Day 7, Part 2

:00:17. > :00:28.This is world domination! Michael Johnson, storming away to another

:00:29. > :00:34.gold medal! Magnificent, Carl Lewis, history in the making! Jessica

:00:35. > :00:43.Ennis-Hill is back on top of the world. That is massive, that is a

:00:44. > :01:01.new world record! The champion of the world! Usain Bolt!

:01:02. > :01:10.We live in a fast-paced world right now. A lot of things can be done in

:01:11. > :01:17.a very short amount of time. Particularly within 20 seconds. You

:01:18. > :01:29.can fry an egg. Make this movie. But some toast. Easy. Complete a Rubik

:01:30. > :01:39.'s cube? No problem. Send a text, brush your teeth, open a bottle of

:01:40. > :02:09.bubbly. Take a selfie. And what else? Win a gold medal!

:02:10. > :02:14.Welcome to the seventh day of the World Athletics Championships, if

:02:15. > :02:20.you have been watching on BBC Two, welcome back. Three finals tonight

:02:21. > :02:24.with the men's 200 metres one of the most eagerly anticipated races of

:02:25. > :02:29.this championships and that was not already, what has happened in the

:02:30. > :02:33.last few days to this man has thrown even more of the spotlight on Isaac

:02:34. > :02:38.Makwala, that was the end of his time trial, after his reprieve,

:02:39. > :02:46.tried to qualify for the semifinal and he did that in 20.2 seconds and

:02:47. > :02:50.then he qualified comfortably in the rain last night. The sun is shining

:02:51. > :02:58.tonight, the fastest man in the world this year and his great rival,

:02:59. > :03:02.Wayde van Niekerk, the 400 metres champion, did not look as

:03:03. > :03:06.comfortable last night in the semifinal but he is a man of

:03:07. > :03:11.considerable talent, always pushing himself to achieve more. He is

:03:12. > :03:16.looking to do what Michael Johnson did, be very difficult double. And

:03:17. > :03:22.Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake has been running well this year, from Great

:03:23. > :03:27.Britain. As Michael predicts, it could be a blanket finish but could

:03:28. > :03:33.the British athlete be fighting for the medal? Hear is what is coming

:03:34. > :03:40.up, the heats of the women's 800 metres ongoing and the men's triple

:03:41. > :03:47.jump, candy world record bid broken? Then the men's 1500 metres with

:03:48. > :03:53.three British athletes. The women's 200 metres semifinal followed by the

:03:54. > :03:58.women's 400m hurdles final, featuring Eilidh Doyle. And the

:03:59. > :04:05.final event is that men's 200 metres with Wayde van Niekerk attempting to

:04:06. > :04:08.complete his London double. I very busy evening, a completely different

:04:09. > :04:15.feel to the absolute deluge we had last night. It did not dampen the

:04:16. > :04:20.enthusiasm of the crowds, cheering wildly but tonight it does feel more

:04:21. > :04:26.like summer and Denise and Michael are enjoying that. As we change

:04:27. > :04:31.channels, the fifth of the heats of the women's 800 metres was taking

:04:32. > :04:35.place, Paula Radcliffe and Steve Cram calling this

:04:36. > :04:51.The start list. Mcdonald from Jamaica. The favourite will be

:04:52. > :05:00.Lipsey. The former world champion is not starting, she has not had a

:05:01. > :05:05.great season coming into this. She did look like she was coming back to

:05:06. > :05:15.her best but not here, sadly. The fastest loser spot is a roundabout

:05:16. > :05:31.the .22 mark. The sixth fastest loser spots available and... Just

:05:32. > :05:36.gliding across, she has spent entire career 800 metres, from very good

:05:37. > :05:44.youngster through the junior ranks and she is letting Lipsey control

:05:45. > :05:54.this, she has had a brilliant year. That is pretty quick. Very quick and

:05:55. > :05:59.that explains why she normally runs from the front. She is sitting and

:06:00. > :06:17.we'll see what pays Lipsey will be doing. Hynne on the inside. And the

:06:18. > :06:26.powerful Ugandan. Ajok on the shoulder of Lipsey. That is as quick

:06:27. > :06:31.as we have seen. And the Australian, Griffith, on the outside, just 20

:06:32. > :06:42.years old. Hinriksdottir on the curve. Ajok holding up the rest of

:06:43. > :06:46.the field. Hynne is looking very good as well, running a good race

:06:47. > :06:52.and Hinriksdottir is looking for space. That was slower. They will

:06:53. > :06:57.try to bring it home quickly. Only the top three going through,

:06:58. > :07:07.Hinriksdottir looking for someone. Right behind the Norwegian. She is

:07:08. > :07:16.shutting Hinriksdottir out. Lipsey leading and finishing quickly.

:07:17. > :07:22.Griffith, not enough here. They will have to wait. The top three going

:07:23. > :07:28.through in the slowest heat so far, sadly for Hinriksdottir and

:07:29. > :07:32.Griffith, that will not be enough. Lipsey continues to impress, some

:07:33. > :07:39.great names in the medal contenders but if anyone falters, Lipsey will

:07:40. > :07:46.not be far-away. She has been impressive all year. That was just a

:07:47. > :07:57.few moments ago. Before we go live to eat six, Steve can update us on

:07:58. > :08:13.the results. -- 86. -- Heat 6. The fastest loser spot is still 22.04.

:08:14. > :08:20.Lipsey showing why. Bearing in mind The Times, it is within the powers

:08:21. > :08:23.of Tracey to go through, not as an automatic qualifier but as one of

:08:24. > :08:33.the fastest losers, just outside two minutes. And although she has not

:08:34. > :08:36.gone below that magical mark of two minutes, she is certainly capable of

:08:37. > :08:49.running the kind of time to go through. This is the line-up. And

:08:50. > :09:04.the big threat overall... Hermansson.

:09:05. > :09:17.Buchel winning the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade in March

:09:18. > :09:31.for the second time. The African refugee team, Hamann. Alemu, she had

:09:32. > :09:38.a new personal best this season. And then Niyonsaba, silver in Bergen.

:09:39. > :09:56.Taking the world title last year. -- in Rio. Second place in the UK

:09:57. > :10:06.Championships, Tracey and Tracey Sharp looking good in her heat. And

:10:07. > :10:20.then 48 sacro of Sweden. -- Hermansson. The fastest losers, six

:10:21. > :10:37.of them going through. 2:02.04 is clinging on. The last heat. She can

:10:38. > :10:48.run this at her leisure, unless there is something awkward. Buchel

:10:49. > :10:58.is also a danger. And Alemu, the 20-year-old Ethiopian. Tracey, she

:10:59. > :11:01.was one of those Secret seven who let the Olympic Flame. And she has

:11:02. > :11:07.made huge strides forward. Knocking on the door of two minutes and she

:11:08. > :11:16.might have to do that today. Running this like this is a race anywhere

:11:17. > :11:28.else. The South African after Semenya. It seems to be moving at a

:11:29. > :11:34.fair old pace. Alemu. That was a very quick first lap, they know what

:11:35. > :11:38.they have to run, if they run faster than 2:02.04, they are in the

:11:39. > :11:52.fastest loser spots. Adelle Tracey needs to stay calm and where she is.

:11:53. > :12:04.Adelle Tracey hanging on at the moment, looking for that time inside

:12:05. > :12:17.2.02. Alemu checking for just a moment. Niyonsaba and Buchel, Adelle

:12:18. > :12:24.Tracey in fourth place and looking strong. Buchel has left the door

:12:25. > :12:30.open! Tracey trying to get through! Niyonsaba just gets that. I am sure

:12:31. > :12:38.that we'll be fine for Adelle Tracey to go through as one of the fastest

:12:39. > :12:44.losers. She was a very big thank you to the South African, who set the

:12:45. > :12:54.pace, Lofstrand, and Adelle Tracey, just out of third place but that is

:12:55. > :13:01.a personal best. 2:00.28. That is the way to do it. Still not beating

:13:02. > :13:06.that two minute barrier but that will come at some stage and she ran

:13:07. > :13:09.very well, looking with some anxiety, for confirmation that she

:13:10. > :13:18.has gone through as a fastest loser but she will, clearly. And the pace

:13:19. > :13:26.at this moment with Adelle Tracey in a very good position, battling hard.

:13:27. > :13:35.Alemu did check to recover from that clip. She can see the gap opening up

:13:36. > :13:40.on the inside and she is not fading, holding her form and Adelle Tracey

:13:41. > :13:45.did exactly the right thing, finishing as hard as she could,

:13:46. > :13:50.fighting to the line, she does not know when she crosses the line, and

:13:51. > :13:54.she is clearly inside what she needed. Still battling but just

:13:55. > :14:01.cannot quite get her shoulder in front of Buchel. It is easy for

:14:02. > :14:06.Niyonsaba, she knows where she is. It is harder for Adelle Tracey,

:14:07. > :14:10.running her personal best, she thought she might get through the

:14:11. > :14:17.inside of Buchel but the Swiss athlete was strong enough to hold

:14:18. > :14:21.on. And Alemu going through also. Adelle Tracey with that personal

:14:22. > :14:26.best going through to the semifinal tomorrow. And that is the way to do

:14:27. > :14:35.it with a personal best! And Buchel offers congratulations. Well done!

:14:36. > :14:39.And a sense of relief but you must be proud of that performance? I just

:14:40. > :14:45.really wanted to go out there and give it my all, to do everything I

:14:46. > :14:49.possibly could, I had the advantage of knowing what others had run but I

:14:50. > :14:55.wanted to run my own race and do that on the track. You were so

:14:56. > :15:04.close, just a matter of time? Yes. OK. I just ran my personal best, I

:15:05. > :15:08.would have liked to qualify automatically. But I am so happy to

:15:09. > :15:13.get through! Like a kid when you want a lot of goes! Fantastic, you

:15:14. > :15:20.let the cauldron here five years ago, congratulations.

:15:21. > :15:31.The women's high jump qualifying is hotting up. 1.94 is the qualifying

:15:32. > :15:41.for the final on Saturday. Lake has had a good attempt so far. Gives it

:15:42. > :15:47.a rattle but it stays on. The young British champion will power be need

:15:48. > :15:54.1.92, maybe 1.94. Morgan Lake is looking good. Let's look at this,

:15:55. > :16:06.when in the Karlov well. -- running the curve well. It's a good

:16:07. > :16:15.clearance. KJT. With a foul at this height. Two high jump mats next to

:16:16. > :16:21.each other, two Brits are in action. 1.80 nine. Yes, that's better. Good

:16:22. > :16:28.rhythm on that. The last three strides, much better than her first

:16:29. > :16:32.effort. A clearance of 1.80 nine. Looks like 1.92 is going to be

:16:33. > :16:37.needed to go through to the final on Saturday. KJT is looking very good

:16:38. > :16:53.indeed. Really solid clearance, daylight.

:16:54. > :17:08.Niyonsaba going through. So fast was the last feet that Adelle Tracey,

:17:09. > :17:16.los Strand, all going through as the fastest losers. -- los

:17:17. > :17:21.the last Tate really shook things up in terms of qualifiers. Here they

:17:22. > :17:30.are. Three British athletes going through. Tracey, Lynsey Sharp is

:17:31. > :17:33.true and Caster Semenya. Three British athletes are into the

:17:34. > :17:54.semifinals tomorrow. JAZZY MUSIC van Niekerk takes it and

:17:55. > :18:09.it is a new world record. World champion again.

:18:10. > :18:36.We can't wait. It's at 9:50pm tonight. Starting shortly, the men's

:18:37. > :18:40.triple jump final. It is a record that our very own Jonathan Edwards

:18:41. > :18:42.still holds. We will hear from him shortly but firstly let's go back to

:18:43. > :18:51.Gothenberg and the summer of 95. Jonathan Edwards, the world record

:18:52. > :19:07.holder, with his first round jump. Oh, it's huge, its massive! My

:19:08. > :19:12.goodness. That is fantastic. We could see history in the making in

:19:13. > :19:19.this very first round. Oh, my goodness gracious me. 18.16, a world

:19:20. > :19:23.record for Great Britain and Jonathan Edwards. The crowd

:19:24. > :19:30.anticipating something special once again. Jonathan Edwards of Great

:19:31. > :19:35.Britain. Oh, it's a tough act to follow but he's done it again, I

:19:36. > :19:40.don't believe it! I suppose you have to say, once you're in the groove,

:19:41. > :19:46.nothing can go wrong. But I'll tell you what, that is even further.

:19:47. > :19:52.There it is. Jonathan Edwards has made history again. And he has Saaid

:19:53. > :20:00.his second world record in less than 20 minutes. -- he has set his second

:20:01. > :20:02.world record. Jonathan Edwards, the world record-holder, going in the

:20:03. > :20:07.third round. It is a huge jump again. Christian Olsen and the rest,

:20:08. > :20:15.eat your heart out. The world record-holder is performing again.

:20:16. > :20:19.Memories of Gothenberg in 95. 17.92, again one of the longest jumps in

:20:20. > :20:27.history. Edwards is the world champion.

:20:28. > :20:34.Jonathan, such fantastic memories of Gothenberg, how vivid are those

:20:35. > :20:39.memories to this day? I member it most from Paul Dickinson's

:20:40. > :20:41.commentary, I've done it again, can't believe it, and that goes

:20:42. > :20:46.through my mind when I think about the record. It was a surreal

:20:47. > :20:50.experience, I never dream of not just becoming the world champion but

:20:51. > :20:54.breaking the world record twice and even now when I watch it I have to

:20:55. > :21:00.pinch myself. And holding the record to this day. Did you think it would

:21:01. > :21:03.last this long? I hoped I would break it in subsequent years and

:21:04. > :21:09.spent several years thinking I would but didn't do it and I've seen

:21:10. > :21:14.various athletes, one jumping over 18 metres in Moscow a few years ago.

:21:15. > :21:19.And Christian Taylor now. I'm still holding on by my fingernails. Now

:21:20. > :21:22.working for Eurosport on the other side, looking at Christian Taylor in

:21:23. > :21:26.the final tonight, do you think he's in the shape to challenge your

:21:27. > :21:30.record? If I'm honest he's not in as good shape as he has been

:21:31. > :21:34.previously, he had a good 18-metre jump in the Diamond League but the

:21:35. > :21:39.conditions were really good. They lost in his last competition in

:21:40. > :21:43.Lausanne. I was speaking to Dwight Phillips who is working with the

:21:44. > :21:48.IAAF, the Olympic champion, and he thinks that will Claye is in better

:21:49. > :21:52.shape and it may be his turn. But they may spur each other on to what

:21:53. > :21:56.could be a fantastic competition. Whatever happens, he's going to come

:21:57. > :22:00.through and talk to you. What is it like we view as the champion of old,

:22:01. > :22:03.meeting the champion of the current state, the world record-holder and

:22:04. > :22:08.the man who would like to beat you? We get along very well and he has

:22:09. > :22:12.always been very respectful of me and my achievements and I am of him

:22:13. > :22:17.and his achievements. Were he to break the world record it will be a

:22:18. > :22:21.bit weird. The truth is, I don't mind if he breaks the record, I just

:22:22. > :22:24.prefer not to be here when he does it! Because then I'd have to speak

:22:25. > :22:30.to everyone about it and that isn't much fun. He's a great athlete and

:22:31. > :22:36.he beat pass if it does it I'll be delighted for him. And there is

:22:37. > :22:41.Christian Taylor in the warm up area. Conditions are better than

:22:42. > :22:46.they were 24 hours ago. He's wearing a wristband with 18.30 on it,

:22:47. > :22:50.cheeky! That's what he needs if he's going to get the world record. Will

:22:51. > :22:56.he get it in conditions like this, Steve Backley? Jonathan's assessment

:22:57. > :23:00.was honest, I know he's quite biased, but it isn't the best

:23:01. > :23:03.conditions. I met a family today who said they are coming to watch the

:23:04. > :23:10.world record in the triple jump today, they very specific! That's

:23:11. > :23:14.his biggest challenge. This is what he is chasing, this is the Jonathan

:23:15. > :23:19.Edwards' world record. Amazing that it was 22 years ago. His biggest

:23:20. > :23:21.weapon was his speed on the runway and his ability to transfer that

:23:22. > :23:27.momentum through the phases, retaining the speed. He could do

:23:28. > :23:34.that because he was so strong, he could claim 150 kilos, his body

:23:35. > :23:37.weight was 75. His step was slightly shorter, five metres 22, but look

:23:38. > :23:46.how far his jump is after that, he really gets out. Massive jump into

:23:47. > :23:50.the pit. But it 11 times your body weight going through the floor.

:23:51. > :23:55.Jonathan's dump that day was behind the board. Here is Christian Taylor

:23:56. > :24:01.in Beijing, on his way to his world title. Much more even going through

:24:02. > :24:12.the phases, Christian Taylor. Also active on the floor and space to

:24:13. > :24:15.spare. The hop, 5.96, so slightly shorter than Jonathan but this is

:24:16. > :24:21.his big weapon, his massive step, nearly six metres. He compromises,

:24:22. > :24:29.maybe a bit less in the third and final phase, losing 67 meet --

:24:30. > :24:32.losing six centimetres. Both of them happy to continue their momentum

:24:33. > :24:36.through the phases and that is the key to world-class triple jumping.

:24:37. > :24:42.Christian Taylor goes into the competition clearly as the favourite

:24:43. > :24:49.but watch out for Will Claye, Jonathan Edwards mentioned him. This

:24:50. > :24:58.is the start list. A couple of names, low-end ski, Centrowitz and

:24:59. > :25:07.the British representative also. Torrens is running well. Bustos.

:25:08. > :25:19.Andre doesn't start, he ran in the 800 metres. 19-year-old Josh Kerr.

:25:20. > :25:22.Three men from one athletics club representing Great Britain in the

:25:23. > :25:27.1500 metres. Edinburgh athletics club. Chris O'Hair, Josh Kerr and

:25:28. > :25:36.Jake Wightman. Josh Kerr perhaps with the toughest one here. He also

:25:37. > :25:39.has Manangoi and Kiprop, the two very good Kenyans, and Suleiman, in

:25:40. > :25:47.days gone by, from Djibouti, the indoor champion. Not going as well

:25:48. > :25:52.these days. Josh Kerr, what a year he's had, he started, went off, some

:25:53. > :25:56.pushing and shoving, he went to America, having a good collegiate

:25:57. > :26:03.career, coming back to the trials, qualifying. He got the qualifying

:26:04. > :26:06.time as well by the smallest of margins, 100th of a second and here

:26:07. > :26:11.he is in the World Championships running in the heats. It's great,

:26:12. > :26:14.Steve, the 19-year-old athlete starting on a career that we hope

:26:15. > :26:19.will be a long and fruitful career. And the three Scots are carrying our

:26:20. > :26:26.hopes for qualification through the first round and then the Sunni final

:26:27. > :26:31.and into the final. Josh Kerr, this is where you learn -- and then the

:26:32. > :26:36.semifinal. The place is steady and comfortable, it isn't a Diamond

:26:37. > :26:41.League circuit event, the pacemakers, which is why you get 63

:26:42. > :26:47.seconds for the first lap. Very slow for these guys. The Olympic

:26:48. > :26:49.champion, Centrowitz, and the three-time Olympic champion, Kiprop,

:26:50. > :26:55.the canyon, who hasn't been in the best shape this year. I was chatting

:26:56. > :27:00.to him and he said, don't worry, I love the World Championships -- he

:27:01. > :27:08.is from Kenya. He always says that. The man who is in really good form,

:27:09. > :27:12.Manangoi. Manangoi is a big danger. Kiprop, three times the world

:27:13. > :27:15.champion. He makes you nervous, if you are a coach you will be extra

:27:16. > :27:21.nervous but sometimes he's unbelievable. Occasionally, less so.

:27:22. > :27:26.Which one has turned up tonight? The Olympic champion in the blue vest,

:27:27. > :27:33.Centrowitz. This is one that he'll be wanting to take, qualifying

:27:34. > :27:38.culpably and CB journey like he did in Rio, leading to a gold medal

:27:39. > :27:44.again -- and see the journey. This is a tough heat. A very tough heat.

:27:45. > :27:52.They've gone very slowly here. The six fastest losers. Josh Kerr. A

:27:53. > :27:57.good finish, that's why he would be too bothered. He probably thinks his

:27:58. > :28:02.best chance is a slow finish because he's fast, he's a strong boy, 19

:28:03. > :28:10.years old, not fearful. Each reader looking for some room. Just pushing

:28:11. > :28:15.through -- Iguider looking for some room. 500 metres to go. It is

:28:16. > :28:21.starting to warm up. They are all moving up. It's going to be tricky,

:28:22. > :28:28.very difficult to call. Centrowitz is cruising. Here comes Kiprop, the

:28:29. > :28:35.champion, accelerating like mad. 2.53 at the bell. Very slow. Kiprop,

:28:36. > :28:38.is that going to be enough? He's in the position he wants to be.

:28:39. > :28:45.Manangoi is telling him where he wants to be. This isn't the Kiprop

:28:46. > :28:50.as old. He can't beat Manangoi as easily as that, Suleiman as well.

:28:51. > :28:58.Let Madejski is moving up on the 800 metres specialist -- Lewandowski is

:28:59. > :29:01.moving up. Josh Kerr is going to move the Olympic champion,

:29:02. > :29:06.Centrowitz, if he happens a chance. Iguider as well. The top six are

:29:07. > :29:14.going through. Josh Kerr struggling. Into the home straight, they have a

:29:15. > :29:23.chance. Benitz, the German as well. Iguider is there. Maybe the Aussie

:29:24. > :29:31.got there. What a Venice! That was incredible. Well, Josh Kerr was run

:29:32. > :29:36.out of it in the end -- what a finish. A chance being taken by the

:29:37. > :29:42.big names. The biggest chance, the biggest shock was the Olympic

:29:43. > :29:46.champion, coming absolutely last. He's not been in very good shape,

:29:47. > :29:51.has he? He hasn't been going well but that's amazing, how it went.

:29:52. > :29:59.Hard to call and hard to read and hard to measure! Lewandowski,

:30:00. > :30:03.Manangoi, Iguider here coming. Look at them, six of them will qualify

:30:04. > :30:10.and its changing all the time. Kiprop is trying to hold it.

:30:11. > :30:19.Manangoi looks decent. Just on the edge of the picture, Mekhissi.

:30:20. > :30:37.I would not want to call that from this position! Williamsz sneaking

:30:38. > :30:42.into that sixth spot. Kerr was not far behind but given there were so

:30:43. > :30:46.many ahead of him, I fear for his hopes of advancing. I have gone two

:30:47. > :30:54.horse races occasionally and you never see a photo finish like that!

:30:55. > :30:58.That is as close... Giving it was so slow, you could not have thought

:30:59. > :31:08.Mekhissi would be in seventh place, there. The first round of the triple

:31:09. > :31:20.jump final. Alexis Copello from Azerbaijan, in the lead. 17.16. Will

:31:21. > :31:25.Claye. Looking to get his mark in, to give his team-mate, Christian

:31:26. > :31:29.Taylor, something to think about. Will Claye, the first round of the

:31:30. > :31:35.triple jump final, hitting the ground hard, that is a big job.

:31:36. > :31:45.Beyond 17 metres. But is a good start. Excellent start. Can we see

:31:46. > :31:52.the replay? The hop, that league needs to be directly underneath you,

:31:53. > :32:01.the hop and the step, slightly bend at the knee and slightly ahead of

:32:02. > :32:04.him. 17.54, that will take the lead and give Christian Taylor something

:32:05. > :32:22.to think about. Great start from Will Claye. Can Johnson-Thompson...

:32:23. > :32:28.? The bar has been raised. 1.92. She will need this at the first attempt,

:32:29. > :32:38.more likely. That is good! From KK J. -- from Thomson Johnson. I have a

:32:39. > :32:44.suspicion that might be good enough to take through to the final. That

:32:45. > :32:49.would be great. Morgan Lake on the opposite side. Catherine Thompson

:32:50. > :32:55.Johnson out Katarina Johnson-Thompson. The first time

:32:56. > :33:03.clearance is just so important, 1.92. The main man. The Olympic

:33:04. > :33:10.champion, twice. Their world champion twice. Christian Taylor.

:33:11. > :33:25.Looking for support. He knows the mark from his team-mate, Will Claye,

:33:26. > :33:31.17.74, is the lead. -- 17.54. Round one. Well, that was tentative. Very

:33:32. > :33:37.heavy on the ground. I could hear that slapping the ground. He did not

:33:38. > :33:44.time that right. I think he was leading with his foot but a very

:33:45. > :33:50.heavy landing. Yes, he collapsed on the first phase and that killed his

:33:51. > :33:55.forward speed. Lots of space on the board and a bit of a timing issue

:33:56. > :34:00.for Christian Taylor, and that is a problem of building yourself up as

:34:01. > :34:06.the record challenger. His team-mate will play out in front, that is his

:34:07. > :34:11.mission this evening, to claim another world title and Christian

:34:12. > :34:23.Taylor in fifth place. With 16.90 seven. Just talking to his coach,

:34:24. > :34:27.also the Dutch coach. It is a question of keeping the leg straight

:34:28. > :34:35.and maintaining speed over the top, 12 times body weight, through his

:34:36. > :34:38.leg, close to one time. That is what you will do if you put your foot in

:34:39. > :34:50.the wrong place, it will cause you to buckle just a little bit. Morgan

:34:51. > :34:56.Lake. She has seen her team-mate, going clear at 1.92. The second

:34:57. > :35:07.attempt was a foul. Morgan Lake... Badger! Great clearance from the

:35:08. > :35:13.youngster. -- better. She just had a little bit of a tweak and a bend, it

:35:14. > :35:20.was not as smooth, but this is much better, driving freely, what a

:35:21. > :35:30.fantastic drive that is. Well up and some good clearance, excellent,

:35:31. > :35:35.second time clearance at 1.92. It was the tightest of finishes with

:35:36. > :35:44.two tenths of a second between the top six. I fear for the others, that

:35:45. > :35:59.has given the other two eats something to aim for, 3.46, that is

:36:00. > :36:08.pretty comfortable. Kerr is in the fastest loser spot and the Olympic

:36:09. > :36:16.champion was last. Chris O'Hare getting ready to go in the 1500m, he

:36:17. > :36:25.is really in the form of his life. There are couple nonstarters. From

:36:26. > :36:43.Ethiopia and Morocco. 13 starters. Kwemoi. All of those fast times set

:36:44. > :36:54.in Monaco. Musagala, he will also be a big threat, he was a finalist in

:36:55. > :37:05.Rio. Andrews, winning the US title. Holusa can finish very quickly. And

:37:06. > :37:12.that is a game face! 3:33.61, he ran in Monaco. He really ran with such

:37:13. > :37:16.heart in 2015 to make the final of the World Championships and then

:37:17. > :37:22.faded in the final but he is a different athlete, as is Willis.

:37:23. > :37:28.Maybe his better days are behind him is still a very good racer, just has

:37:29. > :37:34.not had the pace as in recent years but twice and Olympic medallist. And

:37:35. > :37:41.off they go. The second heat of the men's 1500 metres. The first was not

:37:42. > :37:45.quick, it was a very interesting race but nobody will want to take

:37:46. > :37:53.that risk, someone set a decent pace. I think it will be quick. 3.40

:37:54. > :37:59.six. You just have to run steady in the early part and that is what they

:38:00. > :38:04.are doing. Chris O'Hare, another Scotsman, living in the United

:38:05. > :38:09.States, he is representing Scotland and Great Britain tonight. Steve

:38:10. > :38:13.said he thinks he is running well this season and we should see

:38:14. > :38:18.something exciting from him over the next couple of days. The first job

:38:19. > :38:27.is to qualify here. This is not as challenging as the first heat. But

:38:28. > :38:31.still some very good manners. The canyon is the third fastest in the

:38:32. > :38:36.world this year and he looks like he is putting himself in the position

:38:37. > :38:47.to join his team-mates, there are two Kenyan qualifiers. Enzema,

:38:48. > :38:55.there. He will not be there for long. And Andrews not far away. Very

:38:56. > :39:02.talented American. At the moment, Chris O'Hare sitting in the engine

:39:03. > :39:09.room, he runs tactically very well, sometimes his place ultimately saves

:39:10. > :39:18.towards the end but he's now has the pace to match his tactical brain. He

:39:19. > :39:30.is in good stead, behind him the experienced New Zealander, Willis

:39:31. > :39:37.and the Australian, Gregson, both very good athletes in every sense.

:39:38. > :39:45.3.29, the best time for Willis a few years ago. And 3.31, 425 pacro. You

:39:46. > :39:53.just need to get that position. You are looking for experience, Chris

:39:54. > :39:58.O'Hare, running nicely, another trip, two athletes, it is starting

:39:59. > :40:03.to disturb me. They are running too close to each other. Chris O'Hare

:40:04. > :40:10.noticed it was getting cluttered and crowded and the pace has dropped, he

:40:11. > :40:15.moved on to the outside. Douma was just outside the medals in Amsterdam

:40:16. > :40:23.at the European Championships. But this is a good position. Chris

:40:24. > :40:28.O'Hare has to hold on. He will have to come from a very long way back.

:40:29. > :40:41.He is just behind Chris O'Hare. He cannot take any chances. Chris

:40:42. > :40:45.O'Hare has got the pace and he is in the right position. And Ryan

:40:46. > :40:52.Gregson, the American. Six going through automatically. Chris O'Hare

:40:53. > :41:00.judging the bunch. He will have plenty of pace. Willis in seventh

:41:01. > :41:10.place and here they come once more, quicker than the first heat. And

:41:11. > :41:18.down goes Douma from the Netherlands. How cruel for him! The

:41:19. > :41:26.victory went to Bahrain. Dirty Den pacro. That was cruel for Douma,

:41:27. > :41:35.trudging across the line, he was so close and in the next one of the

:41:36. > :41:40.qualifying places. The pace was not lightning fast. Too many people

:41:41. > :41:56.involved on the bike straight. Chris O'Hare. Holusa accelerating and look

:41:57. > :42:01.at the black vest of New Zealand, Willis running between the runners,

:42:02. > :42:08.giving them that bomb. And Douma from the Netherlands, he looked

:42:09. > :42:13.comfortable. And here came Willis but looking over his shoulder, Chris

:42:14. > :42:17.O'Hare, there is not much left to do, and there is that trip. They

:42:18. > :42:33.might want to look carefully at that. Willis cruising through. But

:42:34. > :42:39.that one... Well... It was Musagala. He is looking across and I think he

:42:40. > :42:45.was tripped by the Ugandan athlete moving into quickly. Just what I

:42:46. > :42:53.would say, I think he made that himself. He is looking around too

:42:54. > :42:58.much and he catches Musagala first and in correcting himself, he then

:42:59. > :43:04.hits Douma so I do not think they will advance him. They will clear

:43:05. > :43:12.that up. Chris O'Hare is safely through and he is talking to fail.

:43:13. > :43:24.-- Philip. As always, great effort. What have you added to your game to

:43:25. > :43:29.put you in such good stead? A baby! Truthfully, my son, Ronan, and my

:43:30. > :43:33.wife, my home is more of the motivation than before. And it is

:43:34. > :43:37.just so easy to get up in the morning and work and go to bed

:43:38. > :43:41.exhausted, even though you know you are getting up again in a couple of

:43:42. > :43:48.hours. But having them has been huge for me. I cannot thank them enough.

:43:49. > :43:52.In terms of your performance, you have stepped things up, you do like

:43:53. > :43:59.those grounds. And there is plenty more to come? To be fair, I got a

:44:00. > :44:07.little bit excited today, at 400 I thought this was slow and the Kenyan

:44:08. > :44:12.boy did a good job so I had to go quicker to get past him but I still

:44:13. > :44:18.felt comfortable. 100 metres to go and I knew I was in. We wish you

:44:19. > :44:29.well for the semifinal. I appreciate it. Thank you.

:44:30. > :44:43.It has been a knockout day in the Premier League.

:44:44. > :44:53.This is Daniel Sturridge, around the goalkeeper and his chorus! That

:44:54. > :45:02.could be a crucial goal! -- and he scores! Football is for all of us.

:45:03. > :45:15.O'Hare never copy your hero's haircut! If you want a second screen

:45:16. > :45:16.action, we have coverage of the US PGA Championship, the fourth and

:45:17. > :45:32.final major of the year. Coverage of that all weekend on the

:45:33. > :45:36.BBC. We are here all weekend as well and we hope it will stay as lovely

:45:37. > :45:41.as it has been tonight, dry, perfect conditions. Are they perfect, Steve

:45:42. > :45:47.Backley, for the high jump and triple jump? They are very good

:45:48. > :45:54.indeed. Will Claye made a good start, 17.50 four. If it wasn't for

:45:55. > :45:58.his team-mate, Christian Taylor, he would be the double Olympic

:45:59. > :46:05.champion. That must put some spice in the pit of your stomach. Second

:46:06. > :46:10.round, looking to extend his lead. Oh, it's a big jump. Game on. Will

:46:11. > :46:20.Claye really taking it to his team-mate, Christian Taylor. Looking

:46:21. > :46:25.to extend that 17.50 four. If you look at his foot, leading with his

:46:26. > :46:34.thigh, really pulling underneath. How he maintains his speed, just

:46:35. > :46:42.holding it up. Reaching out, lovely position there. Well, Will Claye,

:46:43. > :46:48.17.50 two. Maybe losing a little bit in the middle. He's in the lead.

:46:49. > :46:54.Christian Taylor, then, the undisputed champion of the world.

:46:55. > :47:04.But he's being asked questions in these early stages. Very modest

:47:05. > :47:09.start for him. He slapped the ground hard, maybe trying too hard. Talk of

:47:10. > :47:16.a world record, potentially distracting. He's got to take care

:47:17. > :47:21.of business here. Round two. It is long, that's a big jump. Much

:47:22. > :47:26.better, much better on that one. On the first phase he didn't collapse

:47:27. > :47:32.as much, really pulling his foot underneath. Still not happy, though.

:47:33. > :47:38.Leading with his thigh, pulling, a little bit of a collapse, not much

:47:39. > :47:46.of a step phase. He could get more. Very smart shoes for tonight! It's a

:47:47. > :47:49.big occasion, Toni. Taylor is looking to defend his title. It's

:47:50. > :48:01.going to be close, this. Waiting for his measurements. 17.50 seven. So,

:48:02. > :48:05.great news for Great Britain from the women's high jump. A big smile

:48:06. > :48:11.for Katarina Johnson-Thompson because the clearance we saw, taking

:48:12. > :48:22.her through to the final. That's on Saturday. As does Morgan Lake, so

:48:23. > :48:27.two Brits are in contention. Lasitskene looking very impressive.

:48:28. > :48:37.Two British athletes are in contention. Four medals on Saturday

:48:38. > :48:42.in the high jump. Excellent news, two flew to the final. Can we get

:48:43. > :48:47.another British athlete into the mains semifinal in the 1500 metres?

:48:48. > :48:50.Sadly Josh Kerr has already gone but his clubmate has gone through, Chris

:48:51. > :48:59.O'Hare, and here is another one, Jake Wightman. He's so looking

:49:00. > :49:06.forward to this. He is against this young man here, a great talent,

:49:07. > :49:17.Cheruiyot. Manangoi has gone through. The top six, four Jake

:49:18. > :49:29.Wightman. That's the task here. He's got some very good athletes in here.

:49:30. > :49:37.Ingebrigtsen, but on a normal day he would say that in the form he's in,

:49:38. > :49:43.winning the Oslo Diamond League, he'll be thinking that he can beat

:49:44. > :49:51.most of these. Berglund is a bit of a committed front runner. He's

:49:52. > :49:54.looked at the clock. 3.43, we can get 12 through here if they all work

:49:55. > :50:01.together. Going out with real intent. He has, and why not? It is

:50:02. > :50:07.much to their benefit. Jake Wightman has really come on here. I was

:50:08. > :50:15.impressed with his run in Oslo when he won the 1500 metres in the

:50:16. > :50:19.Diamond League. I'm sure that his father, Jeff Wightman, the stadium

:50:20. > :50:25.and answer, will be excited -- stadium announcer. Jake Wightman is

:50:26. > :50:31.in a good position. Steady pace being provided, that is the way to

:50:32. > :50:47.do it. Running in the 800 metres. Following Berglund, the tall Pole.

:50:48. > :50:55.The big kickers, the likes of Mechaal, Tesfaye on his day, Mathews

:50:56. > :51:01.moving into a better position. They are happy to sit off a little bit.

:51:02. > :51:12.Struggling to make the team and only just qualifying, Al Khan -- Elkaam.

:51:13. > :51:18.Jake Wightman moving to the fund, he doesn't want this to slow too much.

:51:19. > :51:21.-- to the front. If they keep going at this place, they could all

:51:22. > :51:28.qualify. That is the advantage of the last heat. Look at what is

:51:29. > :51:32.happening in the other heats. 3.43 is enough and this pace can easily

:51:33. > :51:36.do that, so a load of them could qualify. They know this and they

:51:37. > :51:42.will know more when they come to the bell. Ingebrigtsen in the Norwegian

:51:43. > :51:46.vest, just moving back inside. You don't want to find yourself boxed

:51:47. > :51:51.in. Just extricating himself very nicely. Wightman is in a good

:51:52. > :51:56.position. He has Cheruiyot, the world junior champion, on his

:51:57. > :52:06.shoulder. Berglund finding himself squeezed out. Here comes the

:52:07. > :52:10.Spaniard, Mechaal. 2.44, they've only got to run 59 to get a fast

:52:11. > :52:16.time and they are doing it, already motoring. That lap was 58. On his

:52:17. > :52:23.way now. Come on, Jake Wightman, you're doing well. He looks

:52:24. > :52:25.comfortable as well. Not many people challenging from behind. Cheruiyot

:52:26. > :52:30.with that slightly awkward action of his. Wightman is looking good,

:52:31. > :52:38.Mathews on the inside, Ingebrigtsen is staying patient, as is Mechaal.

:52:39. > :52:42.Starting to pull clear. Berglund coming back into it. Jake Wightman

:52:43. > :52:50.being cheered home. Mathews is there, Ingebrigtsen, Mechaal,

:52:51. > :52:57.Tesfaye. They will go through, those six and fastest losers behind them.

:52:58. > :53:03.Just watching the clock. Even all the way back to the one who just

:53:04. > :53:14.crossed the line, Debjani, it's going to be tight. The three

:53:15. > :53:19.Kenyans, the four Kenyans, the favourites, one of them perhaps

:53:20. > :53:25.losing his place. Jake Wightman is safely through. Well-run, Jake

:53:26. > :53:30.Wightman. There they are. They know how fast they are going. These

:53:31. > :53:33.athletes look at the split times, they look at the clock, they know

:53:34. > :53:37.that six will go through automatically and they know they've

:53:38. > :53:43.only got to run 3.43, to qualify. Jake Wightman holding the inside.

:53:44. > :53:49.Just next to him, one of the Kenyan favourites, he's got no problem, as

:53:50. > :53:53.is Ingebrigtsen. I think those first six are in a group and the next five

:53:54. > :53:58.behind them, all of them will qualify. So they've done it

:53:59. > :54:04.sensibly, running steadily, running well under 3.43, so that whole

:54:05. > :54:14.group, 11th athletes on that, we'll go through to the men's semifinal.

:54:15. > :54:28.The news is that the next of the fastest losers, chrome Ooi -- Kwemoi

:54:29. > :54:32.will go through. It will be tough in the semis, I suspect it may warm up.

:54:33. > :54:37.We don't want to see much of that slower running. This heat was a bit

:54:38. > :54:45.stronger. Let us see how Jake assessed his performance. Let's get

:54:46. > :54:50.that assessment. This is new to you, this stage and you put on an

:54:51. > :54:55.accomplished performance. How did it go? We got lucky with that heat, I

:54:56. > :54:58.knew that if the pace was quick enough there would be a lot of

:54:59. > :55:03.fastest losers. Getting through was the main aim, the top six. I've got

:55:04. > :55:08.pretty good and relaxed, nice to get through. That's the key, taking to

:55:09. > :55:15.the stage, proving that you belong and you look like you do. I hope so,

:55:16. > :55:19.the first round is always going to be the test and I felt good there

:55:20. > :55:25.and I'm confident I can go well in the semis. What is it like to have

:55:26. > :55:30.your dad as the stadium announcer, announcing to everyone, Wightman,

:55:31. > :55:33.qualified? It's good, I'm used to it now, he's always there and I know he

:55:34. > :55:39.has the best date to watch every race. That's good for a coach! Is

:55:40. > :55:46.the right thing for him to do and as a dad he will support you, as do we.

:55:47. > :55:51.Thank you very much. The lead in the triple jump final is Christian

:55:52. > :56:00.Taylor and his team-mate, Will Claye. This is the second round.

:56:01. > :56:07.Nelson Evora, 34 years of age now. Seems to have been around for ever.

:56:08. > :56:13.Took the Olympic title in 2008, depriving Phillips Idowu. This is

:56:14. > :56:27.his second round effort, chasing the two Americans. So, that was a little

:56:28. > :56:32.back of 17 metres. His job is in third place. We are in the third

:56:33. > :56:37.round now. Evora, previous world champion as well. So he has some

:56:38. > :56:45.pedigree and he's amongst the medals again. He's always so consistent.

:56:46. > :56:55.Good on the board. Once again, great shots there of the leg shoot. And

:56:56. > :57:05.Evora going really well indeed. The Americans on proving to be a bit of

:57:06. > :57:09.a handful, as expected. We can go all the way through the first page

:57:10. > :57:14.here, Mathews, Cheruiyot, Ingebrigtsen, Wightman, they all

:57:15. > :57:20.went through by rights but they were followed by the next five because of

:57:21. > :57:25.that fast heat. All the way through to 11th place and then it was close

:57:26. > :57:33.because Debjani, three seconds behind, nearly going through, but

:57:34. > :57:41.Quesne Moi -- Kwemoi going through into the semis. We're just seeing

:57:42. > :57:45.this man in the second round. Here we are in the third round. Position

:57:46. > :57:55.three, the top right of that caption. Taylor leading ahead of his

:57:56. > :58:01.team-mate, Claye. 17.57 is the lead. Evora is chasing, he is capable but

:58:02. > :58:08.not on this occasion. Evora's national record, 17.74, in 2007. Ten

:58:09. > :58:13.years since he was at his very best. At 33, he's still going well. Third

:58:14. > :58:21.as we stand, closing in on the halfway stage. These and conditions,

:58:22. > :58:26.we've got -- these are decent conditions. A slight following wind.

:58:27. > :58:31.The temperature has clocked off a little bit. Talk of world records

:58:32. > :58:42.maybe disintegrating. No improvement for Nelson Evora. There is a good

:58:43. > :58:46.angle to see the view that the athletes take, 40 metres back from

:58:47. > :58:58.the take-off board. 30 metres short of the sandpit. A hop, eight Skip, a

:58:59. > :59:04.step, rather, and a jump. Taking them into the pit. Will Claye, two

:59:05. > :59:10.jumps, two centimetres apart. 26 years of age now. Two bronze medals,

:59:11. > :59:17.he's had. He's in silver at the moment. Third round jump, it's a big

:59:18. > :59:23.one, its massive! Will Claye has taken the lead. It's a white flag.

:59:24. > :59:29.That's a better job. We talked about carrying momentum and that's what he

:59:30. > :59:32.did there my goodness, his first phase was incredible, reaching,

:59:33. > :59:39.pulling back under his hips. That's absolutely superb. He carries his

:59:40. > :59:43.speed, really running off the board. 11 centimetres to spare, so it could

:59:44. > :59:48.have been even bigger. We have a showdown. The Americans are

:59:49. > :59:59.exchanging the lead almost every round here. 17.57. Before that, now

:00:00. > :00:04.it is 17.6 degrees. Looked perfect, didn't it? It really did, the first

:00:05. > :00:08.phase really pulled him in, keeping his speed. You want to leave the

:00:09. > :00:12.ground and ten metres per second going into the final phase, nearly

:00:13. > :00:17.as quick as the sprinters in the 100 metres final.

:00:18. > :00:25.We can look at the qualifiers for the semifinals of the men's 1500

:00:26. > :00:32.metres. Two Brits going through, Jake Wightman part of that quickest.

:00:33. > :00:43.And Chris O'Hare, looking very comfortable.

:00:44. > :00:57.Kwemoi also goes through. The semifinal is tomorrow.

:00:58. > :01:13.He saw his team-mate launching the implement 91.2 metres. Rohler in the

:01:14. > :01:20.second round. And that is more like it for the Olympic champion. And

:01:21. > :01:24.things shaping up. And that is Vetter. The longest through Everett

:01:25. > :01:32.in qualifying, his team-mate, this will be a very big battle between

:01:33. > :01:48.the Germans, but Rohler is looking a little bit off tonight. That is over

:01:49. > :01:59.83, he can take his shoes off. So, Christian Taylor maybe not quite

:02:00. > :02:07.going to plan for him. Not quite the script that he had written, coming

:02:08. > :02:12.into this stadium with 18.30 written on his hand. Talking about world

:02:13. > :02:22.records, he is not looking like his normal, silky self. There was talk

:02:23. > :02:34.of fighting for the title, that surely has to come first. Before we

:02:35. > :02:46.see Christian Taylor, this is the young man from Cuba. Lifetime best

:02:47. > :02:56.of 17.4. Hitting the board good. Heavy on those steps. And that was a

:02:57. > :03:07.foul. 491 zacro. He is in fifth place. -- Andy Diaz. Bringing Tony

:03:08. > :03:18.in here, what would you say to Christian Taylor? He is a class act.

:03:19. > :03:22.Just give him confidence, he has six jumps, just keep relaxed and run

:03:23. > :03:26.fast on the runway, the speed you generate and really work that off

:03:27. > :03:34.the board and maintain that through the three phases. He has so often in

:03:35. > :03:41.the past delivered his best when exactly in this situation, he is a

:03:42. > :03:53.great competitor. But he is trailing Will Claye. 17.63 is the lead for

:03:54. > :04:01.Will Claye. Christian Taylor, six centimetres behind. Jonathan Edwards

:04:02. > :04:06.watching with Greg Rutherford. His world-record was 18.29. Christian

:04:07. > :04:13.Taylor, fast with the runner-up, that was good, that is a very big

:04:14. > :04:18.jump. Wow! We know that he can compete and he has shown us again,

:04:19. > :04:24.that was a great jump from Christian Taylor, this is going to be close.

:04:25. > :04:29.He just prepares a little bit, poles are little bit ahead of him, bend

:04:30. > :04:41.knee. But still... He got away with it. 11 centimetres. He needs those

:04:42. > :04:51.first two phases to be around about 11.8. He takes the lead by five

:04:52. > :04:58.centimetres! Look at that but three remaining. The women's 200 metres,

:04:59. > :05:00.this is how they line up, Dafne Schippers lining up alongside Deajah

:05:01. > :05:18.Stevens. Kirt was disappointing in the 100

:05:19. > :05:27.but this is for stronger event, she won the US title and Dafne Schippers

:05:28. > :05:32.has a great chance here. Bronze in the 100, she has been running

:05:33. > :05:44.stronger in the two. Jilek winning her heat, although Tony was supposed

:05:45. > :05:57.to run and she pulled out. And Sashalee Forbes, the 21-year-old

:05:58. > :06:05.from Jamaica. And on the inside, the South African, Justine Palframan.

:06:06. > :06:18.Outside Deajah Stevens, we have Ivet Lalova-Collio from Bulgaria. Sarah

:06:19. > :06:25.Atcho and Anthonique Strachan. A reminder that Bianca Williams and

:06:26. > :06:33.Dina Asher-Smith go in the third semifinal. Two going through

:06:34. > :06:40.automatically to the final tomorrow. Look out for Dafne Schippers and

:06:41. > :06:53.Deajah Stevens, who can challenge from around them?

:06:54. > :07:03.Absolute silence and that Laura from 60,000 people, Dafne Schippers

:07:04. > :07:10.powering away. Rebekka Haase in a decent position. Look at Dafne

:07:11. > :07:15.Schippers! Around the bend, looking around already, comfortable, moving

:07:16. > :07:21.towards the final. And strolling across, Deajah Stevens gets second

:07:22. > :07:26.place and as easy and time as you could hope for from Dafne Schippers.

:07:27. > :07:34.We talk about running around the bend and Dafne Schippers mastered

:07:35. > :07:38.that. She really did, very smooth out of the blocks, and to me, that

:07:39. > :07:46.is the best I had seen her running all year. Lovely running, attacking

:07:47. > :07:55.that very well, knowing that she is focused on Deajah Stevens. And then

:07:56. > :07:59.just coming off this bend supremely well, showing why she was the winner

:08:00. > :08:05.of the world title. She is the defending champion and looking very

:08:06. > :08:14.smooth indeed. Looking forward to that final, it is looking great.

:08:15. > :08:16.Some of the pressure is off. The 100 metres bronze was unexpected, Helene

:08:17. > :08:21.Thompson choosing not to run and suddenly Dafne Schippers is one of

:08:22. > :08:28.the favourites for the gold medal and looking so good. It has not been

:08:29. > :08:33.in great season for her, compared to two years ago but suddenly she looks

:08:34. > :08:41.great again. I am very excited about what she can do, she is all control,

:08:42. > :08:47.there. Deajah Stevens was struggling to keep pace but she goes through

:08:48. > :08:53.along with Dafne Schippers. And then Ivet Lalova-Collio. That might be a

:08:54. > :09:08.struggle for the Bulgarian. Only two fastest losers.

:09:09. > :09:24.Short, smiley and short again! The new British record! They have the

:09:25. > :09:31.bronze medal! She has captured her first. I had surgery and then get on

:09:32. > :09:46.with it, I need people to cheer for me! Don't just randomly cheer Dina!

:09:47. > :09:53.By! The British record-holder, fifth in the last World Championships and

:09:54. > :09:57.she is in Heat 3. We should have added on the reigning world

:09:58. > :10:05.champion, Dafne Schippers, she looked so comfortable. Yes, she

:10:06. > :10:09.looked tight in the 100 metres, she did not look comfortable and in the

:10:10. > :10:15.preliminary rounds, she looked robotic but she looked early good

:10:16. > :10:23.here, we are starting to see some of what we could see when she won the

:10:24. > :10:27.World Championships, running that incredible time, the third fastest

:10:28. > :10:32.of all time in history so we do know what your potential is that she has

:10:33. > :10:39.come under a lot of pressure but the likes of Elaine Thomson but with

:10:40. > :10:43.both of those out, she is more comfortable, really comfortable

:10:44. > :10:50.around the bend, powerful athlete but with good speed. And here,

:10:51. > :10:55.controlling this race from start to finish, already at 60 metres, able

:10:56. > :11:02.to shut at down. That'll be great in terms of the final and coming into

:11:03. > :11:10.that final with energy to spare. At 60 metres, shouting that down.

:11:11. > :11:14.Watching her throughout the season, she looked really heavy, some

:11:15. > :11:21.improvements in the Diamond League but the way she was moving, she was

:11:22. > :11:25.not the crisp Dafne Schippers we are expecting. She has been doing

:11:26. > :11:30.things, she changed her weights programme, she continued that longer

:11:31. > :11:35.into the season so that rhythm and lighter feeling has been missing

:11:36. > :11:39.until this stadium at the Diamond League, she ran in the 100 metres

:11:40. > :11:48.and that is the first time I thought she was looking good and now she is

:11:49. > :11:53.looking great! Shaunae Miller-Uibo is back on the track after pulling

:11:54. > :11:59.up last night and we were guessing all kinds of things, muscle cramp?

:12:00. > :12:07.Hamstring? Did she stubbed her to? And she was in fourth place. And she

:12:08. > :12:12.is fine again? That is a word I got, she suffered cramp in that race,

:12:13. > :12:18.that is what we thought caused her foot to head the track, and she

:12:19. > :12:22.tripped and lost momentum, I am sure she is disappointed but she is ready

:12:23. > :12:29.to run, she ran a personal best in the 200 metres this year and in Lane

:12:30. > :12:35.7, that is great for her, there will be no ill effects left over from

:12:36. > :12:39.yesterday, she should get through this easily. And Bianca Williams

:12:40. > :12:46.from Great Britain. That is a big ask for her? Yes, at best, that is

:12:47. > :12:54.the Commonwealth Games. She would have had a chance, she is in Lane 3,

:12:55. > :13:01.and from the first semifinal... The time for third, the first two go

:13:02. > :13:08.through and if you came third in this in 22.8, you never know. But

:13:09. > :13:15.Bianca Williams is going to have to go some because a bunch of women

:13:16. > :13:18.will be attempting the same thing. Including Edidiong Ofonime Odiong.

:13:19. > :13:21.And a second chance for Shaunae Miller-Uibo after getting things

:13:22. > :13:35.horribly wrong in the 100 metres and falling apart over the last 20

:13:36. > :13:39.metres. Not as much as Rio. Simone Facey, the 30-year-old, --

:13:40. > :13:47.32-year-old, she will be in danger, as will Mujinga Kambundji. If she

:13:48. > :13:51.has the American, Kimberlyn Duncan, inside her, you would think she

:13:52. > :13:57.would be the one to go through. Her personal best was a while ago and in

:13:58. > :14:06.competition yesterday she looked better than most. Bianca Williams

:14:07. > :14:12.needs to go here. In the heats she was slower. And Semoy Hackett from

:14:13. > :14:23.Trinidad and Tobago. Very different conditions to last

:14:24. > :14:32.night. It looks beautiful. The London Stadium. The Olympic Park.

:14:33. > :14:41.Fabulous venue. It has been filled to the rafters. For most of the

:14:42. > :14:45.sessions. The men's 200 but is final tonight, and the women in the

:14:46. > :14:51.semifinal, attempting to make the final tomorrow night. Bianca

:14:52. > :14:56.Williams from Great Britain in Lane 3, Shaunae Miller-Uibo, the Olympic

:14:57. > :15:09.400 but is champion, in Lane 7. The top two going through. -- Olympic

:15:10. > :15:17.400 beach is champion. -- metres. Lane 8. Rosangela Santos fell out of

:15:18. > :15:24.the blocks. She knows what is coming to her. She had a sensational 100

:15:25. > :15:29.metres, really exploded but she just fell out of the blocks, that is

:15:30. > :15:33.nerves more than anything else, all of the action happening inside her,

:15:34. > :15:40.she will be thinking, will they be kind? No!

:15:41. > :15:48.That's positive thinking, if she's standing there wondering if there

:15:49. > :15:53.are going to be kind. As you said, Colin, just nerves, falling forward

:15:54. > :16:01.there. She's wandered off, she's not even waiting for the red card. This

:16:02. > :16:09.is Alexis Copello of Azerbaijan now. Used to be for Cuba. Just shy of 17

:16:10. > :16:20.metres there. In joint fourth place with 17.60. That won't trouble the

:16:21. > :16:27.medallists in the fourth round. So, Miller-Uibo is in lane seven. Only

:16:28. > :16:33.one athlete outside her. Odiong. Former Nigerian, now running for

:16:34. > :16:39.Bahrain. Kambundji, very good 200-metre runner. Being going well

:16:40. > :16:43.over the hundred as well. Bianca Williams is going to have to chase

:16:44. > :16:56.Duncan and Kambundji, hope she can get involved.

:16:57. > :17:06.Safely away this time. Miller-Uibo, and never the sharpest out of the

:17:07. > :17:10.blocks. Kambundji going well, Williams is in sixth place. Look at

:17:11. > :17:19.Kambundji. Nowell Miller-Uibo will surely get going. Could be quick.

:17:20. > :17:27.Duncan. Duncan and Miller-Uibo, between them. Facey getting third.

:17:28. > :17:30.Made it look comfortable in the end. Different to what we saw from Dafne

:17:31. > :17:35.Schippers. She's ever going to get out of the blocks that quickly.

:17:36. > :17:38.Those long legs of hers seemed to take a while to get going, cruising

:17:39. > :17:45.the bend and then she releases into the home straight. Bianca Williams,

:17:46. > :17:50.well, expectations were that high. Duncan coming through nicely --

:17:51. > :17:56.expectations weren't that high. Here is the winner. Congratulations. Just

:17:57. > :18:01.doing your laces. What is it like to get back out on the track, after

:18:02. > :18:06.what happened last night, get it out of your head? It feels good to be

:18:07. > :18:12.back on the track, I just want to watch it away and focus on the 200.

:18:13. > :18:21.-- wash it away. What happened to you, clearly not an injury? It's

:18:22. > :18:29.kind of weird, I had the race under control. I looked up at the screen

:18:30. > :18:35.and I misplaced my foot and I ended up losing balance. It happens, it's

:18:36. > :18:38.a part of sport. Hopefully everything will fall into place. And

:18:39. > :18:42.then you come out tonight and you perform like that, obviously a great

:18:43. > :18:47.contender for this, which is some consolation? Definitely, we've been

:18:48. > :18:54.training for this for so long. I put in a lot of hard work. I'm focusing

:18:55. > :19:02.on the 200. A tremendous way to bounce back. Well done. Thank you. I

:19:03. > :19:07.was watching how she was going to come out of the blocks, whether she

:19:08. > :19:10.was going to drive. She won't be able to do that against Schippers in

:19:11. > :19:13.the final because she knows that Schippers will start faster than

:19:14. > :19:18.that and she will be a higher calibre than these athletes that she

:19:19. > :19:23.is dealing with quite come to be here. Even though Duncan came

:19:24. > :19:27.through and the final stages, Schippers will be out there. She

:19:28. > :19:34.will have to focus and get out of the blocks. So, Miller-Uibo and

:19:35. > :19:38.Duncan and can bogey, getting ahead of Facey by 100th of a second. --

:19:39. > :19:48.Kambundji. The men's triple jump final was

:19:49. > :19:53.billed as a head-to-head between this man, Christian Taylor, but next

:19:54. > :19:59.up on the runway, Will Claye, with a very impressive series. That 17.63,

:20:00. > :20:06.by the way, looks further and he landed further into the pits but he

:20:07. > :20:12.dragged his foot back. So we know that capable of more. Optimistic in

:20:13. > :20:16.the fourth round. Second place at the moment. Fast on the approach,

:20:17. > :20:25.going good through the hop. The step. Another good effort. A scream

:20:26. > :20:30.from Will Claye. I think it's shy of the 17.63 he's done so far. His

:20:31. > :20:35.coach telling him to look at the screen, to see if maybe there is a

:20:36. > :20:40.repeat. Pulling back underneath, slightly bent knees, losing some

:20:41. > :20:46.speed. Letting out a scream of frustration, he knows he can go

:20:47. > :20:53.further. And he has, he jumped 17.91 to take the US title. He's gone over

:20:54. > :20:59.18 metres this year, albeit windy. No improvement for Will Claye, he

:21:00. > :21:06.stays in second place. Right, Christian Taylor, maybe that lull

:21:07. > :21:15.from Will Claye will be the impetus that takes this man further into the

:21:16. > :21:23.lead. Already leading with 17.68. He could take the handbrake off now and

:21:24. > :21:28.let loose. Round four. Massive through the hop and step but he

:21:29. > :21:31.collapsed slightly? I think shortening the running into the

:21:32. > :21:37.board, just tensing up and running into the board. He's in the best

:21:38. > :21:41.place to be. Because of that third round jump he will always go after

:21:42. > :21:45.Claye which means he's going to be able to respond to whatever Claye

:21:46. > :21:52.does. Just robbing a bit with his shoulder into the pit stop Christian

:21:53. > :21:57.Taylor is the defending champion -- his shoulder into the pit. Taylor is

:21:58. > :22:03.in the lead but you feel that there is more to come. The end of the

:22:04. > :22:12.fourth round, no improvement in that round. The 200-metre start line,

:22:13. > :22:18.readying themselves for the last of the semifinals. Just before

:22:19. > :22:24.Asher-Smith, just to confirm what she has to do. The qualifiers,

:22:25. > :22:27.Miller-Uibo and Duncan. Just inside 23 seconds, she could be in the top

:22:28. > :22:33.four but she'll want to be in the top two. Absolutely, there's a good

:22:34. > :22:43.chance that four qualifiers may come from this semifinal. Asher-Smith is

:22:44. > :22:58.good enough to do that. Rose from Brazil, a sub 23 second runner. --

:22:59. > :23:07.Rosa. This may be a danger here to Asher-Smith, Gaither. Looking very

:23:08. > :23:17.good in qualifying. Emanuel, the Canadian champion over the 200 and

:23:18. > :23:25.100. Ta Lou had the 100 metres in her grasp but it was snatched by a

:23:26. > :23:32.-- snatched away by 100th of a second. Very good in qualifying for

:23:33. > :23:37.the 200. Here is Dina Asher-Smith. Fifth in Beijing a couple of years

:23:38. > :23:41.ago. A couple of months ago, no thoughts of a repeat of that, she'd

:23:42. > :23:45.barely started running again after breaking a bone in her foot in

:23:46. > :23:51.February but she is on the way back, getting faster and faster. Matt

:23:52. > :24:09.Frei, from France, still a junior. -- Estelle Raffai. Williams going in

:24:10. > :24:11.lane two. Asher-Smith, in Monaco is a few weeks ago things started to

:24:12. > :24:17.come together and she started running the times. She was the only

:24:18. > :24:24.runner in the 200 metres to set a season's best and qualify, fourth

:24:25. > :24:30.quickest coming into the semifinals. 22.96 and 23 seconds from Kambundji,

:24:31. > :24:36.the two fastest losers at the moment. Asher-Smith is certainly

:24:37. > :24:44.capable of that. She'll be targeting a top two finish.

:24:45. > :24:56.Look out for Ta Lou. Asher-Smith is moving up well outside Ta Lou. Ta

:24:57. > :25:01.Lou responding now and Asher-Smith, they are so parading themselves.

:25:02. > :25:06.Emmanuel has work to do. Dina Asher-Smith and Ta Lou are clear at

:25:07. > :25:10.the moment. Ta Lou takes it, Asher-Smith holding on for second

:25:11. > :25:15.and she goes through. Going through to the final. She couldn't keep pace

:25:16. > :25:20.with Ta Lou but they're in mind where she's been, she's into the

:25:21. > :25:24.World Championship final. The famous Asher-Smith smile is seen again. Ta

:25:25. > :25:28.Lou will have a chance of gold, after she just failed in the 100 and

:25:29. > :25:33.Asher-Smith will be in the final as well. Their winning time in all

:25:34. > :25:43.three heats is exactly the same, the first two work 22.49 -- the first

:25:44. > :25:55.horse times worth -- the first two times were 22.40 nine. The work

:25:56. > :25:59.Asher-Smith has had to do to get to this stage, she put herself in

:26:00. > :26:04.contention early. She thought she was going to tag onto Ta Lou for as

:26:05. > :26:09.long as she can and having that positive mindset has clearly seen

:26:10. > :26:12.her through to the final. Brilliant from this young woman and I'm

:26:13. > :26:17.excited to see what she's going to do when she has had a full winter

:26:18. > :26:20.behind her. Damage to her foot in the indoor season. Thought that her

:26:21. > :26:26.outdoor season was a write-off but here she is, sprinting with some of

:26:27. > :26:30.the fastest women on the planet. Brilliant to see that, really good

:26:31. > :26:35.and exciting. Asher-Smith will have a big smile for a long time, that's

:26:36. > :26:40.for sure. Ta Lou looked good, though, out in front. You look at

:26:41. > :26:42.Schippers and Ta Lou and Miller-Uibo, they will be the

:26:43. > :26:49.favourites for the medals but when you're into the final, anything can

:26:50. > :26:56.happen. She worked hard, put herself in good position round the bend and

:26:57. > :27:02.cruise down the home straight. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

:27:03. > :27:06.Just as we suggested, four will go through from that semifinal because

:27:07. > :27:16.Ta Lou and Asher-Smith qualified automatically. Emmanuel and Gaither

:27:17. > :27:20.also good enough. 2000s of a second. But enough to go through into the

:27:21. > :27:27.final. Asher-Smith will be there in the final tomorrow night. These are

:27:28. > :27:32.the qualifiers for the final. Schippers and Miller-Uibo and Ta Lou

:27:33. > :27:37.will start as the favourites, two Americans as well, but Asher-Smith

:27:38. > :27:43.is into the final. That makes good reading, Tina, seeing you in the

:27:44. > :27:48.final from where you have come from, truly remarkable. I'm so happy.

:27:49. > :27:52.Things I was doing in that race that I wasn't happy with, especially the

:27:53. > :27:56.straight, but I can work on that for tomorrow. I'm so over the moon, I

:27:57. > :28:01.didn't think I would make the final so I'm very happy. Can you put it

:28:02. > :28:09.into context, the position you were in a few months ago. I completely

:28:10. > :28:13.broke my foot, which wasn't great, I needed surgery to put two screws in

:28:14. > :28:18.and spent six weeks not doing anything, not putting any weight on

:28:19. > :28:22.it and gradually increasing weight. For six months I was pretty much out

:28:23. > :28:27.of walking, then I learned how to walk, jog and run underwater, then

:28:28. > :28:33.on the ground, then sprint and here I am! It wasn't that bad! I'm

:28:34. > :28:37.joking, I wouldn't recommend it. Now you're in the final, that's an

:28:38. > :28:44.achievement, what would satisfy you in the end? Running a better time

:28:45. > :28:49.than I did here. That's time for me isn't particularly great but in

:28:50. > :28:52.context it's pretty good. I would love to get in the mix a little bit

:28:53. > :29:00.but we'll have to wait and see. The ventilation is. Thank you so much

:29:01. > :29:06.congratulations. We are in the penultimate round of the triple jump

:29:07. > :29:14.and this is the bronze-medallist as we stand, Evora from Portugal.

:29:15. > :29:18.17.19. That might be better. Now come -- no, it is a foul. At that

:29:19. > :29:22.time of the competition when you are pushing a bit harder. I think so,

:29:23. > :29:26.you want to establish yourself in the middle positions. Claye just

:29:27. > :29:31.stalking back and forth, trying to get his head together, get his

:29:32. > :29:34.motivation together. You get the feeling that he knows he has to do

:29:35. > :29:41.something here to put Taylor under pressure. There is Taylor, who

:29:42. > :29:50.completes the fifth round after Will Claye jumps. He has the world record

:29:51. > :30:00.in scrapped on his wristband, 18 metres 13. The world record is 18.29

:30:01. > :30:04.at Gothenberg in the World Championships. Shy of that this

:30:05. > :30:06.evening for the Americans. Taylor is in front. Claye, round five, going

:30:07. > :30:20.in pursuit. That is a very big jump again for

:30:21. > :30:29.Will Claye. Well, it might be just shy... But this tees up the last

:30:30. > :30:35.round. Just five centimetres separating both Americans. Watches

:30:36. > :30:43.feet, falling behind, his feet reaching out. And 20cm to spare on

:30:44. > :30:52.the board. While big could that have been? Just dropping in. You can add

:30:53. > :31:00.20cm to this. Look at that, that would have taken the lead. That has

:31:01. > :31:05.to give him confidence. Christian Taylor will know exactly what is

:31:06. > :31:18.going on, for me, he is trying to force it. He just has to trust it.

:31:19. > :31:27.Round five. To extend the lead. He does not. Surprised? The double arm

:31:28. > :31:34.shift, just preparing for the board and he decelerated. Let us have a

:31:35. > :31:40.look, thumbs-up. Still in the lead, five centimetres, two inches between

:31:41. > :31:44.him and keeping his gold-medal. He goes up a little bit and lands

:31:45. > :31:51.heavy. That is what does it in the final phase. Just not quite timing

:31:52. > :32:00.it as well as we know he can. He did burst through with massive 18.22 in

:32:01. > :32:10.Beijing, he can turn it on by the flick of a switch. It is not over

:32:11. > :32:17.yet. 17.68, with just one jump remaining. Fascinating triple jump

:32:18. > :32:22.but as they go into the last round, I think Jonathan Edwards can rest

:32:23. > :32:30.easy they are not threatening 18 metres, let alone his world record.

:32:31. > :32:38.That 200 metres, but run by Dina Asher-Smith was very impressive but

:32:39. > :32:45.as you can see, we are one! This is thrilling! The action packed stadium

:32:46. > :32:51.and the action on the track. The 400 and is hurdles, the final. And there

:32:52. > :33:00.are three runners clearly with the quickest times, are they the three?

:33:01. > :33:07.I really think so, Zuzana Hejnova is running as great but not as good as

:33:08. > :33:13.she has been in the past, Dalilah Muhammad, Olympic champion, running

:33:14. > :33:18.consistently, she had a couple of issues with the hurdles earlier in

:33:19. > :33:23.the season at the Diamond League but other than that, she has been

:33:24. > :33:30.running fantastic. And do not count on it Kori Carter. Really fast this

:33:31. > :33:38.year. Anything can happen when you have a personal best of 52.96. It

:33:39. > :33:45.will be tough for Eilidh Doyle. That is a tough place but she did well to

:33:46. > :33:50.get here. She knows what she's up against, she is aware of the

:33:51. > :33:55.competition, it has to be about her technique and form and getting that

:33:56. > :34:00.stride pattern perfect. If she wants to leave the track feeling like she

:34:01. > :34:04.has given her absolute best. She has been a great captain and ambassador

:34:05. > :34:09.for the sport and we are all rooting for her. She has plenty of

:34:10. > :34:17.experience, championship experience, she knows how to do this. Olympic

:34:18. > :34:24.finalist last year, bronze in the Olympic Games, part of the Relay,

:34:25. > :34:30.the 4x400 metres, she always pulls out her very best. That is why she

:34:31. > :34:38.was chosen as the team captain. And very popular in the squad. She has

:34:39. > :34:42.been brilliant from what I have heard, her positivity, experience

:34:43. > :34:47.and honesty, it is not easy to raise your game in these kinds of

:34:48. > :34:51.situation but if anybody can do it, she can and she knows it is all

:34:52. > :35:02.about technique. Any potential interloper? Clement, he thought he

:35:03. > :35:09.would take three gold medals back-to-back. I can see a situation

:35:10. > :35:18.with Kori Carter going off heart. Or she goes hard and they start to

:35:19. > :35:24.pressure and try to catch her. And they make mistakes and take

:35:25. > :35:29.themselves out of the race. She is somebody we have to look far. They

:35:30. > :35:35.will all have their eyes on her. Kori Carter could be one of them. We

:35:36. > :35:42.can go to the commentary team for this one, Colin Jackson and Andrew

:35:43. > :35:49.Cotter. And that is Kori Carter. We have highlighted the three potential

:35:50. > :35:56.medallists with Kori Carter, Dalilah Muhammad and Zuzana Hejnova. Eilidh

:35:57. > :36:01.Doyle on the inside. Three Americans, women's high jump going

:36:02. > :36:10.as well. And the Canadian, Sage Watson. But look out at Lane 4 and

:36:11. > :36:16.Lane 6. Zuzana Hejnova going for the hat-trick of world titles. Eilidh

:36:17. > :36:19.Doyle really delivers to their potential and ability and she comes

:36:20. > :36:25.into major championships ranked eighth or ninth in the world and she

:36:26. > :36:30.gets to the finals so that is a very big achievement in itself. Three

:36:31. > :36:37.World Championship finals. And the Olympic final. And she always gets

:36:38. > :36:41.the very most out of her ability and she does not mind the inside lane,

:36:42. > :36:50.we have had a couple of good runs from her, this year. She starts in

:36:51. > :36:55.Lane 2. On the outside, it is the first of the three Americans. It

:36:56. > :36:59.used to be the case that Kori Carter band quickly in the United States

:37:00. > :37:06.but not overseas but she did win in Monaco. Sage Watson, the 23-year-old

:37:07. > :37:18.Canadian, at the University of Arizona. Ristananna Tracey, she was

:37:19. > :37:23.fifth in the Olympic final in Rio. And she carries the hopes of

:37:24. > :37:30.Jamaica. This is the defending champion, going for three world

:37:31. > :37:35.titles in a row. Zuzana Hejnova said this is the first time in five years

:37:36. > :37:43.she is without pain. And she has her old coach. Cernjul, going for

:37:44. > :37:47.Switzerland, bronze at the European Championships in Amsterdam last

:37:48. > :37:55.year. The favourite, the Olympic champion... Dalilah Muhammad winning

:37:56. > :37:59.the US title with the quickest time in this event in six years, women's

:38:00. > :38:07.high jump was part of that very quick final as well. Bronze at the

:38:08. > :38:14.World Championships in Beijing a couple of years ago but most of the

:38:15. > :38:21.noise will be reserved for the captain of the Great British and

:38:22. > :38:25.Northern Ireland team. Her third successive World Championship final.

:38:26. > :38:35.Can she found something from the inside? Women's high jump outside

:38:36. > :38:39.then Beitia, Lea Sprunger, Zuzana Hejnova from the Czech Republic

:38:40. > :38:50.going for her third title. Ristananna Tracey, Watson and Kori

:38:51. > :39:05.Carter on the outside. The final of the women's 400m hurdles. And away

:39:06. > :39:11.they go, Cunningham, two lanes outside Beitia, she is flying

:39:12. > :39:15.alongside Cernjul and Beitia LivingWell, Eilidh Doyle has ground

:39:16. > :39:22.to make up but she has to go for strength in the latter stages.

:39:23. > :39:28.Beitia leading, that is a good run from Furlani, the Americans rising

:39:29. > :39:36.almost together. Kori Carter on the outside, Zuzana Hejnova with ground

:39:37. > :39:42.to make up for Beitia. Beitia, her head is shaking, leading into the

:39:43. > :39:47.home straight. Kori Carter is challenging, Zuzana Hejnova is

:39:48. > :39:56.tiring out. Beitia and Kori Carter will take it! And by Anderson's! A

:39:57. > :40:02.champion, from Dalilah Muhammad, then Demireva -- Ristananna Tracey.

:40:03. > :40:09.It is an American but not the American that we thought. And what

:40:10. > :40:19.runs the outside from Furlani, who is the champion. -- what a run from

:40:20. > :40:25.the outside. From Kori Carter. Congratulations, good job. Carter

:40:26. > :40:30.was really focused on the start line, she could barely smile during

:40:31. > :40:42.the introduction, she wanted to come here and do well. Eilidh Doyle.

:40:43. > :40:50.Everybody congratulating each other. The surprise, for me, was Zuzana

:40:51. > :40:55.Hejnova, I thought she was going to come out stronger in the backend of

:40:56. > :41:04.the race but it is going to be deaf -- when somebody is running 83.

:41:05. > :41:10.Ristananna Tracey, personal best, Carter a couple of years ago fell in

:41:11. > :41:17.the semifinals, that is what can happen, she got everything right

:41:18. > :41:27.here. Pretty much even in the race but Carter had more pace towards the

:41:28. > :41:30.end. On the bike straight, Beitia committing herself, she thought

:41:31. > :41:35.Zuzana Hejnova would be the big threat so she stepped on that

:41:36. > :41:42.quickly and this time, Carter, cruising along in her own world and

:41:43. > :41:46.because she is running in her own space, she is keeping very focused

:41:47. > :41:52.and aggressive, she comes onto the home straight and probably feels, I

:41:53. > :41:55.feel very strong, no accidents in my stride pattern, everything is

:41:56. > :42:03.running smoothly and when that happens in a race like this, the

:42:04. > :42:08.result is a world title. If we had offered Zuzana Hejnova that time

:42:09. > :42:13.beforehand she would have taken that and The Times in qualifying were

:42:14. > :42:18.pretty poor but in the final, the Americans stepped up. Eilidh Doyle,

:42:19. > :42:29.to make the final is a great achievement and she smiles. USA,

:42:30. > :42:37.one, two. And that looks likely in the men's triple jump as well. One

:42:38. > :42:41.less this man from Portugal can improve by -- unless this man from

:42:42. > :42:55.Portugal can improve. The last jump in the competition. He lost his

:42:56. > :43:03.balance and went forwards. There we are, the tale of the women's 400m

:43:04. > :43:09.hurdles, personal best for Ristananna Tracey. The Olympic

:43:10. > :43:17.champion settling for silver. That was a great run from Carter. Eilidh

:43:18. > :43:25.Doyle in eighth place. That was the bronze. Just two jumps remaining,

:43:26. > :43:29.possibly the final act of this riveting competition and the

:43:30. > :43:32.situation that Will Claye will have creamed off last night, he will have

:43:33. > :43:38.expected Christian Taylor to be in the lead at this stage and there was

:43:39. > :43:46.that he has to chasten down. Asking for some quiet. That is a surprise.

:43:47. > :43:51.That is the clock, he has to begin his run before that gets to zero. To

:43:52. > :44:00.improve on his silver medals position. He rushes it. He snatched

:44:01. > :44:08.at that and that is a foul. The previous jump, he had 20 centimetres

:44:09. > :44:19.despair. Gold Christian Taylor because Will Claye is shy of that

:44:20. > :44:24.17.68, disappointment in his cab. Christian Taylor, it looks like he

:44:25. > :44:28.was composing himself by the last jump, as so often happens, thinking

:44:29. > :44:34.you have to expect the competitor to go ahead if you and Will Claye has

:44:35. > :44:43.not. So, then... The stage is cleared. Christian Taylor has

:44:44. > :44:52.retained his world title. And he gets a freebie. He can let loose.

:44:53. > :44:59.Not to be tonight but it's a gold medal for Christian Taylor.

:45:00. > :45:07.Brilliant jumping. Maybe not the best we've ever seen from him but it

:45:08. > :45:12.was a good series. Possibly better from Claye but Claye having to

:45:13. > :45:22.settle for silver. There is your champion. Christian Taylor, three

:45:23. > :45:28.times champion of the world. He is undisputed, the best in this current

:45:29. > :45:34.era. But still, Jonathan Edwards' world record eludes him. He needs

:45:35. > :45:42.good conditions for that. Christian Taylor, an American 1-2.

:45:43. > :45:50.STUDIO: World champion for the third time, Christian Taylor, incredible

:45:51. > :45:53.achievement. There is a element of sadness because he wanted to do

:45:54. > :45:59.something special in front of this crowd, he loves competing in London,

:46:00. > :46:04.doesn't he, Denise? I've never seen him so emotional. He puts a lot of

:46:05. > :46:10.pressure on himself. He's a true champion. He focused and driven.

:46:11. > :46:14.That's his coach, they've been through these Olympics, World

:46:15. > :46:19.Championships together. They have set the bar very high. But it's

:46:20. > :46:24.great, another World Championship title, he's fantastic. What do you

:46:25. > :46:31.think about his approach to the world record? Typically what

:46:32. > :46:35.happens, as we've seen, when an athlete has the potential and they

:46:36. > :46:40.know it and it's being talked about, they will shy away from it but he

:46:41. > :46:47.unashamedly puts it out there that he once make it, he talks about it

:46:48. > :46:51.openly. I think it's true, so much pressure on himself. When Jonathan

:46:52. > :46:56.said the world record he didn't know it was going to happen. These guys

:46:57. > :47:01.are out for the 200-metre men's final. Let's get the crowd reaction

:47:02. > :47:15.to Mitchell-Blake. Young will be out in a moment, I'm

:47:16. > :47:20.sure they'll give him a good reaction, he has been the people's

:47:21. > :47:25.favourite. He has. That world record last year in the 400 metres was

:47:26. > :47:30.fantastic. You look at what he has done to follow it up, under ten

:47:31. > :47:36.seconds 100 metres, under 20 seconds 200 metres, Weld best in the 300

:47:37. > :47:48.metres. He's got an amazing talent. People like to see that. CHEERING

:47:49. > :47:54.Wow! Almost as loud, if not louder for Makwala. Surely a great

:47:55. > :48:00.reception for the 400-metre champion. This crowd are so

:48:01. > :48:06.knowledgeable. So supportive, they are so loyal, coming out in all

:48:07. > :48:10.weather but they also know athletics. They know athletics and

:48:11. > :48:15.appreciate it and that has been the case since before even I was

:48:16. > :48:18.running. And athletes understand and appreciate that, which is why they

:48:19. > :48:25.liked running here in London because the crowd is so knowledgeable. So

:48:26. > :48:30.many age group track coaches and club coaches, PE teachers who love

:48:31. > :48:37.athletics and they come out and support it. And athletes feel that

:48:38. > :48:43.and they know it. This crowd also have followed the stories of these

:48:44. > :48:48.athletes this week, and really understand who has been through

:48:49. > :48:54.challenges and what is going on with the sport right now and they are

:48:55. > :48:58.showing that. And with that man, Isaac Makwala, his road to the final

:48:59. > :49:02.was a bit different. On Monday night when the rest of the guys were out

:49:03. > :49:08.in the 200-metre heats, he was said to be too six to compete, after some

:49:09. > :49:14.twists and turns, the IAAF allowed him to do some time trials which he

:49:15. > :49:19.came through in flying colours and then he lined up in a semifinal, and

:49:20. > :49:26.he looked fantastic, quite frankly. We have to remember where his

:49:27. > :49:28.strengths are, he is first and foremost a 400-metre hurdles and

:49:29. > :49:32.they are used to doing these back-to-back races. They do it in

:49:33. > :49:40.training. He has high speed endurance. The has fantastic speed

:49:41. > :49:47.and he will put van Niekerk under huge pressure. I think he is feeling

:49:48. > :49:52.it, I really do. Van Niekerk, I agree, I think he is feeling the

:49:53. > :49:57.fatigue. Van Niekerk is going to put pressure on him. The problem for van

:49:58. > :50:01.Niekerk is that Makwala is going to be out in front of him on the

:50:02. > :50:06.outside lane and that he's going to be blazing around the turn. What do

:50:07. > :50:11.you do about that as a 400-metre hurdles becomes down to the 200

:50:12. > :50:14.metres and can't match the speed? How patient do you be to hope that

:50:15. > :50:21.your speed endurance is going to come through? He will realise that

:50:22. > :50:24.he has speed endurance but this died does too because he's a 400 metres

:50:25. > :50:29.specialist as well and that's problem for van Niekerk.

:50:30. > :50:35.Mitchell-Blake, growing up in Ilford, moving to Jamaica when he

:50:36. > :50:41.was in his teens and they called him richest there, that was his

:50:42. > :50:45.nickname. He went to in America which is why we haven't seen as much

:50:46. > :50:50.of him in recent years but he has great talent, Steve Cram and this is

:50:51. > :50:54.a great experience, a chance to get in the blanket finish and then, who

:50:55. > :51:07.knows what? The line-up for the 200-metre final.

:51:08. > :51:19.From the outside. Webb of the United States. The American champion, he is

:51:20. > :51:27.there to be chased. The brilliant challenge from Japan, Sani Brown, 18

:51:28. > :51:30.years of age, in lane eight. Hasn't been mentioned by most but a lot of

:51:31. > :51:37.people think that this man is the one to beat. Richards, Trinidad and

:51:38. > :51:43.Tobago. 20 years ago when the title was on Mac in 1997 by someone from

:51:44. > :51:50.there. Can he repeat that? -- when the title was won. Setting fire to

:51:51. > :51:55.the rain, which is what he did yesterday, Makwala, in qualifying

:51:56. > :52:02.for this final. Can he win Botswana's first medal as a male?

:52:03. > :52:07.What about Guliyev? Again, not mentioned by many but he won't be

:52:08. > :52:13.far away, he'll be in the mix. From Azerbaijan, running for Turkey.

:52:14. > :52:29.Young, the first time here in the final. Van Niekerk attempting the

:52:30. > :52:33.double. 400 is and 200 metres. Has he got anything left in his legs?

:52:34. > :52:49.You have to go back 30 years for a British medal, John Regis in 1987.

:52:50. > :52:55.If the crowd could help it, then they'd love to see him somehow to

:52:56. > :53:01.get Bass Matt Crossen how to get amongst these 200-metre runners

:53:02. > :53:09.here. Mitchell-Blake is on the outside in lane two. Van Niekerk and

:53:10. > :53:12.Makwala, the two fastest in the world coming into these

:53:13. > :53:15.championships, but Richards and Guliyev have shown what they are

:53:16. > :53:36.capable of. The 200-metre final. Richards gets a good start and so

:53:37. > :53:40.does Makwala. On the outside, being chased by Sani Brown. Mitchell-Blake

:53:41. > :53:46.is trying to chase van Niekerk who is in this as well. Guliyev in the

:53:47. > :53:50.middle. Just leading. Which is coming up. It's going to be very

:53:51. > :53:58.tight on the line. Who's going to get it? It's Guliyev! The man from

:53:59. > :54:04.Azerbaijan, who moved to Turkey, has come through. He was banned from

:54:05. > :54:07.running for three or four years and he couldn't come to the Olympic

:54:08. > :54:14.games in 2012 and couldn't take part in this stadium then, but he's come

:54:15. > :54:17.here in 2017 and has become the world champion, Turkey's first ever

:54:18. > :54:25.gold medal of the World Championships. All around him, the

:54:26. > :54:30.names were there, van Niekerk, Makwala, Webb, they were very close.

:54:31. > :54:36.Richards was trying to charge in as well but it was Guliyev who came

:54:37. > :54:46.through the middle and won it. He was always a danger. Van Niekerk and

:54:47. > :54:52.Richards. Van Niekerk has been given the nod by 1000th of a second. We've

:54:53. > :54:55.had some shocks at these championships, I'm not saying it was

:54:56. > :55:00.a shock because van Niekerk was tired. He is delighted with silver.

:55:01. > :55:04.Well done to him and also young Richards as well. Mitchell-Blake was

:55:05. > :55:10.fourth in the end, running really well in lane two. Coming off the

:55:11. > :55:15.bend, you don't often see races where five, six, seven men had the

:55:16. > :55:19.chance of winning. I've got a big smile on my face because it was such

:55:20. > :55:22.an exciting race. You couldn't have called who was going to come down

:55:23. > :55:27.the home straight and take the title. I think Guliyev knew that he

:55:28. > :55:31.had the capability, she has been strong through these championships,

:55:32. > :55:38.through the qualifying rounds, he's powered his way through -- he has

:55:39. > :55:41.been strong. Taking the title, through a classy field, these are

:55:42. > :55:45.the top 200-metre runners in the world at the moment. At this stage

:55:46. > :55:54.you couldn't call who was going to come off the bend better or

:55:55. > :55:59.stronger. Makwala, van Niekerk, Guliyev. This is where Richards

:56:00. > :56:07.makes a charge. You could feel that everybody tightens up and he's going

:56:08. > :56:11.to dash for the line. Mitchell-Blake coming in. This was a really good

:56:12. > :56:17.quality 200 metres. We like seeing this. Makwala dropped off. The top

:56:18. > :56:22.three did something special. All of them trying to keep their form, not

:56:23. > :56:28.asking for more, they're just trying to maintain what they've generated

:56:29. > :56:36.already. Makwala, he's off the pace now. Richards. What was the

:56:37. > :56:49.difference between van Niekerk and Richards? One 1000th between silver

:56:50. > :56:54.and bronze, fantastic. Well, he is wearing the Azerbaijan flag, not the

:56:55. > :56:59.Turkish flag. He moved to Turkey because of their better system. He

:57:00. > :57:02.had a big argument with his own federation because they sat down

:57:03. > :57:06.with him and said no, we'll help you and they made him offers to stay but

:57:07. > :57:11.he decided to go to Turkey. So it's a goal model for Turkey. Look how

:57:12. > :57:17.close Mitchell-Blake was in lane two. Charging and charging. Webb

:57:18. > :57:22.falling away at the end. Three of them almost in a line, it was so

:57:23. > :57:31.close and Mitchell-Blake, another fourth place for Great Britain.

:57:32. > :57:37.Michael, you were watching? I am, Steve, watching Mitchell-Blake here,

:57:38. > :57:43.struggling around the corner but when he gets off the bend he's got

:57:44. > :57:46.some good speed endurance, trying to chase these guys down and he's able

:57:47. > :57:51.to do that because a lot of people on the far side started faltering,

:57:52. > :57:59.Makwala being one of them. Young faltered, just not enough left for

:58:00. > :58:04.Mitchell-Blake. You can see the difference, van Niekerk, he has nice

:58:05. > :58:08.technique, not a lot of rotation of his torso. In contrast,

:58:09. > :58:14.Mitchell-Blake on the right-hand side, rotation in his torso, trying

:58:15. > :58:18.to get there. Fourth is a good performance for him, he's had a long

:58:19. > :58:24.season this year in the US, preparing him for these sorts of

:58:25. > :58:28.championships. Guliyev has been consistent throughout these

:58:29. > :58:35.championships. We thought that Richards, another young talent, from

:58:36. > :58:38.federal and Tobago, coming here, these guys have been running

:58:39. > :58:43.personal bests to get to the final and they have run out of energy --

:58:44. > :58:49.from Trinidad and Tobago. And what Makwala did with those two races

:58:50. > :58:53.yesterday. Van Niekerk getting in there for the second place, Silver

:58:54. > :59:05.Medal. Kudos to Guliyev, great performance from him.

:59:06. > :59:13.A much improved Richards from Trinidad and Tobago. Mitchell-Blake,

:59:14. > :59:17.superb run from him in fourth, very close again, yet another fourth

:59:18. > :59:23.place for Great Britain but he can be pleased with his performance.

:59:24. > :59:33.STUDIO: Thank you, Steve. Yet another nation on top of the podium

:59:34. > :59:37.because Turkey get their first goal. Guliyev has looked dangerous through

:59:38. > :59:41.these championships -- getting their first gold medal. Not a real

:59:42. > :59:46.surprise. No, it was always going to be tight and I thought that Guliyev

:59:47. > :59:50.and Richards looked the best through the rounds, they've been the most

:59:51. > :59:55.consistent and they ended up finishing first and second. Thank

:59:56. > :00:00.you, Michael. We're going to lead BBC One now. We have the news coming

:00:01. > :00:06.up. We're going to continue with reaction to the race on

:00:07. > :00:07.It's been a knockout day in the Premier League.

:00:08. > :00:10...this season, the whole game in full

:00:11. > :00:13.It's been a knockout day in the Premier League.
