Day 3 - Morning Session

:01:04. > :01:21.Mo Farah in a controlling position, running really well. Coming away for

:01:22. > :01:23.the win. Gets the silver -- Andy Vernon gets the silver. Here comes

:01:24. > :01:48.Daphne skippers. -- Dafne Schippers. Running so well, hurtling so

:01:49. > :01:59.smoothly. Three British athletes in this final.

:02:00. > :02:19.it was cold, wet and windy but nothing could stop the British last

:02:20. > :02:26.night. Three gold medals. What a night of celebration. It was

:02:27. > :02:30.brilliant. A gold rush for Britain. It was fantastic to watch the

:02:31. > :02:39.athletes perform and raise their game when it really mattered.

:02:40. > :02:45.Tiffany Porter was amazing, coming into these championships she had a

:02:46. > :02:50.heat and miss season, but she has peaked at just the right time. She

:02:51. > :02:57.really showed her class last night. She won that title from the first

:02:58. > :03:01.step off of those blocks. Mo Farah had a very tricky season. You saw

:03:02. > :03:07.the release on his face when he crossed the line. It meant a lot to

:03:08. > :03:12.him. It was really good that he was able to get out there and get back

:03:13. > :03:15.to doing what he does best, winning the race. They don't think he looked

:03:16. > :03:20.brilliant but that is understandable given everything he has been

:03:21. > :03:25.through. -- I don't think. He was under a little bit more pressure.

:03:26. > :03:32.Andy Vernon had a phenomenal run, coming in and grabbing that silver,

:03:33. > :03:37.running wide into the last lap, a really strong last lap. Great to see

:03:38. > :03:45.the two boys out there taking the first two medals. And the final race

:03:46. > :03:53.of the evening was the men's 100. James Dasalou had a little bit of a

:03:54. > :03:56.tricky time getting to these championships. It might prove to her

:03:57. > :03:59.athletes that they don't need to concern themselves when they have

:04:00. > :04:04.injuries early on in the season. If they have that work background

:04:05. > :04:10.behind them and they are confident they can still deliver good

:04:11. > :04:13.performances. And for Aikines-Aryeetey, that was like the

:04:14. > :04:17.gold medal, that bronze medal, because he knew he wanted to get a

:04:18. > :04:22.major medal in the Championships. He has been adjusted as a youth and a

:04:23. > :04:27.junior and it is about time he delivered. He had a big smile and a

:04:28. > :04:36.deserved one. Here is what is coming up live this morning. Thankfully the

:04:37. > :04:44.weather is a little bit better for the pole vault on vacation. Steve

:04:45. > :04:50.Lewis, the Commonwealth champion. We have also got a feast of 200 metres

:04:51. > :04:54.running coming up. Jodie Williams, fresh from her silver medal in the

:04:55. > :05:04.Commonwealth Games, gets underway. Dina Asher-Smith as well. And Gemili

:05:05. > :05:07.is on track. Ten out of ten for the headline writers on that one. Let's

:05:08. > :05:17.take a look at the timetable this morning. Polo qualification. Hats

:05:18. > :05:25.have one -- it is more a case of who is here that you is not here. We are

:05:26. > :05:30.looking forward to seeing that. Get in touch either through the BBC

:05:31. > :05:39.Facebook page or our Twitter. Ashleigh Nelson camming in a little

:05:40. > :05:43.bit later. Do get in touch. -- coming in. Lots of medals to

:05:44. > :05:49.celebrate. The conditions were incredibly windy and the schedule

:05:50. > :05:55.was put back by about 45 minutes. All sorts of issues for the athletes

:05:56. > :06:02.and the organisers. I think safety was an issue. All those flags ended

:06:03. > :06:07.up being taken down. It was not ideal running conditions, but our

:06:08. > :06:24.ways like that kind of weather. Just wants to be careful. Checking

:06:25. > :06:27.where everybody is. A big screen there. I don't know what he is

:06:28. > :06:32.looking for or what he is worried about. There is only one person that

:06:33. > :06:38.everybody else is worried about and that is him. He has not become

:06:39. > :06:45.accustomed to it, but he was looking at the screen earlier. He is going

:06:46. > :06:52.down the back straight, 1000 metres remaining. He hasn't had to do

:06:53. > :07:07.anything special. He is going to have to work hard for this one. 25

:07:08. > :07:15..36. Andy Vernon is running strongly. One of the dangers just

:07:16. > :07:26.going missing. They come down the home straight. Two laps to go. Mo

:07:27. > :07:34.Farah in the controlling position. These six are going to sort out the

:07:35. > :07:42.three medals. I did not think he was in the best of shape this year. Andy

:07:43. > :07:48.Vernon, it is starting to look better and better for him. He cannot

:07:49. > :07:55.sprint, Andy Vernon, and it looks as though he is reading heavily. The

:07:56. > :08:06.two Kenyans will fancy their chances of a medal. It is just a question of

:08:07. > :08:10.Mo Farah. Still six men there. When it be great if Andy Vernon --

:08:11. > :08:16.wouldn't it be great if Andy Vernon got a medal here? He is just getting

:08:17. > :08:26.as close as he can. He knows when the site goes down, what do the

:08:27. > :08:34.others do? We are down to a four. It comes to the Bell and Mo Farah has

:08:35. > :08:39.controlled the last couple of laps. Andy Vernon, coming a long way on

:08:40. > :08:48.the outside. He is now doing what we know he's does best -- he does best.

:08:49. > :08:53.He is stretching. And the Vernon running really well in fourth place.

:08:54. > :08:59.These two Turkish athletes between Andy Vernon and Mo Farah and Mo

:09:00. > :09:04.Farah is in control now. A couple of accelerations to make. Andy Vernon

:09:05. > :09:10.still in with a chance of a medal. Mo Farah has a summer work to do.

:09:11. > :09:18.The 20-year-old is on his shoulder. Kicking hard here. He should have

:09:19. > :09:23.gotten away. He looks behind him. Mo Farah comes away for the win, but in

:09:24. > :09:29.the Vernon is going to get the silver! -- Andy Vernon is going to

:09:30. > :09:36.get the silver! Brilliant work from him to get the silver medal. Mo

:09:37. > :09:47.Farah worked pretty hard for that in the and. What a run for Andy Vernon

:09:48. > :09:50.to get the silver behind Mo Farah. Congratulations on a tremendous gold

:09:51. > :09:58.medal. We saw how much this meant to you in your reaction. It means a lot

:09:59. > :10:04.to be. Two weeks ago by was not going to compete. The last two

:10:05. > :10:09.weeks, training has gone well. It meant a lot to me. It wasn't easy. I

:10:10. > :10:15.wanted to run in the Commonwealth Games and they could not and so to

:10:16. > :10:19.come and went the European means a lot to me. The -- will win at the

:10:20. > :10:31.European. There are people who were doubting you. You do not like that

:10:32. > :10:34.aspect of it. I don't want to let the people who buy tickets down. By

:10:35. > :10:39.centre was going to be at the Commonwealth Games in a could not be

:10:40. > :10:45.there because I wasn't anywhere near 100% in terms of my shape. Sometimes

:10:46. > :10:49.it is hard because all of the people, not in terms of supporting

:10:50. > :10:56.and buying tickets and they want to come and see you, and that is what I

:10:57. > :11:00.felt. Well, you have a gold medal now. After the kind of you that you

:11:01. > :11:04.have had, you have been in hospital and the whole marathon experience,

:11:05. > :11:09.collapsing in New York, and you now have this bright moment to shine in

:11:10. > :11:16.a troubled year for you. Definitely. This means a lot to me. It has not

:11:17. > :11:21.been easy. It means a lot. It is where the journey began for you,

:11:22. > :11:26.that European double in 2010 in Barcelona. It sent you on a journey

:11:27. > :11:35.to Olympic gold in world superstar status. I the double in Barcelona

:11:36. > :11:41.and also one in Helsinki. It is about having the confidence to win

:11:42. > :11:47.the world and go from there to the Olympics. You cannot forget where

:11:48. > :11:53.you start from. The job is done, you have to come back. I am excited. I

:11:54. > :11:58.am looking forward to the next race and no-one to thank all the people

:11:59. > :12:02.who supported me. Or are a lot of people, particularly mild wife and

:12:03. > :12:09.my family, they are the ones that have been there and have been to all

:12:10. > :12:16.of the different emotions, so it is great to have people behind me. It

:12:17. > :12:19.is great to have people behind me, my coach, the Oregon Project group,

:12:20. > :12:27.my team-mates and the rest of the guys, they have all been very

:12:28. > :12:31.supportive. You sense he is still quite bruised and battered by the

:12:32. > :12:39.all experience of this year. It has heat him hard. It is hard to see

:12:40. > :12:43.what else he could have done last night other than win like that they

:12:44. > :12:47.get back on track. You can imagine the relief that would brought.

:12:48. > :12:57.Anything less than winning last night would have been a disaster for

:12:58. > :13:02.him. He was dominating, he controlled the field and he ran very

:13:03. > :13:05.well, but you get the sense that he was still carrying the weight of a

:13:06. > :13:10.lot of expectation from himself and people around him into that race and

:13:11. > :13:14.it weighed heavily on him. It is such a strange thing, double world

:13:15. > :13:20.champion, one of Britain's greatest ever athletes coming to a European

:13:21. > :13:24.Championships, which he should win anyway, and feels he has something

:13:25. > :13:30.to prove will stop he has had a tough year. When you set your

:13:31. > :13:33.goals. You want to run a really good time in the marathon, you want to

:13:34. > :13:36.compete in the Commonwealth Games, and those things have not

:13:37. > :13:41.materialised, and it knocks confidence. He has been scrambling

:13:42. > :13:46.around trying to find himself. You get lost. When you are victorious

:13:47. > :13:52.and there is an air of invincibility about you as a person, it takes a

:13:53. > :13:58.wild to get back down and say, I am still me, I might lose sometimes,

:13:59. > :14:03.but I am always going to win, but striking that balance between here

:14:04. > :14:10.he is, what he is about, understanding his responsibility as

:14:11. > :14:16.a Globalstar, he is a family men, on all of those things take its toll,

:14:17. > :14:21.and that when has put his mind at ease. He was starting to doubt

:14:22. > :14:26.himself and he was in quite a lonely place. Everything had come very

:14:27. > :14:31.easily over the last couple of years. He had not had any real big

:14:32. > :14:37.setbacks and then suddenly he was expecting to run better than he did

:14:38. > :14:42.in the marathon, it and it a disaster, but other people might

:14:43. > :14:47.have expected more. -- and it wasn't really a disaster. I think he

:14:48. > :14:54.thought that he might, and the marathon and run very quickly in the

:14:55. > :15:00.way that we saw Aikines-Aryeetey do. You can start believing the hype

:15:01. > :15:01.yourself. The important thing for Mo Farah, he was on a rail Rise

:15:02. > :15:05.yourself. The important thing for Mo Farah, he was on a up to greatness,

:15:06. > :15:09.it is the next cycle which will be the tricky one, which he is now just

:15:10. > :15:15.starting. If you think about when he won in 2010 and just missed the

:15:16. > :15:20.double World Championships, next time, double, and this cycle is the

:15:21. > :15:24.tricky one, because you have established yourself as a big

:15:25. > :15:28.superstar and you have to deliver on a continuous basis, and that is

:15:29. > :15:32.where he comes up here, and that is deadly important, and whether your

:15:33. > :15:36.body can take it, because as you Rise to the top of the ranks, you

:15:37. > :15:40.are still quite fresh, and now you have to keep your level and work

:15:41. > :15:53.hard, and this is where it becomes Dodge Jeep -- dodgy. Did he not go

:15:54. > :15:58.for fast times over five and ten? You judge an athlete's career by

:15:59. > :16:10.medals they win and by the absolute performance, your personal best. It

:16:11. > :16:15.is brilliant but why not attack the five and 10,000 metre records? It is

:16:16. > :16:18.difficult because you cannot do everything. Especially when you put

:16:19. > :16:22.the word in through the winter and summer to end to win the

:16:23. > :16:27.championships, it is a slightly different type of training and going

:16:28. > :16:34.completely after fast times. Mo Farah has not made any secret of the

:16:35. > :16:38.fact that titles matter to him and he has concentrated on preparing so

:16:39. > :16:42.he can finish and dominate the field and finish with the finish that he

:16:43. > :16:49.has. It might not be the same type of training. He might not actually

:16:50. > :16:55.be able to attack the world title. Does he think he can run that fast?

:16:56. > :17:05.15 seconds of the five and nearly 30 seconds off the ten. I absolutely

:17:06. > :17:14.think he can run faster. It is only just over a second a lap. Only a

:17:15. > :17:19.second a lap! It is not a huge amount, he can definitely run

:17:20. > :17:21.faster. It is a different type of preparation and you have to make

:17:22. > :17:29.certain sacrifices to get the work in. As we saw with the relief, he

:17:30. > :17:33.has missed that, and I don't know if you want to take that step back from

:17:34. > :17:36.not racing to be able to prepare and do if you want to take that step

:17:37. > :17:45.back from not racing to be able to prepare and do a for a fast time

:17:46. > :17:48.over the five and ten. Endlessly fascinating discussion about Mo

:17:49. > :17:55.Farah. This was his gold medal last night. And silver medal, we must not

:17:56. > :17:59.forget, for Andy Vernon. We expected Mo Farah to win but we did not

:18:00. > :18:13.expect Andy Vernon to get the silver. He was probably thinking, if

:18:14. > :18:17.I can just hang in there, there. Andy managed to stay in contention

:18:18. > :18:21.and coming into the last lap, I think you suffered a little bit from

:18:22. > :18:28.having to go wide around those runners. I think you will be

:18:29. > :18:37.surprised himself when he looks back at it. He wondered if he could have

:18:38. > :18:48.closed on Mo Farah more, but you never know. Andy did run super. We

:18:49. > :18:55.talk about the aura of Mo Farah and maybe Andy did not quite believe. I

:18:56. > :19:05.think he will look back and think, Mo Farah was there for the taking

:19:06. > :19:10.last night. If maybe he did not idolise him as much, he might have

:19:11. > :19:16.attacked it differently? I know he has a lot of respect for Mo Farah.

:19:17. > :19:21.But I think that the prize was, just how fast he was finishing and what

:19:22. > :19:28.he had left in his legs. Because he has had a rough time as well. He has

:19:29. > :19:31.had some injuries and then has to do some injuries work late in the

:19:32. > :19:38.season. He really came through well. He will look back at that and

:19:39. > :19:41.there's two incidents, going wide and going into the last lap and

:19:42. > :19:48.having to track back out again to come around to get after that silver

:19:49. > :19:54.and he will think, if I could put those two together, maybe I could

:19:55. > :19:57.have done that. I still think Mo Farah had more, he was looking

:19:58. > :20:05.around so much in that last 100 metres. Maybe fear? Part of it was

:20:06. > :20:09.to make sure he was clear so he could wind up celebration up in

:20:10. > :20:11.time. Mo Farah has a whole stack of gold medals. Tiffany Porta is

:20:12. > :20:49.looking for her first one. Tiffany Porter just ahead and it is

:20:50. > :20:53.gold at last fought Tiffany Porter. She is the European Championship. --

:20:54. > :21:08.champion. This has to be special? This is very

:21:09. > :21:13.special. I have not won a gold medal yet so I am happy to finally get it.

:21:14. > :21:19.You were one of the big favourites coming in and it was billed as a

:21:20. > :21:24.head-to-head between you and Cindy, you lived with those expectations

:21:25. > :21:28.are well. It was important to perform when it mattered the most

:21:29. > :21:33.and I am pleased to come away with a gold medal, finally! Cindy has been

:21:34. > :21:37.having a great season and I am very happy. I track there is a bit of a

:21:38. > :21:44.gold rush with Britain at the moment. Is it an infectious thing,

:21:45. > :21:48.one inspirational performance can lead to another? Absolutely. When

:21:49. > :21:52.you see your team-mates doing so well and giving their all, it's

:21:53. > :22:02.beers you on and makes you want to continue on and do your best. -- it

:22:03. > :22:08.spurs you on. STUDIO: That was a Colin Jackson start. She exploded

:22:09. > :22:14.out of the blocks. It was great to see Tiffany take it on the way she

:22:15. > :22:23.did. Her strength in race is between hurdle three and eight. If she could

:22:24. > :22:27.get ahead, she knew at that particular stage, she only needed to

:22:28. > :22:31.hold the final barriers and she could take victory. She came off the

:22:32. > :22:36.final hurdle terribly and it did not allow her to sprint in properly.

:22:37. > :22:40.Which is why you saw her really close in on her going into the line.

:22:41. > :22:45.But the key thing was victory for Tiffany. She really needed it

:22:46. > :22:48.personally. You wonder whether she will really take an hour without

:22:49. > :22:56.confidence that comes from winning a major championships. The people she

:22:57. > :23:03.has been up against in major championships has been Rhianna

:23:04. > :23:16.Rollins and our friend from Australia. To have people like Sally

:23:17. > :23:24.Pearson... Quite a turnaround from the com of games and James of

:23:25. > :23:31.former, she really ran herself -- quite a turnaround from the

:23:32. > :23:39.Commonwealth Games. That was super hurdling. The girls she is aiming to

:23:40. > :23:45.beat, if she can, she still needs to find another two or three tenths of

:23:46. > :23:50.a second, which feels like a lot but she has improved a lot. The key for

:23:51. > :23:55.Tiffany has been the change in attitude. That is appointment -- the

:23:56. > :23:59.disappointment in 2012 and now getting this gold medal in

:24:00. > :24:03.particular, that will give confidence or training is going in

:24:04. > :24:08.the right direction. She has settled into the British group. That change

:24:09. > :24:14.is quite difficult for an athlete to get under their belt. She has done

:24:15. > :24:21.really well but now she has to kick on. Conditions were awful last

:24:22. > :24:25.night. In the semifinal, she ran 12.6. You thought she was going to

:24:26. > :24:32.break Jessica Ennis-Hill's British record. She will not be far off that

:24:33. > :24:38.when she comes to the end of the season. Because she will believe in

:24:39. > :24:46.herself. She will look at that time she ran in her heat and think, I can

:24:47. > :24:51.find that 10th. Here is a couple more medals from last night. The

:24:52. > :24:56.men's discus, he was the hot favourite, Robert Harting. This was

:24:57. > :25:10.66.7 metres. Bit of a disappointing evening for

:25:11. > :25:29.France. She got 6.85 metres. The men's pole

:25:30. > :25:31.vaulter qualification is underway. We are looking forward to seeing the

:25:32. > :25:43.Commonwealth champion, Steve Lewis. , Tait he is clear. England's Steve

:25:44. > :25:55.Lewis! He took silver four years ago and

:25:56. > :26:11.now he has the full set. We were all getting into the vibe in

:26:12. > :26:17.the studio with that little number! Steve in the commentary box, are you

:26:18. > :26:21.feeling it? It has not been the best of conditions for the pole vaulters

:26:22. > :26:28.so far. Slightly better this morning. Blue skies overhead today

:26:29. > :26:32.and no wind more importantly. The decathletes really struggled with

:26:33. > :26:39.that yesterday. The pole vaulters are warming up. Steve Lewis and Luke

:26:40. > :26:46.Cutts in that jump off. They will have their work cut out in European

:26:47. > :26:51.level. A much higher standard. Lavillenie of France, the best ever.

:26:52. > :26:58.The contenders will do well to make the final. 5.65 is the automatic

:26:59. > :27:02.qualification. Steve Lewis, hugely talented. But also slightly

:27:03. > :27:08.frustrated, we have watched him over the years. You always feel there is

:27:09. > :27:13.just that little bit more to come, that breakthrough that perhaps has

:27:14. > :27:19.not quite happened yet? I have always believed in Steve Lewis. He

:27:20. > :27:24.is physically very capable. He is the model pole vaulter, physically,

:27:25. > :27:27.he has everything going for him. Fifth in the Olympic Games and now

:27:28. > :27:34.the Commonwealth champion. Hopefully he is beginning to believe in

:27:35. > :27:41.himself. He is the opposite of Luke Cutts, who is raw and unpredictable,

:27:42. > :27:46.a bit of a maverick. Use talked about Steve Luiz being the ideal

:27:47. > :27:53.pole vaulter, the main man, the greatest pole vaulter, Renaud

:27:54. > :27:59.Lavillenie, he is tiny, you would not pick him out as the best pole

:28:00. > :28:05.vaulter ever! But he is so quick. He is your kind of speed on the runway.

:28:06. > :28:09.Carrying a pole. He has got everything. He is Atletico Madrid,

:28:10. > :28:17.strong. He is the outright favourite. World record from the

:28:18. > :28:24.indoor season. -- he is athletic, gymnastic and strong. Natty

:28:25. > :28:40.sunglasses therefore run over Lavillenie as well!

:28:41. > :28:50.At the start of the competition I think Nadine Broersen. She has had a

:28:51. > :29:12.really good season. Setting a new personal best in the competition. On

:29:13. > :29:20.paper, she is the best one but I wonder how her legs will feel. It is

:29:21. > :29:23.time to say hello to our commentators, Steve Cram, Andrew

:29:24. > :30:32.Cotter and also Steve Backley who we have already talked to.

:30:33. > :30:41.a slow start typically but she has had a fantastic two events. She is

:30:42. > :31:01.off to a clean start, a contender for the medals, the 31-year-old.

:31:02. > :31:16.also for the Slovakian athletes who is a very good runner.

:31:17. > :31:27.The hammer qualification is underway. Automatic qualification is

:31:28. > :31:41.75 metres. This is Lomnicky of the Czech Republic. The yellow line is

:31:42. > :31:46.the automatic qualification. A world student games silver medallist. That

:31:47. > :31:55.is his most notable performance to date. Looks like it might just be

:31:56. > :32:01.beyond the qualification line. I think of the yellow line is a little

:32:02. > :32:10.bit out of place. Not quite the automatic. You will have to throw

:32:11. > :32:20.again. A familiar name in hammer throwing. His father was and 80

:32:21. > :32:28.metre men himself. Can he qualify? Nice technique. Good acceleration. A

:32:29. > :32:37.very good first round throw. 28 years of age. Over 80 metres, his

:32:38. > :32:45.father through. The best here is 78 metres. This competition is being

:32:46. > :32:58.billed as a head to head between the athletes from Paul wins and Hungary.

:32:59. > :33:09.-- Poland. 76.12. It is automatic qualification. And here is one of

:33:10. > :33:18.those men I mentioned earlier. Pars, the defending champion of

:33:19. > :33:27.Europe from two years ago. Making sure that the hammer is released

:33:28. > :33:38.down the sector cleanly. He started compensating by rotating to the

:33:39. > :33:46.right and just hold onto that. Pars just shy of the 75 metre line. He is

:33:47. > :33:55.the reigning Olympic champion also. 74.44, so he will have to go again.

:33:56. > :34:09.Cosmos, a former world and Olympic champion. That takes some doing. 75

:34:10. > :34:19.metres. The 34-year-old, just beyond it, I believe. An early start for

:34:20. > :34:23.the hammer throws this morning. Good conditions. We have seen some

:34:24. > :34:37.shocking weather so far. The hammer throwers are pleased that it is

:34:38. > :34:43.dry. We will find out that a second was his time was. He can take his

:34:44. > :34:55.shoes off, go away, had a bite to eat and get ready for the final on

:34:56. > :35:09.Saturday. This is Lisek looking to get into that final. We mentioned to

:35:10. > :35:15.Ritz involved, Steve Lewis and Luca Cutts, with that great jump off at

:35:16. > :35:21.the Commonwealth Games. Early stages here. The pole vault, just checking

:35:22. > :35:29.that you run ups and getting themselves in shape. Right then,

:35:30. > :35:39.back to the hammer. It is all go for automatic qualification. Lomnicky

:35:40. > :35:48.has attacked this. Wow, that looked like a much more aggressive effort.

:35:49. > :35:54.Quicker. Making for certain that he will advance to the final. His first

:35:55. > :36:02.throw would have done the job. He is probably frustrated that he had to

:36:03. > :36:10.have another one. It looks like it might be the longest throw we've

:36:11. > :36:20.seen this morning. 76.12. So far that is the longest. That is beyond

:36:21. > :36:24.qualifying. A beautiful morning in Zurich. Just about ready for the

:36:25. > :36:38.second heat of the 100 metre hurdles will stop -- 100 metre hurdles. A

:36:39. > :36:43.decent enough start gold medallist -- silver medallist.

:36:44. > :37:04.14 seconds. One or two athletes in this event

:37:05. > :37:12.will be thinking of medals. A great new find for Belgium, just 19, she

:37:13. > :37:17.will be 20 years old on Monday. There are also other medal

:37:18. > :37:23.opportunities. One of the two sisters who are competing today in

:37:24. > :37:36.the 200 metres this morning, then that the athlete from Belarus and

:37:37. > :37:45.the defending champion of France. One or two athletes, the likes of

:37:46. > :37:55.the French women who is probably not at her best. The Swiss concentrating

:37:56. > :38:04.here. The two of these sisters are sprinters and they have been doing

:38:05. > :38:09.very well. It was interesting last night, we were talking about Mo

:38:10. > :38:25.Farah wearing a gold number, and he should technically not do that. The

:38:26. > :38:33.athlete and lay no-one is going to be really interesting. She was

:38:34. > :38:41.leading Katrina Johnson-Thompson at the start of the year. That was

:38:42. > :38:47.until the 800 metres. A real talents. Her 20th birthday is on

:38:48. > :38:53.Tuesday. The European junior champion from last year is now the

:38:54. > :38:59.Belgian record-holder in this event. This is not one of her best events.

:39:00. > :39:04.She is not super with hurdles. But she did have a new personal best, so

:39:05. > :39:07.she sets off well in this event, just watch out for her in this

:39:08. > :39:19.competition. There are more experienced athletes but she must be

:39:20. > :39:32.one to watch. First attempt and he knocked it off, not in ideal start.

:39:33. > :40:28.Cutts caught us by surprise there. Two more tries to go clear.

:40:29. > :40:35.Elizabeth of a delay to that pole-vault. I am not sure what the

:40:36. > :40:35.problem is this morning because the weather is much better. It is a

:40:36. > :40:36.particularly cold. It is not the weather. The penetration did not go

:40:37. > :41:10.through. He was out of position. He saw that in

:41:11. > :41:46.Just watch how well the campaigns get underway here. A very good start

:41:47. > :41:54.in lane four. It is wanted by a mile. . No wonder she punches the

:41:55. > :42:03.air. That is more like it. She might not give this title up without a

:42:04. > :42:23.battle. That was a really good start. A mention at the very

:42:24. > :42:32.beginning, this is a good strong event for her, and she is on the

:42:33. > :42:39.around 13.06, and that will give her a lot of confidence. What a start.

:42:40. > :42:42.The other athletes know that she comes very strong and the closing

:42:43. > :42:43.stages. She has got the biggest javelin, 857 metre throw. A

:42:44. > :42:44.brilliant start out of the box. A good sprinter but the hurdling

:42:45. > :42:46.technique let her down. This is much better. A brilliant start. Good

:42:47. > :42:55.conditions this morning, and a host of season's best and personal best.

:42:56. > :43:06.25 years of age, this Polish athlete. He made it look very easy

:43:07. > :43:10.indeed. The surprise world Champion of 2011. Making a clean start to

:43:11. > :43:19.this qualification process. A lengthy process for the vertical

:43:20. > :43:25.jumpers. They are almost jumping simultaneously there, as you can see

:43:26. > :43:33.in the background. A total of 18 jumpers will make the final on

:43:34. > :43:39.Saturday. Denise Lewis is excited about that performance. Some moments

:43:40. > :43:56.to celebrate down through the years. Really powering away. Not a bad

:43:57. > :44:04.start. Very close in the finish. She is in fifth place. Good run. Oh,

:44:05. > :44:13.yes, oh, yes, equaling her best jump this year, and that just the right

:44:14. > :44:20.time. Gets across the circle quickly and it is long. A fantastic start

:44:21. > :44:26.for pity these Lewis. The run-up was very close. Is it a red flag? It is

:44:27. > :44:40.a white flag. Fantastic. Oh! And here comes the new champion, Denise

:44:41. > :44:45.Lewis has done it. She has not smiled very much during the last two

:44:46. > :44:47.days. It has been tough. But look at this. Thank you very much, she says.

:44:48. > :45:02.She hasn't smiled very much but she is smiling now. IMP is free. Good

:45:03. > :45:09.memories? Good memories. -- I am stress free. When you have the

:45:10. > :45:12.European games and the Commonwealth Games, you try to target both I did

:45:13. > :45:14.not have the greatest start, so it was a real relief to get that title

:45:15. > :45:33.under my belt. I remember her spending a lot of

:45:34. > :45:45.time in the physio room. I always had a huge amount of respect. When

:45:46. > :45:49.you are a decathlete, you are trying to polish your performance, because

:45:50. > :45:55.it is tough out there. I have to congratulate you my dear. We saw

:45:56. > :46:02.Nana Djimou runaway in the hurdles. You were in the bunch when we saw

:46:03. > :46:07.those clips. But that focus, when you are not winning the race but you

:46:08. > :46:11.know you are going for points. Yes, you just have to keep focused on

:46:12. > :46:16.your performances and your personal best. You know there will be some

:46:17. > :46:20.events that do not go but typically well but you need to nail the ones

:46:21. > :46:24.that are. For me at that time, when you have missed one, you have to

:46:25. > :46:27.just keep it in the mix and keep your mind relaxed but focus on the

:46:28. > :46:32.things you need to do and don't give up. You just never know what you can

:46:33. > :46:41.poll out of the bag. It might be quite gratifying to know of your

:46:42. > :46:45.legacy, Jessica Ennis-Hill following and now Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

:46:46. > :46:49.It is brilliant to watch. We all have different coaches and different

:46:50. > :46:57.strengths. Jess has shown that it does not matter what shape, height

:46:58. > :47:00.you are, if you are quick and you have got no injuries, you can really

:47:01. > :47:07.take a stranglehold on this event and she has for the last few years.

:47:08. > :47:12.Johnson-Thompson as well, I think she will take it on another level.

:47:13. > :47:15.She started the year brilliantly. We know what you can do in the high

:47:16. > :47:20.jump, and the long jump, that she needs the world rankings this year.

:47:21. > :47:23.It is a shame that again, the injuries creep in, because the event

:47:24. > :47:28.is tough and I think the training around it is also difficult. It is

:47:29. > :47:32.good to see that as a healthy situation. We will head out to the

:47:33. > :47:50.commentary team for more action on the track.

:47:51. > :47:55.Disappointment for Thiam and Klucinova. Not a great start for

:47:56. > :48:10.them. No epitaph cleats competing here.

:48:11. > :48:33.Zublin getting a warm reception. -- no heptathletes competing here.

:48:34. > :48:36.Schafer, very talented young German. Probably the quickest hurdler here

:48:37. > :48:52.as well. Claudia Rath of Germany goes in Lane

:48:53. > :48:55.5 as well. She is another one that might get close to the medals. These

:48:56. > :49:34.are the quickest hurdlers. Broersen a little slow out of the

:49:35. > :49:37.blocks. The Ukrainian athlete flying at the moment. Mokhnyuk comes

:49:38. > :49:53.through. Ahead of Schafer. That was a very quick time, a big

:49:54. > :50:02.personal best, 13.08. I have been looking at Mokhnyuk's performances,

:50:03. > :50:09.that is a big lifetime best, but she is carrying too many weak events to

:50:10. > :50:16.be a real contender. Broersen to her right to was maybe a little

:50:17. > :50:17.disappointed. We expected the contender from the Netherlands to be

:50:18. > :50:40.a real contender. Luke Cutts, can he make the most of

:50:41. > :50:44.these perfect conditions for pole vaulter? He made a mess of the first

:50:45. > :50:50.attempt. He just needs to settle himself here. It is well within his

:50:51. > :50:54.capabilities. He has had injuries since the last indoor competition

:50:55. > :51:06.but his outdoor season was quite disrupted.

:51:07. > :51:15.He is out of sorts isn't he? His timing was off. The rock back. The

:51:16. > :51:20.plant looks good, the rock back maybe does not quite get him back

:51:21. > :51:25.into position. His legs do not get to the vertical which means he is

:51:26. > :51:31.almost too horizontal as he gets to the bar and he does not get the

:51:32. > :51:34.height and the the top of the pole. Luke Cutts, putting himself under

:51:35. > :51:43.pressure now. He will have one more attempt and he has to go clear.

:51:44. > :51:50.Back down the other end of the stadium, Kristzian Pars, also under

:51:51. > :51:57.a bit of pressure. He was very much expected to qualify easily. Wow,

:51:58. > :52:01.what is he doing? He started further and further round to the right,

:52:02. > :52:08.clearly compensating for his throwing down the left-hand side. A

:52:09. > :52:15.bit like a golfer, the more you try to correct it, the more it goes

:52:16. > :52:23.right. Did he hit the left cage? It is out of the sector. The champion,

:52:24. > :52:27.Kristzian Pars of Hungary, the defending European champion from two

:52:28. > :52:35.years ago and the Olympic champion, may go out. He is in fifth place at

:52:36. > :52:39.the moment. 74.44 metres only. He will have to wait for that second

:52:40. > :52:45.call and find out if it is enough to qualify for the final on Saturday.

:52:46. > :52:56.Wow. That is a potential shock. Steve Lewis, Lewis. Jumping in his

:52:57. > :53:03.sunglasses this morning. That is how to do it. That was impressive. Very

:53:04. > :53:08.precise and meticulous and very considered. He is a great athlete.

:53:09. > :53:18.Is he beginning to believe in himself?

:53:19. > :53:24.Seven other athletes have jumped higher than 5.7 metres. He will have

:53:25. > :53:31.to jump all of his lifetime bests if he wants to get in amongst it. There

:53:32. > :53:43.is Cooly. Is he celebrating that jump of Steven Lewis's? Not sure.

:53:44. > :53:48.We considered the Dean aureus and might have looked worse than it was.

:53:49. > :54:24.-- Nadine Broersen. Next up on track it will be the

:54:25. > :54:27.women's 200-metre heats. I am delighted to welcome our first

:54:28. > :54:36.medallist into the studio, Ashleigh Nelson. Many congratulations. Still

:54:37. > :54:43.buzzing? 100%! Last night was amazing, my first senior final and I

:54:44. > :54:50.was able to come away with a medal. You have your medal. It is a lovely

:54:51. > :55:01.medal. It is amazing, it has a nice weight to it. It even has my time on

:55:02. > :55:04.the back. That is very cool and I love your nails as well! You have

:55:05. > :55:30.not seen the race have you? Enjoy it.

:55:31. > :55:35.Dafne Schippers does not know yet but she has gold for the

:55:36. > :55:51.Netherlands. Well? LAUGHTER

:55:52. > :55:55.We are all looking at you! I knew that as soon as I crossed the line,

:55:56. > :56:00.I automatically felt where I was, I knew I had managed to pick up a

:56:01. > :56:06.medal. It meant so much to me, you can see that. It still does now.

:56:07. > :56:13.Your semifinal, when you ran so close, to one of the favourites, you

:56:14. > :56:18.must have then gone into the cool room to warm up, and think, I can

:56:19. > :56:22.win a medal. We were held at yesterday with the weather so it was

:56:23. > :56:27.quite hard to stay in that frame of mind. I thought I was going to come

:56:28. > :56:37.out and run really fast and I managed to keep my cool. I felt I

:56:38. > :56:41.had even more. I spoke to my coach and we went over the process of what

:56:42. > :56:47.we were going to go for. He said that all I need to do is start and

:56:48. > :56:51.surprise myself. I feel like I was able to do that. I will have to

:56:52. > :57:01.watch it back a few more times to be sure. To go over things. What I

:57:02. > :57:07.remarked about you this season, you have managed to get yourself into

:57:08. > :57:11.what I call the best physical shape that I have seen you in for a long

:57:12. > :57:17.time. Is that something you really worked on? I know sometimes girls do

:57:18. > :57:21.not want to look at their shape and no one have that conversation, but

:57:22. > :57:26.it looks as if you worked so hard on your shape. Definitely. We came in

:57:27. > :57:31.with a mindset this year that I would have to be technically better,

:57:32. > :57:36.lighter, and mentally better than I ever have been to make sure that I

:57:37. > :57:41.put myself in a good position this year to hopefully go on to the World

:57:42. > :57:44.Championships next year. I have worked so hard with my nutritionist

:57:45. > :57:48.and psychologist to get all of these points down. As well as being held

:57:49. > :57:55.together with an amazing medical team privately, the UK athletics

:57:56. > :58:02.guys. This medal is for the whole team around me. Just before you ran,

:58:03. > :58:08.was it not Jo Pavey's medal ceremony? Yell it was and just

:58:09. > :58:16.before that, Mo Farah had ran as well. It was so amazing to come out

:58:17. > :58:20.knowing the crowd were roaring to go, so much support here, not just

:58:21. > :58:26.for the Swiss athlete but for the British ones as well. We are heading

:58:27. > :58:27.back to the field, Luke Cutts in the pole vaulter. Steve Backley standing

:58:28. > :58:41.by. Luke Cutts strolling anxiously

:58:42. > :58:46.because he has knocked the bar off twice at his opening height of 5.3

:58:47. > :58:50.metres. The bar has been reset and his name will shortly reappear on

:58:51. > :58:57.the board and all eyes will turn and he knows it. This is your moment to

:58:58. > :59:02.survive. Athlete find out a lot about themselves in situations like

:59:03. > :59:13.this. He was not selected for London Olympics or Moscow. He proved the

:59:14. > :59:17.selectors wrong and qualified. Yes! I said you find out a lot about

:59:18. > :59:25.yourself and Luke Cutts is made of tough stuff. A third time clearance.

:59:26. > :59:33.What must have been going on in his mind. It is always tough. Third

:59:34. > :59:38.attempt. Questions are asked and he answered all of them. Well done Luke

:59:39. > :59:45.Cutts, he stays in the competition. I think he will settle himself now.

:59:46. > :59:50.This is a height we expected him to be comfortable in clearing.

:59:51. > :00:02.Hopefully he can now go on to much better things.

:00:03. > :00:06.Ashleigh Nelson, great to see British athletes do well. There is a

:00:07. > :00:08.sense the team has a British athletes do well. There is a

:00:09. > :00:14.sense the team has really good feeling? There is an amazing

:00:15. > :00:21.atmosphere at the hotel. All the girls and guys supporting each

:00:22. > :00:25.other. Goldie Sayers gave an amazing team 's speech the other day and she

:00:26. > :00:28.said, compete like it was your last competition and I think the athletes

:00:29. > :00:42.that have come out so far have proven that. What were your

:00:43. > :00:48.emotions, Senior, championships? Last year, even though we got the

:00:49. > :01:01.bronze, we could not get to the podium. Looking back, you can see

:01:02. > :01:05.how much it meant to me. I believed I could do it but when it happens it

:01:06. > :01:10.is a different story altogether. It was just amazing. You can't let your

:01:11. > :01:16.emotions get away with you. It is a chapter that a lot of athletes get

:01:17. > :01:25.into. You have got the sharp wrote it is a trap that. -- it is a trap

:01:26. > :01:29.that a lot of athletes get into. You have just got to put everything into

:01:30. > :01:32.it and you cannot think about the outcome. You have to be processed or

:01:33. > :01:38.event. A couple of questions coming in from Twitter. Who is your biggest

:01:39. > :01:43.inspiration? I have two big inspirations, one is my big

:01:44. > :01:49.brother, we both went to the Beijing Olympics together and him quitting

:01:50. > :01:57.almost inspired me to carry on and continue, because injuries are part

:01:58. > :02:03.of the game, but he inspired me just to keep going even when times were

:02:04. > :02:10.rough, just keep going. Jeanette Quan Chi is also one of my big

:02:11. > :02:16.inspirations. As spoke to her on the way here and she told me she was

:02:17. > :02:24.proud of me. -- I spoke to her. After finishing sixth in the Beijing

:02:25. > :02:32.Olympics, just fantastic. What aged you realise you could make it as an

:02:33. > :02:37.athlete? -- did you realise. I think I was 14 or 15, that is when I kind

:02:38. > :02:47.of thought, hey, I am all right at this? By Mike Carey on! Are brother

:02:48. > :03:05.and I -- I might carry on! My brother and I, he was always there

:03:06. > :03:15.for me and I wanted to be there for him. I just remember the two

:03:16. > :03:21.siblings, being so dominant as a young athletes coming through. Your

:03:22. > :03:29.brother retired and you lost your way little bit, with injuries, and

:03:30. > :03:41.to build yourself back up and make the changes that you have, it is

:03:42. > :03:51.really remarkable. I think injury played a big part in one eye was

:03:52. > :04:01.going through. To be so great as eight Junior and have a few years

:04:02. > :04:13.where it doesn't come as easily anymore and you have to work really

:04:14. > :04:21.hard, I am not scared of hard work but it was just getting knocked back

:04:22. > :04:29.down and not having anything to show for all the work that I had put in.

:04:30. > :04:31.I cut great friends and family who support me and they are a big credit

:04:32. > :04:32.to what I have been able to do. I have begins a witness for the next

:04:33. > :04:33.event. Jodie Williams, a sprinting superstar, coming up. Such young

:04:34. > :04:35.talent. My first Commonwealth multisports event. I knew I was

:04:36. > :04:37.going to take a PB. I cannot have asked for more from the race. Jodie

:04:38. > :04:41.Williams, well placed at the moment. Trying to get there. The best race

:04:42. > :04:55.of my life. By the people could tell from my reaction to much it meant to

:04:56. > :05:03.me. -- I think. It is a massive relief to come away with a meadow,

:05:04. > :05:08.and to do it in front of a home crowd is amazing. I was overjoyed.

:05:09. > :05:12.Any athlete can tell you that when you have setbacks it makes it so

:05:13. > :05:20.much special when you have these special moments.

:05:21. > :05:30.Jodie Williams crashes out of the race. That is not good news. One of

:05:31. > :05:37.Britain's brightest young athletic stars. I had never had a low in my

:05:38. > :05:42.career, so to be out for almost two years, it was devastating. It still

:05:43. > :05:49.hurts to this day. The Commonwealth makes up for that it would've it.

:05:50. > :06:00.Away they go, and England had it with Jodie Williams. England takes

:06:01. > :06:05.the bronze medal. So happy, so nice to do it with a team, it was such a

:06:06. > :06:10.special night. We are still looking to beat the national record.

:06:11. > :06:15.Definitely within our grasp. It is about getting the right time and the

:06:16. > :06:20.right conditions. I we can take that out this year. There is so much to

:06:21. > :06:31.come from our team. I would love to get a medal again but it is a whole

:06:32. > :06:35.different kettle of fish. I still think there is more to give. I think

:06:36. > :06:43.of the time can come down a little bit more. I am really looking

:06:44. > :06:49.forward to exert no. You could say that Rajesh women's sprinting has

:06:50. > :06:57.never been better. At the moment, all of the girls are on fire. --

:06:58. > :07:02.British women. We have a great, three, especially coming together

:07:03. > :07:13.for a relay. Jodie Williams, an amazing youth Junior, 100 or more

:07:14. > :07:18.winning streak. Jodie Williams and I get on quite well, we are quite

:07:19. > :07:25.similar, and she is an amazing character. What you see on the track

:07:26. > :07:29.is a very steely gutsy performer, and she is quite like that in real

:07:30. > :07:37.life, she has very strong character and she is great. There is also the

:07:38. > :07:47.younger Williams. Talk a little bit about her. She is another --

:07:48. > :07:54.Priyanka will stop she is another talent coming through. She works

:07:55. > :07:59.really really hard. It is amazing to see so many talented females. It is

:08:00. > :08:08.phenomenal, the resurgence of sprinting for women. It is really

:08:09. > :08:13.good to see. You all to strive to improve every single day to be the

:08:14. > :08:19.main one in each event, and it can only bring our sport to strength to

:08:20. > :08:25.strength. You will get that record, you know. Better do. Do. Denise

:08:26. > :08:35.Lewis has repositioned to the commentary box. -- better to! She is

:08:36. > :08:43.bringing glamour to the commentary box. Us three tramps sitting here.

:08:44. > :08:49.The sun has disappeared temporarily but it is still a pleasant morning.

:08:50. > :08:57.The younger Williams. A young trio that sets out for Britain in the 200

:08:58. > :09:04.metres this morning. The 20-year-old who took silver and bronze, Jodie

:09:05. > :09:14.Williams, and the women in lane two, the young, -- Bianca Williams. It

:09:15. > :09:32.should be very comfortable for her. Like Jodie Williams, hoisted herself

:09:33. > :09:36.up the UK list with a personal best. There is that new personal best ride

:09:37. > :09:42.in Glasgow. That was a couple of weeks ago. A generous qualifying

:09:43. > :09:52.here. Five heats, this is the first of them. Four will go through

:09:53. > :10:00.automatically. Younger Williams, the Swiss in lane three, the Slovak

:10:01. > :10:04.Republic and in lane five, the second quickest Ukrainian. The

:10:05. > :10:28.Hungarian in lane six. The sun comes back out as they get

:10:29. > :10:44.underway. Whoa, easy there, stand down, Cooly the Cow, stand down.

:10:45. > :10:56.Just a bit of a twitch there, but the reaction time... This happen

:10:57. > :11:02.last night as well. Scrambling around for the rule on the yellow

:11:03. > :11:12.card again. There we are. Reaction times are fine. Only a twitch. You

:11:13. > :11:17.can get away with a little twitch in the blocks, but a clear movement

:11:18. > :11:25.there. You have to do be deemed not to have actually started. You can be

:11:26. > :11:33.disqualified or you can get a technical warning. As Harry did

:11:34. > :11:38.yesterday will stop let's see if the technical warning is a yellow card.

:11:39. > :11:45.Some moments -- yesterday. Let's see if it is a technical warning.

:11:46. > :12:00.Sometimes moments there. She and Bianca Williams, the two athletes

:12:01. > :12:29.below 23 in this. The inside lane, lane two.

:12:30. > :12:44.First four to know through. Just as she did with the aborted race,

:12:45. > :12:50.Williams moving up. In is not wasting too much energy at the

:12:51. > :12:55.moment. Williams, aware of where she is. -- Golay is not wasting too much

:12:56. > :13:01.energy. The younger Williams did what was required to make her way

:13:02. > :13:08.through there. A really good run from her. Early morning starts,

:13:09. > :13:12.these athletes, these sprinters, they don't particularly like the

:13:13. > :13:18.warm-up, but she looks good to me, effortless, looking like she is

:13:19. > :13:23.breathing pretty heavily. I just wonder, she looks as though she has

:13:24. > :13:28.been working quite hard. The jubilation of the Commonwealth

:13:29. > :13:33.Games, an impressive run there, you just don't know how mentally ready

:13:34. > :13:38.she was for this, even with her coach at the home, you would think

:13:39. > :13:41.that he would get his athlete ready and focused, but she did not look as

:13:42. > :13:48.smooth as she did in the Commonwealth Games. The start was a

:13:49. > :13:52.blistering. She looks comfortable at this stage, but she does not seem to

:13:53. > :13:58.be at full birders. Watch around here, normally you will see that

:13:59. > :14:04.light, quick step, these rapid actions from her, but it was not

:14:05. > :14:16.quite there. Let's just stay -- say it is early, she has qualified, job

:14:17. > :14:21.done. And Child said that she felt nervous coming in from the

:14:22. > :14:29.Commonwealth Games. A little bit of a grimace but she is safely through

:14:30. > :14:35.in this first heat. Two parallel runways in this pole vault

:14:36. > :14:44.qualification. 39 athletes in total. Steve Lewis, first attempt at 5.50.

:14:45. > :14:49.That is good. That is very good indeed, Steve Lewis, first-time

:14:50. > :14:59.clearances. That is what we want to see. Very precise here. Good

:15:00. > :15:03.technique. Some to spare. Automatic qualification 5.65, but a couple of

:15:04. > :15:09.athletes having a few problems, so it might not even need all of that

:15:10. > :15:24.5.65. Good clearance. You can see it is way over that.

:15:25. > :15:34.Well done, safely through, you feel a bit tired? A bit tired. I was

:15:35. > :15:40.ready on the first go. I had to reset and I did my best. I know I

:15:41. > :15:47.did not get out on the second time and I expected that. I just wanted

:15:48. > :15:52.to win it. How are you feeling, the transition from the Commonwealth

:15:53. > :15:58.Games to hear? You have to forget about it. You cannot bring it into

:15:59. > :16:02.here. It is two different things. The Commonwealth Games are gone

:16:03. > :16:07.now, it is not in my head. I have to concentrate on doing well here. What

:16:08. > :16:13.about Ashleigh Nelson's performance in the 100 metres last night? I was

:16:14. > :16:20.so pleased for her, if she can get a medal, anyone can. She was amazing.

:16:21. > :16:25.I want to do well. I just want to run and run well. You did it in the

:16:26. > :16:41.Commonwealth Games, and I am sure you can do it here.

:16:42. > :16:56.No, it is one of the challenges for any field event, you have to be

:16:57. > :17:02.edited fix what is not right. -- you have to be able to fix what is not

:17:03. > :17:06.right. Luke cuts is out of sorts and he has two fix it quickly. Young

:17:07. > :17:22.nothing needs fixing for Bianca Williams.

:17:23. > :17:39.When Bianca said, if Ashleigh Nelson can win a medal, anyone can, don't

:17:40. > :17:51.take it like that. I think if Jodie Williams had looked at the start

:17:52. > :18:03.list, maybe at the beginning of the season, she might have gone a bit

:18:04. > :18:09.nervous. But she has moved on. Pohrebnyak made it to the

:18:10. > :18:19.semifinal. Kambundji, what a great performer.

:18:20. > :18:27.Ashleigh Nelson just got ahead of her.

:18:28. > :18:35.That Swiss corner, they are very good, they are putting up Swiss

:18:36. > :18:45.flags, most of the names make a pattern in the seats. Jodie Williams

:18:46. > :18:50.is in Lane 7. Ekelund is in Lane 3, 17 years old, just won a medal at

:18:51. > :18:54.the world junior championships. She is a pretty good athlete and

:18:55. > :19:10.improving this year. She ran 22.92 last year.

:19:11. > :19:43.We need to watch some of the young juniors coming through as well.

:19:44. > :19:51.Jodie Williams turns it on a little bit and shows the class she has got

:19:52. > :20:01.in this field. Kambundji took second place. Pohrebnyak and Ekelund other

:20:02. > :20:04.two qualifiers. It was not the best start and a fairly easy bend and

:20:05. > :20:12.into the home straight. She ran hard. She puts on a little bit of

:20:13. > :20:17.acceleration here and she moves away from the others and then she can

:20:18. > :20:24.relax. We saw Jodie Williams right at her best. Effortless style of

:20:25. > :20:28.running she has. Such immaturity from her, she seems to have taken it

:20:29. > :20:41.up another level this season. Isa such mature T from her -- such

:20:42. > :21:05.maturity from her. Easy qualifying. This athlete has a personal best of

:21:06. > :21:21.5.73. No, oh my word, his right hand

:21:22. > :21:31.slipped, so crucial. As he's still got his skin on it, I am sure he is

:21:32. > :21:37.asking. Fortunately landed on the mat, the momentum took him through.

:21:38. > :21:46.That will give him something to think about for his second attempt.

:21:47. > :21:51.Luke Cutts getting a bit of a work-out here this morning, this is

:21:52. > :22:02.his second attempt. It looked better but something is not right with Luke

:22:03. > :22:12.cuts. -- Luke Cutts. A good rock back but then he bailed out there,

:22:13. > :22:13.he is leaving his leg behind. The body swings like a pendulum and he

:22:14. > :22:15.is missing it and that is two body swings like a pendulum and he

:22:16. > :22:24.is missing it and that is fouls for Luke Cutts.

:22:25. > :22:35.The track feels very quick. It is very hard, the surface. But it was a

:22:36. > :22:37.good race, I cannot complain. You looked in complete control as you

:22:38. > :22:47.have through the Commonwealth into here. It is good to get another job

:22:48. > :22:51.20 under my belt. The more consistent I can get at that level

:22:52. > :22:57.means I will be ready for another big drop next year. You are back

:22:58. > :23:02.tonight for the semifinals. It is a nicer timetable than the common of

:23:03. > :23:04.games. I prefer that, I can go home and eat and nap and come back and do

:23:05. > :23:16.it all again. End you are, means another under 23

:23:17. > :23:38.record. -- NUR. Ashleigh Nelson is still alongside

:23:39. > :23:44.me and Colin. You were talking about the track and how quick it was an

:23:45. > :23:49.Jodie Williams mentioned it as well. It is unlike any surface I have run

:23:50. > :23:55.on before. It is quite hard and almost as soon as you put your foot

:23:56. > :24:01.on the floor, it comes back up. It is amazing. The reaction you get off

:24:02. > :24:09.the track is great. 10% better return of energy, Steve Backley was

:24:10. > :24:13.saying the other day. Very pleased with how the track has turned out.

:24:14. > :24:19.It has not been laid very long. Only a few weeks. It needed a bit of time

:24:20. > :24:24.to settle down. What also help is that it has been a little chilly

:24:25. > :24:29.which tightens up the track. The sprinters are really seeing the

:24:30. > :24:33.benefit. Jodie Williams looked fantastic. She looks completely in

:24:34. > :24:41.control of that race. Keeping her for. She technically does not break

:24:42. > :24:45.down. She could feel she was in front of the girls and she brought

:24:46. > :24:51.it home comfortably. You get the feeling there is a lot more to come

:24:52. > :24:52.from Jodie Williams. Dafne Schippers won the hundred metres last night

:24:53. > :25:02.and she goes for this one. Dafne Schippers is a long way clear

:25:03. > :25:31.of the rest in this heat. Both these women in Lane 2 And Lane

:25:32. > :25:38.3 will be challenging for the title. Eftimova only started competing

:25:39. > :25:44.again in may. What confidence Dafne Schippers must have at the moment.

:25:45. > :25:47.Untouchable in the 100 metres and 200 metres, but I think the rest

:25:48. > :25:56.could get closer to her than they could in Glasgow. On the outside

:25:57. > :26:32.Ograzeanu. She is getting better and better all

:26:33. > :26:38.the time of the Olympic rings hang around her neck.

:26:39. > :26:50.Off goes the alarm and we look for reaction times, I think Galais from

:26:51. > :26:57.France is in trouble here in Lane 3. She is a very decent sprinter

:26:58. > :27:01.indeed. Early-morning adrenaline. It was a very obvious twitch. Her

:27:02. > :27:06.reaction time has come up as a negative reaction time. Unlike the

:27:07. > :27:12.Russian athlete previously, she may not get a yellow card, she may get

:27:13. > :27:20.the full exit strategy. It all looked clean their -- there. Galais

:27:21. > :27:49.is disqualified. The one. When you are out, it is

:27:50. > :27:58.harsh but it had to be done, there were so many false starts. You

:27:59. > :28:02.prepare all year for this championships and suggest that

:28:03. > :28:06.fraction of a second you go to early, whether it is a laps in

:28:07. > :28:15.concentration or whatever, but she is clearly devastated. 22 years old,

:28:16. > :28:18.plenty of talent. Dafne Schippers will settle down to her routine

:28:19. > :28:29.again, this will be a stroll for her.

:28:30. > :28:45.Four to go through automatically. Four from just six now and Galais is

:28:46. > :28:50.gone. Schippers is gone, it is a breeze for her to see how she feels

:28:51. > :28:54.after a fairly late night last night, celebrations because she was

:28:55. > :29:04.winning the 100 metres very late in the evening. She is so far clear.

:29:05. > :29:08.That was such an easy race. It was a remarkable exhibition of sprinting.

:29:09. > :29:14.Villa this young lady does not stop impressing.

:29:15. > :29:24.She makes it look so effortless. I am battling here, kept at least,

:29:25. > :29:32.sprinter, heptathlon or sprinter, she makes it look so easy. Unlike a

:29:33. > :29:41.lot of the athlete, she has do cope with these early mornings, she is a

:29:42. > :29:46.heptathlete by heart. She is up on the Norwegian athlete very quickly.

:29:47. > :29:51.Now it is just a demonstration run. Simple, easy, she has time to look

:29:52. > :29:57.around. She is just full of confidence at the moment. She has

:29:58. > :30:02.potential in the 200 metres, to be up there with the very best in the

:30:03. > :30:22.world. Not just the Europeans but the Americans as well. She can be

:30:23. > :30:33.one of the very best. Absolutely. That was a remarkable result for

:30:34. > :30:42.Schippers. The last attempt for Cutts. You have

:30:43. > :30:47.done it already ones this morning. -- one time this morning. That is

:30:48. > :30:57.not good enough. Breaks the bar down. That will mean and ask it for

:30:58. > :31:02.him. Clearly out of sorts -- that will mean an exit for him. Clearly

:31:03. > :31:12.out of sorts this morning. He worked hard to get in shape after an

:31:13. > :31:17.injury. Something was awry. We saw the big flip of the right hand of

:31:18. > :31:24.Scherbarth. Can he go clear? No, he can't. That surely is the impact of

:31:25. > :31:36.that slip, it just puts doubt in your mind. He was not able to remove

:31:37. > :31:44.it. That is quite a big surprise. Dafne Schippers is with me. How did

:31:45. > :31:53.it feel this morning? Early for me. I had six hours of this night and I

:31:54. > :31:57.am really tired now. I'll wait to sleep and then go for the

:31:58. > :32:04.semifinals. You are growing in stature in this event. Yes. A sprint

:32:05. > :32:12.double has been your goal all of the way. Yes. We will see. We wish you

:32:13. > :32:20.luck for tonight. Thank you. She was not giving him too much there!

:32:21. > :32:28.Tell me, Ashley, a multi-event athlete looking like that, how do

:32:29. > :32:34.you feel? I think she is an amazing athlete, whether it is the sprint or

:32:35. > :32:39.the heptathlon. The times that she is running or not just mediocre

:32:40. > :32:46.times, she is moving that she can be a world-class sprinter and is up for

:32:47. > :32:50.the challenge. Think it is great. She certainly looked very good this

:32:51. > :32:54.morning. She said it was off the back of a very little sleep but you

:32:55. > :33:03.would not have guessed. She looks so relaxed. She eased down with about

:33:04. > :33:06.30 or 40 metres to go. Going up against Jodie Williams will be

:33:07. > :33:13.really interesting. Semifinals tonight. You said last night that

:33:14. > :33:21.she was not smiling. They didn't seem very happy. Maybe it was the

:33:22. > :33:24.first time that she was in a big senior fight I got a medal, but

:33:25. > :33:39.maybe they were just holding it in and getting ready. -- big senior

:33:40. > :33:45.final. I think everybody was impressed with Daphne Schippers. You

:33:46. > :33:54.just get the feeling, what is the world 's fastest, 22.18, on this

:33:55. > :34:02.track? Decent weather. The weather forecast for tomorrow is not that

:34:03. > :34:17.great. This is a bit of a find, from Russia, just 19 years old. She ran

:34:18. > :34:35.the 4x400. Maybe she can use her capabilities here. Here is Tavares

:34:36. > :34:43.from Portugal. A big cheer for her. Here is the Armenian athlete in lane

:34:44. > :34:50.eight. Really interested in this young lady, in the world youth

:34:51. > :34:54.championship in 2011, on the reached the semifinal, and was the European

:34:55. > :34:57.Championships at this event, but has really really come on this year,

:34:58. > :35:02.Championships at this event, but has really and she might be a writer to

:35:03. > :35:09.watch over the next couple of years. 51 point -- a runner to watch. She

:35:10. > :35:26.has got Samuel inside, very disappointing in the 100. The former

:35:27. > :35:30.European champion in lane two. She started quickly, as you would

:35:31. > :35:49.expect. Sprunger started well in lane seven. Here goes Jegede. She

:35:50. > :35:59.might just be out of it. We will wait to see how she performed on the

:36:00. > :36:05.big stage, but it was a very well. Semiauto, much better than she

:36:06. > :36:13.performed in the 100 metres. -- Samuel. Times mean nothing for

:36:14. > :36:16.Renzhina. Here she is, really struggling. Sprunger has done very

:36:17. > :36:20.well. Renzhina. Here she is, really

:36:21. > :36:26.struggling. Sprunger She threw those times out the window. You have got

:36:27. > :36:31.to. You got to qualify, look at your athletes and no that you are in the

:36:32. > :36:35.mix. Confidence is everything at this stage. You might have had an

:36:36. > :36:41.early start, but I was pleased with Samuel, she looked good in the 100.

:36:42. > :36:45.I had great expectations for her to get in the medals but she just did

:36:46. > :36:51.not look the part. This is a much better run for her. She needs to

:36:52. > :36:54.tighten up those arms are little bit, she is not really driving the

:36:55. > :37:04.arms like you should do in the home stretch. Good qualification from

:37:05. > :37:08.her. The Russian, she is only 19, she may well have a career ahead of

:37:09. > :37:13.her, but that was not good and she does not go through. She may well be

:37:14. > :37:15.the fastest loser, it has been concerned, -- confirmed, she will go

:37:16. > :37:37.through. Sprunger joins her. A lot of teenagers around the

:37:38. > :37:45.country will be waiting to hear back from their A-level results. You can

:37:46. > :37:49.hear from another one of them. To be in Zurich, had a great experience

:37:50. > :37:55.last year as part of the relay team, and I was able to learn and get

:37:56. > :38:02.experience from the trip and I'm hoping I can apply at this time. The

:38:03. > :38:07.unfortunate thing is that your event starts on the same day as another

:38:08. > :38:13.momentous occasion. It is A-level. Yes, it is a bit stressful, I am

:38:14. > :38:20.probably more nervous about that than I am my race, because it could

:38:21. > :38:26.determine the next three or four years of my life. Hopefully it will

:38:27. > :38:32.be OK. If not, then... You are not tempted to avoid the results before

:38:33. > :38:38.the race? I would like to know my results before the race, because

:38:39. > :38:42.even if I don't get what I want, I don't think it will affect my

:38:43. > :38:45.racing, because I think academics and Athletics should be kept

:38:46. > :38:50.separate, and I do that in my head, and I am not sure, but I am hopeful

:38:51. > :38:55.that everything will be OK and I am sure it will not have too much of a

:38:56. > :38:58.negative effect in the morning. We don't know the results, but you do

:38:59. > :39:04.not know them either, do you? I have no idea. Would you want to know them

:39:05. > :39:11.before the race? I would not. I studied photography. Either she is

:39:12. > :39:15.quite an academic. I am sure -- I know she is quite an academic and I

:39:16. > :39:21.am sure she will get good results. She is an amazing lady. You gave her

:39:22. > :39:27.a bit of a pep talk, didn't you? I am not sure if you could talk --

:39:28. > :39:33.call it a pep talk, but I told her to make sure she did one better than

:39:34. > :39:37.me. I got a silver medal, so she got the gold, so she was able to come

:39:38. > :39:44.back, and I am happy to see her here racing today. She won the world

:39:45. > :39:49.juniors 100 and the 200 here. I think that is what she is going to

:39:50. > :39:54.end up finding out over the next few years, she is an amazing junior, and

:39:55. > :39:57.I think she is going to learn along the way and hopefully she doesn't

:39:58. > :40:05.get any injuries, but I think she will find out which is the stronger

:40:06. > :40:15.event just through sheer racing. Mark Butler, 22.07. That has got to

:40:16. > :40:19.be in the back of your mind when you are as talented as that. She would

:40:20. > :40:23.have seen how the other sprinters had done, she would have been

:40:24. > :40:27.inspired by your performance, no doubt, and she probably thought she

:40:28. > :40:32.would need that sort of performance to qualify through the rounds, and I

:40:33. > :40:37.think, yes, poor Kathy Cook, that could be another one of her records

:40:38. > :40:43.that she has lost to this great, great set of women, talented

:40:44. > :40:48.sprinters, and I think Kathy is pretty proud, because these girls

:40:49. > :40:49.are all talented. Dina Asher-Smith looks very comfortable in this

:40:50. > :40:52.environment. are all talented. Dina Asher-Smith

:40:53. > :40:57.looks very Yes. I was lucky enough to be in the final last year with

:40:58. > :41:03.her, and I was asking her if she was all right, and she said, yes, I am

:41:04. > :41:10.fine, and I was like, what? She is a lot like Jodi, always has a big

:41:11. > :41:13.smile on her face. The main thing about her is, because of her age,

:41:14. > :41:19.there is no pressure, she just enjoys herself, and when you are

:41:20. > :41:23.happy and relaxed, you run well. When you get older you start to

:41:24. > :41:28.think too much! You process everything, break it down, I can do

:41:29. > :41:32.this, I can do this, but just run free. When you have it down, I can

:41:33. > :41:34.do this, I can do this, but just run free. When you, use it to your

:41:35. > :41:43.advantage. Another question from Twitter. I just thought I would

:41:44. > :41:48.check. Fantastic to see you do so well, what is your target for next

:41:49. > :41:55.year? I think next year I would love to go to the World Championships in

:41:56. > :42:00.Beijing and make the final there. I think being able to compete with the

:42:01. > :42:05.B -- European girls, you have to look for the next step, and the next

:42:06. > :42:10.step is the world will stop Dina Asher-Smith is coming up very

:42:11. > :42:13.shortly in the next heat -- in the world. Dina Asher-Smith is coming up

:42:14. > :42:21.very shortly and he asked heat. What a beautiful day in Zurich. -- in the

:42:22. > :42:30.last heat. What a before date in Zurich.

:42:31. > :42:49.Men's pole-vault on vacation continues. Flippidis. His first

:42:50. > :42:55.attempt. That is a good clearance. A men who served a drug ban, it has to

:42:56. > :43:03.be said, some six years ago, a 19th month than and his career was

:43:04. > :43:07.tarnished, but that is a clearance. Good conditions. Athletes are having

:43:08. > :43:14.problems, though. We have seen some decent jumpers go out already. One

:43:15. > :43:24.of them was bath the German. Here is another German, Dilla. 25 years old.

:43:25. > :43:28.Second time clearance of 5.40. He has been struggling away. He

:43:29. > :43:39.continues here at 5.50. He makes that look very easy indeed. European

:43:40. > :43:53.under 20, three silver medals. Decent technique as well. Very good

:43:54. > :44:12.clearance. The very tidy. 29 athletes at 5.50. 5.65. Getting

:44:13. > :44:17.ready for Saturday's final. His Wojciechowski -- here is why the

:44:18. > :44:24.Child ski. He had knocked it off. -- here is Wojciechowski. He had

:44:25. > :44:29.knocked it off. He won the Championships back in 2011. He is

:44:30. > :44:35.putting himself under a bit of pressure. Just trying to sort that

:44:36. > :44:44.out. It is all to do with the foot placement. Checking with his coach.

:44:45. > :44:49.All right, then. Lissette. 21 years of age. Almost like a sausage

:44:50. > :44:57.factory, they just churn them out year after year, new names coming

:44:58. > :45:06.onto the scene of an list back -- coming onto the scene. 5.50. That is

:45:07. > :45:11.very tidy indeed. Impressed with this young men, one to look out

:45:12. > :45:17.for. A bit of hunger and a point to prove. 21 years of age. Looking

:45:18. > :45:26.confident and very proficient. Wonderful pole-vault technique.

:45:27. > :45:35.Looking good to proceed through this qualification.

:45:36. > :45:53.Second attempt, it is Kryvitski from Belarus.

:45:54. > :46:10.All of these hammer throwers in Paul B, they might have the opportunity

:46:11. > :46:11.to knock out the Olympic champion. We wait for that marked to be

:46:12. > :46:35.measured. -- that mark. A slow wind up and slow build-up and

:46:36. > :46:47.good acceleration. That is how to do it. Maybe impressive technique, but

:46:48. > :46:54.just beyond 70 metres. Maybe a little bit too controlled, that.

:46:55. > :47:00.Nicely balanced. He just fell off that very slightly. But that is the

:47:01. > :47:04.nature of field events, you go away and sorted out and have a little

:47:05. > :47:10.rerun in your mind and come back and try to improve.

:47:11. > :47:18.Villa it is nicer today. I was just getting a bit hungry, when you

:47:19. > :47:25.started talking about your Polish sausage factory. Ice cream

:47:26. > :47:29.definitely order of the day. You were talking about the weather and

:47:30. > :47:34.tomorrow, this 200-metre semifinal tonight and then tomorrow, when they

:47:35. > :47:40.faced such difficult conditions, the skippers have the benefit of being

:49:44. > :50:07.The new world junior champion. The list of her achievements goes on and

:50:08. > :50:11.on and lays down the credentials of this woman. There has been a big

:50:12. > :50:21.delay between the fourth and fifth heat will stop let's go quickly to

:50:22. > :50:34.the pole vaulter. It is the world champion of 2011, Wojciechowski.

:50:35. > :50:43.He has to go clear to remain in the competition and that is very much

:50:44. > :50:50.better. 25 years old, named Sportsman of the year in Poland in

:50:51. > :50:57.2011. And that was a very good clearance indeed. He sorted out

:50:58. > :51:00.whatever his problems were. Wow, well beyond that. Very good. He can

:51:01. > :51:26.continue to the next height. Amidei of Italy goes in Lane 5 just

:51:27. > :51:34.inside another big threat from Soumare. She won this title four

:51:35. > :51:39.years ago. It was a surprise when she won four years ago, she really

:51:40. > :51:53.improved her titles in many. Latvala is next. Papaioannou is next. She

:51:54. > :51:57.ran here in the 100 and not get the first round. Karakus in Lane 2 just

:51:58. > :52:21.inside Dina Asher-Smith. Four go through automatically two

:52:22. > :52:28.tonight's semifinals which is when things. Getting serious. -- which is

:52:29. > :52:39.when things will start getting serious.

:52:40. > :52:48.Safely away from the shade into the sunlight and Dina Asher-Smith is

:52:49. > :52:58.roaring up and storming round the bend. Soumare is being left a little

:52:59. > :53:08.bit at the moment. Asher-Smith well out in clear and you might just ease

:53:09. > :53:17.it down a bit to start with. 22.75, just a hundredth of a second outside

:53:18. > :53:23.her personal best. That was very impressive from Asher-Smith. Wasn't

:53:24. > :53:27.it just? A fantastic run from her. It looked like she just wanted to

:53:28. > :53:34.get out on this track. It has been a long time waiting for this run.

:53:35. > :53:37.Seeing all of the success from the British athletes last night and they

:53:38. > :53:43.just want to get out there and sample it. The track that is proving

:53:44. > :53:49.to be very quick indeed. And she is a lovely looking runner. Effortless

:53:50. > :53:53.again, different type of style to what we have seen from Bianca

:53:54. > :53:59.Williams and Jodie Williams. But making the job look very easy

:54:00. > :54:03.indeed. Soumare just not expending too much energy. I hope we can get

:54:04. > :54:09.some good weather for the semifinals and the final. She decided perhaps,

:54:10. > :54:14.I will get out here very quickly and then look around and see what I have

:54:15. > :54:21.got. But the job was done at this stage. She is 18 years of age. She

:54:22. > :54:25.knows that these girls are good. The important thing is to establish

:54:26. > :54:28.yourself and make sure you run a good turn and do the job. And she is

:54:29. > :54:42.downstairs with Phil Jones now. What a fantastic race. I got into

:54:43. > :54:48.kings which is my first choice. I absolutely over the moon. I wanted

:54:49. > :55:01.to go there so much so I am so happy. I was more scared of that

:55:02. > :55:15.than I was of the race! Was it straight A s? I don't know yet! You

:55:16. > :55:18.are through to the next round here. It was fast, I did not think I was

:55:19. > :55:24.running at that pace. I am really happy. We wish you well for later

:55:25. > :55:32.on. Isn't that wonderful? 18, first and

:55:33. > :55:42.she sailed through her A-levels. Isn't that wonderful? 18, first and

:55:43. > :55:48.she sailed Tremendous running. That junior record of 22.7, I am sure

:55:49. > :55:56.will go. Proper coming through in fourth place.

:55:57. > :56:03.We mentioned the qualifiers, great to see Asher-Smith, Jodie Williams,

:56:04. > :56:18.Bianca Williams as well. Who was maybe slightly sleepy this morning.

:56:19. > :56:21.That is all of the qualifiers, semifinals tonight and it may even

:56:22. > :56:33.get quicker. An interesting line from Dina

:56:34. > :56:38.Asher-Smith, "I did not realise I was running that quickly". It might

:56:39. > :56:45.be what is affecting these pole vaulters.

:56:46. > :56:53.Look at that. He has made the necessary adjustments. And I say

:56:54. > :56:57.that the service will affect these athletes, you run quicker and you

:56:58. > :57:02.can miss your check marks and then you end up closer to the box where

:57:03. > :57:06.you plan to the poll and you are out of position. You make the positions

:57:07. > :57:09.and you move the checkmark back to accommodate to the slightly higher

:57:10. > :57:19.speeds and then this happens, a huge clearance. First athlete over the

:57:20. > :57:24.height of 5.6. The rest have passed this site survey of saying,

:57:25. > :57:25.whatever, we're not competing against you today. We will go up a

:57:26. > :57:44.height of 5.65 and then we will see. I can remember competing in big

:57:45. > :57:49.championships, the track can make a massive difference. It certainly

:57:50. > :57:54.worked well for our sprinters. Dina Asher-Smith did not know what her

:57:55. > :58:09.A-level results with but it was three capital as -- As for the three

:58:10. > :58:14.British athletes. You step on the track and you just do not know what

:58:15. > :58:20.to expect. That looked so easy from Asher-Smith. She carried it home and

:58:21. > :58:28.she obviously felt where she was in the field and she did not need to do

:58:29. > :58:36.any more. What Denise said in commentary, you forget she just 18.

:58:37. > :58:42.An incredibly mature run there. Coming from the success of the world

:58:43. > :58:47.juniors. But that is different, junior to senior, that step up. She

:58:48. > :58:53.is a talented sprinter and she can run fast. She ran very quickly

:58:54. > :58:57.indeed and she has been alongside these experienced women at the relay

:58:58. > :59:05.in Moscow where she felt very much at home and at ease. She was pretty

:59:06. > :59:13.cool you said. Yes, she was very relaxed. She knows her ability and

:59:14. > :59:17.she will put that performance like that out. The three women are

:59:18. > :59:20.through, what about our three men? Let's hear from the Commonwealth

:59:21. > :59:50.silver-medallist, Adam Gemili. the 100 metres, to make the finals,

:59:51. > :59:56.I was pleased, but I was ranked about seventh or eight going into

:59:57. > :00:02.it. I knew that if I executed it, I could get myself in the mix. I have

:00:03. > :00:03.never got out as well in my life and I was literally hanging on for

:00:04. > :00:10.never got out as well in my life and I was dear life. It dipped and it

:00:11. > :00:11.said second place and the realisation I had done it, the

:00:12. > :00:35.relief was an real. -- unreal. All of the hard work, trading with

:00:36. > :00:41.my coach and my team, it was worth it for that moment, and they cannot

:00:42. > :00:50.but smile. I was just overcome with emotions.

:00:51. > :00:58.We did well in the relay. We were pushing for the gold. Usain bolt was

:00:59. > :01:04.on the last leg. Even if you have a lead, he will mean you down, because

:01:05. > :01:15.he is something special. -- run it you down. Bolt takes the title! We

:01:16. > :01:19.did our best. We beat the Canadiens and the rest of the teams, so as a

:01:20. > :01:28.team atmosphere, it was a nice way to finish the Championships. I think

:01:29. > :01:33.times are stepped up in Europe and you have to run the hundred metres

:01:34. > :01:39.in nine seconds, and for the 200 metres, maybe a 19 or 20, and it

:01:40. > :01:43.shows you how far tradition and European Athletics have come along,

:01:44. > :01:48.that you have to run these times to win at the Europeans. I would like

:01:49. > :01:52.to make the 200 metre final and get a medal, obviously a gold medal is

:01:53. > :01:58.what I am aiming for, but get yourself in the final first and

:01:59. > :02:09.anything had happened. Gemili goes in heat four. He always has a

:02:10. > :02:13.lovely, big smile on his face, not joking around, but he loves his

:02:14. > :02:19.Athletics, it seems. Adam is a core rate character. I was lucky to train

:02:20. > :02:23.with him last year. -- great character. He worked really hard and

:02:24. > :02:28.they can genuinely say that he works hard and is now getting the results

:02:29. > :02:32.that he deserves. Interesting decision in terms of splitting his

:02:33. > :02:41.efforts between Commonwealth Games and the Europeans. What do you think

:02:42. > :02:46.that thinking behind that is? Coming from football, he has not done it

:02:47. > :02:50.from a really young age like most of the sprinters that you see, so he is

:02:51. > :03:03.just using different races for both of its. He was not so long ago a

:03:04. > :03:09.footballer, I forget about that! As Ashley says, you have to learn,

:03:10. > :03:17.especially in the 200, it is so tech nickel. It is made to look

:03:18. > :03:20.effortless but it is not easy. I really think there is just so much

:03:21. > :03:25.potential, and I would not like to call which event is his best event

:03:26. > :03:33.because there is so much room for improvement. It was 10.06 to win his

:03:34. > :03:45.junior title in Barcelona. Then in Moscow last year, he got 20. He was

:03:46. > :03:48.training with my coach. He gets you into that mindset, he is process

:03:49. > :03:55.driven, and I think he and Adam put a plan together, much like we did

:03:56. > :03:58.this week, and Adam is very good at following instruction, so he as he

:03:59. > :04:03.listens to his coach and they worked very hard together and it will be

:04:04. > :04:07.interesting to see how he does under his new coach. When Michael Johnson

:04:08. > :04:15.was in the studio at the Commonwealth Games, he was

:04:16. > :04:20.marginally critical, for Michael, about the technique, saying that it

:04:21. > :04:27.looks not as tidy, not as neat as he has been normally, so I don't know

:04:28. > :04:36.about the transition. It takes time to get used to working with Steve.

:04:37. > :04:43.It is a new partnership. Adam goes in heat four. Colin Jackson is down

:04:44. > :04:47.there now. I wonder if he will look as miserable as Denise dead when she

:04:48. > :04:50.was in the commentary box! -- Denyse did.

:04:51. > :04:56.was in the commentary box! -- Denyse did.

:04:57. > :05:11.Not the highest qualifier -- quality heat.

:05:12. > :05:22.It is going to go quickly. There will be three semifinals for the

:05:23. > :05:31.women in the 200 metres and only two for the men. 35 for the women, 45 --

:05:32. > :05:40.42 for the men. Three will go through automatically. There will be

:05:41. > :05:44.four heats and four fastest losers. The Bulgarian it goes in lane one.

:05:45. > :06:20.The Macedonian goes in lane two. We have the German in lane and

:06:21. > :06:23.three. Just slightly concerned. It looks as though Cooly the Cow is

:06:24. > :06:35.losing his mind! No women can show off to this extent. Well, it is his

:06:36. > :06:40.thing. Bless him, the little scab. -- scamper. This is not going on

:06:41. > :06:43.right now. He is not the reason that they had to settle in again, though

:06:44. > :06:53.I would not put it past him, to be honest! A green card. A technical

:06:54. > :07:05.fault with the start. Doctor they go, settling in again.

:07:06. > :07:37.Guliyev in lane six. Three to go through automatically.

:07:38. > :07:45.Having a look around. Erewa came through. A good race. They say it

:07:46. > :07:52.will be tighter for the man's wallet occasion. Just three go through

:07:53. > :08:02.automatically. Let's see. Good to finish from Guliyev. That was a

:08:03. > :08:15.close one. It was tight. The race was controlled. He picks up his

:08:16. > :08:20.knees. He starts to look around. There is nobody around him. He was

:08:21. > :08:37.wondering, where have they all gone? A season best. We will confirm the

:08:38. > :08:43.results in a moment. Back to the hammer qualifications. Second pool

:08:44. > :08:50.of 11 athletes. A first round foul for Fajdek. The world champion from

:08:51. > :08:57.last year, made a mess of the first round. But very good in the second.

:08:58. > :09:04.That is the longest throw we have seen this morning. Got it together

:09:05. > :09:14.in the second round anyway. Huge force owing down the arms. 7.25

:09:15. > :09:26.kilo. Some of the strongest athletes here, pulling strength is needed in

:09:27. > :09:37.the hammer. Fajdek, world champion last year, going through to the

:09:38. > :09:45.final Saturday evening. Here is Kryvitski. He is chasing the

:09:46. > :09:52.automatic qualification, 75 metres. He will need to improve. He needs to

:09:53. > :09:58.proceed. It is down the left side. Inside the sector, it will be

:09:59. > :10:04.measured. He exited the circle from the back. That force going down, you

:10:05. > :10:10.can't see it, but it is hundreds and hundreds of kilos, heads the hammer

:10:11. > :10:18.throwers spent hours and hours in the gym pulling and lifting. An

:10:19. > :10:41.automatic qualification and a good throw. Well, the pole did conclude.

:10:42. > :10:44.5.50 was enough. Steve Lewis there, but no Luke Cutts. Disappointing

:10:45. > :10:53.that he will not be going through to the final on Saturday evening. In

:10:54. > :10:59.the next event, we have James Addington. No British sprinter male

:11:00. > :11:03.or female is doubling up in these championships. Coming off the back

:11:04. > :11:07.of the Commonwealth Games, everyone is coming down a little bit or they

:11:08. > :11:13.are reaching therefore. I think it is quite hard to do, reaching your

:11:14. > :11:16.peak twice within the space of two weeks, so everyone has chosen to do

:11:17. > :11:23.an individual and give it everything they've got on and sprinters have an

:11:24. > :11:27.option of the relay, so that will be one to take on at the end. Is that

:11:28. > :11:35.something that the team management has suggested? Think it is more of

:11:36. > :11:42.an individual thing. As you get into the senior rankings, you are old

:11:43. > :11:48.enough to make your own decisions, and you have to go in the situation

:11:49. > :11:52.and take which one you can do, and you know your body, your coach makes

:11:53. > :12:03.your body -- measure body, and it has to be a decision. A good silver

:12:04. > :12:07.medal in the end last night. A good silver medal for him because this is

:12:08. > :12:13.not his best event. He takes so long to get going, and even here, I

:12:14. > :12:22.expected him to be closer to James Tsao Lou -- James Dasalou. What we

:12:23. > :12:30.need to see from him is a bit of that form from 2010-2011, when he

:12:31. > :12:33.set his personal best, and he has almost not produced or delivered

:12:34. > :12:40.since then, the promise that we expected. I think James should come

:12:41. > :12:43.out and make it through to the next round. I know he wasn't very happy

:12:44. > :12:49.with his results from the Commonwealth Games, so he has to

:12:50. > :12:57.just go for it. He has been running consistently well. I am rooting for

:12:58. > :13:03.him. James Ellington, probably unlucky. He has done so well in the

:13:04. > :13:08.heats of the 4x100 and then was taken out of the team and they not

:13:09. > :13:21.too happy about that. The lane inside him is empty. Rise is not

:13:22. > :13:26.here. Safer alongside Allinson. Talking about Junior talent, Thomas

:13:27. > :13:39.Summers is the third ranked athletes, on the Christian Malcolm

:13:40. > :13:47.can be -- isn't faster as a junior. Summers, a Yorkshire men. I am sure

:13:48. > :13:58.we will see him at the Championships one day as well. James Ellington,

:13:59. > :14:05.Danny Talbot. Alex Wilson getting the crowd going here. A very

:14:06. > :14:10.experienced men from Sweden. He moved up to the 400 with some

:14:11. > :14:22.success, though he is not running particularly well at the moment.

:14:23. > :14:29.This is my morning joke. There is a coach called Mr Yeager, and if he

:14:30. > :14:36.cannot run, does that make him the gator meister? Other alcoholic

:14:37. > :14:56.drinks are available, and nonalcoholic tricks. One to watch in

:14:57. > :15:06.lane four. 20.44, best this year, just outside his personal best.

:15:07. > :15:12.Alleyne can it get away pretty well, as well as Lemaitre. Moving away

:15:13. > :15:18.from the rest. He might just have half a metre, Ellington. Lemaitre

:15:19. > :15:24.getting going. The Swiss delighted with the progress of Wilson on this

:15:25. > :15:33.side. But she quickly. It will be Lemaitre, Ellington and Wilson. It

:15:34. > :15:38.will be interesting to see the thoughts of Ellington. You have got

:15:39. > :15:41.to get out there, you cannot be sluggish around the bend. It was

:15:42. > :15:52.good that Lemaitre was there with him. So far, so good for Ellington.

:15:53. > :15:56.He ran his turn well and put himself in contention which means he could

:15:57. > :16:04.relax more down this home straight. It was a well executed first round

:16:05. > :16:09.from him. Let's watch from here, he drives out of the blocks well. He

:16:10. > :16:18.keeps focused all the way round the bend. You can see LeMay trapped

:16:19. > :16:27.outside him. He tries to get into LeMay trip's with them. He starts to

:16:28. > :16:39.extend his stride. -- Lemaitre. Good performance.

:16:40. > :16:43.He has been going to major championships since 2003 but has

:16:44. > :16:57.never qualified for a final. 75 metres to chase, this is the

:16:58. > :17:05.second round. I say he has never made a final, this might be the

:17:06. > :17:08.first. If that is measured beyond 75 metres for the Finn, this could be

:17:09. > :17:28.his moment. 35 years of age. He comes of age.

:17:29. > :17:39.There you go. Over 75 metres. He has a lifetime best of 77 metres. Well

:17:40. > :17:50.done, you are in. . Bilate pretty solid from Lemaitre.

:17:51. > :17:59.You notoriously do not like the mornings. I cannot complain. You

:18:00. > :18:02.know what I am like in the mornings! I could not sleep last

:18:03. > :18:09.night. I was a bit nervous coming in. But I will take that for now.

:18:10. > :18:14.What kind of a bars are you getting from the rest of the camp? The

:18:15. > :18:18.youngsters are doing so well at the moment. The youngsters especially, I

:18:19. > :18:30.think they are inspiring the older guys. Jo Pavey has inspired the

:18:31. > :18:33.whole team as well. I am glad to be here. It is another year. Hopefully

:18:34. > :18:39.I can pull summing out in the next round on the final. What is your

:18:40. > :18:46.routine now? Go back and eat and rest.

:18:47. > :18:58.Lane to personal best, have you got one? -- lane two. I don't think so.

:18:59. > :19:10.LeMay to has almost a bounding stride. -- Lemaitre. Not like a

:19:11. > :19:14.sprinter. He is doing pretty well over the shorter sprints and he

:19:15. > :19:22.looks so relaxed. What it does take him a while to get going. That is a

:19:23. > :19:30.really good call. 400 metres for Christophe Lemaitre? I feel there is

:19:31. > :19:35.such a unfinished business here with the 200. I feel he should be

:19:36. > :19:47.consistently under that 22nd mark. All of his warm-ups -- he has all of

:19:48. > :19:52.being a great 200-metre runner. Next up is Danny Talbot. He is really

:19:53. > :19:59.keen to be here. He has had his disappointments. Another great guy.

:20:00. > :20:04.Always happy to be there. He works really hard. It was unfortunate what

:20:05. > :20:07.happened to him at the Olympics. I think that knocked his confidence

:20:08. > :20:12.but coming back this year, at trials, he was phenomenal. I hope he

:20:13. > :20:15.can bring that into today and run a solid run to get through to the next

:20:16. > :20:22.round. Andrew, over to you. It is a slightly stronger line-up

:20:23. > :20:36.than the Olympics. Danny Talbot anchored that silver

:20:37. > :20:42.for England at the Commonwealth Games. He was always going to be

:20:43. > :20:54.fighting a little bit of a battle with Usain Bolt alongside him. Niit

:20:55. > :21:09.ran well in the 400 is in Lane 1. It has been consistently a fairly

:21:10. > :21:12.pleasant morning, just into the afternoon now. Three to go through

:21:13. > :21:33.automatically. To the semifinals. Cleanly away and Danny Talbot very

:21:34. > :21:39.briskly up alongside Zumer of Slovenia.

:21:40. > :21:56.Danny Talbot just about sharing the finish with Tsakonas. It is a brisk

:21:57. > :22:00.time. There are some good athlete in there, it was never going to be

:22:01. > :22:09.comfortable for Danny Talbot. But he goes through safely. Qualifying is

:22:10. > :22:13.always difficult. Danny Talbot is experienced now. He picked up the

:22:14. > :22:20.bronze two years ago. He ran very well in the trials. He had to work a

:22:21. > :22:30.little bit here to haul himself past Niit. He looked a little bit steady

:22:31. > :22:36.as he crossed the line. He is a nice runner, Danny. He is fluid, he can

:22:37. > :22:41.run a little bit more relaxed around the turn. Always seems like he is

:22:42. > :22:45.working hard but he enjoys the sport. It is one of the good things

:22:46. > :22:49.about him. He has a lot of energy about him and he is certainly suited

:22:50. > :22:51.to this 200-metre event. He safely through to the next round which is

:22:52. > :23:11.most important thing. What is he doing? They are children

:23:12. > :23:16.watching. The technique is good, he showed good technique in everything,

:23:17. > :23:21.all of the events he has tried. The hurdles and the long jump. He did

:23:22. > :23:26.three metres in the pole vaulter and somebody pointed out that would have

:23:27. > :23:29.got him a decent finish in the blighted women's pole vaulter in the

:23:30. > :23:36.Commonwealth Games, in those terrible conditions. Danny Talbot

:23:37. > :23:46.safely through. It was a good run. Now he is talking to Phil Jones.

:23:47. > :23:55.I felt good, watching of the screen, the technique was not that good. But

:23:56. > :24:00.I think I ran all right. The drive phase was good which is what I

:24:01. > :24:04.wanted to work on this morning. You have double duty today, how do you

:24:05. > :24:08.get your head around that at the start of the day? I do not really

:24:09. > :24:12.think about it that much. We are here to do a job and we all knew

:24:13. > :24:17.what the timetable would be when we qualified in July. It is not really

:24:18. > :24:24.anything to worry about. I will go back and recover this afternoon and

:24:25. > :24:34.come back out this evening. I think I have said in every interview, I

:24:35. > :24:39.want to win every race, and it is no different who I am running with.

:24:40. > :24:59.Hopefully I will get to the final. Hammock qualification coming towards

:25:00. > :25:08.the end, third round for Marghiev of Moldova. That makes it go further!

:25:09. > :25:13.Clearly! And that looks beyond the auto qualification. Both his older

:25:14. > :25:19.sisters are also international hammer throwers. It would be a

:25:20. > :25:28.lovely family story if they were not serving two yurt drug bans! -- two

:25:29. > :25:38.year. He looks like he has achieved the automatic qualification. The

:25:39. > :25:46.longest throw, Fages, so far. Lomnicka as well, it looks as though

:25:47. > :25:55.Pars may have made it. It looks as though he has joined them.

:25:56. > :26:01.There is confirmation of the 12 athletes who will proceed to the

:26:02. > :26:08.hammer final on Saturday. Fajdek, the most impressive. Nick Miller

:26:09. > :26:12.Britain was not there. Many thought he should be here. He is certainly

:26:13. > :26:13.capable of those distances that would make the final. He will be

:26:14. > :26:26.frustrated watching at home. A very focused Danny Talbot, aiming

:26:27. > :26:32.to win every race, there is a steeliness about him. I like this

:26:33. > :26:37.Danny Talbot. At the start of every race, he is firing himself up. He

:26:38. > :26:42.knows he has a quick one in him and he is able to demonstrate that. He

:26:43. > :26:47.has come here with an intention and it is clear, he knows what he wants

:26:48. > :26:53.and he is a man on a mission. He talked about his drive, just explain

:26:54. > :27:00.some of the technicalities of the 200 metres and how you approach the

:27:01. > :27:04.race. Let me get this right! I think for the 200 metres, what I would do

:27:05. > :27:10.is, you have to come out hard and work the first 30 metres, that is

:27:11. > :27:14.the drive phase, when you get halfway round the bend, maybe

:27:15. > :27:20.decelerate a little bit, not decelerate, but keep the momentum

:27:21. > :27:25.moving and then work as you come to around 120, worked into the bend,

:27:26. > :27:30.because it works as a slingshot. Everything you put into the bend

:27:31. > :27:36.goes out the other side. And then give it everything. Michael Johnston

:27:37. > :27:41.always talks about the transition, the slingshot coming in. How do you

:27:42. > :27:46.think Adam will run this heat? With a smile on his face. I am not sure

:27:47. > :27:51.if Michael would agree if that is the right thing to do! Adam is a

:27:52. > :27:59.great character and he always smiles. He always comes out and

:28:00. > :28:04.wants to do the best. He needs to get through this round steadily and

:28:05. > :28:08.get back to the hotel, rest up and come back to the semifinal. Steve

:28:09. > :28:19.Cram, it is all yours. I hope Ashleigh Nelson has enjoyed

:28:20. > :28:26.being in the studio this morning, we have certainly enjoyed having her.

:28:27. > :28:33.There is the smile and why not? What a year he is having so far. He has

:28:34. > :28:36.two very experienced athletes outside him. Martina, the defending

:28:37. > :28:55.champion. That is Saidy NDure. This was the man who won in

:28:56. > :29:01.Helsinki, Churandy Martina. He did not make the final of the 100

:29:02. > :29:06.metres. Neither did Saidy NDure. But they are pretty good 200-metre

:29:07. > :29:15.runners. So I would suspect. If something were to go wrong, the

:29:16. > :29:19.three men should be OK. Menga of Germany inside them. Burgunder of

:29:20. > :29:29.Switzerland and the Sarr of Germany inside them. Burgunder of

:29:30. > :29:43.Mikel De Sa. Away safely, Gemili gets away pretty

:29:44. > :29:50.well and the two men outside him, likewise. Martina has not run a

:29:51. > :29:58.particularly good bend but Adam Gemili doing very well. Look at

:29:59. > :30:03.this, Adam Gemili running very well and Martina will just make it

:30:04. > :30:19.through. A very good run from death loop of Italy. -- Desalu. That could

:30:20. > :30:27.be a personal best for the Italian. loop of Italy. -- Desalu. That could

:30:28. > :30:41.be a personal Now running for Italy. Thankfully, not enough to surprise.

:30:42. > :30:46.A good performance. He realised he stepped on the other athletes very

:30:47. > :30:51.quickly. Memories of that very confident season last year when he

:30:52. > :31:02.went under the 22nd mark. For me, this was a good bit of qualification

:31:03. > :31:06.for him. You have got to be able to relax. He has a little look to his

:31:07. > :31:12.left, look to his right, just at the right time, and he is doing what I

:31:13. > :31:23.would ride as a strides. Does not need to pick up his knees, just does

:31:24. > :31:27.exactly what it takes. We have criticised other athletes were doing

:31:28. > :31:35.a head turn. We will see it in the home straight. Look that way, look

:31:36. > :31:37.that way, does he have to do that? He is far more relaxed and he is not

:31:38. > :31:39.pushing himself, so I He is far more relaxed and he is not

:31:40. > :31:44.pushing himself, so like the fact that it was a controlled look, not

:31:45. > :31:50.out of desperation, and I think he will be very pleased with that. We

:31:51. > :31:55.will see just how pleased she is about time and performance. What

:31:56. > :32:01.about it? It was OK. It is early in the morning and I wanted to get my

:32:02. > :32:04.body moving. Championships are different to running an individual

:32:05. > :32:16.race, you have got to concern -- conserve energy. I and fit enough to

:32:17. > :32:23.do it. -- I am. The track is pretty fast. One of the 200 metre women

:32:24. > :32:28.said that. It is a very hard track. You seem to put your foot down and

:32:29. > :32:34.go. It is a nice track. We will see what the rest of the body is saying

:32:35. > :32:39.and ringing to this evening. I am really excited. Your body is feeling

:32:40. > :32:46.good after your success at the Commonwealth Games? Yes. I do not

:32:47. > :32:50.think I was pushing that hard there. All of the bricks made it through so

:32:51. > :32:58.I am really happy. We will see you later. Thank you. No problems at

:32:59. > :33:03.all. Some pretty impressive, EE zero running, if you like. Having a

:33:04. > :33:07.little bit to spare in the tank, not flat out, and they all have to come

:33:08. > :33:12.back this evening and do it again in the semifinals. Iran the B-2

:33:13. > :33:24.semifinals. There'll be two Britons and one of them -- there will be two

:33:25. > :33:38.Britons in the final. A big shock. Lemaitre really

:33:39. > :33:52.struggling to see anyone else contending for medals. A British

:33:53. > :33:57.perspective. The fastest loser through. What is really interesting

:33:58. > :34:03.is to watch those interviews after the race, and you listen to what

:34:04. > :34:06.they say, but I think it is more the body language. Because he has come

:34:07. > :34:10.to these championships, and you are not sure how you are going to run

:34:11. > :34:17.and you get an indication of the shape that you are in. You keep it

:34:18. > :34:22.to yourself. You are standing there but you don't want to show all your

:34:23. > :34:29.emotions or sometimes it is taken the wrong way. Reading into the body

:34:30. > :34:33.language is sometimes all you can do as a spectator. I think all of the

:34:34. > :34:38.guys have done really well and it will be exciting to see how they

:34:39. > :34:44.rest up and come back and like I have mentioned, the first time you

:34:45. > :34:48.step on the track, it is a different experience, and the second time, you

:34:49. > :34:54.are aware of what to expect. The challenge is heightened again

:34:55. > :34:59.because there is another round. There will only be two semifinals so

:35:00. > :35:06.it will be a tough one. The white language of Denise, very comfortable

:35:07. > :35:16.shock of the body language, Denise, very comfortable, very relaxed the

:35:17. > :35:20.body language -- the body language, very relaxed, very comfortable. He

:35:21. > :35:25.said he did not think he was going to be able to run that fast that

:35:26. > :35:29.early in the morning. He is clearly in shape. He just needed to make

:35:30. > :35:34.sure he did what he needed to do this morning. So important to come

:35:35. > :35:39.through these rounds. Running a little bit wide in that turn, but

:35:40. > :35:43.there was no danger or pressure coming from anywhere, so he could

:35:44. > :35:48.just relax and switch off and enjoy, as much as you can enjoy 200

:35:49. > :35:54.metres at this time, but a great piece of running from Adam and I am

:35:55. > :35:56.keen to see how he gets on. Speaking of body language, a bit of time

:35:57. > :36:03.action there. He was very expressive. Perhaps shaping up for

:36:04. > :36:08.him as opposed to Lemaitre. You never know what to expect,

:36:09. > :36:12.especially coming into the Championships. Lemaitre might be

:36:13. > :36:18.feeling it a little bit. I know the girls said they were feeling it a

:36:19. > :36:23.little bit. What ever happens, it is going to be extremely exciting. I M

:36:24. > :36:30.obviously rooting for the Ritz. I am going to say GB on this -- I am

:36:31. > :36:37.obviously rooting for the bricks. I am going to say GB on this one.

:36:38. > :36:39.Really exciting. Last night, Lemaitre was in the men's 100

:36:40. > :37:02.metres, but he did not win, did he? A pretty good start. Dwayne

:37:03. > :37:08.Chambers. It is Dasalou he gets the gold -- who gets the gold medal. A

:37:09. > :37:20.European champion. Great Britain has a new Sprint star. Could he

:37:21. > :37:23.convert? Yes! He takes the win, let me silver, maybe Dwayne Chambers for

:37:24. > :37:30.the bronze, we will wait and see about that. Gold medallist, how does

:37:31. > :37:36.that sound? It is a lovely feeling to be a European champion. I am

:37:37. > :37:40.still trying to take it all in. I did not think I got a good start. I

:37:41. > :37:46.did not know what I was going to do. I had to battle through. I am

:37:47. > :37:51.happy just to win. In the semifinals you looked like the men to beat, and

:37:52. > :38:00.you came through with the goods. You have had the best of times -- you

:38:01. > :38:07.have not had the best of times. I had a hamstring injury after

:38:08. > :38:10.starting in the indoors. Fast-forward to the European

:38:11. > :38:15.Championships in Birmingham, and now European Championships here, and is

:38:16. > :38:21.a lovely feeling, it is my first senior medal outdoors, so onwards

:38:22. > :38:27.and upwards. European champion. It is an amazing feeling and I am still

:38:28. > :38:31.trying to take it in. I am just trying to enjoy it. Congratulations

:38:32. > :38:37.again, tremendous performance. Thank you. A slightly does believing James

:38:38. > :38:48.does aloof. He has been through the trauma of it missing out on the

:38:49. > :38:55.world indoors. -- disbelieving James Dasalou. I think sometimes when you

:38:56. > :38:59.are quite injury prone, when you actually compete and you do well and

:39:00. > :39:05.you do something that, deep down, you know you are capable wall of, it

:39:06. > :39:09.is almost like, oh, nothing happens, you are almost checking her body to

:39:10. > :39:16.make sure you are in one piece, and when it actually happens, you are

:39:17. > :39:28.like, wow, you have just done it and there is nothing else. You almost

:39:29. > :39:33.don't believe it is going to happen because it has gone wrong so many

:39:34. > :39:36.times. You have to deal with each competition and not think about the

:39:37. > :39:41.outcome. It is the process you have to go through. You have to execute

:39:42. > :39:46.your transition, and if you can repeat that enough times and really

:39:47. > :39:52.believe it, believe that it is within you, anything is for me,

:39:53. > :39:56.relief was the first thing I noticed about James, and then the gravity

:39:57. > :40:02.dawned on him. Putting it into context, he has been injured and out

:40:03. > :40:06.February, which is quite a critical time of the year, and he obviously

:40:07. > :40:11.had that build up, things did not go particularly well, and he had to

:40:12. > :40:15.miss the trials, so there was uncertainty about whether he would

:40:16. > :40:18.even have a season at all, so to come away with such a great result,

:40:19. > :40:26.and the conditions were awful, I believe he has got another one in

:40:27. > :40:30.him this season. And Aikines-Aryeetey was over, with the

:40:31. > :40:34.bronze medal as well. I think it is really good for him. I know he gets

:40:35. > :40:43.a bit of stick sometimes for being quite vague. It helps him there! I

:40:44. > :40:46.am sticking up for Harry. He is a great guy but a little bit

:40:47. > :40:54.misunderstood at times. He has been through injuries himself. You have

:40:55. > :40:59.to overcome these things to achieve greatness, and I think a lot of the

:41:00. > :41:02.team have all experienced these things, and as you get older, you do

:41:03. > :41:06.overcome challenges that you might not have necessarily thought you

:41:07. > :41:14.would have as a junior, and it shows great determination. You are talking

:41:15. > :41:20.about the sticker that Harry gets. Ice it appear, we want athletes to

:41:21. > :41:24.be better, and I we look at him sometimes, Harry, and if he were a

:41:25. > :41:30.little bit smaller, it would enhance his performance, but I'm no that he

:41:31. > :41:34.does not lift weights, he is just naturally... I have seen pictures of

:41:35. > :41:40.him when he was a baby and I think he was born with those sorts of

:41:41. > :41:48.muscles. That is a baby I am not sure I want to see! He has got that

:41:49. > :41:51.physique. It is genetic. And his appointment for Dwayne Chambers,

:41:52. > :42:03.just missing out. It would have been great for him and to win after all

:42:04. > :42:07.he has been through. Obviously, CJ missing out on getting a place, but

:42:08. > :42:10.it is all experienced, and we all learned in every championships that

:42:11. > :42:15.you come through, you learn a lot more, and unfortunately for Dwayne

:42:16. > :42:18.Chambers him of this year, he was unable to switch it on when it

:42:19. > :42:27.mattered. That is quite upsetting for Dwayne because he always wants

:42:28. > :42:33.to do well. There is a lot to look forward to. The women's javelin and

:42:34. > :42:38.the Captain Goldie Sayers. Exactly. I am excited. She gave an amazing

:42:39. > :42:43.speech to the others, telling them to compete as if it was the last

:42:44. > :42:48.petition. She has told us about some of the injuries that she has been

:42:49. > :42:52.going through, so I just wish her all the best coming out tonight, and

:42:53. > :42:59.I hope she absolutely smashes it, which I am sure she will. And that

:43:00. > :43:03.is 5:00pm this evening. The last time we are going to see Andy Turner

:43:04. > :43:09.in a major championships. That is sad, but I am glad that he can think

:43:10. > :43:14.about ending his career on his terms will stop it will be lovely for him

:43:15. > :43:22.to just make it through to that final. He has been through so much,

:43:23. > :43:26.it has been catalogued, but I think if he can just put the demons to the

:43:27. > :43:31.back of his mind, and he is in reasonable shape, he can get through

:43:32. > :43:34.to those finals. Thank you, Ashley, you have been a star on and off the

:43:35. > :43:39.track and we will have you back again this evening. 5:00pm.

:43:40. > :43:47.Goodbye!
