Day 2, Part 2

:01:47. > :01:53.be here for the start of the men's 100m. The biggest name, Usain Bolt,

:01:53. > :02:03.is looking to add another gold. It promises to be another historic

:02:03. > :02:13.

:02:13. > :02:23.night in Moscow. There were already her world title in style. Slipping

:02:23. > :02:24.

:02:24. > :02:34.through the gears now... -- defends. Christine Ohuruogu. Very impressive

:02:34. > :02:39.

:02:39. > :02:45.indeed. World domination for Mo looks over the River Moscow. You saw

:02:45. > :02:51.it plenty yesterday in the women's marathon. Hot again today in Moscow.

:02:51. > :02:55.Many people leave in August to avoid the steamy heat. We are hoping there

:02:55. > :03:03.are still plenty here who fancy witnessing the fastest man on the

:03:03. > :03:08.planet rent here twice in the Luzhniki Stadium tonight. Denise

:03:08. > :03:12.Lewis and Colin Jackson are back for more. That is just the icing on the

:03:12. > :03:17.cake, isn't it? First we should have a look back at this morning. There

:03:17. > :03:23.were some good Jewish performances and some really credible times for

:03:23. > :03:29.the rest of the world as well. Let's talk about Will Sharma. I note

:03:29. > :03:37.before the championships you thought maybe he is a sneaky one. If you

:03:37. > :03:45.look at the hit smack -- heats this morning you might think they were a

:03:45. > :03:52.bit sluggish but for me, he looked crisp and I think he might surprise

:03:52. > :03:58.people. Think about Andy Turner, who managed to sneak a world bronze a

:03:58. > :04:04.couple of years ago. It has been decimated for Great Britain. Yes.

:04:04. > :04:10.But most of them are injured at this moment. He ran a reasonable race

:04:10. > :04:16.here. It was about qualification here. You want to try out the track

:04:16. > :04:26.to see if it is bouncier than before... It was a good performance

:04:26. > :04:27.

:04:27. > :04:34.from Wales. And Asha Philip had the back story of a terrible injury and

:04:34. > :04:43.three years out of the sport. To what she had to do. She had a

:04:43. > :04:52.cracking start and kept running to the line. She had a nice time as a

:04:52. > :04:56.reward. It was important for her to really start well and she did. She

:04:56. > :05:01.had to establish herself in the race and she did. She maintained that

:05:01. > :05:08.relaxation and her form and it was about making sure she got through to

:05:08. > :05:14.the next round. She ran brilliantly. We have never had a woman in the

:05:14. > :05:20.finals of a World Championship 100m. Is this the year? Could she make it

:05:20. > :05:24.through? It is going to be very tough. You have a whole host of

:05:24. > :05:28.Americans. The Jamaicans are still strong. She will have two perform

:05:28. > :05:34.out of her skin. She will have to get a personal best to make it. But

:05:34. > :05:40.I do not like to discourage athletes and their potential but it would be

:05:40. > :05:45.a big ask. Hannah England did what she had to do today. She knows what

:05:45. > :05:50.it is all about. She made it through well. I think there was some anxiety

:05:50. > :05:55.about the stage of the race because we were not sure if she would go

:05:55. > :05:59.fast enough, get all the way around them. But she is an experienced

:05:59. > :06:02.athlete, very confident in her sprint finish, which she

:06:02. > :06:07.demonstrates here. She literally glided past the field and put

:06:07. > :06:13.herself in the qualifying was issued straightaway. She is a silver

:06:13. > :06:16.medallist here, though. She has been here before. Sadly, Laura Weightman

:06:16. > :06:23.did not make it through. She has been suffering with injuries and

:06:23. > :06:29.asthma. She did not make it through this morning. Just before we came on

:06:29. > :06:35.air it was the men's 20k walk and Russia has its first champion Tom

:06:35. > :06:44.Alexander Ivanov, crossing the line here. -- its first champion,

:06:44. > :06:49.Alexander Ivanov. The capacity has been reduced here from 70,000 to

:06:49. > :06:56.50,000. It looks like a fume or might have come out tonight. They

:06:56. > :07:06.have seen that first Russian medal, the gold. Hopefully they are in for

:07:06. > :07:07.

:07:07. > :07:17.a good night. Let's tell you how the night is going to pan out. What

:07:17. > :07:21.

:07:21. > :07:30.chance more British gold in the chance more British gold in the

:07:30. > :07:38.women's long jump to -- long jump? It is the women's 400m semifinals.

:07:38. > :07:43.Andrew Osagie and Michael Rimmer go in the 800m semifinals tonight. Both

:07:43. > :07:50.look good so far in a wide-open race.

:07:50. > :07:54.And after Mo last night another long-distance superstar, the

:07:54. > :08:00.Ethiopian female athlete has never been beaten in a 10,000m race.

:08:00. > :08:10.And tonight is the night for the world's fastest men, but can anyone

:08:10. > :08:19.

:08:19. > :08:25.but long jump final featuring Shara Proctor and Brittney Reese.

:08:25. > :08:31.Our boys and Bolt in the men's 100m semifinals.

:08:31. > :08:37.And Yelena Isinbayeva is a favourite in the women's pole vault.

:08:37. > :08:44.Osagie and Rimmer we have in the men's 800m semifinals.

:08:44. > :08:54.And Christine goes in the women's 400m semifinals. Amantle Montsho is

:08:54. > :08:55.

:08:55. > :09:00.her main rival. And then whatever you are doing at

:09:00. > :09:10.6:50pm, get yourself a couple of tea, -- cup of tea and watch the

:09:10. > :09:16.

:09:16. > :09:21.after the night before? Spend it with Brendan Foster, of course.

:09:21. > :09:30.might be favourite but that may make it harder because you feel the

:09:30. > :09:36.pressure. You were extremely nervous yesterday. In the first couple of

:09:36. > :09:42.laps you were at the back. I start off at the back, work my way through

:09:42. > :09:46.and get closer to the guys when there is six kilometres to go, five

:09:46. > :09:52.kilometres to go. Sometimes when it is hot you just need to gradually

:09:52. > :09:59.work your way through. I thought the Ethiopian guys would have taken the

:09:59. > :10:04.race a lot faster. They worked together and closed the gap towards

:10:04. > :10:12.the end. When it comes to four or five laps to go it is every man for

:10:12. > :10:16.himself. I did not want to work hard at them I needed to do because I

:10:16. > :10:24.wanted to get ready for the 5k as well.

:10:24. > :10:34.COMMENTATOR: He is his wing man, his lieutenant.

:10:34. > :10:35.

:10:35. > :10:41.It is now every man for himself. With 500m to go, Jeilan was making a

:10:41. > :10:47.move and coming in on the outside. I was thinking, stay in front. With a

:10:47. > :10:54.lap, I was still seeing him behind. I thought, go hard at it but make

:10:54. > :11:01.sure you have something left. I did not want to make a mistake again.

:11:01. > :11:05.That memory came back to me. He is there. I look at him and he's

:11:05. > :11:15.coming, but I was stronger and had more experience so I was able to

:11:15. > :11:20.just push and push and push. COMMENTATOR: Jeilan comes again!

:11:20. > :11:30.He is definitely not coming past me. I was like, no, I have waited two

:11:30. > :11:32.

:11:32. > :11:38.years for this. It was great last night. What have we got to look

:11:38. > :11:41.forward to, the heat of the 5000? am not a morning person but I need

:11:41. > :11:47.to qualify and then get ready for the final. The final will be

:11:47. > :11:51.exciting. 24 hours to think about last night.

:11:51. > :12:00.Are you surprised his opponents raised the way they did, and did not

:12:00. > :12:05.give him more of a challenge? -- raced. I think he was still an

:12:05. > :12:12.unknown entity for them. He was sick and pulled out of race earlier the

:12:12. > :12:16.year. They may have thought to themselves, we are not sure how to

:12:16. > :12:21.run against him, so they just ran the race that suited them in the

:12:21. > :12:27.hope that he would not have the strength they expected. Hall said

:12:27. > :12:34.last night if one of his opponents had the courage to mix it up, --

:12:34. > :12:39.Paula, they would probably jeopardise their own race. So it is

:12:39. > :12:46.probably a bit of fear. And respect. They are all fans! Tonight we are

:12:46. > :12:51.building up to the men's 100m final. The last event on the track.

:12:51. > :13:01.We will see the semifinals first. It is the big-ticket at any

:13:01. > :13:18.

:13:18. > :13:28.Championships. The most glamorous COMMENTATOR: They get away. He tries

:13:28. > :13:28.

:13:28. > :13:38.to get right alongside Usain Bolt... Here comes Donovan Bailey. And he

:13:38. > :13:46.has got it! He is going to win this! Oh, magnificent! A new world

:13:46. > :13:51.record for Usain Bolt! So shall we take a look at the main

:13:51. > :13:54.contenders for the semifinal line-up? Perhaps looking through

:13:54. > :14:02.British eyes, which of our guys is most likely to come through, if any

:14:02. > :14:07.of them? It is tough. Let's think about it. Dwain Chambers have the

:14:07. > :14:12.experience of the championships. He has got a lot to prove. He is in the

:14:12. > :14:15.twilight of his career. He has been at the top. Colin fancies his

:14:15. > :14:19.chances but you have to go with the faster man and I think James should

:14:19. > :14:28.be the one to get through. That is an interesting head-to-head in

:14:28. > :14:34.itself. Yes, it is the first time they are going to clash in a while.

:14:34. > :14:40.Dwain Chambers fancies his chances. He will think, if I really run well,

:14:40. > :14:45.put some pressure on... It may be interesting to see how he finishes

:14:45. > :14:51.but it is a tough semifinal. All of the semifinals are tough. It is

:14:51. > :14:55.never an easy ride into any final. And obviously they have a matter of

:14:55. > :15:03.minutes, and our also, until they have to think about coming out here

:15:03. > :15:07.again for the final. How do you approach a semifinal when even Usain

:15:07. > :15:17.Bolt is not assured a place in the final by rights? How do you do it

:15:17. > :15:19.

:15:19. > :15:24.with enough energy and enough speed preparation and training. You have

:15:24. > :15:32.to be able to run very hard competition is back to back. We saw

:15:32. > :15:35.in the French Championships, the code repeated his condition -- the

:15:35. > :15:41.French athlete competed his condition in the semifinal and

:15:41. > :15:46.final. Mentally is any final is tougher than the final. That is

:15:46. > :15:50.where the Championship mentality comes into its own. The best way to

:15:50. > :16:00.find out what it feels like is to speak to a champion. Here is Donovan

:16:00. > :16:04.Bailey. The starting line was freedom for me but there are

:16:04. > :16:08.athletes who have already lost the race. When you have one thunk --

:16:08. > :16:13.100,000 people who are silent, for me, it was time for work and time

:16:13. > :16:20.for business, all right, let's go. COMMENTATOR: Flying into the centre

:16:20. > :16:23.is here comes Donovan Bailey. You have to be totally focused in

:16:23. > :16:26.your race. You have to know what you are doing. You should not be

:16:26. > :16:30.thinking about it, frankly because if you are thinking about your

:16:30. > :16:35.opponent or how you will race, then you are definitely not going to be

:16:35. > :16:41.in the front of the pack. COMMENTATOR: Look at the time,

:16:41. > :16:45.Donovan Bailey. The new champion of the world. Winning the World

:16:45. > :16:49.Championships, most people need to understand, world records will

:16:49. > :16:53.always be broken, they will always be someone bigger, faster and

:16:53. > :16:58.stronger than you. Winning titles is something that is very relevant to

:16:58. > :17:02.you being a legend. Having a gold medal but around your neck and being

:17:02. > :17:08.serenaded by the anthem of your country is probably the greatest

:17:08. > :17:15.tribute that can be attained, it is something I can stand and visualise

:17:15. > :17:18.and remember, probably for the rest of my life. I think somebody can

:17:18. > :17:28.beat Usain Bolt but unfortunately the person who can beat him is Usain

:17:28. > :17:33.Bolt! He beat himself in Daegu. He looked rusty, he said he was not

:17:33. > :17:37.race sharp at the anniversary games but that is only 9.85! And that is

:17:37. > :17:43.the fastest time in the world this year, he had ten days to work on

:17:43. > :17:50.speed so I think he will be here and he will be ready and he will be

:17:50. > :17:56.probably made 9.70. GABBY LOGAN: Will be final be his

:17:56. > :17:59.fastest race of the year? It would not surprise me if it was. He is

:17:59. > :18:04.ready, and he showed up the anniversary games that he is growing

:18:04. > :18:11.into form and with the confidence that nobody might be close to him, I

:18:11. > :18:17.think it might relaxing a bit more. It is interesting to hear Donovan

:18:17. > :18:22.say in the space between the Anniversary games and now, he has

:18:22. > :18:27.been working on his speed. And to most of us, that is mind blowing,

:18:27. > :18:34.what is he doing specifically that is about speed that isn't already

:18:34. > :18:39.about speed? I would describe it as turnover work, you do the legs as

:18:39. > :18:43.fast as you can. You hit the floor as quick as you can, you can do

:18:43. > :18:52.flying runs where you build and accelerate to a certain point and

:18:52. > :18:57.then you leg it! That is little! technical as that? ! And in those

:18:57. > :19:01.sessions, you wouldn't necessarily be doing in the work up to the other

:19:01. > :19:05.diamond leads but this is specific speed work. We saw him there doing

:19:05. > :19:10.his limbering up and James Dasaolu looked a bit more pensive. I was

:19:10. > :19:14.thinking the same thing. But like Colin says, all the hard work should

:19:14. > :19:20.have been done. He needs this operation time to his find form

:19:20. > :19:25.because he has not been as crisp and sharp. Will he have been doing those

:19:25. > :19:29.sessions? Yes, he will but he has been hurt so it is a bit more about

:19:29. > :19:39.the mind and the technique. Thinking more about the technique whereas

:19:39. > :19:49.Bolt is feeling the relaxation. Great Britain has heritage here in

:19:49. > :19:49.

:19:49. > :19:55.this Luzhniki Stadium, let's go back steeped in history with echoes of

:19:55. > :20:05.the past around every corner. In 1980, the venue hosted the Olympic

:20:05. > :20:06.

:20:06. > :20:10.Games, and events played out against nothing to do with politics are

:20:10. > :20:16.living in a dream world. Relations between the USSR and the

:20:16. > :20:22.West were tense. The Cold War had sunk into deep freeze and the USA

:20:22. > :20:27.chose to boycott the games. Controversially, Britain did send a

:20:27. > :20:37.team and 28-year-old Allan Wells had only one thing on his mind, ending

:20:37. > :20:41.the nation's 56 year wait for 100 COMMENTATOR: On the far side and an

:20:41. > :20:46.accident but it is Wells on in the side for Great Britain and on the

:20:46. > :20:56.far side it is Cuba. Wells lunges at the line and takes the gold medal.

:20:56. > :21:08.

:21:08. > :21:18.completing an historic sprint double COMMENTATOR: Wells is holding and

:21:18. > :21:23.

:21:23. > :21:26.the Italian get the, Allan Wells in some to question the validity of his

:21:26. > :21:29.achievements but he later accepted the invitation to race against the

:21:29. > :21:37.absent Americans over 100 metres in Germany. He crossed the line in

:21:37. > :21:42.first base. .my first place. GABBY LOGAN: That was my first

:21:42. > :21:50.Olympic memory, I don't know about you, a little bit older than me!

:21:50. > :21:54.remember 706I go a little further back but what Phil said -- I

:21:54. > :21:58.remember 1976. The fastest person there but he did go on and race them

:21:58. > :22:02.and beat them and then he went to the World Cup a year later in 1981

:22:02. > :22:06.and beat them again so he proved that he was a true world leader.

:22:06. > :22:10.White crepe for anybody watching that with gnome knowledge of Allan

:22:10. > :22:15.Wells, the woman shouting crazily there was his wife, Margot Wells and

:22:15. > :22:25.she was his coach as well, still coaches plenty of sprinters and

:22:25. > :22:27.

:22:27. > :22:36.other sportsmen. And they are a very vocal! She is definitely not

:22:36. > :22:39.tempered that. Nor should shave. Let's look at the long jumpers,

:22:39. > :22:44.Shara Proctor getting ready for her final, she qualified in top spot but

:22:44. > :22:50.we shouldn't put any added pressure and take anything from that, she

:22:50. > :22:54.qualified in top spot in London and ended in ninth place but she was 26

:22:54. > :22:59.centimetres off the board yesterday. Add that to the 6.85, she

:22:59. > :23:04.is over seven metres. If you can do that tonight, that is a medal,

:23:05. > :23:10.surely? I wish long jumping was that simple! We cannot hang the medal

:23:10. > :23:14.around her neck, she has to make sure that she takes each run as it

:23:14. > :23:19.comes, she must forget about the qualification, this is the final.

:23:19. > :23:22.She needs to start from zero and make sure she is on the board and

:23:22. > :23:25.accuracy is the thing. She cannot think about medals before she has

:23:25. > :23:33.started to jump and that might have been the problem in London having

:23:33. > :23:36.jumped so well in the qualifying rounds. She thought she might be

:23:36. > :23:43.guaranteed a medal. Do you find a change in mindset post London in

:23:43. > :23:46.her? Do you see a difference, Colin? It is the consistency we see

:23:46. > :23:49.in her performances, she has gone against the top players in the

:23:49. > :23:54.world, jumped well against them and that is always important for any

:23:54. > :23:57.athlete. It fills you with confidence. You recognise your own

:23:57. > :24:02.personal ability and you can look at the Olympic Games for Shara and

:24:02. > :24:06.think of them as a minor blip, she did not deliver them for a reason as

:24:06. > :24:10.you can come and change her own personal history. She knows she is

:24:10. > :24:15.good enough to get a medal here, and the stadium is filling up, they have

:24:15. > :24:18.got Darya Klishina who will be the crowd favourite, I think it will be

:24:18. > :24:23.depending on the order of jumping. I would like to think that she is

:24:23. > :24:28.towards the beginning of the round. I think she is going in third.

:24:28. > :24:34.is great for her. She will get a valid jump in and start to relax

:24:34. > :24:38.into the competition. These girls have six rounds effectively.

:24:38. > :24:42.Klishina there with her shades on although it is not that right down

:24:42. > :24:47.there, she is obviously keeping the glare of the fans away because the

:24:47. > :24:51.Russians expect here, don't they? She also knows she can also win. She

:24:51. > :24:53.is a very good long jumper. She knows that the medals have not been

:24:53. > :24:59.coming thick and fast for the Russians and she wants to get her

:24:59. > :25:04.name on the board. They have got the 20 K walking medal now so they can

:25:04. > :25:14.relax a bit. Let's hear from Shara speaking to Phil Jones in Barcelona

:25:14. > :25:17.

:25:17. > :25:26.That first round pressure, three jumps, it is a lot of pressure, you

:25:26. > :25:32.have to be ready. Whatever it takes to win the medal, I'm willing to do

:25:32. > :25:38.it. Even if it is not seven metres, but I want to go seven metres.

:25:38. > :25:45.are so close but it is just a matter of time. It is all-time. It is God,

:25:45. > :25:48.he is telling me it is not time yet. I just need to win for him. And as

:25:48. > :25:55.for what you learn from the Olympics last year where you qualified so

:25:55. > :25:59.well and then didn't do as well as you wanted to in the final...

:25:59. > :26:03.try to see the positive in everything. I took it as a learning

:26:03. > :26:06.experience. You can't dwell on the past so I try to have a positive

:26:06. > :26:11.season this year, and a positive World Championships and go for the

:26:11. > :26:18.gold medal this year. World rankings do not matter to me, it is weather

:26:18. > :26:22.comes out on top on the day. -- it is whoever comes out on top. And we

:26:22. > :26:28.have at least ten jumpers who can win and get the gold medal so it is

:26:28. > :26:34.all about who comes to the battle. And I am ready for it! I have got my

:26:34. > :26:37.guns up! There are others in the field as she rightly says and

:26:37. > :26:44.Blessing Okagbare has a full schedule here, Brittney Reese as

:26:44. > :26:51.well, Sharda has moved from his Florida to the East Midlands --

:26:51. > :26:54.Shara has moved. What has gone on in her training camp? It is about

:26:54. > :26:57.coaching, she has worked out who she works the best wood and if it means

:26:57. > :27:02.moving her life there, that is what she will do and it has definitely

:27:02. > :27:07.paid dividends. Far more consistent and it is great to see. And her

:27:07. > :27:14.coach who is coaching the likes of Richard Taylor, looking after

:27:14. > :27:20.Tiffany Porter in the hurdles and he has a good stable and champions

:27:20. > :27:25.around her, they are all in the East Midlands, they have all moved there

:27:25. > :27:29.so it is a better base for her is to love travelling back and forth which

:27:29. > :27:34.is time-consuming and not beneficial for your sport. Brittney Reese is

:27:34. > :27:38.going for a sixth consecutive global title indoor and outdoor, she is the

:27:38. > :27:43.girl who, on paper, knows how to jump in a major championship.

:27:43. > :27:48.no doubt about that. And right at the beginning of the year, very

:27:48. > :27:56.excited about what she would do this season because she jumped a huge

:27:56. > :27:58.7.25 in dough half so we were expecting big things from her -- in

:27:59. > :28:05.Qatar. The other person we must mention is the other American, she

:28:05. > :28:09.has gone over seven metres and she jumped off her wrong leg because she

:28:09. > :28:14.has got a bad ankle as he says she is going to go for it, she will go

:28:14. > :28:24.of hope good leg and hope that her ankle will make it through. But

:28:24. > :28:25.

:28:25. > :28:32.Britney has struggled, and cap this number was -- countless numbers of

:28:32. > :28:38.titles. Having a look at Shara in qualifying, she qualified in top

:28:38. > :28:44.spot as we say, 6.85 but she had room for manoeuvre. She is quick on

:28:44. > :28:49.the runway, as is Brittney Reese. We talk about the varying surface,

:28:49. > :28:56.these long jumpers can be affected by the surface which we have here

:28:56. > :28:59.and they tend to move the run-up backwards which makes them run

:28:59. > :29:05.quicker and it is playing with the run-up to make sure you are accurate

:29:05. > :29:11.and making sure you are running well. She is looking relaxed,

:29:11. > :29:17.keeping easy-going, that is what she has to do, enjoy the occasion, not

:29:17. > :29:22.too much pressure. I think she should enjoy it and she did it off

:29:22. > :29:27.her first job yesterday and she gets in the first round jump with 6.80 or

:29:27. > :29:31.more, then you can make your adjustments. Chris Bignall and calm,

:29:31. > :29:35.she can jump long. And sometimes, you're right, that is what she must

:29:35. > :29:38.do, but she knows that was probably equating to a seven-metre jump. She

:29:39. > :29:43.will be searching for it and that will be the mistakes she makes, if

:29:43. > :29:48.she tries to make those jumps count, let it flow, be yourself and

:29:48. > :29:53.she will be fine. Going into the men's Olympic final, Greg Rutherford

:29:53. > :29:56.for example, he had a good season but not necessarily the out now

:29:56. > :30:01.favourite to win gold, would you say she is in that kind of form where

:30:01. > :30:07.she is one the names in the mix? An amazing evening could produce a

:30:07. > :30:11.result result from Greg Rutherford? For Shara, she will always be in

:30:11. > :30:15.contention. They know she is in with contention and she could be inspired

:30:15. > :30:19.and jumped a very long way. But there are many women who could be

:30:19. > :30:24.inspired. Many other TV stations saying the same thing along this

:30:24. > :30:28.platform! You know what it is like. But there is a point in an

:30:28. > :30:32.athlete's Korea where you need to start delivering and she has been

:30:32. > :30:36.the nearly woman many times. She can jump big and she needs to do it

:30:36. > :30:42.today and that is important for her. Looking over my shoulder to see the

:30:42. > :30:51.start line for the 100 metres, the semifinals, they are almost upon us.

:30:51. > :30:55.Harry Aikines Aryeetey there, he is looking relaxed. And taking on some

:30:55. > :31:03.fluid ticking in the conditions. I was down there at the top of the

:31:03. > :31:06.show, and it was quite muggy. I'm quite an oppressive atmosphere down

:31:07. > :31:16.there, feels like an indoor track because very little air to

:31:16. > :31:21.circulate. I think they will enjoy that, the wind to run against, you

:31:21. > :31:24.like running in perfect conditions because it means your preparation

:31:24. > :31:29.can be accurate and little will change so I think they will enjoy

:31:29. > :31:34.this circumstance and it is a semifinal and I am thinking to

:31:34. > :31:37.myself, do you race this and then compete in the final? Do you compete

:31:37. > :31:44.here and race the final? It is a tough decision for them to make

:31:44. > :31:47.because it is hard, they are tough. What is going through his head now?

:31:47. > :31:54.Relaxation and he needs to make it count out of the blocks. He is also

:31:54. > :31:58.part of the main group he has changed his coach and he is feeling

:31:58. > :32:02.confident because he is seeing the results and he is feeling confident.

:32:02. > :32:08.A new personal best this year, he has everything to go for. He is in a

:32:08. > :32:11.tough heat, let's not forget. Nesta Carter, the Frenchman Jimmy Vicaut

:32:12. > :32:17.who did what we would like to have seen James Dasaolu run and run two

:32:17. > :32:22.sub ten second runs. He did it in the French championships when he did

:32:23. > :32:32.his personal best. Hopefully that opposition will push into great

:32:33. > :32:40.

:32:40. > :32:46.performances. Let's go down to evening in the stadium. It is the

:32:46. > :32:51.biggest one we have had in terms of the crowd. Something to do with this

:32:51. > :33:01.100m semifinal and final later on and Mr Bolt, I am pretty sure is the

:33:01. > :33:03.

:33:03. > :33:10.reason... You can see a pretty big crowd. Still coming in. 800m

:33:10. > :33:19.semifinals later on as well. Andrew Osagie, Michael Rimmer going in

:33:19. > :33:25.that, Christine Ohuruogu in the 400m. Lots to look forward to. So in

:33:25. > :33:29.the age-old tradition of the semifinals, we have got three. First

:33:29. > :33:37.two and two fastest losers will go through. But before that... A real

:33:37. > :33:41.chance for great written and for Shara Proctor. She stood a very good

:33:41. > :33:47.chance of winning a medal last year but by her own admittance, she blew

:33:47. > :33:53.it. Surely she cannot do it twice in a row. She was the leader in the

:33:53. > :34:03.qualifier yesterday. She is really going for it but her first jump in

:34:03. > :34:12.

:34:12. > :34:18.the final is a red flag, it is a perhaps he's best season. Justin

:34:18. > :34:23.Gatlin the big name in this semi-, who will be the favourite, pacing up

:34:23. > :34:28.and down. He looks a little apprehensive. Nesta Carter, the fast

:34:28. > :34:34.starting Jamaican, the man who is normally the leader in the relay for

:34:34. > :34:42.the Jamaican team. Richard Thompson, Trinidad and Tobago. He was in the

:34:42. > :34:50.final last year. He has the dubious honour of the fastest ever seventh

:34:50. > :34:59.place in an Olympic final. Jimmy Vicaut. He has been in superb form

:34:59. > :35:05.at the French championships. He is the top man from France. And

:35:05. > :35:12.arguably you could say in Europe and... But watch out for this man,

:35:12. > :35:17.Jobodwana. He won the world student games 100 and 200 a couple of weeks

:35:17. > :35:26.ago in Russia. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. He has a huge

:35:26. > :35:32.task. Top two will be guaranteed a place in tonight 's final and then

:35:32. > :35:42.the fastest losers. We saw a couple of sub ten clocking the

:35:42. > :36:08.

:36:08. > :36:14.qualification yesterday. Bingtian Su 25th birthday. A huge race here for

:36:14. > :36:24.Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. Gatlin and Carter, two, the big names of world

:36:24. > :36:39.

:36:39. > :36:44.sprinting, over in lanes four and very good and this man won the Asian

:36:44. > :36:54.Championships. Not quite the Chinese record-holder. You know what? The

:36:54. > :36:55.

:36:55. > :37:01.man next to him, Gabriel Mvumvure may have been responsible for that.

:37:01. > :37:09.But I have a feeling it is going to be Su who goes. It is funny, when

:37:09. > :37:19.you have the reactions come up and nothing has come up on lane 3... We

:37:19. > :37:29.

:37:29. > :37:35.might have another look at that. Very slight. Did you see that? Very

:37:35. > :37:43.slight and he didn't even move. Are you with me, Andrew? Yes. The

:37:43. > :37:50.Chinese will be playing that replay time and time again. Mvumvure just

:37:50. > :37:58.the tiniest hint of eight twitch, but Su has gone. That is unfortunate

:37:58. > :38:08.for being the Sue. So that is one less for Harry Aikines-Aryeetey to

:38:08. > :38:34.

:38:34. > :38:37.worry about. -- unfortunate for the script said that these two

:38:37. > :38:43.should go through, and they delivered what was expected of

:38:43. > :38:49.them. In pretty impressive style as well. It was always going to be

:38:49. > :38:55.tough for Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. There was an opportunity perhaps for

:38:55. > :39:02.him to go under ten seconds. Watch as Gatlin goes past and the two of

:39:02. > :39:10.them moved away together. The Frenchman is never really with the

:39:10. > :39:17.two big names. Just outside ten seconds for Jimmy Vicaut. I do not

:39:17. > :39:23.know if that is going to be good enough. Harry looked as though, once

:39:23. > :39:31.he got into his running... Nothing left, then. Last 30 metres or so he

:39:31. > :39:39.just gives up the ghost a little. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey finding his

:39:39. > :39:44.level. It has been a good season. It was not a bad run from him. Simply

:39:44. > :39:48.not quite good enough. I know that he knows he's not going to get

:39:48. > :39:58.through but just wondering whether he just eased up at the end. 10.34

:39:58. > :40:05.he's clocking. Maybe I am doing him an injustice. He certainly did not

:40:05. > :40:15.been issued the race to Killie well, and he knew it. -- he certainly did

:40:15. > :40:19.

:40:19. > :40:27.not finish the race particularly to Jimmy Vicaut than where you

:40:27. > :40:34.finished? I am speechless. That is not what I am about. I train to be

:40:34. > :40:38.one of the best. It is disappointing. But no excuses. You

:40:38. > :40:45.have to come and give your best today. I will go away, see my coach

:40:45. > :40:54.and see where we are going to go. I am massively disappointed. How were

:40:54. > :41:04.you feeling at the start? I felt great. I wiped the false start row

:41:04. > :41:07.

:41:07. > :41:17.from my head. -- Mack from my head. Thank you. Thank you for your

:41:17. > :41:39.

:41:39. > :41:46.Once again Gatling is top of the and still Spanovic of Serbia leads.

:41:46. > :41:54.A little bit ragged through the air. This morning, when she came out for

:41:54. > :41:58.the heat in the 100m, she sped down the straight. 11.04. Although the

:41:58. > :42:08.last couple of strides into take-off but not the Dick Dalley good and her

:42:08. > :42:08.

:42:08. > :42:18.take-off was terrible. -- her last couple of strides into take-off were

:42:18. > :42:26.

:42:26. > :42:33.heat remains, adding to the atmosphere and the pressure. Closing

:42:33. > :42:43.in on the next eight men trying to make the final of the men's 800m --

:42:43. > :42:52.

:42:52. > :43:00.100m. Two British men, in lane three and blame nine. -- lane nine. The

:43:00. > :43:10.Canadian came through with a rather unsteady time, 10.3 C row in the

:43:10. > :43:13.

:43:13. > :43:21.first round. -- 10.30. James Dasaolu, what lies in store for

:43:21. > :43:27.him? Can he make his first major championships final? And there is

:43:27. > :43:36.Kuma Bailey call, the youngest man in the starting line-up. He looked

:43:36. > :43:41.comfortable winning his heat yesterday. The Chinese attentions

:43:41. > :43:48.switch to Zhang Peimeng. This year he has taken two tenths of his

:43:48. > :43:58.personal best. Nickel Ashmeade goes in his 200m as well, perhaps his

:43:58. > :44:02.strongest event. But certainly a good chance of making the final. We

:44:02. > :44:12.have just seen Jimmy Vicaut finishing third in the previous

:44:12. > :44:13.

:44:13. > :44:18.heat. Jason Rogers. Note Kim Collins from his country is year having

:44:18. > :44:23.fallen out with the organising committee. Dwain Chambers first made

:44:23. > :44:31.the final of the World Championships in Seville back in 1999. From highs

:44:31. > :44:38.and lows of his career of his own making. Disqualified a false start

:44:38. > :44:42.at the World Championships in Daegu at this stage. A few of the cameras

:44:42. > :44:52.are focusing elsewhere, for the man who will be running in the next

:44:52. > :45:10.

:45:10. > :45:20.semifinal. Just waiting, watching. The second semifinal of the men's

:45:20. > :45:36.

:45:36. > :45:43.twitching. Looking at lanes one and two there as well, and a nervous

:45:43. > :45:47.glance across at me from Steve Cram. A very nervous glance. That is the

:45:47. > :45:56.two of them together. I can tell you that on the computer it is coming up

:45:56. > :46:05.as... I can breathe a sigh of relief. The Canadian, Gavin Smellie.

:46:05. > :46:10.That is a good colour to bring out. And it is... A warning. No more than

:46:10. > :46:14.a warning, which is crazy, isn't it? In that previous heat, even with

:46:14. > :46:24.our naked eye it looks like the Chinese athlete had been affected

:46:24. > :46:24.

:46:24. > :47:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:47:12. > :47:18.why the guy next to him and we get a Running better and stronger, and

:47:18. > :47:24.Nickel Ashmeade as well, James Dasaolu third-place run out of it in

:47:24. > :47:29.the end of the automatic places, the Jamaicans haring down on him. 9.91,

:47:29. > :47:39.certainly a better run from James Dasaolu. But he will have to wait,

:47:39. > :47:50.

:47:50. > :47:54.know that he has promise and he delivered it here. He looked a

:47:54. > :48:01.little bit not quite set in the blocks but a great start and really

:48:01. > :48:11.storming through here and only two Jamaicans. Full is. We have talked

:48:11. > :48:21.about them, Bailey Colbert is very close, 9.97 has just come up --

:48:21. > :48:24.

:48:24. > :48:30.Kemar Bailey-Cole but it is close. delighted after the shocker I had

:48:31. > :48:35.yesterday. With that sort of time, it gives you a chance for the

:48:35. > :48:45.final? I hope it will be good enough and I will try to recover. Well

:48:45. > :48:48.

:48:48. > :48:54.preparations before she jumped in round two, it was a long foul in the

:48:54. > :48:58.first round and since then we have had Okagbare, Darya Klishina and now

:48:58. > :49:02.Shara Proctor, what has she done this time. As she got the precious

:49:02. > :49:12.whitefly? Yes, she has. I think she may well have put herself in the mix

:49:12. > :49:18.

:49:19. > :49:26.there. So it will be relief for across to see. -- Rana Reider, her

:49:26. > :49:30.coach. Klishina jumped 6.76 before her and I can tell you already, 6.79

:49:31. > :49:38.has come up on the board show Shara Proctor for the time being is in

:49:38. > :49:42.second place. And that is a much, much better jump. She can go

:49:42. > :49:46.further, there is no doubt about that. And nobody in this competition

:49:46. > :49:56.has yet jumped out of the pit. She has got every chance of going into

:49:56. > :49:58.

:49:58. > :50:02.a disappointed man beside me, Dwain Chambers, what went wrong for you,

:50:02. > :50:06.do you think? I don't know. I went out and prepared as best as I could

:50:06. > :50:10.and I thought my body was able to deliver, so I was disappointed. I

:50:10. > :50:17.ready wanted to make the final because I have given it my all this

:50:17. > :50:20.year but it was not meant to be. soon after a race... Maybe the

:50:20. > :50:28.mechanics didn't quite work for you today, maybe you were not right in

:50:28. > :50:34.your mind, does it take some time to sink in? I have to compose myself

:50:34. > :50:39.because I'm not happy! I know it is a difficult one. He wanted to do

:50:39. > :50:44.better than that and make the final. Overall now, where do you see

:50:44. > :50:49.yourself going from here? I will participate in the relay and then we

:50:49. > :50:59.will see. I know it is difficult, thank you for stopping by.

:50:59. > :51:03.

:51:03. > :51:06.the next semifinal, Usain Bolt in the far end of the straight and

:51:06. > :51:09.alongside him, you can see Mike Rodgers, Aaron Brown, we have

:51:09. > :51:14.already seen some really good sprinting, three men under ten

:51:14. > :51:19.seconds including James Dasaolu in that previous semifinal. Let's

:51:19. > :51:24.clarify as we go down the line, Dasaolu and Lemaitre are the

:51:24. > :51:34.quickest losers at the moment. Bolts, surely not worried about the

:51:34. > :51:35.

:51:35. > :51:41.fastest loser spot. -- bolt. Looking a bit more subdued. It is OK if he

:51:41. > :51:45.produces the goods. Aaron Brown, of Canada, maybe semifinal in the other

:51:45. > :51:54.big games in the 200 metres last year, still only 21, improving all

:51:54. > :52:02.the time. Close to but not far off his best. Keston Bledman run pretty

:52:02. > :52:08.well and a season's best, just outside ten seconds. So that 10.02

:52:08. > :52:18.yesterday. Ramon Gittens of Barbados. It will be close, very,

:52:18. > :52:19.

:52:19. > :52:27.very close indeed. Behind Bolt. Churandy Martina of the

:52:27. > :52:37.Netherlands, European champion in 200 metres. Training with Justin

:52:37. > :52:54.

:52:54. > :53:00.What has he got to offer? Is two team-mates are through... Three,

:53:00. > :53:10.three team-mates are through. Are we heading for three Jamaicans in the

:53:10. > :53:31.

:53:31. > :53:34.and Mike Rodgers gives him the eyeball, 9.93. I am not sure he can

:53:34. > :53:38.look into his eyeballs, he was staring him in the chest, a

:53:38. > :53:43.difference in stature between the two but he looked like he was not

:53:43. > :53:46.interested. What do you make of that? That was interesting. And we

:53:46. > :53:51.watched Bolt we have this level of expectation about in that says he

:53:52. > :54:00.should make this look very easy and at times he makes you think, hang

:54:00. > :54:05.on, that was not a good start, Mike Rodgers has a good start but he is

:54:05. > :54:13.surprising everybody, he is running very, very fast. Bolt and Mike

:54:13. > :54:19.Rodgers run clear but it's good news for James Dasaolu, it will

:54:19. > :54:22.Christophe Lemaitre and James Dasaolu to joined them in the final.

:54:22. > :54:28.You don't want to make Usain Bolt angry but it was a good race from

:54:28. > :54:33.Mike Rodgers. Difficult to know what to make of Usain Bolt, he looked

:54:33. > :54:43.like he was giving it his all, or was he? Is it part of the game, a

:54:43. > :54:45.

:54:45. > :54:48.little smile there. Watching himself on the screen and Mike Rodgers

:54:48. > :54:56.watching him. That is interesting, I am trying to create a bit of

:54:56. > :55:00.intrigue here! Get people thinking, I wonder if he could get the? -- get

:55:00. > :55:04.beaten. I doubt it somehow but it makes him the fastest of the

:55:04. > :55:09.qualifier and yet another Russian allcomers record. And Mike Rodgers

:55:09. > :55:13.with a season's best in second. Just to confirm if you have just

:55:13. > :55:18.have joined -- if you have just joined us, Shara Proctor has just

:55:18. > :55:28.jumped into second place behind blessing Cribari of Nigeria. This is

:55:28. > :55:32.

:55:32. > :55:34.the depending world champion -- Brittney Reese has won the

:55:35. > :55:40.championship twice before and she is a fantastic talent, and while that

:55:40. > :55:46.looks like it could be the first jump over seven metres. Her coach

:55:46. > :55:49.seems to be happy, Jeremy Fisher. Brittney Reese, the Olympic

:55:49. > :55:52.champion, twice the world champion indoors and outdoors as well. I

:55:53. > :56:00.think you can see from that technique, it is very basic. But

:56:00. > :56:06.what a talent she has got in that very tall lean body. Just a very

:56:06. > :56:12.simple technique and reaching for the sand. Fantastic jump by Brittney

:56:13. > :56:22.Reese, that has set the stadium alight, she is well in the lead

:56:23. > :56:30.

:56:30. > :56:37.ahead of Shara Proctor and Cribari. that for the final for the 100

:56:37. > :56:39.metres men's final. GABBY LOGAN: Three very exciting

:56:39. > :56:49.semifinals there. Even Christophe Lemaitre and not Jimmy Vicaut is a

:56:49. > :56:52.

:56:52. > :56:56.different man from yesterday? always wanted to see that. We

:56:56. > :57:00.mentioned yesterday, he has not got the centre of experience in this

:57:00. > :57:03.type of company but it was a sensational performance from him.

:57:03. > :57:09.Second time under ten seconds but what was special about today is that

:57:09. > :57:13.he came off a bad race yesterday and he competed here today and that to

:57:14. > :57:17.me is a good, positive sign of where he is out at this moment. I agree

:57:17. > :57:25.and on the start line, the point he was saying to me, he was fired up.

:57:25. > :57:28.You don't normally see that from James but he knows he can deliver

:57:28. > :57:31.and he really did, he had a strategy with his coach and it works

:57:31. > :57:38.fantastically well. He did not seem in his post-match interview

:57:38. > :57:42.yesterday with Phil how badly he had raced and leading on reviewing it

:57:42. > :57:46.later, it sank in. It was quite shocking watching the race for a

:57:46. > :57:49.heat of a runner who has not competed on the stage? I think he

:57:49. > :57:54.was shocked because he thought he was going out and did not expect

:57:54. > :57:57.that. Clearly he has needed some work but he thought he was good

:57:58. > :58:05.enough to get through and he nearly didn't and I think the

:58:05. > :58:12.realisation... He will not go away with any regrets. Go out and enjoy

:58:12. > :58:18.the final. And run his socks off. Bolt gave us a very intriguing

:58:18. > :58:24.semifinal the four different reasons. He did not look like he was

:58:24. > :58:27.moving a big ears at all. Mike Rodgers on the right of the screen

:58:27. > :58:33.is an awesome starter and Usain Bolt was right with him and from here on

:58:33. > :58:42.in, he is doing high knee exercises by the looks of it, look at the way

:58:42. > :58:50.his arms are moving. What is that about, the head turning for looking

:58:50. > :58:58.out at Mike Rodgers? What is Mike Rodgers saying the? I think he is

:58:58. > :59:02.saying he may have him in the final. Is he telling him that the? --

:59:03. > :59:07.telling him that the? A good little head to head. The first heat, Justin

:59:08. > :59:12.Gatlin was the winner when we expected him to be the main

:59:12. > :59:16.protagonists for Bolt but maybe Mike Rodgers has got other ideas. Justin

:59:16. > :59:19.Gatlin is such a consistent runner, he has been consistent all season,

:59:19. > :59:29.not usually the best starter but when he gets into his running, the

:59:29. > :59:35.

:59:35. > :59:42.power really starts and he is really in there. In Jian the four. And this

:59:42. > :59:48.qualification there as well. Looking Jimmy Vicaut as well, you look at

:59:49. > :59:53.the rest of the field, everybody's heads are down, and then his head is

:59:53. > :59:56.up. He went into overdrive straight away and that is difficult to do.

:59:56. > :00:00.Pretty sad that he did not make it through because the more Europeans

:00:00. > :00:04.in, the better but we have got Christophe Lemaitre in there.

:00:04. > :00:14.is a nice head to head for James to think that he will need to be the

:00:14. > :00:25.

:00:25. > :00:30.top European. Let's go over to behind Brittney Reese, that she is

:00:30. > :00:36.all over the place. Very cross with herself. She was of balance when she

:00:36. > :00:39.took off in the first run, but that was worse. You forget when you see

:00:39. > :00:46.such fantastic sprint times from this athlete... There is her

:00:46. > :00:56.courage. She is actually an Olympic bronze medallist in the long jump,

:00:56. > :00:56.

:00:56. > :01:05.too. Way, way of islands, but it was a prestigious distance. She is such

:01:05. > :01:15.a naturally powerful athlete. -- way, way off balance. She said the

:01:15. > :01:16.

:01:16. > :01:22.African record of 10.79 in the 100m at the London and of the games.

:01:22. > :01:27.Jarder now, the European indoor bronze medallist. You see the

:01:27. > :01:37.difference in terms of the take-off speed and the height that Okagbare

:01:37. > :01:39.

:01:39. > :01:44.achieved in her previous jump. Shara Proctor, 6.79, in a bronze medal

:01:44. > :01:53.position at the moment for Great Britain, but we have a long way to

:01:53. > :01:57.go in this long jump final. Now we move onto 800m, and three

:01:57. > :02:05.high-quality semifinals. Sergey and Rimmer going for Great Britain, a

:02:05. > :02:10.Sergey in the first heat. -- Andrew Osagie and Rimmer going for Great

:02:10. > :02:15.Britain, Andrew Osagie in the first heat. He has had his injury

:02:15. > :02:19.problems. He has been plagued with calf Robin is probably right through

:02:19. > :02:22.his career but the last couple of weeks things have come to gather

:02:22. > :02:28.really nicely for him and he looked really nice in qualification. When

:02:28. > :02:34.you see someone like Sullivan on your start list who is going to take

:02:34. > :02:41.it out, you know it is going to be a hard run race, a true run race --

:02:41. > :02:49.someone like Duane Solomon. Yes, and when he looks around, he has got a

:02:49. > :02:54.real chance here. The way he ran yesterday. He has been struggling

:02:54. > :02:58.for that form all season because of his injuries. I thought he was

:02:58. > :03:05.impressive. I think he thought he was impressive, which is what counts

:03:05. > :03:13.here. Physically, if he is strong enough, he will do what he has to do

:03:13. > :03:19.and qualify. Note David Rudisha. He had a knee problem, which came up

:03:19. > :03:25.after the first couple of races of the season. This man here,

:03:25. > :03:30.Lewandowski, who beat Michael Rimmer in the Europeans, he had a bad

:03:30. > :03:34.journey out here. He got to Zurich airport to board a flight and they

:03:34. > :03:40.said they would not accept his passport because it had a crack in

:03:40. > :03:46.it. He stayed in Zurich on Friday and only flew out on Saturday when

:03:46. > :03:54.he got a new passport. There have been a view athletes who have had

:03:54. > :04:00.troubled journeys to get here. Rowe, the Australian champion, a good

:04:00. > :04:05.talent from Australia, just 21 years of age. Gakeme, this was a surprise.

:04:05. > :04:12.We were not expecting anything from him. Best time we had done for him

:04:12. > :04:17.was 1.51 and then he came up with 1.46, as the fastest loser. Kevin

:04:17. > :04:21.Lopez of Spain is having a cracking year. He began with a silver medal

:04:21. > :04:29.at the European indoor Championships in March. This is Mohammed of Saudi

:04:29. > :04:37.Arabia. A massive jump in his personal best. Lewandowski, there he

:04:37. > :04:47.is. Always a redoubtable competitor. He has been dabbling with the 1500

:04:47. > :04:49.

:04:49. > :04:56.EDC. -- this year. Duane Solomon, American champion. Won the Monaco

:04:56. > :05:01.Diamond League last week. Andrew Osagie would have loved to have been

:05:01. > :05:09.in those races at had to concentrate on getting himself fit and has done

:05:09. > :05:13.that and he has arrived here with every opportunity. This is Ferguson

:05:13. > :05:21.Cheruiyot. He changed his name because he is a big Manchester

:05:21. > :05:26.United fan. He is a real talent but he is a little bit raw. Is he

:05:26. > :05:31.really? Absolutely. It is true. Changed his name. It is great. I

:05:31. > :05:41.haven't heard of anyone from Kenya called Rendon yet, but you live and

:05:41. > :05:51.hope. -- called Brendan. So three races. The first two and the two

:05:51. > :06:01.

:06:01. > :06:11.fastest losers in the final on on the outside was a little slow to

:06:11. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:18.get away. Duwayne Solomon got away quickly. I would expect Solomon to

:06:18. > :06:28.control this. He looks to be in front. He likes to set a good pace.

:06:28. > :06:38.Lopez has started quickly. Solomon is through the first 200m am a

:06:38. > :06:43.

:06:43. > :06:53.24.38. -- on 24.38. Andrew Osagie is going to be a little bit slower in

:06:53. > :07:00.the first 200m, and that 200m takes its toll in M 800m race. Nearly 52

:07:00. > :07:05.at 400m for Andrew Osagie. There goes Duwayne Solomon with Ferguson

:07:05. > :07:11.Cheruiyot on his shoulder. And here now is the opportunity for Andrew

:07:11. > :07:20.Osagie. Lopez of Spain is struggling, going backwards down the

:07:20. > :07:28.straight. Andrew is struggling here but he still has chances in the home

:07:28. > :07:34.straight. Got some work to do, though. Cheruiyot looks tired. Here

:07:35. > :07:44.comes Andrew Osagie. He has got to get into the top four. He is just

:07:45. > :07:46.

:07:46. > :07:52.about past Cheruiyot. Solomon wins it. Solomon is a tough, tough man.

:07:52. > :07:57.Remember what Rudisha did, of course. Andrew Osagie not quite as

:07:57. > :08:03.bit as he was last year. I am not sure he would have expected Solomon

:08:03. > :08:12.to take it out quite that hard. That is impressive. 1.438 in the

:08:12. > :08:19.semifinal. Duwayne Solomon runs much like his coach, Johnny Gray. He ran

:08:19. > :08:29.too fast on occasion. And Ferguson Cheruiyot trite to challenge

:08:29. > :08:32.

:08:32. > :08:39.Solomon. A bit of tiredness from Andrew Osagie, from the injury.

:08:39. > :08:45.Lewandowski making his move. From this point, Andrew Osagie has got to

:08:45. > :08:55.come a long way back. Relaxing on the bend and that is sensible. Is

:08:55. > :09:00.

:09:00. > :09:10.there anything left in the tank? It is a season 's best for the Sergey.

:09:10. > :09:11.

:09:11. > :09:19.That might be quick enough. -- a seasoned's best for Osagie rack.

:09:19. > :09:22.Let's face it, to run a seasoned's best here, a good race here produced

:09:22. > :09:32.by Duwayne Solomon. Andrew Osagie acquitted himself extremely well. It

:09:32. > :09:40.

:09:40. > :09:48.best. The kind of Bill W hat has not been ideal. Yes, today the plan was

:09:48. > :09:53.always to get the seasoned's best. -- the kind of build-up you have

:09:53. > :09:57.had. It will be difficult to stay in that position. If I do not get

:09:57. > :10:04.through I will be disappointed but if I get through it is a massive

:10:04. > :10:10.confidence boost for me. That I can perform even when I am struggling.

:10:10. > :10:17.You ran a very mature race. Yes, I tried not to panic. Lots of

:10:17. > :10:23.movement, lots of vision changes. There is not very much I can do. --

:10:23. > :10:30.lots of position changes. If it is enough... If it is not, I am sorry

:10:30. > :10:37.if I have let anyone down. We will keep our fingers crossed. Thank you

:10:37. > :10:47.very much to everyone. All the sponsors, all be physios, getting me

:10:47. > :10:50.

:10:50. > :10:55.We are into the third round of the long jump final and it is a

:10:55. > :11:04.fascinating final as well despite the fact that Brittney Reese has

:11:04. > :11:14.gone out to seven metres and one centimetre. Shara Proctor, here,

:11:14. > :11:28.

:11:28. > :11:36.6.79. Can she improve on that? Well, Belarus and went out on six metres

:11:36. > :11:44.82, a seasoned's rest from her. But pushes Shara Proctor down into

:11:44. > :11:54.fourth place. So if Shara Proctor wants they medal she has to jump

:11:54. > :11:56.

:11:56. > :12:05.over 6.8 two. She is in good form but now she has got to produce it.

:12:05. > :12:11.What a great first semifinal. Mohammed, that is his fifth race of

:12:11. > :12:18.the year. He has gone past in every single race. Lewandowski, despite

:12:18. > :12:23.his problems with his travel, came third. Andrew Osagie has his season

:12:23. > :12:33.iss best. We will have to watch these two semifinals and hope they

:12:33. > :12:35.

:12:35. > :12:43.are not as quick. Michael Rimmer ran a controlled race in his heat. But

:12:43. > :12:50.this is a strong line-up. It is great to have a ready-made pacemaker

:12:50. > :12:56.in someone like Duwayne Solomon. Brandon Johnson is the former 400m

:12:56. > :13:06.hurdle. But also in this race, the man who could see off the challenge

:13:06. > :13:08.

:13:08. > :13:15.of them all. Not referees Rodriguez, but Mohammed Aman of

:13:15. > :13:25.Ethiopian. There are five athletes in this race who have run faster

:13:25. > :13:33.than rumour is season. That includes Benedetti. -- faster than Michael

:13:33. > :13:40.Rimmer this season. He gets a good cheer from the British supporters.

:13:40. > :13:47.He is a popular athlete. In the background in the Ethiopian fest,

:13:47. > :13:57.Mohammed Aman. He has only lost one in seven races this season, that was

:13:57. > :13:58.

:13:58. > :14:03.to David Rudisha. The second semifinal in the men's 800m. They

:14:03. > :14:09.know what pace is required and it is a fast pace indeed after the Duwayne

:14:09. > :14:18.Solomon led first semifinal. It looks like Johnson is going to try

:14:18. > :14:28.to take them out here. The Frenchman also a very strong runner. They head

:14:28. > :14:33.

:14:33. > :14:41.through 200m. Michael Rimmer is putting himself right in the race.

:14:41. > :14:51.Two will go through, and then the two fastest losers. Michael Rimmer

:14:51. > :14:53.

:14:53. > :14:59.has got to get in amongst it. It is going to be difficult to run the

:14:59. > :15:05.rest at that pace. Michael Rimmer into the back straight. He is

:15:05. > :15:12.probably one of the favourites for this race. Bosse of France on the

:15:12. > :15:20.outside. Benedetti is coming under some pressure. Now, Michael Rimmer,

:15:20. > :15:27.time to find your position and make your move. Mohammed Aman is

:15:27. > :15:37.struggling to get back on terms. Three separate themselves from the

:15:37. > :15:41.

:15:41. > :15:48.rest of the heard. Aman is coming through to take the victory. Then

:15:48. > :15:58.Bosse and Johnson. Michael Rimmer back in sixth place. Not as quick as

:15:58. > :16:05.

:16:05. > :16:08.the first semifinal. Michael Rimmer will go no further. Michael Rimmer a

:16:08. > :16:13.bit disappointed with that. He will give himself every chance and this

:16:13. > :16:18.is the back straight. Aman, his head is bobbing a little bit he looks

:16:18. > :16:21.under pressure and tired, Michael Rimmer looks as though he is running

:16:21. > :16:26.smoothly but here, four men in front of him, he knows he needs to finish

:16:26. > :16:32.in the first two, and then he will not finish second from there and

:16:32. > :16:35.look at Aman here. Brandon Johnson just ahead of him and here is

:16:36. > :16:41.Michael Rimmer making his run, Aman, at this point, I thought he would be

:16:41. > :16:50.run out but there is Michael Rimmer tried to make his move, tried to get

:16:50. > :16:56.in position. And then two at that point, goes prettily through. Bosse

:16:56. > :17:04.ran strongly. He will be disappointed with that. I am a bit

:17:04. > :17:12.surprised at how quickly they came past London Johnson. Andrew Osagie

:17:12. > :17:16.is still the second fastest. Brandon Johnson, 144.8. He is out of it now

:17:16. > :17:23.come auto shop for him and a bit of a shock for me with Aman because I

:17:23. > :17:27.said he was going to win that race but strangely disappointing. Michael

:17:27. > :17:32.Rimmer is doused as talking to Phil Jones. It was always going to be

:17:32. > :17:38.tough there. Out of what it out there? Yeah, it

:17:38. > :17:45.was tough. I won't make any excuses, the first round took a bit

:17:45. > :17:52.out of me so I just missed it a little bit. The other three were

:17:52. > :17:55.definitely stronger. I gave it everything, find myself in a couple

:17:55. > :18:00.of bad positions, had to change gear and you do not want to be changing

:18:00. > :18:06.gear when it is quick and I had to try to get up there. I was just

:18:06. > :18:16.unfortunately not quite there. Michael, fax or talking to us.

:18:16. > :18:23.

:18:23. > :18:29.Johnson, Andrew Osagie was 1.44.85. He is still in the box seat for the

:18:29. > :18:37.fastest loser going into the final semifinal.

:18:37. > :18:41.GABBY LOGAN: It will be a nervous and nail-biting evening. If those

:18:41. > :18:44.reactions to the first two semifinals. Andrew Osagie is

:18:45. > :18:48.basically in last place. If anybody in the third places faster than him,

:18:48. > :18:58.he is out. Michael Rimmer, he seemed desperately disappointed there,

:18:58. > :18:59.

:18:59. > :19:03.Paula, with his race. Did he get it but his body could not respond and

:19:03. > :19:08.he has missed too much training and he did not have that India is to

:19:08. > :19:13.recover from yesterday and come back and be able to react fast enough.

:19:13. > :19:18.have done a swap with Jackson again, I will give you an official welcome.

:19:18. > :19:25.Paula Radcliffe is with us now. And Andrew Osagie has not has the best

:19:25. > :19:29.season in terms of fitness -- has not had. He has missed a lot and he

:19:29. > :19:33.has run a seasoned's best, he puts himself in the right place where

:19:33. > :19:38.last year he was able to get in front of Marcin Lewandowski and

:19:38. > :19:43.knock him out. But he could not reach Lewandowski but he is still

:19:43. > :19:52.hanging in there so essentially we are watching that and keeping our

:19:52. > :20:02.fingers crossed. We have got a young lace Soliman and Anthony Chemut, it

:20:02. > :20:09.

:20:09. > :20:13.our fingers crossed. If to do it and get away, great and the third person

:20:13. > :20:18.is a bit back, that would suit Andrew but he is also any good

:20:18. > :20:23.position. The top three from London are not here most notably, David

:20:23. > :20:25.Rudisha, the world record-holder and it is a decimated field so Andrew

:20:25. > :20:29.Osagie will really want to be in that field to maintain what he did

:20:29. > :20:36.last year, let's hope, fingers crossed that he can make it, the

:20:36. > :20:43.third and final heat of the 800m, back to Steve Cram. This is another

:20:43. > :20:53.loaded semifinal here and Andrew Osagie will be nervously watching

:20:53. > :20:55.

:20:56. > :21:04.that and he survived by four which will take him into the 1.44s

:21:04. > :21:08.again? Many people's tip for perhaps if not a medal, maybe winning the

:21:08. > :21:17.race. He looks nervous there, so he should be, it is a tough semifinal.

:21:17. > :21:25.This is Adam Kszczot of Poland, European indoor champion. He missed

:21:25. > :21:34.a few races and came back in London. There are some people here running

:21:34. > :21:38.fast times, Amine El Manaoui former youth medallist, some men to watch

:21:38. > :21:46.out for in the inside, I think Ayanleh Souleiman of Djibouti who

:21:46. > :21:51.will be running the 1,500m, attempting the double. As a training

:21:51. > :21:55.part of the Algerian who won the Olympic 1,500m gold medal --

:21:55. > :22:00.training partner. Watch for him here. Ayanleh Souleiman a bit slow

:22:00. > :22:10.away, the Qatari athlete and Asian champion has started very quickly in

:22:10. > :22:14.

:22:14. > :22:24.lane three. Drew the first 200 metres it will be a new name, Musaab

:22:24. > :22:25.

:22:25. > :22:29.Bala. Slowing down, there. Nick Symmonds of America in the red vest

:22:29. > :22:34.moving into fourth place, he looks comfortable, he looks smart as well,

:22:34. > :22:38.that was a clever move. The Kenyan, Anthony Chemut in fifth place, they

:22:38. > :22:42.don't look like they are going to quickly here. That was a 25 opening

:22:42. > :22:49.but they are beginning to slow, Ronald Musagala has been impressive

:22:50. > :22:53.so far, let's see what the lap time is. 51.7, a good solid lap time. If

:22:53. > :22:58.it is a really competitive race, like it looks like it will be, then

:22:58. > :23:03.it will be quick so Nick Symmonds on the outside, Ayanleh Souleiman as

:23:03. > :23:08.well, and Nick Symmonds has been impressive leading up to this event.

:23:08. > :23:18.He is getting ready, and Ayanleh Souleiman and Nick Symmonds will be

:23:18. > :23:18.

:23:18. > :23:22.the two we would favour. Ayanleh Souleiman, the first to strike. Adam

:23:22. > :23:31.Kszczot has got great speed normally if he is fit but what has he got

:23:31. > :23:40.this time round? He is a long way from the front? These two attractive

:23:40. > :23:44.getaway but it will be Souleiman and Nick Symmonds. I think that is a

:23:44. > :23:48.good bit of news for Andrew Osagie. Sorry to be so British about this as

:23:48. > :23:53.we watch Souleiman and Nick Symmonds but that is good news, these are

:23:53. > :23:56.tough semifinals. Great depth in the men's 800m running this year, we do

:23:56. > :24:03.not have David Rudisha but we have got was a very good runners and a

:24:03. > :24:08.cracking final in-store and Nick Symmonds will hope he has got the

:24:08. > :24:18.chance of winning, as well Souleiman. Goodies for Andrew

:24:18. > :24:21.

:24:21. > :24:26.Osagie. He is 1.44, and eight tenths of a second. It means that that the

:24:26. > :24:29.definite news is that Andrew Osagie is through, and he deserves it.

:24:29. > :24:34.These two will be competitors in the final, they will be tough to beat.

:24:34. > :24:40.Nick Symmonds ran well today. Souleiman coming under pressure as

:24:40. > :24:44.we look head-on, Nick Symmonds look strong. We saw him run 1,500m a

:24:44. > :24:47.personal best there. He looks and controlled. He is looking about the

:24:47. > :24:57.screen and his downstairs and he will probably explain to us that it

:24:57. > :25:00.

:25:00. > :25:03.it is for an American to tell everybody at home. It takes six

:25:03. > :25:07.rounds to become a world champion for an American, I have run now,

:25:07. > :25:17.three at the trials, two here, finally booked my ticket into the

:25:17. > :25:19.

:25:19. > :25:23.final and I can think about the goal Two Americans in the final, Dwayne

:25:23. > :25:32.and I am a fourth and fifth last year, without the medallist

:25:32. > :25:40.returning. I will put us at least in the hunt for a medal here. I am glad

:25:41. > :25:43.that he makes it a good final, and it plays in my favour. This is my

:25:43. > :25:47.sixth global championships, my fourth finals, I have been six,

:25:47. > :25:51.fifth, fifth and if I do not bring home a medal, I do not know if I

:25:51. > :25:55.will be able to do in my career. I will give it everything, I am in a

:25:55. > :25:59.good shape, at the right time. To sneak in there. If not gold, it has

:25:59. > :26:09.got to be one of the other two and you have got to run the thing. Thank

:26:09. > :26:14.

:26:14. > :26:18.you, guys, thank you. I think a lot Rowland, for the British fans there.

:26:18. > :26:27.He ran the steeplechase a long time ago in the 80s so Souleiman got the

:26:27. > :26:34.nod there, and Lewandowski from Andrew Osagie -- and Andrew Osagie

:26:34. > :26:40.will join them. This is our first look in this long jump final at the

:26:40. > :26:45.US athlete, a fine competitor, and she is in danger of being

:26:45. > :26:49.eliminated. She needs to go further than 6.67

:26:49. > :26:54.metres in order to make it into the last eight and take three further

:26:54. > :26:58.jumps in this final. But I know she has been having terrible problems

:26:58. > :27:06.with her take off leg. She finished sixth in London, jumping off the

:27:06. > :27:14.wrong leg. I understand from this competition, she has said it is all

:27:14. > :27:19.a thing as she has gone back to jumping off her right leg -- it is

:27:19. > :27:27.all nothing so she has gone back to her right leg. She really does need

:27:27. > :27:34.to go long. The Olympic bronze medallist is out of this final.

:27:34. > :27:42.Shara Proctor really has to get stuck into this second-half of this

:27:42. > :27:50.final. The Russian has gone past her, 6.81 and I mentioned Volha

:27:50. > :27:58.Sudarava, and Shara Proctor now in fifth place in this final. This is

:27:58. > :28:02.her fourth round jump. It is good but will not be good enough. She

:28:02. > :28:09.gets the white flag, that is the important thing. A very long jump on

:28:09. > :28:16.the first round but it was a marginal file. They were going to

:28:16. > :28:23.the regular routine of talking about it, with Rana Reider. Good

:28:23. > :28:26.horizontal speed and take off. But not the distance required. 6.82 plus

:28:26. > :28:33.to get a medal and that is not happening at the moment for the

:28:33. > :28:41.British record-holder. So Shara Proctor, 6.56, two jumps to go for

:28:41. > :28:49.GABBY LOGAN: Still in the hunt, but she still got a chance and she is

:28:49. > :28:51.looking good and relaxed. Let's talk a bit more about the 800m. Osagie is

:28:51. > :28:57.through and generally the field, going into these finals, it looked

:28:57. > :29:04.wide open. You feel different now, Paula? No, I still feel it is very

:29:05. > :29:09.wide open. For me, Bosse is looking good for France. I think they

:29:09. > :29:16.believe they will go out, as well as Mohammed Aman. And Nick said there,

:29:16. > :29:26.he believes that Souleiman will take it out and that will suit him. The

:29:26. > :29:31.

:29:31. > :29:34.final. The brutality of coming fourth, fifth, sixth. But Osagie,

:29:34. > :29:40.his time as we know last year in London in other Olympic Games would

:29:40. > :29:43.have got him a gold in other games. What can he produce in the final?

:29:43. > :29:48.will have to see how well he can recover, that is what he has not

:29:48. > :29:53.been able to do, so he is coming in off limited training and that will

:29:53. > :29:58.affect his ability to recover and come back for the next race. But

:29:58. > :30:02.Andrew runs very well. So he is not somebody who takes a long time to

:30:03. > :30:08.work back into form. Hopefully that will set him in good stead. It is

:30:08. > :30:13.whether he can recover because he will need to run faster. We said

:30:13. > :30:16.yesterday, he is a championship performer, he seems to rise on these

:30:17. > :30:22.occasions, he can dig in and get that little bit extra, perhaps his

:30:22. > :30:26.training does not say he will deliver that. It is the confidence

:30:26. > :30:30.and that attitude, that he can be better than he thinks he is despite

:30:30. > :30:37.not having done the work. Like Paula says, it is the recovery and that

:30:37. > :30:41.way he can move on to move and Bracewell. He has done himself

:30:41. > :30:45.justice, it is not easy to come off injury and come into this arena and

:30:45. > :30:48.he has acquitted himself well. about mental balance, knowing you

:30:48. > :30:52.have not done the work and not letting it get to you, not thinking

:30:52. > :30:55.about what you haven't done but thinking about what you have done. I

:30:55. > :30:59.think Andrew is very good at that and will be good at casting his mind

:30:59. > :31:03.back to last year and what he felt like and how he felt when he was in

:31:03. > :31:06.that shape and maybe trying to drag some of that out of the muscle

:31:06. > :31:09.memory. He has not been able to really do the work but he is not

:31:09. > :31:13.running on that, he is going out there and giving it all he can.

:31:13. > :31:19.may hear in the background, the Russian anthem, the first medal, the

:31:20. > :31:24.gold medal today which was won by the 20 kilometre walk and the you

:31:24. > :31:29.might see him in the background, the crowd enjoying that. Definitely more

:31:29. > :31:34.of them this evening. If you cannot come out for what is a blue riband

:31:34. > :31:39.event, the men's 100m final, then when will you come out? And they are

:31:39. > :31:45.very much enjoying that God Idol. Congratulations to Alexander Ivanov

:31:45. > :31:51.there. -- very much enjoying that gold medal. One name on that team

:31:52. > :31:57.sheet, Tirunesh Dibaba on that team sheet. She has never lost this.

:31:57. > :32:00.is deja vu from last night for what we saw with Mo Farah. Tirunesh

:32:00. > :32:05.Dibaba has not lost a competition and she is coming in in good shape.

:32:05. > :32:09.We would like to have seen her race against Meseret Defar, but all this

:32:09. > :32:12.came in from the Ethiopian team camp that they were not going to be

:32:12. > :32:16.having too much strength in depth and they did not want at least 200

:32:16. > :32:21.and Tirunesh Dibaba is saying she would like to come up and run but as

:32:21. > :32:25.it is, she is only able to do a ten. That makes it more of a dead cert

:32:25. > :32:35.because she will go out and stamped herself on this race. She will not

:32:35. > :32:37.

:32:37. > :32:44.save anything that he has not got. Be 400m semifinals are upon us

:32:44. > :32:49.shortly. Christine Loroupe do is going in the second. The thing for

:32:49. > :32:55.Christine O'Hare Rubio is getting a very good lane draw for the final.

:32:55. > :33:03.She will go out all guns blazing. Christine will know out how we

:33:03. > :33:09.normally see her run. She will bring it home. I think she will note that

:33:09. > :33:14.she has a pretty good line there. Natasha Hastings has run

:33:15. > :33:24.fractionally quicker than her. And Williams has finished in umpteen

:33:25. > :33:25.

:33:25. > :33:32.World Championship finals, and shows she -- so she just has to run a

:33:32. > :33:42.confident race. Christine manages to peek her Championship seasons to

:33:42. > :33:49.

:33:49. > :33:59.perhaps the best of the athletes... They are flying in this race.

:33:59. > :34:01.

:34:01. > :34:06.Williams. Christine Ohuruogu trying to get amongst the medals. Nicola

:34:06. > :34:10.Sanders. Will Williams get to the line Xu Christine Ohuruogu is

:34:10. > :34:20.perhaps going to get there. Christine hurriedly is the world

:34:20. > :34:31.

:34:31. > :34:41.champion! -- Christine a horrid to British point of view for Christine

:34:41. > :34:42.

:34:42. > :34:52.Ohuruogu. This year in Monaco, Mont show got the fastest time in the

:34:52. > :34:52.

:34:52. > :34:56.world. It was a dramatic finish in the last World Championships. George

:34:56. > :35:05.used to compete for the United States. She is running now for

:35:06. > :35:12.Nigeria. I think the 20k balking ceremony for the Russian champion a

:35:12. > :35:22.fewer moments ago got the crowd in a spicy mood and they have got this to

:35:22. > :35:50.

:35:50. > :35:58.watch. This is pretty sure Hall, the is still the woman to beat, though.

:35:58. > :36:08.The first two go through automatically, and then the next

:36:08. > :36:29.

:36:29. > :36:39.Amantle Montsho. Ashleigh Spencer is left with a bit of work to do. It

:36:39. > :36:45.

:36:45. > :36:50.may well be to in -- be between these two. Patricia Hall is losing a

:36:51. > :36:58.bit of ground. George is there in third place but only the first two

:36:59. > :37:07.go through automatically. And Montsho, look at the clock above

:37:07. > :37:15.49.57. It is very quick. Those are here credentials. She will be very

:37:15. > :37:25.difficult to beat in the final, into which she has emphatically moved.

:37:25. > :37:27.

:37:27. > :37:32.Well, we know all about Montsho, don't we? I think this year we are

:37:32. > :37:42.seeing a well judged season. I think we are seeing an athlete at the top

:37:42. > :37:43.

:37:43. > :37:50.of her game. Christine always tends to go through the lanes that. That

:37:50. > :37:56.looked comfortable, 49.57. Despite our obvious buyers towards

:37:56. > :38:02.Christine, this is so impressive. She looks relaxed on the home

:38:02. > :38:12.straight. She is moving away from the rest of the field. She is moving

:38:12. > :38:13.

:38:13. > :38:23.with a nice, even pace. That is going to worry everybody. Steve is

:38:23. > :38:28.

:38:28. > :38:38.saying it was so impressive, you ask final and hopefully I can have a

:38:38. > :38:44.good lane tomorrow. In Britain we are all wanting Montsho do well. She

:38:44. > :38:50.talked recently about how friendly you are. She comes to chat with you

:38:50. > :38:58.and talk about the races. I like Christine. We are looking forward to

:38:58. > :39:08.a great final between hopefully herself and you tomorrow. Hopefully.

:39:08. > :39:12.

:39:12. > :39:19.final. Shara Proctor, the British record-holder, needing something

:39:19. > :39:28.really big to make an impression but those three lines are showing the

:39:28. > :39:33.scores of Whitney Rees, blessing argot Ari and said Rover. -- V3

:39:33. > :39:39.scores of the top three athletes. If she can reproduce the sort of form

:39:39. > :39:43.she sought yesterday in qualifying she could be in with the chance of a

:39:43. > :39:50.medal. She is in third place for a couple of rounds but her chances of

:39:50. > :39:55.a medal of being eroded, first of all by a Belarusian and then by a

:39:55. > :40:05.Russian. The USA are well in the lead, Rigney Rees going for a

:40:05. > :40:17.

:40:17. > :40:27.hat-trick of the is. -- the American vault in this qualifying

:40:27. > :40:30.

:40:30. > :40:37.competition. And she sails over. She has competed sparingly this year.

:40:37. > :40:41.She weather the Shanghai Diamond League. And recently she weather the

:40:42. > :40:50.Russian championships. She is in shape. She has been doing some

:40:50. > :41:00.staggering performances in training. We have to watch her do her final

:41:00. > :41:02.

:41:02. > :41:11.but she is on her way. I am short she must have noticed what Montsho

:41:11. > :41:18.did. Only Montsho has run faster in the world this year. Christine

:41:18. > :41:23.Ohuruogu has had several races this year. She has attained a level of

:41:23. > :41:28.consistency that she has not always board to championships. She says she

:41:28. > :41:32.has been having a bit of fun this year but that is good fun to have

:41:32. > :41:42.when you are running so well. to clear up the results of the first

:41:42. > :41:43.

:41:43. > :41:53.heat, Montsho very comfortable. And Ryzhova also goes through. We may

:41:53. > :41:55.

:41:55. > :42:04.also see George in the final. personal-best behind the top two.

:42:04. > :42:10.There is the line-up. Thiam is a former world champion. Christine is

:42:10. > :42:20.in the lane four. Hastings of the USA, perhaps her biggest rival, is

:42:20. > :42:32.

:42:32. > :42:36.brilliantly. She ran so well indoors in Birmingham. She ran 50.88. You

:42:36. > :42:46.thought, will she be the number one going into the World Championships

:42:46. > :42:48.

:42:48. > :42:55.eMac she has only once been under 50 seconds this year. She never runs

:42:55. > :43:04.under 50 until the championships, Christine, and usually in the final.

:43:04. > :43:12.Her heat yesterday was the fastest she has ever run in a heat. She

:43:12. > :43:16.qualified for the final 50.2 yesterday. I do not think anyone in

:43:16. > :43:26.British athletics in recent years has judged her past championships

:43:26. > :43:45.

:43:45. > :43:55.make another final. She has done well to get in the semifinal, I

:43:55. > :43:57.

:43:57. > :44:07.think. Outside her, 25-year-old Serksniene of Lithuania. She is an

:44:07. > :44:08.

:44:08. > :44:15.improving athlete. Libania Grenot. Former Cuban. Now running for Italy.

:44:15. > :44:23.Christine is not yet the British record-holder. That is Cathy Cook.

:44:23. > :44:28.49.43. You think if she is going to challenge Montsho, she needs that

:44:28. > :44:36.kind of time in her sights. She needs to beat Hastings here. The

:44:36. > :44:46.American champion. No Richards Ross. She is due an operation on her toe.

:44:46. > :44:51.

:44:51. > :45:01.No doubt she will be back next year. Novlene Williams-Mills. Their bronze

:45:01. > :45:14.

:45:14. > :45:20.medal behind Christine for Sanders go through and the two fastest

:45:20. > :45:30.losers. The final tomorrow. Three actor back races first day yesterday

:45:30. > :45:36.of the championships. The team captain for Great Britain. She just

:45:36. > :45:42.needs to win this semifinal, whatever style she fancies. She has

:45:42. > :45:52.got Hastings to go after and Novlene Williams-Mills of Jamaican in lanes

:45:52. > :46:16.

:46:16. > :46:17.starts rather circumspect Lee. Hastings started very quickly.

:46:17. > :46:23.Novlene Willams-Mills realises the American is with her already.

:46:23. > :46:28.Hastings really has taken it to them. Christine can feel that the

:46:29. > :46:34.Italian has moved inside her as well. She has a lot of ground to

:46:34. > :46:39.make up, with her two main rivals beside her. She is a long way

:46:39. > :46:47.behind. Hastings has the lead. Christine Ohuruogu has some work to

:46:47. > :46:52.do. She has to finish in the top two. Winning would be ideal. Here is

:46:52. > :47:02.that familiar surge of Christine Ohuruogu. Timed perfectly. Timed

:47:02. > :47:04.

:47:05. > :47:12.brilliantly. Wow. Almost a personal best, not far off it. She normally

:47:12. > :47:15.wait until the final. That, in the semifinal, that was perfect

:47:15. > :47:23.judgement for Christine Ohuruogu. She might want to give a wink and a

:47:23. > :47:28.nod to Natasha Hastings, because she led it out so hard. If you did not

:47:28. > :47:32.know how Christine Ohuruogu RAM, you would be feeling for her here, but

:47:32. > :47:42.it was as inevitable as the coming of the tide, the strong finish of

:47:42. > :47:42.

:47:42. > :47:46.Christine Ohuruogu. Only on three occasions before this has she run

:47:46. > :47:56.under 50 seconds. But once again, she timed it perfectly. And to beat

:47:56. > :48:00.

:48:00. > :48:04.Hastings as well, this finish was a beauty. I have watched Christine so

:48:04. > :48:11.many times, and I was surprised when I looked at the clock. She was

:48:11. > :48:13.obviously working around that cockpit, but she always does. You

:48:13. > :48:20.are thinking she is against world-class athletes, but at this

:48:20. > :48:27.point, she makes them look ordinary. I was expecting the clock to stop at

:48:27. > :48:32.about 50, 50.1. It is 49.75. I talked about the record of Cathy

:48:33. > :48:42.Cook, and it is within range. But more importantly for Christine, she

:48:43. > :48:46.

:48:46. > :48:51.is within range of Montreal. We have Andrew said it well. If you did not

:48:51. > :48:56.know the way Christine runs, you may have been panicking. You two are so

:48:56. > :49:05.seasoned at watching her that you were fine, but why do we ever

:49:05. > :49:10.worry? That finish always comes am in this kind of form, and I think

:49:10. > :49:16.I can get rid of the final. As Steve said, she may have to break a record

:49:16. > :49:22.if she wants to get gold. If she wants to win, yes. I was watching

:49:22. > :49:25.her going through the first 200 metres, and she is so good at

:49:26. > :49:32.running and even paced race. She is not the fastest in the field over

:49:33. > :49:37.the 200 metres, so she goes through at a sedate pace. So it still leaves

:49:37. > :49:42.her a lot of energy left at the end. Around the bend at the end, she

:49:42. > :49:46.really believes in herself. She sees the athletes, but she knows that if

:49:46. > :49:50.she just extends her stride length, she doesn't have to go for speed.

:49:50. > :49:55.She just opens up her stride length, keeps the shoulders relaxed, and

:49:55. > :50:05.that always calls her through. Everybody else runs a quite

:50:05. > :50:08.

:50:08. > :50:15.imbalanced first 200 metres. just has a natural pace. The key for

:50:15. > :50:19.any athlete at this stage is to not try and find that seventh gear,

:50:19. > :50:22.where you are completely flat out, and just stay relaxed. It takes

:50:22. > :50:32.great composure and confident in your ability to know that you can

:50:32. > :50:35.

:50:35. > :50:39.just stride it out. It hardly looks like Montsho is breeding. She is the

:50:39. > :50:44.one to beat. She looks outstanding. It is the third semifinal coming

:50:44. > :50:51.up, with the Russian and un-American. Let's go back down to

:50:51. > :51:01.Steve and Andrew. Yes, who do and Montsho were so

:51:01. > :51:02.

:51:02. > :51:12.impressive. -- Ohuruogu and Montsho were so impressive.

:51:12. > :51:15.

:51:15. > :51:25.This is the last round. It has been a very high-class final. If anybody

:51:25. > :51:34.

:51:35. > :51:43.wants a medal, though, they have to Klishina is always very graceful,

:51:43. > :51:50.but deceptively powerful on the runaway. The Serbian has taken her

:51:50. > :51:58.last round jump with a new Serbian national record, but that look is

:51:58. > :52:08.ominous by Klishina. 6.70, so not far enough for the Russian number

:52:08. > :52:10.

:52:10. > :52:19.one. So Klishina finishes without a medal. Next, it is all about Great

:52:20. > :52:24.Britain and Shara Proctor. She came here as the top qualifier. She did

:52:24. > :52:28.6.85 yesterday. She looked superb. What has she got in the last round?

:52:29. > :52:34.She wants the support of the crowd. She is going to have support, no

:52:34. > :52:41.doubt about that. Come on. There is a medal in it for you if you can get

:52:41. > :52:47.a good jump away. Oh, she gave it absolutely everything. Is she saying

:52:47. > :52:53.she went over the board? The white flag does go up. She did not look

:52:53. > :53:03.too confident about the distance, did she? Doesn't seem terribly

:53:03. > :53:10.

:53:10. > :53:15.impressed. Brittney Reese did 7.01. Looks as if she's going to win a

:53:16. > :53:25.hat-trick of the is unless her opponent can do anything about it.

:53:26. > :53:30.

:53:30. > :53:40.Shara Proctor, 6.69. She will finish in sixth place.

:53:40. > :54:07.

:54:07. > :54:14.Before Shara Proctor, you heard the show their hands. The home crowd

:54:14. > :54:20.will be inspired. Two to go through automatically, and then the next two

:54:20. > :54:30.fastest. They go through to tomorrow's final. The German is in

:54:30. > :54:32.

:54:32. > :54:41.lane two, the Jamaican in lane three. The American is in lane five.

:54:41. > :54:50.The Ukrainian athlete is in lane six. And the Nigerian is in lane

:54:50. > :55:00.eight. Krivoshapka being shown on the big screen, and so there is a

:55:00. > :55:07.

:55:07. > :55:17.swell of noise. The last semifinal in the women's 400 metres. Those

:55:17. > :55:21.

:55:22. > :55:24.three women in lanes three, four and five are the ones to watch. The

:55:24. > :55:31.Jamaican, the Russian and the American are looking good at the

:55:32. > :55:41.moment. So is the Ukrainian. Two to go through automatically. The

:55:42. > :55:43.

:55:43. > :55:53.challenge has been laid down by Christine Ohuruogu and by Montsho.

:55:53. > :55:58.In lane three, Stefanie McPherson, the Jamaican, leading. Krivoshapka

:55:58. > :56:08.trying to get that, but the Russian may be disappointed. On the line,

:56:08. > :56:10.

:56:10. > :56:19.just. It is going to be close for Russian hopes. Another very good

:56:19. > :56:23.race for the American. A very good race between these three. High

:56:23. > :56:33.quality races, producing brilliant performances. McCrory did a new

:56:33. > :56:35.

:56:35. > :56:42.personal best. McPherson, who had run a great race, just ties up.

:56:42. > :56:46.Krivoshapka kept going right to the line. A sub 50 talking for her as

:56:46. > :56:54.well. She will join them as the fastest loser, but what a great set

:56:54. > :57:03.of semifinals we have just had. Very high quality. Even though this was

:57:03. > :57:08.some 50, it was not in the class of Ohuruogu and Montsho. Everyone was

:57:08. > :57:14.ahead of Krivoshapka at this point, but she don't keep, and the crowd

:57:14. > :57:22.helped her, and she made it by the skin of her teeth. She goes through

:57:22. > :57:32.as the fastest loser. That is yet to be confirmed. She was ruled out of

:57:32. > :57:40.

:57:40. > :57:45.the two automatic qualifiers, but Last chance for this wonderful

:57:45. > :57:51.Nigerian athletes, Blessing Okagbare. What has she done here?

:57:51. > :58:01.The whitefly nose up. It is going to be some close. -- the white flag

:58:01. > :58:02.

:58:02. > :58:09.goes up. Brittney Reese may have won her third consecutive world outdoor

:58:09. > :58:13.title. But what an athlete Blessing Okagbare is. If somebody could get

:58:13. > :58:23.called of her in terms of technique, her long jump would be out of sight.

:58:23. > :58:25.

:58:25. > :58:31.She is so fast. But draw in terms of talent and technique on the runway.

:58:31. > :58:39.A lot of people think she could win the 100 metres tomorrow. No doubt

:58:39. > :58:43.about the talent you just saw. She was three centimetres shy of her

:58:43. > :58:48.previous performance, so the medals are confirmed. There is your

:58:48. > :58:58.three-time champion of the USA. What can she do with this very last jump

:58:58. > :59:00.

:59:00. > :59:06.of the competition? Oh, my goodness. It is a red flag. A real anti-climax

:59:06. > :59:12.for the crowd. They thought they had seen something very special indeed.

:59:12. > :59:18.But no doubt about the special qualities of Whitney Rees. --

:59:18. > :59:23.Whitney Rees. It is a big disappointment for Shara Proctor,

:59:23. > :59:28.having led the qualifiers. She did a similar thing in the Olympic final,

:59:28. > :59:34.when she finished in ninth place. At least this time, she contested all

:59:34. > :59:37.six jumps of this final and finished in sixth place. Still our best

:59:37. > :59:42.performer in world championship history was a fourth place by Jade

:59:42. > :59:48.Johnson, remember her? In Paris in 2003. But Brittney Reese is a

:59:48. > :59:57.wonderful champion. Olympic champion and three times a world champion,

:59:57. > :00:07.to. Again, she will go to the top of the rostrum. She is proving to be

:00:07. > :00:10.

:00:10. > :00:20.unbeatable in the big events. And what a talent blessing had Ari is.

:00:20. > :00:24.

:00:24. > :00:31.consecutive gold medal in the women's long jump. Blessing

:00:31. > :00:41.Okagbare, one of three medals she could win here. And Ivana Spanovic

:00:41. > :00:44.

:00:44. > :00:52.has a new Serbian record. Well, everybody in this stadium has had a

:00:52. > :01:02.long day but the longest belongs to the deck athletes. The first event

:01:02. > :01:07.

:01:07. > :01:13.on day two is the 110m hurdles. The fastest clocking was 13.72. That was

:01:13. > :01:21.another score of over 1000 points for this multi-event magician.

:01:21. > :01:31.Freimuth, though went a little bit further in the second round of the

:01:31. > :01:35.

:01:35. > :01:41.discus. 48.74. He was lifted up into the top three. Then the pole vault.

:01:41. > :01:51.Eaton was first. He went clear. There is nothing this young man

:01:51. > :01:56.

:01:56. > :02:01.cannot do. But pride of place went to a Russian in the pole vault, and

:02:01. > :02:07.he got a whole hat full of points and she is from a half empty

:02:07. > :02:14.stadium. They certainly enjoyed much performance from the youngster.

:02:14. > :02:24.Social never moved up into fifth place with that performance. -- so

:02:24. > :02:33.

:02:33. > :02:42.the Russian moved up into fifth status as the world's best all-round

:02:42. > :02:48.athlete with this throw. That was one of his best ever to confirm his

:02:48. > :02:56.status as the top athlete leading into the final event. So there we

:02:56. > :03:04.are, the leader, 168 points ahead of Michael Schrader. Damian Warner is a

:03:04. > :03:08.little way behind. At this stage it looks, even with the 1500m to come,

:03:09. > :03:17.as if the medals have been decided. Just to clear up who has made it to

:03:17. > :03:21.the final of the women's 400m. There is the line-up. Two Jamaicans, two

:03:21. > :03:28.rations and two Americans. And two outstanding favourites, Montsho and

:03:28. > :03:38.horror do. It is going to be some final tomorrow night. -- Montsho and

:03:38. > :03:47.

:03:47. > :03:52.watch when those guys look themselves around the 1500m. Ashton

:03:52. > :03:56.Eaton is an incredible athlete. And he does not seem to have the stature

:03:56. > :04:02.to produce what he does. He is not coming into this competition in

:04:02. > :04:11.brilliant shape but he has commanded it from the world though. -- from

:04:11. > :04:17.the word go. Let's talk a bit about the long jump. It was not to be for

:04:17. > :04:22.Shara Proctor, finishing in sixth in the end. Will she be disappointed?

:04:22. > :04:27.With the way she jumped tonight? think so, because you always reflect

:04:27. > :04:32.what he did the day before when you do not achieve a little better when

:04:32. > :04:37.it really matters. Just looking at all the jobs we saw, she never

:04:37. > :04:44.seemed like she was relaxed down the runway. -- all the long jumps we

:04:44. > :04:49.saw. She had a little bit too much tension in her shoulders. She was

:04:50. > :04:54.working too hard to get back to jump in. This is what sometimes happens

:04:54. > :05:02.when you note you are in good shape and you know what you are capable of

:05:02. > :05:10.doing. That last jump, she threw everything at it. It is easier said

:05:10. > :05:17.than done, just relax. Exactly. Athletics is about finding that

:05:17. > :05:21.relaxation, no matter what event you are doing. When your are tight, the

:05:21. > :05:31.body restricts itself. She will be disappointed. She is better than

:05:31. > :05:33.

:05:33. > :05:43.bad. 6.79 is well within herself and had she jumped a little bit further

:05:43. > :05:46.she would have been in bronze medal position. J Johnson says she was not

:05:47. > :05:55.wanting to be known as somebody who did not get among the medal

:05:55. > :06:01.positions. Yes, but Shari is a better jumper than Jade was. --

:06:01. > :06:06.Shara Proctor. She has to pull herself up from this. You cannot

:06:06. > :06:13.keep failing at championships, because that will mess with her

:06:13. > :06:20.psyche as well. And Whitney Rees, we should just give her a pat on the

:06:20. > :06:27.back. -- Brittney Reese. She knows how to pull it out. She got it by

:06:27. > :06:34.the skin of her teeth into the final. Yes, she did, as James did in

:06:34. > :06:39.the 800m, and she magically pulled it out. She came into this

:06:39. > :06:44.competition very unsure. We could not hang the gold medal around her

:06:44. > :06:49.neck as we could with some of the other great champions we have seen,

:06:49. > :06:53.so to pull out a seven metre jump when it really matters, it just

:06:53. > :07:00.shows what a true champion she is. We have seen some archive footage

:07:00. > :07:05.from the 1980 Olympic Games. It stands out for all kinds of reasons,

:07:05. > :07:12.the boycott by the USA, the gold-medal winning performances I be

:07:12. > :07:22.British athletes... Two roommates met up for us. One is Brendan

:07:22. > :07:22.

:07:23. > :07:32.Foster. One is said Coe. -- Sebastian Proedl. -- Sebastian

:07:33. > :07:43.

:07:43. > :07:48.and our grandchildren that we did it right. You talk without doubt about

:07:48. > :07:55.inspiring a generation because that is what it has always been about for

:07:55. > :08:05.you. Yes. I joined a local club because of what I saw in the 1968

:08:05. > :08:06.

:08:06. > :08:13.games. The trip round with the medals and by Olympic interest was

:08:13. > :08:23.fired by those two. In 1976 's I watched it with the view that it was

:08:23. > :08:24.

:08:24. > :08:30.probably going to be my turn next. We shared a room in Prague in 1976.

:08:30. > :08:40.The 800m, your first major clash against the man who became your big

:08:40. > :08:41.

:08:41. > :08:50.rival. COMMENTATOR: Sebastian Coe has not before met his major

:08:50. > :09:00.European rival in a brain track event ever. I always remember there

:09:00. > :09:05.

:09:05. > :09:12.is just a moment where he came past me when he did actually smile.

:09:12. > :09:20.Sebastian Coe is third. We know Moscow was a personal trial for

:09:20. > :09:28.you. It was direct pressure because you were the man. Yes, and I was

:09:28. > :09:34.also quite outspoken. Are you still hoping to go to Moscow? That is what

:09:34. > :09:40.I am training for. Mercifully, our federation was tough

:09:41. > :09:45.and said, no, we are going. It does not mean we condone the system but

:09:45. > :09:51.it might mean that we are ultimately in the infancy of change. I think if

:09:51. > :09:56.we had not gone to the games that would have counted against us. It

:09:56. > :10:01.would have been very difficult for us to stand up and talk about our

:10:01. > :10:07.passion as a nation for the Olympic movement, having actually sat out of

:10:07. > :10:14.the games because of political pressure. Let's look at the 800m.

:10:14. > :10:18.The pressure we have talked about in athletics. You are a certain. I just

:10:18. > :10:25.caught leaving the village you were a little confused that day about the

:10:25. > :10:33.800m. It was probably a mixture of things, inexperience, it was a blood

:10:33. > :10:38.that of a race as well. Talk about redefining the arms race. You were

:10:38. > :10:42.not doing anything. No, I am a bystander here but Steve wrapped the

:10:42. > :10:49.race by the scruff of the neck and he won it and it was not pretty but

:10:49. > :10:59.that is what he did. COMMENTATOR: Taking the gold medal for Great

:10:59. > :11:01.

:11:01. > :11:09.Britain, to beat Sebastian Coe who gets this also. That was your glory

:11:09. > :11:15.day and you did nothing right. everything wrong! You stood up for

:11:15. > :11:23.the silver medal. It was not quite your most gracious few minutes, was

:11:23. > :11:31.it? I have run faster in training. They were difficult days but they

:11:31. > :11:40.were the making or potentially raking of Sebastian Coe the athlete.

:11:40. > :11:49.I remember waking up the following morning after I had lost the 800m. I

:11:49. > :11:56.was asked, argue all right? I asked what the weather was like and my

:11:56. > :12:00.fellow team-mate said, it all looks a bit silver to me. It was nice

:12:00. > :12:08.because people did not well on it and it was not really what you or

:12:08. > :12:13.Dave Thompson -- Daley Thompson all my coach... And I kept reminding

:12:13. > :12:22.myself I was lucky. I had my chance two or three days later to resurrect

:12:22. > :12:30.this. I just woke up feeling different. COMMENTATOR: Sebastian

:12:30. > :12:36.Proedl my the only thing I knew when I went into that race was by did not

:12:36. > :12:46.want to walk off the track feeling as bad as I did in the 800m.

:12:46. > :12:46.

:12:46. > :12:52.You were in the race. Coming to remind us, I am still here.

:12:52. > :12:59.Sebastian Coe in second place. Aren't you believing now you are

:12:59. > :13:09.going to win this? Yes. Once you hit the front line there is no going

:13:09. > :13:11.

:13:11. > :13:20.back anyway. Strong on the far side. And Sebastian Coe gets the revenge

:13:20. > :13:27.he wants. You are better with a gold medal around your neck, aren't you?

:13:27. > :13:33.You are happier. It is funny, that. A question I think you weren't asked

:13:33. > :13:37.me in an interview, would I have gone on training as hard as I did

:13:37. > :13:47.for 1984 had I not come out of it on the right side in 1980. I do not

:13:47. > :13:52.know. The picture of you crossing the line tells the hell of a story.

:13:52. > :13:56.It sums up the games, fear, elation, terror of what you have just been

:13:56. > :14:06.through, and coming out with the lead. The terror of what you have

:14:06. > :14:11.

:14:12. > :14:17.been through. I think that actually and enjoying this Championships as a

:14:17. > :14:22.four-year, not having to go through the stress, Paula, that he did in

:14:22. > :14:28.1980. It must be an incredible trip down memory lane coming back into

:14:28. > :14:35.Luzhniki Stadium. Even talking to Renton about it will bring it all

:14:35. > :14:45.back. He has to work on his biometrics up the steps. He looked

:14:45. > :14:45.

:14:45. > :14:50.quite bouncy for a man of his age! He is definitely enjoying relaxing

:14:50. > :14:55.and watching the athletics, taking it all in. I always felt in London

:14:55. > :14:59.that he seemed to be enjoying it almost too much for someone who had

:14:59. > :15:05.the pressure of organising the Olympic Games but he loves to sports

:15:05. > :15:12.and he relishes it. You have nailed it. He loves track and field and

:15:12. > :15:19.works passionately for it. That is why he was so proud of the Olympics.

:15:19. > :15:24.I think that is why he said the 800m was the race of the meeting. That is

:15:24. > :15:29.also white we would lobby for him to come in and take over as president

:15:29. > :15:35.because he is very good in that role come at the IAAF. Our sport needs

:15:35. > :15:40.someone like him. He genuinely does care and that is what you need for

:15:40. > :15:46.someone who is going to be... not a power broker for the sake of

:15:46. > :15:49.power. He is passionate and caring and loves it. He will be on his feet

:15:49. > :15:55.like the rest of us and he appreciates all the global

:15:55. > :16:03.performances as well. Rae we feel that our sport has given us so much

:16:03. > :16:11.and we want to share it with so many people. That is the essence of his

:16:11. > :16:17.speech. We want kids coming through to understand what athletics is.

:16:17. > :16:25.Shara Proctor is talking to our reporter.

:16:25. > :16:31.You gave it everything, but it was not meant to be. I gave it my all.

:16:31. > :16:38.Unfortunately for me, I cramped up all of a sudden. I was not able to

:16:38. > :16:48.jump with my best potential. I gave it my all, and there was nothing I

:16:48. > :16:49.

:16:49. > :16:56.could have done. So was it bad news that put you in a bad mindset?

:16:56. > :17:03.mean, the first jump, I was feeling good. After that, every push, my

:17:03. > :17:08.calves just cramped up. I couldn't have done nothing to help it.

:17:08. > :17:13.what you did in qualifying yesterday. Was it in your mind that

:17:13. > :17:19.you would need seven metres to medal tonight 's that was in the back of

:17:19. > :17:24.my mind, but I was prepared to come here and give it my all. I knew

:17:24. > :17:28.those seven metres would be the distance in order to medal. It did

:17:28. > :17:34.not happen. I am sure it will come in the future. We appreciate you

:17:34. > :17:40.talking to us. Definitely. I still have a season left, so I am not done

:17:40. > :17:45.yet. We are about an hour away from that

:17:45. > :17:51.man, Justin Gatlin, taking to the stadium and getting settled in the

:17:51. > :17:55.blocks for the 100 metres final with Usain Bolt. We will see him as one

:17:55. > :18:02.of his main rivals, if not the main rival to him winning another world

:18:02. > :18:05.global gold medal. He did not win in Daegu. You sense that he wants to

:18:05. > :18:12.get back to the top of the tree and declare himself world champion once

:18:12. > :18:20.more. This is the final 1500 metres of the decathlon. Ashton Eaton has

:18:20. > :18:26.pretty much got things sewn up. He is 168 points ahead going into this.

:18:26. > :18:35.There they are, waiting like caged lions. Just to the left of us,

:18:35. > :18:41.behind those advertising hordes -- hoardings. Some of them call it the

:18:41. > :18:44.dreaded 1500 metres at the end of two days of the machine competition.

:18:44. > :18:54.The man shaking hands with everybody is Suarez, twice the Olympic bronze

:18:54. > :18:55.

:18:55. > :19:05.medallist. He did a huge javelin throw. All the main contenders are

:19:05. > :19:05.

:19:05. > :20:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:20:13. > :20:23.there. But Ashton Eaton is the in the world record and is leading

:20:23. > :20:24.

:20:24. > :20:30.by a long way here. He is 168 points ahead of everybody. Leonel Suarez

:20:30. > :20:40.has been there before. What out for the Brazilian when the Olympics go

:20:40. > :20:54.

:20:54. > :21:01.to Rio. He is down in fifth place, he can just try and keep ahead of

:21:01. > :21:07.Rico Freimuth. Warner will be big news next year in Glasgow at the

:21:07. > :21:15.Commonwealth Games. Rico Freimuth comes from a family of multi

:21:15. > :21:22.eventers. And mayor of France. Good all-round athlete -- Kevin mayor of

:21:22. > :21:28.France. So, can anybody other than Ashton Eaton, Michael Schrader or

:21:28. > :21:32.Damian Warner win a medal? I'm not sure. But Ashton Eaton is certainly

:21:32. > :21:40.going to be the champion, providing he completes three and three

:21:40. > :21:47.quarters laps of the track. Ashton Eaton is settling towards the back

:21:47. > :21:52.of the pack at the moment. He will not want to finish as Daley Thompson

:21:52. > :21:58.did sometimes, way at the back of the pack, having done all the hard

:21:58. > :22:03.work beforehand. This guy is a racer. He is a talented 1500 metre

:22:03. > :22:09.runner, and he will want to finish with a flourish. There is warner,

:22:09. > :22:19.currently in bronze medal position, in the rest of Canada as they come

:22:19. > :22:29.

:22:29. > :22:33.into the home straight for the first time. Schrader has got a silver

:22:33. > :22:36.medal if he stays where he is. Denise, you have been watching this

:22:36. > :22:42.competition for the last few days. Give us your impression of the

:22:42. > :22:48.talents of Ashton Eaton. Strong, quick and very level-headed. Two

:22:48. > :22:54.very long days for the decathlon. These guys really embody what it

:22:54. > :23:02.takes to be a great athlete. This man has been there. He missed out

:23:02. > :23:06.last time in Daegu, did not quite get to the gold medal. He came in

:23:06. > :23:16.not great shape, but he is doing the business. And he looks comfortable

:23:16. > :23:16.

:23:16. > :23:24.out there. He knows what to do. could be headed for a score of

:23:25. > :23:31.8800, possibly even a thousand 900. Kevin Mayer is way out in front.

:23:31. > :23:37.Suarez in second place, the Cuban. So it will be a very good score, but

:23:37. > :23:45.nothing compared with the world record he set in June 2012, 9039

:23:45. > :23:52.points. The championship record may be in his sights. That was set by

:23:52. > :23:56.the three-time world champion Thomas for Jack of the Czech Republic in

:23:56. > :24:06.2001 in Edmonton. That was a long time ago. But at the moment, it is

:24:06. > :24:14.Kevin Mayer, Suarez and then Sintnicolaas, the European indoor

:24:14. > :24:22.champion, in third place. It may be Schrader who is currently in fourth

:24:22. > :24:26.place. I have just been told by our statistician that Freimuth,

:24:26. > :24:30.currently in fourth place overall, is falling back. So there is no

:24:30. > :24:39.chance of him making inroads into Damian Warner's bronze medal elect

:24:39. > :24:45.position. The two big men at the front are just easing off a bit.

:24:45. > :24:50.When they come at this time, they will take the bow. There is the

:24:50. > :24:55.champion. He has got a lot in reserve. I am just going back

:24:55. > :25:00.upstairs to talk to Denise. We have seen some great multi eventers in

:25:00. > :25:06.world championship history. It all started in 1983 with Daley Thompson.

:25:06. > :25:10.He was the first world champion in decathlon. And this fella is the

:25:10. > :25:20.latest in a long line of very good Americans. He could go even higher

:25:20. > :25:22.

:25:22. > :25:30.than the world record he set last year. Ashton Eaton, just tracking

:25:30. > :25:34.Schrader in front of him. Sintnicolaas is being taken over by

:25:34. > :25:39.Coertzen, the South African. He is having his moment of glory. At the

:25:39. > :25:45.front, there is a battle going on between Suarez and Warner. They are

:25:45. > :25:51.coming into the home straight. Beg your pardon, not one. Kevin Mayer of

:25:51. > :26:01.France and Suarez. They are being chased down by Sintnicolaas and

:26:01. > :26:03.

:26:03. > :26:09.Coertzen. And Schrader. Suarez will win it. Coertzen second,

:26:09. > :26:14.Sintnicolaas third. And here comes the champion. Warner will win the

:26:14. > :26:24.bronze medal for Canada. Watch out for him next year. And Michael

:26:24. > :26:25.

:26:25. > :26:28.Schrader of Germany will win the bronze. It has been a fascinating

:26:28. > :26:34.two days of competition. Ashton Eaton started it off with the

:26:34. > :26:40.fastest 100 metre clocking yesterday, 10.35, 7.73 in the long

:26:40. > :26:48.jump, 14.39 in the shot, 1.93 in the high jump, but then a cracking 400

:26:48. > :26:52.metres to end day one with a big lead over of the body. 46.02. He

:26:52. > :26:57.dominated at the hurdles, through solidly in the discus, jumped

:26:57. > :27:01.exceptionally in the pole vault and was solid in the javelin. Now he has

:27:01. > :27:08.strolled around three and three quarters laps of the track. It will

:27:08. > :27:13.be interesting to see his final score. We will confirm those results

:27:13. > :27:23.in a while. But Ashton Eaton, Olympic champion last year, world

:27:23. > :27:39.

:27:39. > :27:41.record breaker last year, now is the world champion. Perkovic Sandra

:27:41. > :27:51.Perkovic became Croatia's first-ever Olympic track and field champion

:27:51. > :27:57.

:27:57. > :28:03.last year. She is a real talent. She was the first athlete to throw. That

:28:03. > :28:13.must have put the others on edge a bit, seeing the discus sail out

:28:13. > :28:33.

:28:33. > :28:37.there. That was a cracking start. This is the French record-holder.

:28:37. > :28:47.Looks as though she really got hold of that one. It could be over 65

:28:47. > :28:49.

:28:50. > :28:56.metres. Her coach did not look too impressed. That was more akin to

:28:56. > :29:01.what I would term a German technique. There was no reverse at

:29:01. > :29:07.the end, it was just heaving on that discus, the one kilogram discus,

:29:07. > :29:17.with her left foot jammed into the ground. A very fine throw. She has

:29:17. > :29:18.

:29:18. > :29:24.moved up into second place. Will anybody beat Ashton Eaton in the

:29:24. > :29:30.years to come? He is superb as a multi-event. Surely he can take the

:29:30. > :29:35.world record even higher than he has already.

:29:36. > :29:41.GABBY LOGAN: Ashton Eaton, enjoying his moment. When he crossed the

:29:41. > :29:45.line, I remember Dean Macey saying to me, we are a band of brothers,

:29:45. > :29:50.the Knights of athletics. You can see that in the way they come

:29:50. > :29:54.together. They are with each other for two solid days and they spend so

:29:54. > :30:01.much time ever. You get close to your rivals. It is a lovely moment

:30:01. > :30:04.when it finally comes to an end. is great camaraderie. They spend two

:30:04. > :30:08.days together. Sometimes if they don't have time to go back to the

:30:08. > :30:13.hotels, they stay in the room and they to respect each other, but more

:30:13. > :30:23.importantly, they are trying to beat the event. They know how difficult

:30:23. > :30:29.with that long, drawn-out pole vault. So there is great respect

:30:29. > :30:36.among them. How good can Ashton Eaton get? Paul said the world

:30:36. > :30:43.record must be in his sights. know he is quick. His 100 is great,

:30:43. > :30:48.his long jump is always one of the best. It is his throwing, really. He

:30:48. > :30:52.had just over a 40 metre shot put. That could be better. Discus as

:30:52. > :31:02.well. He's definitely one of the decathletes who uses speed to create

:31:02. > :31:03.

:31:03. > :31:10.an advantage. He has basically got the complete package. He was really

:31:10. > :31:15.strong. You think it is within reach? We don't know when, but I am

:31:15. > :31:18.hoping soon. From one extreme to the other, from the decathlon to the

:31:18. > :31:22.women's ten Cate, they are out on the track at the moment. Tirunesh

:31:22. > :31:26.Dibaba, the outstanding favourite, has run faster than anyone else. She

:31:26. > :31:31.has never been beaten in a championship. Hell would have to

:31:31. > :31:35.freeze over for her to not win this ! That could include for her ! But

:31:35. > :31:40.she is coming in as the favourite. She comes from a long line. She is

:31:40. > :31:50.the cousin of a great runner and she is one of five sisters. She has just

:31:50. > :31:50.

:31:50. > :31:58.won the five and the ten title. She knows she is in shape. As you said,

:31:58. > :32:03.she wanted that chance to run. I would like to see her run fast. She

:32:03. > :32:09.is the world record-holder over the 5000 metres. She has it within her

:32:09. > :32:14.capabilities. I would like to see her put herself into that zone and

:32:15. > :32:24.see what she is capable of. We were hoping for this great head to head,

:32:25. > :32:48.

:32:48. > :32:51.but the Ethiopians desired to give somebody try and do something to

:32:51. > :32:58.take it away from her. But I don't think anybody out there believes

:32:58. > :33:02.they can run away from her. She was just sit quiet, sitcom, stay out of

:33:02. > :33:11.trouble. We will probably not see her right at the back like we did

:33:11. > :33:14.mode last time. It is the rule that the athletes get taken out of the

:33:14. > :33:20.track and marched back in. They have to come in in the line. Did that

:33:20. > :33:30.happen in your day? No. Was we were out, we ran allowed to do stripes

:33:30. > :33:32.

:33:32. > :33:42.and stretch on the grass. They have all been taken to one of the

:33:42. > :34:20.

:34:20. > :34:30.entrances, and they will be marched Tirunesh Dibaba who all eyes will be

:34:30. > :34:30.

:34:30. > :35:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:35:36. > :35:45.on. Let's hand you to Brendan and It is going to be an intriguing

:35:45. > :35:55.ways. You don't see anybody here capable of contributing and shaking

:35:55. > :36:14.

:36:14. > :36:24.the race up. It is not about the times you bring

:36:24. > :36:39.

:36:40. > :36:47.to a Championships, it is not about titles, nobody does it better than

:36:47. > :36:57.Tirunesh Dibaba. Remember, Paris, ten years ago now, she came onto the

:36:57. > :37:05.

:37:05. > :37:09.scene as an 18-year-old. 17. Talking about the weather, you and I are

:37:09. > :37:17.sitting here in our shorts and T-shirt ! It is really muggy

:37:17. > :37:24.tonight. It has been warm and hot. When I met Mo Farah earlier, the

:37:24. > :37:31.first thing he did to me was, God, it was tough. He said it was really

:37:31. > :37:41.hard. There did not seem to be much air in that stadium. You can sense

:37:41. > :37:45.

:37:45. > :37:51.that. It is hot here tonight. There are 25 laps between two nested

:37:51. > :37:56.barber and her fifth world championship gold medal. -- between

:37:56. > :38:02.Tirunesh Dibaba and her fifth world championship gold medal. It is a

:38:02. > :38:06.pretty good crowd in this evening. There is much more interest in

:38:06. > :38:11.tonight's proceedings, particularly for the 100 metre final, of course,

:38:11. > :38:15.which means these women do have a good audience, unlike Mo last

:38:15. > :38:20.night. It does not matter too much. The atmosphere certainly helps, but

:38:20. > :38:24.when you are running the 10,000 metres, I am not sure that the crowd

:38:24. > :38:33.have that much effect. They did for Mo Farah of course last year at the

:38:33. > :38:39.Olympic Games. But for these athletes, it is a real test. It is

:38:39. > :38:48.going to be a tough long-distance race. Incidentally, I was chatting

:38:48. > :38:55.to a friend of yours, who is very close to the Europeans, Kenenisa

:38:55. > :38:59.Bekele and Haile Gebrselassie. He was talking about the marathon. I

:38:59. > :39:06.said, what do you think of one African in the top ten? He said, you

:39:06. > :39:16.commit to try and winning medals. Or do you try and pick off what you can

:39:16. > :39:18.

:39:18. > :39:24.and survive? It is an interesting tactic. This is not a field full of

:39:24. > :39:30.top-level athletes behind Tirunesh Dibaba, she has got an opportunity

:39:30. > :39:33.here and she could make it a test that there are opportunities for

:39:33. > :39:36.people, we always tend to concentrate on the Africans and

:39:36. > :39:41.expect them to come away will all the top places but the marathon show

:39:41. > :39:45.that does not always happen. That is certainly right. Shalane Flanagan,

:39:45. > :39:48.she has come here, she ran the marathon last year in the Olympic

:39:48. > :39:52.games, she is extremely good at 10,000 metres at least decided she

:39:52. > :39:55.will make a go of it and Paula Radcliffe was saying earlier, she

:39:55. > :40:01.wishes somebody would go out and make a race of it. We know that all

:40:01. > :40:09.of us to see hard and fast distance races. And we do as well. Tonight is

:40:09. > :40:16.about medals in the contenders will be interested in times. Her best way

:40:16. > :40:22.of winning a mellow -- Shalane Flanagan possible way of winning is

:40:22. > :40:28.to get a medal, three minutes for the 1,000m, that is the time, so

:40:28. > :40:36.over 30 minute pace, only 31 minute pace. But interestingly, Shalane

:40:36. > :40:40.Flanagan doing it sensibly. I know Paula knows Shalane Flanagan really

:40:40. > :40:47.well and I would imagine Paula, you are pleased to see have a go here

:40:47. > :40:49.even in this early stage, early to go but a bit of a stretch. Yes, but

:40:49. > :40:52.I think Shalane Flanagan watch the marathon yesterday and has realised

:40:52. > :40:58.that she can go out and take advantage. She is also drawing on

:40:58. > :41:01.the fact that she has moved to the marathon recently, she was fourth in

:41:01. > :41:07.the Boston Marathon this year but you may be does not have the pace

:41:07. > :41:12.that she did in 2008 when she ran a totally different race, she sat back

:41:12. > :41:19.in the pack, she was not even sure if she had one at the end before the

:41:19. > :41:28.American trials she ran in Iowa in humid conditions and went out hard.

:41:28. > :41:31.She killed her training partner's chances of finishing up but she

:41:31. > :41:37.handled the humid conditions well and was able to maintain her face

:41:37. > :41:45.and she set out at 30 much on 30 minute pace with a 72 seconds first

:41:45. > :41:51.lap but then slowed down to 78. She maybe has not gone out quite so fast

:41:51. > :41:56.so she seems to be going in and out of place which will surprise other

:41:56. > :42:05.athletes because I don't think they were expecting her to do this.

:42:05. > :42:08.first 1,000m covered in 31.10 pace. The weather forecast update, it has

:42:08. > :42:11.suddenly got cooler, the air has changed and the air has changed and

:42:12. > :42:16.there is thunder and lightning ahead. I am pleased you are

:42:16. > :42:21.reverting to your weather forecasting? A bit of a cool breeze

:42:21. > :42:26.has come in either that or summary has opened the door at the far end.

:42:26. > :42:32.Something we can keep an eye on. It was Andrew Cotter who spotted the

:42:32. > :42:36.lightning actually. Thank you, Andrew. We're looking at Tirunesh

:42:36. > :42:42.Dibaba and when I think about Sunday lunch at the Dibaba house, in Addis

:42:42. > :42:49.Ababa, her husband, double medallist at the Olympic games, her older

:42:49. > :42:56.sister, Levitt -- Olympic silver medallist, and this one Tirunesh

:42:56. > :43:02.Dibaba, the boss of the dynasty, I wonder what they talk about during

:43:02. > :43:12.that Sunday lunch? Maybe athletics? At it they may discuss the Saturday

:43:12. > :43:15.

:43:15. > :43:18.football results! We were talking about games that they have run in,

:43:18. > :43:22.and we know that Tirunesh Dibaba want to do the V5 and the tent. I

:43:23. > :43:27.read a quote from the Ethiopian management. You know it is very

:43:27. > :43:32.tough to run three races in a week but try telling that to Mo Farah.

:43:32. > :43:42.They have done it in the past, they are shown they are capable of it you

:43:42. > :43:49.think, why on earth are they change that tactic? She has the before. The

:43:49. > :43:51.5000 and the 10,000... Meseret Defar sitting watching this race Americans

:43:51. > :43:57.are the 5000 metres, the fastest runner in the world for that

:43:57. > :44:01.distance is Tirunesh Dibaba as you will be watching the 5000 metres.

:44:01. > :44:06.They wanted to do the double but the Ethiopian team management said they

:44:06. > :44:11.can't. In last year in London they did not do a very good job of the

:44:11. > :44:13.men's marathon, they caused a lot of disruption, because the medals they

:44:13. > :44:19.gain in major championships are a currency they measure the success

:44:19. > :44:22.on. It is international sport of athletics, the only sport but they

:44:22. > :44:25.really distinguish themselves in the world. They used to be good at

:44:25. > :44:29.football, they are less good now, they used to be African champions

:44:29. > :44:36.but they are no good at that any moderate distance running, they

:44:36. > :44:46.certainly are. Tirunesh Dibaba, the best of the lot. Flanagan is setting

:44:46. > :44:47.

:44:47. > :44:52.a good pace here. Almost like a metronome. 6.13 through 2k. Hovering

:44:52. > :45:02.outside 31 minute pace and at anyone's standards, that is good.

:45:02. > :45:08.The best in her career is 30 minutes .22 -- 30.22, another flash of

:45:08. > :45:11.lightning and those are ominous dark clouds. It is not just dark because

:45:11. > :45:17.it is night-time, they are dark clouds. And they am looking up right

:45:18. > :45:22.above me, it will be interesting. We have not had any rain since the day

:45:22. > :45:29.I arrived but these 10,000 metres runners would not be too displeased

:45:29. > :45:37.with the current conditions. Flanagan has stretch them out. The

:45:37. > :45:43.Ethiopians there, very comfortable as you would expect. But Flanagan is

:45:43. > :45:45.stretching it out nicely and setting a good pace. The Ethiopian women did

:45:45. > :45:50.not distinguish themselves in the marathon yesterday, they came

:45:50. > :45:54.straight out from Addis Ababa, the altitude makes it difficult but when

:45:54. > :45:58.you come here to Moscow, the humidity is high, they have not been

:45:58. > :46:02.here long at all and I wonder if yesterday in the marathon, the

:46:02. > :46:06.Ethiopian women were expected to do a lot including Tiki Gelana and

:46:06. > :46:10.nothing happened at all, they did not get a medal or anywhere near it,

:46:10. > :46:18.they did not run very well. Earlier today, we saw Mohammed Aman not

:46:18. > :46:21.desperately impressive to me in the 800m. I'd wonder if they got the

:46:21. > :46:29.acclimatisation correct. This is an important event for Tirunesh

:46:29. > :46:35.Dibaba. The Olympic champion. Previously, 5000 metres and 10,000

:46:35. > :46:42.metres champion of the world at the World Championships, she has twice

:46:42. > :46:46.one both events. She loves to compete she was desperately looking

:46:46. > :46:50.forward to racing against Meseret Defar but it makes it a lot easier

:46:50. > :47:00.for Tirunesh Dibaba to try to win this one, Meseret Defar standing in

:47:00. > :47:02.

:47:02. > :47:08.the stands. At the back of the group is the athlete who came back in fine

:47:08. > :47:18.style to regain her cross-country title.

:47:18. > :47:44.

:47:44. > :47:49.distance runners can do. She is running just under 75 second lap.

:47:49. > :47:53.She is running really well. She was a blonde medallist in the Olympic

:47:53. > :47:57.Games in 2008. Then she went up to them Arabs. She has the strength

:47:57. > :48:01.that the marathon brings, but she also has pace and judgement and she

:48:01. > :48:11.knows what she is trying to do. Excellent running so far. She seems

:48:11. > :48:12.

:48:12. > :48:22.to be happy leading. The Japanese athlete know what -- knows what she

:48:22. > :48:26.wants to do. They are all queueing up behind. They don't want to be in

:48:26. > :48:32.front. It is a bit disappointing tonight that there is no British

:48:32. > :48:39.athlete in this event. Last year at the Olympic Games, we had Jo Pavey.

:48:39. > :48:41.She has taken time off to have another baby. Good luck to her. But

:48:41. > :48:48.Julia Bleasdale seems to have vanished from the scene. She did not

:48:48. > :48:51.have a good year this year, but she was promising last year. British

:48:51. > :48:55.distance runners need to be represented in these championships.

:48:55. > :49:04.It was a very good performance by Gemma Steele in the states last

:49:04. > :49:07.week. She might transfer that onto the track in the future. The rain

:49:07. > :49:17.starts to come down here in the stadium. Brendan's point was well

:49:17. > :49:30.

:49:30. > :49:35.made. Niya did this last year at the Olympics. Fukushi won a bronze medal

:49:35. > :49:39.in the marathon. The Japanese nation will be pleased, because they love

:49:39. > :49:42.their distance running, as I'm sure we do in Great Britain. But they

:49:43. > :49:51.seem to be able to get their athletes to the Championships,

:49:51. > :49:59.particularly in the marathon. They have a greater ability to get their

:49:59. > :50:05.10000 and marathon runners supported. When they get to the

:50:05. > :50:08.games, the likes of Niya are not frightened to take this on. When you

:50:08. > :50:18.are running and injure and is race like this in conditions which were

:50:18. > :50:22.

:50:22. > :50:29.difficult and then the pace comes along as it does, you look -- try

:50:29. > :50:32.not to look at the lap score for a bit. Just avoid it, because it is

:50:32. > :50:39.telling you there are 15 laps to go, and they are feeling a little bit

:50:39. > :50:42.tired now. As the race goes on, they will increase in tiredness. It is

:50:42. > :50:48.about concentration and positioning, but it is also about keeping your

:50:48. > :50:53.race plan together. And the race plan is being delivered by these

:50:53. > :51:03.athletes. Flanagan is still at the back of the group. Niya is now doing

:51:03. > :51:04.

:51:04. > :51:10.her share as Tirunesh Dibaba moves close. Niya has only run just inside

:51:10. > :51:16.30 minutes. She is taking them into that sort of territory by upping the

:51:17. > :51:20.basic little. The weather continues to have an effect. You probably saw

:51:20. > :51:28.the flags in the background. We have not had any breeze in the stadium

:51:28. > :51:35.for almost all of the first two days. I am sure the rain will get

:51:35. > :51:40.heavier. There is certainly a much cooler atmosphere, and that will

:51:40. > :51:47.help. I am not sure they will be happy if the wind picks up too

:51:47. > :51:53.much, but if the track is surrounded, there is not much chance

:51:53. > :52:03.for the wind to get down there. This is rave running at this stage --

:52:03. > :52:06.

:52:06. > :52:11.might be thinking about temp two or the rest, when you do this, you are

:52:12. > :52:21.expecting various athletes to drop off the pace. But that is a good

:52:21. > :52:27.performance. There is the evidence. That has been happening for the last

:52:27. > :52:33.ten minutes or so. Steve, I questioned your weather forecasting

:52:33. > :52:42.ability earlier. I apologise. As always, you were right. You have

:52:42. > :52:46.another career to go to. Can't take Reddit. -- credit. I did text one of

:52:46. > :52:56.my colleagues at six this evening and say, might be rain tonight. I

:52:56. > :52:57.

:52:57. > :53:01.will show you it as evidence later. Felix of Portugal is a familiar

:53:01. > :53:10.figure. Good to see them here. Europe has to have representation.

:53:10. > :53:20.It would have been good to see someone from Great Britain here. Amy

:53:20. > :53:27.

:53:27. > :53:37.Hastings of the United States is struggling a bit. The pace is being

:53:37. > :53:45.

:53:45. > :53:51.set by Hitomi Niiya of Japan. The leading group is strung out. Niya

:53:51. > :54:01.still looking good. You can see the rain coming down. Tirunesh Dibaba

:54:01. > :54:05.will be welcoming the cooling effect of that rain. Apart from being a

:54:05. > :54:12.fairly cool athlete in most senses, she is a disc competitor. She

:54:12. > :54:19.positions herself brilliant Lee in races. She will not be desperate for

:54:20. > :54:29.a fast race. Gaps are beginning to open. They are beyond the halfway

:54:29. > :54:37.point. On the far side are the three Kenyan athletes, following the two

:54:37. > :54:43.Ethiopians. One of them has dropped back. Flanagan is dropping off the

:54:43. > :54:53.group. Now the consistent pace of Niya is starting to have a real

:54:53. > :54:57.

:54:57. > :55:07.effect. Shalane Flanagan is having a look at the screen. You can see the

:55:07. > :55:20.

:55:20. > :55:24.effect it is having. 11 laps to go. Niya leads. Dibaba behind her.

:55:24. > :55:29.Well, Paula Radcliffe was a committed front runner on the track

:55:29. > :55:38.in the 5000 and 10,000, and has been in this position many times. What is

:55:38. > :55:44.Niya thinking now, Paula? She is probably happy that Shalane Flanagan

:55:44. > :55:48.went to the front and started setting that pace. Then one by one,

:55:48. > :55:58.athletes were dropping off the pace. So Niya could then inject greater

:55:58. > :56:00.

:56:00. > :56:03.pace. That is hard. It turns this grew even more. Shalane Flanagan

:56:03. > :56:10.paid the price for that. Now she is drifting off the back. She needs to

:56:10. > :56:15.keep focused now. She is very much in no man's land. It looks like

:56:15. > :56:23.Shitaye Eshete will be the next one to drop off. This has been an

:56:23. > :56:27.inspired run from Niya. She has obviously taken inspiration from

:56:27. > :56:34.Fukushi's run yesterday. These are humid conditions. That is one thing

:56:34. > :56:44.we have noticed here. Even running at a slow pace, it feels hard. The

:56:44. > :56:48.air feels heavy. Mo Farah was saying that every lap that went by, he was

:56:49. > :56:53.so happy that it was not going quickly. He was looking forward to

:56:53. > :56:56.having a sprint finish. If there is anyone in this field who is looking

:56:56. > :57:01.forward to a sprint finish, it will be Tirunesh Dibaba will stop

:57:01. > :57:07.outstanding finisher, fantastic athlete. The greatest female

:57:07. > :57:14.distance runner in history, this woman. She became the youngest ever

:57:14. > :57:18.world champion in 2003. Since then, she has gone on AIDS re-of

:57:18. > :57:28.collecting gold medals -- she has collected lots of gold medals. You

:57:28. > :57:30.

:57:30. > :57:36.name it, she has won it. Unusually for a distance runner, the style of

:57:36. > :57:41.them bothers me, but she has a beautiful style. She glides over the

:57:41. > :57:46.track, and that has stood her in good stead. When it comes to the

:57:46. > :57:50.last lap, she runs like a sprinter. Mo Farah said to me this morning how

:57:50. > :57:59.hard it was for him yesterday. This will be starting to hurt Tirunesh

:57:59. > :58:05.Dibaba, that constant 73 seconds pace. There are little gaps between

:58:05. > :58:10.each one. Nobody is pushing and shoving. But Niya is doing a

:58:10. > :58:20.fantastic job. She will be a good marathon runner in the future. She

:58:20. > :58:21.

:58:21. > :58:30.has a good, economical style. The Japanese like distance running, but

:58:30. > :58:36.they love marathon running. Wherever you go in the world, Steve, when the

:58:36. > :58:40.Ethiopians are running, you see the fans come to watch them. On the

:58:40. > :58:44.world stage, it is athletics that brings attention to this country.

:58:44. > :58:49.Haile Gebrselassie, the Emperor of distance running, tells me every

:58:49. > :58:52.time I see him how important these big world events are. Back home in

:58:52. > :58:58.Addis Ababa, they erected big screens in the square and the crowds

:58:58. > :59:05.gather round. There will be cheering for Tirunesh Dibaba. They love her.

:59:05. > :59:13.They don't have celebrity culture like in the Western world, but she

:59:13. > :59:16.is a celebrity. She is a fantastic athlete. I saw pictures of her

:59:16. > :59:22.wedding when she married the Olympic silver medallist. 60,000 people

:59:22. > :59:27.turned up in the stadium to watch her wedding. She is having to work

:59:27. > :59:35.hard, because this is a really good performance by temp won. While you

:59:35. > :59:45.were talking, some of the other athletes have never run this fast

:59:45. > :59:51.

:59:52. > :00:01.for a 10,000 metres. Gladys Cherono slipped by. Niya is doing a cracking

:00:02. > :00:10.

:00:10. > :00:15.job. But that was the slowest lap for a while, a 75. The pressure is

:00:15. > :00:21.rising. One by one, they are grouping of this group. If she keeps

:00:21. > :00:26.this going for another few laps, we might get down to 74. And like

:00:26. > :00:31.yesterday, we were willing the leader to go on and win a medal and

:00:31. > :00:41.she did not win the marathon, the Italian athlete. Today, we will be

:00:41. > :00:48.

:00:48. > :00:53.willing Niya to get a medal. Twice the maybe a bit surprised that she

:00:53. > :00:57.is coming here on an evening like this in a race like this. At the

:00:57. > :01:05.height of summer. She will be surprised if she's having to run a

:01:05. > :01:12.personal best but she is all the way there. Dibaba poised. The double

:01:12. > :01:16.world cross-country in for. We have got a competitive race. Still the

:01:16. > :01:21.favourite, Tirunesh Dibaba and now she can look at the scoreboard. Six

:01:22. > :01:31.laps to go in the 10,000 metres. What a performance so far from the

:01:32. > :01:35.

:01:35. > :01:45.impressive style, trying to burn them off, get rid of the talent

:01:45. > :01:46.

:01:46. > :01:55.behind her, Dibaba looks comfortable and certainly we have talked about

:01:55. > :02:01.the big 10,000 metres in Stryver and Meseret Defar heads the list when

:02:01. > :02:11.she ran there. In that race the, the race went pretty close until the

:02:11. > :02:13.

:02:13. > :02:18.latter stages and Chebet in the, now Shitaye Eshete has gone. I think a

:02:18. > :02:22.lot of people will be with you on this, if Niiya can keep pushing and

:02:22. > :02:27.stay with this, I am not sure she will be able to get them down to

:02:27. > :02:33.just three but the five laps to go, even she must be starting to think

:02:33. > :02:41.that she can do this, five people left, this is a really gutsy strong

:02:41. > :02:50.performance. 74.1, she is not letting up at all. 24.44 that

:02:50. > :02:54.distance and that is pretty impressive. About 30 and 50 seconds

:02:54. > :02:58.pace. You have got lapped athletes here and sometimes it is difficult

:02:58. > :03:00.when you have got a large group when the RAC, you have to overtake the

:03:01. > :03:04.lapped athletes. They used to be a convention where they moved to the

:03:04. > :03:07.outside and I think that should be the case these days because it

:03:07. > :03:11.sometimes causes disruption in a race and hopefully will never affect

:03:11. > :03:16.the result by us in that sort of situation affect the results but

:03:16. > :03:23.tonight, let's hope it does not at all. Chebet hanging on in fourth

:03:23. > :03:30.place, just a yard or two opening. Niiya is pulling them away and one

:03:30. > :03:33.by one they have slipped away from this group. Two Ethiopians, two

:03:33. > :03:37.Kenyans follow the Japanese athlete and now they are coming in to the

:03:37. > :03:40.territory of Tirunesh Dibaba. Approaching four laps to go, she is

:03:40. > :03:44.looking above the screen, she has checked everything she needs to

:03:44. > :03:47.know. She needs to know she has got company and she has that. She needs

:03:48. > :03:51.to know when she will make the move and you can guess that, it will be

:03:51. > :03:56.as late as possible. She is striding magnificently, looking beautifully

:03:56. > :04:02.poised on the track in the position, you sense that she can

:04:02. > :04:07.take over whenever she wants but the are still three athletes behind her.

:04:07. > :04:13.-- there are still three athletes. One last thought from Porlock in

:04:13. > :04:18.this crucial stage, 3.5 laps to go. -- one last thought from Paula

:04:18. > :04:23.Radcliffe. I think she is doing everything she can do here. I am

:04:23. > :04:27.watching this and just hoping as if I was racing this, please, two just

:04:27. > :04:30.drop off the back about because she does not want to see these laps to

:04:30. > :04:38.go away and get down to the last one and then see three athletes sitting

:04:38. > :04:41.behind the because that is a hardware to it. It is a hard race to

:04:41. > :04:47.run. She needs to be running culpably at PB pace. This is tough

:04:47. > :04:53.to come and do that. In her mind, she is thinking of hoping that one

:04:53. > :05:03.more person could drop off the back and then one more. Three laps to

:05:03. > :05:03.

:05:03. > :05:13.go, she has not taken a look away from the scoreboard, she is trying

:05:13. > :05:18.to see whether she can getting up on that. Chebet is ahead of her. They

:05:18. > :05:25.are getting a bit closer now, they are gathering as we approach 1,000m

:05:25. > :05:29.to go and we wonder if Niiya has got any more effort. Look at Cherono

:05:29. > :05:37.looking at it and realising that he might need to be closer. Perhaps

:05:37. > :05:44.sensing that one of the other athletes will come. Chebet at the

:05:44. > :05:51.back of those five, still leading. Another similar kilometre, three

:05:51. > :05:56.minutes and five seconds for that kilometre. The favourite and

:05:56. > :06:00.champion, double champion from a few years ago, the youngest ever

:06:00. > :06:05.champion in the history of the World Championships, and down the straight

:06:05. > :06:11.now, two laps to go, this is the time and the distance runner, when

:06:11. > :06:18.the rubber speed the finish, your confidence begins soar as you see

:06:18. > :06:23.the laps going down -- when you approach the finish. Tirunesh Dibaba

:06:23. > :06:28.is following up closely but getting into the domain of Tirunesh Dibaba.

:06:28. > :06:32.This athlete is the only athlete in the entire World Championships who

:06:33. > :06:37.has never lost a race at this distance, she has run time, she has

:06:37. > :06:40.won them all, this is the 11th and there will not be an athlete in the

:06:40. > :06:45.whole of the World Championships who has never been beaten at their own

:06:45. > :06:50.distance, this lady carries that mantle and we hope, because she is

:06:50. > :06:54.such a great athlete, that he can continue that. 600 metres remaining,

:06:54. > :07:03.Tirunesh Dibaba is poised on the shoulder of a brave athlete from

:07:03. > :07:07.Japan. Hitomi Niiya, Dibaba as glanced at the bottom of the stadium

:07:07. > :07:15.for the first time because she can see the screen and the two Kenyan

:07:15. > :07:17.athletes hovering, Emily Chebet managing to keep her team-mate out

:07:17. > :07:27.of the World Cross Country Championships but Tirunesh Dibaba

:07:27. > :07:28.

:07:28. > :07:32.makes her first move and followed by Cherono and Oljira. She has drifted

:07:32. > :07:37.to the front and now it is a sprint. As she got the strength and speed

:07:37. > :07:43.that we have seen from this lady in the past? Team-mate is tracking

:07:43. > :07:46.her, Oljira and down the back straight, they are looking for the

:07:46. > :07:51.same tonight. They are looking for glory and majesty of this athlete,

:07:51. > :07:59.the most successful athletes that we have seen at these championships,

:07:59. > :08:07.she is on her way, is it to her fifth World Championship gold medal?

:08:07. > :08:17.She is on her way to her fifth. checks one last time, she has put a

:08:17. > :08:17.

:08:17. > :08:23.great race on, Cherono has put a brave effort in, the crowd rise and

:08:23. > :08:31.this is a majestic performance. The fifth gold medal, never beaten,

:08:31. > :08:38.never fronted. The champion again. Gold for Ethiopia, silver for Kenya

:08:38. > :08:44.and bronze for Ethiopia, Chebet just out kicked in the end. And there was

:08:44. > :08:48.an air of inevitability about that, and of course, the only person who

:08:48. > :08:52.tried to change the plan was Niiya and there she is and your heart has

:08:52. > :08:59.to go out to the Japanese athlete who shakes her head because she ran

:08:59. > :09:02.a brilliant race, and you can see what it has done to her, she is

:09:02. > :09:10.distraught. She did everything she could but you couldn't really see

:09:11. > :09:16.any way in which she could have got rid of Dibaba. You could have hoped

:09:16. > :09:23.a medal for her but it was not to be. Hammy times have we seen that

:09:23. > :09:30.from Dibaba? It is never anything but impressive. 11 victories at

:09:30. > :09:39.10,000 metres. This woman is the greatest distance runner of her in

:09:39. > :09:43.history. -- of her gender in history. For the last lap, you would

:09:43. > :09:47.have to be some athletes to beat her that she is a great competitor as

:09:48. > :09:54.well as a great champion. She wins the race is as she wants to and

:09:54. > :10:04.congratulations the Tirunesh Dibaba and on that last lap, 59.96,

:10:04. > :10:08.cruising to the front. But here we look at the last lap. Drifting to

:10:08. > :10:14.the front, she has not started her sprint yet, beginning to open a few

:10:14. > :10:17.yards, beginning to show the form, the distance runner is transformed

:10:18. > :10:24.into a sprinter on the last lap, never beaten at this distance, three

:10:24. > :10:30.times the Olympic champion. The youngest ever world champion and now

:10:30. > :10:36.five individual words champion gold medals -- five individual World

:10:36. > :10:42.Championship gold medals. This is an historic moment in distance

:10:42. > :10:47.running. The Queen of distance running on her way to be fifth gold

:10:47. > :10:51.medal which, in my view, the Empress of the track. No athlete in history

:10:51. > :10:56.has been more successful winning gold medals on the track or in the

:10:56. > :11:02.field, I am talking about female athletes, five World Championships,

:11:02. > :11:06.three Olympic golds, the world record-holder at 5000 metres, the

:11:06. > :11:11.Ethiopian Empress of athletics. That is a fantastic performance. We saw

:11:11. > :11:16.history tonight and that was it. That makes her the most successful

:11:16. > :11:21.female athletes ever in athletics. You think about the names kicking

:11:21. > :11:24.around there, that puts her on some kind of pedestal. She has been my

:11:24. > :11:28.favourite athlete for a long time since she was the youngest ever

:11:28. > :11:38.world champion. What a privilege to be around in the days of Tirunesh

:11:38. > :11:44.

:11:44. > :11:54.he has got his own collection of gold medals, will there be another

:11:54. > :11:58.one tonight? She has one five individual World Championships, he

:11:58. > :12:08.is going up in his fourth individual one. That one coming up in about 15

:12:08. > :12:17.

:12:17. > :12:27.first throw the discus final and only Melina Robert-Michon can beat

:12:27. > :12:30.turnout. The French record-holder's last throw, it is not far enough.

:12:30. > :12:38.But Melina Robert-Michon is guaranteed a civil medal, that is by

:12:38. > :12:41.far and away the best performance ever -- a silver medal. Galina

:12:41. > :12:45.Barrios of Cuba wins another champion ship medal, she has won

:12:45. > :12:50.Olympic medals, World Championship medals in the past, she gets the

:12:51. > :13:00.bronze medal but Sandra Perkovic turns Olympic gold in two World

:13:01. > :13:01.

:13:02. > :13:07.Championship gold a year after. -- into World Championship gold. 67.99,

:13:07. > :13:10.a distance that only she has surpassed this season. Absolutely

:13:11. > :13:20.superb performance from the very first Croatian to win an Olympic

:13:21. > :13:26.

:13:26. > :13:30.gold medal, now she becomes the record fraud Melina Robert-Michon.

:13:30. > :13:39.-- new national record for Melina Robert-Michon. The major honours go

:13:39. > :13:42.to Sandra Perkovic once more. GABBY LOGAN: So consistent over the

:13:42. > :13:52.season, delivers on the stage where it matters, Sandra Perkovic, and she

:13:52. > :13:53.

:13:53. > :13:59.has got the gold. Well done to her and well done to Tirunesh Dibaba.

:13:59. > :14:04.She is one of the greats, her name is meaningful, and you see the

:14:04. > :14:10.similarities between her and Mo Farah. There are a lot, they don't

:14:10. > :14:16.not call her the baby faced destroyer for nothing. She can hold

:14:16. > :14:21.her head up high, she came here and she knew she did not have a finish

:14:21. > :14:26.and she could not compete with the likes of Dibaba, even Cherono is way

:14:26. > :14:31.back there, when they kick came to it, Cherono knew she was racing for

:14:31. > :14:35.the silver medal. And Niiya was hoping she could break that down to

:14:35. > :14:39.three, and she hoped she could hold the bronze medal position. She was

:14:39. > :14:43.not able to do that but she has got a personal best at least and she

:14:43. > :14:46.knows that she tried. She knows that she gave it her best shot and that

:14:46. > :14:49.is what some of those guys in the ten Kate cannot say, they cannot say

:14:49. > :14:55.they gave it the absolute best because they would have walked off

:14:55. > :15:01.with a little bit in hand. She threw a three-minute kilometre in in the

:15:01. > :15:06.middle of that which is a minute faster than her PB paste. Than her

:15:06. > :15:15.PB paste. You are so emotional because he recognised the way she

:15:15. > :15:18.race. Trying to go out and break the field down. She had maybe six or

:15:18. > :15:22.seven days with three or four laps to go, you wanted her to change the

:15:22. > :15:25.pace and drop them off but they were not going and it was a heartbreaking

:15:25. > :15:34.look up to the screen where she wanted to see less behind but they

:15:34. > :15:37.were still there. Exactly and every lap she is looking up and she hopes

:15:37. > :15:39.they drop off, and then Dibaba is thinking this is getting easier and

:15:39. > :15:42.into her territory and she could have won that any way that it was

:15:42. > :15:49.run today and she could have still kicked away and would have still

:15:50. > :15:55.have 18 but I was just thinking that were still have won it. We are

:15:55. > :15:58.sitting here hoping that they could have dropped off. If she could have

:15:58. > :16:02.injected another kilometre in three minutes like you said, five laps to

:16:02. > :16:06.go, four laps to go, then that could have done the damage. If Chebet was

:16:06. > :16:09.able to go to the front and go off that, that could have done the

:16:09. > :16:13.damage because you never know, that is the thing when you are at the

:16:13. > :16:17.front and turning the screw, you never know when that will happen.

:16:17. > :16:21.How amazing is she? We are sitting here, the crowd waiting for the

:16:21. > :16:25.likes of Usain Bolt but here is a woman who has done everything there

:16:25. > :16:30.is to do on the track and yet somehow you feel she still does not

:16:30. > :16:36.get the true recognition that she deserves. The sport is effectively

:16:36. > :16:46.hinged on one man but this woman is incredible. A diminutive figure but

:16:46. > :16:53.

:16:53. > :16:55.look at her accolades, they speak volumes. She went to live with her

:16:56. > :16:59.cousin and went into athletics that she would not be forced to get

:16:59. > :17:03.married. We don't know about the cultural influences and the

:17:03. > :17:11.decisions she has had to make so that she could do something outside

:17:11. > :17:18.what was expected of her. She has run the world away. She has. She is

:17:18. > :17:24.incredible. Montsho was the same. In Botswana, she is revered. She is a

:17:24. > :17:28.true role model. We use that word lightly sometimes, but she is a true

:17:28. > :17:33.role model for those following her. The superlatives that Brendan was

:17:33. > :17:38.throwing at Tirunesh Dibaba, you can see that she is very appreciated

:17:38. > :17:48.around these parts. A gutsy run as always. Well, the clock is ticking

:17:48. > :18:18.

:18:18. > :18:22.down. It's almost time for the men's Showtime indeed, and Brendan, Andrew

:18:22. > :18:29.and I have the best seats in the house, I guess. Just sitting above

:18:29. > :18:34.the finish line here in the Luzhniki Stadium. We await, like everybody

:18:34. > :18:39.else, the arrival at the finish line of the men in the 100 metres, and

:18:39. > :18:49.there is one man in particular who we expect to arrive first. And that

:18:49. > :18:50.

:18:50. > :18:54.is only based, of course, on the fact that he is the greatest ever.

:18:54. > :19:01.You start to run out of superlatives you can throw at athletes. You have

:19:01. > :19:04.to find ways to try to describe their exploits, and the best way for

:19:04. > :19:10.that to happen is for them to keep producing something better than they

:19:10. > :19:20.have before. Is Bolt capable of that? James Dasaolu has produced

:19:20. > :19:26.

:19:26. > :19:33.better performances than ever before. Just to remind you, if you

:19:33. > :19:36.work with us earlier, -- if you weren't here with us earlier, the

:19:36. > :19:46.standard of this final was incredible. Christoph Lemaitre made

:19:46. > :19:53.

:19:53. > :20:03.it through. The Chinese athlete had a very similar time. He ran a

:20:03. > :20:18.

:20:19. > :20:24.Rodgers of the USA. When Gatlin won his World Championships in Helsinki

:20:24. > :20:28.in 2005, he was the only man in the final to run under ten seconds. I am

:20:28. > :20:36.not sure that will be the same case tonight. We have already seen superb

:20:36. > :20:41.performances in the semifinal, one or two surprising ones. One for me

:20:41. > :20:51.was Nick al Ashmead, just to the other side of Justin Gatlin --

:20:51. > :20:51.

:20:51. > :20:56.Nickel Ashmeade. 9.90, a new personal best for him. And for used

:20:56. > :20:59.that's fans, as we go through it line by Lane, there has been a

:20:59. > :21:08.one-two-three-four before at the World Championships in the 200

:21:08. > :21:16.metres in 2005. Dasaolu for Great Britain. Then Christoph Lemaitre,

:21:16. > :21:26.the best Europe has to offer, these two. He got ahead of his team-mate

:21:26. > :21:30.

:21:30. > :21:34.to get into this final. Nickel Ashmeade of Jamaica. Not the most

:21:34. > :21:37.well-known of the Jamaican athletes, of course. Let's not forget that

:21:37. > :21:44.Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay are not here because of pending drug

:21:44. > :21:49.suspensions. Justin Gatlin has had controversy surrounding his career.

:21:49. > :21:55.Two times, he has been banned. He is here tonight, the only man who

:21:55. > :22:05.people think may beat Usain Bolt. All lost to Gatlin in Rome. He said

:22:05. > :22:05.

:22:05. > :22:11."they did not feel like my legs" . -- Bolt lost to Gatlin in Rome.

:22:11. > :22:20.Usain Bolt, up to his familiar antics. The crowd are loving the

:22:20. > :22:30.fact that it is good to see Bolt relaxing a bit. Playing to the

:22:30. > :22:30.

:22:30. > :22:40.crowd, as ever. Nesta Carter, the quick starter. He impressed in

:22:40. > :22:40.

:22:41. > :22:50.qualification. And the rain continues to fall. Is that going to

:22:51. > :22:51.

:22:51. > :23:01.affect things? Rodgers has been a bit of a revelation. Only made the

:23:01. > :23:10.

:23:10. > :23:15.team because of Tyson Gay's withdrawal. The greatest sprinter of

:23:15. > :23:21.all time once more comes to the blocks. Once more, in a quest to win

:23:21. > :23:25.gold. Two years ago in Daegu, he was robbed of this gold medal. He rubbed

:23:25. > :23:35.himself with a false start, of course. And the rain continues to

:23:35. > :23:58.

:23:58. > :24:08.comes Usain Bolt. Baltacha storming past them, and Bolt is going to take

:24:08. > :24:18.the gold medal again ! 9.78. Unbeatable. Unsurpassable. Could you

:24:18. > :24:20.

:24:20. > :24:28.ever doubt him? What a roar from this crowd. His fourth individual

:24:28. > :24:38.world championship gold medal. Gatling got a good start, put him

:24:38. > :24:38.

:24:38. > :24:48.under pressure. -- Justin Gatlin. But when the big day comes, the big

:24:48. > :24:53.

:24:53. > :25:02.man performs. 9.85 for Gatlin, Carter, nine point 95. It was only

:25:02. > :25:09.about those two. When you look at Bolt's performances in major

:25:09. > :25:14.championships, yes, we have had a lot of records in the past. Yes, we

:25:14. > :25:23.have had all comers' records. But this was in the rain tonight in

:25:23. > :25:30.Moscow. The World Championships belonged to Bolt again. Carter,

:25:30. > :25:37.delighted with his bronze. And just look at this. If any sport has a

:25:37. > :25:42.bigger star, then please show me it. He sometimes carries the sport on

:25:42. > :25:48.his shoulders. Christoph Lemaitre got injured, and is being

:25:48. > :25:58.stretchered off. Dasaolu did well to make it through to the final.

:25:58. > :26:00.

:26:00. > :26:05.Finished eighth in the end. Bolt, as ever the showman, but it is really

:26:05. > :26:10.about his performances. Plenty of athletes over the years who have

:26:10. > :26:19.been big favourites, there are always questions about them, but he

:26:19. > :26:25.never fails to deliver. At this point, Bolt was having to find Top

:26:25. > :26:28.Gear. But once he is ahead, that is the end of it. It was just a

:26:28. > :26:38.question of the clock. Not one of his fastest, but he was quick

:26:38. > :26:53.

:26:53. > :26:56.enough. As we see these celebratory scenes for Jamaica, the relay will

:26:56. > :27:01.be something they turned their attention to eventually after the

:27:01. > :27:09.200. Let's have a bit of analysis of that race. Colin Jackson, your

:27:09. > :27:15.thoughts? It was a good race. We knew the rain might affect some

:27:15. > :27:23.attitudes, but Usain turned it on when it mattered. He did not have

:27:23. > :27:33.the best of starts. Justin Gatlin blasted out of the blocks. He made

:27:33. > :27:33.

:27:33. > :27:42.Usain Bolt work for it. But once Usain gets upright and running, he

:27:42. > :27:47.starts to chase Justin down. At this stage, he can just rely on his long

:27:47. > :27:51.stride length to pull him away from his field. He was not bothered once

:27:52. > :27:58.he got to Justin's shoulders. It may have been different if Justin could

:27:58. > :28:03.have hung on the ten metres more. But this man is a real champion.

:28:03. > :28:08.People have doubted him on many occasions, and every time, when push

:28:08. > :28:15.comes to shove, Usain Bolt finds that extra gear, moves away from the

:28:15. > :28:20.field and clocks quick times. James? Well he did not produce what we

:28:20. > :28:26.expected him to do. We want to see if he could go under that magical

:28:26. > :28:31.ten second barrier again. I think it took a lot out of him actually being

:28:31. > :28:36.in this final. He ran very well in the semifinals. To be in the final

:28:36. > :28:40.was always going to be tough. It has been a long time since we have had a

:28:40. > :28:49.British finalist in a men's 100 metres. He has done a really good

:28:49. > :28:55.job. GABBY LOGAN: brilliant experience

:28:55. > :29:01.for James Dasaolu, but a fantastic champion, Usain Bolt, back as world

:29:01. > :29:05.champion after the blip of Daegu. The rain came down almost symbolic

:29:05. > :29:10.here -- symbolically. We have not seen it rain in Moscow, and it came

:29:10. > :29:14.down, hats to make it a bit slower than it would have been if we had

:29:15. > :29:19.had dry conditions, but again, he produces when it matters. It becomes

:29:19. > :29:27.a mental battle for the guys. deal with any conditions thrown at

:29:27. > :29:33.me? Usain Bolt, in those conditions, ran really well. I was getting tense

:29:33. > :29:40.at 70 metres. I thought, will he do it? But as Colin says, he is the man

:29:40. > :29:46.of the moment. He thrives off this kind of challenge. Again, the depth

:29:46. > :29:54.and breadth of Jamaican sprinting was there in force. Four out of five

:29:54. > :29:59.guys in the final. We have two Europeans in the final. James

:29:59. > :30:05.Dasaolu will learn from this. And he will hopefully go on to compete

:30:05. > :30:09.more. Sadly, Michael Johnson is not here to discuss the lack of American

:30:09. > :30:13.sprinters in that final. He will be with us tomorrow. People have been

:30:13. > :30:19.asking where he is. I am sure he will have a lot to say about Bolt's

:30:19. > :30:23.performance. Paula, he takes his responsibility as an icon of the

:30:23. > :30:29.sport seriously. He does, and you can see the amount of attention

:30:29. > :30:32.around him. Then you look further down, and there is Justin Gatlin.

:30:32. > :30:36.Maybe it is because of his history, but there was not that interest

:30:36. > :30:41.around him. It is just because of that character that Usain is.

:30:41. > :30:48.Talking about Dibaba earlier and why she does not have that, I think she

:30:49. > :30:53.does not have the charisma he has. She does not speak English, and

:30:53. > :30:55.unfortunately, in today's world, if she's not prepared to talk to the

:30:55. > :31:00.media and make herself a personality, she will not get the

:31:00. > :31:04.same level and there will remain one superstar of the sport in Usain

:31:05. > :31:09.Bolt. When you say she does not have the charisma, I can't think of many

:31:09. > :31:13.sports stars in the world with the charisma of Bolt. He has more

:31:14. > :31:17.charisma than most of us could ever conjure up in a lifetime. He loves

:31:17. > :31:24.performing. When he was making his face is on the line, you thought,

:31:24. > :31:27.all is good in the world. In the heats, he looked a bit tense. But

:31:27. > :31:37.that is almost a way of relaxing for him, to pull their eyebrow faces and

:31:37. > :31:54.

:31:54. > :32:03.make the gestures. He has not changed much since he was 15 he has

:32:03. > :32:07.not changed much since he was 15. And I love the way he does that.

:32:07. > :32:10.He will have a resonance with every event. There will be distance

:32:10. > :32:20.runners who understand what he is doing. There will be throwers who

:32:20. > :32:21.

:32:21. > :32:25.with him, but everyone wants a word with Usain Bolt might now. If we

:32:25. > :32:28.don't manage to get it on air, rest assured that it will be on the

:32:28. > :32:33.website and we will hear from him over the next couple of days,

:32:33. > :32:38.because he does like to talk. That is the beauty of Usain. He is not

:32:38. > :32:44.shy of sharing his feelings. Obviously, he has got to go through

:32:44. > :32:47.the world's media. They all want to hear what he has to say. But as

:32:47. > :32:51.Colin said, that relaxation, that showmanship is something people are

:32:51. > :32:57.trying to replicate. Through the 90s, it was all serious and everyone

:32:57. > :33:03.was focused and not showing this display, but sport should be fun and

:33:03. > :33:07.enjoyable. While you are in, enjoy it. We often see him on the Diamond

:33:07. > :33:12.League, and Colin said, don't underestimate how technically

:33:12. > :33:16.knowledgeable he is and how much he cares about raking this race down.

:33:16. > :33:24.Because it looks so easy, you think it is a walk in the park. But he is

:33:24. > :33:27.a real student of sprinting. likes to play up to the crowd and

:33:27. > :33:31.talk about how many chicken nuggets he can eat but he is very serious

:33:31. > :33:41.about what he does and when he trains, he will knock them down and

:33:41. > :33:41.

:33:41. > :33:44.get the work done. And he will assess the race afterwards to see

:33:44. > :33:47.what they can take away like any athlete does and what they need to

:33:47. > :33:49.work on. Sometimes people see his performance and think he only ran

:33:49. > :33:52.9.77, not particularly fast but there are only two nations with

:33:52. > :33:56.national records faster than that. One is Jamaica and the other is the

:33:56. > :34:00.US. It is still a sensational performance that he has delivered,

:34:00. > :34:06.it is just that we get sport by having him on the track on a regular

:34:06. > :34:09.basis. And his 200 metres and his relay to come, so plenty more of him

:34:09. > :34:17.in the championships. Plenty more athletics for you tomorrow. Our

:34:17. > :34:23.coverage starts in the morning at 9:15am. That is 6:15am UK time, we

:34:23. > :34:27.are up that early, and at 3:30pm UK time will be back on BBC Two, we are

:34:27. > :34:31.looking forward to the Christine Ohuruogu going in the final of the

:34:31. > :34:36.400m, the men's pole vault final as well, the heptathlon starts as

:34:36. > :34:40.well, Denise! And plenty more to look forward to, the women's 100

:34:40. > :34:45.metres semifinals and finals, Asha Philip going in that semifinal, will

:34:45. > :34:49.yet our first woman in a final at the World Championships ever? We

:34:49. > :34:53.have never had a woman in that final but it is clear there are two stars
