:00:44.:01:01.

We live in a fast-paced world right now. A lot of things can be done in

:01:02.:01:10.

a very short amount of time. Particularly within 20 seconds. You

Welcome to the seventh day of the World Athletics Championships, if

:02:10.:02:14.

you have been watching on BBC Two, welcome back. Three finals tonight

:02:15.:02:20.

with the men's 200 metres one of the most eagerly anticipated races of

:02:21.:02:24.

this championships and that was not already, what has happened in the

:02:25.:02:29.

last few days to this man has thrown even more of the spotlight on Isaac

:02:30.:02:33.

Makwala, that was the end of his time trial, after his reprieve,

:02:34.:02:38.

tried to qualify for the semifinal and he did that in 20.2 seconds and

:02:39.:02:46.

then he qualified comfortably in the rain last night. The sun is shining

:02:47.:02:50.

tonight, the fastest man in the world this year and his great rival,

:02:51.:02:58.

Wayde van Niekerk, the 400 metres champion, did not look as

:02:59.:03:02.

comfortable last night in the semifinal but he is a man of

:03:03.:03:06.

considerable talent, always pushing himself to achieve more. He is

:03:07.:03:11.

looking to do what Michael Johnson did, be very difficult double. And

:03:12.:03:16.

Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake has been running well this year, from Great

:03:17.:03:22.

Britain. As Michael predicts, it could be a blanket finish but could

:03:23.:03:27.

the British athlete be fighting for the medal? Hear is what is coming

:03:28.:03:33.

up, the heats of the women's 800 metres ongoing and the men's triple

:03:34.:03:40.

jump, candy world record bid broken? Then the men's 1500 metres with

:03:41.:03:47.

three British athletes. The women's 200 metres semifinal followed by the

:03:48.:03:53.

women's 400m hurdles final, featuring Eilidh Doyle. And the

:03:54.:03:58.

final event is that men's 200 metres with Wayde van Niekerk attempting to

:03:59.:04:05.

complete his London double. I very busy evening, a completely different

:04:06.:04:08.

feel to the absolute deluge we had last night. It did not dampen the

:04:09.:04:15.

enthusiasm of the crowds, cheering wildly but tonight it does feel more

:04:16.:04:20.

like summer and Denise and Michael are enjoying that. As we change

:04:21.:04:26.

channels, the fifth of the heats of the women's 800 metres was taking

:04:27.:04:31.

place, Paula Radcliffe and Steve Cram calling this

:04:32.:04:35.

The start list. Mcdonald from Jamaica. The favourite will be

:04:36.:04:51.

Lipsey. The former world champion is not starting, she has not had a

:04:52.:05:00.

great season coming into this. She did look like she was coming back to

:05:01.:05:05.

her best but not here, sadly. The fastest loser spot is a roundabout

:05:06.:05:15.

the .22 mark. The sixth fastest loser spots available and... Just

:05:16.:05:31.

gliding across, she has spent entire career 800 metres, from very good

:05:32.:05:36.

youngster through the junior ranks and she is letting Lipsey control

:05:37.:05:44.

this, she has had a brilliant year. That is pretty quick. Very quick and

:05:45.:05:54.

that explains why she normally runs from the front. She is sitting and

:05:55.:05:59.

we'll see what pays Lipsey will be doing. Hynne on the inside. And the

:06:00.:06:17.

powerful Ugandan. Ajok on the shoulder of Lipsey. That is as quick

:06:18.:06:26.

as we have seen. And the Australian, Griffith, on the outside, just 20

:06:27.:06:31.

years old. Hinriksdottir on the curve. Ajok holding up the rest of

:06:32.:06:42.

the field. Hynne is looking very good as well, running a good race

:06:43.:06:46.

and Hinriksdottir is looking for space. That was slower. They will

:06:47.:06:52.

try to bring it home quickly. Only the top three going through,

:06:53.:06:57.

Hinriksdottir looking for someone. Right behind the Norwegian. She is

:06:58.:07:07.

shutting Hinriksdottir out. Lipsey leading and finishing quickly.

:07:08.:07:16.

Griffith, not enough here. They will have to wait. The top three going

:07:17.:07:22.

through in the slowest heat so far, sadly for Hinriksdottir and

:07:23.:07:28.

Griffith, that will not be enough. Lipsey continues to impress, some

:07:29.:07:32.

great names in the medal contenders but if anyone falters, Lipsey will

:07:33.:07:39.

not be far-away. She has been impressive all year. That was just a

:07:40.:07:46.

few moments ago. Before we go live to eat six, Steve can update us on

:07:47.:07:57.

the results. -- 86. -- Heat 6. The fastest loser spot is still 22.04.

:07:58.:08:13.

Lipsey showing why. Bearing in mind The Times, it is within the powers

:08:14.:08:20.

of Tracey to go through, not as an automatic qualifier but as one of

:08:21.:08:23.

the fastest losers, just outside two minutes. And although she has not

:08:24.:08:33.

gone below that magical mark of two minutes, she is certainly capable of

:08:34.:08:36.

running the kind of time to go through. This is the line-up. And

:08:37.:08:49.

the big threat overall... Hermansson.

:08:50.:09:04.

Buchel winning the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade in March

:09:05.:09:17.

for the second time. The African refugee team, Hamann. Alemu, she had

:09:18.:09:31.

a new personal best this season. And then Niyonsaba, silver in Bergen.

:09:32.:09:38.

Taking the world title last year. -- in Rio. Second place in the UK

:09:39.:09:56.

Championships, Tracey and Tracey Sharp looking good in her heat. And

:09:57.:10:06.

then 48 sacro of Sweden. -- Hermansson. The fastest losers, six

:10:07.:10:20.

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

:10:21.:10:37.

run this at her leisure, unless there is something awkward. Buchel

:10:38.:10:48.

is also a danger. And Alemu, the 20-year-old Ethiopian. Tracey, she

:10:49.:10:58.

was one of those Secret seven who let the Olympic Flame. And she has

:10:59.:11:01.

made huge strides forward. Knocking on the door of two minutes and she

:11:02.:11:07.

might have to do that today. Running this like this is a race anywhere

:11:08.:11:16.

else. The South African after Semenya. It seems to be moving at a

:11:17.:11:28.

fair old pace. Alemu. That was a very quick first lap, they know what

:11:29.:11:34.

they have to run, if they run faster than 2:02.04, they are in the

:11:35.:11:38.

fastest loser spots. Adelle Tracey needs to stay calm and where she is.

:11:39.:11:52.

Adelle Tracey hanging on at the moment, looking for that time inside

:11:53.:12:04.

2.02. Alemu checking for just a moment. Niyonsaba and Buchel, Adelle

:12:05.:12:17.

Tracey in fourth place and looking strong. Buchel has left the door

:12:18.:12:24.

open! Tracey trying to get through! Niyonsaba just gets that. I am sure

:12:25.:12:30.

that we'll be fine for Adelle Tracey to go through as one of the fastest

:12:31.:12:38.

losers. She was a very big thank you to the South African, who set the

:12:39.:12:44.

pace, Lofstrand, and Adelle Tracey, just out of third place but that is

:12:45.:12:54.

a personal best. 2:00.28. That is the way to do it. Still not beating

:12:55.:13:01.

that two minute barrier but that will come at some stage and she ran

:13:02.:13:06.

very well, looking with some anxiety, for confirmation that she

:13:07.:13:09.

has gone through as a fastest loser but she will, clearly. And the pace

:13:10.:13:18.

at this moment with Adelle Tracey in a very good position, battling hard.

:13:19.:13:26.

Alemu did check to recover from that clip. She can see the gap opening up

:13:27.:13:35.

on the inside and she is not fading, holding her form and Adelle Tracey

:13:36.:13:40.

did exactly the right thing, finishing as hard as she could,

:13:41.:13:45.

fighting to the line, she does not know when she crosses the line, and

:13:46.:13:50.

she is clearly inside what she needed. Still battling but just

:13:51.:13:54.

cannot quite get her shoulder in front of Buchel. It is easy for

:13:55.:14:01.

Niyonsaba, she knows where she is. It is harder for Adelle Tracey,

:14:02.:14:06.

running her personal best, she thought she might get through the

:14:07.:14:10.

inside of Buchel but the Swiss athlete was strong enough to hold

:14:11.:14:17.

on. And Alemu going through also. Adelle Tracey with that personal

:14:18.:14:21.

best going through to the semifinal tomorrow. And that is the way to do

:14:22.:14:26.

it with a personal best! And Buchel offers congratulations. Well done!

:14:27.:14:35.

And a sense of relief but you must be proud of that performance? I just

:14:36.:14:39.

really wanted to go out there and give it my all, to do everything I

:14:40.:14:45.

possibly could, I had the advantage of knowing what others had run but I

:14:46.:14:49.

wanted to run my own race and do that on the track. You were so

:14:50.:14:55.

close, just a matter of time? Yes. OK. I just ran my personal best, I

:14:56.:15:04.

would have liked to qualify automatically. But I am so happy to

:15:05.:15:08.

get through! Like a kid when you want a lot of goes! Fantastic, you

:15:09.:15:13.

let the cauldron here five years ago, congratulations.

:15:14.:15:20.

The women's high jump qualifying is hotting up. 1.94 is the qualifying

:15:21.:15:31.

for the final on Saturday. Lake has had a good attempt so far. Gives it

:15:32.:15:41.

a rattle but it stays on. The young British champion will power be need

:15:42.:15:47.

1.92, maybe 1.94. Morgan Lake is looking good. Let's look at this,

:15:48.:15:54.

when in the Karlov well. -- running the curve well. It's a good

:15:55.:16:06.

clearance. KJT. With a foul at this height. Two high jump mats next to

:16:07.:16:15.

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

:16:16.:16:21.

rhythm on that. The last three strides, much better than her first

:16:22.:16:28.

effort. A clearance of 1.80 nine. Looks like 1.92 is going to be

:16:29.:16:32.

needed to go through to the final on Saturday. KJT is looking very good

:16:33.:16:37.

indeed. Really solid clearance, daylight.

:16:38.:16:53.

Niyonsaba going through. So fast was the last feet that Adelle Tracey,

:16:54.:17:08.

los Strand, all going through as the fastest losers. -- los

:17:09.:17:16.

the last Tate really shook things up in terms of qualifiers. Here they

:17:17.:17:21.

are. Three British athletes going through. Tracey, Lynsey Sharp is

:17:22.:17:30.

true and Caster Semenya. Three British athletes are into the

:17:31.:17:33.

semifinals tomorrow. JAZZY MUSIC van Niekerk takes it and

:17:34.:17:54.

it is a new world record. World champion again.

:17:55.:18:09.

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

:18:10.:18:36.

triple jump final. It is a record that our very own Jonathan Edwards

:18:37.:18:40.

still holds. We will hear from him shortly but firstly let's go back to

:18:41.:18:42.

Gothenberg and the summer of 95. Jonathan Edwards, the world record

:18:43.:18:51.

holder, with his first round jump. Oh, it's huge, its massive! My

:18:52.:19:07.

goodness. That is fantastic. We could see history in the making in

:19:08.:19:12.

this very first round. Oh, my goodness gracious me. 18.16, a world

:19:13.:19:19.

record for Great Britain and Jonathan Edwards. The crowd

:19:20.:19:23.

anticipating something special once again. Jonathan Edwards of Great

:19:24.:19:30.

Britain. Oh, it's a tough act to follow but he's done it again, I

:19:31.:19:35.

don't believe it! I suppose you have to say, once you're in the groove,

:19:36.:19:40.

nothing can go wrong. But I'll tell you what, that is even further.

:19:41.:19:46.

There it is. Jonathan Edwards has made history again. And he has Saaid

:19:47.:19:52.

his second world record in less than 20 minutes. -- he has set his second

:19:53.:20:00.

world record. Jonathan Edwards, the world record-holder, going in the

:20:01.:20:02.

third round. It is a huge jump again. Christian Olsen and the rest,

:20:03.:20:07.

eat your heart out. The world record-holder is performing again.

:20:08.:20:15.

Memories of Gothenberg in 95. 17.92, again one of the longest jumps in

:20:16.:20:19.

history. Edwards is the world champion.

:20:20.:20:27.

Jonathan, such fantastic memories of Gothenberg, how vivid are those

:20:28.:20:34.

memories to this day? I member it most from Paul Dickinson's

:20:35.:20:39.

commentary, I've done it again, can't believe it, and that goes

:20:40.:20:41.

through my mind when I think about the record. It was a surreal

:20:42.:20:46.

experience, I never dream of not just becoming the world champion but

:20:47.:20:50.

breaking the world record twice and even now when I watch it I have to

:20:51.:20:54.

pinch myself. And holding the record to this day. Did you think it would

:20:55.:21:00.

last this long? I hoped I would break it in subsequent years and

:21:01.:21:03.

spent several years thinking I would but didn't do it and I've seen

:21:04.:21:09.

various athletes, one jumping over 18 metres in Moscow a few years ago.

:21:10.:21:14.

And Christian Taylor now. I'm still holding on by my fingernails. Now

:21:15.:21:19.

working for Eurosport on the other side, looking at Christian Taylor in

:21:20.:21:22.

the final tonight, do you think he's in the shape to challenge your

:21:23.:21:26.

record? If I'm honest he's not in as good shape as he has been

:21:27.:21:30.

previously, he had a good 18-metre jump in the Diamond League but the

:21:31.:21:34.

conditions were really good. They lost in his last competition in

:21:35.:21:39.

Lausanne. I was speaking to Dwight Phillips who is working with the

:21:40.:21:43.

IAAF, the Olympic champion, and he thinks that will Claye is in better

:21:44.:21:48.

shape and it may be his turn. But they may spur each other on to what

:21:49.:21:52.

could be a fantastic competition. Whatever happens, he's going to come

:21:53.:21:56.

through and talk to you. What is it like we view as the champion of old,

:21:57.:22:00.

meeting the champion of the current state, the world record-holder and

:22:01.:22:03.

the man who would like to beat you? We get along very well and he has

:22:04.:22:08.

always been very respectful of me and my achievements and I am of him

:22:09.:22:12.

and his achievements. Were he to break the world record it will be a

:22:13.:22:17.

bit weird. The truth is, I don't mind if he breaks the record, I just

:22:18.:22:21.

prefer not to be here when he does it! Because then I'd have to speak

:22:22.:22:24.

to everyone about it and that isn't much fun. He's a great athlete and

:22:25.:22:30.

he beat pass if it does it I'll be delighted for him. And there is

:22:31.:22:36.

Christian Taylor in the warm up area. Conditions are better than

:22:37.:22:41.

they were 24 hours ago. He's wearing a wristband with 18.30 on it,

:22:42.:22:46.

cheeky! That's what he needs if he's going to get the world record. Will

:22:47.:22:50.

he get it in conditions like this, Steve Backley? Jonathan's assessment

:22:51.:22:56.

was honest, I know he's quite biased, but it isn't the best

:22:57.:23:00.

conditions. I met a family today who said they are coming to watch the

:23:01.:23:03.

world record in the triple jump today, they very specific! That's

:23:04.:23:10.

his biggest challenge. This is what he is chasing, this is the Jonathan

:23:11.:23:14.

Edwards' world record. Amazing that it was 22 years ago. His biggest

:23:15.:23:19.

weapon was his speed on the runway and his ability to transfer that

:23:20.:23:21.

momentum through the phases, retaining the speed. He could do

:23:22.:23:27.

that because he was so strong, he could claim 150 kilos, his body

:23:28.:23:34.

weight was 75. His step was slightly shorter, five metres 22, but look

:23:35.:23:37.

how far his jump is after that, he really gets out. Massive jump into

:23:38.:23:46.

the pit. But it 11 times your body weight going through the floor.

:23:47.:23:50.

Jonathan's dump that day was behind the board. Here is Christian Taylor

:23:51.:23:55.

in Beijing, on his way to his world title. Much more even going through

:23:56.:24:01.

the phases, Christian Taylor. Also active on the floor and space to

:24:02.:24:12.

spare. The hop, 5.96, so slightly shorter than Jonathan but this is

:24:13.:24:15.

his big weapon, his massive step, nearly six metres. He compromises,

:24:16.:24:21.

maybe a bit less in the third and final phase, losing 67 meet --

:24:22.:24:29.

losing six centimetres. Both of them happy to continue their momentum

:24:30.:24:32.

through the phases and that is the key to world-class triple jumping.

:24:33.:24:36.

Christian Taylor goes into the competition clearly as the favourite

:24:37.:24:42.

but watch out for Will Claye, Jonathan Edwards mentioned him. This

:24:43.:24:49.

is the start list. A couple of names, low-end ski, Centrowitz and

:24:50.:24:58.

the British representative also. Torrens is running well. Bustos.

:24:59.:25:07.

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

:25:08.:25:19.

Three men from one athletics club representing Great Britain in the

:25:20.:25:22.

1500 metres. Edinburgh athletics club. Chris O'Hair, Josh Kerr and

:25:23.:25:27.

Jake Wightman. Josh Kerr perhaps with the toughest one here. He also

:25:28.:25:36.

has Manangoi and Kiprop, the two very good Kenyans, and Suleiman, in

:25:37.:25:39.

days gone by, from Djibouti, the indoor champion. Not going as well

:25:40.:25:47.

these days. Josh Kerr, what a year he's had, he started, went off, some

:25:48.:25:52.

pushing and shoving, he went to America, having a good collegiate

:25:53.:25:56.

career, coming back to the trials, qualifying. He got the qualifying

:25:57.:26:03.

time as well by the smallest of margins, 100th of a second and here

:26:04.:26:06.

he is in the World Championships running in the heats. It's great,

:26:07.:26:11.

Steve, the 19-year-old athlete starting on a career that we hope

:26:12.:26:14.

will be a long and fruitful career. And the three Scots are carrying our

:26:15.:26:19.

hopes for qualification through the first round and then the Sunni final

:26:20.:26:26.

and into the final. Josh Kerr, this is where you learn -- and then the

:26:27.:26:31.

semifinal. The place is steady and comfortable, it isn't a Diamond

:26:32.:26:36.

League circuit event, the pacemakers, which is why you get 63

:26:37.:26:41.

seconds for the first lap. Very slow for these guys. The Olympic

:26:42.:26:47.

champion, Centrowitz, and the three-time Olympic champion, Kiprop,

:26:48.:26:49.

the canyon, who hasn't been in the best shape this year. I was chatting

:26:50.:26:55.

to him and he said, don't worry, I love the World Championships -- he

:26:56.:27:00.

is from Kenya. He always says that. The man who is in really good form,

:27:01.:27:08.

Manangoi. Manangoi is a big danger. Kiprop, three times the world

:27:09.:27:12.

champion. He makes you nervous, if you are a coach you will be extra

:27:13.:27:15.

nervous but sometimes he's unbelievable. Occasionally, less so.

:27:16.:27:21.

Which one has turned up tonight? The Olympic champion in the blue vest,

:27:22.:27:26.

Centrowitz. This is one that he'll be wanting to take, qualifying

:27:27.:27:33.

culpably and CB journey like he did in Rio, leading to a gold medal

:27:34.:27:38.

again -- and see the journey. This is a tough heat. A very tough heat.

:27:39.:27:44.

They've gone very slowly here. The six fastest losers. Josh Kerr. A

:27:45.:27:52.

good finish, that's why he would be too bothered. He probably thinks his

:27:53.:27:57.

best chance is a slow finish because he's fast, he's a strong boy, 19

:27:58.:28:02.

years old, not fearful. Each reader looking for some room. Just pushing

:28:03.:28:10.

through -- Iguider looking for some room. 500 metres to go. It is

:28:11.:28:15.

starting to warm up. They are all moving up. It's going to be tricky,

:28:16.:28:21.

very difficult to call. Centrowitz is cruising. Here comes Kiprop, the

:28:22.:28:28.

champion, accelerating like mad. 2.53 at the bell. Very slow. Kiprop,

:28:29.:28:35.

is that going to be enough? He's in the position he wants to be.

:28:36.:28:38.

Manangoi is telling him where he wants to be. This isn't the Kiprop

:28:39.:28:45.

as old. He can't beat Manangoi as easily as that, Suleiman as well.

:28:46.:28:50.

Let Madejski is moving up on the 800 metres specialist -- Lewandowski is

:28:51.:28:58.

moving up. Josh Kerr is going to move the Olympic champion,

:28:59.:29:01.

Centrowitz, if he happens a chance. Iguider as well. The top six are

:29:02.:29:06.

going through. Josh Kerr struggling. Into the home straight, they have a

:29:07.:29:14.

chance. Benitz, the German as well. Iguider is there. Maybe the Aussie

:29:15.:29:23.

got there. What a Venice! That was incredible. Well, Josh Kerr was run

:29:24.:29:31.

out of it in the end -- what a finish. A chance being taken by the

:29:32.:29:36.

big names. The biggest chance, the biggest shock was the Olympic

:29:37.:29:42.

champion, coming absolutely last. He's not been in very good shape,

:29:43.:29:46.

has he? He hasn't been going well but that's amazing, how it went.

:29:47.:29:51.

Hard to call and hard to read and hard to measure! Lewandowski,

:29:52.:29:59.

Manangoi, Iguider here coming. Look at them, six of them will qualify

:30:00.:30:03.

and its changing all the time. Kiprop is trying to hold it.

:30:04.:30:10.

Manangoi looks decent. Just on the edge of the picture, Mekhissi.

:30:11.:30:19.

I would not want to call that from this position! Williamsz sneaking

:30:20.:30:37.

into that sixth spot. Kerr was not far behind but given there were so

:30:38.:30:42.

many ahead of him, I fear for his hopes of advancing. I have gone two

:30:43.:30:46.

horse races occasionally and you never see a photo finish like that!

:30:47.:30:54.

That is as close... Giving it was so slow, you could not have thought

:30:55.:30:58.

Mekhissi would be in seventh place, there. The first round of the triple

:30:59.:31:08.

jump final. Alexis Copello from Azerbaijan, in the lead. 17.16. Will

:31:09.:31:20.

Claye. Looking to get his mark in, to give his team-mate, Christian

:31:21.:31:25.

Taylor, something to think about. Will Claye, the first round of the

:31:26.:31:29.

triple jump final, hitting the ground hard, that is a big job.

:31:30.:31:35.

Beyond 17 metres. But is a good start. Excellent start. Can we see

:31:36.:31:45.

the replay? The hop, that league needs to be directly underneath you,

:31:46.:31:52.

the hop and the step, slightly bend at the knee and slightly ahead of

:31:53.:32:01.

him. 17.54, that will take the lead and give Christian Taylor something

:32:02.:32:04.

to think about. Great start from Will Claye. Can Johnson-Thompson...

:32:05.:32:22.

? The bar has been raised. 1.92. She will need this at the first attempt,

:32:23.:32:28.

more likely. That is good! From KK J. -- from Thomson Johnson. I have a

:32:29.:32:38.

suspicion that might be good enough to take through to the final. That

:32:39.:32:44.

would be great. Morgan Lake on the opposite side. Catherine Thompson

:32:45.:32:49.

Johnson out Katarina Johnson-Thompson. The first time

:32:50.:32:55.

clearance is just so important, 1.92. The main man. The Olympic

:32:56.:33:03.

champion, twice. Their world champion twice. Christian Taylor.

:33:04.:33:10.

Looking for support. He knows the mark from his team-mate, Will Claye,

:33:11.:33:25.

17.74, is the lead. -- 17.54. Round one. Well, that was tentative. Very

:33:26.:33:31.

heavy on the ground. I could hear that slapping the ground. He did not

:33:32.:33:37.

time that right. I think he was leading with his foot but a very

:33:38.:33:44.

heavy landing. Yes, he collapsed on the first phase and that killed his

:33:45.:33:50.

forward speed. Lots of space on the board and a bit of a timing issue

:33:51.:33:55.

for Christian Taylor, and that is a problem of building yourself up as

:33:56.:34:00.

the record challenger. His team-mate will play out in front, that is his

:34:01.:34:06.

mission this evening, to claim another world title and Christian

:34:07.:34:11.

Taylor in fifth place. With 16.90 seven. Just talking to his coach,

:34:12.:34:23.

also the Dutch coach. It is a question of keeping the leg straight

:34:24.:34:27.

and maintaining speed over the top, 12 times body weight, through his

:34:28.:34:35.

leg, close to one time. That is what you will do if you put your foot in

:34:36.:34:38.

the wrong place, it will cause you to buckle just a little bit. Morgan

:34:39.:34:50.

Lake. She has seen her team-mate, going clear at 1.92. The second

:34:51.:34:56.

attempt was a foul. Morgan Lake... Badger! Great clearance from the

:34:57.:35:07.

youngster. -- better. She just had a little bit of a tweak and a bend, it

:35:08.:35:13.

was not as smooth, but this is much better, driving freely, what a

:35:14.:35:20.

fantastic drive that is. Well up and some good clearance, excellent,

:35:21.:35:30.

second time clearance at 1.92. It was the tightest of finishes with

:35:31.:35:35.

two tenths of a second between the top six. I fear for the others, that

:35:36.:35:44.

has given the other two eats something to aim for, 3.46, that is

:35:45.:35:59.

pretty comfortable. Kerr is in the fastest loser spot and the Olympic

:36:00.:36:08.

champion was last. Chris O'Hare getting ready to go in the 1500m, he

:36:09.:36:16.

is really in the form of his life. There are couple nonstarters. From

:36:17.:36:25.

Ethiopia and Morocco. 13 starters. Kwemoi. All of those fast times set

:36:26.:36:43.

in Monaco. Musagala, he will also be a big threat, he was a finalist in

:36:44.:36:54.

Rio. Andrews, winning the US title. Holusa can finish very quickly. And

:36:55.:37:05.

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

:37:06.:37:12.

heart in 2015 to make the final of the World Championships and then

:37:13.:37:16.

faded in the final but he is a different athlete, as is Willis.

:37:17.:37:22.

Maybe his better days are behind him is still a very good racer, just has

:37:23.:37:28.

not had the pace as in recent years but twice and Olympic medallist. And

:37:29.:37:34.

off they go. The second heat of the men's 1500 metres. The first was not

:37:35.:37:41.

quick, it was a very interesting race but nobody will want to take

:37:42.:37:45.

that risk, someone set a decent pace. I think it will be quick. 3.40

:37:46.:37:53.

six. You just have to run steady in the early part and that is what they

:37:54.:37:59.

are doing. Chris O'Hare, another Scotsman, living in the United

:38:00.:38:04.

States, he is representing Scotland and Great Britain tonight. Steve

:38:05.:38:09.

said he thinks he is running well this season and we should see

:38:10.:38:13.

something exciting from him over the next couple of days. The first job

:38:14.:38:18.

is to qualify here. This is not as challenging as the first heat. But

:38:19.:38:27.

still some very good manners. The canyon is the third fastest in the

:38:28.:38:31.

world this year and he looks like he is putting himself in the position

:38:32.:38:36.

to join his team-mates, there are two Kenyan qualifiers. Enzema,

:38:37.:38:47.

there. He will not be there for long. And Andrews not far away. Very

:38:48.:38:55.

talented American. At the moment, Chris O'Hare sitting in the engine

:38:56.:39:02.

room, he runs tactically very well, sometimes his place ultimately saves

:39:03.:39:09.

towards the end but he's now has the pace to match his tactical brain. He

:39:10.:39:18.

is in good stead, behind him the experienced New Zealander, Willis

:39:19.:39:30.

and the Australian, Gregson, both very good athletes in every sense.

:39:31.:39:37.

3.29, the best time for Willis a few years ago. And 3.31, 425 pacro. You

:39:38.:39:45.

just need to get that position. You are looking for experience, Chris

:39:46.:39:53.

O'Hare, running nicely, another trip, two athletes, it is starting

:39:54.:39:58.

to disturb me. They are running too close to each other. Chris O'Hare

:39:59.:40:03.

noticed it was getting cluttered and crowded and the pace has dropped, he

:40:04.:40:10.

moved on to the outside. Douma was just outside the medals in Amsterdam

:40:11.:40:15.

at the European Championships. But this is a good position. Chris

:40:16.:40:23.

O'Hare has to hold on. He will have to come from a very long way back.

:40:24.:40:28.

He is just behind Chris O'Hare. He cannot take any chances. Chris

:40:29.:40:41.

O'Hare has got the pace and he is in the right position. And Ryan

:40:42.:40:45.

Gregson, the American. Six going through automatically. Chris O'Hare

:40:46.:40:52.

judging the bunch. He will have plenty of pace. Willis in seventh

:40:53.:41:00.

place and here they come once more, quicker than the first heat. And

:41:01.:41:10.

down goes Douma from the Netherlands. How cruel for him! The

:41:11.:41:18.

victory went to Bahrain. Dirty Den pacro. That was cruel for Douma,

:41:19.:41:26.

trudging across the line, he was so close and in the next one of the

:41:27.:41:35.

qualifying places. The pace was not lightning fast. Too many people

:41:36.:41:40.

involved on the bike straight. Chris O'Hare. Holusa accelerating and look

:41:41.:41:56.

at the black vest of New Zealand, Willis running between the runners,

:41:57.:42:01.

giving them that bomb. And Douma from the Netherlands, he looked

:42:02.:42:08.

comfortable. And here came Willis but looking over his shoulder, Chris

:42:09.:42:13.

O'Hare, there is not much left to do, and there is that trip. They

:42:14.:42:17.

might want to look carefully at that. Willis cruising through. But

:42:18.:42:33.

that one... Well... It was Musagala. He is looking across and I think he

:42:34.:42:39.

was tripped by the Ugandan athlete moving into quickly. Just what I

:42:40.:42:45.

would say, I think he made that himself. He is looking around too

:42:46.:42:53.

much and he catches Musagala first and in correcting himself, he then

:42:54.:42:58.

hits Douma so I do not think they will advance him. They will clear

:42:59.:43:04.

that up. Chris O'Hare is safely through and he is talking to fail.

:43:05.:43:12.

-- Philip. As always, great effort. What have you added to your game to

:43:13.:43:24.

put you in such good stead? A baby! Truthfully, my son, Ronan, and my

:43:25.:43:29.

wife, my home is more of the motivation than before. And it is

:43:30.:43:33.

just so easy to get up in the morning and work and go to bed

:43:34.:43:37.

exhausted, even though you know you are getting up again in a couple of

:43:38.:43:41.

hours. But having them has been huge for me. I cannot thank them enough.

:43:42.:43:48.

In terms of your performance, you have stepped things up, you do like

:43:49.:43:52.

those grounds. And there is plenty more to come? To be fair, I got a

:43:53.:43:59.

little bit excited today, at 400 I thought this was slow and the Kenyan

:44:00.:44:07.

boy did a good job so I had to go quicker to get past him but I still

:44:08.:44:12.

felt comfortable. 100 metres to go and I knew I was in. We wish you

:44:13.:44:18.

well for the semifinal. I appreciate it. Thank you.

:44:19.:44:29.

It has been a knockout day in the Premier League.

:44:30.:44:43.

This is Daniel Sturridge, around the goalkeeper and his chorus! That

:44:44.:44:53.

could be a crucial goal! -- and he scores! Football is for all of us.

:44:54.:45:02.

O'Hare never copy your hero's haircut! If you want a second screen

:45:03.:45:15.

action, we have coverage of the US PGA Championship, the fourth and

:45:16.:45:16.

final major of the year. Coverage of that all weekend on the

:45:17.:45:32.

BBC. We are here all weekend as well and we hope it will stay as lovely

:45:33.:45:36.

as it has been tonight, dry, perfect conditions. Are they perfect, Steve

:45:37.:45:41.

Backley, for the high jump and triple jump? They are very good

:45:42.:45:47.

indeed. Will Claye made a good start, 17.50 four. If it wasn't for

:45:48.:45:54.

his team-mate, Christian Taylor, he would be the double Olympic

:45:55.:45:58.

champion. That must put some spice in the pit of your stomach. Second

:45:59.:46:05.

round, looking to extend his lead. Oh, it's a big jump. Game on. Will

:46:06.:46:10.

Claye really taking it to his team-mate, Christian Taylor. Looking

:46:11.:46:20.

to extend that 17.50 four. If you look at his foot, leading with his

:46:21.:46:25.

thigh, really pulling underneath. How he maintains his speed, just

:46:26.:46:34.

holding it up. Reaching out, lovely position there. Well, Will Claye,

:46:35.:46:42.

17.50 two. Maybe losing a little bit in the middle. He's in the lead.

:46:43.:46:48.

Christian Taylor, then, the undisputed champion of the world.

:46:49.:46:54.

But he's being asked questions in these early stages. Very modest

:46:55.:47:04.

start for him. He slapped the ground hard, maybe trying too hard. Talk of

:47:05.:47:09.

a world record, potentially distracting. He's got to take care

:47:10.:47:16.

of business here. Round two. It is long, that's a big jump. Much

:47:17.:47:21.

better, much better on that one. On the first phase he didn't collapse

:47:22.:47:26.

as much, really pulling his foot underneath. Still not happy, though.

:47:27.:47:32.

Leading with his thigh, pulling, a little bit of a collapse, not much

:47:33.:47:38.

of a step phase. He could get more. Very smart shoes for tonight! It's a

:47:39.:47:46.

big occasion, Toni. Taylor is looking to defend his title. It's

:47:47.:47:49.

going to be close, this. Waiting for his measurements. 17.50 seven. So,

:47:50.:48:01.

great news for Great Britain from the women's high jump. A big smile

:48:02.:48:05.

for Katarina Johnson-Thompson because the clearance we saw, taking

:48:06.:48:11.

her through to the final. That's on Saturday. As does Morgan Lake, so

:48:12.:48:22.

two Brits are in contention. Lasitskene looking very impressive.

:48:23.:48:27.

Two British athletes are in contention. Four medals on Saturday

:48:28.:48:37.

in the high jump. Excellent news, two flew to the final. Can we get

:48:38.:48:42.

another British athlete into the mains semifinal in the 1500 metres?

:48:43.:48:47.

Sadly Josh Kerr has already gone but his clubmate has gone through, Chris

:48:48.:48:50.

O'Hare, and here is another one, Jake Wightman. He's so looking

:48:51.:48:59.

forward to this. He is against this young man here, a great talent,

:49:00.:49:06.

Cheruiyot. Manangoi has gone through. The top six, four Jake

:49:07.:49:17.

Wightman. That's the task here. He's got some very good athletes in here.

:49:18.:49:29.

Ingebrigtsen, but on a normal day he would say that in the form he's in,

:49:30.:49:37.

winning the Oslo Diamond League, he'll be thinking that he can beat

:49:38.:49:43.

most of these. Berglund is a bit of a committed front runner. He's

:49:44.:49:51.

looked at the clock. 3.43, we can get 12 through here if they all work

:49:52.:49:54.

together. Going out with real intent. He has, and why not? It is

:49:55.:50:01.

much to their benefit. Jake Wightman has really come on here. I was

:50:02.:50:07.

impressed with his run in Oslo when he won the 1500 metres in the

:50:08.:50:15.

Diamond League. I'm sure that his father, Jeff Wightman, the stadium

:50:16.:50:19.

and answer, will be excited -- stadium announcer. Jake Wightman is

:50:20.:50:25.

in a good position. Steady pace being provided, that is the way to

:50:26.:50:31.

do it. Running in the 800 metres. Following Berglund, the tall Pole.

:50:32.:50:47.

The big kickers, the likes of Mechaal, Tesfaye on his day, Mathews

:50:48.:50:55.

moving into a better position. They are happy to sit off a little bit.

:50:56.:51:01.

Struggling to make the team and only just qualifying, Al Khan -- Elkaam.

:51:02.:51:12.

Jake Wightman moving to the fund, he doesn't want this to slow too much.

:51:13.:51:18.

-- to the front. If they keep going at this place, they could all

:51:19.:51:21.

qualify. That is the advantage of the last heat. Look at what is

:51:22.:51:28.

happening in the other heats. 3.43 is enough and this pace can easily

:51:29.:51:32.

do that, so a load of them could qualify. They know this and they

:51:33.:51:36.

will know more when they come to the bell. Ingebrigtsen in the Norwegian

:51:37.:51:42.

vest, just moving back inside. You don't want to find yourself boxed

:51:43.:51:46.

in. Just extricating himself very nicely. Wightman is in a good

:51:47.:51:51.

position. He has Cheruiyot, the world junior champion, on his

:51:52.:51:56.

shoulder. Berglund finding himself squeezed out. Here comes the

:51:57.:52:06.

Spaniard, Mechaal. 2.44, they've only got to run 59 to get a fast

:52:07.:52:10.

time and they are doing it, already motoring. That lap was 58. On his

:52:11.:52:16.

way now. Come on, Jake Wightman, you're doing well. He looks

:52:17.:52:23.

comfortable as well. Not many people challenging from behind. Cheruiyot

:52:24.:52:25.

with that slightly awkward action of his. Wightman is looking good,

:52:26.:52:30.

Mathews on the inside, Ingebrigtsen is staying patient, as is Mechaal.

:52:31.:52:38.

Starting to pull clear. Berglund coming back into it. Jake Wightman

:52:39.:52:42.

being cheered home. Mathews is there, Ingebrigtsen, Mechaal,

:52:43.:52:50.

Tesfaye. They will go through, those six and fastest losers behind them.

:52:51.:52:57.

Just watching the clock. Even all the way back to the one who just

:52:58.:53:03.

crossed the line, Debjani, it's going to be tight. The three

:53:04.:53:14.

Kenyans, the four Kenyans, the favourites, one of them perhaps

:53:15.:53:19.

losing his place. Jake Wightman is safely through. Well-run, Jake

:53:20.:53:25.

Wightman. There they are. They know how fast they are going. These

:53:26.:53:30.

athletes look at the split times, they look at the clock, they know

:53:31.:53:33.

that six will go through automatically and they know they've

:53:34.:53:37.

only got to run 3.43, to qualify. Jake Wightman holding the inside.

:53:38.:53:43.

Just next to him, one of the Kenyan favourites, he's got no problem, as

:53:44.:53:49.

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

:53:50.:53:53.

behind them, all of them will qualify. So they've done it

:53:54.:53:58.

sensibly, running steadily, running well under 3.43, so that whole

:53:59.:54:04.

group, 11th athletes on that, we'll go through to the men's semifinal.

:54:05.:54:14.

The news is that the next of the fastest losers, chrome Ooi -- Kwemoi

:54:15.:54:28.

will go through. It will be tough in the semis, I suspect it may warm up.

:54:29.:54:32.

We don't want to see much of that slower running. This heat was a bit

:54:33.:54:37.

stronger. Let us see how Jake assessed his performance. Let's get

:54:38.:54:45.

that assessment. This is new to you, this stage and you put on an

:54:46.:54:50.

accomplished performance. How did it go? We got lucky with that heat, I

:54:51.:54:55.

knew that if the pace was quick enough there would be a lot of

:54:56.:54:58.

fastest losers. Getting through was the main aim, the top six. I've got

:54:59.:55:03.

pretty good and relaxed, nice to get through. That's the key, taking to

:55:04.:55:08.

the stage, proving that you belong and you look like you do. I hope so,

:55:09.:55:15.

the first round is always going to be the test and I felt good there

:55:16.:55:19.

and I'm confident I can go well in the semis. What is it like to have

:55:20.:55:25.

your dad as the stadium announcer, announcing to everyone, Wightman,

:55:26.:55:30.

qualified? It's good, I'm used to it now, he's always there and I know he

:55:31.:55:33.

has the best date to watch every race. That's good for a coach! Is

:55:34.:55:39.

the right thing for him to do and as a dad he will support you, as do we.

:55:40.:55:46.

Thank you very much. The lead in the triple jump final is Christian

:55:47.:55:51.

Taylor and his team-mate, Will Claye. This is the second round.

:55:52.:56:00.

Nelson Evora, 34 years of age now. Seems to have been around for ever.

:56:01.:56:07.

Took the Olympic title in 2008, depriving Phillips Idowu. This is

:56:08.:56:13.

his second round effort, chasing the two Americans. So, that was a little

:56:14.:56:27.

back of 17 metres. His job is in third place. We are in the third

:56:28.:56:32.

round now. Evora, previous world champion as well. So he has some

:56:33.:56:37.

pedigree and he's amongst the medals again. He's always so consistent.

:56:38.:56:45.

Good on the board. Once again, great shots there of the leg shoot. And

:56:46.:56:55.

Evora going really well indeed. The Americans on proving to be a bit of

:56:56.:57:05.

a handful, as expected. We can go all the way through the first page

:57:06.:57:09.

here, Mathews, Cheruiyot, Ingebrigtsen, Wightman, they all

:57:10.:57:14.

went through by rights but they were followed by the next five because of

:57:15.:57:20.

that fast heat. All the way through to 11th place and then it was close

:57:21.:57:25.

because Debjani, three seconds behind, nearly going through, but

:57:26.:57:33.

Quesne Moi -- Kwemoi going through into the semis. We're just seeing

:57:34.:57:41.

this man in the second round. Here we are in the third round. Position

:57:42.:57:45.

three, the top right of that caption. Taylor leading ahead of his

:57:46.:57:55.

team-mate, Claye. 17.57 is the lead. Evora is chasing, he is capable but

:57:56.:58:01.

not on this occasion. Evora's national record, 17.74, in 2007. Ten

:58:02.:58:08.

years since he was at his very best. At 33, he's still going well. Third

:58:09.:58:13.

as we stand, closing in on the halfway stage. These and conditions,

:58:14.:58:21.

we've got -- these are decent conditions. A slight following wind.

:58:22.:58:26.

The temperature has clocked off a little bit. Talk of world records

:58:27.:58:31.

maybe disintegrating. No improvement for Nelson Evora. There is a good

:58:32.:58:42.

angle to see the view that the athletes take, 40 metres back from

:58:43.:58:46.

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

:58:47.:58:58.

step, rather, and a jump. Taking them into the pit. Will Claye, two

:58:59.:59:04.

jumps, two centimetres apart. 26 years of age now. Two bronze medals,

:59:05.:59:10.

he's had. He's in silver at the moment. Third round jump, it's a big

:59:11.:59:17.

one, its massive! Will Claye has taken the lead. It's a white flag.

:59:18.:59:23.

That's a better job. We talked about carrying momentum and that's what he

:59:24.:59:29.

did there my goodness, his first phase was incredible, reaching,

:59:30.:59:32.

pulling back under his hips. That's absolutely superb. He carries his

:59:33.:59:39.

speed, really running off the board. 11 centimetres to spare, so it could

:59:40.:59:43.

have been even bigger. We have a showdown. The Americans are

:59:44.:59:48.

exchanging the lead almost every round here. 17.57. Before that, now

:59:49.:59:59.

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

:00:00.:00:04.

phase really pulled him in, keeping his speed. You want to leave the

:00:05.:00:08.

ground and ten metres per second going into the final phase, nearly

:00:09.:00:12.

as quick as the sprinters in the 100 metres final.

:00:13.:00:17.

We can look at the qualifiers for the semifinals of the men's 1500

:00:18.:00:25.

metres. Two Brits going through, Jake Wightman part of that quickest.

:00:26.:00:32.

And Chris O'Hare, looking very comfortable.

:00:33.:00:43.

Kwemoi also goes through. The semifinal is tomorrow.

:00:44.:00:57.

He saw his team-mate launching the implement 91.2 metres. Rohler in the

:00:58.:01:13.

second round. And that is more like it for the Olympic champion. And

:01:14.:01:20.

things shaping up. And that is Vetter. The longest through Everett

:01:21.:01:24.

in qualifying, his team-mate, this will be a very big battle between

:01:25.:01:32.

the Germans, but Rohler is looking a little bit off tonight. That is over

:01:33.:01:48.

83, he can take his shoes off. So, Christian Taylor maybe not quite

:01:49.:01:59.

going to plan for him. Not quite the script that he had written, coming

:02:00.:02:07.

into this stadium with 18.30 written on his hand. Talking about world

:02:08.:02:12.

records, he is not looking like his normal, silky self. There was talk

:02:13.:02:22.

of fighting for the title, that surely has to come first. Before we

:02:23.:02:34.

see Christian Taylor, this is the young man from Cuba. Lifetime best

:02:35.:02:46.

of 17.4. Hitting the board good. Heavy on those steps. And that was a

:02:47.:02:56.

foul. 491 zacro. He is in fifth place. -- Andy Diaz. Bringing Tony

:02:57.:03:07.

in here, what would you say to Christian Taylor? He is a class act.

:03:08.:03:18.

Just give him confidence, he has six jumps, just keep relaxed and run

:03:19.:03:22.

fast on the runway, the speed you generate and really work that off

:03:23.:03:26.

the board and maintain that through the three phases. He has so often in

:03:27.:03:34.

the past delivered his best when exactly in this situation, he is a

:03:35.:03:41.

great competitor. But he is trailing Will Claye. 17.63 is the lead for

:03:42.:03:53.

Will Claye. Christian Taylor, six centimetres behind. Jonathan Edwards

:03:54.:04:01.

watching with Greg Rutherford. His world-record was 18.29. Christian

:04:02.:04:06.

Taylor, fast with the runner-up, that was good, that is a very big

:04:07.:04:13.

jump. Wow! We know that he can compete and he has shown us again,

:04:14.:04:18.

that was a great jump from Christian Taylor, this is going to be close.

:04:19.:04:24.

He just prepares a little bit, poles are little bit ahead of him, bend

:04:25.:04:29.

knee. But still... He got away with it. 11 centimetres. He needs those

:04:30.:04:41.

first two phases to be around about 11.8. He takes the lead by five

:04:42.:04:51.

centimetres! Look at that but three remaining. The women's 200 metres,

:04:52.:04:58.

this is how they line up, Dafne Schippers lining up alongside Deajah

:04:59.:05:00.

Stevens. Kirt was disappointing in the 100

:05:01.:05:18.

but this is for stronger event, she won the US title and Dafne Schippers

:05:19.:05:27.

has a great chance here. Bronze in the 100, she has been running

:05:28.:05:32.

stronger in the two. Jilek winning her heat, although Tony was supposed

:05:33.:05:44.

to run and she pulled out. And Sashalee Forbes, the 21-year-old

:05:45.:05:57.

from Jamaica. And on the inside, the South African, Justine Palframan.

:05:58.:06:05.

Outside Deajah Stevens, we have Ivet Lalova-Collio from Bulgaria. Sarah

:06:06.:06:18.

Atcho and Anthonique Strachan. A reminder that Bianca Williams and

:06:19.:06:25.

Dina Asher-Smith go in the third semifinal. Two going through

:06:26.:06:33.

automatically to the final tomorrow. Look out for Dafne Schippers and

:06:34.:06:40.

Deajah Stevens, who can challenge from around them?

:06:41.:06:53.

Absolute silence and that Laura from 60,000 people, Dafne Schippers

:06:54.:07:03.

powering away. Rebekka Haase in a decent position. Look at Dafne

:07:04.:07:10.

Schippers! Around the bend, looking around already, comfortable, moving

:07:11.:07:15.

towards the final. And strolling across, Deajah Stevens gets second

:07:16.:07:21.

place and as easy and time as you could hope for from Dafne Schippers.

:07:22.:07:26.

We talk about running around the bend and Dafne Schippers mastered

:07:27.:07:34.

that. She really did, very smooth out of the blocks, and to me, that

:07:35.:07:38.

is the best I had seen her running all year. Lovely running, attacking

:07:39.:07:46.

that very well, knowing that she is focused on Deajah Stevens. And then

:07:47.:07:55.

just coming off this bend supremely well, showing why she was the winner

:07:56.:07:59.

of the world title. She is the defending champion and looking very

:08:00.:08:05.

smooth indeed. Looking forward to that final, it is looking great.

:08:06.:08:14.

Some of the pressure is off. The 100 metres bronze was unexpected, Helene

:08:15.:08:16.

Thompson choosing not to run and suddenly Dafne Schippers is one of

:08:17.:08:21.

the favourites for the gold medal and looking so good. It has not been

:08:22.:08:28.

in great season for her, compared to two years ago but suddenly she looks

:08:29.:08:33.

great again. I am very excited about what she can do, she is all control,

:08:34.:08:41.

there. Deajah Stevens was struggling to keep pace but she goes through

:08:42.:08:47.

along with Dafne Schippers. And then Ivet Lalova-Collio. That might be a

:08:48.:08:53.

struggle for the Bulgarian. Only two fastest losers.

:08:54.:09:08.

Short, smiley and short again! The new British record! They have the

:09:09.:09:24.

bronze medal! She has captured her first. I had surgery and then get on

:09:25.:09:31.

with it, I need people to cheer for me! Don't just randomly cheer Dina!

:09:32.:09:46.

By! The British record-holder, fifth in the last World Championships and

:09:47.:09:53.

she is in Heat 3. We should have added on the reigning world

:09:54.:09:57.

champion, Dafne Schippers, she looked so comfortable. Yes, she

:09:58.:10:05.

looked tight in the 100 metres, she did not look comfortable and in the

:10:06.:10:09.

preliminary rounds, she looked robotic but she looked early good

:10:10.:10:15.

here, we are starting to see some of what we could see when she won the

:10:16.:10:23.

World Championships, running that incredible time, the third fastest

:10:24.:10:27.

of all time in history so we do know what your potential is that she has

:10:28.:10:32.

come under a lot of pressure but the likes of Elaine Thomson but with

:10:33.:10:39.

both of those out, she is more comfortable, really comfortable

:10:40.:10:43.

around the bend, powerful athlete but with good speed. And here,

:10:44.:10:50.

controlling this race from start to finish, already at 60 metres, able

:10:51.:10:55.

to shut at down. That'll be great in terms of the final and coming into

:10:56.:11:02.

that final with energy to spare. At 60 metres, shouting that down.

:11:03.:11:10.

Watching her throughout the season, she looked really heavy, some

:11:11.:11:14.

improvements in the Diamond League but the way she was moving, she was

:11:15.:11:21.

not the crisp Dafne Schippers we are expecting. She has been doing

:11:22.:11:25.

things, she changed her weights programme, she continued that longer

:11:26.:11:30.

into the season so that rhythm and lighter feeling has been missing

:11:31.:11:35.

until this stadium at the Diamond League, she ran in the 100 metres

:11:36.:11:39.

and that is the first time I thought she was looking good and now she is

:11:40.:11:48.

looking great! Shaunae Miller-Uibo is back on the track after pulling

:11:49.:11:53.

up last night and we were guessing all kinds of things, muscle cramp?

:11:54.:11:59.

Hamstring? Did she stubbed her to? And she was in fourth place. And she

:12:00.:12:07.

is fine again? That is a word I got, she suffered cramp in that race,

:12:08.:12:12.

that is what we thought caused her foot to head the track, and she

:12:13.:12:18.

tripped and lost momentum, I am sure she is disappointed but she is ready

:12:19.:12:22.

to run, she ran a personal best in the 200 metres this year and in Lane

:12:23.:12:29.

7, that is great for her, there will be no ill effects left over from

:12:30.:12:35.

yesterday, she should get through this easily. And Bianca Williams

:12:36.:12:39.

from Great Britain. That is a big ask for her? Yes, at best, that is

:12:40.:12:46.

the Commonwealth Games. She would have had a chance, she is in Lane 3,

:12:47.:12:54.

and from the first semifinal... The time for third, the first two go

:12:55.:13:01.

through and if you came third in this in 22.8, you never know. But

:13:02.:13:08.

Bianca Williams is going to have to go some because a bunch of women

:13:09.:13:15.

will be attempting the same thing. Including Edidiong Ofonime Odiong.

:13:16.:13:18.

And a second chance for Shaunae Miller-Uibo after getting things

:13:19.:13:21.

horribly wrong in the 100 metres and falling apart over the last 20

:13:22.:13:35.

metres. Not as much as Rio. Simone Facey, the 30-year-old, --

:13:36.:13:39.

32-year-old, she will be in danger, as will Mujinga Kambundji. If she

:13:40.:13:47.

has the American, Kimberlyn Duncan, inside her, you would think she

:13:48.:13:51.

would be the one to go through. Her personal best was a while ago and in

:13:52.:13:57.

competition yesterday she looked better than most. Bianca Williams

:13:58.:14:06.

needs to go here. In the heats she was slower. And Semoy Hackett from

:14:07.:14:12.

Trinidad and Tobago. Very different conditions to last

:14:13.:14:23.

night. It looks beautiful. The London Stadium. The Olympic Park.

:14:24.:14:32.

Fabulous venue. It has been filled to the rafters. For most of the

:14:33.:14:41.

sessions. The men's 200 but is final tonight, and the women in the

:14:42.:14:45.

semifinal, attempting to make the final tomorrow night. Bianca

:14:46.:14:51.

Williams from Great Britain in Lane 3, Shaunae Miller-Uibo, the Olympic

:14:52.:14:56.

400 but is champion, in Lane 7. The top two going through. -- Olympic

:14:57.:15:09.

400 beach is champion. -- metres. Lane 8. Rosangela Santos fell out of

:15:10.:15:17.

the blocks. She knows what is coming to her. She had a sensational 100

:15:18.:15:24.

metres, really exploded but she just fell out of the blocks, that is

:15:25.:15:29.

nerves more than anything else, all of the action happening inside her,

:15:30.:15:33.

she will be thinking, will they be kind? No!

:15:34.:15:40.

That's positive thinking, if she's standing there wondering if there

:15:41.:15:48.

are going to be kind. As you said, Colin, just nerves, falling forward

:15:49.:15:53.

there. She's wandered off, she's not even waiting for the red card. This

:15:54.:16:01.

is Alexis Copello of Azerbaijan now. Used to be for Cuba. Just shy of 17

:16:02.:16:09.

metres there. In joint fourth place with 17.60. That won't trouble the

:16:10.:16:20.

medallists in the fourth round. So, Miller-Uibo is in lane seven. Only

:16:21.:16:27.

one athlete outside her. Odiong. Former Nigerian, now running for

:16:28.:16:33.

Bahrain. Kambundji, very good 200-metre runner. Being going well

:16:34.:16:39.

over the hundred as well. Bianca Williams is going to have to chase

:16:40.:16:43.

Duncan and Kambundji, hope she can get involved.

:16:44.:16:56.

Safely away this time. Miller-Uibo, and never the sharpest out of the

:16:57.:17:06.

blocks. Kambundji going well, Williams is in sixth place. Look at

:17:07.:17:10.

Kambundji. Nowell Miller-Uibo will surely get going. Could be quick.

:17:11.:17:19.

Duncan. Duncan and Miller-Uibo, between them. Facey getting third.

:17:20.:17:27.

Made it look comfortable in the end. Different to what we saw from Dafne

:17:28.:17:30.

Schippers. She's ever going to get out of the blocks that quickly.

:17:31.:17:35.

Those long legs of hers seemed to take a while to get going, cruising

:17:36.:17:38.

the bend and then she releases into the home straight. Bianca Williams,

:17:39.:17:45.

well, expectations were that high. Duncan coming through nicely --

:17:46.:17:50.

expectations weren't that high. Here is the winner. Congratulations. Just

:17:51.:17:56.

doing your laces. What is it like to get back out on the track, after

:17:57.:18:01.

what happened last night, get it out of your head? It feels good to be

:18:02.:18:06.

back on the track, I just want to watch it away and focus on the 200.

:18:07.:18:12.

-- wash it away. What happened to you, clearly not an injury? It's

:18:13.:18:21.

kind of weird, I had the race under control. I looked up at the screen

:18:22.:18:29.

and I misplaced my foot and I ended up losing balance. It happens, it's

:18:30.:18:35.

a part of sport. Hopefully everything will fall into place. And

:18:36.:18:38.

then you come out tonight and you perform like that, obviously a great

:18:39.:18:42.

contender for this, which is some consolation? Definitely, we've been

:18:43.:18:47.

training for this for so long. I put in a lot of hard work. I'm focusing

:18:48.:18:54.

on the 200. A tremendous way to bounce back. Well done. Thank you. I

:18:55.:19:02.

was watching how she was going to come out of the blocks, whether she

:19:03.:19:07.

was going to drive. She won't be able to do that against Schippers in

:19:08.:19:10.

the final because she knows that Schippers will start faster than

:19:11.:19:13.

that and she will be a higher calibre than these athletes that she

:19:14.:19:18.

is dealing with quite come to be here. Even though Duncan came

:19:19.:19:23.

through and the final stages, Schippers will be out there. She

:19:24.:19:27.

will have to focus and get out of the blocks. So, Miller-Uibo and

:19:28.:19:34.

Duncan and can bogey, getting ahead of Facey by 100th of a second. --

:19:35.:19:38.

Kambundji. The men's triple jump final was

:19:39.:19:48.

billed as a head-to-head between this man, Christian Taylor, but next

:19:49.:19:53.

up on the runway, Will Claye, with a very impressive series. That 17.63,

:19:54.:19:59.

by the way, looks further and he landed further into the pits but he

:20:00.:20:06.

dragged his foot back. So we know that capable of more. Optimistic in

:20:07.:20:12.

the fourth round. Second place at the moment. Fast on the approach,

:20:13.:20:16.

going good through the hop. The step. Another good effort. A scream

:20:17.:20:25.

from Will Claye. I think it's shy of the 17.63 he's done so far. His

:20:26.:20:30.

coach telling him to look at the screen, to see if maybe there is a

:20:31.:20:35.

repeat. Pulling back underneath, slightly bent knees, losing some

:20:36.:20:40.

speed. Letting out a scream of frustration, he knows he can go

:20:41.:20:46.

further. And he has, he jumped 17.91 to take the US title. He's gone over

:20:47.:20:53.

18 metres this year, albeit windy. No improvement for Will Claye, he

:20:54.:20:59.

stays in second place. Right, Christian Taylor, maybe that lull

:21:00.:21:06.

from Will Claye will be the impetus that takes this man further into the

:21:07.:21:15.

lead. Already leading with 17.68. He could take the handbrake off now and

:21:16.:21:23.

let loose. Round four. Massive through the hop and step but he

:21:24.:21:28.

collapsed slightly? I think shortening the running into the

:21:29.:21:31.

board, just tensing up and running into the board. He's in the best

:21:32.:21:37.

place to be. Because of that third round jump he will always go after

:21:38.:21:41.

Claye which means he's going to be able to respond to whatever Claye

:21:42.:21:45.

does. Just robbing a bit with his shoulder into the pit stop Christian

:21:46.:21:52.

Taylor is the defending champion -- his shoulder into the pit. Taylor is

:21:53.:21:57.

in the lead but you feel that there is more to come. The end of the

:21:58.:22:03.

fourth round, no improvement in that round. The 200-metre start line,

:22:04.:22:12.

readying themselves for the last of the semifinals. Just before

:22:13.:22:18.

Asher-Smith, just to confirm what she has to do. The qualifiers,

:22:19.:22:24.

Miller-Uibo and Duncan. Just inside 23 seconds, she could be in the top

:22:25.:22:27.

four but she'll want to be in the top two. Absolutely, there's a good

:22:28.:22:33.

chance that four qualifiers may come from this semifinal. Asher-Smith is

:22:34.:22:43.

good enough to do that. Rose from Brazil, a sub 23 second runner. --

:22:44.:22:58.

Rosa. This may be a danger here to Asher-Smith, Gaither. Looking very

:22:59.:23:07.

good in qualifying. Emanuel, the Canadian champion over the 200 and

:23:08.:23:17.

100. Ta Lou had the 100 metres in her grasp but it was snatched by a

:23:18.:23:25.

-- snatched away by 100th of a second. Very good in qualifying for

:23:26.:23:32.

the 200. Here is Dina Asher-Smith. Fifth in Beijing a couple of years

:23:33.:23:37.

ago. A couple of months ago, no thoughts of a repeat of that, she'd

:23:38.:23:41.

barely started running again after breaking a bone in her foot in

:23:42.:23:45.

February but she is on the way back, getting faster and faster. Matt

:23:46.:23:51.

Frei, from France, still a junior. -- Estelle Raffai. Williams going in

:23:52.:24:09.

lane two. Asher-Smith, in Monaco is a few weeks ago things started to

:24:10.:24:11.

come together and she started running the times. She was the only

:24:12.:24:17.

runner in the 200 metres to set a season's best and qualify, fourth

:24:18.:24:24.

quickest coming into the semifinals. 22.96 and 23 seconds from Kambundji,

:24:25.:24:30.

the two fastest losers at the moment. Asher-Smith is certainly

:24:31.:24:36.

capable of that. She'll be targeting a top two finish.

:24:37.:24:44.

Look out for Ta Lou. Asher-Smith is moving up well outside Ta Lou. Ta

:24:45.:24:56.

Lou responding now and Asher-Smith, they are so parading themselves.

:24:57.:25:01.

Emmanuel has work to do. Dina Asher-Smith and Ta Lou are clear at

:25:02.:25:06.

the moment. Ta Lou takes it, Asher-Smith holding on for second

:25:07.:25:10.

and she goes through. Going through to the final. She couldn't keep pace

:25:11.:25:15.

with Ta Lou but they're in mind where she's been, she's into the

:25:16.:25:20.

World Championship final. The famous Asher-Smith smile is seen again. Ta

:25:21.:25:24.

Lou will have a chance of gold, after she just failed in the 100 and

:25:25.:25:28.

Asher-Smith will be in the final as well. Their winning time in all

:25:29.:25:33.

three heats is exactly the same, the first two work 22.49 -- the first

:25:34.:25:43.

horse times worth -- the first two times were 22.40 nine. The work

:25:44.:25:55.

Asher-Smith has had to do to get to this stage, she put herself in

:25:56.:25:59.

contention early. She thought she was going to tag onto Ta Lou for as

:26:00.:26:04.

long as she can and having that positive mindset has clearly seen

:26:05.:26:09.

her through to the final. Brilliant from this young woman and I'm

:26:10.:26:12.

excited to see what she's going to do when she has had a full winter

:26:13.:26:17.

behind her. Damage to her foot in the indoor season. Thought that her

:26:18.:26:20.

outdoor season was a write-off but here she is, sprinting with some of

:26:21.:26:26.

the fastest women on the planet. Brilliant to see that, really good

:26:27.:26:30.

and exciting. Asher-Smith will have a big smile for a long time, that's

:26:31.:26:35.

for sure. Ta Lou looked good, though, out in front. You look at

:26:36.:26:40.

Schippers and Ta Lou and Miller-Uibo, they will be the

:26:41.:26:42.

favourites for the medals but when you're into the final, anything can

:26:43.:26:49.

happen. She worked hard, put herself in good position round the bend and

:26:50.:26:56.

cruise down the home straight. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

:26:57.:27:02.

Just as we suggested, four will go through from that semifinal because

:27:03.:27:06.

Ta Lou and Asher-Smith qualified automatically. Emmanuel and Gaither

:27:07.:27:16.

also good enough. 2000s of a second. But enough to go through into the

:27:17.:27:20.

final. Asher-Smith will be there in the final tomorrow night. These are

:27:21.:27:27.

the qualifiers for the final. Schippers and Miller-Uibo and Ta Lou

:27:28.:27:32.

will start as the favourites, two Americans as well, but Asher-Smith

:27:33.:27:37.

is into the final. That makes good reading, Tina, seeing you in the

:27:38.:27:43.

final from where you have come from, truly remarkable. I'm so happy.

:27:44.:27:48.

Things I was doing in that race that I wasn't happy with, especially the

:27:49.:27:52.

straight, but I can work on that for tomorrow. I'm so over the moon, I

:27:53.:27:56.

didn't think I would make the final so I'm very happy. Can you put it

:27:57.:28:01.

into context, the position you were in a few months ago. I completely

:28:02.:28:09.

broke my foot, which wasn't great, I needed surgery to put two screws in

:28:10.:28:13.

and spent six weeks not doing anything, not putting any weight on

:28:14.:28:18.

it and gradually increasing weight. For six months I was pretty much out

:28:19.:28:22.

of walking, then I learned how to walk, jog and run underwater, then

:28:23.:28:27.

on the ground, then sprint and here I am! It wasn't that bad! I'm

:28:28.:28:33.

joking, I wouldn't recommend it. Now you're in the final, that's an

:28:34.:28:37.

achievement, what would satisfy you in the end? Running a better time

:28:38.:28:44.

than I did here. That's time for me isn't particularly great but in

:28:45.:28:49.

context it's pretty good. I would love to get in the mix a little bit

:28:50.:28:52.

but we'll have to wait and see. The ventilation is. Thank you so much

:28:53.:29:00.

congratulations. We are in the penultimate round of the triple jump

:29:01.:29:06.

and this is the bronze-medallist as we stand, Evora from Portugal.

:29:07.:29:14.

17.19. That might be better. Now come -- no, it is a foul. At that

:29:15.:29:18.

time of the competition when you are pushing a bit harder. I think so,

:29:19.:29:22.

you want to establish yourself in the middle positions. Claye just

:29:23.:29:26.

stalking back and forth, trying to get his head together, get his

:29:27.:29:31.

motivation together. You get the feeling that he knows he has to do

:29:32.:29:34.

something here to put Taylor under pressure. There is Taylor, who

:29:35.:29:41.

completes the fifth round after Will Claye jumps. He has the world record

:29:42.:29:50.

in scrapped on his wristband, 18 metres 13. The world record is 18.29

:29:51.:30:00.

at Gothenberg in the World Championships. Shy of that this

:30:01.:30:04.

evening for the Americans. Taylor is in front. Claye, round five, going

:30:05.:30:06.

in pursuit. That is a very big jump again for

:30:07.:30:20.

Will Claye. Well, it might be just shy... But this tees up the last

:30:21.:30:29.

round. Just five centimetres separating both Americans. Watches

:30:30.:30:35.

feet, falling behind, his feet reaching out. And 20cm to spare on

:30:36.:30:43.

the board. While big could that have been? Just dropping in. You can add

:30:44.:30:52.

20cm to this. Look at that, that would have taken the lead. That has

:30:53.:31:00.

to give him confidence. Christian Taylor will know exactly what is

:31:01.:31:05.

going on, for me, he is trying to force it. He just has to trust it.

:31:06.:31:18.

Round five. To extend the lead. He does not. Surprised? The double arm

:31:19.:31:27.

shift, just preparing for the board and he decelerated. Let us have a

:31:28.:31:34.

look, thumbs-up. Still in the lead, five centimetres, two inches between

:31:35.:31:40.

him and keeping his gold-medal. He goes up a little bit and lands

:31:41.:31:44.

heavy. That is what does it in the final phase. Just not quite timing

:31:45.:31:51.

it as well as we know he can. He did burst through with massive 18.22 in

:31:52.:32:00.

Beijing, he can turn it on by the flick of a switch. It is not over

:32:01.:32:10.

yet. 17.68, with just one jump remaining. Fascinating triple jump

:32:11.:32:17.

but as they go into the last round, I think Jonathan Edwards can rest

:32:18.:32:22.

easy they are not threatening 18 metres, let alone his world record.

:32:23.:32:30.

That 200 metres, but run by Dina Asher-Smith was very impressive but

:32:31.:32:38.

as you can see, we are one! This is thrilling! The action packed stadium

:32:39.:32:45.

and the action on the track. The 400 and is hurdles, the final. And there

:32:46.:32:51.

are three runners clearly with the quickest times, are they the three?

:32:52.:33:00.

I really think so, Zuzana Hejnova is running as great but not as good as

:33:01.:33:07.

she has been in the past, Dalilah Muhammad, Olympic champion, running

:33:08.:33:13.

consistently, she had a couple of issues with the hurdles earlier in

:33:14.:33:18.

the season at the Diamond League but other than that, she has been

:33:19.:33:23.

running fantastic. And do not count on it Kori Carter. Really fast this

:33:24.:33:30.

year. Anything can happen when you have a personal best of 52.96. It

:33:31.:33:38.

will be tough for Eilidh Doyle. That is a tough place but she did well to

:33:39.:33:45.

get here. She knows what she's up against, she is aware of the

:33:46.:33:50.

competition, it has to be about her technique and form and getting that

:33:51.:33:55.

stride pattern perfect. If she wants to leave the track feeling like she

:33:56.:34:00.

has given her absolute best. She has been a great captain and ambassador

:34:01.:34:04.

for the sport and we are all rooting for her. She has plenty of

:34:05.:34:09.

experience, championship experience, she knows how to do this. Olympic

:34:10.:34:17.

finalist last year, bronze in the Olympic Games, part of the Relay,

:34:18.:34:24.

the 4x400 metres, she always pulls out her very best. That is why she

:34:25.:34:30.

was chosen as the team captain. And very popular in the squad. She has

:34:31.:34:38.

been brilliant from what I have heard, her positivity, experience

:34:39.:34:42.

and honesty, it is not easy to raise your game in these kinds of

:34:43.:34:47.

situation but if anybody can do it, she can and she knows it is all

:34:48.:34:51.

about technique. Any potential interloper? Clement, he thought he

:34:52.:35:02.

would take three gold medals back-to-back. I can see a situation

:35:03.:35:09.

with Kori Carter going off heart. Or she goes hard and they start to

:35:10.:35:18.

pressure and try to catch her. And they make mistakes and take

:35:19.:35:24.

themselves out of the race. She is somebody we have to look far. They

:35:25.:35:29.

will all have their eyes on her. Kori Carter could be one of them. We

:35:30.:35:35.

can go to the commentary team for this one, Colin Jackson and Andrew

:35:36.:35:42.

Cotter. And that is Kori Carter. We have highlighted the three potential

:35:43.:35:49.

medallists with Kori Carter, Dalilah Muhammad and Zuzana Hejnova. Eilidh

:35:50.:35:56.

Doyle on the inside. Three Americans, women's high jump going

:35:57.:36:01.

as well. And the Canadian, Sage Watson. But look out at Lane 4 and

:36:02.:36:10.

Lane 6. Zuzana Hejnova going for the hat-trick of world titles. Eilidh

:36:11.:36:16.

Doyle really delivers to their potential and ability and she comes

:36:17.:36:19.

into major championships ranked eighth or ninth in the world and she

:36:20.:36:25.

gets to the finals so that is a very big achievement in itself. Three

:36:26.:36:30.

World Championship finals. And the Olympic final. And she always gets

:36:31.:36:37.

the very most out of her ability and she does not mind the inside lane,

:36:38.:36:41.

we have had a couple of good runs from her, this year. She starts in

:36:42.:36:50.

Lane 2. On the outside, it is the first of the three Americans. It

:36:51.:36:55.

used to be the case that Kori Carter band quickly in the United States

:36:56.:36:59.

but not overseas but she did win in Monaco. Sage Watson, the 23-year-old

:37:00.:37:06.

Canadian, at the University of Arizona. Ristananna Tracey, she was

:37:07.:37:18.

fifth in the Olympic final in Rio. And she carries the hopes of

:37:19.:37:23.

Jamaica. This is the defending champion, going for three world

:37:24.:37:30.

titles in a row. Zuzana Hejnova said this is the first time in five years

:37:31.:37:35.

she is without pain. And she has her old coach. Cernjul, going for

:37:36.:37:43.

Switzerland, bronze at the European Championships in Amsterdam last

:37:44.:37:47.

year. The favourite, the Olympic champion... Dalilah Muhammad winning

:37:48.:37:55.

the US title with the quickest time in this event in six years, women's

:37:56.:37:59.

high jump was part of that very quick final as well. Bronze at the

:38:00.:38:07.

World Championships in Beijing a couple of years ago but most of the

:38:08.:38:14.

noise will be reserved for the captain of the Great British and

:38:15.:38:21.

Northern Ireland team. Her third successive World Championship final.

:38:22.:38:25.

Can she found something from the inside? Women's high jump outside

:38:26.:38:35.

then Beitia, Lea Sprunger, Zuzana Hejnova from the Czech Republic

:38:36.:38:39.

going for her third title. Ristananna Tracey, Watson and Kori

:38:40.:38:50.

Carter on the outside. The final of the women's 400m hurdles. And away

:38:51.:39:05.

they go, Cunningham, two lanes outside Beitia, she is flying

:39:06.:39:11.

alongside Cernjul and Beitia LivingWell, Eilidh Doyle has ground

:39:12.:39:15.

to make up but she has to go for strength in the latter stages.

:39:16.:39:22.

Beitia leading, that is a good run from Furlani, the Americans rising

:39:23.:39:28.

almost together. Kori Carter on the outside, Zuzana Hejnova with ground

:39:29.:39:36.

to make up for Beitia. Beitia, her head is shaking, leading into the

:39:37.:39:42.

home straight. Kori Carter is challenging, Zuzana Hejnova is

:39:43.:39:47.

tiring out. Beitia and Kori Carter will take it! And by Anderson's! A

:39:48.:39:56.

champion, from Dalilah Muhammad, then Demireva -- Ristananna Tracey.

:39:57.:40:02.

It is an American but not the American that we thought. And what

:40:03.:40:09.

runs the outside from Furlani, who is the champion. -- what a run from

:40:10.:40:19.

the outside. From Kori Carter. Congratulations, good job. Carter

:40:20.:40:25.

was really focused on the start line, she could barely smile during

:40:26.:40:30.

the introduction, she wanted to come here and do well. Eilidh Doyle.

:40:31.:40:42.

Everybody congratulating each other. The surprise, for me, was Zuzana

:40:43.:40:50.

Hejnova, I thought she was going to come out stronger in the backend of

:40:51.:40:55.

the race but it is going to be deaf -- when somebody is running 83.

:40:56.:41:04.

Ristananna Tracey, personal best, Carter a couple of years ago fell in

:41:05.:41:10.

the semifinals, that is what can happen, she got everything right

:41:11.:41:17.

here. Pretty much even in the race but Carter had more pace towards the

:41:18.:41:27.

end. On the bike straight, Beitia committing herself, she thought

:41:28.:41:30.

Zuzana Hejnova would be the big threat so she stepped on that

:41:31.:41:35.

quickly and this time, Carter, cruising along in her own world and

:41:36.:41:42.

because she is running in her own space, she is keeping very focused

:41:43.:41:46.

and aggressive, she comes onto the home straight and probably feels, I

:41:47.:41:52.

feel very strong, no accidents in my stride pattern, everything is

:41:53.:41:55.

running smoothly and when that happens in a race like this, the

:41:56.:42:03.

result is a world title. If we had offered Zuzana Hejnova that time

:42:04.:42:08.

beforehand she would have taken that and The Times in qualifying were

:42:09.:42:13.

pretty poor but in the final, the Americans stepped up. Eilidh Doyle,

:42:14.:42:18.

to make the final is a great achievement and she smiles. USA,

:42:19.:42:29.

one, two. And that looks likely in the men's triple jump as well. One

:42:30.:42:37.

less this man from Portugal can improve by -- unless this man from

:42:38.:42:41.

Portugal can improve. The last jump in the competition. He lost his

:42:42.:42:55.

balance and went forwards. There we are, the tale of the women's 400m

:42:56.:43:03.

hurdles, personal best for Ristananna Tracey. The Olympic

:43:04.:43:09.

champion settling for silver. That was a great run from Carter. Eilidh

:43:10.:43:17.

Doyle in eighth place. That was the bronze. Just two jumps remaining,

:43:18.:43:25.

possibly the final act of this riveting competition and the

:43:26.:43:29.

situation that Will Claye will have creamed off last night, he will have

:43:30.:43:32.

expected Christian Taylor to be in the lead at this stage and there was

:43:33.:43:38.

that he has to chasten down. Asking for some quiet. That is a surprise.

:43:39.:43:46.

That is the clock, he has to begin his run before that gets to zero. To

:43:47.:43:51.

improve on his silver medals position. He rushes it. He snatched

:43:52.:44:00.

at that and that is a foul. The previous jump, he had 20 centimetres

:44:01.:44:08.

despair. Gold Christian Taylor because Will Claye is shy of that

:44:09.:44:19.

17.68, disappointment in his cab. Christian Taylor, it looks like he

:44:20.:44:24.

was composing himself by the last jump, as so often happens, thinking

:44:25.:44:28.

you have to expect the competitor to go ahead if you and Will Claye has

:44:29.:44:34.

not. So, then... The stage is cleared. Christian Taylor has

:44:35.:44:43.

retained his world title. And he gets a freebie. He can let loose.

:44:44.:44:52.

Not to be tonight but it's a gold medal for Christian Taylor.

:44:53.:44:59.

Brilliant jumping. Maybe not the best we've ever seen from him but it

:45:00.:45:07.

was a good series. Possibly better from Claye but Claye having to

:45:08.:45:12.

settle for silver. There is your champion. Christian Taylor, three

:45:13.:45:22.

times champion of the world. He is undisputed, the best in this current

:45:23.:45:28.

era. But still, Jonathan Edwards' world record eludes him. He needs

:45:29.:45:34.

good conditions for that. Christian Taylor, an American 1-2.

:45:35.:45:42.

STUDIO: World champion for the third time, Christian Taylor, incredible

:45:43.:45:50.

achievement. There is a element of sadness because he wanted to do

:45:51.:45:53.

something special in front of this crowd, he loves competing in London,

:45:54.:45:59.

doesn't he, Denise? I've never seen him so emotional. He puts a lot of

:46:00.:46:04.

pressure on himself. He's a true champion. He focused and driven.

:46:05.:46:10.

That's his coach, they've been through these Olympics, World

:46:11.:46:14.

Championships together. They have set the bar very high. But it's

:46:15.:46:19.

great, another World Championship title, he's fantastic. What do you

:46:20.:46:24.

think about his approach to the world record? Typically what

:46:25.:46:31.

happens, as we've seen, when an athlete has the potential and they

:46:32.:46:35.

know it and it's being talked about, they will shy away from it but he

:46:36.:46:40.

unashamedly puts it out there that he once make it, he talks about it

:46:41.:46:47.

openly. I think it's true, so much pressure on himself. When Jonathan

:46:48.:46:51.

said the world record he didn't know it was going to happen. These guys

:46:52.:46:56.

are out for the 200-metre men's final. Let's get the crowd reaction

:46:57.:47:01.

to Mitchell-Blake. Young will be out in a moment, I'm

:47:02.:47:15.

sure they'll give him a good reaction, he has been the people's

:47:16.:47:20.

favourite. He has. That world record last year in the 400 metres was

:47:21.:47:25.

fantastic. You look at what he has done to follow it up, under ten

:47:26.:47:30.

seconds 100 metres, under 20 seconds 200 metres, Weld best in the 300

:47:31.:47:36.

metres. He's got an amazing talent. People like to see that. CHEERING

:47:37.:47:48.

Wow! Almost as loud, if not louder for Makwala. Surely a great

:47:49.:47:54.

reception for the 400-metre champion. This crowd are so

:47:55.:48:00.

knowledgeable. So supportive, they are so loyal, coming out in all

:48:01.:48:06.

weather but they also know athletics. They know athletics and

:48:07.:48:10.

appreciate it and that has been the case since before even I was

:48:11.:48:15.

running. And athletes understand and appreciate that, which is why they

:48:16.:48:18.

liked running here in London because the crowd is so knowledgeable. So

:48:19.:48:25.

many age group track coaches and club coaches, PE teachers who love

:48:26.:48:30.

athletics and they come out and support it. And athletes feel that

:48:31.:48:37.

and they know it. This crowd also have followed the stories of these

:48:38.:48:43.

athletes this week, and really understand who has been through

:48:44.:48:48.

challenges and what is going on with the sport right now and they are

:48:49.:48:54.

showing that. And with that man, Isaac Makwala, his road to the final

:48:55.:48:58.

was a bit different. On Monday night when the rest of the guys were out

:48:59.:49:02.

in the 200-metre heats, he was said to be too six to compete, after some

:49:03.:49:08.

twists and turns, the IAAF allowed him to do some time trials which he

:49:09.:49:14.

came through in flying colours and then he lined up in a semifinal, and

:49:15.:49:19.

he looked fantastic, quite frankly. We have to remember where his

:49:20.:49:26.

strengths are, he is first and foremost a 400-metre hurdles and

:49:27.:49:28.

they are used to doing these back-to-back races. They do it in

:49:29.:49:32.

training. He has high speed endurance. The has fantastic speed

:49:33.:49:40.

and he will put van Niekerk under huge pressure. I think he is feeling

:49:41.:49:47.

it, I really do. Van Niekerk, I agree, I think he is feeling the

:49:48.:49:52.

fatigue. Van Niekerk is going to put pressure on him. The problem for van

:49:53.:49:57.

Niekerk is that Makwala is going to be out in front of him on the

:49:58.:50:01.

outside lane and that he's going to be blazing around the turn. What do

:50:02.:50:06.

you do about that as a 400-metre hurdles becomes down to the 200

:50:07.:50:11.

metres and can't match the speed? How patient do you be to hope that

:50:12.:50:14.

your speed endurance is going to come through? He will realise that

:50:15.:50:21.

he has speed endurance but this died does too because he's a 400 metres

:50:22.:50:24.

specialist as well and that's problem for van Niekerk.

:50:25.:50:29.

Mitchell-Blake, growing up in Ilford, moving to Jamaica when he

:50:30.:50:35.

was in his teens and they called him richest there, that was his

:50:36.:50:41.

nickname. He went to in America which is why we haven't seen as much

:50:42.:50:45.

of him in recent years but he has great talent, Steve Cram and this is

:50:46.:50:50.

a great experience, a chance to get in the blanket finish and then, who

:50:51.:50:54.

knows what? The line-up for the 200-metre final.

:50:55.:51:07.

From the outside. Webb of the United States. The American champion, he is

:51:08.:51:19.

there to be chased. The brilliant challenge from Japan, Sani Brown, 18

:51:20.:51:27.

years of age, in lane eight. Hasn't been mentioned by most but a lot of

:51:28.:51:30.

people think that this man is the one to beat. Richards, Trinidad and

:51:31.:51:37.

Tobago. 20 years ago when the title was on Mac in 1997 by someone from

:51:38.:51:43.

there. Can he repeat that? -- when the title was won. Setting fire to

:51:44.:51:50.

the rain, which is what he did yesterday, Makwala, in qualifying

:51:51.:51:55.

for this final. Can he win Botswana's first medal as a male?

:51:56.:52:02.

What about Guliyev? Again, not mentioned by many but he won't be

:52:03.:52:07.

far away, he'll be in the mix. From Azerbaijan, running for Turkey.

:52:08.:52:13.

Young, the first time here in the final. Van Niekerk attempting the

:52:14.:52:29.

double. 400 is and 200 metres. Has he got anything left in his legs?

:52:30.:52:33.

You have to go back 30 years for a British medal, John Regis in 1987.

:52:34.:52:49.

If the crowd could help it, then they'd love to see him somehow to

:52:50.:52:55.

get Bass Matt Crossen how to get amongst these 200-metre runners

:52:56.:53:01.

here. Mitchell-Blake is on the outside in lane two. Van Niekerk and

:53:02.:53:09.

Makwala, the two fastest in the world coming into these

:53:10.:53:12.

championships, but Richards and Guliyev have shown what they are

:53:13.:53:15.

capable of. The 200-metre final. Richards gets a good start and so

:53:16.:53:36.

does Makwala. On the outside, being chased by Sani Brown. Mitchell-Blake

:53:37.:53:40.

is trying to chase van Niekerk who is in this as well. Guliyev in the

:53:41.:53:46.

middle. Just leading. Which is coming up. It's going to be very

:53:47.:53:50.

tight on the line. Who's going to get it? It's Guliyev! The man from

:53:51.:53:58.

Azerbaijan, who moved to Turkey, has come through. He was banned from

:53:59.:54:04.

running for three or four years and he couldn't come to the Olympic

:54:05.:54:07.

games in 2012 and couldn't take part in this stadium then, but he's come

:54:08.:54:14.

here in 2017 and has become the world champion, Turkey's first ever

:54:15.:54:17.

gold medal of the World Championships. All around him, the

:54:18.:54:25.

names were there, van Niekerk, Makwala, Webb, they were very close.

:54:26.:54:30.

Richards was trying to charge in as well but it was Guliyev who came

:54:31.:54:36.

through the middle and won it. He was always a danger. Van Niekerk and

:54:37.:54:46.

Richards. Van Niekerk has been given the nod by 1000th of a second. We've

:54:47.:54:52.

had some shocks at these championships, I'm not saying it was

:54:53.:54:55.

a shock because van Niekerk was tired. He is delighted with silver.

:54:56.:55:00.

Well done to him and also young Richards as well. Mitchell-Blake was

:55:01.:55:04.

fourth in the end, running really well in lane two. Coming off the

:55:05.:55:10.

bend, you don't often see races where five, six, seven men had the

:55:11.:55:15.

chance of winning. I've got a big smile on my face because it was such

:55:16.:55:19.

an exciting race. You couldn't have called who was going to come down

:55:20.:55:22.

the home straight and take the title. I think Guliyev knew that he

:55:23.:55:27.

had the capability, she has been strong through these championships,

:55:28.:55:31.

through the qualifying rounds, he's powered his way through -- he has

:55:32.:55:38.

been strong. Taking the title, through a classy field, these are

:55:39.:55:41.

the top 200-metre runners in the world at the moment. At this stage

:55:42.:55:45.

you couldn't call who was going to come off the bend better or

:55:46.:55:54.

stronger. Makwala, van Niekerk, Guliyev. This is where Richards

:55:55.:55:59.

makes a charge. You could feel that everybody tightens up and he's going

:56:00.:56:07.

to dash for the line. Mitchell-Blake coming in. This was a really good

:56:08.:56:11.

quality 200 metres. We like seeing this. Makwala dropped off. The top

:56:12.:56:17.

three did something special. All of them trying to keep their form, not

:56:18.:56:22.

asking for more, they're just trying to maintain what they've generated

:56:23.:56:28.

already. Makwala, he's off the pace now. Richards. What was the

:56:29.:56:36.

difference between van Niekerk and Richards? One 1000th between silver

:56:37.:56:49.

and bronze, fantastic. Well, he is wearing the Azerbaijan flag, not the

:56:50.:56:54.

Turkish flag. He moved to Turkey because of their better system. He

:56:55.:56:59.

had a big argument with his own federation because they sat down

:57:00.:57:02.

with him and said no, we'll help you and they made him offers to stay but

:57:03.:57:06.

he decided to go to Turkey. So it's a goal model for Turkey. Look how

:57:07.:57:11.

close Mitchell-Blake was in lane two. Charging and charging. Webb

:57:12.:57:17.

falling away at the end. Three of them almost in a line, it was so

:57:18.:57:22.

close and Mitchell-Blake, another fourth place for Great Britain.

:57:23.:57:31.

Michael, you were watching? I am, Steve, watching Mitchell-Blake here,

:57:32.:57:37.

struggling around the corner but when he gets off the bend he's got

:57:38.:57:43.

some good speed endurance, trying to chase these guys down and he's able

:57:44.:57:46.

to do that because a lot of people on the far side started faltering,

:57:47.:57:51.

Makwala being one of them. Young faltered, just not enough left for

:57:52.:57:59.

Mitchell-Blake. You can see the difference, van Niekerk, he has nice

:58:00.:58:04.

technique, not a lot of rotation of his torso. In contrast,

:58:05.:58:08.

Mitchell-Blake on the right-hand side, rotation in his torso, trying

:58:09.:58:14.

to get there. Fourth is a good performance for him, he's had a long

:58:15.:58:18.

season this year in the US, preparing him for these sorts of

:58:19.:58:24.

championships. Guliyev has been consistent throughout these

:58:25.:58:28.

championships. We thought that Richards, another young talent, from

:58:29.:58:35.

federal and Tobago, coming here, these guys have been running

:58:36.:58:38.

personal bests to get to the final and they have run out of energy --

:58:39.:58:43.

from Trinidad and Tobago. And what Makwala did with those two races

:58:44.:58:49.

yesterday. Van Niekerk getting in there for the second place, Silver

:58:50.:58:53.

Medal. Kudos to Guliyev, great performance from him.

:58:54.:59:05.

A much improved Richards from Trinidad and Tobago. Mitchell-Blake,

:59:06.:59:13.

superb run from him in fourth, very close again, yet another fourth

:59:14.:59:17.

place for Great Britain but he can be pleased with his performance.

:59:18.:59:23.

STUDIO: Thank you, Steve. Yet another nation on top of the podium

:59:24.:59:33.

because Turkey get their first goal. Guliyev has looked dangerous through

:59:34.:59:37.

these championships -- getting their first gold medal. Not a real

:59:38.:59:41.

surprise. No, it was always going to be tight and I thought that Guliyev

:59:42.:59:46.

and Richards looked the best through the rounds, they've been the most

:59:47.:59:50.

consistent and they ended up finishing first and second. Thank

:59:51.:59:55.

you, Michael. We're going to lead BBC One now. We have the news coming

:59:56.:00:00.

up. We're going to continue with reaction to the race on

:00:01.:00:06.

It's been a knockout day in the Premier League.

:00:07.:00:07.

..this season, the whole game in full

:00:08.:00:10.

It's been a knockout day in the Premier League.
