:00:51. > :01:00.Here we go then. Londoners calling. Britain is watching. This is
:01:01. > :01:23.phenomenal racing. Here's a one-man world superpower!
:01:24. > :01:46.He wins it right at the end! Look at that. Brings them home to silver.
:01:47. > :01:55.Who is going to get it? Great Britain, the bronze. He's ahead!
:01:56. > :02:08.Silver medal! What an incredible ten days it was.
:02:09. > :02:12.A fantastic Championships in London, finished just under one week ago, we
:02:13. > :02:18.were all there in the Olympic Park but here we are in Birmingham at the
:02:19. > :02:23.Alexander Stadium and it is the Muller Grand Prix incorporating one
:02:24. > :02:26.of the final Diamond Leagues of the season. British band coming to see
:02:27. > :02:31.some fantastic performances and say goodbye to one of their heroes, the
:02:32. > :02:35.most successful British athlete of all time, Mo Farah, who is racing
:02:36. > :02:41.for the very, very last time in this country on the track in the 3000
:02:42. > :02:46.metres, but look at these stars. Elayne Thomson. Richard Whitehead,
:02:47. > :02:52.of course. Lindsay Sharp, she will be running shortly on the track. You
:02:53. > :02:55.get the feeling here that people have been galvanised, enjoyed a
:02:56. > :03:00.championship so much, they want to come out here and see top-class
:03:01. > :03:08.athletics but also I think to say goodbye to one of the very, very
:03:09. > :03:11.best we've ever in our lifetime, Mo Farah. Colin, Denise, Paula
:03:12. > :03:16.Radcliffe, we can't believe it's all one week on from London. Athletes
:03:17. > :03:19.get to the end of a Championships and have nothing left but the stars
:03:20. > :03:26.who are here they still got something to prove, points in the
:03:27. > :03:30.Diamond League race and for Mo, it's going to be an emotional day. Yes,
:03:31. > :03:32.there are a lot of different ways to end their seasons after the
:03:33. > :03:36.championships because that's been the main goal of. To capitalise on
:03:37. > :03:42.the main form they are in and get fast races and other people want to
:03:43. > :03:47.avenge things which went wrong and make up for it. 50 medallists will
:03:48. > :03:50.be on show, 25 gold-medallists. How difficult as an athlete is it to
:03:51. > :03:55.pick yourself up after an championship and contemplate
:03:56. > :03:59.competing a week later? It really does depend on where you were in
:04:00. > :04:07.their Championships. Some have a point to prove. Many know they are
:04:08. > :04:10.in shape. It's an opportunity for them to put their demons behind them
:04:11. > :04:15.and come out with a fast time and also the Diamond League, athletes
:04:16. > :04:20.are not well paid and it's an opportunity for them to top up their
:04:21. > :04:24.bank balance. For the millions who watched the championships on
:04:25. > :04:28.television, they don't always see the struggle week in, week out, with
:04:29. > :04:33.the Diamond League which goes way back into April. They pick up points
:04:34. > :04:38.to try to win themselves living in the sport. This is what it's all
:04:39. > :04:44.about, the bread-and-butter. Yes, this is the final points gathering
:04:45. > :04:47.event over the Diamond League. Here on in, it's zero and then Brussels
:04:48. > :04:52.and then the end of the season, their potential earning money until
:04:53. > :04:55.the indoors and outdoors. It's an important part of a whole structure
:04:56. > :05:03.of athletics where they feel all their hard work, they can get some
:05:04. > :05:13.payment. Plenty of gold-medallist on show, Richard Whitehurst, Johnny
:05:14. > :05:17.Peacock. They don't always blend throughout the season.
:05:18. > :05:23.Disappointingly, athletics has its challenges by year for this meeting
:05:24. > :05:26.in particular, we can have our Paralympic champions and they
:05:27. > :05:35.inspire people. They inspire young people to get out and say, I can do
:05:36. > :05:40.that. People like Kadeena has such a fan base. And Richard Whitehead,
:05:41. > :05:44.also, it's great they are integrated in a race like this. Lets mark your
:05:45. > :05:49.card early so you can see what's happening and some of the action has
:05:50. > :05:53.already started. Lindsay Sharp is going in the women's 800 metres and
:05:54. > :06:02.that contest is followed by the women's 100-metre race. At 2pm, Tom
:06:03. > :06:09.Boswell takes on Adam Clark in the walk versus run head-to-head. The
:06:10. > :06:18.women's heats the 100 metres. And the 400 metres hurdles. Kyle
:06:19. > :06:24.Langford is followed by 100-metre Battle of Britain between two of
:06:25. > :06:28.those relay heroes. Britain and the bounce back from a disappointing
:06:29. > :06:47.World Championships. The women's 100 metres final follows them a.
:06:48. > :06:57.The afternoon concludes with a lap of honour for the four-time Olympic
:06:58. > :07:04.champion, Mo Farah. Lindsay Sharp is out there ready for that 800 metres.
:07:05. > :07:07.She was of course a finalist, not without its problems getting to that
:07:08. > :07:14.final if we remember back to London, when she was first of all
:07:15. > :07:18.disqualified for that argy-bargy. There was an appeal and she got
:07:19. > :07:23.herself into the 800-metre final. Unable to push on from her Rio
:07:24. > :07:29.performance. It was a tricky race. It was tough as they all are, but
:07:30. > :07:33.she has proved over the years she has this gutsy enough about you are
:07:34. > :07:39.right, this season it has not quite gone to form but she will relish the
:07:40. > :07:51.opportunity. Let's remind ourselves that last lap.
:07:52. > :07:57.COMMENTATOR: The four we expect. Lindsay Sharp with them at the
:07:58. > :08:06.moment. She is breathing so hard. The noise of the stadium trying to
:08:07. > :08:12.will her on. The pace is too quick. Wilson hits the front. They are
:08:13. > :08:20.separating themselves from the rest. Wilson around the bend. These three
:08:21. > :08:34.surely for the medals. Lindsay Sharp further back is still. Wilson. Cast
:08:35. > :08:37.as many are waiting to strike. And Semenya blows them away. Look at the
:08:38. > :08:51.time. There is Lindsay Sharp. Paula has
:08:52. > :08:55.hotfooted it to the commentary box. I think I can have a quick word with
:08:56. > :09:02.Paul Abbott Lindsay and her season and what you hope to get out of
:09:03. > :09:08.this. She is up against Lipsey and she likes performing in front of a
:09:09. > :09:10.domestic crowd. Yes, she has a point to prove. She went through an
:09:11. > :09:17.emotional roller-coaster in London and didn't think she was going to be
:09:18. > :09:20.advanced. She gave it her best shot and she's looking forward to this
:09:21. > :09:25.race today and wanted to make the most of it. What kind of mileage
:09:26. > :09:30.will Lindsay have been able to put in since the emotion of that
:09:31. > :09:34.weekend? Very little. At most they may have done a light work-out to
:09:35. > :09:37.keep their legs turning over after speed and the rest will have been
:09:38. > :09:45.easy runs, easy recovery runs may be. Let's hand you over to your
:09:46. > :09:51.commentary duties. Good afternoon, Steve Cram. Hello, everybody coming
:09:52. > :09:59.here we go against. A great afternoon ahead. The 800 metres, not
:10:00. > :10:04.one of the Diamond League races. Quite a big field. It's an
:10:05. > :10:18.opportunity for Lindsay Sharp against Charlene Lipsey. A little
:10:19. > :10:22.battle they had in the battle. The semifinals are the toughest round.
:10:23. > :10:31.Selina Buchel did not make it out. Lipsey went with Lindsay Sharp. An
:10:32. > :10:35.opportunity for Lindsay. Paula making the point, it's difficult for
:10:36. > :10:40.athletes in the week coming straight off the championships. For some, it
:10:41. > :10:45.depends on when your event is. If you aren't in the first few days,
:10:46. > :10:55.the women's events where on early, 800 metres later in the week, so
:10:56. > :11:04.have not had as long to recover. Anita Hinriksdottir, world youth
:11:05. > :11:12.champion from 2013. Another one to watch out for in lane two is Hynne.
:11:13. > :11:23.Alex Bell also trying to get under two minutes. She share the lane with
:11:24. > :11:28.Chambers. It's a little slower. Than they are used to. Is more sensible,
:11:29. > :11:35.though. Sharp accelerating around the bend to try to get a good
:11:36. > :11:38.position. The pacemaker. Anita Hinriksdottir holding the line. A
:11:39. > :11:45.little bit of pushing and shoving going on to get behind the
:11:46. > :11:48.pacemaker. 26 could be a bit quick which is why there was a bit of a
:11:49. > :11:54.gap. Yes, she's a bit worried about being able to get to the front when
:11:55. > :11:56.you have the likes of Lipsey and Anita Hinriksdottir who like to take
:11:57. > :12:00.it fast in the first lap and then it's a job to get it going on at the
:12:01. > :12:06.moment is she's not doing an efficient job. The real race needs
:12:07. > :12:12.to settle down with Lipsey on her shoulder. The young Ethiopian is
:12:13. > :12:20.moving up onto the shoulder of Lindsay Sharp. Alemu. 57.82 which
:12:21. > :12:27.are sensible for the pacemaker but the others are more reticent to go
:12:28. > :12:33.with this. Lipsey holding everybody up behind her. Lindsay Sharp in a
:12:34. > :12:38.good position there. Buchel trapped on the inside. Lindsay Sharp
:12:39. > :12:44.hesitated before she make a move and then Anita Hinriksdottir moved very
:12:45. > :12:49.strongly. It is Hinriksdottir who hits the front well outside 90
:12:50. > :12:55.seconds. It won't be a fast race. Lindsay Sharp will want to win in
:12:56. > :12:59.front of her crowd. Lipsey chasing Lindsay Sharp who strikes for home
:13:00. > :13:05.early and first. It might just be a way to try to win this because
:13:06. > :13:14.Lindsay will try to hold her. This young Ethiopian is getting better
:13:15. > :13:21.all the time, Alemu. Occurred last 200 metres. Lindsay Sharp, second.
:13:22. > :13:27.Lipsey was third. And then the others chasing after that. They have
:13:28. > :13:31.been looking for a good 800-metre runner for a while, Ethiopian, and
:13:32. > :13:34.have great strength in the 1500 metres, but Alemu made the world
:13:35. > :13:41.indoor final and was only a semifinalist last year. She's only
:13:42. > :13:44.20. She's a real prospect for them. Yes, she's one of those athletes we
:13:45. > :13:47.were talking about who is maybe a bit disappointed with her
:13:48. > :13:51.performance in London. She was only eighth in her semifinal and she has
:13:52. > :13:54.certainly come into this with a point to prove and wanting to
:13:55. > :13:58.capitalise on the shape she is in and she ran a great race. She put
:13:59. > :14:01.herself in the right position all the way through and did not strike
:14:02. > :14:06.too early. Lindsay Sharp maybe went too soon but I think also Alemu just
:14:07. > :14:09.had more left in her legs at this point and Lindsay is working hard,
:14:10. > :14:17.already beating Lipsey by this point, but she knows she is there
:14:18. > :14:20.and she can't react any more. She's given everything she can. A quick
:14:21. > :14:23.look over her shoulder to make sure there is no more danger coming from
:14:24. > :14:27.Charlene Lipsey budgie is bitter that clearly but could not stay with
:14:28. > :14:35.Alemu, why think has a big future ahead of. Lindsay struck early
:14:36. > :14:39.there. The timing of your effort, it's essential. Not able to hold
:14:40. > :14:43.its. She will be disappointed not to win in front of her home crowd. But
:14:44. > :14:50.that's a good athlete. She's only going to get better, young
:14:51. > :14:52.Ethiopian. And Lindsay, inside two minutes. Let's check it she is
:14:53. > :15:08.inside two minutes. Just. Great effort. So soon after the
:15:09. > :15:11.World Championships in all of your efforts there haven't come out there
:15:12. > :15:17.today, but he wanted a put on a show for the crowd, I know.
:15:18. > :15:24.It was actually a good race, different to the other races in the
:15:25. > :15:29.year, it was fun. Tell me what it is like to re-motivate yourself after
:15:30. > :15:34.all the rounds? Last week was the main goal of the season, but doing
:15:35. > :15:39.some races today at the end of the season is the bit I enjoyed the
:15:40. > :15:45.most. I have to keep training. What is the plan? A few more races and
:15:46. > :15:50.finish off at the city games on the 9th of September which is fun. Well
:15:51. > :15:58.done on a tremendous performance at the World Championships. Thank you.
:15:59. > :16:03.It is tough, Lynsey Sharp, a great race, but coming off the back of the
:16:04. > :16:06.World Championships a week ago and you know a lot of these and these
:16:07. > :16:13.will be tired physically and emotionally. Absolutely. It is how
:16:14. > :16:17.it is with athletic. But sometimes you surprise yourself. You do not
:16:18. > :16:21.put much pressure on yourself, there is no expectation and some people
:16:22. > :16:27.come away with PBS Mac at this time of the year, it is easily done. We
:16:28. > :16:32.have got three races from the IPC events integrated with this meeting.
:16:33. > :16:39.We have to remind ourselves how well Great Britain did. It was a great
:16:40. > :16:50.performance. 20 gold medals, 18 silver medals, 19 bronze medals, 57
:16:51. > :16:56.medals in total. Sorry, I was reading at the United States! But
:16:57. > :17:02.Great Britain made the top three with 18, eight, 13 and a total of
:17:03. > :17:07.39. Let's have a look at Georgina Hermitage, and she is the 100 metres
:17:08. > :17:12.and 400 metres doubles winner. She says the 100 metres is the least of
:17:13. > :17:17.her favourite events. Here she is in winning style.
:17:18. > :17:24.She says it is her least favourite, but she is strong and powerful and
:17:25. > :17:30.light and acted on the ground. She can turn her hand to any of the
:17:31. > :17:35.events. It is hurt in the 400, winning by a huge margin. She says
:17:36. > :17:44.that is her favourite, but she will be up against a great field. We have
:17:45. > :17:49.got Kadeena Cox in there as well. Four world champions are lining up
:17:50. > :17:54.here. Sophie Hahn is there as well. This is a category for people with
:17:55. > :17:58.cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis. Let's have a look at
:17:59. > :18:04.Kadeena Cox and how she won her gold medal in London. I said earlier how
:18:05. > :18:08.successful she was in Rio and she has used this season to re-establish
:18:09. > :18:14.herself and make sure this season is as strong. This is a brilliant run
:18:15. > :18:17.from her. Really solid. A great piece of running. She is confident,
:18:18. > :18:24.that is the difference with heard this year. Coming off the back of
:18:25. > :18:29.the World Championships a week ago is difficult. Coming off the World
:18:30. > :18:35.Championships three weeks ago is tough, getting yourself back into
:18:36. > :18:39.shape for today. I think the athletes relished being here, so it
:18:40. > :18:44.is not tough for them. They have to mentally say, it is an opportunity
:18:45. > :18:49.to show myself what I can do on home soil. They will know they will get a
:18:50. > :18:53.great reception and they want to be at these events, they want to
:18:54. > :18:57.showcase what they can do. We will see Johnny Peacock later of course
:18:58. > :19:02.as well. Good to Cotter and Colin Jackson.
:19:03. > :19:08.It is effectively two races within one as we have the two categories, T
:19:09. > :19:13.37 and 238. The favourite will be Sophie Hahn, who did the double at
:19:14. > :19:19.the World Championships. She is in the T 38 class, which is those
:19:20. > :19:26.slightly less impaired than those in T 37. Olivia Breen, Katrina Hart are
:19:27. > :19:37.also there. Bethany Tucker on the inside. She is from Gloucestershire.
:19:38. > :19:47.A personal best of 40.52 this season. Alongside her is Geordie
:19:48. > :19:52.Hermitage. The Paralympic gold in Rio over the 100 and 200 and did the
:19:53. > :19:59.100 and 400 double at the World Championships. Sophie Hahn is T 38.
:20:00. > :20:11.Just 20, did the double at the World Championships. World records in
:20:12. > :20:24.both. Kadeena Cox is also T 38. Won gold in the 400 as we saw, to add to
:20:25. > :20:27.her Paralympics title in Rio. Olivia Breen, disappointing in Rio,
:20:28. > :20:34.finished 12th, then moved to Loughborough to train. Katrina Hart
:20:35. > :20:40.is outside her. Birchfield Harrier, so on her home track. Third in the
:20:41. > :20:45.English Championships this year. A reminder, this is for the categories
:20:46. > :20:55.T 37 and 238, those affected by cerebral palsy. Olivia Breen is also
:20:56. > :21:01.a long jumper. Sophie Hahn in lane five is the woman to be here and the
:21:02. > :21:05.world record-holder over 100 and 200 and the T 38 winner Kadeena Cox will
:21:06. > :21:17.try and put her hard. Look out for Georgina Hermitage, T 37, in lane
:21:18. > :21:24.four. A good start by Sophie Hahn. Leaving the rest at the moment. Once
:21:25. > :21:29.she picks up speed, Kadeena Cox will be long. A long way clear as
:21:30. > :21:39.expected. A demonstration by Sophie Hahn. I think Hermitage is third.
:21:40. > :21:44.Sophie Hahn displaying her skills within this class. The world
:21:45. > :21:49.record-holder and a long way clear of the rest. Kadeena Cox and
:21:50. > :21:58.Georgina Hermitage having a good race behind. Having races within the
:21:59. > :22:03.race, T 37 and T 38, Hermitage effectively winning the T 37 race.
:22:04. > :22:10.As far as T 38 goes, Sophie Hahn is untouchable. It is the best of
:22:11. > :22:15.British talent on show. We have got medals galore in this line-up.
:22:16. > :22:21.Sophie is so good. She demonstrates why she is the world's best. There
:22:22. > :22:27.is a pretty stiff headwind. 1.3 or 1.2. She does everything technically
:22:28. > :22:33.right. She drives out of the blocks well and get into that running
:22:34. > :22:37.standards very smoothly. We talk a lot about the transition. It is
:22:38. > :22:42.important to go from acceleration into your stride length. She manages
:22:43. > :22:48.to do this every time so wonderfully accurately. That is good balance.
:22:49. > :22:53.Some people have more impairment within the categories than others.
:22:54. > :23:00.Sophie Hahn floats over the ground. Good symmetry and good balance and
:23:01. > :23:05.another win for Sophie Hahn. Hermitage involved in a very good
:23:06. > :23:14.battle with Kadeena Cox behind. Kadeena Cox getting second.
:23:15. > :23:21.Three of our biggest stars of the track alongside me. Sophie, a
:23:22. > :23:25.tremendous win, a fast time in a stellar year for you. It has been
:23:26. > :23:30.incredible and being in the Diamond League is incredible and it is a
:23:31. > :23:34.home crowd again. I am delighted with the performance. To get to
:23:35. > :23:38.share it with your colleagues from the World Championships recently,
:23:39. > :23:44.what is it like to celebrated here today? It was good to be able to
:23:45. > :23:48.come out in front of a home crowd and enjoy it. The pressure is off a
:23:49. > :23:55.little bit. Just to go out and run and enjoy it. And a nice close space
:23:56. > :23:59.between you two. It was the first time using the blocks for me and we
:24:00. > :24:04.thought pick a race where it does not count, enjoy it. Having this
:24:05. > :24:10.crowd is great for us. Will it be a case of the blocks again? It looks
:24:11. > :24:13.like it, doesn't it? You have all performed really well this season.
:24:14. > :24:25.Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon, we have got some
:24:26. > :24:32.great field events here this afternoon. The men's long jump with
:24:33. > :24:37.two of the finalists, the medallists from last week's World
:24:38. > :24:39.Championships. This South African saw his team-mates take gold. He is
:24:40. > :24:55.not here. Samaai got the bronze behind Lawson
:24:56. > :25:05.of the United States. This was his opening a little while ago. A slight
:25:06. > :25:08.following win. Good conditions in Birmingham. Always tough the week
:25:09. > :25:14.after the World Championships just to get the energy up. Toni
:25:15. > :25:20.Minichiello is looking on. Good afternoon. The first jump in this
:25:21. > :25:25.round. Just decelerate a bit. Got his run up a little bit wrong. A
:25:26. > :25:38.short step into the long jump. But it is the first round. That starts
:25:39. > :25:45.his campaign. He was fourth in the London Olympics. 31 years of age
:25:46. > :25:48.now. Eight last week that the World Championships. Looking to finish off
:25:49. > :25:59.his season with something a little better. That will challenge for the
:26:00. > :26:04.top spot. Samaai is out in front. Nobody has got eight metres, is that
:26:05. > :26:09.a surprise? You are a bit flat after the World Championships because it
:26:10. > :26:12.is an emotional peak as well as a physical peak going to the World
:26:13. > :26:23.Championships, so it is a bit awkward to get into the groove, so
:26:24. > :26:28.they might take a couple of rounds. Torneus, eighth place last week.
:26:29. > :26:33.Maybe a bit of impetus for him. Another great field event under way.
:26:34. > :26:42.The women's pole-vault was very entertaining last week. Holly
:26:43. > :26:44.Bradshaw said she was heartbroken. This is her on the far side of the
:26:45. > :27:00.stadium. The first attempt. Nice and easy for her at 4.41, but
:27:01. > :27:11.still a little bit late with the poll. But it was nice and steady for
:27:12. > :27:17.her. A good start for Holly Bradshaw. She needs to get the poll
:27:18. > :27:25.out a bit earlier. It is your speed going in. It is bent by you running
:27:26. > :27:29.in. You keep stiff arms and that is what puts the energy into it, by
:27:30. > :27:47.bending it. Katerina Stefanidi has not started
:27:48. > :27:58.yet. This is a fascinating head-to-head. Tom Clarke came into
:27:59. > :28:03.our highest in Rio and became a real character and gave walking a
:28:04. > :28:06.platform that it had not had before. Then he walked his way to a British
:28:07. > :28:11.record in the mire with an incredible performance in front of a
:28:12. > :28:16.packed stadium. There were great hopes that he could push on from his
:28:17. > :28:24.sixth place in Rio and he was doing very well in London when this
:28:25. > :28:28.happened just after ten kilometres. He got a red card which meant a
:28:29. > :28:33.disqualification. He was heartbroken and devastated. He said he had not
:28:34. > :28:38.been disqualified for years. He said it was such a shock to lead the race
:28:39. > :28:43.in that way. But there is a smile back on his face today. The crowd
:28:44. > :28:50.will appreciate his endeavours because he is a crowd favourite.
:28:51. > :28:54.This is an unusual event. We do not often see this on the sporting
:28:55. > :28:57.calendar. Steve Cram and Julia Radcliffe, have you ever seen this
:28:58. > :29:05.before? Explain how this will happen. No, we have never seen it
:29:06. > :29:13.before. In simple terms Tom is going to walk 2.5 laps and Adam is going
:29:14. > :29:20.to run 3.5 laps. They are going to have to race to see who gets to the
:29:21. > :29:30.finish line first. The distances have been chosen were at their
:29:31. > :29:34.fastest they will get there roughly at the same time. It should be close
:29:35. > :29:41.and a good spectacle. It is another way to showcase how quick Tom walks.
:29:42. > :29:48.Adam is being set up here I think. Imagine the rest of his life... He
:29:49. > :29:54.is a very good runner. Tom knows Adam well because they have been on
:29:55. > :29:58.camps together with the endurance squad, particularly helping Mo Farah
:29:59. > :30:03.in training as a pacemaker. He is a good run in his own right. If he
:30:04. > :30:05.gets beaten by Tom, he might never live it down. And Tom will not let
:30:06. > :30:14.him forget. I don't know if Tom has had a hand
:30:15. > :30:20.in being able to choose someone, the distances they race over, they ran
:30:21. > :30:24.as closer as they could. Tom wouldn't have much chance to get
:30:25. > :30:27.close to him. This should get the crowd involved. Adam will have to
:30:28. > :30:33.work hard because he's running a time trial. Essentially. The
:30:34. > :30:40.introductions are being made to the crowd. You have to go back, I was
:30:41. > :30:47.talking, if you're watching the walk last Sunday, how racewalking began,
:30:48. > :30:53.it kind of began like this. A lot of betting, around long events, walks,
:30:54. > :30:57.for traces, in Victorian times, and this sort of thing, head-to-head, is
:30:58. > :31:01.what drew in big crowds and this would have had a lot of people lined
:31:02. > :31:07.up taking bets on who was going to win. And these sorts of events were
:31:08. > :31:09.very regular. Brendan Foster was there. It was about 150 years ago
:31:10. > :31:20.and he used to commentate on it! . As I said, 3.5 laps for Adam and
:31:21. > :31:26.away he goes. Tom has got 2.5 laps. They have got to go as quick as they
:31:27. > :31:30.can. It could be harder for Adam because 1400 metres on your own,
:31:31. > :31:35.personal best pace is more difficult. Tom will argue it's hard
:31:36. > :31:39.for him but is more used to being in front of pacemakers, as it were. Yes
:31:40. > :31:43.and it's also got something to focus on because they can still see Adam
:31:44. > :31:48.ahead of him whereas Adam has just got clear open track ahead of him,
:31:49. > :31:53.nothing to aim for until he gets to 200 metres to catch up Tom and then
:31:54. > :31:59.he will be able to work on that but he's got the clock. He's got to get
:32:00. > :32:03.around the fact he is racing like a time trial and not think of it as a
:32:04. > :32:08.race, because in his head, race wise, he's winning by a long way.
:32:09. > :32:15.I'm watching Adam. Is going to go through the first 400 metres in
:32:16. > :32:20.about 58. 59, which is about the pasty should be running. His last
:32:21. > :32:28.race was in Poland during the week. He was third. His brother won a
:32:29. > :32:33.medal in the 1500 World Championships. He is in good shape
:32:34. > :32:40.for the season. This is the pasty is running. One thing in Adam's favour,
:32:41. > :32:43.in training camp he does a very good job as a pacemaker so he's good at
:32:44. > :32:49.hitting times, being the person in front. He hates the times is asked
:32:50. > :32:58.for time and time again and works very hard. -- hits. I was chatting
:32:59. > :33:01.to Tom about what happened in London and he clarified he did not know he
:33:02. > :33:06.picked up two of those cards and they came quickly. The first thing
:33:07. > :33:10.he knew was the official standing in front of him telling me without.
:33:11. > :33:16.There was only one scoreboard he could see and was a hell lap he
:33:17. > :33:20.could see, even though we could see on his computer he had picked up
:33:21. > :33:24.two. He said he felt good but it probably shouldn't have gone to the
:33:25. > :33:29.front and been a bit more patient. Those are valuable lessons to learn.
:33:30. > :33:33.You still have time in major championships but, for today, this
:33:34. > :33:38.is working out really well because he had to be about 100 metres
:33:39. > :33:45.behind, Tom Clarke, and he has got 300 metres to go now. Adam Clarke
:33:46. > :33:49.has got to run a big last lap to catch Tom but this is going to be
:33:50. > :33:57.close. This is what the crowd will get excited about. For the first two
:33:58. > :34:01.laps, it is difficult to see how it will pan out. There he is in the
:34:02. > :34:07.background. Tom is gritting his teeth, 200 to go. This is what
:34:08. > :34:12.happens time and time again on a run. He's got to try to catch. This
:34:13. > :34:20.guy is walking as fast as the slow would be running. Tom is running
:34:21. > :34:27.with 120 metres to go. Adam Clark, 150 metres to go. A little luck
:34:28. > :34:34.behind from Tom. Clark has got a lot to do here. Tom is checking behind
:34:35. > :34:38.him, charging. He's reeling him in. I don't think he will have time. Tom
:34:39. > :34:44.Boswell is going to win the challenge. The Walker comes out on
:34:45. > :34:50.top by about five metres. The winning time, which was about
:34:51. > :34:54.predicted. Well done, Tom. Well done, Adam. I think he was set up
:34:55. > :35:01.the little that there. He tried his best, tried his hardest. That's a
:35:02. > :35:04.good thing to see. Athletics needs to introduce some new ideas and a
:35:05. > :35:07.bit of fun as well. It doesn't mean anything in terms of their season,
:35:08. > :35:14.but it gives the crowd something to enjoy. And showcases one of our star
:35:15. > :35:20.athletes, but Tom was disappointed with this performance but that's
:35:21. > :35:27.bragging rights there, Paula. That will carry on for a long while, I
:35:28. > :35:32.will think, in a training camps. Andy Butcher tried to walk against
:35:33. > :35:35.Tom and gave up and started running. Didn't appreciate until they see him
:35:36. > :35:43.training just how fast he is walking out there. Adam will now realise
:35:44. > :35:46.this. He gave it his best shot. It involved the crowd. You can see how
:35:47. > :35:50.hard he's working down the home straight. There's a grin on Tom 's
:35:51. > :35:57.face because he's got the bragging rights. He even slowed down to give
:35:58. > :36:01.him a tease. You could catch me if you work harder. The boys are down
:36:02. > :36:10.there. We note Tom has captured our
:36:11. > :36:14.imagination with some great performances this year and this kind
:36:15. > :36:19.of thing, playing to the crowd at an, what was it like for you both?
:36:20. > :36:23.Something completely different. I'd never participated anything like
:36:24. > :36:27.that before. You could tell on the last lap the crowd were loving it.
:36:28. > :36:33.It's good for the sport. The right time of the year when major
:36:34. > :36:37.championships are done and you can involve the crowd a little bit with
:36:38. > :36:41.spin off events like today. It's only a positive thing. You are
:36:42. > :36:45.having a sneaky look over your shoulders to make sure you are going
:36:46. > :36:51.to win that one. Definitely, this was fun for me today. I've put last
:36:52. > :36:55.week behind me. My aim is to get racewalking out there and how fast I
:36:56. > :36:59.walk against a runner and this is what athletics needs. Athletics
:37:00. > :37:05.needs new ideas, something to really get the crowd involved and
:37:06. > :37:12.Birmingham made a great knowledge of -- noise today. Cathartic for you
:37:13. > :37:16.after last week? Yes, I'm glad I had something else to focus on. It was
:37:17. > :37:21.about a bit of fun, that of a show. So, for me, of course, I felt like I
:37:22. > :37:25.could have won a medal last week. That can be put to bed now and I can
:37:26. > :37:28.look to next season. I'm full of confidence because I was competing
:37:29. > :37:32.with those guys last week and I felt really strong so lessons have been
:37:33. > :37:34.learned and I will get better. Thank you and Adam, well done. A great
:37:35. > :37:45.spectacle. Thank you. I'm trying to work out how I could
:37:46. > :37:51.give myself some kind of advantage if I was to take you on, Denise, in
:37:52. > :37:56.the habitat along, and if I could give myself some kind of advantage.
:37:57. > :37:59.I can't think of anything at all. That was quite a spectacle when they
:38:00. > :38:06.were coming up the home straight. I'm not sure if you had more in the
:38:07. > :38:09.field it would work out. It's fun. Is an opportunity, once the
:38:10. > :38:17.championships are over, just to have a bit of fun. It might take. I'm not
:38:18. > :38:22.sure. It was entertaining. The last 100 metres was entertaining. The
:38:23. > :38:26.crowd started to get on their feet and into it, so well done, both of
:38:27. > :38:31.them, for having a go. I could always try your feet together, that
:38:32. > :38:38.could help me. I thought you were saying you are going to gag me! The
:38:39. > :38:46.women 100 metres heats are about to kick off and part of the fantastic
:38:47. > :38:50.silver medal quartet in London last week was Dina Asher-Smith, competing
:38:51. > :38:55.on her own at their today. Sally Pearson, what a comeback she had
:38:56. > :38:58.after five years after winning her last global Gold, a 100 metres
:38:59. > :39:03.hurdles last week, competing on the flat today. She has done it before
:39:04. > :39:07.at the Commonwealth Games before. She has been the world junior
:39:08. > :39:11.championship at the 200 metres way back when so there should be a
:39:12. > :39:17.really interesting race. Elaine Thompson out there as well. Sally
:39:18. > :39:22.Pearson of Australia, who was just magnificent in London. She be to
:39:23. > :39:28.build record-holder Penny Harrison who, yet again, has not been able to
:39:29. > :39:32.perform on the biggest stage. When it all about gold, Sally Pearson
:39:33. > :39:36.came up with a gold. Elayne Thompson, surprise fifth place in
:39:37. > :39:41.that final, a chance for her to redeem herself. It will be
:39:42. > :39:45.interesting to see just where Dina Asher-Smith is. A few more weeks of
:39:46. > :39:57.racing, what could she have done in that championship. You saw Sally
:39:58. > :40:00.being introduced. A big favourite. Dina Asher-Smith, huge reception.
:40:01. > :40:07.CROWD CHEERS Print fourth place at the world. It
:40:08. > :40:11.was not the championships Thomson wanted. The Olympic champion fell
:40:12. > :40:16.apart, for whatever reason, she said she wasn't too well beforehand.
:40:17. > :40:26.Santos, she was disqualified in the 200 metres. It didn't work out in
:40:27. > :40:35.the relay. The Nigerian, a decent long jump where she came eighth and
:40:36. > :40:38.did not get things going the way she wanted, Okagbare-Ighoteguonor.
:40:39. > :40:46.Morrison, a bad championships, she only made the championships
:40:47. > :40:51.semifinal. Bianca Williams. Great Britain on the outside.
:40:52. > :41:02.CROWD CHEERS The top three will go through. The
:41:03. > :41:08.two fastest losers of the two heats. If you look down at season 's best,
:41:09. > :41:16.11.41 four Dina Asher-Smith. She's not really run the 400 metres yet.
:41:17. > :41:20.She took everybody's breath away, I think. All of those questions of
:41:21. > :41:30.what if she had had another four weeks, could she have got into the
:41:31. > :41:42.medals? Elaine Thompson. Sally Pearson, don't forget her. Two.
:41:43. > :41:44.Santos, five. Dina Asher-Smith, a cracking start. Thompson just
:41:45. > :41:49.darting to run through on the far side. Elayne Thompson and then Dina
:41:50. > :41:57.Asher-Smith. Okagbare-Ighoteguonor getting third. Thompson makes that
:41:58. > :42:00.looks so easy and so comfortable. And yet she made 100-metre final
:42:01. > :42:04.looks like the hardest thing she'd ever done in her life. I have not
:42:05. > :42:12.come to terms with what happened there. When she can do that, well
:42:13. > :42:19.done, 11.13, season 's best, but what did you make of that? Her
:42:20. > :42:22.semifinal was phenomenal at the World Championships. We expected her
:42:23. > :42:28.to go a lot quicker and win the title very easily indeed. There was
:42:29. > :42:32.lots of rumours she was sick. Between the semifinal and the final.
:42:33. > :42:38.Maybe that was the cause? What we have seen something more likely more
:42:39. > :42:45.like the Elaine Thomson we saw in London a week ago. Dina Asher-Smith,
:42:46. > :42:48.it's wonderful to see what is doing right now. She's enjoying her
:42:49. > :42:52.running. You appreciate how good you are when you have gone through a
:42:53. > :42:57.little bit of trauma and a little bit of trauma, it's a bit tongue in
:42:58. > :43:01.cheek in that sense because it was a hell of a season in preparation for
:43:02. > :43:06.her. She did a fantastic job to end up just shy of a medal in London. I
:43:07. > :43:13.don't think any of us expected that, Steve. No, that's pretty good.
:43:14. > :43:17.11.13. There's only five British women who have ever run quicker than
:43:18. > :43:25.that and that is just the heats, so she is through to the final. Let's
:43:26. > :43:32.just confirm it. Season best. Okagbare-Ighoteguonor, third spot.
:43:33. > :43:36.More racing to come. Well done. That time, she's not been doing a hundred
:43:37. > :43:42.this year. I'm really happy with that. A few bits in the race when I
:43:43. > :43:47.thought I could do that better but I'm very happy to have a chance
:43:48. > :43:50.later on. Tell me about coming back from a championships we've had
:43:51. > :43:53.success and performed so well individually and in the relay and
:43:54. > :43:56.now you got to do it for the home crowd. It's one of the more
:43:57. > :44:01.challenging things you got to do as an athlete. After you do so well,
:44:02. > :44:07.get a silver, I have to emotionally refocus. I'm really happy with what
:44:08. > :44:11.I've done already and I want to tune out and go on holiday but I'm super
:44:12. > :44:16.happy. I think I've got more than that in these legs and I would give
:44:17. > :44:22.it a go next time. Well done on that. Thank you so much. See you
:44:23. > :44:28.later. Back to this long jump across the far side. The poll build is
:44:29. > :44:37.going on. The long jump right in front. The home straight. Geoffrey
:44:38. > :44:40.Henderson in a second-round. The Olympic champion last year. Did not
:44:41. > :44:45.go to plan last week at the World Championships. It doesn't go plan
:44:46. > :44:52.here either because that is two fouls for Henderson. He seems to be
:44:53. > :44:56.limping slightly. I think your rightful suddenly seemed to
:44:57. > :45:02.decelerate and seemed quite cautious going to the sandpit. Heap has been
:45:03. > :45:09.a bit troubled all year. He did not qualify for the final. He went on as
:45:10. > :45:12.Olympic champion from last summer. And Henderson, his season going from
:45:13. > :45:18.bad to worse in Birmingham, shaking his head, he looks like he may be
:45:19. > :45:28.cocked. Holding a hamstring there. It's letting down.
:45:29. > :45:41.Here is his team-mate. He put together a really impressive series
:45:42. > :45:48.of jobs. Three in excess of 8.40. A silver medal on that occasion.
:45:49. > :45:53.Chasing a lead of 7.98, and that would take the lead. The first one
:45:54. > :45:57.beyond eight metres. Really steady on the runway, he did not
:45:58. > :46:06.accelerate, but he must be moving fast to generate that sort of force.
:46:07. > :46:11.A lovely board. Perfectly accurate. Sinks a little bit. There is a bit
:46:12. > :46:14.more to come and if he got his chest down common he could hold his feet
:46:15. > :46:25.up a little bit longer and get a bit further. We saw that a week ago. He
:46:26. > :46:36.takes the lead here. 8.19, a decent jump.
:46:37. > :46:45.With the mascot watching on, this is a new height of 4.61, and she gets
:46:46. > :46:52.it. A great start from Holly. It looked good from that angle. Just
:46:53. > :46:59.got to maintain her speed and run in at the bar. Clear first time, that
:47:00. > :47:08.is excellent. Let's have a look at this front on. Good plant. Good rock
:47:09. > :47:14.back. The World Championships just slipped away from her last week. She
:47:15. > :47:17.took sixth place, but it looks as though she is putting together a
:47:18. > :47:23.very tidy competition here in Birmingham. Here is an athlete who
:47:24. > :47:28.took the bronze medal a week ago, the first time ever a Venezuelan has
:47:29. > :47:44.meddled in the Championships. The same height.
:47:45. > :47:52.That is a first-time failure for her, but it is really going well for
:47:53. > :47:57.Holly. Just going for the bar a little early. She needs to go up the
:47:58. > :48:03.pole. She is reaching towards the bar early. You need to go up the
:48:04. > :48:12.pole as if you are going up a fireman's pole. The Venezuelan is
:48:13. > :48:18.just 19 years of age. Sandi Morris, the American, steps to the runway.
:48:19. > :48:22.25 years old, and much more experienced athlete. Second on the
:48:23. > :48:31.world list and a silver medal last week. It will be a season of second
:48:32. > :48:39.places unless she can get out towards something in excess of 4.84,
:48:40. > :48:49.to challenge Katerina Stefanidi who has dominated this summer.
:48:50. > :49:04.Two jams remaining. The second heat of the women's 200 metres, 100
:49:05. > :49:10.metres. Jura Levy was second in London, and there is Marie-Josee Ta
:49:11. > :49:18.Lou, silver in the 100 and 200 in the World Championships. Dafne
:49:19. > :49:20.Schippers, it all clicked in London. Bronze in the 100 and gold in the
:49:21. > :49:36.200, defending her title. Morolake Akinosun was just forth at
:49:37. > :49:43.the US trials and missed out on an individual place in London. And Asha
:49:44. > :49:50.Philip. One the UK title for a fourth time on this track in June.
:49:51. > :50:04.Part of the relay quartet. She was the lead out runner. Calvert Powell
:50:05. > :50:12.ran 10.94 in June, and we are supposed to seek Kaylin Whitney who
:50:13. > :50:19.is not getting an introduction! Here we are. She was billed as the next
:50:20. > :50:31.big thing. One the world junior title as a 16-year-old in 2014.
:50:32. > :50:35.Still only 19. She has had an unfulfilled talent as a senior. Some
:50:36. > :50:54.would say she is still a junior at 19.
:50:55. > :51:08.Three to go through automatically and two fastest losers. Dafne
:51:09. > :51:12.Schippers out slowly as usual. Dafne Schippers has a bit of ground to
:51:13. > :51:17.make up and she has had to work hard. She is run out of the
:51:18. > :51:31.automatic places. Marie-Josee Ta Lou is a revelation this year. 10.95,
:51:32. > :51:36.very impressive indeed. But Dafne Schippers was disappointing. She
:51:37. > :51:49.never got into her running. She may go through as one of the fastest
:51:50. > :52:03.losers. The automatic qualifiers are Marie-Josee Ta Lou, Morolake
:52:04. > :52:08.Akinosun and Levy Jura. A couple of women are running herewith tired
:52:09. > :52:13.legs. But Marie-Josee Ta Lou was great, out of the blocks really
:52:14. > :52:17.well. A total contrast and Daphne skippers was a long way behind after
:52:18. > :52:23.40 metres. She never had that pick-up. She never went into that
:52:24. > :52:33.overdrive stride that we have seen on many occasions. The wind is plus
:52:34. > :52:36.one, said that is a good sign. A little bit disappointing from Asha
:52:37. > :52:43.Philip and Desiree Henry. Down in sixth and eighth. But they will go
:52:44. > :52:48.through. There is the gap between Marie-Josee Ta Lou and the rest.
:52:49. > :52:57.Morolake Akinosun takes the third automatic qualifying place, but
:52:58. > :53:08.Dafne Schippers will go through. And Shaunae Miller will also go through.
:53:09. > :53:12.When you are about to run on the track for the last time in your
:53:13. > :53:19.career in your home country, you can get into the stadium any which way
:53:20. > :53:26.you like! That is an entry and a half. I would have probably insisted
:53:27. > :53:33.on driving it myself. Go for a spin around the track. That is a nice
:53:34. > :53:37.open topped Bentley for Mo Farah to get a fantastic reception as he
:53:38. > :53:42.waves to the crowd. His race is still a couple of hours away, but he
:53:43. > :53:46.is letting them know that he is here and he is ready to put on a show for
:53:47. > :53:54.the very last time in the UK on the track. I hope he has got some kind
:53:55. > :54:01.of safety harness otherwise he will not be in that race later on! No
:54:02. > :54:05.seat belts there. The crowd are absolutely loving it, enjoying the
:54:06. > :54:10.fact that Mo Farah is going to be here today competing in the last
:54:11. > :54:19.race, the 3000 metres, a little bit later on today. A four-time Olympic
:54:20. > :54:25.gold-medallist. That is at 4:45pm this afternoon. I think he is asking
:54:26. > :54:30.for the keys. Let's move on to the hammer. There is an interesting
:54:31. > :54:35.hammer competition taking place today. Three men, three women,
:54:36. > :54:39.competing in a challenge. Steve Backley has been telling us a bit
:54:40. > :54:44.more. It is a unique event. There is
:54:45. > :54:48.Sophie Hitchon and Nick Miller, the equivalent of Torvill and Dean. The
:54:49. > :54:56.mixed pairs partnership team in hammer throwing. Whoever has heard
:54:57. > :55:02.of that? Well, you have heard today. First up it was Sophie Hitchon to
:55:03. > :55:16.set the mark. The team scores will be added. It will be a cumulative
:55:17. > :55:21.score with Nick Miller. 68.86 to start. Enjoying herself. I think it
:55:22. > :55:30.is an iced innovation, a way of highlighting the hammer.
:55:31. > :55:40.That was the longest at the time, on the 70-metre line, beyond Sophie's
:55:41. > :55:43.throw. Sophie Hitchon was seventh last week at the World
:55:44. > :55:48.Championships, did not quite find her rhythm. Maybe the team event and
:55:49. > :55:55.the pressure of having a partner will spur her on to find that
:55:56. > :56:07.rhythm. This is the German, a left-hander. 27 years of age. Just
:56:08. > :56:13.inside the sector. Just beyond the 70-metre line. That was in round
:56:14. > :56:22.three. This is Nick Miller in round three. He just falls away from that
:56:23. > :56:26.a little bit unfortunately. He needs to get a block on the left-hand side
:56:27. > :56:32.and left it out. A good throw. They are enjoying it. It is good fun.
:56:33. > :56:45.That is valid to throw in the pressure of a partnership. Sophie
:56:46. > :56:56.Hitchon looking to improve on her first throw beyond 70 metres. And
:56:57. > :57:09.she does. The mixed hammer throwing is working well for the Brits. The
:57:10. > :57:13.three times world champion as a result of last week's victory. That
:57:14. > :57:31.was the furthest throw of the afternoon. 78.51 and a victory for
:57:32. > :57:36.Poland. Just shy of 80 metres. A good demonstration, Poland is so
:57:37. > :57:42.strong. You can see the athlete out for the
:57:43. > :57:48.next event which will be the mile. The MC Carmyle. Mo Farah was making
:57:49. > :58:00.a presentation to the Endsleigh car family.
:58:01. > :58:13.-- Emsley Carr. The Emsley Carr family. Katerina Stefanidi has not
:58:14. > :58:19.started yet. This is the first attempt this afternoon for the
:58:20. > :58:24.Olympic champion. Easily clear. She is an absolute gem of a jumper. She
:58:25. > :58:26.stood strong under the pressure of being favourite going into the World
:58:27. > :58:36.Championships and looks good again today. Yes, she looks really quick
:58:37. > :58:46.on the runway. That is a 14.5 foot pole that she tends to jump on.
:58:47. > :58:50.There she is with her coach. The opposite side of the stadium and the
:58:51. > :59:02.men's long jump. The current leader is Lawson. Oh, dear. Unable to
:59:03. > :59:07.improve on the first one that we saw, 8.19 in the third round. He is
:59:08. > :59:13.still the only man to have gone beyond eight metres so far. No Greg
:59:14. > :59:19.Rutherford. His ankle is bothering him and he was not able to attempt
:59:20. > :59:27.to defend his world title. Lawson took silver last week. The American
:59:28. > :59:38.is a real talent. He is still out in front.
:59:39. > :59:44.Good entertainment for the crowd on the home straight and they will be
:59:45. > :59:48.looking forward to this mile, one of the traditional defence of British
:59:49. > :59:54.athletics, the Emsley Carr mile. So many great names have won it over
:59:55. > :00:00.the years, except myself of course. Sebastian Coe, Steve Ovett, Asbel
:00:01. > :00:10.Kiprop and Kiplagat have won it a couple of times. Bernard Lagat.
:00:11. > :00:16.Chris O'Hare of Great Britain, you can see there. Just three in. The
:00:17. > :00:20.only one of these who made the final in the 1500 metres of the World
:00:21. > :00:27.Championships. I know Chris was very disappointed with his performance
:00:28. > :00:38.there. You'll see the tall figure of Jager in the shades. He won a medal.
:00:39. > :00:42.One of these traditional events, traditional distances as well. We
:00:43. > :00:50.had a throwback to the old days of walk versus run with Tom Clark. One
:00:51. > :00:56.of the most traditional of those are likely to see. Four laps and nine
:00:57. > :01:05.metres. Chris will hope to go out on a high year. Apart from Chris, we've
:01:06. > :01:09.also got Evan Jager. The medallist in the super Chase. I think you will
:01:10. > :01:15.have come away from the championships slightly disappointed.
:01:16. > :01:21.We will see Emma Cockburn later on. She won a medal in the women's
:01:22. > :01:28.event. After winning the Oslo Diamond League, the only made a
:01:29. > :01:34.semifinal, Wightman. He had a family bereavement which has not helped.
:01:35. > :01:40.Williams and Gregson, two very good Australians in this. Fitzgibbon, one
:01:41. > :01:50.of our very good runners. A finalist in the 800 metres here. Andre. I
:01:51. > :01:55.will be interested see how he goes. 1500 metre runner at very least.
:01:56. > :01:59.Jake has already made it through to the Diamond League final. You are
:02:00. > :02:06.here as referencing Diamond League, based on points this year. Eight out
:02:07. > :02:11.of 12 races. The 12 with the highest number of points qualify for the
:02:12. > :02:17.finals, so Jake has already done so. He will go to zero next week against
:02:18. > :02:24.all of the top guys, but Chris O'Hare or Wightman, let's say they
:02:25. > :02:30.can come up a British victory. That is Andrew Rotich who has been set to
:02:31. > :02:36.run the pace. Get the pace moving. He's gone quickly to the front. They
:02:37. > :02:43.have gone a bit more to get to that point than 200 metres. He's not far
:02:44. > :02:49.off that. It's interesting, the 800-metre man is in second place,
:02:50. > :02:54.Andre. Is going with a pace. Jager is up there. Chris O'Hare is further
:02:55. > :03:00.back. Wightman is further back as well. Is happy to sit at the back of
:03:01. > :03:10.the field. I think we will be getting the four 40 yard spreads but
:03:11. > :03:15.I can't see a sell there. They have decided not to go with this, so it's
:03:16. > :03:21.going to be a tactical race. Ahmed going through the picture there. He
:03:22. > :03:28.said the Canadian record in the 10,000 metres final. Andree is the
:03:29. > :03:36.one giving chase. Mohammed in the same training group as Jager who has
:03:37. > :03:41.settled into third in the race. He has a respectable time. For a
:03:42. > :03:44.steeplechaser, he has run 332, very quick time and he will be
:03:45. > :03:49.competitive in this race. He was a little bit disappointed to only come
:03:50. > :03:52.away with a bronze medal in the World Championships following on
:03:53. > :03:58.from his Olympic silver and the manner in which she had run so well
:03:59. > :04:03.in Monaco coming into that. Chris O'Hare also has some demons to put
:04:04. > :04:09.behind him. That final in London, he didn't look himself from the
:04:10. > :04:18.beginning. Andree has held them all up here. Huston has stopped back.
:04:19. > :04:22.The group are more close to two minutes through two laps, so this is
:04:23. > :04:28.very slow. Chris O'Hare is starting to move up. Jager says, if you want
:04:29. > :04:33.an 800-metre race, folks, I will happily take you on in that.
:04:34. > :04:42.Wightman a little bit closer. Fitzgibbon moving up on the outside.
:04:43. > :04:49.Dregs of Australia. -- Gregson. He tried to qualify for that millimetre
:04:50. > :04:52.final in fifth. It is Jager having the lead. Chris O'Hare in a perfect
:04:53. > :05:00.position to strike as they come round with 500 to go. It makes it
:05:01. > :05:05.dangerous between Robbie Andrews and Wightman as they came round the both
:05:06. > :05:11.of them seem OK and the pace is starting to pick up no. Jager makes
:05:12. > :05:15.a long run for home. Jager is not the quickest in the last 200 metres
:05:16. > :05:20.and he wants to stretch them out. He's doing a pretty good job at the
:05:21. > :05:26.moment. Wightman further back than he might want to be but Chris O'Hare
:05:27. > :05:34.is in the perfect spot. Ahmed, the distance man, is moving fast.
:05:35. > :05:42.Wightman getting closer. Harnett is moving with some speed. Now Jake
:05:43. > :05:49.Wightman starts move. Chris O'Hare leading. The two Brits are in front.
:05:50. > :05:56.It is Jake Wightman who did this in Oslo. It's a big strong kick. Chris
:05:57. > :06:01.O'Hare will have to come back outside. The two Brits will finish
:06:02. > :06:08.one and two. Who was going to win it? Wightman. Chris O'Hare can't
:06:09. > :06:11.quite get there. Wightman wins it! Chris O'Hare, second. A great race
:06:12. > :06:15.from the two British athletes in some compensation for both of them,
:06:16. > :06:21.Jake never made it to the final, beating his team-mates there in
:06:22. > :06:24.really effective style, as well. I was not sure he was close enough at
:06:25. > :06:30.the bell but he had the confidence. Chris O'Hare was waiting and waiting
:06:31. > :06:34.and when the strike came from Jake, he didn't have a response. He tried
:06:35. > :06:39.to come again. There was less than a tenth between them in the end.
:06:40. > :06:43.That's what we like to see, right at the front, two British. He joins a
:06:44. > :06:50.great list of people who have won this race. Yes, you've got to go
:06:51. > :06:53.back to 2005, Michael East, for the last British winner. Jake was fourth
:06:54. > :06:58.in this race last year so a big step up. Good to see them racing a
:06:59. > :07:01.doubtful stop Jake just launched his charge a little bit later than he
:07:02. > :07:06.did when he ran so well in the Diamond League back in Oslo in May.
:07:07. > :07:12.That he reacted really well and went a very, very hard around the bend
:07:13. > :07:17.and quickly it flew by. Chris O'Hare tried to react and move wide but he
:07:18. > :07:23.couldn't get back on terms with Jake Wightman who judged it pretty much
:07:24. > :07:30.to perfection. 354.92. The final time. If they had gone with the pace
:07:31. > :07:40.a bit earlier I think both of the guys will run personal bests today.
:07:41. > :07:44.He held onto third there. He was way behind fourth of the real race is
:07:45. > :07:49.going on between the two British guys of the front. Jake celebrating
:07:50. > :07:57.that victory. Well that was good to see. The book Mo Faro made the
:07:58. > :08:03.presentation with when he came into the stadium. Jake Wightman,
:08:04. > :08:11.left-handed, as well. He follows a great line of left-handed runners.
:08:12. > :08:19.And a marathon runners. Well done, Jake.
:08:20. > :08:24.Chris O'Hare is alongside me. You put your body through something in
:08:25. > :08:28.the last couple of weeks in the World Championships. To come out and
:08:29. > :08:34.perform like that says a lot about you, Chris. Yes, I've been really
:08:35. > :08:39.tired this weekend. It's hard to rebound from the disappointment of
:08:40. > :08:44.the World Championships. It's hard not to let things run through your
:08:45. > :08:50.mind, what happened, it's so tough, but I wanted to come here and try my
:08:51. > :08:57.best. Everybody's put so much in it for me. I'm glad it's a British
:08:58. > :09:03.winner. A British 1-2, that's great. You're taking it to another level,
:09:04. > :09:13.congratulations. Your with such legends like Sebastian Coates and
:09:14. > :09:20.Steve Cram. Yes, I want to make the most of this. To join at a lustrous
:09:21. > :09:24.crowd, what does it mean to you? Everybody wants to be signing it
:09:25. > :09:27.afterwards and to have the top two, something which has not happened in
:09:28. > :09:31.a while, if there was going to be one British winner today, Chris, I
:09:32. > :09:35.saw him coming and I thought it was getting there. It's not bad. Well
:09:36. > :09:44.done to you both and thank you for talking to us. Next up is the men's
:09:45. > :09:48.242 200 metres and that Mander, Richard Whitehead, a four-time world
:09:49. > :09:54.champion, now 41 years old, will be lining up, phenomenal career. His
:09:55. > :09:59.longevity, here he was winning the gold in London a few weeks ago in
:10:00. > :10:05.front of a home crowd one more time of course, 2012 as well. He's a real
:10:06. > :10:12.showman and loves to compete in front of a home crowd 's. He's given
:10:13. > :10:18.so much to Paralympic sport. He's a showman, a wonderful sportsperson. A
:10:19. > :10:23.great person. I adore him. I have a lot of respect for him and what he
:10:24. > :10:26.has achieved. It's just incredible. How you go from marathons to
:10:27. > :10:32.sprinting is beyond me but he seems to do it very successfully.
:10:33. > :10:38.Marathons to sprinting and let's not forget his appearance in Splash as
:10:39. > :10:47.well. He's a daredevil extraordinaire. Words on the outside
:10:48. > :10:59.of the United States. This is the challenger to Richard Whitehead
:11:00. > :11:03.perhaps. He has given it to the races, Ntando Mahlangu. 36 wrote on
:11:04. > :11:08.the outside. By Richard Whitehead is planning to go on to Tokyo. A
:11:09. > :11:17.gold-medallist at the last four World Championships. And a
:11:18. > :11:23.15-year-old from the Netherlands, Joel De Jong had left leg amputated
:11:24. > :11:31.due to cancer. The rest are double amputees. All these classes, they
:11:32. > :11:37.are above the knee amputees resulting in a similar movement
:11:38. > :11:42.pattern but Richard Whitehead and Ntando Mahlangu outside him, gold
:11:43. > :11:47.and silver in London will Championships. For all these
:11:48. > :11:51.athletes, the start is the difficulty. Once they get going,
:11:52. > :12:00.Richard Whitehead has an amazing speed. He's out in lane for. His
:12:01. > :12:07.only real Challenger Ntando Mahlangu sometimes can't get used to his
:12:08. > :12:12.blades. He's got a wide style. He's living with Richard Whitehead at the
:12:13. > :12:17.moment. Look at Ntando Mahlangu to go. Is going to win this. He's
:12:18. > :12:25.coming away from Richard Whitehead. The time is 23.16. A big personal
:12:26. > :12:28.best. Ntando Mahlangu. He has a real challenger in the South African
:12:29. > :12:33.youngster, Richard Whitehead. He beat him in the World Championships,
:12:34. > :12:37.Whitehead, victorious there but Ntando Mahlangu is the future of
:12:38. > :12:40.this event. A big win over Richard Whitehead there with a personal
:12:41. > :12:44.best. We are so used to seeing Richard Whitehead win. When he gets
:12:45. > :12:47.into his running down the home straight, he just flies past people
:12:48. > :12:53.but Ntando Mahlangu of their was good enough to just move away from
:12:54. > :13:00.Richard Whitehead. Very impressive from Ntando Mahlangu. When you see
:13:01. > :13:04.what the winning time was, 23.16, you understand how fast that was. It
:13:05. > :13:08.was going to be a tough order for Richard to gain too much ground on
:13:09. > :13:14.him because the young South African really ran a nice balanced race.
:13:15. > :13:16.Ntando Mahlangu fell in the 100 in the World Championships and
:13:17. > :13:20.actually, sometimes his cadence of movement, he can't quite control the
:13:21. > :13:25.blades but one she harnesses it, you can see what he can do and Richard
:13:26. > :13:30.Whitehead was not running a bad time. His personal best of 23.01. He
:13:31. > :13:35.was not too far away from that. That is a big gap and a great win for
:13:36. > :13:39.Ntando Mahlangu. The young man must be so excited because Richard is so
:13:40. > :13:45.iconic in this event. So, for him, it's a big victory. Once he gets
:13:46. > :13:50.older and mature than get stronger, he may be the person we see going to
:13:51. > :13:57.the 23 second mark. Richard Whitehead is going on to Tokyo.
:13:58. > :14:01.Let's have a look at the results. A big personal best from Ntando
:14:02. > :14:09.Mahlangu. Both of those men are talking to fill now. A personal
:14:10. > :14:13.best, Richard. What it'd like to be part of this occasion Festival? It's
:14:14. > :14:17.great to have an opportunity to race in such a great stadium in the
:14:18. > :14:22.Diamond League. I've been here a couple of times before. To be asked
:14:23. > :14:29.again, and be supporting Ntando Mahlangu, a future success, that's
:14:30. > :14:31.what it's all about, legacy. Two-time Paralympic gold-medallist,
:14:32. > :14:37.it's about supporting, nurturing in helping the next-generation. And
:14:38. > :14:40.obviously, the sport we are getting today is all about laying down the
:14:41. > :14:51.platform for para athletics and that's what's important. I'm just
:14:52. > :14:57.hearing, unfortunately, you got the cute coming alongside your name. The
:14:58. > :15:02.on the results, I suppose it's an irrelevance for you today. -- DQ.
:15:03. > :15:08.Something to do the lane infringement. That's what it's all
:15:09. > :15:11.about, really. My point of view is it's about standing in front of this
:15:12. > :15:18.crowd and showing the support that they are giving, it's worthwhile,
:15:19. > :15:21.and whether you get a DQ or a personal best, it's irrelevant. My
:15:22. > :15:26.season was finished five weeks ago so all I have been doing is eating
:15:27. > :15:31.lots of chocolate and having pizza and Indians and I went to my mate's
:15:32. > :15:35.wedding last week so congratulations, mate. I never
:15:36. > :15:39.thought you would get married. Well done. Congratulations on all of your
:15:40. > :15:41.achievement and everything going forward. Thank you for your support.
:15:42. > :15:51.It's been great and hopefully we can support the next generation as well.
:15:52. > :15:57.Congratulations, a massive personal best. Tell us about the whole day.
:15:58. > :16:02.It is a great day, a great experience. To get a PB, a great
:16:03. > :16:10.time, I have never gone down that far. Quite a big race for the crowd
:16:11. > :16:14.and everyone here today. Thanks to the competitors, without them I
:16:15. > :16:21.would not be here. Thank you to Richard Whitehead. He is a star and
:16:22. > :16:27.for the first time I saw him today. I could not ask for more. It went
:16:28. > :16:29.well. Richard said it is all about the next generation.
:16:30. > :16:38.Congratulations, keep it going. Thank you. We are in the fifth round
:16:39. > :16:52.of the long jump. Dan Bramble is on the runway. That looks better. He
:16:53. > :17:02.has had an OK summer. European team champion. Two centimetres shy of the
:17:03. > :17:09.plasticine. Just leans back a little bit and rotates forwards. He just
:17:10. > :17:15.rotates forwards and lands early. You can see him coming from a
:17:16. > :17:19.premature landing. It is an lucky. He needed 8.15 to go to the World
:17:20. > :17:29.Championships. Just having a chat with his coach. Now we turn our
:17:30. > :17:35.attention to the South African. Has had an enormous season. Started
:17:36. > :17:40.jumping in February. He really has moved on this year. A bronze medal
:17:41. > :17:48.in the World Championships. Just chopped that slightly. That might be
:17:49. > :17:54.the second jump beyond eight metres here. The wind is a little bit
:17:55. > :17:59.difficult for them out there. Because of the nature of the stand,
:18:00. > :18:03.the wind whips around the stand. You can start with a tail wind, but
:18:04. > :18:07.halfway down you can feel the wind in your face. He drops his feet in a
:18:08. > :18:13.bit early. He could have held them up a bit longer. But he keeps
:18:14. > :18:30.himself up right before going in for his landing. Two men over eight
:18:31. > :18:32.metres. He is second behind Lawson. We are in the last round of the long
:18:33. > :18:49.jump competition. Mike Hartfield, 7.78 in the last
:18:50. > :18:55.round. I think he has extended that. No World Championships for him.
:18:56. > :19:14.Maybe he is the freshest of all the jumpers. He is just one centimetre
:19:15. > :19:22.behind Samaai. He will have to settle for third on this occasion.
:19:23. > :19:28.There is the winner. 8.19 in the third round, the best of the
:19:29. > :19:33.afternoon. Thank you very much, Steve. We are
:19:34. > :19:34.finishing on BBC Two and going over to
