Day 10, Part 2 Athletics: World Championships

Michael Johnson was starring to another gold medal. That is history

in the making. Jessica Ennis-Hill is back on top of the world. New world

record. Champion of the world. Great Britain, they've just seen the

silver medal. They will be inspired. They know they've got a chance.

Stood like a colossus over the sport for so long. Now in the final

moment, he's close. It's all or nothing. We've never won the world

title. Good start. Has taken some ground. Great Britain are leading.

Adam Gemili is running brilliantly down the back straight. Britain are

still leaving this! He's going to be chased. Away he goes! It's going to

be tight! New British record! Great Britain have the gold medal!

That was phenomenal. Everyone is great and that was amazing. This was

a perfect race. Are gold-medallists of the night. Here are the new world

champions. We work so hard, the guys behind the scene, it is great to do

it in London, our hometown. It is amazing. The emotion and the

euphoria. Trying to register that we are actually world champions. What a

moment that was, on a night of the highest drama. They entered British

sporting folklore. This World Championship has been full of

surprises. Usain Bolt rode out from his career with cramp in his left

hamstring, pulling up and unable to finish. That was not the ending we

wanted to see. The Hollywood ending does not always happen. It didn't

happen for a Mo Farah but what a fight he put up. Mo Farah, who has

had an amazing career, still has two races to run before he retires. The

tenth and final day, and the fans come out in force. Wonderful to see

so many packing it out. London, the UK, the athletes, the organisers

deliver the best of the biggest World Championships in 34 years.

700,000 people have come to the stadium for these championships.

Athletics has a massive opportunity to build on this. We have a chance

to reflect on this because the action doesn't get going for another

35 minutes or so. They will be inspired by last night, by a proper

bit of British summer. It felt like summer had arrived. Colin has joined

us in the studio. Delighted to see you. Last night, did it feel like

there was a sea change? The baton was metaphorically passed. It was

interesting. I was obviously there with Ore before and getting a feel

for what was going on and it was one of the occasions for the first time

where I felt there was this bond with the team. As the team was

leaving they were applauding each other. Everybody was really

applauding the teams to go out and wish them well knew the result from

Mo Farah and they were a little bit disappointed but they didn't think

it could affect them. It encouraged them to go out and say, let's do it.

It was just fantastic to see how they responded to that added

pressure of the gold medal not being delivered by the hero, so I was so

excited to see what happened. The way the women and the men performed,

under huge pressure, it was really good to see. It was loaded with so

many elements. The farewell, the denouement, the final chapter of two

Legends of the sport. Within that cold front of emotion and

anticipation they were able to keep it together. Perfect. A lot of

things happened last night that were fantastic and some great moments,

and to be completely honest that is not the way Usain Bolt would have

scripted his finish. We shouldn't ignore that fact, it is not how he

would have wanted to finish and not what anybody wanted to see. We'd

never seen him in that way. He's a giant the sport. Really unfortunate

that his career will end with that being the last race. Great Britain

winning that really, they've been amazing all week. That was a

fantastic reward. They came to see something, something special from

Usain Bolt and Mo Farah, but they will trade that any night because it

was amazing. The women winning a silver medal as well, it was a great

night, it was a special night. It was a very special night. That

feeling that the younger generation, the future of athletics, it feels

like it is in safe hands after last night. It is in safe hands. It is

progressing. Even though there was disappointment, we know that he is

etched into the history books for all time. But this is about another

chapter. We are in the richest vein of sprinting talent that we've ever

had in the country. These are the best of the best that they are only

getting better. They are young. We had the most successful European

junior. But they can transition to this stage. For me, I don't want the

legacy to be that narrative. These have been very successful and the

next generation has demonstrated what they can do. We will talk about

the legacy and the legend of those two retiring. It started early with

the 50-kilometre and 20-kilometre walks. Tom was worth as been a real

favourite and had absolute heartbreak when he was disqualified

for his third red card which is a disqualification. That is usually

for a lifting the feet off the floor. That's what he got his

fourth. He was heartbroken. The Colombian winner of the race. Tom

was worth really felt he had a chance of breaking through to the

medals and he was absolutely heartbroken. This is the beginning.

These bad days make the good days really good. The support I've had

and my family and everyone who's come here today, I'm sorry I let

them down but I know that I can get a medal one day. I'm not going to be

complacent, I can work hard on that technique and I can come out and

show what I can really do. We saw him get that record at the

anniversary games. We were all saying, this could become a regular

fixture. I think he felt he was going to use the crowd today. He

will be devastated. That is the word. Devastated. He knows that he's

in good shape. He's been training to get his endurance factor up. We

marvelled at watching him in the Diamond League because most people

in the audience could relate to how fast he was walking. Faster than

most of us can run. Many times they don't see that at close quarters. He

was devastated but I hope he takes heart and spirit from it. He's still

got the Europeans, the Commonwealth. He still got the fraternity. For me,

he's got lots of time. Thank you very much. The next medal ceremony

is the relay. Glorious silver in that race.

A good run so far. A couple of lanes outside. Just stretching, what a

stretch. Given on Henry. They are in a position to challenge for a medal!

Giving it to Forbes, it is Jamaica and the United States, but Neita is

there and the champion is USA, Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Jamaica.

Silver medal There they are, silver-medallists.

That's what you like to see. Progress. Moving up the podium.

Great performance against difficult opposition. It was stunning. It is

about their attitudes. The bronze medal gave them a lot of confidence.

I've talked about the training camps. You've got to do it when it

matters and they've managed that. It is a great squad. Fantastic work.

Andrew Carter, over to you. Jamaica, who won the last two whelp idols.

It was bronze in Rio de Janiero and silver here in London. This talented

quartet. Great work. But you think of dee-10-mac, unsure if she would

be competing, broke her foot in February. Young quartet as well.

Asha Philip a little bit older. I hope she will forgive me. The

champions, the Americans. What a Championships it has been for the

United States. Suddenly I call Rush -- gold rush. Arianna Washington

gets a medal as well. She ran in the heats. A second is having taken gold

in the 100. Could have run in the 200, Tori Bowie. It was such an

effort in the 100, she took a bit of a knock. Going into the relay squad

of the eye. Take the gold again in this event. The advent of the United

States. Nine goals for the United States at

these championships, the same three as it was in Rio, slightly different

order, Jamaica with the bronze, silver for Great Britain and

Northern Ireland. STUDIO: Wonderful scenes, and I am

sure they have hardly slept a wink between them, so excited last night

with their silver, and then of course just 15 or 20 minutes later,

the men came out, and they have really set the atmosphere inside the

stadium Allied, the men came out to the most inspiring atmosphere, and

they must have been inspired by what they have seen, so only right that

the women looked on, and this is the alternative view of the men's 4x100m

relay. Safely away, CJ has already taken

some ground out of China, good start for the USA, but Great Britain are

leading it, Adam Gemili has got the baton, he is running brilliantly

down the back straight, he will give it to Danny Talbot, Great Britain

still leading this! And now Yohan Blake has got the baton, but it is

Great Britain out in front, he is going to be chased by the great man,

Mitchell-Blake, away he goes, the USA are chasing, Usain Bolt is

chasing, Mitchell-Blake is trying to hang on, it is going to be tied, it

is going to be gold! A new British record!

Great Britain have won the gold medal, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake!

That was phenomenal! STUDIO: What is so beautiful is to

see the women watching in a way that shows the fantastic team spirit, so

excited for the men, we bumped into Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake on our way

up to the studio, and he actually said, I can't quite construct the

right sentence to describe my experience, my emotion, how I am

feeling right now. Yeah, he was very excited, and his celebration was

just amazing, showing all of the elation, but interesting to see the

girls, all trying to run for the dice, that was great to see. A

standing ovation from the crowd inside here, and it is packed, the

first athletics events does not start for 20 minutes, but they knew

that the ceremonies were happening, and they made sure they got here to

witness this and hear a surprise anthem, let's say, a bonus and

thumb, a brilliant opportunity that they took with both hands.

Yes, it is just what we needed. And there is a squad. Yes, numerous

people in the squad, and they enjoy working as a squad, and they will

genuinely feel that they are sharing this medal, not keeping it in

isolation. Japan, who got the bronze, their studio sits by hours,

and they were very excited last night with their performance. But we

were very excited about the man that crossed the line first, shamelessly

proud of Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake and his quartet. Steve Cram. Well,

the Japanese contingent running brilliantly well, they did not have

their new star, if you like, the teenager who performed so well

individually, did not need him, it is a team effort, as our guys get

ready for their moment. The USA, Mike Rodgers, Justin Gatling,

Coleman, they brought in Bacon on the top bend. I am going to resist

saying that he got fried by Danny Talbot! But certainly did not help

their case. They ran very well, and if you had said to them, you can run

37.5 in the final, they might have taken that, thought it might have

been good enough. But not on this occasion. There is going to be a

massive cheer just before they set it up, because as I said last night,

ten times before this World Championships, five times we have

not got the baton around or have been disqualified. The other five

times we have won a medal, but never the gold at the World Championships.

That all changed in 37 seconds last night.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Adam Gemili, Danny Talbot... Those

who were here will never forget it, it was a bit like 2012 all over

again, if anything may be louder. Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, just

managing to hold off Coleman. It has been a long year for him as well.

Danny Talbot, who has been in such good form, personal best in the

200m, great and the band. Adam Gemili patient enough, not in the

individual event, but great in the morning, even better last night,

going away from Gatland, and what they start given to them by CJ Ujah

out of the blocks, got them in the lead, and they were never headed.

Close in the end, one of the great races. Gold for Great Britain! The

national anthem of Great Britain. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

A spine tingling moment last night, and I think a proud, proud few

minutes for these guys. They will remember this for the rest

of their lives, whatever happens next, but they are not going

anywhere, this is a young quartet that could be around for a good few

years to come. Watch out, USA! Watch out, Jamaica, Great Britain at the

moment are the best in the world. STUDIO: What a wonderful atmosphere

in here this evening, and that sense of, you know, this crowd have been

coming to see great performances, and it doesn't matter that they

haven't seen loads of British medals, they have cheered everybody,

but there was last night that extra sense, wasn't there, of delight in

the crowd? This is what many of the athletes have enjoyed, that the

British crowd are knowledgeable, and they are happy to support virtually

every nation that comes along. As soon as you get to the final, they

are uploading, and when you get a gold medal like this from our boys,

it is an added bonus, and it re-engages the audience again to

really feel like they are enjoying their athletics. It has just been a

huge positive result for world athletics, the way the British crowd

has turned out. It has happened so seldom over the years, as I said,

all the great sprinters we have had, to beat the Americans, thes face it,

beat the Jamaicans, albeit through injury, this is a massive

achievement, and every single person in the stadium can appreciate that,

and watching at home, it was just a big deal. OK, well I think what we

need to do is a little bit of considered analysis at this point,

we didn't get over to your touch-screen, and it is the very

last evening of the touch-screen, are you taking it back to the

States? I am! Excess baggage! What I wanted to see here is to take a look

at where did Great Britain win this? The US was always going to be the

leader in this, in the main contender here. Let's look at this,

you have got the US and Great Britain about the same time, about

even write there. If we keep going down the back, Adam Gemili really

ran what looked like a screaming back stretch there, so let's see

where they touch off first, handing off to Danny Talbot right there. The

US about the same time, so we are still about even, so at this point

what is happening is Great Britain is matching the US input speed, and

both are getting very good handoffs. Danny Brough dot Mike Tolbert coming

to Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, so again, just about even. -- Danny

Talbot coming to Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake. This is where things

change, on the anchor leg, and they are about even here at this point.

Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, just a little bit of a lead, just barely.

Bolt is being caught early in the zone, because they want him to run

longer to catch these guys. At this point, Christian Coleman and

Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, just about even write here, so still at this

point there is really no difference. But the difference comes here, look

at Christian Coleman, he starts to lean a little bit too soon,

Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, he continues to hold his form and take

it through to the finish line, and that is what really want him the

race. And Coleman got the brilliant silver in the individual 100m, and

when we bumped into Mitchell-Blake, he said, I have had a long season

too! He has been running in the same conference as him, so really

impressive championships, with fourth as well. Yes, both of those

guys are bad long collegiate seasons, they have ran against each

other quite a bit, but I think the point is, one, Great Britain matched

the US, in terms of leg speed, and had crisp and office, but also at

the end, the second point is that Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake outlasted

Christian Coleman and was able to bring that thing home and a victory.

Very good work, and just another quick one, Michael, was the noise

there, was it a surprise for the Americans to be beaten? I don't

think they go into any of these championships thinking they are

going to win, they think they are going to have tough competition

against the Jamaicans, they know they have a history of not getting

the baton around, they do not take the relay for granted at all, so I

do not think that would have been a big shock to them. They are doing

well in the medal table, and they wouldn't want to give it away, they

will want to get it right next time. We are going to have a look at that

medal table right now, looking much healthier from a British perspective

after last night's two silvers and a gold. Of course, United States at

the outstanding leader, 27 medals. Great Britain have moved up to sixth

equal with Ethiopic, four medals in total, one more than Michael

predicted. Is it one less than Colin predicted? Two! And many did you

predict? One gold, you said, Colin. We will check all of our prediction

is a little bit later, but it is looking a lot healthier. We have

another fantastic evening of action tonight, we are going to be looking

back, of course, add what has gone on in the last ten days, but still

plenty of medals to come. Here is what is coming up. London 2012

bronze-medallist Robbie Grabarz has lofty ambitions in the men's high

jump. In-form Barshim is a strong favourite to take his first global

gold in that final. Scottish duo Laura Muir and a Liz McColgan will

attempt to climb the podium in a competitive conclusion to the 5000m.

Kenya have not been there all conquering cells, but Hellen Obiri

could take the title ahead of the Brits. Can Lynsey Sharp take a first

world medal? She faces double Olympic gold-medallist Caster

Semenya, who looks a runaway favourite to win a third world

title. The reigning national 1500m champion,, Timothy Jerry Weir

outpaces compatriots to make a mark on the global stage? The 4x4 and --

4x4 and metres women will try to match the men. Can anyone stop the

all conquering Americans taking a seventh consecutive world title?

We kick things off with the men's high jump final. Then there is the

women's discus final. Eilish McColgan and Laura Muir will battle

in the 5000 metres. Then the 800 metres final, Caster Semenya is

favourite for another call. Great Britain will attempt a fourth

successive podium finish in the relay. The curtain comes down with

the men's four times 400 metres relay final. Amongst all that we are

switching from BBC Two to BBC One. One of the great characters has been

this guy, and on his last night he made a stunning entrance into the

stadium. It is totally about his pay grade. The danger involved. He seems

to be enjoying himself and the crowd seemed to love him.

I don't think he needs to be praised. He love this stuff. Whisper

it quietly but he might be coming up to the studio later. We will see. We

would like Usain Bolt but if he comes up that is a different matter.

We don't have a cushion for him just now. Let's get out there. It is the

high jump final first. The high jumpers are out.

Real optimism about Robbie Grabarz. He qualified really nicely. Two

metres 31 he got on the first attempt. He needs to control his

speed. This is crucial. He's smooth through the curve. He could get more

of an arch when he goes over the bar. He may need that to get in

amongst the medals. Robbie is about to start. He will

feel his way into the final. First up I mentioned this young man,

second on the world's list. Very comfortable. The athletes looking to

get the run-up early. The key is to not carry any failures. That is what

cost Robbie Grabarz. He was fourth. Olympic medallists. Barshim, the

world leader, he looked a class apart in qualification and under

pressure. He's expected to take the title. Massive clearance. About as

impressive as you get. Just going to have a little look at him in

qualifying. Talk us through what he cleared in qualifying. I will. Good

evening. Basically, his speed is critical. Look at his knee. When you

plan the foot, then you will bend. He comes out of it so quickly, and

then his arch over the bar is incredible. So he turns around the

bar like a wheel. This is the athlete with the best pop in the

competition. This is a statement. Never taking the global title.

Looking really good and is going to be a handful. Can stay with him at

the early heights. Robbie is capable of 2.3 seven. Watching on with Scott

Simpson. His first jump coaches. We'll really hope for a clean sheet

in these early heights. It's all about not having the failure. That

can push you down the leaderboard. Robbie Grabarz to start his

campaign, he said he felt fantastic in qualifying. Good start. That'll

settle them down. I think so. That is what we want. Another athlete

that could have contended from medals. All helps him. He cleared

the first attempt. Walked back and gives us a smile. That's what you

want. Confident athlete. Just a little settler and he can move into

this as we turn our attention to Ghazal, the Syrian record-holder.

232 was his record best. A lot of athletes capable of getting in

amongst it. Robbie Grabarz came ninth last year to give you an idea

of the number of athletes he will need to cope with. Just being

introduced to start their final. The high jump is under way. Also goes

clear. He's happy with that. Steve mentioned Robbie Grabarz looking to

run a smooth curve. A little bit straight and that's why he travels.

You are unable to convert it so you rotate on the floor. The last man to

complete the opening height attempt, then it will be raised to 2.2 five.

Then it will be 2.3 two. Then 2.3 five. Then beyond. First jump for

him. Clearance. Nice spring. The Ukrainian Bondarenko choosing to

pass this heights. That runs off the first somersault birth. All the

athletes have no Harrier Jump. Bondarenko starting really well.

Last night, Mo Farah ended his track career with a silver. It has been a

golden career, but a silver lining. Just say good evening to you as

well. Sorry. Of course, Mo Farah has been totally dominant. Last night,

ended with a silver, incredible race, incredible performance, but he

spoke to the press and said he had problems with certain sections and

the way that he's been treated. History does not lie. What I

achieved is through hard work and dedication and year after year, I

find it bizarre that certain people right certain things to settle how

they want the story to be. The fact that what it is. And you know I have

achieved this through hard work and sometimes you guys get to me because

you never write the fact, over the years I have achieved through my

hard work and pain. If there was something that crossed the line, my

first interview is like a broken record. Why would it keep getting

brought up? It is like, I've achieved what I've achieved and

you're trying to destroy it, it's like, OK. I don't think it's what

anybody was expecting from Mo Farah. There is a story in the mirror that

he is changing his name back to Muhammad. I don't know whether he

would have behaved reacted differently had he won the race and

whether it was a feeling to get some things of his chest? Was there a

sentiment that had been building up inside him? It had been building for

a long time. I think those accusations were made that he made

decisions in how he answered those, he made the decision to not speak to

the press which antagonised them. There were frustrations and he

struggled to express what he's trying to say, they were disputing

what he said, he says, if you don't have proof, don't make those

accusations, and I guess it's kind of valid in everything. You cannot

make accusations without having the proof to back it up. It needs to be

there. I wonder if he'd had that conversation and then it would be

gone. The silence, not talking to the press, it built up and people

fill a vacuum with stuff. I know, but the athlete needs to protect his

and herself. They are fragile on the track but you need to protect

yourself to do your job. It's very hard. When you are discredited by

the media for allegations that frustration builds up and you create

a bigger amount of armour around user you don't get penetrated and he

needs to stay focused. When he pulled out of the Diamond League,

everybody reacted so badly to that. He wanted to give himself a buffer

and say, listen, leave me alone, I've got a tough task and I need to

stay in my lane and in my zone. Were you surprised that he came out the

morning after winning silver and had that dialogue? A little bit

surprised. I agree with both Paul and Denise, -- Paula and Denise, you

need to be focused on what you're doing, and he admitted, got

frustrated. I think he did the right thing by staying away. What he needs

to realise, and I can understand why he would be frustrated, there's no

of anything yet while the investigation into Salazar

continues. He said, until you find something, don't accuse me. What he

needs to understand is with the sport being as it is right now, with

all the things that have happened, it is not enough any more to say

that you have never touched positive. He needs to understand

that the media will take that and say, you may be getting away with

something. He needs to say, investigator, but don't accuse me.

That's when I draw the line. That's what he needs to understand. He's

got frustrated and it came out today and it probably wasn't the best time

for him to discuss that and to address that in the way that he did.

That will overshadow his last race here and his last performance here.

The vulnerability and the emotion that he showed today is clearly

something that has been carrying around and not enjoyed. He wants,

you saw him last night, even with his silver he went round and gave

himself to anybody who wanted him in that crowd. Being with people and

the joy that he's given people. It is what has fuelled him. That side

of his life has been a cause of great frustration.

Yeah, he is not naturally at ease talking to the media, and that

started this off, and Michael is right, he has not answered the

questions, and with everything that our sport has gone through, we have

to be open about that, we have to talk about things, and we have to

answer the questions. Otherwise, it builds up, and the media also came

to a crescendo, I think, and they were being pushed to ask these

questions, pushing themselves. He was tired, he was frustrated, and

maybe he hadn't slept much last night, and I don't think it could

have been avoided, because when you win silver, finishing your career,

he had to do that press conference, they were always going to ask those

questions, but something could have been done in the build-up so that

the access to him could have been done in a way that wouldn't have

trod all that energy away, but it is very difficult to do that, because

Denise is right, it is difficult to be defending himself all the time.

Brendan has described him as a ruthless winning machine, ten global

golds, an incredible athlete who has achieved so much in the last six or

seven years, given so much joy to so many people, and for that we are all

very grateful. He is boxed, he has got no room, Mo

Farah fights for the silver. The greatest champions, one day it comes

to an end. The chapter is closed. It has been incredible, from everywhere

around the world, I want to thank everyone who has supported me.

# Thank you for the days # Those endless days, those sacred

days you gave me... # What a performance from Mo Farah!

# I won't forget a single day, believe me

# Days I'll remember all my life # Days when you can't see wrong from

right # You took my love

# But then I knew that fairly soon you'd leave me... #

It's cold! -- gold! The double Olympic champion! My words cannot do

justice to how I feel. # Thank you for the days

# Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me

# I'm thinking of the days... # This is world domination for Farah!

He is sprinting for gold, he is running for greatness!

Mo Farah is the world champion again!

They succumb to the inevitable, bow to his superiority! The

double-double! In front of his home crowd, the city

he knows so well, the city that he loves.

He is a one-man world superpower, it is gold for Farah! Incredible!

He has just been incredible, he has given us so many great days, and we

said it in Moscow, during Beijing, and we said it in Rio, you never

want to take him for granted, because he made winning look like a

habit, and it became a habit, and we have been thinking a lot about him

over the last 12 hours or so, last night highlighted that this is not

anything that is just given to you, these are ruthless athletes who have

all been trying to take his crown, topple him for six years, and it

took three of them last night with a concerted effort, and they finally

worked out a way to get him. It took them a long time, as you say, he is

a master tactician, whatever Al is you can say about Mo Farah, you can

throw everything at him, he gets it right when he needs to, and nine

times out of ten, he puts self in the right situation, and he has even

been able to get out of those times when he puts himself in the wrong

situation. Last night he knew he was boxed, but he kept on fighting, he

didn't just throw it away, just run in, he kept running to the end of

the line to see if he was going to be able to get there. He wasn't, and

he made a tactical error, but he was so tired coming into and, as you

said, and they probably knew what they needed to do but they weren't

able to do it. Last night, the plan came together, helped a little bit

by the fact that he was tired. He is going to be rested, because this

time next week we will be in Birmingham for the Diamond League,

there will be plenty of world champions there, Mo Farah will be

running on the track for the last time in the UK. In a short period of

time, a lot of women will be out on that track looking to win medals in

the 5000m, and it is going to be hotly contested, a race that Laura

Muir will be, for the first time in a major championships, navigating

their way through the field, and an familiar distance for her. We see

her more regularly over 1500m, but she will have to have the challenge

of Hellen Obiri of Kenya, amongst others, who has beaten heard this

season on the track, Hassan of the Netherlands, who she came up against

in the 1500m, and Eilish McColgan, who you previously saw running the

steeplechase, but she has had a very successful, focused, injury free

year and got into this 5000m final with a great run in the semifinals.

If you are a fan of athletics for a long time, you will remember 1981,

when her mum won a gold medal in the 10,000m.

# Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air

# I know I can count on you... # Now McColgan starts to break it

up..., is this going to be the break that means the world title and the

gold medal? Now she has done the job and just has to hang in. Any worries

about the tactics employed have disappeared, this crowd of over

50,000 realising now they are watching a very special run. Liz

McColgan, 27. A mother in the last few months, her daughter Eilish not

here with, but this has been a display of confidence, judgment,

self belief, and this is Britain's first world champion of these 1991

Games. For me, David, that was the greatest run in the history of

British distance running. The Commonwealth champion in 1986, in

Auckland in 1990, Olympic medallist in Seoul, and now the champion of

the world. And Liz is alongside me, what are

your overriding memories of that crowning moment in 1981? You said, I

can't be anything about it! Surely in the last few seconds you have got

some wonderful emotions and memories about that. Or Lyra member about the

race, it was so intense, I was so focused on what I was doing, but I

did a lot of hard work going into it. -- all I remember. On the night,

just the jubilation takes over, and you tend to have a memory laps, I am

doing 25 laps, I should remember some of it, but when the Ethiopian

due will try to go in front of me, I remember saying to myself, no, you

are not doing it, I know I won, I know my feet were burning, I

couldn't wait to get my spikes off, but that was probably about it. You

went on to win Sports Personality of the Year, you know that so many

British athletes, Mo Farah also lost, and I want to ask you about

his race last night, it didn't go exactly to plan, but you know

everything he has done for British distance track racing, his legacy

will not be tainted after that result. No, you cannot taint Mo, he

has won so many medals at the event, but it is good for the event to move

on, so when you get good competition, the way that the race

whence tactically, it is good for our sport, and we are always looking

for new champions, and Mo has been a new ambassador, but now we need to

find the new Mo and the new Usain Bolt, so it was the beginning of a

new era as well, we are looking for the next superstar of athletics. I

think it is only right that I should talk to you about your girl, Eilish

is preparing to run tonight, take the coach away, be a mum, how are

you feeling? I am really nervous, I have never been this nevers before,

and the reason I am nervous is because, as a coach, I know she is

in really good shape, and I want her to go out and get the result that

she deserves. Sometimes you need a lot to do that, it is not just about

being in the best shape, everything has got to come together for you,

and for Eilish, she has had such a roller-coaster ride, a lot more than

a lot of other people, and I am really proud to see her here now as

a mother and a coach, it is the culmination of very many years of

being consistently trying to get there, nothing special, just

believing in herself. I see tonight as the start of a new era for her.

She is not going to win it, the two African girls are going to and I

lately peeled, but it is about gaining the experience. -- are going

to annihilate the field. There is a third spot that about seven girls

can grab, so who knows? She has an occasion to enjoy, as do you, we

have kept you too long, off you go, go and support your daughter!

Probably a good time for us to get inside and enjoy this 10,000m.

5000m, it is coming up in about ten minutes, and she is honest in a

assessment of this race, because it is stacked, it is going to be very

difficult for them to push their way through that field. It is a loaded

field, and she is right that it is wide open, but sadly I think it is

beyond the medals, cause you have got Ayana, the fastest World

Championships time 5000m is the second half of her 10,000m, so she

is in outstanding form. With her and Obiri, and Hassan, she is running

against her personal best. Let's get outside, the high jump competition

is hotting up, although the hedgehog might have something to say about

that, Steve Backley. Hasn't had a go, has he?

He would do well, wouldn't he?! Hero entertaining the crowd, as are the

high jumpers and the discus throwers, the last two field events.

Barshim has been the star, 2.25 is the new heights, and that is just

gravity defying. Well, he came in at the first sight, that was a bit of a

surprise, Bondarenko chose to pass, Barshim, two jumps, two clearances,

ten centimetres at least, that is 2.25, remember. So let's keep an eye

on Barshim. Danil Lysenko, a young neutral athlete, just 20 years of

age. Talking to Robbie Grabarz' coach, this is a man they really

rate, and that is why. Slight wobble there, not quite as impressive as

Barshim's, but an improving athlete in a championships, always a

handful, perfect card so far. 2.34 he has jumped this year. So

Robbie Grabarz getting ready for the height that caught him out last

year, he failed ones at this height en route to clearing 2.33 in Rio,

and that cost him a medal. So Robbie Grabarz, first attempt, 2.25. Oh

yes! That is more like it. Big thumbs up, big cheer from the crowd,

the perfect start for Robbie. That puts Robbie in joint fourth

place. That might be enough to win a medal.

It was five years ago, he shared a medal. Runs that curve. Get his

fruits on the button, RP pops. Gets some free energy. At the other end

of the stadium, Perkovic. A big favourite to take the title. Double

Olympic champion. 27 years of age. The longest 25 years. That's why

she's going in at a massive favourite to throw her way to a gold

medal. She already leads with 69.30 metres. Way out in front. Second

round. It is on 70 metres. It is over. It is closing in on that

Championship record. Perkovic, as good as they've ever

been. Stamping her authority in the lead.

Bondarenko in some trouble. It doesn't look good. He's really under

pressure. Look at that. Wasn't expecting that. It didn't look good

at all. He had appeared yesterday but he's shaved off. That leaves him

ninth overall. Good clearance but he's now passed 2.2 nine. He will

take the next jump at 2.3 two. First track event of the final

evening. Raced Laura Muir in the 1500 metres,

Hassan. There is the fool line up for you. A very good Ethiopian. She

may be a name that we will get to know.

Shannon Rowbury of the USA is talking up her chances of a medal.

She attempted the double in Rio de Janiero and it did not pay off. How

tired is she after that incredible performance where she won by 46

seconds, completely pulled the field apart? With very good and

qualification. Teferi certainly capable of getting

in amongst the medals here. Silver-medallist at the last World

Championships. Will be a big cheer from Laura Muir. So close in the

1500 metres to a medal. Occasion. Helen Obiri, having the best season

of her life, concentrating solely on this. Eilish McColgan, so close to

going under 15 minutes in qualification. A big thumbs up as

she looks in great spirits and why not? Great test ahead for her. And

this young lady, the junior champion, has a great future ahead

of her on the track. Molly Huddle of the USA. Did make it through as the

fastest loser. Laura Muir and Eilish McColgan carry the hopes of Great

Britain here. It will be a tough race. The question is what tactics

the canyons will employ, whether Ayana makes a fast run. Forced to

wait whilst the 5000 metres gets under way. Standing at the back of

the sector. This is the height he cleared to take bronze. That's his

most important jump so far. He's still in a good position. Only one

person has passed. Goes into second place. The high jump final, we will

need to watch 5000. They might not get there by that point. It is like

a bicycle race. How slow can you go west-2-mac the race began and it is

11 and a half. The overall time will be affected by that. I was going to

set it up in context of what she did in the other race. The Championship

marker set their own. In that 10,000 metres, the second half, she ran

14.2 four. She is a controversial figure, Ayana. Eilish McColgan has

been struggling to understand it and questioning some of the protocols

around Ethiopian drug testing. That is something to be discussed. Ayana

is certainly taking it into a new area.

Difficult to place in terms of what we've seen before over the years. It

has not always gone her way in the 5000. First and second place today

in the 5000 metres, it's great to see these young Scottish athletes,

Liz McColgan's daughter and Laura Muir together, growing up in the

sport. It is great to see them and it would be wonderful to see how far

they can get up the field. We have seen them very close to medal.

Both laps were so slow and it has not get any quicker. The European

who ran for Bahrain... They've completed three laps. I have a

feeling that is the last we will see the slow laps and now the race is

really getting moving. The fuel is stretch out with Eilish McColgan and

Laura Muir near the back. The favourites. Ayana leading from

Obiri. We will see the British athletes coming through. Going

gradually, when you respond to a fast burst like Molly Huddle has put

in, you should do it gradually, not quickly. They're now striving out

and really moving and this will be interesting. Remember the first

laps, literally significantly faster. Almost world-record pace.

Tells you what kind of speed they will run at. 65 seconds, that is

really quick. They knew this was going to happen. There's a second

group with African contingent. There was a sense that there would be a

second group. Hassan wanted to make those quick choices. Sadly the

second group will probably do the work together and hope that one of

the front two falls apart. The talent of that second group is

strong enough and good enough that they can work quickly. Hassan, the

only quicker, has managed to get in there. Eilish McColgan and Laura

Muir are behind. Beer is the second. Two Ethiopians, two canyons and San

-- Hassan. Eilish McColgan trying to make a move on the outside. As she

recovered from the exertions? Looking strong. It hurts, that

contrast. However good a runner you are, you cannot work to that. It is

on a level like that. They are trying to get back towards the

second group. Laura Muir will try to go with that. Breaking away from

this group with 2.4 eight. The world record is 40 minutes and 11 seconds.

The last two lapse is 13.4 five. Body has ever been to run that back.

The body has ever broken 14. It had to happen. She had to slow down. Is

she recovering from the 10,000 metres or has she got enough stamina

to keep going crystal mark -- keep going? You think, what is going on

here. The group is tracking another group. The two favourites are miles

clear. They've done a fantastic job of looking that grew back. They will

be delighted that the group has slowed down. There is no question

that the front ones are away. Now there is a big group. Sat and

watched. Laura Muir and Eilish McColgan have had to work a little

bit harder. The neutral athletes, just 28 years of age, Lysenko.

Everybody else carries a failure. Including deadly metal he gets it!

Two men clear, one of the second attempt. Looks as though it is going

to be sorting out the medals here. A really big jump for Robbie

Grabarz, second attempt at 2.29. Just clipped that! Two fouls, he

will have one more try. He stays in bronze medal position with two

others, oh, just his shorts taking that off. A little more lift, come

on, Robbie, this is the height you need.

Well, they are coming around now with four laps to go, just over four

laps to go, a massive gap to the field, but we expected Ayana and

Obiri to contest the gold medal, but what about the bronze medal? A whole

bunch of athletes including Laura Muir and Eilish McColgan are trying

to hold onto that second group, and Severn Hassan has decided to try to

break that up, too many people here, I want to get rid of a few of them.

Krumins has been in great form, surprised that Gidey cannot keep up

with that. As we watch the two British athletes working their way

through the field, it is classic distance running confrontation. The

world record-holder over 10,000m, the 10,000m champion, Ayana, another

68 seconds lap, that is world record pace, they have been running faster

than world record pace, and the intermediate splits are going to be

staggering. That is the chasing group, there is Hassan and the

runner from the Netherlands. In that group, the third athlete, Hassan,

she ran the 1500m, and just for a moment I thought that Laura Muir's

group was going to close up with that, but she is finding this, her

first serious international championship 5000m, she is finding

it pretty hard. Three laps to go for the group chasing for the bronze

medal, Shannon Rowbury, Laura Muir are another 15 metres behind, Eilish

McColgan and other 15 behind them, but these are the two in front, a

lot of these athletes would be happy to do this pace for just 2000m and

forget the rest of the laps. They are slowing but they are a long way

ahead. They are slowing because those intermediate laps were savage,

unprecedented distance running in the middle of the race. Ayana,

Ramallah what she did in the 5000m in Rio, she ran a really fast time

for the second half of the 10,000m, but she found Kenyan company in the

person of Vivian Cheruiyot. Is she going to win the double? Mo Farah

found the double difficult. In the second group, Kipkemboi, Hassan,

then a gap, then another gap, but Laura Muir is running well through

the field, this is a baptism of fire for her, remember, she has already

done her specialist event and almost got a bronze medal, finishing

fourth, and now she is tackling this one. She looks like she has

recovered from that heat, Steve. Yes, Eilish McColgan is about 12

metres behind Laura Muir, trying to close the gap. It looks as though

the three who are well clear for the battle for bronze have got it

between them, not much happening behind them as they can -- continue

to pull away. This time they will hear the bell, Ayana must know that

Hellen Obiri has got a vicious kick, a very good 1500m runner. Hellen

Obiri may well have been able to contest the 1500m here, she backed

herself to come and run with Ayana, to chase Ayana, and then to add kick

Ayana. They enter the last lap, and Sifan Hassan in a battle with

Teferi. Has Ayana done enough? There goes Obiri, look at the speed of

that, we saw this in the Anniversary Games, look at her now to Ayana.

Superb running from Obiri, she waited, she knew what Ayana was

going to do, she knew she would try to break in the middle of the race,

but Obiri has been in superb form, the best I have ever seen from the

Olympic silver-medallist, and now she is going to become the world

champion. Hellen Obiri sprinting home for Kenya. It is going to be an

emphatic win for her, look at this last lap from Hellen Obiri, gold to

Kenya! Ayana will add the silver medal to her gold from the 10,000m,

look at the delight, Sifan Hassan has won a bronze medal, she cannot

believe it. Laura Muir has run brilliantly to come in sixth place,

I think, very strong, look at the time for Laura as well, about 14.54,

something like that, Eilish McColgan just outside 15 minutes, just

crossing the line. Then the two Americans, or three Americans.

Kenya, you know, Brendan, it is always Kenya versus Ethiopia, but

Hellen Obiri is an experienced runner, and she has waited for this

moment, because she knew that Ayana was in the sort of shape that she

could maybe run at that world record pace, but for how long? Sifan

Hassan, delighted for her, the two British athletes, well done, Laura

Muir, Eilish, tough race, was always going to be hard, and they have

acquitted themselves very well indeed. Laura Muir ran an excellent

race today, Eilish McColgan was hurting in the later stages but

stuck to her task, sixth-place for Laura Muir, in that company, is

exceptional, her first major championship at 5000m, and I think

one day this young lady is going to win a gold medal at a very

significant level, 5000m as well as 1500m. She has learned from these

races, Obiri was the athlete who tackled her at the Anniversary

Games, and that was the warning to Laura Muir, so she is dealing with

top-level international athletics, and the way that race was won,

Steve, it really was a baptism of fire, but what a great champion,

what a great performance, following the leader Ayana as far as she

could, then a 60 seconds last lap at that sort of pace was absolutely

staggering. We saw true world-class distance running today.

So a really big moment for Robbie Grabarz, 2.29, he has had two fouls,

and he has to go clear. There is is -- his coach, Fuzz Khan. So Robbie

Grabarz, how much do you want a medal here? He said he would be

disappointed to not take a medal, it is the only medal he doesn't have,

he has Olympic bronze, European gold, European and world indoor

silvers, never a world medal, and he has to go clear at this fight to

stay involved in this competition. Four have already gone clear now.

Not to be on this occasion. Grab ours, three consecutive fouls, coach

cannot believe it. -- Grabarz. Neither can I, fifth place, really

disappointing. Great performance, he has come back from so much, knee

surgery, there was a point where we thought he might have retired, so

great athlete, great Briton, I am choking up a little bit. I feel

really bad for him. Yeah, emotional time for Grabarz, just seeing his

last failure at that height, a superb competitor, and that is why

we were so optimistic for him. His coach knew that, but it wasn't meant

to be this evening in the world final. Grabarz fifth at the moment,

but Bondarenko past, probably will end up in sixth place. No shame, but

I know he would have expected more. And here comes Obiri, a 60 second

last lap following Ayana, then taking off and running like a true

champion, enjoying those moments, and so she should. The London

Stadium is a lucky one for her, exceptional win. Really, really fast

last kilometre. STUDIO: I am delighted to say we're

four visitors to the studio, none other than the women's 4x100m

silver-medallist, wonderful to have you here.

Resplendent with your silver medals, the smiles on your faces! Have you

stopped smiling since last night? Even standing on the podium, I could

feel my cheeks shaking from smiling so hard, I am really embracing this

moment! And the home crowd last night, they absolutely love your

performance, and then today they came out, it was packed for your

medal ceremony. Amazing, honestly, when we got to watch the boys, it

was electric. When you went out, you had such a brilliant qualifying, you

looked so good, we were all really pleased that there was a packed

house in the morning, because we felt that you are dealt with that

expectation, what was the difference when you came out at night? Oh, it

was even more are electric, the crowd was louder, we did feel, OK,

we can actually do something here, so we had that pressure, but we were

confident and relaxed. And of course those brilliant entrances, Dina, you

didn't do too much with yours, does it add to the element of it being a

performance? I think it is, because we were all dolled up with our

make-up, we are here to perform on the track, but you want to come and

do your nation proud, so we go out and do the best job that we possibly

can. And to move up from bronze in Rio to the silver medal position is

great, because it shows the investment in time and training, the

whole GB squad has put into relays is paying dividends. We definitely

worked very hard here, we had a few niggles, but we knew how to put it

together when it mattered. So much trust with each other. Most

definitely, we have become a lot closer, given the fact that we all

went to our first Olympics together, and we came away with a bronze

medal, so coming here again this year was, we are like sisters, we

have gone through so much, trained extremely hard, so we are really

proud of being able to stick together and win as a team, and as a

family, it feels like. And you pave the way, you showed that it is

possible with this amazing stadium and the amazing crowd, and the men

came out, perhaps with not as much expectation as you guys, and they

smashed it, and you watching them was a wonderful scene. We didn't

realise we were being filmed! We just remember standing there, and

they said, do you want to do your interviews before or after the boys?

We thought we would do them before, but we were screaming and willing

them on, and to see them do that was incredible. They have trained so

hard, so much talent in that squad, yeah, we were very excited! I think

you have probably had about two hours asleep. Less! She is the only

one that can sleep! Have you had any time to party at all? No! No! That

I'm come, I won't keep you anymore, I know have probably got a week of

commitments. -- that time will come. Thank you so much for that moment,

the nation is so proud. Thank you. The sky is looking beautiful over

the London Stadium, it is a gorgeous evening here, we have so much great

action still to come, the high jump competition is hotting up, the

women's 800m is coming your way, the men's 1500m, and of course the 4x400

metres relays are coming up very shortly on BBC One.
