Day 1, Part 4

:00:13. > :00:20.have a look at how the decathlon is the decathlon is not going well

:00:20. > :00:28.because Hardy, the defending world champion, failed. He only cleared

:00:28. > :00:33.1.92, but Nixon here, 20 years old... That is 2: 14. Massive points

:00:33. > :00:43.for the young American. So an understated start to his decathlon

:00:43. > :00:44.

:00:44. > :00:50.campaign here. Nixon, 10.8 four on the 100. Pretty solid performances

:00:50. > :00:57.and now he has produced something special. Big points for Nixon. He is

:00:57. > :01:03.only 20 years old. That was the best jump that we saw in the decathlon

:01:03. > :01:09.high jump competition. All change at the top of the table. Nixon came

:01:09. > :01:19.here as the second string and that was because Hardy got a while, entry

:01:19. > :01:29.-- a wild card entry. And the German trader is now in second place but

:01:29. > :01:34.some way behind the young American place. Krisztian Pars almost had the

:01:34. > :01:37.perfect season last year. He won the European Championships and the

:01:37. > :01:43.Olympic final. He is trying to qualify for the World Championship

:01:44. > :01:49.final here and then go for gold tomorrow. That could be the longest

:01:49. > :01:53.we have seen throwing so far. The Hun Carey and have done well in

:01:53. > :02:03.hammer throw ring in recent years. It is probably their strongest

:02:03. > :02:04.

:02:04. > :02:14.event. But only Lukas Melich of the Czech Republic has qualified

:02:14. > :02:16.

:02:16. > :02:26.automatically so far. Krisztian Pars 379.06. He is through to the final.

:02:26. > :02:32.

:02:32. > :02:39.McColgan's mother. Eilish is relaxed about the race. She has had a tough

:02:39. > :02:48.line to even stand on the start line. Post race she's cheering! She

:02:48. > :02:53.did it! I knew she could! Gutsy, gutsy girl! Be proud mother. It is

:02:53. > :02:57.lovely to see. Can you imagine if you have worked with somebody it can

:02:57. > :03:01.be held. She has seen it right the way through and she is a proud

:03:01. > :03:07.mother. Are great Britain performance director, Neil Blackett,

:03:07. > :03:11.reckons the squad of athletes might just be as strong and well prepared

:03:11. > :03:20.as the athletes were in London last year. He has beans begin to Phil

:03:20. > :03:25.Jones. There is that great mixture of experience and youth. Yes, that

:03:25. > :03:30.is good. It is a great mixture of experience and youth. It is great to

:03:30. > :03:36.see that kind of mix. It is great to see people like Christine kind of

:03:36. > :03:40.embracing being become in and supporting in a really kind of

:03:40. > :03:44.comforting and directive way with the younger kids. It is good to see

:03:44. > :03:49.their excitement. It is good to see them interacting and gelling with

:03:49. > :03:56.each other. It feels like a nice blend. Last year there was so much

:03:56. > :04:00.intense pressure just to make the team in the London 2012 team. This

:04:00. > :04:06.year there is that ramping down a little bit, in pressure terms. Do

:04:06. > :04:11.you get a sense of that? I think that is there. We have going to call

:04:11. > :04:16.it a transition year or a post-Olympic year. The targets feel

:04:16. > :04:25.a little bit different. National lottery, in terms of funding the

:04:25. > :04:34.program... Be long-term target is Rio 2016. And also a target of 6-8

:04:34. > :04:38.medals for these athletes. How do you view that? We will never get

:04:38. > :04:44.away from the performances being the measure of what we are doing. It is

:04:44. > :04:48.one of the criteria that everyone uses relative to doing well. We are

:04:48. > :04:58.looking at the attitudes of the athletes, the support staff, the

:04:58. > :05:01.coaches. We have made a decision not to set a specific target.

:05:01. > :05:04.fundamental end is everyone is looking to improve their game and

:05:04. > :05:12.performance, to do as well as they can but everyone will always be

:05:12. > :05:16.measured on the number of gold medals and comparison with the past.

:05:16. > :05:24.How important is it for athletics to have the post-Olympic success

:05:24. > :05:29.maintained? In terms of the Super Saturday it is a tragedy that

:05:29. > :05:34.Jessica is not going to be there but I know it was essential not to take

:05:34. > :05:42.that unnecessary risk. Greg, we are optimistic and open-minded. The fact

:05:42. > :05:46.that money is performing as he is -- Mo Farah is performing as he is

:05:46. > :05:49.shows as he can be even better. All things going well, there is a

:05:49. > :05:55.reasonable number of potential medals that that will keep this kind

:05:55. > :06:01.of where we should be in this transitional year.

:06:01. > :06:09.So not committing to specific numbers, although UK Sport have said

:06:09. > :06:14.6-8. Is that realistic? Wherewith they come from? We can be happy with

:06:14. > :06:19.five. Eight is probably stretching it but you think of the likes of

:06:19. > :06:29.Perri Shakes-Drayton, Christine, the women's four x four, Mo Farah, maybe

:06:29. > :06:29.

:06:29. > :06:33.two for him. Shara Proctor, and outside in the women's long jump...

:06:33. > :06:38.A bit light on the ground but it is a transitional year and what you

:06:38. > :06:46.want from 18 coming to Moscow is building for the future. He is right

:06:46. > :06:52.to say that. -- the team coming to Moscow. You have come out of juniors

:06:52. > :06:54.and the under 23 is and this can be very shocking for you. It can be

:06:54. > :07:02.different with the senior athletes and you have to get used to that

:07:02. > :07:05.different climate. So you need time to grow in it and if you are just on

:07:05. > :07:15.the fringes and able to perform under the circumstances, it goes

:07:15. > :07:19.well for you in the future. There is always a surprise, I know it won't

:07:19. > :07:25.be a surprise if you tell us! But where would that come from, do you

:07:25. > :07:29.think? I was looking at some of the predictions and in the women's four

:07:29. > :07:34.x four, a really strong chance for not just getting a medal, they may

:07:34. > :07:40.be able to win it. The predictions are not even in, they go in US,

:07:40. > :07:46.Jamaica, Russia. I am thinking... I think Team GB will put on a good

:07:46. > :07:50.performance. One of them is about to go in the heats, not in the first

:07:50. > :07:56.heat but very strong line-up for the heats now in the 400m. Let us join

:07:56. > :08:05.Steve Cram and Andrew Cotter. COMMENTATOR: The first round coming

:08:05. > :08:15.up shortly. Tidying up the qualified with a personal best. You

:08:15. > :08:19.

:08:19. > :08:26.can see the qualifiers, Lydia going through. And that's is a list of

:08:26. > :08:34.times, the other fastest losers were Martine and the sixth placed athlete

:08:34. > :08:43.in the first semifinal. And so the first heat of the women's 400m so

:08:43. > :08:48.Ashley Spencer is twice already collegiate champion and Christine

:08:48. > :08:53.Ohuruogu goes in the next heat and the Russians are hopeful that so

:08:53. > :09:00.steadily increasing crowd expect great things from Antonina

:09:00. > :09:08.Krivoshapka, she goes in lane three. She has a tendency to show her hand

:09:08. > :09:14.early on and that does not lead too much out there early on. But

:09:14. > :09:24.Antonina Krivoshapka does run early early on. There she is. And below 50

:09:24. > :09:25.

:09:25. > :09:35.seconds this season and only six women have done that. But Ashley

:09:35. > :09:36.

:09:36. > :09:42.Spencer and Antonina Krivoshapka the two quality athletes in this. The

:09:42. > :09:52.five heats in total here. And I mention just 20 years old, Ashley

:09:52. > :09:55.

:09:55. > :10:05.Spencer. Twice-daily gypped -- twice the collegiate champion. Kadecia

:10:05. > :10:21.

:10:21. > :10:26.Baird, Agne Serksniene in the be dawdling in her blog but the way

:10:27. > :10:34.she goes and the cheers of the crowd as she hunts down and start the run

:10:34. > :10:39.of the St Vincent & the Grenadines. Also the Green of Nigeria for

:10:39. > :10:46.Omotoso but Krivoshapka will lead coming round. Making her presence

:10:46. > :10:53.felt. This is where Krivoshapka should start to conserve a bit of

:10:53. > :10:56.energy, the first four go through in the heats. Automatically. And Kineke

:10:56. > :11:03.Alexander is trying to work with their bets Krivoshapka clear at the

:11:03. > :11:08.start. These three will go through and Ashley Spencer coming through to

:11:08. > :11:18.take second so it is Krivoshapka who does what it done a little bit,

:11:18. > :11:21.

:11:21. > :11:28.51.28 the time. Didn't she look to agree with you. The first four go

:11:28. > :11:32.through, I know Colin talks about winning it but you keep a bit, you

:11:32. > :11:39.have got your rounds to get through, three rounds and he wants

:11:39. > :11:43.to keep everything you can. -- and you want to keep everything you can.

:11:43. > :11:48.She made the others run hard, that is a good thing, Spencer had to dig

:11:48. > :11:52.deep because Alexander had got a good bend and put herself in the mix

:11:52. > :11:55.and Spencer suddenly woke up and thought she will come third or

:11:55. > :11:59.fourth and she would prefer second but you have to say that

:12:00. > :12:08.Krivoshapka, we talk a lot about Christine, let's not ignore the

:12:08. > :12:13.Russian. And as Christine Ohuruogu knows, a home crowd can do a lot to

:12:13. > :12:22.lift you. Omotoso held on to go through as the fourth of the

:12:22. > :12:27.automatic qualifiers and the rest GABBY LOGAN: In just over an hour or

:12:27. > :12:31.so, Mo Farah will take to the stadium as the final and only race

:12:31. > :12:37.of the ten kilometres. It is straight off and a gold medal is up

:12:37. > :12:45.for grabs. Mo Farah just outside the stadium at the moment, warming up,

:12:45. > :12:51.just standing out there for normal human beings would be warming up in

:12:51. > :12:55.this temperature. It is pretty fierce out there. Just walking

:12:55. > :13:05.around as a normal civilian, it has been difficult. I didn't include you

:13:05. > :13:07.

:13:07. > :13:14.it and that he is looking casual as is Christine. They know what they

:13:14. > :13:20.have to do and it is the first run, let's see how they do.

:13:20. > :13:23.Krivoshapka's technique as a heat run all out and then with about five

:13:23. > :13:27.to go realising she can practically walk to the line, she ran two

:13:27. > :13:37.seconds slower than she run this year. I was watching her 200 metres,

:13:37. > :13:45.Woody Swift -- pretty swift. She has already the lactic acid in her legs

:13:45. > :13:48.and she might as well slowdown. Nothing particularly special, 51.2,

:13:48. > :13:53.I think we will see a lot more in the semifinal because you have to

:13:53. > :13:59.run a far more balanced race. only seven in that heat, not the

:13:59. > :14:07.most difficult to come through. at all but like Colin says, it is

:14:07. > :14:12.important to establish yourself in the 400m, make sure you are in a

:14:12. > :14:19.good position. But it will be interesting to see what tactics

:14:19. > :14:23.Christine adopts. She will do just enough, well balanced race and she

:14:23. > :14:26.certainly has the experience. has been your time and time again,

:14:26. > :14:35.not a positive experience overall in debut, she wants to hark back to

:14:35. > :14:38.better times -- in Korea. She was disappointed because she expects to

:14:38. > :14:42.win on this stage. Let's get back down to Andrew and Steve in the

:14:42. > :14:49.commentary box. COMMENTATOR: There is Christine

:14:49. > :14:53.ready to go and she will be nervous despite all her experience. Thoughts

:14:53. > :14:56.of the press conference yesterday, she had to deal with a few questions

:14:56. > :15:06.which she was not happy with and had every right to be when people asked

:15:06. > :15:07.

:15:07. > :15:16.her about the runner in the 400m hurdles. Hastings will be the main

:15:16. > :15:21.rival here. And Christine is in a good lane in lane six. You can see

:15:21. > :15:31.where you are at round the bend. And see what energy will you want to

:15:31. > :15:31.

:15:31. > :15:40.expend in the home straight. Marie Gayot, Natasha Hastings, Ndzinisa

:15:40. > :15:44.from Swaziland. Taslakian and Joelma Sousa of Brazil. Just to remind you,

:15:44. > :15:49.the first four will go through automatically. Hastings, the

:15:49. > :15:52.American champion this year, no sunnier Richards Ross

:15:52. > :16:02.unfortunately. I saw a message from her saying that she would have an

:16:02. > :16:18.

:16:18. > :16:25.operation on her toe, Sanya Richards stadium here has got so few people

:16:25. > :16:35.in, it is Saturday evening, we have got a big final coming up on the

:16:35. > :16:42.

:16:42. > :16:46.track and Usain Bolt in the 100 metres heats. Well, wherever you are

:16:46. > :16:52.in the world, thankfully the Brits will always find a way to get here.

:16:52. > :16:56.I saw a couple of those gentlemen on the train coming in this morning.

:16:56. > :17:05.am wondering if Vladimir Putin is here himself. He is coming tonight

:17:05. > :17:09.apparently. It needs to be a 30,000 strong entourage to fill up. He does

:17:09. > :17:19.have a big entourage, though! He is not here yet. Just a little delay

:17:19. > :17:30.

:17:30. > :17:35.Diamond league, and you will go to the meeting in London and then go to

:17:35. > :17:38.the big World Championships and then the atmosphere was at the Olympic

:17:38. > :17:45.Stadium and Christine Ohuruogu rose to the occasion once again, 50

:17:45. > :17:50.seconds flat she ran there. Good cheers around the stadium, the Brits

:17:50. > :18:00.are very well represented. You do not look silly at all, that is

:18:00. > :18:10.

:18:10. > :18:19.am not sure it is meant to but they only come in one size. Christine

:18:19. > :18:22.gathering her thoughts. In the last few seconds, always the most nervous

:18:22. > :18:27.for any athlete. It does not matter if you have won the Olympics or got

:18:27. > :18:33.this world title before. Always nervous moments, you want to get it

:18:33. > :18:39.over and done with. The likes of Christine Ohuruogu and Hastings,

:18:39. > :18:40.things can go wrong in heats and don't forget, a false start at the

:18:41. > :18:47.last World Championships for Christine Ohuruogu. Let's have none

:18:47. > :18:53.of that, please. She is not happy, is she? She's having a word with the

:18:53. > :19:03.starter's marksman. He had said something to her, she has got to put

:19:03. > :19:12.

:19:12. > :19:18.lane six, Hastings has started quicker in lane three in all the red

:19:18. > :19:23.of the USA. These two closing down on Christine Ohuruogu, right on the

:19:23. > :19:28.outside, Joelma Sousa going well of Brazil. Pulling away from the rest.

:19:28. > :19:31.To be honest, when Christine Ohuruogu gets through the first 200

:19:31. > :19:35.metres, forcing through that bend she will be able to sense that

:19:35. > :19:40.Hastings is coming alongside her. She will then work out whether she

:19:40. > :19:44.lets the American take this one and that is what she is allowing her to

:19:44. > :19:48.do. Hastings has gone hard rubber band, taken four metres at Christine

:19:48. > :19:55.and asked us to come back as is their won't. Christine Ohuruogu

:19:55. > :20:05.judging this very nicely indeed, doctoral qualification, making 50.2

:20:05. > :20:05.

:20:05. > :20:11.to look incredibly easy. Let's not forget, Christine only runs under 50

:20:11. > :20:16.in the championships as he was not far off it there. That is going to

:20:16. > :20:19.make them quake in their boots a little. It is a thing of beauty to

:20:19. > :20:27.watch if you are a fan of hers, it is always timed to perfection when

:20:27. > :20:35.he thinks she is -- when you think she is sitting back in second. It

:20:35. > :20:41.has been rounded down to 50 point two, it is remarkable -- 50.20.

:20:41. > :20:46.Looking strong but look at her real in the American here. And in the

:20:46. > :20:51.end, it was a victory by a good few metres. You wonder how much she was

:20:51. > :20:55.leaving there, how much she has going into the semifinal, that is a

:20:55. > :21:00.wonderful start from Christine Ohuruogu. I was saying before the

:21:00. > :21:06.race, you could get out solid, run your bend and then you see where you

:21:06. > :21:12.are and look at the length of Christine's stride, that is not an

:21:12. > :21:17.athlete flat out, that is well controlled, yes it is 50.20, that is

:21:17. > :21:20.working whoever you are but that is really comfortable looking for me,

:21:20. > :21:26.if at the most anxious moment was at the start what you have a word with

:21:26. > :21:30.the marksman. A strong 200 metres to the start, Hastings was quick, she

:21:30. > :21:34.has been here before, she knows to keep relaxed, strong enough in the

:21:34. > :21:38.first 200 metres, she is not out of the race, she knows she is in great

:21:38. > :21:45.form so she can run easily through here. At this point, he will be

:21:45. > :21:49.aware that the American is starting to come outside her and she keeps

:21:49. > :21:52.the pressure on and keep the foot down but what she can't do is what

:21:52. > :21:57.Christine always can do is coming to the home straight and know that

:21:57. > :22:04.there is something else that she can dip into and she can wants to win

:22:04. > :22:10.this race -- and she wants to win this race, that is the end of a race

:22:10. > :22:13.where it is really strong. She may have one Olympic and World

:22:13. > :22:21.Championship title but I am not sure she has ever come into a

:22:21. > :22:28.championship looking in better shape. I would agree, and I think

:22:29. > :22:32.she knows that as well. It is her first round... I will not save

:22:32. > :22:40.safely negotiated, I will say very impressively negotiated, by

:22:41. > :22:50.Christine Ohuruogu. 50 point 20. Quickest so far of course. There are

:22:51. > :22:57.

:22:57. > :23:04.more heats to come. Hastings, Gayot wasn't even that. It was the way she

:23:04. > :23:09.ran it. She made it look so easy. was wonderful. She ran a really

:23:09. > :23:15.controlled 400m. It is about pacing, judging your race well from

:23:15. > :23:22.the word go. You tackle all different systems, fuel systems in

:23:22. > :23:26.your body. When you kick off into the first end, you can afford during

:23:26. > :23:30.-- afford to run a little bit aggressively. Once you establish

:23:30. > :23:40.your tempo, you can think about relaxing. At this stage Christine is

:23:40. > :23:46.

:23:46. > :23:53.now, on the crown of the bend, when you think, I can start to open my

:23:53. > :23:57.stride a bit, lift up my knees, but not accelerate. It is about the

:23:57. > :24:01.pacing. Christine extended her stride length in a very relaxed

:24:01. > :24:07.manner and that just eight the track and took her to this wonderful

:24:07. > :24:17.victory. 50.20 is an incredible time. I am looking forward to seeing

:24:17. > :24:23.her in the semifinal and going under 50 seconds. She looked like she

:24:23. > :24:27.could do it. She is almost a round ahead of herself. She is but

:24:27. > :24:31.together with her coach, who has guided her magnificently over the

:24:31. > :24:37.years, they have a great relationship, so she would have had

:24:38. > :24:43.the strategy of how to run this race. She got to 1.50 and she

:24:44. > :24:50.extended her stride. She was cruising. She looked so comfortable.

:24:50. > :24:55.You see her there and look across to Hastings and go, OK, I can get you.

:24:56. > :25:00.It was a great race. Captain Christine safely through to the

:25:00. > :25:06.semifinals. There are a few more heats to go. Andrew and Steve will

:25:06. > :25:16.take heed three. COMMENTATOR: Rates hit three of the

:25:16. > :25:28.

:25:28. > :25:36.women's 400m. -- it is hit three of involvement. Francine McCorory. She,

:25:36. > :25:40.too, has gone below 50 seconds this year. McCorory is one of 22 children

:25:41. > :25:47.and she wants to become an undertaker. I am not sure what to

:25:47. > :25:57.make of that. There is Stephanie McPherson. Almost a second she has

:25:57. > :25:58.

:25:58. > :26:08.taken off her personal best this year. She goes in lane four. Inside

:26:08. > :26:12.

:32:42. > :32:46.watching her, if you can remember the Monaco and Diamond league, she

:32:50. > :32:55.injured, but whatever it was, if it was a precautionary stop, it was a

:32:55. > :32:59.good thing to do, the cos she is here. We will have to wait to see

:32:59. > :33:06.exactly what sort of shape she is in. No clear sign of an injury

:33:06. > :33:16.although she has a little hand around her knee. Pygyda will be

:33:56. > :34:09.

:34:09. > :34:16.threw in a 49.8 . Four. -- a 49.8 will stop Cremer of Germany, we know

:34:16. > :34:23.a fair bit about her. She is in lane seven. We are jumping around the

:34:23. > :34:28.lanes here. I do apologise for that. And Bazzoni of Italy, on the

:34:29. > :34:38.outside, who is the Mediterranean champion this year. So interesting

:34:39. > :34:40.

:34:40. > :34:46.to see how Williams-Mills goes here. And the Russian, Ryzhova, with a

:34:46. > :34:56.sub-50 clocking. On paper they should be the top two.

:34:56. > :35:06.

:35:06. > :35:16.Williams-Mills was slow out of the the moment on the inside lane.

:35:58. > :36:03.Williams-Mills. she looks strong and then Ryzhova, 50.7, not 49.8 but not

:36:03. > :36:09.bad in the first round. As we look at the replay, it is encouraging to

:36:09. > :36:16.hear the stadium come to life. looks more sparsely populated than I

:36:16. > :36:20.think it is but a controlling run from Ryzhova. Novlene Williams-Mills

:36:25. > :36:30.still coming back from that we understand the treatment is ongoing

:36:30. > :36:34.so encouraging just to see her here. I think she either eased up a bit

:36:34. > :36:41.was tied up, probably a combination of both but Ryzhova looking pretty

:36:41. > :36:51.good. The time of 50.69, so Christine Ohuruogu still with the

:36:51. > :36:57.

:36:57. > :36:59.really not about coming in the top four, you can do that easily but you

:36:59. > :37:03.guys are mentioning at the beginning, you want to get a good

:37:03. > :37:10.result because it will be much tougher in the semifinals and the

:37:10. > :37:18.lane draw there will be important. Second place for the Jamaican and

:37:18. > :37:24.Ryzhova winning with 15.69. Christine Ohuruogu still with the

:37:24. > :37:31.fastest qualifying time so far. The teenager from Romania finished very

:37:31. > :37:34.quickly as well. GABBY LOGAN: Was a gutsy woman,

:37:34. > :37:39.Novlene Williams-Mills still to be going on after a double mastectomy

:37:39. > :37:49.and be out here competing. I wonder if athletics is a great source of

:37:49. > :37:49.

:37:49. > :37:54.that because having been to the Olympics and having got that relay

:37:54. > :37:57.bronze of the Jamaican team, to get the diagnosis that you have got

:37:57. > :38:05.breast cancer must be devastating for her so it is wonderful to see

:38:05. > :38:09.her here and what a powerhouse of a woman to ride through that and take

:38:09. > :38:13.some solace from the fact that she still here and able to run. Having

:38:13. > :38:16.the routine of training and all the commitments you have an athlete,

:38:16. > :38:21.perhaps that keeps you on a different track and keeps you focus

:38:21. > :38:26.on something else. Absolutely. Having known people with breast

:38:26. > :38:30.cancer, and you have known as well, it is whether she has had the

:38:30. > :38:34.chemotherapy and how that affects your training regime. For a lot of

:38:34. > :38:39.people, through the ongoing process, it wipes your energy out.

:38:39. > :38:44.Some people are on the floor for several weeks. So it is amazing she

:38:44. > :38:50.is able to come out here and enjoy athletics. And a good run for the

:38:50. > :38:54.locals as well, got the crowd going, I was amazed at the sound the crowd

:38:54. > :38:59.were making, it is deceptive. off my headphones and they really

:38:59. > :39:05.gave a good bit of support, especially at this stage with the

:39:05. > :39:08.last 150 metres, she looked in good control, good comfort but I think

:39:08. > :39:12.she went through the first 200 metres for the early part to quick

:39:12. > :39:16.but you have got quality athletes inside you so she is quite unsure of

:39:16. > :39:22.where she is so she did not want to take the risk of going off too slow

:39:22. > :39:27.and having to work too hard down the home straight. And a reasonable time

:39:27. > :39:32.for heats. You can't argue with the time. With expected the names coming

:39:32. > :39:37.to the fore and one of the big names, the defending champion,

:39:37. > :39:41.Montsho, is going in the final show. It will be interesting to see the

:39:41. > :39:45.condition she is in. I am interested to see what she is like after Monaco

:39:45. > :39:50.because she set the world's fastest time making it the last competition

:39:50. > :39:57.before these major championships. I am wondering if she will go out and

:39:57. > :40:03.looking at Christine 's time. And whether she wants to say she is the

:40:03. > :40:09.leader and this year 's budget has been beaten by Christine. -- and

:40:09. > :40:13.there she is but she has been beaten by Christine. Just how they see each

:40:13. > :40:17.other as the main protagonists. Would you say they are the main

:40:17. > :40:27.protagonists so far? I would say so but this lady can run quick and it

:40:27. > :40:27.

:40:27. > :40:32.is about delivering. Clear favourite going into 2012 but she came fourth

:40:32. > :40:38.in the end. Handing you over to your commentators now.

:40:38. > :40:42.COMMENTATOR: There is Amantle Montsho, final heat of the women's

:40:42. > :40:47.400m featuring the defending champion. The last it was very

:40:47. > :40:50.quick. Three of the four fastest losers came from but heat so they

:40:50. > :41:00.will have to be quick in this heat if they want to come through as the

:41:00. > :41:02.

:41:02. > :41:05.to miss out on a medal but quickest in the championships and beaten by

:41:05. > :41:12.Christine Ohuruogu in Birmingham but generally speaking she has been

:41:12. > :41:17.clearing up in the Diamond League. She wants to get it right on the big

:41:17. > :41:24.occasion. Jennifer Carey also goes for Ireland in this, born and raised

:41:24. > :41:33.in America, but Irish parents, she will need more to come off her

:41:33. > :41:36.personal best to try to challenge here. A quick look at the line-up.

:41:36. > :41:46.The Nigerian going in the second lane used to compete for America.

:41:46. > :42:04.

:42:04. > :42:11.Patricia Hall of Jamaica, third in really having to respond, but a big

:42:11. > :42:14.difference to winning the one of races -- the one off races. To know

:42:14. > :42:19.how to do it at the major championships, conserving energy

:42:20. > :42:27.here and there, doing enough to get through, a good lane draw, thinking

:42:27. > :42:31.about... Not holding something back but the fact it is not a one-off, I

:42:31. > :42:39.was going to say it is a marathon, not a sprint but that is absolutely

:42:39. > :42:49.wrong. So the final heat, the fifth heat in the first round of the

:42:49. > :43:19.

:43:19. > :43:25.women's 400m. Amantle Montsho blocks for a moment there and

:43:25. > :43:30.Jennifer Carey with Herbert and easy style of running that Montsho has

:43:30. > :43:37.come and try to pick up the pace and she has got Patricia Hall, perhaps

:43:37. > :43:41.her nearest challenger, to use as a market in this heat but she does

:43:41. > :43:46.now. Montsho bouncing happily down the back straight. She will come

:43:46. > :43:55.round in the lead, four to go through and Montsho is looking

:43:55. > :44:00.comfortable through the first 300 metres. Regina George of Nigeria on

:44:00. > :44:03.the inside has put up a bit of a spurt. She doesn't necessarily looks

:44:03. > :44:12.comfortable but she will take second. Montsho will take the

:44:12. > :44:17.victory and the time... It is slower but Patricia Hall coming through,

:44:17. > :44:25.but that was a stroll for Montsho, not more than that, she did what she

:44:25. > :44:30.had to do. That was very comfortable. The first 200 metres,

:44:30. > :44:35.she did not extend very much, going through the motions is the best way

:44:35. > :44:40.to describe this. She is in such good shape coming into the

:44:40. > :44:43.championships. In the past, she has done the best running in the Diamond

:44:44. > :44:50.League and not prepared for the champs. She will be hard to beat

:44:50. > :44:56.though. I think Montsho and Ohuruogu are the two to watch. They are the

:44:56. > :45:04.best of the crop and this has showed you why. She just eased it away

:45:04. > :45:10.again, very comfortable, 50.7, easy as you like. Good performance from

:45:10. > :45:13.Regina George. Patricia Hall going through as well. Standout

:45:13. > :45:23.performances from Montsho, not as quick as Christine but incredibly

:45:23. > :45:30.

:45:30. > :45:40.relaxed, very easy. They were the automatic qualification but the

:45:40. > :45:45.

:45:45. > :45:49.Spaniard got it, or Ruby Keister -- Aauri Bokesa. Still the longest

:45:49. > :45:53.throw for the hammer is 79 metres and six centimetres by the Olympic

:45:53. > :46:00.championship holder, Krisztian Pars and this guy finished in second

:46:00. > :46:04.place behind him last year in London, Primoz Kozmus, 33 years old

:46:04. > :46:13.now and that is long. Halfway between the qualifying line

:46:13. > :46:19.and the 80-metre line. That is such a long way, very powerful in the

:46:19. > :46:24.gymnasium, he has got some great videos on YouTube, good technique as

:46:24. > :46:30.well. Just looking at the hammer as it goes around him. Building up to a

:46:30. > :46:37.release speed of around 70 miles an hour so Primoz Kozmus looking for an

:46:37. > :46:42.automatic qualifier which he has got, 78 metres and ten centimetres,

:46:42. > :46:52.the Slovenian is safely through to the next round. This is his stage

:46:52. > :47:01.

:47:01. > :47:11.and his crowd. He looks relaxed, he a glorious, glorious win! He will

:47:11. > :47:15.

:47:16. > :47:20.make it two gold medals for Great GABBY LOGAN: About 30 minutes until

:47:21. > :47:25.Mo Farah will be down on the track because it is just a one off race,

:47:25. > :47:30.no heat or semifinals, told is the aim for Mo Farah and we will talk

:47:30. > :47:35.about that with Paula Radcliffe but we have swapped a Radcliffe for a

:47:35. > :47:39.Jackson. Speaking about Montsho, what is so fascinating about the

:47:39. > :47:42.400m, when somebody is so supreme, how they can look so easy when all

:47:42. > :47:47.around them are looking like they are flailing and putting everything

:47:47. > :47:52.into it and yet she is going past them. It seems to defy the laws of

:47:52. > :47:57.physics, the way she runs with so much ease. That is the training,

:47:57. > :48:01.that is the calibre of this athlete. She is incredible. And the guys in

:48:01. > :48:08.commentary were saying, this is just a demonstration... That was like a

:48:08. > :48:14.jog, she was at that list all the way round. In control -- she was

:48:14. > :48:18.effortless, all the way round. And even stride all the way round so

:48:18. > :48:23.this was heard doing the job. She is here to defend her title and she

:48:23. > :48:27.made it look easy. she will not repeat what happened last year, in

:48:27. > :48:36.other words she will not let a big championship slip out of her grasp,

:48:36. > :48:39.that is the message you get. She has put some fast times down on the

:48:39. > :48:42.Diamond League and you hope that this time round she has learned the

:48:42. > :48:46.mistakes and it was genuinely a mistake, the way she approached the

:48:46. > :48:51.final. I do not think she will do that again this year. we hope she

:48:51. > :48:55.has learned that we would hope that she will be neck and neck until the

:48:55. > :48:58.very end with Christine because it looks like the two strongest

:48:58. > :49:03.contenders, the protagonists if you like. Moving on to further afield

:49:03. > :49:12.and further distances with Paula, she will be discussing Mo Farah, but

:49:12. > :49:22.we have been looking into the specific areas where Mo Farah must

:49:22. > :49:36.

:49:36. > :49:44.settle, conserve energy and make sure that he is ready to cover any

:49:44. > :49:54.moves made. Not only does Mo Farah know he is in the best shape of his

:49:54. > :49:55.

:49:55. > :50:01.life but everybody else is scared of pace over the final lap so far this

:50:01. > :50:04.year. Nobody has shown they can beat him for closing speed so they need

:50:04. > :50:10.to think about doing something before them to run the finish out of

:50:10. > :50:14.him. Does he have a strength? So far this

:50:14. > :50:18.year, he has not been tested in clearance -wise. I am sure he is

:50:18. > :50:24.strong and ready and will be a very tough man to be -- tested

:50:24. > :50:30.endurance-wise. There he is, the man they all want to beat and it begs

:50:30. > :50:34.the question, Paula, and there is always this inference, that they

:50:34. > :50:38.will gang up and find a way to beat him and that way always seems to be

:50:38. > :50:42.that they will have to race quick. If you want to beat Mo, make it as

:50:42. > :50:47.quick as possible which will nullify his kick towards the end. Would

:50:47. > :50:52.there be that kind of plan? Would they get together? They could be

:50:52. > :50:55.that kind of plan. The Kenyans have spoken earlier at the training

:50:55. > :51:00.camp, speaking about their intention to run as a team and they thought

:51:00. > :51:04.they could beat Mo if they do that. We must not forget that saying it

:51:04. > :51:10.and doing it is a different thing. You have to go out and commit and

:51:10. > :51:13.sacrifice your race to do it almost and that is a hard race to do. Mo is

:51:13. > :51:17.the only British guy so you would think he is going out alone but he

:51:17. > :51:21.is going out with his team-mates, including Galen Rupp, he is well

:51:21. > :51:25.prepared for this. He knows that he is the man to be shot at but knows

:51:25. > :51:30.he is in the shape of his life. It will not be easy, he will have to

:51:30. > :51:35.keep his eyes and ears open, cover everything, be alert and big on

:51:35. > :51:39.100%. If he is slightly off, that will not do, he has to be right

:51:39. > :51:44.there. He has done lots of work on speed and taken the British record

:51:44. > :51:52.from Steve Cram, we have said it already a few times! The fact he has

:51:52. > :51:57.not run a 10K competitively this year, are you worried about that?

:51:57. > :52:01.People run a fast time, and people think he has just worked on speed. I

:52:01. > :52:04.think Monaco came from strength. He has got the speed and he works on

:52:04. > :52:09.the training, doing sprint drills and things like that with Alberto

:52:09. > :52:14.and Galen Rupp at his endurance is there and it is that, holding it all

:52:14. > :52:18.together that enabled that 3.28 so hopefully he will be fine. If he

:52:18. > :52:23.does come through here in the way he would like the body he has prepared

:52:23. > :52:27.to do, to win two medals. This could put him in completely different

:52:27. > :52:33.stratosphere in terms of global icons of the sport. Absolutely and

:52:33. > :52:37.as a British man, elevating his status even further and you know

:52:37. > :52:42.what? You have to understand with him, it has only been his

:52:42. > :52:46.progression in the last four years where he has got to this real iconic

:52:46. > :52:51.person, maybe even three years. But it gives hope to everyone else that

:52:51. > :52:55.if you work hard enough, do the right things, you can get there.

:52:55. > :53:01.don't underestimate it, one is great, two is massive and so all he

:53:01. > :53:05.is focusing on... One at a time? He never really fully commits until he

:53:05. > :53:11.finds out how he will be running and so he never says he will definitely

:53:11. > :53:15.do two but we expect him to run in the 5K. Guess, but this is the race

:53:15. > :53:22.he has come for. He is already thinking about the next race and if

:53:22. > :53:26.he does that he may well lose it. There he is, he has his shades on,

:53:26. > :53:36.out on the track. A nice breeze blowing through now, not as hot as

:53:36. > :53:46.

:53:46. > :53:52.earlier in the afternoon, conditions the nice breeze down here. Just

:53:53. > :53:59.watching Mo going out there, he has a lot of stuff on his back! It looks

:53:59. > :54:06.a heavy bag! There are plenty of British bands spread all around the

:54:06. > :54:15.stadium. Those two look like they are having a good time. And their

:54:15. > :54:19.hero, I am sure he is one of their heroes, will be out very shortly.

:54:19. > :54:24.They have just been given the chance to go and get their spikes on and

:54:24. > :54:28.these are nervous moments for all of us, I guess, but British fans are

:54:28. > :54:33.very well represented. As many people as we have seen in this

:54:33. > :54:43.stadium this is. It is still not a lot. But there is still an

:54:43. > :54:43.

:54:43. > :54:53.atmosphere. Here is the. Missed. Quite a few more than ran in the

:54:53. > :54:58.

:54:58. > :55:08.Olympic 10,000m final. Ritzenhein is one of Mo Farah's training partners.

:55:08. > :55:23.

:55:23. > :55:30.Levins is also a training partner, not running for Ethiopian. A lot of

:55:30. > :55:35.Americans are really not quite sure whether hailing Rob can produce the

:55:35. > :55:39.sort of performance he did at the Olympics last year. -- whether Galen

:55:39. > :55:49.Rupp can produce the sort of performance he did at the Olympics

:55:49. > :55:53.

:55:53. > :56:03.last year. Mahbood is not starting. And Al Al-Outaibi not starting.

:56:03. > :56:08.

:56:08. > :56:15.Merga is formally the world cross-country champion. So that is

:56:15. > :56:23.the full list. Three or four nonstarters. What a good vantage

:56:24. > :56:28.point. Not even short you need that lens. -- not even sure. We have all

:56:28. > :56:34.been talking about the hammock Mack winning the gold medal and the press

:56:34. > :56:38.conference... And Neil Black, the performance director of British

:56:38. > :56:42.athletics said we have to accept he is the favourite but of course

:56:42. > :56:50.nobody hands out gold medals. He has got to come here and turn all of

:56:50. > :56:53.that early and form into a win. And of course, he was beaten in the

:56:53. > :57:02.World Championships a couple of years ago. He was beaten earlier

:57:02. > :57:08.this year. He is certainly not in principle. He is outstanding. He is

:57:08. > :57:14.better than he has ever been. Faster than he has ever been. Fitter than

:57:14. > :57:20.he has ever been. More determined than he has ever been. When British

:57:20. > :57:27.athletes run these days, the fans do follow them. There are not quite as

:57:27. > :57:31.many as he got when he ran in London last year, all the other week. The

:57:31. > :57:38.athletes are coming out onto the track, getting ready, lining up.

:57:38. > :57:42.They are all anxious to go. They are waiting around. These athletes know

:57:42. > :57:50.each other extremely well. Some of them train together. They often

:57:50. > :58:00.compete together all around the world. The first two from last year

:58:00. > :58:11.

:58:11. > :58:16.'s Olympic Games, Mo Farah and Galen everyone has their eyes on, not just

:58:16. > :58:22.us that the athletes themselves. All he has got to do now is concentrate

:58:22. > :58:29.on his own race. Forget about hanging a medal around his neck. It

:58:29. > :58:39.is 25 laps. It is warm. He is cooling himself down, which is

:58:39. > :58:40.

:58:40. > :58:46.extremely sensible. This should be great. Well, Mo has been training in

:58:46. > :58:53.San Moritz. He made a couple of breaks. He came down to run in

:58:53. > :58:57.Monaco. He made a new British record. He shocked the world with

:58:57. > :59:03.that performance. I think he even surprised himself a little. He went

:59:03. > :59:11.back up to San Moritz, came back down for London. Had a big training

:59:11. > :59:18.week that week. No records in prospect for him. It was a case of

:59:18. > :59:22.7.36 and that was all he needed on the day. I watched him do a warm

:59:22. > :59:29.down session which many would be happy to do as a training session

:59:29. > :59:36.after that. Those races were part of the plan budding towards these

:59:36. > :59:43.championships. This Kenyan team, it is really hard to put your finger on

:59:43. > :59:53.how they are going to be. They have a great personal best but very

:59:53. > :59:55.

:59:55. > :00:00.little Championship experience. Muchiri might be the biggest threat.

:00:00. > :00:05.What about Jeilan? Sorry, I caught you at an inopportune moment there!

:00:05. > :00:11.He is a very popular boy in Moscow. Yes, Jeilan, the defending champion.

:00:11. > :00:21.He shocked Mo when Mo seemed to have got away, seemed to be heading

:00:21. > :00:23.

:00:23. > :00:29.towards his first global gold medal and Jeilan ran him down. Kuma. And

:00:29. > :00:39.the Ethiopians almost had not a trial as such, but Cooper and

:00:39. > :00:49.Deborah Meskill and Marco, they went to Finland -- and Merga, they went

:00:49. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :01:03.to Finland. Mo is trying to feed of the British support here in Moscow.

:01:03. > :01:34.

:01:34. > :01:44.-- off the British support. MIDI in He has managed to translate some of

:01:44. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:55.their early form. I think they are cheering him. And there he is, Imane

:01:55. > :02:02.Merga. He used to be the man to beat. Now the look is a little off

:02:02. > :02:08.the pace. His personal best goes back a little before the other

:02:08. > :02:13.figure. But all the introductions have been made. All of the

:02:13. > :02:23.preparation is behind them. Ahead, 25 laps of the World Championship

:02:23. > :02:33.

:02:33. > :02:39.it was all about the support of the home crowd and the quest for Olympic

:02:39. > :02:46.gold. This is about some unfinished business, payback for a gold medal

:02:46. > :02:55.that slipped away in 2011. An intriguing race. We have already

:02:55. > :02:59.been talking so many times already today about what could and might

:02:59. > :03:05.happen and how did they beat Mo Farah? Now they have to do something

:03:06. > :03:13.about it. They have got to give a really good 10,000m Championship

:03:13. > :03:20.final but we can remember. This is the technique that Mo uses these

:03:21. > :03:25.days. The gun goes, Mo Farah goes to the back of the field, relaxes, gets

:03:25. > :03:31.into the rhythm. The Africans, the canyons in particular, have been

:03:31. > :03:37.using this technique for a long time. We have observed it. The lead

:03:37. > :03:41.at jogging around the first lap, pretty quick. Mo is just letting the

:03:41. > :03:49.nerves settle, just getting into his running, taking his time. He does

:03:49. > :03:52.not have too you at all yet. He is relaxing into the race. He is on top

:03:53. > :03:57.of his nerves. He was desperately unhappy when he lost the World

:03:57. > :04:02.Championships in 2011. Here today he wants to atone for that at this is a

:04:02. > :04:12.raise in itself. There are some very good athletes here and they all know

:04:12. > :04:23.

:04:23. > :04:28.there is one man to beat. And guess of the Diamond League races. It is a

:04:28. > :04:38.very big field so from front to act covers about 25 metres, I would say,

:04:38. > :04:48.

:04:48. > :04:57.or there about. -- from front to the way, that would be a fairly

:04:57. > :05:00.comfortable 27.30. But over the years, we have Zoe in some great

:05:01. > :05:10.10,000m races in championships. -- we have seen. We have talked about

:05:10. > :05:15.the Ethiopians and you remember when Selassie and Bekele rant and they

:05:15. > :05:25.went lap after lap after lap. If they did that, yes, it would put Mo

:05:25. > :05:25.

:05:25. > :05:33.Farah under pressure, but they are not Selassie and -- they are not

:05:33. > :05:39.Gebrselassie and Bekele at their best. But tonight, who knows. Jeilan

:05:39. > :05:47.is the world champion. He is not running as well as he has been. Mo

:05:47. > :05:51.Farah is just beginning of ones and twos at the back. Just making his

:05:51. > :06:01.move. This is the first time in 20 years when two of the greats, Haile

:06:01. > :06:02.

:06:02. > :06:06.Gebrselassie, and acutely, have not contested this 10,000m. -- Bekele.

:06:06. > :06:10.Tonight there are four athletes in the race from Ethiopia, including

:06:10. > :06:15.the champion, but we have one athlete from Great Britain and he is

:06:15. > :06:23.working his way through the field. None of the all-time greats at the

:06:23. > :06:28.moment are in the field but there is Mo Farah. Can he win this 10,000m

:06:28. > :06:33.title to go with his Olympic gold medal for the 10,000m? This will be

:06:33. > :06:41.a competitive race. Mo looks like he is well into his running, relaxed,

:06:41. > :06:47.untouchable. They are linked steadily but not exceptionally fast.

:06:47. > :06:57.We are ready. It is going to be a good race. The canyons are doing a

:06:57. > :07:03.

:07:03. > :07:11.little bit. They are keeping it steady. 4.274 four laps. Look where

:07:11. > :07:14.the Ethiopians are. Galen Rupp moving up in the red. Galen Rupp

:07:14. > :07:20.just wanting to get a little further up the field, he may be feeling that

:07:20. > :07:29.there is a bit of push going on as Tanui of Kenya picks things up a

:07:30. > :07:34.bit. Mo Farah is still content to be three from the back. I was chatting

:07:34. > :07:37.yesterday to Alberto Salazar and I was talking about this team thing

:07:37. > :07:43.that everybody has been talking about and he said there is only one

:07:43. > :07:48.team out there, Mo, Galen Rupp, they are a team, they train together. The

:07:48. > :07:54.Ethiopians don't. Two or three of them don't even like each other, the

:07:54. > :08:00.Kenyans can come together. There is a team out there that they will not

:08:00. > :08:06.be team tactics but there is a team. We are not seeing any real team

:08:06. > :08:11.tactics here. The time for 2,000m, that is pretty easy, that is an

:08:11. > :08:17.average pace which is about 28 minute pace so nothing exceptional

:08:17. > :08:21.here. Mo will not be disappointed with this, the tactics are clearly

:08:21. > :08:26.that they are running steady but not exceptionally quick and as we have

:08:26. > :08:35.seen in the history of this event, we have seen some brutal races, Mo

:08:35. > :08:38.going across for a sponge and Mo is the opportunity to nip across for a

:08:38. > :08:41.sponge to start letting them know he is there. That is one thing he would

:08:42. > :08:46.do. You let them know you are amongst them. Move your way to the

:08:46. > :08:52.front, but necessarily go to the front but the amongst them so they

:08:52. > :09:02.start thinking that he is there. The Eritrea and athlete, Goitom Kifle A,

:09:02. > :09:06.

:09:06. > :09:12.he is following Mo Farah -- every -- every . Mo Farah hits the front, 19

:09:12. > :09:17.laps to go and I will tell you, this is not him making a long run for

:09:17. > :09:21.home, this is Mo saying that he is the Olympic champion, and if you

:09:21. > :09:25.want to go faster than me, you have to go round me and passed me, and

:09:25. > :09:34.that is a clever way of encouraging the pace to move up a little. Really

:09:34. > :09:41.clever. A great move by Mo, grabbing a sponge and working his way round.

:09:41. > :09:45.A bit of a stretch of the legs. Show your face, show the fact you are

:09:45. > :09:48.there, he had no intention, he started to slow it down as soon as

:09:48. > :09:55.he got to the front and then the Ethiopians are thinking they are not

:09:55. > :09:59.having that, Imane Merga and Abera Kuma having a chat and Imane Merga

:09:59. > :10:03.saying that if he wants to start the race, let's started, we have waited

:10:03. > :10:11.a little while and for the first time, we have got a bit of pace on.

:10:11. > :10:14.Imane Merga and Abera Kuma and Tanui working together. They will not

:10:15. > :10:18.stress too much about this because it is not a big push, they will just

:10:18. > :10:27.wait and see if they can keep this pace on and if they do, they will

:10:27. > :10:37.start to work their way back. is a bit serious, a big lap there. I

:10:37. > :10:38.

:10:38. > :10:42.remember watching Imane Merga racing in Addis Ababa, and on a road race

:10:42. > :10:45.and it was staggering how well he ran, that was a few years ago and I

:10:45. > :10:49.have never seen anybody run as quickly by Hill especially with

:10:49. > :10:53.altitude. He has been a bit off since then but he has got good

:10:53. > :10:59.talent, he is a strong man, he likes running hard and working hard and he

:10:59. > :11:02.does very hard and I tell you what, he is a good athlete he has run well

:11:02. > :11:08.already this season, in the world cross-country, he finished second

:11:08. > :11:13.there and he is starting to make this move. I will be interested to

:11:13. > :11:17.see, this looks faster. 17 laps to go in the men's 10,000 metres and

:11:17. > :11:25.the pace is beginning to lift. 64 seconds for the last lap, that is

:11:25. > :11:30.lifting it. It is a bit quicker but still the sort of place that is

:11:30. > :11:35.fairly comfortable and when thing that Alberto said to me, he said

:11:35. > :11:39.what would happen if somebody went off really hard and he said Galen

:11:39. > :11:44.Rupp and Mo will run six or seven seconds behind and work their way

:11:44. > :11:48.back but this isn't really hard, this is a comfortable place, it was

:11:48. > :11:53.really eight case of what if somebody decided to make this a

:11:53. > :11:57.26.50 race right from the beginning and they are so confident this lot,

:11:57. > :12:02.they can run the second half of the race, they will not be too stressed

:12:02. > :12:07.about letting things go a little bit and just hanging off and he said we

:12:07. > :12:10.can work together and these guys will chat with each other, and if

:12:10. > :12:14.they are yet to a point where they need to work to get to that, they

:12:14. > :12:24.can do it but they are stretched out which is good to see, the turn at

:12:24. > :12:26.

:12:26. > :12:32.the front from Kenneth Kiprop Kipkemoi, and then behind them, the

:12:32. > :12:38.leading group. Mo encourage them to go further, he is running with his

:12:38. > :12:41.team-mates, Galen Rupp just ahead of him and the three guys there on

:12:41. > :12:46.screen run together in Oregon on an almost daily basis so they have been

:12:46. > :12:54.in this position several times. If there is a team race, like you said

:12:54. > :13:00.earlier, it is those three, the American -based Briton, Mo Farah,

:13:00. > :13:08.Galen Rupp and their training partner. The double champion, Mo

:13:08. > :13:13.Farah, and I love saying that! Dathan Ritzenhein behind him and the

:13:13. > :13:16.pace continues to be steady. There is no real serious tactics emerging

:13:16. > :13:21.but he would not expect it yet, there are 15 laps to go, the second

:13:21. > :13:24.half of the 10,000 metres especially in warm conditions like this make it

:13:24. > :13:30.a brutal distance race. The one message that went out from the

:13:30. > :13:36.athletes particularly the Ethiopians when they left for the track is run

:13:36. > :13:40.a hard race today, and tyre Mo Farah out for the 5000 metres. There was a

:13:40. > :13:50.school of thought that yes, the Kenyans thought the best chance was

:13:50. > :13:55.

:13:55. > :13:59.in the 5000 metres when you have got the likes of Edwin Soi, and other

:13:59. > :14:05.runners and Koech and if the Kenyans can make it tough in the 10,000, I

:14:05. > :14:12.am not sure they are out to do that but whatever, you carry some of it

:14:12. > :14:17.with you next week, but let's bear in mind, Galen Rupp and Mo Farah

:14:17. > :14:23.doubling up, assuming everything goes OK, none of the big names have

:14:23. > :14:27.doing that so he will take on the best here and then take on the best

:14:27. > :14:33.in the 5000 so maybe people will think that but it is easier said

:14:33. > :14:37.than done. Team managers love the idea that you can say, go on, guys,

:14:37. > :14:41.make it work, but it doesn't work like that it really doesn't win you

:14:41. > :14:46.get in the race. You have to get out there, run how you are feeling and

:14:46. > :14:54.it is easy for somebody to sit in the stands and say, "throw in a 61"

:14:54. > :14:59.but it is not that way that it works. There is safety in numbers

:14:59. > :15:04.and you need to be a brave and ambitious and confident athlete to

:15:04. > :15:08.step outside of that and drift away from the pack but Mo Farah is the

:15:08. > :15:13.only athlete in this field tonight who has got real supreme confidence

:15:13. > :15:17.and you are looking at him relaxing am running steadily, he is in the

:15:18. > :15:22.middle of a purple patch, he is in the best form of his career but

:15:22. > :15:27.tonight, we will fully expect him to win this race but it is unfair to

:15:27. > :15:32.say he will win it without a struggle, it is 10,000 metres, 25

:15:32. > :15:36.laps of the track, you cannot win that without hurting. You cannot win

:15:36. > :15:43.that without exerting some influence on the track at Mo Farah is moving

:15:44. > :15:50.into a nice position here, they are coming up to the halfway point.

:15:50. > :15:54.13.16 and looking about, and then people's plans will emerge. People

:15:54. > :15:58.start to say, get to the halfway point, coaches will say that and

:15:58. > :16:03.then make a move will stop so we will see them move beyond this

:16:04. > :16:08.point, there is Mo, I have honestly never seen him look so relaxed in a

:16:08. > :16:16.big race. To me, this is more relaxed than he was in the Olympic

:16:16. > :16:19.Games and let's face it, we thought he was supreme last year. 13.49 for

:16:19. > :16:27.5000 metres and I would suggest it will get quicker in the second half

:16:27. > :16:33.of this race. That is a job for Mo Farah. 13.49 is not hurting any of

:16:33. > :16:36.the good guys. I think that is about what you would have expected in

:16:37. > :16:43.these sorts of races. The question for me is the second half of the

:16:43. > :16:51.race. Is anyone brave enough from ten or seven or even five laps out

:16:51. > :16:55.to hit it really hard? As long as they are running close to 64, that

:16:55. > :17:02.is not enough, they must really hurt Mo Farah to get a chance and I keep

:17:02. > :17:07.making this point and I don't think anybody well. The man who had kicked

:17:07. > :17:14.him in Daegu two years ago, and he moves out, not the runner he was,

:17:14. > :17:20.but he will be a threat, Ibrahim Jeilan. And he will be thinking of

:17:20. > :17:30.those good thoughts in Daegu but Mo Farah is a different athlete now.

:17:30. > :17:31.

:17:31. > :17:34.is, and the last three laps, 66, 66 and 67 so nothing really happening.

:17:34. > :17:42.As the most confident athlete with the pedigree leading up to this race

:17:42. > :17:46.suggests, here's the man beat. Galen Rupp starts moving up as the come

:17:46. > :17:52.down the home straight, the double Commonwealth champion, Moses Kipsiro

:17:52. > :17:56.next to Mo Farah, 11 laps to go. And the race starts to get serious.

:17:56. > :18:01.Everybody is gathering at the front but nobody is doing anything when

:18:01. > :18:07.they get there. That means it is starting to play more into Mo is

:18:07. > :18:16.fast finishing hands. But there are some fast finishes there, Dejen

:18:16. > :18:23.Gebremeskel was runner up in last year's Olympic 5000 metres. Tanui

:18:23. > :18:32.leads and Imane Merga and Kuma, Mo Farah is still in the middle of a

:18:32. > :18:37.pack. Settling in and relaxing and just doing enough. We can talk about

:18:37. > :18:42.Dejen Gebremeskel in a moment or two, while the backpack are still

:18:42. > :18:49.together, he won the silver medal, Dejen Gebremeskel, didn't have too

:18:49. > :18:52.good a run, I saw him in the Diamond League in New York but he really

:18:52. > :18:57.bounced back with a pacemaker for the first few laps and then he took

:18:57. > :19:01.it on and pushed it and pushed all the other men and the Ethiopians and

:19:01. > :19:06.27 minutes and still outkicked them at the end. But he outkicked them

:19:06. > :19:11.with a lap of 57 seconds at the end and admittedly it was subbed 27 but

:19:11. > :19:18.that is not Mo Farah's style. If he was in a race that was running

:19:18. > :19:25.roughly 27 .5, it would not be a 57. It will be a lot faster than

:19:25. > :19:32.that. This man we have seen demonstrating the ability to run 50

:19:32. > :19:39.for a lap. But there is his team-mate, Galen Rupp moving up, the

:19:39. > :19:47.three Ethiopian team-mates gathering together. Mo Farah following Galen

:19:47. > :19:51.Rupp and still, the pace is not doing anything essential. Another 67

:19:51. > :19:58.lap and that is fine, that will do and now when you get into the single

:19:58. > :20:05.laps, when you are running a 10,000m race, you are starting to get single

:20:05. > :20:09.figures and you start to think, " OK, I can think about this now". Mo

:20:09. > :20:12.Farah will be watching what is going on around him and now it is about

:20:12. > :20:16.concentrating, getting your mind ready. The race is starting to look

:20:16. > :20:21.as if it is a bit predictable, you can tell what will happen unless

:20:21. > :20:24.somebody goes mad now in the last nine laps and Mo has just got to

:20:24. > :20:28.keep his head together. This is a physical race but also a mental

:20:29. > :20:32.race. He slips in behind his team-mate, Galen Rupp. There is a

:20:32. > :20:37.bit of comfort in that because when they do that in training, and if

:20:37. > :20:39.they do that in a race, it is just like a training race, you are beside

:20:40. > :20:43.your team-mate, blocking off anything from behind and then Mo

:20:43. > :20:50.Farah moves into third place and into second place. And when he comes

:20:50. > :20:56.into the finishing straight this time, he will see the laps score

:20:56. > :21:01.telling him it is eight laps to go. Tanui leaving. Mo just there

:21:01. > :21:05.positioning himself where he wants to be, he has run a perfect race but

:21:05. > :21:09.now he must concentrate on keeping fairly close to the front. He cannot

:21:09. > :21:15.be at the back any more, he has to stay in contention. It doesn't

:21:15. > :21:20.really matter if you are running a lap wide. 67 again, thank you very

:21:20. > :21:25.much! This is the point of no return, isn't it. This is when

:21:25. > :21:31.somebody has to be brave. Somebody has to grab the race by the scruff

:21:31. > :21:37.of the neck. When they run down the back straight, they will reach the

:21:37. > :21:41.3,000m to go mark. And that means, once you are inside the last 3K, if

:21:41. > :21:46.you keep on running 66 seconds, you are asking for one thing and one

:21:46. > :21:56.thing only. Tanui has had to do a lot of the work himself, nobody has

:21:56. > :22:08.

:22:08. > :22:16.been that interested. The closer we get to two or three laps to go, the

:22:16. > :22:26.closer Mo Farah gets to the front. We see Muchiri, just for the first

:22:26. > :22:35.time, just get a little bit closer, the Kenyan moving into fifth place.

:22:35. > :22:43.Galen Rupp moving into that group. The Ugandan just on the inside. And

:22:43. > :22:50.the Rwandan in the yellow vest, just ahead of Rupp. You can tell Muchiri

:22:50. > :22:58.wanted to go and this is the first time anyone else aside of two new

:22:58. > :23:05.that has really gone for it. -- aside of Tanui. But there is still

:23:05. > :23:10.no real pace here. Galen Rupp is doing it cleverly there. He is on

:23:10. > :23:20.the shoulder of Mo Farah, so if you want to get in front of those two,

:23:20. > :23:30.you have to go out to the side, go wider. Farah and Rupp on the first

:23:30. > :23:31.

:23:31. > :23:39.and second in the Olympic Games, and they are being tracked by Merga. Six

:23:39. > :23:45.laps to go in the men's 2000m. Mo Farah, our favourite, our hope. The

:23:45. > :23:50.champion of the World Championships in the 5000m and the double Olympic

:23:50. > :23:57.champion from last year. He did not quite get the reception tonight that

:23:57. > :24:01.he did last year but he is getting quite a good reception. Just

:24:02. > :24:06.watching the defending champion, Jeilan, in the back of this group,

:24:06. > :24:13.it looks to me that he is not responding to these changes very

:24:13. > :24:20.well. Gebremeskel is. Jeilan was a little slow. He has just come around

:24:20. > :24:26.the outside. He was a slope when that bit of injection came. I like

:24:26. > :24:31.to see athletes ready to respond. -- he was slow when that had of

:24:31. > :24:36.injection came. Jeilan has realised his mistake and is trying to get

:24:37. > :24:42.back involved now. But he has expended energy doing that.

:24:42. > :24:47.Something has got to break. Mo Farah could not have wished for a after

:24:48. > :24:53.opening up here, to get five lap to go, in the form he is in, with the

:24:53. > :24:58.speed he has got, with this level of the, which is not brutal in any

:24:58. > :25:05.sense. We have seen many of those kinds of races in the World

:25:05. > :25:14.Championships in the past, so Mo will be grateful. Gebremeskel has

:25:14. > :25:18.not done anything yet. There goes Mo Farah! This is smart, tactical,

:25:18. > :25:26.clever. When he comes into the finishing straight he will see the

:25:26. > :25:33.sign saying four laps to go. And Merga and his team mate Rupp and

:25:33. > :25:38.Tanui now, have they come undone? Debra Meskill, the athlete who was

:25:38. > :25:45.runner-up in the Olympic Games, is going at the back door here. --

:25:45. > :25:54.Gebremeskel. The did not respond and is right at the back of the group.

:25:54. > :25:59.He does not look like he has anything to offer. But this could be

:25:59. > :26:05.a demonstration. This could absolutely be a show from Mo. There

:26:05. > :26:10.is Gebremeskel. He looks comfortable enough that he is struggling. He is

:26:10. > :26:15.five metres behind that group. That is not where he wants to be. He is

:26:15. > :26:25.out of reach. Muchiri has tried a couple of times to beat it up but he

:26:25. > :26:25.

:26:25. > :26:35.does not have the pace. Debra Meskill, the Silber champion in the

:26:35. > :26:38.

:26:38. > :26:45.8000 metres, is fading. -- silver controlling it. He is the boss.

:26:45. > :26:51.Three laps to go. Well, the boss has got to control it now. He has got to

:26:51. > :26:58.hold his position. His confidence must be sky-high. They have not

:26:58. > :27:05.really tested him and that was only a 66 - second lap. He is not hurting

:27:05. > :27:11.at all. He will be tired, they will all be tired. Mo Farah begins to

:27:11. > :27:21.control this race like the champion we know he is. Muchiri and Rupp are

:27:21. > :27:28.a bit of a challenge. Ritzenhein takes over. Tanui follows in. Mo has

:27:28. > :27:31.just got to be a little bit careful here. He needs to be just a bit

:27:31. > :27:36.tighter on those athletes. They are now getting into an area where the

:27:36. > :27:44.sprinters can take over. That is dangerous. That was a little bit of

:27:44. > :27:54.a bump. A little bit of a problem. 800 eaters to go. Mo is in a

:27:54. > :27:55.

:27:55. > :28:02.position where he can win it from here. -- 800m. He has got Tanui and

:28:02. > :28:08.Rupp for company. Rupp was meant to protect him on his shoulder, to make

:28:08. > :28:15.them run wide. He could not do it. Mo Farah, 600 to go. He is looking

:28:15. > :28:21.for Rupp, looking for his training partner, for his friend. He wants

:28:21. > :28:26.him on his shoulder. And he has got him there with 600 metres to go.

:28:26. > :28:34.does not have to think about anyone else now. He has just got to think

:28:34. > :28:43.about his own running. Mo Farah, the Olympic champion of 10,000m... Tanui

:28:43. > :28:48.moving. Come on, Mo. We have seen you do it all year. We have seen you

:28:48. > :28:58.sprint on the last lap. Now let's see what you can do today. The bell

:28:58. > :28:59.

:28:59. > :29:04.sounds. 26: 27. And Mo has to grab this last lap. He is strolling down

:29:04. > :29:12.the back straight. He has two more opportunities down the back

:29:12. > :29:17.straight, on the top end. Tanui with him. Now, Mo Farah, show us the

:29:17. > :29:23.speed you have shown us all season. Here comes Jeilan, the defending

:29:23. > :29:33.champion. Jeilan who won it last time, who hit him in the home

:29:33. > :29:52.

:29:52. > :29:57.Farah. He is the world champion. Gold once more! It was hard. It was

:29:57. > :30:01.tough. It was meant to be easy and it was not. It was meant to be a

:30:01. > :30:10.smooth last lap where he turned on the burners and he did it but they

:30:10. > :30:17.were all still there. Mo Farah, his third global gold medal. He has done

:30:17. > :30:27.it. He has done it. And goodness me, he gave us a few anxious moments in

:30:27. > :30:27.

:30:27. > :30:32.that last lap. You suddenly thought, this guy has got the pace, Jeilan.

:30:32. > :30:42.He has beaten Mo Farah in the past. But he had time to eat well, he

:30:42. > :30:44.

:30:44. > :30:48.saved just enough. -- he had time to it while. And he stood the test.

:30:48. > :30:52.When you are a champion as he is, a double Olympic champion, and the

:30:52. > :30:59.expectation is there an deep pressure is there, it is so easy to

:30:59. > :31:08.think, I am just to go there and do it. But we were saying they were not

:31:08. > :31:14.hurting him, they heard him on the last lap and he had to dig deep.

:31:14. > :31:21.noticed he was controlling the race all the way. Sebastien Coe will be

:31:21. > :31:28.delighted with that. Mo Farah, the world champion at 10,000m. The

:31:28. > :31:31.Olympic champion at 10,000m. The European champion at 10,000m. But

:31:31. > :31:41.Jeilan, the defending champion, showed you today he was not a fluke

:31:41. > :31:46.

:31:46. > :31:52.last time. That was a great race by Jeilan. Mo Farah, our champion.

:31:52. > :31:57.Tanui ran a great race two, third place. A great competitive race. The

:31:57. > :32:02.further the race went, the steadier it became. And here they come, into

:32:02. > :32:09.the finishing straight. He has stretched them, he has hurt them.

:32:09. > :32:17.And now here comes Jeilan with a run on the outside. This is what he has

:32:17. > :32:25.been training for. This is the speed in his legs. And he has beaten the

:32:25. > :32:35.champion, Jeilan first and Mo Farah second in Daegu. That is a brutal

:32:35. > :32:35.

:32:35. > :32:39.last lap. The time tells you they were able it tired there. Mo Farah

:32:39. > :32:44.thought he could win this race and he did. Jeilan hoped he could win it

:32:44. > :32:49.and he didn't. That is the difference between champions and

:32:49. > :32:59.runners up. Look how desperate he is. He wants this one. He is a

:32:59. > :33:10.

:33:10. > :33:14.winner. There are a lot of people at CHEERING

:33:14. > :33:22.10,000m races over the years have given us all sorts of stories and

:33:22. > :33:31.dramas. Not a lot happened in this one until somebody set the

:33:31. > :33:35.touchpaper alight right at the end. 59-44 in the last lap. Not the

:33:35. > :33:42.fastest lap he will ever run but it was enough. Mo had to really be

:33:42. > :33:52.there. Jeilan defended his title resolutely. A hammock that knows he

:33:52. > :33:52.

:33:52. > :33:56.has hidden in a race there. -- Mo knows that he has had a race there.

:33:56. > :34:01.But he finished with the result that he and all the rest of us so dearly

:34:01. > :34:10.wanted. He is the greatest distance runner we have ever had in Great

:34:10. > :34:20.Britain. It is a pleasure to be around him because his work ethic is

:34:20. > :34:32.

:34:32. > :34:41.he could win it. Jeilan wanted to win it. -- Mo thought he could win

:34:41. > :34:51.it. He does not need to get any better than that. These are crate

:34:51. > :34:57.

:34:57. > :35:05.now, world champion at 10,000m and 5000m, the Olympic champion. The

:35:05. > :35:14.European champion. He is on the edge of the very greats. Haile

:35:14. > :35:18.Gebrselassie, Bekele. And the British champion is now only a few

:35:18. > :35:24.steps away from joining the list of the all-time greats, and he can

:35:24. > :35:28.become the greatest of all time. He can win a few more things, break a

:35:28. > :35:32.world record or two, win another title or two, and this man could

:35:32. > :35:39.become... He is the only one in that list who is actually still

:35:39. > :35:46.performing. Very kind of you not to mention that he is also the British

:35:46. > :35:51.1500m record-holder. He wins the gold medal in the 10,000m at the

:35:51. > :36:01.World Championships. A great start for Great Britain. Mo Farah, the

:36:01. > :36:03.

:36:03. > :36:10.champion. Mo's ceremony will be later this

:36:10. > :36:15.evening. We had an intriguing, enthralling marathon today, in

:36:15. > :36:19.brutal conditions, the middle of the afternoon in Moscow, where

:36:19. > :36:29.temperatures got up to 30 degrees. Very little shade on a course which

:36:29. > :36:36.

:36:36. > :36:42.offered little respite for the its marathon performances, men and

:36:42. > :36:52.women. But in particular, its women have done so well in these World

:36:52. > :37:02.Championships since 1991, and it was another medal today. Fukushi came

:37:02. > :37:06.

:37:06. > :37:10.here. Perhaps not the best known of the Japanese. But she probably had

:37:10. > :37:16.the biggest smile when she crossed the line, because for a long time,

:37:16. > :37:21.it looked like she wasn't going to win a medal. But then the Ethiopian

:37:21. > :37:26.faded, and Fukushi had it all to herself. Stunning performance from

:37:26. > :37:31.Valeria Straneo. She led almost from the very beginning, Brendan, almost

:37:31. > :37:36.every step of the race until the last mile or so. A very

:37:36. > :37:42.well-deserved silver medal for the Italian. We were so pleased to see

:37:42. > :37:49.the way she ran today. She deserved that medal. But last year's champion

:37:49. > :37:52.proved again that she is the best. She won two years ago by going to

:37:52. > :37:57.the front with a couple of kilometres to go, and that is the

:37:57. > :38:02.first time that she hit the front again today. It is her trademark.

:38:02. > :38:08.She has done it in a couple of half marathons. She can finish so

:38:08. > :38:15.strongly. Edna Kiplagat of Kenya, the first woman to defend the world

:38:15. > :38:25.title in the marathon. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the

:38:25. > :38:25.

:38:25. > :39:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds

:39:34. > :39:40.national anthem of Kenya. The first gold medal for Kenya at

:39:40. > :39:48.these World Championships. And Edna Kiplagat is a great championship

:39:48. > :39:53.marathon runner. Fukushi, just having a little stumble there. They

:39:53. > :39:57.are bound to be a little tired. She can be forgiven. Three very happy

:39:58. > :40:02.medallists. All can be proud of their performances. Susan Partridge

:40:02. > :40:06.finished 10th in that marathon, which was a really strong run. And

:40:06. > :40:09.Sonia Samuels finished in 16th place on a day when many of the big names

:40:09. > :40:15.did not manage to get to the finish, including the Olympic

:40:15. > :40:20.champion. There is one Olympic champion who did produce today. Now

:40:20. > :40:30.the world champion at 10,000 metres as well. Still on his lap of

:40:30. > :40:33.

:40:33. > :40:39.honour. I know his wife is here. The two twins are not here. When they

:40:40. > :40:44.are older, dad will be replaying things. "Here is another race I

:40:44. > :40:53.won". And they will pretend to be interested and impressed. And so

:40:53. > :41:03.they should be. A bit of family time for Mo Farah as

:41:03. > :41:04.

:41:04. > :41:09.he takes stock of that race. Revenge is sweet, Paula, hey? That last 50

:41:09. > :41:18.metres, you think, this lightning is not going to strike twice? I was

:41:18. > :41:22.probably the most nervous in the first few laps. I knew he had it,

:41:22. > :41:26.but he did not look as strong as he has done. He had to work hard for

:41:27. > :41:31.that. They did not necessarily get together and make the race as quick

:41:31. > :41:34.as they could have done, but they did disrupt him a bit. There was a

:41:35. > :41:39.bit of pushing and it did not get into the fluidity he would have

:41:39. > :41:45.liked. There was a lot of toing and froing. There were a couple of

:41:45. > :41:55.incidents where one of them run up the back of him. This was one of the

:41:55. > :42:00.

:42:00. > :42:06.stumbles. But he survived that and he was fine. He was having to force

:42:07. > :42:15.his way out. Steve alluded to it in commentary that Galen Rupp's job is

:42:15. > :42:21.to be the enforcer, and that did not quite come off. His opponent was

:42:21. > :42:28.trying to block him in. That was a calculated move, it was not an

:42:28. > :42:33.accident. I find it extraordinary, running at the pace they are going,

:42:33. > :42:43.that they can communicate their strategy so effectively. When Mo

:42:43. > :42:45.

:42:45. > :42:48.made that swiping move, Jeilan reacted straightaway. It is like a

:42:48. > :42:55.very fast-moving game of chess. You have to watch everything and be

:42:55. > :42:59.prepared to react. You have your own race, but be prepared to react. If

:42:59. > :43:06.Mo was expecting Jeilan to be at a certain point and he was not, Mo has

:43:06. > :43:12.to make sure he still goes ahead with his own plan. Which he did. It

:43:12. > :43:22.is humid, and the pace was not slouching before. So he is reacting

:43:22. > :43:23.

:43:23. > :43:27.well. He is looking comfortable here. But he has also got that

:43:27. > :43:31.bugbear of losing the 10,000 metres two years ago and desperately not

:43:31. > :43:38.wanting to do that. It is a bit of deja vu, because it is Jeilan

:43:38. > :43:44.again. These were anxious moments. He is checking both sides, but there

:43:44. > :43:52.is another gear there. Shows you that you can't look at the form

:43:52. > :44:02.books coming into a race like this. The world leader coming into this

:44:02. > :44:10.ended up finishing 16th. And Jeilan was thought to be the main man to

:44:10. > :44:20.challenge Mo. It was unpredictable. But Jeilan showed that he can be a

:44:20. > :44:31.

:44:31. > :44:35.danger at World Championships. He has that ranging stride, and he is

:44:35. > :44:44.just winding it up. He does not look like he has changed pace, but it is

:44:44. > :44:49.hard to go with him. Mo is quicker at this stage. Is this the worst of

:44:49. > :44:54.the last two years? If this was the home straight in day go, would it

:44:55. > :45:01.have been the same? Is it the work of the last two years? And the

:45:01. > :45:05.confidence of the last two years. In Daegu, he panicked a bit. He

:45:05. > :45:11.slightly misjudged it and went to soon. Here, he wasn't. He knew what

:45:11. > :45:14.he was doing, even if he did feel that his legs were a bit heavy.

:45:14. > :45:23.must never take his performances for granted, because with success comes

:45:23. > :45:30.expect Haitian. -- comes expectation.

:45:30. > :45:40.Come on ! I actually found that very difficult

:45:40. > :45:45.to watch. With 200 metres to go, I really wasn't sure. Look at that !

:45:45. > :45:51.But he does that to us now. Ashamed and embarrassed as an describe it.

:45:51. > :45:55.Let's hear from Mo. This is the one that got away two years ago, but not

:45:55. > :45:59.today. You were not going to lose this one. I definitely had the

:45:59. > :46:05.experience from a couple of years ago. This time, I saw Jeilan

:46:05. > :46:10.coming. I knew he was behind me. It was important that I had something

:46:10. > :46:14.left. It was nice to beat him this time. Tell me about the race and the

:46:14. > :46:22.tactics. You had your heels clipped a couple of times. I nearly went

:46:22. > :46:25.down a couple of times, but thank God, I didn't go down. I managed to

:46:26. > :46:34.cover every move. Me and my training partner Galen Rupp managed to work

:46:34. > :46:38.together. Your face is always a big in the home straight. If you look at

:46:38. > :46:43.this monitor, you can see yourself. Look at the determination on that

:46:43. > :46:52.face. I didn't want to lose again. A couple of years ago, I remember when

:46:52. > :46:57.I was second. I kept looking across, as you can see. When did you realise

:46:58. > :47:03.you had it won? Just as I was crossing the line. What is the

:47:03. > :47:08.feeling as you cross the line? Is it a sense of relief? You have all four

:47:08. > :47:13.medals over 5000 and macro 10,000 metres. It was nice to come and win

:47:13. > :47:19.it. That was the one that was missing. So it is worth it. Training

:47:19. > :47:25.has been hard and I have spent a lot of time away from the family. When I

:47:25. > :47:29.went back to compete at the London games and my little daughter didn't

:47:29. > :47:36.recognise me, one of the twins, she did not, to me because I have been

:47:36. > :47:41.away. So it is hard because you don't want to be away from your kids

:47:41. > :47:44.for that long as a parent. But I am proud for my country. We are proud

:47:45. > :47:49.of you. One final word on what it is like to be the man with the target

:47:49. > :47:55.on his back 's last time round, we hoped you would win. This time, we

:47:55. > :48:02.expected you to win will stop what is it like? It is hard work.

:48:02. > :48:06.Sometimes, it is just easier to go out in a race like in Monaco where I

:48:06. > :48:10.ended up running a personal best. It is harder, but it is nice to have

:48:10. > :48:14.the nation behind you. I get great messages from Twitter and Facebook,

:48:14. > :48:20.so it is nice to see so many people still cheering for me and who still

:48:20. > :48:27.believe in me. Thank you for keeping on delivering. Well done. I just

:48:27. > :48:37.want to say hello to my grandma. She is in the UK now. And my parents and

:48:37. > :49:11.

:49:11. > :49:16.everyone in the UK who gave me great So, day one, second medal available,

:49:16. > :49:21.gold for Great Britain. We have won 50% of the gold medals available at

:49:21. > :49:25.this championship so far. To see him there, chatting about the

:49:25. > :49:28.sacrifices. It was a fantastic race, but when you put into context that

:49:28. > :49:35.one of his twins didn't recognise him, it is about compartmentalised

:49:35. > :49:39.your life isn't it? Right now, I am 30 years old, I have to go for it

:49:39. > :49:49.this opportunity will not come again. People bubbly had to work

:49:49. > :49:49.

:49:49. > :49:55.harder this year than any other so tough to get the balance right.

:49:55. > :50:04.But to be the champion, you have to give it everything. And he does

:50:04. > :50:09.that. It is extraordinary after last year. One of the factors was

:50:09. > :50:15.intimidation. But there is also expected, and the field around him

:50:15. > :50:19.one to beat him. There is expectation from all of us that he

:50:19. > :50:23.will just go out there and win gold medals, and balancing all of those

:50:23. > :50:27.emotions, you have been there. You have been the golden girl that

:50:27. > :50:32.everyone said would win. That is tough. It is tough, but however much

:50:32. > :50:37.pressure comes from outside, the biggest pressure is from yourself.

:50:37. > :50:41.Right now, as Mo said, he is happy because he is running well. He is

:50:41. > :50:46.having fun. He is running a lot of PBS Mac. Everything is coming

:50:46. > :50:50.together. He is in that double patch where he believes he is going to win

:50:50. > :50:54.and no one will beat him. And everyone else is looking around

:50:54. > :51:00.thinking, I am running for second here. I don't really believe. Jeilan

:51:00. > :51:03.was closest to be leaving, but he did not believe he would get past

:51:03. > :51:08.Mo. I am glad he said he did not know he had won until he crossed a

:51:08. > :51:12.line, because he did need to keep running through the line. He is

:51:12. > :51:21.happiest when locked away in the training camp, but that is a

:51:21. > :51:24.sacrifice as a parent. At six o'clock, he will get his medal here

:51:25. > :51:29.in the Luzhniki Stadium, so make sure you are around. We need you at

:51:29. > :51:32.home standing up, because there are not as many British supporters as we

:51:33. > :51:37.would like. Last year, one of the factors he felt got him through

:51:37. > :51:42.those gold medals was the home support. You did not have a 12 man,

:51:42. > :51:52.so to speak, from the crowd here. You were doing this on your own. No

:51:52. > :51:52.

:51:52. > :51:55.other British athlete on the field. It felt like a solo effort. He needs

:51:55. > :51:59.to do what he does on the track and there are pockets of great British

:51:59. > :52:06.support out there, he would have heard that but primarily, Mo has to

:52:06. > :52:11.do the job. And he did, Mo done it. And the producer of that clip, he

:52:11. > :52:17.expected to work with him for the next eight days. I will keep my

:52:17. > :52:24.emotions to myself next time. Paula, you were very cool there. They did

:52:24. > :52:30.not have a camera on me in the first five laps! I haven't got the video

:52:30. > :52:40.evidence to prove it! Let's go back to the field events, Shara Proctor

:52:40. > :52:42.

:52:42. > :52:50.metres to make it through to Tamara's final and the first person

:52:50. > :52:55.we will see is letting Okagbare. One of the best sprinters and jumpers --

:52:55. > :53:02.blessing Okagbare. She has got so much flat speed. She took off well

:53:02. > :53:08.as well. It is the longest jump we have seen so far by the looks of it.

:53:08. > :53:16.6.75 should not be a problem for her. But known over the last couple

:53:16. > :53:20.of seasons as a sprinter where she really has set the world alight with

:53:20. > :53:30.sub 11 100 medical kings. That is good, 6.83, the furthest we have

:53:30. > :53:34.

:53:34. > :53:38.seen. -- sub 11 100m clock timings. I'm now Shara Proctor. She broke the

:53:38. > :53:45.British record -- and now Shara Proctor. She has had some fantastic

:53:45. > :53:48.no jumps but she gets a white flag this time and that looked to be a

:53:48. > :53:57.very promising start in deed for the Birchfield Harrier. Watch this. She

:53:57. > :54:04.is fast. She is flexible. And look at that, my goodness, 26 centimetres

:54:04. > :54:09.behind the maximum take off point. So certainly making safe because she

:54:09. > :54:13.has had some big no jumps close to seven metres this season and she

:54:13. > :54:16.certainly looks in that sort of shape. We could be in for a surprise

:54:16. > :54:21.medal at these championships if she nails one in the final but has she

:54:21. > :54:28.made it through? Yes, she has. The longest jump we have seen, beating

:54:28. > :54:38.Okagbare. 6.85 and Shara Proctor is safely through to the final. A new

:54:38. > :54:38.

:54:38. > :54:43.name to most of us is the United States jumper Polk, finished second

:54:43. > :54:47.in the US trials. Fairly successful in the Diamond League trials,

:54:47. > :54:54.finished fourth in London. That is good, that is very good indeed and

:54:54. > :55:01.that is certainly up with Okagbare and Shara Proctor. Very promising

:55:01. > :55:10.athlete indeed. She has been around for a long, long time domestically

:55:10. > :55:20.but she lacks international major championship internationally

:55:20. > :55:23.for the United States but she is certainly proving her worth here.

:55:23. > :55:27.Tori Polk being applauded by her coach and that is a massive lifetime

:55:27. > :55:32.best performance. GABBY LOGAN: Shara Proctor safely

:55:32. > :55:42.through to the final of the long jump. Going back to the track, it is

:55:42. > :55:49.now the decathlon 400m heats, the COMMENTATOR: The athletes are out on

:55:50. > :55:59.the track for the second heat. We had a good heat a little while ago.

:56:00. > :56:00.

:56:00. > :56:10.Through Michael Schrader who goes in lane five in the second heats.

:56:10. > :56:10.

:56:10. > :56:20.Suarez and 48 seconds as well as Dudas. But Michael Schrader is the

:56:20. > :56:21.

:56:21. > :56:26.one to watch, 110 points behind the overall leader which is not Ashton

:56:26. > :56:32.Eaton. More about that a little later on. Converting time into

:56:32. > :56:37.points is exactly what these guys want. At this stage of the day, the

:56:37. > :56:42.last event on day one of the decathlon and it is Michael Schrader

:56:42. > :56:46.going quickly into the back straight. Mikk Pahapill on the

:56:46. > :56:54.outside to the left-hand side of your picture being chased by

:56:54. > :57:00.Schrader, the former world and European youth champion. One of a

:57:00. > :57:10.crop of good multi-events athletes coached by the last German to win

:57:10. > :57:13.

:57:13. > :57:19.pressure on everybody including the overall leader, Gunnar Nixon.

:57:19. > :57:26.Schrader finishing quite strongly... I was going to say and

:57:26. > :57:32.46 seconds but just outside, 47.66. That is a new lifetime best for the

:57:32. > :57:37.young German. Finishing the first day on a real high. He'll be tough

:57:37. > :57:42.to beat tomorrow, very good at the technical events we have got discus

:57:42. > :57:51.and pole vault to come in the field as well the hurdles and the javelin,

:57:51. > :57:57.of course. And the 1,500m. This is a replay of the jump we saw before by

:57:57. > :58:03.Tori Polk of the USA. Let's watch it again. Beautiful take-off, sailed

:58:03. > :58:11.through the air. And went out toward seven metres but certainly qualifies

:58:11. > :58:14.for that final, 6.75 it was confirmed that. Still behind Shara

:58:14. > :58:20.Proctor of Great Britain who leaves all of the qualifiers in both the

:58:20. > :58:24.pools at the moment. Having taken of 26 centimetres behind the board,

:58:24. > :58:30.that could have been a seven-metre jump for Shara Proctor. Everybody

:58:30. > :58:37.hoping that she can jump a seven-metre distance by the time we

:58:37. > :58:43.get to tomorrow's final. That was Chris, the Commonwealth champion

:58:43. > :58:46.with the hammer. Doing what so many hammer thrower is he doing which is

:58:46. > :58:54.pushing the hammer up into the cage so it has taken all those officials

:58:54. > :58:58.to get it down again, from Chris Harmse and that has caused a delay

:58:58. > :59:04.in the second qualifying round of the hammer throwing. Dilshod Nazarov

:59:04. > :59:07.of Tadjikistan is the president of his athletics union. And the

:59:07. > :59:12.president of Great Britain's athletic Federation is, of course,

:59:12. > :59:19.Lynn Davies. I wonder if he fancies coming out of retirement. Just to

:59:19. > :59:25.show the way for British athletes but over the qualifying distance

:59:25. > :59:35.there, one of only five athletes to achieve the qualifying distance. The

:59:35. > :59:35.

:59:35. > :59:40.first pool we had a couple of guys, including the Olympic champion,

:59:40. > :59:50.Krisztian Pars and Lukas Melich of the Czech Republic, both of whom

:59:50. > :59:51.

:59:51. > :00:00.went over 78 metres. And Nazir of also produced another one. 77.93

:00:00. > :00:07.metres. The name of Sergiy Lebid of in the history books is a man who

:00:07. > :00:15.has won the World Championship title twice. And this is his sermon

:00:15. > :00:17.delivered her son, Sergej Litvinov junior. There he is, the Olympic

:00:17. > :00:23.champion and double world champion of the past and the second longest

:00:23. > :00:30.flower in history. I would have to say, he hasn't passed on his superb

:00:30. > :00:40.technique and speed to his son, he is pretty useful and has thrown far

:00:40. > :00:41.

:00:41. > :00:51.this year and it is long on that occasion. The third round for him

:00:51. > :00:59.

:00:59. > :01:03.and 77 .41, he is safely through to in qualification, that long jump

:01:03. > :01:06.competition is still going on but because she qualified at the very

:01:06. > :01:16.first attempt, she was allowed to leave the arena and on the way out

:01:16. > :01:17.

:01:17. > :01:22.and do it in one job. He did just that. Oh, my God! I am so happy, I

:01:22. > :01:25.was able to watch it and I was way behind the board. I didn't realise I

:01:25. > :01:30.was so far behind it but just happy to get the qualification mark on the

:01:30. > :01:38.first jump. And now it is crunch time tomorrow so I have to go back

:01:38. > :01:43.and get ready for tomorrow. You know the seven-metre jump is capable of.

:01:43. > :01:47.Hey, I don't want to get to confident exactly right now but I am

:01:47. > :01:51.aiming for the stars right now, the moon actually. Like I say, go back

:01:51. > :01:54.home and get ready for tomorrow. Reach for the stars, the moon,

:01:54. > :02:04.everything, you deserve everything, enjoy the final. Good luck. Thank

:02:04. > :02:09.

:02:09. > :02:15.decathlon, Gunnar Nixon is the person leading at the moment and

:02:15. > :02:22.Ashton Eaton is a bit under par at the moment. As Paul was mentioning,

:02:22. > :02:32.I think Michael Schrader has got himself into pole position. A big

:02:32. > :02:32.

:02:32. > :02:37.cheer for Ilya Shkurenev, at the moment in 13th place overall. And

:02:37. > :02:47.here is Andrei Kravchenko, he prefers the Russian name although

:02:47. > :02:48.

:02:48. > :02:55.that is the Belarusian spelling. He is very well placed. And the man we

:02:55. > :03:02.have not seen yet is the 20-year-old from Oklahoma who overhauled Ashton

:03:02. > :03:09.Eaton in the high jump, Gunnar Nixon. There he is. All events

:03:09. > :03:12.tomorrow for him are pretty weak. What can he manage here? Could he

:03:12. > :03:15.still be leading come the end of the first day? We expected Ashton Eaton

:03:15. > :03:25.to be out in front but still a few questions over his fitness, he is

:03:25. > :03:40.

:03:40. > :03:46.not quite there. Can anyone take noise coming from the style of the

:03:46. > :03:52.stadium with the long jump pit. -- the side of the stadium. He is just

:03:52. > :04:02.20. Showing tremendous composure for a young man, or a little bit

:04:02. > :04:10.

:04:10. > :04:17.Incidentally, Trey Hardee, the other American and the winner of the last

:04:17. > :04:27.two World Championships, he did not start in his feet after the high

:04:27. > :04:38.

:04:38. > :04:48.jump so American challenges left to decathlon, Ashton Eaton goes in the

:04:48. > :04:48.

:04:48. > :04:52.next and final heat. The final event of the first day of the decathlon.

:04:52. > :04:58.And this time we go, watch Gunnar Nixon in lane number four in the

:04:58. > :05:05.bright red. Personal best of 40.37. Anything close to that, he will be

:05:05. > :05:11.delighted. In pretty good shape coming down the back straight. The

:05:11. > :05:15.quickest man in personal best is in the sixth place overall at the

:05:15. > :05:20.moment. So if you can get close to his personal best, he will be

:05:20. > :05:25.ideally placed going into the second day but at the moment it is the

:05:25. > :05:33.Belarusian taking it out and he will leave coming out into the home

:05:33. > :05:43.straight from Edward Mikan. Gunnar Nixon loving hard, trying to come

:05:43. > :05:44.

:05:44. > :05:54.through and instead it is all about the time. 40.35 that 40 8.35. A very

:05:54. > :06:05.

:06:05. > :06:11.tidy run from Willem Coertzen. A personal best time for Coertzen.

:06:11. > :06:17.Yes, that will be very interesting indeed, because Nixon came into this

:06:17. > :06:26.event on day one with a good time under his belt previously for the

:06:26. > :06:33.season. He just missed time to that one. -- he mistimed it. He was going

:06:33. > :06:43.until that point. Then Shkurenev came storming through to get ahead

:06:43. > :06:45.

:06:45. > :06:50.of him, along with Coertzen. Nixon, just 20 years old, a former world

:06:51. > :06:56.junior champion, is eight or did just talent. That was the only

:06:56. > :07:01.glitch in what has been a perfect day for him so far. 10.84 for the

:07:01. > :07:08.100 metres earlier today. Seven metres in the long jump and a

:07:08. > :07:12.massive high jump, 2.14 metres. Ashley Bryant of Great Britain would

:07:12. > :07:16.love to have been alongside Nixon and the rest to contest this

:07:16. > :07:26.catalogue, but he did not turn up for the 100 metres this morning

:07:26. > :07:45.

:07:45. > :07:51.the long jump as far as a British prospect is concerned.

:07:51. > :07:56.Lorraine Ugen, as you can see there. The Blackheath and Bromley Harrier

:07:56. > :08:03.has a problem. Two files against her name. This is the last jump. Has she

:08:03. > :08:08.got a red flag or a white flag 's it is read. What it is appointed. --

:08:08. > :08:13.what a disappointment. Lorraine Ugen is continuing her education in

:08:13. > :08:17.Texas. Just 21 years old, a wonderful prospect. But on this

:08:17. > :08:24.occasion, she has three crosses next to her name and takes no further

:08:24. > :08:31.part in the competition. Well, it is all going to get very

:08:31. > :08:35.short and sharp soon. Seven 100 metre heats are upon us soon. We

:08:35. > :08:38.will take another trip down memory lane back to 2009, the when the

:08:38. > :08:48.fastest ever 100 metres of all time was run in the World Championships

:08:48. > :09:04.

:09:04. > :09:11.Tyson Gay alongside Usain Bolt, but it is Bolt all the way. It is gold

:09:11. > :09:21.for Bolt ! He has done it again ! A new world record for Usain Bolt !

:09:21. > :09:25.They say lightning doesn't strike twice. Can you believe it?

:09:25. > :09:31.And of course, that still stands. While he has run fast, he has never

:09:31. > :09:36.run that fast since. He has, that season, been running well within

:09:36. > :09:42.himself. Colin Jackson has joined us in the studio. He is getting warmed

:09:42. > :09:51.up, looking relaxed. But he has not ought to the debt that we know he

:09:51. > :09:54.can plumb? Yes, his defeat may have shocked a lot of people. I watched

:09:54. > :09:59.that race and scrutinised it and realised that there was not a big

:09:59. > :10:03.problem, just that he was lacking racing. He was not in the groove

:10:03. > :10:06.yet, but he still managed to go under that ten second figure. We

:10:06. > :10:10.thought something special was on the cards. Last year at the Olympic

:10:10. > :10:18.Games, after speaking to his coach, he thought Usain should have broken

:10:18. > :10:22.the world record. He should have gone faster than 9.58. He failed.

:10:22. > :10:25.Will his coach put pressure on him to produce a quicker time today? I

:10:25. > :10:30.am not sure, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that we do see

:10:30. > :10:38.something magical. We are going to go back down to the track for the

:10:38. > :10:41.400 metre heats for the decathlon. We are certainly going to try and

:10:41. > :10:46.answer the question as to what sort of shape Ashton Eaton, the world

:10:46. > :10:56.record holder, is in. We had a look at his ankles earlier and there is

:10:56. > :10:56.

:10:56. > :12:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds

:12:06. > :12:10.no strapping on either of them, so Average, for him. Not bad in the

:12:10. > :12:20.shot put, not add in the high jump, but this will be a real test for

:12:20. > :12:59.

:12:59. > :13:09.Ashton Eaton could run away from everybody. He is going to have to

:13:09. > :13:15.do. At the moment, the US athlete is leading. And Schrader of Germany is

:13:15. > :13:24.in second place. Ashton Eaton looks as though he means business. He is

:13:24. > :13:34.already closing down. He has left Sintnicolaas for dead. Damian Warner

:13:34. > :13:36.

:13:36. > :13:40.Way back in lane two making good progress. But it is all about Ashton

:13:40. > :13:47.Eaton. We could see a remarkable run from him. When he grabbed the world

:13:47. > :13:51.record, he was close to 46 seconds. He is going away from everybody.

:13:51. > :13:55.Ashton Eaton is running one of the best 400 metres of his life. Damian

:13:55. > :14:04.Warner is coming through strongly. But Ashton Eaton, by an absolute

:14:04. > :14:12.country mile. That is one of the fastest 400 metres ever in decathlon

:14:12. > :14:18.terms. That gains him a massive total of points, 1007. He could well

:14:18. > :14:22.be back on par with Gunnar Nixon and Michael Schrader at the end of day

:14:22. > :14:26.one. What a remarkable run from Ashton Eaton, after a very

:14:26. > :14:33.disappointing high jump, edition only a couple of hours ago. That was

:14:33. > :14:38.truly spectacular. I think a few questions have been and said, a few

:14:38. > :14:48.doubts dispelled about the form and fitness and health of Ashton Eaton.

:14:48. > :14:48.

:14:48. > :14:52.He was an amazing sight coming down the home straight. He looks far

:14:52. > :14:58.closer to a proper sprinter than the rest, those lumbering creatures

:14:58. > :15:03.behind him. The distance between them says it all. Shaking his head

:15:03. > :15:10.from side to side as he tries to keep some form. Ashton Eaton,

:15:10. > :15:18.different class. Just tiring a little bit at the end, but you saw a

:15:18. > :15:23.class act there. I can confirm that Ashton Eaton of the United States,

:15:23. > :15:30.the world record-holder and Olympic champion, is back in the lead. At

:15:30. > :15:35.the end of day one, he had one blip in his competition progressed

:15:35. > :15:45.throughout this first day, the high jump, but he is back on top of the

:15:45. > :15:58.

:15:58. > :16:05.Things are going well for Ashton Eaton. Just a little aside. They did

:16:05. > :16:07.not go so well month and a half ago in training. He has just got married

:16:07. > :16:16.to his heptathlon sweetheart, and they were doing gambling practice

:16:16. > :16:19.together, which is incredibly sweet -- javelin practice together. But he

:16:19. > :16:24.went to retrieve his javelin, and she actually got him with the

:16:24. > :16:28.javelin. There are many couples together saying, why can't we

:16:28. > :16:37.practice javelin together? But it was unintended, obviously. He still

:16:37. > :16:42.married her. It did catch him. It just caught the top of his lip. I

:16:42. > :16:47.hope he signed all the insurance papers beforehand. She is of course

:16:47. > :16:50.competing here as well, and they are now married. It looks like married

:16:50. > :16:57.life is suiting him, because that was a very impressive run. Wasn't it

:16:57. > :17:00.just? As Paul said, he has not had the perfect first day, and his

:17:00. > :17:06.second day tends not to be very strong, so he needs that buffer

:17:06. > :17:11.going into the second day. But world record-holder, he is amazing.

:17:11. > :17:16.Olympic champion, he has got it all. For his stature, he packs a punch

:17:16. > :17:21.for the decathlon. Moving on to the 100 metres, the heats are upon us.

:17:21. > :17:27.Seven heats in total. Obviously, there is one man everyone is excited

:17:27. > :17:32.about seeing, but let's talk about our men, firstly James Dasaolu.

:17:32. > :17:40.Unfortunately for him and he did not manage to make it through to the

:17:40. > :17:46.final in the last event. We are all excited about this. He produced this

:17:46. > :17:56.astonishing performance in the qualifying round. But in the final,

:17:56. > :17:56.

:17:56. > :18:04.when Chambers ran on at 10.0, and so did Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. So I

:18:04. > :18:09.imagine James was watching that. the worry in that story that, for

:18:09. > :18:13.whatever reason, he said it was cramped, but he did not run in that

:18:13. > :18:20.final? In these championships, he will have heats, semis and a final.

:18:20. > :18:27.It will be a real test of endurance. That did worry me. It is not the

:18:27. > :18:31.first time we have seen him pull out of events within legal. -- with a

:18:31. > :18:35.nickel. Sometimes you have got to go through it to understand more about

:18:35. > :18:39.yourself as an athlete. I worry when athletes repeatedly pull out of

:18:39. > :18:43.things. You question how hurt they are in the first place. A lot of

:18:43. > :18:48.people will say if you are injured, you are injured, in his case, he

:18:48. > :18:52.might have thought, I have done enough today. He will not be able to

:18:52. > :18:57.do that at the World Championships. There are a lot of guys running sub

:18:57. > :19:01.ten seconds, and he will need to be on his game repeatedly. He had the

:19:01. > :19:06.opportunity to race against Bolt in London, and pulled out very close to

:19:06. > :19:11.the start of that race. If he had gone head to head with Bolt, that

:19:11. > :19:19.would be a kind of fear factor that would have gone. You want to compete

:19:19. > :19:25.against your top opponents as often as you can. Another European athlete

:19:25. > :19:29.did that, the Frenchman. When he got under the magical ten second

:19:29. > :19:33.barrier, he had got into the mix with the other top athletes.

:19:33. > :19:37.James's PB is quicker than his, but he raced better from it. I was

:19:37. > :19:41.hoping that if we saw James get into these real head to head

:19:41. > :19:44.competitions, he would settle into the groove of being one of the top

:19:44. > :19:48.flight. He is the second quickest 100 metre runner of all time will

:19:48. > :19:57.stop he has got what it takes to run those kinds of times. This will be a

:19:57. > :20:02.really big test. It will be, but like Colin said, the athletes of

:20:02. > :20:05.yesteryear went out and competed hard. They work the circuit. So

:20:05. > :20:09.coming to the championships, they knew their competitors. They

:20:09. > :20:13.understood what it takes to elevate themselves. It is that confidence

:20:13. > :20:18.you need to understand that yes, I have run a quick time, but I know I

:20:18. > :20:23.can repeat it. That puts fear into the other athletes. Looking at

:20:23. > :20:27.Christine earlier, Colin said, you run to win your race. That is the

:20:27. > :20:37.way you were coached. With 100 metres, do you apply the same? Do

:20:37. > :20:38.

:20:38. > :20:44.you look at what others around you have previously done? they know the

:20:44. > :20:49.potentially, they have the ability to cruise this one but it is a

:20:49. > :20:54.dangerous game unless you are Usain Bolt. If you can jog down the rest,

:20:54. > :20:58.I do not think James has that luxury, he has to keep working to

:20:59. > :21:01.make sure he moves safely through. And in the first round, you have

:21:01. > :21:04.only done the performances of that season but then you are ranked on

:21:04. > :21:07.the performances you do here on the track so if you are coming in third

:21:07. > :21:14.and just cruising, you could get a really tough next round draw and

:21:14. > :21:23.that is what you don't want. So you go for it. Exactly. Whether it is

:21:23. > :21:30.British interest or globally, Nesta Carter 's is a challenger there and

:21:30. > :21:34.sellers hand down to the commentary, the first of these seven 100m heats.

:21:34. > :21:44.COMMENTATOR: I think it will be Bailey Cole ever be watching and

:21:44. > :21:46.

:21:46. > :21:54.perhaps Christophe Lemaitre, the two qualifying, there was a preliminary

:21:54. > :22:03.round for this, Calvin Kang Li Loong also came through. The Zimbabwean

:22:03. > :22:07.runner as well, and the rest of the field on the screen. The first three

:22:07. > :22:17.and the next three fastest. Some of these heats, there are seven of

:22:17. > :22:19.

:22:19. > :22:22.them, Dwain Chambers goes in the third, James Dasaolu and four, have

:22:22. > :22:31.-- Harry Aikines Aryeetey in sixth, and there are others who are more

:22:31. > :22:40.tasty than others. The African junior champion, Gabriel Mvumvure,

:22:40. > :22:44.now 25 years of age, and the great talent this year who has run quickly

:22:44. > :22:49.but Christophe Lemaitre, by contrast, has been out of sorts

:22:49. > :22:56.particularly in the second half of the season. He started OK and he has

:22:56. > :23:02.had to watch his team-mate, Jimmy Vicaut, going into this. Christophe

:23:02. > :23:05.Lemaitre definitely better at the 200 metres but having to run out

:23:05. > :23:10.here. He may need this 100 metres to bring him on a little bit. He has

:23:10. > :23:13.been told he has been a couple of problems and he has pulled out a

:23:13. > :23:19.couple of meetings but after the French championships he came and ran

:23:19. > :23:24.in London. Only fourth in that but Bailey Cole, he almost beat Bolt at

:23:24. > :23:34.the start of the year. Some suggestions that he might have eased

:23:34. > :24:00.

:24:00. > :24:05.morning to make it through to 10.02 into a very slight raise. And

:24:05. > :24:09.that has laid a marker right at the beginning. Funny suggestion is the

:24:09. > :24:16.preliminary round, it is the first one for most of the big names where

:24:16. > :24:19.they come out with a bit more a bang that they might do, hanging around

:24:19. > :24:23.all day to wait for the chance to perform and Bailey Cole has produced

:24:23. > :24:31.something near his personal best. Rest of the match after a terrible

:24:31. > :24:37.start to did well to get up into second and it was tight after that.

:24:37. > :24:40.And they keep coming from Jamaica. Bailey Cole, wonderful, easy start.

:24:40. > :24:45.Quite impressed with Christophe Lemaitre, had to work hard for it

:24:45. > :24:55.but showed that the speed is there. If you can improve things in the

:24:55. > :25:05.earlier stages of the race. Kemar Bailey-Cole as a style to watch Andy

:25:05. > :25:07.

:25:07. > :25:14.fear for the rest of the Jamaicans. -- and you fear. No macro Asafa

:25:14. > :25:19.Powell. He has also got Nesta Carter and the likes of Usain Bolt and

:25:19. > :25:26.Bailey Cole is laying down a reminder of how good he can be.

:25:26. > :25:36.21 years of age, and the ten seconds this year, 9.96 and that was a

:25:36. > :25:37.

:25:37. > :25:43.pretty impressive start for him. Mark Butler is telling me a stadium

:25:43. > :25:52.record, 10.02. I can't believe they have never broken ten seconds here

:25:52. > :25:55.but that is the away the times look for the first heat. We can wrap up

:25:55. > :26:01.the qualifying competition for the winning's long jump with Brittney

:26:01. > :26:05.Reese. The defending world champion who jumped 6.57 in the first two

:26:05. > :26:12.rounds. She came up for the third round lying in 12th place overall

:26:12. > :26:20.and only 12 athletes qualify for tomorrow's final. It wasn't any

:26:20. > :26:23.longer, in fact it was a lot less, down in the sixth and 40s. She would

:26:23. > :26:33.have to hang on and hang on until all of the athletes have completed

:26:33. > :26:35.

:26:35. > :26:39.their three rounds -- down in the 6.40s. Brittney Reese came down to

:26:39. > :26:46.the final to defend her title or virtue of the fact she had a second

:26:46. > :26:49.longest jump, slightly longer than that of her closest defender. From

:26:49. > :26:57.Britain's point of view, Shara Proctor was still the longest on

:26:57. > :27:01.display in the stadium rock when he raced through to the final - just.

:27:01. > :27:10.There are the qualifiers. 6.85 for Shara Proctor and everybody here is

:27:10. > :27:16.utterly convinced that she can make seven metres by hitting the board

:27:16. > :27:22.was not a single Cribari has got a busy day five preliminary rounds and

:27:23. > :27:32.also she goes in the long jump as well as the other events -- Lessing

:27:33. > :27:35.

:27:35. > :27:42.back to the first 100 metres race, adverse eulogising with his

:27:42. > :27:47.beautiful style. It is a beautiful thing to hold. Donovan Bailey was

:27:47. > :27:51.here early and same athletes don't drive but Bailey Cole did not drive

:27:51. > :27:57.either but he focused on what needed to be done, it was a nice gun to

:27:57. > :28:02.tape race. Beautifully relaxed and nearly perfect. Great to see.

:28:02. > :28:06.Reminded me of a young Michael Johnson with the features. But that

:28:06. > :28:10.reminds me that Michael Johnson will be with us on Monday, sadly he has

:28:10. > :28:14.been through a family bereavement solo his arrival in Moscow is

:28:14. > :28:24.delayed. Moving onto the second heat and Martina and Nesta Carter are

:28:24. > :28:25.

:28:25. > :28:35.but certainly a real medal prospect. The nearest challenger now to Usain

:28:35. > :28:37.

:28:37. > :28:41.Bolt, Nesta Carter, goes in the third line. Also Churandy Martina.

:28:41. > :28:51.You see the Japanese flag waving in the background, he has gone close to

:28:51. > :28:53.

:28:53. > :29:03.breaching ten seconds. The lanes of 100 metres are littered with young

:29:03. > :29:19.

:29:20. > :29:29.genius to fails to materialise later metres. Three to go through

:29:30. > :29:39.

:29:39. > :29:49.down but Nesta Carter coming away strongly. -- a fall in there. Nesta

:29:49. > :29:52.

:29:52. > :29:58.Carter, the winner. And again, job done for Nesta Carter. Yoshihide

:29:58. > :30:05.Kiryu also through by the looks of it but Nesta Carter as we expected.

:30:05. > :30:11.You don't often get that, Ifrish Alberg down in that lane and

:30:11. > :30:16.stumbles out of the blocks, Carter going well. Yoshihide Kiryu doesn't

:30:16. > :30:21.quite hang on as Gavin Smellie finishes well. Not quite as

:30:21. > :30:26.impressive, Nesta Carter, aid different athlete to Kemar

:30:26. > :30:31.Bailey-Cole, much more powerful. I think he will be a threat, so much

:30:31. > :30:38.experience. Can start very well, Carter, he can explode out of the

:30:38. > :30:43.blocks. Look at the reaction times. The young Japanese athlete, you can

:30:43. > :30:52.see why, when he gets hold of it and comes out of the blocks, he is small

:30:52. > :30:58.and compact but Carter and Martina, the two names sailing through.

:30:58. > :31:02.traditional lead off man for the Jamaican relay team. Not quite as

:31:02. > :31:09.easy a style as we saw in the first heat and this is Ifrish Alberg

:31:09. > :31:19.going, going... Gone. Came through the preliminary round to it through

:31:19. > :31:23.

:31:23. > :31:28.to the first round. He would have for you. The first three again going

:31:28. > :31:33.through automatically from each heat and Yoshihide Kiryu was just run out

:31:33. > :31:39.of it, he is capable of better than 10.31. But I am not sure that will

:31:39. > :31:42.be the fastest to go through. But Nesta Carter, Churandy Martina and

:31:42. > :31:46.Gavin Smellie go through to the next round.

:31:46. > :31:51.GABBY LOGAN: Usain Bolt is in the seventh heat which means it is just

:31:51. > :31:55.about time for him to enter the arena. Everybody is falling? Was

:31:55. > :32:05.that a trip? Causes a bit of merriment there. I do not think it

:32:05. > :32:05.

:32:05. > :32:10.men in the world at the moment. Supreme out of the blocks, as

:32:10. > :32:15.always. He is known for fast starting and he did what he came to

:32:15. > :32:22.do. Nice, high into his running. Great relaxation from here on in. I

:32:22. > :32:28.think it was a really good race. With Churandy Martina from the

:32:28. > :32:33.Netherlands coming through as well. He can sneak in and take the medals,

:32:33. > :32:37.he is always there or thereabouts. You sometimes forget about him but

:32:37. > :32:47.it was great to see him doing what he's doing here. The next heat, the

:32:47. > :32:51.

:32:51. > :32:55.third heat sees the first of our COMMENTATOR: Dwain Chambers will go

:32:55. > :32:59.in lane number three. This was a tough one for him because you go

:32:59. > :33:07.into this and he ran very well at the UK Championships with James

:33:07. > :33:13.Dasaolu pulling out of the final. But he has got Justin Gatlin on his

:33:13. > :33:22.fireside and also Antoine Adams and Keston Bledman. These two men are

:33:22. > :33:26.certainly good enough to be tough for him to get in front of. It is

:33:26. > :33:36.important for him to run a good time. I think you will need to be

:33:36. > :33:50.

:33:50. > :33:54.associated with the wrong headlines at times in their career, Justin

:33:54. > :33:58.Gatlin maybe more so than Dwain Chambers, and Keston Bledman, you

:33:59. > :34:03.will be getting the headlines tomorrow as far as drugs are

:34:03. > :34:09.concerned. The bronze medallist from the World Championships two years

:34:09. > :34:13.ago, sent home after a positive test announced for another athlete. And

:34:13. > :34:18.Justin Gatlin, two bands and even though he is the best of all, the

:34:18. > :34:25.American champion and still reasonably popular among many of his

:34:25. > :34:32.compatriots. If Bolt were to trip metaphorically... You would hope

:34:32. > :34:35.metaphorically, then if Justin Gatlin were to be coming wave with

:34:35. > :34:45.the world title, I am not sure that would be the best title world

:34:45. > :35:17.

:35:17. > :35:24.athletics. Idrissa Adam of Cameroon Bledman and then Dwain Chambers. Ten

:35:24. > :35:30.flat. Impressive, in the way that Justin Gatlin can always be. The

:35:30. > :35:35.point I made earlier, if you do not have the preliminary round, they

:35:35. > :35:42.have got to come out at the firing guns, there is not too much room for

:35:42. > :35:45.being slack out of the blocks. Everybody getting a good start,

:35:46. > :35:49.particularly Keston Bledman and Chambers did well to get in the top

:35:49. > :35:59.three there. Still waiting for somebody to dip below ten seconds

:35:59. > :36:00.

:36:01. > :36:06.but that has been rounded down to 9.99 now. The head of Gatlin down

:36:06. > :36:16.and then comes a pen drives. A good run from Chambers. Keston Bledman,

:36:16. > :36:17.

:36:17. > :36:22.Gatlin and Chambers going through will -- going through. Not much

:36:22. > :36:28.easing off from any of the athlete so far. He is all power, he gets up

:36:28. > :36:34.reasonably well and then he is driving through. And he does not let

:36:34. > :36:40.up. He knows this is a tough heat, he has just run 9.99, another

:36:40. > :36:44.stadium record. The first ever sub ten second clock time anywhere in

:36:44. > :36:51.Russia, I am told so a bit of history. It would have to be an

:36:51. > :37:00.American, wouldn't it? Gatlin and Keston Bledman just a hard ahead of

:37:00. > :37:10.Dwain Chambers. Antoine Adams... Thus not just a tiny bit ahead of

:37:10. > :37:10.

:37:10. > :37:18.Dwain Chambers. There is confirmation. And when Chambers

:37:18. > :37:25.through to the next round, 10.14. good time and Dwain Chambers safely

:37:25. > :37:33.through. You got going and you are through to the next round. How was

:37:33. > :37:39.that? It is always nerve wracking in the first round. I think I will get

:37:39. > :37:44.used to it, but I don't. It gets harder and harder and the

:37:44. > :37:50.competition gets stiffer. But I am glad to have been here and I am

:37:50. > :37:57.through to the next round. semifinals tomorrow will be tough

:37:57. > :38:07.but you can call an old experience? Definitely. I wish I had youth on my

:38:07. > :38:07.

:38:07. > :38:17.side. And the Kim Collins factor, maybe? Yes, it is an fortunate he is

:38:17. > :38:22.

:38:22. > :38:27.not here so I am trying to fly the to 1999, he got a bronze there. He

:38:27. > :38:34.has had a long and in some ways troublesome career, Dwain Chambers.

:38:34. > :38:44.But that man there is, arguably, the big hope for us in the 100m, James

:38:44. > :38:46.

:38:47. > :38:52.Dasaolu. COLIN JACKSON: Yes. We saw him with that astonishing 9.91. We

:38:52. > :39:01.knew he had the potential to go under ten seconds and now he has

:39:01. > :39:10.done that. Perhaps not testing in this specific race that it is about

:39:10. > :39:20.the three races it will take. LEWIS: Yes, it is whether I can

:39:20. > :39:28.

:39:29. > :39:37.problems. This is no foregone conclusion. He is quickest on paper

:39:37. > :39:45.but there are athletes who could test him. Several are very capable.

:39:45. > :39:52.This will be no stroll. This is about converting the one-off runs

:39:52. > :39:59.into the semifinal, the final, doing it round after round. That question

:39:59. > :40:05.still remains even in this magical season he has had. There is far more

:40:05. > :40:11.to sprinting. The psychology of it as well. You have to look at someone

:40:11. > :40:21.like Asafa Powell. There was bad news but he achieved in major

:40:21. > :40:26.

:40:26. > :40:36.championships. Lots of sprinters who can run a one-off race. There is the

:40:36. > :40:36.

:40:36. > :40:46.Chinese record-holder. Also Jason Rogers. They talked about the

:40:46. > :41:04.

:41:04. > :41:14.the next three fastest qualifiers go through to tomorrow's semifinals.

:41:14. > :41:15.

:41:15. > :41:25.That is Dasaolu in lane two. Dimitrov, the talented Bulgarian, is

:41:25. > :41:28.

:41:28. > :41:38.in six. Shernyl Burns is in eight and on the outside, Jason Rogers.

:41:38. > :41:39.

:41:39. > :41:49.The fort-macro heat of the men's 100m. -- the fourth heat of the

:41:49. > :42:22.

:42:22. > :42:30.Dasaolu thinking? What was he feeling? Because if he has bot

:42:30. > :42:35.through, it is only by the skin of his teeth. It was art. He started

:42:35. > :42:42.OK, a little gingerly for me. -- it was strange. This was good,

:42:42. > :42:46.accelerating. We saw him move away at that point but then Zhang, the

:42:46. > :42:54.Chinese athlete, doing so well, moves away. And then he uses of on

:42:54. > :43:00.the line, said that is going to be very -- he eases off on the line, so

:43:00. > :43:08.that is going to be a very close photo finish. He eases hack. I think

:43:08. > :43:13.he might have lost that. He has lost the third position, I can tell you.

:43:13. > :43:19.He'd left the blocks not too bad. We know he has been having a bit of a

:43:19. > :43:24.problem with the growing region and that does not help, but in the last

:43:24. > :43:29.part of the race, he has got to do better than that. Forget fitness,

:43:29. > :43:36.you just have to run through the line. He might be all right if he is

:43:36. > :43:40.lucky. He has another couple of races to go. At the moment he is a

:43:40. > :43:48.second-fastest of the fastest losers. He is going to have to cross

:43:48. > :43:57.his fingers. He will not like that picture. He does not get the

:43:57. > :44:07.automatic qualification. He will automatic qualification. It looks

:44:07. > :44:13.like you will still get through but lesson learned? Yes. I just used the

:44:13. > :44:17.round to hopefully build on this tomorrow. Did you give a glance to

:44:17. > :44:23.the screen and think you are through? Yes, I thought I had the

:44:23. > :44:28.third spot but I will just have to wait and see. And how is your body,

:44:28. > :44:34.because I know this is your first race since that 99.1 in Birmingham?

:44:34. > :44:44.Wood-mac I have not been able to do much training. -- I have not been

:44:44. > :44:49.

:44:49. > :44:59.costly place to learn a lesson but there are three heats to go,

:44:59. > :45:07.

:45:07. > :45:14.although he is in pole position in lack of experience? I don't know.

:45:14. > :45:18.When he got to about 50m, 60m on the track, I thought maybe he was hurt.

:45:18. > :45:28.Sometimes you come out of the blocks and it takes a little while before

:45:28. > :45:28.

:45:28. > :45:35.you can identify what might be an quite smooth but then he started to

:45:35. > :45:42.go backwards. And there is a very immature attitude at the line where

:45:42. > :45:47.you are not driving for the line, you are not upright, but leaning. He

:45:47. > :45:51.does worry me a little bit. But let's hope that it is just about

:45:51. > :45:58.lack of dynamic racing. The preparation camp in Barcelona would

:45:58. > :46:04.have been about working on speed. And it is a difficult championships

:46:04. > :46:11.to come into to try things out. You need a sense of consistent work,

:46:11. > :46:15.building off the potential you have. If it is true, the two weeks has

:46:15. > :46:19.been a real struggle for him and he has not had the opportunity to run,

:46:19. > :46:25.you can see why this was difficult for him. You have to keep competing

:46:25. > :46:28.at the highest bubble and if you have missed a lot of that it will be

:46:28. > :46:36.difficult. We know that there are many athletes here who can run

:46:36. > :46:41.between that 99.5, 10.0 mark. He is really going to leave it to the luck

:46:41. > :46:44.of the gods as to which race he's going to be in. All we can say is

:46:44. > :46:54.that it will be a tough one and that restricts his possibility of getting

:46:54. > :46:57.

:46:57. > :47:02.through to the final which would be it all. He was so upright and you

:47:02. > :47:07.could see everybody else dipping for the line. The last 10m he just

:47:07. > :47:13.seemed to walk in. He said in the interview he thought he had done

:47:13. > :47:19.enough. He thought he was the third qualifier there. But you cannot do

:47:19. > :47:24.that at the World Championships. You have to keep working. Very basic

:47:24. > :47:30.rule for sprinting, you read through the line. Let's hope it does not

:47:30. > :47:35.cost him. If it is about building up through the Championship, we want to

:47:35. > :47:45.see what he has got in the semifinals. Heat five. We have

:47:45. > :47:54.

:47:54. > :48:04.another vast European in this, Jimmy good races this year. He was third

:48:04. > :48:04.

:48:04. > :48:10.in the American Championships. Brednev is the Russian champion. He

:48:10. > :48:13.had to run this morning because he had not run 10.21. That was the

:48:13. > :48:20.these standard set for these championships and anyone who had not

:48:20. > :48:26.got that had to go and read this morning. What about for Charles

:48:26. > :48:36.Silmon, the American, in lane fall. In between them we have Jermaine

:48:36. > :49:12.

:49:12. > :49:22.stadium. I am not exactly sure what the end there. He still hung on to

:49:22. > :49:27.

:49:27. > :49:35.the third spot. -- Francis. Jimmy Vicaut, fine. Francis looks hurt. I

:49:35. > :49:42.think overall, also good news perhaps for Dasaolu because I

:49:42. > :49:46.suspect number four was not quicker than him. Yes, it was very crowded

:49:46. > :49:51.behind so we will keep an eye on that. Jimmy Vicaut goes from

:49:51. > :49:58.strength to strength this season. He won the indoor championships at the

:49:58. > :50:07.start of the year. He is a very talented 100m runner. He is making

:50:07. > :50:12.forays into the 200m as well now. Francis definitely pulls up. Silmon

:50:12. > :50:18.absolutely awful, to be honest. He does not even looked like a man who

:50:18. > :50:25.runs ten seconds to me. The good news is, Rodriguez running 10.23 in

:50:25. > :50:35.fourth place. Jimmy Vicaut is still a young man but looks much older

:50:35. > :50:45.than his years. He was easing down. Jimmy Vicaut looked very comfortable

:50:45. > :50:56.

:50:56. > :51:01.indeed. He is still just 21. Better filling out, Jimmy Vicaut and joined

:51:01. > :51:07.by Aaron Brown but will Samuel Francis be fit enough to come back

:51:07. > :51:13.tomorrow? At the moment James Dasaolu is still in the quickest

:51:13. > :51:17.loser spot with two races to come. GABBY LOGAN: Things looking better

:51:18. > :51:23.for James Dasaolu, Harry AA will be looking to this and hoping he won't

:51:23. > :51:31.have to rely on that but he is in a tough heat. The baby faced assassin

:51:31. > :51:36.from Jamaica, Nickel Ashmeade is alongside him. And also Mike Rodgers

:51:36. > :51:42.as well. I remember having a word with Harry earlier this season and

:51:42. > :51:47.isn't it about time that he had a rethink about your time? And of

:51:47. > :51:50.course, he's coming into this season with this 10.08 and that has filled

:51:50. > :51:54.him with far more confidence I think you will go to this race thinking

:51:54. > :51:58.that he can qualify for this out right and I have no doubt he will do

:51:58. > :52:01.that but the Jamaicans, they can produce printers left right and

:52:02. > :52:11.centre and Nickel Ashmeade, I have seen him run on occasions and he is

:52:11. > :52:15.half decent! He will go well here! As well as individuals, we have got

:52:15. > :52:21.an eye on these guys as a relay quartet of looking at what they can

:52:21. > :52:26.do. It could be a surprise medal but we want them to be going well first

:52:26. > :52:29.of all as individuals in the 100 metres. Absolutely and we have been

:52:29. > :52:32.critical in the past that our athletes are probably running for

:52:32. > :52:38.the relay spot when we want them to be out and out quality in the

:52:38. > :52:43.individual places that they enter. Harry has had a difficult couple of

:52:43. > :52:47.years with fitness and getting quite the style that we would want to see

:52:47. > :52:55.him but finally, a new personal best, 10.08, he is feeling confident

:52:55. > :53:00.and looking good. There is Usain Bolt, he is entering the arena, the

:53:00. > :53:03.final heat is his, quite literally, when you look at the line-up, I

:53:03. > :53:11.can't see anything else going on but all eyes will be an Usain Bolt for

:53:11. > :53:14.that one. The cameras are out, the fans are waving and he is lapping up

:53:14. > :53:19.his first race of these championships but let's go back to

:53:19. > :53:25.heat six would-be commentators, British eyes on Harry AA. Yes, Usain

:53:25. > :53:33.Bolt to come in the next heat but as well as the enormous Visigoth Harry

:53:33. > :53:39.Aikines Aryeetey, with someone like the Jamaican alongside him -- as

:53:39. > :53:46.well as the enormous physique of Harry Aikines Aryeetey. We were

:53:46. > :53:50.talking about the young promise of the Japanese athlete he was running

:53:50. > :53:56.against. He has lowered his personal best for the first time in five

:53:56. > :54:01.years this year, Harry. Finally making progress. He has been

:54:01. > :54:04.hampered by hamstring injuries over the intervening years. Up against it

:54:04. > :54:09.here, no doubt about that because only three go through and then the

:54:09. > :54:13.next three fastest to the semifinals, a reminder that James

:54:13. > :54:23.Dasaolu after his strange finish to his heat is in pole position for one

:54:23. > :54:28.

:54:28. > :54:37.of those places and just this heat activity off to my left in the

:54:37. > :54:41.dignitaries' box. I think that the headman himself, Vladimir Putin, his

:54:41. > :54:49.arrival is imminent. The opening ceremony taken place after the

:54:49. > :54:54.events tonight but the line-up here, Nesta Carter in the third... Sorry,

:54:54. > :55:04.I am looking at the wrong line-up. Getting carried away with myself. I

:55:04. > :55:15.

:55:15. > :55:22.qualifying this morning, he is in lane number seven. Ogho-Oghene

:55:22. > :55:32.Egwero in the final line. Nickel Ashmeade and Mike Rodgers, the men

:55:32. > :55:33.

:55:33. > :55:41.to beat here. Bingtian Su the China athlete, my tussling to offer in

:55:41. > :55:51.lane three. -- might have something to offer. Settling into the blocks

:55:51. > :55:58.

:55:58. > :56:01.for the sixth heat of the men's 100 Mike Rodgers coming through

:56:02. > :56:11.strongly. The American will take it from Nickel Ashmeade and he comes

:56:12. > :56:12.

:56:12. > :56:16.Moukheld Al-Outaibi, -- here comes Aikines-Aryeetey. Getting quicker

:56:16. > :56:21.and quicker as we go along but a fairly strong finish from Mike

:56:21. > :56:26.Rodgers. The man who finished fourth in the US trials but after a fall of

:56:27. > :56:35.Tyson Gay, was promoted. Harry Aikines Aryeetey, he might have been

:56:35. > :56:37.fourth place, but we shall see. A quick race. Tight for all sorts of

:56:37. > :56:42.reasons. James Dasaolu will be watching this as well, impressive

:56:42. > :56:50.from Mike Rodgers. I think Harry might have got there. It will be

:56:50. > :56:55.tight because the clock but we're watching for, Harry finishes

:56:55. > :57:00.strongly. He is looking across. The pink body-line, close, favouring

:57:00. > :57:07.this side, you would save he got there in the end but it is being

:57:07. > :57:14.looked at by the... It has been given, the same time for the two of

:57:14. > :57:24.them puts James Dasaolu is now the third fastest loser after the finish

:57:24. > :57:29.

:57:29. > :57:36.from Beantown soon. -- from Bingtian impressive, I am not sure there is

:57:36. > :57:41.much more to come through from him but Harry is three. It was not quite

:57:41. > :57:50.in the style of James Dasaolu, the finish but Harry gets it in the

:57:50. > :57:59.finest of margins. Confirmation of 10.16 from Bingtian Su. Let's hear

:57:59. > :58:04.The dip at the end there, the upper body work-out got you through.

:58:04. > :58:12.happy, I am grateful and obviously it is a bit of relief to get through

:58:12. > :58:17.the round and it should blow out the cobwebs. It's a great stadium, it is

:58:17. > :58:24.I have got to get ready for the next round and bring more fire. Special

:58:25. > :58:28.memories for United fans, tell me about... Dwayne has talked about his

:58:28. > :58:32.experience but you have come on in the last year and made the team, how

:58:33. > :58:36.was it for you? It is awesome, it killed me not making the team last

:58:36. > :58:40.year, and the season I had, but I have to be thankful for the double

:58:40. > :58:45.people who are around me. A new coach this year and to see the

:58:45. > :58:48.improvements I have had, I am back in the mix and if I can put together

:58:48. > :58:52.a decent race... That was a bit tentative, I did not want a bit

:58:52. > :58:56.tentative, I did not want. But I have got to give it my all tomorrow

:58:56. > :59:01.but I am just excited. May be a new personal best tomorrow? Yes, I have

:59:01. > :59:07.got to beat some of these guys and I want to set personal bests but I

:59:07. > :59:10.have to keep improving. Collider say one thing? It is my sister's

:59:10. > :59:14.traditional engagement today so sorry I can't make it, I love you

:59:14. > :59:19.loads, I hope you have a nice day. Thank you.

:59:19. > :59:25.GABBY LOGAN: Lovely message, Harry! We will discuss Harry's dancing

:59:25. > :59:30.pectorals later on. What a fantastic upper body! Let's move on because

:59:30. > :59:35.Usain Bolt is out and about and that is why all the photographers -

:59:35. > :59:41.literally every photographer had gone to one side of the stadium. It

:59:41. > :59:45.is only the heats, guys! Why not have it three times over? The

:59:45. > :59:49.anniversary games, it was the same. We just marvel at that moment before

:59:49. > :59:55.the gun goes, the stadium just erupts in light. Everybody wants

:59:55. > :00:00.that shot of Usain driving out, walking in, smiling, whatever he is

:00:00. > :00:06.doing, he is the man of the moment. The man of our times of track and

:00:06. > :00:10.field and we adore him. We like him here. He is a big global sporting

:00:10. > :00:14.superstar. An icon and that is what makes him the interest and we are

:00:14. > :00:20.lucky that we have him in our sport because he brings some positive

:00:20. > :00:25.attention to our sport. Absolutely, and he also has something in the

:00:25. > :00:31.back of his mind, things did not go so well back in Daegu, the dramatic

:00:31. > :00:34.false start. He has won Olympic gold since then several times over but it

:00:34. > :00:39.must be a reminder in the back of his head that he is not the

:00:39. > :00:45.defending world champion. Perhaps. He will want that title. He deserves

:00:45. > :00:48.that title but he is here to entertain and when, let's see what

:00:48. > :00:58.he can do. I don't think the competition will trouble him too

:00:58. > :01:01.much but we will enjoy watching it, COMMENTATOR: His main opposition is

:01:02. > :01:11.the starter, let's not forget two years ago. I am sure he has not

:01:12. > :01:15.

:01:15. > :01:18.come from? It is very loud. Incidentally, we will be having the

:01:18. > :01:27.ceremony for the 10,000 metres with Mo Farah getting his medal and then

:01:27. > :01:30.the opening ceremony of the games follows that, bizarrely enough. I

:01:30. > :01:33.wonder if Usain Bolt will hang around because once he gets this

:01:33. > :01:42.race done, he will do some interviews and then will be thinking

:01:42. > :01:47.of tomorrow, I am pretty sure. He is the star of the show, of course and

:01:47. > :01:51.Kemar Hyman from the Cayman Islands next to him. He will have to

:01:51. > :02:01.concentrate, all the athletes will. Some youngsters will be finding this

:02:01. > :02:28.

:02:28. > :02:38.and in the three fastest loser spot, the third spot at the moment

:02:38. > :02:42.held by them James Dasaolu, 10.207 as long as the slowest athlete long

:02:42. > :02:52.as long as he is not beaten, he will go through. A huge amount of noise

:02:52. > :03:01.

:03:01. > :03:10.to Bob. I said he looked nervous. Don't worry, it was not bolt -- next

:03:10. > :03:18.to Usain Bolt. People will be going, what, what? But it was Kemar Hyman,

:03:18. > :03:27.wasn't it? Steve, he would be a challenger if he is to be spells, he

:03:27. > :03:34.would have been a challenger to the fastest man. We are looking out to

:03:34. > :03:40.James Dasaolu but possibly the second quickest in this race was

:03:40. > :03:43.Kemar Hyman. From a British perspective, with him leaving, he is

:03:43. > :03:48.not even waiting to receive the card, you are not supposed to, but

:03:48. > :03:57.if you know you have been having a false start, he has walked. He has

:03:57. > :04:01.not waited for the umpire's finger. The way he goes. It has made Usain

:04:01. > :04:05.Bolt's job easier but I think it would be comfortable enough anyway.

:04:05. > :04:10.As far as British interests are concerned, Kemar Hyman being

:04:11. > :04:20.disqualified for the false start gives an extra chance for James

:04:21. > :04:23.

:04:23. > :04:32.Dasaolu as one of the quickest bolt at the start line, a raise of

:04:32. > :04:37.the eyebrows, not much more. So Rondel Sorrillo and then we have got

:04:37. > :04:47.rimming Gittings, Hua Wilfried Koffi, Ryota Yamagata and Anaso

:04:47. > :05:00.

:05:00. > :05:05.metres. Verse three to go through. -- first three. Safely away this

:05:05. > :05:08.time, not the best start from that macro bolt. Stepping through the

:05:08. > :05:15.gears now because he eases into the first, it will be tied for second

:05:15. > :05:25.place, Jobodwana certainly getting there. So the top three will have to

:05:25. > :05:30.be sorted out and they gave him an easy heap... I say that, obviously

:05:31. > :05:36.it is drawn. But it was a fairly easy, comfortable heat and he had

:05:36. > :05:46.did what he had to do, no more. After what happened to Kemar Hyman

:05:46. > :05:49.

:05:49. > :05:59.and what happened to himself two years ago. I think James Dasaolu...

:05:59. > :05:59.

:06:00. > :06:05.It will be close. Very close. Andrew and I are just looking at the

:06:05. > :06:11.computer. You look at Bolt and I will let the guys analyse that. Not

:06:11. > :06:21.sure there is a lot to analyse. He just did what he had to do. There

:06:21. > :06:25.

:06:25. > :06:35.were times of 10.07... And the times mean that James Dasaolu will go

:06:35. > :06:41.

:06:41. > :06:49.through as the fastest loser by here running. Just to be out here.

:06:49. > :06:56.When the full is done -- when the false start gun went off, did your

:06:56. > :07:06.heart skip a beat? Rae no. B final tomorrow. Are you confident you will

:07:06. > :07:12.

:07:12. > :07:22.take care of Disney's? It was early end. -- are you confident you will

:07:22. > :07:30.

:07:30. > :07:35.take care of business? It was He did not even get a record on

:07:35. > :07:45.Russian soil. A pretty poor performance. Rodgers will take out

:07:45. > :07:45.

:07:45. > :07:55.home. So... Gittens may be surprisingly getting in there with

:07:55. > :07:58.

:07:58. > :08:02.10.19. The Japanese sprinter just missing out with 10.21. The British

:08:02. > :08:10.sprinter James Dasaolu will be in the 100m final tomorrow. Just to

:08:10. > :08:15.underline that ointment by Hyman, had he not been disqualified,

:08:16. > :08:22.Dasaolu is likely not to have made it through. But as it is he

:08:23. > :08:32.qualifies. Bailey Cole will join Bolt and Carter for the Jamaican

:08:33. > :08:35.

:08:35. > :08:45.team. The three fastest qualifiers will include James Dasaolu with that

:08:45. > :08:52.

:08:52. > :08:57.10.20. I am sure he will not do that three of our 100m sprinters are

:08:57. > :09:04.safely through but it was a little nervy their! You made that point

:09:04. > :09:10.about Hyman, that it was likely he would have been one of the fastest.

:09:10. > :09:20.Yes. But this is what the Championships is about. You have a

:09:20. > :09:23.

:09:23. > :09:28.world next to you so you can imagine he is a little bit edgy. And you

:09:28. > :09:36.cannot afford to be edgy. The noise behind as signals the second medals

:09:36. > :09:41.ceremony of the date and it is one that we want to take in, Mo Farah's

:09:41. > :09:47.10,000m victory. COMMENTATOR: He is getting used to

:09:47. > :09:53.this now. It does not make it any less sweet a moment. Medals

:09:53. > :10:03.ceremonies are what athletes crave for, the reason they want to get

:10:03. > :10:07.

:10:07. > :10:12.involved, they want to get an opening ceremony will stop I am sure

:10:12. > :10:22.somebody -- for the opening ceremony. I am sure somebody will

:10:22. > :10:26.

:10:26. > :10:35.whisper in his ear, by the way, Mo delighted that this band got on to

:10:35. > :10:44.the rostrum. They came here... -- I am sure the Kenyan 's will be

:10:44. > :10:51.delighted that this man got on to the rostrum. It has been an

:10:51. > :11:01.Ethiopian -owned title for so long. Not any more, though. This man was

:11:01. > :11:05.the 10,000m champion last time. Ibrahim Jeilan. He defended lately.

:11:05. > :11:10.He did not look into much good form at the beginning of this season that

:11:11. > :11:14.this was his best race of the year. He saved his best for last. Just for

:11:14. > :11:23.a moment as they came into the home straight, we thought, here we go

:11:23. > :11:29.again. Whereas two years ago he was able to run down Mo Farah. Farah is

:11:29. > :11:34.a different athlete now, a double Olympic champion. Now the world

:11:34. > :11:41.champion at 10,000m as well as the Olympic champion.

:11:41. > :11:46.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE There were moments in that last 200m

:11:46. > :11:52.when you just thought, maybe it is not going to happen.

:11:52. > :11:57.And then that familiar charge came and that familiar grimace, really.

:11:57. > :12:04.We did not get the Mobot. There was not time for that. As he said in his

:12:04. > :12:14.interview, he had to run right to the line. Mo Farah's fourth global

:12:14. > :12:14.

:12:14. > :13:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds

:13:00. > :13:09.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Finally a smile, and applause from

:13:09. > :13:12.some very important people. Mo Farah is the most important person here

:13:12. > :13:19.certainly as far as British athletics is concerned. They said

:13:19. > :13:29.they wanted to get the team off to a good start. It is not his

:13:29. > :13:36.

:13:36. > :13:46.responsibility to look after them world. We have had to wait a while

:13:46. > :13:52.

:13:52. > :14:00.keeps doing this, it won't be long before he comes to be one of the

:14:00. > :14:05.all-time greats of distance running. He is doing pretty well so far.

:14:05. > :14:08.GABBY LOGAN: We should never, ever taking for granted. He is now

:14:09. > :14:12.beginning to make success look easy but anyone who knows anything about

:14:12. > :14:17.how hard the trains knows that this year, even more than last year, he

:14:17. > :14:24.has pushed himself to the limits and this is just the first half of what

:14:24. > :14:33.he hopes will be a double gold medal haul here in Moscow. This will taste

:14:33. > :14:42.sweet after Jeilan there, the man with the silver, managed to

:14:43. > :14:48.outsprint him. Mo is enjoying the moment. His family are here. They

:14:48. > :14:54.are enjoying it, too. The time spent away all feels pretty good night

:14:54. > :14:59.without gold medal. There is his wife in the stand. More nerves to

:14:59. > :15:05.expend in the week as the 5k approaches as well. I am not sure if

:15:05. > :15:10.you saw the people behind Mo setting up. There will be an opening

:15:11. > :15:16.ceremony. There is his little girl, who has come on to enjoy the moment

:15:16. > :15:24.as well. She has probably been asking for a year, why didn't I get

:15:24. > :15:27.in on the action. Paula has rejoined us here in the studio. She has the

:15:28. > :15:33.medal around her neck as well. If you were out earlier on and you

:15:33. > :15:43.missed Mo iss magical 10k moment, here are the last three laps for

:15:43. > :15:49.

:15:49. > :15:57.then Merga not too far away. And Mo Farah where he wants to be,

:15:57. > :16:03.controlling it. He is the boss. boss has to control it now. He has

:16:03. > :16:09.to hold his position. His confidence must be sky-high. They have not

:16:09. > :16:16.really tested him, and that was only a 66 second lap so really he not

:16:17. > :16:23.hurting at all. As they go onto the back straight, Mo Farah begins to

:16:23. > :16:30.control this race like the champion we know he is. Muchiri is a bit of a

:16:30. > :16:37.challenge. Rupp, his team mate, is a bit of a challenge. Ritzenhein takes

:16:37. > :16:42.over, to newly follows him. And Mo, you have got to be a little careful

:16:42. > :16:48.here. You need to be just a bit tighter on those athletes because we

:16:48. > :16:56.are now getting into an area where the sprinters can take over, and Mo

:16:56. > :17:04.is a sprinter. Now he has 800m to go. Rupp and Mo Farah, the training

:17:04. > :17:11.partners, strike out. Mo can win it from here. Two to go. Where he wants

:17:11. > :17:15.to be, in the front. He has Rupp there but he is not on his

:17:15. > :17:22.shoulder. He was meant to be on his shoulder to protect him that he

:17:22. > :17:29.cannot do it. Jeilan, the defending champion, is there. Mo Farah is

:17:29. > :17:34.looking for Rupp on his training partner, his friend, he wants him on

:17:34. > :17:38.his shoulder. And he has him there with 600m to go. He has to

:17:38. > :17:48.concentrate on his own running now. He has been joined right his

:17:48. > :17:49.

:17:49. > :17:55.training partner Galen Rupp but Mo Farah... Tanui on the inside. Mo has

:17:55. > :18:01.got to be aware of it. He is in the position. We have seen you do it all

:18:01. > :18:11.year. We have seen you sprint on the last lap. Now let's see you do it.

:18:11. > :18:18.The bell sounds. 26: 27. He has to grab this challenge. He is fast

:18:18. > :18:25.enough, he is strong enough. He has two more opportunities down the back

:18:25. > :18:30.straight, on the top end. Tanui with him. Now, Mo Farah, let's show us

:18:30. > :18:35.the speed you have shown us all season. And here comes Jeilan, the

:18:35. > :18:45.defending champion. Jeilan, who won it last time, who hit him on the

:18:45. > :18:58.

:18:58. > :19:05.home straight. The threat has not Farah. He is the world champion.

:19:05. > :19:11.Gold once more. It was hard, it was tough. It was meant to be easy and

:19:11. > :19:18.it wasn't stopped it was meant to be a smooth last lap when he turned on

:19:18. > :19:28.the burners and he did it but they were all still there. Mo Farah. His

:19:28. > :19:34.

:19:34. > :19:38.third global gold medal. He has done the Bolt in the 10,000m. A moment

:19:38. > :19:46.that Paula Radcliffe, who has rejoined us, absolutely savoured.

:19:46. > :19:52.And I am sure that you also enjoyed it, as a sprinter. Yes. Mo is

:19:53. > :19:59.cementing his legacy by continuing to win titles. Now he needs to

:19:59. > :20:04.motivate himself and said other golds do great things. He's awesome.

:20:04. > :20:09.Yes, there was certainly no post Olympic slump for him. Setting

:20:09. > :20:13.himself new goals. It is really to be admired as we discussed it

:20:13. > :20:16.earlier on, how hard those post Olympic years can be anyway. But

:20:16. > :20:25.when you have that burden of being a double champion, how you use it

:20:25. > :20:30.determines your greatness. Yes, and it depends. You can go on a roll

:20:30. > :20:35.with the increased confidence and really performed the next year. You

:20:35. > :20:40.can come in a little bit fatigued. That is what we have seen with Jess.

:20:40. > :20:42.And the other side of it is someone who has not performed in the

:20:42. > :20:48.Olympics and then has come back with a vengeance because they have

:20:48. > :20:54.something to prove the next year. Mo has come back in better shape as he

:20:54. > :20:59.has trained through the winter. And he believes he can get in better

:20:59. > :21:02.shape. The others are scared of him. The noise, if you are hearing it, is

:21:02. > :21:09.the beginning of the opening ceremony. President Putin arrived

:21:09. > :21:15.just before the medal ceremony. He has arrived in time because he is

:21:15. > :21:20.particularly interested in the opening ceremony. Nothing much going

:21:20. > :21:26.on at the moment, certainly no Danny Boyle -style party. Not much more

:21:26. > :21:36.unbacked to tell you. Can we talk briefly about the 5k? What you saw

:21:36. > :21:39.

:21:39. > :21:45.today, where does that fit in the market is he the favourite? He is

:21:45. > :21:53.definitely the favourite going into it. He wanted to tackle the 10k, the

:21:53. > :21:56.one he did not get before. His last laps were 60 and 54. It takes a lot

:21:56. > :22:00.out of you, especially with the humid conditions and the pushing and

:22:00. > :22:06.shoving in the race, but he got been sold he wanted. That is a big plus,

:22:06. > :22:10.two, because he got what he wanted. He will have done all of the

:22:10. > :22:17.recovery things that he wanted to do. I think he will bounce back OK

:22:17. > :22:21.but he will be feeling the recovery job tomorrow. Let's move it on and

:22:21. > :22:31.talk about sprinting. As you are here, we will make use off your pass

:22:31. > :22:36.

:22:36. > :22:46.butties. First of all, Mr Usain Bolt. Mr Bolt is Mr Bolt. You looked

:22:46. > :22:48.

:22:48. > :22:54.great. I thought he would just get where it was really going to test

:22:54. > :23:03.him. -- his opponents. You really prepared to be on this stage,

:23:03. > :23:07.suddenly at the Anniversary Games. It is obvious in the first race that

:23:07. > :23:16.I see that he went back, did a little tinkering with this bid and I

:23:16. > :23:26.think he is OK. -- the speed. a nervy moment when the. Gun went

:23:26. > :23:28.

:23:28. > :23:33.off. -- the full is start gun went off. I think he learned his lesson.

:23:33. > :23:39.He is the number-1 sprinter the world. Some of the sprinters out

:23:39. > :23:46.there on your fans, really. The sprinter from the Cayman Islands, I

:23:46. > :23:54.think he realised, this guy beside me I am not close to him. He was

:23:54. > :23:58.just trying to get a flyer and he didn't. A lot of those guys will

:23:59. > :24:04.never get the chance to race in the Diamond League or in the final so

:24:04. > :24:08.your funds are around you, as your competitors. Donovan has experienced

:24:08. > :24:12.it himself, some of the guys around you are trying to do the strides

:24:12. > :24:20.next to you so that the they can say they are on the track next to him

:24:20. > :24:26.which is funny but you feel proud that you are being able to be have

:24:26. > :24:31.fun out there. Justin Gatlin has looked like he could put the

:24:31. > :24:40.pressure on Bolt, what did you see from him that you thought he was in

:24:40. > :24:44.that sort of shape? He has been consistent. He has been on the stage

:24:44. > :24:50.before, he has been Olympic champion, but I was quite surprised

:24:50. > :24:54.because he ran very hard. I did not expect him to get out and

:24:54. > :25:00.essentially be labouring for about 70 metres but I think he is trying

:25:00. > :25:05.to get the kinks out. This is his first heat of the championships and

:25:05. > :25:10.he wants to be as loose as possible as the rounds go on. The man that

:25:10. > :25:17.most impressed me in this entire composition is Jimmy Vicaut who is

:25:17. > :25:23.big, strong and from the top speed perspective, one of the fastest guys

:25:23. > :25:30.running now. And he only dipped under ten seconds this year so he is

:25:30. > :25:35.in the ascent. Absolutely. This is a time and I have sent it to lots of

:25:35. > :25:43.the younger kids competing, this is a place where you can establish it.

:25:43. > :25:48.These men become men. Bolt is the reigning champion and it will not be

:25:48. > :25:56.a surprise to us if he gets a time but there are two other medals and

:25:56. > :25:59.it is important to utilise this very tiny window. There it is a very tiny

:25:59. > :26:08.window of opportunity and they really have to take advantage of

:26:08. > :26:14.this today. One of those people, we were hoping it might be James

:26:14. > :26:17.Dasaolu, at the moment where he ran 9.91, we thought this might be his

:26:17. > :26:22.time. Disappointing the way he ran today. What did you make of the way

:26:22. > :26:32.he finished? First of all, James is an extremely talented athlete.

:26:32. > :26:32.

:26:32. > :26:37.Extremely talented. He is not Ray Sharp at all. He made some terrible

:26:37. > :26:47.technical mistakes coming out of the block and you can see that...

:26:47. > :26:55.Looking at the finish -- he is not race sharp. He cannot look at the TV

:26:55. > :26:59.or the clock but there is an absolute sign of rust from him. Not

:26:59. > :27:07.competing at the British Championships. And look because of

:27:07. > :27:11.the false start from Hyman, that effectively sees him jumping into

:27:11. > :27:15.those fastest loser spots and he has the chance to go again. Sometimes

:27:15. > :27:18.you need a bit of luck in athletics and that was his. Let's hope he

:27:18. > :27:22.doesn't have to draw on it in the next round but I have to say,

:27:22. > :27:26.talking about technique and the rustiness, there was an overhead

:27:26. > :27:29.shot used earlier on looking at James and he seemed to move from

:27:29. > :27:39.left to right all the way down the track which seems a bit

:27:39. > :27:44.disconcerting for me. That is what I am saying, he did not compete at

:27:44. > :27:51.that sort of level but essentially that is race experience because

:27:51. > :27:56.understanding your game and getting your transition, understanding how

:27:56. > :28:01.to get into that out of the blocks. I don't know what speed he was at

:28:01. > :28:07.and I don't want to criticise... are having trouble with your

:28:07. > :28:10.microphone, sorry. Sit still! I can be very bossy sometimes! We want to

:28:10. > :28:20.hear what you are saying because it is important so apologies if you

:28:20. > :28:30.heard that disruption. It is race rust, definitely. I don't know

:28:30. > :28:30.

:28:30. > :28:36.exactly what speed he did but he is still very rusty over the first few

:28:36. > :28:41.metres. With James, he has to set up getting out of the blocks, he is

:28:41. > :28:47.that talented. We will use that for now. We will move onto Christine

:28:47. > :28:53.Ohuruogu. We saw some real talent across the heat and Christine's

:28:53. > :28:58.race, Colin, she did what she had to do and looked very comfortable.

:28:58. > :29:05.will take you on a journey, going on a journey all the time through these

:29:05. > :29:09.championships but in 2006, the, mild games in Melbourne when Darling was

:29:09. > :29:14.the athlete everybody was focusing on, nobody was paying attention to

:29:14. > :29:18.Christine and that is the first time she announced to the world -- the

:29:18. > :29:21.Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. Since then she has been progressing

:29:21. > :29:26.and getting more and more confident at these major games and today,

:29:26. > :29:32.again she ran a very, very conservative first 300 metres as we

:29:32. > :29:40.can expect from Christine and then decided to raise the tempo. It was

:29:40. > :29:46.their big acceleration already drive, it was just an increase in

:29:46. > :29:50.tempo -- it was a big acceleration in drive. I was not expecting to run

:29:50. > :29:56.so quickly so early in these championships and it is wonderful to

:29:56. > :30:01.see. I am really positive that she is going under the 50 second mark

:30:01. > :30:05.when it matters. Where that will take her, who knows? But she is

:30:05. > :30:13.going close to her personal best. If not better. The semifinal tomorrow,

:30:14. > :30:18.for her, Denise? Yes, she made that look so effortless, it is clear she

:30:18. > :30:22.is in the right headspace. She knows she is able to win these

:30:23. > :30:27.championships and he is able to win it but she has a couple of athletes

:30:27. > :30:33.to navigate first so let's see what she does. What is that then,

:30:33. > :30:37.Denise? It looks like a shot put! What is your interpretation of what

:30:37. > :30:42.is going on out there? It is the opening ceremony which they have had

:30:42. > :30:46.at the end of the first day here. There is a great mat which looks

:30:46. > :30:52.like some sort of gymnastics or tumbling might break out on that. A

:30:52. > :30:58.plastic... There is a man. I am no Huw Edwards, am I? There is a

:30:58. > :31:04.plastic spaceship which is above that and the answer to Rowan

:31:04. > :31:11.Atkinson, this is a rip-off, this whole ceremony is a rip-off! I will

:31:11. > :31:16.make my excuses and say was never briefed to read the commentary! But

:31:16. > :31:20.I do do a very good impression of Huw Edwards! Shara Proctor is coming

:31:20. > :31:25.into this with good form and she had a good opportunity, one jump and she

:31:25. > :31:31.did it in first place. Very consistent this year, she has jumped

:31:31. > :31:34.amazingly well. And again, Paula talked about how athletes progress

:31:34. > :31:38.when it has not gone the way you have planned and this is one athlete

:31:38. > :31:44.recovering well from that. She came into this qualification, first jump,

:31:44. > :31:50.clearly over that qualification mark of 6.75 and job done. And we are

:31:51. > :31:55.looking forward to her delivering on her abilities. She has broken the

:31:55. > :32:04.British record, we know she can jump seven metres. Look how far she was

:32:04. > :32:09.from the board. I did long jump in high school, little-known fact! This

:32:09. > :32:15.is someone on a vengeance right now because like Denise said, lots was

:32:15. > :32:19.expected of her in London and that is the motivation after the Olympic

:32:19. > :32:22.Games. And we have someone now who really wants it. We talk about

:32:23. > :32:27.surprise medals and where they might come from, would it be a surprise if

:32:27. > :32:31.she brought one home? Not a huge surprise because she definitely has

:32:31. > :32:37.the ability. It is putting it together with the quality of the

:32:37. > :32:42.other athletes she is up against. You have got Okagbare, she is a

:32:42. > :32:47.seven-metre jumper but also Brittney Reese and she is looking fragile.

:32:47. > :32:56.She was the 12 qualifier in that long jump and this is a girl who has

:32:56. > :33:00.jumped 7.25. They are heavily relying on their space programme.

:33:00. > :33:07.That is my educated guess. Anything else to add, Donovan? What can I

:33:07. > :33:10.say? No! There seems to be a big cannonball, I thought it was a shock

:33:10. > :33:16.but they were dropping from the season but I guess we can enjoy it

:33:16. > :33:20.with a smile. I hope Mr Putin will be enjoying this. He will be here

:33:20. > :33:25.for a while longer. We'll put some highlights on the red button. If

:33:25. > :33:29.there is enough demand! Tomorrow's programme, we are looking forward to

:33:29. > :33:38.Christine and we have got the 100 metres final which will be a real

:33:38. > :33:45.highlight of the whole week. Firstly, my guess, my educated
