:00:19. > :01:12.(MUSIC PLAYING). That is brilliant! They win the gold medal. Top of the
:01:13. > :01:34.world, again! Welcome to highlights to the final
:01:35. > :01:40.days highlights of IAAF World Indoor Championships, in Portland.
:01:41. > :01:57.There have been fabulous performance is -- performances so far. 3 fall
:01:58. > :02:03.Great Britain. Isabel Pooley has had to wait until the final day to
:02:04. > :02:09.compete in the High jump. And on track in the women's 3000m, she has
:02:10. > :02:16.been in great form and will not want to surrender her title. An exciting
:02:17. > :02:24.schedule ahead and joining the part of the regular team of Andy, Paula
:02:25. > :02:32.and Steve. Tony Minichiello is our special guest. The 1st of the 2
:02:33. > :02:46.semifinals. The 1st 2 will go through.
:02:47. > :02:54.The 1st semi-final. Pascal Martinot-Lagarde the favourite to go
:02:55. > :03:08.through. Eddie Lovett next to him and Jarrod Eaton to his left. --
:03:09. > :03:16.Jarret Eaton. Eaton of the United States doing well here. 753 and that
:03:17. > :03:24.is just outside the season test for the American. Those 2 had a little
:03:25. > :03:30.bit of air between themselves and the others. This is what may be
:03:31. > :03:37.forced to need to get into. Eaton did not look as comfortable. It does
:03:38. > :03:44.look this time as if the blocks are further apart. 7 steps to the 1st
:03:45. > :03:49.hurdles for the 2 tall guys whereas normally it would be 8 steps. That
:03:50. > :03:59.is why they are probably cramping up. Braithwaite and Eddie Lovett
:04:00. > :04:05.taking the 2 spots. Pascal Martinot-Lagarde has done nothing to
:04:06. > :04:15.suggest he cannot win this but Eaton will make him think about this. 752
:04:16. > :04:24.is not super fast. Confirmation of the 1st semi-final.
:04:25. > :04:34.You would have to go back to the Commonwealth game in Delhi in 2010
:04:35. > :04:40.to find when Laurence Clark last 1 medal. Despite showing so much
:04:41. > :04:45.potential, injury has played in and stop further medal hopes. After
:04:46. > :04:53.making a comeback in 2015, he hoped for success in Beijing but sadly it
:04:54. > :05:02.was not to be. He decided it was time for a change of team, he joined
:05:03. > :05:12.his new team in Paris. New season, new coach, new start. Is going be
:05:13. > :05:20.his year? 1 thing Laurence Clark has is that he is a very good
:05:21. > :05:23.competitor. If you look at McLeod, O'Farrell and Adams, they would be
:05:24. > :05:48.the favourites. Clarke again with a dip. Another
:05:49. > :05:55.strong run from Omar McLeod. Another good run from Clarke but probably
:05:56. > :06:02.not enough to go through as 1 of the qualifiers. Almost a stumble out of
:06:03. > :06:10.the blocks, Tony Minichiello watching. Finishing strongly? What
:06:11. > :06:13.you try to do when you come out the blocks, you have to get your knees
:06:14. > :06:20.together so when you put your 1st foot down, you really want the 2nd
:06:21. > :06:30.knee through. If you delay at all, when you put the next foot down, you
:06:31. > :06:33.do not stabilise as well. O'Farrell missing out. Omar McLeod, the
:06:34. > :07:01.winner. Qualifiers for the final. Pascal
:07:02. > :07:08.Martinot-Lagarde leading them at. Omar McLeod close. Dimitri Bascou
:07:09. > :07:21.not looking so good in the semi-final. Just an hour or 2 before
:07:22. > :07:26.they come back. A bit disappointed. It was not to be. I got a very good
:07:27. > :07:32.start. Nothing wrong technically. I was ill for ten days before the
:07:33. > :07:39.championship so maybe I was a bit drained but I felt great today
:07:40. > :07:49.at... Isabel Pooley, of Great Britain. She did wobble, just a
:07:50. > :07:55.little bit. That is probably just cold. You have been standing about,
:07:56. > :08:01.waiting. Just lead singer with the inside arm and that is what takes
:08:02. > :08:06.across the bar. For me, it should go upwards, followed by hand. The
:08:07. > :08:15.bronze medallist in the Commonwealth Games.
:08:16. > :08:23.Familiarising himself with the indoor version, not massively
:08:24. > :08:42.different. That is a big jump, I think. I think he likes it. 24 years
:08:43. > :08:47.of age. The lead under threat, here. Britain's athlete yet to jump. He
:08:48. > :08:56.doesn't like it. That takes the lead. Marquis Dendy, surely not
:08:57. > :09:02.going to jump with that hat on! If that hat comes off, they measure it
:09:03. > :09:10.from where the hat lands. Good point. Possibly the preevent
:09:11. > :09:19.favourite, the world leader with 841. Dig stride, turning into more
:09:20. > :09:25.sprinting strides. The deep and dive, Tony, very evident in Marquis
:09:26. > :09:31.Dendy. Seeking redemption after the world championships in Beijing. Came
:09:32. > :09:39.in expecting to do well, last summer, but did not. If you notice,
:09:40. > :09:50.from head-on, he moves laterally to the side. Isabel Pooley, 2 fouls at
:09:51. > :10:02.this new height. 3rd time, has to go clear. She gave it a rattle. Well,
:10:03. > :10:09.she can breathe again. Sigh of relief. Competition continues but
:10:10. > :10:15.only just. You cannot knock it much harder than that without it coming
:10:16. > :10:27.off. We draw nearer to the 3 thousand metres.
:10:28. > :10:39.Lee in manual goes in the final. Quite an even contest. I do know if
:10:40. > :10:52.I can pick a winner. If you're looking for the winner? The way that
:10:53. > :11:02.he has raised, he is the man to beat. There was a lot of fire in him
:11:03. > :11:06.when he finished his hit going down. He will be the man to watch. It
:11:07. > :11:22.depends how much damage was done to get back into contention. Ryan
:11:23. > :11:35.Hill, so much local hope and expectation but he has to be
:11:36. > :11:53.realistic, he is in the top 5. Knee surgery for Taliban de COO -- Caleb
:11:54. > :12:02.Ndiku. The youngest man in the line-up, 18 years old. What a
:12:03. > :12:08.talent. The final of the men's 3000m. Lee in manual looking to find
:12:09. > :12:16.himself a decent position. It will get tougher as well. We wonder what
:12:17. > :12:31.the pace will be. Someone with a good kick finish.
:12:32. > :12:40.Showing a bit of inexperience in the way he ran the heat but also wanted
:12:41. > :12:50.to show the shape he was in. Canada and Ryan Hill on his shoulder. They
:12:51. > :13:02.worked together day in day out. Making sure this is a recent pack.
:13:03. > :13:07.They wanted to be keen to get it moving a little bit. A lot of guys
:13:08. > :13:17.sitting in their who will not fancy their kicks against the likes of
:13:18. > :13:22.Yomif Kajelcha and Caleb Ndiku. We might see some pace snap a little
:13:23. > :13:41.bit. The pace is starting to lift a
:13:42. > :13:51.little bit. There was a struggle in the heat when he tried to find
:13:52. > :13:57.himself a better position. You can see the change in third position
:13:58. > :14:05.there. He had some problems with his Achilles last year. But he knows
:14:06. > :14:10.this track so well from the US championships here last weekend.
:14:11. > :14:18.Very recent success on this track. We can see the pace creeping up,
:14:19. > :14:30.relatively comfortable at the moment. 2.18 three that 800 metres
:14:31. > :14:35.is relatively slow. Seems to be winding up a little bit, you can see
:14:36. > :14:43.how much the field has strung out behind that. Moving wide down the
:14:44. > :14:49.straight to try and move up, nobody really keen to do anything about
:14:50. > :14:58.taking the lead from Ndiku at the moment. Making sure that any move
:14:59. > :15:23.that Ndiku makes, everyone else knows about it. Ryan Hill, a few
:15:24. > :15:34.paces back from the Kenyans. Some strong representation from Kenya. He
:15:35. > :16:06.has a tremendous kick. Looking very comfortable in his heat. Robinson,
:16:07. > :16:11.just in front of we -- Lee Emanual. People's nerves starting to get on
:16:12. > :16:35.edge. This is where the likes of Brad -- Brett Robinson and Lee
:16:36. > :16:55.Emanual might try to make a move. Ryan Hill sitting in second place,
:16:56. > :17:08.where he has for most of the race. Still fairly bunched, at the back is
:17:09. > :17:12.Ndiku, first to strike. It was a quick move that he made. He got
:17:13. > :17:22.himself in a little bit of trouble as he tried to move out and around.
:17:23. > :17:38.But he stayed at the back. Didn't really want to relinquish the lead.
:17:39. > :17:49.Bashir just has a little shove in the back of Ndiku. The pace is
:17:50. > :17:54.lifting. Lee Emanual is just getting a bit stretched. Robinson begins to
:17:55. > :18:34.lose a bit of touch. Rainhill has moved through and put
:18:35. > :19:05.himself in a very good position. The pace is lifting. Ndiku, trying to
:19:06. > :19:17.remain in contact with the top four. Taking turns in the front. We might
:19:18. > :19:35.see him tested in a way we haven't yet this year. Kejelcha Kejelcha,
:19:36. > :19:48.the 18-year-old, out in front. Can he hang on? Kejelcha looking to see
:19:49. > :20:05.who is with him. A stumble, catching himself on the outside. It is
:20:06. > :20:14.between Kejelcha and Choge. The Kenyan has to settle for bronze, it
:20:15. > :20:24.was a brave run for the youngster. He still had that drives in the
:20:25. > :20:29.finish -- drive. A gold medal for Kejelcha of Ethiopia. It might have
:20:30. > :20:41.looked boring race early on, but it wasn't the finish. -- it wasn't at
:20:42. > :20:59.the finish. The Cats this last lap in the last time, still making up
:21:00. > :21:11.ground -- look at this last lap and the last run. We know that Kejelcha
:21:12. > :21:21.will be a real danger in Rio. Choge had to settle. It just came down to
:21:22. > :21:26.the kick he had on that final sprint, we saw it in the heat and we
:21:27. > :21:32.saw it again in the final. He is only going to get better, at 18
:21:33. > :21:46.years old. A very impressive silver medal for Ryan Hill. I think that
:21:47. > :21:57.did just test him a little bit by making it such an assertive pace.
:21:58. > :22:03.Lee Emanual did not really do anything wrong, he could have pushed
:22:04. > :22:17.a bit earlier on, but he could not have competed with the likes of this
:22:18. > :22:23.guy. A very, very good race, started sluggishly but finished with a
:22:24. > :22:44.flourish. This is a confirmation of the final places.
:22:45. > :23:02.Looking to keep a clean sheet as she has so far. A perfect start for her.
:23:03. > :23:15.46 years of age. Double the age of competitor the United States. -- her
:23:16. > :23:21.competitor from the United States. Have a look at cunning ham, she goes
:23:22. > :23:34.very quickly from her first checkmark. -- Cunningham. Not a lot
:23:35. > :23:40.can go wrong with that when it is as committed and tidy as that. The
:23:41. > :23:51.youngster showing some poor is and composure in the early heights. A
:23:52. > :24:04.perfect sheet so far. Across to the men's long jump final. This is the
:24:05. > :24:10.event leader from South Africa. One of only two athletes beyond eight
:24:11. > :24:22.metres. Looking to improve on his own mark. And he may have done. In
:24:23. > :24:43.the lead with 8.14. The next behind him is 8.05. He likes it, it is
:24:44. > :25:04.8.18. A national indoor record. The women's 800 metre final. Angie
:25:05. > :25:20.Wilson, a former world champion. Watch out for the return of the
:25:21. > :25:32.opponent in lane one. Roesler looked very good in qualifying. Wilson had
:25:33. > :25:46.a disappointing world indoor Championship a couple of years ago,
:25:47. > :26:15.knocked out in the heat. Alemo, from Ethiopia, just 18 years old.
:26:16. > :26:23.Niyonsaba had a great year working with Mike Rowland. It is a
:26:24. > :26:38.partnership that is already bearing fruit. Niyonsaba likes to go to the
:26:39. > :27:00.front. What about Wilson? A few years ago, had teammate won the gold
:27:01. > :27:06.medal. --. Indoors, four laps of the track -- her teammate. You need to
:27:07. > :27:13.do what Angie Wilson has done, control the field but not go too
:27:14. > :27:17.quickly. We also saw Angie Wilson in the first round go to the front and
:27:18. > :27:26.control the race from there, I think she is more likely to do that than
:27:27. > :27:38.take it out at a suicidal pace. Solid, but not too fast. Nothing
:27:39. > :27:56.silly. Alemo can't decide what she wants to do. Wilson has two -- to
:27:57. > :28:04.relinquish the lead. Moved right to the front in a big battle. Still
:28:05. > :28:17.moving away, she has put in a big surge. Niyonsaba won a medal in this
:28:18. > :28:24.event in 1989. Going for gold. Angie Wilson looks as though she is spent.
:28:25. > :28:31.Out in front, Niyonsaba. Maintaining this case. Angie Wilson trying to
:28:32. > :28:40.lift herself, the crowd are doing their best. Niyonsaba still in
:28:41. > :28:57.front, now Wilson starts to attack around the bend. Is there enough
:28:58. > :29:04.time? Niyonsaba hanging on. 2.02. Not superfast, but I think Niyonsaba
:29:05. > :29:15.just grabbed the race by the neck and Wilson got caught behind.
:29:16. > :29:27.This is where Francine Niyonsaba does, no, I going to win from the
:29:28. > :29:36.front. Too much to do in the last 100. The damage was done in the 1st
:29:37. > :29:43.200 metres. The fastest lap of the race. Ajee Wilson actually did not
:29:44. > :29:49.believe she had enough left and it was only when she started seeing
:29:50. > :29:57.Francine Niyonsaba adrift towards the and that got her up from bronze
:29:58. > :30:06.to silver. Fairly even paced running. You would have thought that
:30:07. > :30:12.Wilson would have enjoyed that type of race a bit more. It was where she
:30:13. > :30:20.moved as well, she moved with 500 metres to go. She fell into 2
:30:21. > :30:28.laps... It was a little bit deceptive. She surged with such
:30:29. > :30:38.speed may be her coach told to pass on the straight not the turn. The
:30:39. > :30:46.coach will be delighted with her performance tactically, to win the
:30:47. > :30:55.gold medal. Wilson will be disappointed with the silver medal.
:30:56. > :31:10.I am sure. Jed Anderson, he jumped 852 outdoors at last summer --
:31:11. > :31:18.Henderson. He rather fell apart in Beijing, can he composed himself
:31:19. > :31:32.here. He is in 3rd place after the 1st round. But we saw an improvement
:31:33. > :31:41.from Rushwal Samaai. Good competitive effort. Responding to
:31:42. > :31:54.the leap from Rushwal Samaai. The landing. A tidy jump. He controlled
:31:55. > :32:07.his speed well. That takes the lead. Marquis Dendy, hit -- he saw his
:32:08. > :32:16.teammate take the lead. Big moment here from Dendy. On home soil, the
:32:17. > :32:25.American, Jeff Henderson leaves. Though, is that good on the board?
:32:26. > :32:36.Difficult to see. Does not really like it, does he? Goodspeed on the
:32:37. > :32:44.runway. Retains his height. Not a big fan of the deep and dive. A good
:32:45. > :32:54.jump from Dendy. It takes the lead, 8.26. A good effort from him.
:32:55. > :33:05.America 1-2 as we stand. Next on the track, the women's 3000 metres
:33:06. > :33:17.featuring the all conquering Genzebe Dibaba.
:33:18. > :33:31.Genzebe Dibaba! Genzebe Dibaba gets the gold! Genzebe Dibaba has been
:33:32. > :33:35.sweeping and gathering the records and beating longer established
:33:36. > :33:41.marques, indoors and out, and collect in titles but there will be
:33:42. > :33:49.a bit of a test. Just how to beat Genzebe Dibaba because she can win
:33:50. > :34:05.in any fashion she chooses. The Polish athlete does not start.
:34:06. > :34:15.Genzebe Dibaba, no doubt the athlete to win and can anybody beat her? In
:34:16. > :34:23.answer to your question, do they know how to beat her? They saw it be
:34:24. > :34:27.done in Beijing at whether they are capable of making her hurt enough in
:34:28. > :34:37.the middle of the race is another question. Meseret Defar, more a
:34:38. > :34:41.custom to racing against her older sister then she is against Genzebe
:34:42. > :34:59.Dibaba. She will be strong but will she have the pace to react to
:35:00. > :35:05.Genzebe Dibaba? Shannon Rowbury. You expect Genzebe Dibaba and a Meseret
:35:06. > :35:10.Defar to be challenging for the gold medal but there is a bronze medal to
:35:11. > :35:17.play for and quite a lot of women to challenge. Shannon Rowbury,
:35:18. > :35:28.homeground. She is as ready and she will ever before a home final.
:35:29. > :35:42.Meseret Defar came back with a 15 K race, her 1st race since the end of
:35:43. > :35:49.2013. Gave birth to her daughter before that. Genzebe Dibaba taking
:35:50. > :35:55.over the mantle as the leading middle-distance runner of Ethiopian
:35:56. > :36:00.women athletics. It must have been very interesting for Meseret Defar
:36:01. > :36:10.watching Genzebe Dibabaposmac cries when she was starting a family. They
:36:11. > :36:20.will be the women to beat, those 2. A lot of athlete battling until the
:36:21. > :36:29.final couple of laps. Watch with interest what the pace might be. The
:36:30. > :36:38.pace not too quick. This will be just a jogging round. We will see
:36:39. > :36:46.who makes a move to the front. It might be Steph Twell, she started
:36:47. > :36:55.her career as a 1500m champion. She knows she is a lot stronger in the
:36:56. > :37:02.middle distances. Sviatlana Kudzelich is another athlete who
:37:03. > :37:12.will want the pace to pick up. Also Maureen Koster and Shannon Rowbury,
:37:13. > :37:20.sitting on the inside with Abbey D'Agostino shadowing. Sviatlana
:37:21. > :37:26.Kudzelich looks like she wanted the pace to lift and did not want to go
:37:27. > :37:52.to the front but eventually she does. The absent Russian... It would
:37:53. > :37:57.have been interesting, another race that people would have been
:37:58. > :38:18.interested in was to see how Sun race that she won in the 1500. --
:38:19. > :38:26.Hassan there will be some nervous women and some happy women seeing it
:38:27. > :38:32.go so slow. Certainly somebody surely will react. Sheila Reid
:38:33. > :38:41.moving up, trailing with Mark Rowland. She will be very accustomed
:38:42. > :39:03.to racing against the likes of Shana robbery. -- Shannon Rowbury.
:39:04. > :39:35.A few athletes will be moving to the 5000 target for the Rio Olympics.
:39:36. > :39:43.Genzebe Dibaba deciding to take control of the race. Tucking in
:39:44. > :39:59.behind Steph Twell. Everybody suddenly picks up the pace. Putting
:40:00. > :40:05.herself in good position there. She has got herself in very good
:40:06. > :40:10.position as Genzebe Dibaba goes to the front and picks up the pace and
:40:11. > :40:22.all the girls behind had to react and Steph Twell reacted the best. I
:40:23. > :40:26.was wondering if the championship record might go but because of the
:40:27. > :40:34.slow 1st few laps it will not. Genzebe Dibaba could have had it if
:40:35. > :40:38.she wanted. She can even still threaten it if she decides to turn
:40:39. > :40:47.it on. She has really blown the field away already. Steph Twell in a
:40:48. > :40:51.very good position, just ahead of a Meseret Defar. Meseret Defar, the
:40:52. > :40:56.only athlete of calibre to threaten Genzebe Dibaba but Genzebe Dibaba
:40:57. > :41:07.putting on a bit of an exhibition at the moment. 31.8 2nd 200 metres e.g.
:41:08. > :41:13.That race after they had been lapping about 38 seconds per lap.
:41:14. > :41:19.Doing that will do that kind of damage. Steph had herself in very
:41:20. > :41:25.good position and has reacted and she's holding with it and staying
:41:26. > :41:36.with it. Meseret Defar happy to stay behind there. But she will have to
:41:37. > :41:43.make a move is she is to catch up to Genzebe Dibaba.
:41:44. > :41:50.The gap beginning to narrow just a little bit and Meseret Defar hanging
:41:51. > :41:58.off on the back of Steph Twell and she will be making a move soon.
:41:59. > :42:11.Looking up at the screen to see it where she is placed. The former
:42:12. > :42:20.Ethiopian is there as well. I sought Shannon Rowbury, she did not react
:42:21. > :42:31.very quickly. She is looking as though she is a racing more for the
:42:32. > :42:47.silver medal and not concerned so much with what Genzebe Dibaba is
:42:48. > :42:54.doing. Beginning to lose a bit of contact. Maureen Koster the team
:42:55. > :43:05.behind the athlete as well. Meseret Defar, with all the experience.
:43:06. > :43:14.Genzebe Dibaba a long way clear and the gold medal surely is going to be
:43:15. > :43:20.hers. It is Meseret Defar in 2nd place at the moment. Steph Twell
:43:21. > :43:27.just beginning to lose touch to Maureen Koster and that group
:43:28. > :43:42.beginning to battle for the bronze medal. The 2 Ethiopians out in front
:43:43. > :43:47.and clear. It is almost like you are slowing down but 67 is a very quick
:43:48. > :43:55.pace. These women are really struggling to make any inroads. It
:43:56. > :44:05.looks like a battle for the bronze medal between Shannon Rowbury and
:44:06. > :44:12.Maureen Koster. A few paces back to Maureen Koster but Genzebe Dibaba
:44:13. > :44:20.with 300 metres to go, a long way clear of Meseret Defar and she is
:44:21. > :44:24.striding towards another gold medal. The bell goes. Another majestic
:44:25. > :44:30.performance from Genzebe Dibaba. She is going to lap the back of the
:44:31. > :44:41.field. Shana robbery perhaps beginning to close in. Genzebe
:44:42. > :44:48.Dibaba, all the way around. Striding towards another gold medal. What an
:44:49. > :44:54.athlete this woman is! It will be gold in Portland Fort Genzebe
:44:55. > :45:02.Dibaba. Silver for Meseret Defar and Shana robbery taking the bronze
:45:03. > :45:16.ahead of Maureen Koster. -- Shannon Rowbury.
:45:17. > :45:22.She had an injection of pace and just decided to take them on. There
:45:23. > :45:23.is controlling the field, and there is playing with
:45:24. > :45:28.is controlling the field, and there is playing with the field. She was
:45:29. > :45:39.so far ahead of the rest of the girls that she was able to do that,
:45:40. > :46:01.putting that 31 second 200 metres in the middle of the race. She had so
:46:02. > :46:08.much of a cushion. It was a 32 second 200 metres. It finished with
:46:09. > :46:27.a 2.47 and a 2.44. I don't think she is even that tired, either. This is
:46:28. > :46:37.the final of the women's event. Round three of the man's long jump.
:46:38. > :46:52.-- men's. A big jump, beyond eight metres. 7.82, pretty tidy. It is
:46:53. > :46:57.interesting, the Chinese now have a new carriage waiting for them who is
:46:58. > :47:05.working with their jumpers and we are seeing a lot of improvement --
:47:06. > :47:15.new coach working for them. Very proficient jumping. Huang looks like
:47:16. > :47:26.he has improved his situation. The personal best, 8.19. Daniel Bramble
:47:27. > :47:39.in eighth place. Will he make it through to the second half of the
:47:40. > :47:45.competition? A big jump! Great effort from him and! Made a big
:47:46. > :47:51.break through last year. Jumping over eight metres on a few
:47:52. > :48:00.occasions. Gain some experience competing in Beijing last summer. --
:48:01. > :48:06.gained. Looks as though he has improved on his second-round effort.
:48:07. > :48:16.A great jump, moving up into fifth. A superb job, not as quick on the
:48:17. > :48:27.runway but gets Fat -- jump -- gets far. This should do it. The question
:48:28. > :48:31.was what she would do when it came to major championships, but I think
:48:32. > :48:40.she has entered that. So far, no failures. In first place, dominating
:48:41. > :48:55.the women's final. Brilliant clearance in first place. Lapierre,
:48:56. > :49:04.no stranger to a major Championship. Got a silver medal last summer.
:49:05. > :49:22.Lapierre, round three. A big effort from him. 7.78 in the second round.
:49:23. > :49:30.We saw Daniel Bramble move up into fifth. Lapierre had an efficient use
:49:31. > :49:39.of force, almost perfect on the board. Very tidy. 8.25, a new
:49:40. > :49:49.Australian indoor record. In second place behind Dendy.
:49:50. > :50:00.Second attempt, that's better. We saw Cunningham go over on her first
:50:01. > :50:20.attempt, the rest of the athletes have their second attempts. She
:50:21. > :50:25.joins Cunningham. Second place. Beitia, 46 years of age. Double the
:50:26. > :50:35.age of Cunningham. Still incredibly capable, she jumped at 1.98. But she
:50:36. > :50:43.is carrying a foul at this height. In third place at the moment. Second
:50:44. > :51:01.attempt for Beitia. That's better. A great jump from Ruth Beitia! Keeps
:51:02. > :51:20.her hopes alive. The little when Ian has had to failures, it needs is to
:51:21. > :51:29.stay in the competition -- The Lithuanian has had two failures.
:51:30. > :51:45.The route to rear is a long one. Watch Mo Farah on Saturday on BBC
:51:46. > :51:51.One -- the road to Rio. Mo Farah might be taking a special interest
:51:52. > :52:39.in the next event on the track, the men's 1500 metre final.
:52:40. > :52:58.Does Nick Willis still have the speed? He has been training in
:52:59. > :53:15.Flagstaff. Wote has had a great year. He must be full of
:53:16. > :53:27.confidence. The crowd favourite, the crowd favourite. Centrowictz, he has
:53:28. > :53:40.a great tactical brain. So does Chris O'Hare. In slow, tactical
:53:41. > :53:44.races, Chris will always pace himself well. He has an outside
:53:45. > :53:58.chance, but anything can happen. A high-quality race. -- Centrowitz.
:53:59. > :54:04.Possible medallists all over the place. It is going to be a very good
:54:05. > :54:18.race. Centrowitz unbeaten indoors this year. Showed Nick Willis the
:54:19. > :54:25.way home. He is the man to beat. A little bit of pushing and jostling,
:54:26. > :54:30.as you may expect. Nick Willis straight to the back, and straight
:54:31. > :54:43.to the front, the defending champion, Souleiman. Centrowitz
:54:44. > :54:55.taking close order. Chris O'Hare is happy to watch what goes on for now.
:54:56. > :55:04.I think the man who anticipated this was Nick Willis, he ran a very
:55:05. > :55:07.controlled and smooth 200 metres. Slotting into the place he likes to
:55:08. > :55:11.sit, right there at the back where he can watch what goes on ahead of
:55:12. > :55:17.him and be poised to react. The question now is, is he able to react
:55:18. > :55:28.as quickly as he has in previous years? Talking about Nick Willis, he
:55:29. > :55:36.and Chris O'Hare are well aware of the abilities of Centrowitz and
:55:37. > :55:44.Andrews. When it kicks off, you want to be close. It's OK to run at the
:55:45. > :55:52.back for the first 400, that is what Willis uses his experience for.
:55:53. > :56:00.Chris O'Hare has a very good tactical brain. Some people will be
:56:01. > :56:07.wondering why he is running so wide. But when it is only 1500
:56:08. > :56:12.metres indoors, that bit of extra distance gives you the ability to
:56:13. > :56:17.react and get to the front if somebody does inject a sudden change
:56:18. > :56:34.of pace. The Americans have never won this title. Hoping that
:56:35. > :56:42.Centrowitz and... Andrews is at a terrible position in the back.
:56:43. > :56:54.Souleiman reading. Three laps to go. Chris O'Hare almost takes a tumble.
:56:55. > :57:01.He did well, just had to hurdle someone's back leg. Souleiman is
:57:02. > :57:08.controlling this race. Centrowitz looking very good. Nick Willis now
:57:09. > :57:25.moving wide and getting closer. Two laps to go, Nick Willis moving to
:57:26. > :57:33.the front! Centrowitz reacting. Trying to chase down Nick Willis of
:57:34. > :57:39.New Zealand. 200 metres to go. New Zealand, the USA. The crowd are on
:57:40. > :57:44.their feet in Oregon, hoping that Centrowitz can bring home the gold
:57:45. > :57:49.medal. Willis striking, the two Ethiopians trying to chase. What can
:57:50. > :57:55.Centrowitz do up the last bend? Nick Willis in the front! Here comes
:57:56. > :58:01.Centrowitz! Centrowitz of the USA might just have enough! Centrowitz
:58:02. > :58:09.gets the gold! Nick Willis the bronze. That is a result I don't
:58:10. > :58:21.think many people would have expected. The African contingent,
:58:22. > :58:30.Souleiman and his teammates, left trailing. You have to hand it to
:58:31. > :58:37.Nick Willis, he really had it going. He handed it a little bit too
:58:38. > :58:50.Centrowitz, who was smart enough to follow Willis -- to.
:58:51. > :59:02.A little bit of a smile of relief for Centrowitz. Still such a lot of
:59:03. > :59:09.ground to make up, there. Centrowitz, he could sense that Nick
:59:10. > :59:16.Willis was starting to tire but he realises he was also starting to
:59:17. > :59:24.tire and he had to be aware that Jakub Holusa was coming around.
:59:25. > :59:35.Jakub Holusa might be the 1 to ask the questions. Andrews also closed
:59:36. > :59:42.very, very fast over that last lap. Well, it was typical 1500m running.
:59:43. > :59:53.Jakub Holusa has run a very quick 200 metres but the others faded away
:59:54. > :59:58.in race that was not that week. Centrowitz will not be bothered by
:59:59. > :00:08.the time, he will be happy to have won at the gold medal for the USA.
:00:09. > :00:22.Jakub Holusa happy with the silver and so Nick Willis with the bronze.
:00:23. > :00:35.Long jump. Jeff Henderson in 3rd place. In 2 of the 3rd round. I
:00:36. > :00:42.think he likes that. Speed and height is going to create distance.
:00:43. > :00:52.Look at the height on that, quite incredible. 8.19 his best. Maybe a
:00:53. > :01:02.little space to spare, will hurt him slightly. Daniel Bramble, from Great
:01:03. > :01:07.Britain, having a good competition. The 1st time ever he has gone over 8
:01:08. > :01:19.metres indoors. Has to attack it now. Hit the board well. That is a
:01:20. > :01:26.good jump from Daniel Bramble. He needs a jump in excess of 18 to get
:01:27. > :01:33.into the final round... The 6 round, I should say. His competition is
:01:34. > :01:41.over. We come back to the High jump, getting towards the business
:01:42. > :01:46.and. I thought we were coming across the something special but it is at
:01:47. > :01:56.the end of her evenings jumping. The 400 metres. It will be Natasha
:01:57. > :02:10.Hastings, going for a 10th world medal. Should get it but, of course,
:02:11. > :02:18.things can happen in a relay. But the United States strong favourites.
:02:19. > :02:27.The Jamaican quartet. Perhaps the strongest contenders for the
:02:28. > :02:37.silver. Patricia Hall leads them out and they will be brought home by
:02:38. > :02:51.MacPherson. The Polish quartet. Ptak leading them out. The Nigerian court
:02:52. > :02:58.that, Benjamin and George as well in their 4, part of the Commonwealth
:02:59. > :03:04.Games silver in the relay. Fork Natasha Hastings it should be into
:03:05. > :03:12.the double digits in terms of world championship. Really a class above
:03:13. > :03:22.the rest. You have as well Quanera Hayes stop Marquis Dendy of the US
:03:23. > :03:30.on the Long jump. He had the stage and the attention but wait a bit of
:03:31. > :03:36.a mess of it. Back to the relay. Jamaica, Patricia Hall leading them
:03:37. > :03:43.out. No British quartet. Just a case of not enough wanting to run the
:03:44. > :03:50.indoors with this big year in Rio. Athletes wanting to peak at
:03:51. > :03:58.different times. No British quartet which is a shame because they could
:03:59. > :04:05.challenge for a medal. The they go and the US having great success in
:04:06. > :04:10.Oregon and they should have again as Natasha Hastings takes it into the
:04:11. > :04:20.lead immediately. The Romanian trying to respond. A strong run by
:04:21. > :04:25.the Nigerian on the inside as well stop Patricia Hall just lacking in
:04:26. > :04:34.in 3rd place for Jamaica. Hastings has responsibility here. I was just
:04:35. > :04:40.going to save... Jamaica are the ones to watch but Patricia Hall
:04:41. > :04:51.stumbling, almost handing America the lead. Patricia Hall crashing to
:04:52. > :04:55.the ground as Hastings hands over to Quanera Hayes. She is away and
:04:56. > :05:02.clear. This is going to be a 1 country race. It is indeed. I
:05:03. > :05:08.mentioned things can happen here. Look at that leap she has stop but
:05:09. > :05:15.there is silver and bronze to run for. The Jamaican, Patricia Hall...
:05:16. > :05:24.We might get a chance to have a look at that again. Look at the battle
:05:25. > :05:30.behind the Americans... It is a victory march already... But this is
:05:31. > :05:38.battle between Romania and in Nigeria. A very impressive
:05:39. > :05:49.performance, however, for America. Courtney Okolo taking it now. A bit
:05:50. > :05:55.of a shame that Britain were not in this, I think there was a medal in
:05:56. > :06:01.it for them. But deciding to concentrate on preparations for Rio.
:06:02. > :06:05.The teams get invited to come but America were obviously going to be
:06:06. > :06:08.their full job there are lots of names in this American team that are
:06:09. > :06:19.not familiar but they are running pretty fast. The men are breaking
:06:20. > :06:29.the record indoors. Good running. Poland have now moved into 2nd
:06:30. > :06:34.place. Nigeria there also, and a Romania before America it is a
:06:35. > :06:43.procession. They will go for the championship record, I wonder how
:06:44. > :06:50.close they will get to that. Said by Russia in Budapest in 2008. But it
:06:51. > :06:59.is a stroll towards the gold medal. Look at those 3, Poland, Nigeria...
:07:00. > :07:04.We shall see who will take the silver and bronze bad, or the United
:07:05. > :07:10.States, the gap could then use the grave and the crowd continued to
:07:11. > :07:19.cheer for another gold medal. See how far clear she is. It is going to
:07:20. > :07:26.be gold for the quartet - Natasha Hastings, Pinero Hayes, Courtney
:07:27. > :07:31.Okolo, Ashley Spencer. Poland have taken silver ahead of Romania and
:07:32. > :07:43.Nigeria just fading on that final leg. Here we are. Gold, as we
:07:44. > :07:46.expected. Britain could have taken silver -- Jamaica could have taken
:07:47. > :07:54.silver if they had stayed on their feet. Another gold for the home
:07:55. > :08:03.nation. A very respectable time, indeed. Let's just have a look at
:08:04. > :08:09.this. She is moving out and get caught by the Polish athlete as she
:08:10. > :08:15.moves out. Just catching the heels of Patricia Hall. Nothing she could
:08:16. > :08:23.do about that. Their teammates might be disappointed she did not get
:08:24. > :08:30.straight back up... May be she was hurt, you don't know. It was left
:08:31. > :08:36.for a very relaxed performance of the rest of the American team. This
:08:37. > :08:46.young lady, Ashley Spencer, is a real talent for me. Not sure she is
:08:47. > :08:50.at her best indoors. Very close after that for the minor medals.
:08:51. > :08:56.Every British athlete has their reason for choosing not to compete
:08:57. > :09:03.here, there are bigger targets, there was certainly a medal up for
:09:04. > :09:09.grabs. Not a gold medal, nobody could have challenged that American
:09:10. > :09:19.quartet. The record set by the Russians 12 years ago not broken.
:09:20. > :09:25.Nigeria did fade in the final leg and Jamaica are falling. The
:09:26. > :09:39.defending champion here. From Poland. 199, 3rd time that failure
:09:40. > :09:48.for her. No Russians competing here because of the team are banned, of
:09:49. > :09:59.course. But a bronze medal... A 3rd time effort and the end of fall the
:10:00. > :10:07.competition -- of the competition for Ruth Beitia. Cunning hand, the
:10:08. > :10:14.young American, is taking gold. I wonder if she realises that. Rarely
:10:15. > :10:15.do we see athletes coming to the sport looking so competent,
:10:16. > :10:32.measured. Very impressive indeed. Maybe it's the coming of new talent
:10:33. > :10:39.in Vashti Cunningham. She cleaned this last year. 1 centimetre ahead
:10:40. > :10:49.of Ruth Beitia and no small matter of the world junior record. Such is
:10:50. > :10:56.her talent, tall, Rangie, dynamic. She is sprinting faster, when she
:10:57. > :11:09.does the shoulders are head and that takes into the bad but it is gold
:11:10. > :11:14.for cunning ham. -- into the bar. Kamila Lickwinko takes the bronze
:11:15. > :11:20.but the gold rush for America continues. I was hoping to put a
:11:21. > :11:25.better performance, the performance I trained for. It will come out but
:11:26. > :11:35.maybe not today. I am frustrated and I will think hard about this and try
:11:36. > :11:48.not to make it again. Spencer Adams the 1st down the ramps. It is a
:11:49. > :11:49.little bit like a game show. Jarret Eaton has to love it. The Cote
:11:50. > :12:11.d'Ivoire. The US Virgin Islands. Omar McLeod is going to come down
:12:12. > :12:18.the ramp next, the Jamaican, a big year last year. Not as tall as some
:12:19. > :12:29.of the other hurdlers. Very well suited to this indoor event. He has
:12:30. > :12:35.not looked super hot. Maybe holding back in the semi-final. Paying dairy
:12:36. > :12:41.and doing well to make it through to the final. And the Commonwealth
:12:42. > :12:59.medallist, Shane Brathwaite of Jamaica.
:13:00. > :13:12.Spencer Adams will challenge. And what about this mean he? Is 26,
:13:13. > :13:24.achieved his personal best in qualification. Not a bad place to
:13:25. > :13:39.be, he is on the left -- he is 26. Here is Omar McLeod, no medals yet
:13:40. > :13:53.for Jamaica in these championships. Here is the lineup. The French would
:13:54. > :14:00.dearly love to win another gold medal. They began the championships
:14:01. > :14:09.with a gold medal in the pole vault on Thursday night. They won a gold
:14:10. > :14:22.medal and haven't won anything since. Perhaps they can book and
:14:23. > :14:28.this Championship. -- bookend. France have won a gold medal, but
:14:29. > :14:43.you have to go back to the first ever World Indoor Championships to
:14:44. > :14:54.see them in fine form. This is Eddie Lovitt,, had a good Championship to
:14:55. > :15:08.make it into this final -- Lovett. This is Jarrod Eaton. The tall
:15:09. > :15:16.figure of Martinot-Lagarde. The European Indoor champion. Omar
:15:17. > :15:34.McLeod, run under 13 seconds Le Sommer for the first time. Bascou,
:15:35. > :15:47.7.41 in Berlin. That would be a gold medal winning performance.
:15:48. > :15:52.Braithwaite, Commonwealth bronze medallist outdoors. The final
:15:53. > :16:01.individual event of these World Indoor Championships.
:16:02. > :16:15.Martinot-Lagarde, on his day. Capable of beating anybody. He
:16:16. > :16:20.thought Bascou would be his main contender coming into these
:16:21. > :16:33.championships. But between them, Omar McLeod of Jamaica. The men's 60
:16:34. > :16:47.metre hurdles final. Eaton gets the best start and rises
:16:48. > :16:56.first. McLeod is going to get the gold! Martinot-Lagarde may have just
:16:57. > :17:04.got on the silver, but it is to's first gold at these championships.
:17:05. > :17:12.This is the man who brought his best game right at the time when he
:17:13. > :17:27.needed it most -- Jamaica's first old. -- gold. A superb race, 7.41.
:17:28. > :17:32.Equal to the world lead. We said it would have to be well under 7.5 to
:17:33. > :17:40.win it, and that is what he produced. What a performance. He
:17:41. > :17:49.managed to keep his rhythm together, stay away from the hurdles, making
:17:50. > :17:52.strides between those hurdles. The quality came through, we didn't see
:17:53. > :18:03.too much of it in the semi-final. Eaton had a very good start, Martin
:18:04. > :18:13.-- Martinot-Lagarde had some work to do. Omar McLeod, between the
:18:14. > :18:17.hurdles, very quick feet. That cadence, staying away from the
:18:18. > :18:29.hurdle means he can travel over much better. Great performance. A great
:18:30. > :18:35.talent, 7.41 indoors, he has also shown that he can last the distance
:18:36. > :18:44.outdoors. He is right in there when we look towards Rio. Your stride the
:18:45. > :18:54.length and when you're outdoors. You see people clatter at six, seven and
:18:55. > :19:11.eight. Indoors, he has done extremely well. Kept his rhythm.
:19:12. > :19:19.Martin -- Martinot-Lagarde leaning and leaning. A high-quality field
:19:20. > :19:33.and a high-quality performance to win the gold medal. Not often that
:19:34. > :19:57.Jamaica have to wait for a gold medal at the championships.
:19:58. > :20:04.Huang showcasing this last round, he is one of four athletes who will get
:20:05. > :20:19.a jump in this sixth and final round. Chasing a 26. A big jump.
:20:20. > :20:25.This may well challenge the lead of Dendy. Huang has produced something
:20:26. > :20:41.very special in the last round, drifting off to the left. 8.19 in
:20:42. > :21:00.round three, eight .21, a lifetime best 8.21. A great last round.
:21:01. > :21:13.Their's your first, second and third. Another American gold medal.
:21:14. > :21:23.The final event of the world championships will be the men's four
:21:24. > :21:36.x 400 metre relay. Keen to finish with a gold medal. The United States
:21:37. > :21:52.have taken off, the favourites. Fairly even at the moment. Trying to
:21:53. > :22:09.get into a good position, Belgium. The tall Belgian trying to get a
:22:10. > :22:22.position. Clemens, Calvin Smith Jr the lead going into the second leg.
:22:23. > :22:46.Trinidad trying to hang on. -- Clemons. Calvin Smith has the baton.
:22:47. > :22:53.Cordon coming around the outside. Jamaica still with an opportunity --
:22:54. > :23:11.Gordon. We will see what happens with the handovers. What a close
:23:12. > :23:19.race. A dropped baton! He picks it up, but they are out of the race.
:23:20. > :23:25.Trinidad Tobago trying to keep pace. The United States is moving
:23:26. > :23:33.clear. What a disappointment for Belgium and for the race. Chris
:23:34. > :23:44.Giesting opens up a bit of a lead on the Bahamas. Trying to give Chris
:23:45. > :23:53.Brown something to chase down in the final leg. No challenge from
:23:54. > :24:01.Belgium. The Bahamas will have to try and hold off Trinidad Tobago.
:24:02. > :24:13.The only question is, how quickly can they get there? Through the
:24:14. > :24:25.band, sailing past with that huge lead. -- bend. A long way to go, a
:24:26. > :24:45.handsome victory for the United States. Another gold in Oregon. The
:24:46. > :24:52.Bahamas takes silver with Chris Brown, but a long way clear were the
:24:53. > :25:06.United States. What about Belgium and what happened to them? In the
:25:07. > :25:11.end, the baton was dropped. It was nearly another world record. Two
:25:12. > :25:19.years ago, they did it with a team that didn't look capable. They
:25:20. > :25:25.produce a superfast time here. The Belgians would definitely have been
:25:26. > :25:52.involved in the medal placement. Let's have a look at this. The
:25:53. > :26:05.incoming athlete, he is handing it to his teammate. On the last leg,
:26:06. > :26:22.44.99. It is much easier to run when you are relaxed, you don't have to
:26:23. > :26:38.worry. Norwood, disqualified in his own event for running on the line.
:26:39. > :26:47.What a championships for the USA. Another cracking day for them. It
:26:48. > :26:55.will be the 13th gold medal of these championships for the USA. So close
:26:56. > :27:09.to the world record. A long way clear of the Bahamas and Trinidad

:27:27. > :27:40.here are the winners. -- baton. Here we have the medal tallies. More
:27:41. > :27:46.athletics next Saturday. We have a special programme where I have been
:27:47. > :27:53.granted exclusive access to follow Seb Coe in Monaco. We will get his
:27:54. > :27:58.views on the future and to regain trust and popularity for the sport.
:27:59. > :28:04.After that, the world half marathon championships. Mo Farah will be
:28:05. > :28:11.headlining the British team. That is all from our coverage of the world
