London 2017: Day 2 Morning Session

killing me senior potential that we saw from him as a junior Ryan whiting silver medalist in Moscow and then down the bottom end Ryan krauser he will certainly be hoping that it is one throw and job done minimal energy expended for the big men today they want to get it done early get back to the warmup track and contemplate tomorrow's final as ever it's the top 12 who will go through if we don't have 12 over 2075 it's gonna be a fascinating competition isn't it the men shocked but has been for the last few years it really is a hard task to pin the global titles there's always four or five or six athletes in the men's shot put as I mentioned Ryan krauser potentially the pre-event favorite good conditions absolutely beautiful isn't it for this first morning session so a big banner didn't we guys when we were coming in saying no tickets available today so the morning session in tonight's session why on 700,000 tickets have been sold for this I double-a afford championship to the most in history last night as you say Rob's anything to go by then we're in for another cracking session another cracking nine days in total well what an opening three days you go fara in the 10,000 to ignite the home crowd on the Friday Usain Bolt on the Saturday and in a women's hundred on Sunday but is this man going to shine as he did in Rio last year 4303 from Lane eight that for me was the performance of the games in Rio even surpassing bolts treble at the one there two in the relay well when I saw Michael Johnson run his fantastic 400 as I thought that record would stand a lot longer than my expectations over maybe 50 years or so but this man blitzed it really is a real talent just look at the shape is in across all the sprint events you know he sits above Usain Bolt at the moment on the world rankings in the 100 meters he's absolutely phenomenally fast in this world championship season over the 100 200 and 400 of course he's planning to double here but I think he's on again this is the short but I think he's the man anika because broke 10 about 20 you know the the old important barrier there is afforded as well so it's fantastic one point I'd make I mean of course this is mainly about competition and championships and we saw earlier on the weather that it's sixteen degrees and of course really top and world record type sprinting you really need to have pretty warm weather over thirty and so on therefore it's not gonna be as hot as in Rio or in severe low all these places and therefore we shouldn't get too uptight about records I'm sure the times will be very good but I think you know there just might be that little bit below the absolute maximum Fred Curley obviously one of the other big favorites there I mean yes I remember you Peter but I think it doesn't matter about times is it a champion so you've got a win it's as simple as that and I think the Koala put qualifications these manners got me as as easy as we said about the shop but they've got to take it as easy as possible to save it for the big race the final well what about this guy Isaac Makwana he too fancies the four and two double that's what that knee Coker said his stall out the makalah is very very fast but on a lot of occasions his best times come at altitude either in Switzerland or in Madrid but he is in cracking shape and we're on van Niekerk very close when they met of course in the Diamond League well we're just getting ready for the first event on the track here which is there going to be the heptathlon 100-meter hurdles and the crowd of beginning to stream in not yet full but as as we mentioned all tickets sold so we would expect it to fill up during the morning this marvelous Olympic Stadium which of course has an extended roof from what we saw in 2012 so that all these spectators are undercover let's hope they don't need to worry too much about that and it's actually a different track isn't it but from what we saw last night I think there's some indications that there will be some quick times to come they actually sold the original track tracking took from 2012 I bought a piece of it it's on my desk of my office at home when Mo Farah raced here a couple of weeks ago at the Diamond League here he was presented with a piece of the track with the number one obviously that they've kept for him to give him as as a momento so we get under way with the track action on day 2 here at the IAAF World Championships here in the Olympic Stadium in London with the heptathlon hundred meter hurdles there are four races the athletes being seeded according to their form at the 110 hurdles so we'll get the fastest hurdlers going in the fourth of the races you can call them at separate races really rather than heat so these are on paper the slower athletes will take to their marks for the first race but of course it'll give us a very good indication of what the conditions are like down there well we see how their times compare with their personal bests these are athletes who've got best times in the 13.8 to 14:5 area whereas when we come to the last of the races there are four athletes who have bettered 13 seconds we'll come back to them very shortly yes they're due off in around about four or five minutes time the women just getting themselves ready as the officials check the barriers Alexander last night competing as a neutral athlete Nathan the world indoors a few years ago ten to the Europeans remember 2075 is the target for an automatic place in tomorrow's final little shake of the head there he said that was a little bit iffy twenty nine-year-old the official title is authorized neutral athlete so if you see in a n/a that is what it stands for and there is a no throw on the first of his three efforts Carlos tobon inna big powerful looking unit twice at European finalists he's got a lifetime best of twenty fifty seven so he's got to throw further than he's ever done in his career if he is to go through automatically this morning nimble footwork that you could see their numerous quite some distance shy of the automatic line the 32 year old didn't qualify for the Olympics last year twice a Spanish Indoor champion 1938 so it's a very very modest first round effort from turbo Lena he will need to come back and at least get very very close to his lifetime best Tom Walsh he's got a bit of a cult following in New Zealand he's an old school operator up until very recently was still working 30 hours a week as a builder and said it helped his core strength is a hugely popular figure back home and he's rounding into fabulous form with 2204 yes that is big Tom Walsh the index fingers are waggling one throw and we just await the confirmation on the distance the World Indoor champion the Olympic bronze medalist he's given compatriot Jacko Gil plenty to ponder many people thought that Gil would be the star of New Zealand shot-putting but look at that 20 to 40 that is a season's best and Tom Walsh is indeed rounding into fabulous form here is the lineup for the first of the four races in the heptathlon mountains of Belgium Scheffer Spinola of Brazil real out of Colombia varman of India and then we go D'Souza Raziel shoot promising Ukrainian and a rich school of Switzerland well there's Hannah Magnezone thousand thirdly World Juniors last year's Shaffer to Spinola of Brazil that's just outside 14 seconds she's a double South American champion and other from South America is the South American champion last year Evelyn a guerrilla national record on that occasion then we have Swapna bother the Asian champion this year comes from India tomorrow D'Souza competes a South American flavor in this field South American champion this year as well now leather shoe care our highly talented and promising Ukrainian just 18 years of age recently won the European junior title she's already got over six thousand three hundred points in the decathlon here's another promising youngster the 19 year old general develop star second in the European juniors and again over six thousand three hundred points in a very fine competition there so if this is the first of four races that's really matter where they finish what matters is the points on the International scrolling tables sun shining here in the Olympic Stadium conditions look pretty good for sprinting mountains jeffer a gorilla barman / Sousa shook and rooks toe [Music] first race of day two of these World Championships well a fine start particularly by de Sousa the South African should fit behind the rest of the field now that sir it's a tweener of Columbia also then well uh nearest the camera rooks note of Switzerland look stills going to come to the witness race looks tournedos who wins it and his second place with Sabrina and 1381 on the clock Roy looks to the youngsters Happiny came here with the rest of 1395 and she smashed that with 30 and 81 a really superstar robbed for heptathlon exploits over the next couple of days [Applause] that's excellent from rostov rounded down to 13 80 and she will receive a thousand and seven points so an excellent start from her a griot ran well 14:03 a couple of tents down on her lifetime best excellent conditions this morning what is it about that outside lane a for the start of a women's heptathlon the same lane always was Edison a tonight when shear at 12:54 well we do remember her coming through on nearest to us on the stands with a much quicker time than that I think is 1215 I mean let's look again see how well a green low was away but in the red vest here rooks tool just focusing on the hurdles focusing on her own race not bother about the rest the competitors coming through to win very nicely and being rewarded by taking a big chunk off her personal best and in those middle lanes the barman and azuz are also running pretty well there so nice relaxed running good hurdling by rook stall Switzerland with quite a tradition in the multi events and they've got another good youngster coming up later in Carolyn Agnew the under-23 champion good run by the Indian who came through in Lane five SWAT now barman she's got a best of 1390 coming home with 959 points for 1414 long couple of days for these women they're up and running in fine style so there's confirmation of the first race of the hurdles Geraldine Brooks duel winning in 1380 at wheeler 14:03 in barman 1414 and all safely completing it Jacko Gill he might be aware his compatriot Tom Walsh has just thrown a monstrous 22:14 Gill twice a world junior champion hasn't yet quite delivered on that junior promise in the senior ranks though he has gone over 21 meters this season 2075 to join his compatriot in tomorrow's final he's there good stuff from the New Zealand er to efforts from both their countrymen and we're just waiting for confirmation but that will be good enough to send the 22 year old through to the final his mother was national discus champion his dad was a very handy shop footer as well so Tom Walsh 22:14 2096 that is only 5 centimetres shy of his lifetime best excellent work there from Jacko Gill Brian whiting silver medallist in Moscow at the World Championships twice a World Indoor champion very heavy strapping on that right knee and he was just about on or over that qualification line 2165 so far this season 22:28 at his best back in the same year and he stood on the podium in Moscow waiting to see what effort Ryan Krauser his compatriot produces he's also in shock but qualification Group B 2084 it's done exactly what he needs to do no further throws required for Ryan Joe Kovacs 2257 this season yet he's still not the biggest thrower in the world this year well not necessarily what he would have been expecting the defending champion the Olympic silver medalist second behind krauser in the US Championships for competitors from the United States here of course because Kovacs is the defending champion 2062 so it might be good enough but he's going to have to come back and make absolutely certain with 2075 the required target USA was such a fine tradition the likes of hopper and Adam Nelson a few years ago meanwhile the big poll Michel hare attack European silver medalist last year another massive looking operator 2188 this season he's in cracking shape [Applause] yes see drifts towards the right-hand side there on the sector but he's over the qualification line a little fist pump for his compatriot we've still got a hook up yet ski of Poland's go fabulous junior just turned 20 heretic over 21 meters that's excellent work so all the big men so far seem to be making smooth passage through whiting we'll need to come back but all the others have made it Steve Hays unique eleventh last year in Rio that's good work from him he's been really consistent so far in 17 21 48 is live-time best he's a former world junior champion at kickboxing so I don't think you'll find Steve event or myself taking him on on a dark alley he won 65 out of his 70 kickboxing bouts and has now made a successful transfer to track and field 2086 he's also in the final now what an excellent performer the major championships David Stoll has been over the years twice a world champion in Daegu and Moscow silver medalist here five years ago disappointed that he missed out on a medal at the Olympics last year in Rio but he is a fabulous performer when it comes to the big occasion miles over [Applause] 21:41 we're just seeing that flasher as the official scorer the two-time world champion will be in tomorrow's final second of the four races in the hundred meter hurdles and this should be a very close one because they all have best times in the 35 to 13:7 range and there's the lineup rodriguez trainer Chris and versa Felix Przewalski's Farkas danach and Mookie Nova that it's another one who had a magnificent season last year so the whole lot of personal bests once we got a European bronze medal we've seen the recent conditions here today gentrified by the first race when Brooks duel of Switzerland set a personal best in winning that race well on paper all these athletes quicker than her be fascinated to see if we do get the sort of times they're capable off its fastest in the lineup with a PD of 1339 is Nadine a person who goes in Lane five nearest to here we have the very experienced check Cucina ver who's taking part in her fourth World Championships Elspeth there Felix were looking at there from Puerto Rico pero American champion last year - it sorted Regas of Cuba planar of Austria Chrisann of Hungary person of Netherlands Felix of Puerto Rico Chbosky Farkas of Hungary dad each of Austria Tucci Nova of the Czech Republic Warfel start but of course remember that in the multi events they are allowed one false start without a disqualification so there will be a warning for whoever it was that did that full start just looking back on the reaction times and laying that eight Russell's alone six as well transgressing there what does it say they won't have to worry about being disqualified there we go an untidy start this time just a little wait while they check the equipment well not the equipment so much as the readout from it which will indicate the reaction times reach of the athletes let's look again well you can see a move in the center there which share although she didn't get away so quickly that was Felix the Puerto Rican who certainly look in the camera there he certainly shifted and what really set off the rest of the field so they won't have to be careful the second time his dad itch that it's the European bronze medalists last year experienced competitors either side of her Przewalski's Bacchus of Hungary and seven and Russia never of the Czech Republic in they nine both competing in their fourth World Championships have tafflin so after one full start getting ready eight athletes in the second race of the women's hundred meter hurdles in the heptathlon so a warning just being announced by the starter it's Felix who set them off and then dad itch in lane a two got away far too quickly so after that one full start here they come again Rodriguez of Cuba trainer of Austria Chrisann of Hungary person of the Netherlands felix of puerto rico Shevat ski Farkas of Hungary dad each of Austria Tucci Nova of the Czech Republic race two of the women's 100 meter hurdles in the heptathlon while away clearly this time no problem in already dress and the benevolence going strongly with tree sap incisor on the actors inside rodriguez of cuba looks to be coming away with this trace we've also got Cucina veronica this rodriguez who wins it with tucson in second place thirteen point six one bullets pretty close to rodriguez his personal best of 1452 she's been an outstanding youngster rodriguez he's going through four seventy two the olympic games last year and she certainly got off to an excellent start here Nathan good sis this year which just shows the former nearly all of the world's best but taking part in it and she's got off to the sort of start that she would like there's a look at dad each as well who in fact came through to take second place just ahead of Chris and I mentioned before with Bruce and and pray now just about locked together just behind them so it's a thousand of 36 points here for Driggers look at Rodriguez right on the right side of the screen there got away to a blistering start the Cuban and maintained excellent form all the way through the race and then we've got the adage of Austria in Lane eight but second from the stands side and she does indeed get ahead of Chris on with as I said the other two very close behind so all those five scoring over a thousand points in this first race in the heptathlon but good run from reveaiing is one of the top two I suppose on paper and she was never head II got a great start very clean over the hurdles Justin a beloved foot as you said Peter cursor and running well from hungry in Lane eight just come through to nudge her through for the second place as you said it's all about times that's a good performance from Rodriguez and take a check on the times Rodriguez running 1364 a thousand and thirty six points daddy trees on Burson and prayin are all over a thousand points as well down to Zubov ski park as he round 1405 and eight right then a chance to see if Ryan Krauser can bring his top form here to this qualification he will be disappointed if he doesn't nail this in his first throw he has made 22 meter throwing looks so easy this year that was conservative by his standards but it's more than enough to take him through to the final with minimal effort expended we really are in for a cracking showdown in this shot but it could be a fabulous final I think the shot experts are very excited about this young man who comes from a fantastic family of throwers and he himself has mentioned that he has his sights long-term he is looking ahead quite a long way to Randy Barnes his world record will that be a massive achievement if he does that but you're watching there he is as Rob said almost like a casual throw he wasn't really pretty much effort into it so there's obviously a lot more there to come for krauser in the final well we saw cha Molina throwing in the first round some way shy of his lifetime vest and he's going to need to go beyond his PB remember 2075 required big roar from the big man but he's still short of that line and with the way everyone else is growing you get the feeling that he will have to get to 2075 if he is to make sure of a place in the top 12 across the two pools it was better but still not enough he's in 13th at the moment so he's not going through at this stage great standard being produced so far Fraenkel ember of Congo he just missed out on a medal last year in Rio very heavy strapping though on that left knee 2072 he's thrown this season as opposed to 2120 last year on what was a breakthrough year internationally for the man from Congo he's going to need to come back for another effort if he is to make sure great angle there just shows the quality of the footwork of these guys in the circle 1974 you can see he's in 16 so the man who almost got a medal in Rio last year will need to come back for a final attempt to make tomorrow's big showdown nearly all the big names are through at final coming up tomorrow so our new doll of Portugal European bronze medalist last year he's in PB shape so far this year thrown over 21 and a half meters that was drifting towards the middle a lot of height but lacked the distance so hands on hips he will need to come back to try and give himself a chance so much height on the foot but he dips too early just drifted towards the right-hand side of the sector [Music] he's over 20 meters and he's living dangerously at the moment he's in 12th position now back to the track for the third race of the hundred meter hurdles in our first chance to see one of the new generation of superstars in athletics that's naffy tiems of belgium who goes in Lane eight year after her sensational Olympic victory and she's moved to third on the world all-time list for the epitaphs list being just the fourth woman to score over 7,000 points in the event so fascinating to see how she goes she's got a personal best of 13 34 look at some of the other contenders this is the European champion Anouk better 6626 points last year in Portuguese athletes naked in a charisma turn away from Sao Tome a switch to compete for Portugal and in Lane 7 the French typing this year and here is our chance to look at the tall figure the 22 year old Belgium nappy TR they've got lost in the crowd you know well that she's a major contender and the young Swiss athlete 21 year old Carolyn at Anu on the European Junior title two years ago under 23 tiger this year inside lanes we've got how dear Salman rap for Germany West is a long jumper now Sharon day Monroe who takes part in a fifth World Championship the American in lane three and it said ICO on the European under-23 champion from Estonian first the full lineup Salman Rath de Monroe zydeco better charisma uh hoon one rule TM a new all with bests 13 233 region well how well away TM relatively slowly away and it said ACO is better they're leading the way with Salman Roth on the inside TMI beginning to come through those lock place getting going but in the center lane it's better who wins this race from zydeco and Salman Roth and good time there 13:33 but TM a little slowly away I thought and well the time is will be reasonable with a little short of her best yes agree P to anything 1331 has been confirmed for better than the season is best and TM is in 1334 shaped this season but she's such a star isn't she on the start of this seven about the heptathlon they've got the high jump next this morning record the events this evening she's coming through in fourth place in the race but of course it's the points and the time so thirteen point five four seconds the Navi TM the Olympic champion and this you mentioned Peter not particularly out well the main action was in lanes three and four solid though for TM yes I mean she finished well and got 13:54 and that's a decent start but just a little short of what she'd like but no reason to displace her as the favorite for the title seven years old didn't a PTM heroine is Karolina close of course one of three consecutive world gold medals in the heptathlon from 2003 onwards so she started a campaign who's the Olympic champion it's interesting because Jessica Ennis Hills coach Tony min a cello just this week has said that TM would have to have one very bad event for even the rest of the world to have a chance is that a fair statement yes I think it is and of course unlike Jessica Ennis and most of the British athletes particularly kjt of course she's a fantastic javelin thrower over 59 meters in Rio which is for sensational effort because they're really that is getting on for international class anyway so we can expect her to have a very good second day and of course she's got the high jump to come this morning later as well and we're looking forward to seeing that 198 remember in with Katrina Johnson Thompson faster than the or higher than the gold medalist so better winning in 1331 sataek Oh 1337 salmon Rob 1352 and TM off to a 13:54 start for a thousand and forty four points well the athletes getting ready for the last of the heats in the heptathlon we've seen TM there's Katarina Johnson Thompson who is sure to get a great reception from the British crowd now based out of France working with the same coaching set of his Kevin Meyer who did brilliantly to get the decathlon silver last year Peter I wonder what difference that will have made to kjt well we'll see I suppose even particularly when it comes to the throws events which has been her problem but so far and what she's been doing out there looks pretty promising well these are in fact the fastest women in the hers [Applause] 14:29 but we've got specialist hurdlers here like nadine visa who's the European under 22 in Kaplan at the event for Kendall Williams a former world junior champion at the event and we've got four women in this field or five women in this field who so come 13 seconds so we just saw a 13 34 time in the previous heat and we've got a lot of athletes here who are capable of better than that between the Johnson Thompson perhaps not one of the best ones in this race a good solid start for her will be something at 13 3 or better but back to the shot now and Joe Kovacs yes well so far Kovacs has been pretty much the only one of the big names not to go through automatically and he's getting closer but that is not what the defending world champion would have expected silver medalist last year he should be okay just a confirmation he's in qualification group a from whom we vote from which we've only had Tom Walsh with that fabulous 22 14 and Heretic of Poland 21:27 2067 he should be fine he's in ninth place but he is still 8 centimeters shy of the automatic qualification this is thomas Stanek in qualification group p for best thrower in the world this year that's better for the man from the Czech Republic European Indoor silver with 21:43 and he's gone over 22 meters this season so whilst we're still waiting for Kovacs to hit Top Gear that was much better from trauma Stanek and you can see why Joe Kovacs might be getting a little bit twitchy in that night position as you mentioned Rob 12:00 at the moment is 20 meters in 11 so 40 50 centimeters only at the moment is Joe Kovacs in the qualifying position but is in there that's what matters and no one has ever thrown as far as 2050 and failed to qualify for a major championship final report that's indicative adjust house higher standard it is at the moment and we've got those big three twenty two meters hers but a lot of other ones who are very good so we're coming back then to look at this last of the four races in the 100 meter hurdles and they're still just getting only just tidying up the hurdles before they get underway it's gonna be interesting isn't it you mentioned the changes that kjt Katarina Johnson thompson's made she'll be against a training partner here in Lane two the French athlete Antoinette Nanaji MO as the full lineup then Visser and Williams were two specialists at hurdles catchable Johnson Thompson Schaffer a very consistent Germany number two on the worldís this year blue garden live in the USA is another very fine hurdler and it can yet see add Medina from Latvia now as I mentioned these are the best of the hurdlers Johnson Thompson at 13 29 personal bests as the can we go through the field very experienced Antoinette no no Devo EDA twice European champion outdoors twice European champion indoors at the pentathlon next to her Nadine Ibiza who's the European under-23 champion of this under meter hurdles was on the Windies 1257 this year as well as that freebie 1278 Kendall Williams as the world junior champion the hurdles a couple of years ago now the American champion has heptathlon six times NCAA winner is well University of Georgia and we have Katerina captured or the Czech Republic bestest 1305 and she's a former world youth champion at the Kaiba go and then we have assumed the Johnson Thompson [Music] era pattern suggested Paredes and the crowd roar when they hear her name announced Nene this year at good sis in the heptathlon then we have Calvin Shaffer another former world junior champion on a best-of 13:07 take up world number two at depth after this yep oh look a blue guard fine long jumper and hers the best of 1293 she was runner-up in the US Championships at the heptathlon and the field completed by ladder he can't yet see at Medina who won the bronze medal two years ago in Beijing taken her national that being record to 6800 15 points in Gertz is this year when she was third johnson Thompson in 2006 in that great event so we've seen the times of the decathlete kept athletes getting quicker and each of the races and this the fourth of the races and this features the fastest athletes in the liner and a team of Visser Williams gotcha Burt Johnson Thompson Shaffer who guard Nick Aliotti and Menino as begins again a superspy visa be felt in this particular events jumps into action so anyone indeed visa from the American Kendall England these two don't work arrest appeals shaper in third place and twelve eighty five on the clock as expected the hurdle specialist Nazim DISA business of a little class she's a very happy obviously with that time it is official it's concerned at twelve eighty five the negligible wind down there multi eventers these days and that's nadine visa winning this race at 1285 Kendall Williams also going very well indeed as she is and a real shame there Peter he looked as though at Medina has got a real problem she was in tears there the athlete running nearest the camera in Lane nine she's had a fabulous season 13:07 a lifetime best great start from visa who dragged Kendall Williams with her the Latvian nearest the camera just keep her eye on there here well she hit five successive hurdles and then there was a bit distracted by that other one which was not there and I think my blue guard in the lane extra so yes a big problem let's hope she's not seriously hurt she was certainly lost some points there as visa superb in winning that with Kendall Williamson Shaffer all scoring over 1100 points looks like she may be just pulling the top of the hamstring as she came across the line that's a real shame her because she was absolutely brilliant in got seized and looked like she was a contender for a medal again and she's been in the past but great form there from Visser 1278 a lifetime best and Williams as you said a fantastic individual sprint hurdler what's the thing about the heptathlon isn't it I mean under the Catherine as well make one mistake in one event and it can be very costly and forth the Latvian then that really would be a shame because she's obviously one of the most talented athletes but make one mistake and she certainly lost a lot of points there let's just hope she's not seriously injured there's the results of the final race in the heptathlon nadine Visser 1285 411 47 points from William Shafer Boogaard Johnson Thompson closed her personal best catch ever Jimmy II do and then I can yet she had Modena great to see so many people in the stadium this morning for this morning session and there is the confirmation we have seen the fastest hurdlers in the last of those heats not bad from Johnson Thompson just about 400 Southside her lifetime vest that the Latvian arguably the casualty so far after one of seven although she is still in it and did get over a thousand points yes apart from her very much according to form TM a little bit down on what she might have looked for but all going well for most the other major contenders there your TM in 11th place 1044 but she will expect to pick up points in our next event the high jump and they'll be coming back for that in what about an hour's time still to come by the way we have the men's 400 meters first round women's 100 meters first round and men's 800 as well so plenty to come on the track over the next couple of hours back to the shotput Milanovic or croatia he's had two no throws that was closer now just looking at the summary here remember it's 2075 for an automatic spot 12th place at the moment is around about 20-30 so he's living dangerously the Croatian 2033 he's in at the moment by the skin of his teeth now Joe Kovacs he's in 9th place overall with 20 67 he's the defending champion he should be ok but he'll want to make amends for those first two rounds but he's unable to do so once again so Kovacs looks like he will go through with 20 67 but he is the only one of the very big names not to go through impressively or automatically things to think about before the final for the defending champion not what we've come to expect from him especially as Peter said he's gone over 22 and a half meters this season Darrel Hill he's under major pressure here - no throws that's better he's gone just shy of 22 meters this season unlike his compatriot Kovacs that looks as though he will be there but living dangerously just mr. medal in the pan-american games in Toronto in 2015 was a great championship six in the US champs a couple of years ago now the massive man with aspirations to get in amongst the mix with the likes of krauser his compatriot giving himself around with flaws over 21 meters much better in the third round he will return what could be etske fabulous junior European Indoor champion at the age of 19 earlier this year the man from Poland just about there or there abouts with that line maybe a fraction shy fourth and European Championships last year he too is some way short of what we know he's capable of still only 20 so relatively inexperienced compared to some of the older guys coming through in these groups and he knows it hasn't quite clicked there today in qualifying 12th is 2033 so he is shy of the automatic line well he's in 10 20 55 a couple of anxious moments await the fabulous Polish Junior coming up shortly we have the men's 400 meters here's odain Richards now this would be a real shock for the Jamaican if he can't make it bronze medal fabulous bronze medal in Beijing two years ago 20 196 this season the Commonwealth champions facing an exit here oh dear oh dear what disappointment for odain Richards [Music] when he knows what a good season it's been second in Rabat with a Central American record so that 21 96 coming very recently but what a shame the Jamaican will not have an opportunity to show his finest come the final big casualty there Dameon Birkenhead make the Olympic final last year heat to another 21 plus meter thrower this year a little bit ragged there in the circle getting towards the business end of qualification here and the Australian will be struggling with that Mikayla Mitch of Croatia in 12 with 2033 at the moment so make the final last year a fairly consistent series but nothing over 20 meters not good enough for the Australian women's hammer throat qualification group a about to get underway 16 athletes due to line up when Barry of the USA the world number two this year Sheng Wang of China the world number three so a full complement 16 athletes in each of the qualification groups of June 32 in total will take 71 meters and 50 or the top 12 into the final on Monday now we turn our attention to the qualification the men's 400 meters wave van niekirk 4303 in Rio last year who would have thought he would surpass the great Michael Johnson's world record but he did and in some style from Lane eight so first three plus six fastest losers across the six heats will go into tomorrow's semi finals here's the lineup for the first of the six heats and the men's 400 meters great britain's matthew hudson smith goes in five but this is absolutely loaded Kevin ball a in six curly the second fastest man in the world this year the American in seven and the experienced golden have Trinidad in eighth and Moz lack of the Czech Republic in nine so there could be some casualties here there's the Hedgehog who was dancing with the former European four wanted me to champion you and Thomas in the build-up to the championships yesterday Nasdaq on the outside Tobago here in London Craig curly what a find and what a talent he's won every single one of his 400 meter races this season 43 1770 on the all-time list Tilman ball a he's from 4479 this season although that was an altitude very experienced now European champion back in Barcelona 2010 listen to this reception for much from school you and Thomas thinks his British record could go to Hudson sniff it's a bold statement first he's got to get through the heat Lucas Carvalho of Brazil in for Lucas part of Spain in three Holland's Omar of Kenya from international rugby sevens plan and then bash it none at a chat on the inside the twenty year old a tough heat this one Hudson Smith in 5 will have ball a to chase outside him let's see how well Fred Curley performs in Lane 7 he has been a revelation this season it's his first major international experience he's in the packed Olympic Stadium there might be a couple of thousand shy of a sellout but it's an absolutely brilliant turn out for a morning session and there is the American Lalande Gordon will go out harden 8 so to mass lack brilliant performer indoors twice a World Indoor champion in nine but that's curly in seven first three into the semis very very hard heat this one Smith has been off really well he's closing down the deficit to Kevin Paul a the long flowing strike Curly's got nice and steady he's closing the gap on Lalonde gordon and matt slack on the outside and say it's Hudson Schmidt at the moment with curly the member is only the first three Palio of Brazil trying to come through on the inside and the lon running just a touch clearly already looking over his shoulder the lone Gordon running well on the outside Hudson Smith trying to cut through bull a recovering bit of a battle for the second two spots really good here from curly curly from born a long cordon also there no automatic spot there for Matthew Hudson Smith who perhaps went out a little bit too hard trying to close in on Kevin poorly but certainly Fred curly 43:17 he really is a major major find well Hudson Smith very disappointing frankly he didn't seem to have much when it came to the home straight is why I looked at it and he came through in fifth place may be enough but disappointing slightly but I think maybe I got carried away with the crowd I think the crowd would absolutely ballistic when he went off done that back straight and I think it's sometimes really pushes you to hard areas coming off he's in a good positions this stage but fades as you said Peter down the home straight it wasn't showing nearly the curly now as you said really looking very come from looking over his shoulder I think a time to meet him up both ways to see where he was and he just cruised there on the home straight there you go looking one side looking the other well considering that's his first foray internationally he looked very very composed of course we've still got a huge talents of Makwana and wave and Nico to come good second half of the race there from the long golden 4502 with ball a also running well because he's fastest time in the world this year had come an altitude that was so impressive from the American care how hard is it to actually do what - curly did there I mean he slowed down then trying to pick it up again over the last hundred meters and 400 I mean I must be terribly hard to do that when the lactic acid is surging through the body yeah it's about pace judgment with a 400 meters and he ran that in an interesting way but didn't he make it look good though we wondered what for me was in what shape he was in on the big international stage pretty impressive from curly there's a scramble behind him wasn't it for that the top three places the British athlete Matthew Hudson Smith he went out quite hard but not hard enough for me to fade as he did in the home strain I thought he might have a little bit left the British athlete but that athlete was very impressive indeed Fred Curley making absolutely no mistake lalangue Gordon Kevin ball a and the double World Indoor champion Pavel Maz lack will have to wait to see if he picks up one of the six fastest looser spots same case for Hudson Smith in fifth 4531 may not be enough so just wrapping up the tail end of the shop for qualification Jack the Romanian needs to improve he's in 14th at the moment he will need anything over around 2050 odds to make sure big roar there from the Romanian world indoor silver medalist last year fantastic performance important coming home just shy of Todd Walsh who looked really good with 22:14 earlier on in qualification pool eight oh yes seasons best for the Romanian that looks like it might just be enough so full list here excellent qualification from Tom Walsh the double world champion David Stoll also there Jaco Gill making sure automatically krauser will be the favorite when he returns Ryan whiting Thomas Stanek Kovacs is probably the biggest name that there's a question mark over there yes he's made it through but he was some way shy of the form we've seen throughout this season the defending champion nevertheless clean slate he'll be back for the final big disappointment for the Commonwealth champion Oh Jane Richards he threw just a couple of centimeters shy of 22 meters last month couldn't get above 20 there and he will not be in the final but other than him a really really great showdown in prospect that final coming up tomorrow into the woman's hammer qualification group a Zhang Wang of China the world number three this year opening her account here in London 76 meters and 25 this season remember 71 meters and 50 automatic qualifying for the final on Monday manages to keep herself in the circle you see the big yellow cue line at that 71 meter and 50 distance so just shy for the Chinese athlete the Asian record holdup sits on those world rankings behind USA's when Barry who's in this qualification group a and Anita the dachi of Poland which is judicata in the second qualification group at 12:05 UK time coming back now to the track and the man I think that everybody thinks is being groomed to take over the mantle of Hussein Bob there's one of the icons in our sport wave and he cooked that unbelievable performance in the Olympic Games from Lane eight where he absolutely blitzed the field broke the world record of Michael Johnson which I thought was gonna stand as long as I was alive only man that we know that has run under ten seconds under 20 seconds and under 44 seconds this spread of distances is incredible there's the lineup the big man goes in Lane five remember it's just three and then the sixth fastest to the semi-finals tomorrow like on the track you just see now the tension building everybody in this race knows what they've got to do with a man like Mandy cook in the race on the outside there is that steam sauna nice Australia just coming down to the in Lane five planning if there he is Olympic champion defending world champion 25 years of age undefeated this year he's run the fastest over 300 meters 30.8 one on his inside there in lane three is the other ones approach to watch so Denny Oh fourth in the Rio Olympics there he is perhaps the only man that could perhaps run close to the world champion out there nine five Janna sick of Slovenia they do under-23 champion we press the Slovenian record 4480 for the car being asked to be a little bit quiet now for this second heat of the Benz 400 meters in a sec Slovenia we devide Italy Cedeno generative a go aunt Eva now France then the man himself van niekirk just outside him and his que of Cuba Charmian and Vince admits grenades Breton ears of Costa Rica Salomon of Australia I'm Paul DeLong a hard a little bit problems there the starter asking me athletes to stand up let's see I think they're really cat we'll wait to see potentially a green faulty card a lot of noise down on the start line isn't there for the 400 meters the living hammer qualifying is continued let's look on the replay as we scan across well actually in lane number five white van Niekerk lowered he's bottom back into his I think mister start is asking to respond quickly when I ask you into the set position I mean it was less gay I think they just got the green card there maybe I don't think they can actually hear sometimes I started because so much noise in the crowd as I said that they were asked to be quite just before the start there and it is difficult sometimes to actually hear what the start is saying let's go through the lineup again the under SEC in Lane one read ovide to its end in EO in three until allow in for and D Kirkham five escape in six Charmian 7 Brezhnev 8 Simon in ninth so the way this time and on the outside Nene going extremely well obviously a Sherman there of the grenades and in the inside Garnica obviously now just taking it very easy can't even though just inside him is holding it really but now you see the strength of man because he starts really pouring it on at the 200 meter mark and the outside I think resin is also running well from Costa Rica so as they come up the final Bend it's going to be pretty close I think it's going to be resin there's that just hits everybody into the field manly scope though is very strong over this last hundred meters breast as it is it's running well and the sound of Solomon Australia Go Go but here you see the class of Andika just stretching his legs coming away taking it easy Brezhnev's in second place and on the inside I think you should there be Italy coming through as well well if you could take a race easy the 400 meters which is a hard event this man made it very very easy Adi relaxed through the first 200 meters just came easy around that second bed and then down the home straight really deport everybody back it's such an interesting raise the 400 meters because you'll look at that and think yes but wait van niekirk around 4303 of course that's going to be easy for him to run just over 45 but it doesn't work like that sometimes it's actually harder to run slower but he was so so comfortable he did what we expected and he had everybody in his sights he coasted round the top Bend he didn't really work between two and three hundred meters which you do in a semi or a final you'll see that to come and he's turned on the afterburners had a look over his shoulder got himself into a position so as expected the world-record holder who's going for that 200 and 400 meter double here it easy as you like his coach 75 year old great-grandmother Anne's Botha well she'll be happy with that one a very impressive was it really good on Costa Rica he did all he had to do worked hard on the outside there there he is in the blue fading a little bit over the last hundred meters or so as van Niekerk come through I think it was Reed Aviv that of Italy that got all-important third place yeah I was watching that on the line Cedeno ran brilliantly last year for 4401 how can you run 4401 in an Olympic final behind this guy and not get a medal Cedeno has struggled to replicate that form this year and he's in for a sweaty time because he ran 45 77 but how easy was that great pictures there really just shows how easy it was for this man as Kathy said it's difficult around a 400 meters but making it look that easy Wow it's the world champion Olympic champion and the world record holder that's the man to do it well and many are putting the mantle of the new Usain Bolt on his shoulders as well which must be a hard task to follow for me he could potentially be the next big global superstar of track and field as he's already with the performances that he showed us and especially when you're doubling up guys isn't it conserving energy is not just looking at the 400 in this championship now he's looking to do both both events so that was as easy as we'd expect from the South African star yeah making those comparisons we thought is it's really hard because it's it's about bolts care as well as what is achieved on the track and van Niekerk is his own man soapy kitchen in the women's hammer qualification group a bronze medal at the Olympics last year looking for that line of 71 meters and 50 before her Wang of China was measured at 71 meters in 89 she's automatically through oh that's good that's good from the British athlete well she gives a little wave it really was a wonderful achievement last year in Rio for Sophie Hitchin became Britain's first Olympic hammer medallist since the man called Malcolm Noakes in Paris in 1924 a many Peter Matthews hammer as a shot once again Goethe medal here in this woman's hammer if she can reproduce the form of Rio in 70 305 automatically through she has that priceless ability which has shown since their junior days to peak well in major championships here's another contender mashiki belarus thus inside the Hitchin the olympic medalist automatically go through over 73 meters european team champion this year well she's a lifetime best shape in 2017 74 meters and 94 remember automatic qualifying 71 meters and 50 kitchen we saw Wang's before her the Doosan throw by mana chick again but if some extent this is an aperitif before the feast we've got an eatable a dark chick in the next group and she's made 80 meter throwing her own prerequisite for me the biggest favorite of these games and quite rightly so with P dimension she'll come up in qualification group be just after 12 o'clock UK time so the malleus chick automatically through with her 72 metres and 79 copper on then looking to get qualification out of the way from the ground here in London just like the men shopped at these athletes topping left right and centre over the automatic qualifying standard second in the World Youth Championships back in 2011 22 years old now she'd be looking for automatic qualifying she has done over 75 meters this season well she gets it 74 meters and 97 automatically throws so back onto the track heat number three of the men's 400 meters here's your lineup a full complement from lanes one to nine the London stadium terms of having nine lanes all the way around bebe of Botswana will go in lane number six the world number four this year and freaking champion last year because 3402 this world championship season nice round of applause for Duane Cowan of Great Britain and Northern Ireland these are a really good season a 32 year old 45:36 a late developer into athletics football was his first sport paranasal their recent kitts and nevis on the inside hazel con rowdy Cowen Garcia Joker's yam from Armenia in 5 DB in serious Maurice was in 7th of Kenya gave Jamaica in eight and a malko of Poland in nine remember the first three guaranteed a place into the semi finals tomorrow but that is Babel okey CB of Botswana been busy on the Diamond League circuit around the world and the world number four on paper is over half a second faster than the rest of this heat three lineup so if he be going off well as expected in lane number six Britta number three means take the stagger outside the translucent side of him already he's absolutely flying the British athlete is a South African Conrad II gave Jamaica in lane number eight he's working the top been running nearly blind on the outside the Jamaica with one athlete outside him so Dennis Kelly of Jamaica 2464 the Jamaican running while he's starting to run entreated just a little bit the British actually going but the world three lucky phoebe of botswana well the twenty-year-old ran a very very good race there as did the jamaican game the crowd are pleased because Dwayne cow and the British athlete confirmed in third at 45 39 so this is the athlete Rob Walker that we were talking about before we came on earth for you Phoebe the Botswana he is a real real talent considering that he's only just turned 20 now he's expended a lot of energy there at 44 82 it's a fantastic run and we know there's more in the tank because he's gone 40 Paul zero to one Oslo second in Lausanne third in Monaco African champion he was injured and couldn't start the semies in Rio last year but running this way as well by Dennis Jay who also broke 45 seconds Cowan not far outside his lifetime vest just three hundreds he made sure the third spot gage did all this work early on but Babolat FEV is a great talent and Catharines you're looking ahead to the four by four PB sim Banda the Koala and if you drop Nigel a moss down from the 8th to the 4x4 that is a great quartet for the African nation yeah and they've got another one who's run up mid 45s as well the bolo is so yeah great strength in depth and a major contender for a medal there but good run but they British squad is also in contention of course with Cowan there and it's looking increasingly likely the Hudson Smith will be okay on what we've seen on the times of the athletes outside the first three so Phoebe then from Botswana 44 82 and there's confirmation then what's wanna Jamaican gaze droops Duane Cowan a break Britain and Northern Ireland 4539 your three automatic qualifiers from heat three getting back to heat two that's great for bus fare van niekirk met with Devine of Italy just going through right the end and Sandy Neos just getting third DQ'd for Reznor's they're really well we have to wait and see maybe run out his side of his Lane so that was disappointing for him good performance problem and DQ'd well I'd like to see why that was so when Barry second round now at this woman's hammer qualification group a 11th on the world all-time list when Barry 76 meters and 77 this season opened with a 65 meters and nine so down on the best the American but that looks an improvement nearing the 70 meter line the US record holder she won the US Championships this year remember top three in the US trials no excuses if you finish in the top three when it matters that the championships they're on a plane of course defending champions Diamond League winners also get qualification into the world champ but that's an improvement from the American 69 meters and 12 up into fifth place in Group A over the backstraight the women's triple jump just about to start this group a one of the big favorites obviously you know Maharaja's Hoos are really jumping exceptionally well this year fourteen fourteen ninety six of the worldly but she's obviously got major problems in the B group from our major contender kathleen in fog when the olympic and world champion so and after wait and see there's a bog win there for women i think are over 1440 in that group so it's tough qualifications 14 20 and then if they don't get to those distances it's the top 12 to the final on Monday here we are this is one of the women I'm gonna look forward to ulama Rajas of Venezuela the World Indoor champion and an Olympic silver medalist to technique well that's a little bit low there on the second phase and that's the qualifying line the white flag goes up we saw yesterday a lot of men had real trouble getting their run up and their performance is correct in the men's long jump and that really is still a look again way back from the plasticine they're like 27 centimeters back much more harder I think for the trimmer got to hit that ball correctly they've got to get themselves into the right phase for three laps rather than the 130 days graphed at over now he's his best to 1464 tall lanky rangy type run up oh that's a massive job that's well over the qualify like 2012 Olympic champion yeah coming back into the sort of form that you'd expect that was perfect on the board really and the said she's very tall very rangy good first that kept us be going all through the three phases there and ended up with a magnificent performance there it is 14:57 easily over the qualified distance well that woman's triple jump could be a cracking final if all the big names make it meanwhile back on the track this is heat for the men's 400 meters Steven Gail and Stephen Gardiner Jamaica and Bahamas and the magnificently and appropriately named Wilbert London the third of the United States he goes in Lane five another absolutely loaded heat this one Jonathon born a on the outside his brothers already qualified then Lou Galen Santos got a silver here back in 2012 Steven Gardner one of the stars of the 400 meter circuit 44:26 this year won in Doha calm and the Bahamian Championships Stephen Gayle another man under 45 seconds this year lost the opportunity to compete in Rio because he contracted the Zika virus will London the third still just a teenager bird in the u.s. champs last year Brian greeghan made the European Championship final a few years ago for Ireland and then ammu Doohan of France and on the inside her error of Colombia but five big names in this one London in five Gael of Jamaica in six Gardiner the big big talent from the Bahamas I think he's around about six foot five he's a tall graceful looking athlete look Ellen Santos hasn't been ungrateful in this season in eight ball a and nine let's see what Gardner can produce he starts in Lane seven curly van niekirk and Phoebe very impressive in the three heats so far that's Gayle of Jamaica he'll have the Bahamian in the lane immediately outside Gale was very late to rise there so watch London Gale and Gardner and Gardner has gone out really hard down the backstraight fabulous looking athlete when he's in full flow long loose stride going through the first 200 meters London's got quite a lot of ground to make up their scale running well in the center of the picture his gardeners miles clear here can of Branch trying to get in the mix on the inside and thought I had felt they're really impressive London coming through he could run by the Irishman quick and in poorly on the near side garner from London and Regan Paula wasn't to wait to see if he goes through as a fastest loser 44 70 for the unofficial time that was good well I think that is the most impressive 40 meters so far that man go round that back straight so as he was putting up so relaxed such a smooth rhythm like Michael Johnson when he was running at his best just literally cruised around coming down the homestretch just took his foot off the throttle look how far he is ahead of the rest of the field here at 300 meters - and I like the way you ran it because in major championships you used to I used to run the first 300 meters the same in every single round then take my foot off the gas to ingrain the rhythm to ingrain the mind into knowing what to do into the next round and Stephen Gardner there seem to run it the same he ran his race to 300 and then took his foot off the gas he is so impressive and so talented and still just 21 in 2015 Steve I remember he took he took his PB down from 47 78 to 44 27 and national record multi-talented yeah really for a really good runner and it fascinated because we know that van Nika does exactly the same in the final perhaps here run a fast 300 meters and maybe he's proud you know prepping for that because that's the sort of race that might happen in the final well we may have lost qurani James but we have another star from the Caribbean karani James has run a couple of times this year that hasn't been covered from illness Gardner six foot five massive shoulders carrying the hopes of the Caribbean island on his shoulders that was a really really good indicator that there's a lot more to come in the cities and hopefully the final from his point of view well we had the idol AF world relays in the Bahamas for the second time earlier this season and can you imagine the crowd with himself and Shawn a Milla we bow the Olympic with his 400 meter champion it was electric the boy is a genuine star and quite rightly so but look at that absolutely superb qualifying and you say Steve tall long lights he's not carrying much around the 400 meter distance he's like van Niekerk in terms of shape but just taller it's good to watch I think as I said reminiscent the great Michael Johnson when he was easy as that smooth relaxed rhythm that you they can sometimes get it almost it's totally effortless it's obviously not but it is a wonderful thing to watch great athletes through to the semi-finals and there's another great athlete on the runway for the triple jump when she's good she really lights up a stadium she's a real character to embark when now in the triple jump what could she for juice defending world champion good firstly Wow all just lost it a little bit on the second phase white flag goes up she's close to that qualify not happy now I don't think she would be she's capable obviously I'm a monstrous job she wants to long way behind the board powerful as I said a real character in the women's triple jump and a good champion only defeated what's this year by urges so what a battle these two are gonna have 14 21 just one centimeter over the qualifier so that's all she needed to do Safran koba of the czech republic round 3 in qualification group a in this woman's hammer open with the 67 meters and 93 anode row in the second round well the officials are jogging over so she's the past the 70 meter line remember two tours of 16 athletes 71 meters and 50 automatic qualifying or the top 12 to the final on monday or 70 meters and 67 he puts her in fifth but remember this is just qualification group a with qualification group B to come and then the busy nature of the warm-up track which is literally not even a hundred meters from the stadium then there's the familiar face of Elaine Thompson such a wonderful 2016 season the favourite for the 100 meters Catherine for sure she's had an amazing 12 months what was she 1070 last year 1071 this year she's really going well and you could argue the daphne skippers who ran so well for a gold and a silver in Beijing is not quite on top form this season 20 to 1 in the two but she hasn't gone inside 1095 the Dutch woman but michelle lee IE she's had a she's had a good a good season she's gone I think she's gone inside 10 9 this year in the Trinidad champs that was a very very fast race but Elaine Thompson will be the favorite for that one you would think Muriel hooray she'll be looking to have something to say knows how to perform when it matters you add in Tori Bowie the American as well women's 100 meter heat due to kick off at 11:45 UK time just over 20 minutes or so the first round proper in the men's 100 last night Usain Bolt will be back later and the women kickoff very shortly we were back on the track the 40 men in heat 5 just about to go down to the blocks and one of the firm Rob's favorites Isaac Mac Walla goes in Lane 6 I think Rob you think this man has got potential they have to wait and see he's drawn in a fairly hard heat this LaShawn Merritt on his outside the Olympic the former olympic and world champion the shawn has won six world championship relay gold medals from 2005 to 2015 and impressive performance really the inside there maybe tomorrow walkies of the caiman ours the new pan-american junior champions with the time of $44.99 might be the other one to watch out put the big man on the outside the short merit United States who actors compete in the Champions America at the 200 meters just to get confirmation a wildcard entry market moody twice repeat champion obviously a favorite before he goes in the late eighth always wears a familiar sunglasses let it quote I'll turn it up the BOGO dozen inside and Kim the world spawns bedless trinidad and tobago small but very very fast and then a big man I suppose all the favorite here he is Isaac a koala or Botswana to that massive double in badru Barry 143 9251 is in two hours later than 1977 for the 200 so he's in great shape Helios up Spain goes in the inside of him Fiji's then Tibet kinder the Kenyan champions there is Jamal what of the Cayman Isles and then on inside Winston George of Guyana so he's in some fantastic for me to heat so fast and real talent being displayed are we going to see it again in this the fifth heat so the athletes go down to their blocks George Wharton Tibet - gladly will see us toile up quo irony and merit [Applause] right [Applause] 200 meters and he's gone between all of them at the moment going down the backstraight the quarter it is it's catching up crying he's outside follow the outside though Merritt is also running while he's got a little while he's letting blinds but on the inside the parlour is really cruising and going round Merritt is running while he's doing all he's got to do to try and hold everybody off around this bed but the quarter is coming hard at it this is a great performance again from this man the Koala is running well on the inside though Wharton coming through from the Cayman Islands but the Koala isn't true what just behind him is coming through for that all-important third place in the 400 meters five six the fastest time so far in qualifiers well this is gearing up to be one of the races of the chairmanship 4455 Gardiner 4475 the koalas compat ree @ vb 44 82 and Curly in the first 44 92 quite sure whether Marit Marit got the second just coming across ahead of walton 45 on the nose and busan lost 45 22 he's in port he is in the fastest looser spot at the moment I wasn't sure where the merit was getting a little bit tired there or whether he was judging it well actually I looking in quite closely you look if you see him very closely he's looking across at Wharton all the time which indicates to me that he was pretty much in control and just doing all that he had to do well he certainly can't be discounted I know he might not have been on top form so far this year but what what an event this is turning out to be and the Koala when he's late a little bit of a declaration of intent there Steve but in terms of effort expended van Niekerk has done so with minimal effort so far doesn't matter whether you run 44-point now it's about can you run 43 plus change in the final well we always say that don't we getting through hich don't win she don't mean swim medals and semi-finals you would metals in the final and you've got to go through each of the qualifying rounds with a little as possible taken out of the tank and as you said I think out of all the athletes although some great performances there Fanny Cup was the one I think which probably did as little as he had to do to get through by far the slowest winner but it doesn't matter 45:27 for van Nika and what a time they're from the Koala 4455 but if you look at his top ten performances he never produces his fastest times in the finals whereas van niekirk his two best times gold in Beijing gold in Rio there's the result that performance from the Koala 4455 merit just edging ahead of Wharton in that second place there all three of those qualified and the personal bests from the city of Salinas paid them 45 tons of good performance in here so just one more heat to come then in the men's 400 meters that was a result of heat by four there's confirmation of Steven gardeners win in heat number 444 75 as smooth as you like Steven Gael the Jamaican DQ'd at the bottom another DQ here this morning in this first morning session but no such trouble for the Bahamian athletes back at the triple jump again second performance and Rogers it's lowering to the board and that's a better clearance not a best job I don't think she'll be happy with the fact that she's got the qualifying distance she took a little bit easier I think slow approach but that's all you need to do so the leading performer in the world this year gets through to the finals they'll be on Monday huge talent the one thing she's got a wad she's been very inconsistent in the Diamond League meetings this year with her run up often taking off behind the board and that could cost her of course no problem is that okay that she was a lot of ways that let's have a look yes she's not exactly perfect on the ball but having said that it was a good job there it is 14:52 qualifiers 14:20 are you needed rickets there of Jamaica there's a crowd behind up last approach oh right there I don't think it's close [Music] not quite perfect on the war there it is that's been indicator that 15-second remember we saw the men's long jump yesterday we're part of here the top men never got the qualified distances but they got through on count back and that's the qualifier that's good 14 21 just a centimeter there's the coach and I think her husband saying congratulations the three to Ramona now of Portugal she's lying in ninth place at the moment six in Rio long range II run up Oh a lot spring there's a lot of spring they're really good performance in terms of technique white flag goes up smaller than most of the other women but it's a very very bouncy long way back again Ramona I think will be fairly happy with that now that's I think qualifying jump in a second round there there it is 14:29 there she goes third place overall in distances but doesn't matter this is just a qualifying sixth and final heat to the men's 400 meters Gil Roberts of the USA starts in lane number three the world number five this year forty four point two two seconds sim banda of botswana starts in lane number seven nineteen year old to suicide forty five seconds this season so there's you fall lineup Haruna starting line to go of Japan in eight Calibos Evander then pick in Rio last year from the inside line the tight inside lane one when he was 18 playful Hanna the Jamaica he starts in lane number six 44:52 this year one of two athletes in the six in the final Heat that have run under 45 seconds this season Nigerian in five in court but this is Gil Roberts second at the US Championships this season quickest in the field 44 points to to set Cadiz so the sixth and final heat these athletes have waited patiently through the last five heats so as per the other heats the top three guaranteed a place in the semi-finals tomorrow that is Gil Roberts the 28 year old American was the US Champion three years ago the last year won Olympic relay gold with his US teammates in Rio so on paper Robertson 3 Palin the Jamaican m6 and potentially sin banda m7 and it is the Nigerian in lane number 5 that's running well or go went back in lane number 5 and then the Jamaican go well in lane number 6 but look at Gil Roberts in lane number 3 on the outside as well Maroons from Qatar in lane number 9 running well so a little bit of a gap now for the top three places that are automatically going through to the semi-finals but the world number 5 Gil Roberts of the USA swims into the straight brothers room through the tower on the automatic spot as well but unofficially 44.9 two seconds of the battle to the line between Nathan Allen and Gil Roberts of the USA in Lane three so the Jamaican wins the heat and automatically qualifies 44:29 one seconds from the second leg the Jamaican relay team which won the silver at the Olympics last year but that's the six heat guys done and dusted in the men's 400 and what a variety of ways the big names have got through in though in the way that they've ran the qualifying this morning well that looked the toughest of the heat didn't really they ran all the way to the like no one was easing up there you could see Gill Roberts there of America just edging his way ahead but then the fast finishing Jamaican there on the inside of him Allen coming through very very close I don't think anybody there had much more to give in that race the disappointing McNair Steve from a botswana and point of view was the teenager corrado sin banda who was fifth in the Rio final last year third from the outside finished last he just seemed to give up in the last 50 meters but great finish there from the Jamaican Nathan Allen you just saw Roberts tie up a fraction Haroon ran well for the third spot remember he was fantastic last year with his 44:27 yet to go inside 45 seconds this year and no fastest losses to come from this one which means I think that Jonathan Whalley will be the slowest of the fastest losers with 45 7 which means that the British hope Hudson Smith should make it through as well but who who do you argue is the smoothest qualifier at Gardner of the Bahamas looked amazing the Koala 4455 and so we watched there Roberts mr. Qi with all those James could probably save a couple of hundred simply dropped all the gold but van Niekerk has done so with the minimal energy expended at 45 27 yeah I think you have to say weight van Nico with the way that he set his race up and ran it he did expel the least amount of energy the world record-holder look is very good indeed the other guys seem to run their race a bit more structured skill Roberts he brought it home didn't he's got the job done in the sixth and final heat but the semi-finals tomorrow well we say it with all the sprint events that made a championship guys don't we then we'll see what's going now when the big men and girls have to step up in a semi-final stage well hero the mascot is everywhere that mascot is on the infield is in the crowds Rob actually if it's on the front but for the back Rob it for the front baby so confirmation then for the sixth and final heat Nathan Allen of Jamaica 44 91 Allen through Roberts through Haroon of Qatar also automatically through and that means very shortly you'll get the full list of qualifies for the men's 400-meter semi finals well here it is the Koala was the fastest at the qualifiers Gardiner looked amazing Phoebe ran really well so too did Fred curly remember 43:17 he's the second fastest man in the world this year and we're not really talking about LaShawn Merritt but he looked fairly comfortable 45 flat Issac Makwana apparently said listen that was pretty comfortable there's a lot more where that came from the Koala and Wade van Niekerk whose name appears they're miles down but that's absolutely irrelevant he won his heat and did it with some style Matthew Hudson Smith does make it through as the quickest or second quickest of the fastest loses Maslak also made it through the double World Indoor champion and it was Jonathan Baule who made it through as the slowest of the fastest losers so both the brothers will be in the semi finalists and great races to come there tomorrow that's for sure asani Sufi round 3 from France 18th position at the moment last attempt now to get that 14 27th in me World Indoor Championships no that's a long way back from the qualifier there you see the qualifier marking blue white flag goes up some of these athletes really struggling to get the qualified distance here today much the same as I said the men yesterday we really had trouble dishes down at the trackside are almost perfectly there's any wind at all not exactly warm at 20 degrees here not cold either moving just one place up further I think with that particular performance but really not that good at all and then there's confirmation of the four automatic qualifiers from Group A in the women's hammer throw now we're in a copper on opponent leading the way 74 meters and 97 Hitchin manna Sheik and Wang through and Group B will be starting very shortly which includes the world-record holder Anita food our chick of Poland little disappointing there for Ratcliffe of New Zealand is 64 72 I thought Gwen Barry at 69 12 may make it that way down what want to expect for the top American there meanwhile back to the triple bicycle jump Lafond from topic now best 1382 the second round typical record holder at the hundred meter hurdles high jump long jump and triple jump multi-talented really this woman range East are looking at the arms going rim ball fashion cuts it back a bit No she won't be happy with that again some 17 centimeters short of the plasticine something's been really struggling but the big favourites really I suppose right - and the bug when going through the farmed disappointing 32 centimeters below that second round jump but a terrier Spanish athlete now just 21 years of age good jump in a second out 1407 movie another 23 silver pin yourself worked up to see what you could do technically just fell apart on the second phase didn't it really think overall then we stand it isn't great so something's where it probably will now be looking at the qualification of the first for the best twelve jobs to go through they might even qualify with a reasonable performance but that obviously wasn't even in that sort of category trying too hard lost it really in the second phase and then the third just disappeared March is intense she's still in with a chance at to 1407 might just get her through all the athletes over the backstraight have their coaches just a hand and the chat sort of just between the jumps and work out what what to do or what to do garish next on the runway what can she do when all around are really not performing very well at all oh that's a lot better that could be very close European Indoor champion the perfect on the board ghost really did very well there that was a as good as you're going to get I think it could be very close to qualifying that's just wait and see [Applause] long wait yeah there it is 14:25 good one of the very few of the triple jump is over there executing the qualifying by right [Applause] going back now to costume round three Olympic finest in 2016 16 oh yeah that's a good job - she'll be happy with that [Music] Ceaser's best of only 1409 so she goes over the qualifier that's a season's best buy could sit in the distance let's say it's pretty close to the port good long lecture to the end look at that yeah that's not bad at all Portuguese athlete I think still waiting for the time but I sorry the distance I think that's gonna get us qualifying and she's gonna be really happy because I said this is a good season performance there it is 14 35 a personal best in fact now one of the coaches jumping over there to congratulate up great crowd for a morning session we're probably only a couple of thousand shy of a sellout we've had some fabulous field action some great 400s we've got the women's hundred heats to come and the men's 8th as well well back over there on the far side of the track Kimberly Williams of Jamaica sit consent from the last two Olympics big job this year 14:54 to a credit Jamaicans obviously having a great cherish that they really are 1409 she's in 10th place she's living dangerously foul on the second a little bit better or not that might be a little bit better not sure but she's intent so far you're right though Steve the Jamaicans are popping up in loads of events already in this championship aren't they had the discus last night in the field and very shortly this applies Jamaicans coming on the track in the women's 100-meter needs as well a long way back to the Boer 20 centimeters back from the board just wait and see it's deceptive sometimes some of these measurements that we get don't seem to be worked as displayed well 1414 that's good she's improved she's moved up to ninth place I think that might see her through [Music] here's the start list for the first of six heats in the women's 100 meters Muriel ahurei the class here in Lane Saints Asha Philip done so well to bounce back from a ruptured need she was trying in the early stage of her career to balance life as a sprinter with top class trampolining first leg of the British team who got the bronze last year Sheena looking Kemper's having a good season national champions semi finals in the 200 last year 1101 PB this year to where they still offer a free new city then Jura levy got a real a silver way back in 2011 reap October of turkmenistan law of Macau and here is Muriel a a double silver medalist from Moscow and she is in splatting shape third fastest woman in the world this year with Sydney of the Netherlands on her outside remember it is only the first three who will advance here as of right a horray in 8 there she is the compat reott talu is running really well so the Ivory Coast got a good 4 by 1 quartet in the making watch out for Phillip on the far side great performer indoors she usually starts well looking Kemper next to her in 3 levy of Jamaica 5 but that's a a in 8 has got a good start looking temple with a little bit of ground to make that levy trying to come through the middle looking temper now with Muriel Horry on this side looking pepper from the a levy running well and look at that we said she was in good form with 1101 a pp this season and she has just smashed that 1095 rounded out all right 1104 levy came through for third with 1109 at national it will have to wait to see whether 1114 is screwing up to go Clarissa fastest loser what a run from the German that was amazing means Steve over thanks to you Robin Peter back nodding her head very acceptable shaking her head up and she can believe it it was Lance standing run I wonder if I wonder if Catherine the start from Philip helped her because it through it drew her away and then a a the other danger was way out of her sight line great run now the impressive part with that run there from the German where she didn't start particularly well because I should Philip he's a good starter but what she did at 50 meters onwards was absolutely turn on and afterburner that I've never seen that German athlete had ten point nine five seconds she just kept going there was no slowing till she just kept going faster and faster to the line and I think you're right she was in disbelief wasn't she because well gone under 11 seconds look at her face absolutely superb running that oh she looked across he saw the dive and I just put my word where's that cup oh that's got to be one of the fastest performances by a German athlete in recent years it's gotta be a new lifetime best 1095 and she's still only 20 that's a great start to the women's hundred meters isn't it well it wasn't the the free-for-all that we thought it might be for a horray she did fine she looked relatively comfortable there with 1104 and she really has had a wonderful season the 29 year old she's run 1083 this year only two women have run faster than her but she was upstaged there in that qualification looking kemper second from the right-hand side as Kathleen said she got up level with Asha Philip who did well to hang on for 1114 she may well go through as one of these six fastest losers we'll have to wait and see but a rate coming off second-best there to the German well it's the equal 10th fastest time in the world and she matches the time of Daphna skippers of the netherlands very impressive Gina looking kemper with a lifetime best a a and levy through Phillip will have to wait to see if 1114 is good enough to go through as one of the six fastest losers what a start from the German 1114 should certainly be enough I don't think there should be too many problems about there is a really quick eat obviously hate to just coming out from the cornice and I think a little bit of a delay here we actually got the athletes on the track already but it just showing you coming through and they Topsham they're obviously the one that all be working towards Olympic champion up one and two hundred meters she lines up in the second Pete took a jump over the far side has been going all through the proceedings to silver now as I said most of the athletes struggling a little bit with the conditions or the run-up just wait and see what the silver can do now and the last stages of the triple no that's a way way way back from that qualifying distance from South American champion not a great performance I don't think on the board but from there on it didn't really materialize did it hard to control the triple jump really is it is a technique event that demands strength and control at speed the bagman I think just packing up a kit lying along with the rest of the other triple jumpers the silver just waiting I think she was probably the last of the athletes to get a jump in just looking back but I don't think it's gonna be any significant for now she shakes her head twenty first with that first rug job at 1374 soaps no silver I'm afraid day in the triple jump is finished earlier today we had the first two event in the heptathlon the hundred meter hurdles and this athlete the favorite nappy TM did a respectable time of 13 54 you have to back out of the top 10 placings but of course the high jump is a premier event 198 in Rio last year which was higher than the gold medalist in the individual event and she's very tall super Li built for the high jump and this is what happened after the hurdles nadine Visser was a brilliant 1285 run to get 11 47 points from Kendall Williams Carolyn Schaeffer Erica Boogaard and it better Katrina Johnson Thompson all major contenders for the medal here and tiem back in 11th place but not much to worry about that the hurdles isn't one of her better events the high jump though will be and she'll expect to move up this leaderboard very significantly the heptathlon high jump in factors that already underway was split into two pools with seven at one ninety plus jumpers going into less well after that wonderful run in the first heat from Luke and cover of Germany we're now going to the second heat and this holds perhaps the favorite for the whole event the lane Thompson of Jamaica the Olympic champion at 100 and 200 meters unbeaten this year at her favorite distances she runs in Lane 2 there she is bow in her hair easy to spot she runs in lane 2 well we've seen that the track is fast than that previously what can this women do in the second of the hundred meters for women line up there Thompson in to Washington of United States entry Neola of France in port and Manuel of Canada in five-way of China and six some fourth and seventh and Wingfield our mortar in eighth as you said it's the first three and a sixth fastest through to the semi-finals tomorrow all eyes will be on this woman what sort of corner she's going to produce here in the gaze enjoying her time out there on the track there's the performance these is best obtained at 71 just behind a personal best at 1070 sofas you can juice that sort of form here she beat speed as they hit perhaps of the other athletes but they're gonna give a real challenge area Washington the United States third in the United States Championships double collegiate champion in 2016 and she represented that great athletic college university ocean state of Oregon just past there than a manual wave one of very good Chinese athletes again running then since torch opportunity - the tobago world youth silver medalist in 2015 very small obviously very fast out of the blocks and then right on the outside its Charlotte windy built on Morton transferred from Great Britain litigation it's Ortiz now record holder at the one and two [Applause] as they go down to the block sweeping a little bit of rain here first time you've had it in the last two days it caused much of a problem for the sprinters [Applause] so I clean Lee Clow manual got a good start there in five also going well on the inside game is touching he expects a Thompson streak me away man you are just behind her in second place and then I think it's Washington United States those three clearly the rest of the field quitting time 11:05 but there is a little bit of rain and that might have just stopped him running as fast they were the like but having said that no doubt about who goes through there [Applause] when she ran a 1094 into a - one point four meter headwind and she did it in a kind of combination of trainers and spikes it went around the world the picture it was like Thompson's just run some 11 seconds because she said she wasn't confident in a spike because they hurt her Achilles and she flew away a world-class field so she likes running here in London and that well is the control that you'd expect from the forum that she's in in the medals that she's won she's the best athlete in the world over the one in the 200 meters this season but the downpour of rain just came out the blue and that the athletes you have to deal with that but that was very controlled by the Jamaican they'd be tough to beat oh yes she looks so good so smooth Jamaican women when they come through and they produced that promise but so smooth when they perform at this level no stress at all Emanuel just behind how they can Aidan look really good and Washington the United States well she was third in the championship American children all she had to do to qualify an interesting feature of this stadium is that the roof extends over all these vector area and over a little bit of the track and in fact the inside lanes have much more rain than the outside lanes indeed they do it's a that the set up is that some of the parties who say Peter a wet some a bit of dry well I think lane if you look down at the track Lane nine isn't wet until it gets to about the 30 meter mark so if you're in that Lane and it's I'm not saying it's gonna be a problem for the heat but if you ring that Lane in the final and it starts pouring then you in a district advantage [Music] [Applause] Thomson certainly looked very very comfortable there for 1105 still can't get over that 1095 from looking Kemper in the first heat fantastic run from the German it really was it's interesting isn't it because she arrived he with a personal best of 1101 so technically if we broke it down and it's only six hundredths of a second faster but when you break that sub 11 second barrier as a female sprinter you are in a completely different level so it's not a lot in time but that's extremely impressive as Elaine Thompson's victory of 11:05 is confirmed for the heat win in heat number two but no luck and Kemper for me I think it took us all a bit by surprise so even though it wasn't a massive improvement when you go through a certain Barre 11 seconds 22 seconds and 50 seconds over 400 it's a big breakthrough I think the good thing it produces new talent but coming through that we didn't expect that's a good thing there's the triple jumps of Salt Rock you're over there with 1457 qualifying easy rosette just behind her those are the big two to look forward to in the final in bog win obviously coming through Koster mimouna so it's gonna be I think as we expected qualifying there just by coming through with the distances 1409 1407 really that's not good performances but in the end they qualify through Federer Theriot getting the last performance there a last job I should say to get us through to the qualify sauce to the final Steve I think that duel between Rojas and Katarina Park win the two South Americans will be absolutely fascinating in the final if bar Guin has been so dominant for so long but Rojas has really become a force to be reckoned with and it's almost a little bit of the changing of the guard there and they're both in that final well indeed the women's triple jump final on Monday that's when the men's triple jump qualifying is when Christian Taylor of America will go through his third world title and no doubt do battle with his teammates in the rest of the world 18 meters maybe in that one Taylor's in superb form I had the pleasure of witnessing in field when he jumped over 80 meters again at the Eugene diamond league and I had to tell him it was wind legal and he didn't realize it was that the smile he had was even bigger using good form the American well there's the a group in the heptathlon high jump and that includes most of the top competitors headed of course by TM but there are no less than seven of that group who have high jumped over 190 Katrina Johnson Thompson 198 just like TM as well they started that group at higher height 186 in that group and they're underway and this is the high jump group B but look at the DNS against Lara I can yet see ad monena who as Rob referred to earlier seemed to have pulled a hamstring in hitting the hurdles very hard in the first team so that's very sad so that's the world at number three on the rankings this year who's already out of the heptathlon and as I said that's the sort of lesser heights and well be quite a long time to go I think before the we get to the really top ones in this Stadium the Sun in Group A 170 I think the height for that no 174 second attempt there and of course this rain is the last thing the heptathlon Sneed the high jump above all is the vent get me seriously affected you've got to land on your back in a puddle on the on the mat it's not fun at all less than ideal for the hets athletes and just referring back to the Latvians withdrawal talking to Tony minutes yellow of course was Jess Ellis's coach for all those great victories that Jess enjoys over the last 10 years or so he said it takes an athlete in the top three or four to have a problem to allow one of the next best to come through and have an opportunity for a medal so disappointment for the Latvian but maybe now there's a chance for the lights of Katerina Johnson Thompson who was fifth or sixth in that incredible performance and that incredible heptathlon in gottsy so it's a little bit wider open there for the for the bronze and the silver perhaps yeah well Johnson Thompson was fourth from the world list and the third has just gone so yeah now de Monroe in fact started as a high jump specialist competed in the World Championships in this event in 2009 like most depth at least like succumbing quite early in the competition on height because of course it's so important to get at least a height in and get the points so here she goes at 174 and as expected that's not really a problem even in the pouring rain for an athlete who's done over 190 like Sharon de Monroe it is second attempt clearance and 74 so back onto the tracks there's your lineup for heat 386 in the women's 100 meters Tori Bowie of the USA lines up in lane number 4 inside Desiree Henry great britain Northern Ireland 21 year old this season just three one hundreds shy of a lifetime best trains in Holland did the same through Tuesday flesh skippers willing to claim here in 2012 and then won an Olympic medal last year in Rio in the relay Tory Bowie roses in 2015 World Championships over this systems the US Champion 1078 at her best last year a full set of medals from the Rio Olympics in all sprint events last season will start in three sadly the Netherlands in five Tenorio of Ecuador in six here at the Cook Islands at seven and the familiar face of blessing acaba de of Nigeria Commonwealth Games champion in both sprints the medals there's a Nigerian in a world class long jumper as well jump event the Nigerian in lane number eight and the lava Palio of Bulgaria the double sprint finalist at the Athens Olympics Thompson line but this is the American Tory Bowie ten point nine five seconds this season the world number seven she's run a twenty-one point seven seven two hundred meters this season Tory Bowie acaba de of Nigeria in eight top three semi finals tomorrow [Applause] the 26 year old American she'll take the victory on the battery will go through in second 11.20 five seconds for the American well she took silver in this discipline in the Rio Olympics last year along with a bronze over the 200 meters a slight headwind of - nought point three meters the rain is still beating down yes it got a bit tight for the minor placings towards the end none of a Kaleo seems to have been around for an eternity really good start there from Desiree Henry on the far side but once Bui got into her running the Briton came under pressure she misses out just by a hundred behind la love Akali although she's in the fastest looser spot at the moment took blessing or cabaret a little while to get into her running but it is cold it's absolutely lashing with rain and it's about getting through with enough energy to shine in the semi sand the final but buoy look really good there she interesting cat that she says she thinks the 200 meters is her best event bearing in mind she's an Olympic silver medalist over the one that that was good qualification from the American occupier a second and Lila McCauley Oh on the far left-hand side as you look there was dragged through by blessing acaba rate for the third spot still going strong so long after performing well at the Athens Olympics just missing a medal 13 years ago so Tori Bowie I think she made that 200 meter statement after a Diamond League win in Eugene 21.7 7 seconds she ran there she be milah we both Thompson skippers and Felix over the half lap distance earlier this season really was a phenomenal performance nice and controlled by the American so she'll go back rest up for the semi finals tomorrow it's a confirmation then Tori Bowie 11.0 five seconds automatically through with acaba rate a little over Colio Britten is Desiree Henry and potentially Tenorio of ecuadorlt we'll wait to see if they can pick up one of the sixth fastest non automatic qualifying spaces well she's in a training partner just running the previous Heat it's time for the flying Dutch woman of this era shall I say yes Fanny blanka's Cohen a real benchmark of success for Dutch sprinting just after the Second World War skippers is the current star she's the reigning world champion over 200 meters I think she'll be disappointed perhaps with what she followed up with last year in Rio yes she got the silver over the two but I think she was fifth in the one and she hasn't necessarily been as sparklingly quick so far this season meanwhile we have the qualification group be preparing for action in the women's hammer we do indeed and the familiar name of Anita Vlad our chick was on that first page the world record holder so figure of opens up her account the Polish Ally my UTM bronze back in 2014 well number 600 the camera had to pan out there because that was absolutely flying from the Polish athlete remember 71 meters and 50 is the automatic qualifying distance for the top 12 for the final on Monday all the athletes in Group A remember we had four automatic qualifiers from the a group Wang Hitchin Nana she and Cochran well 71 meters at 72 automatic qualifying the Steve mentioned earlier in some of the horizontal jumps the lines are seeing on your screens aren't actually in the right place so some of the distances which may look like they're dropping below automatic qualifying are actually fast connects Johanna through the ropes 71 meters and 72 automatically through all the more worthy because of course they're having to a throw from a very wet circle now indeed you can see the rate over just right on script as Peter Matthews just said Laure China slipping in the slippery conditions well there will be officials as we normally have with little towels it'll be coming around and keeping the circle as dry as possible but let's have a look at that their losses are footing she was lucky there so an oath wrote for the Chinese athlete just whatever 70 metres this season back for a couple more throws the Asian champion the defending world champion the world record holder Anita blowed our cheek of Poland don't blink because she might miss this I've got a feeling the Polish start hopefully right on cue did we expect anything bless you give yourself a little smile that world record throw of a - two meters of 98 in August last year she's just dominant Peter in terms of women's hammer throw for the last two years and just keeps increasing her own world record bit by bit we've got about a 6 meter advantage here for anyone else in the world and there so it shows 74-61 she is more dominant in her event than any other athlete in any other event just to confirm 74-61 automatic qualifying of course for the dark chick well we're halfway through these heats of the women's 100 meters three down three to go here is the lineup for the for Pete in the women's 100 meters Daphne skipper's the reigning world champion over 200 meters got the silver in Beijing over the one and Mary Jo say talu of the Ivory Coast in seven she's having a fantastic season Karina Horn of South Africa running well this year as well on the outside in nine there's the view from the point of view of Italo as the camera moves left towards Daphne skippers she's gone 22:10 for the two this season 1095 this year her season's best a real star global sprinting but by her own high standards perhaps not quite yet this season firing on all cylinders Porat of Switzerland Bernardi neo of French Polynesia land Azzurri of Ecuador me dove angrier and then Mari Jose 8r knew how unlucky last year she ran brilliantly with 1086 and 20 to 21 and just missed the medal in the one and the two but she's in cracking form 10 9 this season Zahi formerly of the Ivory Coast now representing France and then Karina horn on the outside 11 1 0 she's produced this season so skippers in two towering seven zarnian France in eight and Hornet on the far right of your picture there for South Africa she'll be nearest the camera when they get into the set position look on campus had a 1095 Elaine Thomson 11:05 Tori Bui 11:05 what kind of marker will skippers than talu lay down here ahead of what they hope will be an appearance in the semis tomorrow skipper's hoping to return to the kind of form and took her to that scorching 200 time in Beijing two years ago anyway first time skippers has gone well on the far side and so to Tardos skippers up into running taru coming through the middle in Horn trying to make a move to the outside Tarlow from skippers very tight on the line for third maybe Karina horns might just have taken it very close but 11 flat talu is in cracking form there it's been confirmed 11 on the nose and skippers well she she is there 11:08 but not quite as impressive perhaps as we would have thought and Karina Horn has indeed taken third a head of Cora of Switzerland by two one-hundredths president we thought but you had that awkward inside lane which is very wet in skipper's got off very fast indeed talu ela thought God would have got a faster start she's smaller than skippers but she comes through so fast over the last 20 meters or so and just gets it ahead of the Dutch woman on the inside horn getting third thereby to 100 okura of Switzerland running well not too far outside her lifetime there she is in a fastest lose a spot at the moment the slowest of those 1141 but charlie is is definitely a feature I think for a medal here she's running really really well and that was another great performance well she's run a ten point nine zero seconds this year just full 100 Soph a lifetime base which she set last year see little glance to a left there but for me tyloo skippers they were putting some effort in in that 100 meters there you know you think back to the heat before and obviously the class and the ease of Elaine Thompson those two are battling in that heat in that 42 the women's hundred so a decent time was produced but a lot of effort in my opinion was put into actually getting that result from those two do you think skippers has sort of gone off the boil a little bit from her great performances two years ago I think the performances to years ago were obviously so outstanding remember when she won the World title you're looking at record books in European athletics terms that she was challenging and then beating which were outstanding their fourth potentially do athlete's Plateau yes they do so has she gone off the boil in terms of Statistics she would if you look at the basics of times yes but has she in terms of consistency and world-class performance now she's always there or thereabout but she's obviously not running the exact times as she was a couple of seasons ago maría josé talu daphne skippers and Karina Horne are into the semi finals Cora we'll have to wait and see it's good enough at the moment but two heats still to go so from the track back into the field jjang of China medals from the last three Olympic Games the 31 year old she's gone over 72 metres this season but three competitions listed for Earth in China so arrives here in London in decent form having gone over the 72 meter line remember we've seen further off and the logic automatically through from this be grouped [Music] was the asian junior champion back 15 years ago 71 meters and 39 seventh place top 12 needed for the women's hammer final on Monday Alexandre Laverne EA of France the wall bronze medalist two years ago she was voted French woman athlete of the year after her bronze medal well nearing the outside sector line a lot of lines going on on the screen but the only distance the athletes are concerned about is the seventy one meter and fifty automatic qualifying she's done 71 meters and 71 this year the French athlete French champion for automatically through from Group A to so far from Group B make that 72 meters and 69th make that three from Group B the French Anthony automatically qualifies clint's of Ukraine while she didn't qualify for the Olympic final last year another athlete who were the best is a meter over the qualifying distance needed this season but that's well she lets out a big puff of air the Ukrainian who was third at their national championship to this season a real low carriage of the hammer she watches it fly now 61 meters in 24 my first attempt of the afternoon two more efforts so mightily different conditions for the group be qualifying we beat our than there was for the athletes this morning with the rain and with the RET Maggie Yuen of the USA Sikandar the US Championships this year so the US collegiate champion 74 meters and 56 she's in good form the American so a little bit of a dip in terms of the distance in this woman's hammer group being the last couple of throws collegiate champion representing Arizona State University no throw given you saw on the replay she approached the front of the circle for two more efforts to come for the American switching back now to the women in the Handy meter seat five track still a little bit wet down there but I think it's actually stopped raining but hey they're being displayed by the cameraman turn it up Tobago the fastest in the field I suppose with the seasons best of 1080 to sixth in the sprints and Rio she is distinctive hairstyle so we can pick her up pretty quickly I repeat amongst these women here's the lineup can with G of Switzerland they see of Jamaica tomato tell me it pizza party so Germany Chad India I eaten up Tobago of Canada and Santos of Brazil this heap five just being introduced by the PA here sumon face he goes in treatment Comanche there she is at Richland European bronze medal at country meters sees his best this year of the 11:07 Simone facie one of the good Jamaicans obviously Elaine Thompson in their chest at second place there obviously one in this race to watch out for when the first thing for to make a team which won the world relay back in 2009 Pinto Germany well just saw heard the patches right in that incredibly fast looking keV back what can she do the German environment at least weeks very quickly to ie do that in Tobago as I said six in basements in Rio and the fastest interfere somewhere outside Canada Santos of Brazil make up this heap five of the women's hundred meters as we keep saying just three the qualifier and the sixth fastest through to the semi-finals tomorrow graphics they're displaying the flags of the athletes as they go down dungey facie some a dope Pinto Chan ie you Canon and Santos and seeta's be displayed in return without Langtry Oh [Applause] full-stop a Pinto I think was stumbled out the blocks but I'm not sure whether she's gonna be a creditor this year's been caught by the camera but it's very difficult I think sometimes cleaner to see who actually no doubt it was her who fell out senator Lee and they didn't even record a reaction time she went off so early but whether it would be a faulty start or whether she'll be disqualified the Juba CA I think to her left though that may have said Lucerne the cameras obviously focusing on Pinto because she did break probably that's what I thought was a slight movement just to her left wasn't see nut and giving it to pizza that is disappointing isn't it really never liked to see athletes afters Rob said all their training being taken off the track it's it's not something you'd like to see but I suppose it's one of the rules you have to abide by it and that's it so we go back down now to this heat five the bungee Switzerland facing to make up some a dope some Thome and principie and I'm afraid pin time journey has been taken off the track Chad of India ie Trinidad Tobago Buchanan Canada Santos Brazil it's time they're away mr. clean start going round they're facing of Jamaica in lane three and on an outside company also girl rights compete at the moment may see they're becoming fast on the other side here in Santos and Buchanan a Santos they're on the outside in Lane eight really left it late that she came through really fast the winning time he'd 1105 she's really pleased with that into a headwind there as well a lifetime best need rounded down 11:04 can bungee Michele me ie have been given exactly the same time can bungee takes second ie heard Simone facie of Jamaica left a little bit at the start although she will at the moment occupy a fastest lose a spot for what have finished from Santos she came through like a train in the closing stages on the outside well she's obviously happy that's a personal but you can't really ask for more than that in the championships came through very fast as you say Rob right on the outside lane there ie well a little bit disappointing I think didn't look as good as we all thought let's watch this again I got a good stop also going one at this stage is Pacey of Jamaica in three and butchie's going while they're on the inside and very wet inside laying there but look on the outside down Santos starts motoring at about 80 meters or so come through in the end dips a line and gets hit by a millimeter or so I think from maybe can boogie or maybe on the inside there I II would have to wait to see for the official result on that one yeah Michelle Lee ie being given third although they've got exactly the same time but good running there from Santos so we've seen some consistency around the 11:05 mark Elaine Thompson 11:05 Bui 11:05 cha Lu 11 flat different scenario is Santos because that's the fastest that she's ever run but nonetheless excellent qualification from the Brazilian especially bearing in mind the disruption to all of their races after that misfortune of the German athlete Pinto being disqualified great overhead shot this yeah she up looked by looking at it that way she was actually in the lead all the way really I do it did a disservice in the normal commentary but you could it's actually hard to pick the angle here but the overhead cameras did a great shot there to see the whole of the race I like the Olympic earrings as well that's cool I'll get you a pair Rob don't worry the classic 1980 pair from Moscow Steve got four yeah I'll have to really you know think about giving them to you rob but okay while we're now back in the high jump and this is a crucial moment for Kendall Williams than one of the favorites from the USA American champion third attempt at 177 so a very talented jumper No so that is disappointing so although not a complete disaster because she does have a a 174 to her credit today from Nathalie who's done 186 that is a disappointment and that's by one of the favorites the top two incidentally TM and johnson thompson are have elected to enter the competition at the height above this at 180 but for Kendall Williams that's the end of her competition obviously tricky conditions with the very wet run-up they've had the squeegees out there the rollers to try to absorb as much as the rain as they possibly can Damon Rowe who is in herself a top high jumper also coming out for her third attempt formerly a high jump specialist a 190 plus jumper her third attempt at 177 Americans a lot of problems of these Championships and I'm afraid we have to add her to it wasn't really close and de Monroe exits the competition like a compatriot Kendall Williams 174 one of the problems always for the Americans and Katherine may have an opinion on this is that they have to peak so well just to get to the championships and that they may fail on the occasion but we'll come back to that later well indeed it's a tough ask isn't it for the Americans but sky down then in the women's have a qualification be well that's better the yelling it makes a difference that's a good throw there and we saw out of Romania probably get the the yelling interim tries this challenge is it it does indeed it's the first round of throat she's gone over 75 beaches this season it looks like she's going to get automatic qualifying as well to this woman's hammer throw final looks close towards the passing the 71 meter 50 line oh it does in these 71 meters and 78 the big Q automatic qualifying understandably delighted so from the field back onto the track for the sixth heat of the women's 100 meters deja Stephens from the USA starts in lane number 4 Kelly and baptise from Trinidad and Tobago in five and as Peter mentioned it is a tough ask for the American athletes its cutthroat their qualifying top three at their championships that's the team they bring so they peak to getting condition and form to qualify for the major championships each year are expected to do it after major championships when it comes around as well the well of Congo will start into Morrises of Jamaica will start in three but this is dangerous Stevens of the USA the US Champion this year the 200 meters and the limited finalists last year in Rio Kellyanne Baptiste the world number six ten point eight eight sentence this season coached by Otto Bolden warns over 100 meters in 2011 ten point eight eight as I say this season Swoboda of Poland twenty years old we started late number six upon him seven break with in Northern Ireland Britain's youngest athletic medallist in Rio last year when she won a bronze in the 4 by 100 meter relay with her British team mates so the sixth and final heat of the women's 100 metres see some information on your screen in terms of times for the non automatic qualifiers remember we need six fastest non automatic qualifiers as well as the first three in each of these heats Kellyanne Baptiste in five the American Stevens in for final Heat are the women's 100 meters so theme starts that pretty even start for the fire starters expected from Slovakia : delay number six the Jamaican go one in late number three is Great Britain's Danny meter well the crowd gradually got louder and louder here in the London stadium unofficially 11.15 seconds and it was a close race but it's been given to the British athletes so down we'll need to just 1/100 of a second outside a lifetime best the biggest race individually of her career and she wins the heat of the World Championships automatically through Stevens also we'll go through the American a Morrison the Jamaican he was a tight six and final Heat but a good one from a British point of view and the American Stephen was going comfortably through as well a great run from these they made a game a night seems to be the one that they all come through fast in these heats and it might be the pencil it's probably the driest of all the lathes but having said that you've got to do the performance and that was a great run from the Jamaican Morrison gone away well second from the right-hand side watch Nita coming through nearest the camera in the American just managing to get ahead of Kelly Anne Baptiste outsider and that's actually a disappointing run for Baptiste considering she's run 1088 this season and she's come through as a fastest loser with 11 21 so the boulder incidentally fifth in this one also goes through as a fastest litter but neater nearest the camera really good run from her you can't really ask much more of an athlete than to get that close to a PB in a heat she knew she'd have to run that fast to make it and she did and maybe Catherine being away from the pressure in the other lanes was actually better for her well she ran her own race didn't she you could see the back there on the right of the shots with twin lanes three four five and six but the twenty-year-old Britain second at the UK championships this year she ran in the heats of the Olympics in Rio last season good running by the British athletes through to the semi-finals tomorrow good depth of times there as well because the first five will have fat make it through to the final we know that now that the heats are completed so Swoboda and Baptiste are okay so confirmation then Great Britain and Northern Ireland America and Jamaica automatically through with Nita Stevens and Morrison and you know how these World Championships are working very shortly we'll give you all the qualifiers for the women's semi-final at the 100 after confirmation of Santos's great run in her personal best of 11.04 seconds [Music] well now the crowd still enthralled of course by the height they although there in fact is the summary Catherine you mentioned Geena Luke and Kemper heading the times there with 1095 talu Jorge Santos Thompson Bowie shippers most the favorites they're comfortably through some of them running harder than others but no I think real major casualties in that first round no it's teed up to be a really intriguing set of semi finals tomorrow and the times will get quicker partly because of the increase in pressure of the semis but also hopefully touchwood it will be a little bit warmer for them tomorrow many of those times run in driving rain and wind so the top women are through to the semis in the one we return our attention to the heptathlon and the star of the show TM first attempt 180 that was her opening height and no problem at all for the Belgian star she's got points to pick up but she's already doing that like Tia Johnson Thompson also electing to come in at this height we had the shock of seeing the two Americans go out but TR managing to negotiate the conditions without any problems at all and to be fascinating to see if we do get up into the high 190 territories again from an athlete like TM after that epic confrontation with Katrina Johnson Thompson here in the high jump in Rio Johnson Thompson first attempt 180 again no problem at all Great War of the just not too exactly job done because there's a lot to go we hope she'll certainly look a big score in his butt is already a one against her name 2053 we add the total score to the high jump score but there's quite a long way to go so the depth athletes will probably be going for quite a long while and may well have the stadium to themselves at the end of this morning session meanwhile the hammer continues and this is a deanna price of the USA who had a no throw to start with now a regular 70 meter thrower so here she goes in the second round [Applause] looks better yeah that's challenging the necessary standard there seems that one over it in fact so while that Maggie Yuen had a disappointing throw no such problem for the other American that we've just seen Deanna price in this high jump so just we can check for the hammer distance here for Deanna price [Music] and her throwing coming down 70 to 78 she's through to the final now then vissa really excelled in the hurdles this morning the fastest time which is in Group D of the high jump so third going at a slightly lower height at the moment this she goes on her second attempt and sails clear nice jump by Visser this is not one of her mainstream events I suppose you could save nonetheless she's still a 180 jumper and so 171 so far and she certainly be hoping for a little more than that Carolyn Schaeffer and the second attempt at 180 now we're switching back to the higher standard group Shaffer the second best in the world in the heptathlon this year and a very consistent competitor and showing that sort of ability there by going over 180 on her second attempt her best is 186 so some way down from the likes of TM and johnson Thompson but she's an athlete who tends to perform very consistently well over the whole range of the seven events and rarely has a conspicuous failure better now second attempt for her and she's popped over as well in the B group it's fast still trembling but it stays on 174 now for an athlete with the best of 181 still fairly early days in the heptathlon I think I was saying before they tend to come in in a multi event at a lower height probably than they wouldn't an individual competition just to make sure there was no disaster and getting a no height because that will really add to the whole competition and even if it's way below your vest you can still pick up 800 or 900 points this is a former under-23 champion great Sadako Estonia oh no crashing into that one fortunately the rain has stopped and having cleaned up quite a lot of the water from the area their conditions obviously improving so we now look at another American in some trouble this is Erika Boogaard her third attempt at 180 and she passed 177 so Boogaard then who's a 192 jumper as a personal best would expect this good fast approach here no trash is out so that means all three American helped athletes have only got a best of 174 to their credit today and that's quite a serious decline in the sort of points that they would have expected who guards total after two events then one 992 now in the second group the bar is at 174 now looking again at Visser two attempts left this are over 2,000 points without their big score of course in the ER Dalls but this is an event in which Johnson Thompson and TM gonna expect to stretch their lead they really are a class apart and boo God is one of the next best of the major contenders with her 192 and she's gone so the two pools side-by-side one call at 174 this book story she started the day with a personal best in the hurdles and the young 19 year old Swiss athlete third attempt at 180 and took three attempts at 177 as our card shows oh and she's done it vilest great to see one of the youngsters really coming through here she is a rising talent she went over 6,300 points in the European Junior Championships and she's having a fine day here personal best already in those hurdles and 180 is only a centimeter short of her personal best in the high jump as well we'll help her to move up the standings and we check the totals after two events certainly the conditions may have played some part in that we've lost in a number of competitors but nonetheless in this first group there is still about seven or eight women left in the competition now we have 183 which show old-timers is exactly 6 foot and the other pool was still on 174 but most of the top jumpers are in fact in the a group daddy Chu had a wonderful year last year at the European Junior champ at the European Senior Championships when she took the bronze medal this is a personal best they're showing that she's the sort of competitor who can literally rise to the occasion and she has cleared 187 in the high jump indoors twenty-three-year-old miss if improvement on the personal investment she took the European bronze Idol over 200 points to heptathlon scores so clean card popular not very important failure at 168 there she goes 183 first jumper nope this will be eight jumpers in fact in at this height although just looking at the computer TM and johnson thompson are passing this height well it's been an action-packed morning as we head into the afternoon and the track action will round off with six heats in the men's 800 meters let's get the egg on vet who starts in Lane two in this first one so qualification all the men we have six heats and the top three from each +6 fastest losses overall will advance into the semi finals tomorrow real disappointment that we don't have David rhodesia here back in the stadium where he famously round the 800 meters in a hundred seconds there's just a reminder it's the top three in each rhodesia failing to recover from an injury he hadn't been in it in sparkling form by his own mercurial standards but he would have done anything he could to be here if he possibly could so this is the first of the six seats then Kimye GaN vet very talented youngster still just a teenager he starts on the inside into through Wimbledon for the United States in six trauma on the outside useful athlete from sweet not just the crowds who are packed in here on our first morning session great to see so many photographers there we just seen cropper on the outside al-safi of the night now remember it's tears of Puerto Rico pan-american finalist a couple of years ago semi sydney olympics he's gone inside 145 for the first time this season then inside him drew wins or third in the u.s chaps 144 63 he's in good form it's poised in focus Jose Eber Dean of Nigeria Bell Farrar of Algeria our uni of Tunisia and then kiss the AEGON bet world junior champion last year and still a junior this year second in the Paris Diamond League second in robotics 144 0 for the 5th fastest man in the world this year and we have paiace on a mound on the inside in lane 1 his lifetime best just a fraction outside two minutes so he won't be featuring in the battle for the semis here we go then first a six seats in the men's 800 meters so kick the AEGON bet to make sure this is as smooth as possible our uni of Tunisia has got out hard just outside him in lane 3 as Beth tries to come through on the inside and the Kenyan very sensibly does take close all that at the front and he leaves with Brahma off Sweden now coming sweeping past on his shoulder while crying I came right from Lane eight there right across that's a good movie because you've got to get up there it's the fastest tactical race in the Canada one two and four if you're the best I think you should do but 800 meters if you make one mistake even the best athletes to lose spoken for the voice of experience there they take the Bell in this the first heat of the men's 800 meters andreas grammar of Sweden leads he's had a cracking season that vent is right behind him but Travis come through in about 51 and a half there but you can see now he's starting to tire the leaders taking a look around a bit as you would expect come through so keep yeh gombet now leads Khurana is on the inside but our uni of June is here is there and for the first time bill Farrar beginning just to struggle a little bit our uni in third krama second bet leads the long loading stride of the Kenyan our ohyeah trying to hang on for Puerto Rico try to come through on the outside they're all just tying up just a fraction that's going to take this one rather coming home for second place and just coming through on the inside his window of the United States for the third automatic spot well he did what he needed to do there Steve but he had to work without I think the Kenyan yeah he did didn't look incredibly smooth did it really one forty five seventy seven it was a tough run some of these heats are not really seeded that wow this is perhaps not one of the better of the seeds easier heat really if you look at it that way but he did already have to do better came round at the 200 meter mark kept himself ahead of the rest of it they started coming through and it was as you say only Windell on United States that really left it very very late the American coming through to snatch third places there he is one casualty one of the faster men suddenly dropped out with 250 meters to go that's Arroyo the Puerto Rican who's still lying on the track bet though on the other hand it's a wet track trips not fast enough for the athletes to get their best times but it was a slow first 20 meters and then you saw the sweet aching up creme up took it through in a respectable caught up but from there on in really literally pick up a real shame there for a mean Belfer off the algerian semi-finalists in the olympics last year nobody wants to see the world championship campaign come to an end in that manner just have a look and see what happened there I think you just had a ham so you just slowed down and just couldn't keep it going there was no infringement at all she asked at that point really really realizing it he couldn't go any faster and look how far behind Windell is at that stage Steve he's miles off the pace in six that shows you how well he closed in the last 150 where any further back you didn't heat to but yeah he's so far back coming through in the end the American I suppose taking advantage of the fact that everybody is slowing down over this last hundred meters or so but having said that you sure he shouldn't really do that tactically you're hoping against hope that they're gonna slow down here he comes on the inside the American bet going well screaming the Swede slowing down and it gives a chance now as you see as he slows down before we've got to come through look at that come through that gap and just get third place good running from Cranmer as well deciding to take it on at around about the 200 meter mark made an honest race of it I uni with 146 19 in fourth is going to have a sweaty afternoon waiting to see if it goes through as a fastest loser Kippy egg on bet has taken that one Andreas kromm a second and drew Windell sneaking through on the inside for the third automatic spot in the first heat [Music] pull D of the high jump Visser 174 second attempt yes so she is maintaining a strong run here having led the standings after first event the hurdles second attempt clearances at 171 and 174 for the dirt chat elite and the 183 jumpers now in the other pool its Shaffer again going very well the German retaining her status as one of the major candidates for a medal here 171 working way up steadily now the 30 centimeter deep points are so added for each of the increments and the high jump round number three in the women's hammer throw disqualification group B Catherine class of Germany for that the 2009 World Championships open with the 6922 had a no throw in the second round the third and final throw well it's getting close to the automatic qualifying of 71 meters and 50 probably about a meter shy of that for the German she's gone over 71 meters this season remember we had four athletes from the a qualification pool Wang kitchen manna Sheik and Cochran who've gone over well is an improvement 70 meters and 33 puts it in the golden position of 12 you can see from the look on her face she's got a little bit of a weight now out to see if she can keep in the top 12 position because that's what we need for the final on Monday she will wait second heat of the men's 800 meters Steve and what a season but Brides having to Canada yeah it's great great for pride wait to see how he performs in this but we're going back now to come up it's all action isn't it this is the first morning session of these I double AF World Championships here in London but here's the qualification summary of the athletes that have made it to the women's hammer throw final the two groups have been combined and it's been led by some of the big names as you would expect and Katherine class of Germany who we just saw throw 70 meters and 33 does stay in the top 12 she stayed in that position and she'll come back for that hammer throw final on Monday where the overwhelming favorite will be Anita blood our chick of Poland she'll come back to try and defend her I double AF world championship title we were back at the track here's the second of the 800 meters heats again pretty close second also severing all these athletes we've just pointed up brandy McBride being properly the main man in this race he's best time 144 for one but there's a lot of other athletes around that sort of time so really it's gonna be pretty close first three go through as I just said so going through from the outside that's Mayo I'll bandura missed out what 48 don't think really being contention then on the inside of him Lopez of Mexico the Kami I think he could be the one rabies to be up there when it comes to the last hundred meters are very fast over the last hundred fifty meters of space I'll watch out for him just on his inside the road toward Canadian Brandon McBride maybe some good results the Canadian champion in this circuit around Europe and in America so he's in for me special time 144 won this year Paris about in T notice on his inside then the Cooper's of the Netherlands another very fast 144 man Lopez of Spain just inside him and then on the inside big chair I'm sure as did he got for this man Karl Langford of Great Britain 2015 European Junior chapters 21 years of age so a bit of experience gonna be gained here I think in these changes for this man second heat of the men's 800 meters first pain before the break over the far side of the track on the outside I think it's no taste 25 but they're gonna play Steiger at the 50 another meter mark [Music] is to Clemmy there on the green fest and the inside itself [Applause] also running well the Dutchman is placed pretty good [Applause] 5251 to be faster than the forest him that authority mcbride coming through he likes to run from the front he really does but lovely language style of his own I think at the moment he still only has to do as a lovely runner isn't he branded McBride's going to take them through the first four hundred meters let's see what the screen is fifty one and a half was the thirteenth 51.80 seconds so the Canadian who's in one forty four four four this London season looking comfortable right was behind car like with the British athlete make you but there's some barging between Lopez and gay me on the inside but McBride out of trouble leading down the backstraight the bride's running back - seven you can see McCamey coming through now is pushed and shoved a little around there but the Burton Ian's coming through now but the bride is always holding everybody love tears and spiders there is a big cheer from the loggers like to try to calm down everybody but as the Big Bang elect to describe [Applause] some carpets coming through the penny come three and you can see Lankford is coming down King is going to do it really in the end also running while they're from Spain his low tears coming true for all important spot well in the end it was kind for zoo got it but it's just about qualifying really it was all on the cheering is shouting from the local crowd but you just have to qualify as easy as possible [Music] good run from this man one forty five fifty three low case barely season's best there really McBride as we saw the big Canadian did all he had to do Lopez was there bang furred Indian finished in fifth place I sure whether time rolled that's going to be good enough to go through after the other heats 146 plus is very very close because there were three fastest losses on 146 from the first heat the surprise there Steve I think is the way that could calm II ran out of steam in the last 50 meters World Indoor silver medalist last year he's got an unorthodox style but he was run out of those three automatic spots from what not to be the perfect position to make sure of qualification yeah he got he got shoved and pushed around a bit over the back straight though that takes a lot out of him and I think he tanked a bit and all of his uh you know excitement I think maybe he just used up over the back straight before he come to the home straight Lopez coming through though really good run from the Spaniard there he came from nowhere really in the last 20 or so meters McBride did all he had to do tiring really fibers very strong in the last one it means not much I don't think more in the tank though for those guys there it is Kuiper's his time 140 sorry 145 53 McBride doing all the work coming home in second place 145 69 Lopez just behind that 145 seven 703 through to the semi-finals well in the high jump we are now looking at Elena shook from Ukraine the 19 year old youngest in the field in this competition 183 second goes she's got a pretty good card and entered the competition at 174 at a world youth best last year very nice indeed she really is an outstanding young talent the sir young Ukrainian [Applause] let's see turning her presence for the gonad adage of yoga sir of Austria that it show 187 indoor best but this would equal her outdoor best so this is pushing it or not to me I'm afraid unless 180 a reasonable competition you could say for Dedic [Music] we are getting to a height which sorta got lock the competitors were gone whoops to her third attempt this would be a personal best has already gone well with those third time clearances at the previous heights really attacked it but no nonetheless I think she can be pretty pleased with a 180 today and the European junior silver medalist will probably make some progress up these standings after two events now this is the favorite this is an a few tier in the high jump is no 186 she came in at 180 cleared that absolutely brilliantly no problem at all here's the tall young Belgian again no problem at all TM and johnson Thompson really in a different class from the rest of this lineup and they've got a number of challenges still in at this height probably fairly soon we'll see them on their own challenging just as we did in the Olympic Games in Rio last year but look at the ease with which TM clears this hike a very accomplished I jump earner and ride this is her best event and this will move her up very substantially from the position she was in after the hurdles [Applause] Henson Thompson bridge record holder at the high jump oh dear got her run up completely wrong there and just ran into the bar I have to think about that certainly this is a height one would expect her to clear with some fees here we go again looking at it again at the got it all wrong to take off white goes across as a word with coach see if any miracles can be worked now Rodriguez has been such a - coming young talent arrival of Johnson Thompson's on the four junior ranks a jumper were the best of 187 so getting close to that here trying 186 clean card up to that point Rodriguez was seventh in the Olympic Games it's got a total score of 6-4 81 to credit asking the crowd for support and the big crowd is still very much in on this oh very good as I said that's just a centimeter short of her lifetime best and again Rodriguez will be advancing not quite such a good hurdle so but nonetheless 2090 points now after three events back onto the track the next he to the men's 800 meters ferguson chariot as he goes by roach in lane number nine with the world championships in 2015 that's Isaiah habit of the USA in lane number seven second at the US Championships this season 144 53 a lifetime best for the twenty-year-old late number five twice the UK's champion Elliot jars of breakfast in Northern Ireland under 145 for the first time this season 134 and 99 and there's the full start list Ferguson chariot a rotation of Kenya in Rio last year at the Olympics 140 to 84 his best three seasons ago so Heat number three of the men's 800 meters who's the Kenyan the Sun has come out here in London the track is drying at a rapid rate which the appreciation of the athletes [Applause] [Music] so chariot starts on the outside in lane number nine only started running seriously in 2013 portal eco ryan sanchez going well the new pan-american junior champion they clock the inside line with Rotich in lane at number nine in USA's Isaiah Harris also slotting into an automatic qualifying position he's gone out very hard there catherine is only 19 years of age Ryan Sanchez silver met a semi-finalists at the World Juniors last year with Pan American Junior champion this year deciding to take this race by the scruff of the neck now Roget's coming past him with an intriguing first boar well 51.9 one seconds the slowest of 400 meters of the three heat so far Wantage sanchez paris there go three down the backstraight britain's Eliot Charles has got to get himself off the inside curb to try and make a move the britain but a Rotich it's a long it's the loading stride but boy it's effective down the backstraight now guess he trying to come wide on the outside but it's Sanchez with Rotich on the inside Giles has got himself punched in there maybe he could find a way through on the inside but Rotich now das is running one of the inside he's looking very very strong at the moment launched its own head of pushing and shoving down he got there Harrison they're also pushing miss Harrison let me come in circling the inside it looks as if crunches she's gonna be out of it take it easy or not well jars gets a great run from him in second place Road tips though controlled it all the way as the Kenyans do they love to hit the front and keep going winning time 1:45 setting on the fastest of the heat so far that doesn't really matter it's a trailer just warming to the fact that they've got a guy through to the next round it in the 800 meters well he was in control wasn't he Ferguson rotates chariot some look at the replay here Elliot Charles the British athlete gave himself a bit of work to do didn't he Sanchez well he was running well the Porto Rican with a big push there look at that a massive push on Elliot Charles the British athlete it was clear in the end the top three wasn't the tiniest of heats in the men's 800 meters but the Kenyan the American and the British athlete automatically booking their place in the semi-finals tomorrow you can see on the left of the screen here the zero teaching control Elliott Giles Sanchez there pushes the back of the British athlete well see if there's any repercussions from that but in the meantime Harris who was second at the US trials came through to take the third automatic qualifying spot I saw nothing wrong with that Sanchez I think was dying on his feet as jars came through and I think he just pushed him because I think he thought oh yeah I can't be bothered to go past him to be honest and he went backwards and it's good for jars cuz jars came through well they're really Harris came through the big American very strong American in the last 20 meters or so but in the end I think the top three went through pretty well I'm really pleased obviously that we got to Elliott jars of Great Britain through yeah I mean you look at that head on Steve you know yes okay there's a he's moving out to his right hand side Giles but he was going for a gap that did appear to be there and I think it was just a you're almost an act of frustration on behalf of Sanchez who'd obviously come here with great hopes had gone out very hard and just ran out of steam in the last 50 yea I think he was running out of steam as it happened and there was a gap as you said so I don't think there's any problems there really we're looking for more than there is I so meet number three and the men's 800 done and dusted you can see the wind in the stadium from the Union Jack in the wind in the sunshine yes well that's better conditions of the high jumpers as Katrina Johnson Thompson looks at the bar set at 186 her second attempt oh that was close unlike the first one but she's just nicked it off as she came over so she does need this height no question about that and she's got one attempt left Katrina again seen that plenty of height just nicked it off though let's hope she could get it right for her final attempt TM is clear also Rodriguez is clear so can Schafer join the successful attempts at this height well she can well it's certainly going well for Schaefer that equals a personal best and the German and I've said before a remark taun her consistency is showing just that not so much despair but that doesn't matter she was there clearly over and you can see the light on her face quite rightly so as we now pick up the young Ukrainian Alena shook really making her way in now world class terms and she has high jump 192 so this well within her capability third final attempt at 186 Oh lettuce Steve disappointment that she's had a really successful season winning the European Junior title and it has been going okay here but a little disappointed at not getting the 186 so this is the crucial moment and it could have the implications when we look at the medalists tomorrow at the end of the day because Johnston Thompson needs a good score in the high jump needs this height 186 third attempt on the freight 180 is way way below what we got to expect and that is a huge disappointment for her for her many fans for an athlete who's been immensely promising for years and it looks just at that one moment their hopes are dashed to another here such a huge disappointment for her Peter especially when you bear in mind the big changes that she's made in her life moving to France working with Mayer the silver medalist in the decathlon that image tells you everything so confirmation at the third heat in the men's 800 the Rotich 145 77 Harris also through from the USA in Elliot Charles for Great Britain and Northern Ireland also in an automatic qualifying spot this is he for in the men's 800 meters Emmanuel career of Kenya starts on the outside what a year this guy is having 143 10 but check this out forty four point five three four hundred PB this season he has been on fire on the college circuit in the United States n-c-double-a champion Andre of Brazil national champion of the eight and the 15 once again inside 145 this year could heat this one then comes Peter ball of Australia in seven tomorrow on France in six para not mohammad from the refugee team in five Rosen's of Poland in four and there's Alex a banquet born in Ghana family emigrated to the United States 144 eight this season and the Reuter mark boy two of Germany on the inside but on the outside Manuel career as we look at Tiago Andrei Linde Brazilian Korea has really put himself at the forefront of global 800-meter running with what he's done so far this season so can the Kenyan who's been so good in America on the college circuit reproducing winning pounds here Rossum's try to come through the German roids leads at the moment with a man quark in second place Rossum's darting across to his left-hand side Andre of Brazil just taking his time and a good running by the Kenyan career in second place Steve when you've got an 800-meter runner with the flat speed of 40 for 53 that's a very very special challenge yeah it's good it's overall speed though you might not have an initial acceleration that's what you're gonna have a negative because if there's a move you're gonna be able to considering very quickly in 10 or 15 meters but he's overall speed of 400 is very impressive obviously [Applause] it's one of the slowest heats so far 52 89 they take the Bell in this for Pete of the men's 800 meters mark Reuter has led from the start with this huge emerging talent the Kenyan based in America in manual career in second an Andre of Brazil putting himself in a good position there and a bit of bumping of barching there and it's domani of frogs who managed to find his way out of the gap although he's still yet to make a move up onto the shoulder of Andre the Brazilian boys are now digging in with 200 meters to go career looks fairly comfortable but he's got to make sure he doesn't get bought by Andre as Rosen's opponent tries to find a way through on the inside still no move from the mankwe on the outside Reuter now is beginning to rock and roll career and Andre rozzers has managed to find a way through into the top three the polish athlete finishes almost dead level with the Kenyan I think my Justin taking it Rosen's thinks he won that one either way whichever the way the one-two was the Kenyan and the Polish athlete are there and it was a good run from the Brazilian Thiago Andre slow time one 4708 said none of the fastest of the losers will come from that particular heat pretty slow the first 400 meters by others was about 52 plus so you don't get a fast time off of that I'm very look good though this man I thought he looked very comfortable was doing all he had to do obviously we expected career to go through you can see here others was running out steam down this last part of the race we saw in some of the previous heats the ones that go through faster the fourth first 400 meters don't usually last over the last career they just accelerated a little bit got himself clear that's the class of the man Andre just behind him though was running up and then we saw as you say Rasmus coming through on the inside they're almost snatching I'm not sure he did but almost snatching it from Korea for the victory but very slow race this is Navy in person third attempt for her at 186 nor she's excelled in the high jump she set a Dutch record at the event jeetu goes out and a lot of these high jumpers performing at some way below their normal form so all the more credit to an athlete like Schaefer who's equal to a personal best in this competition disappointment for person not too bad at 183 but again she's at 190 jump now in the other group we're at 177 this is Anouk Vetter on her second attempt of the height three talented athletes two of them in this pool is better you can see the delight the cheese showing no question about that the fussing best 181 so she's getting reasonably close to that with this 177 clearance and her colleague this is Nadine Visser well she's been taking credible jumps here this is her third go oh and she - sold so our herd is fastest continuing to go very well indeed not quite as high of course as kool-aid but nonetheless 177 and that means there are three athletes left in Pool B of the competition as naffy TM the favorite for the title advances now to try one meter 89 and every inch a high jumper there after the gross disappointment of Katrina Johnson Thompson going out at the previous height T I'm just going on and on and let's see how high she can go certainly in the 190s looks every chance of happening here today after that very fine clearance by the tall belgium conformation an annual career takes it by a hundred from Rossum's andre the third spot no place in the semi for a mankwe and that won't be fast enough to go through as a quickest loser so for now and this 189 would be a personal best if she can clear it no it may be a height too far she's already pretty happy I'm sure with the 186 we're down to just the elite really in this competition now for athletes still jumping up this fight just TM clear so far we've also got to turn over of the Czech Republic Rodriguez of Cuba and Schaefer so this is Kuchar Nova first time we've had a chance to see the Czech athlete in action very experienced competitor this is her fourth World Championship herb Catalan Wow 189 this is a second attempt that's not best 119 let's make 10 maybe a height too far when see she's got another ago of course I switch back to the other group the group B and we see a new better again third attempt of 180 [Applause] three women Mogens of belgium is there but she's had three failures it's just the two Dutch athletes veteran visa we've got one attempt left 180 this is better the tentative us consent very tentative and she went under that won't count therefore but she can be reasonably content I think with having feared 177 in the high jump so 2019 points 9th position overall at this stage I will stay there in fact except of course with TN going higher and higher was just a Visser left to go in this pool the top jumpers going in to a switch which between them and here is Visser indeed with her vital final attempt Visser with a personal best at this very height of 180 celled in the hurdles to have the fastest time of the day at twelve point eight five the 22-year old European under-23 champion at this year at the hundred hurdles talented all-rounder finally tech 180 in the paper [Music] not really very close again just like a compact reott she has the best today 177 and I think she can be reasonably satisfied with that what a lot of attempts there he knows the successes meanwhile back on the track quickly switching to the fifth heat of the men's 800 meters I think we're getting a bit of thunder here at the moment and it could be a bit of a rainfall if these boys don't get a bit of a move on there's a moss fastest in the field what a great run he had behind the great David reducer in the Olympics that wonderful for 800 meters that produced an Olympic and World Record atom shot that other one to look out for this man very fast over the last hundred meters if it's a slow race but will it be that Adams I think he's hoping it is it's wait to see just the first three go through Ambus personal bests 14173 well unbeaten this year over the distance where they go and whether they break down the backstroke on the outside the big boss from France might decide to move across as a big man and he might Ron shut them up but it doesn't look like one at the moment a masters moving wrong on the inside and yelling us off what swaps are you kinda just easing ahead or ISM yes he is but just breaking does it come true the younger moving world out in front his particular the finish is good because the retrievers it was very slowly indeed they've got a run about 146 for to get through as long as I fastest losses they must know that they've looked at the scoreboard so they're moving well just behind the image we expect a Maus and then behind the exhaust so these three at the moment running well well my anger is taking this out isn't he look at the four one to be the split is strong the field out over the first lap 52 point two six seconds so not as fast actually as the previous heats but is it a good position here the ugandan but a moss nice and comfortable in second position he's in good form this year know that and what says well the Frenchman's put himself in a good position with the top three ugly automatic disqualifier scientists are Adam shot there is so far at the back is decided to move around and this is the man in the slow rate scientist that could come right from the back he's doing exactly that boss building ahead of us is their field pushed in sharp I smiled a bit of fun punching a party going on in the back shots coming through again bosses here at the front a mas may be struggling we looked at here in a slow race let's wait to see what he's got is a fast finish here comes shot in third place bosses will be won and losses their shot coming so these three appears a moment please the Orangemen coming through smiley coming through but they're not going to catch the three in front Amos get sick boss's second and shot in dirt well to the for book really he did well did you don't do all you had to do to get other trouble he's used to running faster sometimes when they dropped down to a slower race it doesn't always work for the but he did well well he did he maneuvered around any problems that were going on through side or behind him the casualty of the crash that we had in that heat but Amos well he has been busy hasn't he has been winning Diamond League races in Rabat and in London in Paris you see little bit ERG bhaji as we call it so I think there's a hamstring actually caught up there he's except my boat - I'm not sure it was good his hamstring just when you have to push hard your body gives in and that's a shame the boss there the Frenchman tall very strong just working hard around that last Bend a mosque though the real talentless field always has that ungainly styled head back sometimes slips bad you know but he's you know form follows function really in 800 meters and he's got the ability to do it and as usual Adam could shot the Polish athlete just running it any which way he wants from the bank comes through and he gets him so he does the right eye he must have run the fastest 400 meters everybody good true Rodriguez now in the high jump the bar is at 189 her second attempt this would be a personal best if she clears it no failures up to including the previous height of 186 here she comes oh yes in the 22-year old Cuban souls out of that former world junior champion this is the third world championships indeed so she's had a couple for experience but now she's clearly putting herself into contention for a medal now TM is already Claire Rodriguez is Claire and this is the third attempt now for Lucci Nova one of the women who has cleared over 190 she goes out very reasonably happy I would think with her 186 clearance today haven't moved her up the standings in fact to 6th now with 2028 points so Schafer who is actually leading the heptathlon to 165 and she just like to add another 30 points or so which he will get if she could clear this height 118 up third attempt no quitter attempt on the previous runs but she has equaled a personal best today at 186 [Applause] is the car the shape up so we're now just down to two Tia and Rodriguez TM first ago 192 the world applaud is plenty staying here to watch this heptathlon disappointed that their favorite is out but TM is sir well attracting big support throughout the world because she is one of the new superstars of world athletics has shown by that gold medal last year and her 7,000 points score here one meter 87 tall well that helps in a high jump just one rival at the moment this is Rodriguez already with that personal best at 189 both though these athletes are 22 years old very much up-and-coming stars TM only a couple of weeks short of her 23rd birthday begins with a few months still to go 192 first attempt for your gayness on Rodriguez of Cuba it's good sweet home she seemed to have the height that came down on it that's her card 180 83 86 all the way now pool B has finished in the high jump and those are the top jumpers from their mountains of Belgium and the two Dutch athletes VESA and visa clearing 177 and then quite a few clearing 174 not so much of the big names here apart from veteran visa who going well nine hundred and forty-one points for those top athletes no no Jimmer a little bit too disappointed perhaps it just 171 and dignity admitting her of course dropped out after the hamstring pull in the hurdles there's result that last hit Amos coming through fairly company one 4701 boss leading all the way down the home straight and second place and shot coming through as a shot in thir did you expect 147 36 I like that I think he was practicing net so very shortly we'll have the 60 Vidal here to the men's 800 sir Amos through as the winner of heat number five and the athlete lining up in Lane six in this one is the American who finished second to him at the Diamond League here just a few weeks ago Donovan for Asia of the USA there is he's the world number four this year 143 95 that's the time he ran here on the 9th of July in London as a finish second behind Amos it's a pretty tasty lineup as well levin dosti of poland in five a man of ethiopia in to Turk you in for the Bosnian and Herzegovina so Stevo Betts alluded to a couple of time just the sixth and final heat the guys know what to do is still 146 fourth currently is the fastest non automatic qualifier a strike curiosity here Lane seven empty serenely of Kenya on the list now Saruman is very possibly when he was told that he was knocked off their team and yet here he was on the start list disappointment there from Surry because I thought as you said Peter that he was going to be here he's only got in at the last minute obviously maybe there's been a problem with the Kenyan Federation disappointing though so a big cheer for guy Liam on for Great Britain and Northern Ireland Neil starts in lane number eight twenty years old the u.s. champion this year the most eleven dogs kia poland he can't be overlooked the European Indoor champion at eight hundred couple years ago fifteen hundred meters this year a melter coupe the Bosnia and Herzegovina their national record holder over the four and the eight hundred meters who shot of spades Ethiopia a world champion in 2013 won the World title twice indoors as well one forty two thirty seven four years ago sixth and final heat for the men's 800 meters let's see he'll grab the last three automatic qualifying spots for the semi finals tonight so the gun goes razor at the USA as I meant number four will look to control this and qualify comfortably for varying times through the 400-meter splits of these heats from about fifty one and a half seconds up and it is crazy at the 20 year old who's happy to talking coached by alan frank seek from Grenada the 400 me to star a few years ago brazier happy to take up into the lead he leads with Liam on in second place and cries EU of Kosovo in third but touka is coming back to a little bit of form the man in 5th place could start to that lap by Andujar of spade it just clicked heels there Machuca and Amman and Levin Godspeed no move from the three big men at the back of the field going through the bow now it's faster but it's not that fast 51 89 so crazier running a brave race here he's inexperienced but he's running as one second at the moment Crozier inferred that the u.s. athletes he runs so well last season on a 1:43 five didn't make the US team though through the he said I ran a dumb race but he's here in London duskie tried to come through good running behind race if what Linda it's the Spaniard and ihar is in good taste at the moment we'll watch them in dusky he saw often finishes quickly with an arm the former world champion in fifth LeMans on a charge for the third thanks but the britain's trying to hold on as well brainy's is gonna take this one Aman comes through Northern Ireland was dying here mom that's one of the best races he's ever had twice the UK Indoor champion qualifying through to the semi-finals of the men's 800 but Donovan go easier that's better he's made some mistakes in the past winning time on 45-65 so you know might be one or two of those get through is some of the fastest of the losers levin dosti will make it I think with 146 17 in court but I'm not sure America will with 146 54 remember how well he was running a couple of years ago Catherine Mohammed Omar has had a very strange couple of years from being so good back in 2013 he's finished really strongly there that's one of the best performances we've seen from him in a while I think well it is if you look at his season and a lot of races he's round he's never finished higher than third in any of his races this season so that's a little bit of a turnaround when needed and had a good finishing sprint didn't eat good to see Liam onthe British athlete holding on and he's crashing at the line but it didn't bother the winner Vasia of the USA but running from the American attends Texas University but doesn't complete on their sirki turn professional last year he's a big hope in America middle-distance running in you see their as Rob mentioned naman creeping himself into the shot automatically qualifying through in second place 145 81 so through automatically now in their high jump this is the third attempt at 192 if the organist on Regas already with that personal best at 189 so can she go yet higher and due to personal bests in one competition she goes Rodriguez of Cuba measured approach she goes oh yes wow what a performance and other time to do it and how to get into the major positions in the event and celebrating so to her team well she's been showing rich promise for years really since she first came through as a junior and really fulfilling them on a day of days today you see the familiar face at having a sort of my or celebrating in the groundswell pizza clearly giving good guidance the world record holder what a super time to pull out a performance good heights good points wonderful stuff [Applause] sometimes the shootings guests believe it and she's in that position now and so to go on 195 this is tr this is world class are jumping Turkey he won't see too many going higher than that in the individual high jump his tier first attempt theme card so far oh yes well of are still traveling but it's there 195 40 M and she's showing us her skills at this event just as she did in Rio for jumps five jumps but started back at 185 clearances did it again tuck surroundings nice around that bar and Peter just noticed there it was indicating a championship best 195 is that correct a championship best in the heptathlon yeah yeah that's a great it's work that I jumping no question about that now come Konishi go yet aiya here's your gelus-- Rodriguez 195 No well it always has to end in 90 climax does the high jump and lets you decide to pass the final heights she's already done more than enough I would have thought with 192 just like those extra points well Katherine sitting next to me you're obviously in first Rodriguez your record-breaking high jumper in your young days 169 when I was 12 174 at 13 thank you very much Peter now I couldn't probably do 110 but isn't it great though we're looking here at Navi TM it's the mental strength isn't it that's so impressive to somebody so young you know the gold medal in Rio and she is the favorite here you mentioned that she's the favorite to take this heptathlon title that the mental strength yes she has the talent and the physical ability but to come into the major championships with the pressure and expectation with the the lack of years and experience that she has is she's a very impressive package absolutely and as I say we are looking for superstars and we've in identifying we saw one of them earlier today in van niekirk he made a start to his campaign there's a lot more to come there and TM is undoubtedly one of those in that category as well as the people we look for as the top names in the sport so Rodriguez now second attempt plenty of support is still a lot of people staying which is great to see because of course this is now the only action of this first session or day two of these World Championships plenty of support for Rodriguez crowd really showing their enthusiasm for each and every event in she goes this is becoming magical magical moments become here and you do three personal best and they disappear like this and she must have been taking tips from sudden my off because he knows a thing or two about high jumping Wow 195 and she's now got to 207 points and she's lying second superb to see an athlete producing their very best under the most extreme pressure a lot of people still here as Peter was saying considering that the rest of the action on this morning session even though we're 22 to local time has all finished that's the quality that you need the mental quality that you need to make improvements on the global stage a fantastic performance there and all the Cuban delegation delighted with that one you can aid your coach when you're doing things well if that makes sense her coach there on our screen was oh my gosh what's going on she keeps going high but isn't this again no great for TM to have a battle in a high job competition involved in the heptathlon and I think many of us thought this coming in terms of a somebody challenging TM with these kind of heights well we had hope Johnson Thompson right actually like she did in Rio but that went away a long time ago and it's Rodriguez has taken the place and well all those three as I've just mentioned were outstanding youngsters and really beginning to fulfill their potential in two of the cases here today so we'll now advance to 198 which was that height which was the highest ever in a heptathlon anywhere which was done in Rio just last summer in Brazil conditions little different here fortunately the heavy rain which came along at the start of the high jump competition has abated it's overcast it's very cool too so not ideal conditions for a high jumper well you may be able to hear the public address system Bruno Mars thumping around the arena Catherine Mary's doing her own version of the Bruno Mars dance here and great that so many people have stayed to watch the climax of this high jump it's genuinely world-class in its own right now that they're up to 198 brilliant high jumping a 198 I mean okay we know the Russian is has gone over two meters like that more than a dozen times this year but 198 if either these women go clear in the individual high jump competition for the women that might well be good enough for an individual medal that's how good they're jumping at the moment absolutely would have been a world record well 40 years ago but it just shows that rarefied territorial and tier two equal a personal best 198 first attempt No the first failure she's had at all in this competition because as you've said as competition from Rodriguez - 22 year-olds vying for supremacy in my jump TM of course ahead in the overall points she was quicker in the hundred meter hurdles [Music] she's got some super events to come not least the javelin g9 meter thrower last year I wonder if she can even challenge that's even better that seven thousand thirty three points for that she did a good sister the third on the world all-time list with long thought that Jackie joyner-kersee swirled record is out of sight okay but anything over seven thousand it's a really superb this is great ready Peter I mean we Alex is really being showcased here really to a massive Chrome which is staying behind now to watch this oh just heard the Turk Rodriguez has unsurprisingly decided to retire from the competition well well she might because she's had one go at this hide the chicken hardly have believed at 198 there is the great man wanted owner looking on Steam ever remembers the great value of staff famously opened his legs and showed his class according to the late David Coleman well I'm sure he's absolutely delighted with the way your ganas Rodriguez has performed here today 189 190 to 195 before a tying leaving just T M about to take her second attempt at 1 meter 98 in the high jump Brio was a wonderful experience for her with masses of PBS and London begin to emulate that massive support that was closer than the first attempt just know it's there so close to take a little time before she comes out for a third go at this height already uniquely in World Championship history for a high jumper to be 198 in the just look at the crowd still behind there in the stand there's been at least time obviously some people have left that must be at least 40,000 people still here I think well there you go that's testimony that it's enthusiastic support and they they've saved up to come here and they want to make the most of being here for this morning session some hit people of course will have season tickets and be here for every session for some this may be their only experience a world championship and she want they want to make the most of it so there's a 6th and final heat result in the men's 800 meters Donavan Grazia or 45-65 the familiar name of a man going through a limb want to break Britain and Northern Ireland levin dosti indeed did get through with his 146 17 as you know shortly we'll bring you the full qualify so that men's 800 meters so who impressed you there Steve ovett across all those six heats actually there wasn't any one that stood out in the 800 meters but there's the qualifier I mean Kuiper's well he won and got the fastest time but really they're all about the same sort of time look at that run really what less than a second spinning and really wrote it yes you pointed him out I'm not sure there's gonna be one of the ones to watch but I would say at the moment we're gonna wait to the semi-finals to see really who's gonna start showing their form there's not a lot between them really is up those semi finals coming up tomorrow maybe on paper what he's done over in the states in manual career could be the man to feature 44:53 I think I think in fact is the fastest 400 meter PV for an 800-meter runner since want arena in the 70s not sure that Damon radishes rather free good for other breeders at some stage there right the last chance for TM to go up 198 in the high jump yeah there's thousands of people clapping her on willing her if they possibly can to clear this fight well no with 195 that vtm has moved into the lead in the heptathlon after two events she was quite well down in 11th place up to the hurdles but now a 195 high jump has taken her to first and you'll get a sore on the Regas to second place in the high in the heptathlon after their brilliant high jumping so that in fact is the last competitive effort in this first warning session here in the Olympic Stadium and the crowds now beginning to move out [Music] [Music] well certainly Tia I'm confirming her status as the clear favorite of the heptathlon I think that's indeed being increased by what we've seen today Rodriguez though has moved in contention Schaefer continuing to go very well little bit further back the young Dutch athletes also having performing with credit there's a result of the high John TM and Rodriguez both 195 personal best for the young Cuban then Shaffer equalled her best as she inclusion over went over 186 person and shook 183 the big disappointment Johnson Thompson only 180 and the Americans and we got them at the bottom LePage Boogaard de Monroe they were well below their form at 184 as indeed will be on the next page was Kendall Williams as well at that height as we look down the full list of the competitors with just one competitor having dropped out of the competition so far konnichi at medina who had that hamstring form in the hurdles so they'll be back this evening at 7 o'clock for the next event which is the shotput so they've got a break of on some five hours before they're in action again and of course they'll complete the day with the two hundo meters but there are the standings TM leads at two to one five Rodriguez to 207 Schaffer to 165 then a bit of a gap Visser to o88 Johnson Thompson 205 three and all those women on that first page over 2,000 points and indeed there were ten in all so plenty to look forward to no doubt the standings will change again considerably when we come to the shot in the heptathlon and the great thing is that different athletes have different specialities and some who may be very good at sprinting and jumping may not be so good at the throws events but that is the complete standings there in the heptathlon after the first morning so that wraps things up our first morning session we've seen some brilliant men's for hundreds the men's eight of move through to the semi-final stage and the women's 100 meters Alain Thompson arguably the favorite from what we've seen so far not having to run anywhere near her season's best of 1071 she will be the favorite for that one so that wraps things up for this session the stadium at last beginning to empty out join us again later on because we've got Usain Bolt in the semis and the final hopefully of the 100 meters so if you've missed a little bit of what we've had so far this morning here's a final recap [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] four hours of top-quality entertainment for those of you who missed the action last night we have only had one set of medals awarded so far great britain on top courtesy of mo Farah's win in the 10,000 meters so we have four finals to come later on guys we've got the men's discus final the men's launch up final the women's 10,000 and then the rock star signing off in style anyway conceivably that he doesn't finish with a gold always just got to has indeed let's say let's just say that just looking ahead of what else there is because that's going to be a wonderful climax the women's 10,000 meters there's a really fascinating race I think Steve will no doubt particularly be following that with you Rob and the fact that birthday Barbara and I on I haven't run a 10,000 this year a little bit of a question mark over there form I don't think so I think de Barbara's run a good road 10k so yes I mean she's in the sort of fall but they I mean you can't run that many ten K's in a year are you saved your best obviously for the world champions oh yeah oh yeah I think another clash will be looking forward to and I wouldn't say that we got 34 35 women in that 10,000 that's a lot of athletes on the track so they've got to be careful I want to look forward to isn't it then the men's 100 no Usain Bolt to win that one I think later on I think it's fair to say but yeah looking forward to the two field event finals of the men's discus and the long jump as well and man younger in that long jump I think one of the potential superstars of the sport well you've been listening to us for four hours take a short break we'll be back for the climax of day two with Usain Bolt bye for now [Music] [Music] [Music] you
