:03:29. > :03:33.Ainslie, the most successful Olympic sailor in the world. You

:03:33. > :03:36.might have noticed that a lot of presenters have been out and about

:03:36. > :03:40.a different venues but Gary has been keeping this seat warm.

:03:41. > :03:45.Tonight, he is over there in the Olympic Stadium ready to witness

:03:45. > :03:55.what promises to be another memorable evening of athletics.

:03:55. > :03:56.

:03:56. > :04:00.Surely, surely it can't match what Rowing had delivered in the morning,

:04:24. > :04:29.

:04:29. > :04:39.Oh my goodness, just remarkable. Greg Rutherford is the Olympic

:04:39. > :04:40.

:04:40. > :04:44.champion. And 24 minutes after Mo Farah is kicking on. Has he got

:04:44. > :04:53.enough? He is going for it. It is going to be a glorious, glorious

:04:53. > :05:00.win! Mo Farah for Great Britain, it is gold! 45 minutes that made this

:05:00. > :05:04.the brightest of nights. GARY LINEKAR: Quite something,

:05:04. > :05:08.wasn't it? The finest hour of British sport in Olympic history

:05:08. > :05:13.and how, you might ask, can we better that? Believe you me, we

:05:13. > :05:17.will try. For starters, the 100 metres fight -- the 100 metres

:05:17. > :05:27.final, the fastest men on the planet with less than ten seconds

:05:27. > :05:33.

:05:34. > :05:39.In a Formula One race I drive almost two would miles. In a tennis

:05:39. > :05:44.match I hit the ball 200 times. played twice a week, all year.

:05:44. > :05:50.have to time to correct a mistake, a second chance. But what if you

:05:50. > :05:59.have only got ten seconds? Ten seconds in four years. The smallest

:05:59. > :06:09.mistake is magnified. There is no second chance. Ten seconds and you

:06:09. > :06:09.

:06:09. > :06:19.are either... Or the Olympic 100- metre champion. Or you are not.

:06:19. > :06:39.

:06:39. > :06:44.Usain Bolt will defend his Olympic 100 metres title right here tonight.

:06:44. > :06:54.Who knows what drama will unfold in this magnificent sporting theatre.

:06:54. > :06:58.It promises to be another Usain Bolt says he wants to emerge

:06:58. > :07:05.from these Olympics as a living legend. We will see the fastest man

:07:05. > :07:10.on earth. It takes an extraordinary athlete to beat Bolt. His training

:07:10. > :07:15.partner Yohan Blake has done it twice this summer. Be whether no

:07:16. > :07:19.man known as the Beast. -- be where the man known as the Beast. We have

:07:19. > :07:24.local girl, Christine Ohuruogu, who once again appears to be peaking

:07:24. > :07:29.when it matters. Can she upset the odds and successfully defend the

:07:29. > :07:33.400 metres title? Triple-jumper Yamile Aldama likens her life story

:07:33. > :07:38.to the plot of a Hollywood film. She is looking for an uplifting

:07:38. > :07:41.finale in the triple jump. And it is a short walk to the Olympic

:07:41. > :07:48.Stadium from the home of Perri Shakes-Drayton. She will be looking

:07:48. > :07:53.for a stroll in her 400m hurdles. So it is athletics all the way

:07:53. > :08:03.tonight, with the highlights being the women's 400 metres final at

:08:03. > :08:08.

:08:08. > :08:12.9:50pm. On BBC Three there is Jake Humphrey is and he is at the

:08:12. > :08:22.cycling but it will be men's hockey shortly. Great Britain against

:08:22. > :08:25.Here we are in the Olympic Stadium. I am joined by Michael Johnson. It

:08:25. > :08:31.is a blue ribband event, the one so many people look forward to. What

:08:31. > :08:35.can we expect? It is blue ribband - - Blue Riband, you are a pier and I

:08:35. > :08:38.have notes, this doesn't normally happen. There are so many great

:08:38. > :08:43.story lines coming into this men's 100 metres. It is not about the

:08:43. > :08:47.times but I do expect some fast times. We might see the first time

:08:47. > :08:52.all meant go under ten seconds. It might take going under ten seconds

:08:52. > :08:56.just to get in the final, which is incredible. The way the heats are

:08:56. > :09:01.set up, there are three heats in the semi-final to get to the final.

:09:01. > :09:04.The top two get into the final in the next -- and the next two

:09:04. > :09:09.fastest times so the league -- so the lane draws and he draws are

:09:09. > :09:13.important. Usain Bolt is in the hardest and toughest heat, which is

:09:13. > :09:17.going to show as a lot from him and what he has got going in terms of

:09:17. > :09:22.the injury he sustained earlier this year and his fitness level.

:09:22. > :09:28.Adam Gemili, he is in the best state he could be in, the easiest

:09:28. > :09:32.vital -- the easiest final, with Tyson Gay. Asafa Powell and Justin

:09:32. > :09:38.Gatlin to, Ryan Bailey, all of these guys, Yohan Blake, Usain Bolt,

:09:38. > :09:43.all of these guys could figure in these medals so it is not just

:09:43. > :09:48.about the top. I can see seven guys who could all potentially medal.

:09:48. > :09:51.That doesn't usually happen, but is what makes it great. It is so

:09:51. > :09:55.competitive. All eyes will be on Usain Bolt and we will learn a lot

:09:56. > :10:00.from his semi-final. He seemed to be holding plenty back in his heat?

:10:00. > :10:04.He was holding back quite a bit yesterday, how much, we don't know.

:10:04. > :10:11.His demeanour was a little bit different than I have seen before.

:10:12. > :10:15.He was not as jubilant, he was not Dunne he was more focused. He is in

:10:15. > :10:19.a different position. He does not come in as an overwhelming

:10:19. > :10:22.favourite, so will he feel the pressure? Will he be affected by

:10:22. > :10:27.that pressure? Normally he is the kind of athlete who would not be

:10:27. > :10:30.affected by that but this is a different situation. He is a global

:10:30. > :10:34.superstar. Everyone expects great things from him. He will be

:10:34. > :10:40.interesting to see. He knows that Yohan Blake has been him twice this

:10:40. > :10:44.year. Thank you for now, Michael. We look forward to the 100 metres,

:10:44. > :10:54.about 9:50pm. A short while ago we saw one of our heroes collect his

:10:54. > :10:55.

:10:55. > :10:58.gold medal. Olympic long jump Greg Rutherford, I don't think he

:10:59. > :11:05.can still quite believe that he is the Olympic champion. Once again,

:11:05. > :11:10.an amazing ovation rings out around this magnificent stadium. He lost

:11:10. > :11:17.this competition. The second round, 8.21, that would have been good

:11:17. > :11:27.enough for gold, and he extended it at 8.31 in the 4th round. I really

:11:27. > :11:35.

:11:35. > :11:45.dominant performance. -- a really Please stand for the national

:11:45. > :11:54.

:11:54. > :11:58.CROWD: # God save our gracious Queen!

:11:58. > :12:06.# Long live our noble Queen! # God save the Queen!

:12:06. > :12:16.# Send her victorious. # Happy and glorious.

:12:16. > :12:29.

:12:29. > :12:34.# Long to reign over us. A little smile. He doesn't quite

:12:34. > :12:39.believe it, it has not sunk in yet. Well, Greg Rutherford, you have a

:12:39. > :12:43.lifetime for it to sink in. You are the Olympic champion.

:12:43. > :12:47.Another emotional medal ceremony. He had to wait a long time for that,

:12:47. > :12:52.didn't he? Let's go to John Inverdale to look forward to a

:12:52. > :12:57.wonderful night of track and field. I think we ran out of superlatives

:12:57. > :13:03.last night, didn't we? I was coming through the dictionary for other

:13:03. > :13:09.words, other than amazing, extraordinary, remarkable. Unless

:13:09. > :13:12.Ball or Blake runs 9.4 tonight, it will not be quite as spectacular

:13:12. > :13:16.tonight but it will still be fabulous. Having seen Greg

:13:16. > :13:22.Rutherford's medal ceremony, the great bonus of London traded of us

:13:22. > :13:32.if you win a gold medal, it is you get a commemorative stamp, forever

:13:32. > :13:36.

:13:36. > :13:42.more. There is Greg Rutherford's. I There is the one for Jessica Ennis.

:13:42. > :13:52.I think they are available at a post office near you, at some point,

:13:52. > :13:53.

:13:53. > :14:03.Colin and Denise are here. The men's 100 metres tonight, one, two,

:14:03. > :14:03.

:14:03. > :14:07.three, will be Bolt, Blake, Game. Blake, Bolt, Gay. Fair enough. A

:14:07. > :14:13.final reflection on last night, was that the best night that you have

:14:13. > :14:16.ever enjoyed? Even allowing for your gold medal, was up the most

:14:16. > :14:22.remarkable evening you have ever experienced in athletics?

:14:22. > :14:27.Absolutely, yes. We are having the time of our lives. Last night was

:14:27. > :14:32.the time of our lives and we need to recognise that. It was so

:14:32. > :14:36.special, so unifying and magical. For me, it definitely was. The

:14:36. > :14:40.whole audience here brought the event alive. It made it extra

:14:40. > :14:43.special. The performances were great but the crowds put the icing

:14:43. > :14:48.on the cake. It poured with rain for the marathon this morning.

:14:48. > :14:52.Please, can we have another glorious summer evening for the

:14:52. > :14:57.track and field tonight, and we have got it. It is about 21 Celsius,

:14:57. > :15:07.perfect conditions to run. The action has begun, the women's 400

:15:07. > :15:13.

:15:13. > :15:23.metres hurdles heat. Eilidh Child a very long hold. Eilidh Child...

:15:23. > :15:24.

:15:24. > :15:28.Already, that was Stambolova who took a heavy fall. Stambolova, well,

:15:28. > :15:38.I'm trying to check, was that another one going down, the Kenyan.

:15:38. > :16:06.

:16:06. > :16:12.Eilidh Child needs to concentrate, Eilidh Child, a quick Quint there.

:16:12. > :16:17.-- there was a quick wind. Eilidh Child, it helped her that stumble

:16:17. > :16:27.over would have been affected. She went down at the second hurdle, but

:16:27. > :16:36.

:16:36. > :16:46.Eilidh Child is through, that is whilst its sun is shining a little

:16:46. > :16:59.

:16:59. > :17:09.bit in the Olympic Stadium. But between Eilidh Child and the

:17:09. > :17:19.

:17:19. > :17:25.She is with me now. You are through to the semis, but not the fastest

:17:25. > :17:30.of times. I do not know what happened in the back straight. My

:17:30. > :17:35.strides were all over the place and I started to panic a bit. I am

:17:35. > :17:42.relieved I have done enough to make the semi-finals. Were you able to

:17:42. > :17:47.keep your nerves in check? I was almost crying when Greg was on the

:17:47. > :17:57.podium and I used that the crowd to get me round. The crowd cheered me

:17:57. > :18:14.

:18:14. > :18:24.have liked, but she has explained how that happened. The athletes are

:18:24. > :18:39.

:18:39. > :18:46.already out on the track for the next heat. There is the fastest

:18:46. > :18:50.woman in the field this year. 31 years old. Her fastest time was

:18:50. > :18:58.winning the Russian championships. Spencer is the 9th fastest in

:18:58. > :19:06.history. She has only run 54.39 this year. She finished third in

:19:06. > :19:16.the London Diamond League. She is the Nigerian record holder, twice

:19:16. > :19:19.

:19:19. > :19:23.the African champion. 54.75. 53.96 was the winner of the first heat.

:19:23. > :19:33.If she can repeat the sort of form she showed in the Russian

:19:33. > :19:36.

:19:36. > :19:44.championships, she should stroll round here and win comfortably. We

:19:44. > :19:54.should not forget the Polish record holder. She starts in lane six. The

:19:54. > :20:07.

:20:07. > :20:12.first four will progress through to gone tearing off, past more Hamed.

:20:12. > :20:22.She has got the Malaysian outside her and she has drawn level with

:20:22. > :20:43.

:20:43. > :20:53.the Jamaican now. Natalia Antyukh is such a powerful runner. She wins

:20:53. > :20:59.

:20:59. > :21:05.it and she goes through. 53.90. She is showing us why she won the

:21:05. > :21:15.Olympic bronze medal in 2004 on the flat. Her flat speed is absolutely

:21:15. > :21:19.excellent. She is a 52nd runner over the flat. We have been looking

:21:19. > :21:25.at Kaliese Spencer for many years to be the Olympic champion, but

:21:25. > :21:30.injury caused a bit of a problem. Natalia Antyukh has been dominant

:21:30. > :21:36.for many years, so this result is not a surprise, but what is

:21:36. > :21:43.surprising are the times. They are turning it on when it matters, at

:21:43. > :21:47.the Olympic Games. She is a solid hurdler. She is quite good with the

:21:47. > :21:54.rhythm and she keeps her timing well and she keeps focused on what

:21:54. > :21:59.she needs to do. Now she has matured into this event. She comes

:21:59. > :22:05.from the 400m flat, but she is showing a lot of skill as a hurdler,

:22:05. > :22:15.which is really good to see. I am a perfectionist over the barrier, so

:22:15. > :22:15.

:22:15. > :22:22.I am happy to see somebody hurdling. It was a great night last night,

:22:22. > :22:30.what do we have in store tonight? There is Yohan Blake. His training

:22:30. > :22:34.partner is the man he wants to beat here. I have been asked by about 20

:22:34. > :22:43.different people if Usain Bolt will win. I have no idea. Keep watching

:22:43. > :22:48.and we will find out. We will, do not worry. Before the Games began

:22:48. > :22:54.it has been, have you got tickets for the opening ceremony? Have you

:22:54. > :22:59.got tickets for the men's 100m? The ticket holders here tonight are the

:22:59. > :23:09.luckiest people. Some of them got it in a ballot and they simply

:23:09. > :23:09.

:23:09. > :23:14.could not believe it, the only Each venue as an observer, does

:23:14. > :23:20.tonight not give you an extra tingle? It is the most fantastic

:23:20. > :23:23.drama and we have no idea how it is going to conclude a. The 100m is

:23:23. > :23:27.the blue Riband event of the Olympics and athletics at the

:23:27. > :23:32.Olympic Games, but this one is different than any I have ever seen

:23:32. > :23:37.before because of the great story lies coming into it. Usain Bolt,

:23:37. > :23:43.the greatest there has ever been, but not at his best. Yohan Blake

:23:43. > :23:47.has beaten him twice this year. The Americans are coming back with

:23:48. > :23:53.Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailie. It is an unbelievable

:23:53. > :23:58.evening. We have to mention the 18 year-old Adam Gemili as well in the

:23:58. > :24:03.semi-final. It is an incredible evening. We will see in the semi-

:24:03. > :24:07.finals a lot more than what we saw yesterday. Getting down to business

:24:07. > :24:15.for the final. We will see so much and be able to tell a lot about

:24:15. > :24:18.what is going to happen. Half an hour to go. Do you almost hope

:24:19. > :24:25.Usain Bolt wins regardless? It propels sport to the widest

:24:25. > :24:29.possible audience. Yes, I do. Part of me wants him to win because he

:24:29. > :24:35.has done so much for athletics globally since his complete

:24:35. > :24:41.dominance in 2008. Everybody wants to see that continue. How well the

:24:41. > :24:46.story unfold? Should he win here tonight, it will be very exciting.

:24:46. > :24:53.My feet I tingling and it is in a couple of hours. There is a lot

:24:53. > :24:58.happening on the track, there is the triple jump and the hammer. We

:24:58. > :25:03.have designated channels for every single field final. If you are a

:25:03. > :25:11.fanatic of the hammer, you can watch it on the Web. On BBC Three

:25:11. > :25:21.we have got the hockey match between the British men and the

:25:21. > :25:40.

:25:40. > :25:50.Australians. Let's go back down to Disappointment for the Liberian,

:25:50. > :26:23.

:26:23. > :26:29.the season for Lashinda Demus. I watched her on television and

:26:29. > :26:35.thought, what has gone wrong with her? But she won the American trial,

:26:36. > :26:41.but she was beaten in Monaco recently. This young lady thought

:26:41. > :26:47.she would be a factor. But she has had a bad fall in training and has

:26:47. > :26:57.twisted her ankle a little bit. It will be interesting to see how she

:26:57. > :27:00.

:27:00. > :27:10.goes. She is new to the event, not like Lashinda Demus. She was 5th in

:27:10. > :27:15.

:27:15. > :27:25.the European Championships. Elena Churakova. There are only five

:27:25. > :27:27.

:27:27. > :27:37.heats. Perri Shakes-Drayton goes in the last of the five. We have 24

:27:37. > :27:54.

:27:54. > :28:00.athletes to contest three semi- We Lashinda Demus do the same? Away

:28:00. > :28:06.cleanly this time and Lashinda Demus has started quickly. She

:28:06. > :28:16.easily rises first and is leading as expected. Denisa Rosalova is

:28:16. > :28:16.

:28:16. > :28:20.running a little bit tentatively, but she is going OK, in the middle.

:28:20. > :28:26.The Danish athletes in lane nine is setting the pace as she has decided

:28:26. > :28:36.she has got to get out hard. I am not sure she will be able to hold

:28:36. > :29:09.

:29:09. > :29:15.it in the main. A good battle on she is going to be one of the

:29:16. > :29:23.fastest losers. A real battle going on for the minor places. That

:29:23. > :29:28.battle is very strong indeed. Lashinda Demus in the inside lane

:29:28. > :29:34.looked really competent from the beginning. I watched how she drove

:29:34. > :29:40.out from the blocks. She went into that 15 stride hurdle pattern that

:29:40. > :29:49.she has. Consistent, you expect this from the world champion. I am

:29:49. > :29:54.sure she would like to add the Olympic title to where she is.

:29:54. > :29:58.Focused on the barrier, approaches it well. A little glance over the

:29:58. > :30:06.side, but she should have known by- now that there was nobody around

:30:06. > :30:11.her. She could just focus on what she needed to do. Once she goes

:30:11. > :30:21.over the final barrier, she can relax. That is exactly what she did

:30:21. > :30:34.

:30:34. > :30:43.and strode away comfortably to the Portuguese in third place. Denisa

:30:43. > :30:52.Rosalova is looking good for the fastest loser spots. This is the

:30:52. > :30:59.big stage, the big screen. 20,000 people. It is Henman hell on... I

:30:59. > :31:07.do not know, but whatever. It is fantastic. Somebody Michael alluded

:31:07. > :31:10.to earlier on, an 18 year-old who this time last year was playing at

:31:10. > :31:20.right-back on loan in the Blue Square South and now he finds

:31:20. > :31:23.

:31:23. > :31:26.himself in the semi-finals of the What a moment for Adam Gemili.

:31:26. > :31:29.had to make a decision between staying with football choosing the

:31:29. > :31:32.track and I chose the track for this year and that is when I

:31:32. > :31:38.decided to stick with it properly and dedicate the rest of my year to

:31:38. > :31:41.it. I had a big discussion with my parents. Also with my coach. To

:31:41. > :31:45.find out where I could go and what the progression could be like. We

:31:45. > :31:52.knew I could progress well, but we never expected so much to happen so

:31:52. > :31:56.quickly. It feels like I am dreaming still. It is a whole new

:31:56. > :32:03.experience for me. I have never done anything like this in my life

:32:03. > :32:06.before. How many people can say they have run in the Olympics

:32:06. > :32:12.against Usain Bolt or Tyson Gay or Yohan Blake, ought anybody like

:32:12. > :32:18.that? People talk about with pressure with me. I am not feeling

:32:18. > :32:24.much pressure because I am 18 and have a few more years in this sport,

:32:24. > :32:30.so I am going out there to enjoy it, really. His first taste of the

:32:30. > :32:34.Olympic Games has been a very sweet one indeed.

:32:34. > :32:38.JOHN INVERDALE: There was a debate with a small the about whether Adam

:32:38. > :32:42.Gemili should compete in the Olympic Games, whether he was too

:32:42. > :32:47.young, whether it would have an impact on his career going for. I

:32:47. > :32:52.am glad -- a Betis team are glad he took the chance. You have to take

:32:52. > :32:56.the opportunities. You see young world juniors, European juniors,

:32:56. > :32:59.who never come through, so when he presented with opportunities like

:32:59. > :33:03.this and it does not get better than this then he would be foolish

:33:03. > :33:08.not to take it and he will learn so much, regardless of what happens in

:33:08. > :33:13.his semi-final. He is loving it. He always has a smile on his face. He

:33:13. > :33:16.could do well. He's -- he could sneak into the final. It is a

:33:16. > :33:19.debate within the sport. Mark Lewis-Francis could have run in the

:33:19. > :33:24.individual event in Sydney 12 years ago, but they said he was not ready

:33:24. > :33:27.for it and the chance never comes again? Who knows what is the right

:33:28. > :33:32.thing to do. Regardless of what happens with Adam here, the most

:33:32. > :33:37.important thing is that he continues to develop and continues

:33:37. > :33:41.to be on the track to develop and improve. Even if he makes the final

:33:41. > :33:46.here and finish -- finishes 7th or 8th, it would be a great result for

:33:46. > :33:50.him but that is not the end. You want to be getting medals. That is

:33:50. > :33:56.the most important thing, to take something from this and for people

:33:56. > :34:01.to help him develop be a great sprinter. It is 21 minutes now

:34:01. > :34:11.until the semi-finals of the men's 100 metres. Before that, here is

:34:11. > :34:18.heat four of the women's 400m won the European Championship a few

:34:18. > :34:23.weeks ago, Davydova. 53.77 this year. Second in the London Diamond

:34:23. > :34:33.leak. That was the last time we saw her. There is the line-up for heat

:34:33. > :34:44.

:34:44. > :34:52.fastest woman in the field but she has also got the inside lane and

:34:52. > :34:59.that could be a big disadvantage. This woman is in lane eight. A new

:34:59. > :35:03.star, perhaps, Moline of the United States. She has made massive

:35:03. > :35:08.improvements over the last 12 months, down to 54.33. She came

:35:08. > :35:13.second in the US trials and was beaten by Demus, who won the last

:35:13. > :35:18.heat so impressively. I bet she has never run in front of 80,000 people

:35:18. > :35:28.before, either. This could be her first track race outside of the

:35:28. > :35:34.

:35:34. > :35:44.couple of years ago it was 53.95. Davydova is in a very quick time

:35:44. > :35:57.

:35:57. > :36:03.for her. He'd four of the women's four, the Turkish record holder,

:36:03. > :36:09.who stood up when the starter said, set, and she just went away. Now,

:36:09. > :36:14.what is the starter going to say about that? Having a little

:36:14. > :36:17.conference there. What do you think, Colin? This is going to be an

:36:17. > :36:21.interesting and a really interesting one. I am looking at

:36:21. > :36:25.what the starter is saying, what they are going to do. Whether they

:36:25. > :36:33.will do a yellow card, or a straight red. There you go come off

:36:33. > :36:38.she goes. Her Olympic Games is over. So the Turkish woman is out. That

:36:38. > :36:43.was fairly straightforward. I don't know whether we can see that again.

:36:43. > :36:53.When they went to set, she did not settle, she just went out of her

:36:53. > :36:57.

:36:57. > :37:07.blocks. There is a big gap now between the Costa Rican. As they

:37:07. > :37:36.

:37:36. > :37:46.went to set, she went, and she is quickly. The American is getting

:37:46. > :37:50.

:37:50. > :37:55.have not talked much about her, but she finished 4th at the World

:37:55. > :38:05.Championships five years ago and she is still a very good athlete.

:38:05. > :38:09.

:38:09. > :38:13.She is beginning to get into her but it is this youngster, Moline,

:38:13. > :38:19.the new kid on the block, who is streaking away with this. 22 years

:38:19. > :38:29.old. What a baptism. She is in her first Olympic Games, she is going

:38:29. > :38:31.

:38:31. > :38:37.to get it. Davydova and Wilson are in a photograph. 54.32. That, if

:38:37. > :38:42.confirmed, will be a new lifetime best for Moline of the United

:38:42. > :38:46.States. Well done. Well deserved personal best. It is the first time

:38:46. > :38:50.I have seen her run in the flesh. I was interested to see what her

:38:50. > :38:55.technique was like. I have seen her results prior to the competition.

:38:55. > :38:59.She seems very competent. That was the only hurdle she struggled on,

:38:59. > :39:09.hurdle mind, she was caught between her stride pattern but she was

:39:09. > :39:14.

:39:14. > :39:18.pushed into the final barrier. I am they make the adjustment, the

:39:18. > :39:22.stride length changes as they going to the 9th hurdle and she just did

:39:22. > :39:27.very well indeed and prepared herself for this final hurdle. She

:39:27. > :39:37.cleared it nicely and moved on, no looking backwards or forwards, kept

:39:37. > :39:40.

:39:40. > :39:44.driving hard to the line and was JOHN INVERDALE: We have been having

:39:44. > :39:48.a debate about the hurdling technique. We have one more heat to

:39:48. > :39:56.come, including a British runner, one of the faces of the Games, we

:39:56. > :39:59.hope, a child of the East End who can see this stadium from her road.

:39:59. > :40:03.Perri Shakes-Drayton looking to rubber-stamp purged credentials

:40:03. > :40:07.going into the Olympic competition. This could be a great race for

:40:07. > :40:12.Great Britain, Perri Shakes-Drayton. She comes into the home straight

:40:12. > :40:17.well ahead of everybody. This is a brilliant run for the youngster.

:40:17. > :40:21.Perri Shakes-Drayton has taken this field apart! She is in form at

:40:21. > :40:26.exactly the right time in her life. I think you were seen as a great

:40:26. > :40:30.talent, if you make the title -- the final, potentially challenge

:40:30. > :40:36.for a fine -- for a medal. People were saying you could win a medal?

:40:36. > :40:39.I would be over the moon. It has taken a long while for me to run

:40:39. > :40:47.that time. People probably expected that maybe last year or something

:40:47. > :40:53.but it did not happen and that day, I was on fire. It went to plan. It

:40:53. > :40:57.was nice, a nice feeling and hopefully I can repeat it again.

:40:57. > :41:01.Once you have been there and done it, maybe it takes that obstacle

:41:01. > :41:05.from you in a mental sense? Yes, now it is for me to believe in

:41:05. > :41:08.myself. I have done it once and I am sure I am capable of doing it

:41:08. > :41:14.again. I am trying not to think about it too much that it is an

:41:14. > :41:17.Olympic Games. I have done how many races? It is a 400-metre track. I'm

:41:17. > :41:27.used to running in it except of the crowd and they don't scare me

:41:27. > :41:29.

:41:29. > :41:33.because they are there behind be. - Gunnell goes forehead ten gets it

:41:33. > :41:38.right, she goes for gold. You have somebody like Sally Gunnell saying

:41:38. > :41:43.she sings you can win it. What do you say for that -- what do you say

:41:43. > :41:46.to that? It is nice people have belief in me every girl in the 400

:41:46. > :41:50.metres hurdles is going to have some kind of fire in make-up, there

:41:50. > :42:00.is only three medals that can be won and I am going to go out there

:42:00. > :42:06.and do my best and hopefully it Natasha Danvers, who got a bronze

:42:06. > :42:11.medal in the 400 -- in Beijing, is doing commentary tonight on our 3D

:42:11. > :42:16.IHD service, if you want to have it in super deluxe quality. There is

:42:16. > :42:19.Perri Shakes-Drayton. Can it really be 20 years, Sally Gunnell, Linford

:42:19. > :42:25.Christie, all that, goodness me! What about her prospects here,

:42:25. > :42:30.Denise? Like she said, she is one of several girls here that could

:42:30. > :42:36.take the title, could really perform out of their skin here. But

:42:36. > :42:39.I think she has a great gift. She has great flat speed, turning

:42:39. > :42:43.technique has tidied up somewhat and that running she didn't Crystal

:42:44. > :42:49.Palace was pretty amazing and we always felt she was capable of

:42:49. > :42:53.running quickly and that 53.77 that she did would put her right in the

:42:53. > :42:58.frame. Michael, a quick thing about personality and attitude to

:42:58. > :43:02.competing. Mo Farah before the race last night was grinning. He was so

:43:02. > :43:05.relaxed, it was almost like he was flat out. Perri Shakes-Drayton has

:43:05. > :43:09.that quality as well. In crucial moments it can make the difference,

:43:09. > :43:13.can't it? It depends on the athlete and each athlete will understand

:43:14. > :43:19.what is best for them and how to get in the right mindset for the

:43:20. > :43:23.race. Perri Shakes-Drayton is jubilant after the race, we love it

:43:23. > :43:27.when she is interviewed, but right now she is focused on serious and

:43:27. > :43:32.she understands the magnitude of what she is about to attempt to do.

:43:32. > :43:42.Steve Cram will the start -- well described it for it -- Steve Cram

:43:42. > :43:59.

:43:59. > :44:08.world champion, she has been in the top two in the last three global

:44:08. > :44:13.title races, Walker. It is someone for Shakes-Drayton to run down here.

:44:13. > :44:21.A couple of good markers for her. The top Saw, that is all that is

:44:21. > :44:26.required. No mistakes. -- the top four. Perri Shakes-Drayton has

:44:26. > :44:33.started well. She has taken some ground out of one of the other

:44:33. > :44:37.athletes. Walker has gone quickly through the first 200 metres.

:44:37. > :44:42.Shakes-Drayton is sticking to her race strategy, her stride pattern,

:44:42. > :44:45.which will be strong in the home straight. She needs to be sensible

:44:45. > :44:50.here and she should qualify comfortably. It would be good to

:44:50. > :44:53.get past Walker, she has done that and she is looking strong. She is

:44:53. > :45:01.announcing herself as a real contender here, Perri Shakes-

:45:01. > :45:10.Drayton. Walker is struggling, the defending champion. If she can

:45:10. > :45:14.coasting, just about, Shakes- Drayton wins it. Well, that was

:45:14. > :45:19.really good from Perri Shakes- Drayton, a really tactical race and

:45:19. > :45:25.was -- a route -- she really attacked the race. She stuttered a

:45:25. > :45:30.little at the penultimate one. 54.62, she made it look comfortable.

:45:30. > :45:34.Colin? I was happy to see her aggressive from the blocks, get

:45:34. > :45:41.into her stride pattern very quickly indeed. She did 15 Gaz,

:45:41. > :45:45.when she was nice and fresh. She started to change down and ordered

:45:45. > :45:51.her stride into the race. She does that very well indeed from the top

:45:51. > :45:58.corner. That set it up very nicely for an easy run-in to the line at

:45:58. > :46:02.54.62. From the blocks, very strong, very aggressive. At this moment she

:46:02. > :46:06.will not see any of the barriers because she will be running hard.

:46:06. > :46:11.She will not focus it and will a bit later on. She will switch on to

:46:11. > :46:16.where she needs to be. Right now, she thinks, right, I am working

:46:16. > :46:20.where I am, I need to get my 15 stride pattern in round this corner

:46:20. > :46:25.while I am fresh, get into a rhythm. She has taken the barriers with the

:46:25. > :46:31.same leg each time, which means she is on a Orde strike -- stride

:46:31. > :46:37.length, 15 strides. As she goes round the corner, she decides it is

:46:37. > :46:44.time to change down, she is doing a 16 strides. She takes that one with

:46:44. > :46:52.her right leg, this one is the left leg. She dropped down to a 17 there.

:46:52. > :47:02.Here we go. That is another. -- that is another 17. Good focus, an

:47:02. > :47:12.

:47:12. > :47:22.athlete in control of what she hurtling. She will be frustrated

:47:22. > :47:35.

:47:35. > :47:43.she did 17s. But she will be happy Safely through and impressively

:47:43. > :47:49.through, what was your approach? Obviously I thought I had to treat

:47:49. > :47:54.it like a final and I could not hold it back. I tried to stay

:47:54. > :48:01.relaxed. The main thing was to qualify for the next round. Were

:48:01. > :48:07.you looking to put a marker down? Not really, but I wanted to win. It

:48:07. > :48:12.is a good start, you know. I am through to the semis tomorrow.

:48:12. > :48:19.about the experience in front of his crowd? I love it. I'm not fazed

:48:19. > :48:24.by this. I have been to the stadium before. I expected it to be louder

:48:24. > :48:30.than what it actually was. But the crowd were lovely and I appreciated

:48:30. > :48:35.it. Good luck for the semis and the final, hopefully. Hello to

:48:35. > :48:40.everybody. A terrific start for Perri Shakes-Drayton and I have

:48:41. > :48:47.been joined by our Olympic champion Greg Rutherford. Congratulations.

:48:47. > :48:52.You had to wait a long time to get hold of that medal. I was with the

:48:53. > :48:57.press today and I was with Jessica today and I thought something was

:48:57. > :49:02.missing and everybody was saying where is your medal? Finally I have

:49:02. > :49:07.got it and it is brilliant. It is nice to have something to look

:49:07. > :49:12.forward to. It is great to get back into the stadium and in front of

:49:12. > :49:18.the fans again. This is a home Olympics with all these people

:49:18. > :49:24.going absolutely mad for your. I have enjoyed every minute. That was

:49:24. > :49:29.your magic moment, 8.31. Did you think that would be enough?

:49:29. > :49:36.never know in the long jump. If somebody get something right and

:49:36. > :49:41.everything right, they have jumped a massive jump. I did not think I

:49:41. > :49:46.was safe and I had it in the bag. I knew it was good for a medal. But I

:49:46. > :49:52.did not expect to win it at that time. I was waiting for somebody to

:49:52. > :49:57.react to that, but fortunately they did not and I took the gold.

:49:57. > :50:04.Describe to us mere mortals what that feels like. It is the most

:50:04. > :50:11.amazing feeling of my life. From inside I was trying not to cry. It

:50:11. > :50:16.is such an emotional moment. It was blood, sweat and tears and it was

:50:16. > :50:21.always more tears. I was going to try and sing along, but every time

:50:21. > :50:27.I opened my mouth, it did not happen. I was fighting back the

:50:27. > :50:33.tears. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You nearly quit four

:50:33. > :50:39.years ago after Beijing pulls up I'm glad you did not. Yes, I'm glad,

:50:39. > :50:43.it was a bad decision. So many people go through so many downs and

:50:43. > :50:49.the ups are very rare, so it is about cherishing the moments when

:50:49. > :50:54.you get them. At that time I did not have many ups and I was

:50:54. > :50:59.wondering why I was doing it. But I have a great family and nowadays I

:50:59. > :51:04.have a fantastic coach and a fantastic team and they have kept

:51:04. > :51:11.my body in great condition. Because of that I managed to win an Olympic

:51:11. > :51:17.gold medal. You certainly did. Sue had a lot of injuries, 17 hamstring

:51:17. > :51:21.pulls, and you switch to almost copying Carl Lewis. Because I had a

:51:21. > :51:27.terrible hamstring we had to look at what was causing the that and

:51:27. > :51:31.the way I was taking off and it was loading the hamstring far too much.

:51:31. > :51:39.We looked at somebody who ran very fast and Carl Lewis was a great

:51:39. > :51:44.example of that. We decided to incorporate his depth. My coach

:51:44. > :51:49.said this was what I needed to work on. We are now trying to copy the

:51:50. > :51:56.latter part of the jump as well, but that is a big technical change.

:51:56. > :52:02.Once I get that, I could get some bigger distances. Were you aware of

:52:02. > :52:06.everything going on with Mo Farah and Desert Ennis? We knew what was

:52:06. > :52:11.coming, she is incredible, an amazing athlete and again with Mo

:52:11. > :52:14.Farah he is a fantastic athlete. All of a sudden I thought I had won

:52:14. > :52:19.a gold medal as well and people were saying it was the greatest

:52:19. > :52:26.night in British history and to be a part of that was amazing. That

:52:26. > :52:31.has not struck home yet. I am so proud to be part of that. You made

:52:31. > :52:35.a massive impact and you will be responsible for parents being

:52:35. > :52:44.driven to distraction with their kids leaping over the sofas in the

:52:44. > :52:48.living rooms. I was wondering whether last night

:52:48. > :52:53.would lead to a national holiday in this country at some point. I saw

:52:53. > :52:58.Tony Blair being interviewed a few moments ago and David Cameron was

:52:58. > :53:03.here last night. I looked up to see if a national holiday had ever been

:53:03. > :53:09.created because of sporting success in the Olympic Games and they had a

:53:09. > :53:16.national holiday in Jamaica in 1952 after their four by four relay team

:53:16. > :53:23.beat the USA. There was a huge rivalry at that time. I wonder if

:53:23. > :53:30.Jamaica got a 1, 2, 3 and the 100m that they would have a holiday.

:53:30. > :53:34.There is also Asafa Powell and T is the forgotten man of the 100m.

:53:34. > :53:40.could be dangerous because he is a much more relaxed athlete now. He

:53:40. > :53:44.is no longer the centre of attention. Before that he was not

:53:44. > :53:49.able to deliver and could not handle the pressure. Since Bolt has

:53:49. > :53:56.become the focus, Asafa Powell has become a better competitor. He will

:53:56. > :54:00.be much more dangerous tonight. They need to keep their eye on him.

:54:00. > :54:10.This is where the Countdown star's. The final is in about two-and-a-

:54:10. > :54:23.

:54:23. > :54:33.European champion. This stadium has just come to live. I wonder why.

:54:33. > :54:41.

:54:41. > :54:51.That is the Gambian record holder. One of the great Jamaicans. Asafa

:54:51. > :54:54.Powell is a form her world record holder at 9.72 seconds. There were

:54:55. > :54:59.question marks about Jimmy Vicaut and his hamstring and whether it

:54:59. > :55:06.would heal enough or quickly enough for the Olympic Games. But he

:55:06. > :55:16.looked pretty good in the heats. A personal best by this man from the

:55:16. > :55:22.

:55:22. > :55:28.Ivory Coast. A surprise package. The Olympic champion in 2004. The

:55:28. > :55:33.American champion in 2012, Justin Gatlin. Next to him Keston Bledman

:55:33. > :55:38.from Trinidad and Tobago. One of the quickest in the world before

:55:39. > :55:48.these Games. He did not look so good in qualification. Listen to

:55:49. > :55:49.

:55:49. > :56:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:56:50. > :57:00.that cheer. James Dasaolu on the will be the American, the storming

:57:00. > :57:04.

:57:04. > :57:10.through oh, my word. He was looking at them to say, keep up. 9.82. You

:57:10. > :57:14.heard what they said. If we weren't expecting anything quick in the

:57:14. > :57:20.final of these Olympic Games, that has been thrown out of the window,

:57:20. > :57:29.that is just the semi-final. Powell was out quick. When Gatlin got

:57:29. > :57:34.moving, and no holding him back. He wasn't flat out all the way through.

:57:34. > :57:39.He has announced himself that he is here to do business. Asafa Powell I

:57:39. > :57:45.always expected to explode at the blocks. He really focused and kept

:57:45. > :57:51.working towards the line. Justin Gatlin kept looking around thinking,

:57:51. > :57:59.where are they? Impressive run by him. Strong at the blocks, very

:57:59. > :58:07.long stride. Putting a lot of power through his feet. Just glancing

:58:07. > :58:16.around. Let's go, are the blocks. Segers long strides, completely

:58:16. > :58:20.different to Asafa Powell. His stride length is long. Glances over,

:58:20. > :58:30.quite cheeky. He will not be able to do that in the final, that is

:58:30. > :58:33.

:58:33. > :58:42.for sure. He was good and Powell was run out of the second place. A

:58:42. > :58:51.new national record for Martina. Further down, James Dasaolu, 10.18.

:58:51. > :58:56.7th place. You needed a rest after the last couple of days, at the

:58:56. > :59:00.emotions, but you have acquitted yourself ready well. My heats

:59:00. > :59:05.yesterday were really good but today expected to run a bit quicker.

:59:05. > :59:10.Got off to a good start but didn't stay with the rest of the guys.

:59:10. > :59:14.seemed relaxed at the start, he smiled when you were introduced.

:59:14. > :59:18.Obviously the crowd are great and I had to acknowledge them. Once I

:59:18. > :59:22.went into my blocks are refocused. What were you thinking

:59:22. > :59:24.realistically, it did you think you could make the final? I wanted to

:59:24. > :59:34.run a personal best and hopefully that would have got me into the

:59:34. > :59:44.final. Went slower than my heat so disappointed. The women's triple

:59:44. > :59:48.

:59:48. > :59:58.jump final on the way, of Kettering about when -- Caterine Ibarguen.

:59:58. > :00:04.

:00:04. > :00:12.Heavily strapped, not going to help her. She goes into the lead. We

:00:12. > :00:16.have got Aldama in this. We had the men's long jump yesterday, very

:00:16. > :00:26.open. We know what happened, Greg Rutherford has just been down to

:00:26. > :00:31.

:00:31. > :00:37.the commentary box, talked about if there are any TV screens down

:00:37. > :00:46.there, he knows where the cameras are, doesn't he? He certainly does,

:00:46. > :00:56.I bet he does know just how fast Justin Gatlin Ryan. -- ran. There

:00:56. > :01:00.is Yamile a Aldama. What a journey it has been. The world indoor

:01:00. > :01:10.champion. If she gets it together she could be right in the next.

:01:10. > :01:12.

:01:12. > :01:18.Just a little bit of hesitation. Possibly could be in the lead. It

:01:18. > :01:23.is hard out there for the athletes to get a rhythm because of the wind.

:01:24. > :01:28.She will jump further than that, she is very experienced. That was

:01:28. > :01:38.just a little gentle opener. Would have been nice to have gone long in

:01:38. > :01:56.

:01:56. > :02:00.the first round. Is this evening when Usain Bolt comes to life.

:02:00. > :02:10.Justin Gatlin get within 200 this of his lifetime best. Surely this

:02:10. > :02:10.

:02:11. > :02:20.will be his night. There is his mother and publicist, one of his

:02:21. > :02:22.

:02:22. > :02:32.many managers. Jamaica in the crowd will be here in force, this is the

:02:32. > :03:07.

:03:07. > :03:16.in the front. Dwain Chambers, run one of his fastest times ever in

:03:16. > :03:22.the previous round to reach this stage, 10.02, the British No. One.

:03:22. > :03:32.And Daniel Bailey, 4th and 5th in the last two World Championships,

:03:32. > :03:33.

:03:33. > :03:43.10.10 this year. This guy could be a surprise. Ryan Bailey of the

:03:43. > :03:47.

:03:47. > :03:55.United States, he ran 9.88 in his medals from Beijing. The 100 metres

:03:55. > :04:00.and the relay. Trinidad and Tobago's Richard Thompson. From the

:04:00. > :04:10.Zambia, a man who used to live in Great Britain, a former Yorkshire

:04:10. > :04:25.

:04:25. > :04:35.and English champion, Gerald Finley. first two will make it through

:04:35. > :04:44.

:04:44. > :04:48.automatically to the final. That is of his life to make it through here,

:04:48. > :04:52.there are some class act in this field, not just Usain Bolt but

:04:52. > :05:00.quite a few others as well. Usain Bolt, the world record holder, the

:05:00. > :05:06.fastest man who has ever lived, goes in lane four. Bolt has a

:05:06. > :05:13.decent start, so has Chambers. SEAL is going well. Here goes Usain Bolt,

:05:13. > :05:22.turning it on. Ryan Bailey, the American, claims the second

:05:22. > :05:28.qualifying spot. 9.874 Usain Bolt. Dare I say it, flattening a little

:05:28. > :05:32.bit, but he is in shape. A wry smile on the face of Dwain Chambers.

:05:33. > :05:41.It will be interesting to see how fast he has run, the fastest

:05:41. > :05:44.loser's spot at the moment is 9.94 and 10.04. Richard Thompson has run

:05:45. > :05:52.10.02, so Dwain Chambers will not go through to the final. But he did

:05:52. > :05:57.run well, no doubt about it, his personal best is 10.05. Look at the

:05:57. > :06:00.return to form of Usain Bolt. Anybody who thought he was not in

:06:00. > :06:07.shape, he has answered those questions straight away. Out of the

:06:07. > :06:12.blocks well enough, as sufficient, nothing to special. He literally

:06:12. > :06:17.strides the crossed the line for a 9.87 performance. Brilliant. A lot

:06:17. > :06:25.of time we talk about the acceleration, when people come out

:06:25. > :06:35.of the blocks, how do people do it, but he demonstrated how people are

:06:35. > :07:02.

:07:02. > :07:07.supposed to do it. It was lovely to time for Ryan Bailey. He is in line

:07:07. > :07:13.for a possible all a very own position, Richard Thompson. Still a

:07:13. > :07:21.fast time for the British No. 1. He will not make it. Let's hear how he

:07:21. > :07:26.feels about that race. Tell everybody your first reaction.

:07:26. > :07:31.A fast time as was yesterday, nonetheless sum up the whole

:07:31. > :07:38.occasion. I wanted to do well and get to the final, I am happy to be

:07:38. > :07:44.here. I really am. I am gutted I didn't make the final, but you

:07:44. > :07:49.cannot have it all. Was it worth all the heartache? Worth every

:07:49. > :07:52.moment, to feel that atmosphere, money cannot buy that, I am glad I

:07:52. > :07:57.fought this hard to get to this position. I look forward to round

:07:57. > :08:05.two, whenever that is. Tummy about running alongside Usain Bolt and

:08:05. > :08:15.your verdict? He is flying. I thought I had him and killed 60m

:08:15. > :08:43.

:08:43. > :08:53.then I ran out of petrol. He has in the semi-finals, I was impressed.

:08:53. > :09:08.

:09:08. > :09:18.that will take the lead. Army net started at 40.10, quite a strong

:09:18. > :09:30.

:09:30. > :09:40.women's triple jump competition. She won the Ukrainian Championships.

:09:40. > :09:52.

:09:52. > :10:02.ready to go. Kemar Hyman of the Cayman Island not starting so there

:10:02. > :10:11.

:10:11. > :10:21.will only be eight of them. Adam coach was watching the first heat

:10:21. > :10:26.

:10:26. > :10:30.of the semi-final and as a good luck. He cannot wait to go. He was

:10:31. > :10:40.in one of the easier qualification heats. Tyson Gay has just seen his

:10:41. > :10:46.

:10:46. > :10:51.team mate. Return to good form by Gatlin, has Lunn -- won the London

:10:52. > :11:01.race since then. The surprise package, the Japanese comic new

:11:02. > :11:05.

:11:05. > :11:15.personal best to qualify. The world champion, Yohan Blake. Known as the

:11:15. > :11:32.

:11:32. > :11:39.beast. Nice guy. What an atmosphere he is enjoying every second of this.

:11:39. > :11:48.Derrick Atkins of the Bahamas. Hasn't broken 10 seconds this year,

:11:48. > :11:56.has done in the past, though. And then Warner from Canada. This is

:11:56. > :12:04.the easiest of the semi-finals, Adam Gemili has got a really good

:12:04. > :12:14.chance of doing well here. And anything close to 10 seconds, 10.02,

:12:14. > :12:36.

:12:36. > :12:46.or quicker, if he was third, would Gay do here? Photo-finish numbers

:12:46. > :13:03.

:13:03. > :13:10.Gay. Adam Gemili trying to get involved, well done to the

:13:10. > :13:16.youngster. Finished very strongly. The three winners, very impressive.

:13:16. > :13:21.Tyson Gay may be holding back a little. This young man, third in an

:13:21. > :13:25.Olympic final at the age of 18, what an experience. I hope he is

:13:25. > :13:30.loving this experience. He is looking to see if he has made it,

:13:30. > :13:35.10.06, just outside. Still a tremendous performance by Adam

:13:35. > :13:38.Gemili, he did not embarrass himself at all in this type of

:13:38. > :13:43.company and he has announced himself he will be a contender in

:13:43. > :13:47.years to come, great performance by him. We must look further up on the

:13:47. > :13:55.field, a head-to-head race between Tyson Gay and Yohan Blake. I think

:13:55. > :14:02.Tyson Gay, he slightly mistimed his first couple of steps. But once

:14:02. > :14:06.these two got going I think they were just playing with each other.

:14:06. > :14:10.Out the blocks, Adam Gemili, very fast, very explosive. One of the

:14:10. > :14:15.best part of his race. I am so looking forward to seeing this

:14:15. > :14:21.young man run indoors. Get up quickly, it moves on through the

:14:21. > :14:25.field, and he seems to get caught with everybody else's movement as

:14:25. > :14:30.he seems to get quicker and quicker as he gets towards the line, really

:14:30. > :14:35.showing he has got good plans for the future. He has got a great

:14:35. > :14:39.future. So happy to see that. He is chatting now with Phil Jones.

:14:39. > :14:43.A real sense of frustration from Adam. What is the problem? I have

:14:43. > :14:51.been working really hard with my coach recently to get my start,

:14:51. > :14:55.help me out and it wasn't really there. 10.06, I am happy, I am all

:14:55. > :15:01.right with that. Just a little fraction that cost you a place in

:15:01. > :15:05.the final. It cost me a lot. Obviously I was behind, I had to

:15:05. > :15:11.try and maintain my form. I came third in the semi-final of the

:15:11. > :15:16.Olympics, that is great. 18 years of age, you only picked up the

:15:16. > :15:21.sport seriously in January. Exactly. And very pleased that I have come

:15:21. > :15:25.here and I have done what I needed to do. I can get better and better.

:15:25. > :15:33.You have got a great future, all the very best. Can I just wish my

:15:33. > :15:37.mum a happy birthday? Thank you very much. Happy birthday indeed

:15:37. > :15:43.and what a nice present, very good performance from Adam Gemili in

:15:43. > :15:51.third place, just outside his personal best. The two qualifiers

:15:51. > :15:55.in the final later on tonight, Yohan Blake and Tyson Gay.

:15:55. > :16:05.The big guns or stand their ground and the men's 100m final line-up

:16:05. > :16:06.

:16:06. > :16:16.will be exactly what we hoped it would be, using Blake, -- Yohan

:16:16. > :16:22.

:16:22. > :16:30.Blake, Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay. What He is ready, he ran at the Jamaican

:16:30. > :16:39.trials to get second place. 9.8 is not slow. People have a lot of fun

:16:39. > :16:45.talking about Blake. We like rivalries. But look at this, great

:16:45. > :16:53.Stark from Usain Bolt, he doesn't have to get a great start. Here is

:16:53. > :17:00.where he is at his best, when he separates. At 60m, the race is over.

:17:00. > :17:04.Reminiscent of the Beijing race. The race was over for him at that

:17:05. > :17:13.point. How much quicker could he have gone? At least two-tenths of a

:17:13. > :17:18.second, it could be more. We will talk more about that, 9:50pm, the

:17:18. > :17:22.final of the men's 100 metres. And last night we were getting too was

:17:22. > :17:32.the closing stages of a spectacular men's 10,000m and you know what

:17:32. > :17:37.

:17:37. > :17:43.What a night it was last night. I don't know if Mo Farah had any

:17:43. > :17:47.sleep. It was a pleasure to be here, he was our third gold medal. I know

:17:47. > :17:53.for the man sitting next to me he took great pleasure in watching him

:17:53. > :17:56.when, not only because it was a great when, as we see Bekele stay

:17:57. > :18:01.put for the bronze medal. Finished ahead of his brother who could not

:18:01. > :18:06.defend his title. They hear the noise and what it means for British

:18:06. > :18:16.athletics. You have waited years for it to happen and then such a

:18:16. > :18:20.

:18:20. > :18:27.brilliant race. Two men coached by A Keighley, the brother reformer

:18:27. > :18:32.champion, the training partner of Mo Farah, he ran it terrific race.

:18:32. > :18:36.It was competitive and close. But for us, in Great Britain, the

:18:36. > :18:41.distance running community has been inspired for the next generation,

:18:41. > :18:48.has been inspired by more -- by Mo Farah. He has been a delight, a joy

:18:48. > :18:55.to behold. He is now the great Mo Farah. And listen to the stadium in

:18:55. > :19:05.two seconds. Gold medallist and Olympic champion, representing

:19:05. > :19:14.Great Britain, Mo Farah. What a moment for Mo Farah. The stadium

:19:14. > :19:23.erupts come as it did last night. In adulation, in respect and in

:19:23. > :19:27.joyful celebration. 27.30, the winning time, that is irrelevant.

:19:27. > :19:31.The manner of his victory suggests more to come in the 5,000 metres as

:19:31. > :19:37.well. Talking to his nutritionist this morning, he has done a

:19:37. > :19:46.fantastic job with him, as has UK Athletics. Now, the moment we have

:19:46. > :19:55.CROWD: # God save our gracious Queen!

:19:55. > :20:05.# Long live our noble Queen! # God save the Queen!

:20:05. > :20:06.

:20:06. > :20:16.# Send her victorious. # Happy and glorious.

:20:16. > :20:28.

:20:29. > :20:33.# Long to reign over us. Well, it has been a long time

:20:33. > :20:38.coming, Mo Farah giving everyone what they wanted but giving himself

:20:38. > :20:43.what he deserved. Well done. We look forward to seeing you back in

:20:43. > :20:53.the 5,000 metres. The heats are on Wednesday. Well done to his

:20:53. > :20:58.

:20:59. > :21:02.training partner for the USA, their It is very and hard to be impartial

:21:02. > :21:06.on occasions like that. I am delighted to say that our

:21:06. > :21:16.commentary team last night, they were right in The Thick Of It in

:21:16. > :21:43.

:21:43. > :21:49.It was all for that! Denise is very proud of her response there. That

:21:49. > :21:53.was brilliant, Denise, absolutely brilliant. It was. If you are

:21:53. > :21:57.wondering, I was trying to hear what we are doing next. There is so

:21:57. > :22:01.much noise I have no idea. It is not an infrequent occurrence. The

:22:01. > :22:05.whole thing about these Games, everybody in Team GB is feeding of

:22:05. > :22:10.everybody else so after the unbelievable demolition of Roger

:22:10. > :22:16.Federer on Centre Court today, to win the gold medal, he had this to

:22:16. > :22:20.say about Mo Farah last night. of the events I watched, I watched

:22:20. > :22:26.the athletics last night, it was amazing. Did it inspire you? Yes,

:22:26. > :22:32.it was amazing, the way Mo Farah one. I do 400-metre repetitions in

:22:32. > :22:39.my training and when I am completely fresh I can run it in 57

:22:39. > :22:43.seconds. His last lap after 9,600 metres was 53 seconds. It is

:22:43. > :22:48.unbelievable fitness and it gave me a boost coming in today. The

:22:48. > :22:53.momentum the team has had the last couple of days. The triumphant Andy

:22:53. > :22:55.Murray today won gold and silver at tennis. Here with me, I don't know

:22:56. > :23:01.what you saw the gymnastics earlier today but it really was quite

:23:01. > :23:04.something. Two young men who joined me earlier a few days it that so --

:23:04. > :23:08.days ago after winning bronze in the team event, silver for Louis

:23:09. > :23:15.Smith today and Max haste -- and Max Whitlock, bronze. It was so

:23:15. > :23:20.close, Louis Smith, factions from a goal. It was too close for comfort.

:23:20. > :23:23.I performed better than I have done in my life and to come so close to

:23:23. > :23:27.gold and get bumped down to silver, it was hard to swallow but I am

:23:27. > :23:31.very happy. You seemed calm going on to the pommel horse and with

:23:31. > :23:35.such pressure on you, I was so impressed by that. Did you feel

:23:35. > :23:38.that wait inside as well? It was a friend I was trying to put on,

:23:38. > :23:43.trying to trick myself into thinking everything was fine. I

:23:43. > :23:47.went out like usual listening to my reggae music. I managed to perform

:23:47. > :23:51.the rest -- the best routine I have ever done in my life. You had to

:23:51. > :23:54.wait and the last competitor went, the Hungarian come on one of the

:23:54. > :23:58.top men in the game. It must have been incredibly nerve-wracking. Did

:23:58. > :24:03.you think you had edged it? Personally, I thought I had done

:24:03. > :24:07.enough to get the gold medal. Waiting for your sport to come up

:24:07. > :24:12.is a horrible feeling, a weird feeling come but I have to give

:24:12. > :24:16.credit to the guy who beat me. He has a fantastic competitor, a world

:24:16. > :24:20.champion. I will be back with a vengeance in four years.

:24:20. > :24:26.Whitlock, a bronze medal, you must be delighted. Was it your aim to

:24:26. > :24:29.get a medal? My aim was to do was good job as I could and my target

:24:29. > :24:33.was to get in an individual final, but to come home with two bronze

:24:33. > :24:36.medals, I could not ask for more than that. You have done

:24:36. > :24:42.brilliantly well. Louis Smith, I was so impressed with the way you

:24:42. > :24:45.handled that decision, the fact that you lost by a fraction. You

:24:45. > :24:50.did it in a very gentleman, sporting way. A real example to

:24:50. > :24:54.sportsmen everywhere. Thank you. The guy I got beaten by will be

:24:54. > :24:58.known as one of the world's best pommel horse workers and to come

:24:58. > :25:02.second was a pleasure. Thank you very much indeed and many

:25:02. > :25:12.congratulations. It is time for the semi-finals of the women's 1,500

:25:12. > :25:19.

:25:19. > :25:25.one British athlete in each of them, Ross Murray. Let's hope the young

:25:25. > :25:35.man can make it through. It will be a tall order. The first Pride go

:25:35. > :25:44.

:25:44. > :25:48.another person in Beijing, but was subsequently disqualified for a

:25:48. > :25:55.doping offence and to prop became - - and Kiprop became champion. He

:25:55. > :26:00.has dominated world 1,500 metre running since then. Gebremedihin

:26:00. > :26:05.will be a danger, anyone in this semi-final is a danger. Brendan, a

:26:05. > :26:09.quick word on Ross Murray. He has come on fantastically this year,

:26:09. > :26:19.but he has always been a great talent? He has been a talent from

:26:19. > :26:19.

:26:19. > :26:29.being a young man. Makhloufi is tough and strong. Ross Murray

:26:29. > :26:30.

:26:30. > :26:36.started the year at 3.43, now 3.34. You have to appreciate the crowd.

:26:36. > :26:40.He has his own act now, well done. This is his first major

:26:40. > :26:43.international, the Olympic Games semi-final. There are ten athletes

:26:43. > :26:48.who have run faster than Ross Murray but I promise you, they will

:26:48. > :26:55.not all beaten today. He will respond to this. He is a young man

:26:55. > :27:05.with a big appetite. So the Olympic 1,500 metre semi-final, right on

:27:05. > :27:06.

:27:06. > :27:11.the inside in the Qatari strip is the world junior champion, Driouch.

:27:11. > :27:16.Kiprop is round the outside, the European champion Ingebrigtsen is

:27:16. > :27:20.from Norway. I have mentioned a few titles, it gives you an indication

:27:20. > :27:24.of the job at hand for Ross Murray. He has gone to the back, that is OK

:27:24. > :27:28.at this stage. He has good speed and is learning all the time,

:27:28. > :27:31.certainly at this level where to put himself a place himself and the

:27:31. > :27:37.Olympic champion is controlling it at the front. Ross Murray things,

:27:37. > :27:40.OK, I will get closer, he is good. He is right to do that but it is

:27:40. > :27:46.very slow. The Olympic champion is dictating the pace. It is

:27:46. > :27:51.excessively slow, 46 seconds for 300 metres. They are jogging. It

:27:52. > :27:56.looks as though they are jogging. This is difficult, the speed of the

:27:56. > :28:01.first heat and the qualifying fastest loser will be removed and

:28:01. > :28:04.the advantage comes in the second. There is Gregson from Australia

:28:04. > :28:11.moving up on the outside. 63 seconds on the first lap, it is

:28:11. > :28:15.tough to have a fast time. Ross Murray needs to finish in the first

:28:15. > :28:19.five and keep out of trouble because they are tightly packed

:28:19. > :28:23.together and he needs to respond to the crowd. They will cheer him all

:28:23. > :28:26.the way. It is for him they are cheering. They will know that

:28:26. > :28:32.Kiprop is champion but they know that the young Briton is here at

:28:32. > :28:38.will do his best. Manzano is quick and always manages to find a way

:28:38. > :28:42.through, the American champion. He is good in slow races. Gregson and

:28:42. > :28:46.Murray are good friends. Makhloufi, who was very impressive in

:28:46. > :28:50.qualification, just looking for room on the inside as they start to

:28:50. > :28:58.push and shove and they want to get going. Ross Murray has got into a

:28:58. > :29:05.good position, got out of trouble very nicely. They are moving into

:29:05. > :29:09.lane two. Driouch is stuck on the inside. Kiprop is having a look,

:29:09. > :29:16.another slow lap. Now the race is on. Ross Murray is in a good

:29:16. > :29:20.position. It is a test of 800 metres speed rather than endurance.

:29:20. > :29:25.Ross Murray -- Ross Murray ers on the side of endurance. The most

:29:25. > :29:32.important thing is to take close order and don't give them a start

:29:32. > :29:36.at the bell. They have to work on to the outside. This is boiling and

:29:36. > :29:41.bubbling, the last lap being dictated by Kiprop, the Olympic

:29:41. > :29:44.champion. He is vulnerable in a slow races and there is Ross Murray

:29:44. > :29:49.with a wall of athletes in front of him. He has to try to get out of

:29:49. > :29:53.that. He had got a good position but it is messy again. He is not

:29:53. > :29:57.too far off the lead and he has to have a clear run, not panic. They

:29:58. > :30:01.are starting to kick at the front. Wheating at the back is taking the

:30:01. > :30:07.long route round. Murray is starting to go down the back

:30:08. > :30:13.straight. Kiprop, Driouch and Gebremedihin at the front. Their

:30:13. > :30:17.event. They are running away from Ross Murray. There is bumping. Ross

:30:17. > :30:22.Murray is being tested now, unfortunately. He will keep

:30:22. > :30:27.fighting. The top five will go through and two fastest losers

:30:27. > :30:32.spots and these are the sprinters. I have never seen this man run like

:30:32. > :30:37.this before, never, that is unusual to see, the Algerian being this

:30:37. > :30:45.good. Look at Kiprop struggling. Manzano does well. Right on the

:30:45. > :30:49.inside, Ingebrigtsen, they are the five. Ross Murray coming in with

:30:49. > :30:52.Weeting, round about night -- coming in with Wheating. He will

:30:53. > :30:59.learn from that, getting to the semi-final was as good as we would

:30:59. > :31:04.expect. I am not sure what I am watching with Radcliffe and there,

:31:04. > :31:09.surprising in the heats and equally eye-catching in a semi-final --

:31:09. > :31:13.Radcliffe. -- Makhloufi. The Olympic champion was left wanting.

:31:13. > :31:16.Ross Murray, baptism of fire and the Olympic semi-final but he has

:31:16. > :31:21.come a long way, giving them too much start in the back straight,

:31:21. > :31:27.getting chopped four speed. We always thought it was going to be

:31:27. > :31:33.difficult with that extension. Look at that loose, extending in the

:31:33. > :31:39.finishing straight, running like a sprinter. It was a sprint race.

:31:39. > :31:42.Sometimes Kiprop is vulnerable in a sprint finish but here comes the

:31:42. > :31:46.others, nipping through on the inside is Ingebrigtsen, the

:31:46. > :31:50.European champion. They will not be fast qualifiers for this round but

:31:50. > :31:57.he does not seem to be troubled at all, Mac loose, he looks totally

:31:57. > :32:02.comfortable there. Kiprop, the reigning champion, the man who was

:32:02. > :32:12.thought would win this race, now there is a question over Kiprop's

:32:12. > :32:17.

:32:17. > :32:27.ability to compete in a slow run triple jump. Not much happening at

:32:27. > :32:27.

:32:27. > :32:35.the moment. Still the Ukrainian, 14.56. Kimberly Williams in third

:32:36. > :32:41.place. That is a little bit more like it. One of the Troubles

:32:41. > :32:46.athletes have, they want to relax those first few strides, you have

:32:47. > :32:56.to work hard, it compromises you take-off position and sometimes

:32:56. > :33:06.accuracy is compromised. Very powerful, it bar when, into the

:33:06. > :33:11.

:33:11. > :33:21.lead. -- Caterine Ibarguen. Yamile Aldama is still struggling. The

:33:21. > :33:23.

:33:23. > :33:31.world indoor champion now. 14.54, the third place at the moment. It

:33:31. > :33:33.is big. That is better. That is towards 50 metres. It is some

:33:33. > :33:40.statistic. Since September to theirs and intent there have been

:33:40. > :33:48.no legal chums higher than 50 metres. That looks like a massive

:33:48. > :33:58.jump. It may have been deceptive. It could well have been part of her

:33:58. > :33:59.

:33:59. > :34:09.shoulder or arm making a mark. 14.98, the big lead. Halfway

:34:09. > :34:09.

:34:09. > :34:19.through this final. Both Yamile Aldama is down in 10th place, it

:34:19. > :34:21.

:34:21. > :34:31.used to improve to get into the top eight. -- she needs to improve. A

:34:31. > :34:36.

:34:36. > :34:40.absolutely crucial. Need something above 14.20. It is better. It is

:34:40. > :34:50.going to be a nervous wait. You can see the strapping on her shoulders,

:34:50. > :34:55.

:34:55. > :35:05.she injured herself in Rome. Well behind the board. Was 4th in Sydney,

:35:05. > :35:09.

:35:09. > :35:18.in Athens 50. She will get three of Kiprop who isn't good in slowly-

:35:18. > :35:25.run races. Ross Murray, a learning process for him, conducted himself

:35:25. > :35:34.well in the heats. He is with Phil. Your first Olympics, that was a

:35:34. > :35:43.real baptism. Disappointed. I think I am better than that. I am not

:35:43. > :35:45.sure what went wrong. I suppose if you told me a year ago, or even

:35:45. > :35:48.eight months I would be disappointed with missing out on

:35:48. > :35:56.the final of the Olympics I would probably laugh in your face. Just

:35:56. > :36:00.one of these things, I have got to learn from it, most of these guys

:36:00. > :36:05.have been going hard for four years, I've had six or seven months

:36:05. > :36:13.training. What is the biggest thing you will take from this experience?

:36:13. > :36:17.The whole thing. The crowd, everything like that. I will look

:36:17. > :36:25.back on this and think it was a fantastic experience. But I will

:36:25. > :36:35.use it as motivation. I will try to do better. Get back into training.

:36:35. > :36:41.

:36:41. > :36:45.semi-final, Andrew Baddeley on the inside aiming to make his second

:36:45. > :36:50.consecutive Olympic final. Up against very strong opposition,

:36:50. > :36:54.Silas Kiplagat, one of two Kenyans in the field, Nicholas, the Olympic

:36:54. > :37:01.silver-medallist from four years ago, just running towards the back

:37:01. > :37:11.of the pack. Wearing the famous silver fern of New Zealand. A tough

:37:11. > :37:13.

:37:13. > :37:17.ask for Andrew Baddeley. Leaving at the moment, the runner from Bahrain.

:37:17. > :37:20.The advantage of the second heat is they know what they have got to do,

:37:20. > :37:24.seven of the qualifiers should easily come from this heat which

:37:24. > :37:29.makes it easier for Andrew Baddeley, at the back of the pack there, out

:37:29. > :37:33.of trouble, gives himself a chance. There he is, right at the back.

:37:33. > :37:37.When I think about the final of the men's 1,500 metres the chairman of

:37:37. > :37:41.the organising committee in his own event, certainly wants a British

:37:41. > :37:47.athlete in the final. Andrew Baddeley is the one, the pressure

:37:47. > :37:54.is on now. The leader is going quick, Andrew is watching Nick

:37:54. > :37:58.Willis. Already they away faster. Andrew Baddeley has got to work his

:37:58. > :38:08.way through the field, finish in the first seven at this sort of

:38:08. > :38:11.

:38:11. > :38:15.pace. That is the right thing to do. Chepseba has got a lead. Very good

:38:15. > :38:20.Moroccan in third place. Nicholas sitting back in 9th or 10th place.

:38:20. > :38:23.Andrew Baddeley is sitting right at the back. Chepseba or, third

:38:23. > :38:32.fastest in the world, the Kenyans are dominating the world rankings

:38:32. > :38:36.with a top three. This is much quicker. Andrew Baddeley has to dig

:38:36. > :38:42.in. He is getting a lid on a plate for them, a test of his running

:38:42. > :38:51.ability. These tactics are dead easy, you have just got to follow

:38:51. > :38:56.the leader. Still a good pace. Andrew Baddeley needs to be in that

:38:56. > :38:59.group, he is working his way through. A bit of a stumble there.

:38:59. > :39:07.He just slipped round the inside. He needs to move and put himself a

:39:07. > :39:13.bit closer. He is in 10th place, he needs to be 7th. The Frenchman who

:39:13. > :39:21.suffered worst out of that. He is towards the back of the field.

:39:21. > :39:27.Chepseba of Kenya, as they head towards the bell, the Kenyan coming

:39:27. > :39:30.through his Kiplagat, they are hoping to dominate. The German a

:39:30. > :39:34.quick finisher as well. Getting a bit nervous for Andrew Baddeley,

:39:34. > :39:39.hope he has got something down the back straight in the finishing

:39:39. > :39:42.straight because they are starting to gather momentum. There is Nick

:39:42. > :39:52.Willis in the famous black vest of New Zealand. Andrew Baddeley is

:39:52. > :39:54.BDDP, going hard, trying to get there. He has got to beat the three

:39:54. > :40:04.athletes under two Kenyans are dictating the pace, dictating the

:40:04. > :40:04.

:40:04. > :40:12.race. The Moroccan looking superb. Kiplagat and Chepseba, second and

:40:12. > :40:21.third. Nicholas thinks he can win the Olympic final. But rather like

:40:21. > :40:29.the first heat we have and how right leader, he is sprinting away.

:40:29. > :40:39.Chepseba qualifies as well. Andrew Baddeley looking rather forlorn

:40:39. > :40:41.

:40:41. > :40:46.there, he tried, we think he was in about 8th place. A disappointing

:40:46. > :40:52.run by Andrew Baddeley, the pace was laid down, he had to finish in

:40:52. > :40:56.the first seven. He was giving them far too much starch. The two

:40:56. > :41:06.Kenyans running smoothly. Doesn't make Willis in fourth place,

:41:06. > :41:06.

:41:06. > :41:10.looking over his shoulder. Chepseba has got no problems at all.

:41:10. > :41:16.Nicholas looks impressive, he is getting better, timing is right.

:41:16. > :41:20.Here comes a charge from Andrew Baddeley on the edge of the picture.

:41:20. > :41:26.8th place, he is out of it, we don't have a runner in the final of

:41:26. > :41:30.the Olympic 1,500 metres, that is disappointing. Seb Coe is very

:41:30. > :41:35.disappointed. Andrew Baddeley will be very disappointed. A

:41:36. > :41:43.disappointing run, he had every chance, just had to run 3.36, 3.37,

:41:43. > :41:46.just wasn't able to do it today. Disappointing. The cut has been

:41:47. > :41:55.made in the women's triple jump final. You mean a Aldama has made

:41:55. > :42:01.it in 6th place. -- Yamile Aldama. The Colombian in the silver-medal

:42:01. > :42:08.position. The Ukrainian in third. Both of those are within the

:42:08. > :42:18.compass, a 39-year-old Aldama, she is 40 years old in nine days, a

:42:18. > :42:19.

:42:19. > :42:23.remarkable longevity. A hop and step was good, she just lost it.

:42:23. > :42:28.She has got this beautiful, fluid technique. Good to see that smile

:42:28. > :42:32.back. She knows it is in her legs, that is a great feeling. The first

:42:32. > :42:37.time she has hit the ball. Just lost momentum there, couldn't keep

:42:37. > :42:44.it going. If she had have done she would have been way over at the

:42:44. > :42:54.required distance. Lovely lady who has served triple jumping so well

:42:54. > :43:01.over the years. 14.32 in the 4th round. Just have a look at the

:43:01. > :43:11.results of that last race. Kiplagat qualifying, Nick Willis, silver-

:43:11. > :43:15.medallist four years ago. Andrew Baddeley there, 3.36, much faster

:43:15. > :43:19.than the winner of the first semi- final, but when you are drawn in

:43:19. > :43:29.the second you know what you have got to beat and he didn't make it

:43:29. > :43:32.Earlier today Britain struck gold yet again, Britannia ruled the

:43:32. > :43:37.waves as Ben Ainslie won a gold medal for the 4th successive

:43:37. > :43:42.Olympic Games in the Finn class and I am delighted to say he joins me

:43:42. > :43:50.live down in Weymouth. Many congratulations. You have done it

:43:50. > :43:56.again. This time they didn't all go your own way. -- it didn't. It was

:43:56. > :44:03.a tough event, a lot of competition, particularly from Jonas. A tough

:44:03. > :44:07.fight all the way through. I managed to drag the points back and

:44:07. > :44:12.got it right but it was a difficult race, the wind was very shifty, a

:44:12. > :44:16.tricky course. But we had a lot of fancy it. That made the huge

:44:16. > :44:22.difference. It didn't seem right there was a

:44:22. > :44:28.lot of wind, you were drifting slowly. There was somebody else

:44:28. > :44:32.ahead, you are quite well back but always just one place ahead of

:44:32. > :44:38.Christenson he was the big threat to throw out. Did you feel in

:44:38. > :44:43.control? I would like to say I controlled the race the whole way

:44:43. > :44:47.through, but no, it was difficult. Jonas and I had a bit of a jump on

:44:47. > :44:55.the rest of the Fleet Sir we were keeping an eye on each other,

:44:55. > :44:59.basically who beat he would win a gold. At times, with the wind

:44:59. > :45:02.changing, it was difficult to get that right all the time. Thankfully

:45:02. > :45:07.it came together and I held that lead over the Danish sailor to take

:45:07. > :45:10.the gold. Four successive gold medals, the

:45:10. > :45:18.British sailor in Olympic history. Try and describe how that makes you

:45:18. > :45:21.feel. I am really proud. It is more for

:45:21. > :45:25.everybody who has supported me over the years, as a youngster growing

:45:25. > :45:29.up in Cornwall, learning to sail there, and everybody over the years

:45:29. > :45:32.who has helped me and supported me, it is really for them, once again a

:45:32. > :45:41.huge thanks for all the support and the support from everybody across

:45:41. > :45:44.the nation for Team GB. Will you go on to Rio, 2016 and try

:45:44. > :45:48.and equal Sir Steve Redgrave, five gold medals?

:45:48. > :45:54.Will you still be doing much of the day by then? I don't know, it is a

:45:54. > :45:59.long way off. The Olympics is a great event, so glad I have been a

:45:59. > :46:05.part of it, so we will see. Thank you very much for speaking to

:46:05. > :46:10.us. Well done. Brilliant effort. Appreciated by everybody in the

:46:10. > :46:15.country, thank you. I'm sure many of you will be

:46:15. > :46:22.watching hour coverage in high- definition but if you have all the

:46:22. > :46:26.relevant equipment you can enjoy the rest of the action in 3 D.

:46:26. > :46:36.Simply switch to the BBC HD Channel, but on your glasses and if you have

:46:36. > :46:38.

:46:38. > :46:45.I think we have some hockey action to show you, a fantastic game,

:46:45. > :46:48.Australia against Great Britain. Australia are 3-0 up. There is

:46:48. > :46:55.James Tindall, a fantastic goalscorer, getting an equaliser

:46:55. > :47:00.with four minutes to go. It finished 3-3. It means Great

:47:00. > :47:04.Britain still had chances of making it through to the last four and

:47:04. > :47:09.marking your card, I think it is tomorrow night, Great Britain's

:47:09. > :47:14.women play Australia, --, they play us -- they play the Netherlands to

:47:14. > :47:18.see if they can qualify for the quarter-finals. Luke Campbell from

:47:18. > :47:22.Hull, one of our real serious contenders for a medal, will be

:47:22. > :47:28.fighting shortly. Wherever you look, there are medal contenders. One of

:47:28. > :47:33.the you look here, we are eyeing the 100 metres final at 9:50pm

:47:33. > :47:39.tonight. If you missed the semi- finals earlier on, Blake was

:47:39. > :47:46.fantastic, Bolt was Bolt. That is all you need to know. We are very

:47:46. > :47:49.excited. Moving on now to the semi- finals of the men's 400m. Is the

:47:49. > :47:53.400m the last of the sprint events, or is it the first of the endurance

:47:53. > :47:57.events? Added a fantastic interview with Martyn Rooney and that

:47:57. > :48:02.programme today, congratulations to doing -- to those people doing the

:48:02. > :48:07.daily programme, it is terrific. He says, you have to be stupid to run

:48:07. > :48:11.the 400 metres. It hurts so much. You wonder why you're doing it,

:48:11. > :48:21.then you go and do it again. Colin Jackson offers us his guide to what

:48:21. > :48:25.

:48:25. > :48:32.The 400 metres is considered one of the most brutal events in track and

:48:32. > :48:38.field. Why? Because the body has to use two different energy sources.

:48:38. > :48:44.Anaerobic and aerobic. This event pushes both systems to the max. The

:48:44. > :48:49.first 200 metres is a sprint, so the big, fast muscle fibres are

:49:15. > :49:20.winning, the second half of the race has to be at least 95% as

:49:37. > :49:45.200 metres would often be less than a second slower than his first half.

:50:05. > :50:12.Sprints are always about you come -- and you have just seen

:50:12. > :50:22.how it should be done. Henry will be on the inside. Conrad Williams

:50:50. > :50:56.World in qualification, he will have to be quicker than that here.

:50:56. > :51:05.The first two and fastest two will go through to the final. I don't

:51:05. > :51:08.think Conrad will mind me saying he has to go some here. Henry was 4th

:51:08. > :51:13.in two World Championships, indoors in Istanbul earlier on this year.

:51:13. > :51:19.It seems ages ago now, in March. And at the World Championships

:51:19. > :51:23.three years ago in Berlin. Tough in lane two for him. He came through

:51:23. > :51:28.as a fastest loser despite the fact he ran quicker than Conrad Williams.

:51:28. > :51:33.It was the look of the draw. There was some very fast heats in the

:51:33. > :51:39.first round. We will see one or two men in this race two, who ran fast.

:51:39. > :51:47.There are one or two in the other semi-finals. Levine will go in the

:51:47. > :51:56.second semi-final, Martyn Rooney in the third. Oscar Pistorius is in

:51:56. > :52:03.the second semi-final as well. Here he is, Conrad Williams. He is from

:52:03. > :52:08.Kent AC, just down the road. He has run 45.08, this year. If he could

:52:08. > :52:13.get close to that, he could get close to this man, the new European

:52:13. > :52:20.champion. He was under 45 in qualification, as was the Bahamas

:52:20. > :52:30.athlete. He has run 44.7 this year. Very impressed with this young man,

:52:30. > :52:48.

:52:48. > :52:57.a big new PB. Just 19 years of age. personal best for him to get

:52:57. > :53:02.through, 45.0. This man spends a fair bit of time in the UK. He came

:53:02. > :53:12.to Britain it must be ten years ago now, based in the north-east at

:53:12. > :53:12.

:53:12. > :54:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:54:01. > :54:06.times. So, crunch time for Conrad too much showing yet. Pindar is

:54:06. > :54:10.going well. Steven Solomon is trying to chase down Gordon, who

:54:10. > :54:20.started quickly in the first 200 metres. Conrad Williams is still

:54:20. > :54:20.

:54:21. > :54:28.involved. Conrad Williams is running very well here. This is

:54:28. > :54:35.anybody's race, here. I said that Williams would have to run the race

:54:35. > :54:43.of his life here. Solomon is finishing quickly. Gordon wins it.

:54:43. > :54:48.It is close. Pindar gets it, ahead of Solomon. 44.58. That is another

:54:48. > :54:58.personal best. So many athletes coming in the rounds and now the

:55:03. > :55:09.semi-final finding something new, round jump. She will attack this

:55:09. > :55:14.with confidence, I am sure. It is better, fractionally short of the

:55:14. > :55:21.bronze medal distance which is the Ukrainian. She will have one more

:55:21. > :55:31.jump. One more chance to try and win a medal in London. What a story

:55:31. > :55:36.

:55:36. > :55:46.that would be, after all that she improvement but she is still in 6th

:55:46. > :55:53.

:55:53. > :55:56.Tobago, huge personal best here. Very conservative through the first

:55:56. > :56:01.200 metres but he attacked this turn and put himself in a great

:56:01. > :56:09.position. Conrad Williams was in a great position but lacks speed

:56:09. > :56:14.endurance. Gordon, a huge personal best, down from 45.02-44.08, that

:56:14. > :56:19.will set him up very well for the final. He is looking at the clock.

:56:19. > :56:23.He knows that it is a fast time. Athletes know when they are running

:56:23. > :56:30.a race on personal best pace and he was a huge personal best pace. That

:56:30. > :56:36.is what you have to do at the Olympic Games. Conrad Williams, a

:56:36. > :56:41.very good attempt. Great execution through the first 200 metres. From

:56:41. > :56:44.200, to 300, he was a bit too quick perhaps and not enough to hold on

:56:44. > :56:49.to the great position he put himself in with 100 metres to go.

:56:49. > :56:53.We want to put yourself in a great position, but you can't rush it and

:56:53. > :56:58.I feel he rushed it the better at 200 metres. He took off up that

:56:58. > :57:04.point and you have to gradually get into that pace from 200 to 300. He

:57:04. > :57:11.was a bit too quick today. Conrad has with Phil now, let's find out

:57:11. > :57:14.We can't accuse you of not attacking it but you did not have

:57:14. > :57:19.it in the home straight? I wanted to attack it and give people

:57:19. > :57:25.something to cheer for. I knew it was tough to go through and I tried

:57:25. > :57:31.my best and I am glad that I went out in the race. I went out to try

:57:31. > :57:39.and win it. Through 200 metres to 300 metres, you may have gone a bit

:57:39. > :57:44.too fast? Most probably. Year, but I wanted to set the race for me

:57:44. > :57:48.under I lost about half a second there. It is something to work on.

:57:48. > :57:52.I had to go out in that race. I could not sit and wait back because

:57:52. > :57:59.yesterday I qualified as a fastest loser and I wanted to make sure I

:57:59. > :58:02.was up for it. You gave it a good go, thanks, Conrad. Cheers.

:58:02. > :58:12.Some impressive performances there. There was a personal best for

:58:12. > :58:17.

:58:17. > :58:27.for the Australian. In three-and-a-half weeks we will

:58:27. > :58:31.see a lot of Oscar Pistorius but we A remarkable athlete. The debate

:58:31. > :58:35.still goes on about whether he should be allowed to compete in

:58:35. > :58:39.able-bodied races. Would you stand, Denise Christian are he is a great

:58:39. > :58:43.guy, a great ambassador. We have come to love him in Britain, we

:58:43. > :58:48.have seen him on posters and commercials. From a humanitarian

:58:48. > :58:54.point of you, why not? Where will it end? Should he start winning,

:58:54. > :58:59.getting into finals? That would start a fresh debate, whether it is

:58:59. > :59:02.fair, or whether he has an advantage of not? Is the debate

:59:02. > :59:05.that if he was challenging for medals we might view it

:59:05. > :59:09.differently? While it is still a noble effort to get into the final,

:59:09. > :59:13.we are with him the whole way. But if he was suddenly deny Martyn

:59:13. > :59:17.Rooney a medal, we would start to say, hang on a moment? Well, if he

:59:17. > :59:20.is good enough to be here and he can qualify for the team, there is

:59:20. > :59:24.no reason why not. He should get out there and perform and let's see

:59:24. > :59:29.what happens. It is a different lead now. This is the big test,

:59:29. > :59:32.this will be come a week keep talking about athletes making

:59:32. > :59:42.history but this would be history if Oscar Pistorius was to make it

:59:42. > :59:47.

:59:47. > :59:51.through to the final of the men's of South Africa. He certainly will

:59:51. > :59:59.be getting used to this track. He will be running extensively in the

:59:59. > :00:06.Paralympic Games and a few weeks' time. This man is in good shape at

:00:06. > :00:10.the moment, 44. Mehdi five this season. There is a month not

:00:10. > :00:20.running as well as he was last year but still running quickly. -- there

:00:20. > :00:30.

:00:30. > :00:36.is a man. The world champion from man who finished second in the US

:00:36. > :00:46.trials this year, McQuay, 44.49. There is the full line-up for semi-

:00:46. > :00:52.

:00:52. > :00:56.yesterday. -- ran superbly yesterday. The first two go through.

:00:56. > :01:02.Oscar Pistorius, I think, will have to run the first 200 metres very

:01:02. > :01:08.hard indeed. He does come back strongly in the home straight. It

:01:08. > :01:18.is the first 200 metres where he lacks a bit of real speed. Levine

:01:18. > :01:32.

:01:32. > :01:39.is going to have to get close to Oscar Pistorius already. The

:01:39. > :01:44.Belgian record belonged to his twin brother Kevin. Kirani James, the

:01:44. > :01:54.world champion, striding down the back straight. Tony McQuay is going

:01:54. > :01:55.

:01:55. > :02:05.well on the outside lane. Here comes Jonathan Borlee. How much has

:02:05. > :02:12.

:02:12. > :02:19.Kirani James got left? Kirani James, Chris Brown, they will qualify.

:02:19. > :02:28.Kirani James is really in shape. That was within 100 of a second of

:02:28. > :02:33.the winner of the first semi-final. It looked very, very easy. Chris

:02:33. > :02:38.Brown qualifies for the Olympic final. I do not know if any of the

:02:38. > :02:44.losers will be fast enough to go through. That was impressive from

:02:44. > :02:50.the world champion, Michael. Yes, it was. He needed to answer some

:02:50. > :02:56.questions for himself. He was able to finish strong. Jonathan Borlee

:02:56. > :03:03.ran an incredible race yesterday. He was not in such great form. His

:03:03. > :03:10.left arm was different from the right arm. Kirani James is very

:03:10. > :03:17.gangly with his form. That will have to improve for him. That bodes

:03:17. > :03:22.well for his chances in the final of the 400m. A very relaxed run

:03:22. > :03:24.from him. I am sure that yesterday was not as very good race for him

:03:24. > :03:32.in his mind and he wanted to change in his mind and he wanted to change

:03:32. > :03:38.that today. A tremendous performance again and a nice touch

:03:38. > :03:44.at the end swapping their names. Tell me about that. Oscar is

:03:44. > :03:49.someone special to us in our sport. This is a memorable moment for me

:03:49. > :03:56.to be out here with him. A special performance bodes well for the

:03:56. > :04:06.final. We will get ready. It is going to come hot. Everybody is

:04:06. > :04:08.

:04:08. > :04:16.very motivated and very hungry. the best for that. Thank-you.

:04:16. > :04:26.is Oscar. He will be seen again in this stadium. He runs the 4 x 400

:04:26. > :04:36.

:04:36. > :04:41.Kirani James is coming into form at just the right time. Jonathan

:04:41. > :04:51.Borlee may well be one of the fastest losers, but there is still

:04:51. > :04:53.

:04:53. > :04:58.one semi-final to come. The hammer final has already started. This is

:04:58. > :05:08.the defending champion. British athlete, Alex Smith, is the first

:05:08. > :05:18.British athlete to contest the hammer final for almost 20 years.

:05:18. > :05:41.

:05:41. > :05:51.This man is attempting to become this year. 79.14 for the Hungarian.

:05:51. > :06:21.

:06:21. > :06:26.One more jump left for Yamile too high on her hop. Took all the

:06:26. > :06:31.speed out of her jump going horizontally board. I do not think

:06:31. > :06:41.I explained that very well. I think it is going to be agonisingly close

:06:41. > :06:42.

:06:42. > :06:52.for her. I bet the team at the thought she could win this one. It

:06:52. > :06:53.

:06:53. > :07:03.was a good jump, but not far enough for a medal. This is the last semi-

:07:03. > :07:19.

:07:19. > :07:23.was 6th in the last Olympic Games. He has always seemed possessed of

:07:23. > :07:29.so much for hundred metre talent. Is this the time for him to realise

:07:29. > :07:39.it? Kevin Borlee and his brother Jonathan seemed to trade Belgian

:07:39. > :07:46.

:07:46. > :07:56.records. He has just seen his brother finish third. They have got

:07:56. > :07:56.

:07:56. > :08:03.to run under 45 seconds. Martyn Rooney has got to know that, surely.

:08:03. > :08:10.That is the Saudi Arabian on the outside. The one to watch here is

:08:10. > :08:20.Santos in lane five. The world junior champion. Just 18 years of

:08:20. > :08:54.

:08:54. > :09:01.quickly, but Rooney has not gone off quickly. Mellor is storming

:09:01. > :09:09.down the back straight. Santos is going well. Rooney is now moving a

:09:09. > :09:19.bit better. Santos is starting to come through and Rooney is in

:09:19. > :09:29.contention, but he has to be strong in the home straight. Here comes

:09:29. > :09:29.

:09:29. > :09:39.Rooney. Can he get under 45 seconds? Kevin Borlee wins it, then

:09:39. > :09:45.Sandoz, Ben Bryshon Nellum. 44.78 for the youngster. I think we are

:09:45. > :09:52.going to see a new era of 400m running. Not good enough in the end

:09:52. > :09:58.for my 10 Rooney. This season began with good promise for him. Not able

:09:58. > :10:04.to deliver here tonight. He is outside 45 seconds and that might

:10:04. > :10:11.disappoint him most, Michael. think so. Like Conrad Williams he

:10:11. > :10:18.ran a great first 200. Unfortunately it was not there. But

:10:18. > :10:23.look at Santos. Great execution from him. Only 18 years old. He is

:10:23. > :10:32.giving Kevin Borlee everything he can handle. Santos is extremely

:10:32. > :10:38.relaxed. He will give Kirani James a run for it. Only 18 years old.

:10:38. > :10:47.Great technique down the last 100m. Looking around. You do not want to

:10:47. > :10:57.try too hard at this point, just relax. Very nice from the young 18

:10:57. > :11:33.

:11:33. > :11:38.position, but it will be a nervous wait for her.

:11:38. > :11:48.I have just asked our statisticians if there has ever been two twins

:11:48. > :11:59.

:11:59. > :12:09.. Obvious disappointment, you are attacked it. Tell me about the race

:12:09. > :12:09.

:12:09. > :12:13.plan. It was all right, but just not good enough. I can only

:12:13. > :12:18.apologise to the people who have put four years of effort into

:12:18. > :12:28.meatballs stock I have trained hard, done all the sacrifices, I have

:12:28. > :12:32.lost a life, living in an altitude ten. I want to apologise for my

:12:32. > :12:42.girlfriend -- to my girlfriend. Thank you to my family and

:12:42. > :12:44.

:12:44. > :12:49.everybody. Thanks to them and I apologise. I let them down. I am

:12:49. > :12:54.sure they will not quite view it that way. What do you do now going

:12:54. > :13:04.forward having gone through all that to get to this point? Sort it

:13:04. > :13:04.

:13:04. > :13:09.out. I have got a relay in the next couple of days. It was an

:13:09. > :13:14.opportunity to win a medal and I did not make it. It was the biggest

:13:14. > :13:19.opportunity of my life. And to have the crowd shouting Rooney before

:13:19. > :13:29.you go in I thought, it is great, and I wish I could have lived up to

:13:29. > :13:45.

:13:45. > :13:53.background. He is in a good position.

:13:53. > :13:59.45 minutes from the big showdown. The world will be watching. I know

:13:59. > :14:06.17 million were watching Mo Farah last night. But everybody has been

:14:06. > :14:12.talking about the men's 100m final. It is at 9:50pm tonight. Before

:14:12. > :14:22.that we have got the women's 400m final with Christine Ohoruogu. The

:14:22. > :14:27.

:14:28. > :14:32.men's steeplechase follows that. It culminates with the 100m final. I

:14:32. > :14:38.mentioned Christine Ohoruogu and the time is now for her. There have

:14:38. > :14:48.been more downs than ups for her since Beijing. For her the Olympics

:14:48. > :14:49.

:14:49. > :14:56.have come home because she was born Christine Ohoruogu is Britain's

:14:56. > :15:02.only ever a woman to have won an Olympic gold at the 400m. She also

:15:02. > :15:06.picked up the world title in 2007. But since then her form has not

:15:06. > :15:13.been great and it is only the relay gold that she won in the world

:15:13. > :15:19.indoors that may cause concern to her rivals. She has only ever won

:15:19. > :15:24.two sub 52nd times in her career. Compare that to her major

:15:24. > :15:30.competitors tonight and you can see that she has got a job on her hands.

:15:30. > :15:33.But she can draw inspiration from where she ran those times. At the

:15:33. > :15:41.World Championships and the Olympic Games and on both occasions she won

:15:41. > :15:45.the gold medal. It is a bit -- about her building process. In

:15:45. > :15:50.Osaka she improved on her time in each heat and one year later she

:15:50. > :15:55.repeated that performance in Beijing. Each heat was faster than

:15:55. > :15:59.the last. Contrast that with her performance in single race events

:15:59. > :16:05.in 2011 and she failed to win any. But this year has been more

:16:05. > :16:09.promising. Her times have been consistent and she beat Amantle

:16:09. > :16:15.Montsho at Crystal Palace a few weeks ago. What about her

:16:15. > :16:19.performance in London? It is a downward curve again. Better in the

:16:19. > :16:29.semi than she was in the heat. Can she repeated Beijing heroics in

:16:29. > :16:40.

:16:40. > :16:47.front of this patriotic home crowd University. She has got to raise

:16:47. > :16:50.well, she has got a level head. Right now she has got to be very

:16:50. > :16:53.comfortable and confident. She always progresses well through the

:16:53. > :16:59.rounds and she knows what the results have been an she is getting

:16:59. > :17:03.quicker. She just needs to do what she can do best. She has been

:17:03. > :17:07.belligerent when people have been asking her saying, where has it

:17:07. > :17:12.gone wrong? She has kept saying it will come right in the end. Tonight

:17:12. > :17:19.may be the vindication. Absolutely. She has climbed to erode personal

:17:19. > :17:23.Everest to be here, she has raced with a brain and her heart. If

:17:23. > :17:28.anybody deserves the rewards for what she has been through, it is

:17:28. > :17:36.her but she will have to run smart, she is in an outside lane, she has

:17:36. > :17:40.to be aware of the danger. Will this be a typical race where she

:17:40. > :17:45.just has to stay in contention for the first 250, they just come

:17:45. > :17:52.through the field? Absolutely, no two ways about it, she doesn't have

:17:52. > :17:59.the natural speed of some of the others. People like Richards-Ross,

:17:59. > :18:02.she has got a great personal best, superior to Christine's. She has

:18:02. > :18:12.got to stay contention, maintain the form. It is about maintaining

:18:12. > :18:13.

:18:13. > :18:18.the speed which will win this race. If she is in contention and she

:18:18. > :18:28.comes of that final bend, the crowd Wiltshire her home and she will

:18:28. > :18:31.

:18:31. > :18:37.deliver something special. She has not spoken to anyone, she has just

:18:37. > :18:47.been keeping the focus. Christine Ohuruogu retain her

:18:47. > :18:56.

:18:56. > :19:06.of all, Williams-Mills in lane two, of Rosemarie Whyte in three,

:19:06. > :19:11.

:19:11. > :19:16.Christine Ohuruogu, Great Britain, individually. Williams-Mills, she

:19:16. > :19:20.was leading with just yards to go at the World Championships in 2007

:19:20. > :19:28.when Christine Ohuruogu came past in the last few strides to take

:19:28. > :19:31.Pensilva. Her team-mate, Rosemarie Whyte, outside her in lane three.

:19:31. > :19:36.Williams-Mills has been quicker this year but that is the way the

:19:36. > :19:46.draw has gone. DeeDee Trotter, bit of a revelation, second in the

:19:46. > :19:50.

:19:50. > :19:59.American trials, but even quicker very hard through the first 200

:19:59. > :20:04.metres. The world's leading 400m runner in terms of time in 2012.

:20:04. > :20:09.Krivoshapka of Russia. Richards- Ross, by most people's reckoning,

:20:10. > :20:17.is the number one in the world, in terms of victories, quick 3,200 as

:20:17. > :20:22.well, it ran a personal best, that could be significant. The world

:20:22. > :20:32.champion from austere, also the Commonwealth champion from 2010,

:20:32. > :20:33.

:20:33. > :20:41.Montsho. But one have never won an Olympic medal. -- but y'know. --

:20:41. > :20:51.Botswana. Can Christine do what no British female Olympian has ever

:20:51. > :20:56.done and defend an Olympic title? Francena McCorory will be on the

:20:56. > :21:01.outside, quick, from Michael Johnson and I know you have been

:21:01. > :21:09.talking about Richards-Ross, and Krivoshapka, the draw, she's going

:21:09. > :21:14.to go out hard? Krivoshapka may not go out as hard as she has in the

:21:14. > :21:18.past but she may have learnt their lesson from the semi-final, if she

:21:18. > :21:28.doesn't go out hard and let Richards-Ross set the pace, that

:21:28. > :21:46.

:21:46. > :21:50.could set up a great race down the Christine Ohuruogu do It Again?

:21:50. > :21:57.Richards-Ross almost stumbles a little bit out of the blocks but is

:21:57. > :22:00.quickly up. Montsho, a fast start from the American. Christine

:22:00. > :22:08.Ohuruogu is right in this from the beginning and that is what she

:22:08. > :22:11.needed to do. Krivoshapka, the Russian, goes past Richard Ross.

:22:11. > :22:15.Richards-Ross now start to get moving, so does not show. DeeDee

:22:15. > :22:21.Trotter trying to get into this. Krivoshapka and Christine Ohuruogu

:22:21. > :22:25.is going to chance it. Right on the outside, the American. DeeDee

:22:25. > :22:30.Trotter coming through. Richards- Ross coming through, Christine

:22:30. > :22:36.Ohuruogu is coming again, can she get there this time? Christine

:22:36. > :22:44.Ohuruogu is coming, was to make it, Sanya Richards-Ross takes the gold,

:22:44. > :22:48.Christine Ohuruogu, a sterling effort to get the silver medal. For

:22:48. > :22:57.a moment I thought it was going to happen all over again, just like

:22:57. > :23:06.four years ago. But Sanya Richards- Ross is the champion. She is a

:23:06. > :23:12.great 400m runner. The silver to Christine Ohuruogu, what can you

:23:13. > :23:16.say about Christine? Every time saves her best for the Olympics,

:23:16. > :23:21.for the World Championships, forget all the other races, this is the

:23:21. > :23:30.one that matters to her that she gets the best out of herself again,

:23:30. > :23:36.only ever runs under 57 -- 52nd in a major final. Remarkable.

:23:36. > :23:41.prayed that one very good, very conservative, not the most pleasing

:23:41. > :23:46.times but a great race down the home stretch. Krivoshapka didn't

:23:46. > :23:52.play it as well. Christine Ohuruogu always in position if the others

:23:52. > :23:57.faltered. Krivoshapka faltered. With Christine, she could have won

:23:57. > :24:02.that, because Sanya Richards-Ross didn't run the best race, she ran

:24:02. > :24:08.almost too conservatively. Christine had Francena McCrory

:24:08. > :24:16.outsider for setting the pace but Krivoshapka, a little too fast, a

:24:16. > :24:20.great finish. Sanya Richards-Ross not looking as good as she did in

:24:20. > :24:27.the semi-finals, but Christie without strong finish, everybody

:24:27. > :24:33.does cleaning, it all coming down to the lead at the very end. DeeDee

:24:33. > :24:37.Trotter, sunnier Richards-Ross fighting. She doesn't know

:24:37. > :24:45.Christine is back there but she knows Christine has beaten her in

:24:45. > :24:48.the past in these championships, she would have been aware of that.

:24:48. > :24:53.Richards-Ross has come into many a championship as the favourite, but

:24:53. > :25:00.didn't take home the gold. I am sure this is a great moment for her,

:25:00. > :25:07.coming through finally. Christine Ohuruogu, knowing she has got just

:25:07. > :25:16.about all of the competition on the inside, fortunately she did have

:25:16. > :25:23.Francena McCrory on the outside. Long strides, she knows she has got

:25:23. > :25:27.to get finished, she will not know where everybody else is, I don't

:25:27. > :25:32.think she looked at the screens. This is where she comes into her

:25:32. > :25:37.own, and a little bit of trouble coming off the curve but she knows

:25:37. > :25:41.she has got the strength. If she had come out a couple of strides

:25:41. > :25:49.ahead of that she probably would have won. Sony Richards-Ross in her

:25:49. > :25:54.side, trying to capture, doesn't get her begets the silver. -- but

:25:54. > :25:58.she gets the silver. Great finish but all hats off to Richards-Ross

:25:59. > :26:08.finally coming home with the win, I am sure Christine will be happy

:26:09. > :26:11.

:26:11. > :26:17.with that. Her championship record is incredible, to be honest. Sanya

:26:18. > :26:21.Richards-Ross, the gold medal for the USA. Just a couple of strides

:26:21. > :26:26.ahead of Christine Ohuruogu. A brilliant silver medal for her.

:26:26. > :26:36.DeeDee Trotter coming through for perhaps a surprise bronze medal for

:26:36. > :26:36.

:26:36. > :26:42.We discussed last night whether she would be the surprise champion for

:26:42. > :26:46.Britain, she needed it. Do you think she almost might be thinking

:26:46. > :26:50.if only I had put the afterburners on five metres earlier I might have

:26:50. > :26:55.snatched it. I can imagine her thinking right is Mehmet thinking,

:26:55. > :27:00.goodness gracious Me. But all in all, it was a tremendous

:27:00. > :27:05.performance, no two ways about it. She would have looked at this race,

:27:05. > :27:09.seen her lane draw and would have thought any to concentrate on what

:27:09. > :27:12.I need to do. She knows time and time again she has been able to

:27:12. > :27:17.reel the field in. When Richards- Ross was so close you must have

:27:17. > :27:24.thought, I have really got a good chance. I cannot wait to hear what

:27:24. > :27:31.she says about this race. A ensure we will hear it for her in his

:27:31. > :27:34.second but she is doing a lap of honour. Denise, your thoughts?

:27:34. > :27:38.was close to being one of the performances of the championship,

:27:38. > :27:45.always going to be a tall order for somebody to retain their Olympic

:27:45. > :27:50.title. Her journey has been an immense one. To be within striking

:27:50. > :27:58.distance of that gold medal is just brilliant. It is a fantastic result

:27:58. > :28:02.for a girl that lives down the road. How inspiring is that? She is

:28:02. > :28:07.determined, she has believed in herself, and what she can do, that

:28:07. > :28:11.is good. We will hear from her when she gets round to our bit of the

:28:11. > :28:14.track but she is on the other side at the moment. That is what the

:28:15. > :28:19.Olympic Stadium in London looks like on this Sunday evening, the

:28:19. > :28:25.most eagerly anticipated Sunday evening of the championships, as

:28:25. > :28:30.the flame burns and he will be the fastest man on the earth in less

:28:30. > :28:37.than half-an-hour? The great thing about sprinting, you think it is

:28:37. > :28:47.about legs, shoulders, arms. Actually there when there is often

:28:47. > :29:02.

:29:02. > :29:07.the man who is strongest in the He Shea, unadulterated power.

:29:07. > :29:12.get to the final and he is looking solid and sombre, be concerned.

:29:12. > :29:18.is a psychological warfare, you have got to know your opponent in

:29:18. > :29:28.their mind. Justin Gatlin, he is jumping up and down unsmiling,

:29:28. > :29:30.

:29:30. > :29:33.doing posies, be concerned. If you thought that 9.58 seconds when you

:29:33. > :29:41.do hundred metres, you were wrong. The race begins before the starting

:29:41. > :29:51.gate. There are always those who smile, those who are anonymous in

:29:51. > :29:54.

:29:54. > :29:58.that they are in their own so and completely. -- zone. I take the

:29:58. > :30:02.emotion out of it, I always think about pushing out of the blocks,

:30:02. > :30:07.the elements, the technical elements and that's what allows me

:30:07. > :30:12.to be successful. I thought, it doesn't feel right, can we have it

:30:12. > :30:21.tomorrow? I thought, get a hold of yourself, mate, you will not get

:30:21. > :30:26.another chance. I would look at that anger, yes, Ben that energy. -

:30:26. > :30:36.- burnt. That is right, pays for everybody else. I would you do have

:30:36. > :30:37.

:30:37. > :30:41.your attention diverted. A great poker face. You don't know if he is

:30:41. > :30:49.nervous, you don't know anything, just smiles a lot of time, crazy

:30:49. > :30:59.stuff. One year ago the previously invincible Usain Bolt had the smile

:30:59. > :31:07.

:31:07. > :31:13.It was the 100m final, I said set. An athlete broke hugely early.

:31:14. > :31:20.Ridiculously early. I knew it was plain five. By that time a focus on

:31:20. > :31:30.the fact it was using bolt he already had his vest off. -- Usain

:31:30. > :31:32.

:31:33. > :31:37.Bolt. All hell broke loose. Cameras in his face, he did deserve that

:31:37. > :31:47.this is the first Olympic 100m final with the new rule, one false

:31:47. > :31:51.

:31:51. > :32:01.Wait for the gun, it is not rocket science. You get down to your mark.

:32:01. > :32:05.

:32:05. > :32:12.You go into set. You wait for the gun to shoot and then you go.

:32:12. > :32:17.the beat of the gun. If an athlete commences their starting motion

:32:17. > :32:22.before a 0.1 of a second after the gun it is deemed a false start.

:32:22. > :32:31.Humans cannot react in less than that time.

:32:32. > :32:37.When the starter says set, Ken Usain Bolt keep it all together?

:32:37. > :32:42.When he starred on the beat of bang? The public perception is he

:32:42. > :32:51.is weakened and his aura of invincibility is gone. Therefore

:32:51. > :33:01.that opens the door to everyone. opens the door, but the door has

:33:01. > :33:01.

:33:01. > :33:10.almost been shack with Yohan Blake. We have got a chance, no, we have

:33:10. > :33:16.not. The lights are on and everybody is at home waiting for

:33:16. > :33:23.the final of the men's 100m. It will take place in this magnificent

:33:24. > :33:29.arena in less than half an hour's time. Some people take it

:33:29. > :33:34.differently, some people look very serious and focused and some people

:33:34. > :33:40.will grain and lava to deflect the pressure. Who do you think is the

:33:40. > :33:47.strongest in terms of willpower? would say Yohan Blake because he

:33:47. > :33:52.has less to lose. He is positioned after the semi-finals as a silver

:33:52. > :33:56.medallist and possibly a gold medallist. If he takes silver, no-

:33:56. > :34:01.one is going to say he should have won that because he is running

:34:01. > :34:06.against the best there has ever been. He has trained really hard

:34:06. > :34:11.and that is why they have called him the beast. He has got a steely

:34:11. > :34:16.reputation and is a very strong athlete. But Usain Bolt is very

:34:16. > :34:23.relaxed. We saw a very different Usain Bolt this afternoon, much

:34:23. > :34:28.more relaxed. He is not far behind in terms of his determination. Bold

:34:28. > :34:32.feels like this is his to lose. It is his to lose. I do not think

:34:32. > :34:38.there will be much of a difference between them in terms of mind set,

:34:38. > :34:43.but there will be a big difference in the race. With every second of

:34:43. > :34:49.that goes by we get closer to knowing the answer. Who is the

:34:49. > :34:55.fastest man on earth? It is not long to go. These are not the men

:34:55. > :35:05.who are going to be running 100m. They are going to be running 3000

:35:05. > :35:14.

:35:14. > :35:24.metres with a few jumps in between. The defending champion is Brimin

:35:24. > :35:26.

:35:26. > :35:34.Kipruto of Kenya. That is his team- mate, Abdul my tie. -- Umar Farouk

:35:34. > :35:44.Abdulmutallab tie. The Kenyans have dominated this event. They have won

:35:44. > :35:51.

:35:51. > :36:01.six in a row. Just over seven and a half laps of the track. We should

:36:01. > :36:35.

:36:35. > :36:45.Brendan. Unlike the Diamond League circuit where the pacemakers run a

:36:45. > :37:09.

:37:10. > :37:19.into the silver medal position. Yamile Aldama will be disappointed

:37:20. > :37:20.

:37:20. > :38:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:38:05. > :38:12.in 5th place. Just over one lap have attended the Olympic Games

:38:12. > :38:17.they have come over and got a gold medal. I don't think there will be

:38:17. > :38:22.anything different tonight. The Ethiopians are taking the

:38:22. > :38:32.steeplechase a bit more seriously. There are some good times from the

:38:32. > :38:40.Ethiopians. They are taking their time, moving when they can,

:38:40. > :38:45.successful water jump. Just catch up with the men's hammer, this was

:38:45. > :38:53.Alexander Smith in the third round. An absolutely brilliant performance,

:38:54. > :39:00.a Manchester club member, to make his Olympic final. There was 71.47,

:39:00. > :39:06.he finished in 12 place. This, though, is the leader, Krisztian

:39:06. > :39:14.Pars of Hungary, second in the world list, 82 metres and 28

:39:14. > :39:23.centimetres. He produced the competition first 80-metre throw.

:39:23. > :39:27.80.59. The Americans at the front and I just wonder if the

:39:27. > :39:34.performance of the American silver- medallists in the 10,000m has given

:39:34. > :39:38.the American distance running a well-earned beast. I am sure it has.

:39:38. > :39:43.I am sure they are using the steeplechase as an event to come

:39:43. > :39:47.back with, and I was talking to the head of British endurance he said

:39:47. > :39:50.it was the next event we will move on to, some of our good distance

:39:50. > :39:54.runners will be persuaded to try and give it a chance because at the

:39:54. > :40:02.end of the day we have treated it as the poor relations, we haven't

:40:02. > :40:07.had a British finalist here today and we won a medal in 1988. The

:40:07. > :40:17.coach, and I think that is a good initiative. You have seen what they

:40:17. > :40:39.

:40:39. > :40:48.do with Mo Farah or, maybe they can take this race by the scruff of the

:40:48. > :40:54.neck just yet. They are waiting. 2.52 for the opening 1,000m and

:40:54. > :41:01.that is low by their standards. We have got the defending champion,

:41:02. > :41:08.Brimin Kipruto and also Ezekiel Kemboi. We saw strange tactics from

:41:08. > :41:14.him in his heat. He ran a pretty strange race. Now it is time to get

:41:14. > :41:23.serious. They want that gold medal. They want that record straight to

:41:23. > :41:33.keep going. Kipruto, the defending champion, out of the picture at the

:41:33. > :41:42.

:41:42. > :41:47.moment. The pace is now beginning to pick up. Abdel Mutai is leading.

:41:47. > :41:52.The three Kenyans move into the first four positions. Into the

:41:52. > :42:02.water jug you will see a variety of tactics. Some of them will not

:42:02. > :42:11.

:42:11. > :42:21.touch the barrier. The leader did their way to the front. Roba Gari

:42:21. > :42:24.

:42:24. > :42:27.is looking good and strong, the Ethiopian record holder. Benabbad

:42:27. > :42:37.is moving quite comfortably up towards the shoulder of the

:42:37. > :42:40.

:42:40. > :42:48.defending champion. Brimin Kipruto fell. He tried desperately to get

:42:48. > :42:51.back into the race. He has lost about 20 metres. At the moment they

:42:51. > :42:58.are still not travelling too quickly, he could get up to them

:42:58. > :43:07.and close to them. He has been stung into action now. Abdel Mutai

:43:07. > :43:13.leads over the water. Roba Gari of Ethiopia looks good. It looks as if

:43:13. > :43:23.it is going to be too much for Kipruto. Is this going to break the

:43:23. > :43:25.

:43:25. > :43:30.Kenyan sequence? Roba Gari is being hunted down by Ezekiel Kemboi.

:43:30. > :43:38.Ethiopians have never won the steeplechase title. Roba Gari is

:43:38. > :43:43.away and being chased by the former champion. Ezekiel Kemboi went very

:43:43. > :43:52.fast over that barrier. The defending champion is valiantly

:43:52. > :44:02.trying to get into the race was stopped he is close. What a race

:44:02. > :44:07.

:44:07. > :44:13.this is turning out to be. Look at this finish. It looks as though the

:44:13. > :44:23.Kenyans have done it again. Benabbad is heading for a silver

:44:23. > :44:27.

:44:27. > :44:32.medal. My goodness. What a champion at Ezekiel Kemboi has been. And

:44:32. > :44:37.Olympic champion eight years ago and an Olympic champion once more.

:44:37. > :44:47.What a performance and a strange finish. Why he came into lane eight

:44:47. > :44:48.

:44:48. > :44:54.we do not know. He took his chance. The 2004 champion. Abdel Mutai, the

:44:54. > :44:58.other Kenyan athlete with a medal. A Ezekiel Kemboi is a character. He

:44:59. > :45:06.has got a bit of a problem at home and has got a court case hanging

:45:06. > :45:11.over his head. He has been up on a charge of stabbing. They said he

:45:11. > :45:16.could come to the Olympic Games. He is a pick up a dancer. He watches

:45:16. > :45:23.Usain Bolt. He does not run as quick as Usain Bolt, but he has got

:45:23. > :45:33.his second medal. There is the silver medallist in second place,

:45:33. > :45:38.Benabbad. Kipruto gets tricked. He stumbles, but gets up and comes

:45:38. > :45:45.back. The race was not going so quickly and I thought he might get

:45:45. > :45:52.close, but he was not able to. Maybe Ezekiel Kemboi knew what was

:45:52. > :45:59.happening and took his chance. He glances over his shoulder. Into the

:45:59. > :46:05.last water jump and Ezekiel Kemboi, 2004, the Olympic champion, he has

:46:05. > :46:10.been world champion and Commonwealth champion. Abdel Mutai

:46:10. > :46:20.in second place. Kipruto, the defending champion, cannot get

:46:20. > :46:30.

:46:30. > :46:36.not enough. Abel Mutai it. Over the last hurdle, the race going on

:46:36. > :46:40.behind, he knows he is clear, what is he doing, here he comes, you did

:46:40. > :46:45.see distance runners ever in lane eight, they never even get that far

:46:45. > :46:49.out. No. 1, Ezekiel Kemboi is heading down to the mixed zone, he

:46:49. > :46:53.will do his dance, do the interviews, he will eventually

:46:53. > :47:00.collect another gold medal for himself and the famous Kenyan

:47:00. > :47:04.tradition. The Kenyans have won at least two medals in every game

:47:04. > :47:10.since 1980 it, they have done it again. Ezekiel Kemboi, champion

:47:10. > :47:14.eight years ago, champion once more. Not a fast time but a great race.

:47:14. > :47:20.The Frenchman picked up another silver-medal, just as he did in

:47:20. > :47:29.Beijing. Abel Mutai, not fancied for a medal, but part of a great

:47:29. > :47:33.nation of runners, and the Kenyans absolutely brilliant once more.

:47:33. > :47:38.to go well for Christine Ohuruogu to get round to speak to us, she

:47:38. > :47:44.did a great lap of honour, enjoyed every single moment of it. Here is

:47:44. > :47:54.what she said afterwards. He raced here in Strafford in the Olympic

:47:54. > :47:57.

:47:57. > :48:06.Stadium tonight, a silver medal -- Stratford. Reaction? I was stunned.

:48:06. > :48:14.I was heartbroken, actually. I was heartbroken, really was. To lose

:48:14. > :48:19.your title like that, it was tough. But she is a worthy competitor and
