Previously, at the Winter
Olympics... Fantastic performance! | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
An enormous upset here at this
Olympic Games. Germany have beaten | 0:00:14 | 0:00:20 | |
the defending champions, and they
going for gold! When she was out in | 0:00:20 | 0:00:25 | |
front, there was no stopping her.
Swede -- Sweden take the last | 0:00:25 | 0:00:31 | |
biathlon gold. Day 15... | 0:00:31 | 0:00:41 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Welcome to Today at
the Games - it's day 15. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
This is the penultimate day
of competition and there are eight | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
gold medals to be decided. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
Could Team GB set a new
record Winter haul? | 0:01:10 | 0:01:16 | |
Here's what's coming up
on tonight's programme, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
from a man who has
just dropped in.... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Can Billy bounce into the big
time in the Big Air? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:28 | |
A surprising big g in
the Super-G on skis last week, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
back on her board -
it's a tester for Ester. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Eve and her ice sisters struck
bronze four years ago, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
can they repeat the feat? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
Eight men in two
sleds go four times. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
It's time for GB to do job
in the four man bob? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Oh... | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Look, that's me, am
I on the programme tonight? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Brilliant... | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
A very special voice-over artist,
who has flown in specially from | 0:01:57 | 0:02:03 | |
Pyeongchang. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Woodsy is here! | 0:02:06 | 0:02:11 | |
Having competed... You call yourself
a free ski up, you spoke about this | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
earlier. A free spirit, amongst us,
how was it? It was good, thank you. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
Enjoyed it all? Yes, thank you, good
to see you. James Woods will be an | 0:02:21 | 0:02:28 | |
expert on all things that relate to
performance. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:35 | |
Also fresh off the plane from Korea,
we welcome back downhill ski racer | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
and four time Olympian Chemmy Alcott
and, as our resident snowboard | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
expert, two time
Olympian Ben Kilner. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
Were you on the same flight back
from South Korea? I didn't hear you, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
did you hear me? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
First up, brand-new to the Olympics,
it is big air. Representing Team GB | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
with Billy Morgan. He is quite a
cool dude. Did you get around | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Pyeongchang like this? I think these
scooters are in the coastal village. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:07 | |
As a kid he was a gymnast and
started skiing on the dry slope in | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Southampton | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
money was 14. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
He was the oldest competitor
in the field as the Big Air | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
took centre stage. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
Jenny Jones was there. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:31 | |
The men's big air final is the last
freestyle event here in South Korea | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
and it has been a mixed couple of
weeks for the GB crew. Oh my | 0:03:34 | 0:03:42 | |
goodness! O! Daisy Atkin takes a
bronze. Billy Morgan making the | 0:03:42 | 0:03:49 | |
final of the men's big air race.
It's not impossible that he could | 0:03:49 | 0:03:55 | |
take a medal today. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Billy Morgan took a big hit in
training to stop so the fact he is | 0:04:02 | 0:04:08 | |
up here is great news. Billy made it
through with big backside 1440 | 0:04:08 | 0:04:16 | |
treble Cork but it was immaculate
and huge that is what Billy wants to | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
land stop yellow a lot of speed into
this first one. It is massive. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |
Couldn't hold it. It was huge. Billy
going right to wait out to the nose | 0:04:25 | 0:04:32 | |
there, the judges loved that, but
the trailing hand grabbing under the | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
leg. Billy Morgan now has it all to
do. Sebastien Toutant has been in | 0:04:36 | 0:04:43 | |
the game for more than a decade. He
has been a feature of podiums but as | 0:04:43 | 0:04:49 | |
of late he has been eclipsed and the
Canadian team. Switch, frontside, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:57 | |
1620. The first rider to send it
deep into the landing. That is very, | 0:04:57 | 0:05:07 | |
very nice. Sebastien Toutant has put
himself very much in the running for | 0:05:07 | 0:05:13 | |
this title. An acid trip to punch
out first run. Kyle Mack, a rider | 0:05:13 | 0:05:20 | |
always renowned for his different
grabs. Made it into the finals with | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
an outside treble Cork 1440 but put
a Japan grab on it which almost all | 0:05:24 | 0:05:30 | |
the rotation. There it was. Oh my
goodness! Wow, that's one we've seen | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
from him! To put the Japan grab in
the middle of that trick kills all | 0:05:35 | 0:05:40 | |
the rotation. Then as he brings the
Japan back it re-initiates the | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
trick. And he held onto the grab.
Yes. The instead, every part of him | 0:05:45 | 0:05:51 | |
must be shouting let go, let go,
save yourselves! Spicing things up | 0:05:51 | 0:05:57 | |
with a backside 1620, putting him
doubled leaderboard going into the | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
second run. Canada's Matt Sparrow
was just on his tail. -- Max Parrot. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:13 | |
Billy under pressure now. A tear in
his ACL kept him of his board for a | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
month before these games. Come on,
Billy! Massive again. And he held it | 0:06:17 | 0:06:25 | |
up, yes! It was huge. A bloody nose
grab on it, the hardest grab. Yes, | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
Billy! Oh my goodness. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:37 | |
Billy! Oh my goodness. He did stand
that butterfly winding of the arms. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:42 | |
COMMENTATOR: 82.50. That is a score
on the board, Billy Morgan has a | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
serious shot now. Next in a
Sebastien Toutant. The Canadian is | 0:06:46 | 0:06:53 | |
sat on very powerful score. We saw a
backside 1620 in qualifying. If he | 0:06:53 | 0:07:02 | |
can add that it puts him in an
amazing position but he could go | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
safe here. I don't think he is going
to play say. He wants this win. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:12 | |
Switch backside 1620. A bobble on
the way out there. Huge, huge second | 0:07:12 | 0:07:21 | |
hit for the man from Quebec. 216
20s. This is very, very precious. It | 0:07:21 | 0:07:27 | |
puts him in a very strong position.
-- two 1620s. Kyle Mack, powerhouse. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:36 | |
He is so massively, he even thinks
in salt water. Does he? If you have | 0:07:36 | 0:07:45 | |
a set of wire gates you need
smashing down, get this boy on it! | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
Kyle Mack, already be backside 1440.
Oooh, no! Vatuvei bloody Dracula, | 0:07:50 | 0:08:00 | |
and I'm not swearing, that is the
name of the grab. Both hands and the | 0:08:00 | 0:08:05 | |
tail. I've never seen it in a 14.
I'd seen him do it in a tent had -- | 0:08:05 | 0:08:12 | |
1080. Both hands back on the tail.
Chris Corning managed to improve on | 0:08:12 | 0:08:23 | |
his first outing, but would it be
enough to keep him in the running | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
for a spot on the podium? Third and
final jumps of men's big air. A big | 0:08:26 | 0:08:33 | |
crowd cheering Billy on here. He
needs to go absolutely | 0:08:33 | 0:08:39 | |
stratospheric. That is not something
he struggles with, let's be honest! | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
Come on Billy Morgan, frontside
triple. Double grab. Billy Morgan, | 0:08:43 | 0:08:49 | |
yes! Oh, yes! Triple frontside 14,
that is massive, absolutely huge. Oh | 0:08:49 | 0:08:59 | |
my goodness! Billy just did a
frontside triple 14 and went double | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
grab, landed it clean. OK, we need
this score to be over 71. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:10 | |
COMMENTATOR: 85.5 Paul Billy Morgan
moves into bronze medal position and | 0:09:10 | 0:09:16 | |
it is a long and nervous wait.
Amazing! Kyle Mack and Sebastien | 0:09:16 | 0:09:23 | |
Toutant failed to land their trick
so they have to do with IMF is two | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
runs. An historic backside Cork but
couldn't get it around to land it. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:33 | |
It was all left to play for. I'm
starting to get really restless in | 0:09:33 | 0:09:39 | |
my seat now. Me too. Torgeir
Bergrem, drops in switch. Oh, and | 0:09:39 | 0:09:50 | |
he's dropped it! He's such an
incredible snowboarder, but he | 0:09:50 | 0:09:56 | |
battles with consistency and the
biggest stages. So, one of the | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
biggest threats to Billy Morgan's
bronze medal position is out of the | 0:10:00 | 0:10:06 | |
way.
OK, Iraq is about to drop and this | 0:10:06 | 0:10:11 | |
could be the difference to Billy
Morgan between a bronze medal and a | 0:10:11 | 0:10:16 | |
fourth place. -- ten and are to | 0:10:16 | 0:10:22 | |
fourth place. -- ten and are to draw
the whole of the UK needs to watch | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
this jump now. Of course they will
watch it through their eyes! The | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
whole of the UK needs to watch it
through their fingers, I am beside | 0:10:30 | 0:10:35 | |
myself. I can't watch it. I'm torn
between my friend in bronze medal | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
position and one of the best
snowboarders in the world about to | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
try and do business here. Let's make
no mistake about it, he is here for | 0:10:43 | 0:10:51 | |
gold. Not here for anything else.
Coming in normal, cab. Oh no, he's | 0:10:51 | 0:10:59 | |
gone! What?! How has he choked on a
jump he has dominated through | 0:10:59 | 0:11:09 | |
qualifying and practice?
Billy Morgan is a bronze medal | 0:11:09 | 0:11:14 | |
Olympian! CHEERING
So, the medals are settled. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:20 | |
We said it was a long shot but Billy
Morgan will go home with a bronze | 0:11:20 | 0:11:25 | |
medal. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:34 | |
medal. Well done, you! Oh my God
Billy Morgan, you legend! | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
medal. Well done, you! Oh my God
Billy Morgan, you legend! What a | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
wild ride that was. What are you
thinking right this second? I don't | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
really know, it's wild. I had such a
bad training and fell on the first | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
backflip, I thought it was game
over. I went into the rest of the | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
runs thinking I hope I don't fall
over three times and everyone will | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
be devastated at home. All my mates
are in a bar at home watching. I was | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
thinking I will fall over three
times... I never expected it. If you | 0:12:00 | 0:12:05 | |
come into the contest thinking I'm
shooting for a medal, you are ready | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
for it, but I just didn't. Two weeks
ago would you have thought that, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
with your knee injury? No. I said in
the interviews I be stoked if I make | 0:12:12 | 0:12:18 | |
the finals. Happy days. Jenny Jones,
who showed the way along with the | 0:12:18 | 0:12:25 | |
Billy Morgan. An Olympic bronze
medallist, how do you sum that up? | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
Well done, Billy! Don't know what to
say! It's the way he did it and the | 0:12:29 | 0:12:36 | |
shock. How big a surprise visit that
Max Parrot didn't manage to land two | 0:12:36 | 0:12:42 | |
good jumps? Yes, you heard them say,
Max Parrot has these tricks on the | 0:12:42 | 0:12:48 | |
block. He's very robotic and never
makes any errors. The pressure | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
obviously got Tim. He face planted,
which makes it even more impressive | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
that Billy, was first jump, I
thought they were very harsh, the | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
judges. He didn't fall over until
way after he landed. The judges, if | 0:13:00 | 0:13:06 | |
you look like you are out of control
when you land, the judges will keep | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
their eye on you and keep on and
make sure, if you stay on your feet, | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
great but Billy Ben Funnell over.
This year, just washed out. -- Billy | 0:13:13 | 0:13:21 | |
then fell over. Sometimes with
adrenaline, it can do that to you. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
You attack the jump far too fast. As
he said, he didn't want to fall over | 0:13:25 | 0:13:31 | |
three times because all his mates
were watching. It is easy to do that | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
in all of these, the poor side of
things, scheme or free styling, easy | 0:13:34 | 0:13:40 | |
to try too hard downfall on your
backside. Absolutely. I mean you | 0:13:40 | 0:13:45 | |
come in under so much pressure. You
are exposed to so many different | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
elements, the wind, ice, anything
can change anyone not just | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
concentrating on just that trick you
are trying to do, like as amazing as | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
it is, but also gauging and making
split-second decisions as it comes | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
at you, live. You know? It's just
amazing. A good second jump. From | 0:14:02 | 0:14:10 | |
Billy, but the Fed jump was the one
that gave him the score that moved | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
him up and do the medals. It's talk
us through this. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
him up and do the medals. It's talk
us through this. This trick here is | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
a very new trick to believe. He only
landed it once outside the | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
competition. This is the first time
he has ever landed it in competition | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
boss that you can tell how excited
he is. Absolutely stoked. He has | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
gone for a double grab here, which
is very unusual. Judges will reward | 0:14:30 | 0:14:36 | |
it highly. He landed it quite deep
down the landing, again. Managing to | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
fight to stay on his feet. Is that
his gymnastic skills that enable | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
him? You said he went so high on the
second jump, Bradley didn't need to | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
go as big as he went? I think Billy,
he's like a cat, he always lands on | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
his feet. He is very, very good at
doing it and he knows his aerial | 0:14:55 | 0:15:00 | |
awareness. Gymnastics have massively
helped Billy. In his grip on he's | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
been very good like that. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
helped Billy. In his grip on he's
been very good like that. At 28, the | 0:15:05 | 0:15:06 | |
oldest guy in that competition. How
much respect is there for him, in | 0:15:06 | 0:15:11 | |
the general Olympic world and your
world? It is amazing, so good to see | 0:15:11 | 0:15:19 | |
Billy doing well. We are biased but
that is huge for him. That was a | 0:15:19 | 0:15:28 | |
gnarly trip, I mean dangerous. He
comes out of that and it is | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
completely blind. You can have the
best awareness but inches closer to | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
the snow, it is completely lined
going in. He did not get on snow | 0:15:37 | 0:15:45 | |
until he was 17, really late. This
is some of his training. There was a | 0:15:45 | 0:15:50 | |
good feature about him awhile back.
You can see how strong he is. Do | 0:15:50 | 0:15:59 | |
guys he competes against have this
background? Not really. It is quite | 0:15:59 | 0:16:05 | |
new from a gymnastics side, coming
into this. Katie Ormerod, as well. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:12 | |
Coming from a gymnastics background.
It is odd, people usually come to | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
skiing and snowboarding from that
background. This opens up a new | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
spectrum of winter sports. A lot of
children in the UK do gymnastics. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
They do not have the facilities to
go snowboarding but if they can see | 0:16:27 | 0:16:32 | |
those skills they can take them to
the snow domes. This is what Billy's | 0:16:32 | 0:16:38 | |
friends and family will be
celebrating. The whole of Team GB. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
It means the 2018 Winter Olympics is
the best performance by a British | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
team in the history of the Winter
Olympics. It beats the four medals | 0:16:47 | 0:16:53 | |
in Sochi. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
Olympics. It beats the four medals
in Sochi. We will find out later in | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
the programme if it could rise to
six. We have the | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
the programme if it could rise to
six. We have the bronze medal match | 0:17:01 | 0:17:01 | |
in the curling coming up. Many
congratulations to those five. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:08 | |
Before that, this time last week
the most unlikely Winter Olympic | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
champion was so stunned
to win that she thought | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
the clock had broken. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
The multitalented Ester Ledecka | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
The multitalented Ester Ledecka is
next, the first-ever athlete to | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
compete in skiing and snowboarding
at an Olympics Winter Games. Nicely | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
done. Can Ester Ledecka mix things
up? Absolutely throwing it down. She | 0:17:28 | 0:17:37 | |
has done it. Surely that is the gold
medal. She cannot believe it. Ester | 0:17:37 | 0:17:47 | |
Ledecka is the Olympic super-G
Champion. What a fantastic story. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:53 | |
And genuinely not one | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
Champion. What a fantastic story.
And genuinely not one looked more | 0:17:55 | 0:17:56 | |
surprise after winning a gold medal
on skis after Ester Ledecka because | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
she arrived with a snowboarding
title her main aim. She is champion | 0:17:59 | 0:18:05 | |
at the women's parallel giant
slalom. The first athlete to compete | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
in skiing and snowboarding at the
same games. Could she be the first | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
woman to win a gold medal in
different sports at the same games? | 0:18:14 | 0:18:21 | |
Graham Bell has the low-down. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:27 | |
Alpine snowboarding came into the
Olympics in 98. The first ever | 0:18:27 | 0:18:34 | |
Olympic snowboard gold medallist.
Now raced in dual formats, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:41 | |
head-to-head racing, and exciting
competition. Ester Ledecka has made | 0:18:41 | 0:18:47 | |
it more exciting by winning a gold
medal in the Alpine skiing super-G. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
She will try to win a gold medal in
snowboarding, the first athlete to | 0:18:52 | 0:18:57 | |
do that in different sports that are
Winter Games. She will make history | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
if she achieves that. And we have
the home favourite. The crowds will | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
be out in force to cheer on the
Korean will stop Ester Ledecka | 0:19:07 | 0:19:15 | |
cannot be thinking about the final.
She has to keep the focus and | 0:19:15 | 0:19:21 | |
concentration and keep the speed.
This could be history in the making. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
concentration and keep the speed.
This could be history in the making. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
It looks to me like the German has
the lead. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:36 | |
the lead. The German sat down. She
recovered but still ahead. They are | 0:19:40 | 0:19:46 | |
back to back but cannot see each
other so well. It looks to me like | 0:19:46 | 0:19:52 | |
Ester Ledecka has believed. And the
German is down. Ester Ledecka is | 0:19:52 | 0:19:58 | |
through to the Olympics final. Will
it be a gold medal or silver? That | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
is the question. Whatever happens,
Ester Ledecka is a double Olympic | 0:20:02 | 0:20:11 | |
medallist. In the other semifinal
the Russian Alena Zavarzina was up | 0:20:11 | 0:20:26 | |
against Selina Joerg. But it did not
last long. Selina Joerg through to | 0:20:26 | 0:20:34 | |
her first final at a Winter Games. I
can hear Lee Sangho being chanted. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:44 | |
This is the men's parallel giant
slalom | 0:20:44 | 0:20:52 | |
slalom at all of Korea expects. He
got a good pull-out. Slightly | 0:20:52 | 0:20:58 | |
behind. Taking a conservative line
at the top of the course. 0.4 five. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:04 | |
That is a long way back. He will
have to go for it. Needs to carry | 0:21:04 | 0:21:10 | |
speed. To flat. And the Swiss is
looking good. Coming over the last | 0:21:10 | 0:21:20 | |
now. Can Lee Sangho pull-out the
spectacular game? He did well last | 0:21:20 | 0:21:27 | |
time. Not this time. Switzerland
take the gold medal. Lee Sangho will | 0:21:27 | 0:21:36 | |
have to to settle for silver. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:43 | |
have to to settle for silver. That
is wonderful, Nevin Galmaini takes | 0:21:44 | 0:21:45 | |
the gold medal for Switzerland. Was
that extra pressure going up against | 0:21:45 | 0:21:51 | |
the local hero? I love it when the
crowd is going crazy. I knew from | 0:21:51 | 0:21:57 | |
Sochi when I was in finals against a
Russian, they were going crazy for | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
him. It was not a problem, I was
like yes, that is cool. Here we go, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:10 | |
the final and it is a matchup
between Selina Joerg and Ester | 0:22:10 | 0:22:18 | |
Ledecka. They are off and under way.
Ledecka on the red course and she | 0:22:18 | 0:22:28 | |
has the early lead. She is doing it.
One slip and it will go away. 15 | 0:22:28 | 0:22:36 | |
hundredths. A little bit of a slip.
They wobble on the under gate. Now | 0:22:36 | 0:22:46 | |
needs to pump out along the flat and
generate speed. Two tenths of a | 0:22:46 | 0:22:52 | |
second. 2.2 eight. Nice and smooth.
Ledecka is going to make history. | 0:22:52 | 0:23:02 | |
She has done it! Absolutely
incredible. It has never been done | 0:23:02 | 0:23:10 | |
before. Two sports in one Olympic
Games. What an athlete. This is very | 0:23:10 | 0:23:18 | |
specific, the race because you have
just one chance, not like the World | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
Cup when you have more races and in
the end it comes together. So you | 0:23:22 | 0:23:29 | |
need luck. I believe I had this luck
today. Ester Ledecka from the Czech | 0:23:29 | 0:23:35 | |
Republic makes history by becoming
the first person to win two gold | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
medals in different sports at the
Olympic Games. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:46 | |
Olympic Games. Gave up PGS. How | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
medals in different sports at the
Olympic Games. Gave up PGS. How | 0:23:48 | 0:23:49 | |
difficult is it for Hurtado? It has
to be incredibly difficult. I | 0:23:49 | 0:23:56 | |
competed in two disciplines but that
was on a snowboard. But to do | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
incredibly well in both of those...
Coming into this race, she was stone | 0:24:00 | 0:24:08 | |
cold favourite. She had a lot of
pressure on her shoulders. Ranked | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
number one coming in and had extra
media attention after the super-G | 0:24:12 | 0:24:17 | |
result and extra stuff going on in
her head. She handled the pressure | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
perfectly. Ledecka sets history. I
do not think we will see anything | 0:24:21 | 0:24:27 | |
like this again. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
do not think we will see anything
like this again. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:30 | |
STUDIO: She is the star of the games
and she says... | 0:24:30 | 0:24:37 | |
She has a habit after races
conducting interviews with her | 0:24:47 | 0:24:53 | |
goggles. Because she forgets her
make up bag. I thought I would wear | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
these for the rest of the show. I am
a skier, you are a snowboard. Could | 0:24:58 | 0:25:06 | |
you do a super-G and could I win
Olympic gold medal on a snowboard? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:12 | |
Absolutely not. If you put me on a
hill with skis and there was one | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
tree on the hill, I would hit the
tree. You cannot direct yourself on | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
skis? I am a terrible skier. People
think we both use body weight to | 0:25:20 | 0:25:30 | |
arc, that it is the same, but they
are totally different. We cannot | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
explain how different they are. I
could snowboard badly. What she has | 0:25:35 | 0:25:42 | |
achieved, and has dedicated so much
time and energy on this. Her coach | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
said you must focus on one
discipline. She does three weeks of | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
skiing followed by three weeks of
snowboarding, followed by three | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
weeks in skiing. How mental is that?
Wishy won the super-G, she said you | 0:25:54 | 0:26:01 | |
are taking away my training time for
snowboarding. Looking at her in the | 0:26:01 | 0:26:07 | |
final, she is dominant | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
snowboarding. Looking at her in the
final, she is dominant and she | 0:26:09 | 0:26:10 | |
always looks beautifully in control.
It really is a wonderful thing to | 0:26:10 | 0:26:15 | |
watch. Is the red course quicker.
Everybody chose the red course and | 0:26:15 | 0:26:24 | |
takes the timings from qualifying.
She skied on the red course all day | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
and was comfortable on that. What I
have noticed, her flow, she lets the | 0:26:28 | 0:26:34 | |
snowboard go, which is what she did
on the skis. She is smooth on the | 0:26:34 | 0:26:39 | |
edge control. From gate to gate. She
is not making errors. What I have | 0:26:39 | 0:26:46 | |
seen people do that day. Taking it
smoothly and that seems to be the | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
seen people do that day. Taking it
smoothly and that seems to be the | 0:26:50 | 0:26:50 | |
best way. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
best way. The speed skater did short
track and long track and won medals | 0:26:55 | 0:27:00 | |
at this games but not two gold
medals. And I have seen Rebecca | 0:27:00 | 0:27:05 | |
Romero transitioning from rowing to
cycling at different games. Two | 0:27:05 | 0:27:13 | |
Norwegians achieved it but back in
the 1920s with the modern era it is | 0:27:13 | 0:27:19 | |
special when everybody specialises
because it is so competitive. Does | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
it change the philosophy, seen her
do this will inspire people to go, I | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
can do other things? It is testament
to how focused someone is. I see it | 0:27:27 | 0:27:35 | |
and think it is amazing. The
opportunity to have two goes is | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
amazing. I don't know whether that
is more pressure or less pressure. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:48 | |
Sometimes we see it with the pipe
guys who do slopestyle. I think you | 0:27:48 | 0:27:57 | |
saw at the last games, Torah Bright,
who tried to do slopestyle. But it | 0:27:57 | 0:28:03 | |
diminished her achievements in each
because she focused on too much. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
Credit to Ester Ledecka because it
is an amazing achievement, two gold | 0:28:07 | 0:28:12 | |
medals in different sports. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:13 | |
Of the four new events at this
years Winter Olympics, | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
three were on show today. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:17 | |
The snowboard big air,
the mass start speed skating, | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
more of that later, and the mixed
team event in the alpine skiing. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
It's quite confusing, so Chemmy,
can talk you through this one. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:30 | |
The first-ever Alpine team event
makes its Olympic debut. Alpine is | 0:28:32 | 0:28:37 | |
usually a solo sport. Here, each
nation comes together, teams of | 0:28:37 | 0:28:44 | |
four, two men and two women, attempt
to beat each other head-to-head, | 0:28:44 | 0:28:48 | |
unless it is a draw and then the two
fastest combined times count. A | 0:28:48 | 0:28:56 | |
courageous victory for Team GB
against the Americans in the first | 0:28:56 | 0:29:00 | |
round. Great Britain versus Norway.
For a place in the semifinal of the | 0:29:00 | 0:29:06 | |
inaugural Alpine team event.
A tough draw against a favourite. It | 0:29:06 | 0:29:11 | |
went to a tie-break but agonisingly,
the British quartet came up short. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:17 | |
Great Britain and Northern Ireland
are out. Time for the semifinals at | 0:29:17 | 0:29:23 | |
the | 0:29:23 | 0:29:29 | |
the Alpine team event.
A battle of some of the giants of | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
Alpine skiing. The Austrian team
dominated the Norwegians in the | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
first semifinal, posting faster
times in three of the four runs, | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
sending them to the big final. The
Swiss team made the last two with a | 0:29:37 | 0:29:44 | |
convincing victory over France. In
the bronze medal match, Norway beat | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
France to historically take their
38th medal of this Olympics, passing | 0:29:48 | 0:29:53 | |
the US record total of 37 set in
2010. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:58 | |
Now they do battle for the goal
metal. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:07 | |
metal. Halfway down the course --
gold medal. She stays on her feet, | 0:30:07 | 0:30:13 | |
she will give Austria a 1-0 lead. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
These are both medallists in the
Olympic slalom, going head-to-head. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:28 | |
It is 1-1 in the final. Simultaneous
start. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:34 | |
It is 1-1 in the final. Simultaneous
start. Jetted out of the turn and | 0:30:34 | 0:30:43 | |
there is a half gate lead as they
come off the lift. Can't overhaul | 0:30:43 | 0:30:53 | |
Wendy's lead. Switzerland has a 2-1
advantage. The last race of the | 0:30:53 | 0:31:01 | |
Alpine ski racing programme, for the
gold medal in the inaugural event. A | 0:31:01 | 0:31:08 | |
better start from Austria.
Switzerland lead but I do live in | 0:31:08 | 0:31:13 | |
one. Is he in front? I think he is,
and France are struggling. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:22 | |
Switzerland in front. Schwarzer has
gone out and Daniel Thorpe can | 0:31:22 | 0:31:26 | |
cruise through. Switzerland are the
Olympic champions! They have | 0:31:26 | 0:31:33 | |
defeated their all-time rivals,
Austria, and they take the | 0:31:33 | 0:31:37 | |
first-ever gold medal in the Alpine
team event. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:48 | |
Bronze busts, Eve Muirhead's curlers
face Japan with an Olympic medal on | 0:31:51 | 0:31:56 | |
the line. And feel the rhythm,
watched the time, how fast can the | 0:31:56 | 0:32:00 | |
British teams go in-run one and two
of the four man Bob. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:07 | |
You legend! It has been a very good
24 hours. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:36 | |
So, Ben Kilner makes way for Olympic
silver medal winning skip | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
David Murdoch and that means it's
time to go curling. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
Everyone is doing it everywhere, and
they have all been here before. If | 0:33:00 | 0:33:07 | |
they can repeat their bronze medal
match when of four years ago they | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
would become only the fourth British
multi-medallists at Winter Games, as | 0:33:10 | 0:33:16 | |
well as extending the team | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
hall to six. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
Here is Paddy Geary. The bronze | 0:33:21 | 0:33:22 | |
Here is Paddy Geary. The bronze
medal match is a psychological test | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
as much as a sporting one. After
all, you are only here because | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
something went wrong. Eve Muirhead's
quest for gold ends here in this | 0:33:28 | 0:33:34 | |
semifinal. Absolutely gutted. We've
trained hard for the last three or | 0:33:34 | 0:33:38 | |
four years to be in that position
and unfortunately today we were | 0:33:38 | 0:33:42 | |
outplayed. But the team could draw
confidence from experience, they won | 0:33:42 | 0:33:45 | |
bronze four years ago, and beat
Japan four days ago, they could do | 0:33:45 | 0:33:52 | |
this but actually doing it, that's
different. Great Britain versus | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
Japan! And Eve and her team ready to
go and they need to be at their | 0:33:56 | 0:34:04 | |
best.
It was soon clear how tight this | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
match be, in such cases the score
key is not to score, to keep the | 0:34:07 | 0:34:12 | |
last shot, the hammer for when
things open up. But Eve Muirhead's | 0:34:12 | 0:34:16 | |
stones weren't always following the
strategy stopped about that is one | 0:34:16 | 0:34:19 | |
for Great Britain but not quite the
start that Eve Muirhead wanted. End | 0:34:19 | 0:34:26 | |
five, the last before the break, in
the stony stalemate a tiny window | 0:34:26 | 0:34:30 | |
appeared for Eve, a chance for two.
She has a chance here, past the | 0:34:30 | 0:34:36 | |
first one, past the second one,
needs to Norwich that. That is | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
unlikely, that is very unlucky. --
needs to nudge that. Get one but not | 0:34:40 | 0:34:46 | |
two. Great Britain 3-2 up, time for
calm words, Cuba coach. -- | 0:34:46 | 0:34:57 | |
the faith shed on the stand-by
brothers and mothers stop to it is a | 0:34:57 | 0:35:03 | |
good game so far, fingers crossed.
The girls are positive and doing | 0:35:03 | 0:35:06 | |
well. How other nerves watching your
sister? Hellish, I'm not coping very | 0:35:06 | 0:35:12 | |
well at all. I'm more nervous up
here in the stands and I am down | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
there on the ice. What do they have
to do to is get the bronze? Be | 0:35:15 | 0:35:23 | |
patient, work well, get all the
shots and they will get there in the | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
end.
It only got more tense, this was | 0:35:26 | 0:35:32 | |
nervy. Binary curving after the ones
and zeros, as Japan kept the hammer | 0:35:32 | 0:35:36 | |
in their pocket. They both want to
have the medal around the neck and | 0:35:36 | 0:35:42 | |
both had to step it up a little. 3-2
going into end eight and everyone | 0:35:42 | 0:35:47 | |
knew it might be settled by
mistakes, however small. We need to | 0:35:47 | 0:35:51 | |
hit and stick. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:57 | |
Stay, stay...
Japan finally took one, 3-3, | 0:35:57 | 0:36:04 | |
Britain's hammer and this match of
knotted tension was starting to | 0:36:04 | 0:36:08 | |
unravel.
Eve Muirhead, then, trying to catch | 0:36:08 | 0:36:13 | |
this pretty much on the nose, her
own red. Running back onto the | 0:36:13 | 0:36:17 | |
yellow. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
No, no, no. Well, the only thing
that has done is given her a chance | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
of a blank den. Cleared everything
out the house, they had to wait for | 0:36:28 | 0:36:33 | |
that to come. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:35 | |
We have seen in the earlier ends
where we thought we were heading for | 0:36:39 | 0:36:46 | |
a blank den, a straightforward
removal of the stone but she has | 0:36:46 | 0:36:49 | |
done well to get this in. A little
indecision is there on what to do | 0:36:49 | 0:36:53 | |
with this. Why not two things are
going to happen here. Either Eve | 0:36:53 | 0:36:57 | |
gets a blank or we'll end up
sticking this red in the house to | 0:36:57 | 0:37:02 | |
end up with 81. Even if you give
away anyone here, you have the | 0:37:02 | 0:37:09 | |
hammer in the last end, having the
hammer is key at the moment. If it's | 0:37:09 | 0:37:16 | |
blank this end, it would be great.
Oh, Eve! | 0:37:16 | 0:37:20 | |
Japan had stolen and lead going into
that final end. The last shot would | 0:37:20 | 0:37:25 | |
be Eve's but every Japanese stones
reduced the margins they could work | 0:37:25 | 0:37:31 | |
within. If we get inside and that
once lost, you shut up shop. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:38 | |
Don't forget, one and we are into an
extra end, two and Great Britain | 0:37:38 | 0:37:43 | |
win. Anything else, the bronze medal
goes to Japan. So Eve Muirhead, | 0:37:43 | 0:37:50 | |
then, penultimate stone, trying to
put the pressure on and get herself | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
the opportunity and the two. It has
to come round the second yellow and | 0:37:53 | 0:37:58 | |
tries it on top of that other one,
try and count. It's been a good | 0:37:58 | 0:38:03 | |
effort from Eve Muirhead but she has
tapped her own back. A good shot. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:10 | |
Tucked in a little bit. The final
stone, trying to join in. She has | 0:38:10 | 0:38:19 | |
been superb all through this match,
Fujisawa. What has she delivered for | 0:38:19 | 0:38:24 | |
them here? Is it the chance that
this bronze medal? They have never | 0:38:24 | 0:38:28 | |
won medal. Eve Muirhead still with
eight home to go -- stone to go. It | 0:38:28 | 0:38:32 | |
is turning a lot, it might just
catch the yellow. It goes by the not | 0:38:32 | 0:38:36 | |
quite enough. May have blocked the
way in. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:41 | |
The Stones spelt out the choice,
taking one were safer and would | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
force an extra end but Japan would
have the hammer. The other option | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
was to go for two and risk
everything. Eve put it all on red, | 0:38:48 | 0:38:55 | |
bronze or bust. She has to hit this
yellow and the other red, hope it | 0:38:55 | 0:38:59 | |
jams, it has to sit right, and it's
not. Oh, my goodness! And that means | 0:38:59 | 0:39:05 | |
the bronze medal goes to Japan.
Their first-ever medal in curling. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:10 | |
Eve Muirhead had the chance to win
it, it didn't come off and Great | 0:39:10 | 0:39:16 | |
Britain will go home empty-handed.
Cannot believe that after all of | 0:39:16 | 0:39:22 | |
this, Eve Muirhead and the team have
nothing. I'm absolutely devastated, | 0:39:22 | 0:39:28 | |
I'm gutted, gutted for myself, my
team. It's been a long journey | 0:39:28 | 0:39:33 | |
I'm gutted, gutted for myself, my
team. It's been a long journey these | 0:39:33 | 0:39:34 | |
last four years. Unfortunately we
are going to be going home with no | 0:39:34 | 0:39:37 | |
medals this time. We had the chance
for the win and we were all in on | 0:39:37 | 0:39:43 | |
the one shot we were going to play
and unfortunately we were on the | 0:39:43 | 0:39:47 | |
wrong side this time. I'd love to be
able to come back to another | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
Olympics but it will take a bit of
time to reflect and we will see what | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
the future holds. Hopefully you will
see my face again. | 0:39:53 | 0:40:00 | |
We certainly hope so. They were so
brave in the immediate aftermath. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
You know what that feels like? Yes.
Semifinal loss... I loss the bronze | 0:40:03 | 0:40:11 | |
medal in 2006, probably the hardest
part is to go and speak to the media | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
afterwards, because you feel
brutalised yourself. You have lost | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
the medal you have tried so hard
for, worked extremely hard for as | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
well and you have to deal with that,
deal with the aftermath. It was a | 0:40:21 | 0:40:26 | |
very cool end. If M3 map like that
shot Genji would probably try and do | 0:40:26 | 0:40:32 | |
the same thing, win the match, when
the medal. -- a very cruel thing. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:38 | |
Absolutely. You have an opportunity
to win the game, and here is Eve | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
through this shot. She will probably
done it many times in practice and | 0:40:42 | 0:40:48 | |
done it every time. She was right to
nominate their shot to go for. If it | 0:40:48 | 0:40:52 | |
curled a little more, it would spin
out and you would see the two other | 0:40:52 | 0:40:55 | |
reds and she would win the game.
You're talking maybe 1-3 millimetres | 0:40:55 | 0:41:00 | |
more coal on the draw and they would
have had a bronze medal. Such a slow | 0:41:00 | 0:41:05 | |
build watching the match on fold and
it was incremental gains by each. It | 0:41:05 | 0:41:09 | |
seemed so tight and then suddenly it
was over. The momentum slowly | 0:41:09 | 0:41:14 | |
building, we were chatting the same
way saying if she does this, if she | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
does this, if the Japanese comeback
with this... Suddenly they made a | 0:41:17 | 0:41:21 | |
mistake, we thought and Eve had the
opportunity but then it over. Very | 0:41:21 | 0:41:24 | |
much a cagey affair, a tonne of
pressure. It was for a bronze medal | 0:41:24 | 0:41:30 | |
at the Olympic Games, something you
have trained hard for. It didn't go | 0:41:30 | 0:41:34 | |
their way, they didn't get in front,
Friar enough ahead to get | 0:41:34 | 0:41:38 | |
comfortable on the pressure built up
towards the end. When we watched it | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
this morning, you said a few times,
Eve looks nervous. She didn't look | 0:41:41 | 0:41:45 | |
the sort of strong and confident
decisive Eve Muirhead we know. You | 0:41:45 | 0:41:51 | |
know how much is on the line. It is
tough to go out there and play that | 0:41:51 | 0:41:56 | |
game, because they wanted the gold
medal. The loss from the Sweden game | 0:41:56 | 0:42:01 | |
in the semifinal may be carried over
a little bit. It is hard to know. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:06 | |
They are guilty mates, you know
them, you are out there with them, | 0:42:06 | 0:42:10 | |
you have to feel their pain?
Absolutely. I mean, I came forth as | 0:42:10 | 0:42:14 | |
well, but for me it was very much
like I want to put on a good show | 0:42:14 | 0:42:18 | |
and it all happened so quickly, I
just said in the curling its a very | 0:42:18 | 0:42:24 | |
legitimate time to use the term
winning bronze. They had it all come | 0:42:24 | 0:42:29 | |
down on their shoulders. I feel for
them but a banging show throughout | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
the week. Absolutely, terrific
performance. They will be backing | 0:42:33 | 0:42:37 | |
four years' time. Sometimes that
feeling of unfinished business can | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
be a big motivator. In the final of
the men's curling, US were complete | 0:42:40 | 0:42:44 | |
outsiders coming into this
competition and up against the world | 0:42:44 | 0:42:48 | |
number one skip from Sweden to stop
it was a very tight affair. We will | 0:42:48 | 0:42:53 | |
join at 5-5 in the eighth end. As
you will see, the Americans have the | 0:42:53 | 0:42:57 | |
hammer. | 0:42:57 | 0:42:59 | |
Oscar Eriksson looking on. Rejected
from their programme after the last | 0:43:04 | 0:43:11 | |
Olympics, has a chance to win here
in the eighth, a great chance, and | 0:43:11 | 0:43:16 | |
they both go. It is going to be five
for the USA. They look at the | 0:43:16 | 0:43:22 | |
opposition, high fives all round. In
the stands they are going crazy. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:31 | |
Just watching Nicola Sedin, they are
wondering what to do. Surely this is | 0:43:31 | 0:43:41 | |
the United States's medal now. What
a turnaround in this match, what a | 0:43:41 | 0:43:46 | |
story this would be in the curling,
and look at that. STUDIO: Ivanka | 0:43:46 | 0:43:55 | |
Trump among the American fans
cheering on, Donald Trump was my | 0:43:55 | 0:43:57 | |
daughter. A real shocker. The five
point at which was decisive meant | 0:43:57 | 0:44:01 | |
they were 10-7 winners. The first
gold medal in curling. Mr teed their | 0:44:01 | 0:44:07 | |
biggest fan took to Twitter to
congratulate them. A very good | 0:44:07 | 0:44:09 | |
hashtag. Yeah... Curling his cool,
fool! | 0:44:09 | 0:44:24 | |
Now to the four-man bob on Team GB
have two | 0:44:35 | 0:44:37 | |
Now to the four-man bob on Team GB
have two chances in this, one | 0:44:37 | 0:44:41 | |
piloted by Lamin Deen on the other
by Larry. Meesha McNeill and nation | 0:44:41 | 0:44:45 | |
of it achieved the best finish of
eighth, despite their funding the | 0:44:45 | 0:44:50 | |
British bobsleigh having been
dropped. -- Mica McNeill. All the | 0:44:50 | 0:44:55 | |
support gone towards a mental
sublets if that money was well | 0:44:55 | 0:44:57 | |
spent. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:58 | |
These are both medallists in the
Olympic slalom, going head-to-head. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:06 | |
Welcome to the Alpensia sliding
centre for the last time. This time | 0:45:08 | 0:45:13 | |
it is the four-man bob. The biggest
and earliest event of the lot. Great | 0:45:13 | 0:45:19 | |
Britain has a proud history in the
four-man bob, not least from Sochi, | 0:45:19 | 0:45:24 | |
and we are hoping that will be
upgraded to a bronze medal. We have | 0:45:24 | 0:45:31 | |
two four-man bobs piloted by Brad
Hall and Lamin Deen. They are ranked | 0:45:31 | 0:45:35 | |
in the teams in the world but they
are expecting to start shopping. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:49 | |
Lamin Deen's first run was a
disappointment, putting him only 19. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:55 | |
The world ranked number 12 Brad Hall
fared little better. Getting to | 0:45:55 | 0:46:02 | |
16th. Justin Kripps had struck gold
in the two-man bob and put himself | 0:46:02 | 0:46:07 | |
in fifth place and the fringe of
another medal. Nico Walther's team | 0:46:07 | 0:46:18 | |
included one of the legendary
figures of world man bobsleigh. A | 0:46:18 | 0:46:23 | |
polished effort. The Korean team
took advantage of being first away | 0:46:23 | 0:46:29 | |
with a blistering 48.65 to take
second place. Germany's Francesco | 0:46:29 | 0:46:39 | |
Friedrich shared gold with Justin
Kripps in the two-man bob. A | 0:46:39 | 0:46:44 | |
fantastic 48.50 four. Down to earth
with a bump for both of the British. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:53 | |
Back to the start for run two and we
are hopeful we can get into the | 0:46:53 | 0:46:57 | |
competition proper. For Great
Britain, Lamin Deen. He has not been | 0:46:57 | 0:47:05 | |
driving well. Another mistake.
Starting 16th ahead of the American | 0:47:05 | 0:47:11 | |
team coming in. Lamin Deen will stay
in 19th at worst. Next to go for | 0:47:11 | 0:47:22 | |
Great Britain, Brad Hall. These
little differences cost time. This | 0:47:22 | 0:47:27 | |
track is easy to lose speed but hard
to find it and he will drop back one | 0:47:27 | 0:47:33 | |
or two spots. The run is not
particularly happy. Regular mistakes | 0:47:33 | 0:47:38 | |
early for Brad Hall. 49.68 is quite
a lot slower than run number one. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:49 | |
Not a great results. Joint gold
medallists in the two-man bob. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:53 | |
Justin Kripps and his partner. They
know the track so well. This is a | 0:47:53 | 0:48:00 | |
good run. Might be done to one tenth
and less than that. He lost quite a | 0:48:00 | 0:48:08 | |
lot. Eight hundredths. He holds a
slender lead. Three big ones. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:17 | |
Germany, Nico Walther. An absolute
magician. He can find speed in the | 0:48:17 | 0:48:24 | |
track where nobody else can. B is
moving in the right direction and | 0:48:24 | 0:48:28 | |
pulling away from the others behind
him. -- he is moving. Holding | 0:48:28 | 0:48:34 | |
Speedwell down towards the finish
and goes ahead of Justin Kripps by | 0:48:34 | 0:48:39 | |
two tenths of a second. Now the
pressure is on. The Korean team had | 0:48:39 | 0:48:46 | |
a brilliant run one, but they went
first. You can hardly hear them | 0:48:46 | 0:48:51 | |
coming through the corners because
he knows the track well. | 0:48:51 | 0:49:02 | |
he knows the track well. The gap
might close. Just a little bit. Won | 0:49:02 | 0:49:07 | |
Junyong has done brilliantly for
Korea and tomorrow on the medals | 0:49:07 | 0:49:11 | |
chase they are in the thick of
things. Look at what it means to the | 0:49:11 | 0:49:15 | |
hometown team. A big run from the
Koreans. Francesco Friedrich goes | 0:49:15 | 0:49:23 | |
for Germany. The current leaders. We
know he is fast because he has | 0:49:23 | 0:49:27 | |
already won a gold medal. You can
hardly hear him so you no he has the | 0:49:27 | 0:49:33 | |
line is perfect. A great chance of a
gold medal. Look what it meant to | 0:49:33 | 0:49:39 | |
the coaching team. Francesco
Friedrich with a big lead over Won | 0:49:39 | 0:49:44 | |
Junyong of South Korea. Nico Walther
sitting third. This is developing | 0:49:44 | 0:49:50 | |
into an underwhelming competition
for Great Britain. Are you surprised | 0:49:50 | 0:49:55 | |
to be where you are? Definitely. We
had a big surprise a couple of days | 0:49:55 | 0:50:01 | |
ago with equipment, a technicality,
a back runner. Rules are rules and | 0:50:01 | 0:50:06 | |
we had to change. We could not test
the sets we wanted to test but that | 0:50:06 | 0:50:11 | |
is how it is. We have been driving
well but the kit has not got us down | 0:50:11 | 0:50:16 | |
the track fast enough. We were
scratching our heads, thinking what | 0:50:16 | 0:50:21 | |
is going wrong? We have to carry on.
Two more runs, we will push as fast | 0:50:21 | 0:50:27 | |
as we can. The two British well back
in the field. John Jackson, how do | 0:50:27 | 0:50:35 | |
you feel today went? Not very well
from a British perspective. They | 0:50:35 | 0:50:40 | |
have had podiums this year but on
form leading into this, yes, it is | 0:50:40 | 0:50:46 | |
where it is. Anyway back into the
top ten even? No chance, maybe top | 0:50:46 | 0:50:52 | |
15 at best. Right, run three and
four tomorrow and we will be here to | 0:50:52 | 0:50:58 | |
see it | 0:50:58 | 0:50:59 | |
four tomorrow and we will be here to
see it through to the end. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:02 | |
STUDIO: A dejected John Jackson. He
looks angry. We have Nicola | 0:51:02 | 0:51:08 | |
Minichiello and skeleton gold
medallist from Vancouver Amy | 0:51:08 | 0:51:12 | |
Williams. How embarrassing is 17th
and 18th after two runs? | 0:51:12 | 0:51:20 | |
and 18th after two runs? It is
terrible. Egg on the face. After | 0:51:21 | 0:51:27 | |
having £5 million of investment over
the last four years. The results | 0:51:27 | 0:51:31 | |
were there in the early part of the
season. You do not know why it | 0:51:31 | 0:51:36 | |
happened. At this point it is not
good enough. How can you not have a | 0:51:36 | 0:51:43 | |
spare set of runners? I am confused,
you would normally have several | 0:51:43 | 0:51:47 | |
pairs, whether it is hard, cold ice,
softer ice. And on top of that | 0:51:47 | 0:51:53 | |
another spare pair just in case.
Runners are checked all the time. At | 0:51:53 | 0:51:58 | |
major championships they will be
picky about one millimetre out so | 0:51:58 | 0:52:02 | |
why if you knew they were slightly
on the edge why not bring another | 0:52:02 | 0:52:07 | |
set? We have funding to do that and
their target was two top fives and | 0:52:07 | 0:52:13 | |
they have been on the podium at
different times last season. They | 0:52:13 | 0:52:17 | |
have proved they have the skills and
talent. What I find hard, days ago | 0:52:17 | 0:52:23 | |
they did not know who would be...
Each driver did not know the three | 0:52:23 | 0:52:27 | |
men behind them. You look at the
Germans, Canadians and Americans, | 0:52:27 | 0:52:32 | |
you do not swat teams around. They
were in sync with each other, every | 0:52:32 | 0:52:39 | |
split second. Four big guys jumping
into the bobsleigh. You have to be | 0:52:39 | 0:52:44 | |
in perfect sync. To me, there
started scruffy. Loading in they | 0:52:44 | 0:52:48 | |
were taking their time. What do you
think needs to happen next because | 0:52:48 | 0:52:55 | |
there will be a big enquiry? There
has to be. Questions have to be | 0:52:55 | 0:53:00 | |
asked, what has gone wrong? We saw
it with the Germans four years ago, | 0:53:00 | 0:53:05 | |
they went away with a disaster, no
medals. Underperformance, and they | 0:53:05 | 0:53:11 | |
launched an investigation. How do
they fix it? Newsletter, team, | 0:53:11 | 0:53:18 | |
staff, new athletes. And they put it
back together -- new sleds. Looks | 0:53:18 | 0:53:28 | |
likely they will get a gold medal
and in the skeleton. I have faith in | 0:53:28 | 0:53:35 | |
the team. Brad Hall is the new top
guy coming up and he has promise and | 0:53:35 | 0:53:40 | |
has shone through. If we can get
these little things together and we | 0:53:40 | 0:53:43 | |
learned it at the games
unfortunately, now we have four | 0:53:43 | 0:53:48 | |
years ahead. I feel we can do it in
the bobsleigh. The third and fourth | 0:53:48 | 0:53:54 | |
rounds to come tonight and in the
morning. Mrs Paddy now with the rest | 0:53:54 | 0:53:57 | |
of the medals. -- this is Paddy.
Canada should not be here. This | 0:53:57 | 0:54:07 | |
match is a strange world for gold
medallists at | 0:54:07 | 0:54:11 | |
match is a strange world for gold
medallists at the last two games but | 0:54:11 | 0:54:12 | |
after being shocked in the
semifinal, they beat Czech Republic | 0:54:12 | 0:54:18 | |
6-4 to secure third place. The mass
start cross country is the realm of | 0:54:18 | 0:54:23 | |
the iron men, skiing at its most
gruelling. Finland had been waiting | 0:54:23 | 0:54:27 | |
for its first gold medal. So plenty
of pride. His coach put it down to | 0:54:27 | 0:54:37 | |
what the Finns call fighting spirit.
And a new event at the Olympics, | 0:54:37 | 0:54:44 | |
mass start speed skating is known as
Nascar on ice. The women's race had | 0:54:44 | 0:54:50 | |
a high octane finish. The sprint is
on. The Japanese is going to get it. | 0:54:50 | 0:54:55 | |
On the line. A second gold medal of
the games after her success with | 0:54:55 | 0:55:01 | |
Japan in the team pursuit. And if
the mass start look to pick up a | 0:55:01 | 0:55:05 | |
following, the men's race did the
job with the home favourite being | 0:55:05 | 0:55:10 | |
the gold | 0:55:10 | 0:55:16 | |
the gold medal favourite and he
lived up to the hype. The first | 0:55:17 | 0:55:19 | |
Olympic champion in the mass sprint
is a Korean. That gold medal take | 0:55:19 | 0:55:23 | |
taxes haul up to five Olympic
medals. | 0:55:23 | 0:55:27 | |
No golds for Norway or Germany
for second day running, | 0:55:27 | 0:55:29 | |
so they are still on 13. | 0:55:29 | 0:55:32 | |
Three medals today for South Korea -
takes them to 15, a record for them, | 0:55:32 | 0:55:37 | |
with a gold or silver to come
from the women's curling tonight. | 0:55:37 | 0:55:40 | |
There is Team GB in 18th spot. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:42 | |

Despite no British success
in the curling, kids | 0:56:17 | 0:56:18 | |
are still enjoying giving it
a go at home... | 0:56:18 | 0:56:26 | |
The Bassetlaw swim squad
are practising mass start skeleton. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:32 | |

Settle down kids! Always wear your
helmets at home. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:52 | |
Now, red-hot, ice-cold. The Swedish

Now, red-hot, ice-cold. The Swedish

this for a getup. Very cool. Style. | 0:57:00 | 0:57:12 | |
Next, if it is not tough enough
racing down a mountain at the | 0:57:12 | 0:57:16 | |
Olympics. Watch the slow motion. She
almost slices that. I must stress | 0:57:16 | 0:57:23 | |
she does not. No animals hurt. That
was close. | 0:57:23 | 0:57:31 | |
was close. Next, remember, do not
hit anything, because it will hit | 0:57:31 | 0:57:34 | |
you back. And finally, when you are
so smooth you can moonwalk at the | 0:57:34 | 0:57:43 | |
curling final. I think they are
going | 0:57:43 | 0:57:50 | |
curling final. I think they are
going to be big stars when they go | 0:57:50 | 0:57:52 | |
back to the USA. The Americans will
embrace it. The way they supported | 0:57:52 | 0:57:57 | |
it was quite loud. They went curling
crazy and it is great for the sport. | 0:57:57 | 0:58:04 | |
I think America has a new passion.
Who was the star so far the games? | 0:58:04 | 0:58:11 | |
Ester Ledecka. I admire her talents.
I cannot Win a ski racing gold medal | 0:58:11 | 0:58:19 | |
