:00:37. > :00:43.What a morning it has been at Eton Dorney, two bronze and a gold. It
:00:43. > :00:47.is the first day of athletics, and what a great moment, Jess Ennis has
:00:47. > :00:52.been in action, and it is also the last day of judo, and Karina Bryant
:00:52. > :00:57.is trying to follow in the footsteps of Gemma Gibbons, won
:00:57. > :01:01.silver yesterday. She has won her first two bouts in the heavyweight
:01:01. > :01:11.division, and now she faces a judoka from Kazakhstan for a place
:01:11. > :01:25.
:01:25. > :01:30.she has never experienced this moment, walking onto the mat in an
:01:30. > :01:37.Olympic quarter-final, two wins away from a medal. She needs to
:01:37. > :01:47.keep the focus here. She wants to fight similarly to how she did
:01:47. > :02:09.
:02:09. > :02:19.third seed, the bronze-medallist from Beijing. Well, she has taken
:02:19. > :02:33.
:02:33. > :02:40.an early kick to the leg, and the second round in three previous
:02:40. > :02:50.games. Karina Bryant got a grip over the top, she needs to slow
:02:50. > :03:00.
:03:00. > :03:06.strangle. The tactics very similar to the ones that they eventually
:03:06. > :03:11.did for a previous opponent, so a bit of a dry run coming into this.
:03:11. > :03:17.The 33-year-old is from Camberley in Surrey. A dozen years at the top,
:03:17. > :03:21.came into these games as that Britain's best hope for a medal.
:03:21. > :03:26.She has got to watch that, Issanova getting onto her collar and
:03:26. > :03:34.dragging her down on to their knees. She has got to go and hard with
:03:34. > :03:37.these grips now. Having a little word with the referee. An
:03:37. > :03:47.indication on her face that it might have been deliberate from
:03:47. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:02.under the sleeve, she has got control of the grips. If she can
:04:02. > :04:12.get her hips across, she has got a great hip throw. The Kazakh doing
:04:12. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :04:31.by the slap to the shops which she long ago in the judo all was a bit
:04:31. > :04:35.of a house of pain for British player has, has become a house of
:04:35. > :04:45.joy over the last 24 hours, and they are doing their level best to
:04:45. > :04:55.underneath by Issanova. She is powerful when she gets on to the
:04:55. > :05:13.
:05:13. > :05:17.first warning. A warning from the referee to smarten up her act, get
:05:17. > :05:22.on with it a little bit. She needs to be able to get the grit to get
:05:22. > :05:29.her attack in, and at the moment the Kazakh destabilising her with
:05:29. > :05:34.little movement. Into the second half of this quarter-final contest.
:05:34. > :05:39.Great Britain's Karina Bryant, who for so long has carried the British
:05:40. > :05:43.black in those strong arms of her as without ever getting the success
:05:43. > :05:47.that all the hard work perhaps deserved at these Olympic Games.
:05:47. > :05:52.But she is on the brink of something here, two wins away from
:05:52. > :05:59.a medal. It is important that she comes forward, really puts the
:05:59. > :06:04.pressure on. Searching for grip. She gets the leg knocked out again
:06:04. > :06:07.as she comes forward. That is troubling her. One of the other
:06:07. > :06:10.issues for a fighter like hair, a British heavyweight, is that it is
:06:10. > :06:14.so difficult to find proper practice in this competition
:06:14. > :06:17.because there are so few other around. Yeah, it is, she often
:06:17. > :06:25.trains with men on the mat to find people strong enough and big enough
:06:25. > :06:35.to train with. There the Kazakh being warned for kicking. She was
:06:35. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:03.kicking her legs out. That is the that drop. She did well to count
:07:03. > :07:07.any end, made sure that he went over the top of the head of the
:07:07. > :07:17.Kazakh and landed on her front. She spent a month in Japan ahead of the
:07:17. > :07:29.
:07:29. > :07:37.Games to get some weightier can she can do that? She is not
:07:37. > :07:45.happy, the Kazakh really dropping under her grip. Oh, but he has
:07:45. > :07:55.conceded a second penalty, and that is costly, because as we can see,
:07:55. > :07:55.
:07:55. > :08:00.it is part there one are you go down now. -- 1 you go. It is the
:08:00. > :08:10.Kazakh he was ahead with 40 seconds to go. Karina is searching for a
:08:10. > :08:15.
:08:15. > :08:25.coming onto her collar. That Amis really blocking out there, she
:08:25. > :08:35.
:08:35. > :08:43.ditch attempt, yes! She has got it! Karina Bryant with the waza-ari, we
:08:43. > :08:47.are going to have a check on this, as we often do, to make sure. But
:08:47. > :08:53.they are off their seats in the ExCeL, and they seem pretty
:08:53. > :09:03.convinced that was a waza-ari. could be a ippon, but waza-ari.
:09:03. > :09:08.
:09:08. > :09:18.has been confirmed. She has just Count Karina Bryant into an Olympic
:09:18. > :09:32.
:09:32. > :09:36.the week?! With all the headlines she has never been closer in Ayr 12
:09:36. > :09:40.year and in their career to claiming one that no one deserves
:09:40. > :09:44.more than Great Britain's Karina Bryant. She is into the semi-finals.
:09:44. > :09:52.She believed in herself, did she? Right until last few seconds of
:09:52. > :09:57.that contest, she kept going, and she got the score right at the end.
:09:57. > :10:02.A kiss from the coach, Luke Preston, and the sense of satisfaction that
:10:02. > :10:07.Karina Bryant will be feeling right now is so well deserved. Few have
:10:07. > :10:12.worked harder than hair over what has been a testing decade for
:10:12. > :10:16.British judo. Yeah, and she is really giving it everything today,
:10:16. > :10:20.and this is the score right at the end of the contest, she manages to
:10:20. > :10:25.get the leg across. She did not have control of the sleeve, but he
:10:25. > :10:31.still managed to turn it. Brilliant power, look at a height with the
:10:31. > :10:40.leg. And there is the score, waza- ari, ippon, and up to take her
:10:40. > :10:49.through, brilliant do you know! -- brilliant judo! We have waited a
:10:49. > :10:54.long time to see the smile on that And of course we will keep you up
:10:54. > :10:59.to date with Karina's progress, she is now in the semi-final, so we
:10:59. > :11:02.will keep everything crossed. Before we crossover to the Olympic
:11:02. > :11:12.Stadium, back to Eton Dorney. This is Alan Campbell receiving his
:11:12. > :11:14.
:11:14. > :11:23.bronze medal, just listen to the And you can see exactly what it
:11:23. > :11:33.means for him, three Olympics, his first match of. He was lucky to
:11:33. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:43.make the final in Beijing after Just look at these pictures! It was
:11:43. > :11:53.all worth it, Alan, all that hard work, single sculls, such a lonely
:11:53. > :11:55.
:11:55. > :11:59.existence, pushing yourself to the Well, just look at the crowds here
:11:59. > :12:03.in the Olympic Park, it is absolutely heaving, and still of
:12:03. > :12:06.the crowds are in the Olympic Stadium, they are yet to come out,
:12:06. > :12:10.so imagine what an impact it will have after the morning session, but
:12:10. > :12:13.it has been a great mourning for track and field, and we can now
:12:13. > :12:17.cross to Jonathan Edwards to find out what has been going on in the
:12:17. > :12:21.Olympic Stadium. Thanks very much, Matt, a brilliant
:12:21. > :12:26.morning, but we are all a bit choked after watching the coverage
:12:27. > :12:31.from the rowing, it puts it all into context, and for one at the TA,
:12:31. > :12:35.Jess Ennis, it all started three hours ago with the heptathlon heats,
:12:35. > :12:40.with the 100m hurdles. Michael, Denise and I have been waiting for
:12:40. > :12:50.that moment, let's catch up with it now. Colin Jackson, Paul Dickenson
:12:50. > :12:53.
:12:53. > :12:57.and Steve Cram are your start for Nataliya Dobrynska up.
:12:57. > :13:04.She is holding it together here, a pretty good performance, just
:13:04. > :13:09.fading a little bit. 13 points 58, that is a big improvement. I said
:13:09. > :13:13.you should never write this Lady off. Not that far outside her
:13:13. > :13:18.personal best, to be honest, so a good start for Nataliya Dobrynska
:13:18. > :13:28.out. That was an excellent start, I do not think anybody was expecting
:13:28. > :13:30.
:13:30. > :13:35.very smartly, and she is getting away, Almunia side Ellen Sprunger
:13:35. > :13:42.are going well, Louise Hazel being caught a little bit. Ellen Sprunger
:13:42. > :13:47.coming through on the inside. Hanna Melnychenko of the Ukraine, 13.31.
:13:47. > :13:56.Louise Hazel there, she was leading for a few hurdles, but she began to
:13:56. > :14:04.fade a little bit as the race went on. Away safely this time, Johnson-
:14:04. > :14:08.Thompson get a reasonable start Lyudmyla Yosypenko coming through,
:14:08. > :14:13.Katarina Johnson-Thompson looking better, and it is the Ukrainian who
:14:13. > :14:20.wins it, 13.25, a following wind, that is interesting. Lilli
:14:20. > :14:26.Schwarzkopf just beaten by Lyudmyla Yosypenko. A very good European
:14:26. > :14:31.Championships, the Ukrainian. A good start to their competition,
:14:31. > :14:34.13.25, the winning time. Katarina Johnson-Thompson equalling her
:14:34. > :14:41.personal best in fourth place, so a brilliant start for the British
:14:41. > :14:46.heptathletes. She is a 1 woman athletics team, and this is one of
:14:46. > :14:56.her favourite events. The Olympic heptathlon, let's hope it stars
:14:56. > :15:00.
:15:01. > :15:05.Jessica Ennis is being closed down by the Belgian, but she is
:15:05. > :15:15.beginning to pull away on the inside. This is a tremendous run by
:15:15. > :15:17.
:15:18. > :15:24.Jessica Ennis, oh, my goodness! Wow! The fastest time ever! By a
:15:24. > :15:30.heptathletes, any multi- events at late! A new British record, it is
:15:30. > :15:36.legal, 1.3 metres per second, oh! The power of the crowd carried Jess
:15:36. > :15:46.Ennis through to that time, and the rest of her competitors must be in
:15:46. > :15:56.
:15:56. > :16:06.despair, seeing how fast the was one of the fastest of all time
:16:06. > :16:41.
:16:41. > :16:51.You always hope for the dream start to the heptathlon but I don't think
:16:51. > :16:54.even Jessica or would have imagined It sets the whole heptathlon up. It
:16:54. > :16:59.settled the nerves, it's an incredible performance.
:16:59. > :17:04.To put it into context, Michel Hosseini said that on BBC One, it
:17:04. > :17:08.was quicker than the time one in Beijing in the individual event.
:17:08. > :17:13.always knew she was capable of running quickly, but we didn't
:17:13. > :17:18.expected to be here and now. But what a perfect time to do it.
:17:19. > :17:23.home Games you produced an incredible performance in Atlanta.
:17:23. > :17:29.For Jess, in terms of improvement, it was almost that kind of quantum.
:17:29. > :17:33.Absolutely. It was an incredible time, over two tenths of a second
:17:34. > :17:37.improvement over her previous best. We said from the beginning, she was
:17:37. > :17:42.always going to have to have a great day today because this is her
:17:42. > :17:45.better date. The competition is stiff. She has put a huge gap
:17:45. > :17:49.between them now. She's put pressure on them. This also bodes
:17:49. > :17:52.well for her going into the events tomorrow where she's not as good,
:17:52. > :17:56.because now she doesn't have as much pressure on those. It will
:17:56. > :18:02.probably help her perform even better in those events. Michael has
:18:02. > :18:12.mentioned a couple of names there. Dobrynska, the defending Olympic
:18:12. > :18:19.
:18:19. > :18:24.champion... How did you rate what I was expecting more from Chernova.
:18:24. > :18:28.She didn't get off to a brilliant start. Second behind Jessica or in
:18:28. > :18:34.the opening event. But Dobrynska, I thought she was really good. You
:18:34. > :18:39.can tell a lot from her shape, her form by her hurdles race. She
:18:39. > :18:43.looked really good. World indoor champion with a world record of
:18:43. > :18:49.beating Jess, as Chernova did the year before. She will certainly be
:18:49. > :18:53.an athlete who is in jest's mind, she won't underestimate her. Jess
:18:53. > :18:57.is not going to take a competition for granted, but he will be more
:18:57. > :19:00.focused on her own race, executing the way that she knows she needs to.
:19:00. > :19:06.That is the way she approaches competition. That is why she was
:19:06. > :19:11.able to come in here to this stadium, first day of athletics, a
:19:11. > :19:16.huge crowd, sold out, and all cheering loudly as she walked into
:19:16. > :19:19.the stadium. She was able to focus on what she needed to do, get over
:19:19. > :19:25.each one of these barriers and get an incredible start, which she was
:19:25. > :19:30.able to do, and have the best performance here. She will do that
:19:30. > :19:40.through the next few events. Jess Deering the high jump at the moment.
:19:40. > :19:42.
:19:42. > :19:51.Also on track is the men's 3,000m go in the second heat. The Ugandan
:19:51. > :19:56.leader at the moment. Kipruto, the defending Olympic champion, has
:19:56. > :20:01.cruised through into second place. Yousef Avdeeva in third. Florrie
:20:01. > :20:07.army is back in third place. A Spaniard moving up through the
:20:07. > :20:12.field. The first sign we've had from him that he was really in the
:20:12. > :20:18.race. Four laps to go and it is developing nicely now with the
:20:18. > :20:26.defending champion looking strong. The defending champion running
:20:26. > :20:30.nicely on the inside. It has been a fairly sedate opening. 250 for the
:20:30. > :20:36.first 1,000m. They have to get a fast qualifier from this race, they
:20:36. > :20:40.would have to speed up in the later stages. Hurdling strongly, running
:20:40. > :20:45.well between the barriers, as the Olympic champion cruises into
:20:45. > :20:49.second place. Looking in good form as they approach the water jump.
:20:49. > :20:55.Now they are strung out, there are less dangers at the water jump.
:20:55. > :21:02.They you see the different styles. For the Olympic champion, missing
:21:02. > :21:12.the barrier, going straight into the water. The tall figure, the
:21:12. > :21:19.
:21:19. > :21:29.impressive Kipruto. The Australian first heat. But Kipruto isn't a bit
:21:29. > :21:42.
:21:42. > :21:48.bothered by that. Just under three Kipruto looking very comfortable
:21:48. > :21:54.indeed. He was smiling as they went to the start line. Kipruto this
:21:54. > :22:00.year, just outside of eight minutes, he is the second fastest man in
:22:00. > :22:05.history. Just coming on to the shoulder bare his the tall
:22:05. > :22:09.Frenchman. Heading out into the home straight. When they go through
:22:09. > :22:15.the finish line this time they will beat two laps to go. The Ugandan
:22:15. > :22:18.still leaves. It's interesting in a race as low as this, the way they
:22:19. > :22:24.approach the water jump is fascinating. They slow down and
:22:24. > :22:28.then accelerate, clear the barrier and tried to run it almost as if
:22:28. > :22:31.you are on the runway for a field event, a long jump or triple jump.
:22:31. > :22:36.In the final they won't be able to do that because they will be
:22:36. > :22:41.stretched and running hard. Just less than two laps to go in the
:22:41. > :22:51.second qualifying round of the men's steeplechase. The Olympic
:22:51. > :22:56.
:22:56. > :23:02.is the signal, that's where it puts him in the Olympic favouritism.
:23:02. > :23:09.Moving out and giving himself room. Acceleration now. A clear run at
:23:09. > :23:14.the barrier. That is really sensible. This is an interesting
:23:14. > :23:17.way to run a race. The athlete from Australia, who finished eighth in
:23:17. > :23:22.the Olympic Games in Beijing, is giving them a run for their money,
:23:22. > :23:27.as they come down the home straight. They will hear the bell and at this
:23:27. > :23:37.point, the first Ball to qualified, the three fastest, and I don't
:23:37. > :23:37.
:23:37. > :24:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds
:24:21. > :24:29.think that three factors have got very well indeed. Already, Kipruto
:24:29. > :24:39.is looking around. Just accelerates away. That is a touch of real class.
:24:39. > :24:47.
:24:47. > :24:51.Kipruto wins it. Looking so outside of eight minutes this year,
:24:51. > :25:01.but he can run faster. That is a very comfortable qualification for
:25:01. > :25:04.
:25:05. > :25:10.the man who won the title four happening in the high jump in the
:25:10. > :25:15.heptathlon. Louise Hazel went out at a fairly early height early on.
:25:15. > :25:25.It's a busy morning down there. There's a real disappointment for
:25:25. > :25:30.
:25:30. > :25:34.hurdles but that's not good for her. But all eyes have been very much on
:25:34. > :25:44.Jess Ennis. Her big rival didn't have a good start, Chernova, the
:25:44. > :25:48.
:25:48. > :25:53.1.86, another disappointing event for her. The second day is
:25:53. > :26:03.definitely her best but not a good high jump for the Russian. All of
:26:03. > :26:19.
:26:19. > :26:29.bit of an anti-climax, but nothing to worry about at the moment for
:26:29. > :26:55.
:26:56. > :27:04.That's clear. Well done to Fountain. Even the good high jumpers have
:27:04. > :27:08.been starting to struggle. It was wet earlier on, its stride off now.
:27:08. > :27:18.-- it has dried off now. The American very much rising to the
:27:18. > :27:37.
:27:37. > :27:47.and closer to her lifetime best of 1.88. She was 15th after the
:27:47. > :27:50.
:27:50. > :28:00.leaderboard but not quite. She is learning all the time how to handle
:28:00. > :28:05.herself in these sort of major Olympic experience. She didn't
:28:05. > :28:15.quite get the take-off right there. Like Jessica Ennis, she will have
:28:15. > :28:24.
:28:24. > :28:34.goodness! Within a split second the whole crowd thought she'd cleared
:28:34. > :28:34.
:28:34. > :29:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds
:29:34. > :29:44.this stadium would have given her clearing this height. Doesn't want
:29:44. > :29:50.
:29:50. > :30:00.to lose ground on the other campaign to retain his title after
:30:00. > :30:00.
:30:00. > :30:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds
:30:45. > :30:55.they're all clapping for you! Can me? Yes, it was, and she responded
:30:55. > :31:15.
:31:15. > :31:19.Johnson-Thompson. -- by young. big smile. If anybody wants this
:31:19. > :31:29.the Olympic title, they are going to have to produce something
:31:29. > :31:35.
:31:35. > :31:39.remarkable, because Jess Ennis is heat of this steeplechase, that is
:31:39. > :31:46.the start list, they are just getting under way, and it contains
:31:46. > :31:51.the name are the Stuart Stokes and Ezekiel Kemboi, the former Olympic
:31:51. > :31:54.champion and the current world champion. All of that excitement, I
:31:54. > :31:58.wonder whether those cheers might just lift Stuart Stokes to
:31:58. > :32:03.something here. I was chatting to him last week, and he was saying, I
:32:03. > :32:08.feel so privileged to be part of the team, he was picked on a B
:32:08. > :32:12.standard, he said, maybe I deserve it for all of the years I have been
:32:12. > :32:16.fighting to get the chance to be at an event like this. He was not
:32:16. > :32:22.there for years ago, he is a great guy, a very popular man in the team,
:32:22. > :32:27.Stuart Stokes, so he is going to enjoy this, whatever happens.
:32:27. > :32:32.he will have been privileged to stand on the start-line, to hear
:32:32. > :32:35.the roar from the high jump in heptathlon, and he is a great lad,
:32:35. > :32:40.Stuart, he should have been selected in 2008. He almost gave up
:32:40. > :32:43.the sport but came back and decided to dedicate the last two years to
:32:43. > :32:48.qualify for the Olympic Games. He has qualified, and now he is going
:32:48. > :32:53.to enjoy it. He is a full-time teacher in Chorley. He gets up at
:32:53. > :32:57.4am, trains at 5am, and then again after school in the evening, but
:32:57. > :33:01.there is nobody who applies himself added to the steeplechase than
:33:01. > :33:04.Stuart Stokes. I would love to see him run well. If you are as close
:33:04. > :33:08.to his personal best, he will have a chance of being one of the
:33:08. > :33:11.fastest losers, but he has got a tough field ahead of him. But it is
:33:11. > :33:16.great to see him here, there will be no prouder athlete in the
:33:16. > :33:20.Olympic arena running for Great Britain today, Stuart Stokes.
:33:20. > :33:24.looking at Ezekiel Kemboi, the only man behind Stuart Stokes is the
:33:24. > :33:30.current world champion and former Olympic champion. Have I missed
:33:30. > :33:34.something? Did he fall? He is right at the back of the field. Now, I'm
:33:34. > :33:37.assuming there's nothing wrong with them, he has another ability to
:33:37. > :33:42.give plenty of these people a head start, but he would not do that,
:33:42. > :33:47.they are running a decent pace. What is going on? Did I miss
:33:47. > :33:53.something? Well, we were looking at the pack, I did not see him hit a
:33:53. > :33:59.hurdle. Interestingly, he has come into the Games with a real issue
:33:59. > :34:04.hanging over his head anyway. He has been charged in court in Kenya
:34:04. > :34:11.with assault, a Stanning. E as at the tasers then did so that he
:34:11. > :34:15.could come to the Olympic Games. -- he has had the case suspended.
:34:15. > :34:21.Moving up close to Stuart Stokes, the two of them are quite detached,
:34:21. > :34:25.Ezekiel Kemboi, well, we can have a look through the V T T C of E did
:34:25. > :34:30.anything wrong. Moving closer to the packed there, the signs are not
:34:30. > :34:35.looking good for Ezekiel Kemboi. do not think he did hit any
:34:35. > :34:40.barriers, I think he just started slowly and was maybe a little
:34:40. > :34:46.surprise that the early pace. It is not passed by his standards. It
:34:46. > :34:49.just seems as though he is in a little bit of no-man's-land. It is
:34:49. > :34:53.all right running at the back of the pack, but he would not normally
:34:53. > :35:02.give them that sort of lead. The immediately goes to the back, like
:35:02. > :35:06.it is a choice, a decision. Really strange. That it is not unusual.
:35:06. > :35:10.Often the Kenyan athletes slip into the back and give away from trouble,
:35:10. > :35:14.but he is now moving closer, getting closer to the pack. I do
:35:14. > :35:21.not know why he is doing it like this, but we will find out. He is
:35:21. > :35:24.making it hard for insulted -- hard for himself. He is moving to get
:35:24. > :35:29.closer, but he has had to work hard for a couple of laps to get himself
:35:29. > :35:34.in contention. The lead is still held by Donald Cabral of the United
:35:34. > :35:37.States. Now he is much closer, the top four to go through, as Brendan
:35:37. > :35:41.was saying, and with everything that is going on in his life
:35:41. > :35:51.outside of the track, it might not be so easy for him to concentrate
:35:51. > :35:56.
:35:56. > :35:59.on the job at hand when he is to the fore. Steve, he is also
:35:59. > :36:05.making it harder for an assault by running down the inside and now the
:36:05. > :36:09.outside. -- harder for himself. He has had a troubled time in the run-
:36:09. > :36:13.up to the Games, the selection was difficult, then the court case over
:36:13. > :36:18.his head, then huge controversy about their training camp in
:36:18. > :36:23.Bristol, which has been irritating the Kenyan athletes. But now you
:36:24. > :36:31.could almost say, as they come into the thinning straight, or it will
:36:31. > :36:35.move to three laps to go, and Ezekiel Kemboi... The defending
:36:35. > :36:44.Olympic champion has one more attempts to achieve 1.86, and she
:36:44. > :36:47.gave it everything, but he has been eliminated. Three laps to go in the
:36:47. > :36:50.men's steeplechase, and we have already had an amazing run by
:36:50. > :36:55.Ezekiel Kemboi, the former a Olympic champion, working his way
:36:55. > :36:58.from the back of the field, working through gradually, and he is now
:36:58. > :37:03.into a qualifying position. We cannot understand why he has run
:37:03. > :37:08.this way, it is unusual for him, the likes to be at the front, but
:37:08. > :37:16.he does not look troubled, he is back in a race, and the leg
:37:16. > :37:22.champion has done a good job. -- the Olympic champion. Well, 2.50
:37:22. > :37:27.through the second kilometre, so it is slow, and there will be a couple
:37:27. > :37:30.of athletes from the first heat who will be happy with that. There are
:37:30. > :37:35.enough people in this to make it quick over the last couple of laps,
:37:35. > :37:40.but Donald Cabral of the United States has been there from the
:37:40. > :37:49.start, happy to lead. Roba Gari is in second place. The Algerian is in
:37:49. > :37:54.third place, then Ezekiel Kemboi, the world champion. Hamid Ezzine of
:37:54. > :37:58.Morocco is in 5th place. The big figure, Lucas Kaczynski, is
:37:58. > :38:06.starting to struggle off the back of that group in the white with the
:38:06. > :38:10.red shorts, second from the back. There he is, he has actually
:38:10. > :38:15.stepped off, Victor Garcia. They are starting to move down the back
:38:15. > :38:24.straight. You can see in a light blue of mulled over, Ion Luchianov,
:38:24. > :38:26.trying to get a better position. -- Moldova are. Roba Gari almost at
:38:26. > :38:33.the start in its stride. Ezekiel Kemboi is pushing and shoving,
:38:33. > :38:37.trying to move through on the inside. Well, he has made it hard
:38:37. > :38:41.for himself all the way, and there could be an inquiry if that was
:38:41. > :38:48.close, the cars became very close to putting his foot and the inside
:38:48. > :38:53.of the track. -- because he came very close. This is Ezekiel Kemboi
:38:53. > :38:58.in second place. He has run a strange race, and now the bell. All
:38:58. > :39:03.he has to do now is run hard and he will be into the final, where he
:39:03. > :39:10.deserves to be as the former Olympic champion. I am looking down
:39:10. > :39:17.the field, Stuart Stokes. Let's just brake for a second because
:39:17. > :39:27.Jess Ennis is going in a high jump. A new target for Jess Ennis, 1.89.
:39:27. > :39:33.
:39:33. > :39:38.If the crowd have got anything to Kemboi hits the front, Roba Gari is
:39:38. > :39:42.in second place. The Moroccan is right there as well, the top four
:39:42. > :39:47.go through. He has been all over the place, he worked hard to catch
:39:47. > :39:51.them up, he has been stepping aside, but he is good enough to do all of
:39:51. > :39:59.that and still win. Ezekiel Kemboi wins, I do not know where he is
:39:59. > :40:04.going now, I have not got a clue! Roba Gari and Hamid Ezzine call
:40:04. > :40:09.five, and that is a strange, strange run. -- co-op 5. He has
:40:09. > :40:14.probably got a lot going on in his head with the charges that are
:40:14. > :40:19.against him. Stuart Stokes, well done, Stuart. He is not as fit as
:40:19. > :40:27.he would like to be, 35 years of age, his better days behind them,
:40:27. > :40:31.but is the Olympic experience, at least he got the chance to run.
:40:31. > :40:40.Tough, tough, tough out there, but he will have enjoyed the crowd, I
:40:40. > :40:46.am sure. So far so good for Jess Ennis, two more attempts at 1.89.
:40:46. > :40:51.Earlier this morning we saw Dai Greene go in the 400m hurdles,
:40:51. > :40:56.Michael, a difficult draw in lane one, but he coped pretty well.
:40:56. > :41:01.coped pretty well, he at and easy heat, so he was not pressed in Ms
:41:01. > :41:05.race. He was able to conserve a lot of energy for tomorrow's semi-final,
:41:05. > :41:10.tomorrow night, so he has got a little bit more than 24 hours to
:41:10. > :41:13.get ready for that race. He will feel very good about his attempt,
:41:13. > :41:20.able to conserve some energy and get ready for that semi-final.
:41:20. > :41:22.Great for him to get through, a bad draw, but easy for him in terms of
:41:22. > :41:28.the competition that he had to contend with. He will not have to
:41:28. > :41:32.worry about the main one any more. Defending Olympic champion
:41:32. > :41:35.Christine Ohuruogu in the first round of the women's 400m, apart
:41:35. > :41:41.from a little mistake at the end, Denise, she looked pretty
:41:41. > :41:45.comfortable. I would say she ran a decent race. She has not got much
:41:45. > :41:50.running in her legs from previous injuries, not racing much, but she
:41:50. > :41:55.dealt with this very well. You see her nerve and through, asserting
:41:55. > :42:00.their authority on the race. -- you see her moving through. As you say,
:42:00. > :42:05.she made a little mistake at the end, which will cost her a decent
:42:05. > :42:10.lane go in forward to the next round, but all in all she did OK.
:42:10. > :42:14.It was a good qualification, she tends to be a little bit mistake
:42:14. > :42:17.prone. She usually makes one as a third championship, hopefully that
:42:17. > :42:21.was it and she will learn from that and be able to go through these
:42:21. > :42:27.next few rounds, solid races, get us up into the final where anything
:42:28. > :42:37.can happen. A Mike Carr, Denise, thank you for this morning. --
