Colin Jackson has won his first gold
medal, he is the champion of the | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
world. Athletics supporters are
looking on not just in admiration | 0:00:11 | 0:00:18 | |
but in awe. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
He's the world champion! | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
Welcome to a very wintry Birmingham.
But it's my Birmingham, home to the | 0:00:38 | 0:00:51 | |
Villa, the Blues, the Bears, and the
balti. We have 56, does of water, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:59 | |
the most Michelin-starred
restaurants outside of London and in | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
four years' time we will host the
Commonwealth Games. Birmingham is | 0:01:02 | 0:01:08 | |
also home of British athletics and
we have produced a few decent names | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
down the years.
Denise Lewis is the Olympic | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
champion.
Now the world's best have come to | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
our patch. Four days, 26 gold
medals, come on, let's do this. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:35 | |
Nice one, Denise, and she will tell
us where to find the best balti | 0:01:39 | 0:01:45 | |
later, no doubt. Birmingham like the
rest of the country is freezing now, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
you could say it's perfect weather
for indoor athletics, and in London | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
last summer Britain proves once
again just how good it is at staging | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
global sporting events after the
success of the outdoor World | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
Championships the 2018 World Indoor
Championships comes the second city, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
four days, six sessions all live on
the BBC, and tonight we kick off | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
with three gold medals up for grabs,
we will see the men's and women's | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
high jump, and the women's 3000
metres as Laura Muir challenges for | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
a world medal once more. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:24 | |
a world medal once more. Welcome to
Birmingham. We are glad you are in | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
doors, warm, snuggled up, because we
are going to be with you all weekend | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
and you don't want to go anywhere
else, we have top-class action for | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
you and a truly global field of
talent to unveil over the next few | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
days and those medals, by the way,
were made and designed by local | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
student in a competition and used
some of the iconic buildings of | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
Birmingham in her designs. Denise
Lewis knows them only too well, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
Michael Johnson and Paula Radcliffe
also alongside. Good to have you all | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
back together again. Thank you,
Michael, for bringing in the | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
weather. Is the beast from the East
and you are the best from the West. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
Well done. Well done. Denise, this
is your city, you were born in West | 0:03:04 | 0:03:10 | |
Bromwich and raised in Wolverhampton
but Birmingham is where you learned | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
your trade-in athletics. Absolutely,
weren't learned to become an athlete | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
and learned what athletics is about.
I'm a life member of the Harriers, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
the best club in the Midlands, if I
can say that, but the city means the | 0:03:24 | 0:03:29 | |
world to me. I've watched its
development and it's fantastic to | 0:03:29 | 0:03:36 | |
have these Championships in
Birmingham again. Michael, I know | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
that you didn't run that much in
doors yourself, it wasn't a huge | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
part of your character. -- calendar.
How important is it for 2018 which | 0:03:42 | 0:03:52 | |
has the world record-holder
Christian Coleman. It is important, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
the US wants to continue dominance,
after the fantastic World | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
Championships in London last year.
This is a unique team made up of | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
young up-and-coming talent like
Christian Coleman but on the other | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
end of the spectrum you have old
athletes like Mike Rodgers, who was | 0:04:05 | 0:04:12 | |
here in 2010 and trying to hang on
and spent time going for the outdoor | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
team. Those sort of athletes who
made Dummett try to make the outdoor | 0:04:16 | 0:04:23 | |
teams see it as a chance of getting
a medal. What was it like? After I | 0:04:23 | 0:04:30 | |
broke the world record, I thought,
why continue? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
CHUCKLES
Paula, you didn't run much in doors | 0:04:33 | 0:04:40 | |
focusing on cross-country. The lady
that we will have our eyes on later, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
the woman you will be all over,
Laura Muir, has run cross country | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
this season as well as indoors we
know she hangs sacrificing | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
Commonwealth Games because of her
studies -- she is sacrificing. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
Denied is an important year in her
calendar. Important and very tough, | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
she had to fight to get here, eight
hours in the car yesterday fighting | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
their way down from Scotland and
because of her better replacement | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
she cannot go to the Commonwealth
Games show she is doing 6000 metres | 0:05:09 | 0:05:14 | |
denied and 3000 metres later. It is
a tough ask, there are six serious | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
medal contenders and another three
or four who fancy their chances to | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
get a medal so it's going to be a
tough race. She was double European | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
champion last year in Belgrade. She
knows how to do it on the bigger | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
stages in doors, she is out there
getting a bit of physio ahead of her | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
warm up later. Paula, in the
athletes who run middle distances, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
and longer distances, would normally
go outside to do some running before | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
coming indoors. It's not
particularly safe underfoot this | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
evening, very icy, incredibly cold,
Birmingham has not had as much snow | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
but it's one of the coldest places
in the country now. Will those | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
athletes be able to do what they
normally do outside? They will warm | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
up inside tonight but the shake-out
is this morning that they would have | 0:05:59 | 0:06:05 | |
done it was funny watching because I
watched Konstanze Klosterhalfen, | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
from Germany, she chanced it
outside, and I saw someone else on | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
the treadmill, they have been mixing
it up, some will have used a | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
treadmill and some will not have
done the shake-out at all and come | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
in and erased, that is what I did.
You didn't go out earlier. There is | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
no point shaking out, you need
energy later. We are on the | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
precipice of a new era, after the
World Championships we said goodbye | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
to some big names, Usain Bolt, Mo
Farah, and we have seen British | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
athletics over the last few years
say goodbye to the likes of Jessica | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
Ennis-Hill so we asked you to have a | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
say goodbye to the likes of Jessica
Ennis-Hill so we asked you to have a | 0:06:43 | 0:06:43 | |
look at the field this weekend and
point out some names for us, and all | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
of our commentators and pundits, to
have a look at some names that not | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
necessarily will be winning here but
names we may see a lot more of in | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
recent, coming years. Tellers about
your choice, Michael. He is a | 0:06:54 | 0:07:01 | |
fantastic athlete, my coaches have
been working with him, Bingtian Su, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:08 | |
he has a unique ability, very good
at the start because of the amount | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
of power you can display to win in
the angular position coming out. His | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
problem is once he gets into his
running he cannot continue the same | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
power so he is not a great as 100
metres, but he's great at 60-metre | 0:07:19 | 0:07:25 | |
indoor running so this is a
fantastic opportunity, he has the | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
second-fastest time coming into the
championship behind Christian | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
Coleman. From Great Britain Richard
Kilty, a former world champion at 60 | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
metres, but never transferred that
global success in the longer 100 | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
metres. There are certain events
that suit athletes more indoors and | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
they never can translate outdoors
and over the 60 metres Bingtian Su | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
is a great example. He is, you will
see 60-metre hurdlers who can be | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
fantastic at the start. The 100
metres, you do not think | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
fantastic at the start. The 100
metres, you do not think of it as | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
endurance but it is about sustaining
speed and he has a problem and some | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
of the other athletes have a problem
doing that and when they are | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
fantastic starters they can take
advantage of it indoors. Paula, tell | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
us about your choice. Adam Kszczot.
He is already well-known. He has won | 0:08:09 | 0:08:18 | |
indoors before but it's the step up
he has made this year. He is more at | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
home racing indoors, he is a class
apart, unbeaten coming into this, | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
became a father at the end of last
year so maybe that has going relaxed | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
and running happy but I think he
will be tough to be here. He is a | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
master tactician. The Polish
athletes tend to be good at racing | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
indoors but it's indicative of the
weather here. I bumped into him this | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
morning and he said it's too cold,
if the Polish are saying it's cold | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
it must be cold! Denise, you have
gone Swiss. I have, I young lady who | 0:08:46 | 0:08:56 | |
is the Swiss record-holder in the
100 and 200 metres but recently she | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
has improved her 60 metres
phenomenally, ran well, 7.03, and | 0:09:00 | 0:09:07 | |
second on the world list going into
these championships. We have seen | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
her before in 2014 at the European
Championships. In front of a home | 0:09:11 | 0:09:17 | |
crowd. Inspired run, over the 100
and 200 but this year she has made | 0:09:17 | 0:09:24 | |
the transition and it is a smoking
60 metres runner she has put | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
together and if she can hold her
form and home nerve in a very | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
competitive 60 metres she could do
well and we might see her later in | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
the year in the European
Championships. Thank you, guys. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
Let's look at the evening and how it
pans out, just three events, the | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
men's high jump and women's high
jump competitions running | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
simultaneously, of | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
simultaneously, of course Esser
Barshim and Robbie Grabarz. In the | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
women's high jump the lady who is
dominant in the field has won her | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
last 37 competitions. And Morgan
Lake. And Laura Muir and Eilish | 0:10:04 | 0:10:14 | |
McColgan it, with current world
champion indoors over 3000 metres | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
Genzebe Dibaba. We have a good night
on the first night. The height of | 0:10:18 | 0:10:24 | |
competition, running at the moment
with the men and women jumping at | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
the same time, an unusual way to do
it. Steve Backley can tell us how it | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
is going. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:33 | |
it. Steve Backley can tell us how it
is going. COMMENTATOR: Good evening, | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
here are the jumpers, the women's
high jump jumping back-to-back. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:44 | |
Authorised neutral athlete cleared
to jump here. The defending champion | 0:10:44 | 0:10:49 | |
Morgan Lake of the back of her
season's best last weekend, so | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
high-class, absolute top drawer as
you'd expect. At a world indoors, | 0:10:54 | 0:10:59 | |
unusual configuration. Medals on
offer this evening, and here is a | 0:10:59 | 0:11:08 | |
look back at a wobbly start for
Morgan Lake. 1.84. She jumped 1.92 | 0:11:08 | 0:11:17 | |
last weekend as a season's best but
put herself under pressure. She | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
ended up way underneath the first
one underneath the bar, over | 0:11:22 | 0:11:28 | |
striding, so this was her second
attempt and it was also a bit of a | 0:11:28 | 0:11:33 | |
mess, so three jumps, just to remind
you, 3000, you are out. Morgan Lake | 0:11:33 | 0:11:41 | |
put herself under massive pressure
with those two fouls at the opening | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
night. All other athletes either
clear passing. Morgan Lake was | 0:11:44 | 0:11:50 | |
forced to take her third attempt at
the opening height. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:59 | |
the opening height. So, 1.84 to stay
involved. It was a deliberate effort | 0:12:00 | 0:12:05 | |
but a good one, and showing some
real nerves of steel to control | 0:12:05 | 0:12:12 | |
that. The shake of the head, she is
not happy, it's not the start she | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
would have wanted but she still
involved. And so it would be a five | 0:12:16 | 0:12:23 | |
centimetre increase to the second
height of 1.89, still within what we | 0:12:23 | 0:12:28 | |
know she is capable of in her recent
form. Her first attempt was a much | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
better one. Daylight between her and
the bar and that's just what she | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
would have needed to settle the
nerves. It is a nervy start, I can | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
only put it down to that. That's
exactly what she would have wanted | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
at the second height. So, relaxing
between jumps. The nerves hopefully | 0:12:45 | 0:12:53 | |
have been settled. 1.89 first-time
clearance for Morgan Lake. And as | 0:12:53 | 0:13:00 | |
you can see those two high jump
competitions starting simultaneously | 0:13:00 | 0:13:06 | |
at the top of the screen. The main
man from Qatar, the champion from | 0:13:06 | 0:13:13 | |
2017. Erik Kynard, the man who
shared a rostrum with the last | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
athlete to jump, Robbie Grabarz on
the 2012 rostrum. Lots has happened | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
since. But it was also a bit of a
wobbly start for a Robbie Grabarz | 0:13:21 | 0:13:29 | |
because he carried a foul also at
his opening height of 2.20. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:38 | |
And that put him in exactly the same
position as Morgan Lake found | 0:13:38 | 0:13:44 | |
herself in at those opening heights.
He trains in Birmingham, he is a | 0:13:44 | 0:13:52 | |
local lad, loss of expectation and
he has friends in the audience. So, | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
opening height, pressure on. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:03 | |
And he rose to the occasion as you
would expect. And hoped, at least. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:17 | |
A wobbly start for the British high
jumpers there. We talked about the | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
difference for certain events and
how different it feels indoors. It's | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
more compact tanned it's two laps
for 400 metres. There by definition | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
the infield is a lot smaller. I said
to you before, didn't I, it looks a | 0:14:36 | 0:14:43 | |
bit odd, as if they are running up
the lanes to the high jump. It | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
seemed like Morgan Lake hadn't quite
worked out where she was running for | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
those first two? I think it was very
unsettling. We don't see the two | 0:14:52 | 0:14:59 | |
high jump beds facing each other
most. Women are facing where the men | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
are jumping, the men facing the
women. That is unusual. They are | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
simultaneously side by side. I just
think both of them really were | 0:15:07 | 0:15:12 | |
unsettled and nervous. Sometimes the
opening height is within your | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
capabilities there is an airport of
complacency. I don't think they were | 0:15:16 | 0:15:23 | |
attacking their run up enough.
Thankfully they live to fight for | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
the next height. Let us hope they
stay in a lot lunger. Laura Muir | 0:15:27 | 0:15:34 | |
will take to the track for the 3,000
metre, not going to the Commonwealth | 0:15:34 | 0:15:40 | |
Games, she has exams in May. She
sacrificed that. These Championships | 0:15:40 | 0:15:48 | |
are important in her calendar year.
She is balancing it all with her | 0:15:48 | 0:15:57 | |
studies, and found time toll chat to
our reporter. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:04 | |
COMMENTATOR: A historic double at
the European Indoor Championships. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
Two Gold medals, the Champion again,
another record. Double gold in the | 0:16:11 | 0:16:16 | |
Open Indoors, brilliant for me. It
gave me big confidence boost. To set | 0:16:16 | 0:16:22 | |
two Championship records and a
British record at the same time that | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
was the boost I needed to know I can
come away with these medals. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:34 | |
COMMENTATOR: It will be the Olympic
champion. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:40 | |
Laura Muir was so close and when you
have the medal snatched away from | 0:16:44 | 0:16:49 | |
you in the latter stages, it's gut
wrenching. Having a home World | 0:16:49 | 0:16:55 | |
Championships in that stadium was
amazing. Attapatu moss fear is | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
brilliant. I got to both finals of
1500 and the 5K and gave it | 0:16:58 | 0:17:04 | |
everything I could. I'm proud of how
I ran. It was just one of those | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
things. I went from being second to
fourth in the 1500. It was hard. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
Just being so, so close. It was a
great experience. I learnt a lot. At | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
the same time just missing out on
that medal. I hope to rectify that | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
here. You will be competitive, what
does that mean is a medal you are | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
targeting? I think so. It will be
tough for the athletes who have | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
confirmed. It will be a tough field.
The currented world record holder | 0:17:31 | 0:17:39 | |
the world indoor champion in 1500.
It will be very tough. Dibaba's in | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
good form. She will be a very big
contend are for me. I think I can | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
take her on. When you hit the front
that is it. You are gone. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:52 | |
Championship racing is different.
It's tactical. Can there ever be a | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
balance where you think - I'm in
good enough shape, strong enough to | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
take it from the front? There comes
a point when you think you might be | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
strong enough to take it on. Other
times people can match on and use | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
you. You do the work and they sit on
you and you are the pacer | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
effectively. It's difficult to judge
it and how you can look at things. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
Closer to the time we will have a
look at the race, decide who is | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
running, who is likely and in what
shape and what shape I'm in and how | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
best to judge it. Is there like a
baton being passed to you younger | 0:18:22 | 0:18:29 | |
guys with Mo Farah stepping away. A
unyoer generation coming through you | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
are part of the figurehead of? Yeah.
I think I was lucky I have competed | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
on teams with the likes of K much
Jess a few times. Having them | 0:18:36 | 0:18:44 | |
inspires you a lot and gives you
confidence knowing you are competing | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
alongside the people in the team
that are amazing athletes. Younger | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
people on the team and hopefully I
can give them pointersnd here and | 0:18:51 | 0:18:57 | |
there and help them out if need be.
It's big Championships, if I can be | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
there to support them, that would be
We talked about good. The fact she | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
arrived late last night because of
the weather and she was at a lecture | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
yesterday morning for her veterinary
studies. Doing incredibly well to | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
balance and juggle the different
demands in her life thus far. At the | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
end of this academic year it will be
athletics all the way. You can | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
understand her having to sacrifice
the Commonwealth Games? I completely | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
understand. She wants to be a
success in every area of her life. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
Is her final chance. Her only chance
at her studies. She wants to get it | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
right. Wants to do it as well as she
can there. Then she will be able to | 0:19:32 | 0:19:37 | |
concentrate on-the-running which we
hope will carry on for a good few | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
years and be medal hopes. It won't
have been easy to say no to | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
competing for Scotland in the
Commonwealth Games. Taking one day | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
off her studies, today, no,
tomorrow. Two-days off. Anything | 0:19:50 | 0:19:57 | |
like my kids, probably your kids,
all the schools seem to be shut | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
tomorrow. I don't think her lectures
will be on. She hiked in through the | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
snow yesterday morning to that
lecture before being able to leave | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
and sit for eight hours fighting her
way down. . She tweeted at 11.00pm | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
when she arrived to the hotel huge
thanks to the driver or they | 0:20:14 | 0:20:20 | |
wouldn't have made it here. For some
athletes it works to turn off the | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
pressure of athletics almost and
focus on something as benign as | 0:20:23 | 0:20:28 | |
veterinary studies! It's a tough
degree to be doing anyway. To go | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
back to her sport and really enjoy
it? I think it would work for this | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
year. When you get back into World
Championships and Olympic years, as | 0:20:36 | 0:20:42 | |
she is getting closer to out door
world level medals you have to... | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
The sport takes everything that you
have. You can't do both. I think | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
this has to be... This is the last
year she will be able to do that. . | 0:20:50 | 0:20:55 | |
She has achieved incredible things
already with all of that going on in | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
her life. She's been fantastic
double gold in Belgrade last year. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:04 | |
Which set her up for the out doors
as well. Dominated the field there? | 0:21:04 | 0:21:11 | |
It's a totally different playing
field for her tonight. The level of | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
competition she is facing is clearly
head and shoulders above that which | 0:21:15 | 0:21:22 | |
she faced in Belgrade. She is maybe
not quite in the shape she was there | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
because she has been managing that
and managing that energy really | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
well. . Hasn't raced as well as she
has done in the build-up, as well as | 0:21:28 | 0:21:33 | |
she did in the bellup to #3we8
grade. Let us not heap too much on | 0:21:33 | 0:21:39 | |
her. She will go out and give it her
everything tonight. -- build-up. Let | 0:21:39 | 0:21:46 | |
us join the High Jump competition.
Is Robbie Grabarz took silver in the | 0:21:46 | 0:21:59 | |
European indoors. Here at the world
indoors he has to go clear to | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
European indoors. Here at the world
indoors he has to go clear to stay | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
involved. The bar, second height of
2.25 centimetres. If you have just | 0:22:05 | 0:22:13 | |
joined us, he did salvage a wobbly
start with a clearance of 2.20. That | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
was his opening height. He's in
exactly the same position here. I | 0:22:17 | 0:22:26 | |
will bring in Toni Minichiello, the
coach is looking on. What can the | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
coach do here or what should Robbie
do here? I think it's how Robbie is | 0:22:29 | 0:22:35 | |
running on-the-runway for me. His
inside shoulder, right shoulder, he | 0:22:35 | 0:22:40 | |
is straight. Ing up and going into
the bar. That is taking the bar off. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
We saw the third attempt. He put the
energy in. Robbie Grabarz, 2.25 to | 0:22:43 | 0:22:49 | |
stay involved. Too much tonight.
Well... Really slowed down. In doing | 0:22:49 | 0:22:58 | |
that, typical of what a lot of high
jumpers do, they slow down to work | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
strong. As soon as you lose the
speed you won't get in the air, | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
unfortunately. A bit sad there
really going out on that third | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
attempt. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:16 | |
attempt. Three fouls and Robbie
Grabarz, one of a handful of hopes | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
for medals here in Birmingham, is
done. He will play no further part. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 | |
Let us look at this, Toni. He's
driving out strong. You can see it | 0:23:25 | 0:23:35 | |
rock around a little bit. Not smooth
in terms of that. I think that's the | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
tough thing. For the first time at
this championships you are seeing a | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
straight final. There is a
qualifying and you look at the | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
runway and feel the floor and
understand it better. A bit tough | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
there. We know he had injuries this
winter. He is a master of coming | 0:23:51 | 0:23:56 | |
back and being short on preparation
again we thought he would be able to | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
handle it. Finding his groove, he
wasn't able to do it on this | 0:24:00 | 0:24:05 | |
occasion. His rhythm was out for me
and never got settled. Unfortunately | 0:24:05 | 0:24:12 | |
for Robbie, it's all over. Real
class competition as well. He would | 0:24:12 | 0:24:18 | |
have to be at his very best to stay
involved and get into the medals | 0:24:18 | 0:24:24 | |
here because of Mutaz Barshim. Here
he is in fact. The Qatari world | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
leader. Jumped 2.38 to take the
title a couple of weeks ago. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:38 | |
Suffered a rare defeat. Barshim,
hugely capable when he gets it | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
right. Champion last summer in
London. He has jumped 2.40 on a | 0:24:42 | 0:24:50 | |
number of occasions. Barshim. 2.29.
Wow! He defies gravity. Incredible. | 0:24:50 | 0:25:00 | |
Much smoother runway. Much smoother.
Runs in. 2.29, to a man who jumped | 0:25:00 | 0:25:08 | |
in the 2.40s, this is easy for him.
Early days. He make it look so easy. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:13 | |
What is he doing different? He
floats in. He has pop. He can get | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
off the ground. He can get in the
air. He takes off a bit far away | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
from the bar for me, but when he
elevates he goes up. No pleasing | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
some people, is there! Mutaz Essa
Barshim has got pop. Erik Kynard, a | 0:25:25 | 0:25:32 | |
man who enjoys a rostrum,
silver-medallist from 2012. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:37 | |
27-year-old American. No pop. He
puts in a little stutter step about | 0:25:37 | 0:25:44 | |
three steps away from the bar. Heel
straightens up. That shortening, | 0:25:44 | 0:25:50 | |
straightens up his body so he is
upright. You need to lean as you | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
come round. That gives you the
rotational force and you convert | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
that to lift at take-off. To the
women's on the opposite side. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:09 | |
Michaela Hruba getting ready for her
third attempt here at 1.89 to stay | 0:26:09 | 0:26:15 | |
involved. Not that time, not that
time. She was under pressure. . Saw | 0:26:15 | 0:26:22 | |
her stop her runway, go back and
start again. This year there is a | 0:26:22 | 0:26:29 | |
new rule, 30 seconds to start your
attempt. Whether it affects the | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
athletes, they know the clock is
ticking this year quicker than it | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
was previously. The height of 2.29.
Only Barshim to go clear so far at | 0:26:38 | 0:26:45 | |
this new height. Starting to sort
out the athletes in form. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:54 | |
out the athletes in form. We look
across to the mirror image as we | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
look down into the stadium. Iryna
Gerashchenko of the Ukraine. 22ers | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
ya of age. Wow, that's a... Not even
close there. Athletes struggling. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:13 | |
It's a slightly unusual orientation.
We speculated about the view through | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
to the other high jump mat and
whether that might affect the | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
ability to focus of what's in front
of you. No excuses. It's the same | 0:27:20 | 0:27:27 | |
for all. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:34 | |
for all. We see Mateusz Przybylko
get ready. The German champion, | 0:27:35 | 0:27:41 | |
Przybylko. 25 years of age. Fifth in
London last year. Took all three | 0:27:41 | 0:27:48 | |
jumps at that previous height. 2.29
to join Barshim. No, not that time. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:57 | |
He just doesn't run enough of a
curve, goes down a little bit deep. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
Ends up being more like a corner
than anything else for the German | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
there. That's difficult. Levern
Spencer in the Women's High Jump. We | 0:28:05 | 0:28:15 | |
look forward to seeing her Down
Under. Wow, really sloppy jumps | 0:28:15 | 0:28:20 | |
here, Toni. I don't know what to
make of it. The last successful jump | 0:28:20 | 0:28:25 | |
was of Mutaz Barshim. We have seen
six fouls since then. Spencer, | 0:28:25 | 0:28:31 | |
highly fancied to challenge for the
medals, 33 years of age. Jumped 1.95 | 0:28:31 | 0:28:37 | |
this year is out. Here's a man in
the form of his life, Danil Lysenko. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:47 | |
That's a lovely jump, isn't it?
That's the pop I'm talking about. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:52 | |
Puts his foot down quickly, comes
off quickly and goes straight up in | 0:28:52 | 0:28:55 | |
the air. | 0:28:55 | 0:29:00 | |
the air. Silver-medallist to Barshim
last year and highly fancied to push | 0:29:00 | 0:29:06 | |
the Qatari athlete all the way.
Lysenko looking really competent. We | 0:29:06 | 0:29:12 | |
switch our attention back to
McPherson of the United States. Oh, | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
crikey. Not at all happy with those
three fouls. Another athlete | 0:29:16 | 0:29:22 | |
struggling. McPherson. 1.91 her
season's best. Experienced athlete. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:33 | |
So looks like the medals might go a
little softer than we anticipated. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:41 | |
Kynard to stay involved. A skip and
correction there. We are seeing | 0:29:41 | 0:29:44 | |
that. It needs to be smooth so the
acceleration there can be used for | 0:29:44 | 0:29:49 | |
the jumps. Smooth acceleration. When
you put that skip in, it slows you | 0:29:49 | 0:29:54 | |
down that little bit. Two fouls for
Kynard, but he's still in third | 0:29:54 | 0:30:01 | |
place, amazingly. Yorgelis Rodriguez
also competing in the pentathlon. We | 0:30:01 | 0:30:10 | |
hope to see Thompson there, it
starts tomorrow morning. Busy few | 0:30:10 | 0:30:16 | |
days for the Cuban 23-year-old. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:22 | |
It has been difficult, out of 11 men
that started the competition six | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
have gone out and in the women's
competition, I calculate six out of | 0:30:26 | 0:30:31 | |
13 competitors have gone out. I
think they are struggling with the | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
floor, maybe. Maybe the floor is a
bit soft and not giving them the | 0:30:35 | 0:30:40 | |
return of energy that you would
want. But, yeah... Sylwester | 0:30:40 | 0:30:45 | |
Bednarek of Poland. No, another man
who is capable. He's jumped 2.33 | 0:30:45 | 0:30:52 | |
this year. I don't know what to make
of this, the bar is at 2.29 and he | 0:30:52 | 0:30:57 | |
is left wanting. When you see
somebody like Barshim, Lysenko | 0:30:57 | 0:31:03 | |
popping over with daylight, there
cannot be that much of a problem, | 0:31:03 | 0:31:08 | |
can there? No, you are looking at
two superbly confident and quality | 0:31:08 | 0:31:13 | |
athletes who, regardless of the
service or anything like that, they | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
are always going to jump high --
regardless of the surface. One | 0:31:16 | 0:31:22 | |
athlete still involved is Morgan
Lake. Will look forward to seeing | 0:31:22 | 0:31:29 | |
how her event progresses. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:33 | |
Lake. Will look forward to seeing
how her event progresses. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:34 | |
STUDIO: Disappointing to see Robbie
Grabarz go out so soon in this | 0:31:34 | 0:31:39 | |
competition. Welcome, Colin Jackson,
and happy St David's Day. Thank you. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:45 | |
What is going on? It is not just
Robbie, high-class high jumpers are | 0:31:45 | 0:31:49 | |
struggling at the minute. It is not
good out there by the looks of it, I | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
don't know what is with the
failures. I don't know. Sometimes | 0:31:53 | 0:31:58 | |
athletes come to the championships
and I'm not saying they are not best | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
prepared but they haven't prepared
specifically for this Championships, | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
and it mats sound odd to say but
lots of people do the World | 0:32:04 | 0:32:09 | |
Championships with their focus still
on the outdoors so they are in very | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
heavy training, they might have
tapered off a little bit so they are | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
not very snappy. The high jumpers
don't look like they have that zing, | 0:32:16 | 0:32:23 | |
Tony Minichiello talked about the
pop. They look lacklustre. Robbie | 0:32:23 | 0:32:29 | |
the same and hopefully Morgan will
improve. That's not Robbie, Robbie | 0:32:29 | 0:32:33 | |
is usually so dynamic. I think he
got one of the host spots, both him | 0:32:33 | 0:32:38 | |
and Morgan had the host places here
so they might not have been in the | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
best shape coming into the
Championships. We saw Morgan last | 0:32:42 | 0:32:47 | |
week in Glasgow jump 1.92, and she
got close to 1.95 and looks like she | 0:32:47 | 0:32:52 | |
was clearing it at her final attempt
and looked in decent shape. It is | 0:32:52 | 0:32:58 | |
interesting coming to the major
championships with what has happened | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
in between and sometimes you can
rest a bit too much, you have to get | 0:33:02 | 0:33:05 | |
used to the surface again.
Everything is very different than | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
what they normally are used to. They
are jumping against each other in | 0:33:09 | 0:33:15 | |
that sense, at each other, it's
interesting the whole dynamic for | 0:33:15 | 0:33:19 | |
this high jump. It doesn't take much
for the athlete's mind to get | 0:33:19 | 0:33:24 | |
unsettled. I know these are the
world's best but it doesn't take | 0:33:24 | 0:33:28 | |
much for them to be out of sorts. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
Let's hope Morgan is back in sorts. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:40 | |
Let's hope Morgan is back in sorts.
At edge Morgan will look at this as | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
an opportunity as we see the world
indoor champion Vashti Cunningham, | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
the youngest ever, make a | 0:33:46 | 0:33:53 | |
the youngest ever, make a mess of...
Sorry, that was 1.93, this is the | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
new height as we see the fowl of
Cunningham. There is an insight of | 0:33:57 | 0:34:01 | |
an athlete who has jumped 1.97 this
year. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:08 | |
year. Randall Cunningham,
quarterback, famous man on the right | 0:34:10 | 0:34:14 | |
of the screen in the United States.
So then, Morgan Lake. Three jumps at | 0:34:14 | 0:34:21 | |
the opening height, a clean
first-time clearance of 1.89, the | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
new height 1.9 three, one centimetre
higher than her best so far. Great | 0:34:24 | 0:34:30 | |
Britain's Morgan Lake strides out
first attempt at the new height. But | 0:34:30 | 0:34:36 | |
nowhere near, Tony. Didn't start the
run-up in the same way. Veolia | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
heights she cleared she drove out
the back and ran quickly out of the | 0:34:40 | 0:34:44 | |
back and that sets up the speed. --
the early heights. Start your run-up | 0:34:44 | 0:34:50 | |
and beat vigorous out of the run-up,
that sets up the speed for me. If | 0:34:50 | 0:34:55 | |
she clears this height the medals
are up for grabs, if you clear the | 0:34:55 | 0:34:59 | |
site with the way people are jumping
she has every chance. Only one | 0:34:59 | 0:35:04 | |
athlete clear so far at this height,
foul at the first time of asking for | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
Morgan Lake but no one else has gone
clear so there is still an | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
opportunity here at this height to
get amongst the medals. We probably | 0:35:11 | 0:35:15 | |
wouldn't have speculated that would
be the case but here we are, and | 0:35:15 | 0:35:19 | |
Morgan Lake as you say, Tony,
completely agree, there is an | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
opportunity. Maria Lasitskene, the
undisputed world leader, dominant, | 0:35:22 | 0:35:31 | |
seven centimetres higher than
anyone, 2.04 is how good she is. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:36 | |
That's interesting, 1.93, she gave
it a wobble. She did but did you see | 0:35:36 | 0:35:43 | |
how she attacked it? She runs at the
bar and develops the speed and uses | 0:35:43 | 0:35:47 | |
it and she can convert that into a
lift and that's the important thing, | 0:35:47 | 0:35:50 | |
you don't want to slow down going
into the bar because that's | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
difficult. From one world champion
to another. From Lasitskene to | 0:35:53 | 0:36:03 | |
Barshim. Very impressive at the
previous height of 2.29. 2.33 also | 0:36:03 | 0:36:11 | |
well within the height we knew he
was capable of. He's jumped 2.38 | 0:36:11 | 0:36:17 | |
this year. He's certainly living up
to his billing. I think so. There is | 0:36:17 | 0:36:26 | |
three big men in this competition
who could challenge for the medals | 0:36:26 | 0:36:30 | |
here, Barshim being one, Lysenko
being the other and Cunard, for me, | 0:36:30 | 0:36:36 | |
I think, and here he is. -- Erik
Kynard. Erik Kynard successful at | 0:36:36 | 0:36:45 | |
the third attempt of 2.29. And in
fourth place, new high of 2.33. Same | 0:36:45 | 0:36:54 | |
skip. That is in there, isn't it?
That his rhythm and his run-up and | 0:36:54 | 0:37:02 | |
that's not going to change but I
think that's changing his position. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
You've got to stay away from it, Lee
Nguyen, the short step puts his | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
shoulders on top of his feet meaning
he is upright which will always take | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
him into the bar. At that point the
only thing you can do is you have to | 0:37:13 | 0:37:18 | |
work the vertical very hard. The
inside leg closest to the high jump | 0:37:18 | 0:37:21 | |
bar, you got to work it and get it
high in the air. So it looks as | 0:37:21 | 0:37:28 | |
though it's going exactly as was
forecast in the men's version, at | 0:37:28 | 0:37:35 | |
least. Lysenko, this man is looking
as though he's going to make it a | 0:37:35 | 0:37:40 | |
two horse race with Barshim of
Qatar. Cleared to complete, compete | 0:37:40 | 0:37:49 | |
here, as a handful of Russians are
able to compete here at the World | 0:37:49 | 0:37:54 | |
Indoor Championships. Lysenko has a
clean sheet so far. Can he continue | 0:37:54 | 0:37:59 | |
it? Yes, he can, with a useful sort
my word, he jumps straight into the | 0:37:59 | 0:38:04 | |
air, he is a little front on if you
want to be picky on it but look at | 0:38:04 | 0:38:08 | |
the height he gets. This is going to
be an interesting competition, the | 0:38:08 | 0:38:13 | |
next couple of heights between those
two. So, perfect sheet so far for | 0:38:13 | 0:38:19 | |
Danil Lysenko. Vashti Cunningham.
One foul so far at this height of | 0:38:19 | 0:38:32 | |
1.93 metres. Maria Lasitskene has
gone clear, the only athlete to have | 0:38:32 | 0:38:39 | |
done so. Cahalane, 1.93. That's
nice. A very nice. -- Cunningham. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:47 | |
Not quite the perfect card there,
but runs in well, and again UCC runs | 0:38:47 | 0:38:57 | |
in, little two step rhythm into it
but it's great jumping at these | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
heights. -- you see she runs in. She
is the world indoor champion from | 0:39:00 | 0:39:08 | |
two years ago, very experienced,
same age as Morgan Lake. So then, | 0:39:08 | 0:39:16 | |
Morgan Lake. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:23 | |
Lake looking to find a rhythm.
Fouled at the first chance to clear | 0:39:27 | 0:39:34 | |
this new height of 1.93. Two
athletes, Lasitskene on the first | 0:39:34 | 0:39:41 | |
time of asking and Cunningham we
have seen just go clear. All eyes | 0:39:41 | 0:39:45 | |
turn to Morgan Lake. Can she join
those two athletes? You would have | 0:39:45 | 0:39:52 | |
to say that this is a chance of a
medal, outside chance. The way | 0:39:52 | 0:39:56 | |
people are jumping, I think jumping
this now, season's best, she's going | 0:39:56 | 0:40:02 | |
through the ritual, thinking she
needs to be shoulder high on the | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
inside. She knows they follow card
closely. Morgan Lake then, 1.93, I | 0:40:06 | 0:40:14 | |
is up at the bar, strides out,
aggressive, she accelerated this | 0:40:14 | 0:40:19 | |
time and it's good! Grey clearance
from Morgan Lake, only the third | 0:40:19 | 0:40:23 | |
athlete to have gone clear at the
second time of asking. Brilliant | 0:40:23 | 0:40:28 | |
competitive effort. That's
brilliant. Very positive at the | 0:40:28 | 0:40:34 | |
start of the run-up, set up the
speed and maintained it more. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:40 | |
Excellent. She leans away, something
she seldom does, and goes up. If she | 0:40:40 | 0:40:46 | |
has a fault it is that she doesn't
lean enough really. Speed and lean | 0:40:46 | 0:40:51 | |
away from the bar. Well done, that
could be a medal winning jump. She | 0:40:51 | 0:40:55 | |
almost needed those three wobbly
starting jumps to settle her nerves. | 0:40:55 | 0:41:00 | |
That is a much more competent
clearance for Great Britain's Morgan | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
Lake. It is early to start talking
medals but at the moment she is in | 0:41:03 | 0:41:08 | |
third place. 1.93 at the second time
of asking, season's best. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:14 | |
third place. 1.93 at the second time
of asking, season's best. Great | 0:41:14 | 0:41:15 | |
stuff. STUDIO: She is very happy
with that. This is the heptathlete | 0:41:15 | 0:41:19 | |
focusing on high jump for the last
season and a half and really putting | 0:41:19 | 0:41:23 | |
her efforts into this and it is
starting to bear fruit. You can see | 0:41:23 | 0:41:28 | |
the way she mentally shifted herself
in the competition with the wobbly | 0:41:28 | 0:41:31 | |
stats. In the past she would have
let that get to her but she turned | 0:41:31 | 0:41:35 | |
things round. She turned things
round very well indeed. What I'd | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
like to see from her is not starting
with her long tights on because I | 0:41:38 | 0:41:42 | |
think she uses that as a sort of,
OK, I'm still going through the | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |
motions as opposed to saying, I am
here to do business and there is a | 0:41:46 | 0:41:50 | |
realistic chance of a | 0:41:50 | 0:41:57 | |
realistic chance of a medal for me
if I get my clearances in early. And | 0:41:57 | 0:41:59 | |
then you see when she has those
wobbles then she takes off her | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
tights. I think mentally she needs
to just get in there very early on | 0:42:02 | 0:42:05 | |
from the get go. Establish the
run-up, it says to her she needs to | 0:42:05 | 0:42:10 | |
increase her speed because athletes
strip off kit and get ready for | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
business but she leaves her tights
on. It's a small thing but it's a | 0:42:13 | 0:42:18 | |
fundamental thing. You are shaking
your head in agreement, Michael. I | 0:42:18 | 0:42:21 | |
didn't notice until you mentioned
that but there is a mindset and you | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
have to go into this, remembering
with this particular championship | 0:42:24 | 0:42:28 | |
the high jumpers didn't have a
preliminary round so getting used to | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
the chat, getting used to the new
setup, they didn't have the | 0:42:31 | 0:42:35 | |
opportunity to do it. You don't want
to carry the same mindset from your | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
warm up into competition, and there
are some small things that you might | 0:42:38 | 0:42:42 | |
not think will be so significant and
that will affect your mindset, and | 0:42:42 | 0:42:45 | |
that could very well be one of them.
And quickly, the same thing on the | 0:42:45 | 0:42:51 | |
mindset, the way she is Bridget when
she qualified, it wasn't excitement, | 0:42:51 | 0:42:55 | |
it is, right, I'm back in the game
and that is a positive mindset to be | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |
in. Not celebrating early, she is
there. Let's get back outside | 0:42:59 | 0:43:06 | |
because that was obviously positive
news in terms of a medal for Morgan | 0:43:06 | 0:43:10 | |
Lake. Steve. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:11 | |
news in terms of a medal for Morgan
Lake. Steve. COMMENTATOR: As will a | 0:43:11 | 0:43:13 | |
catalyst trust of Italy, a chance to
equal Morgan Lake, and does. She is | 0:43:13 | 0:43:22 | |
delighted with that. And so she
should be. That puts her equal with | 0:43:22 | 0:43:29 | |
the Brit with a second time
clearance of 1.93. Let's have a look | 0:43:29 | 0:43:35 | |
at this. That's just effort. You see
people, you know how much it means | 0:43:35 | 0:43:43 | |
to them, they know how much they
need to do and UCF it, somebody | 0:43:43 | 0:43:47 | |
raises their game, full force on the
floor, drive in and get up in the | 0:43:47 | 0:43:51 | |
air. That is a good competitive jump
and what you want to be seeing. -- | 0:43:51 | 0:43:57 | |
and you see it. Here is a very
capable high jumper, Yuliya | 0:43:57 | 0:44:04 | |
Levchenko, second on the world lists
with 1.97. Silver-medallist last | 0:44:04 | 0:44:12 | |
summer. Seven, Lepchenko, off a foul
on the second attempt. No! She got | 0:44:12 | 0:44:21 | |
that completely wrong. That's
pressure. I think that's pressure. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:29 | |
You are in fifth, you have won
medals at the World Outdoor | 0:44:29 | 0:44:33 | |
Championships and you know you are
somebody who should be in the top | 0:44:33 | 0:44:35 | |
three, its pressure. Pressure for
Erik Kynard of the United States, | 0:44:35 | 0:44:40 | |
two fouls, 2.33, can he handle the
pressure? No, that's a surprise. He | 0:44:40 | 0:44:48 | |
finishes in fourth place. He's
ripped his number off and he knows | 0:44:48 | 0:44:51 | |
he has not done himself justice
today in this competition. He is | 0:44:51 | 0:44:56 | |
outside, he is in fourth, little
shrug to his coach and he will be | 0:44:56 | 0:45:02 | |
disappointed with that. It is tough
for the Americans, they had their | 0:45:02 | 0:45:05 | |
trials two weeks ago in Albuquerque
and then they have to fly to | 0:45:05 | 0:45:08 | |
Britain, you've got jet lag to deal
with and the American trial system, | 0:45:08 | 0:45:12 | |
the first three across the line, is
a tough competition so you have a | 0:45:12 | 0:45:17 | |
tough competition two weeks ago and
then to come here and raise your | 0:45:17 | 0:45:20 | |
game further is a difficult mindset
to deliver, I think. | 0:45:20 | 0:45:27 | |
It's all about mind-set when you
come to a championships that is what | 0:45:27 | 0:45:33 | |
many athletes love about the
competition that a championship | 0:45:33 | 0:45:36 | |
brings. A difficult mentality to
competing on the circuit, as it | 0:45:36 | 0:45:40 | |
were. Back to the women's side of
this arena here in Birmingham. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:47 | |
Demireva carries two fouls.
Surprised she hasn't passed here and | 0:45:47 | 0:45:52 | |
maybe looked at the next height.
She's in sixth place. The only | 0:45:52 | 0:45:55 | |
athlete at this height who is
carrying two fouls. You could argue | 0:45:55 | 0:45:59 | |
she may could have had a look at the
next height. Probably won't get her | 0:45:59 | 0:46:04 | |
into the medals. Won't at this
height. She will have to clear a | 0:46:04 | 0:46:09 | |
high height anyway. Anyway, it's all
the strategic game of high jumping. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:18 | |
Mirela Demireva of Bulgaria. Two
fouls, 1.93. Just got too close to | 0:46:18 | 0:46:23 | |
that, leaned in and took it off on
the way up on her jump. It was tough | 0:46:23 | 0:46:28 | |
for her. That would have been a
season's best. She hasn't jumped | 0:46:28 | 0:46:31 | |
that high this year. That is why she
didn't pass because the next height | 0:46:31 | 0:46:35 | |
up would have been too big an ask
for her. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:43 | |
for her. Przybylko getting ready for
his 2.33. Last chance to stay | 0:46:43 | 0:46:46 | |
involved. | 0:46:46 | 0:46:51 | |
involved. He's happy with his bronze
medal. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
He knows he has a bronze. He's happy
there. Looking at the card was he | 0:46:54 | 0:47:02 | |
likely | 0:47:02 | 0:47:07 | |
likely to beat Barshim and Lysenko.
That was Morgan Lake getting ready. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:16 | |
Danil Lysenko. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:21 | |
Danil Lysenko. Levchenko watching
on. They are alternating side to | 0:47:22 | 0:47:30 | |
side, allowing the alternate mat to
take the precedent and have the | 0:47:30 | 0:47:35 | |
freedom of jump.
You don't want to be running at | 0:47:35 | 0:47:37 | |
someone jumping, that is a unique
experience. The judges are timing it | 0:47:37 | 0:47:41 | |
from your point of view. When you
are high jumping you are looking at | 0:47:41 | 0:47:47 | |
the grass field behind. Are you not
throwing any more, so probably not. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:54 | |
Levchenko, third attempt.
Levchenko's out. She's in fifth | 0:47:54 | 0:48:03 | |
place. Four athletes remain, Great
Britain's Morgan Lake is one of | 0:48:03 | 0:48:09 | |
them. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:18 | |
them. Mutaz Essa Barshim 2.36. Love
the way he eyes it up from that | 0:48:18 | 0:48:21 | |
right hand side. Oh, surprise there.
Deaccelerated. As you slow down into | 0:48:21 | 0:48:29 | |
the bar and use that speed to
convert to go up. By slowing down, | 0:48:29 | 0:48:33 | |
he's not converted enough of the
speed and he's dropped on the bar. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:39 | |
Basically, he's stalled. Why would
you slow down? You are thinking. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:42 | |
Slowing down. Maybe a little bit too
close, a little bit too far away. | 0:48:42 | 0:48:47 | |
Here we go. Lysenko. This is like
gun slingers, the first man to | 0:48:47 | 0:48:53 | |
blink. Barshim has blinked. Let's
see how he gets on here. That's as | 0:48:53 | 0:48:59 | |
close as he gets to a clearance
without it being one. Must have just | 0:48:59 | 0:49:03 | |
given that the slightest of rattles.
It's a foul. At that point he is | 0:49:03 | 0:49:11 | |
saying - tuck your vest in. Look at
this. His socks too thick. Something | 0:49:11 | 0:49:17 | |
like that! They are on exactly the
same record. They are both going to | 0:49:17 | 0:49:22 | |
be tied for that first place. So
then, cat-and-mouse on the men's | 0:49:22 | 0:49:27 | |
side. Lysenko authorised neutral
athlete and Barshim. On the women's | 0:49:27 | 0:49:36 | |
side, Lake finds herself in fourth
place. Total fouls remember. That's | 0:49:36 | 0:49:41 | |
interesting Steve. It's the two
fouls at 1.84. The opening height? | 0:49:41 | 0:49:48 | |
That opening height that may cost
her the medal in the end. That early | 0:49:48 | 0:49:52 | |
failure. That runway really that she
didn't quite get right. Didn't get | 0:49:52 | 0:49:58 | |
the rhythm early. It may cost her.
Get the rhythm early. Barshim | 0:49:58 | 0:50:03 | |
looking to do exactly that. Rhythm
on the approach. Massive height. | 0:50:03 | 0:50:08 | |
Came down on that didn't he? He did.
He knows that, you know, he blinked | 0:50:08 | 0:50:15 | |
first and Lysenko blinked. He had a
chance there. Again, just trying to | 0:50:15 | 0:50:19 | |
muscle it off the ground a little
bit, instead of using that wonderful | 0:50:19 | 0:50:26 | |
flow he has. Mariya Lasitskene, 2
metres 4. 1.96 easily. She's in a | 0:50:26 | 0:50:37 | |
competition of her own. Well better
than anybody else. Been over two | 0:50:37 | 0:50:44 | |
metres already this year. She's the
class of the field. From one | 0:50:44 | 0:50:50 | |
authorised neutral athlete to
another, Lysenko. 2.36. He knows | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
this is a chance to possibly take
gold here because he's seen the only | 0:50:53 | 0:50:59 | |
other athlete who can stop him,
Barshim on two fouls, Lysenko on | 0:50:59 | 0:51:02 | |
one. Second attempt. Not as good as
the first, was it? Not as good as | 0:51:02 | 0:51:09 | |
the first. He'll know, one more
attempt or are we heading for a jump | 0:51:09 | 0:51:15 | |
off? They have identical cards so
far. It's not out of the question. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:20 | |
Two fouls of this height of 2. 36
and a clean card up to this height. | 0:51:20 | 0:51:28 | |
Lysenko and Barshim, neck and neck.
One jump remaining. One jump | 0:51:28 | 0:51:33 | |
separates the two. Who is your money
on? I'd hate to see. I'm not a | 0:51:33 | 0:51:39 | |
gambling man, I'm not a gambling
man. Vashti Cunningham of the United | 0:51:39 | 0:51:44 | |
States. A bit of pride, she's
watching her title being taken here, | 0:51:44 | 0:51:50 | |
unless she can do something about
it. 1.96, first attempt. Too much. | 0:51:50 | 0:51:55 | |
Again, slows down and stands up.
Keep leaning. Lean away. Ride that | 0:51:55 | 0:52:02 | |
bicycle round the corner, that kind
of feel. If you rotate the floor you | 0:52:02 | 0:52:11 | |
limit the height you can achieve.
What you are trying to do is be in | 0:52:11 | 0:52:15 | |
the strongest position you can. You
put your feet directly underneath | 0:52:15 | 0:52:19 | |
your shoulders. Instead of what you
should be should do, put your feet | 0:52:19 | 0:52:23 | |
out ahead of you. The coaches
watching on. The coach is up close | 0:52:23 | 0:52:30 | |
here, getting in the ears of their
athletes. So, two athletes remain on | 0:52:30 | 0:52:38 | |
the men's side. The first final. A
roar from the man they call The | 0:52:38 | 0:52:47 | |
Prince of Qatar. Mutaz Essa Barshim.
How much do you want this World | 0:52:47 | 0:52:55 | |
Indoor title, third and final jump,
one more attempt. 2.36 for Barshim. | 0:52:55 | 0:53:04 | |
Came down on that, again. Three
fouls. He's not out. He has had | 0:53:04 | 0:53:13 | |
three fouls so finished in those
terms. If Lysenko goes clear, then | 0:53:13 | 0:53:17 | |
Barshim cannot respond. If Lysenko
knocks it off we have a jump off. | 0:53:17 | 0:53:24 | |
Just rotating on the floor and
backing in there. If he'd looked at | 0:53:24 | 0:53:28 | |
his mind-set. The way the whole
stadium went quiet for him as he | 0:53:28 | 0:53:34 | |
mediated in that way and let out
that roar and run. He gathered | 0:53:34 | 0:53:36 | |
himself. A lot of effort. So then,
Morgan Lake. Season's best already. | 0:53:36 | 0:53:49 | |
1.96, first attempt. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:55 | |
1.96, first attempt. Unlucky there.
If I'm right in thinking that would | 0:53:55 | 0:54:00 | |
have represented a personal best
indoors and out doors. Again, 1.96 | 0:54:00 | 0:54:05 | |
an early look at it. Again, why not.
She's got to step up as an athlete | 0:54:05 | 0:54:10 | |
now, really. At the age she's at.
She has been to major championships. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:17 | |
She has to believe, it's my time,
step up and compete. It's a perfect | 0:54:17 | 0:54:22 | |
competition. She's done it time and
time again. As we turn our attention | 0:54:22 | 0:54:28 | |
back to the men's side. Danil
Lysenko this jump to win the | 0:54:28 | 0:54:35 | |
competition. Asks for a hush here.
You could hear a pin drop, as I look | 0:54:35 | 0:54:42 | |
around the stadium here. Two fouls.
A battle with himself. | 0:54:42 | 0:54:56 | |
Massive jump from Lysenko. That's a
Gold medal jump. He looked as good | 0:54:57 | 0:55:05 | |
as Barshim. He matched him and then,
in the end, bettered him. He asked | 0:55:05 | 0:55:13 | |
for hush. I've never seen that. The
crowd, bless them, were incredibly | 0:55:13 | 0:55:18 | |
quiet. You could hear his feet
scraping. | 0:55:18 | 0:55:20 | |
He composed himself. That's class.
That is class. Look at that. Very | 0:55:20 | 0:55:27 | |
competent jump. Do you know what, a
bit of needle there, the man | 0:55:27 | 0:55:31 | |
deprived of a Gold medal last summer
to Mutaz Barshim. They have swapped | 0:55:31 | 0:55:37 | |
places. Gold becomes silver, silver
becomes gold. Lysenko has risen to | 0:55:37 | 0:55:41 | |
the top. You may lose Bolt and
athletes of that level, but we can | 0:55:41 | 0:55:48 | |
see some rivalries. Barshim,
Lysenko. We can see rivalries. | 0:55:48 | 0:55:59 | |
Unfortunate they won't go
head-to-head in major championships. | 0:55:59 | 0:56:05 | |
Rivalries is the critical thing. 20
years of age, Lysenko. Yeah, high | 0:56:05 | 0:56:11 | |
jumps are young men and ladies game.
They jump high at young ages and | 0:56:11 | 0:56:19 | |
they keep jumping those heights. A
foul there. 1. 1.# 6. -- 1.96. Too | 0:56:19 | 0:56:29 | |
much for her. Morgan Lake still
involved. The men's final is | 0:56:29 | 0:56:32 | |
concluded. Only the women's yet to
be decided. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:41 | |
be decided. Mariya Lasitskene is out
in front. The reigning champion is | 0:56:41 | 0:56:45 | |
still involved, Vashti Cunningham,
about to take her second attempt, so | 0:56:45 | 0:56:49 | |
is Morgan Lake. Cunningham, second
chance at 1.96. That's close. That's | 0:56:49 | 0:56:55 | |
much better. Much better jumping
there. Athletics is that mental | 0:56:55 | 0:57:02 | |
game. | 0:57:02 | 0:57:08 | |
game. Trust Trost will think she has
a comfortable bronze. Morgan has to | 0:57:08 | 0:57:11 | |
believe in herself and take it away
from her. Why not, why not? Why not | 0:57:11 | 0:57:17 | |
indeed. A great time to really come
of age, two 20-year-olds battling it | 0:57:17 | 0:57:23 | |
out. Morgan Lake. Well, whatever
happens here, Morgan Lake has done | 0:57:23 | 0:57:27 | |
better than her sixth place last
year at the London Out door | 0:57:27 | 0:57:31 | |
Championships. Guaranteed fourth or
better. 1.96 this a medal potential | 0:57:31 | 0:57:38 | |
jump. Second chance. Knocked it off
on the way up. On those last two | 0:57:38 | 0:57:49 | |
steps. Her inside shoulder on her
left shoulder, tip it is towards the | 0:57:49 | 0:57:53 | |
bar. When she jumps, she is jumping,
just drifts in. You see how she | 0:57:53 | 0:57:59 | |
rotates that shoulder away, the left
shoulder. That takes her in towards | 0:57:59 | 0:58:03 | |
the bar am you have to have the
courage to stay away and then go | 0:58:03 | 0:58:07 | |
vertical. Come on Morgan. Come on
Morgan. It may be taken out of her | 0:58:07 | 0:58:11 | |
hands because if Alessia Trost goes
clear, it makes Morgan's task even | 0:58:11 | 0:58:19 | |
more difficult. Trost carrying a
foul in the first jump. We've seen | 0:58:19 | 0:58:24 | |
Morgan foul twice at this height of
1.96. | 0:58:24 | 0:58:31 | |
1.96. Trost very capable, two metre
jumper back in 2013, indoors. Fifth | 0:58:33 | 0:58:41 | |
in Rio. Trost has a Championship
pedigree. Of sorts at least. She has | 0:58:41 | 0:58:50 | |
a Hans here to confirm her bronze
medal. Second jump, 1.96. No. No. | 0:58:50 | 0:58:58 | |
Really bad. Just leads in with that
right arm. Just pushes it towards | 0:58:58 | 0:59:04 | |
the bar and you should push it up
into the air. Still in third. One | 0:59:04 | 0:59:07 | |
more jump left. | 0:59:07 | 0:59:16 | |
more jump left. Mariya Lasitskene in
a class of her own. Morgan Lake in | 0:59:16 | 0:59:21 | |
fourth place at the moment.
Cunningham will get the first chance | 0:59:21 | 0:59:25 | |
to go clear at the third time of
asking. There's Khan, coach to | 0:59:25 | 0:59:31 | |
Morgan lake. -- lake. Striding it
out. Nod of approval, hopefully | 0:59:31 | 0:59:40 | |
giving Morgan the confidence she
needs. She needs to let go and trust | 0:59:40 | 0:59:43 | |
this now. First up, Vashti
Cunningham. Off two fouls. Third | 0:59:43 | 0:59:52 | |
chance. | 0:59:52 | 0:59:54 | |
Just came out of her arch early.
Came out of her arch early. What you | 0:59:57 | 1:00:05 | |
have to do is wait. You rotate
around the bar like a bicycle wheel | 1:00:05 | 1:00:10 | |
and then flick your legs out. Got
the timing wrong. Technical stuff | 1:00:10 | 1:00:15 | |
aside. An emotive jump for Morgan
Lake. She has to not think about it | 1:00:15 | 1:00:20 | |
and go for it. That is what I'm
thinking. You are right. It's about | 1:00:20 | 1:00:27 | |
adrenaline, motivation, power. You
don't have to make it technical. Now | 1:00:27 | 1:00:30 | |
is your time. A medal on offer. If
you clear this, I'm not sure the | 1:00:30 | 1:00:35 | |
Italian can beat you. I completely
agree. A medal chance for Great | 1:00:35 | 1:00:40 | |
Britain's Morgan Lake. Currently in
fourth place off the back of a | 1:00:40 | 1:00:43 | |
season's best at the previous
height. She's moved the runup back. | 1:00:43 | 1:00:48 | |
I saw her do it earlier. Moved it
back a foot. Further away, giving | 1:00:48 | 1:00:52 | |
herself more room. Physical she runs
that speed and stays away... Morgan | 1:00:52 | 1:00:57 | |
Lake, 1.96, third try. Over striding
there. You could see that. It was | 1:00:57 | 1:01:03 | |
that. You move the runner back to
counter act what you are doing. It | 1:01:03 | 1:01:08 | |
makes you open up and pushes the
shoulder further ahead. Ah, that was | 1:01:08 | 1:01:12 | |
such an opportunity there really to
step into a medal. She will know. | 1:01:12 | 1:01:17 | |
She will know. For me, she's been
quite a nervous young lady. You see | 1:01:17 | 1:01:22 | |
her jump really well when she smiles
and relaxed and comfortable. You see | 1:01:22 | 1:01:27 | |
her jump really well. Didn't quite
see that today. It's the early | 1:01:27 | 1:01:32 | |
failures, running underneath the bar
in the first attempt at. Messing up | 1:01:32 | 1:01:36 | |
the run at second time. That is what
cost her. Big confidence boost for | 1:01:36 | 1:01:41 | |
Morgan Lake. Fourth place, the most
agonising place to finish at a | 1:01:41 | 1:01:45 | |
championships. | 1:01:45 | 1:01:46 | |
She is out, three falls at 1.96,
fourth place here this evening. -- | 1:01:51 | 1:01:57 | |
three fouls. Crossed is guaranteed
bronze, and can improve, but that's | 1:01:57 | 1:02:03 | |
her third foul also -- Trost. The
competition is over. The Italian | 1:02:03 | 1:02:13 | |
will take bronze, Cunningham Silver,
1.96, three fouls. There is one | 1:02:13 | 1:02:23 | |
athlete, this hugely dominant high
jumper, Maria Lasitskene gets ready | 1:02:23 | 1:02:30 | |
for 1.99. She hasn't had any fouls
so far as we look back at Trost. She | 1:02:30 | 1:02:36 | |
will be pleased with a medal.
Definitely, she hasn't jumped | 1:02:36 | 1:02:39 | |
anywhere near the two metres she has
jumped career-wise. Is that jump | 1:02:39 | 1:02:48 | |
necessary? Do I want to improve my
bronze to a silver? You would hope | 1:02:48 | 1:02:52 | |
so but she will be satisfied with
that. Opportunity missed for Morgan. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:57 | |
Now is her time at the age of 21,
22, that's when you start jumping at | 1:02:57 | 1:03:02 | |
the top of your height and when you
must cement the two-metre jump. You | 1:03:02 | 1:03:06 | |
can jump 1.96 and 1.97 and win
medals and championships. This is a | 1:03:06 | 1:03:13 | |
young lady who has committed herself
to high jump now, I think that's the | 1:03:13 | 1:03:16 | |
sensible way forward for her, based
at the National performance | 1:03:16 | 1:03:20 | |
Institute at Loughborough, full-time
coach, everything going for you. | 1:03:20 | 1:03:23 | |
Unlucky. Maria Lasitskene, the world
leader, 38 consecutive victories, | 1:03:23 | 1:03:32 | |
would you believe? Her last defeat
was in 2016 ahead of Ashley | 1:03:32 | 1:03:38 | |
Cunningham. Morgan Lake in fourth
place. Here is the men's result. | 1:03:38 | 1:03:44 | |
It was a win for Danil Lysenko,
silver-medallist last summer, and | 1:03:44 | 1:03:49 | |
Barshim, surprise defeat command
Robbie Grabarz, disappointed, I'm | 1:03:49 | 1:03:52 | |
sure, with 2.20 in ninth place. | 1:03:52 | 1:03:58 | |
Robbie Grabarz, disappointed, I'm
sure, with 2.20 in ninth place. What | 1:03:58 | 1:03:58 | |
will be overriding emotion be for
Morgan Lake because that's an | 1:03:58 | 1:04:02 | |
improvement on a global standing at
a major competition compared to the | 1:04:02 | 1:04:06 | |
Worlds in London, but frustration
springs to mind because of the early | 1:04:06 | 1:04:10 | |
mistakes. Absolutely frustration.
She should be frustrated. What she | 1:04:10 | 1:04:14 | |
has seen now she has moved
completely too high jumper is that | 1:04:14 | 1:04:17 | |
even when you are not at your best
you can still come away with a medal | 1:04:17 | 1:04:22 | |
in competitions like that providing
you have the discipline in the early | 1:04:22 | 1:04:28 | |
rounds, and, you know, she will be
gutted because that bronze medal was | 1:04:28 | 1:04:34 | |
so there. She looked better as the
rounds went on and the Heights got | 1:04:34 | 1:04:40 | |
higher. Very frustrating, I think,
for her. In terms of the final | 1:04:40 | 1:04:44 | |
height what were your thoughts on
her approach and technique? I was | 1:04:44 | 1:04:48 | |
thinking more of a positive spin on
it for her because we know how | 1:04:48 | 1:04:52 | |
talented she is and how she can
deliver so to come to a major | 1:04:52 | 1:04:56 | |
championships and deliver a season's
best, only two high jumpers | 1:04:56 | 1:05:00 | |
delivered a season's best, so I
think he will be positive for her | 1:05:00 | 1:05:04 | |
moving forward and I like the fact
she improved, she moved her shoe out | 1:05:04 | 1:05:09 | |
and became more aggressive to try
and get the medal again. Lysenko | 1:05:09 | 1:05:14 | |
already assured of the gold...
Sorry, Lasitskene, the men's winner | 1:05:14 | 1:05:21 | |
we saw earlier on. Lasitskene going
for 2.01 and she has cleared that | 1:05:21 | 1:05:29 | |
many times. She is an incredibly
formidable high jumper but it must | 1:05:29 | 1:05:32 | |
be quite tough when you have already
got the gold and go out and push | 1:05:32 | 1:05:37 | |
yourself to be competitive against
yourself. I think that part of | 1:05:37 | 1:05:41 | |
athletics is being competitive for
yourself, looking for faster times | 1:05:41 | 1:05:45 | |
and higher jumps become a -- because
there are records and trying to show | 1:05:45 | 1:05:54 | |
you are the best you can be
producing best performance when it | 1:05:54 | 1:05:59 | |
counts, trying to get a higher
height, you will do that in | 1:05:59 | 1:06:03 | |
competition rather than trying to do
it in practice, your chance of | 1:06:03 | 1:06:07 | |
getting that height is better in the
competition. The motivation comes | 1:06:07 | 1:06:10 | |
from trying to get up on that world
all-time list, I'm sure the | 1:06:10 | 1:06:15 | |
motivation was there but it didn't
happen for her today. Let's look at | 1:06:15 | 1:06:19 | |
Lysenko and his winning jump, which
was when he gets it together a thing | 1:06:19 | 1:06:25 | |
of beauty. You have seen consistency
in his run-up. That clearance was | 1:06:25 | 1:06:31 | |
just staggering. That consistency of
run-up is key to jumping heights | 1:06:31 | 1:06:36 | |
because you trusted, your placement
is correct every time you go to take | 1:06:36 | 1:06:40 | |
off and you set up technically in
the right position to give yourself | 1:06:40 | 1:06:44 | |
the room to clear the height.
Unfortunately for Morgan today when | 1:06:44 | 1:06:48 | |
we think about the differences
between the consistent jumpers and | 1:06:48 | 1:06:52 | |
being consistent jumpers it is about
work on the runway and the position | 1:06:52 | 1:06:58 | |
they arrived to the bar in. Tony
mentioned the rivalry from Barshim | 1:06:58 | 1:07:01 | |
from last summer to today, that will
be a great thing to watch over the | 1:07:01 | 1:07:08 | |
years, just 20 years old. The fact
he is so young and energetic, but | 1:07:08 | 1:07:12 | |
also to add to that he has this
genuine skill and desire to jump | 1:07:12 | 1:07:16 | |
high. He took on the challenge and
he will look at Barshim and think he | 1:07:16 | 1:07:20 | |
is the world champion and has jumped
really high and I've got to take him | 1:07:20 | 1:07:23 | |
out and he did it today. Lasitskene
is going for 2.01 again and she gets | 1:07:23 | 1:07:30 | |
it and she still doesn't look very
happy. But it's effortless. She's | 1:07:30 | 1:07:36 | |
got to be citing the world record at
some stage in her career because she | 1:07:36 | 1:07:44 | |
is so consistently over two metres.
2.10 is a big jump, it has been a | 1:07:44 | 1:07:49 | |
world record for sometime. She's got
it in her. She has to, at least | 1:07:49 | 1:07:56 | |
consistently deliver on the big
stages, the next step is world | 1:07:56 | 1:08:01 | |
records. Maybe that's what she is
saving the big smile for. | 1:08:01 | 1:08:05 | |
LAUGHTER
She is the world indoor champion, | 1:08:05 | 1:08:09 | |
though, and congratulations to her
and in the end it was a great high | 1:08:09 | 1:08:12 | |
jump competition. Coming up on the
track, the first race on the track, | 1:08:12 | 1:08:17 | |
the first final of these
championships is the women's 3000 | 1:08:17 | 1:08:21 | |
metres. One year ago in Laura Muir
conquered the European Indoor | 1:08:21 | 1:08:24 | |
challenges that lay before her in
Belgrade with two golds. This is a | 1:08:24 | 1:08:28 | |
chance for her to win her first
global medal on the world stage. | 1:08:28 | 1:08:37 | |
COMMENTATOR: Once more, what an
athlete this woman is, Genzebe | 1:08:47 | 1:08:51 | |
Dibaba. It will be gold. It's going
to be a gold medal for Netherlands | 1:08:51 | 1:08:56 | |
as Hassan | 1:08:56 | 1:09:01 | |
as Hassan wins the title. Look at
this last lap from Hellen Obiri. | 1:09:02 | 1:09:06 | |
Gold to Kenya. But here is Laura
Muir. She has now got two gold | 1:09:06 | 1:09:14 | |
medals and she is the champion again
and it's another record. | 1:09:14 | 1:09:18 | |
STUDIO: Paula Radcliffe is in the
commentary box ahead of this race | 1:09:20 | 1:09:27 | |
for us. Paula, we have seen the
athletes come out and they have had | 1:09:27 | 1:09:32 | |
their first taste of the track
tonight. You were watching from up | 1:09:32 | 1:09:37 | |
there, no doubt. Your thoughts on
Laura this evening? She has come | 1:09:37 | 1:09:40 | |
into this year and it's a bit of an
off year for her, we mentioned how | 1:09:40 | 1:09:46 | |
she is concentrating on her studies.
In some ways that means she is tired | 1:09:46 | 1:09:49 | |
but also there is no pressure on
her. Wenxiu came in with those | 1:09:49 | 1:09:54 | |
expectations last year in Belgrade,
she can really go out and have fun | 1:09:54 | 1:09:58 | |
tonight. Having said that, the other
girls will be well aware she has | 1:09:58 | 1:10:04 | |
already won and they will look to
her to see when she makes her move. | 1:10:04 | 1:10:08 | |
There will not be anyone apart from
Klosterhalfen or Dibaba who will | 1:10:08 | 1:10:12 | |
make a move before Laura Muir
tonight. Tactics, Laura Muir loves | 1:10:12 | 1:10:17 | |
to take it out and she loves the
front running but indoors it's very | 1:10:17 | 1:10:21 | |
difficult to have it your own way
and at a major championship it is | 1:10:21 | 1:10:25 | |
difficult to have it your own way
like that. It is. Undoubtedly she | 1:10:25 | 1:10:29 | |
will have come in with a plan but
she and Andy will have sat down and | 1:10:29 | 1:10:33 | |
made a plan but it must be flexible
because like you said indoors things | 1:10:33 | 1:10:38 | |
can change so quickly and she must
be well aware of what is going on | 1:10:38 | 1:10:41 | |
around her, who is around her and be
careful when she is making moves. | 1:10:41 | 1:10:46 | |
Paula, you mentioned early on to
make the field is loaded, Genzebe | 1:10:46 | 1:10:50 | |
Dibaba, the world champion from two
years ago is in there amongst others | 1:10:50 | 1:10:52 | |
and they know the threat that Laura
poses to them, obviously from London | 1:10:52 | 1:10:57 | |
and racing her on the circuit. What
kind of tactics will Dibaba go for? | 1:10:57 | 1:11:04 | |
Interesting, Dibaba has raced well,
she has run a 3.57, undoubtedly in | 1:11:04 | 1:11:09 | |
good shape, not as good a shape as
the years when we have seen her come | 1:11:09 | 1:11:14 | |
out and run 8.16. She will be aware
Laura Muir has finishing speed, | 1:11:14 | 1:11:19 | |
Hoolahan can close very fast guy she
closed in 28 seconds in the US | 1:11:19 | 1:11:23 | |
championships so if they let it go
to slow she becomes a big danger. I | 1:11:23 | 1:11:27 | |
think Dibaba might panic. She has
the likes of Obiri and Hassan who | 1:11:27 | 1:11:32 | |
will not make a move early on and
she might decide to go early which | 1:11:32 | 1:11:36 | |
will help Laura. She knows all about
Obiri and Hassan because she was in | 1:11:36 | 1:11:39 | |
the race with them in the summer,
the 5000 meteors in London when | 1:11:39 | 1:11:46 | |
Obiri won gold and Hassan took the
bronze -- 5000 metres. All of the | 1:11:46 | 1:11:51 | |
runners know and respect each other
here and they know where each | 1:11:51 | 1:11:55 | |
other's strengths lie and I'm sure
there is lots of respect for Laura | 1:11:55 | 1:11:58 | |
Muir among them and lots of fear for
the way she runs, she runs in a | 1:11:58 | 1:12:02 | |
fearless way and she will take you
by the scruff of the neck and she is | 1:12:02 | 1:12:06 | |
not afraid to lay it all out there
and I fully expect her to do that | 1:12:06 | 1:12:09 | |
tonight but I hope she doesn't go
too soon. Thank you, Paula. We will | 1:12:09 | 1:12:13 | |
hear from the Eilish McColgan who is
of course running tonight as well | 1:12:13 | 1:12:18 | |
with her very famous coach and mum,
of course, Liz McColgan. We saw them | 1:12:18 | 1:12:23 | |
together earlier this evening. This
is what Eilish had to say about this | 1:12:23 | 1:12:29 | |
one. I feel like a medal would be a
very tough ask considering it's | 1:12:29 | 1:12:33 | |
probably the best fielding history
of 3000 metre running. For me, if I | 1:12:33 | 1:12:38 | |
could go in and run a PB that is all
I could ask for. I Lutfur Rahman a | 1:12:38 | 1:12:46 | |
fast race and a strong race and come
out of things knowing that I have | 1:12:46 | 1:12:50 | |
the speed in my legs and that sort
of pace which will help me over the | 1:12:50 | 1:12:54 | |
5K later on this year. Outdoor 5K is
my priority so I feel like a three K | 1:12:54 | 1:13:00 | |
is a good training thing for me to
do to work on my speed work for the | 1:13:00 | 1:13:05 | |
outdoor season. So, yeah, for me to
run a PB and be competitive that's | 1:13:05 | 1:13:12 | |
what I want to become a competitive
against these girls and not fear | 1:13:12 | 1:13:15 | |
them because anything can happen in
any indoor race. I think there is | 1:13:15 | 1:13:19 | |
something like 12 girls sub 8.42. We
have probably had five goals in the | 1:13:19 | 1:13:25 | |
history in the UK run sub 8.42. Is a
strong field, Hassan from the | 1:13:25 | 1:13:33 | |
Netherlands, Obiri comp Dibaba and
Laura Muir, so even the top side of | 1:13:33 | 1:13:37 | |
things is very strong but the depth
throughout the field as well -- | 1:13:37 | 1:13:41 | |
Obiri and Dibaba. It is a really
unique race, much stronger than the | 1:13:41 | 1:13:46 | |
1500 so I'm really excited and
almost intrigued to see how it will | 1:13:46 | 1:13:50 | |
go. I just can't wait to get out
there now and hopefully come away | 1:13:50 | 1:13:55 | |
with a quick time. STUDIO: We
mentioned, of course, Laura Muir | 1:13:55 | 1:13:59 | |
sacrificed the Commonwealth Games
because of her studies. Colin, you | 1:13:59 | 1:14:03 | |
were a star at both, world indoors
and world Commonwealth Games, but | 1:14:03 | 1:14:07 | |
knowing how much it means to her | 1:14:07 | 1:14:13 | |
knowing how much it means to her off
to race for Scotland she will be | 1:14:15 | 1:14:17 | |
putting so much into this diet, you
Laura Muir, because this is a big | 1:14:17 | 1:14:20 | |
Championships, because until the
Europeans in August this is it for | 1:14:20 | 1:14:22 | |
her. This must be her focus now, she
will engage with the whole crowd and | 1:14:22 | 1:14:25 | |
hope the home supporters will see
her through. This is incredible, as | 1:14:25 | 1:14:27 | |
has been said, an incredibly
talented field, at no stage in the | 1:14:27 | 1:14:30 | |
race will there be what I would
describe as clear air where you | 1:14:30 | 1:14:34 | |
could run free and fast. There will
always be competitive aspects to it | 1:14:34 | 1:14:40 | |
and Laura will relish the
opportunity of the home crowd giving | 1:14:40 | 1:14:43 | |
her support. She knows this is a
good opportunity for her and I think | 1:14:43 | 1:14:47 | |
all of us will be cheering her every
single lap. She was so good in | 1:14:47 | 1:14:52 | |
Belgrade, the field not nearly as
strong as it is tonight. Yeah, it's | 1:14:52 | 1:14:57 | |
not a strong. It was strong in
Belgrade and tonight it is. She is a | 1:14:57 | 1:15:04 | |
different athlete, she talked about
how her mindset is. She is a | 1:15:04 | 1:15:10 | |
different athlete. We must commend
her with making those tough | 1:15:10 | 1:15:14 | |
decisions that suit her as a
professional athlete but as a | 1:15:14 | 1:15:19 | |
veterinary student going forward.
That's her life going forward. | 1:15:19 | 1:15:23 | |
Making those life choices are
important and you've got to get it | 1:15:23 | 1:15:26 | |
right. Steve Cram is up on our
commentary platform ahead of this | 1:15:26 | 1:15:30 | |
one. Welcome back from Pyeongchang,
Steve, glad you made it back for | 1:15:30 | 1:15:34 | |
this one and four tonight because
there seems to be a tempering of | 1:15:34 | 1:15:38 | |
expectation of Laura Muir ahead of
this perhaps compared to the World | 1:15:38 | 1:15:42 | |
Championships because her studies
have been so intense, she has | 1:15:42 | 1:15:45 | |
perhaps not on the level of training
she had a hell of Belgrade last | 1:15:45 | 1:15:48 | |
year. Could she surprise us? Could
she get on to the rostrum? Do you | 1:15:48 | 1:15:53 | |
expect her to push for the medals? | 1:15:53 | 1:15:56 | |
Expect is a strong word. Yes, Laura
expects that. I spoke to her at the | 1:15:56 | 1:16:03 | |
hotel. She is very relaxed. This is
tough. She know it is's tough. | 1:16:03 | 1:16:11 | |
Dibaba, Paula said is beatable.
Obiri is beet beatable. | 1:16:11 | 1:16:19 | |
Obiri is beet beatable. -- beatable.
Hassan has won one race. She needs | 1:16:21 | 1:16:29 | |
to be patient. If she gives herself
a good chance on the last lap I | 1:16:29 | 1:16:35 | |
think she could win a medal.
Lasitskene had her final attempt. | 1:16:35 | 1:16:41 | |
Walking away from here tonight with
that Gold medal that she cleared at | 1:16:41 | 1:16:46 | |
2.01 earlier. She's so far and away
the dominant high jumper in the | 1:16:46 | 1:16:54 | |
world. As Denise said, one day
perhaps that world record will be | 1:16:54 | 1:16:59 | |
hers and maybe not too far away. .
Back to that 3000 metres. The | 1:16:59 | 1:17:03 | |
fireworks are coming. The grand
entrances will be coming in a moment | 1:17:03 | 1:17:07 | |
as well. Just see that failure one
more time. Steve, they will make | 1:17:07 | 1:17:16 | |
their entrance into the arena in a
moment. Eilish McColgan will hope | 1:17:16 | 1:17:22 | |
it's the start of another good year
for her. She made great progress | 1:17:22 | 1:17:25 | |
last year? She made great progress.
At the European Indoor door | 1:17:25 | 1:17:34 | |
Championships where Laura won Eilish
McColgan got bronze and kicked them | 1:17:34 | 1:17:38 | |
into a a good season. I think they
made a mess of it. That high jump | 1:17:38 | 1:17:41 | |
was great. The girls were told there
may be a little delay. Nothing worse | 1:17:41 | 1:17:47 | |
than lining up for a World
Championship final and that is what | 1:17:47 | 1:17:51 | |
it is and being delayed. That isn't
a Grand Prix event. It should have | 1:17:51 | 1:17:57 | |
been choreographed better. This is
has not been good for the 3,000 | 1:17:57 | 1:18:02 | |
girls they are ready to come out.
Thank you Steve. I wouldn't expect | 1:18:02 | 1:18:05 | |
anything else but a crumble on night
one. We love you for that. They are | 1:18:05 | 1:18:11 | |
ready to come out now for the 3000
metres. The first race on the track. | 1:18:11 | 1:18:16 | |
The first final on the track of
these World Indoor Championships. | 1:18:16 | 1:18:23 | |
After that almost medal chance there
from Morgan Lake what will it do for | 1:18:23 | 1:18:28 | |
the British team if Laura Muir can
push herself amongst the medals? | 1:18:28 | 1:18:32 | |
It's a natural lift. Be honest,
medals for the British team are | 1:18:32 | 1:18:36 | |
going to be light on the ground.
That's for many reasons, one in | 1:18:36 | 1:18:41 | |
particular, you highlighted, the
Commonwealth Games. People are | 1:18:41 | 1:18:43 | |
making the choice not to be here. | 1:18:43 | 1:18:45 | |
Commonwealth Games. People are
making the choice not to be here. It | 1:18:45 | 1:18:46 | |
will be great for the team if she
can deliver here. The fireworks are | 1:18:46 | 1:18:52 | |
coming, the lights are down. Steve
Cram it's over to you and Paula | 1:18:52 | 1:18:56 | |
Radcliffe.
COMMENTATOR: Thank you. They will be | 1:18:56 | 1:19:00 | |
introduced from that door on the
right hand side. The far side of the | 1:19:00 | 1:19:05 | |
track. The fireworks, whatever else
we are going to get, will begin in a | 1:19:05 | 1:19:12 | |
couple of seconds time. Out one by
one fairly quickly. The track events | 1:19:12 | 1:19:17 | |
more of an individual introduction.
This is an incredibly strong field. | 1:19:17 | 1:19:22 | |
Genevieve Lalonde had a good start
to her season. New Canadian record | 1:19:22 | 1:19:25 | |
holder. Then second out is Eilish
McColgan. As I said, Eilish McColgan | 1:19:25 | 1:19:36 | |
that indoor performance where she
picked up a couple of places on the | 1:19:36 | 1:19:40 | |
last 200 metres really set her up
nicely for an incredible year for | 1:19:40 | 1:19:44 | |
her in terms of times and
performances. Tamara Armoush, | 1:19:44 | 1:19:47 | |
running for Jordan. 9.27. She will
do well to stay with this field. | 1:19:47 | 1:19:54 | |
Sifan Hassan. I said - I can't see -
she's run a good 3000. Trains in | 1:19:54 | 1:20:04 | |
America. Dominique Scott, very good
last 18 months or so. Former | 1:20:04 | 1:20:10 | |
US-based South African. The next
athlete out I think, Paula is right | 1:20:10 | 1:20:16 | |
to highlight as a threat. Shelby
Houlihan doubled up with the US | 1:20:16 | 1:20:21 | |
champs. She had a great 3000 race
and won the 1500. In the shape of | 1:20:21 | 1:20:29 | |
her life. Konstanze Klosterhalfen
the 21-year-old German who loves to | 1:20:29 | 1:20:33 | |
front run. Ran a superb time at the
German Championships on her own. | 1:20:33 | 1:20:41 | |
Genzebe Dibaba the two-time
championship at this distance at the | 1:20:41 | 1:20:44 | |
World Indoors. At her best very
difficult to beat. Katie Mackey the | 1:20:44 | 1:20:53 | |
second of the two Americans. Pipped
Colbourne on the line in the US | 1:20:53 | 1:21:02 | |
championships to take the second
spot. Fantu Worku may do work for | 1:21:02 | 1:21:05 | |
Dibaba or help her out. She's only
18. Good junior career and her first | 1:21:05 | 1:21:12 | |
taj of a major championships as a
senior. Meraf Bahta, runs for | 1:21:12 | 1:21:16 | |
Sweden. She is wondering where to
go. Former European Champion at 5000 | 1:21:16 | 1:21:24 | |
metres. Laura Muir will get a great
reception. As Paula was saying, an | 1:21:24 | 1:21:30 | |
eventful journey down. Two flights
cancelled. Decided to make it by | 1:21:30 | 1:21:36 | |
car. Had to fight their way down the
M74. Thankfully after that things | 1:21:36 | 1:21:42 | |
got easier. It was late last night
she got here. Seems pretty relaxed | 1:21:42 | 1:21:48 | |
about that. Hellen Obiri almost
tripping up. Can she add the World | 1:21:48 | 1:21:55 | |
Indoor title here. Hellen Obiri a
were former World Indoor Champion in | 1:21:55 | 1:22:01 | |
2012 herself. Well, I think for
distance runners it's the sort of | 1:22:01 | 1:22:06 | |
race that they really relish with
Laura Muir taking on some of the | 1:22:06 | 1:22:11 | |
world's best distance runners at
1500 and 5000 metres coming together | 1:22:11 | 1:22:19 | |
at the classic 3,000-metre distance. | 1:22:19 | 1:22:25 | |
15 laps indoors. Eilish McColgan
joining Laura Muir in their quest to | 1:22:29 | 1:22:36 | |
win a medal for Great Britain. | 1:22:36 | 1:22:44 | |
3,000-metre race which brings
together the quick 1500 metre runs, | 1:22:44 | 1:22:50 | |
the distance specialists as well.
With Laura Muir having 1.59 800 | 1:22:50 | 1:22:55 | |
metres with the likes of Genzebe
Dibaba will not hang around until | 1:22:55 | 1:22:58 | |
the last two or three laps. Others
can finish fast. As Paula rightly | 1:22:58 | 1:23:02 | |
said. Paula, as ever, these races
tend to start slowly and then at | 1:23:02 | 1:23:07 | |
some point it will get going? They
did. The prize for starting the | 1:23:07 | 1:23:16 | |
slowest went to Genzebe Dibaba. She
gave the others a good second or so | 1:23:16 | 1:23:20 | |
head start. She has got what she
wanted. Able now to track Sifan | 1:23:20 | 1:23:25 | |
Hassan and keep her eye on the rest
of the field. Laura Muir has found | 1:23:25 | 1:23:28 | |
herself at the front. Which is
probably what the rest of the field | 1:23:28 | 1:23:32 | |
would have expected. Laura I think
is an athlete who excels indoors. | 1:23:32 | 1:23:38 | |
She is a great out door runner.
She's even better indoors, I think. | 1:23:38 | 1:23:44 | |
That's partly her stature, that
helps. The bad weather up in | 1:23:44 | 1:23:47 | |
Glasgow, she said I don't mind I've
been training indoors for indoor | 1:23:47 | 1:23:52 | |
championship. Hellen Obiri right
there as well. One Kenyan in this. | 1:23:52 | 1:23:59 | |
Konstanze Klosterhalfen in
particular another who likes to | 1:23:59 | 1:24:01 | |
front run. Klosterhalfen, just that
slightly longer stride. Might feel | 1:24:01 | 1:24:07 | |
more comfortable out front.
Wen couldn't get much pushing in the | 1:24:07 | 1:24:11 | |
3000. Laura Muir set off at a
reasonable pace. Not too slow. It's | 1:24:11 | 1:24:15 | |
certainly not the race pace that
these women are capable of. No, you | 1:24:15 | 1:24:20 | |
can see Eilish McColgan having to
chop her stride. Another one, like | 1:24:20 | 1:24:25 | |
Klosterhalfen with a long stride.
She is trapped on the curve there | 1:24:25 | 1:24:29 | |
behind Laura Muir. She's chopping
her stride. Clipped by Dominique | 1:24:29 | 1:24:33 | |
Scott behind her. You can tell she
is not happy there. If a gap opens | 1:24:33 | 1:24:38 | |
up, don't be surprised if you see
Eilish McColgan grabs it and | 1:24:38 | 1:24:44 | |
Klosterhalfen has decided to wait
her time a little bit. Six of the | 1:24:44 | 1:24:47 | |
last seven champions in this
distance have come from Ethiopia. | 1:24:47 | 1:24:50 | |
The one that didn't was Hellen Obiri
from Kenya. Were it to not be one of | 1:24:50 | 1:24:57 | |
those two nations winning, then we
breaking long, goes all the way | 1:24:57 | 1:25:04 | |
back, these championships haven't
always been held in two years. 2003 | 1:25:04 | 1:25:08 | |
in Birmingham the year after they
were held immediately one year | 1:25:08 | 1:25:13 | |
afterwards. | 1:25:13 | 1:25:20 | |
afterwards. Genzebe Dibaba would
love to make it three world titles | 1:25:20 | 1:25:22 | |
for her. Hassan winning the 1500
metre title in Portland. No slouch | 1:25:22 | 1:25:28 | |
in the latter stages. It was a medal
of 5000 she won outdoors. There she | 1:25:28 | 1:25:34 | |
is, Sifan Hassan. Only won one race,
only the 3000 this years? It counts | 1:25:34 | 1:25:43 | |
in knowing what shape she is in. She
took time to settle into the | 1:25:43 | 1:25:48 | |
training group in Portland. She was
a little bit not herself last year. | 1:25:48 | 1:25:53 | |
Genzebe Dibaba quickly making a move
around the outside. Sifan Hassan nt | 1:25:53 | 1:25:59 | |
yet responded. She has started to
close up now. It's not the decisive | 1:25:59 | 1:26:04 | |
move from Dibaba. It's getting
herself in closer order and | 1:26:04 | 1:26:08 | |
recognising the fact that Konstanze
Klosterhalfen had gone hard to the | 1:26:08 | 1:26:10 | |
front and made her bid to stretch
this out a little bit. Very slow | 1:26:10 | 1:26:16 | |
indeed. It's become a 2,000-metre
race. It was the lap before this, | 1:26:16 | 1:26:23 | |
just about now, that Dibaba last
time in Portland threw in a 63 | 1:26:23 | 1:26:31 | |
400-metre stretch that blew the
field apart. I don't think she will | 1:26:31 | 1:26:38 | |
do that here. Bahta is moving up the
outside. All the big names starting | 1:26:38 | 1:26:43 | |
to gather behind Klosterhalfen, who
will now have to make this a long | 1:26:43 | 1:26:47 | |
run for home. She is capable of it.
She is very strong. This is going to | 1:26:47 | 1:26:52 | |
be wearing people down gradually.
Can you hang on, particularly for | 1:26:52 | 1:26:56 | |
the likes of Eilish McColgan. For
Shelby Houlihan the others, all of | 1:26:56 | 1:27:02 | |
those, are now knowing this next
1000 metres will determine whether | 1:27:02 | 1:27:06 | |
or not they can hang on to be there
when the medals are handed out. I | 1:27:06 | 1:27:09 | |
think this is going to be a long
turning of the screw now by | 1:27:09 | 1:27:15 | |
Konstanze Klosterhalfen. She hasn't
put a burst of speed. She has picked | 1:27:15 | 1:27:19 | |
it up. The big names reacted quickly
to that. She is comfortable. Very | 1:27:19 | 1:27:24 | |
fearless. Not afraid to run from the
front. She run 8. 36 this year | 1:27:24 | 1:27:29 | |
indoors, completely on her own. She
knows the pace she can run at her | 1:27:29 | 1:27:32 | |
own. Almost run better when she is
free of the field and able to run. | 1:27:32 | 1:27:36 | |
She will be glancing up at the
screens and she will have seen the | 1:27:36 | 1:27:40 | |
effect that already that surge has
had on the rest of the field. A very | 1:27:40 | 1:27:47 | |
slow first 1500 metres. Harping back
to 2016, Dibaba ran 4.8 for the last | 1:27:47 | 1:27:57 | |
1500 metres. Klosterhalfen trying to
do something similar. Will want to | 1:27:57 | 1:28:00 | |
stretch it out. Doesn't have the
1500 metre pace. She has run sub | 1:28:00 | 1:28:06 | |
four minutes outdoors. You get the
fielding for her she will be hoping | 1:28:06 | 1:28:10 | |
that she can Whittle this down,
gradually get rid of a few. Won't be | 1:28:10 | 1:28:14 | |
for a few laps yet. Too many good
runners behind her. She has a look | 1:28:14 | 1:28:18 | |
over her showned shoulder. A big
screen at the bottom. As you head | 1:28:18 | 1:28:22 | |
down the back straight. A better
view of who is there. It's Dibaba, | 1:28:22 | 1:28:28 | |
Obiri, Laura Muir, Meraf Bahta,
Dominique Scott, Worku, Houlihan and | 1:28:28 | 1:28:33 | |
McColgan. If this was part of Laura
Muir's plan. At the front, but | 1:28:33 | 1:28:37 | |
wasn't doing anything with it. She
didn't want to be there. Her 3000 | 1:28:37 | 1:28:43 | |
metres this year she went too fast
and paid for it in the closing | 1:28:43 | 1:28:46 | |
stages. Within her plan is not to go
too fast in the closing stages. To | 1:28:46 | 1:28:50 | |
set it up for somebody else to do
the work and react to it. 2.53 for | 1:28:50 | 1:28:58 | |
the seconding 1000 metres. We are in
a real race. Dibaba decided, right, | 1:28:58 | 1:29:01 | |
thank you very much, Konstanze
Klosterhalfen, I will take this on | 1:29:01 | 1:29:04 | |
for from here. Beer Obiri quick to
cover Laura Muir trying to close the | 1:29:04 | 1:29:09 | |
gap. Klosterhalfen checking as Obiri
cuts in front of her. Hassan getting | 1:29:09 | 1:29:14 | |
closer. Eilish McColgan tailed off
at this point. They are coming | 1:29:14 | 1:29:17 | |
round, four laps. 800 metres. Dibaba
issic maing a real run for homele. | 1:29:17 | 1:29:22 | |
Laura Muir has a great chance.
Gathering herself. Still very much | 1:29:22 | 1:29:26 | |
involved. So there are now nine odd
clear. Eight are clear of the rest. | 1:29:26 | 1:29:32 | |
A big gap after that. Dibaba is
having to work hard here. She's not | 1:29:32 | 1:29:37 | |
having as much effect as she would
have wished. Now Hassan moves around | 1:29:37 | 1:29:42 | |
Laura Muir a on to the shoulder of
Klosterhalfen. She has nerves of | 1:29:42 | 1:29:45 | |
steel. She did not panic at all.
There she worked her way gradually. | 1:29:45 | 1:29:49 | |
A clip there as she went too close.
Muir moves around. She has to watch | 1:29:49 | 1:29:55 | |
as Klosterhalfen moves wide. Dibaba
is really turning the screw here. | 1:29:55 | 1:30:00 | |
Obiri is struggling. Laura Muir
looked as though she wanted to get | 1:30:00 | 1:30:04 | |
ahead. Didn't have the pace. Working
hard to find her position shech has | 1:30:04 | 1:30:08 | |
a Hans chance here. Obiri is fading.
The effort to go with Dibaba may | 1:30:08 | 1:30:16 | |
have put paid to her chances.
Dibaba, Hassan and Laura Muir. 400 | 1:30:16 | 1:30:22 | |
metres, two laps. She still has a
chance here. Dibaba isn't moving any | 1:30:22 | 1:30:26 | |
quicker away. She's in the shadow,
in the slip stream of Sifan Hassan. | 1:30:26 | 1:30:30 | |
If she can wait am. Not go too soon
and aware of the lap runners as they | 1:30:30 | 1:30:38 | |
come round. Beerberg is, working
hard to hang on to Laura Muir. | 1:30:38 | 1:30:41 | |
Hassan is bringing Laura Muir back
to Dibaba. Dibaba threw in a 31 | 1:30:41 | 1:30:47 | |
after a 33 and a 32. Now Dibaba
tries to kick again. Laura Muir | 1:30:47 | 1:30:51 | |
looks like there is a medal here.
Dibaba is trying to go. She has to | 1:30:51 | 1:30:57 | |
pick it up. They are coming. Hassan
and Laura Muir just getting closer. | 1:30:57 | 1:31:03 | |
Step-by-step. Hassan is closing.
Muir is using it to get to Dibaba. | 1:31:03 | 1:31:08 | |
She's got a medal. What colour will
it be? Dibaba trying to make it | 1:31:08 | 1:31:13 | |
three world titles in a row. Kicks
again. Hassan tries. Here comes | 1:31:13 | 1:31:17 | |
Laura Muir. One last effort. Dibaba,
looking for the line. She's just | 1:31:17 | 1:31:22 | |
about going to make it. Genzebe
Dibaba gets the gold, Hassan gets | 1:31:22 | 1:31:26 | |
the silver. Laura Muir the bronze.
2.37 for the last kilometer. That is | 1:31:26 | 1:31:34 | |
very, very quick indeed. Eilish
McColgan, I'm watching come in | 1:31:34 | 1:31:39 | |
almost stepping on the kerb as she
comes into the last 20 | 1:31:39 | 1:31:45 | |
I thought Laura would have to run
extremely well to get a medal in | 1:31:45 | 1:31:53 | |
this field, you had to beat somebody
very good, that somebody on this | 1:31:53 | 1:31:56 | |
occasion was Hellen Obiri. Hats off
to Dibaba, she went hard and knew | 1:31:56 | 1:32:00 | |
what she had to do, Hassan almost
brought Laura back to her, I thought | 1:32:00 | 1:32:05 | |
Dibaba was starting to struggle with
400 to go but she found something | 1:32:05 | 1:32:07 | |
else. 31.4 before the last 100
metres and around the last 461.4, | 1:32:07 | 1:32:17 | |
that fast. That's very, very fast
off the back of an already quicker | 1:32:17 | 1:32:22 | |
second 1000 metres as well, and
that's what has done the damage and | 1:32:22 | 1:32:26 | |
Laura Muir has run really well. Like
you, Steve, I thought for a fleeting | 1:32:26 | 1:32:32 | |
second Dibaba had got the lapse a
bit wrong and overcooked it and was | 1:32:32 | 1:32:36 | |
tying up with 200 metres to go but
she found enough to pick it up again | 1:32:36 | 1:32:40 | |
for the last lap and stay clear of
the two chasing who sensed she was | 1:32:40 | 1:32:44 | |
fading and have the bit between
their teeth. Laura Muir did nothing | 1:32:44 | 1:32:48 | |
wrong, she got herself in the right
position to get past Hassan almost | 1:32:48 | 1:32:52 | |
in the last few strides and she
didn't quite have enough. I'm | 1:32:52 | 1:32:58 | |
pleased for Sifan Hassan. After the
year she had last year she needed a | 1:32:58 | 1:33:01 | |
boost and she has come out and got
that tonight. She had a great | 1:33:01 | 1:33:06 | |
rivalry with Dibaba. Laura Muir will
be delighted, she has a world medal | 1:33:06 | 1:33:10 | |
in doors, something she excels at,
and I think to come here and win a | 1:33:10 | 1:33:17 | |
medal is something she thoroughly
deserves. She's got a tough year | 1:33:17 | 1:33:20 | |
ahead in terms of her studies. We
have heard all about that, she will | 1:33:20 | 1:33:25 | |
be around at the European
Championships in the summer and had | 1:33:25 | 1:33:28 | |
into the Worlds next year. Genzebe
Dibaba, 4.4, last 1500 metres, that | 1:33:28 | 1:33:35 | |
is exceptional. Dibaba, we have to
admit, when she goes like this. It | 1:33:35 | 1:33:41 | |
was smart, Paula, because she may
have sensed they were kicking and | 1:33:41 | 1:33:44 | |
she kicked with about 20 metres to
go before the bell which almost | 1:33:44 | 1:33:47 | |
looked as if she was heading for the
line but she had 225 metres to go as | 1:33:47 | 1:33:53 | |
it were, and she got the extra yard
or two which she was able to hold | 1:33:53 | 1:33:57 | |
onto as they came off the bend. At
this point Laura Muir looks like she | 1:33:57 | 1:34:03 | |
might get past Hassan but Hassan is
a fighter and holds her off. Great | 1:34:03 | 1:34:07 | |
race. Really good race, looking
again at the last 50 metres, they | 1:34:07 | 1:34:12 | |
are all working to the absolute
limit, of course, because it is a | 1:34:12 | 1:34:17 | |
World Championship final. You can
see how hard Genzebe Dibaba is | 1:34:17 | 1:34:20 | |
working on her face, that is rare,
it is usual to see Sifan Hassan | 1:34:20 | 1:34:25 | |
digging deep and Laura Muir working
hard but to see Genzebe Dibaba | 1:34:25 | 1:34:28 | |
working to her limit, we don't often
see that. Some people might say | 1:34:28 | 1:34:33 | |
Sifan Hassan moved out wide and
blocked Laura Muir. I don't think | 1:34:33 | 1:34:36 | |
she was, I think she had seen
Bobocea in front of her and she | 1:34:36 | 1:34:39 | |
moved out thinking she would have to
work around that lapped athlete. I | 1:34:39 | 1:34:43 | |
don't think there is anything wrong
with what happened. Dibaba doing the | 1:34:43 | 1:34:48 | |
smart thing moving out in the home
straight and make anyone coming on | 1:34:48 | 1:34:51 | |
the outside go a bit further. Hassan
doing the same, well aware of Laura | 1:34:51 | 1:34:55 | |
Muir, she never quite got in front
of her, or right of alongside her so | 1:34:55 | 1:34:59 | |
I don't think there was any
hindrance, I don't think Laura would | 1:34:59 | 1:35:03 | |
say there was either. It was all
fair. Great bronze medal for Laura | 1:35:03 | 1:35:07 | |
Muir, 1500 to come, they are all
running that, most of these women | 1:35:07 | 1:35:12 | |
are, that gives us a point to. They
have heats tomorrow, Laura Muir is | 1:35:12 | 1:35:17 | |
in Genzebe Dibaba's heat tomorrow so
if they didn't already know each | 1:35:17 | 1:35:20 | |
other very well, which they do, then
they certainly will get to know each | 1:35:20 | 1:35:25 | |
other's capabilities even more this
weekend. That means a lot to Laura | 1:35:25 | 1:35:32 | |
Muir. She has had lots of ups and
downs and that fourth place at the | 1:35:32 | 1:35:35 | |
World Championships last year was a
real stinger for her. So, a bronze | 1:35:35 | 1:35:41 | |
medal this time, excellent
performance, season's best. She has | 1:35:41 | 1:35:45 | |
run quicker in a mixed race, so
although that says a best she ran | 1:35:45 | 1:35:50 | |
faster earlier on in the season.
Sifan Hassan, the silver medal for | 1:35:50 | 1:35:55 | |
the Netherlands and the Golden
Miller goes to Genzebe Dibaba again, | 1:35:55 | 1:35:58 | |

STUDIO: That was a good way to end
the first night, great race and | 1:36:03 | 1:36:07 | |
fantastic finish from Laura Muir. It
was a stunning race, thrilling from | 1:36:07 | 1:36:12 | |
the start. It was always going to
be, not so scrappy, but very | 1:36:12 | 1:36:16 | |
competitive and Laura was in the
right place at the right time ready | 1:36:16 | 1:36:19 | |
to strike. Fantastic distance
running. What did you make of the | 1:36:19 | 1:36:25 | |
elbows on the line, Michael? I
thought it was smart running by | 1:36:25 | 1:36:28 | |
Hassan, actually. I think for Laura
this was always going to be tough | 1:36:28 | 1:36:32 | |
but there was going to be an
opportunity and it was that balance, | 1:36:32 | 1:36:36 | |
tough race with great athletes but I
think they are all aware that she | 1:36:36 | 1:36:40 | |
has been running really well and she
seems to have really matured over | 1:36:40 | 1:36:43 | |
the years. Listening to her
interviews she sounds much more sure | 1:36:43 | 1:36:47 | |
of herself and confident which
ultimately translates into success | 1:36:47 | 1:36:50 | |
on the track. This as a global medal
is a fantastic start for her in what | 1:36:50 | 1:36:56 | |
could be an amazing future. We saw
last year outdoors she is right | 1:36:56 | 1:37:01 | |
there. This is a great start for
her. Obiri, she ended up at | 1:37:01 | 1:37:11 | |
overtaking, who was fourth in
London, this is the progress we are | 1:37:11 | 1:37:14 | |
talking about with young athletes
pushing themselves and this field is | 1:37:14 | 1:37:17 | |
stacked, it's not like she has come
here and put herself among people | 1:37:17 | 1:37:20 | |
who were not in London. These are
the winning she couldn't get past. | 1:37:20 | 1:37:25 | |
Absolutely and when you take a race
like this on, she would have looked | 1:37:25 | 1:37:29 | |
at the schedule and how it worked
out and thought to herself, you know | 1:37:29 | 1:37:33 | |
what, I'm as good as these athletes
these days, my quality and | 1:37:33 | 1:37:37 | |
performance as I can do our
world-class and its been | 1:37:37 | 1:37:42 | |
demonstrated. No chance of Laura
would give up, she worked hard all | 1:37:42 | 1:37:45 | |
the way into the line, beaten by
somebody who was a bit more racist | 1:37:45 | 1:37:50 | |
Savea the end. She did enough just
to make Laura, if she wants this she | 1:37:50 | 1:37:54 | |
will have to go around a long way.
Brilliant race, exciting to see for | 1:37:54 | 1:37:58 | |
all of us, and the kind of race we
were expecting. Paula, who is in the | 1:37:58 | 1:38:04 | |
commentary box, I believe, if this
is the moment she is breaking in | 1:38:04 | 1:38:15 | |
is the moment she is breaking in to
global medals and doing it in one of | 1:38:15 | 1:38:17 | |
the toughest years of her life when
she does her finals for her better | 1:38:17 | 1:38:19 | |
marine exams, things are looking
rosy for Laura Muir's running | 1:38:19 | 1:38:21 | |
future. It looks really good and
it's almost like she has cracked the | 1:38:21 | 1:38:24 | |
nemesis that was stopping her
breaking through and getting that | 1:38:24 | 1:38:26 | |
medal. So many times she came been
challenging for a medal, didn't do | 1:38:26 | 1:38:30 | |
anything wrong, ran really well but
didn't walk away with a medal. This | 1:38:30 | 1:38:34 | |
time she walks away with a medal and
knows she hasn't come in 100% and | 1:38:34 | 1:38:38 | |
she knows she can build on that and
come back in the 1500 and do it | 1:38:38 | 1:38:43 | |
again. They were exhausted, Laura
was lying on the track and looked | 1:38:43 | 1:38:47 | |
spent. You have no worries about her
being back for 1500 metres? She | 1:38:47 | 1:38:52 | |
will. You should try and run a
thousand metres and see what you | 1:38:52 | 1:38:57 | |
looked like. I wasn't judging her,
just wondering how they will get | 1:38:57 | 1:39:00 | |
themselves up tomorrow for the 1500
metres. Laura is one of the | 1:39:00 | 1:39:05 | |
strongest athletes out there so she
will recover from that, not with | 1:39:05 | 1:39:08 | |
ease, but she will take it in her
stride. What will she do, Paula? | 1:39:08 | 1:39:13 | |
Will she have an ice bath? You don't
need an ice bath, just run outside. | 1:39:13 | 1:39:19 | |
Just go down to the canal! Sure have
some sort of ice bath, definitely a | 1:39:19 | 1:39:24 | |
massage, get and food into her
quickly and a good night's sleep to | 1:39:24 | 1:39:28 | |
recover. Thank you, Paula. We have
three medal ceremonies back to back | 1:39:28 | 1:39:32 | |
because all of these events tonight
were finals, and those high jump | 1:39:32 | 1:39:37 | |
medal ceremonies will come first.
It's the women's first and Steve | 1:39:37 | 1:39:41 | |
Cram, take it away. | 1:39:41 | 1:39:42 | |
It's the women's first and Steve
Cram, take it away. COMMENTATOR: | 1:39:42 | 1:39:43 | |
Thank you. This is all looking very
nice, Seb Coe walking out with a bit | 1:39:43 | 1:39:48 | |
of atmosphere, a bit of moody music.
Seb Coe is a big fan of jazz, in | 1:39:48 | 1:39:54 | |
case you didn't know. Good
competition. Morgan Lake, so close | 1:39:54 | 1:40:00 | |
to winning a medal, finishing in
fourth place after a couple of | 1:40:00 | 1:40:03 | |
failures at her opening height of
1.84. But the champion Lasitskene | 1:40:03 | 1:40:14 | |
has been supreme, her 30th
consecutive victory. Just | 1:40:14 | 1:40:21 | |
remembering that Sebastian Coe and
the IAAF still not allowing athletes | 1:40:21 | 1:40:24 | |
to compete for Russia. You may have
been following what happened at the | 1:40:24 | 1:40:27 | |
Winter Olympics when they were named
as Olympic athletes from Russia. | 1:40:27 | 1:40:31 | |
They compete under the acronym ANA
here but I haven't seen a Russian | 1:40:31 | 1:40:38 | |
flag in Birmingham so I'm sure that
will be fluttering when she stands | 1:40:38 | 1:40:41 | |
on the rostrum here.
Sebastian Coe, IAAF President. So, | 1:40:41 | 1:40:52 | |
Sebastian Coe gets to present these
striking medals, as Gabby was | 1:40:52 | 1:40:59 | |
saying, designed by local students,
the bronze medal going to Alessia | 1:40:59 | 1:41:03 | |
Trost of Italy. | 1:41:03 | 1:41:08 | |
Trost of Italy. Remember her being
so delighted when she won a medal at | 1:41:10 | 1:41:13 | |
the European Indoors three years ago
in 2015. That was a bit of a | 1:41:13 | 1:41:19 | |
surprise for her then and I think
this one pretty much as much so. | 1:41:19 | 1:41:25 | |
Only 1.93. I think the jury might be
out as to whether the whole thing | 1:41:25 | 1:41:29 | |
with the two high jump competition
is facing each other. Nice to get | 1:41:29 | 1:41:33 | |
the thoughts of the competitors
themselves on that. The former | 1:41:33 | 1:41:39 | |
champion now, she came in as the
defending champion, Vashti | 1:41:39 | 1:41:43 | |
Cunningham, still just 20. Amazing
to think that because she has been | 1:41:43 | 1:41:46 | |
talked about for such a long time.
Silver medal this time. Only, I say | 1:41:46 | 1:41:52 | |
only, clearing 1.93, you'd expect
her to come to a World Indoor | 1:41:52 | 1:41:56 | |
Championships and go a bit higher
than that. But no doubt about the | 1:41:56 | 1:42:01 | |
winner. Authorised neutral athlete
Mariya Lasitskene. The gold medal | 1:42:01 | 1:42:11 | |
continuing what has been a stunning
couple of years for her, world | 1:42:11 | 1:42:16 | |
champion in 2015 and 2017, not
allowed to compete in the Olympic | 1:42:16 | 1:42:21 | |
Games, of course. Morgan Lake's
fourth is the best ever position by | 1:42:21 | 1:42:25 | |
a Brit in this event, the previous
was fifth by Dyah Davis and Debbie | 1:42:25 | 1:42:30 | |
Marti. | 1:42:30 | 1:42:35 | |
-- Diana Davis. | 1:42:45 | 1:42:55 | |
So, no national anthem for
Lasitskene, I think that is the IAAF | 1:43:36 | 1:43:40 | |
hymn, it may have been written by
Seb Coe, not sure. There are your | 1:43:40 | 1:43:45 | |
medallists. The men's high jump to
come shortly and then Laura Muir in | 1:43:45 | 1:43:49 | |
the 3000 metres after that. | 1:43:49 | 1:43:54 | |
the 3000 metres after that. Lots of
Russian athletes will think | 1:43:56 | 1:43:59 | |
themselves lucky they are allowed to
compete with an exemption from the | 1:43:59 | 1:44:02 | |
band but she didn't look
particularly impressed at the IAAF | 1:44:02 | 1:44:05 | |
music playing instead of the Russian
anthem, and it must be a strange | 1:44:05 | 1:44:09 | |
position to be in when you are a
world champion and it's that moment | 1:44:09 | 1:44:13 | |
of your flag and your anthem doesn't
happen. It doesn't but she was | 1:44:13 | 1:44:17 | |
looking for the flags because I
couldn't see them either. They were | 1:44:17 | 1:44:20 | |
at the very far end. She knows the
position. What you can't take away | 1:44:20 | 1:44:25 | |
from her is her incredible unbeaten
run. She is just sensational. I | 1:44:25 | 1:44:32 | |
can't think of another athlete of
the top of my head who has had | 1:44:32 | 1:44:36 | |
such... 38. That was her 30th
unbeaten, consecutive victory. How | 1:44:36 | 1:44:41 | |
long did you,, Michael? 58. No,
whatever! It's at least a big enough | 1:44:41 | 1:44:51 | |
number that we will never know what
it is. Still only half of Ed Moses. | 1:44:51 | 1:44:59 | |
There was 89 in the sprints as well.
She has a long way to go. Yes. This | 1:44:59 | 1:45:07 | |
is her winning jump of 1.96, and of
course at this point she had cleared | 1:45:07 | 1:45:11 | |
everything before her. | 1:45:11 | 1:45:15 | |
What I like about it. She could have
quit, couldn't she. She could have | 1:45:15 | 1:45:19 | |
said, I will do these consistently,
enough to win. I think she wants to | 1:45:19 | 1:45:24 | |
go for that over two metres time and
time again. If you get through every | 1:45:24 | 1:45:32 | |
single competition over two metres
mark that is huge. It gets into the | 1:45:32 | 1:45:35 | |
mindset of your rivals. It doesn't
matter what she will do, she will | 1:45:35 | 1:45:39 | |
always get over that two metres, so
you have to raise your game. She | 1:45:39 | 1:45:43 | |
wants more than that. She's got to.
Two metres consistently, I would say | 1:45:43 | 1:45:49 | |
is nothing, she does it is with such
ease she has to be putting herself | 1:45:49 | 1:45:54 | |
against - OK can I get up to 2.08.
Went to 2.07. She needs those higher | 1:45:54 | 1:46:01 | |
heights to know what 2.10 might
really feel like. When you are | 1:46:01 | 1:46:05 | |
feeling it and you are feeling
confident and things are flowing, | 1:46:05 | 1:46:09 | |
you are executing exactly as you
planned. Which doesn't always | 1:46:09 | 1:46:12 | |
happen, when that is the case you
know this is an opportunity then for | 1:46:12 | 1:46:16 | |
me to achieve maybe a personal best.
That's your opportunity to go for | 1:46:16 | 1:46:19 | |
it. I'm sure somebody will come
along who will push her and push her | 1:46:19 | 1:46:24 | |
and break that consecutive streak at
some point. At the moment there | 1:46:24 | 1:46:28 | |
isn't that kind of rivalry like we
are seeing here with the men, with | 1:46:28 | 1:46:32 | |
Barshim and Lysenko. They have

London when Barshim was the World

on the top podium. Steve Cram. STER
CRAM: He is. We will hear that | 1:46:47 | 1:46:51 | |
anthem again. I knew it wasn't
written by Seb Coe. Just in case you | 1:46:51 | 1:46:58 | |
thought... I was only joke being
that. This men's competition. To | 1:46:58 | 1:47:03 | |
remind you, Robbie Grabarz finishing
in ninth place. Disappointment for | 1:47:03 | 1:47:08 | |
him going out at 2.25. Took three
attempt to get over 2.20. The Iaaf | 1:47:08 | 1:47:20 | |
Vice President, Dahlan Al Hamid. He
will present the medals for this | 1:47:20 | 1:47:25 | |
event. The man who finishes third,
Germany I don't think have ever won | 1:47:25 | 1:47:35 | |
a high jump medal indoors. | 1:47:35 | 1:47:41 | |
a high jump medal indoors. It's his
country's first and his in this | 1:47:41 | 1:47:44 | |
event. Delighted young man. 2.29.
Deseent performance. He thought he | 1:47:44 | 1:47:52 | |
might not get a medal if he clears
2.29. He Detective Inspector have to | 1:47:52 | 1:47:56 | |
go too high to get a medal. The top
two, the two we would have expected | 1:47:56 | 1:48:01 | |
before hand, not necessarily in this
order. | 1:48:01 | 1:48:08 | |
order. -- didn't. His -- he always
has a smiles. | 1:48:08 | 1:48:31 | |
Our champion Danil Lysenko,
authorised neutral athlete. Cleared | 1:48:34 | 1:48:38 | |
of course by Iaaf to compete. So he
will get to hear the Iaaf hymn as | 1:48:38 | 1:48:45 | |
well. Good clearance from him at the
end, wasn't it, 2.36. Good way to | 1:48:45 | 1:48:51 | |
win a good competition between
himself and Barshim. | 1:48:51 | 1:49:01 | |

Silver out doors in London last year | 1:49:56 | 1:50:01 | |
and he's turned that into a Gold
medal and the title of World | 1:50:01 | 1:50:07 | |
Champion, Danil Lysenko. Still just
20 himself as well. He's got a big | 1:50:07 | 1:50:11 | |
future. No doubt these two will be
scrapping over the medals I'm sure | 1:50:11 | 1:50:17 | |
for a few years to come. This time
it's Lysenko who comes out on top. | 1:50:17 | 1:50:28 | |

STUDIO: Morgan Lake finished fourth
in that Women's High Jump | 1:50:51 | 1:50:51 | |
competition. To close to winning her
first major medal on the global | 1:50:51 | 1:50:57 | |
stage. It wasn't to be. We caught up
with her straight afterwards. | 1:50:57 | 1:51:02 | |
Morgan, I heat hate to go in with a
cliche so early. Fourth place, a | 1:51:02 | 1:51:08 | |
bitter place to come? Not a fun
place to come especially being able | 1:51:08 | 1:51:11 | |
to jump the same as silver and
bronze. 1.93 on countback. | 1:51:11 | 1:51:16 | |
Bittersweet moment. How frustrating
was that that ultimately it came to | 1:51:16 | 1:51:21 | |
the countback and it came down to
those first two no-jumps? Yeah. I | 1:51:21 | 1:51:26 | |
was quite nervous at the start. It's
a big occasion. My home champs. I | 1:51:26 | 1:51:32 | |
let it get the best of me. I jumped
85 in warm-up. I knew it was there. | 1:51:32 | 1:51:37 | |
Lucky to get my third attempt to 84
at the beginning. It came came down | 1:51:37 | 1:51:42 | |
to that. Having said all that, after
the two first no-jumps the thoughts | 1:51:42 | 1:51:48 | |
in this stadium were clearly
ominous, you composed yourself and | 1:51:48 | 1:51:52 | |
got it. How did you feel at that
point? I thobg thought I'd knocked. | 1:51:52 | 1:51:57 | |
It I hit it and saw rattle. I said
please, I need luck. I stayed on. | 1:51:57 | 1:52:02 | |
Jumps following that were much
better. I know what part I need to | 1:52:02 | 1:52:06 | |
work on now. Another point when you
cleared 1.93, you were in a ritual, | 1:52:06 | 1:52:12 | |
really talking to yourself. What
were you saying to yourself? I was | 1:52:12 | 1:52:17 | |
going through my run-up and what I
need to do. Making sure I was in the | 1:52:17 | 1:52:20 | |
moment. Taking in the crowd, really.
It's an improvement on your global | 1:52:20 | 1:52:27 | |
successes so far. Yeah. Positives to
take forward to the Commonwealth | 1:52:27 | 1:52:32 | |
Games? Definitely positives.
Season's best and fourth in the | 1:52:32 | 1:52:36 | |
world. Can't complain. Puts me in a
good place going to the Gold Coast | 1:52:36 | 1:52:42 | |
in a couple of weeks. Well done.
Unfortunately fourth. Thank you very | 1:52:42 | 1:52:46 | |
much. But Laura Muir did one better
than her performance in London. She | 1:52:46 | 1:52:53 | |
got amongst the medals. She got a
bronze. This will be a very proud | 1:52:53 | 1:52:58 | |
moment for her and for all of us
watching her progress, Steve Cram. | 1:52:58 | 1:53:03 | |
STEVE | 1:53:03 | 1:53:03 | |
watching her progress, Steve Cram.
STEVE CRAM: it will indeed. A full | 1:53:03 | 1:53:06 | |
set of Scottish medals in the 3000
women indoors. | 1:53:06 | 1:53:16 | |
women indoors. Murray, and McColgan
and Muir has won a bronze. This | 1:53:16 | 1:53:23 | |
tough, tough race. We talk about
greats in our sport. Sifan Hassan | 1:53:23 | 1:53:33 | |
and Genzebe Dibaba are very much in
that bracket. Laura Muir knew that | 1:53:33 | 1:53:39 | |
to win a medal today she to be at
her best, and she was. A tough last | 1:53:39 | 1:53:44 | |
1000 metres. She steps up on the
rostrum at a World Championships for | 1:53:44 | 1:53:51 | |
the first time. European Indoor
Champion last year and a bronze at | 1:53:51 | 1:53:58 | |
the World Indoor Championships. 1500
still to come of course for Laura. | 1:53:58 | 1:54:01 | |
She will be pleased to have picked
something up here. She will be | 1:54:01 | 1:54:06 | |
running against very much, I think
ten of that field will all be | 1:54:06 | 1:54:10 | |
contesting in the 1500 metres,
including the two women who finished | 1:54:10 | 1:54:15 | |
ahead of her. Sifan Hassan.
Sometimes she doesn't give herself a | 1:54:15 | 1:54:18 | |
chance. She was maybe too far back
when Dibaba put her foot down. Did | 1:54:18 | 1:54:23 | |
her best to close the gap. She had
to fight off Laura Muir in the last | 1:54:23 | 1:54:28 | |
20, 30 metres. Another good
performance from the very popular | 1:54:28 | 1:54:34 | |
Dutch athlete. | 1:54:34 | 1:54:41 | |
Our winner, a third World Indoor
title. Just one shy now of the | 1:54:42 | 1:54:51 | |
record in this event. Genzebe Dibaba
of Ethiopia. | 1:54:51 | 1:55:01 | |
of Ethiopia. Had a very
disappointing 2016, but she raced | 1:55:01 | 1:55:03 | |
well so far this indoor season. Not
at her absolute best. Good enough | 1:55:03 | 1:55:07 | |
here. Was helped by Klosterhalfen
taking the pace out hard in the | 1:55:07 | 1:55:13 | |
second 1000 metres. She went harder
over the last 1000 and finish well, | 1:55:13 | 1:55:21 | |
very impressive indeed. | 1:55:21 | 1:55:27 | |
APPLAUSE
Well done Laura Muir. Great start | 1:56:26 | 1:56:28 | |
Forlan her and the British team to
get a medal on the first night. | 1:56:28 | 1:56:32 | |
Medals will be hard to come back in
these World Indoor Championships. | 1:56:32 | 1:56:36 | |
That bronze, I'm sure as the weekend
goes by, we will realise how good | 1:56:36 | 1:56:41 | |
that is. They will be back tomorrow
evening to contest the 1500 heats. | 1:56:41 | 1:56:46 | |
Laura Muir does have Genzebe Dibaba
in her heat tomorrow evening. | 1:56:46 | 1:56:53 | |
Laura Muir does have Genzebe Dibaba

STUDIO: Thank you Steve. A lovely
moment for Laura Muir. Genzebe | 1:56:55 | 1:56:59 | |
Dibaba as well of course. Now a
double world indoor champion. Just | 1:56:59 | 1:57:05 | |
completely dominant, isn't she, over
the distances. She takes on over the | 1:57:05 | 1:57:10 | |
world. Fantastic athlete. A tiny
athlete. How tiny? She had to have a | 1:57:10 | 1:57:14 | |
plastic box to step on to the Gold
medal platform. Nobody else in the | 1:57:14 | 1:57:21 | |
high jump competition needed that,
but they are obviously a much more | 1:57:21 | 1:57:27 | |
petite breed, aren't they, these
middle and distance run runners. | 1:57:27 | 1:57:32 | |
Laura Muir has the 1500 metres to
come as well. Great moment for her. | 1:57:32 | 1:57:36 | |
She will go down and no doubt there
will be massage and some ice | 1:57:36 | 1:57:40 | |
involved. Hopefully, lots of sleep.
We will see her again in action | 1:57:40 | 1:57:45 | |
tomorrow and it will be another
packed day. We have | 1:57:45 | 1:57:49 | |
tomorrow and it will be another
packed day. We have loads of | 1:57:49 | 1:57:51 | |
athletics 9.00am tomorrow morning on
BBC Two. We are on again for the | 1:57:51 | 1:57:55 | |
evening session at 5. 50pm. Almost
ten hours of live athletics for you | 1:57:55 | 1:58:01 | |
