilliance of Usain Bolt? Four
:13:49. > :13:50.
:13:50. > :13:59.years ago it was special. Tonight I think even for him this has more
:13:59. > :14:07.meaning than ever. Here we go. Yohan Blake took the silver. Justin
:14:07. > :14:12.Gatlin took the bronze, but it was all about Bolt. He was not the best
:14:12. > :14:18.out of the blocks, but he does not have to beat. He has got so much
:14:18. > :14:27.more than all of these other guys. These are the best that have ever
:14:27. > :14:34.assembled in an Olympics final. All of their reputations torn apart.
:14:34. > :14:44.Tyson Gay misses out. Every single man with the exception of Asafa
:14:44. > :14:54.Powell, went under 10 seconds. But they cannot touch Usain Bolt. It is
:14:54. > :14:56.
:14:56. > :15:02.gold again. Well, 2012 for a long time was built around this man,
:15:02. > :15:06.built around the 100m final, built around his personality and presence
:15:06. > :15:16.and what it means to this sport and the Olympic movement and he has
:15:16. > :15:17.
:15:17. > :15:22.delivered. Justin Gatlin takes up another Olympic medal, this time a
:15:22. > :15:31.bronze. But it was all about Jamaica, it was all meant to be
:15:31. > :15:37.about to make a. I hate to disappoint Colin Jackson, but his
:15:38. > :15:46.time has been rounded down. A new Olympic record. A little stumble
:15:46. > :15:52.from Asafa Powell. It was not a great start by Bolt. But at 50m he
:15:52. > :16:00.came tearing through. He put a couple of metres between himself
:16:00. > :16:09.and Yohan Blake, the beast. The second fastest 100m ever, that is
:16:10. > :16:14.how good it was. Just look at the way he goes away from everybody now.
:16:14. > :16:21.If there are any bare toes out there, he simply is the best there
:16:21. > :16:26.has ever been. Michael, what do you think about that? It was not a
:16:26. > :16:30.great start, but he did not need to get a great start. He came into
:16:30. > :16:37.this competition and I think he already knew he was able to win
:16:37. > :16:41.this. But he is working it because he was under a little bit of
:16:41. > :16:48.pressure at. His technique looks a bit better than it has in the past
:16:48. > :16:55.as well. A fantastic race, just as we thought it would be. Very close
:16:55. > :17:00.with everyone else. Here is where the race was. Yohan Blake came
:17:00. > :17:10.under tremendous pressure from Usain Bolt on his left and Justin
:17:10. > :17:13.
:17:13. > :17:19.Gatlin on his right. Just so close. Tyson Gay robbed himself because he
:17:19. > :17:25.did not time his lean it right and Justin Gatlin did. That is why they
:17:25. > :17:35.were so close. But Usain Bolt, the best there has ever been, there is
:17:35. > :17:37.
:17:37. > :17:42.no doubt about it. To underline the quality of that, for third, 4th,
:17:42. > :17:50.5th, 6th and 7th, they were the fastest times register it ever for
:17:50. > :17:58.those positions. But he has got so much to spare. The start is not
:17:58. > :18:05.good. We have to accept that with bold. It is the size of the man.
:18:05. > :18:10.But when he is in full flow, there is no catching him. Well done to
:18:10. > :18:20.Yohan Blake as well, equalling his personal best to take the silver.
:18:20. > :18:20.
:18:20. > :18:30.Tyson Gay just missing out in fourth place. There was a following
:18:30. > :18:38.
:18:38. > :18:41.wind of plus 1.5, if you are From where you have come, injury
:18:41. > :18:48.wise and operation Wise, a magnificent performance and you
:18:48. > :18:57.were so close to a medal. How are you feeling right now? I did my
:18:57. > :19:02.best, I do not have any excuses. I tried to do it for my family, man.
:19:02. > :19:09.I am not sure. But the road you have come on to this point, you
:19:09. > :19:19.have to give yourself a huge amount of credit. I tried, man, it was the
:19:19. > :19:24.
:19:24. > :19:30.best I could do. That is a great site, the apprentice and the master.
:19:30. > :19:34.Bolt just brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. And like that fantastic
:19:34. > :19:44.night last night, so many people made an effort to be here just to
:19:44. > :19:54.see Usain Bolt do it again and win the gold. An American retained the
:19:54. > :19:55.
:19:55. > :20:00.100m title in 1904 and 1908. Carl Lewis in 1984 and 1988. Justin
:20:00. > :20:06.Gatlin ran the same time tonight as Ben Johnson ran Insole all those
:20:06. > :20:11.years ago. But Usain Bolt is the first man when it has been a global,
:20:11. > :20:18.international sport, to retain the championship. An extraordinary
:20:19. > :20:24.achievement. Denise? Very fitting, the 50th year of Jamaican
:20:24. > :20:31.independence tomorrow. We have got two of their finest on the rostrum.
:20:31. > :20:36.It went to form book. A fantastic race, thoroughly enjoyable. We were
:20:36. > :20:42.on the edge of our seats here. Even the press area has doubled in size
:20:42. > :20:47.in the last couple of days because people wanted to see this race.
:20:47. > :20:52.Colin, your predictions were useless. Sorry about that. But the
:20:52. > :20:57.big thing about Usain Bolt is he always produces the goods at major
:20:57. > :21:01.championships. He had that one bullet, that false start last year
:21:01. > :21:09.at the World Championships. You know we mentioned his start was
:21:09. > :21:14.poor, it is not that work. These guys are moving very quickly indeed.
:21:14. > :21:18.It is just that he can put his foot down from 10 up to 30 and in
:21:18. > :21:22.between that that it makes a massive difference. That is a lot
:21:22. > :21:30.to do with his stride length and his height and all the attributes
:21:30. > :21:34.he has to make him a great sprinter. What a pity Asafa Powell pulled up.
:21:34. > :21:43.It would have been great if every man in that field had run under 10
:21:43. > :21:51.seconds. Maybe they can have a national holiday in Jamaica anyway.
:21:51. > :21:58.Michael, what are your thoughts? Carl Lewis did it in 1984 and 1988
:21:58. > :22:05.and that was the modern era. He was not the first over the line, that
:22:05. > :22:14.is what I meant. He was first legally over the line. One of the
:22:14. > :22:18.things we are seeing is that Yohan Blake has arrived. He has come
:22:18. > :22:25.through now with a silver medal and he is a very young athlete and he
:22:25. > :22:32.will be a force to be reckoned with. For those two guys, they have got
:22:32. > :22:39.it sewn up for quite some time in my opinion. Look at that. These are
:22:39. > :22:43.fantastic scenes, it really is. It is amazing. Very positive at the
:22:43. > :22:53.moment, but I know there will be a lot of people who are particularly
:22:53. > :23:00.happy. Most people would have liked to have seen Tyson Gay get in the
:23:00. > :23:05.next. I do not know how you feel. think the bronze is insignificant
:23:05. > :23:10.at this point because of who want it. This is a bronze medal nobody
:23:10. > :23:15.is going to pay attention to very much. Justin Gatlin has come back
:23:15. > :23:25.because of his suspension. He has the opportunity with his bronze
:23:25. > :23:26.
:23:26. > :23:32.medal to do something good. Side by side. He is going to go and speak
:23:32. > :23:40.to NBC. You are now officially an Olympic legend. You wanted that.
:23:40. > :23:45.was happy. When I went out, I felt like I could do theirs. I did not
:23:45. > :23:52.want a false start again, so I sat in the blocks a little bit. It was
:23:52. > :23:57.not the best reaction. My coach told me to stop worrying about the
:23:57. > :24:03.start because the best part of my race is at the end, that is where
:24:03. > :24:10.you rule. It worked. What do you say to all the doubters? I have
:24:10. > :24:15.just said it on the track. People can talk. When it comes to the
:24:15. > :24:22.championships it is all about business for me. And the reception
:24:22. > :24:27.from the crowd? I knew it was going to be like this. You can feel that
:24:27. > :24:34.energy and it is extremely good and I'm happy. A lot of talk you might
:24:34. > :24:42.be able to be his man, but you were not able to. Can you pay a tribute
:24:42. > :24:48.to him? He knows what it takes and he is the fastest man in the world.
:24:48. > :24:55.This is my first Olympics and I get a silver medal, and what more can I
:24:55. > :25:00.ask? I say thank you to my coach. The he has pursued very hard.
:25:00. > :25:05.Definitely, in training he always pushes and he works harder than me.
:25:06. > :25:10.But when it comes to the business, I know what a need to do. I think
:25:10. > :25:17.he will do better next time. He was a bit stressed because it is a
:25:17. > :25:25.major championships. He beat almost everybody pulls up I know he will
:25:25. > :25:29.have more confidence and do better the next time. The most over-used
:25:29. > :25:36.phrase in British speech at the moment, except in this case it is
:25:36. > :25:40.absolutely right, it is extraordinary. Like last night in
:25:40. > :25:47.years to come half-a-million people will say they were in the stadium
:25:47. > :25:52.tonight. They were here the night Usain Bolt ran the second-fastest
:25:52. > :26:02.time ever in the 100m. We got quite excited in the commentary box as
:26:02. > :26:10.
:26:10. > :26:20.well, but then why not? Here he comes calm and the big man!
:26:20. > :26:21.
:26:21. > :26:28.Fantastic! The big man. embarrassing. Seriously, all those
:26:28. > :26:38.antics going on. The reason you are not a commentator and a pundit
:26:38. > :26:49.
:26:49. > :26:55.because when you say things like I have got to watch myself on here.
:26:55. > :26:58.Are we can meet -- hanging the 200m gold medal around his neck?
:26:58. > :27:05.doesn't mean he is in as good a shape for his 200 metres so that
:27:05. > :27:14.will be very interesting. You can make -- Yohan Blake is a very good
:27:14. > :27:21.to injury to a runner. He has followed his performance last year,
:27:21. > :27:28.he trained hard, so he could have his work cut out. I expect in other
:27:28. > :27:36.great race in the 200 metres. can hang up the gold round the
:27:36. > :27:39.Jamaican team in the fall by one a degree to relay. -- in the relay.
:27:39. > :27:46.They never dropping, and live to regret saying that. I would like to
:27:46. > :27:51.see the US get it around. We have got the medal ceremony taking place
:27:51. > :27:54.now for the women's 400 metres, and at certain points during the course
:27:54. > :27:59.of the summer it seemed very unlikely Christine Ohuruogu would
:27:59. > :28:07.find herself on the podium. There she is, for years on from being a
:28:07. > :28:15.gold-medallist in Beijing, she is a silver-medallist in London. A very
:28:15. > :28:19.happy Christine Ohuruogu, why not? Very close. Given everything in the
:28:19. > :28:27.last three years, all sorts of injury problems, a lot of doubts
:28:27. > :28:34.along the way. Hats off to her and her coach who has done a great job.
