Day 3 Athletics: World Indoor Championships

Welcome to the Polish seaside resort of Sopot. This town has gained

renown and for the record length of its wooden pier. They can now also

boast hosting duties, the world indoor athletic Championships. It is

day three of the competition, a day for the stars to shine.

Inside the arena behind me, 12 gold medals will be decided this

afternoon. Britain has high hopes of adding to its medal collection after

the two medals but came yesterday. Richard Kilty, in great form, can he

get amongst the medals? A flying start. Celtic makes it! Did he win

it? -- It is for everyone back at home, my

father, my family, my sponsors. For everybody who doubted me, I've been

overlooked in selection a few times, nobody believed me, nobody mentioned

me in the previews, but I have proved everyone wrong.

That was Richard last night, here yesterday. After that glorious

night, I know you have your medal ceremony to come, it's great to see

you. What is the overriding emotion? It is amazing to stand here

with two great champions, two of my heroes. To be stood here as

champion, representing Great Britain, it is amazing. We talked

about how calm you seemed. Your focus was unshakeable. I knew from

the past, from watching events on television, I could see people would

let nerves get the better of them. I knew what I had to do and I was very

confident. I knew exactly what I had to do. I did not let anything

Borini, I just concentrated. -- Bernini.

You were in as a replacement for James Dasaolu, and you have not let

that affect you? No, it was a big opportunity for me. I came out here

and I just bought every round, got better every round and made the most

of the opportunity. We will have a look at the race once

again. There are a lot of mind games on the

start line. Nesta Carter was playing mind games. But I knew if I could be

up there at 30 metres, my last 30 metres were stronger and quicker

than anybody else's. I just believed I could go out there and do it, so I

remained focus and a new all I had to do was execute the race. We saw

those great reactions at the end. When did you realise you had one? I

realise I had one as soon as I crossed the line. I did not want to

celebrate until I saw the replay. Your reaction said so much to me

personally. You have known for a long time what you are capable of.

You have been so consistent in doors and you just took it up a notch. It

has not happened overnight. I have had a tough four years, I have been

injured a lot and I have had a few difficult years. Last year, I was

training alone. My dad has been my biggest inspiration and help. But

once I was put in an environment where I could train properly and be

a professional athlete, it gave me the opportunity and I think I have

proved it. You are now world champion. That is the first stepping

stone for you now. Home a char you looking forward to the outdoor

season? You must be looking at all the names, take me out of the

equation! Think about all of those names in front of you, every single

one of them has gone under ten seconds. Will that be your next

target? Yes, it's very exciting. People have looked at me as a

200-metre runner in the past, I have got very good speed. The time I was

running in the back 30 of the 60-metre indicated I could do

better. But I think within the next two years, I am capable of doing

it, forcibly in the next year. I am looking forward to the Commonwealth

Games. -- possibly in the next year. Will your focus be -- what will your

focus be? I am going out to Florida and I will do some pre-season races

out there and then I will pick what I would do in the Commonwealth. I am

pretty versatile. I will have to see how the first few races go. You have

been getting a lot of compliments on social media. Jemma Simpson made a

point, but selectors should always picked a full team because you never

know what is going to happen when you get to a championship. Yes,

going back to 2012, I think, given the opportunity, I could have

performed. But you weren't selected? I wasn't selected and I use that as

motivation. I would have loved to have complete their, but I think it

shows that athletes, we should take a full team because even athletes

who do not have much experience can come out here and perform. I would

have loved the opportunity in 2012, but there are bigger things on the

horizon. How much were you aware of what was going on before your

event? Did you know about Tiffany Porter? Yes, she is my training

partner and that really inspired me. She inspired me to do well.

Congratulations. Another quick look at the medals table.

You can join the conversation on social media.

We have got athletes tweeting in which is great.

This race promises to be one of the showdowns of the championships.

Can she get close to her best? She is the one we have been looking

forward to. Thanks for staying with us. What do

you think could happen? Some great names in the race. Google is a great

starter. Christine Ohuruogu. Hopefully, she can come out there

and condemned as you has done in the past. If she believes in herself,

and executes the breeze, who knows what will happen? We have two of the

world's best sprinters in the final. That gives the goose bumps. What you

did last night will inspire Asha. Yes, hopefully she can go out

there, and I think she is capable of getting the gold. I wish her the

best. Banks for joining us. Enjoy the

medal ceremony. Let's get out to the first

semifinal. He was Steve Cram. Good afternoon. Well done to Richard

Kilty. I'm sure, as he was Ian, -- as he was seeing, hopefully we will

have both British women in the final.

There is the fastest in the world. Muriel Ahoure. One of only seven

women to have run under seven seconds at this distance. Well done

to Sophie Papps for making it through to the semifinal, 7.22, a

new personal best. LaKeisha Lawson of the United

States, she had one or two problems since the American trials,

struggling with a swollen knee during the trials, not training too

much, coming towards these championships. Carina Horn there.

Sneak through as a fastest loser. And Ruddy Zang Milama, I think we

mentioned yesterday, she was her country's flagbearer at the Olympic

Games. So, three semifinals, the final later on, of course, the first

two and two fastest losers will advance to that final. Lawson, on

paper, is the one who is next as this after Murielle Ahoure, with

that 7.03 locking, X .99, Newell armour, last year in Birmingham. --

6.99. Only seven women have only gone and that seven second mark, not

even Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Sophie Papps, in lane five, , Gloria Asumnu

next to her. Away cleanly, perhaps not the best

that for Sophie Papps. It is warming up for the final, and excellent

semifinals. Again, we know about new Deal arm, but I think Gloria Asumnu

is a rising sun with her form. -- again we know about Murielle Ahoure.

But a good starter, I am not sure Sophie Papps was completely flat

out, but she is so good out of the blocks, giving that advantage. At

the 60m, if you have the luxury of being explosive naturally, would

contact with the flow, driving over the ten metres, all that power you

have worked on during the winter months in the gymnasium, then you

get the performance like this. Murielle Ahoure has gone under seven

seconds in her time and I think she will be close to that mark later on

this evening. It's printing from her, and I think Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce, this would be a very exciting prospect, assuming that

Shelley makes it through. -- Shelly-Ann. Very good times indeed

for Murielle Ahoure. Lawson has been given third place. Seven point 18 --

7.18. No guarantee that will be quick enough. Maybe Asha Philip, if

she can run seven point ten, she may still have a chance. That battle

7.10. The first round of the Long Jump

ear. Quite an open competition. Here is the least letter. Quite open, as

a sort many of these competitions. Here is Elise Leser.

Just going in quite carefully. But taking off in a ragged sort of way.

And that was misjudged. That is spot-on. But next time, I am sure we

will see hard drive straight down the middle. 6.72. She is in first

place. We have had the one semifinal so

far, to mark -- two more to come. So see -- Sophie Papps finished sixth.

Congratulations on a tremendous championships, your first major,

global one, there's no base yesterday, equipping yourself so

well. Yes, I was nervous coming in, but I have had a really good time

and everyone has made me feel welcome. Just easy to come out and

compete well. A bit disappointed today, but I will not make excuses,

because I am happy with how I have done throughout the competition. we

have talked on the BBC are by the selectors giving you the chance and

getting people like you to experience this and how much it will

benefit you going forward. Massively. I have never done in.

Competitions before, so the first one being indoor was big for me, but

massively helpful. I am glad they give me the opportunity, learning so

much and meeting new people who have given me such advice. Looking

forward to moving on with that advice. And getting inspired by the

likes of Richard Kilty? Yeah, amazing, one of the most exciting

things I have ever watched. I was waiting to go to bed, and my heart

was going, I was so happy for him, he reserved it -- deserve that. Well

done to you. Thank you. Yongli Wei, and indoor champion at

60m. Marta Jeschke of Poland, the indoor champion at 60m. She ran the

third leg of the Polish team which won the European 4x100 medal. Elaine

back, she is very talented. -- Ezinne Okparaebo. Dafne Schippers of

the Netherlands, formally known as a very good all-rounder. An excellent

heptathlete. Holder of the World Championship bronze medal. Tianna

Bartoletta of the USA, world Long Jump champion in 2005, formally

Tianna Madison. Verena Sailer of Germany, goals at two successive

European Championships. The 102,010 and the 4x100 in 2012. Natalia

Pohrebniak of the Ukraine, member of the sprint relay team. And

surprisingly out in lane eight, Veronica Campbell-Brown, the

defending World Indoor Championship, just on her way back.

-- defending world indoor champion. Difficult to see what condition

Veronica Campbell-Brown is in. She had her first race in seven points

to two seconds. Tianna Bartoletta in the centre, in the red, next to bed

and a sailor -- next to Verena Sailer.

Verena Sailer is a very quick starter, so is Veronica

Campbell-Brown. Tianna Bartoletta got well so did

Dafne Schippers, maybe the correct Campbell Brown got it? We will have

to wait for the photograph. Certainly Tianna Bartoletta and

Veronica Campbell-Brown almost together. I was going to pave Verena

Sailer some dishes back, thinking it would be the chance in the semifinal

-- some disrespect. She has been and beaten, but showing good, strong

form, taking the semifinal quite comfortably in a new personal best,

7.12. Great running by her. I think she will look forward to being one

of those medal contenders in the final. I expected Tianna Bartoletta

to go faster than that, but she did not have what it takes. And of

course, the former great sprinter, Veronica Campbell-Brown from

Jamaica, on her return competition, expected to be up there, and she is,

surely she is a true professional, with a season's best author plays.

-- for third place. Veronica Campbell-Brown will have to wait and

see if she makes it through to the final, meanwhile back in the Pole

Vault, Tina Sutej of Slovenia. And comfortable down. We are on 4.45

now. That is the target. Quite a neat vaulter, but wait ragged at the

top of the poll, but well clear there. -- but quite ragged. 4.45,

first-time clearance, she is in first place.

Also going on in the field this afternoon, the women's Long Jump

final, Shara Proctor as one British entrant, but let us look at the

first attempt of Katrina Johnson Thomson. You you see your score,

what someone has done, like my 6.75, not people knowing if that is my

full potential, so you do not know what shape these girls are in, so it

is interesting. It is like a single event, heptathlon, and I think I

will enjoy it. Have you improved the certain aspects of mentality?

Something you have worked with your coach? The Long Jump and High Jump,

I have tried to get my head around them, I think it is the High Jump

and Pole Vault, that your target is set there and what you have to get

over, whereas the Long Jump you just run and jump, and I had to get over

that the High Jump, forgetting the bar and focus on technique, and I

have always been comfortable in the Long Jump, never been nervous,

always feeling that that is naturally my best event. If I was

too big an event out of the heptathlon. But I am glad I am doing

it here at Sopot. Katarina Johnson-Thompson now. The first time

we have seen her in the programme. That is excellent. That is a very

good jump in deed. Her first round's jump was around X .60, or

thereabouts, and that looks a little better. -- 6.60. That will be good

enough to take the lead. She is over six foot tall. And there it is.

6.81, a new lifetime best, second on the British all-time list.

Ashley Philip said to go in the next them a final, next to her Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce -- Asha Philip. It is interesting to see hard here. People

like Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce did not come to any Championships if they do

not expect to win it. And she has seen Murielle Ahoure running very

fast indeed. And Asha Philip, with a great opportunity here, 7.09 her

season's best. Against Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, her best is 7.10. With

just two macro to go through, if Asha Philip can hang onto her

coat-tails, she has a great chance. Tahesia Harrigan-Scott of the virgin

islands, 7.17 this year. Lane six, Michelle-Lee Ahye, she will be a big

danger. Very close to a personal best in qualification, from Trinidad

and Tobago. 21 years of age. Former European junior and over 100m, this

is Yasmin Kwadwo from Germany. The athletes in the outside lane is

including Franciela Krasucki Brazil hero came through as fast as losers.

But talking fast as losers, there are two macros what's available. --

talking of fast as losers. And after the first hit, if Asha Philip does

not come in the top three, Devon .17- 7.18, or the fastest loser

spot. -- seven point stop so Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, in six, the

big change is really. Tahesia Harrigan-Scott with a lot of

experience. Asha Philip, still just 23, it seems as though we have been

talking about officer many years, after that bad injury, now finally

fulfilling her potential, trying to make the final.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce just maybe got it on the line. But Asha Philip,

excellent, but she be quick enough? She may well have got a fastest

loser 's spot. But how good was that? She knows Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce is a quick starter and she knew she could be anywhere

alongside her during any part of the race, that would mean she is running

well. She kept to the race plan, got into that lovely, smooth running

action that she has. She pushed all the way to the line. Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce, expected, she is the world and Olympic champion. She has

been here before, under pressure and delivered. Asha Philip 's from Great

Britain has equalled her personal best.

Yes, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce laying down her intent. Michelle-Lee Ahye,

she will also go through as fastest loner.

Now the Polish favourite. And she got it. That was good.

That was good technique at the end. Just gave it a rattle in the -- on

the way down, but not enough to dislodge the bar. She continues.

Well done, you've made the final. You came in with that aim. Yes, I

think there is more to come out of this. You have made a great start. I

don't even know what I did. I just tried to get out and hold it. I

wanted to hold my form and my race. You have to take each round of the

World Championships as it goes. But my head is much stronger and wiser.

I will let you go and get ready. We wish you all the very best. Thank

you. Hopefully, more to come in the

final. That final is at five past five, UK time.

Six times the Polish champion. Katarina Johnson-Thompson has

produced the jump of her life. That is around 6.40. Teresa Dobija

Just coming up for her third round jump.

The High Jump took on a whole new meaning yesterday. And now the

presentation. The bronze-medallist Ruth Beitia. She jumped the same

height as the gold-medallist, but had one more failure. She receives

her medal and flowers. The joint world indoor champion Maria

Kuchina. One less failure at two metres. And also from Poland, Kamala

Tsurenko -- Kamila Time to reflect a little bit on

those women's 60 Metres finals. Asha Philip and the way she acquitted

herself, what do you think? Super, absolutely super, what you wanted to

see. Her start was great. She just maintained it. She executed her race

perfectly. She was not fazed at raising against a double Olympic

champion. And she equalled her personal best. She did not know what

she had done? She was in the zone? It was a good solid performance. But

it is not always about reaction time, it is about what you do when

you put your feet on the floor. She has a good, powerful contact. She

can get into that beautiful, upgrade, fluid running style. That

style is God-given. If she can hold herself together in this final, it

she will be up there. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, she came

through in the same way. She is here to win. Absolutely, she has won

everything. She has come here with clear intention. Between now and

that final, anything can happen. Also, Muriel Murielle Ahoure. It is

great to see how now they can develop when they are confident. She

is comfortable and confident in her performance. She is ready for

action. She knows there is an opportunity for her to take this

title. That is the great thing about this event in these championships.

We have a genuine head-to-head for that medal. Yes, and there could be

a lot of heads. For me, Murielle, her sprinting look spotless at the

moment. The girls have to get their heads down, relax and allow their

forum to do the same thing. We have just heard that Veronica

Campbell-Brown has made it through as a fastest loser. Her first event

back, a controversial decision to have her back here, but she has made

the final. She looked rusty yesterday. Yes, but she is a

champion and she knows how to raise her game at the right moment. You do

not get to be a world and Olympic champion without knowing how to

raise your game. She's struggled yesterday in the heats. For her to

come back here now, on the outside lane, and to work her way through

the field shows her what a championship performer she is. Don't

be surprised if she runs better in the final. She is rusty. It can take

you a while to get into your groove. We have got more action coming up,

in your specialist event. The men's 60 Metres Hurdles. We have British

interest in William Sharman and Andy Pozzi. But first, a trip down memory

lane. The final of the 60 Metres Hurdles.

Colin God away well. -- got. He's the world indoor champion.

I can let you know at home that Holly Bleasdale is, beating in the

Pole Vault. We are very much at the mercy of our host broadcasters

here, as to how much we can assure you of Holly's competition. She has

cleared 4.45 at the third attempt. But she has since gone clear at

4.65. We were sure you as much as we can from every field event and try

to tell you all the stories that are going on today. That should be one

event the Polish want to cover? I have been watching Holly, at 4.45,

that was her third attempt. Some of the British team are behind us and

everyone had their hearts in their mouth. She has come to these

championships in good shape. She knows that there is an medal here

for her if she can just hold it together. Let's hope she continues

and can relax into the competition. Let's go back to the men's 60 Metres

Hurdles. Let's hope will shaman -- William Sharman and Andy Pozzi could

do the same. They looked comfortable before. The most important thing for

both young men is that they try to get to the final. Yes, we look

forward to it. Steve Cram now. Yes, two semifinals. Will Sharman

goes on the first. He goes in three. Douvalidis ran a personal best last

year. He could be running better this year.

Shabanov could be a danger. Will Sharman, I'd like the attitude

he has adopted for these championships. He just ran the heats

and got used to the track. Erik Balnuweit of Germany in lane

for. Osagie Osaghae, the American champion. A big danger to this man.

The French will bring to get a medal from Pascal Martinot-Lagarde. Wenjun

Xie, and Olympic semifinalist. And ballads Baji -- Balazs bAJI. And

it is just the top four here, nothing to do with asters losers.

Pascal Martinot-Lagarde been in superb form. -- nothing to do with

fastest losers. No Jeff Porter from the USA. And the Cubans still in

dispute with his federation. -- the Cuban.

William Sharman get so well. So does Erik Balnuweit. William Sharman

makes it. Pascal Martinot-Lagarde, as expected, seemed to take that

easily. William Sharman held on well together. The four athletes, I

presume they will go through, the ones we thought would go through,

they seem to have made it through. These are the two athletes we were

looking forward to. The US champion taking on the world leader from

France. I expect them to go a little bit quicker than that. 7.4 tonight

is a personal best for Omo Osaghae, but expected them to go closer to

7.45, Devon .44, which is the most important thing we want to see, --

7.44. William Sharman has booked his place comfortably into the final and

no doubt will be excited to be lining up later on. Still standing

in the arena watching the replays of that. Waiting to see confirmation. I

am not sure of the issues he is through. We can tell him he is.

Mary Saxer attempting this. Comfortably over. Still the Pole

Vault in the early stages of its development. Just makes it. Just

gave a little tickle there. I am sure she will be changing poles

soon. There we have it, four point 35. -- 4.55.

Congratulations on making the final, three major finals this year, the

first box ticked. Yes, always a pleasure to be here, they can to the

viewers and you back home. That was good, solid, my system is ready to

go, hit a few hard. And I know that cost me, because I felt people move

away and come back again, but I kept my composure and thought I would

spin those wheels, bringing all of those guys back in. Kept my cool,

spun the wheels, and those mistakes will cost you, you make one mistake

in 60 metre Hurdles, game over. So it is exciting. I will rest up and

come out again for the final and see who is who and what is what. As we

saw with Richard, anything is possible in the final. What a man,

Richard Kilty! I said to him, put your head down and work hard, you

have a lot of talent. Nice to see him fulfilling that finally. You

have a lot of talent, good luck in the final. Nice of you to say!

LAUGHTER. If he thought he won that, and I

love Will to bits, but he was a little bit of that in this sense of

winning it, but still through with a great shout, 7.53, getting through

the rounds, what any athlete wants. And Andrew Pozzi to come in this

next Demi final. -- semifinal. He goes in lane four in this event.

Gregor Traber, the German indoor national champion, twice the

national champion. Jhoanis Portilla, the lesser-known Cuban

hurdler. Dominic Berger, second in the US championship, representing

the University of Maryland, that was in 2006. He is here representing the

USA. Andrew Pozzi from Stratford on you than -- Stratford-on-Avon,

European junior medallist. Ran very well in his semifinal to make it

through. Sergey Shubenkov, world champion bronze medallist. Garfield

Darien. European silver medallist indoors and out. Dominik Bochenek of

Poland, world military champion, 7.83, a lifetime best of 13.44 4110

meter hurdles -- for the 110m hurdles. And Angela is -- and Andrew

Riley. Andrew Pozzi in lane four, desperate to make it through to the

final to join his colleague in that event.

Andrew Pozzi got away to a better start, but needed more. Garfield

Darien gets it, Andrew Pozzi I think take seven plays, -- take seven

plays -- takes second place, but a good run. I think he will be happy

with that, Garfield Darien of France, quality athlete, we have

seen him run in many locations outdoors and frightened his

competitors. You can see why he has taken this Demi final comfortably.

Andrew Pozzi after an early mistake, not setting themselves up for the

whole race, and he had to work his way through this whole field, but he

did that and qualified for the final. That is of course the most

important thing. And there is the winner Garfield Darien. He has been

confirmed as the winner, 7.52 seconds.

Ivana Spanovic for her third jump, looking very serious about it

indeed. Here she goes. It is not bad, around about .15 metres. Very

simple technique. -- it is around about six .50.

That was good. 6.71, very good, hard done best jump of the competition.

Eloyse Lesueur, in second place at the moment, can she go further than

6.72? Here she goes. I am not sure about that, but again,

she went over towards the left-hand side. Three centimetres shy of being

absolute maximum on the board. Fabiana Murer, 4.55 to stay in this

competition. And that is good. The early stages of the competition gave

as a very good idea as to what sort of shape they are in. Former world

champion indoor and out, so that is very good.

Well done on making the final, you clattered the first hurdle, fed a

couple of others. See if you can have a clean race in the final. A

pretty dreadful raise, out of the blocks well, but struggled and took

me awhile to build up speed, but I felt quick between the hurdles and

ran everyone down. Yes, impressive at that, so what is the mindset

before going to the final? Nothing much to do, just chill out, and

waiting. Thank you for talking to us, all the best for the final. The

macro thank you. Everyone tried to catch Katarina

Johnson-Thompson, no again for Eloyse Lesueur all stop --. That

could be 6.71. A very flat trajectory, still going to that

left-hand side. Still spot on the board.

I think she's got it. 6.85, ahead of Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Anna

Rogowska nope, still the favourite of this crowd, a huge tube was up

every time she vaults. And she gets it. She looks deadly serious,

doesn't she? -- a huge cheer goes up. That was excellent. Very good

indeed from Anna Rogowska. 4.65, first attempt.

Lots of final still to come, the men's 3000m next on the track, and

the women's 3000m final, Andrew ciggy in the men's final. -- Andrew

Osagie. And we will have the relays, with our men and women

representing, and hopefully we can add to our medal tally. And Holly

Bleasdale in the Pole Vault. And both of our women in the Long Jump

as well. two for the British men in the 60

Metres Hurdles, they are both through to the finals. Both getting

through with consummate ease. When you solve Andy Pozzi did, he hit

some hurdles and still came second. It was pretty sensational, a cause

you do not normally get away with that type of mistake. -- because. I

enjoyed his interview when he said to you that you do not need to do

anything but relax. It is a technical mistake, you can alter

that. He turned on the speed, he called on his reserve, his flat

speed to get through. How great that you do have that chance to rectify

the ROMs? Yes, and he has got lots of experience. He will know what he

needs to do. -- the Ron Locks -- rectify the wrongs. Half the work is

done. You cannot do much now. It is about relaxation, about that one

thing that will make a difference. Will Sharman is always a joy to talk

to. He is a real character, we love him. He is through and he has talked

all along about improving the first part of his race for the outdoor

season, and using this competition for that, and though he is through

to the final. -- and now he is. It is outstanding. People were thinking

he only finished third, but he is running so well. This is a good

foundation for him because it keeps him in contention with all the top

runners when it comes to outdoors. Many times, in hurdles, you need to

be there or thereabouts at the halfway stage. And he is there. And

he has great confidence. He does rise to the occasion. He really

does. And he could win it, you never know, there could be just one

mistake. But technically, he is very good at the moment, raising the bar

in terms of personal best. Time for some more action from the

Womens Pole Vault. A bit of a computer glitch earlier. Holly

Bleasdale is still in the competition, that is all we know for

now. Jirina Svobodoa now. Will it be

success at the first attempt? That is good! She has a lifetime

best of 4.71, so that is very good indeed.

Very good vaulting. She continues in the competition, no problem at all.

Silke Spiegelburg know of Germany. A slight problem at the side. Holy

Bleasdale prowling around in the background, she will go soon. But

here goes people but. -- Silke Spiegelburg. That was good.

It doesn't seem to matter what speed we are going at, she is always the

same. For .65. First attempt, that is good.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson lead for a while, during the second round. This

is her fifth jump. She came here as a multi-eventer.

That is what she is best known as. Here she goes in the Long Jump. It's

roundabout 6.70. Straight as a dive. That is a good

take-off. 6.68. She only has one jump to do

it. Next on the track, the men's 3000

metres final. We have Bernard Lagat in this race. He is trying to win

this for the fourth time. He just keeps getting better. He has been

showing already this year that he still has a lot of pace. This is

probably one of the best quality races here. Probably only Mo Farah

out of the big names is not here. He has got a job on his hands.

And a man 20 years his junior, Hagos Gebrhiwet, running as well. Yes,

quite a few to watch, Yes. Galen Rupp, I'm not sure if he

has got enough ammunition here. He was in really good shape earlier

this season. He looked really good in the heats.

What would you expect from Bernard Lagat in this race? He has to get

self in the right position with two or three laps to go. They can't

afford to let them get jumped on him -- a jump on him. He has to keep

themselves perfectly placed. He is making a final, what will he want to

do? When he lined up for the heat, his aim was to qualify for the

final. He has nothing to lose now. He is a very strong runner. I think

he will want to go out there and do himself justice. I think he would

like to see an honest run race rather than a tactical race. We have

the women's 3000 metres litre. -- later.

Shara Proctor about to take her last jump. It's all or nothing now.

Takes her time. She is very fast on the runway.

She needs to go in excess of 6.71 to get a medal. She blasted down the

runway. I don't know. I really don't know. She gets off white flag, that

is the important thing. What sort of distance how she got?

6.46. She will be disappointed with that. That is definitely fourth

place in the final. The last round. She has got one more

attempt to make it. If she does not get 6.81, it is a definite silver

medal for Great Britain. Spanovic. From Serbia. The Serbian

record-holder. Very fast. And Alex Goode. -- and that looks good.

The 3000 metres is an event which, I think, filling everybody with a lot

of expectation. That was definitely a good job.

6.77. The best jump of the competition, but it's not far enough

for Great Britain. Katarina Johnson-Thompson definitely has a

silver medal. Now she has this attempt to try and make a bit of

history. The first athlete to get victory in the Long Jump in the

World Championships. I do not think it is good enough. I

think it will be a silver medal for her.

There again, I haven't got the tape measure in my hands. Take-off has

been superb this year. It far enough? I don't think it is.

I think this has got it -- Eloyse Lesueur. Yes, she is definitely the

champion. France's first medal at the championships.

Eloyse Lesueur has been a fine champion.

The men's 3000 final, 12 member contest it, probably one of the best

fields ever assembled. Bernard Lagat attempting to win it for the fourth

time. A big danger from Ethiopia, Hagos Gebrhiwet.

here is Hagos Gebrhiwet. We were talking about what they all need to

do. They all need to be at the front of the bell. It will be interesting

to see how they try to manufacture that. The two Ethiopians are not as

wily as this guy, Bernard Lagat. For times he could win this title, the

first time still running for tenure. -- Kenya. He became an American

citizen, lived there for ten years now. He has represented them

brilliantly. There is Dejen Gebremeskel, sometimes let himself

down. If you let them talk about it, he said he lost the gold medal in

the Olympic Games, because he was in the wrong place, filling around at

the back, -- fooling around. Galen Rupp, you wondered if he has done

his best running this year, the Americans will be hoping not. Caleb

Mwangangi Ndiku, I think he is the biggest danger, and massive talent

at 300 metres, and beaten at 3000 this year. And he is quick. Very

quick. And as Bernard Lagat, at the age of 39, quick enough to hold the

body of? Do men's 3000m final 15 laps of the track, Andrew Vernon of

Great Britain has done very well, Collis Birmingham, his training

partner, India. -- his training partner here. Some hard racing for

some of these guys just to get into this I know, and I do not think any

of the big names that the back will want to do anything to early. I was

going to say I agree with you, that no one would make a move, just

taking the first lap to see who would do what, and no one prepared

to do that. Hayle Ibrahimov is capable of leading it out. Whether

that will sacrifice his chances later, we do not know. Maybe he is

hoping if he goes to the front, someone else will come along and do

something about it. Andrew Vernon, will he have the confidence to run

it hard from the start? He is giving it a goal and he does not want it to

be a jog around, maybe wanting to do himself justice and see how high up

the can get. Absolutely, this is a World Championship final, you want

to place as high as you can, quite obviously, and Andrew Vernon keeping

the pace. Dejen Gebremeskel wanting to do that too. Caleb Mwangangi

Ndiku not as quick, especially when compared to Bernard Lagat. And the

likes of the next school. And I think the only danger of Ndiku is

his race brain, maybe not switching on and concentrating when he needs

to. You can run well, and this is a perfect distance, particularly at

this time all year. As long as he does not let others get ahead of

them, he could be a matter danger. 3000m is the perfect distance for

him to test themselves. He has talked about moving up to 5000,

saying something along the lines, that that guy Farah needs to be

tested. Certainly confident, but he needs to have some of the tactical

brain to get himself in the right position to go with that confidence.

And he could be a really big danger. 2.48 for the first kilometre, very

slow for these guys. Fabiana Murer, 4.55 is the target.

Very, very steady. So relaxed. Measuring out her hand placement

very precisely. So here we go. -- 4.65. She is a former world

champion. So she knows her way around. And 4.65, just about get

set. Well done. Manages to stay on their all right. -- just about gets

it. Very fine jumping indeed. Just tipped it with her leg, and then

with her chest as well. But manages to clear. A very good job. Fabiana

Murer stays in. Not too much change in the 3000m,

pretty slow. A little bit of jostling. Ndiku has moved up, and we

are into the 1500m running. And Bernard Lagat, has he still got the

pace? But for Dejen Gebremeskel, still back in the pack, they must

know, with each lap that goes by, the big kickers have a better chance

here. If he is going to be at the front, he has to go faster. What we

did miss was he put in quite a surge there. Some reactions to Hayle

Ibrahimov going to the front. The pace has been very up and down. One

thing we need to watch yesterday with the 1500m, there were three

disqualifications in the women's race and one in the men's, and it is

on the infield. It is very easy to head the cones. And this could be

the first time having a sustained pace. Zane Robertson deciding that

was enough. But look at Ndiku, really up there, Dejen Gebremeskel

right at the back, and he needs to be careful, done this too many times

before, and they are starting to gather with four labs to go. Andrew

Vernon just tipped on the inside. Can he picked up -- pick-up? Dejen

Gebremeskel realising he needs to take closer order, moving up on the

outs died. Bernard Lagat is going to get himself in the right place. Some

almost in lane three going around that then, making sure they are in

the right position, Andrew Vernon trying to move on the outside.

Bernard Lagat let Galen Rupp go by, an opportunity to get in the top

three. I would like to be at the front controlling it, which is what

Ndiku is doing. A good spot for Dejen Gebremeskel, right behind

Ndiku, who can wind it up from the front, Bernard Lagat getting to get

close, can he make it four in a row? They are starting to struggle. Ndiku

still at the front, it is the bell this time, tenure, America, then the

two Ethiopians, Ndiku taking hard, a thing if Bernard Lagat has enough,

and Bernard Lagat still there, with the jazz to make this four world

titles. -- with the chance. As Ndiku run his leg side? Taking out. Ndiku

is going to win this. It is the title for Kenya. Bernard -- Erno

Blagg at his second. -- Bernard Lagat is dating. He is a real

character is Caleb Mwangangi Ndiku, succumbs out with some odd comments

at times. Let us see what his message will say. You are not

supposed to do that, but he is a character. He is one to watch. This

lad is a real talent. I think he could do well at 1500m. Maybe a

choice to make by moving up to 5000, but this will not convince him it is

a bad idea. With the exception of Mo Farah, he has beaten some of the

best in the world. Absolutely, and he could be a chance to Mo, maybe

our 5000m, but getting himself into the right position there. He got

ahead of the elder statement in Bernard Lagat, managing to hold him

up and stay there down the home straight. I told you he was just

warming up yesterday with the hat on, once he lost that, he was ready

to get out and race. He will have grown from confidence. You can see

on the face of Bernard Lagat's face, real surprise, thinking he could

close down on Ndiku. We have been wondering when we would

need Jennifer Suhr. 4.65 Is the target. This is her first vault in

the competition. That is good. Safely over and she really makes the

arena hard on. -- her own. It has been a long, long time

coming. 4.65 no problem at all, the competition really starts here.

Holly Bleasdale has gone out, unfortunately. 4.65 at the first

attempt looks very safe indeed. Yarisley Silva, the Olympic silver

medallist, and really has come on strong since then. 4.46 was her

lifetime best. Coming in here. And that is good. 4.70. Indoor pole

vaulting, I am sure, is alien to the Cubans, but she has made a good,

4.70 metres, a new season's breasts. -- new season's best. That was good

vaulting. I beg pardon, it was for .65. -- 4.65.

Look at that flag being unfurled, the massive Kenyan flag. Will he lie

on it? What is he going to do? While he celebrates, we can celebrate what

was written's first medal of these World Indoor Championships last

night. The Ukrainian will present the medals. Just for a second, I

think I thought, and I think Tiffany Porter thought she had won the

silver medal, but it was the bronze, very close in the end, but what a

performance, saving hard best of the season to when it mattered most. --

her best. 7.86, season's best, worker than she has all the year.

Just missing Sally Pearson. I know she was annoyed, saying she started

up, the sort of comment you might expect from an Aussie, not happy at

all, looking in supreme form. And stung like a butterfly, a long that

sort of line, Nia Ali taking the gold. Stung like a bee, exactly!

Taking the gold medal, Nia Ali, brilliant performance, personal

best, called for the United States. -- gold.

So good to see Tiffany Porter delivering a medal for Great Britain

and Northern Ireland. She has developed competing for Great

Britain, she has got better and better. Set aside the injury

problems and this is the real Tiffany Porter. She is able to come

to these championships and keep delivering. I am delighted. She has

been more consistent than ever before. The future is bright for

her. We have seen another British medallist in Catalina -- Catalina

Johnson -- Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Yes, she is the

real deal. The world will have to watch out. The mind boggles where

she can go with the heptathlon. She is just so level-headed and fiercely

competitive. You saw that. She really wanted to take that title.

She was really going for it. I am delighted for her and excited at the

prospect of what she can go on and do. 6.81. She was so disappointed to

have missed the pentathlon. I think I said to you on Friday that she

will not want to come here and leave empty-handed. She is fiercely

competitive. Her coach has to keep her expectations in place. I watch

her on the runway, she is so strong and so quick. She has got great flat

speed anyway. And when it comes to the heptathlon

outdoors, she says she has two great events anyway, but her Shot Put is a

bit weak. No one can be brilliant at all seven disciplines. Even the best

have a few weaknesses. Those two strong events, she can rely on them.

The Shot Put does the work. She does not want to have any signs of

weakness. But up to 14 metres, 14.5 metres, I think she will challenge

in the future. We hope to hear from her later on. Apologies once again

for the coverage of Holly Bleasdale, we did not see her go out. This is

the medals table. It makes good reading for Britain.

And we have got good chances to come later on in the relays. Two men in

the final of the men's as well. We had hoped for and metal from bash

for an model from Laura Muir. -- for a medal from Laura Muir.

Laura Muir started out well. And Laura Muir almost falls. Just

needing to not panic. They all came across and there was a little bit of

pushing and shoving and Laura Muir got caught up in it. But she is

still on her feet, thank goodness. Laura was trying to get in position

to hold that the, but she was not able to get there. She kept her

composure, she recovered. Now she is moving herself up.

I think Laura is in a good place. She has got good strength. The

winner will go through. It is going to be the Russian who takes it on.

Laura Muir just needs to be careful here. Hinriksdottir, she is fading

away. And no response from Laura Muir. That is disappointing. They

are moving away from her. The young slide deck -- young Icelandic

athlete is responding well. The Polish athlete, taking a big win

here. Hinriksdottir, then Laura Muir.

So now Laura Muir in this women's 300-metre final. A huge cheer for

Angelika Cichocka. Chanelle Price of the USA will be one of the Americans

who got through. She may well be the front runner here. Selina Bucher of

Switzerland, the surprise package year. She came through with a big

finish. Nataliia Lupu, her experience may tell. She is the

European indoor champion. She also looked pretty good in qualification.

Two athletes we haven't seen. Marina Arzamasova and Lenka Masna of Czech

Republic in lane two. The womens 800m final. Really a question of

what sort of tactics will be employee. Chanelle Price sometimes

likes to get out and control things. But it is a question of how

you feel on the day. She has taken it on with intent. Yes, I think she

started hard with the intention of getting to the front. She will have

gone out at a pretty decent pace. Those two have a little bit of a

gap. Cichocka is tracking her. She has great experience. Yes, they will

want to run or paced race. Cichocka has come through a gap. It has

slowed. Chanelle Price is good at this, maintaining this please.

Arzamasova still in second place. Cichocka has to go wide now.

Chanelle Price is still in front. Very strong, the American. Here

comes Nataliia Lupu, who looked out of it at the bell. She is attacking

on the outside. It is all about the American. Chanelle Price kicking

away. Her legs are beginning to tire. Price wins it, Cichocka gets a

silver and there was some tired legs are there. Well done, Chanelle

Price. Front running, to get on. The others sat back, thought they could

get past. She did really well, she led that. Anything she learned a

little bit from watching Montana lead races like this in the past.

Nataliia Lupu was unfortunately. It looks as if Arzamasova on the strode

on her foot -- almost trod. Gays who beat Chanelle Price in

Glasgow at the beginning of this season at the Emirates early in?

Laura Muir. -- guess who beat. I always like to see athletes like

Chanelle Price rewarded for taking it out like that. Excellent when.

Cichocka will be happy with her silver medal. I think she did not

attack the race enough. She should have been closer to Chanelle Price.

We will have to wait to see if the result is made official. At the

moment, Arzamasova has the bronze. Cichocka celebrating beer. And she

deserves to. Can pull and grab a medal in the men's 800 metres -- can

Poland grab a medal in the men's 800? She ran that race perfectly.

Arzamasova celebrating that bronze medal. Looking at it again, I think

the legs of Nataliia Lupu did just go from her, there was no impeding.

So Marina Arzamasova does have the bronze.

What a night last night. Apparently, you could have got

boards of 33 to one four Richard Kilty to have won the gold medal --

33/1 for. He had to wait for a while to know

if he had the bronze. There were three men all given the

same time. Marvin Bracy, the 20-year-old from the United States.

The former college footballer who has turned his attention to track

and field. He is a big talent. Silver medal for him.

Great Britain can celebrate the gold medal of Richard Kilty. What a

journey it has been for him. You heard in his interview some of the

trials and tribulations that he has been through, but all athletes have

to go through. But he has believed in himself and he is now the world

indoor champion. CHEERING.

A wonderful moment for Richard Kilty. And his family, his support

team, his coach, making the move to Loughborough. His new coach will

take some of that credit as well. He joins that elite club of 6.50 or

better for indoors. And more importantly, though world indoor

champion, with a gold medal around his neck, I bet it's these there for

a long time. -- I bet it stays there.

a long time. -- I bet it stays Still plenty of excitement to come

this afternoon in Sopot at the world indoor champion is -- World Indoor

Championships... Big British medal hopes in both the

relay finals. And in the women's 60 metre final. And Will Sharman and

Andrew Pozzi also coming up. And next is the women's 3000m, with

Genzebe Dibaba, who said three world records in the space of 15 days.

A special athlete! NZ aid the banner of Ethiopia! -- Genzebe Dibaba of

Ethiopia! It is all about NZ bid above -- it

is all about Genzebi Dibaba of Ethiopia. Genzebi Dibaba breaks the

world best for two miles. Three world records in little over two

weeks. Paul and Steve in the commentary box

ready to call this final. It looks like it could be a procession for

Genzebi Dibaba. But it into context how good she is? Just if you look at

the second world record, the only people who have ever run faster eyed

doors and the Chinese girls, and no one else has come close. -- run

faster outdoors. Even if she runs 15-18 seconds slower, she would run

a championship record, standing at 8.33 from 1989. I do not think we

will see another world record. But we could championship record. We

have also seen Tirunesh Dibaba doing well, now for younger sister, give

me your take on how good her younger sister is, indeed the family

dynasty. She is different, great talent at 1500m talent. They trained

with different camps. Genzebi is attacking her career from a

different standpoint. Does she stick with 1500, where she is perhaps the

world's best, or take on the 5000 or 10,000? We will wait and see. But

for now, it is just 3000m. What would you do, Paula? She has

this great ability at 1500m, but could run fast that 5000. She good,

but I wonder if she is cool in that trap, a brilliant 3000m runner, but

could she stay with the likes of her older sister? And no race this year

from Dafar, because she is pregnant. Maybe the chance that it is an off

year gives Genzebi the chance to try out different things and see is she

a 5000 runner or more of 1500 runner? Another runner, and there

are some good athletes in this. , -- such as Maryam Yusuf Jamal. And the

likes of Gabrielle Grunewald, formerly Anderson. Just a question

of Genzebi wants to do here, you would think. -- just a question of

what Genzebi wants to do. And she starts slowly. Just seeing if anyone

will challenge, making it a tough race, or will she be a -- will she

be allowed to dominate? Maybe someone doing something to make it

into an honest race, but at the moment, it does not look like anyone

is willing to do that. Maryam Yusuf Jamal at the front, but at jogging

pace. My worry is everyone else thinks they are running for second,

wants to win a medal, why not commit? Then you have the likes of

Hellen Onsando Obiri, a good case medallist outdoors, she will be

thinking, if I am not going to win this, I want to be second, and I can

use my cake as well. And the likes of Hiwot Ayalew, not fast at the

latter stages, and what about the Americans? Shannon Rowbury has shown

she can kick. Gabrielle Grunewald, she did not look great in

qualification. I agree, she did not, I watched the tape of horror winning

in Albuquerque in the American indoors and she closed very fast

there. -- I watched the tape of her. The wanted catchers such was her

speed. This is Yarisley Silva, at 4.70 now, the bar moving upwards. A

fight we thought they had reached a little while ago, but it was only

4.65. So it is 4.70 now. So here we go. Oh, That is good! That is very,

very good indeed! Very vocal in her support. It is not very tall, but a

good push off the top, making up for her lack of height. Absolutely

excellent. So immediately having a word with her coach and goes into

the lead with a 4.70 clearance at the first attempt. And this is

Anzhelika Sidorova, attempting for .75 -- attempting 4.70 for the

second attempt. So here we go. Needs to get this to stay in the mix for

the medals. That is a good volt! Very good indeed. -- vault! So many

of them have come from the world of gymnastics. And Anzhelika Sidorova

is another one. That is good. Very good from hard, 4.70 at the second

attempt. The first 1000 was pretty slow.

Hiwot Ayalew deciding to do something here. She got caught in

the end in a previous race. I think she may be a little burned from that

experience in the world cross-country, drug running,

building a sizeable lead, then could not maintain it over the final --

cross country running. Maybe that made her a little more scared to

attack this race, but more so that she is anticipating and in awe of

Genzebi Dibaba. I think she was frustrated with the pace they were

jogging at. Jirina Svobodova no trying to join

the others at 4.70, second attempt. She is enjoying the form of her

life, and just gets it! That is good. A lifetime best is just one

centimetre higher than this. That is an excellent vault. Just gave it a

knock on the way up, but not sufficient to dislodge it. That was

good. 4.70, second attempt, and it is successful. Fabiana Murer now,

for .70 at the third attempt. -- 4.70. She has got to get this one to

stay in, and she gets it. The former world champion, not a world champion

for nothing. That was excellent vaulting. Good stuff. Goodness me,

how many of these are we going to see? Well done, Fabiana Murer,

staying in at 4.70. That Pole Vault signal reaching its

climax, and so is this women's 3000m final, Genzebi Dibaba going to the

front. Injecting enough pace to split this field. Hellen Onsando

Obiri is behind her. The Americans have gone off the pace, but Shannon

Rowbury trying to keep them some sort of contact. Yes, I think

Shannon Rowbury was caught behind Gabriel Rune bal. Then Genzebi

Dibaba went to the front. She picked up the pace. Shannon Rowbury is now

starting to try and close a little on the back as they move away, but I

think she has missed the break, which is sad, as 3000m is an event

where she could do well. The second 1000 was 2.51, 30 seconds quicker

than the first stop and look at this, Dibaba puts her foot down for

the first time. Four have pulled away with just over 400m to go, and

Dibaba shows her class. Just picking it up all the time. Sifan Hassan

settles for the battle for silver as Dibaba heads inexorably for the

gold medal. The first time fun expression shows she is working, and

this 15-20 metre gap opens, really impressive. And these girls behind

always knew they were running for a second and now it is about getting

into the right positions in that pack for silver. That is no way they

are going to get the record here. no doubt about our winner. Was there

any question that it would be Genzebe Dibaba? Now she can add the

world indoor title to the rest she has one.

8.55 the winning time. It was never going to be a championship best

performance, but it was a good closing last three or four laps from

Dibaba. A little surprising looking at that, the pace she kicked away

at. easy it just looks so easy for her there.

She does have options going forward. 3.55 indoors. She enjoys her indoor

running. The Kenyan men took gold in the

men's 3000 metres, but it is Ethiopia's gold in the women's

event. Tirunesh Dibaba, I think is still on

to run the London Marathon this year. Her older sisters are

pregnant. Yes, Tirunesh Dibaba is preparing for the London Marathon.

She was supposed to run last year, but kicked up an injury. A lot of

anticipation around what she can do. Medal ceremony for Long Jump women.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson on the left-hand side. She came here as a

multi-eventer, specialising in the Long Jump. No doubt about that now.

6.77, Ivana Spanovic of Serbia gets the bronze medal.

Just four centimetres shy of Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Katarina

Johnson-Thompson wins the silver medal for Great Britain.

That is an unexpected victory. But she will think she should have won

it. Eloyse Lesueur is the champion. Just four centimetres further than

Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Congratulations to Katarina

Johnson-Thompson, another fine medal for Britain. We have seen Genzebe

Dibaba, one of the stars of world athletics, deliver what we expected.

I think the other girls did not take the race to her. They are all a

little bit afraid and waiting to see what she does. She did not hit the

front until halfway in the race. She was able to impose herself after

that. You said, with about 400 metres to go, you see a different

look on her face, when a bit of extra effort went into it. I spent a

lot of time racing the Ethiopians and it is difficult to tell how much

effort they are putting in at times. But she was working there. Around

2.38 kilometres, even Genzebe Dibaba has to work hard. Now she can look

forward to the outside season and what she might do the. -- do there.

Eye would love to see her race over 5000 metres. It is a quieter year

for the Ethiopian runners in terms of championships. That means it she

has room to play around. Let's talk about the womens 800m.

That last lap from Chanelle Price, she was out in front all the way,

but the determination to hold all the runners often.

Yes, it was a perfectly judged race. She held it and maintained it. The

others had not got themselves into enough contact to make any impact on

her. Another medal for Poland. This stadium erupts when that happens. We

might see more in the men's 800. Yes, definitely. With live indoor

ski, Silva leaves this to stay in the

competition. She is still tying for first place. In fact, it could be

first. She has got one failure. That could make the difference between

first and second. Sidorova and Svobodova tying for second place.

That could be good enough for the gold medal.

Fabiana Murer. A former world champion indoors and out. She needs

the height to stay in the competition.

Three failure is at 4.55 -- three failures at 4.55. A big

disappointment for her because that means she is out of the medals.

This is the only athlete left in who has a chance. She passed on 4.70.

Just one failure. Sorry, just one success at 4.65. This is for the

gold medal. She has missed it. That means she is

out of the medals. Equal fifth place with Rogowska.

Just a replay there. Knocked it out on the way up. That is a big

disappointment for her. She cannot believe it.

There is the champion, 4.70. The Mens High Jump final is taking

place here. Even Stefan Holm is the world indoor

champion. A celebration for the Swede. What a performance! You can

see just what that means to him. Hopefully, we will get to see some

of that Mens High Jump final shortly.

The men's 800, we have touched on it already. Let's talk about Andrew

Osagie. I would love to see him come away from this with a medal. He is

often not given the respect he deserves for the performances he has

given at major championships. He is one of those people that rises to

the occasion. Sometimes, you does not have the confidence to believe

the she PSN. I believe he is in good shape coming in. -- the shape he is

in. I hope he will be able to pull something back and put himself in

the right position to try and win the race. Anything could happen. In

the 800 metres race, it does not always go but the favourites. Just

to get to the final was an achievement, let's see how he

managed to do that. Andrew Osagie are loving the Kenyan

to move to the front. -- allowing. He had a bad injury during the World

Championships last season. A quick first 200. Osagie sitting and

waiting here. Yes, doing a good job here. It looks as if he is just

tracking and hoping to follow the leader of the roof. He is giving

himself every chance. -- follow the leader through. Andrew Osagie just

watching. They are both looking good here. The Polish athlete and the

British athlete. They are sitting on their shoulder of the leader. Then

comes the first real push to win this. Andrew Sidey follows him. --

Andrew Osagie. Really stretching it out. Andrew Osagie still right

there. The winner is guaranteed a place. He sees the danger but might

have enough to hold him off. Osagie is second. Andrew Osagie makes it

through. And he did everything right, did not put a foot wrong.

Now for some of the men's High Jump, Andrew Osagie's raise coming up

soon. We have seen them clear that height of 2.32, at the second

attempt, and knows he needs to achieve that, otherwise he could

struggle to get a medal. Let's go, second attempt. He's got

it! That's a very good attempt indeed. He reckons not. But that

looks pretty good to me. Erik Kynard, having had success all

the way up to 2.29, has had problems with this height. This is a second

attempt for him. Coming in from the offices died. This time he gets it.

-- coming in from the opposite side. He gets it just. Just give it a

rattle, but that was good enough. So now, on the track, the men's

800m. Talking about Andrew Osagie and his prospects. This is a very

high-quality field. Two excellent Polish competitors, the place will

erupt if they do well. Mohammed Salah man is the favourite and stop

Thijmen Kupers a surprise inclusion to the family. Family? Vinyl! Let's

call it a family since they know each other so well. Marcin

Lewandowski, unfortunate for in previous competitions. He is a

champion from 2010. That backdrop unfortunate for him. -- unfortunate

for him in previous competitions. He is a champion from 2010 and a huge

welcome for him. And the man who is the world indoor and outdoor

champion, Mohammed Ahmed and of Ethiopia, still just 20, he is the

favourite. -- Mohammed Aman. First season of indoor running, Andrew

Oliver, taking to it so well. 1:44:99, In his first race in

Birmingham, behind Aman. And also in that race, finishing fourth, giving

a gauge of what he is up against, as the three men who beat him at all

here, and Andrew running a personal best in that race. Can he get into

the top three here? The third man ahead of him, as well as Aman and

Olivier, was Adam Kszczot. You saw the great pace he had in that

earlier clip. You feel that Andrew Osagie is either going to be a head

of Andrew Oliver, -- Andre Olivier. A lot of expectation. From this home

crowd. This is an event they think they can win two medals in. Marcin

Lewandowski and Adam Kszczot. Can anyone get past Aman? 800 final. The

first question is who goes off quickest? It is Thijmen Kupers,

which you might expect, the Dutchman very quick. They are not hanging

around. This is very quick. Andrew Osagie at the back, doing a smart

thing not going off too hard. And they start to settle, what a 100m

that was. Andrew Osagie doing well, not panicking, as everyone was

rating down, especially Adam Kszczot, and now Andrew is in a

reasonable position. Does not want to drift to the outside, as he tries

to find his way through there. Olivier going right to challenge

Thijmen Kupers. Andrew got up there, then sat back again. Now he has

Olivier on the shoulder of the leader, Aman attacking for the first

time on the outside. Marcin Lewandowski let's get past the stock

Andrew needs to get closer to the action. Marcin Lewandowski doing

well. Aman trying to work to get back on level terms. And it is

Poland one, two, Andrew Osagie tried to attack down the back straight.

Aman blocked on the inside, but getting a bit of room, Andrew Osagie

takes the inside line. It is Adam Kszczot try to hold off Aman,

attacking on the out wide, and the defending champion coming, Andrew

Osagie tried to get a medal, Aman will get there, Adam Kszczot takes

silver, and I think Marcin Lewandowski got the bronze. It was

an untidy raise, at least they had a go, -- and tidy race. I think Andrew

will look back at this and think, I left it too late, should have been

more involved, finished as quick as anybody, but you cannot keep doing

that, Andrew, if you want to win a medal. I sound harsh, but perhaps

him and his coach will look at that thinking it was close. He was coming

fast, Marcin Lewandowski was fading, but may be rewarded for

attacking early. I think Andrew will think he made two mistakes, coming

round with 100m to go, just slotting back behind Olivier instead of wide

around him, the wrong position, finishing fast but opening the gap

would open up. And Marcin Lewandowski is not stupid, he will

hold that and I think Poland got their two medals. CHEERING. And that

big cheer because it went up on the big stream. -- big screen. Andrew

Osagie ran a good grades. I am only being critical, because I feel for

him. -- ran a good race. Medal opportunity just slipped by there.

That disappointment will take a little longer to sink in than some

other races he was close, because that was not perhaps his greatest

tactical race, and Andrew and his coach will think that is a chance

gone. Mutaz Essa Barshim going clear that

was fabulous. He has been top of the pile ever since about 2.25-2.29.

Now, can Erik Kynard respond to that wish just got the one glitch against

his record, 2.32, a failure, and then our success. It is no 2.34.

Erik Kynard of the United gets. -- it is now 2.34. Olympic silver

medallist, and he gets it. They are putting together a fabulous High

Jump competition now. The promoters have been waiting to get the likes

of Erik Kynard, Ivan Ukhov, and Mutaz Essa Barshim together. And

they have had to wait until now. Meanwhile, it is Poland's day in the

stadium. They won a medal in the Women's's

800, and no two. Andrew Osagie wondering about whether Marcin

Lewandowski stepped. Maybe he can tell is what he thinks. Gold to

Ethiopia. Aman defending his title well. He had to fight so hard. The

Polish competitors taking off Andrew Osagie. I think Andrew might be with

Phil. He is. Tremendous effort. They

always give you all. If you could raise the game again, what would you

do differently? The hour probably win a medal! I try to stay on the

outside. -- probably win a medal! I caught a bit of movement and got in

the wrong lane, and I did notice, to be honest, one of the Polish

athletes put his foot inside the line. Inside the track. Was that

Marcin Lewandowski? I'll macro I think so. I did it in my trials. But

it is part and parcel of racing. As for your rejecting forward --

projecting forward, and we are seeing the incident on the screen

now. The rules are the rules. It is a horrible way to win if I do. Do

you learn lessons from every race you do? You do not know quite higher

will go -- how it will go tactically? Yes, today was not my

best, not disastrous, because you never know the way it will go, that

kind of raise, but I take heart from making another final. -- that kind

of race. Eye and supple kissing on hopefully winning medals in the

future. -- and hopefully I can focus on winning medals in the future.

By Q4 speaking to us. Thank you. The medal ceremony for the 800. This

is Caleb Mwangangi Ndiku, doing so well, beating Bernard Lagat, who was

very gracious in defeat. And at the other end of respect of his career,

not the end of an ugly gat, -- not the end of earners like that -- not

the end of Bernard Lagat. APPLAUSE.

And the bronze medal for Dejen Gebremeskel, not with the finish she

thought he had. It was a good race. Galen Rupp finishing strongly for

fourth. But no fourth title for Bernard Lagat. I think he will be

happy with that silver, though. When you get to 39, every time you get on

the rostrum must be a bonus. You can always come back and have another

go. Devalue cough -- Ivan Ukhov. That is

superb. That was a brilliant performance. He is good in flight,

he is good intake of over the bar. Good in timing as well.

You could not wish for anybody as experienced as Oprea.

Some way behind the board. Couldn't quite keep the job going, but it's

not bad. -- jump. It is quite a low standard of competition, but never

mind. 17.02, he is in first place for the time being.

Lyukman Adams now. That was pretty good. That looks good.

I am pleased to say that Britain has another medal. The person that

delivered the latest is alongside me, Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

Congratulations, a tremendous performance. How does it feel? It

feels great, I came here with no expectations at all. I can't believe

I have one might first silver medal -- I have won my first. There was a

slight disappointment in not making the pentathlon, that was because you

were ill. But you were able to switch event. Yes, but I am glad I

was able to step up on the stage in the Long Jump. I think my qualifying

round just now, I was able to stay in the groove and come out and give

it my all. I was actually winning at one point. The French athlete was

the best at the end of the day. Yes, you were a few centimetres of

her. Talk us through this particular jump. What worked for you in this

jump? My coach told me I had to run at the board more. I tried to work

that out and did not even think about landing when I was in the air.

We were talking earlier about the two events, Long Jump and High Jump

together. You were saying your shot but is still a bit weak, and your

response was? Having those two main events in your back pocket, opens up

the heptathlon for you. I do that you have that at the back of your

mind -- I know. But the best long jumpers have also done Long Jump

outside of heptathlon. Hopefully, in the summer, I will be able to show

that I am consistent in the jumps. Last year, my personal best was

6.51. I just need to make sure that I am consistent in the jumps and

keep on building up the throws. I am the world Long Jump senior

silver-medallist. You do...? I have been desperate to go to that event.

The heptathlete world event -- multi event World Championships. And are

you looking forward to the Commonwealth Games? Yes, the

Commonwealth Games is my main focus for the year, that is where I am

doing the heptathlon. It is great to have that next ability and those

options. I think it is a good idea. I remember my first Commonwealth

Games, it was the choice of do you do both of them? There is such a

short turnaround to recover from one heptathlon to the next. It is great

to be in that position. The European championships come round every two

years now so you will get an opportunity in the heptathlon

eventually. I just want to be competitive in Glasgow and with the

girls on Friday. From two fantastic multi-eventers to another great

heptathlete from Britain who is sadly not going to be competing for

us this year. Jessica Ennis. Much much better from Jessica Ennis.

Crunching down the home straight. 25 metres between them. Jessica Ennis

is looking tired. She is revive in the spirit of Berlin here. She is

pushing for the line, refusing to yield. It is gold again for Jessica

Ennis. That is much better from him. If

that is confirmed, it is a jump of well over 70 metres. -- 17 metres.

17.5 metres in actual fact. That is good.

17.33, it has torn this competition wide apart. That is definitely in

the lead. I then you cough -- Ivan Ukhov. That was easy. He is going

over quickly to find out about something going on, I'm not sure

about what. That is excellent. 2.34 first attempt.

Is he going to maintain his 100% record? Yes, he is. He just gave it

a rattle, but not enough to dislodge it. My goodness. That was miles

above that. His hips came down on the bar. 2.36, that is magnificent.

He has seen that 2.34 is not enough. He has got two feel years. --

failures. What has he got? It is going to be a

lifetime best, he has got it! That is brilliant. His lifetime best

indoors is 2.33. He has done very well indeed to jump that height.

That was brilliant. He rattled it once again, but so far so good for

Barshim. He really has got the bit between his teeth. He has a lot of

confidence as well. On the track, the women's four x 400

metres relay. What an event we have in prospect. Great Britain are the

defending champions. This is a race which could go to anyone. I'm not

sure that the Russians will be good enough. I think America will be

tough, they have an excellent team full of experience and new talent.

For Great Britain, Eilidh Child, Sheena Cox -- Shana Cox. Christine

Ohuruogu will be on the last leg. The Jamaican team, if you were not

British, you would think they would be the favourite. Verone Chambers,

Anneisha McLaughlin, Natoya Goule, Stephenie-Ann McPherson. Last time

round, it was Great Britain beating the USA and Russia for the medals.

But they might need to go quicker to win it this time. A real "Ooh!" Goes

around. We have not had a already. -- we have not had a false start

before. If that is Jamaica, I cannot believe that. If that is Patricia

Hall old Jamaica, and they get disqualified,

open and he is walking over to which lane? Lane three. Her team, if this

is going to be a disqualification, and it may well be. It is yellow.

Well, well, well! Not even she understands what that means. It

means she is very lucky. Why would not have been a false start? To me,

it should have been a disqualification. Yellow marker --

they can use their discretion, just warning the athlete to be steady.

The starter's pistol went off there. I think that happened in the men's,

almost running a fool 100m before being called. I do not remember

whether it was the individual or it was the relay. Hopefully,

everybody, starter included, can settle down here. And they are not

happy. Just before the recall gun went in that very first race, the

starter did not even have begun up, I could see where he was, and he had

not even raised his gun, so you can imagine the huge frustration. Now

they are messing around with the blocks of the athletes, making sure

they are completely plug them, so some technical issues here. --

completely plugged in. Everything else in the stadium has stopped for

this, obviously. Those for the High Jump still out on the outside. It is

Poland, Nigeria, Jamaica, Russia, United States and Ellis Child in

Lane six. -- Eilidh Child. Ah! Was that the starter's gun! I think they

have a problem here. I think they do. I was watching to see what could

have happened. I think everyone is slightly confused. Scanning again,

what is the response? They are replacing the Jamaican blocks.

A fault rather than a false start. Whatever nervousness Patricia Hall

may be feeling hopefully it will not affect half performance. It is not

her fault -- not affect her performance. As an athlete, this is

not just restricting, but annoying, as you have prepared yourself

mentally. You team-mates are stressing themselves walking around.

Everyone gathered by the first exchange, nobody looking nice and

calm, slightly irritated. The official trying to explain what has

gone on. And of that yellow card was a technical problem, they should

have all got a green card. Maybe that was being explained to her, I

am not sure. The rest of her team here. This Jamaican squad will be

hoping that this all sorts will fight. Shana Cox just relaxing. The

officials continuing to discuss, that is the head starter there. And

he is allowing one of the other starters to get this race underway,

but he is watching things. And now it is a green card shown to produce

a hall, which is right, I think, -- to Patricia Hall, which is right, I

think, to expunge that yellow card, as it was not her fault. All of the

athletes came out a few minutes before. And you place the blocks in

the configurations you needed, and she is no having to do that. She may

have even used a tape measure previously. And that goes with the

rest of your kit bag, and you can then be slightly unsure, just

putting herself into her blocks, making sure it is all good. Just had

a trial start and now watching back. CLAPPING.

The crowd trying to do their best to put some atmosphere behind the

athletes here. Alleviate the stress that is undoubtedly showing. Eilidh

Child staying very confident throughout. The Polish team on the

inside. Nigeria two, Jamaica three, Russia four, US five, the David --

the defending champions, and GB, on the Ides out. Eilidh Child, Shana

Cox, Christine Ohuruogu, and Margaret Adeoye. The crowd still

clapping, but they will have to go quiet. CHEERING.

This is just not fair on the athletes, and about time! We could

see... Ivan Ukhov attempting to jump. This is what happened.

He needs this, 2.38, what he will be shunted down to at least place. --

or he will. I have never seen someone getting another attempt at

the 2.38 before, and he has done it. He moves into, I am not sure if it

is second or third place, and that was close! Just a little touch,

though, that was good all stop he is delighted and he can regroup and go

back to checking out... No quiet again after the clearance from Ivan

Ukhov. And finally, we get this race underway. Natasha Hastings doubting

quickly for the United gets. Eilidh Child will have to work hard all

stop they will break coming of this that backdrop of this then. --

Eilidh Child will have to work hard. The rogue coming off that last bend.

Russia is starting to get back into this. It is Hastings reading. Eilidh

Child is really putting up a spelling fight here. -- sterling

fight. Natasha Hastings in the lead, the two pulling away from everybody.

Eilidh Child asses to Shana Cox. -- passes. Shana Cox in second place,

going well. Can the American keep this lead, taking yards off of Shana

Cox. Jamaica giving chase. As the American overcooked this? Joanna

Atkins even starting to look as though she is leaning back, Shana

Cox easing into that lead, and Jamaica five metres behind Britain.

Atkins doing well to hang onto this. You are right about Shana Cox,

but disappearing quickly. Can she get in front? She can't! Margaret

Adeoye -- she can. Margaret Adeoye getting ahead of the Jamaicans. The

Americans hiding on there. Adam Morgan, it is the United States up

against Great Britain -- at the moment, it is the United States up

against Great Britain. As Margaret Adeoye overcooked that? Francena

McCorory is pulling away. The Jamaicans starting to make inroads

into the leader. The Americans are well clear, but this is an

inexperienced young lady who has two well clear, but this is an

give to Christine Ohuruogu, looking like she is racing for silver,

against the very talented MacPherson for Jamaica, America well clear.

From a great Britain perspective, Christine Ohuruogu is watching as

the Jamaican moves away from her, the silver medal going, Dan

Christine judge however this, she has to be careful about the Russian

behind her, who is catching Christine quickly. America will

bring home the gold-medal, but the Russians are attacking Great Britain

for the front, Jamaica will get silver behind America, the Americans

get the gold, Jamaican silver, Great Britain the bronze. It was always

going to be tough. 3.28 last time we won, that was a much quicker race,

great performance from the Americans, Atkins ran well, as did

Tate. Just the moment, I thought we were under threat for the bronze

medal, but thankfully, Christine gets enough back. A brilliantly

experienced grant from Eilidh Child. She always needs to be up there in

contention. It means you are involved in the race, and once you

are involved, you start to believe. The Americans, from the second leg

by Atkins, she gained so much on the rest of them, the whole nations, and

a good, positive run. And when you are heading over to this lady, the

world champion, then you can really feel that you are confident and your

team is in safe hands. Once America had that the leg, with the world

champion taking out the distance, we knew everyone else from there on in

was trying to catch them. But a great performance from Christine

Ohuruogu, keeping a cold head, and even hearing the crowd screaming her

name, managing to hang on for that bronze medal, so a good solid

performance. And you have sometimes for as? 52.2 four Eilidh Child,

51.74 Shana Cox, 51.4 four Margaret Adeoye. 52.4 with Christine

Ohuruogu. I can tell you, Jamaica have taken the Commonwealth records

from Australia with their time in second place, not by much, but just

by a couple of tenths. Confirmation then... And a great run from the

United States. And it is Mutaz Essa Barshim. 2.38.

Even if he feels this, and Ivan Ukhov feels this, Barshim is still

in the lead. But what a climax it would be if he gets this. Oh, My

goodness! Know we have to wait for Ivan Ukhov to see whether he can get

this 2.40. Absolutely fabulous stuff. Barshim goes way above the

bar and is to drag it off with his backside. -- seems to. Ivan Ukhov

needs this to win. Barshim, he's got it in the bag if

Ivan Ukhov fails. Now, Ivan Ukhov. What a record that is. Because of

that second failure at 2.38, he needs this for victory. Here we go.

It is all or nothing. It's gone to Barshim. It's not very often that

Ivan Ukhov trails in second place in a competition, especially one as

important as the world championships. But he has on this

occasion. Barshim has done it. And that is Qatar being

congratulated. Got to be careful. He's almost taller than everyone.

The American finishing outside the medals. But the is the champion.

Ivan Ukhov Will congratulate Barshim. He gets the silver medal

and Barshim gets the gold. That 4x4 hundred metres, the British

team were just outside their British record and the American team were

the second fastest of all time. Before we reflect on that race, just

a word from the British athletics team that they have lodged a protest

for Andrew Osagie's race. You may remember about the Polish runner

stepping on the field. If he did, if it was a voluntary step on the

infield, that is worthy of disqualification. Have you ever seen

anything like that relay race at the start? It is very distracting and

unsettling. Either very sorry for Patricia Hall. You have to set it up

correctly, she is reliant on them to push off. But I think it was made

clear that she would not be removed. But what a race and was in

the end. Super fast times. A Commonwealth record. It was a great

race, exactly what we expected. You can see by the attitude of the

Americans and the approach to the race, they did realise they would be

in a race. We were wondering what Spencer was doing, but that is what

nailed it for Jamaica. I am sure we realised Christine Ohuruogu would

give it a go. Yes, a couple of the girls were quicker still in the

heats, but she knew what needed to be done. Yes, she was brilliant, but

Adeoye, it she ran so well. Sheena Cox as well -- Shana Cox. And when

Christine came round that last bend, she had another gear to go to. You

can always trust Christine to be aware of the dangers and that is

exactly what we want, to be aware. We are hearing good news from a

British perspective. Andrew Osagie has been confirmed as fourth -- was

confirmed as fourth in the race, but there has been an appeal and he has

been confirmed as the bronze-medallist. However, there

might be yet another appeal. They were talking earlier about what

tactics he might adopt. He just needed to be in contention to strike

and not put that pressure on himself. We do know that he can

finish strongly, and he did. Delighted that he has hopefully got

that bronze medal. That story may still unfold. But from one

bronze-medallist to another four. Big smiles all around.

Congratulations. Let me start with Eilidh Child. What a start out

there. That was a serious delay. How much was that affecting you? I tried

the kind of switch off from it, to forget about what had happened. I

wasn't sure what was going on. I switched off and went out to do what

I had to do. I knew the Americans would come up quickly. That composed

start of 52.2 lead onto an oppressive second leg. But really

coach told us to do the same thing as we did yesterday, step it up a

notch. Obviously got the balls start at the beginning please about with

you a bit. But Christine told us to stay relaxed, stay calm, do not

waste energy. And the moment of the moment. Margaret, you were up

against the gold and silver individual medallists, but you held

your own. Oh my God! I think I just ran for it. I tried to get as close

to her as possible because I knew she had a second or two on me. I

thought if I could get close to her, and just hang on, and passenger

Christine. I did what I could to hold on. I know that you came here

to try to retain that title. But it took the second quickest 4x4 to do

that. You wanted a medal, didn't you? Yes, we do want a medal. We

always come here fighting. Everyone individually has their own job to

do. Think every individual medal, I pick that's what we need to do in a

relay. It is a really, really good time. Similar to what we ran last

year. It is good for everybody to take home. That is our fifth medal.

Thank you. Well, the 60-metre final. This is a

good field. Campbell-Brown of Jamaica, the Ivory

Coast athlete in lane three. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the

two-time Olympic champion. She is and five. Siler of Germany is in

sixth. -- Sailer. It might take a sub seven second run here.

Fraser-Pryce gets a good start. She has the advantage. We said it would

have to go under seven seconds because they are so fast. Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce, 6.98. That puts her seventh on the all-time world 's

list. Asha Philip was fourth. Three very good athletes ahead of her. We

always said that if Shelley -- Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce comes, she

comes here for victory. What she does is show a real experience and

class. When it comes to the final, she puts everybody else under

pressure. She is the world champion at 200 metres, Olympic champion, she

has run under 10.800 metres. -- run under 10.8 in the 100m.

This is his last jump. He is in third place at the moment. He needs

17.24. 17.21 rather. Ernesto Reve is in gold medal

position. The Cuban athlete trying to emulate his arch rival, the Cuban

who is in first place. Lyukman Adams is in second place. My goodness, he

is in second place. That means we have Cuban play-mac in first and

second. -- Cuban s. Marian Oprea has just seen his bronze medal

disappear. A last jump for this man.

It could be good. He's not sure. Neither am I. Absolutely straight.

He just took a little glance to the left-hand side. Absolutely spot on

the board. Just there. That looks very close. 17.21. It's not far

enough, he is in fourth place. Exactly the same distance as Lyukman

Adams, but he has their second the best effort.

That is good. That is good! Yes!

Did he get a foul? I'm not sure. Yes, he did. Sorry, it wasn't a

foul, it was a good jump, and that looks excellent. Can Lyukman Adams

go beyond, and 17.37, he is in the lead! And Ernesto Reve has one job

to go. -- one jump. Lyukman Adams looks as though he has

won the Triple Jump. He has the bronze medal. And Pedro

Pablo Pichardo has the bronze. It looks as though it has all changed

in this last round. Marian Oprea was in fourth place. Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce, of course, has the gold once more.

Indeed, and what of four from on. Under seven seconds. -- what a

fabulous run. Tianna Bartoletta ran very well, as season's best, for the

blaze for Asha Philip, she spoke afterwards. -- fourth place for Asha

Philip. They do say forces the worst place

to, can you tell me? -- bid to save for -- they do say fourth is worst.

I am gutted! But you cannot run those times in the championship. But

I made the final, happy with that, I can to plus I'd of that. -- take a

plus out of that. Looking at positives, and by quality girls, and

you are in the mix with them. I knew I was a contender, but it did not

happen on the day. I came fourth in the world, so I will not complain

about that. And there is the smile! Best of luck in the outdoor season,

this is a fantastic start. Disappointed, and she knows she

could have got a medal and will in the future, I am sure. Someone who

did get one is Tiffany Porter, congratulations on another medal.

How did this one feel for you, doing it for us time and time again, you

had to rebound from an injury to uni and did what you needed to do.

Injury to your knee. Honour to bring a medal back for Team GB, but

overall a good grades. Congratulations to the others. Just

about performing on the day and I was pleased I could put it together

when it meant the most. People would like to see the medal, just hold it

up, that ever burgeoning collection, you must go from event

to event with sky-high belief in your abilities and your mental

strength? Absolutely, you have to believe in your abilities,

reparation, training, really have confidence you can perform where it

matters, go into each championship with that mindset. What kind of

things go through your mind on the champion's podium? We are seeing

your performance on the screen now, so much going in before that. Just

being on that put the is a huge honour. You can then take a step

back and appreciate what you have accomplished. Hopefully, I will be

on top of that podium one day. And we will cheer you on, as we wear for

Asha Philip in the 60s, but the knees, you must be pleased to hear

that she was analysing so quickly and that can be argued step going

forward. -- that can be one good step. Yes, reflecting on her for
