and whojust led 2001, paris were bidding and lost. and who just led france to the world cup history, that was the big player on the scene pushing for the games and it has taken him 23 years to get back on that runway in the opening ceremony to enjoy the moment. there's a whole raft of characters who have spent 20 plus years to try and get these games to paris. they tried in the late 80s as well. fourth time lucky but they got it. and those rings and that landmark, thatis and those rings and that landmark, that is the symbol of the success they have got in front of them. �*i’bzq they have got in front of them. 1924 was the last — they have got in front of them. 1924 was the last time _ they have got in front of them. 1924 was the last time paris hosted. that is a long hiatus. it was the last time paris hosted. that is a long hiatus.— is a long hiatus. it gives them alon: is a long hiatus. it gives them along centenary _ is a long hiatus. it gives them along centenary platform - is a long hiatus. it gives them along centenary platform and| is a long hiatus. it gives them | along centenary platform and i is a long hiatus. it gives them - along centenary platform and i don't blame them for that. 100 years to get these games going again. how tou~h is it get these games going again. how tough is it for— get these games going again. how tough is it for paris to prepare given how it's often in the case

before the olympics, a lot of pushback on how much it is costing. eight plus billion euros. huge sums of money. but wherever you are, you come across all manner of issues, complaints, some legitimate and some because people don't think it's worth it, why should paris have all this and not parts of the other provinces? so they have spread out a bit. but as always the same result once i start, if they start well, the french are loving it and doing so well. and imagine the british are a great start. i don't think they have ever had a better medal tally at this stage. but france, in terms of overall enjoyment here, that's really important because you do need the home country to have a good game. 8 the home country to have a good name. j ~ , ., the home country to have a good came., ., ~ game. 8 billion euros. do you think it's worth it? _ game. 8 billion euros. do you think it's worth it? what _ game. 8 billion euros. do you think it's worth it? what is _ game. 8 billion euros. do you think it's worth it? what is it _ game. 8 billion euros. do you think it's worth it? what is it for? - game. 8 billion euros. do you think it's worth it? what is it for? what | it's worth it? what is it for? what our country so keen to host it for?

metres final, with some big names set to appear including the us' sha'carri richarson. and talking about sha'carri richardson, dennis shaver, head track and field coach at louisiana state university, one of the best in the us for athletics — he coached the us star told us more about sha'carri's abilities to shine in this competition. sha'carri's obviously the extremely talented and we were blessed to to have her with us for at least one full year in college, where she blossomed from high school, where she was highly recruited and had run 11:40 or so in the 100m. but once she stepped on our campus, she was just so dedicated to becoming an elite sprinter and study the sport and was such a hard worker and very coachable athlete. so it wasjust a wonderful time for us. we've always loved sha'carri and the things that she did for us while she was at lsu when she ran 1075 and set the ncaa record in the 100m. what makes one athlete more coachable than another? you described her there as coachable. i'm interested. well, i think they can take some of the instructions and video analysis that you provide them

and they're able to process it. and with some people, they just automatically just make those changes to adjust, to improve. and she was one of those that was very coachable and was able to make those mechanical changes just instantly. she was such a great person to work with and so dedicated to becoming an elite sprinter. do you think she's going to win the gold tonight? oh, we'll pray that she wins the gold tonight. i mean she's obviously had a great season, she's been healthy. and we're certainly certainly cheering for her. and i think it's going to be a real challenge though. there's just so many great sprinters. and we'll know a lot more after the semifinal, but once you line up in the final everybody�*s got to be able to, you know, really execute their race plan and stick to it and trust themselves. and i know that sha'carri is one that does that. so i think anybody who, you know, would push her off of the gold medal and the podium, they're going to have to earn it.

that's basically the way i'm looking at it at this point in time. but certainly i think sha'carri could end up on that top podium. let's turn to swimming now — it was of course a great night in the pool for france again last night with superstar leon marchard winning his fourth gold. but i want to talk about northern ireland — daniel wiffen won gold in the men's 800m freestyle earlier this week and became the first athlete from northern ireland to win an olympic gold in 36 years. daniel will now turn his attention to the 1500 freestyle event, with the heats today and the final on sunday. let's speak now to his parents rachel and jonathan and twin brothen, nathan. hello to all of you. hello. thank ou for

but admiration and of course, sympathy. he'd gone off very quickly indeed. but the danger was, after all, the achilles trouble... a terrible situation that turned into one of the most iconic moments of the games, and showed sporting determination and humanity. joining me now is derek redmond. it's lovely to talk to you. i remember when that happened in real life, live, it was one of those moments i really felt for you and your dad. took me through how you felt as it happened.— felt as it happened. well, i wasn't too pleased _ felt as it happened. well, i wasn't too pleased about _ felt as it happened. well, i wasn't too pleased about situation, i too pleased about situation, obviously. i was one of the favourites to win or says need to get a medal, won the first two rounds and things were going well, i

had achilles problems prior but we managed to get the better of them and keep a lid on all the problems i was having and the hamstring goes out the blue. so yes, very and frustrating and annoying. there are eight years of work going into that because a previous olympics which i didn't make i accidentally snapped energy achilles ken tendon and is one of the favourites for a medal in there and also in the 4x4. when that happened in barcelona, it wasn't losing a medal, it was losing the fourth medal that i had lost out on that i could have one. so very upsetting and emotional. what impact did that have — upsetting and emotional. what impact did that have on _ upsetting and emotional. what impact did that have on you _ upsetting and emotional. what impact did that have on you afterwards? it i did that have on you afterwards? it took me a couple of years to get over it. there were a couple of years where i really wasn't the best person to be around or be and somewhere between two and three years i kind of got to groups with

the situation and the way i dealt with it and the way i still do with it now 32 years later, i speak about a lot with the work i do, is this a lot worse going on in the world and bottom line, i pulled a race and thatis bottom line, i pulled a race and that is how i put it into perspective. there are so much worse going on in the world. i pulled a muscle in a race. i'm still here, still smiling and competing, not in athletics but it could be a lot worse. that's how i do with it now. it's become an iconic moment of the olympics. i rememberseeing it it's become an iconic moment of the olympics. i remember seeing it a few days ago in the montage during the opening ceremony in paris. that's how important it has become. i guess it's because of what it signifies and what it tells us about sport and humanity and togetherness. are you able to feel that now 32 years later

news. hello there. many of us started off our weekend with a different look and feel to the weather. there has certainly been more in the way of cloud, thick at times for a spot of drizzle. this was norfolk this morning. a weak weather front is seeking south so we had some drizzly rain across parts of east yorkshire, lincolnshire, east anglia and channel coasts. it may well stay overcast across the channel and on the breezy side. brightening up with some sunshine coming through, scattering of showers up north and is possibly thundery. a fresh feel of 16 to 18 degrees, 20 to 24 celsius in yorkshire. quiet but overcast overnight, this area of low pressure pushing in for tomorrow. we start off with double digits, a great start and we will be chasing cloud mounts around on sunday. that will mean they won't be

quite as warm again. rain into northern ireland in north—west scotland, gradually pushing its way eastwards. highs of 15 to 18 degrees, maybe 23 in the south—east if we get sun coming through. the area of low pressure moves its way in from the east and the rain could turn quite heavy. a couple of inches not out of the question, maybe more to higher ground in scotland and northern ireland and at the same time, a stronger south—westerly wind tapping is into some more humid air so where we have sunshine coming through in east and south—east england, highs of 27 degrees. the weather front will sink southwards and east so hopefully some useful rain for gardeners and growers across eastern england where we are desperate for wetter weather. brightening up behind with a few scattered, sharp showers developing into the north—west and temperatures ranging 15 to 25 celsius. through the remainder of the week

ahead, it looks likely we will keep more unsettled weather the further west you are and dry with outbreaks of sunshine in the south.
