Hello, yes. He gets there. Robbie Grabarz, that is brilliant. Wins the | :00:53. | :01:10. | |
gold medal. On top of the world again. Wins the title. Goal for the | :01:11. | :01:28. | |
USA. -- gold. Welcome to highlight of the final day's action of the | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
world indoor athletics Championships, in Portland, Oregon. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Some fabulous performances so far, including three medals for the | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
British team, and more to look forward to today. Laurence Clark's | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
career has been blighted by injuries, but canny reach another | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
final on the world stage, in the 60 metres hurdles? British outdoor | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
world record-holder Isobel Pooley has had to wait until the final date | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
in the high jump. The world record-holder Genzebe Dibaba is on | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
track, she will not want to surrender her title. Exciting | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
schedule ahead, joining me in the commentary box for the action are | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Andrew Cotter, Paula Radcliffe, Steve Backley, and Jessica | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Ennis-Hill's coach. Here we go for the first of the to | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
macro semifinals. Men's 60 metres hurdles, the first | :02:28. | :02:54. | |
semifinal. Jarret Eaton of the United States inside Martin | :02:55. | :03:08. | |
Odegaard. Martin Odegaard easing himself over the line. Just outside | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
a season's best for the American. There was a little bit of air | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
between those to macro and the others. One for Tony to get injury. | :03:21. | :03:37. | |
Looks like the box is a further apart. Both of these tall guys | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
taking seven steps to the hurdle. Normally for a lot of guys, it will | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
be eight steps. Why they are cramping up. So they can fit the | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
seven strides into the 13 metre run in. Martin | :03:52. | :04:15. | |
-- Omar McLeod, Dimitri Bascou amongst the favourites to take the | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
medals. The second semifinal of the men's 60 metres hurdles. Their | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
weight cleanly. Laurence Clark out strongly. Dimitri Bascou and Omar | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
McLeod. McLeod pulling clear. Laurence Clark with the dip, might | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
not be enough. Another strong run from Omar McLeod. Little stumble out | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
of the blocks. Once he got into his running, finishing strongly. What | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
you are trying to do coming out of the blocks trying to get your knees | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
together, when you first foot goes down, you want the second knee to | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
come through, popping off the blocks. To get a lot of speed. If | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
you delay that, putting your foot down, don't stabilise, causing the | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
stumble. Omar McLeod, no doubt he is very, Dimitri Bascou he knows it, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Laurence Clark not going through to the final. Laurence Clarkin sixth | :05:16. | :05:37. | |
place. -- Laurence Clarke. Dimitri Bascou not looking good in the | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
semifinal. Not the sort of performance you want to go away, and | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
to contemplate. Disappointed, the time I made the final was my | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
season's best. Good start, did not hold it together for the last | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
hurdle. Indoor season, the Olympics is what matters. Need to keep | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
working. Isobel Pooley, Great Britain. She gave it a wobble. Just | :06:04. | :06:13. | |
a little bit. Probably cold, standing about for 20 odd minutes. | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
Just leading with the inside arm. Taking across the bar. For me, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
should go upwards, following the hand. Just pushing it towards the | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
bar, that takes heaven. Big moment on home soil, the American Henderson | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
is leading. Is that good enough? Difficult to see at that speed. It | :06:42. | :06:52. | |
is beyond eight metres. Dendy not liking it. Retains his height well. | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
Not a fan of the dip and drive. A good jump. He takes the lead, a jump | :07:01. | :07:10. | |
of 8.2 six. America in one and to . No Mo Farah, loving talked about | :07:11. | :07:34. | |
him, O'Farrell does giving this final. -- does go. Final of the | :07:35. | :07:47. | |
men's 3000 metres. This will get cluttered. We wonder what the pace | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
will be. There are some of these with a good kick finish. We saw a | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
scorching last 100 metres from unit could | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
. Right now we have Ryan Hill at the front. He is running with his | :08:06. | :08:33. | |
training partner, they work day in, day out down the road. There are a | :08:34. | :08:46. | |
lot of guys sitting in their fee would not fancy the kicks against | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
the likes of Kejelcha. If he goes on to long at this pace, some of the | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
patients is -- some of their patients may slip. At the back Ndiku | :09:03. | :09:20. | |
thirsty strike. Gotten a bit of trouble he moved round. Why he was | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
staying out of the back after what happened in the heat. Now there is a | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
bit of shoving, did not want to relinquish the lead, Ndiku. But a | :09:34. | :09:50. | |
bit of a shove in the back. Ryan Hill, then Kejelcha, the tall | :09:51. | :09:51. | |
figure. Iguider making his move. Lee Emanuel | :09:52. | :10:13. | |
losing place with the group. Ndiku saying first place is mine, I want | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
to lead from the front. Ndiku has not quite go past. Look Ryan Hill, | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
keeping himself in a really good position all the way through the | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
race, not easy, keeping up there, responding to the moves. The last | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
couple hundred metres were both 20 seconds. That was the lifting of the | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
pace. There is Kejelcha, rather ungainly running style. He is behind | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
Ndiku. Bachir slipping away. Now Kejelcha | :10:51. | :11:15. | |
strikes, making his move. They are trying to make Iguider hurt, taking | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
turns. They will be testing him, in a way we may not have seen and | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
tested so far this year. These four separating. Ryan Hill trying to hang | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
on with the home support. It is Kejelcha, and Iguider. Iguider | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
strikes. Around the outside. Kejelcha out in front. Can he hang | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
on, the 18-year-old? Iguider trying to get back. Little that the from | :11:47. | :11:59. | |
Kejelcha. Still driving hard. Choge round the outside. Kejelcha for the | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
gold, Ryan Hill gets the silver ahead of Choge. It is gold for | :12:08. | :12:16. | |
Kejelcha. Silver for Ryan Hill, what a net 30 made to take that. Brave | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
move from the youngster. We question his tactics, how he ran in the | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
heats. Still have the drive at the finish in the final. Hard earned | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
gold medal for the man from Ethiopia. Pretty boring race early | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
on, not a boring finish at all. 2.2 to in the last 1000, a lot of that | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
in the last 600 metres or so. Kejelcha hitting the front, then | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
coming away. Look where Ryan Hill came from. Still making ground on | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
the last term from -- last turn. He really ran well to snatch that | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
silver. Put himself in a good position. Choge did all the running, | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
did not have the pace to stay with Kejelcha in those closings stages. | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
We know Kejelcha is very quick, he will be a real danger for Mo Farah | :13:15. | :13:23. | |
in Rio. Ryan Hill taking it on the line, the silver from Choge. | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
Confirmation of the result. The final of the men's 3000 metres. Gold | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
from the eight -- for the 18-year-old from Ethiopia. Ryan Hill | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
taking the silver ahead of Choge. Lee Emanuel down in sixth place. | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
Cunningham, of the United States. Exciting, precocious youngster, in | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
terms of her physical talent. That is how to do it. The one piece of | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
the jigsaw which was under pressure, what she would do in major | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
championships? She has answered that, what she has done so far. No | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
failures. In first place. Dominating the women's high jump final. Vashti | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
Cunningham. Fabrice LaPierre, of Australia, no stranger to major | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
championships. Silver behind Greg Rutherford last summer. Round three, | :14:24. | :14:35. | |
big effort for him. Fabrice LaPierre, 7.78 in the second round, | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
we are in round three. Very tidy. Good balance. Straight down the | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
centre of the sandpit. Efficient use of force. Almost perfect on the | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
board. Very tidy indeed. Fabrice LaPierre, a .2 five. New Australian | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
indoor record, in second place. In doors, four laps of the track and | :14:59. | :15:26. | |
if you are going to front run you have to be confident and get your | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
pacing just right. Yes and you have to go like Wilson has, get to the | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
front and be able to control the field. We wondered if it was too | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
quick, we also saw Wilson in the first round go to the front and | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
control the race and I think that is what she is more likely to do rather | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
than go out at a suicidal pace. Solid but not too fast, nothing | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
silly from Wilson, controlling it. Just jostling elbows, cannot decide | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
what they want to do, decides to take it out, go quicker. Wilson has | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
the ruling quashed the lead and then just moves out across the heels. She | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
has some room. Finally has some space and moves on the shoulder of | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
the Kenyan. She has moved right to the front and a big battle, did not | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
want to let her get past but she had to allow her past and she is still | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
moving away, she has put in a big surge on this lap. They have won and | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
medal in this event in the past. But going for gold, Wilson looks as if | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
she is spent. Has left it way too late coming from the back. | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
Maintaining the pace. Wilson trying to lift herself, the crowd doing | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
their best and closing in, still in front, Wilson starts to attack | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
around the bend. Is there enough time? She's going to get there, | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
Goldsboro Burundi. Then Wilson. -- gold for Burundi. Not superfast but | :17:23. | :17:33. | |
I think for me she grabbed the race by the scruff of the neck and Wilson | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
got caught in third and stayed too long behind, never got close enough | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
to the front, tried to attack over the last 100 metres but there was | :17:44. | :17:44. | |
too much to do. I think the damage was done in the | :17:45. | :18:08. | |
third 200 metres. 29.22, the fastest lap of the race. | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
Mark Rowland has now coached her, he will be delighted with her | :18:15. | :18:28. | |
performance, tactically. Wilson will be disappointed with the silver | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
medal, I am sure. The women's high jump, in sixth | :18:31. | :18:44. | |
place, second attempt, that is better! | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
She joins Cunningham at 1.9 six. That takes her second. | :18:52. | :19:06. | |
36 years old, double the age of Cunningham. But still incredibly | :19:07. | :19:15. | |
capable. She has jumped 1.98 this year, but she has eight foul at 1.96 | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
which we have seen coming and clear. Second attempt. That's better. Great | :19:22. | :19:33. | |
jump. That keeps her hopes alive. The next height is 1.99. The | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
Lithuanian has had to Maxwell years at 1.96, needs this to stay in the | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
competition and perhaps get amongst the medals. Yes, the slightest of | :19:47. | :19:57. | |
rattles but she goes clear. Isobel Pooley went out at the previous | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
height so she will not feature any further. | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
Next on the track the women's 3000 metres featuring this seemingly all | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
conquering women. She looks strong! It is all about Dibaba! Dibaba gets | :20:14. | :20:29. | |
the gold! That's a look at the line-up, number | :20:30. | :20:46. | |
one does not start, the Polish athlete. | :20:47. | :21:01. | |
Must have been interesting watching the rise while she was away starting | :21:02. | :21:10. | |
a family but those two on the outside flanking Stephanie Twell | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
will be the women to beat. Saina Out in front. This opening lap | :21:14. | :21:38. | |
they are just jogging around. We will wait and see who's patients | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
snaps first and who makes a move to the front, it might be Stephanie | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
Twell because although she started her career as a world junior 1500 | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
metre champion she now knows she is probably a lot stronger at the | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
longer distances and will want this to be a good, honest pace from the | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
start. She moves into the front shadowed by Kudzelich who will also | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
want the pace to keep ticking along. Making sure she is in a position to | :22:07. | :22:23. | |
react to anything which goes on in the early stages of this race. | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
Kudzelich looked like she wanted to raise the pace but was not keen to | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
go to the front but eventually decided she had to. | :22:33. | :22:45. | |
Waiting at the back, Genzebe Dibaba. It would have been interesting, | :22:46. | :22:58. | |
Genzebe Dibaba just at the back just watching, biding her time as | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
Kudzelich continues to take them around. Shannon robbery is theft at | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
the moment -- Rowbury. Genzebe Dibaba just deciding to take | :23:07. | :23:23. | |
control of the race, everybody suddenly picks up and is more alert | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
and the pace has lifted. I don't know if Stephanie Twell caught sight | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
of Genzebe Dibaba moving up, maybe she got a chance to look at the | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
screen or maybe she decided enough was enough and needed to do | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
something about picking up the pace but she has got herself into a good | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
position. All the girls behind suddenly having to react, Stephanie | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
Twell reacting the best at the moment. It stretches and it is the | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
favourite to has opened up this race, Genzebe Dibaba has decided | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
enough is enough. I was wondering if the championship record might go and | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
because of the slow opening few laps it will not go, set way back in | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
1989, Genzebe Dibaba could have had it if she wanted, but she could | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
still threaten if she decides to turn it on but she has already blown | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
away the field. Stephanie Twell in a good position. Genzebe Dibaba | :24:23. | :24:36. | |
putting on a bit of an exhibition at the moment. The reason the field is | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
strung out is that Genzebe Dibaba did inject a fast lap into the race. | :24:43. | :24:55. | |
Increasing the pace that quickly will do damage, Stephanie Twell was | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
in a good position but has reacted well to it and staying with it so | :25:01. | :25:01. | |
far. Gap has not opened up any further, | :25:02. | :25:27. | |
Stephanie Twell just ahead of Defar. The gap beginning to narrow a little | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
bit, Defar hanging onto the back of Stephanie Twell. Genzebe Dibaba not | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
moving any further away from the field at the moment. Just looking to | :25:37. | :25:46. | |
see where she was placed. Rowbury still pretty well-placed. Rowbury | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
took her time at moving through, she did not react quickly when Genzebe | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
Dibaba went to the front, but now she has got herself into a good | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
position so starting to think she was not feeling great out there but | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
now she is looking as if she is raising more products over medal and | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
not concerned with what Genzebe Dibaba does. Stephanie Twell just | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
hanging on at the moment, beginning to lose some contact perhaps, | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
Rowbury coming past her, Stephanie Twell has two dead in here. Genzebe | :26:23. | :26:32. | |
Dibaba stretching out again. Defar with all her experience is battling | :26:33. | :26:41. | |
for the silver medal at the moment. Genzebe Dibaba along weakly at the | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
moment, another gold medal will surely be harassed, again lifting | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
the knees and driving on, the gap opens again -- surely be hers. | :26:51. | :26:59. | |
Stephanie Twell coming through with three laps to go beginning to lose a | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
bit of touch with the group of four athletes who are battling for sober | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
and bronze. Defar beginning to separate herself a little bit. This | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
place is doing some damage and it will do that if you put in a 64 | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
second any 400 metres in the middle and then settle back to 67 it is | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
like you're slowing down but 67 is still a very quick pace. That is why | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
these women are struggling to make any inroads on Genzebe Dibaba, Defar | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
is the only one truly capable and it now looks like a battle for the | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
bronze medal. Is Rowbury getting some daylight? She is. But Genzebe | :27:44. | :27:53. | |
Dibaba with about 300 metres to go, long, long way clear of Defar, | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
striding towards another gold medal, the bell sounds and another majestic | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
performance from Genzebe Dibaba. She is going to lap the back of the | :28:04. | :28:11. | |
field. Genzebe Dibaba, Defar in the silver medal position and Rowbury | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
actually beginning to close on her. Genzebe Dibaba all the way around. | :28:17. | :28:25. | |
Striding toward another gold medal. What an athlete this women is. It | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
will be gold here at the world indoors. It will be silver for Defar | :28:30. | :28:40. | |
and Rowbury takes the bronze. In contrast to the men's 3000 it was | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
not such a close finish. Stephanie Twell coming through in about six. | :28:45. | :28:53. | |
Genzebe Dibaba, what a performance, it was just the injection of pace | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
she had, she took it on and killed them with that 32nd 200 metres in | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
the middle of the race. -- 30, seconds. Genzebe Dibaba was so far | :29:05. | :29:10. | |
ahead of the rest of the girls she was able to do that, able to put in | :29:11. | :29:16. | |
a 31 second 200 metres in the middle of the race and blow it apart and | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
then just go onto cruise control, did not have to use the final gear | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
at the end because she had so much of a cushion. Let's wrap this up, it | :29:24. | :29:31. | |
was a demonstration from Genzebe Dibaba. | :29:32. | :29:46. | |
The road to Rio's Olympics is a long one. Watch Mo Farah put in the extra | :29:47. | :29:54. | |
miles of the Cardiff half marathon World Championship on BBC One. | :29:55. | :30:02. | |
Should be another great weekend in store next week. As the British | :30:03. | :30:05. | |
record-holder, Mo Farah may take a special interest in the next event | :30:06. | :30:11. | |
on the track, the men's 1500 metres final. Chris O'Hare goes for Great | :30:12. | :30:21. | |
Britain. The home crowd will be hoping Matt Centrowitz will give | :30:22. | :30:28. | |
them something to cheer. Robbie Andrews always dangerous in a slower | :30:29. | :30:38. | |
race. It is always likely to be that way indoors. The 1500 gets under | :30:39. | :30:50. | |
way. Some pushing and Jocelyn, as you might expect. Three and a half | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
laps of the track indoors. Willis goes in front. The man who won the | :30:56. | :31:03. | |
silver medal last time, Wote on the inside. Matthew Centrowitz up there. | :31:04. | :31:13. | |
Chris O'Hare, for the time being happy to watch what is going on | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
through the first 200. They go through that in 29 seconds. All of a | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
sudden, it all slows down. The man who anticipate that was Nick Willis, | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
running a very smooth and controlled first 200 metres. Letting everyone | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
jostle for position. Now slotting into the place where he likes to | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
sit. He can watch what is going on, and is poised to react. The question | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
is, is he able to react as quickly and swiftly as he has in previous | :31:46. | :31:53. | |
years? 32 seconds for the next 200 metres. Nick Willis is well aware of | :31:54. | :32:02. | |
the ability of Centrowitz. The key is don't give people too much of a | :32:03. | :32:06. | |
head start. When it kicks off, and it will do, you want to be close. | :32:07. | :32:13. | |
Over the first 400 metres Willis uses his experience, saying it is | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
not going to stay slow for too much longer, so is Chris O'Hare, good | :32:18. | :32:24. | |
tactical brain, put himself in a good position. Even slower at 33. | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
People wondering why Chris O'Hare was running so why, in lane three. | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
1500 metres indoors, that extra distance running wife versus the | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
ability to react and get to the front if someone inject some real | :32:40. | :32:48. | |
change of pace is is worth it. The Americans have never won this title, | :32:49. | :32:52. | |
some bronze medals, all the way back to Geoff Atkinson, for the first | :32:53. | :32:58. | |
time the Americans heading for Centrowitz will stop Chris O'Hare. | :32:59. | :33:05. | |
Centrowitz realising he needs to get in a better position, blocking Chris | :33:06. | :33:12. | |
O'Hare. Wote on the inside, silver medallist last time. Chris O'Hare | :33:13. | :33:19. | |
almost takes a tumble. Did well there, hurdling the back leg to get | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
into a better position. Nick Willis comes round everybody. | :33:25. | :33:50. | |
Souleiman going backwards. Chris O'Hare in sixth. It is Wolde. It is | :33:51. | :34:04. | |
New Zealand from the USA. The crowd are on their feet in this Oregon | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
Convention Centre. Hoping Centrowitz can deliver a gold medal. Willis | :34:09. | :34:14. | |
striking for home. A couple of Ethiopians chasing. What can | :34:15. | :34:19. | |
Centrowitz do on the last bend? Nick Willis in front. Here comes Matthew | :34:20. | :34:30. | |
Centrowitz. He gets the gold. Nick Willis in bronze. | :34:31. | :34:43. | |
Holusa in second place. Many people would not have expected the African | :34:44. | :34:52. | |
contingent left trailing by the two sprinters, Nick Willis, the age of | :34:53. | :34:57. | |
32. You have to hand it to him, gave it a go. Maybe in the effort to get | :34:58. | :35:05. | |
the gold, handing it to Centrowitz, smart enough to follow him. Hometown | :35:06. | :35:14. | |
victory, just what the crowd wanted. A smile of relief from Matthew | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
Centrowitz. Very nearly lost it, the way Nick Willis threw down the | :35:20. | :35:26. | |
gauntlet from the front. Holusa comes from back in sixth position. | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
So much to make up with 100 metres to go. Nick Willis was starting to | :35:32. | :35:40. | |
tire, you sense. Centrowitz also signing up, have to be aware of | :35:41. | :35:44. | |
Holusa, the crowd must have let him know. Holusa should've been asking | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
the questions, not in position when Nick Willis took off. Matthew | :35:51. | :35:56. | |
Centrowitz a bit slow, but not as far as Holusa. Robbie Andrews also | :35:57. | :36:04. | |
close fast over the final lap. Matthew Centrowitz will not be | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
bothered by the winning time. The important thing is getting the gold | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
medal for the USA. Holusa finish so quickly. He will be delighted with | :36:13. | :36:19. | |
the silver. Well done to Nick Willis, tried to win it. Chris | :36:20. | :36:27. | |
O'Hare down in eighth place. It was a pretty good race, managed to keep | :36:28. | :36:36. | |
myself out of trouble. Did not take too much as I running. 300 to go, I | :36:37. | :36:44. | |
went for the last year, it was not there. Dan Bramble having a good | :36:45. | :36:53. | |
competition for Great Britain. Season's best, the first time he has | :36:54. | :36:56. | |
gone over eight metres indoors. He has two attack it now. Hitting the | :36:57. | :37:04. | |
ball well. That is a good jump. He needs one in excess of 8.19 to get | :37:05. | :37:10. | |
in the top four, to get a place in the last round. 8.14. His | :37:11. | :37:23. | |
competition is over. We come back to the high jump, getting towards the | :37:24. | :37:28. | |
business end. Bit of an anti-climax there. Thought we were going to | :37:29. | :37:35. | |
something special, that is the end of her evening's jumping. The | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
defending IAAF champion, she has to go clear. The time failure for. | :37:41. | :37:49. | |
Third place. She had top place on the rostrum with the Russian | :37:50. | :37:56. | |
athlete, of course no Russians competing here because of the ban. | :37:57. | :38:06. | |
Third time effort, and a failure. That signals the end of the | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
competition for her. The end of the medal situation for Cunningham, the | :38:12. | :38:18. | |
young American. She has taken goal. I wonder if she has worked this out. | :38:19. | :38:24. | |
She's so composed, for 18 years of age. Rarely do we see athletes | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
coming into the sport but are so measured. Very impressive indeed. | :38:30. | :38:41. | |
Not to be on this occasion, maybe some new talent Vashti Cunningham. | :38:42. | :38:49. | |
She had a world leading mark last week. No small matter of the world | :38:50. | :38:58. | |
junior record, such as her talent. Tall, rangy, fast and dynamic. She | :38:59. | :39:06. | |
was a bit front on with that one. She's sprinting faster, when she | :39:07. | :39:09. | |
does the shoulders are ahead, taking her into the bar. Goal for vastly | :39:10. | :39:16. | |
Cunningham. -- gold for Vashti Cunningham. The gold rush for the | :39:17. | :39:31. | |
United States continuing. You can see his best, 8.19. He is the first | :39:32. | :39:36. | |
to jump of the four athletes that will get a jump in the last, sixth | :39:37. | :39:47. | |
and final round. Chasing a .2 six. -- chasing 8.20 six. | :39:48. | :39:57. | |
This may challenge the lead, he is saying second. Producing something | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
very special in the last round. Drifting off to the left. Losing | :40:04. | :40:12. | |
distance from that, I would suggest. How | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
-- lifetime best takes him up to third place. There are your | :40:19. | :40:24. | |
medallists, all over. Dendy dominated. There are your | :40:25. | :40:41. | |
confirmations of the medallists. Another American gold medal. Good | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
performance from Dan Bramble, of Great Britain. The women are ready | :40:46. | :40:58. | |
for the final of the four by 400 metres relay. America are the strong | :40:59. | :41:13. | |
favourites, of course things can happen in replays. There is the | :41:14. | :41:27. | |
Jamaican quartet. Perhaps the strongest contenders for silver, | :41:28. | :41:28. | |
behind the United States. The Nigerian quartet. They have | :41:29. | :41:59. | |
Benjamin and George, in their four, part of the Commonwealth Games | :42:00. | :42:06. | |
silver relay. No British quartet, bit of a shame. Would have certainly | :42:07. | :42:17. | |
challenge from medal. The way they go, the United States with a great | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
success in this one. Natasha Hastings taking it into the lead | :42:24. | :42:24. | |
immediately. Our Pastor tries to reply. Patricia Hall | :42:25. | :42:47. | |
tucking into fourth place. Natasha Hastings can a look at things. Down | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
go Jamaica. Patricia Hall stumble in. Almost handing this to America. | :42:54. | :42:59. | |
Definitely the strongest team by a long way. The lead is already | :43:00. | :43:04. | |
opening up. Patricia Hall crashing to the ground. Hastings handing over | :43:05. | :43:13. | |
to Hayes. She is away and clear. This will be a one country race. | :43:14. | :43:21. | |
Gold medal, look at the lead that pays has. Close for silver and | :43:22. | :43:27. | |
bronze. The Polish athlete took down the Jamaican. Patricia Hall. We may | :43:28. | :43:35. | |
get the chance to look at it again. Look at the battle behind the | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
American. A long way back. A victory march already for the Americans stop | :43:40. | :43:45. | |
it is how far they choose to win by. A fierce battle developing behind, | :43:46. | :43:52. | |
Nigeria, Poland and America. Very impressive performance from America. | :43:53. | :43:59. | |
Hayes handing over. Look at the leave they have. A bit of a shame | :44:00. | :44:08. | |
that Britain when not in this. There was a medal for Great Britain. Seren | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
Bundy-Davies and others concentrating on preparations for | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
Rio. The teams get invited to come as a team, America office only going | :44:18. | :44:24. | |
to be there. They are running quick, a lot of names in this America team | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
that are not familiar. The men broke the world record of the last indoor | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
Championships. Not going to be superfast here. Good running, they | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
can run very relaxed. Poland is moving into second place. There is a | :44:40. | :44:46. | |
scrap for silver and bronze between Poland and Nigeria. This is a | :44:47. | :44:50. | |
procession for America. Spencer taking the bat on. I wonder how | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
close they can get to the championship record. In terms of | :44:55. | :45:00. | |
times they may be behind Russia are set in Budapest in 2008. It is a | :45:01. | :45:07. | |
stroll for Ashley Spencer. Fierce battle behind. | :45:08. | :45:17. | |
We shall see who shall take the silver and bronze medals but for the | :45:18. | :45:23. | |
United States the gap continues to grow and the crowd continued to | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
cheer for in other hole gold medal to come. It's scoring to be gold for | :45:29. | :45:38. | |
the Quartet. Ashley Spencer bringing home the United States, outside the | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
championship record but a long way clear and the celebrations begin, | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
Paul and take the silver ahead of Romania for the bronze. -- Poland | :45:49. | :45:59. | |
take the silver. Gold, as expected, Jamaica would have challenged, | :46:00. | :46:01. | |
probably would have taken silver if they could stay on their feet but | :46:02. | :46:07. | |
unfortunately did not. Another gold for the whole nation. That time is | :46:08. | :46:19. | |
very respectable, Jamaica would not have beaten that, did not have | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
enough ability in the rest of the team. Moving out and just caught by | :46:24. | :46:30. | |
the Polish athlete, just catching her seals and she crashes to the | :46:31. | :46:35. | |
ground, not much she can do about that. Left a very relaxed | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
performance from the American team, this young lady, Ashley Spencer, is | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
a very good talent for me, not sure if she is suited for indoor, takes | :46:45. | :46:48. | |
the bend a little wide but I look forward to seeing more of her. | :46:49. | :47:06. | |
Onto the lasts individual track event, the 60-metre hurdles. | :47:07. | :47:29. | |
The world student games champion from a couple of years ago, had a | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
good Championships, performed well to get into the final. This is the | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
American champion, equalled his season 's best with 7.52 in the | :47:40. | :47:51. | |
semifinal. The tall figure of Martinot-Lagarde, silver-medallist | :47:52. | :47:57. | |
in these championship is two years ago, the European indoor champion. | :47:58. | :48:08. | |
Omar McLeod ran under 13 seconds for the first time in the full event | :48:09. | :48:11. | |
outdoors, the 110 metres. The Commonwealth bronze-medallist | :48:12. | :48:39. | |
outdoors, Brathwaite. Martinot-Lagarde, on his day... | :48:40. | :48:48. | |
Capable of beating anybody. But the man coming into these championships | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
he thought would be his main contender Bascou. In between the | :48:54. | :49:03. | |
Frenchman, Omar McLeod of Jamaica. The middle lanes. | :49:04. | :49:23. | |
Eaton gets the best start but in the middle McLeod is going well for | :49:24. | :49:30. | |
Jamaica, McLeod is going to get the gold! Martinot-Lagarde might have | :49:31. | :49:35. | |
nicked the silver from his team-mates but it is Jamaica's first | :49:36. | :49:43. | |
gold medal of these championships. Right at the time they needed it | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
most, the others left trailing behind him. The Jamaican got out | :49:48. | :49:55. | |
well, Eaton got a very good start but was not able to maintain it. | :49:56. | :50:00. | |
Right in the middle, the French men either side of them, Omar McLeod | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
focused and ran as a superb race. Equals the world lead. We said it | :50:07. | :50:12. | |
would have to be well under 7.52 win and that is what he produced, what a | :50:13. | :50:19. | |
performance. You have seen an athlete who managed to keep his | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
rhythm together, make his three strides fit between the hurdles and | :50:26. | :50:31. | |
maintain his foot speed. The quality finally came through, did not see | :50:32. | :50:34. | |
much of it in the semifinal but all four men, even with a good start, | :50:35. | :50:40. | |
Martinot-Lagarde had work to do, almost got there, but that is four | :50:41. | :50:45. | |
very good performances. Omar is up bright and early and if you look at | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
his foot speed, I appreciate you can see that on the slow motion but | :50:50. | :50:53. | |
between the hurdles very quick feet, staying away from the hurdle which | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
means he travels over much better. Great performance. | :50:58. | :51:15. | |
It is surreal right now, never in a million years did I think I would be | :51:16. | :51:21. | |
the champion at the age of 21 but it all comes with hard work, giving God | :51:22. | :51:27. | |
thanks, act setting here I am and going into the event and going out | :51:28. | :51:33. | |
there and having fun each time. The final event of the World | :51:34. | :51:40. | |
Championships. That is how they line up, the United States will be so | :51:41. | :51:43. | |
keen to finish with a gold medal in this final event of the | :51:44. | :51:51. | |
Championships. Sad to see no British quartet again. Like the women, just | :51:52. | :51:56. | |
a case of not enough athletes targeting the world indoors. | :51:57. | :52:04. | |
Focusing their efforts elsewhere. Trinidad and Tobago in Lane 1. | :52:05. | :52:19. | |
Our harsh inside the arena for the final event. -- a hush. | :52:20. | :52:35. | |
Cleanly away, it is the knighted States who will take off the | :52:36. | :52:42. | |
favourites on the opening leg, Abe bronze-medallist in the world | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
indoors two years ago but it's barely even at the moment. The | :52:47. | :52:54. | |
Bahamas coming through. He leads at the moment, just ahead of the United | :52:55. | :53:01. | |
States. But the tall Belgian trying to get into position but he is | :53:02. | :53:04. | |
shrugged out the way by the United States. The Bahamas still leading, | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
the American will want to give his second man the lead going into the | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
second leg. It is close at the minute. The United States pushing | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
on, and Jamaica coming through, Belgium in fourth. Trinidad just | :53:21. | :53:27. | |
trying to hold on. A lot of ground to make up, lost a few yards as did | :53:28. | :53:37. | |
the Belgians. The USA leading, Smith with the bat and in his hand being | :53:38. | :53:49. | |
chased down by Russell. Gordon coming around the outside, it's all | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
beginning to tighten up, even Jamaica are in with an opportunity. | :53:54. | :53:57. | |
Calvin Smith beginning to tie up a little bit at the front so they will | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
bunch up, let's see what happens at the handoff. What a close race, | :54:02. | :54:10. | |
Jamaica just beginning to lose touch, they have dropped the Batten! | :54:11. | :54:19. | |
Belgium have dropped the baton! The United States and the Bahamas, | :54:20. | :54:25. | |
Trinidad and Tobago trying to keep pace. United States moving a bit | :54:26. | :54:32. | |
further clear, what a disappointment for Belgium and for the race. The | :54:33. | :54:42. | |
Americans opening up a bit of a lead on the Bahamas. Trying to remain in | :54:43. | :54:45. | |
touch to give Chris Brown something to chase down on the final leg. But | :54:46. | :54:53. | |
the Americans will goal with a handsome lead. I cannot see them | :54:54. | :54:59. | |
getting beaten now, the Bahamas will now have to try to hold off Trinidad | :55:00. | :55:07. | |
and Tobago. The only thing now is how quickly can America go? Coming | :55:08. | :55:15. | |
home and not just for the gold medal but a quick time as well. Has a huge | :55:16. | :55:26. | |
lead. The Caribbean Battle for silver and bronze. It's a handsome | :55:27. | :55:35. | |
victory for the United States. Another gold medal for the United | :55:36. | :55:43. | |
States in Oregon. The United States once again going to the gold medal. | :55:44. | :55:52. | |
The Bahamas silver. But the United States a long wait clear and asking | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
for more celebrations from the crowd as well he might. | :55:57. | :56:09. | |
The United States with another gold medal to celebrate and a quick time. | :56:10. | :56:18. | |
It is when they cut over, just catches the arm. He steps inside the | :56:19. | :56:26. | |
track to retrieve the baton which I don't think you're allowed to do, so | :56:27. | :56:32. | |
might be disqualified anyway. But the last leg, 44.99 which is a | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
cracking split. But it's much easier to run when you are relaxed, don't | :56:39. | :56:43. | |
have to worry, the whole crowd cheering for you, you know you have | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
the gold medal. And a fresh athlete who was disqualified in the main | :56:49. | :56:56. | |
event for running on his line. Could have got the world record. | :56:57. | :57:03. | |
The medal table looks very good for the United States. | :57:04. | :57:27. | |
No gold medals for Great Britain, Silver medal for Robbie Grabaz. A | :57:28. | :57:42. | |
special programme, I have been granted special access to follow | :57:43. | :57:46. | |
Sebastian Coe at the headquarters in Monaco, I ask him about the | :57:47. | :57:51. | |
controversy and we get his views on the future. | :57:52. | :57:57. | |
Mo Farah will be headlining the British team. That is it for our | :57:58. | :58:06. | |
coverage from the world indoor athletics, three medals for Great | :58:07. | :58:10. | |
Britain, double play at the lower end of expectations but the nation | :58:11. | :58:14. | |
certainly excelled in front of their home crowd. The exciting year of | :58:15. | :58:24. | |
athletics on the BBC continues, goodbye. | :58:25. | :58:29. | |
A true festival of running! Breaks world record! So many excited | :58:30. | :58:55. | |
runners setting off. It's going to be close isn't it?! That is good! He | :58:56. | :59:04. | |
has just done what he does best. What does it have in store for us | :59:05. | :59:11. | |
this year? That is a huge jump! It's a perfect day! | :59:12. | :59:14. |
