:00:54. > :00:57.The stunning Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, the perfect setting for
:00:58. > :01:02.the start of a new athletics year. And it is not just any year, because
:01:03. > :01:06.another breathtaking location awaits us in eight months' time in Rio de
:01:07. > :01:10.Janeiro and the 2016 Olympic Games, where it will actually be a lot
:01:11. > :01:14.warmer. It is not a day for extremities here in Edinburgh,
:01:15. > :01:19.particularly one's knows. Good day to you on the day of the
:01:20. > :01:24.cross-country International Challenge. Truth be told, the
:01:25. > :01:33.interest today is all in one individual. He's destroying them in
:01:34. > :01:44.the home straight! It is going to be double gold, double European
:01:45. > :01:50.champion! Gold for Mo Farah! He is going to make it two gold
:01:51. > :01:55.medals for Great Britain! Beautiful! He is sprinting for gold he is
:01:56. > :02:03.running for greatness! Mo Farah is going to get there again. Farah wins
:02:04. > :02:09.it! Mo Farah takes his second gold medal of the European Championships.
:02:10. > :02:17.Mo Farah is the world champion again! We are all excited about
:02:18. > :02:21.seeing Mo Farah start his Olympic year in Edinburgh, including our
:02:22. > :02:26.special guest, European 10,000 metre champion Jo Pavey. What a
:02:27. > :02:32.transformation since he last raised here in 2011. It is incredible.
:02:33. > :02:36.Double world champion, two times, double Olympic champion. It is
:02:37. > :02:40.incredible. Cross-country used to be an important part of his training,
:02:41. > :02:46.and it is great to see him in Edinburgh, getting out there to test
:02:47. > :02:51.himself. We will hear from Mo Farah shortly, but first, what are your
:02:52. > :02:55.plans for this Olympic year? You are not retired. No. I never thought I
:02:56. > :02:59.would be stood here saying that I want to make another Olympic Games.
:03:00. > :03:03.I am not complacent about that. I am getting old and there are so many
:03:04. > :03:09.good girls, so it will not be easy, but I will give it a go. Good luck.
:03:10. > :03:13.Yesterday, we had a good chinwag with Mo about the challenges ahead
:03:14. > :03:20.this year. Happy New Year's Day, Mo. And it is not as any year, it is an
:03:21. > :03:24.Olympic year. How important is that you? I can't believe it has been
:03:25. > :03:31.four years since London. I am excited about 2016. I am still
:03:32. > :03:36.motivated, and I want to defend my title. It would be nice to do that.
:03:37. > :03:40.Does it make you look back as much as you look forward when you think
:03:41. > :03:46.about how amazing London was? I couldn't imagine my life would
:03:47. > :03:50.change so much. Obviously, my dream was always to become an athlete, and
:03:51. > :03:56.improve along the way. One step I had to take was to move my whole
:03:57. > :04:02.family to the US. I was willing to think it might or might not work and
:04:03. > :04:07.I was willing to take that risk. You also had the flirtation with the
:04:08. > :04:13.marathon. How do you look back on that now? The marathon was tough,
:04:14. > :04:18.tough, tough. A different pain, different game. It was nice to get
:04:19. > :04:25.that experience around London. I got massive support. It would have been
:04:26. > :04:30.nice if I ran a bit faster. You were disappointed? I was. You think
:04:31. > :04:36.post-Rio, you will step up to the marathon? I want to know I can run
:04:37. > :04:41.faster! In your mind, you want to run faster. I don't know if I can,
:04:42. > :04:48.but I believe I can. We will have to give it a go. Why have you decided,
:04:49. > :04:52.this year for years, to do cross-country? It is important for
:04:53. > :04:56.me to do cross-country. As a youngster, I was always a
:04:57. > :05:01.cross-country runner. The last time I competed here was 2011, so I just
:05:02. > :05:08.wanted to get in a racing mind again. It is a big year, Rio, so you
:05:09. > :05:16.can't over train. It is going to be cold. Very cold. What are you
:05:17. > :05:25.expecting? My aim is just to win the race. Sit back early on and work my
:05:26. > :05:35.way through. It is going to be hard, but I am in reasonably good shape,
:05:36. > :05:39.so I want to find out where I am. It is cold and wet. A very relaxed Mo
:05:40. > :05:43.Farah, and if he is under pressure this Olympic year, he is not showing
:05:44. > :05:47.it. Definitely not. It was lovely seeing him in the hotel at
:05:48. > :05:51.breakfast, talking to the youngsters and giving encouragement to the
:05:52. > :05:57.young athletes. He looks in great shape physically and mentally. It is
:05:58. > :06:01.just great to see him out here. Inevitably, our conversation turned
:06:02. > :06:07.towards drugs. He was a short excerpt of what Mo had to say. Do
:06:08. > :06:10.you trust the IAAF to protect your reputation? I trust myself, I don't
:06:11. > :06:19.know if I trust anyone else. That is all I can do. There will be a lot
:06:20. > :06:23.more of that later in the programme. Mo was expressing what a lot of
:06:24. > :06:27.athletes feel, a lack of trust in the governing body. It has been a
:06:28. > :06:32.shocking time for the sport with all the revelations of corruption and
:06:33. > :06:36.cover-ups and doping issues. It is awful. As athletes, we have lost
:06:37. > :06:41.confidence in the IAAF to protect the interests of clean athletes are
:06:42. > :06:46.training so hard day in, day out. It will take a lot of time and sweeping
:06:47. > :06:52.changes to rebuild that trust. In the meantime, do athletes have to
:06:53. > :06:56.take more control over their own destiny and more control of their
:06:57. > :06:59.own reputation? Yeah, I think athletes will have to take more
:07:00. > :07:04.ownership of their sport, especially as we are losing trust in things
:07:05. > :07:13.like governing bodies, being more transparent with medical data. Also,
:07:14. > :07:16.I had someone interviewing me about athletes wearing trackers. I would
:07:17. > :07:20.be prepared to do that, but they're obviously issues around that. And
:07:21. > :07:24.even more money into anti-doping, I would be repaired to pay part of my
:07:25. > :07:32.income towards helping the fight against doping. As athletes, we have
:07:33. > :07:37.the responsibility to take ownership of it. We need an independent body
:07:38. > :07:40.to work on anti-doping. We have lost faith in the governing body. And is
:07:41. > :07:44.more bad news to come with the wider report which Dick Pound has done,
:07:45. > :07:49.and out more information later this week. Let's turn our attention now
:07:50. > :08:03.to action today. Here is the timetable of what is coming on.
:08:04. > :08:10.First of all, it is an invitational relay with a very cold baton, I
:08:11. > :08:19.imagine. Let's say good afternoon to our commentary team, Steve Cram and
:08:20. > :08:23.Brendan Foster. Good afternoon, Jonathan. Happy new
:08:24. > :08:28.year to you and everybody else. We are just having problems for some
:08:29. > :08:31.reason. Great to be back in Edinburgh. I was here for hot
:08:32. > :08:36.Bernays, great place to spend new year and a great place to start the
:08:37. > :08:43.year -- I was here for Hogmanay. This 4 x 1km relay gives our track
:08:44. > :08:47.stands a chance to have a run out. Some of them will be heading to warm
:08:48. > :08:52.weather training to get out of the cold, including Charlie Pryce, who
:08:53. > :09:00.will be heading to Ethiopia with Mo after this race. Great Britain are
:09:01. > :09:04.presented, the USA, Europe, two teams from Scotland, England, Wales
:09:05. > :09:10.and Ireland. Scotland may well start as the favourites. Cameron is
:09:11. > :09:15.running for Scotland. Before I bring in Brendan, I have been told that if
:09:16. > :09:18.they dropped the baton, nobody will be disqualified. So it begs the
:09:19. > :09:25.question of why they are carrying a baton! Anyway, Brendan. Great to
:09:26. > :09:29.start the new year with a quiz. Hogmanay in Edinburgh obviously did
:09:30. > :09:34.you know harm. We are looking at some very good athletes here in a
:09:35. > :09:42.new event, the Stewart Cup, named after the famous Ian and Lachie
:09:43. > :09:46.Stewart, who had two marvellous victories in the Commonwealth Games
:09:47. > :09:49.in 1971 in Edinburgh. It was a brilliant occasion and it is nice
:09:50. > :09:54.for Scottish athletics to recognise the history of their sport. So the
:09:55. > :09:55.Stewart Cup is being won for the first time. Could a Scottish team
:09:56. > :10:11.when it? Charlie Pryce is the British runner.
:10:12. > :10:14.He is getting to warmer climes. He will go to Addis Ababa with Mo
:10:15. > :10:18.Farah, where they will train together. It will be an opportunity
:10:19. > :10:25.for Charlie Grice. He will be able to learn a lot about modern-day
:10:26. > :10:27.preparation for distance runners. That will be something we will
:10:28. > :10:34.follow with interest. His coach will be there. He is running well in
:10:35. > :10:41.third place, Charlie Grice, in the blue of Great Britain. Cameron Boyek
:10:42. > :10:50.is leading. He has not raced for a while. It is a one kilometre lap on
:10:51. > :10:54.this top field in the Holyrood area. They don't go on the more difficult
:10:55. > :11:01.section, which is the longer lap. Cameron Boyek will hand over to
:11:02. > :11:20.Steph Twell. Charlie Grice is trying to come onto
:11:21. > :11:27.the shoulder of Cameron Boyek. These three are trying to get away from
:11:28. > :11:33.the rest. They have to make sure to get the handover is right. It is
:11:34. > :11:38.very close. Scotland, Europe, Great Britain and England pretty much
:11:39. > :11:43.locked together. Boyek might be in the lead. Steph Twell will be
:11:44. > :11:59.delighted to get the baton first. Europe in second place. Katy Holland
:12:00. > :12:05.represents Great Britain, and Alex Bell for England. Scotland are in
:12:06. > :12:08.the lead. We have seen Steph Twell one here many times, normally over a
:12:09. > :12:14.lot the distance. She had a series of injuries here a few years ago.
:12:15. > :12:19.This mixed relay is a new opportunity for the men and women to
:12:20. > :12:24.run together, and for the men and women of Scotland to take on the
:12:25. > :12:29.might of Europe, Great Britain and the USA. Steph Twell is no stringent
:12:30. > :12:36.to this course or to the 1500m short distance. She is working hard. It is
:12:37. > :12:41.a great way to start the day. There is a great tradition of
:12:42. > :12:46.cross-country running in Scotland. Hamilton racecourse has did the
:12:47. > :12:50.first world International series. In 2008, we have the world
:12:51. > :12:56.cross-country Championships on this very course. So it is a strong
:12:57. > :13:06.tradition, and a good run by Stephanie 12. She has done what you
:13:07. > :13:10.expected, gone out hard. She can run hard from the beginning. Alex Bell
:13:11. > :13:21.has done a good job of trying to run her in. As they come around the top
:13:22. > :13:28.section, they will head back towards the finish line. They have maybe 500
:13:29. > :13:36.metres left to run. Ireland is coming back into it. Emily Dudgeon
:13:37. > :13:52.for Scotland B, and Great Britain starting to drop back a bit. Steph
:13:53. > :13:56.is doing a good job. In the relays, you wouldn't mind being in second
:13:57. > :13:59.place. You don't have to be leading all the way, but being on the
:14:00. > :14:06.shoulder of the leader would be a good position. The Irish athlete is
:14:07. > :14:11.moving neatly into third place. Scotland first, England second,
:14:12. > :14:18.Ireland third. It is going to be very tight at the takeover. Laura
:14:19. > :14:26.Crowe really taking that section well. Alex Bell for England in
:14:27. > :14:33.second place. And oppression from Ireland, Emily Dudgeon running a
:14:34. > :14:42.great race for Scotland B -- Emily Dudgeon. Steph will turn into the
:14:43. > :14:50.home straight, still with the lead. We are only at the halfway point,
:14:51. > :14:55.two legs completed. Next will be James Bowness, who was in the
:14:56. > :15:04.winning team last year. Great Britain are long way behind.
:15:05. > :15:08.Scotland A are leading Scotland B. That is young Josh Kerr with the
:15:09. > :15:13.baton who has just got through. He was junior athlete of the year last
:15:14. > :15:20.year in Scotland, and he is going to attack Jake Wightman.
:15:21. > :15:24.Jake Whitman running very impressively here. We hope to see
:15:25. > :15:29.him make progress this year and make the Olympic team. He was very close.
:15:30. > :15:35.He ran the Commonwealth games for Scotland. Ran a really good time.
:15:36. > :15:40.Over 1,500 metres. His father was a distinguished marathon runner.
:15:41. > :15:43.Ireland moving into second place. If you think about it, Jake Whitman's
:15:44. > :15:47.got a big incentive here. Can he lead Scotland into the start of the
:15:48. > :15:51.last lap, where he is handing over the Scotland's athlete of the year.
:15:52. > :15:58.One of the most successful athletes in Britain this year, Laura Muir.
:15:59. > :16:02.Jake Whitman moving neatly. The Scottish second team dropping there.
:16:03. > :16:06.There's Michael Rimmer. A rare outing for him. Nice to see him
:16:07. > :16:12.digging deep at this point in the year. Michael is off to the sunshine
:16:13. > :16:16.of Kenya next week. He'll be looking forward to that I'm sure. Wightman
:16:17. > :16:22.being put under pressure from Everard of Ireland. Jake had a bit
:16:23. > :16:30.of a disappointing 2015 after a stellar 2014, where he represented
:16:31. > :16:34.Scotland in the wealth Games. Ran 3: 35 in the 1,500 metres. He will be
:16:35. > :16:39.looking to return to that form in the new year. Places in the team,
:16:40. > :16:43.five or six men will begin the year thinking, I want to be in the team
:16:44. > :16:48.for Rio, and he'll be one of them. But that lead has been whittled away
:16:49. > :16:52.and Everard of Ireland looking strong. They've got a few hundred
:16:53. > :16:57.metres to go. Everard has run aggressively. And now Jake Whitman
:16:58. > :17:03.is under pressure. Got to hold him off, got to try to give Laura Muir a
:17:04. > :17:07.chance. You wouldn't bet against Laura Muir, or Scotland at this
:17:08. > :17:11.point. Wightman has to do his part. It is muddy there. It is difficult.
:17:12. > :17:20.Everard is attacking him, running strongly. And Everard alongside him.
:17:21. > :17:28.Jake Whitman rallying round that bend, and wants to hang on and give
:17:29. > :17:34.Laura Muir the lead. I'm sure this is a winning run from Scotland.
:17:35. > :17:39.Kerry O'Flaherty is a good runner, but she won't be able to hang on to
:17:40. > :17:46.Laura Muir, who has been showing good form this year. Look how
:17:47. > :17:49.quickly Laura has opened up the gap. Charlene Thomas chasing down for
:17:50. > :17:53.third place, with Smith hanging on for England at the moment. That's
:17:54. > :17:59.the battle for third and fourth. Laura Muir attacking right from the
:18:00. > :18:06.beginning. Kerry doesn't have that sort of track speed that Laura Muir
:18:07. > :18:11.possesses. She was so disappointed with her run in the European under
:18:12. > :18:17.23s, where she went there thinking she would win a med A it was fast
:18:18. > :18:20.course and she finished outside the medals, totally exhausted. But she's
:18:21. > :18:24.in good form and she will be delighted to bring this home for
:18:25. > :18:27.Scotland. This would be a great victory for Scotland. A great start
:18:28. > :18:32.to the year for Laura Muir. Watch that name, because you're going to
:18:33. > :18:36.see a lot more of Laura Muir. I was so impressed with her last year. The
:18:37. > :18:41.American team working hard to get through. You can see the underfoot
:18:42. > :18:47.conditions, but they are not bothering Scotland's athlete of the
:18:48. > :18:53.year, Laura Muir. Her win in Oslo was so impressive. Fifth in the
:18:54. > :18:58.World Championships, was Laura Muir. Charlene Thomas for Great Britain
:18:59. > :19:05.moving into fourth, but Laura Muir won't give up on this one. We'll
:19:06. > :19:09.hear a mighty roar. The commentators are getting excited about the
:19:10. > :19:12.Stewart Cup. Named after two famous athletes who
:19:13. > :19:17.Stewart Cup. Named after two famous in 1970, down the road from here.
:19:18. > :19:21.This athlete is going to move into that calibre in the next couple of
:19:22. > :19:24.years. This is going to be a big, big year for her. She should be
:19:25. > :19:28.looking forward to the Olympic Games. Her preparations and strength
:19:29. > :19:34.training looks as though hate gone really well. She is juggling her
:19:35. > :19:38.veterinary studies, which takes up a lot of time and energy. They've
:19:39. > :19:44.strong her course out over a longer period to accommodate the successes
:19:45. > :19:47.she is having on the world thoiblgs stage. He
:19:48. > :19:52.she is having on the world thoiblgs stage. -- the world athletics stage.
:19:53. > :19:56.A good battle for second place. Smith was doing great for England.
:19:57. > :20:00.The 19-year-old in a scrap with Charlene Thomas, who has moved into
:20:01. > :20:04.second place now. Great Britain second, England third, Ireland
:20:05. > :20:09.fourth, but a long way behind, Scotland's finest here, they began
:20:10. > :20:15.the race as favourites and with the return to form of Jake Whitman,
:20:16. > :20:24.Steph Twell has been in good form, and the Laura Muir, they were always
:20:25. > :20:29.going to be tough to beat. Laura Muir can give the home crowd
:20:30. > :20:37.something to cheer in the 4 by 1 kilometre relay. She is going to win
:20:38. > :20:41.the Stewart Cup for Scotland. 11.34, the combined time. Great to see her
:20:42. > :20:47.in such good shape. Charlene Thomas ran a good last leg. Kerry
:20:48. > :20:52.O'Flaherty came through for third place. After Smith attacked early
:20:53. > :21:11.and couldn't hang on to that spot. And there is Laura Muir. A terrific
:21:12. > :21:15.2015 behind her, a good winter preparation so far and the start of
:21:16. > :21:25.the year anchoring the Scottish team. The victory, Cameron Boyek,
:21:26. > :21:33.Steph Twell running well. Jake Whitman holding them our and Laura
:21:34. > :21:38.Muir winning this race. Anchoring the Scottish team. Looking so
:21:39. > :21:44.impressive. Scotland's athlete of the year. Certainly has wintered
:21:45. > :21:49.well from what we've seen so far. That was a good opening, the Stuart
:21:50. > :21:56.trophy for the first time won by Scotland. And the times ky tell you.
:21:57. > :22:07.Cameron Boyek ran 2.43 on the first leg. Steph Twell, 3. 3.. Jake
:22:08. > :22:13.Whitman, 2.43 and Laura mule 2.03 seconds. Scotland, a second
:22:14. > :22:20.performance from them. A perfect start, a win for Scotland. Let's
:22:21. > :22:24.talk about Laura Muir. She had a great year last year. How do you see
:22:25. > :22:29.her chances of making an impact in Rio this year? She has a very good
:22:30. > :22:35.chance, she is still young. We were so impressived with her in 2015.
:22:36. > :22:40.Running 3.58, it is such a fast time. She just went for it. She was
:22:41. > :22:45.out there on her own on the track in Oslo and went for it. Her position
:22:46. > :22:48.at the world champs, fifth was so good. When you see the scale of the
:22:49. > :22:54.field, it was such a high-quality field. She has really making great
:22:55. > :22:59.inroads. She had a disappointing 2014, so to show people the talents
:23:00. > :23:04.she has got. Such an exciting prospect and what a popular home win
:23:05. > :23:09.today. She looked awesome. Let's look at the results for confirmation
:23:10. > :23:10.of that Scottish win, with Laura Muir bringing them home in first
:23:11. > :23:32.place. A comfortable win. Laura wake Hanks potentially the two
:23:33. > :23:36.of them could spur each other on for great performances. A lovely girl.
:23:37. > :23:40.They've got each other to work off each other and they encourage each
:23:41. > :23:44.other. It is really exciting to see the talent we've got in the UK.
:23:45. > :23:49.Really good news for the sport. It is not just about the elite athletes
:23:50. > :23:52.today. There was an opportunity earlier for the winter run for
:23:53. > :23:56.people of all shapes, sizes and abiltsd to get out and about on the
:23:57. > :24:01.course. There were 3,000 people who took part in total. I'm sure for a
:24:02. > :24:04.lot of them it was part of their New Year's resolution. They thought,
:24:05. > :24:10.what am I going to do to get back into the groove after the excesses
:24:11. > :24:14.of the Christmas and new year? They ran in Holyrood Park. There was a
:24:15. > :24:19.piper on every mile, just to encourage them along will. It was 5K
:24:20. > :24:24.race in total. And that was before the weather came in. It is raining
:24:25. > :24:29.here quite heavily. It is probably snowing on the top of Arthur's Seat.
:24:30. > :24:34.We are focusing on the team event now. Four races, two junior races
:24:35. > :24:41.happened earlier, and the men's and women's senior race. The junior race
:24:42. > :24:47.is the first four finishers to count and you get one point for winning,
:24:48. > :24:55.two points for second, and so on. The junior race happened earlier.
:24:56. > :25:04.An intriguing race. We've just had before Christmas the European junior
:25:05. > :25:06.cross-country championships. Kevin Mulcaire of Ireland had a
:25:07. > :25:11.disappointing run in France on a fast course, but on the second lap
:25:12. > :25:17.he really took off and built up quite a big lead on the chasing
:25:18. > :25:21.pack, which contained one or two of the medallists, Palcau of France
:25:22. > :25:27.representing Europe. Second in the cross-country championships, but the
:25:28. > :25:38.chasing pack was led by Great Britain's Alex Yee, a hi athlete, a
:25:39. > :25:45.triathlete. Mulcaire tried really hard at the end, a big sprint finish
:25:46. > :25:52.and Yee hung on by a couple of seconds. Mulcaire was second, well
:25:53. > :26:06.ahead of the European medallist, Palcau, who took third spot.
:26:07. > :26:14.You don't have to do too much adding up there to work out that Europe
:26:15. > :26:20.won, with 15 points. It is the cumulative points that will decide
:26:21. > :26:33.the title at the end of the four races. Great Britain 25, in second.
:26:34. > :26:41.Now the junior women. Bobby had an off day, but the course in France
:26:42. > :26:45.suited Harriet more. Bobby very much came into her own. Took control
:26:46. > :26:51.early on. Harriet did her best to hang on. It was only ever really
:26:52. > :26:54.between these two. Bobby Clay stuck to her task. That gap didn't
:26:55. > :27:02.increase quickly. Just dragged it out there. There was a good battle
:27:03. > :27:17.in the end for second place, as Moller of Denmark closed in on
:27:18. > :27:18.Harriet Knowles-Jones. Disappointment for European
:27:19. > :27:43.cross-country but a win today. In the team race Great Britain
:27:44. > :27:47.turned the tables on Europe. With 16 points versus 29 points, that is
:27:48. > :27:55.very good news for Great Britain, as we head into the centre races. So we
:27:56. > :28:00.put that into our computer and it means that Great Britain is in the
:28:01. > :28:04.lead with 41 points. Europe behind with 44, and the United States,
:28:05. > :28:14.defending champions, adrift with 85 points. But all that can change with
:28:15. > :28:21.the senior races. A quick word on the junior races, Alex Yee and Bobby
:28:22. > :28:25.Clay. She is so enthusiastic, so dedicated. Fresh from winning the
:28:26. > :28:30.European junior 1,500 metres. And Harriet ran well. She got a medal in
:28:31. > :28:37.the European junior cross-country. She ran well. Maybe the course was
:28:38. > :28:41.good for Bobby today but she was so strong, pulling away. Alex Yee an
:28:42. > :28:55.exciting youngster coming through. The future looks good in terms of
:28:56. > :28:59.Britain's cross-country. Steel, Avery, Kate won a silver medal, and
:29:00. > :29:03.the previous year as well. Gemma would have been disappointed with
:29:04. > :29:09.her race in the European cross. She was the reigning champion from the
:29:10. > :29:13.previous year. Fionnuala McCormack, another one the look out for.
:29:14. > :29:17.Anybody else to look out for in terms of the European teams? A good
:29:18. > :29:21.Spanish runner as well. Yes, the Spanish runners. There's a lot of
:29:22. > :29:25.strong Europeans running as well. It will be tough today. I'm confident
:29:26. > :29:34.in the British girls. They are just about ready to go. Back to Cram and
:29:35. > :29:40.Brendan. Thank you guys. It is not snowing in our seat, it might be on
:29:41. > :29:44.Arthur's Seat. We are dry and the sleet turns to rain. A they
:29:45. > :29:48.enthusiastic crowd. Still good underfoot here. There may be a
:29:49. > :29:55.threat from the Americans. The women's team is good. Amy Van
:29:56. > :29:57.Alstine has for the second time won the National Championships which
:29:58. > :30:01.were held in San Francisco in December. I bet the weather was a
:30:02. > :30:11.little bit different there. The I think that's good preparation for
:30:12. > :30:19.run in Edinburgh. Chelsea Reilly ran a fast 12 K. She's been included.
:30:20. > :30:26.Fionnuala McCormack, ran the European cross, with a good win in
:30:27. > :30:29.Brussels the week after. Kate Avery, what a great performance from her.
:30:30. > :30:35.Her father sadly dialled in the autumn. It was an emotional Kate
:30:36. > :30:42.Avery who ran brilliantly to win the silver medal at the European
:30:43. > :30:47.cross-country championships. Three teams from Great Britain and
:30:48. > :30:56.Northern Ireland, from Europe and from the USA. Gemma Steel will be
:30:57. > :30:59.looking to bounce back from what was a disappointing performance, but the
:31:00. > :31:04.threats will come from McCormack and maybe the Americans if they have
:31:05. > :31:12.overcome their jet lag. We shouldn't underestimate that. They only flew
:31:13. > :31:18.in 48 hours ago. It is tough flying from west to east.
:31:19. > :31:25.It is about how they are just and how they cope with this course. Six
:31:26. > :31:35.kilometres, and for the women, it is fairly straightforward. Four long
:31:36. > :31:41.lapse gives us the distance. Fionnuala McCormack has come to the
:31:42. > :31:48.fore very early on. A familiar sight to see Fionnuala McCormack. Irish
:31:49. > :32:01.athlete, representing Europe. She won this race a couple of years ago.
:32:02. > :32:03.Gemma Steel is on the outside. And Kate Avery, the runner-up in the
:32:04. > :32:10.European Chris country Championships. When I came here
:32:11. > :32:13.after the weather we have had recently, I couldn't believe how
:32:14. > :32:18.reasonably decent it was underfoot. I was expecting to see it almost
:32:19. > :32:22.waterlogged, but most of the course is pretty runnable. A few bits are
:32:23. > :32:28.bit muddy and sticky, but the drainage here has worked well. The
:32:29. > :32:31.athletes were looking around yesterday saying, it is not as bad
:32:32. > :32:38.as I thought it would be. I thought it would be terrible. The Irish
:32:39. > :32:42.athlete is repeated in Europe, being tracked by Kate Avery. Jo Pavey has
:32:43. > :32:49.just joined us from the rain in our little tent. What do you think of
:32:50. > :32:52.the course? I agree with you. You would have expected it to be a swamp
:32:53. > :32:57.by this stage with the weather we have had. It is obviously tough
:32:58. > :33:02.conditions, but you would have thought it would be wetter. I find
:33:03. > :33:05.these conditions tough, and I admire people who looked like they float
:33:06. > :33:16.over the mud. I tend to think into it. On that point, maybe we are soft
:33:17. > :33:26.in the north. It has been wet everywhere, in case you weren't
:33:27. > :33:33.aware! I agree with Brendan. The course was cutting up a bit. Lots of
:33:34. > :33:38.age-group races were held on an internal circuit, so it has left
:33:39. > :33:43.this course is good for the elite athletes. This is the bit where it
:33:44. > :33:46.is muddy it. Once you have crossed the road, the better ground is
:33:47. > :34:06.disappearing quickly. The words that Jo used earlier made
:34:07. > :34:12.me smile. The number of times I have heard today, athletes have said this
:34:13. > :34:19.is proper for us -- cross-country. It is a winter sport overall kinds
:34:20. > :34:23.of terrain. The great distance running tradition we have had over
:34:24. > :34:26.the years has been grounded with cross-country, but the words proper
:34:27. > :34:30.cross-country come to mind. Definitely. It is good to see a
:34:31. > :34:34.proper cross-country, and it gives the athletes who are strong at this
:34:35. > :34:39.sort of thing a chance to shine, because it is tough. I used to try
:34:40. > :34:43.my hardest. I remember running this race when it went up the really
:34:44. > :34:47.steep hill and my team-mate looked back at me and laughed as I
:34:48. > :34:51.struggled up the hill and I enjoyed that sort of banter. Proper
:34:52. > :34:55.cross-country, and the weather is now adding to that. That is what you
:34:56. > :34:59.want. It toughens you up in the winter. It is part of a lot of
:35:00. > :35:04.athletes' plan to get ready for the summer season. So, Fionnuala
:35:05. > :35:15.McCormack has won this race twice before and is pushing on at the
:35:16. > :35:20.front. Kate Avery is behind her. The Spanish athlete is in third spot.
:35:21. > :35:32.And the track specialist who ran in the under 23 race is behind. Europe
:35:33. > :35:44.have five athletes in the top section.
:35:45. > :35:55.The USA are not doing quite so well. First lap completed, just over five
:35:56. > :36:02.minutes. 1500 metres of tough running. Mud, it is wet and
:36:03. > :36:17.slippery. And a couple of hard hills as well.
:36:18. > :36:31.One lap of four completed by the women. Louise Damon is at the back
:36:32. > :36:36.of the pack. But there is the leading group. These three are
:36:37. > :36:41.settling down. Kate every of Great Britain, Fionnuala McCormack of
:36:42. > :36:47.Ireland, representing Europe. Gebre, representing Europe. And behind
:36:48. > :36:51.them, Gemma Steel is getting closer. She was a bit disappointed with her
:36:52. > :36:55.performance in the European cross-country. Gemma has won this
:36:56. > :37:03.race before. She is working hard towards the halfway point in that
:37:04. > :37:14.group with the European athletes. Beth Potter and Kate Avery are her
:37:15. > :37:19.team-mates ahead of her. Those four are scoring for Great Britain at
:37:20. > :37:35.this point. The European team are strong in this event. It will be a
:37:36. > :37:50.scrap between Europe and Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
:37:51. > :37:56.There are other members of the Great Britain team who are further behind.
:37:57. > :38:03.It is an interesting mix of athletes. Jo was saying she's
:38:04. > :38:08.heading into the trials in February. Other athletes are terrible
:38:09. > :38:17.marathons. Fionnuala McCormack may run the marathon in real. -- in Rio.
:38:18. > :38:21.You do get a mix of athletes. It can be a hard decision whether to go for
:38:22. > :38:24.the cross-country or go for the indoors or combine the two.
:38:25. > :38:27.Sometimes it is handy to do the indoors, because you then don't
:38:28. > :38:34.struggle as much to get into track shape. I used to find that
:38:35. > :38:37.beneficial in my younger years. At this stage, it might be too much of
:38:38. > :38:43.an injury risk for me. Then you have others who take cross-country as a
:38:44. > :38:47.way of gaining their strength and toughening them up and getting that
:38:48. > :38:50.real all-round conditioning which is also useful. There is a lot of
:38:51. > :38:56.decision-making going on, especially ahead of this Olympic year, were in
:38:57. > :38:59.the forefront of all athletes' mind will be olivine for the Olympic
:39:00. > :39:12.Games, which are so exciting. It is tough qualifying. As Jo was saying,
:39:13. > :39:16.it is not going to be easy. Hopefully, she will be in the mix as
:39:17. > :39:21.well. Kate every ran a personal best in the 10,000 metres last year. She
:39:22. > :39:25.is back in the UK now, based in the same place as Gemma Steel. She is
:39:26. > :39:32.one of the few athletes who has really benefited from her time at an
:39:33. > :39:37.American university. It really helped Kate develop and build her
:39:38. > :39:41.confidence not only in the country, but on the track as well. She has
:39:42. > :39:47.come back a different athlete. She has always had ability. I remember
:39:48. > :39:52.watching her run in the north-east. But she is full of confidence in her
:39:53. > :39:57.running now. She believes she belongs at this level. Definitely.
:39:58. > :40:03.And we all admire what she has been through in the last few months. She
:40:04. > :40:09.has mentioned that her dad sadly passed away. She has said that she
:40:10. > :40:14.has been able to get out there and run, and she is someone we all
:40:15. > :40:18.admire. She is going from strength to strength. She got a silver medal
:40:19. > :40:25.again this year after achieving it last year as well. It is great to
:40:26. > :40:28.see her running well today. It will do her good, being back at
:40:29. > :40:32.Loughborough. She will be able to join sessions with Gemma Steel. Like
:40:33. > :40:38.you say, that grounding in the US help to build her confidence. There
:40:39. > :40:42.is a great scene out there for youngsters, being part of a strong
:40:43. > :40:46.system. You can see the benefit it has had, Kate Avery running with
:40:47. > :40:50.other dogs. You have to be confident to take on the likes of Fionnuala
:40:51. > :40:55.McCormack and Gemma Steel and try and do it from the front. They are
:40:56. > :41:02.coming down the slope now. The crowd urging them on. They see the Great
:41:03. > :41:06.Britain vest in the lead, the European vest in second place, with
:41:07. > :41:10.Kate Avery being joined by Fionnuala McCormack. The two of them are
:41:11. > :41:17.starting to open up a gap. Now the athletes are used to the cold. I
:41:18. > :41:21.have been watching Gemma Steel. She is looking for an inside route to
:41:22. > :41:39.try and find some softer ground. Kate Avery is trying to win this
:41:40. > :41:47.race. That gap is only a few yards. Gemma Steel is settling down in
:41:48. > :41:59.fourth. The best of the Americans is Van Alstine. Charlotte arteries
:42:00. > :42:07.running well. She has been in great form this year. Her coach has a
:42:08. > :42:14.great group going, former 1500 runner. Charlotte is part of that
:42:15. > :42:20.group. She's moving through the field nicely and they need to,
:42:21. > :42:25.because Beth Potter is moving back and Europe are in a good position.
:42:26. > :42:31.Gemma Steel is running down Gebre for third spot. At the halfway
:42:32. > :42:41.point, Europe were leading Great Britain. You can see what Kate is
:42:42. > :42:47.trying to do. She is thinking, I have made them work hard. Now I can
:42:48. > :42:53.push on and build a winning lead. It is not that you can relax, because
:42:54. > :42:57.Kate has the strength and endurance to keep running hard. Kate knows she
:42:58. > :43:00.is always a bit vulnerable at the end in terms of the sprint finish,
:43:01. > :43:05.so she is doing the best she can to build a big lead. She is running
:43:06. > :43:12.brilliantly. She looks strong. She must be feeling confident. Like you
:43:13. > :43:17.say, that is the best tactic at this stage. Fionnuala McCormack is also a
:43:18. > :43:28.strong athlete and is also known for having a very good finish. This is a
:43:29. > :43:35.good performance by Fionnuala McCormack behind Kate every. She is
:43:36. > :43:41.getting ready to win the marathon in the Olympic Games for Ireland. She
:43:42. > :43:47.is in second place. It is an interesting point in the course. You
:43:48. > :43:50.can see that Fionnuala McCormack is more comfortable on the softer part
:43:51. > :43:56.of the course. Kate Avery is trying to open up a gap when she gets a
:43:57. > :43:59.chance. She is running strongly, confidently and aggressively. This
:44:00. > :44:04.is an attempt by Kate Avery to win this race from a long way out. I
:44:05. > :44:11.think Kate will also be heading out to Kenya to get in some valuable
:44:12. > :44:14.altitude training, but her mind is very much on winning this race.
:44:15. > :44:22.Coming back to the point you said, Brendan, watching Fionnuala's racing
:44:23. > :44:29.in Chicago last year, she looks like she has the attributes to run a good
:44:30. > :44:36.marathon, but 2.33, she was disappointed with that. She's surely
:44:37. > :44:42.capable of doing something much better. She has not quite got her
:44:43. > :44:47.head around the marathon. But she is a class athlete. She is good at
:44:48. > :44:54.distances on the road and in the country. She has a good technique.
:44:55. > :44:59.She runs comfortably when she is running fast. And she's still
:45:00. > :45:09.working hard in place. This race is an over. -- the race is not over.
:45:10. > :45:13.Some points of the race are better for Kate and some are better for
:45:14. > :45:16.Fionnuala McCormack. Kate is working hard. Is she going to be strong
:45:17. > :45:20.enough physically and mentally to hang on to the position she has
:45:21. > :45:25.gained? Fionnuala McCormack is in second place. We are now sensing
:45:26. > :45:31.that there is a chase on. We have seen her come from behind and win
:45:32. > :45:35.races. We have seen her run well in Edinburgh before. And Kate every,
:45:36. > :45:38.silver medallist from the European cross-country Championships earlier
:45:39. > :45:41.in the year, has a decent gap going into the start of the last lap. Just
:45:42. > :45:47.a few hundred metres to go before they hear the bell. One lap to go.
:45:48. > :45:54.Fionnuala McCormack chasing, Kate Avery running strongly.
:45:55. > :46:00.The water jump an issue for Kate Avery but she jumps over it. The
:46:01. > :46:06.wood dust is trying to soften some of the course. And here comes
:46:07. > :46:11.Fionnuala McCormack. She is still in striking distance. The lead hadn't
:46:12. > :46:15.really extended in the last half a mile or so. Kale still running
:46:16. > :46:19.strong but Fionnuala is probably thinking, if you falter even in the
:46:20. > :46:26.slightest way here, I've got a chance. So Kate Avery heads into the
:46:27. > :46:29.last lap with about a three-second lead over Fionnuala McCormack,
:46:30. > :46:36.representing Europe, the Irish athlete will be trying her best to
:46:37. > :46:48.close that gap. There is quite a big gap to Gemma Steel in third. Gebr
:46:49. > :46:54.for Europe. Gemma running strongly there. Look at her so far and we've
:46:55. > :46:58.seen never Kate Avery win a senior title before. And here's an
:46:59. > :47:03.opportunity against second athletes from Europe, the USA and the best of
:47:04. > :47:07.Great Britain, including Gebr and including Gemma Steel, but
:47:08. > :47:13.interestingly we've never seen her win one. And here she has a winning
:47:14. > :47:18.lead if she can stick to it. How will her thinking be on this point
:47:19. > :47:22.Jo? It will give her confidence if she can hold on to this lead. She is
:47:23. > :47:27.making use of the easier parts of the course. I remember I had to run
:47:28. > :47:30.cross-country in that way, in that I always lost ground on the more
:47:31. > :47:34.difficult bits. Fionnuala is fantastic to watch on the tough bits
:47:35. > :47:38.of the course, the way she floats over the ground. Kate is so strong
:47:39. > :47:41.and she is capitalising on the easier bits, but I think Fionnuala
:47:42. > :47:45.can sense her opportunities when the ground gets more tough. This is
:47:46. > :47:50.going to be fantastic if Kate can get this win. It really would be
:47:51. > :47:56.deserving of all the work she's put in and the dedicate that she has
:47:57. > :48:01.shown. As Jo was mentioning, Kate Avery is leading in the team race.
:48:02. > :48:05.It is Europe who are ahead and has put them ahead in terms of the
:48:06. > :48:09.overall competition as well. Europe doing well in this. They've got
:48:10. > :48:17.Fionnuala McCormack leading, Gebr in fourth place. Looks a little tired.
:48:18. > :48:26.A big gap to Bobocea, and then Anna Baumeister is in 8th place. In Great
:48:27. > :48:29.Britain Potter is holding up well. Jennie Nesbitt, and Fullerton. There
:48:30. > :48:37.is plenty of back-up for Great Britain. They can't complain about
:48:38. > :48:42.the leader of their team and of the race, Kate Avery, moving away if
:48:43. > :48:46.anything now. That lead's got bigger since they entered the last lap. A
:48:47. > :48:52.little look behind from Fionnuala, sensing she is giving up the chase
:48:53. > :48:56.here. Just checking she isn't in any danger from being caught for second
:48:57. > :49:07.place. Kate Avery looking good, looking strong, heading for victory.
:49:08. > :49:12.Kate Avery has got what looks like could be a winning lead, but she has
:49:13. > :49:17.to stick to her task now, has to dig deep and apply herself. That was a
:49:18. > :49:21.telling look earlier from Fionnuala McCormack as she looked over her
:49:22. > :49:28.shoulder. The last three years she has finished in second place. All
:49:29. > :49:34.the other times it has been behind a British athlete, behind Gemma Steel.
:49:35. > :49:38.Is it going be for a third time in a row, is Fionnuala McCormack going to
:49:39. > :49:43.be second behind another British athlete, Kate Avery? This is the
:49:44. > :49:47.part of the course where Kate isn't so comfortable but Fionnuala is. But
:49:48. > :49:52.Kate is working hard. She is getting good support. Swings around that
:49:53. > :49:56.bend. And there is the second place, the race for first and second, is it
:49:57. > :50:04.over for McCormack? The next few hundred metres will tell. Kate just
:50:05. > :50:09.looks stronger and stronger. When you attack a race like this, Jo,
:50:10. > :50:13.that's the way it has to with, you can't attack and then fade, that
:50:14. > :50:21.would be bad judgment. It is not the longest of races. 6 K is well within
:50:22. > :50:26.their comfort, as the championships race 8 K. It is no surprise the
:50:27. > :50:30.endurance is there. Definitely, looking at Fionnuala, you think
:50:31. > :50:36.that's a telltale sign. Kate hasn't looked back once. She has kept her
:50:37. > :50:41.head down and maintained her lead. But Fionnuala is having a great run
:50:42. > :50:47.as well. I'm so excited to see Kate running so well. She is such an
:50:48. > :50:51.exciting prospect for this country. In the last 400 metres Kate Avery
:50:52. > :50:56.saw that sign and is relaxing a bit. The one bit that worries me is the
:50:57. > :51:00.stream. She isn't too happy with that stream. She'll come over that
:51:01. > :51:05.little stream, be able to look ahead, she will see the sign shortly
:51:06. > :51:10.for 200 metres to go. And she is 200 metres away from the chance of a
:51:11. > :51:16.first senior international victory. It would be a good one. She takes no
:51:17. > :51:21.chance, and now she can relax. The brollies are up, the cagoules and
:51:22. > :51:27.the waterproof clothing, wrapped closely as the big crowd here cheers
:51:28. > :51:32.Kate Avery down into the finishing straight. It was second place for
:51:33. > :51:37.the second year in a row in the European cross-country championship
:51:38. > :51:41.which is, but here in Edinburgh Kate Avery is out on top. A superb run
:51:42. > :51:45.from the athlete representing Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
:51:46. > :51:49.CHEERING. A big victory, a great way to start way for 2016 for Avery
:51:50. > :51:52.antisocial behaviour. She wins it. Fionnuala McCormack never gave up
:51:53. > :51:58.the chase but couldn't get on terms. She takes second place. And huge
:51:59. > :52:01.smiles from Kate. Well done. And Gemma Steel, one last check behind,
:52:02. > :52:07.no real danger, she will finish clear in third spot. A solid run
:52:08. > :52:14.from Gemma. Having to accept that Kate at this point is certainly
:52:15. > :52:17.number one on the country. Gemma takes third, and a real scrap after
:52:18. > :52:38.that. A really close finish there. Binge Europe will end up, they will
:52:39. > :52:51.win the team race. It is a question of how many points. Potter lost one
:52:52. > :52:54.or two spots. A good run from Charlotte Artur. Kate Avery starts
:52:55. > :52:59.201 with a great win. Very Charlotte Artur. Kate Avery starts
:53:00. > :53:02.201 with a great win. -- 2016 with a great win. Kate, many
:53:03. > :53:09.congratulations. Biggest win of your career? Definitely. I always seem to
:53:10. > :53:14.be in the medals but never quite on top. Always a bright maid of the
:53:15. > :53:20.Europeans in the last two years. I'm over the Moon with that win. I knew
:53:21. > :53:24.I was in shape, but then you see the conditions and you don't know how
:53:25. > :53:29.your body is going to react. And it was so cold! Freezing. What were
:53:30. > :53:37.conditions like underfoot? Really muddy. There's little streams and
:53:38. > :53:42.dips, when I was with the girls to start with they had a gap on me. I
:53:43. > :53:45.was really cautious of them, but I managed to pull away and it didn't
:53:46. > :53:52.seem to affect me too much. Was it always the plan to go with two laps
:53:53. > :53:58.to go at halfway? Brendan an Steve questioned it, a bit too early, but
:53:59. > :54:02.you sustained it. I didn't really have a plan: You can't predict what
:54:03. > :54:06.the other girls are going to do. I knew I would push on. I knew that
:54:07. > :54:11.Fionnuala, well, I thought she would push on, obviously I didn't know. I
:54:12. > :54:16.thought hopefully she'll do that and I will be able to keep that pace
:54:17. > :54:21.going. I managed to do that. The guys mentioned in commentary, you
:54:22. > :54:25.lost your dad recently. How much has running been a refuge for you? It
:54:26. > :54:31.was one of his favourite things as well. He was my biggest supporter,
:54:32. > :54:35.still. In I'm sure he was pushing me round out there, that's why I ran so
:54:36. > :54:40.well. But no, I'm really pleased that I do have the running, because
:54:41. > :54:43.you can get out there and you just switch off. It is like you're not
:54:44. > :54:49.even there. A brilliant performance. The rest of the year, what does it
:54:50. > :54:53.hold? I'm not sure in the next few months what races I'm going to be
:54:54. > :54:58.doing, but obviously everything is aiming towards Rio, my main aim this
:54:59. > :55:02.year. Congratulations, a brilliant performance and you won in some
:55:03. > :55:08.style. Thank you. Thank you very much. Now to a round-up of the
:55:09. > :55:43.results. It will mean all change in the team
:55:44. > :55:55.race, as Europe have a slender four-point lead over frontbench as
:55:56. > :56:05.we head into the senior men's. Next up is Mo in the mud, but now more of
:56:06. > :56:11.that interview I did with him, and about Alberto Salazar. 2015, your
:56:12. > :56:17.most difficult year? Would you say with what happened with Alberto? Off
:56:18. > :56:22.the track, definitely it was hard. Only only capable With what I can
:56:23. > :56:26.do. A lot of stuff, I was in no control one of what's happening.
:56:27. > :56:31.You've satisfied yourself that everything is OK, but he is still
:56:32. > :56:35.the subject of a USA Anti-Doping Agency inquiry. Do you have a plan
:56:36. > :56:40.what you might do if they were to find something worrying about
:56:41. > :56:44.Alberto's methods? Definitely did, I've always said along, if anything
:56:45. > :56:49.is proven, if anything is wrong, or crossed the line, I don't want to
:56:50. > :56:53.associate. I know what I've put my body through, you know. I don't want
:56:54. > :56:56.to have my name dragged through the mud, which was in 2015. Do you trust
:56:57. > :57:00.the International Association of Athletics Federations to trust your
:57:01. > :57:04.reputation? I trust myself. I don't know if I trust anyone else. That's
:57:05. > :57:08.an interesting question, because do you think there's something that
:57:09. > :57:12.athletes can do that you can do to say, here I am and I'm clean, in
:57:13. > :57:19.terms of proof? Is that something you have given any thought to? It is
:57:20. > :57:24.something I've done for my own reasons, getting my blood database
:57:25. > :57:27.out. I've not nothing to hide. A number of countries aren't doing the
:57:28. > :57:31.right thing. If I'm racing against these athletes, I want to be equal.
:57:32. > :57:38.The good thing for you is you've won anyway. A lot of athletes, perhaps
:57:39. > :57:45.thinking of Jenny Meadows and Jo Pavey... I know I've missed that
:57:46. > :57:52.medal. I'm racing against a guy tomorrow I lost a medal to. Axe I
:57:53. > :58:00.going to bring that medal back? No. Is that... Yes. There are certain
:58:01. > :58:05.things you have to block out and you have to do what's right. I'm doing
:58:06. > :58:07.what's right, but yet it comes with this, so let me do what I do. Let me
:58:08. > :58:27.run. That's what I'm good at. Time now for Mo Farah's legs to do
:58:28. > :58:33.the talking. We are just about ready to go. Mo will lead this British
:58:34. > :58:37.team. He is red hot favourite to win the race against the United States
:58:38. > :58:41.and Europe. Garrett Heath perhaps the biggest threat from the USA. We
:58:42. > :58:46.did have a short race the last couple of years over 4 K. He beat
:58:47. > :58:51.some big names to win that. He is going over a longer distance today,
:58:52. > :58:54.8 kilometres, taking on Mo Farah. But he did win the American
:58:55. > :58:58.championships recently and says he is looking forward to the challenge.
:58:59. > :59:11.He is from Minnesota, where the weather is always like this,
:59:12. > :59:15.apparently. Carlos Mayo, there, and Bezabeh mentioned, and Lamdassem.
:59:16. > :59:28.CHEERING. A big cheer for Mo. A hand-shake at the beginning. Let the
:59:29. > :59:33.festivities begin. So 8 kilometres, two short laps, four long laps
:59:34. > :59:37.making up the distance. The British team behind Mo Farah, Ross
:59:38. > :59:39.Millington fresh from a good performance in Italy. He and Tom
:59:40. > :59:45.Lancashire were the two British athletes first home at the European
:59:46. > :59:51.cross. Tom beat his training partner Ross Millington on that occasion.
:59:52. > :59:58.Grit its, Davies, Swinburn and Taylor the North East athletes.
:59:59. > :00:09.Richard Goodman, Calum Hawkins, Scotland are well represented in all
:00:10. > :00:13.the teams today. I would expect this to be a pretty good team race.
:00:14. > :00:19.Europe may get the upper hand. We'll see. Before we talk about the race,
:00:20. > :00:24.Brendan, let's pick up on one or two things that Mo Farah said there.
:00:25. > :00:26.When we've reached a point where the athletes don't trust their
:00:27. > :00:29.federation, the International Association of Athletics
:00:30. > :00:32.Federations, you kind of wonder how do you rebuild that trust, where do
:00:33. > :00:42.we go from here? It has been a terrible time for
:00:43. > :00:46.athletics. The revelations have been shocking, even to those who are
:00:47. > :00:50.cynical. But the sport is in a position now, with a new leader, Seb
:00:51. > :00:55.Coe, who knows exactly the job he has to do, ie as to rebuild the
:00:56. > :00:59.trust. If you lose the trust of the athletes, you have lost the trust of
:01:00. > :01:03.everyone. These athletes want to believe in their sport. They love
:01:04. > :01:12.it. Like Mo Farah says, allow me to do what I do best, which is running,
:01:13. > :01:18.and let the organisers act as policemen. Instead of being
:01:19. > :01:21.visionaries, they have to go back to policing the sport. Then they can do
:01:22. > :01:28.these expansive things, but they have to do that first. Please, is
:01:29. > :01:34.the request from the athletes, take hold of this sport and sort it out.
:01:35. > :01:40.It is your last chance. It is great, what most third. We love Mo, we have
:01:41. > :01:45.watched him run well. And athlete has deprived him of a medal in the
:01:46. > :01:50.past by taking drugs and he is back in the race now. Maybe that needs to
:01:51. > :01:54.be considered. But at the end of the day, this is a sport which a lot of
:01:55. > :01:59.people love and spend their lives doing. Now it is up to Seb Coe and
:02:00. > :02:05.the Federation. Please, restore the trust in our sport. Button but it is
:02:06. > :02:09.wider than that. Athletics has massive problems, as you have
:02:10. > :02:18.pointed out. Jo alluded at the beginning of the show to drugs just
:02:19. > :02:26.being one of the issues. But it is central to what we all do. Seb has
:02:27. > :02:31.already announced increased funding, and the public, all of us who love
:02:32. > :02:37.athletics, we have to find ways to support that programme. Jo, it was
:02:38. > :02:41.nice of you to say you would give up some of your own income. I am not
:02:42. > :02:46.sure athletes should be the ones to do that, but somehow we have to find
:02:47. > :02:50.the funding to create a system we can all believe in so that when we
:02:51. > :02:59.are watching top-level athletics, we know what we are watching. At this
:03:00. > :03:06.stage, we need to maybe take responsibility away from governing
:03:07. > :03:09.bodies like the IAAF. We need our sport to be in the circumstances
:03:10. > :03:13.where it can police its own anti-doping. We need something
:03:14. > :03:17.independent where there is nowhere for athletes to hide and everyone is
:03:18. > :03:23.put through the same stringent anti-doping procedures. At the
:03:24. > :03:31.moment, with all the corruption, while losing confidence that there
:03:32. > :03:36.is clean athletics. But at the start of 2016, we have a man with a big
:03:37. > :03:39.reputation. You delivered the Olympic Games in 280 12. He has
:03:40. > :03:46.said, I am going to restore confidence in this sport. Now we
:03:47. > :03:56.have to say, Seb, we will give you support, go and do it. He has to do
:03:57. > :04:02.it. If he doesn't, who else will? I think he would admit himself, when
:04:03. > :04:04.someone in a senior position in an organisation was unfortunately
:04:05. > :04:12.unaware of certain things going on, it does obviously leaves questions.
:04:13. > :04:16.But hopefully, he has the passion. He has presented his road map for
:04:17. > :04:23.change, and hopefully he can work on that and build trust back over time,
:04:24. > :04:29.not only from the athletes, but the youngsters coming through in the
:04:30. > :04:37.sport. Well, looking at Mo Farah's road map, he is right at the back.
:04:38. > :04:43.He is going to have to pass a lot of athletes to move through this field.
:04:44. > :04:47.There he is at the back, in an unfamiliar position and an
:04:48. > :04:52.unfamiliar hat. Let's hope Mo Farah now turns his mind to the task in
:04:53. > :04:56.hand. He wants to show them how good he is on the country and on the
:04:57. > :05:02.roads and on the track. We know how good he is on the track and on the
:05:03. > :05:07.roads over longer distances. Now he is looking at the rest of the
:05:08. > :05:12.British team. The Scottish leader, Callum Hawkins, is running well.
:05:13. > :05:17.They are looking over their shoulders. He is not in sight, so
:05:18. > :05:23.they are thinking, where is he? They know that Mo will drift to the front
:05:24. > :05:27.as they complete the second lap. Callum Hawkins is trying to
:05:28. > :05:39.rediscover some good form. Dewi Griffiths is alongside him. There is
:05:40. > :05:42.that great race which is held around New Year's Eve. He set a course
:05:43. > :05:54.record, which shows the sort of form he is in. He is our leader as they
:05:55. > :06:07.complete the second lap. He has been missed off the list. Mo Farah is
:06:08. > :06:12.just drifting through the field, getting a bit closer to the fun as
:06:13. > :06:17.they head out on the first of the four longer maps of -- longer maps
:06:18. > :06:33.of 1500 metres. A little look behind from Cal. They
:06:34. > :06:40.are starting to bunch up a bit behind. It is great that Mo is here.
:06:41. > :06:47.It is a good way for him to start the year. We expect this to be a
:06:48. > :06:51.confidence building win for him. If he did not win today, I think he
:06:52. > :06:55.would be disappointed. But it is a long year, and when you have all of
:06:56. > :07:01.the expectation that will be heaped on his shoulders over the next few
:07:02. > :07:06.months, you have to be careful about where you make your effort. He knows
:07:07. > :07:11.that better than anybody. So although this is an important race
:07:12. > :07:14.for him, he is heading off on here for the most important bit of the
:07:15. > :07:22.year. He will spend five or six weeks in Ethiopia for big training
:07:23. > :07:28.at altitude, which should set himself up for a great summer. He
:07:29. > :07:31.likes to do bunches of training and he likes to come out of that
:07:32. > :07:33.training, relax for a couple of days and then run a race. Now he is
:07:34. > :08:00.moving into sixth place. Mo is in contention. Callum Hawkins
:08:01. > :08:01.is leading strongly. Mo Farah is at the back of the group of British
:08:02. > :08:21.athletes. Victory over Mo Farah these days is
:08:22. > :08:27.a very rare thing. Gareth is certainly going to give it a go.
:08:28. > :08:32.Winning the four K course for two years, he has taken some notable
:08:33. > :08:38.scalps, such as Kenenisa Bekele. Maybe he thinks he has a chance. Mo
:08:39. > :08:43.is such a high calibre athlete, but it is interesting to see athletes
:08:44. > :08:53.like Garrett Heath who are so suited to this country -- cross-country. It
:08:54. > :08:57.is an interesting argument. There was a discussion around who was the
:08:58. > :09:01.last British athlete to beat Mo Farah. Technically, in the short
:09:02. > :09:15.race, Ricky Stephenson won here in 2010. But Steve Burdon is claiming.
:09:16. > :09:24.-- Steve Vernon. But what is the answer to that question? Does Ricky
:09:25. > :09:28.Stevenson take that because he won? It is all about semantics and
:09:29. > :09:39.language. You make life too complicated. I know, it is my job.
:09:40. > :09:55.Callum Hawkins is leading. They are stretched out a bit now. Europe are
:09:56. > :09:59.not going well at all at the moment. They are the sort of athletes that
:10:00. > :10:05.do sit off the pace anyway, but you would have expected them to be a bit
:10:06. > :10:08.closer here. Were you any good at jumping over streams, Jo? No. You
:10:09. > :10:13.would have a laugh if you had to watch me running today. I am not
:10:14. > :10:16.good at this sort of thing. I don't try and hide that. I enjoy the
:10:17. > :10:21.cross-country and the team atmosphere and the getting muddy. It
:10:22. > :10:25.is fun, but I am not good at it. I seem to sink into the mud when
:10:26. > :10:30.everyone else can float over it. But I enjoyed having a go. Were you any
:10:31. > :10:39.good at it? Depending on how big the puddle was... Not too bad. So, at
:10:40. > :10:42.the end of the first of the long lapse, 11 minutes into the race, the
:10:43. > :10:48.first time Mo Farah has shown himself at the front of the race,
:10:49. > :11:05.surrounded by British and Northern Ireland bests. Ross is in great
:11:06. > :11:10.shape. He ran a great race in Italy. Ross would have been given a lot of
:11:11. > :11:15.confidence from that. Garrett Heath is tucked in there. So it is when Mo
:11:16. > :11:19.Farah will decide to get his 2016 off to a good start. A lot to look
:11:20. > :11:24.forward to him, and for you if you are a fan of athletics. We have the
:11:25. > :12:21.indoor Grand Prix back here in Scotland, in Glasgow on February 20.
:12:22. > :12:27.By the time we get to the anniversary games in London, we will
:12:28. > :12:31.know everybody who is going to Rio and that will be their last chance
:12:32. > :12:33.before the biggest test of all at the Olympics in Rio in the middle of
:12:34. > :13:03.August. I am tired reading all of this!
:13:04. > :13:09.Never mind running it. A long year. So it is all a concertina at the
:13:10. > :13:14.top. The Americans are now much closer. The phalanx of British
:13:15. > :13:18.athletes controlling things have been broken up a bit by the
:13:19. > :13:22.Americans. And Europe have yet to figure am nowhere to be seen at the
:13:23. > :13:26.moment. So this is beginning to turn into a team battle between the USA
:13:27. > :13:33.and Great Britain. Mo Farah is still content to just sit in the pack. As
:13:34. > :13:39.he moved closer to the front, the American contingent, almost on
:13:40. > :13:42.signal, joined him. The British athletes are being led by Callum
:13:43. > :13:45.Hawkins, who set a record when he ran in the Great Scottish run last
:13:46. > :13:52.year and then set the qualifying time for the Olympic Games in the
:13:53. > :13:56.marathon. So his strength is not in question. His stamina is there.
:13:57. > :14:02.Garrett Heath won the short race this year and he is in second place.
:14:03. > :14:04.Mo Farah, on a journey towards the Olympic Games, a journey which
:14:05. > :14:13.hopefully will add more medals to his burgeoning collection. He is
:14:14. > :14:21.going a bit faster and the race is starting to get serious. They have
:14:22. > :14:27.14 minutes of running behind them. Very strong performance at the front
:14:28. > :14:34.by Callum Hawkins. Then Garrett Heath, then Mo Farah. What is your
:14:35. > :14:39.assessment so far, Jo? Mode looks a little tired. I am a bit supposed to
:14:40. > :14:44.see that. I wonder how relaxed he is -- Mo Farah looks a little tired.
:14:45. > :14:45.Still a long way to go, but just watching him, I wonder how
:14:46. > :14:57.comfortable he is. He did grimace a bit then. He hasn't
:14:58. > :15:01.done much cross-country. The conditions are tough for an athlete
:15:02. > :15:07.like Mo, who is so brilliant on the tack. He is going to see where he's
:15:08. > :15:11.at. It is a long time to go to the trials and the Olympics themselves
:15:12. > :15:19.But it is hard to know how he is feeling. He doesn't look as relaxed
:15:20. > :15:23.as he sometimes would at this stage. They've still got two laps to go,
:15:24. > :15:28.3,000 metres of running. Mo Farah check hog is still there. The one
:15:29. > :15:32.who looks comfortable, Garrett Heath and Ross Millington. Looking very
:15:33. > :15:38.relaxed at this point. The American who won it the last two years isn't
:15:39. > :15:45.here, Chris Derek. He is turning his attention to try to make the
:15:46. > :15:50.American marathon team. The trials are in February, March, but Garrett
:15:51. > :15:53.Heath looks comfortable. Mo Farah looking a little more relaxed on
:15:54. > :15:58.this section than a minute or two ago. Maybe that rough section, he
:15:59. > :16:03.was picking his line carefully. Hawkins has been leading this. This
:16:04. > :16:08.is the point, Bren, there's too much respect and you look at Ross
:16:09. > :16:11.Millington and Garrett Heath. But it is Calum Hawkins leading, not Mo
:16:12. > :16:17.Farah, but they are all waiting for Mo. If someone wants to have a go,
:16:18. > :16:23.this is where you would try to attack, it is pointless leaving it
:16:24. > :16:27.to the last kilometre. He said to me this morning, I'm in good shape, but
:16:28. > :16:32.I don't feel I run as well on the soft mud as I used. As
:16:33. > :16:37.I don't feel I run as well on the soft mud as I used. -- as I used to
:16:38. > :16:41.do. He ran round here the other day and it is not that comfortable. But
:16:42. > :16:45.I want to win this race. It is not an important race in terms of the
:16:46. > :16:50.bigger picture but it is an important way to start an Olympic
:16:51. > :16:59.year, 2016. He started the year, 2011, by winning this race. He beat
:17:00. > :17:02.his training partner, just before he won the world medals in the
:17:03. > :17:09.championships and the Olympic Games. Had at the used to running well
:17:10. > :17:13.here. He is starting to get serious. This race is starting to dig, as
:17:14. > :17:17.Calum Hawkins leads and stretches. Mo Farah is in third place. That's
:17:18. > :17:21.as close as he has been. Glancing over his shoulder to see who is
:17:22. > :17:25.around him. He knows all the athletes. The British team are
:17:26. > :17:29.enjoying having Mo in their team and are responding in this race. It
:17:30. > :17:33.seems to be between Great Britain and the USA. Calum Hawkins getting
:17:34. > :17:38.good support. Mo Farah in third place. Can he start the Olympic year
:17:39. > :17:42.with the kind of performance we wanted to see in him in Rio de
:17:43. > :17:50.Janeiro when he goes there to defend his title? Garrett Heath a threat.
:17:51. > :17:54.Ross Millington a threat. Scott is a threat as well. Nick Swinburn having
:17:55. > :17:57.a great race for Great Britain, right up there with Calum Hawkins,
:17:58. > :18:02.who has led this. The Mo Farah having to work as hard as anybody
:18:03. > :18:06.else to stay in contention. But the longer this race goes on, where he
:18:07. > :18:11.is still in contention, the close her it comes into his domain. Andrew
:18:12. > :18:14.Butchart losing ground there. Dewi Griffiths trying to hang on to that
:18:15. > :18:21.front group. Starting to whittle down a little bit. You can feel the
:18:22. > :18:25.temperature is being turned up here. The pressure is being applied. Calum
:18:26. > :18:30.Hawkins is doing his Beth from the front but Garrett Heath is looking
:18:31. > :18:34.to be a bit of a threat. Maybe Mo isn't looking quite as comfortable.
:18:35. > :18:38.All he needs to do is keep working across this tough text of the
:18:39. > :18:43.course. If anyone does make a move, see whether he can cover it. It is
:18:44. > :18:48.good to see Calum Hawkins really giving it a good, pushing the pace.
:18:49. > :18:52.He is only 23 years old. He is having a good run. Garrett Heath
:18:53. > :18:57.looks relaxed. It's been interesting to see how over double the distance
:18:58. > :19:01.of what he has won the last two years. They know they are going to
:19:02. > :19:05.have to run away. There you see Mo taking the lead and they are going
:19:06. > :19:10.to have to try and go with him. Hopefully Mo can make a move and
:19:11. > :19:22.find the extra summer towards the end of the race. In 400 metres they
:19:23. > :19:25.head into the last lap. Ross Millington checking behind. Garrett
:19:26. > :19:29.Heath and Millington have always looked comfortable. They've allowed
:19:30. > :19:33.Mo to stay there, and now Mo is thinking right, it is moving into my
:19:34. > :19:38.bit. I've got less than 2,000 metres to go. That's less than five laps on
:19:39. > :19:42.the track. He knows when he goats the finish line, 1,500 metres and
:19:43. > :19:46.nobody in the world, even on the country, even with a bit of mud,
:19:47. > :19:51.would bet against Mo Farah not coming through on top. He has a
:19:52. > :19:55.little look behind there. The took that water jump nicely. They drop
:19:56. > :20:00.down the hill here. If anyone does try to get ahead of him you would
:20:01. > :20:03.want 30 metres ahead coming half that last turn before you head into
:20:04. > :20:08.the finish line. You would want to be a long way ahead of Mo Farah.
:20:09. > :20:15.Garrett Heath a good finisher. Ross Millington running whole well, but
:20:16. > :20:25.Mo is on a journey now. There were only five Olympic athletes in
:20:26. > :20:29.history who had five gold medals and went on to win another. Not one of
:20:30. > :20:33.those great athletes were able to add a gold medal to the two they've
:20:34. > :20:38.already collected. Mo Farah started the year with two gold medals in his
:20:39. > :20:44.locker from the Olympic Games. Trying to make himself unique in
:20:45. > :20:48.history of British athletics. Here he is in Edinburgh making hard work
:20:49. > :20:54.of trying to win his opening race of the year. Garrett Heath has won here
:20:55. > :20:58.a couple of times before. He has a strong finish, but Mo Farah is used
:20:59. > :21:01.to winning races. Garrett Heath has won races. The difference is Mo
:21:02. > :21:06.thinks he is going to win today. Even though the conditions aren't to
:21:07. > :21:10.his liking. He is now thinking, these athletes, are they going to
:21:11. > :21:14.try to beat me or give me the opportunity to try and seize this.
:21:15. > :21:18.This is the last lap. Mo Farah running reasonably strongly. Looking
:21:19. > :21:22.comfortable. Just been aware of what's happening. Account he win
:21:23. > :21:27.from here and authority journey which would make him unique in
:21:28. > :21:31.British athletics. Can he start the year with a victory and add to those
:21:32. > :21:37.two fabulous gold medals by winning a third? You can tell that he is
:21:38. > :21:41.biding his time. Not only has Calum Hawkins gone back to the front, as
:21:42. > :21:46.the pace slackened as Mo started to think, I'm going to gather myself
:21:47. > :21:51.for a sprint finish. Formal has got back into this. Ross Millington in
:21:52. > :21:59.the middle. A glance behind, checks who is there, Scott Faubl trying
:22:00. > :22:03.stay part of this group. But Mo is waiting to turn on the burners at
:22:04. > :22:09.the end. That will do for me. But Garrett Heath will be a danger. Jo,
:22:10. > :22:13.when you get to this part of the race, you start to think about the
:22:14. > :22:18.sprint finish. That's why Calum Hawkins didn't want the pace to
:22:19. > :22:21.drop, trying to get them moving, and Ross Millington doing the same now.
:22:22. > :22:26.Definitely. The thing about Mo, not only is he an amazing athlete, he is
:22:27. > :22:31.an astute tactician as well. Over the years he has become amazing at
:22:32. > :22:35.getting his tactics right. You can see the level of concentration on
:22:36. > :22:40.his face, which you don't see in many athletes. Mo has that
:22:41. > :22:45.concentration. Had eis thinking about his move at all times,
:22:46. > :22:50.gathering himself for a sprint finish. Scott Faubl around the
:22:51. > :22:55.outside now. This isn't enough, guys, come on, we've got to stretch
:22:56. > :22:59.this out. He is making a bid to get himself into the top three. There's
:23:00. > :23:03.prize money at stake. One and two, Garrett Heath responds to his
:23:04. > :23:10.team-mate. They've got 600 metres of running to go through one or two of
:23:11. > :23:15.the more muddy sections is. Calum Hawkins starting to struggle a
:23:16. > :23:19.little as the pace picks up. Heath making a bid here. I suggest he
:23:20. > :23:23.needs a big lead over Farah. Certainly 15-20 metres before they
:23:24. > :23:28.come off that last corner. Corner. Mo is having to work hard here. He
:23:29. > :23:31.is. He is under pressure, but he is now in pole position. He has the
:23:32. > :23:37.vision of Garrett Heath in his sight. He knows how quick this guy
:23:38. > :23:43.is, he has beaten Olympic champions to win this race over shorter
:23:44. > :23:45.distances. Now it is down to two. Garrett Heath is striking from 450
:23:46. > :23:50.metres to try and win this one. He is working hard. Mo is coming close.
:23:51. > :23:56.They've climbed a little, and there it is, 400 metres to go. Can Mo
:23:57. > :24:00.Farah start an Olympic year with a victory? Or is the American who came
:24:01. > :24:06.here with one intent, to try to stake the scalp of the great Mo
:24:07. > :24:08.Farah, has he done enough? It is decent running conditions. The great
:24:09. > :24:12.Mo Farah sprint finish. We've seen it on the track. We've seen it on
:24:13. > :24:17.the roads. Are we going to witness it again on the country? Mo Farah in
:24:18. > :24:22.second place but he wants to win it. Farah is being tested by Garrett
:24:23. > :24:27.Heath to the very end. One last climb, a jump across the stream,
:24:28. > :24:32.through the woodchip, th the wet ground and a downhill sprint of 170
:24:33. > :24:36.metres to the finish. Mo Farah loses another two yards and the sprint is
:24:37. > :24:38.on. Garrett Heath has thrown the gauntlet down to Mo Farah. Can Farah
:24:39. > :24:42.respond. CHEERING. The crowd are doing their
:24:43. > :24:45.best, but Mo Farah is struck trolling catch the American. This
:24:46. > :24:51.will be a massive victory for Garrett Heath. He has won the short
:24:52. > :24:56.course on two occasions. He is taking on Mo Farah and he is going
:24:57. > :25:00.to beat Mo Farah. Garrett Heath of the USA the surprise winner. Mo
:25:01. > :25:05.Farah having to settle for second place. Place. We haven't said that
:25:06. > :25:10.for a long time. Farah beaten in the sprint finish. Perhaps the course as
:25:11. > :25:16.much as anything else beating him as well. Faubl took third. Calum
:25:17. > :25:20.Hawkins and Ross Millington stuck to their task. But Garrett Heath looked
:25:21. > :25:27.comfortable the whole way. When Farah looked like he was struggling,
:25:28. > :25:32.you sensed he didn't take control of the race, decided to leave it to the
:25:33. > :25:40.last lap, but Heath was strong enough and quick enough to turn that
:25:41. > :25:46.lead into a winning margin. Brendan was saying he wanted Mo Farah to
:25:47. > :25:50.start his year with a victory and set himself nicely. He hasn't been
:25:51. > :25:55.able to do that here in Edinburgh. I still think he would be reasonably
:25:56. > :26:00.happy with the shape she in. But nobody, certainly not Mo Farah these
:26:01. > :26:28.days, will enjoy being beaten, particularly on British soil.
:26:29. > :26:36.Mo Farah, what a great race. Not the result that you were or we were
:26:37. > :26:39.expecting. Not at all. You don't want to lose a race, but it is
:26:40. > :26:45.better to lose now than later in the year. It is a cross-country race.
:26:46. > :26:50.Heath is a great athlete. He always comes out every year and gets ready
:26:51. > :26:54.for this race. In terms of the conditions, did they work defence
:26:55. > :27:00.you? You've got a lot of speed in your legs but you can't sprint on
:27:01. > :27:05.this. I can't sprint... It is sliply, very hard. You will be
:27:06. > :27:10.looking forward to getting on the plane and getting some sun in
:27:11. > :27:15.Ethiopia? Yes, I'm getting ready for Glasgow Indoors. Mo, thank you. Get
:27:16. > :27:21.warm. Back to Steve Cram for the final result. The headlines will be
:27:22. > :27:25.about Mo Farah, of course, being beaten by Garrett Heath. But I'm
:27:26. > :27:29.sure come the summer the headlines will be forgotten. At least we hope
:27:30. > :27:33.they are. In terms of the team competition. These are the final
:27:34. > :27:36.standings adding all four races together. Great Britain coming out
:27:37. > :27:40.on top. Europe with a poor performance in the senior men's
:27:41. > :27:45.race. Garrett Heath finishing on a high for the United States, although
:27:46. > :27:49.their team were never really in the team competition with 232 points.
:27:50. > :27:53.Alongside me is the winner. Garrett, this is getting to be a regular
:27:54. > :27:58.occurrence, me speaking to you after you've won a race. A great scalp
:27:59. > :28:05.with Mo Farah there. Thank you. It takes winning a race to get up here
:28:06. > :28:11.and talk to you! I didn't expect it. Mo's such a great runner. I wanted
:28:12. > :28:17.to be out there and try to run with him and compete. Some of my
:28:18. > :28:22.team-mates came up to me with 800 to go. He was feeling good. I got
:28:23. > :28:28.excited and kept waiting for Mo to kick past me. I'm sure I could hear
:28:29. > :28:31.people shouting at him so yeah... Garrett, congratulations.
:28:32. > :28:36.Disappointment from a British perspective that you beat Mo Farah,
:28:37. > :28:42.but well done. That's it from Edinburgh. We're back again with
:28:43. > :28:45.athletics from Glasgow on Glasgow 20th. It's the darts next. From us
:28:46. > :29:30.here in Edinburgh, it's goodbye. MUSIC: (They Long To Be) Close To You
