Copyright Able 2016 Samba music good morning and welcome to wall of you as you join us here at the venue for the Olympic golf women's individual strokeplay event that concludes today here in Rio de Janeiro. As the top 60 ladies in the world who have assembled here in Rio conclude today with the final round. It's going to be a particularly difficult shot. That is going to be nasty. This is Lydia's close lie at the second hole. TWo club links. She would have been able to play from the hazard. Is it? Is it? If she'd saved par from that, they would have laid down a marker for any golfer insight. She got just about everything right in that. That was trekking towards the hole. Hasn't been able to make a baby today, Lydia. This is another chance. Correction: birdie. Crowd cheers at last. That might just kickstart her round. Gets you back to where she studied from today. Nine under. The former number one leading the current number one in world rankings by five shots. Lydia Ko has been number one during this her second stage at the top of the world rankings, For 44 weeks. A very fine tee shot from Lydia Ko. Birdie for New Zealand's Lydia Ko. To go to 10 under par. Story of the day for Lydia Ko. No 29 today, sadly, for Lydia. She is around 35 today for the first nine holes. Trying to take the water out of play, of course. She gives that the cold steer. You know she's given the nod of approval. Third shot for Lydia Ko on the 10th. Again, she probably thought she should have gotten a bit closer. She looks a bit disappointed via as she prepares her pitch mark. Given the fact that Inbee Park, she might even dropped two shots. But that is not in her mind now. Lydia Ko must make a putt for birdie now on 10. It's his story here. This is a repeat of what we saw in the first couple of days. Lydia from tee to green didn't put a foot wrong, but the patter was cold, and that is what is happening today. Lydia Ko just stepping away to make sure- all, know that is nasty. Seriously nasty in the. The sound as she put it on to the fairway. Lydia Ko has to clean up on 11. This for bogey. From Lydia Ko's point of view, if conditions are like this, these last three holes today will be really interesting. Great in the year. 7 feet also for birdie. Big pat here now for Lydia Ko. His Jamaican then she does. Get her back into the race for the bronze and silver medal. Smile at last on the face of Lydia. Quite complicated this, because of two players are tied for second and Inbee Park takes the gold medal, one player will take bronze, and one will take silver. This is an eagle putt. It's got a chance. What a good part. So chance for another birdie here for Lydia to get her to 10 under, and that puts her in the frame for the silver medal. 10 under par. The class of Lydia Ko the, taking her medal in breaching the green and to parting for a birdie. Now she gets to 10 under, and at the moment they look like your medallists, don't they? Sit tight. Could have a bit of golf left her at the Olympic championship. Crowd cheers she's found her Mojo late in this fourth round. a birdie putt on the 17th to take second place she can't make the putt. She can't make the part and she stays at 10 under. She's probably going to need a birdie at 18. Now, Lydia Ko back 506 yards down the stairway. Eighteenths. Will it be the last holder Lydia Ko plays? You have to think advantage possibly at the moment with Lydia Ko for the silver medal now. She has shortsighted herself a bit here big-time. Trying to be helpful, I guess. Can I have that? Can I keep it? Not yet crowd applauds that's pretty good. Very good from the. She's been missing parts from that distance all day. I can only remember one she's made. No gold medal for Lydia Ko, but is there a silver lining? This for a silver medal. Yes! Crowd cheers applauds number one in the world at 17. Major championship winner at 18, and is now an Olympic silver medallist at 19. And it's been contentious and some issues, but in my mind, the performance of the men and the women here in Rio over the last two weeks in these world-class fields has without any doubt, for me anyway, seen this as a triumphant return to the Olympic Games by G. I can't wait for the Olympic gold to start in four years time in Tokyo. Lydia, congratulations. Don't lose that flag. What emotions went through your mind when you hit that birdie on the 18th? Either way, just to know that I could be walking off with the medal at the end of this week was an amazing feeling, and I had been passing great today, and to finish well with a birdie on the 18th is a great finish. To see the Kiwis out there supporting me and rooting for the ball to go on and may receive a silver medal, is a dream come true. I can't be more proud about tame and the whole country, and you know I have contributed to the medal tally for New Zealand, I'm so proud for that amongst the amazing New Zealand athletes. I know you're used to big crowds on some of the events you played on, but so many Kiwi supporting you today. It was great. To hear New Zealand accents and see the New Zealand flag may be proud. No matter the result I knew there were supporting me until the very end. That's what the Olympics is about. It's not about just me. It's about the whole country. I think I've learned that from here. To see some of the New Zealand athletes like Eric Murray and women's sevens rugby players is so cool. To get their support has been amazing.

Copyright Able 2016 Here we are at Lagoa stadium and looking at the Lagoon for the final day of the canoe Sprint at Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Next event is the women's K 4 500 final. This young NZ combination are under a Danish coach Rene Olsen. Everyone away very well. The Ukraine are as fast as any. Germany alongside them in the pink. Three from the top other NZ crew. They can start explosively. They are all in a line. It is coming towards the 250. Germany were bronze medallists at the world Championships. The rest are really thrusting at them. Belarus, NZ. Looking for that third gold medal. At the 250 slightly ahead Hungary and Germany. Then NZ and Belarus. The Hungary and and Germans have dominated this race for many years. They have taken at 350. They are fighting each other. The Belarusians and third place in NZ and fourth. What do they have left at the end? NZ surging again. It is going to be the two favourites Hungary and Germany. The battle for third looks like Belarus is prominent. They are coming to the finish. And is the Hungary and to take it from Germany. Belarus in third place. The result in Olympic best time by Hungary 1.14. The silver to Germany and Belarus the bronze. I know you wanted a medal today. But you were against some of the classiest crews who have kayaked together. Hungary and Germany have won seven of the nine Olympics. A fifth place at the Olympic games for agree that has been together for 18 months. Amy how are you feeling? That was the goal to leave it all on the water. It wasn't a medal. But we are proud. We did everything we could. We tried to shut down the attack they had at the end. We tried our best today. We are happy with that. Kelly you are so young and against experience people. They have won 12 Olympic medals. You age of first Olympic Games and in a final and contesting against the best in the world. Will it think end zone what you have achieved? We approach every race we do as a learning curve. This is an Olympic final. We are learning from it. Those girls has been in our position before. They have developed over the years. It is what we can do in the future. A long way from red Beach Surf club isn't it Kayla? We knew the final 250 was we're those crews would finish well. We knew we needed to kick at the 250 today. I was just sitting on that line and telling myself I was just as good as those girls. I am so proud of these girls. This experience has been amazing. This is just the beginning We are so proud. You were at the front of the about Jamie. What was the feeling at the start line. What did you say to the girls? We talked about how much hard work we have put in. How much learning we have got from race to race. The main priority was to have fun. That is what I said to the girls. To remove the two have fun. We raised our hearts out. We are happy with that.

Copyright Able 2016 Welcome to Copacabana for the elite women's triathlon race. Here is this one cause. It's 1.5 km and distance. There are a few turns in the. Then we had the bike. This is the incline which is 61 meters and half a kilometre alongside the municipal park year and Copacabana. Down towards the beach volleyball venue before looping back towards transition. Eight times they do that. The bikers 41.3 km. One of the main bread since you don't get a world record in triathlons. The run is literally along the promenade. Someone will cross the finishing line and a couple about time and be the recipient of the gold medal. Here's Hewitt. Looking forward to seeing what she has. A bit of adversity better over the last little while, so what will be emotional finger as well. Her partner passed away in November 2015. He gave up the sport because of a heart condition which he thought he got over. Announcer: on your Mark! Andrea Hewitt nearest the camera. 34 years of age now. You would think this would probably be her last Olympic Games. Certainly looking for a good performance here. She's been in good form this season, but she's surrounded by a lot of other women who have been in excellent form. Hustle and bustle at the start of the swim. 2 to 3 athletes back. The ones behind and not getting the opportunity to get into a full stroke at the moment. A large group coming out of the water here. No unable to gain any discernible advantage at the moment. Coming up to 19 min. Hewitt with a great swim. No goggles. Did they come in to transition. These Nicky Holland from Great Britain. The American girl, Jorgensen. There's Helen Jenkins. Slightly closer than she was in the testy been here. There is the American athlete. Are and on the bike now. Through the transition. Looking very relaxed back there. Leagues doing all the work. Hewitt in the air as well. Sarah true. She's of the bike. That's disappointed for her. The American. She has picked up an injury. She was fourth year in the test event last year. Trying to get herself back up and checked the bike. Looks difficult. I think she's going to struggle here. I don't think shall be able to do it. Sarah truth races over here, and it is bitterly disappointing for her. The halfway point when they reached the blue carpet for the fourth time here. The lead group has stayed together for a while now. We haven't seen Andrea at the head of the pack still often. This is true grit her. The crowds trying to get back into this race. Maybe she can get through and start to feel a bit better up that hill. Along the beachfront her Copacabana. Iconic stretch of coastline, Ipanema around the corner. To win a gold medal here will go down as a real career high, purely because of the location that this triathlon is on. Jorgensen has gone on ahead here. Here is the dismount line soon. They have to be up before the red line. Lisa Morgan crossed the line first. But to put the equipment in the box and head out on the runs. FoUr times 2.5 km laps. Already she's off and striding past athletes before the even of transition. Spring won on the photo finish it could be a photo for the bronze medal between the two British girls at the moment. Looking at the gaps in the field back to Reveroz and Moffat. Looks like Great Britain will get the middle of some description. Days the cat from Jorgensen. Spirig doesn't appear to have an answer at the moment. His spirig got what it takes walloped the American? Allows herself to look around. Allows the smile. Here she comes down the finishing chute. Finally we see the eyes that have been so focused on the gold medal for the last two hours also. Gwen Jorgensen, all the hard work has paid off and she's delivered. She is the first reigning WT is champion to win a gold medal. And look at the motion. It's taken every ounce of courage and skills the triathlete, and you can finally enjoy the moment. She is an Olympic champion. First American woman to win the triathlon and Olympic Games history. Here comes Spirig. The gold medallist in 2012 will take the silver medal here. British girls coming up together. Holland takes the bronze and Stanford will leave empty-handed. What a race. Gwen Jorgensen a 42nd advantage in the end and you picked it up in the last kilometre and a half. This is a great effort as well. For Andrea Hewitt. Andrea Hewitt. Laura Duffy will finish in the top 10 as well. So difficult it is being the only athlete in your country in terms of organisation and logistics. The Mexican finished inside the top 10 as well. This Nicky Samuels from New Zealand. Well done. Confirmation of the finishing positions. Great performance from Andy Hewitt.

Her smile lit up the arena when she realised what she had done. She gets the applause of the crowd for a fantastic performance for someone so young and inexperienced. There was a lot of experience in the competition. But she was flawless. She jumped 3 times at 4.85. She will go back to Aucklandto a hero's welcome for that performance I would imagine. The silver medal went to Sandy Morris of the USA. 4.85. The same height as the eventual winner. The third-highest vaulter of all time. She wins the silver medal. She was incredibly honourable and humble in winning that medal. She had a chance to take gold. In the end she lost the gold medal on count back. It is harsh but it is the way the competition is very often and high jump and pole vault end up. It is count back and her scourge was she had a failure at 4.70. The bar came down and that is what cost her the gold medal. This young lady from Greece Stefanidi one the gold on count back. That is how you win those medals. It was a fantastic performance. Ekaterini becomes the fourth woman to win a gold medal in the history of the summer games. They have attended every summer gamessince the Olympiad started. An exceptional performance by an exceptional lady in what was fantastic, edition in the women's pole vault. Gold for Ekaterini Stefanidi. And the three ladies joined together on a podium to show up the medals. Greece first, USA second, NZ third. Fantastic achievement for all ladies on the podium. Eliza McCartney what a magnificent date has been. How are you feeling? I don't know how to describe it. I started crying when I got my medal. That might describe it. How much of a reality check his is been for you? You must be pinching yourself. Are you in a dreamlike world? It will be funny going home again because I have been away for a long time. But I needed to get back into a routine. The last 24 hours have been incredible. Can we get a good look at that middle? Look at that it is nice and heavy. Yes it is. What was going through your mind on the dias? I only got three or four hours sleep last night so I was so tired. But then I was so awake. It all rushed back to me. Friends and family in front of you? They were all screaming. That's what makes it so emotional. All the NZ support crew screaming. Kiwi house how was that? I was not expecting such a reception. Everyone was clapping it was so nice. Seeing all these Nzers in the middle of Rio. Twitter especially, the reaction to it all. How you deal with all the attention? I don't know. I am not the best with social media. I will get through all the messages. It is amazing the support. I want to thank every single person. It does make the extra mile. This is the moment you want to share with the people had trained you. Moments like that don't happen very often. You are in the middle of winter training back home. But this is the reason.

Copyright Able 2016 And now to the final of the men's 1500 meters. The blue ribbon event of the games. Some magnificent names have come hearing conquered - Sebastien Coe, so far as the only two-time Olympic champion - Moscow's and LA. ASBEL KIPROP, who took the gold and paging and the Algerian Taofik Makhloufi. So will it be a tactical start? Bustos has gone out in front and already they are playing into the hands of the sprint finishes. And deserve to be afraid to the argument, Asbel Kiprop not interested. Abdalaati Iguider in front of them/ Ayanleh Souleiman on the inside. Four men of the class, this is an absolute job at the moment. There is Nick Willis on the left of your picture. Normally he likes to run smothered on the inside. They are doing little more than walking as they come past the judge with three laps to go. Asbel Kiprop content to sit at the back of the field there. The first Australian in the 1500 m final and 40 years is poised it's absolutely pedestrian here. This is playing into the hands of those who like it run in exactly this fashion. One of those others Taofik Makhloufi. He's treating this as a two lap warmup for a 400 meters sprint to the line. You can see him getting sandwiched on the inside. This is absolutely pedestrian by the quality that these men can produce at speed of they need to. We've got four of the top 10 fastest men in history and this is a pace that they wouldn't even dream there's a fall@ that's what happens. Even Asbel Kiprop gets his heels clipped, and that's what happens when it's too slow. I think they'll begin to speed up. The eighth fastest athlete in history dropped off the back there. But because it's so slow he's been able to get back to that group. They'll need to watch the beat her. 69.77 for the next lap, and now they're starting to roll along a little bit. Ayanleh Souleiman interested in getting to the front. Nick Willis and burden that's the way he likes to run. Asbel Kiprop shuffled to the back of the field. Let's have a look. Asbel Kiprop has found himself off the pace here. He's got to be really careful, because this is the kind of race where upsets can happen. They take the bell and there's all sorts of shoving and barging going on. Taofik Makhloufi trying to run wide on the outside. Matthew Centrowitz leads. As a Thursday to produce a glorious race for the United States? Asbel Kiprop now coming up on to the shoulder of the leaders. Matthew Centrowitz and Asbel Kiprop. 200 meters to go. There are real sprinters outside Asbel Kiprop. This is an over yet. Matthew Centrowitz desperate to get the first Olympic medal. Asbel Kiprop coming up. It's not going to be his day. Matthew Centrowitz consent glory. Here's the Olympic champion! Bronze, can you believe it to Nick Willis of New Zealand! Matthew Centrowitz has damaged the field near with an incredible last lap. He went so early. Asbel Kiprop the overwhelming favourite was right on his shoulder, and he has done. What an incredible victory therefore Matthew Centrowitz the last American winner was over a century ago. Somewhere in the stand his father will be in tears. These are the moments these men dream of. Asbel Kiprop had her Beijing but that was eight years ago. No one could get past MATTHEW CENTROWITZ his dream has come through and here's the Olympic 1500 m champion. Can you believe the official time is 24 seconds outside the world record? That is how pedestrian the pace was. Matthew Centrowitz ran up from the front of the race and he said a good finish just as you guys have. Looks like a couple came out. Including the Spaniard. The place was so slow that he was able to get himself back up within the space of 40 min. That got came towards the bell. Matthew Centrowitz and Asbel Kiprop had a shoving match as they came down. Matthew Centrowitz elders form so well. The great champion in Kiprop looked as though he might be dangerous Willis got up late, but Matthew Centrowitz deserved the gold. Is a brave bid for glory when you got so much quality queueing up for a sprint finish behind you. Nick Willis, congratulations. A bronze medal. Double Olympic medallist, that's amazing. Thanks very much. It doesn't feel like the same amount of crazy joy I had eight years ago. It's more like satisfying and I proved to myself that I still had in me. You absolutely bossed it. I was just trying to focus on my game. No offence against you guys. I stayed away from social media for a month. I really wanted to get away from distractions and focus on a perfect the art form of the 1500 meters. Tonight was part of it. It was in a gold. But still very nice to get up on the podium. Relatively fast first lap, second leg a little slower. It got very very slow. I really wasn't all that confident in the warmup and right before the start line. I was like get your hair dinner. It's the Olympic final. I thought maybe Abbotsbury claim for a bronze from the back. But when the race slowed down and gave me a chance to get back in the game, they gave me a chance to get to the front and I got my hair dinner. Too often I get caught at the back. But it paid off for me today. We've followed your career from the mid-to thousands. You are finished and you're in the middle of the leading bunch there. The big thing that my support team everyone was drilling into me, you got to be widely get a clean run. And that was the plan but when I got a 450 to go, the only guys in front of me with the favourites, and I knew those guys could hold it all the way to the home straight and then would pan out. I was trusting in ability of those guys but they brought me home. You're so methodical, you're so even keel. It hasn't struck on. I need someone to help me get my hair back in the game and he said you think too much. Just race you bugger. So I think that helped out. Well, there would have been a lot of people watching in New Zealand. What a fine career as been for Nick Willis. His third consecutive final. That wasn't quite a replica of the legendary exploits of Lovelock, smell and John Walker 40 years ago, but a silver in Beijing, hey is a remarkable tactician. And he kept his composure, and he has a second Olympic medal. And you know that Seb Coe would have enjoyed watching the race. He's still going well as he flourishes into his 30s. Nick Willis takes the bronze. Samba music Captions were made possible with funding from The National Foundation for the Deaf. Text GOLD to 4847 to make a $3 donation to the cause. Copyright Able 2016
