:02:07. > :02:22.Andy Swiss reports. It has been described as equestrian ballet and

:02:27. > :02:31.horse in perfect harmony. The defending champion on Valegro and
:02:32. > :02:38.once again they produced an utterly spellbinding display. At the end the
:02:39. > :02:44.emotions overflowed. And the result was astonishing. They have been the
:02:45. > :02:50.stars of the sport worldwide now. And no one could catch her.
:02:51. > :02:55.Charlotte Dujardin once again Olympic dressage champion, another
:02:56. > :03:00.title, another unforgettable trial. In London I had no expectation, no
:03:01. > :03:06.pressure to go out there. Today I felt a huge amount of pressure and
:03:07. > :03:10.expectation. For me it could be one of the last rites on Valegro, there
:03:11. > :03:18.is talk of retirement for him and for me to finish in this way, it is
:03:19. > :03:21.really emotional. What a moment meanwhile in the women's hammer.
:03:22. > :03:29.Sophie Hitchon with Careberry final throw. That was enough for bronze.
:03:30. > :03:34.The first medal for the UK in the event thanks to that last gasp
:03:35. > :03:44.glory. Neither she nor anyone else could get near this. A world record
:03:45. > :03:50.from Anita Wlodarczyk of Poland. Earlier Team GB's sensational Sunday
:03:51. > :03:56.had been rounded off by Andy Murray. His four are win over Del Potro
:03:57. > :04:02.leaving both men physically and emotionally drained. Andy Murray
:04:03. > :04:08.proud on the podium, the first player to win back-to-back singles
:04:09. > :04:13.girls. I feel a lot of just relief. I'm just tired right now but
:04:14. > :04:19.obviously proud to help won another gold medal. But the star of the show
:04:20. > :04:24.was Max Whitlock, two gold medals in barely 90 minutes, the first ever in
:04:25. > :04:30.gymnastics for Britain. And today he told me that here in real the
:04:31. > :04:34.winning habit is proving contagious. A big believer that success breeds
:04:35. > :04:40.success, I feel it can go across all sports. People see this person with
:04:41. > :04:44.a gold medal from Team GB, it birds be blonde and makes them believe
:04:45. > :04:49.what is possible, it motivates and inspires them. How about following a
:04:50. > :04:54.medal with an engagement ring? Chinese diver receiving a very
:04:55. > :05:01.public marriage proposal from her team-mate. And to the delight of the
:05:02. > :05:10.crowd, she said yes. Two divers taking the plunge in a
:05:11. > :05:15.whole new way. Dare we say it, there could be more British success
:05:16. > :05:18.tonight here in the velodrome. Mark Cavendish has never won an Olympic
:05:19. > :05:20.medal but he is in third place going into the final stages of the men's
:05:21. > :05:35.omnium. Let's take a look at the medal table
:05:36. > :05:40.so far. After the success today, Team GB is in second place with 16
:05:41. > :05:50.goals, 16 silvers and eight bronze medals, taking the total tally to
:05:51. > :05:55.40. How is Rio shaping up compared to other games? At London 2012
:05:56. > :06:04.TeamGB had a total of 65 medal. Four years before that they had 47 in
:06:05. > :06:05.Beijing. 30 at Athens, 28 in Sydney and in Atlanta, they went home with
:06:06. > :06:20.just 15. So what is behind the big turnaround? Gold for
:06:21. > :06:28.Great Britain! Bow to his superiority. Records tumbling.
:06:29. > :06:34.History being made. These games have so far surpassed all expectations.
:06:35. > :06:38.But how has a small nation like the UK in alongside and even above
:06:39. > :06:43.giants like China? It is all thanks to money and one humiliating
:06:44. > :06:48.Olympics. In 1996 in Atlanta the UK won just one gold medal, 15 interval
:06:49. > :06:53.leading the nation in 30 Sixth Place in the medal table behind Algeria
:06:54. > :06:57.and Kazakhstan. The government then started diverting lottery funds
:06:58. > :07:02.directly into sport enabling athletes to train full-time. Those
:07:03. > :07:05.winning medals here in Brazil are directly reaping the rewards of your
:07:06. > :07:12.weekly flutter. The funding is everything. I do not get any extra
:07:13. > :07:17.money other than the lottery money. That is it and without that you're
:07:18. > :07:23.not windsurfing, not going to the Olympic Games, not doing any Olympic
:07:24. > :07:27.sport. How much cash has been spent since Atlanta? There was a ?69
:07:28. > :07:30.million investment for the Sydney games but by Athens, the investment
:07:31. > :07:36.have gone up. London won the right to host the Olympics and three years
:07:37. > :07:39.later in Beijing it was a huge increase in funding, to ?265
:07:40. > :07:42.million. For London it was up again and it paid off. The UK finishing
:07:43. > :08:09.third in the medals table at the home games. Here the total
:08:10. > :08:11.investment in both the Olympic and Paralympic teams is almost ?350
:08:12. > :08:14.million with the team on course for its best away games in history. UK
:08:15. > :08:17.Sport said the success is by design and not chance. We have enjoyed the
:08:18. > :08:19.privilege now of national lottery investment for 18 years and that has
:08:20. > :08:22.allowed UK Sport to focus funding in a targeted way and allow athletes to
:08:23. > :08:24.train full-time, an eight-year investment, not a four-year project,
:08:25. > :08:25.with the best world-class coaching, science, medicine support wrapped
:08:26. > :08:28.around them. Ultimately though UK Sport provides the foundation is, it
:08:29. > :08:31.is the athletes who must deliver the inspirational moments. So far up
:08:32. > :08:48.against TeamGB is spoiling a nation which no longer hopes, but expect.
:08:49. > :08:52.And Usain Bolt has proved again that he is the fastest man in the world.
:08:53. > :08:54.Usain Bolt has done it again, winning gold in the 100m
:08:55. > :08:58.The Jamaican also remains on course for the sprint treble,
:08:59. > :09:01.with two more gold medals for the 200m and the 4x100 metre
:09:02. > :09:13.It is a sprinting supremacy that began in Beijing and continued in
:09:14. > :09:17.London 2012. Now Usain Bolt has a third consecutive 100 metres Olympic
:09:18. > :09:21.title, three games, three gold medals, after delivering once again
:09:22. > :09:27.when it mattered most. Usain Bolt started slowly but the
:09:28. > :09:32.man cast as the saviour of track and Field soon surged ahead of his chief
:09:33. > :09:36.rival, American two times drugs cheat Justin Gatlin, long seen as
:09:37. > :09:40.the pantomime villain of the sport. Usain Bolt sprinted to a place where
:09:41. > :09:45.no one in Olympic history ever been before, affirming his status as a
:09:46. > :09:52.true legend of this, and all sport. I'm really happy, I expected to go
:09:53. > :09:55.faster but the time was so quick, we had to come back out. I'm just happy
:09:56. > :10:00.than I won it, that is the key thing. Among the abiding images,
:10:01. > :10:03.this remarkable photo from a semifinal, capturing the dominance
:10:04. > :10:06.and the charisma for which he is known. But could track and field
:10:07. > :10:13.have found a man to replace the biggest star in the sport?
:10:14. > :10:16.24-year-old South African Wayde Van Niekerk last night sensationally
:10:17. > :10:20.winning the 400 metre final and smashing the world record in the
:10:21. > :10:27.process. In a time of 43 point three seconds. Wayde Van Niekerk had
:10:28. > :10:31.pulled off one of the most spectacular pieces of running the
:10:32. > :10:36.sport had ever seen, surpassing the previous 400 metres world record of
:10:37. > :10:39.43.18 seconds, the legendary Michael Johnson had set 17 years ago and
:10:40. > :10:45.which many thought would not be beaten. Today he reflected on just
:10:46. > :10:49.how special last night had been. It is about doing things that are
:10:50. > :10:54.electric on the track, more than just being a world record holder or
:10:55. > :10:58.Olympic champion, is doing something special that no one has done before.
:10:59. > :11:06.No one was more thrilled here last night and his coach. 74-year-old
:11:07. > :11:08.great-grandmother who has been working with him for the past three
:11:09. > :11:13.years. Even Usain Bolt seemed struck by what he had seen, interrupting
:11:14. > :11:16.his celebrations to congratulate the new world record holder. To living
:11:17. > :11:31.champions delivering the defining moments that these games crave.
:11:32. > :11:39.These games still have their problems? It is something of a game
:11:40. > :11:42.of two halves developing. In the venues around the Olympic Park,
:11:43. > :11:46.those iconic and inspirational sporting moments are definitely
:11:47. > :11:51.being delivered. And of course the organisers were desperate for those
:11:52. > :11:54.given the build-up was overshadowed by doping related controversy. So
:11:55. > :11:58.last night those fantastic performances from Usain Bolt and
:11:59. > :12:01.Wayde Van Niekerk, people are talking of the prospect of a 300
:12:02. > :12:06.metre race between them next season to decide the greatest sprinter in
:12:07. > :12:11.the world. That is what track and field needed more interest, more
:12:12. > :12:17.intrigue in the sport, given the difficulties it faced. Elsewhere
:12:18. > :12:22.TeamGB and their continued success, Michael Phelps, Simona Biles, they
:12:23. > :12:25.all gave the game is some stardust. But today crisis talks between
:12:26. > :12:28.International Paralympic Committee chiefs and the federal government
:12:29. > :12:32.over a funding crisis which could mean 50 countries cannot afford to
:12:33. > :12:35.send athletes to the Paralympic Games. A reminder that there event

:22:29. > :22:31.from France, Spain and Italy, but more and more of it is now
:22:32. > :22:34.being made at home. Our correspondent Frankie
:22:35. > :22:51.McCamley is at a vineyard It is a similar picture. Sales of
:22:52. > :22:57.English sparkling wine have increased dramatically over the last
:22:58. > :23:01.few years, brands are becoming more established, and it is more common
:23:02. > :23:05.to see a bottle of wine grown in this country on the supermarket
:23:06. > :23:11.shelves. There is also much more investment in the industry. In 2015
:23:12. > :23:19.alone 37 new vineyards and wine producers opened. Tell us, why do
:23:20. > :23:25.you think we have seen this increase? Is it because of the taste
:23:26. > :23:28.because it is more available? The taste is fantastic, the quality has
:23:29. > :23:33.always been paramount in English wine production. Year on year
:23:34. > :23:38.English wine producers are producing sparkling wine that is winning
:23:39. > :23:42.international awards, the Gucci demand is there, on the rise, and we
:23:43. > :23:47.have fantastic weather and we are producing a brilliant wine. We have
:23:48. > :23:52.got the greatest behind us, when are these going to be ready for harvest?
:23:53. > :24:01.They are going to be harvested in October. Like we hear there, the
:24:02. > :24:02.wine is not going to be ready just yet, so we will have to wait for
:24:03. > :24:05.this wine for just a few moments. The team is only seven strong
:24:06. > :24:09.and they have yet to win a medal, but Olympic officials have told
:24:10. > :24:11.the BBC that the much-celebrated international refugee
:24:12. > :24:13.team is here to stay. It's the first time they've appeared
:24:14. > :24:16.at the Olympics and it's hoped the team will draw attention
:24:17. > :24:18.to the plight of 60 million Wyre Davies has been
:24:19. > :24:22.following their progress and asks what will happen
:24:23. > :24:27.to the athletes after the Games. Of all the great swimming
:24:28. > :24:31.performances at Rio 2016, few perhaps matched the achievements
:24:32. > :24:37.of 18-year-old Yusra Mardini. A 50-metre Olympic pool a far cry
:24:38. > :24:40.from the stormy Agean Sea through which she swam for three
:24:41. > :24:43.hours, towing a boat full Disappointment that she failed
:24:44. > :24:50.to qualify from her heats in Rio, but everything has to be
:24:51. > :24:52.put into perspective. Sometimes we hear the news
:24:53. > :24:55.before we go to bed, so sometimes it's hard
:24:56. > :24:58.to concentrate on swimming. But in this situation
:24:59. > :25:01.and your position, you have to sometimes concentrate
:25:02. > :25:08.on what you have, not what you lost. The Olympic refugee team,
:25:09. > :25:11.ten athletes from the Middle East, Central and Eastern Africa, got one
:25:12. > :25:15.of the biggest cheers of the night Each individual with a different
:25:16. > :25:22.story of overcoming adversity. Just like Yusra, Popole Masenga
:25:23. > :25:25.is a fighter. He fled war in his native Congo,
:25:26. > :25:28.a conflict which claimed the life Sport, he says, has given him
:25:29. > :25:38.identity and purpose. TRANSLATION: When I entered
:25:39. > :25:40.the arena, there were hundreds I couldn't believe my eyes,
:25:41. > :25:46.they were chanting my name. The idea of a refugee
:25:47. > :25:51.team seems inspired. Its members are media stars
:25:52. > :25:55.and they're hugely popular But what happens when all of this is
:25:56. > :26:01.over and everybody else goes home? And what of the idea that brought
:26:02. > :26:05.them together in the first place? The IOC says it created this
:26:06. > :26:09.team not as a PR stunt, but to draw attention
:26:10. > :26:12.to the 60 million displaced The idea of the refugee Olympic
:26:13. > :26:17.team is that one day it That actually these refugees,
:26:18. > :26:22.each of them hopefully, we will be able to help them find
:26:23. > :26:26.a new home and a new national Olympic committee and help
:26:27. > :26:28.them in their training. Yusra says she wants her
:26:29. > :26:31.Olympic dream to continue These individuals have
:26:32. > :26:38.certainly bonded as a team, and they've definitely
:26:39. > :26:56.made their mark on the Games. A fine summer's date today, the
:26:57. > :26:59.weather watchers captured sunny skies all the way from the north of
:27:00. > :27:04.Scotland to the south of England and the Channel Islands. Very pleasant
:27:05. > :27:10.in the sunshine, but the warmth disappears by night. Green colours
:27:11. > :27:18.into the morning across rural Scotland, northern England and
:27:19. > :27:23.Wales. It is only a brief chill. As soon as the sun gets up,
:27:24. > :27:29.temperatures are on the rise again. Another day of clear blue skies.
:27:30. > :27:33.Subtle changes, a breeze of the East can towards eastern England. A bit
:27:34. > :27:38.call, but the warmest weather between Cardiff and Birmingham. If
:27:39. > :27:44.you are planning to head to the beach, West is best for the warmth.
:27:45. > :27:47.We finished the day on a fine note for many, but the chance of one or
:27:48. > :27:54.two isolated showers for Northern Ireland. They will be head of this
:27:55. > :27:59.weather front. It will bring the risk of thundery rain into Northern
:28:00. > :28:09.Ireland, especially in the West. Another fine sunny summer's date.
:28:10. > :28:13.The warmest of the weather through the Midlands and the south coast.
:28:14. > :28:19.More substantial change across Ireland and into Wales and southern
:28:20. > :28:21.England into Thursday. The potential for slower moving, torrential
:28:22. > :28:30.thundery downpours. It will not rain all day long, there will be some dry
:28:31. > :28:34.weather across the South. It will feel cooler in Scotland, and that
:28:35. > :28:37.continues into the weekend. That's all from the BBC News At Six,
:28:38. > :28:40.so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
:28:41. > :28:42.news teams where you are.
