Day 3, Part 1

:00:59. > :01:09.Edna Kiplagat of Kenya defends her world title in William style. --

:01:09. > :01:22.

:01:22. > :01:25.going to get here, this is world Professional sport comes in all

:01:25. > :01:30.sorts of shapes and sizes but essentially asks just the one

:01:30. > :01:33.question - who is the best? The most important answer depends on where

:01:33. > :01:38.you are from. It is probably football in Brazil, Cricket in

:01:38. > :01:48.India, Rugby in South Africa. There is one universal language, though,

:01:48. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :02:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:02:38. > :02:44.Usain Bolt up to his familiar antics. It is still coming down

:02:44. > :02:48.hard, the rain. They are getting away, Justin Gatlin

:02:48. > :02:58.gets the best start alongside him. Usain Bolt is going to get there,

:02:58. > :03:04.

:03:04. > :03:12.year storming past MIT is going to ever doubt Usain just the 9.77

:03:12. > :03:15.seconds, but enough to make sure the attention stays on the track rather

:03:15. > :03:20.than off of it. Here is what is coming up this

:03:20. > :03:23.morning. The female multi-eventers are out on the track today, no

:03:23. > :03:30.Jessica Ennis-Hill, so a jazz for Katarina Johnson-Thompson to make

:03:30. > :03:35.her mark on the global stage. -- a chance. Defending champion Dai

:03:35. > :03:42.Greene defends his 400m title. Watch out for a trio of really talented

:03:42. > :03:51.Americans. It is the women's 400m hurdles, as

:03:51. > :04:01.well. Watch out for the Czech Republic runner, she has been the

:04:01. > :04:14.

:04:14. > :04:20.outstanding world number one. She about Jessica Ennis-Hill not being

:04:20. > :04:26.there. Brett Morse will be going it in the discus qualification, the

:04:26. > :04:36.3000m steeplechase heats, and then the 400m hurdles heats at the end of

:04:36. > :04:37.

:04:37. > :04:42.this morning with Dai Greene and a storm on the track last night, and

:04:42. > :04:48.a storm of it, and it has brought a change of weather. Good Monday

:04:48. > :04:51.morning to you. Hopefully we can cheer you up with the smiling faces

:04:51. > :04:56.of Denise Lewis and Colin Jackson. Good morning.

:04:56. > :05:02.Have you recovered from the drama of last night? It was exhausting, there

:05:02. > :05:08.was a lot of anticipation, how fast is Usain going to go, how fast is

:05:08. > :05:14.James Dasaolu going to go? We were all expecting a good race,

:05:14. > :05:19.good competition, but the weather did not -- let us down. We have had

:05:19. > :05:23.amazing weather for the last few days and for the start of the men's

:05:23. > :05:28.100m the heavens opened. It did not stop the action, and obviously,

:05:28. > :05:34.Bolt, it did not affect him. much quicker did you think he would

:05:34. > :05:41.run it if it had stayed dry and hot? I predicted 9.7, not much faster

:05:41. > :05:45.than that. What the rain does come as a competitor, it dampens your

:05:45. > :05:51.mental ability. You think, oh, it is raining. Instead of focusing on what

:05:51. > :05:55.you are doing. If there is a nice wind behind you you get excited and

:05:55. > :06:00.thinking this is going to be the day. It was a major event, major

:06:00. > :06:06.competition and the most important thing was taking the victory. As --

:06:06. > :06:10.everyone wanted to win and run well as we saw by the statistics.

:06:10. > :06:16.He won the race, but he is well off his best shape.

:06:16. > :06:20.I think we are spoiled, 9.58 is easy to him so he is going to break the

:06:20. > :06:26.world record every ten years on the track. The reality is he is just a

:06:26. > :06:31.very quick man and running 9.77 is still a hell of a performance. He

:06:31. > :06:36.did enough to win and I think for him now winning is about what it is

:06:36. > :06:45.about. Potentially, by the time Rio comes around, he could be one of the

:06:45. > :06:51.most decorated sportsmen ever in any sport. Do you worry, Colin, about

:06:51. > :06:57.his motivation? It is a long way to Rio. Post-Olympic year, he has

:06:57. > :07:00.struggled a little, perhaps. It is about balance, isn't it? At he has

:07:00. > :07:05.the desire. As long as he has the desire to perform at the hires level

:07:05. > :07:09.that can motivate him to train in the evenings and the mornings, to

:07:09. > :07:13.work hard, focus, to have athletics completely own your lifestyle. If

:07:13. > :07:20.you have that to keep winning medals, that is all he needs to

:07:20. > :07:23.perform. I think if he stopped running tomorrow he would be a

:07:23. > :07:29.legend in our sport, but for him it is about transcending that even

:07:29. > :07:34.further. I think total domination. The best sports person ever is

:07:34. > :07:41.really his goal. There is really close to that. Afterwards, Usain

:07:41. > :07:45.Bolt spoke to Phil Jones. Usain, King graduations, you have

:07:45. > :07:48.your gold medal back, has it got a special edge because of that two

:07:48. > :07:54.well, yes I am happy but I wanted to do better.

:07:54. > :07:58.After the semifinals I was not feeling good, my legs felt sore. I

:07:58. > :08:02.came out here just to win. You did that with some style, nonetheless

:08:02. > :08:09.come in a time of 9.78, that says something about that above-average

:08:09. > :08:17.UR. I was happy to come out here, the fans came out, a lot of

:08:17. > :08:23.Jamaicans in support, it was great. Back in Jamaica they must be so

:08:23. > :08:28.proud of you. How we are you -- hideaway of that are you on an eight

:08:28. > :08:32.like tonight? I know they expect me to come out and dominate no matter

:08:32. > :08:38.what, they just want me to win. It is always great to come out here and

:08:38. > :08:44.do great for my country. I saw you trying to put up a

:08:44. > :08:49.metaphorical umbrella as the rain came down. That just came to me, I

:08:49. > :08:54.am just spontaneously that, the rain came down. As always, it was great.

:08:54. > :08:58.Thanks for talking to us. He talks about adding fun to it, do

:08:58. > :09:05.you think it is going to get less fun as the weight of expectation for

:09:05. > :09:08.the whole sport comes on to him? Well, if it is not on him already.

:09:08. > :09:16.He recognises that comedy is a responsible athlete and enjoys his

:09:16. > :09:22.athletics. The key is he still enjoys it. -- he recognises that, he

:09:22. > :09:26.is responsible athlete. His life would be a little bit empty without

:09:26. > :09:31.going round the stadium is waving to the crowds with big smiles. Where

:09:31. > :09:35.else will he get a platform like this? I think he will stick around

:09:35. > :09:41.for sometime, but I would liken to reassess his goals and think to

:09:41. > :09:45.himself, I want to go 25 races unbeaten, perhaps that will give a

:09:45. > :09:51.bit of a focus now. Winning championships - he does that easily

:09:51. > :09:56.now. We have obviously lost Tyson Gay

:09:56. > :10:00.because of this drugs test, no Yohan Blake with his injury, it would have

:10:00. > :10:03.been a different race if one of those two had been in it.

:10:03. > :10:11.Absolutely, that was the mouthwatering prospect we were

:10:11. > :10:15.looking forward to. But our healthy Blake here would have added a new

:10:15. > :10:19.dimensional and pushed him further. I would stick my neck out and see a

:10:19. > :10:26.healthy Blake may be in shape to beat him over the 100th. I don't

:10:26. > :10:29.think over 200m there is anyone that can touch him. As Colin said, it is

:10:29. > :10:35.about reassessing his targets and making sure he can find that

:10:35. > :10:38.stimulus about his challenges going forward. We had a Brit in the final,

:10:38. > :10:43.James Dasaolu, he finished in eighth place but a great achievement to get

:10:43. > :10:47.to the final. It was an impressive performance because after his first

:10:47. > :10:52.round we all thought he was going to struggle, he was nowhere near his

:10:52. > :10:57.personal best of 9.91. To get to the final I think took a

:10:57. > :11:01.lot out of him, not only physically but mentally. It was a good job, it

:11:01. > :11:08.has been a long time since we have had a meal British sprinter in any

:11:08. > :11:14.global final, so now we have one who can produce under ten seconds when

:11:15. > :11:20.it really matters. I was really pleased for him, and I hope again

:11:20. > :11:26.that this eighth place does not affect him. He had trouble in the

:11:26. > :11:28.build-up, didn't he two yes, he had hip problems, he did not have the

:11:28. > :11:33.best preparation for these championships.

:11:33. > :11:37.But running under ten seconds twice this year for a British athlete is a

:11:37. > :11:42.great achievement. I think if he can stay healthy and start to believe he

:11:42. > :11:45.is in the calibre of the Americans and Jamaicans, possibly not Bolt,

:11:45. > :11:51.but he can do really well in the championships and really deliver on

:11:51. > :11:57.this kind of stage. We were pleased with his performance, but was he?

:11:57. > :12:00.James, what a night, to go under ten seconds and make the final on this

:12:00. > :12:05.huge stage, I know you would have liked to have gone better but this

:12:05. > :12:11.has been an incredible night. Yes, this semifinal took a lot out

:12:11. > :12:15.of me, I was watching my race back there and I gave it everything I had

:12:15. > :12:20.for 60 metres and ran out of gas for the last 40 metres. I was happy to

:12:20. > :12:26.make the final, it is an achievement for me so far in my career. To put

:12:26. > :12:29.it into perspective, your last race was in Birmingham before this, when

:12:29. > :12:35.you ran 9.91 and then you had injury problems. How difficult has that

:12:35. > :12:39.journey been? I was out for around three weeks, I knew it was going to

:12:39. > :12:46.be tough but it is about self belief. It was tough but I am just

:12:46. > :12:51.happy to make the final. You must be bred of yourself because I know with

:12:51. > :12:55.times under ten seconds you can be in the mix with these guys with the

:12:55. > :13:00.right preparation. This is my first year going under ten, if I can carry

:13:00. > :13:05.on making it under ten on a consistent basis I can work on that

:13:05. > :13:09.for the final and build on that. Thank you for talking to us... I

:13:09. > :13:13.want to thank my mum, I know they have been praying a lot, I would

:13:13. > :13:21.like to thank God because they are a very religious family, I would also

:13:21. > :13:24.like to thank my fiance, as well. I am glad he is happy, Colin.

:13:24. > :13:31.is important, sometimes young people have huge expectations of themselves

:13:31. > :13:33.and thank, I am disappointed. He knew what he achieved, he took

:13:33. > :13:38.his performance beyond his own personal expectations and he has

:13:38. > :13:45.realised, hang on, I am eighth in the world, not many people can say

:13:45. > :13:49.that. It was a solid performance. It is Denny 's's bald event, the

:13:49. > :13:56.heptathlon, coming up, first it is the 100m hurdles.

:13:56. > :14:00.Good morning from the Luzhniki Stadium, capacity 6000, just under

:14:00. > :14:04.that this morning, gently easing into

:14:04. > :14:08.This is the line-up. Julia Machtig from Germany is someone to look out

:14:08. > :14:13.for, not necessarily in this event because she seems to struggle in the

:14:13. > :14:17.hurdles but she will get stronger as the heptathlon goes on. It is a

:14:17. > :14:24.field overall which has been decimated, not just the three

:14:24. > :14:28.medallists from London missing, the top five from London are missing.

:14:28. > :14:35.The Russian injured knee ligaments during the Russian trials, the

:14:35. > :14:41.silver medallist of Germany, injured as well. It is all about the times,

:14:41. > :14:51.of course, here, and the quickest in this line-up is Wassana Winatho, the

:14:51. > :15:21.

:15:21. > :15:31.Asian champion from Thailand. We off very slowly. Bit of a stumble at

:15:31. > :15:46.

:15:46. > :15:54.the end from her, too. There is about 980 points for the winner,

:15:54. > :16:04.Wassana Winatho. She just time to run to the end perfectly there.

:16:04. > :16:09.

:16:10. > :16:14.Apple to grab second place. 13.88. Once twice over the last couple of

:16:14. > :16:24.days, especially in the early morning, we have had a problem with

:16:24. > :16:36.

:16:36. > :16:40.the timing. That is a personal best for Eliska Klucinova.

:16:40. > :16:46.Not only get to catch up with Katarina Johnson-Thompson, has chic

:16:46. > :16:52.answers through Oliver events. hurdles, that is becoming one of my

:16:52. > :16:57.strongest events. In the Habitat win, it is one shots to do

:16:58. > :17:05.everything. You have to do your best at every event. The high jump is my

:17:05. > :17:15.strongest event. It is the higher scoring event in the habitat: . The

:17:15. > :17:15.

:17:15. > :17:21.shot put is getting there. If I can just get a bit more length, it could

:17:21. > :17:27.be hundreds of points. Hopefully I can do well another not embarrass

:17:27. > :17:37.myself too much. In the hundred metres, I got a huge personal best

:17:37. > :17:37.

:17:37. > :17:41.and they didn't -- a huge personal best in Finland. With my throws, I

:17:41. > :17:51.will have to get better in the other events! The long jumpers made a

:17:51. > :17:58.

:17:58. > :18:03.first event -- is my favourite event. I jumped 6.60 at the

:18:03. > :18:09.Anniversary Games, Slovakia get that again, that would be great. My

:18:09. > :18:19.javelin is a lot better in the shot put. I feel are taken get further

:18:19. > :18:19.

:18:19. > :18:29.with that. I kind of enjoy the 1,500m. I like the rat race that

:18:29. > :18:32.

:18:32. > :18:37.goes on nets, fighting for a medal. Last year I was just going for as

:18:37. > :18:47.high as I could get, no want to go for medals. It will all come down to

:18:47. > :18:52.

:18:52. > :19:02.the yet hundred metres. Well the British heptathlete machine

:19:02. > :19:07.

:19:07. > :19:13.see it in such a healthy situation. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is the one

:19:13. > :19:23.we will look to hear. She is looking good. She has obvious strengths, and

:19:23. > :19:25.some weaknesses that might hamper her this weekend -- sorry, today.

:19:25. > :19:30.She knows that there's an opportunity with all the top names

:19:31. > :19:38.not here to come forward. It is actually a very mediocre field, to

:19:38. > :19:44.be honest. Sharon Day from the USA is one of the only woman in this

:19:44. > :19:48.field to score over 6500 points. In my day, that is a score that a lot

:19:48. > :19:53.of women would have been able to get. What can you do? She just has

:19:53. > :19:59.to compete at the best of her ability. In Sydney you were held

:19:59. > :20:03.together with bits of tape, weren't you? It is a tough event. The girls

:20:03. > :20:09.are used to be love training for it. It is about keeping your head in the

:20:09. > :20:14.right space and taking keep sheep event is due come. Well, there is

:20:14. > :20:18.Katarina Johnson-Thompson. That is way down in the BIOS of the

:20:18. > :20:24.stadium, somewhere. She is just ready to come out for the third

:20:24. > :20:29.heat. She looks very relaxed, very comfortable. These girls get on

:20:29. > :20:34.really well, they do. It is strange for people to believe that, but

:20:34. > :20:38.generally there is a good atmosphere. She has relax, she

:20:38. > :20:48.enjoys the hurdles, and she knows if she gets her heptathlon of June good

:20:48. > :21:03.

:21:03. > :21:09.start, she is ready. So, heat number she is having a great season.

:21:09. > :21:19.Nafissatou Thiam turns 19 a week today. She has taken the Belgian

:21:19. > :21:26.

:21:26. > :21:36.record. There is Bettie Wade. She seconds that she finished second in

:21:36. > :21:36.

:21:36. > :21:46.their American championship second Sharon Day. There is Kristina

:21:46. > :21:47.

:21:47. > :21:55.Savitskaya getting the early-morning applause from described. The javelin

:21:55. > :22:05.is really the strength for Sofia Ifantidou there. There is the

:22:05. > :22:25.

:22:25. > :22:35.reigning African champion, Yasmina Omrani. Katsiaryna Netsviatayeva is

:22:35. > :22:51.

:22:51. > :23:01.lame you. Nafissatou Thiam is a event in the heptathlon. This is the

:23:01. > :23:01.

:23:01. > :23:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:23:45. > :23:49.that is confirmed, that is a personal best for Linda Zublin. That

:23:49. > :23:56.is all you can do you, get a personal best. If you keep doing

:23:56. > :24:03.that, it will add up to many points. If confirmed, up to a thousand

:24:03. > :24:13.points for Linda Zublin. She got away well. It was a bad start by

:24:13. > :24:15.

:24:15. > :24:20.Bettie Wade. The only athlete to really challenge Linda Zublin was

:24:20. > :24:24.Yasmina Omrani. Linda Zublin stood up rather quickly. You might have

:24:24. > :24:32.heard Colin Jackson the other day talking about getting your hips high

:24:32. > :24:39.as soon as you can after the start in preparation for the first hurdle.

:24:39. > :24:41.Linda Zublin is very quick between the hurdles. She seems to be a

:24:41. > :24:51.little bit of balance when she lands, to she couldn't really drive

:24:51. > :24:52.

:24:52. > :24:59.for the line. That is a good time, 13.51. That is a smart effort from

:24:59. > :25:09.the Swiss champion. And you lifetime best. That is a new personal best

:25:09. > :25:10.

:25:10. > :25:15.for Yasmina Omrani. Disappointment that Jessica

:25:15. > :25:25.Ennis-Hill isn't here, injury meaning she could not come and event

:25:25. > :25:27.

:25:27. > :25:32.title that you one of 2009. Jessica Ennis-Hill so away well. She

:25:32. > :25:42.is coming away very strongly here. Jessica Ennis-Hill sprinting away

:25:42. > :26:00.

:26:00. > :26:10.here! Jessica Ennis is flying! She certainly has produced a lifetime

:26:10. > :26:14.

:26:14. > :26:21.run through. Not very quick, and it is not very long. But that is a

:26:21. > :26:25.solid start. It has been a long, hard, gruelling

:26:25. > :26:34.two days, but the things they the way they are, we are looking at a

:26:34. > :26:38.world champion! Great Britain has found another great start! The girl

:26:38. > :26:48.from the city of steel comes to Berlin hunting for gold, and she has

:26:48. > :26:53.

:26:53. > :26:58.We will miss her. When you watch that, you smile. She is

:26:58. > :27:02.aesthetically so pleasing to watch. She looks very athletic and

:27:02. > :27:09.everything she does. That is what attracts you to her skills. Also the

:27:09. > :27:14.way she competes, she is a mean competitor. You think she is just

:27:14. > :27:23.gorgeous, just lovely, but when push comes to shove, she pulls

:27:23. > :27:28.underperformance. What was impressive about Berlin is having

:27:28. > :27:31.had virtually all of 2008 at home injured with that stress fracture,

:27:32. > :27:40.to come back in the world Championships and dominate the way

:27:40. > :27:43.she did was extraordinary. That says a lot about her mental toughness.

:27:43. > :27:53.She is very determined, very ambitious. You can be sure that you

:27:53. > :27:56.

:27:56. > :28:03.will combat stronger next year. Katarina Johnson-Thompson, will it

:28:03. > :28:09.be better for heard that Jessica Ennis-Hill is not here? I think she

:28:10. > :28:14.likes to have her around. She has to be focused and do well. Looking at

:28:14. > :28:18.what Katarina Johnson-Thompson has done so far, she has taken

:28:18. > :28:24.Jessica's junior record, and is maybe 200 points ahead of where

:28:24. > :28:31.Jessica was at a similar stage. is what is so exciting for us. She

:28:31. > :28:38.has won junior championships. That has got to excite her. How important

:28:38. > :28:42.is it for her to go off to good start? It is essential. Your

:28:42. > :28:47.adrenaline is built up this event. It is an early start with these

:28:47. > :28:51.ladies. You can make mistakes in the hurdles, you don't want that because

:28:51. > :28:56.you would constantly be wearing catch up afterwards. She is looking

:28:56. > :29:01.relaxed and those which it has to do. You saw her last year competing

:29:01. > :29:07.in London. She embraced that environments. She loved the

:29:07. > :29:15.adulation and used it so effectively. One thing she is

:29:15. > :29:25.guaranteed is British support! British are always here! Paul Diggin

:29:25. > :29:34.

:29:34. > :29:44.everybody. This is the line-up for heat three.

:29:44. > :29:56.

:29:56. > :30:03.Katarina Johnson-Thompson goes in finished 16th in the Olympic on

:30:03. > :30:13.petition last year. She has improved in a few disciplines, though. 13.53

:30:13. > :30:18.

:30:19. > :30:25.is her lifetime best. She said that this year. Sofia Linde, European

:30:25. > :30:35.junior medallist, 18 years old, the Dutch always turn out a good team of

:30:35. > :30:37.

:30:37. > :30:47.heptathlete is. Makeba Alcide. Possibly one of the favourites to

:30:47. > :30:51.

:30:51. > :31:01.but under 200m on day one, can the American Sharon Day get off to a

:31:01. > :31:20.

:31:20. > :31:26.of the blocks, Ellen Sprunger right on the inside. Grit Sadeiko is going

:31:26. > :31:31.to win this one, there was off fall there, the Dutch athlete was going

:31:32. > :31:36.so well up until the last hurdle. Sadeiko came through, 13.40, a very

:31:36. > :31:43.good time. This is what can happen in the

:31:43. > :31:48.heptathlon or the Dakar phone, you can come unstuck on one event. -- or

:31:48. > :31:53.the decathlon. The Dutch athlete is down on the final hurdle, she has

:31:53. > :31:58.been going well this season, she is three times the Dutch champion. We

:31:58. > :32:03.are talking about Sharon Day, she could challenge for the title, but I

:32:03. > :32:12.think Nadine Broersen will be one of those thinking about getting up

:32:12. > :32:18.towards the medals. Nadine Broersen did finish but she will gather very

:32:18. > :32:24.few points because of this. She will be absolutely disgusted

:32:24. > :32:31.with herself. That last hurdle will have cost her dearly. 13.40 is a

:32:31. > :32:36.very good score indeed for the very good score indeed for the

:32:36. > :32:40.winner, 1065 points. A bit of Russian jiggery-pokery with

:32:40. > :32:44.the timetable and the selection of heats, we thought it was heat three,

:32:44. > :32:52.but it is heat for four Katarina Johnson-Thompson, which makes sense

:32:52. > :32:56.because she is a decent hurdler. She is, and she wants to get her

:32:56. > :33:01.campaign off to a good start with the fastest women in the field.

:33:01. > :33:05.It is better for her psyche, keeps focused, I hope she gets a good

:33:05. > :33:13.lane. She looks relaxed, which is good.

:33:13. > :33:19.Just mark out the names to look out for and maybe I guess of the points

:33:19. > :33:25.tally to take this title. It is difficult to say at this stage.

:33:25. > :33:28.These guys are trying to get close to their personal bests, break them

:33:28. > :33:38.if possible. Katarina will be looking to finish in the top eight,

:33:38. > :33:41.

:33:41. > :33:51.maybe take a medal if the opportunity should arrive. But

:33:51. > :34:01.

:34:01. > :34:04.Antoinette Nana Dijmou, and Ashton Eaton's wife, Breanne TS and eaten.

:34:04. > :34:10.Apparently she nearly killed her husband with a javelin!

:34:10. > :34:20.Yes, he was retrieving his javelin and heard javelin caught him across

:34:20. > :34:23.

:34:23. > :34:28.the face. Luckily it was not a bad injury.

:34:28. > :34:36.Katarina Johnson-Thompson is clearly a good sprint hurdler. But she is

:34:36. > :34:41.not such I good thrower. She is not. It is something, in heptathlon you

:34:41. > :34:45.don't get everything all at once, it is like making a cake, one year you

:34:45. > :34:51.will work on your furrows, another year it is speed and endurance. She

:34:51. > :34:57.is in a transitional phase where she has knocked chunks off of her

:34:57. > :35:04.personal best. There will be real emphasis on throwing in these

:35:04. > :35:11.championships, she knows that is the difference between a 6300 athlete

:35:11. > :35:16.and being up at 6500. Sometimes with junior athletes you measure

:35:16. > :35:21.development, they develop quickly and she gets a big score because she

:35:21. > :35:26.has developed quickly, that does not seem the case with Katarina.

:35:26. > :35:30.In the heptathlon you have so many events you can work on them.

:35:30. > :35:35.When you are a young junior you have lots of attributes you have

:35:35. > :35:40.naturally, a natural jumper, a natural runner, and natural

:35:40. > :35:45.hurdler, but Katarina struggles with the shot but. She said that she can

:35:45. > :35:51.get a meter, that will come with maturity.

:35:51. > :35:55.She relies a lot on her speed, jumping is exceptional, but these

:35:55. > :36:02.are things she can develop, strength in the gym, she needs to work on

:36:02. > :36:07.that if she is able to get up to the 40 metres that gives you that

:36:07. > :36:10.confidence to make sure you are in the mix when you are a 40 metre

:36:10. > :36:16.floor. She seems to have a level-headed attitude to the World

:36:16. > :36:18.Championships. In the shot putt last night she finished in sixth place,

:36:18. > :36:23.but Colin, she shrunk under the pressure, that is not something

:36:23. > :36:30.Katarina Johnson-Thompson and seems to do. That is also something you

:36:30. > :36:35.cannot teach an athlete. I was excited about Jessica Ennis-Hill

:36:35. > :36:45.many years ago, she came through and delivered, I am excited about

:36:45. > :36:48.

:36:48. > :36:58.Katarina. This time it is Katarina The final heat of this heptathlon

:36:58. > :37:16.

:37:16. > :37:22.champion last year indoors and if she is in shape she can be a real

:37:22. > :37:27.challenger. The fastest time we have had in the hurdles so far, 13.50 by

:37:27. > :37:36.Grit Sadeiko of Estonia. Katarina Johnson-Thompson's best thing is

:37:36. > :37:44.13.48, she will be hoping to get close to that. Ganna Melnichenko of

:37:44. > :37:54.the Ukraine finished 10th in the Olympics last year. We have Karolina

:37:54. > :38:00.Tyminska, she could be a challenger. Erica Bougard, of the USA. Breanne

:38:00. > :38:10.Jason Eaton, the wife of the new world champion in the decathlon,

:38:10. > :38:19.

:38:19. > :38:29.Ashton Eaton, also the decathlon indeed, she is the European 100m

:38:29. > :38:34.champion, she has tremendous flat speed, Dafne Schippers. Watch out

:38:34. > :38:43.for Breanne TS and eaten. Lies from a British perspective on Katarina

:38:43. > :38:48.Johnson-Thompson, this new exciting champion. The British Junior

:38:48. > :38:52.heptathlon record-holder. There is Ashton Eaton, the king of

:38:52. > :39:02.multi-events here in Moscow, the decathlon champion watching his

:39:02. > :39:32.

:39:32. > :39:36.lifetime best and a season best, too. First blood to Canada, Damian

:39:36. > :39:46.Warner did so well in the men's decathlon taking the bronze medal.

:39:46. > :39:47.

:39:47. > :39:50.They have a couple of very good multi-event here. Theisen Eaton is

:39:50. > :39:58.starting her campaign in flying colours. We will have to confirm

:39:58. > :40:03.what Katarina Johnson-Thompson did, but a slow start for the Britain.

:40:03. > :40:07.Yes, Katarina Johnson-Thompson is not on the big screen yet, but a

:40:07. > :40:10.very good performance from Brianne Theisen Eaton, she may have been

:40:10. > :40:20.inspired by her husband watching. She had that flat speed we were

:40:20. > :40:21.

:40:21. > :40:26.talking about. I suppose another thing, having watched what happened

:40:26. > :40:30.to Nadine Broersen, the other Dutch athlete avoided any pitfalls.

:40:30. > :40:36.Katarina Johnson-Thompson probably wanted a bit more from that, but

:40:36. > :40:42.Theisen Eaton was very impressive from start to finish.

:40:42. > :40:46.Katarina Johnson-Thompson's time has just come up at 13.49 seconds, only

:40:46. > :40:51.100th of a second outside of her lifetime best, perhaps we are doing

:40:51. > :41:00.a little bit of a disservice to her here. She finished shortly. There is

:41:00. > :41:06.the time is concerned -- confirmed. A brilliant win for Brianne Theisen

:41:06. > :41:16.Eaton of Canada, 13.17, by far and away the fastest order on display,

:41:16. > :41:20.

:41:20. > :41:25.1099 points. As Michael the fastest for the final tomorrow. Robert

:41:25. > :41:33.Harting, the defending champion, spinning that discuss way beyond the

:41:33. > :41:40.65 metres line. Early in the morning, through words do not late

:41:40. > :41:50.morning sessions. They started about 15 minutes ago. -- throwers do not

:41:50. > :41:54.

:41:54. > :42:02.65 metres, that should not prove a problem to anyone, especially this

:42:03. > :42:07.giant man, Robert Harting qualifies easily with over 66 metres.

:42:07. > :42:13.Another man who should qualify easily is the former Olympia

:42:13. > :42:20.champion from Estonia -- former Olympic champion, third on the

:42:20. > :42:26.all-time list. He always finishes very quickly indeed, a little bit of

:42:26. > :42:30.balance on that occasion, but it just pops over the qualifying line.

:42:30. > :42:37.In quick succession, two automatic qualifiers. David Canter, perhaps

:42:37. > :42:47.not the athlete he once was, but when you consider his lifetime best

:42:47. > :42:56.is 70.38, third on the all-time list. Here's 34 years old, Robert

:42:56. > :43:00.Harting is comparatively a youngster. Ashton Eaton certainly

:43:00. > :43:06.will be delighted with his wife's progress in the heptathlon. He was

:43:06. > :43:11.cheering there, he was on his feet. There is the leader in the head of

:43:11. > :43:21.one after the first event, and there are other points, Brianne Theisen

:43:21. > :43:26.

:43:26. > :43:32.of Katarina Johnson-Thompson's of Katarina Johnson-Thompson's

:43:32. > :43:37.strongest disciplines. JONATHAN EDWARDS: We were looking at

:43:37. > :43:43.that race and thinking, maybe not, but each race is not a race against

:43:43. > :43:47.the opposition but against yourself. It is a race against yourself. I was

:43:48. > :43:50.thinking her start was not as good as normal but she came through

:43:50. > :43:55.brilliantly in the field and as you said it is about staying with your

:43:55. > :43:58.personal best. She will be thinking, OK, job done, moving onto

:43:58. > :44:04.the high jump, this is where I need to start amassing my points because

:44:04. > :44:09.this is one my strengths. It is almost like... I was going to

:44:09. > :44:15.see a different sport, but a different mental approach. In our

:44:15. > :44:19.sport I was thinking I need to jump further than him, you thought I need

:44:19. > :44:24.to run faster, it is a different mental approach, isn't it? Yes, you

:44:24. > :44:27.have to become a different athlete, you know you're hurdling is not the

:44:27. > :44:32.quickest, but you know what you can do, you know your strengths are

:44:32. > :44:37.coming up and you have to deliver on them. You have to keep changing your

:44:37. > :44:41.philosophy throughout and being competitive, knowing you have to

:44:41. > :44:47.react if your nearest rival is really on the game. But here you see

:44:47. > :44:57.her jump, she does not panic, she knows it is good enough, but she is

:44:57. > :44:58.

:44:58. > :45:01.driving for the line and working well. The key thing with the

:45:01. > :45:04.heptathlon is that, you know, it is seven events, you cannot lose your

:45:04. > :45:06.focus for one second and you cannot panic until you cross the line.

:45:06. > :45:12.when you have a field about you running away from you and you think

:45:12. > :45:16.I am not doing very well, you have to be incredibly mentally tough.

:45:16. > :45:21.Yes, you cannot afford to panic. We saw that at the Olympics last year

:45:21. > :45:28.where she knew she was good enough and she knows she is still learning,

:45:28. > :45:34.she is only 20 - there is a lot of room for growth here. Colin, you

:45:35. > :45:40.were intensely watching her technique? Yes, I was watching how

:45:40. > :45:43.soft and gentle she is into the first hurdle, but once she felt more

:45:43. > :45:49.confident she rose very well off every single barrier. All she needs

:45:49. > :45:57.to do is push into the first hurdle a little bit and she will lose

:45:57. > :46:05.tenths of seconds. Jess is always a regular 13 second hurdler, I think

:46:05. > :46:08.Katarina can get there, too. If you're watching on the TV, it is not

:46:08. > :46:17.the only way to keep in touch with the World Athletics Championships on

:47:08. > :47:14.hear from you, send us your tweets and we will read them out. Be nice

:47:14. > :47:20.to us, especially Denise because we have been giving her a hard time!

:47:20. > :47:30.Women's long jump last night, we had high hopes for Shara Proctor, it did

:47:30. > :47:44.

:47:44. > :47:49.not quite turn out as we had hoped. She seemed to be in such good

:47:49. > :47:56.position going into yet, the longest distance in qualifying, 6.85. There

:47:56. > :48:04.is no point jumping big distances throughout the year, then folding

:48:04. > :48:09.when it counts. To do seem to be very tight. She didn't look very

:48:09. > :48:19.fluid. I think she was concentrating on getting as fast as she possibly

:48:19. > :48:24.could. One of the things that you needs to long jumpers give yourself

:48:24. > :48:33.a certain amount of range of the board. In trying to run really fast,

:48:33. > :48:39.she didn't get much left. Absolutely. Through the middle of

:48:39. > :48:44.her run-up, it was too short and tight, the penultimate fit that you

:48:44. > :48:54.needed to go into the take-off was not quite right. It is so

:48:54. > :49:04.

:49:04. > :49:10.frustrating. When you go on the runway, she must be thinking to

:49:10. > :49:14.yourself, I am capable of doing this jump and if I do this jump, I will

:49:14. > :49:19.win the gold medal. I think sometimes that can be overwhelming

:49:19. > :49:25.for an athlete. It is in your grasp. Sometimes it is difficult to deal

:49:25. > :49:30.with that. Get up to the level of anxiety, then just staggered back

:49:30. > :49:35.just a fraction. If you can do that, it leaves you your beautiful fluency

:49:35. > :49:40.that you have worked so hard to achieve. This is where the coach is

:49:40. > :49:45.very important. If they can see that the athlete is tight, not too much

:49:45. > :49:51.information, maybe just one instruction. If I was her coach at

:49:51. > :50:01.that stage, I would have been sent just relax. It is a hard thing to

:50:01. > :50:05.

:50:05. > :50:10.put into practice. She does remind me, Philip Sidhu would, he couldn't

:50:10. > :50:14.seem to massive vacation early on in his career. It took awhile to learn

:50:14. > :50:24.his trade. Once he got there, he ended up being world champion.

:50:24. > :50:30.Hopefully that is a good sign for Sara Proctor. I love watching

:50:30. > :50:36.Britney Rees, because she doesn't have any technique! How dare you say

:50:36. > :50:42.that about a 7.25 metre jump! Her problem is inconsistency. She nearly

:50:42. > :50:50.didn't make it into the final. As you know, it only takes one jump.

:50:50. > :50:57.That was enough to win the competition. Consistency, she does

:50:57. > :51:04.manage to put together a good championship record. Yes, she is a

:51:04. > :51:10.strong jumper. Her technique is not pretty to watch, is it? We are used

:51:10. > :51:14.to seeing people like Carl Lewis, he is so beautifully fluent. These

:51:14. > :51:22.people have an enormous amount of natural talent with a huge amount of

:51:22. > :51:31.spring. There is that story of the American talking to the Russian who

:51:31. > :51:35.says I really like your style, but I love my distance better. Well, if

:51:35. > :51:41.someone would just get a hold of this young lady from Kenya, she

:51:42. > :51:47.could do wonders in this event. She is raw talents. She is strong,

:51:47. > :51:57.powerful, but when she gets in the air, it is just messy. She over

:51:57. > :51:58.

:51:58. > :52:08.rotates, is not able to hold her upper body. She is a medallist at

:52:08. > :52:32.

:52:32. > :52:38.the Olympics. I believe... One of the problems for Blessing Okagbare

:52:38. > :52:48.is that she is almost too quick on the long jump. Blessing Okagbare

:52:48. > :52:53.

:52:53. > :52:57.almost seemed to see more discipline than Sara Proctor. That discipline

:52:57. > :53:03.bidder in a better position to plant of the board. Once she leaves the

:53:03. > :53:08.board, looks terrible. Going into it, it is pretty good. I don't know

:53:09. > :53:14.what your approach was to the run-up, but it is Mr different style

:53:14. > :53:21.of running, isn't it? You stride, then increase your cadence. It is

:53:21. > :53:28.power with control. The most important stride of those last five

:53:28. > :53:38.straight into the board. Blessing Okagbare does that really well. I

:53:38. > :53:46.

:53:46. > :53:54.tried to generates speed, but also relax. I have never seen Shara

:53:54. > :53:59.Proctor do that Sprint position before, she drove out. I thought,

:53:59. > :54:04.why do that? Trust would you can do you don't change it. I was very

:54:04. > :54:10.surprised. She will learn from this. Let she said in interview, she

:54:10. > :54:16.will learn from it, her season isn't over. We will have bowed to the

:54:16. > :54:26.track, I think. We have the steeplechase. It is good morning to

:54:26. > :54:40.

:54:40. > :54:43.Thankfully, not the weather we had last night. You might assume that

:54:43. > :54:50.amazing picture of Usain Bolt with the lightning bolt coming down in

:54:50. > :54:59.the background. I don't know if that were photo shop or not. Brendan

:54:59. > :55:09.doesn't know what photos shoppers! Yes, I do! Do know that one. We are

:55:09. > :55:10.

:55:10. > :55:20.happy to look forward to these heats of the men steeplechase. So, we are

:55:20. > :55:41.

:55:41. > :55:45.looking for a good shoe, in an event that they're pretty much owned in

:55:45. > :55:49.the next couple of -- in the last couple of years. James Wilkinson

:55:49. > :55:59.forbids Mogul in the second heat. Not only people in the stadium this

:55:59. > :55:59.

:55:59. > :56:04.morning. -- James Wilkinson goes for Britain in the second heat. As you

:56:04. > :56:14.can see, the 3,000 metres steeplechase, the water jump on the

:56:14. > :56:17.

:56:17. > :56:27.outside of the track, so they have just over seven laps. There is Abel

:56:27. > :56:29.

:56:29. > :56:31.Kiprop Mutai, maybe not one of the best-known Kenyan steeplechasers. I

:56:31. > :56:37.was watching Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad in Paris on the

:56:37. > :56:44.Diamond Lake, he had at brave effort to trampy the magical it minute

:56:44. > :56:54.barrier. He was just outside of its. The home crowd, about 50,000

:56:54. > :57:00.

:57:00. > :57:05.people, were wishing him to do that, but he didn't quite do it. There is

:57:05. > :57:15.the Russian, Ilgizar Safiullin, getting the home support. There is

:57:15. > :57:16.

:57:16. > :57:20.the great Benjamin Kiplagat. Let's see if these efforts can get the

:57:21. > :57:27.best out of themselves this early in the morning! They just want to get

:57:27. > :57:31.over the first barrier safely. The normal -- they normally have a

:57:31. > :57:37.double barrier for the first one, don't they, are the only have one

:57:37. > :57:43.barrier here? Benjamin Kiplagat raced for that barrier on the

:57:43. > :57:49.outside. He handled it pretty efficiently. It has been really,

:57:49. > :57:54.really warm him -- warm here in the last couple of days. The distance

:57:54. > :57:57.runners run in the morning, running two sessions a day with the first

:57:57. > :58:01.one starting early in the morning. Some of them don't like racing in

:58:01. > :58:11.the morning. You have got to get used it, because that is what

:58:11. > :58:11.

:58:11. > :58:14.happens. Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad, the Olympic

:58:14. > :58:22.silver medallist, giving them a bit of daylight at the back of the

:58:22. > :58:25.field. You can see the varying techniques over the water jump. Some

:58:25. > :58:30.of the Africans, especially when they are going at full speed, love

:58:30. > :58:35.to go straight over the barrier into the water without touching the

:58:35. > :58:45.barrier at all. Engine and the gap has said offered a really good speed

:58:45. > :58:45.

:58:45. > :58:52.here. Maybe a few morning nerves for the Ugandan. He is reasonably

:58:52. > :58:56.experienced at this level. He was at the Beijing games as a 19-year-old.

:58:56. > :59:06.He is taking them off at a reasonable let here. Mahiedine

:59:06. > :59:13.

:59:13. > :59:23.Mekhissi-Benabbad will mind. The Spaniards have been really cute in

:59:23. > :59:23.

:59:23. > :59:26.this event over the years. Brendan, when you're in the first heat of

:59:26. > :59:34.three, I'm not sure Benjamin Kiplagat is doing yourself a

:59:34. > :59:39.favour, but he is giving others the chance of getting through with this

:59:39. > :59:44.six Steelers qualifiers gone through. He has the Olympic silver

:59:44. > :59:54.and bronze medallist in this race. There is only one real chance for

:59:54. > :59:58.

:59:58. > :00:03.him, and that is the way he is seeing it. Yuri Floriani has decided

:00:03. > :00:13.to catch up with him. Benjamin Kiplagat is still pressing on. Yuri

:00:13. > :00:20.Floriani has decided that he wants to be safe, be comfortable. Two

:00:20. > :00:24.minutes and 44 seconds, that is a good speed. When you consider that

:00:24. > :00:28.Yuri Floriani's best is eight minutes and 32, you would wonder

:00:28. > :00:38.what he is doing going off so fast. This speed has stretched everybody

:00:38. > :00:43.

:00:43. > :00:51.out. Benjamin Kiplagat, you can see him running a hard race. Benjamin

:00:51. > :00:57.Kiplagat is doing... If he had taken about at eight minutes and 20 speed,

:00:57. > :01:04.that would have been fine. He has gone out a lot faster than that.

:01:04. > :01:09.Yuri Floriani is tucked in behind him. He is pulling the talent to the

:01:09. > :01:14.front, he is doing his job. Abel Kiprop Mutai moving into second

:01:14. > :01:20.place, Mahiedine Mekhissi bidding into third place. Richard Kepler gap

:01:20. > :01:30.has done a job here, he is hurtling strongly, running strongly. The two

:01:30. > :01:30.

:01:30. > :01:34.Olympic medallist are taking the natural place in this event.

:01:34. > :01:38.He is giving himself an insurance policy - he is running quick, and he

:01:38. > :01:48.is also running into position in the first three. The Spanish athletes

:01:48. > :01:49.

:01:49. > :01:53.are moving up there, Mullera, years running well, too. This is the only

:01:53. > :01:59.event where the photographers, they normally stay at the finishing line,

:01:59. > :02:05.but for this event they cried round the track.

:02:05. > :02:11.I think they are after a car crash picture. None is so far. The

:02:11. > :02:21.Canadian runner, Matthew Hughes, he has how about -- is having a

:02:21. > :02:27.

:02:27. > :02:37.cracking year so far. Mullera of Spain, Mutai, as they start to close

:02:37. > :02:39.

:02:40. > :02:42.in on Kiplagat. They cannot relax because while Matthew Hughes and

:02:42. > :02:48.Mullera are there, they could easily go through this. I am not sure the

:02:48. > :02:52.other two heats of anyone who will take it as hard as this.

:02:52. > :03:02.Into the water jump, so far they are hurdling the bar straight into the

:03:02. > :03:03.

:03:03. > :03:09.water, as you get tired sometimes you step on the bar. Floriani is

:03:09. > :03:13.fading away from that one, they are all safely through the water. Two

:03:13. > :03:17.laps to go. We're looking for the 2000 metres time, they must be

:03:17. > :03:23.through that now, we missed that one, it has not come up on the

:03:23. > :03:31.screen. With two laps to go, Kiplagat leads, Mullera in Spain --

:03:31. > :03:35.from Spain in second place. There is a group of five of them now, three

:03:35. > :03:40.places to take. This strong pace has continued in the second kilometre

:03:40. > :03:50.and they are giving themselves a chance of qualification,

:03:50. > :03:54.

:03:54. > :04:01.qualification for the first three and the sixth fastest losers. Try it

:04:01. > :04:11.-- Luchianov getting onto that back three there, as well. They move into

:04:11. > :04:17.the penultimate negotiation of the water jump, safely over. There is

:04:17. > :04:21.still an opportunity here for six men. Luchianov is getting onto this

:04:21. > :04:27.back for. They are thinking, we have come this far. Matthew Hughes had

:04:27. > :04:37.has a great year and he looks really strong as they take the bell.

:04:37. > :04:38.

:04:38. > :04:42.Matthew Hughes from Canada, 8.20 is his personal best. The two Olympic

:04:42. > :04:46.medallists are there, Kiplagat has faded away and Mullera still has a

:04:46. > :04:56.race to run. Hughes is really striking out, giving himself an

:04:56. > :05:01.

:05:01. > :05:08.opportunity, as temp -- Mutai comes back. He is hurting committee is

:05:08. > :05:14.driving, you can see that. Mutai has just done enough and they come to

:05:14. > :05:22.the last water jump, he is over safely. The first three are clear of

:05:22. > :05:32.Mullera. It has been a fast, hard first round

:05:32. > :05:32.

:05:32. > :05:37.race here. Hughes can relax. Mutai almost went down at that last

:05:37. > :05:47.barrier. Hughes is jogging across the line and we'll knock four

:05:47. > :05:47.

:05:47. > :05:54.seconds of his personal best. Mutai holds on for third, Luchianov, they

:05:55. > :06:01.have every opportunity for fastest losers. Kiplagat will so have a

:06:01. > :06:04.chance, two more seats to come, you let it out at such a hard place. I

:06:04. > :06:10.am really impressed with the Canadian, you have to question

:06:10. > :06:15.whether he needed to go as hard on that last lap. He took it easy for

:06:15. > :06:19.the last 200m or so. He pushed really hard here. When you knock

:06:19. > :06:26.four seconds off your best and jog across the line he obviously has

:06:26. > :06:31.more in attack. It is a dilemma for an athlete of

:06:31. > :06:41.his ability. When he got to the bell he would have seen his time, and now

:06:41. > :06:45.

:06:45. > :06:51.years relaxing. Mekhissi drifting towards the front. Into the

:06:51. > :06:54.finishing straight, 7.59. He could have taken a chunk of his personal

:06:54. > :07:00.best, and it is a dilemma for an athlete, because he has run faster

:07:00. > :07:10.than ever before, he has jogged over the finishing line, he has made a

:07:10. > :07:13.

:07:13. > :07:16.personal best, but then he has to do it again. Look out quickly Mullera

:07:16. > :07:22.closes on Mutai. Both of them should have been more careful there, that

:07:22. > :07:27.was a little bit too close for comfort. Mekhissi breezes past

:07:27. > :07:31.Matthew Hughes and now he has to go away and do it all again, let's hope

:07:32. > :07:36.he can because he is clearly capable of running a lot faster than he did

:07:36. > :07:41.today. Hopefully he can do it in the final, that is where you would want

:07:41. > :07:45.to do it, but he will be happy with that, he is bound to be. This man,

:07:45. > :07:48.Mekhissi, is going to be a challenger, the Kenyan athlete we

:07:48. > :07:51.expected to dominate the expected to dominate the

:07:51. > :07:51.steeplechase. Beautiful style, beautiful technique over the

:07:51. > :08:01.beautiful technique over the barriers, powerful runner. Good

:08:01. > :08:03.

:08:03. > :08:12.We have the better Kenyans to come, of course is a deal to end the --

:08:12. > :08:22.will be in the next race. Those times are fast, following on the top

:08:22. > :08:22.

:08:22. > :08:26.three. Brett Morse going for a great

:08:26. > :08:31.Britain, second on the all-time list, behind Lawrence Okoye, who has

:08:31. > :08:38.turned his back on athletics to concentrate on American football.

:08:38. > :08:42.That is around 60 metres for Brett Morse, British champion this year

:08:42. > :08:46.under the tutelage of Andy Britton, his coach in Wales. The big

:08:46. > :08:51.Birchfield Harrier needs more. The top six at the moment are all over

:08:51. > :08:58.62 metres and we have another group to come, so I can't see anyone

:08:58. > :09:04.qualifying, really, if they have not thrown around 63. 59.23 his best so

:09:04. > :09:09.far. James Wilkinson goes for Great

:09:09. > :09:19.Britain in the next group of the 3000m steeplechase, let's hear from

:09:19. > :09:19.

:09:19. > :09:24.3000m steeplechase, let's hear from I think it is all about development

:09:24. > :09:30.for me. I am 23 years old and hopefully I can maybe get a personal

:09:30. > :09:34.best out there. It depends on conditions and how it is running,

:09:34. > :09:39.but it is about learning how the runs go and trying to make the

:09:39. > :09:41.final, as well. It is an honour to get the steeplechase back

:09:42. > :09:49.represented in the team when we don't have many enduring skies,

:09:49. > :09:54.compared to other years, anyway. Describe the process of taking those

:09:54. > :09:56.barriers and having the Indian and slapped after lap. There is 35 of

:09:56. > :10:01.them, it is difficult getting used to that.

:10:01. > :10:05.In the stadium you have the people all around you and you can even see

:10:05. > :10:10.the barriers. You can practice all day long on the track on your own,

:10:10. > :10:17.but when you get there you cannot see the barrier until a split-2nd

:10:17. > :10:27.before. The first lap it seems like nothing, the last two laps they seem

:10:27. > :10:30.

:10:30. > :10:35.Wilkinson, there he is in this second heat, sitting at the back,

:10:35. > :10:40.and it is an experience for him, because far closer to the front, we

:10:40. > :10:46.talk about the Kenyans reigning supreme. The man just in front of

:10:46. > :10:50.him is the king of them all, Ezekiel Kemboi. Evan Jager is there, as

:10:50. > :10:56.well, his blond hair bobbing along. The American may be able to get to

:10:56. > :11:00.the final but here is by no means certain of qualification. We talk

:11:00. > :11:06.about the fastest losing six, and that first heat was very quick. They

:11:06. > :11:13.knew what they had to do, it was a very quick heat, they have set down

:11:13. > :11:16.a good marker in that first heat. The first heat, very good times,

:11:17. > :11:21.they are jogging so far here. James Wilkinson wisely positioned itself

:11:21. > :11:25.so he can see the barrier on the outside. It is a learning experience

:11:25. > :11:30.coming to the World Championships and it is important for British

:11:30. > :11:35.distance runners to be represented in these events. If they don't get

:11:35. > :11:41.the challenges where are the incentives for the men training hard

:11:41. > :11:45.all year round? James Wilkinson has that chance. Qualification is tough,

:11:45. > :11:50.first three, then six fastest losers, but then can he do a

:11:50. > :11:55.personal best? We have just seen Matthew Hughes of Cameron -- Canada

:11:55. > :11:58.make a personal best, hopefully James can do similar. He is only 23

:11:58. > :12:03.years old, he could have a long career ahead, it is important this

:12:03. > :12:08.is a positive experience for him. Talking about experience, we have

:12:08. > :12:15.the man in front of him who is twice the world champion, twice Olympic

:12:15. > :12:19.champion, Ezekiel Kemboi. He is someone to try and learn from.

:12:19. > :12:23.Wilkinson won the UK Championships. Luke Gunn has been the UK's

:12:23. > :12:27.strongest steeplechase runner for a while, but he took some time out

:12:27. > :12:34.after failing to qualify for the Olympics. He got married to Hannah

:12:34. > :12:38.England, as well. James Wilkinson stepped in, took his UK title, he

:12:38. > :12:46.did not get the a standard for qualification, but as Brendan was

:12:46. > :12:56.saying, given the chance to compete here.

:12:56. > :12:56.

:12:56. > :12:59.One place ahead of him, Ezekiel Kemboi, the Olympic champion, as

:12:59. > :13:04.Gari starts a move through the field. James Wilkinson will have to

:13:04. > :13:07.start making a move through these athletes. The pace is clearly slower

:13:07. > :13:12.than the first round so qualification at this pace would be

:13:12. > :13:19.difficult in terms of fastest losers, because there was a fair few

:13:19. > :13:22.running a good time. 2.52 for the first 1000m. That is comfortably

:13:22. > :13:32.within James's range, he should be strong at that pace. He should now

:13:32. > :13:34.

:13:34. > :13:36.be able to gather a little bit of confidence, feeling good and looking

:13:37. > :13:39.to get in amongst these athletes. You're starting to move through,

:13:39. > :13:44.coming on the outside, it gives you a good view of the barrier, jostling

:13:44. > :13:49.for position there. Just bide your time, James, on the outside. Into

:13:49. > :13:59.the street, now it is about running hard. Gari on the inside of him, the

:13:59. > :14:00.

:14:00. > :14:07.other Canadian, Genest ahead of him. James is running well now.

:14:07. > :14:11.He is running well in the middle of things, steady in that first heat --

:14:11. > :14:16.slower than that first heat when Kiplagat went out ahead of them and

:14:16. > :14:23.set the pace, running like English Gardner, running hard. He's in a

:14:23. > :14:33.good position at the moment, James Wilkinson, any dissident -- decent

:14:33. > :14:53.

:14:53. > :14:59.finish in this field would be something to take back and build on.

:14:59. > :15:08.We need to find some 1,500m runners, give them the chance to train over

:15:08. > :15:18.the barriers. This steeplechase tours are the poor relations. -- it

:15:18. > :15:19.

:15:19. > :15:25.is 22 years since we had is an athlete for Britain have a really

:15:25. > :15:35.good, world competitive time. We need cultures to start getting some

:15:35. > :15:43.

:15:43. > :15:50.of her 1,500m runners to aim for have done well at this event in the

:15:50. > :16:00.past, but it largely false to the East Africans night. The French have

:16:00. > :16:13.

:16:13. > :16:20.now. It has real talent around him. Jane should be capable of running at

:16:20. > :16:28.this speed, to this time. He has to start putting down a marker. Two

:16:28. > :16:34.laps to go. He is thinking about running hard to the finish, and he

:16:34. > :16:44.will have two. He said he wanted our personal best, but this is looking

:16:44. > :16:45.

:16:45. > :16:50.tough for him. If there is a character in this event in the whole

:16:50. > :17:00.world, it has to be Ezekiel Kemboi. He already would be in the argument

:17:00. > :17:03.

:17:03. > :17:09.for the greatest runner of the steeplechase of all time. He has

:17:09. > :17:19.Roberto Alaiz with life at the back. He needs to get going. Will he get

:17:19. > :17:24.

:17:24. > :17:32.through as one of the six fastest losers? We were talking about the

:17:32. > :17:37.French pedigree in this event, and there is Noureddine Smail. James

:17:38. > :17:41.Wilkinson is trying to bridge the crap from the second group up to the

:17:41. > :17:50.first grip. He is still running strongly. Noureddine Smail from

:17:50. > :17:55.France leads. Watch Ezekiel Kemboi, I'm sure he will put on some kind of

:17:56. > :18:02.shoe. He will try to win this one. James has just gone through the

:18:02. > :18:09.motions night. He is finding it really difficult. Ezekiel Kemboi is

:18:09. > :18:19.being challenged night. There we go, Ezekiel Kemboi, the defending

:18:19. > :18:36.

:18:36. > :18:40.group will go through. The Canadian trying to go through. That was a

:18:40. > :18:46.stumble from Noureddine Smail. That could cost them! He has gathered his

:18:46. > :18:52.lament. Those first three go through automatically. Noureddine Smail

:18:52. > :18:59.comes through for third place. James Wilkinson coming across the line.

:18:59. > :19:05.will not be a personal best for James Wilkinson. That is a bit

:19:05. > :19:08.disappointing. This was his chance. It was his opportunity to run a

:19:08. > :19:17.personal best. You give soccer chants, but physically he wasn't

:19:17. > :19:22.capable. There they go, Noureddine Smail on the inside. There was the

:19:22. > :19:32.Olympic champion, Ezekiel Kemboi. He is being challenged by Evan Jager.

:19:32. > :19:32.

:19:33. > :19:37.Noureddine Smail looks across. All three of them are safely over. Now

:19:37. > :19:44.into the finishing straight. Neither tartness starts to set in.

:19:44. > :19:49.Noureddine Smail is in third place. You could see the stumble by

:19:49. > :19:55.Noureddine Smail and it cost him a little bit of time. Noureddine Smail

:19:55. > :20:01.just keeps it going, gathers and sob again. Ezekiel Kemboi was on the

:20:01. > :20:07.outside, ready to do. Very impressive performance by Evan

:20:07. > :20:13.Jager. He has been really impressive since he moved up from the 1,500m.

:20:13. > :20:20.Noureddine Smail was really lucky he didn't fall. Evan Jager is a good

:20:20. > :20:25.athlete. If there is a British athlete who might not be at the top

:20:25. > :20:35.echelon at a certain distance but might do what Evan Jager did,

:20:35. > :20:37.

:20:38. > :20:42.convert the steeplechase. There is James Wilkinson just coming in. The

:20:42. > :20:52.fastest losers will properly come from the first heat as it was a fast

:20:52. > :21:00.

:21:00. > :21:10.ahead of Ezekiel Kemboi. Noureddine Smail did well to come in third

:21:10. > :21:11.

:21:11. > :21:17.after stumbling over the last this big global stage? It was

:21:17. > :21:26.tough. A great experience. It was lucky that my heat was the slower of

:21:26. > :21:30.the two so far. When the sheets came out I thought they are done well,

:21:30. > :21:39.less competitors than everybody else, to great competitors in my

:21:39. > :21:43.race. The first part of the race was too slow. I could see them moving

:21:43. > :21:49.member decided to back it up, but it is hard when everyone is jostling

:21:49. > :21:52.for position all the time. I have never been in a race when they are

:21:52. > :21:59.so many people on edge, basically. They are all trying to get the

:21:59. > :22:09.inside lane into the barrier. I give it a go. A .35 is OK, not a

:22:09. > :22:09.

:22:09. > :22:19.disaster. I know you wanted a personal best. But that is all part

:22:19. > :22:27.of the learning curve. I have to learn what to do to qualify for

:22:27. > :22:31.finals and from there. I tried is, or thought about, making it fast for

:22:31. > :22:36.myself. That might have been suicidal. I probably would not

:22:36. > :22:39.finished any higher than I did. It is all about learning what I need to

:22:39. > :22:49.do and coming away positive and wanted to come back in progress.

:22:49. > :23:11.

:23:11. > :23:21.men's discus. Here is Robert Urbanek, the Polish number two. That

:23:21. > :23:27.

:23:28. > :23:32.could be really close to the 65 major qualification line. I think it

:23:32. > :23:38.is fair to say that Brett Morse will make it, he has just gone over the

:23:38. > :23:48.50m line. I think Robert Urbanek will go through as one of the top 12

:23:48. > :23:55.

:23:56. > :24:01.performers. So, there we have the situation. Robert Harting leading

:24:01. > :24:05.the way, he has won just about everything. There you can see Brett

:24:05. > :24:15.Morse. I don't think Brett Morse will take any further part in this

:24:15. > :24:17.

:24:17. > :24:24.competition. We have had one fast, and another

:24:24. > :24:34.middling heat. It'll be interesting to see what tactics employed here. I

:24:34. > :24:37.

:24:37. > :24:47.think this is the big future for Kenyan steeplechasing here.

:24:47. > :24:50.

:24:50. > :25:00.Conseslus Kipruto is the world junior champion. Paul Kipsiele Koech

:25:00. > :25:23.

:25:23. > :25:27.selectors. This young man has all the attributes. For France,

:25:27. > :25:33.Conseslus Kipruto was a really good 1,500m runner, and then moved up to

:25:33. > :25:43.the steeplechase. So, there are years, the former world junior

:25:43. > :25:43.

:25:43. > :25:46.champion, Conseslus Kipruto. I think is of running under eight minutes.

:25:46. > :25:51.There is Paul Kipsiele Koech. He wins for fun sometimes on the

:25:51. > :26:00.Diamond league circuit. He is a bronze medallist from the leopards

:26:00. > :26:06.back in 2004. He can't run at altitude. He does not do well at the

:26:06. > :26:10.trials, but they decided to keep faith with him. I think that is a

:26:10. > :26:20.good decision by the Kenyan team management, not that the always make

:26:20. > :26:31.

:26:31. > :26:37.good decisions, but I think that is slowly, and his team-mate the

:26:37. > :26:46.opposite, racing to the first barrier. Let's hear the all

:26:46. > :26:50.negotiated safely. Everybody is over OK. We always see a double barrier

:26:50. > :26:58.for the first barrier because there is such a big fields. It would be a

:26:58. > :27:06.bit unfortunate if you didn't get to the barrier, you could be pushed off

:27:06. > :27:16.to the side and be disqualified! Can you have dominated this event for

:27:16. > :27:17.

:27:17. > :27:23.many years. It'll be interesting to see Paul Kipsiele Koech, the third

:27:23. > :27:28.fastest man of running the steeplechase of all time. It is

:27:28. > :27:32.interesting that he can't run at altitude. He is at the back of the

:27:32. > :27:38.field, getting the nerves out of the system. The Kenyan selectors have

:27:38. > :27:41.stayed with him, and I think that is wise. It is not a big gamble in the

:27:41. > :27:50.steeplechase, because they have about three others who could do

:27:50. > :28:00.well. Conseslus Kipruto is looking over his shoulder. Paul Kipsiele

:28:00. > :28:07.

:28:08. > :28:15.Koech has moved into fourth place, into third place now. Tarik Langat

:28:15. > :28:23.Akdag used to run from Kenya, Nye runs for Turkey. -- is now running

:28:23. > :28:33.for Turkey. If you're keeping an eye on your stopwatch for the sixth

:28:33. > :28:46.

:28:47. > :28:54.fastest losers, it will be anything than they did in the first heat.

:28:54. > :29:03.This guy, Conseslus Kipruto, for me, they had an embarrassment of

:29:03. > :29:07.riches at the junior championships. They have to run so fast to win the

:29:08. > :29:17.world junior title. He is so much ability. I liked the way he runs, he

:29:18. > :29:33.

:29:33. > :29:37.is a nice looking runner. Goodspeed Kipruto off the track in the Diamond

:29:37. > :29:44.league this year. It wasn't very nice to see because Ezekiel Kemboi

:29:44. > :29:50.is the elder statesman of Kenyan running, in the steeplechase anyway.

:29:50. > :29:59.He did apologise afterwards. He did expect the elder statesman to

:29:59. > :30:04.encourage the youngster. This young man, Conseslus Kipruto, the junior

:30:04. > :30:11.world champion, he sees the steeplechase as the opportunity to

:30:11. > :30:15.travel the world winning records. In Britain, the steeplechase, the

:30:15. > :30:21.distance runners turn away from it. They will do anything but the

:30:21. > :30:25.steeplechase, don't they, Steve? It is a hard event. You have to have a

:30:25. > :30:33.really good background. We have plenty of good people with good

:30:33. > :30:43.endurance background and Goodspeed. We have Mark Rowlands. We had three

:30:43. > :30:52.

:30:52. > :30:57.men in the final in 1983. That's the standard for British distance

:30:57. > :31:01.runners, but you would not they suggested him to try this one!

:31:01. > :31:06.He has a lot of challenges in his life, he is supposedly going to be

:31:06. > :31:11.racing against Usain Bolt, there is going to box against Amir Khan, he

:31:11. > :31:16.is supposed to be playing football for Arsenal, all we want him to do

:31:16. > :31:22.is to come here and win the gold medal!

:31:22. > :31:26.He is a big star in British and world athletics, and it is

:31:26. > :31:30.inevitable he keeps getting asked to do these things. I am not sure that

:31:30. > :31:39.race against Usain Bolt will ever happen, it would be nice to see it,

:31:39. > :31:49.but... Anyway, Kipruto has moved up to fourth place. Sebastien Marcos of

:31:49. > :31:50.

:31:50. > :31:56.Spain just on the inside. The pace has picked up, Kowal is maybe

:31:56. > :32:06.sensing that. What do you think of the French strip, you are a bit of a

:32:06. > :32:09.

:32:09. > :32:14.fashion an adult, -- aficionado, dark blue? I quite like it!

:32:14. > :32:21.Anyway, it has been interesting that Kipruto has been happy to be at the

:32:21. > :32:26.front, Koech taking his opportunity well. Top three, don't forget, and

:32:26. > :32:29.the pace they are going here, still opportunities with two laps to go,

:32:29. > :32:39.there are plenty of men that have a chance to go through as fastest

:32:39. > :32:44.

:32:44. > :32:48.losers. Tarik Langat Akdag moving up, as well. They are running fast,

:32:48. > :32:53.there are many fast qualifiers. There are positions available, they

:32:53. > :32:57.are not too fast. Lick out the difference in that technique, the

:32:57. > :33:07.way that young Kipruto goes over the barriers. The Frenchman, Kowal,

:33:07. > :33:09.

:33:09. > :33:14.looking strong. Paul Kipsiele Koech should looking good. He has not done

:33:14. > :33:23.any favours, that young man, you would have thought he would have

:33:23. > :33:32.given him a bit of a breather! Haven't is a need, just at the back

:33:32. > :33:39.of that group, there, the Moroccan. Tarik Langat Akdag has MIDI,

:33:39. > :33:46.surprisingly, 's has surprisingly may be moved away from this top

:33:46. > :33:52.group. Don't forget, I said anything under 8.25 would be good enough.

:33:52. > :33:56.There they go on the last lap, the competition really starts. Koech has

:33:56. > :34:04.not been in front yet, but there he goes, this is a chance. They are

:34:04. > :34:09.stretching already and the gap begins to open. Kipruto has done all

:34:09. > :34:12.the work, I don't see why you should let him past now. But they are doing

:34:12. > :34:16.it together, cooperating. They are talking to each other, settling

:34:16. > :34:21.down, the information from the young man, the pretender. That was pretty

:34:21. > :34:27.good, that was pretty comfortable. He is keeping an eye out what is

:34:27. > :34:32.going behind, both over the barrier, one with a foot on, one

:34:32. > :34:35.straight over, and they have a fairly comfortable qualification.

:34:35. > :34:45.Yes, they don't want to be silly, they sprinted out that hurdle and

:34:45. > :34:46.

:34:46. > :34:55.almost had a stumble. Kowal is celebrating already. Watch that

:34:55. > :35:05.time, hammered Issey Neet will definitely got through, -- Amit Izzy

:35:05. > :35:10.

:35:10. > :35:15.Neet -- Hamid Ezzine is definitely through. Fairly cut and dried, these

:35:15. > :35:23.two with the likes of Mutai, Evan Jager running well, and the Canadian

:35:23. > :35:29.run was pretty well, as well, in that first heat. For Kenyans through

:35:29. > :35:38.to the final, young Kipruto did all the work, orchestrated proceedings

:35:38. > :35:46.on the last lap. He was telling Paul Kipsiele Koech should what is going

:35:46. > :35:49.on. -- Paul Kipsiele Koech Schwab is going on. I think this young man is

:35:49. > :35:57.going to get in amongst them, I think he will have a chance of a

:35:57. > :36:01.medal. Koech, the third fastest steeplechaser of all time, now given

:36:01. > :36:11.a chance in the championships, he has not been selected for a while

:36:11. > :36:13.

:36:13. > :36:23.because of his inability to run the trials in Kenya. Kipruto, 18 years

:36:23. > :36:29.old, good performance, he knows what he is doing, and a good performance

:36:29. > :36:34.by Kowal of France. Ezzine has a chance to go through as one of the

:36:34. > :36:42.fastest losers. Remember the name of Kipruto, I think we will see him in

:36:42. > :36:46.the final. The first three fairly clear and ten

:36:46. > :36:51.three will go through as fastest loser, but nobody else from that

:36:51. > :36:54.third heat. That is the unofficial results, we will try and get the

:36:54. > :37:03.fastest losers for you once they have gone through the official

:37:03. > :37:08.JONATHAN EDWARDS: You have to love watching the Kenyans steeplechase,

:37:08. > :37:12.plenty more great action to come this morning.

:37:12. > :37:17.The hurdling maybe other slightly better nature when we see Dai Greene

:37:17. > :37:21.take to the track, the defending champion. It is the heats of the

:37:22. > :37:26.400m hurdles. Watch out for the Americans, there are always tough in

:37:26. > :37:36.this event. Perri Shakes-Drayton, what a season for her so far after

:37:36. > :37:38.

:37:38. > :37:43.Proctor last eight in the long jump, but no such disappointment on the

:37:43. > :37:47.first day of the championships from Mo Farah. Brendan Foster has caught

:37:47. > :37:51.up with the newly crowned 10,000m world champion.

:37:51. > :37:57.It was definitely a hard race, I may be the favourite but sometimes that

:37:57. > :38:00.makes it even harder because you feel all of that pressure.

:38:00. > :38:04.You originally nervous yesterday, and the first couple of laps you

:38:04. > :38:09.were at the back, that has become a trademark. I was really nervous, so

:38:09. > :38:14.I aimed to start at the back and work my way through, get closer to

:38:14. > :38:17.the guys with 5k to go. Sometimes in a race when it is hard you don't

:38:17. > :38:24.need to go straight to the front and kill yourself, just gradually worked

:38:24. > :38:29.your way through. To be honest, I thought the Ethiopian guys at the

:38:29. > :38:34.race would be a lot faster. I stayed towards the back a bit and worked

:38:35. > :38:41.together to close the gap towards the end.

:38:41. > :38:49.All the way, your race tactics were, slow when it is...

:38:49. > :38:52.-- the slower it is... The better for me. He is looking, he

:38:52. > :39:02.is his wing man, his lieu tenant and he has him there with 600 metres to

:39:02. > :39:07.

:39:07. > :39:11.It is now every man for himself. I was surprised there were not more

:39:11. > :39:15.men in there, then with 500 metres to go Jeilan was making a move

:39:15. > :39:20.coming up the outside. With one lap I still saw him behind, so I was

:39:20. > :39:30.thinking, Gore hard year. Make sure you have something left because I

:39:30. > :39:35.did not want to make the same mistake as I did in Daegu. I was

:39:35. > :39:39.just thinking, he is there. I was looking at him, thinking, he is

:39:39. > :39:46.coming, but I was stronger, so I was able to push and push and push and

:39:46. > :39:50.push. Jeilan comes again! How determined

:39:50. > :39:54.where you? He was definitely coming past, it

:39:54. > :39:58.was just like, no, I have waited two years for this, everything is on the

:39:58. > :40:02.line. This is world domination for Mo

:40:02. > :40:06.Farah, he is world champion! What do we have to look forward to,

:40:06. > :40:12.the heats of the 5000m? You will not look forward to that.

:40:12. > :40:16.No. I will just wait, qualify, recover and hopefully get ready for

:40:16. > :40:22.the final, but I think the final will be quite exciting. Let's have a

:40:22. > :40:25.chat with Steve Cram, a wonderful performance from Mo, and in that

:40:25. > :40:30.interview you got an idea of how much fat lost two years ago hurt

:40:30. > :40:33.him. Yes, because he went as a bit of a

:40:33. > :40:36.favourite to win that, and when you come in as a favourite it is

:40:36. > :40:39.different, as you know, it is something different to content

:40:39. > :40:44.with. He thought he had it right and when

:40:44. > :40:47.you do all the things you think you need to do in a race and someone

:40:47. > :40:53.passes you on the home straight it can set in a lot of self-doubt. He

:40:53. > :41:02.had a period, I remember talking to him after that 10,000m in Daegu and

:41:02. > :41:05.saying, you did not do too much wrong, it was a question of timing,

:41:05. > :41:08.you have all the attributes you need you just need to going to the 5000m

:41:08. > :41:10.and execute differently. That is the great thing about Mo Farah these

:41:10. > :41:14.days, he is brilliant now about going into big races and doing

:41:14. > :41:19.exactly what he needs to do to win. The question is, I am sure you are

:41:19. > :41:23.going to ask me this, when we look at the 5000m, again, is anyone going

:41:23. > :41:28.to do something to make him have to rethink his tactics, make him do

:41:28. > :41:35.something different? I am not sure anyone in the 10k was capable of

:41:35. > :41:40.it, 5000 is perhaps different. We chatted about it yesterday, do

:41:40. > :41:46.you think they would have been? In Mo Farah's mind that he was not as

:41:46. > :41:49.sharp over the last 500 metres as he would have expected? I think he was

:41:49. > :41:54.a little surprised at how difficult the race was, I think the conditions

:41:54. > :41:58.have had a bearing on that. It has changed today, some athletes

:41:58. > :42:03.have been talking about how heavy the air is and all of the athletes

:42:03. > :42:08.were really tired in that 10,000m. That is another reason, perhaps,

:42:08. > :42:11.quite nobody was able to do anything. Given everything we have

:42:11. > :42:19.seen from Mo the time was not as impressive as we would have thought,

:42:19. > :42:22.but it was what was required to win. When it comes to the 5000m it is not

:42:22. > :42:26.about saying, what will the last lap the? It is pointless second guessing

:42:26. > :42:31.that, he has to run the last lap to win the race. He had it three or

:42:31. > :42:36.four weeks ago, he will still have that, he just needs to recover from

:42:36. > :42:39.that 10,000m. He will be going through all the processes he went

:42:39. > :42:46.through in London, he will have a hypoxic tent, all of the guys

:42:46. > :42:52.looking after him, he acclimate is to the heat and he will move to what

:42:53. > :42:58.will be a tough final. There was talking about the Kenyans running in

:42:58. > :43:02.the 5000m rather than the 10,000m, hoping to take the sting from him in

:43:02. > :43:08.the 5000m, will they have taken heart from what they saw?

:43:08. > :43:13.Well, they would have looked at last that macro that last lap and

:43:13. > :43:20.thought, is Mo a little bit off now? Inevitably, they are looking for

:43:20. > :43:24.things to grasp and give the athletes confidence. At the

:43:25. > :43:29.beginning of the year we could have argued Mo was not prepared for an

:43:29. > :43:34.early race, they will look back to that, as well. There are plenty of

:43:34. > :43:39.others, you got the likes of Bernhard Langer, everywhere you look

:43:39. > :43:46.there are dangerous athletes in that 5000m that is not the same in the

:43:46. > :43:49.10,000m. Mo will have to be at his best, he will have to execute his

:43:49. > :43:54.race in a place that gets him where he wants to be, finally gets to the

:43:54. > :43:57.bell he will have to execute in the last lap. It is up to the others to

:43:57. > :44:02.try and make him do something different, changed his tactics and

:44:02. > :44:08.maybe not allow him to control things as he tends to in the last

:44:08. > :44:11.two laps. We will look forward to the 5000m heats and good luck to Mo,

:44:11. > :44:13.even though he does not like the mornings.

:44:14. > :44:18.We are looking at the 400m hurdles, Dai Greene comes as defending

:44:19. > :44:23.champion but not with the best build-up. It has been awful for him,

:44:23. > :44:27.let's be honest. From his injuries to illness, when

:44:27. > :44:30.you up world champion and all you are trying to do is hold onto your

:44:30. > :44:36.title, with all these other obstacles coming your way it is so

:44:36. > :44:46.frustrating and it will be so tough out there. Let's hear from Dai

:44:46. > :44:46.

:44:46. > :45:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:45:45. > :45:52.Greene and the other British competitors. It was quite a

:45:52. > :46:02.breakthrough year. I see these people on television,

:46:02. > :46:04.

:46:04. > :46:14.and idolise them. It is fantastic. I always wanted bit more. I will have

:46:14. > :46:15.

:46:15. > :46:24.to run every single round as the final. I'm a surprise myself. I know

:46:24. > :46:28.I'm capable of running quicker. one has really set the Starlight in

:46:28. > :46:34.the 400m hurdles and been dominant all season. Everyone has had their

:46:34. > :46:42.ups and downs. Of the leaf I can run to the best of my ability I will be

:46:42. > :46:48.in with a chance again. A strong trio. Sebastien Collins is

:46:48. > :46:55.the one that we don't know much about. We know he has the ability to

:46:55. > :47:00.win big races when he is under pressure. This is a very different

:47:00. > :47:07.ball game as there is talent all around. The 400 metre hurdles remain

:47:07. > :47:11.is going to be tough. There is no outstanding favourite. The races

:47:11. > :47:16.have not been particularly fast either. I think that if -- perhaps

:47:16. > :47:22.to the frustrations of Dai Greene. He would build he was anywhere near

:47:22. > :47:26.his best he would be a world leader, but he spent all of his summer

:47:26. > :47:31.struggling and trying to regain his form. It is a real opportunity for

:47:31. > :47:36.this man to really get some experience and shine. In terms of

:47:36. > :47:42.his expectations for this season, he would have targeted the under 23

:47:42. > :47:48.championship. This would've a bonus. This would've been an absolute

:47:48. > :47:57.bonus. There is nothing to lose when an athlete steps up to where the

:47:57. > :48:04.senior vest. He is a tidy the -- he is a tidy hurdler, he is fresh. He

:48:04. > :48:14.will be looking to see how you can do against this. The world leader is

:48:14. > :48:30.

:48:30. > :48:35.only entries are let's see how he wonderful progression. The first

:48:35. > :48:39.formal go through, and the fourth fastest from the heats will go

:48:39. > :48:48.through. It is incredibly difficult when this is your first taste of

:48:48. > :48:55.this event. It is a morning, not too many people in the stadium, lots

:48:55. > :49:01.going on around you. There are a few British fans, as ever, following the

:49:01. > :49:11.athletes around the world. He is up against the number one in the world

:49:11. > :49:19.

:49:19. > :49:29.this year, Michael Tinsley. Michael Tinsley will be in lane three. This

:49:29. > :49:36.

:49:36. > :49:41.hurdlers, Dai Greene has had all sorts of problems, but will be

:49:41. > :49:51.interesting to see how he performs. Rhys Williams is pretty shape.

:49:51. > :49:53.

:49:53. > :50:01.Sebastian Rodger progressing all of the time. 50.50 last year, and this

:50:01. > :50:07.year Harry has combined to 49.19. Want to start running under 49

:50:07. > :50:17.seconds, things become a bit easier. He will want to make sure that he

:50:17. > :50:17.

:50:27. > :50:52.

:50:52. > :50:58.had in the under 23 group and move it up to the senior competitions? It

:50:58. > :51:03.is the American leading at the moment. He is already up to Cornel

:51:03. > :51:13.Fredericks. Sebastian Rodger will have to have a good home stretch

:51:13. > :51:15.

:51:15. > :51:22.here. Sebastian Rodger has a fight on to get into the top four. Look at

:51:22. > :51:29.the young Russian, Timofey Chalyy! Sebastian Rodger might have just got

:51:29. > :51:35.it. Sebastian Rodger holds his head as if to say, I am not sure what is

:51:35. > :51:40.going on. He seemed to start OK, but lost his way in the middle of the

:51:40. > :51:46.race. He finished strongly enough. He was perhaps quite fortunate that

:51:46. > :51:56.the others faded around Tim. Did he get it, he might have done? He might

:51:56. > :52:06.

:52:06. > :52:15.Sebastian Rodger. We knew that Cornel Fredericks was going to be

:52:15. > :52:21.really strong. This is when he realises what he has to do. He

:52:21. > :52:30.starts to do it. Cornel Fredericks would've been the man in his sights.

:52:30. > :52:34.The first four to go through. Have a look at this on the line. On our

:52:34. > :52:44.side you would think he got up, but the computer says otherwise. They

:52:44. > :52:47.

:52:47. > :52:57.have given the verdict to Cornel Fredericks. It looks as though he

:52:57. > :52:58.

:52:58. > :53:02.had made it. Cornel Fredericks did not get as well as he did. 49.66. He

:53:02. > :53:12.is going to have a very anxious wait now. It'll be interesting to hear

:53:12. > :53:20.

:53:20. > :53:26.qualification. I know. I felt good. I'm feeling good today. I let people

:53:26. > :53:34.get away from your the top bend, which is frustrating. When we talked

:53:34. > :53:42.in Barcelona in the holding, you hope that she could progress.

:53:42. > :53:48.can, it will be a dream. If I get to the semifinals, as he would I can

:53:48. > :53:55.do. I knew I would need a personal best to do its. How big a step up is

:53:55. > :53:59.this from the under 23 competition? Huge. This is the world

:53:59. > :54:03.Championships. If I spoke to people at the start of the year and said I

:54:03. > :54:08.would be here, they wouldn't have believed that. It is great to be

:54:09. > :54:13.better -- it is great to be part of the team. I just wanted to do better

:54:13. > :54:18.than that, really. If I was the British team, I would ask to have a

:54:18. > :54:24.look that bad. It is obviously very close. It is the chest who decides

:54:24. > :54:30.that. On first look, you would think he got bad. They have given the

:54:30. > :54:37.verdict Cornel Fredericks. He will have to wait and see. It will be

:54:37. > :54:41.anxious. Good call from Steve Cram there. I

:54:41. > :54:46.think the British team should have a closer look at that is, that, but

:54:46. > :54:52.dinner protest. They will have to blow up the photofinishing really

:54:52. > :54:57.study it. Yesterday in the men's hundred metres, the Frenchman got

:54:57. > :55:01.through by 1000th of a second of the Chinese athlete. They have an

:55:01. > :55:08.opportunity to blow it up and really dissect it. Whether he goes through

:55:08. > :55:14.or not, think you did well. I do. It is not easy making the transition.

:55:14. > :55:19.He ran well and I thought it was a solid performance. It would be a

:55:19. > :55:24.shame for him not to make it through. He talked about losing them

:55:24. > :55:34.on the top end. It looked as if he made a bit of a mistake coming of

:55:34. > :55:42.

:55:43. > :55:51.barrier it goes through you. You go from 14 strides to 15 strides on the

:55:51. > :55:58.band. You need to make a decision, should ICF I can extend your stride

:55:58. > :56:04.to keep the speed going. If you're not that experience, you might make

:56:04. > :56:10.a bit of a mistake, , proper. seems to go around the barrier with

:56:10. > :56:15.his lead leg, a bit. You want back quick snap dying, but he goes down.

:56:16. > :56:25.You tend to go around the barrier when the hurdle is very close to

:56:26. > :56:50.

:56:50. > :56:58.you. It is quite a lazy way of doing Takayuki Kishimoto is the Japanese

:56:58. > :57:04.champion. Has not done well at the big events, but it is a very, very

:57:04. > :57:14.open event. For ever in a headband, Javier Culson. He got the bronze at

:57:14. > :57:48.

:57:48. > :57:52.up again. One of the starters is coming to have a little words. I'm

:57:52. > :58:01.not sure who with. Maybe one of the other officials. It is quite busy

:58:01. > :58:09.down there, with the heptathlete women. During the steeplechase, I

:58:09. > :58:14.don't know if you saw but one of the high jump competitors had her

:58:14. > :58:24.tailpipes measuring her run-up and almost got hit by the men running

:58:24. > :58:29.

:58:29. > :58:37.notification to the field. Javier Culson has plenty of major

:58:37. > :58:42.championship experience is not fazed by any of this. Takayuki Kishimoto

:58:42. > :58:47.has false started before at a major championship. That is quite a feat

:58:47. > :58:54.in the 400 hurdles. Javier Culson is certainly one to watch and should be

:58:54. > :59:04.fairly comfortably through. We need to watch the time for the fastest

:59:04. > :59:04.

:59:04. > :59:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:59:58. > :00:08.will try to be steady, nothing there for the fourth automatic

:00:08. > :00:11.

:00:11. > :00:15.place. The time is good news for Sebastian Rodger. There was a bad

:00:15. > :00:25.fall on the top bands, and the medical staff have been really slow

:00:25. > :00:33.

:00:33. > :00:37.to get out. Jacques Frisch took a terrible tumble. It was interesting

:00:37. > :00:47.to see L.J. Van Zyl out there, but of -- but he hasn't really been

:00:47. > :01:07.

:01:07. > :01:13.running that well. Javier Culson is five there in contention, but Javier

:01:13. > :01:21.Culson just slowing down. This is good news for Sebastian Rodger, he

:01:21. > :01:26.will be one of the fastest losers out of these first two heats.

:01:26. > :01:31.really stands out in these hurdles. I think Michael Kinsley looks

:01:31. > :01:35.strong. I think that is what is the straight into Dai Greene, if he

:01:35. > :01:41.didn't have as injuries he could have a really good shot at defending

:01:41. > :01:51.his medal. I think Javier Culson will have a really good chance for a

:01:51. > :01:57.

:01:58. > :02:03.medal. Twice all the medallist at League in New York and it is always

:02:03. > :02:08.held around Puerto Rico day. I could not believe the amount of support,

:02:08. > :02:18.he is phenomenal. It would be great if he could come and win the gold

:02:18. > :02:27.

:02:27. > :02:37.medal. Safely three. -- safely The second event in the heptathlon

:02:37. > :03:07.

:03:07. > :03:13.is well underway now. Temporarily the best high jumper. A gentle entry

:03:13. > :03:17.into this heptathlon high jump competition. Katarina Johnson

:03:17. > :03:27.Thompson is also one of the best high jumpers. It should be good

:03:27. > :03:37.

:03:37. > :03:44.is the silver medallist from 2010. He finished fifth last year in

:03:44. > :03:51.London which was a big surprise to everybody. He spins that two

:03:51. > :03:59.kilograms disc, way beyond the 65 metre mark. His coach must be

:03:59. > :04:04.pleased with that. First attempt. He qualifies easily. Activity hotel and

:04:04. > :04:09.he can relax. He is in the final tomorrow and he faces Robert

:04:10. > :04:13.Harting, of course, the defending champion. They are archrivals. It

:04:13. > :04:23.should be a good dustup between the two and one or two other throwers as

:04:23. > :04:28.

:04:28. > :04:38.well. Just two automatic qualifiers from the previous group. He joins

:04:38. > :04:46.

:04:46. > :04:50.them, he is in the final. Martin Wierig now. Ashton Eaton is a

:04:50. > :05:00.spectator here today. He is watching his wife in the win in's epitaph

:05:00. > :05:22.

:05:22. > :05:29.lawn. And swelling the crowds in the thought he would have liked to be in

:05:29. > :05:33.that heat. And even with Kerron Clement and Sanchez who are in

:05:33. > :05:36.consistent performers, Sanchez in particular in his last race look

:05:36. > :05:46.really out of sorts. Given the way the young Russian ran in the first

:05:46. > :05:51.

:05:51. > :05:54.heat, he is 21-year-old, could be danger. One of the emotionally

:05:54. > :06:02.charged moments of the Olympic Games in London last year when Felix

:06:02. > :06:09.Sanchez came through to win that gold medal. Eight years after doing

:06:09. > :06:13.it in 2004 in Athens. It was an incredible race. Rhys Williams,

:06:13. > :06:23.after disappointments last year, has really got himself together. He is

:06:23. > :06:23.

:06:23. > :06:27.having a great season so far. He will have to be really on good form.

:06:27. > :06:37.He has been consistent this year. He will attack it from laying three. He

:06:37. > :06:47.has got Kerron Clement, effectively third fastest man here. Tinsley tops

:06:47. > :06:59.

:06:59. > :07:05.the world rankings. What about of Jamaica. A good start. Felix

:07:05. > :07:09.Sanchez has started very quickly down the back straight. Sanchez

:07:09. > :07:19.setting the pace here but Williams is moving nicely through the first

:07:19. > :07:28.

:07:28. > :07:35.place at the moment but inside him is Kerron Clement of the USA. There

:07:36. > :07:40.are chances for everybody. Williams in a qualifying place. Sanchez wins

:07:40. > :07:49.it. Then Kerron Clement, then Annsert Whyte and Rhys Williams

:07:49. > :07:59.holding off the Russian. For Rhys Williams, that was job done. He had

:07:59. > :07:59.

:07:59. > :08:02.to come in the top four. There are questions over Sanchez' fitness.

:08:03. > :08:10.Rhys Williams did well. He was always going to come under pressure

:08:10. > :08:14.from Clement inside him but he held it together. I left out Felix

:08:14. > :08:17.Sanchez as one of the contenders because he started the season late.

:08:17. > :08:27.He is slowly getting better. Rhys Williams has finally got over all

:08:27. > :08:28.

:08:28. > :08:32.his injuries. He has been improving his personal best. Felix Sanchez, we

:08:32. > :08:37.thought the Olympic gold-medal might be his last flicker of a great flame

:08:37. > :08:47.but he is suddenly looking like a great contender for the title here

:08:47. > :08:50.

:08:50. > :08:57.as well. His form has been gradually building. The good news is for Rhys

:08:57. > :09:00.Williams that he has one of those automatic qualifying places. I know

:09:00. > :09:07.Colin is watching this. What did you make of Rhys? Did that looked like

:09:07. > :09:12.hard work? It's always going to be hard work at this time of the

:09:12. > :09:18.morning unless you are a sub 48.5 man. Williams will have to push

:09:18. > :09:21.himself continuously to get up there and be within striking distance of

:09:21. > :09:27.the top guys. He is one of these runners who can really maximise when

:09:27. > :09:33.people make mistakes. He is a consistent runner. He gets into his

:09:33. > :09:37.rhythm quickly. If he is there or thereabouts you can literally

:09:37. > :09:42.guarantee he will haul himself into a qualifying position and he has

:09:42. > :09:52.managed to do that this morning. For me, it is a job well done. It is all

:09:52. > :10:01.

:10:01. > :10:07.Looking at it on the replay, it did not look great. How did you feel on

:10:07. > :10:11.the start line? I felt fine on the start line. Not particularly pleased

:10:11. > :10:15.with that but I will have to do well tomorrow night when it really

:10:15. > :10:19.matters. You said it was an ideal preparation and then you came to the

:10:19. > :10:26.championships and had a race like that, what do you do now when you go

:10:26. > :10:36.away? I try not to dwell on it. The main thing is I am three. Let's see

:10:36. > :10:40.

:10:40. > :10:50.tomorrow. We will see you there. news for Seb Rodger who is the

:10:50. > :11:05.

:11:05. > :11:15.World Athletics Championships. This -- this event was won by one of the

:11:15. > :11:23.

:11:23. > :11:31.get from the crowd. Moses rises. Lee is going strongly. Phillips has gone

:11:31. > :11:38.well. And Moses is flowing beautifully. He is bringing blasts

:11:38. > :11:48.from the crowd. Here's 34-macro yards up. He has overtaken Damien

:11:48. > :11:53.

:11:53. > :12:03.leave. It is a one-man race already. Moses is flying. Andrei Phillips has

:12:03. > :12:04.

:12:04. > :12:14.been overtaken. The West German has come back. He ran half the race with

:12:14. > :12:23.

:12:23. > :12:33.Sheer class. Amazing. That was 47.48 in Lane two with his shoelace and

:12:33. > :12:34.

:12:34. > :12:40.done. What I was looking at was the sleekness of his hurdling technique.

:12:40. > :12:45.He broke that 10th barrier as if it was the third barrier. Faultless

:12:45. > :12:50.hurdling and running supreme. class. The next team has an American

:12:50. > :13:00.in it as well. Bershawn Jackson was world champion in 2005. I am not

:13:00. > :13:21.

:13:21. > :13:24.thought for poor Roald Harald moment, no outstanding athlete in

:13:24. > :13:29.the 400 hurdles survey chance for someone like Bershawn Jackson who

:13:29. > :13:39.missed out in qualifying for the London Olympics. Here is Leford

:13:39. > :13:59.

:13:59. > :14:09.Green. He was a finalist last year first round of the men's 400m

:14:09. > :14:31.

:14:31. > :14:37.Bershawn Jackson, but he does tend to finish strongly. He is not a big

:14:37. > :14:47.man but he has tremendous stamina. The tall figure in the green from

:14:47. > :14:52.

:14:52. > :14:56.Senegal taking them out. Bershawn Jackson will bide his time.

:14:56. > :15:00.Sebastian Rodger is looking good to go through as one of the fastest

:15:00. > :15:04.losers. Mamadou Kasse Hanne will come through to take it with Leford

:15:04. > :15:14.Green, Bershawn Jackson and coming down the inside, Jeffrey Gibson of

:15:14. > :15:36.

:15:36. > :15:42.Sebastian Rodger. Bershawn Jackson almost strolling through. Because of

:15:43. > :15:46.the way he races, it sometimes looks as if he is taking it easy, but the

:15:46. > :15:56.dissolved about stride Padron's. He doesn't really changes race plan.

:15:56. > :16:01.

:16:01. > :16:05.Mamadou Kasse Hanne has done well on the circuit this year. Yasuhiro

:16:05. > :16:12.Fueki really put paid to his chances by clattering into one of the

:16:12. > :16:22.hurdles. Bershawn Jackson table just the easy cross the line. Good news

:16:22. > :16:26.

:16:26. > :16:36.for Sebastian Rodger, still in a fastest loser spot. I don't think we

:16:36. > :16:38.

:16:38. > :16:48.have seen anybody impress incredibly. Let's just hope that Dai

:16:48. > :16:54.

:16:54. > :17:04.Greene can negotiate his way to a lot slower than Sebastian

:17:04. > :17:24.

:17:24. > :17:34.can see Brianne Theisen Eaton on the high jump now. Brianne Theisen Eaton

:17:34. > :17:39.

:17:39. > :17:44.safely over. That is the commentators kiss of death for

:17:44. > :17:52.Katarina Johnson-Thompson, this is normally is something she could do

:17:52. > :17:55.in her sleep. She is much better than that. A tentative start at the

:17:55. > :18:05.high jump for Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who is in seventh

:18:05. > :18:05.

:18:05. > :18:10.place after the hurdles. Ashton eaten, that the and champion and

:18:10. > :18:18.world record holder, too. The greatest all-round athlete in the

:18:18. > :18:28.world. And his wife do the same as he did a couple of days ago?

:18:28. > :18:40.

:18:41. > :18:45.for Dai Greene. What will be his approach? I think he will be

:18:45. > :18:49.watching Jehue Gordon really closely. That was a surprise

:18:49. > :18:59.victory, but I think Dai Greene will be looking at him, wondering what he

:18:59. > :19:01.

:19:01. > :19:11.needs to do. Sebastian Rodger, we have just heard, will make it

:19:11. > :19:13.

:19:13. > :19:17.through to the semifinals. I think you will be a very happy young man!

:19:17. > :19:23.He needs the patterns up on the back. He worked really hard. He

:19:23. > :19:30.needs to go back, get some rest, and evaluate what he needs to do for the

:19:30. > :19:40.following race. As for Dai Greene, if you come here as defending world

:19:40. > :19:45.champion, the attention is focused on you. No defending champion wants

:19:45. > :19:50.to have to go through the process that Dai Greene has had to go

:19:50. > :19:56.through. You want to be at the top of your game, defend your title

:19:56. > :20:03.strongly. But he is a battler, he knows he is here to do a job. People

:20:03. > :20:13.do it to the best of his physical ability. Whatever he Dawes, this'll

:20:13. > :20:24.

:20:24. > :20:34.wouldn't be here. He has to just deal with the cards he has got. He

:20:34. > :20:34.

:20:34. > :20:44.just has to be competitive. We knew Difficult time for the defending

:20:44. > :20:48.

:20:48. > :20:55.champion. He will be wondering what he can produce here. The last 34

:20:55. > :21:05.weeks has been very difficult for him. He has Takatoshi Abe inside

:21:05. > :21:06.

:21:06. > :21:11.him. Sebastian Rodger will definitely go through because there

:21:11. > :21:15.are only seven athletes in this race. Even if three of them were

:21:15. > :21:23.quick enough, he still leads the fastest leaders -- fastest losers,

:21:23. > :21:29.so he will definitely go through. Dai Greene has to be able to get

:21:29. > :21:34.round safely. This is a rhythm event. He hasn't been able to get

:21:34. > :21:40.into the rhythm because he has not been hurdling. What a big win it was

:21:40. > :21:50.for Jehue Gordon in Monaco! He is rediscovering the kind of form that

:21:50. > :21:50.

:21:50. > :21:56.saw him as a precaution talent at 17. He had 48 seconds flat in

:21:56. > :22:06.Monaco! That is him second on the world list this year behind Michael

:22:06. > :22:36.

:22:36. > :22:44.Kinsley of the USA, he was in the stay with Jehue Gordon. He looks

:22:44. > :22:51.fairly relaxed, is hurtling well. It is the second part of the race were

:22:51. > :22:57.a lack of preparation may come to tell. Isa Phillips is trying to get

:22:57. > :23:07.back into the race after hitting a hurdle. Dai Greene is going well so

:23:07. > :23:08.

:23:08. > :23:18.far. He is acquitting himself well. He is starting to look tired. Can he

:23:18. > :23:19.

:23:19. > :23:23.get there? Dai Greene is death! Quick enough, I think. It looked

:23:23. > :23:28.like the world champion, but the lack of fitness, the lack of

:23:28. > :23:33.preparation, when you get into the last two or three flights, that is

:23:33. > :23:38.when you feel it. When you really want to be able to dig into the

:23:38. > :23:41.well, but there is nothing there. I think he will go through as a

:23:41. > :23:51.fastest loser, I have a fingers crossed. Ultimately, no hiding

:23:51. > :23:52.

:23:52. > :24:01.place. It is from this point on that the lack of preparation starts to

:24:01. > :24:06.tell. Not able to do the training. You can see him gritting his teeth.

:24:06. > :24:11.From this point here, with his usual that this, he would be able to kick

:24:11. > :24:20.on, perhaps even the ease dying. Jehue Gordon is looking very good,

:24:21. > :24:26.as is Isa Phillips. We expecting just about to go through. I can

:24:26. > :24:32.confirm he will go through. Colin Jackson, probably what we expected?

:24:32. > :24:42.It is exactly what we expected it to be. He will always be fluent, but

:24:45. > :24:51.when you haven't got the work in your legs it will be very difficult.

:24:51. > :25:01.This event is known as the man killer, so if you're not 100% it is

:25:01. > :25:03.

:25:03. > :25:07.really hard. He will work hard of every barrier. At this stage he can

:25:07. > :25:10.start to feel the pressure. He knows people are closing down on him and

:25:10. > :25:19.he will people are closing down on him at the pressure. He knows people

:25:19. > :25:24.are closing down on him and he will has to work so hard. That may be

:25:24. > :25:34.enough to see him through. Dai Greene is defending world champion,

:25:34. > :25:40.

:25:40. > :25:44.but that -- but that was tough even The bad news is you did not have the

:25:44. > :25:48.preparation you wanted coming back to the centre title. I haven't been

:25:48. > :25:54.able to train so much since the trials because of my calf problem. I

:25:54. > :25:59.think the sort -- I think I saw the end of that midweek last week. I

:25:59. > :26:09.haven't done much hurdling and it shouldn't today. I was ill at the

:26:09. > :26:10.

:26:10. > :26:15.weekends as well, so it didn't do what I would be able to produce. I

:26:16. > :26:22.spent all day in bed on Saturday. They had to do some sort of training

:26:22. > :26:26.on Sunday. It is not ideal preparation, by any stretch, but you

:26:27. > :26:34.got to do the best you can, really. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel more

:26:34. > :26:44.well it. -- I will feel more with it. This is the man killer, this

:26:44. > :26:44.

:26:44. > :26:49.event, you need to be so fit. the heats are difficult. I was

:26:49. > :26:56.shattered coming not the home straight. It is quite a wide open

:26:56. > :27:06.event, so I hope I can do better tomorrow. Have a good rest. All the

:27:06. > :27:09.

:27:09. > :27:16.very best. He is very tired. He explained not

:27:16. > :27:26.just the injury problems, but he was not well, either. He is through. I

:27:26. > :27:30.

:27:30. > :27:40.am assuming that is a disqualification. Eric Alejandro has

:27:40. > :27:57.

:27:57. > :28:02.been the -- has been disqualified, Johnson-Thompson. Safely on the

:28:02. > :28:07.board as far as points are concerned. Hopefully she will take a

:28:07. > :28:13.little bit of satisfaction from that, and confidence as well as the

:28:14. > :28:23.bar continues to progress upwards. Good response by Katarina

:28:24. > :28:25.

:28:25. > :28:30.Johnson-Thompson after her first would put something that build his

:28:30. > :28:40.confidence, we have the reverse, really. It is a difficult time. We

:28:40. > :28:42.

:28:42. > :28:46.want our athletes to be having lots of time in preparation. He has

:28:46. > :28:54.suffered this all season. He has had no continuity, either in this

:28:54. > :28:58.technical work, or he just doesn't have the energy because he is

:28:58. > :29:04.exhausted because he is picked double zero this. We are not making

:29:04. > :29:09.excuses, it is just fact. It is difficult battle against the best in

:29:09. > :29:14.the world when you're those circumstances. It is a two-year

:29:14. > :29:20.turnaround for him, two years of struggles. These are the decisions

:29:20. > :29:28.athletes have to face. Do you come here as defending world champion,

:29:28. > :29:32.knowing you have been injured for so long? How does he feel if he doesn't

:29:32. > :29:40.hit the heights that he would like to achieve? He will have a target,

:29:40. > :29:45.which is to make the final. How will he feel if you doesn't reach his

:29:45. > :29:55.targets? It is tough. We can take a quick look to confirm exactly who

:29:55. > :30:05.

:30:06. > :30:12.into who has run what. When we go to the next round, the semifinal stage,

:30:12. > :30:15.there will be mix and match. People will be all over the place. Once we

:30:15. > :30:20.can see the semifinalist come through we can really start to

:30:20. > :30:25.dissect it and say this is possibly what could happen for the final.

:30:25. > :30:30.mentioned getting in touch through Twitter. There are a few tweets

:30:30. > :30:39.coming through. I had delegated this to Mr Jackson. Have you got your bit

:30:40. > :30:49.of paper? Come on! The first one is to Denise Lewis. He says, who do you

:30:50. > :30:54.

:30:54. > :30:58.think would be the lead in the stage. High jump is one of the

:30:58. > :31:02.breakers for the heptathlon. We have the likes of Johnson-Thompson in

:31:02. > :31:06.there. But if you are feeling slightly off that can have a

:31:06. > :31:13.detrimental affect on your performance and your overall score.

:31:13. > :31:18.I am going to have to sit on the fence, I am afraid! Oh, Denise! We

:31:18. > :31:28.are not going to let you get away with that. No sitting on the fence,

:31:28. > :31:29.

:31:29. > :31:39.a name. OK, I am going to go for Rhiannon Theisen-Eaton from Canada.

:31:39. > :31:46.-- Brianne. This is to Jonathan Edwards. This is looking ahead to

:31:46. > :31:51.Friday's triple jump, what are your expectations. Obviously, I hope they

:31:51. > :31:57.don't job too far! That apart, Christian Taylor as defending world

:31:57. > :32:06.champion and Olympic champion is always a contender. Teddy Tango is

:32:06. > :32:13.the maverick in triple jump. Can I ask you about the young Cuban boy.

:32:13. > :32:18.He will not quite do it. One last tweet, Lorraine Campbell says all of

:32:18. > :32:28.you are looking like a union Jack when you are put together. Which

:32:28. > :32:29.

:32:29. > :32:35.country? Which country?That is orange! Don't adjust your television

:32:35. > :32:42.sets. Next on track is the women's 400m hurdles. Meghan Beesley is

:32:42. > :32:47.going in this one. The lesser-known of the athletes we have got. Even

:32:48. > :32:54.though Meghan has run reasonably well, again, it is about gaining

:32:54. > :32:59.experience. This is what we want for our young athletes. She is only 23

:33:00. > :33:04.and this is a big occasion for her. I am excited to see what kind of

:33:04. > :33:09.performance she can produce under the circumstances. It is great that

:33:10. > :33:14.we have a full showing in this event. Let's see how she goes.

:33:15. > :33:18.Here's another one is looking at the event round by round to see how she

:33:18. > :33:28.can go. It is hurdles all the way this morning. Steve, it is all

:33:28. > :33:30.

:33:30. > :33:36.shoulder and you cannot blame her. There are some good athletes in this

:33:36. > :33:46.heat. Georganne Moline of the USA and Kaliese Spencer, on form they

:33:46. > :33:48.

:33:48. > :33:53.might be the ones you would look to. Only three will go through. There

:33:53. > :33:58.are only two semifinals. The men have three semifinals. There is

:33:58. > :34:08.Georganne Moline. Second in the American Championships and very

:34:08. > :34:13.consistent this year. Kaliese Spencer of Jamaica, for that the

:34:13. > :34:17.Olympic Games and at the last two World Championships as well. Will

:34:17. > :34:27.this be a change for her? Meghan Beesley then with a really tough

:34:27. > :35:05.

:35:05. > :35:15.it and treat it like a final. And not to worry about the other

:35:15. > :35:27.

:35:27. > :35:32.athletes who have a bigger did explode out of the blocks. She

:35:32. > :35:42.has got a good start. Lee Spencer and Georganne Moline also started

:35:42. > :35:46.

:35:46. > :35:51.well. -- Kaliese Spencer. She stumbles. She has got to concentrate

:35:51. > :35:57.now. Spencer in the lead from Georganne Moline. Meghan Beesley is

:35:57. > :36:05.still involved in this. Denise Ross of Arla is starting to come to it.

:36:05. > :36:11.And there is Georganne Moline gone. Drama in this first round. Meghan

:36:12. > :36:19.Beesley has a real chance here. Got to be strong in the home straight.

:36:19. > :36:29.Spencer is jogging here. The top three to go through. Spencer takes

:36:29. > :36:31.

:36:31. > :36:41.first, Denise Ross of Arla -- Denisa Rosolova is second and Meghan

:36:41. > :36:53.

:36:53. > :37:03.Beesley. Yes, a great run. It might seem like a thin but it throws your

:37:03. > :37:04.

:37:04. > :37:10.stride pattern when you stumble. She does not panic. The race was always

:37:10. > :37:16.likely to be won by Kaliese Spencer after what happened to Georganne

:37:16. > :37:24.Moline. She clipped it. A very strong run from Meghan Beesley. Some

:37:24. > :37:27.impressive after clipping that hurdle earlier. This is no mean

:37:27. > :37:34.achievement to go through. Another clip of the hurdle from Meghan

:37:34. > :37:38.Beesley but finishing strongly. was not far off her personal best

:37:38. > :37:46.and that has got to augur really well for Meghan Beesley. This is

:37:46. > :37:51.Georganne Moline, head Trail leg on the way down. She had been running

:37:51. > :37:57.very comfortably. She is in such good form. She is one of the more

:37:57. > :38:01.popular nice members of the American team. That is devastating for her.

:38:01. > :38:06.The Americans would have been hoping for a good performance from her in

:38:06. > :38:16.the final but she will not be in the final now, obviously. For Kaliese

:38:16. > :38:19.

:38:19. > :38:25.Spencer, really brave performance. thought her chances were gone but as

:38:25. > :38:30.Andrew said, she did not panic. When she looks back at this and things, I

:38:30. > :38:35.had just run 55.45 after hitting the third hurdle down the back straight,

:38:35. > :38:40.who knows what she might have done out of lame eight? She did

:38:40. > :38:48.brilliantly well. She clipped that one as well. She is obviously tired

:38:48. > :38:58.at this point. Having to dig really deep here. She goes through to the

:38:58. > :39:01.

:39:01. > :39:09.more than one hurdle but the key was staying on your feet and staying in

:39:09. > :39:15.contention. Yes, so happy to get an automatic qualifier. I was a bit

:39:15. > :39:18.scared of the back straight, hurdle three, I thought I was going down.

:39:18. > :39:25.Did it benefit you in some ways being in lane eight, you could focus

:39:25. > :39:28.on what you had to do? I think so. In my first world juniors I was in

:39:28. > :39:34.the outside lane and I fell over then as well so I feel like it is

:39:34. > :39:38.the same. What about the overall preparations, coming out early and

:39:38. > :39:41.being on this World Championships stage? I tried not to think about it

:39:42. > :39:46.too much. There are quite a few Brits along so you can hear them

:39:46. > :39:51.cheering your name which is quite cool. You hit for hurdles and posted

:39:51. > :39:57.that time, what you think you can do in the next round? I just want to

:39:57. > :40:07.hit a clean race and get a PB. luck with it. Thank you for talking

:40:07. > :40:16.

:40:16. > :40:26.disqualification for Kaliese Spencer on my computer. We will get that

:40:26. > :40:35.

:40:35. > :40:41.Drayton. If that qualification is correct, with Georganne Moline out

:40:41. > :40:46.and Kaliese Spencer out, it all goes well for Perri Shakes-Drayton.

:40:46. > :40:56.Kaliese Spencer who won that and was perhaps one of the medal contenders

:40:56. > :41:05.

:41:05. > :41:15.first round heat that you can expect. Perri Shakes-Drayton goes in

:41:15. > :41:16.

:41:16. > :41:24.the third heat. She waits. We have talked about the open nature of the

:41:25. > :41:32.men's hurdles, but in the women's event the main contender is is a

:41:32. > :41:41.Hejnova who goes in lane eight. She was a bronze medallist in London and

:41:41. > :41:45.unbeaten this year. -- Zuzana Hejnova. She is head and shoulders

:41:45. > :41:49.above the rest. She should go through here comfortably and may

:41:49. > :41:59.well be the favourite for the gold medal. Nothing can be taken for

:41:59. > :42:05.

:42:05. > :42:15.from the crowd in lane three. There is Christine Spence, third in the US

:42:15. > :42:30.

:42:30. > :42:35.heat. There is Zuzana Hejnova. She has the season 's best and personal

:42:35. > :42:44.best just outside 53 seconds. She came third in the Diamond League

:42:44. > :42:49.meeting in Brussels last September. It is about doing it in the biggest

:42:49. > :42:59.Championships of them all. And avoiding the pitfalls that have

:42:59. > :42:59.

:42:59. > :43:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:43:46. > :43:51.happened so far for some big hand up and was not happy. I do not

:43:51. > :43:56.know if there was some noise down there but she put her hand up. You

:43:56. > :44:00.can do that if there is a legitimate reason for it. The starters marksman

:44:00. > :44:10.is jogging across now to find out what the reason was. Explain

:44:10. > :44:39.

:44:39. > :44:45.chatting to Nickiesha Wilson as with the defending champion,

:44:45. > :44:55.Lashinda Demus, in the next heat. There is Zuzana Hejnova, the

:44:55. > :45:20.

:45:20. > :45:27.outstanding athlete in this event Odumosu has a very good excuse, she

:45:27. > :45:36.could well be out here. She is a very experienced athletes, our

:45:36. > :45:44.Commonwealth champion. In lane one. It is a warning. That is a false

:45:44. > :45:52.start. Avoid eye contact! You think she has got away with that. She

:45:52. > :45:57.really has got away with that. Let's have a closer look. They have been

:45:57. > :46:07.called into the set position, then she moves out. That is very

:46:07. > :46:11.

:46:11. > :46:21.generous. Usual extra life wisely, Muizat Ajoke Odumosu! Messy old

:46:21. > :46:52.

:46:52. > :46:59.first-round heat, the first three go cannot survive again. Muizat Ajoke

:46:59. > :47:09.Odumosu. She will have to wait for the official dismissal. That is just

:47:09. > :47:10.

:47:10. > :47:17.ridiculous, isn't it? She has got away with it once. You feel for her,

:47:17. > :47:20.but it is the 400 hurdles, there is no need for that. She is an

:47:20. > :47:25.experienced athlete, I am not sure what has happened to her this

:47:25. > :47:32.morning. We have all these antics with the green card, the yellow

:47:32. > :47:40.card, the red and black card. She obviously false started. She did get

:47:40. > :47:46.away with that first time. I'm not sure she looked too keen to race

:47:46. > :47:56.there. Twice the African champion, Nigerian record-holder, Muizat Ajoke

:47:56. > :48:07.

:48:07. > :48:17.Odumosu, she goes. Back to the with all this silliness. Three to go

:48:17. > :48:35.

:48:35. > :48:45.this, but Christine Spence is trying to make her impression. Very strong

:48:45. > :48:49.

:48:49. > :48:59.start by Christine Spence. The crowd is trying to carry along Anastasia

:48:59. > :49:03.

:49:04. > :49:12.Ott. Nickiesha Wilson T is starting to struggle. Christine Spence is

:49:12. > :49:16.starting to fade just a little bit. Christine Spence has to be careful.

:49:17. > :49:23.Christine Spence is going to be run out of this! That did not go

:49:23. > :49:32.according to plan! It is not going according to plan for the

:49:32. > :49:38.Americans. She is the favourite to win the gold medal in this event,

:49:38. > :49:43.and she has just joined wide, Zuzana Hejnova. She changed her coach and

:49:43. > :49:49.says a lot of improvement is down to that. She has always been a good

:49:49. > :49:59.hurdler, but she has this event really sorted now. It is very hard

:49:59. > :50:05.to run easy in the 400m. With a stripe patterns, you have got to

:50:05. > :50:11.make sure you don't get it wrong. Look how relaxed Zuzana Hejnova is.

:50:11. > :50:15.Compare her to Christine Spence. She is under pressure and the American

:50:15. > :50:25.starts to go backwards. She doesn't come off that last hurdle with any

:50:25. > :50:26.

:50:26. > :50:33.momentum. Nickiesha Wilson catches up at her. When you lose momentum,

:50:33. > :50:43.you will get it back. Zuzana Hejnova is just completely relaxed. Perri

:50:43. > :50:43.

:50:43. > :50:53.Shakes-Drayton to come. Perri Shakes-Drayton will be looking to

:50:53. > :50:54.

:50:54. > :51:04.qualify as easily as Zuzana Hejnova did. Christine Spence may still be

:51:04. > :51:26.

:51:26. > :51:36.States. She is safely over. Sharon Day is lying in eighth place, she is

:51:36. > :51:40.

:51:40. > :51:47.behind Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Brianne Theisen Eaton clears it

:51:47. > :51:57.again. She will figure highly in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next

:51:57. > :52:06.year. How much did that first failure at 1.74 and settle Katarina

:52:06. > :52:13.Johnson-Thompson? She is over! That looks much better from her. 1.77

:52:13. > :52:23.metres. As the knees Lewis was saying, this is where big points can

:52:23. > :53:02.

:53:02. > :53:12.through. He has gone. I wonder that is the end of an era? So, here are

:53:12. > :53:32.

:53:32. > :53:42.Victor Hogan. Brett Morse from the UK does not go through.

:53:42. > :53:44.

:53:44. > :53:51.Perri Shakes-Drayton in the next heat of the women's 400m hurdles.

:53:51. > :54:01.Inside her she has the Olympic champion from Russia, outside her

:54:01. > :54:15.

:54:15. > :54:22.she had the defending world is Natalya Antyukh in? I saw her in

:54:22. > :54:27.the first race of the season, she finished dead last. She has only one

:54:27. > :54:37.-- she has only run one race since then. Perri Shakes-Drayton has been

:54:37. > :54:45.

:54:45. > :54:51.in fantastic form with a recent personal best. Neither Georganne

:54:51. > :54:56.Moline has gone right, she is looking to Lashinda Demus. Lashinda

:54:56. > :54:58.Demus is not the apogee was two years ago. Every opportunity for

:54:58. > :55:08.Perri Shakes-Drayton as the qualification for this event

:55:08. > :55:12.

:55:12. > :55:22.continues. Don't forget, Kaliese Spencer is also white. What will we

:55:22. > :55:47.

:55:47. > :55:50.get from Lashinda Demus? The Olympic quickly. Just rising first. Natalya

:55:50. > :55:56.Antyukh has started as quickly as Perri Shakes-Drayton. Lashinda Demus

:55:56. > :56:02.leads at the moment. Perri Shakes-Drayton started out nice and

:56:02. > :56:07.calmly, just concentrating on the top three. Natalya Antyukh has gone

:56:07. > :56:11.the first -- gone through the first section pretty quickly. Perri

:56:11. > :56:21.Shakes-Drayton has some work to do here. We know she will be good in

:56:21. > :56:27.

:56:27. > :56:32.the home straight. Natalya Antyukh is starting to fade. Perri

:56:32. > :56:37.Shakes-Drayton comes after last hurdle really well. Lashinda Demus

:56:37. > :56:42.takes second, Natalya Antyukh takes third. That is the quickest we have

:56:42. > :56:47.seen so far. Perri Shakes-Drayton, and sure there will be a sigh of

:56:47. > :56:51.relief that that went well. She really didn't know what Lashinda

:56:51. > :56:55.Demus Natalya Antyukh were going to do. She sought Tracy hitting a

:56:55. > :57:03.hurdle coming into the home straight. She executed her race

:57:03. > :57:06.really well. We didn't know what to expect from Lashinda Demus there. It

:57:06. > :57:13.was a good run from Perri Shakes-Drayton. This was a really

:57:13. > :57:16.high quality first round. Tracy was going well until she clipped the

:57:16. > :57:26.hurdle coming into the home straight. Perri Shakes-Drayton

:57:26. > :57:37.

:57:37. > :57:40.remained focused and a very strong Shakes-Drayton. Lashinda Demus is

:57:40. > :57:50.not the force she was, by the force she was, but a definite confidence

:57:50. > :57:52.

:57:52. > :58:01.booster to get past her. Colin Jackson, what about Natalya

:58:01. > :58:06.Antyukh? Just her third race of the year. Will she be a threat? I don't

:58:06. > :58:14.think so. She looked very strong done the back straight. Coming into

:58:14. > :58:22.the home straight, it looks like she is lacking form. She is ring rusty.

:58:22. > :58:26.I don't think she is in great physical shape. 400m hurdles is an

:58:26. > :58:31.offence that you have to really ease yourself into, learn how to master

:58:31. > :58:37.your event. I think Perri Shakes-Drayton is learning how to

:58:37. > :58:43.handle these rounds. That is the confidence that comes from taking on

:58:43. > :58:49.the best in the world on a regular basis. She has one big victories,

:58:49. > :58:55.said some personal bests. The majority of the runners will be

:58:55. > :59:05.watching her. Come the final, it will be a good one for her. She is

:59:05. > :59:11.

:59:11. > :59:21.champion on the other, didn't faze you at all! When I go into a race I

:59:21. > :59:22.

:59:22. > :59:29.ignore what the other girls are doing. I have no control over that.

:59:29. > :59:35.I'm taking every race as it comes. I feel good. Is this the most

:59:35. > :59:41.confident you've ever brought into major championship? Not really. I am

:59:41. > :59:48.busy. Mentally stronger. I have learnt from my previous world

:59:48. > :59:53.Championships. I have a lot of experience. I am trying to use that

:59:53. > :59:59.to do what they have to do. What kind of thing is really cool between

:59:59. > :00:09.today and tomorrow? I will sleep, eat, and ice bath, take care of the

:00:09. > :00:27.

:00:27. > :00:35.was then that slow motion. She said she cannot take control of other

:00:35. > :00:39.people's races. You have to take control and look at your lane and

:00:39. > :00:45.say, I know these girls are good but what is key to my race to make sure

:00:45. > :00:49.I am the person who crosses the line first or qualifies easily. I think

:00:49. > :00:54.she is in that mindset now. She thought she would qualify for the

:00:54. > :01:00.finals but she did not do it last year. She knows it has to be round

:01:00. > :01:04.by round, run the way I know how to run. Her hurdling is looking better

:01:04. > :01:09.and she is mentally strong. She has had enough practice this season to

:01:09. > :01:16.know she is in the right frame of mind up and she is ready. She is in

:01:16. > :01:23.the right frame of mind. That is two British athletes through. Meghan

:01:23. > :01:30.Beesley went through earlier. Now we have Eilidh Child in lane one. This

:01:30. > :01:37.is not a great draw for her, is it? It is not a great draw but she is

:01:37. > :01:41.showing great form. She has had a great indoor season. She is from the

:01:41. > :01:47.same stable as Dai Greene but she has had a completely contrasting

:01:47. > :01:57.season. She will be lining up here, feeling very confident in her

:01:57. > :02:05.

:02:05. > :02:14.ability. Andrew is talking us make amends of some poor American

:02:14. > :02:21.performances so far. And Irina Davydova as well the Russian. There

:02:21. > :02:31.is Irina Davydova, the Russian champion this year and she takes the

:02:31. > :02:35.

:02:35. > :02:44.acclaim. European champion last year. It is a cramped lane for lane

:02:44. > :02:48.one. You see it all in front of you. No surprises. We have had two

:02:48. > :02:52.disqualifications for a lead leg infringements, for Kaliese Spencer

:02:52. > :03:00.and Christine Merrill. It usually happens in the first couple of

:03:00. > :03:10.barriers. It is something to watch out for. Those lane draws are

:03:10. > :03:45.

:03:45. > :03:51.important but the first couple of lane five sets out well. Anna

:03:51. > :04:01.Yaroshchuk and in Reno Deva Dover as well. Eilidh Child off to a steady

:04:01. > :04:03.

:04:03. > :04:09.start in lane one -- Irina Davydova. The Canadian clipping the barrier

:04:09. > :04:18.there as Child sneaks around inside. Dalilah Muhammad out in front, just

:04:18. > :04:28.about. Child will be in an increasingly good position. They

:04:28. > :04:28.

:04:28. > :04:35.come down the home straight. Three to go through automatically. The

:04:35. > :04:40.women to complete the trio will be in Reno gathered over. Victory goes

:04:40. > :04:47.to Dalilah Muhammad but child is safely through. -- Eilidh Child is

:04:47. > :04:57.safely through. Nothing she could do but run that hard. You cannot relax

:04:57. > :04:57.

:04:57. > :05:05.in lane one. I was watching the Russian. A really ragged race from

:05:05. > :05:11.her. Dalilah Muhammad would have been the target for Eilidh Child.

:05:11. > :05:15.She is a nice hurdler. On that inside lane knows that the stager is

:05:15. > :05:20.going to unwind and bring her into contention in the home straight.

:05:20. > :05:25.There are two women ahead of her. She knows she cannot relax in the

:05:25. > :05:34.home straight. At this point, she probably realises she is in for

:05:34. > :05:38.qualification. She is strong over the last hurdle. And then relaxes a

:05:38. > :05:44.little bit in the last 15 metres. Her eyes were very set on the finish

:05:44. > :05:47.line. No surprises there. We had a few in the first round of the

:05:47. > :05:53.women's 400m hurdles but the good news is all three British women have

:05:53. > :05:58.gone through. Yes, Meghan Beesley went through first of all, then

:05:58. > :06:05.Perri Shakes-Drayton and now Eilidh Child. There have been some

:06:05. > :06:08.ingesting moments and disqualifications and falls. All

:06:08. > :06:12.that avoided by Eilidh Child who looks composed and controlled all

:06:12. > :06:16.the way through that. She was running in lane one which is never

:06:16. > :06:25.the easiest thing. Through to the semifinals which will take place

:06:25. > :06:32.tomorrow. Christine Spence is through, the American. We know that

:06:32. > :06:42.Eilidh Child was through and she is talking to fill. -- she is with Phil

:06:42. > :06:46.

:06:46. > :06:50.run but it was hard from lane one. Everybody knows that it is the most

:06:50. > :06:57.nerve wracking when you want to put a solid run together. I am happy to

:06:57. > :07:01.have qualified. It is understandable the nerve wracking thing because

:07:01. > :07:09.Georganne Moline foul and Kaliese Spencer was disqualified. You cannot

:07:09. > :07:14.take anything for granted. -- Georganne Moline foul. Yes, you

:07:14. > :07:21.cannot take anything for granted. Tomorrow is a final, I have two run

:07:21. > :07:28.it like a final so I can get into the final. I have got to go for it.

:07:28. > :07:38.Leave it all on the track. All the best. Thank you, Cheers.Confirm the

:07:38. > :07:38.

:07:38. > :08:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:08:27. > :08:32.was tweeting about watching the athletics in her pyjamas. Thankfully

:08:32. > :08:38.she was wide awake today. Let's go back to when Meghan Beesley went

:08:39. > :08:43.through but the big talking point was Kaliese Spencer's

:08:43. > :08:53.disqualification. I think everybody is hugely surprised. I think it is

:08:53. > :09:01.

:09:01. > :09:06.for a league lead -- lead leg is in lane six. They say she went

:09:06. > :09:11.round the hurdle with her lead leg, she did not cross the barrier. There

:09:11. > :09:17.is the flag up there. I have no doubt that Jamaica will put in a

:09:17. > :09:21.protest to say, let's have a really good look at this. They can look at

:09:21. > :09:27.different camera angles. I am sure Kaliese Spencer herself was in the

:09:27. > :09:31.championships, she has arrived in good form, she literally looked

:09:31. > :09:37.effortless. You can imagine how disappointed she feels right now and

:09:37. > :09:39.I think that is why Jamaica may put in a protest. The other big drama in

:09:39. > :09:46.that race was Georganne Moline hitting one of the penultimate

:09:47. > :09:53.hurdles and going down. Yes, it was on the top bend. She hit it so badly

:09:53. > :09:56.she ended up on her knees. For an event which is wide open, yes,

:09:56. > :10:01.Hejnova is the favourite along with our own perish eight Drayton, but

:10:01. > :10:09.she clipped it without Trail Lake and it took her out of the race.

:10:09. > :10:15.Very unfortunate and very painful -- she clipped it with her Trail leg.

:10:15. > :10:20.I'm going to see this and it will sound awful but it was a lazy toe.

:10:20. > :10:25.In hurdles you are expected to keep your ankle up. She dropped her toe,

:10:25. > :10:29.her toe caught the barrier and she pitched forward. That is what can

:10:29. > :10:35.happen in qualification, you think you do not have two run fast and

:10:35. > :10:41.maybe you go to sleep. It can happen on a regular basis. Do you think

:10:41. > :10:45.that is what happened with Kaliese Spencer? Would you say it was

:10:45. > :10:48.technically cheating? She would definitely have a go to clear the

:10:48. > :10:55.barrier. I think sometimes you cannot be in that zone at the

:10:55. > :11:01.particular time. And a quick word on Meghan because she did not have a

:11:01. > :11:05.trouble-free race either. She looked very worried at the start. She goes

:11:05. > :11:10.into the race with no real expectations, she ran very well, she

:11:10. > :11:15.clipped the first hurdle which could have been nasty. Full credit to her,

:11:15. > :11:23.she kept her head, she kept running. A lot of people's brains would have

:11:23. > :11:26.been scrambled at this point. You can see Kaliese Spencer who is

:11:26. > :11:35.oblivious to her disqualification at this point. She made it through,

:11:35. > :11:40.luckily. For Meghan Beesley, like a Lee Child, it there is the final.

:11:40. > :11:44.She will have two race hard. What she wants to get out of the

:11:44. > :11:49.Championships is a personal best. It will set her up nicely for the

:11:49. > :11:52.coming years. Next year she has the Commonwealth games and the European

:11:52. > :11:58.Championships. That will be very big for someone like Megan because of

:11:58. > :12:03.the chance to get to a major final. Two nights ago it was no Farrow

:12:03. > :12:13.winning gold. Last night it was Tirunesh Dibaba. This her fifth

:12:13. > :12:13.

:12:13. > :13:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:13:03. > :13:09.Tirunesh Dibaba kicks again. A athlete. It was a joy to watch her

:13:09. > :13:19.last night. Before we talk about her, we will head down to the

:13:19. > :13:26.

:13:26. > :13:36.women's heptathlete. Katarina far. This is where it gets really

:13:36. > :13:46.serious. That is good! Excellent buy Katarina Johnson-Thompson. That is

:13:46. > :13:51.

:13:52. > :13:56.another 978 points for the British 11. -- British number one. This is

:13:56. > :14:04.where it starts getting interesting for heptathlete is. It is where the

:14:04. > :14:07.big points accumulate. It is a must nail event for her. I cut you off

:14:07. > :14:13.talking about Tirunesh Dibaba and what a wonderful athlete she is and

:14:13. > :14:17.a delight to watch last night. We were marvelling at the quality,

:14:17. > :14:22.the EU is at which she dominates her races, 10,000m, five, it does not

:14:22. > :14:26.matter what she does. She is a class in her own and it is wonderful to

:14:26. > :14:36.see athletes at the top of their game and she has been for a long

:14:36. > :14:41.

:14:41. > :14:44.time. Hard to see anyone beating Valerie Adams?

:14:44. > :14:50.She is so confident in what she does, I have been lucky enough to

:14:50. > :14:53.speak to her on various occasions, she is a fluent French speaker

:14:53. > :15:03.because that Michael and when she goes to Europe they love her because

:15:03. > :15:15.

:15:15. > :15:18.goes to Europe they love her because she is a true champion and she is

:15:18. > :15:21.very international. She has won every single championship that is

:15:21. > :15:23.out there. Look at this, it goes back to 2006, and that journey has

:15:23. > :15:26.just been success, success, success, success. A phenomenal athlete and

:15:26. > :15:28.record. Imagine what our superstar she would be if she was a track

:15:28. > :15:34.athlete, not in shot put. She has a big personality, her

:15:34. > :15:39.throwing speaks for itself. She -- she was elevated to that gold

:15:39. > :15:44.position after a drug suspension which she thoroughly deserved.

:15:44. > :15:47.Let's take a look at what is coming up this evening, it should be a

:15:47. > :15:54.fabulous afternoon session, an evening session for us, afternoon

:15:54. > :15:59.for you. Colin's old event, the men's 110m

:15:59. > :16:09.hurdles. The women's 100m semifinals, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

:16:09. > :16:12.

:16:12. > :16:16.there. English Gardner - I wonder how hyped up she will be. The men's

:16:16. > :16:23.400m semifinals, as you can see this is one not to miss, it will be a

:16:23. > :16:29.fabulous evening. The women's shot put final at 5:25pm, the heptathlon

:16:29. > :16:31.featuring Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the women's 400m final and finally

:16:31. > :16:39.the women's 400m final and finally the 110m hurdles final and women's

:16:39. > :16:47.100m. Let's talk about the 400m. Christine Ohuruogu won the women's

:16:47. > :16:53.title in 2007, is it time for it to come back again? I hope so.We all

:16:53. > :16:57.hope so I! Sometimes Christine does not get the

:16:57. > :17:01.respect she deserves, she is in the greatest shape she has ever been

:17:01. > :17:07.in. She looked great in qualification in the semifinal.

:17:07. > :17:17.is the fastest she has ever run outside of our final. Yes, it was a

:17:17. > :17:18.

:17:18. > :17:22.strong, strong qualification for her. I just think Monthso with other

:17:22. > :17:32.two -- a little too much for her. No doubt Christine will be clawing her

:17:32. > :17:41.

:17:41. > :17:44.way back, but she may not get there because...

:17:44. > :17:50.The qualification is interesting, David Oliver stood out?

:17:50. > :17:59.Yes, he is the one to watch. Once he gets into the rhythm, he has

:17:59. > :18:04.that 30.0 groove. And Will Sharman ran well in the Anniversary Games,

:18:04. > :18:09.not quite as slick in qualification. He has the toughest of the

:18:09. > :18:13.semifinals, it will be a tough call for him, unfortunately, but you

:18:13. > :18:17.never know. Let's have a look at never know. Let's have a look at

:18:17. > :18:22.when we are back on air this afternoon. 3:30pm on BBC One, and

:18:22. > :18:26.the time for those big finals is between 6pm and 7pm on BBC Two, I'm

:18:26. > :18:30.between 6pm and 7pm on BBC Two, I'm sorry. The 100m final, we have the

:18:30. > :18:36.semifinals then obviously the final, how is that going to go, Denise?

:18:36. > :18:40.That is going to be a cracker, it is all about Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
