:00:49. > :00:57.Hello and welcome to highlights of the World Indoor Championships from
:00:58. > :01:03.Portland, Oregon. We have an action packed hour ahead with plenty of
:01:04. > :01:07.medal chances for the British team. Tiffani Porter has the world indoor
:01:08. > :01:15.bronze medal and silver medals in the 60-metre medals. Angie Abba Gold
:01:16. > :01:24.medal rush to mark the men's 60 metres is on and James desolating
:01:25. > :01:29.leads the charge. Morgan Lake is in the pentathlon but she will face a
:01:30. > :01:34.tough battle to make the podium. After a breakthrough silver medal
:01:35. > :01:43.last year, Shara Proctor is one of the favourites in the long jump. An
:01:44. > :01:45.enthusiastic crowd packed out the Convention Centre on Thursday night
:01:46. > :01:52.with all eyes on the Olympic champion. But expectant fans would
:01:53. > :02:02.have to wait because he sat out several early rounds. He has done
:02:03. > :02:10.it. But the big surprise was the form of Shaughnessy Barber. He has
:02:11. > :02:18.only got one chance at this. It wasn't to be this evening. His
:02:19. > :02:32.failure means the poll gets the bronze medal. The first tiny little
:02:33. > :02:35.blip from Barber. It was left to the American, Sam Kendricks to put the
:02:36. > :02:37.pressure on. blip from Barber. It was left to the
:02:38. > :02:42.American, Sam Kendricks to put the pressure on. Having passed up 575,
:02:43. > :02:50.he finds himself out of the medals. Yes! He has got the confidence and
:02:51. > :02:59.he's got the belief. Got a battle on your hands.
:03:00. > :03:14.Huge sense of expectation. The world record holder... Yes! Oh my goodness
:03:15. > :03:22.me. And now Sam Kendricks is under pressure. The pressure told and he
:03:23. > :03:32.was unable to clear five metres 90, but claimed the silver.
:03:33. > :03:40.Yes, not only does he retain his world indoor title, it is a
:03:41. > :03:47.championship record. He is in a class all have his own. The
:03:48. > :03:57.Frenchman raised the bar again to a potential world record raking six
:03:58. > :04:10.metres 17. Has he hurt himself? He is OK. He is OK. It is good to drive
:04:11. > :04:17.to jump pretty high. To take the win at the six-metre jump, I was secure.
:04:18. > :04:22.The championship record the me, it means a lot. But the first time ever
:04:23. > :04:36.in women's pole vault competition, all four competitors clear four
:04:37. > :04:41.metres 80. Yes, yes, yes! Katarina Stefan Aigner jihad managed a
:04:42. > :04:50.faultless performance. That successful clearance saw the Greek
:04:51. > :04:58.go on to win the bronze. The US hair battled it out for the title. Can
:04:59. > :05:06.she go over four metres and 85? Yes! The successful clearance from
:05:07. > :05:14.Morris. Put her team-mate go one better for the championship record?
:05:15. > :05:20.Well, well, well! She punches the air. Gold for the American, but
:05:21. > :05:27.there wasn't to be another world record attempt. To win the gold
:05:28. > :05:34.medal on home soil means a lot. It is a good build-up for the out door,
:05:35. > :05:39.but it starts clean on Olympic trials day. Seven events over two
:05:40. > :05:44.days will decide who will be the heptathlon champion for the men. In
:05:45. > :05:50.the first of two 60-metre heats, it was Kurt Felix who crossed the line
:05:51. > :05:58.first. But the second heat, it was all about Ashton Eaton looking to
:05:59. > :06:03.add to his medal tally home soil. He didn't disappoint in the opening
:06:04. > :06:09.events, putting him top of the leaderboard followed closely by
:06:10. > :06:16.Alexey Cassie on. The Ukrainian cleared an impressive 7.49 in the
:06:17. > :06:22.long jump. But the American managed a massive eight metres and eight
:06:23. > :06:28.centimetres. Much to his delight and that of the home crowd. Alan Curtis
:06:29. > :06:39.speech took the opportunity to get into the running for a medal. --
:06:40. > :06:47.Curtis beach. A continued solid display in the shot put. But to the
:06:48. > :06:51.surprise of those in the crowd in Portland, the man at the top through
:06:52. > :06:57.an overthrow on his first attempt. But later did register 40 metres and
:06:58. > :07:03.16 centimetres, enough to keep him in the gold medal position for now.
:07:04. > :07:14.But it was Felix who topped the bill in this discipline. That put him
:07:15. > :07:20.back into third place. Beach reminded people he was still in the
:07:21. > :07:25.running. This allowed Felix to finish the day in second place after
:07:26. > :07:31.an impressive two metres and 11 centimetre clearance. Meaning, at
:07:32. > :07:38.the end of the first day of competition, Eaton holds on to first
:07:39. > :07:43.place and Cassie are not in third with it all to play for. Heat one of
:07:44. > :08:08.the 60-metre hurdles in the women. So Rita Solomon has to get in the
:08:09. > :08:20.top two, if she is to make it through. Solomon is away.
:08:21. > :08:33.Top two only guaranteed a place. It was a decent run from Solomon.
:08:34. > :08:40.Rollins has been in such good form. Welcome and good evening to Tony
:08:41. > :08:50.alongside me. Rollins, as expected, but Solomon was quick. Do you think
:08:51. > :08:54.she has a chance? If she can get K eight seconds or close to eight
:08:55. > :08:57.seconds dead, it might be good enough to make the final.
:08:58. > :09:08.Confirmation of the result of the first heat.
:09:09. > :09:12.Solomon has got to cross her fingers and hope it is quick enough. The
:09:13. > :09:39.second heat. Tiffani Porter should be able to go
:09:40. > :09:43.through. Daniel Williams, despite being the world champion outdoors,
:09:44. > :09:49.is not so good at 60 metres hurdles in doors. It should be between
:09:50. > :09:54.Porter and Ali, closest to the camera. Porter was left in the
:09:55. > :10:02.blocks, a bad start from her. Williams has gone out. It leaves it
:10:03. > :10:07.clear that Ali and Porter, getting what was a bit of a ropey start for
:10:08. > :10:12.Porter. I said Williams might struggle. Not as quick in doors,
:10:13. > :10:20.prefers the full distance outdoors. Ali, very good. Porter not so good.
:10:21. > :10:26.Terrible start. She put her arm up into the air and went vertical
:10:27. > :10:32.straightaway. Took a short step off. Didn't really drive out. Williams,
:10:33. > :10:36.making a mess of it helped Porter get through in an automatic
:10:37. > :10:45.qualifying position. On to the final heat. Things are looking good for
:10:46. > :10:50.Solomon, she is still the fastest of the fastest losers. With only two
:10:51. > :10:53.fastest loser spot available, only one more race to go. Rings not
:10:54. > :11:03.looking too bad for her. Another cracking start from
:11:04. > :11:12.Harrison. Just putting a bit of daylight between herself and the
:11:13. > :11:15.others. Matching her team-mate Rollins. They are looking head and
:11:16. > :11:32.shoulders above the others. We will have to see who goes through
:11:33. > :11:39.as the two fastest losers. But certainly Solomon will be one of
:11:40. > :11:43.them. It was tight in terms of times between Harrison and Rollins. You
:11:44. > :11:50.imagine they would either two contesting the gold medal. Ali will
:11:51. > :11:55.be hoping to make it USA one, two, three. Tiffani Porter will have to
:11:56. > :12:02.be quicker and start better than she did in the first race. Great view of
:12:03. > :12:09.the athletes already out and getting ready for the semifinal of the men's
:12:10. > :12:23.60 metres. What a mouthwatering Ross Barkley have. Great Britain goes in
:12:24. > :12:31.the first of the semifinals, watch out for the former youth champion
:12:32. > :12:37.from Japan. Competitive field with no room for error. First two in each
:12:38. > :12:39.of the semifinals and the two fastest losers to go through to the
:12:40. > :12:59.final. James Dasaolu, was that a false
:13:00. > :13:04.start? It looked pretty clear to me. James Dasaolu, his World
:13:05. > :13:10.Championship hopes disappear in a split second. False start and James
:13:11. > :13:23.Dasaolu knows what an opportunity goes down the drain for him.
:13:24. > :13:40.Rahman Gittins going well. What are run by Ramon Gittens. That is a
:13:41. > :13:41.surprise. With the talent to come in the next semifinals, it is difficult
:13:42. > :14:00.to separate the top two. I am disappointed. I just wish I had
:14:01. > :14:07.another chance to go out there and, if I could rerun the race again, I
:14:08. > :14:11.could. But I can't, so it is the end of my Championships. Second
:14:12. > :14:26.semifinal, the name of Kim Collins always jumps out.
:14:27. > :14:39.Going to be very, very close on the line. Collins gets it. 6.40 nine.
:14:40. > :14:49.Close to his personal best. Collins has a lovely action, he never
:14:50. > :14:54.changes, even at age 30 nine. Rogers having a glance across. Confirming
:14:55. > :15:05.the results of that second semifinal. Quick running from Kim
:15:06. > :15:11.Collins and Mike Rogers. Start list for the third semifinal. Andy
:15:12. > :15:23.Robinson goes for Great Britain. Asafa Powell of Jamaica.
:15:24. > :15:32.Powell gets a good start. Bracy has work to do here. Su got second.
:15:33. > :15:40.Powell 6. 43 this time. He is getting quicker. He makes it look so
:15:41. > :15:43.easy. Su ran another cracking race. Bracy, despite a reasonable start
:15:44. > :15:47.never got going. It may be that he couldn't react to the speed of
:15:48. > :15:52.Powell. Powell good out of the blocks. Brayc
:15:53. > :15:57.goes backwards there and tries to come back. He is not catching Su who
:15:58. > :16:01.ran another superb race, that's got to and personal best for the Chinese
:16:02. > :16:06.athlete. Powell with that world leading 6. 44. Su, a new Asian
:16:07. > :16:22.indoor record. 6. 50 from the Chinese athlete.
:16:23. > :16:27.Robertson in fifth place there. The women's pentathlon started with
:16:28. > :16:42.the 60 metre hurdles with Morgan Lake. Away they go. A good start by
:16:43. > :16:51.Nwaba. It's Fodorova. That's a super start from Ukraine. Canada's Brianne
:16:52. > :16:58.Eaton was next in lane two. Williams left a little bit there. Eaton has
:16:59. > :17:03.gone away with Mokhnyuk. Then Williams. What a super start for the
:17:04. > :17:14.favourite Eaton. In the high jump Eaton's early lead
:17:15. > :17:21.started to get closed down. Fodorova was in medal contention. The
:17:22. > :17:28.Canadian consolidated her lead at the same height. A season's best for
:17:29. > :17:32.Mokhnyuk. Morgan Lake jumped highest with 1 metre 88. She was
:17:33. > :17:41.disappointed not to clear any attempts at 1 metre 91. That meant
:17:42. > :17:53.after two events Eaton was out in front followed by Mokhnyuk and
:17:54. > :17:59.Fodorova of Ukraine. In the shot put the Canadian through
:18:00. > :18:07.a season's best of 13 metres 70. Morgan Lake's best throw came in the
:18:08. > :18:13.second round with 13 metres 61. In the long jump Mokhnyuk jumped a
:18:14. > :18:20.personal best and earned her the victory and extended her lead.
:18:21. > :18:26.Fodorova stayed on the heels of her ecranian counterpart. Morgan Lake
:18:27. > :18:32.produced the best of 603, a fair way off the pace.
:18:33. > :18:39.Going into the last event those were the three in contention.
:18:40. > :18:48.Pushing and shoving at the beginning trying to find a position. Then
:18:49. > :18:55.settle down. Morgan Lake just getting her elbows out there. Moving
:18:56. > :19:00.around the outside. Nwaba goes to the front. I think it's always about
:19:01. > :19:06.judgment and trying to be ambitious but not be silly in the 800, because
:19:07. > :19:11.you can get it wrong if you just go out a little bit too hard. She has
:19:12. > :19:16.to attack this as much as she can. 30 seconds for the leader. Eaton
:19:17. > :19:19.getting a nice ride through the first 200 metres and a gap
:19:20. > :19:28.developing already in the pack. Yeah, if you look at Briaannee is
:19:29. > :19:31.going for it, set up the quickest race, with a 210 personal best even
:19:32. > :19:34.though it's outdoors. She will be looking to go through. Let's look at
:19:35. > :19:38.the split time as she comes around. It's probably going to be much
:19:39. > :19:51.quicker than she should have really paced it at. She will probably pay
:19:52. > :19:55.the price later. Nwaba leading. Yeah, she's going for it. It's a
:19:56. > :20:00.question of whether or not she can hang on here and at least put a
:20:01. > :20:10.decent distance. The two Ukrainians in terms of the gold medal. Fodorova
:20:11. > :20:14.and the three seconds with Eaton, she could move into the silver medal
:20:15. > :20:18.position which is one she has held before. Not what she would swranted
:20:19. > :20:24.coming here but is going for it here. 200 metres to go. The question
:20:25. > :20:28.is can she speed up when you hear that bell? You get that little bit
:20:29. > :20:31.of excitement. It's usually the third lap you see them just changing
:20:32. > :20:35.their rhythm a little bit and slowing down. Here you see her
:20:36. > :20:39.picking up the pace. Eaton really giving this a go. She could be
:20:40. > :20:47.running for the silver medal here. Will have to wait to see what's
:20:48. > :20:51.happening hyped her. Fodorova is behind. Eaton just hangs on for the
:20:52. > :21:00.win. A really good performance from her. Nwaba says well done. A skrael
:21:01. > :21:05.on after that. Eight, nine, ten seconds. Morningen Lake crossing
:21:06. > :21:10.outside of the time required. She needed 217. I reckon it was around
:21:11. > :21:18.about 220. A solid day for Morgan Lake.
:21:19. > :21:23.Theisen Eaton wins the gold medal. What a performance from her in the
:21:24. > :21:26.800 metres. Has snatched the gold from the Ukrainians. Her husband,
:21:27. > :21:33.the first to come and congratulate her. He has had his gold medals.
:21:34. > :21:37.This is her first. Her first global title. Goodness me does she deserve
:21:38. > :21:42.it for that performance in the final event. I came here with a goal in
:21:43. > :21:46.mind of doing absolutely the best I could do at every event. I honestly
:21:47. > :21:51.couldn't have done more. So, to do it the way I was supposed to do it
:21:52. > :21:56.and get a gold, the gold is the cherry on top. I think I would have
:21:57. > :22:00.left with a bitter taste in my mouth with silver. A little disappointed
:22:01. > :22:07.obviously, hoped to get higher than 7th. I can't be too unhappy with 7th
:22:08. > :22:13.in the world at the end of the day. Yeah, it's a bittersweet feeling.
:22:14. > :22:23.Confirmation, Theisen Eaton wins the gold.
:22:24. > :22:35.In the women's long jump Shara Proctor is concentrating on moving
:22:36. > :22:39.on to bigger things. I have to erase last year out of my memory. It's
:22:40. > :22:43.important to do that and to move forward this year. I need to go into
:22:44. > :22:53.this year with a new mindset and new goals and new standards.
:22:54. > :22:59.It's a new British record! A stirring jump from Proctor. When I
:23:00. > :23:02.look back at the jump it was one of the ugliest jumps. If I fix a couple
:23:03. > :23:09.of things I can definitely go further.
:23:10. > :23:33.The women's long jump. That's got to be close.
:23:34. > :23:42.It is a good jump. This is a big effort in the
:23:43. > :23:54.A world lead in the first round. What an enormous lead that is.
:23:55. > :24:02.America's Brittany Reese has won this title also. Looking to respond
:24:03. > :24:06.from that huge effort. The American goes in chase.
:24:07. > :24:18.A big scream there. It's good. She likes it. Not sure what that means.
:24:19. > :24:21.But this might threaten that seven metre leap. It's a good start for
:24:22. > :24:28.the American. Maybe saying she twisted in the air. Let's look at it
:24:29. > :24:39.from the front. A good leg shoot. The white flag is raised. It's a
:24:40. > :24:45.very good start for Reese. Proctor jumped in the first round.
:24:46. > :24:56.The second round saw fellow Brits jump 6. 31. Seven men to line up in
:24:57. > :25:20.the first of the two races. Burgen is not one of the top
:25:21. > :25:24.Kenyans. He is a bit of a journeyman. Not bad indoors, he is
:25:25. > :25:48.somebody you wouldn't fear too much. For Centrowitz he has proven come
:25:49. > :25:53.championships he can time it to perfection. And run really well. I
:25:54. > :25:56.think he would say this year, especially, he is a lot further on
:25:57. > :26:02.in the indoor season than in previous years and seems to be
:26:03. > :26:06.racing very well. He ran that 350. He is in good shape and will run it
:26:07. > :26:10.tactically well. Charlie has got himself in a great position. He is
:26:11. > :26:17.able to monitor and stay out of the bumping going on ahead of him but be
:26:18. > :26:21.able to react when he needs to. The danger always is that in a small
:26:22. > :26:24.field of seven the people have been invited to these World
:26:25. > :26:28.Championships, it makes it of a very high quality. Everybody can finish
:26:29. > :26:32.fast. In a slow run race these guys wouldn't be here if they couldn't
:26:33. > :26:36.finish fast. They've won national championships or run a qualifying
:26:37. > :26:40.both or time. Holusa didn't look great in Glasgow,
:26:41. > :26:45.I didn't think. He has run a new national record of 1,000 metres
:26:46. > :26:54.before that. He has enough pace in his legs. Olmedo is always
:26:55. > :27:03.dangerous. Birgen. It's good to see Charlie taking the initiative. The
:27:04. > :27:07.Spaniard has gone, Olmedo. He still needs to concentrate on the task at
:27:08. > :27:11.hand. The good thing for Charlie Grice is getting that chance to go
:27:12. > :27:14.with Mo and train with him and get that extra endurance and strength
:27:15. > :27:17.will have done his confidence a lot of good but will also mean that his
:27:18. > :27:21.endurance is strong and he can be able to have a different way of
:27:22. > :27:28.running the race and different options and making taking it on
:27:29. > :27:31.earlier in the race. That was the fastest lap. Just
:27:32. > :27:36.beginning to pick up a little bit. It's slow through the first 800.
:27:37. > :27:41.That won't bother Centrowitz. This is where Charlie has to stay on his
:27:42. > :27:46.toes and get pushed in. He gets his elbows out himself. He has got out
:27:47. > :27:52.of the box there. A bit of rough and tumble indoors Starting to stretch
:27:53. > :27:56.it out. Centrowitz finds himself at the back again after that. Charlie
:27:57. > :28:00.did well to get out of trouble there. He didn't do Centrowitz any
:28:01. > :28:04.favours. We will see if he is able to get back into the position he
:28:05. > :28:11.worked hard to move up to. Two laps to go.
:28:12. > :28:18.Centrowitz lurking on the outside there. Charlie has to just stay on
:28:19. > :28:24.top of this here. Holusa can finish quickly. The Ethiopian trying to
:28:25. > :28:28.hold off Centrowitz. Charlie has work to do on this last lap. They're
:28:29. > :28:32.all still there. Every single one of them has a chance. Just the top
:28:33. > :28:39.three don't forget to go through. As they go to the bell Charlie
:28:40. > :28:48.Grice, I don't know whether he has much left to give now. Holusa moving
:28:49. > :28:54.into third spot. Moving away from Charlie Grice. At the front
:28:55. > :29:00.Centrowitz, Wolde and Holusa. It's going to be a good finish.
:29:01. > :29:06.Centrowitz will hold on for the win. Wolde and Holusa can look back. That
:29:07. > :29:11.will be a disappointed Charlie Grice. He can finish well. I didn't
:29:12. > :29:15.think he looked great in the trials. He is meant to have been training
:29:16. > :29:20.hard, things are going well for him but that isn't a reflection of his
:29:21. > :29:27.ability certainly. Centrowitz winning ahead of Wolde and Holusa.
:29:28. > :29:31.They qualified comfortably. Charlie can only hope that for some
:29:32. > :29:39.reason in the second semifinal they crawl around.
:29:40. > :29:48.The second semifinal. Nick Willis of New Zealand one of the big games.
:29:49. > :29:55.Souleiman one of favourites for the gold taking on Chris O Hare of Great
:29:56. > :30:00.Britain. A tough race here. Only the top three go through. Chris O Hare
:30:01. > :30:04.knows that the top three definitely go through, but all of these men
:30:05. > :30:10.know that the first heat was not particularly fast and if they win a
:30:11. > :30:11.fairly pace and pick it up on the last 400 then six men could go
:30:12. > :30:25.through from that race. How many times have we seen all
:30:26. > :30:30.coming out are not taking advantage of the advantage you had in the
:30:31. > :30:36.second heat. We will have an idea when they get to the first couple of
:30:37. > :30:41.laps. There is quality in this field and you do need to take advantage.
:30:42. > :30:46.You cannot rely on a fast finish because they can all finish fast. As
:30:47. > :30:56.we saw last week, Robbie Andrews is a huge danger if you let it go to
:30:57. > :31:06.slow. Willis said he is training in Flagstaff. He said he ran a personal
:31:07. > :31:15.best, rolling start metres. You go quicker at altitude. You hit a golf
:31:16. > :31:23.ball further as well! Wote, setting them off at a pretty good pace.
:31:24. > :31:29.Andrews of the USA, in third spot. Chris O her of Great Britain happy
:31:30. > :31:36.to stay at the back. Six of those top seven no app this pace, they
:31:37. > :31:40.have only got to get ahead of one of those people in the group, then you
:31:41. > :31:49.will go through to the final. The question is, of the group of seven,
:31:50. > :31:58.who will lose out? The idea is to keep moving forward one space and
:31:59. > :32:05.one spot at the time. If you are Chris O Hare, he can keep their
:32:06. > :32:10.night on who is struggling. They will take turns at the front. When
:32:11. > :32:14.Wote gets fed up of leading and moves aside, hopefully they will not
:32:15. > :32:24.lose the work they have done. Chris is moving up. The Spaniard has won
:32:25. > :32:36.the under 23 indoor Championships, so he must possess some speed.
:32:37. > :32:39.29.99, just slowing a little bit. They have given themselves a
:32:40. > :32:52.platform, they need to finish this off. Willis at the back of the
:32:53. > :32:59.group. Souliman takes a wider track to go around Wote. Was it an
:33:00. > :33:05.invitation was it encouragement by Chris, to get somebody to go to the
:33:06. > :33:11.front that didn't have to be him, to keep the pace moving along. Andrews
:33:12. > :33:15.gets a little nudge and decides to go back inside. Wote, now wants to
:33:16. > :33:29.be on the outside as we take the bell. Only six will go through.
:33:30. > :33:45.O'Hare in a great position. They are all having a look behind. All six
:33:46. > :33:54.will go through. Sadly it means Charlie Grice will not make it
:33:55. > :33:55.through to the final. But Chris O'Hare running a very well judged
:33:56. > :34:15.race. Wote, Kibet and Willis will go
:34:16. > :34:17.through as the fastest losers. Back in the long jump. Shara Proctor had
:34:18. > :34:45.no jump in the fourth. Brittany Reese. She likes it. Her
:34:46. > :34:55.best so far, 6.97. She jumped 6.88 in the previous round. This might
:34:56. > :35:01.threaten the leader. Just as we wait to see this measurement, it looked
:35:02. > :35:05.as though Brittany Reese has given the Serbian something to think about
:35:06. > :35:10.in the penultimate round. Look at that, exactly the same. Seven metres
:35:11. > :35:24.exactly, goes into the lead with count back. 6.97 as a back-up. Ugen
:35:25. > :35:31.in the fifth round. That is very much better the Ugen. Struggled to
:35:32. > :35:37.find her form in the early rounds. But has improved by a fraction of
:35:38. > :35:50.centimetres. 6.93. She has gone into third place. It is all kicking off
:35:51. > :36:02.in the fifth round of the long jump. Maybe as a result of Eton's
:36:03. > :36:13.performance in the 800 metres. Has she gone back into the lead? That is
:36:14. > :36:21.a New World leading mark the Spanovic. Absolutely superb
:36:22. > :36:22.performance the Spanovic. On to the semifinals of the women's 400
:36:23. > :36:53.metres. The line-up is like this: At the American Championships,
:36:54. > :37:04.Spencer came through. This time she has started quickly. Has a tendency
:37:05. > :37:08.not to go hard on the first 200. The poll has not use the advantage of
:37:09. > :37:15.the outside lane. Spencer coming across. Swift, but not too fast
:37:16. > :37:26.through the first 200. Spencer controlling things. De Witee is
:37:27. > :37:33.trying to get into this. Top three only go through. Spencer starting to
:37:34. > :37:43.move away. She is always stronger in the last 30, 40 metres. Showing her
:37:44. > :38:13.talent, the American. 52.41 the American. Second semifinal.
:38:14. > :38:24.MacPherson is going to have to make up some ground to get on terms with
:38:25. > :38:33.these two. MacPherson has got herself involved. They cut across at
:38:34. > :38:40.the break point. Top three will go through. If MacPherson is third, she
:38:41. > :38:53.will not get a good lane in the final. Hayes, still looks
:38:54. > :39:03.comfortable. The American looming. MacPherson trying to challenge
:39:04. > :39:06.again. Hayes wants to win this. It was the quicker race, very quick
:39:07. > :39:08.through the first 200 metres. All three were struggling in the last
:39:09. > :39:26.50. Adekoya long on. MacPherson will be
:39:27. > :39:35.in the final, but won't get a good lane draw. A full summary of the
:39:36. > :39:40.athletes who have made it through to the final. Adekoya heading up the
:39:41. > :39:50.qualifiers. Ashley Spencer, may be a bit more to come from her. That
:39:51. > :40:06.could be telling. The road to Rio's Olympics is a long
:40:07. > :40:13.one, so watch Mo Farah on Saturday from 1:30pm on BBC One.
:40:14. > :40:23.Ugen, in third place. This is the last round of the long jump. Quick
:40:24. > :40:27.on the approach. She has matched the British record in the penultimate
:40:28. > :40:33.round. This, the last round. It is another long way into the sand pits.
:40:34. > :40:40.Finally found her form. She struggled slightly in the early
:40:41. > :40:46.rounds. It is a valid jump. Lorraine Ugen, finally got her rhythm going.
:40:47. > :40:57.6.86, it is another good effort. May come away with a bronze medal. It is
:40:58. > :41:07.De Loach, who could deprive her of that. Britain may be has its first
:41:08. > :41:11.medal from these world indoor Championships. De Loach, of the
:41:12. > :41:20.United States, can stop that happening with this very jump. 6.93,
:41:21. > :41:29.or better. De Loach, quick on the approach. It is a huge effort. That
:41:30. > :41:36.is an enormous jump for De Loach. It may even take the lead. 6.89 it is
:41:37. > :41:43.for De Loach. A season's best, but not enough to stop Lorraine Ugen
:41:44. > :41:51.taking the bronze medal. Great performance for Lorraine Ugen. 6.93
:41:52. > :41:55.it was. Brittany Reese in a silver medal spot. Olympic champion from
:41:56. > :41:59.2012, went into the lead in the fifth round momentarily. For a
:42:00. > :42:10.matter of seconds before it was pulled back in favour of the
:42:11. > :42:17.Serbian, Spanovic. What is it to be? Whitney Rees, you need to jump in
:42:18. > :42:23.excess of 7.7 centimetres. If you want to upgrade your silver medal to
:42:24. > :42:32.a gold medal. She is attacking this hard. It is enormous. Brittany Reese
:42:33. > :42:40.looks as though she has saved her best for the last round. She knows
:42:41. > :42:49.it. She doesn't need to look back. Surely that goes into the lead.
:42:50. > :43:01.Spanovic, has another jump. Their effect on the board. The crowd know.
:43:02. > :43:17.7.22! I New World leading mark. But it's not a gold medal yet. My word,
:43:18. > :43:22.what an enormous effort. Spanovic has led for the majority of this
:43:23. > :43:32.competition. Responded well when she sought Brittany Reese take the lead.
:43:33. > :43:40.Has just seen a world leading mark of 7.22, one centimetre short of her
:43:41. > :43:48.own championship record. She said that when she won this title four
:43:49. > :43:53.years ago. Spanovic, 7.20 two. Twisted in the air. It is not going
:43:54. > :43:58.to be enough. That is agonising the Spanovic. William performance from
:43:59. > :44:07.Brittany Reese. Gold medal for the USA. Brilliance performance.
:44:08. > :44:14.Absolutely superb effort in the last round. The showcase worked well in
:44:15. > :44:26.favour of the home advantage for the American. Huge effort. And Britain's
:44:27. > :44:34.first medal. Superb from the rain Ugen. 6.93, to get the bronze medal.
:44:35. > :44:41.How Brittany Reese responded, 7.20 two. It feels fantastic. I am happy
:44:42. > :44:48.to be able to jump well at a championship and get on the podium.
:44:49. > :44:53.Big jump, 6.93? Personal best, and the national record. The gold medal
:44:54. > :45:03.to Brittany Reese. Spanovic has to settle for the silver and a bronze
:45:04. > :45:09.the Ugen. New Zealand's Tom Walsh dominated the men's shot at with
:45:10. > :45:26.five throws over 21 metres. His best sixth round throw.
:45:27. > :45:36.The men's 400 metres semifinal. Two races. Again first three and no
:45:37. > :45:41.fastest losers making it through to the final.
:45:42. > :45:43.This one looks pretty tough with Clemons of the United States and
:45:44. > :46:17.Brenes. Taplin away quickly. Taplin normally
:46:18. > :46:24.likes to control this. He run it hard through the first 200. The
:46:25. > :46:30.American Clemons is trying to make up. His team-mate was disqualified.
:46:31. > :46:36.He has work to do. Top three. Taplin out there.
:46:37. > :46:41.Clemons is doing his best to get around. Out in front Taplin all the
:46:42. > :46:48.way looking very dominant and strong. Moves away, a real scrap for
:46:49. > :46:56.third. Lendore hangs on and Mweresa taking third.
:46:57. > :46:59.A tough semifinal with Brenes and Clemons not going through.
:47:00. > :47:07.Impressive running from Taplin. That's quick. You can see how much
:47:08. > :47:11.distance there was between him and Lendore and Mweresa.
:47:12. > :47:27.The line up for the second semifinal.
:47:28. > :47:37.Top three to go through. Winning this semifinal is so important. A
:47:38. > :47:43.very good start. Just makes up a yard on Haroun. Maslak started
:47:44. > :47:47.quickly. These three already pulling away. Gordon gave a wide run into
:47:48. > :47:53.that bend there. This tall figure getting around. They're not steep
:47:54. > :47:57.curves here but Haroun cannot hold off Maslak who cuts across. Loses a
:47:58. > :48:03.metre or so. Loses momentum. That could be critical for Haroun. Trying
:48:04. > :48:11.to get back on terms with Maslak who is controlling this. Gordon can't
:48:12. > :48:18.keep with these two. Can Maslak hold off Haroun. He moves out, makes them
:48:19. > :48:25.run further. Haroun just about... Well I am going to say gets there,
:48:26. > :48:28.did he? The chest of Maslak protruding as they cross the line.
:48:29. > :48:33.It's going to be close. He thinks he did it. He may be right. Haroun
:48:34. > :48:40.strong. You have to say just lost a little bit of momentum. He wanted to
:48:41. > :48:45.get in the front. You can see why. These two certainly gave Gordon no
:48:46. > :48:54.chance of getting involved at the front. The result of an extremely
:48:55. > :48:59.competitive second semifinal. Gordon having to settle for a distant
:49:00. > :49:03.third. Tiffany Porter missed out on a medal in Beijing but is looking to
:49:04. > :49:07.add to her collection here in the 60 metre hurdles. She caught up with
:49:08. > :49:12.David McDaid. Sglp 2012, you got the silver. 2014
:49:13. > :49:18.you had a bronze. How much do you want to complete the
:49:19. > :49:22.set? I want desperately to come away victorious. I love champs in
:49:23. > :49:26.general. It's another opportunity to put on the GB vest. Every
:49:27. > :49:28.opportunity is an opportunity to race against the best there. The
:49:29. > :49:32.ladies are running fast and it's going to be a great competition.
:49:33. > :49:39.Nobody really trains to be second place. Hopefully I can put together
:49:40. > :49:45.a race that will make me victorious. The USA so well represented here.
:49:46. > :50:00.Rollins, Harrison, Porter, Solomon for Great Britain.
:50:01. > :50:11.Will be a big surprise if Ivancevic was to pip the Americans here.
:50:12. > :50:16.Rollins I think is the favourite but it's so close to call here.
:50:17. > :50:22.It's about executing. It always is in the hurdles. You have to start
:50:23. > :50:28.well, obviously. And then stay calm. Hurdles clattering around you.
:50:29. > :50:35.Harrison has the ability to run 400 hurdles as well. She was so close to
:50:36. > :50:43.Rollins in the US championships here last week. It was less than 100th of
:50:44. > :50:48.a second. Ali looked good in qualification. Maybe she's rounded
:50:49. > :50:55.nice le at the right time for the final. I said that Porter will need
:50:56. > :50:57.to improve a little bit. Only ran eight flat in qualifying and in
:50:58. > :51:03.qualification race it was a poor start, as well.
:51:04. > :51:06.She will have to be much better. No country has ever had a clean sweep
:51:07. > :51:11.here. The USA have had two in the top three. Canada have had two in
:51:12. > :51:17.the top three. Jamaica have had two in the top three but no country has
:51:18. > :51:23.ever had a clean sweep in the women's 60 metres hurdles.
:51:24. > :51:27.Set. Look at that in the middle Harrison
:51:28. > :51:31.gets the best start and hits the first hurdle. Rollins is leading.
:51:32. > :51:36.Porter trying to get there. Ali gets there!
:51:37. > :51:42.Nia Ali right at the end came through to defend her title. Porter
:51:43. > :51:48.ran a much better race. Rollins couldn't hang on.
:51:49. > :51:53.Well, no American one, two, three again. Tiffany Porter, a much better
:51:54. > :51:59.performance from her. What about Ali? It looked as though... Harrison
:52:00. > :52:06.got the best start and then slammed into the first hurdle. Because of
:52:07. > :52:10.that her race was gone. Ali now realising what she has done. Only
:52:11. > :52:16.Jones has ever defended this title successfully. Of the three Americans
:52:17. > :52:19.she was not the one expected to win the gold medal. The other two were
:52:20. > :52:23.the favourites. She's the one who has come through.
:52:24. > :52:28.Tony? It's an interesting start here. Rollins stumbles. Harrison
:52:29. > :52:33.gets out. I think she pushed too hard, got too close to the hurdle
:52:34. > :52:37.and ended up on top of it. She has eight strides to the first hurdle
:52:38. > :52:43.and is pushed, and determined and got right on top of it. There is a
:52:44. > :52:48.lead. As it comes up, hits the hurdle. From that point on it looked
:52:49. > :52:52.like Rollins... Look at Ali. Porter got a better start and held on well.
:52:53. > :52:56.She wasn't sure about her position but to be fair she was a clean
:52:57. > :53:01.bronze medallist there. The gold and bronze the same as last time.
:53:02. > :53:10.Rollins coming through for the silver this time. As you were! Well,
:53:11. > :53:14.the Americans getting the two, not the full three, though. Well done
:53:15. > :53:18.Tiffany Porter. She saved her best performance of the season for the
:53:19. > :53:24.final. The gold medal goes to Nia Ali, she defends her title with a
:53:25. > :53:28.season's best. Rollins takes silver. Another world indoor championship
:53:29. > :53:34.medal for Tiffany Porter. Same as two years ago. Bronze medal.
:53:35. > :53:37.A really good performance from her. Serita Solomon in 7th. Tiffany,
:53:38. > :53:43.another world medal. A bronze this time. How do you feel? I am just
:53:44. > :53:47.very pleased I was able to bounce back from a horrendous preliminary.
:53:48. > :53:50.I am encouraged, happy to come away with the medal. Everyone is running
:53:51. > :53:54.fast and I am pleased. I have to focus on my own lane. You cannot get
:53:55. > :53:59.caught up in what everybody else is doing. As a competitor it's
:54:00. > :54:02.important, it's important to focus on yourself and I am happy I was
:54:03. > :54:08.able to do that and bring home another medal. Tiffany Porter, a
:54:09. > :54:15.deserved bronze. It hasn't been the best of seasons for her. She
:54:16. > :54:19.certainly saved her best until last. Coming through to take another World
:54:20. > :54:24.Championship medal. Not the gold yet, but that's her third world
:54:25. > :54:32.indoor medal in a row. Now we move to the men's. 60 metres
:54:33. > :54:44.flat. First ever world indoor title. There they are.
:54:45. > :54:50.Bromell surely will be looking to the Olympics this summer as a chance
:54:51. > :55:00.to show what he can do. Collins will be there again. Qualification for
:55:01. > :55:09.him won't be as difficult as it is for the Americans.
:55:10. > :55:15.You know that Collins won't tie up. Collins always seems to produce his
:55:16. > :55:23.best when he needs it. Powell always has those question
:55:24. > :55:30.marks hanging over him. What about Su? Just missed out on a medal two
:55:31. > :55:38.years ago. Gittens can start very quickly. He did that in the semis
:55:39. > :55:41.and then kept going. Mike Rodgers, 30 years of age now.
:55:42. > :55:47.Finding himself on the periphery of this final.
:55:48. > :55:55.The final event of day two of these world indoor championships.
:55:56. > :56:04.Powell gets another cracking start. So does Bromell. Powell is trying to
:56:05. > :56:08.get there. Bromell wins it! Once again Powell cannot win a world
:56:09. > :56:15.title. He has been beaten by a younger man and a better man on the
:56:16. > :56:23.day. This is a huge sprint talent. A medal outdoors last year and it's a
:56:24. > :56:27.gold medal this time. Trayvon Bromell comes out on top and once
:56:28. > :56:30.more Powell can only look and wonder. You couldn't say that Powell
:56:31. > :56:35.didn't start well. He was in the race at this point. Then he doesn't
:56:36. > :56:42.move through. Where is the flowing Powell? Where is is the Powell that
:56:43. > :56:47.we saw in the heats and semifinal? He doesn't run with the same
:56:48. > :56:52.fluidity. Bromell got ahead of him and you said get ahead of him and
:56:53. > :56:57.put him under pressure, Tony. You do not see the same Powell coming
:56:58. > :57:01.through. That's what Bromell did. It's interesting, you look at
:57:02. > :57:06.Asafa's face. He is more tense running. That tension throughout the
:57:07. > :57:12.whole body probably affected the stride length. May have had the
:57:13. > :57:16.frequency of step but doesn't get the knees into the same position.
:57:17. > :57:22.Bromell confirmed as the gold medallist with a new personal best.
:57:23. > :57:27.Brilliant run from him. Powell needs to wait and perhaps come back again.
:57:28. > :57:32.Will he ever win a global title? This -- this was his big chance. It
:57:33. > :57:50.was silver for the Jamaican. A really cracking race. Just look at
:57:51. > :57:55.that at the bottom two, you might have thought they would be among the
:57:56. > :57:57.medals in these championships, having to settle for 7th and 8th in
:57:58. > :58:06.a cracking men's 60 metre final. Our coverage of the championships
:58:07. > :58:11.continues tonight on the red button at 6.00pm. Then on BBC Two at
:58:12. > :58:14.midnight. For those of you who can't stay up that late you can catch
:58:15. > :58:18.highlights tomorrow at 3.00pm on BBC Two.
:58:19. > :58:33.It's been a cracking day two. A wonderful story. Gold medal for
:58:34. > :58:35.Eaton in the women's pentathlon. Hopefully more success for Great
:58:36. > :58:41.Britain. Goodbye and we will see you soon.
