Lisa Carrington, the four-time world champion and Olympic champion. The 200 meter. Surprising at her first world champs, to win and take the Olympic title. Expectation now only matched by her own expectations. edge of the seat moments. If you are watching in Auckland and Wellington Can Lisa Carrington come through here and take the gold medal? Australian well into her stroke. Carrington has a lot of work to do here. No doubt it is Guyot who leads. New Zealand coming to the line. Lisa Carrington, Olympic champion! Lisa Carrington, one of those gilded moments of the games. Lisa Carrington has one in New Zealand's third gold medal. The other two Cayman Rowling, and Lisa Carrington has confirmed his status is the leading kayak singles, competitor in this 200 m race. Celebrated to get the timing right. She joins a very storage company - the double gold medallists of New Zealand. The two rowers. 11th medal for a canoe paddler, joining many legions of New Zealand. That is the 9th medal for New Zealand. You can say what that means. . There is a winning time for Lisa Carrington, ahead of the Pole the silver medallist from four years ago is the bronze medallist here in Rio. Congratulations, Lisa. The first New Zealander to go back to back in a K1 event. Thank you. It has been amazing. I was pretty nervous this morning. It was a great race. My competition was so strong. It is good. I look at the medallists today all three of you have won your semifinals. WHAT Would you say to your competitors? We are so happy for each other. She is so quick. In London, she didn't medal, but she had been medaling all the last few years. So to see her do it again is epic. PA: New Zealand! (MAN SPEAKS PORTGUESE) Lisa Carrington! New Zealand third gold medal at the Olympic Games. Lisa Carrington - she is simply one of the best Olympians New Zealand has ever produced. Unbeatable and just about every respect. Where ever she goes she may not be finished yet at these games. She is certainly an amazing role model. So many young athletes in New Zealand and around the world in the sport of canoe sprint. PA: Lady the gentleman, the anthem of New Zealand's! (MAN SPEAKS PORTGUESE) (NEW ZEALAND ANTHEM PLAYS) (ANTHEM CONTINUES PLAYING) (APPLAUSE) a special moment. A gilded moment to cherish for the rest of her life. PA: later gentlemen, the Olympic medallists! Lisa Carrington, Olympic champion again. These are the standings. Quite a big gap between first and second. You were looking at a 10 point gap between gold and silver and another 10 between bronze. Red flag! A protest! The leader in the regatta has been penalised! Has he dropped the ball? Now Burton can go after him. That was really aggressive. I did hear a sound signal there that indicates someone is over the line. The gold medallist is last, silver is second to last. When you other windward boat closest to the wind, you are to keep clear from the lured boat. They are now at the back of the field. Burton is confident he can come through the field so he can lock away Sam Meech. Burton is at risk of losing silver to Meech. The Croatian is required to keep clear. Windward boat. You will see the protest come off the Australian boat, the little red flag. Penalty! Wow. Drama before the race has even started. Many of these boats are in contention for a middle. Correction: medal. Around the first mark, it is the Guatamalan sailor. Sam Meech in third. It looks like he is first into the gate, Brazil. France, and then New Zealand. How many boats are there? Tom Burton is taking a massive risk. He has not been able to climb enough up the field. He was going for gold. He wanted to get the Croatian to the back, but he hasn't executed the second part of the plan. Croatia is in ninth position. Burton is very aggressive. Burton is backing himself that he can push the Croatian to the back of the field. He has also put himself at risk against the Kiwi, Meech. Right now he has dropped down to bronze. Scheidt dropping into that mark. A legend of the sport, a 43-year-old. Such a legend in the sport. Aiming to become the highest ever medallist in sailing. All we can do is win the race and then hope that Sam Meech drops back, and that would give him an opportunity to snatch bronze. The Australian has done a good job on this up wind. Meech goes around third. Effectively safe. It is the comeback by Burton on the up wind. Burton is back into silver. Burton, moving up the field and closing the 10 point gap that he has on Sam Meech. That was a high risk strategy by Burton. He is confident in his speed. He played a very risky game. He was risking his silver as he came in, dropping back into bronze on the water. Now he is shooting for gold. If he can just get through. He is close! He must be very confident going in if he thinks he can dispose of Croatia. Croatia has been rescued to some degree by the over the line earlier. A fight within a fight going for the overall. Scheidt is the elder statesman out there, absolute legend. These other two are threatening Sam Meech's bronze. It plays out for Burton. Or he is worried about is getting boats and between himself and the Croatian. There is the last mark. It will be Scheidt around the mark. He wants to see five boats between him and Sam Meech. Meech is safe. Burton on the inside! Burton manages to sail around! Unbelievable. How this is playing out, Burton is playing a risky game. It could be a very big reward for the young Australian. Burton took out the Croatian pre-start. Robert takes out the medal race here in Rio! Who will it be? It will be Tom Burton who will come up and go over the line. And that is Tom Burton! It will be the Australian who takes gold! A come from behind victory! Gold for Australia. He risked his silver medal as he went in today, and he has converted into gold. Meech got in there. Tom Burton, you beauty! Meech did play the game incredibly well. He was never in risk of losing his bronze and he had a sniff of silver. Tom Burton is the Olympic champion and what an incredible way to win it. Just two points and between 1 and 2. It was a long shot for me to move up. I thought there might be a shot, but Burton was a great sailor. You are the only one to not sale a test regatta, and you are coming away with a medal. Did you picture this moment? No. I'm stoked. Pa: Bronze medallist representing New Zealand. Sam Meech! A proud moment for the young Kiwi. His sister is also sailing, and will be sailing for a medal, in the 49er. Proud moment for the family. That women's 49er fx competition is very very tight indeed. Sam Meech!

The standings after 11 races - the next has 53, Germany. The rest are really trailing. It looks as if the gold medal as already on the way to the redhot favourites. One more race to go before the medal race itself. No matter how well you have done during the course of the week, you still have to go and take part in the medal race in order to in the middle. CORRECTION: earn that medal. The Danes so dominant in the last race. They have a penalty right here. It will spoil the chances, won't it? New Zealand setting off very highly. The Swiss - at the first mark, it is the Swiss in the lead. That will make them feel very good down in 18th place after nine races. Making the lack a little but, now. Coming with a great deal of speed on this occasion - they have had in and out kind of time. (HORN HONKS) the Irish are rounding the mark and on the way. Great Britain. (HONKING CONTINUES) the Brazilians - the third mark coming up. The middle Switzerland just living back a little. British doing well on this leg. Pretty tight around that Mark. Here come the Danes. Wow, they sure have caught up after the early penalty. Unbelievable. Fourth place for them. New Zealand in the top half. Feeling comfortable. Don't appear to be too worried by the fact they are not actually winning the race. Certainly done enough already to get themselves in the medals. And looking at the maths, the gold medal. Maybe theirs already. The Irish, Seaton and McGovern. Great Britain, Fletcher Scott and Alan sign. Third in the world championship this year. First a couple of years back. Pretty strong crew. Then you can say that about many of these. Mcgovern, the 31-year-old. 14 to the Olympic Games in 2012. This Irish crew ranked 11 in the world at the moment. Seaton aged 28 alongside him. They will enjoy this particular race. Denmark, another good one for them. Second place for Warrer and Lubeck, Warrer won the Olympic gold eight years ago. New Zealand coming fourth after the British, Burling and Tuke, another take on the overall score just at the moment. Pretty much done and dusted. You can see the smile on their faces. Australia are out of reach. Really outshone once again by his old rival - has old training partner. Overall, New Zealand with 33. Jimmy way back with 67. She is a done deal. What a beauty boat and a great day sailing. We are over the moon. I was a thrill to come together today with a race to spare. Really stoked right now. What did you say to each other, knowing you already had a good leak and consolidation meant you could wrap it up? . It was the goal, to wrap it up today. We started off the regatta really well to get into that spot. We tried to get and do the same couple of things and the next two races. We are over the moon that we do that. The hard work we have done over the last four years have paid off. Brazil is in party modeafter what happened in the pole vault. Everyone is here for another program of track and field, an event that has become so entertaining. The field action has been unbelievable. We have got a lot to like on the track. We have the women's 5000, the men's 1500 m. We're all set for the second hates of the women's 5000. We really had a chance to pause for breath. Surely at some stage- no. There is a fall at the back of the field here. The American is one of them. She has come up limping. The other runner who has fallen has decided to stop there with her. It is the American and Nikki Hamblin. Hamblin stumbles on the inside line and a nasty fall for Dagastino. She will finish this race. It will be a painful mile for the American. A brave brave performance to carry on. She will get an absolutely huge ovation, because it will take you a long time. Nikki Hamblin will also take a long time. She is running very gingerly. The stricken American, Abby, with tears of frustration. Maybe she will look back on this with a moment of great pride. The American and the New Zealander fell. Sharing emotions with her rival and friend. The very embodiment of the Olympic spirit, alive and well. The 1500. The one thing you would like to be convinced of is that it would be better than the second heat. Almost everybody from this heat is capable of qualifying for the semi-final. The man who finished with a bronze medal at the world Championships and the Olympic Games. A world junior record holder. Here is Nick Willis, Olympic silver medallist in Beijing. He tends to make his ground by going inside runners. Here is the Czech, the unmistakable figure. There is the Australian, the 800 m champion. There is Wolde. The Ethiopian indoor mile recordholder. (Gunfire) there is a bit of intent from the runners up front. The Ugandans will take it up. Look at the gap between first and last after 60 m. There was a bit of crossing going on after the first corner. Look at the race getting spread out compared to what it was. We will have none of that, he says. The American is in third. They are getting on to some heels and trying to avoid some trouble. Here they go completing the first lap. 59.23, after the previous heat. This is much better. A whole host of these men might be rewarded after this positive start to the race with the prized place in the semifinals. This is a really good opportunity for some of the men who feel they may not have the rule of speed to finish in the top six to make sure they are in the mix come the semifinals. Classic 70s throwback, that long hair. You cannot miss him in a race. The is really sharp when he gets it right, the man in 4th. He is just tracking the Ugandan. They are on track here to get a lot of men through in the automatic qualifying spots. The Belgian is in fifth. One man is being detached as they come down the straight. The man from Turkey is 20 m off the bat. The best of them want to make absolutely certain. The mercurial youngster from Kenya, one of the fastest men in the world this year. The pace starts to increase. Blankenship's pace starts to increase too. He will need a fair bit of speed. He will have to go from where he is, and he is in all sorts of trouble back there. The Kenyan is running to the front. Look at Nick Willis at the end. Nick Willis is up through the mixed zone. He has done his part of the job and expended very little energy doing so. Every single one and that lead group will go through, but almost everyone we saw in the blanket finish will proceed to the semifinals. There wasn't more than a second and a half between third and 9th or 10th. It was cosmetic and the last little bit. Nick Willis takes ninth place in the black. They have been able to get themselves in the automatic qualifying spots. There is properly a gap of only a quarter of a second with the first six over the line. Just a little separation between the others. But because of the difference in the time, there should be some happy faces after that. The news is good for the qualifiers because of the quicker pace there. They will all get through. We finish up with 10 runners getting through.

The woman qualify into groups - 19 ladies In each group. Eliza McCartney, congratulations. You made it through. Yes, I did. Did you nail it it? I nailed it enough. What was the vaulting like? I blew through a poles. which means I make them too soft. Once I got up all right, I was fine. Good practice for the final. You have been on the world stage only a fraction of time compared to your competitors. This is my first year as a senior. I'm really learning. The qualifier is such a hard event. It's quite stressful. You can relax a bit more knowing you are in the final. A excited? It is pretty exciting. Everything is exciting. Congratulations and good luck. Thank you very much. There is a situation - some 24 points clear. There is a battle on there for sure. Every lap, there is a sprint in which points will be awarded. Reminder of the points race, every 10 laps, a sprint picks up five points second, three, fourth, one. Every rider who lapped the field will gain 20 points. Anyone who is let will lose 20 points. Those points will be added to the overall points brought into the points race to give a grand total on which the medals will be awarded. Laura Trott of Great Britain came into this omnium as the favourite, having won in London in 2012. She has performed under pressure and has a handy lead coming into this round. Five riders out in front, they are the leaders on the track. Three laps to go until Sprint points. This is when it becomes technical. They don't want to take 20. Let's for the Sprint lap. Will they judge the so they don't make contact? 20 points. There for those five riders. PointS havebeen collected by those five. Dideriksen pushes on. Dideriksen now, Laura Trott gives chase as well. Laura Trott, she is riding absolutely superbly. Looks like these three riders out in front will take five, three, and two. We will see the Sprint. It looks like the silver medal contenders will see out this Sprint. There is Laure at the front. Three riders making contact for the Sprint. Points awarded for the three riders who just took a lap. One effect the top of the standings too much. D'Hoore trying to put Hammer under a little pressure. Hammer is a strong endurance rider. A real fighter between Belgium and the United States for the silver medal. Sarah is one point in front of the D'Hoore. What about Lauren Ellis? She has picked up 69 points, three laps into fourth place. She is still some way off bronze, but she is riding amazingly. This is a specialist discipline. She is really fantastic. To move into fourth position at the Olympic Games is quite an achievement. We are into the last nine laps of the points race. The battle is all about silver. Laura Trott well when a second gold medal here, oof that there is little doubt. It is all about who will take silver and bronze. Check out this ride of the New Zealand woman, she is absolutely on fire in this points race. She said on fourth position. You will now see gold, silver, bronze and fourth and fifth, breaking away with seven laps to go. Dideriksen is 10 point sbehind 3rd. Lauren Ellis is 14 points off. A real battle going on. Five laps to go, and Laura Trott looks to be the Olympic champion a game here in Rio, four years after claiming a victory in London 2012. The race is on for the silver medal between Hammer and D'Hoore two point between at the moment. Who will take the medal? Only four laps remaining. Laura Trott riding like a champion. She is not defensive, she has reacted to all the moves. She hasn't picked up all the point she can. She hears the bell going on for the minor placings behind. The ride is now going up to 2 laps to go. D'Hoore on the front.. Can she take the points from Sarah Hammer? It looks like Sarah Hammer is then the better position here to take the silver medal. D'Hoore just hanging on. A bronze medal in the bag. Sarah Hammer is taking it on. She was the silver medal. It looks like she is going to take it. So much power they are. There is the bowel. Sarah Hammer will ensure she gets a silver medal. Delighted. It is the gold-medal. For Laura Trott once more. When inspiration to so many people. She is such a role model. It will be interesting to see what Laura Trott does now. Over the next couple of years, because Great Britain are four-year campaigners for the Olympic Games. She has such a long career ahead of her. She wants it. . Once I took three laps, but I started a further down and ended up eight. I knew I had to dig deep. Towards the end, there were yelling that I was fourth in a needed to catch up. I dug so deep and got there and fought as hard as I could for the Sprint. I am so happy with that. CAPTIONS BY JAKE EBDALE AND ALANA DRAYTON.
