:00:33. > :00:37.You are nervous at every single race, it's whether you make the
:00:38. > :00:45.switch to becoming champion in the arena. He's got that on the last
:00:46. > :00:50.stroke, the world champion is Adam Peaty. This is utterly brilliant,
:00:51. > :00:55.absolutely fantastic, Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold by an absolute
:00:56. > :01:03.street. A wonderful world record, or might goodness. I have achieved my
:01:04. > :01:09.lifetime goal but I want more. It's going to be a tough road, to keep
:01:10. > :01:12.those medals coming in. Pushing harder and sweating more, there is
:01:13. > :01:17.going to be a lot more pain but I think it's achievable. That is one
:01:18. > :01:23.of my goals, to leave a good legacy back home.
:01:24. > :01:29.That is the man you will see in action first denied here in
:01:30. > :01:35.Budapest, fasten your seat belts because you could be in store for
:01:36. > :01:38.something very special. Adam is the world and Olympic champion,
:01:39. > :01:44.world-record holder and after his semifinals yesterday ahead of his
:01:45. > :01:49.final tonight he seemed confident. Tonights, enjoyed the crowd, enjoy
:01:50. > :01:53.what I'm doing, it's a bit weird now, two years ago I would have been
:01:54. > :01:59.shaking in my boots in this arena but I have matured after Rio and
:02:00. > :02:04.learned so much, this is my home. I love racing year. Tomorrow if the
:02:05. > :02:11.crowd get behind me maybe we can get that special time. That confidence
:02:12. > :02:16.is completely justified because it isn't even about the competition,
:02:17. > :02:22.it's about the time. It is him against the clock tonight. He knows,
:02:23. > :02:26.unless something, he falls off the block something and I know you want!
:02:27. > :02:29.But he knows he has it in the bag, he has the gold medal and he is so
:02:30. > :02:33.competitive that he will want to break his own world record. To him
:02:34. > :02:38.it's just his personal best that he wants to break. In the semifinals we
:02:39. > :02:44.saw there was not even anybody close to him. No, it's going to be him out
:02:45. > :02:47.on his own at the front trying to break the world record, I don't
:02:48. > :02:51.think he will do it tonight but the bottom line is the world record is
:02:52. > :02:54.his best time and every time he stands on the block, all of us from
:02:55. > :03:03.the age of ten until you retire you can go faster. I think at the moment
:03:04. > :03:11.back to form, only just off his best time and look truly good in the
:03:12. > :03:21.semifinal. Could Ross be on the scrap for third? I think so, I think
:03:22. > :03:28.the American, he will probably take a head start because he has an
:03:29. > :03:34.amazing start, but he will become second, and Ross will come third. I
:03:35. > :03:39.think Ross is in a shout for third. For some people you could take some
:03:40. > :03:43.of Adam's confidence as arrogance, it's a fine line but not with Adam
:03:44. > :03:48.Peaty because he's confident but he's also very humble and talks
:03:49. > :03:53.about leaving a legacy. He is an endearing character away from the
:03:54. > :03:59.pool. Such a great role model, what's he's done for the sport is
:04:00. > :04:05.huge. I think he has converted those who don't like swimming into liking
:04:06. > :04:12.swimming just by watching him race. He is the showman, he loves it. And
:04:13. > :04:18.tonight Cameron Van der Burgh is not in it so it will be an interesting
:04:19. > :04:23.race. The big cheer for the world-record holder, the world
:04:24. > :04:29.champion and Olympic champion. Let's hand you to the commentators.
:04:30. > :04:42.COMMENTATOR: Adam Peaty in Len four, the European champion, world
:04:43. > :04:50.champion, world-record holder, surrounded by Americans, Ross
:04:51. > :04:58.Murdoch of Great Britain in lane one. This will be interesting,
:04:59. > :05:04.interesting tactics, how does he approach it? The only way Adam Peaty
:05:05. > :05:09.knows how, he's going to take it to them, go out hard on the first 50
:05:10. > :05:15.and try to bring it back but there is two races here, it's Adam Peaty
:05:16. > :05:16.versus the 57 Bali and the rest of the guys fighting for the minor
:05:17. > :05:35.medals. -- the 57 barrier. Good clean start, decent start from
:05:36. > :05:49.Adam Peaty, the defending world champion. He set the world-record
:05:50. > :05:57.26.6 nine. The race has gone already, look at Adam Peaty, already
:05:58. > :06:03.a class above and he's out 26.5, just off the individual world-record
:06:04. > :06:06.but under the 100 metre. But he's not lost Cordes at this stage, it
:06:07. > :06:13.could be about winning the gold and the world-record. He's starting to
:06:14. > :06:18.power, look at him go away from the rest of, this is the greatest field
:06:19. > :06:23.in the world, clear water between Adam Peaty and the rest of the
:06:24. > :06:32.world, the world-record 57.1 three. Just outside but the margin of
:06:33. > :06:41.victory was phenomenal. Adam Peaty is destroying the best in the world,
:06:42. > :06:45.obliterated them. To win a 100 metre breaststroke by well over a second,
:06:46. > :06:48.we have not heard about until he did at last year at the Olympics and
:06:49. > :06:56.he's broken the championship record again. This guy already owns the top
:06:57. > :07:05.ten times in the 100 metre breaststroke ever done and he's gone
:07:06. > :07:08.57.4 again, different class. He was totally focused going into the race,
:07:09. > :07:15.had a little bit taken note of him on the start but once he got off he
:07:16. > :07:19.got on top of the guys. The first 50 as well, almost broke the
:07:20. > :07:24.world-record for the 50 metres on his way out of the 100. Is there
:07:25. > :07:28.nothing this guy can do? He is a beast. Bit of a dodgy finish, don't
:07:29. > :07:34.think you'll be too happy with that but there is room for him to
:07:35. > :07:39.improve. You can tell him! The second fastest 100 metre
:07:40. > :07:44.breaststroke in history and Adam Peaty setting a new championship
:07:45. > :07:50.record to win gold for Great Britain. What a fabulous swim it
:07:51. > :07:54.was. Maybe a bit too quick then the first 50? I thought he was starting
:07:55. > :08:01.to snatch when he came out of the turn but the strongest part of his
:08:02. > :08:06.race has been 60-100 metres. He looks like a wrestler, so athletic.
:08:07. > :08:09.It's one of the most athletic events you can do. He is on a different
:08:10. > :08:47.planet. Look at those guns. We talked about him chasing his own
:08:48. > :08:52.world record, just outside it, it's almost like we are a bit
:08:53. > :08:57.disappointed. Which is crazy because he did amazing! It is a shame for
:08:58. > :09:04.Ross to finish eighth as well. He wanted to break the 59 barrier but
:09:05. > :09:08.he will be back later on. The 200 is his event. Adam was on his own, I
:09:09. > :09:13.almost want someone to challenge him. Would you agree with the
:09:14. > :09:17.commentators about his start, maybe could do with a bit of work and
:09:18. > :09:23.maybe a dodgy finish for him? Bearing in mind he is still the
:09:24. > :09:30.champion, but are a lot of things to work on? Of course any swimmer would
:09:31. > :09:35.tell you that, even when you break records you get out and think you
:09:36. > :09:38.can go faster. Little things you can improve on. The start has been the
:09:39. > :09:45.weakest part of his race then he goes past people and keeps going.
:09:46. > :09:50.Let's hear from Adam Peaty with Sharon. Congratulations, you just
:09:51. > :09:57.asked me what time you went out in, 26.5 which is very quick. We have
:09:58. > :10:00.done a lot of speed work, a couple of months after Rio, I thought it
:10:01. > :10:07.would be hard to get back but I am happy to come here and attack my
:10:08. > :10:14.title. Year after year. I was a bit longer to the wall but I am happy.
:10:15. > :10:20.Was at the pace you planned to go out or did the excitement get to
:10:21. > :10:26.you? I felt like a little boy. But world records are world records for
:10:27. > :10:30.a reason. The performance at the Olympics was completely different to
:10:31. > :10:37.that one. I was on target for it but just missed out, but we'll see what
:10:38. > :10:41.get tomorrow. You have the top ten fastest times in the world in the
:10:42. > :10:46.100 metres breaststroke which is insane. You're an amazing role
:10:47. > :10:50.model, are you aware that pressure? Not really but I got a massive cheer
:10:51. > :10:56.when I came out and that means something. Most of this crowded
:10:57. > :11:00.Hungarians would means I have got a lot of support. I'm trying to give
:11:01. > :11:05.it back home, get the young ones racing and teach them to have no
:11:06. > :11:11.fear. You are our British Lion, your tattoo is very important, tell us
:11:12. > :11:15.about it? I wanted something to be proud of after Rio, to remember how
:11:16. > :11:19.I got there, I came from the bottom and got all the way to the top with
:11:20. > :11:23.hard work and dedication and the unique relationship between myself
:11:24. > :11:27.and Mell, if you are a kid watching this now, you can be at the Olympic
:11:28. > :11:36.in four years, eight years' time, don't let anything stop you.
:11:37. > :11:44.The language he uses is so brilliant, for the fans and
:11:45. > :11:48.superstars coming through, attacking his title, dedication and
:11:49. > :11:53.commitment, he is exciting all around. And that is something he and
:11:54. > :11:55.Mell both work on, they are a great partnership together and I don't
:11:56. > :12:01.think he would have achieved it without Mell, such a brilliant team.
:12:02. > :12:05.From a British superstar to a Swedish one. Let's go through the
:12:06. > :12:22.women's 100 metre fly final. COMMENTATOR: In the final of the
:12:23. > :12:33.women's 100 metre butterfly and the defending champion is on fire
:12:34. > :12:39.already. We saw Sjostrom last night lead of the Swedish relay and it was
:12:40. > :12:43.something to behold. It was breathtaking, what we saw was this
:12:44. > :12:50.young lady going faster than mark Spitz did in his Olympics, she is
:12:51. > :12:53.swimming as fast as the men have in previous Olympics, it's insane. She
:12:54. > :13:02.could well transfer that 100 metre freestyle 's speed into this, will
:13:03. > :13:06.she break the world record? We are about to find out. The Olympics of
:13:07. > :13:23.mass silver medallist in two. We were talking to one of her
:13:24. > :13:27.coaches earlier and it doesn't necessarily mean you are going so
:13:28. > :13:33.fast that it converts into butterfly but the first 25 metres of this
:13:34. > :13:38.final of the women's 100 metres has been very good for Sjostrom. She is
:13:39. > :13:44.so strong, the strength and power is great and her timing is first class
:13:45. > :13:48.as well. She has the experience, she's been winning medals at world
:13:49. > :13:58.level since she was 15, three tenths of a second under. She does not slow
:13:59. > :14:04.down, I think this could be a world-record right here. Two in two
:14:05. > :14:10.days for Sjostrom. It could be but one line-up has not been dropped
:14:11. > :14:20.yet, but is now, when so fast in that first 50, the world-record...
:14:21. > :14:26.Just outside the world-record. But it is gold again, successfully
:14:27. > :14:30.defending the championship she won two years ago, Sjostrom gets the
:14:31. > :14:39.gold medal. Great silver medal for Australia. And bronze to the USA. I
:14:40. > :14:46.cannot believe Australia have got silver, she is a 200 freestyle by
:14:47. > :14:51.rights but she's been dropping time all year but let's take a moment on
:14:52. > :14:56.Sjostrom. The finish was poor, she could have had the world-record
:14:57. > :15:01.without the finish, I think a coach will be kicking herself, you have to
:15:02. > :15:05.get the skills right. But like Adam Peaty she's so far ahead of the rest
:15:06. > :15:11.of the world, it has to be nice to turn up and now you will get the
:15:12. > :15:16.gold medal and go again. Look at the power on her shoulders. Does not
:15:17. > :15:19.just power it, she's got great technique as well. First-class
:15:20. > :15:23.technician and if you have that in swimming it really is a strong
:15:24. > :15:29.advantage over the rest of the field. Look at this finish, a bit
:15:30. > :15:34.dirty. She is smiling, world champion, I think that is she was
:15:35. > :15:39.going for, she went out very quickly, broke the world-record in
:15:40. > :15:47.the 100 metres freestyle. Destroyed at last night, 51.71. Goodness
:15:48. > :15:55.gracious me. She is now a world champion again on the 100 metres
:15:56. > :16:00.fly. Sjostrom is a confident swimmer and with the first two days a
:16:01. > :16:04.world-record in the 100 metres free and now the championship title in
:16:05. > :16:15.the 100 metres fly, and there she is with the silver medallist. From Rio
:16:16. > :16:21.in the 100 fly. Coming fourth in that race. By quite a way. The
:16:22. > :16:27.margin of victory, almost three quarters of a stroke.
:16:28. > :16:35.The breathing, there is loads of stuff she could do better. It is
:16:36. > :16:37.almost as if you're going to write what not to do for the group, she
:16:38. > :16:47.has done a lot of them there. Another gold for Sarah Sjostrom of
:16:48. > :16:53.Sweden. Just outside her world record. But she takes the gold.
:16:54. > :17:06.A Championship record and Commonwealth record in there. From
:17:07. > :17:10.Emma? Exactly. Sarah was in great form in the relay, she got the world
:17:11. > :17:13.record. A different stroke. If you come out and you are in good form,
:17:14. > :17:19.how much confidence does it give you for the rest of the events? You know
:17:20. > :17:22.you are on form. When you come to a competition, through the air you go
:17:23. > :17:25.through low points in hard training, then you come in and you have the
:17:26. > :17:33.question in your head, can I do it again, will I be on form? Will I be
:17:34. > :17:38.on form at 6.10 on the evening. But she doesn't have a low point, she is
:17:39. > :17:41.great all year. We have talked about the Changing of the Guard, Michael
:17:42. > :17:45.Phelps is gone. A real opportunity for some girl power to display
:17:46. > :17:56.itself. We got that, you have got people like Sarah, you have Saudi
:17:57. > :17:59.people that are cleaning up. We knew that Sarah was going to win. It was
:18:00. > :18:05.whether she was going to get the world record. She has the top ten
:18:06. > :18:08.times in history, like Adam has. That is her fourth world title in
:18:09. > :18:12.that event. There are so many amazing results coming from Sarah.
:18:13. > :18:17.The next event is the semifinals of the 100 metre backstroke. Normally
:18:18. > :18:22.we would see Chris Walker in this, we thought he was going to do it,
:18:23. > :18:30.but he isn't. I don't know, he's got the relays and the mixed medley
:18:31. > :18:35.coming up. On paper, he would have the third fastest time in the world
:18:36. > :18:40.this year. He had a long year last year, like everybody else. I don't
:18:41. > :18:46.know. He is here. Is he sick? Bill Furniss said that he had a cold.
:18:47. > :18:49.Obviously he's wanting to rest. He was on the entry list, but not the
:18:50. > :18:51.start list. We have been told he has had a cold. You're going to rest him
:18:52. > :18:59.for the relays. Is that a red flag? I have a chest
:19:00. > :19:04.infection before Beijing and came out with two gold medals! It's one
:19:05. > :19:09.of these weird situations. You train all year, the major meeting comes
:19:10. > :19:14.up, it's the high point. However you are, especially with a cold... But
:19:15. > :19:19.you do need to rest, the relay have a massive opportunity to get the
:19:20. > :19:23.huddle. He has to arrested he is ill. We might see later in the week.
:19:24. > :19:28.Let's see what happens in the 100 metre breaststroke.
:19:29. > :19:39.A fascinating first semifinal. This is the backstroke. You have the
:19:40. > :19:40.Olympic champion from 2012 in London, Ryan Murphy, the Rio Olympic
:19:41. > :19:50.champion, in five. So, two Olympic champions in four
:19:51. > :19:54.and five. Matt Grevers, delighted to see him back in the mix. But Ryan
:19:55. > :20:01.Murphy, an interesting year he has had? Last year, he was a lecturer in
:20:02. > :20:06.Rio. He blasted off to a world record in the medley. -- he was
:20:07. > :20:10.electric. It often happens when you win the gold medals, there are other
:20:11. > :20:14.things to do. He's going to have to watch out for this fellow, Matt
:20:15. > :20:18.Grevers, six foot six, a beast. The poor guy missed out and didn't
:20:19. > :20:22.qualify for America as the reigning Olympic champion for Rio and he had
:20:23. > :20:25.to sit at home and watch them do their stuff. I think that has really
:20:26. > :20:35.motivated him. He really does look ready to go. These Olympic
:20:36. > :20:38.champions, past and present, the Americans in the middle, that is
:20:39. > :20:40.where the battle is gone to be. Various Grevers, went to the
:20:41. > :20:45.University of Arizona. And there is the current Olympic champion, Ryan
:20:46. > :20:52.Murphy. He had a very good American college season. He won the
:20:53. > :21:00.Championship, and that is not easy to do. It is a really quick heat.
:21:01. > :21:03.That's true, but the thing is, you can spend half your time on the
:21:04. > :21:07.water, you are half submarine. There is only a little bit of swimming on
:21:08. > :21:18.the top. This is where the real action is. Long-haul swimming. Lane
:21:19. > :21:20.seven, his foot rest, they have little footrests that they can
:21:21. > :21:27.dangle off the box. His has gone badly wrong. I would imagine there
:21:28. > :21:33.is going to be a little bit of a pause. You can see the guy in the
:21:34. > :21:41.white hat. He has just pulled his footrest and it has unravelled. Do
:21:42. > :21:51.you think there is an opportunity for the Pole to play silly games and
:21:52. > :21:55.put them off? Well, the only problem is that his nerves are going to be
:21:56. > :21:59.going 100 miles an hour. The technical guy looking at this, he
:22:00. > :22:07.has taken the footrest away. He has walked quite slowly across the pool.
:22:08. > :22:10.He is getting a spare one and is now walking quite slowly... You can't
:22:11. > :22:14.quite see him, the white shirt on the left. You can't quite see him.
:22:15. > :22:21.Walking quite nice and slowly back. The fastest men in the backstroke in
:22:22. > :22:24.the world are in the pool waiting. Come on, mate! It's like he's gone
:22:25. > :22:32.for the paper on Sunday morning! Come on, fella. How are your nerves
:22:33. > :22:40.in Lane seven, Polewka, is he happy that he is making everybody wait?
:22:41. > :22:41.So, the first semifinal of the 100 metres backstroke. Some drama in
:22:42. > :22:58.Lane seven. Very quick reaction. The current
:22:59. > :23:01.Olympic champion, Murphy, in Lane five. There is nobody better in the
:23:02. > :23:05.world than the Americans, showing how it should be done. What they
:23:06. > :23:09.want to be doing in the first 50 is building speed. On the second 50,
:23:10. > :23:15.that is where they have to maintain it. Ryan Murphy has had a shocking
:23:16. > :23:21.season all year. But the champion is showing his medal. He is leading at
:23:22. > :23:25.the half way stage. This could be where Matt Grevers tries to get over
:23:26. > :23:29.the top of Murphy. Murphy looks a little bit low in the water. He is
:23:30. > :23:40.working well. Spinning a little better. Grevers is starting to come
:23:41. > :23:47.back. Very even. Two one hundredths of a second splitting them. They are
:23:48. > :23:52.the only two swimmers underneath 53 seconds. Actually, winning it by
:23:53. > :23:59.nearly three quarters of a second. Not as fast as I expected. Certainly
:24:00. > :24:04.the third, fourth, fifth, sixth positions, pretty slow. I don't
:24:05. > :24:12.think that is going to scare the people going in the second heat,
:24:13. > :24:15.particularly Xu. But the Americans have more in the tank. They have the
:24:16. > :24:22.experience of being Olympic champions. I think the Chinese are
:24:23. > :24:26.going to be all over it. The second semifinal, watching that first one,
:24:27. > :24:30.you've got to think you got a cracking chance of making the final.
:24:31. > :24:35.It is all on times. Yesterday, we saw six from one of the semifinals
:24:36. > :24:38.may get and only two from the other. Two Olympic champions representing
:24:39. > :24:44.the USA. Murphy wins the first semifinal of the men's 100 metres
:24:45. > :24:46.backstroke. Just behind him, Grevers. The rest of them, quite a
:24:47. > :24:55.long way behind. The second semifinal coming up. If
:24:56. > :24:59.you are Mitch Larkin, are you looking at it closely or just
:25:00. > :25:04.thinking about your own race? Personally, I don't know, I would.
:25:05. > :25:07.As those guys have just said, that one was a little bit slower than
:25:08. > :25:11.expected. You kind of know what Reading room you have got, where you
:25:12. > :25:16.have to come and how much pressure you have to put yourself.
:25:17. > :25:22.Beforehand, before you come out to poolside, there is a TV. You are not
:25:23. > :25:27.watching EastEnders! You use to talk about not wanting to look at what is
:25:28. > :25:33.going on? I just used to talk to people. Then you come out here,
:25:34. > :25:35.where you get nervous, I got chatty. If I chatted to people and they have
:25:36. > :25:41.their head down, they didn't like it. So I would go, what is happening
:25:42. > :25:45.with the weather in Hungary right now? Not that casual, obviously.
:25:46. > :25:52.They would watch the heat before, and it's not very fast. Senedd Mitch
:25:53. > :26:01.Larkin would have been pleased, it wasn't that quick. And Xu from
:26:02. > :26:04.China, the fastest time this year, he will be watching as well. Stop
:26:05. > :26:21.it, you, Miss chief! Mitch Larkin, the defending world
:26:22. > :26:26.champion goes in lane six. Xu of China just missed the world record
:26:27. > :26:45.by 100th of a second. Xu China, we watched his heat this
:26:46. > :26:53.morning. If you wanted to watch a perfect backstroke, this guy looks
:26:54. > :26:59.wonderful. He has excellent rotation in the water. Any kid that want to
:27:00. > :27:02.see a great backstroke, this fellow can really teach you. He has great
:27:03. > :27:05.rotation, gives great catch under the water. It's very different from
:27:06. > :27:09.the Americans we have seen. The Americans are flatter in the water.
:27:10. > :27:13.They really powered their way around the pool. I love watching these
:27:14. > :27:19.guys. And Irie, next to him, they have the most beautiful strokes. It
:27:20. > :27:24.may look like it has finesse, but they are absolutely so efficient in
:27:25. > :27:29.the water. Earlier this year, in April, he was only just outside of
:27:30. > :27:34.Ryan Murphy's world records. I think the world record is under threat. It
:27:35. > :27:38.feels like it is moving on again. Watch out for the world record in
:27:39. > :27:43.the semifinal, they are often broken in the semifinals when the pressure
:27:44. > :27:49.is a little bit less. This semifinal of the backstroke, the first one was
:27:50. > :27:56.not particularly fast. All of these guys have to believe they can make
:27:57. > :28:09.the final. Larkin insects, for Australia. -- in lane six. Xu of
:28:10. > :28:15.China in four, Irie of Japan in three. What a fantastic start by
:28:16. > :28:20.Katrina. Stop the race now, he has won by a mile. Absolutely fantastic.
:28:21. > :28:25.He might not end up winning by that margin, but he is putting out a
:28:26. > :28:28.clear statement of intent. 51.85 is the world record and he looks to be
:28:29. > :28:36.on it at the moment. He is under it by a tenth of a second. He needs a
:28:37. > :28:40.good wall work. It is so beautiful. Still head position, great rotation
:28:41. > :28:44.around his body. This is the most efficient backstroke you will ever
:28:45. > :28:48.see. Absolutely beautiful. The nest of the field may be coming back at
:28:49. > :29:00.him. Doesn't look like he is working as hard over the water, but he is so
:29:01. > :29:04.efficient. The world record is 58 -- 51.85. Larkin is only forth but he
:29:05. > :29:09.will make it through to the final, the first semifinal was not
:29:10. > :29:13.particularly quick. Well, there is Tarasevich. He thinks he has made
:29:14. > :29:19.the final, and I think he has. What a beautiful stroke. The attack down
:29:20. > :29:22.the first 50, I wonder if he is practising for the final. I think
:29:23. > :29:25.you have got that absolutely right. He has one of the best starts we
:29:26. > :29:31.have seen on the backstroke all week. I think he went to 60 metres,
:29:32. > :29:36.he got to the wall and did a fantastic turn. He then started to
:29:37. > :29:40.shut it down. He allowed the rest of the field to come back to him. Why
:29:41. > :29:44.would he show his hand tonight? He can get out there tomorrow night,
:29:45. > :29:50.I'm very confident he can win the gold medal. The question is, will he
:29:51. > :29:56.break the world record? It is a beautiful stroke, isn't it? Xu of
:29:57. > :30:02.China, winning the second semifinal. Irie was second. Tarasevich was
:30:03. > :30:10.third. Larkin down in fourth, a little bit of a surprise for me. I
:30:11. > :30:17.learned's Shane Ryan -- Ireland's Shane Ryan may be a little bit
:30:18. > :30:22.unlucky. A little slower than expected, but Xu was the fastest. He
:30:23. > :30:24.is going to have two Americans alongside him. What a final that is
:30:25. > :30:37.going to be tomorrow night. Had Chris Walker-Hebborn been in
:30:38. > :30:42.that how would he had feared? -- I would he have got on? He has always
:30:43. > :30:48.pulled out of the bag for the relay, I would love to see him get back to
:30:49. > :30:53.his best, he just needs a bit more confidence, to believe in himself
:30:54. > :30:59.and I think, I think he is more than capable of getting into that final.
:31:00. > :31:04.2014 he won the Commonwealth Games and Europeans back to back, he was
:31:05. > :31:09.on form and improving. But you have to be at your best at the right time
:31:10. > :31:14.and he just having an off year. Does that make you excited or nervous for
:31:15. > :31:18.the relay? Very excited because I think it will be between us the
:31:19. > :31:27.Americans and the Chinese and the Americans are not looking quite. --
:31:28. > :31:30.not looking quick. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor has pulled out to
:31:31. > :31:58.concentrate on the 200 metres IAM. COMMENTATOR: This is going to be a
:31:59. > :32:03.quick semifinal. Five of the fastest eight in the world this year in this
:32:04. > :32:18.semifinal. Efimova is number one so far. Meli is third. Tactics for
:32:19. > :32:27.Efimova, she swims in a very strange way. She's been a world champion
:32:28. > :32:33.over 200 metres, the world-record holder, we know she's got a strong
:32:34. > :32:42.back end, lots of stamina but to me she might as well start in the
:32:43. > :32:47.water, is absolutely atrocious at diving and I cannot believe her
:32:48. > :32:51.coach has not sorted that out. In her heat this morning she was last
:32:52. > :33:05.at the 50 but then came through like a freight train. This is almost
:33:06. > :33:10.speed versus stamina. It's going to be a very interesting final tomorrow
:33:11. > :33:17.night. USA versus Russia, some mean word said between them at the
:33:18. > :33:30.Olympic Games in Rio. Efimova in four, back after two drugs bans.
:33:31. > :33:39.The defending world champion Efimova of Russia in lane four. How much has
:33:40. > :33:45.she lost the race in that pink hat? Almost half a metre down, I cannot
:33:46. > :33:51.believe they don't work on it. It's so long and efficient, this is where
:33:52. > :33:55.Efimova starts to get into the race. Skimming over the water. It is
:33:56. > :34:00.Meili, the Olympic bronze medallist who is taking it out but just watch
:34:01. > :34:06.Efimova turn on the afterburners and really start to bring it home. This
:34:07. > :34:15.is the real key to her race. Efimova has been out to Arizona to work on
:34:16. > :34:20.catapult starting. Now she's starting to wind it up, brilliant
:34:21. > :34:27.200 metres breast wrote as well as the 100, Efimova in the pink, this
:34:28. > :34:36.is pretty frightening for the rest of the world, let's keep an eye on
:34:37. > :34:40.the world-record. One 100th of a second outside the world-record and
:34:41. > :34:49.she turned half a second behind it. Goodness gracious me. What a
:34:50. > :34:54.marvellous second 50 metres. She is going out 30.6, it's not fast at all
:34:55. > :35:00.when you are talking about threatening the world-record but
:35:01. > :35:07.she's coming home ends 33 seconds. That's just an of in women's
:35:08. > :35:13.swimming. Exceedingly fast. Not only is she powerful she is graceful, she
:35:14. > :35:21.has got great technique. She is like a dolphin. It is amazing, the pink
:35:22. > :35:26.suit in the centre, watching her 200 will be completely different, the
:35:27. > :35:34.longest, most efficient stroke you can imagine. But look at that. I
:35:35. > :35:42.tell you what, if I was Lily King I would be quaking in my boots because
:35:43. > :35:44.that is exceedingly fast. One 100th of a second outside the
:35:45. > :36:07.world-record, did not expect that. One of the more controversial stars
:36:08. > :36:11.of the sport, missing out on the world-record by one 100th of a
:36:12. > :36:15.second, interesting to see you guys reaction after she has been swimming
:36:16. > :36:22.because she has failed drugs test in the past, when she does something
:36:23. > :36:25.like that... I am glad she did not break it! Let's move on, semifinal
:36:26. > :36:41.number two. We kind of claim route Adam Peaty has just done his thing,
:36:42. > :36:48.will she adopt some of that winning mentality? I think so, she sees him
:36:49. > :36:54.on form and extremely confident and that can be infectious, being around
:36:55. > :36:58.somebody like that. If you hang around the best in the world, I am
:36:59. > :36:59.not saying she is the best in the world yet but it does rub off a
:37:00. > :37:12.little bit. See Vasey looking to get herself a place
:37:13. > :37:23.in the final. Over to our commentators.
:37:24. > :37:34.The Lithuanian champion, trained down in Plymouth for a long time,
:37:35. > :37:46.she has actually gone back to the Winnie to train, she looks in great
:37:47. > :37:51.shape. -- back to Lithuania. She has to get faster through the rounds.
:37:52. > :37:55.There is the Olympic champion King, I wonder if she had been watching
:37:56. > :38:05.that TV in the ready room, what is she thinking to herself? If I saw
:38:06. > :38:07.people going really really strongly you know you have to pull it out of
:38:08. > :38:26.the bag. King actually beat Efimova by over
:38:27. > :38:34.half a second in the Olympic final. See Lavezzi of Great Britain in
:38:35. > :38:41.seven. -- Vasey of Great Britain in seven. She is a massive talent, in
:38:42. > :38:44.the semifinal of the World Championships and has a chance of
:38:45. > :39:00.making the final in her debut appearance.
:39:01. > :39:10.Second semifinal, women's 100 metre breaststroke, Olympic champion from
:39:11. > :39:22.2016 King in lane for, Olympic champion 2012 Meiluttyte in lane
:39:23. > :39:31.five. Very nearly saw a world record in the first semifinal. 64.3 six.
:39:32. > :39:37.The world-record is held by Meilutyte, 64 .35, don't think they
:39:38. > :39:47.will go that quick but we thought that in the first semifinal. Lily
:39:48. > :39:59.King has never been shy of getting paw criticising Efimova. She is
:40:00. > :40:03.under world-record time, but Meilutyte says no, trying to get
:40:04. > :40:09.right back on the shoulders of King, what a race this is. It's all me a
:40:10. > :40:13.semifinal, in theory all you have to do is make the final and it's a
:40:14. > :40:18.great head-to-head, and keep an eye out on Vasey in lane seven, going
:40:19. > :40:20.very well indeed, if she can get the touch that would be great, just off
:40:21. > :40:38.world-record place Vasey 66.8 and I think she might
:40:39. > :40:44.make the final, we will have to check but it looks very good indeed,
:40:45. > :40:48.great swimming. Cannot ask any more than that from Vasey, we will have
:40:49. > :40:53.to wait until the clock revolves to see if she's in but a word on King,
:40:54. > :40:56.they are putting the world-record under threat and this is the best of
:40:57. > :41:05.the e-mails are breaststroke swimming we have seen for years.
:41:06. > :41:12.What a race we've got in store tomorrow night. Very quick indeed,
:41:13. > :41:25.the turning from Meilutyte was excellent. Lily King as expected,
:41:26. > :41:30.the Olympic champion from Rio, a little bit nonplussed, just misses
:41:31. > :41:39.the world-record and makes the semifinal second fastest. Did Vasey
:41:40. > :41:41.make the final? It's going to be tight but I think she might well
:41:42. > :42:05.have done. She has done, excellent! Sarah Vasey has made the final and
:42:06. > :42:10.you cannot ask any more, her first World Championships, we can hear
:42:11. > :42:15.from her now with Sharon. Many congratulations, you must be
:42:16. > :42:20.pleased. Over the moon, just off my best time and I am pleased to make
:42:21. > :42:26.the final. You must be inspired when you see Adam swimming well before
:42:27. > :42:31.you? Absolutely, the atmosphere is amazing, I was getting so nervous
:42:32. > :42:34.but it's so motivating as well. You have been swimming international for
:42:35. > :42:40.a while but not that this sort of level, it's a great opportunity to
:42:41. > :42:45.make your mark. Absolutely, I just said I would take the trend as it
:42:46. > :42:48.comes and enjoy it, I was happy to make this MA and going into it I had
:42:49. > :42:56.nothing to lose so I went for it and I'm glad I did. We'll see you
:42:57. > :43:00.tomorrow then. Thank you very much! Not just making your mark, we were
:43:01. > :43:04.talking yesterday about how it's important for all the swimmers to
:43:05. > :43:10.learn the process, get comfortable and eradicate the nerves she talked
:43:11. > :43:14.about. It's a stepping stone before the Olympics in Tokyo and what a
:43:15. > :43:19.great debut! What a great debut and what a great night as she can watch
:43:20. > :43:21.her team-mate Adam Peaty collect his medal, the medal ceremony of the
:43:22. > :43:34.men's 100 metre breaststroke. COMMENTATOR: What a fantastic couple
:43:35. > :43:43.of years he has had, Adam Peaty of Great Britain absolutely destroyed
:43:44. > :43:51.the best breaststroke is in the world, 2014, 2015, 2016, just
:43:52. > :43:57.winning the World Championship title again. He does not like the word
:43:58. > :44:06.defend. He talks about attacking all the time and that's the mentality he
:44:07. > :44:11.and his coach Nell Marshall seemed to have. The guide is not lose, he
:44:12. > :44:18.does not know how to lose. It's been three years since he lost an
:44:19. > :44:27.individual race. What a great guy to have in your team.
:44:28. > :44:32.The smile on the face of the Russian picking up the bronze medal quite
:44:33. > :44:35.clear because he qualified eighth fastest for the final. Brilliant
:44:36. > :44:48.swimming from him. The civil the American went very quick then
:44:49. > :44:57.the first 50 and I think he paid a little bit for that speed. 58.7, he
:44:58. > :45:05.went 50.6 in the semi. It was all about Adam Peaty. The margin of
:45:06. > :45:14.victory, Clearwater on a sprint, how can that happen? To win the race by
:45:15. > :45:18.almost 1.4 seconds is unheard of but he's doing it over and over again
:45:19. > :45:21.and it's hard to believe he is threatening 56 seconds, the rest of
:45:22. > :45:30.the world cannot even get under 58.5. He now has the top ten times
:45:31. > :45:38.in history in the men's 100 metre breaststroke, once again the world
:45:39. > :45:44.champion. A new championship record, 57.47, the second fastest time in
:45:45. > :45:48.history, only beaten by the time he got the world-record and the gold
:45:49. > :45:53.medal in Rio last year. World champion 2017 Adam Peaty of Great
:45:54. > :46:05.Britain. Phenomenal. Very proud people in the crowd as
:46:06. > :46:55.well. He said there would be no defence,
:46:56. > :47:01.it would only the attack. Great Britain's Adam Peaty wins gold again
:47:02. > :47:07.in the hundred metre breaststroke at the World Championships. Olympic
:47:08. > :47:07.champion, European champion, Commonwealth champion. Brilliant
:47:08. > :47:25.swimming. What can Ben do to make us feel
:47:26. > :47:34.proud? He goes in the 50 metre fly final. And James Guy is on course to
:47:35. > :47:38.defend his title in the semifinals. She is an Olympic silver medallist,
:47:39. > :47:46.tonight we will see Siobhan-Marie O'Connor battle the huge home
:47:47. > :47:51.favourite in the 200 IM. We have seen one Briton on the podium
:47:52. > :47:52.already, and there are more chances for medals including this young man,
:47:53. > :48:01.Mr Ben Proud. I worked four years to get a
:48:02. > :48:05.fraction of a second off my time. In terms of confidence, it's been a
:48:06. > :48:09.massive change. Thinking back to Barcelona, it seems like a different
:48:10. > :48:12.world. I feel so much better going into Budapest knowing that I've got
:48:13. > :48:16.so much experience under my belt. I feel good, and I feel like the last
:48:17. > :48:24.four years have been the perfect setup. Realistically, there are
:48:25. > :48:27.probably eight guys that can do a time that will win the World
:48:28. > :48:31.Championships. The only thing I can do is try to get that time, and
:48:32. > :48:36.control myself in the final. If I can do that, the medals will come.
:48:37. > :48:39.After his semifinal, he was very honest, he said there are things
:48:40. > :48:42.that I could have done better. That seemed to give him a lot of
:48:43. > :48:46.confidence. He was sure he could correct those. What does he need to
:48:47. > :48:51.do to get himself on the podium, other than swim fastest? Get
:48:52. > :48:54.everything right. Over such a short distance, short space of time, you
:48:55. > :49:00.have to get every element as right as it can be. You notice in the
:49:01. > :49:06.semifinals that he had a good chunk taken of him at the start. I know
:49:07. > :49:12.who was slightly disappointed with the start. On the finish, he needs
:49:13. > :49:17.to nail the finish as well. The start of the semifinal, we didn't
:49:18. > :49:24.see all of it. He was in lane five, Dressel was in lane four. It was
:49:25. > :49:27.just the transition from the block, the spring you get, entering in the
:49:28. > :49:33.mostly my position possible and then they do about nine kicks below the
:49:34. > :49:38.surface. Lets give him the credit he deserves, Dressel must be shaken by
:49:39. > :49:45.Ben. In the training pool he has been trying to distract him? I was
:49:46. > :49:49.talking to his coach James Gibson. Apparently Dressel came up and was
:49:50. > :49:54.looking for Ben for 15 minutes and came up and said, have you seen
:49:55. > :49:58.John? A random thing to ask. He was obviously trying to wind him up and
:49:59. > :50:04.let him know he was there. I think he is still looking for John! I
:50:05. > :50:10.think John is probably looking for the archive. The last person to win
:50:11. > :50:14.in this event was you. We wanted to play at and embarrass you, but we
:50:15. > :50:18.can't find it, it is so far down in a basement! It would be in black and
:50:19. > :50:30.white! Lets see what Ben Proud can do.
:50:31. > :50:39.Olympic champion Joseph Schooling in lane 2. Ben Proud of Great Britain
:50:40. > :50:47.in sixth. Dressel of the USA is the big favourite for me. He goes in
:50:48. > :50:52.four. The lane assignments in the final of the 50 metres butterfly,
:50:53. > :51:00.very interesting indeed. Schooling in two, Dressel in four, Ben Proud
:51:01. > :51:04.in six. Early and 50 metres butterfly swimmers and also very
:51:05. > :51:13.good in the 100s. But they are really sprint specialists between
:51:14. > :51:16.them. Very tough to call. But the start of Dressel is absolutely
:51:17. > :51:25.phenomenal. The best starter in the world. He will be leading, at 50
:51:26. > :51:29.litres. -- at 15 metres. But there will be some guys that are quicker.
:51:30. > :51:34.I think it includes Ben Proud. Can he get out in the first 15 or 20
:51:35. > :51:40.metres and be up with these guys? We know he's going to be strong at the
:51:41. > :51:45.end of the race. He is actually the fastest 50 metre freestyle. We know
:51:46. > :51:48.he has it in his locker. The fastest human being in water in the world
:51:49. > :51:52.this year, Ben Proud of Great Britain. That is the 50 freestyle.
:51:53. > :52:02.This is the 50 metres butterfly final. Schooling in two, talk about
:52:03. > :52:07.breaking Michael Phelps 100 record, that would be interesting.
:52:08. > :52:14.Ben Proud, three from the bottom. He does not breed down the 50 metres
:52:15. > :52:19.butterfly. A decent start. A very good start for Ben Proud. Dressel in
:52:20. > :52:23.the centre of the USA, also going well between them is Govorov from
:52:24. > :52:28.Ukraine. Ben Proud in about first position, but it is very tight. Can
:52:29. > :52:35.he get the touch? Has he got the finish? I think he has! He has won
:52:36. > :52:41.the World Championships 50 metres butterfly! Ben Proud is world
:52:42. > :52:46.champion on the 50 fly! Proud winning gold, he did not breed once.
:52:47. > :52:50.He had a fabulous start. He wound it up. He did not breathe, he hit the
:52:51. > :52:56.finish perfectly. He is the world champion. Two world champions in
:52:57. > :53:01.about 30 minutes. I never thought Ben Proud would be able to battle it
:53:02. > :53:06.out. He has delivered when it counts. Nicholas Santos has been
:53:07. > :53:10.faster this year, James Gibson, the coach, going absolutely crazy behind
:53:11. > :53:16.us. Congratulations to him. What did it for him was the start. He was up
:53:17. > :53:21.and at them. We said, if he is there at 20 metres, he is one of the
:53:22. > :53:26.fastest swimmers. He had the twitch. Govorov, the specialist, next to
:53:27. > :53:30.him, could not haul him in. This was the vital bit. It is all about
:53:31. > :53:35.measuring your finish. Look at that. He gets fingertips to the wall
:53:36. > :53:40.first. Guess what? Your reward is a World Championship gold medal. Well
:53:41. > :53:45.done, Ben Proud. Isn't it great? You are never out of breath. He won by a
:53:46. > :53:50.mile, four one hundredths of a second. Ben Proud, world champion on
:53:51. > :53:55.the 50 metres butterfly. Absolutely brilliant.
:53:56. > :54:05.Huge congratulations to Ben Proud. Market getting a bit emotional. How
:54:06. > :54:11.proud I do? Sorry to use that word, proud, how proud you to see that, as
:54:12. > :54:15.a character he is a great young man? When he got into the lane he didn't
:54:16. > :54:20.really know what to do. He's not got arrogance. He has said in some of
:54:21. > :54:24.his interviews that there wasn't that belief. He started believing,
:54:25. > :54:30.as much as three years ago, when he burst onto the scene. Really, I he
:54:31. > :54:32.has grown in confidence. James Gibson is looking after him at the
:54:33. > :54:38.moment. We have seen his celebrations. He was way more
:54:39. > :54:41.ecstatic than Ben. But he is such a lovely lad, very humble. Let's hear
:54:42. > :54:49.from Ben, with Sharon now. I couldn't be more pleased for you.
:54:50. > :54:54.You said if you got the start right, it is your race and you were
:54:55. > :54:59.absolutely on the ball? I don't really know what to say! I'm on the
:55:00. > :55:05.verge of tears. It has been a dream since I was six years old. It's hard
:55:06. > :55:11.to put into words. What was going on in the Green room before? There was
:55:12. > :55:15.a lot of needle, eyeing each other up, or you are keeping the towel
:55:16. > :55:21.over your head and keeping your eye on your own It's so funny in there.
:55:22. > :55:29.Everybody is really friendly. Yesterday I was stressed out. I have
:55:30. > :55:33.managed to be more calm, listening to music. I wasn't thinking about
:55:34. > :55:39.the race at all. I thought about winning, it has been my mind since
:55:40. > :55:46.last night. I just went in and thought, maybe a medal would be
:55:47. > :55:49.nice. You never quite know what is going to happen when you change over
:55:50. > :55:56.teen, the go to a new coach and country. It worked well for you?
:55:57. > :56:01.Yes, the work that James has done this year, after the four years I
:56:02. > :56:09.had with John, really come together. James has really helped. I'm not the
:56:10. > :56:12.most confident guy, or I haven't been in the past. Just learning how
:56:13. > :56:19.to put the race together, switching off my mind before going into the
:56:20. > :56:27.race. As soon as I got to the block, it was just me and my race, and I
:56:28. > :56:32.did it. And we get to watch the Union Jack going up for the second
:56:33. > :56:35.time. Congratulations, I am really pleased for you.
:56:36. > :56:40.Huge congratulations, world champion Ben Proud. He certainly sacrificed a
:56:41. > :56:45.lot, moved around the globe, currently in Turkey. What does the
:56:46. > :56:52.future hold for this baby faced assassin? When he gets everything
:56:53. > :56:58.right, he is one of the best in the world. He is the best in the world!
:56:59. > :57:02.But his fly kick is unbelievable, the way he stays flat across the
:57:03. > :57:06.water, like a pond skater, when he gets it right. We will talk about
:57:07. > :57:10.him loads more, but let's look at the other Brits in action, the
:57:11. > :57:13.women. Go 100-metre backstroke semifinal. There are Brits in both
:57:14. > :57:25.of these. The two British entrants are in two
:57:26. > :57:33.and six. Georgia Davies and Kathleen Dawson. Both of the British women
:57:34. > :57:44.have a great chance of making this final. There was some good swimming
:57:45. > :57:47.in the heats. Seebohm looking good with that yellow hat. Looking really
:57:48. > :57:53.good. She would not have been happy last year, missing out on the medals
:57:54. > :57:59.at the Olympic Games. I have my eyes on lane two, Georgia Davies, really
:58:00. > :58:08.keen to see her do well here. But it is all Seebohm in the middle of the
:58:09. > :58:13.pool. Smoliga of America right next to her. Kathleen looking pretty good
:58:14. > :58:17.just to the left of that. Come on, Kathleen, get through. Both British
:58:18. > :58:24.women looking good here. It looks like it is going to be Emily Seebohm
:58:25. > :58:31.winning this. It is not that quick. Look at the British women, very good
:58:32. > :58:41.indeed. So, Kathleen Dawson in third, Georgia Davies in fourth. But
:58:42. > :58:45.Emily Seebohm, well, and 59 seconds. She will certainly get through to
:58:46. > :58:49.the final. Smoliga second for the USA. It's going be a really tight
:58:50. > :58:54.race to get through this final. The second semi is really quick. I think
:58:55. > :59:02.more than four have a chance of going sub 60. This morning, there
:59:03. > :59:05.were five girls under one minute. We've got to be careful. Georgia
:59:06. > :59:11.Davies could be right on the cusp. It just depends how they go. Great
:59:12. > :59:14.to see Kathleen Dawson, training with Ben Hickson at the University
:59:15. > :59:18.of Stirling, doing a great time, getting under the minute barrier.
:59:19. > :59:22.She missed out on the Olympics last year, she is going to relish the
:59:23. > :59:28.World Championship final tomorrow. I think she has probably done enough.
:59:29. > :59:32.Dawson looks good. 59.8. We're going to have to wait for the second
:59:33. > :59:36.semifinal, very close. But Seebohm winning it.
:59:37. > :59:43.Fingers crossed that the British girls can book a place in the
:59:44. > :59:47.semifinal. -- in the final. What did you make of that? Both solid. They
:59:48. > :59:55.both moved on from the heats this morning. Kathleen is 0.2 from her
:59:56. > :59:58.PB, she probably wants to try and break it tomorrow. Georgia has been
:59:59. > :00:02.half a second quicker, I think she would have wanted to pose a faster
:00:03. > :00:06.marker. She trains that way, Ben Proud does. She probably saw her
:00:07. > :00:12.team-mate, been buzzing, and got hyped up, she would want to put in a
:00:13. > :00:16.better performance, a solid one, enough to be more confident that she
:00:17. > :00:19.will make that final. We were keeping our eyes peeled to see if
:00:20. > :00:23.Ben was going to stick around to see how his team mate got on. I think
:00:24. > :00:31.you didn't know what to do with himself? No, I think it that whole
:00:32. > :00:36.thing about belief. Until you do it, you don't really get it. I think
:00:37. > :00:39.seeing him grow, every time he gets to the block, being around James and
:00:40. > :00:42.some of the top swimmers, it rubs off on you and you become more
:00:43. > :00:46.relaxed. You start believing, actually, I belong here and can beat
:00:47. > :00:49.other people. When you don't race the Americans very often, you think
:00:50. > :00:56.you are up against the Americans, you don't come up against the very
:00:57. > :00:58.often. Now he can take it to them. I think Dressle will wish he had found
:00:59. > :01:06.John Elliott. He has got the confidence, the medal
:01:07. > :01:10.and the title and no one can take it away from him, let's see if the
:01:11. > :01:12.British girls can get themselves into the final, here is the second
:01:13. > :01:39.semifinal. Over two commentators. The Canadian only just missed
:01:40. > :01:48.breaking Great Britain's world-record, set back in 2009. I
:01:49. > :01:54.wonder if the world-record is going to go, they have been queueing up,
:01:55. > :01:58.the dam is ready to burst. It's been great to watch Masse in the cold
:01:59. > :02:03.room, she was laughing and giggling to herself, having a joke with Emily
:02:04. > :02:11.Seaborn and when you are relaxed you might be able to swim faster. Third
:02:12. > :02:17.last year at the Olympic Games. She has to be the hot favourite year for
:02:18. > :02:25.the World Championship title. If she can break the world record that
:02:26. > :02:28.would be something. I was talking to the Canadian coaches and they were
:02:29. > :02:32.looking forward to this. Second sign a
:02:33. > :02:44.the world number one Masse swam 58.21 earlier this year, 58.12 is
:02:45. > :02:51.the world-record. Going pretty well in the centre, black suit, white
:02:52. > :02:57.hat, right on world-record pace. She really is getting good turnover,
:02:58. > :03:02.great efficiency as well. Baker, Alan Thicke silver medallist, not
:03:03. > :03:05.giving it all her own way, a tenth of a second under world-record pace
:03:06. > :03:17.at this stage and the 21-year-old Canadian is looking exceptional.
:03:18. > :03:22.When the world-record was broken in 2009 she came back extremely fast,
:03:23. > :03:30.Masse has work to do to break it. It's going to be close, the
:03:31. > :03:35.world-record survives by 61 hundredths of a second and that is
:03:36. > :03:47.the second fastest time in history. Masse of Canada, what a great second
:03:48. > :03:50.50 it was. Amazing. If Gemma was watching she was hiding behind a
:03:51. > :03:55.cushion because that world-record was under threat but how smooth did
:03:56. > :04:03.that work? She really is blowing, she gave it absolutely everything.
:04:04. > :04:07.Fastest qualifier, must be about six or seven tenths of a second. Great
:04:08. > :04:15.shots showing us how efficient she is. Streamline under the water, got
:04:16. > :04:18.to get end, good finish, missed out by hundredths of a second, what a
:04:19. > :04:25.race that will be tomorrow night and they will have another go at taking
:04:26. > :04:32.it down. Demonstrating her finish. Not quite sure what she's doing!
:04:33. > :04:40.It's the face of the second fastest backstroke swimmer in history. The
:04:41. > :04:42.world-record survives, maybe only just another day, will it go
:04:43. > :04:58.tomorrow? The good news for Great Britain is I
:04:59. > :05:07.think at least Dawson has made the final. I'm not sure if Georgia
:05:08. > :05:15.Davies has. Kathleen Dawson has, that is absolutely brilliant.
:05:16. > :05:22.Wonderful stuff. The 19-year-old from Stirling.
:05:23. > :05:28.We will see Kathleen Dawson tomorrow night in the final join us if you
:05:29. > :05:34.can, thanks to tonight Great Britain can boast two world champions, Adam
:05:35. > :05:39.Peaty and Ben Proud. This was your event, you know how hard it is, what
:05:40. > :05:46.it takes to take the title, what did he do that was so good tonight?
:05:47. > :05:50.Concentrated on his own race. He said he was more relaxed beforehand,
:05:51. > :05:55.it is what you trained to do, you train, when you walk out, average
:05:56. > :05:59.talking about being in the zone, in the moment. You've done it so many
:06:00. > :06:05.times before you are not even thinking and it makes you so much
:06:06. > :06:10.more relaxed. He just did his own race, with long distance races you
:06:11. > :06:15.can see where people are and use it as a marker but Ben Proud, great
:06:16. > :06:20.start, said he had to get the start right, he's one of the best starters
:06:21. > :06:26.in the world. Has his head down all the way, not looking at anyone else
:06:27. > :06:31.whatsoever, it's just him, the water and the wall. If you are not looking
:06:32. > :06:49.at anyone then you don't know where you are right? Could have been
:06:50. > :06:58.anywhere, first or fifth. It was rushed, but Ben was perfect. That
:06:59. > :07:03.explains his reaction, being a bit surprised. It was really cute, he
:07:04. > :07:07.did not know what to do, he is not arrogant at all, we always said he
:07:08. > :07:13.needed more confidence. He is looking around, thinking mum, dad,
:07:14. > :07:17.what is going wrong? Acute seems like the wrong word, when you look
:07:18. > :07:22.at his physique, how much effort does it take to get a body like
:07:23. > :07:25.that? A lot of training and gym work. Talking to his coach who used
:07:26. > :07:31.to be head of the sprint programme in the UK is note out in Turkey, but
:07:32. > :07:35.I was talking to him about Ben he said he's not the most talented
:07:36. > :07:40.summer in the world but we are making the best of what he has got.
:07:41. > :07:46.He's great that we will make him unreal. We have already seen two
:07:47. > :07:52.Britain's top the podium tonight and we have got another chance,
:07:53. > :07:55.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor in the final of the 200-metre individual medley.
:07:56. > :08:02.Asked to chase down a huge home favourite.
:08:03. > :08:08.My break after Rio was lovely, I had a lovely time but then you lose a
:08:09. > :08:13.lot of momentum when you take a break and I forgot how hard a week
:08:14. > :08:18.of training is on your body. But once I did I started to enjoy it
:08:19. > :08:26.again. 2015 the World Championships I did not raise my own race at all.
:08:27. > :08:32.I tried to stick with Katinka as much as I could and it is when she
:08:33. > :08:35.broke the world-record. At a metres I was under the world-record pace
:08:36. > :08:41.and that is not how I needed to swim it. You need to focus on how it is
:08:42. > :08:47.best for you. My target for Budapest is to back up what I did last year
:08:48. > :08:53.and get on the podium. It will be another great chance to race Katinka
:08:54. > :08:58., I know how to race, how it suits me and I pushed pretty close in Rio
:08:59. > :09:02.and gave me the confidence but you always have the doubts in your head
:09:03. > :09:08.of can I do it on the big stage and deliver when the pressure is on? But
:09:09. > :09:12.having performed like I did in Rio it's given me more confidence than
:09:13. > :09:16.ever. I have realised I can do it when the pressure is on and each
:09:17. > :09:17.race I do I'll hopefully get closer and closer and closer so we will
:09:18. > :09:25.see. The 200-metre individual medley
:09:26. > :09:31.coming up featuring Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and the roof will be off
:09:32. > :09:35.because Katinka Hosszu is in it, huge home favourite, massive
:09:36. > :09:38.superstar here in Hungary. But we are very proud of Siobhan-Marie
:09:39. > :09:45.O'Connor, a real character who has fought a lot in terms of personal
:09:46. > :09:50.health, what you make of her chances tonight given the year she has had?
:09:51. > :09:56.She had a longer break than everyone else and she admits that but she
:09:57. > :10:00.such a racer, she loves it, fantastic skills, one of the best
:10:01. > :10:05.starts in the world. In her heats she looked really relaxed, last
:10:06. > :10:09.night in the semifinal it looked a little bit harder. She has pulled
:10:10. > :10:13.out of the 100-metre breast Rope tonight to give it everything she's
:10:14. > :10:17.got because she wants the medal. Hopefully she will be buzzing
:10:18. > :10:28.watching the Ben and add and it will give her confidence.
:10:29. > :10:38.Lots of girl power in action tonight, we are hoping Siobhan can
:10:39. > :10:43.do the job, got the Olympic medal, silver, in Rio, can she do it
:10:44. > :10:48.tonight? Let's see. But let's talk about James Guy, he's a friend of
:10:49. > :10:51.the show and a real character, the defending 200 freestyle world
:10:52. > :10:58.champion, let's hear from him ahead of his event. I don't have much
:10:59. > :11:04.pressure on me at this one. In that aspect it's about getting into my
:11:05. > :11:07.PB's again because then I will be a medal contender. After the Olympics
:11:08. > :11:11.everything dies down a little and it gets quieter so now is my chance to
:11:12. > :11:16.do what I do and enjoy the sport again and that's what I'm doing. I
:11:17. > :11:21.am happy, I want to go fast and I know I can. There are medal options
:11:22. > :11:29.there. I feel like the old James Guy again, a storm is coming. A storm is
:11:30. > :11:36.coming, it was more of the drizzly midweek afternoon in his 400 bless
:11:37. > :11:41.him. I thought you meant this afternoon, because it was. That was
:11:42. > :11:47.a storm, James Guy however, I think he would have been disappointed with
:11:48. > :11:53.his time in the 400? I don't think it is his best event. He did so well
:11:54. > :11:57.in the 100-metre butterfly, his 200 metres I think personally is his
:11:58. > :12:01.better event and it's the one he likes, even Bill Furnace said that
:12:02. > :12:08.last night, 400 is not his main focus. I think James, he rooms with
:12:09. > :12:13.Adam, they have such a great relationship. In Rio he just got
:12:14. > :12:18.better throughout the week and I think James is one of those swim
:12:19. > :12:21.into the meet guys. We saw it at the Europeans a couple of years ago, not
:12:22. > :12:28.a great start then he came back and pushed everybody. I think he will do
:12:29. > :12:34.it again. The 400 metres looked very relaxed and in control at the start
:12:35. > :12:38.but 200 metres and 400 metres are completely different events and he's
:12:39. > :12:48.focusing more on the 200. I expect to see him up there. You will make
:12:49. > :12:54.the final, he wants to show the others he has form. I think being
:12:55. > :13:00.the reigning champion will not want to let his opponents have it too
:13:01. > :13:04.easy. Duncan Scott also in this one who has been in great form, exciting
:13:05. > :13:16.prospect based on what he's done so far this year.
:13:17. > :13:52.The top 16 very, very close indeed after the heat this morning. 200
:13:53. > :13:57.metres freestyle, only 1.6 seconds dividing the whole field. It's going
:13:58. > :14:03.to be a wagon race, it could be anybody's in terms of getting in but
:14:04. > :14:06.cannot see the likes of James Guy, Duncan Scott, you would hope those
:14:07. > :14:12.guys definitely get through. Good to see this year that the Brits, third
:14:13. > :14:18.and fourth fastest times in the world, they do have some strength
:14:19. > :14:24.here. Looks fantastic for the really where we are defending champions.
:14:25. > :14:36.These guys have got a job to do here. With only 1.6 seconds between
:14:37. > :14:48.all 16, you cannot mess about, very important to set a fast time. Haas
:14:49. > :14:52.will be right next to James Guy but here is the defending world
:14:53. > :14:58.champion. The British record-holder James Guy of Great Britain. Would
:14:59. > :15:05.love to see him go maybe a low 145. I think if he does that he should be
:15:06. > :15:10.fine. That is the sort of time needed to win two years ago. Only 19
:15:11. > :15:15.years old then, taking on the best in the world and winning. Did not
:15:16. > :15:20.quite go his way, unfortunately James Guy fourth in Rio last year
:15:21. > :15:23.and absolutely gutted. Still came away with two silver medals but it's
:15:24. > :15:33.the individual glory he wants to back it up with. No Chad Le Clos, we
:15:34. > :15:37.saw his strategy last year at the Olympics, going out so hard and
:15:38. > :15:45.clinging on, but it's painful. Interesting to see how James takes
:15:46. > :15:50.it out here. A massive cheer for the Hungarian in six. The crowd here I
:15:51. > :15:52.think are the loudest I have ever heard at a swimming meet. Perhaps
:15:53. > :16:10.only rivalled by the 2012 Olympics. James Guy is going with it. Look at
:16:11. > :16:14.him. It's like the darts! It is louder than the darts, the World
:16:15. > :16:31.Championship semifinal, then's 200-metre freestyle.
:16:32. > :16:43.The first semifinal of the men's to did metres freestyle. James Guy
:16:44. > :16:58.having a decent start. Majchrzak of Poland in three. Eyeballing each
:16:59. > :17:02.other, James Guy and Townley Haas. The middle 100 is where you have to
:17:03. > :17:08.establish your pace. That is where it can be won and lost. A lot of the
:17:09. > :17:14.American in lane five, one lane up from James Guy. He is really taking
:17:15. > :17:17.it to the field. He has to be a little bit careful. All of these
:17:18. > :17:26.guys can come back. He also has to be careful because the second semi
:17:27. > :17:34.is very quick indeed. Townley Haas over first for the USA. In third,
:17:35. > :17:38.the Pole. Guy is looking good in the centre, in the black hats to the
:17:39. > :17:46.left of the two leaders. Good swimming. Come on, let's really work
:17:47. > :17:51.the turn. Set yourself up for a good last 50. A great time to go into the
:17:52. > :17:54.final. Look at the wall from Townley Haas, the American. Maybe James Guy
:17:55. > :17:59.fancies this. He is not going to let this World Championship title go
:18:00. > :18:04.down easy. Maybe it is a statement of intent? What time can he do? Guy
:18:05. > :18:10.is looking good. Very important to get a good touch. If he can get to
:18:11. > :18:12.maybe third, it looks like he will win the first semifinal, James Guy
:18:13. > :18:19.of Great Britain looking comfortable. His time, 1.40 five.
:18:20. > :18:28.That was very good indeed. He won the World Championship title two
:18:29. > :18:32.years ago for 100 slower than that. That's a very good semifinal swim.
:18:33. > :18:38.Very mature, exactly what he needed to do. Guy the first semifinal. So
:18:39. > :18:43.excited. I think he has just realised he is in the best form of
:18:44. > :18:53.his life. OK, here's four one hundredths of a second slower than
:18:54. > :18:59.he went previously. But he will want to take them on tonight. He was not
:19:00. > :19:03.scared of Haas. He had the confidence he would bring it back. I
:19:04. > :19:09.think that is where he is at his strongest. Measured over the first
:19:10. > :19:12.100 and really sticking it to the guys over the next. It was
:19:13. > :19:17.controlled, not frantic over the last 25 metres. He has his power,
:19:18. > :19:23.Adam Peaty, watching how he goes. I hope he enjoyed it. I'm guessing he
:19:24. > :19:27.didn't know the result. He looked a little bit vacant. But then he did
:19:28. > :19:32.just win the world title again. That was a very good swim. We got a
:19:33. > :19:39.thumbs up and OK, very good swimming. James Guy wins the first
:19:40. > :19:45.semifinal. Haas second, Kozma, very good from Hungary in third. Wow.
:19:46. > :19:56.200 is his much put -- preferred event. That was amazing. Rightly so,
:19:57. > :20:00.the second semifinal is going to be quick. He wants to get his hand on
:20:01. > :20:05.the wall first. He wasn't giving it up, he wasn't going to save
:20:06. > :20:08.anything. How much does he get from the atmosphere? He is a showman and
:20:09. > :20:14.great personality. Walking out here with these guys would have been
:20:15. > :20:19.super exciting for him. Left hand to Sharon, she's got James now.
:20:20. > :20:27.We are being told you are a showman, I thought you paced that are
:20:28. > :20:31.beautifully. A showman? The plan was to go out relaxed and hard, but have
:20:32. > :20:36.some left for the back half. It felt great. It looks really good. It
:20:37. > :20:39.looked like you were in control, so much better than the 100? This
:20:40. > :20:46.morning, so much more relaxed. I knew what I was going with the race.
:20:47. > :20:50.I'm loving it, it's great. You are going to take it to them, you're not
:20:51. > :20:54.going to let them have the title easily? I'll give it my best shot.
:20:55. > :20:59.There were some fast guys there. It will be a close one. You have become
:21:00. > :21:04.a man and moved away from and dad, how is that going? It's hard, my mum
:21:05. > :21:08.is making me some dinners for the start of the week, I am still
:21:09. > :21:11.struggling with the cooking. But it is great being at Bath. They said
:21:12. > :21:18.they are trying to send your brother to look after you. God, no, not
:21:19. > :21:19.going to happen. Good luck in the 200. We will keep everything crossed
:21:20. > :21:27.for you. We have Duncan Scott going in the
:21:28. > :21:31.second semifinal of this one. Let's hand over and Steve to take us
:21:32. > :21:32.through this one and see if two Brits can book themselves a place in
:21:33. > :21:53.fierce final tomorrow night. Well, it is going to be interesting.
:21:54. > :21:58.Look at that. There is the Olympic champion, Sun Yang. Let's not forget
:21:59. > :22:02.about Duncan Scott. He is the fastest man in the world at the
:22:03. > :22:14.moment on the 100 metres freestyle. Well, he was, coming into the meet.
:22:15. > :22:19.There is Sun Yang. He The gold on the 400. It was an ominous,
:22:20. > :22:24.frightening race. When he decided to go, sparks flew. He has got a lot of
:22:25. > :22:28.power, and a lot of other swimmers don't possess that. He seems to be
:22:29. > :22:36.able to turn it on when he wants to. Sun Yang has won eight gold medals
:22:37. > :22:39.at the championships. He can match winning eight titles. No Asian has
:22:40. > :22:45.ever finished top male, he could do it here.
:22:46. > :22:51.Second semifinal of the 200 metres freestyle. In lane six, Duncan Scott
:22:52. > :22:56.of Great Britain has a cracking chance of making the final. It was a
:22:57. > :23:02.quick first semi, so he has some work to do. Sun Yang in the centre,
:23:03. > :23:07.in the pink suit. Not a great start. Three from the bottom now, Duncan
:23:08. > :23:12.Scott is looking very good indeed. I'm a big fan of Duncan Scott. In
:23:13. > :23:16.swimming, technique is the limiting factor. He is such a brilliant
:23:17. > :23:21.technician. He has such easy speed because he's so fast on the 100. How
:23:22. > :23:28.does a six two guy who weighs about 12 stone from Scotland beat the
:23:29. > :23:32.biggest guys in the world? Because he's technically brilliant. Look at
:23:33. > :23:36.him, taking it to Sun Yang. I would not worry about the Japanese, I fear
:23:37. > :23:40.it might have been taken out too hard. Duncan Scott has real easy
:23:41. > :23:45.speed. He wants to show the guys what he is made. Come on, let's
:23:46. > :23:50.build into this third 50, the most important for me. He looks
:23:51. > :23:56.sensational. He looks very good indeed, three lanes from the right.
:23:57. > :24:00.Duncan Scott pass to hold on. He worked the second and third 50 very
:24:01. > :24:06.hard. But he is leading by maybe a metre or a metre and a half. One
:24:07. > :24:10.length left. Duncan Scott is half a second head of the field, with the
:24:11. > :24:15.two Russians in second and third. Here comes Sun Yang in the centre.
:24:16. > :24:18.It is fast, he needs to hold on. This would be brilliant if he could
:24:19. > :24:23.beat these guys. I fear he is getting himself into some trouble.
:24:24. > :24:27.It must be hurting now. He has done the job, I don't think he will let
:24:28. > :24:36.too many go past him, if any. He might get the touch. Come on. He's
:24:37. > :24:41.got it. 1:45.16. That is actually faster than James Guy won the first
:24:42. > :24:46.semi. Great Britain are going to go into the final in first and second.
:24:47. > :24:53.My goodness me. I did not expect that. What on earth are they
:24:54. > :24:58.sticking in these meals back at the British hotel? They must have had
:24:59. > :25:03.some good cereal this morning. I tell you what, everything is going
:25:04. > :25:08.the men's way. Duncan Scott, we have high expectations for him coming
:25:09. > :25:12.into the meet. He was the fastest in the world going into the meet. This
:25:13. > :25:15.200 freestyle is looking really strong as well. There is no reason
:25:16. > :25:18.tomorrow night that there couldn't be two British men on the blocks. It
:25:19. > :25:27.just looks brilliant. Duncan Scott wins the second
:25:28. > :25:33.semifinal. Look who was second. The Russians, third and fourth.
:25:34. > :25:41.Let's see who has made the final. Great Britain, let's savour that.
:25:42. > :25:49.Duncan Scott, fastest in the semifinal. Sun Yang is there. Mack
:25:50. > :25:56.Horton isn't. Wonderful news for the freestyle relay, goodness gracious.
:25:57. > :26:07.You lot are never happy, great, one and two fastest into the final, but
:26:08. > :26:12.the relay, come on. Let's talk about the 200 freestyle. How indicative is
:26:13. > :26:18.that of the final tomorrow night? I can't hear what you said! Both
:26:19. > :26:23.awesome. Duncan, all of the talk was about James, but Duncan looked so
:26:24. > :26:25.smooth down the first 100 metres. Legs hear from him, because he is
:26:26. > :26:35.with Sharon. Many congratulations, a tremendous
:26:36. > :26:41.swim. I don't know that we thought we had two Brits going in first and
:26:42. > :26:47.second. Neither did I. Just had to try to make it back. I'm really
:26:48. > :26:54.happy with that. Something is going on in the men's camp, success does
:26:55. > :27:01.breed success? Definitely. You saw it earlier on, Adam Peaty, and then
:27:02. > :27:05.Ben Proud. The men's camp in British swimming is in a good place. We will
:27:06. > :27:07.try to keep the momentum going. A fantastic couple of years you are
:27:08. > :27:14.having, getting better every time you get into the water. Easier said
:27:15. > :27:19.than done. A lot of hard work that gets you there, and the lovely thing
:27:20. > :27:23.is, the 200 freestyle will just help your 100 no end? Definitely. I was
:27:24. > :27:30.nervous going into it, because I hadn't swum internationally. But it
:27:31. > :27:34.gives me confidence, going into another event I have establish
:27:35. > :27:36.myself that. I am looking forward to that. We are looking forward to the
:27:37. > :27:44.final. Thank you very much. We have a final on our hands, time
:27:45. > :27:53.for the women's tinted metre individual medley, featuring Katinka
:27:54. > :28:01.Hosszu and Siobhan O'Connor for Great Britain.
:28:02. > :28:07.I cannot hear you. That was the loudest roar I think I have ever
:28:08. > :28:11.heard anywhere. That was unbelievable. Goodness gracious me.
:28:12. > :28:15.Katinka Hosszu of Hungary goes in as the fastest qualifier for the final
:28:16. > :28:25.of the women's 200 metres individual medley. My word. The crowd here have
:28:26. > :28:34.just gone absolutely nuts. Katinka Hosszu will be in four, Margalis
:28:35. > :28:37.will be in five, and Siobhan O'Connor will be in six. This crowd,
:28:38. > :28:51.the atmosphere is electric. I have never heard such a noise at
:28:52. > :28:58.the start. Siobhan O'Connor in six, fourth fastest into the final.
:28:59. > :29:01.Sydney Pickrem of Canada is in three. She is a big threat. The
:29:02. > :29:13.final of the women's 200 medley. The 50 metres butterfly, backstroke,
:29:14. > :29:18.breaststroke and freestyle. A very good start indeed, she has done to
:29:19. > :29:22.the championships, Katinka Hosszu of Hungary, the world record-holder and
:29:23. > :29:28.defending champion. She is first class. Absolutely brilliant. Covered
:29:29. > :29:33.in goose bumps after hearing that noise. It's like being at a football
:29:34. > :29:36.match. Katinka Hosszu is the Libby champion butterfly and backstroke,
:29:37. > :29:43.you can expect her to be fast on this first 100 metres. Siobhan-Marie
:29:44. > :29:46.O'Connor in second place. Katinka Hosszu will be wanting to play to
:29:47. > :29:52.her strengths and really work this backstroke leg. Siobhan-Marie
:29:53. > :29:57.O'Connor will not want to let her go. The Americans sandwiched in
:29:58. > :30:02.between. Pickrem not turning up, in lane three. That is a big surprise,
:30:03. > :30:07.he is not turning up at all. But Katinka Hosszu, the crowd is going
:30:08. > :30:12.to go nuts when she turns first. Hosszu over first, the world
:30:13. > :30:16.record-holder. Just outside of her world record pace. Great Britain's
:30:17. > :30:20.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor in fifth. Her breaststroke leg is very strong. You
:30:21. > :30:24.can just see the black hat on the left-hand side, three from the
:30:25. > :30:28.bottom. She is looking good, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. She has some
:30:29. > :30:32.work to do down the second half. It really is all about the world
:30:33. > :30:40.champion, the defending champion, the Olympic champion, Katinka Hosszu
:30:41. > :30:43.of Hungary. Look at Siobhan O'Connor. She will be hurting, she
:30:44. > :30:50.had that long break after the Olympics. This is where
:30:51. > :30:53.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor Hass to work like she has never worked before she
:30:54. > :30:57.is going to get a bronze medal, but she is capable. Only one person is
:30:58. > :31:02.going to win this race, and that is Katinka Hosszu. She looks great. 20
:31:03. > :31:08.metres to go. She is going very well indeed. I have to say, Ohashi of
:31:09. > :31:12.Japan, closest to us, she is pushing it. Quite incredible. Katinka Hosszu
:31:13. > :31:24.is going to be the world champion again. She does win with a time of
:31:25. > :31:30.2:07.00. The bronze has gone to Cox of the USA.
:31:31. > :31:35.As you can hear, the Hungarian crowd is going absolutely nuts. More
:31:36. > :31:37.reaction on the red button. See you there.
