UK Indoor Match

:00:56. > :01:01.You us go's Kelvin Hall, for as long as I can remember, the place

:01:01. > :01:11.weighed UK track and field dreams start to take place -- class go.

:01:11. > :01:14.

:01:14. > :01:23.The dreams do not get any bigger. Come on, Kelly Holmes! It is gold!

:01:23. > :01:33.What a comeback for Sebastian Coe! It is Linford Christie! The British

:01:33. > :01:34.

:01:34. > :01:44.captain is the Olympic champion. And Sally Gunnell gets it right and

:01:44. > :01:46.

:01:46. > :01:55.get the gold! And she takes the gold medal! That is the true

:01:55. > :02:01.competitor! That is why he is de Olympic champion. The girl from

:02:01. > :02:11.Belfast has got the gold medal. Mark Lewis-Francis has a chance of

:02:11. > :02:16.glory here! Some great British Olympic moments there. The greatest

:02:16. > :02:22.is probably still six months away. Welcome to the Kelvin Hall for the

:02:22. > :02:29.last time, because as of next year we will be at the Commonwealth

:02:29. > :02:38.Games Indoor Arena next to Celtic Park in the East End of Glasgow. It

:02:38. > :02:47.will be a great venue. We have a great afternoon of athletics in

:02:47. > :02:54.store. But everything playing second fiddle to the start of 2012

:02:54. > :03:00.for Mo Farah. Before the action begins, we will be checking on the

:03:00. > :03:07.progress of Mo Farah and Paula Radcliffe, who have been preparing

:03:07. > :03:13.in Kenya. We will be discussing who might strike gold in London. Be

:03:13. > :03:19.ready the e show it at the television because there are a few

:03:19. > :03:24.interesting predictions from one of the world's great statisticians.

:03:24. > :03:34.And then be UK take on Russia, Germany and the Commonwealth Select.

:03:34. > :03:57.

:03:57. > :04:03.Mo Farah is going in the final Good afternoon to Denise Lewis,

:04:03. > :04:10.Colin Jackson and Steve Cram. We will miss this venue, won't we?

:04:10. > :04:15.we will. I have good and bad memories of this. The 4x 200m debut

:04:15. > :04:19.that I mentioned. But it is time to move on. One thing that will be

:04:20. > :04:25.consistent from this place is the crowds. Everyone will remember how

:04:25. > :04:32.passionate and enthusiastic the crowds are. Colin, if you're going

:04:32. > :04:37.to pick out a greatest moment here, I would probably give it to you.

:04:37. > :04:42.Thank you very much indeed! Mine was by pure chance because I needed

:04:42. > :04:45.a warm-up race before I took got Linford Christie in the 60 metres

:04:45. > :04:53.flat and asked the organisers if I could do the hurdles and ended up

:04:53. > :04:58.equalling the world record of the time. You were never an indoor man.

:04:58. > :05:04.Not so mollycoddled! Cross-country at this time of year. Never ran

:05:04. > :05:10.indoors. But I have always enjoyed being here. We will miss the

:05:10. > :05:16.atmosphere but I am sure it will transfer across to the bigger venue.

:05:16. > :05:20.Like athletics at about 2pm. First we will catch up with the Olympic

:05:20. > :05:30.preparations of Mo Farah and Paula Radcliffe, who had been eight in

:05:30. > :05:38.

:05:38. > :05:44.How do you adapt away from home when you spend so much time away

:05:44. > :05:49.from your wife and daughter? It is not easy, it is really hard. I came

:05:49. > :05:55.here before Christmas. I guess that is what I have to do. It is

:05:55. > :06:00.important but I do proper training so that I can do well. If I think

:06:00. > :06:05.about my opposition, I know they are training as hard as me. If you

:06:05. > :06:12.have a bad race ball a bad session, are you one of these people who

:06:12. > :06:16.take it home with you? I do! Not many of the public or the other

:06:16. > :06:22.people get to see that apart from your loved ones or family. But you

:06:22. > :06:28.learn to deal with that. All around town we see the signs that this is

:06:28. > :06:33.the home of champions. It is quite easy to understand why. It is

:06:33. > :06:40.special. It is nice to do plop training together and to learn from

:06:40. > :06:47.them. That is what I have done. a whole lifestyle and culture here

:06:47. > :06:51.is so dear towards success. That must rub off. Yes, for sure. There

:06:51. > :06:57.are no distractions, it is a small village here. There is no cinema,

:06:57. > :07:06.no going to Boldon, no other staff, it is just hard work, keep grafting

:07:06. > :07:16.and eat, sleep and train. This time he got it right! What a

:07:16. > :07:26.performance! What has the coach done for you? He has done a lot for

:07:26. > :07:28.

:07:28. > :07:32.me. A little bit was missing when I was world champion and that could

:07:32. > :07:37.be the difference between winning the gold medal and coming sixth or

:07:38. > :07:43.seventh. Looking ahead to the Olympic year, 2012, had you been

:07:43. > :07:48.running the Olympic races in your dreams? No way! I didn't even know

:07:48. > :07:52.when the schedule is. Paula had to tell me. It is amazing that you can

:07:52. > :07:58.be so relaxed about something that could be so important in your life

:07:58. > :08:04.and career. A want to do well, the same as everybody else, but I'm not

:08:04. > :08:09.going to go before hand and think, Oh, the Olympics! I want be able to

:08:09. > :08:13.do one race at a time and switch off. I just love the training and

:08:13. > :08:16.doing what I do every day. You have worked so hard for what you have

:08:16. > :08:20.got but in one sense he was fortunate because you're right at

:08:20. > :08:24.the top of your game when the Olympic Games are coming to London.

:08:24. > :08:31.Yes, it is great to be at the top of your game went the Olympics on

:08:31. > :08:34.your doorstep. But a lot can change, a lot can happen. Every race is a

:08:34. > :08:44.different race. I am looking forward to it but I have to keep

:08:44. > :08:48.

:08:48. > :08:56.injury-free empty my feet underground. -- and keep my feet. -

:08:56. > :09:04.- on the ground. It will not be a straightforward race for Mo Farah,

:09:04. > :09:07.he is up against Augustine Choge. Steve, he talked about the

:09:07. > :09:14.influence of his new coach. But probably it is the influence of

:09:14. > :09:20.Kenya that has been most profound. Yes, you are right. That happened

:09:20. > :09:25.in Teddington, of all places. His previous set-up, going back five

:09:25. > :09:31.years, it was only when he moved into the house in Teddington with

:09:31. > :09:35.the Kenyans and saw how simply day approached things. Sometimes we can

:09:35. > :09:40.over complicate things. As he was saying there, the ability to

:09:40. > :09:46.absolutely focus. For endurance athletes it is a lot of boring,

:09:46. > :09:50.grinding work, but you have to do it. Sometimes you do not want any

:09:51. > :09:55.distractions, and he saw how they live their lives, even in London.

:09:55. > :10:02.And then the added advantage of being out there is the benefits of

:10:02. > :10:07.altitude. He is in a good place right now and it is a big year for

:10:07. > :10:11.everybody, but you want to started well. He has chosen well, to come

:10:12. > :10:17.here and run of 1500, run another couple of races, and then I suspect

:10:17. > :10:22.he will go back to Kenya and keep away from our prying eyes. He does

:10:22. > :10:27.seem to be incredibly relaxed to the point when he did not even know

:10:27. > :10:30.when his final was. That is what I like about Mo Farah. He has not

:10:30. > :10:36.been suffocated by the false circuits of what can happen when

:10:36. > :10:39.you become a world champion. He is keeping his feet firmly on the

:10:39. > :10:44.ground and I think that is difficult when you're young and

:10:44. > :10:49.successful. He knows what he wants to do, he wants that gold medal,

:10:49. > :10:53.and he is working hard. He is not playing at it. He genuinely does

:10:53. > :10:58.not look that far ahead. He is concentrating on getting himself

:10:58. > :11:02.fit to run the races. There is not the strict plan that he is

:11:02. > :11:12.following. Yes, the Olympics of there, but he is not focusing quite

:11:12. > :11:13.

:11:13. > :11:23.on that yet. Mo Farah seems to have got his timing exactly bright, but

:11:23. > :11:25.

:11:25. > :11:31.Paula Radcliffe seem to get her timing wrong in 2004 and 2008. --

:11:31. > :11:37.it seemed to get her timing wrong. How does this compare to other

:11:37. > :11:41.places you have trained? It is certainly the highest place I have

:11:41. > :11:47.trained and one of the most inspirational and beautiful places

:11:47. > :11:52.to train. The camp is very good for being able to live that monastic,

:11:52. > :11:59.in a way, training life. There is nothing to do here other than focus

:11:59. > :12:04.on your training, which is what we want. For me, this has been there

:12:05. > :12:09.hardest thing that I have done in my running career. We talk a lot

:12:09. > :12:14.about athletes making sacrifices and the biggest thing has been

:12:14. > :12:19.coming away for these two months stints away from the children. We

:12:19. > :12:24.have got through because I know this is the one year where I want

:12:24. > :12:29.to do that because I want to leave no stone unturned and try to get it

:12:29. > :12:35.right for the Olympics. It helps that my daughter is old enough to

:12:35. > :12:40.understand that and we can talk on line two or three times a day.

:12:40. > :12:48.spoke just before the Berlin marathon. As this, two or three

:12:48. > :12:54.months on, how that went for you. Looking back, I think I run it

:12:55. > :12:58.wrong. I run it too fast. If I had run more even splits, I would have

:12:58. > :13:03.run quicker. I guess to come away with the qualifying time, it could

:13:03. > :13:08.have been a lot worse and it was not. Really, at not satisfied with

:13:08. > :13:14.it but I am OK but that. Just encouraged by the fact that already

:13:14. > :13:20.I feel I am in better shape and I have not by any means even started

:13:20. > :13:25.into the marathon build up. Whatever happens at London 2012, at

:13:25. > :13:31.your status as a role model and inspiration is cemented. I wonder

:13:31. > :13:35.how important that is to you at this stage? The biggest thing for

:13:35. > :13:43.me is that I want be able to finish my career and say that they did the

:13:43. > :13:49.best that I was capable of. I think if I look back, on the track I did

:13:49. > :13:53.do that. Certainly, at the London Marathon, the world record, the

:13:53. > :13:57.Olympic Games is the one that is missing. I know that the chances

:13:57. > :14:07.not as good this time, but it still is a chance and that is what I'm

:14:07. > :14:10.

:14:10. > :14:15.determined to do, to be able to go out there and give it my best shot.

:14:15. > :14:21.She was relatively relax their but the contrast between her and Mo

:14:21. > :14:26.Farah, with an intensity there. Those of us who know Paula, she has

:14:26. > :14:31.always been a meticulous athlete. Every athlete is different and

:14:31. > :14:36.Paula knows that this works for her. She needs to be on top of her game

:14:36. > :14:45.and needs to have her a jerk in plan. It was great to see her

:14:45. > :14:50.looking so relaxed but focused. I think for her to be away from her

:14:50. > :14:56.children, to be making a big change for her, I do not think she has

:14:56. > :15:01.prepared in Kenya before, means that she is going for it. Do you

:15:01. > :15:08.think it is tougher for a mum to be a lot -- away for that length of

:15:08. > :15:14.time than for a dad? She is a fantastic mum, she is very hands-on.

:15:14. > :15:24.I just think she knows what she has got to do. She cannot afford

:15:24. > :15:27.

:15:27. > :15:32.anything different. She has to lay How do you assess where she is at

:15:32. > :15:37.at the moment? She is in a good place. Denise is right. This is the

:15:37. > :15:42.last big thing, if she carries on at the -- afterwards, who knows?

:15:42. > :15:47.She is making opportunities, making sacrifices but she is enjoying it.

:15:47. > :15:50.I know she is loving been in Kenya. The training has been going well.

:15:50. > :15:54.She is enjoying being with the other athletes, not the way she has

:15:54. > :15:59.normally trained. She is missing the kids obviously but she is

:15:59. > :16:02.coping with that. All of us standing here, most of the British

:16:02. > :16:11.public would love her to do very well but the year has started with

:16:11. > :16:16.a bang. The Dubai marathon, five women run under two: 21. She knows

:16:16. > :16:21.that the task ahead of her will be huge and that is why when she goes

:16:21. > :16:27."she wasn't very good in Berlin", part of me is saying she did do

:16:27. > :16:31.well. But she has got to come to London, no problems between now and

:16:31. > :16:37.then. All the training will build, she will run a couple of half

:16:37. > :16:40.marathons in the spring and if they go well. Finger has crossed. Where

:16:40. > :16:45.should she realistically set her sights? She will want to win.

:16:45. > :16:49.Whatever she says, she is thinking gold medal. I think the first party

:16:49. > :16:52.she has to get herself into shape and run under two minutes 20. That

:16:52. > :16:56.will be a benchmark and that is what marathon runner should have to

:16:56. > :17:01.do. The racing bit actually starts sometimes about five miles from

:17:01. > :17:07.home. I know that sounds daft but if she get too wrapped up in

:17:07. > :17:12.targets between now and then, she could put herself over the edge.

:17:12. > :17:17.One step at a time and win some races, build the confidence, we

:17:17. > :17:22.will be building expectations for her but on the day I think, if it

:17:22. > :17:25.all goes well, she will be extremely competitive. If you have

:17:25. > :17:35.just turned on, live athletics is starting at 2pm. The crowd building

:17:35. > :17:39.up. A packed house at the Kelvin Hall, the start some athletics at 2

:17:39. > :17:44.o'clock. We will be loving picking out he will win Olympic gold over

:17:44. > :17:54.the next six months. We will have a discussion now. Based on the

:17:54. > :18:03.

:18:03. > :18:13.world's leading experts, our world It is going to be Campbell Brown

:18:13. > :18:13.

:18:13. > :19:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 83 seconds

:19:37. > :19:41.That's a flavour from some of those predictions. Starting with you,

:19:41. > :19:46.Colin. Yohan Blake probably 100 metres. A brave call, I would say.

:19:46. > :19:49.He trains very well with Usain Bolt, they know each other very well. He

:19:49. > :19:54.is the upstart who could upset Usain Bolt's performance but I

:19:54. > :19:59.still think that Usain Bolt is close to running 9.50 seconds. I

:19:59. > :20:04.don't think Yohan Blake is there. Perhaps next round in Rio de

:20:04. > :20:08.Janeiro, he will be. But I think it is too early to call. And Usain

:20:08. > :20:17.Bolt in the 200 metres, not for a controversial? Sticking his neck

:20:17. > :20:19.all of us is that Yohan Blake is there and to be fair, if he had

:20:19. > :20:26.said Yohan Blake in the to run metres, I would have gone without

:20:26. > :20:30.more. After we saw in Brussels last year. And I think I need to have a

:20:30. > :20:37.work with Mark. I was thinking that! I think he hit his head on

:20:37. > :20:42.some of them. Unless he thinks he's going to trip someone up, he has

:20:42. > :20:49.been closeted in the winter too long! He has had a bit off fun with

:20:49. > :20:55.there. And Jessica Ennis down for a silver, how would you see that one?

:20:55. > :21:00.By am not sure about that one. The gold medallist is progressing

:21:00. > :21:04.nicely but I think chess has done enough for me over the past two or

:21:04. > :21:09.three years to make her the absolute favourite -- I think

:21:09. > :21:16.Jessica. She had a wobble last year, we put that behind us but just

:21:16. > :21:21.Ecker is an awesome competitor. I disagree with that. Christine

:21:21. > :21:28.Ohuruogu. That is sticking your neck out. I know she is in great

:21:28. > :21:37.shape. She is fit and healthy but is she going to beat the likes of

:21:37. > :21:42.Allyson Felix? It is a good calls. Interesting call. What I love about

:21:42. > :21:46.Christian's situation, the women's 400 metres has not moved on rapidly

:21:46. > :21:53.cinched she got injured. She will look at it and think if she did

:21:53. > :22:03.what she did in 2008 and get into that shape, 2007 to be fair, it is

:22:03. > :22:03.

:22:03. > :22:13.still an open event. It is a tall order but you can make a case for

:22:13. > :22:17.that. A tall order. You can sort this out afterwards, and Mark.

:22:17. > :22:22.Polly Bleasdale did this last weekend, the third and final

:22:22. > :22:30.attempt at four metres and 87 centimetres. The second highest

:22:30. > :22:35.indoor pole vaulter of all time by the 20-year-old. She won the under

:22:35. > :22:40.23 championships and this is a massive improvement. A short run-up

:22:40. > :22:45.with a junior pole. The mind boggles. What she can do. I have

:22:45. > :22:48.been told that she is planning on moving forward and I think it is

:22:48. > :22:54.delightful with the success. will be in Birmingham in a couple

:22:54. > :23:00.of weeks' time. And she is training apparently on that senior poll.

:23:00. > :23:06.They say that could add 30 centimetres. Yes, in effect! De the

:23:06. > :23:09.mathematics and it is incredible. It is. So much scope to be obtained

:23:09. > :23:13.from going on to the firm and long the pole. She is still young but

:23:13. > :23:17.what is fantastic about Holly and her coach is that they keep it

:23:17. > :23:21.simple. Some coaches try to over complicate that event but she keeps

:23:21. > :23:27.it simple. She is doing fantastically well. Let's see how

:23:27. > :23:30.she progresses. The challenge for her and we saw this last year, she

:23:30. > :23:34.broke the British record and made a breakthrough and suddenly now

:23:34. > :23:38.people will talk about her winning medals, maybe even a gold medal.

:23:38. > :23:43.And here we are in January. We are talking about medals. A long way to

:23:43. > :23:48.go. The competition as good as it was an that the level is only part

:23:48. > :23:53.of the story. Particularly in technical events, pole vault, high

:23:53. > :23:59.jump and so one, anything could happen. Her experience has been

:23:59. > :24:02.very positive from Daegu for example. She may get higher with a

:24:02. > :24:06.different pole but I think the expectation is to be managed and

:24:06. > :24:15.Let's see how she progresses during the summer and she has got a great

:24:15. > :24:20.chance and I am sure that she may be quaking already. Holly wasn't

:24:20. > :24:26.the only great championship, a high jump, Robbie Grabarz made two

:24:26. > :24:31.metres and 34, a personal best. He is competing later against the

:24:31. > :24:36.European champion, Aleksandr Shustov. He beat the silver

:24:36. > :24:38.medallist. Denise, a great breakthrough for him. Yes, set a

:24:38. > :24:44.personal best. Going into the competition in Birmingham

:24:44. > :24:52.previously but bomb attack is a wonderful place to jump. The

:24:52. > :24:59.atmosphere -- but Bogota. He needs to be back up at that performance.

:24:59. > :25:04.The a nice buzzing start to 2012. Yes, and you could get in winter

:25:04. > :25:09.very well and your timing seems to click and now he will test himself

:25:09. > :25:19.right here in Glasgow with a home crowd. That is why the test begins.

:25:19. > :25:23.

:25:23. > :25:28.And Danielle Carruthers in the women's 60 metre hurdles, the

:25:28. > :25:32.women's silver medallist from Daegu and Hannah England, that is the

:25:32. > :25:36.distance she runs that today, 60 metres. British captain today is

:25:36. > :25:42.Helen Clitheroe and Mark Lewis- Francis, can you believe he is

:25:42. > :25:52.nearly 30? And then finally, Mo Farah up against Augustine Choge in

:25:52. > :25:53.

:25:53. > :25:58.And the turn up first and he spoke to fill Jones earlier on.

:25:58. > :26:03.Andy Turner of course and a whole warm-up to go before the warm-up

:26:03. > :26:08.that soft and weak have caught to post warm-up, tell us what your

:26:08. > :26:13.routine is and how it helps. takes me about 75 minutes to warm

:26:13. > :26:17.up. It is a bit older than the youngsters. A few hurdle jumps, and

:26:17. > :26:22.I have got a dodgy Achilles at the moment so I'm doing loads and loads

:26:22. > :26:27.of runs. That is what I do, pretty much every race. Same routine every

:26:27. > :26:31.race. When did the nerves kick in. About an hour ago! The soon as you

:26:31. > :26:36.see the stadium, they are building up. The nerves are jangling because

:26:37. > :26:42.because I don't know where I am but indoors is not my favourite thing,

:26:42. > :26:46.I am treating this as a bit of fun. I don't plan on going to all the

:26:46. > :26:51.indoors, it is a bit of fun. are looking forward to the Olympics,

:26:51. > :26:56.tell me how it is from it your perspective? I live in London and I

:26:56. > :27:01.see the stadium being built. It is going to be fantastic but for the

:27:01. > :27:06.time being, I am just trying to kid myself in one piece. A lot could

:27:06. > :27:10.happen so I am trying to keep in one piece., August, my best ever

:27:10. > :27:13.shape hopefully and things going well as they should do. -- when it

:27:13. > :27:18.comes to August. Thank you.

:27:19. > :27:28.JONATHAN EDWARDS: A sell-out crowd here at Kelvin Hall looking forward

:27:28. > :27:34.to seeing Andy Turner. And more athletics over becoming hours. Andy

:27:34. > :27:37.Turner in the men's 60 metres hurdles. And say hello to our

:27:37. > :27:47.commentary team. First of all, Steve Cram.

:27:47. > :27:52.

:27:52. > :27:59.COMMENTATOR: It all starts here for of his training partners has

:27:59. > :28:07.already run 7.66 and I am sure Andy already is thinking about that.

:28:07. > :28:13.Trying to win his first race of 2012. His first major race, he has

:28:13. > :28:19.run a meeting in London last week. There's the line-up. Lawrence

:28:19. > :28:25.Clarke, very familiar training partner for Andy Turner. Just to

:28:25. > :28:27.remind you, Britain, USA, Germany, Russia and the Commonwealth team.

:28:27. > :28:31.Some British athletes will be competing for the Commonwealth team

:28:31. > :28:39.during the afternoon and this is the former world junior champion,

:28:39. > :28:45.three years ago, Konstantin Shabanov, personal best outdoors

:28:46. > :28:55.last year, 13.56, just a shade quicker than this man, Lawrence

:28:56. > :28:56.

:28:56. > :29:04.Clarke. He moved to train with Malcolm Arnold, of course. His

:29:04. > :29:10.group down in Bath last year. Andy Turner coached by Lord Cullen. He

:29:10. > :29:15.really wants to kick off like he did last year. That wonderful

:29:15. > :29:22.bronze medal in Daegu. Taking advantage where others did not

:29:22. > :29:30.perform and that is what this year is all about. Dexter Faulk, equal

:29:30. > :29:34.4th quickest in the world this year. 7.62. And this young man might be

:29:34. > :29:42.someone to watch this summer, he has already run a personal best

:29:42. > :29:52.indoors and pretty quick outdoors as well, 13.31 but he is a big

:29:52. > :30:06.

:30:06. > :30:16.prospect for them, just 19 years of pretty good field in front of him,

:30:16. > :30:39.

:30:39. > :30:44.Turner. He had a terrible race there. That is not what he wanted.

:30:44. > :30:49.Lawrence Clarke is pretty happy but it was the young Russian, Shabanov,

:30:49. > :30:53.who got a good start and held off the challenge of the American. Andy

:30:53. > :31:03.Turner will have to have a look at what happened there. That was not

:31:03. > :31:08.

:31:08. > :31:14.what he was expecting. Is he limping? He certainly seems to be.

:31:14. > :31:21.It will be interesting to get his comments up to work. Colin, what

:31:21. > :31:26.was your you on that? Did you see anything that suggests there may be

:31:26. > :31:32.something wrong? He did mention that he is suffering from an

:31:32. > :31:37.Achilles tendon problem. It has bucked him for his whole career. It

:31:37. > :31:43.seems to have given him a little bit of hassle. We will see what he

:31:43. > :31:49.says to fill. He did not explode oak of the blocks. Not as

:31:49. > :31:57.aggressive as we expect him to be. Look at the young Russian, powerful

:31:57. > :32:01.and strong. He took the victory quite comfortably over Dexter Faulk.

:32:01. > :32:11.Andy Turner words into the hurdles and clear sit nicely but he does

:32:11. > :32:12.

:32:12. > :32:17.not drive off it. -- clears it. He clashes the barriers, as well,

:32:17. > :32:20.which makes it difficult when you are carrying a little bit of injury.

:32:20. > :32:30.Let us hope that the Achilles is not going to give him too many

:32:30. > :32:36.problems. How did it feel out there? Every step hurts again, the

:32:36. > :32:42.same thing as last year. Every time I land of the hurdle, I can feel it,

:32:42. > :32:48.and you cannot hold yourself in the right position. So I am warming up

:32:48. > :32:52.but every step is painful. I had injection that I had bustier on

:32:52. > :32:57.Friday, and it has not played it up. I will have to go and see the

:32:57. > :33:01.doctors and get something done because I am not training fully and

:33:01. > :33:06.I am not racing right. It is something you were able to nurse

:33:06. > :33:10.yourself through it last year and had a fantastic end to the yeah, so

:33:10. > :33:15.perhaps you can do the same again. The doctors were really could

:33:15. > :33:20.muster year, they sorted out. As long as I can get the treatment

:33:20. > :33:24.that I need to run pain free, then everything will be fine. I am

:33:24. > :33:29.trying to work on things in a race situation and I cannot do that

:33:29. > :33:39.because I'm always in pain. well soon and thanks for talking to

:33:39. > :33:44.

:33:44. > :33:50.and obviously he needs to go and get that sorted out. Lawrence

:33:50. > :34:00.Clarke with the new personal best, a good start to the years for him.

:34:00. > :34:14.

:34:14. > :34:22.And Shabanov with a personal best that will take the lead. Bianca

:34:22. > :34:32.Stuart currently has the lead. But that jump from Proctor is well be

:34:32. > :34:54.

:34:54. > :35:02.lead. Just awaiting confirmation. Six metres 59, Proctor takes the

:35:02. > :35:12.lead. That was a few minutes ago and we go through to the second

:35:12. > :35:21.

:35:21. > :35:27.round and Shara Proctor is on the be as good, we just wait to see

:35:27. > :35:34.what the distance actually is. Interesting to see that one of the

:35:34. > :35:40.best jumpers in the world, Klishina of Russia, has already had two

:35:40. > :35:47.fouls in this competition. Recently, her coach said she had the

:35:47. > :35:55.potential to break the world record. Certainly, her first round file was

:35:55. > :36:03.close to seven metres. But first she has to get a mark on the board.

:36:03. > :36:11.And Proctor still lead for Great Britain. Representing the USA,

:36:11. > :36:21.Funmi Jimoh. She has been in this event before, a run up on two

:36:21. > :36:35.

:36:35. > :36:45.occasions. Giving herself some on that approach and run through

:36:45. > :37:05.

:37:05. > :37:15.the pit, so will not improve on her Germany. She was well over the

:37:15. > :37:20.

:37:20. > :37:30.board. Shara Proctor still leads after two Ranger of competition. --

:37:30. > :37:54.

:37:54. > :38:04.improvement on her first round packed up to the rafters for this

:38:04. > :38:37.

:38:37. > :38:43.at 16 metres. -- the shortest better luck than Andy Turner did in

:38:43. > :38:53.the event for the men. Adigun, representing the Commonwealth, the

:38:53. > :38:59.African Games champion last year. She now lives in Dallas in the USA.

:38:59. > :39:06.She had a terrible time getting here, it took her over 24 hours.

:39:06. > :39:16.Gemma Bennett, the UK indoor champion last year. She has run

:39:16. > :39:25.

:39:25. > :39:30.particularly out of the blocks. In Brussels last year, Pearson, the

:39:30. > :39:40.world champion, fell and Carruthers came storming through to win the

:39:40. > :39:45.

:39:45. > :39:50.event. Roleder, the European champion of last year. Tatyana

:39:50. > :39:55.Dektaryeva, twice winner at the European team championships.

:39:55. > :40:05.Finished fifth in the world championship final last year. The

:40:05. > :40:41.

:40:41. > :40:48.badly away. Here comes Carruthers, full of aggression! She just gets

:40:48. > :40:58.it on the line. Not too bad a time. She would like to have gone under

:40:58. > :41:02.

:41:02. > :41:06.eight seconds. That came after a very modest start. Carruthers,

:41:06. > :41:11.embracing Adigun, who led for about two-thirds of the race until the

:41:11. > :41:19.American came through at the last minute. A good victory after a

:41:19. > :41:24.modest start. DENISE LEWIS: Carruthers is a strong hurdler and

:41:24. > :41:29.the best part of her race is at the end. The aggression sees her

:41:29. > :41:35.through for this race. Out of the blocks, driving hard. A powerful

:41:35. > :41:40.athlete and she makes the barriers look really simple. She is one of a

:41:40. > :41:44.crop of very talented American hurdlers. Just last years she

:41:44. > :41:49.managed to force her way to the top of the tree, getting that silver

:41:49. > :41:59.medal. The good run from her, very solid and showing the class act

:41:59. > :42:15.

:42:15. > :42:22.race of the season out of the way. Yes, last year was such a long

:42:22. > :42:26.season and I have taken time, taking care of my body, because it

:42:26. > :42:32.is a long season again. What does this tell you ever way you are

:42:32. > :42:42.right now? Pretty powerful. To have a win in my first race, I am happy

:42:42. > :42:47.with it. I'm going to run a couple of races and go back home and train.

:42:47. > :42:53.Are you excited as the rest of Britain about Olympics? I am

:42:53. > :43:03.excited. We had the US trials. That is the hardest part. Hopefully see

:43:03. > :43:07.A nice win there for Carruthers but not such a happy story for Andy

:43:07. > :43:13.Turner. He had this problem with his Achilles and it is still an

:43:13. > :43:17.issue. It is always very difficult. As a hurdler you need to put power

:43:17. > :43:23.through your feet. Every time you touch the floor you are generating

:43:23. > :43:33.power. It is very difficult for him if he has anything hampering his

:43:33. > :43:33.

:43:33. > :43:38.will start to feel that pain and it causes him to make mistakes that we

:43:38. > :43:41.would not expect so early in the race. He is not under that much

:43:41. > :43:45.pressure and he starts to clash with the barriers because he cannot

:43:45. > :43:55.lift himself because all he is thinking about is the pain in his

:43:55. > :43:56.

:43:56. > :44:01.foot and not the technical aspects of the race. Without knowing the

:44:01. > :44:07.intimate details of his medical condition, you have to ask why is

:44:07. > :44:12.he doing an indoor meet so early in the season? He says he is not going

:44:12. > :44:17.to do the world indoors, so what he wanted to do boss see where he is

:44:17. > :44:24.at. Now he knows exactly where he is, he is still carrying that

:44:24. > :44:30.injury. He can go away and think about his strategy in preparation

:44:30. > :44:36.for getting healthy. It is going to be the biggest year of his life. He

:44:36. > :44:40.is the Commonwealth champion, all to play for, do not mess it up.

:44:40. > :44:45.has learnt that lesson today and I would rather he learned it in in

:44:45. > :44:49.January when he still has time to progress, rather than make it in

:44:49. > :44:59.May or June. He could have a chat with the doctors and take it from

:44:59. > :45:13.

:45:13. > :45:22.there. We can go back to the Carruthers winning by a whisker.

:45:22. > :45:32.Dektaryeva and Adigun tied on time, but Dektaryeva got the extra point.

:45:32. > :45:38.

:45:38. > :45:42.STEVE CRAM: Not the great start for This is what is to come, Hannah

:45:42. > :45:46.England and Kim Collins and then Helen Clitheroe, she is the British

:45:46. > :45:56.team captain this afternoon and then, of course, Mo Farah in the

:45:56. > :46:02.

:46:02. > :46:07.women's long jump competition. One of the three of rising stars, Darya

:46:07. > :46:11.Klishina of Russia. Yet to get on the board here. European indoor

:46:11. > :46:18.champion from Paris last year. European Under 23 champion in the

:46:18. > :46:23.summer. Somebody spoken of who could potentially break the world

:46:23. > :46:30.record, hits the board well and sales be on the White mark which

:46:30. > :46:35.indicates the leading Mark. 6.59 which stands at Shara Proctor from

:46:35. > :46:38.round one and that was well beyond that mark. She will be pleased that

:46:38. > :46:44.she got something on the board, plenty of room to spare, giving

:46:45. > :46:51.away a fair amount of distance there. Good elevation and that

:46:51. > :47:01.technique through the air. Sends her soaring out into the lead in

:47:01. > :47:07.

:47:07. > :47:12.confirmation, 6.66, her first competition of the year and she

:47:13. > :47:16.takes first place in this international match. The men's pole

:47:17. > :47:25.vault. Opening his account in this afternoon's competition is Steve

:47:25. > :47:32.Lewis. You saw him in Birmingham last year. He suffered an injury

:47:32. > :47:38.which ended his indoor season back competing indoors competition now.

:47:38. > :47:43.Ba is set at 5.30 metres with his opening vault. It is worth

:47:43. > :47:48.mentioning that his competition started at 5.15 and that was the

:47:48. > :47:58.opening height for Andrew Sutcliffe representing the Commonwealth team

:47:58. > :48:05.

:48:05. > :48:15.athletes lining up for the men's 400 metres. That is two laps of the

:48:15. > :48:21.

:48:21. > :48:27.track. Jamaal Torrance is on the club and he certainly enjoys this

:48:27. > :48:30.event. A tall order here. There he is on the outside. A bronze medal

:48:30. > :48:40.in the European indoors last year, a really good performance on that

:48:40. > :48:47.

:48:47. > :48:56.day. He didn't really translate bronze medal in the world indoors

:48:56. > :49:03.in 2010. World indoor championships this winter, in March rather.

:49:03. > :49:13.Torrance could well be a big part of the 4x400 for the Americans this

:49:13. > :49:18.

:49:18. > :49:23.summer. Miguel Rigau there, with his personal best which is not that

:49:23. > :49:27.good. This man could be a big threat though and had a brilliant

:49:27. > :49:33.lake and the championships, European Championships in Barcelona

:49:33. > :49:40.when he came from 5th to get the lead and the Russian team have off

:49:41. > :49:50.Mark Rooney to win the gold on that occasion. Chris Brown, 33 now. The

:49:50. > :49:57.nearly man of world 400 metres running. And here's the reigning

:49:57. > :50:07.indoor world champion which gives you an indication ahead of Richard

:50:07. > :50:10.

:50:10. > :50:20.Buck. Many capable of running good indoor races. A good quality men's

:50:20. > :50:23.

:50:23. > :50:33.to make his mind up. Does the attack this in the first 200 and

:50:33. > :50:49.

:50:50. > :50:55.try to get to the front and control but has been passed by Chris Brown.

:50:55. > :51:00.Torrance is way off at the moment so it is Brown setting the pace.

:51:00. > :51:04.Pavel Trenikhin will have a bit of a battle. Pavel Trenikhin sitting

:51:05. > :51:10.on the shoulder of Brown. The Russian go straight past and Bram

:51:10. > :51:15.looks like he maybe could miss out on the first 200. Richard Buck

:51:16. > :51:19.looking for a bit of room but Pavel Trenikhin looking strong and

:51:19. > :51:24.powerful in the home straight. Richard Buck is in third place at

:51:24. > :51:27.the moment but it is all about Pavel Trenikhin. He wins it for

:51:27. > :51:34.Russia and Torrance came through second ahead of Brown and then

:51:34. > :51:38.Richard Buck in 4th place. 44.68 -- 46.60 it, third quickest in the

:51:38. > :51:43.world this year. That is not the story of the race, it was the

:51:43. > :51:47.manner of his win. Sat back, that Brown take the first 200 and then

:51:47. > :51:51.attack straight away. He did not hang around. And kept going away

:51:51. > :52:00.from the rest of them. Absolutely nothing they could do about that.

:52:00. > :52:04.Richard Buck, 4th place. A solid run I guess but Russia with this

:52:04. > :52:09.man. You think of Cruz not as well. They have developed some good 400

:52:09. > :52:15.metre runners as well. They will certainly have a good 4x400 team,

:52:15. > :52:19.the summer. And Chris Brown will look back on this and think I could

:52:19. > :52:23.not respond and the Russian just kept on going. Richard Buck

:52:23. > :52:27.languishing back in last place but made up a place coming into the

:52:27. > :52:33.home straight. But what a good victory by Pavel Trenikhin,

:52:33. > :52:35.lifetime best for him. Chris Brown had no response. Remember, he is

:52:35. > :52:41.one of the best in the world. Richard Buck coming through into

:52:41. > :52:48.4th place and this guy really motoring. You can easily imagine

:52:48. > :52:58.him running below 45s by the summer. He is tall, lean and a very strong

:52:58. > :53:00.

:53:00. > :53:10.as what running. -- running of the low 45s. The has already run a 45

:53:10. > :53:11.

:53:11. > :53:14.indoors beating the 800 metres specialist. That was worth about 49

:53:14. > :53:23.but today is a really good performance. 4th place went to

:53:23. > :53:28.Richard Buck. Let's find out what Richard, you always give it your

:53:28. > :53:33.best, how would you assess the race? World champion, world bronze

:53:33. > :53:36.medallist. It is good to be in that field. The first race is always

:53:36. > :53:40.hard so it is good to get it under my belt and move on and get faster

:53:40. > :53:44.races. Going into the unknown somewhat at the start of every year,

:53:44. > :53:49.you put in the hard work and training and meant to reflect on

:53:49. > :53:53.the track. Definitely. Things have been going well in training so I

:53:53. > :53:59.have no doubt I will get faster and hopefully it will come together

:53:59. > :54:03.better for me. The immediate goal targeting the world indoors? Yes,

:54:03. > :54:13.and 20 told on everybody's mind. course, a little case of the

:54:13. > :54:17.

:54:17. > :54:25.Olympics! We wish you well, good competition. Steve Lewis looking at

:54:25. > :54:30.his third and final attempt at 5.30 metres. Clearly has greater

:54:30. > :54:34.ambitions than this. A spot of pressure then. Does he have a good

:54:35. > :54:40.response? The Commonwealth Games silver medallist. He gets it, goes

:54:41. > :54:45.clear. And just a spot of relief suggested in that expression which

:54:45. > :54:49.means he put himself under a fair bit of pressure facing a third time

:54:49. > :54:55.clearance in a relatively modest height. He has already got 5.50

:54:55. > :54:58.metres under his belt this season. The competition just a few days ago.

:54:58. > :55:04.Managing to fight his way over the bar with plenty of daylight

:55:04. > :55:10.suggesting that it was just a technical thing why he did not get

:55:10. > :55:15.it right on the first two occasions. That was a huge sigh of relief as

:55:15. > :55:22.his coach, the lead coach down at the Lee Valley centre on the east

:55:22. > :55:27.side of London. Certainly worth pointing out again but the young

:55:27. > :55:35.Sutcliffe representing the, well, he has gone clear at 5.30 as well.

:55:35. > :55:45.A personal best and the win for the Russian. Richard Buck just held on

:55:45. > :55:48.

:55:49. > :55:52.too much as far as the overall match is concerned that Russia now

:55:52. > :56:02.one point ahead of the United States and Britain still

:56:02. > :56:06.

:56:06. > :56:16.languishing in 5th with just four are in round four. Shara Proctor

:56:16. > :56:31.

:56:31. > :56:37.currently has her in second place Klishina? It does not appear to be

:56:37. > :56:44.an improvement on her around one effort. No improvement for Proctor

:56:44. > :56:54.in the 4th round. Giving away acres of space on the board, a mammoth 16

:56:54. > :56:55.

:57:32. > :57:38.and that is an improvement once more, Darya Klishina and her first

:57:38. > :57:43.indoor competition of this season. Really rounding into form nicely.

:57:43. > :57:50.She has gone seven metres outdoors but her best indoors, 6.87. That

:57:50. > :57:54.could be approaching that type of distance. Sadly those two early

:57:54. > :58:00.fouls were a bit of a wake-up call for Darya Klishina. She came up

:58:00. > :58:04.down the runway like a startled rabbit producing extra speed. Much

:58:04. > :58:10.more speed than we have seen so far this afternoon and that looks like

:58:10. > :58:13.it is long. It is, an improvement once more like nine centimetres.

:58:13. > :58:23.6.75, she extends her lead and underlines her position in first

:59:37. > :59:43.prospect indeed nastier and nastier with her first race this year. None

:59:43. > :59:47.of these athletes have run a 400 metres race doing 2012. There is

:59:47. > :59:52.Natasha Hastings, winner of eight gold medals across various World

:00:02. > :00:06.

:00:06. > :00:10.paper, the American is the fastest Cox and Oskan-Clarke get on. Tough

:00:10. > :00:17.race for both of them. Great Britain desperately need big points

:00:17. > :00:27.here. Both her parents were born in Britain and that is why she is now

:01:22. > :01:40.

:01:40. > :01:49.Hastings and Cremer. That has done going wide. Russia get first, USA

:01:49. > :01:56.second. 53.52, not particularly fast. It gives you an idea of the

:01:56. > :02:04.quality of the Russian athlete. The Russian winning here and they hold

:02:04. > :02:10.one and two in the world rankings this year. Shana Cox, a few of the

:02:10. > :02:15.potential that she has, led for 370 metres of that race, only to be

:02:15. > :02:25.overtaken in the home straight. This had a early-season race

:02:25. > :02:28.

:02:28. > :02:34.Britain all over. People struggling with where they were. Hastings was

:02:34. > :02:42.sent back and had to run wide around everybody. Look at Shana Cox,

:02:42. > :02:48.she looks in control, but she looks a bit heavy. If you're not in shape

:02:48. > :02:55.at this time of year it will catch you out in the last 50m. They let

:02:55. > :02:59.it all the way open for the Russian, Terekhova, to sneak through on the

:02:59. > :03:06.inside. She is probably the only one who can hold her head up high

:03:06. > :03:13.there. Cox looks relaxed in the face but it was a bit ponderous for

:03:14. > :03:23.me. And Hastings messed it up at the end of the first lap. Shana Cox

:03:24. > :03:30.

:03:30. > :03:34.is now with a foul. -- Phil. I wish I could have finished a bit

:03:34. > :03:39.stronger. I was happy with the beginning of my race. The first

:03:39. > :03:44.race of the year. It is a real test to come out here for the first race

:03:44. > :03:49.of the season and no what you have to work on from here on. I like

:03:49. > :03:52.where I am right now. I had been told that this track was a little

:03:52. > :03:56.tricky and because of the turns, but you have to deal with those

:03:56. > :04:03.things when you are competing in different areas. I think they did

:04:03. > :04:08.OK with that. Is the world indoor championships on your radar? It is.

:04:08. > :04:18.I would love to go to Turkey and compete. Hopefully, couple of weeks

:04:18. > :04:42.

:04:42. > :04:49.from now, that is where I will be. to the match position but Russia

:04:49. > :04:54.have extended their lead by a single point. The Russians have had

:04:54. > :04:58.three personal bests, so they have certainly come in good form and

:04:58. > :05:07.that is probably because they have had quite a few meetings already in

:05:07. > :05:15.Russia looking very good. They have come here and they mean business.

:05:15. > :05:21.Strong performances. They have a cash incentive, going into Olympic

:05:21. > :05:26.Games, Echenique great performances there. Big money, probably after

:05:26. > :05:34.million from these big Russian moguls that we have living in

:05:34. > :05:40.London. Shana Cox gave a pretty decent the Kate of herself by she

:05:40. > :05:46.should have shut off but inside lane. Absolutely. I think she ran

:05:46. > :05:53.very well but just here she should have closed down the gap. Showing a

:05:53. > :05:59.little bit of inexperience. But she is looking strong. A good solid

:05:59. > :06:06.performance. And she has been working well in training. I think

:06:06. > :06:13.it could be a fantastic partnership. Clearly, she is a good, strong

:06:13. > :06:18.training partner for Christine Ohuruogo. I think probably the

:06:18. > :06:25.American would have won that bid she had not been tripped by the

:06:25. > :06:28.bell. She was coming through very strongly but that is the nature of

:06:28. > :06:34.400m running indoors. You have these little dispute with your

:06:34. > :06:43.fellow athlete. One of the highlights coming up next, Hannah

:06:43. > :06:48.England in the 1500m. She has been out in Kenya at the training camp.

:06:48. > :06:54.You what accustomed to live here. What benefits do you get from a

:06:54. > :07:02.month or five weeks here? It is well documented, the physiological

:07:02. > :07:07.effects of being at altitude. It is tough, the terrain and a lifestyle,

:07:07. > :07:10.and it toughens you up and make you a better athlete. Everybody talks

:07:10. > :07:16.about the lifestyle of the Kenyan athlete which is completely devoted

:07:16. > :07:21.to their sport, and that rubs off. It is brilliant to get away from

:07:21. > :07:26.perhaps the Western culture that we are more dues two. Even as a full-

:07:26. > :07:31.time athlete, there are a lot of distractions at home. You come here

:07:32. > :07:37.and it is just 100% training. being around the place, they call

:07:37. > :07:41.it the home of champions and it is easy to feel that. It is, they have

:07:41. > :07:45.such an enthusiasm for athletics here. All the little kids just love

:07:46. > :07:50.it when you run around. Every now and then you get to see one of

:07:51. > :07:55.those famous Kenyan champions and it is inspirational. We are into

:07:55. > :07:59.the Olympic year, a terrific year at last year for you. What are your

:07:59. > :08:05.thoughts? I am really excited and I have a week now until my first race

:08:05. > :08:09.and cannot wait to start 2012. silver medal was a massive shock. I

:08:09. > :08:15.wonder what it has done to her expectations for this year? She is

:08:15. > :08:19.not getting much attention. That is a good thing. She can going and

:08:19. > :08:26.prepare just as she sees bed. It was a surprise medal and a much

:08:26. > :08:30.deserved one for a very lovely girl. She has gone to Kenya and said that

:08:30. > :08:35.me eat, sleep and breathe by training, and see what that brings.

:08:35. > :08:40.I think there is still a lot come from Hannah England. She has this

:08:40. > :08:45.win to develop because you have the likes of Mo Farah and Dai Greene,

:08:45. > :08:50.all these big names, and yet she is the silver-medallist and can come

:08:50. > :08:55.in under the radar. I like the freshness of Hannah England. Every

:08:55. > :08:59.time you hear the speech, she sounds very enthusiastic. She does

:08:59. > :09:05.not put herself under too much pressure, she says this is what I'm

:09:05. > :09:10.capable of doing a number to work hard and get to the top of my game.

:09:10. > :09:20.I wonder sometimes if she goes to bed and thinks I could have snuck

:09:20. > :09:21.

:09:21. > :09:31.that gold! She has not got any easy start this afternoon. Charlene

:09:31. > :09:37.

:09:37. > :09:47.are in the final round of the women's long jump. Only Shana Cox

:09:47. > :10:03.

:10:04. > :10:13.can reel in the leader -- Shara first round effort. It moved up to

:10:14. > :10:22.

:10:22. > :10:32.fourth place in the UK all-time No improvement for Proctor, second

:10:32. > :10:43.

:10:43. > :10:47.debut in 2011. She has just completed her university study. A

:10:47. > :10:54.red flag for that one. But she wins the competition with her fourth

:10:54. > :10:59.round effort. Considering that is her first competition of the indoor

:10:59. > :11:07.season and she had surgery after last season, she is looking pretty

:11:07. > :11:17.good for this Olympic year. By Fred Fred, winner of the long jump --

:11:17. > :11:43.

:11:43. > :11:47.Commonwealth team. I think this is an event where we have such

:11:47. > :11:52.strength in depth. Anybody who wears the British best in the

:11:52. > :11:56.Olympic arena will have the opportunity to get a medal, just as

:11:56. > :12:01.Hannah England did at the world championships last year. Certainly

:12:01. > :12:04.one of the more popular members of the team and she will want to do

:12:04. > :12:11.well indoors. Last season she started well but did not run

:12:11. > :12:15.particularly well in the World Indoor Cham kinships. For Charlene

:12:15. > :12:19.Thomas, a superb run in the European team championships and

:12:19. > :12:23.then injury put an early stop to her season. She has been training

:12:23. > :12:32.well in Kenya with Hannah England and the other English endurance

:12:32. > :12:42.athletes. Maracheva will be a danger in this race, she has a good

:12:42. > :12:53.

:12:53. > :12:57.800-metre pedigree. Krebs, from Germany, has run... The best

:12:57. > :13:01.performance for Moser indoors would go back to the world championships

:13:01. > :13:06.in 2006 but she has been the American champion of a few

:13:06. > :13:13.occasions. He really experienced indoor runner. An intriguing first

:13:13. > :13:17.race of the year for Charlene Thomas and Hannah England. It will

:13:17. > :13:22.be interesting the way that they will approach this. They have been

:13:22. > :13:27.watching each other in training. It is one of the interesting dynamics

:13:27. > :13:32.of the camp that we have out there, a lot of the athletes are almost

:13:32. > :13:35.keeping an eye on each other. Charlene Thomas has got a good

:13:35. > :13:40.finish but Hannah England has shown that there are not many people

:13:40. > :13:50.quicker than her. She is deceptively quick in the last 150

:13:50. > :14:00.metres. Tactics, as ever, all important in the 1500m. The first

:14:00. > :14:00.

:14:00. > :14:05.200m completed in her modest that J 0.0 J. Hannah England just on the

:14:06. > :14:15.shoulder of Moser of the USA. Charlene Thomas quite happy at the

:14:16. > :14:19.

:14:19. > :14:24.moment to sit at the back. Six laps to go. Certainly, Hannah England,

:14:24. > :14:28.we heard her in conversation and every time week hear her we think

:14:28. > :14:33.what an easy-going woman she is but she has a steely determination

:14:33. > :14:40.which took her to that silver medal and hopefully more on this in the

:14:40. > :14:47.future. Surely she has a great future in front of her. Happy to

:14:47. > :14:53.run in 4th place at the moment. first lap was buried slow indeed

:14:53. > :14:56.other well not bother the two British girls. I still think Hannah

:14:56. > :15:01.England is still quite underdeveloped in the sense of her

:15:01. > :15:04.training and she has gradually been building up her strength and her

:15:04. > :15:09.endurance background. As she continues to do that she is only

:15:09. > :15:15.going to get better. She has a good racing brain are most of the time.

:15:15. > :15:21.She knows how to win races. As I said, the tactics are crucial in

:15:21. > :15:31.the 1500m. Charlene Thomas, at the moment, keeping an eye on Hannah

:15:31. > :15:43.

:15:43. > :15:46.this point. Charlene getting a bit nervous. 3.5 laps to go and the

:15:46. > :15:51.atmosphere in this stadium, absolutely outstanding. Charlene

:15:51. > :15:59.Thomas making her first move in the race, goes past England, trying to

:15:59. > :16:05.go past the American, Treniere Moser. Denise Krebs but all I seven

:16:05. > :16:08.Hannah England goes into the lead. England made the first move and

:16:08. > :16:14.took everybody by surprise but not a big move, just an injection of

:16:14. > :16:18.pace but not the full cake and the Russian will be a danger. Irina

:16:18. > :16:28.Maracheva got a bit of a nudge from Denise Krebs there. Hannah England

:16:28. > :16:32.has to hold this. Hannah England does not want to lose the advantage

:16:32. > :16:39.with two laps to go. Denise Krebs is back inside her and realises she

:16:39. > :16:46.will not get past her at this point. Charlene Thomas stretched. 500

:16:47. > :16:50.metres to go. -- 300 metres to go. This crowd will lift the roof off

:16:50. > :16:54.this place if Hannah England can stay in first place. She is looking

:16:54. > :16:58.very sharp fall this time of the year. We know how much endurance

:16:58. > :17:03.work she has done but this is a real show of speed and Denise Krebs

:17:03. > :17:09.of Germany still going with her. This is really good from Hannah

:17:09. > :17:14.England. A big injection, she ran a 30 seconds 200 metres. She has

:17:14. > :17:16.kicked again but this is good from the German athlete, Denise Krebs.

:17:16. > :17:21.You would expect her to challenge England but she still looks strong.

:17:21. > :17:25.The German girl is looking behind, Charlene Thomas is fading but it is

:17:25. > :17:28.all about Hannah England. She will hang on. The crowd are doing their

:17:28. > :17:35.best to lift her. Denise Krebs is attacking her on the outside, it

:17:35. > :17:40.will be tight! Just losing I think. The dip at the end was an attempt

:17:40. > :17:45.to try to snatch it. The German girl is looking to her coach at the

:17:46. > :17:50.side asking if she won it. The smile is meaning she thinks so. The

:17:50. > :17:53.tightest of margins. Hannah England did not do too much wrong there.

:17:53. > :17:57.First race back, he will always be a bit rusty but I thought that was

:17:57. > :18:02.a pretty strong performance from her. She really tried to take on

:18:02. > :18:06.everybody. The crowd are cheering. Paul, sort this out because I

:18:06. > :18:11.can't! I think the German just got it. You could be forgiven for

:18:11. > :18:14.thinking that Hannah England was coming back at her over the last 15

:18:14. > :18:20.metres but coming into the home straight, Hannah England was

:18:20. > :18:25.leading. You will not get it from this angle but if we go around to

:18:25. > :18:32.the finish line we will get a good idea as to who won it. Everybody

:18:32. > :18:37.thought it was Denise Krebs but Hannah England showing that her

:18:37. > :18:45.year has got to a good start. Denise Krebs just with the lead got

:18:45. > :18:49.it. A very good run by both athletes early in 2012 and shows a

:18:49. > :18:52.huge amount of promise for Hannah England. Charlene Thomas as well in

:18:52. > :19:02.the background running for the Commonwealth, a good start to her

:19:02. > :19:07.

:19:07. > :19:17.should focus on. She was stronger did not quite have it at the very

:19:17. > :19:19.

:19:19. > :19:27.end and certainly she would not want to be beaten come the summer.

:19:27. > :19:33.She was pipped on the line. A slow race in terms of the overall time.

:19:33. > :19:43.Hannah England losing out by two hundredths of a second. Charlene

:19:43. > :19:44.

:19:44. > :19:49.Thomas lost third place and that PHIL JONES: Always agonising to

:19:49. > :19:55.lose by such a short margin. It was a lot of fun. I didn't get to do my

:19:55. > :20:00.race time because they did not want to go that La, I was back in 5th.

:20:00. > :20:03.It was not a good place to be an so I thought I would just go. I had to

:20:03. > :20:08.hold of Denise off earlier and in the home straight, I have not got

:20:08. > :20:12.an awful lot of speed but I have been training in Kenya but I am

:20:12. > :20:19.excited about running the trials in Sheffield in two weeks. And

:20:19. > :20:26.Birmingham after that. Happy I can beat Charlotte. It is it better to

:20:26. > :20:31.run in Kenya? It is a lot flatter. It is good. What about the overall

:20:31. > :20:35.excitement about your prospects for this year at the Olympics, how much

:20:35. > :20:39.are you having to 10 per them at this point? I am trying not to

:20:39. > :20:49.tamper them. It is such a good thing to be a part of -- 10 per

:20:49. > :20:55.them. I am so excited. Well done and may there be many more

:20:55. > :21:01.successes. JONATHAN EDWARDS: Consensus, a very

:21:01. > :21:09.good start. Yes, Hannah coming through and winning -- nearly

:21:09. > :21:12.winning that. Clearly she has been at altitude, she has got a lot of

:21:12. > :21:15.strength and could she have approached that perhaps better in

:21:15. > :21:24.the second lap? I don't know but either way, good performance.

:21:24. > :21:30.nice to see her embracing 2012, she will enjoy it. But not trying to

:21:30. > :21:34.put too much pressure on but you must remember that athletics is

:21:34. > :21:39.always about the individual athlete and how they approach it is very

:21:39. > :21:43.important as an individual. said in her interview with Phil,

:21:43. > :21:48.she is not as sharp as she would like to be put when you are in good

:21:48. > :21:51.shape you can get your sharpness and get that eventually. She is not

:21:51. > :21:54.too worried which is the great thing. She has got a great spirit

:21:54. > :21:58.and she does not seem too disappointed which is perfect.

:21:58. > :22:08.Absolutely, and looking at the end of the race there. The German,

:22:08. > :22:09.

:22:09. > :22:14.Denise, just have the strength to take across the line. She had to

:22:14. > :22:18.change her tactics. He S. But what you need and what all these

:22:18. > :22:23.athletes lead is enough experiences under your belt to know how to cope

:22:23. > :22:29.under the intense pressure in the Olympic Games. The main a BA

:22:29. > :22:34.championship distance any more but we have got a man's 200 metres and

:22:34. > :22:38.Kim Collins spoke to Phil Jones earlier on doing warm-up.

:22:38. > :22:42.PHIL JONES: We are in the warm-up area with Kim Collins, familiar

:22:42. > :22:47.face. Tell me about your excitement, being here in Britain, first event

:22:47. > :22:52.of the year. It is very exciting. It is always great to come to

:22:52. > :22:59.Glasgow for this match. USA, Great Britain and as well as Russia,

:22:59. > :23:04.Germany, we have all, over to see what we have got. Tell me about

:23:04. > :23:11.this particular area as far as you are concerned, preparing for a race.

:23:11. > :23:15.What kind of routine do you have? short distance so it does not take

:23:15. > :23:20.that long but it is very difficult because the temperature, coming in

:23:20. > :23:23.here it is great for me, a smaller space but I try to make sure I get

:23:23. > :23:28.it done. Your mum of the most relaxed people around, a bit of

:23:28. > :23:32.edge but not from you. I have been doing it so long. We all get

:23:32. > :23:42.nervous but you don't have to show it. Don't let them know you wonder

:23:42. > :23:49.this! We will speak to you later, the most popular athletes and the

:23:49. > :23:59.way he goes, he starts in lanes 34 this event. The rarely run them's

:23:59. > :24:10.

:24:10. > :24:14.200 metres indoors. Not part of the off to a very good start and only

:24:14. > :24:18.finished 4th in this event but then he went on to have one of the most

:24:44. > :24:50.which won the World Student Games, Russian champion indoors and out in

:24:50. > :24:55.2008. And then Kim Collins, former world champion, former Commonwealth

:24:56. > :24:59.Games champion and amazingly a sprint finalist at three Olympics

:25:00. > :25:03.and four World Championships, 35 years old but he has still got a

:25:03. > :25:13.huge zest and enthusiasm. For track-and-field.

:25:13. > :25:13.

:25:13. > :25:17.anybody being introduced to this crowd. And it Talbot, first came to

:25:17. > :25:27.prominence last year when he won the UK indoor championships over

:25:27. > :25:27.

:25:28. > :25:36.200 metres. And has been called the true British rocket. He ran a

:25:36. > :25:46.substantial personal best. And Calvin Smith, his former coach, for

:25:46. > :25:51.father, twice a World champion. This guy specialises at four and

:25:51. > :25:56.metres but he is also good at the shorter distance. Some real class

:25:56. > :26:06.opposition thought Danny Talbot. Great Britain still looking for the

:26:06. > :26:13.

:26:13. > :26:23.Kim Collins in the picture now has got the Briton in his side. -- in

:26:23. > :26:28.

:26:28. > :26:33.Kim Collins as always, a brilliant start of. Absolutely flying down

:26:33. > :26:37.the back straight. Calvin Smith trying to hold his position on the

:26:37. > :26:47.outside, Danny Talbot just ahead. What hu there's going to be if

:26:47. > :26:54.

:26:54. > :27:02.Collins can win this one. Can Danny in Kelvin Hall. 21.17 the winning

:27:02. > :27:08.time. Tremendous performance by Danny Talbot. His first

:27:08. > :27:14.international victory and his coach Dan Couzins will be absolutely

:27:14. > :27:18.delighted with that. I don't think it will just be his coach, a great

:27:18. > :27:23.run by him. Really nice control. Did not panic at all when Kim

:27:23. > :27:30.Collins came up to him very quickly indeed. But coming off a very good

:27:30. > :27:34.60 metres, 6.73 he ran it earlier. Obviously he is feeling very

:27:34. > :27:39.confident. He is, remember, the UK indoor champion and you can see

:27:39. > :27:44.clearly why here. No panic whatsoever. Kim Collins explodes

:27:44. > :27:47.onto his shoulder and you can see there himself, Danny keeping

:27:47. > :27:53.composure and moving alongside Calvin Smith. Pushes into this,

:27:53. > :27:58.because now he can use the impetus of the curve to just come past him

:27:58. > :28:03.Collins. He uses this very well indeed. Comes down the gradient

:28:03. > :28:09.smoothly, cleanly and takes a good, clear victory. Great performance.

:28:09. > :28:14.That was not just close in the end, he won it comfortably and shows a

:28:14. > :28:24.lot of promise. Lot of promise indeed. Great young man and he

:28:24. > :28:29.

:28:29. > :28:38.chewing 2012. -- during 2012. To confirm the results in just a

:28:38. > :28:48.moment. Danny Talbot, 21.17. The season's best performance from him

:28:48. > :28:57.

:28:57. > :29:02.and Kim Collins in second place PHIL JONES: That is hardly fair, he

:29:02. > :29:06.has got 15 years on you! It was a great race and as much as you want

:29:06. > :29:11.to win it, you never know what will happen. You got a great cheer at

:29:11. > :29:16.the beginning. The best of the day so far. I had to come back in the

:29:16. > :29:19.60 and do well for. We will the to go back and get ready. Thank you

:29:19. > :29:26.for the entertainment so far. And we can bring in the winner, here he

:29:26. > :29:31.is. Congratulations, tremendous performance. What a scalp to take.

:29:31. > :29:36.Definitely. Such an honour to be on the track with him. In sprinting

:29:36. > :29:42.and athletics in general, he is a legend. What a good atmosphere,

:29:42. > :29:46.were you able to feed off that? and the cheer for Hannah England, I

:29:46. > :29:49.thought we could use this. Home advantage now. Let's use it.

:29:49. > :29:55.Obviously this is not a championship event, the 200 metres,

:29:55. > :29:58.but what about your goals for the year ahead? The main goal is

:29:58. > :30:02.obviously the Olympics. Qualification in summer and then we

:30:02. > :30:12.move on from there. We wish you well for that and congratulations,

:30:12. > :30:21.

:30:21. > :30:30.great entertainment for of thank up the table. But the Russians

:30:30. > :30:36.A great performance and a bit of surprise, but he looked incredibly

:30:36. > :30:44.strong. What a fantastic run. The Olympic year, you just want to see

:30:44. > :30:53.these youngsters thinking, just maybe I can get out there and

:30:53. > :30:59.really take a British best. Collins was the class act in that field and

:30:59. > :31:05.went off showing all his 100-metre strength. But he held his own and

:31:05. > :31:11.came off the bend brilliantly. He used the momentum and accelerated

:31:11. > :31:16.away. That transition off the last bend, he probably did it bike four

:31:16. > :31:20.metres. Yes, and it shows the confidence that you have to have

:31:20. > :31:25.been running. It does not matter who you are running against, you

:31:25. > :31:35.have to run your own race. A great action so far and still plenty more

:31:35. > :31:35.

:31:35. > :32:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 83 seconds

:32:16. > :32:26.Sutcliffe. He is representing the Commonwealth team. Steve Lewis

:32:26. > :32:29.

:32:29. > :32:39.collected to pass at five metres 40. -- elected. Again, he did not have

:32:39. > :32:46.

:32:46. > :32:50.the momentum to carry him over the his season's best, his personal

:32:50. > :32:57.best, and continue in the red hot form that he has demonstrated so

:32:57. > :33:06.far. Just himself and Starodubtsev of Russia left in the competition.

:33:06. > :33:16.Third place for Sutcliffe for the Commonwealth team and fourth place

:33:16. > :33:16.

:33:16. > :34:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 83 seconds

:34:02. > :34:10.to 2007. For Margaret Adeoye, she will be looking to get under 24

:34:10. > :34:19.seconds, if she can. There are not just individual sprint places to

:34:19. > :34:25.think about, but we late places as well for the summer. She is the US

:34:25. > :34:35.Belleek -- collegiate champion from last year. Cathleen Tschirch, has

:34:35. > :34:35.

:34:35. > :34:45.already had one race this year. And possibly the favourite although the

:34:45. > :34:50.lane draw may not help, Gushchina. Did she gets away quickly, watch

:34:50. > :35:00.her finishing strongly. Perhaps she was disappointed last year to only

:35:00. > :35:14.

:35:14. > :35:24.make the semi-finals in the world competition outside her, McGrone

:35:24. > :35:39.

:35:39. > :35:45.setting the pace in the outside lanes. But Gushchina is going

:35:45. > :35:51.backwards and it is at the ODA coming through. The German just

:35:51. > :36:01.faded enough and I think Adeoye stolid on do the line. That is a

:36:01. > :36:05.

:36:05. > :36:10.massive jump forward. 23.69. A great run and a great win.

:36:10. > :36:14.Gushchina disappeared down the back straight. For a while it looked as

:36:14. > :36:24.though Tschirch might win it but she just faded and allowed Margaret

:36:24. > :36:30.Adeoye to get the victory. Two surprise wins in the 200m. COLIN

:36:30. > :36:34.JACKSON: She got an excellent start. She got onto the first curve really

:36:34. > :36:38.well indeed. The German and the Russian were battling out the left

:36:38. > :36:44.of the screen but Margaret was keeping her head and keeping nice

:36:44. > :36:49.and cool. No worries whatsoever. Coming to the final turn she has

:36:49. > :36:56.her eyes clearly on the Russian and the German and she believes in

:36:56. > :37:02.herself. She comes off this turn in control and drives really hard. In

:37:02. > :37:11.comparison, the German struggled. A great performance by Margaret there.

:37:11. > :37:15.She must be looking forward to more and more races at this level.

:37:15. > :37:21.are going to have a look as something which I had not seen in a

:37:21. > :37:25.top-class competition before. Look at McGrone in lane three on the

:37:25. > :37:33.back straight. She is in an international competition, running

:37:33. > :37:38.hard. She adjusts her shorts! is very unusual! In by was the team

:37:38. > :37:48.manager or coach I would say get on with it! Yes, you would be

:37:48. > :37:56.disappointed. But a great win for Margaret Adeoye. She is with Phil

:37:56. > :38:01.These victories are catching. A tremendous performance. I think

:38:02. > :38:07.there's a sense of disbelief at the moment. There is, definitely!

:38:07. > :38:11.Appear like I'm in great shape but I'm shocked. Or does that tell you

:38:11. > :38:16.about what is to come for this season, what more is in the tank

:38:16. > :38:22.for you? I do not know, I am just at the moment taking it to step at

:38:22. > :38:28.a time. Each race, I know that I will improve, hopefully. When you

:38:28. > :38:32.came in today, realistically, what were you hoping? Was hoping to win.

:38:32. > :38:42.There is no expectation for me and I felt good so I thought I would go

:38:42. > :38:48.

:38:48. > :38:58.for it. Enjoyed the moment, well who, when they get drawn in lane

:38:58. > :39:06.two, have not turned up in the past, but she won it from lane two. That

:39:06. > :39:10.has made a bit of a difference over the last 10 or 15 minutes. We have

:39:10. > :39:20.closed the gap on Russia and moved ahead of the United States and

:39:20. > :39:26.

:39:26. > :39:33.We are shocked as Margaret Adeoye is. Absolutely, and what a

:39:33. > :39:38.performance. She has only run a three tense quicker outdoors. The

:39:38. > :39:46.mind boggles what she can do if she stays healthy and keeps this form.

:39:46. > :39:50.She went out brilliantly, kept her form, kept using her lane and

:39:50. > :40:00.working off McGrone, and I cannot believe what she did with her

:40:00. > :40:02.

:40:02. > :40:08.short! She lost ground here. We are watching the wrong race here, but

:40:08. > :40:14.never mind. That was the 400m. Margaret, I think her best

:40:14. > :40:19.performances were the double in the University championships. To come

:40:19. > :40:25.here and have the majority to do that is very encouraging. It is

:40:25. > :40:29.very encouraging. She has had two very good coaches in her career. I

:40:29. > :40:37.think, absolutely, have we had more to see from her. Fingers crossed,

:40:37. > :40:45.this is the right race. There it is, we know it is now! The American

:40:45. > :40:49.loss so much ground by doing that. Nevertheless, Adeoye ran well and

:40:49. > :40:55.kept her form. I have to say she ran what seemed to be the perfect

:40:55. > :40:59.race be. Before the event you would not have picked out the 200m to

:41:00. > :41:04.provide us with double maximum points. It was great to see that,

:41:04. > :41:10.two guys who were inspired to go out there and do well. Danny said

:41:10. > :41:16.that the crowd lifted him and Margaret Adeoye came off the back

:41:16. > :41:26.of that and smashed her personal best. Willie could to see. We can

:41:26. > :41:44.

:41:44. > :41:54.get back out now to catch up with best there. But he did not really

:41:54. > :42:03.commit. But still, Good afternoon's work for the German athlete. By

:42:03. > :42:13.0.72, his best clearance. We will see if Starodubtsev can capitalise

:42:13. > :42:18.and go higher. He has been in red- hot form this season. He is the

:42:18. > :42:26.former world European and junior champion. He needs to transfers

:42:26. > :42:32.some of that talent through to the senior ranks. He cleared 5.80 this

:42:32. > :42:42.year. But the Russian season tends to start early in December and he

:42:42. > :43:07.

:43:07. > :43:17.has already been over five metres compass at five. Some 27. -- 5.77.

:43:17. > :43:37.

:43:37. > :43:42.The pole vault has a clock and clearance so the winner of the

:43:42. > :43:52.competition is Karsten Dilla. He finishes in second place for the

:43:52. > :44:17.

:44:17. > :44:21.Championships recently. He was seven seconds ahead of his nearest

:44:21. > :44:31.rival and in doing so got a qualifying tie for the World Indoor

:44:31. > :44:36.

:44:36. > :44:43.Championships later this year. Solomon, his lifetime best was set

:44:43. > :44:48.last season. Soren Ludolph, the German indoor champion and outdoors

:44:49. > :44:58.in 2011, he had a good season. Yet to run indoors over this distance

:44:59. > :44:59.

:44:59. > :45:09.this year. Tukhtachev, the European Under 23 champion a couple of years

:45:09. > :45:12.

:45:12. > :45:17.ago. Boaz Lalang, the Commonwealth Games champion in 2010 and the

:45:17. > :45:23.world championships silver- medallist. When the world record

:45:23. > :45:33.was broken last year, he finished in second place. A real opportunity

:45:33. > :45:41.

:45:41. > :45:45.for Joe Thomas to mix it with some championships. It is early in the

:45:45. > :45:50.year but that is the third fastest in the world. The thing about Joe

:45:50. > :45:57.is that he is quick. He has got a good finish and he is using his

:45:57. > :46:07.racing brain quite well. Powers I Lang is the class act here. -- Boaz

:46:07. > :46:08.

:46:08. > :46:17.Lalang. He can use his speed in the short races. Solomon is a pretty

:46:17. > :46:27.good indoor runner as well so Joe has got his work cut out here.

:46:27. > :46:29.Lalang leads and then the German, Soren Ludolph. The Russian at the

:46:29. > :46:35.back knees to get a move on and already the Russian beginning to

:46:35. > :46:40.make a move down the back straight. Boaz Lalang looks so comfortable

:46:40. > :46:43.with Joe Thomas taking closer order this time. Not quite moving on to

:46:44. > :46:48.the shoulder of the Kenyan. The Kenyan looks Smith and here goes

:46:48. > :46:58.Joe Thomas. Joe Thomas bursting into the lead there.

:46:58. > :46:59.

:46:59. > :47:09.a sprint by Joe Thomas. The crowd going absolutely ballistic here in

:47:09. > :47:10.

:47:10. > :47:20.Glasgow. Joe Thomas, wins it by a mile, wow! What a performance, what

:47:20. > :47:24.

:47:24. > :47:30.And you will rarely see an indoor 800 metres race run and won by that

:47:30. > :47:36.much. Especially at this level. Terrific performance, and maximum

:47:36. > :47:40.points at once again for Great Britain. What a dominating run.

:47:40. > :47:43.That showed that Joe has already raced this year and is in great

:47:44. > :47:49.shape. The others were not ready for that. Boaz Lalang and started

:47:49. > :47:54.could put got slower and slower and Joe thought, he was in the right

:47:54. > :48:02.place. This is the point of the race that he excels in. Against

:48:03. > :48:10.this level of competition and the last 225.7 seconds -- 200, 25.7

:48:10. > :48:15.seconds. It really played into Joe's hands but he capitalised on

:48:15. > :48:20.it fully. He looks to me as though he is wintering well, in good shape

:48:20. > :48:23.which she has to do. He has struggled to convert good indoor

:48:23. > :48:27.form in two times outdoors. He has run this sort of races before and

:48:27. > :48:37.not as good us this, I will grant him that but this was a really top-

:48:37. > :48:38.

:48:38. > :48:47.level performance. It will put him year by Joe Thomas, let's hear what

:48:47. > :48:52.PHIL JONES: I am sure you are hoping that faster times are to

:48:52. > :48:59.come but many more victories to come as well. Yes, I opened up with

:48:59. > :49:03.a really quick thirst go so I thought today was about racing. The

:49:03. > :49:08.tactics are right and it is a horribly tight track. I went out as

:49:08. > :49:16.hard as I could in lane one. Got a bit of lactic running on the tight

:49:16. > :49:20.bends but started to feel really good. You got the victory as well,

:49:20. > :49:26.what does that kind of victory do for your confidence going forward?

:49:26. > :49:31.Confident is massive, that was really be that for me. This is my

:49:31. > :49:36.third go at this year. It is an amazing atmosphere. The crowd went

:49:36. > :49:43.mental, so good. And are you targeting the World Championships?

:49:43. > :49:47.Yes, that was always the plan. The indoors is always preparation.

:49:47. > :49:57.Getting the tactics right. Every race has gone to plan so far.

:49:57. > :49:57.

:49:57. > :50:01.it going, all the way to Istanbul and one which will make a bit of

:50:01. > :50:10.difference again to the leaderboard for Macey the International scores

:50:10. > :50:17.but Joe Thomas, the winner, massive lifetime best. 1:47.35. It means

:50:17. > :50:27.that the stadium record will remain forever in the hands of Tom Makin,

:50:27. > :50:30.

:50:30. > :50:34.and he set that time back in 1990. The men's high jump. The bar so it

:50:34. > :50:39.at 2.23 metres. Aleksandr Shustov gave that a fair nudge, you could

:50:39. > :50:45.see the bar bobbling that he goes clear. He instances record of

:50:45. > :50:52.perfection. Robbie Grabarz, first time and failure, passed and moved

:50:52. > :50:56.up to 2.26 metres. His first, U2, did not get that right at all. We

:50:56. > :51:06.saw the world leading clearance before but got that wrong on

:51:06. > :51:09.

:51:09. > :51:19.approach. He will have one approach world leading Mark that he put down

:51:19. > :51:24.

:51:24. > :51:31.of 2.34 by getting a good height attempt at 2.26 for Robbie Grabarz,

:51:31. > :51:35.and he gets it! Yes! He likes that. He gives the thumbs up to the crowd,

:51:35. > :51:40.a big leap of celebration. Even though it was only her second

:51:40. > :51:47.attempt at this height, effectively it was a third and final effort at

:51:47. > :51:57.2.26. He keeps himself in the competition. Andre Manson has gone

:51:57. > :51:58.

:51:58. > :52:04.clear. We saw Aleksandr Shustov go clear and look at high point.

:52:04. > :52:10.Crisis averted. But in those look - - put in those rules together.

:52:10. > :52:14.Germany have come back into it. Russia still with the three point

:52:14. > :52:18.lead and the United States now find lead and the United States now find

:52:18. > :52:22.themselves in 5th place. JONATHAN EDWARDS: Relief for Robbie

:52:22. > :52:26.Grabarz. Helen Clitheroe, European indoor champion over 3,000 metres,

:52:26. > :52:32.that is the event she runs today and she has been out in Kenya

:52:32. > :52:36.preparing for 2012. As we get set for the indoor season and what is

:52:36. > :52:40.to come beyond, what I call thoughts about 2012 and what might

:52:40. > :52:44.be in store for yourself? It is something we have all been waiting

:52:44. > :52:48.for obviously, it has been spoken about for a long time and it is

:52:48. > :52:52.nice to say it is here, we are now in 2012. I am looking to have a

:52:52. > :52:56.good indoor season to see where I am at, see if any adjustments need

:52:57. > :53:01.to be made on my training and then I really want to run under 15

:53:01. > :53:06.minutes for five K and make the team for the Olympics. It is a

:53:06. > :53:10.massive dream of mind and to get in the final and produce a very good

:53:10. > :53:15.performance. My training has gone really well out here. I was out

:53:15. > :53:19.here before Christmas and was home for three weeks and back out again.

:53:19. > :53:25.The Laboratory tests I did when very well. Everything has gone to

:53:25. > :53:31.plan here so I am hoping I can step on again and do a few indoor races

:53:31. > :53:35.and then of this two focusing on the summer. -- and then obviously

:53:35. > :53:38.focusing on the summer. It started indoor for Helen nastier.

:53:38. > :53:43.The brilliant performers at the European Championships when she won

:53:43. > :53:50.the gold medal and it gave her that renewed vigour that she has tried

:53:50. > :53:58.to take into qualifying for the 5,000 metres. This is a tough race

:53:58. > :54:07.here. Tara Erdmann, Corinna Harrer, and the Commonwealth team athlete

:54:48. > :54:53.1,500 metres list but to run under 15 minutes is proving elusive for

:54:53. > :54:59.her, proving difficult and that is what she has got to do, you heard

:54:59. > :55:03.it in the interview. She is better than 15 minutes and six seconds.

:55:03. > :55:11.She should be running something more like 14: 45. Can she do that

:55:11. > :55:15.at this stage of her career? A renewed lease of life that the

:55:15. > :55:25.indoor season gave her. She will be hoping that she can recapture some

:55:25. > :55:40.

:55:40. > :55:44.of that here today and she has set the bar set at 2.29. He has been

:55:44. > :55:47.perfect all afternoon, at first time clearance is for the reigning

:55:47. > :55:54.outdoor championship and he extends that record of perfection. The

:56:10. > :56:16.superb form, perfect score card all season. -- 2012. Plenty of daylight

:56:16. > :56:19.between his high point and the bar. Can the other athletes respond?

:56:19. > :56:23.Ought Thomas, the world champion from 2007 at the Pan Am Games

:56:23. > :56:28.champion as well and the Commonwealth Games champion as well,

:56:28. > :56:37.already out three failures at 2.23 metres. Having cleared at 2.16 and

:56:37. > :56:43.2.20. The German athlete failed at 2.26 so Robbie Grabarz representing

:56:53. > :57:12.

:57:12. > :57:21.2.34, with the final clearance at good pace here. They went through

:57:21. > :57:31.the first 800 in two: 35 so it is an improvement. This is around

:57:31. > :57:36.eight: 45 and eight: 50 pace. Nobody in the world has yet run

:57:36. > :57:41.under nine minutes. It is early so far but heaven has set out with

:57:41. > :57:47.real intent. Of this elite wants to get a good performance in and will

:57:47. > :57:52.be quite please -- obviously want to get a good performance in.

:57:52. > :57:57.Obiri, her first indoor race, and her first ever 3,000 metres and she

:57:57. > :58:00.confirmed to our statistician the other day at last year Helen

:58:00. > :58:07.Clitheroe had such a series of great, great runs and despite the

:58:07. > :58:11.fact that she is now well and truly into the Masters age groups for

:58:11. > :58:15.athletics, one thing that seemed to do with the quality of her runs was

:58:15. > :58:20.given added confidence. He has got no problem with going out quickly

:58:20. > :58:26.now. She will have no problem as well we did that that Helen Obiri

:58:26. > :58:29.has decided to take it on. Just under nine laps to go and the first

:58:30. > :58:38.three are away from the race. Helen Clitheroe from Great Britain still

:58:38. > :58:42.in second place. The third 400 metres, it is and they tend to work

:58:42. > :58:48.on 400 metres split. It is a bit slow but that is probably wanting

:58:48. > :58:55.to keep the pace going. You can see Helen working with her to do this.

:58:55. > :59:01.It will be a real test of where she is at at this stage, away from the

:59:01. > :59:07.training which she has enjoyed for the past few weeks, setting off

:59:07. > :59:12.before Christmas. She will give her at least a bit of a benchmark.

:59:12. > :59:15.Helen Obiri is a true world class 1,500 metres runner and testing

:59:15. > :59:21.herself on the longer distance. Helen will not be thinking of

:59:21. > :59:28.second place, Helen Clitheroe. She loves the indoors, and seems to

:59:28. > :59:37.rise the occasion and she certainly enjoys competing here in Glasgow.

:59:37. > :59:47.Distal slowing a little bit at four 50 minutes and 45 seconds. That

:59:47. > :59:47.

:59:47. > :59:57.from the crowd. You saw Aleksandr Shustov sale clear on his first

:59:57. > :59:58.

:59:58. > :00:06.attempt. The second effort at 2.29. No, so more disappointing attempt

:00:06. > :00:11.than the first one in terms of getting his approach right. He

:00:11. > :00:16.takes off from so far away from the bar but did not get his high point

:00:16. > :00:22.correct there. One attempt to go. Helen Clitheroe as you may have

:00:22. > :00:32.guessed it from the cheers has gone back into the lead. In front of

:00:32. > :00:35.Helen Obiri and they seem to have dropped the German, Corinna Harrer

:00:35. > :00:41.and the stadium record set last year by the athlete who is in the

:00:41. > :00:45.lead at the moment and that was the springboard really for the rest of

:00:45. > :00:51.2011 which by Helen's standards was a very successful year of. She

:00:51. > :01:01.still looked full of running. Just under five laps to go and Helen

:01:01. > :01:09.

:01:09. > :01:19.Obiri will have their work cut out but Helen had sensed that the pace

:01:19. > :01:22.

:01:23. > :01:28.had dropped to much. She wants to run under nine minutes if she can.

:01:28. > :01:35.Helen is forging on here. The strength that you want to build up

:01:35. > :01:39.in the winter, you will be tapping into in the summer. Again, at the

:01:39. > :01:48.two of them working together to make sure that the pace will bring

:01:48. > :01:52.them a decent time. Has Obiri put enough pace in here to test Helen?

:01:52. > :02:00.If she can hang on she may be able to put the Kenyan under some

:02:01. > :02:05.pressure. Helen is hanging on, she is not letting Obiri get away. That

:02:05. > :02:11.is so important if she wants victory in this race. Certainly the

:02:11. > :02:16.crowd will want her to win, just as she did 12 months ago. But Obiri, a

:02:17. > :02:22.few laps ago look like she may be beginning to fade but now she has

:02:22. > :02:27.put in an injection of even more pace. That means that the Kenyan,

:02:27. > :02:34.running for the, well, is going away. That is a big injection of

:02:34. > :02:41.pace. That particular 200m was around 32 seconds, which was much

:02:41. > :02:47.quicker than the pace. Helen has to concentrate and still come out with

:02:47. > :02:52.a good time. Obiri is a really good, improving athlete. The Kenyans are

:02:52. > :02:58.excited about their prospects over 15 it did metres. Obiri is a new

:02:58. > :03:02.name for them who they hope can maintain their pedigree. The gap is

:03:02. > :03:08.to pick for Helen Clitheroe to make any inroads but she has to keep

:03:08. > :03:18.working through these last 200m. There is no shame in being beaten

:03:18. > :03:19.

:03:19. > :03:24.by Obiri, who will be very much to the fore in the summer. A good

:03:24. > :03:31.victory for the Kenyan athlete, representing the Commonwealth team.

:03:31. > :03:36.It is a good time, 8.42, a new stadium record. And for Helen

:03:36. > :03:43.Clitheroe, that is a good start, a solid start to the years. She has

:03:43. > :03:53.run something like 8.45. If you had said that to her beforehand, she

:03:53. > :04:03.would have taken it. I think Helen may have only run quicker at the

:04:03. > :04:16.

:04:16. > :04:25.European Championships last year but it will be Obiri who will stand

:04:25. > :04:32.as the stadium record holder. the runners coming in over the

:04:32. > :04:37.finishing line, give you an idea of the quality of both Obiri and Helen

:04:37. > :04:47.Clitheroe. Helen Clitheroe faster than she was when she set the

:04:47. > :05:07.

:05:07. > :05:14.on this particular afternoon. His best clearance is 2.26. I wonder

:05:14. > :05:21.how he will regard that having said the high jump world alight with the

:05:21. > :05:28.clearance of 2.34 in Germany just a few days ago. You can see how high

:05:28. > :05:38.his high point was a pop the bar. So no further work this afternoon

:05:38. > :06:17.

:06:17. > :06:27.having sailed clear at every height this afternoon. He will now

:06:27. > :06:34.

:06:34. > :06:38.probably a leg to go higher. -- Helen was keen to know her time. A

:06:38. > :06:42.tremendous performance, you kick started a great season last year

:06:42. > :06:49.here and hope P you will do the same again. I am very happy with

:06:49. > :06:53.that. I have run faster than I did last year, which I was really happy

:06:53. > :07:01.with last year. Tim Roper with my second fastest time ever is really

:07:01. > :07:06.good. A Obiri and I both wanted to do a good time so we had a little

:07:06. > :07:13.idea that we would take turns a little bit and then brace the last

:07:13. > :07:17.bit. We do you go from here? What is the immediate game plan? We came

:07:17. > :07:23.back from Kenya on Thursday. Just recover from that a bit and get

:07:23. > :07:29.back into training ready to do hopefully a fast time in Birmingham.

:07:29. > :07:35.What about the world indoor jab injured? My coach and die are going

:07:35. > :07:40.to have a discussion about that at the Birmingham -- my coach and high.

:07:40. > :07:50.I am keen to get there if I am in contention of being placed in the

:07:50. > :08:06.

:08:06. > :08:11.final. Keep up this great form and teams have been to Russia so far.

:08:11. > :08:21.Four track events to go and two field events. This trophy is still

:08:21. > :08:21.

:08:21. > :08:28.Great to see Helen Clitheroe very pleased with that run of though she

:08:28. > :08:34.was well beaten in the end. She was by someone who had not run a 3000m

:08:34. > :08:39.indoors. But Obiri, clearly, there is lots to come from her, but it is

:08:39. > :08:44.lovely to see Helen looking and sounding very confident. She ran

:08:44. > :08:48.well, I do not think there is much really that we can criticise there.

:08:49. > :08:53.One of the things at the back of her mind may be that having such a

:08:54. > :08:57.brilliant season indoor last season, she probably struggled oak doors.

:08:57. > :09:02.It is fair to say she did not do as well as she might have hoped

:09:02. > :09:05.outdoors. But she is a meticulous athlete and she will have tried to

:09:06. > :09:11.iron out those problems that she may have faced Goran that

:09:11. > :09:15.transition from indoors to outdoors. We watched with interest the

:09:15. > :09:23.performance from Robbie Grabarz in the high jump. He spoke to Philippe

:09:23. > :09:28.Jones. -- Phil Jones. Coming here today,

:09:28. > :09:34.what were your expectations? That was disappointing. Maybe last week

:09:34. > :09:39.took a little more out of me than I realised. There is no one to blame

:09:39. > :09:45.except me for that. I suppose now the expectations are going to be

:09:45. > :09:50.hide. They are definitely going to be. This is a different years. I am

:09:50. > :09:53.expecting more than that. What about the change in attitude from

:09:54. > :09:59.you and you manage to get it together in an Olympic year through

:09:59. > :10:04.the hard work in the off-season? just approached it a bit more

:10:04. > :10:08.professionally mentally, bringing 100% to every event and training

:10:08. > :10:18.session, and I feel like it has made a difference. It is good to

:11:25. > :11:27.

:11:27. > :11:32.Sujew is a bit of a new name. Another 1500 metre specialist,

:11:47. > :11:57.Kenyan representing the Commonwealth team. Claire Gibson,

:11:57. > :11:59.

:11:59. > :12:07.the Scottish crowd will give her a huge cheer. Stepping in for Jenny

:12:07. > :12:15.Meadows, who we wish well. Just a bit of a nickel for her, taking a

:12:15. > :12:20.precautionary diversion around this meet. 20 McGrone on the outside for

:12:20. > :12:30.the United States. A great opportunity for Claire Gibson but

:12:30. > :12:42.

:12:42. > :12:49.years old, making her debut for Great Britain. I hope that the

:12:49. > :12:59.adrenalin has a positive effect. She is chasing the American, Erica

:12:59. > :13:08.

:13:08. > :13:13.looking pretty could. Erica Moore set out perhaps a little bit more

:13:13. > :13:18.quickly than they might expect indoors. She is not slowing down so

:13:18. > :13:28.that is a bit of a gamble. Played Gibson will have to fight hard and

:13:28. > :13:30.

:13:30. > :13:33.tried to stay with this. The German, Sujew, has moved into third. 20

:13:33. > :13:43.McGrone looks as though she is slowing and will start to come

:13:43. > :13:59.

:13:59. > :14:04.under pressure from the Russian and Americans but it is playing into

:14:04. > :14:13.the hands of the strength of the 1500 metre runner behind her,

:14:13. > :14:23.Martynova. She is hanging on at the moment. These two are miles clear

:14:23. > :14:23.

:14:23. > :14:28.of the rest. Ken Moore hang on here? Her stride length has

:14:28. > :14:37.shortened but the Russian has nothing to offer. It is a pretty

:14:37. > :14:46.quick time as well. Reward for a brave effort. Chebet came through

:14:46. > :14:53.ahead of Claire Gibson. That was a brave, front-running performance

:14:53. > :14:58.from Erica Moore. A bit of a tough baptism for Claire Gibson. This

:14:58. > :15:03.season best for Erica Moore. There was nothing the Russian could do,

:15:03. > :15:09.which surprised me a little bed. I thought she would be able to attack

:15:10. > :15:16.in the last 200m. Claire Gibson could not really make any headway

:15:16. > :15:21.on the leaders at all. The occasion got to her in the end. Certainly,

:15:21. > :15:31.the American, Erica Moore, could have been forgiven for thinking

:15:31. > :15:42.

:15:42. > :15:49.Martynova was going to come past the US has been going from strength

:15:49. > :15:59.to strength in the past few years. Erica Moore can be very happy with

:16:03. > :16:08.100 the off there but a new personal best there. -- nicked a

:16:08. > :16:18.one hundredth of a second off there. A second win for the American team,

:16:18. > :16:19.

:16:19. > :16:22.PHIL JONES: The second win for the US, much needed. What is it like

:16:22. > :16:27.having an onus on you, not just having to win for yourself? They it

:16:27. > :16:37.is my first team so it is a different atmosphere and it is so

:16:37. > :16:38.

:16:38. > :16:41.much fun. I have never led a race like that from start to finish. I

:16:41. > :16:47.think it is great being part of a team. What was going through your

:16:47. > :16:51.mind was my just put one foot in front of the other. Keep it moving.

:16:51. > :16:54.What are your immediate goals now after this particular performers?

:16:54. > :16:59.This will give me a lot of confidence which I needed. To know

:16:59. > :17:04.I can lead a race and then hopefully get better and better

:17:04. > :17:14.with each race. Tremendous performance, congratulations.

:17:43. > :17:47.leading mark he set in Germany just far as the match is concerned. A

:17:47. > :17:53.bit of a gap almost seven because Russia have got off to a six point

:17:53. > :17:58.lead but we are still in contention. Three events which Britain could do

:18:07. > :18:12.JONATHAN EDWARDS: We saw a very competitive long jump earlier on

:18:12. > :18:18.with the women but Shara Proctor jumping six metres and 59, looked

:18:18. > :18:22.very, very good indeed. And afterwards he spoke with Phil Jones.

:18:29. > :18:38.list. Tremendous performance. -- with Shara now. By K-Mart to see

:18:38. > :18:42.how I was feeling. It is the first competition, just -- I just came

:18:42. > :18:47.out to see how I was feeling. I was happy with that. How has the winter

:18:47. > :18:51.gone for you with the training? Training has gone great. I am

:18:51. > :18:56.expecting good things, it is the Olympic year so I want to represent

:18:56. > :19:01.Team GB for the best of my ability. Do you think we will see you at the

:19:01. > :19:06.World Indoors should you qualify for the team? Yes, that is the aim

:19:07. > :19:15.and I have a couple more meats soak Africa should qualify. Make you get

:19:15. > :19:21.many more good results -- so I should qualify. Mark Lewis-Francis

:19:21. > :19:28.running in the men's 1,500 metres. PHIL JONES: Back in the warm-up

:19:28. > :19:34.area with Mark Lewis-Francis. What is your particular routine? You

:19:34. > :19:39.have got your gain face on behind me earlier on. I like to come down

:19:39. > :19:45.here, think about the race and just chill out more than anything else

:19:45. > :19:49.because once you are in here, that is when the pressure start.

:19:49. > :19:55.much are you taking in what is going on around you? I try not to

:19:55. > :20:00.concentrate too much and do my own thing. Straight away you take your

:20:00. > :20:04.job off your job -- your mind of the job in hand if you look at the

:20:04. > :20:11.other athletes. The start of a huge athletes with the Olympics coming

:20:11. > :20:17.up. I want to know what excitement is surrounding you at the moment?

:20:17. > :20:22.lot of pressure but also a lot of excitement. We have not had the

:20:22. > :20:30.Olympics in my lifetime before so everybody wants to attend so I am

:20:30. > :20:37.looking forward to it. All the best for that, good luck.

:21:10. > :21:20.out right. A distance of 30 metres 89 was matched by Kristin Gierisch.

:21:20. > :21:26.Giving away so much space on the board. The veteran athlete now, 39

:22:54. > :22:59.Jeanette Kwakye, former world indoor silver medallist hoping to

:22:59. > :23:02.regain the form she showed in 2008. The lady next to her, Angela

:24:17. > :24:23.metres record, 7.30. Jeanette Kwakye really has to get out of the

:24:23. > :24:27.blocks quickly. Angela Williams next to her when she was on form

:24:27. > :24:33.and she won the World Championship. Recognised as having the fastest

:24:33. > :24:38.start in the world, generally recognised. Very similar lifetime

:24:38. > :24:48.bests with the American just on the left-hand side just having the edge,

:24:48. > :24:58.

:24:58. > :25:03.well and left and will -- Angela Williams for dead. Jeanette Kwakye

:25:03. > :25:07.wins it by a mile! And then came the German, Yasmin Kwadwo, that is

:25:07. > :25:14.great news for Great Britain. I think they will be back on top of

:25:14. > :25:22.the table. What a run by Jeanette Kwakye. I was so excited by the

:25:22. > :25:28.victory that I did not see what the clock stopped at but... 7.26, two

:25:28. > :25:34.per, absolutely superb. One of our best races since the she want the

:25:34. > :25:38.silver medal in the worlds. Absolutely great run for Great

:25:38. > :25:45.Britain. COLIN JACKSON: You are good reason

:25:45. > :25:49.to be excited, this lady is an exceptional sprinter. Very quick

:25:49. > :25:53.out of the blocks. Many injuries out of the blocks but look at the

:25:53. > :26:00.return, she looks very focused and positive. Focus all the way to the

:26:00. > :26:03.line and she is with rewarded for with a good result. Absolutely

:26:03. > :26:08.wonderful, Jeanette Kwakye. She knows to her right the experience

:26:08. > :26:12.of Angela Williams. Jeannette herself feels very comfortable now

:26:12. > :26:16.because at this stage, she cannot see anybody, she wants to keep

:26:16. > :26:21.working towards the line. A great sprinter, Majestic where she is at

:26:21. > :26:31.her best and she is really great to see. Returning to form so well

:26:31. > :26:34.

:26:34. > :26:38.great form in 2008, she started with a victory in Glasgow, this

:26:38. > :26:41.could be the start of great things to come in 2012. Let's find out,

:26:41. > :26:50.to come in 2012. Let's find out, she is downstairs talking to Phil.

:26:50. > :26:54.He started with a win, and maybe you have set a precedent. I hope

:26:54. > :26:58.that is a good omen. It is nice to come here and perform like that

:26:58. > :27:03.because I am still in quite heavy training so to put a time like that

:27:04. > :27:07.in, it is quite impressive, considering what we are doing.

:27:07. > :27:12.Everybody is getting in the ring, they are oppressed by the hard work.

:27:12. > :27:17.You come out with times like that. It feels good and I came here last

:27:17. > :27:23.year and I had an injury. But at the quality of today, I feel a lot

:27:23. > :27:27.more confident in myself and in my fitness so I am happy. Building in

:27:27. > :27:30.increments from here towards the big goal. Yes, it is so exciting

:27:30. > :27:34.and like I said earlier, technically we have been working on

:27:34. > :27:44.so many different things. My coach will pick that apart. Well done,

:27:44. > :27:50.

:27:50. > :28:00.two tenths of a second off her closest opponent. That is

:28:00. > :28:00.

:28:00. > :28:04.incredible. The Russian down in 4th, significantly. We are timing this

:28:04. > :28:10.well. All the victories coming towards the second half of the

:28:10. > :28:14.competition. It means that now Great Britain is on top. Just one

:28:14. > :28:19.point away from Russia and Germany another point behind. All to play

:28:19. > :28:27.for still but with the men's 60 and Mo Farah, things are looking good

:28:27. > :28:34.JONATHAN EDWARDS: That brought the biggest smile to our face. Yes, I

:28:34. > :28:39.have calmed down again now! That was a display of textbook sprinting.

:28:39. > :28:45.She led from her first foot down. Electric out of the blocks and

:28:45. > :28:50.driving, driving 20 in to 30 metres and she is a beautiful runner but

:28:50. > :28:56.she has had to be patient to find this kind of form again. When you

:28:56. > :29:00.have been injured like she has, it is a nightmare. You can see that

:29:00. > :29:08.she is driving hard, good, fast feet out of the blocks and she

:29:08. > :29:11.comes into her running form. She is away and she has left the field.

:29:11. > :29:17.The whole Olympic cycle sure she won the world indoor and she was

:29:17. > :29:22.the only European finalist in Beijing. It has been a long, tough

:29:22. > :29:26.journey for her. It has, and you have to be patient. When your body

:29:26. > :29:30.isn't allowing your things that you would like it to do. You have to be

:29:30. > :29:35.patient and she has done that. Hopefully, fingers crossed, she

:29:35. > :29:39.will be rewarded. She sounded confident and she looks great.

:29:39. > :29:46.bubbly and the fact that she has not done any speed work. Clear,

:29:46. > :29:50.blue water and a clear blue track between her and the field. It bodes

:29:50. > :29:55.well but we do not want to rush ahead. But first things first, she

:29:55. > :29:59.would like to qualify for Istanbul, I hope so. But it is 100 metres

:29:59. > :30:03.that she wants to run for and she must be patient and do the work

:30:03. > :30:07.that she knows which will see her through to London. The good thing

:30:07. > :30:13.we know about Janette from 2008 is that she can go to a championship

:30:13. > :30:17.and go to an Olympic Games and perform at the top of her Games.

:30:17. > :30:20.Yes, mentally she has got a very good brain. She handles pressure

:30:20. > :30:25.well and she knows with the added confidence of being healthy that

:30:25. > :30:30.she can go and do herself justice. I wonder what binmen's 60 metres

:30:30. > :30:39.has for us. Steve Cram calling this one for us. -- what the men's 60

:30:39. > :30:46.for Great Britain. Heavy strapping on his arm, hopefully that will not

:30:46. > :30:54.affect him too much. On his right arm. He has got a couple of

:30:54. > :31:04.athletes near him, the USA athlete, a very good 60 metres runner. If

:31:04. > :31:17.

:31:17. > :31:22.you run under 6.5 then you are a under way. Some big sprint races

:31:22. > :31:31.are taking place this weekend. As such a Powell is could be racing

:31:31. > :31:41.this weekend. It is all starting to warm up in 2012. It is so tough to

:31:41. > :31:52.

:31:52. > :31:58.get onto the USA team. We have already seen Kim Collins over 200m.

:31:58. > :32:06.Mark Lewis-Francis is right in the middle. 2010 was such a good year

:32:06. > :32:13.for him, two silver medals, but a disappointing 2011. He will want to

:32:13. > :32:20.do what he has done before here in Glasgow, and perform well. Brednev

:32:20. > :32:29.was the Russian champion last year. Kim Collins, have we have already

:32:29. > :32:35.seen him earlier on. Always popular. He will want to try and events that

:32:35. > :32:41.200-metre defeat. He had such a good years last year when many said

:32:41. > :32:46.he was way past his best. Mark Lewis-Francis, 29 years of age,

:32:46. > :32:56.getting a big cheer from this crowd. Hoping he can give Britain another

:32:56. > :33:07.

:33:07. > :33:15.victory. And then Ivory Willams. Christian Blum, from Germany, has

:33:15. > :33:25.run 6.6 to one already this year. He could be a little bit of a

:33:25. > :33:25.

:33:25. > :33:30.threat here. It is all about confidence. We started this

:33:30. > :33:34.afternoon with a disappointing run from Andy Turner and that sets him

:33:35. > :33:44.off in a negative tone for the year. Mark Lewis-Francis will be wanting

:33:45. > :34:18.

:34:18. > :34:24.line! -- takes it. Pointing and saying I took that victory just in

:34:24. > :34:32.the last two strides. I think three thread thought he had it but once

:34:32. > :34:35.more he has suffered defeat to the British sprinter. That was a really

:34:35. > :34:40.good performance by Mark Lewis- Francis. He kept his head and made

:34:40. > :34:45.his way to the victory. In the middle part of the race he did not

:34:45. > :34:52.keep pushing because that is when Collins took the lead. But he kept

:34:52. > :34:59.his head and get working all the way to the line. Collins did well

:34:59. > :35:05.but I think Mark Lewis-Francis's big chest may have taken the

:35:05. > :35:11.victory. Straight off the blocks, he is very explosive when he works

:35:11. > :35:16.hard for this first 10 strides. When he gets upright, you can see

:35:16. > :35:22.that Kim Collins is still driving. That is when he just needs into the

:35:22. > :35:32.lead. But Mark kept focused and kept working. There seems no stress

:35:32. > :35:33.

:35:33. > :35:41.on his face and he seems pretty confident. It is the torso, not the

:35:41. > :35:51.chin. Kim Collins's Chindit that no the one it, but it is the torso

:35:51. > :36:05.

:36:05. > :36:08.that counts. -- chin and that one It was a great race. I thought I

:36:08. > :36:13.had it but you never know what can happen because it is such a short

:36:13. > :36:17.race. You have done double duty today and you always entertained

:36:17. > :36:26.the crowd, and they were right behind you. How much does that lift

:36:26. > :36:32.you? I whole lot. After like the home favourite. Here is the man who

:36:32. > :36:40.beat you by the narrowest of margins. A tremendous performance.

:36:40. > :36:45.Well done. It has been catching, this Britain victory thing over the

:36:45. > :36:54.last hour or so. You have perhaps sealed the overall victory it Mo

:36:54. > :37:01.Farah runs well later. I got my adrenalin from Jeanette Kwakye in

:37:01. > :37:07.her 60. I'm happy with that. are heavily strapped up, how much

:37:07. > :37:12.of a problem has that been? It is more safety than anything else. I

:37:12. > :37:16.came to Glasgow last year was successful and I have done it again

:37:16. > :37:22.this year. If I stayed injury-free than the world is my oyster.

:37:22. > :37:26.enjoyed that lap of honour. Definitely! It is always a pleasure

:37:26. > :37:30.to run somewhere where it is the last time and it was a great honour

:37:30. > :37:40.to come back here and run in front of an amazing crowd.

:37:40. > :37:52.

:37:52. > :37:57.the wind goes to Mark Lewis-Francis by one hundreth of a second. The

:37:57. > :38:02.good news continues as far as the match is concerned. Great Britain

:38:02. > :38:11.were the lead and, of course, Mo Farah to come in the final event oh

:38:11. > :38:21.we all have very high expectations, even though it is at the shorter

:38:21. > :38:24.

:38:24. > :38:31.Mark Lewis-Francis, cocky as ever! But a good run. Fair play to him.

:38:31. > :38:36.He did run well. Typically, Mark had a great start. But then he just

:38:36. > :38:43.seems to not keep tried think and starts to lose a bit of ground here.

:38:43. > :38:51.But his strength is coming towards the end and he just ages Kim

:38:51. > :38:55.Collins just there. He should be pleased with that race. He did get

:38:56. > :39:02.out well, but had a lack of concentration, what ever it was,

:39:02. > :39:07.and Kim Collins just got ahead of him. His experience is starting to

:39:07. > :39:16.tell. He is nearly 30, he has been in these situations before. He

:39:16. > :39:22.looked relaxed and kept his form together. There was known dip from

:39:22. > :39:27.Mark Lewis-Francis. Why not? He is nearly 30 now, he was this great

:39:27. > :39:31.young junior, he has not quite fulfilled his potential, and I

:39:31. > :39:38.wonder whether would this final Olympic opportunity he is getting

:39:38. > :39:42.his act together. I hope so, because people to forget that he is

:39:42. > :39:47.an Olympic gold-medallist from the relay squad. In the back of his

:39:47. > :39:53.mind he knows that he needs this year to go well. He seems to start

:39:53. > :40:01.well, get injured, and it all falls apart. He needs to finish under

:40:01. > :40:10.high note. There have been some good British performances to date,

:40:10. > :40:16.including Yamile Aldama in the The she has a beautiful, fluid

:40:16. > :40:22.action. She spoke to fill Jones. In such a big year, you would have

:40:22. > :40:28.wanted to start with a victory, and you have, an impressive performance.

:40:28. > :40:34.Tell me how it went. I think we plant to go a little bit further

:40:34. > :40:42.but we tried to change the way I'd jump two because are normally go to

:40:42. > :40:49.hide. We need to put a bit more into the training and hopefully in

:40:49. > :40:52.the summer will be 100%. Are you planning to do a full indoor season

:40:52. > :40:57.including the world indoor championships? Yes, I'm feeling

:40:57. > :41:02.great. No injuries, that is the main thing. We saw you perform so

:41:02. > :41:07.well bustier outdoors at the world. Just short of a medal and that will

:41:07. > :41:14.be the target, to improve of that. Definitely, I will be fighting for

:41:14. > :41:21.a medal. Thanks for bearing with me, it is a great atmosphere and very

:41:21. > :41:27.noisy! Just one more race to go, at the

:41:27. > :41:31.first appearance of Mo Farah of 2012. We saw him in the interview

:41:31. > :41:37.from Kenya looking for him relaxed. I guess he will start to feel today

:41:37. > :41:45.just how much attention there is on him. He has just catapulted himself

:41:46. > :41:50.into the minds of the British public. I am sure he sense is the

:41:50. > :41:56.anticipation but when his name is called out it is going to erupt in

:41:56. > :42:03.here. He just seems to be comfortable in himself, in his

:42:03. > :42:06.preparation, where he is going. He is the man of the moment.

:42:06. > :42:16.certainly is and here is a reminder of how he has progressed through

:42:16. > :42:16.

:42:16. > :43:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 83 seconds

:43:06. > :43:13.picture of him as a youngster, because you can remember meeting

:43:13. > :43:18.him. Absolute be, I was watching him at the marathon. Everybody said

:43:18. > :43:22.to me, watch this young man because he is super talented. You were

:43:22. > :43:27.never quite sure when someone says what their potential can be whether

:43:27. > :43:32.it will be fulfilled, especially in distance running. For him to be in

:43:33. > :43:38.the position that he is now is sensational for him. The key thing,

:43:38. > :43:43.and he has said it himself, is he has to stay injury-free, because it

:43:43. > :43:47.allows him to do the work that is necessary for him to progress. Let

:43:48. > :43:55.us keep our fingers crossed that he can produce those great

:43:55. > :44:00.performances. No easy start to the season, Choge next to him, very

:44:00. > :44:06.useful. Very useful and possibly could to actually beat Mo Farah

:44:06. > :44:14.here today. But we wanted to have a good run and it is important that

:44:14. > :44:24.he utilises his speed. We will hand over to a, I am sure, very excited

:44:24. > :44:34.

:44:34. > :44:43.then we win the match. Do not trip up! This is a good test for Mo

:44:43. > :44:47.Farah. He has just come back from Kenya. Heady training. The likes of

:44:47. > :44:57.Ludolph will be thinking I wonder if I have a chance here to get a

:44:57. > :45:00.

:45:00. > :45:05.good scalp. Schlangen, the silver- medallist in Barcelona. It says on

:45:05. > :45:12.my notes that Schmitz was a former basketball player. He must have sat

:45:12. > :45:22.on somebody's shoulders! He is not very tall. Next to him, and listen

:45:22. > :45:40.

:45:40. > :45:44.to the Rohr Fort Mo Farah. -- THE Augustine Choge. A very good world-

:45:45. > :45:50.class 1,500 metres runner. Did not have a very good year in 2011 after

:45:50. > :46:00.a good start. The indoor season did not materialise him for in the

:46:00. > :46:04.

:46:04. > :46:11.summer so he will be wanting to race series for Mo Farah. Don't,

:46:11. > :46:18.trip up. He will run a mile in Boston and then he will be running

:46:18. > :46:22.in the Birmingham Grand Prix. A tough training mileage out there in

:46:22. > :46:26.Kenya but he will have some of that in his legs for sure. It is a

:46:26. > :46:30.question of having to find a bit of pace. To be honest, I don't think

:46:30. > :46:36.they will be too disappointed that his main rival here, Choge, has set

:46:36. > :46:42.off at a good pace. 29 seconds to get them moving along. Mo Farah

:46:42. > :46:48.trying to get his racing legs on, early doors in 2012. Every time he

:46:48. > :46:54.steps onto the track now, as he moves out past the Russian, past

:46:54. > :47:00.Schlangen and on to the shoulder of Choge. There will be so much

:47:00. > :47:06.expectation from the British public who absolutely adore him. His first

:47:06. > :47:12.1,500 metres since 2009. Since then, concentrating on the longer

:47:12. > :47:20.distances. The reigning European champion at three different

:47:20. > :47:26.distances including indoors a of the 3,000 metres. Let's not forget

:47:26. > :47:31.done about -- we get about Schlangen, the tall German there

:47:31. > :47:38.running in 4th place ahead of the American. At the moment it is still

:47:38. > :47:48.Choge and then it is Mo Farah. And then Smirnov. Choge maintaining his

:47:48. > :47:51.

:47:51. > :47:58.decent pace. His personal best is unbelievable at any three: 40. He

:47:58. > :48:05.was certainly break previous attempts. Four indoors, this is

:48:05. > :48:12.quite quick. Choge knows how fit Mo Farah is, he knows he has got pace.

:48:12. > :48:19.Choge has himself but he will not want to set for a sit and kick race.

:48:19. > :48:23.Look at Mo, he is full of confidence. The crowd respond to it.

:48:23. > :48:30.It is better to keep moving hard and then if he has to win it from

:48:30. > :48:35.the front, he has to do it that way. 2.5 laps to go. Mo Farah just

:48:35. > :48:40.looking upwards to his left slightly. No screen up there. We

:48:40. > :48:46.will come through the line this time, a bit of a stumble there by

:48:46. > :48:50.Mo Farah. Mo Farah leaves, Choge going into the lead now. He just

:48:50. > :48:59.got caught out there. He did not want to give up the outside and

:48:59. > :49:03.Choge mustard to the tax. -- to the task. There is the grimmest but we

:49:03. > :49:07.know that Mo Farah is digging a little bit deeper. He will not want

:49:07. > :49:12.to let Choge dominate this race. Here he comes again. He wants to

:49:12. > :49:16.get in front, the crowd responded, the noise is incredible here. Mo

:49:16. > :49:26.Farah back in front, a real ding- dong battle between these two.

:49:26. > :49:26.

:49:26. > :49:32.Choge has not given in yet. Choge there, but has Mo Farah got it

:49:32. > :49:36.right today? The world champion trying to hold off the former

:49:36. > :49:46.European champion. He is holding on, and he gets the victory for

:49:46. > :49:47.

:49:47. > :49:55.Britain! just a little taste of what is to

:49:55. > :50:00.come in the summer then Mo knows that it will be hard work. The

:50:00. > :50:06.crowd really helped him there in the last lap. The noise was

:50:06. > :50:09.unbelievable. With people standing up in Kelvin Hall, it always

:50:09. > :50:17.provides a loud atmosphere. That might have been the loudest I have

:50:17. > :50:24.ever heard them. It was tough, that. Choge had been a worthy competitor

:50:24. > :50:29.here. Look at this, scrapping to try to hold on. He had to let Choge

:50:29. > :50:33.go but had just enough to come back in. You could before forgiven for

:50:33. > :50:40.thinking at this point that just around 300 metres to go, that Choge

:50:40. > :50:44.had got it. But he forgot about the fact that Mo Farah is a fighter.

:50:44. > :50:49.This, the last ever track event in the last track-and-field meeting

:50:49. > :50:56.ever to be held in Kelvin Hall and boy, did we leave the best till

:50:57. > :51:03.last. Tremendous finish and Mo Farah fought his way back into the

:51:03. > :51:08.lead, Choge looks so relaxed in second but Mo Farah, as we know

:51:08. > :51:13.from his exploits in 50101000 metres of running last year, is a

:51:13. > :51:18.real fighter. -- from his exploits in 5,000 and 10,000 metres. He sets

:51:18. > :51:23.himself up beautifully mentally and physically for the remainder of the

:51:23. > :51:28.year and who knows? One that Britain -- who knows what Britain

:51:38. > :51:42.PHIL JONES: A new personal best and stadium record. This event will not

:51:42. > :51:46.be here any more so what a way to see it sent off. A fantastic win

:51:46. > :51:51.for you and this crowd right behind you all the way. They scoured is

:51:51. > :51:57.amazing. I am really happy to win. They just got right behind me and I

:51:57. > :52:02.can't believe how much noise there was! I am sure... I have never

:52:02. > :52:05.heard a noise like that for people introduced like that. It is great

:52:06. > :52:10.to see the crowd get behind me. I am really happy. Us for the race

:52:11. > :52:14.itself, a bit of a tussle with Choge, you do not want to lose

:52:14. > :52:19.ground or the inside lane to him. You came fighting back. Tell me

:52:19. > :52:23.your tactics. I had to stay on the inside line, my coach told me to

:52:23. > :52:27.run the shortest distance and don't let him get in front of you with

:52:28. > :52:34.two laps to go. I am sure this will be the start of a magnificent here

:52:34. > :52:40.for you. Enjoy the celebrations. want to say I will auction this kit

:52:40. > :52:45.for the Mo Farah Foundation so get bidding, everybody, go to the

:52:45. > :52:55.website. It is for charity. fantastic cause. Lot of takers for

:52:55. > :53:07.

:53:07. > :53:11.tired, he has just come from Kenya, a lot of mileage. It bodes well for

:53:11. > :53:19.the rest of the indoor season and of course further afield into the

:53:19. > :53:23.summer. There's the stadium record. Choge taking second best, personal

:53:23. > :53:27.best for Valentin Smirnov in third. We said he had to stay on his feet.

:53:27. > :53:33.He nearly tripped up with his first few strides but that win meant in

:53:33. > :53:39.the end, a comfortable victory for the British team. 60 points and

:53:39. > :53:40.tied on points between Russia and tied on points between Russia and

:53:40. > :53:44.Germany but the Russia had more victories.

:53:44. > :53:49.JONATHAN EDWARDS: Just a little taste of what we might be in store

:53:50. > :53:55.for come the Olympic Games. It was quite something, wasn't it?

:53:55. > :54:01.Spectacular! I don't think my heart could cope with this. On this is

:54:01. > :54:07.just the 1,500 metres in January! Mo brings what everybody wants to

:54:07. > :54:11.see from the race, so exciting and clearly... I think his competitors

:54:11. > :54:14.will have to take note and will be trying to push him back into the

:54:14. > :54:18.box, that they wish he would go back into but every distance he

:54:18. > :54:24.seems to just show that he has got a bit more in his tank and can win

:54:24. > :54:32.a race any way I choose for top that said, he nearly started with a

:54:32. > :54:36.trip there. He has, he did but this is what to expect and he tries to

:54:36. > :54:43.run these middle distance races. He was sensible after being tripped up

:54:43. > :54:48.and got out of the way. And here in the closing stages of the race,

:54:48. > :54:55.neither Choge nor Mo wanted to give up that position and a bit of a

:54:55. > :55:00.scrapper that Mo kept his head and just chose his class. -- showed his

:55:00. > :55:05.class. The other thing, people warm to him as a person. I that as an

:55:05. > :55:11.athlete or a person's. I think Mo is always surprised that people

:55:11. > :55:17.like him for some bizarre reason. He said the crowd was so noisy and

:55:17. > :55:21.I said, yes, because the crowd love you. To be think he has achieved so

:55:21. > :55:25.far and everybody wishes him well. He is one of these athletes that he

:55:25. > :55:30.could easily fall in love with. You always want to see the best for him.

:55:30. > :55:34.And yet again, he has produced a performance that kept the crowd on

:55:34. > :55:40.the edge of their seats and ultimately that is what he wants to

:55:40. > :55:48.see. They want to see a close race but also to see their champion take

:55:48. > :55:52.the victor. Mo Farah delivered and there he is holding the Union Jack

:55:52. > :56:00.aloft the way we like to see it. What do you think today will do for

:56:00. > :56:07.Mo? He has been in Kenya and then he comes into this. What Colin says,

:56:07. > :56:11.it echoes how much people love him and have endeared to his journey

:56:11. > :56:17.and how meteoric his rise has been. But for Mo, I think this was part

:56:17. > :56:25.of the race plan, the bigger picture of how he will run these 5K

:56:25. > :56:35.and 10 k races. A great afternoon of athletics, let's remind you of

:56:35. > :56:37.

:56:38. > :56:42.British team. The 200 metres, Margaret Adeoye and Jo Thomas as

:56:42. > :56:46.well at winning the 800 metres. That will set them off for 2012 in

:56:47. > :56:56.the perfect way. And Jeanette Kwakye, four years from her great

:56:57. > :56:57.

:56:58. > :57:07.2008, she starts in Glasgow with a Farah, what a brilliant race

:57:08. > :57:09.

:57:09. > :57:13.There's the celebrations and as the they get going for Great Britain

:57:13. > :57:16.and Northern Ireland taking the team event, the AVIVA put team

:57:16. > :57:21.performance of the day. That goes to Jeanette Kwakye, we were

:57:21. > :57:26.unanimous in that, great performance from her. The next

:57:26. > :57:32.athletics in a few weekends' time is the Birmingham Indoor AVIVA

:57:32. > :57:34.Grand Prix, the 18th of debris from 1pm. We have got Mo Farah, Holly

:57:34. > :57:39.1pm. We have got Mo Farah, Holly Bleasdale and Jessica Ennis. -- the

:57:40. > :57:45.18th of debris. On the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic against Rafael

:57:45. > :57:54.Nadal. And then the European figure-skating champion skip

:57:54. > :57:57.highlighting -- figure-skating It has certainly been a great

:57:57. > :58:00.finish here from the Kelvin Hall. Annie last thoughts? A great

:58:00. > :58:02.performance from the great British team. We were dubious at the

:58:02. > :58:07.beginning that they came through strong, some great victories from

:58:07. > :58:10.some new faces. It was great. perfect end to what has been an

:58:10. > :58:14.iconic place for us as a British team and nation. Onwards and

:58:15. > :58:22.upwards. And Mo Farah, certainly the right start was Mackie is the

:58:22. > :58:26.King of the track at this time and the crowd love him. A final goodbye

:58:26. > :58:30.from Kelvin Hall. It was the perfect finish. The British team
