Day 2, Part 1

:00:47. > :00:52.Welcome to Sopot in Poland on day two of the World Indoor Athletics

:00:53. > :00:56.Championships. Yesterday, the male sprinters began their quest for

:00:57. > :01:36.gold, this morning it is all about the fastest women in the world.

:01:37. > :01:43.Hello from Sopot, good morning to you. We have a mouthwatering amount

:01:44. > :01:48.of action coming up in the morning session, including the women's 60

:01:49. > :01:54.metres. This is what else is coming up throughout this morning 's

:01:55. > :01:59.session. Andrew Pozzi and Will Sharman are in the men's 60 metres

:02:00. > :02:06.hurdles heats. We have Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, and there is the

:02:07. > :02:10.return of Veronica Campbell-Brown. In the field we have Robbie Grabarz

:02:11. > :02:13.and Tom Parsons in the high jump qualifying. Katarina

:02:14. > :02:17.Johnson-Thompson in long jump qualifying. Then there is the

:02:18. > :02:24.excitement of the 4x4 100 metres relay heats for men and women,

:02:25. > :02:28.Britain has teams in both. Time to bring in our guests for the

:02:29. > :02:33.day, Denise Lewis and Colin Jackson. We have touched on it already, the

:02:34. > :02:37.60 metres will be fantastic. Colin, let me ask me about the men's 60

:02:38. > :02:42.metres hurdles, Will Sharman and Andrew Pozzi going for Britain, what

:02:43. > :02:45.do you reckon about that? I think we could reach the final.

:02:46. > :02:49.Both are in very nice form, they enter a groove and when you get that

:02:50. > :02:53.nice time and with on the hurdles it can make a difference. The Americans

:02:54. > :02:58.and Cubans are not very strong and it will give chances. It will be

:02:59. > :03:02.dominated by Europeans and our boys are certainly some of the best

:03:03. > :03:07.Europeans. Obviously we have Shelly-Ann

:03:08. > :03:09.Fraser-Pryce, Veronica Campbell-Brown is back and Asha

:03:10. > :03:14.Philip. Yes, Asha Philip has had a great

:03:15. > :03:18.indoor season so far. She is confident at the moment. She is not

:03:19. > :03:22.fearing the girls around her, that bodes well. If she can just make

:03:23. > :03:31.sure she starts well, which usually does, she's in a shot.

:03:32. > :03:35.The relic Campbell Brown commit is controversial she is back, there is

:03:36. > :03:39.no controversy around Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, three gold medals in

:03:40. > :03:44.Moscow last year, and Olympic champion, great to have them here. I

:03:45. > :03:47.like to see that Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is enjoying her indoor

:03:48. > :03:51.running, it excites, because it is new territory for.

:03:52. > :03:56.It will be a challenge, interesting one, and she may go to that magical

:03:57. > :04:02.seven seconds mark. She does not have a world indoor title at all.

:04:03. > :04:09.She has won so many things, what does she for? But she will have to

:04:10. > :04:12.negotiate Muriel Rudy from the Ivory Coast who is in great form at the

:04:13. > :04:18.moment. You have some news fresh from the

:04:19. > :04:24.Great Britain team, the 4x4 men and women... The men's team, Conrad

:04:25. > :04:30.Williams, Michael Bingham, Jamie Bowie and Luke Ford. No Nigel

:04:31. > :04:37.Levine, arrested after yesterday. We have Eilidh Child for the women,

:04:38. > :04:44.Shane Cox, and the sisters, Victoria and Christine Ohuruogu. -- Shana

:04:45. > :04:50.Cox. I love Christine's attitude. She is

:04:51. > :04:57.moving her sister into the team very well. It will be interesting to see

:04:58. > :05:00.how they all get on. Absolutely, and Victoria was there

:05:01. > :05:03.in Moscow last year so she has a flavour of what is to come, she

:05:04. > :05:09.knows the girls really well. I am sure she will integrate perfectly.

:05:10. > :05:12.Obviously Eilidh Child is strong in the lead. That is coming up later

:05:13. > :05:17.this morning. Before we move on to today, let us

:05:18. > :05:21.reflect on yesterday. The men's 60 metres, first of all. Dwain Chambers

:05:22. > :05:23.and Richard Kilty - what a performance from the pair of them.

:05:24. > :05:29.Denise. I was delighted. We always have had

:05:30. > :05:33.a great tradition in the 60 metres, Jason Gardiner has been a strong

:05:34. > :05:40.performer for us. But Richard Kilty really rows ice rose to the

:05:41. > :05:47.occasion. He got off really well, -- he really rows to the occasion. He

:05:48. > :05:52.has come here really confident and knows what he has to do. I am

:05:53. > :05:56.pleased he is developing well. All we can ask is for our graphics

:05:57. > :05:59.to produce their best at the championships and Richard has

:06:00. > :06:02.already done that. He has gone and delivered and he is heading the list

:06:03. > :06:09.going into the semifinal, brilliant. Wonderful.

:06:10. > :06:13.Possibly semifinals, and it will be final for those guys later in the

:06:14. > :06:19.day, the same for the women's 60 metres hurdles. Tiffany Porter and

:06:20. > :06:26.Sally Pearson going first, but we will have a race first to whet our

:06:27. > :06:29.appetite for the final. Tiffany is in good form.

:06:30. > :06:32.She is looking good in this indoor season, but Sally Pearson already

:06:33. > :06:39.setting the world alight. She did not have the best of years

:06:40. > :06:42.by her standards yesterday, but her hurdling was faultless as always.

:06:43. > :06:45.She wins from those first two strides out of the blocks and

:06:46. > :06:49.maintains form on the way. She is brilliant.

:06:50. > :06:54.When you have the start Sally Pearson has and technical ability,

:06:55. > :06:58.that is why she runs so well all the time, consistency.

:06:59. > :07:02.That is the good thing Sally always shows and demonstrates. She enjoys

:07:03. > :07:06.indoors, as well, because she has that explosive start. I think she is

:07:07. > :07:09.good to be the one everyone will try and beat if they want the title

:07:10. > :07:13.later on. Obviously yesterday's successors

:07:14. > :07:17.were tinged with disappointment, Laura Muir perhaps the biggest. She

:07:18. > :07:22.was barged early on, thrown off stride, she was tearful afterwords.

:07:23. > :07:24.But there is not a lot you can do, you cannot legislate for that kind

:07:25. > :07:29.of thing. You cannot. This is senior

:07:30. > :07:36.internationals, you have to be tough. Just unfortunate, she got

:07:37. > :07:40.barged, she had to work so hard to get back into contention, and it was

:07:41. > :07:44.just too much for her. Bitterly disappointed, but, as Colin told her

:07:45. > :07:54.yesterday, you do not become a bad athlete overnight. She will learn

:07:55. > :07:58.from this and move on. That was nice to see. Andrew Osagie

:07:59. > :08:02.went under 1.46, we are excited to see what he can do, and he is always

:08:03. > :08:06.full of confidence, and he will enjoy running later on, as well.

:08:07. > :08:11.Good championships so far. Thank you for now.

:08:12. > :08:16.From our great multi-event runner dear, two Americans, Ashton Eaton,

:08:17. > :08:21.the world record-holder out of doors can indoors, all champion at the

:08:22. > :08:25.decathlon and wobbled champion indoors and out. How has he been

:08:26. > :08:31.doing in the first four events of the heptathlon?

:08:32. > :08:39.This will give us a very good idea as to how well this team is going.

:08:40. > :08:46.Ashton Eaton gets away along with Damian Warner on the far side, but

:08:47. > :08:55.Ashton Eaton is flying. 6.66. Just 100th down on his lifetime death --

:08:56. > :09:00.best. He has to produce something here, he

:09:01. > :09:08.has a lot of acceleration, but... That is much better. 7.884 Ashton

:09:09. > :09:10.Eaton. -- 7.8 eight, four Ashton Eaton.

:09:11. > :09:22.This is Andre Kravchenko. It is good, it is just up towards

:09:23. > :09:28.15.5 metres, thereabouts. 15.42, a massive lifetime best. I wonder if

:09:29. > :09:37.we will see the shot put go over 15 metres -- 50 metres for the first

:09:38. > :09:42.time. -- 15 metres. 14.88, that is very good.

:09:43. > :09:57.Ashton Eaton going for 2.06, and makes it. Andre Kravchenko, sets a

:09:58. > :10:02.Championship best with 2.21. But he is still trailing behind Ashton

:10:03. > :10:08.Eaton, who holds onto the lead with 3653 points after four events.

:10:09. > :10:13.There are three more events today in the cap tough on. We will see the

:10:14. > :10:19.1000 metres concluded later in the day, but the first event of the day

:10:20. > :10:20.is the 60 metres hurdles. We can join Paul again to see how Ashton

:10:21. > :10:30.Eaton fares in this one. They get away first time, Ashton

:10:31. > :10:36.Eaton going well, Damian Warner, as well. Ashton Eaton is absolutely

:10:37. > :10:42.powering away. Ashton Eaton, Damian Warner and Oleksiy Kasyanov.

:10:43. > :11:03.Well, that was exceptional. Just a shade behind, Damian Warner heading

:11:04. > :11:04.the first hurdle, and the second command and the third. Ashton Eaton

:11:05. > :11:21.finishing strongly. Slightly slower than when he ran a

:11:22. > :11:26.world record 7.60, but, nevertheless, it is an excellent

:11:27. > :11:35.performance. 7.64 he has been given. Well done. Ashton Eaton, 7.64

:11:36. > :11:47.seconds, 1074 points. Damian Warner was around about 15 points behind,

:11:48. > :12:01.and Oleksiy Kasyanov, 7.85, 1020. From the men's 60 metres hurdles as

:12:02. > :12:05.part of the heptathlon to the event in its own right. We have two

:12:06. > :12:08.British guys going in this, Will Sharman, we have seen him many

:12:09. > :12:13.times, finished fourth, fifth and fifth -- sixth in the last three out

:12:14. > :12:19.of doors. He does not often compete indoors

:12:20. > :12:21.but he has made the team. What are his prospects?

:12:22. > :12:25.I think one of the reasons he has not done much indoors is because he

:12:26. > :12:28.has struggled with injury in the last few years. He is well suited

:12:29. > :12:32.for indoors committee is quick out of the box and his technique is

:12:33. > :12:39.good. He needs to get into a rhythm of competing and be injury free. He

:12:40. > :12:44.could be one of our best hurdlers, he could shave his time indoors and

:12:45. > :12:51.outdoors without consistency. He has been doing that by increments

:12:52. > :13:00.this year. Hopefully he is improving again after an injury, someone else

:13:01. > :13:04.improving is Andrew. Again, Andrew is a flawless hurdler.

:13:05. > :13:12.Still very young, still getting into the groove, but his opportunity is

:13:13. > :13:18.now. He is in heat four, a very good heat for him. He is in lane one, so

:13:19. > :13:22.he will do really well here, and he needs to just improve.

:13:23. > :13:26.We saw him in Birmingham on his way back on the road from injury,

:13:27. > :13:32.beating David Oliver, the world champion outdoors, a stellar field.

:13:33. > :13:36.Will he find it tough to come back for the final and deliver again?

:13:37. > :13:42.When I spoke to him afterwards he had a glint in his eye thinking, I

:13:43. > :13:47.am getting that again. As Colin has hinted some any times,

:13:48. > :13:50.hurdling is about rhythm and getting that cadence and feel, and you can

:13:51. > :13:54.only get that through competing, and that is what he has been missing. It

:13:55. > :14:00.will be interesting to see how he gets through this heat, and Harry

:14:01. > :14:04.even recovers to compete. He is still so young. When he burst

:14:05. > :14:08.onto the scene a couple of years ago and took fourth place in this event

:14:09. > :14:12.as a real newcomer, he is not fazed by the big stage at all, never has

:14:13. > :14:17.been from day one. No, but we have not seen the best of

:14:18. > :14:22.him. He had a breakthrough in 2012 then picked up a hamstring injury

:14:23. > :14:26.that wait him out. 2013 was a nonstarter for him, so it is

:14:27. > :14:32.starting now. This is the championships that could be the

:14:33. > :14:40.making of Andrew Pozzi. One strong runner, Pascal

:14:41. > :14:46.Martinot-Lagarde, is there today. Now we join Steve Cram.

:14:47. > :14:50.Good morning everyone. Pascal Martinot-Lagarde is perhaps the

:14:51. > :14:54.favourite, we will negotiate through the rounds first of all and see who

:14:55. > :14:59.gets to the final. He is the fastest man in the world this year. There he

:15:00. > :15:05.is, the Frenchman who is having another very good indoors season.

:15:06. > :15:09.Two years ago at these World Championships he was a surprise when

:15:10. > :15:13.he picked up a bronze medal, but not now, he is well-known in terms of

:15:14. > :15:19.his ability. Not only indoors, but outdoors, as well. Former world

:15:20. > :15:26.junior champion. Still just 22 years old. You would imagine lots of

:15:27. > :15:59.improvements still for him to come. Next to him you can see Erik

:16:00. > :16:02.Balnuweit. Firstly we'll go through and for fastest to the semifinals

:16:03. > :16:04.which are tomorrow. Will Sharman is in the third heat, Andrew Pozzi is

:16:05. > :16:11.in the fourth. On the far side, we have ten one

:16:12. > :16:50.from -- Shaker from Iraq. The best of starts for

:16:51. > :17:03.Martinot-Lagarde. And possibly third place for Sherwin

:17:04. > :17:08.Journal of China. Not a great start for the Frenchman. He is a tall

:17:09. > :17:12.athlete. I have seen him start better than that. Paolo Dabo is

:17:13. > :17:20.still on the track. I hope he is not hurt badly, maybe

:17:21. > :17:28.disappointment rather than anything else there. This young Frenchman has

:17:29. > :17:32.been improving over recent years. That was 7.56, which is not bad at

:17:33. > :17:39.all. If he is really going to do something, he is going to stand up

:17:40. > :17:45.out of the blocks are bit. He prepares and self. He has to stride

:17:46. > :17:51.out in longer loping strides. That is the reason he stands up, because

:17:52. > :17:55.he prepares for the hurdle. Watching from here, he is already standing up

:17:56. > :18:01.there, striding and not sprinting into this first barrier. To get huge

:18:02. > :18:05.improvement, he needs to speed up his cadence into that first barrier,

:18:06. > :18:09.and that will set him up much better for the whole set of hurdles, the

:18:10. > :18:13.whole series, which will lie in front of him. A good performance,

:18:14. > :18:20.7.56 is a competent piece of hurdling, even with that start. I am

:18:21. > :18:27.not trying to be too critical, just to say that to get a better time,

:18:28. > :18:32.you really have to get out quickly. Yes, when you are taking on the best

:18:33. > :18:36.Americans, they are fast out of that barrier, and you need to be more

:18:37. > :18:41.aggressive to put yourself in that position over the first hurdle. A

:18:42. > :18:46.bit of drama on the track with the Portuguese athlete, Rasul Dabo. Yes,

:18:47. > :18:52.he hit the hurdle next to him as he was trying to take the first flight

:18:53. > :18:59.and had a very heavy fall. Hopefully he is not badly hurt. While they

:19:00. > :19:04.tend to him, there might be a bit of a delay, and we have the triple jump

:19:05. > :19:11.going on in the field this morning. Yes, this is Marian Oprea, the

:19:12. > :19:18.Olympic silver-medallist back in 2004, and a bronze-medallist in

:19:19. > :19:23.2005. He is the old stage of triple jumping. 31 years old now.

:19:24. > :19:42.He needs 16.90 in order to qualify for the final. The second phase

:19:43. > :19:47.there was not terribly good. Satisfactory take-off, 13

:19:48. > :19:50.centimetres behind the plasticine, which lies in front of the board.

:19:51. > :20:03.16.68, he is in first place. As Rasul Dabo is taken off in a

:20:04. > :20:42.stretcher, hopefully not too badly hurt, these are the full results.

:20:43. > :20:50.Pedro Pablo Pichardo of Cuba. Being Cuban, you will expecting to be

:20:51. > :20:55.good, and indeed years. That looks like it is one of the longest jumps

:20:56. > :21:08.we have seen so far this morning. Just stuttered a little bit before

:21:09. > :21:17.take-off. That is not bad. I would not be surprised if he moved into

:21:18. > :21:18.first place. 16.76. Indeed, he is in first place and quite happy with

:21:19. > :21:26.that. 60-metre hurdles heats are going to

:21:27. > :21:40.continue. I have been watching him in many

:21:41. > :21:43.races in France. He has been spending a lot of time with his

:21:44. > :21:48.competition in preparation, but that will always be difficult if you are

:21:49. > :21:52.just racing with no real goal in mind. When you have no nation to

:21:53. > :21:56.represent, you can imagine how frustrating it is to him when he is

:21:57. > :22:00.so talented, Olympic champion, former world record-holder. You

:22:01. > :22:04.would expect him to have sorted out that situation, but he is still in

:22:05. > :22:08.dispute, and I am not sure we ever see him again wearing any nation's

:22:09. > :22:20.Kulars at any major championships, which is a huge shame. The full

:22:21. > :22:23.line-up for seats to. Martin Mazac at the Czech Republic, Dominic

:22:24. > :22:29.Berger of the United States, Andrew Riley of Jamaica, Jackson Quinonez

:22:30. > :22:36.of Spain, should bank of Russia, Yordan L O'Farrill, and Koen Smet of

:22:37. > :22:58.the Netherlands. Some of the fastest men in this

:22:59. > :23:07.field. There is one of them. Dominic Berger, placed second in the 2006 US

:23:08. > :23:15.Collegiate Championships, represent -- representing the University of

:23:16. > :23:30.Maryland. He is around the 7.55 area. Shubenkov have a low -- has a

:23:31. > :23:38.lifetime best of seven point 49 -- seven .49.

:23:39. > :23:43.Yordan L O'Farrill is the reigning world junior champion, still only 21

:23:44. > :23:55.years old. And Koen Smet, nearest the camera,

:23:56. > :24:06.and we switch back from the starter, he has a best time of 7.67.

:24:07. > :24:23.Yordan L O'Farrill is taking a long time to settle.

:24:24. > :24:31.Jackson Quinonez is still moving about.

:24:32. > :24:40.They get away this time. Andrew Riley is going well, should bank of

:24:41. > :24:49.coming through, and she bank of, Berger and Quinones, sorry, Andrew

:24:50. > :24:56.Riley crossing the line together. That was an uninspired race, I would

:24:57. > :25:00.say. I would agree. Andrei should bank of I would imagine is one of

:25:01. > :25:11.the medal favourites. He's consistent and hurdles well. You can

:25:12. > :25:14.make a couple of mistakes of a man like him. That is an average

:25:15. > :25:19.performance for Shubenkov. He takes some time to get into his groove.

:25:20. > :25:23.That is why it is a bit slow for him. But he is a clean hurdler. Even

:25:24. > :25:28.when he rattles the hurdles, it doesn't faze him at all. He is tall

:25:29. > :25:32.and heavy, so he can plough through them, and you can get away that type

:25:33. > :25:40.of style indoors when you are the size of Sergey Shubenkov. So,

:25:41. > :25:49.Shubenkov, it looks as though he is the winner, but the cameraman is

:25:50. > :25:54.looking at Dominic Berger at the moment. That is probably because

:25:55. > :25:59.Shubenkov has run off down the stairs. Yet to have the time

:26:00. > :26:07.confirmed, although I can tell you dominate Berger, 7.61, sorry,

:26:08. > :26:16.Shubenkov, 7.62, and Andrew Riley, 7.66.

:26:17. > :26:24.Will Sharman's has finished in the top five in recent championships,

:26:25. > :26:31.but this is his first for a into indoors competitions.

:26:32. > :26:36.You thrive on the Championship conditions, the arena and the

:26:37. > :26:40.crowd, so hopefully you will do the same this weekend. I am looking

:26:41. > :26:44.forward to competing. Like you said, it is five hurdles instead of ten,

:26:45. > :26:51.and typically I am known for being a good 110-metre hurdles. The indoor

:26:52. > :26:55.season for me is a way of working on the outdoor season by making sure

:26:56. > :26:59.that the first five hurdles can be even faster, and that is exactly

:27:00. > :27:03.what I am doing. I have had three competitions and I have run three

:27:04. > :27:07.personal bests. It is working and it is improving, and I am really

:27:08. > :27:11.looking forward to using that improvement in the outdoor season

:27:12. > :27:14.over the longer distance. You have a big summer to come with the European

:27:15. > :27:20.Championships and the Commonwealth. Yes, a lot to do. Are you targeting

:27:21. > :27:23.one or the other in the summer? It was my plan to the three major

:27:24. > :27:32.championships this year, the world indoors, the Commonwealth Games and

:27:33. > :27:39.the Europeans. All things going well, I am targeting to be at both

:27:40. > :27:43.of those championships. We will talk about targeting all three major

:27:44. > :27:46.events this year, this being the first of them, the Europeans and the

:27:47. > :27:51.Commonwealth to come. It goes back to what he was saying earlier Tom

:27:52. > :27:55.Heath injury free for once. He has had a good run this year and he is

:27:56. > :28:01.taking every opportunity. Absolutely. He needs to get healthy

:28:02. > :28:05.to race. The event has not moved on terribly since he was at his best,

:28:06. > :28:09.so I think it is important that he does indoors, that he attacks and go

:28:10. > :28:15.into his speed abilities really early, which he is doing by being

:28:16. > :28:18.himself, but then that he progresses and make the transition to the

:28:19. > :28:22.outdoor season, because he knows there is a shot of medals. He won't

:28:23. > :28:27.be far away from the other European athletes. I think he is someone, as

:28:28. > :28:34.much as he wants to do well, he will not be 2-faced if he does not come

:28:35. > :28:44.away -- he will not be too phased if he does not come away with a medal.

:28:45. > :28:47.He has to work on his speed. It is the set-up. You need the sharpness

:28:48. > :28:53.out of the blocks. You need the fluidity and the hurdling really

:28:54. > :28:57.down pat. I think it is important that he is here and I am pleased to

:28:58. > :29:02.see that. He needs to race well, keep focus and let his legs do the

:29:03. > :29:06.talking. He has also talked about him being somebody who liked to play

:29:07. > :29:11.for the crowd, a bit of a showman. That is an understatement! He likes

:29:12. > :29:20.the amphitheatre typesetting we have got here in Sopot. That is going to

:29:21. > :29:24.play to the inner drama in him. I adore him. He is a great character.

:29:25. > :29:28.But sometimes you have to make sure that your performance leads, and I

:29:29. > :29:32.think he has mature the lot. Sometimes injury is a great

:29:33. > :29:35.leveller, because sometimes you are not as great as you think you are,

:29:36. > :29:39.and you have to go back to the drawing board and think about, OK,

:29:40. > :29:43.two years have passed out of my career, I am getting older, I need

:29:44. > :29:48.something to show for it. All athletes want to get the best out of

:29:49. > :29:51.their careers and he knows he has underachieved a little bit so far.

:29:52. > :29:55.But I still think there is so much more to come from him. He's a great

:29:56. > :29:59.character, a good hurdler, and we have got a good crop of athletes who

:30:00. > :30:05.are coming through. Thank you very much.

:30:06. > :30:10.We can hand back now to Steve Cram. Really interesting to see how Will

:30:11. > :30:12.Sharman is going to go here. He is probably not in the easiest heat.

:30:13. > :30:45.Look at the line appear. Will Sharman needs to be on top of

:30:46. > :30:54.his game to get through. There is Shabanov. He was second to Shubenkov

:30:55. > :31:00.in the Russian championships. Not quite as quick as he ran last year.

:31:01. > :31:04.A couple of years ago, he ran his best of 7.52, but he is very close

:31:05. > :31:10.to that. That's 7.56 clocking is quicker than real -- Will Sharman

:31:11. > :31:15.has run. What was interesting for me is that Sharman came here to Sopot

:31:16. > :31:22.and running the Polish championships and win his seat. I think he is

:31:23. > :31:37.taking this seriously. He is the only person I know who came here and

:31:38. > :31:40.had a go at that. He said earlier, I think that Will Sharman knows he can

:31:41. > :31:44.make this final, when you're in pressure in the final with lots of

:31:45. > :31:49.people around you can make a mistake.

:31:50. > :32:01.He just needs to be on his game here, because the man who won the

:32:02. > :32:15.Polish Championship is beside them. Will Sharman just yet himself ready

:32:16. > :32:23.for an important each year. Actually, Andrew Osagie in the UHF

:32:24. > :32:30.-- US championships around 7.56. Dominic Berger, then he was given

:32:31. > :32:36.the nod. He is in seven. The Polish runner closest to us, only three

:32:37. > :32:58.guaranteed to go through. Will Sharman gets a very good start,

:32:59. > :33:05.and what -- Omo Osaghae, the American. Dominik Bochenek joins

:33:06. > :33:10.them, too. Will Sharman, very good indeed. The American as well, just

:33:11. > :33:16.carefully nearly stumbled coming down the ramp. I'd of those four,

:33:17. > :33:19.one of them was going to fade and not run well, thankfully for Will

:33:20. > :33:26.Sharman it was not him. Solid run, excellent performance form and --

:33:27. > :33:33.from him, the year's quickest so far. Will Sharman, all very good.

:33:34. > :33:38.Quickest indeed, Steve, that is a personal best for Will Sharman.

:33:39. > :33:42.He had more problem coming down the ramp, didn't he? Competent piece of

:33:43. > :33:46.hurdling, smooth, silky, that is exactly what he is known for. He has

:33:47. > :33:51.a flawless technique and, certainly, at the back end of the

:33:52. > :33:56.race and that is why he is so strong, because he makes very little

:33:57. > :34:01.mistakes in the back end. He keeps a nice, sensitive rhythm, always

:34:02. > :34:06.switched on and he is applying that indoors now, as well. A good victory

:34:07. > :34:11.for Will Sharman. Just watching him ahead of us,

:34:12. > :34:13.Colin, he has not gone down the stairs because there is a camera

:34:14. > :34:18.there and he has given it a big thumbs up. There he is, why not

:34:19. > :34:24.indeed? That is an excellent performance to start of his

:34:25. > :34:29.campaign. Dominik Bochenek to won the championships, that is the

:34:30. > :34:36.second heat he has won here in this arena, this one of course much more

:34:37. > :34:39.important. Disappointing for the Russian, Konstantin Shabanov comedy

:34:40. > :34:42.hit that hurdle mixed to Will Sharman, I think that put him off

:34:43. > :34:50.because we'll was going so well in his technique. -- Will Sharman was

:34:51. > :34:54.going so well. This is Marian Oprea in the second

:34:55. > :34:57.round. He took the lead early on in the first round. What can he do this

:34:58. > :35:04.time? That looks good.

:35:05. > :35:09.Certainly around 17 metres, which would be perfectly satisfactory and

:35:10. > :35:17.would send them home -- send him home to the athlete four' Hotel. 17

:35:18. > :35:28.metres plus, perhaps. -- send him home to the athletes' hotel.

:35:29. > :35:37.Just, where it -- just coming away to the right-hand side of it. 17.02,

:35:38. > :35:39.he is in the final. Will Sharman, congratulations,

:35:40. > :35:45.tremendous, you're getting faster race by race.

:35:46. > :35:49.Ask it feels really good. Four competitions, four personal-bests.

:35:50. > :35:53.You cannot ask for more. The aim for me is the outdoor season and I am

:35:54. > :35:57.having fun while I am here. I did not think it was going to be a good

:35:58. > :36:02.run because I off the first hurdle and missed my foot strike, so

:36:03. > :36:06.effectively I felt like instead of having four effective steps between

:36:07. > :36:09.the hurdles I only had three, but I thought, come on, flick on the

:36:10. > :36:15.afterburners and leave these guys and I tried to do that. I regained

:36:16. > :36:17.something from the race. It must be great for you to come into this

:36:18. > :36:22.championships without the great pressure on you outdoors.

:36:23. > :36:25.I know this is very much part of the build-up to the outdoors season, you

:36:26. > :36:31.want to improve the first part of your race.

:36:32. > :36:34.Yeah, I mean, you say there is no pressure, all of my supporters and

:36:35. > :36:39.fans and everyone back home, my family, hello! The don't put

:36:40. > :36:44.pressure on me but you often find with athletes pressure comes from

:36:45. > :36:50.within. -- they don't put pressure on me.

:36:51. > :36:53.So, basically you were able to deliver that kind of performance in

:36:54. > :36:57.spate of the inner Demons, if you like?

:36:58. > :37:01.Yes, you know, I listened to a fantastic interview yesterday from

:37:02. > :37:04.Dwain Chambers and he said the stuff that goes on in the control room,

:37:05. > :37:09.that spectators will never know about, my room felt as if it was

:37:10. > :37:15.about 60 Celsius as I was sleeping last night. I was up every three

:37:16. > :37:19.hours thinking I was going to miss the bus to the competition, I am too

:37:20. > :37:23.excited. I did not really sleep, but I came out and managed to salvage

:37:24. > :37:27.something. All in all, those are the things that go on behind the scenes

:37:28. > :37:31.that people don't know about. It is fantastic to see the crowd and the

:37:32. > :37:38.union Jack. Thank you for talking to us, well done.

:37:39. > :37:45.Excellent performance from Will Sharman, he is obviously pumped, he

:37:46. > :37:50.should be. He has done his first job very well indeed. Now it is Andrew

:37:51. > :37:56.Pozzi's kernel, let's hope he makes it through this heat.

:37:57. > :38:00.Andrew Pozzi is in lane one. Kim Fai Iong is in lane two, Philip

:38:01. > :38:06.Nossmy in lane three, constantly dust of Alice in lane four, Garfield

:38:07. > :38:14.Darien in lane five, Gregor Traber in lane six, Balazs Baiji in lane

:38:15. > :38:19.seven and Michael Herreros in lane eight. Andrew Pozzi should be

:38:20. > :38:23.through to the second round, then he is, European junior medallist. Made

:38:24. > :38:27.a massive advancement in the net well before getting a hamstring

:38:28. > :38:37.injury in tooth -- at the other pics. Then he missed 2013 following

:38:38. > :38:41.surgery on his foot. -- at the Olympics. Certainly one of the

:38:42. > :38:42.fancied runners here. Garfield Darien, European silver-medallist,

:38:43. > :39:06.indoors and outdoors. 7.53 four Garfield Darien this

:39:07. > :39:11.season. Gregor Traber, twice the German indoor champion. It is a real

:39:12. > :39:20.test for Andrew Pozzi. He has no one next to him, really. Kim Fai Iong of

:39:21. > :39:22.Macau, the Macau record-holder. 8.44, so he should be well ahead of

:39:23. > :39:48.him by the first hurdle. Away we go, Andrew Pozzi got a very

:39:49. > :39:52.good start, and Garfield Darien is going well, too. Garfield Darien is

:39:53. > :40:03.leading, and Andrew Pozzi in second place. And the Balazs Baji of

:40:04. > :40:09.Hungary, I think, stole third. What do you make of that, Colin? Good,

:40:10. > :40:14.solid performance by both Garfield Darien and Andrew Pozzi.

:40:15. > :40:18.They ran from gun to tape, which is good to see, and I think Andrew

:40:19. > :40:22.Pozzi has just taken that. We will wait for the official result, but as

:40:23. > :40:25.you said it was important that he got out and away from the athlete

:40:26. > :40:30.closest to him so he could just focus on what he was going to do.

:40:31. > :40:33.And he did that extremely well. Sometimes it is difficult to be

:40:34. > :40:37.isolated, also, so it is a double-edged sword sometimes being

:40:38. > :40:41.in lane one. You want to be next to your opponent to see what they are

:40:42. > :40:46.doing, you can just feel them, but Andrew Pozzi does take that victory

:40:47. > :40:51.in a new season's best and personal-best, 7.56.

:40:52. > :41:00.There it is, confirmed equalling his lifetime best performance. He said

:41:01. > :41:05.in 2000 and well before the injuries started that Michael is the set that

:41:06. > :41:12.included not well before his injuries. The Stratford-upon-Avon

:41:13. > :41:14.athlete has done well. -- he set that personal-best before his

:41:15. > :41:32.injuries. He is doing a little bit of an

:41:33. > :41:36.infield interview. I think it is the first time he may have done that,

:41:37. > :41:45.certainly there in Poland. He will drift off downstairs and regroup.

:41:46. > :41:51.Now it is over to the triple jump. Yes, Viktor Kuznietsov looking

:41:52. > :41:56.determined. Here's a little bit shy the qualifying standard in the first

:41:57. > :42:05.round. -- he was a little bit shy. That does not look any better. Just

:42:06. > :42:21.like a bit of speed there. -- just lacked. Well behind the board.

:42:22. > :42:26.However, he will have to put that right. 16.29, it is his best jump so

:42:27. > :42:32.far, he is in seventh place at the moment so he could qualify.

:42:33. > :42:39.Well, Andrew, tremendous start. Assess the race for me.

:42:40. > :42:42.I think I got out really well and I got a good start. I was worried

:42:43. > :42:48.about that because I was in lane one far from the action, but I got a

:42:49. > :42:51.good start. Also, I think I went to high over two or three and I felt

:42:52. > :42:55.the rhythm change, but I picked it up again. The track is really quick,

:42:56. > :42:59.so couple of technical adjustments and hopefully I will taking

:43:00. > :43:06.something of my personal-best. When we spoke in Birmingham, tremendous

:43:07. > :43:10.performance for you on that road back from injury, you said you had

:43:11. > :43:13.more work to put in and you would get better still.

:43:14. > :43:18.Has everything but according to plan up until this point? Not entirely,

:43:19. > :43:23.the stuff I wanted to work on, my start, include -- improved in pride.

:43:24. > :43:29.I had a couple of training days out of my schedule, but it did not

:43:30. > :43:32.affect my schedule too much. After the performance you had at the last

:43:33. > :43:37.World Championships, how much did you take from that now that you rose

:43:38. > :43:40.to the occasion? It means a lot.

:43:41. > :43:45.I have come into these championships a lot quicker than I did in those

:43:46. > :43:49.championships. I think there is a lot more room for improvement, which

:43:50. > :43:50.can only be a good thing. All the best for tomorrow, well done today.

:43:51. > :44:08.Thank you very much. Well, Chris Carter, just prowling

:44:09. > :44:13.around and waiting for his start. It is the third and final round of the

:44:14. > :44:20.triple jump. It looks as though he is going to go through to the final

:44:21. > :44:26.but just wants to make sure. 16.90 is what is required.

:44:27. > :44:37.He is the US collegiate champion. Some way down on what was expected

:44:38. > :44:42.of him. Just coming over a little bit

:44:43. > :44:52.towards the right-hand side, as he looks at it. You have to stay dead

:44:53. > :45:01.between the line, 16.54, he is in fourth place, should be enough.

:45:02. > :45:16.Karol Hoffmann of Poland now, Polish expectations are huge. His father

:45:17. > :45:19.was also a triple jumper and he was the 1983 world champion, the first

:45:20. > :45:22.ever world champion in triple jumping.

:45:23. > :45:43.A little bit of balance -- off balance.

:45:44. > :45:52.We will get some idea as to the sort of distance... 16.37, not very far,

:45:53. > :45:59.but sixth place at the moment. If that can last in until the end of

:46:00. > :46:04.round three it will be good enough to take him to the final.

:46:05. > :46:09.Just reflecting on those 60 metres hurdles heats, Pascal

:46:10. > :46:16.Martinot-Lagarde, there is the result with Andrew Pozzi, Garfield

:46:17. > :46:19.Darien with 7.56. They join Pascal Martinot-Lagarde with exactly the

:46:20. > :46:25.same time in terms of the fastest qualifiers. Will Sharman with a 7.59

:46:26. > :46:30.clocking. In that last heat two of the fastest losers came through as

:46:31. > :46:39.well, Konstantin Steve Lewis -- Konstadinos Douvalidis. Colin, who

:46:40. > :46:45.impressed you most? It is great to see two British athletes there with

:46:46. > :46:49.personal-best equalling. It was a strong performance by our

:46:50. > :46:53.boys, and I am sure they can progress further into the final. For

:46:54. > :46:58.me, Pascal Martinot-Lagarde looked the most in control. He had an

:46:59. > :47:02.average start, jogged to the finish line. He definitely has about a 10th

:47:03. > :47:06.of a second to spare. The real question is, can you deliver that

:47:07. > :47:11.10th under huge pressure? That is where that young man will be tested.

:47:12. > :47:13.Everyone else is delivering consistent performances, that is all

:47:14. > :47:24.you need to do in hurdles. Next on the track will be busied off

:47:25. > :47:27.the women's 60 metres. We have the likes of Murielle Ahoure, Shelly-Ann

:47:28. > :47:31.Fraser-Pryce and the returning Veronica Campbell-Brown in action,

:47:32. > :47:36.and also our own Asha Philip, who set a new personal best of 7.09 at

:47:37. > :47:41.the trials in Sheffield last month, and we have high hopes for her

:47:42. > :47:46.delivering Britain's first medal of the championships, we shall see.

:47:47. > :47:50.Let's hear from her. What is it like for you to be seen

:47:51. > :47:57.as somebody that could be a medal contender? I think it is good,

:47:58. > :48:01.because those British sprinters haven't been out there for a bit,

:48:02. > :48:10.because -- but they are probably thinking, where has she come from?

:48:11. > :48:14.And when you set the personal-best time of 7.09 in the trials, was that

:48:15. > :48:20.something you were expecting of yourself? I surprised myself,

:48:21. > :48:23.because when I ran 7.16 in the semifinals, I was like, OK,

:48:24. > :48:29.something is going to happen today. The fact that I run 7.09 was

:48:30. > :48:36.amazing. I was so proud of myself. I wanted to pat myself on the back! Do

:48:37. > :48:41.you think a medal is within your grasp? I don't know. I don't want to

:48:42. > :48:47.say that I will get one and then be disappointed if I don't. If I'm in

:48:48. > :48:53.the final, anything can happen. Hopefully she could deliver a medal.

:48:54. > :49:05.That is tomorrow. But Asha Philip is injured in this form. -- in

:49:06. > :49:07.tremendous form. She was just behind Murielle Ahoure and Shelly-Ann

:49:08. > :49:12.Fraser-Pryce, so it was good that she was able to be competitive and

:49:13. > :49:15.in contention. She has had a couple of really good performances in the

:49:16. > :49:20.European indoor Championships and the world indoor Championships,

:49:21. > :49:25.where she has made the semifinals, she has got through, but shoe eating

:49:26. > :49:30.needs to step it up now. She is injury free and she needs to make

:49:31. > :49:36.the most of this one. Let's hope she can deliver. She has had so much bad

:49:37. > :49:46.luck. Fingers crossed for her. There is Asha Philip, ready to turn

:49:47. > :49:49.the 7.09 clocking into a medal tomorrow. We have the men's 60

:49:50. > :49:56.metres tonight, the semifinals and final. And we have the 60 metres

:49:57. > :49:59.hurdles as well, where we hope that Tiffany Porter will be giving for a

:50:00. > :50:04.medal as well. Dafne Schippers, relieving multi-events. World

:50:05. > :50:12.heptathlon bronze-medallist last year. She is a very good sprinter,

:50:13. > :50:17.particularly at 200m, but not bad at the 100m. She has run 7.17 at the 60

:50:18. > :50:21.metres indoor this year. The first three to qualify, and in six fastest

:50:22. > :50:35.will go through to tomorrow's semifinals. We have a full line

:50:36. > :50:42.appear, Estefania Sebastian, love like this animal in lane five, Dafne

:50:43. > :50:49.Schippers in lane six, Sheniqua Ferguson in seven. And we have

:50:50. > :51:03.progressed the act of Ukraine closest to the camera.

:51:04. > :51:11.A good start get Asha Philip going well. She has got this one in the

:51:12. > :51:17.bag. Dafne Schippers might just be online, very close, 7.18. Really

:51:18. > :51:22.good beginning for Asha Philip, and particularly good out of the

:51:23. > :51:25.blocks. Dafne Schippers is strong and kept going well. Just about

:51:26. > :51:35.quarter online. It doesn't really matter. First job done. A really

:51:36. > :51:39.good pic about of the blocks there. I don't think Asha Philip take

:51:40. > :51:43.anything for granted any more. She has returned to great form and

:51:44. > :51:45.everything she does is really focused on delivering good

:51:46. > :51:51.performances and playing catch-up. She knows she is one of the best

:51:52. > :51:58.sprinters we have ever had. She is demonstrating that she is ready. She

:51:59. > :52:03.ran a remarkable 7.09. Looking strong and controls here. It is

:52:04. > :52:05.still quite early. I know I say this about the sprinters, we don't

:52:06. > :52:10.particularly enjoy running fast early in the morning, so it is nice

:52:11. > :52:14.to get out there and unwind the legs and get the feel of what the track

:52:15. > :52:19.is about. A good, strong performance, and take the victory is

:52:20. > :52:26.always important. Yes, just buy a couple of thousands. Michelle Carter

:52:27. > :52:38.in the shot put. Michelle Carter should get this shot

:52:39. > :52:45.put out some distance, and that is easy.

:52:46. > :52:58.She is the world junior champion indoor bronze-medallist. That looks

:52:59. > :53:05.very comfortable indeed. She holds the US record now. 18.79, a

:53:06. > :53:15.season's testing the first round, and she goes straight through to the

:53:16. > :53:19.final. Yulia Leantsiuk of Belarus. A good win for Asha Philip in the

:53:20. > :53:29.first heat. She is downstairs with Phil now. This is exactly what you

:53:30. > :53:32.needed. Get this one out of the way, semi-finals and finals tomorrow.

:53:33. > :53:35.Yes, I thought it was good, I am happy with it. Hopefully I will get

:53:36. > :53:42.stronger and more powerful for tomorrow. How nervous I use? You

:53:43. > :53:46.know you have to negotiate this round today and the big day is

:53:47. > :53:51.tomorrow. It is quite difficult, because there are three more

:53:52. > :53:54.rounds, but it is more like taking deep breaths and channelling all

:53:55. > :54:00.your energy into this printing, so hopefully I can do that all

:54:01. > :54:04.tomorrow. I know use -- I know you have said that you feel when you

:54:05. > :54:07.belong in this company. Yes, a couple of years ago when I missed

:54:08. > :54:11.out on the final, I hope I am not going to do that this year, so if I

:54:12. > :54:16.keep doing what I am doing, surely I will be there. We look forward to

:54:17. > :54:28.seeing you tomorrow. Thank you very much. Thank you.

:54:29. > :54:38.Very happy, Asha Philip, and so she should be. Just winging it by a

:54:39. > :54:50.hundredth of a second from Dafne Schippers. Triple jump

:54:51. > :55:00.qualification. 17 -- 17.02, Pedro Pablo Pichardo. That is the furthest

:55:01. > :55:06.distance amongst them. Next up is a very interesting heat which will

:55:07. > :55:08.contain Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the Olympic world champion, going in the

:55:09. > :55:16.60 metres. This should be interesting.

:55:17. > :55:28.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is going to retain her title! What a

:55:29. > :55:29.competitor! She is roaring away. This is amazing from Shelly-Ann

:55:30. > :55:46.Fraser-Pryce. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce for the line

:55:47. > :55:54.am for the title, for double gold. It is gold for Jamaica. She is the

:55:55. > :56:04.best by a long way, a really long way.

:56:05. > :56:17.Various Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, second from the right hand side, and

:56:18. > :56:27.she really is in great shape, we hope. Let's find out. 60 metres. She

:56:28. > :56:34.has been under suspicion of a doping violation for some time, but that

:56:35. > :56:43.has been written off the record books.

:56:44. > :56:52.Tahesia Harrigan-Scott, world indoor bronze-medallist at 60 metres.

:56:53. > :57:15.Various the line-up. -- there is the line-up.

:57:16. > :57:26.A good bit of camera work their! And Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, 7.04 is a

:57:27. > :57:36.lifetime best performance. 7.10 this year.

:57:37. > :58:13.My apologies, it is Fraser Brown who is suspected guilty of a doping

:58:14. > :58:24.offence. We have Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, and

:58:25. > :58:40.Harrigan Scott nearest camera. Twice the Olympic champion at 100m,

:58:41. > :58:49.treble world champion sprint gold-medallist.

:58:50. > :58:56.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce gets away to a blistering start. Tahesia

:58:57. > :59:10.Harrigan-Scott is in second place, and I think Yasmin Kwadwo of Germany

:59:11. > :59:14.is in third. It was very good. When you think that Shelly-Ann

:59:15. > :59:18.Fraser-Pryce is actually turning up to a Championship, you have to think

:59:19. > :59:22.that she will take this seriously indeed. She exploded out of the

:59:23. > :59:27.blocks. Not the best start. I think she is going to use save some of the

:59:28. > :59:32.explosive power that she demonstrates all the time and doors.

:59:33. > :59:35.It is good to see here. It is a rare occasion to see her at a world

:59:36. > :59:40.indoor Championships, and this is a title that she would love to add to

:59:41. > :59:46.the many other sprint titles that she owns in this moment in time. Can

:59:47. > :59:51.she get close to the magical seven second mark? I believe so. If she

:59:52. > :59:56.wants to do it, she can get close to it indeed. It all looked very

:59:57. > :59:58.simple. 7.124 Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, a good performance,

:59:59. > :00:16.but what else is to come? Just mentioning that start, she

:00:17. > :00:24.wasn't really fired up, just playing it safe out of the blocks. I would

:00:25. > :00:29.say that is to save! I say that with a big smile. Just with a normal

:00:30. > :00:35.reaction time, she can get a 10th of a second faster, which instantly

:00:36. > :00:39.takes the performance from 7.12 to 7.02. There are not many athletes in

:00:40. > :00:42.this field you can get close to that. If she can react to the gun a

:00:43. > :00:45.little bit sharper, then she can deliver. There is the situation as

:00:46. > :01:06.far as the heptathlon is concerned. Very little chance of them getting

:01:07. > :01:10.in amongst the medals, they will have to fight it out between

:01:11. > :01:14.themselves for silver and bronze. There is the order in which they

:01:15. > :01:20.will jump in the pole vault. Ashton Eaton goes third. Damian Warner goes

:01:21. > :01:25.third and Oleksiy Kasyanov goes fifth.

:01:26. > :01:46.She is big... Goodness me! That is absolutely enormous.

:01:47. > :01:56.Just makes sure she stays in and launches that shot put well over 20

:01:57. > :02:01.metres, I suspect. 20.11. Nobody is going to be fat. -- going to beat

:02:02. > :02:22.that. There is Ashton Eaton, personal-best

:02:23. > :02:32.5.35 in the pole vault, his poll faulting has improved in the last 12

:02:33. > :02:40.months. -- his pole vaulting. That is Andrei Krauchanka, whose lifetime

:02:41. > :02:42.best goes back some way. I think that is Oleksiy Kasyanov, who is

:02:43. > :02:51.also a very good pole vault. Just waiting for one of the jumpers

:02:52. > :03:23.to go. There is the result of Shelly-Ann

:03:24. > :03:30.Fraser-Pryce's 60 metres heat. 7.12. Tahesia Harrigan-Scott, 7.20, and

:03:31. > :03:36.Yasmin Kwadwo of Germany, 7.27. They will qualify for the second round.

:03:37. > :03:40.Great Britain has another competitor, Sophie Papps is in heat

:03:41. > :03:44.six and she may have an eye on the fastest loser spot, hoping to get

:03:45. > :03:48.through around 7.31, 32 at the moment. The top three qualified for

:03:49. > :04:21.the semifinals by rights. Verena Sailer of Germany, equalled

:04:22. > :04:28.her personal-best that she set last year, she has been in excellent form

:04:29. > :04:32.and is unbeaten this year in doors. She had another good win in Berlin

:04:33. > :04:44.at that big indoor meet just recently. US-based Michelle-Lee

:04:45. > :04:50.Ahye, just 21 years old, hasn't perhaps quite reached the heights

:04:51. > :05:00.many thought she would a few years ago. Good performances in her youth

:05:01. > :05:05.and junior days. She did run 11.06 last year. When you get that close

:05:06. > :05:11.to 11 seconds, real-world class sprinting for women under 11

:05:12. > :05:17.seconds, not too far away from that. Sub 23 for 200, as well. She has run

:05:18. > :05:22.a personal-best this year in Houston. She is closest to the

:05:23. > :05:25.camera, Verena Sailer in lane three. Laverne Jones-Ferrette on the far

:05:26. > :05:44.side, the veteran from the US Virgin Islands.

:05:45. > :05:55.Held a long time. That is just a bit too long. Yes. I could hear a child

:05:56. > :05:59.coughing and all sorts of things going on. If I can hear that no

:06:00. > :06:04.doubt the athletes can come as well. I am not sure what he was waiting

:06:05. > :06:09.for, you cannot wait for the crowd quiet. No, exactly right. Nobody

:06:10. > :06:12.went to one any of the athletes to seek a cure hand behind the line,

:06:13. > :06:15.etc. I think slightly unfair and very

:06:16. > :06:21.unsettling for the sprinters. They do not enjoy that type of

:06:22. > :06:23.interruption. It is back to the drawing board for these women, they

:06:24. > :06:33.will refocus and regroup. At least they asked them to stand

:06:34. > :06:37.up. It would have been unfair had they asked them to go into set and

:06:38. > :06:39.away at that point. It should be a green card for everybody, and indeed

:06:40. > :06:47.it is. Once again, Laverne Jones-Ferrette

:06:48. > :06:53.on the right-hand side as you look in lane one. Tiffany Tshilumba of

:06:54. > :07:01.Luxembourg, 17-year-old come is in lane two. Verena Sailer in three,

:07:02. > :07:05.Carina Horn in four, Joanne Pricilla Loutoy in five. Rachel Fitz, they

:07:06. > :07:10.must come in the red. Maria Gatou, of Greece, another one who has had a

:07:11. > :07:12.good indoor season, set a new personal best, and then Michelle-Lee

:07:13. > :07:25.Ahye, closest to the camera. We have not had a false start yet at

:07:26. > :07:26.the World Indoor Championships, and you know what may happen now that I

:07:27. > :07:48.have said that. Cleanly away, Michelle-Lee Ahye gets

:07:49. > :07:52.a good start, Verena Sailer going well, Laverne Jones-Ferrette on the

:07:53. > :07:56.far side. Very close for third, it may have just been Carina Horn of

:07:57. > :08:05.South Africa who nipped in there. 7.14. The German showing the

:08:06. > :08:08.consistency of the season. I said she is unbeaten, she was pretty good

:08:09. > :08:12.out of the blocks and maintained well through. I think Carina Horn

:08:13. > :08:21.may have sneaked in there for the first -- third spot. I am still

:08:22. > :08:24.looking on the screen to see who has snuck third place.

:08:25. > :08:29.Let's concentrate on the winner, Verena Sailer from Germany,

:08:30. > :08:32.explosive out of the box. Back in 2010 in Barcelona she took the

:08:33. > :08:39.European outdoor title and surprised us all. She won that race by having

:08:40. > :08:44.a quick start and she hung on in there to take that title. She dries

:08:45. > :08:47.very low, stays low for about the first 15 metres before she goes into

:08:48. > :08:53.that running transition phase, where you can pull up the Chinese and

:08:54. > :08:58.settle into a nice cadence, nice bit of turnover. She did that well. She

:08:59. > :09:06.takes that victory in 7.13. Good performance. Who takes third place?

:09:07. > :09:10.I think you are right, Steve, it is the South African, Carina Horn.

:09:11. > :09:15.Those are the first three. Yes, Verena Sailer, very good indeed,

:09:16. > :09:19.equalling her personal-best, 7.13, excellent from her, and the Trinidad

:09:20. > :09:27.and the Beagle athlete, Michelle-Lee Ahye E. Just doing enough to get the

:09:28. > :09:30.other spot. -- Trinidad and to Beagle athlete, Michelle-Lee Ahye.

:09:31. > :09:42.-- Tobago. Just coming to the end of this shot

:09:43. > :09:48.put competition, and that is very good indeed. Almost on a par with

:09:49. > :09:54.what Valerie Adams achieved a few moments ago. Opens up a little bit.

:09:55. > :10:21.But that is absolutely safe as houses. Christina Schwanitz in

:10:22. > :10:26.second place, but she has qualified, so that is good. We still have three

:10:27. > :10:32.Michael Moore heats in the 60 metres to come, the 4x4 100 heats to come,

:10:33. > :10:39.as well. -- the 4x400 heats. Edino Steele of

:10:40. > :10:45.Jamaica was actually disqualified a couple of hours afterwards saw

:10:46. > :10:48.Gordon will be running in the individual event in the final, it

:10:49. > :10:51.will be interesting to see whether he runs in the relay. Britain have

:10:52. > :10:58.two teams hoping to qualify for two events in which we hope to win

:10:59. > :11:08.medals here, the 4x400s. Those heats are later this morning.

:11:09. > :11:13.Certainly the athlete in lane four we will be watching very closely

:11:14. > :11:21.indeed. There she is, Veronica Campbell-Brown. No races since June

:11:22. > :11:26.the 1st 2013 after which it was revealed she had failed a doping

:11:27. > :11:32.test on May the 13th and was provisionally suspended by the IW F.

:11:33. > :11:39.But the court for Aber creation for sport upheld her appeal against the

:11:40. > :11:42.suspension. -- arbitration. She argued that the wider international

:11:43. > :11:47.standards for testing had been violated during the course of a

:11:48. > :11:50.sample collection process and that meant the test was null and void.

:11:51. > :11:59.Effectively, she has not been banned.

:12:00. > :12:12.Marta Jeschke of Poland, Polish indoor champion receiving a huge

:12:13. > :12:14.round of applause. Tianna Bartoletta, the former world long

:12:15. > :12:31.jump champion outdoors. Veronica Campbell-Brown, defending

:12:32. > :12:40.IW F world champion. Shinelle Proctor, high jump champion indoors

:12:41. > :12:42.and out. Ezinne Okparaebo, of Norway, this particular heat is full

:12:43. > :12:54.of stars. Marta Jeschke, Tianna Bartoletta,

:12:55. > :12:59.Veronica Campbell-Brown, Shinelle Proctor, Ezinne Okparaebo, Flings

:13:00. > :13:03.Owusu-Agyapong and Jamile Samuel of the Netherlands newest camera. --

:13:04. > :13:16.nearest the camera. Flings Owusu-Agyapong, 7.23,

:13:17. > :13:23.lifetime best this season. Compare that to Veronica Campbell-Brown at

:13:24. > :13:36.seven seconds dead and she would be some yards back.

:13:37. > :13:46.Veronica Campbell-Brown not away to well. Tianna Bartoletta is going

:13:47. > :13:49.well. Ezinne Okparaebo and Tianna Bartoletta got that, Ezinne

:13:50. > :13:54.Okparaebo in second place. I think Veronica Campbell-Brown may have got

:13:55. > :13:59.a third but she did not have the start, certainly. That was

:14:00. > :14:03.surprising, Colin. I was wondering, Paul, what her racing was going to

:14:04. > :14:05.be like when she has been out for so long.

:14:06. > :14:09.It is important to get into the groove of competition as soon as you

:14:10. > :14:12.can. Of course, returning from the troubles that Veronica

:14:13. > :14:17.Campbell-Brown is ad, racing is going to be lacking. It certainly

:14:18. > :14:22.showed here. -- Veronica Campbell-Brown has had. You still

:14:23. > :14:26.need to get into competition mode to prove to yourself that you are there

:14:27. > :14:31.or thereabouts. When you look at the winning time it is a long way off

:14:32. > :14:38.what would -- Veronica Campbell-Brown could achieve from

:14:39. > :14:41.the heights of seven flat. It was a good performance by the American,

:14:42. > :14:49.nice to see some of the athletes from the US are delivering at the

:14:50. > :14:52.world stage. We know what they do in the USA and something they find it

:14:53. > :14:56.difficult when they come to Europe to reproduce those performances, but

:14:57. > :14:59.certainly you add the World Indoor Championships we have been seen some

:15:00. > :15:12.very good performances indeed. -- certainly -- here at the World

:15:13. > :15:31.Indoor Championships. Just tidying up, again, the fastest

:15:32. > :15:33.loser sports probably need to be quicker than Maria Gatou and Laverne

:15:34. > :15:37.Jones-Ferrette ran, looking at something in the low 7.30s to get

:15:38. > :15:50.through. He and about a letter winning that

:15:51. > :15:54.at 7.13, Ezinne Okparaebo at 7.19 and the first race back for Veronica

:15:55. > :16:01.Campbell-Brown, looking rusty but a season 's best at 7.2 to, let's get

:16:02. > :16:04.her reaction. -- 7.22. Back on the world stage, how was it

:16:05. > :16:09.for you? I am happy to be black, thank God

:16:10. > :16:13.for that. It has been a long time since I have completed, so I am

:16:14. > :16:17.grateful that I advanced to the semifinals. I suppose that is key

:16:18. > :16:20.for you, to get back into action to get that back into your legs in a

:16:21. > :16:24.competitive arena. You could say so.

:16:25. > :16:27.I'm just taking it one run at a time.

:16:28. > :16:33.Is the overrunning emotion sense of relief order like that you were back

:16:34. > :16:36.today? -- a sense of relief order like that

:16:37. > :16:38.you were back today? I was happy to be back.

:16:39. > :16:48.Good to see you back. It is a bit of a talking point about

:16:49. > :16:56.Veronica Campbell-Brown's case, and that overturned a decision for the

:16:57. > :17:00.band the IWF had put in place. She was thankful the IWF had sent the

:17:01. > :17:05.case fairly quickly but she has still been out for a long time.

:17:06. > :17:14.Those processes always take nervous energy out of people, anyway, which

:17:15. > :17:18.as. I am still surprise she has come back so quickly to be honest,

:17:19. > :17:21.Colin. I was wondering whether she would want to miss these

:17:22. > :17:25.championships, to give yourself a chance to calm down and get into the

:17:26. > :17:28.groove of trading for a purpose. That is always the most important

:17:29. > :17:32.thing. She is a Jamaican athlete which means she has the Commonwealth

:17:33. > :17:35.Games to focus on, so she could have come back with something a little

:17:36. > :17:41.more low-key but also much more prepared. Interesting decision, but

:17:42. > :17:45.she is here, and as she said, she is through to the next round.

:17:46. > :17:49.She will have to be a little better than that if she is to improve,

:17:50. > :17:52.because we have seen some good sprinting so far, I was particularly

:17:53. > :17:58.impressed with the American, Tianna Bartoletta, formerly Madison. Let's

:17:59. > :18:08.see how her team-mate here, Lakeisha Lawson in lane five, does. Their

:18:09. > :18:15.trials are held at Albuquerque, which is at altitude, so I am not

:18:16. > :18:21.sure that the times that she has can be equated to hear. It will be

:18:22. > :18:26.interesting to see if she can transfer that sort of performance

:18:27. > :18:31.into this Championships here at the level. There is no doubt we are bang

:18:32. > :18:36.on the level. If you don't have the right, the coast is right there. It

:18:37. > :18:45.will be interesting. There are a lot of women who are all running at

:18:46. > :18:48.about the same time. If she can just be competitive and race herself into

:18:49. > :18:58.this group, you never know what she can produce. This one, we have

:18:59. > :19:06.Gloria Asumnu in lane two on the far side, Patricia Taea from the Cook

:19:07. > :19:12.Islands, Ramona Papaioannou from Cyprus, Lakeisha Lawson, Martina

:19:13. > :19:17.Pretelli, Geronne Black from Trinidad and Tobago in seven, and

:19:18. > :19:24.then nearest to the camera is Ruddy Zang Milama from Gabon. She was the

:19:25. > :19:31.flag bearer at the London Olympics for her country. She has run 7.17

:19:32. > :19:33.this year. She should not be far behind Lawson. She's in lane eight.

:19:34. > :19:59.Lawson is in lane five. It is very close on the all three of

:20:00. > :20:03.them, 7.17, the winning time. No question about who the three

:20:04. > :20:08.qualifiers are. Gloria Asumnu has produced her best run of the season

:20:09. > :20:17.so far. To this point she had only produced 7.25. But the three best

:20:18. > :20:21.athletes on paper going into this come wasn't sure what Gloria Asumnu

:20:22. > :20:25.would bring to this, but a good performance from her and from Ruddy

:20:26. > :20:40.Zang Milama. No upsets there. Good grilling by all these women. They

:20:41. > :20:44.dominated the race. A good performance from Ruddy Zang Milama.

:20:45. > :20:49.7.17 is her season's best. She is not too far away from that. The

:20:50. > :20:52.victory has gone to the Nigerian, but it is all about qualification

:20:53. > :20:59.year and all three women will be happy with their performance.

:21:00. > :21:03.Semifinalist last year outdoors, Gloria Asumnu, with plenty of

:21:04. > :21:09.experience, and that is her best run of the year. She is based in

:21:10. > :21:16.America. Ruddy Zang Milama is happy to go through with Lawson there. All

:21:17. > :21:27.given exactly the same time of 7.19. Sophie Papps is still to come

:21:28. > :21:31.for great open in the final heat. -- for Great Britain. She will have to

:21:32. > :21:41.run 7.35 or quicker to get through as one of the fastest losers.

:21:42. > :21:52.I will correct myself about the four x 400m I was talking about earlier.

:21:53. > :22:01.Trinidad have not got 18, -- a team. They have decided not to

:22:02. > :22:08.enter. No seats at coming up not too long from now. Gong Lijiao from

:22:09. > :22:17.China. That is getting closer and closer to the qualifying line. I

:22:18. > :22:33.think she will qualify with that. Hit it hard. Doesn't quite get

:22:34. > :22:41.beyond... Her lead leg. 18 point 60 -- 18.60. That should be enough.

:22:42. > :22:51.A pretty good crowd in here this morning. It is sold out tonight and

:22:52. > :22:56.for tomorrow's finals day. A few finals tonight as well. 60 metres

:22:57. > :23:08.for men, 60 metres hurdles for women, semifinals and finals in

:23:09. > :23:12.those events. Anita Marton now. Just going through the mental

:23:13. > :23:14.preparation. She is getting in the right frame of mind to start the

:23:15. > :23:32.throw. Rotate, and it sit, and that should

:23:33. > :23:45.be enough to. -- and hits it, and that should be enough as well.

:23:46. > :23:56.You see very few women doing the rotational style, because a lot of

:23:57. > :24:10.them say that the shot is too light. All three women getting 7.19

:24:11. > :24:14.in the seats -- in the fifth heat. One more heat to come with Sophie

:24:15. > :24:27.Papps going for Great Britain. Indeed, Sophie Papps goes in lane

:24:28. > :24:30.eight, right on the outside. She should be fast enough to make it

:24:31. > :25:08.through to the final. There we go. There is Murielle Ahoure, reigning

:25:09. > :25:18.world champion, silver-medallist, 60 metres, 100m and 200m. She had a

:25:19. > :25:31.very good year last year. 10.91 she has done for 100m outdoors.

:25:32. > :25:38.European under 23 gold-medallist after the original winner was

:25:39. > :25:48.disqualified for doping. That was over 200m.

:25:49. > :26:04.Sophie Papps right on the left-hand side of the screen. Windsor, Slough,

:26:05. > :26:15.eating and Hounslow. -- Eton and Hounslow.

:26:16. > :26:31.Sophie Papps, Commonwealth youth champion at 100m in 2011.

:26:32. > :26:42.Coached by Daniel Kawczynski. -- Daniel cousin

:26:43. > :26:49.they get away this time. Wish -- Murielle Ahoure is away well. Sophie

:26:50. > :26:56.Papps is coming through. She gets second place. Murielle Ahoure when

:26:57. > :27:03.it. Sophie Papps in second place. A photograph for third. A good, clean

:27:04. > :27:08.race, and Sophie Papps is through. It was a good run by so few. You can

:27:09. > :27:13.imagine, you are waking your body up, you want to get into the groove

:27:14. > :27:17.and get into racing quite early. She will know all about Murielle Ahoure.

:27:18. > :27:23.It is about all the other opponents and how close she could get to the

:27:24. > :27:29.personal best of hers. If you can run very quickly and close to your

:27:30. > :27:32.personal best, you are guaranteed a qualification. They have raised

:27:33. > :27:39.their game and put themselves in a good position, the men and the

:27:40. > :27:48.women. Sophie did not only just get qualified, she equalled her personal

:27:49. > :27:56.best. 7.2 to four second-place -- seven .22 for second place.

:27:57. > :28:04.We will see her again tomorrow doing battle with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

:28:05. > :28:08.Murielle Ahoure when 7.09, just above her season's best, big

:28:09. > :28:16.congratulations to Sophie Papps, 7.22. She pulls her lifetime best.

:28:17. > :28:24.That is good. It gives you confidence.

:28:25. > :28:46.That concludes the sprint. We still have the four x 400m heats to come.

:28:47. > :29:01.There is every chance that we will get through safely. Those events

:29:02. > :29:05.have been outlined as medal opportunities. Those heat at coming

:29:06. > :29:12.up shortly. The only thing we have to make sure is that they negotiate

:29:13. > :29:18.them safely. A change from the Mexican wave. I don't know quite was

:29:19. > :29:26.going on there. Crowd entertainment in Sopot. Technically, on the far

:29:27. > :29:36.side, believing Gdansk -- they live in Gdansk. Murielle Ahoure qualifies

:29:37. > :29:43.easily. Sophie Papps is in second place. A good result for her.

:29:44. > :29:53.Franciela Krasucki qualified as well, she is from Brazil. And

:29:54. > :29:58.annexed yellow bus in scare -- Anna Kielbasinska, 7.31. Steve Cram is

:29:59. > :30:08.laughing his head off at my pronunciation! Shall I give it a go?

:30:09. > :30:12.Murielle Ahoure, very impressive, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce equally so.

:30:13. > :30:22.Tianna Bartoletta looked excellent. Asha Philip, very good, and joined

:30:23. > :30:28.by Sophie Papps, excellent indeed. On the second page, we can see the

:30:29. > :30:34.fastest losers, including Anna Kielbasinska of Poland, who came in

:30:35. > :30:41.fourth place. Dafne Schippers was pretty good as well. Others to watch

:30:42. > :30:43.out for, Veronica Campbell-Brown, there will be questions about

:30:44. > :30:45.whether she has much more improvement to come there. But she's

:30:46. > :30:56.the defending champion. So, 24 athletes through to

:30:57. > :31:00.tomorrow's semifinals. There will be three semifinals, eight runners in

:31:01. > :31:01.each. There will be the top two fastest losers who make it through

:31:02. > :31:21.to the final tomorrow night. We still have two events on the

:31:22. > :31:25.track, the 4x400 men and women, Britain with teams in the last.

:31:26. > :31:33.Denise, let's die just with what -- digests what we have just seen.

:31:34. > :31:40.Clearly they have more to come for the semis.

:31:41. > :31:44.She had a blistering start which we have come to expect hard to deliver

:31:45. > :31:47.on that front, but it is the consistency of that start that is

:31:48. > :31:52.important. Coming out of the blocks as she did

:31:53. > :31:57.set her up for the race ahead. From that point she just relaxed and let

:31:58. > :32:05.the legs do the work. It was fantastic to see her riding to the

:32:06. > :32:15.Caucasian. -- Caucasian. Carl -- rises to the occasion.

:32:16. > :32:20.She just enjoys running. She comes off the track and has a smile. At

:32:21. > :32:27.times she is disappointed, but she is celebrating what she is

:32:28. > :32:33.achieving, that is great to see. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce never likes

:32:34. > :32:37.to talk in between the rounds, she is one of those athletes, but went

:32:38. > :32:42.comes to the final she will speak to everyone. Less, she has her game

:32:43. > :32:47.face on. -- yes. She is legally behind

:32:48. > :32:53.Murielle Ahoure so she knows she has to raise her game. -- she is

:32:54. > :32:56.slightly behind. But she certainly knows how to sprint and she just has

:32:57. > :33:02.to keep it together and progressed nicely, as she is. We should clarify

:33:03. > :33:10.at this point that she was under suspicion for doping. That is

:33:11. > :33:13.clearly not the case, but Veronica Campbell-Brown has been out of

:33:14. > :33:23.action for a while, we saw her coming back after her doping

:33:24. > :33:27.allegation. She has been taken a diuretic -- she was done for taking

:33:28. > :33:31.a diuretic, not a performance enhancing drug, but that is known to

:33:32. > :33:39.mask performance enhancing drugs. What is your take on it, guys?

:33:40. > :33:43.I will start, if you don't mind. It seems to be a technicality of the

:33:44. > :33:46.testing procedure but my question is, OK, it is still there, it was

:33:47. > :33:52.still present in her you're in sample. Why are you here? I know if

:33:53. > :33:56.I was competing athlete I would not be happy. But she looked rusty and,

:33:57. > :34:02.obviously she has had other things her mind. But as was highlighted in

:34:03. > :34:07.the commentary, why would you choose this commentary as macro competition

:34:08. > :34:11.to be here? I think it has caught everyone a little off-guard. You

:34:12. > :34:18.have just been suspended but are now cleared and now right there. It is

:34:19. > :34:21.strange for me. Can you find that one?

:34:22. > :34:27.It is an interesting approach, perhaps she feels the need to get

:34:28. > :34:29.into her groove again. Athletes are always complex.

:34:30. > :34:36.Speak for yourself! You were one of the worst!

:34:37. > :34:40.Maybe it is spur of the moment and maybe she said, the World Indoor

:34:41. > :34:43.Championships is a good one for me to kick off with, I have been

:34:44. > :34:49.exonerated... She is also defending champion.

:34:50. > :34:53.Also, I think, maybe vindication. She thinks, I have nothing to hide.

:34:54. > :34:58.I am here and this is why I am here, I was born to run.

:34:59. > :35:02.Down in the mix zone she actually came through and walked by, and we

:35:03. > :35:07.were in position next to the polls, she walked by me and then kind of

:35:08. > :35:11.thought about it again and came back.

:35:12. > :35:14.I think she was thinking, I need to face the media show I have nothing

:35:15. > :35:18.to hide. She went down the line edited all those interviews.

:35:19. > :35:23.It is an unusual decision for Veronica. You know her very well in

:35:24. > :35:28.the mix zone, she is not all the time happy to stop, usually it is

:35:29. > :35:32.one word answers. Now she said she feels she has to because of out

:35:33. > :35:37.there and that she has nothing to hide. A very brave to do that --

:35:38. > :35:40.decision to do that because one wrong question at the wrong time can

:35:41. > :35:44.mess your mind up and switch your focus. It can pick you not in a

:35:45. > :35:52.great frame of mind to go into the semifinals. -- it can put you.

:35:53. > :36:04.Our own Sophie Papps coming through - that was fantastic.

:36:05. > :36:08.She was brilliant, 7.2 do, -- 7.22, new personal best. Textbook

:36:09. > :36:11.sprinting, she got out of the blocks well and relaxed. Lane eight can

:36:12. > :36:15.sometimes be very hard but brilliant performance from her.

:36:16. > :36:19.When the team is in a groove, they are all coming back with successful

:36:20. > :36:23.performances today, so when you have done your warm up and watch your

:36:24. > :36:27.team-mates on the screen it inspires you and lifts you, and there is also

:36:28. > :36:31.that real sense of failure, you don't want to be the person on the

:36:32. > :36:34.team that lets everything fail. The sprinters have been very good and

:36:35. > :36:41.the dominant here this weekend, which is great.

:36:42. > :36:44.I find at the moment, our young British sprinters, both in the men

:36:45. > :36:49.and women, it whispers everyone on. They feel it is possible, it is

:36:50. > :36:52.achievable, and we are seeing that a lot in the events that we are

:36:53. > :36:57.successful income including men's hurdles.

:36:58. > :37:01.We can cast our minds back earlier to the men's 60 metres hurdles,

:37:02. > :37:05.which you were calling as well, Colin, and again to fine

:37:06. > :37:11.performances to talk about. Will Sharman.

:37:12. > :37:14.Yes, personal best, he is enjoying his running again. He suffered from

:37:15. > :37:18.injuries which held him back but now he is in a competitive mindset and

:37:19. > :37:23.thinking, if I am here I want everyone to know I am here. He said

:37:24. > :37:27.he cannot drifted over one of the hurdles badly, but he settled into

:37:28. > :37:32.that nice rhythm he has and clocked up a personal best. You cannot ask

:37:33. > :37:37.for any more from an athlete that a personal best. -- but a personal

:37:38. > :37:41.best. In his interview I called them inner

:37:42. > :37:46.Demons, he said he was up twice in the night and hardly got any sleep,

:37:47. > :37:52.thought he was going to miss the bus. You will know all too well, in

:37:53. > :37:57.athletics, fans probably don't appreciate what you go through.

:37:58. > :38:01.We are not always privy to what is in their minds and the preparation

:38:02. > :38:05.athletes go through. Athletics is not easy and at any point,

:38:06. > :38:09.especially when you are fit, you don't want anything to mess that up.

:38:10. > :38:13.He knows this is an opportunity to be back in the frame and those

:38:14. > :38:22.little things kind of onset of you, sometimes. He said he was up in the

:38:23. > :38:27.night. -- kind of unsubtle youth. -- unsettle you. There was no evidence

:38:28. > :38:33.of that committee had a wobble on a hurdle, but he knows that he has to

:38:34. > :38:36.be fluid and consistent and he will get the times he deserves.

:38:37. > :38:46.No. No. The fear of the coach on my back

:38:47. > :38:50.would terrify me! As for Andrew Pozzi, great to see

:38:51. > :38:53.him back. He has had a nightmare with injuries, but fourth place you

:38:54. > :38:59.at the World Championships a couple of years back and now he is getting

:39:00. > :39:03.back into the groove. -- fourth place here.

:39:04. > :39:09.We are all excited he is back in the groove. Years are very talented

:39:10. > :39:14.young man. He has spent a lot of time recovering from injury, he has

:39:15. > :39:20.switched his hurdle strayed from eight strides to seven strides. In

:39:21. > :39:24.Birmingham when he made the mistake in the finals it was because he had

:39:25. > :39:32.made that change and he was not quite with it, he had not clean

:39:33. > :39:37.enough on that. -- trained enough. Very important for athletes to equal

:39:38. > :39:42.their personal best and he can shake that out of the way, thinking, I am

:39:43. > :39:45.running well and I have no excuses. He will look to himself to perform

:39:46. > :39:50.better again. You have always talked about him and

:39:51. > :39:55.his natural flat speed that he has, but his technique is so different to

:39:56. > :39:58.Will Sharman's. He is built a little bigger, there

:39:59. > :40:03.is more solid in that sense, she does not have that same finesse that

:40:04. > :40:08.Will Sharman has. But, again, they are both very good and when they get

:40:09. > :40:12.into that semifinal we will have an explosion in British athletics on

:40:13. > :40:18.the hurdles again. Colin and Denise, thank you for now.

:40:19. > :40:21.We can catch up on the women's shot put qualifiers. Valerie Adams, she

:40:22. > :40:28.is a star, Olympic champion from New Zealand. She heads the list of

:40:29. > :40:31.qualifiers for the women's shot put final. Now we can join poll to find

:40:32. > :40:42.out what is happening in the heptathlon. -- Paul.

:40:43. > :40:53.5.20 is his lifetime best, so he should find this comfortable.

:40:54. > :41:16.That is much better. 4.80 gets in very good points indeed.

:41:17. > :41:47.Tuck, and explodes over the top of the bar. Excellent.

:41:48. > :41:53.Pascal Behrenbruch now needs this height of 4.80. Getting closer, but

:41:54. > :42:10.not quite good enough. 4.84 the second time, just has one

:42:11. > :42:23.more attempt left. -- 4.80, for the second time. He just does not seem

:42:24. > :42:27.to vault off the top of the pole. I am not white sure whether you would

:42:28. > :42:31.call that a bad push or not very satisfactory push at the very least.

:42:32. > :42:47.-- not quite sure. It looks as though Pascal

:42:48. > :43:06.Behrenbruch is the only athlete going to attempt this 4.80.

:43:07. > :43:11.Sport Relief is a couple of weeks away, you can run swim or cycle for

:43:12. > :43:17.the cause this year, how do you plan to get involved?

:43:18. > :43:23.Sport Relief? You have seen the aerodynamic helmets, there are other

:43:24. > :43:28.shorts. -- here are the shorts. Victoria loved them. Sport Relief,

:43:29. > :43:35.swimming? I am going to win. This beauty will make you as fast as a

:43:36. > :43:39.frog... Fish... Type... Thing. If you want to win Sport Relief you

:43:40. > :43:43.have to train hard, and that means going uphill.

:43:44. > :43:47.It is not about training. How will you win?

:43:48. > :43:50.You are supposed to do it for fun. Running! Whether you run, swim or

:43:51. > :44:02.cycle for Sport Relief, all you need is you. Join the fun and games.

:44:03. > :44:09.That is Sport Relief, what about this weekend's rugby, a tremendous

:44:10. > :44:15.weekend of RBS Six Nations and waits us. Today from 2pm on BBC One,

:44:16. > :44:19.Ireland against Italy followed at 4:40pm by Scotland against France.

:44:20. > :44:25.Tomorrow on BBC One coverage from 2:30pm of England against Wales, it

:44:26. > :44:29.is the big one from Twickenham. Shortly we will be seeing Britain's

:44:30. > :44:34.Robbie Grabarz in high jump qualifying action, he is the Olympic

:44:35. > :44:40.bronze-medallist, of course. We have seen the likes of Russia's Champion

:44:41. > :44:46.Ivan Ukhov clear the likes of 17.42 in the end -- indoor camping. --

:44:47. > :44:56.indoor campaign. It is relentless at the moment, last

:44:57. > :45:00.year we were dominated from the get go and this year Ivan Ukhov has come

:45:01. > :45:08.out to prove a point that he was not in great shape last year so he wants

:45:09. > :45:14.to show and they put single who is boss. You cannot rest on your model

:45:15. > :45:20.-- laurels, and scraper medal here. You have to do your best.

:45:21. > :45:24.In light of what were doing, does that take a bit of pressure off you

:45:25. > :45:28.this weekend? Is this another stepping stone on the journey to

:45:29. > :45:32.what he wanted to do summer? In a way, but at the same time I

:45:33. > :45:38.want to perform at my absolute utmost. It is never that kind of, I

:45:39. > :45:43.will get there and go, come here, because it will, do what I can to

:45:44. > :45:51.qualify and win the finals I beg you can never say never to anything. It

:45:52. > :45:54.is just a matter of letting it happen, enjoying the experience and

:45:55. > :45:57.performing well. We will see Robbie Grabarz and Tom

:45:58. > :46:03.Parsons in qualifying at the high jump later on, but now it is time to

:46:04. > :46:06.see the action from the pole-vault as part of the heptathlon, let's see

:46:07. > :46:11.Joe Ashton Eaton and the guys are doing. -- let's see how Ashton

:46:12. > :46:39.Eaton. It seems to take him an absolute age

:46:40. > :46:43.to get in the groove. Then, when he gets in the groove, he pushes beyond

:46:44. > :47:01.what he normally does. That's good. A little bit crunched up, but

:47:02. > :47:15.nevertheless, a very good fault. By gun, he's had his trials. He went

:47:16. > :47:20.all the way through to 4.70 and 4.80. We will see the heptathlon

:47:21. > :47:29.champion crowned in the evening session with the 1000 metres. That

:47:30. > :47:39.is ongoing. Rab -- Robbie Grabarz there, how would USS this season --

:47:40. > :47:46.would you assess the season for him? In my opinion, it is in his head. He

:47:47. > :47:52.has really got to unlock the person that he was in 2012 where it was

:47:53. > :47:57.just free and easy. He knows he can jump high. He has proved it. But

:47:58. > :48:03.something has happened to him after the Olympics when he just could not

:48:04. > :48:06.find it. Hopefully it will start again for him at these

:48:07. > :48:10.championships. That event was fiercely contested and probably one

:48:11. > :48:18.of the best events that year. Bondarenko was amazing. So

:48:19. > :48:23.competitive. He cannot afford to sit back off that and he needs to get

:48:24. > :48:28.back in the mix and start jumping high again. We've got the 4x400m

:48:29. > :48:33.coming up for men and women, British teams involved in both. Let's talk

:48:34. > :48:36.about the men's race. I am pleased to see Jamie Bowie getting an

:48:37. > :48:39.outing. He ran such a great leg in Moscow last year but then did not

:48:40. > :48:49.get to run in the final, whereas with him in the team, we will never

:48:50. > :48:54.know. It will be good to see the boys back in there being

:48:55. > :48:58.competitive. They do believe in themselves and they enjoy running as

:48:59. > :49:02.a team together. When you enjoyed the event, it makes a difference to

:49:03. > :49:06.your overall performance. The first rate is just about to happen with

:49:07. > :49:10.Jamaica and the USA. I was just about to say, ultimately, the

:49:11. > :49:14.frustrations that they have in the individual event makes them

:49:15. > :49:19.stronger, because they want so much more to prove how successful they

:49:20. > :49:25.can really be. I could you off! Let's get out and see the first

:49:26. > :49:40.4x400m heat, which involves the United States.

:49:41. > :49:51.Jamaica, I mentioned earlier the news that one athlete Hugh was

:49:52. > :49:57.disqualified after we left the arena last night. He is not in their relay

:49:58. > :50:03.team. We are expecting him to be put-in if they do make it through

:50:04. > :50:07.here. On paper, they should do. The first two in each heat and the two

:50:08. > :50:11.fastest losers will make it through. Poland will always be strong. Not

:50:12. > :50:19.their strongest team they have ever had. And the same thing for the

:50:20. > :50:22.United States. Their individual athletes not in this relay team at

:50:23. > :50:28.the moment. They are expected to come in for the finals. Great

:50:29. > :50:34.Britain will go in the second heat. Watch out for plenty of drama here.

:50:35. > :50:38.We have had quite a few disqualifications already,

:50:39. > :50:45.particularly in the fours and the eggs -- eights.

:50:46. > :50:56.There are some inexperienced runners here. Kind Butler and Calvin Smith

:50:57. > :50:59.has been in this sort of atmosphere before. Ukraine, Spain, Jamaica,

:51:00. > :51:19.Poland and the United States. Poland lead on the first leg, and he

:51:20. > :51:27.will be hoping to keep them involved. It is Jamaica who have

:51:28. > :51:35.come up the hardest. Each athlete runs two laps. No problems there.

:51:36. > :51:43.Jamaica are leading from the United States, Poland in third. Everyone is

:51:44. > :51:47.close together. Spain's test runner is a bit adrift of the front three

:51:48. > :52:04.at the minute. Even Ukraine are very close ear. The USA and Poland are

:52:05. > :52:13.keen to hang onto their coat-tails. USA second, Jamaica third. Patryk

:52:14. > :52:19.Dobek of Poland is against Ricky Babineaux. He is going very well

:52:20. > :52:25.indeed. Here comes the American, looking strong. Very close

:52:26. > :52:30.altogether. Yes, even Ukraine are still involved in this. Ricky

:52:31. > :52:37.Babineaux looks relaxed, running well. Fothergill of Jamaica has

:52:38. > :52:43.waited. He is looking good. Poland are still very close, as I Ukraine.

:52:44. > :52:47.Finishing very quickly indeed. It is going to be tight on the line,

:52:48. > :52:54.Jamaica just ahead of the USA. Spain are the only ones who are adrift

:52:55. > :52:59.now. And Jamaica have got a big athlete on the third leg. Just

:53:00. > :53:09.behind him, the very experienced Kind Butler in second place. No

:53:10. > :53:14.change. Hyatt leads for Jamaica. America in second place, Poland in

:53:15. > :53:23.third, Ukrainian fourth. It is going to be a combination of those four.

:53:24. > :53:35.And Kind Butler is moving. He is certainly well ahead now. Absolutely

:53:36. > :53:39.brilliant last 50. Yes, and he has given the USA a nice lead. They have

:53:40. > :53:45.kept their two best runners to the last two legs am adjusting case.

:53:46. > :53:52.They did not really need to. Calvin Smith, his father was a famous 200m

:53:53. > :53:57.runner. Calvin Smith is well capable of easing back. It is going to be

:53:58. > :54:02.about the battle for second place. Jamaica and Poland, the Polish crowd

:54:03. > :54:11.are really hoping that they can get pass the Jamaicans. He is going to

:54:12. > :54:14.kick away, but he hasn't given up. Poland are still trying to fight

:54:15. > :54:17.here. The United States have got through easily. Jamaica will take

:54:18. > :54:26.the other qualifying spot. With a time of about 3.4 -- three .04,

:54:27. > :54:37.Poland and Jamaica. Jamaica are definitely through. The Americans

:54:38. > :54:49.will be good in the final. A good run there from Butler and Smith.

:54:50. > :54:54.They are going to be tough to beat. Yes, tough indeed, but I was

:54:55. > :54:58.watching carefully the whole of that first semifinal, and it is a busy

:54:59. > :55:04.stadium downstairs, with pole vault and high jumpers warming up. On the

:55:05. > :55:08.third leg, one of the high jumpers got in the way of Hyatt, Jamaica and

:55:09. > :55:12.he was in the lead at that addicted a moment in time, and he had to

:55:13. > :55:16.storm and Colin self back a little bit. I'm not saying that affected

:55:17. > :55:23.his overall the formance, but it is startling when that can happen.

:55:24. > :55:35.Hyatt is a former policeman, he is a big lad. It was pretty close for the

:55:36. > :55:38.first couple of legs. They kept their best two athletes until the

:55:39. > :55:45.end. You can see Butler with a bit of a gap. What is important with the

:55:46. > :55:48.first two runners is to keep your main players in contention. It is

:55:49. > :55:52.important that you run off hard and establish your position. In a

:55:53. > :55:56.relay, you still want a lot of clean air, and that means nobody around

:55:57. > :56:00.you, so you can really concentrate and focus on what you are doing.

:56:01. > :56:05.That can be a little bit complicated when you have to exchange the

:56:06. > :56:12.batting. Poland are in a gallant third place. No disqualifications at

:56:13. > :56:17.this point. Just checking on the computer and it hasn't gone green,

:56:18. > :56:20.as we say here, each means an official results. But a provisional

:56:21. > :56:25.result of that the moment, which everybody is still in place, so we

:56:26. > :56:30.will bring you up to date with that as we move back to the heptathlon.

:56:31. > :56:35.Ashton Eaton in the pole vault. Ashton Eaton is the overall leader.

:56:36. > :56:44.He is also within range of breaking his own world record. It would be

:56:45. > :56:49.quite something if he can do that. That's good! He is a very good pole

:56:50. > :57:05.vault. He is a very good and confident young man. That is very

:57:06. > :57:11.competent pole vaulting indeed. Very comfortable, the one thing I haven't

:57:12. > :57:19.given you is the height. I can't give you the height at the moment

:57:20. > :57:28.because it isn't being displayed anywhere. There you go. 4.90. Well

:57:29. > :57:35.done. That was his first vault of the competition. Confirmation there.

:57:36. > :57:42.You can see a new indoor record for Ukraine, and those are the two

:57:43. > :57:53.fattest losers. USA and Jamaica were the first two places.

:57:54. > :58:00.Great Britain are next to go, and all we want here is no drama. They

:58:01. > :58:05.should qualify all right. Russia will be a danger. They have brought

:58:06. > :58:14.in Vladimir Krasnov, he did not run in the individual event. It is a

:58:15. > :58:19.busy arena, so let's hope there aren't any incidents that get in the

:58:20. > :58:21.way, qualification actors qualifications or collisions. Robbie

:58:22. > :58:29.Grabarz is over on the far side in that hygiene qualification. It must

:58:30. > :58:31.be a nervous time for Robbie Grabarz, because he knows the state

:58:32. > :58:42.of world high jumping is pretty strong. I'm pretty sure that there

:58:43. > :58:47.is high quality in the men's shot put. The high jump for me is one of

:58:48. > :58:51.the events of athletics at the moment, especially when we are

:58:52. > :58:55.talking about the field. Robbie has a lot to do, but the most important

:58:56. > :59:02.thing is for him to qualify. That is all we want. And the most important

:59:03. > :59:05.thing is for our 4x4 and meat is meant to qualify. We will reiterate

:59:06. > :59:12.line-up, Conrad Williams on the first leg, then Michael Bingham,

:59:13. > :59:16.then Jamie Bowie Tom and then Luke Lennon Ford. Nigel Levine, Richard

:59:17. > :59:21.Buck, who ran in the individual event, they are not taking part in

:59:22. > :59:25.the seats here. They are not -- up against Nigeria, Japan, Russia and

:59:26. > :59:33.the Bahamas. Great Britain have drawn the outside. Russia with a

:59:34. > :59:39.dangerous team, I think, particularly with Vladimir Krasnov.

:59:40. > :59:43.Bahamas are Olympic medallists. Chris Brown is in their team, and he

:59:44. > :59:47.will be in the individual final. He will add to their team

:59:48. > :59:52.substantially. Nigeria I thought might be a danger coming towards

:59:53. > :59:58.this, but I am not sure with that team there that they will cause too

:59:59. > :00:09.many issues. But we shall see. Japanese, led by Yam is that the. --

:00:10. > :00:28.Yamazaki. If Vladimir Krasnov is in any sort

:00:29. > :00:36.of shape, just watch out on the last leg. The Bahamas are close. They

:00:37. > :00:40.have put Ramon Miller in the first leg, almost the opposite of what the

:00:41. > :00:45.Americans have done, with their more experienced runners. Great Britain

:00:46. > :00:57.have a squad that have been having a good season. Conrad Williams is

:00:58. > :01:03.somebody who here is a mainstay of our 4x4 metres teams. They are more

:01:04. > :01:11.than capable of qualifying. Let's hope there are not any issues. Our

:01:12. > :01:15.boys very much worked together as a team.

:01:16. > :01:18.They enjoy working together. Even though they are competitive when it

:01:19. > :01:22.comes to the individual spot because they are up for grabs, when they

:01:23. > :01:27.come together in a relay team they seem likely enjoy everybody's

:01:28. > :01:31.company. You need to have that real bond as a team and know what the

:01:32. > :01:35.players are going to do around you. I think the four there are probably

:01:36. > :01:38.running to keep the place for the final.

:01:39. > :01:42.If you look at Nigel and Richard Buck, by their own admission they

:01:43. > :01:46.did not run well individually, so they do not have to bring either of

:01:47. > :01:52.those two in if these four perform really well here. Let us not expect

:01:53. > :01:56.them to be easing up too much. They will know that, particularly Conrad,

:01:57. > :02:00.of course, he is on the first leg, so his split is maybe not going to

:02:01. > :02:04.be the one competitor others. You would think he would run the first

:02:05. > :02:11.leg in the final, but after that they are all running for a place.

:02:12. > :02:15.Nigeria, Japan, Russia, Bahamas and Great Britain. Top two go through,

:02:16. > :02:18.two fastest losers from the two heaps to follow through, as well. --

:02:19. > :02:30.seats. Conrad Williams safely away, inside

:02:31. > :02:34.him Ramon Miller started reasonably quickly, as well. Not much of a

:02:35. > :02:39.break, but Conrad Williams has started well. He wants to try and

:02:40. > :02:47.get out there. Is that a recall? That is the longest recall... How do

:02:48. > :02:52.they all heard it down there, we only just heard it. I am not sure

:02:53. > :02:55.what happened there, I think that is an accidental recall. Let's look at

:02:56. > :03:00.our computer, there is nothing saying there is a false start there.

:03:01. > :03:04.Nothing at all, Steve. I am scanning the whole of this very

:03:05. > :03:07.busy arena to see what the officials are doing. They are scrapping

:03:08. > :03:13.around. They will have to give these athletes a bit of a break. After

:03:14. > :03:18.running virtually 150 and getting into your race groove you do not

:03:19. > :03:21.want to be starting instantly. A wise athlete will take their time

:03:22. > :03:25.back to the blocks, get as much recovery time as they can but also

:03:26. > :03:30.get an explanation. Why was there a recall?

:03:31. > :03:33.The blocks are all being replaced, they have immediately brought them

:03:34. > :03:37.out. The blocks had been taken and moved, it was that long after the

:03:38. > :03:43.recall. Normally if you come back after row called the blocks are

:03:44. > :03:47.still there. -- normally if you come back after a recall. I think that

:03:48. > :03:53.was a technical fault. They will have to wait a little bit, Conrad

:03:54. > :03:57.Williams is opting nice and slowly. -- walking nice and slowly. The

:03:58. > :04:09.team-mates are bringing water to the first runners. A little shake of the

:04:10. > :04:12.head from Toby Unger mola -- Ogunmola. It is not just the

:04:13. > :04:17.physical part, it is the nearest energy you have used up, as well.

:04:18. > :04:23.That was just like a training run. You know the repeats you do in

:04:24. > :04:25.training? That is what it is. Nobody wants an interval session here, do

:04:26. > :04:30.they? We have been given the reaction

:04:31. > :04:37.times and nobody was anywhere near a false start. The quickest reaction

:04:38. > :04:45.time was 0.155. It was not an issue with any of the athletes.

:04:46. > :04:52.We will have a look at exactly what happened.

:04:53. > :04:57.It is more hearing what happened, I don't think there was anything that

:04:58. > :05:01.happened as far as a false start from any of the athletes goes. It

:05:02. > :05:08.was so long. You can hardly view of the recall, there it is.

:05:09. > :05:14.Can Ashton Eaton become the first man to clear five metres in this

:05:15. > :05:16.competition? If he does, he is on course to break what is a relatively

:05:17. > :05:25.young world record. The world record beckons if Ashton

:05:26. > :05:34.Eaton can get five metres at the first attempt. Yes, that is good.

:05:35. > :05:40.Very good indeed. He keeps on going through this competition.

:05:41. > :05:57.Well above, well above. Five metres 30. That is the target he is going

:05:58. > :06:01.for, even 5.40, who knows? It could be good. Ashton Eaton, five metres

:06:02. > :06:12.first attempt. Ashton Eaton taking the opportunity

:06:13. > :06:18.of getting in one of his attempts while this confusion reigns down

:06:19. > :06:23.there. The athletes are now being brought back to the block, they are

:06:24. > :06:27.getting a green card, which means, as we rightly suspected, was nothing

:06:28. > :06:32.to do with any of the athletes, it was a technical fault. Somebody was

:06:33. > :06:38.a bit trigger-happy about seven or eight seconds into that race. Conrad

:06:39. > :06:42.Williams staying nice and relaxed, he has been acting of championships

:06:43. > :06:46.to know that he just needs to stay calm and not get stressed out about

:06:47. > :06:50.this. The important thing, Steve, is for

:06:51. > :06:55.these athletes to stay calm and realise I'm still have confidence in

:06:56. > :06:58.the system, because sometimes that can be a little unsettling when

:06:59. > :07:05.there is a start for zero particular reason and no one gives you a reason

:07:06. > :07:09.why that happens. Perhaps it is a bit nice to have a run out, what do

:07:10. > :07:14.you think? I thought they did well to stop.

:07:15. > :07:20.They were arriving at the far end of the arena when we heard at the

:07:21. > :07:34.second gumbo. -- when we heard the second gun goal. -- go. Ogunmola of

:07:35. > :07:38.Nigeria composing himself. Just to remind you, Ogunmola going for

:07:39. > :07:44.Nigeria in the first leg, Kengo Yamazaki for Japan, Lev Mosin for

:07:45. > :07:48.Russia, Ramon Miller for the Bahamas and Conrad Williams for Great

:07:49. > :07:57.Britain. Conrad Williams is still up.

:07:58. > :08:04.What is very obvious year is nobody is keen to get their lunch. -- zero.

:08:05. > :08:12.With the exception of I jump qualifying still going on on

:08:13. > :08:13.the far side, we have the heptathlon, pole vault, very busy

:08:14. > :08:23.down there. The women are actually out for the

:08:24. > :08:28.long jump qualifying, as well. Just going through some of their practice

:08:29. > :08:36.jumps. Everyone just needs to be a little quiet.

:08:37. > :08:45.Second heat of this 4x400 metres for men. The first two and two fastest

:08:46. > :08:57.losers through to the final. Ramon Miller got completely left in

:08:58. > :09:03.his blocks. He has a few metres to make up, but Conrad Williams has

:09:04. > :09:06.started well on the outside. Ramon Miller started slowly, rather than

:09:07. > :09:10.Conrad Williams starting quickly. On the inside, Nigeria trying to take

:09:11. > :09:15.the advantage. Conrad Williams will try and get across and he does come

:09:16. > :09:21.in the lead. Russia in second, then Bahamas easing out Nigeria for

:09:22. > :09:26.third. Conrad Williams is doing what he has to do, get Britain out in

:09:27. > :09:33.front. That is absolutely spot on, Steve, let's hope he can maintain

:09:34. > :09:40.his stride rate here. He's pulling away, well ahead of the

:09:41. > :09:42.Russians, well ahead of the Bahamas. And the Nigerians and Japanese were

:09:43. > :09:48.absolutely nowhere. Great Britain are going well at the minute.

:09:49. > :09:52.Very good first leg from Conrad Williams, and that means that the

:09:53. > :09:55.rest of the team should be able to run freely. As long as they run as

:09:56. > :10:00.well as they have been so far this year, they can qualify fairly

:10:01. > :10:11.comfortably here. Russia, trying their best to give Vladimir Krasnov

:10:12. > :10:14.something to run at on the last leg. Michael Bingham hanging over to

:10:15. > :10:19.Jamie Bowie, it is a good scrap for second, Russia holding up the

:10:20. > :10:23.Bahamas, Nigeria still there. That is the chasing group, you are

:10:24. > :10:26.watching, Russia, Bahamas and Nigeria, but Great Britain are well

:10:27. > :10:32.ahead. Jamie Bowie, I would suggest, will

:10:33. > :10:39.not want to let this happen close. -- app. He is absolutely focused

:10:40. > :10:41.their on maintaining his output and he is actually beginning to pull

:10:42. > :10:53.away now. That is very good. Jamie Bowie looking very strong, he

:10:54. > :10:57.is really maturing as an athlete, maturing as a 400 metres runner and

:10:58. > :11:01.maturing as a member of this 4x400 squad. Moving away from the Russians

:11:02. > :11:04.it is going to be a battle for second. Luke Lennon-Ford will be

:11:05. > :11:12.bringing it home for Great Britain, they just have to make sure they get

:11:13. > :11:18.the bat on a cross. -- the bat on a cross. Just about get it across OK.

:11:19. > :11:22.Vladimir Krasnov is just behind input, but he is not in the same

:11:23. > :11:25.shape we have seen in the past. That gap of five metres may be something

:11:26. > :11:31.he can make up but I don't think this is the Vladimir Krasnov we have

:11:32. > :11:35.seen in the past two or three years. Russia career in second place,

:11:36. > :11:39.Nigeria no threat to them, this is not the best Nigerian team. And the

:11:40. > :11:44.Bahamas team without Chris Brown looking pretty poor indeed. In fact,

:11:45. > :11:48.the last leg runner, Latoy Williams, looks as if he is not bothering, to

:11:49. > :11:52.be honest, which is a shame for his team-mates because there are two

:11:53. > :11:58.fastest loser spots. Luke Lennon-Ford bringing it for Britain,

:11:59. > :12:00.Vladimir Krasnov for Russia, those two qualifying. Nigeria will not go

:12:01. > :12:07.through with that sort of time, neither will the Bahamas. LaToya --

:12:08. > :12:11.Latoy Williams's team-mates may be having a little word with him. No

:12:12. > :12:16.problem for Great Britain. We wanted a safe race once they got underway,

:12:17. > :12:21.that is what we got. It was all set up by an excellent first leg from

:12:22. > :12:25.Conrad Williams. It was a very good first leg indeed from Conrad.

:12:26. > :12:30.46.4 on that opener. That shows he is in reasonably good shape. Nice,

:12:31. > :12:35.controlled and composed running by him. Took the early lead and Great

:12:36. > :12:43.Britain from here run-in just needed to hang on. Michael Bingham, 46.9 on

:12:44. > :12:49.the second leg. He hands over to Jamie Bowie, again, all of our

:12:50. > :12:56.athletes have been very consistent around that 46.5, 46.7 mark. For

:12:57. > :13:02.Jamie Bowie it was 46.5. Good third leg. Luke Lennon-Ford, the glory

:13:03. > :13:07.leg, we always call it, they bring the bat an home for Great Britain to

:13:08. > :13:17.take this semifinal and his leg was 46.2. Good consistent running by

:13:18. > :13:21.all. -- baton home. I just wonder what the team

:13:22. > :13:26.selectors will make of that. I think Conrad Williams in particular, if

:13:27. > :13:32.you run 46.4, all of the others were 46.9, 46.5, but 46.4 out of the

:13:33. > :13:36.blocks, outside lane, lane six, etc, really good from him. It is a

:13:37. > :13:42.question of what you do, do you bring in Nigel Levine? Let's look at

:13:43. > :13:48.the list of men taking part in the high jump qualification there. Tom

:13:49. > :13:53.Parsons and Robbie Grabarz going for Great Britain. In the meantime we

:13:54. > :13:58.will have a word with our team who have made it safely through to the

:13:59. > :14:02.final with Phil. Conrad, what was going on out of

:14:03. > :14:07.there? You did well to hear the call-back.

:14:08. > :14:10.Yes, with all the madness going on it was crazy. I heard the first one

:14:11. > :14:13.but I have always been taught keep running until you hear the second. I

:14:14. > :14:20.looked around and realised it was for us. I did not know if someone

:14:21. > :14:26.was doing starts or 60s or whatever. I run that 100 metres hard, to turn

:14:27. > :14:29.around and do it again was crazy. I just had to knuckle down and make

:14:30. > :14:35.sure and focus and set up again for the guys.

:14:36. > :14:39.You did well, and you two are so experienced as part of this team.

:14:40. > :14:47.When you are in front you held onto it and extended it. We did what we

:14:48. > :14:53.had to do, it was a good 1750 really that we just ran.

:14:54. > :14:58.All of the guys did their job and we just look forward to tomorrow.

:14:59. > :15:01.Jamie, you did a great job in qualifying in Moscow last year, what

:15:02. > :15:07.is it like to be part of the squad again? It is great to be bad, --

:15:08. > :15:11.back, we'll have a bit of banter, good to get out there and make the

:15:12. > :15:14.job done and good to make a statement, as well.

:15:15. > :15:19.Was there a battle for places for the final today?

:15:20. > :15:22.Yes, the result is a bit of competitiveness in the team, we want

:15:23. > :15:26.the strongest team to go through to the final, there are seven of us out

:15:27. > :15:30.there and it is all about that seven running as best as we can in

:15:31. > :15:33.whatever formation. There is great camaraderie among you guys and it

:15:34. > :15:38.helps that you have Nigel Levine as a training partner, as well.

:15:39. > :15:42.It is great training with Nigel. You saw that Conrad and there had.

:15:43. > :15:46.Comedy run a good 150 metres and still executed a good 400 metres

:15:47. > :15:50.straight after. That shows the kind of work we are putting in. -- he did

:15:51. > :15:52.run a good. Like you for talking to us, guys,

:15:53. > :16:03.all the best for tomorrow. The men are safely through to the

:16:04. > :16:09.final tomorrow. Now it is the turn of the women, who go in the very

:16:10. > :16:11.first heat. We have the two Ohuruogu sisters running together for the

:16:12. > :16:16.very first time. Let's hear from Christine.

:16:17. > :16:20.You have been one of the biggest success stories of recent years, the

:16:21. > :16:38.British women's four x 400m relay team. What will your memories from

:16:39. > :16:47.Istanbul? I think being at the line screaming for Perri, to date and in

:16:48. > :16:56.-- today Dean and hold on. It will be nice to have a repeat of those

:16:57. > :17:03.successes this weekend. How does it average to help you kick-start your

:17:04. > :17:09.season, your summer season? I don't really do four indoors. That when

:17:10. > :17:13.you have done the relay, you have had success as part of that team. Of

:17:14. > :17:21.course, and for us, especially going into 2012, that was huge. It was

:17:22. > :17:24.good team spirit and we went into 2012 believing we were good enough

:17:25. > :17:30.to go in and contend against the best. The same thing happened in

:17:31. > :17:35.Sweden. Knowing that you were the best in Europe, that gave us

:17:36. > :17:42.encouragement going into the outdoor season. I think this will be

:17:43. > :17:44.different. We losing our Scottish warrior, unfortunately, to the

:17:45. > :17:48.Scottish team for the Commonwealth Games, but I think the girls will be

:17:49. > :17:55.looking forward to put a let down for the individual runners. We are

:17:56. > :17:59.looking to get a good time, because it is something positive in

:18:00. > :18:04.projecting you into the outdoor season, and it is good to know where

:18:05. > :18:09.you are with your times at this time in the year. Do you have a plan in

:18:10. > :18:17.mind for what the year holds? Is it a year of enjoyment rather than

:18:18. > :18:21.pressure? My coach always says go out and enjoy yourself. And I said,

:18:22. > :18:25.which part of the 400 are you supposed to enjoy? Nothing has

:18:26. > :18:30.changed. I am still training hard. With the 400, I call it more a

:18:31. > :18:34.maintenance year than a rest year, because you cannot really rest in

:18:35. > :18:37.the 400. You don't do half a session or half a day or half a programme,

:18:38. > :18:45.you still have to come in and put the work in. I think, finally, rest

:18:46. > :18:51.is a bit of a misnomer. You just strained and you see where the year

:18:52. > :18:57.takes you. It is a big year with the Commonwealth Games. You know what

:18:58. > :19:00.you are targeting? Definitely Commonwealth Games. I am really

:19:01. > :19:04.excited about it. It will be great to be part of that. The Europeans

:19:05. > :19:07.will be soon after that, a couple of weeks, so I think we will deal with

:19:08. > :19:10.the Commonwealth Games first and then see what the future holds for

:19:11. > :19:26.the Europeans. Shana Cox will be the other member

:19:27. > :19:32.from that winning team with Christine, now joined by Eilidh

:19:33. > :19:39.Child and Christine's younger sister Victoria. Victoria turned 21 just

:19:40. > :19:46.over a week ago and will be with Christine on the last two legs, the

:19:47. > :19:49.two of them. Eilidh Child is the team captain and is the lead runner

:19:50. > :19:55.for Britain, taking on Italy, Romania and Russia, Italy in three,

:19:56. > :20:02.Rumania in four, Russia in five and Britain on the outside. Easier

:20:03. > :20:10.qualification in terms of less teams involved in the women's event. There

:20:11. > :20:18.is no qualification, really, the teams get invited to compete. Italy

:20:19. > :20:22.are joining Romania. It will really be the Russians who are going to be

:20:23. > :20:30.some sort of threat to this British quartet once we get to the final. As

:20:31. > :20:36.ever, Russia with plenty of athletes to choose from, but interestingly,

:20:37. > :20:42.their champion is not selected for the heats. Don't forget, she got

:20:43. > :20:47.when Arik by Shaunae Miller by what must have been the tiniest of

:20:48. > :20:52.margins. They will have her to bring in. Written, I wonder if they will

:20:53. > :20:58.stick with this quartet. I doubt they will. I think Margaret Adeoye

:20:59. > :21:03.will be brought in for the final. Eilidh Child will want to bring them

:21:04. > :21:07.in well, she is the team captain of course. Christine was their team

:21:08. > :21:13.captain in Moscow for the outdoor Championships. Again, the same as

:21:14. > :21:22.the men, no problems here, hopefully. Second he is a little

:21:23. > :21:23.tougher, with Jamaica, Nigeria, United States and Poland. It should

:21:24. > :21:37.be Britain and Russia here. What a big year for Eilidh Child

:21:38. > :21:44.with the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. And 400m hurdles, of

:21:45. > :21:48.course, her main event. I am sure the Scottish four x 400m team,

:21:49. > :21:53.Eilidh Child will be part of that as well. She is coming across already,

:21:54. > :21:59.building up a little bit of a lead over the Russians. She is doing

:22:00. > :22:02.exactly what Conrad Williams did for the men, getting out in front

:22:03. > :22:08.early, and hopefully Britain can have a fairly trouble-free passage

:22:09. > :22:17.through to the final here. One sincerely hope so. At the minute, it

:22:18. > :22:26.is Great Britain, it is Russia, and just cruising along very steadily.

:22:27. > :22:31.That was a good leg. Very good indeed for Eilidh Child. Now Shana

:22:32. > :22:39.Cox for Great Britain. She is going to feel confident of staying ahead

:22:40. > :22:45.of Russia, and if the British team can stay well ahead of Russia, it

:22:46. > :22:52.will look good coming into the final. So Shana Cox for Great

:22:53. > :22:59.Britain ahead of Irina Davydova, and stretching away. Yes, looking good.

:23:00. > :23:04.Irina Davydova is not a bad runner. I am surprised she is fading away

:23:05. > :23:11.quickly there. Shana Cox is building on what Eilidh Child started. Italy

:23:12. > :23:15.are trying to get on terms with Russia here, but it is Britain with

:23:16. > :23:21.a good eight-metre lead, and young Victoria Ohuruogu, just turned 21

:23:22. > :23:24.week ago, with the responsibility of winding this around and handing over

:23:25. > :23:35.to her older sister, hopefully with a nice comfortable lead. She is

:23:36. > :23:39.being put under pressure by Yuliya Terekhova, but she has got another

:23:40. > :23:46.lap to soak it up before she hands over to her sister. Great Britain

:23:47. > :23:53.and Russia are well ahead of Romania at the moment. It was Romania who

:23:54. > :23:59.were penned -- pencilled in as a potential threat to both Russia and

:24:00. > :24:04.Great Britain. Both the British team and the Russian team are doing very

:24:05. > :24:12.well here. Can Victoria hold of the pressure? Yes, she can. Both teams

:24:13. > :24:16.have a very experienced athletes. Christine Ohuruogu, we know all

:24:17. > :24:20.about her. And the Russian runner, she is very solid as well. Christine

:24:21. > :24:28.should be able to maintain her lead over Nazarova. She won't be too

:24:29. > :24:32.concerned about the first 200m. The two of them are well clear. There

:24:33. > :24:38.might be a little bit of one up in ship going on here on the last lap.

:24:39. > :24:45.Christine is running wide on the bends, to stop the Russian trying

:24:46. > :24:48.anything on. The two of them are controlling this. Nazarova is

:24:49. > :24:56.looking behind and about the big screen. No fear to do anything more

:24:57. > :25:01.than they have to. Christine Ohuruogu is almost coming down to a

:25:02. > :25:09.canter. Britain and Russia qualify safely. It will be much, much

:25:10. > :25:16.quicker come the final, I can assure you. I am not sure if we will see

:25:17. > :25:20.exactly the same teams. Surely, the Russians will have much more to

:25:21. > :25:24.bring into this. Eilidh Child, an excellent first leg, and Shana Cox

:25:25. > :25:29.was pretty impressive as well. Victoria Ohuruogu, nice for her to

:25:30. > :25:36.be involved in this, and Christine could afford to eat off. It is a

:25:37. > :25:42.huge lechery for Christine. Once all the other women have done the hard

:25:43. > :25:46.work to put you in a good position, and when you are the world champion

:25:47. > :25:53.at doors as well, you know you can deliver under any sort of pressure.

:25:54. > :26:04.Shana Cox, good performance, 51.8, passing on to Victoria Ohuruogu. A

:26:05. > :26:10.bit of a problem there. Victoria had the pleasure to hand the battle over

:26:11. > :26:13.to her big sister. All Christine needed to do was just control the

:26:14. > :26:18.race all the way through to the line, and she did that. So our women

:26:19. > :26:22.are successfully through to the final. I bet they are all looking

:26:23. > :26:26.forward to it. Perhaps they are a bit nervous as to who will lose

:26:27. > :26:35.their place, if anybody, in that final. It is a good position that we

:26:36. > :26:44.are in. Confirmation, Great Britain winning in 3.30.6. A new national

:26:45. > :26:48.indoor record for the Italians, with their 3.31 clocking. And I am just

:26:49. > :26:54.checking whether or not that would be quick enough... But how can I

:26:55. > :26:55.check? ! We have got another race to come. They might go through as the

:26:56. > :27:11.fastest loser. The second heat is yet to come,

:27:12. > :27:12.Jamaica, Nigeria, US and Poland, but great at an safely through and our

:27:13. > :27:23.team are now with Phil. You got the team off to a fantastic

:27:24. > :27:27.start. You did us proud again. Yes, that was the fastest I have done

:27:28. > :27:34.this season, so it was good to get a good lead. It was good to come in,

:27:35. > :27:39.set up from the start and make it easier for the girls, so that was a

:27:40. > :27:41.good start to it. And being team captain and delivering the speech

:27:42. > :27:46.the other night, don't leave anything out on the track you did

:27:47. > :27:50.have to deliver and you did. Yes, we have all got our own jobs to do and

:27:51. > :27:53.we want to make it as straightforward as possible, keep it

:27:54. > :28:01.safe and safer bet for tomorrowfinal. And, Shana Cox, a

:28:02. > :28:09.tremendous performance view. Eilidh Child Diame -- did a great job on

:28:10. > :28:18.the first leg. We are in a good position for tomorrow. And a good,

:28:19. > :28:22.consistent time for you as well, Victoria. Congratulations on your

:28:23. > :28:31.21st birthday last week. This is a great way to celebrate. Yes! I am

:28:32. > :28:35.new to the team, and I wanted to make sure I didn't mess up. I am

:28:36. > :28:39.happy with that. It was more than all right. You are being modest. It

:28:40. > :28:43.helps having your sister to call on. You brought the team home in style.

:28:44. > :28:47.Yes, the girls always do a really good job. I am trying to hold on and

:28:48. > :28:52.not mess up the good work they started. But we always come out

:28:53. > :28:59.fighting. We started off well and we will go back and recover and I think

:29:00. > :29:03.we can give a good performance tomorrow. You never let a stone.

:29:04. > :29:10.What is it like to run with Victoria? This is a first. I try not

:29:11. > :29:15.to be too much of a big sister and keep nagging at her. I just write a

:29:16. > :29:21.letter do what she needs to do. But we have two very well established

:29:22. > :29:25.runners here, so I am open she will learn from them rather than have me

:29:26. > :29:27.nagging at her all the time will stop Weldon. We will see you in the

:29:28. > :29:43.final. Eight job done -- a job done for the

:29:44. > :29:47.British women. And now it is Nigeria, Jamaica, Poland and the

:29:48. > :29:51.United States doing battle. I think this will be an interesting heat.

:29:52. > :29:56.The US will be a team which you would expect to get through. No

:29:57. > :30:01.Regina George for Nigeria. Patients George is going on the second leg.

:30:02. > :30:05.That is not a ad team that the Nigerians have got without Regina

:30:06. > :30:11.George, who did qualify for their semifinal individually, and then

:30:12. > :30:18.withdrew. Natasha Hastings is very strong for the United States, the

:30:19. > :30:28.lead runner. And their team, Monica Hargrove, Janel Hayes and Cassandra

:30:29. > :30:38.Tate, maybe not as experienced. Poland will get a great cheer.

:30:39. > :30:45.And that Jamaican team is pretty strong as well, on the inside, with

:30:46. > :30:55.Chambers leading, Natoya Goule and Stephenie Ann McPherson.

:30:56. > :30:59.Stephenie Ann McPherson broke 50 seconds last year, and that is

:31:00. > :31:10.always a good prospect to have on your last leg stop Natoya Goule. She

:31:11. > :31:12.is an 800m runner brought in to run a 400m leg for the Jamaican sea on

:31:13. > :31:34.the third leg. No problems there, Natasha Hastings

:31:35. > :31:39.should dominate this first legacy C is in any sort of shape. She looks

:31:40. > :31:45.fairly confident. The Nigerian runner is right there with her.

:31:46. > :31:51.Chambers is trying to hang on. Natasha Hastings started pretty well

:31:52. > :31:56.here, but you would expect her to build up a little bit of a lead.

:31:57. > :32:03.Paul and going well here. She is really lifting the crowd. Natasha

:32:04. > :32:08.Hastings starting to pull away, Paul.

:32:09. > :32:16.Natasha Hastings is running one of the races of her life. She is

:32:17. > :32:20.handing over four metres in the lead. Nigeria in second place and

:32:21. > :32:36.Jamaica having a tussle with Poland for third. Jamaica wanting the lead.

:32:37. > :32:41.Getting closer and closer. Hayes is the athlete in the lead at the

:32:42. > :32:57.moment. But patients George is the athlete on her coat tails. --

:32:58. > :33:01.patients. -- Patience. They are very much in contention

:33:02. > :33:10.here, Jamaica with good runners to come, they are going to hand over to

:33:11. > :33:15.Goule, the 800 metres runner. Poland did really well to get back here.

:33:16. > :33:21.America it in front, Monica Hargrove, really experienced

:33:22. > :33:31.outdoors and indoors. Nigeria giving chase. Monica Hargrove still in the

:33:32. > :33:34.lead for America. Nigeria second, Poland third, Jamaica forth, but

:33:35. > :33:41.they are all close together. They certainly are.

:33:42. > :33:48.America still in the lead, Nigeria second, then it is a real tussle

:33:49. > :33:52.between Poland and Jamaica. Monica Hargrove is having an excellent leg

:33:53. > :33:59.for the USA. She is being chased hard down the home straight by the

:34:00. > :34:02.Nigerian. It is USA, Nigeria and Poland are coming up. Poland are

:34:03. > :34:08.stepping on the gas, challenging for second place.

:34:09. > :34:21.It will be interesting to see whether Holub can catch her.

:34:22. > :34:26.Cassandra Tate, not hasn't -- has not been in this position too many

:34:27. > :34:29.times, fourth in the American Championships. She started quickly

:34:30. > :34:38.flew at first 200 but they have a good, solid lead. The Nigerian team

:34:39. > :34:43.starting to fade a little bit, Holub and Jamaica still in it with

:34:44. > :34:48.Stefanie Anderson. America are going to win this but who will get second?

:34:49. > :34:51.It is a great battle for second place, Holub trying to hold off, but

:34:52. > :34:56.MacPherson is going to get there from Jamaica. Then Poland, then

:34:57. > :35:01.Nigeria, but I think they may all qualify because the third-place team

:35:02. > :35:08.in the first heat was Italy with 3.99. The winning time they're just

:35:09. > :35:12.outside 3.29. There was not much between first and first and fourth.

:35:13. > :35:18.-- between first and fourth. That is what we like about really running,

:35:19. > :35:22.-- relay running. We could not call that until the

:35:23. > :35:27.final moment. I believe you are correct, all of those teams will go

:35:28. > :35:35.through. Jamaica with a new national indoor record in second place.

:35:36. > :35:44.Poland, season best, 3.29 48. And Nigeria will also go through with

:35:45. > :35:47.that 3.29 .67. Personal best for that the Nigerian team. The USA you

:35:48. > :35:50.would expect to be dominant because they spend a lot of time in the

:35:51. > :35:57.collegiate system, changing but once all the time. -- changing over all

:35:58. > :36:00.the time. They will be more used to it than the other teams. They will

:36:01. > :36:04.start no doubt as favourite and Britain are looking good for a medal

:36:05. > :36:12.here, Steve. Yes, I think Jamaica can strengthen

:36:13. > :36:17.their team, so can Britain, though, if Margaret Adeoye were to come in.

:36:18. > :36:22.Let us put it this way, great chance of a medal. Who will win this one

:36:23. > :36:25.though, we will look forward to the final as ever. The 4x400s, full of

:36:26. > :36:35.excitement. It is good that Poland have made it,

:36:36. > :36:39.that will add a little bit of atmosphere. Holub did well in that

:36:40. > :36:46.last leg for them. Very close indeed, all within six tenths of a

:36:47. > :36:54.second. I think they will all improve. Jamaica, new indoor

:36:55. > :37:00.record, then Poland and Nigeria. There are the qualifiers. United

:37:01. > :37:05.States, Jamaica, Poland, Nigeria, Great Britain and Russia. It should

:37:06. > :37:07.be a great final. Great Britain safely through and our

:37:08. > :37:27.team are now with Phil. Darya Klishina now in the long jump.

:37:28. > :37:34.That is pretty long. Darya Klishina looks pretty close.

:37:35. > :37:43.She obviously did not bend forward. 6.76, season best, and that puts in

:37:44. > :38:10.first place and then the final. Well, we still have high jump

:38:11. > :38:15.qualification going on, the women's long jump, as well. But that is it

:38:16. > :38:20.on the track this morning. A busy night, of course, we have the men's

:38:21. > :38:24.60 metres semifinal and final tonight, the same with the women's

:38:25. > :38:29.60 metres hurdles. Lots to look forward to. It has been a better

:38:30. > :38:33.morning for Great Britain this morning, it much better than

:38:34. > :38:36.yesterday. It has been a quality morning,

:38:37. > :38:44.Steve. We have certainly all enjoyed it. Pole-vault still happening, that

:38:45. > :38:46.qualification. Ashton Eaton has really nailed that

:38:47. > :38:52.one. Curls up. Launches himself over the

:38:53. > :39:09.bar. He is absolutely flying here. Very good. He has not quite got the

:39:10. > :39:15.pike required at the top of the pole-vault, but he is over safely.

:39:16. > :39:29.Five metres 20 at the third attempt, that is good.

:39:30. > :39:44.Not bad. We have Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Shara Proctor

:39:45. > :39:57.in there. But I am not sure we are going to

:39:58. > :40:04.have time to stay and see those two. Ivana Spanovic, an unexpected bronze

:40:05. > :40:14.medal in the Championship in 2013, and at 6.77 she is straight through

:40:15. > :40:17.to the final. It has been a busy morning session

:40:18. > :40:21.but an enjoyable one and some British success along the way. It

:40:22. > :40:25.was all kick-started by the guys in the men's 60 metres hurdles, Andrew

:40:26. > :40:30.Pozzi and Will Sharman. In the field we have some competitors competing,

:40:31. > :40:33.we are at the mercy of the host broadcaster here so we are not able

:40:34. > :40:38.to bring you exactly who we want when we want, but we can sure you

:40:39. > :40:44.Shara Proctor's long jump qualifying jump. Six metres 69 for Shara

:40:45. > :40:49.Proctor, only one centimetre of the quality -- whatever -- automatic for

:40:50. > :40:54.the fighting mark. It will probably be good enough to get her through

:40:55. > :41:03.even if she does not go above 6.70. Robbie Grabarz has cleared 2.16, Tom

:41:04. > :41:08.Parsons 2.21. 2.31 as the qualifying height in the high jump. Catherine

:41:09. > :41:14.-- Katarina Johnson-Thompson qualifying in the long jump so far.

:41:15. > :41:17.I would like to think Shara Proctor would get through. I have been

:41:18. > :41:21.trying to watch everything but it has been a very busy morning

:41:22. > :41:24.session. They are both very good. We would like a little bit more from

:41:25. > :41:29.Katarina Johnson-Thompson. You want to make this trip out here

:41:30. > :41:37.worthwhile. I would like to see her get through to the final, that would

:41:38. > :41:41.be great. 6.70 's automatic qualification for the top eight, so

:41:42. > :41:48.she has some work to do. As for Robbie Grabarz comedy has

:41:49. > :41:51.cleared 2.16, but failure is the not greatly matter in qualifying, it is

:41:52. > :41:55.getting that qualifying height for the final. That will be key for

:41:56. > :41:57.Robbie Grabarz, we saw that Tom Parsons went over to point to one

:41:58. > :42:03.comfortably. It was an interesting experience to

:42:04. > :42:07.see how they will both do. It is tight qualifying there.

:42:08. > :42:10.We have had an enjoyable morning, this extreme metres hurdles was a

:42:11. > :42:15.great start, then the 60 metres flat for women. Fantastic. Plenty more to

:42:16. > :42:16.come in the evening session and the excitement continues to build. Here

:42:17. > :42:32.is what is coming up later on. -- we have an exciting prospect from

:42:33. > :42:36.Luke Cutts in the men's pole vault final. Sally Pearson and Tiffany

:42:37. > :42:42.Porter in the women's 60 metres hurdles. Dwain Chambers and Richard

:42:43. > :42:48.Kilty in the men's 60 metres semifinals. Plus the conclusion of

:42:49. > :42:51.the heptathlon with Ashton Eaton looking to add another gold medal to

:42:52. > :42:58.his ever-growing collection. We are on air at 5:10pm on BBC Two later on

:42:59. > :43:06.this afternoon. Colin and Denise, your highlight if

:43:07. > :43:10.you had to pick one today? The hurdles?

:43:11. > :43:15.Yes, both of the hurdles guys looked very good and did a personal best.

:43:16. > :43:21.Denise, what about the 60 metres for the winning two any particular

:43:22. > :43:28.highlight? All looking good. It is going to be close, I am very
