:08:34. > :08:42.on to jump some big distances. at Old Trafford, a man presented
:08:42. > :08:48.with this shirt, Usain Bolt. His affect on the sport has been
:08:49. > :08:54.unquantifiable. He transcends the world of athletics. The reception
:08:54. > :09:02.we saw at Manchester United was exceptional. When he was announced
:09:02. > :09:06.to the crowd, they adored him. He is a world sports staff. The first

:09:25. > :09:34.feeling before, how different has this one been for you? This one was
:09:34. > :09:43.amazing. I won in 2008. I did not know I would win. Coming to the
:09:43. > :09:49.championships, I felt so confident coming in. I was able mentally to
:09:49. > :09:57.prepare myself, and it worked. I crossed the finish line, but I
:09:57. > :10:04.wanted confirmation. I was so elated. When I saw my name up there,
:10:04. > :10:11.all that hard work and sacrifice I made that year, the motivation,
:10:11. > :10:19.everyone pushing me. It felt so surreal. I must -- it must give you
:10:19. > :10:25.an immense sense of pride, to do it twice. Yes, I am so happy, to be
:10:25. > :10:30.part of that club, only two ladies who have done it before. Jamaica,
:10:30. > :10:38.right in the mix. I am really excited. It is a time when
:10:38. > :10:43.everybody is so focused on male domination, records, but we are
:10:43. > :10:51.right in there. We don't always get the attention. A little reminder
:10:51. > :10:57.that they don't have it all their own way! They are doing wonders but
:10:57. > :11:02.I am right behind you! When it comes to 2016, hopefully I will be
:11:02. > :11:10.in great shape to defend my title. To be called a Olympic champion
:11:10. > :11:16.again, it feels really good. Last year I lost my World Championship
:11:16. > :11:26.crown. That comes round every two years, hopefully I'll get another
:11:26. > :11:32.
:11:32. > :11:36.peak performance at the right time, at two consecutive Olympic Games is
:11:36. > :11:42.a monumental achievement in itself. Athletes train but you never know
:11:42. > :11:46.whether you hit your peak but a right time. We talk about Usain
:11:46. > :11:52.Bolt, Yohan Blake, what she has done for female athletes is
:11:52. > :11:57.fantastic. Double Olympic champion, who would have imagined after her
:11:57. > :12:03.season in 2011. She is coming here consistently in the form, in great
:12:03. > :12:08.shape. A full house at the Alexander Stadium, they sold this
:12:08. > :12:11.out weeks ago, not surprisingly, this is the first live race we are
:12:11. > :12:17.showing you, in the company of Steve Cram.
:12:17. > :12:27.Good afternoon, everybody. The skies overhead are brightening up.
:12:27. > :12:42.

:13:22. > :13:30.getting a good reception. Training Recorded a personal best this year.
:13:30. > :13:40.Then, the Olympic champion, Hally- Ann Fraser-Pryce, wearing a natty
:13:40. > :13:48.gold ribbon in her hair! And, why not?
:13:48. > :13:58.Gloria Asumnu, from Nigeria. She is in lane five, the African 200
:13:58. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:03.metres champion. Simpson of Jamaica, in lane six.
:14:04. > :14:10.Former world champion, Lauryn Williams from the United States.
:14:11. > :14:14.She ran in the American relay team, not in the final, but she still
:14:14. > :14:24.took a medal, helping them through the heats.
:14:24. > :15:02.
:15:02. > :15:08.will go through, and there will be start. Look at the Jamaican, powers
:15:08. > :15:15.through the first 15, just relaxing now, as the others chase down for
:15:15. > :15:21.second and third. Bailey certainly might have nicked it at the end.
:15:21. > :15:26.And Gloria Asumnu there. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce really only ran about
:15:26. > :15:33.50 metres and cruised in as the others chased her down P She has
:15:33. > :15:36.had such a cracking here, and I think, obviously we talk about Bolt
:15:36. > :15:39.and Blake. The women's Jamaican team, the year she had last year,
:15:39. > :15:49.she would have been worried at the beginning of the season. I am sure
:15:49. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:02.she is delighted the way it has back in to great form. She has
:16:02. > :16:08.worked very hard to be in this position. To time it so well, that
:16:08. > :16:11.you end up being so good, at the Olympic year, it is great to see.
:16:11. > :16:15.Electric start is what we expect to see. She delivers that for us,
:16:15. > :16:19.because she has such a great start, when you are in this type of
:16:19. > :16:23.company, you can afford to cruise, so when you said she ran for 50
:16:23. > :16:28.metre, I doubt that, I think it is about 35, when you look at this now.
:16:29. > :16:35.Out of the blocks again, as I said. She is explosive. Very powerful.
:16:35. > :16:39.Gets into her running and she will pop her head up. There she goes,
:16:39. > :16:43.she completely relaxes, shoulders drop a bit. Arms, they don't pump
:16:43. > :16:51.as fast or as hard. She can literally just cruise through. With
:16:51. > :16:55.a little head wind there, minus 1.2. She will be happy with that.
:16:55. > :17:01.can cruise. She is talking with can cruise. She is talking with
:17:01. > :17:05.Phil. Cruising home, took it easy you had to watch to make sure you
:17:06. > :17:11.qualified. I mean, just to come here and get to the next round, as
:17:11. > :17:15.easy as possible, so, I am looking forward to the finals. It is hot,
:17:15. > :17:18.which is nice. And the crowd is excited, so I am excited to be here
:17:18. > :17:27.for the first time. What about the reception you got from the crowd?
:17:27. > :17:35.It was amazing, I was all, I was grateful to the commentator for
:17:35. > :17:40.announcing. We look forward to announcing. We look forward to
:17:40. > :17:43.seeing the final. Thank you. It was close. Bailey nipped in first. It
:17:43. > :17:53.doesn't matter, it is only the heats. Gloria Asumnu hanging
:17:53. > :18:11.
:18:11. > :18:18.foreign the first spot. So fastest of javelin throwing in London a
:18:18. > :18:22.couple of weeks ago, to retain her Olympic title. She was brilliant.
:18:22. > :18:31.It is easy to forget what a good athlete she is, and following in
:18:32. > :18:41.the footsteps of her mentor and coach, who had tremendous battles
:18:42. > :18:42.
:18:42. > :18:50.with Steve Backley, She has one more Olympic title to do to match.
:18:50. > :18:56.The double Olympic champion and from one to another, from
:18:56. > :19:05.Kazakhstan the first Kazakh athlete to win a title. Here she goes. In
:19:05. > :19:15.the first round, tal, rangey. Not the smoothest. That will take the
:19:15. > :19:27.
:19:27. > :19:37.lead. It tends to gust up round the back of the stand. She does
:19:37. > :19:41.
:19:41. > :19:46.account in the triple jump with account in the triple jump with
:19:46. > :19:49.14.34. We saw Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce a few minutes ago. Her great
:19:49. > :19:56.rival Carmelita Jeter goes in the second semifinal. 32-year-old but
:19:56. > :20:00.still one of the most graceful athletes on the circuit. One of the
:20:00. > :20:06.great imnoofpblgs Olympic Games was your face as you crossed the line
:20:06. > :20:14.after the four by 100, world record, the joy, can you reflect on that?
:20:15. > :20:22.had an amazing Olympic, I came home with a full package. Bronze, gold,
:20:22. > :20:27.silver. My first Olympic, three medal, -- medals. You can't ask for
:20:27. > :20:34.anything better. I crossed that finish line and I was just
:20:34. > :20:40.screaming. I couldn't stop. I was like "Ah, ah." I thought do I smile,
:20:40. > :20:43.scream, hug somebody, who is round me, somebody give me a hug. So I
:20:43. > :20:48.remember saying this world record can't be broken, nobody is touching
:20:48. > :20:54.this, and so when I crossed the finish line and I saw that clock my
:20:54. > :20:58.initial reaction was what? What? We did it! It was just an epic moment.
:20:58. > :21:02.You got that great head to go going with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, which
:21:02. > :21:07.is fantastic for the sport. You are not shying away from each other.
:21:07. > :21:12.You know what, we are trying to bring track and field for the women
:21:12. > :21:15.back up, you know, sometimes like I keep saying we are not getting the
:21:15. > :21:20.acknowledgement we should be getting, or we are getting pushed
:21:20. > :21:25.under the rug. We line up every week bg we are trying to pave the
:21:25. > :21:29.way for the young girls sitting at home wants to be us, you know, we
:21:29. > :21:34.are working for ourselves now, but we are also working to make sure
:21:34. > :21:41.the ones under us are getting everything they deserve as well.
:21:41. > :21:45.That is a great attitude. You have had a cheetah named after you?
:21:45. > :21:49.as the Smithsonian and it is called calm lie ta. It is kind of hot to
:21:49. > :21:54.have a cheetah named after you. I wish I could take it home! I wish
:21:54. > :21:57.it didn't get any bigger. If you could give it a shot and it stays
:21:57. > :22:03.that teeny tiny, that would be great. Everyone knows I love cats,
:22:03. > :22:07.I have five. Me getting a cheetah named after he was perfect. It is
:22:07. > :22:15.fantastic. I didn't realise you have five cats. I am the cat lady
:22:15. > :22:19.of the frabg. That is fantastic. She is 32. A lot of the athletes
:22:19. > :22:23.are 30 plus. So what does that say about the direction that sprinting
:22:23. > :22:28.is going? You will find over the last few years we have had more
:22:28. > :22:37.women older, running, you know. It is not unusual that women can run
:22:37. > :22:40.quick into their 30s, 35, you know. But that rivalry between Jeter and
:22:40. > :22:45.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is legendary this season. Nobody has
:22:45. > :22:49.been able to come close to those two girls this year. Jeter in
:22:49. > :22:53.particular, when an athlete decides it is time to make that move, to be
:22:53. > :23:00.focused, like she has, maybe two or three years ago, then, they really
:23:00. > :23:10.do turn on the power. She is a classic example of that. Let us go
:23:10. > :23:13.
:23:13. > :23:18.Into the Third Round of the women's javelin. This is the European
:23:18. > :23:25.champion. The first year of the European Championships taking place
:23:25. > :23:30.every two years, same as the Olympic year this year. It will be
:23:30. > :23:38.in Zurich 2014. She failed to qualify in London as she did in
:23:38. > :23:43.Beijing four years ago. I have to say it was a very surprised athlete
:23:43. > :23:49.who won the world title. She had high hopes of the Olympics but it
:23:49. > :23:59.wasn't to be. In second place but improved. The athletes ready for
:23:59. > :24:13.
:24:13. > :24:23.this second semifinal of the B races in the diamond league but
:24:23. > :24:24.
:24:24. > :24:32.it was a very slow time. British record holder still of course.
:24:32. > :24:39.Mikele Barber of the USA. 11.13 she has run this year. Myriam Soumare,
:24:39. > :24:49.of France, surprise winner of the European 200 metre title. She made
:24:49. > :24:49.
:24:50. > :24:53.vast improvements in that race. And Carmelita Jeter. Her rivalry with
:24:53. > :25:00.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce really has been one of the highlights of this
:25:00. > :25:05.year's women's track and field programme. Blessing Okagbare,
:25:05. > :25:10.Olympic finalist, she finished in eighth place. She ran so well in
:25:10. > :25:19.the heats in the semi, noidge ra had high hopes of a medallist but
:25:19. > :25:28.it wasn't to be on that occasion. - - Nigeria. Charonda Williams of the
:25:28. > :25:37.USA. She is down to 11.13. Anyika Onuora, of Great Britain. 11.31 is
:25:37. > :25:43.her best this season, but she has run faster. And finally, welly
:25:43. > :25:49.wells of the USA, taking a rare outings over the 100 metres flat.
:25:49. > :25:57.She was the Olympic bronze medallist at the 100 metre hurdless,
:25:57. > :26:01.she will surely revise her lifetime best. -- hurdles. The fastest time
:26:01. > :26:08.we have seen this afternoon was in heat one, 11.35 seconds. Very
:26:08. > :26:18.comfortable indeed. And the first three, and the two fastest will
:26:18. > :26:41.
:26:41. > :26:46.progress through to the final. could be I don't know -- Blessing
:26:46. > :26:51.Okagbare. That is where the camera has gone. This athlete is surely
:26:51. > :26:55.destined to beat the African record. It looked as though it was the
:26:55. > :27:00.athlete in lane five. Vingsfrpblg I think you are right Paul. Let us
:27:00. > :27:05.see what they decide though. It is important that the marksman does
:27:05. > :27:10.his job. He will go and have a quick chat with the starter. Look
:27:10. > :27:15.at the timings, reaction timings, then they will make the decision.
:27:15. > :27:22.Disappointing, there is an athlete who has won in Monaco this year at
:27:23. > :27:27.the diamond league. Won in London in fact. And it is goodbye to
:27:27. > :27:34.Blessing Okagbare. She is looking a bit bemused but it has just been
:27:34. > :27:38.announced the athlete in lane five has gone. And that is a big
:27:38. > :27:44.disappointment for the spectators. A head-to-head between Jeter,
:27:44. > :27:48.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Blessing Okagbare and whoever else qualifies
:27:48. > :27:54.us one of the tasty feasts of this athletics meeting here today.
:27:54. > :27:58.Disappointment for the Nigerian. She is eliminated. So now we have
:27:58. > :28:08.Douglas, basher, Myriam Soumare, Jeter, nobody in lane five.
:28:08. > :28:28.
:28:28. > :28:32.Williams, Anyika Onuora and Wells. smoothly. Chased by Myriam Soumare.
:28:32. > :28:37.But look at Carmelita Jeter. She is a class apart from everybody.
:28:37. > :28:44.Strolls through the line. And it could have been Williams who got
:28:44. > :28:54.the second. Maybe Myriam Soumare this third but 11.01. Sh made it
:28:54. > :28:54.
:28:54. > :28:59.look very ooze -- easy.. What a run. I was patching -- watching her, she
:28:59. > :29:04.had an average start but it is a heat so it is not necessary. I felt
:29:04. > :29:12.she was watching the clock, she decided to cruise, then she thought
:29:12. > :29:15.I am running quite quickly, let us see if we can -- we can pick it up.
:29:15. > :29:19.Nothing spectacular, it is about qualification. She switched off now.
:29:19. > :29:23.I think somewhere round Hoare she looks at the clock and thinks I'm
:29:23. > :29:33.going all right. She picks up her knees a bit. Drives for the line.
:29:33. > :29:36.She is 11.01. Let us watch here. important bit. Nice knee lift. You
:29:36. > :29:41.expect that. She is well drilled. Fantastic running. Who is your
:29:41. > :29:47.money on in the final? It was Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce got the
:29:47. > :29:52.Olympic title, then Carmelita Jeter came back strongly in Lausanne,
:29:52. > :29:56.didn't she. They virtually dead heated but the victory was given to
:29:56. > :30:02.Carmelita Jeter. Here she looks great. Beautiful runner, and I
:30:03. > :30:05.guess she can, she can tell us how guess she can, she can tell us how
:30:05. > :30:09.she feels. Thank you Colin. Watching yourself back on the big
:30:09. > :30:12.screen, are you looking what you are seeing? Yes, I went to work on
:30:12. > :30:16.a couple of things in the first round. I think I worked on what I
:30:16. > :30:19.needed to work on, so the final will be a great run, you have
:30:19. > :30:23.myself, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, so it is going to be a good race.
:30:23. > :30:27.about the crowd, the welcome you got? Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce talked
:30:27. > :30:31.about it. There is an added air because of what you did at the
:30:31. > :30:36.Olympics. I am welcome here, that is why I always return, you return
:30:36. > :30:39.to places you feel comfortable at and loved. I always come to the
:30:39. > :30:49.meets here in the UK because you take care of me so well. That is
:30:49. > :31:16.
:31:16. > :31:26.good to hear. We will see you in places. New re macro -- Onuora may
:31:26. > :31:30.
:31:30. > :31:34.Theatre chairman of Birchfield Harriers, this is their very enough.
:31:34. > :31:40.Did all this excess Great Britain have, not just in athletics, has
:31:40. > :31:46.that had a knock-on effect fear? do an induction at every six weeks.
:31:46. > :31:52.Normally 35 children. We had 150 last weekend. That has been
:31:52. > :31:58.repeated all over the country, a massive response. Last week, I was
:31:58. > :32:05.satay ladies Rowing Club, with Mo Farah. They said they had 81 in
:32:05. > :32:11.turn up. They said, they need coaches, they need boats. It is all
:32:11. > :32:21.very well an avalanche of potential players, but you need the
:32:21. > :32:22.
:32:22. > :32:31.infrastructure. We started our project when we knew about the
:32:31. > :32:36.Olympics. We needed to get the coaching infrastructure in place.
:32:36. > :32:40.Since May, we have been working towards that. One of the great
:32:40. > :32:48.things is keeping people. There will be a surge of enthusiasm
:32:48. > :32:52.initially. But, when the weather turns, autumn, do you have the
:32:53. > :32:57.infrastructure? Is there the will to keep these new enthusiasts
:32:57. > :33:01.interested? There is certainly the well. The infrastructure is getting
:33:01. > :33:11.better. It is down to a good infrastructure and community and
:33:11. > :33:16.volunteers behind the scenes. Not just the coaches. There is
:33:16. > :33:21.definitely the passion. As much as the public are inspired, the kids
:33:21. > :33:26.already in the sport are inspired. Lots of people have come back into
:33:26. > :33:31.the sport saying, I want to do this again, not just as an athlete, but
:33:31. > :33:36.giving something back, to coach. The sport needs as many people on
:33:36. > :33:42.the track and off the track. In specific terms, do the kids who
:33:42. > :33:51.came along last weekend, what do they want to do? Long jump? Long
:33:51. > :33:56.Distance? It has been pleasing this time. In years gone by, they have
:33:56. > :34:03.wanted to imitate their hero. This time it is a generic response, to
:34:03. > :34:09.enjoy the sport. Keep it going. I mentioned Greg Rutherford, four
:34:09. > :34:17.gold medals which included one for this man.
:34:17. > :34:27.COMMENTATOR: Greg Rutherford leads at the moment, can he live up to
:34:27. > :34:31.
:34:31. > :34:39.this atmosphere? It is big. Greg Rutherford is the Olympic champion!
:34:39. > :34:45.What a moment. What a moment. I haven't stopped in the last three
:34:45. > :34:49.weeks, I can't believe it has been three weeks since I won. I haven't
:34:49. > :34:54.had time to sit down and think about it, it has been insane.
:34:54. > :34:59.Talking to new people. Going on different shows. It has been
:34:59. > :35:03.fantastic, I have really enjoyed myself, but manic. What do you
:35:03. > :35:11.remember of the actual night? tried to think about that the other
:35:11. > :35:18.day. To be honest, I have blocked out the actual jumps themselves. I
:35:18. > :35:26.went back and watched one Lord two, to remember that moment. -- one or
:35:26. > :35:32.two. It was relief after the last jump, that rush of emotion. And,
:35:32. > :35:37.not knowing what to do with myself. No idea what to say or do. Emotion
:35:37. > :35:41.is an incredible thing, especially in that scenario. All of a sudden,
:35:41. > :35:46.you have everything you've ever wanted. To try to comprehend that
:35:46. > :35:52.is still hard now. I seem to remember you grabbed a handful of
:35:52. > :35:58.sand, why did you do that? I am not entirely sure, it's not like I have
:35:58. > :36:02.done it in other places. But, for me, it was the most special moment.
:36:02. > :36:07.Probably the most amazing moment of my career I am ever going to have.
:36:07. > :36:12.There is never going to be another London Olympics in my life. And, to
:36:12. > :36:17.win it there, it was that extra bit special, I wanted to take something
:36:17. > :36:22.special away with me. He can't take away the seats or the track. Only a
:36:22. > :36:26.bit of sand. Revenue go now, you'll get attention, you will be welcomed
:36:26. > :36:32.by another home crowd as a champion which will be special in its own
:36:32. > :36:42.way. The bratwurst competition post gains will be here, in the UK.
:36:42. > :36:43.
:36:43. > :36:47.in Birmingham as well -- the first competition post-Games. To be
:36:47. > :36:54.announced as the Olympic champion, in Birmingham, it is going to be
:36:54. > :36:59.really special. Greg Rutherford. Denise Lewis,
:36:59. > :37:09.gold-medallist from Sydney. How much is being a field gold medal,
:37:09. > :37:12.
:37:12. > :37:19.helped to sustain field events? is very important, there is always
:37:19. > :37:22.such attention on the track events alone. For me, it was brilliant to
:37:22. > :37:27.see. For youngsters who want to come into the sport, they realise,
:37:27. > :37:37.we have potential in so many more events. His was one of the best of
:37:37. > :37:46.
:37:46. > :37:52.the bunch. We have another race, packed this afternoon, which is
:37:53. > :38:02.great to see. A perfect view of the start of this women's 1,500m. A few
:38:03. > :38:18.
:38:18. > :38:28.withdrawals which we will talk has had to call an end to her
:38:28. > :38:40.
:38:40. > :38:45.finals and the Olympic Games. Hannah England, a real struggle
:38:45. > :38:52.after a cracking start to the year. She missed a fair bit of training.
:38:52. > :38:59.She wasn't in top form at the Games. But since she has run a very quick
:38:59. > :39:06.800, so expect her to enjoy this race. Zoe Buckman of Australia.
:39:06. > :39:12.For then, the former Olympic champion, Nancy Jebet Langat, who
:39:12. > :39:22.is coming back from injury. Weightman, who did so well to get
:39:22. > :39:26.
:39:26. > :39:30.to the final in the Olympics. Pierce, second behind Hannah
:39:30. > :39:35.England in that 800 in Austria, earlier in the week.
:39:35. > :39:42.Nine athletes, a very competitive field. There is no pacemaker so
:39:42. > :39:52.don't expect it to be particularly quick.
:39:52. > :39:52.
:39:52. > :39:56.A pity that Lisa isn't here, she has Achilles problems. Brendon, for
:39:56. > :40:05.the likes of Hannah England and Weightman, coming into this with
:40:05. > :40:09.different outlooks. Hannah England, tried to rescue something of a
:40:09. > :40:15.disappointing season. Wait man macro got anything she wanted out
:40:15. > :40:19.of the Olympics and will be enjoying the rest of her season.
:40:19. > :40:26.When we came here for the trials of the Olympic Games, Weightman
:40:26. > :40:31.announced herself as an Olympic class athlete. Hannah England,
:40:31. > :40:36.silver at the last World Championships. Sadly, her injury
:40:36. > :40:44.caused her to break down this season. She finds herself a
:40:44. > :40:53.reluctant leader in this race. She set a personal best last week, so
:40:53. > :41:00.the -- so she is trying to take something from this race. At the
:41:00. > :41:10.front, Hannah England. Going through the motions. Wait man macro
:41:10. > :41:25.
:41:25. > :41:29.has had a terrific season, a long tendon, which meant she missed
:41:29. > :41:33.training, and it knocked her confidence. She was in a position
:41:34. > :41:37.going into the Olympic Games, we know how quick she can be. Winning
:41:37. > :41:42.silver medal at the World Championship last year. In a
:41:42. > :41:52.tactical bases, as we are seeing here today, Hannah England will
:41:52. > :41:53.
:41:53. > :42:03.always be dangerous. -- tactical races. Approaching 800 metres in
:42:03. > :42:38.
:42:38. > :42:45.what have been very slow lap. -- field is beginning to move as they
:42:45. > :42:49.come down to the home straight to receive the bell, in 50m. On the
:42:49. > :42:54.inside, Hannah England. Running strongly now, this will be
:42:54. > :43:01.interesting. Laura, as in the championships a few weeks ago,
:43:01. > :43:11.takes off. Let us see what she has got. England Margaret did not want
:43:11. > :43:17.to relinquish the lead, she knows that is dangerous. England looks
:43:17. > :43:21.comfortable on the inside. Pierce will be dangerous, she is quick.
:43:21. > :43:28.The Kenyan is striking on the outside. Again, England has enough
:43:28. > :43:34.pace. This is exactly the sort of race she likes. Holding the kerb.
:43:34. > :43:41.Paced macro trying to attack from the outside. Now, England, has she
:43:41. > :43:48.got a bit of pace? The American on the upside. England, with that pace
:43:48. > :43:58.which we know is always there. Pierce, the American is going to
:43:58. > :43:58.
:43:58. > :44:02.get it. She beats the two British athletes. England, again, not quite
:44:02. > :44:06.able to produce the sort of performance which, last year, maybe
:44:06. > :44:16.at the beginning of this season, would have seen her win this race.
:44:16. > :44:24.
:44:24. > :44:28.The American, always dangers in a 200 metres to go. She put herself
:44:28. > :44:36.in the front. She has clearly been watching Mo Farah, which is what he
:44:36. > :44:46.did. At this point, she is trying to hold them on the inside. Now,
:44:46. > :44:47.
:44:47. > :44:50.Pierce is coming put it. At this point, slowing a little, Pierce
:44:50. > :44:58.quickly on the outside. At that point, Hannah England could have
:44:58. > :45:08.been second, but this time she wasn't able to do so. Grit and
:45:08. > :45:18.determination from Weightman. her coach, were you happy with
:45:18. > :45:19.
:45:19. > :45:23.Let us find out how they feel. Thanks your coach handing down to
:45:23. > :45:27.me. Always a strange experience. So you will be happy with that race,
:45:27. > :45:31.where you came strongly, but things to work on. You you can always
:45:31. > :45:36.improve all the time of. I am pleased with the way I ran the race.
:45:36. > :45:41.I tried to take it on. Maybe got a bit excited and pushed on too hard,
:45:41. > :45:46.but I am pleased to stay so strong down the home straight, to finish a
:45:46. > :45:51.close second to Anna Pierce. way the year has gone, give us an
:45:52. > :45:55.assessment? I am pleased. I can't ask for much more, achieved my goal
:45:55. > :45:59.of Olympic final. I am starting to be more competitive and learning
:45:59. > :46:03.how the race this kind of level of race, so I am pleased with it.
:46:03. > :46:06.Can't ask for any more. Got one more race and see how it goes.
:46:06. > :46:12.Hannah it is the kind of race you enjoy. You hit the front looking
:46:12. > :46:17.good, but you have had your problems this year, that when it
:46:17. > :46:22.came to the finish?S disappointed with the last 50
:46:22. > :46:26.metres. I have never led that much. I had to stay calm and hold it.
:46:26. > :46:31.It's a good experience the try something like that. As you draw to
:46:31. > :46:35.the season's end, because of frustration with injury, how do you
:46:35. > :46:39.assess your year? It is a failure because I didn't manage to make the
:46:39. > :46:43.Olympic final which was my goal, but it was out of my control. I
:46:43. > :46:51.felt I dealt well enough with the hand I got given. It is an amazing
:46:51. > :46:57.experience and hopefully it will help me. Thank you. Yes, I think
:46:57. > :47:01.women's 15hun metre running in Britain has made a good place,
:47:01. > :47:11.going forward. Laura Weightman taking second place behind Anna
:47:11. > :47:13.
:47:13. > :47:17.Pierce. Hannah England faded, 43 medallist are competing here
:47:17. > :47:23.today. 17 are gold lists and all the British medallists apart from
:47:23. > :47:27.Jess Ennis are taking part. It is one of the great dilemmas athletes
:47:27. > :47:33.have, about making the moment of -- most of it but not making too much
:47:34. > :47:37.of it and losing the sense of what they are about. Mo Farah and Greg
:47:37. > :47:42.have been delugeed by offers, it went in your situation, how hard is
:47:42. > :47:47.it to get the balance right in the immediate aftermath of the glory
:47:47. > :47:51.moment? The thing is, it is so important to enjoy the moment, and
:47:51. > :47:55.it is so important after years, not just months, years of preparation
:47:55. > :47:58.to come to this point, where you are eventually Olympic gold
:47:58. > :48:02.medallist, that you have to enjoy it, and you have to do the things
:48:02. > :48:07.you would like to do, but at the end of the day, the season isn't
:48:07. > :48:11.over, yes, they want to come here to Birmingham, say hi to the crowd
:48:11. > :48:15.and still put on a decent performance, it is not easy but
:48:15. > :48:21.there is an element of relaxation and we have seen that, people like
:48:21. > :48:24.Robbie Grabarz who is, you know enjoying the fame and the new
:48:24. > :48:29.British record, equaling the new British record, that he is still
:48:29. > :48:33.managing to jump really well. So, it depend on who you are. Jess is,
:48:33. > :48:40.you know enjoying relaxing more than she is wanting to compete
:48:40. > :48:43.right now. Does it depend not just on who you are but you you have
:48:43. > :48:47.surrounding you. Yes. Mo Farah has someone looking after him who is
:48:47. > :48:51.very experienced with the press and media. But it is very different.
:48:51. > :48:55.Denise won her medal as a multi- eventer. They don't really have the
:48:55. > :48:59.opportunity to show their faces, people who have won in the
:48:59. > :49:03.individual events are on the circuit. They have to keep their
:49:03. > :49:07.professional hat on and compete there is time for them to maximise
:49:07. > :49:15.in the commercial aspect. I hope they do it very well. We will see
:49:15. > :49:18.Greg Rutherford. You hope he has a decent jump. You don't want him sh
:49:18. > :49:21.linking off. I don't think that will happen. The crowds want to see
:49:21. > :49:25.him they want to say we were there, we were feeling what you were doing
:49:25. > :49:29.and appreciate what he is going to do today. I think he will jump well.
:49:29. > :49:33.We have a lady there, Christine Ohuruogu who knew about this four
:49:33. > :49:36.years ago, let us not forget there was immense performance by her in
:49:36. > :49:41.London. I think it was heroic. It has been described that way in
:49:41. > :49:45.loads of the press I have read, about her, and she did such a great
:49:45. > :49:52.job, getting that Silver Medal, in London. After what she has been
:49:52. > :49:57.through. It was fantastic, and again, sub 50 run, again, an
:49:57. > :50:02.immense run. It was sensational. It was nice for her to do it on her
:50:02. > :50:06.home yard. Even though she was disappointed. I think she felt she
:50:06. > :50:10.was good enough to take the gold medal. But a gold and silver in
:50:10. > :50:15.your life it is not bad. Who knows what she might achieve in Rio. Do
:50:15. > :50:19.you think she will be round?. to do with motivation, healthy body,
:50:19. > :50:24.she could well be. Here we are, Christine Ohuruogu and the rest of
:50:24. > :50:29.Christine Ohuruogu and the rest of the field with Steve Cram. I
:50:29. > :50:33.thought she did very well at the Olympic Games. A brief chat to her
:50:33. > :50:37.in Stockholm last week. She had come to terms with, wasn't she
:50:37. > :50:41.didn't win the gold medal, she had been thinking about that for such a
:50:41. > :50:47.long time and made a fantastic defence of her title. I think she
:50:47. > :50:50.can hold her head up very high indeed. She will be in lane four
:50:51. > :50:53.here. Nicola Sanders on the inside. Shane that Cox in lane two.
:50:53. > :50:58.Shericka Williams of Jamaica in three. Christine Ohuruogu, Deedee
:50:58. > :51:07.Trotter, the bronze medallist from the Olympic Games, and her team-
:51:07. > :51:11.mate Francena McCorory in six. Rosemary White and Natasha Hastings.
:51:11. > :51:20.Well difficult year for Nicola, went as a relay squad member, never
:51:20. > :51:26.got to run at the Games. Still, at the age of 30. Never quite been
:51:26. > :51:31.able to resurrect that because of injury problems. Shane that Cox as
:51:31. > :51:37.well. Hasn't -- Shana Cox, still not as quick as she would have
:51:37. > :51:44.liked this season. It was Olympic silver four years ago for Shericka
:51:44. > :51:53.Williams, this time it was a bronze in the relay. Jamaica taking bronze
:51:53. > :52:00.in the 4X400. Let us listen to the reception for Christine Ohuruogu.
:52:00. > :52:04.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE she said last week, you know, I have worked so
:52:04. > :52:10.hard for those Olympic game, I am going to enjoy the rest of the
:52:10. > :52:15.season. Try and run fast, and you can tell her demeanor. She is going
:52:15. > :52:19.to enjoy the last two three weeks of the season. Great year for
:52:19. > :52:27.Deedee Trotter though. Would not have been in most people's thoughts
:52:27. > :52:32.in terms of the medals a year ago, had a cracking 2012. 49.72 she ran.
:52:32. > :52:39.Francena McCorory. She is out in six. Gold medallist in the 4X400
:52:39. > :52:47.squad. Ff Rosemary White -- Rosemary Whyte. Made it through to
:52:47. > :52:57.the final. Finished eighth. And again, medallist in the relay. And
:52:57. > :52:57.
:52:57. > :53:07.Natasha Hastings on the outside. A bit of a theme going on today, with
:53:07. > :53:14.
:53:14. > :53:24.the hair today. Wait to see what Mo you are following what is going on
:53:24. > :53:24.
:53:24. > :53:34.with the diamond league, the final of this event is in Zurich. Don't
:53:34. > :53:43.
:53:43. > :53:49.forget you can see that live on BBC the first 200 the other night. She
:53:49. > :53:52.might think that that wasn't a good move for her. She has gone off
:53:52. > :53:58.quickly again down the back straight. She is up on Deedee
:53:58. > :54:00.Trotter. She is going past the American. Now got her sights on
:54:00. > :54:03.Francena McCorory, so Christine Ohuruogu really looking for a good
:54:04. > :54:07.time here, I am sure Shericka Williams starting to move up
:54:07. > :54:12.alongside her in lane three. This is the part c Christine has to work
:54:12. > :54:17.hard, sometimes she doesn't work as well through this 50 metre section.
:54:17. > :54:21.We know how strong she can be. Look at Rosemary Whyte who has gone well
:54:21. > :54:25.round the bend there. It is the Jamaican who leads it but Christine
:54:25. > :54:29.Ohuruogu with that famous finish. It won't be good enough this time,
:54:30. > :54:37.it will be Whyte who wins this. Christine Ohuruogu takings -- takes
:54:37. > :54:41.second. That is a season's best for Rosemary Whyte. Better than she was
:54:41. > :54:47.running at the Olympic Games, if she had run like that things might
:54:47. > :54:54.have worked out differently for her. Good performance from the Jamaican.
:54:54. > :54:56.You felt Christine got into a good and wasn't able to capitalise that
:54:56. > :55:04.on the bend. That is where Ross mare Whyte opened up the gap and
:55:04. > :55:09.wasn't to be caught in the home straight. Christine, as you say saw,
:55:09. > :55:14.attacked the first 200 metres and Deedee Trotter just outside her,
:55:14. > :55:17.who Christine beat for the silver medal in London was languishing
:55:17. > :55:22.here, coming into straight in about fourth or fifth. But Rosemary Whyte,
:55:22. > :55:26.hung on beautifully here, very strong in the home straight. A
:55:26. > :55:35.season's best for the athlete who finished eighth in the Olympic
:55:35. > :55:41.final. Very good run indeed. One of her best this year. Christine just
:55:41. > :55:45.lacked the zip through that third 100 metres. She couldn't gain any
:55:45. > :55:48.ground on the Jamaican outside her. Again, Christine Ohuruogu
:55:48. > :55:51.delighting the crowd here in Birmingham. Let us find out what
:55:51. > :55:55.Birmingham. Let us find out what she thinks about that run.
:55:55. > :56:01.Christine, you are good at analysing your own races, what do
:56:01. > :56:05.you think? I would have loved the win, but it is nice to come back
:56:05. > :56:09.and compete in Birmingham, compete in Britain again. I will leave the
:56:09. > :56:17.race, analyse it later, but great to be back here, the weather is
:56:17. > :56:22.great. It is a sold out event, so I am happy to be here. The Olympics
:56:22. > :56:26.captured everybody's attention. I hope it keeps on going I hope it
:56:26. > :56:30.does. I think sport has a unique quality of being able to unite
:56:30. > :56:34.everyone, I am glad the Olympics showed that. As for your
:56:34. > :56:37.performance there. On the night you said you were disappointed, but in
:56:37. > :56:42.time you would appreciate your silver, what is your assessment
:56:42. > :56:48.now? I was disappointed, because I wanted to win, I truly believed I
:56:48. > :56:52.could have won that. We don't train for second best, unfortunately.
:56:52. > :56:58.When I look back, to go two Olympics and come back with two
:56:58. > :57:01.medals is not something that is easy to do I am happy my perv veer
:57:01. > :57:10.rans and faith kept me together and helped me to get a medal in my home
:57:10. > :57:17.town. The crowd showed they are proud of you. Thank you very much.
:57:17. > :57:21.As the years go by she will rate that medal higher than she does at
:57:21. > :57:31.that medal higher than she does at the moment. A good season for
:57:31. > :57:36.
:57:36. > :57:46.competition. No improvement on the lead from Olga Rypakova, the
:57:46. > :57:49.
:57:49. > :57:54.Olympic champion, 14 .34 in round one. Kidge berly William, sixth in
:57:55. > :58:04.the Olympic Games. Competing for Jamaica. Looks like it could be
:58:04. > :58:14.round about Olga Rypakova's 14.34. -- Kimberley. No woman has jumped
:58:14. > :58:38.
:58:38. > :58:48.over 15 metres legally since 14.37, into a narrow lead. Another
:58:48. > :58:50.
:58:50. > :59:00.athlete suffering from post Olympic blues. Christina Obergfoll., that a
:59:00. > :59:01.
:59:01. > :59:06.big improvement for the silver medallist. Couldn't quite get a
:59:06. > :59:11.hold of it at the end. Just drifting a little bit wierbgsd and
:59:11. > :59:21.she wasn't totally on balance at the end either. Certainly in her
:59:21. > :59:25.
:59:25. > :59:35.63.19 her best and she moves into second place. Confirmation of a win,
:59:35. > :59:36.
:59:36. > :59:46.another win for Barbora Spotakova. Christina Obergfoll, same one-two
:59:46. > :59:50.
:59:50. > :59:54.as in London then Rebryk in third. Carol Saldinack. Se has had four
:59:54. > :00:00.fouls so far. In a normal competition she would be out. But
:00:00. > :00:05.just eight so she continues on. A little smile. She knows that is
:00:05. > :00:15.better. That world lead just tantalisingly one centimetre short
:00:15. > :00:26.
:00:26. > :00:33.of 15 metre, the world record. really need to rock, heel to toe,
:00:33. > :00:43.to maintain your momentum. A lot of women's triple jumpers do not have
:00:43. > :01:06.
:01:07. > :01:11.that rocking motion to maintain Rutherford in London. We all
:01:11. > :01:21.thought maybe he could get a medal, we weren't sure if he could become
:01:21. > :01:35.
:01:35. > :01:40.She hits it hard. Over 20 metres comfortably. If you're watching the
:01:40. > :01:46.Diamond League from Lausanne the other day, you'll know that she has
:01:46. > :01:49.not been awarded the gold medal for the Olympic Games yet. Ostapchuk of
:01:49. > :01:54.Belarus had been disqualified a few days earlier following a positive
:01:54. > :02:04.dope test. So, she is now the double Olympic champion, and she
:02:04. > :02:10.
:02:10. > :02:15.women's 400m hurdles, a top class event, the Olympic champion,
:02:16. > :02:25.bronze-medallist. Perri Shakes- Drayton is running very well. Here
:02:26. > :02:44.
:02:44. > :02:50.champion from Helsinki a few weeks ago. She only made the semi-final
:02:50. > :02:57.in the London Olympics, disappointment for the Russian.
:02:57. > :03:02.Elodie Ouedraogo, of Belgium. A good Flat runner. Good 400m hurdler
:03:02. > :03:09.as well. Perri Shakes-Drayton. She ran a
:03:09. > :03:18.third in Lausanne last week, in 53.83, the second quickest ever.
:03:18. > :03:28.She is in good shape as -- and all the strength is on the outside. In
:03:28. > :03:37.
:03:37. > :03:47.4th place in the Olympic final, at holder, and bronze-medallist from
:03:47. > :03:53.
:03:53. > :03:59.Antyukh. She ran the 6th fastest time ever to win the Olympic title.
:03:59. > :04:09.But, since then, in Lausanne, she had a shocker, and she finished in
:04:09. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:22.Republic, European silver-medallist. That was in her very first year as
:04:22. > :04:32.a 400m hurdler. Eilidh Child, of Great Britain, the
:04:32. > :04:40.
:04:40. > :04:44.Diamond League at Crystal Palace. Seven in the semi-finals in the
:04:44. > :04:49.Olympic Games, she is on the outside. There is the Olympic
:04:49. > :04:56.champion, the fastest woman in the world this year. Perri Shakes-
:04:56. > :05:02.Drayton, three lanes inside her. The Perri Shakes-Drayton in
:05:02. > :05:11.Lausanne got off to a terrific start. Certainly a couple of lanes
:05:11. > :05:15.outside her, Kaliese Spencer, is chasing down Zuzana Hejnova. Perri
:05:15. > :05:19.Shakes-Drayton has got a lot of distance to make up on Kaliese
:05:20. > :05:25.Spencer outside her, and Zuzana Hejnova. What has Natalya Antyukh
:05:25. > :05:32.got left? Kaliese Spencer is leading. Perri Shakes-Drayton is
:05:32. > :05:36.coming on strongly now. Chasing everybody down. Kaliese Spencer is
:05:36. > :05:44.in the lead. Zuzana Hejnova, Natalya Antyukh, her challenge has
:05:44. > :05:48.gone. What has Perri Shakes-Drayton got left? The Jamaican is leading.
:05:48. > :05:56.Perri Shakes-Drayton cleared the last hurdle well. But, Kaliese
:05:56. > :06:03.Spencer gets it. In the end, that was a very good time for the
:06:03. > :06:09.Jamaican, a track record here in Birmingham. Not her fastest this
:06:09. > :06:13.season, but very close indeed. That was a well-judged race, Colin
:06:13. > :06:18.Jackson? What I like to see about Perri
:06:18. > :06:22.Shakes-Drayton is she has learnt this event very well, and she is
:06:22. > :06:26.enjoying her running. She doesn't panic, she sticks to her stride
:06:26. > :06:33.pattern and technique, she has faith in that now and it really
:06:33. > :06:38.shows. She doesn't panic, she works, the right time and right place.
:06:38. > :06:44.This puts her in great stead Aborigines final barrier, to attack
:06:44. > :06:50.it and have run well. Full of running, taking second place. A
:06:50. > :06:55.very good performance. A mature performance. What I love about her,
:06:55. > :06:59.she has learned this events very well indeed. She will go from
:06:59. > :07:05.strength to strength, she will be dangers at the World Championships,
:07:05. > :07:10.as long as she stays injury-free and believes in herself. The lady
:07:10. > :07:15.outside her, Kaliese Spencer from Jamaica. I was tipping her two
:07:15. > :07:19.years ago to run off with the Olympic title. But, injury
:07:19. > :07:29.unfortunately robbed her of success. She is running very well this
:07:29. > :07:29.
:07:29. > :07:39.season. What is wonderful, at seeing Perri Shakes-Drayton doing
:07:39. > :07:40.
:07:40. > :07:49.Showing great consistency, a fine performance in Lausanne, and second
:07:49. > :07:57.here. It was good to run today. It wasn't as fast as Lausanne, on
:07:57. > :08:03.Thursday. But, it was close, it felt good. I wanted to end this
:08:03. > :08:08.season on a high. It is looking that way. One more in Brussels to
:08:08. > :08:16.do. Then, I can rest. What is the biggest lesson you have learned
:08:16. > :08:23.from this season? The biggest lesson? I know, in my sport
:08:23. > :08:26.anything can happen. Every race is different. And, obviously,
:08:26. > :08:31.disappointment in the Olympics. I have put it behind me, there's
:08:31. > :08:36.nothing I can do, except come back a stronger. And hopefully for it
:08:36. > :08:46.not to happen again. You have certainly shown that in these
:08:46. > :09:07.
:09:07. > :09:12.shot put. Michelle Carter of the technique. I don't think she will
:09:12. > :09:18.challenge the leading throat of Adams at 20.52, that is really
:09:18. > :09:24.colossal. Looking at the meeting record, it is held by Ostapchuk,
:09:24. > :09:29.the woman who was disqualified in London. It would be great issue
:09:29. > :09:39.could beat that record. Let us be honest. Michelle Carter. Into
:09:39. > :09:49.
:09:49. > :09:55.vault. This is the Olympic champion, her first attempt. A first-time
:09:55. > :10:05.clearance was enough to take first place. Disappointing for Julia
:10:05. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:32.Bleasdale, suffering from the after silver, of Cuba. -- silver again.
:10:32. > :10:52.
:10:52. > :10:57.mustn't forget the disappointment in the London Olympics. An American
:10:57. > :11:00.Olympic champion. But one or two athletes in the world cannot
:11:00. > :11:10.challenge and I really do believe that, next year, and in the years
:11:10. > :11:18.
:11:18. > :11:28.to come, this youngster can go all disqualified, she did not finish in
:11:28. > :11:29.
:11:29. > :11:34.have some news for you, Perri Shakes-Drayton has been declared as
:11:35. > :11:37.the winner of the 400m hurdles. Kaliese Spencer, who crossed the
:11:37. > :11:43.line in first place has been disqualified, did you spot anything,
:11:43. > :11:47.Colin Jackson? The anything I can think of is that she was trailing
:11:47. > :11:52.but I am not sure exactly which hurdle that would have been. That
:11:52. > :11:57.is if you pull your trail led around the barrier and you do not
:11:57. > :12:01.actually play it. Off on one of the corners, at the beginning or the
:12:01. > :12:05.second band -- second bend, that would have made the difference.
:12:05. > :12:11.That is exactly why she has been disqualified. Perri Shakes-Drayton
:12:11. > :12:16.wins, she beat the Olympic champion, and she beats Irina Davydova, the
:12:16. > :12:20.European champion as well. A great win for her. Let's hope that sets
:12:20. > :12:25.her up for winter training. She has a couple of races left this year,
:12:25. > :12:29.the best of luck to her. She will be in Brussels. That will be a
:12:29. > :12:39.really good eating, Friday week, you can watch back on BBC
:12:39. > :12:47.
:12:47. > :12:57.television. A great victory for her field gathering for the men's
:12:57. > :13:03.
:13:03. > :13:13.steeplechase. -- you can see. Not the strongest field we have seen in
:13:13. > :13:43.
:13:43. > :13:50.incidentally, so it will be interesting to see if the likes of
:13:51. > :14:00.Mutai will go out. Kenya has so much talent. And some really good
:14:01. > :14:08.
:14:08. > :14:17.youngsters. Jairus Kipchoge Birech, in the Olympic Games, in anything.
:14:17. > :14:23.A disappointing Games for Morocco. Youcef Abdi. Representing Australia.
:14:23. > :14:27.34. Former 1,500m runner, bronze medal in that event in the
:14:27. > :14:34.Commonwealth Games in Manchester 10 years ago, was that really 10 years
:14:34. > :14:44.ago? Wall it macro -- of Rob Mullett, he
:14:44. > :14:58.
:14:58. > :15:05.runs in the States, trains in the outside of the track. The top bend,
:15:05. > :15:15.so they are rung more than 400 metres each lap. Therefore when you
:15:15. > :15:17.
:15:17. > :15:22.see, if you are an expert you would know. The two Kenyan young men here,
:15:22. > :15:26.Birech and Mutai have started quickly, or fairly quickly. I was
:15:26. > :15:36.saying Brendan this year in particular, they have loads of
:15:36. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:43.great runners, the likes och of -- the likes of some of the Kenyan,
:15:43. > :15:50.these are teenage guys who are already looking as though they are
:15:50. > :15:53.ready to take over. You are right. If you look at this year's results
:15:53. > :15:57.in the Olympic Games only two gold medals and there has been an
:15:57. > :16:01.inquiry launched in Kenya, because they have been dominating the
:16:01. > :16:06.middle and long distance running for four or five years. They got
:16:06. > :16:11.six in Beijing and only two, one in the steeple chai, kem boy winning
:16:12. > :16:19.that and the other was the great run in the 800 metres rud sha
:16:19. > :16:24.winning in world record time. The Government have launch an inquiry.
:16:24. > :16:27.They they say they shouldn't allow foreigners to come an train, but it
:16:27. > :16:32.is interesting to see already, they are back there, they are worried
:16:32. > :16:36.about their future, they are saying Kenya is a disopinions -- distance
:16:36. > :16:39.running nation, so you are right, they have a lot of youngster coming
:16:39. > :16:49.through, they seem to have so many, they don't have so many of the
:16:49. > :16:53.
:16:53. > :17:01.great ones they used to have. -- Valerie Adams, a massive 20.52
:17:01. > :17:11.in the first round. One record she has broken, is the stadium record,
:17:11. > :17:16.
:17:16. > :17:21.of 20.27. That was set in 1985. Quite something. As is this athlete.
:17:21. > :17:28.Valerie Adams. Reallyout standing, a great tragedy she lost the chance
:17:28. > :17:38.to stand on the top of the podium in London. An outstanding ser --
:17:38. > :17:43.series. This is Cleopatra Borel. 18 metres and 30 in the Third Round,
:17:43. > :17:53.another athlete who missed out. She didn't make the final. She finished
:17:53. > :17:53.
:17:53. > :18:03.in 13th place. It was top 12 that made that final. So so many
:18:03. > :18:08.
:18:08. > :18:18.ramification of the original winner's cheating. Natalya
:18:18. > :18:20.
:18:20. > :18:23.Mikhnevich. A bit of this year not over 20 metres. That was a no throw
:18:23. > :18:30.there for Natalya Mikhnevich. At the moment she is down in sixth
:18:30. > :18:34.place. Back with this member's steeplechase, in case icon fused
:18:34. > :18:40.people earlier on, Sigueni the Moroccan to the back was bronze
:18:40. > :18:46.medallist in the world juniors, not in the Olympic Games. It has been a
:18:46. > :18:51.long summer for all of us! These two are putting on a show. They
:18:52. > :19:01.went through the first 1,000 metres in 2.46. For these two it is fairly
:19:02. > :19:05.
:19:05. > :19:12.standard fare. It is disappointing. James Wilkinson hasn't run, who
:19:12. > :19:17.finished ahead of Rob Mullett watch what the Americans are doing. You
:19:17. > :19:22.still feel in Britain they have to be people out there who could do
:19:22. > :19:26.well at this. It has always been the poor relations, and it doesn't
:19:26. > :19:32.have to be like that, there is no need for it to be like that. We
:19:32. > :19:37.have athletes who are good at 1500 metres and 5,000 metre, we have
:19:37. > :19:43.athletes who can run who aren't good enough to make the team, why
:19:43. > :19:49.not give it a try? Medals come in this event. There is Britain's
:19:49. > :19:53.leading contender, Rob Mullett. I used to train with his father many
:19:53. > :19:58.years ago. Nice to see him coming through and getting better this
:19:58. > :20:04.year, as we watch the two Kenyans, the two class athletes running
:20:04. > :20:09.together, clear of the field. Not as quick as they run in the past,
:20:09. > :20:14.not quick enough to be competitive here today. It looks like it is an
:20:14. > :20:19.easy run. It looks like settling the pace, setting off, and doing
:20:19. > :20:24.the business. Well, it is a lonely road for the rest of them. There is
:20:24. > :20:29.only seven of them now, we have lost, I don't know whether I upset
:20:30. > :20:33.the Moroccan, which I shouldn't have done because I was elevated
:20:33. > :20:38.him from the world junior bronze medallist to Olympic bronze
:20:38. > :20:43.medallist. He has dropped out, I can't see him. Birech is leading
:20:43. > :20:47.with Mutai trying to hang on to the 19-year-old. Two laps to go. These
:20:48. > :20:54.two have been locked together, Lagat their team-mate a long way
:20:54. > :20:59.behind. He is ahead of Cabral for third place at the moment. There he
:20:59. > :21:09.is. That is Sigueni. Whether he hit the water jump, sorry, I didn't see
:21:09. > :21:13.
:21:13. > :21:20.it. Hopefully he is OK. When you see the Kenians run a steeplechase
:21:20. > :21:24.like this. The 19-year-old has set the space -- pace. Mutai hasn't
:21:24. > :21:30.shared any of the pace. It is not their normal style. When they are
:21:31. > :21:36.clear they share it. Mutai is getting an easy run, following the
:21:36. > :21:41.young Birech. Hurdling the barrier without touching it, into the water,
:21:41. > :21:48.one foot and out the other side. He is having an easy, this is going to
:21:48. > :21:52.be an easy day for him. Slowing down even. Mutai finished one place
:21:52. > :22:00.ahead of him in the Olympic triems. That is something Birech will
:22:00. > :22:06.remember well, on the other hand, the tables were turned in the meet
:22:06. > :22:12.in Lausanne. So Birech knows I think that Mutai in this sort of
:22:12. > :22:17.race has a bit more pace, and that is why he is sitting there and
:22:17. > :22:23.waiting. They have 300 metres to go. Of course this is where hurdle
:22:23. > :22:28.technique comes into play. Birech has kicked in hard. It is can you
:22:28. > :22:31.hurdle at pace. The answer is no. He stuttered there. He lost
:22:31. > :22:35.everything he gained there in his hurdling technique. Let us watch
:22:35. > :22:39.them in the water. As they going this quickly, they can sometimes
:22:39. > :22:46.leap over, there, slight touch on there and coming out the other side,
:22:46. > :22:51.the race is on. Mutai makes up yards but Birech has enough pace.
:22:52. > :22:58.He is going to do it again. Now he is away and gone and mu tie has
:22:58. > :23:05.given up the ghost. The arm is raised aloft. He is enjoying his
:23:05. > :23:12.victory here. So Birech, 8.20 the winning time. Mutai jogs across the
:23:12. > :23:17.line and succumbed to the better tech pace of Birech, if not
:23:17. > :23:23.technique. I feel that we will see a bit more of this young man,
:23:23. > :23:27.Birech, and as I say, there is another great Kenyan youngster, a
:23:27. > :23:32.very good athlete, very good steeplechaser, and I think we will
:23:32. > :23:38.see plenty of these two, or certainly Birech who is here today,
:23:38. > :23:44.and maybe we will see another one on oobg another occasion. He needs
:23:44. > :23:49.to learn how to attack the hurdles. He can hurdle in slow speed. He
:23:49. > :23:54.should be able to travel better. I am pleased he began to stretch. He

:24:18. > :24:21.finishing strait. I am pleased Birech ran away from him. The
:24:21. > :24:24.junior athlete missing out on the Olympic team this year. He knows he
:24:24. > :24:29.has it won. He led all the way. I think for one, I am pleased he won
:24:29. > :24:39.it, because when you lead all the way, you get no help from your
:24:39. > :24:45.
:24:45. > :24:50.experienced team-mate, you deserve He has a great victory. He will

:25:32. > :25:35.to do the 3,000 metre steeplechase. to do the 3,000 metre steeplechase.
:25:35. > :25:39.You can't conjure them from nowhere. It is funny how some events are
:25:39. > :25:46.cool and some aren't. Steeplechase never has been. We have other field
:25:46. > :25:54.events that haven't had the same profile, success in resent time,
:25:54. > :25:58.women's hammer, men's hammer but we are seeing people like Sophie
:25:58. > :26:03.Hitchin, and the same hopefully with the steeplechase, we just need
:26:03. > :26:08.to advertise it, make it more cool, because it is a great event and a
:26:08. > :26:13.great one to watch. You were saying to me, I have been inspired in the
:26:13. > :26:17.last two or three week, has it given you a lift? It has. I have
:26:17. > :26:21.seen so many great performance, and maybe I should get back out there
:26:21. > :26:28.and compete for my club, just do a little bit and coaching, that is
:26:28. > :26:32.one thing that is still left to do on my to do list. Does the sport
:26:32. > :26:36.need, sparing your blushes, does it need younger coaches, because the
:26:36. > :26:41.sport does have in certain area, slightly anti-Kuwaited image, it
:26:41. > :26:45.needs younger people to give it a more use that word again cooler
:26:45. > :26:49.look. It does. No disrespect to the great ambassadors and volunteers
:26:49. > :26:54.who we have had through the sport. We have younger people coming in,
:26:54. > :26:59.they want to see it edgy, just like athletics is a cool sport to be in.
:26:59. > :27:04.We need younger people encouraging them, thinking outside the box and
:27:04. > :27:10.making it fun. Martyn Rooney is running in the next. Perhaps if we
:27:10. > :27:15.put a baton in his hand he might run quicker. Do you feel he has
:27:15. > :27:22.flattered to deceive on occasions? I do he has been a great anchor man
:27:22. > :27:26.for the men's 4X400, he runs brilliantly when he has a baton in
:27:26. > :27:31.his hand. Just some frustration still left out on the track when he
:27:31. > :27:38.does the individual events. So much potential to be done here, he needs
:27:38. > :27:42.to get on with it, because time is running out for him. He is 25, now,
:27:42. > :27:52.a here cheer for Robbie Grabarz in the high jump. Let us go to that
:27:52. > :27:55.
:27:55. > :28:02.Fresh from equaling the British outdoor record of 2.37 in Lausanne
:28:02. > :28:09.what a competition that was. Opening height 2.20. Oh. Just a bit
:28:09. > :28:19.casual. That performance in Lausanne was ideal conditions, it
:28:19. > :28:25.
:28:25. > :28:33.was a sultry evening, on the banks of the lake. 2.39 it was won by and
:28:33. > :28:39.Grabarz ended up in third place but it was outstanding. We gave you
:28:39. > :28:48.news earlier about Perri Shakes- Drayton but the Jamaican has
:28:48. > :28:51.appeared, it was up held. She now wins on 53.786789 Perri Shakes-
:28:51. > :29:00.Drayton relegated into second place. Nevertheless a good run by the
:29:00. > :29:01.Nevertheless a good run by the Briton. Still on the track now.
:29:01. > :29:10.Next event men's 400 metres flat. Conrad Williams going for Great
:29:10. > :29:17.Britain. Then Smith, MacDonald, boar Lee, Santos, Rooney, Taylor,
:29:17. > :29:22.and Rabah Yousif on the outside. Conrad Williams, went off quickly
:29:22. > :29:27.the other night in Lausanne. Had a very fast first 200 metres but he
:29:27. > :29:35.faded badly and finished in eighth place in the end. Nevertheless, God
:29:35. > :29:41.race for Conrad. 30 years old now, has run 45 .08. Calvin Smith o.
:29:41. > :29:51.Fifth in the semifinals of the US championships so he didn't contest
:29:51. > :29:53.
:29:53. > :30:02.the individual erelay in London. MacDonald of Jamaica. Fourth in his
:30:02. > :30:09.heat in the Olympic Games. And Jonathan Borlee seems to be getting
:30:09. > :30:15.better and better. He was sixth in the Olympic final. And this man has
:30:15. > :30:21.had an outstanding here, 18-year- old, world junior champion and that
:30:21. > :30:29.progressed through to becoming the Olympic silver medallist at 18.
:30:29. > :30:34.Luguelin Santos. Fantastic talent. Then Martyn Rooney, a veteran of
:30:34. > :30:39.two Olympic Games, on both occasions he has brought the relay
:30:39. > :30:46.team home into fourth place, outside the medals. And run some
:30:46. > :30:52.very fast splits as well. Bit of a legend is Taylor, twice the Olympic
:30:52. > :30:59.champion at hurdles and a useful 400 metre flat runner as well. His
:30:59. > :31:05.best ever 44.5, that was back in 2007. Then Rabah Yousif. Lives in
:31:05. > :31:15.Britain, is a member of nuem and Essex beagles, well-known to the
:31:15. > :31:42.
:31:42. > :31:50.with one of the Mark's men up there. I'm not quite sure what that was
:31:50. > :31:56.about. Certainly the talent at 400m running at the moment. Not as fast
:31:56. > :32:06.as James, the Olympic champion. But what a talent he is. Still a
:32:06. > :32:36.
:32:36. > :32:44.should give us a very good indication as to half -- how fast
:32:44. > :32:50.Martyn Rooney has gone out. The pressure is on Rabah Yousif, and
:32:50. > :32:59.Santos has made no impression yet. On air aside, Williams yet to make
:32:59. > :33:03.any ground on Smith. Come on, Martyn Rooney, you have to kick now.
:33:04. > :33:10.Angelo Taylor, just in the lead. Santos, and Jonathan Borlee coming
:33:10. > :33:20.on strong. How strong is Sandoz? Here comes the man from the
:33:20. > :33:28.
:33:28. > :33:36.Dominican Republic, but Angelo Taylor, using all his experience to
:33:36. > :33:43.just come on strong when it was needed boast, in the last 25 metres.
:33:43. > :33:49.-- needed most. At the age of 33, still a very good athlete, winning
:33:49. > :33:54.at Birmingham. Rewarded for attacking. He worked
:33:54. > :34:00.really hard through the first 200. He has the strength. This is his
:34:00. > :34:09.best race of the yet in terms of time. He had to be really strong in
:34:09. > :34:19.the last 50 because of Santos. That youngster, very talented, almost
:34:19. > :34:40.
:34:40. > :34:44.follow that? Two-point 37, equalling the British record which
:34:44. > :34:48.has stood for so long. Here is Aleksandr Menkov in the
:34:48. > :34:55.long jump. The crowd really responding to the young Russian.
:34:55. > :34:59.This is a real talent at end of the long -- it in the long jump and
:34:59. > :35:04.Greg Rutherford will find competition this afternoon.
:35:04. > :35:14.Olympic champion, you never get it easy, a lot more expectation on him.
:35:14. > :35:20.
:35:20. > :35:30.That was a lovely looking jump from One of the assets we thought could
:35:30. > :35:59.
:35:59. > :36:05.have got a medal. That is a great Just getting your breath back.
:36:05. > :36:12.Whether it is the flat or hurdles, you always give it 100%. Yes, today
:36:12. > :36:17.I felt good. Coming away from the Games, it was hard for me, I didn't
:36:17. > :36:22.do as well as I wanted to. I wanted to come here and finish of the
:36:22. > :36:27.season strongly, and added that today. When you have been two Games
:36:27. > :36:34.before, this time you didn't do as he wanted. You have won a gold
:36:34. > :36:40.medal in the past. What keeps you motivated? I am still motivated,
:36:40. > :36:45.and still love to compete. My main motivation is my kids who look up
:36:45. > :36:55.to me. I want to go out there and work hard, and show them what hard
:36:55. > :37:00.
:37:00. > :37:05.getting ready to take a long jump. Doesn't that sound good?
:37:06. > :37:10.certainly does. He was at Old Trafford yesterday, being applauded
:37:10. > :37:15.by a packed audience for becoming a Olympic champion. He said to meet
:37:15. > :37:21.in a hotel, it hasn't really sunk in yet, and I dare say it will take
:37:21. > :37:31.a long time for this young man to appreciate what he has achieved in
:37:31. > :37:50.
:37:50. > :37:57.track and field athletics. Here he allow him a couple of jumps to get
:37:57. > :38:02.warmed up, I am not sure how much training we -- he will have done
:38:02. > :38:07.since the Olympics. He has said he has been so busy he has done no
:38:07. > :38:15.training, and you cannot blame him. He has been applauded everywhere he
:38:15. > :38:21.has gone. Still a surprise to him, and to many onlookers. But a very
:38:21. > :38:31.popular athlete indeed. Many have said to him, it doesn't matter what
:38:31. > :38:41.
:38:41. > :38:51.you do today, but I bet it matters the James Bond theme is playing out.
:38:51. > :39:10.
:39:10. > :39:16.year for her, but getting close to the 11 seconds mark. Gloria Asumnu
:39:16. > :39:25.looked pretty good. Fading in the last 20 metres. But good out of the
:39:25. > :39:32.blocks. Charonda Williams, a good
:39:32. > :39:40.performance in Stockholm last week. 200 metres is her best event.
:39:40. > :39:48.Carmelita Jeter, she has had so many close races with Hally-Ann
:39:48. > :39:53.Fraser-Pryce, and we will get another one. She is full of smiles
:39:53. > :40:03.but don't let that for you, a redoubtable competitor, the Olympic
:40:03. > :40:05.
:40:05. > :40:14.champion. A Aleen Bailey, in very good form.
:40:14. > :40:24.Not slowing down at all. Semi-final in the Olympic Games for
:40:24. > :40:53.
:40:53. > :41:00.reception. women's sprinting. Apart from what
:41:00. > :41:10.we saw at the Olympic Games, we have had some really good times.
:41:10. > :41:32.
:41:32. > :41:39.till macro of them locked together. Carmelita Jeter wins it. 10.81.
:41:39. > :41:43.That is a brilliant run from the American. As I said, the conditions
:41:43. > :41:48.were certainly there for us, in terms of getting a quick time. The
:41:48. > :41:53.quickest we have ever had here in Birmingham. Carmelita Jeter,
:41:53. > :42:03.getting victory. I'm sure she would love to swap it for the Olympic
:42:03. > :42:04.
:42:04. > :42:10.Games. But that is never going to be possible. You can always rely on
:42:10. > :42:17.Fraser-Pryce to get a good start. You cannot afford to have a slow
:42:17. > :42:21.start, Colin. Not against someone like Carmelita Jeter. You can
:42:21. > :42:26.guarantee she will have an incredible part in the middle of
:42:26. > :42:31.the race. Once you are into the rhythm of the race, it is hard to
:42:31. > :42:37.disengage yourself and push yourself on. At the back end, she
:42:37. > :42:40.says, you know what, I am not going to be able to do it today. It is
:42:41. > :42:47.vital she gets that start and nails it well but unfortunately it didn't
:42:47. > :42:55.happen today. Still a fast time for both of these athletes. To the
:42:55. > :43:01.right of the screen, Carmelita Jeter. And on the left, the stocky,
:43:01. > :43:05.explosive. But, looking technically better, look no further than
:43:05. > :43:14.Carmelita Jeter, a beautiful sprinter. Ending up with a very
:43:14. > :43:17.well deserved victory and a great Congratulations, well deserved, a
:43:17. > :43:22.meeting record. Colin Jackson referring to as a beautiful
:43:22. > :43:29.sprinter. Thanks so much for the compliment. It is always great to
:43:29. > :43:34.run here, it was a great run. spoke to Angelo Taylor, how do you
:43:34. > :43:39.keep motivated? Once you have been on the biggest stage of all. This
:43:39. > :43:45.is what I love to do, it is easy to keep yourself going when you love
:43:45. > :43:50.to compete. I love to hear the gun. I don't know how I will react when
:43:50. > :43:54.I don't run anymore, I love running. The great thing about you is you
:43:54. > :43:58.put your reputation time and again against your biggest rivals. We are
:43:58. > :44:01.all here to give the crowd something to cheer about. We love
:44:01. > :44:11.to run, we love to hear the cheering and screaming. I hope
:44:11. > :44:32.
:44:32. > :44:42.clear. Robbie Grabarz, a first result, a very quick race. A new
:44:42. > :44:42.
:44:42. > :44:52.meeting record. Two wins in a rope over her Jamaican rival. -- in a
:44:52. > :44:55.
:44:56. > :45:05.The events come thick and fast over the two hours of court action. Next,
:45:06. > :45:08.
:45:08. > :45:13.a lot more responsibility, being Olympic champion, a lot more people
:45:13. > :45:19.want to see you, so I think I am getting used to it. Is there a
:45:19. > :45:26.greater sense of SATS fabg -- satisfaction for you given you are
:45:26. > :45:33.in the best era fov for your sport? I think so. The hurdles is one of
:45:33. > :45:41.those events, where, strange things happen, as you saw at the Olympic
:45:41. > :45:46.Games, we saw falls, and luckily, for me, I wasn't, non-that stuff
:45:46. > :45:50.has beened for me. I was able to run a complete race. How much is
:45:50. > :45:54.there joy, relief you have been able to deliver as the world number
:45:54. > :45:59.one? There is both. There is joy, there is relief, you know, because
:45:59. > :46:05.you are excited you won, you are like o God, it has finally happened.
:46:05. > :46:12.You get that relief it is over; you have achieved the biggest, the
:46:12. > :46:16.biggest form of accomplishment, so to be able deliver on such a big
:46:16. > :46:20.stage, to be able to perform in my first Olympics was amaze, it was
:46:21. > :46:28.phenomenal for me. Explain to people at home the technical
:46:28. > :46:33.adjustment you made that catapulted you to success. I changed from
:46:33. > :46:36.eight strides. It is very difficult change. It is like being right
:46:36. > :46:39.handed and then trying to write with your left. That is how
:46:39. > :46:43.different and it did it in eight months and came out with the gold.
:46:43. > :46:48.Most of the time it takes a lot of people a year-and-a-half to make
:46:48. > :46:54.the adjustment but I made it fairly quickly. It started indoor when I
:46:54. > :46:57.won worlds and it carried over, to my outdoor success. You get no
:46:57. > :47:01.preferential treatment as Olympic champion, we saw that the other
:47:01. > :47:07.night. You don't get any special treatment, in Lausanne I kind of
:47:07. > :47:12.had a little flinch I guess, but, for me, it was, it was move on any
:47:12. > :47:16.sound you hear, because at this point, like, I obviously, a record
:47:16. > :47:21.is something I want, and as soon as I heard something, I just went, and
:47:21. > :47:25.it was almost close to the gun but it kind of wasn't, so that was my
:47:25. > :47:31.mistake and that won't be happening here obviously. Obviously that
:47:31. > :47:36.won't be happening here. Well, let us hope it doesn't happen here. He
:47:36. > :47:39.has done it before, that is his second time this year he has had a
:47:39. > :47:46.disqualify care, but looking forward to seeing him in a few
:47:46. > :47:55.minutes P Greg Rutherford, 7.86 in the first round, the lead still
:47:55. > :48:05.Aleksandr Menkov. It will take some beating. The Olympic champion. That
:48:05. > :48:06.
:48:06. > :48:16.doesn't look to be any further to me. Tell you that later on. So the
:48:16. > :48:36.
:48:36. > :48:46.men's 110 hurdles. So very good field here, the top four from the
:48:46. > :48:50.
:48:50. > :48:54.Olympic final, Wilson. 31.8 this year. Richardson, I thought he ran
:48:54. > :49:02.really well, we were thinking by the time we got to games Aries
:49:02. > :49:08.Merritt was the favourite but Richardson kept him honest. But
:49:08. > :49:13.what a set of consistent races he has put in, pretty much since then,
:49:13. > :49:16.that disqualification for a false start in New York, back another the
:49:16. > :49:21.end of May, early June. David Oliver, well a couple of years ago
:49:21. > :49:26.you might have said he was the man was going to dominate bronze
:49:26. > :49:33.medallist four years ago, didn't make the team this time round. Well,
:49:33. > :49:38.he has just got better and better as the season has gone on. Hansle
:49:38. > :49:48.Parchment from Jamaica. Just finished ahead of this young man
:49:48. > :49:49.
:49:49. > :49:55.here. Lawrence Clarke. 13.31. He has to run that fast to put a
:49:55. > :50:04.personal best to get into the final. Did well finishing fourth. Ryan
:50:04. > :50:14.Brathwaite from Barbados. Lehann Fourie of South Africa in lane
:50:14. > :50:29.
:50:29. > :50:36.eight. The African champion this Merritt has been the epitome of
:50:36. > :50:46.consistency, all this season he has been running 12.93, 92, 94, so if
:50:46. > :50:56.
:50:56. > :51:01.he gets to the other end, just Merritt hit the first hurdle.
:51:01. > :51:08.Oliver has been left there. Clarke is going well. Look at this, it is
:51:08. > :51:14.Richardson and Aries Merritt. Aries Merritt comes away, 12.95.
:51:14. > :51:19.Incredible, the consistency this man has. Richardson again making
:51:19. > :51:23.sure that he didn't let up at all. Very close between the two Aries
:51:23. > :51:28.Merritt has that little bit over the last two flights, he is able to
:51:28. > :51:32.keep that moment up the going, really strong off the last hurdle.
:51:32. > :51:37.Another meeting record for the American Olympic champion. Colin,
:51:38. > :51:42.you have to the admire this, not everybody can deliver such great
:51:42. > :51:46.hurdling, time after time after time and one day he has to go
:51:46. > :51:53.quicker than this. What is incredible, he never looks like he
:51:53. > :51:59.is running quickly and that is, it's a sign of a great champion,
:51:59. > :52:03.and a great technician. He looks effortless. His running, clearance,
:52:03. > :52:09.everything is smooth and it is wonderful to see a high hurdler,
:52:09. > :52:13.when they in the groove to repeat performance after performance,
:52:13. > :52:22.going under 13 second is not easy, he is making it look easier every
:52:22. > :52:26.time. Jason Richardson to his right is the World Champion. He has gone
:52:26. > :52:30.under 13 seconds here himself. Equaling his personal best for the
:52:30. > :52:35.season. I am sure they love competing, year in, year out
:52:35. > :52:38.against each other. Aries Merritt, against each other. Aries Merritt,
:52:38. > :52:41.he is with Phil. Thank you. Watching it back on the screen,
:52:41. > :52:47.just the feel from the race, it wasn't a good race for you?
:52:47. > :52:52.wasn't. I made a lot of errors I floated five hurdles. It wasn't the
:52:52. > :52:58.best race for me, but it is what it is, it is my first race since the
:52:58. > :53:02.games so it is pretty good. should remind people you were
:53:02. > :53:07.disqualified for a false start, a twitch. I thought I heard the gun
:53:07. > :53:12.but it wasn't, it is what it is. I came here and came out with the win.
:53:12. > :53:17.Are you loob loving the UK. Every time I come to the UK I run fast.
:53:17. > :53:22.The crowd is great. The fans are great. Enjoying being Olympic
:53:22. > :53:31.champion. Of course, of course. Glaiings on that and well done
:53:31. > :53:34.today. Thank you. Another super run from Aries Merritt. Jason
:53:34. > :53:44.from Aries Merritt. Jason Richardson equaling his personal
:53:44. > :53:59.
:53:59. > :54:06.best. They will continue that the Grabarz. The.28. -- 2.28. He really
:54:06. > :54:10.has hit a rich, rich vein of form. He has got his groove in perfectly.
:54:11. > :54:17.Bronze medallist obviously, in London, bit disappointed with his
:54:17. > :54:22.height of 2.29 but he showed he he was capable of in Lausanne.
:54:22. > :54:26.Everybody I have spoken to about this young fella has said the same
:54:26. > :54:36.thing, you ain't seen nothing yet. If that is the case, wow, we
:54:36. > :54:46.certainly have got a bit prospect in our midst. Ivan Ukhov, he is an
:54:46. > :54:50.
:54:50. > :54:54.arch rival for top spot here today. There is another big fellow.
:54:54. > :54:57.discuss has suddenly become popular. Lawrence, a real character,
:54:57. > :55:01.unusually very young for a discuss thrower. Finished down in 12th
:55:01. > :55:06.place in the final, but a great result in Lausanne, where he was
:55:06. > :55:16.second, beating a lot of good athletes. He is starting to mix it
:55:16. > :55:16.
:55:16. > :55:20.on temperature circuit and he will take the an early lead here. 62.65.
:55:20. > :55:25.There was a suggestion that after the disappointment of only
:55:25. > :55:29.finishing in 12th place in the Olympic final, he may revert to
:55:29. > :55:35.rugby. I am glad to see he is keeping up with discuss, it would
:55:35. > :55:45.be a great loss if he went over to another sport. First place during
:55:45. > :55:46.
:55:46. > :55:56.this first round. This was Olympic champion in 2008. The third
:55:56. > :55:59.
:55:59. > :56:04.furthest thrower of all time with 73.38. Bronze medal in London.
:56:04. > :56:10.Quite close to the right edge of that sector. Suggesting it didn't
:56:10. > :56:19.get the technique right. I think he might just edge Lawrence with that
:56:19. > :56:23.throw. The conditions are nice for discuss throwing. The athletes will
:56:23. > :56:29.be enjoying it. The only problem is Jonathan, as Birmingham here, the
:56:29. > :56:36.ground is slightly uphill, and I know they won't enjoy that, but
:56:36. > :56:46.63.83 just ahead of Lawrence. is the line up for the next track
:56:46. > :57:06.
:57:06. > :57:15.year indeed. World junior silver medallist. After becoming a world
:57:15. > :57:19.youth bronze medallist in 2011. She is still only 17. Lynsey Sharp,
:57:19. > :57:28.European silver medallist and then made the semifinal of the Olympic
:57:28. > :57:32.Games. Winny Chebet of Kenya, another very good youngster just 21.
:57:32. > :57:36.Came second in the Kenyan trials but couldn't make the Olympic
:57:36. > :57:45.taxpayer. She didn't have the qualifying standard. This lady did,
:57:45. > :57:51.she went on to win the Olympic gold medal. Mariya Savinova of Russia.
:57:51. > :57:57.Was beaten in the Lausanne Diamond League the other night though by
:57:57. > :58:02.this lady. Pamela Jelimo of Kenya. The Kenyan pounced with about 120
:58:02. > :58:08.meeters to go and that caught salve know by surprise. -- Mariya
:58:08. > :58:14.Savinova. Marilyn Okoro, a real stalwart of British athletic,
:58:14. > :58:17.1.at.37 she has run this year. Side by side with her Jemma Simpson.
:58:17. > :58:27.Three times the UK champion. Alongside Molly Beckwith bg of the
:58:27. > :58:28.
:58:28. > :58:32.USA. Molly Beckwith, 1.59.18 and Maggie Vessey, World Championship
:58:32. > :58:38.finalist last year, the American, but only finished eighth in the
:58:38. > :58:42.American trials so didn't make the Olympic team P So two separate
:58:42. > :58:48.battles going on here. Interesting battle between the Britons and
:58:48. > :58:53.Mariya Savinova and Pamela Jelimo. Away we go. I wonder if we will get
:58:53. > :58:58.a similar situation that we had in Lausanne. Pamela Jelimo went out
:58:58. > :59:03.very hard indeed, and she kept that lead all the way through to the end.
:59:03. > :59:09.Harp sharp -- Lynsey Sharp with the blonde hair on the shoulder of
:59:09. > :59:14.Jessica Judd, inside her wearing the green, and the Mariya Savinova,
:59:14. > :59:19.the Olympic champion, just setting into the pack. We have a
:59:19. > :59:24.fascinating race from two perspectives, but the Olympic
:59:24. > :59:27.champions Mariya Savinova, and the athlete who challenged her and ran
:59:27. > :59:30.too quickly, Pamela Jelimo. Previous Olympic champion and these
:59:30. > :59:34.two will battle it out and the tactics again are going to be
:59:34. > :59:38.crucial, as they always are. If you look at Mariya Savinova at the back.
:59:38. > :59:42.She is working her way slowly through the field. Lynsey Sharp of
:59:42. > :59:47.Great Britain leading, and here comes Mariya Savinova on the
:59:47. > :59:51.outside, moves to the front gradually. Glides to the front,
:59:51. > :59:56.61.7, a pretty slow opening, so it will be a different kind of race,
:59:56. > :59:59.the Olympics was faster on the start. Mariya Savinova waited and
:59:59. > :00:02.pounced. The other night she met her match with Pamela Jelimo. She
:00:02. > :00:06.is ahead of Pamela Jelimo here, as they go into the back straight she
:00:06. > :00:10.is beginning to get ready to make a change. This will be an interesting
:00:10. > :00:16.race overall. Quite interesting that Pamela Jelimo may have found a
:00:16. > :00:19.gap on the inside. Coming up on the shoulder of Lynsey Sharp. Mariya
:00:19. > :00:27.Savinova is class act. Marilyn Okoro closing and look at Jessica
:00:27. > :00:29.Judd the teenager, wearing the Savinova. Mariya Savinova Marilyn
:00:29. > :00:33.Okoro and Pamela Jelimo. Desperately trying to get past
:00:33. > :00:37.everybody at the my opinion, but Mariya Savinova has done to Pamela
:00:37. > :00:41.Jelimo and the rest, what Pamela Jelimo did to everybody in Lausanne.
:00:41. > :00:44.She has sprinted away from them with about 120 metres to go. Mariya
:00:44. > :00:54.Savinova, the Olympic champion, wins here in Birmingham. Pamela
:00:54. > :01:02.
:01:02. > :01:11.Jelimo in second place. Marilyn way, she knew what she was doing. A
:01:11. > :01:17.negative split for the 800 metres, the first was very slow indeed.
:01:17. > :01:21.Were inside 60 seconds to finish. Mariya Savinova can be very pleased.
:01:21. > :01:29.A class performers by the Olympic champion. She lost a race the other
:01:29. > :01:33.night to Pamela Jelimo. So, she was determined. A great moment. The
:01:33. > :01:37.world junior silver-medallist shaking hands.
:01:37. > :01:44.Pamela Jelimo it on the inside not doing very much. Marilyn Okoro
:01:44. > :01:48.running well. Mariya Savinova working, beginning to extend. There
:01:48. > :01:53.comes Pamela Jelimo, look at that exhilaration, the 2008 Olympic
:01:53. > :02:02.champion. But there is no way she is going to get near to Mariya
:02:02. > :02:08.Savinova. 28.6 for the last 200 metres, that is why Pamela Jelimo
:02:08. > :02:14.could not catch her. Marilyn Okoro, a good performance for third place.
:02:14. > :02:24.Mariya Savinova demonstrating what a class athlete she is. A great
:02:24. > :02:25.
:02:25. > :02:32.piece of judgment. She is the top Someone who would have loved to be
:02:32. > :02:38.running in that race is Jenny Meadows. How are you? I have been
:02:38. > :02:43.to Sweden for surgery this week. It was my Achilles area. We are
:02:43. > :02:49.grateful that might Achilles is well, they cleared up around it.
:02:49. > :02:56.Instead of possible nine runs rehabilitation, it is about 10
:02:56. > :03:02.weeks. -- nine months' rehabilitation. A I didn't want to
:03:02. > :03:07.commit myself to 2013, but outdoors it will definitely happen.
:03:08. > :03:12.The indoors season. I have a fighting chance. In January, you
:03:12. > :03:18.would have been talking about the Olympic Games. He would have been
:03:18. > :03:23.ridiculously excited but it has gone downhill. How have you kept
:03:23. > :03:29.your spirits up. In this year when everyone is celebrating? It has
:03:29. > :03:33.been a difficult year. I have improved a lot this winter. I was
:03:33. > :03:43.disappointed at Daegu at the World Championships. Watching the Olympic
:03:43. > :03:50.Games, it was a fantastic spectacle of sport. The 800 metres women.
:03:50. > :03:55.Silver and bronze, in one minute and 57, something I have done
:03:55. > :03:59.previously. I definitely think there was a chance for me on the
:03:59. > :04:05.podium. That has given leave a lot of positivity. I will be working
:04:05. > :04:14.really hard to reproduce that again. He didn't watch, going, that is not
:04:14. > :04:24.fair? I handled it well if I'm honest. Lovely to see you here. We
:04:24. > :04:24.
:04:24. > :04:34.will see you back on track next Athletics this afternoon and
:04:34. > :04:59.
:04:59. > :05:06.received a huge round of applause. Vaart, the Olympic champion, is
:05:06. > :05:13.also in this field. Just to update you on that long jump, with Greg
:05:13. > :05:23.Rutherford. A slight improvement but he still is in second place.
:05:23. > :05:23.
:05:23. > :06:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:06:05. > :06:09.Behind Aleksandr Menkov which is just enough time to seek Robbie
:06:09. > :06:19.Grabarz. Three athletes left in this high
:06:19. > :06:37.
:06:37. > :06:42.Robbie Grabarz. After that sleepy first time failure, he has looked
:06:42. > :06:52.superb at every one of his height, there has been clear daylight. If
:06:52. > :06:56.
:06:56. > :07:03.any athlete is a confident athlete, timing, the arch over the bar. That
:07:03. > :07:12.is very good. If he was to win this competition, he would go top of the
:07:12. > :07:22.Diamond League standings. Jesse Williams heads that with points.
:07:22. > :07:51.
:07:51. > :08:01.Those points convert to money at events of this season. Here are our
:08:01. > :08:05.
:08:05. > :08:15.medallists from the Olympic Games. Always fast, a fast finisher. Not
:08:15. > :08:26.
:08:26. > :08:31.so good when the pace is hot. A Iguider, the Morocco and, bronze-
:08:31. > :08:38.medallist. Their only medal in the Olympic Games, he only just hung on.
:08:38. > :08:44.Because of this man, Matthew Centrowitz, an exciting talent,
:08:44. > :08:46.finishing quickly then. A new personal best in the close and the
:08:46. > :08:56.other night. Bergin, didn't even make the Kenyan
:08:56. > :09:06.
:09:06. > :09:09.team. He ran very well in Monaco. Chepseba, the Kenyans doing well.
:09:09. > :09:13.Andrew Baddeley was a disappointed with his performance at the Olympic
:09:13. > :09:19.Games, desperately wanted to get to the final.
:09:19. > :09:23.Kit Haron Lagat, going into the Olympics, with one of the quickest
:09:23. > :09:31.times and well, that doesn't tell you anything at the 1,500m.
:09:31. > :09:37.Three of our younger good runners. James Brewer, finding form. Niall
:09:37. > :09:47.Brooks has had a difficult year. Charlie Grice will be relishing the
:09:47. > :09:54.
:09:54. > :10:04.challenge of running against these Around about the 1.53. Not super-
:10:04. > :10:04.
:10:04. > :10:14.fast, but good enough for most of the men in this field. Andrew
:10:14. > :10:15.
:10:15. > :10:21.Baddeley will be hoping to run well here. The Kenyans were no work in
:10:21. > :10:31.the Olympic finals. The fastest Attlee's end the world
:10:31. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:40.this year, all athletes. Chepseba in this race. These kinds of races,
:10:40. > :10:46.with pacemakers, are where the Kenyans have been dominating for
:10:46. > :10:52.the several past years. Having a pacemaker, you have to follow them.
:10:52. > :10:58.Rather than having to think about a race. 57 for the first lap. Here we
:10:58. > :11:02.have a slower pace, a slower pacemaker. The athletes have to
:11:02. > :11:05.pick their way through. In many ways, it is a physical test whereas
:11:05. > :11:13.in the Olympic Games or major championships, it is a physical and
:11:13. > :11:17.mental test. Where you are running physically, it is sometimes easier.
:11:17. > :11:21.In his interesting to see Matthew Centrowitz, essentially second in
:11:21. > :11:27.the race, he has decided to get involved. The race the other night
:11:27. > :11:31.proved to him he could run fast times. Such a good finisher. A
:11:31. > :11:36.lovely looking runner. He has a great future ahead of him, he has
:11:36. > :11:45.already run under 3.32, a medal at the world chamipionships. He just
:11:45. > :11:51.missed out at the Olympic Games for a medal.
:11:51. > :11:57.The second pacemaker now. It is interesting to see, the likes of
:11:57. > :12:01.Matthew Centrowitz going for it. has made some real progress. He
:12:02. > :12:06.will be disappointed not to capture that bronze medal. His team-mate
:12:06. > :12:12.Leonel Manzano was actually second there. Working his way through the
:12:12. > :12:17.field. Looking tired to me. Once again we are seeing the pacemakers
:12:17. > :12:24.making a concerted effort. One after the other. Exactly how these
:12:24. > :12:29.races have been planned. Coming up to take the bell. Bergin
:12:29. > :12:39.will lead them. The bronze- medallist, Iguider, in a good
:12:39. > :12:40.
:12:40. > :12:47.position. Bergin, he knows there will be a threat from behind but as
:12:47. > :12:52.yet, it is not manifesting itself. The Kenyan moving into second place.
:12:52. > :12:58.Running strongly as he has done this season, apart from the Olympic
:12:58. > :13:08.Games. We are now into a race. Who will concentrate, who will pull off
:13:08. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:22.on the outside. Mekonnen Gebremedhin may have enough, he has
:13:22. > :13:29.a lot of pace to burn. He will win it. Chepseba takes second place. It
:13:29. > :13:39.was close on the line for third place. We will wait to see. That
:13:39. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:56.was a really good pace in the home that 2.35 metres. Robbie Grabarz,
:13:56. > :14:03.
:14:03. > :14:13.leading. A brilliant first-time Lausanne. -- jumped 2.32 at
:14:13. > :14:24.
:14:24. > :14:33.the third time in history that this has happened. A truly outstanding
:14:33. > :14:41.competition. Interesting that Barshim Ahmed who beat him on that
:14:41. > :14:44.occasion, he is out. Ivan Ukhov has passed his second or third attends.
:14:44. > :14:51.Despite that failure, Robbie Grabarz it is sitting on top of the
:14:51. > :15:01.Pahl. Everybody in this field will appreciate that Robbie Grabarz is
:15:01. > :15:11.
:15:11. > :15:20.one of the talents in the world them will go on. Here they come in
:15:20. > :15:23.the finishing strait. The battle between the Africans. Look at
:15:23. > :15:28.Mekonnen Gebremedhin. Coming in the finishing straight. Battling his
:15:28. > :15:33.way through. A good victory there for Mekonnen Gebremedhin. He was
:15:33. > :15:36.disappointed earlier in the year. He did suggest he looked as though
:15:36. > :15:40.he could have ban medallist and they were desperate to get a medal
:15:40. > :15:47.there, but he wasn't able to do it. Good victory for him today. There
:15:47. > :15:57.is the winning time. That wasn't the best 1500 race I have seen all
:15:57. > :16:03.
:16:03. > :16:10.second attempt. To update you on the men's long jump. Greg
:16:10. > :16:14.Rutherford has headed off for a bit of physio as he passed his third
:16:14. > :16:19.and Fourth Round jump. Chris Tomlinson is in fourth place and
:16:19. > :16:23.Menkov leads. Greg is in second place with that second round jump.
:16:23. > :16:28.We know about his fragile hamstrings, and I think it was a
:16:28. > :16:38.testimony to his coaching team to get him to London to get him in
:16:38. > :16:41.
:16:42. > :16:51.shape. Now, let us focus on Robbie. Second attempt at 2. 35. The way he
:16:51. > :16:55.starts his jumps is very reminiscent of the Swedish jumper.
:16:55. > :17:03.Robbie Grabarz, if you can get this, he really has got in competition by
:17:03. > :17:13.the scruff of the neck. Again, very close. The entire stadium clapping,
:17:13. > :17:14.
:17:14. > :17:18.he had a stage, he will love that. Again, potential advantage maybe
:17:18. > :17:22.goes to Ukhov. If he can get a second time clearance, he will go
:17:22. > :17:29.into the lead, because if he doesn't clear it, he is out because
:17:29. > :17:35.he had one failure at 2.32 and then passed, because he knew clearing
:17:35. > :17:38.that height wouldn't have improved his position. It will be a
:17:38. > :17:43.confidence booster to Robbie, to just get even greater heights, a
:17:43. > :17:48.lot of people are saying he is a man who could take the British
:17:48. > :17:53.record beyond 2.40 and that would be astonish, but Ukhov of course,
:17:53. > :18:00.he is a class act, he is the Olympic champion, and consistently
:18:00. > :18:05.over the last couple of years, when he has been behaving himself, he
:18:05. > :18:09.can go off the rails, a little bit, on occasion, but when he
:18:09. > :18:14.concentrates on athletic, on his speciality high jump, he is the
:18:15. > :18:24.best. But this is it. It is either clearance or out and Grabarzs would
:18:25. > :18:32.
:18:32. > :18:40.Everybody was watching, they held their breath. But the Olympic
:18:40. > :18:50.champion has been beaten, by Robbie Grabarz. He looks pretty
:18:50. > :18:55.
:18:55. > :19:05.unimpressed. I think he wants to go high jump. Silent there, when Ukhov
:19:05. > :19:18.
:19:18. > :19:28.went to jump. So we have a cracking 3,000 metres here. Some familiar
:19:28. > :19:34.
:19:35. > :19:40.names there. Masai will be given the job of setting the pace.
:19:40. > :19:50.Cheruiyot has had an indifferent season. One point it looked as
:19:50. > :19:57.
:19:57. > :20:07.though it was going to be disappointing. A host of other good
:20:07. > :20:12.
:20:12. > :20:16.athletes. Julia Bleasdale, with Jo Pavey, they ran I don't know how
:20:16. > :20:23.many laps together, there wasn't too much to choose between them. To
:20:23. > :20:30.finish the top ten, top eight in two Olympic finals is something she
:20:30. > :20:40.should be very proud of. Burka, won a medal at this event, before
:20:40. > :20:50.
:20:50. > :20:54.contesting the 5,000, where she was fifth. Njoroge. A real mix of 5,000,
:20:54. > :21:02.10,000le chasers, so it will be an interesting race, full of quality.
:21:02. > :21:11.Conditions are good. So we might get a fairly swift time here P
:21:11. > :21:15.Seven-and-a-half laps of the track. We will see Mo Farah in the two
:21:15. > :21:23.miles in just, the double he did, is something which we know how
:21:24. > :21:27.difficult it is, incredibly difficult. Debarber headed into the
:21:27. > :21:31.5,000, as which she was initially reserve for, and winning the gold
:21:31. > :21:36.medal in the 10,000 metre, the Ethopian was hoping to do what she
:21:36. > :21:41.did last time round and win the double, and it didn't happen in the
:21:41. > :21:46.5,000. She didn't quite recover at all, and I suppose that even just
:21:46. > :21:52.adds to how impressive Mo Farah's performance was by winning both
:21:52. > :21:58.gold medals. It is the recovery process, that UK Athletics and the
:21:58. > :22:03.formula they provide for Mo Farah, it was what got him through both.
:22:03. > :22:07.The Africans and the Ethopians didn't have the same system. It was
:22:07. > :22:16.a shame because debarber wasn't able to win both. She is looking at
:22:16. > :22:22.athletes who are not as keen to run the pace as she is. These athletes,
:22:22. > :22:27.Julia Bleasdale, Cheruiyot ran 50 lap, they are not as keen today.
:22:27. > :22:33.laps. The bar has been measured up to the height of 2.38. It would be
:22:33. > :22:40.an outdoor British record. It would equal the best ever by a British
:22:40. > :22:45.athlete. Steve Smith jop jumped that in 1994 indoors. It would be a
:22:45. > :22:55.personal best, as well for Robbie. Two metres 38. He has just one
:22:55. > :22:55.
:22:55. > :23:00.attempt. Well, he didn't get it today. I wouldn't bet against him
:23:00. > :23:03.getting it in seasons to come. He has become one of the superstars of
:23:03. > :23:13.British athletics this summer. A bronze medal, a British record, and
:23:13. > :23:16.
:23:16. > :23:19.what a character. One of the stars of the team. And he has competed
:23:19. > :23:24.very well since the Olympic Games and entertained the crowd very well,
:23:24. > :23:29.particularly down on the bottom bend here today. This women's 3,000
:23:29. > :23:33.the pacemakers off, she is having her own run by herself, well way
:23:33. > :23:36.ahead of this lot, and this race obviously, yet to get going with
:23:36. > :23:43.the main field, so why don't we break away from this and have a
:23:43. > :23:45.word with the man who has just word with the man who has just
:23:45. > :23:49.performed so well in that high jump. Thank you. Congratulations, what a
:23:49. > :23:54.performance, another attempt at a British records. What a week you
:23:54. > :24:01.have had. Sum it up. It has been a good week. I thought I would try
:24:01. > :24:07.and please the crowd, and I messed it up, bit has been so much fun.
:24:07. > :24:12.The way the day started, not your best. I think everyone struggled.
:24:12. > :24:17.48 hours I was jumping in Switzerland. For me, jumping from
:24:17. > :24:20.track to track is hard to get used to. Once you got into it you were
:24:21. > :24:25.supreme, what a year you have had. Yes, I worked on my rhythm so hard
:24:25. > :24:28.and I find it on track and I can jump high. People are talking about
:24:28. > :24:34.there is more to come from you. You must be hearing that and knowing
:24:34. > :24:41.that within you. I know deep down there is plen pty more and a long
:24:42. > :24:45.career jumping very high. Well done. Well if you want to see more of
:24:45. > :24:50.Robbie and our other himians and the world's top star, the final of
:24:50. > :24:56.the first of the two finals of the Diamond League in Zurich live on
:24:56. > :25:05.BBC Two, 7.00 on Thursday night. Another helping of Bolt, Blake et
:25:05. > :25:10.al. Looking forward to that. Masai has gone out here and just stuck to
:25:10. > :25:15.it. She has looked round. Because she got the first lap wrong they
:25:15. > :25:20.didn't want to go with it. They set down to a slower pace. Although she
:25:20. > :25:24.is running the sort of laps she was asked to in the fis place, she is
:25:24. > :25:29.asked to in the fis place, she is six or seven seconds ahead. They
:25:29. > :25:34.are slowly catching her. Sally Kipyego is making sure that they
:25:34. > :25:37.are stretching out a bit now, but, as I say Masai might as well not
:25:37. > :25:42.have bothered here, particularly for what happened on the first lap.
:25:42. > :25:47.In that chasing gruerpbgs the pacemaker is coming back, Julia
:25:47. > :25:52.Bleasdale is from, she was outstanding in the Olympic Games,
:25:52. > :25:57.she finished eighth in the 10,000 metres in a personal best time. She
:25:57. > :26:00.ran a personal best in the 5,000 and finished eighth in the final.
:26:00. > :26:04.Two outstanding performances by Julia Bleasdale, there she is on
:26:04. > :26:08.the inside. She came from almost nowhere. Beginning of the year she
:26:08. > :26:15.was hardly recognised as a contender. She went to Australia
:26:15. > :26:19.and trained there. Did a fabulous job in the Olympic Games, was
:26:19. > :26:27.outprinted -- outsprinted by Jo Pavey. Julia Bleasdale, I have to
:26:27. > :26:33.say the most improved athlete in Britain this year. There has been
:26:33. > :26:42.movement in the men's discuss. Robert Harting, the long est, he
:26:42. > :26:46.went out to 66.64. -- longest. He is in the lead at the moment. And
:26:46. > :26:55.Greg Rutherford, I said he had been to the physio, he is back out. He
:26:55. > :26:59.has one more jump left. Christian Taylor has gone into second place.
:26:59. > :27:05.Greg pushed down third. Chris Tomlinson finishing in fourth place.
:27:05. > :27:10.Eight metres 18 is the target from Menkov, who has had three fouls
:27:10. > :27:14.since then. What has the Olympic champion got. Well, no. No
:27:14. > :27:22.improvement there for Greg. We will update you with that distance later
:27:22. > :27:29.on. I think that was a no jump, so we won't need to update that. Sally
:27:30. > :27:32.Kipyego in the lead. Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot hovering. Burka
:27:33. > :27:37.starting to move up for the first time. Julia Bleasdale tucked nicely
:27:37. > :27:41.on the inside. They have been running sedately through the first
:27:41. > :27:46.thousand and the second thousand metre, right round nine minute pace,
:27:46. > :27:53.which for most of these women isn't particularly quick. Barbara Parker
:27:53. > :27:59.is struggling to stay with it. It is good to see Julia there. It is
:27:59. > :28:02.to see Julia there. Sally Kipyego, on the outside there, the tiny
:28:02. > :28:06.figure, Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot, the silver medallist from the 5,000
:28:06. > :28:12.metres. If do you look at her performance in the Game, second in
:28:12. > :28:17.the 5,000, third in the 10,000, and to be disappointed with a silver
:28:17. > :28:27.and bromed shows the expectation she had. She was expected to come
:28:27. > :28:27.
:28:27. > :28:31.home with two gold medals and lost in a fantastic race. Sally Kipyego
:28:31. > :28:35.is sticking to her task. Here comes Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot, coming
:28:35. > :28:42.closer and into contention, he shazvingsr hasn't run since the
:28:42. > :28:44.Olympic Games, but the two Olympic silver medallists come up and they
:28:44. > :28:48.hear the bell. Sally Kipyego is in the lead and Vivian Jepkemoi
:28:48. > :28:53.Cheruiyot is on her shoulder. Getting ready to make a move.
:28:53. > :28:58.Stretching from Sally Kipyego but really Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot
:28:58. > :29:06.not wants to get ready. Look how close she is. That is an
:29:06. > :29:12.improvement in class. She lacks a bit of pace. Sally Kipyego won't be
:29:12. > :29:17.able to hold off Cheruiyot. So Cheruiyot, at the beginning of the
:29:17. > :29:21.season I should say I would say she would have won it easily. Sally
:29:21. > :29:25.Kipyego is doing a good job of holding that kerb. She doesn't have
:29:25. > :29:30.the acceleration of Cheruiyot. And that is what she will try and use
:29:30. > :29:34.in the home straight. Cherono moves out and tries to kick round the
:29:34. > :29:38.outside here, has she got anything left. Sally Kipyego starts to fade
:29:38. > :29:43.on the home straight. It has been Cherono and Cheruiyot. Cheruiyot
:29:43. > :29:53.struggling to hang on. It is going to be close. Cherono getting it on
:29:53. > :29:53.
:29:53. > :30:02.the dip. Couldn't be closer. Great finish. Andle.41. -- and 8.41.
:30:02. > :30:07.Cracking race at the end. Cheruiyot, you know Brendan, there is
:30:07. > :30:14.something happened with Cheruiyot. Last year she was unbeatable in the
:30:14. > :30:17.home straight, against anybody. At the beginning she locked good, but
:30:17. > :30:22.something, I don't know if it is kf, but she doesn't have ta burn she
:30:22. > :30:28.used to have in the last 200. That is right. You come into the
:30:28. > :30:32.finishing straight. Cheruiyot would have accelerated away, here she has
:30:32. > :30:35.a competitor, Cherono, her team- mate from Kenya, battling it out.
:30:35. > :30:40.Sally Kipyego fades away and the two o of them are working so hard
:30:40. > :30:45.here, it is a really fast finish. It is a tired Cheruiyot and it's a
:30:45. > :30:49.victory for Cherono. And that is a bit of a shock all round, and a
:30:49. > :30:59.poor, she will be disappointed Cheruiyot, that is a defeat that
:30:59. > :31:14.
:31:14. > :31:17.finished, Greg Rutherford in third What it and his peers who had been
:31:17. > :31:22.the past few weeks. The crowd giving you such a reception. It
:31:22. > :31:29.must be getting better and better. The crowd here were fantastic. It
:31:29. > :31:35.was a sure -- it a shame I couldn't perform better. There is a twinge
:31:35. > :31:40.in my groin. It has been silly carrying on to be honest. But I
:31:40. > :31:45.felt there was something there today. It is annoying. A great
:31:45. > :31:50.competition. Aleksandr Menkov had a great jump early on. It is nice to
:31:50. > :31:56.be up here with some home support. Do says it will be different for
:31:56. > :32:00.you now, as Olympic champion, everyone wanting to beat you? -- do
:32:01. > :32:05.you sense that it will be different? I came here feeling
:32:05. > :32:11.quite good. A little bit lethargic, the past few weeks have taken it
:32:11. > :32:17.out of me. But I am a professional athlete. Today I let the few people
:32:17. > :32:24.down, I think. I wanted to do a decent job and I didn't get it in.
:32:24. > :32:31.I am feeling a few aches and pains. Three weeks ago, the greatest day
:32:31. > :32:35.of my life. An honest assessment. All the best.
:32:35. > :32:40.On a weekend where so many sporting headlines have been made by Lance
:32:40. > :32:44.Armstrong, one of the winners here was Adams in the shot put, the
:32:45. > :32:50.gold-medallist from Beijing, now a double Olympic champion after the
:32:50. > :32:56.original winner from Belarus was disqualified.
:32:56. > :33:00.To say it has been an eventful few weeks for Adams it is perhaps an
:33:00. > :33:08.understatement of the century. First of all, there was a problem
:33:08. > :33:12.with your entry which started the problems. Human error, very
:33:12. > :33:18.unfortunate that it happened to me. It derailed made, going into the
:33:18. > :33:24.final. But you have to live with it and move on. It has been a
:33:24. > :33:30.rollercoaster ride. Now, you know that you will win another gold
:33:30. > :33:38.medal, but you have given your silver medal back already. I am
:33:38. > :33:43.hoping, I am praying, that today. But it is not going to happen.
:33:43. > :33:47.Zurich in Switzerland is like a second home, so I am hoping it will
:33:47. > :33:53.be there. Otherwise in New Zealand for me to receive it at home.
:33:53. > :33:58.saddest thing, with that disqualification, is you don't get
:33:58. > :34:03.that moment in the stadium, to hear your national anthem, and to
:34:03. > :34:13.celebrate as a true champion. robbed me of the moment, that hurts
:34:13. > :34:14.
:34:14. > :34:18.more than anything. I should have been celebrating. But unfortunately
:34:18. > :34:24.she took that moment away from me. Now she has to live with the
:34:24. > :34:31.consequences, to be known as a cheat. All we can do is look
:34:31. > :34:37.forward and enjoy the gold medal. I am sure the people in New Zealand
:34:37. > :34:41.are as proud of me. I am very happy. I am looking forward to go in home.
:34:41. > :34:51.He a wonderful achievement, double Olympic champion. Thank you very
:34:51. > :35:19.
:35:19. > :35:29.Birmingham. The athletes on the track for the men's 200 metres, it
:35:29. > :35:45.
:35:45. > :35:52.should be a real cracker. Heroes cracking runner. 19.65 he ran way
:35:52. > :35:57.back in 2006, still the 7th fastest in history. Finished just outside
:35:57. > :36:02.the medals in the Olympic Stadium, in 4th place in the final.
:36:02. > :36:12.Nickel Ashmeade, one of the most unlucky Jamaica's around, 4th in
:36:12. > :36:15.
:36:15. > :36:20.the trials, behind Blake, Usain Bolt, who won in the final.
:36:20. > :36:25.Churandy Martina, one of the most underrated sprinters in the world.
:36:25. > :36:31.Holds the Dutch record. Said in Lausanne.
:36:31. > :36:41.Tyson Gay hasn't run a 200 metres and a couple of years. But he is
:36:41. > :36:50.
:36:50. > :36:55.This is the first 200 metres he has run in 2012. He finished 5th in the
:36:55. > :37:01.Olympic 100 metres final. Adam Gemili may have one eye on the
:37:01. > :37:06.British junior record. He was just outside of a final place in the
:37:06. > :37:09.Olympic Games in the 100 metres earlier on this year. He also
:37:09. > :37:13.became world junior champion at 100 metres.
:37:13. > :37:17.He had been mentioned that British junior record, it belongs to
:37:17. > :37:21.Christian Malcolm. Long-time favourite of British crowds all
:37:21. > :37:31.over the UK. One of our fastest ever.
:37:31. > :37:32.
:37:32. > :37:38.For finally, Mario Forsythe of Jamaica. 20.33 this season.
:37:39. > :37:44.Tyson Gay, former world champion at 100 metres and 200 metres, that was
:37:44. > :37:54.six years ago. Since he careered -- recovered from a career-threatening
:37:54. > :37:57.
:37:57. > :38:07.injury, he has decided to form, in lane six. Let us not
:38:07. > :38:12.
:38:12. > :38:20.forget Adam Gemili who has had a Gemili, slow to get into his stride.
:38:20. > :38:28.Tyson Gay is flying around the bend, easing past Churandy Martina. Tyson
:38:28. > :38:38.Gay, just tiring. The Jamaican coming away, Nickel Ashmeade get it,
:38:38. > :38:38.
:38:38. > :38:43.then Tyson Gay, then Wallace Spearmon. Nickel Ashmeade, still
:38:43. > :38:47.one of the best of 200 metres sprinters in the world. I don't
:38:47. > :38:57.think he can believe that. Tyson Gay was bidding for nine-tenths of
:38:57. > :39:02.that race but the strength of the Jamaican took him through.
:39:02. > :39:07.Nickel Ashmeade had gone really well in lane seven. From here on,
:39:07. > :39:12.this is where Tyson Gay should have taken hold of the race. He gets
:39:12. > :39:18.within half a metre. Losing his form, rocking and rolling. Nickel
:39:18. > :39:28.Ashmeade, straightforward, fast- finishing from Wallace Spearmon. It
:39:28. > :39:29.
:39:29. > :39:35.was close on the line. I am not sure Tyson Gay it is 100%. Look at
:39:35. > :39:45.that. Tightening, not looking good. A good performance for Nickel
:39:45. > :39:45.
:39:45. > :39:49.Ashmeade. Disappointment for the We haven't seen new Rover 200 for a
:39:49. > :39:54.while. It was pretty good, interesting. I just wanted to
:39:54. > :40:04.finish the race strong. A first in at two years, it feels good to
:40:04. > :40:12.finish. It says a lot how your body is performing. It was a great
:40:12. > :40:22.feeling. Where do you go from here, for the rest of the season? I go to
:40:22. > :40:35.
:40:35. > :40:42.xeric -- Zurich, and then I go on A good series of results post
:40:42. > :40:52.Olympics. He can look back on his Olympic year with great pride. Here
:40:52. > :41:18.
:41:18. > :41:27.the 200 metres. Nickel Ashmeade has but second fastest run by a British
:41:27. > :41:32.junior over 200 metres. Beating So we come to effectively the main
:41:32. > :41:36.bout of this evening. A sell-out crowd to seat all the great Olympic
:41:36. > :41:41.champions and to see Robbie Grabarz and Greg Rutherford. But
:41:41. > :41:47.fundamentally to see Mo Farah who will attempt to break Steve Ovett's
:41:47. > :41:51.record which has stood since 1978. Let us hear from the man himself.
:41:51. > :41:57.You gave us so much excitement during the Olympics, not once, but
:41:57. > :42:02.twice. I'm sure life has changed quite a bit for you, just how much?
:42:02. > :42:12.It has changed a lot, double Olympic champion, were worth giving
:42:12. > :42:21.birth to two beautiful babies -- my wife. Perfect timing! Not like me
:42:21. > :42:26.in day goo -- Daegu. I wonder how much you're a member of the races
:42:26. > :42:31.themselves? Unbelievable support from the crowd, chanting your name,
:42:31. > :42:36.cheering you every lap, going into the bell. Coming down the straight,
:42:36. > :42:41.and couldn't even feel my feet, I could hear them loudly shouting.
:42:41. > :42:47.Like nothing else you will ever experience. Never again in my life.
:42:47. > :42:51.Can you get your head around what you have achieved, how big it is?
:42:51. > :42:58.have trained so hard. I wanted to do well for myself. When you have
:42:58. > :43:03.the whole country behind you, it makes it even more. That feeling,
:43:03. > :43:08.it is incredible. If this happened in another country, where we had
:43:08. > :43:17.the Olympics in another country, it would be different. We have picked
:43:17. > :43:22.Olympics on our doorstep, where I grew up. When Kelly Holmes won two
:43:22. > :43:28.gold medals, she became Dame Kelly. What will happen by the end of the
:43:28. > :43:34.year? Are you serious? That is what people are clamouring for. It would
:43:34. > :43:39.be great. Something hard to believe. It would be amazing. You are still
:43:39. > :43:47.pursuing the hard work in, the possibility of a world record? Over
:43:47. > :43:52.two miles? We will see what the body can do. I have to get on the
:43:52. > :44:02.track and do the best I can. I am very excited. I am looking forward
:44:02. > :44:10.
:44:10. > :44:15.to it. Eight minutes 13.51. It is any other year, that time would be
:44:15. > :44:20.a stroll for Mo Farah. Given everything that has gone on for him
:44:20. > :44:25.in the last three weeks, I think we should all be very pleased that he
:44:25. > :44:31.is here, in Birmingham. This big crowd have come to watch him on,
:44:31. > :44:37.hopefully to see him run well. This event is one which he will be
:44:37. > :44:43.delighted if he can come away with a victory. There are no pacemakers.
:44:43. > :44:53.His old training partner, Chris Thompson. Ross Murray, our 1,500m
:44:53. > :44:59.
:44:59. > :45:07.is run a two miles before. Chris has. He is getting back in to some
:45:07. > :45:14.sort of fit's. He had problems earlier in the year. He says his
:45:14. > :45:19.fitness is improving. Nick McCormick, and Ross, who enjoyed
:45:19. > :45:29.his experience, representing Great Britain in the 1500 metres. Daniele
:45:29. > :45:29.
:45:29. > :45:35.Meucci who knows what it is like to finish behind Mo. Mark Kosgei
:45:35. > :45:45.Kiptoo, and then Mo Farah, just listen to the cheer for this man.
:45:45. > :45:51.
:45:51. > :45:55.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well that will help with his energy levels.
:45:55. > :46:05.The double Olympic champion,5,000 and 10,000 metres. Mo Farah going
:46:05. > :46:13.
:46:13. > :46:18.track, of course a mile is just over four laps. So 32018 metres, so
:46:18. > :46:24.we will give you splits of every 400. Don't expect anything too much.
:46:24. > :46:30.There are no pacemakers. Chatting to Mo this morning, I don't think a
:46:30. > :46:35.record is upper most in his mind. When I introduced him as the double
:46:35. > :46:40.Olympic champion. He is the first man to win the European and Olympic
:46:40. > :46:45.title in the same year. You have done maths, you have done
:46:45. > :46:49.brilliantly. You are right. It is pedestrian here. Nick McCormick
:46:49. > :46:53.getting ready to make a move. You might as well run a reasonable time.
:46:53. > :46:59.Mo is at the back. He is not interested in the pace and one of
:46:59. > :47:05.two of the others, there is often they feel there is safety in
:47:05. > :47:11.numbers. They would be better off if they ran a steady pace. Nick
:47:11. > :47:15.McCormick, being followed by Ross Murray, who did well, to make the
:47:15. > :47:19.team for the 1500 metres in his first year. They are getting going
:47:19. > :47:25.and they should do that. Now the race starts to take steps forward.
:47:25. > :47:32.Nick McCormick is a good athlete. He has had a good year this year
:47:32. > :47:37.and Ross Murray, from Morpeth Harriers. The first lap was 17.5 so
:47:37. > :47:43.I think they decided that almost throws the record out of the way. -
:47:43. > :47:49.- 70.5. They would have to run the next seven laps in seven minutes
:47:49. > :47:53.and three seconds which would be difficult. I think people need to
:47:53. > :47:58.understand,, chatting to Mo this morn, the energy, apart from the
:47:58. > :48:02.fact his wife has just given birth to twins and the motion in that, he
:48:02. > :48:06.has been doing what I guess people would like him to do, as the double
:48:06. > :48:09.Olympic champion. He has been appearing all over the place, lots
:48:09. > :48:14.of people have wanted to see him, talk to him and take his picture,
:48:14. > :48:18.that is energy sapping. He hasn't done much training. He has been
:48:18. > :48:22.enjoying that as well. And he will want to finish the season on a bit
:48:22. > :48:27.of a high, but today was really I think about coming here and
:48:27. > :48:32.competing, and in front of a crowd that supported him in Britain over
:48:32. > :48:41.many year, and they will be delighted to see him hopefully win
:48:42. > :48:46.this. He still has some work to do. Nick McCormick runs the second lap
:48:46. > :48:50.in 62 seconds, and then, Mo Farah following, and immediately, into
:48:50. > :48:55.the lead. He hieb going into the lead to slow it down a bit. He
:48:55. > :48:58.probably wouldn't want to run hard 62 second laps. He is happiest on
:48:59. > :49:04.the track, running well. He is happiest when he is geting support.
:49:04. > :49:08.He has been fantastic this year, he has been incredible. We were so
:49:08. > :49:13.proud to be round and be, witness the journey from Mo Farah, from a
:49:13. > :49:18.young man with talent, to a young athlete who had ability and didn't
:49:18. > :49:21.run well and suddenly in the last three year, European champion,
:49:21. > :49:31.World Champion, double Olympic champion, doesn't get any better
:49:31. > :49:33.
:49:33. > :49:40.that hard work? Normally any other occasion that would be fine. It
:49:40. > :49:44.would be comfortable. He has run faster indoors this year. So, for
:49:44. > :49:48.Mo Farah, this outdoor record is there for the take. There are probe
:49:48. > :49:56.one or two others who could win that fast. That is not the target
:49:56. > :50:05.today. Chris Tomlinson moves up on the outside and Mo reacts a bit.
:50:05. > :50:11.Tommo fancies a dabble at the front. Everybody jostles round. Mo slowed
:50:11. > :50:14.it down so Chris has picked it up again. They approach the mile point.
:50:14. > :50:19.It is great to see the crowd react to Mo. It is great to have the
:50:19. > :50:23.response he has had over the weeks, and here they are, the two athletes
:50:23. > :50:28.who for Britain, won medals in the European Championships a couple of
:50:28. > :50:33.years ago. That was the beginning of the winning streak for Mo Farah.
:50:33. > :50:36.Chris Tomlinson got a medal in that vent, that is when he arrived and
:50:37. > :50:42.we said Mo Farah is an athlete who will win titles: He started there
:50:42. > :50:47.and has been winning since. He looks happy and relaxed. Chris
:50:47. > :50:51.Tomlinson doing his bit. Stretching the field out T crowd responding to
:50:51. > :51:01.Mo Farah. Mo is responding to them. He has had a hell of a couple of
:51:01. > :51:01.
:51:01. > :51:07.weeks. I am proud he can keep going. He is looking fairly relaxed there.
:51:07. > :51:14.Tommo just putting in. Round a 63, I think that was.-of-come back to
:51:14. > :51:21.that. It was a 63. We o we we will come back to that. Tommo doing them
:51:21. > :51:31.a favour. Getting things moving along a bit. Mo relaxed. Kiptoo
:51:31. > :51:32.
:51:32. > :51:36.also. So three laps to go in this two mile event. Talking about the
:51:36. > :51:39.noise Brendan Mark Butler showed us the photo finish which is mounted
:51:39. > :51:43.in the stadium. The picture that was printed out from the photo
:51:43. > :51:48.finish cameras, the official ones were all, they were all, they
:51:48. > :51:56.looked like an earthquake print out because they had been jolted by the
:51:56. > :52:01.crowd in the stadium. 111 decibels, you could complain to the police
:52:01. > :52:07.about that! Yes, that was incredible. They had to rely on the
:52:07. > :52:11.photo finish cameras on the infield that weren't affected by the
:52:11. > :52:17.vibrations. They didn't really need it.. We could tell he had won it. I
:52:17. > :52:22.think Ross Murray stepped off the track there. Just looking round the
:52:22. > :52:26.infield. Here they come into the finishing straight. Two laps to go
:52:26. > :52:30.and Mo Farah hits the front this is the tactic and the thing he has
:52:30. > :52:34.developed. He will get the the front. He wants to hold that
:52:34. > :52:38.position. Meucci was a European medallist too, so he is a good
:52:38. > :52:42.athlete. They will have a little good Mo. Give the crowd what they
:52:42. > :52:46.want. There is Ross Murray, sadly having to step off the track in his
:52:46. > :52:52.attempt to run the two mile race. Mo, in control, in this position.
:52:52. > :52:56.When you get down the back straight, when he gets to the 600 metre point
:52:56. > :53:03.he won't want to let anyone past him. He is going to get ready and
:53:03. > :53:08.responsive to that. This is the part of the race that we have seen
:53:08. > :53:12.Mo dictate, control, and be so effective in. Meucci knows all
:53:12. > :53:16.about it. These three, Meucci and Thompson and Farah going back to
:53:16. > :53:21.that race in Barcelona, when I guess he was really announcing
:53:21. > :53:25.himself as a winner, on a big stage. Chris Tomlinson moves out here. He
:53:25. > :53:30.wants to have a little bit of a pop on the last lap. Maybe the two of
:53:30. > :53:33.them can resurrect old times here. Mo Farah and drom com -- Chris
:53:33. > :53:38.Tomlinson. That is the position they finished in the European
:53:38. > :53:41.Championships in 2010. Now Mo is in the position. He is probably tired.
:53:41. > :53:45.He probably doesn't want to run too much harder. Chris Tomlinson is
:53:45. > :53:49.going to give him a challenge, but Mo I think we are giving a
:53:49. > :53:53.respectable gap. He has to work a bit harder down the back straight.
:53:53. > :53:59.He dereceives to do this. We all want him to do it. He is relaxing
:53:59. > :54:02.and let us see how he goes over the last 200 metres. Bobby Curtis, the
:54:02. > :54:08.American, has really kicked on from 300 down the back straight. All
:54:08. > :54:16.that did was set him off. It is like a firework has just gone.
:54:16. > :54:20.the crowd are loving this. Mo Farah showing what a double Olympic
:54:20. > :54:23.champion has got, why he is better than everybody else. They are
:54:23. > :54:28.standing on their feet and ap345vingsrplauding him. This is
:54:28. > :54:38.his chance to say General Than Schwek you. Mo Farah wins the two
:54:38. > :54:39.
:54:39. > :54:46.miles, Meucci takes second. He, I - - Heath, I think third P That is
:54:46. > :54:51.what they wanted. I think he delivered again. A nice victory for
:54:51. > :54:55.him. The hard race, there is more to come in the future but he has
:54:55. > :55:00.done his hard running for the year. Today, it was just good to see him
:55:00. > :55:04.here, good to see him in one piece. And b so many people have waited
:55:04. > :55:07.for the chance, just, there must be many people in this stadium who
:55:07. > :55:11.weren't at the Olympic Games, and have support -- supported him,
:55:11. > :55:15.would have loved the chance to be here. He looks over his shoulder,
:55:15. > :55:20.he is off like a scared rabbit. He is flying round the top bend. We
:55:20. > :55:25.have a split time of 56.5 for the last lap but it was all done in the
:55:25. > :55:29.last 200 metres. That is why we came here, to see a double Olympic
:55:29. > :55:33.champion, Mo Farah, into the finishing straight. Running
:55:33. > :55:39.brilliantly, having such a glorious Olympic, a fantastic response with
:55:39. > :55:43.the crowd, having such a tremendous, tremendous time, and I don't know,
:55:43. > :55:49.can you vote early for the BBC sports personality of the year. I
:55:49. > :55:53.think I might get my vote in for him. It has been lovely to see him.
:55:53. > :55:58.Fantastic to be among the arena, the crowd have loved it. Well done
:55:58. > :56:01.Mo and he is downstairs where we need a few pearls of wisdom. I
:56:01. > :56:08.need a few pearls of wisdom. I think he will be talking to Phil.
:56:08. > :56:12.There is the mow bot. We are happy.. It is becoming part of every day
:56:12. > :56:16.life now. Everyone is doing it and it is because of you and everything
:56:16. > :56:21.you have done. Yet another victory, you provide such entertainment for
:56:21. > :56:26.the crowd again. It was awesome. It hasn't been easy coming back from
:56:26. > :56:29.the Olympics and just chilling out, having time with the family arc and
:56:29. > :56:33.my wife gave birth. That has been hard. What a year I have had. I
:56:33. > :56:38.can't believe the year, you know. It will never happen again like
:56:38. > :56:42.this. Two twin, two gold medal, I just appreciate for everyone's help.
:56:42. > :56:46.The atmosphere has been great. was only a couple of days ago. We
:56:46. > :56:51.should remind everyone your wife has had twin, you haven't had much
:56:51. > :56:55.sleep. I was getting worried because I haven't been doing much
:56:55. > :56:59.training, I have been doing a lot of running round. It has been a
:56:59. > :57:04.good race. I am happy how everything is going, I want to
:57:04. > :57:08.thank the doctor who delivered my two little pretty girls. Jew got
:57:08. > :57:12.names for them? No, we are going to get that sorted. You are going to

:57:16. > :57:21.have the 10,000 and the second is going to have the 5,000, so that is
