:00:54. > :00:59.Hello, the beautiful city of Barcelona continues to delight us
:00:59. > :01:04.with its hidden gems as we reached the halfway stage. We have already
:01:04. > :01:14.unearthed some stars of the future, but tonight we are set to be
:01:14. > :01:47.
:01:47. > :01:52.entertained by those global names Hello, welcome back to Barcelona as
:01:52. > :01:59.we reached the halfway stage of the World Swimming Championships. My
:01:59. > :02:03.dynamic duo as ever up here, Mark Foster and Rebecca Adlington. It
:02:03. > :02:07.has been noticed how beautifully co-ordinated you buy this evening
:02:07. > :02:13.in red, white and blue and maybe it will bring luck to the British team
:02:13. > :02:23.this evening. In the first semi- final in the men's 100m freestyle,
:02:23. > :02:38.
:02:38. > :02:42.champion. Adam Brown is going to have to go with him. It is an
:02:42. > :02:47.interesting lane assignment. I think it is good because he has
:02:48. > :02:57.just got to go for it. The Olympic champion is going well. It took
:02:57. > :03:02.Nathan Adrian ages to breathe. But Adam Brown is sticking with him.
:03:02. > :03:07.Fabien Gilot looks fantastic as well. But Adam is going well, as
:03:07. > :03:17.long as he can hold on, he has got a decent chance of making it into
:03:17. > :03:18.
:03:18. > :03:25.the final. Come on, let's finish this off. Adam Brown finished in
:03:26. > :03:32.4th. He has got a chance in the final. Wow, that is his lifetime
:03:32. > :03:42.best and look what happens when you do your lifetime best. The Olympic
:03:42. > :03:45.
:03:45. > :03:49.champion winning the first final. You know each other really well.
:03:49. > :03:54.have raced him many times and I tried to stay with him as best I
:03:54. > :04:00.could, and it is a good time, so I am pleased with that. You did not
:04:00. > :04:05.mind being in an outside lane? because there are Leicester waves.
:04:05. > :04:15.You have to get in and race and still the best time. Fingers
:04:15. > :04:31.
:04:31. > :04:37.crossed. See you later. -- there 100m freestyle. The big Brazilian
:04:37. > :04:47.is close to us. The world record holder decided not to do 100m this
:04:47. > :05:02.
:05:02. > :05:12.year. It is Jimmy Fagan in two. And Marcelo Chierighini is doing well
:05:12. > :05:14.
:05:14. > :05:24.to. Three American-trained swimmers leading this pack. That was not
:05:24. > :05:56.
:05:56. > :06:02.that quick. So Adam Brown is going We are bitterly disappointed for
:06:02. > :06:08.Adam Brown, just missing out on the final. 9th is the worst place to be,
:06:08. > :06:13.but he did a best time. He did a perfect race for him. It was great
:06:13. > :06:19.for him to be on the outside next to Nathan Adrian. With 100m
:06:19. > :06:26.freestyle, if you can sit near the lane rope and sit on the wave, you
:06:26. > :06:31.can get dragged along. He did his best time, but it was not enough.
:06:31. > :06:35.There is always a possibility somebody will decide that they may
:06:35. > :06:40.not make that final, but it is very unlikely. He will have to settle
:06:40. > :06:46.for a swimming his best time ever. It is highly unlikely that someone
:06:46. > :06:51.will pull out unless it is illness or injury. But he has got the 50m
:06:51. > :06:58.freestyle later on in the week and he has got the men's relay, so he
:06:58. > :07:02.has got more swims to come. A in the podium positions Magnusson last
:07:02. > :07:09.year came out and said he was going to win everything and he did not.
:07:09. > :07:13.He got the silver medal in London. What is going on with his form?
:07:13. > :07:19.the Olympic Games he came out and shouted about what he is going to
:07:19. > :07:24.do and did not deliver. Coming here he has done some of the fastest
:07:24. > :07:28.times in the year. But you have to earn the gold medal. In the relay
:07:28. > :07:34.in the lead of he did not deliver. If he had done the time he did this
:07:34. > :07:40.morning, they could have won the race. Then this morning he was
:07:40. > :07:44.slightly out. Who is favourite? Nathan Adrian who delivered at the
:07:44. > :07:51.Olympic Games when he was not supposed it. Yannick Agnel says you
:07:51. > :07:55.can have a strange year and come here and win. We have got two more
:07:55. > :08:05.semi-finals and the women's 50m backstroke. We have got
:08:05. > :08:25.
:08:25. > :08:34.representation from Lauren Quigley Quigley, her head well back. A very
:08:34. > :08:38.interesting start from Emily Seebohm. Lauren Quigley is in the
:08:38. > :08:48.blue suit and she is going well. She needs to wind it up in these
:08:48. > :08:50.
:08:50. > :08:56.last 10m and she could make the final. She is in 4th position. A
:08:56. > :09:05.dangerous position after the first semi-final. That was a very good
:09:05. > :09:11.swim. That is her best time, I am sure. Mercedes was very good. The
:09:11. > :09:21.world record holder was second. Lauren Quigley has got a chance.
:09:21. > :09:41.
:09:41. > :09:51.This is the second semi-final with from the Brazilian. Aya Terakawa is
:09:51. > :09:52.
:09:52. > :09:59.coming back. Great Britain is 4th. I think we may have two British
:09:59. > :10:09.finalists. She was a little bit slower than Lauren Quigley. 7th and
:10:09. > :10:23.
:10:23. > :10:28.8th, that is fantastic. Excellent Fantastic news, two Brits in there
:10:28. > :10:36.and a personal best from you and close times as well. We did exactly
:10:36. > :10:41.the same time this morning, so it is a bit weird. But again hopefully
:10:41. > :10:46.we can get in the final tomorrow and give it a global stock not bad
:10:46. > :10:54.in your first international to make a world championship final? No, it
:10:54. > :10:59.is not bad at all. I learnt a lot from their 100 earlier in the week.
:10:59. > :11:06.Your whole family is here. I heard them before and hopefully they are
:11:06. > :11:13.looking forward to tomorrow night. Fantastic news for Great Britain.
:11:13. > :11:16.Two women in that final tomorrow. Appeared before Lauren Quigley. I
:11:16. > :11:22.know you have spent a lot of time with her and you are thrilled by
:11:22. > :11:29.her. It was an amazing race, I am so pleased that they both get a
:11:29. > :11:33.second swim. They progressed from the morning as well. You want a PB
:11:34. > :11:40.coming into a big meet. You do not want to be swimming the same times
:11:40. > :11:45.as the trials. I am looking forward to the final. They qualified with
:11:45. > :11:52.the same time, so realistically is there much more wet that they can
:11:52. > :11:57.do? You said it earlier with Yannick Agnel when they find a
:11:57. > :12:01.little bit extra. They are at a peak at the moment, but they came
:12:01. > :12:07.in here and we were asking for best times and they did their best times
:12:07. > :12:12.tonight. There is nothing to say they cannot do it again. Maybe they
:12:12. > :12:20.could get off the block a bit quicker, there will be tiny
:12:20. > :12:24.improvements. They have still got a chance. Does Lauren get nervous?
:12:24. > :12:30.Will this get her through the week now she is used to the noise and
:12:30. > :12:35.the arena and will it settle her a bit? The first swim is always
:12:35. > :12:41.nervous regardless of where you are. She will definitely be settling,
:12:41. > :12:47.but I know she will want to break 28 tomorrow. I am sure she will be
:12:47. > :12:53.fighting for that tomorrow. We are looking forward to that. Next up is
:12:53. > :12:57.the men's 200m butterfly final. The overwhelming favourites, a man who
:12:57. > :13:07.was best known for the person he's laid last year in London, or maybe
:13:07. > :13:16.it is because he is a big fan of his dad. He beat Michael Phelps in
:13:16. > :13:22.London, 2012. Adam Le Clo is not going very hard on this one. He put
:13:22. > :13:32.his head down for three strokes and won it. I am happy with the time
:13:32. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:53.and I wanted to qualify, said that Clos yet. Four lengths of the
:13:53. > :14:00.swimming pool. The men's 200m butterfly. Expect Chad Le Clos to
:14:00. > :14:10.go out quickly. So far he has been looking around a lot. I think we
:14:10. > :14:10.
:14:10. > :14:16.will see him concentrate on his own race. He is very relaxed. It is
:14:16. > :14:26.good to be relaxed. I bet underneath he is working hard.
:14:26. > :14:29.
:14:29. > :14:34.Course Zhirinovsky is in good shape, though of. He is on form. I am
:14:34. > :14:44.surprised that Peng Wu is not up there. He struggled in the semis.
:14:44. > :14:48.Chad Le Clos is a lot more determined than he was previously.
:14:48. > :14:54.It is outside the time he won the Olympic Games in, but he looks
:14:54. > :14:59.reasonably strong. The field has not disappeared yet. He looked left
:14:59. > :15:05.and right again. He is looking right and seeing where they are. If
:15:05. > :15:15.he is not careful, Caucasian not ski, the world champion from 2005,
:15:15. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :15:45.of. Look at him looking around. Go for it, go forward! Looks like he
:15:45. > :15:51.won it only just. Chad Le Clos of South Africa and the world title to
:15:51. > :16:01.the Olympic title he won in London last year. Do not swear much like
:16:01. > :16:02.
:16:02. > :16:08.that! It is so funny.-- swim. are right. He could have gone half
:16:08. > :16:14.a second faster if he was looking forward. I don't know why he was
:16:14. > :16:19.looking either side. If you look to the side, your whole body is
:16:19. > :16:25.getting unbalanced during the butterfly. And do not do that! I am
:16:25. > :16:30.going to have to have big talk to him. He is Olympic and world
:16:30. > :16:35.champion. Depending on which side he looks, he is working out were
:16:35. > :16:45.the biggest threat is. I think he puts his head down for three
:16:45. > :16:49.
:16:49. > :16:59.strokes here. What annoys me, he hit the finished perfectly. Chad Le
:16:59. > :17:05.
:17:05. > :17:11.Clos, world champion. Different way the Looking? The commentators were
:17:11. > :17:15.getting perplexed? Sometimes I am nervous. I will look around, and
:17:15. > :17:23.make sure I am in the right position. I have done it from a
:17:23. > :17:28.young age. It is not a good example. You're not going to change it,
:17:29. > :17:33.really? I like to know where I am in the field. I like to make sure I
:17:33. > :17:43.am ahead and make sure I am in touching distance going into the
:17:43. > :17:50.
:17:50. > :17:54.last 54 stuff that is my game plan. Chad Le Clos, delighted to have the
:17:54. > :17:58.World Championship to his Olympic gold. Cementing his brilliance in
:17:58. > :18:02.the butterfly. What is going on, I know the commentators quite
:18:02. > :18:08.perplexed about this head-turning. He does it consistently through the
:18:08. > :18:14.raised? We look at it and think it is like a schoolboy, but Olympic
:18:14. > :18:19.champion and now world champion, it is how he likes to swim. When you
:18:19. > :18:25.are in the water, you cut your own length. Keep focusing on your own
:18:25. > :18:32.thing. How much time could that be using up? I think he practises it
:18:32. > :18:38.in training. He must do, because he swims so fast with it, but he was
:18:38. > :18:44.two seconds of from last year. But he still won. If there was someone
:18:44. > :18:48.else there, he had another second in him? I am not saying he was
:18:48. > :18:54.holding back, but is that the impetus he needs by having someone
:18:54. > :18:59.next to him? He won the Olympic gold by such a tiny margin, he does
:18:59. > :19:04.not over exert himself, he likes the challenge. I don't think he was
:19:04. > :19:10.looking around too much against a Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps was
:19:10. > :19:19.the one to chase, now he has of the one to be chased. Pawel
:19:19. > :19:25.Korzeniowski, a great silver medal as well. Definitely. Market loves
:19:25. > :19:29.his stroke. He reckons he has the best stroke in the field. The fact
:19:29. > :19:35.he won his world Championship eight years ago, and to carry on at that
:19:35. > :19:41.level is tremendous. We have a great race, it is the women's 200-
:19:41. > :19:51.metre freestyle final. We have the Italian, Federica Pellegrini, up
:19:51. > :20:08.
:20:08. > :20:14.against Missy Franklin from America. But she has come up in the leader.
:20:14. > :20:20.Her reaction to the gun was low. In six, the Olympic champion in the
:20:20. > :20:26.white hat, going out there fairly fierce -- fast in this first 50.
:20:26. > :20:32.was looking forward to this tonight. Can Federica Pellegrini really do
:20:32. > :20:42.it? She is turning last. Always comes back strongly. Missy Franklin
:20:42. > :20:52.
:20:52. > :20:59.at the moment. She won't be able to catch them up on that distance on
:20:59. > :21:04.the world record? Missy Franklin lets her come in. At 75 metres,
:21:04. > :21:11.just 25 into the wall. Missy Franklin is putting on a huge
:21:11. > :21:16.sprint. My looks like the Olympic champion is trying to go with her.
:21:16. > :21:23.The rest of the field will come back and Federica Pellegrini is
:21:23. > :21:33.about three metres behind. Federica Pellegrini, I expect to get on the
:21:33. > :21:34.
:21:34. > :21:41.medal podium. But she has been known to switch off. Federica he --
:21:41. > :21:47.Federica Pellegrini coming back like a rocket. The 18-year-old,
:21:47. > :21:56.Missy Franklin, is currently leading. But look how fast Federica
:21:56. > :22:02.Pellegrini is coming back. I think Missy Franklin are well hold on.
:22:02. > :22:08.The world record holder gets the silver medal. What a world-class
:22:08. > :22:13.field and what an amazing race. Perfect tactics from this young
:22:13. > :22:22.lady, Missy Franklin, from the USA. For somebody so young to have read
:22:22. > :22:32.that field is spot on for an 18- year-old. And knowing the strength
:22:32. > :22:35.
:22:35. > :22:40.of Camille Moffat, using it strongly. Almost fell off the block.
:22:40. > :22:45.0.2 slower than the rest of the field with her reaction to the gun.
:22:45. > :22:51.Perfect pacing, using the people around her. Camille Muffat, the
:22:51. > :23:01.Olympic champion, using the Olympic champion, the audacity of it!
:23:01. > :23:10.
:23:10. > :23:16.In it is 35 years since an American lady has won a gold medal. I did
:23:16. > :23:22.not know that. Well done, youth. Did it you plan matter with your
:23:22. > :23:27.coach? Absolutely, we knew I would have to be out fast. Federica
:23:27. > :23:32.Pellegrini has a very good back half, and I could see her creeping
:23:32. > :23:37.up. I was praying for the wall to come. Your experience is building
:23:37. > :23:44.all of the time. Is that number three you have got now? That is
:23:44. > :23:54.number three. Having got a special box to put them in? There is a safe
:23:54. > :23:54.
:23:54. > :24:01.in the hotel I put them in. I am so excited. To be a part of the
:24:01. > :24:07.swimming team, it is incredible, I am going to learn so much. I swam
:24:07. > :24:14.it with your coach over 20 years ago, I wish you luck. Thanks.
:24:14. > :24:19.What a race from the 18-year-old, Missy Franklin. It was perfect and
:24:19. > :24:27.Federica Pellegrini, a power. If that pool was two metres longer, it
:24:27. > :24:31.would have been hers? Without a doubt. Federica Pellegrini only
:24:31. > :24:37.entered the 200 metres late, and she walked away with the silver
:24:37. > :24:41.medal. Just have a word on Federica Pellegrini, her career has been
:24:42. > :24:47.over such a great length of time, for a swimmer to retain that form
:24:47. > :24:56.and class over a long period, it takes some going? Those middle-
:24:56. > :25:02.distance events, the training in general, is very hard. To keep the
:25:02. > :25:06.mind set. A world record, his three seconds faster than that. To get in
:25:06. > :25:09.and beat yourself up every day, and the things the public do not see is
:25:09. > :25:17.the training that goes into make that possible. A lot of hours spent
:25:17. > :25:21.in the pool and the gym. She is 25 in about a week, Federica
:25:21. > :25:30.Pellegrini. You have 18-year-old Missy Franklin, has she got about
:25:30. > :25:35.seven years at the top of her again? If she wants it? Definitely.
:25:35. > :25:40.Federica Pellegrini has stopped doing the 400 now, she is focusing
:25:40. > :25:45.on the shorter events, which she is better at a stop Missy Franklin can
:25:45. > :25:50.pick and choose what she likes. She is so good and so talented. She is
:25:51. > :25:54.going to have a long career. will be seeing a lot of her in Rio.
:25:54. > :25:59.It was a race that lived up to the billing. We hope there will be
:25:59. > :26:09.plenty of those. In less than a week's time, it will be the start
:26:09. > :26:41.
:26:41. > :26:45.of the track and field World The next Final tonight is the men's
:26:45. > :26:52.50-metre breaststroke. We know Cameron van der Burgh is in flying
:26:52. > :27:02.form. He posted a time just outside of his own world record in
:27:02. > :27:12.
:27:12. > :27:20.qualifying. And he break that van der Burgh. The final of the
:27:20. > :27:26.men's 50 metres backstroke -- breaststroke. Cameron van der Burgh
:27:27. > :27:32.is looking very good. Also going well is Christian Sprenger of
:27:32. > :27:42.Australia. It looks like it might be Christian Sprenger with five
:27:42. > :27:42.
:27:42. > :27:52.metres to go. Cameron van der Burgh got a touch. Just outside the world
:27:52. > :27:53.
:27:53. > :27:59.record. Christian Sprenger have it! That look like my Olympic final.
:27:59. > :28:04.Christian Sprenger went in first, but Cameron van der Burgh put his
:28:04. > :28:08.last stroke in and overtook on the actual launch. He wasn't a winning.
:28:08. > :28:16.The South African getting that bronze medal. So obviously Cameron
:28:16. > :28:22.van der Burgh is pleased for his team mate. Joao Gomes Junior
:28:22. > :28:26.getting a surprise that bronze medal. We have talked on a couple
:28:26. > :28:30.of events, when you are about 10 metres out, you can adjust the
:28:30. > :28:36.length of your stroke to make sure that when your hands go forward you
:28:36. > :28:42.touch the wall at that point, and Christian Sprenger did not get it?
:28:42. > :28:49.No, he wasn't ahead as far as I thought. He launches himself into
:28:49. > :28:59.the wall first. Actually, Cameron van der Burgh did. Christian
:28:59. > :29:17.
:29:17. > :29:24.You stole that from him because of your fantastic finish. It has been
:29:24. > :29:29.a roller-coaster. I have been sick and been congested. You mentioned
:29:29. > :29:36.your shoulder injury, no sign of it? You don't feel it's swimming,
:29:36. > :29:42.it is always afterwards. I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow morning.
:29:42. > :29:47.You'll have a quick beer now? then call it a day. It is turning
:29:47. > :29:51.into a fabulous night the South Africa in the pool. Just, for
:29:51. > :29:56.Cameron van der Burgh, he got it spot on? The race was perfect for
:29:56. > :30:02.him. The is the world record holder, but the finish, which it came down
:30:02. > :30:06.to the finish in the end, Christian Sprenger was coming back to him. He
:30:06. > :30:11.took two tiny strokes, he would have been better gliding into the
:30:11. > :30:17.wall. It could have gone the other way. When would that decision had
:30:17. > :30:21.been made? In the split-second. In training, when you are coming into
:30:21. > :30:27.the walls, butterfly and breaststroke is easier because
:30:27. > :30:31.you're looking at the wall. You know you are three strokes off the
:30:31. > :30:41.wall and you change your pattern accordingly. That is what Cameron
:30:41. > :30:52.
:30:52. > :30:56.Poor South Africa it is a very strong night. Last night it was
:30:56. > :31:02.about the USA. For the Commonwealth it bodes well for strength and
:31:02. > :31:06.depth. The top three will be in the Commonwealth Games next year.

:31:10. > :31:16.looking forward to the Commonwealth Games, but let's hope the Brits
:31:16. > :31:26.somewhere can get in there. We have one coming up next. We have the
:31:26. > :31:45.
:31:45. > :31:53.women's 200m butterfly semis. Jemma good start from her. The world
:31:53. > :32:03.record holder in lane five, Zige Liu. Katinka Hosszu and Zige Liu
:32:03. > :32:10.
:32:10. > :32:20.typically go out fardels -- fast. It is as expected. Zige Liu is
:32:20. > :32:30.taking it out. Also Katerine Savard in lane one. Jemma Lowe looks in
:32:30. > :32:38.
:32:38. > :32:44.good shape. And she is tracking the world record holder. Let's hope
:32:44. > :32:49.that she can continue despite stock that was a very fast first 100. She
:32:49. > :32:55.is a really tough swimmer, Jemma Lowe, and she has got a chance here.
:32:55. > :33:02.It is a very good position. Sometimes with the 200m you are not
:33:02. > :33:07.sure how people will take them out. You can see the American Cammile
:33:07. > :33:15.Adams in lane three. She can see along the line with her breathing
:33:16. > :33:23.style. Jemma Lowe has dropped down to 6th. She will have to dig in. It
:33:23. > :33:33.was a great first 100. But she is tailing off now. Exactly what we
:33:33. > :33:43.saw this morning, Zige Liu tying up. Coming very three strongly through
:33:43. > :33:47.
:33:47. > :33:55.his cameo Adams. Katinka Hosszu is coming through. -- cameo Adams.
:33:55. > :34:05.Jemma Lowe was 6th. Look at Adams. She is going to be in the final and
:34:05. > :34:13.
:34:13. > :34:17.I guess it was the way you had to swim it. Tonight I knew I would
:34:17. > :34:25.have to go but it, but it was not good enough to get into the final.
:34:25. > :34:30.That is it. The it is a stacked second semi-final. Both of them are
:34:30. > :34:36.going to be fast and you have to be in the top four or three to get in.
:34:37. > :34:43.Does that mean back to the drawing board? Yes, it has not been easy
:34:43. > :34:49.after the Olympics and I have been training as hard as I ever have had,
:34:49. > :34:55.but hopefully I will get better. Not good news for Jemma Lowe, she
:34:55. > :34:59.does not qualified. But the Spaniard, Belmonte Garcia won the
:34:59. > :35:09.second semi-final and she brought the house down with her performance.
:35:09. > :35:13.
:35:13. > :35:18.It is looking good for Spain. Jemma Lowe's rays and then her
:35:18. > :35:24.competition generally, perhaps it is time for her to choose between
:35:24. > :35:30.the 100 and a 200. It is harder as you get older, especially as a
:35:30. > :35:35.woman, to focus on one event. The 100 and 200, I think she is better
:35:35. > :35:40.at the 100. The 200 she has not done her best time for quite a
:35:40. > :35:47.while, so I think it is time for her to move down and see what
:35:47. > :35:51.happens. If not, she can always change back to doing both. She is
:35:51. > :35:56.three seconds off her personal best, so maybe changing something might
:35:56. > :36:03.help in the future. It is not that she has papered incorrectly, it
:36:03. > :36:07.might be time to give herself a slimmer programme. What she will be
:36:07. > :36:11.looking at is the fact she knows the times she has done before would
:36:11. > :36:15.have qualified for the final and would have stood a chance for
:36:15. > :36:20.winning a medal. When you come to these championships and knowing
:36:20. > :36:26.when you are at your best, you can go for the podium. I disagree with
:36:26. > :36:30.Becky in I think she can do both races still. She is in a distance
:36:30. > :36:36.programmes in Swansea and she still has more of. The field is not
:36:36. > :36:41.getting any faster, so she can get back. You were pointing out that
:36:41. > :36:46.most of the women in these races are around that mid-20s age. The it
:36:46. > :36:52.is not a young event yet, it is about trying to change something. I
:36:52. > :36:57.do not know what she is doing in her training, her gymnastic work,
:36:57. > :37:02.or what she can change back. She can try something new. Maybe trying
:37:02. > :37:08.something different might help her. More British interest in the next
:37:08. > :37:18.race, the men's 200-metre individual medley. Roberto Pavoni
:37:18. > :37:18.
:37:18. > :37:28.goes in this. This is his preferred event. In the second semi-final is
:37:28. > :37:53.
:37:53. > :37:58.Ryan Lochte, the world champion and Going out very fast next to him is
:37:58. > :38:08.Conor Dwyer of the USA. Absolutely, and we know he has got a very good
:38:08. > :38:20.
:38:20. > :38:24.freestyle. His last lane will be strong. -- his last legs. Roberto
:38:24. > :38:34.Pavoni is a decent breaststroke her, but he needs to be because the rest
:38:34. > :38:35.
:38:35. > :38:44.of the field is getting away from him. Kosuke Hagino's style is
:38:44. > :38:54.beatable. Roberto Pavoni has got some work to do, but he can still
:38:54. > :38:55.
:38:55. > :39:03.do it. Conor Dwyer is going to turn and have an impact on this field.
:39:03. > :39:11.He will have to do some work on his freestyle. Thiago Pereira is
:39:11. > :39:16.maximising the breaststroke again. It is good to see the Australian.
:39:16. > :39:25.The Aussies have had such a tough time of it recently and now they
:39:25. > :39:31.are throwing some swimmers back at it again. Meerkat Kosuke Hagino
:39:31. > :39:36.coming back in the black hat of Japan. Really powerful. He has
:39:36. > :39:46.declared he wants to win this medal. If he wants to be Ryan Lochte, he
:39:46. > :39:56.has got some work to do. Roberto Pavoni finished 7th. He will not
:39:56. > :40:00.
:40:00. > :40:07.What does it take to get through to those finals? You have to produce a
:40:07. > :40:11.personal best. For me I am having to swim fast in the heats to
:40:11. > :40:18.qualify for the semi-finals. I am disappointed I did not improve on
:40:18. > :40:23.that tonight. Relatively good times, second and third best ever, so I
:40:23. > :40:33.cannot be too upset. I qualified for my first semi-final ever at
:40:33. > :40:47.
:40:47. > :40:57.this level, so I am happy but is in lane three in the black hat
:40:57. > :40:57.
:40:58. > :41:07.going pretty quickly in these first 50m. He looks good. Ryan Lochte has
:41:08. > :41:12.
:41:12. > :41:22.got a good flight and a good back and a good freestyle. Laszlo Cseh
:41:22. > :41:25.
:41:25. > :41:31.is in 4th. Laszlo Cseh has got the bald head. Alongside him is the
:41:31. > :41:37.black hat of Ryan Lochte. Laszlo Cseh turns first at the halfway
:41:37. > :41:42.mark. This is fairly comfortable for Ryan Lochte. He is not the
:41:42. > :41:48.greatest at breaststroke. Quite a few people could come back to him.
:41:49. > :41:58.Laszlo Cseh has got a good breaststroke. You have got Henrique
:41:58. > :42:08.Rodrigues as well. Ryan Lochte is working it very hard, clearly a
:42:08. > :42:12.
:42:12. > :42:17.tactic. He destroyed them on that breaststroke. Look at the superb
:42:18. > :42:27.turn. His turning on the freestyle is stunning. This is really
:42:27. > :42:31.impressive. Laszlo Cseh is second and nobody else is in the picture.
:42:31. > :42:41.Maybe Markus Diebler in bed. He is switching off now and saving his
:42:41. > :43:01.
:43:01. > :43:07.energy. He is a gold medal favour What a find we are going to have
:43:07. > :43:14.tomorrow night. Are we looking at another it duel? Visit Ryan Lochte
:43:14. > :43:17.and Kosuke Hagino. Absolutely, but I think Ryan Lochte has got it. His
:43:17. > :43:22.turning is exceptional. He took so much out of the field and then he
:43:22. > :43:27.eased off at the end to save his energy. I am expecting big things
:43:27. > :43:32.of him tomorrow. He was behind Michael Phelps last year and in
:43:32. > :43:36.London and this is his time. He has really enjoyed the celebrity. He
:43:36. > :43:41.had his own reality show on the States and there was a risky was
:43:41. > :43:46.going to take his eye off the ball. But he is looking good. I think he
:43:46. > :43:52.would have looked in the mirror and said, what is he going to do now?
:43:52. > :43:59.That is his event. He dominated in 2012 and beat Michael Phelps. He
:43:59. > :44:04.was hurting after coming 4th in the 200m freestyle. He wants to put
:44:04. > :44:08.that right. A lot of people will be looking at him and saying, the
:44:08. > :44:14.reality show and now you are not performing. Are you a celebrity or
:44:14. > :44:20.a swimmer? With those shoes, there is an element of showbiz right down
:44:20. > :44:25.to his feet. What are they all about? He has got a personality and
:44:25. > :44:30.it is nice to see it come through. He is a character and it is nice to
:44:30. > :44:37.see it and I am sure his team-mates loved it. It is not something I
:44:37. > :44:42.would have. We will leave it to him. It sounds like he is the favourite
:44:42. > :44:48.tomorrow night. This is the final event of the evening, the men's
:44:48. > :44:58.800m. This man is looking to complete a gruelling political
:44:58. > :45:16.
:45:16. > :45:22.stock he won gold on Sunday. It is really looking forward to this one.
:45:22. > :45:30.Sun Yang of China, only a second faster squalor fire. This is going
:45:30. > :45:36.to be a cracker. World Championship final of the men's 800 metres
:45:36. > :45:42.freestyle final. Sun Yang with the white hat and the red flag of China
:45:42. > :45:50.in the centre. He has the most beautiful freestyle stroke. He is
:45:50. > :46:00.so efficient under water, it is incredible. 16 months of the pool.
:46:00. > :46:15.
:46:15. > :46:22.record on this event. It is held by another Chinese man who won the
:46:22. > :46:29.World Championships in Rome. But it right on the world record pace.
:46:29. > :46:35.Could it go here? He will have to go a bit faster. It was a very fast
:46:35. > :46:45.world record, it was set in Rome at the last World Championships when
:46:45. > :46:49.
:46:49. > :46:53.they were wearing a long body suits which have been banned and now.
:46:53. > :47:02.They were proven to give people an advantage. It is a tough Ward
:47:02. > :47:11.record to beat. I am surprised Oussama Mellouli is there. He is
:47:11. > :47:18.trying to push the pace early. Ryan Cochrane, very tough. Hardly
:47:18. > :47:28.kicking his feet. Just amazing. Greatest distance freestyler in
:47:28. > :47:35.
:47:35. > :47:45.history. 200 metres down on this 800 metres world final. The 17-
:47:45. > :47:47.
:47:47. > :47:57.year-old Australian is in second. Jordan Harrison's coach also
:47:57. > :48:01.
:48:01. > :48:05.coached Sun Yang for a time. He was told to concentrate on the
:48:05. > :48:12.Australians for a while, rather than the Chinese! The Australian
:48:12. > :48:16.need some more men, the great nation that it is. They have had a
:48:16. > :48:22.lack of kids that have made it through to this level in the last
:48:22. > :48:27.few years. There is a decent swimmer at the moment, Jordan
:48:27. > :48:32.Harrison of Australia. Currently in third position, but still Sun Yang
:48:32. > :48:40.leading. I get the feeling he is playing with them at the moment. He
:48:40. > :48:47.does not look like he is all guns blazing at the moment. Sun Yang,
:48:47. > :48:51.leading ephedrine. Ryan Cochrane in second the cannon there. Connor
:48:51. > :48:58.Jaeger looks as though he may have moved into third position. This is
:48:58. > :49:04.not a world record for Sun Yang. He is not after the time, he is after
:49:04. > :49:11.the medal. This is his best way. Not yet a world record swim.
:49:11. > :49:19.are right, the way he does go about things. When he turns his legs on,
:49:19. > :49:28.they go quickly. Ryan Cochrane in second place. At the halfway mark.
:49:28. > :49:36.Sun Yang has led from the start. Ryan Cochrane has just made a move.
:49:36. > :49:42.Connor Jaeger, Kwok -- fastest qualifier after the heats. They are
:49:42. > :49:47.starting to make a move and Sun Yang. Also coming through his
:49:47. > :49:56.Mcbroom of the USA. Jordan harass and, this is much tighter than I
:49:56. > :50:05.thought it would be. Ryan Cochrane will be thinking, this is his best
:50:05. > :50:12.shot. Looking good. Cochrane has been a stalwart for the Canadians.
:50:12. > :50:17.He is still there delivering podium finishes. But it you are right, Sun
:50:17. > :50:23.Yang letting the field surround him. I think he is playing with them.
:50:23. > :50:32.Six lengths to go and Sun Yang of China looks comfortable. He is
:50:32. > :50:42.starting to pick up the pace a little bit. Coming with him at the
:50:42. > :50:43.
:50:43. > :50:53.moment is Michael Mcbroom. Ryan Cochrane seems to have made his
:50:53. > :51:00.move and it has not worked. Yang doing well are now. Mickey is
:51:00. > :51:10.in great shape. Great technique. Starting to kick his legs a little
:51:10. > :51:10.
:51:10. > :51:20.bit more. I think he has got them where he wants them. I hope. I am a
:51:20. > :51:22.
:51:22. > :51:32.fan of his. Mcbroom is very well. 200 metres left. Sun Yang, I think,
:51:32. > :51:32.
:51:32. > :51:41.playing with them. His fingers are slightly open. Such a long stroke.
:51:41. > :51:47.He pulls the water all the way back to his feet. Could Ryan Cochrane be
:51:47. > :51:57.out of the medals? Interesting, the two Americans are very well. They
:51:57. > :52:00.
:52:01. > :52:09.are tracking Sun Yang. Cochrane has a decent sprint on him. Sun Yang
:52:09. > :52:15.starting to put a kick on. 100 metres to go, I don't think the
:52:15. > :52:21.others will live with him. Mcbroom is having a go four-star Sun Yang
:52:21. > :52:29.of China leading and has taken two metres out of the field in about
:52:29. > :52:39.the space of 20. That is Sun Yang. He looks a very good. He has just
:52:39. > :52:45.played with them. The silver, bronze and 4th is the tight.
:52:45. > :52:55.Yang is two body lengths ahead of the field. Looking left and right.
:52:55. > :52:58.
:52:58. > :53:02.The saving a little bit. Here he goes. USA, USA, Canada. It looks
:53:02. > :53:08.like the gold medal and world Championship title will go to Sun
:53:08. > :53:18.Yang of China. Silver, bronze and forth, what a surprise. Mcbroom
:53:18. > :53:18.
:53:18. > :53:23.might get the silver. Sun Yang wins it. An amazing swim. He played with
:53:23. > :53:33.them for 600 metres and then blew them away at the end. The bronze to
:53:33. > :53:52.
:53:52. > :53:56.Ryan Cochrane of Canada for stun The Sun Yang's second gold medal of
:53:56. > :54:03.these championships. What a motion he was showing in the water and on
:54:03. > :54:07.the podium. It has been a huge year. A lot of training goes into it and
:54:07. > :54:11.it is lovely to see the emotion come out. You don't know what goes
:54:11. > :54:18.into training, a lot of time spent on your own with your head in the
:54:18. > :54:23.water. You were saying to me as well, how big the Chinese
:54:23. > :54:28.championships art which take place in a few weeks. To them, almost
:54:28. > :54:31.bigger than any other world level championships? They have four
:54:31. > :54:36.provinces in China and their funding is determined on how well
:54:36. > :54:42.they do in those championships. It is the lead-up to that
:54:42. > :54:46.championships. A lot of the guys here, you think why aren't they so
:54:46. > :54:52.well here, but in four weeks' time, they would set times ago would have
:54:52. > :55:00.won medals here. It is just the way the funding system is in China.
:55:00. > :55:06.Pushed by the American, Michael Mcbroom? He had a fantastic race,
:55:06. > :55:11.knocked four seconds off his best. Nice to see a new boy coming up and
:55:11. > :55:16.not predicted in a medal. Looking forward to the 1,500 as well.
:55:16. > :55:21.have won our first medal, Great Britain of these aquatic
:55:21. > :55:30.Championships. It is in the high diving. It was won by Gary Hunt. He
:55:31. > :55:35.took silver. That high diving is 27 metres. You have to enter the water
:55:35. > :55:40.feet first. It is too dangerous to go in head first from 27 metres. He
:55:40. > :55:45.went into those finals in 4th place, improving and getting close to the
:55:45. > :55:53.gold as well. You don't need me to tell you how
:55:53. > :55:58.close it was, what is your reaction to that final routine? Obviously,
:55:58. > :56:03.straight after the dive, I was disappointed. I had done it under
:56:03. > :56:07.pressure before, and today it wasn't there on the finish. It is
:56:07. > :56:11.very important to enter the water without a splash. I saw how close
:56:11. > :56:16.it was, so obviously I am disappointed not to be on the top
:56:16. > :56:21.of the podium. I did for could dives and Degas me onto the podium
:56:21. > :56:25.with a silver medal, so I am very happy. A silver medal is an
:56:25. > :56:28.incredible achievement, and the first time it has been here at a
:56:28. > :56:38.World Aquatics Championships. What do you think that medal could mean
:56:38. > :56:44.the Great Britain? I hope British diving and, people can see it is a
:56:44. > :56:49.serious sport. We can only progress if all get help. We have a good
:56:49. > :56:55.results today. Matthew did very well and he is only just starting.
:56:55. > :57:00.It is important we get help from were ever we can. I am glad I have
:57:00. > :57:09.got onto the podium to maybe help us in the right direction. It is
:57:09. > :57:14.not exactly where we thought we might get a first medal from, but
:57:14. > :57:21.Bravo Gary Hunt. We have driven past it will stop it is near the
:57:21. > :57:28.end arena, and it is fighting the Hyde? Do you fancy ads? Absolutely
:57:28. > :57:34.not. We did go on the ten-metre bought on the first day to film the
:57:34. > :57:40.opening Lynx. No one was very comfortable. Tomorrow we have two
:57:41. > :57:44.Brits, Lauren and Georgia Davies in the 50 metres backstroke? I am
:57:44. > :57:48.excited. It has been a better night for the Brits, and hopefully it
:57:48. > :57:54.will bring more tomorrow night. Hopefully in the next few days we
:57:54. > :57:58.will see a lot more Brits in action. We're hoping we may have Andrew
:57:58. > :58:03.Willis and Michael Jamieson as well? On the back of the Olympic
:58:04. > :58:06.Games, they have great results. We did not see what we wanted to see
:58:06. > :58:11.in the 100 metres, but this is their main event. The more people
:58:11. > :58:16.we get people in two finals it will help the younger members of the
:58:16. > :58:19.team to see they can make the finals. It will help and it has a
