A powerful run. It's her personal
best. All smiles from Katarina | 0:00:51 | 0:00:58 | |
Johnson-Thompson. That's more like
it. What a performance from Katarina | 0:00:58 | 0:01:06 | |
Johnson-Thompson! | 0:01:06 | 0:01:14 | |
Johnson-Thompson! The heat is on. It
should be her time now. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:20 | |
In the next few hours, we shall see
if it is. It's a big night for | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
Britain's Katarina Johnson-Thompson,
going for gold in the pentathlon. If | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
you have not been able to go out
today because of the snow and | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
freezing conditions, stay right
where you are. We have some great | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
action for you over the next four
hours with the likes of Katarina | 0:01:34 | 0:01:39 | |
Johnson-Thompson and last month's
medal winner for Great Britain, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Laura Muir, all in action. A lot of
people have braved conditions to be | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
here this evening. It was supposed
to be a sell-out, but not quite | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
everyone is in their place. But I am
delighted that these three. Greg | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
Rutherford had no choice, he can't
get out of Birmingham! But you | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
always intended to be here because
it is the men's long jump this | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
evening. Denise Lewis and Michael
Dobson are here for what could be a | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
great evening for Katarina
Johnson-Thompson. She has got | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
herself into a great position. Yeah.
The talk before these championships | 0:02:09 | 0:02:16 | |
was, could she deliver on her
potential? Could she mentally hold | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
the pentathlon together and deliver
a performance that justifies her | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
potential? And so far, it's looking
really good. And the long jump | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
final, Greg, you say it's not just
all about one person. No, I think | 0:02:29 | 0:02:36 | |
Lawson has jumped well. He is a fast
athlete and could be one to watch. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:44 | |
And we have the women's 60m. It is
wide open, Michael. It is. There are | 0:02:44 | 0:02:51 | |
a lot of races that these ladies
today. It's going to be exciting. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
Once we get into the semifinals, we
will start to see who emerges as a | 0:02:56 | 0:03:02 | |
potential medallist because that
race is wide open. Well, let's just | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
mark your card as to how your
evening is going to pan out. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:13 | |
As Denise said, Katarina
Johnson-Thompson has left herself in | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
a great position. Here is how her
day unfolded. First up on the track, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:31 | |
we have the 60m hurdles for the
pentathlon. It is all done in one | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
day. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:43 | |
day. Is this an opportunity for
Katarina Johnson-Thompson? | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
Dadic. The medal contender is out. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:06 | |
Rodriguez, last try. That was much
better! That's more like it. She's | 0:05:06 | 0:05:19 | |
in the lead overall. Shot put next.
She moves to the back of the circle. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:35 | |
That is a really big shot put from
Katarina Johnson-Thompson. That is | 0:05:35 | 0:05:41 | |
huge. That is going to make such a
difference to her. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:50 | |
difference to her. Rodriguez, her
final put. That put her into first | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
place.
She looks relieved and this morning | 0:05:55 | 0:06:04 | |
the word was that if she gets
something with a 12, she will put | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
herself in a good position. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
According to our stats expert, who
knows a thing or two, he has | 0:06:23 | 0:06:30 | |
crunched the numbers and if they
both hit their PBs, that is what the | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
outcome would be. She would have
called by some way from Rodriguez. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
There is some room for comfort that.
But obviously, hitting your PB in a | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
major championship is perhaps easier
said than done. But for her, you | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
would think it would be the event
she would want next, the long jump. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
Yeah. She's jumping well again. 6.71
at the trials. She's looking good on | 0:06:53 | 0:07:00 | |
the runway. Does she need to hit
that personal best? I don't think | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
so. She just needs to feel confident
and do what she does best in the | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
long jump. When she is confident,
it's all good. She has had wobbles | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
in the long jump in a major
championship in Beijing. But it's | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
about here, I know what I have got
to do. She has made her first jump, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
which must be a comfort for a long
jumper. Absolutely. We saw that a | 0:07:22 | 0:07:28 | |
lot of people are struggling with
the runway. It is a quick runway, | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
which soon suit Kat. If you tax it,
she could jump big today -- if she | 0:07:32 | 0:07:41 | |
attacks it. As they introduce... I
was about to say the contestants, | 0:07:41 | 0:07:49 | |
but the athletes! As they are
introduced, these women have already | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
been introduced and have to go
through it again. It just ramps up | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
the nerves, doesn't it? But it adds
a bit of razzmatazz to the event, | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
which is nice. We need that. I think
the athletes don't really mind, as | 0:08:00 | 0:08:07 | |
long as they can get through it
quickly and keep their minds in a | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
safe place, this is fine. There was
a big smile on her face just there. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:19 | |
Michael, she must know this is an
event she loves and an event she | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
knows she can do in front of a home
crowd. I'm not sure if you can judge | 0:08:23 | 0:08:31 | |
how Kat is feeling based on what you
see. It goes up and down. She's | 0:08:31 | 0:08:39 | |
pretty cagey when it comes to
showing exactly what she is feeling. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:46 | |
I think you wait and see. Also, her
mood and her emotional state are | 0:08:46 | 0:08:52 | |
somewhat dictated by how she
performs and how the competition is | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
going for her. What we did see which
we don't normally see is the | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
expression of joyous emotion in the
shot put. I talked earlier about how | 0:09:01 | 0:09:07 | |
she could respond to coming into an
event that she hasn't been good at, | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
and that is what she is capable of.
She has the ability. That body | 0:09:11 | 0:09:17 | |
language, the buoyancy you see is
fantastic. That will bode well | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
moving into the long jump. It feels
a long time ago that it all started | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
in the hurdles. They were first out
on the track this morning, those | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
women. Five events in one day is
more than they used to. It is an | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
arduous day but she did the hurdles
this morning. She equalled her | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
season's best. It wasn't as
explosive, perhaps, as you were | 0:09:35 | 0:09:41 | |
hoping, but it was a steady start.
It was steady. She got through it | 0:09:41 | 0:09:47 | |
safely to put herself in contention.
We know she struggles getting out of | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
the blocks with those long levers,
but moving through to the high jump, | 0:09:51 | 0:09:58 | |
we know her capabilities and this
was a great jump, 1.91. She made it | 0:09:58 | 0:10:04 | |
look easy. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:11 | |
look easy. Shame she couldn't get a
few more points, but to do what she | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
did in the shot put, she will have
forgotten that by now. First put, a | 0:10:14 | 0:10:21 | |
new personal best. Look at that
place. I thought it was great. There | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
was a sense of relief, as there is
one athlete has been working and | 0:10:25 | 0:10:33 | |
they the benefits. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
they the benefits. Again, I am
hesitant to try to read into that | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
what it means, because I believe
that based on what we have seen | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
before, it can change in a
heartbeat. So in terms of what she | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
needs to do, she doesn't need a PB.
She doesn't need to be thinking | 0:10:50 | 0:10:56 | |
about what happened before in the
long jump, just focus, as Greg said, | 0:10:56 | 0:11:02 | |
getting a safe jump. That then build
the confidence. We can also see that | 0:11:02 | 0:11:10 | |
she is not dwelling on the fact that
the high jump didn't go as well as | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
she was hoping. It was below par.
But she reacted well in getting a PB | 0:11:12 | 0:11:22 | |
in an event that she is known for
not being that great at. It should | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
give her the confidence to go out
and enjoy an event that she loves | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
doing. 6.93 is her PB indoors for
long jump. There is clear water | 0:11:28 | 0:11:37 | |
between her and Rodriguez. And
Rodriguez has never jumped indoors. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
Kat has a lot of experience. What is
the difference for Rodriguez if she | 0:11:41 | 0:11:49 | |
hasn't jumped indoors? The biggest
thing in an indoor arena is that | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
there is no wind. With the long
jump, it is good to have a bit of a | 0:11:52 | 0:11:58 | |
following wind to give you an
impetus to jump at the end. She will | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
not have that. You are on a raised
board here, so you are not on the | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
solid track that you would be
outdoors. There are real | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
differences. Generally, it suits the
lighter jumpers. But we will see how | 0:12:09 | 0:12:15 | |
she responds. The Cubans are
incredible jumpers, so I expect her | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
to do well. She will be getting
ready to jump shortly in that long | 0:12:17 | 0:12:27 | |
jump competition which is just about
to get under way. Steve Backley will | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
be all over it. I am indeed, Gabby.
It has been a compelling morning for | 0:12:30 | 0:12:39 | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
Hopefully, she is refreshed and | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
rested after three events in that
first morning session. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:53 | |
first morning session. The long jump
is the penultimate event. And it is | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
Erica Bougard of the United States. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
She is carrying a hip injury. No,
that was an infringement. It sounded | 0:13:02 | 0:13:14 | |
OK. Must have been a small foul. She
is saying it was just beyond the | 0:13:14 | 0:13:22 | |
legal limit. Crikey, that is about
as close as you get without a foul. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:29 | |
Greg Rutherford was talking about
this. Katarina Johnson-Thompson will | 0:13:29 | 0:13:35 | |
want to get a good jump in. That was
not valid for Erica Bougard. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:44 | |
There is the line-up for the first
of the five heats. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:53 | |
of the five heats. There has been a
slight redraw in this one. Silence | 0:13:54 | 0:14:01 | |
inside the arena. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
inside the arena. This should be a
good race. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:15 | |
Boons has set a new personal best
this season. Andrea Vargas of Costa | 0:14:24 | 0:14:32 | |
Rica in three. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
Watch for Neziri, the Finnish
athlete. She is alongside Nelvis, | 0:14:53 | 0:15:01 | |
who heads this very strong American
contingent in the women's hurdles. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
They have the three quickest times.
So the United States could form a | 0:15:06 | 0:15:14 | |
clean sweep here. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:23 | |
Eefje Boons, Andrea Vargas, Sharika
Nelvis, Nooralotta Neziri, Elizabeth | 0:15:30 | 0:15:36 | |
El Torito, Stephanie Bendrat. Four
to go to automatically. A good start | 0:15:36 | 0:15:46 | |
by Veronica Borsi. Through comes
Sharika Nelvis. Looking very | 0:15:46 | 0:15:52 | |
comfortable. 7.97 for Sharika
Nelvis. And in fact it is a Elisavet | 0:15:52 | 0:16:03 | |
Pesiridou of Greece who is down, the
last barrier her undoing. A | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
demonstration of what can go wrong
in the hurdles. And Elisavet | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
Pesiridou might have been expected
to come through, but Sharika Nelvis | 0:16:11 | 0:16:16 | |
avoiding such pitfalls, and she is
through to the semifinals. Take us | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
through this. Eefje Boons can be
difficult for some athletes, | 0:16:21 | 0:16:28 | |
especially burglars, because you get
a trampoline effect and, if you are | 0:16:28 | 0:16:35 | |
not used to that, running
consistently on these boards, it can | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
be tricky, and that is what happened
to the Greek lady. But Sharika | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
Nelvis is quality. I think she will
be looking forward to encountering | 0:16:41 | 0:16:49 | |
her fellow countryman later. 7.90
seven. It looks great. A great start | 0:16:49 | 0:16:56 | |
by Stephanie Bendrat, who has been
going so well this season. She just | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
clipped the barrier, but Sharika
Nelvis was going so well. Contrast | 0:17:01 | 0:17:08 | |
macro -- a contrast to Glasgow, but
totally in control here, cruising | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
through dress up eight second
performance, looking comfortable. -- | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
through to a below eight second.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson looking | 0:17:16 | 0:17:22 | |
forward to her first long jump,
penultimate event in the Pentax | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
long. At the moment, she is in
second place, 13 points behind | 0:17:27 | 0:17:33 | |
Rodriguez, the Cuban. But this is an
event where she can dominate, she | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
can definitely get back into the
lead, and she would expect to. And | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
possibly she'd expect to get some
daylight between her and the rest of | 0:17:40 | 0:17:48 | |
the world season's best personal
best, something in excess of 6.50 | 0:17:48 | 0:17:54 | |
would be great. It's a good jump.
Waiting to see the white flag. It | 0:17:54 | 0:18:00 | |
is. Look at that, a really good
start. In and around 6.5 metres. Was | 0:18:00 | 0:18:08 | |
that a shake of the head? Good
effort. She should be pleased, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
controlled the runway really well,
didn't lengthen like sometimes, | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
plenty of room. Rate start. -- great
start. Her coach looking on, 6.50 | 0:18:15 | 0:18:25 | |
exactly, a really good start. With
Rodriguez to go next, and Ivona | 0:18:25 | 0:18:32 | |
Dadic a couple points behind, she
needs to marker out and put pressure | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
on the other girls. That's what she
done, because Rodriguez's PB is just | 0:18:37 | 0:18:44 | |
6.29 from this year. Can she
respond? It's around the six-metre | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
mark, way down on Johnson Thompson,
and it's a foul. So Rodriguez, the | 0:18:49 | 0:19:01 | |
leader, a foul in the first round,
under the pressure. She wouldn't | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
have wanted that. The tiniest of
margins, just drifting. But now | 0:19:04 | 0:19:13 | |
Katarina is settled, she's got 6.50
in the bank, it's up to the other | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
girls to put the marker down. Kat
can now build on that. She is in the | 0:19:17 | 0:19:23 | |
driving seat, exactly what you want
in the first round. Ivona Dadic of | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
Russia, in third place coming into
this long jump. Season best of 6.35, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:33 | |
so down on Johnson Thompson also in
her best effort. Somewhere just over | 0:19:33 | 0:19:40 | |
six metres for Ivona Dadic, as we
come towards the end of this first | 0:19:40 | 0:19:45 | |
round of jumping. Only three jumps
for each competitor, and then just | 0:19:45 | 0:19:50 | |
the 800 metres to come. Just the
celebrating -- decelerating into the | 0:19:50 | 0:19:58 | |
board. She got an indoor best of
6.21 and she has jumped 6.22 this | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
year. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:09 | |
year. 6.29 for Ivona Dadic, that's
good, that's solid, it keeps her | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
pursuit of a medal on course. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:22 | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson will feel,
I imagine, pretty good about that | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
opening jump. What's it like, when
you see the white flag and you know | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |
you've nailed a solid jump which has
given you a good amount of points? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:37 | |
Gilles Villeneuve couldn't.
Absolutely, and looking at Kat's | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
jump, technically very sound. If she
has more pressure, she will propel | 0:20:40 | 0:20:47 | |
herself to a bigger one. She has a
lovely upright position through the | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
air, no rotation. If she really put
some mustard on that, she will go | 0:20:50 | 0:20:55 | |
far today, I think. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:01 | |
far today, I think. What are you
seeing from the other girls, | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
Rodriguez and Dadic? Rodriguez
getting a red flag, so she will feel | 0:21:05 | 0:21:11 | |
a bit on edge, knowing she's got to
pull one out of the bag. And you | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
said Dadic was a bit on her toes.
She's coming in in a plant or flex | 0:21:15 | 0:21:22 | |
position, breaking before she has a
chance to take off, so she's | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
elongate in her foot and not getting
underneath herself, not striking | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
underneath her hips to give herself
a catalyst to really push off the | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
board and jump far, and it is
because they are forcing it more, | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
desperate to get a distance out
there to get close to Kat, and | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
because of that they are making
mistakes they shouldn't make. The | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
other risk, with your foot out, is
there is a chance of injury. Let's | 0:21:44 | 0:21:50 | |
get back out there but for the
second heat of the women's 60 | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
hurdles.
This second heat, fairly | 0:21:53 | 0:21:59 | |
straightforward qualification, but
what a moment for Megan Marrs, a | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
city of Lisbon athlete, Loughborough
student at the moment, and a long | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
time since somebody from Northern
Ireland represented the British team | 0:22:06 | 0:22:12 | |
in the championships. In fact, her
mum competed in the European indoors | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
in 1988 she will be up against
Christina Manning, one of the | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
favourites in this event. We've just
seen Sharika Nelvis looking calm and | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
straightforward qualifications, 7.90
seven. An experienced Austrian, | 0:22:25 | 0:22:33 | |
Beate Schrott. There she is, she has
set six personal best in my | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
reckoning this season, huge
improvement, she didn't like the | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
qualifying time set by British
athletics, which I'll explain in a | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
minute. Andrea Grant Jovic, Isabelle
Pedersen Norway. A former junior | 0:22:45 | 0:22:51 | |
champion. Yes Megan Marrs, the IAAF,
once countries have put their | 0:22:51 | 0:22:59 | |
entries in, have a chance to draw
further down the entries list, and | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
they sent individual invites. She is
a pay against one of the best in the | 0:23:03 | 0:23:12 | |
world, Christina Manning. -- she is
up against. She missed out on a | 0:23:12 | 0:23:17 | |
medal last year at the World
Championships. Not by much. And | 0:23:17 | 0:23:22 | |
Kendra Harrison is yet to go, from
the USA, with three great 60-metre | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |
hurdlers. Four to go through. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:42 | |
Christina Manning got out well. It
is Christina Manning and Isabelle | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
Pedersen. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:53 | |
Pedersen. Andrea Ivancevic taking
third. I reckon Megan Marrs might | 0:23:55 | 0:23:56 | |
have got this fifth or sixth. Colin
is screwing his face up, going, you | 0:23:56 | 0:24:03 | |
got that wrong, Steve. We'll sort it
out. We are heading for a USA one, | 0:24:03 | 0:24:11 | |
two, three, we? Possibly, but I'm
sure that others will have something | 0:24:11 | 0:24:16 | |
to say about that. It seems to be a
good place for her. But Pedersen | 0:24:16 | 0:24:23 | |
from Denmark, we know her quality.
We've seen her many times on the | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
circuit, but now another
opportunity. Christina Manning from | 0:24:28 | 0:24:34 | |
the United States, she got the
invite here because she won the | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
indoor tour, she just missed out on
automatic selection for the US | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
championships, but she finished
third in that, incredibly fast time. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
For me, she is a person you need to
watch out for, because she is more | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
than capable of producing a red-hot
performance. Eline Berings got the | 0:24:52 | 0:24:59 | |
fourth spot. Looking at Megan Marrs,
a huge moment for her, she couldn't | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
have begun the season thinking she'd
compete at the world indoor | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
championships. And massive moment,
up against people she's watched on | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
the screen for many years, and she
can't believe she is warming up | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
alongside them. A good opportunity
to experience what it's like. She | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
ended up in six, in 8.28. She will
go home and be happy with it. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:27 | |
Christina Manning, watching her
back, you seemed to slow down at the | 0:25:27 | 0:25:32 | |
end so comfortably through. Yeah, I
just want to get everything going on | 0:25:32 | 0:25:40 | |
and that's what I did. You had a
massive performance in last weekend | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
to secure your place through a wild
card. What's it's been like | 0:25:43 | 0:25:48 | |
preparing at the last minute and
getting ready for this? We've been | 0:25:48 | 0:25:54 | |
preparing for this all year, you
know. It doesn't really feel | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
last-minute. When I didn't make the
US team, I was like, I'm going to | 0:25:56 | 0:26:02 | |
win Glasgow and make that team, so
I've been preparing since the | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
beginning of the season. The US team
is so incredible, you came third in | 0:26:05 | 0:26:11 | |
the trials with an incredible trial
and still didn't make the team. How | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
much is that helped to push your
performances, knowing that your | 0:26:14 | 0:26:19 | |
compatriots are so good? It pushes
me every time because you want to be | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
the best, and I am competing against
the best. I go out there I go after | 0:26:23 | 0:26:29 | |
it every time. Fantastic. Thank you
for speaking to us. Of luck later. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
Thank you. -- best of luck.
A nice performance, and what a way | 0:26:33 | 0:26:41 | |
to keep the draft of your neck,
earrings with pom-poms on pigs | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
Christina Manning looking good, and
it personal best from Pedersen. -- | 0:26:45 | 0:26:52 | |
earrings with pom-poms on them.
Christina Manning looking good. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:58 | |
The US champion, Erica Bougard, has
been pushed out of the medals, the | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
US champion, but there is a foul in
the first round of the long jump. We | 0:27:06 | 0:27:12 | |
are into the second round, Erica
Bougard looking to make amends. Big | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
acceleration. It's around the
six-metre mark. It's a good job. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:21 | |
Valid jump, at least. She
accelerated into the board, like you | 0:27:21 | 0:27:27 | |
should, but she didn't really get
across it. Her hips went back early, | 0:27:27 | 0:27:32 | |
the head comes down, and she comes
in for an early landing. More like a | 0:27:32 | 0:27:37 | |
forward somersault. You need to keep
your body upright and fly deeper | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
into the pit. A bit forced, still in
fourth place. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:48 | |
Somewhere in Texas or California,
there is a conveyor belt, and | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
American women hurdlers just come
off it. You are such good hurdlers. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:58 | |
There is always somebody else coming
to bolster it. You've got a world | 0:27:58 | 0:28:03 | |
record-holder, and it's not enough,
it could be two, three. Bidgood, and | 0:28:03 | 0:28:09 | |
you are right, there are so many
hurdlers, and it's not it's an event | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
everybody does. Not everybody does
it. It's a difficult event. There is | 0:28:12 | 0:28:19 | |
just a tradition over the years. You
think back, Gail Devers, amazing | 0:28:19 | 0:28:25 | |
hurdler, and it's always been that
way but it's very competitive at the | 0:28:25 | 0:28:30 | |
NCAA level, and I think they push
one another, and it breeds a | 0:28:30 | 0:28:36 | |
fantastic group of athletes.
Christina Manning the latest one of | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
those. Let's get back out to the
long jump with Steve Backley. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:45 | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson really
solid in the first round, 6.50, and | 0:28:45 | 0:28:50 | |
the good news for her is that the
competitors are faltering. I think | 0:28:50 | 0:28:56 | |
you are right. She has cemented
herself in that position. I'm not | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
sure the opposition can respond.
Rodriguez's best indoors is 6.29. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:04 | |
It's up to Kat to express herself
and get the biggest other she can | 0:29:04 | 0:29:11 | |
going into the 800 metres so she
doesn't have to run too fast. A new | 0:29:11 | 0:29:17 | |
role this year, 30 seconds for the
horizontal jumps and throws, and her | 0:29:17 | 0:29:24 | |
clock has begun. She has to start
the run up before it gets to zero. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:29 | |
Johnson Thompson, round two, to back
up that 6.50 first round ever. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:34 | |
Cheering from the crowd. Thumbs up,
Tony. I think it's exactly the same. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:40 | |
She might have a few more
centimetres. Drifted off. She puts | 0:29:40 | 0:29:45 | |
her foot across herself, but she is
controlling the runway. It isn't | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
overextending. Drifting a bit, but
that's fine. | 0:29:49 | 0:30:00 | |
that's fine. 6.43 for Kat, backing
it up. No improvement, but she | 0:30:00 | 0:30:04 | |
stayed out in front. The only
athlete who can really threaten is | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
Rodriguez. But has that foul...? She
looks a bit anxious, knowing that | 0:30:08 | 0:30:18 | |
she really needs to get one in here
to take the pressure off. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:25 | |
That is not enough. It is a legal
jump, which maintains her movement | 0:30:28 | 0:30:36 | |
towards the podium. However, she
overrotates and doesn't get across | 0:30:36 | 0:30:41 | |
the board. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:46 | |
the board. She has a lifetime best
of 6.29m. This is 6.15, pushes her | 0:30:47 | 0:30:55 | |
into third place. Going well for
Johnson-Thompson. Onto the third | 0:30:55 | 0:31:03 | |
heat in the 60m hurdles, which
includes another athlete from Great | 0:31:03 | 0:31:11 | |
Britain, who goes in lane one. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:23 | |
Marilyn Nwawulor got the qualifying
time in Belgium last month. She is a | 0:31:43 | 0:31:48 | |
multi-eventer. We have been talking
about the crossover from heptathlon | 0:31:48 | 0:31:53 | |
and pentathlon to hurdling.
Alongside her, the Romanian. Talking | 0:31:53 | 0:32:00 | |
about who might challenge the
Americans, the German athlete is in | 0:32:00 | 0:32:05 | |
lane three. This is the third of
five heats in the women's 60m | 0:32:05 | 0:32:11 | |
hurdles. Cleanly away. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:22 | |
hurdles. Cleanly away. Charlton of
the Bahamas goes swiftly. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:30 | |
the Bahamas goes swiftly. She was
flying in lane eight. A good run by | 0:32:30 | 0:32:34 | |
Visser as well, but it was Charlton
who sneaked it on the line. We will | 0:32:34 | 0:32:40 | |
keep an eye on the time of Marilyn
Nwawulor in lane one. I think | 0:32:40 | 0:32:47 | |
Charlton has taken that. A good race
and a season's best time for | 0:32:47 | 0:32:57 | |
Charlton. Someone is very excited in
the crowd. But a good run from | 0:32:57 | 0:33:03 | |
Charlton. Yeah, you're right. In the
middle, you can sneak away without | 0:33:03 | 0:33:11 | |
anyone noticing you, and that is
what she did. When you are as | 0:33:11 | 0:33:18 | |
competent a hurdle as that, there is
no need to panic. Just do your | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
stuff. And that is exactly what she
did McCain through comfortably to | 0:33:22 | 0:33:28 | |
take the second position. Looking at
Marilyn Nwawulor, she was given a | 0:33:28 | 0:33:34 | |
time of 8.22, so the two who are not
the automatic qualifiers here are | 0:33:34 | 0:33:39 | |
the two fastest losers at the
moment. So it is not a bad run. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:45 | |
Yeah, it's clean and aggressive. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:52 | |
Yeah, it's clean and aggressive. It
was a good, solid run. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:58 | |
We are getting towards the end of
the second round in this long jump | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
pentathlon. Ivona Dadic, 6.29 in the
first round. Ran much better than | 0:34:21 | 0:34:33 | |
her first round. She gets a white
flag, but she is bending on the | 0:34:33 | 0:34:38 | |
board. As she puts her foot in, the
need buckle is a bit. She turns her | 0:34:38 | 0:34:44 | |
head back in take-off, so you are
not carrying the speed across the | 0:34:44 | 0:34:48 | |
board, which is what you need to do.
Ivona Dadic at the moment is the one | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
who can really challenge. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:59 | |
who can really challenge. But she is
not a better 800m runner. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:05 | |
A clumsy effort for Nana Djimou. Not
really getting the speed. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:24 | |
really getting the speed. She
doesn't really complete the | 0:35:24 | 0:35:25 | |
take-off. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:30 | |
Harrison is going in the next heat
in the 60m hurdles, another | 0:35:46 | 0:35:50 | |
phenomenal pergola. Michael, the
world-record holder has had a mixed | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
bag. She didn't qualify for Rio and
didn't make it to the top three in | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
US trials. She finished outside the
medals in London as well. She to | 0:35:57 | 0:36:02 | |
feel that her time, she is one of
those people who you would not | 0:36:02 | 0:36:08 | |
begrudge being on the top of the
heap here. Right, but just because | 0:36:08 | 0:36:13 | |
you are the world record-holder,
doesn't mean that you are an amazing | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
competitor. That is what she had to
work on. She had to work on her | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
competitiveness and the ability to
deliver those impressive | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
performances that she is capable of
when it counts, knowing that she is | 0:36:23 | 0:36:27 | |
the favourite. That seems to have
been a problem for her over the last | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
few years. It will be interesting to
see what she does here. This is an | 0:36:31 | 0:36:36 | |
opportunity for her to get a global
medal. Interesting to say that, | 0:36:36 | 0:36:40 | |
given that she is the world
record-holder, with no global | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
metals. It is not only in the UK
that there is that problem. We have | 0:36:43 | 0:36:47 | |
that problem in the US as well. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:53 | |
It is interesting that you say that,
because there is room for so many | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
things to go wrong with the hurdles
that if you can't make it through | 0:37:02 | 0:37:05 | |
the rounds, you will be punished at
some point. You will be, but that is | 0:37:05 | 0:37:12 | |
not something you would expect from
Harrison here. She is such a | 0:37:12 | 0:37:16 | |
beautiful hurdler to watch, very
aggressive and dynamic. It is just | 0:37:16 | 0:37:20 | |
that mental chink in her armour
which will be the difference at the | 0:37:20 | 0:37:25 | |
final, should be get there with her.
That will be the front and whether | 0:37:25 | 0:37:30 | |
she gets that global title or not.
Let's see how the journey goes Cram. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:37 | |
So, Harrison is in the middle in
lane four. They are not losing lane | 0:37:37 | 0:37:41 | |
one indeed heats. It is fairly
straightforward for the better | 0:37:41 | 0:37:45 | |
athletes. They want to make sure
nothing untoward happens. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:59 | |
This is Kozak of Hungary. The
21-year-old is having a good season. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:19 | |
Then Harrison. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:30 | |
Ziketh from Ivory Coast. Plotitsyna
is another veteran, fourth in the | 0:38:34 | 0:38:39 | |
European indoor Championships last
year. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:47 | |
year. Lindsey Lindley from Nigeria
and there is Angela Whyte. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:56 | |
and there is Angela Whyte. Megan
Marrs only just missed out as the | 0:38:56 | 0:38:58 | |
fastest loser. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:03 | |
This and one more heat to come.
Sally Pearson is in the next one. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:27 | |
We have already had five women under
eight seconds. My start from | 0:39:28 | 0:39:34 | |
Harrison. Look at the speed, this is
going to be super quick. Whoa, 7.78! | 0:39:34 | 0:39:49 | |
An absolute field between her and
the rest. We have had the others | 0:39:49 | 0:39:55 | |
easing back and taking it easy going
through. Kendra Harrison, showing | 0:39:55 | 0:39:59 | |
what she is capable of. That was
very quick indeed. She just didn't | 0:39:59 | 0:40:03 | |
slow down, did she? Like she had a
bus to catch or something. Maybe | 0:40:03 | 0:40:11 | |
want to get back to the hotel. There
was certainly an exceptional | 0:40:11 | 0:40:17 | |
performance. Let's have a look
again. Steve, you will remember that | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
there is not alone in the race for
these women today, so she can | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
happily blast her way through, have
a feel of the track, see if she's | 0:40:24 | 0:40:28 | |
feeling comfortable. Just practise
everything, there is nothing wrong | 0:40:28 | 0:40:34 | |
with that. Really strong and
aggressive out of the blocks. If you | 0:40:34 | 0:40:38 | |
remember London last year, she
smashed into the first barrier and | 0:40:38 | 0:40:41 | |
that caused her a problem early on.
So she's brushing off all the | 0:40:41 | 0:40:46 | |
cobwebs, getting the journey out of
the way, making sure her technique | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
is solid as she prepares for the
following rounds. They will be the | 0:40:49 | 0:40:54 | |
crucial ones. Kendra, that was a
massive performance, particularly | 0:40:54 | 0:41:00 | |
for a semifinal. Yeah, the goal was
to come out and run each run as if | 0:41:00 | 0:41:05 | |
it's the final. You have massive
competition from your own | 0:41:05 | 0:41:10 | |
compatriots in the USA alone. What
sort of signal do you think that | 0:41:10 | 0:41:14 | |
lays down? I am sure they are not
worried about me. But we are going | 0:41:14 | 0:41:18 | |
to put on a great show and there
will be faster times to come. Do you | 0:41:18 | 0:41:25 | |
think we are going to see a 1-2-3?
With us Americans, I think so. Well, | 0:41:25 | 0:41:34 | |
two things to talk about in the
result. One is that 7.77. And the | 0:41:34 | 0:41:44 | |
fastest losers will go through at
the moment. It means that Nwawulor | 0:41:44 | 0:41:49 | |
is still hanging on by her
fingertips. But there is one more | 0:41:49 | 0:41:55 | |
heat to come. Katarina
Johnson-Thompson has a really | 0:41:55 | 0:42:02 | |
healthy buffer at the end of this
long jump going into the last event | 0:42:02 | 0:42:05 | |
of the pentathlon, get hundred
metres. We have been doing the maths | 0:42:05 | 0:42:10 | |
with Tony Minnich yellow. We think
she has a lead of around what would | 0:42:10 | 0:42:15 | |
equate to six metres, four seconds
over Dadic in the 800m. But she does | 0:42:15 | 0:42:19 | |
have one more jump. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:27 | |
have one more jump. So that is a
four second buffer we are talking | 0:42:27 | 0:42:32 | |
about in the 800m. But she can
extend that | 0:42:32 | 0:42:38 | |
about in the 800m. But she can
extend that. There is good | 0:42:38 | 0:42:39 | |
camaraderie between the
multi-eventer 's. Johnson-Thompson | 0:42:39 | 0:42:45 | |
is capable of putting it out of
reach here. Last jump. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:54 | |
reach here. Last jump. That looks
much better. Seemed to carry the | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |
speed across the board there.
Fingers crossed. She's not happy | 0:42:59 | 0:43:03 | |
with it, but I figured more points,
and that is what you want. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:11 | |
So no change. However, this athlete
can make a huge difference here, | 0:43:25 | 0:43:30 | |
because Dadic is currently in second
place, with Rodriguez in the bronze | 0:43:30 | 0:43:37 | |
medal position. But she can close it
down. At the moment, she is 100 | 0:43:37 | 0:43:42 | |
points behind Kat Johnson-Thompson.
And that is worth about six seconds | 0:43:42 | 0:43:51 | |
over 800m. So if you can visualise
that, what is that? About 40 metres. | 0:43:51 | 0:44:01 | |
Now, the official has stopped her so
that we can do the presentations for | 0:44:06 | 0:44:12 | |
the 60m hurdles. She was ready to
go, and now she has to wait. That is | 0:44:12 | 0:44:17 | |
not fair. It is not fair if you are
composed and ready to go. That is | 0:44:17 | 0:44:23 | |
major champs. That is what you have
got to put up with. So Rodriguez had | 0:44:23 | 0:44:28 | |
to compose herself here, stay
focused. Until that code is removed, | 0:44:28 | 0:44:34 | |
the clock will not start. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:40 | |
the clock will not start. Ah, the
cone has been removed and the | 0:44:42 | 0:44:44 | |
sweeping is complete. The runway is
clear. Rodriguez of Cuba, currently | 0:44:44 | 0:44:50 | |
in bronze medal position. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:56 | |
in bronze medal position. She is
looking to improve on 6.15... There | 0:44:59 | 0:45:02 | |
is a red flag. We shouldn't
celebrate, but she did slow down | 0:45:02 | 0:45:10 | |
into the board and went straight up
into the air, trying really hard. I | 0:45:10 | 0:45:15 | |
think she knows. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:20 | |
She put her foot into the
plasticine. One more athlete to go, | 0:45:21 | 0:45:26 | |
Dadic. Johnson Thompson has really
controlled this competition. Maybe | 0:45:26 | 0:45:34 | |
not jumped as far as she would have
hoped, but she has performed | 0:45:34 | 0:45:38 | |
superbly and put the pressure on,
and the pressure has shown. | 0:45:38 | 0:45:42 | |
Rodriguez faltering slightly. So
it's only really Dadic who can close | 0:45:42 | 0:45:48 | |
that gap of four seconds or so, the
equivalent in the 800 metres. Last | 0:45:48 | 0:45:54 | |
chance for Dadic to move closer to
Katarina Johnson-Thompson. She | 0:45:54 | 0:46:01 | |
throws her head back again. Is it a
bit further, looking at that? White | 0:46:01 | 0:46:06 | |
flag. Identical jobs in the first
two rounds, both 6.29. It is not | 0:46:06 | 0:46:14 | |
same again, is it? Looking at her
face, it might be a bit better. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:23 | |
6.40. She's closed the gap. We will
update you with the equivalent | 0:46:23 | 0:46:27 | |
points, but it's a season best for
Dadic. It makes the difference about | 0:46:27 | 0:46:32 | |
two seconds. However, Katarina
Johnson-Thompson is a better | 0:46:32 | 0:46:38 | |
800-metre runner by about two to
three seconds. Ladies and gentlemen, | 0:46:38 | 0:46:46 | |
stay in your seats! It's going to be
good. The athletes for the next heat | 0:46:46 | 0:46:52 | |
in the women's 60 metres hurdles
have had their introduction. Sally | 0:46:52 | 0:46:56 | |
Pearson, a big roar from the crowd a
moment ago. World champion, former | 0:46:56 | 0:47:01 | |
Olympic champion, she has won this
title before. It's all about the | 0:47:01 | 0:47:07 | |
Gold Coast, the Commonwealth Games
for her this year. She could | 0:47:07 | 0:47:10 | |
challenge the Americans this year.
So to record low of Germany. -- | 0:47:10 | 0:47:17 | |
Ricarda Lobe. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:21 | |
You'd expect as well, with a quality | 0:47:27 | 0:47:34 | |
line-up, that one of the fastest
losers' lead might be under threat. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:43 | |
A good start by Pearson. Already a
long way clear of the rest. Amusan | 0:47:43 | 0:47:51 | |
going strongly, and she speaks it at
the line. She takes it from Sally | 0:47:51 | 0:47:56 | |
Pearson, 7.95. A good run by the
Nigerian, just 20, but she has run | 0:47:56 | 0:48:02 | |
so well on the American college
scene. A student at the University | 0:48:02 | 0:48:07 | |
of Texas, and Amusan, not an
American, but she runs and she has | 0:48:07 | 0:48:11 | |
that fierce competition in the
United States, and a very good run | 0:48:11 | 0:48:15 | |
to take it just ahead Sally Pearson.
It was an interesting race all | 0:48:15 | 0:48:20 | |
around. Sally blasted out of the
blocks, as we normally see her do, | 0:48:20 | 0:48:27 | |
and I expected her to ease away from
the rest of the field, but Amusan | 0:48:27 | 0:48:31 | |
came through strong, a lovely, nice
and rangy athlete. Have a look at | 0:48:31 | 0:48:36 | |
Sally Pearson, right in the centre.
Amusan to the right, our left. Sally | 0:48:36 | 0:48:40 | |
working hard. Look how mice and
controlled Amusan is. She rolled off | 0:48:40 | 0:48:47 | |
these barriers well. She hits the
ground and charges the line. Does | 0:48:47 | 0:48:52 | |
enough to take victory. No sign of
any easing off from Sally Pearson, | 0:48:52 | 0:48:57 | |
so take an fair square by Amusan.
The focus for Sally Pearson is very | 0:48:57 | 0:49:03 | |
much on the Gold Coast, and it's all
about the Commonwealth Games for | 0:49:03 | 0:49:06 | |
her, she lives and trains there, but
slightly concerning signs for her | 0:49:06 | 0:49:11 | |
chances it, overhauled by Amusan in
that way will stop interesting how | 0:49:11 | 0:49:16 | |
that happened. Tomorrow will be be
telling day for them. They have to | 0:49:16 | 0:49:19 | |
step up. Looking of the others, a
talented Belarussian athlete, Alina | 0:49:19 | 0:49:30 | |
Talay, she came through well. I
think she had a problem with the | 0:49:30 | 0:49:35 | |
second barrier, going a bit higher
than necessarily, and then she | 0:49:35 | 0:49:39 | |
snapped herself in, got back into
the focus. How much running she has | 0:49:39 | 0:49:42 | |
left, tomorrow will be key. Yes, the
semifinals around about this time | 0:49:42 | 0:49:50 | |
tomorrow, they kick off the evening
session, and those four will be | 0:49:50 | 0:49:54 | |
through, Amusan, Pearson, Alina
Talay and Karolina Koleczek. | 0:49:54 | 0:50:08 | |
So, Katarina Johnson-Thompson did
exactly what she needed to do in | 0:50:09 | 0:50:13 | |
that long jump competition, and the
way she approached her first job was | 0:50:13 | 0:50:17 | |
so crucial to get herself a clean
jump, to get herself a good | 0:50:17 | 0:50:23 | |
distance, Denise, but then to
compose herself throughout and set | 0:50:23 | 0:50:25 | |
that standard to the rest of the
field. You felt there was a | 0:50:25 | 0:50:30 | |
nervousness, especially with
Rodriguez. She needed to establish | 0:50:30 | 0:50:31 | |
herself and say, listen, you all
know this is my best event, but I'm | 0:50:31 | 0:50:36 | |
here to do business, and she did it.
6.50, hoping for a bit more, and she | 0:50:36 | 0:50:42 | |
seemed to want to push it a bit, but
we talked about how consistent she | 0:50:42 | 0:50:45 | |
has been for those three jumps. It's
really good. And should put pressure | 0:50:45 | 0:50:52 | |
on the other athletes. But Dadic,
who Tony tipped as one of his | 0:50:52 | 0:50:56 | |
favourites, you can see why she is
there and fighting for a medal. She | 0:50:56 | 0:51:01 | |
is so consistent and able to pull
things out of the bag when you least | 0:51:01 | 0:51:05 | |
expect her to. A season 's best is
what you want in those moments, and | 0:51:05 | 0:51:09 | |
she is one of Tony's stars of the
future across the championships, and | 0:51:09 | 0:51:13 | |
it looks like she has a great
competitive head. We knew it | 0:51:13 | 0:51:18 | |
wouldn't be a strong bed for
Rodriguez, not the strongest. No, | 0:51:18 | 0:51:22 | |
but strange because the Cubans are
usually very good long jumpers, so | 0:51:22 | 0:51:26 | |
interesting that she struggles with
it, but I think they could all look | 0:51:26 | 0:51:30 | |
at Kat and see how to structure a
runway in order to make those jobs | 0:51:30 | 0:51:36 | |
consistent, because Kat was building
through the run, getting up to speed | 0:51:36 | 0:51:39 | |
when she needed to, taking the ball
towards the end in order to get the | 0:51:39 | 0:51:43 | |
same point on the board. The others
worry that all over the place, quite | 0:51:43 | 0:51:47 | |
a lot of fouls, people struggling
with the boards, as people do here, | 0:51:47 | 0:51:51 | |
and I think a lot of good work on
that runway. Bizarrely, they had two | 0:51:51 | 0:51:56 | |
identical jumps, both of them. This
was her third jump. Look at this. | 0:51:56 | 0:52:05 | |
was her third jump. Look at this. At
this point, Kat is in a scenario | 0:52:05 | 0:52:07 | |
where she can let it go a bit, and
Tony noticed it, pushing a bit | 0:52:07 | 0:52:11 | |
harder on the runway. Look at the
way she's landed in the sand. You | 0:52:11 | 0:52:16 | |
can read an awful lot from landing
in the sand, it's like reading tea | 0:52:16 | 0:52:20 | |
leaves in cups. You can see where
people are going wrong. Her slight, | 0:52:20 | 0:52:25 | |
what you want to do is your heels
come together, and your bum goes | 0:52:25 | 0:52:29 | |
past and it's quite similar, but
quite a difference with Kat. Her | 0:52:29 | 0:52:34 | |
right leg seems to be sweeping
earlier, and she is losing a bit on | 0:52:34 | 0:52:37 | |
that. She needs to look at that and,
if she can get them all nailed and | 0:52:37 | 0:52:41 | |
even, it's a big amount of distance
she can gain. And these are | 0:52:41 | 0:52:46 | |
heptathlete. You are talking about
finite details as a jumper. But | 0:52:46 | 0:52:52 | |
juggling all five events, and
generally if seven, it's about | 0:52:52 | 0:52:56 | |
division of your time. You want to
spend more time working on your | 0:52:56 | 0:53:02 | |
runway, because that delivers
consistency, but the menu shy, you | 0:53:02 | 0:53:05 | |
don't have time to do it. I was
thinking about that, within the | 0:53:05 | 0:53:09 | |
pentathlon, that would seem to be
the most difficult event, the long | 0:53:09 | 0:53:13 | |
jump, because there is so much you
can get wrong with the run-up, and | 0:53:13 | 0:53:17 | |
we saw that today, and in the
heptathlon Kat has got it wrong | 0:53:17 | 0:53:20 | |
before. Maybe there is a case for
doing work there, not so much so you | 0:53:20 | 0:53:27 | |
can get more distant but so you can
be more consistent, because it seems | 0:53:27 | 0:53:32 | |
like it pushes people out of the
medals. You are talking about when | 0:53:32 | 0:53:37 | |
Kat has got it wrong, and we are
talking about a centimetre, you | 0:53:37 | 0:53:42 | |
know? For consistency, what she
normally has on the runway, she has | 0:53:42 | 0:53:45 | |
been a world civil medallist, so she
knows to long jump. It might have | 0:53:45 | 0:53:48 | |
been that little bit of detail. --
she has been a world | 0:53:48 | 0:53:54 | |
silver-medallist. She is a good long
jumper, so unwell with -- on one | 0:53:54 | 0:53:59 | |
level you can break it down more
than with some of the other events, | 0:53:59 | 0:54:02 | |
because she is naturally good. I
said earlier, with some of the right | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |
things, she could be a seven-metre
jumper, but she would need to put | 0:54:06 | 0:54:10 | |
more time into it. Talking about the
age-old dilemma with Kat, do you | 0:54:10 | 0:54:15 | |
work more on the pros, where you are
weaker, or do you push elsewhere? | 0:54:15 | 0:54:21 | |
Today, she's done a really good
throw for her in the shot put, which | 0:54:21 | 0:54:24 | |
has given her a platform to go into
the long jump. It's a fine balancing | 0:54:24 | 0:54:30 | |
act, and the detail, you could
dissect it all day, but what matters | 0:54:30 | 0:54:35 | |
is, can you come to major
championships and be competitive and | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
minimise the mistakes, and she is
proving that it's coming together. | 0:54:38 | 0:54:41 | |
Let's have a look at the standings.
Heading into that 800 metres, coming | 0:54:41 | 0:54:46 | |
up at about 8:15pm. She is in the
lead. This isn't reading we've had | 0:54:46 | 0:54:52 | |
before in the final event of a
global event for Katarina | 0:54:52 | 0:54:55 | |
Johnson-Thompson. There she is, 33
points ahead of Dadic, and she is a | 0:54:55 | 0:55:04 | |
quicker 800-metre runner and Dadic,
in front of a home crowd... What | 0:55:04 | 0:55:07 | |
could possibly go wrong? She is fit
enough. She has got good endurance. | 0:55:07 | 0:55:14 | |
This crowd will be roaring her home.
The only thing that could go wrong | 0:55:14 | 0:55:18 | |
is that she goes too hard, but I
doubt she will do that. She's got a | 0:55:18 | 0:55:22 | |
good head on her in terms of pace
judgment, and I expect her to be | 0:55:22 | 0:55:27 | |
running through this. She has to
enjoy it, doesn't she? I'd like to | 0:55:27 | 0:55:32 | |
enjoy the celebrating after she's
one it. She has been very focused, | 0:55:32 | 0:55:37 | |
poised, and that has worked for her,
so I'd like to see her continue to | 0:55:37 | 0:55:40 | |
do that, and not enjoyed this too
soon. Just finish it up and then | 0:55:40 | 0:55:45 | |
enjoy celebrating a medal. And it is
for her, let's not forget, five | 0:55:45 | 0:55:52 | |
events in Monday, it's not what
these women are used to. They are | 0:55:52 | 0:55:57 | |
not used to it but in some ways I
think they find it easier, but what | 0:55:57 | 0:56:00 | |
is tiring is the warming up again,
the sore legs, moving into the next | 0:56:00 | 0:56:06 | |
day and having to warm up, so
getting it done, there is some | 0:56:06 | 0:56:10 | |
beauty in that. I don't think you
give the body long enough to realise | 0:56:10 | 0:56:14 | |
how hard it is working. It's like
heavy training in the winter, it's | 0:56:14 | 0:56:18 | |
the next day when you feel awful.
During it, you think I'll get | 0:56:18 | 0:56:21 | |
another job. By the time they wake
up tomorrow, they will be stiff and | 0:56:21 | 0:56:26 | |
struggling to walk around, I
imagine. My body could never put up | 0:56:26 | 0:56:29 | |
with that, because it's so much
pressure for so many events, and | 0:56:29 | 0:56:36 | |
it's very impressive. Let's head to
our number cruncher in the | 0:56:36 | 0:56:40 | |
commentary box. You have been
working out what she's got to do in | 0:56:40 | 0:56:43 | |
the 800 metres. It's interesting,
because there are a couple of | 0:56:43 | 0:56:48 | |
dynamics. Katarina Johnson-Thompson
as, looking at my piece of paper, I | 0:56:48 | 0:56:54 | |
apologise, a two second lead over
Dadic, 33 points. Stay with me on | 0:56:54 | 0:57:00 | |
this, Dadic has a 65 point lead over
Rodriguez. However, that relates to | 0:57:00 | 0:57:11 | |
four seconds. The difference between
Dadic and Rodriguez's PBs in the 800 | 0:57:11 | 0:57:16 | |
is about three and a half, so if I
am Rodriguez, I think, I can still | 0:57:16 | 0:57:21 | |
get a silver medal, so I will run
hard, and that changes the dynamic | 0:57:21 | 0:57:24 | |
of the race. It will not be a cruise
around, Rodriguez will probably be | 0:57:24 | 0:57:29 | |
pushing for a silver, and that will
push it on. The scoreboard is up, | 0:57:29 | 0:57:33 | |
and you can see the point margins
between them. Thank you, Tony, we | 0:57:33 | 0:57:39 | |
can always rely on you for the
numbers. I think you are going to | 0:57:39 | 0:57:43 | |
give Rachel Riley a run for her
money! Next up on the track, the | 0:57:43 | 0:57:46 | |
semifinals of the women's 60 metres
and Asha Philip is in the one, which | 0:57:46 | 0:57:52 | |
is loaded with talent. Loaded with
talent, but the objective is clear. | 0:57:52 | 0:57:58 | |
She said she's come to these
championships for a medal, anything | 0:57:58 | 0:58:02 | |
less is a disappointment for her.
She will have the support of the | 0:58:02 | 0:58:05 | |
home crowd. Birmingham is like home
for her. Game open. Looking at the | 0:58:05 | 0:58:12 | |
names in this, people would think,
Olympic champions, world champions, | 0:58:12 | 0:58:16 | |
but Asha is a fantastic start. She's
built for this event. She has Dafne | 0:58:16 | 0:58:24 | |
Schippers on the outside, Murielle
Ahoure on the inside. But she has to | 0:58:24 | 0:58:29 | |
be careful and patient run her best
race in order to get into the next | 0:58:29 | 0:58:34 | |
round and that final. Steve Cram has
this semi for you. | 0:58:34 | 0:58:42 | |
Yes, we've got a world leader, and
Olympic champion 100 metres, a world | 0:58:43 | 0:58:48 | |
champion, Dafne Schippers, 200
meteors, and the European indoor | 0:58:48 | 0:58:52 | |
champion in Asha Philip, not to
mention the fact that Ahoure is a | 0:58:52 | 0:58:58 | |
two-time world silver-medallist. Not
your average semifinal! This is | 0:58:58 | 0:59:03 | |
tough for Asha Philip. I saw her
earlier and she said, if I've got to | 0:59:03 | 0:59:07 | |
beat some people, I've got to run
fast, and she's right. There two | 0:59:07 | 0:59:13 | |
fastest loser spots available if you
don't make it into the best top two, | 0:59:13 | 0:59:19 | |
and he was Kelly-Ann Baptiste of
Trinidad and Tobago. The big names, | 0:59:19 | 0:59:26 | |
Murielle Ahoure in lane three, and
in superb form this year, unbeaten | 0:59:26 | 0:59:28 | |
on the circuit. Asha Philip, British
champion and European champion from | 0:59:28 | 0:59:35 | |
last year. Can she hang on to the
big names around her? Dafne | 0:59:35 | 0:59:44 | |
Schippers, how good is she going to
be here? Maybe Asha Philip can get | 0:59:44 | 0:59:48 | |
ahead of Dafne Schippers. Looked
pretty good to me in qualification. | 0:59:48 | 0:59:55 | |
Elaine Thompson was taking it easy
as well, the Olympic champion. Not | 0:59:55 | 0:59:59 | |
such a good 2017 for her,
disappointment in London, she wasn't | 0:59:59 | 1:00:03 | |
well. This young lady can start very
quickly, Xiaojing Liang, just 20. | 1:00:03 | 1:00:11 | |
And what are we going to see from
Javianne Oliver? The world lead, got | 1:00:11 | 1:00:16 | |
left in the box this. If she runs
like that, she will have no chance | 1:00:16 | 1:00:20 | |
of getting through. It's not just
those four, and there is a big | 1:00:20 | 1:00:30 | |
danger if she decides to wake up
after this morning. That is why she | 1:00:30 | 1:00:34 | |
is in lane eight. Although all of
the attention in the middle lanes | 1:00:34 | 1:00:39 | |
here, watch out for Oliver. | 1:00:39 | 1:00:47 | |
Let's put it this way, if you don't
finish in the top four, you don't | 1:00:49 | 1:00:52 | |
have any chance of getting through,
because there are only two fastest | 1:00:52 | 1:00:57 | |
loser spots. The first of three
semifinals. Asha Philip in lane | 1:00:57 | 1:01:01 | |
four. | 1:01:01 | 1:01:08 | |
Thompson Murielle Ahoure gets a
cracking start. Ahoure wins it from | 1:01:10 | 1:01:15 | |
Thompson. Then Oliver and then Dafne
Schippers. Really good performance | 1:01:15 | 1:01:22 | |
from Ahoure. I think Asha Philip
will have to accept that she got a | 1:01:22 | 1:01:27 | |
terrible draw in terms of
qualification. We will see what time | 1:01:27 | 1:01:29 | |
she ran. It's been taken down to
7.01, a world lead for the IED. | 1:01:29 | 1:01:38 | |
Superb start as ever from Ahoure.
She desperately wants to win gold | 1:01:38 | 1:01:43 | |
this time. Elaine Thompson and
Schippers were not too far behind. | 1:01:43 | 1:01:49 | |
But Ahoure was excellent. She so
was. I was watching how she was | 1:01:49 | 1:01:54 | |
going to be in the blocks. What
they're going to be any anxiety? | 1:01:54 | 1:01:59 | |
This was such a loaded semifinal.
But they waited and there was a lot | 1:01:59 | 1:02:05 | |
of discipline. The gun goes an
Ahoure explodes out of the blocks, | 1:02:05 | 1:02:10 | |
drives really hard in those yellow
shorts. Asha Philip did well to hang | 1:02:10 | 1:02:14 | |
on in there originally. But when the
really strong players come in, Dafne | 1:02:14 | 1:02:22 | |
Schippers pulls Elaine Thompson
through. Elaine then steps up | 1:02:22 | 1:02:25 | |
another gear. What a semifinal. And
we still have a final to go at the | 1:02:25 | 1:02:33 | |
end of the evening. Asha Philip 's
will be disappointed that she was | 1:02:33 | 1:02:38 | |
drawn in this one, but that is the
nature of the beast. Her time is not | 1:02:38 | 1:02:43 | |
bad. | 1:02:43 | 1:02:48 | |
bad. That would not be far off
winning some of the other | 1:02:48 | 1:02:51 | |
semifinals. | 1:02:51 | 1:02:56 | |
Asha drives hard, works well. But
now she will already feel Dafne | 1:03:05 | 1:03:10 | |
Schippers alongside her. Ahoure has
already gone. Now she has two stay | 1:03:10 | 1:03:16 | |
relaxed and work hard. Tough
semifinal, but she did her best. | 1:03:16 | 1:03:27 | |
Knowing how competitive Asha is, she
will think, I run OK, but if I could | 1:03:27 | 1:03:31 | |
have run a 7.10, she would have run
her season's best. She could have | 1:03:31 | 1:03:39 | |
just gone a bit quicker and I have
been enough. But that was a stacked | 1:03:39 | 1:03:42 | |
semifinal. | 1:03:42 | 1:03:52 | |
First of all, we have to look at
this from a British perspective | 1:04:00 | 1:04:04 | |
because as European indoor champion,
Asha Philip would have expected to | 1:04:04 | 1:04:07 | |
get herself into that final. | 1:04:07 | 1:04:11 | |
When you look at the athletes who
have run seasons bests and they are | 1:04:11 | 1:04:16 | |
in the top three, she had to be
putting herself amongst her season's | 1:04:16 | 1:04:20 | |
best and putting herself up there to
get through. Edge was only 100th of | 1:04:20 | 1:04:24 | |
a second off her season's best, so
you can't ask for much more. I think | 1:04:24 | 1:04:28 | |
she got a bit high out of the
blocks, like a bound. But that is | 1:04:28 | 1:04:32 | |
fractional. We knew Ahoure would be
out there. Look up Schippers. | 1:04:32 | 1:04:42 | |
out there. Look up Schippers. I
don't think Asha was going to be | 1:04:45 | 1:04:46 | |
able to do much more than this. She
was in the worst heat you could get. | 1:04:46 | 1:04:59 | |
Oliver, who is incredible, came
fourth in this race. I don't think | 1:05:00 | 1:05:07 | |
she could have done much more. I
think she didn't run her best rate. | 1:05:07 | 1:05:12 | |
She has been consistent all season.
Where are talking about fractions of | 1:05:12 | 1:05:16 | |
a second here, but she will be
disappointed with that. | 1:05:16 | 1:05:23 | |
disappointed with that. But if it's
not her best race by hundreds of a | 1:05:23 | 1:05:27 | |
second. Majka I am looking at the
execution here and it is almost | 1:05:27 | 1:05:30 | |
identical to this morning, which is
what you want. I don't think there | 1:05:30 | 1:05:35 | |
is much more she was going to be
able to do. If you could fault | 1:05:35 | 1:05:38 | |
anything with that race, it is not
the execution. Maybe there was a bit | 1:05:38 | 1:05:42 | |
more speed she could have got in the
lead up, maybe a bit more speed | 1:05:42 | 1:05:47 | |
endurance from her training. But I
don't think you can fault much | 1:05:47 | 1:05:50 | |
there. It was a bad draw for her.
She is obviously disappointed, | 1:05:50 | 1:05:55 | |
because she has just walked through
the interview area and hasn't | 1:05:55 | 1:05:59 | |
stopped. We will hopefully get a
word with her later. But if you were | 1:05:59 | 1:06:02 | |
listening this morning, she had her
interview where she said she expects | 1:06:02 | 1:06:06 | |
to be among the medals and she would
be very disappointed if she isn't, | 1:06:06 | 1:06:09 | |
so I am sure she will be. Let's get
back down for the next of these | 1:06:09 | 1:06:13 | |
semifinals. Andrew Cotter is all
over this one. | 1:06:13 | 1:06:22 | |
Look at some of the names here in
comparison. | 1:06:22 | 1:06:29 | |
What a run that was from Ahoure.
What can another one from Cote | 1:06:43 | 1:06:48 | |
d'Ivoire do? | 1:06:48 | 1:06:57 | |
d'Ivoire do? There is destiny
Carter. Didn't look too impressive | 1:06:57 | 1:07:04 | |
in the first round. | 1:07:04 | 1:07:09 | |
in the first round. Swoboda is an
amazing talent. I would be very | 1:07:11 | 1:07:17 | |
surprised if over the next two
semifinals, anyone beats those | 1:07:17 | 1:07:23 | |
fastest losers' times of Dafne
Schippers and JVM Oliver. I would | 1:07:23 | 1:07:30 | |
really expect us to go through as
the two fastest losers. That was an | 1:07:30 | 1:07:35 | |
incredibly quick first semifinal.
What can they do in the second? Ta | 1:07:35 | 1:07:42 | |
Lou has been unbeaten this year
since the meeting in Berlin. | 1:07:42 | 1:07:49 | |
Just two to go through
automatically. | 1:08:02 | 1:08:10 | |
automatically. Second semifinal in
the women's 60m. | 1:08:10 | 1:08:16 | |
the women's 60m. A good start by
Pinto. Ta Lou leaving the rest. It | 1:08:19 | 1:08:28 | |
is close for second place, but Ta
Lou takes it 7.09. She wins in the | 1:08:28 | 1:08:36 | |
same time as Dafne Schippers, in
third place in the first semifinal | 1:08:36 | 1:08:42 | |
by comparison. That was a hard run
by Ta Lou. She has been rounded down | 1:08:42 | 1:08:53 | |
to 7.08, the winning time. She will
have to step it up because Ahoure in | 1:08:53 | 1:08:58 | |
the first semifinal looked very
quick indeed. But it is another | 1:08:58 | 1:09:01 | |
victory. Very strong run from Ta
Lou. And we expect that from her. | 1:09:01 | 1:09:11 | |
She's really good out of the blocks.
Worked hard, drove all the way. When | 1:09:11 | 1:09:18 | |
it comes to the semifinal stage,
there is no messing about. There is | 1:09:18 | 1:09:23 | |
so much talent alongside you that
you have to work. A strong time. I | 1:09:23 | 1:09:31 | |
will be interested to see what the
other times are. It was tight | 1:09:31 | 1:09:37 | |
between Ahye and Pinto. I think Ahye
might have sneaked it on the line. | 1:09:37 | 1:09:46 | |
Burchell ran strongly, but she has
been given it. She takes second with | 1:09:46 | 1:09:54 | |
7.15, a slower time than Asha Philip
in the first heat. It is just the | 1:09:54 | 1:09:59 | |
luck of the draw for Asha Philip. | 1:09:59 | 1:10:11 | |
Well, that endorses everything we
were saying about that first | 1:10:11 | 1:10:16 | |
semifinal with those times. If you
look at the difference between first | 1:10:16 | 1:10:19 | |
and second place, it is going to be
tough for Asha to take. It really | 1:10:19 | 1:10:25 | |
years. It was unbelievable how
stacked that field was. That is just | 1:10:25 | 1:10:29 | |
the luck of the draw. We can't go on
about it, it is what it is and she | 1:10:29 | 1:10:33 | |
will be very disappointed. We felt
this was an opportunity for her. She | 1:10:33 | 1:10:42 | |
came into these championships with
the right attitude, saying exactly | 1:10:42 | 1:10:45 | |
what you would want someone who has
been around for a long time to say, | 1:10:45 | 1:10:48 | |
wanting to deliver on the big stage.
It is tough, but she has to bounce | 1:10:48 | 1:10:54 | |
back. She has the Commonwealth
Games, so she needs to move on. She | 1:10:54 | 1:10:59 | |
will find it difficult as well
because if you get yourself into the | 1:10:59 | 1:11:03 | |
final, anything can happen. That is
what will hurt her looking at what | 1:11:03 | 1:11:06 | |
happened. | 1:11:06 | 1:11:12 | |
happened. That time for Ta Lou puts
her right amongst the Schippers and | 1:11:12 | 1:11:15 | |
Elaine Thompson. She is going to be
in the mix in the final. It will be | 1:11:15 | 1:11:20 | |
a great final. Ta Lou has been
running well for the last couple of | 1:11:20 | 1:11:25 | |
years. She has been very consistent.
She has a cracking start every time. | 1:11:25 | 1:11:31 | |
And she is a championship performer.
Every championship, she gives the | 1:11:31 | 1:11:35 | |
best performance of the year. She
built into it and get a great race. | 1:11:35 | 1:11:49 | |
Not as relaxed in the face as I
would like to see, but it is | 1:11:49 | 1:11:53 | |
obviously working well for her.
Let's just get back outside because | 1:11:53 | 1:11:58 | |
the athletes in that race have been
looking up at the big screen, | 1:11:58 | 1:12:01 | |
waiting for the results, which still
hadn't come in a few seconds ago. | 1:12:01 | 1:12:04 | |
Andrew Cotter, what is going on?
They are still having a look at it. | 1:12:04 | 1:12:10 | |
We have got confirmation of the
result, but it has gone down to | 1:12:10 | 1:12:14 | |
thousandths of a second. We said it
was close between Burchell and Ahye | 1:12:14 | 1:12:18 | |
and they have been given exactly the
same time. Steve Cram, there seemed | 1:12:18 | 1:12:24 | |
to be a lack of lanes as well? We
haven't got nine lanes, so either | 1:12:24 | 1:12:30 | |
they don't take an extra fastest
loser, which is probably what they | 1:12:30 | 1:12:34 | |
will have to do. That reminds me of
this morning. Ahye was thinking, | 1:12:34 | 1:12:39 | |
brilliant, I'm in Kombucha to she
didn't see her name, in the results | 1:12:39 | 1:12:43 | |
for a long time. -- she would have
been thinking she was in. Here, | 1:12:43 | 1:12:54 | |
there should be one less fastest
loser. I think that is how they will | 1:12:54 | 1:12:58 | |
do it. So we have one more won to
come. Sadly, we can't have nine | 1:12:58 | 1:13:03 | |
lanes in the final, so these two are
dead heating for the top two. | 1:13:03 | 1:13:15 | |
dead heating for the top two. Just
Steve, going back to Barcelona in | 1:13:16 | 1:13:19 | |
1995, looking at the final, there
was a British representative who | 1:13:19 | 1:13:24 | |
lost a place in the final on the
toss of a coin. He and his rival had | 1:13:24 | 1:13:28 | |
the exact same time but there was
only room for one of them in the | 1:13:28 | 1:13:33 | |
final, so it might come down to the
toss of a coin. Except that they | 1:13:33 | 1:13:37 | |
would have had the same time as
fastest losers. Here, they could | 1:13:37 | 1:13:41 | |
just take the ninth fastest person
out. Let's find out in a bit, | 1:13:41 | 1:13:44 | |
anyway. Bianca Williams made it
through as fastest loser to the | 1:13:44 | 1:13:49 | |
semifinals. | 1:13:49 | 1:13:59 | |
Koh-i-Noor Horne, the South African
record-holder at this distance. She | 1:14:03 | 1:14:08 | |
looked a little ragged this morning. | 1:14:08 | 1:14:18 | |
The revelation was this young lady,
Zahi from France, who looked very | 1:14:22 | 1:14:28 | |
quick indeed. | 1:14:28 | 1:14:36 | |
quick indeed. Did we miss somebody?
Lane seven is not there. That should | 1:14:36 | 1:14:39 | |
have been Evans. | 1:14:39 | 1:14:49 | |
We have seen Asha Philip not going
to. | 1:14:54 | 1:15:02 | |
Mujinga Kambundji got into a rut,
into the same routine. Zahi in six. | 1:15:13 | 1:15:22 | |
Zahi didn't get quite a good start
as previously. Carina Horn came | 1:15:29 | 1:15:37 | |
through late for a third but it
would be good enough to qualify | 1:15:37 | 1:15:40 | |
unless she's very quick switch with
that winning time of 7.10, I don't | 1:15:40 | 1:15:45 | |
think she will be. The question for
me will tidy this up is Dafne | 1:15:45 | 1:15:52 | |
Schippers is the slowest of the two
fastest losers. Are they going to | 1:15:52 | 1:15:57 | |
take Dafne Schippers out of the
final? Because we've got | 1:15:57 | 1:16:02 | |
theoretically nine qualifiers. Colin
Jackson, and so. No! That's what I'm | 1:16:02 | 1:16:05 | |
saying. It's an interesting dilemma.
Solution? They don't have long to | 1:16:05 | 1:16:13 | |
work it out! They've got blue paint.
They could quickly put another | 1:16:13 | 1:16:18 | |
laying down. | 1:16:18 | 1:16:24 | |
laying down. Kambundji change in her
coach, going back to the old | 1:16:24 | 1:16:30 | |
environment, she's certainly
improved. I think she ran former | 1:16:30 | 1:16:33 | |
controlled and she did in the heat
this morning. -- far more control. | 1:16:33 | 1:16:39 | |
Good times, 7.10, very controlled. I
don't thing was panic that any | 1:16:39 | 1:16:44 | |
point. Didn't get the best of starts
but everything she did she did well. | 1:16:44 | 1:16:47 | |
The hall itself do the rest of the
field and she's switching off and | 1:16:47 | 1:16:52 | |
cruising through. I don't see she
pressurised herself at all. Bianca | 1:16:52 | 1:16:56 | |
is on the right of our screen. Not
smooth out of the blocks. I've seen | 1:16:56 | 1:17:00 | |
him more aggressive and focused than
that. She said it was a surprise for | 1:17:00 | 1:17:06 | |
her to be as you can understand
that's the reason why. She's been | 1:17:06 | 1:17:09 | |
rewarded with a personal best so I
think should be pretty pleased with | 1:17:09 | 1:17:12 | |
that. She did well to make it
through as fastest loser. It bodes | 1:17:12 | 1:17:17 | |
well for outdoor. Always. To get in
our female team in the four by one, | 1:17:17 | 1:17:24 | |
you have to prove you are in great
shape and running personal bests. | 1:17:24 | 1:17:29 | |
Lets the tidy this up, this heat. | 1:17:29 | 1:17:31 | |
Carolle Zahi was slower than Asha
Philip so that go through. | 1:17:37 | 1:17:41 | |
Technically we have nine qualifiers
for the final. Tuned! Anyone got a | 1:17:41 | 1:17:49 | |
coin? I think if you are the slowest
of the fastest losers, even if your | 1:17:49 | 1:17:54 | |
Dafne Schippers, you're going to
feel a bit nervous right now. Yeah, | 1:17:54 | 1:17:59 | |
and it doesn't matter who you are.
If you are slowest of the fastest | 1:17:59 | 1:18:04 | |
losers and there isn't a lane for
you you have to watch it. I think | 1:18:04 | 1:18:09 | |
you're combing through the real
bottle now trying to find out | 1:18:09 | 1:18:12 | |
exactly how this works to find out
what your fate is. If you are the | 1:18:12 | 1:18:16 | |
slowest they will eliminate one,
which would seem to be the fair | 1:18:16 | 1:18:19 | |
thing to do if you're going to how
only have eight lanes. It is what it | 1:18:19 | 1:18:25 | |
is. They lose Dafne Schippers from
the final and it tells you what | 1:18:25 | 1:18:28 | |
we've been saying all day that this
is really wide open and this is very | 1:18:28 | 1:18:32 | |
much a kind of even spread amongst
these women. The times were very | 1:18:32 | 1:18:36 | |
close. Not only does it tell you
it's very open, it's also very fast. | 1:18:36 | 1:18:41 | |
It's fast athletes that... Sorry to
interrupt you. Which is hearing a | 1:18:41 | 1:18:49 | |
bit of white smoke has come through!
We have confirmation that actually | 1:18:49 | 1:18:56 | |
Schippers was the fastest losers so
she is through. And Oliver is the | 1:18:56 | 1:19:01 | |
one in danger. She is the fastest
woman out of the United States team. | 1:19:01 | 1:19:10 | |
And came into the Championship as
the fastest in the world but didn't | 1:19:10 | 1:19:13 | |
perform well this morning, she was
horrible out of the blocks and then | 1:19:13 | 1:19:17 | |
she ran better in the semifinal but
still not enough for an automatic | 1:19:17 | 1:19:22 | |
qualifier, which she should have
been having run 7.02 earlier this | 1:19:22 | 1:19:26 | |
year. That would be on her if she is
out. Maybe they will paint another | 1:19:26 | 1:19:32 | |
laying! Do you think, if you're
being really brutal, but the slowest | 1:19:32 | 1:19:35 | |
person goes? It's not in the rules.
Exactly. | 1:19:35 | 1:19:44 | |
Exactly. It's given to finishing
one, two in your heat. Would you do | 1:19:47 | 1:19:50 | |
that, though? No, I... I think it's
fair the way we think that it's | 1:19:50 | 1:19:58 | |
going to work out. I think the
person who was one of the fastest | 1:19:58 | 1:20:02 | |
losers doesn't go. The slowest
fastest loser doesn't get in. We | 1:20:02 | 1:20:07 | |
said earlier the US is so good at
producing hurdlers. There generally | 1:20:07 | 1:20:12 | |
always have someone close to
dominating or dominating so to have | 1:20:12 | 1:20:16 | |
a winning 60-metre final without
anyone from the US would be a shock. | 1:20:16 | 1:20:21 | |
You would expect with the strength
and depth about there would always | 1:20:21 | 1:20:24 | |
be at least one who would make the
final. Not so wish for the indoor 60 | 1:20:24 | 1:20:28 | |
metres. A lot of sprinters for the
100 metres that will contest the 100 | 1:20:28 | 1:20:36 | |
metres. Fastest in the world this
year, you'd think she'd be in the | 1:20:36 | 1:20:42 | |
final. You think that she would be
in the final but what you're saying | 1:20:42 | 1:20:46 | |
is she's the only one that even...
Even in contention to be in the | 1:20:46 | 1:20:51 | |
final. The others didn't even make
it to the final. But think about who | 1:20:51 | 1:20:55 | |
we have at home who are 100 metre
sprinters, if this was the outdoor | 1:20:55 | 1:21:00 | |
World Championships and the women's
100 metres, and no US | 1:21:00 | 1:21:06 | |
representation, that would have been
shocking. The queue has been taken | 1:21:06 | 1:21:10 | |
from her name so she has no longer
qualify for the final. Nine became | 1:21:10 | 1:21:13 | |
eight, as the Spice Girls once
signed and that is the line-up for | 1:21:13 | 1:21:17 | |
the final which will take place this
evening just after 9:30pm. It'll be | 1:21:17 | 1:21:22 | |
the last event on the track. Pick
your winner from that slots, then! | 1:21:22 | 1:21:27 | |
At this point, array array. The only
thing she would have to look for is | 1:21:27 | 1:21:38 | |
if she gets the start and runs like
she did in the prelims because she | 1:21:38 | 1:21:42 | |
did get to the semifinals. Not
looking quite as good as in the | 1:21:42 | 1:21:45 | |
preliminaries but she looked
amazing. I'm glad we cleared that up | 1:21:45 | 1:21:49 | |
eventually. Let's get out onto the
track because Elliot Giles is out | 1:21:49 | 1:21:55 | |
which means its 800 metre time. This
is an event where you got to get | 1:21:55 | 1:21:59 | |
your tactics right. Content Aird you
certainly have to do. It adds to | 1:21:59 | 1:22:05 | |
that one it's four lapse for 800
metres because it becomes a bit more | 1:22:05 | 1:22:09 | |
furious and chaotic. Alvaro De
Arriba, bronze in Belgrade last | 1:22:09 | 1:22:15 | |
year. Drew Windle finished second at
the US indoors behind Donavan | 1:22:15 | 1:22:21 | |
Brazier. A strong finish there, came
storming through to take second. | 1:22:21 | 1:22:26 | |
Andreas Kramer likes to run
outdoors, so I'm sure he'll adopt | 1:22:26 | 1:22:31 | |
that if he can hear. European under
23 champion last year, still 20. | 1:22:31 | 1:22:37 | |
Elliot Giles, a hometown boy with a
hometown welcome. | 1:22:37 | 1:22:40 | |
CHEERING
Indoor champion. Recently added that | 1:22:40 | 1:22:44 | |
if his outdoor title. On the inside
in lane two, Mohammed Hamada | 1:22:44 | 1:22:53 | |
Mohamed. Elliot Giles carrying
British hopes here. Kyle Langford | 1:22:53 | 1:23:00 | |
deciding not to run the world
indoors and Giles with the | 1:23:00 | 1:23:07 | |
supporting goodwill of most of the
crowd but with that comes pressure. | 1:23:07 | 1:23:14 | |
The first of effectively two
semifinals in the men's 800. Limited | 1:23:14 | 1:23:17 | |
field with very top qualifying
standards set by the IAAF. | 1:23:17 | 1:23:26 | |
standards set by the IAAF. Perhaps a
better chance for Elliott Giles. | 1:23:28 | 1:23:34 | |
Andreas Kramer likes to different
run. Only two go through | 1:23:34 | 1:23:39 | |
automatically. Two go through
automatically and then the two | 1:23:39 | 1:23:42 | |
fastest losers. You have to think
that is what Mohamed is doing. It is | 1:23:42 | 1:23:48 | |
shocking in a world indoor
Championships we only have ten men | 1:23:48 | 1:23:53 | |
in the 800 metres. It's amazing.
Giles is being stretched at the | 1:23:53 | 1:23:57 | |
moment, the whole field is
stretching out with Mohamed. They | 1:23:57 | 1:24:01 | |
will start to come back towards
Giles and Drew Windle will certainly | 1:24:01 | 1:24:06 | |
finish strongly. Don't rule him out
and don't rule out Alvaro De Arriba | 1:24:06 | 1:24:11 | |
who is running an experienced race
here. | 1:24:11 | 1:24:17 | |
here. Two go through automatically.
Don't rule out Drew Windle. You | 1:24:20 | 1:24:23 | |
close very fast in Albuquerque to
grab the qualifying spot and he is | 1:24:23 | 1:24:28 | |
capable of doing it again today.
Elliot Giles has played well so far | 1:24:28 | 1:24:33 | |
and he's got something left. Elliot
Giles eases his way past. | 1:24:33 | 1:24:41 | |
Elliot Giles is looking up at the
big screen and being carried on by | 1:24:45 | 1:24:49 | |
the support of the home crowd. | 1:24:49 | 1:24:53 | |
Giles just hangs on for second. De
Arriba wins. A quick time indoors | 1:25:00 | 1:25:11 | |
and Elliot Giles goes through as an
automatic qualifier and Drew Windle | 1:25:11 | 1:25:14 | |
will have to wait and see but it was
a quick race. It was. You have to | 1:25:14 | 1:25:18 | |
think that Drew Windle probably will
go through anyway. I'd like to think | 1:25:18 | 1:25:23 | |
that Elliot Giles was easing down.
He was checking the screen down the | 1:25:23 | 1:25:26 | |
back straight and looked very
comfortable at that stage. To ease | 1:25:26 | 1:25:30 | |
down when you know people are
breathing down job back and the | 1:25:30 | 1:25:32 | |
final is something you should be in.
He's done well, managed to get the | 1:25:32 | 1:25:37 | |
qualifying spot. . You can see how
happy Elliot Giles is. He knows he's | 1:25:37 | 1:25:43 | |
an automatic qualifier but we can
see his time and he knows it's good. | 1:25:43 | 1:25:50 | |
1:45.46. That puts him third on the
UK all-time list behind Sebastian | 1:25:50 | 1:25:57 | |
Coe. Very quick indeed from Elliot
Giles. That's the way to move | 1:25:57 | 1:26:01 | |
through to the final tomorrow night.
This is effectively a straight | 1:26:01 | 1:26:06 | |
semifinal. Not many athletes running
here in the men's 800 metres. Tough | 1:26:06 | 1:26:11 | |
qualifying standard. The great race
but Elliot Giles. And he'll be | 1:26:11 | 1:26:14 | |
pleased with that. A big boost. He
probably want to say thank you to | 1:26:14 | 1:26:18 | |
the pacemaker. Mohamed was
effectively the pacemaker. Look at | 1:26:18 | 1:26:24 | |
De Arriba in the Spanish vest. He
eventually won and that's the beauty | 1:26:24 | 1:26:31 | |
of the 800 metres. They were all
coming back, all starting to fade | 1:26:31 | 1:26:35 | |
back towards him and it looks like
he's picking up the pace. He's not | 1:26:35 | 1:26:39 | |
the rest are fading. Giles able to
look at the screen and see where he | 1:26:39 | 1:26:42 | |
was. At this stage, Elliot Giles is
doing everything right. He's looking | 1:26:42 | 1:26:46 | |
at the screen, looking he was coming
behind him so he knows where the | 1:26:46 | 1:26:50 | |
danger is coming from. He knew that
De Arriba was coming through. You | 1:26:50 | 1:26:56 | |
can see his shoulder starting to go
up but he is maintaining his form, | 1:26:56 | 1:26:59 | |
keeping running hard through to the
line. The only fault he made was | 1:26:59 | 1:27:03 | |
moving slightly wide and believing
that space for Drew Windle to make a | 1:27:03 | 1:27:07 | |
last ditch for the line. 800 metres
and Elliot Giles was able to hold | 1:27:07 | 1:27:14 | |
on. Drew Windle may well go through
as one of the two fastest losers | 1:27:14 | 1:27:20 | |
over these two effective semifinals
but that was a very good run from De | 1:27:20 | 1:27:26 | |
Arriba, the Spaniard. So too from
Elliot Giles. That time, third on | 1:27:26 | 1:27:30 | |
the UK all-time list. | 1:27:30 | 1:27:39 | |
the UK all-time list. 1:45.46 to
automatically qualify for the final. | 1:27:39 | 1:27:45 | |
Giles, personal-best there, through
to the final. Happy with your | 1:27:45 | 1:27:50 | |
performance? Yeah, I'd just seen the
playback. I shouldn't have eased up | 1:27:50 | 1:27:54 | |
because they could have got me. I
think next time, just run over the | 1:27:54 | 1:28:00 | |
line because I could have easily not
been in the final then. Two seconds | 1:28:00 | 1:28:05 | |
off your personal-best. I think my
PB doesn't really affect me but | 1:28:05 | 1:28:11 | |
again it's a PB soap not bad. What
if I told you that is the third | 1:28:11 | 1:28:16 | |
fastest time for British runner in
history indoors? Well, we better get | 1:28:16 | 1:28:24 | |
a bit quicker, haven't we? To more
places to take. You've heard the | 1:28:24 | 1:28:30 | |
crowd tonight, which was that
pushing you? Just hearing the | 1:28:30 | 1:28:35 | |
accident was great. I'm based down
south so it's great to be around | 1:28:35 | 1:28:39 | |
home. What do you make of your
chances for the final? We get a game | 1:28:39 | 1:28:46 | |
plan. The first job was the heats
and then I got second. Best of luck, | 1:28:46 | 1:28:51 | |
rest up. Easing down, he said.
1:45.46. Great run from the Spaniard | 1:28:51 | 1:29:01 | |
to take automatic qualifying along
with Elliot Giles. Drew Windle may | 1:29:01 | 1:29:04 | |
well be good enough to see him
through. All of his answers, Elliot | 1:29:04 | 1:29:12 | |
Giles, would seem to indicate he's a
man who is very confident of his | 1:29:12 | 1:29:15 | |
form. He expects a lot more from
himself. When he said, I should have | 1:29:15 | 1:29:20 | |
them through the line, not eased up,
tells you what kind of shape using. | 1:29:20 | 1:29:23 | |
Tells you his his mentality and
about his trajectory. He's really | 1:29:23 | 1:29:29 | |
come into his own the last couple of
years. We've been on the team with | 1:29:29 | 1:29:33 | |
him. He's a great person to be
around and really applying himself | 1:29:33 | 1:29:37 | |
to his training and that the
benefit. It's really interesting. He | 1:29:37 | 1:29:41 | |
was in my apartment block in the
Olympics in 2016 and you could see | 1:29:41 | 1:29:45 | |
the determination of everything he
was doing. He knows and he knew even | 1:29:45 | 1:29:48 | |
then that he had something special
in him. This could be that | 1:29:48 | 1:29:51 | |
opportunity. The world stage, to go
out and show that elevates himself | 1:29:51 | 1:29:56 | |
going into the outdoors which is the
most important thing. To go out and | 1:29:56 | 1:30:03 | |
really push it. I spent time with
him, in certain athletes you see | 1:30:03 | 1:30:07 | |
this in a focus. It's not be, it's
just an inner knowing that they have | 1:30:07 | 1:30:11 | |
the ability to do it and I think
we've been talking about for a long | 1:30:11 | 1:30:17 | |
time, British athletes not just
being happy with making up the | 1:30:17 | 1:30:20 | |
numbers, going out and waving to the
crowd and going home. With Elliot | 1:30:20 | 1:30:23 | |
numbers, going out and waving to the
crowd and going home. With Elliot, | 1:30:23 | 1:30:27 | |
if you go out there and do the third
fastest time of all time, and you | 1:30:27 | 1:30:33 | |
say, I'll have to read it quickly.
That's a good approach. You like | 1:30:33 | 1:30:36 | |
that? I like it but it works. That's
why I like it. It works and I wonder | 1:30:36 | 1:30:42 | |
if he's one of those athletes, given
what Greg has just enlightened us | 1:30:42 | 1:30:46 | |
about, if he was one of those
athletes to sit back and watch some | 1:30:46 | 1:30:49 | |
of the other British athletes and
say, that doesn't work. It doesn't | 1:30:49 | 1:30:53 | |
work to just be out there and say,
I'm going to have fun with this and | 1:30:53 | 1:30:56 | |
enjoy being here. The content to
come and be on the team. I need to | 1:30:56 | 1:31:02 | |
expect more from myself and knowing
that if you prepare your -- compay | 1:31:02 | 1:31:07 | |
yourself to the great athletes
around the world, athletes that are | 1:31:07 | 1:31:10 | |
making the finals, those athletes
that are consistent, those last | 1:31:10 | 1:31:13 | |
night who in the high jump, the fact
that they were opposing, there were | 1:31:13 | 1:31:19 | |
lines on the track because now it's
a different configuration, they | 1:31:19 | 1:31:22 | |
still perform. That's what you want
to aspire to. It seems like he is | 1:31:22 | 1:31:25 | |
one of those. | 1:31:25 | 1:31:28 | |
He's working out about training, new
training environments, going to | 1:31:28 | 1:31:35 | |
different countries, acclimatising,
making sure he's ready and I think | 1:31:35 | 1:31:37 | |
he's applying himself and that's
what you want to see from young | 1:31:37 | 1:31:41 | |
athletes coming through. Steve Cram
will be impressed by that | 1:31:41 | 1:31:43 | |
performance and in the next semi-,
Steve Cram, you've got a man in Adam | 1:31:43 | 1:31:49 | |
Kszczot that's going to be one of
those pushing for the medals, | 1:31:49 | 1:31:53 | |
something Elliot Giles is going to
have his eye on. Absolutely, I think | 1:31:53 | 1:31:57 | |
Elliott hasn't got a better chance,
I will reiterate having seen him in | 1:31:57 | 1:32:01 | |
training camps over the last couple
of years, he's very focused but he's | 1:32:01 | 1:32:05 | |
a massive talent, one of the most
exciting athletes we've got and I | 1:32:05 | 1:32:09 | |
don't think you've even tapped into
some of that talent yet. You just | 1:32:09 | 1:32:14 | |
saw the confidence he has. This man
has plenty as well, Brazier of | 1:32:14 | 1:32:19 | |
United States, a front running man.
He'll be pleased in some respects | 1:32:19 | 1:32:22 | |
his team-mate Emmanuel Korir didn't
make it because Crusat is good, | 1:32:22 | 1:32:34 | |
Giles is good, he can cope with the
pace and it will depend on the | 1:32:34 | 1:32:38 | |
final. We'll find out who will join
him of course here. What sort of | 1:32:38 | 1:32:43 | |
race is run. If Brazier frontrunners
this, he's only 20, and he's not | 1:32:43 | 1:32:47 | |
frightened, this man here, you might
remember in Portland how he shocked | 1:32:47 | 1:32:57 | |
us all, nobody would have picked him
out beforehand. He hasn't been | 1:32:58 | 1:33:01 | |
running anything like that this
year. We'll see how he goes. This | 1:33:01 | 1:33:04 | |
should be about Kszczot and Brazier,
Smaili on the outside as well, | 1:33:04 | 1:33:12 | |
there's a lot of new young talent.
Such a shame Korir isn't here but it | 1:33:12 | 1:33:18 | |
opens the door for others. Suso will
do nothing but watch and wait. | 1:33:18 | 1:33:26 | |
Brazier likes to get out there in
front but he might think that's what | 1:33:26 | 1:33:30 | |
they're expecting me to do and he
just manages not to step on the | 1:33:30 | 1:33:34 | |
line. Smaili takes advantage.
Brazier is happy to sit towards the | 1:33:34 | 1:33:40 | |
back, with Kszczot. Brazier has
taken a risk with the decisions | 1:33:40 | 1:33:47 | |
judges have been taking so far
today, Adam Kszczot is where we | 1:33:47 | 1:33:52 | |
expect to see him, in his element
racing indoors. He makes the move is | 1:33:52 | 1:33:56 | |
only when he needs to unzip uses as
little energy as possible until he | 1:33:56 | 1:34:00 | |
needs to and he is unbeaten so far
this year. I really like this | 1:34:00 | 1:34:05 | |
Brazier kid. We were talking about
Elliott and Kyle Langford as young | 1:34:05 | 1:34:09 | |
talents, but this kid is only 20 and
he's a lovely looking manner. He's | 1:34:09 | 1:34:13 | |
got a great action. He's got pace.
He's not frightened either. It is | 1:34:13 | 1:34:19 | |
3.26 not fast at all, we are heading
for something slower than the first | 1:34:19 | 1:34:22 | |
one so you don't want to be a
fastest loser here. Kszczot will | 1:34:22 | 1:34:26 | |
have to wake up bit and Brazier will
have to be aware of the kickers. You | 1:34:26 | 1:34:31 | |
can see Adam Kszczot focusing on
where he needs to be an starting to | 1:34:31 | 1:34:35 | |
gather himself ready to react.
Brazier is poised in the perfect | 1:34:35 | 1:34:38 | |
position. Now here comes Kszczot.
It's the one thing Brazier doesn't | 1:34:38 | 1:34:45 | |
have an awful lot of experience as,
this fast change of pace here and | 1:34:45 | 1:34:49 | |
he's having to hold off the
Spaniard, who has moved into second | 1:34:49 | 1:34:54 | |
place and Brazier is struggling for
pace at the moment. Smaili coming | 1:34:54 | 1:34:57 | |
back into this, the American
struggling. Scissor where he likes | 1:34:57 | 1:35:00 | |
to be Konko, Chuck -- controlling it
off the bend. Scissor still has work | 1:35:00 | 1:35:06 | |
to do here and on the line, Smaili
just sit on the inside. Well, if | 1:35:06 | 1:35:12 | |
you'd said to the United States team
that led to top Mac men would not be | 1:35:12 | 1:35:19 | |
in the final, Korir because he
didn't get his Visa in New York and | 1:35:19 | 1:35:24 | |
Brazier because he let others
dictate, why do you go to world | 1:35:24 | 1:35:29 | |
champs and not run your own race?
You should have gone out there, made | 1:35:29 | 1:35:32 | |
it quick, run at the front, scissor
would have kicked but it might have | 1:35:32 | 1:35:36 | |
taken the others out of the
equation. Another one of the medal | 1:35:36 | 1:35:39 | |
prospects has gone, Kszczot wins it
and Smaili joins them. Smaili judged | 1:35:39 | 1:35:46 | |
that very well in the closing
stages. Brazier, maybe he thought | 1:35:46 | 1:35:54 | |
the work was done for him but he
wasn't going fast enough and it | 1:35:54 | 1:35:57 | |
wasn't doing enough damage to
everybody else. Scissor, when he | 1:35:57 | 1:36:01 | |
goes, he has that change of pace
that does so much more damage than | 1:36:01 | 1:36:05 | |
he is able to do outdoors. People
are able to react outdoors but | 1:36:05 | 1:36:09 | |
indoors he gets the jump on the rest
of the field and he's playing with | 1:36:09 | 1:36:12 | |
them here, down the back straight
he's looking up but he's got another | 1:36:12 | 1:36:15 | |
gear and all the way down the home
straight he's still looking around | 1:36:15 | 1:36:18 | |
because he's got that gear ready to
go. He tucks backing behind Adam | 1:36:18 | 1:36:25 | |
Kszczot and Smaili moves through,
senses the gap opened up. | 1:36:25 | 1:36:33 | |
senses the gap opened up. He's so
experienced, Adam, and knows they | 1:36:33 | 1:36:35 | |
are both sides and he's toying with
the man still has that bit extra to | 1:36:35 | 1:36:38 | |
stay ahead will stop yeah, I will
correct myself, Korea, who lives and | 1:36:38 | 1:36:43 | |
trains in America is of course
Kenyan. -- Emmanuel Kipkurui Korir. | 1:36:43 | 1:36:52 | |
Windle goes to as a fastest loser
and Brazier will be disqualified, I | 1:36:52 | 1:36:56 | |
thought he was running on the line
away from the start. There is his | 1:36:56 | 1:37:00 | |
foot on the line. I thought he did
it round the bend anyway. Anyway, | 1:37:00 | 1:37:05 | |
he's probably going to say thank you
for disqualifying me, because it | 1:37:05 | 1:37:09 | |
won't come that I was fifth in the
semi or the heat. They might have | 1:37:09 | 1:37:13 | |
another look at Smaili down the home
straight because he looked very | 1:37:13 | 1:37:16 | |
close to the line, certainly as he
was trying to duck through on the | 1:37:16 | 1:37:20 | |
inside. OK, keep an eye out for
that, so Adam Kszczot through OK, | 1:37:20 | 1:37:29 | |
Smaili joining him as a qualifier
but the others were too slow. | 1:37:29 | 1:37:37 | |
A great performers, are you happy,
they chased you to the line? I am | 1:37:39 | 1:37:45 | |
happy. Only the first 200 was really
quick. I attacked 250 to go, as | 1:37:45 | 1:37:51 | |
usual in this season, so I'm really,
really happy. It seems like the | 1:37:51 | 1:37:57 | |
fastest guys, although they are in
the final right now, so it's easier | 1:37:57 | 1:38:02 | |
for tomorrow. Of course you've got
bronze and silver. You are really | 1:38:02 | 1:38:08 | |
looking for the gold. Hopefully,
hopefully tomorrow I will run for | 1:38:08 | 1:38:12 | |
gold. Your performance there, when
that bell went, you absolutely | 1:38:12 | 1:38:16 | |
rocketed. You knew you had that well
within your sights. I knew I am able | 1:38:16 | 1:38:20 | |
to accelerate and pass everyone on
this short straight, and I did it. | 1:38:20 | 1:38:28 | |
Especially I was especially happy
because I was in the right timing. I | 1:38:28 | 1:38:36 | |
made a big surprise for the fastest
guys. I saw how they looked behind | 1:38:36 | 1:38:41 | |
their backs and immediately after
that I hit, so it was great. Thank | 1:38:41 | 1:38:48 | |
you very much for speaking tours.
Thank you. We've had a great night | 1:38:48 | 1:38:55 | |
so far, but there's low more --
loads more to come. Katarina | 1:38:55 | 1:38:59 | |

Laura Muir is back in action in the | 1:39:02 | 1:39:07 | |
heats of the 1500 metres. The men's

entertain. Luvo Manyonga hoping to
add to his outdoor world title from | 1:39:13 | 1:39:19 | |
London. And some of the fastest
woman in the world will contest the | 1:39:19 | 1:39:26 | |
final of a loaded with men's 60
metres. -- women's 60 metres. Let's | 1:39:26 | 1:39:33 | |
talk more about the men's long jump
final, a man who knows what it's | 1:39:33 | 1:39:37 | |
like to be in the final of the world
long jump final, a global long jump | 1:39:37 | 1:39:43 | |
final, Greg Rutherford. We were
rather you were out there obviously, | 1:39:43 | 1:39:47 | |
you didn't feel after Glasgow you
are quite in the shape you wanted to | 1:39:47 | 1:39:51 | |
be to push it amongst the medals, so
who do you expect to be up there on | 1:39:51 | 1:39:55 | |
the rest room at the end of the
night? I've been casting Mike Beady | 1:39:55 | 1:39:59 | |
Eye and watching them go through
their runway practices and both Luvo | 1:39:59 | 1:40:03 | |
Manyonga and Jarrion Lawson have
been smack bang on the board | 1:40:03 | 1:40:06 | |
perfectly, so they've given
themselves a great opportunity to | 1:40:06 | 1:40:08 | |
get on the board and maximise
chances. Luvo popped off the board | 1:40:08 | 1:40:14 | |
and I thought he looks on today. We
could see an 8.5 plus me to jump, | 1:40:14 | 1:40:22 | |
but if you look how close the
borders here we'll see him slide | 1:40:22 | 1:40:25 | |
through and he'll hit the back edge
of the pit which is always quite | 1:40:25 | 1:40:28 | |
scary for the jumpers when you are
in the air as well but it makes | 1:40:28 | 1:40:32 | |
quite an interesting competition. It
is going to be an interesting | 1:40:32 | 1:40:36 | |
competition and indoors you explain
the difference as well for athletes, | 1:40:36 | 1:40:39 | |
it's not just a transference of
skill, you've got a lot of other | 1:40:39 | 1:40:42 | |
things to consider, the speed of the
runway, the fact there's no wind. | 1:40:42 | 1:40:46 | |
You were talking about the women and
the pentathlon earlier on, so remind | 1:40:46 | 1:40:49 | |
us again why it's so different in a
long jump? First of all you don't | 1:40:49 | 1:40:55 | |
have wind, it's zero zero no matter
what, so you don't get the bonus | 1:40:55 | 1:41:00 | |
behind you which is a plus wind, or
a negative wind which is not good | 1:41:00 | 1:41:04 | |
for you. Jumping on board can really
suit some people and be awful for | 1:41:04 | 1:41:07 | |
others. Heavier jumpers and I
gestured towards myself, you can | 1:41:07 | 1:41:11 | |
struggle at times because you can
misjudge the take-off. You feel the | 1:41:11 | 1:41:16 | |
ground beneath you give way. Someone
like Luvo Manyonga, Jarrion Lawson, | 1:41:16 | 1:41:21 | |
quite soft off the board, this could
suit them. It's a fast runway and | 1:41:21 | 1:41:25 | |
it's perfect for jumping big. The
light show has started because this | 1:41:25 | 1:41:29 | |
is the way we introduce our
finalists here, the pyrotechnics | 1:41:29 | 1:41:33 | |
will get going in just a moment as
the men are presented to the arena, | 1:41:33 | 1:41:38 | |
which there are a few empty seats
but I'm impressed, with the amount | 1:41:38 | 1:41:42 | |
of snow that's been falling in
Birmingham today that the crowds | 1:41:42 | 1:41:44 | |
have come out tonight to see these
finals, these great athletics so far | 1:41:44 | 1:41:47 | |
and this meant's final could be
something very special indeed -- | 1:41:47 | 1:41:53 | |
this men's final. They've just
trusted as the men's high jump, | 1:41:53 | 1:41:58 | |
which is quite interesting! They can
go relatively high, but the idea is | 1:41:58 | 1:42:01 | |
to go longer in the long jump. They
have got long jump, they are not | 1:42:01 | 1:42:09 | |
doubling up! We are going to see
something special from warlord two | 1:42:09 | 1:42:13 | |
of these guys. Here's the European
champion as well, so it will be | 1:42:13 | 1:42:19 | |
exciting. Tell us about Jarrion
Lawson. In the end the AA in the US | 1:42:19 | 1:42:23 | |
he set the world alight,
exceptionally fast and good long | 1:42:23 | 1:42:28 | |
jump and he's a speed based long
jump, similar to myself. He has the | 1:42:28 | 1:42:33 | |
ability to run superfast times. If
he was to focus on the sprints, | 1:42:33 | 1:42:37 | |
which maybe he should do, he could
run regular - tens, for sure. There | 1:42:37 | 1:42:45 | |
are so many good athletes, you have
to get busted up for different | 1:42:45 | 1:42:49 | |
events. Remember being in Florida
one time seeing a load of guys at | 1:42:49 | 1:42:53 | |
the Florida State who | 1:42:53 | 1:42:59 | |
the Florida State who would-be
British champions, they were not | 1:42:59 | 1:43:00 | |
quick enough even for their
collegiate team. Jarrion Lawson has | 1:43:00 | 1:43:05 | |
everything, he could be one of the
greatest, I think. In the last few | 1:43:05 | 1:43:09 | |
major championships we've seen some
real quality US long jump is. Just | 1:43:09 | 1:43:13 | |
not quite potentially pushing
themselves through, we saw the | 1:43:13 | 1:43:18 | |
brilliant competition in Beijing at
the World Championships, which Greg | 1:43:18 | 1:43:21 | |
reigns supreme at, but they haven't
quite mixed it. Then you get the | 1:43:21 | 1:43:25 | |
likes of Luvo Manyonga coming along
and taking another crown away from | 1:43:25 | 1:43:30 | |
the great long jump is. They are
always in there for the medals and | 1:43:30 | 1:43:35 | |
Jarrion Lawson, silver last year, I
think he wants to upgrade that, but | 1:43:35 | 1:43:41 | |
Luvo Manyonga has been very
consistent and has made for really | 1:43:41 | 1:43:44 | |
good long jump viewing over the last
few years. Manyonga, in terms of his | 1:43:44 | 1:43:51 | |
story, he's got an amazing story and
he -- we hear so much about there | 1:43:51 | 1:43:59 | |
rather than personalities. We have
to work on that and work with these | 1:43:59 | 1:44:04 | |
athletes. Sorry to interrupt you, I
think these long jump is doing the | 1:44:04 | 1:44:06 | |
best entrance so far of any of the
finals we've seen in terms of | 1:44:06 | 1:44:10 | |
putting the show on! They are known
for their style, right, Greg? I | 1:44:10 | 1:44:15 | |
think they are happy to be on the TV
for a little while, it's a new | 1:44:15 | 1:44:19 | |
experience for them!
LAUGHTER | 1:44:19 | 1:44:23 | |
They are having fun. I mix it up
with these guys all the time, | 1:44:23 | 1:44:26 | |
there's a lot of big personalities
down there. Some of us get on very | 1:44:26 | 1:44:29 | |
well and we have a good laugh,
others are bit insular and within | 1:44:29 | 1:44:33 | |
themselves, but generally the young
jumpers, like the pole vault is and | 1:44:33 | 1:44:36 | |
high jumpers, they are not out there
enough for people to know it I | 1:44:36 | 1:44:39 | |
think. Manyonga has been public
about serving a suspension for a | 1:44:39 | 1:44:45 | |
recreational drug that he admitted
to using and he's using his platform | 1:44:45 | 1:44:48 | |
as a champion to speak to people
about recreational drugs and the | 1:44:48 | 1:44:52 | |
dangers. It's a fantastic story and
he's an amazing athlete. That's a | 1:44:52 | 1:44:56 | |
personality. | 1:44:56 | 1:45:01 | |
personality. He's a great guy.
Incredibly difficult background in | 1:45:01 | 1:45:05 | |
South Africa, not many of us could
relate to. He was a drug addict. To | 1:45:05 | 1:45:08 | |
come through that and do what he's
doing now is testament to his | 1:45:08 | 1:45:11 | |
character, wonderful.
Next up, the women's 1500 metres, | 1:45:11 | 1:45:18 | |
featuring Laura Muir. Muir is using
this to get to | 1:45:18 | 1:45:24 | |
featuring Laura Muir. Muir is using
this to get to them -- Dibaba. She's | 1:45:24 | 1:45:27 | |
definitely got medal, what colour
will it be? Dibaba trying to make it | 1:45:27 | 1:45:30 | |
three world titles in a row kicks
again. One last effort, Dibaba, | 1:45:30 | 1:45:36 | |
looking for the line. She's just
about going to make it. Dibaba gets | 1:45:36 | 1:45:41 | |
the gold, Hassan gets the Silver,
Laura Muir the bronze. 2.37 for the | 1:45:41 | 1:45:49 | |
last kilometre, that is very, very
quick indeed. | 1:45:49 | 1:45:55 | |
I don't think I need to say much
more than your first global medal. | 1:45:55 | 1:45:59 | |
Yes, so happy! I can't believe I've
got one now. It feels like it's been | 1:45:59 | 1:46:05 | |
coming for so long and I'm so glad
to get on the podium. There's been | 1:46:05 | 1:46:09 | |
so much talk about just how strong
that field is, how special is its | 1:46:09 | 1:46:14 | |
knowing you've got your mettle
against that field? Yeah, getting a | 1:46:14 | 1:46:18 | |
world medal is really tough but
everyone was in that race, it could | 1:46:18 | 1:46:22 | |
have been anyone, or the fastest
times in the world weather. To come | 1:46:22 | 1:46:26 | |
away with a medal in that field and
being so close to the front, as | 1:46:26 | 1:46:30 | |
well. I'm just so happy. When we saw
that break of three, we knew a medal | 1:46:30 | 1:46:36 | |
was coming. Did you think you could
have got the silver on that home | 1:46:36 | 1:46:39 | |
straight? My legs were tired! At
last ten metres I think I was happy | 1:46:39 | 1:46:46 | |
to stay on my feet and my legs were
really tired. There's so many | 1:46:46 | 1:46:49 | |
different ways the race that have
panned out but I could have been | 1:46:49 | 1:46:54 | |
fourth or fifth costs, so to come
away with a medal, there is no | 1:46:54 | 1:46:58 | |
disappointment is their | 1:46:58 | 1:46:59 | |
away with a medal, there is no
disappointment is their toll. Lets | 1:46:59 | 1:47:00 | |
have a word with Paula Radcliffe who
is in the commentary box. Eilish | 1:47:00 | 1:47:07 | |
McColgan also going in these heats.
I saw Laura in reception at the | 1:47:07 | 1:47:13 | |
hotel today. She looked incredibly
relaxed, looked like she'd recovered | 1:47:13 | 1:47:17 | |
well from last night. What will the
tactics be in these semis? I think | 1:47:17 | 1:47:24 | |
tactics will be to expend as little
energy as possible and stay out of | 1:47:24 | 1:47:27 | |
trouble and qualify safely. She said
after the race yesterday, her | 1:47:27 | 1:47:33 | |
trouble and qualify safely. She said
after the race yesterday, her | 1:47:33 | 1:47:33 | |
preparation has actually been easier
even though she had a hard race last | 1:47:33 | 1:47:37 | |
night for this race this evening
that it was for last night with the | 1:47:37 | 1:47:39 | |
fight to get here because of the
weather conditions. It's poor Eilish | 1:47:39 | 1:47:43 | |
in the second heat who has a much
more difficult qualifying act ahead | 1:47:43 | 1:47:48 | |
of her. In terms of confidence, we
talked last night about breaking | 1:47:48 | 1:47:53 | |
through finally, upgrading from
fourth to a podium finish in a | 1:47:53 | 1:47:57 | |
global championship. Will she have
woken up this morning with a | 1:47:57 | 1:48:01 | |
different feeling about herself?
Will that be the first thought on | 1:48:01 | 1:48:05 | |
her mind? That they when it happened
to you, what's it like? It's like a | 1:48:05 | 1:48:10 | |
weight is lifted off your shoulders.
She is known that she's been capable | 1:48:10 | 1:48:14 | |
of getting the world medal. We've
known it. But actually going out | 1:48:14 | 1:48:18 | |
there and delivering is something
different. She did that last night | 1:48:18 | 1:48:21 | |
so she now has the confidence that
that gives her and just the control | 1:48:21 | 1:48:26 | |
over the other girls that it gives
you, as well. She's no longer the | 1:48:26 | 1:48:29 | |
person who runs fast and can't quite
get there to the medal. She is the | 1:48:29 | 1:48:32 | |
person who runs fast and can get
there and get a medal. She is bigger | 1:48:32 | 1:48:36 | |
danger for the other athletes in
being confident herself. Thank you | 1:48:36 | 1:48:41 | |
very much. We'll join you shortly
for the first of those 1500 metre | 1:48:41 | 1:48:44 | |
semis. Let's the Steve Backley.
What's been happening in the early | 1:48:44 | 1:48:48 | |
exchanges in the long jump?
COMMENTATOR: very early stages in | 1:48:48 | 1:48:55 | |
this long jump final. Radek Juska,
third man to jump. | 1:48:55 | 1:49:07 | |
third man to jump. Sarah 's Leeds in
this round. | 1:49:09 | 1:49:18 | |
Know one over the eight-metre mark
yet. Good on the board, good height. | 1:49:19 | 1:49:29 | |
Good tension, good atmosphere in the
stadium this evening. The world's | 1:49:29 | 1:49:33 | |
best long jumpers. | 1:49:33 | 1:49:38 | |
best long jumpers. 7.99, Juska goes
into the lead. Shi China chasing | 1:49:38 | 1:49:49 | |
7.99. -- Shi of China. Wasn't good
on the board. Shi making some | 1:49:49 | 1:49:58 | |
adjustments or needing to. Top
eight, three further jumps. After | 1:49:58 | 1:50:04 | |
three jumps there will be that cut.
15 start. There is a cult of seven | 1:50:04 | 1:50:11 | |
after that three jumps -- there is a
cull of seven. We turn our attention | 1:50:11 | 1:50:22 | |
to Tyrone Smith, the oldest man in
the field at 33. Best this season of | 1:50:22 | 1:50:29 | |
7.7 seven. He's going to need all of
that and some to make that cut mark. | 1:50:29 | 1:50:40 | |
Ruswahl Samaai is keen to get
involved, standing behind him. One | 1:50:40 | 1:50:43 | |
of the really talented South African
jumpers all involved here this | 1:50:43 | 1:50:47 | |
evening. One on the right of your
screen, as well. Fairly deliberate | 1:50:47 | 1:50:55 | |
on the approach, good acceleration.
Just lengthens before the board, | 1:50:55 | 1:51:04 | |
Smith. That causes him to slow down
a little bit. 7.75 for Smith. | 1:51:04 | 1:51:15 | |
a little bit. 7.75 for Smith. Two
Laura Muir, then. The | 1:51:16 | 1:51:18 | |
bronze-medallist in the world indoor
Championships, setting out on a | 1:51:18 | 1:51:23 | |
quest to win another one hopeful in
the 1500 metres. Qualification here | 1:51:23 | 1:51:27 | |
I don't think we'll be too much of a
stretch. The first two in each heat. | 1:51:27 | 1:51:34 | |
Some good athletes in here. Louise
Gregor. Aisha Praught, Jamaican, | 1:51:34 | 1:51:40 | |
having a good year. | 1:51:40 | 1:51:47 | |
having a good year. Games everyday
of | 1:51:47 | 1:51:52 | |
of other -- gens Nvidia | 1:51:53 | 1:51:54 | |
I think the point about the
3,000-metre race, why you are more | 1:51:58 | 1:52:02 | |
tired is the really hard last
thousand metres. An even pace race | 1:52:02 | 1:52:07 | |
and a bit of a kick. | 1:52:07 | 1:52:13 | |
and a bit of a kick. They might not
run as quick in the final. This is a | 1:52:17 | 1:52:25 | |
hard 1500 metres, the 2000 metres
last night. Coming straight into a | 1:52:25 | 1:52:28 | |
1500 metre heat. The quality of
those two, Laura Muir and Dibaba | 1:52:28 | 1:52:34 | |
should see them through here. We
have lain disqualifications in the | 1:52:34 | 1:52:40 | |
3000. I was going to say at least no
one will get disqualified for | 1:52:40 | 1:52:47 | |
running out of their lain! Just talk
a bit quickly about running two | 1:52:47 | 1:52:52 | |
events in Championships when you
have that hesitancy of your bike, a | 1:52:52 | 1:52:59 | |
medal. It opens up the freedom to go
and run as you want and as you wish. | 1:52:59 | 1:53:04 | |
This is more familiar territory for
Laura, the 1500. It is, it's back to | 1:53:04 | 1:53:08 | |
her home event. To some extent she
had practice at this which is why | 1:53:08 | 1:53:13 | |
she did the double in Belgrade last
time. It certainly makes it easier | 1:53:13 | 1:53:17 | |
that it was a straight final in the
3000 metres. That's a completely | 1:53:17 | 1:53:21 | |
different kettle of fish when you're
trying to do it and have to run | 1:53:21 | 1:53:24 | |
heats in the 3000. Laura actually
ran the fastest 1500 of the year so | 1:53:24 | 1:53:29 | |
far in the second half of that race
last night. Faster than she had to | 1:53:29 | 1:53:34 | |
run to win the Scottish universities
indoors. She ran hard at that point. | 1:53:34 | 1:53:39 | |
She shouldn't hopefully have to run
that fast tonight to qualify, but | 1:53:39 | 1:53:43 | |
she has to be prepared and capable
of doing that, should someone else | 1:53:43 | 1:53:45 | |
decides to go out and make this hard
because she has to qualify | 1:53:45 | 1:53:49 | |
comfortable and with ease to stay on
track for the target she's set | 1:53:49 | 1:53:52 | |
herself. You can sort of see what
Aisha Praught is doing. She's run | 1:53:52 | 1:53:57 | |
fast this year but doesn't really
want to lead this all the way but | 1:53:57 | 1:54:01 | |
she was trying to entice someone
else to pick it up and so you end up | 1:54:01 | 1:54:05 | |
winning 33s and 34s which isn't
quick enough. It's not going to be | 1:54:05 | 1:54:09 | |
adorable but it's certainly not
going to mean that the other two | 1:54:09 | 1:54:12 | |
heats are going to think, crikey,
the first was quick! They are all | 1:54:12 | 1:54:17 | |
lining up there. Dibaba kicks going
to the front and moving back. Laura | 1:54:17 | 1:54:20 | |
Muir keeping out of trouble. | 1:54:20 | 1:54:29 | |
Muir keeping out of trouble. Luiza
Gega moves to the front. She has | 1:54:29 | 1:54:31 | |
good pace but it's not too quick
which I think Laura Muir will be | 1:54:31 | 1:54:35 | |
happy about. Nobody was keen to come
past Aisha Praught. Peres moved | 1:54:35 | 1:54:44 | |
round of the outside and put a bit
of pressure on her. And also by the | 1:54:44 | 1:54:48 | |
fact they all Northern is just
sitting there, waiting to kick at | 1:54:48 | 1:54:51 | |
some point is going to be Dibaba and
Laura Muir will follow her at that | 1:54:51 | 1:54:55 | |
point. They need to be in the first
two to guarantee themselves going | 1:54:55 | 1:54:58 | |
through to the final. Dibaba doing
what she likes to do. Get things | 1:54:58 | 1:55:02 | |
moving along. She'll wind this pays
up. Laura can decide to go with her | 1:55:02 | 1:55:09 | |
or sit and kick for second which I'm
sure she'll be able to do. A 32 is | 1:55:09 | 1:55:14 | |
picked up and Dibaba will keep doing
this, it'll stretch them out. Laura | 1:55:14 | 1:55:17 | |
Muir trying to make sure she's in
the controlling spot, which she is. | 1:55:17 | 1:55:22 | |
She is now deciding, I might as well
move past. Laura keeping an eye on | 1:55:22 | 1:55:26 | |
what's happening behind her. Praught
coming back again. | 1:55:26 | 1:55:34 | |
coming back again. Praught is
primarily a steeple chase and she | 1:55:36 | 1:55:38 | |
can finish first. She can finish as
fast as Laura Muir on best legs but | 1:55:38 | 1:55:43 | |
I'm tired legs -- tired legs she has
to make your she has a book that. | 1:55:43 | 1:55:51 | |
Keeping Dibaba inside. | 1:55:51 | 1:55:58 | |
Keeping Dibaba inside. She's got
three, four-metre and expends Seu | 1:55:58 | 1:56:02 | |
extends a bit but Praught is still
there. Laura just needs to be aware. | 1:56:02 | 1:56:07 | |
She looks comfortable, she's looking
at the screen. Dibaba will keep | 1:56:07 | 1:56:12 | |
going away and I'm sure Laura will
keep some distance between herself | 1:56:12 | 1:56:14 | |
and Aisha Praught who is well clear
of the rest. As expected, gens every | 1:56:14 | 1:56:20 | |
De Vanna and Laura qualify with ease
and it's ended up being reasonably | 1:56:20 | 1:56:26 | |
quick. | 1:56:26 | 1:56:31 | |
quick. Praught takes third. Not a
cancer there but also you didn't | 1:56:31 | 1:56:34 | |
have to turn on the burners. Didn't
have to really dig deep and kick | 1:56:34 | 1:56:38 | |
hard over the last 200, which is
good. It's those sort of heats that | 1:56:38 | 1:56:44 | |
sometimes make you a bit nervous. No
dramas for Laura and she'll feel | 1:56:44 | 1:56:48 | |
tired. You do. You can't not feel
tired. She would be delighted that's | 1:56:48 | 1:56:52 | |
over with and relieved. She will and
it's a funny thing, sometimes you | 1:56:52 | 1:56:57 | |
feel more tired in heat than in the
final just because you're not | 1:56:57 | 1:57:00 | |
prepared to completely go to the
wall in the heats unless it comes | 1:57:00 | 1:57:05 | |
down to a last-ditch attempt to get
yourself into the final. She was | 1:57:05 | 1:57:08 | |
trying to conserve as much energy as
possible. She ran it very sensibly, | 1:57:08 | 1:57:12 | |
chatting about the screen, checking
to the sides, sensing there's any | 1:57:12 | 1:57:17 | |
danger coming from either side of
her and just doing what she needed | 1:57:17 | 1:57:20 | |
to do down that home straight. She
has took the very fast. There were a | 1:57:20 | 1:57:26 | |
couple of quick laps by Dibaba. Kept
running through the line. There are | 1:57:26 | 1:57:34 | |
two more heats to go. The three
fastest loser spots, she must be in | 1:57:34 | 1:57:38 | |
with a chance and sets the bar for
others to aim at. | 1:57:38 | 1:57:49 | |
with a chance and sets the bar for
others to aim at. That was a | 1:57:49 | 1:57:51 | |
relatively slow race. The top two
spots me you had to get it. | 1:57:51 | 1:57:54 | |
Comfortable? Yeah. It was quite a
quick race for a heat. A bit scrappy | 1:57:54 | 1:58:00 | |
at the start. I tried to stay out of
trouble and followed Dibaba but | 1:58:00 | 1:58:05 | |
didn't go that hard. I kept an eye
on the screen for weather girls were | 1:58:05 | 1:58:11 | |
me and wanted to secure the second
spot. There was quite a lot of | 1:58:11 | 1:58:15 | |
shunting in the early part of the
race. What was it like trying to | 1:58:15 | 1:58:18 | |
find your rhythm? It was OK. I got
used to it. The start was scrappy | 1:58:18 | 1:58:25 | |
and a few people came out of
nowhere, stepping to the side of | 1:58:25 | 1:58:29 | |
things. It was mine and I got the
job done unscathed. All set for the | 1:58:29 | 1:58:33 | |
final tomorrow. The job is done and
you're through to the final | 1:58:33 | 1:58:36 | |
tomorrow. Let's think about
yesterday. What of the last -- what | 1:58:36 | 1:58:39 | |
have the last 24 hours be my? I've
not really had chance to celebrate. | 1:58:39 | 1:58:47 | |
Had to prepare for today and 1500
tomorrow. I'm so happy to have the | 1:58:47 | 1:58:53 | |
medal. Banks were speaking to us. | 1:58:53 | 1:58:59 | |
All happening in the last 500
metres. Aisha Praught dragged down | 1:59:04 | 1:59:12 | |
to a 4.07, which looks good for
qualifying spot, but those two | 1:59:12 | 1:59:15 | |
definitely true. Onto the second
heat in the women's 1500 metres. | 1:59:15 | 1:59:22 | |
Meraf Bahta, only 12 in the 3000
metres here. | 1:59:22 | 1:59:32 | |
metres here. Hanna Klein made the
final of the 1500 metres in the | 1:59:33 | 1:59:37 | |
Championships last year. Kate Van
Buskirk of Canada alongside her. | 1:59:37 | 1:59:41 | |
Dominique Scott, one of her four of
the nine who run in the 3000 metres. | 1:59:41 | 1:59:48 | |
Beatrice Chepkoech, infamous for
missing the job in the final of the | 1:59:48 | 1:59:54 | |
3000 metres steeplechase at the
championships. Eilish McColgan Randa | 1:59:54 | 1:59:58 | |
metres, as well. Her mother lives in
the 1989 world indoors, silver in | 1:59:58 | 2:00:05 | |
the 3000. Sixth in the 1300 which
I'm told was 13 minutes later. | 2:00:05 | 2:00:09 | |
That's a quick turnaround. | 2:00:09 | 2:00:15 | |
Stand back from the line, please,
ladies. Somebody with a tow line. | 2:00:15 | 2:00:28 | |
Chepkoech stars as the favourite
here. A bit of barging in the early | 2:00:30 | 2:00:35 | |
stages. Chepkoech wants none of
that. Slight advantage for these | 2:00:35 | 2:00:41 | |
runners that they know the first
he'd started slowly but built up to | 2:00:41 | 2:00:45 | |
a good pace. Times you are looking
for, fastest losers, 4.07, 90 four | 2:00:45 | 2:00:55 | |
Marta Perez of Spain. The two
fastest losers, if you don't make it | 2:00:55 | 2:01:02 | |
through as the automatic qualifiers.
Eilish McColgan sitting near the | 2:01:02 | 2:01:05 | |
back of the field as Beatrice
Chepkoech takes it out. There are | 2:01:05 | 2:01:08 | |
much easier ways to run 4.09 than
the girls who did in the first heat. | 2:01:08 | 2:01:12 | |
The girls in here looking up half
the night on the fastest loser spots | 2:01:12 | 2:01:16 | |
need to get moving earlier in the
race to give themselves a better | 2:01:16 | 2:01:20 | |
shot. This looks like a better pace
so far. Won at least we didn't | 2:01:20 | 2:01:24 | |
mention is Colleen Quigley. In
fourth place at the moment. Second | 2:01:24 | 2:01:28 | |
in the US Championships between
Shelley Hoolahan. Chepkoech takes a | 2:01:28 | 2:01:36 | |
glance at the screens. Won the
overall IAAF indoor tour title. Run | 2:01:36 | 2:01:42 | |
very quickly in Glasgow. 4.02. Shows
what form she's | 2:01:42 | 2:01:51 | |
what form she's in. Colleen Quigley
mixer move round the outside. I | 2:01:51 | 2:01:58 | |
think Bahta might have said
something in the qualifying stages | 2:01:58 | 2:02:01 | |
for this race today when she
realised she wasn't really in the | 2:02:01 | 2:02:03 | |
hunt. I'm not sure that Claudia
Michaela Bobbitt that. Chepkoech, if | 2:02:03 | 2:02:14 | |
she's in the form she was in last
week in Glasgow and she has been so | 2:02:14 | 2:02:19 | |
far in the 15 hundred metres, over
1500, then she's just running with | 2:02:19 | 2:02:22 | |
ease. I think that is a change from
the steeplechase to the 1500 metres | 2:02:22 | 2:02:26 | |
that may well stick further than the
Commonwealth. | 2:02:26 | 2:02:32 | |
I wonder how much was taken out of
the legs of Dibaba in the 3000 | 2:02:32 | 2:02:37 | |
metres, because Chepkoech will hope
it took out a great deal. She looks | 2:02:37 | 2:02:42 | |
so comfortable out in front, as
Bahta, and a Liz McColgan has made a | 2:02:42 | 2:02:47 | |
bit of a move to get into sixth
place, creeping around the outside | 2:02:47 | 2:02:50 | |
with that very, very long stride
alongside the South African | 2:02:50 | 2:02:56 | |
Dominique Scott and Colleen Quigley
and perhaps the pace has dropped a | 2:02:56 | 2:02:59 | |
little from Chepkoech. It's
beginning to bunch up a little more | 2:02:59 | 2:03:01 | |
at the moment. Starting to bunch up
and that gets dangerous when you've | 2:03:01 | 2:03:05 | |
got this many girls in there and
especially with legs as long as a | 2:03:05 | 2:03:10 | |
Eilish McColgan. She looked like she
would move wide, then realised there | 2:03:10 | 2:03:13 | |
were too many girls in front of her
Rand has lost the momentum she | 2:03:13 | 2:03:17 | |
started, and she has to start all
over again. We have seven or eight | 2:03:17 | 2:03:23 | |
athletes out front, Chepkoech
leading, they've closed behind her. | 2:03:23 | 2:03:26 | |
Colleen Quigley, the American in
fourth place, Dominique Scott of | 2:03:26 | 2:03:30 | |
South Africa, a leash McColgan, a
fall, Bahta is down and she will not | 2:03:30 | 2:03:36 | |
recover from there, I'm sure, was
just a couple of laps to go, a long | 2:03:36 | 2:03:40 | |
way back and the pain etched on her
face. What caused it, we'll find out | 2:03:40 | 2:03:45 | |
afterwards because there may be
something to say on that, but Bahta | 2:03:45 | 2:03:51 | |
could be given a run in finally she
was impeded because she was in a | 2:03:51 | 2:03:56 | |
very good position but she will not
get back into things in this race. | 2:03:56 | 2:03:59 | |
It might have been Colleen Quigley
who brought her down and she was | 2:03:59 | 2:04:03 | |
most disadvantaged by that. A Liz
did well to swerve wide. I'm not | 2:04:03 | 2:04:10 | |
sure she's got much left for this
final lap. Two go through | 2:04:10 | 2:04:16 | |
automatically three fastest losers.
Chepkoech is controlling things. | 2:04:16 | 2:04:19 | |
Dominique Scott running well,
Quigley of the United States running | 2:04:19 | 2:04:26 | |
around the outside and Dominique
Scott may be paying for the 3000 | 2:04:26 | 2:04:29 | |
metres there but she is hanging in,
the South African. Chepkoech of | 2:04:29 | 2:04:33 | |
Kenya out in front, then Van
Buskirk, Colleen Quigley trying to | 2:04:33 | 2:04:36 | |
find a way through and here comes
quickly around the Canadian to take | 2:04:36 | 2:04:40 | |
second, ahead of Van Scott and
McColgan crossing the line now, so | 2:04:40 | 2:04:45 | |
she will not go through but
Chepkoech certainly well and Bahta | 2:04:45 | 2:04:49 | |
may still go through because we will
wait to see what caused that fall | 2:04:49 | 2:04:55 | |
and if she was impeded. You can see
what it means to her to have fallen | 2:04:55 | 2:05:00 | |
there. McColgan perhaps the running
of the 3000 metres still in her legs | 2:05:00 | 2:05:07 | |
but apace she couldn't live with
this evening. No, she couldn't, she | 2:05:07 | 2:05:11 | |
said she hasn't felt herself in the
last couple of weeks and she didn't | 2:05:11 | 2:05:14 | |
look herself out there but that's
sad to see from Bahta. She may be | 2:05:14 | 2:05:19 | |
advanced to the final but is she
capable of running and running well | 2:05:19 | 2:05:22 | |
in the final now, because she has to
be her. She was basically run over | 2:05:22 | 2:05:26 | |
the top of.
This is Bahta, in behind Klein, and | 2:05:26 | 2:05:31 | |
quickly behind her clipped her
Quigley, who goes through, Quigley | 2:05:31 | 2:05:37 | |
did well to avoid her Rand did well
to go on and finish in second place, | 2:05:37 | 2:05:42 | |
but another look. | 2:05:42 | 2:05:49 | |
but another look. Yeah, there was
definitely a bit of argy-bargy going | 2:05:49 | 2:05:52 | |
on before that, a bit of armed
tangling around the bend and | 2:05:52 | 2:05:56 | |
probably in that Bahta is as much to
blame as Quigley is but it does look | 2:05:56 | 2:06:01 | |
as though... May be her knee caught.
I don't think it was intentional | 2:06:01 | 2:06:06 | |
from Colleen Quigley but it was
certainly caused by Colleen Quigley. | 2:06:06 | 2:06:10 | |
It's a good job she's a
steeplechaser because she did well | 2:06:10 | 2:06:13 | |
to keep going over her. If you were
a judge what would your decision be? | 2:06:13 | 2:06:20 | |
Bahta in great distress, obviously,
but... I don't know, can they | 2:06:20 | 2:06:24 | |
advance Bahta without disqualifying
Quigley? I don't think it was | 2:06:24 | 2:06:28 | |
intentional. But certainly... As it
stands at the moment Chepkoech and | 2:06:28 | 2:06:35 | |
Quigley going through as the
automatic qualifiers and Van Buskirk | 2:06:35 | 2:06:39 | |
just sneaks into the second of the
fastest losers at the moment ahead | 2:06:39 | 2:06:43 | |
of Perez of Spain. McColgan down in
sixth place. | 2:06:43 | 2:06:53 | |
Coming towards the end of the first
round of the long jump final, | 2:06:53 | 2:06:59 | |
Echevarria of Cuba, 19 years of age,
still know one beyond eight metres | 2:06:59 | 2:07:03 | |
yet. That is a long effort, he has a
season's best, a lifetime best, of | 2:07:03 | 2:07:14 | |
8.34 metres and the 19-year-old
looks as though he's come to play. | 2:07:14 | 2:07:20 | |
He shortens his stride, accelerates
in. Perfect board, absolutely | 2:07:20 | 2:07:24 | |
perfect board. A great tradition in
Cuba, of course, 8.19, Echevarria | 2:07:24 | 2:07:34 | |
takes the lead. Jarrion Lawson,
hugely talented US champion. First | 2:07:34 | 2:07:41 | |
round. | 2:07:41 | 2:07:46 | |
It's around the eight-metre mark.
It's a valid jump for Lawson. Maybe | 2:07:46 | 2:07:54 | |
just a bit of tension there, not
quite into his running yet, looking | 2:07:54 | 2:07:58 | |
to force it. Manyonga, the only man
who hasn't jumped to conclude this | 2:07:58 | 2:08:05 | |
first round. | 2:08:05 | 2:08:10 | |
first round. 7.92 Lawson in force,
expect more. -- in fourth place. | 2:08:10 | 2:08:17 | |
Here's Luvo Manyonga, the world
champion last year. Silver-medallist | 2:08:17 | 2:08:23 | |
in Rio by just one centimetre. His
opening job. It's huge! But it's a | 2:08:23 | 2:08:28 | |
foul. That's a massive effort. A big
smile from him. It shows what he's | 2:08:28 | 2:08:36 | |
capable of. But it is a foul. It
won't be measured. Five jumps | 2:08:36 | 2:08:44 | |
remaining. Manyonga looking in great
shape. | 2:08:44 | 2:08:47 | |
Still no news yet on that little
collision involving Bahta. I have a | 2:08:55 | 2:09:00 | |
feeling she may get advanced. I
don't think they'll disqualify | 2:09:00 | 2:09:03 | |
Quigley, but we'll see. Hassan in
this one who held up Laura Muir in | 2:09:03 | 2:09:11 | |
the 3000 beta final, Chebet, not
necessarily the best of the Kenyans. | 2:09:11 | 2:09:18 | |
Houlihan is back, Shelby Houlihan,
who didn't run a great race in the | 2:09:18 | 2:09:25 | |
final. She finished fifth, Henrik
started moving up to the 1500 | 2:09:25 | 2:09:33 | |
metres, it will be interesting to
see if she can build a career at | 2:09:33 | 2:09:38 | |
this event -- Anita Hinriksdottir.
Nilsson, the Swede, and Hassan. | 2:09:38 | 2:09:47 | |
Hassan doesn't always get the 1500
metres right. She missed out on a | 2:09:47 | 2:09:53 | |
medal in the 1500 metres, yet won
medal in the 5000, which she hates, | 2:09:53 | 2:09:59 | |
but she still getting to grips with
the longer distance. The one person | 2:09:59 | 2:10:03 | |
we didn't see there was a bit of a
threat here, say on -- Seyaum. | 2:10:03 | 2:10:17 | |
Hinriksdottir, who has one of the
most distinctive, lets calling that, | 2:10:17 | 2:10:23 | |
running actions, which we've got
used to seeing over the years and | 2:10:23 | 2:10:26 | |
she's always front run 800 metres.
Surely she doesn't think she can | 2:10:26 | 2:10:31 | |
then run 1500 metres in the same
way. If I'd ask you to bet who would | 2:10:31 | 2:10:37 | |
be at the front, you would put your
money on Hinriksdottir. She only | 2:10:37 | 2:10:41 | |
knows one way is to feel comfortable
racing and it's a step out of her | 2:10:41 | 2:10:46 | |
comfort zone to raise 1500 metres
indoors. Straightaway she goes to | 2:10:46 | 2:10:51 | |
the front. She does have that very
long loping stride and for that | 2:10:51 | 2:10:56 | |
reason she's probably more
comfortable running out on her Rome, | 2:10:56 | 2:10:59 | |
but I think she just relaxes more
that way. She's looked at those | 2:10:59 | 2:11:03 | |
times. What she needs to do to put
this raise up there for the | 2:11:03 | 2:11:07 | |
qualifying times to come from this
final race, and she's getting on | 2:11:07 | 2:11:10 | |
with it and getting it done and
Hassan, a stumble there already. I'm | 2:11:10 | 2:11:16 | |
surprised Hassan is quite so far up
early run but she's got involved. | 2:11:16 | 2:11:22 | |
Hinriksdottir setting a good pace
and they are certainly heading for | 2:11:22 | 2:11:30 | |
under 4.10. She's slowing a little
bit, the other is starting to bunch. | 2:11:30 | 2:11:34 | |
Seyaum is a talented young is the
opium, isn't always the best | 2:11:34 | 2:11:40 | |
tactically. You always have to watch
Arafi, the dangerous Moroccan. When | 2:11:40 | 2:11:43 | |
it comes to championship racing, she
has been found wanting over the | 2:11:43 | 2:11:50 | |
years. Shelby Houlihan will be
relying on her quick last 200 metres | 2:11:50 | 2:11:53 | |
but she can't give the Steele much
of a start. No, she's probably one | 2:11:53 | 2:11:58 | |
who is not happy to see
Hinriksdottir setting off at this | 2:11:58 | 2:12:01 | |
pace. It's only just outside four
minute pace. Even at 33 As she's | 2:12:01 | 2:12:08 | |
comfortably ahead of a 4.09 pace
that is needed to progress as a | 2:12:08 | 2:12:13 | |
fastest loser, so it's asking
questions of people in the field | 2:12:13 | 2:12:16 | |
already in the gaps are starting to
open up further back. She's got | 2:12:16 | 2:12:22 | |
through two seconds through 800
metres, 2.12, but she's slowing down | 2:12:22 | 2:12:26 | |
and Hinriksdottir, if you are trying
to run 1500 metres that's not really | 2:12:26 | 2:12:30 | |
the rate do it. You have to keep
building the pace, or you start a | 2:12:30 | 2:12:35 | |
bit slow and get quicker. Dawit
Seyaum thinking she doesn't want to | 2:12:35 | 2:12:43 | |
use this energy so she goes back.
Chebet and Seyaum and all of a | 2:12:43 | 2:12:48 | |
sudden there's a big bunch, being
controlled from the front. It's | 2:12:48 | 2:12:55 | |
sensible from Hassan, when you are
coming in on tired legs and when the | 2:12:55 | 2:12:58 | |
race has been set up for you, as it
has by Hinriksdottir so far, she | 2:12:58 | 2:13:03 | |
needs to make it a long run from
home. She can't rely on that change | 2:13:03 | 2:13:08 | |
of face she usually has when she's
up against Seo and Chebet, and Arafi | 2:13:08 | 2:13:14 | |
who has squeezed their way through.
A push at the back from Hendrix from | 2:13:14 | 2:13:19 | |
Iceland. -- from Bendix Dottie. The
change of pace, Hassan having to | 2:13:19 | 2:13:28 | |
find her elbows to try and hold up
Chebet. She will save it for the | 2:13:28 | 2:13:34 | |
last lap but keeps Chebet running
wide. Chebet wanted to cutting. | 2:13:34 | 2:13:39 | |
Houlihan, dangerous, lurking, the
American. They take the bell. What | 2:13:39 | 2:13:45 | |
about Hassan? Only top two by rights
here. All of these could go through, | 2:13:45 | 2:13:48 | |
they are quick enough. They could
run a big last lap. He closed Hassan | 2:13:48 | 2:13:57 | |
and Seyaum, tactically sometimes
badly conducting herself. -- here | 2:13:57 | 2:14:02 | |
goes Hassan. Chebet is holding the
second place, then Arafi. Houlihan | 2:14:02 | 2:14:09 | |
will come again but Hassan kicks
away. Chebet comes through in | 2:14:09 | 2:14:13 | |
second. They all go through there
and if Seyaum hadn't given up, as | 2:14:13 | 2:14:18 | |
she obviously did, she might have
got through but I don't think she | 2:14:18 | 2:14:21 | |
will. So it | 2:14:21 | 2:14:27 | |
will. So it will be Praught who goes
through as the fastest loser from | 2:14:27 | 2:14:31 | |
Laura's heat. Quicker than any of
those would have wanted partly | 2:14:31 | 2:14:34 | |
because Hinriksdottir took off. It
was nice to see her at the front for | 2:14:34 | 2:14:40 | |
a while. Hassan, Chebet, fast
finishing Houlihan doing well. The | 2:14:40 | 2:14:43 | |
big names are through. The big names
are all through apart from Seyaum, | 2:14:43 | 2:14:47 | |
who made a big tactical error. I
think she just went to hard when she | 2:14:47 | 2:14:53 | |
went and then she wasn't able to
maintain that. She tightened up and | 2:14:53 | 2:14:56 | |
you are right, she's doing that how
all a bit down the last straight and | 2:14:56 | 2:15:00 | |
threw away the chances of advancing
in that final fastest loser. | 2:15:00 | 2:15:11 | |
Second round of the long jump.
Season's best for Samaai but he's | 2:15:11 | 2:15:22 | |
capable of much more. Second jump.
Similar kind of distance. I think | 2:15:22 | 2:15:30 | |
you may have snapped over eight
metres, sunk a bit and lifted off | 2:15:30 | 2:15:34 | |
the board. He's sunk a little bit
into the board. Didn't carry speed. | 2:15:34 | 2:15:38 | |
Just prepared... That's close. Good
board, little bit to spare there. | 2:15:38 | 2:15:48 | |
Only one man so far over eight
metres. That's Juan Miguel | 2:15:48 | 2:15:55 | |
Echevarria of Cuba. | 2:15:55 | 2:16:00 | |
Echevarria of Cuba. Marquis Dendy,
hugely talented American. The | 2:16:01 | 2:16:04 | |
defending champion, wide eyes.
Somewhat 35 metres back. His legs | 2:16:04 | 2:16:10 | |
heavily strapped. In this the second
round... That looks over eight | 2:16:10 | 2:16:15 | |
metres, possibly. Not happy, shake
off the head there. For me, again, | 2:16:15 | 2:16:25 | |
just that preparation step. But
again, there are two techniques. The | 2:16:25 | 2:16:29 | |
straight leg run off the board or
that sink and leg. Either way, you | 2:16:29 | 2:16:33 | |
have to lower the hips and raise
them and carry speed across the | 2:16:33 | 2:16:36 | |
border to the distance. Here's the
man who can produce something big. | 2:16:36 | 2:16:41 | |
8.02 in third place. Right, John
Miguel active area of Cuba is in the | 2:16:41 | 2:16:49 | |
lead. 8.1 | 2:16:49 | 2:16:54 | |
lead. 8.1 nine. Second round jump. A
big effort. Is it valid? It is. | 2:16:55 | 2:17:03 | |
That's 19 years of age, Echevarria
has taken on some much more | 2:17:03 | 2:17:09 | |
experienced jumpers like the South
Africans. Team-mate even Prideaux | 2:17:09 | 2:17:20 | |
set, five times world indoor
champion. Echevarria extends his | 2:17:20 | 2:17:28 | |
lead. 8.28. Brilliant jump.
Fantastic from the youngster there. | 2:17:28 | 2:17:38 | |
Just to tidy up the 1500 metres
third heat. | 2:17:38 | 2:17:47 | |
As expected, the two fastest loser
spots going to Arafi and Houlihan. | 2:17:47 | 2:17:56 | |
Seyaum not going through. Let's look
at the full qualifiers. I still | 2:17:56 | 2:18:03 | |
think the big names are the ones
that will win the medals in the | 2:18:03 | 2:18:08 | |
three thousands could well be the
medallist in the 1500 metre final | 2:18:08 | 2:18:12 | |
when it happens tomorrow night. | 2:18:12 | 2:18:19 | |
The three big names through. | 2:18:21 | 2:18:26 | |
The light show behind us is because
the men are entering the arena for | 2:18:27 | 2:18:31 | |
the shot put final. You'll see them
shortly. Sorry, the women's shot put | 2:18:31 | 2:18:35 | |
final. I haven't seen the athletes
coming and I just knew there was a | 2:18:35 | 2:18:39 | |
shot put final tonight. Let's look
at the long jump which is definitely | 2:18:39 | 2:18:43 | |
men! You can tell us about
Echevarria who's put himself out | 2:18:43 | 2:18:49 | |
there with a fantastic jump. He's
someone I'd forgotten about. He's a | 2:18:49 | 2:18:55 | |
Cuban who is very good at jumping.
They've had a history of fantastic | 2:18:55 | 2:18:59 | |
jump. Pedrosa, my favourite jumper
of all time, is the most famous of | 2:18:59 | 2:19:03 | |
all. They have this conveyor Belt of
jumpers coming through and you can | 2:19:03 | 2:19:07 | |
see technically they love trying to
mimic the way Pedrosa would jump | 2:19:07 | 2:19:12 | |
with a 2.5 hitch which is movement
you year. Interesting that most long | 2:19:12 | 2:19:16 | |
jumpers struggle with 2.5. Even Carl
Lewis struggled to get all those | 2:19:16 | 2:19:20 | |
rotations out. Perfect on the board
and a good structure runway. This is | 2:19:20 | 2:19:30 | |
what we were talking about earlier.
The girls were doing it in the | 2:19:30 | 2:19:34 | |
heptathlon. It's about pushing
through to the right positions, | 2:19:34 | 2:19:36 | |
getting up right, attacking the
board, which is exactly what he did. | 2:19:36 | 2:19:39 | |
Came through for a lovely jump.
8.28, he is not messing around. | 2:19:39 | 2:19:44 | |
Gilbert is a bit of pressure on.
Luvo Manyonga will go out there and | 2:19:44 | 2:19:49 | |
do something very special. -- he
went out there and it's in special. | 2:19:49 | 2:19:53 | |
It was a foul but he's putting out a
marker for the left. He laughed it | 2:19:53 | 2:19:57 | |
off. This was the foul. He laughed
it off and waved to the crowd. This | 2:19:57 | 2:20:02 | |
is the foul. You can see he's
supremely confident. He has a nice | 2:20:02 | 2:20:10 | |
dry face, gets himself upright and
soaring through the air there. It | 2:20:10 | 2:20:16 | |
looks very dangerous. Is it shorter,
the pitch? The interesting thing in | 2:20:16 | 2:20:22 | |
the UK, we have a lot of one metre
this is the distance from the pit | 2:20:22 | 2:20:26 | |
and people aren't a huge fan of
that. Where you live now with | 2:20:26 | 2:20:34 | |
Jarrion | 2:20:34 | 2:20:34 | |
that. Where you live now with
Jarrion. | 2:20:34 | 2:20:39 | |
COMMENTATOR: Lawson getting ready
for his second attempt. He's in | 2:20:39 | 2:20:42 | |
fifth place. | 2:20:42 | 2:20:47 | |
fifth place. Well, stretching,
trying to reach further into the pit | 2:20:49 | 2:20:52 | |
but he's got no distance on that.
What's going on there? He's | 2:20:52 | 2:20:57 | |
accelerating in but then he is for
me a little bit low in the hips and | 2:20:57 | 2:21:02 | |
doesn't quite get through. Swells
the arms forward and comes in a bit | 2:21:02 | 2:21:07 | |
too premature into the pit. Maybe
reaching onto the board little bit | 2:21:07 | 2:21:12 | |
there. Lawson, stays in fifth place.
At the moment, it's the young man, | 2:21:12 | 2:21:25 | |
Echevarria of Cuba, 8.28, who is in
the lead. We have one athlete to | 2:21:25 | 2:21:32 | |
complete rounds two and it's the
main man, Luvo Manyonga. The man who | 2:21:32 | 2:21:42 | |
is highly fancied to take the title
here. But he did carry that foul in | 2:21:42 | 2:21:46 | |
the first round. It was a big foul.
A big jump but a long way over the | 2:21:46 | 2:21:51 | |
board, as well. | 2:21:51 | 2:21:56 | |
board, as well. Manyonga, round two.
Off a foul in the first round. It's | 2:21:56 | 2:22:00 | |
a big effort, it's a huge jump, but
it's another foul. He's not smiling | 2:22:00 | 2:22:05 | |
this time! Or maybe years. He knows
it's a big effort but he's put | 2:22:05 | 2:22:10 | |
himself under some pressure. I think
so, I think so. Great speed on the | 2:22:10 | 2:22:15 | |
runway but lengthening and putting
it over. Why we going to get to see | 2:22:15 | 2:22:19 | |
how much of a foul it is? It's a big
foul, it's a big foul. It's | 2:22:19 | 2:22:26 | |
inaccurate in terms of runway but
you can see and that plasticine | 2:22:26 | 2:22:30 | |
board, because it's raised gives you
a little more left. You often see | 2:22:30 | 2:22:33 | |
big jumps because it's like jumping
off a box so you get the lift and | 2:22:33 | 2:22:38 | |
that raises your centre of gravity
faster and harder than normal. Eight | 2:22:38 | 2:22:43 | |
athletes to complete and go forward
after three jumps. Manyonga is not | 2:22:43 | 2:22:49 | |
among them as we stand. One more job
to get among the cut. | 2:22:49 | 2:22:53 | |
If you can nail one of those could
be summing special coming out of the | 2:22:53 | 2:22:58 | |
world champion Luvo Manyonga
tonight. We are all looking for | 2:22:58 | 2:23:00 | |
something really special to come
from Katarina Johnson-Thompson in | 2:23:00 | 2:23:04 | |
about five minutes' time. She's in
pole position in the pentathlon. | 2:23:04 | 2:23:11 | |
We've expected so much from this
brilliant young athlete over the | 2:23:11 | 2:23:14 | |
years and she's always come up
against something troubling her in | 2:23:14 | 2:23:17 | |
her events at major championships
but she seems to have got things | 2:23:17 | 2:23:21 | |
right. | 2:23:21 | 2:23:31 | |
A powerful run and it's a personal
best. All smiles from Katarina | 2:23:31 | 2:23:37 | |
Johnson-Thompson. It's much better,
that's more like it. What a | 2:23:37 | 2:23:42 | |
performance from Katarina
Johnson-Thompson! | 2:23:42 | 2:23:50 | |
Johnson-Thompson! Johnson-Thompson
there to be shot at. The heat is on. | 2:23:50 | 2:23:52 | |
It should be her time now. She's in
a great position. She's in the lead | 2:23:52 | 2:24:00 | |
by 33 points. She has a better
800-metre time than her nearest | 2:24:00 | 2:24:04 | |
rival. It's about getting out there,
running from the front and just | 2:24:04 | 2:24:07 | |
doing what she can do. Not worrying
about the others around are jostling | 2:24:07 | 2:24:12 | |
for position. , no, it's her medal
to lose. She's in a great position | 2:24:12 | 2:24:18 | |
and she would hopefully have
visualised that this would be the | 2:24:18 | 2:24:20 | |
case. She has mature. I think this
is the time when she can step up, | 2:24:20 | 2:24:28 | |
run her own race. She can afford to
track if she wants to but I think | 2:24:28 | 2:24:31 | |
she'll go out and try to impress the
crowd, do herself justice and take a | 2:24:31 | 2:24:36 | |
box that has been missing for a
little while. The story of her day | 2:24:36 | 2:24:41 | |
started early this morning when the
women came out for the hurdles and | 2:24:41 | 2:24:45 | |
it's an event... It's not her best
but it's one that she usually start | 2:24:45 | 2:24:51 | |
with a good confident time and
performance and she did that today. | 2:24:51 | 2:24:55 | |
She looked slightly tense but trying
to get that event out of the way | 2:24:55 | 2:25:01 | |
with a half decent time is what she
did in order to go into the high | 2:25:01 | 2:25:04 | |
jump, something she is an excellent
athlete at. She's been approaching | 2:25:04 | 2:25:08 | |
it the right way today, nothing has
been getting on top of her. It's | 2:25:08 | 2:25:12 | |
that right balance from her. The
high jump is great but this for me | 2:25:12 | 2:25:17 | |
was the event were I thought, yes,
Kat, you got to grips with who you | 2:25:17 | 2:25:24 | |
are, what you are about, and you
delivered a performance that is | 2:25:24 | 2:25:26 | |
respectable for your standard of
shot putting. You can't ask for | 2:25:26 | 2:25:32 | |
more. Definitely not. It is one of
her weaker events so to get a PB is | 2:25:32 | 2:25:39 | |
a big thing. This long jump, we
could have expected more from it and | 2:25:39 | 2:25:42 | |
she was peppering around 6.5 metres.
She is a better jumper than that. | 2:25:42 | 2:25:49 | |
She had such a commanding lead and
took control. That's how it looks as | 2:25:49 | 2:25:53 | |
she heads into four lapse of this
track in front of a home crowd. A | 2:25:53 | 2:26:00 | |
home championships. Every British
athlete wants to be in that position | 2:26:00 | 2:26:03 | |
and the athletes are being
introduced to the crowd as they have | 2:26:03 | 2:26:06 | |
been five times today for each of
their events and expect when Kat | 2:26:06 | 2:26:12 | |
comes out, when she's introduced,
there will be an enormous work. She | 2:26:12 | 2:26:15 | |
has to focus on the job in hand. And
I think he will. She'll be focused | 2:26:15 | 2:26:21 | |
and really focusing on producing her
best performance. It really worked | 2:26:21 | 2:26:24 | |
for her today and I think she'll
continue. I don't think she let her | 2:26:24 | 2:26:31 | |
guard down. I think she understands
now that this has been a real lesson | 2:26:31 | 2:26:35 | |
for her that allows her to be able
to figure out, how do I get myself | 2:26:35 | 2:26:40 | |
emotionally prepared to go into
these major competitions and produce | 2:26:40 | 2:26:43 | |
my best performance and be the best
that I can be? Hopefully she's | 2:26:43 | 2:26:49 | |
learned that. It's not over yet.
She's still got to executes the 800 | 2:26:49 | 2:26:55 | |
metres. This isn't about the score.
CHEERING | 2:26:55 | 2:27:02 | |
Lovely reaction and a big smile. A
big smile. She's got to lap it up, | 2:27:02 | 2:27:06 | |
use the energy, the advantage of
being at a home championships gives | 2:27:06 | 2:27:10 | |
you. She's confident. She has no
theatre in the 800 metres. And a two | 2:27:10 | 2:27:16 | |
second lead, we think. Absolutely.
She'll utilise that. This is about | 2:27:16 | 2:27:21 | |
getting the medal, being the
favourite going into these | 2:27:21 | 2:27:23 | |
championships and delivering. We're
hoping and praying, wishing, that | 2:27:23 | 2:27:29 | |
it'll all come off for Katarina
Johnson-Thompson. | 2:27:29 | 2:27:33 | |
COMMENTATOR: Take nothing for
granted in sport but the crowd | 2:27:33 | 2:27:37 | |
expects and Katarina
Johnson-Thompson should know that if | 2:27:37 | 2:27:39 | |
she runs to their potential this
will be not a lap but four lapse of | 2:27:39 | 2:27:43 | |
honour on her way to a world indoor
title again. You may think two | 2:27:43 | 2:27:46 | |
seconds is very little but it is
significant, it's huge. 2.3 seconds | 2:27:46 | 2:27:50 | |
effectively a lead ahead of
everyone. Rodriguez is pretty clear. | 2:27:50 | 2:27:58 | |
Yorgelis Rodriguez of Cuba is one of
the fastest 800-metre runners out | 2:27:58 | 2:28:02 | |
there but she has to overhaul Dadic
by 4.4 seconds and nobody really | 2:28:02 | 2:28:07 | |
outside the medals. | 2:28:07 | 2:28:14 | |
outside the medals. Erica Bougard
might but she has a bit of an | 2:28:14 | 2:28:16 | |
injury. Katarina Johnson-Thompson
can work of people. Dadic will | 2:28:16 | 2:28:24 | |
perhaps work of Rodriguez or someone
else who is out there, and stay | 2:28:24 | 2:28:27 | |
close to them. Very difficult to
open a gap that would be able to | 2:28:27 | 2:28:30 | |
overhaul. We have seen it before.
150 points in 2016. Katarina | 2:28:30 | 2:28:43 | |
Johnson-Thompson should be
comfortable here. The first thing I | 2:28:43 | 2:28:47 | |
would have said to Kat is keep out
of trouble. There are too many | 2:28:47 | 2:28:54 | |
people in these first couple of laps
and they wouldn't normally be used | 2:28:54 | 2:28:58 | |
indoors to having so many around
them. She's doing that. The only | 2:28:58 | 2:29:02 | |
thing that can get in the way of her
winning a gold medal is surely her | 2:29:02 | 2:29:06 | |
tripping up. Let's not wish that
upon her and let's make sure... She | 2:29:06 | 2:29:11 | |
needs to make sure she keeps it nice
and clean, doesn't get into any | 2:29:11 | 2:29:15 | |
bother. I'd like to see her almost
running wide if necessary to make | 2:29:15 | 2:29:18 | |
sure that happens. It'd be great if
you could win this 800 at the end | 2:29:18 | 2:29:22 | |
but if you're going to win a world
title, a great way to do it is to | 2:29:22 | 2:29:26 | |
win the last event. The medal
positions at the moment, if only | 2:29:26 | 2:29:30 | |
that it is in silver medal position.
She's out in front. Katarina | 2:29:30 | 2:29:36 | |
Johnson-Thompson. Moving around the
outside, Bougard who is a strong 800 | 2:29:36 | 2:29:44 | |
runner. | 2:29:44 | 2:29:49 | |
runner. Dadic has run 2.14. Katarina
Johnson-Thompson hits the front and | 2:29:49 | 2:29:54 | |
a bit of a roar from the crowd.
Wishes controlling this nicely. | 2:29:54 | 2:29:58 | |
Wants to stay there, keep it out of
trouble, winding up gradually the | 2:29:58 | 2:30:03 | |
crowd are loving this, loving the
chance to say well done to Katrina | 2:30:03 | 2:30:06 | |
Johnson-Thompson. Can she get a win
in a last event? It's very crowded | 2:30:06 | 2:30:12 | |
at the front. I'm not sure anything
will change with regard to the | 2:30:12 | 2:30:17 | |
medals as the American... Those
three in the front lead and its | 2:30:17 | 2:30:20 | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the
gold medal position. Dadic pulls out | 2:30:20 | 2:30:29 | |
now. Katarina Johnson-Thompson says,
this is my race, my time, my title. | 2:30:29 | 2:30:33 | |
Sometimes in the past she's left the
biggest of stages with only | 2:30:33 | 2:30:37 | |
disappointment but here she will
leave with it all. She has the gold | 2:30:37 | 2:30:42 | |
medal! She is the world indoor
champion, silver will go to Ivona | 2:30:42 | 2:30:47 | |
Dadic and brands to Yorgelis
Rodriguez of Cuba. It is gold, | 2:30:47 | 2:30:50 | |
beautiful gold, for Katarina
Johnson-Thompson here in Birmingham. | 2:30:50 | 2:30:59 | |
Toni Minichiello alongside has
watched throughout and coached the | 2:30:59 | 2:31:02 | |
last British winner of this title in
2010, Jessica -- Jessica Ennis and | 2:31:02 | 2:31:08 | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson, it would
have been nice to see her against | 2:31:08 | 2:31:11 | |
Natalie Thiam but it's a great
springboard going forward. I think | 2:31:11 | 2:31:18 | |
she has to use as a springboard. My
concerns are in events by she's been | 2:31:18 | 2:31:23 | |
really good, like long jump, and we
seen jumps of 6.80, we are seeing | 2:31:23 | 2:31:29 | |
6.50. Is one of the worst long johns
she's ever done. We've just seen a | 2:31:29 | 2:31:35 | |
2.16 800, with the big three
missing. It's not convincing. But a | 2:31:35 | 2:31:38 | |
win is a win. You are world
champion. Use that, take the time, | 2:31:38 | 2:31:43 | |
let that an absorbing onto the
Commonwealth Games. She won | 2:31:43 | 2:31:46 | |
comfortable in the end from Ivona
Dadic with Rodriguez from Cuba in | 2:31:46 | 2:31:54 | |
bronze medal position, so silver to
Dadic but Katarina Johnson-Thompson, | 2:31:54 | 2:31:58 | |
it was impressive, it was dominant
in the end and again, we'll see | 2:31:58 | 2:32:01 | |
going forward how she can challenge
Nafi Thiam, who is herself the | 2:32:01 | 2:32:04 | |
dominant figure in the sport at the
moment. But Katarina | 2:32:04 | 2:32:08 | |
Johnson-Thompson this evening
belongs to her and Kevin Meyer, who | 2:32:08 | 2:32:14 | |
is going for gold in the men's
Stefflon, congratulate the winner of | 2:32:14 | 2:32:19 | |
the pentathlon. Great Britain and
Northern Ireland have their first | 2:32:19 | 2:32:23 | |
gold medal of these championships
and to the European indoor title, | 2:32:23 | 2:32:27 | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson now adds
the world title. | 2:32:27 | 2:32:33 | |
the world title. Great to see
Katarina Johnson-Thompson smiling, | 2:32:37 | 2:32:40 | |
celebrating, raising the British
flag will stop it's just wonderful | 2:32:40 | 2:32:45 | |
to see her thriving of the
championship. She showed lots of | 2:32:45 | 2:32:48 | |
character. She came into this
competition with expectations of | 2:32:48 | 2:32:53 | |
gold and she stood strong. A couple
of times when she was asked | 2:32:53 | 2:32:57 | |
questions and she has delivered here
across the whole of today. Great to | 2:32:57 | 2:33:02 | |
see her winning this final event,
the 800 metres, and taking gold. | 2:33:02 | 2:33:06 | |
Wonderful scenes. Great Britain's
first gold of these championships. | 2:33:06 | 2:33:12 | |
You could almost see a glint of a
tear in her eye as she came through | 2:33:12 | 2:33:16 | |
the mind, Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
We'll talk about the title and the | 2:33:16 | 2:33:20 | |
quality of the field, there are some
good athletes in there and more | 2:33:20 | 2:33:24 | |
importantly she has to beat those
athletes and deliver in an event | 2:33:24 | 2:33:27 | |
where things can go wrong, as we've
seen in the past. With Katarina | 2:33:27 | 2:33:31 | |
Johnson-Thompson it's never going to
be straight and study. It's always | 2:33:31 | 2:33:34 | |
going to be a roller-coaster ride
and you know what, that's why we | 2:33:34 | 2:33:38 | |
watch sport. That's why we watch
sport, for its unpredictability. | 2:33:38 | 2:33:44 | |
First gold medal of the
championships for the home team and | 2:33:44 | 2:33:49 | |
congratulations from Katarina
Johnson-Thompson from all of the | 2:33:49 | 2:33:51 | |
other competitors. It wasn't a quick
race, it wasn't a quick 800 metres, | 2:33:51 | 2:33:57 | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson
comfortable in 2.16 four stop those | 2:33:57 | 2:34:04 | |
two switched positions overall and
Dadic hang onto the silver medal | 2:34:04 | 2:34:08 | |
position ahead of Rodriguez, but
gold for Katarina Johnson-Thompson. | 2:34:08 | 2:34:13 | |
So flip second and third in the
overall standings as Ivona Dadic | 2:34:17 | 2:34:21 | |
able to hold on for the silver medal
ahead of Rodriguez of Cuba. Out in | 2:34:21 | 2:34:29 | |
front and comfortably so, Katarina
Johnson-Thompson winning that gold | 2:34:29 | 2:34:31 | |
medal. | 2:34:31 | 2:34:36 | |
medal. Gabby Logan Matt
congratulations, you are world | 2:34:39 | 2:34:43 | |
champion, Katarina Johnson-Thompson
and that will sound pretty good to | 2:34:43 | 2:34:45 | |
her arrears because she's come
close, she's had her wobbles in | 2:34:45 | 2:34:49 | |
major championships. It doesn't
matter who was there today, she beat | 2:34:49 | 2:34:51 | |
the field and did what she had to
do. She did what she had to do, she | 2:34:51 | 2:34:56 | |
raised her game, she's improved as a
competitor and that's been the bit | 2:34:56 | 2:35:01 | |
that was lacking. Today, she has
been the I hope she beat, -- she's | 2:35:01 | 2:35:10 | |
been the Kat I hoped she would be.
Today, she was gutsy and I love that | 2:35:10 | 2:35:16 | |
and I hope she believes this is
going to be the springboard to a | 2:35:16 | 2:35:19 | |
very, very exciting season. She has
put her stall out there. She will do | 2:35:19 | 2:35:25 | |
the Commonwealth Games and European
Championships and this could be the | 2:35:25 | 2:35:28 | |
year that she comes away with a bag
of medals. | 2:35:28 | 2:35:34 | |
GABBY LOGAN:
Indeed and this is an important | 2:35:34 | 2:35:37 | |
point, it could be the stepping
stone, the springboard this season | 2:35:37 | 2:35:40 | |
for her to cement and to put
together three big competitions, as | 2:35:40 | 2:35:43 | |
the knees have articulated there,
the Commonwealth and Europeans, that | 2:35:43 | 2:35:49 | |
when she goes into a World
Championship year she brings that | 2:35:49 | 2:35:53 | |
experience with her. I really like
the way this four year cycle is that | 2:35:53 | 2:35:58 | |
of athletes to take this year, work
on some things so that at the end of | 2:35:58 | 2:36:03 | |
the day it's about the World
Championships the Olympic Games, | 2:36:03 | 2:36:05 | |
outdoors, and that's what every
athlete once who has that potential. | 2:36:05 | 2:36:10 | |
She has certainly showed years ago
that she has the potential, so this | 2:36:10 | 2:36:14 | |
is a great stepping stone in the
right direction. As I said | 2:36:14 | 2:36:17 | |
yesterday, this was going to be
critical for her to have that | 2:36:17 | 2:36:21 | |
success here. It's not something I'm
sure that she'd like to talk about | 2:36:21 | 2:36:25 | |
in the past, it was always there for
her. You've got to get past and get | 2:36:25 | 2:36:31 | |
beyond the mistakes and be able to
string together a great performance | 2:36:31 | 2:36:34 | |
and show the best version of
yourself against the best in the | 2:36:34 | 2:36:39 | |
world and against the rest of the
world and she was able to do that | 2:36:39 | 2:36:42 | |
here. It bodes well for the future.
She's put some demons to bet there | 2:36:42 | 2:36:47 | |
important and now she has become a
world champion it will make it much | 2:36:47 | 2:36:50 | |
easier for her to go into the major
championships and think, I can do | 2:36:50 | 2:36:54 | |
this, I can win it. You have to win
it somewhere and at some point in | 2:36:54 | 2:36:57 | |
order to go on and have the
successes and this was the perfect | 2:36:57 | 2:37:04 | |
time for Kat to do that and it's
wonderful to see across-the-board | 2:37:04 | 2:37:07 | |
she had a pretty good time again.
She wasn't exceptional in some of | 2:37:07 | 2:37:09 | |
her she didn't events, need to be
today. She got it done and was an | 2:37:09 | 2:37:13 | |
exceptional champion to watch.
Katharine Merry is doing the stadium | 2:37:13 | 2:37:16 | |
interview with Kat and we will hear
from her speaking shortly but let's | 2:37:16 | 2:37:22 | |
have a look at this long jump
competition. Steve Backley. | 2:37:22 | 2:37:31 | |
Is Johnson-Thompson continues her
celebration, the long jump | 2:37:31 | 2:37:33 | |
continues. There has been no change,
round three. He's limping away, | 2:37:33 | 2:37:50 | |
Samaai, he may be hurt. He probably
took a sting there. He seems to be | 2:37:50 | 2:37:57 | |
all right. Great speed. Just the way
the foot hit the sand and then it | 2:37:57 | 2:38:05 | |
recoils, that's probably what he's
done. He's hyperextended the near | 2:38:05 | 2:38:10 | |
little bit as its hit the sand so
that's probably what has done it. | 2:38:10 | 2:38:15 | |
Hopefully he can run it off. 8.05, a
season's best for Samirah I, he | 2:38:15 | 2:38:22 | |
stays in second place. -- for
Samaai. Mokoena, ten years since he | 2:38:22 | 2:38:32 | |
Wing this title, languishing
slightly. | 2:38:32 | 2:38:38 | |
slightly. 7.53 and that's still
under, it's a foul anyway and that's | 2:38:38 | 2:38:42 | |
the end of his competition. So South
Africa, an ex-champion may be making | 2:38:42 | 2:38:51 | |
way to two youngsters, Samaai.
Mokoena there, Manyonga and Samaai | 2:38:51 | 2:39:01 | |
looking like they'll take his title.
Commonwealth Games contenders. | 2:39:01 | 2:39:07 | |
GABBY LOGAN:
Let's hear from the new world indoor | 2:39:07 | 2:39:11 | |
pentathlon champion, sounds good,
doesn't it, with JJ Chalmers. | 2:39:11 | 2:39:16 | |
It's a real honour to get to say
world champion. Yeah, I can't | 2:39:16 | 2:39:22 | |
believe it, actually. Doing it at
home is something I dream of doing. | 2:39:22 | 2:39:28 | |
I'm so happy I got to rectify it.
I'm happy I got the opportunity. Can | 2:39:28 | 2:39:34 | |
you put into words the emotions
here? There must be a real wash | 2:39:34 | 2:39:38 | |
between everything from jubilation
through to | 2:39:38 | 2:39:40 | |
between everything from jubilation
through to release, perhaps. Yeah, | 2:39:40 | 2:39:42 | |
for sure. All my family are here
today and that's something that | 2:39:42 | 2:39:45 | |
normally happens. I went through a
hard year last year towards the end | 2:39:45 | 2:39:49 | |
of the year and I wanted my family
to see me achieve something, so I'm | 2:39:49 | 2:39:55 | |
happy they got to be here and
witnessed it, every event all | 2:39:55 | 2:39:59 | |
afternoon. It's something I can't
believe, really. That's the thing | 2:39:59 | 2:40:02 | |
they get to see here today, but
you're away and fans working so | 2:40:02 | 2:40:06 | |
hard. Can you give us some sort of
idea of the level of sacrifice it | 2:40:06 | 2:40:09 | |
takes to become a world champion?
Yeah, it's been very difficult | 2:40:09 | 2:40:14 | |
especially last year. I had to leave
my two dogs in the hands of my mum. | 2:40:14 | 2:40:19 | |
The dogs have got very fat now! To
come home and see them, it's very | 2:40:19 | 2:40:23 | |
lonely out there in France. Not only
have my left my family and friends | 2:40:23 | 2:40:28 | |
but the language barrier is
different as well -- is difficult as | 2:40:28 | 2:40:33 | |
well. It's early days but can you
begin to think about how much of the | 2:40:33 | 2:40:37 | |
springboard this could be,
particularly for the outdoors? Yeah, | 2:40:37 | 2:40:40 | |
this is what I wanted, I wanted to
start winning medals and hopefully | 2:40:40 | 2:40:45 | |
this is the start of something.
We've got the Commonwealth Games | 2:40:45 | 2:40:48 | |
next month. It's something I want to
begin to do and thankfully got my | 2:40:48 | 2:40:52 | |
first competition come first
international competition. | 2:40:52 | 2:40:56 | |
Fantastic, thank you for talking to
us. Go and enjoy yourself. Thank you | 2:40:56 | 2:41:01 | |
very much.
STEVE CRAM: | 2:41:01 | 2:41:06 | |
very much.
STEVE CRAM: | 2:41:06 | 2:41:06 | |
Well done, Kat, everyone is very
proud of you. A medal for Great | 2:41:06 | 2:41:10 | |
Britain and well-deserved as well.
She's had to wait a while but it | 2:41:10 | 2:41:14 | |
makes it even more sweet, I'm sure.
We moved to the 400 metres | 2:41:14 | 2:41:18 | |
semifinals and what a tough one to
begin with four Eilidh Doyle. You've | 2:41:18 | 2:41:22 | |
seen the Springer, who is produced a
superfast time this year and this | 2:41:22 | 2:41:26 | |
very talented young American here,
Wembley, of the United States. She's | 2:41:26 | 2:41:34 | |
a great person for Eilidh Doyle to
work off -- Shakima Wimbley. Only | 2:41:34 | 2:41:37 | |
the first two into the | 2:41:37 | 2:41:43 | |
the first two into the final and
Eilidh Doyle knows she's got a tall | 2:41:43 | 2:41:45 | |
order to take those two on outside
although Lias brother looked as | 2:41:45 | 2:41:50 | |
though she was working harder than
her season's best might have | 2:41:50 | 2:41:53 | |
suggested. -- Lea Sprunger. | 2:41:53 | 2:42:00 | |
suggested. -- Lea Sprunger. The
Lithuanian in lane three. | 2:42:00 | 2:42:06 | |
Lithuanian in lane three. Ukrainian
setting a new personal best in | 2:42:07 | 2:42:10 | |
qualifying for this semifinal.
Bezekova from the Slovak Republic. | 2:42:10 | 2:42:19 | |
Bezekova from the Slovak Republic. I
don't think Eilidh Doyle is going to | 2:42:19 | 2:42:21 | |
be able to necessarily match the two
for pace. The only thing that may | 2:42:21 | 2:42:26 | |
happen is they may reason each other
and she just needs to be there to | 2:42:26 | 2:42:29 | |
pick up pieces as well, if they
overcook this and Lea Sprunger a | 2:42:29 | 2:42:33 | |
little vulnerable. I was impressed
with Shakima Wimbley. So Eilidh | 2:42:33 | 2:42:42 | |
Doyle trying to make it through to
the 400 finals. Zoey Clark yet to | 2:42:42 | 2:42:47 | |
come on the other semis. | 2:42:47 | 2:42:58 | |
Watching 4-lane infringements, which
we saw happen in the men's event. | 2:43:03 | 2:43:06 | |
Eilidh Doyle has started pretty well
down the back straight. As expected, | 2:43:06 | 2:43:13 | |
Lea Sprunger and Shakima Wimbley
have done out quick. Sprunger will | 2:43:13 | 2:43:22 | |
try to come across. Sprunger allows
Wimbley to control it and Eilidh | 2:43:22 | 2:43:30 | |
Doyle has the inside curve. These
three with a metre or so, the | 2:43:30 | 2:43:37 | |
Lithuanian in green and yellow. Look
at Wembley, controlling this from | 2:43:37 | 2:43:42 | |
the front, those long legs of hers
stretching out. Lias brother might | 2:43:42 | 2:43:46 | |
just fade in the home straight.
Sprunger goes away, Wimbley will win | 2:43:46 | 2:43:54 | |
this from Sprunger, that's the form
book right there and Eilidh Doyle in | 2:43:54 | 2:43:57 | |
third place. She didn't do anything
wrong, Eilidh Doyle, that's as good | 2:43:57 | 2:44:00 | |
as she could have hoped for there.
She got herself in a decent position | 2:44:00 | 2:44:05 | |
and was there, ready, if Sprunger or
Wimbley were to get it wrong and | 2:44:05 | 2:44:09 | |
fade but they didn't, they stayed
strong and in the end Eilidh Doyle | 2:44:09 | 2:44:12 | |
was third will stop the form book
said that was what was going to | 2:44:12 | 2:44:16 | |
happen. | 2:44:16 | 2:44:20 | |
happen. The stadium has fallen
silent, but there's nothing to be | 2:44:20 | 2:44:24 | |
ashamed of. She ran to her
abilities. Sprunger and Wimbley were | 2:44:24 | 2:44:29 | |
the favourites to take the two
automatic qualifying places. | 2:44:29 | 2:44:33 | |
Sprunger is the quickest
non-American this year in the world. | 2:44:33 | 2:44:40 | |
Sprunger, we thought she might fade
a little bit but she's been running | 2:44:42 | 2:44:45 | |
so well this season, the tall Swiss
athlete and Eilidh Doyle unable to | 2:44:45 | 2:44:49 | |
close it. It's not all over yet
because two, no, it's just the first | 2:44:49 | 2:44:57 | |
two straight through to the final,
there are no fastest losers. So | 2:44:57 | 2:44:59 | |
Eilidh Doyle will not go through.
Wimbley and Sprunger. Doyle unable | 2:44:59 | 2:45:04 | |
to close the gap. It goes according
to the form book. It was a good, | 2:45:04 | 2:45:08 | |
clean race. She didn't do anything
wrong in that race. She got in a | 2:45:08 | 2:45:12 | |
good position but was unable to
close on Sprunger. The time 51.34, | 2:45:12 | 2:45:20 | |
51.71, a bit slower than Eilidh
Doyle's season best but we'll get | 2:45:20 | 2:45:24 | |
her views on how she figures that
third place looks. | 2:45:24 | 2:45:29 | |
beautiful gold, for Katarina
Johnson-Thompson here in Birmingham. | 2:45:29 | 2:45:32 | |
A solid performers, are you happy?
Yes, I knew it would be very tough | 2:45:32 | 2:45:41 | |
with the American in that race and
Sprunger. It would have been great | 2:45:41 | 2:45:47 | |
to make the final but this is all a
process to the Commonwealth Games. | 2:45:47 | 2:45:55 | |
You've had a great solid run, commie
beanpole at point. A lot of stuff to | 2:45:55 | 2:46:00 | |
take forward to the Commonwealth is.
Death at that. Trying to work on | 2:46:00 | 2:46:06 | |
that first 200 so I could be like
that out on the hurdles. I need to | 2:46:06 | 2:46:11 | |
get that the hurdles now. You've
been great to watch, thanks for | 2:46:11 | 2:46:15 | |
talking | 2:46:15 | 2:46:15 | |
been great to watch, thanks for
talking to us. . | 2:46:15 | 2:46:21 | |
COMMENTATOR: Lawson, 7.92, in sixth
place. He is not guaranteed a | 2:46:21 | 2:46:27 | |
further three jobs if peoples 's
finger out. Sixth place. Only eight | 2:46:27 | 2:46:31 | |
get a further three jobs so it's not
guaranteed. That may be slightly | 2:46:31 | 2:46:35 | |
better. He's very quick. Sub ten
second 100-metre sprint. Not using | 2:46:35 | 2:46:41 | |
it to great effect here. May be
creeping over eight metres. I think | 2:46:41 | 2:46:51 | |
that will be enough to get him
through to the top eight and getting | 2:46:51 | 2:46:55 | |
those extra two jumps, get him to
the fourth and fifth round. Only | 2:46:55 | 2:46:58 | |
four athletes progressing to six. Up
into third place. Real pressure | 2:46:58 | 2:47:07 | |
moment here for the outdoor world
champion, Luvo Manyonga, who has to | 2:47:07 | 2:47:13 | |
get into the top eight here. Third
attempt. Oh, look at that! He's a | 2:47:13 | 2:47:20 | |
class apart. That looked really in
control. It's way beyond eight | 2:47:20 | 2:47:28 | |
metres. As casual as you like!
Corrected his runway. The upper body | 2:47:28 | 2:47:36 | |
is upright. Rotates the arms and
into a great landing position. | 2:47:36 | 2:47:39 | |
That's class, that's class. It is
class indeed. He needed to deliver, | 2:47:39 | 2:47:46 | |
made the adjustment. 8.33 takes the
lead. At the halfway stage. | 2:47:46 | 2:47:52 | |
Brilliant jump for Manyonga. Second
of three semifinals and Eilidh Doyle | 2:47:52 | 2:47:57 | |
does not go through from the first,
but Zoey Clark will try for Great | 2:47:57 | 2:48:01 | |
Britain and Northern Ireland here.
Not the worst semifinal for | 2:48:01 | 2:48:04 | |
Stephenie Ann McPherson, she'll be
strong in this one. There is Clark. | 2:48:04 | 2:48:12 | |
This was supposed to be just
preparation for the Commonwealth | 2:48:12 | 2:48:17 | |
Games. That was the target. Running
so well on the brink of making a | 2:48:17 | 2:48:21 | |
final. Stephanie McPherson perhaps
facing the wrong way. She's getting | 2:48:21 | 2:48:27 | |
better. So experienced. Madiea
Ghafoor, the Dutch champion. Again, | 2:48:27 | 2:48:36 | |
very powerful athlete. | 2:48:36 | 2:48:45 | |
very powerful athlete. Justyna
Swiety-Ersetic here. Perhaps got it | 2:48:45 | 2:48:47 | |
slightly wrong in the heats, lest it
very late. That is her trademark but | 2:48:47 | 2:48:51 | |
you can't leave too much to do here.
Raphaela Boaheng Lukudo of Italy | 2:48:51 | 2:48:58 | |
goes in lane two and only inside the
German champion Nadine Gonska. | 2:48:58 | 2:49:07 | |
Just two go through, no fastest
losers here. Three semifinals and | 2:49:07 | 2:49:10 | |
Zoey Clark, lane six, a good lane
she has courtesy of her victory in | 2:49:10 | 2:49:18 | |
the first round. McPherson just
inside and Madiea Ghafoor, her main | 2:49:18 | 2:49:27 | |
challenge will come from there.
Britain have only had three | 2:49:27 | 2:49:30 | |
finalists in this event. Sally
Gunnell in 1989. Catherine Murphy in | 2:49:30 | 2:49:36 | |
2003. Katrina Cox in 2012. We are
hearing that Leah Springer has been | 2:49:36 | 2:49:43 | |
disqualified -- Lea Sprunger has
been disqualified for a lane | 2:49:43 | 2:49:49 | |
infringement. We've seen it happen
before and it has happened to, if | 2:49:49 | 2:49:54 | |
not one of the favourites, one who
certainly could have challenged for | 2:49:54 | 2:49:56 | |
a medal. So Eilidh Doyle will go
through to that final. Not official | 2:49:56 | 2:50:04 | |
yet, but... Good news from Eilidh
Doyle's point of view. Second | 2:50:04 | 2:50:11 | |
semifinal of the women's 400 metres.
Zoey Clark on the outside, Stephenie | 2:50:11 | 2:50:20 | |
Ann McPherson chasing her down.
Madiea Ghafoor in the bright orange | 2:50:20 | 2:50:24 | |
vest of the Netherlands with Justyna
Swiety-Ersetic. You can get in the | 2:50:24 | 2:50:30 | |
best position as they break and hit
the band? Stephenie Ann McPherson | 2:50:30 | 2:50:34 | |
looks to be in front as she round
the bend but Swiety-Ersetic is | 2:50:34 | 2:50:40 | |
running well for Poland. The
Jamaican Stephenie Ann McPherson | 2:50:40 | 2:50:43 | |
running a little wide there around
the bend but Zoey Clark in a decent | 2:50:43 | 2:50:48 | |
place at the moment. Stephenie Ann
McPherson out in front, two go | 2:50:48 | 2:50:50 | |
through only from this. Madiea
Ghafoor chasing down Zoey Clark. | 2:50:50 | 2:50:54 | |
Zoey Clark glances at the screen.
Stephenie Ann McPherson out at the | 2:50:54 | 2:50:58 | |
moment. A strong finish for the
Polish athlete, Swiety-Ersetic. | 2:50:58 | 2:51:08 | |
Stephenie Ann McPherson takes it.
Oh, so close at the line! Justyna | 2:51:08 | 2:51:13 | |
Swiety-Ersetic was getting closer
and closer all the time. Clark | 2:51:13 | 2:51:18 | |
didn't fade and she looks to the
board and we look to our computers | 2:51:18 | 2:51:23 | |
and that was close. I wonder if
Swiety-Ersetic got it for Poland. | 2:51:23 | 2:51:29 | |
McPherson is safely through and we
wait. I wish Zoey hadn't spent so | 2:51:29 | 2:51:37 | |
much time looking at the screen in
the back straight. She looked | 2:51:37 | 2:51:40 | |
comfortable and if she concentrated
more... She tried to respond to | 2:51:40 | 2:51:46 | |
Swiety-Ersetic coming through. She
seems in control and then all of a | 2:51:46 | 2:51:50 | |
sudden realises, hang on,
Swiety-Ersetic is there, tried to | 2:51:50 | 2:51:55 | |
respond, really hard to respond so
late and on the lean, Swiety-Ersetic | 2:51:55 | 2:52:00 | |
has got the verdict, not by much. I
think three thousandths we're | 2:52:00 | 2:52:06 | |
seeing. What a shame because Zoey
would have looked at that semi when | 2:52:06 | 2:52:11 | |
it was drawn and thought, I had a
great chance to go through. It was | 2:52:11 | 2:52:14 | |
close but was it a slightly early
lean? She was learning from five | 2:52:14 | 2:52:20 | |
metres out, Zoey Clark and
Swiety-Ersetic finishing strongly. | 2:52:20 | 2:52:24 | |
Zoey Clark still had plenty to give
but it's that change of pace and at | 2:52:24 | 2:52:28 | |
this pace you can't quite inject
that when you're running. It's hard | 2:52:28 | 2:52:31 | |
to respond when someone comes along
side you. You're trying to maintain | 2:52:31 | 2:52:34 | |
anyway. It's been flipped.
MacPherson has been disqualified. | 2:52:34 | 2:52:42 | |
Stephenie Ann McPherson has been
disqualified than aware it was, it | 2:52:42 | 2:52:49 | |
was the first bend, I was watching
her and she took a couple of steps. | 2:52:49 | 2:52:53 | |
MacPherson on the first bend, I'm
convinced that's where it was. It | 2:52:53 | 2:52:59 | |
seemed as if it were agony for the
British. She tried to respond there, | 2:52:59 | 2:53:03 | |
Clark. You can see it and that dip
and Swiety-Ersetic tried to take it. | 2:53:03 | 2:53:10 | |
Stephenie Ann McPherson has been
disqualified. We saw in the men's | 2:53:10 | 2:53:14 | |
400 metres earlier today mass
disqualifications and Eilidh Doyle | 2:53:14 | 2:53:18 | |
has gone through because of a
personification of Lea Sprunger. In | 2:53:18 | 2:53:22 | |
the second semifinal, Zoey Clark
will go through with Justyna | 2:53:22 | 2:53:27 | |
Swiety-Ersetic because Stephenie Ann
McPherson, it is official now, she | 2:53:27 | 2:53:30 | |
has been disqualified. Zoey Clark
and Eilidh Doyle both going through | 2:53:30 | 2:53:32 | |
to the final and Zoey Clark talking
to JJ. Zoey Clark, | 2:53:32 | 2:53:37 | |
to the final and Zoey Clark talking
to JJ. Zoey Clark, I can say, it is | 2:53:37 | 2:53:39 | |
official that you are in second
place, through to the final. What a | 2:53:39 | 2:53:43 | |
swing of emotion. It's a bit crazy.
It was so close between me and the | 2:53:43 | 2:53:48 | |
other girl on the line and I thought
I'd missed out. I wasn't sure what | 2:53:48 | 2:53:51 | |
to think now. Let me know what
you're thinking on that home | 2:53:51 | 2:53:56 | |
straight as you saw her coming into
your vision. You seemed to double | 2:53:56 | 2:53:59 | |
down a bit. I think I didn't really
get that race right. I eased off a | 2:53:59 | 2:54:05 | |
bit too much and Stu was coming
through strong. It's hard to find | 2:54:05 | 2:54:08 | |
that extra gear once you already
kind of held off a bit. I guess | 2:54:08 | 2:54:12 | |
we've got another chance to redeem
myself tomorrow. You into a final to | 2:54:12 | 2:54:17 | |
World Championships, had does feel?
Amazing to be in the final in an | 2:54:17 | 2:54:22 | |
individual event. It's the first to
me, so I'm really delighted. What a | 2:54:22 | 2:54:26 | |
way to get in! It was fantastic to
watch. Best of luck. Thanks very | 2:54:26 | 2:54:31 | |
much, thank you. | 2:54:31 | 2:54:31 | |
watch. Best of luck. Thanks very
much, thank you. There's | 2:54:31 | 2:54:36 | |
confirmation of the first semifinal.
Eilidh Doyle is now there. I can't | 2:54:36 | 2:54:41 | |
really see where Lea Sprunger was
disqualified. I'd avidly sought | 2:54:41 | 2:54:47 | |
McPherson over the line. We have two
bricks in the final. Back to this | 2:54:47 | 2:54:54 | |
long jump with Manyonga in front.
He's taken the lead away from the | 2:54:54 | 2:55:00 | |
Cuban. File in the third round but
now four. What a huge response from | 2:55:00 | 2:55:08 | |
the youngster. 8.33. | 2:55:08 | 2:55:17 | |
the youngster. 8.33. Joanne Miguel
Echevarria has taken it back to him. | 2:55:17 | 2:55:19 | |
The audacity of the young man. Just
the competitive nature, the ability | 2:55:19 | 2:55:26 | |
to respond. Absolutely superb. What
is the distance? He's clapping. 8.3 | 2:55:26 | 2:55:34 | |
six. He goes into the lead with a
personal best performance in the | 2:55:34 | 2:55:38 | |
fourth round. What a brilliant jump
that was from the Young Cuban. But | 2:55:38 | 2:55:43 | |
Luvo Manyonga has two fouls and
8.33. Chasing that lead. Well, if | 2:55:43 | 2:55:54 | |
it's a white flag, it looks long. It
is! Manyonga, great responding jump. | 2:55:54 | 2:56:02 | |
What a phenomenal competition, it
ages on and edges on. That looks | 2:56:02 | 2:56:07 | |
close on the board but he's got the
white flag. Love how he runs free, | 2:56:07 | 2:56:14 | |
love his extension. Brilliant on the
board and a superb response to a | 2:56:14 | 2:56:20 | |
huge leap from the Cuban, 8.3 six.
He's stretching everything out of | 2:56:20 | 2:56:26 | |
that now. Oh, this is going to be
close! 8.44! A new world lead. Takes | 2:56:26 | 2:56:34 | |
the lead. Two jumps remaining. The
last semifinal. Phil Healy going for | 2:56:34 | 2:56:43 | |
Ireland. | 2:56:43 | 2:56:51 | |
Ireland. Courtney Okolo of the USA
may well be the favourite here | 2:56:51 | 2:56:54 | |
although Jenkins has the outside
lane, the Jamaican didn't look too | 2:56:54 | 2:56:58 | |
good to me in the qualification.
Let's see who gets disqualified this | 2:56:58 | 2:57:04 | |
time! One talking point is the lack
of discipline of the athlete and | 2:57:04 | 2:57:07 | |
also the fact we are having these
finals ruined, really, the 400-metre | 2:57:07 | 2:57:14 | |
races. It's becoming a bit of a
lottery and so many of the big names | 2:57:14 | 2:57:17 | |
will not be contesting it. That
leaves the door open for others. It | 2:57:17 | 2:57:23 | |
is up to the athletes not to
compress -- | 2:57:23 | 2:57:31 | |
Is not super quick but quick enough.
Jenkins trying to get going. | 2:57:31 | 2:57:39 | |
Belimpasaki feeling her come to the
side of her. Belimpasaki may | 2:57:41 | 2:57:47 | |
challenge to get the second spot is
Jenkins fades. 51.8 one. | 2:57:47 | 2:57:59 | |
Jenkins fades. 51.8 one. Zoey Clark
and Eilidh Doyle will join them. We | 2:57:59 | 2:58:03 | |
have to wait and see in each race
now, find out. We do the commentary | 2:58:03 | 2:58:08 | |
and we do the replay and don't know
if they've got through. Subject to | 2:58:08 | 2:58:13 | |
conditions! I just saw Maria Brown
sacking. She's got wide arms in her | 2:58:13 | 2:58:16 | |
running style -- Maria Belimpasaki.
She was keeping Jenkins further and | 2:58:16 | 2:58:24 | |
further out. Phil Healy not going
through their butt Okolo was fairly | 2:58:24 | 2:58:31 | |
untroubled. I didn't see any lane
infringements. The Greek athlete | 2:58:31 | 2:58:38 | |
isn't good to look at what she ran
quite cleverly because Jenkins is | 2:58:38 | 2:58:42 | |
not the tidiest runner and she kept
her lane and kept her out but | 2:58:42 | 2:58:45 | |
nothing much to report there.
Courtney Okolo pretty strong. Well, | 2:58:45 | 2:58:54 | |
the 400 metres here in Birmingham
continues to deliver all kinds of | 2:58:54 | 2:58:58 | |
shocks and surprises. It really is
turning into something of a lottery. | 2:58:58 | 2:59:03 | |
After the heat this morning when we
saw in the men's whole heat | 2:59:03 | 2:59:05 | |
disqualified which has never
happened before in the history of | 2:59:05 | 2:59:10 | |
major championships, that a whole
heat has been disqualified. We saw | 2:59:10 | 2:59:14 | |
the two British athletes benefit
from disqualifications and elevated | 2:59:14 | 2:59:16 | |
to the final which will take place
tomorrow evening. We have taken a | 2:59:16 | 2:59:20 | |
close look at Stephenie Ann
McPherson, the Jamaican, and her | 2:59:20 | 2:59:25 | |
disqualification. Michael, cast your
beady eyes over this. Yeah, this | 2:59:25 | 2:59:29 | |
is... Denise and I were just saying,
she is on the inside lane with the | 2:59:29 | 2:59:36 | |
outside foot. That's a blatant!
LAUGHTER | 2:59:36 | 2:59:41 | |
Yeah, I mean, that's blatant. You
can't get away with that. We wonder | 2:59:41 | 2:59:44 | |
whether she may have known. I don't
think she did because she's not | 2:59:44 | 2:59:47 | |
looking down to see that clearly on
the inside lane and that's just a | 2:59:47 | 2:59:52 | |
major violation and she's still on
the lane, | 2:59:52 | 2:59:55 | |
major violation and she's still on
the lane, on the line rather. That's | 2:59:55 | 2:59:56 | |
unfortunate because she was one of
the athletes that would figure into | 2:59:56 | 2:59:59 | |
the medals. We were saying, I don't
know if there's something about the | 2:59:59 | 3:00:04 | |
outside lane and the way the track
is but athletes seem to have a lane | 3:00:04 | 3:00:09 | |
violation as they come out of that
bank. They come down the hill into | 3:00:09 | 3:00:12 | |
the straight. It looks that way.
Five has been predominantly an issue | 3:00:12 | 3:00:17 | |
but we need to check that out. That
moment you're carrying, I don't know | 3:00:17 | 3:00:22 | |
whether they are just wobbling out
of balance or something but it seems | 3:00:22 | 3:00:25 | |
to be a common thread. We touched on
it earlier, it doesn't looks like | 3:00:25 | 3:00:30 | |
the banks are too high so you
wouldn't expect that. There are | 3:00:30 | 3:00:32 | |
certain tracks around the world
where it is a bit like a velodrome. | 3:00:32 | 3:00:36 | |
Where is here it's not like that but
also its confusing as to why that | 3:00:36 | 3:00:39 | |
happens. | 3:00:39 | 3:00:42 | |
Let's look at the long jump
competition, which is really hotting | 3:00:42 | 3:00:46 | |
up. We had a wonderful | 3:00:46 | 3:00:50 | |
competition, which is really hotting
up. We had a wonderful wonderful few | 3:00:50 | 3:00:51 | |
minutes where Manyonga responded to
Echevarria with this fantastic | 3:00:51 | 3:00:53 | |
charm. He's shown his class here,
the reason he's the world champion | 3:00:53 | 3:00:59 | |
from last year. He has a great drive
through for his run-up and manages | 3:00:59 | 3:01:04 | |
with a slightly extended foot in
front of him to really load it in a | 3:01:04 | 3:01:09 | |
positive way to come through the
distance. If you put out your foot | 3:01:09 | 3:01:13 | |
in front of you and drag through
it's a lot of pressure on your | 3:01:13 | 3:01:16 | |
hamstrings. He is able to control
that and produce these fantastic | 3:01:16 | 3:01:20 | |
jumps. And it technically is well
looking really good and completing | 3:01:20 | 3:01:25 | |
by getting his legs out in front of
him. It's impressive to see and on | 3:01:25 | 3:01:30 | |
the board, he's fixed the problem is
slightly and do you know what I | 3:01:30 | 3:01:34 | |
reckon going into the last couple we
might see a really big one because | 3:01:34 | 3:01:37 | |
his early fouls were massive, so it
will be very exciting to see where | 3:01:37 | 3:01:40 | |
he can go. Can I say very quickly,
who said it was a good idea having | 3:01:40 | 3:01:45 | |
Greg Rutherford watching this men's
final? He's jittery, he's been a | 3:01:45 | 3:01:50 | |
nightmare! They | 3:01:50 | 3:01:56 | |
nightmare! They were not jumping
very far and it was becoming a | 3:01:59 | 3:02:01 | |
problem for me! I need them to jump
far. And they did, they're | 3:02:01 | 3:02:04 | |
delivering, he's delivering all
kinds of insight for us. Thank you | 3:02:04 | 3:02:06 | |
very much, Greg.
COMMENTATOR: | 3:02:06 | 3:02:07 | |
A brilliant competition, I'm sure
Greg is enjoying it plenty. Dendy, | 3:02:07 | 3:02:13 | |
8.02 so far, only four athletes will
compete in the final round. Dendy | 3:02:13 | 3:02:17 | |
isn't amongst them as we stand. That
might change it. It's a much longer | 3:02:17 | 3:02:22 | |
jump. And he knows it. Dendy so far
his best, 8.02 in the second round. | 3:02:22 | 3:02:29 | |
That's a massive improvement. For
the reigning world indoor champion | 3:02:29 | 3:02:35 | |
from two years ago. That the leg
shoot, it's all about leg shoot. | 3:02:35 | 3:02:41 | |
Great speed across the board but the
position he gets, he puts his feet | 3:02:41 | 3:02:45 | |
out in front of him and manages to
get his centre of gravity over, | 3:02:45 | 3:02:51 | |
fantastic. Another personal best
from another athlete, 8.4 two. It's | 3:02:51 | 3:02:56 | |
starting to wake up, finally, in
this penultimate round. Lawson on | 3:02:56 | 3:03:04 | |
8.02, the US champion left wanting a
little bit here but that's better as | 3:03:04 | 3:03:09 | |
well. Well, really, it's taken four
or five jumps for the athletes to | 3:03:09 | 3:03:17 | |
find their rhythm, find their feet
and unleash some competitive | 3:03:17 | 3:03:20 | |
instinct. Lawson looks as though
he's improved. I remind you that | 3:03:20 | 3:03:26 | |
only four athletes will take an
effort in the final round. There's | 3:03:26 | 3:03:30 | |
another cut. Lawson has gone into
fourth, with 8.1 four, one jump | 3:03:30 | 3:03:38 | |
remaining. Well, what a competitive
effort we saw in round four, 8.36 | 3:03:38 | 3:03:49 | |
from Echevarria, a personal best.
The 19-year-old, oh, what has he | 3:03:49 | 3:03:53 | |
done here? Well, you mentioned
fearless earlier, Tony. That is an | 3:03:53 | 3:04:00 | |
enormous jump. This is going to be
close to taking the lead back. He's | 3:04:00 | 3:04:07 | |
a young man who doesn't respect his
elders. He's getting in there and | 3:04:07 | 3:04:11 | |
jumping with abandonment. It's
fantastic to see! What a great, | 3:04:11 | 3:04:15 | |
great competition. Plenty of room on
the board. He is safe as houses. And | 3:04:15 | 3:04:20 | |
fell back on this. I'm keen to see
that landing again. 8.46, a new | 3:04:20 | 3:04:28 | |
world lead. What an amazing
competition. It's incredible you can | 3:04:28 | 3:04:32 | |
jump a personal best, you've gone
further than you've ever been before | 3:04:32 | 3:04:35 | |
in your life, somebody jumps further
than that and then you respond again | 3:04:35 | 3:04:39 | |
and jump further still. That is
class, that's incredible competitive | 3:04:39 | 3:04:43 | |
edge. The 8.44 from Manyonga, a
Commonwealth record, African record, | 3:04:43 | 3:04:50 | |
it was a world lead but it's now in
second place here at the fifth | 3:04:50 | 3:04:54 | |
round. Well, that's enormous, but
it's another foul from Manyonga. | 3:04:54 | 3:04:59 | |
He's enjoying himself. Another big
jump. We've got 8.46, 8.42 metres, | 3:04:59 | 3:05:12 | |
it's incredible. 8.44 in there, what
an awesome, awesome competition. Not | 3:05:12 | 3:05:19 | |
since the days of Carl Lewis and
Powell have we seen that kind of | 3:05:19 | 3:05:24 | |
competitive jumping. He's jumped out
of the pit, nearly. He says he | 3:05:24 | 3:05:32 | |
doesn't put on a limit on how far he
can jump. Really enjoying this | 3:05:32 | 3:05:35 | |
competition. The final round about
to come. | 3:05:35 | 3:05:41 | |
STEVE CRAM:
A great long jump competition | 3:05:41 | 3:05:44 | |
continuing, some more news from the
400 metres. Belimpasaki has been | 3:05:44 | 3:05:49 | |
disqualified so these will be the
finalists, we think. Wimbley and | 3:05:49 | 3:05:55 | |
Okolo, the two Americans. Eilidh
Doyle and Zoey Clark from Britain. | 3:05:55 | 3:06:03 | |
After all the disqualifications,
these are the ones who are left. | 3:06:03 | 3:06:10 | |
Extraordinary, it's almost making it
a bit farcical, you think of the big | 3:06:11 | 3:06:14 | |
names who have gone, their own
fault, but we'll be back for the | 3:06:14 | 3:06:18 | |
men's 400 metres semifinals. Yeah,
Dendy, his waiting for that cone to | 3:06:18 | 3:06:25 | |
be removed before he gets the all
clear that he can jump. This is the | 3:06:25 | 3:06:29 | |
final round, only four athletes
remaining. Dendy and Lawson, both of | 3:06:29 | 3:06:34 | |
the United States in third and
fourth place, it's the young man, | 3:06:34 | 3:06:40 | |
the Cuban, Echevarria. Two
centimetres ahead of Manyonga, the | 3:06:40 | 3:06:43 | |
world outdoor champion. | 3:06:43 | 3:06:48 | |
world outdoor champion. So the cone
has been removed. Dendy, a cry for | 3:06:50 | 3:06:56 | |
support. A big PB in that fifth
round, has he got more? He's capable | 3:06:56 | 3:07:03 | |
of doing this. But whatever he does,
others can respond. So Dendy, last | 3:07:03 | 3:07:10 | |
chance to get into the lead. He
likes it a lot. It's a valid jump. I | 3:07:10 | 3:07:21 | |
think he didn't quite plan to his
foot on the board. -- he didn't | 3:07:21 | 3:07:27 | |
quite planned his foot on the board.
Just that forward lean, | 3:07:27 | 3:07:31 | |
deceleration, didn't really plant
his foot. A difficult position to | 3:07:31 | 3:07:41 | |
take off from. There is no room for
error at this level as Dendy waits | 3:07:41 | 3:07:46 | |
for these measurement. It is eight
what -- it is 8.18, no improvement, | 3:07:46 | 3:07:52 | |
in bronze as we stand but his
team-mate, Lawson, can push him down | 3:07:52 | 3:07:56 | |
the sport. Here is Lawson. Dendy at
the moment 8.42, in bronze. Jarrion | 3:07:56 | 3:08:04 | |
Lawson, the US outdoor champion,
came into this competition with the | 3:08:04 | 3:08:07 | |
second best on the world list, 8.38,
from the US trials. We know he's | 3:08:07 | 3:08:14 | |
capable. Last chance to get into the
medals. A foul. Lawson, fourth place | 3:08:14 | 3:08:22 | |
for him here. 8.14 his best and he
clears the way, Americans celebrate | 3:08:22 | 3:08:31 | |
with third and fourth. I bet they
can't believe that. 8.42, further | 3:08:31 | 3:08:36 | |
than anyone had jumped in the world
coming into this competition, in | 3:08:36 | 3:08:41 | |
third place, would you believe it.
There is your two leaders, leader | 3:08:41 | 3:08:45 | |
and second place, I should say, the
two men have exchanged leading | 3:08:45 | 3:08:51 | |
positions throughout this
competition on a number of | 3:08:51 | 3:08:52 | |
occasions. First up it is the | 3:08:52 | 3:09:02 | |
occasions. First up it is the event
leader, Juan Miguel Echevarria. I | 3:09:02 | 3:09:03 | |
wish I'd picked him now as my one to
watch because we are going to see a | 3:09:03 | 3:09:08 | |
lot of this young man. Can he go
further? I think he tried so hard, I | 3:09:08 | 3:09:17 | |
think he was behind the board there.
8.46, he's in the lead but there's | 3:09:17 | 3:09:22 | |
one more jump. He just has to sit
and wait to see if he's hanging on | 3:09:22 | 3:09:26 | |
to that gold medal. Yeah, quite a
bit between him and the board there. | 3:09:26 | 3:09:32 | |
You can't force it. It's a good
example of you can't force it and he | 3:09:32 | 3:09:36 | |
is way behind the board. You can't
force it, but I tell you what, you | 3:09:36 | 3:09:41 | |
have to respect him for giving it a
good go. He's in the lead. Can he | 3:09:41 | 3:09:46 | |
hang onto it? 19-year-old, will he
become the world champion in the | 3:09:46 | 3:09:50 | |
long jump? There's nothing | 3:09:50 | 3:09:56 | |
long jump? There's nothing more he
can do about it, he has to stand and | 3:09:59 | 3:10:01 | |
watch, as Luvo Manyonga, who has his
flag ready, a flag that has been | 3:10:01 | 3:10:04 | |
used to celebrate gold medals in
this competition on a number of | 3:10:04 | 3:10:07 | |
occasions. Five times, Ivan Dodig
Rosa has the young man Echevarria | 3:10:07 | 3:10:13 | |
done enough? He's only two
centimetres ahead of this man, Luvo | 3:10:13 | 3:10:16 | |
Manyonga. 8.44. Final round, final
jump, to change his fortune. Oh, | 3:10:16 | 3:10:27 | |
that's a big jump! It's another foul
though. Oh! Fantastic, fantastic, | 3:10:27 | 3:10:37 | |
thank you, gentlemen, for the
entertainment. What a great | 3:10:37 | 3:10:39 | |
competition. An absolutely superb
competition. The way it got better | 3:10:39 | 3:10:45 | |
and better. Wow, we've seen a
19-year-old world indoor champion | 3:10:45 | 3:10:49 | |
with a great distance. The Cubans
have got a jumper again. | 3:10:49 | 3:10:56 | |
Congratulating the young man of
Cuba, Manyonga gives his | 3:10:56 | 3:11:01 | |
congratulations as well. A potential
superstar of the future, a surprise | 3:11:01 | 3:11:05 | |
winner here. Looks to the heavens
and its gold for Cuba and Echevarria | 3:11:05 | 3:11:11 | |
in the men's long jump.
GABBY LOGAN: | 3:11:11 | 3:11:16 | |
Well, we have seen some characters
in this long jump competition and | 3:11:16 | 3:11:19 | |
we've seen real character from that
man, Echevarria. Just 19 years old, | 3:11:19 | 3:11:24 | |
previous best 8.28 outside, what a
future he has. Absolutely, the | 3:11:24 | 3:11:30 | |
Cubans have an rich history of great
long jumpers and I tell you what, at | 3:11:30 | 3:11:34 | |
19 years of age, to go out and do
that is something really special. I | 3:11:34 | 3:11:38 | |
would always say you can generally
at 20 or 30 centimetres by the time | 3:11:38 | 3:11:43 | |
you get outside. If we can do that
we might see some real hot | 3:11:43 | 3:11:47 | |
competitions coming this summer.
It's a shame there's Motorola world | 3:11:47 | 3:11:50 | |
or Olympic games outdoors this year
because it really could be exciting | 3:11:50 | 3:11:54 | |
-- there isn't another world or
Olympic games outdoor this year. | 3:11:54 | 3:11:58 | |
It's brilliant, when people get to
see how things keep changing and how | 3:11:58 | 3:12:02 | |
the battles play out during these
long jump competitions. You can | 3:12:02 | 3:12:05 | |
really get a feel for how exciting
they are. That was one of the better | 3:12:05 | 3:12:09 | |
ones we've had for quite a long
time. Absolutely and I'm very | 3:12:09 | 3:12:12 | |
passionate about the showcasing of
field events. We've done it today, | 3:12:12 | 3:12:19 | |
which is brilliant. Wow, what a
competition. You know, it was of | 3:12:19 | 3:12:23 | |
Olympic standard. It was fantastic.
So impressive to see how he | 3:12:23 | 3:12:29 | |
responded, Echevarria, to Manyonga,
who kept putting in, kept fouling at | 3:12:29 | 3:12:33 | |
first but then put in the big jumps
and Echevarria had to pull out | 3:12:33 | 3:12:36 | |
another one. Here is the winning
jump. It can be incredibly difficult | 3:12:36 | 3:12:40 | |
at times and it's something he that
shows a real champion, when you can | 3:12:40 | 3:12:44 | |
keep responding to every else around
you. You can see here he's | 3:12:44 | 3:12:47 | |
incredibly fast, he has a nice
loping stride, attacks the board, | 3:12:47 | 3:12:52 | |
beautiful upright position. If you
can stop the over rotation you can | 3:12:52 | 3:12:56 | |
really extend through into the
bigger distances and it's something | 3:12:56 | 3:13:00 | |
he's doing there, which as I say, in
the summer... I was talking about | 3:13:00 | 3:13:05 | |
Jerry and today and for whatever
reason he didn't get it right. He | 3:13:05 | 3:13:09 | |
jumped 8.38 at the Nationals or the
US not that long ago but it wasn't | 3:13:09 | 3:13:15 | |
happening today. I didn't expect to
Dendy today, to come out with that | 3:13:15 | 3:13:18 | |
real big amazing jump is a fantastic
way to go out there and do it. We | 3:13:18 | 3:13:23 | |
saw that with Jeff Henderson at the
Olympic Games in 2016, much to my | 3:13:23 | 3:13:27 | |
dismay, to suddenly catch one and it
completely changes the dynamic of | 3:13:27 | 3:13:31 | |
the field. It was a wonderful,
wonderful competition to watch. I | 3:13:31 | 3:13:35 | |
was on the edge of my seat, it was
fantastic. Greenberg and we've been | 3:13:35 | 3:13:40 | |
seeing some great long jump
competitions over the last couple of | 3:13:40 | 3:13:43 | |
years, Greg, and we are seeing
fantastic young athletes like | 3:13:43 | 3:13:48 | |
Echevarria coming up, Dendy, we've
been waiting for him to explode and | 3:13:48 | 3:13:52 | |
Lawson, last year he had a great
competition. Is the long jump | 3:13:52 | 3:13:56 | |
getting the competition -- is the
long jump competition getting the | 3:13:56 | 3:14:02 | |
attention it should? Are the people
in the stands experiencing the long | 3:14:02 | 3:14:05 | |
jump and the back and forth the way
we get to see it? To see how | 3:14:05 | 3:14:11 | |
exciting it really is. In the
stadium is the best place to be | 3:14:11 | 3:14:14 | |
viewing it and at home, sadly, we've
spent many years of not seeing how | 3:14:14 | 3:14:19 | |
it's unfolding. You go to Diamond
League events and they are wrapped | 3:14:19 | 3:14:22 | |
up in four jumps, these are the
winners, these are the positions. To | 3:14:22 | 3:14:26 | |
excite people we need to show
exactly how the sport unfolds and | 3:14:26 | 3:14:30 | |
exactly how the events go, because
as we said, this was an incredible | 3:14:30 | 3:14:34 | |
competition, a great one for people
to see, and for people to say I want | 3:14:34 | 3:14:42 | |
to be involved in the jumps because
they are brilliant. Steve Backley | 3:14:42 | 3:14:44 | |
can round it all up for us. What a
thrilling competition, there is the | 3:14:44 | 3:14:47 | |
final result, an historic one, Dendy
the Proms, Manyonga, an African | 3:14:47 | 3:14:52 | |
record, a Commonwealth record, but
the Cuban, 8.44, seventh best ever. | 3:14:52 | 3:15:00 | |
It was in UK allcomers' record, he
beat Mike Powell's previous best | 3:15:00 | 3:15:05 | |
which has stood for 25 years which
puts into context. A brilliant | 3:15:05 | 3:15:12 | |
performance from a 19-year-old,
wonderful entertainment. The best | 3:15:12 | 3:15:15 | |
event of the championships so far,
the men's long jump. The men's 400 | 3:15:15 | 3:15:22 | |
metres has been decimated by those
who have been disqualified. This is | 3:15:22 | 3:15:25 | |
the first of three semifinals, those
who are left. | 3:15:25 | 3:15:35 | |
who are left. Javon Francis, Aldrich
Bailey Junior of the United States | 3:15:35 | 3:15:37 | |
in lane six. You think of those who
we have lost, disqualified big | 3:15:37 | 3:15:40 | |
names, Brenes, Taplin, Haroun.
Steven Gayle and Alonzo Russell, all | 3:15:40 | 3:15:51 | |
disqualified in the first round,
4-lane infringements. We've seen | 3:15:51 | 3:15:55 | |
Lias Bronner and MacPherson
disqualified in the women's | 3:15:55 | 3:16:02 | |
semifinals -- Lea Sprunger. Everyone
will be aware that a toe on the line | 3:16:02 | 3:16:07 | |
and you are disqualified. The
unforgiving rule 1:63.63. | 3:16:07 | 3:16:15 | |
The poll finished very | 3:16:19 | 3:16:20 | |
The poll finished very strongly in
the first round. There's Aldrich | 3:16:20 | 3:16:23 | |
Bailey jointly, second in the US
championships behind Michael Cherry. | 3:16:23 | 3:16:27 | |
Michael Cherry goes in the second
semifinal. The Polish champion, | 3:16:27 | 3:16:33 | |
Jacob Gish | 3:16:33 | 3:16:35 | |
as it is in love athletics
Championships these days, a strong | 3:16:37 | 3:16:43 | |
Polish team. Jovan Francis have been
part of the Jamaican squad for a | 3:16:43 | 3:16:47 | |
while now. Took silver in Rio at the
Olympic Games. Such a talented | 3:16:47 | 3:16:51 | |
youngster, as was this man. Silver
behind Karami James in London at the | 3:16:51 | 3:16:57 | |
Olympic Games. As a 19-year-old, we
got was 18, but 19. Patrik Sorm of | 3:16:57 | 3:17:05 | |
the Czech Republic. One of the
fastest losers who are advanced | 3:17:05 | 3:17:09 | |
because of disqualifications. Lucas
Bua, Spanish indoor champion. There | 3:17:09 | 3:17:18 | |
is a theory that you should just jog
round very slowly, stepping away | 3:17:18 | 3:17:21 | |
from the lines and taking chances.
Just two go through automatically | 3:17:21 | 3:17:28 | |
straight to tomorrow's final. A lot
of athletes have not been coping | 3:17:28 | 3:17:35 | |
with the lanes indoors here. | 3:17:35 | 3:17:39 | |
The first of three semifinals in the
men's 400 metres. Bua, Patrik Sorm, | 3:17:45 | 3:17:52 | |
Lech Walesa and toss, Jovan Francis,
Jacob Katrina, Aldrich Bailey | 3:17:52 | 3:17:56 | |
junior. | 3:17:56 | 3:18:00 | |
A good start by Jovan Francis of
Jamaica. | 3:18:00 | 3:18:06 | |
Francis of Jamaica looking to get
himself in a good position. The tiny | 3:18:12 | 3:18:16 | |
figure of Miguel Santos. The barging
and battering is there and sometimes | 3:18:16 | 3:18:22 | |
not giving an inch to the big man
from Poland. These three battling | 3:18:22 | 3:18:31 | |
for the two positions. Look Santos
in a position to try to challenge. | 3:18:31 | 3:18:39 | |
Bailey just starting to tie it up
will stop Santos comes through to | 3:18:39 | 3:18:43 | |
take it and Santos and Bailey take
perverse two places. The only two | 3:18:43 | 3:18:48 | |
places and they will go through to
the final. Very, very good race. | 3:18:48 | 3:18:52 | |
Santos judged it well. What a talent
he was as a youngster, and he'll | 3:18:52 | 3:18:56 | |
have his chance here in the final
tomorrow because he timed it well | 3:18:56 | 3:18:59 | |
and came through to take it on the
line from Aldrich Bailey but a very | 3:18:59 | 3:19:02 | |
good race. Yeah, a lot happened
there at the break which meant that | 3:19:02 | 3:19:13 | |
Jacob has been really got on terms.
Santos was patient and as strong as | 3:19:13 | 3:19:18 | |
we've seen from him from a good
little while. You're making the | 3:19:18 | 3:19:21 | |
point that the quality...
LAUGHTER | 3:19:21 | 3:19:27 | |
Santos is saying, what are you
doing? With real! By winning you get | 3:19:27 | 3:19:32 | |
a better lane draw in the final.
We've had this event is completely | 3:19:32 | 3:19:39 | |
decimated by disqualifications.
We'll wait to see if any happen in | 3:19:39 | 3:19:41 | |
the semifinals. At least Luguelin
Santos we know is at his best. A | 3:19:41 | 3:19:47 | |
great 400-metre runner. It'll be
nice to see the break at 200 metres. | 3:19:47 | 3:19:54 | |
That's when so much happens in the
400 metres. Bailey was dying on his | 3:19:54 | 3:19:58 | |
legs here. Santos takes the victory
and his younger brother goes in one | 3:19:58 | 3:20:06 | |
of the next semifinals, Juander
Santos. Let's see if he can make it | 3:20:06 | 3:20:10 | |
through to the final, as well.
Bailey safely through, to bring to | 3:20:10 | 3:20:14 | |
the ground. Unofficial results. We
shall wait and see what it looks | 3:20:14 | 3:20:19 | |
like Miguel and Santos and Aldrich
Bailey are through to the final. | 3:20:19 | 3:20:25 | |
like Miguel and Santos and Aldrich
Bailey are through to the final. | 3:20:25 | 3:20:26 | |
STUDIO: With the 400 metres, we
really do have to say unofficial | 3:20:26 | 3:20:29 | |
results because it might only be a
matter of seconds before we find out | 3:20:29 | 3:20:33 | |
who's disqualified. You were a bit
worried about Bailey. Yes, because | 3:20:33 | 3:20:39 | |
Bailey came off one of the corners
and his foot came across the cone | 3:20:39 | 3:20:42 | |
and I don't know why you would do
that, given all of the | 3:20:42 | 3:20:47 | |
qualifications and macro
disqualifications we've seen. We may | 3:20:47 | 3:20:50 | |
see something coming out from him
with a DQ by his name. The lights | 3:20:50 | 3:20:54 | |
are going down and the rostrum has
been set up on the stage tonight. | 3:20:54 | 3:20:59 | |
Last night it was on the infield but
it's just to our right in the studio | 3:20:59 | 3:21:03 | |
here and it is of course for the
medal ceremony for the women's | 3:21:03 | 3:21:07 | |
pentathlon. Just looking over there,
I'm seeing Katarina Johnson-Thompson | 3:21:07 | 3:21:12 | |
standing behind the gold medal
rostrum. This really is a moment, | 3:21:12 | 3:21:16 | |
and hopefully will be a pivotal
moment, a seminal moment, in her | 3:21:16 | 3:21:20 | |
career. Representing Cuba, Yang
Ellis Rodriguez. | 3:21:20 | 3:21:27 | |
career. Representing Cuba, Yang
Ellis Rodriguez. Rodriguez taking | 3:21:27 | 3:21:28 | |
the bronze medal, the Cuban. Just
underperformed a little in the long | 3:21:28 | 3:21:33 | |
jump. Lost a bit of ground on the
woman who is about to collect the | 3:21:33 | 3:21:36 | |
silver medal. A bronze medal well
earned. No medals changing positions | 3:21:36 | 3:21:44 | |
in the 800 metres. These three went
in these positions. If only that the | 3:21:44 | 3:21:50 | |
with a good long jump. Just worried.
-- just worried Katarina | 3:21:50 | 3:22:01 | |
Johnson-Thompson for a moment. Dadic
able to make up the time in the 800. | 3:22:01 | 3:22:06 | |
That was quite an achievement. This
woman is about to be cheered to the | 3:22:06 | 3:22:13 | |
rafters. Representing Great Britain
and Northern Ireland, Katarina | 3:22:13 | 3:22:16 | |
Johnson-Thompson.
CHEERING | 3:22:16 | 3:22:21 | |
To the top of the podium. Doesn't
happen too often in a career through | 3:22:22 | 3:22:27 | |
injury. She would admit
underachievement on the biggest | 3:22:27 | 3:22:30 | |
stage but here at the world indoor
she takes gold. | 3:22:30 | 3:22:40 | |
she takes gold. Ladies and
gentlemen, the national anthem of | 3:22:40 | 3:22:41 | |
Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 3:22:41 | 3:22:49 | |
# God save our gracious Queen | 3:22:49 | 3:22:50 | |
# Long live our noble Queen | 3:22:50 | 3:22:55 | |
# God save the Queen | 3:22:55 | 3:23:00 | |
# Send her victorious | 3:23:00 | 3:23:04 | |
# Happy and glorious | 3:23:04 | 3:23:10 | |
# Long to reign over us | 3:23:10 | 3:23:15 | |
# God save the Queen. # | 3:23:15 | 3:23:23 | |
APPLAUSE | 3:23:23 | 3:23:23 | |
APPLAUSE
Nothing now but a smile on the face | 3:23:23 | 3:23:30 | |
of Katarina Johnson-Thompson. They
have now been 14 winners of this | 3:23:30 | 3:23:34 | |
event going back to 1993, 14
different winners. Katarina | 3:23:34 | 3:23:40 | |
Johnson-Thompson is the 14th. Bronze
for Rodriguez, silver for Ivona | 3:23:40 | 3:23:45 | |
Dadic and gold for Katarina
Johnson-Thompson. | 3:23:45 | 3:23:46 | |
Dadic and gold for Katarina
Johnson-Thompson. | 3:23:46 | 3:23:51 | |
STUDIO: One of those winners in the
past of course was Jessica Ennis, | 3:23:51 | 3:23:56 | |
back in 2010 in Doha. We'll know
what happened to her. This can be a | 3:23:56 | 3:24:01 | |
moment for Johnson-Thompson going
forwards into those big global | 3:24:01 | 3:24:04 | |
competitions where she knows she can
quit together, she knows she can put | 3:24:04 | 3:24:08 | |
the performance in. She can have my
disappointment is along the way but | 3:24:08 | 3:24:11 | |
it's about how you carry on
throughout the day of this concept | 3:24:11 | 3:24:16 | |
did, -- through the day of this
competition. Hopefully a turning | 3:24:16 | 3:24:20 | |
point in | 3:24:20 | 3:24:21 | |
competition. Hopefully a turning
point in her emotions about all the | 3:24:21 | 3:24:22 | |
things that have gone before, that
this is truly a moment to savour. We | 3:24:22 | 3:24:26 | |
have had those roller-coaster
moments but she has performed really | 3:24:26 | 3:24:30 | |
well and she's earned that medal.
She is grafted, worked hard, just | 3:24:30 | 3:24:37 | |
reward. She's done it now and that's
the relief. Relief is the big | 3:24:37 | 3:24:44 | |
overriding sensation you have when
you windage and beaches. It's all | 3:24:44 | 3:24:50 | |
these maybes and ifs and things that
can go wrong. By listening that | 3:24:50 | 3:24:53 | |
goals right and you can have a kick
on from that moment and go on to win | 3:24:53 | 3:24:59 | |
more. 2010, we saw the start of
Jessica Ennis coming through and | 3:24:59 | 3:25:02 | |
doing the most incredible things she
did and we all believe and I think | 3:25:02 | 3:25:06 | |
we all know Kat can do that. She's
questioned herself the last couple | 3:25:06 | 3:25:11 | |
of years with injuries and the
changes in training environment. She | 3:25:11 | 3:25:15 | |
questioned whether she had what it
takes to get the top position. Those | 3:25:15 | 3:25:20 | |
questions, when you can find the
answer, they are a big relief. And | 3:25:20 | 3:25:25 | |
they are a weight off your mind as
Gregg said. Hopefully the buoyancy | 3:25:25 | 3:25:28 | |
that will take her into the next
part of her preparation. The key is | 3:25:28 | 3:25:33 | |
it becomes down to something
practical at the end of the day. | 3:25:33 | 3:25:38 | |
That is has she learned her lesson
that allowed her to have the spring | 3:25:38 | 3:25:42 | |
the group performs as she had today?
Was it but it all just happened | 3:25:42 | 3:25:46 | |
right today? Just like it happened
wrong in the past. Or was it, this | 3:25:46 | 3:25:49 | |
is what I did wrong in the past,
this was my approach and what didn't | 3:25:49 | 3:25:53 | |
work. This is what I did today and
what does work for me. In order to | 3:25:53 | 3:25:57 | |
duplicate this type of performance,
you have to duplicate the same sort | 3:25:57 | 3:26:00 | |
of setup, the same sort of
preparation, mindset. You have to be | 3:26:00 | 3:26:05 | |
able to do that, so while she was
certainly celebrate this, she can | 3:26:05 | 3:26:11 | |
reflect on, what did I do right?
Relive this moment from a practical | 3:26:11 | 3:26:14 | |
standpoint so she can apply this at
the Commonwealth Games. Another | 3:26:14 | 3:26:18 | |
success like this. And she will face
Dadic again if they are both fit in | 3:26:18 | 3:26:28 | |
Berlin in the European Championship
in August. Another chance to say, | 3:26:28 | 3:26:30 | |
yes, you might think you might be
the up-and-coming one but I'm going | 3:26:30 | 3:26:36 | |
to be sure again. It's a chance to
put herself against them. She's been | 3:26:36 | 3:26:45 | |
competing against these ladies for a
while now but it's really about | 3:26:45 | 3:26:47 | |
turning inwards and focusing on,
what did I do right? What was that | 3:26:47 | 3:26:52 | |
emotion, how did I keep it together?
She's proved she's able to do that. | 3:26:52 | 3:26:56 | |
We are heading out for the next of
these 400 metre semifinals. Lee | 3:26:56 | 3:27:02 | |
Thompson of Sheffield is out there
in the semifinal and I think he was | 3:27:02 | 3:27:08 | |
a product of a benefit of one of the
disqualifications this morning, | 3:27:08 | 3:27:13 | |
Steve grams. You will take this
perhaps as a bonus but want to put | 3:27:13 | 3:27:18 | |
himself right back there in the mix.
COMMENTATOR: He did | 3:27:18 | 3:27:23 | |
himself right back there in the mix.
COMMENTATOR: He did benefit but he | 3:27:23 | 3:27:24 | |
still ran well. This is his best
ever Championships, just 20 years of | 3:27:24 | 3:27:28 | |
age, from Sheffield. He's just seen
one Thomson on the rostrum, so who | 3:27:28 | 3:27:34 | |
knows what future he has? He's just
starting his career. Huge | 3:27:34 | 3:27:40 | |
opportunity for also of athletes
here with so many disqualifications. | 3:27:40 | 3:27:44 | |
I think there's been at least ten
anyway. We've missed the two guys on | 3:27:44 | 3:27:49 | |
the outside | 3:27:49 | 3:27:54 | |
the outside which either two most
impressive. They are lanes five and | 3:27:54 | 3:27:57 | |
six. Thomson in lane three will
obviously be doing his best to try | 3:27:57 | 3:28:03 | |
to get on terms with them. See what
happens and then as we've seen, you | 3:28:03 | 3:28:09 | |
never know. | 3:28:09 | 3:28:14 | |
never know. 46.23, superb
performance in the British | 3:28:14 | 3:28:17 | |
Championships to announce his
arrival into the British team. | 3:28:17 | 3:28:21 | |
I know what you are all thinking,
you're watching the feet, anxious? | 3:28:27 | 3:28:31 | |
I'm sure the athletes must and I'm
sure they are beginning to realise | 3:28:31 | 3:28:36 | |
what's going on. Thomson just
lacking a bit of pace through this | 3:28:36 | 3:28:40 | |
first 200 metres but he hasn't got
to panic. Santos trying to get in | 3:28:40 | 3:28:45 | |
there. Thomson will just have to
pick some of these off here. 21.3 | 3:28:45 | 3:28:54 | |
through the first 200 metres,
reasonably quick. The two best | 3:28:54 | 3:28:57 | |
athletes here, Hooley source and
Cherry. Oscar whose loss has been | 3:28:57 | 3:29:10 | |
very impressive, challenged by
Cherry. Those two are expected to | 3:29:10 | 3:29:15 | |
win. Thomson has to settle for
sixth. These two well was going to | 3:29:15 | 3:29:18 | |
be the best. He's impressing me. I
wasn't... To be fair, we've lost so | 3:29:18 | 3:29:24 | |
many of the big names that now he's
looking like a real contender for | 3:29:24 | 3:29:28 | |
the gold medal. That was a quick
semi-and barring any surprises, we | 3:29:28 | 3:29:37 | |
will expect Husillos and Cherry to
be contenders for the medals. Lee | 3:29:37 | 3:29:41 | |
Thompson tried very hard and when
you have to run wide, when you don't | 3:29:41 | 3:29:44 | |
get involved in that first 200
metres, it's a long journey around | 3:29:44 | 3:29:48 | |
the outside. But he's acquitted
himself pretty well, particularly in | 3:29:48 | 3:29:51 | |
Leeds, I thought. It'd be a bit
tough to come back and emulate that | 3:29:51 | 3:29:55 | |
in the semi-. We saw, as you are
mentioning, the reason these two are | 3:29:55 | 3:29:58 | |
a long way clear, Husillos and
Cherry is we are missing athlete who | 3:29:58 | 3:30:03 | |
perhaps would have been lifting the
quality of this semifinal otherwise | 3:30:03 | 3:30:07 | |
worried not for the
disqualifications. Husillos and | 3:30:07 | 3:30:13 | |
Cherry a long way clear. Good time
by Husillos, he looking very | 3:30:13 | 3:30:18 | |
impressive. Some come into the
meetings in Championships and find | 3:30:18 | 3:30:23 | |
good form at the championships.
Husillos has been strongest season | 3:30:23 | 3:30:26 | |
and seems to be peaking. Quick time,
45.6 nine. Here's a look back at the | 3:30:26 | 3:30:38 | |
third round of the women's shot put
final. | 3:30:38 | 3:30:47 | |
final. 18.98 metres. A put the owned
19 metres. Great effort from her. | 3:30:47 | 3:30:57 | |
She has thrown over 19 metres this
year. Fourth in the World | 3:30:57 | 3:31:01 | |
Championship last year. | 3:31:01 | 3:31:06 | |
Maybe put a bit of spice into the
weight room to get the power needed | 3:31:06 | 3:31:11 | |
and the desire to get onto the
rostrum. A new indoor national | 3:31:11 | 3:31:16 | |
record for Thomas-Dodd. Anita
Marton, deprived of gold two years | 3:31:16 | 3:31:24 | |
ago by Michelle Carter in the very
last putt of the competition, this | 3:31:24 | 3:31:29 | |
was her response to that throw in
the third round. A beautiful example | 3:31:29 | 3:31:32 | |
of rotating shot put. That putt
winged out as 19.48 metres, good | 3:31:32 | 3:31:44 | |
parlance, drives upwards, hard,
catches on the reverse, nicely | 3:31:44 | 3:31:47 | |
timed. -- good balance. That gets
you a putt over the 19-metre mark, | 3:31:47 | 3:31:56 | |
Marton, a brilliant competitor,
deprived two years ago, takes the | 3:31:56 | 3:32:00 | |
lead with a world leader at the
halfway stage. Here is a look back | 3:32:00 | 3:32:06 | |
at what happened in the heptathlon
high jump. The best clearance so | 3:32:06 | 3:32:13 | |
far, Warners had a solid first day,
a clearance at two point 02, in | 3:32:13 | 3:32:19 | |
second place overall -- 2.02 metres.
There is a PB there, adding two | 3:32:19 | 3:32:27 | |
centimetres to his previous lifetime
best. He is probably the man who is | 3:32:27 | 3:32:32 | |
giving this man most to think about,
went clear at the second time of | 3:32:32 | 3:32:39 | |
asking. Many are putting up a solid
performance, but he's going to need | 3:32:39 | 3:32:46 | |
all of it to take the gold -- Kevin
Mayer. | 3:32:46 | 3:32:55 | |
Mayer. Kai Kazmirek, his third
attempt at 2.05. Gave it a good old | 3:32:55 | 3:33:00 | |
rattle. But a successful jump, all
about points. 60-metre hurdles, pole | 3:33:00 | 3:33:09 | |
vault and 1000 metres tomorrow. But
the best jump was this man, Maicel | 3:33:09 | 3:33:14 | |
Uibo of Estonia, 2.17, that's how to
do it. Great history and events, | 3:33:14 | 3:33:21 | |
Vergini all the most -- they had a
famous Estonian multi-event and | 3:33:21 | 3:33:30 | |
Maicel Uibo goes into the medals.
The heptathlon summary after the | 3:33:30 | 3:33:35 | |
four events of Day one and Kevin
Mayer, as expected, the Frenchman, | 3:33:35 | 3:33:40 | |
out in front by what is it, 45
points or so, I had of Damian Warner | 3:33:40 | 3:33:47 | |
and Maicel Uibo has rocketed up the
leaderboard into third place. Lining | 3:33:47 | 3:33:52 | |
up for the third and last of the
semifinals of the men's 400 metres | 3:33:52 | 3:33:56 | |
and this is how they line up. | 3:33:56 | 3:34:03 | |
and this is how they line up. The
athletes on the outside of the | 3:34:03 | 3:34:05 | |
favoured athletes. -- the athletes
on the outside are the favoured | 3:34:05 | 3:34:12 | |
athletes. Maslak going in lane four,
admitted he ran a bad race in the | 3:34:12 | 3:34:21 | |
first round but there are questions,
he doesn't seem to have quite the | 3:34:21 | 3:34:24 | |
same form he has had in the past,
winning two Will two world indoor | 3:34:24 | 3:34:28 | |
titles, he is superb indoors but he
will have to go out more quickly | 3:34:28 | 3:34:36 | |
here in this semifinal. He will know
that a lot of his potential rivals | 3:34:36 | 3:34:40 | |
to take his title away have gone. | 3:34:40 | 3:34:48 | |
to take his title away have gone. So
Maslak will have a great chance. | 3:34:48 | 3:34:50 | |
He's still got to make it through
here, because only two go through. | 3:34:50 | 3:34:55 | |
Lendore, bronze at the last world
indoors, had the quickest first lap | 3:34:55 | 3:35:01 | |
this morning going through 221.62.
Janezic, impressive, behind Fred | 3:35:01 | 3:35:16 | |
Kerley last weekend. Maslak I'm sure
we'll go off quickly. He left too | 3:35:16 | 3:35:20 | |
much to do in the qualifying this
morning, he scraped through. You | 3:35:20 | 3:35:25 | |
Cywka ran from Kuwait goes in lane
three -- Kyran. | 3:35:25 | 3:35:37 | |
three -- Kyran. He won a world
junior gold for the USA in 2012, now | 3:35:37 | 3:35:41 | |
runs for Nigeria. Had to find some
additional fastest losers this | 3:35:41 | 3:35:47 | |
morning and Litvin of Kazakhstan was
one of those. He finished very | 3:35:47 | 3:35:51 | |
quickly, the 22-year-old. | 3:35:51 | 3:35:57 | |
quickly, the 22-year-old. Can Maslak
made it through to another final and | 3:35:58 | 3:36:00 | |
take his chances there? I gain, far
from guaranteed. Doesn't seem to be | 3:36:00 | 3:36:08 | |
the imperious Maslak of recent years
and only two going through | 3:36:08 | 3:36:11 | |
automatically. To tomorrow's final. | 3:36:11 | 3:36:18 | |
Lendore, the last of the semifinals
in the men's 400 metres. Away they | 3:36:23 | 3:36:30 | |
go and Maslak seems to be firing out
of the blocks and already moving up | 3:36:30 | 3:36:35 | |
alongside our the Slovenia. Lendore,
so quick through the first 200 | 3:36:35 | 3:36:42 | |
metres this morning, will try to
break in the lead but Maslak has | 3:36:42 | 3:36:45 | |
come roaring out of the blocks and
over the first 200 metres. He will | 3:36:45 | 3:36:48 | |
look to control it and hang on.
Lendore coming across, he wants the | 3:36:48 | 3:36:53 | |
lead and these three a country mile
clear of the rest. Its 342-macro | 3:36:53 | 3:36:58 | |
places only in the final. Lendore,
Maslak and Janezic, can he overhaul | 3:36:58 | 3:37:07 | |
the defending champion? Maslak
looking strong at the moment. Might | 3:37:07 | 3:37:10 | |
Lendore be the one to suffer and
struggled on the straight? Maslak | 3:37:10 | 3:37:13 | |
comes through, Janezic can't quite
get there, I think Lendore hung on | 3:37:13 | 3:37:19 | |
but he really was just holding on as
Janezic came charging through. I | 3:37:19 | 3:37:25 | |
think he had just a bit too much to
do. Maslak learned from the first | 3:37:25 | 3:37:30 | |
round, he knew he had run badly
tactically in the first round and he | 3:37:30 | 3:37:34 | |
knew he had to get out more quickly.
Lendore loves to go out strongly | 3:37:34 | 3:37:38 | |
over the first 200, but this was a
cracking finish. Yeah, just watch | 3:37:38 | 3:37:43 | |
this, Lendore thinking he's there,
Maslak, much better from him, gave | 3:37:43 | 3:37:48 | |
up the lead at 200 metres, wasn't
super fast and look at the tall | 3:37:48 | 3:37:52 | |
Slovenian finishing so fast.
Maslak's arm is out because he wants | 3:37:52 | 3:37:55 | |
to get his chest ahead and there's
no one with a bigger chest than | 3:37:55 | 3:38:00 | |
Janezic. He can't quite get there,
Lendore just hanging on by three or | 3:38:00 | 3:38:05 | |
four hundreds, the result coming
through. A good race. As you were | 3:38:05 | 3:38:13 | |
mentioning, Steve, it's about Maslak
looking for that when which he got, | 3:38:13 | 3:38:17 | |
because you got a better lane in the
final tomorrow. Maslak, and as | 3:38:17 | 3:38:22 | |
mentioned, so many big names are out
already so Maslak's chance of | 3:38:22 | 3:38:25 | |
winning three world indoor titles,
he's got a chance, he'll be in the | 3:38:25 | 3:38:29 | |
final and that was a better run from
him. Just as we saw at the climax of | 3:38:29 | 3:38:37 | |
the men's long jump final the
women's shot put will be decided by | 3:38:37 | 3:38:41 | |
the top four performers so far in
the first five efforts, taking their | 3:38:41 | 3:38:45 | |
final three. Only four athletes.
Yang Gao, of China, best in the | 3:38:45 | 3:38:58 | |
second of 18 point 77, twice fifth
that the World Championships. She is | 3:38:58 | 3:39:05 | |
guaranteed force, can she improve
it? -- she's guaranteed fourth | 3:39:05 | 3:39:10 | |
place. It's not going to improve,
it's about 18.5 metres. So Yang Gao, | 3:39:10 | 3:39:20 | |
Lilia, strikes hard. -- she is
linear will stop shy of 19 metres. A | 3:39:20 | 3:39:30 | |
team-mate, Gong, has gone beyond
that. So Yang Gao settles for fourth | 3:39:30 | 3:39:38 | |
place and steps aside, clears the
stage for her team-mate. So Gong Li | 3:39:38 | 3:39:49 | |
Jau, 29-year-old champion last year
in third place here. A big scream | 3:39:49 | 3:39:59 | |
and it's a big effort as well.
Possibly her best so far. I don't | 3:39:59 | 3:40:03 | |
think it's enough. Because Danniel
Thomas. , 19.2 to four silver and | 3:40:03 | 3:40:12 | |
Anita Marton of Hungary, I don't
think she's improved her position. A | 3:40:12 | 3:40:16 | |
good competitive effort though. It
is her best, 19.08, a season's best, | 3:40:16 | 3:40:23 | |
but has to put up with a silver,
sorry, bronze medal, and make way | 3:40:23 | 3:40:29 | |
for the silver-medallist,
Thomas-Dodd, who did take the lead | 3:40:29 | 3:40:33 | |
at the halfway stage only to have it
taken back by the Hungarian. Can | 3:40:33 | 3:40:40 | |
Thomas-Dodd do to Marton what
Michelle Carter did two years ago? | 3:40:40 | 3:40:44 | |
She needs to throw in excess of
19.48. No. Bang on 19 metres. It | 3:40:44 | 3:40:53 | |
wasn't meant to be. 19.2 to in round
three, that's no improvement. A | 3:40:53 | 3:41:02 | |
great example, just leaning
backwards, leaning away from that, | 3:41:02 | 3:41:05 | |
and lost some power. Of course, if
she'd chased it out she wouldn't | 3:41:05 | 3:41:11 | |
have saved it and she would have
fouled over the front and it | 3:41:11 | 3:41:14 | |
wouldn't be measured. A national
record and the silver medal for | 3:41:14 | 3:41:17 | |
Danniel Thomas. , which makes Anita
Marton, I met her and she said she's | 3:41:17 | 3:41:26 | |
been under the weather, had a cold
for a few days. You would not know | 3:41:26 | 3:41:31 | |
it. A massive effort, 19.48 metres,
silver two years ago, guaranteed the | 3:41:31 | 3:41:38 | |
goal. The shot put equivalent of a
lap of honour, this. -- guaranteed | 3:41:38 | 3:41:43 | |
the gold. Maybe she will extend her
lead. Another big effort. A great | 3:41:43 | 3:41:51 | |
demonstration of competent shop
putting. | 3:41:51 | 3:41:57 | |
putting. 19.48, her best so far. Has
she improved it? She is celebrating. | 3:41:58 | 3:42:06 | |
Its 19.62! A wonderful final effort
from Marton. Hungary take their | 3:42:06 | 3:42:12 | |
first-ever gold medal at the world
indoor Championships and its Anita | 3:42:12 | 3:42:16 | |
Marton with a world leading 19.62.
Wonderful scenes in the celebrations | 3:42:16 | 3:42:24 | |
from Marton.
GABBY LOGAN: | 3:42:24 | 3:42:33 | |
Well done to Anita Marton, in a few
moments' time we'll see the medal | 3:42:33 | 3:42:37 | |
ceremony for the men's long jump,
which was a wonderful competition a | 3:42:37 | 3:42:41 | |
little bit earlier this evening.
They have to walk just behind our | 3:42:41 | 3:42:45 | |
studio, the men, to get up to the
stage, which is to side and Luvo | 3:42:45 | 3:42:50 | |
Manyonga, when he went past, gave a
lovely big wave, didn't he, guys? A | 3:42:50 | 3:42:58 | |
big smile, big beaming smile.
Obviously he was pushed into silver | 3:42:58 | 3:43:00 | |
place by a wonderful effort from the
young Cuban, but it really was an | 3:43:00 | 3:43:04 | |
entertaining, | 3:43:04 | 3:43:05 | |
young Cuban, but it really was an
entertaining, a spectacle worthy of | 3:43:05 | 3:43:06 | |
this stage. Absolutely and again we
sort of looked at Luvo Manyonga and | 3:43:06 | 3:43:11 | |
looks at Lawson at the start and
said these are the two who will | 3:43:11 | 3:43:14 | |
probably battle out, completely
forget to link -- forgetting the | 3:43:14 | 3:43:17 | |
young Cuban who gave the performance
of his life. To PB like that at 19, | 3:43:17 | 3:43:22 | |
what a wonderful way to do it and
really exciting to watch. It was the | 3:43:22 | 3:43:27 | |
perfect competition, wasn't it, the
lead going backwards and forwards. | 3:43:27 | 3:43:31 | |
But in the end that very young man,
19 years old, very little experience | 3:43:31 | 3:43:36 | |
on the international stage, showed
his composure and incredible | 3:43:36 | 3:43:40 | |
character, Steve Backley. Yeah, it
was a great competition. | 3:43:40 | 3:43:49 | |
was a great competition. The IWS --
the IAAF world President... What a | 3:43:52 | 3:43:57 | |
pleasure to hand out a medal to a
wonderful young Cuban long jump, | 3:43:57 | 3:44:06 | |
pleasure to hand out a medal to a
wonderful young Cuban long jump,, | 3:44:06 | 3:44:07 | |
first Dendy who really celebrated
the bronze medal ahead of his | 3:44:07 | 3:44:11 | |
team-mate, Lawson. 8.42, you
wouldn't have believed that was only | 3:44:11 | 3:44:16 | |
enough for a bronze medal. Very,
very high-class. -- very, very | 3:44:16 | 3:44:26 | |
high-class competition. This man,
gold outdoors in London last summer | 3:44:26 | 3:44:31 | |
but here in Birmingham, he jumped
further, 8.44 metres, but only | 3:44:31 | 3:44:38 | |
enough for silver. But he knows he
performed. | 3:44:38 | 3:44:50 | |
performed. Gold-medallist and IAAF
world indoor champion representing | 3:44:50 | 3:44:53 | |
Cuba, Juan Miguel Echevarria will
stop well, from one Cuban legend to | 3:44:53 | 3:45:03 | |
another, well, one for the future
may be, he is world indoor champion | 3:45:03 | 3:45:08 | |
at 19. It wasn't only a massive
jump, it was the way he did it in | 3:45:08 | 3:45:17 | |
responding to a true champion in
Manyonga. And we will hear a lot -- | 3:45:17 | 3:45:22 | |
a name we will hear a lot of and the
Cuban national anthem. | 3:45:22 | 3:45:27 | |
CUBAN
NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS | 3:45:32 | 3:45:42 | |
APPLAUSE
CHEERING | 3:46:33 | 3:46:41 | |
Remember that name, | 3:46:41 | 3:46:49 | |
CHEERING
Remember that name, Echevarria. | 3:46:49 | 3:46:50 | |
Brilliant performers and that's
going to be a tough one to beat in | 3:46:50 | 3:46:52 | |
terms of the performers of the
championships early stages to be | 3:46:52 | 3:46:56 | |
calling that. That's going to take
some beating. A world lead. | 3:46:56 | 3:46:59 | |
Brilliant performers for the young
man and a gold for Cuba. | 3:46:59 | 3:47:10 | |
STUDIO: It certainly was. It's one
of the competition so far in | 3:47:13 | 3:47:17 | |
delivering a fantastic finale,
performances you'd expect of this | 3:47:17 | 3:47:23 | |
standard of competition. The crowd
was treated to something special | 3:47:23 | 3:47:27 | |
tonight yeah, they absolutely wear.
I said it earlier, what nominal | 3:47:27 | 3:47:30 | |
jumping. Befitting for this world
stage. I don't know about you, Greg, | 3:47:30 | 3:47:37 | |
but South Africa at the moment have
a really healthy crop of South | 3:47:37 | 3:47:41 | |
African jumpers at the moment. It's
interesting how they've emerged as a | 3:47:41 | 3:47:45 | |
jumping force. Yes, we had Godfrey
Khotso Mokoena. He's a bit older | 3:47:45 | 3:47:51 | |
than me | 3:47:51 | 3:47:52 | |
Khotso Mokoena. He's a bit older
than me. He wants in 2008 and seem | 3:47:52 | 3:47:58 | |
to be the start of this resurgence
in South Africa. In Cuba, we've had | 3:47:58 | 3:48:04 | |
a few 8.2, 8.3, especially in
Havana. But then they never really | 3:48:04 | 3:48:09 | |
produced another as they have
previously. Now we have a new kid on | 3:48:09 | 3:48:13 | |
the block. You'll really be mixing
it up with those South Africans. It | 3:48:13 | 3:48:16 | |
makes it really exciting. What do
you make of his potential? Is he a | 3:48:16 | 3:48:20 | |
guy who can get over into 8.5 and
upwards? Absolutely. Watching him | 3:48:20 | 3:48:27 | |
out there today, 100%. What you jump
in doors, if you get a nice wind, | 3:48:27 | 3:48:30 | |
and nice bit of sun like to get in
Havana, he could maybe produce a lot | 3:48:30 | 3:48:36 | |
more than 8.5, maybe 8.6. He reminds
me of Pedrosa, just a bit taller. | 3:48:36 | 3:48:44 | |
That really works in his favour. His
vast, powerful, has range on the | 3:48:44 | 3:48:51 | |
runway and has a competitive edge.
That's the whole package. We see a | 3:48:51 | 3:48:55 | |
lot of talented jumpers over the
years but they've never had the | 3:48:55 | 3:49:00 | |
edge. To do what he did tonight,
that shows a top competitor coming | 3:49:00 | 3:49:04 | |
through. You have to have that
competitive edge now at long | 3:49:04 | 3:49:08 | |
jumping. It's extremely competitive.
Yes, it's starting to change. | 3:49:08 | 3:49:13 | |
Thankfully I had my period of
winning with 8.3 and 8.4 as I did in | 3:49:13 | 3:49:20 | |
that time. What you find is when
these are -- whether slight lulls | 3:49:20 | 3:49:26 | |
and at one period it was just me
going into the majors and thinking I | 3:49:26 | 3:49:29 | |
had a great chance of winning it,
and others seem to never be pushing | 3:49:29 | 3:49:32 | |
it, now we have a load of guys
pushing the event. What will happen | 3:49:32 | 3:49:36 | |
it will have a lot more guys are
jumping significantly further | 3:49:36 | 3:49:40 | |
because there are so many. We have
more and more events night and it is | 3:49:40 | 3:49:44 | |
the fast women, the 60-metre final.
But it earlier this evening we had | 3:49:44 | 3:49:48 | |
three semifinals but there was one
in particular, the first one, which | 3:49:48 | 3:49:52 | |
was loaded with talent.
Unfortunately for Asha Philip, it | 3:49:52 | 3:49:55 | |
was the one she was drawn in but it
didn't fail to deliver. | 3:49:55 | 3:50:03 | |
was the one she was drawn in but it
didn't fail to deliver. No, look at | 3:50:03 | 3:50:04 | |
the gap. On a world-class field,
that is semifinal. She got a | 3:50:04 | 3:50:10 | |
cracking start, great athletes,
great power. Dafne Schippers on the | 3:50:10 | 3:50:15 | |
right side. Further over in lane
six, the field was loaded. Asha did | 3:50:15 | 3:50:24 | |
well but this was always going to be
tough for her. She was unfortunately | 3:50:24 | 3:50:28 | |
drawn in the toughest heat of all. I
can't take anything away from her. I | 3:50:28 | 3:50:33 | |
think she ran pretty well and did
the best she could and it was always | 3:50:33 | 3:50:36 | |
going to be tough. Watching her run,
she didn't tighten up, didn't worry. | 3:50:36 | 3:50:45 | |
This was heat to. The Ivory Coast,
Ta Lou. They want to macro heats. | 3:50:45 | 3:50:56 | |
Ivory Coast is looking really good.
This is going to be an amazing final | 3:50:56 | 3:51:02 | |
and I can't wait to see at.
Thereabouts to enter the arena to | 3:51:02 | 3:51:06 | |
the usual fanfare -- thereabouts to
enter the arena. Only two women have | 3:51:06 | 3:51:13 | |
dipped under seven seconds today,
Elaine Thompson and morale of | 3:51:13 | 3:51:16 | |
hooray. We shouldn't necessarily be
expecting super-quick time is -- | 3:51:16 | 3:51:22 | |
Mariella Hori. Because they don't
have the daylight that Greg was | 3:51:22 | 3:51:29 | |
talking about, the fatigue starts to
set in. They are on hyper girl mode | 3:51:29 | 3:51:36 | |
and you get a faster time. It could
go the other way and we could see a | 3:51:36 | 3:51:40 | |
very fast time. These athletes also
know they're going to have to run | 3:51:40 | 3:51:43 | |
fast in order to get on the. They're
not thinking about three lanes or | 3:51:43 | 3:51:50 | |
two lanes. They can put everything
into the 60-metre race. Often these | 3:51:50 | 3:51:56 | |
guys go out and compete in multiple
events. Dangerous right here. I | 3:51:56 | 3:52:01 | |
think because she didn't have a fast
time coming into the championships, | 3:52:01 | 3:52:06 | |
she was counted out a bit, but she
has improved every round, so Elaine | 3:52:06 | 3:52:14 | |
Thompson can be very dangerous. I
hope she holds her form and gets in | 3:52:14 | 3:52:17 | |
the mix. From what we've seen so
far, I think this young lady year, | 3:52:17 | 3:52:22 | |
who has delivered every time at this
stage. In doors she's so well suited | 3:52:22 | 3:52:29 | |
for it. She gets out really quick.
She's one of those women who has run | 3:52:29 | 3:52:34 | |
under seven seconds. She is very,
very dangerous. OK, that's what | 3:52:34 | 3:52:38 | |
these guys think. Steve Cram, it's a
wide open race, isn't it? Hopefully | 3:52:38 | 3:52:44 | |
it will be spitting spectacle to the
end of our first full day here in | 3:52:44 | 3:52:48 | |
Birmingham.
COMMENTATOR: Yeah, just to pick up, | 3:52:48 | 3:52:51 | |
I think you were referring to their
best times ever. Nobody has run | 3:52:51 | 3:52:55 | |
under seven seconds. Would be
unusual. It's been a while. Shelly | 3:52:55 | 3:53:01 | |
Ann Fraser Price a couple of
championships ago run under seven. | 3:53:01 | 3:53:04 | |
Only nine people have ever run under
seven seconds but two of them are in | 3:53:04 | 3:53:10 | |
the field, Ahoure and Thomson have
done it in the past. How quickly? | 3:53:10 | 3:53:15 | |
Ahoure in lane four, she has to turn
silver into gold here. She's twice | 3:53:15 | 3:53:19 | |
won silver medals at the world
indoor Championships. Head team-mate | 3:53:19 | 3:53:24 | |
Ta Lou, last year won a silver medal
outdoors. Ivory Coast have never won | 3:53:24 | 3:53:29 | |
gold at a major champs. Could this
be the first time? Kambundji in the | 3:53:29 | 3:53:37 | |
middle of them but don't forget
Dafne Schippers, the world champion | 3:53:37 | 3:53:42 | |
of the 200 metres. | 3:53:42 | 3:53:49 | |
of the 200 metres. Murielle got the
best start. It's going to be gold | 3:53:49 | 3:53:52 | |
for Ahoure! 1-2 for the Ivory Coast.
6.97! | 3:53:52 | 3:54:02 | |
6.97! Murielle Ahoure has finally
done it! Her country will be so | 3:54:02 | 3:54:06 | |
proud, its gold and silver for Ivory
Coast. Murielle Ahoure has run one | 3:54:06 | 3:54:13 | |
of the quickest ever 60 metres.
Superb performance, a brilliant | 3:54:13 | 3:54:16 | |
start. The rest were chasing her
home and look what that means to | 3:54:16 | 3:54:23 | |
her. She's a brilliant 60-metre
runner. Ta Lou is the silver winner | 3:54:23 | 3:54:32 | |
and that will go with the two she
won outdoors last year. She will be | 3:54:32 | 3:54:36 | |
delighted with her team-mate. Your
60-metre running with a special | 3:54:36 | 3:54:41 | |
skill. Lots of great people have
never been able to combine that and | 3:54:41 | 3:54:45 | |
outdoors. We've talked about some of
them, the likes of Nelly Kuhlman. | 3:54:45 | 3:54:48 | |
The beginnings of these world indoor
Championships. What Ahoure has to be | 3:54:48 | 3:54:54 | |
one of the best ever now and she can
put herself right up there with all | 3:54:54 | 3:54:58 | |
those other big names, particularly
with that performance today, Colin. | 3:54:58 | 3:55:03 | |
Yes, an outstanding performance by
Ahoure. And the Swiss sneaking in | 3:55:03 | 3:55:12 | |
with the bronze medal. Very nice to
see, but there is our gold and | 3:55:12 | 3:55:15 | |
silver-medallists. She lives up to
seventh all-time with 6.9 seven. A | 3:55:15 | 3:55:25 | |
world leader and what an indoor
season that young lady has had! . | 3:55:25 | 3:55:31 | |
We'll have another chance to have a
look at it, Colin, but the signs | 3:55:31 | 3:55:35 | |
were there in the semifinal that
she's come here on the top of her | 3:55:35 | 3:55:40 | |
game. I've always wondered whether
she is ever quite had the belief | 3:55:40 | 3:55:42 | |
sometimes, you know,. Obviously
Elaine Thompson was in this but | 3:55:42 | 3:55:48 | |
she's had some great people to race
against. Last time she won silver, | 3:55:48 | 3:55:51 | |
Shelly Ann Fraser priced ran 6.98 in
the final so it isn't as if you have | 3:55:51 | 3:55:57 | |
been beaten by good people. This was
a chance she had to seize this time | 3:55:57 | 3:56:00 | |
round. She's just found Kambundji,
she got the bronze. Really exciting. | 3:56:00 | 3:56:07 | |
Brilliant deceivers. They've worked
hard all the way through the season, | 3:56:07 | 3:56:10 | |
just edging their way through,
haven't they? Taking victories when | 3:56:10 | 3:56:14 | |
it matters, Kambundji sets a new
national record of 7.0 three. When | 3:56:14 | 3:56:19 | |
it came to it at the world indoors
she produces another good strong | 3:56:19 | 3:56:23 | |
performance. 7.05 for the Swiss.
Great performance but there is our | 3:56:23 | 3:56:28 | |
gold and silver-medallists. | 3:56:28 | 3:56:33 | |
She's just unfortunately been in an
era when there's been some great, | 3:56:40 | 3:56:44 | |
great sprinters from Jamaica, the
US. Dafne Schippers is in the 200 | 3:56:44 | 3:56:50 | |
metres, as well. This could be the
turning point for Ahoure. Not many | 3:56:50 | 3:56:54 | |
times you'll see that Elaine Thomson
and Dafne Schippers get in there at | 3:56:54 | 3:57:02 | |
all. She's a brilliant exponent of
this. Full of confidence, great run | 3:57:02 | 3:57:06 | |
in the semifinal. She just did
exactly what she knew she was | 3:57:06 | 3:57:10 | |
capable of. Accurate at the
beginning, out of the blocks really | 3:57:10 | 3:57:13 | |
hard, very fast, getting into the
good caters she has. Your Mac or she | 3:57:13 | 3:57:18 | |
doesn't go from side to side,
straight as an arrow, keeping focus, | 3:57:18 | 3:57:21 | |
all power going in the exact place
it needs to be. Focused hard. Don't | 3:57:21 | 3:57:27 | |
want to put any stress or strain,
she knows that Elaine Thomas... | 3:57:27 | 3:57:32 | |
Thomson, she knows she's living
champion, she knows she can close | 3:57:32 | 3:57:38 | |
down but it won't happen this time.
Look at that wild, focused, | 3:57:38 | 3:57:43 | |
determined. Work, work, work, all
the way through to the line. Nothing | 3:57:43 | 3:57:47 | |
Elaine Thompson could do on this
occasion. Ahoure is out hard, | 3:57:47 | 3:57:53 | |
aggressive, controlled, and takes a
very good victory. 6.97, a world | 3:57:53 | 3:57:56 | |
leading performance. Well, when you
come and win your first ever gold | 3:57:56 | 3:58:04 | |
medal at a World Championships for
your country, never mind yourself | 3:58:04 | 3:58:07 | |
individually, you do want to do it
with this sort of performance. This | 3:58:07 | 3:58:12 | |
is a top ten ever performance from
Murielle Ahoure. Ta Lou with the | 3:58:12 | 3:58:21 | |
silver and Kambundji with the
bronze. Brilliant performance from | 3:58:21 | 3:58:23 | |
those two. Enjoy this from Ahoure,
it may signal something from her in | 3:58:23 | 3:58:29 | |
the summer. She can do well over 100
metres, as well. 5000th of a second | 3:58:29 | 3:58:35 | |
between Kambundji and Ta Lou woman
who was rewarded herself with the | 3:58:35 | 3:58:43 | |
silver medal. And the world leading
6.97 and the gold medal for Murielle | 3:58:43 | 3:58:47 | |
Ahoure. First ever goal for the
Ivory Coast. | 3:58:47 | 3:58:50 | |
Ahoure. First ever goal for the
Ivory Coast. | 3:58:50 | 3:58:52 | |
STUDIO: You talk about being born in
different eras and how perhaps your | 3:58:52 | 3:58:56 | |
history would have changed were it
not for being born a particular | 3:58:56 | 3:59:00 | |
strength. Murielle Ahoure, had she
not been born in the era of Jamaican | 3:59:00 | 3:59:06 | |
dominance in spread she would have
been world champion in 2013, 14. | 3:59:06 | 3:59:10 | |
This is someone who is not -- this
is not someone who has suddenly come | 3:59:10 | 3:59:14 | |
to the fore at 30 will stop she's
been knocking on the door, waiting | 3:59:14 | 3:59:18 | |
for the moment and she brilliantly
today. She really did, she is a | 3:59:18 | 3:59:22 | |
fantastic talent. She was at the
University of Miami in the US and | 3:59:22 | 3:59:28 | |
she's been there in the finals
trying to get amongst the medals. | 3:59:28 | 3:59:31 | |
This was a fantastic performance by
her. Start to finish, every round, | 3:59:31 | 3:59:36 | |
she continues to improve, as herself
and established herself as a | 3:59:36 | 3:59:39 | |
favourite from the beginning and
said, come and get me. She went to | 3:59:39 | 3:59:42 | |
the finals and did the same thing,
got out of the box, even away from | 3:59:42 | 3:59:47 | |
her compatriot Ta Lou, who is a
brilliant starter and said, you've | 3:59:47 | 3:59:50 | |
got to come and get me and no one
was able to do that. Lets go and | 3:59:50 | 3:59:55 | |
hear from Ta Lou. Silver medal in an
incredible, incredible race. How do | 3:59:55 | 4:00:02 | |
you feel? I'm happy because when I
came here I didn't expect to have a | 4:00:02 | 4:00:07 | |
metal because it's not my best. I
just came there to work for my stats | 4:00:07 | 4:00:17 | |
and I'm happy to have a silver
medal, so I'm just happy. I thank my | 4:00:17 | 4:00:24 | |
coach. And so on, and so on. You had
to come from behind there to secure | 4:00:24 | 4:00:31 | |
that second. What were you thinking
as you sort of came from behind so | 4:00:31 | 4:00:35 | |
much? You know, my start is bad. I
don't understand! Your start was not | 4:00:35 | 4:00:44 | |
the greatest, you had to come from
behind. What were you thinking? Did | 4:00:44 | 4:00:48 | |
you believe you could do it? Yeah,
for me, I was last. I have a big, | 4:00:48 | 4:00:54 | |
big finish. I do what my coach tells
me to do. Just run, run, run, do my | 4:00:54 | 4:01:02 | |
best to be in the top three. I
finished I was like, oh! I get it | 4:01:02 | 4:01:07 | |
and I finished. It's OK for me. I
didn't expect to do that. My best is | 4:01:07 | 4:01:12 | |
outdoor | 4:01:12 | 4:01:17 | |
outdoor season and Ivory Coast one,
two. How special is that? It's good | 4:01:18 | 4:01:22 | |
because, you know, | 4:01:22 | 4:01:27 | |
because, you know, every day, it's
really good. We got a gold medal, I | 4:01:29 | 4:01:36 | |
was happy because she has two years.
She had too many problems so for her | 4:01:36 | 4:01:45 | |
it's really a big gift for her this
year, so I hope it's really good for | 4:01:45 | 4:01:52 | |
her. Bank is so talking to us.
Please, come on. A phenomenal | 4:01:52 | 4:01:56 | |
bronze. How do you feel? It's
amazing. I'm just so happy I got the | 4:01:56 | 4:02:01 | |
bronze. Coming into this, Denise
Lewis said you were one of the | 4:02:01 | 4:02:05 | |
athletes to watch. She seems to be
right. Yes, it was a very good | 4:02:05 | 4:02:12 | |
competition. I gave my best and I'm
so happy because it was a very | 4:02:12 | 4:02:15 | |
strong field. All the fastest women
in the world were here. I'm happy. | 4:02:15 | 4:02:21 | |
That was an incredible field of
athletes. It was crazy. I was in the | 4:02:21 | 4:02:25 | |
middle and got the bronze! I'm just
happy. What will this do for you, | 4:02:25 | 4:02:30 | |
moving forward? The confidence of
knowing you can come to a | 4:02:30 | 4:02:32 | |
competition of this size and get the
medal? Yeah on its just a amazing. I | 4:02:32 | 4:02:37 | |
never thought I be able to do that.
It was always better and better. I'm | 4:02:37 | 4:02:42 | |
just happy I achieved it. I'm
looking forward to next season. | 4:02:42 | 4:02:47 | |
Thank you. | 4:02:47 | 4:02:52 | |
Sitting in the aisles clapping, was
the rail Ahoure. How happy are you? | 4:02:52 | 4:02:59 | |
An incredible performance. Thank
you, it's been a rough couple of | 4:02:59 | 4:03:03 | |
years, the last couple of years, I
lost my father to cancer, he was | 4:03:03 | 4:03:08 | |
battling cancer and we finally lost
him almost a year ago now, so then | 4:03:08 | 4:03:13 | |
the anniversary of his death is
coming up on March the 24th. It's | 4:03:13 | 4:03:16 | |
been a terrible time for me, so
just, I'm at a loss for words right | 4:03:16 | 4:03:21 | |
now. I just know that he was here
with me today, and I've worked so | 4:03:21 | 4:03:25 | |
hard to get back on top. The biggest
thing was working on my mental, | 4:03:25 | 4:03:33 | |
because mental execution wins races.
Coming into this race I just knew | 4:03:33 | 4:03:36 | |
that I had to be as sharp as an iron
out there and just go out there and | 4:03:36 | 4:03:43 | |
focus on my lane and execute. As you
say, it's been a difficult year, but | 4:03:43 | 4:03:47 | |
such a massive sacrifice that you
have to make to get to this level. | 4:03:47 | 4:03:50 | |
Can you give us an idea of what it
takes? Oh my goodness, I have so | 4:03:50 | 4:03:54 | |
many people to thank, my coach Alan
Powell has been unbelievable, he is | 4:03:54 | 4:04:00 | |
by rock, my mental Carmelita Jeter.
My massage therapist, my whole team | 4:04:00 | 4:04:05 | |
has been fantastic. To do this
turnaround, we came into this season | 4:04:05 | 4:04:11 | |
saying, OK, I've got two silvers at
the World Championships and my goal | 4:04:11 | 4:04:14 | |
was to be able to get a gold this
time, so there are times where I | 4:04:14 | 4:04:19 | |
thank God and I'm so blessed. Thank
you very much for talking to us, | 4:04:19 | 4:04:22 | |
thank you for winning such an
incredible race. Thank you so much, | 4:04:22 | 4:04:26 | |
thank you.
GABBY LOGAN: | 4:04:26 | 4:04:30 | |
What a great winner, grabbed what a
great way to win the day -- great | 4:04:30 | 4:04:35 | |
way to end the day. We seem great
performances at the Diamond League | 4:04:35 | 4:04:39 | |
and at the Olympic Games and World
Championships and 30 years old, | 4:04:39 | 4:04:44 | |
sometimes you have to wait for your
moment, don't you? Sometimes you do, | 4:04:44 | 4:04:48 | |
the team around her, all of the
work, she came | 4:04:48 | 4:04:51 | |
the team around her, all of the
work, she came into this | 4:04:51 | 4:04:51 | |
championship is absolutely ready and
rocket start, she never gave it up. | 4:04:51 | 4:04:55 | |
A great transition we just saw
there, a translation out of Drive | 4:04:55 | 4:05:01 | |
phrase into maximum velocity.
Fantastic running here, very | 4:05:01 | 4:05:04 | |
efficient. You look at all of the
athletes, you see Kambundji, some of | 4:05:04 | 4:05:10 | |
the athletes' arms out of their
side, she's very efficient with | 4:05:10 | 4:05:14 | |
every step and that's how you get to
the finish line quick. It's not just | 4:05:14 | 4:05:17 | |
about speed and power, its
biomechanical efficiency. She's one | 4:05:17 | 4:05:21 | |
of the best in the business at that.
She's always been very efficient. | 4:05:21 | 4:05:26 | |
She's a fantastic victory from a
well-deserved because of all of the | 4:05:26 | 4:05:29 | |
work she's done in putting this
together. This doesn't just happen. | 4:05:29 | 4:05:33 | |
The speed, power, efficiency, it
doesn't just happen. It's not | 4:05:33 | 4:05:44 | |
doesn't just happen. It's not born
talent, you work on those things. | 4:05:44 | 4:05:46 | |
Head on shot, not a lot of wasted
motion. If you watch Kambundji, the | 4:05:46 | 4:05:49 | |
bronze-medallist on the left of the
screen, arms coming out, elbows | 4:05:49 | 4:05:52 | |
coming out, not on what -- not a lot
of symmetry, the right arm is doing | 4:05:52 | 4:05:55 | |
something different to the left but
the opposite with Ahoure, everything | 4:05:55 | 4:05:58 | |
is symmetrical and efficient. It was
a great race. You talk about | 4:05:58 | 4:06:03 | |
Kambundji, for me it was a step up,
stepping up on an occasion like this | 4:06:03 | 4:06:08 | |
is a big deal. She's definitely put
them on the map today. You | 4:06:08 | 4:06:16 | |
is a big deal. She's definitely put
them on the map today. You picked | 4:06:16 | 4:06:16 | |
her out, Denise. We said is not
necessarily about winning medals but | 4:06:16 | 4:06:20 | |
yours has gone and got one for you.
It was about picking out names and | 4:06:20 | 4:06:24 | |
people who may have a great
championship and somebody who may be | 4:06:24 | 4:06:26 | |
a name to look out for in the
future. Kambundji has done it for | 4:06:26 | 4:06:31 | |
you, she has put herself out there.
Dadic, Tony Minichiello, she got the | 4:06:31 | 4:06:37 | |
silver in the pentathlon earlier and
Michael, it's the turn of the men | 4:06:37 | 4:06:44 | |
tomorrow, and the Chinese will be
out there. Christian Coleman of the | 4:06:44 | 4:06:48 | |
USA may have something to say about
him making tops one. We were told we | 4:06:48 | 4:06:52 | |
could not pick Christian Coleman.
That's why Christian Coleman's name | 4:06:52 | 4:06:57 | |
is not out there because he's one to
watch. He's already a world | 4:06:57 | 4:07:03 | |
silver-medallist I'm looking forward
to that 60 tomorrow and the Chinese | 4:07:03 | 4:07:07 | |
will be in the final and has an
opportunity to do something special. | 4:07:07 | 4:07:12 | |
It's Christian Coleman's race to
win. He's got the target on his | 4:07:12 | 4:07:15 | |
back. He seems to be an athlete who
is well prepared to carry that | 4:07:15 | 4:07:18 | |
burden who we will get to see
tomorrow. We saw Kenny Harrison | 4:07:18 | 4:07:23 | |
today make absolutely sure that she
was through to the next round, a | 4:07:23 | 4:07:26 | |
brilliant run in the hurdles,
another world record holder in | 4:07:26 | 4:07:29 | |
Coleman out tomorrow. It's exciting
when people are here at the top | 4:07:29 | 4:07:37 | |
when people are here at the top of
their game and he'll want to take | 4:07:38 | 4:07:40 | |
home top spot. I think Coleman can
go out there and what we've seen | 4:07:40 | 4:07:43 | |
going out with the guys running fast
as he could put a seriously fast | 4:07:43 | 4:07:46 | |
time down, another world record. It
would be incredible for everybody | 4:07:46 | 4:07:48 | |
here and everybody watching, if they
get to see somebody winning a world | 4:07:48 | 4:07:51 | |
record. Sometimes it's a
once-in-a-lifetime. Lets hope the | 4:07:51 | 4:07:55 | |
weather is kind to as tomorrow and
people can get here to these | 4:07:55 | 4:07:58 | |
championships. If you can't and you
have a ticket, don't worry, plenty | 4:07:58 | 4:08:02 | |
of people will be watching at home
and we'll be | 4:08:02 | 4:08:05 | |
of people will be watching at home
and we'll be starting at 9:45am on | 4:08:05 | 4:08:07 | |
BBC Two. In the evening, the session
starts at 5:30pm. Of course we have | 4:08:07 | 4:08:12 | |
the 400 metres finals to look
forward to, two British women going, | 4:08:12 | 4:08:19 | |
Zoey Clark and Eilidh Doyle, going
in this 400 metre finals, which | 4:08:19 | 4:08:22 | |
Zoey Clark and Eilidh Doyle, going
in this 400 metre finals, which we | 4:08:22 | 4:08:23 | |
are very excited about. There's been
a few disqualifications, a few | 4:08:23 | 4:08:27 | |
controversies along the way. Greg,
we have to say goodbye to you from | 4:08:27 | 4:08:31 | |
the studio. I've not been invited
back... I'm waiting for the umbrella | 4:08:31 | 4:08:36 | |
to pull me off in a moment. You can
stay as long as you want but you | 4:08:36 | 4:08:40 | |
have other things to get on with.
We've loved having you here for a | 4:08:40 | 4:08:43 | |
thrilling long jump competition.
Thank you for having me, it was a | 4:08:43 | 4:08:48 | |
great spectacle. Safe journey back
home to the hotel, put your winter | 4:08:48 | 4:08:52 | |
boots on. We'll be back tomorrow,
9:45am on BBC Two. | 4:08:52 | 4:09:00 |
