Highlights - Days 1 & 2 Athletics: World Indoor Championships

Hello and welcome to highlights of the World Indoor Championships from

Portland, Oregon. We have an action packed hour ahead with plenty of

medal chances for the British team. Tiffani Porter has the world indoor

bronze medal and silver medals in the 60-metre medals. Angie Abba Gold

medal rush to mark the men's 60 metres is on and James desolating

leads the charge. Morgan Lake is in the pentathlon but she will face a

tough battle to make the podium. After a breakthrough silver medal

last year, Shara Proctor is one of the favourites in the long jump. An

enthusiastic crowd packed out the Convention Centre on Thursday night

with all eyes on the Olympic champion. But expectant fans would

have to wait because he sat out several early rounds. He has done

it. But the big surprise was the form of Shaughnessy Barber. He has

only got one chance at this. It wasn't to be this evening. His

failure means the poll gets the bronze medal. The first tiny little

blip from Barber. It was left to the American, Sam Kendricks to put the

pressure on. blip from Barber. It was left to the

American, Sam Kendricks to put the pressure on. Having passed up 575,

he finds himself out of the medals. Yes! He has got the confidence and

he's got the belief. Got a battle on your hands.

Huge sense of expectation. The world record holder... Yes! Oh my goodness

me. And now Sam Kendricks is under pressure. The pressure told and he

was unable to clear five metres 90, but claimed the silver.

Yes, not only does he retain his world indoor title, it is a

championship record. He is in a class all have his own. The

Frenchman raised the bar again to a potential world record raking six

metres 17. Has he hurt himself? He is OK. He is OK. It is good to drive

to jump pretty high. To take the win at the six-metre jump, I was secure.

The championship record the me, it means a lot. But the first time ever

in women's pole vault competition, all four competitors clear four

metres 80. Yes, yes, yes! Katarina Stefan Aigner jihad managed a

faultless performance. That successful clearance saw the Greek

go on to win the bronze. The US hair battled it out for the title. Can

she go over four metres and 85? Yes! The successful clearance from

Morris. Put her team-mate go one better for the championship record?

Well, well, well! She punches the air. Gold for the American, but

there wasn't to be another world record attempt. To win the gold

medal on home soil means a lot. It is a good build-up for the out door,

but it starts clean on Olympic trials day. Seven events over two

days will decide who will be the heptathlon champion for the men. In

the first of two 60-metre heats, it was Kurt Felix who crossed the line

first. But the second heat, it was all about Ashton Eaton looking to

add to his medal tally home soil. He didn't disappoint in the opening

events, putting him top of the leaderboard followed closely by

Alexey Cassie on. The Ukrainian cleared an impressive 7.49 in the

long jump. But the American managed a massive eight metres and eight

centimetres. Much to his delight and that of the home crowd. Alan Curtis

speech took the opportunity to get into the running for a medal. --

Curtis beach. A continued solid display in the shot put. But to the

surprise of those in the crowd in Portland, the man at the top through

an overthrow on his first attempt. But later did register 40 metres and

16 centimetres, enough to keep him in the gold medal position for now.

But it was Felix who topped the bill in this discipline. That put him

back into third place. Beach reminded people he was still in the

running. This allowed Felix to finish the day in second place after

an impressive two metres and 11 centimetre clearance. Meaning, at

the end of the first day of competition, Eaton holds on to first

place and Cassie are not in third with it all to play for. Heat one of

the 60-metre hurdles in the women. So Rita Solomon has to get in the

top two, if she is to make it through. Solomon is away.

Top two only guaranteed a place. It was a decent run from Solomon.

Rollins has been in such good form. Welcome and good evening to Tony

alongside me. Rollins, as expected, but Solomon was quick. Do you think

she has a chance? If she can get K eight seconds or close to eight

seconds dead, it might be good enough to make the final.

Confirmation of the result of the first heat.

Solomon has got to cross her fingers and hope it is quick enough. The

second heat. Tiffani Porter should be able to go

through. Daniel Williams, despite being the world champion outdoors,

is not so good at 60 metres hurdles in doors. It should be between

Porter and Ali, closest to the camera. Porter was left in the

blocks, a bad start from her. Williams has gone out. It leaves it

clear that Ali and Porter, getting what was a bit of a ropey start for

Porter. I said Williams might struggle. Not as quick in doors,

prefers the full distance outdoors. Ali, very good. Porter not so good.

Terrible start. She put her arm up into the air and went vertical

straightaway. Took a short step off. Didn't really drive out. Williams,

making a mess of it helped Porter get through in an automatic

qualifying position. On to the final heat. Things are looking good for

Solomon, she is still the fastest of the fastest losers. With only two

fastest loser spot available, only one more race to go. Rings not

looking too bad for her. Another cracking start from

Harrison. Just putting a bit of daylight between herself and the

others. Matching her team-mate Rollins. They are looking head and

shoulders above the others. We will have to see who goes through

as the two fastest losers. But certainly Solomon will be one of

them. It was tight in terms of times between Harrison and Rollins. You

imagine they would either two contesting the gold medal. Ali will

be hoping to make it USA one, two, three. Tiffani Porter will have to

be quicker and start better than she did in the first race. Great view of

the athletes already out and getting ready for the semifinal of the men's

60 metres. What a mouthwatering Ross Barkley have. Great Britain goes in

the first of the semifinals, watch out for the former youth champion

from Japan. Competitive field with no room for error. First two in each

of the semifinals and the two fastest losers to go through to the

final. James Dasaolu, was that a false

start? It looked pretty clear to me. James Dasaolu, his World

Championship hopes disappear in a split second. False start and James

Dasaolu knows what an opportunity goes down the drain for him.

Rahman Gittins going well. What are run by Ramon Gittens. That is a

surprise. With the talent to come in the next semifinals, it is difficult

to separate the top two. I am disappointed. I just wish I had

another chance to go out there and, if I could rerun the race again, I

could. But I can't, so it is the end of my Championships. Second

semifinal, the name of Kim Collins always jumps out.

Going to be very, very close on the line. Collins gets it. 6.40 nine.

Close to his personal best. Collins has a lovely action, he never

changes, even at age 30 nine. Rogers having a glance across. Confirming

the results of that second semifinal. Quick running from Kim

Collins and Mike Rogers. Start list for the third semifinal. Andy

Robinson goes for Great Britain. Asafa Powell of Jamaica.

Powell gets a good start. Bracy has work to do here. Su got second.

Powell 6. 43 this time. He is getting quicker. He makes it look so

easy. Su ran another cracking race. Bracy, despite a reasonable start

never got going. It may be that he couldn't react to the speed of

Powell. Powell good out of the blocks. Brayc

goes backwards there and tries to come back. He is not catching Su who

ran another superb race, that's got to and personal best for the Chinese

athlete. Powell with that world leading 6. 44. Su, a new Asian

indoor record. 6. 50 from the Chinese athlete.

Robertson in fifth place there. The women's pentathlon started with

the 60 metre hurdles with Morgan Lake. Away they go. A good start by

Nwaba. It's Fodorova. That's a super start from Ukraine. Canada's Brianne

Eaton was next in lane two. Williams left a little bit there. Eaton has

gone away with Mokhnyuk. Then Williams. What a super start for the

favourite Eaton. In the high jump Eaton's early lead

started to get closed down. Fodorova was in medal contention. The

Canadian consolidated her lead at the same height. A season's best for

Mokhnyuk. Morgan Lake jumped highest with 1 metre 88. She was

disappointed not to clear any attempts at 1 metre 91. That meant

after two events Eaton was out in front followed by Mokhnyuk and

Fodorova of Ukraine. In the shot put the Canadian through

a season's best of 13 metres 70. Morgan Lake's best throw came in the

second round with 13 metres 61. In the long jump Mokhnyuk jumped a

personal best and earned her the victory and extended her lead.

Fodorova stayed on the heels of her ecranian counterpart. Morgan Lake

produced the best of 603, a fair way off the pace.

Going into the last event those were the three in contention.

Pushing and shoving at the beginning trying to find a position. Then

settle down. Morgan Lake just getting her elbows out there. Moving

around the outside. Nwaba goes to the front. I think it's always about

judgment and trying to be ambitious but not be silly in the 800, because

you can get it wrong if you just go out a little bit too hard. She has

to attack this as much as she can. 30 seconds for the leader. Eaton

getting a nice ride through the first 200 metres and a gap

developing already in the pack. Yeah, if you look at Briaannee is

going for it, set up the quickest race, with a 210 personal best even

though it's outdoors. She will be looking to go through. Let's look at

the split time as she comes around. It's probably going to be much

quicker than she should have really paced it at. She will probably pay

the price later. Nwaba leading. Yeah, she's going for it. It's a

question of whether or not she can hang on here and at least put a

decent distance. The two Ukrainians in terms of the gold medal. Fodorova

and the three seconds with Eaton, she could move into the silver medal

position which is one she has held before. Not what she would swranted

coming here but is going for it here. 200 metres to go. The question

is can she speed up when you hear that bell? You get that little bit

of excitement. It's usually the third lap you see them just changing

their rhythm a little bit and slowing down. Here you see her

picking up the pace. Eaton really giving this a go. She could be

running for the silver medal here. Will have to wait to see what's

happening hyped her. Fodorova is behind. Eaton just hangs on for the

win. A really good performance from her. Nwaba says well done. A skrael

on after that. Eight, nine, ten seconds. Morningen Lake crossing

outside of the time required. She needed 217. I reckon it was around

about 220. A solid day for Morgan Lake.

Theisen Eaton wins the gold medal. What a performance from her in the

800 metres. Has snatched the gold from the Ukrainians. Her husband,

the first to come and congratulate her. He has had his gold medals.

This is her first. Her first global title. Goodness me does she deserve

it for that performance in the final event. I came here with a goal in

mind of doing absolutely the best I could do at every event. I honestly

couldn't have done more. So, to do it the way I was supposed to do it

and get a gold, the gold is the cherry on top. I think I would have

left with a bitter taste in my mouth with silver. A little disappointed

obviously, hoped to get higher than 7th. I can't be too unhappy with 7th

in the world at the end of the day. Yeah, it's a bittersweet feeling.

Confirmation, Theisen Eaton wins the gold.

In the women's long jump Shara Proctor is concentrating on moving

on to bigger things. I have to erase last year out of my memory. It's

important to do that and to move forward this year. I need to go into

this year with a new mindset and new goals and new standards.

It's a new British record! A stirring jump from Proctor. When I

look back at the jump it was one of the ugliest jumps. If I fix a couple

of things I can definitely go further.

The women's long jump. That's got to be close.

It is a good jump. This is a big effort in the

A world lead in the first round. What an enormous lead that is.

America's Brittany Reese has won this title also. Looking to respond

from that huge effort. The American goes in chase.

A big scream there. It's good. She likes it. Not sure what that means.

But this might threaten that seven metre leap. It's a good start for

the American. Maybe saying she twisted in the air. Let's look at it

from the front. A good leg shoot. The white flag is raised. It's a

very good start for Reese. Proctor jumped in the first round.

The second round saw fellow Brits jump 6. 31. Seven men to line up in

the first of the two races. Burgen is not one of the top

Kenyans. He is a bit of a journeyman. Not bad indoors, he is

somebody you wouldn't fear too much. For Centrowitz he has proven come

championships he can time it to perfection. And run really well. I

think he would say this year, especially, he is a lot further on

in the indoor season than in previous years and seems to be

racing very well. He ran that 350. He is in good shape and will run it

tactically well. Charlie has got himself in a great position. He is

able to monitor and stay out of the bumping going on ahead of him but be

able to react when he needs to. The danger always is that in a small

field of seven the people have been invited to these World

Championships, it makes it of a very high quality. Everybody can finish

fast. In a slow run race these guys wouldn't be here if they couldn't

finish fast. They've won national championships or run a qualifying

both or time. Holusa didn't look great in Glasgow,

I didn't think. He has run a new national record of 1,000 metres

before that. He has enough pace in his legs. Olmedo is always

dangerous. Birgen. It's good to see Charlie taking the initiative. The

Spaniard has gone, Olmedo. He still needs to concentrate on the task at

hand. The good thing for Charlie Grice is getting that chance to go

with Mo and train with him and get that extra endurance and strength

will have done his confidence a lot of good but will also mean that his

endurance is strong and he can be able to have a different way of

running the race and different options and making taking it on

earlier in the race. That was the fastest lap. Just

beginning to pick up a little bit. It's slow through the first 800.

That won't bother Centrowitz. This is where Charlie has to stay on his

toes and get pushed in. He gets his elbows out himself. He has got out

of the box there. A bit of rough and tumble indoors Starting to stretch

it out. Centrowitz finds himself at the back again after that. Charlie

did well to get out of trouble there. He didn't do Centrowitz any

favours. We will see if he is able to get back into the position he

worked hard to move up to. Two laps to go.

Centrowitz lurking on the outside there. Charlie has to just stay on

top of this here. Holusa can finish quickly. The Ethiopian trying to

hold off Centrowitz. Charlie has work to do on this last lap. They're

all still there. Every single one of them has a chance. Just the top

three don't forget to go through. As they go to the bell Charlie

Grice, I don't know whether he has much left to give now. Holusa moving

into third spot. Moving away from Charlie Grice. At the front

Centrowitz, Wolde and Holusa. It's going to be a good finish.

Centrowitz will hold on for the win. Wolde and Holusa can look back. That

will be a disappointed Charlie Grice. He can finish well. I didn't

think he looked great in the trials. He is meant to have been training

hard, things are going well for him but that isn't a reflection of his

ability certainly. Centrowitz winning ahead of Wolde and Holusa.

They qualified comfortably. Charlie can only hope that for some

reason in the second semifinal they crawl around.

The second semifinal. Nick Willis of New Zealand one of the big games.

Souleiman one of favourites for the gold taking on Chris O Hare of Great

Britain. A tough race here. Only the top three go through. Chris O Hare

knows that the top three definitely go through, but all of these men

know that the first heat was not particularly fast and if they win a

fairly pace and pick it up on the last 400 then six men could go

through from that race. How many times have we seen all

coming out are not taking advantage of the advantage you had in the

second heat. We will have an idea when they get to the first couple of

laps. There is quality in this field and you do need to take advantage.

You cannot rely on a fast finish because they can all finish fast. As

we saw last week, Robbie Andrews is a huge danger if you let it go to

slow. Willis said he is training in Flagstaff. He said he ran a personal

best, rolling start metres. You go quicker at altitude. You hit a golf

ball further as well! Wote, setting them off at a pretty good pace.

Andrews of the USA, in third spot. Chris O her of Great Britain happy

to stay at the back. Six of those top seven no app this pace, they

have only got to get ahead of one of those people in the group, then you

will go through to the final. The question is, of the group of seven,

who will lose out? The idea is to keep moving forward one space and

one spot at the time. If you are Chris O Hare, he can keep their

night on who is struggling. They will take turns at the front. When

Wote gets fed up of leading and moves aside, hopefully they will not

lose the work they have done. Chris is moving up. The Spaniard has won

the under 23 indoor Championships, so he must possess some speed.

29.99, just slowing a little bit. They have given themselves a

platform, they need to finish this off. Willis at the back of the

group. Souliman takes a wider track to go around Wote. Was it an

invitation was it encouragement by Chris, to get somebody to go to the

front that didn't have to be him, to keep the pace moving along. Andrews

gets a little nudge and decides to go back inside. Wote, now wants to

be on the outside as we take the bell. Only six will go through.

O'Hare in a great position. They are all having a look behind. All six

will go through. Sadly it means Charlie Grice will not make it

through to the final. But Chris O'Hare running a very well judged

race. Wote, Kibet and Willis will go

through as the fastest losers. Back in the long jump. Shara Proctor had

no jump in the fourth. Brittany Reese. She likes it. Her

best so far, 6.97. She jumped 6.88 in the previous round. This might

threaten the leader. Just as we wait to see this measurement, it looked

as though Brittany Reese has given the Serbian something to think about

in the penultimate round. Look at that, exactly the same. Seven metres

exactly, goes into the lead with count back. 6.97 as a back-up. Ugen

in the fifth round. That is very much better the Ugen. Struggled to

find her form in the early rounds. But has improved by a fraction of

centimetres. 6.93. She has gone into third place. It is all kicking off

in the fifth round of the long jump. Maybe as a result of Eton's

performance in the 800 metres. Has she gone back into the lead? That is

a New World leading mark the Spanovic. Absolutely superb

performance the Spanovic. On to the semifinals of the women's 400

metres. The line-up is like this: At the American Championships,

Spencer came through. This time she has started quickly. Has a tendency

not to go hard on the first 200. The poll has not use the advantage of

the outside lane. Spencer coming across. Swift, but not too fast

through the first 200. Spencer controlling things. De Witee is

trying to get into this. Top three only go through. Spencer starting to

move away. She is always stronger in the last 30, 40 metres. Showing her

talent, the American. 52.41 the American. Second semifinal.

MacPherson is going to have to make up some ground to get on terms with

these two. MacPherson has got herself involved. They cut across at

the break point. Top three will go through. If MacPherson is third, she

will not get a good lane in the final. Hayes, still looks

comfortable. The American looming. MacPherson trying to challenge

again. Hayes wants to win this. It was the quicker race, very quick

through the first 200 metres. All three were struggling in the last

50. Adekoya long on. MacPherson will be

in the final, but won't get a good lane draw. A full summary of the

athletes who have made it through to the final. Adekoya heading up the

qualifiers. Ashley Spencer, may be a bit more to come from her. That

could be telling. The road to Rio's Olympics is a long

one, so watch Mo Farah on Saturday from 1:30pm on BBC One.

Ugen, in third place. This is the last round of the long jump. Quick

on the approach. She has matched the British record in the penultimate

round. This, the last round. It is another long way into the sand pits.

Finally found her form. She struggled slightly in the early

rounds. It is a valid jump. Lorraine Ugen, finally got her rhythm going.

6.86, it is another good effort. May come away with a bronze medal. It is

De Loach, who could deprive her of that. Britain may be has its first

medal from these world indoor Championships. De Loach, of the

United States, can stop that happening with this very jump. 6.93,

or better. De Loach, quick on the approach. It is a huge effort. That

is an enormous jump for De Loach. It may even take the lead. 6.89 it is

for De Loach. A season's best, but not enough to stop Lorraine Ugen

taking the bronze medal. Great performance for Lorraine Ugen. 6.93

it was. Brittany Reese in a silver medal spot. Olympic champion from

2012, went into the lead in the fifth round momentarily. For a

matter of seconds before it was pulled back in favour of the

Serbian, Spanovic. What is it to be? Whitney Rees, you need to jump in

excess of 7.7 centimetres. If you want to upgrade your silver medal to

a gold medal. She is attacking this hard. It is enormous. Brittany Reese

looks as though she has saved her best for the last round. She knows

it. She doesn't need to look back. Surely that goes into the lead.

Spanovic, has another jump. Their effect on the board. The crowd know.

7.22! I New World leading mark. But it's not a gold medal yet. My word,

what an enormous effort. Spanovic has led for the majority of this

competition. Responded well when she sought Brittany Reese take the lead.

Has just seen a world leading mark of 7.22, one centimetre short of her

own championship record. She said that when she won this title four

years ago. Spanovic, 7.20 two. Twisted in the air. It is not going

to be enough. That is agonising the Spanovic. William performance from

Brittany Reese. Gold medal for the USA. Brilliance performance.

Absolutely superb effort in the last round. The showcase worked well in

favour of the home advantage for the American. Huge effort. And Britain's

first medal. Superb from the rain Ugen. 6.93, to get the bronze medal.

How Brittany Reese responded, 7.20 two. It feels fantastic. I am happy

to be able to jump well at a championship and get on the podium.

Big jump, 6.93? Personal best, and the national record. The gold medal

to Brittany Reese. Spanovic has to settle for the silver and a bronze

the Ugen. New Zealand's Tom Walsh dominated the men's shot at with

five throws over 21 metres. His best sixth round throw.

The men's 400 metres semifinal. Two races. Again first three and no

fastest losers making it through to the final.

This one looks pretty tough with Clemons of the United States and

Brenes. Taplin away quickly. Taplin normally

likes to control this. He run it hard through the first 200. The

American Clemons is trying to make up. His team-mate was disqualified.

He has work to do. Top three. Taplin out there.

Clemons is doing his best to get around. Out in front Taplin all the

way looking very dominant and strong. Moves away, a real scrap for

third. Lendore hangs on and Mweresa taking third.

A tough semifinal with Brenes and Clemons not going through.

Impressive running from Taplin. That's quick. You can see how much

distance there was between him and Lendore and Mweresa.

The line up for the second semifinal.

Top three to go through. Winning this semifinal is so important. A

very good start. Just makes up a yard on Haroun. Maslak started

quickly. These three already pulling away. Gordon gave a wide run into

that bend there. This tall figure getting around. They're not steep

curves here but Haroun cannot hold off Maslak who cuts across. Loses a

metre or so. Loses momentum. That could be critical for Haroun. Trying

to get back on terms with Maslak who is controlling this. Gordon can't

keep with these two. Can Maslak hold off Haroun. He moves out, makes them

run further. Haroun just about... Well I am going to say gets there,

did he? The chest of Maslak protruding as they cross the line.

It's going to be close. He thinks he did it. He may be right. Haroun

strong. You have to say just lost a little bit of momentum. He wanted to

get in the front. You can see why. These two certainly gave Gordon no

chance of getting involved at the front. The result of an extremely

competitive second semifinal. Gordon having to settle for a distant

third. Tiffany Porter missed out on a medal in Beijing but is looking to

add to her collection here in the 60 metre hurdles. She caught up with

David McDaid. Sglp 2012, you got the silver. 2014

you had a bronze. How much do you want to complete the

set? I want desperately to come away victorious. I love champs in

general. It's another opportunity to put on the GB vest. Every

opportunity is an opportunity to race against the best there. The

ladies are running fast and it's going to be a great competition.

Nobody really trains to be second place. Hopefully I can put together

a race that will make me victorious. The USA so well represented here.

Rollins, Harrison, Porter, Solomon for Great Britain.

Will be a big surprise if Ivancevic was to pip the Americans here.

Rollins I think is the favourite but it's so close to call here.

It's about executing. It always is in the hurdles. You have to start

well, obviously. And then stay calm. Hurdles clattering around you.

Harrison has the ability to run 400 hurdles as well. She was so close to

Rollins in the US championships here last week. It was less than 100th of

a second. Ali looked good in qualification. Maybe she's rounded

nice le at the right time for the final. I said that Porter will need

to improve a little bit. Only ran eight flat in qualifying and in

qualification race it was a poor start, as well.

She will have to be much better. No country has ever had a clean sweep

here. The USA have had two in the top three. Canada have had two in

the top three. Jamaica have had two in the top three but no country has

ever had a clean sweep in the women's 60 metres hurdles.

Set. Look at that in the middle Harrison

gets the best start and hits the first hurdle. Rollins is leading.

Porter trying to get there. Ali gets there!

Nia Ali right at the end came through to defend her title. Porter

ran a much better race. Rollins couldn't hang on.

Well, no American one, two, three again. Tiffany Porter, a much better

performance from her. What about Ali? It looked as though... Harrison

got the best start and then slammed into the first hurdle. Because of

that her race was gone. Ali now realising what she has done. Only

Jones has ever defended this title successfully. Of the three Americans

she was not the one expected to win the gold medal. The other two were

the favourites. She's the one who has come through.

Tony? It's an interesting start here. Rollins stumbles. Harrison

gets out. I think she pushed too hard, got too close to the hurdle

and ended up on top of it. She has eight strides to the first hurdle

and is pushed, and determined and got right on top of it. There is a

lead. As it comes up, hits the hurdle. From that point on it looked

like Rollins... Look at Ali. Porter got a better start and held on well.

She wasn't sure about her position but to be fair she was a clean

bronze medallist there. The gold and bronze the same as last time.

Rollins coming through for the silver this time. As you were! Well,

the Americans getting the two, not the full three, though. Well done

Tiffany Porter. She saved her best performance of the season for the

final. The gold medal goes to Nia Ali, she defends her title with a

season's best. Rollins takes silver. Another world indoor championship

medal for Tiffany Porter. Same as two years ago. Bronze medal.

A really good performance from her. Serita Solomon in 7th. Tiffany,

another world medal. A bronze this time. How do you feel? I am just

very pleased I was able to bounce back from a horrendous preliminary.

I am encouraged, happy to come away with the medal. Everyone is running

fast and I am pleased. I have to focus on my own lane. You cannot get

caught up in what everybody else is doing. As a competitor it's

important, it's important to focus on yourself and I am happy I was

able to do that and bring home another medal. Tiffany Porter, a

deserved bronze. It hasn't been the best of seasons for her. She

certainly saved her best until last. Coming through to take another World

Championship medal. Not the gold yet, but that's her third world

indoor medal in a row. Now we move to the men's. 60 metres

flat. First ever world indoor title. There they are.

Bromell surely will be looking to the Olympics this summer as a chance

to show what he can do. Collins will be there again. Qualification for

him won't be as difficult as it is for the Americans.

You know that Collins won't tie up. Collins always seems to produce his

best when he needs it. Powell always has those question

marks hanging over him. What about Su? Just missed out on a medal two

years ago. Gittens can start very quickly. He did that in the semis

and then kept going. Mike Rodgers, 30 years of age now.

Finding himself on the periphery of this final.

The final event of day two of these world indoor championships.

Powell gets another cracking start. So does Bromell. Powell is trying to

get there. Bromell wins it! Once again Powell cannot win a world

title. He has been beaten by a younger man and a better man on the

day. This is a huge sprint talent. A medal outdoors last year and it's a

gold medal this time. Trayvon Bromell comes out on top and once

more Powell can only look and wonder. You couldn't say that Powell

didn't start well. He was in the race at this point. Then he doesn't

move through. Where is the flowing Powell? Where is is the Powell that

we saw in the heats and semifinal? He doesn't run with the same

fluidity. Bromell got ahead of him and you said get ahead of him and

put him under pressure, Tony. You do not see the same Powell coming

through. That's what Bromell did. It's interesting, you look at

Asafa's face. He is more tense running. That tension throughout the

whole body probably affected the stride length. May have had the

frequency of step but doesn't get the knees into the same position.

Bromell confirmed as the gold medallist with a new personal best.

Brilliant run from him. Powell needs to wait and perhaps come back again.

Will he ever win a global title? This -- this was his big chance. It

was silver for the Jamaican. A really cracking race. Just look at

that at the bottom two, you might have thought they would be among the

medals in these championships, having to settle for 7th and 8th in

a cracking men's 60 metre final. Our coverage of the championships

continues tonight on the red button at 6.00pm. Then on BBC Two at

midnight. For those of you who can't stay up that late you can catch

highlights tomorrow at 3.00pm on BBC Two.

It's been a cracking day two. A wonderful story. Gold medal for

Eaton in the women's pentathlon. Hopefully more success for Great

Britain. Goodbye and we will see you soon.
