:01:57. > :02:03.this is the last chance. Coach Christie will be watching with an

:02:03. > :02:06.eagle eye. Good afternoon. Great anticipation here ahead of mow's

:02:06. > :02:10.debut season, but this meeting in Birmingham didn't build its

:02:10. > :02:17.reputation off the back of one headline act. There are a galaxy of

:02:17. > :02:22.stars here today. Holly Bleasdale. She sails over this time.

:02:22. > :02:28.quickest we have seen from Peter Chambers, but for I don't know how

:02:28. > :02:38.long. Andrew Osagie is coming through. Perri Shakes-Drayton has

:02:55. > :03:05.Robbie Grabarz. Jamaica are the gold medallists again, and it is a

:03:06. > :03:10.New World record. She is going to retain her title. Jenny meadows is

:03:10. > :03:20.going to win this one. Farah is going to make it two gold medals

:03:20. > :03:20.

:03:20. > :03:24.for Great Britain. Beautiful! If you were wondering what to do with

:03:24. > :03:31.a Saturday afternoon there is the answer. What a great afternoon's

:03:31. > :03:41.athletics. Pick out your favourites. In particular, that men's 3,000

:03:41. > :03:45.metres at 4.15 with Mo Farah. It is good afternoon as ever to Denise

:03:45. > :03:48.Lewis and Colin Jackson, but first we have to reflect on the tragic

:03:48. > :03:53.circumstances in South Africa, Oscar Pistorius, one of the great

:03:53. > :03:58.stars of our sport, a global icon faces a charge of premeditated

:03:58. > :04:02.murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. There is a statement on

:04:02. > :04:07.his website, from his family, and also from his management, which

:04:07. > :04:10.says "Most importantly our thoughts are with the family and friends of

:04:10. > :04:15.Reeva Steenkamp, a sentiment we concur, the tragedy is a young

:04:15. > :04:20.woman has host her life. It gons to say the alleged murder charge is

:04:20. > :04:26.disputed in the strongest terms. All of us here with within the team

:04:26. > :04:30.now Oscar to a certain degree. Colin, you know him best, can you

:04:30. > :04:36.articulate this sense of shock this has sent through the sport? I have

:04:36. > :04:40.known him since he was 17. I I was stunned about the news that has

:04:40. > :04:44.happened in sa. It has left me with the questions why, I don't quite

:04:44. > :04:48.understand it. I think Oscar has been so much part of this community

:04:48. > :04:53.that, it has sent a huge shockwave through all of us and left us with

:04:53. > :04:57.this big question, of why? Now, I am not into speculating in any

:04:57. > :05:02.shape or form, I think all the answers to the questions we are

:05:02. > :05:08.wondering about will happen during the pending court case. It is so

:05:08. > :05:13.difficult to fathom. It is the "why "Bit that is gripping the community.

:05:13. > :05:17.It is tough to take in but we just hope there is some resolution.

:05:17. > :05:21.know it is difficult for us all to take in and comment on. Let us

:05:21. > :05:25.focus on the athletic, we have a great afternoon's action in store.

:05:25. > :05:30.As a local lass you must be proud of what this meeting has become.

:05:30. > :05:34.am proud o the meet. It has grown into one of the jewels of the

:05:34. > :05:39.athletic calendar. Fiercely contested. Great athletes have come

:05:39. > :05:44.and today will be no different. The local crowd and so I am looking

:05:44. > :05:48.forward to a great afternoon. much the jewel in the Crown is the

:05:48. > :05:55.appearance of Mo Farah. We sent scram out to Kenya to catch up with

:05:55. > :06:04.him ahead of his preparation for the season. -- Steve Cram. Farah,

:06:04. > :06:11.holding the inside. The crowd are on their feet. He has to find

:06:12. > :06:21.something extra. Come on Mo Farah!6 Farah is going to make it two gold

:06:22. > :06:24.

:06:24. > :06:28.medals for Great Britain. It is amazing to be out here in in the

:06:28. > :06:31.past I have come out here. Works well for me, after the Olympics

:06:31. > :06:34.life has been hectic, a lot more busier and there is more stuff

:06:34. > :06:39.going on, it is important I take myself away from there and try and

:06:39. > :06:43.come out here and get real training. Were you surprised with the impact

:06:43. > :06:48.that your two gold medals has had. Even coming here, you have been

:06:48. > :06:52.here before, I have notice you only have to mention your name and

:06:52. > :06:56.everybody knows you. The people here are friendly and welcoming,

:06:56. > :06:59.and everybody knows you, but they know you more now because everybody

:06:59. > :07:03.watched the Olympics and it is amazing to see so many people

:07:03. > :07:07.congratulating you and trying to say hello to you. In Britain it is

:07:07. > :07:12.a lot more busier. Has it taken ewe while to get back in to things?

:07:12. > :07:17.has taken me longer. Normally it take, because my wife gave birth to

:07:17. > :07:21.two lovely little girl, and you know, it was important for he to

:07:21. > :07:25.spend time with them and take a rest. It is something I trained so

:07:25. > :07:32.hard for. By that point, you know you have to take it easy and start

:07:32. > :07:37.again. Taking it easy is not in his DNA. Already, he is looking to the

:07:37. > :07:41.future and fresh challenges. This season, the World Championship 5

:07:41. > :07:46.and 10,000 double is in his sight, but before that he will make his

:07:46. > :07:50.London Marathon debut in April. Although he won't run the full

:07:50. > :07:54.distance. As a youngster I got a taste of it. I was running the mini

:07:54. > :07:58.marathon and winning that, that was amazing, and London Marathon is one

:07:58. > :08:04.of the big nest the world and it goes through London, so in a way,

:08:04. > :08:11.if I look back in 2000 12 I did the Olympics and how much support, and

:08:11. > :08:15.if you put that on the road. Nobody needs to buy a ticket, so it, just

:08:15. > :08:20.talking about it makes me get excited. I am excite and looking

:08:20. > :08:23.forward to it. It done mean a track runner could be good at marathon,

:08:23. > :08:27.you have to test yourself and see what you can do. So you are going

:08:27. > :08:32.to run half the distance this year, is that just to get familiar with

:08:32. > :08:36.it, with a view to what is come something the future or it is it

:08:36. > :08:39.just to say thank you to the British public. It is a bit of

:08:39. > :08:43.everything. I like to see the course, I like to see the day

:08:43. > :08:47.before the race, and you do the press stuff, and the day of the

:08:47. > :08:51.race you wake up early in the morning and you have to get used to

:08:52. > :08:57.that I have a feeling Alberto Salazar will be at the half point

:08:57. > :09:02.in case you get tempted to keep going. It is weird. I said to

:09:02. > :09:06.myself, you know, talking to Ricky and Dave, I said what if I feel

:09:06. > :09:13.great? No, no, no, this is it. You don't go past that point.

:09:13. > :09:16.really think that the other guys, the Wilson kip sangs will see will

:09:16. > :09:24.seeing moef and believing you are going to drop out? I don't know.

:09:24. > :09:28.They have to know. My aim is not to finish, otherwise it makes it

:09:28. > :09:32.pointless. It doesn't go with the plan. Our plan is to train for it.

:09:32. > :09:36.Think about it and 2014 I like to go all the way and finish and run a

:09:36. > :09:46.decent time, but for 2013. It is just a practise, if you can

:09:46. > :09:52.

:09:52. > :09:55.Well if you thought double Olympic champions spent their time in the

:09:55. > :09:58.lap of luxury, think again. Steve Cram and Paula Radcliffe are up in

:09:58. > :10:05.the commentary brobgs. Good afternoon to you two. Steve, it

:10:05. > :10:10.really is quite a contrast isn't it, what you, London 2012 and see Mo in

:10:10. > :10:13.those conditions in Kenya? Yes, a real contrast, very spartan

:10:13. > :10:18.facilities there, Paula has been there herself, it is what Mo and

:10:18. > :10:24.the other athletes out there need. It is, you know, Kenya of course is

:10:24. > :10:27.a place where running is in the DNA, I use that phrase in there, but

:10:28. > :10:33.everybody round there is really part of the running community, and

:10:33. > :10:37.Mo, of course, has transcended everybody there to become this folk

:10:37. > :10:41.hero, not just here but out there. All that said, he is able to go and

:10:41. > :10:47.by himself, be the athlete again, get back into serious training,

:10:47. > :10:50.sleep, you know have the right food, he has the back up there of yuck

:10:50. > :10:54.athletics. -- UK athletic, it has been an ideal place for him to get

:10:54. > :10:58.back into the hard work he has needed to do, and you know, he had

:10:58. > :11:02.a good trip there and he comes here in good shape. Paula, how do you

:11:02. > :11:07.sense he is coping with being the double Olympic champion? Even out

:11:07. > :11:12.there he is regarded as a bigger star than he was beforehand? He s

:11:12. > :11:15.but I think the biggest thing is that is where he is happiest, that

:11:15. > :11:19.is where he had all the things he needs and none of the things he

:11:19. > :11:23.doesn't need. So he is able to focus on the hard work, get

:11:23. > :11:26.everything, because he is only as good as his last race. He knows

:11:26. > :11:29.that. He has set his targets for the year aid head and after that,

:11:29. > :11:33.he is working towards that, he has been able to go out there and

:11:33. > :11:37.knuckle down, work from probably he would say not being in good shape

:11:37. > :11:42.when he got out there, into good shape I would think if if he is

:11:42. > :11:49.here today. He is aiming to run fast here but to run well in the

:11:49. > :11:53.half marathon next week and to build up in London too. So you

:11:53. > :11:58.mentioned London, and this, well to me what seems like a bizarre

:11:58. > :12:02.decision to run half of the London Marathon what do you make of it?

:12:02. > :12:08.mean, honestley, I find it strange too. It is not what I would have

:12:08. > :12:12.done. I think either you go somewhere and you run a half and

:12:12. > :12:18.try and run it fast, or you take the plunge and you jump in and

:12:18. > :12:22.attack the distance prop land race it. Here you are caught between two.

:12:23. > :12:26.Are you psyched up ready to race? He has got that from rining the

:12:26. > :12:30.mini marathon, for me you go into the marathon when you are ready to

:12:30. > :12:34.run it, to do it properly and to attack it hard, but, I think

:12:34. > :12:38.everybody has different reasons and he is going to get a feel and some

:12:38. > :12:42.experience. It is a thumbs down from Paula. What about you Steve?

:12:42. > :12:48.don't know about thumbs down, I think it is slightly difficult to

:12:48. > :12:52.comprehend, but what is evident, chatting to him when he was out

:12:52. > :12:57.there, he does feel as though he wants to kind of be in front of a

:12:57. > :13:00.British crowd and when he watched the marathon at the Olympics and

:13:00. > :13:06.saw how many people will turn out to watch it. I said that will

:13:06. > :13:09.happen in 2014 as well. I agree from a racing perspectivetive.

:13:09. > :13:14.Running 64 minutes, is something he could probably do by himself, so

:13:14. > :13:19.why he needs to do it there my worry is when he is in that race he

:13:19. > :13:23.won't want to stop and he will keep going. From the marathon to the 60

:13:23. > :13:29.metre, we will hand to you for the first heat. Peter Chambers goes in

:13:29. > :13:35.first heat. Peter Chambers goes in this one. Thank you Jonathan, and

:13:35. > :13:40.from the marathon to the shortest distance that we contest in world

:13:40. > :13:45.athletics. The 60 metres indoors. Two heats, the two fastest loser

:13:45. > :13:52.also go through to the final later this afterand Peter Chambers goes

:13:52. > :13:57.in this first heat. He goes up against the Commonwealth champion

:13:57. > :14:07.from Delhi, Clark, who happens to be the second fastest in the world

:14:07. > :14:31.

:14:31. > :14:37.Championships looming, then good chance for him to cement his place

:14:37. > :14:41.in the team. He was disqualified in his last indoor race a couple of

:14:42. > :14:47.weeks ago. Said this young man has been having a good sfpblt 22, big

:14:47. > :14:52.new personal best, was third in the UK Championships last week. He

:14:52. > :14:59.doesn't, he is not getting any younger but he is not getting

:14:59. > :15:03.slower. Kim Colin, still running very rer -- well indoors. 6.57 this

:15:03. > :15:08.year. Clark has gone quicker, second fastest in the world with

:15:08. > :15:16.6.52. Showing good early season form and was a winner of the big

:15:16. > :15:21.meeting in Dusseldorf. Peter Chambers had a good start to the

:15:21. > :15:26.season. We saw his win in Glasgow back in January. Had one more race

:15:26. > :15:36.since then. But didn't take March part in the UK Championships. Had a

:15:36. > :15:55.

:15:55. > :16:01.niggle in his back. This is Jason the outside. Again, the best form

:16:01. > :16:11.he has managed to show. The big names in the middle. Collins,

:16:11. > :16:15.

:16:15. > :16:22.Not quite filled up yet, a few empty seats, but a good atmosphere

:16:22. > :16:32.always generated here. A little bit of action in the field at the crowd

:16:32. > :16:35.

:16:35. > :16:41.are into, Kim Collins joining in, Chambers, having missed out on the

:16:41. > :16:44.UK championships, the European Indoor Championships in Gothenburg

:16:44. > :16:54.in a couple of weeks' time. The final team will be selected

:16:54. > :17:20.

:17:20. > :17:25.Robert Graham, very obvious. I will bring in Colin, sitting alongside

:17:25. > :17:29.me, who was not bad at starting, where you? It took a while to

:17:29. > :17:33.settle down, they were met to be called to blocks and we had an

:17:33. > :17:38.interruption. A few nerves down there, but a few of these guys have

:17:38. > :17:43.a chance to start -- of scalps here. There is not much to choose from

:17:43. > :17:49.them. It is a nerve-racking time, the 60m, because you know you have

:17:49. > :17:54.to get out very quickly indeed. Everyone is very close, you could

:17:54. > :17:58.literally throw a whole blanket over this field. You can understand

:17:58. > :18:04.why these guys are quite anxious and nervous and want to settle in

:18:04. > :18:10.the box before they get away. He has a touch of the Linford

:18:11. > :18:16.Christie about him. His coach will probably have a word with him

:18:16. > :18:22.afterwards whatever happens here. He has definitely disqualified,

:18:22. > :18:26.Robert Graham is gone. That will leave us with seven. You should not

:18:26. > :18:30.be surprised, I know that sometimes people wander about this at home,

:18:30. > :18:40.it is part of the discipline of the event, at when you get to the

:18:40. > :18:48.

:18:48. > :18:58.Germany, then Collins, Clarke and Chambers and the middle. -- Lucas

:18:58. > :19:06.

:19:06. > :19:10.good start, maybe too good in lane two. He was definitely the fastest

:19:10. > :19:15.and of the blocks, or whether it was legal or not, I suspect not.

:19:15. > :19:19.Colin? We are looking carefully at the computers to see what they are

:19:19. > :19:26.saying. What will our arise tell us? Definite movement before the

:19:26. > :19:34.gun? I am pretty sure, unfortunately he will be

:19:34. > :19:39.disqualified. He has been close to the standard UK Athletics have set,

:19:39. > :19:43.you can imagine how it frustrated he will be. He will get a straight

:19:43. > :19:46.disqualification. It looks as though they are preparing the black

:19:46. > :19:51.and red card. They have to go through this rigmarole where

:19:51. > :19:56.everyone went up behind the blocks again, then he walks up... There he

:19:56. > :20:01.goes. He should know, when you false start, you know you have

:20:01. > :20:04.false started. I absolutely, and you can always do it yourself next

:20:04. > :20:08.to your opponents. He will be very disappointed with that because he

:20:08. > :20:15.had a real chance of qualifying for the final and making it through to

:20:15. > :20:23.the Europeans. Colin referred to that qualifying time, 6.60, and he

:20:23. > :20:28.had run 61 earlier this year. His opportunity is gone. Six men are

:20:28. > :20:38.left now. If they keep going like this, they will have a walk through

:20:38. > :20:47.

:20:48. > :20:53.Chambers a week reasonably well. Clarke is going absolutely nowhere

:20:53. > :20:59.on the near side. This is Rion Pierre. That was a messy race, what

:20:59. > :21:02.happened to Chambers and Clarke? He was OK, but the other two big names,

:21:02. > :21:05.Clarke looks as though he is limping, he was not running

:21:05. > :21:11.smoothly at all. Dwain Chambers seemed to get out of the blocks

:21:11. > :21:16.pretty well, and I am not sure what went wrong for him. He has had this

:21:16. > :21:21.back problem. What a messy race, really. Overcoming the form book.

:21:21. > :21:25.That is more of a stumble than anything else. This is a very

:21:26. > :21:30.strange race, indeed. Dwain Chambers seemed to react OK, but he

:21:30. > :21:37.was very soft. Clarke could to his left was just ambling down the

:21:37. > :21:42.track. Everything is going on, Chambers was struggling to make it

:21:43. > :21:48.through there. In Moscow he did not run well, we are worrying about his

:21:48. > :21:54.former, we're very disappointed with that first race indeed. Lots

:21:54. > :22:00.of questions there. Kim Collins, safely through. Yes, very close for

:22:00. > :22:02.third, we might have to leave that to the photo finish. While we do,

:22:02. > :22:07.to the photo finish. While we do, let's find out what happened to

:22:07. > :22:14.Dwain Chambers. What happened there, the false

:22:14. > :22:21.start affect you first of all? it does not help. But the other

:22:21. > :22:26.guys just ran past, was not able to get them at the start.

:22:26. > :22:30.I got through injury free, let's hope by get through to the final.

:22:30. > :22:35.How has it been? I know you had the back injury that forced to out of

:22:35. > :22:39.the trials in Sheffield last weekend? It is difficult, I am not

:22:39. > :22:45.used to injuries, but I just have to get a little more mature, these

:22:45. > :22:54.things happen. Listen learned for me. I will take this as an

:22:54. > :22:59.experience and went to improve from Well, it will be interesting to see

:22:59. > :23:05.whether he has gone fast enough to get through. The two fastest loser

:23:05. > :23:08.spots are available, but he is only in fifth place, and that 6.81, I

:23:08. > :23:13.will be gobsmacked if that is enough to get through to the finals.

:23:13. > :23:21.Kim Collins wins it, Rion Pierre takes second, Lucas to come tricked

:23:21. > :23:23.takes the third spot just ahead of takes the third spot just ahead of

:23:23. > :23:28.Jason Rogers. -- Lucas Jakubczyk. The air is the line-up for the

:23:28. > :23:33.women's long jump. The first athlete to jump is the UK women's

:23:33. > :23:36.champion Dominique Blaize. The last to jump his British record holder

:23:37. > :23:46.at Shara Proctor, who broke the long-standing British record in

:23:47. > :23:49.

:23:50. > :23:59.in at the Sheffield Arena. Dominique Blaize was our number one

:24:00. > :24:04.

:24:04. > :24:08.It is only the long jump, you can always tell with the body language

:24:08. > :24:13.when they get out of the pit whether they are happy with it,

:24:13. > :24:16.whether they think they have done well. That is a pretty average

:24:16. > :24:24.start for Dominique Blaize, from the Kingston and Polytechnic

:24:24. > :24:28.Harriers club. South London, coached by a former British

:24:28. > :24:38.heptathlete, Julie Hellman, and there it is, six metres for the

:24:38. > :24:44.

:24:44. > :24:49.moment indoors, which to the Olympic Games last year but did not

:24:49. > :24:57.qualify. She is a very metre runner. Not too much acceleration into the

:24:57. > :25:03.board, but, boy, did she power a take-off. Tremendous height. The

:25:03. > :25:08.judge just out of camera shot having a very close look. A left-

:25:08. > :25:16.footed take-off. The judge is leaning forward there, that was

:25:16. > :25:22.very close to being a foul. My goodness, absolutely spot on, that

:25:22. > :25:32.looked like a good start to her campaign here. 6.32, a good start

:25:32. > :25:37.

:25:37. > :25:45.Shara Proctor had this arena all to herself two want to go, set two

:25:45. > :25:47.British records. She has subsequently improved to 6.89 at

:25:48. > :25:55.the World Indoor Championships. That looks a cracking start for

:25:55. > :25:59.Shara Proctor. A very simple technique. And does world indoor

:26:00. > :26:04.championships, where she set the current British record of 6.89, she

:26:04. > :26:09.won the bronze medal. She has been a world championship finalist. We

:26:09. > :26:14.had high hopes of a picking up a medal in London 2012, but she could

:26:14. > :26:18.only finish 9th in the final. Nevertheless, a good performance in

:26:18. > :26:25.itself to finish in ninth place, but I guess she feels she could

:26:25. > :26:35.have done better. 6.46, that is the end of the first round.

:26:35. > :26:39.Heat two of the men's 60m, Het -- Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. Mike

:26:39. > :26:48.Rodgers from the UK inside 10 is in decent form, as well. They have

:26:48. > :26:53.been dropping like flies in this one. In heat one, a couple of false

:26:53. > :27:02.start disqualification. Andre Wright is in lane one. Second in

:27:02. > :27:07.the 200m might in Sheffield last week. A personal best of 6.76. Greg

:27:07. > :27:17.Cackett. Margot Wells on her thin, saw his sprinting talent in his

:27:17. > :27:25.previous life as a footballer. -- one earth to him. And one Adams, a

:27:25. > :27:35.surprise bronze-medallist at the 2011 world championships. --

:27:35. > :27:41.

:27:41. > :27:49.boating. From let established as the lead-off man in the Jamaican

:27:49. > :27:55.relay team. -- firmly established. There is the formidable figure core

:27:55. > :27:59.of Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. Last year he was blighted by a torn

:27:59. > :28:09.hamstring. The youngest man in this race by a

:28:09. > :28:12.

:28:12. > :28:16.distance, still just 18, judge and do the job. -- Chijindu Ujah.

:28:16. > :28:26.Mike Le blog from Canada have got as far as the indoors final last

:28:26. > :28:26.

:28:26. > :29:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:29:10. > :29:17.up from Nesta Carter. Taken by Mike Rodgers.

:29:17. > :29:23.Showing his form throughout, he quickly held on, Mike Rodgers and

:29:23. > :29:27.Mr Parker, looked a little off the pace, perhaps. 6.61 for the winner.

:29:27. > :29:32.We will see who has gone through further down the times in addition

:29:32. > :29:39.to the first three, looking for the two fastest semi-finalist.

:29:39. > :29:45.fastest losers will come from this heat, no doubt about it.

:29:45. > :29:48.All of these athletes will have realised that 6.82, 6.72 qualified

:29:48. > :29:54.from the last heat, they know they are all better than that. They will

:29:54. > :29:58.be looking for those top three places guaranteed to the final.

:29:58. > :30:02.Nesta Carter, I am pretty sure there is more to come from him in

:30:02. > :30:06.the final. As we look at the main protagonists,

:30:06. > :30:12.just out of shot Greg Cackett was going very well in lane two, as

:30:12. > :30:22.well. Hopefully a season's best for him, 6.65 at the moment, Let's see

:30:22. > :30:38.

:30:38. > :30:45.have been lacking forward to is the women's pole vault and pride of

:30:45. > :30:48.place has to go to blees blows who in Sheffield when winning the title

:30:48. > :30:55.jumped 4.77. That is the biggest height in the world this year. --

:30:55. > :30:59.Holly Bleasdale. Katie Byers the current British junior record

:30:59. > :31:05.holder going for 4.35 for a season's best. She has been looking

:31:05. > :31:13.good in warm up and with her first jump in the competition as well.

:31:13. > :31:18.Her previous season's best 4.30. Her lifetime best 4.52. A little

:31:18. > :31:22.way to go. Looking superb there. The the plant and the pole bend,

:31:22. > :31:29.then you have a lot of work to do on top of the pole. Gave it a

:31:29. > :31:35.little nick on the way up, but no problems there. Shara Proctor leads

:31:35. > :31:45.the way in this women's long jump. Well over six metres in the first

:31:45. > :31:47.

:31:47. > :31:51.round. 6.40 plus, and that surely is a 6.40 plus jump too. Formally

:31:51. > :31:55.chose to compete for her native country, then she was cleared to

:31:55. > :32:04.compete for Britain, from November 2010, and she has done so with

:32:04. > :32:09.distinction since then. So looking for an improvement from the first

:32:09. > :32:16.round. 6.46 in the first round. That looks pretty close but looking

:32:16. > :32:20.to go further as well. 6.49, another season's best in round two.

:32:20. > :32:25.Confirmation of the result from the second heat in the men's 60 metres,

:32:25. > :32:35.we thought the two fast qualifiers would come from this heat and we

:32:35. > :32:39.can confirm that. So, confirmation then of the qualifiers for the

:32:39. > :32:49.final, no Peter Chambers of course, run out of it in the first heat,

:32:49. > :32:55.the first semifinal, but that is As Andrew Cotter said. No cham came

:32:55. > :33:00.in the final. Really a surprise. We saw him running 6.58 and struggling

:33:00. > :33:04.He was looking great in Glasgow. A bit of a surprise, I am surprised a

:33:04. > :33:10.that Dwayne is out here if he is hurt. We know he had a back injury.

:33:10. > :33:15.He is a seasoned come pet ter for. He nou knows how to run these race,

:33:15. > :33:19.but just didn't seem to get going, soy would say he has to be be hurt.

:33:19. > :33:26.The other thing, and I don't like to mention it so much, when you get

:33:26. > :33:30.older, your performance does fluctuate regardless of sqirry.

:33:30. > :33:35.there -- injury. The maturity and with a lot of training under your

:33:35. > :33:39.belt, the experience Dwayne has had, you pick up niggles and it can

:33:39. > :33:45.affect your performance, for is one of his age, dare I say it, you have

:33:45. > :33:51.to be try and be in tip top condition all the time. Next up

:33:51. > :33:56.it's the men's 400 metres. We have the Olympic silver medallist we,

:33:56. > :34:02.have the bronze medallist and that was quite some race, at London 2012.

:34:02. > :34:06.James taking, we can see there, James in the middle. Santos on the

:34:06. > :34:12.outside and Gordan in the red on the inside. But James was majestic

:34:12. > :34:14.in this race. He was majestic, we in this race. He was majestic, we

:34:14. > :34:18.were awaiting his performance, but what was great about this race in

:34:18. > :34:23.particular, is the dominance of the Caribbean athletes. Santos in

:34:23. > :34:26.particular, coming off the back of that world junior Championship,

:34:26. > :34:30.winning that emphatic style to take the silver medal. So it is great to

:34:30. > :34:34.see him here, out in Birmingham. am not sure what form he is in. We

:34:35. > :34:38.will find out soon enough. 6 Steve Cram calling this one. Thanks

:34:38. > :34:43.Jonathan, I don't think he is in great form. He has run a couple of

:34:43. > :34:47.races this year. He ran 49 seconds in his first race in Canada we will

:34:47. > :34:52.let him off with that one. He has had problems getting here, I know

:34:52. > :35:00.his manager had to head off to Paris, and get him a late visa, and

:35:00. > :35:08.he only arrived here fairly late in afternoon. So, there is the line up.

:35:08. > :35:16.Richard Strachan is going well this year. So is Nigel Levine. Santos

:35:17. > :35:22.and Gordan the two big names. Here is Smith, Calvin Smith. Bearer of a

:35:22. > :35:26.great sprinting name. A couple of 200 and 300 this year. This is his

:35:26. > :35:31.first full 400. Drawn the dreaded inside lane. That first lap, of

:35:31. > :35:37.course, indoors is important. Rabah Yousif has been in good form this

:35:37. > :35:42.year. Lives and trains in the UK although he runs for Sudan. Been

:35:42. > :35:48.running really well. 46.82. He will need to go quicker. Fifth ranked in

:35:48. > :35:52.the world, Richard Strachan. Ran here in the Birmingham games, three

:35:52. > :36:00.or four weeks' ago. Ran 46 .22 in the heats. Pretty much on his own.

:36:00. > :36:08.He was beaten by this man at the UK Championships. Nigel Levine. He is

:36:08. > :36:13.in top form. Just to remind you 46.9 is the qualifying time to and

:36:13. > :36:18.Nigel Levine is guaranteed his spot at the Europeans. What we will see

:36:18. > :36:25.from Santos, he is a big hero back home, he lives in Porto Reich co-,

:36:25. > :36:32.when he flew back home he got a her Rees welcome. I think Lalonde Gordn

:36:33. > :36:37.will be the one to watch. That is in the top ten ever fastest times.

:36:37. > :36:47.So that is a good indicator of the form he brings to this race. He has

:36:47. > :36:55.

:36:55. > :37:00.a good lane on the outside. Santos for a 400 meertd runner. Probably

:37:00. > :37:10.well suited to running this event indoors but has he got the pace to

:37:10. > :37:23.

:37:23. > :37:29.stick with Gordon through the first of the box. Starting quickly is

:37:29. > :37:33.Nigel Levine. He has made ground on San to, Strachan going well as well.

:37:33. > :37:37.Strachan might have the advantage. Rabah Yousif trying to get up on

:37:37. > :37:41.the two big names. He has a lot of work to do. It is Rabah Yousif,

:37:41. > :37:45.Strachan, Levine as they go through the bell. Santos and Gordon is

:37:45. > :37:50.miles off it at the moment. Rabah Yousif looking behind on the inside.

:37:50. > :37:54.Strachan is right there. He wants them to run wide. He is going well.

:37:54. > :37:57.Look at Levine attacks on the back straight. Gets himself in a good

:37:57. > :38:03.position. Gordon is finishing quickly from the back. He won't get

:38:03. > :38:10.there. There is Nigel Levine's race. Goes away strongly. Gordon finishes

:38:10. > :38:14.just to take second from Strachan. 46.34. Very very quick. Good

:38:14. > :38:19.running from Levine. His fastest of the season but a well judged race.

:38:19. > :38:23.When you get to the Championships that is what you have to do. Didn't

:38:23. > :38:26.panic, you let Rabah Yousif take it out. Even let his team-mate get in

:38:26. > :38:30.between him and the leader. Strong down the back straight. Put himself

:38:30. > :38:36.in the right position. Attacked round the top and came away with a

:38:37. > :38:41.really good victory. Really good race there, look at Rabah Yousif,

:38:41. > :38:46.he wants the first place through the 200 metre, if you get that

:38:46. > :38:52.wrong, you have nothing to hold people off with. Look how far back

:38:52. > :38:57.Gordon s I think he will go way and think what was I doing? Way too

:38:57. > :39:01.slow, he has run 20.6 indoor, no excuse for him. Look how quick he

:39:01. > :39:10.finishes but there is no catching Nigel Levine. Gordon gets second.

:39:10. > :39:14.Strachan third. Look how relaxed he is. Perfect position. He knows he's

:39:14. > :39:18.is going to win from here. Strachan is fighting hard. This is an

:39:18. > :39:27.athlete in good form. Surely he has to go to the European indoors with

:39:27. > :39:31.a very very good chance of at least a medal. Good victory, pleased the

:39:31. > :39:35.a medal. Good victory, pleased the crowd. Our winner is with Phil. He

:39:35. > :39:38.S and a delighted man I am sure. A couple of great scalps in two of

:39:38. > :39:43.the Olympic medallists. A tremendous performance from

:39:43. > :39:49.yourself. I am quite pleased with it. I came here to win. I would

:39:49. > :39:56.like to thank Linford Christie, my coach, Ron, training grueng

:39:56. > :40:03.obviously. Richard Strachan, my family, friends, thaerch supported

:40:03. > :40:08.me. Brunel, yes It is good. You got it tactically spot on as well.

:40:08. > :40:14.guess so. That is how it appeared. I gez so I was just trying to hold

:40:14. > :40:17.my nerve, keep it calm, -- guess, I am happy to win. It is good for

:40:17. > :40:22.Gothenburg projecting forward. good for the European, hopefully I

:40:22. > :40:27.can make the final. My aim is to make the final, and then obviously,

:40:27. > :40:33.I will set my next target after that. We form like that, anything

:40:33. > :40:40.is possible. Thank you Phil. Well done indeed. Pleased with a win and

:40:40. > :40:46.46.34, a season's best. Gordon had a second's best. Strachan, solid

:40:46. > :40:50.enough, he is guaranteed his spot at the European indoor

:40:50. > :40:54.championships. A little earlier on we had a domestic 400 metre race.

:40:54. > :40:58.We hoped to see Richard Buck but he was a late withdrawal in warm up.

:40:58. > :41:02.So it was left to a contested, we thought it was going to be a

:41:02. > :41:12.thought it was going to be a contest between Jack Green. On the

:41:12. > :41:13.

:41:13. > :41:19.outside Luke Ed for who was unlucky not to get selected for the Olympic

:41:19. > :41:26.Games. -- Luke Ford. Green looked to be in a good position, the 400

:41:26. > :41:31.metre hurdler, looking for good flat speed, but starts to tie up

:41:31. > :41:36.and Lennon Ford looked strong by stark contrast indeed to Jack Green

:41:36. > :41:41.who faded really badly, Lennon Ford hanging on for the win. And a

:41:42. > :41:46.season's best for him. And Jack Green, well, not sure what that was

:41:46. > :41:55.about. He wasn't injured or hurt, I think that is called lactic acid in

:41:55. > :42:05.your legs mate that. Is a bit more winter training to be done, I think.

:42:05. > :42:15.

:42:15. > :42:20.we are sorry the hear one of our great 400 metres of the past Todd

:42:20. > :42:26.Bennett is battling serious illness. I am sure everyone in athletics

:42:26. > :42:36.would join me in passing our our best wishes. Our thoughts very much

:42:36. > :42:42.

:42:42. > :42:47.Proctor has been bouncing round the infield, staying warm, leaving

:42:47. > :42:55.those muscles nice and loose, let us see what she can do in the third

:42:55. > :43:01.round. She powers into the board again. That could be even further.

:43:01. > :43:06.Well, a lot of people thought, as I alluded to in the introduction,

:43:06. > :43:12.that Shara Proctor could have been on the medal rostrum in London. She

:43:12. > :43:17.produced some fabulous jumps last year. She does seem to be getting

:43:17. > :43:21.better and better as time goes on. A valuable addition to the Great

:43:21. > :43:31.Britain and Northern Ireland athletics team. Waiting anxiously

:43:31. > :43:31.

:43:31. > :43:37.for the distance. That is good once more. She still leads, 6.63. Holly

:43:37. > :43:44.Bleasdale looks very composed indeed. Suffered a rare defeat in

:43:44. > :43:50.Europe to Silva, who is here today. This is for 50 and she made it look

:43:50. > :43:55.very easy indeed. Veil has already failed that height, so immediately

:43:55. > :44:00.Holly Bleasdale gets the advantage. Katie Byers the British June

:44:00. > :44:05.orrecord holder, she has failed it once as well. -- junior. Holly

:44:05. > :44:10.Bleasdale gets the advantage straight away. That was massive.

:44:10. > :44:15.Still to come, we have a red hot women's 60 metres with Shelly Ann

:44:15. > :44:18.Fraser Pryce, the double Olympic champion up against the second

:44:18. > :44:28.quickest woman of all time, Carmelita Jeter. In the men's high

:44:28. > :44:30.

:44:30. > :44:40.jump it is an Olympic replay again as the Olympic champion takes on

:44:40. > :44:41.

:44:41. > :44:46.Robbie Grabarz. Then moef to finish off. A straight final here. No

:44:46. > :44:49.heats, no semifinals but a race involving possibly Britain's top

:44:49. > :44:54.women's hurdler Tiffany Porter although Jessica Ennis might vie

:44:54. > :44:57.for that. The winner here last year Danielle Carruthers outside. A

:44:57. > :45:07.chance for Katarina Johnson- Thompson to test her hurdling about

:45:07. > :45:36.

:45:36. > :45:40.alongside her. She ran it 0.04 in France earlier this week. And

:45:40. > :45:45.Tiffany Porter, the world indoor civil -- silver-medallist in

:45:45. > :45:55.Istanbul last year, behind Sally Pearson, and the home crowd I

:45:55. > :46:03.

:46:03. > :46:13.acknowledges her. -- the home crowd year was supposed to Olga great

:46:13. > :46:38.

:46:38. > :46:41.things for the season. Injury Ennis is, but few are. But she is

:46:41. > :46:51.learning a few things, as well, just getting to compete in this

:46:51. > :47:26.

:47:26. > :47:33.quickly, she rises first but was passed by Porter. Daniel Carruthers

:47:33. > :47:40.comes through to sneak it very close at the end. Carruthers just

:47:40. > :47:45.coming through Porter, Carruthers with the victory. I think

:47:45. > :47:50.Carruthers is very happily with the victory. She will perhaps be

:47:50. > :47:55.disappointed with the clock. A personal best of 7.88 is way

:47:55. > :48:05.quicker than what she produced today.

:48:05. > :48:07.

:48:07. > :48:12.From the blocks, Tiffany Porter usually gets a strong start, but

:48:12. > :48:22.O'Rourke also get some really strong start. Lookout hate that is.

:48:22. > :48:25.

:48:25. > :48:30.What a finish! -- what a finish. good, competitive race. They love

:48:30. > :48:36.running against each other, these women, they love competing. Watch

:48:36. > :48:46.this as they drive to the line. Talking about a blanket, look at

:48:46. > :48:48.

:48:48. > :48:51.A big old blanket. Let's hear from the main protagonist down with Phil.

:48:51. > :48:56.Looking over the scoreboard, Danielle, you got the win, we're

:48:56. > :49:01.waiting for the time, Tiffany, what do you think? It was not my best,

:49:01. > :49:05.but that happens, I came to do my best, I will take it. You're

:49:05. > :49:08.projecting forward to the European indoors, that was eventful a few

:49:08. > :49:15.years ago when you dislocated your shoulder crossing the line for a

:49:15. > :49:20.medal. I am not doing the Europeans this

:49:20. > :49:25.year, actually. You were not going for it? That is not part of the

:49:25. > :49:30.plan it now. I am just going to focus on doing my best for the

:49:30. > :49:35.outdoor season. All the best, we will let you go for a warm-down.

:49:35. > :49:39.What a reception for you, Katerina, you shot to prominence at the

:49:39. > :49:46.Olympics and it has carried on. I cannot believe I am actually

:49:46. > :49:52.involved, I was watching at at home last year.

:49:52. > :49:58.This has been evolving, it is such an event. Tiffany is saying she is

:49:58. > :50:03.not doing the Europeans, where does this factor into your projections?

:50:03. > :50:08.Last year I said that would not put much focus on the indoors, I am

:50:08. > :50:15.going to dabble in bits and bobs. Fokker's on high jump, because I

:50:15. > :50:19.think in European, I have not been invited to the pentathlon. I am

:50:19. > :50:29.just going to events like this to. All the best for what you have

:50:29. > :50:38.

:50:38. > :50:48.coming up this year and great to this -- the quickest 60m hurdles.

:50:48. > :51:00.

:51:00. > :51:06.Daniel Carruthers just outside her second attempt, but this is a hate

:51:06. > :51:11.our competitor has actually passed. Extravagant, right at the top of

:51:11. > :51:15.the pole, boat -- but a good effort, nevertheless. She goes clear and

:51:15. > :51:21.goes into the lead in this competition. Holly Bleasdale has

:51:21. > :51:31.just had one attempt so far at the 4.50. That was a massive clearance,

:51:31. > :51:34.

:51:34. > :51:37.so Holly Bleasdale will come in at a much higher height. Silva, who

:51:37. > :51:41.a much higher height. Silva, who beat Bleasdale just a few days ago.

:51:41. > :51:46.Da fascinating competition Viera at the pole vault. Disappointing there

:51:46. > :51:50.from Tiffany Porter, she did not quite produce. She did not, but it

:51:50. > :51:54.is still early in the season, people are still finding their way

:51:55. > :52:00.with their form, trying to get speed into the legs. She did not

:52:00. > :52:04.have the best start. Usually, 60m is very good for Tiffany. She is

:52:04. > :52:09.very explosive are out of the blocks. As you said, it was not her

:52:09. > :52:13.day today. She has to take it on the chin, she has no big

:52:13. > :52:19.aspirations for indoors anyway, she has just touching base and getting

:52:19. > :52:25.back into the competitive field. How did you like the look of

:52:25. > :52:30.Katrina did -- Katrina Thompson Johnson, a huge talent? I do not

:52:30. > :52:34.like to compare athlete, but she reminds me of another athlete in

:52:34. > :52:40.terms of a potential. Hurdles will be difficult for her indoors, but

:52:40. > :52:50.she does not have much plans for it, we have to look at her outdoors.

:52:50. > :52:53.

:52:53. > :52:58.Yes, Jessica Ennis did not decide to compete in does -- indoors, how

:52:58. > :53:02.do you make that decision? E have been make the decision, I am

:53:02. > :53:07.going to savour this, enjoy this. So often as an athlete, you achieve

:53:07. > :53:10.your goal, knew immediately set the next one and don't get time to

:53:10. > :53:14.appreciate it. I think she deliberately took that and has

:53:14. > :53:19.sensibly said I am not going to race until I am ready, until I

:53:19. > :53:25.really feel the passion is there to want to race, to attack it, and the

:53:25. > :53:30.performance is there. We have a quick update on your

:53:30. > :53:36.health, how is your foot doing? I am a little stock at the minute,

:53:36. > :53:40.highlighting to get a screw removed that it in my foot. -- I am waiting

:53:40. > :53:49.to get. I am waiting to start some running up again and see what

:53:49. > :53:53.happens. We next up it is the women's at 60m heat. Shelly-Ann

:53:53. > :54:03.Fraser-Pryce goes in the second heat, first up it is Carmelita

:54:03. > :54:27.

:54:27. > :54:35.very well in Glasgow, and alongside she has the quickest in the world

:54:35. > :54:43.over 60m. She has her work cut out here, she needs to show much better

:54:43. > :54:52.form than we saw three weeks ago. The first three will go through.

:54:52. > :55:02.Anyika Onuora in lane one. She Sherri-Ann Brooks from Jamaica,

:55:02. > :55:11.

:55:11. > :55:21.good indoor speed. She has a qualifying time for the European

:55:21. > :55:31.Championships of 7.30. Annabelle Lewis has been close to that, 7.31.

:55:31. > :55:31.

:55:31. > :55:38.Barbara Pierre. Carmelita Jeter needs to be a bit better. She went

:55:38. > :55:43.back to Albuquerque and got 7.18, impressive by her standards. You

:55:43. > :55:49.cannot question this young lady, who has run under 7.1 on numerous

:55:49. > :55:58.occasions already this year, seven seconds flat, in the top seven

:55:58. > :56:03.fastest times ever. Sherri-Ann Brooks, champion back in

:56:03. > :56:08.Melbourne in 2006, took bronze in 2010. Not quite on that sort of

:56:08. > :56:16.form, 30 years old now. Montell Douglas, sporting a new

:56:16. > :56:20.hairstyle. After the UK championships ranked a small

:56:20. > :56:26.indoors meet last week and ran a new personal best, and Mandy wait

:56:26. > :56:36.in lane eight. Just to confuse you, -- just to

:56:36. > :57:03.

:57:03. > :57:13.confuse you, at no Annabel Lewis. not fit when she run in Glasgow,

:57:13. > :57:35.

:57:35. > :57:38.but she has had three weeks to expected, Carmelita Jeter, then

:57:38. > :57:44.Sherri-Ann Brooks. That is a new stadium record, that is pretty

:57:44. > :57:48.quick. Our statistician is reminding me it is on all-comers

:57:48. > :57:55.record. That is the fastest time not only in Birmingham but anywhere

:57:55. > :58:01.in the UK. She has been in superb form, so consistent, been running

:58:01. > :58:07.7.04, 7.05. Cracking form here, she is so good indoors. Denise Lewis,

:58:07. > :58:12.sitting alongside me, Carmelita Jeter disappointing again?

:58:12. > :58:15.I think you call did, I was so surprised how on condition that she

:58:15. > :58:22.looked, and why someone of that calibre would promote in that

:58:22. > :58:28.condition. -- would come out in that condition. I suspect she is

:58:28. > :58:31.just here to try and get some speed into her legs. There is no rebound

:58:31. > :58:39.off the floor, sprinters are looking for that minimal contact on

:58:39. > :58:43.the ground, light, crisp, and against Ahoure, who is in

:58:43. > :58:52.scintillating form, she looks pedestrian.

:58:52. > :58:56.7.24, that is a really slow from her, but an astounding run from

:58:56. > :59:06.Ahoure, I knew all-comers record, the fastest we have ever seen in

:59:06. > :59:08.

:59:09. > :59:15.Britain. Psych -- a new all-comers for her four metres 70 in this pole

:59:15. > :59:23.vault competition. Only her second jump in the competition so far.

:59:23. > :59:33.Lovely, very smooth. She looked very, very comfortable indeed. She

:59:33. > :59:35.

:59:35. > :59:45.has just seen a Silva miss another jump in the competition. Holly

:59:45. > :59:47.

:59:47. > :59:52.Good form from Holly Bleasdale, next contract it is the second heat

:59:52. > :59:55.of the women's 60m. The female version of Usain Bolt, she is

:59:55. > :59:58.Jamaican, she has two 100m gold Jamaican, she has two 100m gold

:59:59. > :00:02.medals. Can Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of

:00:02. > :00:12.Jamaica retain the title she won so well in the bird's nest four years

:00:12. > :00:15.

:00:16. > :00:21.Shaw is Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce! It is going to be Shelly-Ann Fraser-

:00:21. > :00:24.is going to be Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce! 10.75 seconds. When you

:00:24. > :00:28.announced -- when you were announced as double Olympic

:00:28. > :00:33.champion, straight away that must give you a good boost.

:00:33. > :00:39.I guess or! I don't know, for me, I try not to dwell on things, I

:00:39. > :00:42.forget about what I have and what I focus on is what I want. I guess

:00:42. > :00:47.other athletes will be thinking, all, she is the Olympic champion,

:00:47. > :00:52.but I just try and stay in the moment, thinking about what I want

:00:52. > :00:58.to accomplish, the times I want to run. That is what I will think

:00:58. > :01:03.about when I am on the line. Running indoors is a rarity. I have

:01:03. > :01:06.never run in does before, I have never run at 60m before. A does

:01:06. > :01:11.that just not fit in with your training programme?

:01:11. > :01:15.Denied started to run for the Olympics, I started school and it

:01:15. > :01:19.did not work out for me, to run indoors and also do school, it was

:01:19. > :01:25.out of the question. Now I have graduated, the coach has said, yes,

:01:25. > :01:28.why not? I heard Carmelita Jeter talking

:01:28. > :01:32.about how women's sprinting is right up there now, thanks mainly

:01:32. > :01:37.to the kind of rivalry you have developed over the years. It is

:01:37. > :01:45.getting there, I do not think it has arrived, I think it needs more

:01:45. > :01:49.work, the media has to do more or to promote us. When required and

:01:49. > :01:53.put on these fantastic times, when we have the clashes, when we have

:01:53. > :01:59.an American meeting a Jamaican, two top sprinters, I definitely think

:01:59. > :02:07.that rivalry gives the sport a boost. What are you expecting of

:02:07. > :02:11.this first indoors out in? I have no idea. I will just do what I do

:02:11. > :02:21.best, and that is just try and do my best, get out in front and stay

:02:21. > :02:24.

:02:24. > :02:28.There is not many indoor tracks in Jamaica. I think she will enjoy

:02:28. > :02:34.this event. She has a very explosive start. If she is on top

:02:34. > :02:38.form, can see her getting close to that world mark. Her race face is

:02:38. > :02:41.different from her interview face. Absolutely. She is meaning business.

:02:41. > :02:50.You get anxious and nervous when it is your first time out. She is

:02:50. > :02:53.getting ready. All abuzz round the stadium. A tiny woman physically

:02:53. > :03:03.but a giant in sprinting terms, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, she goes

:03:03. > :03:17.

:03:17. > :03:24.in this one, in lane four, she supposed to be running but she is

:03:24. > :03:31.ill, sadly, so on the inside is Ezinne Okparaebo. A Nigerian by

:03:31. > :03:37.birth. Norwegian wan by nationality. She equal head personal best of

:03:37. > :03:42.7.17. Lal al-- Ivet Lalova the reigning champion. Finished second

:03:42. > :03:52.here last year. -- Ivet Lalova. There she is, and listen for the

:03:52. > :03:56.

:03:56. > :04:02.acclaim. Seems suited to 60 metres even though she has never run that

:04:02. > :04:09.distance. This woman might push her hard, Mariya Ryemyen. European

:04:09. > :04:14.champion over 200 metre last year. And there is Asha Philip. She say

:04:14. > :04:23.she is was shocked by her time of 7.15 in destroying the field in

:04:23. > :04:29.Sheffield last week. Third on the UK list. And Natasha Hastings has

:04:29. > :04:39.gone sub 50 over 400 metres, a cousin of Shaka Hislop, the former

:04:39. > :04:45.

:04:45. > :04:51.Newcastle keeper. And on the out side Shayla Mahan. I know she has

:04:51. > :04:57.never run a 60 metres before, but as we look at Asha Philip, I wonder

:04:57. > :05:05.what Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce can do here. Because she has actually been

:05:05. > :05:10.timed 100 metres race going through 60, in 6.88. The big napes are

:05:10. > :05:15.falling in the men's and women's 60 metres. Carmelita Jeter out of

:05:15. > :05:20.sorts in the first heat, and watching nervously to see what

:05:20. > :05:30.times are produced here. Fist three through, plus the two fastest from

:05:30. > :05:40.

:05:40. > :05:45.the two heats. It is Ezinne tell you there was a false start.

:05:45. > :05:55.And the false start blight visits us again. Who is going to be

:05:55. > :05:55.

:05:55. > :06:00.leaving the building? Might have been Hastings. She certainly rocked.

:06:00. > :06:03.It is very difficult to see there, but Hastings in lane seven, looked

:06:03. > :06:11.to rock in her blocks a little bit, but it is going to be interesting

:06:11. > :06:15.to see what the officials do here. It is not as clear-cut as the false

:06:15. > :06:25.start in theman -- men's 60 metres. We will bring you an update on this

:06:25. > :06:38.

:06:38. > :06:43.sortly. The card comes for nobody at the moment. Blees has already

:06:43. > :06:48.won this pole vault come pe -- Holly Bleasdale, pole vault

:06:49. > :06:57.competition. Veil has been eliminated. But this could be a new

:06:57. > :07:02.British record. 4. 78. She has cleared higher but none of those up

:07:02. > :07:10.to 4.87 have been ratified. So this could be the new record figure,

:07:10. > :07:20.last attempt, oh. It was so, so close. Another victory for Holly

:07:20. > :07:20.

:07:20. > :07:27.but she so wishes she could have Bleasdale was attempting that

:07:27. > :07:36.height, nas sha Hastings have has given Herimar ching order, she will

:07:36. > :07:41.race in the 400 later on. So once again they settle, Ezinne Okparaebo

:07:41. > :07:45.of Norway in two, praise price -- Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce goes in

:07:45. > :07:55.four. Mariya Ryemyen in five. Pilipenko -- Asha Philip in six and

:07:55. > :08:05.

:08:05. > :08:15.Shayla Mahan of the United States tremor from Okparaebo, it looks

:08:15. > :08:17.

:08:17. > :08:20.like a faulty start as much as anything else. The warning given to

:08:20. > :08:25.the starters as much as anything. They will settle down and go it

:08:26. > :08:31.again. A reminder the first three go through, plus the two fast loser,

:08:31. > :08:41.the first heat not the quickest. Carmelita Jeter was 7.24 and

:08:41. > :08:43.

:08:43. > :08:53.finishing fourth in the first heat. The world record for this one is

:08:53. > :08:54.

:08:54. > :08:58.6.92 set way back in 1993. Once again, they settle, second heat of

:08:58. > :09:01.the women's 60 metres. This time they get away, Shelly-Ann Fraser-

:09:01. > :09:04.Pryce a bit sluggish, Okparaebo, but Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce coming

:09:04. > :09:07.there now and Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce is going to take it. Asha

:09:07. > :09:12.Philip coming through to take third place ahead of Mariya Ryemyen and

:09:12. > :09:21.we look for the time. But Shelly- Ann Fraser-Pryce, her first ever 60

:09:21. > :09:24.metres indoors, ends in victory and she will move through to the final.

:09:24. > :09:30.She seems pretty pleased with herself, very composed even though

:09:30. > :09:33.she knows she is going through to the final. It was good to see her

:09:33. > :09:43.blow the cobwebs out and receive that great reception from the

:09:43. > :09:43.

:09:43. > :09:48.Birmingham crowd. Rather like the women's pole vault we have our

:09:48. > :09:52.victor right here in the picture. Shara Proctor has won, despite a

:09:52. > :09:58.challenge, a late challenge from Cornelia Deiac. The good Romanian

:09:58. > :10:04.and Shara Proctor really went for it there. In the last round, she

:10:04. > :10:08.achieved six metres 70. And that is the automatic European indoor

:10:08. > :10:14.Championship standard, if she wants to go of course, to Gothenburg for

:10:14. > :10:17.the European indoor Championships. She may not do. But she has got

:10:17. > :10:25.better and better as this competition has gone on. Only the

:10:25. > :10:31.one foul, that came in round four. 6.46 she started with, then 6.70 in

:10:32. > :10:40.the last round. 6.78, another season's best performance, that is

:10:40. > :10:46.a good victory in the bag for Shara Proctor. The results of that second

:10:46. > :10:50.women's 60 metres semifinal. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce did win it.

:10:50. > :10:58.The times there to notice. Good for Carmelita Jeter. I think she will

:10:58. > :11:08.be through to... The final. We will look at confirmation T Asha Philip,

:11:08. > :11:12.she goes through as well. Just six qualifying in the end. Shelly-Ann

:11:12. > :11:16.Fraser-Pryce and Brooks her fellow Jamaican with the quickest times. -

:11:16. > :11:19.- and we will wait for two more to go through there. I think we can

:11:19. > :11:26.confirm that Carmelita Jeter will be threw. So that is six of the

:11:26. > :11:30.qualify, they is the second automatic qualifiers. -- that is.

:11:30. > :11:34.Just over an hour gone, a couple more to go. Robbie Grabarz is out

:11:34. > :11:38.for the high jump. We will see that shortly. He is up against the

:11:38. > :11:43.Olympic champion. It should be quite a head-to-head. And then in

:11:43. > :11:51.the women's 1500 metres, she has been far and away outstanding at

:11:51. > :11:56.this distance so tar this season, Genzebe Dibaba. And Andrew Osagie,

:11:56. > :12:00.he ran the 600 in Glasgow. He is over 800 in Birmingham. And then

:12:00. > :12:05.the women's 60. We have seen Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce the Olympic

:12:05. > :12:08.chal over 100 go through comfortably. She will face a tough

:12:08. > :12:16.charge from Murielle Ahoure in the final. Then to finish it off Mo

:12:16. > :12:22.Farah at about 4.15 in the 3,000 metre, starting his 2013 season.

:12:22. > :12:26.Here are the timings. So again, you can organise your afternoon.

:12:26. > :12:31.Lawrence Clarke he was fourth in the Olympic final. He is going in

:12:31. > :12:39.the hurdles finals later on. Next on track it will be the men's 1500

:12:39. > :12:49.metres and make sure you are in for the 3,000 metres. The men's 1500

:12:49. > :12:52.bring us up-to-date with the full qie qualifying list for the women's

:12:52. > :12:56.final. Yes, Carmelita Jeter goes through. Along with Mariya Ryemyen,

:12:56. > :12:59.two big napes go through as the fastest losers so we will have that

:12:59. > :13:08.rematch of the rivalry between Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and

:13:08. > :13:12.Carmelita Jeter in the final. to come up later and the men's 60

:13:12. > :13:16.metre final. But to the middle distance, the men's 1500 metre, a

:13:17. > :13:20.good race in store. Lots of new British talent. Charlie Grice,

:13:20. > :13:30.Matthew Mclaughlin, trying to make the team for the European

:13:30. > :13:30.

:13:30. > :13:36.Championships and then some more famous names. Birgen and Iguider

:13:36. > :13:41.you might remember from the Olympic Games. Qualifying time is 3.42

:13:41. > :13:44.exactly. Matthew Mclaughlin fell at the UK Championship, we will go

:13:44. > :13:50.along here. Kipcoech will be given the task of setting the pace. That

:13:50. > :13:55.is why he looks relaxed. Iguider, had a pretty good games in London.

:13:55. > :14:02.Remember him in the 5,000 metres, he looked dangerous with 200 metres

:14:02. > :14:12.to go. He couldn't catch Mo Farah, thank goodness. Teshome Dirisa is

:14:12. > :14:19.

:14:19. > :14:24.is a new name. Mekonnen Gebremedhin is not in such good form as we

:14:24. > :14:28.might expect. Andreas Vojta was in a big race last week. Chris

:14:28. > :14:34.Warburton was disqualified at the trials so Chris hoping that he can

:14:34. > :14:44.redeem himself here. With Matthew Mclaughlin. He is trying to make

:14:44. > :15:15.

:15:15. > :15:20.older statesman-like figure of fair, I suspect it will be slower

:15:20. > :15:25.than that. I think the question here is, a couple of the youngsters,

:15:25. > :15:29.can we get one of these youngsters into the team this year, Charlie

:15:29. > :15:35.Grice has a lot of talent, they have a lot of ability, a big day

:15:35. > :15:38.for them here. Absolutely, I would like to see them follow the pace a

:15:38. > :15:42.little bit, but that is not happening here. They will not

:15:42. > :15:50.finish as fast as some of the guys in here, so the need to commit

:15:50. > :15:56.early on and give them that every chance of running that the 342

:15:56. > :16:02.running tank. They are perfect pacemaking, that is so 3.3 it pace,

:16:02. > :16:12.and if you want to run inside 342 you have to get inside the race a

:16:12. > :16:15.

:16:15. > :16:20.little bit. The Brits have their mike, and then a bit of a gap here.

:16:20. > :16:28.All that is happening is it will slow perhaps a little at the front.

:16:28. > :16:31.A bit of a British race going on towards the rear. For they are

:16:31. > :16:41.getting a little closer, Paula. The yes, I think they need to put

:16:41. > :16:48.

:16:48. > :16:52.it on the line and ask some questions.

:16:53. > :16:57.Iguider Ran well in his last crews last week.

:16:57. > :17:07.There are the Brits at the back, police they are in contention know

:17:07. > :17:09.

:17:09. > :17:13.it is. Chris Warburton is back there. But at the front, Kipkoech,

:17:13. > :17:16.still doing their job, good solace pacemaking. The young Matthew

:17:16. > :17:22.McLaughlan is starting to trouble a little bit as the pacemaker steps

:17:22. > :17:26.aside. That is a shame to see bit cos he did do really well. It is

:17:26. > :17:31.still possible, they are giving themselves a good chance come it is

:17:31. > :17:35.just the same that Matt McLaughlan cannot stay with this. He had that

:17:35. > :17:39.British junior record a couple of weeks ago. He is struggling today,

:17:40. > :17:43.the youngster, he just has to knuckle down and keep going,

:17:43. > :17:53.perhaps the place is up to four gap -- up for grabs ahead of 10,

:17:53. > :17:58.

:17:58. > :18:08.Charlie Grice still in with a shoat, but at the front, Tahri, is just

:18:08. > :18:10.

:18:10. > :18:16.chalked undecided. It is good to see Lewandowski, he is there to

:18:16. > :18:24.make his position now. The police - - the pace has just slowed a little,

:18:24. > :18:32.he likes to control the pace from the front, attacked by a Iguider

:18:32. > :18:42.from the outside, he has hit the front hard. Lewandowski He, trying

:18:42. > :18:46.

:18:46. > :18:55.to get back on terms. Berigan is not be doing, and

:18:55. > :19:00.Iguider Lewandowski, takes third, a vast last lap, then you get the

:19:00. > :19:04.3.47. It will be interesting to see the times behind. 3.42 there is the

:19:04. > :19:08.time we're looking for for the British athletes. The winner has

:19:08. > :19:15.struck well at the right kind and just had enough to hold of the

:19:15. > :19:23.second place. It looked good and look smooth. I was watching the

:19:23. > :19:29.plot, trying to get an idea of what Charlie Grice might have run. He we

:19:29. > :19:32.have a run if -- and un official time for Chris Warburton at 3.41,

:19:32. > :19:42.with Charlie Grice behind. A good chance they may have qualified

:19:42. > :19:44.

:19:44. > :19:52.and this fast last lap, when you go to the European Championships it is

:19:52. > :20:01.being able to run at these fast last laps of a reasonable pace, and

:20:01. > :20:05.Iguider knows how to do that. Birgen Is so good indoors, he

:20:05. > :20:14.cannot even get close to the Kenyan team out goes, but in does he is

:20:14. > :20:18.very, very good. -- but indoors. We will get the result of that, but it

:20:18. > :20:28.may be that Chris Warburton and Charlie Grice are very close to the

:20:28. > :20:29.

:20:29. > :20:33.result of the long jump, Shara Proctor improving round by round,

:20:33. > :20:42.apart from one foul right in the middle of the competition, the

:20:42. > :20:49.longest jump in Great Britain this year, a season's best for her. A

:20:49. > :20:59.victory for Holly Bleasdale, two British athletes on good form. It

:20:59. > :21:03.

:21:03. > :21:07.was a boat face for Holly Bleasdale, was a boat face for Holly Bleasdale,

:21:07. > :21:17.beaten by Silva midweek. He Hollick, congratulations.

:21:17. > :21:21.The yes, I eat usually jump on 450 Poles, I thought I would try on 460

:21:21. > :21:28.today. I am so confident with them, I can jump much higher, it is good.

:21:28. > :21:37.You said you wanted to get too high for one up on -- you said you

:21:37. > :21:41.wanted to get 2-1 up on Silva, you have done that. Hopefully it will

:21:41. > :21:47.give me more confidence going to Gothenburg, maybe I can even win

:21:47. > :21:51.gold, I am so excited and loving it at the minute. That is great going,

:21:51. > :21:58.tremendous today. Thank you very much. Holly Bleasdale is looking

:21:58. > :22:03.forward to going to Gothenburg. Clarke, if he runs well here, will

:22:03. > :22:07.be hoping to go to Gothenburg, as well. He was fourth in the Olympic

:22:07. > :22:11.Games, he fell during a training session I was involved with, so he

:22:11. > :22:14.can play me a little for this. He is looking strong, he is running

:22:14. > :22:21.well, and if he does the right time I think he will definitely take his

:22:21. > :22:25.place in Gothenburg. We will see that race shortly, but that catch

:22:25. > :22:28.up with the official result of the up with the official result of the

:22:28. > :22:33.men's 1,500m. Yes, just to clear that up, a

:22:33. > :22:38.little further down from the winner, Chris Boardman and Charlie Grice,

:22:38. > :22:42.that is significant, they were trying for under 3.42 flat to push

:22:42. > :22:47.themselves for selection, they manage to do that, both running

:22:47. > :22:57.personal bests. They will wait to hear from the selectors, I am sure,

:22:57. > :23:05.

:23:05. > :23:11.glimpse of Clarke, who gained an unexpected medal in London. He will

:23:11. > :23:14.be in lane one. Orlando Ortega up in Scotty 2 Hotty. By wonder if

:23:14. > :23:24.Gianni Frankis can get the Gothenburg qualifying standard,

:23:24. > :23:27.

:23:27. > :23:37.very close in Sheffield last week. -- Orlando or take got up in lane

:23:37. > :23:56.

:23:56. > :24:02.Outside him, the Hungarian record holder, Daniel Kiss, the European

:24:02. > :24:08.bronze-medallist at three years ago. And there is Orlando Ortega, made

:24:08. > :24:14.the final of the Olympic Games in the 110 metres hurdles, a personal

:24:14. > :24:22.best in 13.09. A harder of the highest trouble -- calibre. As is

:24:22. > :24:28.the Russian record holder, quickest in the field, he ran 750 just a

:24:28. > :24:33.couple of weeks ago. And Gianni Frankis, 7.67 he ran in

:24:33. > :24:43.the heats in Sheffield, 7.6 wide is the UK Athletics Gothenburg

:24:43. > :24:43.

:24:43. > :25:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:25:59. > :26:07.line-up at 32, Ryan Wilson is in will wait with some expectation

:26:07. > :26:11.that time that or landlord Tedder has, he is safely through,

:26:11. > :26:15.certainly come up laying down a marker. Lawrence Clarke is

:26:15. > :26:19.wondering where he is finished, he has not quite sure. When you are in

:26:19. > :26:25.the first lane everyone is to your right. Orlando Ortega is looking

:26:25. > :26:29.very strong indeed. Lots of false starts today, so you can imagine

:26:29. > :26:34.all these toddlers are very anxious, but they have been get to that

:26:34. > :26:43.first hurdle quickly. Gianni Frankis got a really great start,

:26:43. > :26:48.led at this world-class field for the first three hurdles. Has the

:26:48. > :26:54.first three are the fastest three. Watch this again, all of them

:26:54. > :27:00.aggressive, strong, hard, right into that first hurdle. Orlando

:27:00. > :27:07.Ortega, beautifully fluent, -- beautifully fluid. We expect that

:27:08. > :27:14.from the Cubans, they are very well-drilled, great tacticians,,

:27:14. > :27:20.and the fastest three come through. And confirmation of the results,

:27:20. > :27:25.Orlando Ortega with a personal best, 7.54, pretty quick.

:27:25. > :27:33.Gianni Frankis will have to wait, 7.75, one tenth of a second outside

:27:33. > :27:37.of the qualifying standard for A Andrew mentioned the European

:27:37. > :27:41.indoor championships, that is March 1st, second and third, a cross the

:27:49. > :27:59.more far it is doing have of that, Sunday 21st April from 8:30am. --

:27:59. > :28:01.

:28:01. > :28:10.The next heat of the men's 60m hurdles is coming up shortly, after

:28:10. > :28:14.that we have the women's 1,500m. Hannah England, great to see you

:28:14. > :28:18.here, getting ready for the big race. What emotions are you going

:28:18. > :28:23.through now? It is nice to be down here, it

:28:23. > :28:27.feels -- feels familiar, I do this every year, it feels like you get

:28:27. > :28:32.here and it is time for business. What kind of shape argue in? Pretty

:28:32. > :28:37.good, I have been intended for a month, so that is always fun and

:28:37. > :28:40.get me in good shape ready for the whole dear. What do you look to get

:28:40. > :28:45.rid of the race today? Just enjoy competing, it is important to stay

:28:45. > :28:50.in touch with that, get a marker of where I am at and information to

:28:50. > :28:54.move on with. Call the best for the race, we will see you later.

:28:54. > :29:04.That is coming up later, but back onto the track for the second heat

:29:04. > :29:40.

:29:40. > :29:44.I'll ask Colin what is going on with Robles Mr, he represents Cuba

:29:44. > :29:49.in it lane two. He says he is not going to run any more, he has

:29:49. > :29:51.retired? And he has had a little problem with the federation, he has

:29:51. > :29:56.been seeing he has not been respected back then, so he is

:29:56. > :30:02.feeling quite aggrieved at the moment. It would be a bit of a

:30:02. > :30:12.shame for us, though. This could be the man to step

:30:12. > :30:13.

:30:13. > :30:20.Yordan O'Farrill, into his shoes, and Barrett Nugent of the United

:30:20. > :30:27.States, champion two years ago. Then Kevin Craddock, very good form

:30:27. > :30:37.in Dusseldorf, he came second to the man in the next lane alongside

:30:37. > :30:50.

:30:50. > :31:00.He has only been beaten by cod dock in that race in Dusseldorf. --

:31:00. > :31:31.

:31:31. > :31:40.then' long side him Ben kel bg. Chance to look at this young Cuban

:31:40. > :31:47.here. Just to remind you that first heat won by Orlando Ortega. What is

:31:47. > :31:57.it with Cubans and hurdling? O'Farrell is in two but he has two

:31:57. > :31:58.

:31:58. > :32:03.good American, Craddock and Omo Osaghae in lanes four and five.

:32:03. > :32:13.Looks like he hasn't left school, yet, doesn't he? Good hurdler

:32:13. > :32:16.

:32:16. > :32:22.get a good start. It might be that Helge Schwarzer had a false start.

:32:22. > :32:27.I think it was Helge Schwarzer in lane one, by my eyes. How good are

:32:27. > :32:35.your eyes, Steve? At this Danes not bad! Let us have a look. Top, lane

:32:35. > :32:40.one. That is hard toical. It is hard toical. Maybe because the guy

:32:40. > :32:44.was slow calling it. On the computer it does say Helge

:32:44. > :32:49.Schwarzer, lane one, as well. won't argue with the computer.

:32:49. > :32:53.I would argue with me but not the computer. Let us see this. This is

:32:54. > :32:58.what we are seeing, so you get an idea, we have the computer as well

:32:58. > :33:04.to back this up. It takes a while to come through. That minus means

:33:04. > :33:09.he's was a tenth of a second before the gun went. The others reacted

:33:10. > :33:14.after the gun. It was really tight, though. If he went tenth of a

:33:15. > :33:23.second before the gone went he was still slow at the blocks. He still

:33:23. > :33:28.reacted, right. There you go, he is upset. He saying the block slipped.

:33:28. > :33:33.You know you can argue all you want, once you are shown that card, it is

:33:33. > :33:38.time to walk. He will try and hold it, he will try and persuade them,

:33:38. > :33:41.but they will not listen. He will have to step off the track shortly.

:33:41. > :33:48.There was a time you could run under protest. That doesn't happen

:33:48. > :33:51.now. If he thinks the blocks slipped he should have said

:33:51. > :33:56.straight away, but to then wait until they come up to you and show

:33:56. > :34:01.you the red card, sorry the black and red card, he is disqualified,

:34:01. > :34:08.and then he is suggesting, I think that the blocks slipped. I am not

:34:08. > :34:13.going to -- I am not sure that is going to wash. Lane one. Well he is

:34:13. > :34:16.in a holding position. I can't see any real problem. His back leg is

:34:16. > :34:25.twitching already. I think he should just walk. There you go, he

:34:25. > :34:30.is off. There was movement, and that is registered on the starting

:34:30. > :34:39.block, which are very sensitive. As soon as you put a bit of weight on

:34:39. > :34:44.there it is registered. So he goes. So it will be Yordan O'Farrill, the

:34:44. > :34:50.world junior champion, in lane two. We have Barrett Nugent. Kevin

:34:50. > :34:56.Craddock and Omo Osaghae. Alan Scott, Tyrone Akins and Ben Kelk.

:34:56. > :35:00.First three to go through, and two fastest times, the two fastest

:35:01. > :35:10.losers from heat one, Gianni Frankis and Ryan Will so son. --

:35:11. > :35:22.

:35:22. > :35:27.Osaghae not such a good start. Alan Scott is running a good race. Scott

:35:28. > :35:31.might have dipped for second and Nugent possibly third. We will let

:35:31. > :35:34.the photo finish sort that out really disappointing in the end

:35:34. > :35:38.from Craddock. I don't know what happened to him, ranked joint

:35:38. > :35:43.number one in the world. This guy was good enough, after not such a

:35:43. > :35:47.good start, but good to see Alan Scott doing well. It is nice to see

:35:47. > :35:52.the return of Alan Scott. We wondered what was happening with

:35:52. > :35:56.him. Remember he has run 7.52. At his best he would be up with the

:35:56. > :36:01.world leaders at this moment in time. It was a good solid

:36:01. > :36:05.performance. Omo Osaghae looked good to take the heat. Let us look

:36:05. > :36:09.at these athletes. Alan Scott eh aggressive out of the blocks. A

:36:09. > :36:14.quick reactions, getting down as quickly as he can with stride

:36:14. > :36:20.length. Driving off every single hurdle. But Omo Osaghae, a bit more,

:36:20. > :36:25.more racing in him allows him to pull away. Take the win. Look at

:36:25. > :36:31.Alan Scott, confirming he is in the final. Second place. Let us have a

:36:31. > :36:35.look. P all driving out the blocks. If you look at the left leg, of

:36:35. > :36:42.Craddock. Looks like he has a bit of strapping on there, that is why

:36:42. > :36:45.he could be struggling. But Omo Osaghae, lots of running, looking

:36:45. > :36:50.confident. Quite an untidy hurdler, but it is effective. That is all

:36:50. > :36:56.that matters. Get to the line first and get there quickly. Very tight

:36:56. > :37:00.for the lesser places, but good run from Alan Scott there, 7.75, taking

:37:00. > :37:05.advantage of one or two others not running so well. Nugent also going

:37:05. > :37:15.through, it will mean that O'Farrell with that 7.76 will join

:37:15. > :37:17.

:37:17. > :37:24.Gianni Frankis as the two fastest losers in the final. That race at

:37:24. > :37:30.about 4.50. The men's high jumpers are out. -- 4.05. The Olympic

:37:30. > :37:33.champion is up against our man of the moment, Robbie Grabarz. Robbie

:37:33. > :37:36.the moment, Robbie Grabarz. Robbie Grabarz can get this. This stadium

:37:36. > :37:42.is going to go crazy. This is a brilliant performance from the

:37:42. > :37:51.Russian. He could be rewriting the history books today and he has

:37:51. > :37:59.found his form! What a jump. It is bronze for Britain. A bronze for

:37:59. > :38:01.Robbie Grabarz and UK -- Ivan Ukhov is the Olympic champion. Robbie,

:38:01. > :38:07.renew old rivalries today, Ivan Ukhov first at the Olympic, you

:38:07. > :38:11.were third and I think is one of of those rivalrys fans relish, what

:38:11. > :38:16.about you? I am the same I know he is looking forward to jumping

:38:16. > :38:22.against himism can't wait to jump against him. There is a Russian guy

:38:22. > :38:26.jumping higher than both of us so it is exciting. What has he got

:38:26. > :38:31.that brings out the best in you. makes it great fun to be out on the

:38:31. > :38:36.field. Is there a great cameraderie round the high jumper, the mutual

:38:36. > :38:41.respect for you and what you put into it. Spefrblly as we we are out

:38:41. > :38:48.there for a long time. Even though I don't speak Russian you can get a

:38:48. > :38:51.long with these guys and have a laugh. We often talked about Robbie

:38:51. > :38:56.Grabarz and his love of the big occasion, up against the Olympic

:38:56. > :39:00.champion today is perfect for him. He is in his element. It is a local

:39:00. > :39:04.crowd, a home crowd that, will really get up for this, you know,

:39:04. > :39:09.it is going to be a great head-to- head. Robbie is the man of the

:39:09. > :39:13.moment. He is full of confidence, and loves his jumping. He is in a

:39:13. > :39:18.real groove and has been throughout last season. Let us see how he gets

:39:18. > :39:24.on. He is talking about jumping big heights, he tried it last week in

:39:24. > :39:27.Sheffield. He cease his sights firmly set on 2.40. He is

:39:27. > :39:32.consistent and that is the first thing you need in high jumping.

:39:32. > :39:36.will see that shortly. Next up on track it is the women's 1500 metres.

:39:36. > :39:46.Hard work and dedication important in this vent, but as is the right

:39:46. > :39:56.

:39:56. > :40:04.This time it's the young one, Genzebe Dibaba stretching out like

:40:04. > :40:08.a tree 1500 metre runner. A domnand run. A real superb demonstration.

:40:08. > :40:17.This could be the new name over the next two or three years. Genzebe

:40:17. > :40:21.Dibaba. Genzebe Dibaba in fan it is a --tastic form on the track and in

:40:21. > :40:24.the cross-country. Go up to the commentary box with Paula Radcliffe,

:40:24. > :40:29.and what do you make of Genzebe Dibaba. She has the right surname

:40:29. > :40:33.for a start. She has. The interesting story, to why she is

:40:33. > :40:39.racing over 1500 metres, the way Haile Gebrselassie will tell us, he

:40:40. > :40:43.saw her working nowt the gym. Saw she has quad strength, so said why

:40:43. > :40:50.don't you try the 1500 metres, she has taken it from there. Suits her

:40:50. > :40:59.because she doesn't have to follow in her sisters' foot centre she can

:40:59. > :41:04.Blaize her own trail in another distance. Just a quick question on

:41:04. > :41:08.her sister, stepping up to the marathon in April in. Yes, making

:41:08. > :41:12.her debut there that, will be exciting to see. She has taken a

:41:12. > :41:16.slightly different approach to the traditional debut marathon approach,

:41:16. > :41:23.by raising indoors this season. Heng neng this one as well, so over

:41:23. > :41:27.to you. Hannah England in this one as well. So over to you. What would

:41:27. > :41:37.a meeting be without an assault on a meeting be without an assault on

:41:37. > :41:41.

:41:41. > :41:51.a world record? That isst goal for Genzebe Dibaba. -- is the goal. The

:41:51. > :41:53.

:41:53. > :42:00.first sighting this year of Hannah England. There is Elena Mirela

:42:00. > :42:06.Lavric, 800 metres specialist. She has been asked to take them out to

:42:06. > :42:12.600, 800 metres. There is Genzebe Dibaba, the reigning champion from

:42:12. > :42:19.that Ethopian running clan. The youngest of three sisters. Tizita

:42:19. > :42:23.Bogale, the world junior champion in 2010. Also in there, Elina Sujew,

:42:23. > :42:33.and Hannah England. Always smiling and she will get a very warm

:42:33. > :42:38.

:42:38. > :42:45.welcome. Starting 2013 after a 2012 she might be glad to put behind her.

:42:45. > :42:50.There is Diana Sujew, the other of the two twins. Twins Ofcom in twos!

:42:50. > :42:56.Hillsborough, a class athlete and Treniere Moser -- Siham Hilali.

:42:56. > :43:00.Melissa Courtney third in Sheffield. Rosie Clarke, second in Sheffield

:43:00. > :43:04.last weekend, behind Laura Muir. Interesting what kind of race,

:43:04. > :43:11.within a race. What do people like Hannah England do? Do you think

:43:11. > :43:16.about going with, with Genzebe Dibaba? We will see. Genzebe Dibaba

:43:16. > :43:21.is a class apart, ahead of most of the athletes in here, how will this

:43:21. > :43:27.unfold? It will be interesting to see can the pacemaker set the pace

:43:27. > :43:31.and hold it to 800 metres, because it is not easy indoor, and if she,

:43:31. > :43:36.Genzebe Dibaba goes with her we will see two races, and we have

:43:36. > :43:40.seen it split here a bit already. A big chance for some girls to run

:43:40. > :43:44.fast times butter, here interesting to see does Genzebe Dibaba have the

:43:44. > :43:49.shape to go with the pace and hold it on her own after. She is going

:43:49. > :43:53.with the pace, sometimes as we were seeing in the men's race, the

:43:53. > :44:00.pacemaker is left out, hanging out there, but Elena Mirela Lavric

:44:00. > :44:05.taking them through. A clear, when the world record was set, went

:44:06. > :44:15.through 400 in 63.1, strung out already into almost four separate

:44:16. > :44:16.

:44:16. > :44:20.groups there. You can see the 400 metre split. Maybe ahead of what

:44:20. > :44:25.was asked for. Shaping up to run well. She is starting to move wide

:44:25. > :44:29.already, which might indicate she might not be going the full

:44:29. > :44:37.distance. Hannah England is at the back of that final group. So a long

:44:37. > :44:42.way behind the pace setters at the moment. Lavric taking them about on

:44:42. > :44:49.pace. That was a bit slower against Genzebe Dibaba. With her at the

:44:49. > :44:54.moment. Unfortunately Hannah went through 400 in about 69 seconds

:44:54. > :45:00.there so not as sharp as she would want to be. She was a bit late

:45:00. > :45:04.getting into her winter training. Got married and went out to Kenya.

:45:04. > :45:10.Sometimes a bit unpredictable to come back and race straight away.

:45:10. > :45:14.So as we expected, it will be Genzebe Dibaba who is with the

:45:14. > :45:24.pacemaker. Alongside her Siham Hilali t Moroccan who has an

:45:24. > :45:36.

:45:36. > :45:46.definitely starting to struggle now, working a lot harder than Denise

:45:46. > :45:49.

:45:49. > :45:53.really struggling. This will be a good chance for Rosie Clarke and

:45:53. > :45:59.Melissa Courtney to maybe run faster, aged under that qualifying

:46:00. > :46:09.time and make a personal best. -- edge under that qualifying time.

:46:10. > :46:10.

:46:10. > :46:17.The gap widens, Genzebe Dibaba devours that ground, Hilali but

:46:17. > :46:22.distant second now. There at the back, struggling, Hannah England.

:46:22. > :46:30.There was a run of a track, races within the race here, but hers is a

:46:30. > :46:35.solitary pursuit here, the roars of the crowd are her only companions.

:46:35. > :46:41.She is just inside the mark set in 2006.

:46:41. > :46:45.She can really attack the world record here, she can finish faster

:46:45. > :46:55.than anyone could do come and she does not seem to be tiring. This is

:46:55. > :46:55.

:46:55. > :47:00.going to be really exciting. She is fully 50m clear. Alongside her,

:47:00. > :47:04.Hilali he all the way back down there, but it is all about Genzebe

:47:04. > :47:11.Dibaba. And she is tiring as she comes into the home straight, but

:47:11. > :47:14.the roars will lift tower, chasing down that record. -- will lift her.

:47:14. > :47:24.Just inside that world record, the victory is her, she wanted so much

:47:24. > :47:34.more, Hilali is second, and that wins come through from Germany. It

:47:34. > :47:43.

:47:43. > :47:50.is a UK all-comers record, just that 800m on your own. She just

:47:50. > :47:55.tired a little bit, but I think that is definitely possible. Well,

:47:55. > :48:02.she missed out on the 1,500m in the Olympics with a hamstring injury,

:48:02. > :48:10.but great things to come in the world championships later on. He

:48:10. > :48:14.that is a new UK all-comers record. Hannah England, 4.14, thereabouts,

:48:14. > :48:20.for Hannah England. She will be back and improving throughout the

:48:20. > :48:24.season. A great win for Genzebe Dibaba, if not the world record. It

:48:24. > :48:31.to have a look at her last lap, at this point she was on schedule to

:48:32. > :48:34.take the world record. I thought she was going to do it. Usually

:48:34. > :48:40.that is the fastest part of the race, she looked as though she

:48:40. > :48:44.still has it in her legs, but she just does not have quite the pop

:48:44. > :48:53.she had earlier on and is almost leaning back a little bit, just

:48:53. > :48:57.gritting her teeth and cannot some of quite enough. -- summon up.

:48:57. > :49:06.Victory, but no world record, Hannah England is now talking to

:49:06. > :49:13.And that, you wanted to get something from that, how did that

:49:13. > :49:18.call? OK, I felt a bit ill in my last week in training in Kenya, so

:49:18. > :49:24.I had not done anything for a week, so felt a bit rusty. But it was fun

:49:25. > :49:29.to compete and get warming up. Obviously it is a big here, you won

:49:29. > :49:32.that world silver medal, and it is good to get the juices flowing.

:49:32. > :49:37.Absolutely, I had something to prove that I did not do last year

:49:37. > :49:41.with injury. I am fully focused on that outdoor season.

:49:41. > :49:46.As a fellow athlete, what tribute would you pay to Genzebe Dibaba one

:49:47. > :49:56.missing that world record? It is great, she always comes out and

:49:57. > :49:57.

:49:57. > :50:02.races hard. I hope to give her a finished in that women's 1,500m,

:50:02. > :50:08.Genzebe Dibaba on a class of her own, and all-comers record trust

:50:08. > :50:18.outside of the four minute mark. Elina Sujew and Diana Sujew taking

:50:18. > :50:22.

:50:22. > :50:29.their planes record there. -- Twins field is the men's high jump, led

:50:29. > :50:39.by Great Britain's Robbie Grabarz. He has some very good at Russians

:50:39. > :50:41.

:50:41. > :50:46.there, Dmitrik, who beat him in Glasgow, and give Ivan Ukhov, who

:50:46. > :50:56.jumped a hate to Robbie Grabarz can only aspire to at a moment. --

:50:56. > :51:15.

:51:15. > :51:23.that would be very simple for him. There is a Ivan Ukhov will stop --

:51:23. > :51:33.there is Ivan Ukhov. Robbie Grabarz is passing on this and will come in

:51:33. > :51:37.

:51:38. > :51:42.athletes ready to go in the men's 60m final, a no Dwain Chambers, no

:51:42. > :51:46.Lerone Clarke, second fastest in the world this year, he was out of

:51:46. > :51:56.sorts and had an injury problem, he did not make it through. It is

:51:56. > :52:12.

:52:12. > :52:16.these eight men contesting the qualified to go to the European

:52:16. > :52:24.Indoor Championships, he was second in the UKs and his outdoor time

:52:24. > :52:30.from last year qualifies him. Still looking for a really good fast time

:52:30. > :52:40.endorsed. Greg Cackett is having a good season. He has a little work

:52:40. > :52:42.

:52:42. > :52:52.to do, he has to run 6.602 even in trust the selectors. -- he has to

:52:52. > :52:54.

:52:55. > :52:59.run 6.602 even interest the Collins, who after spending a night

:52:59. > :53:04.with his wife during the Olympics Games, he's -- his team remarkably

:53:04. > :53:10.decided he was not allowed to run. A former world champion, he is in

:53:10. > :53:20.four next to Mike Rodgers, a very good indoors exponent. 60m is

:53:20. > :53:25.

:53:25. > :53:32.probably his best distance. There is no Rion Pierre. His lane is

:53:32. > :53:39.empty. Nesta Carter, Montego Bay was his last race, a bit of a

:53:39. > :53:49.change to Birmingham. The surprise package, Lucas Jakubczyk, taking

:53:49. > :54:01.

:54:01. > :54:04.advantage of the poor form of Dwain certainly gives the likes of

:54:04. > :54:10.Collins and Rogers a big opportunity. They raced each other

:54:10. > :54:20.in France last week, and Rogers just came out on top, just pipped

:54:20. > :54:32.

:54:32. > :54:38.Kim Collins in a race where Harry the middle. Mr Carter almost gets

:54:38. > :54:44.it, but Rogers takes it, his quickest time of the year, 6.52, a

:54:45. > :54:49.good run from Rogers, came under pressure in the latter stages from

:54:49. > :54:54.Nesta Carter, the Jamaican must bet -- much better from what we saw in

:54:54. > :55:03.the heats. Maybe he needed a rest, Mr Parker, because he was much

:55:03. > :55:11.sharper. -- Nesta Carter. In the arena, Colin Jackson, you would

:55:11. > :55:16.have been watching that. What a start it was! He really exploded,

:55:16. > :55:20.put his feet on the floor, he is assured man so he has a pitter-

:55:20. > :55:24.patter his stride length, and he kept working all the way through,

:55:24. > :55:30.Great running from him. He was under a lot of pressure from

:55:30. > :55:37.everyone around him. A lot of expectation, Nesta Carter has -- is

:55:37. > :55:41.a quality winner. But this man, Mike Rodgers, upload -- proved why

:55:41. > :55:47.he is one of the fastest in the world. He got into his running

:55:47. > :55:57.nicely and stole that victory in a very good time indeed. Now he is

:55:57. > :55:58.

:55:58. > :56:03.You can see your time, 6.53, that made good watching. Yes, it made

:56:04. > :56:07.good watching, a season best, I am very happy. I did not get a chance

:56:07. > :56:14.to come back last year to Birmingham to defend my title, it

:56:14. > :56:18.is four in a row for me. What is it that motivates you you on your?

:56:18. > :56:23.just to get on the podium, that is everything you need. My family, my

:56:23. > :56:28.coach, friend, agents, everything. This is a great start of to the

:56:28. > :56:37.season, one of the building blocks projecting forward to Moscow.

:56:37. > :56:41.it is, and I hope to see you there. Well done today. Thank you.

:56:41. > :56:49.Well done today. Thank you. So, Mike Rodgers with a good win,

:56:49. > :56:56.6153, a season best. Carter, a good performance by him, 6.56. Greg

:56:56. > :56:59.Cackett, just 100th outside of his personal best with 6.66, and a

:56:59. > :57:09.rather disappointing run from Harry Aikines-Aryeetey back in seventh

:57:09. > :57:12.

:57:12. > :57:18.Oni, long-time British international, very comfortable. I

:57:18. > :57:22.have always thought when this guy jumps well, he really is in great

:57:23. > :57:29.form, and that is when the big jumps come. When his form

:57:29. > :57:35.disappears, the technique, the subtle technique that he has got in

:57:35. > :57:45.abundance. When it stays, he really is terrific. Compart and -- Tom

:57:45. > :57:48.

:57:48. > :57:55.Parsons, only 2.15, he will want to for Tom pastors, especially when

:57:55. > :58:05.you consider he is a 2.31 performer at best. His best this year, only

:58:05. > :58:15.

:58:15. > :58:24.2.15, I just like the way he absolutely sprint up to the bar on

:58:25. > :58:28.the curve and his take-off is always precise. 2.20, second of the

:58:28. > :58:35.two jumps he has achieved, and they have both been perfect so far. Here

:58:35. > :58:45.is the champion, a van YouGov. That is uncharacteristic from the great

:58:45. > :58:52.

:58:52. > :58:57.life now, Robbie Grabarz takes the stage. 2.20 is his first height,

:58:57. > :59:02.and he is well clear. I was watching him warming up earlier on,

:59:02. > :59:12.he looked so, so sharp. I just wonder whether we might be on for

:59:12. > :59:22.Still looks to come from Robbie Grabarz and the women's 60 front --

:59:22. > :59:32.

:59:32. > :59:42.And of course, Mo Farah finishing it off at about 4:15pm and the

:59:42. > :59:46.On the track it is the women's 3,000 metres, Helen Clitheroe is on

:59:46. > :59:50.that. She is doing a marathon in April, this will be a little faster.

:59:50. > :59:54.She has been chatting with Phil Jones.

:59:54. > :59:58.Helen, what feelings are you going through a in preparations? It is

:59:58. > :00:02.always good to get here, because you get your own race head on as

:00:02. > :00:06.soon as you get into this part of the race day, so it is good to get

:00:06. > :00:11.you a little before my race to take it all in and chill out a bit

:00:11. > :00:15.before I start warming up. I am excited to get back into racing

:00:15. > :00:19.after a rubbish here at last year. That is good to be in this position

:00:19. > :00:23.and this environment again. We will never forget that magical moment in

:00:23. > :00:28.Paris when you won the gold medal at the European indoors. Are you

:00:28. > :00:32.looking to defend that title? not sure, I am actually preparing

:00:32. > :00:37.for the London Marathon, this is an added bonus to the schedule. The

:00:37. > :00:42.3,000 metres was only added at a later date, so I am really excited

:00:42. > :00:47.to be racing indoors and see how I can do. What is just coming back

:00:48. > :00:51.from an injury, really, I will see what happens, then I am doing a

:00:51. > :00:55.half-marathon next weekend, so it is one extreme to the other! It is

:00:55. > :00:59.a road running all the way, really come if you did well today but you

:00:59. > :01:04.consider Gothenburg? I have not discussed that with my coach, we

:01:04. > :01:10.did not plan on doing any indoor races. The plan is to stick on for

:01:10. > :01:15.roads for a little bit into nearly spring. It is an unexpected bonus

:01:15. > :01:20.for us, I hope we will enjoy it and you do, too.

:01:20. > :01:30.I am fascinated to see what Paula and Steve Cram have to say about

:01:30. > :01:31.

:01:31. > :01:35.she would maybe like a little pace, she is getting on a bit now come

:01:35. > :01:39.and she would not mind me saying that. She was out in Kenya with Mo

:01:40. > :01:44.Farah and the rest of the team and was doing very well, she is 39

:01:44. > :01:48.years old but it still has a good turn of foot when required. A good

:01:49. > :01:54.opportunity for her to show what shape she is in here. Watch out for

:01:54. > :02:00.Jessica Judd, Lauren Howarth that the UK champion, and a wish McColl,

:02:00. > :02:10.-- Eilish McColgan, as well, her first running to endorse. A good

:02:10. > :02:22.

:02:22. > :02:29.opportunity to gauge where some of this year. Ran 8.56 at the

:02:29. > :02:36.Championships. Ancuta Bobocel, a familiar figure. Jessica Judd, just

:02:36. > :02:41.18. Nancy Chepkwemoi. Saw her running in Glasgow two or three

:02:41. > :02:45.weeks' ago. Helen, she is running a half marathon next week. This was a

:02:45. > :02:49.late addition to the programme. There was a men's 5,000 until a

:02:49. > :02:55.week or soing a. This was put together in the last week or so and

:02:55. > :03:00.Helen has taken the opportunity, as has Eilish McColgan, to see how

:03:00. > :03:06.they have come off that stint of training in Kenya. Eilidh, of

:03:06. > :03:13.course, had that horrific foot injury in 2011 n the water jump at

:03:13. > :03:18.Crystal Palace and did well last year. Helen was saying I am done

:03:18. > :03:24.with the steeplechase now. Looking forward to seeing what she can do

:03:24. > :03:28.here today. As we said, look forward to seeing Helen running in

:03:28. > :03:38.the same half marathon as Mo Farah is running in. If that goes well we

:03:38. > :03:41.will see Helen in the London Marathon. Helen Clitheroe against

:03:41. > :03:46.Genzebe Dibaba. From one extreme to the other. She is seeing whether

:03:46. > :03:54.she likes the marathon and whether she has any talent to take it

:03:54. > :03:59.further. Dibah is going through with more experience. -- Dibaba.

:03:59. > :04:02.The marathon is not too back-to- back half marathon, but at the same

:04:02. > :04:06.time it is something every distance runner wants to try at some point.

:04:06. > :04:11.What we will see from Helen here, she has trained well in Kenya and

:04:11. > :04:16.had that strength there. She will be able to maintain a good level of

:04:16. > :04:21.pace. She may not have the same scintillating pace she used to v

:04:21. > :04:26.but she will be able to maintain and handle an 8.50 pace. That is

:04:26. > :04:32.what she is looking for here. She wants the Russian to set a good

:04:32. > :04:37.pace. She has done well here. She was looking for 70 seconds. So that

:04:37. > :04:41.is good for everyone in this race. The likes of Lauren Howarth. He

:04:41. > :04:46.will hope to get taken round to a good past pace. Watching Helen

:04:46. > :04:50.training in Kenya, she was right on top of her game. I am not sure I

:04:50. > :04:54.have seen her looking as good as that. It is not the same to

:04:54. > :04:59.transfer training into racing, she was targeting the half marathon,

:04:59. > :05:05.but the others there with her, including Hannah England, Eilidh

:05:05. > :05:11.and others, they were all watching Helen with eau almost. 39 -year-

:05:11. > :05:15.olds of agele full of experience and enthusiasm. But in very good

:05:15. > :05:20.form. -- age. I think Helen is in her element out in Kenya. She

:05:20. > :05:24.thrives on the environment there, she knows the session, she knows

:05:24. > :05:28.where she would go to run the hill sessions, the track sex, she has

:05:28. > :05:33.been able to incorporate the hiring mileage and longer runs with

:05:33. > :05:37.keeping the sessions going and at the same level she was in previous

:05:37. > :05:41.years when her legs were fresh. I am excited the see Jessica Judd on

:05:41. > :05:47.here. Someone who add 18 is here to have fun, have experience. She is

:05:47. > :05:51.not afraid to get in there, go with it and to mix it. She led most of

:05:51. > :05:55.the trials. I think then, Lauren Howarth came past her to the end

:05:55. > :05:59.and surprised herself with how fast she ran. I think both have the

:05:59. > :06:04.capability of getting the qualifying standard for Gothenburg

:06:04. > :06:10.in the right race. There is Judd tucked in behind Ancuta Bobocel who

:06:10. > :06:15.is wearing a nice bow in her hair! Eilish McColgan running behind

:06:15. > :06:21.Jessica Judd. It will be interesting to see how they go.

:06:21. > :06:31.Still got ten laps to go. On the inside women's triple jump. Running

:06:31. > :06:32.

:06:32. > :06:42.the opposite way to the runners who are doing the lap races. Yamile

:06:42. > :06:48.Aldama. British number one. Her target 13.73 by Trecia-Kaye Smith

:06:48. > :06:53.of Jamaica. Not a bad start for Yamile Aldama. She is yet to go

:06:53. > :07:03.over 14 metres this year. Coincidentally, both of these

:07:03. > :07:04.

:07:04. > :07:08.ladies are coached by Frank at toe in north London. -- Attoe. They

:07:08. > :07:16.have been great friend, such as the dynamic of the competition and the

:07:16. > :07:26.training group. Which is not a bad thing. Has she taken the lead? Yes,

:07:26. > :07:27.

:07:27. > :07:31.that first round t pacemaker has stepped aside and left Helen

:07:31. > :07:37.Clitheroe out in front. They went through the first kilometre slower

:07:37. > :07:45.than they wanted to, so Helen has the job of keeping this pace going.

:07:45. > :07:51.Lauren Howarth tucked in behind her. That is Channel Island. Ancuta

:07:51. > :07:57.Bobocel then Jessica Judd in a good position. Enjoying the sort of pace

:07:57. > :08:01.she will hope gets her to mine minutes. But Helen, how many times

:08:01. > :08:10.have we seen her. Paul la, we mentioned that interview, that

:08:10. > :08:14.great gold she won indoors, just reward for somebody who has such a

:08:14. > :08:21.good athlete. A huge reward. You have to remember that Helen has

:08:21. > :08:26.been racing at a top level since Seville probably in 1999 but

:08:26. > :08:30.deferly since Sydney in 2000. Up to the steeplechase, back to 1500

:08:30. > :08:37.metres and to win that indoors was a huge boost to her,

:08:37. > :08:42.psychologically as well as for the boost it gave her in the sport.

:08:42. > :08:46.Well, Helen of course, in some of those distances, followed in the

:08:46. > :08:51.footsteps of Liz McColgan and Liz's daughter Eilidh, who has been

:08:51. > :08:55.excelling and showing she is getting better and improving.

:08:55. > :09:02.Impressed with the wane she was -- way she was training in Kenya. She

:09:02. > :09:10.was saying how much she enjoyed it. McColgan, enjoying the pace that

:09:10. > :09:15.has been set here. It is odd, isn't it that Helen's outdoor PB is

:09:15. > :09:22.slower than indoors. She ran indoors and hasn't done as fast

:09:22. > :09:28.outdoors. Before we talk about that let's get back to triple jump. Well,

:09:28. > :09:32.we have had Yamile Aldama jump out 13.91 in the first round, but in is

:09:33. > :09:38.a real class athlete. Olha Saladukha, of the Ukraine. World

:09:38. > :09:42.Champion in 2011 and twice the European champion. She really has

:09:42. > :09:47.been consistent over the last couple of years and a spectacular

:09:47. > :09:55.one as well, and that is long. That is the first jump we have seen over

:09:55. > :10:00.14 metres in this competition so far. I always feel if she could

:10:00. > :10:04.really maintain the momentum, and refine the technique a little bit

:10:04. > :10:12.there in the step phase, she could jump really long. Maybe into the

:10:12. > :10:19.history books. Nevertheless, she is a very fine athlete indeed. Leads

:10:20. > :10:26.the world ranks this year, 14.37 that, is a big lead already for the

:10:26. > :10:29.Ukrainian in the first round. In the 3,000 metres they come round

:10:29. > :10:33.with three laps to go. Lauren Howarth felt the pace slipping a

:10:33. > :10:38.bit. They went through two kilometres in that even pace, but

:10:38. > :10:42.now Helen Clitheroe has to wake up, and latches on to Lauren Howarth.

:10:42. > :10:48.Chelsea Reilly looking as though she is beginning to struggle a bit.

:10:48. > :10:55.It is good to see Lauren Howarth taking on Helen Clitheroe. It is

:10:55. > :11:01.good she is not afraid. Chelsea Reilly has rallied. She is almost

:11:01. > :11:05.smelling the finish. She only had two laps to go. Shaping into an

:11:05. > :11:10.interesting battle between Jessica Judd and Eilish McColgan as well.

:11:10. > :11:13.Both on good pace here and running strongly together. Yes, Eilidh and

:11:13. > :11:20.Jessica Judd further back, but still going well. Emily Stewart is

:11:20. > :11:24.running down Ancuta Bobocel in fourth, then there is these three.

:11:24. > :11:29.Chelsea Reilly with a gap. Does Helen Clitheroe have the pace in

:11:29. > :11:34.the legs. Running a half marathon next week. A marathon to come in

:11:34. > :11:38.April. Can she show the pace when she used to run 1500 metres to just

:11:38. > :11:43.over 40 minute -- 4 minutes. Howarth reel rice she is is there.

:11:43. > :11:47.Tries to put her under pressure. Doesn't want to give it away easily.

:11:47. > :11:51.But Helen is looming. On her shoulder, is she going to wait. She

:11:51. > :11:57.is going down the back straight. Look that the, Helen turning on the

:11:57. > :12:00.burners a bit. She still has pace to burn. Looks up at the screen.

:12:00. > :12:03.Almost a little smile as Helen Clitheroe returns to winning ways,

:12:03. > :12:08.there is is a good battle goes on for the lesser places but at the

:12:08. > :12:15.front, the crowd are loving this one, Helen Clitheroe, checks behind

:12:15. > :12:25.once more, it's a clear win, and a clear victory, 8.50 Lauren Howarth

:12:25. > :12:28.takes second. Ancuta Bobocel holds off for third. That is a good

:12:28. > :12:32.performance for Jessica Judd. At the other end of the age scale,

:12:32. > :12:37.sorry to keep talking about it Helen, 8.50 that is good, Paula,

:12:37. > :12:41.and a bit of pace at the end. impressive. And I think she enjoyed

:12:41. > :12:48.it. I think that meant a lot to her. As she said she had a rubbish year

:12:48. > :12:52.last year. She had a foot injury that meant she was unable to go to

:12:52. > :12:57.the Olympics. She had to take about three months off, completely do

:12:57. > :13:01.nothing, and has fought back, and got in a good block of training. I

:13:01. > :13:05.think she probably enjoyed the freshening up and will go on to New

:13:05. > :13:10.Orleans where she is racing in a half marathon, where Mo will be

:13:10. > :13:13.racing too. It will be interesting to see wa she can do there. Brave

:13:13. > :13:21.effort by Lauren Howarth but nothing she could do about Helen

:13:21. > :13:25.Clitheroe on that last 200 metres. She ran 4 .22 for the second 1500

:13:25. > :13:30.and most was in the last 3, 400 metres. Great to see Helen back,

:13:30. > :13:35.she is in good form. Let us wish her well, as she heads off to run

:13:35. > :13:41.the longer distances, wish her well on the roads. If this is anything

:13:41. > :13:43.to go by it should give her confidence a good boost. Good

:13:44. > :13:48.performances behind her from the likes of Eilish McColgan, who looks

:13:48. > :13:53.as if she is heading for personal best time. The youngsters doing

:13:54. > :13:59.well. But it was all about Helen Clitheroe today. A big smile, I

:13:59. > :14:06.wonder if she will be tempted to go back to Gothenburg for the European

:14:06. > :14:10.Indoors and defend her titleful she may have a quiet word with her

:14:10. > :14:13.may have a quiet word with her coach. We have managed to chase her

:14:13. > :14:18.down. Well done, great performance Than youfpblg Does this change your

:14:18. > :14:23.thinking for the Indoors? I am not committing myself. Probably not. I

:14:23. > :14:27.was speaking to my coach and just, I am just really thrilled to come

:14:27. > :14:32.out after such a hard time, like, pretty much three months off

:14:32. > :14:38.running, with my foot injury I had, trying to qualify for the Olympics,

:14:39. > :14:42.so to come back, run a good time, win a race, on my favourite indoor

:14:43. > :14:47.competition is brilliant. It's a pretime and it show what is a great

:14:47. > :14:51.all rounder you r you are aiming for a haar marathon and marathon it

:14:52. > :14:55.is good to see you have pace. nice to see I have pace in my legs.

:14:55. > :15:00.When Lauren went past I knew she was aiming for the time. I was a

:15:00. > :15:04.bit lacking in confidence, but I felt I had a kick in me. I felt I

:15:04. > :15:12.had pace. Thrilled with how I managed to kick away from the field.

:15:12. > :15:16.Tremendous performance and you deserve it. Well done Helen but you

:15:16. > :15:22.the only person in the race who didn't run a personal best. Look at

:15:22. > :15:27.that, that is remarkable. 8.50 good for Helen. A shame for Lauren

:15:27. > :15:37.Howarth, that is one second, one second outside of the qualifying

:15:37. > :15:48.

:15:48. > :15:54.of the Bahamas. That is one of the best jumps so far in the

:15:54. > :15:58.competition, and this is the man who became world champion in 2007

:15:58. > :16:03.just one year after he tried his very first competition in the sport.

:16:03. > :16:11.A remarkable talent. His first attempt looking good. Sometimes a

:16:11. > :16:16.little bit inconsistent in the technique. Aleksey Dmitrik now, the

:16:16. > :16:20.good Russian -- the very good Russian who already won in Glasgow

:16:20. > :16:30.earlier this year. And that is good, too. All of the big names are

:16:30. > :16:31.

:16:31. > :16:40.making steady progress through this height. Samson Oni has fielded once.

:16:40. > :16:45.-- has failed it wants. And here is the Olympic champion, Ivan Ukhov.

:16:45. > :16:52.2.25, he gets it. Looks a little scrappy, on Lake Robbie Grabarz to

:16:52. > :16:57.come in his first attempt at this height. -- only Robbie Grabarz. He

:16:57. > :17:00.always looks a little nervous before he jumps. It all contributes

:17:00. > :17:07.towards what we hope will be a magnificent effort here today, and

:17:07. > :17:17.he goes over it easily. He has only taken two jumps in the competition

:17:17. > :17:20.

:17:20. > :17:25.so far, they have both been We have moved down to the infield

:17:25. > :17:31.for the climax of the women's 60m final. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and

:17:31. > :17:41.Carmelita Jeter to face each other in about an hour's time.

:17:41. > :17:45.

:17:45. > :17:50.The is is his stage, his crowd. He More fat is going for it! It is

:17:50. > :18:00.going to be a glorious, glorious win! Mo Farah is going to make it

:18:00. > :18:03.

:18:03. > :18:08.two gold medals for Great Britain! I am back down in the warm-up area,

:18:08. > :18:12.and I have found the one and only Mo Farah, the three -- the start of

:18:12. > :18:18.the metre -- the start of the day, can I interrupt you downtown? What

:18:18. > :18:24.is going through your mind? I am just looking at the time, so it

:18:24. > :18:27.gives me enough time to warm up. I will hopefully start warming up in

:18:27. > :18:32.the next five minutes or so. much are you looking forward to

:18:32. > :18:37.going out in front of that adoring crowd? I am looking forward to it,

:18:37. > :18:42.at Birmingham I always get a great reception, very exciting. A enjoy

:18:52. > :18:56.

:18:56. > :19:01.races, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, it was supposed to be a showdown

:19:01. > :19:04.between her and Carmelita Jeter. Not so, instead it is the woman in

:19:05. > :19:13.lane five, Muriel and Uri of the Ivory Coast, who was comfortably

:19:13. > :19:18.the quickest. -- Murielle Ahoure. In fact, she has been considerably

:19:18. > :19:24.quicker than anyone else in this field so far. Asha Philip has made

:19:24. > :19:30.a bright start to this season, she is the flag waver for Great Britain

:19:30. > :19:40.in lane two. Carmelita Jeter in lane seven and Shelly-Ann Fraser-

:19:40. > :19:43.

:19:43. > :19:49.of a problem with Asha Philip's blocks in lane two. In lane one,

:19:49. > :19:54.from the Ukraine, slowest in the heats, she is deep Olympic --

:19:54. > :19:59.European 200m champion. On comes our highly paid in junior to sort

:19:59. > :20:06.things out for our Asha Philip. That is unsettling for her. She

:20:06. > :20:11.brushes it off with a smile. She won in Sheffield, she shocked

:20:11. > :20:17.herself, she said, but that gives it every chance of competing.

:20:17. > :20:25.Barbara Pierre, fourth last year at the indoor championships, back

:20:25. > :20:29.representing the USA again. And a smile from Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

:20:29. > :20:35.Just a reminder, this is her first indoor meeting. She won the second

:20:35. > :20:39.heat, not her quickest start, she could get close to seven flat.

:20:39. > :20:49.Murielle Ahoure certainly could, setting the all-comers record of

:20:49. > :20:55.

:20:55. > :21:00.7.03 in the first heat. She took the 20-year-old record. Lalova.

:21:00. > :21:05.From Bulgaria, set the world record in the European heats. She was

:21:05. > :21:09.pretty poor by her standards in Glasgow, Carmelita Jeter, sneaked

:21:09. > :21:16.in as a fastest loser to the final here.

:21:16. > :21:19.Sherri-Ann Brooks, the second Jamaican in the field, world indoor

:21:19. > :21:25.bronze-medallist in 2010. Denise Lewis is watching this with me,

:21:25. > :21:30.really Muriel Ahoure is the one to beat. She will be the target for

:21:30. > :21:40.all of them. I believe so, she is the woman in form, she has the

:21:40. > :21:56.

:21:56. > :22:00.it, will have to do it from lane seven, detached perhaps a little

:22:00. > :22:10.bit from the favourites of Shelly- Ann Fraser-Pryce and Murielle

:22:10. > :22:18.

:22:18. > :22:23.victory here! Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce trying to get second, no

:22:23. > :22:31.doubt about the winner, Murielle Ahoure, under seven seconds, 6.97

:22:31. > :22:37.improves on her time from the heats. 6.97, what a pace from Murielle

:22:37. > :22:41.Ahoure. Nothing that Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the Olympic champion,

:22:41. > :22:51.can do about that, as she has seen not only the when his house, but

:22:51. > :22:56.that time from Murielle Ahoure, 6.97, and she goes in at number six

:22:56. > :23:00.on the world all-time indoor list. It was an amazing run. You knew it

:23:00. > :23:06.was on the cards, this woman who has been producing close to seven

:23:06. > :23:10.seconds for the last few weeks, really in form, she could go under

:23:10. > :23:16.that seven second barrier, what a way to do it today. She is so quick

:23:16. > :23:21.out of the blocks, incredible, that is where she did the damage in this

:23:21. > :23:26.race. She moves away from Shelly- Ann Fraser-Pryce, who we know is a

:23:26. > :23:34.great start for, but once she is in her running, Murielle Ahoure is

:23:34. > :23:40.just a majestic, beautiful running at its best. The time has -- the

:23:40. > :23:47.time has been rounded up to 6.99, crucially inside a personal best of

:23:47. > :23:51.seven seconds flat. Correct running there. I am keen to look at just

:23:51. > :23:56.how Carmelita Jeter was going to cope with this race, clearly still

:23:56. > :24:01.a lot in shape, not ready for this calibre of race, and we basically

:24:01. > :24:10.want to see just how fast Murielle Ahoure has to run. Beautiful

:24:10. > :24:13.I have Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce alongside me, we will hopefully

:24:13. > :24:18.have a word with Murielle Ahoure and a second. The first time you

:24:18. > :24:23.have run indoors, you have performed admirably well. Very

:24:23. > :24:27.excited, I am pleased to be here, I have had a wonderful time, what a

:24:27. > :24:31.great experience, and I am glad it happened in Birmingham. You said he

:24:31. > :24:38.did not know what to expect, so hang was the track and the

:24:38. > :24:44.atmosphere? It was great, I did not know it would be the same

:24:44. > :24:49.temperature as outside! The track was really good, I had no problems

:24:49. > :24:58.today, I came and did a good job. Will you be back for more?

:24:58. > :25:02.Definitely! Well done. Thank you. That is the happiest second place

:25:02. > :25:10.in the career of Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce. One tenth of a second behind

:25:10. > :25:20.We will bring you up to date with the times from the 60m, but no

:25:20. > :25:20.

:25:20. > :25:26.doubt about the winner, Murielle Here is the star of that 60m, what

:25:26. > :25:34.a fantastic performance. Thank you so much, I am so, so excited. We

:25:34. > :25:37.did not even planned to even run indoors at all. I was still doing

:25:37. > :25:41.my preparations, my goal is obviously the World Championships

:25:41. > :25:46.outdoors, so we were training format. It is so cool to come here

:25:46. > :25:51.in the middle of training and just dropped a time like this! That is

:25:51. > :25:56.crazy! I am so excited. Under seven seconds, what does that tell you

:25:56. > :26:01.about the season to come? It tells me it will be a really, really good

:26:01. > :26:05.year! And it has been a great start, that is for certain, well done.

:26:05. > :26:15.that is for certain, well done. Thank you so much.

:26:15. > :26:34.

:26:34. > :26:42.jump, no improvement for her. -- we metres outdoors, her indoor

:26:42. > :26:46.personal best is not that good, only 15.42. She seems to be getting

:26:46. > :26:51.closer and closer, maybe in excess of that distance now. 29 years old,

:26:52. > :26:56.she has been around for a while, one of the world championships and

:26:56. > :27:01.the European gold medal twice out doors. She will certainly be a

:27:01. > :27:11.challenger in Gothenburg. That is a new lifetime best for this very

:27:11. > :27:12.

:27:12. > :27:16.talented Ukrainian, 14.61, that interesting, all the main

:27:16. > :27:26.contenders are there at 2.29. Certainly a bigger danger to

:27:26. > :27:28.

:27:28. > :27:33.find at these high jumpers from, they have a whole crop of them.

:27:33. > :27:38.They are looking very good this year and every year. Ivan Ukhov now,

:27:38. > :27:48.he looks a little below par today. But he is still Olympic champion

:27:48. > :27:52.

:27:52. > :28:02.Russian. Sometimes a bit of a bad boy when it comes to behaviour, but

:28:02. > :28:07.

:28:07. > :28:13.patiently, 2.29, he knows what he has to do and he gets it first time.

:28:13. > :28:20.He just gave it a little battle, but the bar stayed on. -- a little

:28:20. > :28:27.rattled. He really has springs in his heels, or Robbie. Before he won

:28:27. > :28:32.his Olympic bronze medal, he was European outdoor champion last year.

:28:33. > :28:37.Confirmation of the women's 60m result, Murielle Ahoure with an

:28:37. > :28:47.all-comers record, a personal best. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in second.

:28:47. > :28:54.

:28:54. > :28:58.and good quality field here, Britain's best on display. Both

:28:58. > :29:04.Michael Rimmer and Andrew Osagie, who had such a great race in that a

:29:04. > :29:14.peak Olympic 800m final last year. Josef Repcik will be on the inside

:29:14. > :29:34.

:29:34. > :29:43.in lane one. Mukhtar Mohammed of this race today. I think it will be

:29:43. > :29:47.fairly swift. Guy Learmonth, just 20 years old, he was third in the

:29:47. > :29:52.UK championships and has the qualifying time. Although it may

:29:52. > :29:57.not be good enough, he was just ahead of Mukhtar Mohammed, who

:29:57. > :30:04.timed his effort to a little Road last week at the championships, won

:30:04. > :30:08.by Joe Thomas. -- a little wrong. This is Michael Rimmer's first ever

:30:09. > :30:17.800m indoors. He was with that group in Kenya we have been talking

:30:17. > :30:25.about so much today. We have only seen Andrew Osagie run

:30:25. > :30:31.are based in Glasgow. -- run a race. He has had a bit more training, a

:30:31. > :30:39.little more time to get himself in shape today. He -- he will have to,

:30:39. > :30:45.he has Abubaker Kaki, a former world indoor champion. A huge

:30:45. > :30:51.experience indoors. Then Joe Thomas, the man from Cardiff who makes a

:30:51. > :30:54.speciality of winning particularly slow races. I think he will find

:30:54. > :31:04.today it will be fast and people have to decide whether to go with

:31:04. > :31:17.

:31:17. > :31:25.the pace or not or sit back and in something like 51 seconds. --

:31:25. > :31:34.Matt Scherer the British record is still held by one Mr Sebastian co-,

:31:34. > :31:38.1983. Wonder how close they can get to that. Andrew Osagie is not

:31:38. > :31:43.wanting to go with the case. Mohammed is slotted in there with

:31:43. > :31:46.Repcik. Matt Scherer going through quickly. 24.46. Andrew Osagie at

:31:46. > :31:52.the back. A bit quick there and the others probably rightly letting him

:31:52. > :31:56.go a bit. So they can reel him in a bit more on the next lap. Andrew

:31:56. > :32:00.Osagie sitting at the back, but looks in better shape. Looks

:32:00. > :32:08.sharper than he did in Glasgow. Doesn't take him very long to get

:32:08. > :32:15.into shape. There is a bit of a British battle go in there with

:32:15. > :32:22.Rimmer. Mohammed is in third place, 0. 07. They have to keep this going.

:32:22. > :32:32.CACy will be left in front with Mohammed going with him. --

:32:32. > :32:34.

:32:34. > :32:38.him and his coach, is not afraid to challenge him, as he is doing now.

:32:38. > :32:41.Attacking round the outside. Rimmer has take encloser order. So has

:32:41. > :32:45.Andrew Osagie, are they close enough to attack? Rimmer is having

:32:45. > :32:51.a good race. Andrew Osagie is moving well down the back straight.

:32:51. > :32:56.It is moment in the front, then Abubaker Kaki, then Repcik, Andrew

:32:56. > :33:00.Osagie moves into fourth. Who has the strength? Who has the chance to

:33:00. > :33:04.try and pick up a victory. It is Abubaker Kaki coming back. Abubaker

:33:04. > :33:08.Kaki is going to get there, he is pushed over. Rimmer from behind

:33:08. > :33:14.wins it, but he definitely pushed Abubaker Kaki in the back, as

:33:14. > :33:17.Abubaker Kaki cut across him. Now, shake of the head. He has come out

:33:17. > :33:23.top of the Brits there but will the judges have a little look at this?

:33:23. > :33:29.He definitely put an arm into the back of Abubaker Kaki, that made

:33:29. > :33:33.him overblabs. They were full of lactic a-- asaid. -- overbalance.

:33:33. > :33:37.He putted a hand on Abubaker Kaki and down he goes. I don't know if

:33:37. > :33:44.he pushed him or tripped him with his foot and tried to pull him back

:33:44. > :33:49.almost. Let us have a closer look. There is room for him to go round

:33:49. > :33:53.Mohammed, I think. Does he click his heels. Yes the knees then he

:33:54. > :33:58.clicks his own heel. It was Rimmer's leg that gave him a brush.

:33:58. > :34:01.That is not deliberate. So has he robbed him of a victory inadd ver

:34:01. > :34:11.and thely of course. It intb interesting to see what the judges

:34:11. > :34:13.

:34:13. > :34:17.think. -- inadvertantly. He manages to kick a bit at the bell, running

:34:17. > :34:21.well. Michael Rimmer closing there. Maybe should have gone round the

:34:21. > :34:25.outside there. But stayed on the inside. Tried to run the kerb.

:34:25. > :34:30.Andrew Osagie coming round and shadowing him but hasn't got the

:34:30. > :34:33.pace to close it in. Abubaker Kaki needed to move up a gear here and

:34:33. > :34:37.couldn't. Just a wall in front of Michael Rimmer. I think maybe he

:34:37. > :34:47.lost his balance. Caught the foot of Abubaker Kaki. Tipped into

:34:47. > :34:50.

:34:50. > :34:53.happened, what did you feel happened, what did you feel

:34:53. > :34:57.happened on the track? Simple. I tried to get as close as I could,

:34:57. > :35:03.to get the gap opened, and everyone is tiring, I think he just, he tire

:35:03. > :35:08.add bit, I went into him. I was finishing quicker than everyone

:35:08. > :35:13.else. It looks like I pushed him. I was trying to put the brakes on. So

:35:13. > :35:18.it was a great race. Just shame I wasn't better positioned. I had so

:35:18. > :35:25.much left. I had so much running and done another lap. That is great

:35:25. > :35:28.to hear! Did you clip him on his foot? Was it that touch? I think my

:35:28. > :35:36.hand, he had nowhere else to go. It was that or run through him, so I

:35:36. > :35:42.think I must, I nudged him a bit. Hopefully I don't get DQ for it. I

:35:42. > :35:46.had nowhere else to go. expectation is you will get

:35:46. > :35:52.disqualified? I hope not. He died in front of me. He was dying in

:35:52. > :35:56.front of me, I ran into him. I hoped, I don't understand...

:35:56. > :36:00.just one final word on what this means for you you have so much left

:36:00. > :36:05.in the tank there. So bodes well for what is to come? That is the

:36:05. > :36:09.first time I have run indoors so it was a guaranteed PB, it has been a

:36:09. > :36:14.good year so far, I went to Kenya for two month, come back, I'm in

:36:14. > :36:20.the best shape so far, so staying injury free, I have had a nightmare

:36:21. > :36:30.two years, so many injuries if I can stay away from injuries I can

:36:31. > :36:40.

:36:40. > :36:45.Nobody has cleared it. The four big napes are out there. Can he gain

:36:45. > :36:49.the advantage. This is a world class field he has here. The

:36:49. > :36:54.organisers have assembly a wonderful wonderful competition.

:36:54. > :37:03.Top class performers and Robbie Grabarz almost got over. Almost

:37:03. > :37:09.negotiated it. So his first tailure in this enthralling competition. No

:37:09. > :37:19.way do we know who the winner of this one is. Robbie, he has to find

:37:19. > :37:20.

:37:20. > :37:25.a bit extra if he wants to win this double Commonwealth champion. Born

:37:25. > :37:30.in Jamaica, had her education in the US, now she lives in Finchley

:37:30. > :37:34.in London. Fid owe therapist and training partner -- physiotherapist

:37:34. > :37:38.and training partner of Yamile Aldama. That is not going to take

:37:38. > :37:46.the lead. That is held by Olha Saladukha. But that could put her

:37:46. > :37:56.in the top three. She is outside, just, of the top three positions.

:37:56. > :38:00.

:38:00. > :38:05.Yamile Aldama 13.92 in second place. You still have Cristina Bujin to

:38:05. > :38:12.jump. Olha Saladukha is in the lead but that is good enough for second

:38:12. > :38:17.place. The longest jump she has achieved this year. Really

:38:17. > :38:21.interesting 800 metres. Michael Rimmer is still the winner. The

:38:21. > :38:27.salient point is five British athletes have the qualifying time.

:38:27. > :38:36.Joe Thomas. The selectors might ask who wants to go. It may not be they

:38:36. > :38:42.all want to go. They have some choices to make there. Inside the

:38:42. > :38:49.last hour of this fan it is a fibg meeting. The women's 400 metres. --

:38:49. > :38:59.fantastic. Also Eilidh Child. Then, at 4.15. The last event of the day.

:38:59. > :39:04.

:39:05. > :39:09.So Denise and Colin have come down infeed. The one thing is you are

:39:09. > :39:16.close to the the crowd. atmosphere is building. It is

:39:16. > :39:20.intense, very informed they are loving it. We have seen great ath -

:39:20. > :39:24.- athletics. You have gad great runs here as well Colin. Yes, thank

:39:24. > :39:29.you very much Denise. It has to be fantastic for people like Jenny to

:39:29. > :39:33.return and feel this audience. She must be looking forward to it

:39:33. > :39:38.mentioned Jenny Meadow, she might get as big as cheer as Mo Farah.

:39:38. > :39:41.Here are her thoughts. It was great watching the Olympic game, great

:39:41. > :39:47.seeing the British success, but I still can't quite believe it

:39:47. > :39:52.happened if I am honest. If I sit down an dwell on things and think

:39:52. > :40:00.Olympic tpwam I wasn't there, I think it's a dream and it didn't

:40:00. > :40:04.happen. I tried to stay positive. Thankfully 2012 is finished for me.

:40:04. > :40:09.I couldn't wait to start 2013. This is the first major injury I have

:40:09. > :40:14.had. I have been competing since I was seven. I have been very lucky.

:40:14. > :40:19.I have had a few niggles, that have kept me out for a day or a couple

:40:19. > :40:23.of weeks. Athletics is de fining me. It defined the character I am. I

:40:23. > :40:28.found it really difficult in 2000 12 you know, not to have that

:40:28. > :40:34.normality, you know, not be able to do the thing I do, and the thing I

:40:34. > :40:40.am. Here comes Jenny Meadow, will she get there? She does. Well done.

:40:40. > :40:43.The last few years I have come to Birmingham, won the race, won it

:40:43. > :40:49.dramatically, in 2010 set a British record here, which was absolutely

:40:49. > :40:53.fantastic. I am not in that shape yet. I say the word yet. I am

:40:53. > :40:56.convinced I will be by summer. Which is great. I do expect a good

:40:56. > :41:01.performance of myself. I am looking to be in the first couple of places

:41:01. > :41:05.in the race. The injury is long forgot about. A bit race rustty.

:41:05. > :41:08.Not quite done as many weeks or months of training as what I would

:41:08. > :41:12.normally do at this time of the year. But that is the important

:41:12. > :41:16.thing. I am fit, I am healthy and there is no reason I shouldn't race,

:41:17. > :41:20.so I just am looking forward to being back, and giving a solid

:41:21. > :41:28.performance out there and just a sign of by the outdoor season

:41:28. > :41:32.hopefully I will be back to normal, and perhaps even better. You have

:41:32. > :41:36.both done strum stru. Imagine if Bruce Forsyth was here, he would

:41:36. > :41:41.say she is my favourite. There is a lot of love for this girl. She is a

:41:41. > :41:45.fighter, a grafter and a talented athlete. What I hope is her

:41:45. > :41:48.confidence is back, you know, it will only come with racing

:41:49. > :41:55.naturally. Her expectations are realistic for what she expected,

:41:55. > :42:01.but it is great, great to see her back. That is a good point. You

:42:01. > :42:06.don't know until you race. I think she has a wise head on her. So she

:42:06. > :42:11.will race, the way she knows she can race. She has won medal, and I

:42:11. > :42:18.am really looking forward to seeing her on the track. It is all yours

:42:18. > :42:22.her on the track. It is all yours Andrew. A welcome sight for the

:42:22. > :42:27.crowd here, a wonderful feeling it must be for the woman herself.

:42:27. > :42:37.Jenny Meadows about to return to action for the first time since

:42:37. > :42:46.

:42:46. > :42:56.September 2011. Is Lindsay Sharp is here. The Russian may well be the

:42:56. > :43:03.

:43:03. > :43:13.Blackburn bg lives in Birmingham. Finished in Sheffield last week.

:43:13. > :43:14.

:43:14. > :43:20.The standard is 2.03.50. For Gothenburg. That is her target. Win

:43:20. > :43:30.yes Che bet knows what it is like to miss out on the Olympics. She

:43:30. > :43:39.

:43:39. > :43:49.didn't have the qualifying standard. She is the daughter of the great

:43:49. > :43:50.

:43:50. > :44:00.sprinter Cameron Sharp. The Russian was the bronze medallist in London.

:44:00. > :44:02.

:44:02. > :44:11.We will listen to this. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE hoping to start again

:44:11. > :44:20.anew after her horrible year last year. Dawn Hunt is sharing the

:44:20. > :44:30.outside lane. And hearth man, she has gone close to -- Hartman, she

:44:30. > :44:36.

:44:36. > :44:43.has gone close to sub four minutes. a racer and sne the race to win it

:44:43. > :44:50.or run as fast as she can. It might take her a while to feel her way

:44:50. > :45:00.back in. Chebet out there quickly, but she settles in. Meadows behind

:45:00. > :45:06.the pacemaker Hunt, out in front. Asked to take them through. Meadows

:45:06. > :45:11.looking comfortable. Chebet in close aten dense. So just under 29

:45:11. > :45:16.seconds so right on pace, and Jenny, right where she wants to be, behind

:45:16. > :45:23.her. It will be interesting to see how Lindsay plays this. Does she

:45:23. > :45:29.track general ji and concentrate on trying to be the first British

:45:30. > :45:37.finishers or try to improve her time. The Russian comes through to

:45:37. > :45:43.make her presence felt. This is where Jenny Reichs to be. -- likes

:45:43. > :45:48.to be. She is sitting alongside the pacemaker. When will she strike.

:45:48. > :45:54.The Russian is looking comfortable. As is Lynsey Sharp. Jenny is trying

:45:54. > :45:58.to open up but the Russian is shadowing her every move. It is

:45:58. > :46:06.slow through 400 metres. She is trying to run the legs off the

:46:06. > :46:10.Russian a bit, so she doesn't have to deal with that kick. 200 to go.

:46:11. > :46:15.Jenny meadows, 11 si sharp with them and they are opening a gap to

:46:15. > :46:20.Chebet. Meadows is the target and in the sights of the Russian. The

:46:20. > :46:25.Russian beginning to ease past now, she is race fit, and Lynsey Sharp

:46:25. > :46:30.too, trying to move round the outside of Jenny Meadows but she

:46:30. > :46:35.digs in. The Russian is there. The Russian has that fitness. She has

:46:35. > :46:45.the lead. She stretches clear to take it, Jenny preponderance

:46:45. > :46:52.

:46:52. > :46:59.and try to win the race. She put it on the line that was really

:46:59. > :47:05.followed there at the end, trying to go further one.

:47:05. > :47:10.Jenny Meadows, she knows it is just the start of the resumption of her

:47:10. > :47:15.career, her resumption as a racer, and she run a good race here.

:47:15. > :47:21.There she is leading it out, you can see Lindsey hanging on to the

:47:21. > :47:25.back of it there, I think she was feeling she was going to come wide,

:47:25. > :47:32.then you can see Jenny come back to her. Maybe out of the corner of her

:47:32. > :47:36.guide, as she notices Lindsey there and things an extra gear to hold

:47:36. > :47:41.her place. How close did Lynsey Sharp get? She

:47:41. > :47:47.was really fighting there, hanging on in third, she is chasing that UK

:47:47. > :47:53.Gothenburg standard, as well. She will be very close to it. We get

:47:53. > :47:57.confirmation, she does have it, Lynsey Sharp, a real achievement

:47:57. > :48:01.for the woman go missing in third place there. She is grimacing, but

:48:01. > :48:11.she will be happy when she sees the time and she can build on that, and

:48:11. > :48:12.

:48:12. > :48:22.it is looking good going into Gothenburg. Comfortable and easy

:48:22. > :48:28.

:48:28. > :48:32.Jenny is alongside me after what was a tremendous looking comeback.

:48:32. > :48:37.It was so surreal to be out there on the start line.

:48:37. > :48:43.It is all long since I have been in a competitive environment, since

:48:43. > :48:48.September 2011, so I did not know what to expect of myself, really.

:48:48. > :48:53.Off second place was a decent result. I was the bronze-medallist

:48:53. > :48:56.in -- she was the bronze-medallist in the Olympic Games, but I have

:48:56. > :49:01.really only been back in training about ten weeks, so a pretty good

:49:01. > :49:06.result. There was one first place we need

:49:06. > :49:11.to remind you and the viewers of, Paris two years ago, she crossed

:49:11. > :49:19.the line first, she was disqualified for doping allegations,

:49:19. > :49:27.and we have here now the gold medal that is brightly Dewar's. -- that

:49:27. > :49:31.is rightly Dewar's. Congratulations. It is long overdue, there is the

:49:31. > :49:36.medal that means Jenny Meadows European indoor champion four Paris.

:49:36. > :49:41.What does it feel to have that around your neck at last? Brilliant,

:49:42. > :49:47.I have lots of silvers and bronzes, I always wanted a gold medal.

:49:47. > :49:51.have you got Gothenburg in your sights? I did not, no, I know I can

:49:51. > :49:57.run a couple of seconds faster than that, I have done in training last

:49:57. > :50:02.week, but it is quite a moderate pace here. I did not have it in my

:50:02. > :50:06.plans, but I will have to sit down with my coach to see if I could do

:50:06. > :50:09.with more racing stimuli. I think I can walk couple of seconds faster

:50:09. > :50:15.than that and it may be good enough for a couple of medals. Let's see

:50:15. > :50:25.what he says. Congratulations on your performance today, my honour

:50:25. > :50:29.

:50:30. > :50:36.to presented to you, thank you, anthem, I thought Phil Jones would

:50:36. > :50:40.provide it. Great to see Jenny medals, Jenny Meadows does not know

:50:40. > :50:50.if she will go to Gothenburg, but Lynsey Sharp has achieved the

:50:50. > :50:51.

:50:51. > :51:01.standard to go to Sweden in two could be a crucial height in the

:51:01. > :51:05.

:51:05. > :51:09.the first, and a perfect result for Aleksey Dmitrik. Remember, this is

:51:09. > :51:16.the guy that has beaten Robbie Grabarz this year already, and he

:51:16. > :51:23.is turning out to be the danger man. Can Ivan Ukhov produce something

:51:23. > :51:28.special here? He needs to. His third and final attempt. No, it has

:51:28. > :51:32.not gone Ivan Ukhov's way. Interestingly, Aleksey Dmitrik, his

:51:32. > :51:41.team mate, has been named in the team for Gothenburg, but Ivan Ukhov

:51:41. > :51:46.has not. Robbie Grabarz's attempted to 0.39 last week, so surely this

:51:46. > :51:51.is within his sights. Not quite. His poorest attempt so far, so once

:51:51. > :51:56.again for the second time in a role, Aleksey Dmitrik, this very talented

:51:56. > :51:59.Russian, has got the better of Robbie Grabarz. Great Britain's

:51:59. > :52:04.number one, still one of the best number one, still one of the best

:52:04. > :52:08.in Europe and the world. Disappointment for Robbie Grabarz,

:52:08. > :52:12.but not Jenny medals, she got a gold medal retrospectively, but in

:52:12. > :52:17.the context of what she has been through, that was almost a gold

:52:17. > :52:21.medal performance today. Absolutely, she ran the only way we have seen

:52:21. > :52:26.her run, which is try and dominate the race from the front, run it on

:52:26. > :52:32.her terms. I think she delivered on what she expected. A fantastic race

:52:33. > :52:38.from her. Ten weeks training, she has not been competitive for a long

:52:38. > :52:43.time, it was remarkable. He yes, she mentioned, 2011 so she

:52:43. > :52:48.has competed. Incredible to mix it in with the rest of the women. I

:52:48. > :52:51.think she has done an absolutely awesome job. She said she will core

:52:51. > :52:58.and have a chat with a coach - it will be a long conversation, I tell

:52:58. > :53:01.you. The next on track, another athlete

:53:01. > :53:11.with something to prove, Perri Shakes-Drayton in the 400m.

:53:11. > :53:19.

:53:19. > :53:29.Yes, not just Perri Shakes-Drayton, of the world's top 10, two of them

:53:29. > :53:29.

:53:29. > :53:37.from Great Britain, Perri Shakes- Drayton and Eilidh Child, both of

:53:37. > :53:40.them better known as a hurdlers. Shana Cox in the first lane, Ksenia

:53:40. > :53:45.Zadorina or, the best of the Russians here, second best of the

:53:45. > :53:49.Russians in the world this year. Ebonie Floyd of the USA in three,

:53:49. > :53:57.then Eilidh Child, then Perri Shakes-Drayton, and on the outside

:53:57. > :54:01.it is Natasha Hastings. Shana Cox was second at the British

:54:01. > :54:11.championships. I am not sure she would have expected to be behind

:54:11. > :54:12.

:54:12. > :54:16.Eilidh Child in that race, but she year, though. Ksenia Zadorina, she

:54:16. > :54:26.was second in the championships last week, set the world's fastest

:54:26. > :54:32.

:54:32. > :54:37.Boston in her last race, which was two or three weeks ago, 51.82 on

:54:37. > :54:43.that occasion, and that is a personal best. Talking of personal

:54:43. > :54:49.bests, shattered them this year in don't, Scottish record holder,

:54:49. > :54:55.Eilidh Child. She is on great form this year. What a great race in

:54:55. > :54:59.Glasgow it was from Perri Shakes- Drayton, the first individual 400m

:54:59. > :55:03.indoors. She has run in the relay, of course come at the championships

:55:03. > :55:08.last year come at what a really team we are putting together for

:55:08. > :55:14.the European indoors. -- what a relay team.

:55:14. > :55:20.She was pipped on the line by Natasha Hastings back in Glasgow.

:55:20. > :55:25.She is forthright in the world this year. -- she is fourth ranked. She

:55:25. > :55:35.was disqualified in the 60m, that was supposed to be a warm-up for

:55:35. > :56:01.

:56:01. > :56:06.Hastings, but had a false start. A they get away. Hastings almost

:56:06. > :56:12.stumbled out of the blocks. Eilidh Child is perhaps the quickest of

:56:12. > :56:18.the three British athletes. Look at the pace she has damp that outside.

:56:18. > :56:23.A big gap between Hastings, Sue really want to dominate for us, a

:56:23. > :56:28.scrap for second place that day the child may win. Hastings very fast,

:56:28. > :56:33.23.49 through 200m, can the two British athletes pace this a little

:56:33. > :56:38.better? Eilidh Child has held off Perri Shakes-Drayton. They are

:56:38. > :56:43.closing on the American, but is it quick enough? Hastings starting to

:56:43. > :56:50.tighten up a little round the top bend, is it a good leader -- a good

:56:50. > :56:55.enough lead? Hastings tiring, but she will hang on for the winner,

:56:55. > :56:59.50.89. That is a superb time, the fastest in the world this year.

:56:59. > :57:04.Perri Shakes-Drayton must have run a personal best, as must Eilidh

:57:04. > :57:09.Child, good running from the two Brits, but nothing they could do

:57:09. > :57:15.about the American. She went out so fast but have the strength to hold

:57:15. > :57:20.on for a super-fast time. Just outside her personal best, which

:57:20. > :57:25.she set six years ago, Natasha Hastings, usually not able to get

:57:25. > :57:35.into the American individual team. She has run really races for them,

:57:35. > :57:38.

:57:38. > :57:42.but she is in superb form. That was you were watching that, I bet you

:57:42. > :57:46.were thinking what I was thinking, that the two British goals might

:57:46. > :57:51.run her down. I thought Hastings would pay the price for such a

:57:51. > :57:57.blistering first lap, and you know the strength both our British girls

:57:57. > :58:01.have, we saw it in Glasgow how they'd begin time after time. But

:58:01. > :58:08.Perri Shakes-Drayton in this race was not going to be beaten by

:58:08. > :58:16.Eilidh Child. Their battle still continues. What a time, 50.89,

:58:17. > :58:20.rounded down to 50.88. That was an incredible race. Still a lot of

:58:20. > :58:25.relaxation in her face, even though her legs are tiring at this point.

:58:25. > :58:35.She knows it is quick, she can feel it, but maintains her form,

:58:35. > :58:36.

:58:37. > :58:39.really good performance, 50.88, she really good performance, 50.88, she

:58:39. > :58:43.is with Phil Jones now. A tremendous performance, we have

:58:43. > :58:48.seen so many today, this crowd inspires it. Having been

:58:48. > :58:52.disqualified in the 60m, to do that, put it into words for me. It is

:58:52. > :58:56.exciting, I was a little disappointed about the 60m, so I

:58:56. > :59:02.wanted to put down a good time, this is my last race for the indoor

:59:02. > :59:08.season. Did you expect that kind of time? No, I did not, as you can see

:59:08. > :59:14.I am a little winded. There is so much strength and debt in the

:59:14. > :59:18.American team, state side, what is the next thing for you?

:59:18. > :59:22.I will take a couple of days off and get ready for the outdoor

:59:22. > :59:25.season. There are no more indoor championships this season for us,

:59:25. > :59:31.it is a light indoor seating and Denbigh will look forward to the

:59:31. > :59:34.outdoors. Congratulations, well done. Thank you.

:59:34. > :59:38.We can bring in Perri Shakes- Drayton, well done, another

:59:38. > :59:45.tremendous performance, you keep on knocking increments of that

:59:45. > :59:54.personal best of years. It is not easy. It is totally different to

:59:54. > :00:01.the hurdles. The fate I have with Eilidh Child, that is 400m hurdles

:00:01. > :00:08.plus the distance. I can run as well, you know, indoors.

:00:08. > :00:13.Well, you were third on the UK all- time list? An amazing performance.

:00:13. > :00:18.Thank you. I can tell my training is going in the right direction,

:00:18. > :00:24.Chris is doing a great job and I have a lot of faith in him.

:00:24. > :00:29.Gothenburg next? Oh yes! All that - - well done for that, all the best

:00:29. > :00:32.for today. Thank you. He is, Perri Shakes-Drayton third

:00:32. > :00:40.He is, Perri Shakes-Drayton third on the UK all-time list, and going

:00:40. > :00:46.fourth on the UK all-time list, really good performances for those

:00:46. > :00:51.European Championships. A great time from Natasha Hastings. Talking

:00:51. > :00:58.about the strength of our relay race squad, earlier on there was a

:00:58. > :01:03.domestic 400m race. Megan Beesley, who has been part of our team on

:01:03. > :01:08.many occasions on the outside, but it is the first time we have seen

:01:08. > :01:12.her team-mate attacking the 400m with any real gusto. This was a

:01:12. > :01:21.really good performance from Margaret. She had to sit in behind

:01:21. > :01:25.Beesley, over the first 200m a fairly swift 24.62. She stuck in

:01:25. > :01:29.really well, coached by Linford Christie, may be thinking about

:01:30. > :01:33.moving up into an event which we have strength and depth that, but

:01:33. > :01:38.this will only add to that strength and depth. Margaret look really

:01:38. > :01:43.strong in the last few hundred metres, coming past Beesley and

:01:43. > :01:46.finishing with a very good time indeed, 52.46. At the time we

:01:46. > :01:51.thought that was really did, then we just saw Perri Shakes-Drayton

:01:51. > :02:01.and Eilidh Child going even better. A very promising performance from

:02:01. > :02:08.

:02:08. > :02:18.you, but interestingly, the number fifth running her personal best,

:02:18. > :02:26.

:02:26. > :02:36.hurdles. It will be a final throw of the dice for a couple of British

:02:36. > :02:38.

:02:38. > :02:44.athletes to aheave the qualifying standards. For Gothenburg. As well

:02:44. > :02:48.as a race with high quality hurdlers. The name of Gianni

:02:48. > :02:55.Frankis and Alan Scott in lane six they are going for the standard.

:02:55. > :03:00.The men in three, four and five are the favourites for the race. Manuel

:03:00. > :03:10.Ortiz, Omo Osaghae and Sergey Shubenkov, they were a class apart

:03:10. > :03:16.

:03:16. > :03:24.in the heats. -- Ortega. Yordan O'Farrill, his grandfather was

:03:24. > :03:34.Irish. No surprise there He was slowest in the heats, along with

:03:34. > :03:38.

:03:38. > :03:48.this man, Barrett Nugent. Here is Manuel Ortiz. Olympic finalist.

:03:48. > :03:54.

:03:54. > :04:03.Personal best in 7.54 in winning his heat. Omo Osaghae, winner of

:04:03. > :04:13.the second heat. New Russian record holder, Sergey Shubenkov. He goes

:04:13. > :04:14.

:04:14. > :04:18.in lane five. Alan Scot, 30-year- old was a world indoor finalist in

:04:18. > :04:25.2000. He took a couple of years out when he concentrated on teacher

:04:25. > :04:30.training. Back running very well indeed. Wenjun Xie, just missed out

:04:30. > :04:39.on a place in the Olympic final. Person a best for him in the heats.

:04:39. > :04:45.-- personal. And Gianni Frankis, so close, just 200th away for

:04:45. > :04:50.qualification for Gothenburg, last week winning in Sheffield. 7.65 is

:04:50. > :05:00.his target, as it is for Alan Scott. There is a possibility for no

:05:00. > :05:01.

:05:01. > :05:07.representation for England in Gothenburg. Yordan O'Farrill from

:05:07. > :05:12.Cuba. Nugent from the US, then Manuel Ortiz. Omo Osaghae. Alan

:05:12. > :05:22.Scott in six. Wenjun Xie in sense and Gianni Frankis, nearest to us

:05:22. > :05:40.

:05:40. > :05:47.in lane eight. The final of the is first to two. Omo Osaghae powers

:05:47. > :05:52.his way, sheestpwheets there but Omo Osaghae with the victory. --

:05:52. > :05:56.Wenjun Xie. He is a powerful hurdler, not a sleek and smoot one.

:05:56. > :06:02.But a great victory for Omo Osaghae and kphesration pass between Omo

:06:02. > :06:07.Osaghae and Sergey Shubenkov, but the winner in 7.51 Omo Osaghae from

:06:07. > :06:11.the United States. -- commiserations. Colin Jackson was

:06:11. > :06:16.watching that. He is is a powerful sprinter and hurdler. We are right

:06:17. > :06:24.down here at the start. Lots of inhaling going on. Just before the

:06:24. > :06:30.gun went and when they exploded, off they go. He is an untidy

:06:30. > :06:35.hurdler. You can get way with it over 60 metres but when it comes to

:06:35. > :06:38.the longer distances outdoors you can't afford to make so many errors.

:06:38. > :06:47.The hurdlers will be better. You have the likes of merit to deal

:06:47. > :06:52.with, who as we all know ran that sensational world record of 12. 08

:06:52. > :06:56.-- 12.8. Omo Osaghae is looking strong. He is strong, powerful,

:06:56. > :07:02.Sergey Shubenkov tries to run him down but he just cannot get on

:07:02. > :07:08.level terms with him. Does enough to take the victory here in a

:07:08. > :07:17.reasonably quick time of 7.51. A good, strong performance. Manuel

:07:17. > :07:22.Ortiz from Cuba, it wasn't his day. He is more -- Ortega. He is going

:07:22. > :07:31.to be chasing all the way to the line but he cannot get on terms.

:07:31. > :07:35.There is only one winner today. Omo Osaghae. 7.51 for him. The bad news

:07:35. > :07:39.was Gianni Frankis in fifth place. So so close again to that

:07:39. > :07:46.qualifying Stan dand for Gothenburg. There is confirmation. Gianni

:07:46. > :07:56.Frankis still to come through. We can confirm he he was fifth, so

:07:56. > :08:02.

:08:02. > :08:06.500ths of a second. Alan Scott down remaining rounds of the women's --

:08:06. > :08:10.triple jump. It was a solid victory for Olha Saladukha. She will start

:08:10. > :08:18.at favourite for the European title at the beginning of March. Trecia-

:08:18. > :08:21.Kaye Smith did improve. And Cristina Bujin, she went out to

:08:21. > :08:28.13.92. Yamile Aldama of Great Britain will not, probably not go

:08:28. > :08:32.to Gothenburg, 13.91 is not far to qualify her, all that though

:08:32. > :08:36.outdoors she jumped further last year. The high jump gave us a good

:08:37. > :08:44.guide to form ahead of the European Championships. It was

:08:44. > :08:54.disappointment for Robbie Grabarz. 2.29. But to go higher that, the

:08:54. > :08:56.

:08:56. > :09:00.sort of height that will win middles -- medals. Aleksey Dmitrik

:09:01. > :09:04.got victory over Robbie Grabarz and got victory over Robbie Grabarz and

:09:04. > :09:09.the world champion. It is virtually deserted because even has gone

:09:09. > :09:14.almost. You can hear a cheer, Mo Farah has come out on to the track,

:09:14. > :09:18.ready for the last vent t3,000 metres. We saw a beautiful film of

:09:18. > :09:28.him training in Kenya. We can see the second part of that now. --

:09:28. > :09:46.

:09:46. > :09:49.I reason I came out here, I had a chance to live with them, before I

:09:49. > :09:52.had my breakthrough, and they said to me, Mo, you should come to Kenya,

:09:52. > :09:55.train with us, I just wanted to be able to come here and train and

:09:56. > :09:59.learn from them. For me, living with them, I have learned a lot for

:09:59. > :10:02.them. All you think about is training. Nothing else. You know,

:10:02. > :10:07.you are not there to pick up the post and think about, you have to

:10:07. > :10:10.pay this bill, you have to do this, you have see a friend, you are here

:10:10. > :10:14.to train and do 100 plus miles a week and that works well for me.

:10:14. > :10:18.This time of the years it is important I don't get carried away

:10:18. > :10:22.too much and do what the coach tells you and feel good, and yes,

:10:22. > :10:26.some days you feel great, and you see some guys who are unrun --

:10:26. > :10:33.running and they join you, and you pick up the patience you pick up

:10:33. > :10:37.the pace, what you forget if there is a guys there, they did a decent

:10:37. > :10:40.session, some of them had a couple of days rest and are feeling fresh.

:10:40. > :10:45.It is important you listen to your body, and if you feel good about it,

:10:45. > :10:49.then you go along with it. It is important you stick to what you

:10:49. > :10:56.know. This town is special. Everybody knows about running, and

:10:56. > :11:03.people are so nice. The kids are running round here, just so

:11:03. > :11:12.exciting. "How are you ?". It is nice to see kids, and smiling and

:11:12. > :11:21.it is a friendly town. This is Freddie. You wait here, every day,

:11:21. > :11:26.to run with Mo? Yes. Why? Because I am seeing him, he was in the London

:11:26. > :11:31.Olympic, and I am very happy to see him coming here in Kenya, and also

:11:31. > :11:36.when he come I train with him, so I get motivation, so I can maybe want

:11:36. > :11:40.to make run like him. Freddie, he is one of the kids who wants to

:11:40. > :11:45.learn more. He is just, he is a real nice guy. He will come 20

:11:45. > :11:51.minute, half an hour before, you will do stretching and he will wait

:11:51. > :11:56.for me. Even fi am running late, Freddie we, will go on a run. He

:11:56. > :12:02.will get drop and normally when they gorpbgs they retired the next

:12:02. > :12:07.day, he keeps coming back, he wants it, he wants to become a champion.

:12:07. > :12:11.So many world class Kenyans, we pass them every day, but you prefer

:12:11. > :12:16.to run with someone like Freddie and do your own thing. Like to do

:12:16. > :12:20.my own thing. You run with other guy, some do different days'

:12:20. > :12:25.session, I the other day I met one the group guys and did my long

:12:25. > :12:29.tempo, a couple of cars, which is 10k and slightly flatter, so we did

:12:29. > :12:38.that tempo run there, and there was six or seven of u and I guilt them

:12:38. > :12:44.doing the Mobot. Does everyone do the mow dot now. Yes. -- Mobot.

:12:44. > :12:47.What about Birmingham? A few years ago, three, four years ago you ran

:12:47. > :12:52.pretty quick over 3,000. I don't think I am going to run that quick.

:12:52. > :12:57.I am going to do what I need to do. Get the legs turning. I have good

:12:57. > :13:01.memories of Birmingham, so I am looking forward. I was watching you

:13:01. > :13:07.today on this dirt track which doesn't give much back, you were

:13:07. > :13:11.shifting, you could run pretty quick if you wanted to. It Albert

:13:11. > :13:15.is always asking us, it is there to run fast, this time of the year you

:13:15. > :13:21.are not there to run really fast you are there to run, get a good

:13:21. > :13:26.race and then what you want to do, to run fast, in the summer. For me,

:13:26. > :13:32.I want to run fast in the summer. I like to see myself when where you

:13:32. > :13:36.want to go close to see what you can run, fast time, will you have

:13:36. > :13:42.good pace, and I haven't said much, but I like to see, you know, see

:13:42. > :13:50.what I can do for 5,000 and 10,000. See if we can go closer for the

:13:51. > :13:55.world record. Two Olympic gold medals but his ambition un

:13:55. > :13:59.dimmished. This is like the next chapter in his career, as a true

:13:59. > :14:03.global superstar. It is. If you said the medals have been won, now

:14:03. > :14:08.it is about management of his expectation, what is left to do on

:14:08. > :14:12.his wish list, but more importantly making sure he strikes that balance,

:14:12. > :14:16.and that has to be right. He is formidable and we eagerly look to

:14:16. > :14:20.see what he is doing. Colin, how do you think he is coping with this

:14:20. > :14:24.new found status? It is nice he goes away and concentrates on what

:14:24. > :14:28.he needs to do. It is his bread and butter, to prepare for the

:14:28. > :14:35.championships and race well. What he will look to do is run very fast,

:14:35. > :14:38.he has a couple of fast 5,000 and 10,000 in him. Steve Cram and Paula

:14:38. > :14:45.Radcliffe will be calling this one. Steve, you were out in Kenya, what

:14:45. > :14:49.kind of frame of mind is he in? I think I think it changed, I was

:14:49. > :14:53.there for the latter part of the trip. He has only just come home

:14:53. > :14:57.three or four days ago. When he first went there he needed to be in

:14:57. > :15:03.Kenya. He had taken a while to settle down after the Olympic game,

:15:03. > :15:07.to get back to being an athlete, to what he know, when he first turned

:15:07. > :15:10.up he felt he had catching up to do as he got better, he started to

:15:10. > :15:14.relax, you can see how relaxed he was in the interview, he is looking

:15:14. > :15:19.forward to the rest of the season, with a certain amount of relish, I

:15:19. > :15:24.think. I was surprised when he started talking about world records,

:15:24. > :15:29.he wants to attack this season. Paula, that world record of a 5,000

:15:29. > :15:36.do you think he has got that in his mind? I think he has it in his mind

:15:36. > :15:41.to get as close to it as he can over 5,000 and 10,000 metres. I

:15:41. > :15:44.think he he feels he has more potential. When he is talking about

:15:44. > :15:49.getting back into train, it is not just the fact he is getting back

:15:49. > :15:54.from Olympic champion, he is a new father as well and he hasn't seen

:15:54. > :16:04.the twins, he is excited to get back home, see the twins, race well

:16:04. > :16:14.

:16:14. > :16:22.and keep racing well because he has expectant crowd is ready, as well.

:16:22. > :16:30.It is fairly domestic, with one or two French men thrown in, and one

:16:30. > :16:34.American, Andrew Poore. We will see if he lives up to his name or not.

:16:34. > :16:39.Some of them may hope that Mo would fancy going a little quicker than

:16:39. > :16:45.most of us would expect, because the qualifying time is fairly tough.

:16:45. > :16:50.I am not sure Mo will be setting that as pacemaker for anyone today.

:16:50. > :16:58.It is a case of him being in a position to build on today, to get

:16:58. > :17:02.a good win under his belt. A big have marathon for him next

:17:02. > :17:08.week, as we heard earlier on we will see him in London running the

:17:08. > :17:12.first half of the London Marriott - - London Marathon this year. We do

:17:12. > :17:16.not need Mo to be brilliant today, we want him to be bullied at the

:17:16. > :17:21.World Championships and repeat what he did in London. It is good to see

:17:21. > :17:28.him here, and he is the start of this afternoon's proceedings.

:17:28. > :17:33.But mention one or two others, the likes of -- the likes of Tom

:17:34. > :17:37.Humphries, Jonathan Mellor, as well. We opportunity to go to the

:17:37. > :17:47.European indoors is there, but it is tough, they will have to attack

:17:47. > :18:01.

:18:01. > :18:04.this race. It will take one or two 15 laps. I am pretty sure I can

:18:04. > :18:10.already see here a few cheers and roars from the youngsters in the

:18:10. > :18:15.crowd. They just want to cheer him round all the way. No surprise that

:18:15. > :18:18.Mo has immediately taken a position at the rear of the field. He did

:18:18. > :18:21.just get off the aeroplane on Wednesday, I think it was, and

:18:22. > :18:26.Pollok was talking about, when you have been at altitude for that

:18:26. > :18:31.length of time, some people like to raise straight away, some people

:18:31. > :18:36.think a week after is the best time to raise. Next week is the be the

:18:36. > :18:41.big target, he said to me he will be looking to get closing -- to get

:18:41. > :18:46.close to running under an hour for the half-marathon. It will be an

:18:46. > :18:50.indication of how things have gone. He yes, I think it will be an

:18:50. > :18:55.indicator. Mo coming in a few days before the race from altitude is

:18:55. > :19:01.nothing new, he has done that many times before, he is very good at

:19:01. > :19:05.travelling and dropping into races. I think the pressure is on the

:19:05. > :19:11.other British guys here to see, do they just want to be part of the Mo

:19:11. > :19:21.shoal and just run around, or do they want to try and attack that

:19:21. > :19:26.

:19:26. > :19:33.time and get a qualifying time? -- under eight minutes indoors, but he

:19:33. > :19:39.has set off at a good pace. There is more far, just in a little

:19:39. > :19:44.closer order. I think he will be happy with the pace. I think he

:19:44. > :19:52.will be happy that Tom Humphries has set off, because you want a

:19:52. > :19:57.little indication. You probably saw in that film, particularly when he

:19:57. > :20:03.was running in that but track, he will be relishing having his spikes

:20:03. > :20:06.on today. Yes, and today a lot of people have come to see Mo, and

:20:06. > :20:10.that will lift him. He will not want to be there just to wave at

:20:10. > :20:15.the crowd, he wants to have a little bit of a stretch out, but

:20:15. > :20:19.not run as fast as he is probably capable of because he wants to run

:20:19. > :20:24.well next week. It is hard to run around slower than you have trained

:20:24. > :20:29.for, slower than the pace you know. Sometimes you go to kick and your

:20:29. > :20:33.legs do not respond because you have been running in that zone.

:20:34. > :20:43.Tom Humphries leads, Lee Emanuel tucked in behind him, Mo Farah

:20:43. > :20:53.moved into third place. They went through 800 in 2.08, 2.39

:20:53. > :20:54.

:20:54. > :20:59.for the 1,000m mark. Her as I said earlier on, 7.50 is required.

:20:59. > :21:02.The other lads need to be running faster than this, Mo is doing a bit

:21:02. > :21:06.of a favourite here. But that is good to see, he wants to test

:21:06. > :21:12.himself, Leah manual slotting in behind as Mo heads to the front

:21:12. > :21:16.with nine laps to go. Don't forget, Mo is a team person, he likes to be

:21:16. > :21:20.with the team and in the training camp, and he knows a lot of these

:21:20. > :21:24.guys, he knows they want to try and run their times. I don't think he

:21:24. > :21:28.will go out of his way to be a pacemaker, but I don't think he

:21:28. > :21:34.will sit back if he feels they have the time to do that. Get in there

:21:34. > :21:37.and help by pulling them along a little bit. There are only one or

:21:38. > :21:47.two who may have been a bit of a danger if they were a bit fitter,

:21:48. > :21:48.

:21:48. > :21:52.Florian Carvalho, his one 1,500m race indoors was not that

:21:52. > :21:58.impressive, but even good runners will struggle to hold on to Mo

:21:58. > :22:02.Farah when he is in flow. A big summer of athletics ahead. We're

:22:02. > :22:07.all looking forward to the World Championships. Don't forget, we

:22:07. > :22:14.have the European team championships. That is the third

:22:14. > :22:21.week in June. I don't know if that is in Mo's plans or not, but it

:22:21. > :22:26.would be great if he was there. Mo has picked up the pace here, the

:22:26. > :22:29.crowd is enjoying that, they are loving the opportunity. We saw him

:22:29. > :22:34.straight after the Olympic Games, but the first time this here day

:22:34. > :22:41.are getting the chance to see the double Olympic champion. -- the

:22:41. > :22:46.first time in 2013. I think it is important to Mo, as well, to be

:22:46. > :22:50.here. Maybe he felt when he went away to Kenya he wanted to commit

:22:50. > :22:55.to a high standard of race today, because he did not know what shape

:22:55. > :23:05.he would be in, but he wanted to run in front of a British crowd

:23:05. > :23:11.

:23:11. > :23:21.it and those clips, that Mo is putting in the mileage in training,

:23:21. > :23:21.

:23:22. > :23:26.and we are seeing a little bit of that today. The only man who has

:23:26. > :23:36.the class to try and threaten him there, we Emmanuel just dropped off

:23:36. > :23:42.

:23:42. > :23:46.Florian Carvalho hurt. He is pushing himself, but he is

:23:46. > :23:52.not definitely pulling all of the burners out yet. Florian Carvalho

:23:52. > :23:56.looks as if he is working a lot harder there. He is slightly faster

:23:56. > :24:06.than Mo's running, but he has that piece, probably not the change of

:24:06. > :24:06.

:24:06. > :24:10.pace Mo has that we sock out in Kenya. -- that we sort out in Kenya.

:24:10. > :24:17.Look at those kids, they are loving it, doing the Mobot and everything

:24:17. > :24:20.else, really getting into this race. Supporting Mo Farah, but he has not

:24:20. > :24:28.won it yet, Florian Carvalho holding on. He has not kicked

:24:28. > :24:34.really hard yet, a long gap to the Emmanuel in third place. Mo has

:24:34. > :24:37.some work to do, although in perceptibly that gap is growing.

:24:37. > :24:40.He doesn't look as though he is taking, he is just gradually

:24:40. > :24:47.winding it up a little bit. I don't think he has lunch did yet, but

:24:47. > :24:50.there is growing delight there. -- I don't think he has lunched it yet.

:24:51. > :25:00.Florian Carvalho is trying to start a little bit of a kick, getting a

:25:00. > :25:05.little closer, just what went Mo starts to go. -- just watched when

:25:05. > :25:10.Mo starts to go. That is what we expected, is he going to put on a

:25:10. > :25:15.bit of a sure in this last lap? Now the gap starts to widen, a little

:25:15. > :25:20.look behind from Mo Farah. The crowd absolutely loving this.

:25:20. > :25:24.Stretching away down the back straight. The sort of pace that he

:25:24. > :25:29.is going to need in the summer. Will it carry him to victory once

:25:29. > :25:34.again in the World Championships? Now we don't mind, that is a long

:25:34. > :25:40.way off. Today has all been about the start of his 2013 campaign, and

:25:40. > :25:45.Mo Farah begins with a victory. 7.42, an impressive last kilometres

:25:45. > :25:53.of 2.29. Lee Emanuel, agonisingly close to the qualifying time. Maybe

:25:53. > :25:58.just within a second. A shame for the Emmanuel, a good run from him.

:25:58. > :26:05.Well, we always said, more far and run a slow pace and guided back to

:26:05. > :26:10.get a good time. -- Mo Farah can run a slow pace. Mo Farah, back to

:26:10. > :26:15.winning ways, we would not expect anything else SFA stop a good,

:26:15. > :26:19.solid performance. As much as that was blowing away the cobwebs, there

:26:19. > :26:23.was a little bit of work in there for Mo Farah. But he will have

:26:23. > :26:33.enjoyed that, he will be happy with that time and the wind, and we get

:26:33. > :26:38.

:26:38. > :26:41.was 3.49. Definitely, he stretched himself, he put the work in. I

:26:41. > :26:48.think maybe he wanted to ask some questions and have some fun, as

:26:48. > :26:54.well. He wanted to feel like he has come away knowing he has had a

:26:54. > :27:04.workout. He probably has another workout to do and the run down --

:27:04. > :27:08.

:27:08. > :27:13.What about this reception Mo? I have never heard anything like it.

:27:13. > :27:17.That was tremendous for you. That was great, great support from the

:27:17. > :27:22.crowd. I know that you feel it is something of a duty now for you to

:27:22. > :27:26.give something back for all the support you got for winning two

:27:26. > :27:33.gold medals. You are in fine winning form again. It was

:27:33. > :27:38.brilliant, great stuff. What is next for you on the agenda? I am

:27:38. > :27:45.doing the New Orleans have marathon next week, and then I am running

:27:45. > :27:48.the London half-marathon, half of the course, in a pole. We gave that

:27:48. > :27:52.music on the top of the short today, but you will be part of the London

:27:52. > :27:56.Marathon, tell me about the thinking of doing half of the race

:27:56. > :27:59.there and what it will mean for you are heading towards Moscow.

:28:00. > :28:03.definitely means a lot, it is good practice. It is not just about

:28:03. > :28:09.racing, it is dealing with everything, waking up early in the

:28:09. > :28:13.morning, breakfast, racing, the media, everything else, if you can

:28:13. > :28:17.practise, by not? And of course, giving back to the crowd at the way

:28:18. > :28:22.you have since winning the medals two yes, it is amazing, I have had

:28:22. > :28:27.great support from everyone, brilliant. Congratulations on all

:28:27. > :28:34.you have achieved so far, well done today. Thank you.

:28:34. > :28:42.Yes, well done indeed, Mo Farah. Doing what we all expected him to

:28:42. > :28:46.do, to get away nice and clearly from this with a good solid

:28:46. > :28:53.performance. He looked pretty good, 7.42, straight off the aeroplane,

:28:53. > :28:58.is not bad at all. I think he will run very well next week when he has

:28:58. > :29:03.had more time to recover. A bit of a shame behind him, there were some

:29:03. > :29:07.really good performances that will not quite be rewarded with slots in

:29:07. > :29:17.the European Indoor Championships. It is not on Mo's agenda to go to

:29:17. > :29:21.Gothenburg, a bit of pity. That is not on his agenda, Florian Carvalho

:29:21. > :29:24.ran really well, a good performance ran really well, a good performance

:29:24. > :29:29.from him. Lee Emanuel, just outside the qualifying time, a personal

:29:29. > :29:39.best from Tom Humphries and James Wilkinson. Steve Scully and just

:29:39. > :29:42.

:29:42. > :29:43.behind him. -- Steven Scullion. That is it, Mo Farah finishes on

:29:43. > :29:52.That is it, Mo Farah finishes on top as ever, and we look forward to

:29:52. > :29:57.seeing how he gets own next week in New Orleans.

:29:57. > :30:02.Yes, that is the best way to start. Denise and gone, he takes his

:30:02. > :30:07.responsibility very seriously two British athletics, doesn't he?

:30:07. > :30:11.he did not have to be here but he wanted to. You heard at the

:30:11. > :30:17.reception, it was glorious. He is absorbing all that, he is growing

:30:17. > :30:20.into the athlete, the ambassador that we really want and need.

:30:20. > :30:24.think that is really important, because it is a new stage in his

:30:24. > :30:31.career, there is a new pressure on him. To come here, perhaps not the

:30:31. > :30:37.strongest field, to fill at once and expectation. He always enjoy

:30:37. > :30:41.competing, athlete strain to compete. Mo has really adopted his

:30:41. > :30:51.responsibility very well indeed. He has come here and enjoyed the

:30:51. > :30:55.environment. He has put on a little bit of a show. No athlete wants to

:30:55. > :31:01.be at the end of the programme, you want to get your job done and relax.

:31:01. > :31:05.But Mo keeps that professionalism about him. Talking of

:31:05. > :31:12.responsibilities, your responsibility is to choose the up

:31:12. > :31:19.-- British athletic performance today. Who is it? Shara Proctor.

:31:19. > :31:24.Her six metres 78 performance was outstanding. She had 6.44 coming

:31:24. > :31:27.into the competition, but to produce this was, to me, a very

:31:27. > :31:32.solid performers, one of the best jumps in the world this year. I was

:31:32. > :31:37.quite happy and confident that we could say our performance was the

:31:37. > :31:43.British performance of the day. had a disappointing performance in

:31:43. > :31:47.2012 at one didn't, so she had a point to prove. Yes, she had big

:31:47. > :31:53.distances, qualified big, but in the final could not get her run

:31:54. > :31:57.together. It is great to see a starting so well in 2013.

:31:57. > :32:00.Especially here at the indoor athletics championships. Also you

:32:00. > :32:06.have Robbie Grabarz and Holly Bleasdale.

:32:06. > :32:11.You us, he was beaten by a Russian again, he will be frustrated, but

:32:11. > :32:16.when they go to Gothenburg itself they can relax, qualify and raise

:32:16. > :32:20.their game to deliver those medals we now expect of them. Certainly in

:32:20. > :32:25.terms of the headlines, it was all about more fat today, he came and

:32:25. > :32:33.delivered, taking his responsibility seriously as our

:32:33. > :32:40.ambassador for British athletics and that crowd loved it. Stay tuned
