:01:39. > :01:46.Des two of the Olympic trials. -- day. Some athletes left here last

:01:46. > :01:56.night job done, all the spell departed. The ashes of their

:01:56. > :01:56.

:01:56. > :02:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:02:55. > :03:01.Olympic dreams lying scattered. Good afternoon from Birmingham.

:03:01. > :03:08.Less than three hours to kick-off. Before that, some fantastic

:03:08. > :03:13.athletics. Denise and Colin are ear mack. So much at stake. Denise and

:03:13. > :03:17.I left here last night and as we were walking towards the exit gate,

:03:17. > :03:23.we saw back row and a well-known athlete who missed the boat

:03:23. > :03:29.yesterday. She is distraught. That is the reality of Sport and this

:03:29. > :03:35.day. That those four years of hard work can go just like that? Just

:03:36. > :03:39.like that. It was devastating to watch. Dreams were broken yesterday.

:03:39. > :03:44.It was heartbreaking to see an athlete working so hard, left in

:03:44. > :03:49.tatters. You feel for them. Nobody wants to be watching the Olympic

:03:49. > :03:57.Games on the television, especially when you have committed so much of

:03:57. > :04:01.your life. Devastating. We felt sorry for her parents as well. The

:04:01. > :04:10.man who made the papers this morning was Dwain Chambers. But he

:04:10. > :04:18.did not get the shed, even though he the won the one and it metres.

:04:18. > :04:25.The powerhouse in this event belongs to France. Against that

:04:25. > :04:34.type of competition he would pull through to a fast time, an

:04:34. > :04:41.opportunity to go two Stratford. Coverage of the European

:04:41. > :04:48.Championships on Wednesday. Between now and then... Do not forget,

:04:48. > :04:58.Wimbledon starts tomorrow as well. We have had action here since 20

:04:58. > :05:01.

:05:01. > :05:06.the opportunity to watch Jackson in the five kilometre walk. The

:05:06. > :05:09.Middlesbrough and Cleveland athlete dominated the opposition. She

:05:09. > :05:16.laughed everybody else in the competition and won by more than

:05:16. > :05:26.two minutes. Her 5th national title. We should see her in the 20

:05:26. > :05:26.

:05:26. > :05:35.kilometre walk in London. In the men's event, was worth and Alex

:05:35. > :05:40.Wright dominated. The five kilometre or competition, a non

:05:40. > :05:44.standard event in the stadium setting, normally out on the road,

:05:44. > :05:51.but it was the title for Alex Wright that was important. This was

:05:51. > :06:01.the men's hammer. Alex Smith successfully defended his title. He

:06:01. > :06:06.

:06:06. > :06:14.went over the 'A' qualifying standard. 74.79 in the final round.

:06:14. > :06:22.It was the 10th successive shot put title for Carl Myerscough. He will

:06:23. > :06:28.have to wait. He competes in the discus later in which he has the

:06:28. > :06:36.'A' qualifying standard. In the javelin, Goldie Sayers had very

:06:36. > :06:44.little competition. A seasoned international performer. Her best

:06:44. > :06:54.throw came in the 4th round. 58 metres and 45. Safely in the

:06:54. > :07:01.

:07:01. > :07:07.track. The women's 400 metres hurdles. A real duel between Eilidh

:07:07. > :07:13.Child and Perri Shakes-Drayton. am looking forward to it. It is

:07:13. > :07:20.going to be exciting. Everybody has to come top two to be even

:07:20. > :07:26.considered. I am lucky enough that I have the qualification time. It

:07:26. > :07:32.will be a good battle. I am hoping to finish top two. This year,

:07:32. > :07:36.nobody has done anything outrageous in my event. Everybody steps up

:07:36. > :07:43.there Damien the Olympics. We have the Jamaicans, the Americans, we

:07:43. > :07:49.have got Russian girls. It is going to be heated. They are the wants to

:07:49. > :07:57.look out for. The business about qualification can sometimes be

:07:57. > :08:00.complicated. If you finish in the top two and you have the 'A'

:08:00. > :08:05.qualifying standard, you are guaranteed a place in London. The

:08:05. > :08:12.rest of the time it is down to the discretion of the selectors. You

:08:12. > :08:22.want to be in the top two. Time for the action.

:08:22. > :08:49.

:08:49. > :08:58.Here is the start list for this to great champion last year. -- 23.

:08:58. > :09:04.Three-times the world champion. Next, Nisha Desai. 58.79 seconds

:09:04. > :09:14.her personal best this year. Eilidh Child, Britain's number one this

:09:14. > :09:14.

:09:14. > :09:21.year. The Scottish record holder. Big cheers for the Scott. Meghan

:09:21. > :09:31.Beesley, the British No. 3. European Under 23 bronze-medallist

:09:31. > :09:33.

:09:33. > :09:42.at this event. Perri Shakes-Drayton. Superbly talented athlete. She is

:09:42. > :09:51.not in 100% shape this year yet. Ese Okoro, European junior finalist

:09:51. > :10:01.in 2007. Now studies in America. 21 years old. Samantha Coleby,

:10:01. > :10:07.

:10:07. > :10:13.Newcastle University and runs for Durham. Hayley McLean, Commonwealth

:10:13. > :10:21.Youth silver-medallist. 17 years old. All eyes will be on lanes 3

:10:21. > :10:27.and 5. Eilidh Child has run very well this year. She has won a

:10:27. > :10:36.couple of good events in Europe. She has got a very talented athlete

:10:36. > :10:46.two lanes outside her, Perri Shakes-Drayton. She has not got the

:10:46. > :10:57.

:10:57. > :11:07.Child has gone off quickly. So as Meghan Beesley. Beesley has closed

:11:07. > :11:08.

:11:08. > :11:14.down Perri Shakes-Drayton. Shakes- Drayton getting into her stride.

:11:14. > :11:21.Child is already closing down Beesley at the halfway point. Child

:11:21. > :11:25.of just in the lead. Perri Shakes- Drayton has been closed right down.

:11:25. > :11:32.They are coming into the home straight. The Scot will be

:11:32. > :11:35.comfortably in the lead. It looks as though at this stage Eilidh

:11:35. > :11:43.Child and Perri Shakes-Drayton are both on their way to the Olympic

:11:43. > :11:51.Games. Perri Shakes-Drayton finishing strongly. Child in the

:11:51. > :12:00.second place. A couple of tenths of a second outside of her season's

:12:00. > :12:09.best. A very wide smile indeed. An athlete who has not been running

:12:09. > :12:11.particularly well at this year. She looked very tired in the semi-final

:12:11. > :12:20.yesterday. A mistake by Eilidh Child meant that Perri Shakes-

:12:20. > :12:25.Drayton raced through and took a chance. I think you're spot on.

:12:25. > :12:31.Child had run a really good race until that point. Perri Shakes-

:12:31. > :12:36.Drayton was very slowly away. Was moving better here. She is good in

:12:36. > :12:46.the home straight. It looked here as though Eilidh Child still had

:12:46. > :12:47.

:12:47. > :12:51.the race run. She loses all on momentum on the last hurdle. Perri

:12:51. > :12:55.Shakes-Drayton hangs on at the end. A good performance from the two of

:12:55. > :13:00.them. Eilidh Child in great form this year. I am sure she thought

:13:00. > :13:07.she was going to win this race. Shakes-Drayton has been struggling

:13:07. > :13:14.a little bit by her very high standards. The two of them secure

:13:14. > :13:19.the spot. That is what their primary job was. It looks as though

:13:19. > :13:26.they can make room in their wardrobes further Olympic places.

:13:26. > :13:36.Child will be kicking herself. She just Stoddart on the last hurdle.

:13:36. > :13:39.

:13:39. > :13:47.That makes a huge difference to the was having problems and she

:13:47. > :13:54.sprinted through over the last 10 to 15 metres. Good effort. Thank

:13:54. > :14:04.you very much indeed, she says. A good result for the youngster. She

:14:04. > :14:08.wins the title again. Meghan Beesley was in third. Good effort.

:14:08. > :14:15.Beesley was in third. Good effort. Beesley was in third. Good effort.

:14:15. > :14:24.The two protagonists are with Phil. Two more confirmed Olympians. Your

:14:24. > :14:28.reaction? Very happy. The first question everybody asks is, are you

:14:28. > :14:38.going to be on the team for the Olympics? I am going to be on the

:14:38. > :14:42.

:14:42. > :14:48.May be the last hurdle cost you? was annoying. You have to get them

:14:48. > :14:57.all right. Top two was what I was keeping to do, so I am happy.

:14:57. > :15:01.does your season mean to so far? is not only the Olympics, it is in

:15:01. > :15:05.London, and you do not want to be sitting at home. The you are

:15:05. > :15:13.creating history being part of the team. Yes, and hopefully I will

:15:14. > :15:23.team. Yes, and hopefully I will have more titles to go. Well done.

:15:24. > :15:25.

:15:25. > :15:32.An exciting women's long jump in prospect. Jessica Ennis. Lorraine

:15:32. > :15:42.Ugen, under 23 champion. She opened up with a foul, what can she do?

:15:42. > :15:43.

:15:43. > :15:51.Look at this. The blue line is the leader of Shara Proctor. We have

:15:51. > :15:56.two athletes with the A standard, Shara Proctor and also Abigail

:15:56. > :16:03.Irozuru. They need to go about six metres and 75, which is the A

:16:03. > :16:09.standard. 6.54 is the personal best of Lorraine Ugen. I think that has

:16:09. > :16:19.gone way over that. She has a nervous wait. She knows it is a

:16:19. > :16:21.

:16:21. > :16:27.roundabout that A standard distance. Nervous moments. It is six metres

:16:27. > :16:34.and 74. A massive personal best but one centimetre short of the A

:16:34. > :16:40.standard. Shara Proctor was in the lead with six metres and 70. I do

:16:40. > :16:48.not think she expected Lorraine Ugen to go off that far, and she

:16:48. > :16:52.can respond. That is a big jump from the British No 1. Bronze medal

:16:52. > :17:02.indoors at the World at six metres and 89. Getting agonisingly close

:17:02. > :17:05.

:17:05. > :17:14.to the British record of six metres and 90. When Shara Proctor has

:17:14. > :17:20.rounded into form, she really is in contention for a medal in London.

:17:20. > :17:27.Coached by the world champion in the triple jump. Back into first

:17:27. > :17:34.place for Shara Proctor. Earlier, we saw the men's high jump

:17:34. > :17:42.with Robbie Grabarz's first attempt. Very easily he goes. Robbie Grabarz

:17:42. > :17:52.in great form this season. Indoors, and outdoors in New York. Equal

:17:52. > :17:52.

:17:52. > :18:02.world number one, he has slipped to number two. Like Shara Proctor,

:18:02. > :18:08.

:18:08. > :18:14.putting himself into medal contender category.

:18:14. > :18:24.Samson Oni. His third and final attempt. He also does have an A

:18:24. > :18:25.

:18:25. > :18:35.standard. He could not make it to metres and 28. He will rely on the

:18:35. > :18:39.

:18:39. > :18:44.selectors discretion if he is to go to London.

:18:44. > :18:50.The third round of the women's long jump. Six metres and 85 for Shara

:18:51. > :18:58.Proctor. Lorraine Ugen agonisingly short of the A standard. This young

:18:58. > :19:05.lady, she does have the A standard. It was a huge surprise she went

:19:05. > :19:11.from six metres and 44 to six metres 80 recently. She is

:19:11. > :19:17.struggling just a little bit here. Six metres and 40 in the second

:19:17. > :19:23.round. I do not think that is much better. But she does have the all-

:19:23. > :19:33.important A standard. It could be heartbreak for Lorraine Ugen if she

:19:33. > :19:35.

:19:35. > :19:39.was not to go any further. She is not selected for the Europeans.

:19:39. > :19:45.And so to one of the most eagerly and anticipated races of the

:19:45. > :19:52.weekend. You can see the athletes getting ready behind me. This is a

:19:53. > :19:58.race, pure and simple. The men's 400 metres. Four Britons

:19:58. > :20:02.have the A standard already. Martyn Rooney, the fastest this year going

:20:02. > :20:08.under 45 seconds in his last three races. A regular in the relay,

:20:09. > :20:13.Conrad Williams is looking for individual glory. Nigel Levine, UK

:20:13. > :20:19.indoor champion and reigning European Under 23 champion. Luke

:20:19. > :20:23.Lennon Ford, 5th in last year's finals and last year's under 23

:20:23. > :20:31.bronze-medallist. It is essentially a four way run-off for those

:20:31. > :20:41.automatic places. The start list for you. Luke

:20:41. > :20:43.

:20:43. > :20:53.Lennon-Ford did very well in qualification. Jarryd Dunn is the

:20:53. > :20:53.

:20:53. > :21:01.surprise entrant into this final. Qualification was not that easy,

:21:01. > :21:07.but Lennon Ford made work of it, and it will be difficult for him in

:21:07. > :21:17.the first lane. Richard Buck got a new personal best this year. He

:21:17. > :21:19.

:21:19. > :21:27.will have to knock more fat. -- off the fact. Robert Tobin was the

:21:27. > :21:37.fastest of the qualifiers, looking good for the final. Nigel Levine,

:21:37. > :21:38.

:21:38. > :21:43.European Under 23 champion last year. Conrad Williams, 30 years of

:21:43. > :21:53.age now, it is hard to believe. What a time to run your personal

:21:53. > :22:02.best, in Olympic year. Consistently under 45 seconds, but only just,

:22:02. > :22:06.not much room for error for Martyn Rooney, Britain's number one. The

:22:06. > :22:16.English junior champion last year, Jarryd Dunn, he ran brilliantly to

:22:16. > :22:21.

:22:21. > :22:26.qualify. There are really places at stake

:22:27. > :22:33.here, as well. British 400 metres running is looking very good at the

:22:33. > :22:39.moment for the men. But who will get the individual spot here? Only

:22:39. > :22:44.the top two will be guaranteed with the current A standard. Martyn

:22:44. > :22:48.Rooney, Nigel Levine, Conrad Williams and Luke Lennon-Ford in

:22:48. > :22:58.that position. Blustery conditions, particularly down the back straight.

:22:58. > :23:16.

:23:17. > :23:26.Robert Tobin will know he has to but Williams has made up a couple

:23:27. > :23:28.

:23:28. > :23:35.of yards. Into the wind. Martyn Rooney starting to move. There is

:23:35. > :23:40.not much to choose between Martyn Rooney and Williams. Richard

:23:40. > :23:46.Strachan started fast on the outside. Williams's on the shoulder

:23:46. > :23:50.of Martyn Rooney. Williams is pushing Martyn Rooney hard. The

:23:50. > :23:56.Martyn Rooney will have to find something. Nigel Levine is coming

:23:56. > :24:01.quickly, as well. Martyn Rooney, forging ahead. He wins from

:24:01. > :24:09.Williams. What a race. Not super quick in terms of time, but three

:24:09. > :24:13.men battling it out and the two who attacked hardest for our the first

:24:13. > :24:16.200 Perhaps rewarded. Rooney did not panic when Williams came inside.

:24:16. > :24:24.He had enough strength in the home straight. He has been good this

:24:24. > :24:29.year. Williams acknowledges the fact that he is guaranteed his spot.

:24:29. > :24:34.But I would suggest the top three might get the three births, given

:24:34. > :24:41.they were ahead of the rest. till the last metre that was tough

:24:41. > :24:49.to call. Third from the left-hand side, Nigel Levine. He left himself

:24:49. > :24:52.a lot to do. Even Robert Tobin was closing. Out of the corners of the

:24:52. > :25:00.RI, REME and Williams saw Nigel Levine coming and just managed to

:25:00. > :25:05.stay ahead. -- of the eye, Martyn Rooney. Martyn Rooney had something

:25:05. > :25:14.left. He dug in. He managed to squeeze ahead by half a metre.

:25:14. > :25:21.Nigel Levine was finishing like a train. Martyn Rooney kept his

:25:21. > :25:26.composure. We will look at them full resort and a moment,

:25:26. > :25:31.concentrate on Martyn Rooney. He is staying relaxed. He managed to

:25:31. > :25:41.increase his stride length, sufficient to take him to another

:25:41. > :25:41.

:25:41. > :25:46.national title and Olympic qualification.

:25:46. > :25:51.The winning time was not spectacular, but it was all about

:25:51. > :25:53.winning here. Williams only just hung on for the second spot. The

:25:53. > :25:56.hung on for the second spot. The hung on for the second spot. The

:25:56. > :26:02.top two will be going to the Olympic Games.

:26:02. > :26:05.Conrad, that will be a relief to book your place on the team. You

:26:05. > :26:11.are a great relay run and now you're doing it individually.

:26:11. > :26:15.cannot believe it. I am going to be at home, running in London. To make

:26:15. > :26:20.my senior debut in London, there are so many people to thank, it is

:26:20. > :26:30.crazy. When you're being chased by Nigel Levine, you delivered when

:26:30. > :26:31.

:26:31. > :26:35.you needed to. He is my training partner. It was that with Martyn

:26:35. > :26:38.Rooney involved, it was crazy, it was probably why I held him off

:26:38. > :26:43.because I knew he would come back at the finish. Martyn Rooney, well

:26:43. > :26:52.done, you performed so brilliantly in Beijing, you have aspirations of

:26:52. > :26:58.this year. It is relief. It has been a nice start to the season.

:26:58. > :27:02.Today was a challenge. Conrad really improved his game. The group

:27:02. > :27:07.did well. It is impressive to see. I would like to say thanks to my

:27:07. > :27:12.coach. Every year, he gets me in shape. The Olympics, I have to play

:27:12. > :27:18.the game. I am just happy, you know! It is great to see. And it

:27:18. > :27:23.bodes well for the relay. Phenomenal. A couple of guys in

:27:23. > :27:28.this race and from the hurdles. This year we have options. It makes

:27:28. > :27:38.a difference. Really exciting a difference. Really exciting

:27:38. > :27:39.

:27:39. > :27:47.having command. Enjoy the moment. This is a good round, the women's

:27:47. > :27:53.long jump. Shara Proctor leading. That is even better. She gives a

:27:53. > :27:58.big smile. Watch her in warm up, she looked sharp. She looks up for

:27:58. > :28:05.this. Running really well. Right over the top of the board, carrying

:28:05. > :28:15.momentum through. Sits back at take-off, losing speed, right on

:28:15. > :28:20.

:28:20. > :28:26.top of it. A simple technique. The British record six metres and 90.

:28:26. > :28:32.You can see from the reaction, six metres and 95, this is a new

:28:32. > :28:37.British record. That is from Helsinki in 1983. A brilliant

:28:37. > :28:45.performance. Jess Ennis is congratulating her. She is a

:28:45. > :28:55.contender in London. Jessica Ennis. The long jump, many of us believe,

:28:55. > :28:55.

:28:55. > :29:03.potentially, an event where, well she could trip up, London. -- in

:29:03. > :29:08.London. Looking towards the heptathlon, this is not so the

:29:08. > :29:15.situation she wants to be in London. In heptathlon, they only had three

:29:15. > :29:19.attempts. This jump is in excess of the white line, which is super

:29:19. > :29:25.imposed across the sand, and represents the eighth place. She

:29:26. > :29:29.will go through to the final, but we would not want the situation to

:29:29. > :29:38.occur in the Olympics heptathlon. The whole British nation would be

:29:38. > :29:42.sweating. It is not a bad effort. sweating. It is not a bad effort.

:29:42. > :29:46.sweating. It is not a bad effort. Six metres and 27.

:29:46. > :29:51.The 3000 metres steeplechase for Women shortly. We said it was going

:29:51. > :29:55.to be a race and it was. It was, this is what the crowds have come

:29:55. > :30:01.to see, people running like their life depends on it. The best three

:30:01. > :30:07.really did win on the day. I felt sorry for Luke Lennon Ford, who was

:30:07. > :30:13.sick on Friday. He has the A standard. Delighted for Martyn

:30:13. > :30:21.Rooney, who had a mediocre season last year and it was great to see

:30:21. > :30:27.him come through and take that Martyn Rooney must feel very

:30:27. > :30:32.confident? Yes, I am pretty sure that he fills if he can get close

:30:32. > :30:39.to his lifetime best, he will not be too far away from a medal. He

:34:11. > :34:11.

:34:11. > :34:16.have not got the technique of the steeplechase just yet. There are

:34:16. > :34:23.not too many athletes in this field with a great pedigree. Apart from

:34:23. > :34:33.the likes of Hatti Archer, we set three British records before

:34:34. > :34:42.Barbara Parker Cup -- before Barbara Parker. A couple going down

:36:20. > :36:20.

:36:20. > :36:30.steady pace. Lennie Waite just behind her. McColgan still in third

:36:30. > :36:32.

:37:47. > :37:57.steeplechase confrontation. Four laps remaining. A group of five

:37:57. > :37:58.

:37:58. > :38:08.locked together since the start. Look at this, Carolyn Boosey has

:38:08. > :38:15.

:38:15. > :38:25.lost a shoe. She is still running. Archer Leeds. -- in the lead.

:38:25. > :38:30.

:38:30. > :38:38.Archer is having a go. It would be a huge achievement if she could get

:38:38. > :38:45.even close, given that it is her first race of the season. At least

:38:45. > :38:53.she is having a go. It would be quite easy to come and say, I have

:38:53. > :39:03.not had the chance to race. She is leading them out. The pace is

:39:03. > :39:06.

:39:06. > :39:13.around 9.55. Just beginning to look a little bit tired. McColgan, a

:39:13. > :39:20.great season so far. Remember last year when she had that terrible for

:39:20. > :39:30.at the border jump -- water jump in Crystal Palace. She had to complete

:39:30. > :39:43.

:39:43. > :39:48.group down to four. Pippa Woolven has dropped off the back. Hatti

:40:11. > :40:16.

:40:16. > :40:25.Another very good Scottish athlete. Emily Stewart in 4th. She has

:40:25. > :40:31.tracking McColgan. Nobody really has taken it on, except for a Hatti

:40:31. > :40:41.Archer. She has had to do the hard work. McColgan looking as though

:40:41. > :40:48.

:40:48. > :40:58.this is hard work. Emily Stewart is having a great race, by the way.

:40:58. > :41:08.

:41:08. > :41:12.McColgan making sure that she is the hurdling technique which a

:41:12. > :41:21.couple of them are struggling with. When you're dropping her stride

:41:21. > :41:27.into every hurdle, it is at tiring event. If you can develop a better

:41:27. > :41:37.hurdling technique, he will not do too badly. -- you will not do too

:41:37. > :41:43.badly. McColgan, early doors, when she was surrounded by so many

:41:43. > :41:48.people, as the race has progressed, and it is less crowded out there,

:41:48. > :41:54.she has looked far more fluid and far more at ease than she was

:41:54. > :42:00.earlier. Now she is contesting for the lead with Hatti Archer. Just

:42:00. > :42:09.over a lap left. For the first time in the race we have that new leader.

:42:09. > :42:19.McColgan has taken it on. Emily Stewart in third. The Lennie Waite

:42:19. > :42:21.

:42:21. > :42:27.back in 4th. Eilish McColgan heads for home. This is impressive

:42:27. > :42:37.running. Hatti Archer sticking to her task. She wants to keep her

:42:37. > :42:39.

:42:39. > :42:43.chances alive. McColgan can enjoy these last metres. She can start to

:42:43. > :42:53.think already about the Olympic Games, because she is clear. She

:42:53. > :42:57.

:42:57. > :43:00.has to negotiate these barriers. Eilish McColgan of Dundee Harriers.

:43:01. > :43:05.She must not make any mistakes. One barrier remaining before her first

:43:05. > :43:13.senior title. Look at the distance she has put between herself and

:43:13. > :43:19.Hatti Archer. It could be a Scottish first and second. Hatti

:43:19. > :43:29.Archer under threat from Emily Stewart. Here comes I Liz McColgan.

:43:29. > :43:34.A very impressive last lap. Just inside 10 minutes. Hatti Archer

:43:34. > :43:44.just finishing ahead of Emily Stewart. Lennie Waite finishing in

:43:44. > :43:46.

:43:46. > :43:56.4th. UK national champion. There is a very famous mother. She is

:43:56. > :43:58.

:43:58. > :44:02.absolutely delighted. Liz McColgan, a former world champion. There is

:44:02. > :44:12.the former champion and the former British record holder, trying to

:44:12. > :44:13.

:44:13. > :44:22.run herself back into some sort of shape. A good job done for Scotland.

:44:22. > :44:27.Yes, the nerves build. You know you have got the 'A' qualifying

:44:27. > :44:37.standard which you still have to win the race. You saw the emotion

:44:37. > :44:47.

:44:47. > :44:51.coming out. Well done Hatti Archer I have Eilish McColgan and a very

:44:51. > :44:58.proud mother. I can see emotion in your eyes. I am really pleased. She

:44:58. > :45:02.has been sick this week. She has been to the doctors and on

:45:02. > :45:07.antibiotics and I am thrilled she can run like that. I am really

:45:07. > :45:13.proud. In credible, you are run the Olympic team. What does it mean?

:45:13. > :45:18.cannot believe it, after the week I have had. I could not train two

:45:18. > :45:27.weeks ago after hurting my knee. To come out and run, I cannot believe

:45:27. > :45:33.it. I'm going to rest now are! showed courage and the way you took

:45:33. > :45:37.the race at the end. I felt good, but it is different with so many

:45:37. > :45:42.girls on the barriers, to get your feet in. I am really pleased with

:45:42. > :45:49.that. Another Olympian in the family? Be it is amazing that she

:45:49. > :45:54.is going. It could have been a different situation because she

:45:54. > :45:57.fractured her foot. She has been through so much. To be her coach is

:45:57. > :46:04.an honour, but to be her mother is something else. I'm really pleased

:46:04. > :46:09.for her. Old athletes never die, they become

:46:09. > :46:13.parents of international athletes or they keep throwing a javelin. If

:46:13. > :46:19.you're not watching yesterday, you missed a treat, Roald Bradstock, at

:46:19. > :46:24.the age of 50, he does not mind me saying that, came second in the

:46:24. > :46:31.national championships yesterday. And he is also wearing his Great

:46:31. > :46:36.Britain tracksuit from the 1984 Olympics in Los Andes. We have here,

:46:36. > :46:40.laid out on the javelin track -- Los Angeles, we have the kit he

:46:40. > :46:46.warned yesterday. Roald Bradstock is known as the Olympic Picasso.

:46:46. > :46:52.That is because this kit, it is not made from cotton, it is ordinary

:46:52. > :46:57.kit that he has painted the Olympic flag and everything on. It is a

:46:57. > :47:05.work of art. Is it rainproof? not know and hopefully I will not

:47:05. > :47:08.find out! Before we talk about this amazing kit, you are still

:47:08. > :47:13.competing at 50 and beating people who could be your children, is that

:47:13. > :47:18.an indictment of them already fantastic testimony to you? I would

:47:18. > :47:25.like to think it is the latter. I am having fun. I have never stopped

:47:25. > :47:33.throwing. The fact I can still be competitive and freight records is

:47:33. > :47:38.naturally thrilling. -- break. why this? I am an artist. I used

:47:38. > :47:45.different media. Yesterday, I looked at it as performance art.

:47:45. > :47:52.Obeying the rules, I had to wear a club first or international vest so

:47:52. > :47:59.I chose my 1984 Olympics are best. I decided to paint my shoes with

:47:59. > :48:08.the Union Jack and get some caps, and had different sleeves, and

:48:08. > :48:12.socks. And two pairs of tights. And I mixed and matched throughout.

:48:12. > :48:22.mention that you throw things other than javelins. You have the world

:48:22. > :48:27.

:48:27. > :48:33.record for throwing and I pot. Correct. How far? IPod. And you

:48:33. > :48:37.have the record for throwing a vinyl record. It was a record by

:48:37. > :48:45.Val do we can, very important! You could hear him sing the as he went

:48:45. > :48:50.flying through! We can talk more but we have the 1500 metres coming

:48:50. > :48:55.up. You are an ambassador for 2012 and are trying to incorporate

:48:55. > :49:00.athletics into art. Absolutely, from performance, to visiting

:49:00. > :49:03.schools, to looking at the connection between sport and art.

:49:03. > :49:13.Will you be back here at 60? How much longer can you keep throwing

:49:13. > :49:17.the javelin? Talked to my wife about that. -- talk to.

:49:17. > :49:21.Congratulations and Steve Backley, if you are watching, get back out

:49:21. > :49:29.there in training. Your country needs you! Behind us are the

:49:29. > :49:34.needs you! Behind us are the runners for the women's 1500 metres.

:49:34. > :49:40.We will look at the start list in a moment. First, we will look at the

:49:40. > :49:50.result of the steeplechase for women. Eilish McColgan, her first

:49:50. > :49:50.

:49:51. > :49:57.title and she is on her way to the Olympic Games. Emily Stewart made a

:49:57. > :50:03.good day for Scotland on the track. She was in third.

:50:03. > :50:10.On the far side of the track, the 1500 metres finalists are lining up.

:50:10. > :50:19.Laura Weightman is the fastest in the field. She has the A standard.

:50:19. > :50:29.Lisa Dobriskey, great to see her back. Hannah England is not here

:50:29. > :50:37.

:50:37. > :50:40.because she was bike to a few weeks ago. -- spike -- spiked. We have

:50:40. > :50:50.spoken about the European championships next week, the last

:50:50. > :51:03.

:51:03. > :51:13.chance, that would be. Laura Weightman, wearing the red number

:51:13. > :51:15.

:51:15. > :51:19.which denotes the leaders in terms of times and performance this year.

:51:19. > :51:28.It will be an intriguing race in terms of tactics. Laura Weightman

:51:28. > :51:35.in the best position. Sinn has the A standard -- she has. She has to

:51:35. > :51:40.finish in the top two. Tactics as ever in the 1500 metres

:51:40. > :51:44.will determine everything. There are no real front runners here. It

:51:44. > :51:48.will be interesting to see what Lisa Dobriskey and Charlene Thomas

:51:48. > :51:58.do. Lisa Dobriskey has gone to the back of the field, watching what is

:51:58. > :52:00.

:52:00. > :52:05.going on ahead. They ended up with the burn up over the last 400

:52:05. > :52:12.yesterday and we expect the same today. We have seen Lisa Dobriskey

:52:12. > :52:20.do this in the past. You are too modest to mention, but you coached

:52:20. > :52:25.Laura Weightman. What are the instructions? I am not telling you!

:52:26. > :52:29.You cannot give too many instructions. You look at a race

:52:29. > :52:32.like this and it is about what happens on the day and putting

:52:32. > :52:37.yourself in the right position at the right time and running the race

:52:37. > :52:41.you need to run. That is why all the athletes here, it is an

:52:41. > :52:48.intriguing position they have found themselves in, like the women's 800

:52:48. > :52:52.yesterday, you have permutations. Laura Weightman it is top two,

:52:52. > :52:57.clear cut for her, but less clear cut for Charlene Thomas, who does

:52:57. > :53:02.not have the A standard yet. And for Lisa Dobriskey also, who needs

:53:02. > :53:08.to put in an eye-catching performance. They will be thinking

:53:08. > :53:12.about getting into the top two. And then thinking about next week.

:53:12. > :53:19.Keeping their options going into next week. They do not want to be

:53:19. > :53:28.ruled out come the selection meeting. Hannah Brooks from Crawley

:53:28. > :53:34.is leading. Leading comfortably at the moment. Phillippa Aukett in

:53:34. > :53:39.second place. Charlene Thomas, wearing the dark spectacles. You

:53:39. > :53:45.cannot see her at the moment. Just creeping in between first and

:53:45. > :53:49.second place. The ominous figure, of course, of Lisa Dobriskey, who

:53:49. > :53:53.is making her way through the field and round the outside. You have to

:53:53. > :53:59.beg the question has Lisa Dobriskey got the fast finish she used to

:53:59. > :54:03.have? She was renowned for being a fast finisher. I am not sure she is

:54:03. > :54:09.in that shape at the minute. Moving comfortably and looking good in

:54:09. > :54:14.fourth place. Starting to warm up a little, with or three big names.

:54:14. > :54:19.Lisa Dobriskey had a scare with a blood clot problem a few weeks ago.

:54:19. > :54:25.But she has the pace and pedigree. Is it still there? That will be the

:54:25. > :54:31.question for her to answer. We have seen Charlene Thomas win big races.

:54:31. > :54:36.They are gathering now. It will come down to the last 400 metres. I

:54:36. > :54:39.am sure the three names there, although there are one or two other

:54:39. > :54:44.kickers in the field. Laura Weightman on the shoulder of Hannah

:54:44. > :54:49.Brooks. Charlene Thomas and Lisa Dobriskey are hovering. Some of the

:54:49. > :54:55.big names are hovering dangerously. Laura Weightman hits the front. 400

:54:55. > :55:05.metres to go. Has Laura Weightman gone too soon? What has she got

:55:05. > :55:05.

:55:05. > :55:11.left? She has a gap already. At the moment, nobody is going with it.

:55:11. > :55:17.Charlene Thomas and Lisa Dobriskey have a lot of ground to make up.

:55:17. > :55:22.About nine metres. Remember Ross Murray and the men's 1500 metres.

:55:22. > :55:27.Charlene Thomas has changed gear. Laura Weightman with a metres is

:55:27. > :55:34.still looking strong. They are not closing the gap. Laura Weightman is

:55:34. > :55:39.going away if anything! There is a battle for second and third. At the

:55:39. > :55:44.moment, stretching away. She has won junior titles and English

:55:44. > :55:49.schools' titles. She is going to the Olympic Games and has destroyed

:55:49. > :55:59.them on the last lap. Well done, Laura Weightman. Congratulations.

:55:59. > :56:04.Lisa Dobriskey just hangs on for second. She has worked hard for

:56:04. > :56:12.this, I can tell you. She had a difficult year last year and Lisa

:56:12. > :56:17.Dobriskey knows how hard it is to come back. Fit athletes, coming in

:56:17. > :56:22.top form to the trials and what a relief that will be for have.

:56:22. > :56:27.was a decisive move. I wonder how many spectators thought she had

:56:27. > :56:33.gone too soon. In the end, Laura Weightman, not only did she have

:56:33. > :56:41.the lead, she was moving away from everybody else. There was a late

:56:41. > :56:46.surge. That was by Montana Jones, but it was all about Laura

:56:46. > :56:52.Weightman. She came here as favourite. As Steve said, she

:56:52. > :57:00.looked fit and confident in the end, after perhaps a nervous first 800

:57:00. > :57:04.metres. She looked to be a classy athlete. Well done. 50 it 0.5. Her

:57:04. > :57:10.athlete. Well done. 50 it 0.5. Her athlete. Well done. 50 it 0.5. Her

:57:10. > :57:16.coach is pleased with that! -- 58.5. Steve Cram did a commentary on

:57:16. > :57:20.euros, a very proud man, I am sure. A fantastic performance. I did what

:57:20. > :57:26.I needed to do in that race. I wanted to leave it as long as

:57:26. > :57:32.possible. When I hit the bell, I felt good and wanted to push on the

:57:32. > :57:36.last lap, making sure it was secure, my place for the team. You did it

:57:36. > :57:41.in style. Can you believe how far you have come? I am going to the

:57:41. > :57:45.Olympics. It is unbelievable with all the troubles I have had with

:57:45. > :57:50.injuries and illness, to win today and say I am going to the Olympics

:57:50. > :57:55.is unbelievable. What about Steve Cram in the commentary box? What

:57:55. > :57:59.has he been able to help you do? has had a huge impact on me. We

:57:59. > :58:05.have worked together for a few years and the experience he has is

:58:05. > :58:08.huge. Learning from him is an inspiration. And you will be in

:58:08. > :58:15.London on that team. I cannot believe it. I am going to the

:58:15. > :58:19.Olympics! We have Lisa Dobriskey, who came second. Returning from

:58:19. > :58:28.surgery last year. You're getting back bit by bit. Where does this

:58:28. > :58:31.leave you? I wanted the second slot. To be fair, Laura is running

:58:31. > :58:35.fantastically and realistically I knew I would not be able to beat

:58:35. > :58:40.her. I thought if I had the second slot, it would give me an

:58:40. > :58:45.opportunity to get the time. I finished fourth in Beijing and

:58:45. > :58:51.second in Berlin. I can be selected. Whether it means I will be selected,

:58:51. > :58:55.I do not know. I do not want to tour about it any more. Hats off to

:58:55. > :59:00.Steve and Alison who have worked with Laura Weightman, she is coming

:59:00. > :59:05.on well. It is great to see you are looking at it with a positive slant.

:59:05. > :59:10.All the great things you have done in the past. You might make another

:59:10. > :59:15.performance like today. Fingers crossed. It has been difficult. I

:00:16. > :00:17.

:00:18. > :00:27.Jessica Ennis hoped for. Yesterday she was quite brilliant. A little

:00:27. > :00:31.bit back to the drawing board. She jumped very well in the heptathlon.

:00:31. > :00:38.A little shake of the head. She will be speaking to her coach about

:00:38. > :00:48.that. That is not how she would have wanted to finish. A little

:00:48. > :00:59.

:00:59. > :01:05.head-scratching there. Finishing in 6th place. The final attempt. In

:01:05. > :01:10.second place. She is one centimetre short of the 'A' qualifying

:01:10. > :01:15.standard. That is a massive jump and it is also a massive foul macro.

:01:15. > :01:22.The last couple of rounds she has attack the take-off board. I think

:01:22. > :01:32.she can jump six metres and seven d5. She will try to find a small

:01:32. > :01:34.

:01:34. > :01:39.meeting somewhere. She has a weak or so to get on the team.

:01:39. > :01:49.Confirmation of a marvellous British record for Shara Proctor. A

:01:49. > :02:09.

:02:09. > :02:19.was fairly clear for him. He had to finish in the top two. Nobody else

:02:19. > :02:20.

:02:20. > :02:28.in the race had the 'A' qualifying standard. The way was left open for

:02:28. > :02:35.McCormick. He would have loved to have won the race. Ross Millington

:02:35. > :02:39.proved a redoubtable character on the last lap. It looked as though

:02:40. > :02:49.McCormack would come past him on the home straight. Millington was

:02:50. > :02:51.

:02:51. > :02:55.not having it. Millington surged away down the home straight for a

:02:55. > :03:05.well deserved victory. McCormick will join a Mo farmer. We will have

:03:05. > :03:10.

:03:10. > :03:15.to wait to see. -- Mo farmer. Tom Farrell struggling with injury. No

:03:15. > :03:25.problems for McCormick. Qualified for the Olympics. The title goes to

:03:25. > :03:41.

:03:41. > :03:51.way. This is Brett Mouris. As back Brett Morse. At the moment, the

:03:51. > :04:01.lead is a modest 56 metres. The 'A' qualifying standard is 65. Lawrence

:04:01. > :04:03.

:04:03. > :04:13.Okoye year as well. Brett Morse knows he has to prove himself. He

:04:13. > :04:19.

:04:19. > :04:25.likes it. That his ass season's Lawrence Okoye. A rugby player

:04:25. > :04:34.first, changed to athletics. He has really come at growing to his own.

:04:34. > :04:40.Said a new British record. Tricky conditions. A blustery wind. A few

:04:40. > :04:43.negative thoughts in the Lawrence's mind. He did not qualify for the

:04:44. > :04:52.world championships last year. He has a different athlete this year.

:04:52. > :05:02.He will want to stamp his authority on this competition. Putting the

:05:02. > :05:07.

:05:07. > :05:14.early pressure wrong. -- putting the early pressure on. Next event,

:05:14. > :05:21.the women's 5000 metres. It is actually under way. Britain's very

:05:21. > :05:28.best talent is in this race. Jo Pavey, Helen Clitheroe, household

:05:28. > :05:38.names. Barbara Parker, British record holder for the steeplechase,

:05:38. > :05:53.

:05:53. > :05:59.collecting this time for the 5000 the athletes with the 'A'

:05:59. > :06:09.qualifying standard standard. -- the 'A' qualifying standard.

:06:09. > :06:18.

:06:18. > :06:24.Barbara Parker, back in about third or 4th place at the moment.

:06:24. > :06:34.Defending champion, Julia Bleasdale. Helen Clitheroe is looking very

:06:34. > :06:40.

:06:40. > :06:50.comfortable. Charlotte Purdue is leading. Katrina Wootton is there

:06:50. > :06:53.

:06:53. > :07:00.as well. The main protagonists up there. Stephanie Smith does have

:07:00. > :07:05.the 'A' qualifying standard. We mentioned Barbara Parker. A much

:07:05. > :07:10.underrated athlete. Has trained really hard and work really hard

:07:10. > :07:15.this year. A new British record at steeplechase. She will be looking

:07:15. > :07:25.forward to going in that event. It is good to see her in this event.

:07:25. > :07:30.

:07:30. > :07:40.It is good to see the quality overall. Jo Pavey near the front. A

:07:40. > :07:45.

:07:45. > :07:55.long way to go. Laura Samuel Swan the triple jump earlier. -- Lawro

:07:55. > :08:04.

:08:04. > :08:13.qualification. She is once again the UK champion.

:08:13. > :08:18.6 a half laps left. Jo Pavey picking up the pace a little bit.

:08:18. > :08:24.She has not exactly stolen a march and everybody, but all of a sudden

:08:24. > :08:30.the field is strong out by 10 metres. Julia Bleasdale, the

:08:30. > :08:38.defending champion, in third place. Katrina Wootton in third. Charlotte

:08:38. > :08:48.Purdue on the inside. Barbara Parker, wearing the red and yellow

:08:48. > :09:02.

:09:02. > :09:08.of the city of Norwich club, comes she was having to row macro. --

:09:08. > :09:18.when she was heading to Italy. She has been such a great athlete over

:09:18. > :09:22.

:09:22. > :09:29.the years. She has got these options. 5000, 10,000. She is

:09:29. > :09:34.obviously not quite the contender that she used to be. But she is

:09:34. > :09:41.still a character in the team. You need someone like her. She is still

:09:41. > :09:51.there as a benchmark. Good to see Julia Bleasdale. Great season, she

:09:51. > :09:53.

:09:53. > :10:00.is having. Julia just coming alongside Jo Pavey. Helen has

:10:00. > :10:06.missed so much training. Let's hope she can have a good race here today.

:10:06. > :10:14.The women's pole vault. Just one athlete left, Holly Bleasdale. This

:10:14. > :10:24.is her third and final attempt. Four metres 50. That is the 'A'

:10:24. > :10:33.qualifying standard. She is guaranteed selection. A look of

:10:33. > :10:40.relief. She is off to the Games. Back with the action on the track.

:10:40. > :10:46.Four and a half laps left. Jo Pavey leading. Julia Bleasdale in second.

:10:46. > :10:55.Katrina Wootton has been in that leading group from the start.

:10:55. > :11:03.Working very hard on the inside. Barbara Parker is there, too. We

:11:03. > :11:11.cannot forget Helen Clitheroe. We should not mention a lady's age,

:11:11. > :11:16.but 38 years old. We know what's it experience she has got. Yes, I

:11:16. > :11:26.think Helen has had major problems this year. I know how much she had

:11:26. > :11:31.

:11:31. > :11:39.set her heart on going to the Olympic Games. Helen did run the

:11:39. > :11:44.'A' qualifying standard last year. There are still some options but

:11:44. > :11:49.the selectors after the European Championships in July. What Hallam

:11:49. > :11:54.would need to do is prove she was worth that selection plays based on

:11:54. > :11:59.the time she had last year. -- Helen. She needs a good time here.

:11:59. > :12:09.She is running out of time. Athletes run at a time when you

:12:09. > :12:09.

:12:09. > :12:13.have had injuries. -- run out of time. Someone has just run off over

:12:13. > :12:17.the leading group. Someone has gone off the track. You cannot just

:12:17. > :12:27.produce something when you have not put the work in. That is the issue

:12:27. > :12:35.for Helen. Three laps remaining. It has been a sustained effort by Jo

:12:35. > :12:41.Pavey at the front. The pace has certainly quickened. 3.32 for the

:12:42. > :12:51.first kilometre. 3.21 for the second. The last four kilometres,

:12:52. > :12:52.

:12:52. > :12:58.3.06. Jo Pavey still leaves as they reach 1000 metres to go. She has

:12:58. > :13:08.got Julia Bleasdale on her shoulder. Katrina Wootton is still in third

:13:08. > :13:08.

:13:08. > :13:15.place. And Barbara -- and Barbara Parker, the steeplechase record

:13:16. > :13:20.holder. Helen Clitheroe is drifting off the pace. It is still Jo Pavey

:13:20. > :13:30.leading as they come into the home straight. Bleasdale looks very

:13:30. > :13:30.

:13:30. > :13:35.comfortable. She has had a series run really well. Jo Pavey is not

:13:35. > :13:42.giving this up. These three women in pretty good shape. Pulling away

:13:42. > :13:52.from the others. Bleasdale looks poised and ready. Parker can shift

:13:52. > :13:53.

:13:53. > :13:58.on the last lap as well. Let's see how this one pans out. I'm not sure

:13:58. > :14:04.this is relevant. Maybe Jo Pavey is the only one who will run in the

:14:04. > :14:11.5000 because as an option. It is now about who is going to win. Who

:14:11. > :14:14.is guide to be, the UK champion in Olympic year? -- going to be.

:14:14. > :14:20.reminder that Jo Pavey has the 'A' qualifying standard. She said it

:14:20. > :14:26.earlier this year within the date of the qualifying conditions.

:14:26. > :14:33.Barbara Parker, she will go to the Olympics and the way for the

:14:33. > :14:41.steeplechase. That is an important figure for her at the moment. Julia

:14:41. > :14:51.Bleasdale takes over from Jo Pavey. Heading towards the bell. If Julia

:14:51. > :14:54.

:14:54. > :15:02.Bleasdale can win this, it would be Bleasdale leading, Barbara Parker

:15:02. > :15:09.in second. Joanne Pavey in third place. Barbara Parker, based in the

:15:09. > :15:15.States and the warmer climes of Santa Monica. She looks comfortable.

:15:15. > :15:24.Starting to work hard for the first time. Jo Pavey, St come on, when is

:15:24. > :15:30.this from starting? -- saying. Pavey trying to get on level terms

:15:30. > :15:34.with Barbara Parker, who has been running superbly this year, setting

:15:34. > :15:39.new record figures for the steeplechase early on. She is very

:15:39. > :15:48.strong. Let's not forget the experience Jo Pavey house. What

:15:48. > :15:54.does she have left? -- Jo Pavey has. She is going well. Jo Pavey, moving

:15:54. > :16:01.away from everybody. Jo Pavey is on her way to the Olympic Games, so is

:16:01. > :16:09.Barbara Parker. Julia Bleasdale will have to wait and see, but what

:16:09. > :16:16.a finish. It was an interesting race. Britain's best talent was

:16:16. > :16:25.there are one or two and in the end Jo Pavey came out on top. Terrific

:16:25. > :16:31.effort. There was a big cheer in the stands, she is a darling of

:16:31. > :16:34.British athletics over the last ten years. And that his determination.

:16:34. > :16:39.That is somebody for whom they still care and they still want to

:16:39. > :16:42.win and, deep down, she would love to be perhaps a little fitter than

:16:42. > :16:48.she is in terms of being competitive in the Olympics, but

:16:48. > :16:52.she will go there and give 100%. Well done to Jo Pavey. Barbara will

:16:53. > :16:54.be with her in the steeplechase, as well, but the champion, again, his

:16:54. > :16:59.well, but the champion, again, his well, but the champion, again, his

:16:59. > :17:05.Jo Pavey. Congratulations. You have made

:17:05. > :17:09.another Olympic Games. I was so nervous. I have not done this for a

:17:09. > :17:13.long time and when you are still not there with less than 200 to go

:17:13. > :17:19.it is scary. I am pleased to win and it is lovely to be running the

:17:19. > :17:25.trials. To be at an Olympics before is one thing, but to be in London,

:17:25. > :17:31.what does it mean? It is amazing. It has kept me going, the prospect

:17:31. > :17:40.of a home games. It is special, totally different. I am enjoying

:17:41. > :17:44.being back on the track. Well done. Congratulations to Jo Pavey. I have

:17:44. > :17:50.a couple of excited great athletes who have just made one of their

:17:50. > :17:57.great heroes. Mary Rand, gold, silver, bronze-medallist, all in

:17:57. > :18:01.the same 1964 games. It is lovely to be here. It brings back memories,

:18:01. > :18:08.just being back, seeing the athletes and the great track, it is

:18:08. > :18:14.wonderful. We saw a fantastic long jump competition today. I was

:18:14. > :18:17.musing about what kind of kick you had almost five decades ago. I

:18:17. > :18:21.imagine you almost did it in their feet, I know you did not, but

:18:22. > :18:27.whatever kit you were given, you would take. We took whatever we

:18:27. > :18:33.were given. The spikes were different. Not like today, they are

:18:33. > :18:37.so light. We just took what they gave us. Whatever company it was,

:18:37. > :18:42.we took the spikes and we had a great big long spikes because of

:18:42. > :18:49.the cinder track and now they have this lovely track. What are your

:18:49. > :18:56.memories of being in the Olympics? Was at the ceremony, being in the

:18:56. > :19:02.village, winning? We had a great team and it was the camaraderie. We

:19:02. > :19:07.were like a family. Einar -- do not know whether it is like that today.

:19:07. > :19:14.I have those friends today. Now it is different. The scale of it is

:19:14. > :19:18.different. Denise Lewis, you were thrilled to meet Mary. She is one

:19:18. > :19:23.of the true female legends we have in the sport. I am close to Mary

:19:23. > :19:27.Peters and she speaks so highly of this woman. She said you were an

:19:27. > :19:34.inspiration. The positivity you exuded. You mention camaraderie,

:19:34. > :19:40.but it was about those friendships that grew and grew. Especially Mary

:19:40. > :19:45.Peters. We all had the same sense of humour. We would do funny things.

:19:45. > :19:50.The day of my final, there were hailstones. I can remember thinking

:19:50. > :19:54.it is the same for everybody. I am British and have to go out and do

:19:54. > :19:59.my best, but the best part was coming back and seeing the other

:19:59. > :20:06.athletes. I did not realise that the time I inspired them. I did

:20:06. > :20:10.this, you guys can do the same thing. In Davis won the long jump.

:20:10. > :20:16.It must have been one of the most extraordinary doubles -- who Lynn

:20:17. > :20:21.Davies. I have been sitting with her all afternoon. It is catching

:20:21. > :20:27.up and talking to each other about what happened. It was an

:20:27. > :20:33.inspiration. Getting that medal, it set the team off. Can you wait for

:20:33. > :20:37.the 200 metres to go? I can. will talk to Mary ran some more in

:20:37. > :20:39.a moment, but the runners are going to their blocks for the men's 200

:20:39. > :20:44.to their blocks for the men's 200 metres final. Before that the

:20:44. > :20:52.results of the 5000. It was one of the biggest cheers of

:20:52. > :20:59.the day, Jo Pavey making the Olympic team once more. Barbara

:20:59. > :21:07.Parker looks as if she is on her way. The defending champion, was

:21:07. > :21:13.Julia Bleasdale. An intriguing men's 200 metres

:21:13. > :21:23.final. You can see the likes of Marlon Devonish, all of his

:21:23. > :21:24.

:21:24. > :21:34.experience. We will explain exactly what the scenario is here. On the

:21:34. > :21:38.

:21:38. > :21:42.outside, 18 years of age, the qualifying A standard, one or two

:21:42. > :21:49.came close in the heats. Christian Malcolm had to run quickly. He was

:21:49. > :21:56.against Danny Talbot in his heat. He has the current A standard.

:21:57. > :22:01.Marlon Devonish does not. There he will try to draw on his experience.

:22:01. > :22:05.Can he rediscover some old magic? Danny Talbot looked good and does

:22:06. > :22:13.not have the A standard from this year but does from last year. He

:22:13. > :22:19.would have to run a personal best. James Ellington, top two for him

:22:19. > :22:26.will be good enough, he has the current standard. I thought Chris

:22:26. > :22:31.Clarke looked very good. 20.65 in heats. He has chosen to go for this

:22:32. > :22:36.rather than the 400 metres. Will it pay off? Richard Kilty has not

:22:36. > :22:42.raced since April. He has the current standard, but is he as fit

:22:42. > :22:47.as he was back then? And the man who has come from the Turks and

:22:47. > :22:52.Caicos Islands. Attempting to make the British team. Got a terrible

:22:52. > :22:59.start in their heats. He finds himself, because of that, in lane

:22:59. > :23:05.one. James Alaka got knocked out in the heats and he will be watching

:23:05. > :23:15.to see what happens here. Christian Malcolm, James Allington, Richard

:23:15. > :23:25.

:23:25. > :23:35.Kilty, they could cement their faster, they could do that. -- runs

:23:35. > :23:45.

:23:45. > :23:51.the best start. Christian Malcolm is also going well. Danny Talbot

:23:51. > :23:56.tried to get to the rest. James Ellington and lead. It will be

:23:56. > :24:01.tight. Chris Clarke trying to get there. James Ellington pulling away.

:24:01. > :24:06.Christian Malcolm finishing quickly. James Ellington From Malcolm, the

:24:06. > :24:10.two of them go. Well done, James Ellington. Quickest out of the

:24:10. > :24:15.blocks and maintained it through to the finish. Marlon Devonish ran the

:24:16. > :24:19.best bend, but he ran the best 200 metres. Christian Malcolm rescued

:24:19. > :24:28.his Olympic spot in the last 50 metres. It was a great race. The

:24:28. > :24:32.two men know they are going and can celebrate. Malcolm will not be

:24:32. > :24:42.happy with coming second. The defending champion had to give way

:24:42. > :24:42.

:24:42. > :24:45.to James Ellington. Kristian has done enough. -- Christian Malcolm.

:24:45. > :24:52.James Ellington, he got the best start bar one. His reaction was

:24:52. > :24:57.very quick. Over the first 90 metres, he tore into Danny Talbot

:24:57. > :25:02.outside him and into Marlon Devonish. There was a small lead at

:25:02. > :25:06.the home straight. Christian Malcolm already tightening up and

:25:06. > :25:10.go missing because he can feel the presence of James Ellington. Marlon

:25:10. > :25:15.Devonish went backwards at this stage. Christian Malcolm, in the

:25:15. > :25:19.end, finishing quickly, but James Ellington had enough. That was very

:25:19. > :25:26.interesting, indeed. Very difficult to call the winner from that one

:25:26. > :25:32.before the race, but in the end, James Ellington, 20.55, exactly,

:25:32. > :25:37.this year, that was the A standard, and he has confirmed his No 1

:25:37. > :25:40.status by booking his seat on the train to Stratford. The winner, the

:25:40. > :25:45.champion, and now a member of the champion, and now a member of the

:25:45. > :25:48.champion, and now a member of the Olympic team.

:25:49. > :25:55.I am joined by him and Christian Malcolm. James, first of all, great

:25:55. > :26:02.to see the camaraderie. That was hard to call. You lift up to the

:26:03. > :26:07.pressure. I was nervous after the heat. I was sceptical about the

:26:07. > :26:12.final but I felt if I held my head around the bend, I would be strong

:26:12. > :26:17.enough to win it. The flag means you are going to the Olympics.

:26:17. > :26:21.cannot believe it. I have waited all my life for this moment.

:26:21. > :26:27.Congratulations. You have done it before, but you are going again, it

:26:27. > :26:35.must be an amazing feeling. Oh, it is. It is relief. It was a gamble

:26:35. > :26:39.for me. The double this weekend. It puts me in good stead for the

:26:40. > :26:47.championships. The fourth Olympics, here we go. Tell me about the

:26:47. > :26:51.pressure at the start? I have never felt so drained at the end of day

:26:51. > :27:01.three of the championships than I did on the starting line. These

:27:01. > :27:06.guys were on form. Enjoy the moment. Just a final word with you. Your

:27:06. > :27:14.coach is watching. A lot of people make this possible. My cage has

:27:14. > :27:20.been a great help. My mother, my friends and family -- my coach. I

:27:20. > :27:30.said to Craig Pickering, I shouted out. I hope you get better soon,

:27:30. > :27:38.

:27:38. > :27:38.made. And everybody who has Chris Clarke will have to get

:27:38. > :27:43.quicker if he is going to be quicker if he is going to be

:27:43. > :27:47.selected. Well done. A great story. James Ellington said

:29:23. > :29:28.them in England because that is where they belong. People might

:33:49. > :33:57.

:33:57. > :34:04.got the qualification time. And he defending champion tightened up on

:34:04. > :34:11.the last couple of metres. Margaret Adeoye came here as an outside

:34:11. > :34:21.chance. She leaves as part of the Olympic team and as the champion as

:35:21. > :35:26.honesty, it has been a really challenging year for me. My father

:35:26. > :35:31.passed away in February. I did not know what was guide to happen. I

:35:31. > :35:34.went through a lot of OPs and downs. I was always blessed with being

:35:34. > :35:40.held the on the track and in training. I just have to keep

:35:40. > :35:48.pushing. I knew that is what my dad would have wanted as well. London

:35:58. > :36:16.

:36:16. > :36:23.Lawrence Okoye in this discus. He is in second place. Well short of

:36:23. > :36:33.his British record. That looks a little bit better. Memories of

:36:33. > :36:51.

:36:51. > :37:01.coming here and not qualifying for far. He thinks that is a little bit

:37:01. > :37:11.

:37:11. > :37:14.better. This could be the lead. It pole vault. Her second attempt. It

:37:14. > :37:24.is almost as if she has been shell- shocked by her amazing indoor

:37:24. > :37:32.

:37:33. > :37:42.London with real confidence. Confirmation of Bleasdale taking

:37:43. > :38:11.

:38:59. > :39:04.on the world circuit. Mukhtar Mohammed, just 21 years old. He is

:39:04. > :39:14.not far off the 'A' qualifying standard. Can he get in the next?

:39:14. > :39:15.

:39:15. > :39:20.Gareth Warburton, the other man with the 'A' qualifying standard.

:40:13. > :40:22.Does anybody want to take this on? It looks as though it could be

:40:22. > :40:30.Warburton. Were Britain could be the wild card. He is in superb form.

:40:30. > :40:39.-- Warburton. He ran a massive personal best in Oslo. Nothing to

:40:39. > :40:48.lose. He is going to go for it. A saggy tucked into third. -- Andrew

:40:48. > :40:53.Osagie. All of the main contenders there. Gareth Warburton leads them

:40:53. > :41:03.through. He is there to be shot at. He is starting to put the pressure

:41:03. > :41:07.

:41:07. > :41:17.on. Michael Rimmer just leaning in. Warburton looks comfortable. Andrew

:41:17. > :41:18.

:41:18. > :41:22.Osagie looks comfortable. Rimmer is right there. Andrew Osagie trying

:41:22. > :41:31.to do what he did last year. Trying to cement this place in the Olympic

:41:31. > :41:38.team. Rimmer showing that he is still a force to be reckoned with.

:41:38. > :41:45.It is Andrew Assad becoming a way! -- Andrew Osagie! Mohammed gets

:41:45. > :41:52.ahead of Russia. The Olympics snatched away perhaps in the last

:41:52. > :42:01.few strides, who knows? Andrew Osagie, no doubt for him. He is

:42:01. > :42:08.going. He did what he had to do. Rimmer, with five metres left, was

:42:08. > :42:14.in the team with him but fell away. Andrew Osagie, strong, quick.

:42:14. > :42:22.Looking good. Great stylist as well. Congratulations to him. Michael

:42:22. > :42:27.Rimmer will have to wait. Andrew Osagie is the only one who can be

:42:27. > :42:33.inked in tonight. I would not want to be in Michael Rimmer's shoes

:42:33. > :42:39.this evening. He will be kicking himself. Andrew Osagie went away in

:42:39. > :42:44.the end. He kicked at about 150 because. Michael Rimmer, faltering.

:42:44. > :42:49.He was all over the place. Mukhtar Mohammed strolled past him. You

:42:49. > :42:56.have got to say that Andrew Osagie is different class. He has been so

:42:56. > :43:01.confident. Running some superb races all year. When he came across

:43:01. > :43:08.the line, it is almost as though reputations meant nothing. He

:43:08. > :43:14.shrieked with delight. He thought, relax and concentrate on the big

:43:14. > :43:20.story. That will be his appearance in the Olympic Stadium. A big broad

:43:20. > :43:30.smile. Andrew a saggy looking absolutely splendid. -- Andrew

:43:30. > :43:34.

:43:38. > :43:46.The pressure was on my got last year. This year the pressure was on

:43:46. > :43:53.me. To win is the next step. I coped with the pressure. Happy

:43:53. > :43:59.enough. It seems like you're growing immaturity? I hope so. All

:43:59. > :44:04.you can take from races his experience. You may have a good

:44:04. > :44:08.race for a bad race. I am learning. The last few years that really

:44:08. > :44:13.helped me. What is it like when you were expected to take that Olympic

:44:13. > :44:19.place, now to have done it? It is different to any other

:44:19. > :44:26.championships. This is the Olympics, and it is in London. Big pressure.

:44:26. > :44:30.All I wanted was one of these flags! My family heavily supported

:44:31. > :44:40.me. Thank you to everybody for supporting me. Thank you for the

:44:41. > :44:50.

:44:50. > :45:00.performance. Can I say happy keeping his hopes alive -- well

:45:00. > :45:11.

:45:11. > :45:21.done to him. Just confirming the discus result. Daniel Greaves is a

:45:44. > :45:54.Lawrence Clarke is the defending champion and Commonwealth Games

:45:54. > :45:54.

:45:54. > :46:00.bronze-medallists. Andy -- Andy Pozzi. Andy Turner, world bronze-

:46:00. > :46:06.medallist. European and Commonwealth champion. William

:46:06. > :46:16.Sharman is still up for automatic selection thanks to coming 6th last

:46:16. > :46:17.

:46:17. > :46:27.selection thanks to coming 6th last selection thanks to coming 6th last

:46:27. > :46:43.

:46:43. > :46:49.from last year. Close to his personal best this season. Alex Al-

:46:49. > :46:57.Ameen has a new personal best this season. And then it is the big

:46:57. > :47:02.names. Andy Turner kicked a couple of hurdles in qualifying and was

:47:02. > :47:10.slower than his big rivals. He needs to find something. His

:47:10. > :47:18.Achilles problem has always been nagging away. Lawrence Clarke, he

:47:18. > :47:25.trains with Andrew Pozzi. This is the man, it is up to him to push

:47:25. > :47:35.himself into the top three at the very least. Andrew Pozzi, what a

:47:35. > :47:39.

:47:39. > :47:48.season he has had and what a talent he is. Gianni Frankis. He has the B

:47:48. > :47:55.standard. And Joseph Hylton has had a big improvement this year, making

:47:55. > :48:02.it into the Championship final. Andy Turner has been here so many

:48:02. > :48:11.times before. Commonwealth and European champion. That brilliant

:48:11. > :48:17.bronze medal last year at the Worlds. He will come in the top

:48:17. > :48:27.two? Cam William Sharman get in amongst them? -- can Willian

:48:27. > :48:35.

:48:35. > :48:45.in the home straight. That might be a factor. The men's 110 metres

:48:45. > :48:47.

:48:47. > :48:53.hurdles final. Andy Turner got a cracking start. Andrew Pozzi is

:48:53. > :48:57.trying to get involved. Perhaps just coming away. The youngster

:48:57. > :49:02.takes it from Lawrence Clarke, second, and Andy Turner stumbles

:49:02. > :49:12.across the line. The two youngsters, what a season! Jubilation. They are

:49:12. > :49:16.after the Olympic Games. The guru of hurdles coaching has produced

:49:16. > :49:21.two prodigious talents. They produced on the day and that is

:49:21. > :49:30.what he would have expected. Andy Turner came third, only just ahead

:49:30. > :49:34.of William Sharman. It was an exciting race. Andy Turner is the

:49:34. > :49:38.man who does not want to give up his title of being the best hurdler

:49:38. > :49:45.in the UK. Straight away, Lawrence Clarke coming on the right-hand

:49:45. > :49:51.side. And Andrew Pozzi himself. He eases his way up through the field

:49:51. > :49:56.and sneaks a victory. What a wonderful year this young men --

:49:56. > :50:02.man is having. Andrew Pozzi had a cracking indoor season. He just

:50:02. > :50:09.missed a medal at the World Indoor. This season, he has really come on

:50:09. > :50:19.leaps and bounds. He is a better, consistent, technical hurdler. He

:50:19. > :50:19.

:50:19. > :50:26.is very smooth. He hits the hurdle. It does not matter. Pushing and

:50:26. > :50:32.pushing all of the way, he can feel he is creeping ahead and he knows

:50:32. > :50:37.the Olympic Games is there for him. Look at his face, relief, yes, I am

:50:37. > :50:41.Look at his face, relief, yes, I am Look at his face, relief, yes, I am

:50:41. > :50:48.going to London! Two very happy men with Phil Jones.

:50:48. > :50:58.They are celebrating. Lawrence said... Andy is here. Joined us, as

:50:58. > :51:02.well. The sense of relief is overwhelming? It has been an

:51:02. > :51:07.horrendous suspense the whole season. Andy and I have trained so

:51:07. > :51:13.hard. Malcolm is always putting the pressure on us. We saw Dai Greene

:51:13. > :51:23.and Jack Green yesterday. We are so relieved. London 2012 is what you

:51:23. > :51:25.

:51:25. > :51:33.dream of. To be a, I am pleased. You have done it. It has been a

:51:33. > :51:39.great breakthrough year. We have done nine A standards each. This

:51:40. > :51:44.was the final hurdle! I'm sorry, that was terrible. A tremendous

:51:45. > :51:53.performance. New have been carrying the flag for a few years and

:51:53. > :51:57.hopefully you will again -- you have. I hope I have done enough. I

:51:57. > :52:04.would be gutted not to represent Britain at the London Olympics. I

:52:04. > :52:09.hope that is enough. I have a lot of work to do. Hopefully, they will

:52:09. > :52:14.pick me on the back of the third place today and I can produce it

:52:14. > :52:19.when it counts. We hope to see you all in London. Congratulations you

:52:19. > :52:25.all in London. Congratulations you to, you will definitely be there.

:52:25. > :52:30.What a great race to finish off with. It was very close for third.

:52:30. > :52:37.Turner only just held on. And a resurgent William Sharman. Maybe he

:52:37. > :52:39.did not do enough on the day. It did not do enough on the day. It

:52:39. > :52:45.did not do enough on the day. It will be left up to the selectors.

:52:45. > :52:48.Who would you take as the third man? Andy Turner without a doubt.

:52:48. > :52:53.He has proved himself the last couple of seasons and with a

:52:53. > :52:59.healthy body, and he would be up there, he would show them that he

:52:59. > :53:04.is still the main man. He has been injured. I hope he gets the

:53:04. > :53:09.opportunity to enjoy the Olympics and I hope the selectors choose him.

:53:09. > :53:14.We will look at a list of those who have qualified this weekend. That

:53:14. > :53:19.was the absolute defining image of the championships. They were racing

:53:19. > :53:25.to be there and those that did not make it will not be. It was great

:53:25. > :53:30.to see. There was a lot of nerves and tension. It was a great way to

:53:30. > :53:38.finish the championships. These are finish the championships. These are

:53:38. > :53:47.the people who will be part of the Games. 33 days away and the

:53:47. > :53:51.athletics start one week after they begin, 40 days away. For those

:53:52. > :53:56.athletes and their coaches and families and friends and everybody

:53:56. > :54:03.who has been supporting them over the last four years and probably

:54:04. > :54:10.longer, just to see their names on those lists is absolutely fantastic.

:54:11. > :54:16.We keep talking about 1500 metres runners and hurdlers, but we have

:54:16. > :54:19.two young fielder then stars. Holly two young fielder then stars. Holly

:54:19. > :54:25.two young fielder then stars. Holly Bleasdale, Lawrence Okoye.

:54:25. > :54:28.I remember talking to you in Manchester at the City games and

:54:28. > :54:36.you said you believe you can go higher. And you have done that

:54:36. > :54:41.today. I did not start well. Today was my first real one and I had to

:54:41. > :54:45.blow the cobwebs away. I found my stride. Today was the first

:54:45. > :54:54.competition. I have put minute technique into place and I seem to

:54:54. > :55:01.be flying. Now I have had a competition I will go to the next

:55:01. > :55:05.one feeling more confident. I have worked with UK physios and I can

:55:05. > :55:09.push off my foot, which is a big thing in pole vault and I am

:55:09. > :55:17.working on that. It seems to be paying off and I feel I can go

:55:17. > :55:22.higher. Big man, you are in the team. It is great. I came to do a

:55:22. > :55:29.job and finished in the top two, I am going to the games and it is

:55:29. > :55:35.time for me to get on to the park's -- next part of my programme.

:55:35. > :55:43.what about people who have helped you on the way? It is unbelievable.

:55:43. > :55:46.Not many people would have backed me in 2010. I have to thank the

:55:46. > :55:50.people who have supported me. I will hope for the do them justice

:55:50. > :55:55.this summer. You played rugby and thought he would change to

:55:55. > :56:00.athletics, that was a good decision. It is paying off. There is more to

:56:00. > :56:06.do. I am not the sort of person to be satisfied with what has happened

:56:06. > :56:12.so far. What does it mean to you to know that you will be competing?

:56:12. > :56:15.you told me when it was announced, I was not even in the sport, I did

:56:16. > :56:21.not know what pole vault was and I am so happy to get the opportunity

:56:21. > :56:26.to go to the Olympics. I cannot wait to keep competing. Many

:56:26. > :56:29.congratulations to you for today and greater things in a few weeks.

:56:29. > :56:33.We have a lot to tell you about We have a lot to tell you about

:56:33. > :56:37.from an athletics point of view and other sports. The European

:57:12. > :57:17.after cars, I think you know wattages. -- after us. I think you

:57:17. > :57:22.know what it is. How does the Great Britain team look to you one month

:57:22. > :57:27.from the games? They looked determined, they look ready. Some

:57:27. > :57:33.of them need to find more speed. The performances, the weather was

:57:34. > :57:38.not great, but they need to find more, but they can go into the

:57:38. > :57:44.Olympics confident. It has been interesting to see how competitive

:57:44. > :57:48.it is. They have battled and everybody he will be in the team
