than sir chris hoy? i think british cycling is better thanit i think british cycling is better than it ever was in terms the performances, they're getting better setting personal bests and going faster than they've ever gone before. it'sjust faster than they've ever gone before. it's just the other countries are catching up and raising the bar and in some events, going even quicker. and one of the great events to be expected to win gold and it was a surprise that germany brought that incredible performance to these games and other events like the men's pursued, the team sprint in the danish team, the dutch team, they have gone to a new level. so it's up to britain to respond but on the whole, if you look at how they've invested in other parts in the two golds and bmx, there are more models to come but it is from some of the dominance we have seen the last three or four olympic games.
6:38 pm
britain are now off the mark on the track too. keely hodgkinson announced herself on the big stage, in spectacularfashion. winning silver in the women's 800 metres, it was a sensational performance. and i was delighted to be joined in the studio, by one half of her coaching team — the former athlete jenny meadows. along with her partner trevor painter, she's overseen keely�*s career for the last two years. this is how the 19 year old reacted after breaking kelly holmes' long standing british record in the final. i'm speechless right now. kelly is a legend for a long time. i looked up to her and in the past couple of days, she is a lovely person. i have no words for that. i want to thank my amazing team, my family. they put so much belief in me! i did it! what

comprehend and digest what happened and i never thought we would ever see a man run 400 metres over ten barriers in sub 46 seconds. and i don't think he expected that himself. he gave a great quote saying i didn't think a perfect race existed, but if there was one, that was as close as it was ever going to be. and ray benjamin from the us, he broke the previous olympic record world record and it's going to be a rivalry that is going to keep building and building of the next few years and it's how those two men can push each other going forwards as well. ~ ,,., , can push each other going forwards as well. ~ , , . . can push each other going forwards as well. ~ , , ., ., ~ ., as well. absolutely amazing. and a final word. — as well. absolutely amazing. and a final word, sad _ as well. absolutely amazing. and a final word, sad to _ as well. absolutely amazing. and a final word, sad to see _ as well. absolutely amazing. and a final word, sad to see him - as well. absolutely amazing. and a finalword, sad to see him pull- as well. absolutely amazing. and a finalword, sad to see him pull up i final word, sad to see him pull up in the heats, is finalword, sad to see him pull up in the heats.— in the heats, is it is the time limit that — in the heats, is it is the time limit that it _ in the heats, is it is the time limit that it took _ in the heats, is it is the time limit that it took him to - in the heats, is it is the time limit that it took him to run l in the heats, is it is the time i limit that it took him to run the race but i got so much respect for him coming out and doing that but he will walk away from another olympic games not having achieve what he set

6:44 pm
jess softley was watching. team gb has never won gold in the men's 49er class until now. british pair dylan fletcher and stuart bithell were well placed for a medal but would need to get ahead of new zealand to keep their points up. it came down to a thrilling end with the kiwis back in third it was a dramatic race to the finish with germany. mere centimetres between them. right on the line! great britain win the medal race and with it the gold medal in tokyo 2020! if that wasn't enough drama for you, giles scott was up next in the men's finn, a class gb has won consecutively for the last six olympics. he didn't have the best of starts but quickly made up time. giles needed a top five finish to retain his gold medal. he has to start overtaking. his experience showed in the final stretch as he sailed into fourth place. giles scott at the line holds onto the gold medal! ..and into the history books. jess softley, bbc news.
6:45 pm
and there was a silver to add to the tally on the water with anna burnet and john gimson getting second place in the mixed nacra 17 class. in the boxing, there was a silverfor great britain's pat mccormack after he lost to cuba's ron—ee—l iglesias in the welterweight final. mccormack had been ranked as the top seed, but lost on unanamous points after an impressive performance from iglesias, who's now won three olympic medals. mccormack�*s silver means team gb has secured a record six medals in the boxing events at tokyo. more action from the aquatics centre now. jack laugher said today's bronze meant more to him, than the gold he won in rio, after battling mental health issues earlier this year. he even said he wanted to quit diving altogether at the time. but today — he finished 3rd on springboard and dedicated his medal to everyone he says kept him in one piece. nick hope reports. the last few months of been the
6:46 pm
toughest of jack's career. from the highs of rio 2016 to the laws of the europeans just three months ago. then he was sixth twice and he told me that he was struggling from stress, anxiety and even panic when he was diving. there were no signs of any of that today, he was simply brilliant when he won the bronze. he entered the individual springboard final sheet to banish memories of last years disappointment when he and dan goodfellow verse seven. you look strong and he kept two or three rounds. his opponent won the central event last week were looking your unbeatable but as the rounds progressed, he would ultimately leads to a dominant victory. the contest for silver and bronze was between the two of them. the brits gaveit between the two of them. the brits gave it his best in his six round routine secured him a metal and it's down to him to decide which colour and he delivered the dive of the day to get a 1—2 for china. particularly given his struggles earlier in the

6:48 pm
friday, it's the return of time daily. but for the news today, jack is back. let's take a look at some of the day's other olympic stories now. sweden's armand duplantis is the new olympic pole vault champion. the 21—year—old was already the world record holder, and although this vault of 6 metres two centimetres was 16 centimetres short of that, clearing it first time was enough to give him the gold medal. brazil are through to the final of the men's football tournament, after beating mexico on penalties. they'll play spain, who beat japan 1—0 after extra time. and success for poland in the women's hammer. a mighty heave from anita wlodarcyk made it a hat—trick of olympic golds — she'd come back from knee surgery to follow up victories in london and rio with another win in tokyo. just a few days ago, many wondered whether we'd see simone biles in action again
6:49 pm
at these olympics. she'd pulled out of her individual events so far in tokyo — due concerns over her mental health. but today, she made her eagerly awaited return — in the final of the beam. and it was a medal winning performance from the star of us gymnastics. there was british interest today too — asjohn watson explains. the gymnastics competition here drawing to a close but simone biles was able to can compete one last time and which she collected a bronze medaljust as she did in rio five years ago. as we know, she set out the four individual apparatus finals that you qualify for due to a case of the twisties that the story in tt and feeling that makes those moves so second nature —— disorientating. it makes it so hard to compete. she was pleased to compete for one last time. it feels a bit sweeter—

6:51 pm

6:53 pm
to break out onto the scene of the triathlon scene on the world series level which is the top level and i definitely had a mild form of imposter syndrome and not quite feeling worthy of being able to stand on the starting line with the incredible people they looked up to for so long and it's taken it's toll on 2021 and to the pandemic to realise that, yeah, after spending time with people, yes, you are worthy and there's a reason why you're there and that's what i say to anyone. a quick round—up now of some of the sports stories away from the olympics and... london spirit beat northern superchargers in a thrilling finish to their women's one hundred match at at lord's. needing 2 from 3 balls, jemima rodriguez hit a 4 to give her side only their second victory of the new competition. the men's game is underway. british and irish lions head coach warren gatland has made a series of changes to the side to face south africa in the decisive third test. ken owens, wynjones,

the floor. i called a doctor onto the field and that's what i did, the real euros for the danish captain and the others performing cpr. i just want to make sure you got the treatment that he needed. he clearly did because the reaction of not only the captain but also the medics who came on and did the initial cpr. even in the immediate aftermath and the teams, everyone still coming to me as the match referee for what we do next what we do, how long do we wait and that's myjob and construction with the delegates. —— conjunction. we still have plenty to do in terms of managing the emotions and everybody there and also at the end of the day, we are dealing with people in football irrelevant. even though were in a major international tournament. the football was truly irrelevant in the thing was that christian was ok. that he got the help he needed and we needed to make sure that both sets of players were 0k sure that both sets of players were ok and make sure the rest of the match were ok.
6:56 pm
