:00:16. > :00:20.Championships from Gothenburg. 15 gold medals on offer today
:00:20. > :00:23.including seven this morning. British athletes are looking to add
:00:23. > :00:33.their name to a prestigious roll- call.
:00:33. > :00:42.
:00:42. > :00:52., taker macro Chryste takes the gold -- and COMMENTATOR: It is in a
:00:52. > :00:56.
:00:56. > :01:01.new wild indoor record! Good morning, the final day, and
:01:01. > :01:06.pretty much finals all the weight in the Scandinavium Arena. Holly
:01:06. > :01:10.Bleasdale already has a gold medal around her neck. Huge inspiration
:01:10. > :01:14.for all of her team-mates in action today.
:01:14. > :01:19.Perri Shakes-Drayton has been looking in brilliant form, she is
:01:19. > :01:24.the favourite for the gold medal over 400m.
:01:24. > :01:34.Don't this gate her team-mate, chart macro, she should be in the
:01:34. > :01:38.
:01:38. > :01:41.next. And -- Eilidh Child. Then Jenny Meadows captain the team
:01:41. > :01:50.here in Gothenburg and his rallying in form.
:01:50. > :02:00.Nigel Levine, Richard Strachan are very much in the mix.
:02:00. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:40.And this is the timetable for this Good morning to Denise Lewis, Paula
:02:41. > :02:48.Radcliffe and Colin Jackson, a busy morning, what is your highlight?
:02:48. > :02:57.It has got to be the women's 400m, we have a great trio, but favourite
:02:57. > :03:04.is Perri in fantastic form. She is in ideal shape. Colin Jackson?
:03:04. > :03:12.looking at the men's 400m. I am looking forward to that. One of our
:03:12. > :03:17.boys can run wisely to get a bronze medal. Paula Radcliffe?
:03:17. > :03:26.Jenny Meadows, to get that medal, she has come in, short of training,
:03:26. > :03:32.but she is very strong and getting better with every round.
:03:33. > :03:36.Yesterday, we saw Britain's first gold medal, Holly Bleasdale in the
:03:36. > :03:40.pole vault. It was a gutsy performance. She struggled in
:03:40. > :03:47.qualification the day before, she ended up in the jump off and
:03:47. > :03:55.banished to get the gold medal. had to keep her nerves, she had to
:03:55. > :04:01.face a jump-off. She was jumping second, she was lucky, she had to
:04:01. > :04:09.nail that 4.67 metres and that smile said it all. She was nervous
:04:09. > :04:14.getting into the competition, there she is, getting her gold medal.
:04:14. > :04:20.There are no medal presentations in this small arena, this Scandinavium
:04:20. > :04:26.Arena it is part of a small -- be a complex, and those ceremonies take
:04:26. > :04:32.place in the Market Square. The jump-off was an interesting
:04:32. > :04:37.situation. The same number of failures. They have the option to
:04:37. > :04:47.take the gold medal shared, and Holly Bleasdale said, no. A I love
:04:47. > :04:51.that, that shows fire in her belly. Why should she is Cecil -- and
:04:51. > :04:55.settle for a shared gold medal? She has gone through many expenses at
:04:55. > :05:03.these major championships and she has come out, on top, a good way
:05:03. > :05:09.forward. A good day for Holly Bleasdale. Overnight, in the
:05:09. > :05:16.American championships, we sought a new indoor world record. Double
:05:16. > :05:20.inspiration for Holly Bleasdale. Hearing that news, her target, go
:05:21. > :05:27.for the outdoors. Double inspiration. She will have come
:05:27. > :05:34.here, achieving what she wanted to do. She came here to win. She did
:05:34. > :05:39.that. She will know she has a lot to do. She is well capable of it
:05:39. > :05:47.but she has a lot of training. Very often, you achieve your target and
:05:47. > :05:52.you set a new one. This was set overnight. Silver for James Dasaolu
:05:52. > :05:56.in the men's 60m. A bit of a surprise. He ran brilliantly but it
:05:56. > :06:01.was a surprise. Yes, his performance in the semi-final was
:06:01. > :06:06.outstanding, we were hoping he could maintain that focus and not
:06:06. > :06:13.get distracted by that success. He came into this competition, he said
:06:13. > :06:19.he looked very good in the heats. He and his coach decided they have
:06:19. > :06:25.arrived in great shape, healthy, run the best he could possibly do.
:06:25. > :06:35.Jimmy Vicaut from France, France hols the strength of men's
:06:35. > :06:37.
:06:37. > :06:47.sprinting at this moment in time -- holds. They him to run for -- that
:06:47. > :06:47.
:06:47. > :06:51.time and not when is excellent. 60m is four indoors, outdoors is
:06:51. > :06:56.where it counts, where they translate that performance in what
:06:56. > :07:01.could be a really, really good performance over the 100 metres. It
:07:01. > :07:10.is a mouth-watering prospect. were having a chat before with
:07:10. > :07:17.Colin Jackson and Denise Lewis, not so much Paula Radcliffe. With the
:07:17. > :07:22.start, you have a high back foot on the blocks. A decent start?
:07:22. > :07:27.Everything you do has to be done naturally. In the blocks, you have
:07:27. > :07:33.to become done well. That was very high, he almost starters. If when
:07:33. > :07:38.you push out... It is not a new thing, he trains like that. He will
:07:38. > :07:43.know how he hits the floor. Don't worry about him, let him do what
:07:43. > :07:49.comes naturally. I know you two don't particularly like that, but
:07:49. > :07:55.carry on. I just think there is room for improvement. Leg length,
:07:55. > :08:01.position, comfort. Maybe it looks unorthodox to me, but that is how
:08:01. > :08:05.he trains. That left arm, for me, it is a little bit tucked. In the
:08:05. > :08:15.semi-finals, he was drifting to the left. I don't know whether there is
:08:15. > :08:24.
:08:24. > :08:31.a weakness. But, he is quick! It is worth noting that Germany, so
:08:31. > :08:39.far, haven't got any medals. Let us show you another medal table,
:08:39. > :08:49.of sorts. Our experts's predictions, I used that term loosely! Paula
:08:49. > :08:49.
:08:49. > :08:53.Radcliffe is the new dog, she got carried away. Colin and Denise...
:08:53. > :08:57.What do you reckon? How are you feeling about these predictions
:08:57. > :09:03.now? If I am right, I will be slightly
:09:03. > :09:08.disappointed. I wanted to be safe. I was hoping for more, nine or 10
:09:08. > :09:16.medals would have been fantastic. I could be right with seven.
:09:16. > :09:21.We have the possibility of Perri. Potentially, the two relays. Can I
:09:21. > :09:27.reassess? He in the middle distances, Jimmy
:09:27. > :09:34.Meadows is a good prospect. Four gold medals, a couple of
:09:34. > :09:38.relays, Perri, we already have Holly Bleasdale. You could be close.
:09:38. > :09:45.The wind is impossible, we haven't got enough up there. Perri is
:09:45. > :09:51.coming out. There she is, on the track. A big opportunity.
:09:51. > :09:57.It is a big opportunity. She is in lane five. Eilidh Child it is
:09:57. > :10:02.outside her, in lane six. I expect her to take the race out, she won't
:10:02. > :10:07.change much, why should she? She has been holding her form in the
:10:07. > :10:14.100 metres. It is a really short space of time between the semi-
:10:14. > :10:18.finals and finals, less than 24 hours. I was thinking about that.
:10:18. > :10:24.When you do the London Marathon, early in the morning, no messing
:10:24. > :10:27.about. What is it like to be up early, prepared? The key thing is
:10:27. > :10:32.what you changed your body to do. Add do a lot of my hard sessions in
:10:32. > :10:38.the morning. Perri says she does that, that will stand her in good
:10:38. > :10:48.stead. The key thing is how she has recovered from yesterday, a good
:10:48. > :10:54.
:10:54. > :10:58.night's rest, did she take a bath, and ice -- an ice bath. It will be
:10:58. > :11:05.a test of training, Eilidh Child it is in the same position, she has
:11:05. > :11:13.been training hard, she is fit. It is all in the mind at this stage.
:11:13. > :11:19.Herders have great strength and endurance, 400m flat is perhaps...
:11:19. > :11:28.A walk in the park? With her stamina, she should be
:11:28. > :11:33.able to bounce back very well. men's triple jump competition was
:11:33. > :11:43.won by Daniele Greco, the 10th furthest all time. And I had said
:11:43. > :11:44.
:11:44. > :11:50.that competition could be a poor one! Perhaps not too great
:11:50. > :11:56.expectations on her? She has missed some training, coming back from
:11:56. > :12:01.injury. She has to hold her form. A little inconsistent yesterday.
:12:01. > :12:07.Hopefully she has recovered. Let us keep our fingers crossed for Yamile
:12:08. > :12:17.Aldama. And Good morning to Paul Dickenson, Andrew Carter. And Steve
:12:18. > :12:27.
:12:27. > :12:32.Cram. How are you feeling about honest. I think, yes, around nine
:12:32. > :12:36.medals. One thing we can say is there will be more drama, we had
:12:36. > :12:41.lots of it yesterday. We have the relays and we are banking on medals
:12:41. > :12:47.there. The men had a really good chance of a gold medal, the women
:12:47. > :12:54.definitely. Let us not forget the Russians, Kseniya Ustalova, is not
:12:54. > :12:59.here. These three women will run in the relay barring any assistance,
:12:59. > :13:09.and our three men. So we will have slightly tired athletes going into
:13:09. > :13:09.
:13:09. > :13:14.the relay, that is my concern. More important, individually, for
:13:14. > :13:18.Perri Shakes-Drayton, Eilidh Child, they will not be thinking about the
:13:18. > :13:22.relay at the moment. One of the reasons we are here in
:13:22. > :13:29.the morning is to accommodate the individual 400m into the programme,
:13:29. > :13:35.so the athletes can run the relay. If the so, there is a bit of a gap,
:13:35. > :13:41.it isn't one long session today. Lots of drama in the semi-finals
:13:41. > :13:51.yesterday, it means Britain has three women in the final. There was
:13:51. > :13:57.
:13:57. > :14:07.a late disqualification to this line-up, with Shana Cox coming in.
:14:07. > :14:15.
:14:15. > :14:21.two British athletes. Sweden have had a very good championships, lots
:14:21. > :14:25.of new talent coming in. Hjelmer could figure, she likes to get out
:14:25. > :14:31.hard and she may try to get to the front on the first lap, which might
:14:31. > :14:36.mix it up for the British athletes. European outdoors a champion.
:14:36. > :14:46.Yesterday -- in Helsinki, she got better and better with each round,
:14:46. > :14:58.
:14:58. > :15:03.the same here indoors. She managed triple jump. Yamile Aldama is in
:15:03. > :15:08.good form. Still suffering from bad shoulder injury she had earlier on
:15:08. > :15:18.this year, but 13.92 to qualify for the final. That was her season's
:15:18. > :15:21.
:15:21. > :15:28.wanted. We are about halfway through the first round. The big
:15:28. > :15:37.news is that Saladukha, of the Ukraine, has gone out to a world
:15:37. > :15:47.leading 14.88. Unfortunately, a foul there for the Britain. Second
:15:47. > :16:12.
:16:12. > :16:18.runway. I think she's got a bit more to come if she can get the
:16:18. > :16:26.technique together in subsequent rounds. That is a massive jump to
:16:26. > :16:36.start the competition. The longest jump in 2013, one of the longest in
:16:36. > :16:38.
:16:38. > :16:43.performance here in the 400m. Shana Cox goes on the inside for Great
:16:43. > :16:48.Britain. Advanced to the final after the disqualification of
:16:48. > :16:53.Morosanu, who tripped the athlete who was top of the rankings coming
:16:53. > :17:03.into here, Ustalova. She's not in this, so the two track athletes
:17:03. > :17:09.
:17:09. > :17:13.will need watching. Hejnova in behind Perri, 51.27. A big
:17:13. > :17:18.improvement for her to make it into this final. This athlete here, I
:17:18. > :17:25.think she will try and get to the front. She will try and run a fast
:17:25. > :17:35.200m and hope it is going to carry her to wear medal. Strong athlete.
:17:35. > :17:37.
:17:37. > :17:45.There was Carolina Kluft right in Perri Shakes-Drayton, in the form
:17:45. > :17:50.of her life. And you could say exactly the same for a Eilidh Child.
:17:50. > :17:55.Scottish indoor record this year over the flat distance. The two of
:17:55. > :18:05.them renowned for hundred metres herbalists. But going for glory
:18:05. > :18:31.
:18:31. > :18:41.Eilidh Child joined the great gets out really quick in this first
:18:41. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :18:58.certainly has started quicker than gel inside, and has taken a yard or
:18:58. > :19:02.so out of Eilidh Child. Shana Cox has started quickly in lane one as
:19:02. > :19:06.well. She wants to get involved in this. Perri Shakes-Drayton is in
:19:06. > :19:13.the perfect position to come across and take the lead. This is perfect
:19:13. > :19:15.for Great Britain. Shana Cox moves into third. Gilles Muller trying to
:19:15. > :19:19.come on the outside but Perri Shakes-Drayton controlling this
:19:19. > :19:25.from the front. Eilidh Child is right when she wants to be. Shakes-
:19:25. > :19:29.Drayton looks in superb form and the others are trailing behind. The
:19:29. > :19:31.others are a long way distant. Perri Shakes-Drayton gobbing a gold
:19:31. > :19:39.for Great Britain, pulling away from her team-mate. It's going to
:19:39. > :19:43.be a British one, two. Perri Shakes-Drayton wins in superb time.
:19:43. > :19:49.Brilliant running. It just got better and better through these
:19:49. > :19:53.championships. The talent that we've always known was there, that
:19:53. > :19:57.she's always know was there has finally come to the fourth. Eilidh
:19:57. > :20:02.Child should be delighted with her performance to take the silver
:20:02. > :20:06.medal. Couldn't catch a team made, but what a brilliant performance
:20:06. > :20:11.from the British athletes. There's her coach, the two of them have
:20:11. > :20:16.worked really hard to get Perri into this sort of shape. She was
:20:16. > :20:19.criticised a little bit about her performance in London last year.
:20:19. > :20:25.But if she can carry this sort of form into the summer, who knows
:20:25. > :20:28.what she's going to be capable of? It was tied for bronze, Gill me did
:20:28. > :20:38.get the third spot, but there was no doubt about the winner. Eilidh
:20:38. > :20:44.
:20:44. > :20:50.British athlete ever indoors after her performance yesterday. That's a
:20:50. > :20:55.natty little waist coat. What a good start to this final day of the
:20:55. > :20:58.European Indoor Championships for Great Britain. I'm sure Malcolm
:20:59. > :21:04.Arnold, Eilidh Child's coach, will be delighted with her progress as
:21:04. > :21:07.well. That flat speed will stand her in really good stead. She was
:21:07. > :21:17.really aggressive as well. Knew what Perri was going to do, went
:21:17. > :21:19.
:21:19. > :21:23.with her. John Cox did her best. -- Shana Cox. It was a really fast
:21:23. > :21:27.first 200. There was no question they were going to allow the Swede
:21:27. > :21:31.to get involved. They've probably been warned about what she did in
:21:31. > :21:36.the semi yesterday. Denise, it was important that in this first lap
:21:36. > :21:40.that Perri Shakes-Drayton got out in front. It was some important
:21:40. > :21:45.that she set out Qatar good. knew the dominance to hold and
:21:45. > :21:50.control this race was critical. It was absolutely critical. Eilidh
:21:50. > :21:57.Child did a fantastic job. Having Perri in her sights was about to
:21:57. > :22:01.control this race. Smooth, aggressive running. Eilidh Child
:22:01. > :22:11.had to hang on there, hang on to Perri and know that her job was
:22:11. > :22:14.almost dumb. -- almost done. Great for the girls. I'm delighted,
:22:14. > :22:24.particularly for Eilidh Child as well. She's worked hard, she's made
:22:24. > :22:25.
:22:25. > :22:31.the transition. 51.45, a new personal best. That was a really
:22:31. > :22:35.dominant performance. She was slowing at the end but the others
:22:35. > :22:45.were so far behind. Everybody trailing in her wake. A world-
:22:45. > :23:21.
:23:21. > :23:24.because I was in lane six. They must be a great sense of
:23:24. > :23:30.satisfaction when you come here as a medal contender and you've
:23:30. > :23:34.delivered one. That's it. When you come here you want to get a medal.
:23:34. > :23:38.To come away with the silver, I've had many silvers during my career
:23:38. > :23:44.but I'm so happy with this one. you've done it with a personal best.
:23:44. > :23:48.I can't ask any more than that. and Perri do the hurdles of a one
:23:48. > :23:52.lap outdoors. This must bode fantastically well for that.
:23:52. > :23:55.shows we both got good Flat speed now. It's just about getting the
:23:55. > :24:05.hurtling rate. We both had some really good times this season.
:24:05. > :24:08.
:24:08. > :24:14.You've got the relate to come, so be speaking to fill very shortly.
:24:14. > :24:20.She will be extremely happy. It was a textbook race from both of them.
:24:20. > :24:23.It was. They both knew they had to run hard. Tired legs, but it's all
:24:23. > :24:28.in the mind at this stage and they had to attack that. They knew that
:24:28. > :24:32.Joe Marler was going to be on their tails. She's improved so much
:24:32. > :24:39.during these championships. That in a confidence that Perri has
:24:39. > :24:45.displayed in Gothenburg just loses in her running. She's clearly come
:24:45. > :24:50.off last year knowing that she wasn't in shape, she got injured,
:24:50. > :24:54.she's hit back working really hard. It is showing for Scott Hughes got
:24:54. > :24:57.speed and endurance and looks majestic out there. I'm hoping that
:24:57. > :25:02.when she reflects on her performance here, both are women
:25:02. > :25:06.really, that they can really think themselves as true world class 400m
:25:07. > :25:11.hurdlers. They just need not to work on the technicalities of their
:25:11. > :25:15.major event, the 400m hurdles. I can see them in the final in Moscow
:25:15. > :25:19.in the summer. They have certainly demonstrated their potential of
:25:19. > :25:24.being finalists. Of course, with this kind of performance, they've
:25:24. > :25:27.got medal hopes in the individual event. Hejnova, who was bronze in
:25:27. > :25:33.London, is trailing a fair way behind. It really bodes well for
:25:33. > :25:37.them. They should be very excited with what they've achieved to date.
:25:37. > :25:45.I wonder if she was expecting to win? She had that tailor-made, I
:25:45. > :25:49.What a performance. We can see you celebrating with the ways coat on.
:25:49. > :25:54.A world-leading time, gold medal, give me your reaction. A I'm over
:25:54. > :25:59.the moon. A lot of people were already putting gold on me. In my
:25:59. > :26:02.heart, I wanted a medal, but you want to come out and win. I'm
:26:02. > :26:06.pleased now and I hope this will benefit me when it comes to the
:26:06. > :26:10.outdoors. Eilidh Child was saying it will probably for the pair of
:26:10. > :26:17.you. It's the way you dominated throughout each round. You were in
:26:17. > :26:21.complete control again there. I said I can't be too complacent. I
:26:21. > :26:25.just want to stay out of trouble. I just wanted to stay at the front
:26:25. > :26:29.and maintain this. I did it every round. Now won the European
:26:29. > :26:33.champion. How was it from the adjustment of running a semi-final
:26:33. > :26:37.yesterday to coming out here in the morning to run a final today?
:26:37. > :26:44.I said yesterday, I trained in the morning so I'm used to the early
:26:44. > :26:50.starts. My body is awake and Alerte. I'm glad that's out of the weight.
:26:50. > :26:55.Hopefully I will be all right for the relay. I've got one point here.
:26:55. > :27:00.The start list when you came in, I don't know if you can see it. It
:27:00. > :27:04.says Perri Shakes-Drayton, you are apparently 59. One old woman you've
:27:05. > :27:14.done pretty well! Making the old before my time - and just getting
:27:15. > :27:16.
:27:16. > :27:21.She didn't make any mistakes. Next up, Mukhtar Mohamed. He will be
:27:21. > :27:31.hoping for similar. He's got a very tough at final. Before that, let's
:27:31. > :27:38.
:27:38. > :27:48.catch up with the women's triple out very good horizontal and
:27:48. > :28:03.
:28:03. > :28:12.vertical jumpers. Russian indoor first round. Strong athlete, well
:28:13. > :28:22.conditioned as well. Straight down the runway. The balance. 14.88 is
:28:23. > :28:28.
:28:28. > :28:33.the lead by Saladukha, but that's has found success in the past, but
:28:33. > :28:39.these are the competitors in the 800m. Mukhtar Mohamed out in lane
:28:39. > :28:47.six for this one. Kszczot is the defending champion. Bybyk from the
:28:47. > :28:53.Ukraine, he's the youngster. Ananenka or. They were the two men
:28:53. > :28:57.who saw off the challenge of Michael Winner in the heats. Marco
:28:57. > :29:01.was clipped in the final two years ago and fell when he was leading
:29:01. > :29:06.from Kszczot. Perhaps the biggest Spanish threat comes from this
:29:06. > :29:12.month, Kevin Lopez, the bronze medallist two years ago and the
:29:12. > :29:22.Spanish record holder. He's the indoor champion as well. The
:29:22. > :29:44.
:29:44. > :29:48.favourite is the defending champion, but we heard Seb Coe say he
:29:48. > :29:58.believes he will win a medal. He certainly has the talent, does he
:29:58. > :30:04.
:30:04. > :30:11.have the tactical nous to get it it. The Spaniard is taking it out
:30:11. > :30:16.quickly. Ananenka, a searing pace to take him away. Lopez wanted to
:30:16. > :30:20.get out in front with Marco, his compatriot. The Belarus and is
:30:20. > :30:30.behind. Mukhtar Mohamed is settling down in fourth place. A furious
:30:30. > :30:32.
:30:32. > :30:42.battle to get to the break and get to 1971 for someone to successfully
:30:42. > :30:49.
:30:49. > :30:55.defend, but Kszczot probably has outside. Mukhtar Mohamed decides to
:30:55. > :31:00.do likewise. Ananenka response. Kszczot just beginning to get top
:31:00. > :31:04.speed now. He makes his move. Dangerously through on the inside
:31:04. > :31:08.there, Mukhtar Mohamed, he nearly took a tumble. He needs to get
:31:08. > :31:12.himself free so he can follow Kszczot through. The key will be
:31:12. > :31:18.how much he has recovered from the previous two races. He looks a
:31:19. > :31:23.little bit unsettled. It takes energy out of you. Kszczot hits the
:31:23. > :31:29.front with the bell. The two Spaniards behind. Mohamed getting
:31:29. > :31:34.blocked by the giant frame of Ananenka. This may be a race beyond
:31:34. > :31:38.Mukhtar Mohamed. Kszczot is out in front, looking to defend his title.
:31:38. > :31:43.Mukhtar Mohamed making his move into fourth place, hunting down
:31:43. > :31:47.Ananenka for third. Ananenka is there. Mukhtar Mohamed coming
:31:47. > :31:52.through to take the bronze. He just about gets there. Ananenka tried to
:31:52. > :31:58.squeeze him out, tried to force him wide. I think that Mukhtar Mohamed
:31:58. > :32:08.might have got there. The winner is Kszczot. His beret bronze medal for
:32:08. > :32:19.
:32:19. > :32:29.proud of that. Adam Kszczot has become the first
:32:29. > :32:32.
:32:32. > :32:36.to defend a title since 1971. Adam Kszczot knows he is the champion.
:32:37. > :32:41.Lopez in second place. Muktar Mohammed has been given the
:32:41. > :32:47.bronze medal, despite the efforts of Anis Ananenka. A great effort
:32:48. > :32:56.from Muktar Mohammed. A really good effort. Anis Ananenka
:32:56. > :33:00.taking a tumble. Clearly, the best athlete in the field today.
:33:00. > :33:05.Muktar Mohammed held his home in the home straight, he should be
:33:05. > :33:10.very proud of the way he has run well.
:33:10. > :33:17.He knows that. He did get clipped a couple of times and jostled into
:33:17. > :33:22.the race but he came through to take a medal. A bronze-medallist is
:33:22. > :33:27.no mean feat indeed Indoor Championships. A bit of strapping,
:33:27. > :33:33.we are told that isn't the serious. This is how it unfolded.
:33:33. > :33:38.For he kept coming through, trying on the inside, then the outside
:33:38. > :33:44.where Anis Ananenka is blocking him. He is struggling for space, it
:33:44. > :33:54.looks as if his legs are getting heavier and tired. You can see the
:33:54. > :34:00.way he needs to go. He is trying to follow, coming into the last lap.
:34:00. > :34:04.Three, he has already taken. He now needs to follow up Anis Ananenka.
:34:04. > :34:07.He is hoping that banker macro has put too much in already and it will
:34:07. > :34:13.come back to him in the closing stages.
:34:13. > :34:17.Sweet revenge on Anis Ananenka in the closing stages. A Adam Kszczot,
:34:17. > :34:27.a true champion. Lopez, silver-medallist. Bronze-
:34:27. > :34:38.
:34:38. > :34:42.studio. Anis Ananenka, down of the final straight, he tried to stop
:34:42. > :34:47.Muktar Mohammed. Denise? The Definitely impeded him, you
:34:47. > :34:52.can't just put your arm across an athlete and obstruct him. This
:34:52. > :34:56.young man did a fantastic job. He didn't lose his composure. Not once
:34:56. > :35:02.again that race, and he took a few knocks which took him off stride.
:35:02. > :35:07.He deserved that bronze-medal. We can look at this again. Anis
:35:07. > :35:16.Ananenka had a look across, the sky it is catching me, I am going to
:35:16. > :35:23.try to stop him. He did it at 200 metres to go as
:35:23. > :35:26.well. As Denise said, a bit like a boxer, he was knocked down, kept on
:35:26. > :35:29.getting up, in the end, got the reward.
:35:29. > :35:36.It was a just reward, we have been watching his progress through
:35:36. > :35:41.winter. He came here with a real chance of gaining expense, and if
:35:41. > :35:46.he was in the right place at the right time, he has a kick finish
:35:46. > :35:52.and a real heart, a gutsy runner who never gives up. This is
:35:53. > :36:02.something we asked looking forward -- we are looking forward to seeing
:36:03. > :36:22.
:36:22. > :36:30.Lopez, took bronze in the last women's triple jump final. Yamile
:36:30. > :36:39.Aldama is up against it. Just one centimetre below her season's best.
:36:39. > :36:45.She gave it everything. But it looks to be well short. Silver and
:36:45. > :36:55.bronze are still up for grabs. She will have to go out, to a big
:36:55. > :36:58.
:36:58. > :37:06.season's best, to be among the position at the moment. Looks as if
:37:06. > :37:16.she has lost speed on the runway, deceleration on the run -- on the
:37:16. > :37:16.
:37:16. > :37:26.take-off is there for everyone to moment. A magnificent jump by Olha
:37:26. > :37:42.
:37:42. > :37:47.Here are too macro of the stars -- two. The first person to defend his
:37:47. > :37:53.title since 1971! That is great, I have done new
:37:53. > :38:03.preparation with a new coach. It is good for the open season. My third
:38:03. > :38:03.
:38:03. > :38:08.race. With a small break between the semi-final and final. Running
:38:08. > :38:13.really fast in the last 200 metres. It is really good for me. Muktar
:38:13. > :38:23.Mohammed, you are relatively new, to come away with a medal first
:38:23. > :38:31.
:38:31. > :38:35.time. Yes, yesterday, was difficult. Today, I wanted to trust in Allah,
:38:35. > :38:45.whatever plan he made for me. was a lot of bumping and barging to
:38:45. > :38:47.
:38:47. > :38:53.shove you out of the way. The man who was trying... The Belorussian.
:38:53. > :39:01.I had a tough time with him. That is putting it mildly! This morning,
:39:01. > :39:06.when I met him, I said he was the favoured. He said it would be a
:39:06. > :39:16.good race. One final word with the champion, the Polish flag around
:39:16. > :39:16.
:39:16. > :39:24.you, what is the reaction to back home? -- reaction to your success,
:39:24. > :39:30.back home? I will go home, try to get some
:39:30. > :39:34.sleep. I have to rest after this really tiring day. Congratulations
:39:34. > :39:39.once again on your gold medal. Tremendous performance, Muktar
:39:39. > :39:44.Mohammad. Diplomatic relations between
:39:44. > :39:48.Belarus and Great Britain need some repairing after that race.
:39:48. > :39:54.Jenny Meadows is next, the defending champion, nervous moments
:39:54. > :40:01.for her. Perhaps more nervous for coaches and husbands, in her case,
:40:01. > :40:06.if they are 1 and the same. A big day for you, and your wife.
:40:06. > :40:10.You have taken some good lessons from the first round?
:40:10. > :40:16.It is fantastic to be in the final. 12 weeks ago, she wasn't even
:40:16. > :40:21.running. To be in the championships is a big bonus for us. We have not
:40:21. > :40:28.quite done the work you need to do, to have a kick finish, but she has
:40:28. > :40:33.done a lot of strength work which shows the way she round today come
:40:33. > :40:40.-- the way she ran yesterday. A lot of people have helped her
:40:40. > :40:48.along the way. All of the locals, Wigan Warriors, Manchester United
:40:48. > :40:54.let us use their facilities. The local gyms in Wigan were fantastic,
:40:54. > :40:57.we have a great team around us in Manchester. UK Athletics combined
:40:57. > :41:02.behind the scenes, it has been a big team effort to get her back to
:41:02. > :41:08.where she is today, we about four to everybody. What kind of talk to
:41:08. > :41:14.have with her before a race. Is there anything different? No, it is
:41:14. > :41:18.about keeping her calm, relaxed, focused on herself. You can only go
:41:18. > :41:23.up there and do the best you can do, you cannot control anybody else.
:41:23. > :41:28.Hopefully what you do on the day is good enough, we will take whatever
:41:28. > :41:31.we can today. It will be a remarkable achievement. We are just
:41:32. > :41:37.thrilled to beat in the final. To make this championships is a bonus,
:41:37. > :41:47.to be in the final is a terrific. If there is a medal, then, happy
:41:47. > :41:51.
:41:51. > :41:55.very focused, she is the defending champion, she won that title in
:41:55. > :42:01.controversial circumstances two years ago in Paris. She finished in
:42:01. > :42:04.second place, subsequently the Russian who beat her was
:42:04. > :42:12.disqualified for drugs abuse, as was the Russian who finished in
:42:12. > :42:20.third. Sad to see that. Jenny Meadows deprived of a moment
:42:20. > :42:24.standing on the podium. Denise? is that moment when she can take in
:42:24. > :42:28.the applause, that the British crowd for their support and get her
:42:28. > :42:32.just rewards for what was a great race for her. Here she is today, am
:42:32. > :42:37.delighted to see her back. Come what may, whether she gets a medal
:42:37. > :42:43.or not here, as long as she can walk away from these championships,
:42:43. > :42:47.injury-free, she can look forward to a fantastic outdoors season.
:42:47. > :42:55.has improved with each round. Steve Cram, how will she approached this
:42:55. > :42:58.one? I think journey -- Jenny Meadows
:42:58. > :43:03.will control it from the front, that is where she is comfortable
:43:03. > :43:08.competing. I am wondering what spikes she has got on today? It is
:43:08. > :43:12.important. She was talking yesterday about her Achilles
:43:12. > :43:18.problem. Racing spikes 10 to get you on your toes and she said she
:43:18. > :43:24.wasn't ready to be on her toes, so she went back to her training
:43:24. > :43:29.spikes. Something similar to that is what is required today. The
:43:29. > :43:34.Russian will be tough. Elena Kotulskaya looked the best of the
:43:34. > :43:41.rest of the competitors in this. Jenny Meadows has a great
:43:41. > :43:51.reputation, the defending champion. She is in lane six. Nataliya Lupu
:43:51. > :44:02.
:44:02. > :44:07.by 1,000th of a second. She has had a great season.
:44:07. > :44:17.Olha Lyakhovaya could be a danger if it is slow. But added see Jenny
:44:17. > :44:18.
:44:18. > :44:23.Meadows allowed that to happen. Maryna Arzamasava, in the next lane.
:44:23. > :44:33.Elena Kotulskaya it is the danger. She didn't make the Olympic team
:44:33. > :44:37.last year. She ran in the Diamond League. She ran so well in Monaco.
:44:37. > :44:43.Jenny Meadows, completely missing out last year with her Achilles
:44:43. > :44:47.injury, so good to see her back, the team captain. Can she lead by
:44:47. > :44:57.example here? It has already been a good start for the British team
:44:57. > :45:14.
:45:14. > :45:19.today. Three medals in the first Meadows wants to go to the front.
:45:19. > :45:26.Kotulskaia allowing Jenny Meadows goad to the front, it's almost like
:45:26. > :45:30.that is the script that she wanted to happen. This is what we'd
:45:30. > :45:35.expected. Jenny Meadows taking it out. She's going to try and win
:45:35. > :45:40.this from the front. A decent pace from Jenny, she's where she wants
:45:40. > :45:44.to be and where she feels comfortable. Kotulskaia also where
:45:44. > :45:47.she feels comfortable. Jenny will have watched the performance of
:45:47. > :45:52.mock talk Mohamed and we have been raised by that. She has come here
:45:52. > :45:56.with a medal in her sights. Nobody has successfully defended this
:45:56. > :46:03.title and no British woman has retained it. Budgies in their
:46:03. > :46:13.giving it her absolute best shot. - - but she is in their giving it her
:46:13. > :46:26.
:46:26. > :46:33.something left on the last lap. The not going flat out yet. With every
:46:33. > :46:43.lap they flower lip -- they slow were little bit, imperceptibly.
:46:43. > :46:51.
:46:51. > :47:00.This is were yesterday we saw Jenny to fight for a medal here. Libby
:47:00. > :47:10.has stolen -- Lupu has stolen a head. It may be too much too late
:47:10. > :47:15.
:47:15. > :47:18.fit Jenny Meadows would have been able to finish that off on that
:47:18. > :47:23.last lap. Given the amount of training shoes mist, that is really
:47:23. > :47:28.the reason why she was unable to produce the last lap bed. The poll
:47:28. > :47:35.waited and waited and waited, does what she always does. She's really
:47:35. > :47:38.good in these sort of races. That's a really good medal for her.
:47:38. > :47:44.Kotulskaia will think maybe she spent too much time watching Jenny
:47:44. > :47:49.Meadows and wasn't watching what was coming from behind. Jenny
:47:49. > :47:52.should be reasonably happy. A few weeks ago she wasn't even coming to
:47:52. > :47:56.these championships. She would be happy because she set herself a
:47:56. > :47:59.target and she will have wanted to do that. But realistically, she
:47:59. > :48:09.will see she did absolutely everything she could do there, she
:48:09. > :48:09.
:48:09. > :48:19.just didn't have it in her legs. A Lupu made her move, she had way
:48:19. > :48:21.
:48:21. > :48:31.more running in the last finishing not straining in the way the girls
:48:31. > :48:34.
:48:34. > :48:39.three here obviously ran good races, ran well. Kotulskaia, was maybe a
:48:39. > :48:44.little bit of sleep on that last lap. This is where you run out of
:48:44. > :48:49.steam a bit. Three races in three days as well. Exactly. This is
:48:49. > :48:53.yesterday where Jenny did have something to raise it. But you are
:48:53. > :48:58.right that Kotulskaia was watching Jenny too much and then Jenny
:48:58. > :49:08.almost not started going backwards, but compared to Lupu, Kotulskaia
:49:08. > :49:18.
:49:18. > :49:28.made the move too late and she have won that race. She just misses
:49:28. > :49:38.
:49:38. > :49:41.Steve Cram saying that you've run them back to back. Considering the
:49:41. > :49:47.lack of what you've had over the winter, that pretty remarkable in
:49:47. > :49:51.itself. But you will have wanted a medal. Yes, it's a difficult
:49:51. > :49:55.situation. I've only been running for 12 weeks. I never envisaged
:49:55. > :50:00.being back racing yet. I thought it was important to start raising
:50:00. > :50:06.again, just to put yourself through that mental preparation. I'm really
:50:06. > :50:10.disappointed with that because I felt really fresh. I finished that
:50:10. > :50:15.race and my team speech to the team as team captain, I said, don't
:50:15. > :50:20.leave any energy on the track. I've become a bit of a victim of that.
:50:20. > :50:25.It is down to lack of preparation and training on the back straight.
:50:25. > :50:29.I switched off a little bit. I felt one person come past and I let
:50:29. > :50:34.three past. I did have the speed and strength to hold them off but
:50:34. > :50:39.once mentally they've gone past and then a bend comes up, it's really
:50:39. > :50:42.difficult. It was a massive tactical error. But fourth in
:50:42. > :50:48.Europe off the training I've done is pretty good. I've done three
:50:48. > :50:52.races back-to-back. I will take that forward to the summer. It ends
:50:52. > :50:55.my ego were little bit, I don't like getting beaten. I am a better
:50:55. > :51:00.athlete than that. But I'm so incredibly proud of myself to put
:51:00. > :51:04.myself on the line with little preparation. It's all about the
:51:04. > :51:08.summer. It's difficult to weigh up, because we spoke to your coat
:51:08. > :51:13.before the race, he was saying it was remarkable you are even here at
:51:13. > :51:17.all. To make the final is great in itself. It's equating that in your
:51:17. > :51:21.head. It is. It's quite hard because I know all those things,
:51:21. > :51:25.but I tried to forget them and put them to the back of my head because
:51:25. > :51:30.I don't want those to be in my head when I'm racing. But those answers
:51:30. > :51:33.are pretty obvious. I don't think any other athlete could have come
:51:33. > :51:41.to the championship with the lack of preparation I've had. So I'm
:51:41. > :51:51.really proud of myself. Fourth place is fantastic in those
:51:51. > :51:54.
:51:54. > :52:04.triple jump final. This is LA Mantia of Italy, the defending
:52:04. > :52:14.
:52:14. > :52:24.jump so far. Just seemed to move ahead of second-placed bed. I don't
:52:24. > :52:24.
:52:24. > :53:39.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 75 seconds
:53:39. > :53:44.think the gold medal is going to be been a red flag. Indeed it was. Two
:53:44. > :53:54.jumps to go for the British number one. She's got a lot of work to do
:53:54. > :54:04.
:54:04. > :54:08.if she wants to get in amongst the spectacular. Not necessarily
:54:08. > :54:15.because of the distances, but because of the competitiveness of
:54:15. > :54:25.it. Kopets now of Belarus, one of the few rotational throwers in the
:54:25. > :54:57.
:54:57. > :55:01.the lead ahead of the Russian. Two successive throws. We've seen
:55:01. > :55:08.the best throw in the competition so far. And then Kolodko responded
:55:08. > :55:13.beautifully. It looks as though the Russian has gone back in the lead.
:55:13. > :55:23.The pre-event favourite, Schwanitz of Germany, is way off the pace at
:55:23. > :55:44.
:55:44. > :55:48.first time she's really put a throw together. It almost looks as though
:55:48. > :55:52.she's been pausing in the middle of the circle. The lead in this final
:55:52. > :56:02.has changed three or four times to different athletes, it's very
:56:02. > :56:03.
:56:03. > :56:13.competitive indeed. She bangs it out. Over 90 metres. -- 19 metres.
:56:13. > :56:15.
:56:15. > :56:20.Schwanitz has got it. She's in the British team, we got three
:56:20. > :56:30.medals - a gold and a silver in the women's 400m from Perri Shakes-
:56:30. > :56:35.Drayton and Eilidh Child. These are men's 400m runners. In the mix for
:56:35. > :56:42.medals, probably not gold. Mukhtar Mohamed got a bronze medal in the
:56:42. > :56:46.800m. But this 400m is going to be a battle. It could be carnage, they
:56:46. > :56:50.might be fireworks. It really is going to be tough for our boys. But
:56:50. > :56:54.they are optimistic. They've run well. They've just got to commit
:56:54. > :56:59.themselves. You can be guaranteed that the battle for the first 200m
:56:59. > :57:05.is going to be intense. Colin, we saw in the semi-finals, they all
:57:05. > :57:09.wanted to be there at the bell in the lead. It is crucial. I
:57:10. > :57:13.mentioned on Friday that you need some clear air. We saw Perri do
:57:13. > :57:17.that. Once she got out in front, you are completely out of trouble,
:57:17. > :57:22.you can just concentrate on what you are doing. Maslak is the clear
:57:22. > :57:25.favourite. He's done tremendously well over 300 metres. He
:57:26. > :57:31.demonstrated yesterday that he can literally when it any way he wants.
:57:31. > :57:34.He can kick, he can sit from behind, he can take it from the front. With
:57:34. > :57:37.that kind of basic speed he has demonstrated, it will be very
:57:37. > :57:42.difficult for our lads to get to the front and control the race. As
:57:42. > :57:46.you said, Denise, you can never know what will happen. Maslak is in
:57:46. > :57:51.five, the favourite. Trenikhin round a little bit quicker in the
:57:51. > :57:54.semi-finals. He did. He's been quite commanding and has shown
:57:54. > :57:58.really good form in these championships. An imposing figure
:57:58. > :58:02.because of his height, his stride length. It's going to be very
:58:02. > :58:07.difficult to get round him if he's out in front. Michael Bingham in
:58:07. > :58:11.one, not a great draw. We saw Sian Cox in the women's 400m final, she
:58:11. > :58:15.went out very hard and then she paid for it. If you are in lane one
:58:15. > :58:19.you really have to commit yourself. Athletes will be diving in in front
:58:19. > :58:22.of you. Be used a lot of energy to hit the front. You have to be head
:58:22. > :58:29.and shoulders above the rest of the field at you will dominate from
:58:29. > :58:34.lane one. Nigel have been in three, Richard Strachan in four. Nigel
:58:34. > :58:39.have been has probably shown the best form so far in this indoor
:58:39. > :58:44.season. I would agree with you. But I did like the way that Richard
:58:45. > :58:51.Strachan ran. You can expect him to be gutsy, go out hard. In terms of
:58:51. > :58:55.pedigree, yes, Levine has run quicker General A. But it's all to
:58:55. > :59:05.go for. They know what needs to be done. They know the main
:59:05. > :59:18.
:59:18. > :59:22.protagonists so they've just got to over here. In the bird's nest on
:59:22. > :59:27.the far side, they will be able to turn around and see these 400m men
:59:27. > :59:31.line-up. I came here thinking, like the guys were saying, Maslak is the
:59:31. > :59:36.favourite, good 300 metre pace, he's been training in South Africa,
:59:36. > :59:40.but Trenikhin has really impressed me. I think his big frame, if he
:59:40. > :59:46.gets through this first 200m in front, he might be difficult to get
:59:46. > :59:51.past. Bingham on the inside, Bulakhov in two, Ben Levine and
:59:51. > :59:58.Strachan in three and four. Maslak in five and then the Russian
:59:58. > :00:06.Trenikhin on the outside. Trenikhin has such a physical presence.
:00:06. > :00:12.Maslak is a lovely looking one a, he's very smooth. -- a lovely
:00:12. > :00:16.looking runner. Back to the point I made with the women in the four
:00:16. > :00:26.times 400m. Everything being OK, the three individual
:00:26. > :00:37.
:00:37. > :00:40.representatives will run in the UK champion in Birmingham, he has
:00:40. > :00:47.had his gold does not a little bit here. He will be brave, he will be
:00:47. > :00:55.strong, try to get involved in the mix. His tactic two years ago, but
:00:55. > :01:00.he finished 5th in the end. Pavel Maslak, this great prospect,
:01:00. > :01:06.sub 45 outdoors, a man who is improving all of the time.
:01:06. > :01:15.This man ran 21.2 in a Russian meeting at the beginning of the
:01:15. > :01:25.month, not that slow, indoors, for it big man.
:01:25. > :01:53.
:01:53. > :02:03.for him, whether to sit back and wait what happens, or to attack the
:02:03. > :02:17.
:02:17. > :02:23.get an indication. Pavel Maslak has already taken kay two metres from
:02:23. > :02:31.the tall Russian. Pavel Maslak has really gone for it, so has Nigel
:02:31. > :02:41.Levine. Trenikhin will try to get behind Pavel Maslak. The Czech
:02:41. > :02:48.Republic athlete in the lead. Pavel Maslak is control -- it is in
:02:48. > :02:57.control. He has got this. Looking good. Nigel Levine has just clipped
:02:58. > :03:04.Trenikhin, coming through for the sort of. A scrap for bronze. --
:03:04. > :03:09.coming through for silver. That man just gets better and
:03:09. > :03:15.better, he looked Supreme coming into this. Nigel Levine did well
:03:15. > :03:23.there. He had a difficult decision to make. When Trenikhin came across
:03:23. > :03:31.him, his momentum sent him so wide, so he took advantage. On the last
:03:31. > :03:38.bend, Trenikhin was going backwards. No doubt about the winner, the sky
:03:38. > :03:45.is going to have a good summer. The outdoor champion, the indoor
:03:45. > :03:50.champion. Nigel levine macro -- Nigel Levine just clicked his heels,
:03:50. > :04:00.the Russians may have something to say about it. They lost their
:04:00. > :04:02.
:04:02. > :04:08.number-one 400m runner up in the Levine running a very good race
:04:08. > :04:14.indeed. Coming close to the 46 second mark. Just watch that. Pavel
:04:14. > :04:20.Trenikhin, tried to get back into second place. He is wide, he comes
:04:20. > :04:24.across Nigel Levine. Nigel Levine had the inside. Not the best angle
:04:25. > :04:33.to see it from. Trenikhin had to get well past his man before he
:04:33. > :04:38.comes in. It happens, when people are running, when somebody cuts
:04:38. > :04:44.across you. You are tried to keep your stride length going. Sometimes
:04:44. > :04:50.that can happen. Nigel Levine was cutting back, that
:04:50. > :04:56.was the problem as well. He wants to come around the Russian. As he
:04:56. > :05:01.is moving out of his line to attack around the bend. You know what? It
:05:01. > :05:11.is one of those where we could look at this if you times and come up
:05:11. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:29.with slightly different answers. -- result for Great Britain. Nigel
:05:29. > :05:41.
:05:41. > :05:50.Levine with a season's best, he Michael, your head in your hands, a
:05:50. > :05:58.missed opportunity? The Russian guys stepped off the track. And
:05:58. > :06:03.kicked hard. Even though I was in lane one, I felt as if I should
:06:03. > :06:12.have been up there. We are getting things going for the outdoors. I
:06:12. > :06:22.want to say hi to my brother! have relayed duty to come. Yes, a
:06:22. > :06:23.
:06:23. > :06:30.little later. Richard, can I bring you in quickly? A quick word? As
:06:30. > :06:38.always, aggressive, strong. I knew these two would go out quick. Nigel.
:06:38. > :06:48.The Russian. Pavel Maslak. Nigel, congratulations. I wanted to
:06:48. > :06:58.be dead, close enough. I felt like I had quite a lot left -- I wanted
:06:58. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:06.to be there, close enough. It takes a lot out you. Nigel was awesome.
:07:06. > :07:11.Well done. I know you have relay duty as well.
:07:11. > :07:16.You are part of the same training group. A pat on the back from the
:07:16. > :07:22.nation, a tremendous silver medal. I heard your shirt, I can't believe
:07:22. > :07:32.it! The first time I have made a European final, and to get a silver
:07:32. > :07:33.
:07:33. > :07:42.medal. I am speechless. I'd like to thank Linford Christie over there,
:07:43. > :07:48.my family, the whole squad, the medical team, everybody. Everybody
:07:48. > :07:52.has supported me really. We knew he was quality. You had some tussles
:07:53. > :07:57.with him in the build up. We also saw that the Russian was in fine
:07:57. > :08:04.form. How did you keep it together, knowing you were a medal contender
:08:04. > :08:11.but those others were exemplary. Just go up there, do my best,
:08:11. > :08:17.listen to my coach. I finished second. A season's best. What can I
:08:17. > :08:23.say? From lane three. You have the relay to come, they could be
:08:23. > :08:28.another medal. They do little bit of aggro with the Russian. He
:08:28. > :08:37.actually stepped from the track, what do you think he was trying to
:08:37. > :08:47.suggest? Was there any contact? he ran wide. 400m. This is what he
:08:47. > :08:47.
:08:47. > :08:52.is probably talking about. I am on the inside lane. You see. Trying to
:08:52. > :08:58.chop in front of me so I had to slow down. That is not my fault.
:08:58. > :09:03.You saw him cut right in front of me. So he has gone back on to the
:09:03. > :09:13.track. You don't think it is your fault. That's for talking to us,
:09:13. > :09:50.
:09:50. > :09:54.not a happy person. -- I saw really good in qualification. Not
:09:54. > :10:01.easy to negotiate her way through. The race went perfectly for her in
:10:01. > :10:06.qualification. 15 laps of the track. Look at that, a bit of pushing and
:10:06. > :10:10.shoving, that is a necessary, straight away. They have been
:10:10. > :10:20.called back, well done to the starter. They have carried on
:10:20. > :10:21.
:10:21. > :10:29.running. I have heard the guns have gone, they are going to stop.
:10:29. > :10:37.RADCLIFFE: They need somebody to come up on track to stop them.
:10:37. > :10:40.Let us have another little look at that. Let us see if Lauren how that
:10:40. > :10:45.is her it. Stopping and starting again, she would have the same
:10:46. > :10:50.adrenalin rush to keep the pain away. I bet there is adrenalin
:10:50. > :11:00.coursing through her veins now. A little bit of a graze but she is
:11:00. > :11:04.
:11:04. > :11:11.fine. She has a graze on her leg Sara Moreira pushes everybody back
:11:12. > :11:16.in. It was a domino effect, it was Sara Moreira's fault. A shock when
:11:16. > :11:21.that happens. She did the right thing, she got right up, she heard
:11:21. > :11:27.the secondary done to bring them back. I do remember the Dream Mile
:11:27. > :11:32.in Oslo, where one athlete felt after two metres. It does happen.
:11:32. > :11:40.Thankfully, they have all been brought back, absolutely, the right
:11:40. > :11:49.decision. Somebody should have a word with Sara Moreira. Just get
:11:49. > :11:57.away from the line safely, then the sort yourselves out. -- then sort
:11:57. > :12:02.yourselves out. The Portuguese athlete, there she is. She ended up
:12:02. > :12:06.on the inside but wanted to get straight back on but didn't need to
:12:06. > :12:15.be as aggressive. Natalia Aristarkhova, a good steeplechase
:12:15. > :12:25.de. Fionnuala Britton, we have high hopes for her. If this is slow, I
:12:25. > :12:34.
:12:34. > :12:44.suspect Lauren have made want to looking at her arm and leg. She
:12:44. > :12:50.
:12:50. > :12:57.we needed to do first time. They have settled down. There are a lot
:12:57. > :13:02.of options here, Paula Radcliffe? Sara Moreira will want to control
:13:02. > :13:11.this. She has won indoors on many occasions, not always with great
:13:11. > :13:16.success, she did win a medal four years ago. Corinna Harrer, 1,500m
:13:16. > :13:21.specialist, steeplechase, a real mix.
:13:21. > :13:25.Sara Moreira looked most in control, I have been watching for her to do
:13:25. > :13:30.something today. Fionnuala Britton at the back for Ireland, I am
:13:30. > :13:35.surprised to see her there, her best tactic would be to make the
:13:35. > :13:38.pace from the start. She has developed a closing finish. It is
:13:38. > :13:45.one thing in the Irish championships, another thing
:13:45. > :13:52.against the fast athletes here today. Her best would make -- would
:13:53. > :14:02.be to make it an honest pace. Mowen Howarth, she has a rash where she
:14:03. > :14:07.
:14:07. > :14:12.has fallen. -- Lauren Howarth. It is slow through the first 400m.
:14:12. > :14:17.All of these women have run under nine minutes. I think Fionnuala
:14:17. > :14:22.Britton might be better off going out to make this a hard race. She
:14:22. > :14:26.has been in great shape this winter. Sara Moreira might think a little
:14:27. > :14:32.bit the same. There may be others in here who will want to kick for a
:14:32. > :14:41.medal. I am always amazed how people arrive at a Championships
:14:41. > :14:51.with, in their heads, at a kick which they have never shown before
:14:51. > :15:05.
:15:05. > :15:10.move. Somebody, maybe even Lauren, needs to come round and start
:15:10. > :15:20.making it in to a decent race. Moreira is quite happy controlling
:15:20. > :15:27.
:15:27. > :15:32.name of the game as far as Aldama is concerned, but he hasn't been
:15:32. > :15:42.able to produce that extra bit of distance to take her into a medal
:15:42. > :15:45.
:15:45. > :15:50.position. Last opportunity, and over the course of the last couple
:15:50. > :16:00.of days, one in qualifying and one in this final, 13.95. But in order
:16:00. > :16:02.
:16:02. > :16:09.to get a medal, she would have had to go beyond 14.26. She will finish
:16:09. > :16:14.in 6th place. Saladuha, with that 14.88 in the first round, just
:16:14. > :16:21.finished the competition off. This is her last jump. Can she finished
:16:21. > :16:26.off with a flourish? No, she can't. No doubt about the credentials of
:16:26. > :16:31.this great athlete. World champion a couple of years ago, twice a
:16:31. > :16:34.European outdoor champion. Now she's the European indoor champion.
:16:34. > :16:44.Makes slight amends for just a bronze medal in the Olympic Games
:16:44. > :17:02.
:17:02. > :17:07.last year. The longest jump in the as I say that, Belete picks up the
:17:07. > :17:13.pace. It was fast becoming just about 81,500 metres race. They've
:17:13. > :17:23.been running at 10,000 metres pace. All the sudden the race is on.
:17:23. > :17:32.
:17:32. > :17:38.Belete injected a 834 second, 200m lap. Before that they were running
:17:38. > :17:42.really slowly. Idol must say marathon pace. Lauren Howath did
:17:42. > :17:46.move up to the front but seemed to lack the confidence to make the
:17:46. > :17:54.move. If somebody makes a move, it's going to be fast and it's got
:17:54. > :17:59.to be a big difference. Howath picking her way through their, in a
:17:59. > :18:09.sense that she's looking for a bit of a gap. She will now not feel as
:18:09. > :18:14.
:18:14. > :18:18.now got to settle there, hope that Belete doesn't slow too much. She's
:18:18. > :18:22.slowed right down again and the field bunched as up. Howath is
:18:22. > :18:26.stuck on the inside a little bit, but somebody needs to pick this up.
:18:26. > :18:32.Absolutely. It messes with your legs and makes you feel more
:18:32. > :18:36.fatigued when the pace is up and down like this. These girls are
:18:36. > :18:39.going to be feeling that. I'm surprised to see Britton sat back
:18:39. > :18:49.there. If she came through and attacked this, she could do
:18:49. > :19:08.
:19:09. > :19:13.left it to the good 1500m runners... The Russian girls will be very
:19:14. > :19:18.dangerous the more this race goes on. Korobkina pushing forward to,
:19:18. > :19:28.but Aristarkhova going a little bit backwards. She seems to be a little
:19:28. > :19:51.
:19:51. > :19:56.bit in trouble with the alternating little bit. -- fee on the Muller.
:19:56. > :20:03.Moreira is trying to push this pace on. She probably feels she is the
:20:03. > :20:13.one who makes -- needs to make it faster now. Howath starting to
:20:13. > :20:22.
:20:23. > :20:29.will it be enough to get a medal? Moreira keeping the pressure on.
:20:29. > :20:32.She pulls Harrer away with her. Korobkina looks spend here. Eakin
:20:32. > :20:36.si Moreira looking around a little bit, may be trying to get a bit of
:20:36. > :20:43.an idea of what's going on behind her. It's quite difficult in this
:20:43. > :20:47.arena, it isn't a screen she can look up to to get any idea of that.
:20:47. > :20:52.A little bit of daylight there, Harrer starting to tread water a
:20:52. > :21:02.bit now. I don't think it looks as though Korobkina has got a lot of
:21:02. > :21:10.
:21:10. > :21:13.finish left in her. This is brave back to Sacramento, of Portugal,
:21:13. > :21:23.who's done well in these championships, but this looks like
:21:23. > :21:29.
:21:29. > :21:34.Mary Cullen was the last Irish athlete to win a medal in this
:21:34. > :21:44.event. The winner easily gliding around that top bend. There's a
:21:44. > :22:02.
:22:02. > :22:07.real scrap on for the medals behind personal best, who can run the
:22:08. > :22:14.fastest at 3000m, I felt as though Moreira was smart there. She didn't
:22:14. > :22:18.panic when it was too slow, she kept winding it up. The 1500 metre
:22:18. > :22:26.runners weren't strong enough. Britton will be delighted with her
:22:26. > :22:30.medal. No doubt about our clear winner. Very easy win by Moreira.
:22:30. > :22:35.Britton happy with a medal. She has won her first medal on the track in
:22:35. > :22:40.any sort of Championships. For me, she just let it go there. Going
:22:40. > :22:43.back to the European crash country, she crashed her and was able to
:22:43. > :22:47.destroy her by hard running in the middle of the race and hard running
:22:47. > :22:57.at the beginning. She ran for a medal, she didn't run to try and
:22:57. > :23:02.
:23:02. > :23:08.win that race. She should be proud she's a good cross country runner,
:23:08. > :23:12.often Portugal have done well at the European cross-country events.
:23:12. > :23:17.This year might be a bit different for her. That will give her a lot
:23:17. > :23:20.of confidence. It's not world class running, really, by the standards
:23:20. > :23:24.she will meet outside. None the less, that will mean a lot to her.
:23:24. > :23:27.It's a bit like when Helen won a couple of years ago, it's great
:23:27. > :23:32.that somebody like that has won a gold medal. I suppose it's nice to
:23:32. > :23:36.see someone like Moreira succeed to take over from Helen. It will give
:23:36. > :23:39.her a big boost. She handled the pace changes very well and came out
:23:39. > :23:49.with a pretty decent time, considering how slow they were
:23:49. > :23:54.
:23:54. > :23:58.stood her in good stead to hold off there. She had a great line. She
:23:58. > :24:05.was finishing really strongly. At Yushu could have used some of that
:24:05. > :24:08.running early on in the race. We are looking into the closing stages
:24:08. > :24:12.of the race again. Korobkina putting herself in the right
:24:12. > :24:16.position that he hasn't got enough in her legs to carry her past to a
:24:16. > :24:26.medal. Britton fighting hard and finishing really strongly, but she
:24:26. > :24:32.
:24:32. > :24:42.Lauren Howath. I think she will have learned a lot from these
:24:42. > :25:03.
:25:03. > :25:08.Show everybody your injuries. What happened at the start from your
:25:08. > :25:12.point of view? This one girl hit me on my leg as she started off.
:25:12. > :25:22.Someone else went from the other side. I don't know, I ended up on
:25:22. > :25:33.
:25:33. > :25:38.It makes painful viewing for you. It's quite painful. I'm glad we had
:25:38. > :25:44.a restart. It would have been just as two at the back, shall we carry
:25:44. > :25:52.on? I heard the gun go off so I knew it was stopping. I thought
:25:52. > :25:56.someone would come out over their. I was, like, yeah, we can stop.
:25:56. > :26:04.got the restart and finished sixth. To be on the stage and do that,
:26:04. > :26:06.you've got a good perspective on it as well. Mo Farah's first senior
:26:06. > :26:10.Best was European indoors and he came 6th in that. I've just got to
:26:10. > :26:15.do what he did, double Olympic champion one day. Are you happy
:26:15. > :26:22.with how it's gone? I would have liked to have done a bit better in
:26:22. > :26:29.the final bet I got top-six. I'm happy that I'm here, didn't expect
:26:29. > :26:34.to be here. I will build on this. You've done yourself proud. We'll
:26:34. > :26:37.let you go and get patched up. Congratulations. We've seen you do
:26:37. > :26:42.it so many times over the cross- country courses but to do it on the
:26:42. > :26:45.track, what does that mean to you? It's different and I suppose it's
:26:45. > :26:50.special. I've never been to an indoor championships before. I've
:26:50. > :26:54.really enjoyed it, at normal indoor races where it's fast-paced from
:26:54. > :26:59.the start, it's nice to have tactics involved as well. What was
:26:59. > :27:03.going through your mind in the last hundred metres or so? In the last
:27:03. > :27:08.400 I was, like, I'm not going forward again. I didn't even know
:27:08. > :27:13.at the finish, did they come second, did I come for? A UK min on the
:27:13. > :27:23.inside. When I came around the bend I thought, I'm on the inside, she's
:27:23. > :27:33.
:27:33. > :27:39.not going to let me through. Schwanitz. Well over 90 metres.
:27:39. > :27:42.Kolodko could not respond. -- 19 metres. The German, with her last
:27:42. > :27:51.throw, moved up from fourth place into the gold medal position and
:27:51. > :27:55.has managed to hang on to the lead. Despite the tensions of Kolodko and
:27:55. > :27:59.Kopets, who held gold and silver for quite some time during the
:27:59. > :28:09.competition. Schwanitz started the day as the pre-event favourite. She
:28:09. > :28:26.
:28:26. > :28:30.took her time but she eventually session in Gothenburg, four medals
:28:30. > :28:40.for the British team. You've got time to go and get your Sunday
:28:40. > :28:40.
:28:40. > :29:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 75 seconds
:29:23. > :29:33.lunch and then come back. This is we've got six at the moment, two
:29:33. > :29:49.
:29:49. > :29:53.me. Colin is normally smug anyway. It's been an exciting Championships.
:29:53. > :29:57.It's nice to see the new faces coming through. The ones we've
:29:57. > :30:01.expected to deliver have delivered. Overall, the championships have
:30:01. > :30:07.been very successful. We came here with a very small team and with
:30:07. > :30:17.huge expectations. So far, so good. Let's look back to the women's
:30:17. > :30:23.
:30:23. > :30:33.triple jump. Saladuha her, it was take the gold. Aldama of Britain,
:30:33. > :30:40.
:30:40. > :30:44.Tell me how the event went from your perspective? A not as good as
:30:44. > :30:48.I wanted, but I want to be ready for the summer.
:30:48. > :30:57.We saw the strapping on your shoulder, you still have a knee
:30:57. > :31:07.injury. They I needed to do this. I know the things I need to work on.
:31:07. > :31:08.
:31:08. > :31:12.The strapping on a sure that is to protect it -- up on my shoulder.
:31:12. > :31:19.Where do you go from here, what is the plan for the next couple of
:31:19. > :31:27.months? To take if you days of, then start training again. Probably
:31:27. > :31:34.to go away. I am happy, I am taking a positive from this competition.
:31:34. > :31:39.We wish you the best for the outdoor season.
:31:39. > :31:49.Sweden's greatest ever triple jumper Christian olsen hails from
:31:49. > :31:56.
:31:56. > :32:06.Good to see you. A little bit cold. I know. I am looking forward to
:32:06. > :32:10.
:32:10. > :32:14.A nice picture! COMMENTATOR: Welcome back to
:32:14. > :32:20.Gothenburg, Jonathan Edwards will begin his campaign for a gold medal
:32:20. > :32:30.in the triple jump. First of all, it doesn't look any
:32:30. > :32:33.
:32:33. > :32:37.different! It was a long time ago. 18 years ago. The COMMENTATOR:
:32:37. > :32:43.Jonathan Edwards in the triple jump final, we could be on the verge of
:32:43. > :32:51.something special. I was sitting on the wall, very
:32:51. > :32:55.close. We had accreditation to the arena. If nobody is sitting in a
:32:55. > :33:03.seat, you can move. They didn't come, so we were very lucky to
:33:03. > :33:06.watch the triple jump. They were boosting the triple jump
:33:06. > :33:13.in this country as something special.
:33:13. > :33:18.Did you think I was going to break the world record? I think that we
:33:18. > :33:24.all did. COMMENTATOR: Jonathan Edwards in the first round, it is
:33:24. > :33:34.massive! My goodness! I remember you breaking the world
:33:34. > :33:34.
:33:34. > :33:40.record in the first round. 18.18? No, at what you would know it.
:33:40. > :33:45.18.60. Not that I have watched it a million times!
:33:45. > :33:51.That first round, or I wanted to do was get a half-decent job in, calm
:33:51. > :33:57.my nerves. I knew there were expectations.
:33:58. > :34:02.COMMENTATOR: Oh, my goodness, gracious Me. It is legal. It is a
:34:02. > :34:07.world record for Great Britain and Jonathan Edwards.
:34:07. > :34:10.What I couldn't get my head round was that you could go out again and
:34:10. > :34:13.do it. COMMENTATOR: De Cruddas is
:34:13. > :34:23.anticipating something special once again from Jonathan Edwards of
:34:23. > :34:29.Great Britain. -- the crowd is anticipating. He has done it again,
:34:29. > :34:33.I do not believe it. People break world records but not twice in the
:34:33. > :34:39.same competition. I thought that was pretty much one of the biggest
:34:39. > :34:44.achievements in the sport. I do not know what got hold of me, if I am
:34:44. > :34:50.honest. There is one bit, at the top of the runway, I smiled to
:34:50. > :34:55.myself, appointed by finger, I felt it. I felt like I could do even
:34:55. > :35:00.better. COMMENTATOR: There it is, it is
:35:00. > :35:09.exactly 60 ft, and one quarter of an inch, Jonathan Edwards has made
:35:09. > :35:14.history once again. There will never be a year like it again.
:35:14. > :35:19.Almost without thinking, you know you are going to jump a long way.
:35:19. > :35:23.He has just jumped the greatest jump in athletics history, he has
:35:23. > :35:30.set his second world record been less than 20 minutes.
:35:30. > :35:37.Is this the same pit? I am not sure. There were two. We also have that
:35:37. > :35:44.in the European Championships in 2006. You may be right. Any jumping
:35:44. > :35:51.today? No! They are we became best of rivals.
:35:51. > :36:00.COMMENTATOR: How much longer can the great and keep on going?
:36:00. > :36:06.A medal in Edmonton. That time, I had the time to focus on you all of
:36:06. > :36:09.the time. That gave me the chance to get up to a high level. It was
:36:09. > :36:13.the motivation to compete against you not only because of the world
:36:13. > :36:21.record but because you have a high level. I actually hated you're
:36:21. > :36:30.little bit! I had jumped 17.60. OK, now, I gave something to you to
:36:30. > :36:37.think about. You put the clutch down, geared up, 17. 76. I remember
:36:37. > :36:42.you... You were writing autographs. I don't remember it quite like
:36:42. > :36:52.that! Then, you finished, enough was
:36:52. > :36:53.
:36:53. > :37:03.enough, in 2003 in the World Championships. It skyrocketed my
:37:03. > :37:04.
:37:04. > :37:11.career much faster. You retired. You left a void. Don't get me wrong.
:37:12. > :37:17.I enjoyed winning, the Olympics, World Championships. But I missed
:37:17. > :37:26.the competitiveness of being close to someone all the time. We were
:37:26. > :37:32.rivals, the best time of my career. Even though I won afterwards.
:37:32. > :37:39.need to get inside, it is a lot colder than it was in 1995, that is
:37:39. > :37:45.for sure. Not quite grumpy old men, happy old
:37:45. > :37:50.men, some nice memories. Let us get back to today, four gold medals,
:37:50. > :37:55.pride of place goes to Perri Shakes-Drayton. She was phenomenal.
:37:55. > :38:00.She has delivered on what we expected her to do. She was great
:38:00. > :38:06.through the rounds but even better in that final. It was just a great
:38:06. > :38:13.race. Coming into these championships, fit, healthy, strong.
:38:13. > :38:19.These two glance, Eilidh Child and Perri Shakes-Drayton, have been
:38:19. > :38:23.battling it out the is, from juniors. It means we have a great
:38:23. > :38:28.summer to look forward to. We were impressed with how strong they
:38:28. > :38:33.looked. They were not ragged, they ran yesterday evening, not much
:38:33. > :38:37.time to recover. They have showed they are in great
:38:37. > :38:47.shape. They have obviously worked very hard and it has paid dividends
:38:47. > :38:52.here, it is wonderful to see them come through. Which also saw a
:38:52. > :38:56.great batting performance from Nigel Levine and Muktar Mohammad.
:38:57. > :39:01.Muktar Mohammad really impressed me so much. A difficult race. A lot of
:39:01. > :39:11.argy-bargy but he came through, he showed great maturity by that young
:39:11. > :39:18.man. And we have the relays this afternoon. It looks very promising
:39:18. > :39:23.indeed for later on, more medals, hopefully another two or three.
