Replay: Day 4 Finals Athletics: World Indoor Championships

(MUSIC PLAYING). That is brilliant! They win the gold medal. Top of the

world, again! Welcome to highlights to the final

days highlights of IAAF World Indoor Championships, in Portland.

There have been fabulous performance is -- performances so far. 3 fall

Great Britain. Isabel Pooley has had to wait until the final day to

compete in the High jump. And on track in the women's 3000m, she has

been in great form and will not want to surrender her title. An exciting

schedule ahead and joining the part of the regular team of Andy, Paula

and Steve. Tony Minichiello is our special guest. The 1st of the 2

semifinals. The 1st 2 will go through.

The 1st semi-final. Pascal Martinot-Lagarde the favourite to go

through. Eddie Lovett next to him and Jarrod Eaton to his left. --

Jarret Eaton. Eaton of the United States doing well here. 753 and that

is just outside the season test for the American. Those 2 had a little

bit of air between themselves and the others. This is what may be

forced to need to get into. Eaton did not look as comfortable. It does

look this time as if the blocks are further apart. 7 steps to the 1st

hurdles for the 2 tall guys whereas normally it would be 8 steps. That

is why they are probably cramping up. Braithwaite and Eddie Lovett

taking the 2 spots. Pascal Martinot-Lagarde has done nothing to

suggest he cannot win this but Eaton will make him think about this. 752

is not super fast. Confirmation of the 1st semi-final.

You would have to go back to the Commonwealth game in Delhi in 2010

to find when Laurence Clark last 1 medal. Despite showing so much

potential, injury has played in and stop further medal hopes. After

making a comeback in 2015, he hoped for success in Beijing but sadly it

was not to be. He decided it was time for a change of team, he joined

his new team in Paris. New season, new coach, new start. Is going be

his year? 1 thing Laurence Clark has is that he is a very good

competitor. If you look at McLeod, O'Farrell and Adams, they would be

the favourites. Clarke again with a dip. Another

strong run from Omar McLeod. Another good run from Clarke but probably

not enough to go through as 1 of the qualifiers. Almost a stumble out of

the blocks, Tony Minichiello watching. Finishing strongly? What

you try to do when you come out the blocks, you have to get your knees

together so when you put your 1st foot down, you really want the 2nd

knee through. If you delay at all, when you put the next foot down, you

do not stabilise as well. O'Farrell missing out. Omar McLeod, the

winner. Qualifiers for the final. Pascal

Martinot-Lagarde leading them at. Omar McLeod close. Dimitri Bascou

not looking so good in the semi-final. Just an hour or 2 before

they come back. A bit disappointed. It was not to be. I got a very good

start. Nothing wrong technically. I was ill for ten days before the

championship so maybe I was a bit drained but I felt great today

at... Isabel Pooley, of Great Britain. She did wobble, just a

little bit. That is probably just cold. You have been standing about,

waiting. Just lead singer with the inside arm and that is what takes

across the bar. For me, it should go upwards, followed by hand. The

bronze medallist in the Commonwealth Games.

Familiarising himself with the indoor version, not massively

different. That is a big jump, I think. I think he likes it. 24 years

of age. The lead under threat, here. Britain's athlete yet to jump. He

doesn't like it. That takes the lead. Marquis Dendy, surely not

going to jump with that hat on! If that hat comes off, they measure it

from where the hat lands. Good point. Possibly the preevent

favourite, the world leader with 841. Dig stride, turning into more

sprinting strides. The deep and dive, Tony, very evident in Marquis

Dendy. Seeking redemption after the world championships in Beijing. Came

in expecting to do well, last summer, but did not. If you notice,

from head-on, he moves laterally to the side. Isabel Pooley, 2 fouls at

this new height. 3rd time, has to go clear. She gave it a rattle. Well,

she can breathe again. Sigh of relief. Competition continues but

only just. You cannot knock it much harder than that without it coming

off. We draw nearer to the 3 thousand metres.

Lee in manual goes in the final. Quite an even contest. I do know if

I can pick a winner. If you're looking for the winner? The way that

he has raised, he is the man to beat. There was a lot of fire in him

when he finished his hit going down. He will be the man to watch. It

depends how much damage was done to get back into contention. Ryan

Hill, so much local hope and expectation but he has to be

realistic, he is in the top 5. Knee surgery for Taliban de COO -- Caleb

Ndiku. The youngest man in the line-up, 18 years old. What a

talent. The final of the men's 3000m. Lee in manual looking to find

himself a decent position. It will get tougher as well. We wonder what

the pace will be. Someone with a good kick finish.

Showing a bit of inexperience in the way he ran the heat but also wanted

to show the shape he was in. Canada and Ryan Hill on his shoulder. They

worked together day in day out. Making sure this is a recent pack.

They wanted to be keen to get it moving a little bit. A lot of guys

sitting in their who will not fancy their kicks against the likes of

Yomif Kajelcha and Caleb Ndiku. We might see some pace snap a little

bit. The pace is starting to lift a

little bit. There was a struggle in the heat when he tried to find

himself a better position. You can see the change in third position

there. He had some problems with his Achilles last year. But he knows

this track so well from the US championships here last weekend.

Very recent success on this track. We can see the pace creeping up,

relatively comfortable at the moment. 2.18 three that 800 metres

is relatively slow. Seems to be winding up a little bit, you can see

how much the field has strung out behind that. Moving wide down the

straight to try and move up, nobody really keen to do anything about

taking the lead from Ndiku at the moment. Making sure that any move

that Ndiku makes, everyone else knows about it. Ryan Hill, a few

paces back from the Kenyans. Some strong representation from Kenya. He

has a tremendous kick. Looking very comfortable in his heat. Robinson,

just in front of we -- Lee Emanual. People's nerves starting to get on

edge. This is where the likes of Brad -- Brett Robinson and Lee

Emanual might try to make a move. Ryan Hill sitting in second place,

where he has for most of the race. Still fairly bunched, at the back is

Ndiku, first to strike. It was a quick move that he made. He got

himself in a little bit of trouble as he tried to move out and around.

But he stayed at the back. Didn't really want to relinquish the lead.

Bashir just has a little shove in the back of Ndiku. The pace is

lifting. Lee Emanual is just getting a bit stretched. Robinson begins to

lose a bit of touch. Rainhill has moved through and put

himself in a very good position. The pace is lifting. Ndiku, trying to

remain in contact with the top four. Taking turns in the front. We might

see him tested in a way we haven't yet this year. Kejelcha Kejelcha,

the 18-year-old, out in front. Can he hang on? Kejelcha looking to see

who is with him. A stumble, catching himself on the outside. It is

between Kejelcha and Choge. The Kenyan has to settle for bronze, it

was a brave run for the youngster. He still had that drives in the

finish -- drive. A gold medal for Kejelcha of Ethiopia. It might have

looked boring race early on, but it wasn't the finish. -- it wasn't at

the finish. The Cats this last lap in the last time, still making up

ground -- look at this last lap and the last run. We know that Kejelcha

will be a real danger in Rio. Choge had to settle. It just came down to

the kick he had on that final sprint, we saw it in the heat and we

saw it again in the final. He is only going to get better, at 18

years old. A very impressive silver medal for Ryan Hill. I think that

did just test him a little bit by making it such an assertive pace.

Lee Emanual did not really do anything wrong, he could have pushed

a bit earlier on, but he could not have competed with the likes of this

guy. A very, very good race, started sluggishly but finished with a

flourish. This is a confirmation of the final places.

Looking to keep a clean sheet as she has so far. A perfect start for her.

46 years of age. Double the age of competitor the United States. -- her

competitor from the United States. Have a look at cunning ham, she goes

very quickly from her first checkmark. -- Cunningham. Not a lot

can go wrong with that when it is as committed and tidy as that. The

youngster showing some poor is and composure in the early heights. A

perfect sheet so far. Across to the men's long jump final. This is the

event leader from South Africa. One of only two athletes beyond eight

metres. Looking to improve on his own mark. And he may have done. In

the lead with 8.14. The next behind him is 8.05. He likes it, it is

8.18. A national indoor record. The women's 800 metre final. Angie

Wilson, a former world champion. Watch out for the return of the

opponent in lane one. Roesler looked very good in qualifying. Wilson had

a disappointing world indoor Championship a couple of years ago,

knocked out in the heat. Alemo, from Ethiopia, just 18 years old.

Niyonsaba had a great year working with Mike Rowland. It is a

partnership that is already bearing fruit. Niyonsaba likes to go to the

front. What about Wilson? A few years ago, had teammate won the gold

medal. --. Indoors, four laps of the track -- her teammate. You need to

do what Angie Wilson has done, control the field but not go too

quickly. We also saw Angie Wilson in the first round go to the front and

control the race from there, I think she is more likely to do that than

take it out at a suicidal pace. Solid, but not too fast. Nothing

silly. Alemo can't decide what she wants to do. Wilson has two -- to

relinquish the lead. Moved right to the front in a big battle. Still

moving away, she has put in a big surge. Niyonsaba won a medal in this

event in 1989. Going for gold. Angie Wilson looks as though she is spent.

Out in front, Niyonsaba. Maintaining this case. Angie Wilson trying to

lift herself, the crowd are doing their best. Niyonsaba still in

front, now Wilson starts to attack around the bend. Is there enough

time? Niyonsaba hanging on. 2.02. Not superfast, but I think Niyonsaba

just grabbed the race by the neck and Wilson got caught behind.

This is where Francine Niyonsaba does, no, I going to win from the

front. Too much to do in the last 100. The damage was done in the 1st

200 metres. The fastest lap of the race. Ajee Wilson actually did not

believe she had enough left and it was only when she started seeing

Francine Niyonsaba adrift towards the and that got her up from bronze

to silver. Fairly even paced running. You would have thought that

Wilson would have enjoyed that type of race a bit more. It was where she

moved as well, she moved with 500 metres to go. She fell into 2

laps... It was a little bit deceptive. She surged with such

speed may be her coach told to pass on the straight not the turn. The

coach will be delighted with her performance tactically, to win the

gold medal. Wilson will be disappointed with the silver medal.

I am sure. Jed Anderson, he jumped 852 outdoors at last summer --

Henderson. He rather fell apart in Beijing, can he composed himself

here. He is in 3rd place after the 1st round. But we saw an improvement

from Rushwal Samaai. Good competitive effort. Responding to

the leap from Rushwal Samaai. The landing. A tidy jump. He controlled

his speed well. That takes the lead. Marquis Dendy, hit -- he saw his

teammate take the lead. Big moment here from Dendy. On home soil, the

American, Jeff Henderson leaves. Though, is that good on the board?

Difficult to see. Does not really like it, does he? Goodspeed on the

runway. Retains his height. Not a big fan of the deep and dive. A good

jump from Dendy. It takes the lead, 8.26. A good effort from him.

America 1-2 as we stand. Next on the track, the women's 3000 metres

featuring the all conquering Genzebe Dibaba.

Genzebe Dibaba! Genzebe Dibaba gets the gold! Genzebe Dibaba has been

sweeping and gathering the records and beating longer established

marques, indoors and out, and collect in titles but there will be

a bit of a test. Just how to beat Genzebe Dibaba because she can win

in any fashion she chooses. The Polish athlete does not start.

Genzebe Dibaba, no doubt the athlete to win and can anybody beat her? In

answer to your question, do they know how to beat her? They saw it be

done in Beijing at whether they are capable of making her hurt enough in

the middle of the race is another question. Meseret Defar, more a

custom to racing against her older sister then she is against Genzebe

Dibaba. She will be strong but will she have the pace to react to

Genzebe Dibaba? Shannon Rowbury. You expect Genzebe Dibaba and a Meseret

Defar to be challenging for the gold medal but there is a bronze medal to

play for and quite a lot of women to challenge. Shannon Rowbury,

homeground. She is as ready and she will ever before a home final.

Meseret Defar came back with a 15 K race, her 1st race since the end of

2013. Gave birth to her daughter before that. Genzebe Dibaba taking

over the mantle as the leading middle-distance runner of Ethiopian

women athletics. It must have been very interesting for Meseret Defar

watching Genzebe Dibabaposmac cries when she was starting a family. They

will be the women to beat, those 2. A lot of athlete battling until the

final couple of laps. Watch with interest what the pace might be. The

pace not too quick. This will be just a jogging round. We will see

who makes a move to the front. It might be Steph Twell, she started

her career as a 1500m champion. She knows she is a lot stronger in the

middle distances. Sviatlana Kudzelich is another athlete who

will want the pace to pick up. Also Maureen Koster and Shannon Rowbury,

sitting on the inside with Abbey D'Agostino shadowing. Sviatlana

Kudzelich looks like she wanted the pace to lift and did not want to go

to the front but eventually she does. The absent Russian... It would

have been interesting, another race that people would have been

interested in was to see how Sun race that she won in the 1500. --

Hassan there will be some nervous women and some happy women seeing it

go so slow. Certainly somebody surely will react. Sheila Reid

moving up, trailing with Mark Rowland. She will be very accustomed

to racing against the likes of Shana robbery. -- Shannon Rowbury.

A few athletes will be moving to the 5000 target for the Rio Olympics.

Genzebe Dibaba deciding to take control of the race. Tucking in

behind Steph Twell. Everybody suddenly picks up the pace. Putting

herself in good position there. She has got herself in very good

position as Genzebe Dibaba goes to the front and picks up the pace and

all the girls behind had to react and Steph Twell reacted the best. I

was wondering if the championship record might go but because of the

slow 1st few laps it will not. Genzebe Dibaba could have had it if

she wanted. She can even still threaten it if she decides to turn

it on. She has really blown the field away already. Steph Twell in a

very good position, just ahead of a Meseret Defar. Meseret Defar, the

only athlete of calibre to threaten Genzebe Dibaba but Genzebe Dibaba

putting on a bit of an exhibition at the moment. 31.8 2nd 200 metres e.g.

That race after they had been lapping about 38 seconds per lap.

Doing that will do that kind of damage. Steph had herself in very

good position and has reacted and she's holding with it and staying

with it. Meseret Defar happy to stay behind there. But she will have to

make a move is she is to catch up to Genzebe Dibaba.

The gap beginning to narrow just a little bit and Meseret Defar hanging

off on the back of Steph Twell and she will be making a move soon.

Looking up at the screen to see it where she is placed. The former

Ethiopian is there as well. I sought Shannon Rowbury, she did not react

very quickly. She is looking as though she is a racing more for the

silver medal and not concerned so much with what Genzebe Dibaba is

doing. Beginning to lose a bit of contact. Maureen Koster the team

behind the athlete as well. Meseret Defar, with all the experience.

Genzebe Dibaba a long way clear and the gold medal surely is going to be

hers. It is Meseret Defar in 2nd place at the moment. Steph Twell

just beginning to lose touch to Maureen Koster and that group

beginning to battle for the bronze medal. The 2 Ethiopians out in front

and clear. It is almost like you are slowing down but 67 is a very quick

pace. These women are really struggling to make any inroads. It

looks like a battle for the bronze medal between Shannon Rowbury and

Maureen Koster. A few paces back to Maureen Koster but Genzebe Dibaba

with 300 metres to go, a long way clear of Meseret Defar and she is

striding towards another gold medal. The bell goes. Another majestic

performance from Genzebe Dibaba. She is going to lap the back of the

field. Shana robbery perhaps beginning to close in. Genzebe

Dibaba, all the way around. Striding towards another gold medal. What an

athlete this woman is! It will be gold in Portland Fort Genzebe

Dibaba. Silver for Meseret Defar and Shana robbery taking the bronze

ahead of Maureen Koster. -- Shannon Rowbury.

She had an injection of pace and just decided to take them on. There

is controlling the field, and there is playing with

is controlling the field, and there is playing with the field. She was

so far ahead of the rest of the girls that she was able to do that,

putting that 31 second 200 metres in the middle of the race. She had so

much of a cushion. It was a 32 second 200 metres. It finished with

a 2.47 and a 2.44. I don't think she is even that tired, either. This is

the final of the women's event. Round three of the man's long jump.

-- men's. A big jump, beyond eight metres. 7.82, pretty tidy. It is

interesting, the Chinese now have a new carriage waiting for them who is

working with their jumpers and we are seeing a lot of improvement --

new coach working for them. Very proficient jumping. Huang looks like

he has improved his situation. The personal best, 8.19. Daniel Bramble

in eighth place. Will he make it through to the second half of the

competition? A big jump! Great effort from him and! Made a big

break through last year. Jumping over eight metres on a few

occasions. Gain some experience competing in Beijing last summer. --

gained. Looks as though he has improved on his second-round effort.

A great jump, moving up into fifth. A superb job, not as quick on the

runway but gets Fat -- jump -- gets far. This should do it. The question

was what she would do when it came to major championships, but I think

she has entered that. So far, no failures. In first place, dominating

the women's final. Brilliant clearance in first place. Lapierre,

no stranger to a major Championship. Got a silver medal last summer.

Lapierre, round three. A big effort from him. 7.78 in the second round.

We saw Daniel Bramble move up into fifth. Lapierre had an efficient use

of force, almost perfect on the board. Very tidy. 8.25, a new

Australian indoor record. In second place behind Dendy.

Second attempt, that's better. We saw Cunningham go over on her first

attempt, the rest of the athletes have their second attempts. She

joins Cunningham. Second place. Beitia, 46 years of age. Double the

age of Cunningham. Still incredibly capable, she jumped at 1.98. But she

is carrying a foul at this height. In third place at the moment. Second

attempt for Beitia. That's better. A great jump from Ruth Beitia! Keeps

her hopes alive. The little when Ian has had to failures, it needs is to

stay in the competition -- The Lithuanian has had two failures.

The route to rear is a long one. Watch Mo Farah on Saturday on BBC

One -- the road to Rio. Mo Farah might be taking a special interest

in the next event on the track, the men's 1500 metre final.

Does Nick Willis still have the speed? He has been training in

Flagstaff. Wote has had a great year. He must be full of

confidence. The crowd favourite, the crowd favourite. Centrowictz, he has

a great tactical brain. So does Chris O'Hare. In slow, tactical

races, Chris will always pace himself well. He has an outside

chance, but anything can happen. A high-quality race. -- Centrowitz.

Possible medallists all over the place. It is going to be a very good

race. Centrowitz unbeaten indoors this year. Showed Nick Willis the

way home. He is the man to beat. A little bit of pushing and jostling,

as you may expect. Nick Willis straight to the back, and straight

to the front, the defending champion, Souleiman. Centrowitz

taking close order. Chris O'Hare is happy to watch what goes on for now.

I think the man who anticipated this was Nick Willis, he ran a very

controlled and smooth 200 metres. Slotting into the place he likes to

sit, right there at the back where he can watch what goes on ahead of

him and be poised to react. The question now is, is he able to react

as quickly as he has in previous years? Talking about Nick Willis, he

and Chris O'Hare are well aware of the abilities of Centrowitz and

Andrews. When it kicks off, you want to be close. It's OK to run at the

back for the first 400, that is what Willis uses his experience for.

Chris O'Hare has a very good tactical brain. Some people will be

wondering why he is running so wide. But when it is only 1500

metres indoors, that bit of extra distance gives you the ability to

react and get to the front if somebody does inject a sudden change

of pace. The Americans have never won this title. Hoping that

Centrowitz and... Andrews is at a terrible position in the back.

Souleiman reading. Three laps to go. Chris O'Hare almost takes a tumble.

He did well, just had to hurdle someone's back leg. Souleiman is

controlling this race. Centrowitz looking very good. Nick Willis now

moving wide and getting closer. Two laps to go, Nick Willis moving to

the front! Centrowitz reacting. Trying to chase down Nick Willis of

New Zealand. 200 metres to go. New Zealand, the USA. The crowd are on

their feet in Oregon, hoping that Centrowitz can bring home the gold

medal. Willis striking, the two Ethiopians trying to chase. What can

Centrowitz do up the last bend? Nick Willis in the front! Here comes

Centrowitz! Centrowitz of the USA might just have enough! Centrowitz

gets the gold! Nick Willis the bronze. That is a result I don't

think many people would have expected. The African contingent,

Souleiman and his teammates, left trailing. You have to hand it to

Nick Willis, he really had it going. He handed it a little bit too

Centrowitz, who was smart enough to follow Willis -- to.

A little bit of a smile of relief for Centrowitz. Still such a lot of

ground to make up, there. Centrowitz, he could sense that Nick

Willis was starting to tire but he realises he was also starting to

tire and he had to be aware that Jakub Holusa was coming around.

Jakub Holusa might be the 1 to ask the questions. Andrews also closed

very, very fast over that last lap. Well, it was typical 1500m running.

Jakub Holusa has run a very quick 200 metres but the others faded away

in race that was not that week. Centrowitz will not be bothered by

the time, he will be happy to have won at the gold medal for the USA.

Jakub Holusa happy with the silver and so Nick Willis with the bronze.

Long jump. Jeff Henderson in 3rd place. In 2 of the 3rd round. I

think he likes that. Speed and height is going to create distance.

Look at the height on that, quite incredible. 8.19 his best. Maybe a

little space to spare, will hurt him slightly. Daniel Bramble, from Great

Britain, having a good competition. The 1st time ever he has gone over 8

metres indoors. Has to attack it now. Hit the board well. That is a

good jump from Daniel Bramble. He needs a jump in excess of 18 to get

into the final round... The 6 round, I should say. His competition is

over. We come back to the High jump, getting towards the business

and. I thought we were coming across the something special but it is at

the end of her evenings jumping. The 400 metres. It will be Natasha

Hastings, going for a 10th world medal. Should get it but, of course,

things can happen in a relay. But the United States strong favourites.

The Jamaican quartet. Perhaps the strongest contenders for the

silver. Patricia Hall leads them out and they will be brought home by

MacPherson. The Polish quartet. Ptak leading them out. The Nigerian court

that, Benjamin and George as well in their 4, part of the Commonwealth

Games silver in the relay. Fork Natasha Hastings it should be into

the double digits in terms of world championship. Really a class above

the rest. You have as well Quanera Hayes stop Marquis Dendy of the US

on the Long jump. He had the stage and the attention but wait a bit of

a mess of it. Back to the relay. Jamaica, Patricia Hall leading them

out. No British quartet. Just a case of not enough wanting to run the

indoors with this big year in Rio. Athletes wanting to peak at

different times. No British quartet which is a shame because they could

challenge for a medal. The they go and the US having great success in

Oregon and they should have again as Natasha Hastings takes it into the

lead immediately. The Romanian trying to respond. A strong run by

the Nigerian on the inside as well stop Patricia Hall just lacking in

in 3rd place for Jamaica. Hastings has responsibility here. I was just

going to save... Jamaica are the ones to watch but Patricia Hall

stumbling, almost handing America the lead. Patricia Hall crashing to

the ground as Hastings hands over to Quanera Hayes. She is away and

clear. This is going to be a 1 country race. It is indeed. I

mentioned things can happen here. Look at that leap she has stop but

there is silver and bronze to run for. The Jamaican, Patricia Hall...

We might get a chance to have a look at that again. Look at the battle

behind the Americans... It is a victory march already... But this is

battle between Romania and in Nigeria. A very impressive

performance, however, for America. Courtney Okolo taking it now. A bit

of a shame that Britain were not in this, I think there was a medal in

it for them. But deciding to concentrate on preparations for Rio.

The teams get invited to come but America were obviously going to be

their full job there are lots of names in this American team that are

not familiar but they are running pretty fast. The men are breaking

the record indoors. Good running. Poland have now moved into 2nd

place. Nigeria there also, and a Romania before America it is a

procession. They will go for the championship record, I wonder how

close they will get to that. Said by Russia in Budapest in 2008. But it

is a stroll towards the gold medal. Look at those 3, Poland, Nigeria...

We shall see who will take the silver and bronze bad, or the United

States, the gap could then use the grave and the crowd continued to

cheer for another gold medal. See how far clear she is. It is going to

be gold for the quartet - Natasha Hastings, Pinero Hayes, Courtney

Okolo, Ashley Spencer. Poland have taken silver ahead of Romania and

Nigeria just fading on that final leg. Here we are. Gold, as we

expected. Britain could have taken silver -- Jamaica could have taken

silver if they had stayed on their feet. Another gold for the home

nation. A very respectable time, indeed. Let's just have a look at

this. She is moving out and get caught by the Polish athlete as she

moves out. Just catching the heels of Patricia Hall. Nothing she could

do about that. Their teammates might be disappointed she did not get

straight back up... May be she was hurt, you don't know. It was left

for a very relaxed performance of the rest of the American team. This

young lady, Ashley Spencer, is a real talent for me. Not sure she is

at her best indoors. Very close after that for the minor medals.

Every British athlete has their reason for choosing not to compete

here, there are bigger targets, there was certainly a medal up for

grabs. Not a gold medal, nobody could have challenged that American

quartet. The record set by the Russians 12 years ago not broken.

Nigeria did fade in the final leg and Jamaica are falling. The

defending champion here. From Poland. 199, 3rd time that failure

for her. No Russians competing here because of the team are banned, of

course. But a bronze medal... A 3rd time effort and the end of fall the

competition -- of the competition for Ruth Beitia. Cunning hand, the

young American, is taking gold. I wonder if she realises that. Rarely

do we see athletes coming to the sport looking so competent,

measured. Very impressive indeed. Maybe it's the coming of new talent

in Vashti Cunningham. She cleaned this last year. 1 centimetre ahead

of Ruth Beitia and no small matter of the world junior record. Such is

her talent, tall, Rangie, dynamic. She is sprinting faster, when she

does the shoulders are head and that takes into the bad but it is gold

for cunning ham. -- into the bar. Kamila Lickwinko takes the bronze

but the gold rush for America continues. I was hoping to put a

better performance, the performance I trained for. It will come out but

maybe not today. I am frustrated and I will think hard about this and try

not to make it again. Spencer Adams the 1st down the ramps. It is a

little bit like a game show. Jarret Eaton has to love it. The Cote

d'Ivoire. The US Virgin Islands. Omar McLeod is going to come down

the ramp next, the Jamaican, a big year last year. Not as tall as some

of the other hurdlers. Very well suited to this indoor event. He has

not looked super hot. Maybe holding back in the semi-final. Paying dairy

and doing well to make it through to the final. And the Commonwealth

medallist, Shane Brathwaite of Jamaica.

Spencer Adams will challenge. And what about this mean he? Is 26,

achieved his personal best in qualification. Not a bad place to

be, he is on the left -- he is 26. Here is Omar McLeod, no medals yet

for Jamaica in these championships. Here is the lineup. The French would

dearly love to win another gold medal. They began the championships

with a gold medal in the pole vault on Thursday night. They won a gold

medal and haven't won anything since. Perhaps they can book and

this Championship. -- bookend. France have won a gold medal, but

you have to go back to the first ever World Indoor Championships to

see them in fine form. This is Eddie Lovitt,, had a good Championship to

make it into this final -- Lovett. This is Jarrod Eaton. The tall

figure of Martinot-Lagarde. The European Indoor champion. Omar

McLeod, run under 13 seconds Le Sommer for the first time. Bascou,

7.41 in Berlin. That would be a gold medal winning performance.

Braithwaite, Commonwealth bronze medallist outdoors. The final

individual event of these World Indoor Championships.

Martinot-Lagarde, on his day. Capable of beating anybody. He

thought Bascou would be his main contender coming into these

championships. But between them, Omar McLeod of Jamaica. The men's 60

metre hurdles final. Eaton gets the best start and rises

first. McLeod is going to get the gold! Martinot-Lagarde may have just

got on the silver, but it is to's first gold at these championships.

This is the man who brought his best game right at the time when he

needed it most -- Jamaica's first old. -- gold. A superb race, 7.41.

Equal to the world lead. We said it would have to be well under 7.5 to

win it, and that is what he produced. What a performance. He

managed to keep his rhythm together, stay away from the hurdles, making

strides between those hurdles. The quality came through, we didn't see

too much of it in the semi-final. Eaton had a very good start, Martin

-- Martinot-Lagarde had some work to do. Omar McLeod, between the

hurdles, very quick feet. That cadence, staying away from the

hurdle means he can travel over much better. Great performance. A great

talent, 7.41 indoors, he has also shown that he can last the distance

outdoors. He is right in there when we look towards Rio. Your stride the

length and when you're outdoors. You see people clatter at six, seven and

eight. Indoors, he has done extremely well. Kept his rhythm.

Martin -- Martinot-Lagarde leaning and leaning. A high-quality field

and a high-quality performance to win the gold medal. Not often that

Jamaica have to wait for a gold medal at the championships.

Huang showcasing this last round, he is one of four athletes who will get

a jump in this sixth and final round. Chasing a 26. A big jump.

This may well challenge the lead of Dendy. Huang has produced something

very special in the last round, drifting off to the left. 8.19 in

round three, eight .21, a lifetime best 8.21. A great last round.

Their's your first, second and third. Another American gold medal.

The final event of the world championships will be the men's four

x 400 metre relay. Keen to finish with a gold medal. The United States

have taken off, the favourites. Fairly even at the moment. Trying to

get into a good position, Belgium. The tall Belgian trying to get a

position. Clemens, Calvin Smith Jr the lead going into the second leg.

Trinidad trying to hang on. -- Clemons. Calvin Smith has the baton.

Cordon coming around the outside. Jamaica still with an opportunity --

Gordon. We will see what happens with the handovers. What a close

race. A dropped baton! He picks it up, but they are out of the race.

Trinidad Tobago trying to keep pace. The United States is moving

clear. What a disappointment for Belgium and for the race. Chris

Giesting opens up a bit of a lead on the Bahamas. Trying to give Chris

Brown something to chase down in the final leg. No challenge from

Belgium. The Bahamas will have to try and hold off Trinidad Tobago.

The only question is, how quickly can they get there? Through the

band, sailing past with that huge lead. -- bend. A long way to go, a

handsome victory for the United States. Another gold in Oregon. The

Bahamas takes silver with Chris Brown, but a long way clear were the

United States. What about Belgium and what happened to them? In the

end, the baton was dropped. It was nearly another world record. Two

years ago, they did it with a team that didn't look capable. They

produce a superfast time here. The Belgians would definitely have been

involved in the medal placement. Let's have a look at this. The

incoming athlete, he is handing it to his teammate. On the last leg,

44.99. It is much easier to run when you are relaxed, you don't have to

worry. Norwood, disqualified in his own event for running on the line.

What a championships for the USA. Another cracking day for them. It

will be the 13th gold medal of these championships for the USA. So close

to the world record. A long way clear of the Bahamas and Trinidad

Tobago. We were very sorry to see the Belgians drop the Batten. But

here are the winners. -- baton. Here we have the medal tallies. More

athletics next Saturday. We have a special programme where I have been

granted exclusive access to follow Seb Coe in Monaco. We will get his

views on the future and to regain trust and popularity for the sport.

After that, the world half marathon championships. Mo Farah will be

headlining the British team. That is all from our coverage of the world

athletics have your ships. -- World Athletics Championships. The Eatons

are a couple we will be following in the lead up to Rio. Goodbye for now.
