:00:21. > :00:29.Faces world domination for Mo Farah. Michael Johnson storming away to
:00:30. > :00:32.another gold medal. Magnificent, Carl Lewis, that is
:00:33. > :00:39.history in the making. Jessica Ennis-Hill is back on top of
:00:40. > :00:42.the world. Its huge! Its massive!
:00:43. > :01:01.Champion of the world. Usain Bolt! At 9:50pm tonight Scotland's Laura
:01:02. > :01:04.Muir will run three and three quarters laps of this tract in a bid
:01:05. > :01:08.to become the first British woman ever to win the 1500 metres in the
:01:09. > :01:11.World Championships. COMMENTATOR: Laura Muir doing what
:01:12. > :01:15.she does best, digging deep and grimacing down the back straight.
:01:16. > :01:20.People always ask me what it's like to be a distance runner. For me, the
:01:21. > :01:24.psychological balance, the powerful yet intricately woven physical and
:01:25. > :01:27.mental process that racing is all about is maybe best summed up by
:01:28. > :01:34.these words. With every step you tread, with
:01:35. > :01:43.every breath you take, determination makes you run. Never stop. Got to
:01:44. > :01:49.win. Got to run until you drop. Keep the pace, hold the race. I've got to
:01:50. > :01:58.keep running the course. I've got to keep running and win at all costs.
:01:59. > :02:05.I've got to keep going. Be strong, must be so determined, and push
:02:06. > :02:16.myself on. Run on and on, run on and on. We all love a bit of Iron
:02:17. > :02:22.Maiden. # I've got to keep running and win
:02:23. > :02:28.at all costs # I've got to keep going
:02:29. > :02:38.# Be determined and push myself on # STUDIO: She is a fair maiden that we
:02:39. > :02:45.didn't have Paula down as an Iron Maiden fan, you live and learn. The
:02:46. > :02:50.women's 1500 metre final is the big attraction on Dave four, so far
:02:51. > :02:53.we've had three amazing days. So many controversies, stories and
:02:54. > :03:02.magic, that's why we love the sport so much, and all that has been can
:03:03. > :03:07.-- captured here and lots of action is still to come. Laura Muir is out
:03:08. > :03:12.on the track, she has just arrived on the warm up track, getting
:03:13. > :03:18.herself ready. One hour 16 minutes away. It is quite a chilly evening,
:03:19. > :03:25.the temperature has dropped a few degrees so she will keep those
:03:26. > :03:30.layers on a little longer, I think. Iron Maiden fan, Paula Radcliffe, is
:03:31. > :03:33.the sandwich filler Twin Denise Lewis and Michael Johnson, whose
:03:34. > :03:39.musical taste is no doubt will come out over the next few days. Did that
:03:40. > :03:47.surprise you about Paula? Nothing surprises me about Paula, I can see
:03:48. > :03:53.a bit of Iron. A bit of head-banging. Paula has surprised me
:03:54. > :03:59.before so I can see that. Tonight come of this final is such an
:04:00. > :04:01.exciting final, they are calling it the greatest final in the
:04:02. > :04:05.championship in terms of the sheer talent that is in there, and it's
:04:06. > :04:11.difficult to pick out their favourite. Who would do that after
:04:12. > :04:17.last night anyway's it personifies exactly that, just how great sport
:04:18. > :04:23.is when it is unpredictable, when it is all down to that intriguing
:04:24. > :04:31.battle over what people will do, how they will run it. Because, not
:04:32. > :04:34.everybody can go into that race and execute the plan from start to
:04:35. > :04:39.finish. Laura Muir is one of those people who can do that, she can have
:04:40. > :04:42.a plan and go out and lay everything on the line for that plan, there are
:04:43. > :04:46.lots of girls in the race who will not be prepared to do that, so
:04:47. > :04:50.that's why I say when we looked down to find who will be the natural
:04:51. > :04:53.frontrunner to take that on to take the race and take the sting out of
:04:54. > :05:00.Caster Semenya who has looked frighteningly easy through the
:05:01. > :05:03.rounds so far. Sifan Hassan has been the best woman in the world so far
:05:04. > :05:12.and knows she is in better shape than she has been. Genzebe Dibaba
:05:13. > :05:16.has not been in good form. They'll have to do something. Will Laura
:05:17. > :05:20.Muir run safe and run for the bronze medal? Laura Muir has never done
:05:21. > :05:24.that in her life. Will she lay it all on the line and go for gold and
:05:25. > :05:30.in doing so really lay herself wide open to the people who will sit and
:05:31. > :05:37.wait like Jenny Simpson, Laura Weightman sneaking over the radar,
:05:38. > :05:41.and Meraf Bahta. Some headlines from what has happened so far this
:05:42. > :05:44.evening, if you are not with us on BBC Two for the women's hammer final
:05:45. > :05:50.and Sophie Hitchon of Great Britain came into this as a contender for a
:05:51. > :05:54.rostrum finish but sadly it plateaued for Sophie this evening,
:05:55. > :06:00.she was landing her throws around the same mark of the final throw as
:06:01. > :06:03.it was in Rio was her best at 72.32, immense disappointment finishing
:06:04. > :06:07.seventh, and of course a bronze-medallist in Rio a year ago
:06:08. > :06:12.and not able to improve her PB tonight which would have taken her
:06:13. > :06:16.to a medal finish, Denise. She was bitterly disappointed afterwards.
:06:17. > :06:22.Bitterly disappointed. A lot of expectation. Britain are not only
:06:23. > :06:26.looking for medals, but for her personally just being in shape,
:06:27. > :06:33.mentally focused, and not delivering what she expected to be a great
:06:34. > :06:39.performance. And of course it was won by Anita Wlodarczyk, the out and
:06:40. > :06:45.out favourite, her distance was down, 77.90, she threw, but it was
:06:46. > :06:51.enough, a couple of metres ahead of second place, so congratulations to
:06:52. > :06:57.Poland, one and three in that hammer final. Just as we came on air it was
:06:58. > :07:01.the men's 400 metres hurdles heats, the second heat and Steve Cram is
:07:02. > :07:04.your commentator. COMMENTATOR: There is the line-up for the second
:07:05. > :07:10.semifinal, Jack Green in lane three, the real dangers in five, TJ Holmes
:07:11. > :07:18.of the USA, Mamadou Kasse Hann of France, Jim Yuille hide -- Jaheel
:07:19. > :07:23.Hyde of Jamaica. And Mitu qualified by rights and two fastest losers
:07:24. > :07:26.through to Wednesday's final. Jack will have to run quicker than he has
:07:27. > :07:36.done maybe in his career to get through here. Changing down on
:07:37. > :07:41.hurdle eight in the heats, he said he might change down earlier today
:07:42. > :07:46.in hurdle seven and bring it home from their but he has already got
:07:47. > :07:51.some ground to make up, TJ Holmes going well, the 20-year-old of
:07:52. > :07:56.Jamaica Jaheel Hyde going well and outside him Jack Green with a bit of
:07:57. > :08:02.distance to make up. They will need to be strong in the home straight,
:08:03. > :08:11.they have gone out hard. Jack Green has got to go here. TJ Holmes,
:08:12. > :08:19.Jaheel Hyde, over on the inside Kariem Hussein is coming fast. Look
:08:20. > :08:23.at Kariem Hussein. TJ Holmes will get up to second place, Jack Green
:08:24. > :08:30.may have been fourth. Fourth is the least he would have to do given the
:08:31. > :08:34.time was 49.13, a really messy race from everyone, Kariem Hussein in
:08:35. > :08:38.lane two did we had to do and everybody is, to be honest, did not
:08:39. > :08:41.perform up to scratch, so whatever happens Jack Green is out, not quick
:08:42. > :08:50.enough in the heat, terrible race from Jaheel Hyde, terrible race from
:08:51. > :08:53.Hann, Jack Green is out. Confirmation of the result, slow
:08:54. > :08:58.semifinal, they went out hard and could not bring it back, the only
:08:59. > :09:03.one who ran his own race was Kariem Hussein. TJ Holmes got the nod, so
:09:04. > :09:07.those two through to the final, no fastest loser.
:09:08. > :09:21.The last of the semifinals, these are those who will contest it.
:09:22. > :09:32.Here is Samba both Qatar, running for Qatar of the last couple of
:09:33. > :09:38.years, from Mauritania, 48.31 this season. Looked very good in
:09:39. > :09:45.qualifying. Ludvy Vaillant of France, another youngster, a new
:09:46. > :09:53.personal best this season, 49.31. Might struggle against the athlete
:09:54. > :09:56.outside and in side. Yasmani Copello, the bronze-medallist in
:09:57. > :10:04.Rio, former Cuban are now running for Turkey. Ricardo Cunningham of
:10:05. > :10:08.Jamaica is 36 now, giving away a few years. Much of his career was spent
:10:09. > :10:17.as an 800-metre runner but pretty good times in this event now. And on
:10:18. > :10:26.the inside in lane two, Eric Futch, the US champion, down to 48.18 this
:10:27. > :10:28.season, works with the same coach as Kerron Clement. That second
:10:29. > :10:33.semifinal was very disappointing in terms of standard from a lot of
:10:34. > :10:37.them, the times, not just Jack Green, but everyone down on their
:10:38. > :10:41.best. The fastest losers, two of them from the first semifinal,
:10:42. > :10:51.48.66, the last of them Kemar Mowatt of Jamaica. So, Eric Futch, Ricardo
:10:52. > :10:56.Cunningham, Yasmani Copello, Ludvy Vaillant of France, Samba of Qatar
:10:57. > :11:00.in six, Marcio Teles of Brazil goes in seven, the Italian in eight and
:11:01. > :11:14.the Argentinian in lane nine. The last of the semifinals of the
:11:15. > :11:20.men's 400 metres hurdles, the final is on Wednesday and a bit of a
:11:21. > :11:24.movement made by samba of Qatar in lane six in the red vest, the tall
:11:25. > :11:31.figure striding beautifully down the back straight, samba with a fraction
:11:32. > :11:34.of the lead at the moment. The Brazilian, Marcio Teles has fallen,
:11:35. > :11:40.and it looked nasty. Samba still moving nicely, and also the French
:11:41. > :11:44.youngster Ludvy Vaillant. Yasmani Copello, the Turkish athlete is
:11:45. > :11:48.beginning to look like he is jogging, so powerful in the final
:11:49. > :11:55.stages. Eric Futch trying to get into things and be American does
:11:56. > :11:59.that, the Olympic champion is spent. These three are battling. Eric Futch
:12:00. > :12:04.checks so he misses out on automatic qualifying and it's about the time
:12:05. > :12:09.now, as Samba takes it, Yasmani Copello second and Eric Futch run
:12:10. > :12:15.out of automatic qualifying, the US champion. The time of the winner is
:12:16. > :12:19.48.77, so he will not go through, Eric Futch, it will just be those
:12:20. > :12:25.two men in the first positions. Yasmani Copello. Marcio Teles is
:12:26. > :12:30.getting treatment. Samba of Qatar was the winner. This was Marcio
:12:31. > :12:34.Teles taking a nasty fall on the back straight, just getting back to
:12:35. > :12:38.his feet. Third from the left of your screen, I think he cracks it
:12:39. > :12:42.with his lead leg, he was all over the place and he hooked his lead
:12:43. > :12:47.foot under the barrier. You've got to remember that these hurdles are
:12:48. > :12:51.weighted, they are not flimsy and will just drop. Have a look at this
:12:52. > :12:56.race, this is what I call a well-balanced race, they didn't go
:12:57. > :13:00.out particularly hard, they went out with the right pace. Getting into
:13:01. > :13:10.the rhythm of the 400-metre hurdles is important, you heard Eilidh Doyle
:13:11. > :13:12.say that, you don't want to mess about, get into your stride pattern
:13:13. > :13:15.and get it right and these two athletes did that and they are
:13:16. > :13:17.rewarded with a direct place in the final. Good, solid, and looking
:13:18. > :13:20.forward to a good final. Marcio Teles is getting helped off but that
:13:21. > :13:24.was a slower heat semifinals are the fastest losers both coming from that
:13:25. > :13:29.first semifinal, which we will tidy up for you later on.
:13:30. > :13:35.Another field event final just about to get under way, the women's triple
:13:36. > :13:39.jump, three main contenders, Rypakova, the Olympic champion of
:13:40. > :13:45.2012, the Venezuelan at the bottom of your screen, one of the most
:13:46. > :13:47.successful athletes in the world across all events, Caterine Ibarguen
:13:48. > :13:57.makes her quest to be three times world champion. So, Olga Rypakova
:13:58. > :14:03.enjoyed this stadium in 2012 en route to becoming Olympic champion.
:14:04. > :14:11.She is now 32 years of age. It was bronze last year for the Kazakhstan
:14:12. > :14:17.athlete. Behind Rojas and Ibarguen. Rypakova, round one of the women's
:14:18. > :14:27.triple jump final. It is a big jump beyond 14 metres. That is a good
:14:28. > :14:31.start for her. Season's best of 14.64, rangy athlete, good step,
:14:32. > :14:38.good balance, stretched well in to the middle phase, held it into the
:14:39. > :14:43.final jump. Let's have a look at the board. Slight adjustment can be
:14:44. > :14:50.made. It is a really good start for Olga Rypakova. She is a 15-metre
:14:51. > :15:00.jumper when she gets it really right. 14.45. In the lead in the
:15:01. > :15:09.first round. Caterine Ibarguen chasing Rypakova's gleed. Look at
:15:10. > :15:14.that. -- lead. Another athlete that can go to 40 metres and beyond as
:15:15. > :15:19.she did last summer on the way to Olympic glory, 15.17 on that
:15:20. > :15:23.occasion. -- 14 metres and beyond. She looks as if she has made inroads
:15:24. > :15:30.into the leading mark of Rypakova, that looks closer to the 15-metre
:15:31. > :15:33.line for Ibarguen. Synonymous with the event, probably as much as
:15:34. > :15:40.Christian Taylor is on the men's side. Christian Taylor, we sought
:15:41. > :15:47.qualify earlier this season -- we sought qualify, this is the final,
:15:48. > :15:54.medals on offer, a bug when has two medals already in her collection. It
:15:55. > :15:59.is young versus old. Ibarguen is 33 years of age, Rojas, the Venezuelan,
:16:00. > :16:03.21 years of age. 14.67, out in front.
:16:04. > :16:12.I mentioned Christian Taylor. This was earlier this evening in the
:16:13. > :16:16.qualifying. 17 metres exactly was needed.
:16:17. > :16:22.18 metres 11. That was his best from this year.
:16:23. > :16:31.Good on the board. Out to qualify. In excess of that 17-metre mark. His
:16:32. > :16:36.team-mate was better, 17. 20. Only three athletes got the lead in
:16:37. > :16:43.qualifying. Got the automatic qualifying in the men's triple jump.
:16:44. > :16:47.Christian Naples of Cuba. The 18-year-old was the third.
:16:48. > :16:53.Will Clay also making up that American ci yes. But Christian
:16:54. > :17:18.Taylor goes into this final, 17. 15. Here are all the qualifiers for that
:17:19. > :17:25.triple jump final. That looks like the battle.
:17:26. > :17:36.Nathan Fox, unfortunately not able to get into contention.
:17:37. > :17:43.19th place. The qualifiers then for the final of
:17:44. > :17:58.the men's 400. Clement, the quickest of them.
:17:59. > :18:02.We have a very busy night still to come here. Let's look at what's
:18:03. > :18:14.coming up. The women's, Allyson Felix is out
:18:15. > :18:44.there for the 400 metres. Reigning Olympic champion Omar
:18:45. > :18:49.McLeod has talked about breaking the hurdles record this year. Can he do
:18:50. > :18:56.it tonight? The man who holds that record is Aries Merritt. Going for a
:18:57. > :19:00.first outdoor world title. And Laura Weightman, she's looking
:19:01. > :19:07.to shine in that 1500 metre final at 9. 50pm.
:19:08. > :19:13.Joining Weightman is Caster Semenya, an Olympic champion over 800 metres.
:19:14. > :19:20.Looking for a first 1500 metre medal. There'll be Faith Chepngetich
:19:21. > :19:23.Kipyegon. Can she grab gold? On paper, it is one of the hardest
:19:24. > :19:43.races of the championship. Nine-world champion finalist Allyson
:19:44. > :19:57.Felix features at 8.55. You can expect a fierce battle
:19:58. > :20:03.between Aries Merritt and Mcleod. It is the 1500 metre final. Could be
:20:04. > :20:07.the race of the championship, not least if Laura Muir gets herself on
:20:08. > :20:15.to the podium. And Laura Muir, on her own there, in the warm-up area.
:20:16. > :20:21.Just under an hour to go. Her date with destiny. She's been magnificent
:20:22. > :20:26.indoors, a double champion, breaking British records. She's got a hugely
:20:27. > :20:32.talented field to contend with. It is absolutely stacked. Not least
:20:33. > :20:36.Caster Semenya. She's there on the right, the South African, who of
:20:37. > :20:41.course is dominant in 800 metres. She's chosen the 1500 metres this
:20:42. > :20:47.time around. She made her qualifying look very straightforward. Let's
:20:48. > :20:52.look at the medal table. Had a few chances to add to tallies.
:20:53. > :20:57.And this evening we have seen a couple of medal ceremonies. But it
:20:58. > :21:00.is very, very even. New Zealand, of course with that shot put gold in
:21:01. > :21:21.the men's competition last night. United States leading the way, from
:21:22. > :21:26.Ethiopia. There have been a few women actually really who we had
:21:27. > :21:31.high hopes to get on to the rostrum, Holly Bradshaw, Sophie Hitchon,
:21:32. > :21:37.obviously, as an Olympic bronze-medallist. Of the six to
:21:38. > :21:38.eight that British Athletics have targeted, would they have been in
:21:39. > :21:45.that group? I think so. At least from KJT as
:21:46. > :21:50.well. There would have been at least a couple in there. I think that six
:21:51. > :21:59.to eight range was pretty much based on, yes, we have two guaranteed for
:22:00. > :22:02.Mo, and then we've got a whole... Guaranteed, even after thafl 10 K.
:22:03. > :22:07.That was the way they are looking at it. It is two guaranteed there. From
:22:08. > :22:13.the rest, we've got a whole bunch that everything needs to go right.
:22:14. > :22:24.Things need to go right in there. I had Walkins in there. There are some
:22:25. > :22:29.that aring noing on the -- are knocking on the door. Calum thought
:22:30. > :22:34.he was capable of getting that medal. That's a good sign, he can
:22:35. > :22:38.come back and attack for more. Sophie Hitchon said she's her, the
:22:39. > :22:41.biggest disappointment - nobody can be more disappointed than she can
:22:42. > :22:46.herself because so much was riding on it. That is all a good sign.
:22:47. > :22:51.Thaul goes in and gets them more fired up the next time they come
:22:52. > :22:56.around. It is UK Sport that set the target of six to eight. They would
:22:57. > :23:04.have been hopeful with it being a home championship that would have
:23:05. > :23:09.been at the upper end of that tally. UK Sport set the target and how it
:23:10. > :23:13.affects the sport should we not get the medal target. You must be
:23:14. > :23:18.chuffed about how the United States are doing at the moment? I think
:23:19. > :23:22.that, though, you know, with what we do, in terms of getting people sort
:23:23. > :23:29.of hyped up, Sophie Hitchon, I mean, I think that was just a lot of
:23:30. > :23:33.pressure on her. She's tenth best coming into the world in this
:23:34. > :23:38.championship. Her performance was tenth best in the world. To expect
:23:39. > :23:47.her to leapfrog six people to get into bronzed people is expecting
:23:48. > :23:49.quite a lot. It is the women's 400 metres semi-finals about to take
:23:50. > :24:00.place now on the track. Steve Cram is there for you.
:24:01. > :24:14.Not a Stella year. Hayes of the United States. This is
:24:15. > :24:30.McPherson of Jamaica who will hope she can get ahead of these two we
:24:31. > :24:34.are seeing here, Hayes, 49. 72. Really enjoy watching her. Her
:24:35. > :24:42.husband will take part later on in this week. The Olympic champion.
:24:43. > :24:48.Patience Okon George, of Nigeria, in lane four.
:24:49. > :25:09.51. 06 this year. Roxana Gomez, Bianca Razor, another
:25:10. > :25:14.couple in this, Ashley Kelly from the British virgin islands on the
:25:15. > :25:17.outside. And Gunta Latiseva-Cudare, of
:25:18. > :25:23.Latvia. First two to go through. The only
:25:24. > :25:33.British athlete to make it through was Zoey Clark. It will be tough for
:25:34. > :25:37.her at this level. First two and fastest through. We
:25:38. > :25:45.expect the Olympic champion who has been in great form all year. And 400
:25:46. > :25:46.metres against the American champion, Quanera Hayes. It should
:25:47. > :26:06.be straightforward for those two. When she won that Olympic title, she
:26:07. > :26:17.threw herself over the line. Coaches maybe giving them diving
:26:18. > :26:21.lessons! I don't know. Is Quanera Hayes suffering here? She's
:26:22. > :26:29.beginning to run now. She's got a lot of ground to make up. McPherson
:26:30. > :26:35.is up there with Miller-Uibo. Yes, maybe McPherson is going to now
:26:36. > :26:40.try and hold off. The charging Quanera Hayes. That was too slow
:26:41. > :26:44.through the first 200 metres. She's trying to get there. It will be
:26:45. > :26:51.McPherson who takes second. What on earth was the American champion
:26:52. > :26:55.doing? I know she would have looked at that and I said the two should
:26:56. > :27:00.qualify, no problem for the Olympic champion. But the American champion,
:27:01. > :27:05.well actually I will let Michael come in on this. I was astounded.
:27:06. > :27:09.That couldn't have been the game plan. Steve, I have no more than you
:27:10. > :27:19.do. I don't know what she was doing there. She literally was asleep on
:27:20. > :27:22.the back stretch and when she saw the Olympic champion, Miller-Uibo,
:27:23. > :27:27.come by her she didn't react. This is a semifinal. You know you are
:27:28. > :27:31.under pressure. Get up to race pace. At this point everything looks OK.
:27:32. > :27:46.But she never really pushes down the back stretch. You see Shaunae
:27:47. > :27:56.Miller-Uibo go past here. Now Miller-Uibo, now she's married and
:27:57. > :28:02.getting into the current and not running it like a final. Now she can
:28:03. > :28:05.relax down the home stretch. Quanera Hayes, on the outside,
:28:06. > :28:09.trying to get back into it. Looked like maybe there was something wrong
:28:10. > :28:14.on the back stretch. She's obviously got the speed and endurance, because
:28:15. > :28:18.she's making a mad dash for the finish line. Trying to get one of
:28:19. > :28:25.those guaranteed spots in the final. But not to be. But maybe she'll get
:28:26. > :28:34.in on time. She may well do. It may well be
:28:35. > :28:37.quick enough. The overall standard is not great, isn't exceptional this
:28:38. > :28:45.year. At this point she seemed to switch off. And you see Shaunae
:28:46. > :28:49.Miller-Uibo go past here at that point. You wonder after what we have
:28:50. > :28:52.heard about some of the athletes suffering from food poisoning and
:28:53. > :28:59.maybe something was wrong. It looked at 200 metres she may have taken a
:29:00. > :29:04.look down, but now things seem to be OK, back in to it. And technique
:29:05. > :29:08.looks great. Technique looks fine. It looks like there's nothing really
:29:09. > :29:12.wrong here. It will be interesting to see, to hear from her what was
:29:13. > :29:21.going on and I am sure we'll get some news. Shaunae Miller knows
:29:22. > :29:24.she's got this in hand and knows she'll have a battle in that final
:29:25. > :29:29.against Allyson Felix, who we will see coming up later in one of the
:29:30. > :29:33.semi-finals. That should be a real battle between those two.
:29:34. > :29:40.Allyson Felix coming up in the next semifinal. Zoey Clark will be in the
:29:41. > :29:42.third. Let's tidy that up. The Olympic champion winning, very
:29:43. > :29:46.comfortable. McPherson taking second spot. And Hayes, the US champion,
:29:47. > :29:59.50. 71. The women's triple jump final, 14.55
:30:00. > :30:12.in the first round. Trailing 14.60 seven. That's better, though. The
:30:13. > :30:18.battle of the South Americans. It is playing out as anticipated. 14.67,
:30:19. > :30:29.the league is under threat. She has evened out her phases
:30:30. > :30:36.somewhat, carrying the speed through into the job very well. 14.98,
:30:37. > :30:38.silver last year in Rio. You can see the speed continuing into the jump
:30:39. > :30:44.and is giving her plenty of distance. Lots more to come from the
:30:45. > :30:56.young Venezuelan, going into the gold medal position. 14.82 in the
:30:57. > :31:00.second round. So, what can the reigning champion do to respond?
:31:01. > :31:08.She's had her lead taken away. Hitting the ball well. Well, it is
:31:09. > :31:17.shy of the gold mine -- hitting the board well. Similar to her first
:31:18. > :31:21.round jump of 14.60 seven. -- of the gold line. The battle of the South
:31:22. > :31:27.Americans. It is also experienced versus youth. Ibarguen is the most
:31:28. > :31:36.experienced triple jump, at 33 years of age. Rojas, raw and talented, in
:31:37. > :31:45.the gold medal position. Ibarguen relegated to silver at the moment.
:31:46. > :31:50.But four jumps remaining. 14.69, a slight improvement for Ibarguen.
:31:51. > :31:55.Nearing the end of things on this rather cool Monday night in the East
:31:56. > :32:00.End of London, looking down at the stadium. A wonderful site, heading
:32:01. > :32:06.further west, towards the centre of the city. Just four races left. The
:32:07. > :32:12.next is the second semifinal of the women's 400-metre hurdles. In front
:32:13. > :32:19.of a capacity crowd. Conditions are pretty good. It's a little bit cool.
:32:20. > :32:26.Look out for Naser of Bahrain as well in lane seven.
:32:27. > :32:36.There is Shericka Jackson. Bronze in the last World Championships and
:32:37. > :32:44.Olympics behind a big two, Allyson Felix and Miller-Uibo. Felix is
:32:45. > :32:49.winning in 2005, 2007 and 2009. 400 champion in Beijing four years ago
:32:50. > :33:01.and an Olympic 200-metre champion here five years ago. But the Olympic
:33:02. > :33:08.400 metres escaped in Rio. Nirmla, from northern India. 51.28 this
:33:09. > :33:14.season. Lydia Jele of Botswana, some way down on her season's best time
:33:15. > :33:21.of 50.30 two. In qualifying she was 51.40 one. Get a closer look of
:33:22. > :33:29.Naser of Bahrain in lane seven. Vasiliou is in lane six. Ajayi of
:33:30. > :33:33.Nigeria in lane eight. Williams-Mills in nine, the
:33:34. > :33:41.Jamaican. Allyson Felix is in four. Keep an eye on Naser, the
:33:42. > :33:51.19-year-old in seven. Running a personal best previously.
:33:52. > :33:57.The second semifinal in the women's 400-metre hurdles. There is Naser in
:33:58. > :34:01.lane seven with the blonde hair. Look at Allyson Felix, look at her
:34:02. > :34:06.go, passing Shericka Jackson already. Allyson Felix is moving
:34:07. > :34:11.along so well, Jackson trying to respond and doing so at the moment.
:34:12. > :34:18.Two automatic qualifying places. Jackson responds. Felix sitting
:34:19. > :34:23.alongside her. Felix with that long stride, a graceful sprinter, moving
:34:24. > :34:29.around the bend. But Naser is still there and so is Williams-Mills, the
:34:30. > :34:34.35-year-old Jamaican on the outside. Two automatic places. Felix in the
:34:35. > :34:38.clear but here comes Naser. Jackson trying to get there but Naser coming
:34:39. > :34:47.through. Allyson Felix well... No, Naser takes it. 50.0 eight. It was a
:34:48. > :34:53.huge personal best to come down to 50.57 in the first round. This
:34:54. > :34:59.19-year-old from Bahrain has just run 50.0 eight. A huge national
:35:00. > :35:05.record. Astonishing time. She's beaten Allyson Felix. In the final
:35:06. > :35:12.is when it matters and Felix had a little bit to spare but not much,
:35:13. > :35:20.50.0 eight. We highlighted Naser the horse and -- Naser beforehand and we
:35:21. > :35:23.will see her in the final. This was astonishing from Naser. Absolutely
:35:24. > :35:28.astonishing from the 18-year-old. Allyson Felix was a little bit
:35:29. > :35:33.different, running quickly down the back stretch. She has the gas on
:35:34. > :35:38.here right now but you'll see that she's sort of comes off the gas, I
:35:39. > :35:45.think she thought they were running to quickly. She sought Naser. Right
:35:46. > :35:53.here, Felix takes her foot off the gas a little bit thinking that she's
:35:54. > :35:58.not this. -- she saw Naser. Naser on the outside, third from the left,
:35:59. > :36:06.now just racing down the home stretch. A very good race here. Nice
:36:07. > :36:10.technique. Strong, able to hold her speed down the home stretch. Allyson
:36:11. > :36:15.Felix she's that she gained on her and has to get back in, going to the
:36:16. > :36:21.afterburners but not able to win this. A very quick heat. Felix out
:36:22. > :36:27.of the blocks quickly, she has the 200 metres speed she can use, a lot
:36:28. > :36:33.quicker than most of the other athletes in the heat. Nice and
:36:34. > :36:38.relaxed down the back stretch. Let's see if we can see, just after 200,
:36:39. > :36:44.she starts to slow down, her arms dropped a little bit, she starts to
:36:45. > :36:48.relax round the bend. I'm not sure of that particular strategy. Maybe
:36:49. > :36:51.working on a couple of different things in anticipation of what she
:36:52. > :36:57.may get from Miller-Uibo in the final. We see her now in control of
:36:58. > :37:02.the race, checking the big screen but then she has to kick back in
:37:03. > :37:07.right there. Someone is coming up on me and I have to kick back in and
:37:08. > :37:13.that's tough, a tough way to win. We talked about that in some of the
:37:14. > :37:17.other rounds of the 400 metres. Easy qualification for Allyson Felix,
:37:18. > :37:21.she'll be in the final but it was an amazing run by the young
:37:22. > :37:33.18-year-old. Fantastic running there. Very interesting run. Naser,
:37:34. > :37:39.50.0 eight. Felix has a bit more to give but Naser is a contender.
:37:40. > :37:44.Williams-Mills and Jackson, the Jamaicans can adjust faster than
:37:45. > :37:50.Hayes, so the American is out -- the Americans, just faster than Hayes.
:37:51. > :37:56.It has been billed as the battle between Venezuela and Colombia but
:37:57. > :38:02.Rypakova of Kazakhstan can spoil the South American party. She's done
:38:03. > :38:07.that in the past. 14.45 in the first round. Trailing the South Americans
:38:08. > :38:15.in the second round. We're into the third. Good extension there and
:38:16. > :38:23.that's a big effort. That is going to threaten, maybe not for the lead,
:38:24. > :38:29.which is Rojas at the moment, 14.80 two. Staying warm. Just locked
:38:30. > :38:35.herself slightly in the second phase. What should be happening, she
:38:36. > :38:41.should be leading with her thigh, rather than her foot. In the hot
:38:42. > :38:46.phase, leading with the thigh and in the step phase, leading with the
:38:47. > :38:49.third, slightly ahead of the hips. Difficult to maintain speed. The
:38:50. > :38:55.critical thing is maintaining speed into the jump from the step phase.
:38:56. > :39:02.14.77, a season's best, she goes into second place. There is
:39:03. > :39:06.Ibarguen, relegated to third. You've been studying the phases, Toni, what
:39:07. > :39:15.have you made of the difference between Rojas and Ibarguen? Both
:39:16. > :39:21.hopping the same distance, 5.0 but the step phase is the difference,
:39:22. > :39:24.and the jump phase, Rojas has a better job phase. It is like
:39:25. > :39:37.Ibarguen should sacrifice a bit of step so she can have more for the
:39:38. > :39:46.jump phase. Now to the third of the three semifinals.
:39:47. > :39:59.Zoey Clark of Great Britain. There is Zoey Clark. What a year she's
:40:00. > :40:04.had, I don't think she could have imagined this at the start of the
:40:05. > :40:10.season, winning the British trials, 400 personal best, 200 personal
:40:11. > :40:18.best. Gordon from Jamaica, winning the NCAA. Could be a threat here.
:40:19. > :40:29.Montsho, former world champion, pipped by Christine Ohuruogu in
:40:30. > :40:35.2013. 14-16, she is back. Not that welcome, I guess. Francis of the
:40:36. > :40:39.United States, will she run better than Hayes did. We saw Allyson Felix
:40:40. > :40:46.as well, going well, but just missing out on winning her semi.
:40:47. > :40:51.Mupopo, the African champion, a new personal best this year in the 200
:40:52. > :41:01.metres which may help her this year. Spell my of Germany. When you luck
:41:02. > :41:06.through this semifinal, I know that Zoey Clark is actually the slowest
:41:07. > :41:16.on the season's best in this. But she is in lane eight, with running
:41:17. > :41:22.well this year and was close in qualification to her personal best.
:41:23. > :41:31.The race of her life here. If a couple of others don't run well.
:41:32. > :41:35.Hayes didn't, she is out. 100th of a second in terms of the fastest
:41:36. > :41:46.losers. She isn't in but Felix is, so they are watching.
:41:47. > :42:01.Gordon from the University of Texas, running for Jamaica here.
:42:02. > :42:07.So, Zoey Clark will certainly have the crowd cheering her through this.
:42:08. > :42:16.She certainly tapped it in the first 100. Bamgbose on the outside.
:42:17. > :42:20.Francis is going very well in the middle, the American moving away
:42:21. > :42:26.from Mupopo. Montsho is in the mix as well. Zoey Clark will have to try
:42:27. > :42:32.and battle and get at least a personal best here. Mupopo is trying
:42:33. > :42:37.to chase down, she is in four. Francis is leading it. And going
:42:38. > :42:43.very well now, Francis, looking strong. Is she going to hold it?
:42:44. > :42:48.Pressure from Mupopo. First two go through. Gordon trying to get there
:42:49. > :42:53.but they are pulling away. Clark finishing well, she may be fifth
:42:54. > :42:58.here. The American wins it, perhaps six or seven for Clark. 50.39, the
:42:59. > :43:09.winning time. A couple of outstanding athletes. The young
:43:10. > :43:16.Bahrain athlete throwing her way in, surely it is going to be between
:43:17. > :43:23.Felix and Miller-Uibo. Just waiting for the time to come up for Zoey
:43:24. > :43:28.Clark. I think very close to her personal best, if it isn't. It may
:43:29. > :43:37.be only 100 or so. It is a personal best. Yeah this is... Francis was
:43:38. > :43:41.always going to be the favourite for this race but I think you're right,
:43:42. > :43:49.Steve, it is shaping up to be an amazing battle between Miller-Uibo
:43:50. > :43:54.and Felix. Francis will put herself in the mix. Struggling a bit here,
:43:55. > :44:01.looking a bit slow coming down the home stretch but great strategy,
:44:02. > :44:08.putting herself in the mix. Montsho on the right-hand side. Former
:44:09. > :44:14.world-beater at 400 metres. Struggling. Francis always runs this
:44:15. > :44:18.way, you can see the rotation from right to left. That's think she'll
:44:19. > :44:23.have to rectify if she to get some faster times and started to mix it
:44:24. > :44:27.up with the likes of Allyson Felix and Miller-Uibo. Still, great
:44:28. > :44:46.qualifying by Francis there. Rojas, 14.82 in the second round.
:44:47. > :44:54.Rallying support from a big crowd again here inside the Olympic
:44:55. > :44:57.Stadium. She is out in front. It's time may to stretch out and try and
:44:58. > :45:04.create a gap between her and the rest of the field. Round three. The
:45:05. > :45:11.event leader, Rojas. Again just chopping slightly. Another big
:45:12. > :45:17.effort. Bang on the gold line that is hers.
:45:18. > :45:28.That's good. Reaching, that active foot back underneath. She carries as
:45:29. > :45:36.much speed as she can in the pit. Space on the board. Maybe more to
:45:37. > :45:40.come from Rojas. The flamboyant indoor champion. She can do it when
:45:41. > :45:47.it matters. She's in the lead and extended it. Rojas, at the halfway
:45:48. > :45:57.stage, out in front. Are we witnessing a changing of the guard?
:45:58. > :46:12.Ibarguen looking to respond. Oh, it is a bigs effort.
:46:13. > :46:32.Really big jump from Ibarguen here. Works off that final phase and into
:46:33. > :46:38.the pit. It is 14.89 for Ibarguen. We have a competition, no Brits
:46:39. > :46:42.involved, unfortunately. You can throw a halt over the first
:46:43. > :46:49.two, at least. Season's best for Ibarguen. Six centimetres between
:46:50. > :46:58.gold and silver. Three jumps remaining.
:46:59. > :47:04.Confirmation of the result: Gordon will be disappointed with
:47:05. > :47:12.that. Zoey Clark taken 300ths off her personal best. Let's look at the
:47:13. > :47:24.qualifiers. As I said, Shaunae Miller-Uibo, the champion.
:47:25. > :47:28.Look at Williams-Mills. This will be her sixth World Championship final
:47:29. > :47:35.at the age of 35, going through as the fastest loser.
:47:36. > :47:46.# No-one to run to, baby... Laura Muir doing what she does
:47:47. > :47:52.best... She's a class above everybody. Oh, my word! She's
:47:53. > :47:57.smashed the British record. This is a display of distance at its very
:47:58. > :48:05.best. She has a chance to make a bit of history.
:48:06. > :48:22.Laura Muir will be going in about 31 minutes' time. This stadium is
:48:23. > :48:26.anticipating, well the world of athletics is looking forward to it.
:48:27. > :48:32.She will need to warm up because the temperature has dropped. There's
:48:33. > :48:35.Semenya settlement Laura Weightman in the back-- there's Caster
:48:36. > :48:41.Semenya, and Jake Wightman in the background.
:48:42. > :48:47.Caster Semenya we have seen dominate at 800 metres when she races and
:48:48. > :48:52.well now, the 1500 metres lies in wait for her.
:48:53. > :48:56.I mean truly, these are the names of 1500 middle distance running and
:48:57. > :49:02.they are all going to be lining up. It really is a loaded field.
:49:03. > :49:13.Of course you wouldn't have a race without Genzebe Dibaba. Look at that
:49:14. > :49:26.time the second fastest in the field is Laura Muir, which you cannot base
:49:27. > :49:30.it on paper, Hassan will be a certain contender. It is hard to
:49:31. > :49:35.separate these athletes. Caster Semenya, we have seen her run over
:49:36. > :49:40.the years dominate racing. She decided to go for the 1500 metres.
:49:41. > :49:42.When ever she races controversy is never that far away. Here's Phil
:49:43. > :49:52.Jones. Laura Muir triumph in the 1500
:49:53. > :49:58.metres final, a new headline act will be born. Another scenario could
:49:59. > :50:02.see a more controversial outcome, involving an athlete used to
:50:03. > :50:07.dominating the front and back pages. Caster Semenya has raced through a
:50:08. > :50:14.career dogged by accusations and recriminations. Eight years ago she
:50:15. > :50:18.announced her athletic prowess to the world, aged 18, having found
:50:19. > :50:24.herself at the centres over her gender. All the controversy could be
:50:25. > :50:32.behind her. She is going to dominate at this event. Controversies aside
:50:33. > :50:35.for the time being. With World Championship gold and rapidly
:50:36. > :50:40.improving times her identity was ever more scrutinised. The burning
:50:41. > :50:46.question, was she in fact a he? It wasn't really good for me, for
:50:47. > :50:57.publicity to become a world champion and you never celebrate it. So it --
:50:58. > :51:01.she was asked to take a sex verifiation test. She was declared
:51:02. > :51:06.ineligible for competition pending the outcome. I felt humiliated. At
:51:07. > :51:11.the end of the day you cannot control what people think. 11 months
:51:12. > :51:19.passed when the IAAF announced Semenya was clear to run. While the
:51:20. > :51:24.sport was introduced new regulations testing testosterone levels, Semenya
:51:25. > :51:28.was back winning silver. Another silver followed in London, 2012,
:51:29. > :51:33.which will likely become gold after the Russian was stripped for the
:51:34. > :51:38.title for doping. Semenya's biggest golden moment outright would come
:51:39. > :51:42.four years later at Rio. Her time eclipsing anything she had
:51:43. > :51:47.previously run. Semenya steps on the accelerator! Semenya is the
:51:48. > :51:49.champion. For those who chased the first three home that night
:51:50. > :51:56.questions over testosterone levels remained. The medallists were in one
:51:57. > :52:00.camp. The next three finishers united in another, in suspicion and
:52:01. > :52:04.perceived inequality. It is out of our control and very much relying on
:52:05. > :52:11.the people at the top sorting it out. I think the public can see as
:52:12. > :52:16.well... Sorry! Like, just how difficult it is.
:52:17. > :52:22.The debate continues to make headlines, with newly commissioned
:52:23. > :52:27.research by the IAAF of a naturally occurring levels of testosterone
:52:28. > :52:33.suggesting 800-metre runners have a 1.8% advantage. And while that
:52:34. > :52:37.evidence is being considered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, all
:52:38. > :52:42.Semenya can do is simply be herself. What I dream of is to become a
:52:43. > :52:46.Olympic champion, a world champion. I can't stop running because of
:52:47. > :52:50.people. I can not stop because of people say, she looks like a man,
:52:51. > :52:56.this and that. You understand. It is their own problem. Not mine.
:52:57. > :53:00.Caster Semenya said it is their problem, it is not mine. She had her
:53:01. > :53:06.time away from the sport. She's come back. There still is this cloud,
:53:07. > :53:12.that the IAAF is still looking into this situation. Where are they at
:53:13. > :53:18.now? First of all, it is a complete minefield. To find a way out of
:53:19. > :53:22.this, that is fair to everybody, is pretty much impossible. So, what
:53:23. > :53:29.they have to do is find a way that is fair to the majority and respect
:53:30. > :53:33.the rights of everybody. And it's really, really difficult. Looking on
:53:34. > :53:39.the VT there with Lindsey and when she breaks down, because it's pretty
:53:40. > :53:46.much impossible for Lindsey Sharp or for some of the girls with normal
:53:47. > :53:49.levels of testosterone to compete on a level playing field with the girls
:53:50. > :53:55.with elevated testosterone levels. It's that big of a performance
:53:56. > :54:00.enhancer. Even if it is only 1.8%, that is still a couple of seconds
:54:01. > :54:04.and that in racing is the difference between a medal and no medal. Of
:54:05. > :54:07.course if you were artificially ingesting that level of testosterone
:54:08. > :54:15.it would be seen as an unfair advantage and it would be, you'd be
:54:16. > :54:24.doping. We saw in 2012 Caster Semenya winning a silver medal... .
:54:25. > :54:29.: There are a lot of things in the mix there. This is the biggest issue
:54:30. > :54:32.here, this naturally produced testosterone. Within that there's a
:54:33. > :54:35.range of women who can use that testosterone and those who cannot
:54:36. > :54:39.use that testosterone. And those that can't use it don't get the
:54:40. > :54:44.advantage from it. And so then you have to look after those people's
:54:45. > :54:50.rights in there as well. And it is just so complicated. And on no
:54:51. > :54:54.foaled of play is this fair -- and in no field of play is this fair.
:54:55. > :54:59.And no press dented in any other sport where you say, this is what
:55:00. > :55:03.happened in this sport, this is very unique problem. Sorry, challenge,
:55:04. > :55:07.let's say. It is a problem because it causes controversy. It is in
:55:08. > :55:12.other sports as well. It is in weight lifting and boxing.
:55:13. > :55:16.But the thing is, is there's no, I can't think of a single solution to
:55:17. > :55:20.this. I mean, what is the solution to
:55:21. > :55:28.this, where everyone is treated fairly? The Lynsey Sharp interview,
:55:29. > :55:34.that was tough to listen to. At the same time what's the solution to
:55:35. > :55:40.rectifying this for Lynsey Sharp? There isn't one, because Caster
:55:41. > :55:45.Semenya is - it's not her fault and there's, you can't take her right to
:55:46. > :55:50.compete away from her. It's a tough one. There are some
:55:51. > :55:53.challenges at the end of the day, they are some challenges that there
:55:54. > :55:58.are no solution for. I think this is one of them. The solution they would
:55:59. > :56:02.put on the table is the solution that was there in the past, that if,
:56:03. > :56:06.as a female, you have elevated testosterone levels, you have to
:56:07. > :56:10.take medication to bring your testosterone levels back down within
:56:11. > :56:14.that range to be able to compete. And yes, on some levels, that's
:56:15. > :56:21.looked at as a performance dehappenser, if we can use that
:56:22. > :56:26.word. It -- dehancer, if we can use that word. Maybe we have to talk
:56:27. > :56:36.about certain females, it is the same as what... When women have the
:56:37. > :56:40.time of the month - that can have a detrimental effect too. You are
:56:41. > :56:43.right. There's no fair answer. You hear from Caster Semenya herself, it
:56:44. > :56:48.is emotional. She's been dragged through this for so many years and
:56:49. > :56:52.we are debating about it. We are not the scientists. We are not the
:56:53. > :56:56.scientists. Should she win tonight this whole thing explodes again. It
:56:57. > :57:01.is front-page news. It will be just awful. It is, because there are no
:57:02. > :57:10.edifying headlines that can come from that, are there? It seems, as
:57:11. > :57:13.you say, it seems unfair to everyone, her included justifying
:57:14. > :57:18.the way she was born. How can you say to somebody, you are wrong? It
:57:19. > :57:23.is that. We don't fit into categories. As athletes we don't fit
:57:24. > :57:28.into normal categories. I guess what they are trying to do amongst all of
:57:29. > :57:31.this is be fair, as I say, you cannot be fair to everybody. They
:57:32. > :57:34.are trying to be fair to the majority of athletes and find a
:57:35. > :57:39.solution. That solution may come in September. Before then, we may have
:57:40. > :57:44.her winning two events. She could set the world record here. Thank you
:57:45. > :57:51.very much for the moment. Let's go outside. The roars were of the
:57:52. > :57:55.110-metre hurdlers and Aries Merritt has been in this stadium before. He
:57:56. > :58:04.knows what it is like to win here. The world record-holder. What a five
:58:05. > :58:09.years he's had to get to this point. Over to our commentary team. Colin
:58:10. > :58:15.Jackson knows something about winning these championships.
:58:16. > :58:24.Aries Merritt revealed a couple of years ago he was suffering from a
:58:25. > :58:27.kidney disorder. He won bronze at those World Championships and
:58:28. > :58:33.immediately after he had a kidney operation. In 2012 he had it all in
:58:34. > :58:39.hurdling. He was the record-holder, 12.80. That stands. He was world
:58:40. > :58:44.indoor champion. He's never won the world indoor championships. But the
:58:45. > :58:53.man he has to beat and the others have to try and catch is Omar
:58:54. > :58:55.McLeod, the Olympic champion. In hurdles there are favourites and
:58:56. > :59:00.Omar McLeod is the man to beat here. This is the event of so many
:59:01. > :59:13.variables. It takes one click of a barrier for it all to come undone.
:59:14. > :59:20.The second to last track event, that 1500 metre final to come. The 110
:59:21. > :59:46.metres hurdle final is about to go. And this is how they line up:
:59:47. > :59:55.Running as a neutral, Shubenkov. The fastest loser in the semifinal.
:59:56. > :00:02.Ortega has looked impressive. Silver Medal in Rio. McLeod, Olympic
:00:03. > :00:10.champion, the fastest man in the world this year. Such raw speed.
:00:11. > :00:15.Baji, the Hungarian. Because of his great run in the semifinals, he led
:00:16. > :00:21.Aries Merritt home there. He may be struggling against him inside and
:00:22. > :00:30.outside. Dari and, suffering injuries -- Darien. Brathwaite of
:00:31. > :00:38.Barbados, coming through with 13.26, a season's best. This may be the man
:00:39. > :00:43.for Jamaica, if Parchment can get it right on the big occasion, bronze
:00:44. > :00:51.five years ago and silver at the World Championships in Beijing. But
:00:52. > :01:08.a very popular figure. Aries Merritt loves the stadium.
:01:09. > :01:22.Waiting for their final race. Dari, a last cry of encouragement --
:01:23. > :01:31.Darien. Shubenkov, McLeod, Baji. Brathwaite, Parchment. Aries Merritt
:01:32. > :01:34.is in lane nine. Can Merritt finally win his first world title? Jamaica
:01:35. > :01:41.still waiting for their first gold of the Championships. Is McLeod the
:01:42. > :01:49.man to deliver? The final of the men's 110-metre hurdles.
:01:50. > :01:58.McLeod at quickly as he always is, Baji is already losing contact.
:01:59. > :02:04.Shubenkov trying to get there. It is McLeod and Shubenkov, but it is
:02:05. > :02:10.McLeod who celebrates the gold. Olympic champion, world champion.
:02:11. > :02:16.The Jamaican flags can fly at last. A valiant defence from Shubenkov of
:02:17. > :02:22.his world title but the Olympic champion is the world champion. Omar
:02:23. > :02:26.McLeod from Shubenkov, from Baji, who takes the bronze for Hungary.
:02:27. > :02:35.Nothing for Aries Merritt here on this track this time. McLeod, the
:02:36. > :02:43.world champion. What a run by Omar McLeod. The world leader, only one
:02:44. > :02:48.fault, caused by cramp, during the season. Arriving here as a
:02:49. > :02:52.favourite. When you've got those barriers in front of you, the
:02:53. > :02:56.challenge and the pressure is magnified. Look at the celebrations,
:02:57. > :03:01.the Jamaicans are thinking at last, we are on the board. Is this a
:03:02. > :03:07.starting point for them to claim some of those medals back? That
:03:08. > :03:14.might be Omar McLeod's mother. Your Championship record is safe, Colin!
:03:15. > :03:19.McLeod becomes the world champion, the Olympic champion adding the
:03:20. > :03:22.world champion. Shubenkov, we said he had looked very impressive in the
:03:23. > :03:27.heat and semifinal but he was getting faster and he timed his run
:03:28. > :03:33.so well. Aries Merritt, it didn't happen for him. Not winning a medal
:03:34. > :03:41.here. He was finishing strongly but a fifth place eventually behind
:03:42. > :03:45.Darien and Baji, who took bronze. I was saying he'd had quite a stellar
:03:46. > :03:51.season. Something switched on in the semifinal. He beat Aries Merritt and
:03:52. > :03:57.he thought to himself, I am one of the best high hurdle is in the world
:03:58. > :04:01.and I have a chance. Trying to have a clean, safe race and if you do
:04:02. > :04:05.that you can be rewarded with a medal. Shubenkov on the outside,
:04:06. > :04:13.he's won this title before and doesn't want to give it up. Omar
:04:14. > :04:17.McLeod, nimble over the barriers. He knows he must keep focused, he knows
:04:18. > :04:21.that if he doesn't make a mistake he can get the title and he wins it
:04:22. > :04:29.clearly. Shubenkov is clearly in second place. Everyone else, a photo
:04:30. > :04:35.finish, a dash to the line. So close for third to sixth. Shubenkov
:04:36. > :04:39.doesn't seem to have that raw speed any more, a couple of tenths of a
:04:40. > :04:43.second missing from his best. And when you've missed so much training,
:04:44. > :04:47.he has been ill, he had to come through the transplant. All these
:04:48. > :04:52.things that would tell when it comes to the pressure of the occasion.
:04:53. > :04:57.Slightly out of breath after round after round, it can count. The other
:04:58. > :05:04.athletes will be disappointed, in particular Darien, who was in place
:05:05. > :05:09.for the bronze medal but the last two barriers were his undoing.
:05:10. > :05:14.McLeod is free, a great run for Shubenkov but look at Dari and over
:05:15. > :05:17.the last couple of barriers. He chatters it and hold it back and it
:05:18. > :05:22.literally pulls you back when you hit the hurdles. Really frustrating.
:05:23. > :05:30.Sometimes people had a different technique where they can ride the
:05:31. > :05:35.barriers down. But Dari and -- Darien committee has to sit back,
:05:36. > :05:41.that sitting back technique. Every time he gets one he goes further and
:05:42. > :05:47.further back. McLeod on the far right, look how he's just nipping
:05:48. > :05:52.over them, using his leg speed. Look at that, he's so relieved. It's
:05:53. > :05:59.amazing technique when you look because he isn't a tall man for a
:06:00. > :06:02.hurdler. He has gone fractionally below ten seconds over 100 metres,
:06:03. > :06:08.he has the speed between the barriers. He reminds me of an
:06:09. > :06:14.American hurdler, Arthur Blake, with a similar technique. Good leg speed.
:06:15. > :06:21.Look at that, so happy to see him getting the medal. Well, where Usain
:06:22. > :06:30.Bolt couldn't manage it, McLeod delivers for Jamaica. Very, very
:06:31. > :06:39.close as well behind McLeod. What a great title defence from the neutral
:06:40. > :06:47.athlete, Shubenkov. That stumble from Darien over the last couple of
:06:48. > :06:58.barriers. We're into the fifth round of this women's triple jump final.
:06:59. > :07:04.Huge extrovert, Rojas. Just 21 years of age. Olympic Silver Medal est
:07:05. > :07:16.last year. She's chasing the lead of de Waard when -- de Waard when.
:07:17. > :07:21.14.80 nine. Roger as, short steps. A big effort. Looks like she was
:07:22. > :07:25.slightly off the strike there. What she did do was keep the momentum
:07:26. > :07:32.going. Even though it seemed like a short step, she was so quick on the
:07:33. > :07:35.board she maintained the effort. That is a change from last year, an
:07:36. > :07:40.improvement in her technique but is it an improvement in the distance?
:07:41. > :07:46.Sitting at the top of the leaderboard in the triple jump
:07:47. > :07:53.final. At the moment, 14.80 nine. Waiting for the measurement of
:07:54. > :08:03.Rojas. Nervous moments, one job remaining. 14.90 Rojas goes into the
:08:04. > :08:10.lead. -- 14.90 one. Taking the lead away from this athlete, Ibarguen.
:08:11. > :08:16.The reorder after three rounds means that Ibarguen will be jumping last
:08:17. > :08:21.so she has a chance to respond now and in the final round. This is the
:08:22. > :08:27.penultimate round. Ibarguen responding to the best job so far,
:08:28. > :08:32.from Rojas. Collapsing slightly. Running faster there. Crowding the
:08:33. > :08:41.board a little bit on that jump. Didn't quite swing, a little bit or
:08:42. > :08:49.forward rotation, tipping forward. It doesn't look like it's going to
:08:50. > :08:56.challenge all believe. 14.91, Rojas. That was 14.71, so no improvement
:08:57. > :09:02.for Ibarguen. One jump remaining. What a competition is unfolding
:09:03. > :09:06.here. Front on, Ibarguen, the champion, looking for her third
:09:07. > :09:11.victory. Short on the last step, you can see the collapse on the hopping
:09:12. > :09:17.phase. Ten times body weight going through that single leg. Susan's
:09:18. > :09:18.best not good enough -- season's best not good enough, but one more
:09:19. > :09:32.jump to come. STUDIO: So, there you go, there are
:09:33. > :09:36.the runners and riders, the women who are going to be out on the track
:09:37. > :09:45.ready for the 1500 metres final at 9:50pm. The list of personal bests
:09:46. > :09:53.is incredible, the talent that is in there. Laura Muir has the second
:09:54. > :09:58.quickest on paper against Dibaba, an incredible 3:50.0 seven. Where will
:09:59. > :10:03.it go in terms of time? Is it going to be a quick race? Who is going to
:10:04. > :10:12.take it out, Paula? It's really up in the air. Logically, I don't see
:10:13. > :10:17.why every other girl in the race would let it go slowly apart from
:10:18. > :10:23.Semenya. We saw the damage that was done with the 1.56 800 metres in
:10:24. > :10:27.that part of the race. Caster Semenya is going to be laughing at
:10:28. > :10:31.that, it will be easy for her. The only way they can run the sting out
:10:32. > :10:35.of her is to make it hard early on but I don't see who's going to do
:10:36. > :10:39.it. Laura Weightman is coached by Steve Cram. So I imagine they've
:10:40. > :10:44.been talking about tactics. Have they shared anything with you about
:10:45. > :10:48.how Laura would like to run the race? They aren't going to hear it
:10:49. > :10:55.so you can tell us! I don't think Laura Weightman... I don't think she
:10:56. > :11:02.knows that a slow race isn't going to suit her. She is going to see it.
:11:03. > :11:06.She's going to run at a good pace. I haven't asked her that, I wished her
:11:07. > :11:11.luck, I said she's in the best shape she's been in, she has the stadium
:11:12. > :11:17.behind her. As well as the other Laura. She is in a World
:11:18. > :11:24.Championship final, she has been in an Olympic final before, she must
:11:25. > :11:27.just race hard and see what happens. The real laying the cards on the
:11:28. > :11:36.table is going to come from the other athletes. Is Laura Muir going
:11:37. > :11:40.to go for it? All of those, Simpson, I can't see Hassan taking it on,
:11:41. > :11:43.Kipyegon isn't going to take it on, Dibaba might have but she didn't
:11:44. > :11:48.look good at all. I don't think we're going to see her run from the
:11:49. > :11:52.semi but she didn't look convincing at all, she was the one working the
:11:53. > :11:57.hardest and was only through as the fastest loser. Definitely not in the
:11:58. > :12:05.3.50 shape that was on the board. Did you want to come in but Jim at
:12:06. > :12:10.Paula answered my question. She tends to hang back but with her new
:12:11. > :12:16.training base, she's moved to Portland? She's made a lot of
:12:17. > :12:20.changes, she's training will be Li with Alberto Salazar in Portland.
:12:21. > :12:24.Training for the 5000 metres, she could have come here in three
:12:25. > :12:29.events, she's very strong commit she's fit. She's struggled with
:12:30. > :12:34.injury problems last year. She's a much improved athlete to last year.
:12:35. > :12:39.She normally hangs at the back. She will probably do that now to see how
:12:40. > :12:44.things settle but she's very capable of taking it on and racing hard as
:12:45. > :12:47.well. Michael, we quite often see in the big events like the worlds and
:12:48. > :12:51.Olympics, accidents happen on the way to the final and you don't
:12:52. > :12:55.always get the women or menu wants to be in the final. To have
:12:56. > :12:59.everybody out there on the track who should be there because of their
:13:00. > :13:04.times and performances, it feels like we have that moment. Yes, this
:13:05. > :13:07.was always going to be one of the races at this Championship that
:13:08. > :13:13.would be hotly contested with some big names. They all showed up. It
:13:14. > :13:18.will be a close race and that gets people on their feet. We saw that in
:13:19. > :13:21.the women's 100 metres last night, despite the controversy around the
:13:22. > :13:25.men's 100 metres, we saw that and that is what the fans want to see,
:13:26. > :13:34.they love competition. This is what we need more of in athletics, just
:13:35. > :13:41.coming to see Mo Farah and Usain Bolt. Karen and CDs great athletes
:13:42. > :13:46.trying to -- come and CDs great athletes trying to win a medal and
:13:47. > :13:50.only one of them can win. That said, it is a race, it is strategic, it
:13:51. > :13:57.isn't a Diamond League race, it isn't one where people have to think
:13:58. > :14:00.about pacemakers. It is pure. There is a Venezuelan and Colombian
:14:01. > :14:08.ding-dong going on in the triple jump. COMMENTATOR: It is indeed,
:14:09. > :14:11.Venezuela have never won a medal in the World Championships. Taking
:14:12. > :14:22.bronze last night. That is their first. Bronze in the pole vault.
:14:23. > :14:28.Now, Rojas is out in front. She is the event leader, 14.91, just two
:14:29. > :14:32.centimetres ahead of Ibarguen who will get to respond to whatever
:14:33. > :14:39.Rojas can do right here and now. The crowd are on their feet. The crowd
:14:40. > :14:45.have been really across this entire triple jump competition. Rojas, the
:14:46. > :14:52.last round, to extend her lead. Again, quick on the approach but it
:14:53. > :15:00.is a shorter effort. Shorter than her leading jump and she has left
:15:01. > :15:02.the door open. No more for her to do to fight off the challenge of the
:15:03. > :15:12.reigning champion, Ibarguen. Lost the position in that hop. The
:15:13. > :15:19.leg dropped and then didn't have the impetus to come away into the second
:15:20. > :15:23.phase. Well, a tough position, that. She's
:15:24. > :15:29.out in front. 1491 in the fifth round. That's her best so far. Two
:15:30. > :15:37.centimetres ahead of the Columbian. It is as predicted. The battle
:15:38. > :15:48.between those two. So then, the most decorated triple
:15:49. > :15:51.jumper in the women's version, Caterine Ibarguen. Twice world
:15:52. > :16:01.champion. Looking to make it a third. She will need a jump between
:16:02. > :16:08.14. 91. Oh! Maybe not quite enough.
:16:09. > :16:13.Difficult to tell. Those lines, if they are accurate, it looked shy to
:16:14. > :16:22.me. Ibarguen... It is, it is 14. 88.
:16:23. > :16:24.Wow! Really close. A great performance. There's your reaction.
:16:25. > :16:54.I told you she was flamboyant! Venezuela, now a gold for Yulimar
:16:55. > :17:00.Rojas. Champion of the world. Great scenes T crowd have enjoyed
:17:01. > :17:08.that competition. Didn't go beyond the 15-metre mark, as anticipated.
:17:09. > :17:12.Yulimar Rojas, of Venezuela, silver in Rio, takes gold here at the World
:17:13. > :17:24.Championships. Fantastic scenes out there. Rojas
:17:25. > :17:29.winning gold for Venezuela. Ibarguen looks delighted to be involved in a
:17:30. > :17:33.great head-to-head. It was a great head-to-head. These two have battled
:17:34. > :17:40.for a while now. Both great athletes. A fantastic competition
:17:41. > :17:45.between those two. The 1500 women are not messing around in their
:17:46. > :17:50.entrance tonight. This is, if it is in ig to go by, it will be a quick
:17:51. > :17:55.race! They have been couped up in the room. They want to get out, do
:17:56. > :17:59.some strides. Make their way, 200 metres around the track and get the
:18:00. > :18:07.racing under way. A lot of adrenaline. A lot of nerves build up
:18:08. > :18:11.in the room. Being stuck there... Is shorter distances like to show off a
:18:12. > :18:15.little bit more from the middle distances. That could be part of it.
:18:16. > :18:19.It could be like these guys are like, we don't have time for that.
:18:20. > :18:26.This is serious business - 1500 metres. You try and run 1500 metres.
:18:27. > :18:32.Don't want to be posing. Paula, can you call it for us? I am too
:18:33. > :18:40.nervous! I mean call the result - I don't mean comment tat on the race!
:18:41. > :18:46.She knew what you meant! It is one of the most unpredictable finals of
:18:47. > :18:53.these championships and we can't wait. Nor can the commentary team.ly
:18:54. > :18:58.happened you over now. -- I will hand you over now.
:18:59. > :19:05.There are champions, European champion, indoor champion and in the
:19:06. > :19:11.shape of Laura Muir, a double indoor champion. Some of the fastest women
:19:12. > :19:16.in the world, including Dibaba. Everywhere you look, opportunities.
:19:17. > :19:22.I've heard two rumours, just to go against what Paula was saying a
:19:23. > :19:28.little bit, one is that Laura will take it from the start and that
:19:29. > :19:33.Dibaba will not let it go before she attacks hard. If that happens we are
:19:34. > :19:38.in for fireworks. One or the other I suspect will happen. Laura
:19:39. > :19:45.Weightman, it is another major championship for here. Commonwealth
:19:46. > :19:48.silver-medallist, European bronze-medallist, European champion
:19:49. > :19:55.at 5,000 metres, now going at 1500 metres standing next to her. So, for
:19:56. > :19:59.the two Lauras, there'll be massive support here and they will be hoping
:20:00. > :20:04.that it is a good, true honest race. If Laura Muir will take it out, that
:20:05. > :20:08.would be the brave way to do it. The person who has just added this extra
:20:09. > :20:16.for all sorts of reasons is Caster Semenya.
:20:17. > :20:25.I know we have talked about athletes getting disqualified. I think both
:20:26. > :20:29.the athletes who beat Hayley on that occasion were later disqualified. A
:20:30. > :20:32.great race in 2003 and we're heading for one here.
:20:33. > :20:39.Sifan Hassan, to me would have been the favourite before Caster Semenya
:20:40. > :20:43.came to the 1500 metres. Laura Muir, we have mentioned.
:20:44. > :20:46.Genzebe Dibaba, how good is she? Jennifer Simpson, of the United
:20:47. > :20:52.States. I don't have time to keep talking
:20:53. > :20:56.about how good they are all. -- all are.
:20:57. > :21:00.Let's listen to introductions as they go down the line, because the
:21:01. > :21:05.crowd have waited. This is the last event. The very popular Jennifer
:21:06. > :21:10.Simpson. Olympic bronze-medallist last year. She'll always be a
:21:11. > :21:21.danger. Runs smart. Uses her experience. Bahta came through as
:21:22. > :21:34.the fastest loser in the semifinal. Arafi, the Moroccan, who is always
:21:35. > :21:38.dangerous in slow erases. Is Kipchirchir in the shape she was
:21:39. > :21:40.last year. Some suggesting not. Scotland's very own Laura Muir,
:21:41. > :22:02.running for Great Britain. We weren't expecting this, Caster
:22:03. > :22:09.Semenya, in the final of the 1500 metres, yet to go in the 800. They
:22:10. > :22:13.will all fear Semenya. And I think that's why Sifan Hassan,
:22:14. > :22:18.they told me if it is slow early on, she will go after about 400/500
:22:19. > :22:36.metres, last 1,000 metres hard. Laura Weightman, she's been running
:22:37. > :22:39.very well, Laura. Loved the experience in London 2012. She so
:22:40. > :22:49.wanted to be back in the final and she's here. We were expecting
:22:50. > :22:53.Klosterhalfen, the brilliant talent from Germany, but her team-mate,
:22:54. > :22:59.Hanna Klein, made it through to the final. So, what tactics to be
:23:00. > :23:03.employed? What can Laura Muir do? Is there a medal here for Great
:23:04. > :23:11.Britain? The women's 1500 metre final.
:23:12. > :23:16.Well, we won't have long to find out what tactics will ensure. Laura Muir
:23:17. > :23:20.has gone straight to the front. It may be that the rumours were
:23:21. > :23:29.correct. It's going hard and quick. There's only one tactic here - run
:23:30. > :23:35.for gold. Well, I spoke to Sebastian Coe he
:23:36. > :23:39.said this is a classic dilemma. The 1500 metre runners realise you have
:23:40. > :23:43.to make it hard in the first two lengths otherwise the strength and
:23:44. > :23:48.power of the 800-metre champion will prevail. There is bravery here
:23:49. > :23:52.already on display from Laura Muir. Big anticipation of this race. Big
:23:53. > :23:57.pressure on Laura Muir. She sticks to the task. She said she would go
:23:58. > :24:01.to the front. As you mentioned, Steve, she's gone to the front and
:24:02. > :24:05.the crowd are going crazy already. She's doing it smart. The thing not
:24:06. > :24:12.to do would be not to go too excited. She was over 48 seconds.
:24:13. > :24:16.About 64, 65. 64 is four minute pace. 65, you can pick up this. It
:24:17. > :24:21.will be about building, building, building. Make the first 400 strong
:24:22. > :24:27.enough. A platform, so it has not been that slow. Kipchirchir thinks,
:24:28. > :24:35.OK, you have set off, by -- Kipyegon thinking you have set off.
:24:36. > :24:39.They are all nicely bunched. Laura Muir acting like a minipace-maker.
:24:40. > :24:42.She'll want to explode off the front here. Yegon thinks, OK, you have set
:24:43. > :24:53.off, by -- Kipyegon thinking Caster Semenya has got herself into
:24:54. > :24:57.a good position there. Muir is doing the work. This is a
:24:58. > :25:02.decent pace. You don't have to burst at this point. They are all
:25:03. > :25:06.gathering. The pace is clearly slowing. This is all about tactics.
:25:07. > :25:11.This is all about Laura Muir. Can she control the race at the front?
:25:12. > :25:16.She's trying to do that. She's got Olympic champion on her shoulder. An
:25:17. > :25:20.800-metre champion loitering on the outside. As we go through the
:25:21. > :25:24.800-metre point, let's see, it's not very fast at all. They are not
:25:25. > :25:30.running the finish out of this champion. This has played into
:25:31. > :25:34.Semenya's hands. I don't understand that slow second lap.
:25:35. > :25:38.It may be the tactic, but it's given Semenya the chance. Here comes
:25:39. > :25:42.Hassan on the outside. Here's the first big move.
:25:43. > :25:47.Semenya will be next to go. Laura Muir caught out. Jennifer
:25:48. > :25:53.Simpson going past her. Laura Muir has got a position. Here we go.
:25:54. > :25:58.Hassan. We have got over 500 metres to go. Laura Muir getting pushed and
:25:59. > :26:01.shoved. Dibaba trying to move out here.
:26:02. > :26:05.Caster Semenya looks comfortable. A little further back. Now Laura Muir
:26:06. > :26:09.around the outside. Now Laura Muir comes. This is a big run. She's been
:26:10. > :26:14.gathering herself. Can she get close enough? The bell sounds. They are
:26:15. > :26:18.all in contention. The 800-metre champion is giving them a bit of a
:26:19. > :26:21.start. Hassan is making it a long run. Laura Muir is in a good place
:26:22. > :26:25.now. She's got the strength. We think she has got the strength. Does
:26:26. > :26:32.she have enough tonight? She makes the move. Laura Weightman tried to
:26:33. > :26:35.hang on. Semenya is coming past. Hassan and Kipyegon stretching away.
:26:36. > :26:39.Laura Muir is going with them. Past Jennifer Simpson. It is a
:26:40. > :26:43.better-judged effort from Laura Muir but Semenya is still a long, long,
:26:44. > :26:47.long way back. These two at the moment got it between them. Come on
:26:48. > :26:54.Laura Muir. Find a little bit. Semenya is still coming. Hassan and
:26:55. > :26:58.Kipyegon, together, stride for stride. Arms going together. Legs
:26:59. > :27:03.going together. Jennifer Simpson is coming back to
:27:04. > :27:06.take in on Laura Muir. Semenya is challenging. It will be the Olympic
:27:07. > :27:10.champion. Simpson is going to get there for
:27:11. > :27:20.silver and Caster Semenya gets the bronze.
:27:21. > :27:26.Well, I have to say Kipyegon was the one out of the big names I was
:27:27. > :27:34.doubting a little bit. Hats off to her. I went quiet, because Laura
:27:35. > :27:40.Muir was so close and, when you have the medal snatched away from you in
:27:41. > :27:49.the latter stages, it's gut-wrenching. Gut-wrenching. The
:27:50. > :27:59.winner and the world champion is Kipyegon of Kenya. .
:28:00. > :28:06.Laura Muir run out of it by 700ths of a second.
:28:07. > :28:14.Laura Weightman ran well, she was in sixth. Two British women in the top
:28:15. > :28:20.six. I am trying to process this, because
:28:21. > :28:23.it was an odd race. Muir went to the front early and that 71 lap, she
:28:24. > :28:28.must have thought, I've got the confidence when the attack comes, I
:28:29. > :28:32.can cover it. She didn't manage to cover frit the front because they
:28:33. > :28:36.stole a march. Then she just wasn't strong enough in the end. You know,
:28:37. > :28:42.fourth is the worst, worst place to finish and when you have been that
:28:43. > :28:46.close, when you have run that well, Jenny Simpson was brilliant. I
:28:47. > :28:50.thought her race was run. Goodness me, let's give it to Kipyegon. The
:28:51. > :28:55.Olympic champion, world champion. Superb. So sorry for Laura Muir.
:28:56. > :29:02.Steve, like you processing how that race went, was a bit strange. She
:29:03. > :29:08.ran the first lap solid. She ran the second lap poorly, slowly, too
:29:09. > :29:12.slowly. You know, a great 1500 metre runner, beaten, inexperienced
:29:13. > :29:16.800-metre runner, if it was a true-run race. That was the essence
:29:17. > :29:21.of a true-run race. However Semenya came from a long way back. Laura
:29:22. > :29:27.Muir came twice again. Semenya's last lap of 57. 57.08 seconds, well,
:29:28. > :29:30.again, she came from too far behind. But Jenny Simpson, you know, she's
:29:31. > :29:35.experienced enough. She knows what to do and I'm still confused about
:29:36. > :29:38.that race. I'd like to see it properly, because so much was
:29:39. > :29:42.happening. So much was happening in various points of the race, not just
:29:43. > :29:46.on the run to the finish. You have to say that Laura Muir was so, so
:29:47. > :29:51.close. It was so, so brave and what she did. The second lap just let her
:29:52. > :29:55.down a little. I just think if that lap had been
:29:56. > :29:58.more consistent, there's no point in running 71 seconds. You are not
:29:59. > :30:02.achieving very much. You are sitting at the front. The rest of them are
:30:03. > :30:06.gauging it. She should be disappointed. She will be
:30:07. > :30:11.disappointed. She'll be a great athlete. She's demonstrated that.
:30:12. > :30:16.She's going to win a global medal, I am pretty sure. She nearly did it
:30:17. > :30:20.today and you know the tactics of today's race slightly different
:30:21. > :30:25.tactics, could have given her a medal.
:30:26. > :30:32.It was close, but forth this time. Next time, maybe.
:30:33. > :30:38.STUDIO: Welcome to the BBC Two viewers who have just joined our
:30:39. > :30:42.coverage from the World Athletics Championships from the London
:30:43. > :30:47.Stadium. We've just witnessed a fascinating 1500 metres final. The
:30:48. > :30:51.best women in the world, a totally loaded field and it was an
:30:52. > :30:57.impossible one to call, no one knew how it was going to pan out. And
:30:58. > :31:00.still, as Brendan Foster said, he wants to see it again so he can work
:31:01. > :31:07.out what kind of tactics were employed. Who got it right, Paula?
:31:08. > :31:11.Obviously Kipyegon won the medal, but did Laura Muir do the right
:31:12. > :31:18.thing and could she have done more? Was she beholden to the tactics of
:31:19. > :31:22.the others? You know, it's so hard, when you're in that situation and
:31:23. > :31:28.you are racing, you are the only one who can really make those decisions
:31:29. > :31:32.and make that move and Laura did what she thought would give her the
:31:33. > :31:37.best shot and it nearly paid off. Yes, if you look at who ran the
:31:38. > :31:43.perfect race, then Kipyegon did because she won did, and Simpson ran
:31:44. > :31:47.an outstanding race. She's so good. Thank you, Paula, for the moment. If
:31:48. > :31:51.you're watching on BBC One, we're going to go to the news. If you wish
:31:52. > :31:56.to continue watching, switch over to BBC Two now and we'll have more
:31:57. > :31:57.reaction and interviews from that incredible 1500 metres
