Day 6

:01:00. > :01:10.Championships. If you were hoping for the Gulf, the weather has put

:01:10. > :01:10.

:01:10. > :01:15.paid to any more sport today. Who better than to guide you through

:01:15. > :01:22.with their expert analysis than the Sprint supremo Mark Foster and the

:01:22. > :01:27.woman who held the record for the 800 metre freestyle until today,

:01:27. > :01:32.Becky Adlington. There is a chance the record could go. This is a

:01:32. > :01:38.gruelling event which if you could get wrong you will pay for in that

:01:38. > :01:48.lap. Fran Howell Sol has qualified in third place. She goes in lane

:01:48. > :01:55.

:01:55. > :02:01.three. Let's joined the commentators We have had to wait for six days.

:02:01. > :02:10.There have been so many near misses. Unfortunately they do not count.

:02:10. > :02:17.Look at that. They have missed on their costumes. We had 9000 in

:02:17. > :02:26.tonight. This was the gymnastic stadium for the Olympic Games back

:02:26. > :02:29.in 1992. There were 9000 in last night. They were cheering for the

:02:29. > :02:39.Spanish team but massively for France. The French team is really

:02:39. > :02:41.

:02:41. > :02:44.well supported. It is just over the border from Barcelona. Melanie

:02:44. > :02:49.border from Barcelona. Melanie Henique qualified after the heat.

:02:49. > :02:57.She was in 16th equal position. She's made it all the way through.

:02:57. > :03:04.She had a fantastic time. What about Fran Halsall? This is a first final,

:03:04. > :03:08.so she has only done two races this year, the 50 fly and the 50

:03:08. > :03:15.freestyle, and hopefully the final tomorrow. She could get two medals,

:03:15. > :03:23.and I have to say, she should get two medals. They are her speciality

:03:23. > :03:28.sprint events and she looked fantastic in the heats. That is in

:03:28. > :03:34.the British swimming team, those two guys, by the way! Anyway, Fran

:03:34. > :03:40.looked quite nervous. I think she calmed down, so I am looking for

:03:40. > :03:48.some nervous because she swam quicker. She said she snatched the

:03:48. > :03:58.first two strokes and she won't be doing that here. House all, but also

:03:58. > :04:01.

:04:01. > :04:09.Jeanette Ottesen Grey very fast. It's going to be mighty tight when

:04:09. > :04:16.they all swim well. If they don't, I think Jeanette is going to take it.

:04:16. > :04:24.It is about every little detail. Getting their reaction guns going,

:04:24. > :04:29.and you can gain 0.2 seconds, reaction time, entry into water,

:04:29. > :04:36.your strokes and the all-important finish. The first two strokes Fran

:04:36. > :04:39.didn't get right. She said she will fix it. She said she snatched. The

:04:39. > :04:49.defending champion in lane seven, near the outside, Inge Dekker of

:04:49. > :04:50.

:04:50. > :05:00.Holland. And, here, Dana Vollmer. This might be a little bit short for

:05:00. > :05:04.

:05:04. > :05:08.her. Listen to the raw. Melanie Henique of France. She has qualified

:05:08. > :05:14.for the fastest for the final. Fran Halsall of Great Britain. She broke

:05:14. > :05:20.the British record in the heats to qualify in the semis. She needs to

:05:20. > :05:25.swim quickly to get a medal. And the Olympic champion on the 50 and a

:05:25. > :05:34.hundred metres freestyle, she's big time, she knows how to deal with the

:05:34. > :05:38.big races. She knows what to do. think she is a threat. Jeanette

:05:38. > :05:46.Ottesen Grey was out to November, she took a long rest. She has taken

:05:46. > :05:52.some time to get back. Ballmer took time off in the States, too. Some of

:05:52. > :05:58.these ladies have had arrest since London. So I think that is where the

:05:58. > :06:02.threat will come, in lane four. six tenths of a second between the

:06:02. > :06:12.women after the semifinal of this women's 50-metre butterfly. One

:06:12. > :06:16.

:06:16. > :06:20.length - butterfly. It took 25.8 seconds to get a medal in Shanghai.

:06:20. > :06:30.Fran looks suitably focused. And relaxed. She has a smile on our

:06:30. > :06:46.

:06:46. > :06:56.face. -- she has a smile on her great start in fourth the Jeanette

:06:56. > :06:57.

:06:57. > :07:04.Ottesen Grey the Denmark. Lu of China going well. Ottesen Grey look

:07:04. > :07:14.like she might get it. The silver has gone to Kromowidjojo. Goodness

:07:14. > :07:18.me, Lu of China has got the bronze. Fran Halsall, 17th hundreds outside

:07:18. > :07:23.the bronze medal position. What a great start from the Dane. Talking

:07:23. > :07:28.about those details, this one has got the best reaction to the gun and

:07:28. > :07:35.those first five metres. Fran only 100 saw the second often British

:07:35. > :07:42.record, so close to her best time, she did well, but not well enough.

:07:42. > :07:50.Here we go. Ottesen Grey, three orange suits and a black suit above

:07:50. > :07:57.that is Ottesen Grey. Going in, Fran next to her. There we go. Great

:07:57. > :08:04.start. She won it on the start. first 15 metres, she was flying.

:08:04. > :08:09.Look at the finish. Arms around, hit the wall. That is how you win a

:08:09. > :08:19.sprint for the World Championships. She is focused on both of these

:08:19. > :08:20.

:08:20. > :08:27.events. Losing did very well as well. -- Lou did very well as well.

:08:27. > :08:34.Denmark are on fire! Absolutely on fire. Pedersen winning in the 200

:08:34. > :08:44.meter breaststroke. Lotte Friis as well. So, Jeanette Ottesen Grey of

:08:44. > :08:45.

:08:45. > :08:52.Denmark winning gold, Lu of China the silver, Kromowidjojo the bronze.

:08:52. > :08:57.Fran Halsall came fourth. If we're lucky, I we have Fran Halsall with

:08:57. > :09:04.lucky, I we have Fran Halsall with Sharron. Just 100th slower than use

:09:04. > :09:08.on the other day. A very tight race. It was. I just swam my own race. It

:09:08. > :09:14.was a PB yesterday morning. I knew I was swimming fast and I was there or

:09:14. > :09:19.thereabouts. You said not to snatch the first couple of strokes, do you

:09:19. > :09:25.think you did that? I was a lot better today. But, you know, these

:09:25. > :09:33.things happen. Fourth place, it's horrible, but the other girls were

:09:33. > :09:39.better than me. You qualified second for the semifinal. 50 freestyle has

:09:39. > :09:43.been my main one this year. I am looking forward to the final.

:09:43. > :09:50.is part of the bigger plan to Rio. You will have Cate Campbell to take

:09:50. > :09:57.on. She's great, isn't she?! It's good. Having those people doing

:09:57. > :10:01.those kinds of times, it shows they can be done. As long as one person

:10:01. > :10:08.does it, everyone else is capable of doing it. It is just setting the

:10:08. > :10:12.standard, and you've got to try and get back with that. Did you want to

:10:12. > :10:18.give yourself a bit of a rest? didn't have a coach till January so

:10:18. > :10:23.that made the decision easier. I was doing bits and bobs before that. 50,

:10:23. > :10:28.you don't need a massive background. It is about speed, power and the

:10:28. > :10:35.start, and they have been getting better. So there is positives to

:10:35. > :10:40.take from it. Good luck in the 53. Fran Halsall, fourth, which is the

:10:40. > :10:45.most depressing, crushing position. We have had too many fourth here.

:10:46. > :10:52.Jaz Carlin. You can see it on their face. She expected more. For this

:10:52. > :10:55.horrible, but that was a great swim from Fran. I think she swam a great

:10:55. > :11:01.race but she lost it on the start. The other girls had a great start,

:11:01. > :11:10.she lost out. She will go back, analyse it, she will work on it, but

:11:10. > :11:17.she has dropped the 100, has that had any effect? I don't think so.

:11:17. > :11:20.She didn't have a coach until January, as she said. Her coach is

:11:20. > :11:25.looking after sprinters and is used to looking after sprinters. She is

:11:25. > :11:29.as good as she has got. She performed at the right time. What

:11:29. > :11:36.she needs to work on, to me, she needs to get stronger, she needs

:11:36. > :11:40.more strength. Does that mean the gym? Absolutely. Transfer that into

:11:40. > :11:46.the water. It is there, it's not gone away. She will work for another

:11:46. > :11:50.year, she will be back, better and stronger and faster. It is now over

:11:50. > :12:00.50 free for the men's. The quickest guys in the water. Some of them are

:12:00. > :12:07.

:12:07. > :12:16.over 30. I wonder if it is time for There was the Olympic champion, the

:12:16. > :12:24.fastest qualifier. I continue the big guys are absolutely everywhere.

:12:24. > :12:32.The record-holder is in sixth. Morozov is next to him. Any one of

:12:32. > :12:38.these can win it. The fastest human beings in water. What on earth

:12:38. > :12:48.happened to name five? No idea, but it looks like the Olympic champion,

:12:48. > :13:00.

:13:00. > :13:07.it again. The time is relatively quick. 21.32. Morozov gets silver.

:13:07. > :13:15.What a shock that is. We will look at the replay. Manaudou was left

:13:15. > :13:24.behind. The Brazilian is very excited, screaming. He is not used

:13:24. > :13:29.all his energy. The Brazilian, Russian and from the daddy and

:13:29. > :13:37.trained at American universities. Very good. I can't wait to see the

:13:37. > :13:47.replay. Three world titles in a row, that is his third world

:13:47. > :14:02.

:14:02. > :14:09.champion -- or championship title. he did very well, Manaudou, very off

:14:09. > :14:13.the pace, very surprised. I would imagine he would have preferred a

:14:13. > :14:17.better position than that. I am surprised at Manaudou. Manaudou

:14:17. > :14:27.didn't swim very well. That is a massive surprise. Not a surprise

:14:27. > :14:27.

:14:27. > :14:32.that cello won it. Look at the guide. He must've been thinking all

:14:32. > :14:36.sorts outside that last six inches or so. I think that's probably why

:14:36. > :14:39.his reaction is as big as it is. Three World Championship titles in a

:14:40. > :14:49.row. Love the Olympic Games to Manaudou, but Manaudou didn't swim

:14:50. > :14:53.

:14:53. > :15:03.well. I was surprised, actually. The race really was down on this side of

:15:03. > :15:04.

:15:04. > :15:10.the pool. Cielo very consistent and very unnerving with those clear

:15:10. > :15:20.glasses! So, the world-record holder, three times world champion,

:15:20. > :15:20.

:15:20. > :15:24.Cesar Cielo Filho, George Richard Bovril, the bronze, and the Olympic

:15:24. > :15:34.champion, Florence Manaudou down in fifth. What does Mark Foster have to

:15:34. > :15:36.

:15:36. > :15:43.He can do that right now. It wasn't so much the champion, Cielo not such

:15:43. > :15:48.a surprise, but Manaudou and Adrien Evan, what was going on? If were

:15:48. > :15:52.going back to 2003 World Championship final, I came in in

:15:52. > :15:57.work -- lane one, and sometimes the guys on the outside, as we saw in

:15:57. > :16:01.the previous races, sneaking the silver in the women's, oval and

:16:01. > :16:05.Morozov, they had clear water on the outside and sometimes in the middle

:16:05. > :16:09.you get into a dogfight. The tension, the pressure gets to you,

:16:09. > :16:14.and sometimes you tried too hard in your first couple of strokes and you

:16:14. > :16:22.start slipping water. Although you're not looking at the people on

:16:22. > :16:31.the outside, you over revved and try too hard. Irvin doesn't know how to

:16:31. > :16:34.start. Seven of that field actually train in America, the only one that

:16:34. > :16:37.doesn't is Manaudou who's the Olympic champion who is coached by a

:16:37. > :16:47.guy that trains in America. It shows you, in America they create

:16:47. > :16:47.

:16:47. > :16:52.sprinters. So, sprinting is their superstar -- super sport? Week in,

:16:52. > :16:55.week out they race, they train with the best guys in the world, and that

:16:55. > :17:00.level of competition, every training session and every race pushes you to

:17:00. > :17:06.a new level, which is why in Britain, Vicky took Jaz to another

:17:06. > :17:11.level because she had to stick on Becky's feed. And Jaz is there or

:17:12. > :17:15.thereabouts. She just needs to take the extra step. How about the ages?

:17:15. > :17:22.I'm not getting you out of retirement, but there are four

:17:22. > :17:32.swimmers over 30. It is an injury -- and injuring fascination, the older

:17:32. > :17:32.

:17:32. > :17:37.you get, the quicker you get, so the spreads retain swimmers longer. --

:17:37. > :17:45.the sprints retain swimmers longer. Distance events, the swimmers tend

:17:45. > :17:49.to be younger. There is a certain mindset. When your head is in the

:17:49. > :17:53.Waterford to or two and a half hours every morning and evening, you have

:17:53. > :17:58.to switch off, your body have to take the punishment. The body and

:17:58. > :18:02.the mind, one or the other, is going to give up. In athletics, it is the

:18:02. > :18:12.more miles you put into your legs, the distances go up, but in swimming

:18:12. > :18:13.

:18:13. > :18:18.terms, it goes down. The arms get more and more tired. We would love

:18:18. > :18:21.to have more thoughts from you. Now, the backstroke. Missy Franklin going

:18:21. > :18:27.for her fifth gold record which would be a record equalling the most

:18:27. > :18:32.gold medals won at a Championships. gold medals won at a Championships.

:18:32. > :18:39.She is outstanding. She the world-record holder, the defending

:18:39. > :18:44.world champion, she has one for gold medals at these championships so

:18:44. > :18:49.far. If anyone is going to get post her, it could be Belinda Hocking,

:18:49. > :18:58.she got a silver in this event two years ago at the World Championships

:18:58. > :19:04.in Shanghai. The two Americans in three and four. Elizabeth Pelton of

:19:04. > :19:09.the USA fourth in the 100 metres backstroke. She is the collegiate

:19:09. > :19:16.national champion. Big surprise, though, in lane five. No major

:19:16. > :19:23.medals that any needs ever. Best time in the heats, best time in the

:19:23. > :19:32.semifinals and looks very relaxed, but can anybody get near Missy

:19:32. > :19:42.Franklin? She's pretty dangerous. She has had a very busy programme

:19:42. > :19:43.

:19:43. > :19:49.already. She has 16 sessions in total. She will only have four rest

:19:49. > :19:53.sessions. On this one, she has one race only. Is this a best event? She

:19:53. > :19:56.is the world-record holder and I wonder if that might go here.

:19:56. > :20:01.worth watching out for because you will certainly see clear water

:20:01. > :20:11.between her and the rest of the field. The question is whether she

:20:11. > :20:18.

:20:18. > :20:25.can be pushed through that world-record? She has really

:20:25. > :20:29.struggled on the start here. That is not the best start. How black cat

:20:29. > :20:35.right in the centre. Normally we see Missy Franklin comfortably ahead.

:20:35. > :20:41.But it looks as if Missy Franklin is starting to wind it up already in

:20:41. > :20:46.the centre. Her stroke rate is a lot stronger than the other women in the

:20:46. > :20:53.field. Let's keep an eye on the first 50. Just about on world

:20:53. > :21:00.record. It is her world record. Half a second ahead. Head team-mate Liz

:21:00. > :21:05.Pelton, only 19 as well, with her. I think this one will be a good one.

:21:05. > :21:15.She does not like the starting blocks here. She finds them a bit

:21:15. > :21:18.

:21:18. > :21:26.slippy so I think she was a bit tentative. She is four tenths down

:21:26. > :21:31.of the world record. Coldwell of Canada second. That is a surprise.

:21:31. > :21:41.The other American swimmer has had a nightmare. Coldwell swimming very

:21:41. > :22:11.

:22:11. > :22:16.well indeed. And Hocking, with the nice, still head. Really powerful

:22:16. > :22:24.legs. No doubt about the winner in this backstroke championship, it

:22:24. > :22:30.will be Missy Franklin again. At 18 years of age. She was champion in

:22:30. > :22:40.2011 and she is champion again in 2013. World champion Missy Franklin

:22:40. > :22:43.

:22:43. > :22:47.of the USA. The silver has gone to Hocking. The bronze to Caldwell.

:22:47. > :22:53.experience of Hocking taking over. We will see both of those swimmers

:22:53. > :23:03.in Glasgow at the Commonwealth Games next year. That is Caldwell, she had

:23:03. > :23:04.

:23:04. > :23:08.a brilliant meet. The Canadian record every single time. Franklin,

:23:09. > :23:16.we just knew there would always be clear water between Franklin and the

:23:16. > :23:21.rest of the field. The starting blocks are very slippy. An

:23:21. > :23:29.interesting start, head back on the start. Some people pull up that she

:23:29. > :23:35.keeps head back. The blocks themselves, it is a wall, the timing

:23:35. > :23:37.pads, they are plastic and in the water they can be quite slippy. She

:23:37. > :23:42.is finding her feet on the wall slippy because they can slip down if

:23:42. > :23:46.she puts pressure on. A lot of people around the pool are talking

:23:46. > :23:54.about a world record but I think world champion works. It certainly

:23:54. > :24:01.does! She won in Shanghai, she has won the 100 here. She has also won

:24:01. > :24:05.five gold medals now. She is tied for the most successful woman in any

:24:05. > :24:12.championship for five gold medals. She can become the most successful

:24:12. > :24:22.woman in one world championship with six gold medals. That is with team

:24:22. > :24:39.

:24:39. > :24:42.medals. The girl is 18 years old, she could win a sick tomorrow in the

:24:42. > :24:47.medley relay, she is head and shoulders the star of these

:24:47. > :24:52.championships will stop and I like the fact it is a girl as well.

:24:52. > :24:56.have had felt in the past. Everyone wants to keep saying she is the

:24:56. > :25:02.female version of Phelps. She is a great role model. She's always

:25:02. > :25:05.smiling, always happy. She loves the sport. She has a real passion for

:25:05. > :25:09.swimming. And she said she was excited that she would be swimming

:25:09. > :25:13.this tonight because this is the favourite of all her gold medals.

:25:13. > :25:18.Sharon said what are you going to do in the morning and she said she is

:25:18. > :25:23.going to go to a well-known copy shop. But was a big treat for her to

:25:23. > :25:28.go out for a coffee, chill out and come back in the evening. Trust me,

:25:28. > :25:33.those small things make a huge difference in this is' world. This

:25:33. > :25:41.morning was the first morning she has had off in the whole entire meat

:25:41. > :25:45.so I'm sure she relished the Lion and the coffee. We did have the

:25:45. > :25:49.pleasure of seeing the reaction of her coach. He was stood a metre away

:25:49. > :25:56.from her. Mark said that is definitely had coach because no one

:25:56. > :26:02.else would react like this. The guy was animated. I was not sure at

:26:02. > :26:08.first if he was trying to scare us. He was same move. It was about how

:26:08. > :26:13.animated he gets. In the water she will not hear him. But at the same

:26:13. > :26:18.time, that is how involved he is and that is how evolved coaches get day

:26:18. > :26:24.in day out and with the personality of the swimmer, that is how much it

:26:24. > :26:31.means to him. She is going to university next year. It is a very

:26:31. > :26:35.intense relationship. Very intense. What can coach do to affect us is

:26:35. > :26:41.slimming everyday, every evening, what can they do to change things,

:26:41. > :26:45.is it just being there? It is. They are the ones to motivate you. They

:26:45. > :26:51.know how to handle it if you have a disappointment. They know how to get

:26:51. > :26:54.you back into the shape you need to. Your coach is the first person you

:26:54. > :27:02.see and chat to and go into depth about the race. They are so

:27:02. > :27:07.important. I'll is used to look for Bill. I would know how I was going

:27:07. > :27:12.if I saw how he was reacting. I am sure she wants to do similar as

:27:12. > :27:20.well. Let's move on. It has been an extraordinary week for women's

:27:20. > :27:26.breaststroke. Ruta Meilutyte wreck the 100 meter record and then Yuliya

:27:26. > :27:34.Efimova wreck the 200 meter record. Then she broke the 50 metre world

:27:34. > :27:42.record this morning. All three of those are in the semifinals. Rikke

:27:42. > :27:52.Pedersen goes in the first. She is in lane seven. The fastest qualifier

:27:52. > :28:11.

:28:12. > :28:17.morning was the qualifier on the 50 metre breaststroke. Could we see

:28:17. > :28:26.Jessica Hardy get her world record back here? I think she is motivated,

:28:27. > :28:36.that is the shore. She had the world records before this meeting. She saw

:28:37. > :28:41.

:28:41. > :28:45.semifinal of the women's 50 metres stroke. Hardy is the former

:28:45. > :28:55.record-holder in lane four. Rikke Pedersen, the new world record

:28:55. > :29:00.

:29:00. > :29:07.holder is in lane seven. Breeja Larson had a sneaky tweaks there. I

:29:07. > :29:11.think the starter will let it go. The two Americans are indeed middle

:29:11. > :29:19.lanes there. At the moment it does look like it is Breeja Larson.

:29:19. > :29:28.Larsson and Hardy are leading. It looks like Jessica Hardy is going to

:29:28. > :29:38.win and she does. 29.90. She's 91 hundredths faster than she was in

:29:38. > :29:55.

:29:55. > :29:58.world-record, she broke it on the halfway mark, on the way to the

:29:58. > :30:03.hundred world-record. When she had the hundredth world-record, they

:30:03. > :30:09.were broken in the same race. Hardy has finished strongly, she is a

:30:09. > :30:18.threat to the medals. Breeja Larson, good reaction and good start, but

:30:18. > :30:23.she faded. But finish for the Dutch swimmer, in sixth. It was not a

:30:23. > :30:33.great start for Hardy. And that is what saved you! You're desperate!

:30:33. > :30:38.

:30:38. > :30:45.Lets put a bet on the next one. She's just won the semifinals of the

:30:45. > :30:48.50 metres breaststroke. Jessica Hardy winning that first semifinal,

:30:48. > :30:54.12 one hundredths of a second outside the new world-record. Larson

:30:54. > :31:01.is second, Pedersen is third, and is second, Pedersen is third, and

:31:01. > :31:03.not that fast. Well, you think there's going to be

:31:03. > :31:08.a new world-record in the second a new world-record in the second

:31:08. > :31:18.semifinal and going to go to Ruta Meilutyte, but I'm going to call

:31:18. > :31:19.

:31:19. > :31:26.Efimova. Either could do it. Ruta Meilutyte nearly brokered on the way

:31:26. > :31:30.out to winning the 100 metres breaststroke. -- nearly broke it. I

:31:30. > :31:35.actually think you are right. I heard this morning Efimova did not

:31:36. > :31:39.wear her lucky pink hat and she still broke the record, so when she

:31:39. > :31:43.sticks her hat on, same colour as your shorts, she will break it.

:31:43. > :31:49.Efimova, the new world-record holder, she is the fastest qualifier

:31:49. > :31:56.in name four are right next to the hundred metres champion, Ruta

:31:56. > :32:01.Meilutyte of Plymouth and Lithuania. Samantha Murray shall, the slowest

:32:01. > :32:11.qualifier for this semifinal. Silver medallist in the 100 metres

:32:11. > :32:17.

:32:17. > :32:26.breaststroke. Rebecca Ada Vic goes in one. Listen to this crowd. The

:32:26. > :32:30.Spanish swimmer, they are going nuts for her. It is great to see that.

:32:30. > :32:40.Great for this young lady as well, Fiona Doyle, the 21-year-old from

:32:40. > :32:46.Ireland, training in Canada. She can make the final. She really can.

:32:46. > :32:56.30.09 she qualified in. She has a cracking chance. Petric shock of of

:32:56. > :33:01.

:33:01. > :33:11.the Czech Republic -- Petra shock over. It is going to take 30.6 to

:33:11. > :33:24.

:33:24. > :33:28.make the final. It was written -- was one of the most amazing races

:33:28. > :33:30.I've seen at these championships. But then for her to get up again the

:33:30. > :33:35.next morning and do that world-record, she says she didn't

:33:35. > :33:42.get much sleep, and she didn't even do a warm up but she was tactically

:33:42. > :33:48.excellent. She didn't do a warm up?! She only had two hours sleep,

:33:48. > :33:58.she just got the gold medal, and she didn't do a warm up. And there is

:33:58. > :34:27.

:34:27. > :34:32.at Ruta Meilutyte. If she can keep this going, this could be it. The

:34:32. > :34:38.world-record is currently held by Efimova. She's in lane four. Efimova

:34:38. > :34:44.is coming back but Ruta Meilutyte looks very good. She's going to get

:34:44. > :34:48.the touch as well. 29.48! She has absolutely destroyed the

:34:48. > :34:52.world-record! Three tenths of a second and 50 metres! A new

:34:52. > :34:57.world-record. She is now the world-record holder in the hundred

:34:57. > :35:01.metres and the 50 metres! That was outstanding! She got a great

:35:01. > :35:06.reaction to the gunmen, great start. You can tell from the start. She

:35:06. > :35:12.could have won this by the first ten metres. Very strong start, and what

:35:12. > :35:17.she is good at, when she puts the speed onto the stroke, she speeds up

:35:17. > :35:22.her strokes, she still holds the water which is a real trick to that

:35:22. > :35:28.on the 50 and 100, not to slip the water. You've got to use your

:35:28. > :35:38.power, make the water move. So, Efimova had the world-record for

:35:38. > :35:42.eight hours! That was blistering. That was a fantastic display. That

:35:42. > :35:48.was stunning. Right from the start. On the 50, you can make no

:35:48. > :35:54.mistakes. We've got to have an explosive dive off the block 's.

:35:54. > :35:59.Then the streamline underwater and the surface and keep the momentum.

:35:59. > :36:07.She is excellent at that. Right now, she is in a league on her own.

:36:07. > :36:12.Efimova is brilliant at 200. And the 100. The crowd really acknowledging

:36:12. > :36:18.the swimmer of the meat from me. Two gold medals. She hasn't got the gold

:36:18. > :36:23.one for this one, sorry! If she does that time in the final, nobody is

:36:23. > :36:29.going to get near her. If she makes a couple of mistakes in the final,

:36:29. > :36:38.then she's got a chance -- then she gives a chance to the others. What a

:36:38. > :36:47.great start. Then this explosion into the first stroke. To keep that

:36:47. > :36:55.momentum going. She didn't snatch at all. She didn't slip the water.

:36:55. > :37:05.a real dominating performance by rooted melody take -- by Ruta

:37:05. > :37:09.

:37:09. > :37:14.Meilutyte. Oh, it was brilliant. Goodness me, what a time. That is

:37:15. > :37:23.extraordinary. She's coming to the finish, and she has spotted

:37:23. > :37:26.beautifully, perfectly. So did you via Efimova. It looks like only

:37:26. > :37:32.three of the women getting under 30 seconds. The three who have

:37:32. > :37:40.previously done that, the best swimmers here will go through. We

:37:40. > :37:45.should tell you that Fiona Doyle ended up with a 31.52. Overall, she

:37:45. > :37:53.is 14th. She will not be progressing to the final. She's missing out on

:37:53. > :37:58.the final by nine tenths. So, a new world record, Ruta Meilutyte winning

:37:58. > :38:02.the second semifinal, and who would the second semifinal, and who would

:38:03. > :38:06.bet on her doing another one in the Maybe shall focus on getting the

:38:06. > :38:10.gold because that is what happened before. She got the world-record in

:38:10. > :38:16.the 100 and got the gold without the world-record and she seems to be

:38:16. > :38:23.basing this whole championship perfectly. Yes, and I thought, wow.

:38:23. > :38:25.Her start is so brilliant. She is ahead just from that. .3, that is a

:38:25. > :38:31.lot over 50 to break the world-record and nobody is going to

:38:31. > :38:37.touch her. Efimova's reaction was beautiful. Obviously, she has had a

:38:37. > :38:45.few hours to enjoy her world-record, and she graciously lent over, and

:38:45. > :38:49.the smile on her face just said I am swimming in a great area. Those two

:38:49. > :38:54.together and Pedersen, those three swimmers, the fastest three ever on

:38:54. > :39:01.breaststroke. The 50, 100 and 200 meter breaststroke record is going

:39:01. > :39:11.here. Efimova going from but two to the 50 would be a shocker. To cover

:39:11. > :39:12.

:39:12. > :39:18.all those distances at that speed. Ruta has more fast twitch fibres.

:39:18. > :39:21.Everything was just right. The thing is, tonight is the night for the

:39:21. > :39:25.world-record because in the final, it is about winning the race and

:39:25. > :39:30.getting the medal. The semifinals are grateful world-record. I think

:39:30. > :39:36.the final will be about medals. her coach said when she first came

:39:36. > :39:39.to him as a 12-year-old, she said, I'm a freestyle. He said, let's see

:39:39. > :39:45.your breaststroke. She still believes she can swim freestyle,

:39:45. > :39:50.which is frightening! She definitely can. I've witnessed it myself. She

:39:50. > :39:53.is very good at freestyle, but the breaststroke seems so natural, it

:39:53. > :39:59.doesn't seem forced. You look at her, and you think, how why you

:39:59. > :40:04.doing that? She's almost swimming down. Her technique, everything just

:40:04. > :40:09.comes together. She's got the whole package. And a fierce competitor.

:40:09. > :40:16.For that angelic face, very quiet, almost shy in her interviews.

:40:17. > :40:20.one of those things. We have a cool room downstairs were all the

:40:20. > :40:24.swimmers go. Everyone prepares in different ways. That is your last

:40:24. > :40:30.chance to get at other people if you want to get it to them. You cannot,

:40:30. > :40:34.and when you stand the block she has as nice as pie downstairs, and then

:40:34. > :40:40.when she comes up here, that competitive instinct comes over.

:40:40. > :40:44.She's got that. She is a natural athlete. Whatever she has taught her

:40:44. > :40:50.body to do, she has been amazing. She's the world's best at

:40:50. > :40:55.breaststroke. I asked whether there was history of swimming in the

:40:55. > :41:03.family, but her dad just recognised she had thus -- she had a talent for

:41:03. > :41:06.swimming. So her family have made a sacrifice, across the continent, to

:41:06. > :41:12.get her to swim somewhere better. She has paid them back with

:41:12. > :41:17.dedication and sacrifices. I know you find in sport in general that

:41:17. > :41:21.you can get people that can do once bought, and they are uncoordinated

:41:22. > :41:25.to do other sports. Swimmers walk with duck feet and they wouldn't be

:41:25. > :41:29.good at other sports. You find people that are very athletic, too,

:41:29. > :41:36.and they would have been good at anything. With my height, I could

:41:36. > :41:43.have been good at rowing, but I would have been a rubbish gymnast.

:41:43. > :41:47.But if you spend your body enough time -- if you give your body enough

:41:47. > :41:51.time to teach at something, that is what she has done, she has become

:41:52. > :41:58.great. Putting her in the water, her instincts have taken it a step

:41:58. > :42:02.further. We can hear from Temple -- from Ruta now.

:42:02. > :42:10.Congratulations about another world record. How do you feel about at?

:42:10. > :42:16.is the best feeling in the world. It is amazing. Breaststroke is one of

:42:16. > :42:21.those strokes that works when you're relaxed. Is it easier to do in the

:42:21. > :42:30.semifinal? Maybe because it is not the last point. If you lose, there

:42:30. > :42:35.is still qualifying. Being relaxed in the final is still as important

:42:35. > :42:40.and, maybe, that's why some people don't get as relaxed in the final,

:42:40. > :42:45.don't swim as fast. I don't swim as fast in the final, but it is

:42:45. > :42:51.natural. I do getting used to the circus around you? It is still a bit

:42:51. > :42:57.weird, but I am having so much fun. Seeing all my friends and having fun

:42:57. > :43:01.with the team. We saw a lovely picture of you with the clock can

:43:01. > :43:06.you record, you worked so hard for it. This year has been very tough. I

:43:07. > :43:14.have had some ups and downs. But I am really, really relieved. I've

:43:14. > :43:18.still got one more 50 to go and I am enjoying the experience. I am going

:43:18. > :43:25.to have something to remember when I am older. Finally, what is the

:43:25. > :43:31.secret to your start? You must have springs in your legs! Maybe.Do you

:43:31. > :43:35.do some special training? really. Good luck for the final.

:43:35. > :43:40.I think perhaps it is just a natural. She is naturally springy.

:43:40. > :43:48.Three became four, you'll notice. But the class is here, friend of the

:43:48. > :43:53.BBC. -- hurt Le Clos. Sorry about the voice. I've been screaming.

:43:53. > :43:58.You're screaming for the 200 now. Yes, that was the semifinal, it

:43:58. > :44:05.takes me a couple of days to recover. How do you feel moments

:44:05. > :44:08.before the race? I feel like jumping off a building, I am so nervous. But

:44:08. > :44:12.you can't do anything. As a supporter, you can't do anything to

:44:12. > :44:16.change what is going to happen, but that is logic and that doesn't

:44:16. > :44:21.happen when you are the dad of a world champion. I am a dad of a

:44:21. > :44:26.child, all my children are champions. I've said it many times.

:44:26. > :44:34.You don't have to have a medal to be a champion. Some kids get a gift,

:44:34. > :44:39.though. Do you have brothers and sisters? Do they swim? Not any more.

:44:39. > :44:48.But her parents love them just the same. That's my point. How has life

:44:48. > :44:58.been? Unbelievable! What happened in London will never happen again. It

:44:58. > :45:02.

:45:02. > :45:09.was like a fairy tale. How involved do you get in your son's life?

:45:09. > :45:17.his punchbag. You've got to have someone to go to. I've said it many

:45:17. > :45:26.times, we can rant and rave, but you need someone to vent off with. It's

:45:26. > :45:31.not easy. Training at 4am, the coach shouting and screaming at you.

:45:31. > :45:41.us, what will you be like when we watch this race? Do we have to hang

:45:41. > :45:41.

:45:41. > :45:51.onto our hats? I have to calm down. I can't go very berserk, I've had an

:45:51. > :45:51.

:45:51. > :46:01.operation. OK, let's hand you over operation. OK, let's hand you over

:46:01. > :46:13.

:46:13. > :46:18.metres butterfly. Your breaststroke predictions went slightly wrong! You

:46:18. > :46:26.are the only British finalist, the only British medallist in this event

:46:26. > :46:36.in 1986 in Madrid. Yes, in Spain. How many years ago was that? Three

:46:36. > :46:56.

:46:56. > :47:06.the world University games which a lot of the Russians did. Ryan Lochte

:47:06. > :47:17.

:47:17. > :47:26.is in lane four. I think he will this is probably when the first real

:47:26. > :47:36.adrenaline will kick in big time. There is your son, dairies Chad. --

:47:36. > :47:49.

:47:49. > :47:56.big surprise for May that Ryan Lochte of the USA was the fastest

:47:56. > :48:03.qualifier for the 100 meter butterfly. You cannot see Ryan

:48:03. > :48:11.Lochte is issuing or Chad. They will be challenged by the Poland --

:48:11. > :48:18.Polish and Russian swimmers. Ryan Lochte might hang back a little bit,

:48:18. > :48:24.I am not sure. Top tip for Chad from his coach and his dad is stopped

:48:24. > :48:34.looking around. Michael Phelps has dominated this event. Now he has

:48:34. > :49:11.

:49:11. > :49:20.retired it is wide open. The final Lochte will have a lot of work to

:49:20. > :49:26.do. Chad is coming back in five. It looks as if he will be well placed

:49:26. > :49:36.with ten metres to go. This will be mighty close. It looks as if Chad

:49:36. > :49:42.

:49:42. > :49:52.has got it. He is the world champion. Check out who has got

:49:52. > :49:53.

:49:53. > :50:03.silver. Cseh he has beaten Chad Le Klos. Ryan Lochte dropping down into

:50:03. > :50:11.

:50:11. > :50:18.sixth. Very good pace by Chad Le Klos. He checked out where deep blow

:50:18. > :50:25.was. A lifetime best by four tenths of a second. This is the time to do

:50:25. > :50:31.it. We cannot see what happened in the studio but I hoped they had a

:50:31. > :50:41.camera on it to see what Bert did. Flipping heck! Good thing they did

:50:41. > :50:42.

:50:42. > :50:49.not have a camera on us. His last 15 metres is absolutely blistering. He

:50:49. > :50:57.sticks his head down and he just goes for it. He is also technically

:50:57. > :51:04.excellent on the finish. Watching in the centre, in the white hat. He has

:51:04. > :51:12.won it by a long way as well. a good finish. Timed it well,

:51:12. > :51:22.concentrated. He is there in the middle. It was hit and miss for the

:51:22. > :51:23.

:51:23. > :51:31.rest of the medals. Diebler did all the work but it did not pay off for

:51:31. > :51:41.him. It was there for the taking. Once Michael Phelps had gone, it

:51:41. > :52:11.

:52:11. > :52:15.here. I am going to cry again!You can cry, it is all right. We are

:52:15. > :52:21.watching you back now and your reaction. You said something which

:52:21. > :52:28.should Andrew and Adrian said in the commentary box, don't look round.

:52:28. > :52:35.Why is he looking round? He is looking for me! The coach said he

:52:35. > :52:40.has got racing control. He just stays in front. If the other guys

:52:40. > :52:50.had gone a bit faster, he would have gone a bit faster. And happy

:52:50. > :52:51.

:52:51. > :52:55.birthday, Ryan. We are having a party later, you are welcome.

:52:55. > :53:00.felt connected with it but at the same time, when he turned and he was

:53:00. > :53:07.only that far behind coming down the second length, I was in doubt. Not

:53:07. > :53:14.the looking around bit. It does not make it any easier for you. You can

:53:14. > :53:23.tell me what you like. Is something happening, you know? It is a

:53:23. > :53:29.different feeling. Every parent goes for that. Look at that! He is just

:53:29. > :53:35.about to speak to Sharron. Let's go down to Sharron. And pass on huge

:53:35. > :53:41.congratulations from his dad there. I absolutely will do. Well done,

:53:41. > :53:49.Chad. You have got your dad there. Grab those and you can have a word

:53:49. > :53:56.with him. How are you feeling? Great, it is also. Say hello to him.

:53:56. > :54:06.Can you hear me, dad? Where are you? Can you hear him? I think he is

:54:06. > :54:07.

:54:07. > :54:11.crying. I love you, dad. I was nervous but I felt good. You had a

:54:11. > :54:18.fantastic finish. When you get to the second half of the final leg, do

:54:18. > :54:24.you know that is in the tank? always trained like that. I ways

:54:24. > :54:28.make sure I am fit enough. My hard work has paid off, I am happy.

:54:28. > :54:33.know you as a 200 metre butterfly swimmer and now you can do the 100

:54:33. > :54:37.as well. I just want to make a statement. A lot of people said the

:54:37. > :54:42.200 was not so good because the time but I have shown I am on form and I

:54:42. > :54:49.just wanted to show everybody. important is it that you have got

:54:49. > :54:53.your family here? He says you are looking for him. It is nice

:54:53. > :55:00.exercise. It is super important. To have my parents here and my brothers

:55:00. > :55:05.and sister are watching back home. It is great. What is next for you

:55:05. > :55:11.smacked you get some time off after this? I have the World Cup next week

:55:11. > :55:14.and then I will come back for a week and a half and just enjoy surfing a

:55:14. > :55:18.bit and waking up late. Whether someone who lives in a beautiful

:55:18. > :55:25.place like South Africa go on holiday? We will probably go to the

:55:25. > :55:31.south coast which is about to ours from my house and party. And the

:55:31. > :55:41.sharks. Yes, be careful about the sharks. We do not want any legs

:55:41. > :55:42.

:55:42. > :55:52.missing. It is wonderful to see that. Very emotional. I always cry.

:55:52. > :55:52.

:55:52. > :56:02.We cry at the replays. We are pathetic. No, no! I do not know what

:56:02. > :56:06.it is. He is so grounded, so lovely and he is an Olympic and double

:56:06. > :56:10.world champion, had you had to give him a chat and say, keep your feet

:56:10. > :56:16.on the ground will stop he gives me a chat to keep my feet on the

:56:16. > :56:24.ground. You think I am joking! He says dad, please, don't be so

:56:24. > :56:31.arrogant! I am telling you. Come on, dad! He wants to take the young

:56:31. > :56:35.generation and I promise you, you can watch him at any event anywhere,

:56:36. > :56:41.the kids come up to him and he has time for them, always. He wants to

:56:41. > :56:51.take the sport to another level. He wants to emulate people like

:56:51. > :56:55.

:56:55. > :57:02.Mohammed Ali. I lost a few tears. Everything makes me cry. If my

:57:02. > :57:08.father was alive now, he would be crying. Tell us in South Africa, how

:57:08. > :57:15.big has he come as a personality? wins every competition they enter

:57:15. > :57:18.him into. If the youth in South Africa, I'm being honest, if the

:57:18. > :57:27.youth of South Africa have to vote and the poor people, I promise you,

:57:27. > :57:34.they would vote him. They stop begging. They say go, my golden

:57:34. > :57:40.boy. I promise you. We came from the airport. They do horrible things,

:57:40. > :57:44.street children. And they say that is the golden boy. He has been huge

:57:44. > :57:50.for South Africa in the last 12 months. That is my son. Sometimes I

:57:50. > :57:58.will knock his head off but he is a beautiful boy. I swear to God. You

:57:58. > :58:04.know him, Becky. He is lovely. comes through. He is a talented boy

:58:04. > :58:10.as well. He did not swim as fast as he said in his first race in the 200

:58:10. > :58:14.but tonight, he looked sharp. think the thing is you saw him go

:58:14. > :58:20.not from zero to hero, but his hero was Michael Phelps and I do not know

:58:20. > :58:24.whether he truly, truly believed, that was Michael Phelps out of all

:58:24. > :58:28.his events, that was the one. I do not know if he truly believed until

:58:28. > :58:32.you touched the wall that he had beaten his hero. Michael Phelps of

:58:32. > :58:38.their own outright is there for other people. You can leave his

:58:38. > :58:48.print on other people like the kids in South Africa. You guys train, I

:58:48. > :58:48.

:58:48. > :58:55.do not know, he did 51 today. He does the break. We knew he would win

:58:55. > :58:59.the 200, I swear to you. But when we got here, I prayed to all kinds of

:58:59. > :59:04.gods that I did not know existed, and the bronze in the relay, I will

:59:05. > :59:11.be happy. But you say it is the touch, the time is there. It was the

:59:11. > :59:17.third fastest time without the suit. So has he got it for the next three

:59:17. > :59:22.years? Can he sustain this level of training? I will tell you a secret.

:59:22. > :59:30.I will say to all the English people here, you ain't seen nothing yet! Be

:59:30. > :59:37.careful all of you! He was for five months and Ryan Lochte was off for

:59:37. > :59:41.five months. You ain't seen nothing yet. He has his own make-up artist

:59:41. > :59:45.now. We love South Africans in Britain. Half our cricket team are

:59:45. > :59:53.South African. If you want another team, we will take him! Thank you

:59:53. > :59:58.very much! Lovely to see you. And happy ending to that story. I do not

:59:58. > :00:03.want to know what happens when he comes second. I go down and I look

:00:03. > :00:08.at him and I say, Chad, you did your best. There is nothing else you

:00:08. > :00:12.could do. When he did not kick a ball at age seven in eight soccer

:00:12. > :00:19.game, I would scream and shout like a mad thing. At the end of the game

:00:19. > :00:24.he would get a lollipop and he was man of the match. You treat the twin

:00:24. > :00:29.imposters the same. In matter of fact I treat him better when he

:00:29. > :00:35.loses. He knows! Great to have you. You need to cool down somewhere it

:00:35. > :00:45.is hot up here. Let's get back to the commentary. It is the women's 50

:00:45. > :00:48.

:00:48. > :00:53.What a first semifinal. Frank is fastest qualifier. The fastest

:00:53. > :01:03.qualifier for the whole of the semifinals goes in the second

:01:03. > :01:05.

:01:05. > :01:09.semifinal, take out. Very, very close indeed. The Canadian, they've

:01:09. > :01:14.been doing very well. Fran Halsall has an interesting challenge. She's

:01:14. > :01:21.been fourth, she was fourth in the last World Championships. This is

:01:21. > :01:31.her best event. It is useful she's got this straightaway. There are

:01:31. > :01:32.

:01:32. > :01:34.three women in this race who did the butterfly earlier. Come on, friend.

:01:34. > :01:44.Kromowidjojo got the bronze. House or has something to prove. This

:01:44. > :01:49.

:01:49. > :01:56.lady, C, she won the hundred fly here, interesting tactic. She

:01:56. > :02:00.withdrew from the 50s. Fran Halsall goes on lane four. This will be very

:02:00. > :02:10.therapeutic for her. Fourth in the 55. Now she's got to step up and

:02:10. > :02:22.

:02:22. > :02:28.Britain, but Kromowidjojo closer to us. Fran Halsall has got a decent

:02:28. > :02:33.start but Kromowidjojo has got a very good start. Jeanette Ottesen

:02:33. > :02:42.Grey, she just won the 50 metres butterfly and she's doing very well.

:02:42. > :02:48.Kromowidjojo, looks like she will win this semifinal. Houseless third.

:02:48. > :02:53.-- Fran Halsall is third. That should be OK for Fran Halsall. That

:02:53. > :03:03.should be comfortably through. know it is the fastest eight times

:03:03. > :03:07.

:03:07. > :03:15.on position, the first five swimmers in this semifinal swam under 25. It

:03:15. > :03:23.is a nice warm up. To make of the medallists beating Fran out there. I

:03:23. > :03:29.thought that was strong. Kromowidjojo went up very quickly.

:03:29. > :03:37.She comes up, she was two or three feet ahead of the rest of the field.

:03:37. > :03:43.Fran wasn't as far back as in the 50 metres fly. Fran is in the 50 cap.

:03:43. > :03:51.Brings the arm round as well as over. She had a good middle race.

:03:51. > :03:57.Maybe just at the end tailing off. Just run getting in there as well.

:03:57. > :04:07.-- Sarah Sjostrom getting in there as well. The Olympic champion wins

:04:07. > :04:20.

:04:20. > :04:27.class of the field on the 100 metres freestyle is on lane four. The

:04:27. > :04:34.fastest qualifier from the heats, she was comfortably the qualifiers.

:04:34. > :04:44.And she has got her sister next to her! The Campbell sisters in the

:04:44. > :04:45.

:04:45. > :04:52.middle. Cate Campbell, 21, Bronte Campbell 19. In London, she beat

:04:52. > :05:02.Cate Campbell. The younger sister was 10th, the older sister was 14th.

:05:02. > :05:03.

:05:03. > :05:13.I don't know she's going to do it here. 100 freestyle was stunning.

:05:13. > :05:17.

:05:17. > :05:25.The Finn won the World Championship 's ten years ago. Urbanczyk of

:05:25. > :05:32.Poland in seventh. Natalie Cobbler, a prolific medal winner on the world

:05:32. > :05:40.stage. -- Natalie Coughlin. She has seven goals, seven silvers and five

:05:40. > :05:47.bronze medals. This 16-year-old American, we don't see real

:05:47. > :05:56.youngsters in this power events. 16 years of age. 24.9 to qualify for

:05:56. > :06:01.this semifinal is what she swam. Dorothea Brandt from Germany. No

:06:01. > :06:07.major medals yet, fourth in the Europeans is the best she has done.

:06:07. > :06:11.And then the two Max 's tours, coming to the boil championships --

:06:11. > :06:16.coming to the World Championships, and you end up next to your sister.

:06:16. > :06:20.Cate Campbell is the older one by two years. They've been sitting with

:06:20. > :06:23.each other in the cool room. Often you see the camera on that room as

:06:23. > :06:32.they wait the half-hour before the race. I imagine they would talk to

:06:33. > :06:37.each other. Wouldn't you? No!There would be a point before the race to

:06:37. > :06:47.get your game face on, but I am pretty sure it is more supportive to

:06:47. > :06:53.

:06:53. > :07:03.the 100 metres freestyle, superb. She won it with a time of 52.3. Just

:07:03. > :07:09.

:07:09. > :07:14.outside the world record. This is won in 24.3. This one I expect will

:07:14. > :07:22.be faster. In lane seven, the poll has started very quickly. Urbanczyk

:07:22. > :07:30.of Poland. Cate Campbell, I wonder if she can get under 24 seconds.

:07:30. > :07:37.This is a very good swim. Look at that. The Campbell sisters, one and

:07:37. > :07:42.two. What a great reaction. Hey, sis, one and two! Fabulous. I'll

:07:42. > :07:47.tell you what, very different starts. Cate Campbell is a good half

:07:47. > :07:54.a second, I would say, ahead of her sister. Bronte bringing that race

:07:54. > :07:58.back to get the second place. To me, no doubt who is the clear favourite

:07:58. > :08:07.for the fight -- for the final. Eight Campbell, brilliant of the

:08:07. > :08:15.block. Coughlin did well, too. She is at the end of her career, towards

:08:15. > :08:20.30, she is struggling to stay with these youngsters, unfortunately.

:08:20. > :08:30.think it is brilliant to have your sister in the second lane. That was

:08:30. > :08:32.

:08:32. > :08:42.a very good time indeed from Cate Campbell. Sister will be in fifth.

:08:42. > :08:49.

:08:49. > :08:59.-- Bronte, her sister, will be in puts them in one and two. Cate

:08:59. > :09:04.

:09:05. > :09:14.Campbell, she wins by quite a way. She can go faster. A second 25

:09:15. > :09:28.

:09:28. > :09:34.the results of the second semifinal of the 50 metres. The 16 and --

:09:34. > :09:44.16-year-old American has also made the final. So, Cate Campbell is

:09:44. > :09:51.

:09:51. > :09:57.fastest, Fran Halsall qualifying in before she knew she qualified for

:09:57. > :10:04.the final in the middle of the two semifinals. Nice to get that fourth

:10:04. > :10:07.out of your head and concentrate on the 50. Yes, yes. Just getting down

:10:07. > :10:15.to the business. Hopefully getting through to the final. I am sure that

:10:15. > :10:19.you will. You came to put yourself in that position. Had he been

:10:19. > :10:23.working on your start? Yes, it's been getting better as the week goes

:10:23. > :10:28.by. I know I am one of the fastest in the pool, so the close can be in

:10:28. > :10:34.the 50, the better. I am doing a lot of work on it. I am a bit stronger,

:10:34. > :10:43.heavier, a bit more powerful. have a strategy when you go into

:10:43. > :10:53.that Paul? What you think about? much! How do you think about your

:10:53. > :10:53.

:10:53. > :10:57.breathing? I breed at 25 and then once more. But then I do it so many

:10:57. > :11:04.times before, I don't think about it. I get myself psyched and ready

:11:04. > :11:08.to go. Good luck tomorrow.Fingers crossed! And toes!

:11:08. > :11:12.It is a tough ask but most of the field had to do it to come off that

:11:12. > :11:16.final and 20 metres days ago into the semifinals, Fran did what she

:11:16. > :11:22.had to do, fourth fastest. That is what it was about. She was bothered

:11:22. > :11:26.about getting through to the final most. She will have planned it that

:11:26. > :11:32.way and she will have wanted to get a good lane, so that is what it is

:11:32. > :11:37.about. And we have an outstanding favourite in Cate Campbell, but we

:11:37. > :11:43.have a special pair of sisters, the Campbell sisters. It is interesting,

:11:43. > :11:47.Cate Campbell is the older of the two, and I think that shows the

:11:47. > :11:49.experience of the two of them, but it also says, when I talked earlier

:11:49. > :11:55.about doing weights and the extra power, the only difference was the

:11:55. > :12:05.start. At 15, Cate Campbell got ahead and she stayed ahead.

:12:05. > :12:05.

:12:06. > :12:10.talked about having somebody you train closely with, but when you are

:12:10. > :12:13.related to them and you live in the same house, that is also a good

:12:13. > :12:20.motivation. You know how early they are getting up in the morning and

:12:20. > :12:27.how much training they are doing. think any of us, if your siblings

:12:27. > :12:30.swam, you'd want them to do well. It must be an interesting dynamic. You

:12:30. > :12:34.take your training home, to the pool together. We've got the same

:12:34. > :12:40.dynamics. I do know how it works between the two of them, but I guess

:12:40. > :12:43.you don't want to be the brother or sister that loses out. Unless it is

:12:43. > :12:48.because you are a couple of years behind and so you can learn from

:12:48. > :12:54.your sister. Cate Campbell will not want to let her baby system beat

:12:54. > :13:00.her, trust me! My sister used to hate it if I'd beat her when we were

:13:00. > :13:10.teenagers, and she still claims she can beat me to this day! Well, that

:13:10. > :13:15.was the women's semifinal for the 50 free. Cesar cello won the men's, and

:13:15. > :13:22.he spoke to us earlier. The title for you, were you

:13:22. > :13:29.pleased? I was surprised and pleased. Why were you surprised?You

:13:29. > :13:33.cannot see the rest of the key when you're swimming. So I didn't know it

:13:33. > :13:39.was faster than lane four and three, so it is amazing. It was a great

:13:39. > :13:42.feeling. I couldn't be happier. there a lot of expectation on new?

:13:42. > :13:48.There's a lot of middle history behind you and every one is getting

:13:48. > :13:56.excited about Rio, coming up very quickly. I am going to keep training

:13:56. > :14:02.as hard as I can. And I may lose and win sometimes, but I want people to

:14:02. > :14:05.keep in mind I am going to give a every time. This time, I had some

:14:05. > :14:08.luck. The Brazilians are bringing out new sprinters all the time.

:14:08. > :14:15.that something that is very deliberate because you want to get

:14:15. > :14:22.champions in the pool and across the whole of the Olympic team? We're

:14:22. > :14:31.lacking in sprinters. The long-distance girls are very good.

:14:31. > :14:34.Back in 96, when we had Gestapo, Fernando, when they had medals,

:14:34. > :14:39.everything started. I started because of them and hopefully some

:14:39. > :14:45.kids are going to start because of me. I am sure they will. Well done.

:14:45. > :14:49.That's what they call the gutsy. In three years time, he will be one of

:14:49. > :14:55.the poster boys in Rio, if he carries on the way he is. One of

:14:55. > :15:00.those that goes in with expectation and pressure on his shoulders. So it

:15:00. > :15:06.is going to be a long haul in. Definitely, but he handles the

:15:06. > :15:10.pressure. That assist third world title. I think he will yield into

:15:10. > :15:20.the three years. He will be relaxed. He will keep himself to

:15:20. > :15:22.

:15:22. > :15:28.himself. He trains in Latin America. He can handle it. He has had great

:15:28. > :15:34.role models, two guys that I swam against. They were huge in Brazil.

:15:34. > :15:39.He knows those guys, he has hung around them. He won the Olympics in

:15:39. > :15:43.2008 so he has achieved more than they have achieved. In Brazil he is

:15:43. > :15:50.massive. It will not change his mind set heading into the games. He loves

:15:50. > :15:56.it, he thrives on it. The emotion that we see from him, it is

:15:56. > :16:02.phenomenal. He lets it go in the pool and it is great to see. You see

:16:02. > :16:05.it with the Brazilians. They look up to God, as it were, it is a passion.

:16:06. > :16:15.It is a religion in itself. You see it with the football teams. It means

:16:15. > :16:20.so much to them. We do not have an event like that in the UK. I have

:16:20. > :16:23.seen it with others like Sun Yan. They train for so long. It is nice

:16:23. > :16:29.to see that they care. I would be more worried if they did not show

:16:29. > :16:35.emotion. I would think, do they not want it? I think it is nice to see

:16:35. > :16:42.that a motion and it gives them a personality as well. We are bit more

:16:42. > :16:45.reserved. I couldn't stop crying. You were very emotional in London.

:16:45. > :16:50.It is probably your generation that is allowing themselves that. It is

:16:50. > :16:54.part of the build-up to performance, the training and it is

:16:54. > :17:01.letting that all out at the right time. When things go well, that must

:17:01. > :17:05.be the best feeling in the world, that you can cry on the podium.

:17:05. > :17:10.is the fastest human being through water on the planet. It is like

:17:10. > :17:14.Usain Bolt on the track. He is the Usain Bolt of water. You see it at

:17:14. > :17:19.different sports and with different people, how much passion people do

:17:19. > :17:24.have. In Britain we are little bit more reserved. I do not know why we

:17:24. > :17:31.are the way we are. Culturally, it is the Brazilians are more

:17:31. > :17:36.expressive. They are more expressive race. They are driven. We are bit

:17:36. > :17:41.more cynical, aren't we? Which is a shame. More passionate presenting

:17:41. > :17:47.coming from this box in the next 45 minutes, that is the aim. Let's see

:17:47. > :17:57.who has the passion for the 50 metre semifinals. Liam Tancock has not

:17:57. > :18:15.

:18:15. > :18:25.qualified for this. I will hand you the semifinal. You do not often see

:18:25. > :18:28.

:18:28. > :18:33.that. The 20 rod Dutchman goes in lane three. -- 22-year-old

:18:34. > :18:42.Dutchman. This semifinal is by far the slowest of the two semifinals.

:18:42. > :18:46.The fastest will be in the second semi and then they will go back. For

:18:46. > :18:54.some reason it looks as if the fastest swimmers are in the other

:18:54. > :18:59.semi. This man is being lifted by the crowd. He has a Dutch background

:18:59. > :19:06.and moved here when he was eight. Now he has moved to Denmark. The

:19:06. > :19:16.crowd are getting behind him. I think they have got to get under 25.

:19:16. > :19:16.

:19:16. > :19:26.If they can make it under 25 seconds they should be in the final.

:19:26. > :19:33.

:19:33. > :19:43.massive ovation for the Spaniard in race, the world record-holder for

:19:43. > :20:20.

:20:20. > :20:25.great written. I think this is wide extraordinary, an Israeli in the

:20:25. > :20:30.final. We do not see that very often. The speed and the turn of his

:20:30. > :20:35.stroke was extraordinary. I am really pleased that he has won this

:20:35. > :20:40.race. I could not tell what was happening, it was water, water,

:20:40. > :20:46.water, arms and windmills. And then you see this guy and he wins it. How

:20:46. > :20:56.did you see that? You are very good. I thought it was a genius swim. It

:20:56. > :20:57.

:20:57. > :21:07.was a decent start, got to 25, built it up. There is Barnea. Wang.

:21:07. > :21:41.

:21:41. > :21:51.generation. We have a motion, me and Andrew. He cries a lot. A brilliant

:21:51. > :21:59.

:21:59. > :22:09.swim by Di Barnea of Israel. Greece making the final as well. There are

:22:09. > :22:17.the women. There is lot a freeze in the red tracksuit and Dickie --

:22:17. > :22:27.Katie Ledecky sitting down with her goggles. Here is the big second

:22:27. > :22:49.

:22:49. > :22:59.their sprinters out. He is 28 years of age. A lot of guys are keeping

:22:59. > :23:22.

:23:22. > :23:32.going. That is Ashley Delaney of for me are starting now. A huge roar

:23:32. > :23:36.from the crowd. 9000 people really going nuts here. He tied for the

:23:36. > :23:41.gold medal in Shanghai two years ago on the 100 metres backstroke with

:23:41. > :23:50.his team-mate who is in the next lane. Plummer did well in the

:23:50. > :24:00.individual. Plummer missed out on the 2012 team. One of the fastest

:24:00. > :24:20.

:24:20. > :24:30.28 years of age. We have had some tweets saying, I am 30, I am not

:24:30. > :24:44.

:24:44. > :24:54.over the hill. Quite right. It has world champion. The two Frenchman

:24:54. > :25:21.

:25:21. > :25:31.tied for gold on the 100 meter of China is going well in lane two.

:25:31. > :25:44.

:25:44. > :25:51.The two Frenchmen, they get it, one The French guys did a fantastic 50

:25:51. > :25:55.backstroke there. Plummer ruled himself out from the wall. We are

:25:55. > :26:05.going to have to talk about this. There are too many backstroke 's

:26:05. > :26:06.

:26:06. > :26:09.including the great Missy Franklin who are slipping off the wall. I

:26:09. > :26:13.know there was a meeting about a week before the championship started

:26:13. > :26:18.and they said for the backstroke swimmer is they would put a plastic

:26:18. > :26:25.ledge which hangs over the pad so the backstroke swimmers can use it.

:26:25. > :26:29.Plummer should not have slipped. He came eighth. Look at him in the

:26:29. > :26:36.centre. That is the worst feeling in the world. Exploding on the start

:26:36. > :26:40.and his foot disappears. Why you have shiny start pads, what on earth

:26:40. > :26:46.are you doing with that? They normally have some great stuff they

:26:46. > :26:56.can spray on like sandpaper. You can also get surfboard whacks you can

:26:56. > :27:01.

:27:01. > :27:11.put on their -- wax. Shall we think about other materials we can put on?

:27:11. > :27:15.I think it was sub 25 he was going to make it in. He has not show much

:27:15. > :27:25.promise since 2011. I think he has been out there in joining himself a

:27:25. > :27:52.

:27:52. > :27:59.Tancock there. Where is your money? My money is on one of the French

:27:59. > :28:03.boys. I think Lacourt. Interesting about people dropping off the start.

:28:03. > :28:07.What is the difference with the equipment here? They may be shinier

:28:07. > :28:12.or slippy but it can be that slippy because it is not happening too many

:28:12. > :28:17.people. If it happened to everybody there would be a problem. Is it like

:28:17. > :28:21.court two at Wimbledon with some people falling? These guys have been

:28:21. > :28:25.here competing for eight days, they have probably been here all week

:28:25. > :28:29.beforehand, they must have been in this pool a number of times and

:28:29. > :28:33.practised the starts. What they try to do with a backstroke star now is

:28:33. > :28:36.put their feet almost above the water and do a back drive so is

:28:36. > :28:40.there an awful lot of pressure that goes through the feet on the blocks.

:28:40. > :28:44.That must be quicker than just trying to skim the water. They

:28:44. > :28:49.seemed to lose a lot of time going up to come down. But the way they

:28:49. > :28:56.come down is like diving off the block. They get the motion into the

:28:56. > :29:02.water. They do not go slapped onto their back. Katie Ledecky is

:29:02. > :29:06.swimming next. If you did not already know this, Becky's demeanour

:29:06. > :29:10.may have changed. For the whole of the semifinals she said, I am so

:29:10. > :29:14.nervous, it is as if I am going to swim. Are you nervous that your

:29:14. > :29:21.world record could go? Are you nervous that she will go for gold?

:29:21. > :29:26.What is the nerves about? I do not know. The 800 is the race I have

:29:26. > :29:30.raced for so many years. Of course, it will be a bit weird that here and

:29:30. > :29:34.not in the pool. It is the world record which I have had for five

:29:34. > :29:41.years. I'm interested to see how far she can push that world record. I am

:29:41. > :29:46.so excited! You do not have to stay here. You can go to the commentary

:29:46. > :29:50.box. Katie Ledecky is going for her fourth gold of the championships. In

:29:50. > :30:00.nine minutes time or so we may start referring to Rebecca Adlington as

:30:00. > :30:07.

:30:07. > :30:11.the former world record-holder of stuff. The 16-year-old, the Olympic

:30:11. > :30:18.champion, she is going to destroy the record. A new world-record

:30:18. > :30:28.holder! This is Katie Ledecky of the USA! Goodness me, what a superb race

:30:28. > :30:36.

:30:36. > :30:44.the second fastest qualifier for the final in his 800 metres freestyle,

:30:44. > :30:51.representing New Zealand. She has got a bronze on the four and 15.

:30:51. > :30:55.But, there is Katie Ledecky. She is absolutely on fire. Gold on the 400,

:30:55. > :31:03.only the second woman in history to go under four-minute, a massive

:31:03. > :31:09.milestone. A huge world-record on the 1500 free. It is how much,

:31:09. > :31:17.funny, can get under Becky's record. We are already giving it to her,

:31:17. > :31:21.which is very generous! We have to be a bit calmer on that. We are

:31:21. > :31:26.waiting for her. This is a strong opportunity for Ledecky to do this

:31:26. > :31:34.world-record. We've talked to Becky before this, about this record, and

:31:34. > :31:40.I think that if they swim for point 12, but we are thinking, maybe she

:31:40. > :31:50.can do under four .10. We haven't mentioned Lotte Friis in lane three.

:31:50. > :31:57.

:31:57. > :32:05.She was the world champion in Rome freestyle, and Lotte Friis our

:32:05. > :32:10.three. Katie Ledecky of the USA goes in four. It is those two which took

:32:10. > :32:17.the field apart in the 1500 metres. I thought Katie Ledecky used Lotte

:32:17. > :32:23.Friis. Will that happen here? Ledecky probably needs to do her own

:32:23. > :32:27.race if she wants the world-record. It's a question whether the person

:32:27. > :32:37.wants the medal or the world-record. Actually, I think for

:32:37. > :32:37.

:32:37. > :32:46.Ledecky, if she wants the, she can use Friis. Her own race means that

:32:46. > :32:51.she can do the world-record. Although she won the 1500 in an

:32:51. > :33:01.amazing world-record, we saw her lead-off the American relay on a

:33:01. > :33:03.

:33:03. > :33:12.four x 221.56. She has got speed. She's gone out very well. She's

:33:12. > :33:18.under the world-record. So, Katie Ledecky is going out but Lotte Friis

:33:18. > :33:24.is not letting her go. The white hat and orange suit of Denmark, looking

:33:24. > :33:32.very good indeed. This is a 16 length arrays. At the third term,

:33:32. > :33:38.Lotte Friis is leading. Lauren Boyle is third. Interesting race so far.

:33:38. > :33:43.How do you think it is going, Becky? I am just scared! I don't

:33:43. > :33:49.know what is going to happen but it is very similar to the 1500. It is

:33:49. > :33:58.going to be a fight between them. Lauren Boyle is going with them.

:33:58. > :34:04.is she is third at the moment. This is exactly what happened in the 1500

:34:04. > :34:10.metres freestyle. Is this the right tactic for Lotte Friis? It's the

:34:10. > :34:14.only way you can race it. She can see how on it Katie is. She knows

:34:14. > :34:20.she is going to come second probably. It is not definite, but

:34:20. > :34:24.probably. She has to go out for it. She is trying right now. It is a

:34:24. > :34:31.great swim for Lotte Friis, but Ledecky is playing the same ruthless

:34:31. > :34:37.tactics as she did before. She is capable of faster than this, I

:34:37. > :34:43.think. With 300 metres to go, your split was three point 3.58, what do

:34:43. > :34:47.you think? I think these girls have got a much tighter race. When I did

:34:47. > :34:56.it, I did it on my own. They will use each other. It looks like Katie

:34:56. > :35:02.is using Lochte frieze like she did -- Lotte Friis like she did. Lauren

:35:02. > :35:10.Boyle is being pulled along as well. We are writing her off, which is

:35:11. > :35:15.wrong. It is wrong. She has had a fantastic week. I think it is good

:35:15. > :35:21.she is going with them. I think it is the only way to race it. If you

:35:21. > :35:28.get too far behind, it becomes a mental thing as well. Well, Lotte

:35:28. > :35:32.Friis is trying to break Ledecky. She has really worked that last 50.

:35:32. > :35:41.It is starting to be quite a big difference. She's now got almost

:35:41. > :35:45.clear water. It is actually shocking me how much Katie is letting her go,

:35:45. > :35:50.she probably isn't, she is probably fighting her, but it was a lot

:35:50. > :35:57.tighter on the 1500. It will be interesting at this 400 mark to see

:35:57. > :36:00.what is happening. I am with you. I think Ledecky is still waiting back.

:36:00. > :36:06.It looks like Lotte Friis has gone for it, has she got enough of the

:36:06. > :36:13.lead? It is the halfway turn. Lotte Friis of Denmark, a bit of a

:36:13. > :36:17.surprise, she is leading USA's Katie Ledecky by almost a body length.

:36:17. > :36:22.Ledecky now starting to come back. She is trying to come back but it

:36:22. > :36:26.doesn't look like she's reacting pretty well. We saw that in the 1500

:36:26. > :36:34.when I thought she was going to make a break, and she didn't. It will be

:36:34. > :36:38.interesting. There is still 400 metres left. Lotte Friis, she has

:36:38. > :36:46.broken Katie. I'm hoping Katie will start pick it up and give her more

:36:46. > :36:54.of arrays. I don't know. I think Ledecky still has something. Her

:36:54. > :37:04.repetition is a lot quicker than Ledecky. The stroke rate is a lot

:37:04. > :37:09.difference. I'll tell you what, they are one 100th of a second over your

:37:09. > :37:14.world-record pace. They were under it before. I wonder whether this may

:37:14. > :37:20.well be a couple more years of your world-record staying safe!

:37:20. > :37:26.knows! Katie is doing the same thing as she did in the 1500. She has got

:37:26. > :37:31.Lotte Friis down one lane, so she can pics it up -- so she can pick it

:37:31. > :37:39.up when she can see Lotte Friis. She is using that. She's closing the

:37:39. > :37:45.gap, she is under second behind. I think Ledecky will catch her. I'm

:37:45. > :37:51.not an expert on distance. Me, too. She has that extra level of speed.

:37:51. > :37:56.We saw it in the relay. Her split was unbelievable. We know she's got

:37:56. > :38:01.the speed and she is picking it up now. This is looking ominous for

:38:01. > :38:08.Lotte Friis of Denmark. That last 50 metres, very strong indeed the Katie

:38:08. > :38:13.Ledecky of the USA. With four lengths to go, the lead now is only

:38:13. > :38:18.30 51 hundredths of a second. The black hat of the USA, Katie

:38:18. > :38:23.Ledecky, is starting to overhaul Lotte Friis. The real surprise is

:38:23. > :38:29.how quickly she has done it. For a 16-year-old, she has been pretty

:38:29. > :38:34.ruthless. She has known how to pace it. Lotte Friis is such a battler,

:38:34. > :38:44.she will not give up. But I don't think she has enough left in the

:38:44. > :38:47.

:38:47. > :38:50.tank. She is now just zero point 02 of the world-record. -- 0.02.

:38:50. > :38:57.at her, she's picked her speed up, overtaken Lotte Friis. This is her

:38:57. > :39:04.element. So much speed. Hopefully... Hopefully she will take

:39:04. > :39:10.it up even more. She's looking very good. Ledecky over first, just

:39:10. > :39:17.inside world-record pace. Great Britain's Rebecca Adlington came

:39:17. > :39:23.back so fast. So, Katie Ledecky first, Lotte Friis second, it is too

:39:23. > :39:30.late now, I think. The gold medal will go to Katie Ledecky of the USA,

:39:30. > :39:37.can she win the three? The eight? The crowd are standing on their

:39:37. > :39:46.feet. This is great to see. Ledecky right on world-record split. It

:39:46. > :39:51.looks like it is going to go. It does. I thought she would go 8.12.

:39:51. > :39:56.Be interested to see how fast she can bring that down. She was the

:39:56. > :40:06.gold medallist on the 400 metres freestyle. Look at the

:40:06. > :40:07.

:40:07. > :40:11.world-record, it is going to be tight. Oh, it is just gone! A new

:40:11. > :40:16.world record to win the gold medal in the women's 800 metres

:40:16. > :40:21.freestyle, and Katie Ledecky of the USA breaks Rebecca Adlington's

:40:21. > :40:25.world-record. A brilliant swim from her. The gold goes to Ledecky, the

:40:25. > :40:31.Silver has gone to Lotte Friis of Denmark, and the bronze to Lauren

:40:31. > :40:36.Boyle. What a swim that was. She paced it perfectly. Well, it was

:40:36. > :40:43.closer than I thought it was going to be. Me, too. I honestly thought

:40:43. > :40:48.she was going to go faster. It shows that the 1500 metres tired her out.

:40:48. > :40:55.I think she can go faster. It'll be interesting in the next few years.

:40:55. > :41:03.Thank you for with us. Well, that must be interesting to sit and watch

:41:03. > :41:07.or record get broken. Great reaction from Becky, fantastic. I thought it

:41:07. > :41:12.would go more than that. However, it was just clinical, wasn't it?

:41:12. > :41:21.Clinical! Slightly disappointing because if you're going to have a

:41:21. > :41:29.world-record over that distance, eight minutes, 14 seconds, breaking

:41:29. > :41:34.it by a tiny bit, that's not great. As it was, she has just chiselled

:41:34. > :41:41.it. Doesn't it show how hard it was and what a great world-record it

:41:41. > :41:45.was? This was two Olympics ago. It was one of the most emotional

:41:45. > :41:51.commentaries I've ever done. Commentating through the 800 when

:41:51. > :41:56.she was so far ahead. It was absolutely outstanding. It shows

:41:56. > :42:00.that even somebody like Ledecky, who was on her game right now, can only

:42:00. > :42:08.take a little bit of it. But she will improve. There is only one way

:42:08. > :42:12.for this girl, and that is quicker. What a start as well. Katie

:42:12. > :42:16.Ledecky, she is only 16 years of age. She has done something that

:42:16. > :42:21.hasn't been done for ten years at the World Championships. She has won

:42:21. > :42:27.the gold in the 400 and 800 and the 1500, the clean sweep of the

:42:27. > :42:33.distance events. This was last done in Barcelona in 2003 by Hannah

:42:33. > :42:40.stocked bar of Germany. You've got to do heats and finals of 400 and

:42:40. > :42:48.800 and 1500. Three tenths of a second, in the end. Well, quite

:42:48. > :42:54.brilliant. The fastest woman distance swimmer in history. She is

:42:54. > :43:01.tired. Look at that. A big puff out there. I think Ledecky out of

:43:01. > :43:05.breath, out of energy, she's given everything this week. Nice touch.

:43:05. > :43:12.And you've got to feel sorry for Lotte Friis. She withdrew from the

:43:12. > :43:16.400 metres freestyle to be fresh for the 800 metres and 1500, but she has

:43:16. > :43:21.come up against somebody who is utterly extraordinary. A new world

:43:21. > :43:31.record for Katie Ledecky to win the women's 800 metres freestyle. The

:43:31. > :43:35.

:43:35. > :43:40.world-record is now 8.13.86. If it comes to world records, she

:43:40. > :43:45.has just cracked a new one. I'll let you catch a breath back! I know you

:43:45. > :43:51.were emotional going into it and nervous. How do you feel now that it

:43:51. > :43:54.has gone? A mixture. I am obviously sad, I love being on the programme.

:43:54. > :44:00.It was nice to see my name on the programme. But it is brilliant for

:44:00. > :44:05.the sport. I love to see the next Generation and see it move on, and I

:44:05. > :44:09.thought she was going to do quicker. It'll be interesting to see how far

:44:09. > :44:16.she can push it. She has had a big programme this week. It is a second

:44:16. > :44:20.vault record, and I am honoured to be able to have raced her. Bearing

:44:20. > :44:26.Becky's modesty blushers, this girl has got to world-record but she

:44:26. > :44:31.could only shake the bit of a record that was a gold medal winning

:44:31. > :44:38.performance in the Olympics which she had to swim on her own. She was

:44:38. > :44:48.so far ahead. It was an amazing swim. She was doing a time trial, '

:44:48. > :44:49.

:44:49. > :44:55.is. Was she just thinking, I will save it to the end? I don't know. We

:44:55. > :44:58.thought she could go a couple of seconds faster than she did. Did you

:44:58. > :45:02.ever feel, when you did your record, because I have this thing in my

:45:02. > :45:07.mind, did you think you could go faster? At that time I did it?When

:45:07. > :45:11.you got back to training is the next year, did you think you could go

:45:11. > :45:19.faster? I did. Not necessary the year after because there was the

:45:19. > :45:23.whole suit era, and I chose not to go down that. Definitely towards

:45:24. > :45:27.London, I did. I thought, I could break it again. It was unfortunate

:45:27. > :45:32.that it didn't work out for me, the millions of reasons. I don't think

:45:32. > :45:35.she will be aiming for that. She is so driven and she knew she had won

:45:35. > :45:40.that in the last hundred but she pushed it further because she wanted

:45:40. > :45:45.to get the time. That is what I like about her. She didn't just want to

:45:45. > :45:49.win, she wanted that world-record. I think she will keep pushing that.

:45:49. > :45:58.It'll be interesting to see if she does include the 200 metres sprint

:45:58. > :46:03.in a programme. If she continues to swim a very full programme like

:46:03. > :46:07.that, when Tipp make it more difficult for her at the end of the

:46:07. > :46:13.championship to produce a world record? Definitely, especially if

:46:13. > :46:18.she does the 200 individual. But the 1500 is not an Olympic event so that

:46:18. > :46:21.is a big one to drop. With the heat and final that is 3000 metres racing

:46:21. > :46:31.she's taking out of the programme. I think it is definitely in her

:46:31. > :46:32.

:46:32. > :46:37.reach, it is just a matter of when. Ryan Lochte and Chad Le Klos may

:46:37. > :46:45.disagree but it has been all about the girls. Katie Ledecky spoke to

:46:45. > :46:49.Sharron Davies. What have you got there? The Brazilians just gave me a

:46:49. > :46:55.football jersey and they said footballers like religion in their

:46:55. > :47:00.country which I know and they gave me a personalised shirt. Are you as

:47:00. > :47:06.good at football as you are swimming? No, I'd played soccer when

:47:06. > :47:12.I was younger but I just kicked the ball as far as I could. As a

:47:12. > :47:16.youngster, where you always interested in swimming? Always. I

:47:16. > :47:20.did everything. I think I did ten or 11 sports growing up so I have got a

:47:20. > :47:30.feel for everything but in the end my passion for swimming came out on

:47:30. > :47:37.top. And 6-foot one you are colour and size 13 US so you thought that

:47:37. > :47:41.would help? It would help with swimming. Missy Franklin going for

:47:41. > :47:46.her sixth gold medal tomorrow in the medley relay. We should also mention

:47:46. > :47:51.Ruta Meilutyte who has got her second world record. The women and

:47:52. > :47:56.girls, some of them are 15 or 16, they are strong. I think it is the

:47:56. > :48:02.way of the sport. The girls are getting younger, that is the case

:48:02. > :48:07.with Ruta Meilutyte and Katie Ledecky. So much science has

:48:07. > :48:10.happened in the sport over the last ten years. That involved with the

:48:11. > :48:15.super suits. That took it to a different level. Now people are

:48:15. > :48:17.thinking outside the box and trying different things. It has become a

:48:18. > :48:25.lot younger because they have more energy. They can do back-to-back

:48:25. > :48:29.sessions. Even though I am not old at 24 for a distance, it is more

:48:30. > :48:33.difficult than it was so that is why I have retired. It is good to see

:48:33. > :48:38.the younger girls coming through. It would be good to see some more GB

:48:38. > :48:42.girls coming through as well. think the younger swimmers can

:48:43. > :48:45.recover between sessions. And the suits that are now banned in

:48:45. > :48:49.international competition, because they do make you swim faster and

:48:49. > :48:53.they lived in higher in the water, a lot of people are using them in

:48:53. > :49:03.training to get the sensation of feeling fast and higher and then

:49:03. > :49:06.

:49:06. > :49:12.they take them off for the race. Is it like a placebo? It is like... Did

:49:12. > :49:22.it give you huge confidence to see your race and knowing I can do that,

:49:22. > :49:29.they'll know I can do that. Did it give you an extra edge? It is the

:49:29. > :49:34.training. I think that is where Katie's confidence has come from. I

:49:34. > :49:38.think that comes from the confidence of training. I knew I trained so

:49:38. > :49:42.hard. I knew I was training, if not the best in the world, I knew the

:49:42. > :49:48.work I had done and that is what gave me confidence, knowing I had

:49:48. > :49:52.put the hours in. I remember you said to me after Beijing, et NRL

:49:52. > :49:55.strains as hard as I did a deserved beer on the top of the rostrum and

:49:55. > :50:02.you thought nobody trains as well as you do so that is a sobering

:50:02. > :50:07.thought. I did hold the world record once upon a time. When you come out

:50:07. > :50:11.and see that time, and this may be a sprinter's mentality, you stand

:50:11. > :50:19.there with your chest out going, you know I can go that fast. You have

:50:19. > :50:23.never been that fast. That is why I was wondering, mind games. We came

:50:23. > :50:27.on air a little bit earlier than we planned because the women's golf in

:50:27. > :50:34.St Andrews was called off a cos the weather. In the first hour of

:50:34. > :50:40.racing, you may have missed the women's 50 fly. It included our own

:50:40. > :50:50.Fran Hulse all who qualified first fastest. Here is the race again. --

:50:50. > :51:12.

:51:12. > :51:16.start. What a great start for Jeanette Otterson grave. And Liu

:51:16. > :51:26.Yang of China going for a while. Otterson looks as if she may have

:51:26. > :51:32.

:51:32. > :51:39.it. Fran Halsall has got fourth. Oh, my goodness me. 17 seconds outside

:51:39. > :51:46.the bronze medal. What a great start for the Dane. This woman has got the

:51:46. > :51:52.best reaction to the gun. Fran only 100th of a second off the British

:51:52. > :52:02.record which she set in the heats. Close to her best time. She did

:52:02. > :52:03.

:52:04. > :52:11.well, but not well enough. She is going to drown her! Ottesen-Grey is

:52:11. > :52:21.above the three orange suits. A great start. She won it on the

:52:21. > :52:40.

:52:40. > :52:46.start. The first 15 metres Fran Halsall but she will go again

:52:46. > :52:53.in the final tomorrow. Another race you may have missed earlier on, Chad

:52:53. > :53:03.Le Klos. He has won gold here already. Today it was the men's 100

:53:03. > :53:18.

:53:19. > :53:28.15 underwater. Ryan Lochte used most of that 14 and a bit. Diebler of

:53:29. > :53:41.

:53:41. > :53:48.do now. A lot of work. Chad is coming back now. It looks as if he

:53:48. > :53:52.will be well placed. Still at the top it is Diebler. This will be

:53:52. > :54:02.mighty close. Chad Le Klos is the world champion in the 100 metres

:54:02. > :54:20.

:54:20. > :54:30.world butterfly. What a fantastic A very good swim, well placed for Le

:54:30. > :54:55.

:54:55. > :55:00.Klos. I think he had this one quite racing programme tomorrow. It will

:55:00. > :55:03.be our final day at the world summing Championships. Don't worry

:55:03. > :55:13.because a week today the world athletics Championships begin in

:55:13. > :55:47.

:55:47. > :55:53.on the track and field in Moscow because so far, the one thing, if

:55:53. > :55:59.there has been a detracting factor in this experience here is the lack

:55:59. > :56:03.of medals for Britain. It has been disappointing. We thought Michael

:56:03. > :56:09.Jameson and Andrew Willis, they were so close and we have seen so many

:56:09. > :56:18.fourth places. Jazz Carlin, Andrew Willis, Fran Halsall in fourth.

:56:18. > :56:22.had so many semifinalists. We did not hit it last year. Have had a

:56:23. > :56:28.strange year. A lot of people like Fran have only just had a coach

:56:28. > :56:33.coming in January. There is the new performance director and head coach

:56:33. > :56:36.who were only appointed in April. We are eight months behind the rest of

:56:36. > :56:45.the world. Hopefully, for our home Commonwealth 's next year, it will

:56:46. > :56:52.be more positive. Mark has been saying, I was going to see the gym

:56:52. > :56:59.is so important. When we look at you we think Jim. I was thinking the gym

:56:59. > :57:06.that Mark has been saying, that the guys need to be doing more in the

:57:06. > :57:12.gym. Let's just take the last minute to look at tomorrow's races. The one

:57:12. > :57:20.that stands out for me is the women's 50 metres breaststroke. Ruta

:57:20. > :57:26.Meilutyte, the angelic assassin goes again. No one will bet against her.

:57:26. > :57:30.I cannot look further than her for the actual winner. Efimova will go

:57:30. > :57:38.close. If you take a quarter of a length off at the start you cannot

:57:38. > :57:41.get back to them. And still hope for Fran in the 50 free? Yes, and there

:57:42. > :57:47.is also Hannah Miley going in the heats. I am really looking forward

:57:47. > :57:55.to what she can do. It has been a much smaller programme for her.

:57:55. > :57:59.of course, a couple of relays as well. Lots to look forward to.

:57:59. > :58:04.like the end of the show, the end of the World Championships, the end of

:58:04. > :58:11.any meet is the relay which showcases every stroke. Thank you

:58:11. > :58:14.very much, Becky and Jim! We are back tomorrow at five o'clock on the
