Linford Christie! And the British captain is the Olympic champion!

:00:36.:00:44.

They are going for gold! She is getting the cheer of the games. He's

:00:44.:00:51.

one nothing but admiration. Some cities can inspire. That is utterly

:00:51.:00:56.

brilliant! That is a fantastic silver medal for Britain! But this

:00:56.:01:01.

isn't just any city. This is Barcelona. Welcome to the World

:01:01.:01:11.
:01:11.:01:48.

highlights of the World Swimming Championships. Our BBC new girl

:01:48.:01:50.

Rebecca Adlington and Mark Foster have been beside me for the last

:01:51.:01:56.

week or so. We look back on a great week of racing here over the next

:01:56.:02:00.

hour and a half. The stars have shone brightly just as they did in

:02:00.:02:04.

London a year ago, and if you need a minder of the biggest names in

:02:04.:02:14.
:02:14.:02:53.

swimming, have a look at this. -- if this!

:02:53.:02:57.

One of those stars up first is coming in the 400 meter freestyle,

:02:57.:03:01.

Sun Yang took gold in that event in London and he is looking for a

:03:01.:03:05.

golden trouble here in Barcelona. Look out as well for 17-year-old

:03:05.:03:09.

James Guy. This is his first major swimming Championships, could be

:03:09.:03:15.

swimming Championships, could be something big.

:03:15.:03:21.

The 17-year-old has done a wonderful thing by getting to the final. Well

:03:21.:03:31.
:03:31.:03:33.

pace, Sun Yang of China and his strength is the second half but

:03:33.:03:39.

still going very well, the 17-year-old from Britain. But there

:03:39.:03:44.

are Sun Yang in the centre. James Guy on the right-hand side of the

:03:44.:03:50.

shot, and it is difficult to follow for these -- from these picture, I'm

:03:50.:04:00.
:04:00.:04:01.

afraid. James Guy, third or fourth. The 23rd from Washington, in the

:04:01.:04:07.

black cap, they've been talking quite highly of that guy. They are

:04:07.:04:17.
:04:17.:04:17.

pinning some hopes on Yeager. Sun Yang comes back as a rocket.

:04:17.:04:22.

Interestingly, he set such a hard pace. 100 metres to go in the final

:04:22.:04:30.

of this freestyle. And Sun Yang is behind the world-record pace. Has he

:04:30.:04:35.

gone out to quick? He is so fast coming back. Sun Yang is leading. At

:04:35.:04:45.
:04:45.:04:49.

the top, is the American. Sun Yan has spotted him. Down the bottom,

:04:49.:04:52.

James Guy is paying for his first hundred metres. He is an eighth

:04:52.:05:01.

place, tailing off. But Sun Yang, they have taken the world record of

:05:01.:05:08.

our image because he has fallen short of that now. So, he does come

:05:08.:05:14.

back very fast indeed. He has a spurt. He's going to be just outside

:05:14.:05:22.

the world-record. He was on pace all the way through. Hagino, a great

:05:22.:05:26.

swim from him. Colin Jaeger has got the bronze. James Guy has finished

:05:26.:05:34.

in fifth. His first final, very good indeed from the young Brit, 17 years

:05:34.:05:39.

of age. But the champion, Sun Yang of China. That was a great swim from

:05:39.:05:45.

him. He has not had the best of years, but to get to 3.41 is very

:05:45.:05:53.

good indeed. The Japanese, Hagino, came through. He seems to be

:05:53.:06:00.

challenging Brian Lochte for those titles. James Guy, that must have

:06:00.:06:05.

hurt him, one for the future. Confirmation of the result of the

:06:05.:06:10.

first final. Sunny Yang wins gold, Hagino of Japan, a great medal for

:06:10.:06:18.

them. Jaeger in third. James Guy in them. Jaeger in third. James Guy in

:06:19.:06:22.

fifth. Sun Yang, a superstar. He has had his problems since the Olympics.

:06:22.:06:25.

He has had to change training camps, and this is an emotional week for

:06:25.:06:30.

him. It was a huge swim and you can see how much these races mean to

:06:30.:06:36.

him. Changing coaches, that can be an adaptation period, but it shows

:06:36.:06:40.

you he's got everything right again. His training has one very well. It

:06:40.:06:44.

is a matter of when he breaks that world-record. He is so far ahead of

:06:44.:06:50.

the rest of the field, it is about him and the clock. Hagino, and name

:06:50.:06:54.

to look out for. 18 years old. Our compatriots from Japanese television

:06:54.:06:59.

have got a massive cutout form him. They're expecting big things.

:06:59.:07:03.

are comparing him to Phelps. He has got a big week as well. He's got a

:07:04.:07:09.

lot of races. It would be nice to see what he can do. It is going to

:07:09.:07:16.

be a good week from him, and hopefully he can get some models.

:07:16.:07:18.

Testing the water at these championships and seeing what it is

:07:18.:07:23.

all about, it is all in the build-up. Boys of 17 or 18 are in a

:07:23.:07:30.

perfect position to Rio. They are getting up there, but they are

:07:30.:07:35.

probably likely to be on the podium in Rio. The other problem for him,

:07:35.:07:39.

getting labelled the next Michael Phelps by your country is a tall

:07:39.:07:45.

order. American teenage sensation Ledecky is also going for a golden

:07:45.:07:49.

trouble. She sprang to our attention in London winning gold in the 800

:07:49.:07:55.

metres. Her first event, the 400 metres freestyle. Have a look out

:07:55.:07:58.

for a resurgent Jaz Carlin, who seems to have found form once more

:07:58.:08:04.

seems to have found form once more since Becky's retirement.

:08:04.:08:08.

Katie Ledecky, the fastest qualifier, but Jaz Colin goes in

:08:08.:08:14.

three, and she looked very good in the heats. -- Jaz Carlin. Coming up

:08:14.:08:18.

to the halfway mark. Katie Ledecky has gone off like a shot. She is

:08:18.:08:27.

under the world-record. I can tell you that Great Britain's Jaz Carlin

:08:27.:08:31.

now in sixth, she is moving through the field and looking good. Becky,

:08:31.:08:38.

what do you think about her? She is in a good position. Katie is next to

:08:38.:08:42.

her, it is disheartening to see how far ahead she is, but she is in a

:08:42.:08:47.

great position, so, hopefully, she can bring it back. She's looking

:08:47.:08:56.

good. She has gone into fourth position. I think Ledecky is going

:08:56.:09:00.

to probably smash this world-record. It'll be interesting to see whether

:09:00.:09:07.

Jaz Carlin can get ahead of the Spanish girl, in second place. Jaz

:09:07.:09:14.

Carlin, third place now. Kapas is also there. Camille Muffat down the

:09:14.:09:21.

bottom has gone. So, 100 metres to go, Ledecky, ahead of world-record

:09:21.:09:27.

pace and she is looking very strong indeed. Ledecky leads, second is the

:09:27.:09:34.

Spaniard. Lauren Boyle is third. Jaz Carlin has moved up to fourth. This

:09:34.:09:39.

is the strongest part of her race. World-record is still on there, but

:09:39.:09:42.

Katie Ledecky has to keep on pushing. Will it go? She looks

:09:42.:09:48.

absolutely. It was always Pellegrini is, the record. But she's going very

:09:48.:09:55.

strong. Jaz Carlin, she needs to dig deep, she could do it! Lauren Boyle

:09:55.:10:03.

or Jaz Carlin for the bronze. Jaz Carlin, 250 metres to go, in the

:10:03.:10:06.

bronze medal position. She can do it, she's going to do it, I'm so

:10:06.:10:14.

excited! The world-record is on. It is held by Federica Pellegrini of

:10:14.:10:20.

Italy. She is fit now. Can she get it? She's just outside. The

:10:20.:10:26.

silver... The bronze? Oh, it has just gone to boil of New Zealand.

:10:26.:10:31.

Oh, my goodness me. Jaz Carlin has been touched out by 14 one

:10:31.:10:41.
:10:41.:10:42.

hundredths of a second, so close! close! Tough kick. Tough one.She's

:10:42.:10:46.

the first girl in a textile suit, even though she didn't get the

:10:46.:10:49.

world-record, she's the first one to it. World champion Katie Ledecky

:10:49.:10:56.

wins. Extraordinary. Melanie Costa-Schmid was second, Lauren

:10:56.:11:00.

Boyle third, and Jaz Carlin, it has set up for the 1500 metres

:11:00.:11:06.

set up for the 1500 metres freestyle, still

:11:06.:11:09.

First Lady to go under four minutes without wearing one of those super

:11:09.:11:17.

suits. It's crazy. My coach has joked around when we are doing

:11:17.:11:23.

pace, if I'm going 29, he says, under four minutes! I always thought

:11:23.:11:28.

it was a joke, but he must have known that I could do it. I didn't.

:11:28.:11:30.

Well done, we will see you later in the week.

:11:30.:11:35.

We know from London what she is capable of over the long distances,

:11:35.:11:39.

but to see her in 400 metres, how impressed were you? It was an

:11:40.:11:44.

unbelievable race. She is the fastest woman in a textile suit, so

:11:44.:11:48.

even though she didn't get the world-record, she is the fastest

:11:48.:11:53.

woman who has done that without the new suit. I like that she has come

:11:53.:11:58.

down to the forum. She's got a big programme with the 1500 and 800

:11:58.:12:03.

metres. But I think she will try to do the shorter distances. She could

:12:03.:12:08.

be one of the great swimmers of all time. Without a doubt! Definitely.

:12:08.:12:12.

I've had the privilege of racing her, and she is an unbelievable

:12:12.:12:16.

athlete and she's so lovely as well which is so endearing. She's

:12:16.:12:20.

obviously on form, so it is going to be a very good week for her. Let's

:12:20.:12:22.

be a very good week for her. Let's move on. It's the men's 100 meter

:12:22.:12:22.

be a very good week for her. Let's move on. It's the men's 100 final

:12:22.:12:32.
:12:32.:12:34.

next. The

:12:34.:12:34.

The yellow

:12:34.:12:34.

The yellow hat

:12:34.:12:34.

The yellow hat of

:12:34.:12:39.

The yellow hat of Australia and Kitajima of Japan, those are the

:12:39.:12:46.

ones to watch. Anderberg going out very strongly. It's whether he has

:12:46.:12:52.

got the energy and training behind him to hold onto the pace. Kitajima

:12:53.:12:58.

down the bottom going well. Under world-record, quarter of a second.

:12:58.:13:02.

He had to do this, but it is a question of whether he can do it.

:13:02.:13:07.

The rest of the pool, apart from lanes one and two and three and

:13:07.:13:14.

four... This is fascinating. Surely he can't come back! He is holding

:13:14.:13:22.

well in that green cap of South Africa. It looks like it is -- it is

:13:22.:13:29.

going to be sprang. Is it? It is! Right on the touch. The gold goes to

:13:29.:13:33.

Springer, the Silver ghost of Vandenberg and the bronze goes to

:13:33.:13:43.
:13:43.:13:45.

Lima. World champion. He deserves that one. All year, he'd been half a

:13:45.:13:50.

second faster than the rest of the field. The limbic champion had

:13:50.:13:57.

patchy year. Sprenger were saying it is Van De Burgh was Mac to lose. He

:13:57.:14:01.

was trying to take the pressure off him but he knew that Van De Burgh

:14:01.:14:09.

was going to go out quickly. Sprenger, , Lima third. Kitajima was

:14:09.:14:14.

six! Now, the women's 100 metres by,

:14:14.:14:19.

followed by the hundred metre sprint of the men's.

:14:19.:14:27.

What a field. Alysia Coutts in three, Sarah Sjostrom in fourth.

:14:27.:14:36.

Dana Vollmer in sixth. The final of the women's butterfly. Heavens

:14:36.:14:46.
:14:46.:14:48.

above, that was close. The tactic we know so well and just run is staying

:14:48.:14:54.

with her. That red line is the world-record pace. Bianchi is going

:14:54.:15:04.
:15:04.:15:05.

well. Not sure she can hold that race. Still run comes back well.

:15:05.:15:09.

thought it's your strong was within four tenths of a second at the

:15:09.:15:14.

turn, I thought she would win this. She is not coming back as quick as I

:15:14.:15:23.

thought she would be. This is very, very tired indeed. Just run of

:15:23.:15:28.

Sweden right in the centre with the yellow hat. It is gold medal, four

:15:28.:15:35.

years after Rome, it ghost is your strong. Diana Vollmer, she has been

:15:35.:15:41.

ill, and she has to take bronze, the Olympic champion. That was a

:15:41.:15:50.

textbook swim from Sjostrom. Those tactics have worked for her. She has

:15:50.:15:54.

talked about being more relaxed in the competition, had a few changes

:15:54.:15:57.

in her life since the Olympic Games, going from a fourth in the

:15:57.:16:05.

Olympics to a first in the World Championships. You can see she is

:16:05.:16:15.
:16:15.:16:22.

excited! That was a very well paced race from her.

:16:22.:16:26.

This is the men's 50m butterfly final. This is going to be a

:16:26.:16:36.
:16:36.:16:59.

cracker. Very big men and a Cesar Cielo Fiho from Brazil, my

:16:59.:17:06.

goodness! Defending his champion. Nowhere near as quick as I thought

:17:06.:17:16.
:17:16.:17:18.

it was going to be. He wins it. Silver for the USA. A very exciting

:17:18.:17:28.
:17:28.:17:54.

Cesar Cielo Fiho not perhaps the most popular winner there are.

:17:54.:18:02.

Explain why? A grey cloud over his head. A few years ago, he tested

:18:02.:18:06.

positive for an masking agent. Nobody in sport bikes cheat and

:18:06.:18:11.

because there is a grey area over his head, people are still not happy

:18:11.:18:17.

about it. For me, I am used to a tight finish. Taking nothing away

:18:17.:18:20.

from his performance because I truly believe you are innocent until

:18:20.:18:28.

proven guilty. Heading towards real, here's looking to be a star in his

:18:28.:18:36.

own home game. He has a PR exercise to do. Yes, he is a huge name. He

:18:36.:18:43.

will be the big name leading into real itself. That was a good race

:18:43.:18:51.

there, but swimmers do not like seeing other cheats. We have two

:18:51.:18:55.

British women at the beginnings of their careers will stop this is the

:18:55.:18:58.

200 metres medley, we have Sophie 200 metres medley, we have Sophie

:18:58.:19:06.

Allen and Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. have two Brits in this race. What a

:19:06.:19:16.
:19:16.:19:17.

great opportunity for both of them. Really interesting. Great Britain in

:19:17.:19:23.

lanes six and eight. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor normally goes out very

:19:23.:19:33.

quickly. They really have to try and work hard. Out of the blocks, they

:19:33.:19:43.
:19:43.:19:56.

are going very well. Under the world record at the moment. She is really

:19:56.:19:59.

trying to put some distance between her and the lady closest to the

:19:59.:20:09.
:20:09.:20:11.

camera. She is really going to have to drive it home. Look at the

:20:11.:20:21.
:20:21.:20:23.

bottom, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor is doing very well. She has got a good

:20:23.:20:29.

breaststroke as well, so now the race is on. They will now try to

:20:29.:20:39.
:20:39.:20:44.

catch the Hungary. -- the Hungary. The yellow card of the Australian

:20:44.:20:54.
:20:54.:20:59.

summer coming back now. What a great race! I cannot see her losing this

:20:59.:21:09.
:21:09.:21:13.

one now. I cannot believe she will give it up now. I don't think they

:21:13.:21:22.

have enough. Finally, she is going to win the big one. She has become

:21:22.:21:32.
:21:32.:21:36.

world champion! Goodness me, that is her third silver medal of these

:21:36.:21:46.
:21:46.:21:50.

championships. What a fantastic swim. You can hear the crowd. You

:21:50.:22:00.
:22:00.:22:01.

can see that the Spanish girl got a medal by the reaction of this crowd.

:22:01.:22:06.

She has had a huge schedule. She has prepared herself for raising tough

:22:06.:22:16.
:22:16.:22:27.

all the way through this wants to improve after the

:22:27.:22:32.

semifinal, you always want to get faster but it was amazing race.

:22:32.:22:37.

Everyone was so close, there was still little between second and

:22:37.:22:43.

third place. It just wasn't in me tonight. A lovely surprise for you

:22:43.:22:51.

to be in there? Definitely, it was a crazy ten minutes. I was absolutely

:22:51.:22:57.

gutted not to have made the final. When I got told that someone had

:22:57.:23:02.

pulled out, it was unbelievable. is the men's 200 metres free now,

:23:02.:23:08.

one of the most eagerly anticipated races of the event. Olympic

:23:08.:23:14.

champion, Yannick Agnel, has had a mixed year. He was not even going to

:23:14.:23:18.

swim before it all started. Ryan locked swimming in this as well and

:23:18.:23:28.
:23:28.:23:32.

locked swimming in this as well and our very own Robbie Renwick.

:23:32.:23:42.
:23:42.:23:43.

A good, clean start. Robbie Renwick in lanes six has not bad start. As

:23:43.:23:48.

expected, right at the top, the Olympic champion, Yannick Agnel. He

:23:48.:23:54.

is really going for it. Interesting tactics to go for it from the gun.

:23:54.:24:01.

Trying to assert himself from the beginning of the race. He knows that

:24:01.:24:07.

Ryan locked likes to use the turn. Still in a dominating position,

:24:07.:24:17.
:24:17.:24:18.

though. This is fascinating and poor old Robbie Renwick, he was on Ryan

:24:18.:24:28.
:24:28.:24:29.

locked 's feet. Robbie Renwick has to move if he wants a chance of a

:24:29.:24:38.

medal. Australia is going well, they are all over the place on this one.

:24:38.:24:45.

The question now is whether Yannick Agnel can hold its lead? We know

:24:45.:24:55.
:24:55.:24:59.

Robbie Renwick can come back in the last 50m. Coming back in the centre

:24:59.:25:03.

in the blackout of America, it is Ryan locked. He looks very good

:25:03.:25:13.
:25:13.:25:14.

indeed. Can they catch you next in Jill. I don't think they can.

:25:14.:25:23.

Yannick Agnel gets the gold medal. That is a massive surprise! What a

:25:23.:25:28.

huge surprise. He went from the gun and that is how to win a world

:25:28.:25:33.

championship title! That was a phenomenal swimmer. He did it in the

:25:33.:25:36.

in big games, he shocked everybody from the start and never let the

:25:36.:25:46.
:25:46.:25:48.

race go. Ryan locked coming in fourth in the end. What a wonderful

:25:48.:25:54.

performance. Huge French support here. The Olympic champion becomes

:25:54.:26:04.

here. The Olympic champion becomes the world champion. That race was

:26:04.:26:08.

all over the place, it didn't take its normal pattern, was it hard to

:26:08.:26:15.

understand what was going on? guess. I always stick to my own race

:26:15.:26:20.

plan, it doesn't really matter what the other people do. Unfortunately,

:26:20.:26:24.

I just came up a bit short tonight. It is certainly something I can look

:26:24.:26:29.

into for next season. I will now work on that and come the

:26:29.:26:33.

Commonwealth games next year. I have got to be excited about that.

:26:33.:26:37.

he be disappointed with his performance this year? Definitely

:26:37.:26:42.

not, the timing is good for him. He did well to make the final and he

:26:42.:26:48.

has a home Commonwealth Games next year. I love about him is that he

:26:48.:26:53.

sticks to his own race plan, he does not get intimidated by being next to

:26:53.:26:56.

Yannick Agnel, he sticks to his own plan and that is what you have to do

:26:56.:27:01.

in that situation. Yannick Agnel release a prized us, not looking

:27:01.:27:05.

over Lee impressed in the semifinals and the heats and then he pulled it

:27:05.:27:13.

out of the bag. Did he time it to perfection? In the heats and

:27:13.:27:21.

semifinals, the bigger swims like to leave something for the finals. He

:27:21.:27:29.

still had to deliver. He has changed swimming groups this year and it

:27:29.:27:32.

doesn't just happen, you don't suddenly find improvements and is a

:27:32.:27:35.

worry that you come into major championship with another coach and

:27:35.:27:41.

different training and it doesn't happen so hats off to him. He was

:27:41.:27:46.

not even thinking of swimming this but the French seemed to have

:27:46.:27:51.

forgiven him because there were plenty of French support here. Next

:27:51.:27:56.

up we have the women's 100m backstroke. Britain 's Gemma

:27:56.:28:01.

Spofforth holds the world record but it is fair to say America 's

:28:01.:28:09.

received the missile Franklin as it firmly in her sights. -- Missy the

:28:09.:28:15.

firmly in her sights. -- Missy the Missile Franklin. Goodness, she has

:28:15.:28:25.
:28:25.:28:27.

worked hard. The gold medal goes to the USA! Missy Franklin, will she

:28:27.:28:37.

break the world record? She goes in lane number four. A much better

:28:37.:28:47.
:28:47.:28:50.

start from Missy Franklin. This fresh 25, she is working hard. Her

:28:50.:28:55.

second 50m is very strong indeed. The strata must have been playing on

:28:55.:29:00.

her mind quite a lot. We have China in Lane to really leading the pace.

:29:00.:29:10.
:29:10.:29:12.

The world-record line is there and they are right on it. This is

:29:12.:29:18.

definitely on. Gemma Spofforth came back very fast but this is Missy

:29:18.:29:28.
:29:28.:29:35.

Franklin 's watcher. Missy Franklin looks very, very good. She has just

:29:35.:29:40.

missed the world-record. But it is gold to Missy Franklin. The silver

:29:40.:29:46.

has gone to Emily Seebohm from Australia. That was pretty much the

:29:46.:29:53.

order we expected. The disappointing thing was the way she swam that, I

:29:53.:29:59.

was surprised she didn't go out any harder. Missy Franklin adds the

:29:59.:30:04.

harder. Missy Franklin adds the world championship title to what she

:30:04.:30:09.

world championship title to what That was her second gold of the

:30:09.:30:12.

championships, we will see later of -- more of her later in the

:30:12.:30:17.

programme. If there is one woman who can steal her thunder, it is Katie

:30:17.:30:27.
:30:27.:30:28.

Ledecky. Next up, the 1500m. What a fool this will be. --

:30:28.:30:38.
:30:38.:30:44.

quarterback told this will be. This Ledecky, absolutely neck and neck. I

:30:44.:30:50.

think the gap between the gold and silver is starting to get slightly

:30:50.:30:56.

smaller. I don't think they're going to catch the two leaders, but it is

:30:56.:31:06.
:31:06.:31:07.

getting shorter. Lauren Boyle is closing the gap every single stroke.

:31:07.:31:13.

I think she has got a bit too far to catch up. It has been a fantastic

:31:13.:31:22.

sprint. It is going to come down to the last 50. How excited are you?

:31:22.:31:30.

Just a little! 300 metres to go in this final of the women's 1500

:31:30.:31:37.

metres freestyle. Hardly 100th of a second has changed between these two

:31:37.:31:47.
:31:47.:31:59.

women all the way through this race. worry for Lotte Friis, I worry for

:31:59.:32:03.

her because I do think the sprint of Katie Ledecky is probably looking

:32:03.:32:13.
:32:13.:32:19.

good. Still five seconds ahead of world-record pace. I think she is

:32:19.:32:22.

trying to breathe the opposite way to Lotte Friis. Lotte Friis is going

:32:22.:32:32.
:32:32.:32:34.

for it more. It's interesting, they are breathing away from each other.

:32:34.:32:38.

Ledecky has finally taken over, it has taken her 1300 metres to do so.

:32:38.:32:48.

I wonder if this is where lead to key makes a move? She has let Lotte

:32:48.:32:53.

Friis lead for the last 200 metres or so. But she is making her move

:32:53.:32:59.

now. To be honest, it is the right time for her to move, the right

:32:59.:33:08.

opportunity, she's got enough left. How hard are the terms now? Maybe

:33:08.:33:18.
:33:18.:33:20.

you want to save something for the end? They've both got quite equal

:33:21.:33:30.
:33:31.:33:32.

terms. They've both got very strong terms. -- turns. With 100 metres to

:33:32.:33:39.

go, the final turn. It looks like Katie Ledecky has made her big

:33:39.:33:45.

move. Can she hold on? They are under the world-record pace. It is

:33:45.:33:49.

going to be shattered. It looks like Katie Ledecky is starting to swim

:33:49.:33:54.

away from Lotte Friis. What an amazing swim this has been. She took

:33:54.:34:00.

half a second off Lotte Friis. I don't know that she can respond. I

:34:00.:34:09.

think the race is over. Katie is the clear winner. She is more focused on

:34:09.:34:19.

the distance. At Friis has been able to kick it up. This has been

:34:19.:34:23.

unbelievable. This is very impressive stuff. The Olympic

:34:23.:34:27.

champion on the 800 metres freestyle, she is going to destroy

:34:27.:34:33.

the world record on this 1500 metres. The world-record stand at

:34:33.:34:39.

15.42.54. The world champion, the new world-record holder is Katie

:34:39.:34:44.

Ledecky of the USA. The Silver ghost to Lotte Friis of Denmark, also well

:34:44.:34:50.

under the world-record pace. The bronze goes to the Australian. What

:34:50.:34:54.

a superb race it was. She left 200 metres to go and then made her move

:34:54.:35:04.
:35:04.:35:07.

and it was decisive. She took to Mexicans out of Lotte Friis. -- she

:35:07.:35:17.
:35:17.:35:24.

Ledecky, destroyed the old world record. The Silver ghost to Lotte

:35:24.:35:29.

Friis, a good bronze the Lauren Friis, a good bronze the Lauren

:35:29.:35:33.

Boyle. Very impressive stuff. What an impressive swim. Six seconds

:35:33.:35:37.

off the world-record! It is not swum at the Olympics, so we shouldn't be

:35:37.:35:42.

too surprised she broke it, but she did it in some style. It was such a

:35:42.:35:47.

brilliant race! It was head-to-head between her and Lotte Friis. Yes, we

:35:47.:35:54.

want to see the whole field up with them, but it was nice to see them

:35:54.:35:59.

fighting it out. She paced it out, she took off at the right time. The

:35:59.:36:05.

last 200 metres, she didn't leave it to the last 50. That is why it was

:36:05.:36:09.

six seconds under. Unbelievable. 16, she cannot be at the peak of her

:36:09.:36:16.

powers. Funny, it was a huge surprise seeing have beat Becky last

:36:16.:36:22.

year and to get to Becky's record. I didn't suddenly expect to see that

:36:22.:36:27.

much of an improvement. Improve so much one yet and improve coming to

:36:27.:36:34.

these championships, she has got a bright future. She looks very

:36:34.:36:38.

strong, she's got a lot of speed at the same time. She has got a lot

:36:38.:36:43.

bigger as well, compared to last year. She has balked up, even in the

:36:43.:36:48.

gym, got stronger. It will be good to see how she progresses that.

:36:48.:36:56.

golds for the US star. She put -- she took time out to meet up with

:36:56.:36:58.

Sharron. Katie Ledecky of the USA,

:36:58.:37:06.

international debut. Katie Ledecky, a big shock, she's going to win the

:37:06.:37:11.

gold in 800 freestyle! I bet your life has changed

:37:11.:37:17.

massively, what is different than 18 months ago? Not much. I got back

:37:17.:37:24.

into school after last summer, and back to normal. So, all your mates

:37:24.:37:29.

have treated you exactly the same? Oh, yes. They were welcoming and

:37:29.:37:33.

excited for me to come back. I shared my experience with them as

:37:33.:37:38.

much as I could the first week, and then after that it was back to

:37:38.:37:47.

normal. Hugely busy trials. 200, 400, 800, 1500. You dropped 200.

:37:47.:37:55.

Taking it in your stride? Definitely more than I have done. I've prepared

:37:55.:37:59.

for it this year. I know I have the opportunity to swim all those

:37:59.:38:04.

events. I am so honoured to have the opportunity to swim all these events

:38:04.:38:09.

on the international stage. Does it faze you? That 1500 metres was such

:38:09.:38:16.

a tough race. I do better as the week goes along. So getting some

:38:16.:38:21.

races out of the way, that is helping me. The 800 metres, the

:38:21.:38:26.

world record is held by Becky Adlington. You wrote a letter to

:38:26.:38:30.

her, why did you do that? I wanted to tell her how can she was after

:38:30.:38:35.

the race. After she announced her retirement, I thought that was a

:38:35.:38:41.

good opportunity to thank her. I didn't get that much time to talk to

:38:41.:38:46.

her after the race, so I wanted to thank her for being so kind and just

:38:46.:38:50.

for a great race. Having smashed the world-record 1500 metres, have you

:38:50.:38:55.

got a target for this one? necessarily. I want to do all my

:38:55.:39:00.

best, like all the other races. If it brings the Bates -- brings the

:39:00.:39:03.

best time, then it is great. Thank you very much.

:39:03.:39:08.

On Monday, we were treated to something very special in the

:39:08.:39:15.

women's semifinal of the 100 metres.

:39:15.:39:25.
:39:25.:39:31.

But an 80 day of Plymouth and fascinating! She can go even faster.

:39:31.:39:36.

What a great swing that was. The Olympic champion is now the

:39:36.:39:46.
:39:46.:39:56.

world-record holder on the 100 breast wrote. The green hat of the

:39:56.:40:06.
:40:06.:40:20.

Mytilene and -- the green hat of the to the gun. She's going to have to

:40:20.:40:26.

come back quite strongly. I don't think the field can challenge her.

:40:26.:40:31.

Efimova and Hardy to the right of her. They are certainly trying.

:40:31.:40:38.

Efimova in that hat is not letting it go. It looks like it is going to

:40:38.:40:41.

be Meilutyte, she is right on world-record pace. We'll should

:40:41.:40:49.

become world champion as well? -- will she become? She is just

:40:49.:40:56.

outside! Seven tenths of a second outside the world-record. But she is

:40:56.:41:01.

the world champion and I think she is delighted. Absolutely brilliant

:41:01.:41:06.

swimming. Good heavens. She went out much more measured than her first

:41:06.:41:16.

50, but, goodness me, can she bring it back. Meilutyte of Lithuania wins

:41:16.:41:20.

the breaststroke. Efimova come second.

:41:20.:41:25.

Olympic champion, Bob Champion, world-record holder, put it into

:41:25.:41:31.

some perspective. It is quite something. She's only 16 years of

:41:31.:41:34.

age. There is an awful lot more to come. We've got the 50 breast

:41:34.:41:39.

wrote, it wouldn't surprise me if she dominated that as well. -- we've

:41:39.:41:45.

got the 50 breaststroke. She was 12 years old when she came to Britain

:41:45.:41:49.

from Lithuania. Her mum passed away when she was only four years old.

:41:49.:41:52.

She was knocked over in a traffic accident. She was brought up I had

:41:52.:41:56.

grandmother. She sends most of her winnings back to Lithuania to look

:41:57.:42:02.

after the family. The question that a lot of people are asking, she is

:42:02.:42:06.

based in Britain, she trains with a British coach, so why are we not

:42:06.:42:09.

seen more British youngsters coming through? Well, that is very

:42:09.:42:15.

frustrating. There have been good results at Olympic youth

:42:15.:42:20.

Championships, but we don't seem to be able to change those into senior

:42:20.:42:25.

successes. That is the big question, rather than why are we not

:42:25.:42:29.

producing the youngsters, because we are producing youngsters. More to

:42:29.:42:31.

come from Meilutyte and from the British youngsters who are coming

:42:31.:42:36.

through, hopefully. Let's move on to a man who has

:42:36.:42:40.

achieved it already on the world stage. It is the 200 meter fly. Of

:42:40.:42:45.

course, the outstanding favourite took gold in London, but he is more

:42:45.:42:53.

famous for the person he beat last year, or his larger-than-life dad.

:42:53.:43:00.

Chad Le Clos, so famously beating Michael Phelps in London in 2012.

:43:00.:43:08.

is not trying very hard on this one. Very easy. He's looking around.

:43:08.:43:14.

Heavens above. He put his head down for three strokes and won it.

:43:14.:43:17.

very happy with the time. I am number one qualifier, that's good

:43:17.:43:26.

for me. The finalist of the 200 metres butterfly, Chad Le Clos,

:43:26.:43:36.
:43:36.:43:53.

looking around a lot. I think we will see him concentrate far more on

:43:53.:44:03.
:44:03.:44:04.

his own race. Very, very relaxed. is good to be relaxed. Underneath, I

:44:04.:44:09.

bet he is working hard. Korzeniowski is in good shape. He won the world

:44:09.:44:16.

University games. It's not the guest of competitions, but he did a great

:44:16.:44:21.

job. I am surprised paying is not here with them. He did struggle in

:44:21.:44:31.
:44:31.:44:34.

the semis. Le Clos is more determined than he was. At six

:44:34.:44:39.

tenths of a second outside the time that he won in the Olympic Games. He

:44:39.:44:42.

does look reasonably strong but the field has not disappeared yet,

:44:42.:44:49.

that's for certain. He looked left and right again! He is looking

:44:49.:44:55.

right, he's seeing where they are, if he is not careful, Korzeniowski,

:44:55.:45:01.

the world champion from 2005, he's going to take this race to him.

:45:01.:45:06.

Well, Korzeniowski is turning first. Chad Le Clos, stop looking around,

:45:06.:45:12.

just do the job! Stop looking again! Nothing you can do. Concentrate on

:45:12.:45:16.

your own race. This is amazing. I've never seen anyone look around so

:45:16.:45:24.

hard. Look at him looking around. This is ridiculous. Go forward! Go

:45:24.:45:28.

forward! It looks like he's going to win but only just. Goodness me. He

:45:28.:45:38.
:45:38.:45:50.

does win. Oh my goodness, do not swim like that! Chad Le Clos, world

:45:50.:45:53.

champion. A different way of doing champion. A different way of doing

:45:53.:46:02.

it. Congratulations! Tell us about the looking will stop people are

:46:02.:46:08.

going crazy watching you are going across the pill. I just get very

:46:08.:46:12.

nervous and I look around and make sure I am in the right position. I

:46:12.:46:17.

have done it from a right -- a young age but it fuelled my motivation to

:46:17.:46:25.

get better. You're not going to change it? Like to know where I am

:46:25.:46:33.

in the field and make sure I am ahead. That was my game plan

:46:33.:46:39.

tonight, to make sure I was there. guess your dad is here? Yes he is

:46:39.:46:46.

here. Andy in particular, you are really frustrated by the way that

:46:46.:46:51.

Chad Le Clos seems to lift his head and look around at his opposition

:46:51.:46:57.

until the very end? I think it is utterly ridiculous, to be honest. If

:46:57.:47:02.

you do look sideways like that, you get unbalanced and you have to try

:47:02.:47:10.

and stay as flat as possible. It is not an efficient stroke at all. If I

:47:10.:47:16.

am going like this and then I look at that, if he is ahead of me, what

:47:16.:47:23.

am I going to do? Faster or slower? Concentrate on what you are doing,

:47:23.:47:31.

going straight forward. Can you tell he is irritated? Me to. As

:47:31.:47:35.

ex-swimmers, we get irritated by it. I was hoping he would lose one of

:47:35.:47:41.

these races. How much quicker could he go because this was much slower

:47:41.:47:45.

than last year. He did not have Michael Phelps pushing him, that

:47:45.:47:52.

motivation, but if he is doing that, how much quicker can he go? He needs

:47:52.:47:56.

to go another second to break the world-record he oozes talent, but I

:47:56.:48:00.

think he could break it if he concentrated properly. In the

:48:00.:48:05.

Olympics last year, he was a second of Michael Phelps -- Michael Phelps

:48:05.:48:12.

's record. If you want to be one of the best in the world, to get in

:48:12.:48:17.

that pantheon of great, he has to mature a bit. Hopefully, he will

:48:17.:48:22.

take heed that advice! Let's move on to the women's 200 metres free

:48:22.:48:27.

final. We have the American sweetheart, Missy Franklin, and the

:48:27.:48:31.

world record holder from Italy, Francesca Pellegrini, the only

:48:31.:48:32.

Francesca Pellegrini, the only decided to swim this event a few

:48:33.:48:42.
:48:43.:48:54.

Well, Missy Franklin had a fairly slow start. She has come up in the

:48:54.:49:04.
:49:04.:49:07.

lead but her reaction to the gun is relatively slow. This is the one

:49:07.:49:10.

final I have been really looking forward to tonight, when I saw the

:49:11.:49:18.

list and saw who was in it. Francesca Pellegrini always comes

:49:18.:49:28.
:49:28.:49:36.

back strongly. She is off the pace at the moment. She will not be able

:49:36.:49:46.
:49:46.:49:47.

to catch them on this distance. Very interesting tactics. At 75 metres,

:49:47.:49:51.

Missy Franklin has started going. She really put on a huge sprint and

:49:51.:49:55.

it looks like the Olympic champion is trying to go with her in that

:49:55.:49:58.

white hat. It is Missy Franklin leading just behind the

:49:58.:50:04.

world-record. Francesca Pellegrini is about three metres behind but she

:50:04.:50:09.

will come back very fast. Francesca Pellegrini is currently in fifth but

:50:10.:50:18.

I would expect her to get a medal. Missy Franklin is having a great

:50:18.:50:28.
:50:28.:50:28.

swimmer. Francesca Pellegrini is coming back like a rocket. The

:50:28.:50:32.

18-year-old from Colorado, Missy Franklin, is currently leading but

:50:32.:50:35.

look how fast Francesca Pellegrini is coming back. She is coming back

:50:35.:50:42.

superfast, it will be mighty tide. Missy Franklin is the world

:50:42.:50:49.

champion. The world-record holder gets the silver medal. What an

:50:49.:50:55.

amazing race! Perfect tactics from this young lady, Missy Franklin,

:50:55.:51:05.
:51:05.:51:08.

this young lady, Missy Franklin, from the USA. It is 35 years since

:51:08.:51:13.

an American lady one that medal? did not know that actually! Well

:51:13.:51:22.

done! Did you plan those tactics? knew I was going to have two B eyed

:51:22.:51:29.

fast because Federica Pellegrini is very fast. In the last 25 metres, I

:51:29.:51:36.

could see her creeping up. Missy Franklin, still on track. She is

:51:36.:51:42.

only 18, where can she go from here? Who knows? Freestyler has deftly

:51:42.:51:45.

come on this year. The good thing about her is that she does so many

:51:45.:51:55.

events. She can do anything she puts her mind to. She has got a big

:51:55.:52:00.

programme so as she gets older, she may cut it down. She is on form and

:52:00.:52:07.

I am glad to see her freestyle has come on so much. This intrigues me

:52:07.:52:11.

about swimming from the outside, but as you get older, you would cut your

:52:11.:52:18.

programme down and for example with Katie Ledecky, the younger swimmer

:52:18.:52:22.

seems to do better at distance and it seems at first to athletics?

:52:22.:52:28.

they all start swimming, the younger you are, the more distance you do.

:52:28.:52:31.

Then you choose your events. At a younger age, because you do not have

:52:31.:52:38.

as much muscle mass, you can do more races. That is why people start to

:52:38.:52:42.

come down the distances when they get bigger and stronger. Strength

:52:42.:52:51.

means speed rather than in Germans. If Rebecca had carried on, she would

:52:51.:53:01.
:53:01.:53:03.

have been a 15 metre swimmer eventually! China 's Sun Yang is up

:53:03.:53:09.

eventually! China 's Sun Yang is up next with the 800m. I am really,

:53:09.:53:13.

really looking forward to this one. Sun Yang of China is only the second

:53:13.:53:20.

fastest qualifier. Goodness me, this is going to be a cracker. Six

:53:20.:53:25.

lengths to go and Sun Yang of China looks comfortable. He is starting to

:53:25.:53:29.

pick up the pace a little bit. Michael Brown of the USA is behind

:53:29.:53:39.
:53:39.:53:52.

him. Conor Yeager in the black cat. Sun Yang is doing really well. I

:53:52.:53:58.

think he is in great shape. Great technique. He is starting to kick

:53:58.:54:07.

the legs are little bit more. I hate to say it but I think he wants -- I

:54:07.:54:17.
:54:17.:54:18.

think he has got them where he wants them, I hope. 200 metres left in

:54:18.:54:26.

this race. Sun Yang, I think, playing with them. Look at his

:54:26.:54:32.

fingers, slightly open. Such a long stroke. Goodness, he builds the

:54:32.:54:42.
:54:42.:54:45.

water all the way through to his feet. The two Americans are swimming

:54:45.:54:55.
:54:55.:54:58.

very well. Cochran has a decent sprint. It would be a phenomenal

:54:58.:55:03.

thing to get on the podium here. Sun Yang now starting to put a kick on

:55:03.:55:09.

and are starting to go. I don't think the rest are going to go with

:55:09.:55:18.

him. 100m to go, two lengths left. Soon a gang of China leading and he

:55:18.:55:28.
:55:28.:55:28.

has taken two metres out of the field. That is Sun Yang and he looks

:55:28.:55:34.

really good. Look at that, he was only about four tenths of a second

:55:34.:55:37.

two lengths go and look at that! The silver and bronze is really, great

:55:38.:55:47.
:55:48.:55:55.

tit. -- really tight. Here he goes again, America and Canada where are

:55:55.:56:01.

the next two medals going to go? looks like the gold medal and

:56:01.:56:11.
:56:11.:56:12.

championship title will go to Sun Yang of China. He is the world

:56:13.:56:18.

champion. An amazing swim, he just played with them for 600 metres and

:56:18.:56:28.
:56:28.:56:42.

blew them away in the end. He is so, blew them away in the end. He is so,

:56:42.:56:50.

so impressive. The emotion from sin Yang, that was his second gold, and

:56:50.:56:55.

it all came out. He had been building up all week? We do not know

:56:55.:56:59.

what goes on behind-the-scenes. We heard he changed his coach and his

:56:59.:57:07.

training tactics. Maybe he came in for a lot of criticism, I don't

:57:07.:57:11.

know. Those emotions or it may be meant just that much to him. He

:57:11.:57:21.

absolutely dominates the race. It is a beautiful thing to watch. Only the

:57:21.:57:28.

great Grant Hackett has achieved this in the past. Rightly so, I love

:57:28.:57:35.

that his emotion comes out after the race. It is nice to see that. We

:57:35.:57:41.

dedicate 50 weeks a year to this and we put our bodies to the limit every

:57:41.:57:44.

day so you cannot help but get emotional and it is nice because it

:57:44.:57:49.

means so much to him. He does the work and that is why it means so

:57:49.:57:54.

much to him. The final leg of this trilogy is the 1500m and you can see

:57:54.:57:59.

how he gets on in our coverage tomorrow. Next, the men's 200 metres

:57:59.:58:06.

tomorrow. Next, the men's 200 metres individual medley. Ryan looked he

:58:06.:58:16.
:58:16.:58:25.

starts as a favourite. -- Ryan locked. If the start is anything to

:58:25.:58:35.
:58:35.:59:14.

great world-record split. I'm surprised that he is so far behind.

:59:14.:59:20.

Could this be the time when he finally wins and medal? Fourth in

:59:20.:59:30.
:59:30.:59:31.

three consecutive world Championships. Ryan 's rest/is

:59:31.:59:41.
:59:41.:59:50.

superb. He made such an impact in the semifinals last night. Ryan is

:59:50.:59:54.

the first to turn. The charge is now going to come from the whole field

:59:54.:59:59.

from these guys but surely they will not catch this guy, Ryan? He has

:59:59.:00:03.

worked hard so far. Look at the rest of the field coming back. The gold

:00:03.:00:08.

is definitely going to go to Ryan. He won two years ago and he looks

:00:08.:00:13.

very tired indeed that it is going to be a world title number two for

:00:13.:00:23.
:00:23.:00:24.

him. The silver has gone to Hagino. him. The silver has gone to Hagino.

:00:24.:00:32.

What a last 50 that was. Finally Pereira has got a bronze. Hagino

:00:32.:00:37.

finished so strongly. But Ryan Lochte, world champion, repeating

:00:37.:00:46.

what Michael Phelps dead from 2003, 2005 and 2007. Three world titles in

:00:46.:00:54.

a row in this men's 200 medley. Three consecutive titles, pretty

:00:54.:01:01.

impressive. Makes you an old man, really! And say that, I'm still

:01:01.:01:06.

young! I wasn't really knowing what to expect out of these World

:01:06.:01:11.

Championships. My trainer hasn't really been there this year. But I

:01:11.:01:15.

do know how to race. It was a tough do know how to race. It was a tough

:01:15.:01:23.

race and I am You won it very convincingly. Tough year. You are a

:01:23.:01:27.

reality TV star! Taking girls to dinners, I've heard. Same

:01:27.:01:36.

restaurant, I've heard. No good! know, I had the honour of doing a

:01:36.:01:42.

lot of unique and different things. But, you know, when it comes down to

:01:42.:01:50.

it, I am an Olympic athlete, and I am going to 2016 or longer. Right

:01:50.:01:56.

now my focus is 2016. Well, he did it, in spite of his new life as a

:01:56.:02:01.

reality star. And very little training. How difficult is it to not

:02:01.:02:07.

have the kind of intensity that he would normally have? Massive. He

:02:07.:02:14.

would have done a lead-in to the Olympic Games. The training in one

:02:14.:02:19.

year, it doesn't go overnight, but he hasn't focused that much as he

:02:19.:02:23.

has done. But he can have an easy year, a part-time year, and dominate

:02:23.:02:29.

this race. He can't afford to keep his foot off the gas for the next

:02:29.:02:35.

three years. He wants to be the Phelps dominating figure, but to be

:02:35.:02:38.

that in Rio, year is going to have to knuckle down. He must do that but

:02:39.:02:45.

I think he did the right time. Swimmers do run on a four year

:02:45.:02:50.

cycle, so he chose the right time to do the same, to do something

:02:50.:02:55.

different. But he knows he is famous because of what he does in the pool.

:02:55.:03:00.

And he still managed to win. So he will build it up over the next three

:03:00.:03:05.

years and he will cut down on the reality TV. We can't blame him for

:03:05.:03:11.

enjoying the fine! It is good for the sport. We need characters in the

:03:11.:03:15.

sport. It is one of those great events now, the men's 100 metres

:03:15.:03:19.

free. This was the closest race in London, one of the closest head to

:03:19.:03:25.

heads ever. Nathan Adrian beat Australia's James Magnusson by one

:03:25.:03:28.

100th of a second. Could the Australian get revenge on

:03:28.:03:37.

Australian get revenge on Watch lane six, James Magnusson.

:03:37.:03:47.
:03:47.:03:47.

This is going to be tight. They are away very cleanly. The final of the

:03:47.:03:57.
:03:57.:03:58.

100 metres freestyle. Good start by Nathan Adrian. Also going very well

:03:58.:04:08.

is Morozov. Morozov is a champion. He did this before. Great 50

:04:08.:04:18.
:04:18.:04:20.

freestyle. Zero point 23 -- 0.23 under the world record. Can he hold

:04:20.:04:27.

on? Also going well is McAvoy. Can he hold on, Morozov, is he going to

:04:27.:04:34.

steal it? James Magnusson, is he going to get it? Magnusson gets the

:04:34.:04:40.

gold. He defends the title he won two years ago. He has done it again.

:04:40.:04:47.

The silver has gone too I think it was Nathan Adrian of the USA.

:04:47.:04:57.
:04:57.:05:03.

think it was Feigen. And then McAvoy was third. Morozov was fifth!

:05:04.:05:07.

Magnussen has successfully defended Magnussen has successfully defended

:05:07.:05:11.

his championship. You said there was a bit more in the

:05:11.:05:17.

tank. Was that something to prove? think there was a lot of emotion in

:05:17.:05:22.

the swim for me. I have had a lot of tough times in the last year.

:05:22.:05:27.

us about them because maybe the Brits don't know, although we like

:05:27.:05:32.

to relish in a bit of Australian bashing, don't we? My confidence got

:05:32.:05:35.

knocked, there was a lot of controversy around swimming in

:05:35.:05:42.

Australia. And I just wanted to get back to the top. I have done that.

:05:42.:05:45.

Hopefully the Aussie cricketers can follow suit!

:05:45.:05:49.

We had two women in the final of the 50 meter backstroke. Maura Quigley

:05:49.:05:56.

50 meter backstroke. Maura Quigley and Georgia Davies.

:05:56.:06:02.

Laura Quigley is in one and Georgia Davies is innate. Manchester's Laura

:06:02.:06:10.

Quigley right on top, and Georgia Davies is at the bottom. A very good

:06:10.:06:15.

start in lane two from the Brazilian. This is very tight down

:06:15.:06:25.
:06:25.:06:27.

this first 25 metres. The Chinese are doing very well. Who is it going

:06:27.:06:37.
:06:37.:06:44.

to be? Fu? No, Zhao wins. The silver goes to Fu and it is the Chinese 12.

:06:44.:06:52.

So, Zhao wins the final of the 50 metres backstroke. It is a 1-2 for

:06:52.:06:55.

China. Great Britain in sixth and eighth, good swim from the British

:06:56.:07:01.

eighth, good swim from the British women.

:07:01.:07:05.

So, they didn't get medals this time, but how good is that the

:07:05.:07:08.

British swimming to have that strength and depth in an event and

:07:08.:07:14.

have those girls pushing each other in the way that you had a rivalry

:07:15.:07:19.

between Joe Jackson? This is Lauren's first competition so she

:07:19.:07:23.

will appreciate having Georgia in the pool, and helping out with

:07:23.:07:26.

anything she is uncertain with. But they are so close on everything.

:07:26.:07:31.

They came joint on the semifinals, and it would be brilliant if they

:07:31.:07:35.

can train a bit together over the next few years, help each other and

:07:35.:07:40.

push each other on. It is nice they get on as well, because it is

:07:40.:07:43.

friendly rivalry. They spend so much time together, it would be nice to

:07:43.:07:49.

have that camaraderie. They definitely do. It is the 100 metres

:07:49.:07:54.

free now, Missy Franklin in the race. But we will be watching Kate

:07:54.:08:04.
:08:04.:08:12.

Kate Campbell the fastest in the world is in five. Good start up in

:08:12.:08:17.

three. Look at that. A good start from Cate Campbell, right in the

:08:17.:08:26.

centre with a yellow hat. Look at that, she has got a body length over

:08:26.:08:36.
:08:36.:08:38.

everybody else. 0.6 under the world-record pace. And she comes

:08:38.:08:43.

back, Cate Campbell. The charge of the light Brigade, Missy Franklin

:08:43.:08:53.
:08:53.:08:54.

coming back. Underneath the world-record. The world-record is.

:08:54.:09:03.

Falling off it now. Come on, get in! 52.34. A very good swim and a new

:09:03.:09:07.

world champion in the women's 100 metres freestyle is Australia's Cate

:09:07.:09:15.

Campbell. The silver has gone to Sarah Sjostrom. What a swim. That

:09:16.:09:21.

was stunning. She did what she did in the relay and used her natural

:09:21.:09:24.

speed to get out. She was a body length ahead of the field. She

:09:24.:09:30.

couldn't hold on for the world-record. So, these are the

:09:30.:09:36.

results. Cate Campbell is the Bob Champion. A great silver for Sarah

:09:36.:09:42.

Champion. A great silver for Sarah Sjostrom. Missy Franklin is for.

:09:42.:09:47.

You have a lovely collection of bronze medals, nice to add that

:09:47.:09:52.

gold? It means so much to me. I really owe this to my friends and

:09:52.:09:59.

family, and coach, who have really stuck by me, and it is then I will

:09:59.:10:03.

be thinking of one I am singing my national anthem. Not everybody

:10:03.:10:08.

realises you been around for a long time. So much experience. You

:10:08.:10:12.

Australia and is now have 100 guys and 100 girls, so you must be very

:10:12.:10:17.

pleased. And they are bringing in mixed relays in the next World

:10:17.:10:20.

Championships, the world had better watch out because the Aussies are on

:10:20.:10:25.

their way! Cate Campbell with a fabulous swim,

:10:25.:10:29.

she blew them away. What's interesting about her is she didn't

:10:29.:10:33.

compete at the Olympic games last year. It is nice to see a new face

:10:33.:10:38.

coming through. She had a fantastic race, she wasn't going to let anyone

:10:38.:10:43.

touch out there. That world-record is under threat if she can keep the

:10:43.:10:49.

last 25 as strong as the first 75. Very much so. When she looks at the

:10:49.:10:55.

way she swam her race, when she gets stronger, works on the speed and

:10:55.:10:59.

insurance, a lot of people were surprised that Missy Franklin didn't

:10:59.:11:04.

come back, but she doesn't have so much speed. The race is too short

:11:04.:11:10.

for her. Cate will take that record, it is a matter of time. It is the

:11:10.:11:15.

men's 200 metres backstroke next. We have representation in the shape of

:11:15.:11:20.

Craig McNally. The real contenders for this, Tyler Clary, fastest

:11:20.:11:24.

qualifier, and the Japanese have two swimmers on whom they are putting a

:11:24.:11:34.
:11:34.:11:48.

he has had a good start. He has had the best start of the whole

:11:48.:11:56.

Championships. Lochte had a good one, too. He has been shaking off

:11:56.:12:01.

the cobwebs a little bit through the heats and semis before this one. We

:12:01.:12:08.

haven't seen the best of him yet on the backstroke. He is a real fighter

:12:08.:12:15.

on the backend. If he is anywhere near the medals position. These

:12:15.:12:23.

Americans are so good at the turns. Look at Lochte. Interesting tactic,

:12:23.:12:27.

this. He normally goes out relatively comfortably, and then

:12:27.:12:33.

works the last turn. We have to see how he does on this one. Watch his

:12:33.:12:39.

underwater phase, utterly brilliant. He's got to come up before the red

:12:39.:12:49.
:12:49.:12:52.

marker. Look at that! McNally is doing very well. McNally's /rate is

:12:52.:12:59.

a lot slower than Lochte. The 21-year-old from Poland is

:12:59.:13:09.
:13:09.:13:12.

challenging Lochte. This is fascinating Kubecki is so good

:13:12.:13:17.

underwater. Poland is looking very good. I bet Lochte didn't expect

:13:18.:13:23.

this! Yes, he's going to have to come back very strong but I think

:13:23.:13:30.

Lochte has got the strength, but the youngster, Kubecki has got a lot of

:13:30.:13:34.

strength. The gold goes to Lochte, successfully defending that title he

:13:34.:13:44.
:13:44.:13:45.

won two eMac years ago -- two years ago, but the bronze goes -- the

:13:45.:13:50.

silver goes to Kubecki. An awesome swim. Craig McNally breaks the

:13:50.:14:00.
:14:00.:14:05.

Scottish record! Ryan Lochte of the USA wins the 200 metres backstroke.

:14:05.:14:07.

USA wins the 200 metres backstroke. We will see a lot more of Craig

:14:07.:14:12.

We will see a Not far off the British record, a

:14:12.:14:22.
:14:22.:14:23.

really exciting talent that you are. Yes, I'm happy with that swim. I

:14:23.:14:27.

couldn't be more happy with that. What have you been doing in the last

:14:27.:14:30.

year? How have you adapted your training to make such a big

:14:30.:14:37.

improvement? I have had such a slightly -- I have had a slightly

:14:37.:14:42.

different approach, focusing on building up my strength, trying to

:14:42.:14:44.

transfer that from the gym into a stronger and more powerful

:14:44.:14:48.

technique. I don't know what it is about breaststroke about these

:14:48.:14:51.

championships but the women can't stop breaking world records.

:14:51.:14:57.

Pedersen broke the 200 metres record in the semifinals by half a second.

:14:57.:15:04.

The year to the day that it was set at the London 2012 Olympics. This

:15:04.:15:14.
:15:14.:15:43.

in the white hat. It looks like they are really going from the start.

:15:43.:15:48.

19-year-old Spanish is going right through her. That will give the

:15:48.:15:58.
:15:58.:15:59.

crowd something to cheer for. Lauren is in third place is a threat for

:15:59.:16:09.
:16:09.:16:15.

the medals. When she broke the world record last night, she is down on

:16:15.:16:25.
:16:25.:16:33.

the first 50. The pink cap is a very dangerous position. Rikke Pedersen

:16:33.:16:43.
:16:43.:16:53.

is leading at the first half. Pedersen is having to do all the

:16:53.:16:58.

work. It is not over, though, because Rikke Pedersen is very

:16:58.:17:07.

strong in the last 50m. I read to know how to call this. A quarter of

:17:07.:17:17.
:17:17.:17:18.

the second splitting them at the moment. Could she steal the gold

:17:18.:17:28.
:17:28.:17:36.

medal? She is giving everything. She is on the world-record pace at the

:17:36.:17:45.

moment. Just outside the world record. She takes the gold! Goodness

:17:45.:17:55.
:17:55.:17:58.

me! Rikke Pedersen takes the silver. I think we called it. It was the

:17:58.:18:08.
:18:08.:18:10.

first 100m, she swam it so well. was purely about the gold medal. She

:18:11.:18:15.

knows exactly what to do and she looks so calm and relaxed. She has a

:18:15.:18:25.
:18:25.:18:30.

lot of experience, even though she lot of experience, even though she

:18:30.:18:36.

is three years younger. world-record but it lived up to

:18:36.:18:43.

their billing, what a race! pasted absolutely perfectly. It was

:18:43.:18:48.

bittersweet because she still has the world-record so even though she

:18:48.:18:52.

didn't get the gold, she still has the record. Coming from yesterday,

:18:52.:18:57.

she must have felt invincible but the boys said in a commentary that

:18:57.:19:03.

they felt she was the most relaxed. Could it be a burden, having raced

:19:03.:19:07.

so well yesterday? I don't think so, just paste it better. She went out

:19:07.:19:13.

so relaxed and had much more to give on the last 50m. You could see the

:19:13.:19:23.
:19:23.:19:27.

gear? It became more of a sprint, the way her legs were. She turned it

:19:27.:19:33.

on and went for a bit of a sprint. They obviously know each other 's

:19:33.:19:43.
:19:43.:19:49.

split. It was a bit of mind games as well. We have saved the best until

:19:49.:19:53.

last. We had such a strong tradition in Great Britain in the breaststroke

:19:53.:19:57.

and it is the men's 200 metres breaststroke final with two Brits

:19:57.:20:02.

are going. Andrew Willis and Michael Jamieson who got silver in London

:20:02.:20:12.
:20:12.:20:28.

Jamieson who got silver in London last year. Best of British, boys!

:20:28.:20:33.

The best start of the whole field, the white cap in lane three is Great

:20:33.:20:43.
:20:43.:20:48.

Britain 's Andrew Willis. He did this in the semifinal last night. He

:20:48.:20:55.

has stepped his stroke up. Great Britain, first and second to turn.

:20:55.:21:05.
:21:05.:21:06.

It would be a great way to finish the final if that could be the end.

:21:06.:21:10.

The Russian in the Black hat also looking very good. This is really

:21:10.:21:20.
:21:20.:21:22.

cat and mouse. Choose between that and not! The two Britons are looking

:21:22.:21:32.
:21:32.:21:36.

good. The Japanese at the bottom of the screen is in third place.

:21:36.:21:38.

right on the world-record pace, they are really going very much very

:21:38.:21:48.
:21:48.:22:01.

quickly. Fantastic swim. A quarter of a second ahead with one length to

:22:01.:22:06.

go and they will all come charging now. Michael Jamieson is still going

:22:06.:22:14.

well. He still has a pretty good stroke on the left-hand side. The

:22:14.:22:17.

main guys are coming through and they are really charging. The

:22:17.:22:27.
:22:27.:22:28.

world-record is currently held by the Japanese swimmer. Oh, just

:22:28.:22:38.
:22:38.:22:43.

outside the record. What a brilliant swimmer! Rid Britain, fourth and

:22:43.:22:51.

fifth. So close. Masterful swimming from him. This guy was in the

:22:51.:22:56.

Olympics in 2004 at the age of 15 and got a silver medal. He swam that

:22:56.:23:06.
:23:06.:23:06.

so well. A new world championship so well. A new world championship

:23:06.:23:14.

record for him. I know that you both tried 100% but a lot of people at

:23:14.:23:18.

home will be saying, why can't we reproduce what happened a few weeks

:23:18.:23:24.

ago? I am not one for excuses but I have done one weeks training at the

:23:24.:23:33.

last 11. I think those times when you're not 100%, your head can throw

:23:33.:23:38.

you around. There are also times when it is just beyond you. My

:23:38.:23:42.

strength is my back end and I just don't have the fitness here. I just

:23:43.:23:46.

feel it has been taken out of my hand a little bit. I have managed as

:23:46.:23:52.

well as I could and I got faster every round but I just don't have

:23:52.:24:01.

the fitness just now. I have missed too much. It is hard to take.

:24:01.:24:08.

compared to the track, what is the plan now is Mike touchwood, this is

:24:08.:24:14.

only my second real injury, I have been very lucky over the years.

:24:14.:24:19.

is just part and parcel of sport, unfortunately. I am not planning on

:24:19.:24:22.

having much of a break of the summer, I need to get back to the

:24:22.:24:25.

gym and get back the strength that I had lost in the last couple of

:24:25.:24:30.

months. There is only one way to do it and get back into it and start

:24:30.:24:37.

again. YouTube be back to training again, 100th separating you? That

:24:37.:24:47.
:24:47.:24:49.

was cutting for me. I would have been very disappointed if I had come

:24:49.:24:56.

last. I was hoping for a medal so it was disappointing. A little bit of

:24:56.:24:59.

light at the end of the tunnel is, after the first round of the

:25:00.:25:06.

trials, we were not sure if he would be here at all? Added scary. That

:25:07.:25:10.

was my year at in smoke at that point. It has been an interesting

:25:10.:25:18.

journey and I am disappointed but I should have been quicker.

:25:18.:25:23.

Two very disappointed British swimmers, there. We are disappointed

:25:23.:25:28.

for them, too. Michael has deliberately not revealed the extent

:25:28.:25:34.

of his injury issues. One week training out of 11 leading up to

:25:34.:25:40.

this explaining the lack of speed? Is always hard getting injuries as a

:25:40.:25:47.

swimmer. He has done well to be here and just go through the heats and

:25:47.:25:51.

the semifinals and the final. I am so glad he didn't pull out and that

:25:51.:25:56.

he stuck with it. He would have gained so much experience and here.

:25:56.:26:02.

Andrew went through such an ordeal to get here so he was unsure that he

:26:02.:26:06.

would even be here. Other them will be disappointed but they will be

:26:06.:26:13.

wanting to get back in for a new start. You get the sense from Andrew

:26:13.:26:19.

that he felt this was his moment, his opportunity and he probably did

:26:19.:26:24.

take more time mentally to get back. The sheer disappointment of

:26:24.:26:30.

missing out is always cruel? Coming eighth in the final in the

:26:30.:26:39.

Olympics, he saw his partner Michael Jamieson getting a silver medal. He

:26:39.:26:44.

knew that Michael was not on former so he thought the bronze or silver

:26:44.:26:46.

would be up for grabs. More disappointing from the fact is that

:26:46.:26:56.
:26:56.:26:59.

from the trials, his time would have been second. My question is, why are

:26:59.:27:09.
:27:09.:27:10.

they resting off for the trials? of the disappointments is no British

:27:10.:27:20.
:27:20.:27:23.

medal. Huge hopes that she will get a huge -- middle of some sort?

:27:23.:27:27.

is flowing across the water really well. High hopes, then she will be

:27:27.:27:32.

on the podium tomorrow night. she feel the pressure that there has

:27:32.:27:35.

been no success this week in terms of medal for Britain and everybody

:27:35.:27:40.

is now looking at her to deliver? Now, I don't think so. She is

:27:40.:27:44.

experienced enough to know that she has to stick to her own race plan.

:27:44.:27:49.

She chose not to do the 100m freestyle in the week and she did

:27:49.:27:56.

make the right decision. Even if she whizzes out on the 15th fly, she has

:27:57.:28:00.

the freestyle to back it up with, hopefully. Somebody who will no

:28:01.:28:10.
:28:11.:28:12.

doubt deliver is Katie Ledecky. She is going for your 800m world record.

:28:12.:28:18.

She has had a fantastic week. I am pretty sure my world-record will go

:28:18.:28:23.

as well. I hope she does because she is just a lovely girl and she

:28:23.:28:26.

obviously works hard. She is in great form and she has got a lot

:28:26.:28:33.
