There was another Track Cycling Medal for Team Gb today as Jack Carlin won an impressive bronze in the mens individual sprint, winning the first two races against russian Denis Dmitriev for a spot on the podium to add to the silver he won in the team sprint. British women have a fantastic record in the Modern Pentathlon since they first started competing in the event at the sydney games. 21 years after Stephanie Cook became the first champion, Kate French has now topped the podium, storming into first in the final discipine, the Laser Run. Nick hope was at the tokyo stadium. The Modern Pentathlon was created specific before the olympics, to be this ultimate sport of speed, strength, power, also patients, and you also need the skill to whisper to horses. Kate french demonstrated all of the above today and much more to secure a historic Olympic Title for Great Britain, the first for the nation in the sport since sydney 2000. After strong performances in the fencing, swimming and showjumping stages, french went into the Laser Run final in fifth, but just 15 seconds behind the leader. The russians lead disappeared within minutes, french was near flawless throughout the shooting stages and was commanding in each of the subsequent 800 metre runs. Nothing could stop her once she was in Herflow And Nothing could stop her once she was in her flow and the 30 year old who was fifth at rio 2016 power to a sensational victory. It was fifth at rio 2016 power to a sensational victory. Was fifth at rio 2016 power to a sensational victory. It means a lot to me with sensational victory.

It means a lot to me with the delay last year,. Sensational victory. It means a lot to me with the delay last year, itl to me with the delay last year, it was really hard to keep motivated and obviously with rio, the women and obviously with rio, the women and pentathlon have had such a great history, so it was really disappointing for us not to meddle in rio, so i am glad to get us back on track, and hopefully it can continue in the years to come. Ads, continue in the years to come. A really breathtaking victory for Kate French today and tomorrow, attention turns to man you can probably hear behind me, they are already prepping the feel ready for competition, we have jamie cooke, the champion for Great Britain in 2018, and joe chung, who has won multiple world and European Medals in recent years. Theres every chance on 2a hours time we have another british flag on the podium. So Kate French, Olympic Champion, and joining that list of british women to get Modern Pentathlon olympic medals, steph cook, georgina harland, Heather Fell and samantha murray, who is with me now. Silver medallist in london 2012, yourself. What a brilliant performance from Kate French. It was amazing to watch her. She was so graceful, she looked so strong throughout the day, the swim, the equestrian event so her right exceptionally well and that just propelled her in a really good position to take the gold. Itrufelll propelled her in a really good position to take the gold. Well get onto the equestrian, position to take the gold. Well get onto the equestrian, i position to take the gold. Well get onto the equestrian, i want position to take the gold. Well get onto the equestrian, i want to position to take the gold. Well get onto the equestrian, i want to talk| onto the equestrian, i want to talk about that in a moment, but the final event, the run and shoot, so tricky, you have to bring everything down, and she was acceptable. She only missed a couple didnt she . Yes, she missed two shots, thats real position under that pressure. But essentially the Laser Run is the skill of running as fast as you can and running into the range with your Laser Pistol at in a ten Metre Range and hitting the target, so you need to lower your heart rate, hold your breath. Be very still. Because any movement will cause you to miss. And then you need to leave the range and accelerate into your running pace. And to give some context, kate is probably running at about 83 minutes 20 Pesos per kilometre, so quite quick. 20 Pesos per kilometre, so quite auick. �. 20 Pesos per kilometre, so quite auick. ,. ,. ,. , quick. And at The End of what has been a very quick. And at The End of what has been a very strenuous quick. And at The End of what has been a very strenuous and quick. And at The End of what has l been a very strenuous and stressful day, you touched on the equestrian. She did exceptionally well. This is the downfall of many a fantastic Modern Pentathlon because its random, how you get given these horses, and the german, i mean, heart goes out to her, she had a huge lead but she was in absolute bits, because she could not get her horse to do anything. Yes. Bits, because she could not get her horse to do anything. Horse to do anything. Yes, and i think the british horse to do anything. Yes, and i think the british Camp Horse to do anything. Yes, and i think the British Camp will horse to do anything. Yes, and i think the British Camp will be i think the British Camp will be hoping that horses taken out of the draw for tomorrow but a sense of what has happened here is, its heartbreaking to watch someone crying and in distress, was eliminated in the first round because Pen Tablets share horses with someone down the field who will go first, so that horse was ridden by another athlete from the roc, she was eliminated, so the horse was distressed, now the german athlete would have to get on the horse, just 20 minutes to com the horse down and former reporter and him with confidence, and i think she is not the strongest rider, so i think she would have panicked when she saw that happening. And would also unfold it with her right and ultimately destroyed her chances of winning a medal. But ultimately destroyed her chances of winning a medal. Ultimately destroyed her chances of winning a medal. But Kate French is the champ in winning a medal. But Kate French is the champ in. Lets winning a medal. But Kate French is the champ in. Lets hope winning a medal. But Kate French is the champ in. Lets hope that winning a medal. But Kate French is the champ in. Lets hope that horse | the champ in. Lets hope that horse has a day off tomorrow. What do you think will happen tomorrow . Its a think will happen tomorrow . Its a new day and think will happen tomorrow . Its a new day and as think will happen tomorrow . Its a new day and as we think will happen tomorrow . Its a new day and as we know, think will happen tomorrow . It� s. New day and as we know, anything can happen but i thinkjoe chan has a really good chance of the Gold Medal, an strong swimmer, he also will hopefully ride really well, the team are well supported, they have their coach out there with them, and in the Laser Run, he is very strong, as well. Joe choong. And we also have the british acid as well. But today was a really good day for kate and to have britton back winning medals is really good to see and i feel so proud. Medals is really good to see and i feel so proud feel so proud. Thanks very much indeed. Still no gold for Great Britain at the athletics, but they came so close.

Lets get a bit more on todays british showing at the athletics. I spoke to former 800 metre runner, Jenny Meadows and started by asking her about laura muirs Silver Medal. Laura is going into that olympic final knowing she is in her best shape, this is her moment. You never know whats around the corner. So i just thought she acquitted herself really well. She covered every single move. Sifan hassan, i think she ran herself out of the gold or silver, actually, by going to the front. Faith kipyegon was always going to be the one to beat. But i thinkjust that going to be the one to beat. But i think just that realisation, going to be the one to beat. But i thinkjust that realisation, once laura crossed the line, all of her hopes and dreams have come true. I dont think she thought she could win the gold. I think she thought a silver was a good bit as she could do, because again, she was against a very tough athlete in faith kipyegon, the reigning Olympic Champion, and that is lauras first medal, so i think it would have been just that relief that shes actually finally done it after so many global championships, world championships, she is fifth and sixth, so to actually get her hands and sixth, so to actually get a handle on that Silver Medal is incredible. Thats because she has come because she has Silver Medal is incredible. Thats because she has she has come fourth, fifth and sixth. An acquisition, she improved her record. I cant quite wrap my head around the sort of times. If we look back to Dame Kelly holmes, she was running 3. 5 seven, we are now three quicker than kelly holmes. Its astonishing. Still no gold for the british athletics team, doesnt look like will] the british athletics team, doesnt look like , look like will get when either, but so close, look like will get when either, but so close. So look like will get when either, but so close, so close. Look like will get when either, but so close, so close. 100th look like will get when either, but so close, so close. 100th Of look like will get when either, but so close, so close. 100th Of a so close, so close. 100th Of A Second at the mens 4x100. Mr; so close, so close. 100th Of A Second at the mens 4x100. My heart was in my mouth second at the mens 4x100. My heart was in my mouth those second at the mens 4x100. My heart was in my mouth those last second at the mens 4x100. My heart was in my mouth those last 50 was in my mouth those last 50 metres, and to lose by one 100th Of A Second, agonisingly close. But i think if someone had said they would get a Silver Medal before that, they would have took it. They were fifth in Qualifying. I would have took it. They were fifth in Qualifying in Qualifying. I think he really beat in Qualifying. think he really beat u in Qualifying. I think he really beat up on in Qualifying. think he really beat up on himself in Qualifying. I think he really. Beat up on himself afterwards. In Qualifying. I think he really beat up on himself afterwards. He did, beat up on himself afterwards. He did, and again, the contrast of emotions, watching the italian team, on the last leg, who brought the best in home and delivered that Gold Medal for italy, best in home and delivered that Gold Medalfor italy, and best in home and delivered that Gold Medal for italy, and the best in home and delivered that Gold Medalfor italy, and the british best in home and delivered that Gold Medal for italy, and the british as itjust really blaming himself. I hope his Team Mates support him because he ran an incredible leg, and a Silver Medal is nothing to be ashamed of, he did brilliantly, and the time was great, 37. 51 seconds. Plenty more medals to be won over the final Weekend Lauren Price will fight for gold on sunday. It was really close in her middleweight Semi Final, and got even tougher for price against her dutch opponent, nouchka fontijn, when she was docked a point for excessive holding in the second round. But against an opponent she has faced in several major finals, price fought back in the last round to edge victory, to book her place in the Gold Medal contest on sunday against chinas li qian. Each fight, you go out and go really hard, today the amount of times obviously, its like Number One and number two in the world, so the amount of times weve met, its nothing new to me going into the final, ive been here before, World Pot and the europeans and stuff like that, so its nothing to me, but its everyones dream to get that olympic final, and i will do my utmost to bring back the gold. Tom daley has qualified for the mens 10 Metres Platform Semi Final as he looks to become a double Olympic Champion in tokyo. Daley took gold in the synchronised 10 Metres Platform alongside Matty Lee earlier in the the games. He improved with every dive in Qualifying, and that bodes well for the Semi Finals and hopefully the final, which both take place tomorrow. We havent dived in competitions like, nowhere near as regularly as we would in a normal year, so for the last 18 months weve gone from not competing to all of a sudden being at the other big games, which can be a bit intense. But at the same time its exciting to be able to compete, i didnt dive my best by far today, to compete, i didnt dive my best by fartoday, but to compete, i didnt dive my best by far today, but fourth place, qualified for the semifinals, so onwards and upwards from here. The Hockey Competition is all over, netherlands women are champions after beating argentina and Great Britain, who won gold in rio, came away with bronze after a thrilling game against india, 2 0 up, 3 2 down, and winning Li 3 in The End. Michael redford reports. Under the Burning Sun in tokyo, one final chance to shine. For Great Britain and india, it was now or never. Who could handle the heat . The two teams had already met in the group stage, with Great Britain winning 4 1. The early stages here suggested a similar scoreline seemed likely. Britains dominance, though, eventually told. Came off an indian player and Great Britain are ahead. It was a goal that woke india up. Thankfully for Great Britain, Maddie Hinch was alert as well. What a save from Maddie Hinch that save was all the more important that shortly after Sarah Robertson picked the perfect time to score her first goal of the tournament. Great britain in control. Maybe not. Gurjit kaur with a precise finish. And when india had a second Penalty Corner moments later, Great Britain didnt learn their lesson. Hinch is beaten again and india are level the momentum had changed. India now in control and in front at half time, what had begun as a Dream Quarter turned into a bit of a nightmare. They needed somebody to awaken them from their slump. Step forward Captain Hollie Pearne webb. All square, the match now delicately poised. And it swung in gbs favour. Grace balsdon with the effort. The relief clear for all to see. And this time there would be no comeback. Bronze medal for Great Britain its been a tough five years. Really, really tough. And i can be proud of them all. We are all here because we still had that little bit of belief deep down. They have been loads of times over the years when we doubted if we could achieve this. And im just so pleased and proud of everyone that we have. Bronze in 2012, gold in 2016, bronze in 2021. For a third successive olympic games, great Britains Hockey Team are celebrating once again. Michael radford, bbc news. Lets have a quick look at some of the other olympic headlines. After bronze medals at the last two games, canadas women are the olympic football champions. It was 1 all after extra time against sweden, so went to penalties which the canucks won 3 2. World Number One nelly korda still leads the Womens Golf heading into the final round she shot a 69 to move to 15 under par, three shots ahead of indias aditi ashok. Rio Silver Medallist Lydia Ko is in a four Way Tie for third. Two belarusian coaches have been stripped of their olympic accreditations over their alleged attempt to force one of their sprinters to return home. Krystsina tsimanouskaya has openly crticised her Countrys Government and said she feared for her life. Shes taken refuge in poland. The ioc said that removing the coaches from games was in the interests of the wellbeing of the belarus athletes still in tokyo. Lets leave the the olympics briefly for some other headlines. The week started with the reported news that Harry Kane had effectively downed tools as he pushed for a move away from tottenham. But the England Captain has broken his silence with a statement on social media, saying that while i wont go into the specifics of the situation, i want to clarify that i would never, and have never, refused to train. He says he will be returning to the Club Tomorrow, as planned. He says that it hurt to read some of the comments that have been made questioning his professionalism. Manchester city are believed to be favourites to land kane, and speaking today, the City Boss admitted that they are interested. If tottenham. Dont want to negotiate, its finished. If they are open to negotiate, of course, not Man City but all The Clubs in the world want him to try to sign him. We are not an exception. Harry kane is an exceptional, extraordinary striker. Of course we are very interested in him but he is a Tottenham Player and if they dont want to negotiate. Nothing more to say. If they want it, we will try. Pep guardiola had plenty to say in that News Conference ahead of Tomorrows Community Shield at wembley against leicester. He justified the £100 million they spent on signing jack grealish, saying theyve offset that by selling some of their Fringe And Academy players. He was also asked about lionel messi, he says they were not interested in signing the argentinian superstar even though he is finally available at a price. The Barcelona President says The Club simply cannot afford to keep him any more, so he will be leaving after years there. Joan laporta offered messi a new contract but the Clubs Wage Bill would have been more than its entire turnover. Though the two Year Deal would have been paid over the next five, the Spanish Leagues strict Salary Rules meant it wasnt possible. The argentinian is now likely tojoin paris st germain. Translation to fulfil the fair play rules, barcelona needed to accept a new deal but that would mortgage 50 years of our Tv Rights and i needed to take that into account, i wasnt in a position to put the future of The Club at risk and i cannot do it for anybody. Our club has a history of 122 years and has a history above any player, even the best player in the world who has played with us for many years who we will be forever thankful to. Cricket, and rain brought an early close to play at Trent Bridge on the Third Day of the first test between england and india. India were bowled out for 278. Kl rahul topscored for them with 84 to help them to a 95 run first innings lead. Jimmy anderson picked up a couple of wickets to move clear in third in the all time list, and Ollie Robinson had a good day with the ball, completing his first five wicket haul.

British and irish Lions Flanker Courtney lawes says they cant get caught up in scrapping with South Africa in tomorrow deciding test in cape town. The lions lost a stormy second test which lasted over two hours and they believe that a host of flashpoints where tempers boiled over were used as a deliberate tactic by the springboks to slow the game down. We cant get caught up in a scrappy and stuff, it slows down the game and stuff, it slows down the game and doesnt really help us. We are a fit team, we want to run around and have the ball in hands, so we cant get caught up in that and we need to try to speed the game up as much as we can. They can throw around as much as they can as long as we can get that ball around and play some rugby.

Generally we are stuck in Repeat Mode under an influence of low pressure, which is producing plenty of frequent, thundery showers. That means that some of us will skip them altogether and others will see some torrential downpours which will continue for much of the day. So on saturday, most frequent showers first thing will be out to the west and then these are likely to drift their way steadily eastward, driven along by a brisk North West to westerly wind. Temperatures will struggle underneath the sharper showers, with gusts of wind in excess of 30 A0 Mph on exposed coasts and just a maximum of 20 degrees, 68 fahrenheit. The low pressure shifts a little bit further east on sunday. That means that perhaps central and southern parts of england away from that low will see fewer showers around, but generally, the theme over the next few days is sunny spells and scattered showers, and the temperatures disappointing for the early half of august.
