:01:29. > :01:33.USA. -- gold. Welcome to highlight of the final day's action of the

:01:34. > :01:37.world indoor athletics Championships, in Portland, Oregon.

:01:38. > :01:44.Some fabulous performances so far, including three medals for the

:01:45. > :01:47.British team, and more to look forward to today. Laurence Clark's

:01:48. > :01:51.career has been blighted by injuries, but canny reach another

:01:52. > :01:56.final on the world stage, in the 60 metres hurdles? British outdoor

:01:57. > :02:04.world record-holder Isobel Pooley has had to wait until the final date

:02:05. > :02:09.in the high jump. The world record-holder Genzebe Dibaba is on

:02:10. > :02:14.track, she will not want to surrender her title. Exciting

:02:15. > :02:18.schedule ahead, joining me in the commentary box for the action are

:02:19. > :02:24.Andrew Cotter, Paula Radcliffe, Steve Backley, and Jessica

:02:25. > :02:27.Ennis-Hill's coach. Here we go for the first of the to

:02:28. > :02:54.macro semifinals. Men's 60 metres hurdles, the first

:02:55. > :03:08.semifinal. Jarret Eaton of the United States inside Martin

:03:09. > :03:17.Odegaard. Martin Odegaard easing himself over the line. Just outside

:03:18. > :03:20.a season's best for the American. There was a little bit of air

:03:21. > :03:37.between those to macro and the others. One for Tony to get injury.

:03:38. > :03:42.Looks like the box is a further apart. Both of these tall guys

:03:43. > :03:45.taking seven steps to the hurdle. Normally for a lot of guys, it will

:03:46. > :03:51.be eight steps. Why they are cramping up. So they can fit the

:03:52. > :04:15.seven strides into the 13 metre run in. Martin

:04:16. > :04:24.-- Omar McLeod, Dimitri Bascou amongst the favourites to take the

:04:25. > :04:28.medals. The second semifinal of the men's 60 metres hurdles. Their

:04:29. > :04:35.weight cleanly. Laurence Clark out strongly. Dimitri Bascou and Omar

:04:36. > :04:39.McLeod. McLeod pulling clear. Laurence Clark with the dip, might

:04:40. > :04:46.not be enough. Another strong run from Omar McLeod. Little stumble out

:04:47. > :04:51.of the blocks. Once he got into his running, finishing strongly. What

:04:52. > :04:55.you are trying to do coming out of the blocks trying to get your knees

:04:56. > :04:59.together, when you first foot goes down, you want the second knee to

:05:00. > :05:04.come through, popping off the blocks. To get a lot of speed. If

:05:05. > :05:10.you delay that, putting your foot down, don't stabilise, causing the

:05:11. > :05:15.stumble. Omar McLeod, no doubt he is very, Dimitri Bascou he knows it,

:05:16. > :05:37.Laurence Clark not going through to the final. Laurence Clarkin sixth

:05:38. > :05:41.place. -- Laurence Clarke. Dimitri Bascou not looking good in the

:05:42. > :05:49.semifinal. Not the sort of performance you want to go away, and

:05:50. > :05:55.to contemplate. Disappointed, the time I made the final was my

:05:56. > :05:59.season's best. Good start, did not hold it together for the last

:06:00. > :06:03.hurdle. Indoor season, the Olympics is what matters. Need to keep

:06:04. > :06:13.working. Isobel Pooley, Great Britain. She gave it a wobble. Just

:06:14. > :06:20.a little bit. Probably cold, standing about for 20 odd minutes.

:06:21. > :06:24.Just leading with the inside arm. Taking across the bar. For me,

:06:25. > :06:33.should go upwards, following the hand. Just pushing it towards the

:06:34. > :06:41.bar, that takes heaven. Big moment on home soil, the American Henderson

:06:42. > :06:52.is leading. Is that good enough? Difficult to see at that speed. It

:06:53. > :07:00.is beyond eight metres. Dendy not liking it. Retains his height well.

:07:01. > :07:10.Not a fan of the dip and drive. A good jump. He takes the lead, a jump

:07:11. > :07:34.of 8.2 six. America in one and to . No Mo Farah, loving talked about

:07:35. > :07:47.him, O'Farrell does giving this final. -- does go. Final of the

:07:48. > :07:54.men's 3000 metres. This will get cluttered. We wonder what the pace

:07:55. > :08:00.will be. There are some of these with a good kick finish. We saw a

:08:01. > :08:05.scorching last 100 metres from unit could

:08:06. > :08:33.. Right now we have Ryan Hill at the front. He is running with his

:08:34. > :08:46.training partner, they work day in, day out down the road. There are a

:08:47. > :08:54.lot of guys sitting in their fee would not fancy the kicks against

:08:55. > :09:02.the likes of Kejelcha. If he goes on to long at this pace, some of the

:09:03. > :09:20.patients is -- some of their patients may slip. At the back Ndiku

:09:21. > :09:24.thirsty strike. Gotten a bit of trouble he moved round. Why he was

:09:25. > :09:33.staying out of the back after what happened in the heat. Now there is a

:09:34. > :09:50.bit of shoving, did not want to relinquish the lead, Ndiku. But a

:09:51. > :09:51.bit of a shove in the back. Ryan Hill, then Kejelcha, the tall

:09:52. > :10:13.figure. Iguider making his move. Lee Emanuel

:10:14. > :10:19.losing place with the group. Ndiku saying first place is mine, I want

:10:20. > :10:28.to lead from the front. Ndiku has not quite go past. Look Ryan Hill,

:10:29. > :10:36.keeping himself in a really good position all the way through the

:10:37. > :10:43.race, not easy, keeping up there, responding to the moves. The last

:10:44. > :10:48.couple hundred metres were both 20 seconds. That was the lifting of the

:10:49. > :10:50.pace. There is Kejelcha, rather ungainly running style. He is behind

:10:51. > :11:15.Ndiku. Bachir slipping away. Now Kejelcha

:11:16. > :11:21.strikes, making his move. They are trying to make Iguider hurt, taking

:11:22. > :11:25.turns. They will be testing him, in a way we may not have seen and

:11:26. > :11:34.tested so far this year. These four separating. Ryan Hill trying to hang

:11:35. > :11:41.on with the home support. It is Kejelcha, and Iguider. Iguider

:11:42. > :11:46.strikes. Around the outside. Kejelcha out in front. Can he hang

:11:47. > :11:59.on, the 18-year-old? Iguider trying to get back. Little that the from

:12:00. > :12:07.Kejelcha. Still driving hard. Choge round the outside. Kejelcha for the

:12:08. > :12:16.gold, Ryan Hill gets the silver ahead of Choge. It is gold for

:12:17. > :12:22.Kejelcha. Silver for Ryan Hill, what a net 30 made to take that. Brave

:12:23. > :12:25.move from the youngster. We question his tactics, how he ran in the

:12:26. > :12:32.heats. Still have the drive at the finish in the final. Hard earned

:12:33. > :12:40.gold medal for the man from Ethiopia. Pretty boring race early

:12:41. > :12:46.on, not a boring finish at all. 2.2 to in the last 1000, a lot of that

:12:47. > :12:48.in the last 600 metres or so. Kejelcha hitting the front, then

:12:49. > :12:58.coming away. Look where Ryan Hill came from. Still making ground on

:12:59. > :13:02.the last term from -- last turn. He really ran well to snatch that

:13:03. > :13:07.silver. Put himself in a good position. Choge did all the running,

:13:08. > :13:14.did not have the pace to stay with Kejelcha in those closings stages.

:13:15. > :13:23.We know Kejelcha is very quick, he will be a real danger for Mo Farah

:13:24. > :13:26.in Rio. Ryan Hill taking it on the line, the silver from Choge.

:13:27. > :13:33.Confirmation of the result. The final of the men's 3000 metres. Gold

:13:34. > :13:41.from the eight -- for the 18-year-old from Ethiopia. Ryan Hill

:13:42. > :13:49.taking the silver ahead of Choge. Lee Emanuel down in sixth place.

:13:50. > :13:52.Cunningham, of the United States. Exciting, precocious youngster, in

:13:53. > :13:59.terms of her physical talent. That is how to do it. The one piece of

:14:00. > :14:02.the jigsaw which was under pressure, what she would do in major

:14:03. > :14:08.championships? She has answered that, what she has done so far. No

:14:09. > :14:19.failures. In first place. Dominating the women's high jump final. Vashti

:14:20. > :14:23.Cunningham. Fabrice LaPierre, of Australia, no stranger to major

:14:24. > :14:35.championships. Silver behind Greg Rutherford last summer. Round three,

:14:36. > :14:40.big effort for him. Fabrice LaPierre, 7.78 in the second round,

:14:41. > :14:46.we are in round three. Very tidy. Good balance. Straight down the

:14:47. > :14:54.centre of the sandpit. Efficient use of force. Almost perfect on the

:14:55. > :14:58.board. Very tidy indeed. Fabrice LaPierre, a .2 five. New Australian

:14:59. > :15:26.indoor record, in second place. In doors, four laps of the track and

:15:27. > :15:30.if you are going to front run you have to be confident and get your

:15:31. > :15:34.pacing just right. Yes and you have to go like Wilson has, get to the

:15:35. > :15:43.front and be able to control the field. We wondered if it was too

:15:44. > :15:47.quick, we also saw Wilson in the first round go to the front and

:15:48. > :15:55.control the race and I think that is what she is more likely to do rather

:15:56. > :16:02.than go out at a suicidal pace. Solid but not too fast, nothing

:16:03. > :16:08.silly from Wilson, controlling it. Just jostling elbows, cannot decide

:16:09. > :16:13.what they want to do, decides to take it out, go quicker. Wilson has

:16:14. > :16:19.the ruling quashed the lead and then just moves out across the heels. She

:16:20. > :16:25.has some room. Finally has some space and moves on the shoulder of

:16:26. > :16:30.the Kenyan. She has moved right to the front and a big battle, did not

:16:31. > :16:34.want to let her get past but she had to allow her past and she is still

:16:35. > :16:45.moving away, she has put in a big surge on this lap. They have won and

:16:46. > :16:51.medal in this event in the past. But going for gold, Wilson looks as if

:16:52. > :16:59.she is spent. Has left it way too late coming from the back.

:17:00. > :17:08.Maintaining the pace. Wilson trying to lift herself, the crowd doing

:17:09. > :17:13.their best and closing in, still in front, Wilson starts to attack

:17:14. > :17:22.around the bend. Is there enough time? She's going to get there,

:17:23. > :17:33.Goldsboro Burundi. Then Wilson. -- gold for Burundi. Not superfast but

:17:34. > :17:38.I think for me she grabbed the race by the scruff of the neck and Wilson

:17:39. > :17:43.got caught in third and stayed too long behind, never got close enough

:17:44. > :17:44.to the front, tried to attack over the last 100 metres but there was

:17:45. > :18:08.too much to do. I think the damage was done in the

:18:09. > :18:14.third 200 metres. 29.22, the fastest lap of the race.

:18:15. > :18:28.Mark Rowland has now coached her, he will be delighted with her

:18:29. > :18:30.performance, tactically. Wilson will be disappointed with the silver

:18:31. > :18:44.medal, I am sure. The women's high jump, in sixth

:18:45. > :18:51.place, second attempt, that is better!

:18:52. > :19:06.She joins Cunningham at 1.9 six. That takes her second.

:19:07. > :19:15.36 years old, double the age of Cunningham. But still incredibly

:19:16. > :19:21.capable. She has jumped 1.98 this year, but she has eight foul at 1.96

:19:22. > :19:33.which we have seen coming and clear. Second attempt. That's better. Great

:19:34. > :19:42.jump. That keeps her hopes alive. The next height is 1.99. The

:19:43. > :19:46.Lithuanian has had to Maxwell years at 1.96, needs this to stay in the

:19:47. > :19:57.competition and perhaps get amongst the medals. Yes, the slightest of

:19:58. > :20:00.rattles but she goes clear. Isobel Pooley went out at the previous

:20:01. > :20:07.height so she will not feature any further.

:20:08. > :20:13.Next on the track the women's 3000 metres featuring this seemingly all

:20:14. > :20:29.conquering women. She looks strong! It is all about Dibaba! Dibaba gets

:20:30. > :20:46.the gold! That's a look at the line-up, number

:20:47. > :21:01.one does not start, the Polish athlete.

:21:02. > :21:10.Must have been interesting watching the rise while she was away starting

:21:11. > :21:13.a family but those two on the outside flanking Stephanie Twell

:21:14. > :21:38.will be the women to beat. Saina Out in front. This opening lap

:21:39. > :21:43.they are just jogging around. We will wait and see who's patients

:21:44. > :21:46.snaps first and who makes a move to the front, it might be Stephanie

:21:47. > :21:51.Twell because although she started her career as a world junior 1500

:21:52. > :21:55.metre champion she now knows she is probably a lot stronger at the

:21:56. > :22:02.longer distances and will want this to be a good, honest pace from the

:22:03. > :22:06.start. She moves into the front shadowed by Kudzelich who will also

:22:07. > :22:23.want the pace to keep ticking along. Making sure she is in a position to

:22:24. > :22:29.react to anything which goes on in the early stages of this race.

:22:30. > :22:32.Kudzelich looked like she wanted to raise the pace but was not keen to

:22:33. > :22:45.go to the front but eventually decided she had to.

:22:46. > :22:58.Waiting at the back, Genzebe Dibaba. It would have been interesting,

:22:59. > :23:03.Genzebe Dibaba just at the back just watching, biding her time as

:23:04. > :23:06.Kudzelich continues to take them around. Shannon robbery is theft at

:23:07. > :23:23.the moment -- Rowbury. Genzebe Dibaba just deciding to take

:23:24. > :23:28.control of the race, everybody suddenly picks up and is more alert

:23:29. > :23:34.and the pace has lifted. I don't know if Stephanie Twell caught sight

:23:35. > :23:38.of Genzebe Dibaba moving up, maybe she got a chance to look at the

:23:39. > :23:42.screen or maybe she decided enough was enough and needed to do

:23:43. > :23:46.something about picking up the pace but she has got herself into a good

:23:47. > :23:50.position. All the girls behind suddenly having to react, Stephanie

:23:51. > :23:56.Twell reacting the best at the moment. It stretches and it is the

:23:57. > :24:00.favourite to has opened up this race, Genzebe Dibaba has decided

:24:01. > :24:04.enough is enough. I was wondering if the championship record might go and

:24:05. > :24:11.because of the slow opening few laps it will not go, set way back in

:24:12. > :24:17.1989, Genzebe Dibaba could have had it if she wanted, but she could

:24:18. > :24:22.still threaten if she decides to turn it on but she has already blown

:24:23. > :24:36.away the field. Stephanie Twell in a good position. Genzebe Dibaba

:24:37. > :24:42.putting on a bit of an exhibition at the moment. The reason the field is

:24:43. > :24:55.strung out is that Genzebe Dibaba did inject a fast lap into the race.

:24:56. > :25:00.Increasing the pace that quickly will do damage, Stephanie Twell was

:25:01. > :25:01.in a good position but has reacted well to it and staying with it so

:25:02. > :25:27.far. Gap has not opened up any further,

:25:28. > :25:33.Stephanie Twell just ahead of Defar. The gap beginning to narrow a little

:25:34. > :25:36.bit, Defar hanging onto the back of Stephanie Twell. Genzebe Dibaba not

:25:37. > :25:46.moving any further away from the field at the moment. Just looking to

:25:47. > :25:54.see where she was placed. Rowbury still pretty well-placed. Rowbury

:25:55. > :25:57.took her time at moving through, she did not react quickly when Genzebe

:25:58. > :26:00.Dibaba went to the front, but now she has got herself into a good

:26:01. > :26:03.position so starting to think she was not feeling great out there but

:26:04. > :26:06.now she is looking as if she is raising more products over medal and

:26:07. > :26:13.not concerned with what Genzebe Dibaba does. Stephanie Twell just

:26:14. > :26:22.hanging on at the moment, beginning to lose some contact perhaps,

:26:23. > :26:32.Rowbury coming past her, Stephanie Twell has two dead in here. Genzebe

:26:33. > :26:41.Dibaba stretching out again. Defar with all her experience is battling

:26:42. > :26:46.for the silver medal at the moment. Genzebe Dibaba along weakly at the

:26:47. > :26:50.moment, another gold medal will surely be harassed, again lifting

:26:51. > :26:59.the knees and driving on, the gap opens again -- surely be hers.

:27:00. > :27:04.Stephanie Twell coming through with three laps to go beginning to lose a

:27:05. > :27:08.bit of touch with the group of four athletes who are battling for sober

:27:09. > :27:15.and bronze. Defar beginning to separate herself a little bit. This

:27:16. > :27:20.place is doing some damage and it will do that if you put in a 64

:27:21. > :27:26.second any 400 metres in the middle and then settle back to 67 it is

:27:27. > :27:31.like you're slowing down but 67 is still a very quick pace. That is why

:27:32. > :27:36.these women are struggling to make any inroads on Genzebe Dibaba, Defar

:27:37. > :27:43.is the only one truly capable and it now looks like a battle for the

:27:44. > :27:53.bronze medal. Is Rowbury getting some daylight? She is. But Genzebe

:27:54. > :27:57.Dibaba with about 300 metres to go, long, long way clear of Defar,

:27:58. > :28:03.striding towards another gold medal, the bell sounds and another majestic

:28:04. > :28:11.performance from Genzebe Dibaba. She is going to lap the back of the

:28:12. > :28:16.field. Genzebe Dibaba, Defar in the silver medal position and Rowbury

:28:17. > :28:25.actually beginning to close on her. Genzebe Dibaba all the way around.

:28:26. > :28:29.Striding toward another gold medal. What an athlete this women is. It

:28:30. > :28:40.will be gold here at the world indoors. It will be silver for Defar

:28:41. > :28:44.and Rowbury takes the bronze. In contrast to the men's 3000 it was

:28:45. > :28:53.not such a close finish. Stephanie Twell coming through in about six.

:28:54. > :28:58.Genzebe Dibaba, what a performance, it was just the injection of pace

:28:59. > :29:04.she had, she took it on and killed them with that 32nd 200 metres in

:29:05. > :29:10.the middle of the race. -- 30, seconds. Genzebe Dibaba was so far

:29:11. > :29:16.ahead of the rest of the girls she was able to do that, able to put in

:29:17. > :29:20.a 31 second 200 metres in the middle of the race and blow it apart and

:29:21. > :29:23.then just go onto cruise control, did not have to use the final gear

:29:24. > :29:31.at the end because she had so much of a cushion. Let's wrap this up, it

:29:32. > :29:46.was a demonstration from Genzebe Dibaba.

:29:47. > :29:54.The road to Rio's Olympics is a long one. Watch Mo Farah put in the extra

:29:55. > :30:02.miles of the Cardiff half marathon World Championship on BBC One.

:30:03. > :30:05.Should be another great weekend in store next week. As the British

:30:06. > :30:11.record-holder, Mo Farah may take a special interest in the next event

:30:12. > :30:21.on the track, the men's 1500 metres final. Chris O'Hare goes for Great

:30:22. > :30:28.Britain. The home crowd will be hoping Matt Centrowitz will give

:30:29. > :30:38.them something to cheer. Robbie Andrews always dangerous in a slower

:30:39. > :30:50.race. It is always likely to be that way indoors. The 1500 gets under

:30:51. > :30:55.way. Some pushing and Jocelyn, as you might expect. Three and a half

:30:56. > :31:03.laps of the track indoors. Willis goes in front. The man who won the

:31:04. > :31:13.silver medal last time, Wote on the inside. Matthew Centrowitz up there.

:31:14. > :31:19.Chris O'Hare, for the time being happy to watch what is going on

:31:20. > :31:24.through the first 200. They go through that in 29 seconds. All of a

:31:25. > :31:29.sudden, it all slows down. The man who anticipate that was Nick Willis,

:31:30. > :31:34.running a very smooth and controlled first 200 metres. Letting everyone

:31:35. > :31:39.jostle for position. Now slotting into the place where he likes to

:31:40. > :31:45.sit. He can watch what is going on, and is poised to react. The question

:31:46. > :31:53.is, is he able to react as quickly and swiftly as he has in previous

:31:54. > :32:02.years? 32 seconds for the next 200 metres. Nick Willis is well aware of

:32:03. > :32:06.the ability of Centrowitz. The key is don't give people too much of a

:32:07. > :32:13.head start. When it kicks off, and it will do, you want to be close.

:32:14. > :32:17.Over the first 400 metres Willis uses his experience, saying it is

:32:18. > :32:24.not going to stay slow for too much longer, so is Chris O'Hare, good

:32:25. > :32:30.tactical brain, put himself in a good position. Even slower at 33.

:32:31. > :32:34.People wondering why Chris O'Hare was running so why, in lane three.

:32:35. > :32:39.1500 metres indoors, that extra distance running wife versus the

:32:40. > :32:48.ability to react and get to the front if someone inject some real

:32:49. > :32:52.change of pace is is worth it. The Americans have never won this title,

:32:53. > :32:58.some bronze medals, all the way back to Geoff Atkinson, for the first

:32:59. > :33:05.time the Americans heading for Centrowitz will stop Chris O'Hare.

:33:06. > :33:12.Centrowitz realising he needs to get in a better position, blocking Chris

:33:13. > :33:19.O'Hare. Wote on the inside, silver medallist last time. Chris O'Hare

:33:20. > :33:24.almost takes a tumble. Did well there, hurdling the back leg to get

:33:25. > :33:50.into a better position. Nick Willis comes round everybody.

:33:51. > :34:04.Souleiman going backwards. Chris O'Hare in sixth. It is Wolde. It is

:34:05. > :34:08.New Zealand from the USA. The crowd are on their feet in this Oregon

:34:09. > :34:14.Convention Centre. Hoping Centrowitz can deliver a gold medal. Willis

:34:15. > :34:19.striking for home. A couple of Ethiopians chasing. What can

:34:20. > :34:30.Centrowitz do on the last bend? Nick Willis in front. Here comes Matthew

:34:31. > :34:43.Centrowitz. He gets the gold. Nick Willis in bronze.

:34:44. > :34:52.Holusa in second place. Many people would not have expected the African

:34:53. > :34:57.contingent left trailing by the two sprinters, Nick Willis, the age of

:34:58. > :35:05.32. You have to hand it to him, gave it a go. Maybe in the effort to get

:35:06. > :35:14.the gold, handing it to Centrowitz, smart enough to follow him. Hometown

:35:15. > :35:19.victory, just what the crowd wanted. A smile of relief from Matthew

:35:20. > :35:26.Centrowitz. Very nearly lost it, the way Nick Willis threw down the

:35:27. > :35:31.gauntlet from the front. Holusa comes from back in sixth position.

:35:32. > :35:40.So much to make up with 100 metres to go. Nick Willis was starting to

:35:41. > :35:44.tire, you sense. Centrowitz also signing up, have to be aware of

:35:45. > :35:50.Holusa, the crowd must have let him know. Holusa should've been asking

:35:51. > :35:56.the questions, not in position when Nick Willis took off. Matthew

:35:57. > :36:04.Centrowitz a bit slow, but not as far as Holusa. Robbie Andrews also

:36:05. > :36:08.close fast over the final lap. Matthew Centrowitz will not be

:36:09. > :36:12.bothered by the winning time. The important thing is getting the gold

:36:13. > :36:19.medal for the USA. Holusa finish so quickly. He will be delighted with

:36:20. > :36:27.the silver. Well done to Nick Willis, tried to win it. Chris

:36:28. > :36:36.O'Hare down in eighth place. It was a pretty good race, managed to keep

:36:37. > :36:44.myself out of trouble. Did not take too much as I running. 300 to go, I

:36:45. > :36:53.went for the last year, it was not there. Dan Bramble having a good

:36:54. > :36:56.competition for Great Britain. Season's best, the first time he has

:36:57. > :37:04.gone over eight metres indoors. He has two attack it now. Hitting the

:37:05. > :37:10.ball well. That is a good jump. He needs one in excess of 8.19 to get

:37:11. > :37:23.in the top four, to get a place in the last round. 8.14. His

:37:24. > :37:28.competition is over. We come back to the high jump, getting towards the

:37:29. > :37:35.business end. Bit of an anti-climax there. Thought we were going to

:37:36. > :37:40.something special, that is the end of her evening's jumping. The

:37:41. > :37:49.defending IAAF champion, she has to go clear. The time failure for.

:37:50. > :37:56.Third place. She had top place on the rostrum with the Russian

:37:57. > :38:06.athlete, of course no Russians competing here because of the ban.

:38:07. > :38:11.Third time effort, and a failure. That signals the end of the

:38:12. > :38:18.competition for her. The end of the medal situation for Cunningham, the

:38:19. > :38:24.young American. She has taken goal. I wonder if she has worked this out.

:38:25. > :38:29.She's so composed, for 18 years of age. Rarely do we see athletes

:38:30. > :38:41.coming into the sport but are so measured. Very impressive indeed.

:38:42. > :38:49.Not to be on this occasion, maybe some new talent Vashti Cunningham.

:38:50. > :38:58.She had a world leading mark last week. No small matter of the world

:38:59. > :39:06.junior record, such as her talent. Tall, rangy, fast and dynamic. She

:39:07. > :39:09.was a bit front on with that one. She's sprinting faster, when she

:39:10. > :39:16.does the shoulders are ahead, taking her into the bar. Goal for vastly

:39:17. > :39:31.Cunningham. -- gold for Vashti Cunningham. The gold rush for the

:39:32. > :39:36.United States continuing. You can see his best, 8.19. He is the first

:39:37. > :39:47.to jump of the four athletes that will get a jump in the last, sixth

:39:48. > :39:57.and final round. Chasing a .2 six. -- chasing 8.20 six.

:39:58. > :40:03.This may challenge the lead, he is saying second. Producing something

:40:04. > :40:12.very special in the last round. Drifting off to the left. Losing

:40:13. > :40:18.distance from that, I would suggest. How

:40:19. > :40:24.-- lifetime best takes him up to third place. There are your

:40:25. > :40:41.medallists, all over. Dendy dominated. There are your

:40:42. > :40:45.confirmations of the medallists. Another American gold medal. Good

:40:46. > :40:58.performance from Dan Bramble, of Great Britain. The women are ready

:40:59. > :41:13.for the final of the four by 400 metres relay. America are the strong

:41:14. > :41:27.favourites, of course things can happen in replays. There is the

:41:28. > :41:28.Jamaican quartet. Perhaps the strongest contenders for silver,

:41:29. > :41:59.behind the United States. The Nigerian quartet. They have

:42:00. > :42:06.Benjamin and George, in their four, part of the Commonwealth Games

:42:07. > :42:17.silver relay. No British quartet, bit of a shame. Would have certainly

:42:18. > :42:23.challenge from medal. The way they go, the United States with a great

:42:24. > :42:24.success in this one. Natasha Hastings taking it into the lead

:42:25. > :42:47.immediately. Our Pastor tries to reply. Patricia Hall

:42:48. > :42:53.tucking into fourth place. Natasha Hastings can a look at things. Down

:42:54. > :42:59.go Jamaica. Patricia Hall stumble in. Almost handing this to America.

:43:00. > :43:04.Definitely the strongest team by a long way. The lead is already

:43:05. > :43:13.opening up. Patricia Hall crashing to the ground. Hastings handing over

:43:14. > :43:21.to Hayes. She is away and clear. This will be a one country race.

:43:22. > :43:27.Gold medal, look at the lead that pays has. Close for silver and

:43:28. > :43:35.bronze. The Polish athlete took down the Jamaican. Patricia Hall. We may

:43:36. > :43:39.get the chance to look at it again. Look at the battle behind the

:43:40. > :43:45.American. A long way back. A victory march already for the Americans stop

:43:46. > :43:52.it is how far they choose to win by. A fierce battle developing behind,

:43:53. > :43:59.Nigeria, Poland and America. Very impressive performance from America.

:44:00. > :44:08.Hayes handing over. Look at the leave they have. A bit of a shame

:44:09. > :44:13.that Britain when not in this. There was a medal for Great Britain. Seren

:44:14. > :44:17.Bundy-Davies and others concentrating on preparations for

:44:18. > :44:24.Rio. The teams get invited to come as a team, America office only going

:44:25. > :44:29.to be there. They are running quick, a lot of names in this America team

:44:30. > :44:33.that are not familiar. The men broke the world record of the last indoor

:44:34. > :44:39.Championships. Not going to be superfast here. Good running, they

:44:40. > :44:46.can run very relaxed. Poland is moving into second place. There is a

:44:47. > :44:50.scrap for silver and bronze between Poland and Nigeria. This is a

:44:51. > :44:54.procession for America. Spencer taking the bat on. I wonder how

:44:55. > :45:00.close they can get to the championship record. In terms of

:45:01. > :45:07.times they may be behind Russia are set in Budapest in 2008. It is a

:45:08. > :45:17.stroll for Ashley Spencer. Fierce battle behind.

:45:18. > :45:23.We shall see who shall take the silver and bronze medals but for the

:45:24. > :45:28.United States the gap continues to grow and the crowd continued to

:45:29. > :45:38.cheer for in other hole gold medal to come. It's scoring to be gold for

:45:39. > :45:42.the Quartet. Ashley Spencer bringing home the United States, outside the

:45:43. > :45:48.championship record but a long way clear and the celebrations begin,

:45:49. > :45:59.Paul and take the silver ahead of Romania for the bronze. -- Poland

:46:00. > :46:01.take the silver. Gold, as expected, Jamaica would have challenged,

:46:02. > :46:07.probably would have taken silver if they could stay on their feet but

:46:08. > :46:19.unfortunately did not. Another gold for the whole nation. That time is

:46:20. > :46:23.very respectable, Jamaica would not have beaten that, did not have

:46:24. > :46:30.enough ability in the rest of the team. Moving out and just caught by

:46:31. > :46:35.the Polish athlete, just catching her seals and she crashes to the

:46:36. > :46:39.ground, not much she can do about that. Left a very relaxed

:46:40. > :46:44.performance from the American team, this young lady, Ashley Spencer, is

:46:45. > :46:48.a very good talent for me, not sure if she is suited for indoor, takes

:46:49. > :47:06.the bend a little wide but I look forward to seeing more of her.

:47:07. > :47:29.Onto the lasts individual track event, the 60-metre hurdles.

:47:30. > :47:34.The world student games champion from a couple of years ago, had a

:47:35. > :47:39.good Championships, performed well to get into the final. This is the

:47:40. > :47:51.American champion, equalled his season 's best with 7.52 in the

:47:52. > :47:57.semifinal. The tall figure of Martinot-Lagarde, silver-medallist

:47:58. > :48:08.in these championship is two years ago, the European indoor champion.

:48:09. > :48:11.Omar McLeod ran under 13 seconds for the first time in the full event

:48:12. > :48:39.outdoors, the 110 metres. The Commonwealth bronze-medallist

:48:40. > :48:48.outdoors, Brathwaite. Martinot-Lagarde, on his day...

:48:49. > :48:53.Capable of beating anybody. But the man coming into these championships

:48:54. > :49:03.he thought would be his main contender Bascou. In between the

:49:04. > :49:23.Frenchman, Omar McLeod of Jamaica. The middle lanes.

:49:24. > :49:30.Eaton gets the best start but in the middle McLeod is going well for

:49:31. > :49:35.Jamaica, McLeod is going to get the gold! Martinot-Lagarde might have

:49:36. > :49:43.nicked the silver from his team-mates but it is Jamaica's first

:49:44. > :49:47.gold medal of these championships. Right at the time they needed it

:49:48. > :49:55.most, the others left trailing behind him. The Jamaican got out

:49:56. > :50:00.well, Eaton got a very good start but was not able to maintain it.

:50:01. > :50:06.Right in the middle, the French men either side of them, Omar McLeod

:50:07. > :50:12.focused and ran as a superb race. Equals the world lead. We said it

:50:13. > :50:19.would have to be well under 7.52 win and that is what he produced, what a

:50:20. > :50:25.performance. You have seen an athlete who managed to keep his

:50:26. > :50:31.rhythm together, make his three strides fit between the hurdles and

:50:32. > :50:34.maintain his foot speed. The quality finally came through, did not see

:50:35. > :50:40.much of it in the semifinal but all four men, even with a good start,

:50:41. > :50:45.Martinot-Lagarde had work to do, almost got there, but that is four

:50:46. > :50:49.very good performances. Omar is up bright and early and if you look at

:50:50. > :50:53.his foot speed, I appreciate you can see that on the slow motion but

:50:54. > :50:57.between the hurdles very quick feet, staying away from the hurdle which

:50:58. > :51:15.means he travels over much better. Great performance.

:51:16. > :51:21.It is surreal right now, never in a million years did I think I would be

:51:22. > :51:27.the champion at the age of 21 but it all comes with hard work, giving God

:51:28. > :51:33.thanks, act setting here I am and going into the event and going out

:51:34. > :51:40.there and having fun each time. The final event of the World

:51:41. > :51:43.Championships. That is how they line up, the United States will be so

:51:44. > :51:51.keen to finish with a gold medal in this final event of the

:51:52. > :51:56.Championships. Sad to see no British quartet again. Like the women, just

:51:57. > :52:04.a case of not enough athletes targeting the world indoors.

:52:05. > :52:19.Focusing their efforts elsewhere. Trinidad and Tobago in Lane 1.

:52:20. > :52:35.Our harsh inside the arena for the final event. -- a hush.

:52:36. > :52:42.Cleanly away, it is the knighted States who will take off the

:52:43. > :52:46.favourites on the opening leg, Abe bronze-medallist in the world

:52:47. > :52:54.indoors two years ago but it's barely even at the moment. The

:52:55. > :53:01.Bahamas coming through. He leads at the moment, just ahead of the United

:53:02. > :53:04.States. But the tall Belgian trying to get into position but he is

:53:05. > :53:11.shrugged out the way by the United States. The Bahamas still leading,

:53:12. > :53:15.the American will want to give his second man the lead going into the

:53:16. > :53:20.second leg. It is close at the minute. The United States pushing

:53:21. > :53:27.on, and Jamaica coming through, Belgium in fourth. Trinidad just

:53:28. > :53:37.trying to hold on. A lot of ground to make up, lost a few yards as did

:53:38. > :53:49.the Belgians. The USA leading, Smith with the bat and in his hand being

:53:50. > :53:53.chased down by Russell. Gordon coming around the outside, it's all

:53:54. > :53:57.beginning to tighten up, even Jamaica are in with an opportunity.

:53:58. > :54:01.Calvin Smith beginning to tie up a little bit at the front so they will

:54:02. > :54:10.bunch up, let's see what happens at the handoff. What a close race,

:54:11. > :54:19.Jamaica just beginning to lose touch, they have dropped the Batten!

:54:20. > :54:25.Belgium have dropped the baton! The United States and the Bahamas,

:54:26. > :54:32.Trinidad and Tobago trying to keep pace. United States moving a bit

:54:33. > :54:42.further clear, what a disappointment for Belgium and for the race. The

:54:43. > :54:45.Americans opening up a bit of a lead on the Bahamas. Trying to remain in

:54:46. > :54:53.touch to give Chris Brown something to chase down on the final leg. But

:54:54. > :54:59.the Americans will goal with a handsome lead. I cannot see them

:55:00. > :55:07.getting beaten now, the Bahamas will now have to try to hold off Trinidad

:55:08. > :55:15.and Tobago. The only thing now is how quickly can America go? Coming

:55:16. > :55:26.home and not just for the gold medal but a quick time as well. Has a huge

:55:27. > :55:35.lead. The Caribbean Battle for silver and bronze. It's a handsome

:55:36. > :55:43.victory for the United States. Another gold medal for the United

:55:44. > :55:52.States in Oregon. The United States once again going to the gold medal.

:55:53. > :55:56.The Bahamas silver. But the United States a long wait clear and asking

:55:57. > :56:09.for more celebrations from the crowd as well he might.

:56:10. > :56:18.The United States with another gold medal to celebrate and a quick time.

:56:19. > :56:26.It is when they cut over, just catches the arm. He steps inside the

:56:27. > :56:32.track to retrieve the baton which I don't think you're allowed to do, so

:56:33. > :56:38.might be disqualified anyway. But the last leg, 44.99 which is a

:56:39. > :56:43.cracking split. But it's much easier to run when you are relaxed, don't

:56:44. > :56:48.have to worry, the whole crowd cheering for you, you know you have

:56:49. > :56:56.the gold medal. And a fresh athlete who was disqualified in the main

:56:57. > :57:03.event for running on his line. Could have got the world record.

:57:04. > :57:27.The medal table looks very good for the United States.

:57:28. > :57:42.No gold medals for Great Britain, Silver medal for Robbie Grabaz. A

:57:43. > :57:46.special programme, I have been granted special access to follow

:57:47. > :57:51.Sebastian Coe at the headquarters in Monaco, I ask him about the

:57:52. > :57:57.controversy and we get his views on the future.

:57:58. > :58:06.Mo Farah will be headlining the British team. That is it for our

:58:07. > :58:10.coverage from the world indoor athletics, three medals for Great

:58:11. > :58:14.Britain, double play at the lower end of expectations but the nation

:58:15. > :58:24.certainly excelled in front of their home crowd. The exciting year of

:58:25. > :58:29.athletics on the BBC continues, goodbye.

:58:30. > :58:55.A true festival of running! Breaks world record! So many excited

:58:56. > :59:04.runners setting off. It's going to be close isn't it?! That is good! He

:59:05. > :59:11.has just done what he does best. What does it have in store for us

:59:12. > :59:14.this year? That is a huge jump! It's a perfect day!
