:02:34. > :02:36.

:02:36. > :02:46.know how long. Andrew 0 saggy coming through. Bernard Lagat

:02:46. > :02:46.

:02:46. > :02:51.coming through for the USA. That is a brilliant run from the American.

:02:51. > :03:01.Sorry for that shaky start to the new year! There is much talent in

:03:01. > :03:10.

:03:10. > :03:20.Denise Lewis is the Olympic champion! Did dazzle in smile

:03:20. > :03:28.appears. It is Jackson going away! Jackson takes its and I make that a

:03:28. > :03:37.new world record. A new world record for Paula Radcliffe. The

:03:37. > :03:43.best yet! What an array of talent. We have to dig back quite far into

:03:43. > :03:49.the archive for some of that footage! Paula, you are still going.

:03:49. > :03:54.Give us an update on the injury. is slow going. It was a big surgery.

:03:54. > :03:59.I have to be back running by this point, but I'm only just starting

:03:59. > :04:06.he's into it. It will be a while before I am able to compete again.

:04:06. > :04:13.How about indoor athletics, have you ever run indoors? Only once, in

:04:13. > :04:23.1992. Be needed a certain number of starters because Liz McColgan was

:04:23. > :04:27.going for a world records. Denise, London 2012 was such a big focus.

:04:27. > :04:33.How hard when that before these that it is set their goals?

:04:33. > :04:38.depends on the athletes. If you had a fantastic 2012, then it would be

:04:38. > :04:45.a problem. If you didn't, it is a chance to rebuild and it is a

:04:45. > :04:55.chance now to realise there is life after 2012. We do have Glascote

:04:55. > :04:55.

:04:55. > :05:01.2014. How important is that for 2014 -- is 2014? It is incredible.

:05:01. > :05:06.Another massive global event. The crowd are very enthusiastic. The

:05:06. > :05:11.athletes want to deliver. It is the momentum that we want to see. So

:05:11. > :05:17.far, fingers crossed, it seems to be working. Let's have a look at

:05:17. > :05:20.what is coming up this afternoon. It is a team competition. Grip

:05:20. > :05:25.Britain and Northern Ireland taking on the Commonwealth Select team,

:05:26. > :05:35.Germany, Russia and United States. Five points for a win and the team

:05:36. > :05:40.

:05:40. > :05:49.with the most points at the end is Perri Shakes-Drayton going in the

:05:49. > :05:59.400 metres. Look at those last four races. We have Carmelita Jeter, one

:05:59. > :06:07.of the greatest of all time. We have a series of Paralympic end --

:06:07. > :06:15.Paralympic events for the first There are bound to be a lot of

:06:15. > :06:19.start of season nerves. Let's go down to the warm-up area. We are

:06:19. > :06:28.going through to the warm-up area. This is a bit like the Wizard of

:06:28. > :06:37.Oz! Robbie Grabarz is here warming up for the big event. He is team

:06:37. > :06:43.captain today. What is it like to be captain? It is pretty special to

:06:43. > :06:48.be given the title of team captain at the start of the new season.

:06:48. > :06:57.Been team captain for the first event this special. Hopefully if I

:06:57. > :07:02.do well here I can be team captain again at Gateshead in the summer.

:07:03. > :07:07.That is another thing to look forward to future in the year. What

:07:07. > :07:11.will that be like going back to the Olympic Park? Absolutely fantastic.

:07:11. > :07:21.I think it will draw in a lot of people who didn't get tickets for

:07:21. > :07:26.the Olympics. Your goals this year? A medal it everything I go to, to

:07:27. > :07:34.be honest. I want the British title to myself. All the very best today.

:07:34. > :07:39.Thanks for talking to us. I have reverted to the it normal

:07:39. > :07:44.microphone! It is exciting about the Diamond League going to the

:07:44. > :07:49.Olympic Stadium. Since the Olympic Games, there have been so negative

:07:49. > :07:53.headlines about what will happen to that stadium. It is great news. We

:07:53. > :08:00.want to build on what we had last year and inspire more people to

:08:00. > :08:06.come into a athletics. Hopefully, we will fill that stadium and

:08:06. > :08:16.people can relive the memories of 2012 and create new memories. It is

:08:16. > :08:16.

:08:16. > :08:22.exciting. Denise, Robbie Grabarz had a very good game in 2012.

:08:22. > :08:25.really surprised himself the last couple of years. From having no

:08:25. > :08:31.funding to standing on the Olympic podium, that is a message for a lot

:08:31. > :08:38.of athletes. Work hard and believe in yourself. I think from this time

:08:38. > :08:43.on we will see Robbie Grabarz pushing forward. The couple of that

:08:43. > :08:49.the two didn't perform as well in London, Perri Shakes-Drayton and

:08:49. > :08:54.Dai Greene. How important is it for him to get some confidence back?

:08:54. > :08:59.lot of it is that word, confident. You need to mix with world-class

:08:59. > :09:05.athletes. You need to know that when you work hard you can achieve.

:09:05. > :09:09.He has always very confident. He has been assured of his

:09:09. > :09:13.preparations this year, the way he wasn't last year because of his

:09:13. > :09:17.injury. He will be excited, although slightly worried but what

:09:17. > :09:23.he can actually do. Perri Shakes- Drayton, we were all disappointed

:09:23. > :09:29.for her in London. Totally gutted. In the London Grand Prix last year

:09:29. > :09:34.she ran fantastic leaf. A personal best. She had high hopes going into

:09:35. > :09:42.London. Let's hope she has a great season this year. Timed-out

:09:42. > :09:52.reversed race. We say hello to Andrew Carter, Paul Dickenson and

:09:52. > :09:59.

:09:59. > :10:04.hello to everybody. Paul and I have been to Glasgow many times, but not

:10:04. > :10:11.to this fantastic arena. This is a great event to start with. Erik

:10:11. > :10:16.Balnuweit will compete for Germany, Sergey Shubenkov, the European

:10:16. > :10:24.champion, for Russia. Shamar Sands is running for the Commonwealth

:10:24. > :10:27.team. Gianni Frankis for Britain and Jeff Porter for the USA. Will

:10:27. > :10:37.keep reiterate think the fact that it is very early in the season and

:10:37. > :10:39.

:10:39. > :10:45.this is the first race for many of these athletes. Erik Balnuweit has

:10:45. > :10:55.had some great hurdle runners in the past, but they are struggling

:10:55. > :10:56.

:10:56. > :11:06.at the moment. Sergey Shubenkov, what d'you he had! She is just 22

:11:06. > :11:09.

:11:09. > :11:15.years of age. He has some career ahead of him. Shamar Sands, he is

:11:15. > :11:19.their record holder in the Bahamas. His best, 7.49, whippets and third

:11:19. > :11:24.on the British all-time list, that gives you an indication of his

:11:24. > :11:34.calibre. There is Gianni Frankis, it is an opportunity for him.

:11:34. > :11:46.

:11:46. > :11:50.Coached by Tony Jarrett. Jeff Porter from the USA. He had a race,

:11:50. > :11:56.ran 6.87, before coming here today. Jeff Porter had a great year last

:11:56. > :12:02.year. Got very close to breaking 13 seconds. This will be very tough

:12:02. > :12:08.for Gianni Frankis. Kenny get written off to a good start? Three

:12:08. > :12:18.world class hurdlers with him here. Sergey Shubenkov, European champion,

:12:18. > :12:32.

:12:32. > :12:42.Jeff Porter on his rights, and Look at Erik Balnuweit on the far

:12:42. > :12:47.

:12:47. > :12:51.side! The Russian gets it! Almost a shock at the very beginning. Sergey

:12:51. > :12:59.Shubenkov just had enough. Reiko -- keep talking about this man's

:12:59. > :13:06.talent and ability. 7.63. That will give him a European indoor

:13:06. > :13:11.qualifying time straight off the the beginning of the season. The

:13:11. > :13:19.world outdoor championships will be in Moscow this year, so that will

:13:19. > :13:24.be a target for him. Colin Jackson, you will have been watching this.

:13:24. > :13:30.Sergey Shubenkov, slow out of the blocks but a good start. Great

:13:30. > :13:40.quality in this. When he decides to start moving forward, she is really

:13:40. > :13:43.

:13:43. > :13:48.strong. Gianni Frankis out of the blocks, good explosive start. He

:13:48. > :13:53.made a couple of mistakes, but still keeping nice and focused,

:13:53. > :14:01.which is what we like to see. That is always important. A good solid

:14:01. > :14:09.performance from him early indoors. He came in late, of course. That is

:14:09. > :14:14.not always easy to do that. He was good out of the blocks. That was a

:14:14. > :14:19.bad run from Shamar Sands, given his ability. Jeff Porter just

:14:19. > :14:24.dipping for third in the end there. Jeff Porter is the husband of

:14:24. > :14:34.Tiffany Porter, who ran so well for Great Britain at the world indoors

:14:34. > :14:43.

:14:43. > :14:48.last year, taking the silver medal. So, the Russians off to a good

:14:48. > :14:58.start. According to the world ranking, British athletics is in

:14:58. > :14:58.

:14:58. > :15:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:15:41. > :15:48.good help -- is in pretty good Phillips Idowu was injured last

:15:48. > :15:53.year. He is going to Zambezi with Comic Relief. We are strong in the

:15:53. > :15:58.field events, but we saw Jessica Ennis, she is in between field and

:15:58. > :16:03.track. She has been in the news about her coach and his role with

:16:03. > :16:13.UK Athletics. Yes, it is an interesting one, but not on

:16:13. > :16:17.familiar. He has lost his job. Jessica Ennis might have to chip in

:16:17. > :16:23.and pay for her coaching. It is not unheard of, it does happen, but it

:16:23. > :16:28.is not the culture we expect, and that is the issue. We are going to

:16:28. > :16:33.watch Andy Murray tomorrow, I do not know what Andy Murray pays the

:16:33. > :16:37.likes of Ivan Lendl, his fitness coaches and whatever, but you

:16:37. > :16:44.imagine it runs into hundreds of thousands of pounds. That is

:16:44. > :16:48.unheard-of in athletics. My opinion is that we need to look at how the

:16:48. > :16:52.coaching structure in British athletics is set up. At the elite

:16:52. > :16:57.end, there is an issue. I take my daughter to the local club, there

:16:57. > :17:03.is also an issue. There are not enough good coaches. We cannot

:17:03. > :17:10.afford to lose them in this system. If we are going to be professional,

:17:10. > :17:16.we need to reflect that in having a paid quality coaching system. It

:17:16. > :17:20.does not work. That focus on this afternoon, Holly Bleasdale in the

:17:20. > :17:26.pole vault shortly. She had a brilliant indoor season. The

:17:26. > :17:31.outdoors did not pan out in the way she hoped. From my point of view, I

:17:31. > :17:36.did not think she maximised what she had created indoors. She will

:17:36. > :17:41.have been disappointed with the Olympics, how she performed, and

:17:41. > :17:45.the manner in which she conducted herself. But she has qualified for

:17:45. > :17:49.the world outdoor season championships, she is looking good,

:17:50. > :17:59.and let's see how she gets on. will see her shortly, but first,

:18:00. > :18:03.

:18:03. > :18:12.let's get up-to-date with the field States, her first attempt, 4.20.

:18:12. > :18:22.She cracks it. A very simple pole vault. She has got a lifetime best

:18:22. > :18:22.

:18:22. > :18:30.of 4.6 tattoo. You would expect for 0.20 to be very easy indeed. Right

:18:30. > :18:34.next to the crowd. They are going to get cheered on. Looking forward

:18:34. > :18:41.to seeing Holly Bleasdale, she is the third highest pole vaulter

:18:41. > :18:49.indoors all time. Another athlete who has competed many times in

:18:49. > :18:54.British colours, Yamile Aldama. The Pan American champion, the world

:18:54. > :19:00.indoor champion. The Pan-American champion when she was competing for

:19:00. > :19:10.Cuba. One of the best in the world, she is 40 years ought now, a class

:19:10. > :19:11.

:19:11. > :19:21.veteran. You can see the redline. That is where the leading market is

:19:21. > :19:23.

:19:23. > :19:28.so far, so a bit under par. Early season for her and the rest. She is

:19:28. > :19:36.so well balanced. She looks a bit slow at this stage in the season,

:19:36. > :19:41.but I am sure there is a lot more to come for this superb athlete.

:19:41. > :19:51.She is coached in north London, she has been there for many years. Her

:19:51. > :20:06.

:20:06. > :20:13.best this season. This is Jenny She accelerates into the board. A

:20:13. > :20:19.bit flat in the middle phase, but she stretches out there. That looks

:20:19. > :20:28.close to 40 metres. That is the minimum you would expect these

:20:28. > :20:38.athletes to compete at -- 14 metres. To give you an idea of where the

:20:38. > :20:41.

:20:41. > :20:48.world rankings are, 14 metres would get you inside the top 10, just.

:20:48. > :20:58.Jenny AAL, 13.69, but 13.98 in the second round, she extends her lead.

:20:58. > :21:26.

:21:26. > :21:33.That was the best jump in the late change for the home team.

:21:33. > :21:39.Serita Solomon comes in. She had been due to race in Bratislava.

:21:39. > :21:49.Athletes of real class beside her. Danielle Carruthers took the silver

:21:49. > :22:01.

:22:01. > :22:07.medal at the World Championships change from her intended event in

:22:07. > :22:13.Bratislava. Last year, she was ranked fourth in the British times,

:22:13. > :22:19.behind Jessica Ennis, Tiffany Porter and an Claxton. Danielle

:22:19. > :22:22.Carruthers. She had a difficult time last year. She won this

:22:22. > :22:28.corresponding race but she was hampered by a foot injury and

:22:28. > :22:38.failed to make the team for the Olympics. Cindy Roleder, a bronze

:22:38. > :22:45.medal at the under 232 years ago. Tatyana Dektaryeva. She has also

:22:45. > :22:50.had one outing this year, but a more modest 8.39. The Jamaican,

:22:50. > :22:56.Andrea Bliss. She just missed out at the Commonwealth Games in 2010,

:22:56. > :23:01.she finished in fourth place. It will be very interesting to see how

:23:02. > :23:11.Danielle Carruthers gets on, she has not raced since July. The class

:23:12. > :23:49.

:23:49. > :23:53.athlete on paper. The silence is from Danielle Carruthers. She

:23:53. > :23:59.powered through in the end. Danielle Carruthers slowed in the

:23:59. > :24:07.final few metres. A good run from Serita Solomon. Cindy Roleder takes

:24:08. > :24:13.it, and a good start for the German. A decent time as well. Danielle

:24:13. > :24:19.Carruthers started well. She faded slightly. She had not raced for a

:24:19. > :24:24.long time. She could not stay with Cindy Roleder towards the end. It

:24:24. > :24:34.was a good start from Danielle Carruthers, as it was from Serita

:24:34. > :24:44.Solomon. From here, Cindy Roleder eases up on to her shoulder.

:24:44. > :24:45.

:24:45. > :24:54.Through at the last. Serita Solomon, a good third place. Colin Jackson,

:24:54. > :25:00.Denise Lewis, accomplished hurdlers watching this. Yes, we are watching

:25:00. > :25:07.this. Danielle Carruthers shoving it that she is a bit rusty, she is

:25:07. > :25:13.still not quite into the season. A lack of racing, a lack of training

:25:13. > :25:18.really hard. She is working really hard, but the crispness that we are

:25:18. > :25:24.used to seeing from her is just not there. A strong, powerful athlete,

:25:24. > :25:32.but it was not her day-to-day. was pipped to the line by Cindy

:25:33. > :25:42.Roleder. Danielle Carruthers might come to work in Loughborough. Her

:25:43. > :25:51.

:25:51. > :25:56.coach is part of the new set-up In the middle of the infield, we

:25:56. > :26:01.have got the high jump. Robbie Grabarz will be coming up shortly.

:26:01. > :26:04.Holly Bleasdale will be jumping again shortly. Let's hear from her.

:26:04. > :26:09.You are one of the first British athletes to get a taste of this

:26:09. > :26:15.arena. It is the first time I have been here, I am really happy to

:26:15. > :26:20.compete here. I cannot wait. had a fantastic indoor season last

:26:20. > :26:26.season. A tremendous Olympic Games. What are you looking forward to

:26:26. > :26:33.this year? I liked being indoors! I cannot wait to compete here, in

:26:33. > :26:38.Birmingham and in Sheffield. Then, building up to Gothenburg. The

:26:38. > :26:44.stadium is full, so the crowd will be fantastic. Then, the World

:26:44. > :26:48.Championships in Moscow? Definitely. Gothenburg and then the world

:26:48. > :26:58.outdoor championships. I have already qualified, so I can take an

:26:58. > :27:06.

:27:06. > :27:13.chipper indeed. I was watching her warm up, she warmed up well. She

:27:13. > :27:22.looked very smooth and very strong and technically very proficient.

:27:22. > :27:25.Mary Saxer has already cleared 4.20. She has gone over comfortably. That

:27:25. > :27:35.is the sort of height she was warming up at the earlier this

:27:35. > :27:37.

:27:37. > :27:41.afternoon. A confident start. You would expect somebody who is second

:27:42. > :27:51.in the world this year to clear 4.35 comfortably, and she has done

:27:52. > :27:53.

:27:53. > :27:57.exactly that. Very nice indeed. Holly will contend for the major

:27:57. > :28:07.honours and maximum points for the British team later this afternoon.

:28:07. > :28:24.

:28:24. > :28:33.Here goes Mary Saxer, trying to Two attempts, two successes. Very

:28:33. > :28:43.good indeed. Holly Bleasdale really is looking very smooth indeed. Mary

:28:43. > :28:50.

:29:56. > :30:01.now he has the medals it is all about running quickly? It is most

:30:01. > :30:05.important to win championships, win races. I know what he would love to

:30:05. > :30:13.have some of the times the other people have run, and he is capable

:30:13. > :30:19.of. He has a fantastic range, but he wants to get that fast time that

:30:19. > :30:24.the 5000 metres. Before he does that up to the marathon, that would

:30:24. > :30:32.be one of the things he but once. He will look at the world lists and

:30:32. > :30:37.want to be a bit higher up. I ran faster in the other races after

:30:37. > :30:41.going to the marathon, so he might do that. I just don't think he is

:30:51. > :30:52.

:30:52. > :30:58.be Moscow. Attacking the fast times would mean debts he could lead the

:34:08. > :34:14.now. Lynsey Sharp realises the danger, feels the speed coming on.

:34:14. > :34:19.She is getting into a good position down the back straight. Ekaterina

:34:19. > :34:24.Poistogova is controlling things from the front. It will be

:34:24. > :34:30.interesting to see how Lynsey Sharp does Cup, she only came down from

:34:30. > :34:35.high altitude in Kenya a couple of days ago. She will be feeling tired.

:34:36. > :34:42.Sonja Mosler goes past Winny Chebet. Lynsey Sharp are still in

:34:42. > :34:47.contention. Look at Lynsey Sharp! The crowd roaring her down the back

:34:47. > :34:52.straight. Ekaterina Poistogova still looks comfortable to me.

:34:52. > :35:02.Lynsey Sharp are starting to look a bit heavy legs. The Russian will

:35:02. > :35:07.take this one comfortably. Lynsey Sharp just run out of third place.

:35:07. > :35:12.Geena Gall ticking second. Sonja Mosler got stronger in the last 50

:35:12. > :35:18.metres. But went with the script really. She has already had a good

:35:18. > :35:25.couple of races this year and Ekaterina Poistogova had a

:35:25. > :35:31.fantastic season last year. She is a very strong athlete. Last year

:35:31. > :35:37.rushing indoors had five of the world's top 10. Already this year

:35:37. > :35:43.she has come out and run very quickly over 800 metres. She is

:35:43. > :35:48.definitely coming into form. Lynsey Sharp is just starting to kick-off

:35:48. > :35:53.for indoor campaign. That will give her a bit of confidence. She did

:35:53. > :35:57.get caught on the line by Sonja Mosler, who finished very strongly.

:35:57. > :36:07.It is hard when you come straight back from altitude. The wise thing

:36:07. > :36:10.

:36:10. > :36:15.to do normally is due race straight away. -- E race straight away.

:36:15. > :36:24.Hopefully, Lynsey Sharp will be heading for a good year. It is good

:36:24. > :36:31.for her to go out and see how things work in Kenya. She has

:36:31. > :36:36.worked hard. Be trained at a great height in Kenya. I'm sure she would

:36:36. > :36:41.have struggled to adapt in the first week. Hopefully, we will see

:36:41. > :36:50.great benefits in the next couple of weeks. Lynsey Sharp is now with

:36:50. > :36:58.Paula was talking about coming from altitude and it is difficult to

:36:58. > :37:04.adapt sometimes. It was my first time at altitude. I was undecided

:37:04. > :37:11.whether or not to run here. I had if you good sessions out there. I

:37:11. > :37:17.didn't know how it was going to adapt. I felt OK, it is just my

:37:17. > :37:21.first indoor for five years. I'm just a bit rusty. I'm sure it was

:37:21. > :37:25.Special this being the first meeting at this venue. The

:37:25. > :37:30.Commonwealth Games will be a big thing. That is the main reason why

:37:30. > :37:34.wanted to run here. It is a new venue and there was so much

:37:34. > :37:44.excitement around Glasgow. I heard it was amazing. I was almost in

:37:44. > :37:49.

:37:49. > :37:59.tears on the start line. Thanks for That time at the end was not as

:37:59. > :38:07.quick as it might have been. A personal best indoors for Lynsey

:38:07. > :38:14.Sharp. That is two wins for Russia on the track. Sergey Shubenkov want

:38:14. > :38:24.the men's 60-metre hurdles. But the leaders are Germany. Not a great

:38:24. > :38:33.

:38:33. > :38:38.start for group Britain. We have vault -- the pole-vault bar has

:38:38. > :38:48.moved up to 4.5 metres. The first person to clear it is the British

:38:48. > :38:52.

:38:52. > :39:00.No. 1! There were some of the best pole vaulters in the world's -- in

:39:00. > :39:05.the world in this competition. 4.5 metres is really flying! She looks

:39:06. > :39:10.really smooth and very powerful in the plant. Her technique on the

:39:10. > :39:15.pole is getting better and better as time goes on. It is hard to

:39:15. > :39:24.believe she is still only 21. Scott Simpson who she has been working

:39:24. > :39:33.with down in Cardiff... we now watch the Russian trying to join

:39:33. > :39:37.her in her first attempt. Yes, she has got it! So, she draws level

:39:37. > :39:47.with the Britain. She finished 4th and European Championships last

:39:47. > :39:50.

:39:50. > :39:58.year. Even Stevens with Holly Bleasdale at the moment! Holly

:39:59. > :40:08.Bleasdale was much higher than that above the bar.

:40:08. > :40:13.Coming up we have Kim Collins, former world champion at 100 metres.

:40:13. > :40:18.Lee McConnell goes in the women's 200 metres. Living in Glasgow, she

:40:18. > :40:28.is guaranteed to get a huge reception. Then of course the men's

:40:28. > :40:30.

:40:31. > :40:40.high jump with our Olympic bronze medallist, Robbie Grabarz. Lee

:40:41. > :40:42.

:40:42. > :40:48.You must be a very proud Scot today. The new arena is very good. The

:40:48. > :40:50.track is great. We are looking ahead not only to this season, but

:40:50. > :40:55.unsure you have denied on the Commonwealth Games next year.

:40:55. > :41:01.is all part of it. The new infrastructure is going up because

:41:01. > :41:05.of the Commonwealth Games. We now have great facilities in the city.

:41:05. > :41:10.Tell me about the nerves and what to go through at this point before

:41:10. > :41:18.you go out to compete? Indoors is not my speciality, so the nerves

:41:18. > :41:23.kick in about two weeks ago, if I'm honest! Nerves are good. It is

:41:23. > :41:29.adrenalin and we need that. That will create the good performances.

:41:29. > :41:39.Ensure the crowd will give you a great reception. Thank you. I hope

:41:39. > :42:19.

:42:19. > :42:26.so! Home goal, they should, commentary on this introduction!

:42:26. > :42:34.APPLAUSE. She is more used to the one lap

:42:35. > :42:44.outdoors. Margaret Adil we -- Magritte ideally won this race last

:42:45. > :42:51.

:42:51. > :42:56.year.. There is Cambrya Jones, just 22 but an athlete of some promise.

:42:56. > :43:06.Inna Weit was the German national champion last year at 200 metres

:43:06. > :43:15.

:43:15. > :43:25.outdoors. Olga Belkina is on the outside. She also goes in the 60

:43:25. > :43:29.

:43:29. > :43:33.metres later on. This is probably her favoured event, though. Lee

:43:33. > :43:42.McConnell will carry with their most of the support of the crowd. I

:43:42. > :43:52.am sure that will lift her. So, Lee McConnell in lane two. Cambrya

:43:52. > :43:56.

:43:56. > :44:02.Jones is in four, Lee McConnell in five and in a fight in six. -- Inna

:44:02. > :44:09.Weit in six. A clean start. Lee McConnell is trying to stay with

:44:09. > :44:18.the speed at the moment. No one is making too much of an impression.

:44:18. > :44:27.Margaret Adil he is starting to take advantage. Olga Belkina is

:44:27. > :44:32.going to take its underline from the British athlete in second. Olga

:44:32. > :44:37.Belkina is very strong in this event. Victory for the Russian. She

:44:37. > :44:45.time to finishing spurt beautifully. Margaret ran beautifully, but just

:44:45. > :44:52.couldn't hold on in the final few metres. Victory to Olga Belkina.

:44:52. > :44:57.22.41. That is a comfortable personal best indoors, but she

:44:57. > :45:05.hasn't won indoors in three years or so. Denise, what did you make of

:45:05. > :45:09.this? Margaret had a great start. She is not used to this big stage.

:45:09. > :45:12.She is only just started to come into her form in the last few

:45:12. > :45:17.seasons under the guidance of Linford Christie. She ran a

:45:17. > :45:22.commanding race. You could hardly ask for more from her at this stage.

:45:22. > :45:32.The technique was solid and she was holding her form. Olga Belkina was

:45:32. > :45:36.

:45:36. > :45:46.performances to a new level. She is confident now, she is going very

:45:46. > :45:52.well. Olga Belkina took it, We have just been shepherded away

:45:52. > :45:59.from the area, we are getting in the wake of everyone. A great start

:45:59. > :46:04.for the season. It is OK. I wanted to win, so I am a bit disappointed.

:46:04. > :46:07.Then you are coming into an event like this, you never know how your

:46:08. > :46:12.training will translate, but you should not be too hard on yourself.

:46:13. > :46:18.My training has been going well. Training in South Africa was really

:46:18. > :46:24.good, I am in really good shape, but it did not feel as move in here,

:46:24. > :46:30.I guess it is different from outside. I am a bit disappointed.

:46:30. > :46:34.But you have to move on. What is next for you? I do not know, I won

:46:35. > :46:44.to speak to my coach. I have got the trials in two weeks, so I will

:46:45. > :47:16.

:47:16. > :47:26.Lee McConnell will have enjoyed Germany. Great Britain and Northern

:47:26. > :47:40.

:47:40. > :47:50.Ireland with ground to make-up. done, Holly Bleasdale. She went

:47:50. > :47:54.over at the first attempt, and that applies pressure. Lisa Riseley

:47:54. > :48:00.finished in sixth place in the Olympic final. They know each other

:48:00. > :48:06.extremely well. Anastasia Savchenko it is a very competent pole vaulter

:48:06. > :48:16.as well. That is way above the bar. Perhaps there is a lot more to come

:48:16. > :48:20.

:48:20. > :48:30.We will continue our feature on our wish-list for 2013. This time,

:48:30. > :48:42.

:48:42. > :48:48.comes, running him down. It is a bronze medal for Great Britain, a

:48:48. > :48:58.bronze medal for Robbie Grabarz. Here is his chance to seize the

:48:58. > :49:04.

:49:04. > :49:11.I am not quite sure what happened to his neck there! The men's high

:49:11. > :49:15.jump is behind us. Robbie Grabarz will be happy about that. At the

:49:15. > :49:22.beginning of the show, he should he did not want to share the British

:49:22. > :49:28.record any more. He is very confident in what he can do. Last

:49:28. > :49:34.year was a benchmark. I am hoping he can just elevate himself and get

:49:34. > :49:41.awards to 0.40. We have not mentioned Usain Bolt yet, but we

:49:41. > :49:47.will now. Eusebio and Blake will be the king of 200 because. I love

:49:47. > :49:52.being at controversial! Two years ago, Yohan Blake and brandy to the

:49:52. > :49:57.hundred metres in Brussels, the second-fastest we ever saw, and he

:49:57. > :50:05.walked around the first turn. If he runs the distance more, you never

:50:05. > :50:09.know what can happen. I can agree. Four age range! He has been

:50:09. > :50:19.impressive for the past couple of years. It is the men's 200 metres

:50:19. > :50:26.

:50:27. > :50:32.His half brother was killed back home in the Caribbean. But he

:50:32. > :50:38.decided his brother would prefer him to come and compete. He is

:50:38. > :50:42.always a favourite. His experience at the Olympics was sad, he got

:50:42. > :50:49.sent home by the St Kitts team, and he said he would never compete for

:50:49. > :50:53.them again. He was spending time with his wife. It has not been a

:50:53. > :50:57.good eight or nine months for him, but we are delighted he is here. He

:50:57. > :51:07.will go later in the 60 metres as well, representing the Commonwealth

:51:07. > :51:26.

:51:26. > :51:34.indoors. The look of the draw, too many people would get through the

:51:34. > :51:40.rounds and would have to have the inside lane. Valentin Morozov, he

:51:40. > :51:46.has yet to break 21 seconds outdoors, so this is likely to be a

:51:46. > :51:53.struggle for him. Kim Collins, at his best indoors, at a few years

:51:53. > :51:58.ago, in 2000, 20.52. The former world champion outdoors. He was in

:51:58. > :52:04.good form last year before the unfortunate incident at the Olympic

:52:04. > :52:09.Games. Conrad Williams made the individual team last year, he ran a

:52:09. > :52:14.lot of 200 metre races indoors last year. I am sure he will have the

:52:14. > :52:24.same sort of strategy this year. He ran a personal best outdoors as

:52:24. > :52:25.

:52:25. > :52:30.well. Kind Butler. You might have been watching him on YouTube. He

:52:30. > :52:37.appeared on TV a couple of times, he did a standing jump on to a

:52:37. > :52:42.stack of discs. It was pretty impressive. I do not know if it has

:52:42. > :52:49.made him a better runner, but it was impressive. Conrad Williams has

:52:49. > :52:59.got a good lane draw. He will want to get his season off to a good

:52:59. > :53:26.

:53:26. > :53:32.Collins, and the British athlete settles for third. Probably going

:53:32. > :53:37.to script, Kind Butler had a good lane draw, he ran fast indoors last

:53:38. > :53:42.year, and he has a good victory here. Kim Collins started well. He

:53:42. > :53:52.is bound to be rusty. You would expect him to get out of the blocks

:53:52. > :53:58.better than anybody else, but he could not hold off Kind Butler.

:53:58. > :54:05.Perhaps those standing jumps are standing him in good stead! Colin

:54:05. > :54:09.Jackson, what did you make of that? Kim Collins rocketed round the

:54:09. > :54:16.first term, he put a lot of pressure on Conrad Williams. But he

:54:16. > :54:21.could not maintain it. On the outside, Kind Butler, he could

:54:21. > :54:26.sense that Kim Collins was fading, he got on top of his shoulders, and

:54:26. > :54:32.he eased to a very nice, comfortable victory. Slightly

:54:32. > :54:42.disappointed with the time, 21.26. This track can get people running

:54:42. > :54:45.

:54:45. > :54:50.much quicker. But a good race. He What did she think of the

:54:50. > :54:55.performance? It is an honour, running with these legends, I am

:54:55. > :55:00.proud to represent USA, or I loved it. To beat somebody like Kim

:55:00. > :55:08.Collins, he has got more action to come later. It was amazing, I was

:55:08. > :55:13.talking to him before, he was giving me advice. He told me,

:55:13. > :55:20.believe in yourself and keep going. What do you make of this then you?

:55:20. > :55:30.It is astonishing. The track is brilliant. You performed splendidly,

:55:30. > :55:58.

:55:58. > :56:05.performance. It was not quick. The is very close at the top. Great

:56:05. > :56:15.Britain a bit behind at the moment. It is turning into a fascinating

:56:15. > :56:18.

:56:18. > :56:28.confrontation between three lifetime best for Anastasia

:56:28. > :56:28.

:56:28. > :56:35.Savchenko. She joins Holly Bleasdale on the top of the table.

:56:35. > :56:42.Holly Bleasdale, we have seen nothing but smiles from her since

:56:42. > :56:52.she came into the stadium this afternoon. 4.70 is the target for

:56:52. > :56:54.

:56:54. > :57:01.her. Let's not forget she has cleared of 4.87 in the past. This

:57:01. > :57:08.would be a cracking the poll vault if she gets it, it would be the

:57:08. > :57:14.highest in the world for 2013. It was not far away. She will have two

:57:14. > :57:24.more attempts. The first failure of the afternoon, but she looks

:57:24. > :57:27.

:57:28. > :57:32.confident, I think, to get this A nice measure of her confidence.

:57:33. > :57:39.Robbie Grabarz was warming up in the high jump, they had a chat, and

:57:39. > :57:43.then she took an attempt. Things are looking good for her. We have a

:57:43. > :57:47.number of Paralympic events, for the first time, due to the impact

:57:47. > :57:57.of London 2012. It was a remarkable couple of weeks, but some amazing

:57:57. > :58:22.

:58:22. > :58:32.medallist in the Olympic Stadium? gold medal! The 10th gold medal for

:58:32. > :58:43.

:58:43. > :58:53.Great Britain in the athletics takes the gold medal for Great

:58:53. > :59:02.

:59:02. > :59:12.Of course, not forgetting David Weir. Four events in London and for

:59:12. > :59:12.

:59:12. > :59:20.medals! It was a breathtaking performance. He received the

:59:20. > :59:26.adulation he deserved at the Sports personality of the year. I think he

:59:26. > :59:34.was a little bit overwhelmed. Guineas, we always expected the

:59:34. > :59:39.Olympic Games to be a massive success, but perhaps didn't

:59:39. > :59:45.anticipate what happened at the Paralympics. No one expected just

:59:45. > :59:49.how amazing the event would be, and hide the British public would

:59:49. > :59:56.received the great performances of the Paralympians. The vast majority

:59:56. > :00:00.of people who bought tickets for the Olympic Stadium hadn't seen

:00:00. > :00:06.Paralympic sport before. The feedback that I got was they were

:00:06. > :00:12.overwhelmed. Huge respect. Not only the stories behind the athletes,

:00:12. > :00:17.this stunning performances. David Weir in particular, four events and

:00:17. > :00:21.for gold medals. He just had back confident of an athlete who was in

:00:21. > :00:26.shape and ready. It is lovely when it comes together like that at the

:00:26. > :00:35.most important time. David is a great ambassador for the sport. He

:00:35. > :00:42.is feisty, he gives it at all. It is the range of events that makes

:00:42. > :00:52.it so amazing. The next event on the track is an event for athletes

:00:52. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :00:59.with a visual impairment. Libby Clegg, it must be a great thing to

:00:59. > :01:04.have so many Paralympic events in one place on Monday. It is great

:01:04. > :01:09.that so many Paralympic events have been put on today. It will be a

:01:09. > :01:15.fantastic showcase. A great time to build on what happened last year.

:01:15. > :01:25.You are not running with the guide runner today. Unfortunately, she

:01:25. > :01:28.

:01:28. > :01:34.has had his hamstring. We don't want to injure him further. I am

:01:34. > :01:44.going to run on my own today. I have never done it before! Well,

:01:44. > :01:59.

:01:59. > :02:07.not since 2005. We wish you well. some vision. She is not running

:02:07. > :02:12.with the guide runner here today. That may be a difficulty. Three

:02:12. > :02:22.athletes in total. There is the line-up. Terezinha Guilhermina goes

:02:22. > :02:23.

:02:23. > :02:31.in lane six. Hanka Kolnikova is in lane seven. Terezinha Guilhermina

:02:31. > :02:35.was one of the real stars of the Paralympics. Lady got back silver

:02:35. > :02:42.medal in the 100 metres. She just missed out on a place in the 200-

:02:42. > :02:50.metre final, despite smashing her lifetime best. She looks a little

:02:50. > :02:57.bit nervous. Terezinha Guilhermina is totally blind. Paralympic

:02:57. > :03:07.champion. At 100 metres and 200 metres. Also ran in the relay. Her

:03:07. > :03:12.

:03:13. > :03:21.real star. Hanka Kolnikova from Slovakia. She has got below not 0.5

:03:21. > :03:28.% of normal vision. In the 100 metres, it is imperative the

:03:28. > :03:37.athletes get away to a good start. They have to cross the line ahead

:03:37. > :03:46.of their guide runner. That will be tricky for the guide runner has to

:03:46. > :03:56.slow down in time because they can't cross the line before the

:03:56. > :04:04.

:04:04. > :04:14.person they are supporting. Not too bad a start by Libby Clegg.

:04:14. > :04:14.

:04:14. > :04:23.Terezinha Guilhermina gets it! 8.16. Always delighted to win her race.

:04:23. > :04:28.She will be a massive start at the time the Olympics go to Brazil. We

:04:28. > :04:35.don't have any records of world records were Paralympic records, so

:04:35. > :04:42.what do you think of that? Greats. Terezinha Guilhermina got down into

:04:43. > :04:46.her running. Used her guide well. Unfortunately for Libby Clegg I

:04:46. > :04:56.think she missed her guide today. Not able to get into her running

:04:56. > :04:57.

:04:57. > :05:07.quite as well as she would have liked to. I thought Libby Clegg was

:05:07. > :05:08.

:05:08. > :05:18.going to pressurise Terezinha Guilhermina. But, a good

:05:18. > :05:20.

:05:20. > :05:30.performance by all three athletes. So, Libby Clegg, a silver medal in

:05:30. > :05:33.

:05:33. > :05:41.the Paralympic Games. Third place here. Meanwhile, we have Holly

:05:41. > :05:46.Bleasdale in her third and final attempt at 4.70 metres. This would

:05:46. > :05:51.put her top of the world rankings. That was perhaps her best efforts

:05:51. > :05:58.so far. But she is still in good shape for the European Indoor

:05:58. > :06:08.Championships, that is for sure. The Russian is still to take her

:06:08. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:24.third and final attempt. She is looking very smooth on the runway.

:06:24. > :06:27.She is being watched today, not by Scott Simpson her coach, but by her

:06:27. > :06:37.boyfriend, Paul Brack job. Here goes the Russian. This is for

:06:37. > :06:41.

:06:41. > :06:51.victory. -- Paul Bradshaw. So, Holly Bleasdale get maximum points

:06:51. > :06:54.

:06:54. > :07:00.for Great Britain, Russia in check -- Russia in second. Just go back

:07:00. > :07:10.to the previous race that we saw, Terezinha Guilhermina, 8.17. For a

:07:10. > :07:14.

:07:14. > :07:18.lot of these athletes, these will be personal best performances. We

:07:18. > :07:28.can go to the pole vaults and relished the victory of Holly

:07:28. > :07:33.

:07:33. > :07:37.Bleasdale. That is a new lifetime best for the Russian. Zoe Brown for

:07:38. > :07:47.Northern Ireland, she will be a contender for the Northern Ireland

:07:48. > :07:58.

:07:58. > :08:08.A couple more Paralympic events to go. Earlier we saw the 60 metres.

:08:08. > :08:15.It was a greats run for Ola Abidogun. He was joined by Kyle

:08:15. > :08:22.Powell, just 16 years old. A big moment for this young man. This

:08:22. > :08:32.star man here, Yohansson Nascimento, world records, gold medal, silver

:08:32. > :09:06.

:09:06. > :09:14.Nascimento. Ola Abidogun comes streaking through. That was a

:09:14. > :09:23.terrific finish there by Ola Abidogun. He absolutely do

:09:23. > :09:33.Yohansson Nascimento away. 7.25 is a good time, as well. I wonder if

:09:33. > :09:33.

:09:33. > :09:39.that is a British record? He just came streaking through. That shows

:09:40. > :09:45.so much drink. Tomoki Tagawa of Japan might just have got second

:09:45. > :09:54.place. That is ahead of Yohansson Nascimento, he was one of the stars

:09:54. > :09:59.of the Paralympic Games. Very smooth running by Ola Abidogun.

:09:59. > :10:06.Maybe just tempting up a little bit at the end. These athletes have

:10:06. > :10:15.very few outings over 60 metres. So, that is a lifetime best for Ola

:10:15. > :10:25.Abidogun. Tomoki Tagawa or got second with exactly the same time

:10:25. > :10:28.

:10:28. > :10:35.Yohansson Nascimento. Afterwards, You came storming through to

:10:35. > :10:41.victory! I thought I had lost it. I got a burst of speed. What about

:10:41. > :10:49.the crowd here? I have got to be honest, this crowd is practically

:10:49. > :10:53.the same as the Olympics. They're just alive. But Paralympics plots

:10:53. > :11:01.your sport to a different level. To have for Paralympic events here

:11:01. > :11:05.must be great. It is amazing. I think you will have more events and

:11:05. > :11:11.more and it will be equal. No well, if not equal, then just one big

:11:11. > :11:21.team. That is what we are, one big family. Well done. Thank you very

:11:21. > :11:38.

:11:38. > :11:48.We have Katrina Hart outside Jenny McLaughlan. They are members of the

:11:48. > :11:58.relay team that took bronze at the Paralympics. The stand out athlete

:11:58. > :11:59.

:11:59. > :12:09.is probably due Johanna Benson of Namibia. Olivia Breen ran the

:12:09. > :12:14.

:12:14. > :12:21.opening leg in that relay race for Britain at the Paralympics. All

:12:21. > :12:31.these athletes have cerebral palsy. That affects one side of their body.

:12:31. > :12:34.

:12:34. > :12:40.Jenny McLaughlan ran the anchor leg in London. Johanna Benson from

:12:40. > :12:50.Namibia. She had a silver medal in the 100 metres. She was a champion

:12:50. > :12:56.

:12:56. > :13:02.in the 200 metres. Heather Jameson from Ireland's. Only 15 years old.

:13:02. > :13:12.There is Lady Breen, smiling again! She finished fit in the 100 metres

:13:12. > :13:50.

:13:50. > :13:54.at the Paralympics. She ran the Katrina Hart holds on for it. Lidia

:13:54. > :14:00.Breen in second. The British at these well represented here.

:14:00. > :14:06.Katrina Hart takes it for Great Britain. A spell for a Olivia Breen

:14:06. > :14:15.at the end. She came through for a place as well. Katrina Hart digs

:14:15. > :14:25.victory. It takes a lot to wipe the smile off Olivia Breen's face.

:14:25. > :14:29.

:14:29. > :14:37.Katrina Hart takes the victory. This was the start. Katrina Hart

:14:37. > :14:46.could so quickly. I think the 200 metres is prepared by each Johanna

:14:46. > :14:51.Benson. The standing start means she uses a lot of room. Great

:14:51. > :15:01.Britain 1 and 2. Well done to both of them. The times that have been

:15:01. > :15:25.

:15:25. > :15:32.British girls are downstairs with A great atmosphere, and you are

:15:32. > :15:38.performing again. I let myself down a pit in London. You have got to be

:15:38. > :15:43.stronger than that, you have got to come back stronger. This is all

:15:43. > :15:49.relatively new to do, what about the atmosphere? UWE rose to the

:15:49. > :15:58.occasion. It is amazing, I am back into it again. It is nice to see

:15:58. > :16:01.people supporting us again, it is a happy vibe. It was a fine

:16:01. > :16:07.performance, and this is the thing about the British team, so many

:16:07. > :16:12.young people challenging the more established athletes. Everybody

:16:12. > :16:17.getting involved in Paralympics sport, we have done incredibly

:16:17. > :16:27.since the Olympic Games, and the legacy should be incredible.

:16:27. > :16:32.

:16:33. > :16:42.have done your bit, and you for Great Britain. That is a

:16:43. > :16:55.

:16:55. > :17:00.Paralympic team, Stephanie Reid. The first round of the long jump.

:17:00. > :17:05.She was an Olympic medallist in the 200 metres, but she is

:17:05. > :17:15.concentrating on excellence in the long jump. In her category, she is

:17:15. > :17:15.

:17:15. > :17:24.the world record holder. This is a combined event. F44-46. Because

:17:24. > :17:32.there are two different disability groups, a points system will be

:17:32. > :17:42.used to establish who the winner will be. Stefanie Reid's second

:17:42. > :17:43.

:17:43. > :17:53.round jump, for 0.87. A good, solid effort. Lenka Gajarska. Papers have

:17:53. > :17:55.

:17:55. > :18:05.a problem for her, with the two fouls. The system favours like

:18:05. > :18:05.

:18:05. > :18:10.amputees, -- Lake amputees. I guess that is one of the problems of a

:18:10. > :18:20.combined competition, which happens so often in the Paralympics. A lot

:18:20. > :18:21.

:18:21. > :18:26.of the combined group's of going to be disbanded in time for the Rio

:18:26. > :18:33.2016 Paralympic Games, which will be very interesting indeed. Each

:18:33. > :18:41.individual disability group will tend to compete on their own. Lenka

:18:41. > :18:46.Gajarska, 4.89. It needs a big jump in order to improve her situation.

:18:46. > :18:56.We cannot give you the points situation, they cannot -- they are

:18:56. > :19:01.not coming upon our computer at the moment. Over the years, her coach

:19:01. > :19:08.has been looking after her, her balance, strength and technique

:19:08. > :19:18.have improved. Stefanie Reid has been jumping so well. She was the

:19:18. > :19:20.

:19:20. > :19:30.world champion in the past. She is looking for a big improvement. Her

:19:30. > :19:34.

:19:34. > :19:40.I noticed so many people lining up for autographs. It shows the

:19:40. > :19:48.generation you have inspired. tops of my day, I am happy to have

:19:48. > :19:52.loads of kids and Lanny GAP, it is a great honour. I am happy I have

:19:52. > :19:59.inspired a lot of kids. Or are you coming into the unknown? You are

:19:59. > :20:03.not sure what you will do it on a competitive level. Absolutely, it

:20:03. > :20:10.is scary, coming into competitions, I do not know if my typical come

:20:10. > :20:15.through. I am very happy today. My fiance was helping me today, he is

:20:15. > :20:22.an 800 metre runner, so he is not an expert! I am happy I could do

:20:22. > :20:27.this on my own. People at home might be thinking, why change?

:20:27. > :20:33.was doing really well technically, with Julian, he has been such a

:20:33. > :20:37.great help, but I needed to move on. Dan has been helping to pay, he

:20:37. > :20:42.named 12 things he could change the first day I met him. It is coming

:20:42. > :20:50.together really well. It will take a couple of years, but at my best,

:20:50. > :20:56.I want to be jumping over five metres.

:20:56. > :21:05.Her work might be done, but for Dai Greene, it is still to come. He

:21:06. > :21:12.goes in the 600 metres against Andrew Osagie. Also, Carmelita

:21:12. > :21:17.Jeter over 60 metres. And, Dwain Chambers, the second fastest all-

:21:17. > :21:23.time indoors. We will be looking for him to show us a clean pair of

:21:23. > :21:33.heels. Then, Perri Shakes-Drayton, a disappointing Olympics. She goes

:21:33. > :21:37.

:21:38. > :21:42.in the 400 metres. Next, the men's good field here. Bethwel Birgen was

:21:43. > :21:52.number two in the world last year. Charlie Grice, one of our top young

:21:53. > :22:05.

:22:05. > :22:13.junior talents. Matthew Centrowitz, youngsters taking part, the Russian

:22:13. > :22:19.is 26 years of age, he should not really figure, but you never know.

:22:19. > :22:24.Florian Orth, he made the final of the Europeans last year. He ran a

:22:24. > :22:27.significant personal best. This young man just missed out, he was

:22:27. > :22:33.in fourth place at the Olympic Games. Charlie Grice would have

:22:33. > :22:37.loved to have been there, he is fast improving. He is in good shape,

:22:37. > :22:42.he is looking forward to running against two of the best men in the

:22:42. > :22:47.world indoors. Bethwel Birgen cannot make the team out doors, but

:22:47. > :22:57.indoors, he is a formidable talent, from Kenya. Representing the

:22:57. > :23:06.

:23:06. > :23:11.way. Heat is expecting to run well. He wants to do well in the race,

:23:11. > :23:19.but he has the secondary target of a European indoor qualifying time,

:23:19. > :23:25.three minutes 40 took exactly, if the pace is good enough. -- three

:23:25. > :23:32.minutes 42. 7 1/2 laps of the track. Getting your tactics right will be

:23:32. > :23:36.important. Matthew Centrowitz has had one run indoors, 800 metres,

:23:36. > :23:44.running a similar time to Charlie Grice. It looks as though Matthew

:23:44. > :23:53.Centrowitz means business. Yes, he gave up his amateur eligibility to

:23:53. > :24:01.turn professional in 2011. He trains with Mo Farah. A lot more

:24:01. > :24:11.distance. He thinks he is in very good shape. He wants to run under

:24:11. > :24:17.

:24:17. > :24:21.between the two camps, because this looks like well-designed pacemaking.

:24:21. > :24:27.This is quick indoors. Charlie Grice has a decision to make, he

:24:27. > :24:32.does not know if he is in good shape. He is sitting back, that is

:24:32. > :24:36.a wise move, because the pace is good. He has got the secondary

:24:36. > :24:43.target of running a good time, and staying at just about in contact,

:24:43. > :24:49.Florian Orth, two metres behind the leaders. The pace starts to drop.

:24:50. > :24:53.It is your turn now, Bethwel Birgen. They must have had a word. They

:24:53. > :25:00.both have the same management company, they must have worked

:25:00. > :25:05.together a bit. It is a good sharpener for them both. Charlie

:25:05. > :25:11.Grice closing back up. Very good from Charlie Grice. He has got a

:25:11. > :25:19.good head on his shoulders, just 19 years of age. Coached by Sally

:25:19. > :25:26.Gunnell's husband. He has had a couple of sessions with Andrew

:25:26. > :25:32.Osagie. Andrew Osagie will be in the 600 metres later, against Dai

:25:32. > :25:38.Greene. He is tiring a bit. It is a good pace at the front. They are

:25:38. > :25:44.looking for Reece Smith, Bethwel Birgen and Matthew Centrowitz. At

:25:44. > :25:49.the moment, Charlie Grice cannot get around Florian Orth. He is also

:25:49. > :25:55.running a strong plea. It would be good to see Charlie Grice get his

:25:55. > :26:01.qualifying time. He needs to dig deep, he has got a good finish, but

:26:01. > :26:05.he is keeping an eye on what is coming on at the front. Bethwel

:26:05. > :26:13.Birgen and Matthew Centrowitz looking comfortable. The fastest in

:26:13. > :26:18.the world, three minutes 42.5. That is the Irish runner. These two are

:26:18. > :26:23.heading for something faster. Can Charlie Grice hand on? He has got

:26:23. > :26:30.to chase the time. Bethwel Birgen looking comfortable, but Matthew

:26:30. > :26:34.Centrowitz is deceptive. The gap is starting to open up. Some people

:26:34. > :26:39.are absolutely suited to running indoors, Bethwel Birgen is a

:26:39. > :26:44.different athlete indoors. Kenya have got so much talent, but he is

:26:44. > :26:49.one of the best in the world, and he is sharing it. Matthew

:26:49. > :26:54.Centrowitz started to get tired, and Florian Orth is coming after

:26:54. > :27:00.him. Charlie Grice is tiring badly. It is a big win and a pretty good

:27:00. > :27:04.time indoors. Florian Orth gets second place. Matthew Centrowitz

:27:04. > :27:10.gets third place, Charlie Grice does not quite catch the Russian.

:27:10. > :27:16.His time, three minutes 45. He had a go. He has got to learn, it has

:27:16. > :27:23.got to get a bit of experience. It was a quicker pace. He might have

:27:23. > :27:28.had for something more like the type of pace we expect in these

:27:28. > :27:33.matches. They had a plan, they stuck to it, and Bethwel Birgen

:27:33. > :27:38.came out the best. I was expecting to see him go a lot stronger than

:27:38. > :27:48.that, to finish a lot sharper. It has got work to do if he is going

:27:48. > :27:49.

:27:49. > :27:57.to go under three minutes 50. Perhaps those 17 mile runs have

:27:57. > :28:01.left him a bit too heavy lead. Bethwel Birgen looking fresh. No

:28:01. > :28:05.danger at all, very smooth. It is a shame to see Charlie Grice get

:28:05. > :28:12.tired, he might have been intimidated. It is a good

:28:12. > :28:17.atmosphere, it is pretty packed, and perhaps it got to him a bit.

:28:17. > :28:27.This man is a tough competitor indoors, he ran three minutes 31

:28:27. > :28:42.

:28:42. > :28:52.outdoors last year. Indoors, he is impressive. A good run from Florian

:28:52. > :28:56.Orth. Matthew Centrowitz, he faded badly. Charlie Grice, a personal

:28:56. > :29:06.best, but I think there is more to come from him in a better paced

:29:06. > :29:09.

:29:09. > :29:18.race. We have done a bit of chasing, to try to find out the situation.

:29:18. > :29:26.It looks as though Stefanie Reid has got it all sewn up. That might

:29:26. > :29:31.be close to the 4.87 she achieved a little while ago. It is close. She

:29:31. > :29:41.is ahead of Maya Nakanishi any of Japan and also Mami Sato. The other

:29:41. > :29:51.Japanese competitor. That amazing write like a pathetic, which lets

:29:51. > :29:58.

:29:58. > :30:08.her run in a balanced fashion -- one at the Japanese competitors.

:30:08. > :30:09.

:30:09. > :30:16.Once again, maximum points for Great Britain. Dare we go, the

:30:16. > :30:26.points for Stefanie Reid. Quite a way in front of it Maya Nakanishi

:30:26. > :30:28.

:30:28. > :30:33.of Japan and Mami Sato, also of Some events seem to attract

:30:33. > :30:43.characters, and high jump is one of those events. The latest British

:30:43. > :30:46.

:30:46. > :30:56.star is one of those characters. Very, very good indeed from Robbie

:30:56. > :31:13.

:31:13. > :31:19.Glasgow this afternoon. Robbie Grabarz, one of Britain's's best

:31:19. > :31:27.that beaten 2012. She flies in Glasgow this afternoon. His first

:31:27. > :31:33.appearance here in this new stadium. That is a long way below his best

:31:33. > :31:42.ever, but that was impressive. A lot of people saying watch out for

:31:42. > :31:48.this man this year. He is going to go places. The next event on track

:31:48. > :31:58.is the women's 1500 metres. Laura Muir, the 19-year-old, is a student

:31:58. > :32:12.

:32:12. > :32:22.than Laura Muir and would be surprised. She has raced on this

:32:22. > :32:25.

:32:25. > :32:33.track four times. She is from the same club as Liz McColgan. There is

:32:33. > :32:43.Nancy Chepkwemoi, her first time ever racing indoors. Also just 19.

:32:43. > :32:46.

:32:46. > :32:53.The diminutive Kristina Khaleeva or of Russia. Corinna Harrer narrowly

:32:53. > :33:03.missed out in a place in the final in London at the 1500 metres. From

:33:03. > :33:09.

:33:09. > :33:19.the USA, Sara Vaughn. We saw a very decent the run men's 1500 metres.

:33:19. > :33:26.All the tactics be here? 7 1/2 laps of the track. Laura Muir taking it

:33:26. > :33:33.out, trying to get yourself in a decent position at the front. Then

:33:33. > :33:43.just eased back a little bit. little bit of Jocelyn. No one seems

:33:43. > :33:52.

:33:53. > :33:59.to be keen to have it as a fast Chepkwemoi go to the front and try

:33:59. > :34:03.and pick it up a little bit. Nancy Chepkwemoi a bit bored with his

:34:03. > :34:11.speed at the start so tries to lift things up. Laura Muir is beside her.

:34:11. > :34:17.Sara Vaughn is inside. Her husband, Brent, is a very good runner, he

:34:17. > :34:27.was a cross country champion. von is training in that group in

:34:27. > :34:30.

:34:30. > :34:39.Portland's Horrigan -- in Portland, Oregon. Kristina Khaleeva is just

:34:39. > :34:45.tucking in at the back. A very slow race so far. Pretty much 10

:34:45. > :34:51.kilometre speed. Laura Muir is running pretty white, maybe Phil's

:34:51. > :35:01.a little bit intimidated. Kristina Khaleeva is content to wait at the

:35:01. > :35:03.

:35:03. > :35:10.back. Nancy Chepkwemoi is still at the the front. There is a limited

:35:10. > :35:17.field here, so less chance of being boxed in. Laura Muir will not be

:35:17. > :35:25.unhappy with the slow speed of this race. You are looking for somebody

:35:25. > :35:33.to start injecting the speed soon. Sara Vaughn has a pretty good kick.

:35:33. > :35:39.She has moved up from 800 metres. Corinna Harrer are tends to be a

:35:39. > :35:45.bit slower at picking it up. Kristina Khaleeva can come through

:35:45. > :35:55.very strong. Kareem Harrower was very good at 400 metres in her

:35:55. > :35:57.

:35:57. > :36:03.younger days. -- Corinna Harrer are. Still bunched up, not strong night

:36:03. > :36:10.at all in the way the men's race was. It moved at the good old

:36:10. > :36:20.clipped! Sarah von will be happy at how this is going so far. Nobody

:36:20. > :36:27.

:36:27. > :36:33.seems to want to take a wrong. -- take her on it. So the German hits

:36:33. > :36:43.the front. Kristina Khaleeva is making her move. Nancy Chepkwemoi

:36:43. > :36:44.

:36:45. > :36:54.looks like she is struggling. Two laps to go. Did German is injecting

:36:55. > :37:05.

:37:05. > :37:11.the speed. Sarah von is making her presence felt. Corinna Harrer is

:37:11. > :37:19.still in front. Laura Muir is trying to stay with them, but if

:40:17. > :40:22.

:40:22. > :40:29.danger, Aleksey Dmitrik. He has a 2.35 metres indoors. He is flying,

:40:29. > :40:39.too! I don't think Robbie Grabarz is going to have this all his own

:40:39. > :40:42.

:40:42. > :40:52.way. He looks good. He accelerates nicely into the bar. So, Robbie

:40:52. > :40:57.

:40:57. > :41:03.Grabarz. Easy! As you would expect from the Olympic bronze medallist.

:41:03. > :41:13.Every time he finishes, he just takes a look at the screen to watch

:41:13. > :41:19.the slow-motion replay. So, here is Aleksey Dmitrik. Great vertical

:41:29. > :41:31.

:41:31. > :41:38.is now. First-time clearances all the way. I'm sure this high jump

:41:38. > :41:42.competition will keep the crowd enthralled for some time to come.

:41:42. > :41:48.Allan Smith did not get off to the best of starts, feeling at his

:41:58. > :42:05.

:42:05. > :42:15.lifetime best. The take-off was too close. Allan Smith is competing for

:42:15. > :42:27.

:42:27. > :42:36.the Commonwealth. Robbie Grabarz is this competition. Let's see what

:42:36. > :42:46.Robbie can do this time. 2.23 metres. There should be easy. That

:42:46. > :42:47.

:42:47. > :42:57.was big. That was a big jump by Roddy. So, certainly his work over

:42:57. > :42:58.

:42:58. > :43:08.the winter has been very, very good so far. Colin Jackson is hoping

:43:15. > :43:21.Robbie Grabarz, but there is an expectation of the day as they used

:43:21. > :43:28.to living with. Absolutely. He was relatively unknown. On the world

:43:28. > :43:33.stage, no one to can seriously. Now he is in a very different position.

:43:33. > :43:43.He was so fantastic last year, so consistent. Now we have come to

:43:43. > :43:49.expect from him. When he doesn't jump 2.34, we think, not that good!

:43:49. > :43:55.The high jump is probably the most competitive competition in track

:43:55. > :44:03.and field at this moment in time. It just shows you a great Robbie

:44:03. > :44:13.Grabarz is performing right now. Next on the track is Perri Shakes-

:44:13. > :44:14.

:44:14. > :44:18.Drayton. She is pretty nifty over the flat, isn't she? She doesn't

:44:18. > :44:23.run much indoors, so be interesting to see how she copes with this new

:44:23. > :44:30.track. I expect her to go out pretty confidently and starter

:44:30. > :44:40.campaign off really well this year. She is against Eilidh Child among

:44:40. > :44:56.

:44:56. > :45:01.400 metres indoors ever. Yulia Terekhova is there. Natasha

:45:01. > :45:08.Hastings is very good indoors. When you're running individually, it is

:45:08. > :45:18.a lot about the first lap. Two laps indoors. Perri Shakes-Drayton will

:45:18. > :45:25.have to get her tactics right. Yulia Terekhova a is maybe not in

:45:25. > :45:34.the same shape as she was in in 2012. Natasha Hastings his coach

:45:34. > :45:44.down in Bath, the Scottish record holder. Perri Shakes-Drayton has

:45:44. > :45:52.one run this year indoors, at 60 metres. She ran OK. It is good to

:45:52. > :45:59.see her here. Natasha Hastings is a lot more experienced. She was it

:45:59. > :46:09.fastest in the world last year indoors. She missed out on the

:46:09. > :46:20.

:46:20. > :46:26.the performances and times on this new track, it is difficult to gauge

:46:26. > :46:30.whether it is quick or not. The first ever meeting held here,

:46:30. > :46:35.international meeting anyway. For Perri Shakes-Drayton, she has got

:46:35. > :46:45.to gauge the first lap correctly, and be as close to Natasha Hastings

:46:45. > :47:00.

:47:00. > :47:08.started the quickest. The two British athletes beginning to run

:47:43. > :47:50.terrible second bend, how she got The crowd are deflated, as we all

:47:50. > :47:54.are. A great race. The fastest in the world this year. That is what

:47:54. > :47:58.Perri Shakes Drayton did, she pushed the American all the way.

:47:58. > :48:04.The American went off well, she went off balance on the second bend,

:48:04. > :48:07.she got herself back in the race to. She looked as though she had given

:48:07. > :48:17.the advantage to Perri Shakes- Drayton, but the British athlete

:48:17. > :48:18.

:48:18. > :48:28.did not have the strength at the end to hold her off. Very close. A

:48:28. > :48:36.

:48:36. > :48:42.good performance from Perri Shakes- Denise Lewis, but they have got a

:48:42. > :48:46.prime view of it. Perri Shakes- Drayton was criticised last year

:48:46. > :48:52.that she did not grab the opportunity that London presented

:48:52. > :48:57.her. Some of that has sunk in. She has set her stall at for this year,

:48:57. > :49:03.she says she is in good shape. This is a pretty solid start. Denise

:49:03. > :49:08.Lewis can hear me now. What did you make of that? She did a great job.

:49:08. > :49:14.She did what she needed to do in the first lap, but is so important

:49:14. > :49:20.to command this race. She was very gutsy, that is what we have come to

:49:20. > :49:25.expect, she does not quit, she keeps giving it all. Her 400 metres

:49:25. > :49:29.hurdles the strength, we hoped, would get the better of the

:49:29. > :49:32.American, but not quite on this occasion. She is in good shape, she

:49:32. > :49:42.needs to make sure she stays injury-free, because she is looking

:49:42. > :49:45.

:49:45. > :49:54.You gave it 100%, how would you assess it? My first individual 400

:49:54. > :50:00.metres, I ran quite well. It was a personal best. I did enjoy every

:50:00. > :50:03.moment of it, it was very close. It reminded me of the World Indoor

:50:04. > :50:09.Championships. I thought that would happen, at my legs felt like jelly.

:50:09. > :50:14.I am looking forward to my next one. Perhaps you will bring it home in

:50:14. > :50:20.Gothenburg. You are in seventh place on the UK all-time list.

:50:20. > :50:25.is all right, hopefully I can go higher! That says a lot about way

:50:25. > :50:32.you are now. This is a good test of what the training has been like.

:50:32. > :50:38.Yes, at times, I have doubted myself, leading up to this race, my

:50:38. > :50:45.coach was like,... He reminded me of what I have done, my boyfriend

:50:45. > :50:55.has also been encouragingly. It has given me great confidence. But the

:50:55. > :51:13.

:51:13. > :51:23.hard work still continues. A great is not too far off her outdoor best.

:51:23. > :51:31.

:51:31. > :51:35.That has helped our cause a little It is not looking too brilliant on

:51:35. > :51:39.the team front, but that was a good run. We would have expected Natasha

:51:39. > :51:46.Hastings to win, but she was produced all the way. I was happy

:51:46. > :51:51.to see that. At no stage did Perri Shakes Drayton seemed intimidated.

:51:51. > :51:55.She feels like she is more than happy to be in this type of company,

:51:55. > :52:00.and the speed of the race was perfect for her. It was paced well,

:52:00. > :52:05.she could battle all their way through. She showed herself to be

:52:05. > :52:12.in good shape, and in confident form. That is all we want to see.

:52:12. > :52:16.It is not just about running fast, it is about tactics. Yes, she will

:52:16. > :52:22.not be that familiar with it. It was nice to see that, she dealt

:52:22. > :52:27.with it superbly, she ran really well, she looks a strong, she is

:52:27. > :52:32.going to get more speed in her legs, but it was a good start. We have

:52:32. > :52:42.been looking at which lists for our experts, and now we will hear from

:52:42. > :53:02.

:53:02. > :53:12.looks -- Alison Felix Savon striding down the home straight.

:53:12. > :53:24.

:53:24. > :53:32.Spot the lightness! Honestly! Do I really look like that?! No comment!

:53:33. > :53:40.Leads get onto your wish-list. Jessica Ennis. The hurdles. That

:53:40. > :53:44.started London 2012, such a band, when she ran the hurdles are. 12.54.

:53:45. > :53:49.I would love to see her do more hurdling. I think she can really

:53:50. > :53:57.mix it up with these girls. She might have got a medal in London.

:53:57. > :54:01.Fingers crossed that it is on her agenda. Alison Felix? Again, still

:54:01. > :54:10.not that experienced with 400 metres, but if she was to really

:54:10. > :54:16.concentrate on that, she could run under 49. She ran an amazing to the

:54:16. > :54:23.debate a time, 21.69 or something like that. She has more potential

:54:23. > :54:31.in that event. The head-to-head with Sanya Richards-Ross, that

:54:31. > :54:36.would be spicy. Epic! It would be great. There is no love lost. To

:54:36. > :54:44.see their competitiveness in that middle distance would be pretty

:54:44. > :54:50.special. You never know. These clashes always cost dollars.

:54:50. > :54:55.Lawrence Okoye. I adore him, he is fantastic. When you think about how

:54:55. > :55:05.he managed to qualify for the final in London, a huge throat on the

:55:05. > :55:06.

:55:06. > :55:09.last throw. If he can get anywhere near his European British record,

:55:09. > :55:14.he would challenge for the medals this year. That would be great for

:55:14. > :55:21.the British hopefuls. We are looking forward to the men's 600

:55:21. > :55:30.metres. I wonder what is coming through

:55:30. > :55:34.your mind down here. There is still quite a way to go, I am trying to

:55:34. > :55:42.stay relaxed, to say hello to everybody, it is the first race of

:55:42. > :55:46.the season. Did you have your own routine? Every athlete does. I just

:55:46. > :55:51.take it as it comes, if I see somebody that I want to speak to, I

:55:51. > :55:57.will speak to them. I am not in the zone yet. You had a tremendous year

:55:57. > :56:02.last year. You want to build on that, how does this fit in for you?

:56:02. > :56:06.I want to keep some momentum from the summer. It is a different event.

:56:06. > :56:13.It will be interesting, it is a great race, the start list looks

:56:13. > :56:20.really good. Hopefully we can put something on for the crowd.

:56:20. > :56:30.It will be a fantastic race. Duane Solomon in it as well. That go back

:57:43. > :57:48.continue to Rio in 2016. He ran the first leg for the Bahamas relay

:59:45. > :59:58.

:59:58. > :00:03.more quickly because he had a lot to spare. It was an impressive

:00:03. > :00:12.first 100 metres by Chris Brown. He has lots of experience, former

:00:12. > :00:18.world indoor champion. Pavel Trenikhin he attacked just at the

:00:18. > :00:22.right time. Straight up this turn, use the impetus of the bend the

:00:22. > :00:27.potion in front. Chris Brown had to slow down and he held that the

:01:38. > :01:46.on me. How much pain were you in? Quite a bit. Almost as much pain is

:01:46. > :01:52.running here today. This is my first race since that day! My coach

:01:52. > :02:02.wanted to see how I looked. It will be a long road back from injury

:02:02. > :02:07.like that, but you have maids the first steps back. I feel that I

:02:07. > :02:11.have that long career ahead of me. I am very grateful. A would like to

:02:11. > :02:21.say thank-you to the British people. They took care of me when I was

:02:21. > :02:30.

:02:30. > :02:37.here. Thank you for being part of points for Pavel Trenikhin and

:05:40. > :05:47.wife, Tanya, and his doctor, it was such an incredible moment not only

:05:47. > :05:52.for him, but for British athletics fans everywhere. To have him back

:05:52. > :05:58.entertaining the crowds in February will be of real, real treat. I am

:05:58. > :06:03.surprised that he is doing indoors. Grit for the British crowd. Maybe

:06:03. > :06:07.you feel that responsibility? Success means that you do have

:06:07. > :06:13.responsibility. You want to please you France, as well as please

:06:13. > :06:19.yourself. Mo Farah has always done the cross-country season. We have

:06:19. > :06:22.seen him run plenty of times indoors before. It is nice that he

:06:22. > :06:30.appreciates everybody and goes out and performs well. I can remember

:06:30. > :06:40.one time in Birmingham and we had a funny spell with him. Remember, he

:06:40. > :06:47.

:06:47. > :06:55.tripped up, got up and ran the little bit of pressure. Alex three

:06:55. > :07:05.-- Aleksey Dmitrik has already cleared this. He keeps up with the

:07:05. > :07:13.

:07:13. > :07:20.Russian, but only just! 2.29, a prodigious height. So, him and Alex

:07:20. > :07:30.three -- Aleksey Dmitrik will carry on to compete for the honours. As

:07:30. > :07:46.

:07:46. > :07:53.spectators. Next on the track is the men's 3000 metres. We have

:07:53. > :07:57.Bernard Lagat, the world indoor champion. He has been a world

:07:57. > :08:07.champion outdoors as well. He is pretty much done everything in the

:08:07. > :08:08.

:08:08. > :08:14.sport. Against him is a Augustine Choge. He was the fastest man in

:08:14. > :08:19.the world last year at this particular distance. Andy Vernon is

:08:19. > :08:29.running for Great Britain. Nico Sonnenberg for Germany and Egor

:08:43. > :08:48.don't really know Andy Vernon, has he got a good kick? I'm sure Andy

:08:48. > :08:58.Vernon would be delighted to note that Bernard Lagat was asking about

:08:58. > :08:58.

:08:58. > :09:08.him! Bernard Lagat is one of the masters of kicking. He is now 38

:09:08. > :09:10.

:09:10. > :09:17.years old. He has an amazing change of speed. So, a Augustine Choge,

:09:17. > :09:24.talking about great kicks. A Augustine Choge will always be

:09:24. > :09:31.remembered for that race against Greek in the 5000 metres. Andy

:09:31. > :09:40.Vernon has it all to do! Andy Vernon is determined to try to make

:10:08. > :10:11.hoping for a fast time, if nothing else. Obviously he has been racing

:11:03. > :11:13.Grabarz is prowling around in the background.

:11:13. > :11:13.

:11:13. > :11:19.The high jumpers at the time their efforts with this race. This speed

:11:19. > :11:24.of this race is pretty steady. It wouldn't be quick enough for him to

:11:24. > :11:30.get the time it once, but it may well spit up. Bernard Lagat is just

:11:30. > :11:40.moving up nicely on the back straight.

:11:40. > :11:50.Robbie Grabarz is starting his run- up on the home straight. I think 90

:11:50. > :11:56.

:11:56. > :12:03.% of the stadium thought he had got that. That was close.

:12:03. > :12:09.We will keep you up-to-date with everything that is happening. I

:12:09. > :12:14.think Andy Vernon was thinking this was a bit slow for him. It will be

:12:14. > :12:23.tough for him to lead this race. It is indoors, so he doesn't have the

:12:23. > :12:33.wind. He wants to make it an honest race. The others will probably sit

:12:33. > :12:40.

:12:40. > :12:50.in and get a bit of her right here. -- bit of a ride here. The first

:12:50. > :12:51.

:12:51. > :12:57.1000 metres Woods bring you home at about 8.15, if you do demands. Andy

:12:57. > :13:07.Vernon would like us 7.50. Bernard Lagat has been telling me that his

:13:07. > :13:09.

:13:09. > :13:19.training has been going well. So, Aleksey Dmitrik goes again. This

:13:19. > :13:20.

:13:20. > :13:29.could be for maximum points. That was brilliant! That was a superb

:13:29. > :13:39.jump, equalling his season's best so far. Robbie Grabarz has to

:13:39. > :13:49.

:13:49. > :13:58.respond. Just having a look up at his coach. His coach will just be

:13:58. > :14:05.telling him to stay calm committee -- keep it technique together. Andy

:14:05. > :14:12.Vernon is leading, but he hasn't been able to inject must -- much

:14:12. > :14:22.speed. He isn't doing a lot with the race. The familiar routine of

:14:22. > :14:24.

:14:24. > :14:34.Robbie Grabarz. Here we go! Not quite this time. He has lost a bit

:14:34. > :14:36.

:14:36. > :14:41.of his composure. He has got one more attempt to go. Meanwhile, back

:14:41. > :14:46.in the race it has all changed. Finally the rest of the field have

:14:46. > :14:56.decided they would pick up the speed a little bit. It is now out

:14:56. > :15:00.

:15:00. > :15:10.the Russian Igor Nikolai of in the front. Bernard Lagat is looking for

:15:10. > :15:16.

:15:16. > :15:22.some fast times. He wants one or watch things pan out and relied on

:15:23. > :15:28.his cake. Egor Nikolaev did not think Andy Vernon was leading fast

:15:28. > :15:35.enough. Augustine Choge is happy to sit there, but he has got to get

:15:35. > :15:41.behind him. Let's put this into perspective, Bernard Lagat's rival

:15:41. > :15:48.Mo Farah has feared his kick. Mo Farah had to work really hard here

:15:48. > :15:53.last year. The three of them have a very similar kick. Bernard Lagat

:15:53. > :15:59.would assume that, normally, he would get past Augustine Choge. He

:15:59. > :16:06.might be rosti. You do not know when to commit in your first couple

:16:07. > :16:11.of races. Bernard Lagat cannot let Augustine Choge get away. People

:16:11. > :16:20.want to get onto his shoulder quickly. Bernard Lagat using his

:16:20. > :16:25.elbow to get past Egor Nikolaev. He wants to always come from behind,

:16:25. > :16:30.so it will be interesting to see if Augustine Choge has the pace and

:16:31. > :16:34.times it right to get a jump on Bernard Lagat. Heading for

:16:34. > :16:40.something under eight minutes, because they will pick up the pace.

:16:40. > :16:46.Andy Vernon sticking valiantly to his task. Egor Nikolaev in the best

:16:47. > :16:53.company. Augustine Choge, with 300 metres to go. Bernard Lagat in the

:16:53. > :17:03.position he likes to be in. A metre or so behind. It will be a fast

:17:03. > :17:03.

:17:03. > :17:12.last lap. Bernard Lagat is ready. Augustine Choge kicking on. He is

:17:12. > :17:20.trying to keep the advantage. That is smooth, he is a lovely looking

:17:20. > :17:29.rather, Bernard Lagat. This will be a warning to everybody. Bernard

:17:29. > :17:36.Lagat -- striding away. That is a lovely run. Augustine Choge in

:17:36. > :17:42.second place, Egor Nikolaev takes third place, Andy Vernon comes over

:17:42. > :17:46.the line in eight minutes or so. That will give him a bit of heart.

:17:46. > :17:55.He might attack be time in Birmingham. It was all about

:17:55. > :18:00.Bernard Lagat. He has had it and his own way. We have got more

:18:00. > :18:07.action in the high jump, the last attempt for Robbie Grabarz. Yes, it

:18:07. > :18:17.is all or nothing. Aleksey Dmitrik has had one failure. A Robbie

:18:17. > :18:19.

:18:19. > :18:23.Grabarz had the bar put up at 2.31. No. His best jump of the day, 2.29.

:18:24. > :18:28.That is the same height as he cleared to win the bronze medal in

:18:28. > :18:38.the London Olympics. On this occasion, he could not match the

:18:38. > :18:39.

:18:39. > :18:43.Russian. He is still in good shape. He is on the world stage, he is

:18:43. > :18:49.firmly established as one of the world's best, but today, here in

:18:49. > :18:54.Glasgow, he had to give way to a very good Russian. That have a

:18:54. > :18:59.quick look back at the last 400 metres. He was in the perfect

:18:59. > :19:07.position, but his pace was very impressive. It blows people away

:19:07. > :19:11.when you can inject a 25.2 final 200 metres. When you think how

:19:11. > :19:18.close Augustine Choge was last year, Bernard Lagat is getting better and

:19:18. > :19:22.better, at the age of 38. He is running faster and faster over the

:19:22. > :19:28.sprinting distances as well as the longer distances. His enthusiasm

:19:28. > :19:38.never wavers. He is like a 21 year ought. I love watching him run, he

:19:38. > :19:42.

:19:42. > :19:47.is in great form. A good win for I did not quite catch up with him,

:19:47. > :19:52.he is too fast for me! But it is great to see you here, you always

:19:52. > :19:59.give the crowd some joy. A tremendous performance. Thank you.

:19:59. > :20:03.It is always a pleasure to come here. Great Britain stages great

:20:03. > :20:09.sports events, it is great to be back in Glasgow, winning the 3000

:20:09. > :20:15.metres in front of this wonderful crowd. What about the finish? Paula

:20:16. > :20:19.Radcliffe said it was 25.2 for the final 200 metres. It must be

:20:20. > :20:29.delightful for you. I am really happy with that. I have been

:20:30. > :20:30.

:20:30. > :20:34.training with my coach. When I came over here, I knew I had speed.

:20:34. > :20:41.world indoor championships this year, what do you do now for the

:20:42. > :20:46.rest of the indoor season? I have to finish a few races first, one in

:20:46. > :20:52.Europe and two in the USA. Then, I trained hard for the outdoor

:20:52. > :20:59.championship in Russia. That is my long-term goal. I have three more

:20:59. > :21:03.races in all, then I will prepare for the World Championships. Then,

:21:03. > :21:10.the rivalry with Mo Farah. I am looking forward to racing him again,

:21:10. > :21:20.he is a good friend of mine. I am training for him now, because he is

:21:20. > :21:23.

:21:23. > :21:29.above me now. I have to train hard wait to see them race against each

:21:29. > :21:36.other in the summer. Mo Farah will have been watching that performance.

:21:36. > :21:46.Augustine Choge did not have the pace at the end. Andy Vernon still

:21:46. > :21:47.

:21:48. > :21:53.has a way to go to get his qualifying time for the Europeans.

:21:53. > :22:01.Great Britain not managing to close the gap at all. Commonwealth

:22:01. > :22:07.catching Great Britain. They can be certain of the result of the men's

:22:07. > :22:14.high jump, but we cannot give you the winning height. Aleksey Dmitrik

:22:14. > :22:23.going for 2.35. He was not a million miles away. He passed on

:22:24. > :22:31.his next attempt at 2.33. He has gone for broke, he has decided to

:22:31. > :22:36.have the bar at 2.35. He has never clear that height indoors. I have

:22:36. > :22:45.been very impressed with him today. Robbie Grabarz knows there is

:22:45. > :22:53.competition from Russia. Darya Klishina seems to have this

:22:53. > :23:03.competition wrapped up. A tremendous lift off the board. She

:23:03. > :23:05.

:23:05. > :23:10.really is powerful. One of the pin- up girls of Russian track-and-field.

:23:10. > :23:12.Somebody to watch out for in the future by the time we get to the

:23:12. > :23:21.European Indoor Championships and the world outdoor championships,

:23:21. > :23:27.provided she stays fit. There is no doubt she will win this competition.

:23:27. > :23:37.Dominique Blaize has improved up to third place. She is getting much

:23:37. > :23:44.

:23:44. > :23:48.From the longest event on the track to the shortest, the 60 metres, and

:23:48. > :23:58.from one American superstar to the other, Carmelita Jeter, one of the

:23:58. > :24:15.

:24:15. > :24:21.Being here last year at the Olympics was great, it was a great

:24:21. > :24:26.achievement, I accomplished so much. It will be pretty hard to top up

:24:27. > :24:30.this year, but I have my eyes set on a great year. The image of me

:24:30. > :24:35.pointing at the clock was all over the place, it was the cover of the

:24:35. > :24:40.New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, it was pretty court! I try

:24:40. > :24:45.not to print everything to the next year, because years are different,

:24:45. > :24:51.things are different, training is different. I loved the great things

:24:51. > :24:56.I did last year, and I would not change them for the world, but now

:24:56. > :25:03.it is 2013, it is a new year, it is a new race, and that is what I have

:25:03. > :25:07.to focus on, being better than I was. I am pleased with my training.

:25:07. > :25:14.I talked about a couple of things with my trainer, how we wanted to

:25:14. > :25:20.approach this year. Comedy Theatre Glasgow was more for me to improve

:25:20. > :25:25.on a couple of things, and to give my -- to get my mind ready to race.

:25:25. > :25:29.When I ran indoors, it gets me going a little sooner than waiting

:25:29. > :25:37.until May, waiting until July to really get the engine running. I

:25:37. > :25:42.think it will help my season. A new year, a new look. We are most

:25:42. > :25:47.keen to see what shape she is in. Considering she was one of the last

:25:47. > :25:52.people on the track at the end of 2012, she had a long season, so it

:25:52. > :25:59.is good to see her out, it is keeping her mind fresh. It is very

:25:59. > :26:09.early in the winter. I am curious to see how she runs. I wonder if we

:26:09. > :26:14.

:26:14. > :26:19.gold, silver and bronze in the Olympics, the second fastest woman

:26:19. > :26:26.of all time, 33 years old, still with the appetite. It is up to the

:26:26. > :26:36.others in this race to try to keep pace, but it will be hard. Verena

:26:36. > :26:52.

:26:52. > :27:02.Sailer has the best chance. Olga from deep coaching a stable, relay

:27:02. > :27:05.

:27:05. > :27:11.silver medals. Alongside her, this woman. The smile reappears for the

:27:11. > :27:18.instant, then the focus will return to the face. Verena Sailer has won

:27:18. > :27:26.a gold medal in two successive European Championships in up to 100

:27:26. > :27:31.metres in 2010 and the relay last year. There is Olga Belkina. She

:27:31. > :27:38.took the 200 metres earlier on. That is a much stronger event for

:27:38. > :27:44.her than this shorter sprint. Miana Griffiths was unlucky not to be

:27:44. > :27:54.selected for the Olympics. Both of her trial runs were just over the

:27:54. > :27:54.

:27:54. > :28:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:28:35. > :28:39.legal wind limit. Early-season towards the end. She takes it,

:28:39. > :28:47.Carmelita Jeter second. Verena Sailer takes the winner. She looks

:28:47. > :28:52.astonished herself. She shakes her head almost in disbelief. It will

:28:52. > :28:59.be a world best for this year. Carmelita Jeter looks stunned, the

:28:59. > :29:09.crowd is silent. The rain a sailor, what a run from the German. --

:29:09. > :29:24.

:29:24. > :29:27.blocks, Verena Sailer. She must have been surprised. I am Maj-Gen

:29:27. > :29:33.she expected Carmelita Jeter to be right on her shoulders. She was

:29:33. > :29:43.right out there on her own. Normally she has a bullet like

:29:43. > :29:44.

:29:44. > :29:50.start. The question was always she was going to have the speed at this

:29:50. > :29:59.stage in their career -- at this stage of the year. She knows she

:29:59. > :30:09.has been been -- has been beaten today. Don't you just love the

:30:09. > :30:15.

:30:15. > :30:22.Beating Carmelita Jeter, how thrilled her you? It feels good. I

:30:23. > :30:29.don't think I'm better than her! I guess it was her first race. I

:30:29. > :30:34.would never say I am better than her, she has an Olympic medallist!

:30:34. > :30:43.Are you planning to go to the European indoors in Gothenburg?

:30:43. > :30:49.I will. Hopefully I will stay healthy until then. This must be

:30:49. > :30:58.pleasing, because it tells you you are in great shape already. You yes,

:30:58. > :31:08.I am very happy about that. I stayed healthy all the time.

:31:08. > :31:13.

:31:13. > :31:19.What a remarkable run by Verena Sailer. Carmelita Jeter perhaps

:31:19. > :31:25.luggage to get out of her winter hibernation. All good billing care

:31:25. > :31:34.in third. I am delighted to say that Robbie

:31:34. > :31:42.Grabarz is beside me. Second place. Yes, solid. I would have liked one

:31:42. > :31:47.more bar. What was it like being announced to the crowd as Olympic

:31:47. > :31:57.bronze medallist? Really enjoyable. What has it been like since winning

:31:57. > :32:02.the medal? Lots of public appearances and all the hoopla. A

:32:02. > :32:07.took myself will wait to Australia for a couple of weeks, got a break

:32:07. > :32:16.from everything, and came back refreshed and trained hard.

:32:16. > :32:23.being team captain? It is lovely. Birmingham in a few weeks? Yes.

:32:23. > :32:32.hopefully the European indoors? I hope. We have been doing these

:32:32. > :32:42.wish lists with all the experts. Colin Jackson thinks you can jump

:32:42. > :32:42.

:32:42. > :32:46.2.40 this year. I hope so! Next up is the men 600 metres and we're all

:32:47. > :32:50.looking forward to see hike Dai Greene runs.

:32:50. > :32:57.They it is great to see you you. We're not used to seeing you

:32:57. > :33:04.indoors. What has brought you in from the cold? I didn't have the

:33:04. > :33:08.greatest of summers last year. It really wasn't enjoying its. I was

:33:08. > :33:12.desperate to get back on the track this year and the prospect of doing

:33:12. > :33:20.600 metres I couldn't really turn down. It is the right time of year

:33:20. > :33:26.for me to do something like this. How is training going and how have

:33:26. > :33:31.you been able to pick yourself up after the Olympics? I was really

:33:31. > :33:40.disappointed when I started back. I quickly realised that I had been

:33:40. > :33:44.harsh on myself. This year everything has gone very well. I

:33:44. > :33:50.haven't missed any training. It is back to business as usual. I am

:33:50. > :33:57.really enjoying what I'm doing at the moment. If things weren't going

:33:57. > :34:03.well, you wouldn't see me at this time of year. You didn't play a

:34:03. > :34:10.newer injuries last year. I think that was the right thing to do, to

:34:10. > :34:15.not inform people too much. Going into the lead -- going into the

:34:15. > :34:22.Olympics, I've still the second fastest in the world. The other

:34:22. > :34:26.guys raise their game so much. These things happen. When you are

:34:26. > :34:34.in the middle of it, you don't want to remind yourself of all the

:34:34. > :34:37.training you have missed. I am looking forward to this year,

:34:37. > :34:41.hopefully running a lot faster and being competitive throughout the

:34:41. > :34:51.year. Everything leads towards Moscow and I will hopefully defend

:34:51. > :34:55.

:34:55. > :35:05.Just to go back to London, she was devastated, wasn't he? 4th place

:35:05. > :35:10.

:35:10. > :35:14.for him was a real let-down. I like what he said, saying he didn't have

:35:14. > :35:17.the same preparation for the Olympic Games but he did for the

:35:17. > :35:25.world championships, and in a way that set you up for a bit of the

:35:25. > :35:35.year and he has realised that. anyone knows him, he is so hard on

:35:35. > :35:44.himself. If there was a gold medal for effort in training, he would

:35:44. > :35:50.get it. Were does that balance of power lie do you think between a

:35:50. > :35:57.400-metre runner and in the 800- metre runner in the 600-metre race?

:35:58. > :36:05.They will not have any idea themselves. They just want a good

:36:05. > :36:15.fast performance. Dai Greene said he hopes to take it out to about 48

:36:15. > :36:15.

:36:15. > :36:23.seconds after 400 metres. He is your money on, Steve Cram? I will

:36:23. > :36:32.always side with an 800-metre runner, of course! Roger Black ran

:36:32. > :36:42.76.2. The indoor record stands within 800-metre man. Normally,

:36:42. > :36:44.

:36:44. > :36:51.once you go beyond the 400 metres... of though, 400-metre hurdlers are

:36:51. > :37:01.normally faster at this, and stronger, than 400-metre flat

:37:01. > :37:08.

:37:08. > :37:13.lap, then break. Andrew a sack he is a bit worried about where he

:37:13. > :37:21.will be. He has missed a little bit of training. He had a brilliant

:37:21. > :37:27.year last year. He had a great run to make the final. He ran a big

:37:27. > :37:36.personal best, although he came last in the Olympics in the final.

:37:36. > :37:43.Duane Solomon is coached by the great Johnny Gray. Duane Solomon

:37:43. > :37:53.will be tough, if he has got over his jet lag. Andreas Lange from

:37:53. > :37:55.

:37:55. > :38:00.Germany, 21 years of age. Ivan Tukhtachev, more of the 1500 metres

:38:00. > :38:07.specialist. This might be a bit quick for him. I think it is up to

:38:07. > :38:12.Dai Greene to get out there and see if his strength is good enough to

:38:12. > :38:19.hold off the challenge that will come from maybe Andrew Osagie or

:38:19. > :38:29.Duane Solomon. He will see were his fitness is. In lane six, he has to

:38:29. > :38:32.

:38:32. > :38:38.get through the first 200 metres and the front. -- in the front. Dai

:38:38. > :38:44.Greene has gone quickly down the back straight. Andrew Versace try

:38:44. > :38:54.to get on terms. The American looks like he has gone off with intent to

:38:54. > :38:57.

:38:57. > :39:03.get to the front. These two are well ahead of the rest. 23.5, had

:39:03. > :39:09.the others overcook it? Duane Solomon is looking up at the screen.

:39:09. > :39:14.Dai Greene is looking comfortable behind him. Andrew has said she is

:39:14. > :39:20.getting a little bit closer. It will all happen in the last 200.

:39:20. > :39:29.Duane Solomon looks strong as he takes the bell. Andrew Osagie is

:39:29. > :39:34.taking closer order. Andrew Osagie is kicking down the back straight.

:39:34. > :39:40.Dai Greene is pulling hard. Duane Solomon that strong at the front.

:39:40. > :39:48.The American has this one. By Greene is coming again. The

:39:48. > :39:52.American is going to win it, Duane Solomon. Dai Greene is rewarded

:39:52. > :39:59.with second place but also beats Andrew Osagie. That will be a

:39:59. > :40:09.British record indoors for the 600 metres. That is a good time. I

:40:09. > :40:11.

:40:11. > :40:18.think they will both be reasonably pleased. Dai Greene said right at

:40:18. > :40:25.the beginning that Duane Solomon would be difficult to beat.

:40:25. > :40:35.Bragging rights go to the hurdler in this one? No doubt about that!

:40:35. > :40:39.

:40:39. > :40:45.The 800 metres specialist, he loses his record, and the British record

:40:46. > :40:54.by goes to Dai Greene. Dai Greene could really feel the pressure from

:40:54. > :41:01.Andrew Osagie at this point. Dai Greene drove hard for the line and

:41:01. > :41:06.was rewarded with a good second place. Just as they enter the final

:41:06. > :41:10.turn, you can imagine Dai Greene's lights are starting to feel it.

:41:10. > :41:20.Andrew Osagie is still full of running. In his normal event, he

:41:20. > :41:28.

:41:28. > :41:32.You gave the crowd a tremendous amount of entertainment. How did

:41:32. > :41:39.you find it? I was surprised at the speed that Duane Solomon went out

:41:39. > :41:46.that. He beat me to the break initially and then he dictated the

:41:46. > :41:53.place -- pace. Andrew, G Sawyer 800 metres stamina coming back at the

:41:53. > :42:03.end. I knew I was going to lose a lot in the first lap, so we tried

:42:03. > :42:03.

:42:03. > :42:09.not to panic. To run at time at that, I am really, really happy.

:42:09. > :42:16.Did you want to beat each other there? Friendly banter, I think. We

:42:16. > :42:25.don't often do this race. I think you put on a good race for the

:42:25. > :42:30.crowd. D'you fancy that? Any time! He ever one out to the two of us

:42:30. > :42:40.was going to get the British record. I will meet him again in a couple

:42:40. > :42:49.

:42:49. > :42:56.of months and it will definitely be for the first 600 metres in the

:42:57. > :43:06.Olympics final they needed here today. Duane Solomon is the winner.

:43:07. > :43:10.

:43:11. > :43:18.That is a new national record for Duane Solomon indoors, incidentally.

:43:18. > :43:24.Just to tidy things up and the long jump, Dominique place from group

:43:24. > :43:34.Britain, she had moved up from 5th place into third place. That

:43:34. > :43:37.

:43:37. > :43:46.happened in the third round. 6.22. It was a competent performance from

:43:46. > :43:49.the British multi- eventer. The ladies whose athletic future will

:43:49. > :43:54.continue in the multi- events, rather than specialising in the

:43:54. > :44:02.long jump. That is just one of seven disciplines that she takes

:44:03. > :44:12.part in. 6.22 is the longest she has jumped so far this year. Let's

:44:13. > :44:34.

:44:34. > :44:44.event to go. Russia are looking very powerful, as they always have

:44:44. > :44:55.

:44:55. > :45:05.done hearing Glasgow. -- you're in One more event to go, the 60 metres.

:45:05. > :45:34.

:45:34. > :45:44.Let's have the last of her wish medal! Usain Bolt will do it again!

:45:44. > :45:48.

:45:48. > :45:54.Steve Cram, you of the teacher. Everybody else was sitting on a

:45:54. > :45:59.bench, and you are saying, I am in charge! One of your predictions,

:45:59. > :46:06.British marathon men, there was a statistic, where will that come

:46:06. > :46:14.from? I am less bothered about the amount of Kenyans all Ethiopians.

:46:14. > :46:23.Two hours 10 minutes, there are lots of British men over the years,

:46:23. > :46:28.even in my day, all running two hours 12. Two hours 10, we should

:46:28. > :46:34.have half a dozen guys. Mo Farah will take on that distance shortly,

:46:34. > :46:38.but before that, let's get a few guys around him. The women have

:46:38. > :46:42.done pretty well, we have always been represented, we just need to

:46:42. > :46:51.get more of the men in there. Scott Overall has done well, but we need

:46:51. > :46:56.some more. What about the potential Usain Bolt and James? We were

:46:56. > :47:03.salivating at the thought of him stepping up to 400 metres. It was a

:47:04. > :47:09.real wish-list, and I do not think it will happen at! He normally runs

:47:09. > :47:13.one early season, he has undoubted ability, the question is, how fast

:47:13. > :47:18.can he go? It might take somebody like James to tease him into having

:47:18. > :47:23.a go. I am not sure he is up for the extra training, but I would

:47:23. > :47:29.love to see it as a one-off. might be the teacher, but I will

:47:29. > :47:36.get the pupils to give the impression. We would have to seek

:47:36. > :47:41.Usain Bolt run 400 metres. There is no doubt about it. Perhaps what he

:47:41. > :47:48.needs is the encouragement of year handbrake breaking his 200 metre

:47:48. > :47:53.record. -- encouragement of Yohan Blake. Let's go to the men's 60

:47:53. > :48:03.metres, Dwain Chambers in this one, Michael Rodgers as well. USA

:48:03. > :48:04.

:48:04. > :48:09.as the teams are concerned, but they will not be bothered. They

:48:09. > :48:13.have got personal pride at stake. Dwain Chambers will be looking for

:48:13. > :48:19.a good start to his season. The European Indoor Championships

:48:19. > :48:29.looming in Gothenburg in March. Michael Rodgers representing the

:48:29. > :48:40.

:48:40. > :48:50.USA, a silver medallist at the last United States. You would expect

:48:50. > :48:56.

:48:57. > :49:01.Michael Rodgers to beat Mikhail the 100 metres. Kim Collins has

:49:01. > :49:05.always been the St Kitts and Nevis champion, but he says no more, he

:49:06. > :49:09.now lives in Jamaica, after the treatment he received at the

:49:09. > :49:13.Olympic Games, he said he would never run for them again. That

:49:13. > :49:18.would be a shame, that would mean we would not see him at the World

:49:18. > :49:22.Championships in the summer. Dwain Chambers hung on to the number-one

:49:22. > :49:28.spot in Great Britain last year, but he knows that Adam Gemili will

:49:28. > :49:35.be a major force this year. Michael Rodgers, after the world indoor

:49:35. > :49:39.silver medal in 2010, he served a nine-month doping ban, which he

:49:39. > :49:44.finished just in time for the Olympic Games, the start of the

:49:44. > :49:50.Olympic season. Christian Blum, so often the German champion. A good

:49:50. > :50:00.60 metre runner, not able to commit -- convert that into a world-class

:50:00. > :50:00.

:50:00. > :50:10.100 metres. The quickest in the world this year, 6.57, the quickest

:50:10. > :50:11.

:50:12. > :50:18.in Britain this year, a new names improved his personal best, 6.61.

:50:18. > :50:24.The qualifying time for the British team, 6.60. Dwain Chambers would

:50:24. > :50:34.find that comfortably, but he wants to get the victory here for Great

:50:34. > :50:45.

:50:45. > :50:49.Chambers. Not the fastest start to his season, he might get quicker,

:50:49. > :50:54.but it is a new track, a new stadium, it always takes a while

:50:54. > :50:58.for the athletes to get used to it. We have seen some good times this

:50:58. > :51:03.year, and Dwain Chambers finishing with a victory for Great Britain.

:51:03. > :51:07.We have not had many today. They had to be good, because the other

:51:07. > :51:15.two were not far behind. He managed to get out of the blocks well, he

:51:15. > :51:20.set himself up nicely, Kim Collins came out of the blocks well. It was

:51:20. > :51:25.a very good start by Dwain Chambers. It is nerve-racking to start your

:51:26. > :51:30.season over 60 metres, you do not know where you are. You are never

:51:31. > :51:40.quite sure what your competitors can deliver. He gave it to them

:51:40. > :51:45.today. 6.58, that takes him to No. 2 in the world list. Verena Sailer

:51:45. > :51:53.set the women's fastest time, and now Dwain Chambers has produced the

:51:53. > :51:58.second best 60 metres in 2013. Good, strong running. The competitors

:51:58. > :52:08.know him well. Once he hit the front, no looking back, and a lot

:52:08. > :52:08.

:52:08. > :52:15.of pressure on his face. A very happy Dwain Chambers, and a victory

:52:15. > :52:23.for Great Britain at the very end. Fittingly, one of the older members

:52:23. > :52:29.of the team showing them how it is First, second and third with me.

:52:29. > :52:34.What about that? It is great to be here, the crowd were fantastic. It

:52:34. > :52:39.is great to show that the old boys are still holding on! You are still

:52:40. > :52:45.in there! A tremendous performance, you have one -- you have run twice

:52:45. > :52:50.today. I did not expect to do so well in the 200, but it is fun and

:52:50. > :52:54.games, I am always happy to compete in front of this crowd. You wanted

:52:54. > :52:59.to be a big part of this, you have supported British athletics, but it

:52:59. > :53:06.has been a difficult week for you. Tell me you're thinking about what

:53:06. > :53:11.you wanted to compete here. I sat down before the incident, the only

:53:11. > :53:17.thing I could do for my brother was to make sure he got a proper

:53:17. > :53:21.funeral and to make sure the police officers are brought to justice. It

:53:21. > :53:25.was excessive force, it should never have happened. We appreciate

:53:26. > :53:32.you talking about it. And giving the crowd so much entertainment.

:53:32. > :53:37.What about this guy? He is my role model! We have competed for a long

:53:37. > :53:41.time with each other. Let's not forget Michael Rodgers. That was a

:53:41. > :53:47.fantastic race between you, you pushed him hard, he picked you at

:53:47. > :53:57.the end. It was fun, it is always fun. He is the big man. Thank you

:53:57. > :54:04.

:54:04. > :54:09.but had Michael Rodgers just tried a little bit harder, it would have

:54:09. > :54:16.been significant as far as the match goes. The USA had to beat

:54:16. > :54:24.Russia by two places. It was not enough, so they have tied on points.

:54:24. > :54:34.Russia won because they have had more individual victories today.

:54:34. > :54:34.

:54:34. > :54:42.Great Britain just getting up ahead If you are just joining us, here

:54:42. > :54:49.are some of the highlights. Holly Bleasdale took the pole vault.

:54:49. > :54:55.Robbie crowbars was the captain, in second place. Perri Shakes Drayton

:54:55. > :55:00.in good form, just missing out. Bernard Lagat, he is still running

:55:00. > :55:07.brilliantly. A real surprise, Carmelita Jeter losing to Verena

:55:07. > :55:14.Sailer. Solomon taking the 600 metres. Dwain Chambers showing a

:55:14. > :55:19.great form in the 60 metres. Alongside me, the new head coach of

:55:19. > :55:27.UK Athletics. Congratulations on the job, you were in charge of the

:55:27. > :55:31.Paralympic team, how much of a transition is it? It is the same

:55:31. > :55:38.sport, more athletes in the system on the Olympic side, but it is the

:55:38. > :55:43.same sport, it is athletics. It is not a huge difference in that sense.

:55:43. > :55:49.Athletes are athletes to me. It has been easy, it is a good group to

:55:49. > :55:53.work with. I am happy with the start. There have been quite a few

:55:53. > :55:58.changes, you are looking at centralising in Loughborough. How

:55:58. > :56:04.difficult has the transition been to manage early on in your tenure?

:56:04. > :56:09.Any change is tough, but the set-up we have, the centralised system is

:56:09. > :56:19.not like cycling, we have it more as a hub, and athletes can come and

:56:19. > :56:22.go. We have athletes training in different groups, and we have

:56:22. > :56:28.athlete based support in Sheffield. We do not try to move people or

:56:28. > :56:33.force them to come to it, they come and go. It is a better system, to

:56:33. > :56:39.start afresh. Taking over from Charles, he had a certain way of

:56:39. > :56:45.doing things, big shoes to step into? It is a good programme to

:56:45. > :56:51.step into. It is not taking over from anybody, this is a different

:56:51. > :56:55.approach. It is moving forward from the Olympic Games. Let's come to

:56:55. > :57:02.the performance of the day with Colin Jackson and Denise Lewis. Who

:57:02. > :57:07.did you think deserves that? It was a tough call, there were many

:57:07. > :57:13.strong performances, but we ended up with Perri Shakes-Drayton. They

:57:13. > :57:20.really good performance in the 400 metres. That is a fair court. What

:57:20. > :57:25.about you? I am impressed with the youngster that came in late,

:57:25. > :57:32.because we had some injuries. Some athletes had very short notice,

:57:32. > :57:39.they showed up and performed well. Some of the others, Perri Shakes-

:57:39. > :57:46.Drayton, Robbie Grabarz, it is a good start. We had a very tough

:57:46. > :57:51.training period, say it is not easy to start up here, but we did good.

:57:51. > :57:56.A couple of old guys doing well, Bernard Lagat and Dwain Chambers.

:57:56. > :58:01.very good, strong performance from them. We need a bit of wisdom on

:58:02. > :58:06.the track, that is always very good indeed. The thank you very much.

:58:06. > :58:13.You can see Russia collecting their trophy, a strong performance from

:58:13. > :58:21.them. We are just about off air on BBC One, but straight after us, a

:58:21. > :58:31.final score. Tomorrow morning, live coverage of the Australian Open

:58:31. > :58:44.

:58:44. > :58:52.tennis from Melbourne. It is a It is the big event of the year,

:58:52. > :58:56.the European Indoor Championships. Thank you very much indeed, that is
