Day 10 BBC Two: 12.50-13.45 Olympics

Gatlin gets it away well. It is Gatlin leading at the moment,

and Gatlin is charging. But Usain Bolt is going to take it. Bowled

gets there! Good afternoon. I know that carnival

time here in Rio takes some beating, but that was one wild weekend at the

Olympic Games. Usain Bolt strikes again. Van Niekerk nips Michael

Jonzon's one lap record. It was Great Britain's best ever single

awayday at the Olympic Games. And if you watched it all all night and all

day, I'm sure you while thanking the makers of strong coffee today, I

know that I am. It wasn't just about metal hardware. The significance of

what we were seeing really took your breath away at times. Mo Farah, our

first three-time Olympic champion on the track. Laura Trott, the first

British woman ever to win three golds. Max Whitlock, we have waited

120 years for a gymnastics gold, and he got two in an hour and a half.

Justin Rose, golf's first Olympic champion in over a sentry. Andy

Murray, the only player male or female to win two singles titles at

the games. And Jason Kenny is just a machine. One shy of Sir Chris Hoy's

all-time title of six gold-medal is. Britain sits second on the medal

table, above China. They are now just ten short of their ambition of

48 medals. That was their target. These are happy and heady days

indeed. And Laura Trott isn't stopping any time soon. She sets out

today to defend her title as the female track cyclist in the

Velodrome. Mark Cavendish completes the six event journey in the men's,

the first Olympic medal of any colour. No British woman has made

the 200m final for 12 years. Mike Dina Asher-Smith break the mould?

That's coming soon. I'm from power the decision, Charlotte Dujardin and

Valegro are aiming for a third Olympic title, this time in the

individual dressage, she is defending that idol. And we have on

our agenda is the next six hours or so some swimming, it is the marathon

ten K. Britain's Keri-Anne Payne goes very shortly. We will be

spending some time at the athletics track, also at the Velodrome. Mark

Cavendish Laura Trott from 1015. Charlotte Dujardin defending her

individual dressage title. Brazil stopped to watch the Lord of the

Rings, Arthur Zanetti, in the gymnastics. The dancing horses are

underway in the dressage at two B. Carl Hester joining Dujardin. -- at

2pm. Simone Biles going for her fourth gold on the beam and bar. Two

superb track finals tonight. The men's 800 metres and the women's

400. Allyson Felix going for a record fifth Olympic title in that.

Now, some would argue that the 26 swimmers who are about to line up in

the marathon swim ten K today actually deserve a medal before they

even diving. There has been a lot of talk in the build-up, rightly, about

the quality of water here in Brazil out in the bay, and the super

resistant bacteria that live there. But, Keri-Anne Payne of Great

Britain is going to brave those waters. This is the woman who won

silver in Beijing in this marathon swimming event. A heartbreaking

fourth place in her home games, and that really has fuelled the fire for

games number three for Keri-Anne. I've always said that open water is

about the best person making the right decisions at the right time.

Keri-Anne Payne in the 15. The top 25 swimmers in the world are here

today. A good start. Keri-Anne Payne of Great Britain has a very, very

clear tactic indeed. Get out of the front, hold it up front, try and

build the pace the pressure to take the race to the rest of them. I was

probably just working a little bit too hard to how I would normally

take the pace of the race. Come on, carry on, you're still in full

position. I had to get back into a good position. The gold has got away

from her, she is now fighting for bronze. The Silver has gone to the

USA. Oh, goodness me, the bronze has gone, too. Keri-Anne is in fourth

position. After nearly two hours of swimming, so close.

Yes, it really was heartbreaking for her four years ago and she is about

to spend another two hours or so in the water again just off the coast

here, along the beach in the Copacabana. Matt is baying on dry

land for us. It is always a really gruelling event, this one. I know

there is going to be a little change of plan as to how they are actually

going to start the race this time? Absolutely. You might have seen on

social media pictures of the starting point to that was planned

for this open water swim. That blew away in high winds a few days ago.

It blew up on the stand like a sort of piece of harbour from the D-Day

landings years ago. So that one has been taken out. And they have

floated in a barge to be the start pontoon, which isn't the most

pleasing to the eye but it will get the job done. It will. What is the

official line about water quality, I'm generally, are their fears about

spending that amount of time in the Bay? I think it has always been a

background concern for the water quality here in Rio. Wherever you've

completed, the Lagoa rowing canoe, that has been one talking points

you've completed. Sailing is a huge one as well. Anywhere in this water

I think is a talking point. I won't go stronger than that. The current

here tends to push all the water from south to north. So all the

problem areas in sailing, which is round the headlines to ask slightly

to the north, this is fresher and better quality than the worst-case

scenario in Rio -- around the head lamp. Let's be honest, open water

swimming in London, we put them into the Serpentine in Hyde Park, which

isn't exactly drinking water. These swimmers are made of tough stuff. In

terms of conditions, couple of days ago we had a really big swell on the

Atlantic and huge waves crashing in. But it is virtually ignored upon

today by comparison. How does that suit Keri-Anne Payne's chances

today? -- virtually a millpond. I think she would have wanted more

swell. As you say, it is very much flat calm. I was about to use the

word Pacific but that would be very confusing, it is still the Atlantic

but it is basically very calm today. I think Keri-Anne would have

preferred a bit more swell, chop and current than there is to mix it up.

I think she is hard, she is ready for any sort of challenge in open

water, we've seen that time and time again from her. She will want as

hard as possible conditions to mix it up. We shall see, Matt. Thank you

very much. It can get pretty rough, and we're not talking about the size

of the swell. It is as much of a dogfight in the water that. Anything

goes, it would appear. This is the start, always worth seeing. Adrian

Moorhouse and Andy Jamieson on parade today and ready for two hours

of commentary. Good morning. Good morning, we are looking forward to

this. We are laughing because we've actually got two fantastic

Portakabins right between us in our commentary position on the finish.

So our view is definitely going to be the same view as you this

morning! There is Keri-Anne Payne in the Red Hat. The 10,000 metres. It

is 21 degrees, actually quite warm. They have been using a rudimentary

measure of temperature. It is in between 20 and 21. Keri-Anne is in

the red. I don't know if you pick that up, Hazel, but the pontoon was

washed away a couple of nights ago. It normally would get boats out of

the pontoon and start from the pontoon. But they are having to walk

in. They haven't started yet. This is a casual, gradual walk into the

surf. And there is a couple of white buoys that will be lining him

behind. It is not that different to a triathlon first race -- whining in

behind. They start behind the white buoys. The swimmers swim out of the

start line. It was meant to be a start from the pontoon, everybody

diving, like it was in the lake in Beijing and also of course in the

Serpentine for Mike years ago in London. They will go out -- four

years ago in London. It looks like there is a nice current that. They

have a stretch of about 350 metres to the first buoy. What a

beautiful... Look at that. The swimmers warmed up. They only got

out about half an hour or so ago. They are making their way out of the

start. The other challenge now, the pontoon was brashly made so that it

was quite low to the water. The servers of the pontoon was quite low

to the waters of Bashley made. There is a feeding station, -- specially

made. All of the coaches route on the barge. One of the challengers,

the barge is about two metres above the surface of the sea. So somehow

the coaches are going to have to make sure that they can get the

right fluids and food to their swimmers from two metres apart. They

are about to do ten kilometre racing, this is the warm up, the

little swim to the start. The moment, all going in a pack that.

The Czech swimmer, Jana Pechanova. They are going to go between the

white buoy on the right, you can see the white buoy with the canoe shaped

at the bottom of it. They are heading to that. The first trick in

swimming is to find where you've got to go, it's quite useful to find the

start! But citing is a big deal for these guys, making sure that they

aim for the right buoy. And go on the outside of it. They are salad is

a exciting second in between. But the ones they have to go round --

they are citing buoys in between. They have to go around the canoe

shaped ones. They are the ones that they do have to go around, there are

four of those. This is the start. The swimmers are just trying to make

sure that they or in-line. They are actually getting washed out, which

is quite interesting. We are trying to track the currents. The British

team have been working with the sailing team to try and track the

currents to work out which way they are going. They may get a decent

lack there. It is all getting moved through the start into the course.

They are going to have to come back. The helicopter is right over our

heads right now. If we can just reach up! Move it to the side, there

we go! So, the start of 10,000 metres open water. And I guess

that's it! Well, the red flag went out but the hooter went and the

swimmers went in a bit of LA to start with. They've got to get in

the right line. -- a of a melee. They have to spot the first turning

point. They have to go about 350 metres is likely to their right from

that starting line. And then they'll do a sharp left swing across, about

750 metres towards Sugarloaf Mountain. And then they'll take a

hard left, 350 metres towards the beach, and swim about 1000 metres

along the beach. Adrian, pretty much staying in a pack at the moment.

Some swimmers will not want to be right in the middle. They have a bit

of a melee in the centre. It is fairly comfortable at the moment,

just getting their right alignment and swimming into the waves.

Absolutely, Andy. And when we had the angle shot, I'm sure it will

come back at some point, you can tell where the current has come off

headlined, the full headline. The current is going at the swimmers

right now. It is swimming around. They will be citing, as Andy said, I

think we're going to use the word melee quite a lot, we will have to

find a different word for that! It is a scramble in bubble. They are

trying to stay together as a pack. The only thing you can do is follow

the rest of the swimmers if you are in the middle, so you are hoping

that the usual three in the front will have a good line on it. -- the

two or three. They are spotting that first buoy. It is interesting, there

is a whole bunch of swimmers there. They have craft around, the safety

can use and the officials there. There is this first particular lap,

it is all about finding positions will safety can use. Nobody really

takes the lead here. -- safety canoes. We are trying to work out

how to identify the swimmers. It is guesswork. We do know what numbers

are which. The number seven is Keri-Anne, she has a red cap on.

There are a number of swimmers with great caps, we noticed earlier. It

is helpful if we can try and identify a stroke as well.

What was happening here, they are just going for that first buoy.

Probably worth talking about the field, we scanned through some of

the swimmers and what... That is probably a good idea. LAUGHTER

Probably a very good idea. The Brazilians are certainly big

favourites with the local crowd but one of them, Ana Marcela Cunha is a

massive favourite for gold. She has been training here for the last

several years and she was a bronze-medallist at the World

Championships last year in this 10,000 metres but also

gold-medallist in the 25 kilometre. This of course in the proper open

water, out at sea, whereas a lot of the open water races recently have

actually been in lakes so it is a lot more like swimming pool

swimming. So a little bit more bashing and crashing and apparently

Kerry ain't -- Keri-Anne Payne likes it a little rougher, rough

conditions. I think so, it is interesting because we have a number

of swimmers. Cunha, this is her backyard. Keri-Anne Payne. Market is

interesting because the mixture of swimmers who do open water, you have

got those people who train outside, do lots of open water and they live

in open water, they live by the sea and lakes and rivers and a hard core

water people and you have people coming from the pool, in fact there

are three men, racing and a couple of these, Van Rouwendaal was one who

was in the 1500 metres or so. Keri-Anne Payne has done a bit of

both. She was brought up in South Africa and you do swimming outdoors

quite a lot. She is very used to the open water. It is people from the

pool who would prefer flat water obviously, because the flatter the

better. It doesn't look very flat to me but the swimmers have said these

are calm conditions even know there is a swell. We were talking to

Lauren Baillie, coach of Keri-Anne Payne and she said she is slightly

disappointed that it was a little calmer and flatter she was hoping

for. She was hoping for some rougher conditions today. At the moment, it

is a little bit, but hopefully, it will get a bit more of a swell later

on. Keri-Anne Payne was actually brought up in South Africa, she is

right there. You can see the red hat right in the centre. Five or six

back. I surprised she is choosing to choose there. -- stay there. She's

the red hat in the middle. She didn't used to like the hustle and

bustle at all but we were talking to her husband and the other day and

she has been down in the judo hall to get used to a bit of the rough

and tumble. She has done quite a lot since 2012, when she got back in.

The hustle and bustle being something... What she wanted to do

in London having come from the pool is almost protect herself and keep

out of the way. She didn't want to be in it but she has been training

with the judo guys in Scotland. She is also deliberately going out to

the front and then let someone swim over her so she gets used to being

swum over. Then she goes to the front again and swims on her back

and let someone swim over her. She was basically trying to prepare

herself for all kinds of conditions. At the beginning of this race, as we

see from these great shots, she's right amongst it. David did tell us

she doesn't really want it affect anybody else but she just has to

protect her space. It is more about being OK with being in it. She is

the red cap on the far right. She is a good place. The lead here means

nothing at this point. They will stretch. It really is quite busy and

bashing in the centre and Keri-Anne has decided to try to get out of it.

She's the right outside of the pack. She's very good at citing, a natural

site. She lifts her head a bit. It is quite hard on your lower back and

hip flexes if you are not used to it. At the moment, this is number

13. Eva Risztov, the defending Olympic champion from Hungary. They

are not short of support vessels, are they? LAUGHTER

If you are on the shore, this is where they are, the whole gaggle

of... It is a flotilla, isn't it? The whole flotilla of boats

alongside them. The referee boat is that one on the right. The officials

all have yellow tops on. That boat is checking in lots of ways that the

rules are being adhered to. Keeping an eye on people as well. Not too

much argy-bargy. They are not as aggressive as they used to be these

days. They have matured and realise you control your own race and your

own space. Six or seven all in a line and if you get in the middle of

that, they start squeezing you out a little bit. Very uncomfortable. You

will notice there are some red marker buoys, they swim past those

and they are alignment buoys to try to keep the maligned to the next

turning point. Strangely enough, they are not quite in line. They

will probably try to focus on the big yellow markers. Christophe still

leading. She has decided clearly she doesn't want to be part of the pack.

-- Eva Risztov. She is having a good look to make sure she is in line.

Just behind her to the left of her, that is Aurelie Muller. Considered

to be one of the favourites in calmer water. Then Keri-Anne over to

the right, somewhere not in short actually. It is a decent little

chopped. Not quite as smooth on this particular lake. They are swimming

across now, across the bay. A cross towards Sugarloaf Mountain. This

boat nearest to us is pushing, there is a guy pointing his arm and

getting the swimmers in the direction, so even though the

swimmers are directing themselves, it seems these boats either side are

helping them navigate a little bit. You cannot quite see the man... The

man in blue was doing it earlier on the left. I am surprised at that. I

am as well. You would have thought that would be part of the process. I

am very surprised they allowed to do that. Someone goes off course, they

should have been citing better. They are making quite a hard right turn,

looks as though the current is taking a fair way to the left. The

marker buoys, this particular lake, 770 metres, so quite a long

straight. Shame you cannot quite see the mountain. Sugarloaf is behind us

now. Matt Forte will be a big citing mark on the way back. Absolutely,

Andy, we talked earlier about finding the citing. There is

something about when you cite an buoy which is down on the seat or

you site a landmark and Keri-Anne Payne said she would prefer a

landmark. They will pick a piece of it and line up against the peace of

the fort. Eva Risztov still decided that the best course of action is to

stay out of the melee. The right hand side, red hat is Keri-Anne

Payne of Great Britain and she won that silver medal in Beijing eight

years ago and very nearly won it, the Russian just tipping her out to

the gold medal position. Keri-Anne Payne was second and of course

another athlete from Great Britain got the bronze. The other open -- in

2008, we got a silver and bronze. Keri-Anne Payne just got picked out

in London the fourth. Still slightly surprised she is in the pack. She

likes to be two rows back, not in the lead, quite happy to let other

people take the lead. There is Risztov... Actually that is not

Risztov, that is somebody at the back getting dropped already. They

have only gone about 1500 metres at the moment. Not even, 11 minutes. A

thousand metres and someone is already dropping. It has been a long

day. LAUGHTER Just looking at the pack, the yellow

cap of the Australian, number 18, Chelsea Gubecka, she's in there.

She's only 18 years of age actually, the same number as her hat. It is

going to go like that, it is 11 minutes already. Number 15, just

trying to spot numbers, Xin Xin of China. They were meant to be 25

entrants in this but unfortunately, when the Russians decided they

weren't going to be able to swim, they entered an extra swimmer and

the extra swimmer was Anna last of Hungary. -- Anna Olasz of Hungary.

They actually reinstated Krapivina and so therefore instead of removing

Anna Olasz, they have allowed her to stay in. 26 winners in the winning's

event but only 25 in the men's event. It has been the story of the

games, hasn't it? Eva Risztov in the lead and a small group, as they head

towards this first turning buoy. Still within sight of land. They

have done the 350 metres up to the first run, they are now going 170

across the bay, towards Sugarloaf Mountain, up to this big turning

buoy. They are quite big wide turning buoys up here and Keri-Anne

Payne has focused on this, try to make yourself one of the most

rounded and versatile open water swimmers in the world. There are

tactics to going around these, you almost do ash corkscrew. You do a

back stroke and then a front stroked and go round and round. About 1400

metres, it looks like Eva Risztov of Hungary leading and Keri-Anne Payne

right in the middle of that leading pack.

This man has been on the water, Nick Dempsey, the windsurfer, making him

officially the greatest men's windsurfer in terms of decoration

because that is a second silver to go with your bronze medal.

Congratulations. What is it like to be wearing it for a third time at

the Gaines? It is pretty awesome. I think it is always quite difficult

when you come into the Olympic Games, you are never quite sure

before how you are going to get on. This one is pretty special. It was a

fight just as it was in London. You had come for the gold, you have made

that your priority, but in the end,... I know it was a friendly

rivalry, will you settle for silver at this time? If you'd asked me

during the week, but then you come out and reflect on what you have

achieved, especially over five Olympic Games, I'm still very proud.

I'm sure you are, a fifth Olympic Games and I noticed in your post

race interviews, you haven't ruled out a sixth question --? I am 90%

sure I'm not going to be racing but you get soaked up in this Olympic

thing. It is special. You forget about all the hard work and the

lonely hours training but I probably won't be competing. You spent five

months on and off out here to try to master the wins and it is pretty

fickle out there. There was a huge variation in the conditions. It is

calm today for the swimmers but what has it been like? It has been

fickle, quite complicated and interesting, but it has been all

right. Certainly conditions I have enjoyed. We talked a lot about the

water quality and you rated it ten out of ten. The actual competition,

but the water quality itself, would you have wanted to spend two hours

in the water? I'm not going swimming in the water, no. Unequivocally? No.

I know you love windsurfing, how did you get into it and what was the

appeal? Just like my children, you stick

them in a wet suit and play in the water. Your sailing club, or

whatever it is, I discovered a wet suit, I love windsurfing, I love

taking my boys windsurfing nowadays. And they are I'm sure absolutely

chuffed to see this medal. Have you been home to show it to them? No,

not yet, I only got at last night. I will try to Skype them today and let

them see. I know they wanted gold. What was the reaction to the silver?

Oscar wasn't bothered. Thomas, he just said, two silvers daddy, that

is OK, that makes one gold so it's OK. I think he's quite right. One

other thing, kite surfing. You did consider being a kite surfer,

because windsurfing was going to be taken of the Olympic programme. Why

are you serious with that? I was deadly serious, you. I spent months

learning to kite surf -- sure. I would have enjoyed it, it would have

been more of a challenge but I'm really glad that the windsurfing

stayed in because it was the right thing to do. This sport is just

fantastic, it's just made for the Olympics. It was glorious to see you

coming across the line again, albeit there was no pressure in the medal

race. It is great to see you wearing another medal once again. Thank you,

Nick. A glorious sight last night in the athletics Stadium. We have the

unbelievable world record from Wayde van Niekerk. Ours Michael Jonzon

today? Good morning, Hazel. Michael Jonzon is always a ray of sunshine,

a delightful ball of energy. Although I expect the world were

calling you off the hook! They were, I've been through this once before.

When a world record being broken, the worst part is feeling like

something bad has happened to you only because of everyone else's

reaction. I'm getting condolence messages, people asking if I'm OK.

I'm like, what happened? Something fantastic happened. Wayde van

Niekerk broke the world record. I didn't lose any one commune. I

didn't lose a race. I remember losing my first 400 after I had a

streak of 40s on my races that I won. And the reaction from that was

about as bad as having lost, you know, a world record. And, you know,

I've said this before about the 200m world record. It's the

accomplishment that you're proud of. And when somebody breaks your world

record, the fact that you accomplished that doesn't go away.

And so I woke up this morning, and still able to smile about the fact

that I was able to witness that phrase. It's hard for people to

believe -- witness that race. They are waiting for you today, I'm

really disappointed, but nothing has changed here are my life. I'm

sitting here between two fantastic beautiful friends, talking about

athletics today. And, you know, I said this in also therapy, I feel

the same way about this 400-metre world record -- I say this in

sincerity. It could have gone to a better person. I don't think you can

give higher praise the Wayde van Niekerk than that. Let's look at the

200m heats, the women coming onto the track shortly. But Great

Britain, great excitement about what Dina Asher Smith can achieve. Last

year she was the new British record holder, she took Smith's 31 year

record last year. She is a fantastically exciting prospect. She

is heading into a second year of a history degree and juggling the

amazing things going on in her life. European champion this year, she

brings that title to the party. Let's see what inspired her to get

into athletics. She caught up with Darren Campbell.

What was that moment when you decided that you wanted to be an

Olympian? I remember I was eight years old and I was watching the

Olympics in 2004 in Athens. It was actually the relay. I'm getting so

embarrassed! But the relay, watching for people

come together and really, really just do what they needed to do in

that moment, it made me realise that this moment, that very moment that

you didn't do a thing, yeah, it really, really inspired me and made

me want to become an Olympian and pursue sport. Last year was really,

really special. I didn't backed to make a World Championship final. --

didn't expect. A new British record for Dina Asher-Smith! She is very,

very happy, and so she should be. They blot I improved my outright PBM

progressive races, that was really cool for me and I was really happy.

And also running in the Limerick Stadium, that was really, really

cool. -- the Olympic Stadium. She gets a good start. Dina Asher-Smith

is over here. Dina Asher-Smith is quick! It is a new British record!

That they, everything seemed to click and I was so happy. So happy

that everything just worked out. 2015 has been fantastic, but you're

also a student. You're at King's College doing a history degree. How

do you manage the studying alongside the training that you need to do to

be in the top ten in the world? It's difficult, it's difficult, I'm not

going to lie about that. It does take a lot of juggling and

organisation, making sure you've got enough time. I get one shot at a

degree, is three years, I'm not going to be able to do it again, I

can't have a do over. I've got to make sure that I do the best I can

in my degree. But at the same time, I can't not focus on my athletic

either, because it is the Olympic Games, the World Championships

coming up, all of these events going on, you're never going to get these

moments back either. I've got to make sure that I balance my time. It

is a hard task, but I work hard at it. What can Dina Asher-Smith do

here? She goes in lane Smith. These two side-by-side. Dina

Asher-Smith just gets it ahead of Desiree Henry, Jodie Williams and

third. Since I was like really small I've always wanted to be an

Olympian. Today it really didn't matter, the crucial thing was

getting the top two place. I feel so emotional. I'm so happy that I'm

going to be an Olympian. Have you been able to exhale yet actually,

realise what's happened to you in the last two mike is, is it real?

No, it's not real. -- the last two years. That is the beauty of it, the

moment I take a step back and realise the beauty of it and take it

seriously, it becomes more overwhelming because you realise the

stakes in what could be achieved and you start to put pressure on

yourself. For me, I'm just enjoying the ride simply because as soon as

UK could set back and you take everything in you think, oh, wow,

this is actually really important -- you take a step back.

STUDIO: A very special athlete, coming fifth in the World

Championships last year, she has a heady mix of somebody who is really

loving the sport, able to put things in perspective and seems to have a

brilliant approach to competition. She doesn't seem to get herself too

stressed out about things, still able to love it but clearly loves

winning. And she still only 20! It is just fantastic. She is very love

or headed. It is important that you love what you're doing, and she

really does that. -- level-headed. She had two amazing years. A lot of

people would expect her to become sore dating this year, trying to get

stronger, which I know she is working on, but this year she has

got to get out there and do her thing. We will talk about more -- we

will talk more about her and her potential in it. Heat number one has

Dafne Schippers, she has made a transition from heptathlon to 200m.

She really impressed in the World Championships last year. She has

taken dispensing like about the water, it really suits her, clearly

this lifestyle suits her. -- she has taken to sprinting. She will be

pushing for the top spot in the 200. Steve Cram will take this heat.

COMMENTATOR: Good morning. A lovely day for Sunday. There is plenty of

deckchairs available. A morning session which is, by stark contrast

to last night, sparsely populated in the stands. And a real contrast

between the sunny side of the street and the shaded area where these

women are setting off in this first round, in this 200m, as Gabby was

saying, Dafne Schippers in this first one. Thomas of Trinidad and

Tobago may well be her, I wouldn't say rival, but suddenly a contender.

As the go through. -- offers Gibbs to go through. Although there are

nine he's -- a contender for skippers Mac to go through. If you

get in a heat to go through one of, it can be more difficult on paper.

Skippers Macros is here with Olivia Borlee of the Borlee family. Thomas,

watch out for her. Read the act is in lane seven, she didn't look too

good in the 100m earlier. Schippers must have been really disappointed

with the 100m final. She was on the outside, away from the main action

in the middle, didn't get a good start. Very much an also-ran. There

is always a better event. Although I know she was questioned about that

during the Diamond League season, she kept raising an eyebrow thing,

I'm not too bad at the 100. But a disappointing performance from her.

Awayday go. Arrhythmia has started quickly out in lane seven, but that

the skippers going well. Mihalinec of Slovenia going well. Schippers

checking around already. Arrhythmia is going fast. It is going to be the

two qualifiers. -- parental yak. A slight following wind. We will

have to keep an eye on the fastest losers Baz. Dina Asher-Smith

hopefully won't need to worry about that in heat five. -- the fastest

losers spot. No problems there for Schippers. Colin, the viewers can't

see, but I have to say, that is a lovely son had you are wearing!

Thank you very much, Seve. -- sun hat. I'm pretty sure if the viewers

saw it they would appreciate it too. But Daphne skippers is the main

person we are focusing on. She is the world champion, a fantastic

performance. Second fastest in history on this distance, really.

And she is very much at ease, Steve. You know, this long loping stride

that she has. She didn't have the concentrate too much on the start,

that takes added pressure off, she knows she can take her time and move

her way through the field, especially in these first rounds, it

is nice to get the legs stretched out again and get familiar with the

distance. It has been a long time since she has raised it, in relative

terms. She will be happy to have a little canter out. Even though she

was just striding, 22:51 is a pretty hot time. Some good times behind her

as well. We are talking about the fastest losers Baz. Emmanuel went

well and finished strongly. -- fastest loser spots. The first 25

going under 20 seconds. Ramanayake looking good, she has gone through.

-- Pohrebnyak. Thomas was a bit disappointing, the Trinidadian. But

Schippers through no problem. That looks really impressive. How well

have you recovered from the 100m versions? It was very good, I feel

better than before. I am happy with this one. It was a good start, and

I'll go to the next one. You were commenting on how warm it is today.

The contrasts between the last few days in temperatures and the things

you've had to go through, early-morning and late nights. How

has that been? It is a little difficult, but it is OK for me. I

tried to sleep early last night, I did actually sleep good. That is the

point, have a good rest. I feel good. And you feel in this event

where your target is one of the favourites, all year long you seem

to be real comfortable out there. The 100m, I came here for a medal.

My body is very good, I know that I can run the 200 very good. And last

every step and go to the finals. We wish you well for the last round,

thank you for talking to us. Thank you. She seemed happy enough, and so

she should be. 22:50 one. Emmanuel with a personal best, 22: 80. There

are nine heats. STUDIO: Dafne Schippers clearly

prefers the 200, she seems physically better suited to it. Is

this what we were talking about the long stride? She has the confidence

to run better in that race. There is more room for her to unwind. She has

got the fastest time in the world this year as well, that gives our

confidence coming in here. The fifth place in the 100 was probably not

what she would have wanted. She is going to come under pressure from

Elaine Thompson, they have about the same personal best, 21:6. That is

going to be a great race. Thomson is the world Olympic champion. That is

the matchup that I expect. You can't tell much from these rounds, but the

fact that she said she filed good in the race and was able to warm up

early in the morning in this heat bode well for her chances. I would

rather go early on in these heats, I think even ten minutes would make a

difference. If Steve Cram is going to make a comment about Colin

Jackson's headgear, we definitely need to point out that the fashion

intuition and innovative nurse that Andrew Cotter, our commentator, he

didn't bring a hat, but, hey, he can use paper, and I think that is going

to catch on! I am from the West of Scotland, I didn't know it could get

this hot anywhere in the world! Colin Jackson looks... This is the

line-up for the second heat. Two to go through automatically, six

fastest losers over the nine heats. Already, Oprandi knee making great

ground and Gloria Hooper alongside her. Bandini out in front at the

moment. That was a quick first take with

five women going below 23 seconds. Prandini out on their Rhone little

bit. Very good conditions for sprinting. A good run from Prandini.

Brilliant run from Jenna. I know were quite well and I always wind up

and ask her when she's going back to the long jump. She's a class act

when it comes to and jumping. It is nice for me to see her here.

Demonstrating she is a true class of this field. Easing away through past

everyone. Look how she switches off, switches down and I think she will

join this Championship. Big chance there to make another impact in the

world of sprinting. She is very talented and someone who is

thoroughly enjoys the role. US champion over 200 metres last year.

This time, she was behind a couple of runners. She should be among the

contenders. A field event qualification under

way, men's triple jump. This is Will Claye.

He is an Olympic medallist four years ago. That is a jump around

16.5 metres. He took bronze in the long jump and silver in the triple

jump four years ago. Asking where he was on the board. So crucial to get

as close as you can without encroaching. The green line is auto

qualifying. It is very warm, perfect triple jump conditions, they are in

the shade of the back straight of the stadium. He is leading.

This athlete won the World Championships in Oregon in the

winter in the global Championships. Yet he global qualification. Strikes

the ground, that was crisp. Didn't he make that look easy? Dong Bin of

China sets his stall out ahead of tomorrow's final. He has got himself

involved in that. That will mean he can leave the stadium and go and

relax and get himself ready for tomorrow. 17.10 with a minimum of

effort. Various types of headgear being displayed around the stadium.

I can tell it in the box, Steve Backley and myself have gone for the

age-old invention of hair, unlike Andrew Cotter and Colin Jackson! It

works wonders, guys, you should try it! We are waiting patiently for the

Santa just dip behind the stadium. It is still very hot as you were

commentating, over on the back straight, Steve. The athletes in the

shade over there. The news we are hearing is that Pedro a blow

Ricciardo will not start. He has a DNS on the computer. The Cuban

silver-medallist, twice silver-medallist, will take no part

in the triple jump at the Olympic Games. Sad news for him and for the

event. The women just a little further

round on the crowd in the bend. Michelle-Lee Ahye, a name to pick

out. This is quite an even heat. Michelle-Lee Ahye Yee has run a new

national record the date of... Simone Facey Kinnane five. There is

Ahye. Very familiar figure on the Diamond League circuit. Finished

sixth in the 100 metres. If you are taking that as a bit of a

benchmark and the fastest loser spot, you have to run 22.90 or

quicker or roundabout that. I suspect that would get you through

if you are not in the top two. Ahye in Lane 3, Connolly, Simone

Facey, outside her. The Brazilian right on the outside. Simone Facey

started very quickly indeed. Ahye trying to get up to it. Simone Facey

leading on the outside but Ahye now storming through. Looking good as

well. She is running hard all the way to the line. Ahye wins it, just

easing off at the end. Simone Facey takes second. The winning time,

22.50. Perfect conditions again, that's like the following wind to

everyone and these are reasonably quick. Colin. This has taken my

breath away. These women making this time look very comfortable. Ahye is

not someone I see regularly running 200 metres over her to run so well

and competently, that is brilliant. Elaine Thompson will be going soon

at the 100-metre champion from Jamaica, trying to become only the

seventh woman to complete the double, 100 and 200-metre double. We

are about to affect another channel change, we are going over to BBC

One. If you are winning the channel changing event in your house, I

suggest you get the remote control ready and go over to BBC One and we

will be going right around all of these venues from the athletics to

the velodrome to the Equestrian Centre and so much more. We will see

you over on BBC One in a couple of minutes.
