Michelle Carter is the world indoor champion. Valerie Adams tucked in there as the name perhaps on everyone's lips to see whether her return to form can be complete with the seventh world championship or Olympic championship to her credit in the outdoor Olympic Games. Away she goes. That is big. That is close to the 20m mark. Maybe a little bit too much height. At a recent meeting she was ahead of the German. Around about what she threw this morning. China's, the world leader. She has in some very good form. A low body position. Maybe a bit too much icon that. -height she should be happy with that. We goes around to now. Straightaway we watch Michelle Carter. She had a good opener. Her father won the silver medal in this event in Los Angeles in 1984. It runs in the family. I very good throw out towards the 20m mark. I would imagine that will be close to 19.8 perhaps. 19.79 by Valerie Adams was the leading throw in round one. That is very good from Michelle Carter. It has put her in the lead by 3cm. Here comes Valerie Adams. The pressure is on again. She is in second place. 3cm behind Michelle Carter. It is big. That is over the 20m mark. That is a season best I think for Valerie Adams. That is a very good throw. That one pleases her coach. Here's her from NZ. Their personal coaches not able to be here. There is Scott Goodman, happy. And 20.42. A wonderful effort by Valerie Adams. That is her really returning to cracking form. She is in the lead. And here comes, Gong. 27 years of age from China. That comes up well short of the 20m mark. So Valerie Adams has sent a statement to archrival. She was the bronze medallist from four years ago. She goes into the third position with 19.39. Here is Michelle Carter. As we begin round three. Michelle Carter in second place. She is the world indoor champion. She beat Valerie Adams in Portland, Oregon this year. Outdoors she is not quite so impressive. She comes up short of her second-round effort. But will be measured for her. Just the height and the release. A little bit too high. Just about finding that right angle versus velocity. Such small percentages they are dealing with. The subtle little adjustments. Here is the current leader from NZ. Having a good sequence so far, Valerie Adams. In the lead so far. Another good throw but short of the 20m mark. She is looking for a little bit of advice here. The high-performance manager from athletics NZ. Scott Goodman. Height, angle and speed other three things they are looking at. Again well short of the 20m mark. Struggling to find some of the early season form. Valerie Adams has 20.42. That's what Carter has to beat. And close to the 20m mark. There will be very close to her best throw for tonight, 19.82m. Look of disappointment. 19.87m. It confirms her in second place. Here is Valerie Adams straight into her work. Round four. Happy with that one. There was a big jump from her afterwards. Although she too has walked out the front and said do not measure that one. Anita Marton from Hungary. Oh! Save that for the last round. A really big one. A nervous wait now for Michelle Carter. Have we seen a position change? She has a beautiful technique across the circle. It is a fantastic effort. It has improved her position up to second equal. We could have a unique situation where we had to throw was tied for second place and then to throw was tied for third place. Unbelievable when it comes to this level. And it comes down to such small percentages. She qualified first this morning. Bronze medal in London. After she finished fourth in the competition because of the disqualification of someone higher than them, she was promoted to Bronze medal. Runner-up in 2015. But this is the one they will be talking about. They talk about this being a technique baseball. It is about getting those three aspects of your throat right. HEIGHT, angle and speed. Better from her but well below her best. Certainly a medal for Anita Marton. And disappointment there for gong. And now we have just two competitors left. We have Michelle Carter with their best so far of 19.87. She is a long way to get near Valerie Adams of NZ. Michelle car to go to best In round four and she got anything left in the tank? What a fantastic effort. What a wonderful effort by Carter. She may have just taken the gold medal from Valerie Adams. That is sensational. That is unbelievable. What a time to pull that out of the bag. It looks like a demolition from Valerie Adams. We are witnessing one of the great throws, one of the great Olympic moments. Personal-best, 20.24. Now Valerie Adams from NZ, suddenly the real pressure is on her to throughout the throw of her life. It is over the 20m mark. I do not think it is going to be enough. I think she will have to settle for second. Let's wait with baited breath to see how this one unfolds. A great competition which went kind of flat in the middle. And let's see the measurement. The competitors know. 20.394 Valerie Adams in round six. Not enough to beat the gold-medal winner from USA, Michelle Carter. She is the world indoor champion. Adams was looking to become the first female athlete in the field events to win back-to-back Olympic games golds over three Olympics. Her father won a silver medal in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles in the men's shot put and she wants to beat her dad. And she has done just that in the sixth and final round with this effort. Just gets that have around and that rotation. Height, angle and speed. The three factors. I do not believe what I am watching. There is the wrapup. Valerie Adams, I want to say Commissioner commisersations, but judging by your body language, you seem upbeat. I am OK. There would have been nice to win, but that is sport. I wanted to leave my heart out at here and I fought with the very end. All the work that I've done since last year, I'm happy to be here today. It is my third Olympic medal and I have got to take it and run. That is such a great attitude. The junior of been on has been really up and down. How tough is it then? It has been really really tough. After my elbow surgery I did not know whether I will be our will to come here today. It was a very long road. There are some tough days out there but I have a good support team, especially my physio, who stood beside me. I had to fight to be yesterday. It is bittersweet, a gold would The Rio Olympic Velodrome in the heart of the Rio Olympics Park with all the indoor arenas. Welcome to day two of the track program at Rio 2016. The men's team pursuit bronze medal race is between NZ and Denmark. NZ lineup has Pieter Bulling, Aaron Gate, 19-year-old Ryan Gough. It is NZ and Denmark. Fighting it out. The NZ team already have a silver medal from the team sprint. And they have a young squad. The experienced Aaron Gate, the former omnium champion. They have the Olympic omnium champion in the opposite camp. In Denmark. The Danish team coach are indicating to the Danes that they are up on the Nzers. That will give them lots of confidence. The Danes have had some experience. They have been riding well together. NZ have got a really good track cycling program going with the new facility. The athletes say that it is making all the difference to have this world-class facility with all the recovery pools and ice baths that everything they need. They have got all their doctors at coach is based on one place. The Danes have got a handy lead over the Nzers. Denmark swing off. Gate is still at the front now. Though he is handed over now. The Danish team have a very handy lead here now in the bronze medal ride. On-board brilliant images for NZ. Denmark trying to fight back here. They need to do a really deep her to take bronze here at the Olympic Games. NZ taking it and holding it together here. They are really putting the hammer down, Denmark. The Danish national team are stepping up indicating they have a very handy lead. They have got a handy lead over the NZ team for the bronze medal at the Olympic Games. They are 1.785, the lead. NZ are now down to 3. They will have to dig so deep that the remaining laps. It is not going to happen, I feel. Denmark are in control of this. This is the moment of truth in the pursuit. The Danes need to stay relaxed now. The Danish coach is giving every indication that they are on schedule and up on the Nzers. Denmark are powering towards a bronze medal here. They were bronze medal was that the world champions at London. It is NZ were fighting to stay in touch her. Denmark are keeping it all together. They do not need to take any risks now with a lap to go. It is looking good in Denmark. The Danes are going to take the bronze medal at the Olympic Games. It is a fantastic ride. The Danes are the bronze medallist at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. NZ gave it all they could but they could not match the consistency and pace of the Danes. We see some emotion there from the coach as well. He is excited. That is what an Olympic medal means to everyone involved. The Danish men's pursuit team are going to be very pleased. They are going home with a bronze medal. It is delighted because it is confirmed their performance at the world champs and improved their performance from the 2012 Olympics. Here is the expressions on the faces of these riders. It is what it means for the Danes. A bronze medal for the Danes over NZ. UPBEAT MUSIC good morning. Welcome to the Olympic Hockey Center. Pool a women's hockey match between the Nzers Black Sticks team. They want to continue the progress they made against Spain, against the Netherlands. Three from three for Netherlands. They want to do well in this match preparing them for the match against China. And the Dutch do the first time the penalty corner. Rutherford. Penalty corner. The Nzers will be disappointed. They had the chance to clear. They couldn't quite get on top of it. She will be disappointed but that clearance. Regulation stuff. Her defenders can back up a little bit better. Number two the Netherlands. Strike towards goal, but it was high. Just checking... number four keeps going on the end of her stick. It will be another PC for the Netherlands. There is an easy one to adjudicate. To inject. It is the maestro. Penalty corner flick. She has added another goal to her impressive tally. And they going to check?Yes, it is. There is no doubt. It's not over the line. It's have another look hitS the upright. The whole ball has to go over the line, and it did. 1-0 to the Dutch. This is how they can hurt you. And now it is a chance for Nicholson. They put the ball into the space. Mary runs through with it. Play on is the call. Done well in that regard, the Nzers, gaining possession by tackling well. She has got Harrison there. It is under the goalkeeper. The pressure going on the champion number one side. It is NZ who are desperate. What an absolute goal from the NZ captain. She's going to have a lot herself. Both teams have lost their ability to refer. Let's have another look. They had pressed, NZ. Where did it come from? Look at that. Last-ditch attempt. Swings through it. What will be the outcome from the video umpire? Doesn't she love that? The NZ skipper, mother of one. The Kiwis in the crowd are calling it. Lisa Roesch adds years has got the unenviable job to look at this and check the accuracy. Mark giving some instructions to his players. Here's the ball. This is the area. What happened? And Whitelock speculated with that. Outstanding for NZ. The NZ skipper five seconds to go in this match. What will be the last play? What a draw for NZ. They worked so hard in this match tto get on even terms with the best team in the world and they have done it with the Kayla Whitelock strike. NZ one all draw in this pool A fixture. What a goal to bring out in the best possible fashion as the players shake hands. Welcome to the Deodoro Olympic hockey venue. Men's action in the campaign. It is Belgium against NZ. The highflying Belgium side unbeaten in their pool matches so far. They are running red hot. And this is a free shot at goal. He opts for the penalty corner. A little bit of space found at the top of the circle for NZ. They saw the form that the goalkeeper has been in for Belgium decided on the penalty corner. That was a layoff from the top of the circle. And they have scored the goal. Simon Child with the little magic. Look at the angle of that shot. Close and hugging the inside backboard. To be fair, I think that little penalty corner variation was invented by the Germans quite a few years ago. Giving some high-fives. And the Kiwis are delirious in the stands. A well constructive field goal. It left the space open and one, two, three in the back of the net. NZ now lead 2-0. It is the first time that Belgium has been behind any of the pool matches so far. A very happy coach. What a clever piece of skill from the youngster. Over the baseline. It was not the best of the skill we saw earlier on. Bradshaw took off into the right side. Is he going to have a go himself? Can they get the shot? And who would believe it There is the pass. Hugo Ingles gets the ball, another goal of the net for NZ. Look at that. Of the right foot. the shot at goal. 2 minutes on the clock. Back of the stick is the query. That is what they are asking. Did he hit it with the back of the stick? Edge of the stick, so you can give the goal. NZ lose the referral. The standings now in pool a. From the match is completed. There is still one more to be played. That will not affect the team sitting at the bottom. NZ sitting third. You would think that Australia taking on Brazil would put NZ in forth. FUNKY MUSIC
