:00:50. > :00:57.In just a week's time, the IAAF world Championships takes place here

:00:58. > :01:04.in the London Stadium. Many stars are here and ready to thing June

:01:05. > :01:08.preparations. Wimbledon takes a rest and the baton has been passed to

:01:09. > :01:09.track and field. Here are some of the stellar names that will

:01:10. > :01:47.entertain. What a line-up we have today. This

:01:48. > :01:51.year's anniversary games is about looking forward. This day is

:01:52. > :01:54.significant for the British athletes who have not yet booked their place

:01:55. > :02:00.on the World Championship team. They are running out of time to impress

:02:01. > :02:04.the selectors. Not only is it important to perform, they have to

:02:05. > :02:09.reach the qualifying standards as well. Welcome. If you have came over

:02:10. > :02:16.from BBC Two, thank you frosting with us. A fantastic afternoon

:02:17. > :02:20.ahead. It has been an hour. I will introduce you to the guests who will

:02:21. > :02:25.be talking you through. We are joined by Brendan Foster in the

:02:26. > :02:30.studio and Denise and Paula are still here. Today is D-Day for many

:02:31. > :02:34.athletes. There is something to prove themselves but the selectors

:02:35. > :02:38.looking on at this stage, it could not be more appropriate that this is

:02:39. > :02:43.the stadium they will perform in in London. Some big names will feel

:02:44. > :02:56.that today is the day to put their names on that list. Anybody for whom

:02:57. > :02:58.the door is open, to come to this amazingly fast track with a great

:02:59. > :03:01.crowd and able to visualise what they are aiming for in a couple of

:03:02. > :03:05.weeks, there's not a better place to do it. This is the best chance to

:03:06. > :03:10.achieve those times. The men's 800 metres was a mess last week in terms

:03:11. > :03:15.of selection. Athlete had times but did not get positions. Pick out some

:03:16. > :03:20.runners. The men's 800 metres as the most contentious. Andrew Osagie is

:03:21. > :03:25.the only person with a time other than Jake Wightman who is in the

:03:26. > :03:33.race today. He does not want to do it. Andrew finished that. If they

:03:34. > :03:36.run at the time today, they do get that automatic discretionary

:03:37. > :03:40.selection. Kyle Langford finished third and has a chance of running

:03:41. > :03:45.the time. Andrew Assad Jay Haas to prove himself. Lots of tidying up to

:03:46. > :03:51.do. We have seen Dina Asher-Smith who has been carrying and have -- an

:03:52. > :03:55.injury and is recovering. More work for her. Zharnel Hughes looked like

:03:56. > :03:59.he would be the man to beat when it comes to the final but did not

:04:00. > :04:04.finish in the top two. He does has the time. When you expect him to be

:04:05. > :04:08.secure, today is another chance to tell the selectors, I am your man.

:04:09. > :04:14.Do not leave any doubt in the mind of the selectors. Racing at this

:04:15. > :04:18.track shows you are in form. He is. He got tighter in the closing stages

:04:19. > :04:23.at the trials. He has to step up to date and proved he has earned a

:04:24. > :04:27.spot. It is the perfect opportunity. It could not be better. Have went

:04:28. > :04:32.through the trials and put themselves in positions and now it

:04:33. > :04:35.is the time that they have to run. The atmosphere is fantastic and be

:04:36. > :04:41.stadium looks brilliant. We have already seen some fantastic action.

:04:42. > :04:48.It is wonderful to be here today. The pressure and the enjoyment. Some

:04:49. > :04:51.athletes are here to show off and others to qualify. Read about some

:04:52. > :04:58.great moments so far. One of those that we would not expect, a world

:04:59. > :05:10.record, before we had lunch. That was down to Tom Bosworth. It is the

:05:11. > :05:14.one-mile walk. He came here today and smashed the British record and

:05:15. > :05:20.the world-record. And smashed his own goals as well. Coming into it

:05:21. > :05:25.quietly talking to the past couple of days, he was looking something in

:05:26. > :05:32.the 5.4 zero. He was able to get by .3 one. There are some great

:05:33. > :05:38.athletes in the stadium. Serve -- Sebastian Coe and Denise Lewis. I

:05:39. > :05:42.wonder how many of them can run a five and a half minute mile.

:05:43. > :06:01.Sebastian Coe than six minutes 40 mile and were satisfied with that

:06:02. > :06:06.recently. It is about 2.2 five. Our mathematics are not exact. It is a

:06:07. > :06:11.quick marathon time. It is about showcasing how quick that looks on

:06:12. > :06:16.the track. To see the technique in action. Lap after lap. It was

:06:17. > :06:22.stunning. Never mind a quick marathon, it was equipped mile. I

:06:23. > :06:27.would be very happy if I could run one mile as quickly as that. And

:06:28. > :06:31.then we had the emotional moment when David Weir performed on the

:06:32. > :06:35.track for the last time. It was more a procession than a raise. He was

:06:36. > :06:41.given the opportunity to say goodbye to the track. The crowd understood

:06:42. > :06:44.what he has given to Paralympic sport. Six time Olympic

:06:45. > :06:55.gold-medallist and seven time London Marathon winner. The campaign has

:06:56. > :07:02.started to getting knighted. Do not be rude on television. He has done

:07:03. > :07:08.an amazing job. You can see the emotion today. Thank you to UK

:07:09. > :07:14.athletics forgiving him the chance to perform in this stadium, in

:07:15. > :07:21.manner, brilliant. I am still trying to work out who could run a five and

:07:22. > :07:25.a half minute mile. We had so much more to look forward to this

:07:26. > :07:30.afternoon. Here is a look for you to mark your card. International

:07:31. > :07:42.performances, British performances. One of my favourites, Kendra

:07:43. > :07:47.Harrison is going next. The women's 800 metres is the best of British.

:07:48. > :07:54.The high jump competition is world-class. And we mentioned

:07:55. > :07:59.Zharnel Hughes trying to secure his spot from London. We have the men's

:08:00. > :08:08.hurdles. A great women's long jump competition. Dafne Schippers looked

:08:09. > :08:14.fantastic in the heats for the 100 metres. She is up against the

:08:15. > :08:19.world's best, Elaine Thompson. And the men's 800 beaters, Jake Wightman

:08:20. > :08:23.is in great form this season. It all looks like a Laura Muir might be

:08:24. > :08:32.going for that British mile record will stop and Mo Farah will come on

:08:33. > :08:37.after that. Let us get down to the track. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is

:08:38. > :08:43.going in the first of the hurdles heats. COMMENTATOR: She knows she is

:08:44. > :08:49.outclassed in terms of the hurdles today but she wants to put herself

:08:50. > :08:52.in this position. Next month, she will be lining up in the stadium in

:08:53. > :08:56.her first event in the heptathlon with all of the pressure and she

:08:57. > :09:04.will need to get it right, this very technical event. This is a great

:09:05. > :09:13.rehearsal for her today. She is up against some of the best in the

:09:14. > :09:20.world. The first of two eats. We will see a woman in the past two has

:09:21. > :09:27.got it right in Kendra Harrison. She has also got it wrong in the past.

:09:28. > :09:31.Johnson-Thompson is now 29. A new personal best in the hurdles this

:09:32. > :09:39.year. That is the Belgian reckoned holder, just inside 13 seconds this

:09:40. > :09:43.season. Anne Zagre. This is such a strong event for the United States,

:09:44. > :09:55.Bridget Owens is not of the highest calibre. Kendra Harrison is at the

:09:56. > :09:58.very top. Broke the world record here last year. Did not realise she

:09:59. > :10:07.had done it initially because the timing was not quite right. Kristi

:10:08. > :10:10.Castlin is outside of, Olympics bronze-medallist but only finished

:10:11. > :10:21.in sixth place and the American trials. Jasmin Stowers ran 12.47 but

:10:22. > :10:40.only was in eighth place at the trials. And Nadine Visser, and the

:10:41. > :10:44.Austrian Stephanie Bendrat. Three to go through automatically in this

:10:45. > :10:49.first of two hit in the women's 100-metre hurdles. Kendra Harrison

:10:50. > :10:56.has not lost a race at any distance since finishing sixth in the US

:10:57. > :10:57.trials about this time last year. 19 successive victories over hurdles

:10:58. > :11:08.and 200 metres. She missed out on the Olympics which

:11:09. > :11:38.was the one, two, three for the United States.

:11:39. > :11:46.It is Kendra Harrison that takes it. The time is 12.40 eight. It is

:11:47. > :11:58.quick. It is such a quick time and made to look very easy. There are

:11:59. > :12:03.some very good athletes that she will have to face. Kendra Harrison

:12:04. > :12:08.on her day is a class apart. You are right, Andrew. She showed that to

:12:09. > :12:12.us, loud and clear. If anybody was doubting who is the favourite for

:12:13. > :12:18.the world title on this very track... You do not have to look any

:12:19. > :12:22.further than this young lady. I shaped -- I think she is technically

:12:23. > :12:28.better this year. More aggressive over the barriers and more

:12:29. > :12:37.controlled with her running. It will not surprise me if she beats that

:12:38. > :12:46.world-record. Look at Kendra Harrison Move over the barriers. Her

:12:47. > :12:51.world-record is 12.20 seconds. Normally in the women's hurdles, we

:12:52. > :12:55.would expect a tight finish but not when this junk lady is in the field.

:12:56. > :13:02.But she is head and shoulders above everybody. -- this young lady.

:13:03. > :13:06.Technically she is so effective over these barriers. She flicks per lead

:13:07. > :13:10.leg. She delays it long enough to get a good rhythm with her trail

:13:11. > :13:16.leg. She pulls it strongly in front of her and does not waste any time

:13:17. > :13:22.over the barrier whatsoever. She drives controlled aggression. This

:13:23. > :13:27.is just the heats. She safely made her way through the US trials this

:13:28. > :13:32.year so she will be in this stadium in three weeks' time and she will be

:13:33. > :13:40.certainly in the final later this afternoon. The gap between first and

:13:41. > :13:47.second. Johnson-Thompson was down at 13.45 seconds. ODE: That final is

:13:48. > :14:03.later born. She is a joy to watch. Let us get back out. The field is of

:14:04. > :14:08.high quality. COMMENTATOR: Perfect conditions for the field events.

:14:09. > :14:13.Especially the pole vault. Holly Bradshaw is under some pressure. She

:14:14. > :14:22.needs this to stay alive. Last attempt. It was not even close.

:14:23. > :14:28.Holly Bradshaw had three fouls. That look on her phase tells it all. I

:14:29. > :14:31.think it was a long step at the end, decelerating into the box are not

:14:32. > :14:38.able to put the energy and force into the pole. It is unfortunate but

:14:39. > :14:43.this junk lady is concentrating over the next 3-4 weeks about how to get

:14:44. > :14:46.into shape for the world Championships. Disappointing third

:14:47. > :14:51.time failure for Holly Bradshaw and knees to consolidate her

:14:52. > :15:02.early-season form. She has jumped 4.80 metres. Time for the discus.

:15:03. > :15:13.Last round. Daniel Stahl chasing down the lead of Fedrick Dacres.

:15:14. > :15:21.Great clash between these two. Showing us his guns. Good work,

:15:22. > :15:26.Daniel. I think it is close. 66.66 metres is the lead. Got his right

:15:27. > :15:31.hip onto that. De Laet as his arm comes through. His hip goes on and

:15:32. > :15:38.his armed followers. He is in great form. 71 metres this year. 66.73

:15:39. > :15:58.metres. That is a victory. Switzerland, Nicole Buchler goes

:15:59. > :16:07.clear. The women's pole vault coming to a climax. We still have the

:16:08. > :16:12.climax to come. And Stefanidi is still involved. But Nicole Buchler

:16:13. > :16:19.is clear at this height. 4.73, a really solid clearance for Nicole

:16:20. > :16:29.Buchler. A season's best. She has jumped higher in the past. Fist pump

:16:30. > :16:35.from her. Heat two of the women's 100-metre hurdles. We saw Harrison

:16:36. > :16:42.looking so quick. What a day for Yasmin Miller of Derby, 22 years

:16:43. > :16:48.old, finished second last week in the European Championships. In great

:16:49. > :16:56.company. Raven Clay replaced Prandelli in the 100 metres earlier.

:16:57. > :17:02.Sally Pearson, good to see Sally back and running well. The season 's

:17:03. > :17:09.best was still what she set in Australia. I'm sure she would like

:17:10. > :17:12.to go quick here, and former Olympic champion, Megan Simmonds,

:17:13. > :17:16.23-year-old from Jamaica. A semifinalist last year in Rio.

:17:17. > :17:20.Christina Manning is having a cracking year. The strength in depth

:17:21. > :17:25.of American hurdling is almost legendary, but she got into the

:17:26. > :17:30.team. Finishing third in the championships. The final wasn't a

:17:31. > :17:40.fast affair. Nia Ali, as consistent as ever. Olympic silver-medallist.

:17:41. > :17:47.But it was Sharika Nelvis who won the other night in Lausanne amidst

:17:48. > :17:52.some confusion in the commentary box. Pedersen, the Norwegian having

:17:53. > :18:02.a very good year. 12.75 is her new personal best. Just to remind you,

:18:03. > :18:17.the top three will go through. They will join Harrison, Natalie

:18:18. > :18:22.Visser and Jasmin Stowers. The Americans will have four at the

:18:23. > :18:57.World Championships. Megan Simmonds gets a very good

:18:58. > :19:03.start. Pearson going well. Raven Clay hitting the first couple of

:19:04. > :19:10.hurdles. It will be very tight. Pearson hangs onto a top place.

:19:11. > :19:14.Wasn't the cleanest of races. Manning went well. Did Nia Ali miss

:19:15. > :19:19.out? It might have been quick enough, it looking at the time. Not

:19:20. > :19:24.as quick as the winner of the first heat. The others were further

:19:25. > :19:30.behind. Much closer between the top four here, I would imagine they will

:19:31. > :19:37.all go through. Manning, not somebody when you look at the names,

:19:38. > :19:42.but running consistently well. Not much between them. This is the kind

:19:43. > :19:45.of sprint hurdle race we really expect from the women's event. Very

:19:46. > :19:51.close. You could almost throw a blanket over them. Sally Pearson, I

:19:52. > :19:55.think she could have run a season's best. She will not be far off. I

:19:56. > :19:59.think she was getting too close to the hurdles and was struggling to

:20:00. > :20:06.hold it all together. But a season Park best is still pretty good. But

:20:07. > :20:10.how tight it is. You can why Kendra Harrison is so far ahead of

:20:11. > :20:18.everybody else. This is all about silver. She's lent, did one of your

:20:19. > :20:23.finishes, and Manning stood up across the line. Didn't matter, she

:20:24. > :20:31.knew she was in the top three. I think Manning will go through also.

:20:32. > :20:35.She is so far ahead, does it upset everybody else's rhythm? Kenny is so

:20:36. > :20:39.good, takes herself so far out of the game, that really she doesn't

:20:40. > :20:43.affect the others in any particular way. They can concentrate on the

:20:44. > :20:46.battle for the silver medals. That's really strange when you think of

:20:47. > :20:49.world-class running and world-class performances, that we can just give

:20:50. > :20:57.a gold medal to somebody. But we always know. There is a top three,

:20:58. > :21:02.Nia Ali will definitely qualify, as will Pedersen and Castlin from the

:21:03. > :21:11.first heat. They will be the nine in the final later. The women's pole

:21:12. > :21:18.vault. Holly Bradshaw out in sixth place. This is the Olympic champion

:21:19. > :21:26.Stefanidi. A second attempt at this height and comfortable. Showed her

:21:27. > :21:34.class there. Matches the clearance we saw from Nicole Buchler of

:21:35. > :21:38.Switzerland. Very consistent, Tony. You see the speed of her on the

:21:39. > :21:43.runway. It's all about developing the speed and being able to put the

:21:44. > :21:50.energy in. Much more compact and a much tighter sprinter and carries

:21:51. > :21:53.the speed into the poll. The Olympic champion setting out her stall in

:21:54. > :22:00.the World Championships, in this very stadium, just a few weeks to

:22:01. > :22:05.go. She will go in as favourite. The athletes taking part in the long

:22:06. > :22:12.jump. Dan Bramble, most notably among the Brits. Ashley Bryant, the

:22:13. > :22:22.multi-event is starting off. Also Henderson, jumping last. Here is

:22:23. > :22:28.Jeff Henderson. Round two. He had a foul in the first round. Fast on the

:22:29. > :22:38.approach. Over eight metres the Henderson. Fifth at the US trials

:22:39. > :22:43.with 8.28. How has he got away with that? Surely it's a foul. I think he

:22:44. > :22:50.nicked the plasticine. Did he get one pass the judges? He got the

:22:51. > :22:57.white flag. The way he accelerates halfway down the runway. This event

:22:58. > :23:06.is all about speed. And these guys are jumping into headwinds. Eight

:23:07. > :23:11.point 17 there. The women's 800 metres in the London stadium. Not a

:23:12. > :23:17.Diamond League event, but has one of the best in the world this year.

:23:18. > :23:27.Charlene Lipsey in lane six, the American has been very impressive.

:23:28. > :23:30.Alexandra Bell getting a run out. Oskan-Clarke, a great performer on

:23:31. > :23:36.big occasions. Fifth at Beijing. A great Strieder. Won the UK

:23:37. > :23:43.Championships in Birmingham last weekend. And there is Charlene

:23:44. > :23:54.Lipsey. She and Wilson might be the three to dominate this event. Adelle

:23:55. > :23:57.Tracey took second by a fraction, taking the second automatic

:23:58. > :24:11.qualifying place ahead of Lynsey Sharp. Sharing lane four, Laura

:24:12. > :24:19.Rosler was fourth last year. Esther Guerrero, the Spaniard. Lynsey

:24:20. > :24:33.Sharp, sixth place in Rio. Disappointed to miss out in Rio.

:24:34. > :24:40.Angela Petty, the New Zealander. Capable of quickly goes in lane two.

:24:41. > :24:53.Williams, initially more of a 400-metre runner. Not only Charlene

:24:54. > :25:01.Lipsey, might be a contender for a medal at the World Championships, we

:25:02. > :25:04.have a domestic battle between Oskan-Clarke, Lynsey Sharp and

:25:05. > :25:12.Adelle Tracey, who duelled it out in Birmingham last weekend.

:25:13. > :25:20.The women's 800 metres under way. Watch how Lynsey Sharp runs in lane

:25:21. > :25:25.three. She was happy to be boxed in in Lausanne because she felt she

:25:26. > :25:29.didn't have to waste energy, going wide and making up the extra metres.

:25:30. > :25:36.She likes to run pretty fast from the offset. Very different watching

:25:37. > :25:40.Laura Muir and Hassan running the 800 metres at Lausanne, doing it

:25:41. > :25:47.differently, starting slowly and then picking off athletes. Very much

:25:48. > :25:51.a proving ground for Lynsey Sharp, racing here today. She needs to get

:25:52. > :25:56.her confidence back and race well. She needs to put herself in the

:25:57. > :25:59.right position within the race. She's in a great race against

:26:00. > :26:05.Charlene Lipsey, who ran so well and so quickly in Lausanne. Lynsey Sharp

:26:06. > :26:11.putting herself wide in a lot of races. Finally last week she got

:26:12. > :26:16.into the box. The form is there, but not quite the confidence. Kendra

:26:17. > :26:26.Chambers, the pacemaker, did her job. As to go in 57 seconds. 57.2

:26:27. > :26:34.to, nobody really going with her. Oskan-Clarke always judges her races

:26:35. > :26:38.so well. It Charlene Lipsey just ahead of Lynsey Sharp and moving

:26:39. > :26:46.through is Esther Guerrero, the Spaniard on the outside. A good race

:26:47. > :26:50.here. It's bunched up. Guerrero getting elbowed and checks her

:26:51. > :26:55.stride. Lynsey Sharp in a good position but being tracked all the

:26:56. > :27:01.time by Oskan-Clarke. Charlene Lipsey, one of the two very strong

:27:02. > :27:05.Americans with Wilson this season. Lynsey Sharp digging in. Trying to

:27:06. > :27:17.stay on. Here comes Oskan-Clarke once again. Lipsey with the win.

:27:18. > :27:21.It's interesting, I'm sure Lynsey Sharp will get a nod for the team,

:27:22. > :27:26.but once again, Shelayna Oskan-Clarke tends to judge the

:27:27. > :27:33.races so well. We wonder if she can challenge the big three. Lynsey

:27:34. > :27:39.Sharp gave it everything and just fading in the final 20. I think

:27:40. > :27:42.Lynsey Sharp will be selected. We also doing Oskan-Clarke a disservice

:27:43. > :27:47.when we talk about Lynsey Sharp as number one. She was number one last

:27:48. > :27:51.year, but this year Shelayna Oskan-Clarke has taken her racing up

:27:52. > :27:55.a level and has consistently, through the indoor and outdoor

:27:56. > :28:00.season so far raced well and put herself in the right places in races

:28:01. > :28:03.raced strongly. Lynsey Sharp may be over committing a little bit and

:28:04. > :28:08.maybe not having enough elected in the tank in the closing straight to

:28:09. > :28:11.fight to the line. But Shelayna Oskan-Clarke did that and raced

:28:12. > :28:15.really well, underlining her selection going to the World

:28:16. > :28:19.Championships. I think Lynsey Sharp will join her. Adelle Tracey might

:28:20. > :28:23.be disappointed with her run today. She was impressive in the trials

:28:24. > :28:32.last week but less so today. A good finish as well. Hedda Hynne, the

:28:33. > :28:38.Norwegian, just leaking through the gap. The only thing missing for

:28:39. > :28:40.Oskan-Clarke our times. But a season's best, going under two

:28:41. > :28:50.minutes for the first time of the season.

:28:51. > :29:01.Alexandra Bell, eighth place and a season's best time. STUDIO: We have

:29:02. > :29:06.some music on now, the start of something a little unusual, but

:29:07. > :29:11.sadly not unusual in. This is the quartet of the 4x400 metres, who

:29:12. > :29:15.came fourth in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and have since been upgraded

:29:16. > :29:21.to a bronze level because of the disqualification of Russia. Today

:29:22. > :29:25.they are going to be presented with that bronze medal. There is a

:29:26. > :29:29.protocol, the anthem will be played, and they will get to have their

:29:30. > :29:37.moment. Denise, it's been said by many who have been upgraded, you

:29:38. > :29:41.never get that moment back, do you? The moment in the stadium when the

:29:42. > :29:47.adrenaline has been pumping and you race yourself to a podium position.

:29:48. > :29:50.No, you don't. This is the crime of the drug cheats who rob athletes of

:29:51. > :29:58.their moment to shine. I remember this four by four. The boys worked

:29:59. > :30:03.hard. Martyn Rooney battled well. But today has to be bittersweet for

:30:04. > :30:04.the athletes. It is time that they get the recognition, but it isn't

:30:05. > :30:25.the same. 'S protocol them. There will be

:30:26. > :30:29.deeply Grantham the Phantom Manor JJ Watt usually get with a bronze

:30:30. > :30:44.medal. I wonder what is going through the mind, thinking back to

:30:45. > :30:49.that day? There is also sponsorship. It could have made changes to the

:30:50. > :30:57.decisions they make. This mob that will give them something. I think

:30:58. > :31:06.Martyn Rooney will still be slightly angry. It did hurt. Nine years ago.

:31:07. > :31:11.He has gone on to have a very good career since. Who knows? It is not

:31:12. > :31:17.just the funding and sponsorship, it is the belief. When people cheat and

:31:18. > :31:23.take that away from you there is very little you can see to

:31:24. > :31:28.compensate. It is about the training. These boys went to the

:31:29. > :31:33.competition believing they could win the medal out right on the day.

:31:34. > :31:37.Believing that all the training was coming to the fourth. To get

:31:38. > :31:44.everything on the track and to be robbed like that, it is tough. Some

:31:45. > :31:48.of the boys have moved on and have forged different careers. That

:31:49. > :31:57.moment in the stadium was everything. I mentioned Jessica

:31:58. > :32:04.Ennis Hill. Hor medal was upgraded. Andrew Steele getting his moment. We

:32:05. > :32:09.will see so many moments in London. The sport is working very hard, the

:32:10. > :32:16.new ethics committee to make sure in the future that we don't. To make

:32:17. > :32:22.sure that people's faith in the sport is restored. And that they can

:32:23. > :32:27.believe. It is so you have somewhere to go so your case is heard. When

:32:28. > :32:32.you are robbed, it does not take nine years to get your medal. You

:32:33. > :32:40.mentioned a list of names. Kelly subaltern. Far too many athletes if

:32:41. > :32:50.you do not mind me saying. They will enjoy this anthem. ANTHEM: God Save

:32:51. > :33:36.The Queen. APPLAUSE

:33:37. > :33:42.. Bingham, Rooney, steel and Tobin. The Beijing Olympics 4x400 metres

:33:43. > :33:47.relay. You can run but you cant hide. The sport will catch it. Let

:33:48. > :33:52.us get out on the track for some middle distance running. The 1500

:33:53. > :33:59.metres. Steve Cram will commentate. And will comment on what you are

:34:00. > :34:04.seeing. COMMENTATOR: I was chatting earlier on. There are two messages.

:34:05. > :34:10.The positive message about these guys getting the medal that they

:34:11. > :34:14.fully deserved. It is also about the moment that was robbed from them. We

:34:15. > :34:19.have to continue the battle to make sure we do not have the ceremonies

:34:20. > :34:24.in the future, as good as they are. Let us hope we have less of them in

:34:25. > :34:32.the future. Well done, guys. Good moment for them. Colin and I was

:34:33. > :34:43.seeing, should they have not came out in the 2008 kit? I still have

:34:44. > :34:52.got my 1980 tracksuit top. It looks so small hanging in the wardrobe. My

:34:53. > :35:02.1972 top is very tight. Good to see the guys. We have got the 1500

:35:03. > :35:10.metres. Let us talk about selection. Charlie Grice, Jake Wightman, George

:35:11. > :35:17.Kerevan Chris O'Hare. They went to the British trials. Charlie did not

:35:18. > :35:22.perform well. It looks like Jake Reichmann would get the third spot.

:35:23. > :35:27.Charlie Grice has elected not to race today and hopes the selectors

:35:28. > :35:32.can be trusted for what he has so far. Charlie does not have many

:35:33. > :35:38.options. Kristy Oatley is guaranteed a place. He ran very smartly last

:35:39. > :35:47.week. I was enjoying Chris Brunt. He had a good race against Mo Farah at

:35:48. > :35:51.the start of the season. There are two canyons. You could see Vincent

:35:52. > :35:59.Kibet. And the frustrations that Charlie would have from not running

:36:00. > :36:09.well last week. He is running in Switzerland on Tuesday. Filip

:36:10. > :36:21.Ingebrigtsen is part of the family that is taking over. The young

:36:22. > :36:33.Norwegian ran a junior steeplechase. Watch out for his name.

:36:34. > :36:43.Please stand up, gentlemen. Back to the Ryan -- back to the line. False

:36:44. > :36:46.start in the 1500 metres. Charlie Grice in the frustrating situation

:36:47. > :36:59.to find himself in. The selections will be named tomorrow.

:37:00. > :37:07.Despite having the qualifying time, it was great to see the four British

:37:08. > :37:11.men running at 1500 metres. To have such a competitive Championships.

:37:12. > :37:14.This is a competitive race here. For Chris O'Hare, this is the race he

:37:15. > :37:20.will face in the world Championships. He needs to conduct

:37:21. > :37:24.himself well. That is all he needs to do. Learn from this race and

:37:25. > :37:31.conduct himself. He can go out with no pressure on himself. Ideal for

:37:32. > :37:35.Charlie Grice, he is the leading 1500 metre runner. He is a finalist

:37:36. > :37:40.in the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games. The progress

:37:41. > :37:44.that he has been enjoying. Charlie Grice is down the outside. But

:37:45. > :37:48.progress has been interrupted by the bad race he ran in the trials. He

:37:49. > :38:00.will be burning with desire to run well today. The men he is running

:38:01. > :38:04.next to, Chris O'Hare, he is relaxed. We thank the Chris O'Hare

:38:05. > :38:10.will take a chance and run fast here today. Charlie has slotted in behind

:38:11. > :38:17.his team-mate Chris O'Hare. Robbie Fitzgibbon is just further back, his

:38:18. > :38:27.training partner. Bethel Bergen is wanting to press this. Kibet ran

:38:28. > :38:31.well in Switzerland last night. Paul Marshall has got himself up. Three

:38:32. > :38:38.British athletes very much in the top six or seven. Filip Ingebrigtsen

:38:39. > :38:45.moving out. They come through 700 metres. They are heading something

:38:46. > :38:52.for the 3.35 as long as they do not slow to much. There are two Kenyan

:38:53. > :38:55.athletes in second and third. Big race between Chris O'Hear in fourth

:38:56. > :39:02.place and right behind him and tracking him sensibly, Charlie

:39:03. > :39:06.Grice. He moves ahead of Chris O'Hare. He is telling him he is good

:39:07. > :39:10.enough. I think he is good enough. He has not won as well this year as

:39:11. > :39:16.he has in the pass. This is his chance to get in the middle of this.

:39:17. > :39:21.You can imagine that Jake Wightman on the warm up track will be

:39:22. > :39:35.watching this. All Charlie can do is run as well as he can.

:39:36. > :39:46.400 metres to go. Kibet starts to push on. Charlie Grice following on.

:39:47. > :39:49.Charlie Grice is running strongly, challenging Kibet. Filip

:39:50. > :39:55.Ingebrigtsen is moving quickly. Chris O'Hare on the inside. He

:39:56. > :40:02.slightly slowing. Charlie Grice has run a good race. Filip Ingebrigtsen

:40:03. > :40:07.has struggled so far this year. His younger brother has been gaining all

:40:08. > :40:17.of the headlines. Charlie Grice is still in a good position. Now Chris

:40:18. > :40:22.O'Hare finds the gap. It is Filip Ingebrigtsen who has stolen a march.

:40:23. > :40:28.Kibet is chasing. Look at Chris O'Hare with his blistering turn of

:40:29. > :40:33.pace. Chris O'Hare trying to get there. He is sprinting for this. He

:40:34. > :40:46.is going to get it. Chris oche wins at. Three

:40:47. > :40:55.he got a personal best and attacked too early. He normally times are

:40:56. > :41:01.very well. What he did not do last weekend, he doesn't panic. He got in

:41:02. > :41:07.a bad position. Chris does not panic and waits for the gaps to appear. He

:41:08. > :41:10.trusts himself and his pace and came away with the win. He comes on the

:41:11. > :41:18.finishing pace. He trusts his finishing. He battles in the

:41:19. > :41:24.finishing straight. He has not won it comfortably, he did it by working

:41:25. > :41:28.hard and sticking to it, by crossing the line, leaning forward and

:41:29. > :41:31.pushing every ounce. There he is moving quickly into the finishing

:41:32. > :41:38.straight. Charlie Grice had ran a fine race. He was fading away. It is

:41:39. > :41:43.down to three men. Who wanted to win it most? Chris O'Hare, the British

:41:44. > :41:46.champion, looking for the post before going to the world

:41:47. > :41:54.Championships. -- looking for the boost. Superb performance for Chris

:41:55. > :42:05.oche. Not his personal best but not far off it. Kibet and Filip

:42:06. > :42:09.Ingebrigtsen not far behind. Chris is now with Phil. Brendan Foster was

:42:10. > :42:15.talking about getting a boost before the World Championship. It is so

:42:16. > :42:21.much fun out here. Listening to the national anthem. Watching the boys

:42:22. > :42:28.get their medal. It gave me a boost. The pace was not comfortable. I was

:42:29. > :42:37.trying to keep working hard in training. My legs were not fresh.

:42:38. > :42:42.With 300 to go, I felt fine. I had to push out to get back into the

:42:43. > :42:46.race. And that determination is something above all else we have

:42:47. > :42:51.seen from you time after time, that fighting spirit you have got deep

:42:52. > :42:54.within you. You have to fight for what you want, nobody will give it

:42:55. > :42:58.to you. If you want to be the best you have to fight for that. What

:42:59. > :43:03.about being back here for the world Championships with this as a

:43:04. > :43:12.sendoff? It is amazing. That is going to be more people here for the

:43:13. > :43:21.Worlds. The crowd no how to get behind us. It will be magical.

:43:22. > :43:23.Congratulations. ODE: There are some athletes who raise their game. That

:43:24. > :43:37.was a great display. He puts together everything you need

:43:38. > :43:43.to be to be a top performer. He is really calm. He judged that

:43:44. > :43:49.perfectly. He took the bit between his teeth. He was impetuous and

:43:50. > :44:04.possibly attacked too soon. He timed it to perfection, Chris oche. To be

:44:05. > :44:10.healthy and racing well, coming into the home Championships. Charlie

:44:11. > :44:15.Grice had everything to win today. Chris O'Hare had a little bit to

:44:16. > :44:22.lose. He did not panic. He really deserved that victory. The man they

:44:23. > :44:26.all aspire to, that led the way to middle distance running for nearly a

:44:27. > :44:33.decade now, it'll be his farewell season on the track, Mo Farah.

:44:34. > :44:47.Reluctantly crowd at the starting line. Engines pumping in line. The

:44:48. > :44:52.green flag score up. It is Mo Farah. He is sprinting away. Bow to his

:44:53. > :44:59.superiority. Mo Farah wins the gold. He is striking for home now. Mo

:45:00. > :45:05.Farah is the world champion again. He is the double Olympic champion.

:45:06. > :45:07.Have you seen anything like that? He is going to get gold for Great

:45:08. > :45:18.Britain again. The double-double. Any seconds now we will see their

:45:19. > :45:32.men's 400-metre hurdles with Olympic champion Kerron Clement. The men's

:45:33. > :45:40.200 metres in includes Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake. And Aries Merritt is

:45:41. > :45:45.getting close to his best. The Olympic champion in the women's long

:45:46. > :45:49.jump, Bartoletta. Followed by the final of the women's 100 metres with

:45:50. > :45:58.Elaine Thompson and Dafne Schippers going head-to-head. Allyson Felix,

:45:59. > :46:08.another American legend here today. The men's 800 metres features Amos.

:46:09. > :46:14.The first of two sprint hurdles finals. Cameron Harrison recreate

:46:15. > :46:19.the record run from this time last year. Laura Muir is after Zola

:46:20. > :46:26.Budd's record in the mile, 30 years old. Mo Farah will be rounding off

:46:27. > :46:31.an amazing afternoon in the 3000 metres. We can get out. Andrew

:46:32. > :46:34.Cotter can talk us through the start of the 400-metre hurdles.

:46:35. > :46:40.COMMENTATOR: Jack Green just had his introduction. Kerron Clement, the

:46:41. > :46:44.Olympic champion, not great by his lofty standards this season, only

:46:45. > :46:48.seventh in the US championships but he's OK for the World Championships.

:46:49. > :46:53.He has a wild card is the 2016 Diamond League race when. Kyron

:46:54. > :46:57.McMaster from the British Virgin Islands. What an improvement this

:46:58. > :47:04.year. Went below 49 seconds for the first time, and then 47.8. Eric

:47:05. > :47:10.Futch won the US title in Sacramento last month in a personal best time.

:47:11. > :47:13.We have the one and two from the US trials because Michael Stigler was

:47:14. > :47:25.second in Sacramento, also a personal best there of 48.2 six. A

:47:26. > :47:31.very strong line-up. Mamadou Kasse Hann from France. The former

:47:32. > :47:35.Senegalese athlete. Quincy Downing has the second quickest time in the

:47:36. > :47:41.world this year, Duran that in Jamaica at the start of June, but

:47:42. > :47:49.only sixth at the US Championship. No Worlds for Quincy. On the inside,

:47:50. > :47:55.Jacob Paul. He was second at the UK Championships behind Jack Green.

:47:56. > :48:00.Green is in lane nine. Jacob Paul looking for the qualifying standard.

:48:01. > :48:05.Jack Green looking to get down into the 48s. He says he's feels

:48:06. > :48:12.comfortable at the low 49s. Wants to get back to where he was in 2012.

:48:13. > :48:25.Can he do it today? Strong line-up. The Diamond League points leader is

:48:26. > :48:29.not here. Jacob Paul on the inside. Downing, Hann, Stigler, Eric Futch,

:48:30. > :48:50.McMaster, Clement, Copello and Jack Green.

:48:51. > :49:00.Jack Green on the far outside running with nobody outside him, but

:49:01. > :49:07.Copello moves quickly alongside. McMaster in lane six, a barrier is

:49:08. > :49:13.clattered. McMaster is flying over the opening 200. Jacob Paul looking

:49:14. > :49:19.for a qualifying standard on the inside. Jacob Paul tends to finish

:49:20. > :49:23.races strongly. McMaster of the British Virgin Islands is a long way

:49:24. > :49:29.clear of the rest. He is the quickest man in the world this

:49:30. > :49:34.season. A little stumble from McMaster. Getting tired now. They

:49:35. > :49:42.are chasing him down. Stigler and Clement are both coming. McMaster is

:49:43. > :49:46.tiring. Just so well. Clement said he was struggling a bit this season,

:49:47. > :49:50.but perhaps he's timing this season as well as he timed that race. A

:49:51. > :49:56.slap on the backside, celebration Copello. Rate stuff from Clement.

:49:57. > :49:59.McMaster, we know his youthful exuberance and his talent, but he

:50:00. > :50:04.got it a little bit wrong in terms of judgment. Just went off too fast.

:50:05. > :50:09.Clement with a season's best time for victory. The right time to be

:50:10. > :50:12.turning it on and Kerron Clement is certainly doing that. This is where

:50:13. > :50:16.experience comes in. Clement has been around a long time. He will

:50:17. > :50:20.have seen all this in front of him with people going off and tearing

:50:21. > :50:25.round the first 300 metres and not being able to sustain it. He has a

:50:26. > :50:30.huge gap to make up, but the young man McMaster stumbled so badly off

:50:31. > :50:36.that barrier. He fell apart and crumbled. Watching him all away

:50:37. > :50:41.around, the master has to be very careful trailing. When he pulls his

:50:42. > :50:46.trailing leg around the barriers he sometimes doesn't clear it. He has

:50:47. > :50:50.to be careful. In some Championships that will be scrutinised and he

:50:51. > :50:58.could end up being discovered by. That was a tough 48.12 for him. A

:50:59. > :51:06.quick race, but Clement, the Olympic champion, takes it.

:51:07. > :51:18.Stefanidi, unbeaten so far in 2017. The Olympic champion. Comfortable

:51:19. > :51:25.again. Tony, she's really taken control of the competition. Great

:51:26. > :51:29.speed into the poll. This is the height she comfortable at. We will

:51:30. > :51:43.see where she goes next. 4.73, the bar will go to 4.81 next. Stefanidi

:51:44. > :51:47.going clear at this site. This is 4.81 just to confirm. First-time

:51:48. > :51:50.clearance for Stefanidi. Looking really good ahead of Morris, the

:51:51. > :52:03.silver-medallist from Rio. Another field event underway, the

:52:04. > :52:08.long jump with Dan Bramble chasing automatic qualification of 8.15, but

:52:09. > :52:14.jumping into a slight headwind. Has jumped eight metres already this

:52:15. > :52:19.year, just below it there. Hasn't quite got into that form today. His

:52:20. > :52:25.best so far is 7.4 nine. This looks a little better. Just shy of eight

:52:26. > :52:31.metres, Tony. Just forward rotating a little bit. Much better speed. 12

:52:32. > :52:35.centimetres is the difference on the board, a bit of wasted distance.

:52:36. > :52:40.Drops his head and comes in early. Keep his chest and head up and he

:52:41. > :52:50.will have a better chance of getting up to the 8.15 he needs. 7.8 four.

:52:51. > :52:57.Looking to get himself fit, Greg Rutherford. Dan Bramble hoping to

:52:58. > :53:01.join Rutherford. Henderson, his compatriot. The two Americans out in

:53:02. > :53:07.front. Michael Hartfield was seventh at the US trials with 7.94, such is

:53:08. > :53:16.the strength. He would make the team in any other in the world. Apart

:53:17. > :53:21.from North America. Michael Hartfield, quick, isn't he? Quick

:53:22. > :53:26.and a much flatter trajectory at take-off. We saw Dan Bramble go up

:53:27. > :53:32.and down and stole a bit. This chap carries more speed across the board

:53:33. > :53:38.and carries it into the pit. 7.99 for Hartfield. Nicole Buchler to

:53:39. > :53:45.stay in the competition and match the clearance of Stefanidi. She has

:53:46. > :53:51.two fouls, this is a final try. Can't do that. The red flag pops up.

:53:52. > :53:57.Even without taking off, that's a foul. New territory for her. That

:53:58. > :54:03.would have been a lifetime best. But it was a good performance ahead of

:54:04. > :54:09.Morris. Stefanidi takes the win ahead of Nicole Buchler. Morris, the

:54:10. > :54:16.reigning world champion, same height as Holly Bradshaw. Zharnel Hughes is

:54:17. > :54:23.coming up next in the men's 200 metres. He came fourth in the trials

:54:24. > :54:30.last week in Birmingham. He had the qualifying time. He had a fantastic

:54:31. > :54:34.heat, but it didn't quite happen for him in the final, Denise? It didn't.

:54:35. > :54:38.This was a man looking so easy in the heats and for all intents and

:54:39. > :54:46.purposes he ran a really good turn. Just where we are expecting him to

:54:47. > :54:52.kick on, he panics. The panics, sees Talbot and Mitchell-Blake and then

:54:53. > :54:57.others go past him. I think he overcooked it. He can't overthink

:54:58. > :55:01.the race today. He is quick enough, he has the talent. He has to enjoy

:55:02. > :55:06.the race and prove to the selectors that he is a worthy candidate. His

:55:07. > :55:10.shoulders are rocking and rolling and he's starting to fight at this

:55:11. > :55:16.point. He needed to stay relaxed and perhaps he would have secured a

:55:17. > :55:21.better position than he did. He'd had such an exemplary run here.

:55:22. > :55:27.Looked absolutely relaxed, his running style is so natural. What

:55:28. > :55:33.would be successful for him today in terms of doing enough for the

:55:34. > :55:35.selectors? Is it to take the scalp of his potential team-mate

:55:36. > :55:40.Mitchell-Blake to show his racing is on track? The danger for him is that

:55:41. > :55:44.he shouldn't get into the race in battle. Not focus on the domestic

:55:45. > :55:50.battle. He is gifted, he has trained well. He looks the part. He has to

:55:51. > :55:56.do attacked the bend and just stay relaxed. The selectors will know he

:55:57. > :56:00.can perform on the big stage. Fifth at the Beijing World Championships

:56:01. > :56:04.in 2015. What will that stand in terms of his credit when they think

:56:05. > :56:11.of whose name will be on the selector's sheet? Steve Cram. He is

:56:12. > :56:17.out in lane nine. He will hope he can run his own race here. If you

:56:18. > :56:20.are looking for new names in athletics, Fred Curley. A superb

:56:21. > :56:29.season in 400 metres, the American champion. A massive talent. His

:56:30. > :56:35.first ever Diamond League meeting. Christophe LeMaitre, well-known in

:56:36. > :56:38.Diamond League meetings and a European bronze-medallist.

:56:39. > :56:44.Mitchell-Blake is in superb form. Most of his racing in the US but is

:56:45. > :56:48.now staking a claim as a big member of the British team. Dan Talbot

:56:49. > :56:54.having a great season. A great runner on the bend. In the form of

:56:55. > :57:05.his life and getting closer to the 22nd mark, which would be the holy

:57:06. > :57:09.grail for the 200-metre runners. Isiah Young has made the

:57:10. > :57:14.Championships for the US in recent years. Never performs well there.

:57:15. > :57:19.Produces fast times but rarely runs well at the championships. Rasheed

:57:20. > :57:25.Dwyer from Jamaica in lane two. Tougher as we move to the inside

:57:26. > :57:30.lanes. Another sub 22nd man. And Commonwealth Games champion as well.

:57:31. > :57:38.And Martina, another well-known figure in European 200-metre rowing.

:57:39. > :57:45.A former medallist. 33 years old, on the inside. No Adam Gemili. So for

:57:46. > :57:51.Zharnel Hughes, stake your claim here, run your race, run fast, and

:57:52. > :57:56.hope the selectors see that as a performance to merit selection, and

:57:57. > :58:07.Adam Gemili will be hoping he gets more time. Mitchell-Blake and Dan

:58:08. > :58:10.Talbot, no worries for them. Looking for good performances against

:58:11. > :58:22.world-class opposition. Ameer Webb, the American champion, in lane four.

:58:23. > :58:43.Yeah, well, we were almost heading for that. I was watching the outer

:58:44. > :58:46.lanes. Colin, it was a long time before they went to the set

:58:47. > :58:50.position. I know we have to wait until everybody is ready but you

:58:51. > :58:55.think it was Isiah Young. It was uncomfortable watching that. It was

:58:56. > :58:59.really long, an extremely long time. I was trying to look at what the

:59:00. > :59:03.officials are doing to see if they were checking peoples fingers. It

:59:04. > :59:07.was really tough. You have good eyes still! Isiah Young, he's in lane

:59:08. > :59:25.three. Lane one was all so close. Isiah

:59:26. > :59:29.Young coming up as a negative. Must have moved before. The pressure pad

:59:30. > :00:04.is very sensitive. They are checking it out.

:00:05. > :00:08.is going to get gold for Great Britain again. The double-double.

:00:09. > :00:39.was a very long holder before they went to the set position.

:00:40. > :01:20.It is very tight. 20.14. Fred Kerley would be delighted if he got second.

:01:21. > :01:27.The others were around 20.3. That is your winner. It is interesting. When

:01:28. > :01:32.a 400-metre runner can come to the 200 metres and run a personal best.

:01:33. > :01:38.You have to think, what is wrong? It is an event that has not come alive

:01:39. > :01:41.for me this year. He is the main contender to take the gold in the

:01:42. > :01:51.World Championships anti-is a great 400-metre runner. He is an

:01:52. > :02:00.phenomenal 400 metres ship. And he has ran 19.84 for the 200 metres. He

:02:01. > :02:04.is head and shoulders above everybody. The three British

:02:05. > :02:11.athletes were very close. Mitchell-Blake and Danny Talbot. It

:02:12. > :02:14.has Danny Talbot is fourth on the screen in the stadium. I do not

:02:15. > :02:21.think that is right. Mitchell-Blake surely is fourth. It is close for

:02:22. > :02:29.Zharnel Hughes and Danny Talbot after that. Good run from Fred

:02:30. > :02:34.Kerley in second. It might well be Hughes ahead of Danny Talbot. We are

:02:35. > :02:40.having some problems in here with the technical aspects of this. The

:02:41. > :02:45.result is appealing on the screen are not correct and some of the

:02:46. > :02:50.media have been struggling with some of the results. That is how we see

:02:51. > :02:57.it. Mitchell-Blake confirmed in fourth place. That British battle,

:02:58. > :03:04.Hughes ahead of Daniel Talbot. Is that good enough? Let us pose the

:03:05. > :03:07.questions to the man himself, is that good enough for the selectors

:03:08. > :03:12.to give you the third pick? I think it was good enough for me. Hopefully

:03:13. > :03:20.they can select me and give me a chance. Myself and my coach have

:03:21. > :03:27.some bits and pieces to work on right now. I trust that everything

:03:28. > :03:30.will be fine for me. I will come to the World Championships and the

:03:31. > :03:35.liver. You read on the outside lane, lane nine, what is going through

:03:36. > :03:40.your line on what you need to do? It is getting off the bend and staying

:03:41. > :03:47.focused. Not going to close to the inside lane. After that, stay

:03:48. > :03:50.relaxed in the home straight, power my way through and hold on. It is

:03:51. > :03:55.their frustration and you could not get the place last week, you have to

:03:56. > :04:03.go through this process? It was frustrating. On that today, I did

:04:04. > :04:08.not execute the race I wish I'd could have. I messed up coming

:04:09. > :04:12.around the bend. It cost me in the home straight. I am in great shape.

:04:13. > :04:16.It is for me to go out and prove that at the World Championships. We

:04:17. > :04:27.wish you well. Thank you. Have a good day. COMMENTATOR: In the last

:04:28. > :04:33.round of the long jump. Henderson went from fourth to first in the

:04:34. > :04:39.Olympics last year. He is already in the lead at these anniversary games.

:04:40. > :04:46.This is the last jump. It looks to be bang on the mark that he set in

:04:47. > :04:52.the second round. He is in shape but not guaranteed to go to the World

:04:53. > :04:56.Championships. If he does, he is a contender. I think so. If you look

:04:57. > :05:04.at his speed. The way that he gathers his stride, he stands up on

:05:05. > :05:09.the board. Look at his leg speed. He is running into a headwind. Just not

:05:10. > :05:18.able to generate the speed that he needs. This is the pet that took

:05:19. > :05:26.Greg Rutherford to gold five years ago. Let us hope he can return to

:05:27. > :05:31.action from that angle injury. -- ankle injury. He has won the

:05:32. > :05:44.competition. It is one, two, three for America. There is the final

:05:45. > :05:48.result. Some unravelling of the best Americans that will contest for the

:05:49. > :06:04.World Championships. Bramble looks to be a long way off. Another great

:06:05. > :06:18.field event. Look out for Marriott Mass at Skinner. She is competing

:06:19. > :06:23.unattached. Mariya Lasitskene is the unattached athlete. Morgan Lake is

:06:24. > :06:32.easily capable of this. More like it. Some nerves from Morgan. She

:06:33. > :06:36.will be happy with that. The competition continues and she can

:06:37. > :06:42.settle in. She might have needed that as a secular. Morgan Lake, 1.80

:06:43. > :06:58.clearance. Morgan Lake cleared 1.96 to take the

:06:59. > :07:11.British title last week. We know she is in form. She jumped 1.93 in

:07:12. > :07:16.Switzerland during the week. This is 1.85. Moving up to watch what she is

:07:17. > :07:20.capable of. Very good. Perhaps she has settled on? I think so. I think

:07:21. > :07:27.it is difficult coming from Switzerland. Finding your river am a

:07:28. > :07:35.little bit in this stadium is something she will have to get used

:07:36. > :07:47.to. Last year she jumped nine times over 1.90. And apart up and coming

:07:48. > :07:56.star, Vashti Cunningham. She is the daughter of Randall Cunningham. The

:07:57. > :08:02.great quarterback. Her dad was a great superstar, Philadelphia Eagles

:08:03. > :08:11.quarterback. Her coach will be happy with that and so does she. Some

:08:12. > :08:26.absentees from the men's 110 metres hurdles. Jake Porter goes for

:08:27. > :08:35.Britain. So does David Omoregie. Michael Thomas from Trinidad and

:08:36. > :08:41.Tobago. 13.33 this season. Eddie Lovett is from the US Virgin Islands

:08:42. > :08:50.now. A couple of Americans in this line-up. Jarret Eaton was fourth in

:08:51. > :08:57.the indoor Championships. Seventh at the US trials. And the Birchall

:08:58. > :09:09.Harrier, Jake Porter. Finished third in the UK Championships. That was

:09:10. > :09:21.won by David King. That is Garfield Darien. 13.09 last month. Fourth

:09:22. > :09:27.quickest in the world this year. And Milan Trajkovic from Cyprus is just

:09:28. > :10:04.inside him. He run well in the Paris Diamond League race. Aaron Mallet

:10:05. > :10:13.from the United States in lane two. David Omoregie just takes it. 13.44

:10:14. > :10:18.four David Omoregie. That was untidy from if you athletes. It was very

:10:19. > :10:24.noisy. You can see the scattered debris on the track. David Omoregie

:10:25. > :10:30.was the least untidy of all. Just about taking it. Decent finish as

:10:31. > :10:33.well from Jarret Eaton. It was close. Little look across from Milan

:10:34. > :10:40.Trajkovic. Three go through automatically. You have described

:10:41. > :10:47.that so well. It is the body on the track. It is pure carnage. Look at

:10:48. > :10:50.all the hurdles that abound. Lots of athletes have clattered the barriers

:10:51. > :10:57.and have taken them out of the race by hitting the barriers. We remember

:10:58. > :11:01.that David made that crucial trial at the -- crucial mistake at the

:11:02. > :11:05.trials. More than capable of getting the automatic place. He pulls

:11:06. > :11:11.himself through antiques this heat which is important. It will give him

:11:12. > :11:16.a goodly drop in the final. He just needs to run a clean race, do not

:11:17. > :11:21.put yourself under pressure. I think we will see him return to this

:11:22. > :11:28.stadium. He will be back for the final in about one hour. Look at him

:11:29. > :11:34.again. You might see some barriers getting knocked by all and sundry.

:11:35. > :11:38.The first barrier, straight into it. That is the most crucial. We want to

:11:39. > :11:43.generate speed. We do not want to make any mistakes for the first

:11:44. > :11:47.three hurdles. After that if you crash into them it is not too bad

:11:48. > :11:57.because you already have your pace and verve. A clean race is still the

:11:58. > :12:05.best race. He defeated some good quality athletes in Garfield Darien.

:12:06. > :12:13.And Jarret Eaton. The three who qualify are David Omoregie, Milan

:12:14. > :12:14.Trajkovic and Jarret Eaton. Personal best for Jake Porter in seventh

:12:15. > :12:33.place. Mariya Lasitskene, neutral athlete,

:12:34. > :12:37.in brackets, Russian. 1.85. Look at that. She is dominant on the Diamond

:12:38. > :12:48.League and is unbeaten this year. She was the world champion last

:12:49. > :12:57.year. She is the favourite to take the world title again this year.

:12:58. > :13:05.Matthew Hudson-Smith. Ran a superb race at the British trials last week

:13:06. > :13:14.in the 400 metres. He went under 45 seconds. He is the only person who

:13:15. > :13:18.has cemented his place. Martyn Rooney is European Champion. He is

:13:19. > :13:24.designated to be eligible if you brush to have the qualifying time.

:13:25. > :13:36.And the man who surprised everybody, the man who won the European team

:13:37. > :13:40.Championships. Matthew Hudson-Smith in lane five. Michael Cherry

:13:41. > :13:44.insight. Matthew Hudson-Smith stopped and then tripped. It looks

:13:45. > :13:51.like he felt it was a false start. Let us hope he is OK. Big gap in the

:13:52. > :13:59.middle. Martyn Rooney trying to chase down Rabah Yousif. Martyn

:14:00. > :14:04.Rooney has been smooth through the first 200. And also Michael Cherry.

:14:05. > :14:19.Kevin Borlee trying to get into this. Tony McQuay is the one going

:14:20. > :14:27.well. Look at Michael Cherry. The storms away. Good performance from

:14:28. > :14:32.Renny Quow. Closest to the camera. The best of the British athletes.

:14:33. > :14:37.That will be another quick time. Renny Quow keeps getting better.

:14:38. > :14:40.They are not going to the World Championships but the two of them

:14:41. > :14:42.ran so fast that the American trials and that not have to go so quickly

:14:43. > :14:57.to win today. That was earlier as he made the

:14:58. > :15:01.transition from BBC Two to BBC One. Phil Jones has news on Matthew

:15:02. > :15:05.Hudson-Smith. And it's good news. When Matthew stumbled out of the

:15:06. > :15:09.box, he initially clutched his hamstring. Looked like it could be

:15:10. > :15:13.trouble, but as he walked off, he said it was no injury, he was

:15:14. > :15:19.embarrassed more than hurt and he will be fine to be at the World

:15:20. > :15:24.Championships in London. Just checking behind to see the men

:15:25. > :15:32.lining up for the second of the 110 metre hurdles heats. It's good news,

:15:33. > :15:35.Denise, when we saw earlier we thought there was panic for Matthew

:15:36. > :15:39.Hudson-Smith. It is good news. He had injuries last season but he's

:15:40. > :15:44.fit, great, the winner of the trials, so he has is qualifying spot

:15:45. > :15:49.anyway. That's good. We can get down there and Steve Cram can talk you

:15:50. > :15:54.through the second heat of the men's 110 metre hurdles. COMMENTATOR:

:15:55. > :16:07.Going back to the 400, Callan with another personal best. -- Cowan with

:16:08. > :16:11.another personal best, doing himself a lot of favours for selection.

:16:12. > :16:15.David King goes in lane two in this one, winner of the British

:16:16. > :16:20.Championships, going to the World Championships. Shane Brathwaite, the

:16:21. > :16:26.bronze-medallist from the Commonwealth Games, 31 this year,

:16:27. > :16:32.not quite going as fast as he would like. Aries Merritt, what a good

:16:33. > :16:36.year he's having. If you are not aware, this man had a kidney

:16:37. > :16:44.transplant adverse comeback in superb form. Devon Allen had a

:16:45. > :16:52.pretty obvious. In Paris. An American football talent, now

:16:53. > :16:56.focused on athletics. Ali Karas won the trials. If you do that in

:16:57. > :17:00.American high hurdles, you're not doing bad at all. Still has to run

:17:01. > :17:14.the times to go with that. Yet to break 30 -- 13 seconds. Wenjun Xie

:17:15. > :17:18.of China. Nicholas Hough of Australia, and then Koen Smet of the

:17:19. > :17:27.Netherlands. The top three and the three fastest go through. We had a

:17:28. > :17:30.messy race in heat one. With this one, three Americans, you would be

:17:31. > :17:41.surprised if it's not those three. But you never know.

:17:42. > :17:51.This race suffered from the withdrawal of Pozzi and McLeod was

:17:52. > :17:56.going to be here as well. The guy who won in Paris, and surprised

:17:57. > :18:04.everyone, he was another one hoping to be here. The defending champion

:18:05. > :18:14.isn't here, but will be when they come back in August. Devon Allen

:18:15. > :18:17.right in the middle, lane five. Two team-mates either side, Aries

:18:18. > :18:34.Merritt and Aleec Harris. Devon Allen gets the best start.

:18:35. > :18:38.Being left a little bit is the American champion. These two pulling

:18:39. > :18:46.away with Brathwaite, who will be the top three. 13.24. No

:18:47. > :18:52.histrionics. Fairly straightforward. What on earth happened to Harris?

:18:53. > :18:57.Maybe Colin saw, he never got going. It left Brathwaite able to come

:18:58. > :19:02.through for the third spot. We can pick up with Harris. Aries Merritt,

:19:03. > :19:09.Olympic champion and world record holder. All of that in the two or

:19:10. > :19:14.three years, and then going through something which in anybody 's life,

:19:15. > :19:18.a kid in transplant, but he has come back consistently good, Colin. I

:19:19. > :19:23.spoke to him just before and just after his transplant and he's always

:19:24. > :19:30.in a positive mind frame. He always felt he could return, and return he

:19:31. > :19:34.has. One of the things Harris has, he's blessed with a flawless,

:19:35. > :19:40.smooth, liquid like technique. He glides over the barriers. He made it

:19:41. > :19:44.look like a huge gap between him and the hurdles, that's fine. What you

:19:45. > :19:47.don't want to do is raise or lower your centre of gravity. Keep it as

:19:48. > :19:51.close to your sprinting form as you can, and he managed to do that. Long

:19:52. > :20:01.legs and he's the world-record holder. Wenjun Xie will go through

:20:02. > :20:11.as well. Probably too from the other heat that will go through as fastest

:20:12. > :20:19.losers, to the final. Morgan Lake, 1.9 zero. Second chance. That's

:20:20. > :20:26.better. She ran at that. A little bit bouncy, Tony. I think she's

:20:27. > :20:29.struggling to find her rhythm. Those failures in competition like the

:20:30. > :20:35.World Championships will count. A little wobble there, again over

:20:36. > :20:43.1.90. Again, showing consistency here. First round of the javelin.

:20:44. > :20:49.Elizabeth Gleadle of Canada. Season's best of 62 metres. Just

:20:50. > :20:55.accelerated on that. That's a decent throw. I thought that had stalled,

:20:56. > :20:59.but the javelin levelled out mid-flight. Her eyes are up in the

:21:00. > :21:05.air. The javelin follows that, but somehow lined it up. It looks like

:21:06. > :21:14.Elizabeth Gleadle could be closing down her lifetime best, that was

:21:15. > :21:21.64.93 a couple of years ago. She knew she got that right, Tony. The

:21:22. > :21:25.tattoo says keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on the stars. I

:21:26. > :21:31.think she was looking at the stars there, higher than you would say.

:21:32. > :21:36.But gets it out with a good opener. Season's best, Elizabeth Gleadle

:21:37. > :21:42.takes the lead. Ashley Cunningham in the high jump. She's already had two

:21:43. > :21:46.fouls. Good. Whatever was the problem on those first two attempts,

:21:47. > :21:52.she has managed to sort it out. She's only 19 years of age. A young

:21:53. > :22:01.indoor champion. Hugely talented American. Maybe she will be around

:22:02. > :22:04.for many years to come. And maybe this year's World Championships.

:22:05. > :22:09.Cunningham continues in the women's high jump. The women are out for the

:22:10. > :22:17.100-metre final. The heats were earlier today, the silver-medallist

:22:18. > :22:24.from the Rio Olympics, flying Dutchwoman Dafne Schippers. She

:22:25. > :22:28.looked amazing in this hundred. She was gliding, when she's in top mode

:22:29. > :22:36.she's beautiful to watch. Gliding past everyone. A new season's best.

:22:37. > :22:40.I was worried about her earlier in the season. Even watching over the

:22:41. > :22:45.200 where she did not seem like the Dafne Schippers of last year. But

:22:46. > :22:50.she has put that behind her. Running a fast time earlier in the week. But

:22:51. > :22:56.over 100, when she runs smoothly, I think she's great to watch. She is

:22:57. > :23:01.looking strong, quick. Over the last few weeks you might have looked

:23:02. > :23:04.heavy and slow, but this should be a really good final. Used to be a

:23:05. > :23:10.heptathlete and made the transition a couple of seasons ago to focus on

:23:11. > :23:13.the sprints, 100 and 200 metres. Elaine Thompson, I don't know what

:23:14. > :23:19.this means and the difference it would make to her time, but I was

:23:20. > :23:23.reading after the race, where she looked great, that she was only in

:23:24. > :23:29.racing flats, not spikes. That can't be true. That would be incredible.

:23:30. > :23:35.As relaxed as she is to get through. She might do that in heats in 1500

:23:36. > :23:39.metres, but in 800 metres, but she wouldn't do that, surely. She might

:23:40. > :23:44.be nursing an injury, but usually you do not see that in sprints, not

:23:45. > :23:49.at this level. You would expect her to have her spikes on now and

:23:50. > :23:52.pushing for her very best. It's time for the race and he is Andrew

:23:53. > :23:58.Cotter. COMMENTATOR: Unlike the men's sprint we get that chance here

:23:59. > :24:04.to see the best of women's sprinting coming together. Dafne Schippers is

:24:05. > :24:10.a little bit further down the list. Oliveira Santos, already won in

:24:11. > :24:17.Lausanne during the week. Morolake Akinosun. The American is one of

:24:18. > :24:30.four women to go Lo 11 seconds this season in this line-up. Daryll

:24:31. > :24:37.Neita, there is a British tussle between her and Asha Philip.

:24:38. > :24:44.Okagbare-Ighoteguonor, she finished strongly in her heat. Also in the

:24:45. > :24:50.long jump. Dafne Schippers, another great 200-metre runner. Schippers

:24:51. > :24:53.has always been powerful, looks even more muscular this season, but when

:24:54. > :24:58.she gets her speed up she's very hard to catch. Michelle-Lee Ahye

:24:59. > :25:05.looks distracted, but focused, I'm sure. Second fastest in the world

:25:06. > :25:08.this year, running 10.82. Alongside, is rare to see her in lane seven,

:25:09. > :25:14.but she just jogged through their feet, Elaine Thompson. Schippers has

:25:15. > :25:21.never beaten Elaine Thompson over 100 metres. It's not a bad lane for

:25:22. > :25:33.Thompson, she is next to the flying starter, Asha Philip. She needs to

:25:34. > :25:39.go closer to her personal best of 11.10 to get closer to these

:25:40. > :25:49.runners. And Murielle Ahoure is a nonstarter.

:25:50. > :26:02.Just trying to see... I think Elaine Thompson is running in flats again.

:26:03. > :26:10.Colin Jackson is looking and saying, I think they are flats. Maybe she is

:26:11. > :26:18.protecting something. Her feet or Achilles. Asha Philip is away very

:26:19. > :26:23.quickly. Thompson now leaving her. Schippers looking to come through.

:26:24. > :26:29.The American is looking to come through. Thompson gets it, just.

:26:30. > :26:35.10.95, into a little bit of a breeze as well. Thompson takes the victory.

:26:36. > :26:39.I think she wanted that to say, with three weeks' time on this track,

:26:40. > :26:43.can't go with a psychological disadvantage of being beaten here.

:26:44. > :26:51.Dafne Schippers bested at the line by Elaine Thompson. It's rounded

:26:52. > :26:56.down to 10.94. Asha Philip didn't get her best start this time. Elaine

:26:57. > :27:05.Thompson was smartly out. Again, the wind into their faces, 1.4 metres

:27:06. > :27:11.per second. A season's best time for Okagbare-Ighoteguonor. Below 11

:27:12. > :27:18.seconds. Schippers would have loved to get her first victory over 100

:27:19. > :27:23.metres over Elaine Thompson. Still the woman to beat. And it's the

:27:24. > :27:29.window I have been impressed with, the women running under 11 seconds

:27:30. > :27:35.into a strong headwind. We are looking at performances around the

:27:36. > :27:41.10.8 mark in good conditions. Looking closely at her shoes, quite

:27:42. > :27:48.chunky heels on them. It could be that she's in flats or something

:27:49. > :27:54.similar that. She has run 10.94 on a pair of old Dunlop Green flats. If

:27:55. > :27:59.Dafne Schippers can't beat her with that sort of position after 30 or 40

:28:00. > :28:03.metres, it is unlikely to come. Elaine Thompson coming back, not

:28:04. > :28:13.sure if she is struggling, but good enough there are. Good enough

:28:14. > :28:16.indeed. In with Dafne Schippers and Elaine Thompson. Being in this

:28:17. > :28:20.stadium ahead of the World Championships has given you a taste

:28:21. > :28:24.of what's to come. It's perfect. I love the atmosphere. Great people

:28:25. > :28:27.here. It was a good race is the green in terms of your form building

:28:28. > :28:32.to the World Championships, are you aware of who you need to beat? Of

:28:33. > :28:37.course. I will work on the last parts and we will be OK. Look

:28:38. > :28:41.forward to seeing you at the World Championships. Elaine Thompson, well

:28:42. > :28:45.done. You came bursting through in typical style. We saw you were

:28:46. > :28:51.running in flats, are you all right? I'm OK. I'm not comfortable in my

:28:52. > :28:55.new spike trainers. So I'm doing it in these flats. I'm trying to get

:28:56. > :29:01.used to it, even though it feels weird. I just want to execute. After

:29:02. > :29:07.the double gold medal success in Rio last year, you are the big star of

:29:08. > :29:10.athletics. How are you looking forward to the World Championships?

:29:11. > :29:14.Really looking forward. The track feels great and the crowd is

:29:15. > :29:19.awesome. I get that drive already. Trying to pave the way to the

:29:20. > :29:24.Worlds. You know you will get incredible support here. You said in

:29:25. > :29:33.2012 that you will feel the same love. You know that a lot of

:29:34. > :29:37.Jamaicans are in London. To feel the crowd, I just want to execute and

:29:38. > :29:38.give them all my love. Great to see you here and we look forward to

:29:39. > :29:54.seeing you back. ODE: She is an effervescent

:29:55. > :30:04.personality. She was in trainers, practically. She must have some

:30:05. > :30:09.spikes. They are not ordinary trading shoes. They are very light

:30:10. > :30:18.and will suit her. This is a woman who has ran 10.70 so we do expect to

:30:19. > :30:23.see how move through the field that we expect too. Very relaxed and

:30:24. > :30:30.beautiful running. Clearly confident. Such incredible upper

:30:31. > :30:36.body strength. And courage. You look at Dafne Schippers, different body

:30:37. > :30:43.type. Elaine Thompson is very light. She glides across the floor. She is

:30:44. > :30:51.beautiful to watch. Dafne Schippers is a powerful runner and makes great

:30:52. > :31:01.use of her stride length. I think she looks really strong. She is

:31:02. > :31:05.possibly racing in the racing flats with the carbon fibre plate. You

:31:06. > :31:11.certainly feel like you are sprinting faster than them. There

:31:12. > :31:16.must be some sort of Spike grip on the bottom, surely, to run that

:31:17. > :31:21.quick. The sprinters are so sensitive to the changes in the

:31:22. > :31:26.footwear. For her to run that quickly, it is pretty impressive. It

:31:27. > :31:33.is ominous for one month's time. Let us get back to the high jump and

:31:34. > :31:37.Steve Backley. The high jump is hotting up. Erika Kinsey, the

:31:38. > :31:49.relatively unknown Swede. Looking to clear the new height of 1.94 and

:31:50. > :31:59.does, just. That is a seasoned's best for her. That will go into the

:32:00. > :32:09.lead. First time clearance. Mariya Lasitskene. The world leader goes

:32:10. > :32:13.clear also. That is the first time clearance. She has knocked the bar

:32:14. > :32:22.off at a lower height and will be in second place to the Swede. She

:32:23. > :32:40.jumped 2.06 the few days ago. She is in great shape.

:32:41. > :32:47.COMMENTATOR: This is an interesting race because of the appearance of

:32:48. > :32:52.Allyson Felix. Natasha Hastings did her best and did not make it into

:32:53. > :32:57.the team. Some new names in the American team as we head towards the

:32:58. > :33:03.World Championships. Allyson Felix is the defending champion so she did

:33:04. > :33:09.not have to contest. She has only run one race this year. She ran the

:33:10. > :33:15.200 metres at the American Championships. Really interesting to

:33:16. > :33:20.see how Allyson Felix does. Shericka Jackson has finished in third to

:33:21. > :33:28.Shaunae Miller and Allyson Felix at the US Championships. Novlene

:33:29. > :33:32.Williams-Mills is 35 and still running well. Emily Diamond cemented

:33:33. > :33:36.her place at the World Championships work the fine run behind is a Lee

:33:37. > :33:44.Clark. She is not here today. Those two have made the team. And we see

:33:45. > :33:49.this young lady. Shamier Little. Roulette 400-metre hurdler. She is

:33:50. > :34:01.now ninth best in the world ever at 400-metre hurdles. And Verone

:34:02. > :34:07.Chambers on the inside. The British scenario, Perri shakes Drayton,

:34:08. > :34:16.continued her good return to form, 32.7 Elliott in the week. Young

:34:17. > :34:24.Nielsen has the time. She is going to the under 20 fees.

:34:25. > :34:39.Only Emily Diamond in this for Great Britain. Allyson Felix in lane six.

:34:40. > :34:52.The world champion. Interesting to see how well she goes here.

:34:53. > :35:02.Cleanly away. Jackson inside Allyson Felix, trying to chase through the

:35:03. > :35:08.first 100 metres. Those two away quickly. Allyson Felix already

:35:09. > :35:17.making ground on Natasha Hastings. Hastings try to hold onto the collar

:35:18. > :35:22.of the American. Jackson is getting closer. Allyson Felix relaxing

:35:23. > :35:29.around the bend. Courtney Okolo is taking it to them. Allyson Felix now

:35:30. > :35:35.starting to dominate. She moves into the home straight with that lovely

:35:36. > :35:39.action that she has. And no Allyson Felix is stretching away from the

:35:40. > :35:47.field. Shamier Little doing well in lane two. Allyson Felix will win

:35:48. > :35:51.this from Courtney Okolo and then Shamier Little. Quickest in the

:35:52. > :35:57.world this year. I was interested to see how well she does. Shamier

:35:58. > :36:03.Little was running well. Those two are the standout 400-metre runners.

:36:04. > :36:09.Is Allyson Felix still capable of dropping a time? That is your

:36:10. > :36:14.answer. Yes. She looked very impressive, especially in the last

:36:15. > :36:24.120 metres. Good performance. She had a great battle with Shami --

:36:25. > :36:29.Shaunae Miller. Allyson Felix, there were questions about how she could

:36:30. > :36:34.run. She always looks so impressive. She has a grace. Ale of running. She

:36:35. > :36:45.is not slowing down over the last metres as much as you would expect

:36:46. > :36:49.to. Good run by Shamier Little. The hurdler has got great strength

:36:50. > :36:54.coming down the stretch and was impressive over the flat. This is a

:36:55. > :36:59.great angle to watch the style of Allyson Felix. She has got a long

:37:00. > :37:05.stride that does not tighten up. When she comes round the bend, she

:37:06. > :37:11.opens the stride length without increasing the cadence. Her speed of

:37:12. > :37:19.exploration is very deceptive. -- of acceleration. Well done, the world

:37:20. > :37:24.lead, you must be thrilled? I am rounding into shape so I am happy.

:37:25. > :37:29.You have the automatic spot on your World Championship win, you did not

:37:30. > :37:33.have to compete in the trials, how have you planned it? I wanted to be

:37:34. > :37:38.gradual this year. A very tough last year. Just easing my way into it.

:37:39. > :37:45.How did it feel being back out there, the London atmosphere. I love

:37:46. > :37:50.racing here, felt good to be back. And for the World Championships,

:37:51. > :37:55.adding to gold medals. I am still enjoying the sport. I am still going

:37:56. > :38:02.to keep fighting hard. We wish you well. Good luck.

:38:03. > :38:11.COMMENTATOR: Morgan Lake, the British champion, under pressure.

:38:12. > :38:18.Two files. I was expecting more. That did not look bright. Seemed to

:38:19. > :38:23.lose them. Put in a big stride and then tried to run at the bar. Ended

:38:24. > :38:27.up running straight at it instead of maintaining the curve. Not the

:38:28. > :38:34.free-flowing movement that we saw at the Nigel Championships when she

:38:35. > :38:40.cleared 1.9 six. -- National Championships. The long jumpers are

:38:41. > :38:46.right. That is your starters. Johnson-Thompson. That is a great

:38:47. > :39:02.field. This is Christabel Nettey to get

:39:03. > :39:15.things under way in the first round. That is around 6.60. Reasonable

:39:16. > :39:21.start. Christabel Nettey, 26, Canadian. The men jumped into a

:39:22. > :39:34.slight headwind. The athletes can expect that. She goes into the lead.

:39:35. > :39:38.6.63. I've felt she was busy on the runway. She was oscillating forward

:39:39. > :39:47.and back. Johnson-Thompson, first round. Bang on that leading mark.

:39:48. > :39:53.What is your reaction? I think from that point view, running better than

:39:54. > :40:00.previously on the runway. She dropped her feet in early. It was

:40:01. > :40:07.lazy. Just finding her marker. There is a lot more. You can see the track

:40:08. > :40:12.out as she follows, there is lots of energy. If she stays up in the air

:40:13. > :40:16.and brings her chest down, hold the landing position, she can get more

:40:17. > :40:23.distance. Good opener, in second place. There is an intriguing men's

:40:24. > :40:27.800 metres coming up. Intriguing for the men. So much still to sort out.

:40:28. > :40:35.Why is Jake Wightman going for this today? I think Jake has made a

:40:36. > :40:38.decision for his preparation moving forward to London. He was

:40:39. > :40:48.disappointed with the result and the trials. He turned out when lots of

:40:49. > :40:53.people did not in the European team Championships. He came back tyre

:40:54. > :40:57.that the trials. He has decided to race best that the World

:40:58. > :41:01.Championships, he needs 800 metres now. You can assume he will not be

:41:02. > :41:09.up for selection for the 800 metres at the moment. Andrew Osagie needs

:41:10. > :41:14.to be swell. Elliot Giles needs 18. Kyle Langford needs a time. If they

:41:15. > :41:19.get it, they put themselves into the reckoning. Should be expected quick

:41:20. > :41:32.race? COMMENTATOR: They are expecting for the quick race. The

:41:33. > :41:40.British athletes involved. Asbel Kiprop, he is having a bash at the

:41:41. > :41:47.800. Bram Som is the established pacemaker of the circuit. He has

:41:48. > :41:51.been asked to do 49 seconds. Nijel Amos is back to form, won the

:41:52. > :41:55.Diamond League in Paris, medal behind David Rudisha in that famous

:41:56. > :42:00.race five years ago. Never the prettiest to watch but looking good

:42:01. > :42:04.again in terms of times. Andrew Osagie was involved in that final

:42:05. > :42:09.and dragged along to personal bests. He would've liked that UK

:42:10. > :42:15.Championships to be quicker. He has the standard. You could get into top

:42:16. > :42:25.two. Donavan Brazier of the United States. 20 years old. That is

:42:26. > :42:30.Kiprop. Very tall figure. Nicer Elliot Giles to share a lean with

:42:31. > :42:36.the great man. Asbel Kiprop was the Olympic champion in Beijing's over

:42:37. > :42:45.1500 metres and the World Championship the last feedback

:42:46. > :42:57.times. And Adam Chris Scott. Great a hundred metres runner. Very fast

:42:58. > :43:03.finisher. Erik Sowinski. Jake Wightman, the Dream Mile. It was

:43:04. > :43:08.such a high quality field that he defeated. That is why he is in prime

:43:09. > :43:12.position to go to the World Championships at 1500 metres. And

:43:13. > :43:20.Mark English from Ireland has been quick this season. It will be a

:43:21. > :43:28.quick race if the goal with the pacemaker. Bram Som. Elliot Giles

:43:29. > :43:36.looking for the qualifying time. What can they manage? The final of

:43:37. > :43:40.the men's 800 metres. Kyle Langford was disappointed in Birmingham, just

:43:41. > :43:45.outside the top two. And Andrew Osagie was in fifth place but he is

:43:46. > :43:50.better than that. All the main British protagonists in the 800

:43:51. > :43:54.metres are here. Bram Som reads them out. This is fascinating from a

:43:55. > :44:02.British point of view. Kyle Langford is pushed by English. On the

:44:03. > :44:10.outside, the tall figure of the three times world champion over 1500

:44:11. > :44:17.metres. Asbel Kiprop is moving. If the pace is 49 seconds, it is too

:44:18. > :44:23.fast for most of the field. Nigel Amos, the Olympic silver-medallist

:44:24. > :44:27.in second place. They are being sensible, not going with the

:44:28. > :44:32.pacemaker. Nigel Amos is capable of living with that but still quick for

:44:33. > :44:36.Nigel Amos. Asbel Kiprop in fourth place. The British contenders are

:44:37. > :44:44.doing what they have to do, hanging back. That is right. Can Nigel Amos

:44:45. > :44:48.do anything like he did previously in this stadium? Two races, one for

:44:49. > :44:53.selection for the British athletes. And the race at the front is

:44:54. > :45:00.different. Nigel Amos in front and Donavan Brazier as well as Asbel

:45:01. > :45:09.Kiprop. Nigel Amos stretching out his stride. Nigel Amos is coming

:45:10. > :45:13.away and looking good. He was the silver-medallist five years ago and

:45:14. > :45:22.might be a contender in three weeks. He will take the victory with a

:45:23. > :45:24.quick time. 1:43.19. The British athletes might of been dragged along

:45:25. > :45:35.for that qualifying time. That was great to see. Remember that

:45:36. > :45:41.great race we saw here against David Rudisha. David broke the world

:45:42. > :45:47.record and ran one of the great races of all time. The interesting

:45:48. > :45:51.thing from a British point of view, Elliot Gyles ran strongly, he

:45:52. > :45:56.qualified. Almost ran a personal best. Behind him, Kyle Langford has

:45:57. > :46:00.come through and he looks quick as well. We're watching Amos, a

:46:01. > :46:05.controlled athlete, the Olympic silver-medallist. At the same time,

:46:06. > :46:09.in third place, the tall figure of Asbel Kiprop. Amos looking good

:46:10. > :46:13.there, and that makes this an exciting return to form. Should be a

:46:14. > :46:19.great race in this stadium, maybe not like we had last time around,

:46:20. > :46:24.but interesting race. Elliot Gyles with a personal best, I'm pretty

:46:25. > :46:28.sure. It has just been confirmed. Elliot Gyles with a personal best.

:46:29. > :46:34.He has the qualifying standard and when he gets his breath back he will

:46:35. > :46:41.be chatting to fill. World leading time for Nijel Amos. That's the

:46:42. > :46:44.qualifying standard. Elliot Gyles will be here. Good race and good

:46:45. > :46:52.times from the British athletes. We can hear from a couple of them now.

:46:53. > :46:56.We will start with Nijel Amos. What a race that was, after all your

:46:57. > :47:01.injury problems it must delight you. Coming to this stadium, for me I

:47:02. > :47:08.just want to keep my moment to live here. Every time I step here don't

:47:09. > :47:12.want to change anything. You have been through some trouble sometimes.

:47:13. > :47:17.What's been the key in getting you back to this kind of form? I kept my

:47:18. > :47:21.faith, kept on praying and working hard and knowing one day things

:47:22. > :47:25.would come together. You had your Olympic silver here. We wish you

:47:26. > :47:33.well for the World Championships in a few weeks. Thank you. Elliot

:47:34. > :47:39.Gyles, a qualifying time and a personal best. You will definitely

:47:40. > :47:46.be on the team. It's great. I was some way back, and I thought I was

:47:47. > :47:49.in the place for a 39 five. It took me by surprise. A bit more

:47:50. > :47:55.experience and hopefully I can latch onto those guys and not try to push

:47:56. > :48:02.on when I felt the gap was made in the first lap and nowhere else. I

:48:03. > :48:06.need to learn a bit more. APB of 1.3 four. I don't know when I will wake

:48:07. > :48:11.up, it is I'm dreaming. I need to start winning and go from there.

:48:12. > :48:24.Well done on getting that time. We will see you back here soon. Guy

:48:25. > :48:27.Learmonth is here as well. Equally delighted, sharing the delight with

:48:28. > :48:31.your mate Elliot Giles. What's it like when you go to a race like

:48:32. > :48:38.this, a race within a race sometimes and you need to do a specific thing.

:48:39. > :48:42.I have never run these times before. I have lost my breath and voice, I

:48:43. > :48:46.apologise! Don't want to get too carried away. Felt good at 600,

:48:47. > :48:51.faded a little bit. Just hanging in. I knew it was quick, so gave it my

:48:52. > :48:55.all in the last hundred. Next time I will just keep progressing.

:48:56. > :49:01.Hopefully not on the door of 1.44 soon enough. It's a breakthrough and

:49:02. > :49:08.I will be back here next month. I'm over the moon. Maybe a bit quicker,

:49:09. > :49:12.but it's a huge lifetime best. I'm absolutely delighted. You are part

:49:13. > :49:17.of the record contingent from Scotland. We wish you well for

:49:18. > :49:19.London. I just want to say to my coach, Henry Gray, he's really

:49:20. > :49:24.believed in me in the last few years. There have been ups and downs

:49:25. > :49:28.and he stuck with me. And my little brother has been my pacemaker the

:49:29. > :49:33.whole year. Thank you so much. It's kind of cleared up some things, that

:49:34. > :49:37.race. We know Guy Learmonth and Elliot Giles definitely take the

:49:38. > :49:44.first two places because they were first and second but it leaves a

:49:45. > :49:47.selectors' headache. It's a selectors' nightmare. It's great for

:49:48. > :49:56.men's 800 metre running in Great Britain, four personal bests in that

:49:57. > :50:01.race. Elliot Giles, it's great for Guy Learmonth to pass the selector,

:50:02. > :50:07.but he was the last British racer across the line. The selectors have

:50:08. > :50:10.to pick from the youngster Kyle Langford coming through, who is

:50:11. > :50:20.scarily good but very erratic, and Andrew Osagie. It's the quickest men

:50:21. > :50:26.in the stadium today at the AA Anniversary Games who will be going

:50:27. > :50:32.next. We can cost a Steve Cram with news from the start line.

:50:33. > :50:36.COMMENTATOR: He will be wanting to show that the third spot should be

:50:37. > :50:43.his. Rhys Prescott was a surprise winner. James Dasaolu is here. CJ

:50:44. > :50:49.Ujah was very fast in the semifinal of the British Championships but

:50:50. > :51:05.didn't run. Adam Gemili is sitting in the wings. Who can take this and

:51:06. > :51:13.push their case here? James Dasaolu, quietly went about his business at

:51:14. > :51:20.the trials. I think he thought he would win but Prescott came through

:51:21. > :51:25.late. James Dasaolu is in the team. We have Beejay Lee, don't know too

:51:26. > :51:31.much about him, a new American name. Unlike Kim Collins, 41, who has been

:51:32. > :51:38.around for a long time. World champion of 2003 and still running

:51:39. > :51:46.fast. A very popular man. Richard Kilty, illness meant he missed a few

:51:47. > :51:54.weeks at an important part of the season but wants to stake a claim

:51:55. > :51:59.for a place in the relay squad. Harry was third at the championships

:52:00. > :52:06.himself individually. Again, an event where plenty of qualifiers,

:52:07. > :52:11.James Dasaolu, Prescott, they got their spots. CJ Ujah, who to be fair

:52:12. > :52:13.is having a very good year, very consistent on the Diamond League

:52:14. > :52:19.circuit as well. Pretty impressive in Rome. Second in the Oslo Diamond

:52:20. > :52:29.League. This is not a Diamond League event here. But he will want to win

:52:30. > :52:39.this, to be fair, CJ. He's in lane four.

:52:40. > :52:52.Well... Joel Fearon? We didn't mention him at the start. Had a

:52:53. > :52:56.cracking year last year. He will be the least disappointed not to make

:52:57. > :53:01.the team because he has other things to think about, the Winter Olympics

:53:02. > :53:08.coming up. He's part of the Bobsleigh squad. Colin, what about

:53:09. > :53:14.this, is it the far side? I couldn't see it. Kim Collins was rocking and

:53:15. > :53:22.rolling, not stable in the box in lane eight. Interesting to see what

:53:23. > :53:27.they say. Beejay Lee is just having a word with one of the starters

:53:28. > :53:31.marksmen. Being gas to get back quickly. At the moment there is no

:53:32. > :53:37.indication there will be a disqualification. But the Burchfield

:53:38. > :53:46.harrier, Joel Fearon, fifth that the British Championships, looking a

:53:47. > :53:51.little sheepish. If it's not a false start, we will see if we can get on

:53:52. > :53:59.with this. Just waiting to see. Which colour? I am teasing you a

:54:00. > :54:06.little bit, it will be the black and red will stop here we go. Colin is

:54:07. > :54:12.laughing. It's the card of doom, really. It is, but I think he knew

:54:13. > :54:23.anyway. Joel Fearon has already walked off. We have the American

:54:24. > :54:32.Brandon Carr is in round two. Then Harry and CJ Ujah, the British

:54:33. > :54:33.athletes. Isiah Young, James Tisolo, Beejay Lee, Kim Collins and Richard

:54:34. > :55:03.Kilty in his first race back. Harry gets out pretty well. CJ Ujah.

:55:04. > :55:09.Brandon Carr on the far side was quickest. It's going to be CJ. He

:55:10. > :55:17.gets it from James Dasaolu. That might be enough. You suspect that's

:55:18. > :55:21.just a continuation of the season for him. Consistent around the ten

:55:22. > :55:25.second mark. Would look to get sub ten with the wind slightly

:55:26. > :55:29.following, but good, solid, consistent 100 metre running from

:55:30. > :55:34.this man. We are not the selectors, but it makes it difficult for them

:55:35. > :55:38.to look anywhere else. I would say not to look further than this young

:55:39. > :55:42.man. He's had an exceptional year. Sometimes we get carried away with

:55:43. > :55:46.times. We think people should be under the ten second barrier, but

:55:47. > :55:50.ultimately the most important thing is to come to these big races and

:55:51. > :55:56.take the victories. And if you can win on the Diamond League circuit,

:55:57. > :56:01.people start to know your name. They recognise your performances, and

:56:02. > :56:06.they fear you. CJ is coming here, running consistently around the ten

:56:07. > :56:10.second mark. And he's taking the victories. Those are by far the most

:56:11. > :56:14.important things. It's nice to see him return from that little problem

:56:15. > :56:18.he had at the trials. He has put that behind him and I would say

:56:19. > :56:29.fingers crossed that's more than enough to impress the selectors.

:56:30. > :56:35.Harry faded a bit. James Dasaolu coming through strongly at the end.

:56:36. > :56:38.Good enough for second. He's running pretty consistently as well. I think

:56:39. > :56:48.you will be pretty happy with that performance. 10.06 coming up for

:56:49. > :56:52.him, a season's best. CJ coming through with another win of a good

:56:53. > :57:00.opposition and confirming his very good form. Just outside ten seconds.

:57:01. > :57:05.We will confirm the result... 10.02 equals his season's best. Harry in

:57:06. > :57:11.fourth. Richard Kilty on his comeback in seventh. Equalling the

:57:12. > :57:15.season 's best and taking the victory. No doubt you are heading to

:57:16. > :57:19.the World Championships. Hopefully, we will have to see. It was a nice

:57:20. > :57:27.race. Unfortunately I didn't get to race in the final. I would love to

:57:28. > :57:32.have raced in Birmingham. You were really disappointed not to be able

:57:33. > :57:36.to do that final. I was in fine shape. I wanted to come out there

:57:37. > :57:40.and hopefully grab a personal best. But there are bigger things that I

:57:41. > :57:45.can move towards. Last year you wanted to push hard in the semi. It

:57:46. > :57:50.replicates what you need to do in the World Championships. I have been

:57:51. > :57:53.running fast every round out this year. You need to do that. That's

:57:54. > :57:57.what we are getting in place and hopefully I can do it at the World

:57:58. > :58:00.Championships. It's showing. Every time you come out you hit your

:58:01. > :58:06.stride and get consistently fast times. He will go under ten again

:58:07. > :58:11.soon. Definitely. I didn't get a good start, but with a bit more

:58:12. > :58:19.sharpness in a few weeks. Very well done today CJ. We look forward to

:58:20. > :58:25.the World Championships. A second attempt in the high jump.

:58:26. > :58:29.Comfortable clearance, one of the most dominant, as we were saying

:58:30. > :58:34.earlier, looking for another victory here. Unbeaten through the year.

:58:35. > :58:41.Good clearance at 1.97 to take her into the lead with daylight to

:58:42. > :58:44.spare. As you would expect when you jump two metres and six centimetres,

:58:45. > :58:52.fifth on the world all-time rankings. First round of the long

:58:53. > :59:02.jump for Spanovic of Serbia. Round one. Just shy of the seven-metre

:59:03. > :59:07.line. A little frown on her face. Is she OK? We saw her put together an

:59:08. > :59:13.amazing series at the European indoor Championships. Limping away

:59:14. > :59:19.from the first round, Spanovic. We will have a look at this. Tony, I

:59:20. > :59:24.don't know what to make of it. It's a long effort, but clearly not

:59:25. > :59:28.comfortable. We are seeing that from her expression as she comes out

:59:29. > :59:32.limping, holding herself down, possibly a problem with her ankle.

:59:33. > :59:36.Maybe that's why we haven't seen eight great deal of her this season.

:59:37. > :59:44.Still a season's best. We hope she's OK. Vashti Cunningham of the United

:59:45. > :59:50.States looking to go clear. Last chance, and does. Good high jump

:59:51. > :59:53.competition brewing up with the two main contenders going head to head

:59:54. > :00:01.now. Lasitskene and Vashti Cunningham. 19 years of age, third

:00:02. > :00:11.time of asking, showing competitive mettle. Good clearance at 1.97.

:00:12. > :00:21.Morgan Lake went out at 1.90. A solid week.

:00:22. > :00:32.These will be the athletes contending for medals at the world

:00:33. > :00:38.Championships. Over to the javelin. Sara Kolak was the surprise Olympic

:00:39. > :00:44.champion. She is over 65 metres comfortably. She has had a good

:00:45. > :00:54.week. She had a personal best in Switzerland a few days ago. 68.43.

:00:55. > :00:59.Her left foot strikes down hard on solid. The Olympic champion has

:01:00. > :01:05.found a groove. Good timing after her surprise when last year, putting

:01:06. > :01:10.together a textbook season. Timing her run into the World Championships

:01:11. > :01:25.perfectly. That is close to 70 metres. Waiting for this distance to

:01:26. > :01:35.come up. It is 67.83. It takes the lead. Jazmin Sawyers in the long

:01:36. > :01:44.jump. Into the third roundabout. For best so far of 6.39. That is in last

:01:45. > :01:50.place. She needs lots more. She looked to be laboured on the

:01:51. > :01:57.approach. Not quite comfortable. It is kind of the way that she jumps.

:01:58. > :02:02.She comes in that pays. As soon as hush shin becomes vertical, she

:02:03. > :02:06.becomes vertical. She goes up and drops short. She needs to have a

:02:07. > :02:19.flat take-off and to carry her speed. 6.44. The final of the

:02:20. > :02:23.women's 100-metre hurdles. This is an example of the strength of depth

:02:24. > :02:30.of the Americans. There are six Americans in the final. That is Miya

:02:31. > :02:39.Ali. Silver-medallist last year at in Brazil. Sally Pearson. Gold here

:02:40. > :02:43.five years ago. She has had injuries over the last couple of years. She

:02:44. > :02:52.had a terrible fall in Rome where she injured her wrist. And then

:02:53. > :02:55.hamstring problems. Kendra Harrison took the world record of the

:02:56. > :03:01.Bulgarian but missed out on the World Championships. Jasmin Stowers

:03:02. > :03:07.was just eighth in the US Championships and she missed out on

:03:08. > :03:13.the Olympics as well. Christina Manning, third in the US trials. She

:03:14. > :03:25.will be heard any few weeks' time. But Sharika Nelvis will not. 12.53

:03:26. > :03:32.this season as her best time. The Dane Vilas from the Netherlands. She

:03:33. > :03:42.has got heptathlon experience. -- Nadine Visser. For her to make the

:03:43. > :03:48.final was something of an achievement here. Six Americans, one

:03:49. > :03:49.that Norwegian, the Australian Sally Pearson and Nadine Broersen from the

:03:50. > :04:00.Netherlands. Harrison was in lean six when she

:04:01. > :04:09.set the world record last year. How fast can Harrison go is the

:04:10. > :04:44.question here. Sally Pearson, what a run. Dragging

:04:45. > :04:49.that out from her memories of days gone by. That was Sally Pearson not

:04:50. > :04:54.quite back to her very best but what a run from the Australian to give

:04:55. > :05:01.Harrison quite a raise. Kendra Harrison is the winner again. 12.39,

:05:02. > :05:08.she will be the woman to beat at the World Championships. Great race.

:05:09. > :05:12.Looking down on the track, that is Jasmin Stowers who crashed into the

:05:13. > :05:17.barriers at the back end of the race. These women run so quickly, it

:05:18. > :05:23.is unforgiving, you just have to clip it and that throws you

:05:24. > :05:32.sideways. Sally has sprinted quite nicely already, 11.25, this year.

:05:33. > :05:38.She lost some of her technical ability at the back end of the grace

:05:39. > :05:44.which makes a big difference in terms of performance. That was a 12

:05:45. > :05:53.point four performance from Sally Pearson. Harrison clattered one of

:05:54. > :05:56.the barriers in the middle of the race. She battled to get back into

:05:57. > :06:09.it. She could feel the presence of Sally Pearson but would not get --

:06:10. > :06:15.let's Sally get past a shoulder. Harrison ran smoothly. Great run

:06:16. > :06:20.from Sally Pearson. Harrison clattered into that barrier. She

:06:21. > :06:24.dropped off the side of the hurdle. She still maintained her poise and

:06:25. > :06:30.belief that she can get back into the race. Focus again and

:06:31. > :06:33.concentrate. That was an ugly way for Jasmin Stowers to finish and she

:06:34. > :06:40.smashed into the floor. That was a terrible fall. Harrelson taking the

:06:41. > :06:50.victory ahead of the season 's best for Sally Pearson. Sally told me

:06:51. > :06:55.that she has to -- often catch a flight. Congratulations on this

:06:56. > :07:01.return to form for you. I cannot believe it. I knew I was in good

:07:02. > :07:08.shape when I ran 11.2 if you weeks ago in the 100 metres. I was trying

:07:09. > :07:15.to get my rhythm right. Kendra Harrison has done amazing things.

:07:16. > :07:18.And she has put the belief back into our bed for the females. I am

:07:19. > :07:24.excited that I have been able to prove to myself watch it I am in.

:07:25. > :07:28.And you have a chance to get back here for the World Championships,

:07:29. > :07:31.the place where you won the gold medal for Australia. England is

:07:32. > :07:36.special for me. Not just because of the Olympics but I am welcome, my

:07:37. > :07:42.family is here and they get to see me run. I am just so happy. You

:07:43. > :07:48.deserve to be happy. Go catch your flight. Thank you to Sally. She was

:07:49. > :07:55.very generous to you. She is a great inspiration for you, you are taking

:07:56. > :07:58.the sport to new heights? She pushed me as much as I pushed her. I hit a

:07:59. > :08:03.few barriers. I could feel her next to me so we both gave all we had.

:08:04. > :08:08.What is it like to be in the place where you set the world record and

:08:09. > :08:13.you have 121 in a row since then. I am blessed to be back. To have an

:08:14. > :08:20.injury one month ago and to be on such a fast track. And about in such

:08:21. > :08:24.great plans. I am so excited, my second World Championships. I am

:08:25. > :08:29.going to give everything I have. Good luck for the World

:08:30. > :08:34.Championships. COMMENTATOR: Good win for Kendra Harrison. Good news but

:08:35. > :08:42.that -- Jasmin Stowers after that fall at the last barrier is OK.

:08:43. > :08:50.Mariya Lasitskene, the Russian, she has one file at this height of two

:08:51. > :08:56.metres. She has got it. The only athlete in this field of a lifetime

:08:57. > :09:00.best higher than two metres. She has cleared two metres in 20

:09:01. > :09:07.competitions. No other athlete has done that hate this year. She

:09:08. > :09:11.continues her dominance. That secures the victory and another

:09:12. > :09:16.diamond lead when four Mariya Lasitskene. She is competing as a

:09:17. > :09:27.neutral athlete. She was cleared by the IAAF to compete this year.

:09:28. > :09:32.Vashti Cunningham for a lifetime best by one centimetre. She got too

:09:33. > :09:38.close to the bar and had no space. She hands of the victory to Mariya

:09:39. > :09:46.Lasitskene. She has a poker as ever. That is her celebrating. Cunningham

:09:47. > :09:59.in second place, 1.97, she is rounding into good shape as well.

:10:00. > :10:04.Last round of the javelin. The lead for the Olympic champion, Sara

:10:05. > :10:08.Kolak. The previous Olympic champion in the last round has really let

:10:09. > :10:20.loose. That is a big role. She knows it. She is appreciative of some

:10:21. > :10:27.support here, Barbaro spor tag of, champion here five years ago. --

:10:28. > :10:41.Barbara spor took over. That is how to do it. She has a six feet, two

:10:42. > :10:46.inches frame. 72.28, not quite out to that distance. It is a confidence

:10:47. > :10:56.booster going into the World Championships. 68.2 six. She takes

:10:57. > :11:08.the lead. Back to this long jump competition. We saw a Ivana Spanovic

:11:09. > :11:15.retire, she was frowning. Johnson-Thompson had 6.61 and a and

:11:16. > :11:24.then she had two Phil attempts. She was far beyond the board. She is

:11:25. > :11:34.only long jumping this afternoon after the sprint hurdles. Fourth

:11:35. > :11:39.round for Johnson-Thompson. Again the undercarriage coming down early.

:11:40. > :11:46.I think so. She did not really have the speed. Following two fouls,

:11:47. > :11:51.where she struggled with the runway, she is getting back on the board.

:11:52. > :11:58.She still has 20 centimetres to spare and that would relate to 60

:11:59. > :12:02.points in the heptathlon. It is about getting the run we acted it.

:12:03. > :12:12.This is a good points scoring event for Johnson-Thompson. This and the

:12:13. > :12:19.high jump. 6.47, just behind her first effort. 6.61 is her best

:12:20. > :12:24.effort so far. GABBY: this is to update June that

:12:25. > :12:29.Jasmin Stowers did get up and walked off the track. She took a nasty fall

:12:30. > :12:35.and that 100 metre hurdles race. She looked like she had given herself a

:12:36. > :12:39.nasty hit to the head. I am sure the medical team are checking over but

:12:40. > :12:44.it is great to see her walking off. Let us get down to the track. We

:12:45. > :12:54.have the men's 110 metre hurdles final. COMMENTATOR:. A Leighs Mallet

:12:55. > :13:08.is a very popular figure. -- Aries Merritt. Devon Allen, twice the US

:13:09. > :13:13.collegiate champion. Jihadi false start in Paris in the diamond lead.

:13:14. > :13:29.He was disqualified. -- he had a false start. David Aldridge takes

:13:30. > :13:37.the applause of the crowd. Shane Brathwaite of the -- of Barbados.

:13:38. > :13:42.And Jarret Eaton of the United States. There are some absentees.

:13:43. > :13:52.The US champion did not make it through. You're missing McLeod.

:13:53. > :13:58.Otago as well. The field is weakened. It is a chance for David

:13:59. > :14:02.Domej is to show what he can do. Aries Merritt not quite back to his

:14:03. > :14:58.best. The best that he had in 2012, he was outstanding.

:14:59. > :15:04.13.11. Aries Merritt looking good. He knows he has run quicker in the

:15:05. > :15:08.past but it is good to see him winning again and smiling again. He

:15:09. > :15:17.will challenge at the World Championships. There are some big

:15:18. > :15:20.names messing. 13.09, it was rounded down. He will be a contender in the

:15:21. > :15:30.World Championships. He knows how to win. This was the

:15:31. > :15:37.home of his victory at the Olympics. Flawless performance from him. All

:15:38. > :15:42.Aries Merritt needs to do is concentrate in that final when it

:15:43. > :15:45.comes to the World Championships, because he makes very little mistake

:15:46. > :15:50.is. When it comes to the backend of the race on the pressure is on, if

:15:51. > :15:54.you can keep your technique solid, you will have a good opportunity.

:15:55. > :16:02.Again, the first barrier was the undoing of David Omoregie. From then

:16:03. > :16:06.on he was chasing the race. Far too much to do. He will be disappointed

:16:07. > :16:11.with that. He would love to be in a race like this and be competitive.

:16:12. > :16:16.He has the capability and talent. Smashed the first hurdle and tipped

:16:17. > :16:19.him all over the shop. He spent his whole time recovering instead of

:16:20. > :16:24.focusing on the barriers he was going to approach next. A complete

:16:25. > :16:33.contrast to Aries Merritt, who was flawless in his performance. David

:16:34. > :16:41.Omoregie looking elsewhere. There is the result, Aries Merritt with a

:16:42. > :16:45.season's best to take the victory. This must conjure up so many

:16:46. > :16:49.fantastic memories every time you step on this track. Of course it

:16:50. > :16:56.does, I won Olympic gold in 2012 here. I couldn't be more thankful to

:16:57. > :16:59.be running here at this time. You picked in 2012. You've had more than

:17:00. > :17:04.your ups and downs on the way back. Only a couple of years since major

:17:05. > :17:10.surgery. Here you are with a major contender for gold. There are a lot

:17:11. > :17:13.of great athletes out there now. Me running in 12.80 has raised the

:17:14. > :17:18.standards. A lot more people are running 12 and 13.0, but I'm really

:17:19. > :17:26.confident in my training and we are picking at the right time. We will

:17:27. > :17:31.have six weeks of speed work by the time we come back for the World

:17:32. > :17:35.Championships. We will see if Omar McLeod is back for Jamaica. He's had

:17:36. > :17:39.an injury problem that should be fine. Do you see it as the two of

:17:40. > :17:43.you going head to head? Of course, he's an amazing athlete and very

:17:44. > :17:49.fast on the flat. He's switched coaches, working on his technique.

:17:50. > :17:54.He will be a major contender, as is everybody else. Andrea Pozzi is

:17:55. > :18:04.running fast, Lee Valley of Jamaica is running fast. -- Levi of Jamaica.

:18:05. > :18:09.Next up on the track is the women's mile. Laura Muir is going for a

:18:10. > :18:14.British record that is held by Zola Budd. The 1500 metre record holder,

:18:15. > :18:19.got that from Kelly Holmes last year. European indoor 3,000-metre

:18:20. > :18:24.record holder. Can she get this today in preparation for the Worlds,

:18:25. > :18:30.Paula? She's definitely capable of it. She will undoubtedly have

:18:31. > :18:35.watched Dibaba run quick plastic. That would be in her sights as well.

:18:36. > :18:39.But she has Jenny Meadows pacemaking. Laura doesn't really

:18:40. > :18:43.need a pacemaker, she is capable of pushing herself hard on her own, but

:18:44. > :18:48.she has Jenny there. Watch out for Jenny Simpson and Kate Grace as

:18:49. > :18:57.well. She ran a quick 800 metres in the week. Talking about doubling up

:18:58. > :19:02.in London. But with the 1500. Yes. This promises to be competitive with

:19:03. > :19:08.Jenny Simpson in there looking for a US mile record as well perhaps.

:19:09. > :19:11.Steve Cram. COMMENTATOR: There might be a few national records because

:19:12. > :19:15.the mile isn't run that often these days. I might be right thinking

:19:16. > :19:21.Paula was in the race when the record was broken. I hope I'm right.

:19:22. > :19:28.Laura Muir has it. The stage is set, certainly from a British

:19:29. > :19:37.perspective. I think Hellen Obiri, the Kenyan in good form, she will be

:19:38. > :19:40.the one to watch. She is a very good 1500 metre runner and in good form

:19:41. > :19:48.this year, Olympic silver-medallist at the 5000. The race is set up for

:19:49. > :19:52.Laura Muir. In Lausanne, Dibaba wanted to go out really hard and

:19:53. > :20:01.Laura Muir panicked about what she wanted to do. I think she wants to

:20:02. > :20:10.come home strong and go out more sensible. The record held by Zola

:20:11. > :20:18.Budd, 4.17, point 57. Not many women running under 4.20, so it would be a

:20:19. > :20:21.really good record. Anything in the 4.16 range would break the British

:20:22. > :20:24.record and that would be a good performance from Laura Muir. Given

:20:25. > :20:32.the 800-metre time she had the other day, she must be full of confidence.

:20:33. > :20:36.An injury scare after running in Eugene and having a couple of weeks

:20:37. > :20:40.off. But came fully back into training. Didn't have to hang around

:20:41. > :20:43.to pick up. We saw evidence that the other night. Laura Muir set to go

:20:44. > :20:52.with a host of other British athletes. Laura Weightman guaranteed

:20:53. > :20:57.her spot and Jessica Judd also in the team. One other spot is

:20:58. > :21:01.available. Sarah McDonald has decided not to come to this. She was

:21:02. > :21:07.third at the British Championships. We have an embarrassment of those

:21:08. > :21:12.doing qualifying times, including Melissa Courtney and Kate Snowden.

:21:13. > :21:18.They will hope they can do something special following Laura Muir. Laura

:21:19. > :21:22.Muir pre-selected as the Diamond League champion. And what a

:21:23. > :21:27.reception for Laura Muir. Fast becoming a big star of British

:21:28. > :21:33.athletics. Jess Judd and Laura Weightman joining her in the team.

:21:34. > :21:43.Helen O'Meara E will be there as well, the Olympic silver-medallist

:21:44. > :21:46.at 5000 metres. -- Hellen Obiri. The former world champion Jenny Simpson,

:21:47. > :21:58.she ran so well in Rio to come away with bronze. Laura Muir and Laura

:21:59. > :22:05.Weightman both in that final. Katie Snowden wanting to go out quicker if

:22:06. > :22:11.she can. It's a mile, not 1500 metres, but the 1500 metre time will

:22:12. > :22:15.be taken. There is a photo finish cell 90 metres from the finishing

:22:16. > :22:19.line up the home straight. Here we go with the mile. Laura Muir going

:22:20. > :22:31.for the British record. Deep breath...

:22:32. > :22:37.It's rarely run these days for the women, but Jenny Meadows knows what

:22:38. > :22:42.she's doing. Laura Muir will not hang around, slotting in straight

:22:43. > :22:45.behind. We expect a decent pace, Brendan, nice and even, that's

:22:46. > :22:49.what's required. And they're looking for a strong performance from Laura

:22:50. > :22:53.in the last 500 metres. Jenny Meadows knows what to do, and Laura

:22:54. > :22:57.Muir knows what she wants to do, getting right behind her, get in her

:22:58. > :23:02.slipstream and get as close as she possibly can. Getting to an even

:23:03. > :23:09.pace, a hard run race. Right behind her you have the strength of Kenya

:23:10. > :23:13.and then Laura Weightman and Jess Judd. All be protagonists, the

:23:14. > :23:19.athletes you mentioned, apart from Jenny Simpson, laying it down. This

:23:20. > :23:24.is a record attempt. Hellen Obiri is following Laura Muir, that's the

:23:25. > :23:34.right place for her to be. Her strength will tell in the later

:23:35. > :23:39.stages. You have to have yards, the old imperial measurements. It's a

:23:40. > :23:43.tad quicker than what was asked. You can see why the rest of the field

:23:44. > :23:51.were just behind. Jenny just going a little bit quick. 62.3 for the first

:23:52. > :23:55.400 metres. Laura Muir looking strong, but she must have been

:23:56. > :24:00.really excited the other night. She said she wanted to run a two minute

:24:01. > :24:07.800 metres and ran 1.58 and in the process she beat a fellow

:24:08. > :24:11.Scotswoman. Lynsey Sharp. That will give her confidence. Looking at the

:24:12. > :24:18.range of her performances, under two minutes at the 800, under four

:24:19. > :24:26.minutes for the 1500. No British athlete has ever run strength over

:24:27. > :24:29.that range, 800 to 5000, she could be the new superstar of British

:24:30. > :24:34.athletics. She has a few more weeks of training to prove it and get

:24:35. > :24:39.ready. Laura Muir following Jenny Meadows, who will probably step off

:24:40. > :24:46.shortly. Hellen Obiri has not been more than half a metre behind. Peter

:24:47. > :24:55.Grace has moved into third. Laura Weightman up to fourth. Garcia is

:24:56. > :24:59.also moving up. They slowed down on the second lap, so I think Laura

:25:00. > :25:02.needs to gather. She knows Hellen Obiri will keep the pressure on, but

:25:03. > :25:07.make sure you have something for the final lap. The record is still on.

:25:08. > :25:12.That's the position a true, strong, confident distance runner likes to

:25:13. > :25:16.take. British distance runners have often run like this. But she knows

:25:17. > :25:19.it's her against the clock. She has the Olympic silver-medallist behind

:25:20. > :25:24.her, tracking her every inch of the way. Laura putting a loss of

:25:25. > :25:29.pressure on herself. Hellen Obiri closes the gap. She couldn't have

:25:30. > :25:35.asked for a better pacemaker. Laura Muir is out there pushing along.

:25:36. > :25:42.Hellen Obiri tracking her. There is a gap back to Kate Grace, Simpson,

:25:43. > :25:53.Laura Weightman. They have probably gone through 400 to go, around 3.30,

:25:54. > :25:57.a big last lap needed, but she has Hellen Obiri to content with. She

:25:58. > :26:01.has Hellen Obiri and the final lap and the place to contend with, but

:26:02. > :26:05.she is trying to do it the hard way, trying to do it from the front,

:26:06. > :26:09.trying to do it by wearing down the opposition as well as trying to run

:26:10. > :26:13.quick. A fascinating race, Steve. Laura Muir at the front, gritting

:26:14. > :26:24.her teeth with Hellen Obiri sitting where she has for the whole race

:26:25. > :26:27.behind her. Laura Muir at the moment, she has to find something in

:26:28. > :26:30.the home straight. This is a battle she will want to win because Hellen

:26:31. > :26:34.Obiri is moving on to her shoulder. What does she have? Hellen Obiri has

:26:35. > :26:39.been in superb form this year and showing it here. Hellen Obiri is

:26:40. > :26:43.awake and gone. Laura Muir fighting for the record still. But Hellen

:26:44. > :26:47.Obiri showing why she will be one of the favourites for the World

:26:48. > :26:59.Championships. I think Laura will be just outside the record. That was an

:27:00. > :27:07.indication for Laura Muir of what will happen, and bear in mind this

:27:08. > :27:14.woman will race the 5000 metres. Face has broken the Kenyan record by

:27:15. > :27:19.a couple of tenths. She had the mile record for Kenya. It'll be a new

:27:20. > :27:33.national record for Hellen Obiri. Laura Muir the British record. Winny

:27:34. > :27:39.Chebet, all of them getting dragged round in good times. But if Laura

:27:40. > :27:43.Muir didn't know beforehand, she will know how hard it will be now.

:27:44. > :27:47.That's not how to prepare for the World Championships. She rang brave,

:27:48. > :27:52.strongly, the second fastest time ever by a Briton over a mile, but

:27:53. > :27:56.she has laid it all out. She was the perfect pacemaker for Hellen Obiri,

:27:57. > :28:02.who couldn't believe her luck. She has a great athlete running the 1500

:28:03. > :28:04.metres, laying it down for her. She has followed, a class athlete,

:28:05. > :28:14.Olympic silver-medallist. She's going for the 5000 in a few weeks at

:28:15. > :28:17.the World Championships, as is Laura Muir. There's the warning. An

:28:18. > :28:20.athlete finishing on the up, Hellen Obiri, looking forward to the 5000

:28:21. > :28:23.in the World Championships. A class performance, running strongly,

:28:24. > :28:25.running well, and then Laura Muir battling in the finishing straight

:28:26. > :28:29.and now it's back to the drawing board, thinking again, this isn't

:28:30. > :28:33.the way you finish. You finish on the up going to a championship, she

:28:34. > :28:38.hasn't. She will be disappointed with that, but she is a strong,

:28:39. > :28:44.brave runner and athlete. Let's hope she can gather herself. She's

:28:45. > :28:48.downstairs talking to fill. Brendan saying you will be disappointed with

:28:49. > :28:54.that going to the World Championships. I'm actually pretty

:28:55. > :29:00.happy. I missed the record but it's a personal best for me. It's faster

:29:01. > :29:05.than my mile last year. I'm really happy. I think considering where I

:29:06. > :29:11.have been, I'm really happy with where I'm at. That's great to hear.

:29:12. > :29:15.Tell me about the race and how it unfolded from your perspective. I

:29:16. > :29:18.knew Jenny would do a good job so I stuck with her and try to push as

:29:19. > :29:23.hard as I could, but the last hundred metres, it was tough! But I

:29:24. > :29:29.love being out here. I got a great reception. You had in the taster

:29:30. > :29:34.with the crowd today. It will be more packed, the World Championships

:29:35. > :29:40.and they will be behind you. What's that like? The reception here is

:29:41. > :29:43.amazing. We can hear the crowd. It's so exciting for a month's time.

:29:44. > :30:01.Thank you for talking to us. Laura Weightman is here. Having seen

:30:02. > :30:08.Laura Muir taken out so hard, she said it was not bad, personal best.

:30:09. > :30:16.I felt really good. I just lost it a little bit. In the last bit of the

:30:17. > :30:21.last lap. It is nice to run confidently, being more aggressive

:30:22. > :30:24.in races, going out and see what I have got. Good to see you performing

:30:25. > :30:31.so well. We will see you back here soon.

:30:32. > :30:38.GABBY: that is Mo Farah about to run the final event on the track. The

:30:39. > :30:41.3000 metres. With the World Championships in mind, talking about

:30:42. > :30:47.preparation, what will Mo Farah want to get from this race? A victory,

:30:48. > :30:52.that is all he is looking for. He was disappointed with the 10,000

:30:53. > :30:58.metres, despite getting the victory. He felt he needed to add something

:30:59. > :31:03.in training for preparation. This is about ticking boxes. He will put in

:31:04. > :31:10.more training. Then he will see what he can do over 1500 metres. He

:31:11. > :31:15.always comes out on these big occasions, whether it is indoors,

:31:16. > :31:18.Olympic Games, World Championships. He gave a candid interview

:31:19. > :31:26.yesterday, stating he is not quite where he wants to be. Is that

:31:27. > :31:30.normal? Is it unfamiliar for him? I think it is normal for him. He wants

:31:31. > :31:34.to be absolutely ready and you can not be always ready. It is better

:31:35. > :31:40.for him to be chasing, at the same as Laura Muir, still something to

:31:41. > :31:49.add. Let us get over to Brendan and Steve Cram. COMMENTATOR: It might be

:31:50. > :31:53.the last race ahead of the World Championships for Mo Farah. He will

:31:54. > :32:01.be heading home tomorrow. He was the believe he could run in Monaco and

:32:02. > :32:07.get some speed work. He makes the task look very easy.

:32:08. > :32:12.APPLAUSE Is Mo Farah just once a good, solid

:32:13. > :32:21.performance in front of this home crowd. Get used to this atmosphere

:32:22. > :32:35.again. Andy Butcher, 40 years he had. We have seen the moustache!

:32:36. > :32:45.Keep working on it. Hassan Mead. The Spanish athlete, Adel Mechaal is

:32:46. > :32:54.having a very good season. Ryan Hill in the past has went quick. 7.30, it

:32:55. > :33:03.was last year. And Riley Masters on the inside. It is usually up to Mo

:33:04. > :33:08.Farah of showing he wants to put on. Adam Clarke does lots of peacemaking

:33:09. > :33:16.for Mo Farah ahead of championships. He will help with the pace. And then

:33:17. > :33:28.Reuben Bett take over. The men's 3000 metres, 7.5 laps of the track.

:33:29. > :33:33.It is the last June up for Mo ahead of the World Championships. Bringing

:33:34. > :33:38.in Brendan, what did you make of his 10,000 metre run? He went out with

:33:39. > :33:43.real intent but did not run as fast as he wanted to. It was a good

:33:44. > :33:49.victory when you look back it. You do not need a fast 10,000 metres on

:33:50. > :33:54.the build-up to a Championships, you want to do 10,000 time trials. Look

:33:55. > :34:02.at the difference between Mo and watching Laura Muir. Laura Muir set

:34:03. > :34:10.of every ounce of energy in the first couple of hundred metres. Mo

:34:11. > :34:14.has drifted to the back and that is because he is confident. There is a

:34:15. > :34:21.difference in the personality but it is a different approach. Mo appears

:34:22. > :34:29.to be relaxed. Early stages of the 3000 metres. Over to the long jump.

:34:30. > :34:34.It is the world and Olympic champion, Tianna Bartoletta. She is

:34:35. > :34:38.in third place. That looks to be around the seven-metre mark and if

:34:39. > :34:48.it is, it will take the lead in this fifth round. The jump of 6.88 by

:34:49. > :35:01.Ivana Spanovic in round two is the best so far. 6.71 is her best so

:35:02. > :35:07.far. She won the US trials. Tianna Bartoletta is looking to defend her

:35:08. > :35:14.world title. Waiting for her distance, it is 7.01, it is the

:35:15. > :35:20.meeting record and edit equals whole season 's best. Mo has got himself

:35:21. > :35:29.moving. Peace is keeping an eye on his team-mate, Andrew Butchart. His

:35:30. > :35:38.best is only 7.45, he ran that Blaha. There he is in the yellow

:35:39. > :35:46.shorts in fifth place. Andrew Butchart, he knows Mo well, the

:35:47. > :35:50.add-in training together. Andrew Butchart is a tough competitor and

:35:51. > :35:56.he will want to go quick today, give Mo something to think about. He was

:35:57. > :36:01.sixth in the Olympic Games. He is a confident young man, Andrew

:36:02. > :36:05.Butchart. He came of age in the Olympic Games last year. He was in

:36:06. > :36:11.contention with just over one lap to go. He should be in contention

:36:12. > :36:14.today. These are the sort of faces that Andrew Butchart should be

:36:15. > :36:20.competing in. And having the chance to run against Mo Farah, he will not

:36:21. > :36:26.get many more chances. What he should be doing is moving out and

:36:27. > :36:30.following Mo. Mo will provide the opportunity for him. He is stepping

:36:31. > :36:35.out on the shoulder of Mo Farah and getting next to him. Mo Farah is

:36:36. > :36:40.looking relaxed, at home in his favourite stadium. This is the last

:36:41. > :36:45.race we will see him in before the World Championships and the World

:36:46. > :36:51.Championships are the last time we will see him on the track. Just a

:36:52. > :36:54.couple of races for Mo. In his favourite stadium. He is relaxed on

:36:55. > :37:14.the middle, with Andrew Butchart on his soldier. The first 1000 metres

:37:15. > :37:20.is 2.32. We are running well under 7.40 pace. Going back into the pack

:37:21. > :37:39.is able me shall. They gather around Mo because he is

:37:40. > :37:45.the boss. If he moves then the move. The thing about Mo Farah, he is

:37:46. > :37:52.relaxing coming down the home straight. There are three laps to

:37:53. > :37:56.go, he is drifting out front. The code are being given something to

:37:57. > :38:00.shout about. The key for Andrew Butchart is to stay in the right

:38:01. > :38:06.possession. He does not need to be leading, he could be right beside

:38:07. > :38:12.Mo. With the sprint finish, Mo Farah knows he has the weapons. He has the

:38:13. > :38:19.code on his side. And he now needs to concentrate and make the best of

:38:20. > :38:22.this moment. The fourth lap was very slow, 65 seconds. That is why Andrew

:38:23. > :38:29.Butchart wants to push on. He did not want to see the chance of a good

:38:30. > :38:37.time slip away. Moving outside the 7.40 range now. Andrew Butchart

:38:38. > :38:41.said, I want to get moving, do not want to leave it to the kick.

:38:42. > :38:51.Kiplangat, the 18-year-old Kenyan moves up. There are good runners

:38:52. > :38:56.behind. They are on all -- now all in single file. Moving up to the

:38:57. > :39:02.shoulder of Mo Farah. Two laps to go. Andrew Butchart reading. Mo

:39:03. > :39:07.Farah enjoying the day out in London from second place. Andrew Butchart

:39:08. > :39:13.trying to impose himself on this race. I am enjoying watching him. He

:39:14. > :39:19.runs strongly from a long way out. He has made this break for home and

:39:20. > :39:24.have to hold it as long as he can. Mo is moving towards on the back

:39:25. > :39:29.straight. The beautiful sight of Mo in full flow, we will not see it

:39:30. > :39:35.many more times. We should enjoy it most we can see it. The greatest

:39:36. > :39:38.distance runner we have ever had. In my view, the greatest sportsman that

:39:39. > :39:44.Britain has ever had. On the shoulder of his team-mate. Andrew

:39:45. > :39:59.Butchart is doing his best to stretch everyone out. Mo Farah picks

:40:00. > :40:12.up and aid only child goes with. That was the 59th penultimate lap.

:40:13. > :40:17.Mo likes to go from a fair way out. Down the back straight, Mo Farah in

:40:18. > :40:22.the anniversary games with the crowd on his side. Watching everything

:40:23. > :40:28.that is going on and the weight of everything. Mo Farah with evident in

:40:29. > :40:35.-- with 200 metres to go and with Adel Mechaal behind him. These two

:40:36. > :40:44.are pulling away. Adel Mechaal has not been gotten rid of. Mo Farah

:40:45. > :40:51.kicks again. Huge egos. Mo Farah cheered on by this huge crowd. He is

:40:52. > :41:02.going to win by seven metres. He takes it at 7.35. Andrew Butchart

:41:03. > :41:06.held on for third place. We never surprised by that because that is

:41:07. > :41:14.what he does and what he can do. I think he will be pleased. That will

:41:15. > :41:19.blow away the cobwebs. 7.35 is well within his comfort zone. The last

:41:20. > :41:23.100 was very fast. Just what he needs before his last preparations

:41:24. > :41:28.ahead of the championships. Absolutely right. He told you

:41:29. > :41:31.earlier that that could be his last race before the championships

:41:32. > :41:37.because he needs more trading. When I look at that phrase, 55 for the

:41:38. > :41:43.last lap, Mo digging deep. Andrew Butchart recognising the master. I

:41:44. > :41:48.think Mo is right, I think he does need a little bit more. On the last

:41:49. > :41:52.lap, Mo Farah in a major championship, he has run faster than

:41:53. > :41:57.that before. Just put on the finishing touches. We do not need to

:41:58. > :42:01.see you running any more. We will wait until you come back to the

:42:02. > :42:06.Olympic Stadium. We will wait for that and look forward to that

:42:07. > :42:10.happening. Mo Farah in the full flow, brilliant finish and brilliant

:42:11. > :42:15.performance. A relaxed winning time. That is how to prepare for a major

:42:16. > :42:20.championships. He was under pressure and digging deep. Looking over his

:42:21. > :42:27.shoulder. Doing whatever he can. And then he decides, you will not beat

:42:28. > :42:32.me but he is flat out, absolutely flat out. He needs some more touches

:42:33. > :42:35.to his speed work. No more races are needed. We will look forward to

:42:36. > :42:41.seeing him in a few weeks' time. He will be happy, let us find out.

:42:42. > :42:45.Always great to see you performing so well in the Olympic Stadium. We

:42:46. > :42:50.will not see you many more times, how much did you relish it? It was

:42:51. > :42:55.amazing, thank you to the code. Great atmosphere. I love London and

:42:56. > :42:58.there is no place like home. Thank you to everybody who has came out to

:42:59. > :43:05.give me massive support. I love you all. I just need to get my head

:43:06. > :43:10.down, my phone off, focus on the race. That is what I enjoy, bracing

:43:11. > :43:15.and representing my country. Not other stuff. Talking about

:43:16. > :43:19.distractions, you had more like it this week, what is it like the view

:43:20. > :43:26.in the newspapers, doesn't distract you? No, not at all, I control my

:43:27. > :43:33.legs and what I do. I love my sport. I will never failed a test. People

:43:34. > :43:39.who know who I am, how hard I work. I do it year after year, I enjoyed

:43:40. > :43:44.it. There's not much more you can do apart from one and do what you love.

:43:45. > :43:49.I love being on the podium and feeding the national anthem, and

:43:50. > :43:54.making so many people happy and to be British. You always give back to

:43:55. > :43:59.the British crowd. We see you on the indoor track and also outdoors. You

:44:00. > :44:04.love it. I love what I do and I am going to enjoy it with a smile. That

:44:05. > :44:07.is all you can do, you can not worry about other stuff. With the World

:44:08. > :44:14.Championships coming up, you will get a taste of that. We had it in

:44:15. > :44:19.2012, it will be elected. It will be incredible, I am proud to be British

:44:20. > :44:31.and do it for my country, make so many people proud. Enjoyed it. I

:44:32. > :44:35.know that Mo Farah things you'll have to run a hard 10,000 metres in

:44:36. > :44:42.those championships. He thinks the Kenyan 's will take it too. He will

:44:43. > :44:47.go away to prepare for that. Lots of personal bests behind Mo Farah,

:44:48. > :44:48.including Andy Butcher, another big performance for heaven, that is a

:44:49. > :45:00.big chunk of his best. In the final round of the long jump

:45:01. > :45:05.competition. Katarina Johnson-Thompson, this looks better.

:45:06. > :45:09.Quicker on the approach, Tony. Much better on the approach and more

:45:10. > :45:16.accurate. Hit the board there. Even when you get hit the board, you get

:45:17. > :45:26.more recoil from it. It gives you more spring and it makes it easy to

:45:27. > :45:31.get off the top. Much better. 6.75 for Johnson-Thompson. That bodes

:45:32. > :45:33.well for the World Championships. Interesting, the second Briton this

:45:34. > :45:42.year who has jumped the horrifying distance. That's fantastic to see.

:45:43. > :45:49.Season's best for Johnson-Thompson, moving up to fourth place, as the

:45:50. > :45:53.graphic told us. Confirmation of the final results. Bartoletta is the

:45:54. > :45:59.only athlete beyond seven metres. Decent job from Johnson-Thompson,

:46:00. > :46:12.Lorraine Ugen and Jasmine Sawyers slightly disappointing. Mo Farah

:46:13. > :46:15.enjoying the celebrations. All the volunteers. Seb Coe, hopefully back

:46:16. > :46:20.for the World Championships where we will see Mo Farah hopefully win to

:46:21. > :46:27.gold medals. He has been presented with a piece of the track from 2012.

:46:28. > :46:31.Obviously a couple of very special nights in particular he had on that

:46:32. > :46:35.track. He's looking for a few more in about four weeks' time. You think

:46:36. > :46:38.at this stage of his career when he knows the end of the track is coming

:46:39. > :46:42.in the summer he will savour every moment. We heard in the postrace

:46:43. > :46:48.interview a heart on the sleeve Mo Farah. Very pumped up. He was very

:46:49. > :46:54.emotional. We saw that with David Weir earlier as well. As he nears

:46:55. > :47:05.the end of his career, if you are at the stage where Laura is at now...

:47:06. > :47:10.Laura Muir is in the studio, I should say. At the end you start to

:47:11. > :47:14.think I want to savour these moments a bit more. Take a bit more to

:47:15. > :47:19.remember with me. He has a piece of the track to remember 2012, as if he

:47:20. > :47:23.needs it, because I'm sure he will have it in his mind, first and

:47:24. > :47:27.foremost when he steps out here in a couple of weeks for the World

:47:28. > :47:31.Championships. We saw that transition in him last year, he was

:47:32. > :47:34.more relaxed, so tight. Paula is right, when you come to the end of

:47:35. > :47:39.your track career, because we know he's going to the roads, it's about

:47:40. > :47:43.saving those moments. So many of us get caught up in the moment. It's

:47:44. > :47:47.everything at that time. You have to remember that it's supposed to be

:47:48. > :47:52.fun as well. That's what he wants to remember, that he's having fun with

:47:53. > :47:57.it. It's beautiful to see so many team-mates, past and present, Derek

:47:58. > :48:01.Redmond. Lawrence Clarke is there. It shows you how much people have

:48:02. > :48:06.enjoyed and have embraced Mo Farah's journey as one of the greatest ever

:48:07. > :48:10.distance runners we have seen. He has been dominant on the global

:48:11. > :48:15.stage since his first global gold in 2011. Since then, eight years of

:48:16. > :48:21.continuously finishing first where it matters. How incredible it has

:48:22. > :48:26.been that his body has stayed fit, he has mentally been able to cope

:48:27. > :48:30.with the pressure. He has seen people try, the Kenyan assault as a

:48:31. > :48:35.trio trying to unbuckle him. Ethiopian attempts to push him out

:48:36. > :48:42.of his stride. America as well. And nobody has found a way through. Then

:48:43. > :48:45.it comes on a domestic level, he comes under attack today from

:48:46. > :48:49.somebody like Andrew Butchart who he has inspired to come through. A lot

:48:50. > :48:55.of the guys celebrating personal bests in that 3,000-metre race had

:48:56. > :49:00.to say thank you to Andrew Butchart for taking it on in the last three

:49:01. > :49:04.laps. And that's Andrew watching Mo Farah training, and not being afraid

:49:05. > :49:08.of it and trying to step up to that level. Not so much saucer and

:49:09. > :49:12.apprentice, but it's wonderful timing for their careers. Mo Farah

:49:13. > :49:18.moving on and Andrew thinking he can step up to take that mantle and take

:49:19. > :49:23.the baton. Laura Muir in the studio, congratulations on your race today.

:49:24. > :49:28.Watching this, what does it make you feel watching these scenes? It makes

:49:29. > :49:34.you proud. The team is amazing. We all get on so well and it's a great

:49:35. > :49:38.atmosphere. You can see there everybody is together supporting

:49:39. > :49:42.everyone. It's great to have that team morale when you go to the

:49:43. > :49:46.championships. The talk today was you were going for the British

:49:47. > :49:52.record. The pacemaking. Did the first lap feel a bit too hot for

:49:53. > :49:56.you? It's hard to look at it at the time, but looking at the splits now,

:49:57. > :50:01.the first lap was a little bit quick. My legs fell off in the last

:50:02. > :50:04.hundred metres. Saying that, it's a personal best on the mile I ran last

:50:05. > :50:12.year in Oslo. I'm going in that direction. I won last year having

:50:13. > :50:15.run a slower time. Having a couple of weeks out of your preparation

:50:16. > :50:18.with injury, that's always unsettling, but it doesn't seem to

:50:19. > :50:23.have thrown you off too much. What were you doing in those weeks rest

:50:24. > :50:29.in yellow working my backside off. I was in the pool for two weeks, but I

:50:30. > :50:33.was in the pool at least twice per day. I was in the gym, trying to

:50:34. > :50:37.keep my fitness up as much as possible. We were worried about the

:50:38. > :50:42.speed but luckily the 800 went pretty well. You know sadly what

:50:43. > :50:47.it's like to be in preparation and have it disrupted. What advice would

:50:48. > :50:50.you give Laura now for the next few weeks before the championships? I

:50:51. > :50:54.don't think she needs the advice from me. The big thing is when you

:50:55. > :50:57.have an injury like that and the injury is far enough away from the

:50:58. > :51:02.championships that it doesn't put it in danger but makes you appreciate

:51:03. > :51:05.you can be there and be running as well as you are, in two weeks you

:51:06. > :51:09.will have lost nothing, she will only have gained in the frustration

:51:10. > :51:13.at the injury and missing racing. And now getting back out racing.

:51:14. > :51:17.It's controlling all of that, not panicking and keep doing what she's

:51:18. > :51:23.doing. Are you still set on the double, or is that up in the air?

:51:24. > :51:28.Still set on it. The Hydro sessions are going really well. In good shape

:51:29. > :51:34.to do the two. Is Hellen Obiri going to be the main challenger? I think

:51:35. > :51:42.so this year. She looks really good. Over a short distance as well, her

:51:43. > :51:46.world times over five K. At this stage it's about not overcooking it.

:51:47. > :51:49.Clearly there has been the interruption but you have done the

:51:50. > :51:53.bulk of the good work. It's trusting in your ability at this stage and

:51:54. > :51:57.not overthinking it. I was lucky to have a solid winter and indoor

:51:58. > :52:01.season, not missing a day. We knew that was in the bank, so we had a

:52:02. > :52:04.couple of easy weeks before getting back onto it. My body is in good

:52:05. > :52:09.shape and its building on that in the next month. Also the

:52:10. > :52:12.preparations for this, a home championships, the likes of which

:52:13. > :52:17.you haven't experienced on that scale before. How does it feel in

:52:18. > :52:22.comparison to the build-up to Rio, are you noticing more intensity? I

:52:23. > :52:27.think so. You can't beat home championships, and a World

:52:28. > :52:30.Championships as well. I wasn't at London 2012, but watching it on

:52:31. > :52:34.television, you got a sense of the reception the athletes got. It's

:52:35. > :52:37.really exciting. I hate running against home athletes because they

:52:38. > :52:40.always pull it out of the bag. I think we will have some surprise

:52:41. > :52:44.performances. It's about looking to the championships, and who will be

:52:45. > :52:48.the backbone of the team, the people you look towards? You are definitely

:52:49. > :52:55.one of those people. I think it's real growth, and you have done your

:52:56. > :52:58.bit on social media. People get behind the athletes now because they

:52:59. > :53:03.are the stars of the future. Today a personal best for you and 4.18 in

:53:04. > :53:07.the mile. Earlier today, walking a mile on the track was Tom Bosworth,

:53:08. > :53:14.going for a British record, and he got a world record. He walks five

:53:15. > :53:20.minutes 31 for a mile. As somebody who just ran a mile, put that into

:53:21. > :53:27.context. I don't even... That is fast. I can't even put it into

:53:28. > :53:32.words. It's amazing. If I get a 5.30 mile, I think, that's fast. For him

:53:33. > :53:35.to walk that is amazing. Putting it into perspective, you have probably

:53:36. > :53:39.trained in the same altitude training camp where Tom has been.

:53:40. > :53:44.You will have been running around and a lot of athletes run on the

:53:45. > :53:47.grass inside the track. When the walkers do their speed work you are

:53:48. > :53:53.going as fast as them on their steady run. That's why it's one of

:53:54. > :53:59.my performances of the day. He was incredible. The crowd got a treat. I

:54:00. > :54:04.challenge you to try and run even a six minute mile. A great way to

:54:05. > :54:08.introduce walking to the Diamond League circuit as well. Hats off to

:54:09. > :54:13.the organisers who put a big step by putting walking on the track, and he

:54:14. > :54:15.delivered. He will be walking 20 kilometres in the World

:54:16. > :54:20.Championships. Normally walking further than the mile, but it must

:54:21. > :54:23.have put the idea in the organisers' minds, and it's a good way of

:54:24. > :54:26.bringing the walkers into the mainstream and not seeing it as a

:54:27. > :54:31.separate event. That's what's happening live right now.

:54:32. > :54:39.Celebrations going on down there. Mo Farah with all the team around him,

:54:40. > :54:42.all doing the Mo-bot. It's a swansong, a long swansong of his

:54:43. > :54:46.track career that we will enjoy over the next few weeks. He hasn't yet

:54:47. > :54:50.decided if he will run Monaco. He might do it before the Worlds, but

:54:51. > :54:57.he will certainly run on track in London for the last time during the

:54:58. > :55:01.Worlds. He might pop up there. Was that rude, Paula? I'm glad he

:55:02. > :55:07.decided the Mo-bot was his long-term celebration and not that. Denise.

:55:08. > :55:17.It's great scenes in the crowd. I think Mo Farah is enjoying it. What

:55:18. > :55:22.an ambassador he's been. As Denise has said, Tom Bosworth is the Muller

:55:23. > :55:27.performance... INAUDIBLE Hopefully we'll see a lot more of

:55:28. > :55:31.him in London. We have just under four weeks until the start of the

:55:32. > :55:35.championships, starting on Friday the 4th of August, three and a half

:55:36. > :55:39.weeks. What happens with you over that period of time, apart from

:55:40. > :55:45.wrapping yourself in cotton wool to stay safe? Pretty much. I have two

:55:46. > :55:50.races. I will have them and then race in Monaco as well. Then we will

:55:51. > :55:56.have a training camp before coming back to London. Thank you so much

:55:57. > :56:00.for coming to join us. Best of luck in the next few weeks for your final

:56:01. > :56:04.preparations. We are all really excited about what you can achieve

:56:05. > :56:09.in London. Great performances from British athletes here today,

:56:10. > :56:14.including Laura, Mo Farah, they are still out there lapping up the crowd

:56:15. > :56:18.adulation. He is the current double world champion, and over the years

:56:19. > :56:19.Great Britain have had so many fantastic golden World Championship

:56:20. > :56:30.winners. Steve Cram bleeding. He's got it.

:56:31. > :56:35.Three yards clear. He wins the World Championships. -- Steve Cram

:56:36. > :56:38.leading. How does it feel to be world champion? A little bit

:56:39. > :56:43.unbelievable. Daley Thompson is clear! I take great pride in my

:56:44. > :56:50.performance. I always want to improve.

:56:51. > :56:54.That's a very big throw, about 76.5 metres. Fatima Whitbread is the

:56:55. > :57:06.world champion. Liz McColgan, a mother in the last

:57:07. > :57:11.few months. This has been a display of confidence and courage and self

:57:12. > :57:15.belief. For me, David, that's the greatest run in the history of

:57:16. > :57:24.British distance running. Can Kriss Akabusi do it? And the American is

:57:25. > :57:30.beaten. Akabusi has made it. Gold for Britain. I had the chance, and I

:57:31. > :57:44.kicked their buts! Away first time. Colin Jackson at

:57:45. > :57:53.the first hurdle. Jackson going away. Jackson takes it. I make that

:57:54. > :57:55.a new world record for Colin Jackson. Linford Christie comes

:57:56. > :58:07.through. Jonathan in the first round. It's

:58:08. > :58:18.huge, massive. My goodness, that's fantastic. 18 metres 16. A world

:58:19. > :58:22.record for Great Britain and Jonathan Edwards. A tough act to

:58:23. > :58:27.follow, but he's done it again! Bear will be a big smile on his face any

:58:28. > :58:35.minute now. Jonathan Edwards has made history again!

:58:36. > :58:45.Can he hold it here? Colin Jackson as taken it at the Worlds. Jonathan

:58:46. > :58:52.Edwards, the world record-holder... That's a huge jump again. One of the

:58:53. > :58:58.longest jumps in history. Jonathan Edwards is the world champion. This

:58:59. > :59:02.is the moment Paula Radcliffe has waited so long for. It's going to be

:59:03. > :59:09.a gold medal for Great Britain. Paula Radcliffe becomes the world

:59:10. > :59:17.champion at last. Christine Ohuruogu coming through. Christine Ohuruogu

:59:18. > :59:25.with the gold! She is the world champion. Sensational story. It's

:59:26. > :59:31.you, you are the world champion, Christine Ohuruogu.

:59:32. > :59:37.Come on. Hop and step, oh yes! That could be the biggest jump of

:59:38. > :59:52.Phillips and those's career. Great Britain has found another

:59:53. > :00:01.star. The Gero from the city of steel. Here is the chance for

:00:02. > :00:14.agreeing to seal the moment. The winds. What a performance from Mo

:00:15. > :00:23.Farah. Mo Farah is going to get there. This is more domination for

:00:24. > :00:32.Mo Farah. He is the world champion. Christine is coming. She might just

:00:33. > :00:38.make it. She never gives up. I cannot believe it. Mo Farah is

:00:39. > :00:43.sprinting for gold. Mo Farah is going to get there again. Mo Farah

:00:44. > :00:53.wins it. Another incredible performance from Mo Farah.

:00:54. > :01:07.8.29 is his lead. Looking to extend it. That is big. 8.41. Greg

:01:08. > :01:12.Rutherford takes gold heard in the Bird's Nest. I cant believe it. They

:01:13. > :01:21.are not good enough, Mo Farah is best. Mo Farah is champion again.

:01:22. > :01:27.She storms pass the Canadian to win the 800 metres. Jessica Ennis-Hill

:01:28. > :01:34.is back on top of the world. They have got nothing for him, Mo Farah

:01:35. > :01:37.streaking away. To be able to continue and in the same category as

:01:38. > :01:49.so many legends, it is amazing. Wasn't that great to watch? The

:01:50. > :01:57.eagle eyed amongst you would recognise two Gold Medal that were

:01:58. > :02:02.not in there. 1997, because of drugs violations. And Jessica Ennis-Hill

:02:03. > :02:09.in 2011. Beware retrospectively awarded. We hope to see more Gold

:02:10. > :02:14.Medal appearances. That is across the BBC from Friday, the 4th of

:02:15. > :02:23.August. The Diamond League moves on next Sunday. That is repeated on

:02:24. > :02:34.July the 17th. And then the World Cup of rowing from Switzerland. And

:02:35. > :02:37.Wimbledon is back tomorrow. I am delighted to see that Katarina

:02:38. > :02:41.Johnson-Thompson has joined us in the studio. She was hurdling and

:02:42. > :02:48.long jumping today. You watch that with some smiles. I always love

:02:49. > :02:55.watching montages like that. My favourite thing to do is what people

:02:56. > :02:59.achieve their dream. We would love to see you adding to that montage in

:03:00. > :03:07.a few weeks' time. What did your performances today tell you about

:03:08. > :03:11.where you are? I am starting to come out of a training block. I was happy

:03:12. > :03:17.with my performances as a whole and I feel I am in a better place.

:03:18. > :03:22.Things were going well in training but unfortunately I could not show

:03:23. > :03:27.that today. Denise is raising her eyebrows. I am not sure I agree with

:03:28. > :03:32.you. I think that long jump was great. It would've been nice to see

:03:33. > :03:36.it earlier on in the competition. When you are working on lots of

:03:37. > :03:41.different things, you're still into a heavy block and have not tapered

:03:42. > :03:46.off, that is back to the old Katarina Johnson-Thompson, it must

:03:47. > :03:50.give you confidence. The long job is weird I need to go away and work on

:03:51. > :03:58.it. I did want to get that in the first three jumps. Because I got

:03:59. > :04:04.that end, I went for that. I was able to get the long jump in the

:04:05. > :04:10.seasons best in the sixth round. Let us have a look at your hurdles. Have

:04:11. > :04:17.you seen it back? Have a look and tell us about your forum. I got left

:04:18. > :04:26.in the blocks. I felt like I was floating up in the air. I was

:04:27. > :04:32.against the world-class athletes. It is not one of my stronger events. I

:04:33. > :04:36.feel like I am happy. You have to put yourself into different --

:04:37. > :04:42.difficult situations to become a better athlete. I feel so much more

:04:43. > :04:47.confident now going back on. That is the worst situation I could have put

:04:48. > :04:52.myself in. Heptathlon hurdles should be a breeze now. I watched you

:04:53. > :04:58.perform. What you said made sense. Heavy block of training but sure

:04:59. > :05:05.rhythm is there. That will come with your timing. As you get sharper, you

:05:06. > :05:08.will get lower and slicker over the barriers. You put yourself under a

:05:09. > :05:13.lot of pressure going into a true world-class field. You did not come

:05:14. > :05:21.out badly. You have learned a lot and you add in a good place,

:05:22. > :05:25.seriously. The long job at 6.75, make sure only the second British

:05:26. > :05:33.athlete to get the qualifying distance if you wanted to compete

:05:34. > :05:43.this year. Talk us through this. You could feel the wind as you were

:05:44. > :05:52.starting to hit this spot. You went on to the board very well. I am

:05:53. > :06:00.surprised. I always feel like I am faster than Outlook. Does help that

:06:01. > :06:06.you are nearly six feet tall? I am happy with that. Normally my feet

:06:07. > :06:12.land apart. I am happy with the long jump. That is a season 's best.

:06:13. > :06:18.Hopefully it can make the difference. Big changes in your life

:06:19. > :06:22.over the last 6-7 months. We have taken two -- taking yourself to

:06:23. > :06:25.France. A new training group and lifestyle. You look like you're

:06:26. > :06:35.enjoying the beauty of where you are. It looks like it has gone

:06:36. > :06:40.smoothly. How has it been for you? It'll never be completely smooth,

:06:41. > :06:44.according to a different country. It was difficult when I did not have an

:06:45. > :06:55.apartment. Everything has started coming together. The coaches

:06:56. > :07:08.understand me more now. How is your French? That is the question that

:07:09. > :07:13.everyone asks me. It is OK. I am doing French lessons now so everyone

:07:14. > :07:18.is happy about that. I do not want to speak to any French journalist

:07:19. > :07:23.because I am not at that level yet. What are the major differences in

:07:24. > :07:28.terms of your training setup. Visit the bulk of training you can do? It

:07:29. > :07:34.is completely different. I am toothing twice per day now. I am

:07:35. > :07:46.away from my family and my dogs. I do not go back to Liverpool which is

:07:47. > :07:53.sad for me. Everything is different. Hopefully it'll work out for me this

:07:54. > :07:59.year. I think what you have seen and heard from Mo, Katarina

:08:00. > :08:03.Johnson-Thompson, British athletics and how athletes operate. It is

:08:04. > :08:07.different. It is about being immersive and finding your way to

:08:08. > :08:11.the results you want. That takes courage, to move from your comfort

:08:12. > :08:24.zone, to immerse yourself in a foreign place. The USA is farther

:08:25. > :08:35.away. Did you take your dogs? I cannot take my dogs. It is the south

:08:36. > :08:40.of France. I live in an apartment. They would never make it up the

:08:41. > :08:49.stairs with the little legs. I have to carry my bicycle up three floors.

:08:50. > :08:54.Thank you for the moment. It is great to see you smiling. Good

:08:55. > :09:00.performance today. We will chat with Steve who is in the commentary box.

:09:01. > :09:04.Today, we set out today stating that there were lots of decisions yet to

:09:05. > :09:07.be made for British athletes in terms of qualification for the World

:09:08. > :09:16.Championship, what is being made clearer for you today? I think CJ

:09:17. > :09:22.did enough to cement his place. It is not good news for Adam Gemili. He

:09:23. > :09:29.might look at the result will fuse in the 200 metres, he could ask for

:09:30. > :09:36.more time. They may not be 100% convinced he has earned the third

:09:37. > :09:40.spot. Guy Learmonth, that was a surprise in the 800 metres. He

:09:41. > :09:46.sneaked through with the time. It reads Kyle Langford in the best

:09:47. > :09:51.place. For Andrew Osagie, running well, but two weeks any role he has

:09:52. > :09:59.been beaten by Kyle Langford. In the criteria, head to head is important.

:10:00. > :10:04.Jake Wightman is OK in the 1500. And Sarah McDonald should get the third

:10:05. > :10:09.spot. I am not a selector. It has become clearer. The other selectors

:10:10. > :10:12.will meet tomorrow and make an announcement on Tuesday. They will

:10:13. > :10:19.be if you place is open until the 24th of July. The million-dollar

:10:20. > :10:25.question, aside from Mo Farah, we should the viewing public expect

:10:26. > :10:31.British medals? Laura Muir, Katarina Johnson-Thompson sitting with you,

:10:32. > :10:36.plenty of medal chances. Mo is a standout in terms of a gold medal

:10:37. > :10:40.opportunity. The really races will be strong. You look at the people

:10:41. > :10:43.that Brendan was seeing a racing game coming into the world

:10:44. > :10:50.Championships. There are some open events. I am not sure about the

:10:51. > :10:55.women's pole vault, it could be tough for Holly. Robbie Grabarz and

:10:56. > :11:03.the high jump. People who can perform on the stage who are ranked

:11:04. > :11:08.7-10 can get into the medals. How many surprises in Brazil last year?

:11:09. > :11:13.I think 5-6 medals would be a good result. Any more than six people

:11:14. > :11:17.have done very well. Thank you very much, Steve. We were topping

:11:18. > :11:24.domestically. The bigger picture. Usain Bolt is going to be having his

:11:25. > :11:28.farewell on the track. And also Mo getting the adulation today. It will

:11:29. > :11:35.be an amazing atmosphere. What kind of shape is he on? For him, it is

:11:36. > :11:48.weird he just wants to be. He is always supping with a bad back and

:11:49. > :11:53.slight injuries. Everybody expects him to have a blistering performance

:11:54. > :11:56.and go sub ten seconds. All he does is pull themselves back into the

:11:57. > :12:01.lead and does enough to cross the line. As you see him go through the

:12:02. > :12:05.rounds in the World Championships, he will progress through and put his

:12:06. > :12:10.foot down in the final. I still favour him for the title. He said

:12:11. > :12:14.after this race, I know what I have to do, I have been here so many

:12:15. > :12:18.times before. If there is anybody that can say that with conviction it

:12:19. > :12:25.is him, and perform on the bigger stage. Are you targeting a medal? Of

:12:26. > :12:32.course. In London, all the British athletes should. That magic can

:12:33. > :12:37.happen. The athlete will come into the stadium, you will hear the crowd

:12:38. > :12:44.this weekend, then anything can happen. Thank you for joining us.

:12:45. > :12:49.Denise, great to see you. Colin as well. We will be back here on Friday

:12:50. > :12:52.the 4th of August for the start of the live coverage of the World

:12:53. > :13:01.Championships. We hope you will join us.

:13:02. > :13:11.COMMENTATOR: Usain Bolt has done it. It is a new British record. It is a

:13:12. > :13:19.mammoth job. A stunning performance. Sophie Hitchon, what an effort. It

:13:20. > :13:27.is going to be Dafne Schippers. That is huge. Johnson-Thompson. David

:13:28. > :13:32.Rudisha is going to win the world title. Beautiful jump. Laura Muir,

:13:33. > :13:48.she has smashed the British record. Mo Farah wins the gold.

:13:49. > :13:53.Join us live, and follow the world's wildest animals...

:13:54. > :14:03...across the most challenging of terrains...

:14:04. > :14:10...as they gather for nature's biggest summer feast.

:14:11. > :14:13.Experience one wild week of adventure.
