Day 4, Part 1

:01:02. > :01:08.The story so far... Farrah is going to get there, this is world

:01:08. > :01:15.domination for Mo Farah. Usain Bolt is going to take the gold again.

:01:15. > :01:20.Unbeatable, unsurpassable. Christine Ohuruogu is the world

:01:20. > :01:26.champion again. Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce by an absolute mile. She is

:01:26. > :01:30.the best by a long way. They say that sport is the great

:01:30. > :01:35.metaphor for life. It embodies all the same values and teachers all

:01:35. > :01:41.the same lessons. It works the other way as well because they also

:01:41. > :01:50.say that life is about timing. Christine Ohuruogu has been our

:01:50. > :01:54.number one for a long time now. The Supreme, big-time competitor.

:01:54. > :02:03.Round the top bend, Christine Ohuruogu will have to try and stay

:02:03. > :02:10.in contact the. Christine Ohuruogu will start to run her down. She is

:02:10. > :02:16.coming fast and quick buck will it be quick enough? Kristin is coming.

:02:16. > :02:22.She might just make it. She might have just made it. Did she get it?

:02:22. > :02:27.We are waiting. She is looking, we are looking.

:02:27. > :02:35.She has got it! Another gold medal. Christine

:02:36. > :02:39.Ohuruogu is the world champion again.

:02:40. > :02:45.Of I do not feel as though I am here. It feels really surreal and

:02:45. > :02:49.really strange. I cannot believe that. I really kept trusting that I

:02:49. > :02:53.could do it. As team captain you have done the team and the nation

:02:53. > :03:03.proud. You will rush off again, on that. Congratulate shins, enjoyed

:03:03. > :03:04.

:03:04. > :03:08.the moment. Up -- congratulations. A stunning performance from

:03:08. > :03:13.Christine Ohuruogu. Two world titles now and an Olympic title and

:03:13. > :03:16.a new national record and surely a claim for her to be called the

:03:16. > :03:21.greatest British female athlete of all time, a point we will be

:03:21. > :03:25.debating in this morning's session alongside our live-action.

:03:25. > :03:29.It is day two of the women's heptathlon and go Katarina Johnson-

:03:29. > :03:32.Thompson is in 6th place overnight. First up this morning it is the

:03:32. > :03:38.long jump. It was Brom's for Robbie Grabarz in

:03:38. > :03:42.London last year and he begins his campaign for a global medal this

:03:42. > :03:48.morning. But from bouldering Co is the outstanding world No. 1.

:03:48. > :03:54.Mo Farah is back on track after his exploits and gold medal on Saturday.

:03:54. > :04:03.It is qualification for 5,000m. It we might not see a mobot after we

:04:03. > :04:10.presume he qualifies. This is the timetable for this

:04:10. > :04:13.morning's session. Katarina morning's session. Katarina

:04:13. > :04:17.Johnson-Thompson is very strong in the long jump. We have the women's

:04:17. > :04:23.20km race war. Do the first time that Elena Lashmanova will be

:04:23. > :04:30.featured on a BBC graphic. Bohdan Bodarenko has been in

:04:30. > :04:35.stunning form so far on the high jump so far this morning.

:04:35. > :04:39.The heptathlon javelin will be a little bit later on and the women's

:04:39. > :04:45.triple jump qualification. Katarina Johnson-Thompson will probably be

:04:45. > :04:46.in group A of that heptathlon... In fact I have been told she is in

:04:46. > :04:51.fact I have been told she is in group B despite being not the best

:04:51. > :04:57.javelin thrower. Of course yesterday morning she was

:04:57. > :05:02.in the heat three rather than heat for of the hurdles. Good morning to

:05:02. > :05:12.porn and to Denise. We have got a place to ourselves. Keep in touch -

:05:12. > :05:16.

:05:16. > :05:20.- Paul Weller. --Paula. First of all, last night and

:05:20. > :05:26.Christine's run. It was incredible. I don't know how she must be

:05:26. > :05:33.feeling today because last night she was totally mesmerised and

:05:33. > :05:37.completely thrilled with and the ambition of a finally getting

:05:37. > :05:41.that's run. It was scintillating and judged and timed to perfection,

:05:41. > :05:46.as we have come to expect from Kristin on the big occasion. She

:05:46. > :05:51.always seems to get it right at the championships. For Christine, she

:05:51. > :05:57.actually ran a very quick 200m. We always said that if she was in

:05:57. > :06:02.contention, with her strength in this closing stages, the title

:06:02. > :06:07.could be theirs. The mistake really came from mum showed. In the last

:06:07. > :06:13.50m she was just looking for Christine, a watching the big

:06:13. > :06:19.screen, where she? And waiting for her. And she did not know that

:06:19. > :06:22.Christine was right on her shoulder and waiting to pounce. They have

:06:22. > :06:26.the big screen as they are running down the home straight and it is

:06:26. > :06:31.very difficult to say what is in an athlete's mind when they are

:06:31. > :06:35.running flat out but you almost felt that she thought she had it

:06:35. > :06:39.won and she could not get the perspective of where Christine was

:06:39. > :06:45.from head on. Yes, in its first though she is

:06:45. > :06:48.further back than she is. In a distant race it can make them see

:06:48. > :06:51.closer but there it almost seemed as though shot further away and

:06:51. > :06:56.Christine and body that the races not won until you have crossed the

:06:56. > :07:03.line and you do not show any sign of weakness. If Christie never did

:07:03. > :07:10.look at that screen it was because she was coming to get her. --

:07:10. > :07:14.Christine. Christine has one of two world titles by a combined a margin

:07:14. > :07:20.of 44 one-hundredth of a second. She will wake up this morning with

:07:20. > :07:26.a big smile on her face but her competitor will think she was an

:07:26. > :07:29.idiot. The foolish. She was shocked. She exclaimed when she saw

:07:29. > :07:34.Christine's name come up in first position. She could not believe it.

:07:34. > :07:38.She should know that Christine would be right on her shoulder. It

:07:38. > :07:46.was bad judgment for someone so experienced and it shows you that

:07:46. > :07:49.even at this level you can make mistakes. Using normally a

:07:49. > :07:55.qualifying rounds and you say that people will learn their lesson but

:07:55. > :07:58.in a final? To do it in the final and to do it with Christine, it is

:07:58. > :08:02.no like it is some just unknown who came from somewhere and they

:08:02. > :08:06.suddenly learned she could finish a race. Everybody knows that

:08:06. > :08:10.Christine can finish like that. Down the home straight! I was about

:08:10. > :08:16.40 metres from the finish last night and Christine had a lot to do.

:08:16. > :08:22.The difference in pace was a sound game. It was like the two of them

:08:22. > :08:26.were in a different race. The thing is, at that vital moment, which is

:08:26. > :08:30.three metres from the line, Amantle Montsho did not look tired or

:08:30. > :08:36.fatigue. It was literally a case that she was not dipping and she

:08:36. > :08:41.was not working through the line. We said earlier on, you have to go

:08:41. > :08:46.through basics -- go back to basics, run through the line and she did

:08:46. > :08:51.not do it. Christine is quite a private character but we did see an

:08:51. > :08:54.outpouring of emotion when she got a medal. Yes, she is very composed

:08:54. > :08:58.and whether she is successful or not she tends to be very measured

:08:58. > :09:02.about what she says but this time the floodgates opened and you could

:09:02. > :09:07.tell how much this really meant to but. As I said last night, she has

:09:07. > :09:11.been through so much, a lot of lows in her sporting career and I

:09:11. > :09:15.remember that going into Deighan she ran our British trials and she

:09:15. > :09:25.looked out of sorts and I wondered if it could be a turning point in

:09:25. > :09:33.

:09:33. > :09:38.her career. -- they do. --Daegu. I have never seen you so emotional

:09:38. > :09:43.before. I do not know what to say. I thought I was going to pass up.

:09:43. > :09:47.Let us have a close-up look at the medal. For me, a national record,

:09:47. > :09:51.that has been great to be world champion before and Olympic

:09:51. > :09:58.champion and Commonwealth champion but I needed the national record to

:09:58. > :10:05.kind of cement my 400m rain. have done that and more besides.

:10:05. > :10:09.am so happy and that PB, I am so happy. I told my coach earlier

:10:09. > :10:14.today that I thought I was going mad. I think you go through a whole

:10:14. > :10:21.load of emotions that you cannot quite explain. It is so weird, it

:10:21. > :10:29.is not very nice. Thank God they came through the other side. Two

:10:29. > :10:33.got be the glory, and everything, it is that that got me through. My

:10:33. > :10:37.sister is here so I can celebrate with her after was. There has been

:10:37. > :10:43.a wonderful occasion for us all tonight and your family especially.

:10:43. > :10:52.Yes, I know, I am so happy. I just don't know what is said. It is

:10:52. > :10:55.really hard, I am just so grateful and thankful... I think your

:10:55. > :10:59.emotions say tour. Thank you for talking to us.

:10:59. > :11:02.You just get an idea of how much she did mean to have. Absolutely,

:11:02. > :11:08.and she went on to find a lot of people but the person she should

:11:08. > :11:12.really be congratulated as herself. She has had to really dig deep and

:11:12. > :11:17.confined -- and find it rekindled passion and drive for this event

:11:17. > :11:20.and she has done that, she has defected it and got it right and

:11:20. > :11:25.changed up a season of it and those are the result of hard work.

:11:25. > :11:29.know all about perseverance and sticking at it and it is five years

:11:29. > :11:36.since you one in Beijing. It has been five years and has not been

:11:36. > :11:42.five easy years. She was the person who was hardest on herself last

:11:42. > :11:48.year. A lot of people were pleased for her and her silver medal but

:11:48. > :11:52.she knew she could have done better and that is what this year has been

:11:52. > :11:57.about. I don't think she realised when she had finished, she was so

:11:57. > :12:00.concerned when she won the race that she had not seen the time.

:12:00. > :12:04.will talk that a more about Christine later and told Raku is

:12:04. > :12:11.the greatest British female act rid of all time but we will focus now

:12:11. > :12:14.on the athlete -- on the heptathlon. on the athlete -- on the heptathlon.

:12:14. > :12:20.-- greatest British female athlete. The first event of the heptathlon

:12:20. > :12:25.was the hurdles yesterday morning. The defending champion from Russia

:12:25. > :12:31.and no Jessica Ennis-Hill. It is up to Katarina Johnson-Thompson to

:12:31. > :12:40.hold British hopes five. It was Brianne Theisen Eaton that came

:12:40. > :12:48.true to one. -- came through to win. Her husband won the decathlon a few

:12:48. > :12:52.days ago. In the high jump Brianne Theisen Eaton, one metre and 83 and

:12:52. > :13:02.1016 points. Katarina Johnson- Thompson was having a tough time in

:13:02. > :13:04.

:13:04. > :13:06.the high jump, below her lifetime best. That too was 1.83. Ganna

:13:06. > :13:16.Melnichenko of the Ukraine had tremendous support in the stadium

:13:16. > :13:17.

:13:17. > :13:26.and produced a lifetime best. Pride of place in the high jump went to

:13:26. > :13:36.the Belgian athletes, she was the biggest scorer in the second event.

:13:36. > :13:41.

:13:41. > :13:51.Left estate them. -- Nafissatou Thiam.

:13:51. > :13:54.

:13:54. > :13:58.There were poor points for the Canadian them. Ganna Melnichenko

:13:59. > :14:03.improved. It was always going to be at a test for Katarina Johnson-

:14:03. > :14:07.Thompson. By her own admittance, the throes are not the strongest

:14:07. > :14:13.discipline. She has got the javelin today but she lost a lot of points

:14:13. > :14:18.and went down the table. In the final event, the 200m there was a

:14:18. > :14:22.chance again to see Brianne Theisen Eaton of Canada. She will certainly

:14:22. > :14:26.figure highly on the Commonwealth - - when the Commonwealth Games come

:14:26. > :14:32.to Glasgow next year. She ran well in the outside lane. She was

:14:32. > :14:39.looking close to something like four -- 24 seconds. She held off

:14:39. > :14:44.the opposition and in the end it was 24.18 and 963 points and a good

:14:44. > :14:50.finish to day one for Brianne Theisen Eaton. On to the last heat,

:14:50. > :14:55.the last event in the heptathlon on day one. This included Katarina

:14:55. > :14:58.Johnson-Thompson, determined to make up for lost ground in the shot

:14:58. > :15:02.put. Right on the outside lane though it was Dafne Schippers of

:15:02. > :15:08.the nether lands who was absolutely flying. She is a specialist

:15:08. > :15:14.sprinter but she chose they had the Avalon to shine in and went under

:15:14. > :15:23.20 seconds. -- heptathlon to shine in a. Katarina Johnson-Thompson got

:15:23. > :15:32.a new lifetime best. At the end of day one it was Ganna Melnichenko

:15:32. > :15:35.who is at the top of the table with 75 points. She is ahead of Dafne

:15:35. > :15:40.Schippers. The Dutch lady finished seven places higher after the third

:15:40. > :15:44.event to end the day in second place. Sharon Day of the United

:15:44. > :15:50.States was hanging on in the medal position in third. Rihanna thighs

:15:50. > :15:53.and eaten was in fourth place after leading after event one. Katarina

:15:53. > :15:58.Johnson-Thompson was the biggest mover, moving up eight places after

:15:58. > :16:01.mover, moving up eight places after a personal best in the 200m.

:16:01. > :16:06.Day One ended well for Katarina Johnson-Thompson and we hope that

:16:06. > :16:10.the day two will begin well with her strongest event. She is a good

:16:10. > :16:17.long jumper. She is the reigning world junior champion for that

:16:17. > :16:24.event. She has jumped a slightly windy 81. If she can produce

:16:24. > :16:30.something like that, it is a big ass because she is on tired legs

:16:30. > :16:35.but, but she will catapult up the leaderboard. 6.8 to one a medal

:16:35. > :16:38.here but the conditions were different, it was wind-assisted.

:16:38. > :16:42.Jessica Ennis-Hill's coach has said that Katarina Johnson-Thompson

:16:42. > :16:47.could be an even better heptathletes than Jessica Ennis-

:16:47. > :16:51.Hill. Yes,. You have seen the heptathlon field and they come in

:16:51. > :16:55.all shapes and sizes. Katarina Johnson-Thompson I think is the

:16:55. > :16:59.quintessential heptathletes, she is long and rangy and has decent speed

:16:59. > :17:03.abilities and is a good jumper. You can see by her body that there is

:17:03. > :17:07.still a lot of work to do because she is still very young so she

:17:07. > :17:11.needs more conditioning and more weights but look at their results.

:17:11. > :17:15.Look at her performances, she is better than Jessica Ennis-Hill was

:17:15. > :17:18.at this age. I like these comparisons by really have to do it

:17:18. > :17:22.on the day and you don't know what they Korea will look like, whether

:17:22. > :17:27.there will be injuries and what- have-you but there is a long way to

:17:27. > :17:30.go for her. Yes, there is that development of an athlete. That is

:17:31. > :17:36.where Jessica Ennis-Hill's coach has done so well with her. He has

:17:36. > :17:40.taken every from junior amateur to become the athletes she is today.

:17:40. > :17:45.Absolutely. That is why we talk about the effects of the legacy,

:17:45. > :17:50.looking after the club coaches to recognise that talent at work on it

:17:50. > :17:57.and hone it to reach the top level and be at that level. Caterina have

:17:57. > :18:01.that. She has that guidance and it is the long-term plan and the coach

:18:02. > :18:06.that can take the the junior with a long-term plan for them to reach

:18:06. > :18:16.the peak at that age and not too soon until they are burnt out but

:18:16. > :18:47.

:18:47. > :18:57.not too late either. There must be First, to the woman's 20km walk.

:18:57. > :19:14.

:19:14. > :19:24.There is more than 60 of them. There is Elena Lashmanova. She is very

:19:24. > :19:25.

:19:26. > :19:32.much the athletes to watch. There is a trio of Russians. The Russians

:19:32. > :19:42.have a tremendous tradition in walking. They have won seven

:19:42. > :19:42.

:19:43. > :19:52.championship gold medals in the past, a phenomenal achievement.

:19:52. > :20:01.There are also quite a few Chinese athletes in this race. Over 60 of

:20:01. > :20:08.them competing, what they will do is start in this medium, then they walk

:20:08. > :20:17.550 metres, nine laps of a two kilometre circuit after that. The

:20:17. > :20:23.powers that be realise that quite often in walks, but it wasn't really

:20:23. > :20:30.a spectator event. Since then the half put these walks on looked

:20:30. > :20:40.courses and it is far more spectator friendly now. There is a tremendous

:20:40. > :20:40.

:20:40. > :20:46.field of 60 odd walkers. No defending champion this time. The

:20:46. > :20:51.Russian who held this title three times in all, she has health issues,

:20:51. > :21:01.is a she will take part. Elena Lashmanova start as favourites. Away

:21:01. > :21:08.we go. Well, there are judges out on the course. There is a real hold-up

:21:08. > :21:16.right at the back there. That is the problem with so many walkers. They

:21:16. > :21:22.will soon settled into their rhythm. You will soon see who starts

:21:22. > :21:26.to emerge. It is bright above us here in the stadium, and when they

:21:26. > :21:32.come round towards the hundred metres starts, you will save the

:21:32. > :21:39.athletes be often sunshine. It is not desperately warm or desperately

:21:39. > :21:45.humid, and that will be much kinder conditions for these walkers. When

:21:45. > :21:55.the men's competition was held, which was run by a Russian who had

:21:55. > :21:56.

:21:56. > :22:02.tremendous support, it was very humid and very hot, too. We have an

:22:02. > :22:07.Irish competitor in a months the athletes there, Laura Reynolds. She

:22:07. > :22:12.finished sixth only a few weeks ago at the world student games, so she

:22:12. > :22:18.is in pretty good form. Already the athletes are strung out. I will go

:22:18. > :22:23.once more around the track, then leave the stadium and get onto the

:22:23. > :22:27.two kilometre looked course. You can imagine the situation arising when

:22:27. > :22:37.we get to the 50, to walk for men who are also on that course, that is

:22:37. > :22:40.

:22:40. > :22:50.a nightmare for the judges. Once athletes start slapping each other.

:22:50. > :23:07.

:23:07. > :23:17.It is a very steady pace early on. It'll be about one hour 30 minutes

:23:17. > :23:20.

:23:20. > :23:30.to go before we see them back in the stadium. Hong Liu there has one

:23:30. > :23:33.

:23:33. > :23:38.medals at world championships before. You could say that Hong Liu

:23:38. > :23:46.is one of the unluckiest athletes, twice she has finished fourth at the

:23:46. > :23:52.Olympic Games. Now they leave the stadium. Just over 19 kilometres to

:23:52. > :24:00.go. We will be joining the race walkers periodically around the

:24:00. > :24:06.track to give you progress. Also, there can be warming subjected to

:24:06. > :24:12.the athletes by the judges that are placed discreetly around the course

:24:12. > :24:18.for a listing. In other words, are the athletes breaking contact with

:24:18. > :24:24.the ground. That was the problem we had just after the start, one of the

:24:24. > :24:28.athletes fail. There is one of the judges they are. He is having a

:24:29. > :24:38.close look at one of the athletes are there. Surely no warnings so

:24:39. > :24:40.

:24:40. > :24:47.early. It really is a magnificent stadium. Set in parkland. A very

:24:47. > :24:51.popular place for the residents of Moscow to come and spend their time

:24:51. > :25:01.on a Saturday or a Sunday. Nice to see some spectators out on the

:25:01. > :25:02.

:25:02. > :25:09.course, too. Back inside the stadium we have the habitat: Long jump

:25:09. > :25:19.pretty much under way now. The heats of the 5,000m, where we will be

:25:19. > :25:25.

:25:25. > :25:31.seeing the world 10,000m champion, Mo Farah, later on this morning. The

:25:31. > :25:39.Olympic bronze purpose back in 2008 is just leading right on the inside

:25:39. > :25:42.there, wearing the blue strip of Italy. She finished fourth in the

:25:42. > :25:48.last world championships. The Italians have a tremendous record in

:25:48. > :25:53.racewalking. The Russians are the nation that have dominated the

:25:53. > :26:00.women's event for Sue, so long. The Chinese are catching quickly. The

:26:00. > :26:10.Spaniards have always been very strong, too. A couple of latter

:26:10. > :26:24.

:26:24. > :26:31.Mallon athletes there. Elisa Rigaudo leads. Just over five minutes gone

:26:31. > :26:37.in this 20km walk. That will keep you updated as time goes on. So come

:26:37. > :26:45.back to the habitat and long jump. All the athletes here expecting to

:26:45. > :26:50.go beyond six metres. Katarina Johnson-Thompson will be open to do

:26:50. > :26:58.a lot further than that. She is the reigning world junior long jump

:26:58. > :27:07.champion. That was a title she won surprisingly last year. 6.81 metres.

:27:07. > :27:17.After long long effort. If she can, I fully expect her to stay in the

:27:17. > :27:20.

:27:20. > :27:25.top six, if not move higher. Now we have Brianne Theisen Eaton. That is

:27:25. > :27:29.a very solid starts, but she gets the red flag. That is not what you

:27:29. > :27:37.want at the beginning of the heptathlon long jump, as I'm sure

:27:37. > :27:41.Denise Lewis will confirm. Perhaps a bit overanxious. She is just having

:27:41. > :27:46.a look at the board. No clues being given by the judges. She clearly

:27:46. > :27:55.broke the line that goes from the board to the plasticine. Only two

:27:55. > :27:58.attempts left with the Canadian. We talked about the weakness of

:27:58. > :28:08.Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the shot put. No such problem for

:28:08. > :28:10.

:28:10. > :28:14.Valerie Adams. Last night, again, she retained her world title.

:28:14. > :28:24.This is total domination by Valerie Adams. She is getting better and

:28:24. > :28:36.

:28:36. > :28:41.outdoor world championship titles in a row! I am stoked on today. I am

:28:41. > :28:46.really happy to get it in the bag and claim my fourth world title. I

:28:46. > :28:51.dedicate this to my coach, he was 70 this year. Without that money

:28:51. > :28:56.wouldn't be standing here today. It has been an amazing evening. I

:28:56. > :29:04.wanted to dominate the competition from the work go, and I did that. I

:29:04. > :29:09.am stoked! You seem so calm, so it shouldn't deliver every time.

:29:09. > :29:16.can be deceiving! I did try to stay cam and think about the things that

:29:16. > :29:22.I know that I can do. I was very consistent today, my fourth world

:29:22. > :29:29.title! And other magical moment. Congratulations.

:29:29. > :29:34.She has been totally dominant. Sometimes with the big tourist you

:29:34. > :29:39.don't get their personalities, but whether her, you do excavation work

:29:39. > :29:43.she lets it all out there! personality is so infectious and she

:29:43. > :29:48.is so determined to do well. She just dominated it. She got better

:29:48. > :29:55.and better when the competition went on. You can see her much that fourth

:29:55. > :30:00.world title means to her. On Twitter last night she had a lovely picture

:30:00. > :30:05.of her medal to show everybody. You can see how proud she is. Go and

:30:05. > :30:12.have a quick look! Fourth in a row for her, Paula. It is hard to keep

:30:12. > :30:16.your motivation going. Definitely. I think your motivation is that you

:30:16. > :30:24.love is that she loves what she was doing, basically. She wants to keep

:30:24. > :30:28.coming back and performance. She said Gooch was 70 this year? Yes.

:30:28. > :30:34.That is someone who has really inspired her. I think she is still

:30:34. > :30:38.enjoying watches doing, and she might be back for her faith! She has

:30:38. > :30:42.gone through that same preparation, lifting the same weights in the same

:30:42. > :30:45.gym, jumping over the same hurdles, jewels and she might be back for her

:30:45. > :30:47.faith! She has gone through that same preparation, lifting the same

:30:47. > :30:50.weights in the same gym, jumping over the same hurdles, choose

:30:50. > :30:54.incredible mental fortitude. You do need that to retain titles. She is

:30:54. > :31:02.quick, dynamic, she has broken that stranglehold of the Europeans on

:31:02. > :31:07.that event. She is better than ever! She is enjoying it. People forget is

:31:07. > :31:17.that it is hard work out there, but if you enjoyed with judging you can

:31:17. > :31:27.

:31:27. > :31:31.She was denied the chance to get the gold medal at the Olympic Games

:31:31. > :31:35.yesterday because the winner was proven to be a drug cheat. It is

:31:35. > :31:44.such a shame. The Olympics should do something about that. There

:31:44. > :31:50.should be a proper ceremony to honour her true victory. Two we

:31:50. > :31:53.will go live now to the women's heptathlon at long jump. We just

:31:53. > :32:00.missed Katarina Johnson-Thompson. It was a foul but it look like a

:32:00. > :32:05.long jump. Yes, I will be interested to see how much over the

:32:05. > :32:09.board she was because that looked very good indeed. OK. She will have

:32:09. > :32:13.to make that adjustment. She is looking good and she seems relaxed

:32:13. > :32:23.and that is really important at this stage. The legs are heavily

:32:23. > :32:27.

:32:27. > :32:30.but this is worthy fight starts for the heptathlon. If she wants to

:32:30. > :32:35.finish within the top eight, this is where it really does start for

:32:35. > :32:40.have. There is a lot of pressure. There are only three jumps. She

:32:40. > :32:43.performed a personal best last year in London but this is not stodgy

:32:43. > :32:46.one. It isn't, but she is quick and she will have to make the

:32:46. > :32:49.adjustment early and not put herself under pressure for her

:32:49. > :32:53.third jump. She will need to be a bit more measured and still keep

:32:53. > :32:58.their discipline on the run way to make sure she has got the accuracy

:32:58. > :33:03.on the board. We will go back to what Jessica Ennis-Hill's coach was

:33:03. > :33:09.saying about Katarina Johnson Thomson. He said better than

:33:09. > :33:13.Jessica, pound-for-pound. It is a big call. Yes, but she has proved

:33:13. > :33:16.that she is strong and she is quick. We have talked about the

:33:16. > :33:20.development and that is the most crucial thing. We have seen a whole

:33:20. > :33:26.host of events where athletes are greater juniors and they come

:33:26. > :33:30.through but to be a decent heptathlete, you have got to grow

:33:30. > :33:35.with the events. There is still so much to learn out there which

:33:35. > :33:39.Katerina is only just on the first tentative step. Two more jumps for

:33:39. > :33:46.Katrina Johnston Thomson. We have also got Robbie Grabarz out on the

:33:46. > :33:56.infield, he is qualified for the man's high jump. We can catch up

:33:56. > :33:56.

:33:56. > :34:01.now with his thoughts ahead of these championships.

:34:01. > :34:05.Because I have not had such a great run in, I feel I have taken the

:34:05. > :34:09.pressure off myself but training is going very well so I have high

:34:09. > :34:13.expectations. I have had a couple of annoying setbacks this year with

:34:13. > :34:16.my knee and I have managed to not lose too many competitions but I

:34:16. > :34:19.had missed the technical bits between the competitions which is

:34:19. > :34:23.where I have fallen down but I have managed to string a few sessions

:34:23. > :34:28.together so now I am looking forward to it. These guys have

:34:28. > :34:34.turned it on another level. Two guys over 2.40 and a guide tent in

:34:34. > :34:38.the world record is not messing around, especially with that world

:34:38. > :34:43.record where it is, I could get a personal best and not medal here.

:34:43. > :34:47.The standard is very high. Very good from Robbie Grabarz. Since I

:34:47. > :34:51.won a medal, there seems to have been a press on the fast-forward

:34:51. > :34:56.button and things are going faster than ever before. I have finally

:34:56. > :35:04.slowed it down and I'm getting back on my feet now. Everything has been

:35:04. > :35:08.busy. I am actually a bit of a clown a lot of the time and that

:35:08. > :35:12.actually works for me. I need to be that person because that is when I

:35:12. > :35:18.perform well. Robbie Grabarz had a great year

:35:18. > :35:24.last year. It has not been a great season so far this year. It has not.

:35:24. > :35:28.It has not been easy at all. He has really struggled to find form. I

:35:28. > :35:32.don't know if he has had setbacks and niggles but I think it has been

:35:32. > :35:36.the mental adjustment that he has struggled with. Such a fantastic

:35:36. > :35:40.year for him when he has that numerous personal bests and got an

:35:40. > :35:43.Olympic bronze medal. He wants to capitalise on that but it all got

:35:43. > :35:47.the better of him. It is good to see him here because there was a

:35:47. > :35:52.time when I was worried he might not qualify for these championships

:35:52. > :35:56.but he is in a better frame of mind and the qualification at 2.31, that

:35:56. > :35:59.is probably the best jump he have done this year so he must keep

:35:59. > :36:06.focused. This is going back to Valerie Adams, you can take it for

:36:06. > :36:10.granted that she keeps winning world titles but he has got the

:36:10. > :36:14.bronze medal match can take a bit of adjustment for him. Yes, we are

:36:14. > :36:20.talking about the adjustment period after the Olympic Games and

:36:20. > :36:24.especially where has gone really well, there is a lacking... Not so

:36:24. > :36:27.lacking in motivation that an adjustment to a new level and

:36:27. > :36:31.enjoying the moment but then putting it in a box and moving on

:36:31. > :36:36.to the next target and not just dwelling on what you did last year

:36:36. > :36:41.because it is not as -- it is not about that any more. You're only as

:36:41. > :36:44.good as you are right now. He can do it, he is a bit and performer

:36:44. > :36:49.and he will lifted for the championships. He does, and it is

:36:49. > :36:52.more about adjusting to the new expectation and yet everybody talks

:36:52. > :36:56.about the expectation for yourself up the blood talking about you.

:36:56. > :36:59.Robbie Grabarz was relatively unheard of in the UK and he has

:36:59. > :37:04.been thrust into the limelight along with our other medallists and

:37:04. > :37:08.you have to learn to deal with that and learn to deal with the fact

:37:08. > :37:12.that there is a benchmark now and an unacceptable level that she

:37:12. > :37:15.cannot fall below and I think he has had to adjust to that. He has

:37:15. > :37:25.also seen the other bronze medallist that he has shared that

:37:25. > :37:27.

:37:28. > :37:33.medal with go on to perform. He has gone on to jump 2.40 at this year.

:37:33. > :37:40.Mutaz Essa Barshim. He has just embraced his success. The high jump

:37:40. > :37:45.has moved on somewhat. 2.29 for a bronze medal in London but the 2.29

:37:45. > :37:48.will be off the pace here in Moscow. It could well be. You have got

:37:48. > :37:54.Bohdan Bodarenko in there who will probably try to challenge for the

:37:54. > :37:58.world record. Robbie Grabarz has got to be on his game. His run-up

:37:58. > :38:03.has got to be right and I hope his preparation has gone well. He has

:38:03. > :38:07.got a great relationship with his coach who has guided him to this

:38:07. > :38:11.success and he has got to want it enough. The high jump qualification

:38:11. > :38:14.is getting under way and also under way is the women's heptathlon long

:38:14. > :38:20.jump. jump.

:38:20. > :38:26.A disappointing for Katharina Thomson to -- Katarina Johnson-

:38:26. > :38:29.Thompson who got a foul in the first round. Only two jumps left.

:38:29. > :38:35.Ganna Melnichenko is there a surprise lead after the first day

:38:35. > :38:38.and she has got big support in the stadium. A new lifetime's best in

:38:38. > :38:48.the high jump yesterday. What is her long jumping like? Quite

:38:48. > :38:49.

:38:49. > :38:53.powerful at take-off. A six-metre long jump in the heptathlon is 850

:38:54. > :38:58.points and that would be a very useful addition to her 75 point

:38:58. > :39:07.lead over a Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands. Dafne Schippers is yet

:39:07. > :39:11.to jump in this competition. That looks a little bit further than six

:39:11. > :39:15.metres. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is a 6.80 jumper when she is at her

:39:15. > :39:23.very best. If she can achieve that kind of distance today that would

:39:23. > :39:28.be a tremendous points total for the young and Britain. Ganna

:39:28. > :39:35.Melnichenko is still waiting for her distance. It is 6.23, good

:39:35. > :39:39.point for the Ukrainian who is still in the lead.

:39:39. > :39:43.Robbie Grabarz is taking an early entry into this high jump

:39:43. > :39:50.qualifying competition. Two metres 31 is what is required to go

:39:50. > :39:54.through to the final on Thursday. 2.31. As the guys in the studio had

:39:54. > :40:00.been saying, the high jumping in the last 12 months has really moved

:40:00. > :40:05.on. In the same pool as Robbie Grabarz is Mutaz Essa Barshim and

:40:05. > :40:15.the brilliant one-day it -- Bohdan Bodarenko attempted a world record

:40:15. > :40:22.recently. That was Robbie's first attempt at 2.17 and he is safely

:40:22. > :40:27.over. A real confidence boosting efforts for Robbie Grabarz there.

:40:28. > :40:37.Very comfortable at his opening height.

:40:37. > :40:40.Dafne Schippers ended yesterday with a blistering 200m. The it took

:40:40. > :40:45.her up to second place in the standings of the heptathlon. That

:40:45. > :40:52.she could employed at speed into the long jump she could jump a long

:40:52. > :41:02.way. That certainly seems as though it is in excess of what Ganna

:41:02. > :41:04.

:41:04. > :41:09.Melnichenko achieved. It could be a bit further. She would close the

:41:09. > :41:16.gap. There is only the javelin and the 800m to come later today. 6.35,

:41:16. > :41:19.she as close the gap. She is still in second. Sharon Day is in a

:41:19. > :41:25.similar situation to Katarina Johnson-Thompson. She gave it

:41:25. > :41:29.everything in the first round but fouled. She is in third place. Just

:41:29. > :41:38.a single point behind Jackie shippers. As you can see, a bit of

:41:38. > :41:48.a novice when it comes to a long jumping. She has jumped 6.15 as a

:41:48. > :41:54.lifetime best. A good take-off which is what Katarina Johnson-

:41:54. > :41:59.Thompson will require when she takes her second jump. That is a

:41:59. > :42:08.5.66 long jump and she has moved down into 5th place. Brianne

:42:08. > :42:16.Theisen Eaton is still hanging on to third place overall. The Alice a

:42:16. > :42:21.bit of rhythmic clapping from the crowd and that is long. She is the

:42:22. > :42:25.top ranked Commonwealth athlete in this heptathletes -- heptathlon

:42:25. > :42:29.competition. No defending champion at the moment which is a big

:42:29. > :42:33.disappointment for the Russian crowd. No Olympic champion in the

:42:33. > :42:43.shape of Jessica Ennis-Hill and we all wished Geoff Wicker a speedy

:42:43. > :42:44.

:42:44. > :42:51.recovery. -- Jessica or. That is her new lifetime best. Well done.

:42:51. > :43:00.She stays in fourth place. Well, back out on a course for the

:43:00. > :43:10.walk. I think they are just approaching the five km point. Inez

:43:10. > :43:15.

:43:15. > :43:21.Enrique has of Portugal is just leading there. -- Inez Henry tears.

:43:21. > :43:31.The spray Mist is being used by just about everybody. It is getting

:43:31. > :43:35.hotter and hotter as time progresses. There are no split the

:43:35. > :43:44.being put up yet so I think I am right in assuming that five km has

:43:44. > :43:50.not quite been reached just yet. It is the Italian who was leading when

:43:50. > :44:00.we left the stadium about the 90 minutes ago. She is still looking

:44:00. > :44:10.very strong. There is a gap just opening up with two athletes at the

:44:10. > :44:14.

:44:14. > :44:17.front. Five km has been reached in 23.16. That is quite quick but not

:44:17. > :44:21.world-record pace by any stretch of the imagination but there is no

:44:21. > :44:26.wind to trouble the athletes. It will only be the heat and the

:44:26. > :44:31.increasing humidity that will give any of these athletes a problem

:44:31. > :44:41.that the Olympic bronze medallist from 2008 in Beijing is our leader

:44:41. > :44:45.

:44:45. > :44:53.at the moment. The field has been quite strung-out over that first

:44:53. > :44:59.five km. The split will give us a very good idea indeed as to the

:44:59. > :45:05.pace when they reach the halfway point and no sign of the Russians

:45:05. > :45:13.yet, particularly Elena Lashmanova who we were expecting to figure in

:45:13. > :45:23.the final standards from, at final standings. She is the Olympic and

:45:23. > :45:23.

:45:23. > :46:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:46:10. > :46:20.out on the course. They will get a very good view. Regular public

:46:20. > :46:43.

:46:43. > :46:53.heptathlon long jump. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is done in six

:46:53. > :47:04.

:47:04. > :47:11.place. Another solid jump by Ganna Melnichenko. She certainly seems to

:47:11. > :47:21.be on a real high, ever since the high jump. She was solid in the shot

:47:21. > :47:26.

:47:26. > :47:31.put, close to her lifetime best in the 200m. There is good support by a

:47:31. > :47:41.lot of Ukrainians here. Ganna Melnichenko, 6.49 metres, the best

:47:41. > :47:42.

:47:42. > :47:48.she has achieved this year. A lot of people are quite disappointed that

:47:48. > :47:58.Karolina Tyminska has not put up more of a fight here. He she goes

:47:58. > :48:04.with her second attempt in the long jump. She gets the red flag! It will

:48:04. > :48:10.be interesting to see... That was only just! I think she was a bit

:48:10. > :48:15.unlucky there. Her to may have just been over the end of the board, but

:48:15. > :48:25.as long as it did make an impression in the plasticine that would be OK,

:48:25. > :48:42.

:48:42. > :48:50.but it obviously did. She has been tremendous speed and this she could

:48:50. > :48:54.employ that in the long jump, she would jump out of the stadium! So,

:48:54. > :49:00.Dafne Schippers looking to capitalise on her speed. She was

:49:00. > :49:10.glad that take off, and that doesn't look as good as she achieved, the

:49:10. > :49:11.

:49:11. > :49:21.6.35 metres she achieved in the first round. The longest jump we

:49:21. > :49:32.

:49:32. > :49:41.have had this morning has been six point 67 metres by Claudia Rath.

:49:42. > :49:51.Ganna Melnichenko has the second long as jump of the day. Here goes

:49:52. > :49:54.

:49:55. > :50:01.Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Let's have chicken meal one this time. --

:50:01. > :50:10.let's hope she can kneel one this time. There is my columns, who has

:50:10. > :50:20.been a tremendous coach over the years. Well, that look pretty

:50:20. > :50:26.useful! She has the white flag! Thank goodness! It is a simple

:50:26. > :50:30.technique, but she deploys Goodspeed. She slammed down that put

:50:31. > :50:40.on take off. That looks long. She is not the world junior long jump

:50:40. > :50:49.champion for nothing, is she? Little smile comes across her face. 6.56

:50:49. > :50:59.metres. Her world Jim Green -- her world junior champion jump was wind

:50:59. > :51:21.

:51:21. > :51:29.assisted. That is a cracking jump by crowd will be hard to beat. This is

:51:30. > :51:36.only the qualifying. 2.17 metres, the Olympic champion from London is

:51:36. > :51:46.safely through with his first jump. The men's high jump, when we get to

:51:46. > :51:47.

:51:47. > :51:51.the final stages will be incredibly Johnson Thompson. She soon needed

:51:51. > :51:59.that. She needed to be competitive and respond to other competitors and

:52:00. > :52:04.she has done that. A new personal best, 6.56 metres. It is brilliant.

:52:04. > :52:13.She showed no fear, Paula. We were waiting for the white flag to go

:52:13. > :52:15.up. She went for it! She wasn't happy with it either, she looked as

:54:07. > :54:17.his place in world championship history. We are all set for the big

:54:17. > :54:20.

:54:20. > :54:29.race with one of the best views in medal that slipped away in 2011.

:54:29. > :54:33.few laps in, Mo Farah is staying out of trouble. Just going on the

:54:34. > :54:38.shorter on the man who beat him at the last world championships.

:54:38. > :54:48.after half way the field is spread out, Mo Farah is ideally positioned.

:54:48. > :54:53.There was talk of someone taking a hearts. The closer we get to three

:54:53. > :55:00.or four laps to go, because he gets to the front. His skipper of victory

:55:00. > :55:07.two years ago came to leave. Surely this time he will bide his time.

:55:07. > :55:15.This is smart, this is tactical, this is clever. Mo Farah is in

:55:15. > :55:22.front! One lap to glory! Mo Farah digging deep! He is going to get

:55:22. > :55:27.there! This is world domination! The first Briton ever to win the world's

:55:27. > :55:37.10,000m gold, it is glory upon glory of one of the undisputed greats of

:55:37. > :55:52.

:55:53. > :55:57.Ohuruogu, the greatest British female athlete of all time. What you

:55:57. > :56:01.think about Mo Farah the way he is going now? He is certainly the

:56:01. > :56:07.greatest distance runner we have ever had. He has won more medals

:56:08. > :56:12.already than athletes in the world sense, he is amongst the best. He is

:56:12. > :56:16.the only one of the applicants whose name you would put in amongst the

:56:17. > :56:21.all-time greats who still has things to do. We can improve on his

:56:21. > :56:26.position. His only a few fast races were a medal or two away from

:56:26. > :56:36.literally one of the all-time greats. He has a depth -- difficult

:56:36. > :56:39.

:56:39. > :56:45.group of people up against him. You need to break world records. That is

:56:45. > :56:49.what's people say to us, he hasn't broken the world records. You still

:56:49. > :56:56.has lots more to come. Someone asked me the question about Christine last

:56:56. > :57:01.night as well. It is a great debates. You can debate these

:57:01. > :57:06.things, that is the great thing. When you do debate them, you need to

:57:06. > :57:10.debate them with proper information, look at the records, the titles, and

:57:10. > :57:20.away the way they won those events, look at the range of events. The

:57:20. > :57:28.names that you said, highly dubious Lassie, Vladimir dates, but at the

:57:28. > :57:32.end of the day you're looking at rate athletes. I am with treat by

:57:32. > :57:37.his partner, Galen. His partner is extremely nice, extremely generous,

:57:37. > :57:43.one of the few athletes in the world who does things come he sacrifices

:57:43. > :57:48.as performance sometimes, for the benefit of his team-mate. I was

:57:48. > :57:53.chatting the other day about coaching. Coaches need to cut their

:57:53. > :57:59.teeth the little bit as well. It is almost as though that Alberto has

:57:59. > :58:09.learned to his time with Galen, and has passed on that knowledge to Mo

:58:09. > :58:09.

:58:09. > :58:16.Farah. Mo Farah has popped in that little group are just the right

:58:16. > :58:20.time. I think the problem with Galen is that he is always number two. I'm

:58:20. > :58:26.not sure he always runs his own race. It will be interesting to see

:58:26. > :58:30.what happens in the 5,000m. That is a harder race for Mo Farah. If he is

:58:31. > :58:38.the boss and training, it is really difficult to try and beat him in a

:58:39. > :58:48.race. You have been in that position, I have been in that

:58:49. > :58:49.

:58:49. > :58:54.position. Alberto always tries to lift up Galen. Galen eyed kicks Mo

:58:54. > :59:01.Farah in training, back and think. I think that is to give healing a

:59:01. > :59:08.better position. The pair of them will be out shortly.

:59:08. > :59:18.Those 5,000m heats up very shortly. Now down to the high jump

:59:18. > :59:20.

:59:20. > :59:27.qualification, Robbie Grabarz because of the protest by one of the

:59:27. > :59:31.jumpers to the judges. The bar has moved up to 2.22 metres automatic

:59:31. > :59:36.qualification for at least the top 12 athletes will go through to

:59:36. > :59:46.Thursday's final. 2.2 to metres is the target knife or Robbie Grabarz

:59:46. > :59:49.and the rest. It really is a star-studded field. Everybody is

:59:49. > :59:54.hoping, maybe not expecting, but opened by the time you get to the

:59:54. > :59:58.final week could see some real fireworks and some very high jumps.

:59:58. > :00:03.Conditions in the stadium generally have been very good. Robbie Grabarz

:00:03. > :00:13.is just pausing for a minute. We might have to wait to see what

:00:13. > :00:29.

:00:29. > :00:38.Moscow Olympics in 1980, but came but has he made a mistake? He must

:00:38. > :00:48.live with them around this band and attack the cant of the last bend. He

:00:48. > :00:58.looks in desperation at the big Tanzanians. Coghlan is beaten. I

:00:58. > :01:21.

:01:21. > :01:27.The attacking point will come on the bend. He says, watch me go! Go

:01:27. > :01:37.he does, Eamonn Coghlan on his way to a major title for the first time

:01:37. > :01:42.

:01:42. > :01:48.in his life. Brilliantly run, the champion of the world. He got his

:01:48. > :01:57.tactics wrong in the 5,000m in 1980 that he did not panic them. He

:01:57. > :02:05.waited and waited. At this moment the Irish man is smiling. Look at

:02:05. > :02:11.this, he knows he is going to win What do you make of all that on the

:02:11. > :02:16.top bend? A bit cheeky. That was the world record for celebrating

:02:16. > :02:25.early! He had a great career. It was wonderful that he eventually

:02:25. > :02:28.became world champion. We have to be really nice to him because the

:02:28. > :02:35.Irish to looking company is not covering that these championships

:02:35. > :02:39.and relying on our coverage. For Mo Farah to become the greatest ever,

:02:39. > :02:43.you think he has to break some records, which record you think he

:02:43. > :02:49.is most likely to break? Personally I think he is capable of breaking...

:02:49. > :02:56.If you look at his 1,500m which she runs faster than Steve run or

:02:56. > :03:00.Sebastian Coe or Steve Ovett, when he runs up the distance, then

:03:00. > :03:04.5,000m... But it is a great record at the moment. It will be difficult

:03:04. > :03:11.for him because if his attention turns to the marathon next year,

:03:11. > :03:16.when does he do it? When will he attacked the fast time? He can run

:03:16. > :03:18.fast times but if he has a world record in him, I hope so but we

:03:18. > :03:23.record in him, I hope so but we will wait and see. This is the

:03:23. > :03:28.first hit. Mo Farah is in the second hit. Bernard Lagat, a former

:03:28. > :03:33.world champion is going to go in the first heat. The should be

:03:33. > :03:43.fairly straightforward qualification I would imagine.

:03:43. > :03:44.

:03:44. > :03:46.Paula Radcliffe, how do you see this going? This is going to be

:03:46. > :03:56.interesting one. There are some youngsters are Brigades Bernard

:03:56. > :04:00.

:04:00. > :04:04.Lagat who is 38 but he has the pedigree. He has bronze and silver

:04:05. > :04:14.medals. Bernard Lagat, a big name here but

:04:15. > :04:15.

:04:15. > :04:21.he has got the two best Ethiopians against him here. There is the

:04:21. > :04:31.Olympic bronze medallist as well and the first five will go through.

:04:31. > :04:34.That is the first five from the two races and the five fastest losers.

:04:35. > :04:43.John Kipkoech was an interesting selection from the Kenyans. They

:04:43. > :04:48.have so much choice. He was given the nod. Yenew Alamirew, if you

:04:48. > :04:56.look at whether threats are going to come from, he would be one of

:04:56. > :05:06.them. His team mates is perhaps the best. Bernard Lagat is 38 but still

:05:06. > :05:08.

:05:08. > :05:18.going strong. A great 1,500m pace. When he was at his best he was the

:05:18. > :05:20.

:05:20. > :05:24.world champion at but to distance us, a remarkable achievement. Hagos

:05:24. > :05:33.Gebrhiwet has 12.47, that was last year. He did not run so well in the

:05:33. > :05:41.Olympics but this man do. Thomas Pkamei Longosiwa. He is always a

:05:41. > :05:51.threat. Actually the man next to him, Jane

:05:51. > :06:01.Robinson, the two brothers from New Zealand are now based in Kenya. --

:06:01. > :06:08.

:06:09. > :06:13.Zane Robertson. 12.5 laps of the track, as usual. The 5,000m his son

:06:13. > :06:17.never enjoyable. Actually, it is the worst distance race of the lot.

:06:17. > :06:21.When you come here, every step of this event, when you are her

:06:21. > :06:26.favourite athlete and you expect to go through to the final, it is a

:06:26. > :06:29.step you do not want to take. You are tired and you are trying to

:06:29. > :06:35.save energy. Remember how Mo Farah came off the track after the first

:06:35. > :06:40.round of the 5,000m at the Olympics? He said he was tired. You

:06:40. > :06:43.are always tired because your body is trying not to exercise and are

:06:43. > :06:47.not to hurt too much because you know that there is the big one.

:06:47. > :06:51.There was no prize for this one. The only prize is that you get to

:06:51. > :06:55.run again and if you do not make it they can destroy your and Mo Farah

:06:55. > :06:58.has been in the position in the Olympic Games in 2008 when he did

:06:58. > :07:01.not make the final so he knows it is risky and he knows what he has

:07:01. > :07:10.to do and at the end of the day this is the toughest distance race

:07:10. > :07:15.of the lot. It is the heats of the 5,000m. 65 is a pretty good pace

:07:15. > :07:25.early. It is sensible. Ten men could theoretically go through if

:07:25. > :07:34.

:07:34. > :07:40.fast races around Europe with people running in teams, it is good

:07:41. > :07:46.running and we get so sucked into the times beneath A13 but if you

:07:46. > :07:50.run 13.1 of 45000 metres, that is not bad. It is extremely good. We

:07:51. > :07:56.nearly had a little bit of a situation on our hands. The

:07:56. > :08:00.Ethiopians you can see running at the back of the field, we have just

:08:00. > :08:05.been told that the Ethiopians arrived at the stadium as the bus

:08:06. > :08:10.was leaving to take the athletes through to the track so they have

:08:10. > :08:13.had no time to warm up. They were laid here and they were all

:08:13. > :08:18.panicking and the information is that we heard they nearly missed

:08:18. > :08:27.the bus from the warm-up track to the stadium so that is unfortunate.

:08:27. > :08:32.They are running at the back and we have had the explanation why.

:08:32. > :08:36.The coach looks on, not anxiously because he must be delighted with

:08:36. > :08:44.Katarina Johnson-Thompson's second round jump of 6.56 which will get

:08:44. > :08:49.her a lot of points. Here we go. She hit the board well. Does she

:08:49. > :08:55.get the white flag? Know she does not. That was certainly well over

:08:55. > :09:01.6.50. She will have to be satisfied, and I am sure she will be, with a

:09:01. > :09:09.new lifetime legal best. She has jumped longer with wind assistance.

:09:09. > :09:17.6.56 his good points and she moves up one place in to 5th overall.

:09:17. > :09:20.Arne Gabius of Germany is leading. The first, to was 2.40.

:09:20. > :09:25.A talking about late at the track, didn't you get nearly locked in the

:09:25. > :09:33.toilets at the Olympics? What was the story? When I was running?

:09:33. > :09:38.did happen at the Olympics, in 1972, a favourite for the event he went

:09:38. > :09:42.on to win in 1980, he was locked off the track, he was stood on the

:09:42. > :09:45.trackside and he could not get through the security and he watched

:09:45. > :09:51.the 5,000m race from the side of the track with his kit on and his

:09:51. > :09:55.number on Monday was not able to run. That was 1972 and in 1976 they

:09:55. > :10:00.boycotted and it was not until he came here and run the double in

:10:00. > :10:10.1980. I had the key for the toilet when I was a runner. He would

:10:10. > :10:12.

:10:12. > :10:17.definitely in there! Can we stop talking at personal habits?

:10:17. > :10:27.pace has been pretty good here which is why they are stretched out.

:10:27. > :10:33.

:10:33. > :10:43.They are sorting themselves out. John Kipkoech is just in front of

:10:43. > :10:44.

:10:44. > :10:47.Abdouleye Abdelkarim. -- you know Allam Carew -- Yenew Alamirew.

:10:48. > :10:52.We hear that Zane Robertson has gone to Kenya and is very happy

:10:52. > :10:57.there. That really shows commitment. In distance running used to be able

:10:57. > :11:02.to stay at home but those days are gone. This young man has got the

:11:02. > :11:04.improvement to go along with it. He knows where Kenya -- he knows that

:11:04. > :11:10.Kenya is where the best distance runners come from and if he wants

:11:10. > :11:15.to run their them that is brilliant. Just behind him is Bernard Lagat

:11:15. > :11:20.from the United States. He is a true inspiration in this sport. He

:11:20. > :11:24.is a gentleman and a really nice guy and he shares his information

:11:24. > :11:29.and advises people about how to improve their running all of the

:11:29. > :11:32.time and I just think this man is a great example of an international

:11:32. > :11:37.sportsman. He is a wonderful character and he has a great

:11:37. > :11:41.attitude and he still, at the age of 38, he is still running really

:11:41. > :11:45.well but I am not sure he is going to be close. He has been champion

:11:45. > :11:50.of the world but I think those days may be behind him. He was telling

:11:50. > :11:54.me that when he ran in his last two big races in the championships, he

:11:54. > :12:00.feels as though he got his tactics log. He said his tactics were

:12:00. > :12:05.better when he was younger. Funny that. When you are fitter you

:12:05. > :12:09.have better tactics, that is what I always say! It is when you are not

:12:09. > :12:13.fit and you cannot put yourself in the positions that you want to or

:12:13. > :12:16.get out of the positions that you get yourself into. Actually, in

:12:17. > :12:21.distance running, you know what you are supposed to do but your body

:12:21. > :12:24.actually so -- actually stops being able to do it but Bernard Lagat is

:12:25. > :12:29.in that position these days but it is great that he is here. I'd love

:12:29. > :12:36.to be completely wrong and he would be among the medals. He is good

:12:36. > :12:46.friends with Mo Farah. The two of them get along well. 65. That

:12:46. > :12:51.second, to float. Aziz Lahbabi of Morocco is just picking it up again.

:12:52. > :12:59.Zane Robertson of New Zealand is tucked behind him. John Kipkoech,

:12:59. > :13:07.Bernard Lagat and Yenew Alamirew are all up there. Hagos Gebrhiwet

:13:07. > :13:10.has been at the back but he has moved up a bit. He is a danger.

:13:10. > :13:15.I think he is an outstanding athlete. But the interesting thing

:13:15. > :13:18.was that we that the panic behind them, the two if he appears started

:13:18. > :13:21.at the back of the field and took their time and they have moved

:13:21. > :13:29.their way through and forgotten about being late for Transport and

:13:29. > :13:34.here they are moving through the field, literally as we speak.

:13:34. > :13:38.is Yenew Alamirew. Bernard Lagat moved out as he moved through. The

:13:38. > :13:42.Moroccan Leeds. Yenew Alamirew is on his shoulder and his team-mate

:13:42. > :13:51.is looking for a better place but having to let others go through.

:13:51. > :13:57.There is a little bit of jostling there. It was Elroy Gelant of South

:13:57. > :14:00.Africa in the yellow. The pace is just slowing a little bit. They are

:14:01. > :14:06.coming around with five laps to go and they know there is a lot of

:14:06. > :14:14.people there still but only five will go through. Five laps to go in

:14:15. > :14:18.the first heat. It is still steady and they can run a decent time

:14:18. > :14:23.office but a few of them have decided, they have done what we

:14:23. > :14:28.have done, and they know they Ethiopians are pretty good and the

:14:28. > :14:31.Kenyans are also pretty good. Bernard Lagat can always be counted

:14:31. > :14:38.into the final so if they want to get in amongst first, and the

:14:38. > :14:42.German has got that on his mind, as has the Moroccan, they need a fast

:14:42. > :14:46.time to have an extra chance. They have taken up by the scruff of the

:14:46. > :14:56.neck and they are still moving steadily and that will bring them

:14:56. > :15:31.

:15:31. > :15:41.We can see a little bit more pushing their after Phillip Kipyeko just act

:15:41. > :15:48.

:15:48. > :15:53.on the inside. Hagos Gebrhiwet has so much confidence in his kick.

:15:53. > :15:59.has got rid of all his nerves because of the late arrival. When he

:15:59. > :16:04.gets into the position -- into the finishing straight, he is just find

:16:04. > :16:14.the position he wants to be. Night it is all just about containing your

:16:14. > :16:17.

:16:17. > :16:23.position, not getting crowded out. There is burner the gaps, running

:16:23. > :16:33.into Yenew Alamirew there, which was a bit unnecessary. -- there is

:16:33. > :16:37.

:16:37. > :16:47.Bernard Lagat. Phillip Kipyeko of Uganda, and the smaller of the

:16:47. > :16:49.

:16:49. > :16:59.canyons are just pushing and shoving all over the place. -- the canyons.

:16:59. > :17:09.

:17:09. > :17:14.is going to break from here, someone is going to Bush and make the first

:17:14. > :17:19.big hit. Bernard Lagat has got to be careful here, look after his

:17:19. > :17:28.38-year-old legs. He is just putting himself in a place where he can

:17:28. > :17:33.strike from. Now they are making moves. Robinson, the Australian.

:17:33. > :17:36.There we saw exactly what we are talking about. John Kipkoech got

:17:36. > :17:43.himself in a pickle, and I watched race down the back straight. He has

:17:43. > :17:48.decided he has got to get there. This is too quick! He could pay the

:17:48. > :17:55.penalty in the last lap for that. There is another push! Robinson

:17:55. > :18:05.involved that time. There are too many here, Steve. Only five to go

:18:05. > :18:09.through and then five fastest losers. The two Ethiopians have

:18:09. > :18:17.found themselves back in the position. John Kipkoech is now back

:18:17. > :18:23.in position. He is on the shoulder of the experienced Bernard Lagat.

:18:23. > :18:30.Now they come down the finishing straight with one lap to go.

:18:30. > :18:34.The Australian Robinson is leading them. Ryan Hill from the USA has now

:18:34. > :18:43.got involved. John Kipkoech is all over the place. He has been in,

:18:43. > :18:52.heights, on the ground. You still fighting. Hagos Gebrhiwet is

:18:52. > :18:57.starting... Bernard Lagat still with lots to do here. Look at John

:18:57. > :19:06.Kipkoech, that big effort he made to get back with the grip, it looks as

:19:06. > :19:13.if he has put paid to his chances. At the front it is the two

:19:13. > :19:21.Ethiopians, then the two Americans. Here is the sprints! Just testing

:19:21. > :19:29.each other rights. Hagos Gebrhiwet loves to do this. He thinks he has a

:19:29. > :19:39.big kick, and that is the evidence of it. One of the canyons, John

:19:39. > :19:42.

:19:42. > :19:47.Kipkoech, just crossing the line. Is Ian Robertson of New Zealand was

:19:47. > :19:53.just time to work that is still had a chance. That was a disappointing

:19:53. > :20:00.race for the young man, John Kipkoech. As I said in commentary,

:20:00. > :20:06.he panicked. He stumbles, then unfortunately it took its toll.

:20:06. > :20:10.Hagos Gebrhiwet was comfortable. That was an interesting run. Out of

:20:10. > :20:20.the fight we selected, one of them didn't qualify. There is 200m to go.

:20:20. > :20:30.Bernard Lagat is... There is John Kipkoech just fading away. There is

:20:30. > :20:30.

:20:30. > :20:35.Ryan Hill, Bernard Lagat. The two-year field beans, Hagos

:20:35. > :20:45.Gebrhiwet Yenew Alamirew. Bernard Lagat is just feeling his

:20:45. > :20:49.

:20:49. > :20:56.38-year-old legs on that occasion. So, the two Ethiopians and the two

:20:56. > :21:06.Americans. They managed to control themselves, the Ethiopians, after

:21:06. > :21:23.

:21:23. > :21:32.next five will have to wait until the next heat is finished to save

:21:32. > :21:40.they will qualify. There is Robbie Grabarz. Still a

:21:40. > :21:45.long way to go in this qualifying competition. This will give us an

:21:45. > :21:52.indication as to how well he is going. That is good! No problem at

:21:52. > :21:58.all for the British number one. He jumped 2.37 metres last year at a

:21:58. > :22:08.phenomenal competition, so we know this guy has springs in his legs

:22:08. > :22:23.

:22:23. > :22:33.when the pressure is on. Joe jumps on two successive clearances. He is

:22:33. > :22:39.looking really good, the Ukrainian. It is the first time anyone in the

:22:39. > :22:49.world has jumped 2.40 metres in a long, long time. He has won eight

:22:49. > :23:08.

:23:08. > :23:12.out of nine times. Aleksey Dmitrik really needs to stay... He has gone!

:23:12. > :23:22.That is a big shock. We fully expected the Russian high jumpers to

:23:22. > :23:37.

:23:37. > :23:47.go well here. Ivan Ukhov is still in let's hope there is no surprises for

:23:47. > :23:47.

:23:47. > :23:57.Mo Farah. Just a little fist pump with his friends and training

:23:57. > :24:01.

:24:01. > :24:06.partner Galen Rupp. Not a lot of love lost between Mo Farah and Edwin

:24:06. > :24:16.Cheruiyot Soi, they have had a few run-ins, but they will hope -- be

:24:16. > :24:25.

:24:25. > :24:35.both just hoping to make it through seeing Robinson, who we just saw in

:24:35. > :24:39.

:24:39. > :24:49.the first heat. -- is Ian far side, but their butchers are not

:24:49. > :24:55.

:24:56. > :25:05.too bad today. Edwin Cheruiyot Soi is introduced. Isiah Kiplangat Koech

:25:06. > :25:07.

:25:07. > :25:16.is still just 19 years of age. Aelemayehu Bezabeh is the Spanish

:25:16. > :25:26.record-holder. A big cheer for Rinas Akhmadeev. Do we need to talk about

:25:26. > :25:36.

:25:36. > :25:43.fastest losers, Brendan? You would that pace that the first heat went

:25:43. > :25:50.out. Weather and we once did take it on early to guarantee a sub 30 pace

:25:50. > :25:55.remains to be seen. It doesn't look like it. I said to Mo Farah when

:25:55. > :26:00.they spoke to him after his win in the 10,000m, he said it was really

:26:00. > :26:08.hard. You said it was a hard race. As soon as he finished that hard

:26:08. > :26:13.race, he met with Barry Fudge, part of the setup that surrounds Mo Farah

:26:13. > :26:19.and they go straight into recovery mode. Ice bats, carbohydrate

:26:19. > :26:26.drinks. When you finish a race, Barry said your muscles are like a

:26:26. > :26:31.sponge and you need to replace the glycogen, you need to repair the

:26:31. > :26:40.muscles, get the energy back into the system. As soon as you can have

:26:40. > :26:50.to raise, that is the optimal time to do that. The physio was giving

:26:50. > :27:11.

:27:11. > :27:19.his red -- has led to rub before the 10,000m. The understanding when your

:27:19. > :27:27.body is trying to run, but you want to try to conserve your energy for

:27:27. > :27:37.the final, that makes it quite difficult. Galen is up there, his

:27:37. > :27:37.

:27:37. > :27:47.training partner, and also his inspiration. There he his -- there

:27:47. > :27:49.

:27:49. > :27:59.he is, just talking to Mo Farah. 64 second laps, 65 second laps, that is

:27:59. > :28:02.

:28:02. > :28:07.what they need to do, keep it going at this pace. Ben St Lawrence just

:28:07. > :28:17.leaving at the moment. It is not too quick, really, but keeping

:28:17. > :28:24.

:28:24. > :28:30.themselves within range. So, they could still get within range here of

:28:30. > :28:40.the first heat times. They are just giving it at a steady pace, not

:28:40. > :28:55.

:28:55. > :29:01.today! He said the other night in the 10,000m, the reason he went to

:29:01. > :29:11.the front was to slow it down. I think he is doing the same thing

:29:11. > :29:17.

:29:17. > :29:27.here. The athletes are bunching together, crowding around. You will

:29:27. > :29:38.

:29:38. > :29:46.see his team-mates, Edwin Cheruiyot canyons might try to make Mo Farah

:29:46. > :29:52.run three hard races. So, in the heat they would make it hard, so

:29:52. > :29:59.that when he gets to the final he is tired. The lads in the 10,000m will

:29:59. > :30:09.be saying, hang on a minute, I have got is a 10,000m to run here! It

:30:09. > :30:29.

:30:29. > :30:35.less of a concentrated effect. These athletes compete against each other

:30:35. > :30:42.all the time on the circuit. In the 10,000m the only effective teamwork

:30:42. > :30:51.was being done by the team partners, Galen, Edwin Cheruiyot

:30:51. > :30:56.Soi. You know, when you train together every day, when you come to

:30:56. > :31:00.a race in this position, trying just to qualify, there is a lot of

:31:00. > :31:10.comfort in that, you know? It is like a training run, you're right

:31:10. > :31:38.

:31:38. > :31:43.with your mate during a track is a long way on a track. Is much

:31:43. > :31:46.easier when you are looking at that lap score and it says only two or

:31:46. > :31:49.three and then you can start thinking about the finish but these

:31:49. > :31:54.are the collapse were the athletes who want to get fast times need to

:31:54. > :32:03.get involved and position themselves and get something going.

:32:03. > :32:13.Muktar Edris from Ethiopia, he is a young man and a successful junior

:32:13. > :32:14.

:32:14. > :32:19.athlete but he could be another good one. Edwin Cheruiyot Soi is

:32:19. > :32:24.the athlete to beat Mo Farah in the big race in Oregon. If you look at

:32:24. > :32:30.these athletes, if you would pick of the qualifiers, you would

:32:30. > :32:40.include Mo Farah and Galen Rupp. You might pick those top five are

:32:40. > :32:41.

:32:41. > :32:45.now actually. Yes, but there are six laps to go. Every time a Mo

:32:45. > :32:48.Farah goes to the front it causes a bit of consternation amongst the

:32:48. > :32:57.others and understandably, but all he ever does is go to the front and

:32:57. > :33:01.has an easy lap and slows it down. He is doing it again. Muktar Edris

:33:01. > :33:11.is on the inside and right there and they are letting Mo Farah bunch

:33:11. > :33:17.

:33:17. > :33:21.the mark. The Kenyans are hoping to stop him dominate the race. Slowing

:33:21. > :33:25.them down is to his own physical advantage but also when he goes to

:33:25. > :33:31.the front and dictates the race, that further establishes his

:33:31. > :33:34.persona as the boss. If a man -- when a man is in that form, he is

:33:34. > :33:38.the boss of middle-distance running and long-distance running these

:33:39. > :33:42.days, and they are all bowing to his performances and it makes it a

:33:42. > :33:46.little bit easier. He is going to tell them what he wants to do and

:33:46. > :33:53.if you take the psychological advantage in a race, that often is

:33:53. > :33:58.a big advantage. They are going to have to move some of they are going

:33:58. > :34:02.to give them qualification off this. They are five seconds down on the

:34:02. > :34:07.qualification point from the first hit. They guy is have a back-up -

:34:07. > :34:12.run the guys at the front are not bothered but those are the back...

:34:12. > :34:22.That Spaniard looked as though he was going to make a move. He looked

:34:22. > :34:32.

:34:32. > :34:35.to me as though he was limping. I'm a Labour sabre used to be possible

:34:35. > :34:41.-- one of their Spanish afflicts looked as though he would have the

:34:41. > :34:45.beating of Mo Farah few years ago but he has faded off. Mo Farah is

:34:45. > :34:49.just moving out. There are four laps to go and their two Kenyans

:34:49. > :34:53.are in the front. Ethiopia, United States, Great Britain, Morocco on

:34:53. > :34:57.the inside. There are still plenty with an opportunity but somebody

:34:57. > :35:03.has got to really push on it they are to have a fastest loser spot

:35:03. > :35:08.out of that group at the front. The five expected qualifiers are in the

:35:08. > :35:18.top conditions. Mo Farah is looking over his shoulder and checking for

:35:18. > :35:19.

:35:20. > :35:29.a Galen Rupp. Mo is helping Galen Rupp in the heats and hoping that

:35:30. > :35:36.

:35:36. > :35:46.he will help him in the final. It will Kenyon is in at the front. --

:35:46. > :35:52.

:35:52. > :35:57.ones at the front, you know they can kick but you sometimes wonder

:35:57. > :36:01.why they want to wind it up so much. I think it is better to run

:36:01. > :36:05.strongly in the last few laps than have to sprint and dig deep on the

:36:05. > :36:10.last lap. There are six of them in that front group which is one too

:36:10. > :36:17.many. They still do not have the qualification in the back. Mo Farah

:36:17. > :36:21.is beginning to stretch them a little. Five are beginning to draw

:36:21. > :36:31.away. Dejene Regassa is coming under a bit of pressure. There is

:36:31. > :36:34.

:36:34. > :36:37.1,000m to go. These guys just need to finish in the first five. Galen

:36:37. > :36:40.Rupp and Mo Farah are becoming a more familiar sight in distance

:36:41. > :36:44.running. Mo Farah in the lead with Galen Rupp on his shoulder. Mo

:36:44. > :36:48.Farah looks as though he is really into the race today and really

:36:48. > :36:53.enjoying it, more than he did the Olympic semi-final. That was his

:36:53. > :36:55.first experience of heats and a world championship or the Olympic

:36:55. > :36:59.Games and he founded a bit difficult but I think today looks

:36:59. > :37:03.to me as though it is a bit easier and more comfortable. He is

:37:03. > :37:07.striding out and stretching and looking good. It is a great side

:37:07. > :37:10.for British distance runners and British distance running fans. The

:37:10. > :37:16.double Olympic champion is striding out on the back straight. There are

:37:17. > :37:21.just over 600 metres to go. The world champion at 5,000m here is

:37:21. > :37:28.attending to regain his title but you have got to qualify first. He

:37:28. > :37:32.has got some athletes to have beaten him before around. There are

:37:33. > :37:36.still six of them, just one too many, before you can relax. You

:37:36. > :37:40.know where he is going to do from here. He is going to try and

:37:40. > :37:44.control it. When he comes down the finishing straight you have seen it

:37:44. > :37:52.so many times. It is such a pleasure to watch. An athlete that

:37:52. > :37:56.beat him earlier this season is on his these -- on his shoulder. The

:37:57. > :38:02.five, including the young Muktar Edris from Ethiopia, are moving

:38:02. > :38:05.clear. It is now a psychological barrier. Do not give too much away

:38:05. > :38:11.but if you slowdown make it obvious you have slowed down because you do

:38:11. > :38:15.not want them to think you're tired. He has running like a champion and

:38:15. > :38:22.looking at the cloud. He is looking up at the Screen on the back

:38:22. > :38:28.straight. He is not showboating. These five are finally clear. The

:38:28. > :38:34.man from Bahrain tried to hang on but he could not quite do it. You

:38:34. > :38:44.do not need to expend energy here. Bragging rights in the heats really

:38:44. > :38:46.

:38:46. > :38:52.do not matter. Edwin Cheruiyot Soi, is -- Isiah Kiplangat Koech. Muktar

:38:53. > :39:00.Edris, that his youthful exuberance. Mo Farah and Galen Rupp can jog

:39:00. > :39:04.across together. Dejene Regassa will definitely go through. The

:39:04. > :39:10.Moroccan will be close but I think Ben St Lawrence will be too slow.

:39:10. > :39:15.Most, if not all of the fastest losers, will come from that first

:39:15. > :39:25.semi-final so no problems for Mo Farah, easy qualification. Well,

:39:25. > :39:29.five of them career. No did enough to let everybody know that he was

:39:29. > :39:35.in complete control and they knew it wasn't easy one for him. He

:39:35. > :39:41.looked around and had a smile and a chat and told them he was not

:39:41. > :39:46.bothered. Muktar Edris, the world junior champion won their heat.

:39:46. > :39:52.Edwin Cheruiyot Soi was there in second place. Isiah Kiplangat Koech

:39:52. > :39:58.came in third. Mo Farah looked as though he was out for a training

:39:58. > :40:02.run but 13.20 is not bad for a training run. You have not had much

:40:02. > :40:05.time to say the of victory but job accomplished this morning. It is a

:40:05. > :40:08.race where every step you don't want to take, you just want to get

:40:08. > :40:12.the job done. Yes, you just have to the job done. Yes, you just have to

:40:12. > :40:17.get the job comfortably without going go crazy. You have to run as

:40:17. > :40:20.a minimum as you can. How is the body feeling? It feels good, thanks

:40:20. > :40:24.to Neil Black and the rest of the team who are looking after me

:40:24. > :40:30.really well. It is recovering well. What is the process between now and

:40:30. > :40:34.the final? Ice bath and rest as much as I can and get ready for the

:40:34. > :40:41.final. How much are they help having Galen Rupp with you? Does it

:40:41. > :40:46.put you in a convent gut -- does it put you in a convoy -- a comfort

:40:46. > :40:50.zone? We do everything together. Our coach told us to run as easy as

:40:50. > :40:54.possible and comfortable as we can. What would it mean to you to be a

:40:54. > :40:58.double champion at the Olympics and the world at both distances?

:40:58. > :41:01.would mean a lot to me and my family and all of the people in

:41:01. > :41:09.work helped me. I want to do the best I can for my country and make

:41:09. > :41:13.everyone proud. You always do. Very everyone proud. You always do. Very

:41:13. > :41:17.best for the final. Thank you. We can tidy that up. There are the

:41:17. > :41:25.five qualifiers. I can tell you that Dejene Regassa will go through

:41:25. > :41:27.as a fastest loser and there are four others from the first semi-

:41:27. > :41:34.final. It has been a poor second day of

:41:35. > :41:39.four Sharon Day in the heptathlon long jump. Only 5.66 so far. She is

:41:39. > :41:47.a six-metre jumper and she could do with something in excess of that to

:41:47. > :41:51.maintain her pressure on the rest and try and stay in a medal

:41:51. > :41:54.position. That is certainly less than six metres but it could be an

:41:54. > :41:58.improvement. Katarina Johnson- Thompson is prowling around in the

:41:58. > :42:04.background as well as Dafne Schippers, the Dutch athlete who

:42:05. > :42:12.has jumped 6.35. Katerina, the second-longest of the morning so

:42:12. > :42:19.fire -- so far at 6.56. She will probably move up a place overall.

:42:19. > :42:27.Sharon Day's best jump is a poor one and she is down in sick.

:42:27. > :42:37.Back out on the walking course now. The Afellay there in the foreground

:42:37. > :42:44.is over a lap behind the overall leader. -- of the athlete and there

:42:44. > :42:52.in the foreground. We are just having a look at the

:42:52. > :42:59.battle for third place. And little caption there is showing the

:42:59. > :43:09.afflicts are out in the Leeds so it is gold and silver for the host

:43:09. > :43:11.

:43:11. > :43:19.nation, at Russia, and that is the leader, Elena Lashmanova. For a

:43:19. > :43:24.while Anisya Kirdyapkina held the line it -- held the lead. I am not

:43:25. > :43:34.sure where the 18-year-old Czech athlete is at the moment. Elena

:43:35. > :43:37.

:43:37. > :43:46.Lashmanova or is well ahead. It will be a massive cheer when they

:43:46. > :43:50.come back into the stadium. They then have about 1 1/4 laps to race.

:43:50. > :43:55.Elena Lashmanova made a brilliant transition from junior to senior

:43:55. > :44:00.level, winning the World Cup of walking last year and then the

:44:00. > :44:10.Olympic Games and then she broke the official world record. I say

:44:10. > :44:11.

:44:11. > :44:13.official because some years ago a Russian walked one-hour and 20

:44:13. > :44:18.minutes and 50 seconds a in a domestic meeting to break the world

:44:18. > :44:28.record but it has never been ratified. Elena Lashmanova, when

:44:28. > :44:34.she won the Olympic Games, one-hour 25.2 on 11th August last year.

:44:34. > :44:44.Those two are well ahead of everybody. This will be Russia's

:44:44. > :44:57.

:44:57. > :45:02.second gold medal of these something to cheer. It is gold and

:45:02. > :45:12.silver at the moment for Russia. could even be a bronze as well, I

:45:12. > :45:13.

:45:13. > :45:19.clean sweep. There is Vera Sokolova, the European bronze

:45:19. > :45:28.medallists -- bronze medallist from a couple of years ago. Back to the

:45:28. > :45:38.men's qualifying for the high jump. He has been jumping very well this

:45:38. > :45:40.

:45:41. > :45:49.morning so far. He drives in. Yes! Good competition so far for Robbie

:45:49. > :45:54.Grabarz. The target will be 2.31 metres. That is what's should make

:45:54. > :46:04.it through to the final. It might not be as high as that. So far, so

:46:04. > :46:04.

:46:04. > :46:10.good for Robbie. So, they are in the stadium. Elena Lashmanova, the

:46:10. > :46:20.Olympic champion, is about to become the world champion. It is a very

:46:20. > :46:20.

:46:21. > :46:24.good time, as well. It is outside of the world record. Elena Lashmanova

:46:24. > :46:28.getting terribly confused. They should really sort this out before

:46:28. > :46:35.the start and make sure the athletes are well briefed. She has got

:46:35. > :46:41.another lap to go. I wonder if Anisya Kirdyapkina has just sniffed

:46:41. > :46:46.a sense that Elena Lashmanova might be slowing. The stadium is not even

:46:46. > :46:50.a third full, but they are cheering like crazy for these two Russian to

:46:50. > :47:00.have taken the field apart. Just looking for the third athletes, Vera

:47:00. > :47:10.

:47:10. > :47:20.Sokolova. She is being chased very hard indeed by Hong Liu. Well, there

:47:20. > :47:21.

:47:21. > :47:26.is a bit of controversy! Vera Sokolova has been disqualified!

:47:26. > :47:33.Still, Elena Lashmanova does not know what is going on. This

:47:33. > :47:39.finished, I have to say is chaotic. Elena Lashmanova is still in the

:47:39. > :47:46.lead, but Anisya Kirdyapkina is gaining all the time. Vera Sokolova

:47:46. > :47:53.is walking disconsolately down the home straight. Elena Lashmanova has

:47:53. > :47:59.Anisya Kirdyapkina right on her heels. This could be one of the

:47:59. > :48:09.closest finishes and world champion walking history. Elena Lashmanova

:48:09. > :48:10.

:48:10. > :48:14.becomes the world champion! Anisya Kirdyapkina get the silver medal.

:48:14. > :48:21.That is outside of the championship record. Elena Lashmanova saying

:48:22. > :48:31.there, what on earth went on at the finish? She is walking over to Vera

:48:32. > :48:34.

:48:34. > :48:44.Sokolova, he was disqualified within sniffing distance of a medal. There

:48:44. > :48:44.

:48:44. > :48:52.is Hong Liu, her success of medal in world championships. Silver medal

:48:52. > :49:00.last time, bronze medal this time. Gold and silver to our hosts here.

:49:00. > :49:09.Here comes the bronze medallist, Hong Liu. Hong Liu of China wins the

:49:09. > :49:16.bronze in the 20km walk. The last couple of minutes have been chaotic,

:49:16. > :49:23.to say the least. The two leading walkers, I think Anisya Kirdyapkina

:49:23. > :49:29.knew exactly what had to be done, but the eventual winner, Elena

:49:29. > :49:31.Lashmanova, when she was supposed to finished, she didn't know. She

:49:31. > :49:41.thought she had finished when she crossed the finishing line the first

:49:41. > :49:43.

:49:43. > :49:49.time. Anisya Kirdyapkina almost caught her.

:49:49. > :49:57.Back to the high jump. How did you concentrate when the crowd are going

:49:57. > :50:06.nuts for a home victory in the 20km walk? It is a first-time clearance

:50:06. > :50:11.for Robbie Grabarz! He is showing very good form here. This is some of

:50:11. > :50:18.the best jumps I have seen from the British number one this year. He is

:50:18. > :50:22.looking confidence. Anisya Kirdyapkina, on the left-hand side,

:50:22. > :50:28.Elena Lashmanova, the Olympic champion and now the world champion,

:50:28. > :50:33.just 21 years old. Anisya Kirdyapkina is only 23. This was a

:50:33. > :50:39.sport, once upon a time, that the altered you got the more experienced

:50:39. > :50:49.you got and the stronger you got. It is the youngsters who are dominating

:50:49. > :50:51.

:50:51. > :50:56.proceedings at the moment. Mutaz Essa Barshim. No! When we see his

:50:56. > :51:03.record so far, it has been pretty good. This is a guy who has cleared

:51:03. > :51:13.2.40 metres, remember. He did that this year. That is a little chink in

:51:13. > :51:13.

:51:13. > :51:18.his armour. Trying to see up on the giant screen a replay of that. Jesse

:51:18. > :51:27.Williams was living dangerously at 2.2 to metres. He has to clear 2.26

:51:27. > :51:32.to stay in. No way! Jesse Williams I think is have problems all year. He

:51:32. > :51:36.was the defending world high jump champion. That will be a big

:51:36. > :51:41.disappointment for him. He wasn't in good form when he came to Birmingham

:51:41. > :51:48.when he finished in eighth place. He was way off the pace on that

:51:48. > :51:53.occasion, as he is here. His most successful clearance will be 2.2 to

:51:53. > :51:58.metres, and that will not be enough to get into the final to his title.

:51:58. > :52:08.So, a little bit of glory for the host nation. Elena Lashmanova wins

:52:08. > :52:12.

:52:12. > :52:18.organisers there. Robbie Grabarz is looking like he will make it through

:52:18. > :52:27.to the final comfortable in. As did Mo Farah in the 5,000m. We will talk

:52:27. > :52:32.to Steve and Brandon. What we learn in these heats, guys? We learn that

:52:32. > :52:40.to training partners can run that fast jogging round, talking to each

:52:40. > :52:47.other. You need to make sure you don't fall over, don't get hurt, but

:52:47. > :52:52.just get through. It was great, Steve? Hit in the Olympics he looked

:52:52. > :52:56.really tired when he came through the first round of the 5,000m. He

:52:56. > :53:06.looks fresh. I think this 5,000 final will be harder than the

:53:06. > :53:06.

:53:07. > :53:11.10,000m. I think there are better athletes in that. Edwin Cheruiyot

:53:11. > :53:17.Soi in particular will be a big threat. Mo Farah will have to be on

:53:17. > :53:22.his game. I think it will be competitive all the way, a last lap

:53:22. > :53:29.effort. There will be people with in the finishing straight. He has the

:53:29. > :53:39.extra mental strength, which is useful. Every time he goes through

:53:39. > :53:39.

:53:40. > :53:46.this, you had a tactic, remember? Surely now people know what he is

:53:47. > :53:49.going to do. The key is, how do you stop him, how do you beating? Edwin

:53:50. > :53:55.Cheruiyot Soi has beaten him a couple of times and spent finishes,

:53:55. > :54:00.so he will think, wrong be probably, but I will just a with him and then

:54:00. > :54:07.kick at the end. Somebody will have to get in front of him and to what

:54:07. > :54:14.Galen Rupp does from Mo Farah. His team-mates might have to put Edwin

:54:14. > :54:18.Cheruiyot Soi in his position. Somewhere they have got to come up

:54:18. > :54:26.with a plan that two of them can execute, in the same way that Mo

:54:26. > :54:33.Farah uses Galen Rupp. He is looking on the big screen that's is on the

:54:33. > :54:37.side of the track, we doesn't do that when he is running the final!

:54:37. > :54:43.He is telling us that everything was easy, really comfortable. Let them

:54:43. > :54:50.all know I am not bothered with a sprint finish. The psychological

:54:50. > :54:56.thing is, the champion is ready to defend his title. Five of qualifying

:54:56. > :55:03.easily. It is not about physical recovery. That will take something

:55:03. > :55:08.out of him, on top of the 10,000m. He will now be into the energy

:55:08. > :55:15.replacement, the mental preparation. The ice bats, the

:55:15. > :55:24.massages, then get your head right. And the hypoxic tents! There is an

:55:24. > :55:30.engineering process that is involved getting back to Moscow. Alberto, the

:55:31. > :55:37.whole team, they no detail. There is nothing they haven't done for Mo

:55:37. > :55:41.Farah. He understands that and you heard him thanking them. Physically

:55:41. > :55:49.they will do everything they can to happen standing on the start line at

:55:49. > :55:59.100%. I'm not sure the Ethiopians and the Kenyans doodads for their

:55:59. > :56:04.athletes. He is a tiny man these days, he is then, but he is carrying

:56:04. > :56:14.that massive bag on his back when he comes on the track. That is what we

:56:14. > :56:15.

:56:15. > :56:18.have to do, find out what is in his bag! We are having a joke about it,

:56:18. > :56:23.but sometimes athletes are superstitious and have all sorts of

:56:23. > :56:29.stuff. Another are at to put teddy bears and instead that in their bag.

:56:29. > :56:34.Maybe a bottle of water, something else. I seriously think he has the

:56:34. > :56:44.ice bath in his bag, seriously! Any superstitions here in the

:56:44. > :56:51.studio? Not me. I'm sure Paul had! I knew it! I did have this same safety

:56:51. > :56:59.pins from when I was 11 to pin my numbers on. Tell me you're joking

:56:59. > :57:04.excavation work I did. That is super organised, to keep the same safety

:57:04. > :57:12.pins. You've still got them? I've still got them! What did you make of

:57:12. > :57:17.Mo Farah? You saw and then -- an indication of the intimidation

:57:17. > :57:21.factor that Mo Farah has over the other athletes. They know when they

:57:21. > :57:25.come out that what they are aiming for is to get the fastest losers

:57:25. > :57:30.parts, so if they have any sense and they know that they will finish in

:57:30. > :57:33.the first five, then they will try to make sure that the pace is below

:57:33. > :57:40.that. You saw Mo Farah just intimidating that field and just

:57:40. > :57:50.controlling it. I think he ran that race for Galen. Not the other way

:57:50. > :57:52.

:57:52. > :57:57.round. I think that Mo has come out fresh. I think he played mind games

:57:57. > :58:07.at the Olympics, telling everybody he was tired. I think you will not

:58:07. > :58:12.

:58:12. > :58:17.do that this time. Galen Rupp looked to me like he was blowing harder

:58:17. > :58:25.than he wanted to be over the last lap. Then it was about the mind

:58:25. > :58:31.games, just chatting, just cruising in. Mo Farah was asked how much it

:58:31. > :58:36.would mean to him, to be a double champion? Will that be a factor in

:58:36. > :58:40.his mind, what he might achieve? think the only thing in his mind is

:58:40. > :58:46.that he knows he is capable of winning it. You can only think about

:58:46. > :58:50.the race right in front of you and you forget about everything else.

:58:50. > :58:57.His goal is very much to win the race, but to win the race, not what

:58:57. > :59:01.it means right now. That comes afterwards. I think I did a little

:59:01. > :59:09.bit, you can almost get ahead of yourself sometimes. You don't want

:59:09. > :59:16.to. But you can. It depends on how confident you are in your ship, your

:59:16. > :59:19.physical well-being. I think Mo is in the shape of his life. He is in

:59:19. > :59:24.fantastic form. He probably can afford to think I can win this

:59:24. > :59:30.race. Can they winner quickly? Don't think it is important to do that

:59:30. > :59:35.here. Thereafter, the titles, the adulation some so much later for an

:59:35. > :59:41.athlete. You can't afford to dwell on that. There is a job to be done.

:59:41. > :59:47.A quick word on how you see that 5,000m race going. I know the

:59:47. > :59:52.Kenyans thought they had a better chance over five them tend to be Mo.

:59:52. > :59:58.Do you think that? I think they probably do have a better chance

:59:58. > :00:02.because Mo has already run the 10,000m. They still have to get it

:00:02. > :00:08.together and run as a team and be committed to doing that. I don't

:00:08. > :00:12.think they have got at. He spoke to the Ethiopians after the 10,000m and

:00:12. > :00:17.they were meant to have a team plan but it just didn't materialise. I'm

:00:17. > :00:21.not sure it will do that now. They seem to be scared of him at the

:00:21. > :00:27.minutes. They let him dictate how he wants the race to be run. Indeed.

:00:27. > :00:33.That final is on Friday, Mo Farah going for the double double. Please

:00:33. > :00:37.keep in touch with us. We will have Michael Johnson coming in later,

:00:37. > :00:41.talking about the Christine Ohuruogu race and asking that she is the best

:00:41. > :00:51.British athlete of all time. It is interesting to look back to the last

:00:51. > :01:23.

:01:23. > :01:30.time we were in Moscow, back in would not support the sending of an

:01:30. > :01:35.American team to Moscow. Thatcher appeals again to the

:01:35. > :01:45.British athletes. Are you hoping to go to Moscow? That is what I am

:01:45. > :01:45.

:01:45. > :02:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:02:33. > :02:43.greatest all-round athlete in the world, Thompson, the Olympic

:02:43. > :02:53.champion! He is clear! The world record has

:02:53. > :02:53.

:02:53. > :03:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:03:59. > :04:04.able to participate. I declare the games of the 22nd Olympiad closed.

:04:04. > :04:09.Some memories there from 1980. We will talk about them shortly.

:04:09. > :04:19.Michael Johnson will be in the studio very soon. Here is a reminder

:04:19. > :04:30.

:04:30. > :04:35.of when he won his medals. Michael marvellous performance by the

:04:35. > :04:41.favourite, Michael Johnson. Johnson Winslet, Reynolds second. What a

:04:41. > :04:46.performance! Johnson storming through. He will be the world

:04:46. > :04:55.champion. It is the second fastest time of all time. Johnson promised

:04:55. > :04:59.it all and delivered. Michael Johnson, yet another gold medal.

:04:59. > :05:03.Johnson storming away to another gold medal. The world record beckons

:05:03. > :05:13.and it has gone! He said he would come here and try and do the one

:05:13. > :05:18.

:05:18. > :05:27.thing he has not been able to do. feature quite a lot in that

:05:27. > :05:31.meeting. Michael, Wellcome. 1993 is awhile ago. It is starting to fade

:05:32. > :05:40.from my memory at that point. That was my first 400m world champion

:05:40. > :05:45.ship. In 1993, many people had said Michael cannot win a 400 world

:05:45. > :05:49.championship because of being a 200m runner. I had been ranked number one

:05:49. > :05:56.in the world for the last couple of years but point button had not won a

:05:56. > :06:00.championship. In 1995 you did the double. I won that one and missed

:06:00. > :06:05.the world record by a 10th of a second which was very disappointing.

:06:05. > :06:08.I was very happy with the victory bit disappointed because I thought

:06:08. > :06:16.that was my opportunity. I was in the best shape of my life at that

:06:16. > :06:20.point. To keep on winning, when you took to the podium, David Coleman

:06:20. > :06:26.said, yet another gold medal. He sounded bored. Did you ever get

:06:26. > :06:36.bored? No! I had goals and I was constantly setting new goals and

:06:36. > :06:38.that is where my motivates from -- my motivation came from. That world

:06:38. > :06:44.championship in 1993 was history making because I was the first

:06:44. > :06:50.person to win a world championship at 200m and 400m. In 1995I could put

:06:50. > :06:55.them both together in the same championship. 97 was just 97. That

:06:55. > :07:05.was a very difficult championship. I came into the championship with an

:07:05. > :07:11.injury. I qualified on time and I am very proud of that one. 1999 was a

:07:11. > :07:17.world record. Tell us about that world record. Beforehand, you

:07:17. > :07:27.thought this is the race, this is the moment? After 1996I really

:07:27. > :07:27.

:07:27. > :07:32.switched my focus to primarily being a 400m runner. I was really

:07:32. > :07:37.considering myself at that point. After breaking the world record and

:07:38. > :07:45.winning the gold-medal in 1996, I switched my focus. My objective was

:07:45. > :07:51.to break that world record before I retired. In 1996, I said I have four

:07:51. > :07:55.used to do it because after 2000 I am done. I did not want to have that

:07:55. > :07:59.pressure going into 2000 which I knew would be my last professional

:07:59. > :08:02.year, and I wanted to win the gold-medal that year and I did not

:08:02. > :08:07.want the pressure of trying to win a gold-medal and break the world

:08:07. > :08:12.record. 1999 was the year that my coach and I really focused on the

:08:12. > :08:17.record. I was in the best shape of my life for the 400 coming into it.

:08:17. > :08:21.I knew it was there. My semifinal was a very good race but I did not

:08:21. > :08:26.want to give it all away in the semifinal because I knew I had the

:08:26. > :08:32.final the next day. But I knew after that semifinal it was down to

:08:32. > :08:36.execution that I could absolutely break the world record. I would have

:08:36. > :08:42.to execute that race to perfection. It was not the perfect race but it

:08:42. > :08:47.was close. How much of a trade-off is it having run all the rounds. How

:08:47. > :08:51.much edge does that take off in the final, as opposed to the adrenaline

:08:51. > :08:56.of being in a major? It depends on how you run the rounds. That is

:08:56. > :09:01.something my coach and I worked on over the years. How do you get to be

:09:01. > :09:05.in the best addition possible for the final? You want to conserve as

:09:05. > :09:11.much as possible in the round. But you also want to use that to be race

:09:11. > :09:15.sharp. We figured out way to do that and we perfected it quite well. That

:09:15. > :09:21.was something I noticed last night with LaShawn Merritt and Kirani

:09:21. > :09:25.James. It is a difficult balance to achieve. How would you conserve as

:09:25. > :09:29.much as possible but make sure you qualify first in your heat and make

:09:29. > :09:33.sure you are working on the things you need to. It is a difficult

:09:33. > :09:39.balance. Both of them seemed to be a bit lost in terms of how they

:09:40. > :09:44.accomplished that. Can I just ask, you are critical about going out to

:09:44. > :09:52.slowly and picking it up in the last 100, is it the case you have to

:09:52. > :09:56.drive out and work that first term? If you do not know what else to do,

:09:56. > :10:02.run the first 200m as if it is the final and then assess where you are

:10:02. > :10:07.and make the decision of what to do from 200 to 300. What you want to be

:10:07. > :10:11.in a position to do is between 300 to 400, the last 100m, you do not

:10:11. > :10:17.want to have to go back and did down. That takes a tremendous amount

:10:17. > :10:22.of energy to dig down and kick it back in. You want to be head so you

:10:22. > :10:26.slow down as much as you need to add you relax coming home over the last

:10:26. > :10:30.100m or 50 metres. The last thing you want to have to do is kick it

:10:30. > :10:36.back in. That takes a tremendous amount of energy and it will take a

:10:36. > :10:38.toll on the following round. Thank you, Michael. The track is done this

:10:38. > :10:45.morning but there is plenty more going on including the winning's

:10:45. > :10:55.kept up long javelin with Paul Dickenson.

:10:55. > :11:19.

:11:19. > :11:24.yesterday, Brianne Theisen Eaton is now in fourth place. Katarina

:11:24. > :11:28.Johnson-Thompson moved up one place after the long jump into fifth. The

:11:28. > :11:33.first athlete we are going to have to look at is Sharon Day. She is

:11:33. > :11:41.down in seventh place now. Quite a strong athlete but technically, very

:11:41. > :11:51.immature. Nevertheless, it has gone well over 40 metres. That is not a

:11:51. > :12:07.

:12:07. > :12:12.bad throw. She has got to attack it. earlier, just five metres 79. That

:12:12. > :12:19.drags her down out of a medal position into seven. But not a bad

:12:19. > :12:29.start. Brianne Theisen Eaton now, Robert Bleek being watched by her

:12:29. > :12:38.

:12:38. > :12:47.husband Ashton Eaton, the world Canadian. She is just 20 points

:12:47. > :12:57.behind Claudia Rath of Germany. The German is not a particularly good

:12:57. > :13:09.

:13:09. > :13:15.javelin thrower. But Theisen-Eaton here goes Bohdan Bondarenko. He gave

:13:15. > :13:17.it a little rattled but sales over. When you are talking about

:13:18. > :13:27.favourites, this guy has to be one of the outright favourites for the

:13:28. > :13:55.

:13:55. > :13:58.high jump title. He has been in Sometimes a little erratic,

:13:58. > :14:08.sometimes absolutely brilliant. He is the Russian indoor

:14:08. > :14:46.

:14:46. > :14:53.record-holder. He had a lifetime off. Aleksandr Shustov is the

:14:53. > :14:58.European champion from 2010. The Russians just keep producing good

:14:58. > :15:05.high jumpers. European team champion in first place couple of years ago

:15:05. > :15:12.as well, so always there or thereabouts in the last few years.

:15:12. > :15:18.Donald Thomas is a former world champion, back in 2007. He turned up

:15:18. > :15:22.in a pair of basketball boots on the world title! He is a much more

:15:22. > :15:28.seasoned campaigner. On his day he is absolutely brilliant. That is a

:15:28. > :15:38.good jump. He goes clear as well. Lots of the best jumpers are

:15:38. > :15:45.likely. 2.29 metres may be enough to get them through to the final.

:15:45. > :15:55.Donald Thomas is safely over on that occasion. The high jump will be a

:15:55. > :16:08.

:16:08. > :16:18.brilliant final, I'm sure. That was his best jump so far! That is his

:16:18. > :16:20.

:16:20. > :16:27.best jump, too! That was a lovely jump. He is an archrival of Robbie

:16:27. > :16:36.Grabarz. They shared a bronze medal last year in London. I think that

:16:36. > :16:39.will be enough to take on through to the final. Here is Robbie Grabarz

:16:39. > :16:49.alongside me after it remembers qualifying morning. You must be

:16:49. > :16:56.

:16:56. > :16:59.for you, why? I can't get up early come as a breakfast at seven o'clock

:16:59. > :17:08.isn't too bad for me. With what you did in London last year, you embrace

:17:08. > :17:15.the big stage. I have been away for a bit. I love coming out here at the

:17:15. > :17:19.championships. How difficult is it to negotiate qualifying? You can

:17:19. > :17:29.relax when you've made the final. Qualification is awful, it is

:17:29. > :17:34.cut-throat. Once you're in the final you can relax. I suppose nothing

:17:34. > :17:38.will ever be as big as the had -- as the home crowd in your own country

:17:38. > :17:44.for the Olympics. How does that equate to this world Championships?

:17:44. > :17:49.At the Olympics I got too excited. It might be easier to contain the

:17:49. > :17:59.excitement, slightly. Enjoy the occasion and real beauty well.

:17:59. > :18:09.

:18:09. > :18:19.are having fun in the sun. We are going to look back to last evening

:18:19. > :18:27.

:18:27. > :18:35.and Britain's second gold medal, horribly will have to strike -- have

:18:35. > :18:42.to try and stay in contact here. Christine a horrible will try to run

:18:42. > :18:48.down and Tim on show. Will it be quick enough? Will she get there?

:18:48. > :18:58.Christine is coming, she might just make it! Did she get it? We are

:18:58. > :19:00.

:19:00. > :19:08.waiting. She is looking, we are looking. She has got it! Another

:19:08. > :19:16.gold medal, Christine a horror guru is the world champion again! I don't

:19:16. > :19:21.feel like I am here. It feels really surreal. I -- I kept believing and

:19:21. > :19:27.trusting that I could do it. have done the team and the nation

:19:27. > :19:37.proud. Go and get your medal. Congratulations, enjoy the moments.

:19:37. > :19:45.

:19:45. > :19:51.difficulty articulating what is in her mind is, but what is in mind is

:19:51. > :19:57.clear when she races. Absolutely. The other thing that is very clear

:19:57. > :20:07.with Christine is how she needs to come in to a championship to perform

:20:07. > :20:12.her best. I expected after she won a first world championship that she

:20:12. > :20:17.would follow that up at the Olympic medal and then dominate. That is not

:20:17. > :20:25.the kind of athlete she is. She is not physically as gifted as some of

:20:25. > :20:29.the others. She knows how to get yourself to the championships and

:20:29. > :20:33.her mindset is always I am going to go into these championships and be

:20:33. > :20:38.the best that I can be and wherever I will finish, I will finish. I

:20:38. > :20:43.think she's that result. Very nicely over the years for us to expect

:20:43. > :20:50.that, as well, rather than having unrealistic expectations. She gives

:20:50. > :20:57.everything she can. That OK might last night. 10m, five metres, three

:20:57. > :21:02.metres from the finish line and she is not giving up. She got a national

:21:02. > :21:10.record and another world championship. She is a phenomenal

:21:10. > :21:15.athlete and is had an incredible career so far to this point.

:21:15. > :21:19.really matters to her, but it isn't the be all and end all. We always

:21:19. > :21:24.talk about being the best athlete you can be because that is the only

:21:24. > :21:28.thing you can control. You need to perform the best you possibly can

:21:28. > :21:32.and that is all you can do. We talk about that, but at the end of the

:21:32. > :21:40.day, we really want to win. I think Christine really does take the

:21:40. > :21:47.approach of, as long as I give my best that is all I can do. Sometimes

:21:47. > :21:51.that is good enough to win. Especially when you are consistent

:21:51. > :21:56.with that. It is her consistency that is covered the championships.

:21:56. > :22:00.At the end of the day, Montsho should've won it. She was looking at

:22:00. > :22:06.the screen and the Christine was coming and give up with the metre to

:22:06. > :22:16.do. Christine, with her consistency, her will and her

:22:16. > :22:18.

:22:18. > :22:22.mindset that she would not give up. Maybe all Christine was doing was

:22:22. > :22:27.right to get a better second place and you could have got, and that got

:22:27. > :22:31.her the winner. I had the challenging a bit on that. Remember

:22:31. > :22:35.how disappointed Christine was at the London last year. I was so

:22:35. > :22:44.surprised that she had been dead disappointed. She believes she could

:22:44. > :22:48.have won it. I think Gooch has taught to expect more from herself,

:22:48. > :22:56.to raise the bar, to believe that she can go into these races

:22:56. > :23:01.regardless of how quick the other athletes run. At the end of the day,

:23:01. > :23:07.Christine has the ability to attack and closed down. These girls should

:23:07. > :23:17.know that by now. Montsho made that mistake. Here is a look at the photo

:23:17. > :23:21.

:23:21. > :23:27.finish to remind us how close it was. 4/1000 of a second. It really

:23:27. > :23:33.doesn't get too much closer than that. Just pick up on your point,

:23:33. > :23:43.Michael, Montsho did give that away. And she will regret that for the

:23:43. > :23:43.

:23:43. > :23:49.rest of her life. The reaction on her face was of disbelief. It was

:23:49. > :23:53.her race. What is so amazing is I have used that big screen before in

:23:53. > :23:59.races to see where everyone else's, that is what you'd use it for. She

:23:59. > :24:04.glanced up at the three times in the home stretch. I don't understand

:24:04. > :24:09.what was going through her mind. Sometimes what will happen is your

:24:09. > :24:13.finishing a race, you see the finish line, but when you see it you're

:24:13. > :24:17.still not bear. That is why cultures always say run through the finish,

:24:17. > :24:23.and I believe she just didn't do that last night. It was an

:24:24. > :24:29.incredible mistake. Paula, you are remind your focus. You must love the

:24:29. > :24:33.way that Christine approach is a race. She is meticulous. Her

:24:33. > :24:37.strength is her strength. She knows she can eat up their minds and get

:24:37. > :24:42.better with each one, whereas some of the other runners just get more

:24:42. > :24:47.tired. She uses that's. The biggest thing that struck me last night

:24:47. > :24:51.wasn't was like I was watching two different races. The speed that

:24:51. > :24:55.Montsho was running out and the speed that Christine was running out

:24:55. > :25:01.in the last 20 metres, such a dramatic difference. We just hope

:25:01. > :25:11.that there was enough distance, and there was, only just. This was the

:25:11. > :25:12.

:25:12. > :25:19.reaction in the studio. What is going on there? Me and the rest of

:25:19. > :25:29.the nation, I can tell you. Can you look Johnson there? Cool as a

:25:29. > :25:30.

:25:30. > :25:34.cucumber. I saw a smile!Really? I am smiling on the inside excavation

:25:34. > :25:41.work I love Christine. We go way back and I'm really happy for her,

:25:41. > :25:48.really happy for her. Quickly talk about her new approach this year.

:25:48. > :25:53.She has gobbled on the circuit more. Her coaches been having bets

:25:53. > :26:01.whether. She wants to run fast, not just when titles. She ran a really

:26:01. > :26:07.good race last night, and even pace. Getting out there on the circuit has

:26:07. > :26:11.helped. I have advocated to her to do that for years. People have

:26:11. > :26:17.always searches just a championship runner, but I've always believed

:26:17. > :26:23.that Christine is capable of running 49.4. The only way you're going to

:26:24. > :26:27.do that is get out and experience it a little bit more in races. You can

:26:27. > :26:37.duplicate races in practice. You have to give out there and take some

:26:37. > :26:41.

:26:41. > :26:46.chances. You learn more races than you ever do in practice. We ask

:26:46. > :26:56.people to get in contact with us to tell us who they think the greatest

:26:56. > :26:58.

:26:58. > :27:02.British female athlete is of all time. Christine is in that frame,

:27:02. > :27:07.isn't she? Absolutely. Consistency is one of the things that I measure

:27:08. > :27:14.greatness by with athletes. Having won an Olympic gold medal and two

:27:14. > :27:18.world Championships and getting the national record last night. That is

:27:18. > :27:27.impressive and she was great consistency. She won a silver medal

:27:27. > :27:31.at the Olympics last year. Over the years she has been very consistent.

:27:31. > :27:37.Definitely Paula, this person says, she is only female world record

:27:37. > :27:44.holder in athletics. Can you be the greatest ever and not hold the world

:27:44. > :27:46.record? Probably not. You could be the greatest ever competitor, but

:27:46. > :27:52.not the greatest ever in that event unless you're the world

:27:52. > :27:56.record-holder. The only problem we have in athletics is that some of

:27:56. > :27:59.the world records are literally out of reach and that has weather is

:27:59. > :28:09.been the debate over the years and whether or not we should just scrap

:28:09. > :28:14.

:28:14. > :28:19.all of the woman's world records. No! On the women's side it makes it

:28:19. > :28:27.a little bit more difficult. As we saw last year with the women's four

:28:27. > :28:36.x 100m, that was broken and it was held for years by the former East

:28:36. > :28:41.Germany. We have to think about Sally Gunnell. She held all the

:28:41. > :28:47.global titles at once. Plus the world record. I would say she is a

:28:47. > :28:53.strong contender. Kelly Holmes, talking about world records, amazing

:28:53. > :29:03.double gold, but in world record. Consistency over the year.

:29:03. > :29:05.

:29:05. > :29:09.Longevity, she won in 1995. Is that the collection of medals as well? We

:29:09. > :29:13.are talking about is there anything about the journey an athlete has to

:29:14. > :29:23.have gone through to get back to being on top again like Kelly

:29:24. > :29:24.

:29:24. > :29:29.Holmes? No!Kelly has done great things as well, there is no doubt

:29:29. > :29:35.about it. I am a big fan of Sally. Christine year in an your right to

:29:35. > :29:39.be there, that is tough to beat. Let's get onto one of the greatest

:29:39. > :29:49.ever female sprinters by. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce went in the 100m last

:29:49. > :30:26.

:30:26. > :30:31.has gone. Shelley and fries of price by an absolute mile! -- Shelly-Ann

:30:31. > :30:41.Fraser-Pryce, she is the best by a long way. Nobody could live with her

:30:41. > :31:00.

:31:00. > :31:03.incredible. What she did out of the blocks, she almost had the race won

:31:03. > :31:12.from 30 metres. She is an incredible performer and she does it time and

:31:13. > :31:17.time again. The start was incredible. Her composure, her form,

:31:17. > :31:24.the turnover, the frequency and cadence on the track is

:31:24. > :31:31.unparalleled. We were talking about this last night. It looked like a

:31:31. > :31:38.much faster race than it was. This started unbelievable. She's starting

:31:38. > :31:39.next to one of the best in the world, Carmelita Jeter. You are

:31:39. > :31:49.watching two athletes who have unbelievably flawless form and

:31:49. > :31:50.

:31:50. > :31:57.technique. There is no wasted motion here. The one thing that Shelly-Ann

:31:57. > :32:02.Fraser-Pryce has over Carmelita Jeter is, the pick-up and

:32:02. > :32:08.acceleration. Her turnover is unbelievable. The only person who

:32:08. > :32:13.could match her type of turnover is Tyson Gay. He has had that turnover

:32:13. > :32:20.that is unbelievable. The ability to cycle better than anybody else. Her

:32:20. > :32:24.legs are moving at a much quicker pace than anybody else. It is a

:32:24. > :32:30.Usain Bolt type acceleration. The race is basically over. There is

:32:30. > :32:34.nothing anybody else can do. She accelerates from the field in the

:32:34. > :32:38.first 30 metres. That is the drive phase of the race. You come out of

:32:38. > :32:43.the blocks and start to accelerate. She is able to separate from the

:32:43. > :32:48.field. One of the things that is most impressive about Shelly-Ann

:32:48. > :32:53.Fraser-Pryce is when I look at her, I see perfect execution of the

:32:53. > :32:58.race, flawless technique. Basically, the perfect sprinter. Ten years ago,

:32:58. > :33:05.I would not have said that this was the perfect sprinter. She is tiny.

:33:05. > :33:09.The same about Usain Bolt. Ten years ago we would not have said it. He is

:33:09. > :33:15.six tall. It is amazing thing we are seeing right now in sprinting and

:33:15. > :33:20.ironic that they are both coming out of Jamaica but redefining what we

:33:20. > :33:24.previously thought was the perfect prototype for sprinting. You can be

:33:24. > :33:30.any shape or size, it does not matter. In terms of her technique,

:33:30. > :33:35.there is that slight craning neck, leaning forward. It is not what you

:33:35. > :33:40.would teach, is it? It is not what you would teach. A lot of it is not

:33:40. > :33:46.what you would teach to be honest! It is what I had to deal with as a

:33:46. > :33:51.sprinter, is there anything wrong with that? She is not straining,

:33:51. > :33:56.there is no wasted motion with that. It is unorthodox but it obviously

:33:56. > :34:02.works. There is nothing you can look at when you see that and say that is

:34:02. > :34:06.limiting her. You have had that, Paula, at the speedy run in a

:34:06. > :34:13.marathon, your head up when around. I guess people say to you, why do

:34:13. > :34:21.you stop that? Re-macro I was told why do you try running in a head

:34:21. > :34:28.brace! My physiologist's reply was you try covering her head, the head

:34:28. > :34:32.would have cost more energy to stop it than to worry about it basically.

:34:32. > :34:36.What did bother me was when I was younger I did lose it in the neck

:34:37. > :34:41.and shoulders as well. The shoulders were tense up and I would be rocking

:34:41. > :34:47.and rolling the whole upper body. That was costly energy and

:34:47. > :34:52.efficiency in the closing stages when I was tired. It is primarily

:34:52. > :35:02.what you do from the waist downwards, isn't it? It is about the

:35:02. > :35:06.

:35:06. > :35:10.strike on the tarmac. I do believe, one of the explanations for the

:35:10. > :35:20.improvement in Mo is the work he has done with Alberto won his core, his

:35:20. > :35:24.

:35:24. > :35:32.stability. If you see him on an upside-down Swiss all, it is totally

:35:32. > :35:41.solid -- Swiss ball. Did he make any adjustment to his stride length, the

:35:41. > :35:46.way he ran at all? Know, and if he goes to the marathon, he has got a

:35:46. > :35:49.long low-paying stride and a lot of runners have a higher cadence and a

:35:49. > :35:54.quicker turnover. If he can get a quicker turnover with the stride he

:35:54. > :36:03.will do better. We will talk about that because Kirani James and

:36:03. > :36:13.LaShawn Merritt run differently. We will head out to the field and catch

:36:13. > :36:20.

:36:20. > :36:26.morning went to Robbie Grabarz, the Olympic bronze medallist. He looked

:36:26. > :36:33.far more confident than I have seen in a long time. Alongside him he has

:36:33. > :36:37.two very good Europeans as well with two Russians and the great Bohdan

:36:37. > :36:47.Bondarenko, the best man in the world in terms of height so far this

:36:47. > :36:54.

:36:54. > :37:00.qualification for the winning's triple jump. Four metres 30 is what

:37:00. > :37:10.is required. This is the European indoor silver medallist. The indoor

:37:10. > :37:16.

:37:16. > :37:20.champion has not done huge amount that looked spot-on. It used to be

:37:20. > :37:27.the case that athletes could not have any contact with their coaches

:37:27. > :37:32.whatsoever. How times have changed. The inquest into the technical

:37:32. > :37:42.aspect of the sports goes on immediately after the jump. He is

:37:42. > :37:42.

:37:42. > :38:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:38:57. > :39:03.is the longest we have seen so far not see her first-round jump but it

:39:03. > :39:08.is not often she goes below 40 metres. She stretches out in the

:39:08. > :39:18.step phase and hangs on for as long as possible in the air for the third

:39:18. > :39:25.

:39:25. > :39:35.phase of the jump. The balance is so for the distance to come up. There

:39:35. > :39:42.

:39:42. > :39:52.it is. She is in first place and champion on two occasions. The

:39:52. > :39:52.

:39:52. > :40:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:40:57. > :41:04.Russians come here so well prepared rhythmical arm movement and then she

:41:05. > :41:11.settles down. That was just over the qualifying line.

:41:11. > :41:21.Here is an athlete who has jumped 15 metres in the past. 15 metre jumps

:41:21. > :41:23.

:41:23. > :41:33.are a real rarity. We have not had a 15 metre jump in the world this

:41:33. > :41:59.

:41:59. > :42:03.the 50 metre line. This is always a major strength for her. It does not

:42:03. > :42:10.matter where she is in the standings, she always comes back

:42:10. > :42:14.strongly in the javelin. 50 metres plus and she will be heading towards

:42:14. > :42:19.850 points plus and she has a real chance of the moving up the

:42:19. > :42:22.leaderboard. There is a separate pool of heptathlon javelin throwers

:42:22. > :42:27.to come including Katarina Johnson-Thompson who is lying in

:42:27. > :42:29.fifth place at the moment, after the first event this morning, the long

:42:29. > :42:38.jump way she produced the second longest jump of the morning's

:42:38. > :42:44.session. That is huge points for the French lady, second place overall.

:42:44. > :42:54.Sharon Day had a shocking shot put earlier on, yesterday, and pretty

:42:54. > :43:17.

:43:17. > :43:27.over 47 metres in the past. That is overall positions until the end of

:43:27. > :43:34.

:43:34. > :43:39.an important event for her as she looks to consolidate her position in

:43:39. > :43:49.the top ten. We have said goodbye to Denise Lewis, she has gone to do an

:43:49. > :43:56.

:43:56. > :44:02.many the athletes with these days, what is it about? It is a stretchy

:44:02. > :44:07.fabric tape and the idea is it lifts the skin of the muscle and

:44:07. > :44:11.stimulates the neural pathways. Some of your muscles shut down very

:44:11. > :44:17.quickly if you get an injury and it helps to almost wake it up and

:44:17. > :44:21.stimulate it. It can also help with drainage and muscle relaxation.

:44:21. > :44:26.if you were recovering from an injury you would use it, not as a

:44:26. > :44:31.general thing? If you are recovering from an injury and it is not tape

:44:31. > :44:36.you can put on yourself, it has to be some day who has taken a course

:44:36. > :44:41.to apply the tape. That is why you see it in different formations. The

:44:41. > :44:49.way you route the tape will determine how you are doing the

:44:49. > :44:56.things that Paula just said. tension you put it on does different

:44:56. > :45:01.things. A 30% tension stretch will do different things to a 60% tension

:45:01. > :45:06.stretch. We have been approached by the company and they made it in all

:45:06. > :45:10.these bright colours so if you think back to 2008, in the Beijing

:45:10. > :45:16.Olympics when you started to see it, they made it in bright colours, you

:45:16. > :45:22.are a little late Jonathan, it got people saying what is this? It has

:45:22. > :45:26.become quite popular and it is very effective. You mentioned Paula's

:45:26. > :45:32.technical description of what went on. She has a less technical

:45:32. > :45:35.description as well, because she said, did you ever tickle your bum?

:45:35. > :45:40.That is the other technique for turning on a switched off muscle.

:45:40. > :45:47.Sometimes a muscle goes to sleep and you have to stimulate yourself.

:45:47. > :45:57.you ever tickle your bum, Michael? Know and I would not tell you if I

:45:57. > :46:12.

:46:12. > :46:22.anything but easy. The greatest sprinter of all time

:46:22. > :46:26.

:46:26. > :46:36.once more in a quest to win gold. Usain Bolt is going to take the

:46:36. > :46:37.

:46:37. > :46:44.gold medal. 9.78. Unbeatable. Unsurpassable. Could you ever doubt

:46:44. > :46:48.come? After the semi-finals, I was not feeling good. My legs Vauxhall

:46:48. > :46:51.so what do know what happened behind you would not be a world

:46:51. > :46:56.records are like a man just to win. There were a lot of Jamaicans and

:46:56. > :47:00.the crowd so it is almost -- it is always beautiful. My parents are in

:47:00. > :47:05.the crowd. They were expecting me to come out and dominate no matter

:47:05. > :47:10.what, even if I am injured they want me to win. How do you stays so

:47:10. > :47:15.relaxed? You put up an umbrella metaphorically as the rain came

:47:15. > :47:20.down. You have to think about what is going on and it is spontaneous

:47:20. > :47:26.so it came up with that. If any sport has a bigger star, then

:47:26. > :47:30.sport has a bigger star, then please show me at. The incomparable

:47:30. > :47:35.Usain Bolt. Was he feeling a bit of pressure? The weight of the sport

:47:35. > :47:38.on his shoulders? I do not think so. I do not think he feels pressure

:47:38. > :47:43.and that is one of the things that makes him so great. Shelly-Ann

:47:43. > :47:48.Fraser-Pryce as well, they are so relaxed at the start line. He

:47:48. > :47:53.really does not feel the pressure. He thrives of the fact that the

:47:53. > :47:56.last couple of years he has come into a championship not at his best

:47:56. > :48:00.and people would start to doubt and I think you really thrives off of

:48:00. > :48:04.that. This was certainly not his best race here. Usually at this

:48:05. > :48:09.point he has already separated from the field but he was confident he

:48:09. > :48:15.would win the race. He knew he was not in world record shape so not

:48:15. > :48:20.the best race for bolts -- Usain Bolt but it is always good to watch

:48:20. > :48:29.him. I have said this time and again, it is amazing to watch them

:48:29. > :48:33.run so fast. This is not flawless technique. It is a very flawed

:48:33. > :48:38.technique with a lot of rocking and rolling and a lot of extra motion

:48:38. > :48:42.and the shoulders and that sort of thing but no one could stay with

:48:42. > :48:46.him. PC Justin Gatlin giving Hibs best and all the other Jamaicans

:48:46. > :48:50.were just giving their best to stay with him. This was a race where it

:48:50. > :48:58.was raining and the conditions were not the best. He complained that

:48:58. > :49:01.about the track and said it did not feel right. He was not the

:49:01. > :49:10.defending world champion because of the false start when Yohan Blake

:49:10. > :49:16.was the champion. You talked about you plan after 1996, what do you

:49:16. > :49:19.see as Usain Bolt's plan. He says he will retire in 2016. He has not

:49:19. > :49:23.really articulated it particularly well, what would you see at his

:49:23. > :49:27.progression through? He might not be as motivated as he has been at

:49:27. > :49:32.the moment. That is something I so -- that is something I expressed

:49:32. > :49:41.concern about up to 2008 and certainly 2009 when he won the

:49:41. > :49:48.World Championship Taliban. He had won everything. -- world

:49:48. > :49:52.championship in 19 -- 2009. He does not get into the best shape at the

:49:52. > :49:56.beginning of the season and it is always like that for a championship

:49:56. > :49:59.that he really gets into shape and focuses on his training. I think he

:49:59. > :50:07.thrives off the doubts that he creates early in the season when he

:50:07. > :50:11.is not in great shape and may be overcoming an injury. He thrives on.

:50:11. > :50:15.I think he just really enjoy is coming at the championships and

:50:15. > :50:20.performing in front of the crowd. We know he is a performer and he

:50:20. > :50:25.loves the crowd and a place to the crowd as a showman. That is really

:50:25. > :50:31.his motivation. Maybe everyone is not motivated the said. I was

:50:31. > :50:33.motivated by doing things that have not ever been done in the sport and

:50:33. > :50:38.once I had one championship, winning it again would not be

:50:38. > :50:42.enough for me but I think it is enough for him. You had a work

:50:42. > :50:46.ethic second to none and you do not sense that Usain Bolt has that same

:50:46. > :50:51.thing. By he is not tried to run a marathon either. He has tried to

:50:51. > :50:55.run fast but it is a different type. It is a very good question, what

:50:55. > :51:00.inspires you to run? Why do you run? It is a key thing we can

:51:00. > :51:04.explore so much, what inspired you? For me, it was that I wanted to see

:51:04. > :51:07.what I could do at how fast I could do and what was the best I could

:51:07. > :51:11.get out of myself which was one of the reasons I front runner a lot of

:51:11. > :51:15.my races because it was not just about winning the race but it was

:51:15. > :51:18.about making sure I gave the best I could and it and went as fast as I

:51:18. > :51:25.could and people at different things and we are you saying I

:51:25. > :51:29.think a lot of it is the whole persona, the acting to the crowd

:51:29. > :51:33.and the plain to the gallery, that is what motivates him as well. He

:51:33. > :51:38.is saying there, he is wondering why he will do on the start-line

:51:38. > :51:42.and what will be his little act, he is thinking about that as well and

:51:42. > :51:45.not just about his rise. We have got a graphic that shows multi-

:51:45. > :51:48.medallist at the World Championships. He figures and it as

:51:48. > :51:54.Championships. He figures and it as does Michael Johnson here. From

:51:54. > :51:58.what you said, Paula, and what you said, Michael, his total is the

:51:58. > :52:05.same as you go with a couple of less gold medals. Do you think he

:52:05. > :52:09.looks at that and even cares? says he does. He has said to me

:52:09. > :52:17.that in order to be considered amongst those people he has got to

:52:17. > :52:24.win time and again but he is a performer. I think you're right, he

:52:24. > :52:29.loved that. He also likes before me as a afloat. -- he likes performing

:52:29. > :52:35.as an athlete. That is what motivates him. He doesn't want to

:52:35. > :52:38.work hard and I don't think he makes any real excuses for that. He

:52:38. > :52:45.does not want to work harder and that is why he does not want to run

:52:45. > :52:49.the 400m. I cannot blame him for that. If he doesn't want to will

:52:49. > :52:52.work that hard, then why work that hard! For me it would be different

:52:52. > :52:57.but I understand the difference between the two of us. I want to

:52:57. > :53:03.run as fast as I ever have done and I wanted all and if I can hold new

:53:03. > :53:07.records, I won back, but that is not who it he is. We see him again

:53:07. > :53:14.not who it he is. We see him again on the screen, or he has some 200m

:53:15. > :53:23.heats coming up. If he gets his head together, how fast can he go?

:53:23. > :53:29.I wonder about that sometimes. We did an analysis on him and we

:53:29. > :53:31.analysed his technique and there is so much wasted motion. That would

:53:32. > :53:36.be the Low Hanging fruit for May, to clean up his technique. That is

:53:36. > :53:40.how he could go faster but I do not know if able to read. You also have

:53:40. > :53:44.to look at the fat that he is getting older and injuries could

:53:44. > :53:48.set them. We see that every year so for him to show up at a

:53:48. > :53:52.championship having been have your season and having run the circuit

:53:52. > :53:56.and getting extremely race sharper, that was not raised shop the other

:53:56. > :54:00.day, for him to go that now is going to be harder and harder over

:54:00. > :54:06.the next three years so we may have seen him run as fast as he will

:54:06. > :54:09.ever run. Do you think he will be in Rio? Absolutely. He does not

:54:09. > :54:14.have to run a lot of races and that is what was fortunate in my career,

:54:14. > :54:18.I did not have to run races to get into a championship and get ready

:54:18. > :54:22.to go. He does not have to do that either so I think the world will

:54:22. > :54:26.see him running fewer and fewer races and get into championships

:54:26. > :54:36.and winning. Let us head back out now to the triple jump

:54:36. > :54:36.

:54:36. > :54:42.spectators here, going through something the organisers are

:54:42. > :54:48.calling danced time. There is a lot of support for the host nation who

:54:48. > :54:57.have already won a gold medal this morning in the women's 20km walk.

:54:58. > :55:03.Now it is a chance for Kimberley Williams in the women's triple jump.

:55:03. > :55:07.14.30 is what is required. She looks as though she may have

:55:07. > :55:17.negotiated the three phases of the triple jump and she got a white

:55:17. > :55:27.

:55:27. > :55:35.flag. That looks as though it will be a qualifier for the final. That

:55:35. > :55:45.is Aston, he is one of our coaches and he was a champion triple-jumper

:55:45. > :55:46.

:55:46. > :55:52.here in Moscow in 1980. This is really athlete was formerly of the

:55:52. > :56:00.Ukraine. I wonder if the Ukrainians there are no origin? That was a

:56:00. > :56:06.good jump. A big cheer for the woman who finished 4th in the

:56:06. > :56:12.London Olympics. She represented the Ukraine on that occasion. She

:56:12. > :56:16.is now with Israel. It really was a tremendous last phase of the jump.

:56:16. > :56:24.It was some way back from the board said there was obviously a lot more

:56:24. > :56:30.to come. 14.58 is her best this year. She -- if she had taken off

:56:30. > :56:35.from the board and sure she would have surpassed up. 14.46 has come

:56:35. > :56:39.up on the display board, certainly good enough to go through to the

:56:39. > :56:45.final. We are certainly going to have a new champion in the women's

:56:45. > :56:53.triple jump here. It could be the same one as last time in Daegu,

:56:53. > :56:59.Olha Saladuha were, she led the runner fires here -- she led the

:56:59. > :57:03.qualifiers here. There are some of the women who went through to the

:57:03. > :57:07.final not having achieved the qualifying standard but the top 12

:57:07. > :57:13.of all of the competitors will go through and the final takes place

:57:13. > :57:19.on Thursday. They are having a lot of fun and no

:57:19. > :57:24.doubt they have been inspired. They are on the camera. The dancing are

:57:24. > :57:30.still going on. We are rated for Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the

:57:30. > :57:34.second pool of the women's heptathlon javelin. There is an

:57:34. > :57:38.attempt to do a Mexican wave but I do not think there is enough of a

:57:38. > :57:43.collective clout to make that work. One of the big things about London

:57:43. > :57:47.One of the big things about London 2012 was the inspiration of sport

:57:47. > :57:56.and the BBC has its own initiative to help you if you have been

:57:56. > :58:01.inspired. Let Athens by a year. Inspire you to get your trainers on

:58:01. > :58:06.and get your heart racing, get inspired. Let us inspire you to

:58:06. > :58:12.prove people wrong and push as hard as you can. And keep coming back

:58:12. > :58:19.for more. We want to inspire all generations. And we mean all

:58:19. > :58:24.generations. We want to inspire you, we want you to get inspired.

:58:24. > :58:30.BBC has teamed up with Blue Peter. There is a special Blue Peter badge

:58:30. > :58:39.and if you are between six years old and 14 years old, you can get

:58:39. > :58:49.someone inspired by a sport and you can get one of these. Go to the

:58:49. > :58:50.

:58:50. > :58:53.CBBC website. What inspired you guys? What inspired me? I think it

:58:53. > :58:57.was just the act of running. Others tried to explain to someone the

:58:57. > :59:01.other day and they are asking if I was running away from some they are

:59:01. > :59:05.trying to get towards somewhere but I just enjoy running. I do not know

:59:05. > :59:13.when it was but I think I just ran and realise that it was what I love

:59:13. > :59:18.to do. I was definitely better the longer I went, I was never a

:59:18. > :59:27.sprinter. No athlete, no event, that perhaps triggered some men.

:59:27. > :59:29.Later on, I had what I call the three big women inspirations, which

:59:29. > :59:34.was to Norwegians and an American that were really the pace setters

:59:34. > :59:36.and the four runners of women's marathon running and they were

:59:36. > :59:40.great women as well the way they live their lives. It was not just

:59:41. > :59:43.about what they did and they achieved in their careers but it

:59:44. > :59:47.was the way they live their lives somewhat they gave Chris Porter

:59:47. > :59:57.Mears 5 so many people in their own countries as well. That is

:59:57. > :59:58.

:59:58. > :00:03.important as well. How bad for you, Michael? Just sport in general.

:00:03. > :00:07.When I was first playing sport, I'd played everything. I participated

:00:07. > :00:11.in every sport and I was fortunate to grow up in a community where you

:00:11. > :00:16.walked outside and sport was happening around you. There were

:00:16. > :00:19.just kids playing sport at in the street. I was always good at it but

:00:19. > :00:24.I got a great feeling from playing sport and I played just about

:00:24. > :00:31.everything and we made up our own sports. Anything with a ball or

:00:31. > :00:33.races down the street. The later -- but later I was inspired by Jesse

:00:33. > :00:38.Owens and we talked about wanting to do things that had never been

:00:38. > :00:42.done before and that is to he was for me and as I got to know about

:00:42. > :00:45.his career and what he meant to be blunt his ability to go out there

:00:45. > :00:51.and do things that had never been done before in the sport, I wanted

:00:51. > :00:56.to be allowed back to that was my inspiration. That touches again on

:00:56. > :01:00.what Paula said, it is bigger than what goes on in the arena, and the

:01:00. > :01:05.performance itself. It is about the carriage of the person.

:01:05. > :01:09.Absolutely, that his who Jesse Owens was, breaking down barriers

:01:09. > :01:13.and he was a tremendous hero in our country and in 1936 we still have

:01:13. > :01:18.major problems in terms of race- relations so when he came back from

:01:18. > :01:25.his 1936 Olympic triumph in Berlin, he was not celebrated immediately

:01:25. > :01:29.but he kept the dignity that was instilled in him and showed that

:01:29. > :01:35.dignity and class right the way through and ultimately turned a lot

:01:35. > :01:38.of people's opinions around in our country. Sebastian Coe has another

:01:38. > :01:43.inspirational man. You cannot come to Moscow and not think about him.

:01:43. > :01:47.He got silver and ran the 100m that redefined his life and on Saturday

:01:47. > :01:51.we saw the first point of when Brendan Foster met him. This is the

:01:51. > :02:01.second part of what we call them all -- we call the Lord of the

:02:01. > :02:29.

:02:29. > :02:33.we will tell our children and have paid your dues. After 1984I was

:02:33. > :02:43.a different person. I knew this would be a big momentous occasion. I

:02:43. > :02:46.just knew. Coming down the steps into Moscow with you, the famous

:02:46. > :02:53.British Airways flight with our dodgy blue suits, it could never be

:02:53. > :03:03.of that order. You went through the 800m and fantastic four answers

:03:03. > :03:04.

:03:04. > :03:10.which are often now overlooked. He is not going to be caught. Coe

:03:10. > :03:14.comes into the silver medal position.

:03:14. > :03:22.In the 1500m we had Steve Ovett, Steve Cram and yourself, three

:03:22. > :03:29.British athletes. Glorious times. glorious period for British

:03:29. > :03:33.Athletics. Coe goes into the lead. It is like high-speed chess. You

:03:33. > :03:37.have to be continuously aware, where is the exit, where is the gap? If

:03:37. > :03:46.they come up on the inside and I am stuck there, how do I get out of

:03:46. > :03:53.that. Steve Cram in the middle of the bunch. I can see the medal going

:03:53. > :03:58.to our boys between Kyle and Cram. No athlete ever reaches perfection

:03:58. > :04:05.but I do not think I ever raced better. I never thought I would see

:04:05. > :04:11.the day when we had three Britons in the first four. Sadly, Steve stepped

:04:11. > :04:15.off the track. The only thing going through my mind was don't let that

:04:15. > :04:20.guy in front. Steve made a big effort there. I have been through

:04:20. > :04:27.the wrong end of Steve. He was one of those athletes that really used

:04:27. > :04:33.to enjoy the long run for home. He just became empowered. You destroy

:04:33. > :04:37.him on the finishing straight. Sebastien Coe comes away to retain

:04:37. > :04:45.the Olympic title. Sebastien Coe, back at his best, is the Olympic

:04:45. > :04:51.champion again. You were Mr angry. I had had a bit

:04:51. > :04:55.of a serving from the press beforehand. Two Olympic gold medals,

:04:55. > :04:59.Olympic records in your collection and there is only one athletic

:04:59. > :05:07.performance left which you have not done, you started off trying to win

:05:07. > :05:13.the 800m in -- and a major title in 78, you tried again in 82, you tried

:05:13. > :05:18.again in 84. I was consistent! I had been the fastest 800 metre runner

:05:18. > :05:23.for the best part of six seasons. I had won a couple of you read the

:05:23. > :05:28.cups but they did not count. I needed a gold medal in a recognised

:05:28. > :05:32.championship. I knew this was my last chance. This race always makes

:05:32. > :05:37.me laugh because I did not even dare to tell my old man I was going to

:05:37. > :05:42.run this. I was going to run it from the back. My mum, who was sitting

:05:42. > :05:52.with my dad in the stands said he was almost having a heart attack

:05:52. > :05:57.

:05:57. > :06:03.when suddenly I drifted off the Moscow again. Cram was in the form

:06:03. > :06:08.of his life. I thought, I am going to follow him today. So you are at

:06:08. > :06:12.the back? There is a moment, I laughed with Steve the other day,

:06:12. > :06:18.when he is looking around trying to figure where I am will stop he was

:06:18. > :06:22.so tall he could not see that I was on his shoulder.

:06:23. > :06:28.A dramatic moment for Sebastien Coe. Can this be his first title?

:06:28. > :06:35.Sebastien Coe wins at last. Coe has done what he has always wanted to

:06:35. > :06:43.That was it, gold medal in the Championships, world records,

:06:43. > :06:48.Olympic titles, and your career is winding down. In 1990, when you

:06:48. > :06:54.finally retired from athletics, you must have looked back with huge

:06:54. > :06:59.satisfaction. You had travelled a really, really exciting journey.

:06:59. > :07:04.Yes, it was a fantastic decade to be involved. I came into the team in

:07:04. > :07:08.77, that was my first indoor Championships. We had come off

:07:08. > :07:17.relatively as appointing... You were the only track medallist in

:07:17. > :07:21.Montreal. -- disappointing. We probably had our worst ever showing

:07:21. > :07:28.then. Suddenly, to be part of the team where you travelled abroad and

:07:28. > :07:34.there was Tessa Sanderson, daily Champion -- Daley Thompson, Steve

:07:34. > :07:38.Ovett and Steve Cram, it was the envy of the world. You then moved

:07:38. > :07:47.into politics as an MP. Did you think, that is my sporting life

:07:47. > :07:52.behind me? I have always enjoyed the atmosphere. I would be watching

:07:52. > :08:02.track and field, that is what I do. I always knew instinctively sport

:08:02. > :08:06.

:08:06. > :08:14.would probably take me back in one journey since he ran here in Moscow

:08:14. > :08:19.in 1980. When did he first come on your radar Michael? My agent worked

:08:19. > :08:26.with him many years before I started. He introduced me to said. I

:08:26. > :08:29.came onto the scene in 1990, the year that Sebastien retired. We

:08:29. > :08:32.developed a friendship over the years and he has become a really

:08:32. > :08:42.good friend of mine over the years. I have to commend this respect for

:08:42. > :08:46.what he has done in the sport. We talk a lot about training and I had

:08:46. > :08:52.a coach who was very similar in terms of his approach with me and

:08:52. > :08:57.how he coached me in the way that Sebastien's dad did with him. We

:08:57. > :09:00.talked about the coach athlete relationship which is an extremely

:09:01. > :09:04.important relationship. For him to be coached by his dad, that is very

:09:05. > :09:09.difficult to be able to separate the two. It was a unique relationship

:09:09. > :09:15.that he had. I had the same kind of relationship with my coach, he was

:09:15. > :09:19.like a second dad to me. With the relationship he had with his dad as

:09:19. > :09:26.coach, he kind of Torok the rule book and did things differently?

:09:26. > :09:31.Yes, Sebastien tells the story of how his early training was getting

:09:31. > :09:37.out of the car to run ahead to open a gate so the car could go through.

:09:37. > :09:41.They definitely worked a lot then on the intervals and the speed but also

:09:41. > :09:44.keeping the endurance in it. There are a lot of stories going around. I

:09:44. > :09:49.went to Loughborough University and Sebastien was there and stories

:09:49. > :09:53.about what he did in the weights and what he did in the circuit sessions.

:09:53. > :09:59.There are a set of steps in Loughborough and when I first went,

:09:59. > :10:02.I was told they were designed to fit into his run say that was the right

:10:02. > :10:07.stride pattern but somebody else said no, that is just how they were

:10:07. > :10:11.built. It is differentiating the legends and stories from the actual

:10:11. > :10:15.truth. Certainly, Peter Coe was a pacesetter but he was not afraid to

:10:15. > :10:22.ask people and see how they did it and incorporate that as well.

:10:22. > :10:28.much did you watch him in 1984 or was American TV just blanket Carl

:10:28. > :10:31.Lewis? It was pretty much just calm the list. I do remember watching him

:10:31. > :10:35.in 1984 and thought he was an incredible athlete. I did not think

:10:35. > :10:42.I would come great friends with him later in life. It was the nominal to

:10:42. > :10:52.watch. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is out on the javelin for her first

:10:52. > :10:58.

:10:58. > :11:08.place overall. She is an incredibly strong 800 metre runner. That is her

:11:08. > :11:38.

:11:38. > :11:48.jump. That is a very good, confident start from Katarina

:11:48. > :12:02.

:12:02. > :12:08.Johnson-Thompson. Surely now, things she's one 32 athletes contesting

:12:08. > :12:17.this heptathlon. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is still in with a

:12:17. > :12:21.chance of making the top six. I think any chance of winning a medal

:12:21. > :12:31.is a bit optimistic. Nevertheless, the youngster from Liverpool has

:12:31. > :12:38.

:12:38. > :12:42.come heated very well here. -- throwers in the other pool,

:12:42. > :12:52.particularly from the French athlete. This is the overall

:12:52. > :13:30.

:13:30. > :13:35.broadcast in the Luzhniki Stadium. Later on we have Perri

:13:35. > :13:40.Shakes-Drayton going in the 400m hurdles and also Eilidh Child and

:13:40. > :13:50.Meghan Beesley who have reached the finals. In the pole vault we have

:13:50. > :13:51.

:13:51. > :13:55.yellow net Isinbayeva, the Queen of pole vault. -- Yelena Isinbayeva.

:13:55. > :14:05.Then later we have recently 's and Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the

:14:05. > :14:28.

:14:28. > :14:32.final. I am sure Michael Johnson's Shakes-Drayton, she has had a great

:14:32. > :14:37.season. She needs to keep focused because it is a very technical

:14:37. > :14:41.event. She has shown this year she has come back faster than ever. She

:14:41. > :14:45.almost had the option of coming here as well but she wanted to go with

:14:45. > :14:53.the hurdles. She is getting better and better but it is keeping it

:14:53. > :14:57.together technically. What have you made of Perri this season? I think

:14:57. > :15:03.mixing the flat, the objective there was to work on speed which will

:15:03. > :15:09.certainly help her. This evening is really pretty open now with

:15:09. > :15:13.Georganne Moline from the US, who was ranked very well, falling down

:15:13. > :15:20.and also Kaliese Spencer, a veteran, one of the best hurdlers in the

:15:21. > :15:27.world being disqualified. So this should really boost Perri's hopes

:15:27. > :15:33.for potentially winning this then. There is Lashinda Demus from the US

:15:33. > :15:38.and she has run very well. Perri has been developing more and more

:15:38. > :15:48.confidence over the years since she first came on the scene. She is very

:15:48. > :16:07.

:16:07. > :16:13.after what happened last year when she won a crystal Palace and then

:16:13. > :16:17.she did not do as well as you. will bounce back from that. Last

:16:18. > :16:22.year might have been a bit early for her but this is a great

:16:22. > :16:28.opportunity. Often what you will see is the year after an Olympic

:16:28. > :16:32.Games, the championship after an Olympic Games as an opportunity for

:16:33. > :16:37.affiliates they came on the scene between 2008 and 2012 who were not

:16:37. > :16:39.quite ready for the Olympics but the Olympic experience was a real

:16:39. > :16:44.springboard for them to go on and springboard for them to go on and

:16:44. > :16:49.do great things. We will talk about the 400m now. We love head-to-heads

:16:49. > :16:53.in the Olympics. We have one go. Yes, Kirani James and Shaun Harrad

:16:53. > :17:03.have dominated over the last six years and you see them here, side

:17:03. > :17:05.

:17:05. > :17:10.by side. -- Le Shauna married. They were both were world champions but

:17:10. > :17:15.they were both very different. You can see merit on the right of the

:17:15. > :17:20.screen, a very sound technique, very strong upper body and also a

:17:20. > :17:27.200m runner so he wins -- brings that speech to the race. Very

:17:27. > :17:31.similar to the type of way that I ran the 400m, a speed based 200m.

:17:31. > :17:35.Kirani James is very young and raw and you see a lot of wasted effort

:17:35. > :17:40.in the shoulders. He is not a sprint best athlete at all. It will

:17:40. > :17:45.be a very good race to watch. also have Dai Greene going in the

:17:45. > :17:50.semi-finals of the hurdles. He is the defending champion. Making the

:17:50. > :17:54.final, given his form, will be the first objective. Absolutely,

:17:54. > :17:57.definitely coming into this championships very lucky to be here.

:17:57. > :18:01.He has had a lot of problems and that is hard physically because it

:18:01. > :18:06.has taken away from his training and his health and vitality but it

:18:06. > :18:10.is also very hard mentally to keep at it when one thing after another

:18:10. > :18:13.goes wrong, you start to feel you are cursed coming to the

:18:13. > :18:20.championships and he has got to start getting over that are run by

:18:20. > :18:24.a lot better than last night to make that final. We are at 3:30pm

:18:24. > :18:29.on BBC Two for all of those finals. Michael, tell us how you think that

:18:29. > :18:33.raises going to go and who will when? I think it will be a very

:18:33. > :18:42.interesting race. It is difficult to say at this point who will win.

:18:42. > :18:45.You would have to get the urge in terms of talent to merit. When I
