Right into or into returns to more annoyed. At the finish of the fastest move their bosses lose it open fast as they've risen he would say if your promote country do you appeal. Why not I think listening this is completely right I was never heard that but I know when the conditions are like this the spikes will not go into the ground correctly Yeah and it will cause a problem and these are hurdlers So even on the warm up truck you just see pictures on the wall my truck and everybody's having to be tentative been in even in what he said the up to be smart in the way that he ran now he's the past is in the field so he can't be smart in the way that ramp up for everybody else trying to qualify Oh he was all right because the rain I'm down by he was here when he said it made me laugh when he asked about these cats because he's run 13.20 s. Year he's just ran 1402 now all right I agree with him to a point in that it's the lympics we've just got to deal with it but it's not fair each each heat is having to contend with different conditions it is absolutely not fair it well I think raining when Obamacare around here but not live there now it wasn't but it definitely was raining and it was a wet track and for a man who'd fallen in each of his last 2 races actually that was a mightily impressive performance looking at that 2nd heat there I would say as far as Jews Carter is concerned you know Johnson and all of you always say it's the Paki used to say in competing in can this. It's like this image of an image based a sign for everybody and you control what you can control you know maybe juice Carter is no King here in terms of the form the best 2 athletes in the rice have finished 1st and 2nd I found I mean it looked as if Orlando Tiger who won that page actually made a very composed did liberate stop as if to say let's just let's just get through this one there's no need to break a world record here let's just get through it is you know if you thought it was deliberate this is 1st of the pick I think probably a little bit but experience that but to that point about Michael Johnson sitting up just above a speaking to b.b.c. T.v. He's just saying you've got to get on with it you've got to just take the conditions and I think to a point that's right but I was so bad I think Well as you say to be lazing now it is really going to be improving as it is I think the issue is as as Dan reference We've got pictures of the warm up track we've now got a backlog because of course it's like convey about so on a hurdles night as well when you're on a track and you wanting to do your drills and they have filled in the the whole session with sprint hurdles and 410 goals it will be mayhem which are different hard completely different heights different heights you've got women and you've got many times those you know you think you have may have because you want to space this is it is a really it is like you know I have a British or discovers that he's a great hurdle. Is about I know that you want to set the dressmaker because you know what he's going to tell you teaching is rubbish in the reading. Of this other we're going to talk about the rainbow all the 1st of all that's the part of live music shall abide by. Them to just a long long smartphone and tablet this is b.b.c. 5 Live. John the do is now only the 2nd British woman to win 3 golds she defended individual dressage title Mark Cavendish won his 1st Olympic medal picking up so with. The men's need. The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating the death of the foremost in Villa Football a deli in Arkansas and the 48 year old died after being Tasered by offices in the street outside his father's house in Shropshire. The International Paralympic Committee says room as the games won't go ahead next month all totally unfounded his thought as many as 50 countries may have to cancel plans to compete because millions of pounds in travel grounds have been paid. Medicine some friend says an asse strike is a hospital in North in Yemen killing at least 11 people is thought he was carried out by the sound like Coalition which is backing the country's government is fighting is who he rebels the Premier League is about catching up to the time was to settle games more insight. To what. The best life still is a religious free kid. Like Syria thank you trying to end basic logic it's mine you know I say again sometimes this is your football station this is 5 life Rio 26 seen Jonathan Edwards. The Droid told get it tight tight here in Rio and Britain like 2nd in the medal type often the gold is a bit shallow decals that were pretty emotional today because it's on the cards and for timing for the leg right we haven't said when but it is on the cod say to me I knew this was going to be my last big competition with a man and it was really emotional at the end because I genuinely thought I could gave me everything there was nothing else he could have done but a couple districts over the all me him and Laura Trott is leading off the 3 events of the Women's on the day here in the stadium there was a bronze to Sophie pictured in the habit of the women's hockey take a break for 75 against New Zealand away from Rio Chelsea the West Ham she won her life with him. Yeah go cost $26.00 see which one of them was. On the bottle called upon the album he is underway and we have a go sorry yes is going away we thought it would never wins they're ranked number one in the well the gangs Argentina right number 2 and it is the doubt she'd have a team they've just 3 minutes to go until the half time and the 2nd go when seen by Lauren leering She's just 21 years old now and still going to 19 the Netherlands today she put them to me a lot 3 minutes ago so they hate him. But I still coming down here I've had a few drops on my head but it is easing the still a sign on the screen say just in front of him a competition like you know reports he actually won at least darkest trying to draw out a little bit but it is improving but you're just telling it like striking Diego Costa gave Antonio Conseco would in his 1st game with Chelsea manager in the Premier League I think West Ham to one because he's been in the 87th minute coming 10 minutes after James Collins equaliser which accounts for that he has an open marking here was watching them so I don't think you bought in the 1st win from turning content so important than Dobie It fizzed was the best game classically but those 3 points so crucial for contact without doubt and it was a you know the way they celebrated that goal at the end that when you could tell what it meant to him he's so galvanized himself into the minds of these Chelsea fans and the atmosphere tonight was absolutely 1st class and the way that the energy that they showed the intensity in their play Oscar really summed up for me the way that he's gone from almost a bit part player we know he's got quality but he was playing so well that chuckles he made he was everywhere and then Costa you only by that stage of the game he's going off it seemed most on interested or injured or something but not tonight he scored the all important one for them should have been on the picture because he had been booked by the referee and then he went in late to tackle out. He was dithering on the ball in his own 6 year there certainly caught the west time you know the goalkeeper that would win a 2nd while it was almost a leg breaker and when you can see really a listen on this occasion I can see cost when the goalkeeper There is taking liberties taking too long in the dwelling on the ball but he flies in and when he sees that back he realizes we're very fortunate to be sent off to do enough to know they level through college and strike from a poorly cleared corner kick up to as a penalty was struck in the 1st minute of the 2nd half cost as go when it did West Ham do it after they play with this nor We aren't the sort deep limey Phil player once he went off in fairness Piet come on we know what he can add to the team Valencia went down the middle they were more direct and then they look better they suddenly forced a corner but you're just going to sit back and let Chelsea come on to you it's only a matter of time listen they got back into the game incredible finish from Collins but in the end the best team won here tonight nor Vice Premier League was there a strain what about the West Ham United new left back tour who came on early on because I went off with a hamstring he was impressive I mean Chris Welsh been out for a long time look concern there but you argue did really well I'm a left hand side as a left back and he got big future West Ham to where he did come on as a substitute didn't do a great deal about the Chelsea substitutes they brought a Moses it was at West Ham United on loan last season and back 30000000 pounds signing from a what do you make of I mean when he comes on they went to a 2 they play 2 off softly but he heads it on to coster I mean Costas Go ahead of a lot to do and he does get some fortunate puts it through the legs of Collins age and can't see it but it was the intent all night from Koester as well in the attitude to see to be a change of attitude they're energized now at the start this season a lot of football ahead of us but that's a really good start an intention a show of intention from Chelsea Chelsea 1st time winning 7 Martin so they avoid their worst run home since November and 942105 is crucial for them isn't it to make stuff a bridge a full. Just as it was under Marina when he says a day they did and that already you can see can say you know the for me was an outstanding signing and they just the fans for a vote already because with all that attacking every time he made a challenge he was up against there against coal at one stage Andy Cohen and he was it didn't matter it didn't matter that Carl is so much bigger than him the fans appreciate that he spirit is Endeavor they show tonight West Ham United not have to go out to remain in for Europa League qualifiers this again the 1st sign we're seeing of a team trying to juggle Premier League and Europa League interest with it they have one eye on that guy well that's that that's a problem for them they're going to have you know you've got to build that squad I don't know if the strength in depth there I think they're probably still be looking to add to that to their numbers and Pyatt really is a player they need to get fit and they have to nurture him but with all these extra fixed as though it will play a part in their season or not not to mention going to the new stadium bottom line final question have you seen enough from Chelsea to suggest yes they can challenge for the title or would it take water I see that they can definitely challenge there's no doubt about that not being in Europe the manager can concentrate 7 days between He's got a do you look at it now Chelsea a real friend he says. Oh yes the 21 that's a Chelsea at the bridge and I have to say he had the ratings pretty much as a fine drizzle almost a mess we're now living in a live picture and he's popped his head out from the finals of the stage and see what's happening he was zipping up his truck so I'm not only is it temperature has really dropped as well and I think over chalet I may not. Carry on they can stay to move the athletes to gather the warm up truck as well as she is now because the athlete the world challenges and reports the state of the 100 and the weeks and hurdle levels you can do no will but they've delayed it I guess for the pole vaulters they'll probably be given another half an hour to get ready a guy but in this I sold myself for one of the things he's given all of I do. Nutrition struck you stop coming to this yes of course because they were planned for a long time now not just today but in the days building up to it and getting into a routine of eating because these athletes have come from all different corners of the world all different time zones and have had to change their. Habits in their daily diary to get used to this particular time zone you know where 4 hours behind you but you know they are sort of Japanese after eating a banana and you know that that was 17 time zones of was so it's you know not really difficult I think on top of the nutrition as well it's just a concentration you know we're so used to this week the watching this is swimming and I find it really unusual because you see the sun is walk out with the headphones on and as you remember John it can assume you're going to call really bad get searched he's got a mobile phone and he's got any music that gets taken away so the pole vaulters the discus thrower as the athlete you know you use your music and then that's it you give it to the team management because you know allowed to so that those guys all just wait or you get disqualified because it takes that we know it's reaching out about it or you got your throat it was cut it was clever of use the same vote last night to tweak just as he crossed the line and they're pretty I mean you know I also now look down on Andy policy we've all been talking about the awful for 4 years that he's had since London 2012 and since bursting on the scene in 2011 he's wearing his long socks I haven't actually seen him very long so he's now just got to switch the mind off and just do exactly like Sophie Hitchon said as she went into the circle for the funeral to injury you don't want anything like this before you know it you know I remember chatting to even Roy in my early this year and he was talking to me a lot about how him and Malcolm had to sit down as Colleen was talking about and manage his party you know he knows he can't hurdle every day as a sprint hurdler you want to hurdle every day you're hunting your technique your. This is his trade this is his job and he can't do it but he would like to do it so you know when you'll when you plan as you know you come to the stadium you know you've got to you've got to be in the cool room was probably 45 minutes before you actually event so you add to our warm up before that so we've well 2025 minutes almost later that Ne woman took out your body has calmed down your adrenaline levels of dropped it's really really difficult and this more than any event is so technically you know you've got to be on a you've absolutely got to nail it and you can't put a foot wrong I was just hearing from the organizers but in terms of the failed a bad day what we saw them into the truck driver and still very lightly writing that might be a little while and also the brain comes back as it was previously I think it's that they will consider counseling the session. Doesn't surprise me it's it's very dangerous and we are lucky cause earlier didn't look like it was going to stop and . They probably had a little look at weather warnings and stuff like to see what's what's going to happen later on in this evening because now we are behind schedule the finals are going to be late getting called up in The Situation 2003 John Drummond fall started the next to run after which he decided he wasn't going to leave the truck initially you know it was it was a bit of fun and we knew rollocking and Joe kid and then it got to 5 minutes and then it was minutes and then 15 minutes and all of a sudden when your body temperature drops so moche as Alison said because you had to run a certain time at this level. Today to the 2nd to the 2nd your preparation is key and having that kind of delayed. Stalin in the time to so much slower in all the heat that came afterwards and I would suggest that's. If there is another to lie then they will have to call off the session we've been talking about the concerns of the athletes as a crowd in here around $20000.00 I've got to get hung tonight at the moment the shadow should offend or when we got here showed you it was time to finish it around 10 to 11 local time that's now half an hour later 20 past 11 they can't be any more delays because these people can go home and is it just me or is the track draining to the inside which plays into and he puts his hands 7 in a completely clear and the line has about one problem that will be the cause. Like this a little. Like I was. Going to go but I was going like I was going to anyway . So now are describing. Family. Performance as track and home. I did say France is in line for here the biggest danger to see who is the 2nd fastest in the field this year is the stadium announcer for the 1st time asked for cash very excitable here they've been conducting Mexican waves to keep themselves occupied in the interim they're down on their blocks and out there on the i Pod see on the outside returning after yet another injury and going well in the early stages so to me keep asking these to the fastest in the field and parts of the state is virtually in line 0 is a barrier close to home but might just get their guards in 3rd place I think given the past as one of the athletes pulled if he had to cross the line and it was the Brazilian drought de Oliveira in the closing stages and the winning time hasn't appeared on the call just yet now is there 13.31 seconds and Potsie in 2nd place and look at his hair don't know why the fish will is now currently picking it up and moving it about a metre backwards because he absolutely cluck today he just cool head like knocked him off. Slightly he got his balance again and then absolutely obliterated Title 9 Thankfully he stayed on his feet he really you know that's all quite It still is his core strength because what I have that doesn't like to do is put on the head with a lead like that really does not normally you know these guys are so strong through the midriff that cool when they when they catch that and with that try like they can only pull it back and not just loses them a little bit momentum but when they hit it with their lead leg that really does not pay for 6 he did very very well and well in 4th place you out of Brazil has 25 he virtually swam over the line went over like Mike and because the truck is way that he slid for no fucking except me. For thinking diving like that's a serious question doesn't say you're allowed to go over the line why are. You trying to. Get it right. That was you know you know when you go on one of those silly piece like they had a gun you put you kind of you put your cheek down and you know spray it with soapy water and I said that hurts trust me it's just a truck where it got a sliding best. Seasons past the political rant about. How tumbleweed and when. You were too slow to pick it up oh yeah he was right to shot. What he was shot about though anyway by I didn't close the clip before the one that that he hit but he was like he was he following it up with great he did look really really good I mean look we've been waiting for him to to to to break that kind of well to come back in one piece 1st and foremost but he absolutely smashed his personal best in the 13th and he won he done early on this year say we knew using good form and then he did. That big breakthrough is now come in Jackson said that he reckons he's the next British man to fight 13 seconds and I think I would agree with that I'm just saying as well one of the organizers said if the right which they were for the council session is a saying about which they think the right may return for the death of the year is airing this as so fingers crossed but it's isolated and it misses the Olympic Stadium the discus throws are out. Of qualification as a group be still to come as well and the pole vaulters as like you see on the knock out yet because it's an interesting point and I compute all these diaries I mean please do have a little ruefully they are almost I received a role but I see the I think the base level and just the smallest thing we saw it do Scott in the herd who can put you off yeah yeah because. Michael's right the conditions in certain cases are the same for everybody in this instance it wasn't you know the 1st he's the one who didn't and 10 meter hurdles race it was a sputtering of rain but by the 2nd and 3rd Test It was torrential rain so it wasn't bad. As an athlete and I'm thinking about the women's For me a final at what time now did they start well we don't because what will it says $2245.00 so that they would be prepared to stop woman pass the time they start at the top they now call stop their warm up we're talking about it may rain so this is the fun of the Olympic Games they could stop their ball ball and then be told no no stop now because it's going to be tomorrow kind of interesting when this happens to me actually $99.00 something in reality and it's a very good painter How about it must be so sad a lot of like Moses Brown There was a massive down right I got mosquito stuff in my I was going to say because you will see the bill got us cryo know. That the. So there was like Ok not to say so but I said it in so much of the last thing so Ok got it to row one of the stats Yeah it's got tricky one of the best excuses I like that. I don't want. That's because everyone else got bitten him back I'm asking. For your worst but is it worse whether stories start to hurt you. Worse well how difficult that was you know was great as well to be as he was if I didn't know I'm not a part of a good and so you were yet to be up just for yeah about boggled used to be by coach and we'll just have traded in Australia for a little while we were that this one day live call they and the rest of the group finished their session and myself and I'm actually Paul Paul I have to finish I think we're doing 61 twenty's a mystery until rain was coming down and it was getting colder cold call it was like you know also we were away in football clubs go our guys don't worry about finishing off the last day and you didn't I mean walking back and continuing and calling kept locked in and laughing and laughing I always thought that was that was probably the worst. Yeah that's the worst. Alison. Comp think of ever running in horrendous rain except cross country but that's what you meant today. That's your own that's your own ball that's going to have $100.00 . This is hate for and this features the 2nd fastest man in the world this year behind Obama coude who qualified before the interruption Devon Allen of the United States just 21 years of age one of the most promising talents on the world scene at the moment he's unbeaten in 2016 in 12 races had a very busy collegiate season already in. The United States before winning the American championships and any athlete who wins the American championships comes to the global championships as a solid medal contender he's drawn on the outside like Andrew Potsie in Lane number 9 Wilhelm France a former world junior champion back in 2014 like Devon Island He's also 21 he's drawn in line 3 and on season's form it should be those 2 to contest the 1st 2 places although the 1st 4 will go forward to the semifinals tomorrow the final Also tomorrow evening may settle into their blocks and soon they'll be underway for heat number 4. And they are underway and they're called back here the 2nd firing of the gun and it's difficult to say from this far away it might well have been a lame 3 the man I mentioned Wilhelm Blas And of France and that's certainly who the cameras are focusing on and his images appearing on the screens at either end of the stadium and as far as the naked eye is concerned certainly it does look to be will him Blas here and according to the computer readings it will be the young Frenchman who is shown the red card here by one of the starters officials in such difficult conditions at 21 years of age it looks as though the Olympic experience of Wilhelm is over as he heads back to his blocks to receive the green message. To make it worse by now he's lying on the track now we've got to wait for him say's no delaying proceedings he knows I mean he's got no argument there is a massive false start numbers now ripped off. It's not it's not a good night for him is that he didn't even wait for the Red Card just walked around the side of the starting blocks to the right hand side and now exit stage left and he is furious after the hold up and he's another one who's been affected by the rain even though it has stopped now. Control the controllable as we were saying earlier on but. Certainly wasn't able to do that and what is turning into a very busy session here this is heat 4 of 5 in the 1st round of the men's 110 metres hurdles the last of them Next up features Lawrence Clark of Britain hoping to join Andy party in the semifinals he finished in 4th at the London Olympics one of the most surprising finishes of any British athlete and the performance of his life which he hasn't been able to replicate since more on that in the next 8 but here they settled down for a 2nd time and now the passage should be even clearer for Devon Allen of the United States on the outside a serious gold medal contender at the age of 21 The world number one 0 mama cloud also already through should I say from the 1st of these dates. And 2nd time they do get away and Alan is the 1st elated over the 1st 3 barriers and starts to pull away now from York and O'Farrell of Cuba towards the inside. The inside is do believe is have Grace is also in contention up tools and I do believe this may just have got there from Devon Island comfortably in 2nd place 13.40 seconds is the winning time in the previous seat and he made it safely through all over of a scare one of those hurdles he was so new Yeah and it was a slightly kind of dramatic moment as you are came to hurdle knowing the penultimate one what happened was a stupid mistake. And there's a hurdle before I just going to let my child kind of put the hurt on a jag me back and then I absolutely obliterated the knife in my leg but I went into recovery mode and just my eyes to kind of fight on a silver lining qualify so it's you know it's all Ok I'd see what I wanted to do but I can't make those kind of mistakes again what is recovery mode mean in that moment where you probably couldn't hear it naturally cation my inclination might be to panic What do you say to yourself it's an expletive so I won't. Repeat it but you know it's a case of you can't you can't stop and think about what's happened. And I mean I just drove as hard as I could to the next hurdle knowing that I was kind of losing momentum and just kept driving to I was possible and I could see that I qualified but the rain has finally cleared up the track still a little sulky in places how much is that being sort of psyche preying on your mind and headed your hate when I was told on the way all the way down from the village honest there's no something you know I left. Yeah I mean that's that's a straight answer to your I didn't really factor into my head you know just about doing the doing the same job whether it's sunny or it's rainy and you know just qualifying you're a cool customer clearly you said a sensational new personal best at the Anniversary Games in London in the opening round and then we didn't see you in the fall I know because you had crap. So how bad is that how you dealt with it is it still an ongoing concern yeah you know we we've dealt with it now I think well of mist of all races in the past there injury you know coming back to such a high intense level you know the time around in London is a really well across time and. The body was just getting used to that and we managed to. Trying to highlight Harvard doesn't factors which could be contributing we've addressed those in our minds to to change what you saw in a really really high intensity and high volume of things our case there is no going to factor into my games and without wishing to pry too much into your suit personal medical history what's the overriding factor that was contributing to that what. I mean the way we looked at it really is that there was more of a perfect storm because we couldn't are still a you know objectively what we thought it would be so it's you know it's a case of estimating and and working with a reasonable promises so there really was half a dozen small things rather than one overwhelming factor Ok that really appreciate you stopping to talk to us because I know it's like a chilly in here the seasoning and you'll want to stay warm and keep your muscles mobile thank you very much Andrew I didn't and Darren Campbell I remember when I 1st started covering up at 6 in 2002 Commonwealth Games Manchester to see you in my new sponsors have an issue with Crown cars too a.j. This was it my mistake but they are an issue with Crown didn't they the pair of them to member yeah yeah I think it was it was warm the streets of the heat I think it but test is what it takes stuck with nobody's were big boots ball I bet about that but yeah it will be on the side they were going this is Majesty is just made up my hometown crowd over the side we were all. So out of the front seat safe for us I think so because some people think of the hundreds have it had this tomorrow or the fall of the band's pole vault or outside of a surprise perhaps it's been another go in the hockey star or should. We say Netherlands in Argentina Netherlands the world number ones they now lead through e-mail so the writing just starting to appear on the wall now the world number 2 is Argentina in the still 5 minutes of the circle to left to play the 3rd goal going in by Kelly younger that's a 4th goal of the games she's from an Sudan and of course Netherlands if they do hold on to this day they'll be playing to face Germany in Wednesday semifinal. Noland story Argentina listening to 5 lot of them picks live from the Olympic stadium on the right to lie day for the athletics program the affix all back out the final day of the 110 meter hurdles coming out the ends of pole vault but 1st let's take the 5 Live music shall abide by.

Who was shot on the reaction so far from Rio 26 states using the b.b.c. I Player radio a 2nd Obama could only have 100 only be produced by you saying balls Rio 2065 and across the b.b.c. Radio 26 see what Jonathan Edwards. Welcome back to the Olympic Stadium was just saying the final days of the men's 100 time major hurdles probably. A lot of stuff but I like my Costello thinks about trying times thanks so much for someone to try on here she is for a day Antonio Suzi will be celebrating now as he's going by in the 4th and last place in that final Hades Norris Hall just ahead of him and that place ran very well off to a moderate start improved in the 2nd half of the rice the high road yeah should be United States and Pascal mountain out of France one of the outsiders for a medal here and another go up the hockey star o.j. . Did we speak to Susan looks like Argentina just started the comeback Florence you had before she managed just get one from a penalty corner because this is the women's quarter finals day voice in g.b. Successfully 3 they can be playing New Zealand in that semifinal will be Netherlands or Argentina still go full minutes till the end of the said cool for the Netherlands 3 Argentina one French Sarra delights told they have athletics here in the Olympics. Stadium the men's pole vaulters. It is still very very down almost surprised that it maybe put it back to another reading the shuttle has very thin the savings so the old others do have the opportunity perhaps to stretch it just a little bit but the big finals coming up later. On was 2 25 am the men's 800 meters but it would catch up but might be a little bit late said maybe 20 minutes which is where we're at at the moment in terms of July and that it's to 40 probably had maybe more towards 3 at the women's 400 meter final with Allyson Felix one of the pictures so far no doubt and you're waving at me yeah No I was just going to say the problem now that we've got with the Paul poll is what are the Previn issues well. You know that is a problem but against that you could have the situation where there is one single event going on in the stadium in the closing stages and if we're as Tiago as anywhere near contention none of this last I heard. Just we were going to talk about the shuttle I mean tonight we have one filled with a bottle you have to try to find them in a 3 hour session which frankly probably I don't think is right in the way of all but I think competition for what you could easily do as a group presumably that's going to be decided in future evening sessions you can get the whole bill on another evening really easily Yes. No doubt about it and it's not like the 100 meters where people months in advance would have bought tickets specifically for that evening and that's not to undermine the greatness of the likes of Reno level any it is as you say it's a movable feast whereas the men's 100 meters is not for all sorts of reasons because a lot of the sprinters for example are involved also in the 200 meters and the relay later in the week so it's it is really very difficult but they're trying to make some changes Panix year's World Championships in London back in the London 2012 Olympic Stadium and for example there are no morning sessions on Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday simply those that those are working days and it's the. A 9 day program is it his here that games Well this is at the Olympics of course it's 10. Which which stretches it out including the marathons as well so you know it starts on a Friday whereas the World Championship starts on a Saturday and they've got morning sessions on each of the 2 Saturdays but there are no morning sessions on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday because it's a work week but also for the evening sessions there are on most of the things at least 4 dollars a day. So if you share the stadium here as you say ball comes out seriously you can go to brush Justin Gatlin alongside him and again we talked about it last night Darren Campbell leads a moment that we do have to say because we're going to talk a little bit Alex Alex a lot of athletes that are talking about leaving the sport big names leaving the school this will be the last 30000 Olympic podium for the 100 meters yet definitely look even he said he felt slightly emotional last night it was one of the variables but I said Jordan I felt he would feel because he is an emotional guy he is emotional energy to perform the way he's performed yet to use a ball so it's all up our soul about where the medals are the major championships and he's won another one so you know if you think about the greats of what me to Ronnie you say Paul has just taken it to a whole different level that he's presenting the medals opens and in the flashes lunch was Valerie books all right Sylvia's sprinters Well I guess the World Cup. what these people are doing Carminow the responses because he couldn't sleep and so he thought he got a wander around and the next day he woke up to find out exactly what these men were planning so that's very poor softened Sebastian Coe the new president of the idea and my wife. Examples are similar. Position the center of the card game and even if Congress here everybody in the media say it's rising to take a photograph of this special occasion you same ball turns to his right he's done it so many times before limping champion for the 3rd time. I am pleased you like you can get close the knowledge across the bronze medal Justin Gatlin the silver medal and the love of the oboe actually got started because of the row of the crowd that didn't love that his name would be the last image this time because of the podium will go. I'm sure is just playing with the crowd. Then again he says cut is deciding to Steve a Sydney chess which was the missing number saying in that interview with the argument that both lost money by you know right those that rule by the way Steve used as a batting can see it incredibly playful as you mention much to celebrate back because frankly please don't go. Far we've heard again here the sailing in a stadium that's not nearly thought well though the numbers have grown in the last hour or so despite the weather to what must be close 22530000 people in here and once again the loudest ovation of the evening is for you St Paul to maybe we'll see him now just 4 more times in any lympics stadium for the hates the semifinals and the final of the men's 200 meters and then the final only of the man's 4 by 100 meters has a poses for the photographs with his 2 fellow medalist Andre grass and Justin Gatlin and now makes his way off punching the air once again and another edition from this crowd here in the Rio Olympic Stadium for $26.00 days representing the crowd of one of the organizers missed a trick they could have advertised that huge windfall will be performing on Monday evening as well even though it's not actually competing and you probably couldn't cook another 50000 people buying tickets to come and see his medal ceremony in the same boat we're going to look like so what he's going to do. With the masses wherever he goes political most photographed alongside the grass alongside Justin Gatlin the little bow the crowd did probably slightly warm reception that was yes thank you Justin Gatlin and of course you simple for his boss holding him warmly as he came along at the podium one place to say the weather has improved greatly was very still in the time just 22 degrees so not too cool the toll the shock is drawing out the pole vaulters are out for the time is now well course it's too. Cold of the to you Kate Sanchez pole vaulters is likely to be here and so they were no level in a Darren Campbell I'm going to say you. We're going to start to jump another hour are we still going to be Ok I think we have today Ok that's good that's good yes no it is not ideal and I just think that that's why the pole vault started the least of all the effects you see being because of the amount of time that it will take this is the Olympic final Why should the car wash you know the last thing these guys will have 3 attempts maybe because of the conditions the high that these guys will play with the metals will be as high or it's not ideal you know I think the the smart thing to do would have been suppose pony we've been having fire drills in the daytime I'm sure these guys would. Fall in the daytime maybe tomorrow when this is the West would be better the only thing I can think is maybe the stadium is where they're going to do to just lay down and that's all I can think is it for me it doesn't make sense top this is eating it really really doesn't and not surprisingly the 1st event of the competition or the 1st attempt of the competition is a fire. In our time and that was just in you same boluses last Olympics maybe he will complete in London 27 say maybe he just had a sail in her interview with Sonia seem to suggest that this was the last year Christine. And I guess that the 1st question to ask you Alison is how difficult a decision is it to Mike when the time is right to which. I think you know and actually as I'm sure you like is. Rarely given the opportunity to leave on on your own terms and unfortunately for me I I just had a I know full time of injuries and I spend more time on the physio bed than I ever did on the training track and that was when I just I didn't fall out of love with my spoke but I just fell out of love with rehab and I'm just. Forgetting what it was like to be injury free and constantly I think it was probably actually in media interviews afterwards in the same way that Andy policy has the saying when everyone all they ask about is how you managing your injury you almost forget what you were like prior to injury and what you were like as an athlete performing and and so yeah I think most athletes it usually is injuries that cause them to hang up the spikes or the throwing shoes or whatever but when you look at somebody like Jessica and his hill she's in a position where she can make she can call the shots she can look back she can look into her medal cap and think you know I I don't think I could have done any more and what am I going to get from London 2017 I mean I did throw Troy out to a coach 20 minute cello when I saw him I said what about the chances of just trying a completely new as a 400 hurdles you often find I'm in a lot of multi Venters 10 hurdle and likewise see the way round Sally Gunnell came from a multi event that Carolyn Ford had us so just try out that you actually did so yeah we mentioned just that and it's her when she's been speaking about the sorts of things maybe including retirement during camp I'm at a stage in my career now I have to make a decision as to whether I you know decide to retire at this point what I know for sure or yeah it's a decision on me to make. You know come to the right. What you think will help you make that decision because is it the passion is the fire still burning in your belly is it a fact that maybe you want to have more children Yeah I think it's a number of things I think the big thing is motivation and I think with the I do one it's you know it's a tough and if you don't if you're not that motivated then you know you're not going to achieve what you set out to achieve and you know going. When metals I need to make sure that mite actions that are and of course ya want to achieve other things in my life not look to have more children you know and be with Reggie as much as possible but yes it's a big decision on them you know every family has faces and stage in my career it had not been hard times really. Just initial What took Darren Campbell. Sleep just hasn't made decision yet but I guess just listening to her speaking to you speaking to Sonja when she came through after the Super Bowl that's the wife leaving series Yeah you can hear it in the voice of a new complaint just kind of sale it's been a fantastic. Shuffler to us. To do to have tough laws you know the stress in the strain that you put your body through that point where you have to think very seriously sometimes how tough please decide to have a couple of years to do individually beds you know maybe make some money and different stuff like that and set yourself up for the rest a large book just they still do it for the money I think she's a lot of money and she's on a book Girl she's a simple bill so she's not the type of person who would have splash the waste is all about money so to me if she decides to walk away with stuff to give thanks for the for the memories. Go in the Happy House Augustine has come back coming on shore which you can pretty well actually now that you asked listen to that crowd it is now Netherlands 3 Argentina 2 Delfino Marino with a score just touch from a penalty corner just to guide the ball into the back of the net you could attend 7 minutes to come there won't be any extra time if it so drawn a full time that means we go into a penalty shootout say 7 minutes left to play Netherlands 3 Argentina to win this women's hockey quarter final and place the semifinals up for grabs thank you the 1st lady of the 400 hurdles woman on the y. You might cost over yes in the favor. To win this one is 17 year old Sidney McLaughlin of the United States drawn in line number 2 3rd in the American championships and she is the youngest u.s. Olympian to be chosen in athletics since 1972 and she's going steadily and skips into was the 3rd barrier just slightly losing her stride pattern as they head towards the halfway stage and towards the outside Risdon on a Tracey the Jamaican champion is running very strongly as they head round towards the home straight in last year's World Champion Susanna Hayne of the Czech Republic who's been badly troubled by injury this year looks to be running into a semblance of form but rocking in 3rd place at this stage is just beginning to struggle as she heads down the home straight is being challenged on her inside by following so probably Italy but up front is written on a Tracey from the World Champion Suzanne I never in 2nd place up to all the line only 1st 3 to 45 try to get there from her and follower and so on the inside of McLaughlin we can badly in the closing stages to finish only in 5th place there are places for 6 fastest losers but she's unlikely to get there because there are 5 heats Still to come no such problems though for Eastern hour Tracy of Jamaica and looking like she's returning to something close to her best form Susanna Hannover of the Czech Republic yes for me Susanna Hain if I can be a bit of a danger she's been there and done it before the title of a limb pick champion is still one that she hasn't got in her locker so she's coming here after an awful time of injury missed most of last season and Achilles problems as well which 400 headless do you not like at all but the one for me Sydney McLaughlin I was really looking forward to seeing this talent we've heard an awful lot about her only 17 years of age and water baptism of fire she had 5415 as you said Mike coming in 7 ranked in the world this year and what it would in the evening that she's had to lay a rain delay a lot to take in has the young girl and hopefully she will she will have locked all of these memories in. Into that mind of hers a new zip positively next year because she is going to be around for a long long time to come she's an exciting talent and looks amazing albeit well down the field in 5th but she will not forget as the same boat didn't forget his 1st experience ever and Olympic Games in 2004 when he went out in the semifinals 60 pounds 85 now 82 of Great Britain going in heat number 6 because one of the medal hopes here in the 400 meter hurdles I'm just hearing now that in the time is coming through the men's Like 100 latest at 245 that's when the best we can score 100 responding to to go off and there was 105 past 3 British time by past 11 here and I'm also hearing and this is an interesting one and it's an incomplete bit of information of the moment Michael Starr that there's going to be an extra 110 meter hurdles 1115 but I'm not sure who is running in it that is going to be just me and I'm just guessing I'm just tired out about it but it's a moment it hasn't been confirmed what it's going to be you know whether it's going to be the masters losers running or all will be I mean I'll take the 1st take away that will a Can somebody qualified by right but you could take the 1st ball for a while and he and then you could run all he'd want to beat people who didn't get tired and seize the fastest fall that would certainly be the most sensible idea and that would be the fairest idea to everyone concerned because those who did battle the conditions to get through have every right to say I'm staying where I am seems to be like a sensible conclusion from the organizers to make the best of a bad job if I don't come I want to come back you just pick up something that you said was speaking about Jess and I still are targeting she said he said she set up a life and what we have to remember when athletes choose the time to retire that it's not just about achievement and it's about reaching your back to winning medals it is also sometimes just about a livelihood about a living. I can only speak for myself with regards to retirement and I'll be totally honest with you years after I was. With my retired members the Elim people in Athens I couldn't stop that because I knew what help me. Be successful awfully kind of felt like it left that night that fight and not want to be an pick champion. Was huge was huge and I think it is so close. That that was that was a driving force but then. People around me what I call well why would you retired now you've just given the money yeah yeah yeah I was the one who never performed on the circuit so it's a totally different mindset and it didn't work for me and going into 2006 a new act I was struggling to train with the same intensity I think whilst I was a Whilst I was fighting to try and win the Olympic gold I could pull more out myself I train twice a day you know I do my training session that Linford Christie gave me and then I go into Christian balconies training session in the evening so I was totally not training sessions and I was trying to fight and fighting but what's up with and the people that fight just didn't feel the same and then also my oldest son. The day that I retired I've been there for one birthday and I just just those are the things I wanted. The dreams I wanted and by the time I was born in 2006 I knew I knew it was over for me I knew I would stop and I think when we will be the meddling call from the European Championships that was it for me I was like you know what I never wanted to be the Awfully that continues and people actually said . Maybe it's actually quite young Yeah yeah it was you're going to think it shocked a lot of people because of this when I'm told and I was gone and I went the only thing I wanted was because they want me to. The goal to pay them a run in the big meet there and I I did what do it I why I ended up going to Scotland a little me and I want it to run in a race where it all striking me yeah great yeah I wanted to go there yet I think you know what Jonathan it was the best thing that I did because. That's how it started for me it started as a dream I was called to the Olympic Games I was a child you know I was inspired by watching an athlete win Olympic gold I want to know what it felt like to start at the top of the podium and I had my moment and. That's it every off lease different a lot of athletes go out there and focused on the money and they run on the circuit but for me to sponsors not what about you what made you retire I was 37 and my body was telling me shit so I am jealous that you can do this and you know and you see that this is you just you know see how far you can just run that's what I say I mean we're going to watch the women's 4 and to me to final line up tonight and it was a real potential for Christina who are Vitis an equal sign you had to draw us in getting into 3 Olympic finals and she failed went out in the semifinal we will see her again in the relay at the back end of the week but it's a big decision for her now because I can't see her recapturing any of the magic this is so in our time to talk your name I'll be all these She retired in the mind I think here will go and see Porsche I suppose the support since this incident well to make the team here and she did well to fall the way she did up until the point of having fogl and not making a fireball the way she spoke She's don't like State of the women's 400 meter hurdles my customer Yes and going in the last of them probably in around 25 minutes time this one features Geneve Russell of Jamaica a controversial selection in Jamaica She hasn't run since June because of a 40 injury but she is highly talented a former world junior champion now 22 years of age she's drawn a line number 3 the Canadian Chinese chase in lane one and the pole link of it's in 107 also with times that suggest that they should be qualifying for the semifinals tomorrow. Either way then 10 barriers ahead of them the 1st 3 of these will qualify for certain for those semifinals tomorrow and there are places for 6 fastest losers are likely to include the 17 year old American Sidney Brooklyn but we'll find out later as they head down the back straight now and making their way through gliding away over the hurdles his journey Russell no sign of any injury at this stage of the race from Puerto Rico Grace Claxton he's also running prominently in the early stages and towards the outside. Us right there as well at this stage think of it's of Poland has a lot of work to do as they head around in towards their home straight in a student of Russell who has the advantage as they come out towards this area now virtually in line with the Barbados athletes he had and bell on the outside and now it's Judy Russell who's class begins to show and she comes towards the final barrier now with a 2 or 3 major advantage and now the Polish athlete Ninkovich is vanishing very very strongly on the outside and link of it just gets there looking across to Russell over in line 3 who also qualifies in 2nd place so 2 of the fragrance in that particular hate have made their way through to the semifinals here we're in a real transition period in this event it's a real changing of the guard a lot of new faces a lot of new names to leave us so for me who finishing 2nd from Jamaica she resembled quite Dion Hemmings the great 400 hurdles and then pick champion from Jamaica throwing their hurdling technique of Sandra farmer Patrick Easter hurdle against Sally Gunnell who could not hurdle she was so so quick on the plan but every time she came up to the barrier is almost like she was a holes taken Bitches Brew going so sky high where you got the beauty of Sally Gunnell he had the technical ability of a sprint hurdler So yeah it was it was great to see Jenny Russell there but. Got it in the end 5607 nothing massively quick at all but it's all about qualification it is time you're listening to live a little bit live with it fix the. I tied for the 31st and pick a day for the athletics we were ready to light here but it exposed a lot the Men's a 100 meters the women's 400 metres by no other advice time for 2 45 am for the men's 800 metres everything's 400 meter ponder the push to find posture a 20 minutes later than it was originally she today we're also hearing at 315 is going to be an extra 110 meter hurdles rice because the 1st 2 hates are so affected by the weather and we think it's that the faster the dawn qualifies for those hands who writes often not and they run faster in the process they just they will both fix the bottom but I had to talk a full time sorrow which is yes and the Olympic champions from London $22.00 of the Netherlands a safety 3 to the semifinals they've managed to knock out the silver medalist in London 22 out of Argentina 3 to the final school so we now have a women's hockey semifinal lineout these matches will take place on Wednesday it will be Great Britain against New Zealand and then the Netherlands against Germany yes it will happen right brained after we've taken the 5 Live news which showed up on Bala.

House to say. Games are inside. Still doing. The best I still feel his freaking kidding oh thank you thank you thank you trying to basically shake it's me and I say again sometimes this is your football station this is 5 life Rio 26 see Jonathan Edwards. Team g.b. Elias 2nd in the medal table off for another goal. And that was a 1st Olympic medal one of cycling's rights but it scoops up the final cut which my shoulder. To sell. To general I don't really think oxy and it's a great chance of gold in the Women's on the a while Laura Trott leads off to 3 events here in the stadium there was wrong specifically Hitchen in the Hama and the women's hockey team a 3 to 7 final against New Zealand away from Rio Chelsea West Ham she won thanks to a lightweight by Diego Costa 26 c. When Jonathan was. Welcome back to the Olympic stadium in Rio West Bank filleted the right has still the athletes are at the next 3 of the 400 meter hurdles but discus qualifying is ongoing on the men's pole vault as race started interestingly before the weather really got bad there was 3 attempts in the poll of competition but the officials decided according to rule 125.70 have you know that the competition would begin a guy and I will start from scratch but certainly a little bit. Well the $22.00 degrees not too bad but it probably feels a little bit cooler than that is going to be a difficult day for those pole vaulters and of course we've got Reno villany the Olympic champion looking to defend his title but yes I say notoriously vulnerable when it comes to my competition having never won a World Title Microsoft we were talking about retirement how many athletes do you think your vast experience of got it right the timing. Is difficult and I mean you know the greatest of all time who I you know I wasn't privileged to cover but I was at the funeral this year and it was a remarkable event Mohammad Ali. Got it so badly wrong you know some of his performances in particular in 1900 games in our hands in 91 against travel but they left a horrible mark on his career and for a long time Steyn how he was remembered over time those were forgotten we went back to remember in the glory days against Joe phrase here against Ken Norton against George Foreman and the like but it is very very difficult and it's it's a particular problem Jonathan in individual schools because it's your decision once . Somebody like Andy Cole for example at Manchester United is surplus to Alex Ferguson's requirements he will no longer get picked he then has to go to another club or slicked down the leads in team sports the decision is quite often made for you but in individual sports like athletics and boxing is the worst of all because there are so many routes back for so many boxes because it comes up when I was discussing with Darren Campbell about money when it's a check put in front of you it's so easy to carry on because you think you have I want that money and all that money brings So now the next State of the women's 400 metre hurdles and this one features another American Ashley spend search 23 years of age she was 2nd in the recent American championships and she's drawn here in line number 5 in our performances so far this season this should be a very smooth no fast quality. Cation for her she had so over the 2nd barrier towards the outside Leah Nugent's of Jamaica is also running strongly having seen her competitors written on a Tracey qualify in the previous 8 and heading down the back straight now and is at least 3 in line Ashley Spencer Victoria to catch who could Ukraine and Nugent of Jamaica who had drawn away from the rest of the field now as they come over barrier number 73 more remaining as they reach their home straight to Nugent of Jamaica who were 2nd in the Jamaican national championships is now leading Ashley Spencer although as they come towards the 2nd barrier Spencer quickens into it and they are virtually in unison now on towards the barrier as the only one between them on the winning line and Ashley Spencer wasn't too fluent but skipped over it and now has the greater power in the closing 20 meters in wins by 3 or 4 metres from in 2nd place near Nugent and then to catch up takes the 3rd qualifying spot for Ukraine 55.12 seconds in the conditions that that's a pretty impressive time well not the prettiest over the hurdles but certainly the fastest on the flat she has a personal best of 50 point a setback far she was the quickest form to me to run out in that field and she used that speed between the fight to hurdles because she certainly wasn't swift over the barriers but yet top down qualified by right 55.12 just a bit slower than the quickest qualifier responded Tracy from Jamaica in an early heat 5480. Well we've been talking about all of it and the track cyclist rivalry between attended but had built and they have written for the final time 2 days ago she won bronze in the period the more likely the most decorated Olympian with 6 medals but today she was beaten in the record trying to defend her sprint title you know where I want it and I mean that's it and I knew this was going to be very difficult it's great for me as it has been and I'm here my best chances are in the care and team sprint invested and I knew that I didn't think I mean it's Am I just going to set. Changed a lot. Of what's really hot and as heavy as I feel I'm still very proud clearly an emotional week you know the greatest most successful cyclist ever from Australia you got to bear the flag this week as well I mean. It just was in there on the track you didn't feel this week even though you have got those medals now that I'm really really proud of that runs medal in the care and I am and it was so close to cross the line I gave everything that I could where I struggle was to back up after that performance and unfortunately for the 1st time in twenty's he is my mum but it gave way I couldn't I couldn't get any more around and. I wanted to believe me and I put myself in every position to to win races and that's what it was all about I just didn't have the legs at the time straight and pushed me back that well you know there's ups and downs highs and lows just like there is in life and there's 2 sides to every coin so my whole career is China I haven't made it and I haven't won everything I've actually lost more I says and. I'm still very proud of everything and obviously with the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast 2006 maybe Tokyo on the horizon as well maybe you could take some advice from Vicky Pendleton here you've just notes are so. Good in. Sorry. I've already cried. Obviously you took you guys about some bottles over the years so I'm sure you look from the back of those Oh absolutely. Both of us have said I wouldn't have been as good as I was if it wasn't. The man of times I woke up one morning and pictured her bed asleep at midnight going to get as much. Time she wakes I was going to play catch up. Now I've appreciated the time that you've given me so on and the messages of support you and. You know how hard this position. By David that she has to do the actual writing. Well we've got 2 very emotional ladies and 2 true legends of the sport thank you and I for you for your time we wish you all the best and thank you. Steve Perry Barrett Alan Mears and Victoria Pendleton I'm just going back to your point Mike about in a team sport that we get told to retire but I guess as an individual there are still lots of discussions with the team around you even though you aren't of individual and said even family in the sacrifices you make and down talked about you know miss your son's birthday suggests that it still is a big family dynamic to this is what I think a lot of it is about feel and if you listen to the interviews that we've done now it's so near and down and down with Jessica Ennis so on you're almost immediately after the competition. At a more considered price and also with course you know her you know I got the sense that they were both. Overwhelmed by the feeling that the time was right they got the feeling that the winds of change are blowing through in particular mentioned how she noticed the hunger of the younger athletes that you can't you just can't put it there if it ain't there you just can't. Grab recreate that desire to get out of bed every morning and to push that extra yard in every training session and you know once you get it's not so much that I used it you're right it's how many miles are on the clock and you know these things are athletes who've been training since they were 14 and 15 and and in particular you know that the 2 disciplines that we're talking about the heptathlon and the 400 meters particular body breaking events as they all are in a different ways but I think that in their sentiments there were definite signs that they had realized that their time had come and was slipping away and maybe they could muster one final effort but that just can't match the hunger of the younger athletes and he said in particular against nafissatou t.n. Who. Is doing what any series doing a dozen years ago and you mentioned the team Jonathan I bumped into 20 minutes. Last night on the way out you've been working with our television colleagues and he said to me I don't keep some skin just about retirement and in his eyes you could just see the fear of going what do I do without Jess because she has defined him as a coach said she was well 1314 even younger when he started coaching there she's made him into a fantastic coach and he's made her into a fantastic athlete there isn't going to be another Jessica Yanez I don't think in Britain she is a special special character in talent and in everything about it with Katherine and Johnson Thompson looking at the different. A different person altogether very different but a superstar nonetheless in the making absolutely but I'm on about you know tiny minute challenge how often does a coach get the opportunity to meet a young athlete at the young age and take them all the way through to a limp champion very very few cultures get that absolute opportunity and he it was almost like the fear in his eyes he knows it's coming to an end and that's a real skill isn't it to get to be able to develop and evolve with the athletes because so many times you do have to change coaches to go on to the next level are changed are changed I had to change because my thing was always to coaches and. Learn new stuff yet because training methods change coaches because what's how you know what the coach knows if the coach doesn't develop themselves and then no board to me why they're about that's how was it you have to be ruthless because it's your career like State of the women's 400 meter hurdles Mark this is 4 of 6 Sarah minor that goes in the last of them ranked number 6 in the world this year here when Danell of South Africa on the inside in 11 and sorry Peterson of Denmark are the main contenders she's in line 5 the newly crowned European champion won the title in Amsterdam at the beginning of July she's drawn in one. 5 as they settle into the blocks the 4 1st 3 of them will qualify for the semifinals tomorrow and there are places for 6 fastest news there on the way and a moment Sidney McLaughlin The 17 year old American that we referred to earlier on is among the half a dozen who are in contention for those fastest loser spots as they head on to the back straight and so the race favorite here sorry Peterson is taking command of the race and he's scorching clear as they head towards Hurdle number 4 and now on to the halfway stage and towards the inside you know belly of Trinidad and Tobago is pushing through in 2nd place when denial on the inside is also running very strongly at this stage but it's our Pietersen who has a commanding advantages they make their way around they still down track into the home straight over Hurdle number 8 and it's Pietersen now with when De Niro emerging as the main challenger over on the inside but she's 5 metres adrift and Trinidad and Tobago is in 3rd place over the final barrier Pietersen running strongly here with I think a medal contender shout with this kind of performance she trots over the line from when Donnelly in 2nd place very close to 30 might have been and have it's of Poland taking the last of a certain qualifying spots but no such worries for sorry Pietersen joined by when Danell in qualifying for tomorrow's semifinals Wow that was very very impressive from Sara Peterson there she has looked good on the circuit all year it was a semifinal for her in love did 4 years ago she finished agonizingly outside of the medals at the World Championships last year says she is getting better we know that even though she's 29 years old she looked for 7 there and she really did just switch off once she got over the final barrier it's so difficult to take 400 hurdles heat easy because they have a stride pattern it's not like 400 meters where you can kind of check to 50 check again when you come into the home straight and think I'll just switch off and just joke close time they still have flights of hurdles they still need to hear. Their stride patterns they still need to hit their marks but she really did look good and there's sort of a message out to the Jamaicans and Americans she wants to come across who comes in here number 6 now as we were hearing earlier from Star which is Britain's women hockey team Spain 312 which the saw the photos of herself but 100 percent record here in New Zealand Here's how the Richardson will say from 6 sounds nice doesn't it but we all know that kind of means nothing at the moment the next one is massive New Zealand are a fantastic team but we've really built momentum in this tournament we kind of getting to where we know we can be today I thought we controlled the game pretty much from start to finish maybe the last 5 or 10. Yeah we had a really good games then hope we can build enough the next one and here is Kate riches and Walsh alongside Kate you've come through that you've got New Zealand how much of a different proposition is a New Zealand team display and similar in some ways that they've got some very good counter-attacking players as as have Spain I think they've got a little bit more quality back to front so we will defensively need to be really assured and radio organized and then when those chances come we have to absolutely capitalise on them and be really diligent with the ball up front when we women get out there you have put such good results on the board as a team in this Olympics last Olympics coming into the semifinal stage you actually lost the last couple of group games how much difference is it going to make the momentum that you've built this time you haven't got about a minute and then I came back and we lost that today sort of going back but this time we have the momentum I think we've played and we've carried forward game to game I think it reminds me that in the qualifier if you can the same house in Valencia when we just build on the forest. And we actually start from square one every start every game and it feels that again which is a really nice feeling to have a months but when you turned up there was a. Slide Fire on the other side of the road and smoke billowing over this bill that's a bit different isn't it I know that Kate is that just like mission when the farm has been in the field sometimes you get the snow coming over say where it was actually a familiar feeling but 'd obviously kept our focus and this starts this game was in poor and we came out and took it to the rifle yet we had to be in houses. Had a few sides got. Right what is going to happen and what we the manager on our own in the top of a technical delegates and they're much as well you know in control of it so without confident that the game would go ahead and the players. Haven't paid Richard with all the Williams I'm not for the foreigners on Wednesday 9 pm you hate getting to 5 large school life in a stadium on a rainy July evening session of athletics everybody's timing that people thought they had we got the men's 800 liter final with David in the shade going in that 5 toss 3 it's the women's 400 meter final with Allyson Felix and then at $315.00 a run of 110 meter hurdles heats the wet it was awful when the 1st 2 weeks happened in a non-polar fires from those 3 heat for from heat one for from heat to run off with a chance to get a sport as fastest losers my Costello and I were saying earlier and eminently sensible solution to what was a very difficult time in the stadium Yes he was in particular in the 2nd tape when the rain was pouring down almost torrentially but for the 1st 8 as well it was quite heavy so the athletes who finished in $67.00 and $8.00 positions in each of those will now basically have a run off and to see where there are times it won't necessarily be just the 1st 4 from this rerun rice in their times will then be measured against others who are in contention for fastest loser spot so still slightly complicated but at least they can. A 2nd chance and we were hearing from Sonia McLaughlin the tracks I saying how the Jamaican athletes use Carter was particularly curious and it might well have been the Jamaicans who who protested it might just have been the officials who come today senses and decided that they need and deserve a 2nd chance given the conditions and given the conditions that prevailed for the remaining hates when they came back after this is spent because of rain we do wonder if the fastest loses from the next lot of karma when the heat's there were by piece they get knocked out which you have to do with a rerun of those 1st and 2nd takes But anyway we should wait and see what happens after that rerun Now the. Heat of these women's 10400 meter hurdles and the speeches the gold medal favorites and the world leading time this year is held by dilemma how many of the United States the American champion drawn in Lane number 3 Lauren wells of Australia looks to be in contention she's in lane one and they're on the way then made looking to increase the American representation in the semifinals and she's going off very sweetly here over the 1st couple of barriers she already has a commanding advantage at this stage she's the only athlete to have broken 53 seconds for the season and the next closest tiny 7 tenths of a 2nd slower than her dilemma has made then a scorching down the back straight and reaches the halfway stage to her inside far and a Chelsea So France is trying to work their way into contention as they reach the crown of the bend towards the outside the tally as son of a of those Pakistanis also in there in contention but they're all some way behind the man made who is controlling most race from the front now guys towards the 2nd last barrier takes it comfortably takes it confidently and runs away now by 5 or 6 metres from Lauren wells the Australian 2 was inside finishing strongly and wider still it's a sign of Kazakstan up tools ally may come now and accountable win for the gold medal favorite dilemma Hammett sorry Peterson looked good in the previous tape but I have it looks. An absolute favorite in the waiting she will remain so we see it's quite a unique. Sort of personal best ratio that she's got with the $400.00 flight time and I heard those time is actually only point 2 difference which is really odd because usually you have about a 2nd and a half to almost 2 seconds difference between you for a fact that I know that means she doesn't run that many for a flat because she is so swift but the beauty of watching her is she hurdles like a dream she trains with Brianna Rollins who's one of the best sprint hurdlers that we've got around at the moment from America and you can almost tell you know she attacks the hurdles although only 2 foot 6 a lot shorter than Sprint hurdle height she she attacks it as she would be a sprint hurdler and and she just looks you know quite rightly have a mentor and just does not slow down at all her rhythm is still high she looks absolutely serene then 5533 absolutely slowing down without a doubt the favorite for the title of one of. These in about 20 minutes time it's the men's 800 meters for the day. 5 hours 3 hours in the words 400 meters for a fast and curvy Let's build up so I really do well in this final week she had a fabulous season the last race in London she didn't quite get that stride plan right how important is this heat in terms of building cope with it till we think potentially other medal. It's huge I mean she started the season magnificently well she she won the Diamond League I think she's currently up there leading the Diamond League standings which is you know the equivalent of an f one circuit if you like where they athletes go out and run $77.00 of us around the world starting in the beginning of the season and she's run a lot. On the circuit and that's the thing the beauty is she hasn't been necessarily knocking down the times but she's been beating people people are now starting to feel her because she's looked solid she's managed to hone her. Stride pattern she does 15 strides to 6 and she finally got it right in Monaco and that's where you fatigue starts can you add another stride and then you do it again and it acts. Perfectly Monica says when she got a personal best to show you breaking 54 seconds but it didn't go right in London really interesting when I was talking to Collin today he said he'd been talking to Malcolm have decided to go back to what she used to do which is change down a herd of 5 what I mean by that is add another stride in and all that does is just keep the cadence high he keeps it moving quick she's not a particularly fast flash forward to meter runner but she's strong Malcolm has has some strong links here a lot more confidence and we're seeing it in the sort of performances on the circuit that are just pick your. Battles that it's gone back to something up or do they change to a different stripe because they thought it would take it to the next level this is almost a retrograde step Yeah I think well I think what Malcolm has done and I'm just going to be watching as she was she says she's just coming out of blocks now and they're running on the 1st hurdle and she certainly you know will be eager to get out there have a long time waiting in the warm up call Very But yeah be really interesting to see how she how she attacks this week because we'll have a look at 5 and. What you're looking forward to hurdler is maintaining speed at all times and almost by the naked eye we can hardly tell that they've changed let's try pattern or all we don't want to see is stuttering and what we've seen is every time with this new stride pattern she's got it right to hurdle now. 9 And then when she gets to the 10th hurdle she's almost reaching for she's straining to get there she's lengthening her stride which only just slows you down and I guess Marcus just said you know I tell you what let's let's go back not to the drawing board let's go back to the best part in training she's done they do a time trial to hurdle 10 so you don't do the phone for to me to see to almost 350 metres personal best 48 seconds so she that's the sort of confident she will need for Malcolm Arnold as Malcolm As Collins said in his interview earlier this is the implications the man has so many medals behind him back in 172 he took John Uganda's 1st gold in the 7 So she's got the best person behind coaching and guiding giving a confidence and she believes a self you know she genuinely believes this is her time she finished 5th last year she now really needs to get on to the podium. Campbell you have some saw you in your career with Malcolm I'll just talk about the implements he has because so many athletes with him so we have to talk about the special relationship but he hasn't. Got the rain coming down again it's not just star in drizzle. Comes a hard taskmaster. He. Likes to get every last little bit out of his awfully And it's it's interesting Wallace in saying that because he does get you fit if you can money says not get injured that you will go out and perform because you were glad you saw it because it was so hard like I was saying about in that rain there was no need for us to do 61 twenty's as I say 606061 twenty's very well you know the rain that that was coming down early it was that type of rain cause we're in Australia so you know when it decides it's going to rain it's proper proper raid we will get is so good you know everybody else gone. Into the stand on the road with 5 he was still out there and we were thinking he's got a call to see he's got a call to see we've got to 10 and you can't go when we look at him and basically he's one of those coaches that tests you will how much she wanted How much do you really really want to how much will you for and I like to say to you could open call box that you know when you step on that line that you are super super fit and it's that confidence that you need that when you go in the big stage that you know you're ready and that's the thing if you look at the Ashley star he's coached I don't think there's any who have been successful as long as you know. That they're successful. Ok Mike ready to go in this final heat and she's joining in line at number 6 and she is by some margin the fastest in this particular fail and she's seen all of the main rivals for the title qualify in the early days this is the 6th and final 1st round Hayden went out half past 10 local time half past 2 in the u.k. Really the oil is the 4th fastest of all the entrance in this particular discipline so she is a genuine medal contender here in the stadium in way of Britain have won the 4 so far gold from O'Farrell. Silver for just again his heel and bronzes this morning for Sophie Hitchon and at the weekend for Greg Rutherford can. Add to that number 1st of all she has to get through this opening round heat to the semifinals tomorrow and the 1st 3 will get there she's drawn in line number 6 the main challenges here are Lane a collision a chunk of Ukrainian lane 3 and the Canadian sage Watson who is right on the inside in lane at number one they down on their blocks then this the last 8. Only daughter lane 6 has Sherrilyn Scott of Costa Rica on her outside to use a measuring gauge in the early stages and is very close to the lead as they head to the 2nd barrier at the entrance to the back straight down the far side with a smattering of spectators to her right hand side and running fluently towards turtle number 4 and she has a decisive advantage at this stage on the inside sage Watson of Canada is also running prominently and trying to get into contention in lane 3. 0 of Ukraine but they're all a long way adrift from here this is one of the most impressive 1st round performances as they come in to all their home straight or at least daily Doyle downs because she's pretty much alone from Sage Watson of Canada are on the inside Doyle skips over the 2nd barrier now runs on strongly powerfully towards the final one to start a slightly into it but pulls away from the barrier in impressive style early door wins from say what's in 2nd place in 3rd 55.46 seconds job done for a leader well yeah great stuff really really impressive there she did back off as she was approaching the Thames barrier she didn't stutter so much but she did shortness strides which just started to slow him a man 10 we might see or attack back in the semifinal and certainly when she gets the final She's got no question she needs to attack that barrier. It's going to be so so difficult for her to get on to the podium but I tell you what I'd still be lay my money on her because she believes in a selfish year it was 6 that the world champ. Last year and I see feels that she knows that she's going to be a personal best she has to perform under 54 seconds there's no way you're going to get on to not running $53.00 something but she'll be pleased with that and hopefully we'll hear a thought and she gets to speak to Sonya but now we're going to build up towards one of the big races of the state in the race of the saving the world in the world installed which is coming up with a men's 800 meter with David Rudisha That's in just under 50 minutes time and Michael Steele you called that incredible run in London $22.00 open the front round a world record sub 141 just just take us back to your memories of cool in that race. Well remember him taking it on in particular at the 400 meter mark and then running the next 100 meters as if it were a 100 metre sprint and putting distance between himself and the rest of the field and it wasn't till he got through till about 600 metres when I suddenly realised with the urgings of Allison Curbishley next to me that he was suddenly on world record pace because it was that surprise that world record was just don't happen in a 100 metre finals at the Olympic Games but here it did and I've been to Kenya twice in recent years and spent a lot of time with his coach brother column O'Connell the Irish missionary who went there in the mid 1970 s. And has produced so many world champions and Olympic champions and he told me a wonderful story about the build up to the 800 metres final he said that on the night before the final there was another Kenyan in the line up a 17 year old called Timothy Keating and David Rudisha went to his room in the Olympic Village and said to him at the 400 metre mark tomorrow night I am going to fly everybody will try to come with me you stay back run your own rice they will die you will be fine at the 400 metre mark he took off as if the gun had only just sounded clear distance between. So often the rest of the field the likes of Mohammed Omran of Ethiopia who was reckoned to be one of his mind challengers went with him tried to try to go with the great man and completely folded in the closing stages Timothy Keating took the advice of his mentor in the village from the previous evening and won the bronze medal at the age of 17 it was quite the most staggering performance but this was the night before his momentous event he was so composed so in control of his situation he knew he was about to create history and he went to his compatriots room the night before and told him not remarkable Let's listen to what the shoes and memories of night 2012 reviewing the time they get a boat going in b. I don't know how many times I've described that trace but that's all sort of man me house patient it was I had a lot of pressure but I really wanted to be for class and not destructive in that day in that final and there I was there I had a plan and I just wanted to stick to it because my plan was called One I wanted to run I won 41 without a pacemaker I thought that they were the one in question was how to do it so I had my speed you know I did like this a bit of calculation before the competition so I wanted to stick to that speed and we chase everything perfectly but to prep the water record I was also surprised as you sit here now can you very quickly. Back into the immediate feeling when you cross the line you saw the clock you realise what you did she Can you remember is it still very vivid in your mind Yeah exactly I remember the moment in industries and you know. When I crossed have to line actually and the fast thing that I was really happy about was to wean the corn mad of course that was of a very important and in I knew that the crock expecting to see that I court 141 or even ab broke there and they won in p.k. And record you know championship record but to see their water record clicking 140 I was like wow I was a bit shocked and you can see them washing into reaction after that ice tasting a pretty good course it's something that wasn't no train to expect. David Rudisha speaking to Phil Jones there right now it's London 2012 when you run so will she was delighted to say we've been joined by Laurie I did to the track and field website run blog run that called Larry you know you to follow David Rudisha career where your memories of that night and such as well. I think it was one of the most the top 5 races of my life that I've ever seen because not only to win the gold medal to set a world record in the 800 metres from running I was amazing I don't think we'll ever see it again and that's the thing from running I mean you almost won and this is a lovely thing about track and field and statistics being placed in the shape he was in rugby. It's amazing seeing that race. It's almost beaming us. I think your idea I asked the 1st attempt to the men's possible final. Prize the silver 0 Brazil 5 meters and $65.00 centimeters he passed at the opening harder 5 metres in 50 days proved to be a sensible decision clear 1st time one of only 2 athletes so far to go clear in these very difficult conditions fight me. Isn't $65.00 centimeters Santiago browsed the silver of Brazil is very much in contention it could be a little kid in some but polity if he wins tonight I think that some of them will have to try to get out and there are let me come to that encounter about diabetes should we hear a sprint he almost of crosses that boundary between insurance and sprint when you see him but he's almost in a typical 800 metre runner in terms of the salaries Yeah you know just listening to his feet he's got. Is a ruthless Bob obviously you know Paul is a very focused man to plan our what you'll going to do the night before I mean. You know. Tells you a lot about the man and he does have a mentality of this principle that he sold quietly spoken needs he struck an assassin. That's a great description of all of his interviews are like that and you Chapter 8 Listen really close to hear every word but every word has power to it and is running it so much power to that's part of the story yeah and that's why with you when you use the analogy it's pretty wise but that's where it comes from because for Sprint as with the same with the same ruthless we focus on what we have to do both ahead and you know from a court from a spirit to so much appreciation for what we witness. Because. When you get to see this side of the seat you get to see the athletics when you are an athlete you don't really see the performances you hear about the ball that was a mind blowing form and it was 100 seconds 100 seconds of absolute. I mean it was just police he is so smooth and serene and I remember the race like it was last night and I do remember just punching Mike kind of looking at the 6. To me to. Thinking this is me to kill us well Evan he really was that last night with Wade Van Niekerk when we were all looking at the clock and I thought she just tell us 40 seconds as he's getting closer yet because he's one of those things where as they get closer to the law you do have a little glimpse over the clock and you go well hope at the minute when somebody position 50 me is to go the clocks not all the time because you watch so many races you get a feeling for you at what point did you feel he was going to he was going to break the record I think by Andy Kirk is the equivalent of a d.c. With the 800 and I interviewed him in June. And I was convinced that he was focused enough to do it but watching him in a semi and how relaxed he was and then what he did with mirrors and cranny James he just played with them at 300 to go there's a lovely picture we just put up of him taking the lead at 300 meters to go and it's amazing and watching I don't think I was breathing the last 50 meters and I watched him break the record and tell you this as they say it wasn't very intense that they spread obviously he's no in that kind of Will how do you see this guy at any particular the American or strike he's got a fantastic story world in Georgetown believe in the mix as well as David Rudisha we have to determine which David will be here tonight will he keep it slow in kick like crazy Will he go out like mad. For sparing and I believe. Will go from the beginning and that's how he'll win are he'll metal. The guy was working at McDonald's 18 months ago he's with Big Bear Track Club now the spiritual leader of the club is Joe b. Hill one of the finest coaches in the world Brenda Martinez and her husband really run the club Boreas is a great young man got silver got 2nd in the us trials to collate Murphy Murphy someone else who could be quite dangerous. If Murphy has I equate Murphy to Sept. If he's got room. Murphy could medal I believe he only just got into the semifinal but then a semi final He's a different athlete I mean it's the 1st time I've seen him 21 years old and everyone's getting very excited the Americans think they haven't seen and you haven't seen more is capable of yet you mention the bars as a front runner it's obviously how he got the world indoor title but you've also got Peter in there he beat David Rudisha the trials from Kenya he's a front runner as well is it's got everything has it's going to be really fun but this is a championship race and we've seen so many of them. I tend to think it'll be a little slower and if it's slower quite murky I think but Darien could change the whole thing let's see which bores parent comes out and which David Murphy comes out. Of the truck and. They would Asian is that just wondering around about that blokes getting ready with a couple of minutes away from the men's 800 meters or so that fascinate thing. Campbell I mean how much do you think the aura they'd be sure I will miss I mean it's been a long time but that is ups and downs that is that is the world champion getting qualification well what it's going to say before you can ask a question if they want to in the way he was walking then the columnist was like he would float. These. Barry called me that because you know when you ready it's like everything slows down and you wall with the hour it is you know you mention here with regard to being a sprinter he was just walking with that of confidence that yes a ball card the confidence and just following on from that remember last night when you handed to Nick Davis in a bar in Jamaica if you could teleport tame now into the Ted in Kenya right now the club where we all used to go and get the best burger will be buzzing it will be jumping and there will be watching this man that I would is all yours and the athletes are being introduced to the crowd from the outside line through to the inside and very soon the image of the legend that is David Rudisha will appear on the screens at either end of this magnificent stadium home to 3 world records already David Rudisha hasn't been in anything like that kind of form this season but he still comes here as the world's number one the defending Olympic champion a lane 3 to full line up shows Clayton Murphy of the United States in one Martina. Evan Dusty of Poland in 2. Twice close up in World Championship finals this is his 1st a lympics final here and was boss of France is in line for outside Rudisha then another Kenyan. In the Kenyan Olympic trials in Eldoret just over a month ago but says he lost the Olympic trials last year and went on to win World Championship gold so he's not concerned how pick kloof a of Algeria is drawn in lane 6 the Olympic champion last time around over 1500 meters Boris Parry and then of the United States who we've been discussing just recently is in line 7 and a 3rd Kenyan in the line up Ferguson rotates on the outside in line number 8 later . They are leaning forward over their start line is just in front of us here just beyond the start line and they're on the way to laps of the track running it is said is an extension of their lives they do it a sting to it isn't imposed on them as they head out on to the far side and few of the Kenyans have done it with the grace and the fervor of David Rudisha who pounds into the lead here across 50 years lympics success few have managed what he has done and now in the latest Alfred kick the man who beat him in the Kenyan trials he's virtually sprinting away fan Nico through the 1st 300 meters and into the home straight they can he runs with flailing arms just he's trying to stop himself falling off the edge of a cliff here for a 5 metres clear permutation in 2nd place both in 3rd period and the normally front running American is in 3rd place here as they go through the bell and kick a turn now is coming back to the rest of the field British are in 2nd place yeah what has he done he's ruined his chances keep Peter he's not running his own race he's running David releases right handed he's just playing with a heavy damage he's our lap here we go down the back straight it's ready so we can . Heats up 250 meter cigar Rudisha Here's the front from both the process in 2nd place keep the turret starting to weaken. Philippic chappie last time around is coming through to push into the home straight I come David Rudisha now predict to become the 1st man in 50 years to successfully return a fairly big I don't envy to start the crowd or to harm. His partner it is clear for Matthew Pierce 2nd place the United States in 3rd pretty sure has done it they were better 42.16 seconds per 2nd is the fastest time in the world this year when it mattered most British or comes good for the 1st time in 50 years a man has successfully defended their Lipitor 800 meters title and that man is the legend very cold very good retention of Kenya and look what it means to him Mike he holds is a harms I love that was hard he had to dig deep Yes he's not the David pretty sure 4 years ago but he's the David pretty sure that we all know and love as the legend he wasn't going to give his title up easy and Alfred Kita I know he's only 19 but bless him he didn't run his race he ran with pieces race he didn't know what to do out there McLeish He kept his head but Martin Clayton Murphy we tip our hats a year 21 years of age and he t. Now is a bronze medalist at the Olympic games we haven't seen an American medal since 9092 well before this young man was born he will be a star in the States right now. David Retief just a youthful beautiful ruddy didn't get by. With. Thousands that he fell into his trap and he just Darren Campbell just. About lost the last 300 meters the massive. Susan see the ball kid I went this is this is. Like I say you go back 4 years ago you hear the story you hear what he said and you start to focus when you've got experience and you know what you do it like he said listen up last night the trials before he played with he played with them because he made it like he was going to go for it and then he just it was almost like he went Ok I'll tell you what you could be my pacemaker and. Yeah I'm going to make you be my pacemaker because I'm going to make you think I'm going to go elite you're going to cough like a crazy man and then I'm going to swell. All believable Larry and it's a Run of Run dot com So with us Larry your reaction about the fall of David Rudisha David Rudisha is the greatest 800 meter runner of his generation and he won in a different way to which was exciting. We should have thought about it he's in a race he's going to be there but I'm really proud of clay Murphy University of Akron young man and c.w. Indoor and outdoor champion and the u.s. Trout champion and I'm up there Master p. Meters of him oh that was just that's worth a few t.v. Moments to watch what is the bike of the young that's the cage they went off like a frightened rabbit. I feel bad for him but I think he's got other races in front of him. That's a great way. To come back I mean you know he was he was almost dead and buried as they went down the back straight got around the turn and he did come back again which all credit to him but yeah I mean McLeish He now needs to quickly get on the Get on the pass get back because he's going to be back in the morning for 1500 meter heats trying to retain his title and I remember just picking up on what you said about David Fisher The great they have a runner of his generation not the greatest $800.00 leagues around of all time the Olympic champion you know that I I would go as far as saying now. You're seeing him he could be the greatest one of all times what I'm Mike about it is the maturity of his racing he's raised in different ways now Ok he had a comeback from injuries and Jonathan as you know that's very hard to do and he did that he's come back to the top so you've got to give a great kudos for that and he's 27 years old he can win 3 of these things easily connect Can I just one of the best memories I have I've been lucky enough the last couple of years to travel out to Kenya and do some charity work with Steve Cram out there and his charity we do this cycle in mass island and I'm this year I was I was so popular because I mentioned to one of the masses that I had a picture on my phone of myself and David Rudisha and oh my word to the whole village came to see this picture he's amassed Sinai and my you know my side tried and so proud of this man and I was now I was so looked after all night I was you know I was the bomb they were all having a look at the well David Rudisha you know whatever dirty stuff and that's why I know you know these guys don't have television they listen on the radio they know this man and I showed him and I told him the story and he loved it he was to be proved a genuine mass I worry you have to kill a lawyer and David Rudisha is trying to wipe away that tradition because he wants to say the lines and he's trying to impose on his tribal peoples. That that's not necessary to prove that you're a man there are so many other different ways that you can prove that you're a man and he's trying to to wipe away with with years and decades of tradition in his time line so it's a bit interesting put them like we're talking about you saying you replace them in marketing other athletes and they have a man who is a colossus we talk about what are you saying both on the track but clearly he's. Off the track and there is something there around which track and field can make a great hero Well Darren Campbell was talking earlier about when he had been talking to him or a screen name or a screen said maybe there's been too much attention on you saying ball today explosion of the other great athlete start around at the moment when I spoke earlier on about Muhammad Ali and the vacuum that he left in boxing Well if you remember half a dozen years later in the middle of the 1980 s. Was one of the greatest confrontations and eras. That there's ever been in boxing Marvin Hagler Sugar Ray Leonard Roberto Duran and Thomas Hearns they came through together would not have had the same kind of attention had Muhammad Ali still been around so again I'm talking about you same ball ties to Mohammed Ali figure in athletics he doesn't have the global appeal of Ali I'll repeat that but he does have an appeal like now athlete has had a had across Africa in terms of its magnetism and when he 1000 link the same. Collectively a group of other athletes I think what the sport needs if we haven't got a single superstar is it the right rivalries in one of those other events it needs a great rider rate that we can build tools for for a championship and it can't be the 400 you know I think that's why we saw that performance last night because there were 3 high caliber forward to be a one as you know the show America's border to me as well as he's going to do with this championship so there is the opportunity to create that pool as I say as well . He Google septet yet Michael Johnson tried to do that and was unable to do it I don't even know how he's able to do it because the everybody systems that you need to run 100 meters to me is a different energy systems and then for me is on top of that so. There is an opportunity we will see deal by the pilot. Grow as a coward for right now he's just a child that will describe what happened last night so good to see David reduced to his last just a kiss for. You. One. Just a stunning stunning run from the 2 time allude to champion the world champion as well we're going to start to build up to the final final of the saving it features Allyson Felix women's 400 liters she's a whole trouble of that she's never completed the individual 400 I salute that guy to come she with it is 22 go by the list Sanya Richards rolls I think she can you know after watching her the Olympic trials ice she was really favoring the ankle wasn't running strong off the bend but as I washer here through their rounds and I particularly looked at her ankle and look how she was navigating the turns she looks healthy to me and it's hard to bet against a healthy Allyson Felix I think Shani will be her biggest rival in the event I think she's the only person poised to possibly win it but I still think I would give Allison a not here how do you expect to to run the race while tonight a little bit cool and windy so I think she'll have to run a smart race I think if the wind is down the back stretch she will have to run a pace the back stretch because if you run too fast into the headwind on the back she actually paid for it big time coming home so I don't think tonight we're going to see a very very fast race even though I think the track is great to run fast on and if the conditions are good you can we see now the way Banneker go but just because of the conditions tonight I think she'll have to run a little bit more conservatively and to ensure she has a nice coming home because if she's faltering Shannon Miller 61 has long strides reminds me of my horse a pyrrhic I'm not quite there yet I think she'll eventually get there but so yeah I think Charlotte more measured and conservative ratio get out well back up low down the back stretch and then really bring it home and what makes her so formidable over the. I think what makes our special is when she's pretty game she still keeps a good. Sideline So most of the times that athletes are coming down the home stretch you start to pity your stride length is short term and so now you're running slower and you're eating up less ground but Allison she is the salaried and as we all do but she still keeps a long low p. Stride which makes her very hard to catch like you'll see many of our races people are right there and they just can't pass their ad they want to go that place before it's too graphic I want to pass her but I just not happening because her legs are strides that lead to so long so that's what makes her good she's also a great championship runner she has a lot of good history in these events I think that that helps too when you have all your memories that Championships are that you win I think winning is a habit and she does it a lot so that helps so too can you give us your 123 Yeah I want to do would be Alice and Shannon may I think that's how she Hastings are fellas Francis just depends on if Natasha goes out too hard shows trouble coming home and Phyllis Francis very strong coming home I think Sirica Jackson let's go to yesterday so she's got my walk wild card but I think another American to win the bronze. And which is really speaking very well just in front of a very proud so it should look into how this morning she took the bronze medal with the final for the record for the gold but the price for the book auction. With a new record The world record you these guys are the women's $400.00 leads is less than 10 minutes away Larry still with us a lurch the world allowed simply because she's an incredibly talented athlete Well of all the medals but she doesn't have talking about heroes in the school really the recognition that she should she should have my 1st article on her when she was 16 and she went pro when she was 18. And I don't think she's ever had a misstep as a pro athlete she's very poised thank you number 400 metres it's almost certain your perfect race are believe her perfect race should be the 400 meter hurdles because as the way Bobby Kersee trains are full when I talk. The robot and I t's are a little bit and she says she'll never do it but this 400 meter is a big thing because she wanted the 200 here too and the injuries just she was just a tiny little bit off in the 200 final So she's all focused before the 405 but that American system is. You know she's in great shape a she would have been a contender in the Such a shame for the Olympic Games if she is going to try to do the double. I go back and forth about the u.s. Trial system but I think with our platter of athletes it's the most honest but also terribly brutal system. In the world and Mike a combination of what you guys do in the u.k. But I think it works pretty well for the Americans but again this is an example I'd love to see Nelson in the 200. But how do you do it with the sandwiches addiction how do you see this race go. Allison comes on at about $300.00 in walks by everybody as they're starting to collapse. Sack and. I don't like Sharni Miller I think she problems are Coach I have total respect for him I think she'll be in the battle it's to be between those 2. But 3rd Natasha and Tasha keeps it together but I also like Stephanie MacPherson She knows how to keep it together for a final solid economist Missy and I suppose it depends on. Knowing how to keep it together before the pacing in the 400 ladies getting it right all the adrenaline is coursing through your veins. Yeah I mean that's what I've been a man now it's Allyson Felix has this psychological advantage for me going into this. And I don't you see will be faced with what's going on outside but a fundamental going to does like to be right in the thick of it all the way family cut through all of that. Out of the woods. From lane 8 but I think. She could Jack said you know if you haven't seen it because face after the semifinal was a picture her eyeballs namely popped out of her head because she didn't realize what she'd done she looked at the clock 4983 and that sometimes worries me that the adrenalin now is kind of gone through a veins because she still wow that was so easy and so she'll go back and she'll try and tap that feeling again because I don't think it's going to be I think $4983.00 would get on the podium but she might have she might have done a final in the semifinal but she's right outside Allyson Felix Tasha Hastings is an aggressive runner she's going to go out hard 1st 200 meters will see her up there trying to get on to the heels of Allyson Felix and yeah I you know I I'm still I think showing a mil is a wonderful talent 22 years old silver medal at the World Championships she will be absolutely desperate to get on the top and I think that's going to be Allyson Felix as. Well the last of the gold medals to be decided here in the Olympic stadium on this 4th competition will be in the men's pole vault final and such are the conditions here remember the condition the competition was suspended because they are right and we've only reached the 2nd high 5 meters in $65.00 centimeters and already 6 of the 12 man field are out of the competition level and the reigning Olympic champion hasn't even entered the competition yet with the bar now moving up to 5 meters 75 centimeters he will enter this high it's also involved and he's in the 1st position at the moment the Brazilian Tiago browse the Silver who's had one clear and so far 5 majors and 65 centimeters these are brutal conditions for these probable to only 6 men remain in contention for the 3 medals Well I've got my. As anyone got to do you they. Were in a way I We're here for a while and Michael started we've got this these these this kind of archway that the athletes will you know when I got the 400 meter athletes coming out to a little bit of music you know actually introduction I think in terms of the tunnel here in the stadium but I think it's an innovation that we kind of sort of think it's good for the sport yes I think it is and they're trying to make more of a show of each of these finals and it certainly worked last night with the presence of you saying balls as we expected it to but here they come forward from a tunnel just to our right here just beyond the winning on and now take up their places behind their respective blocks with Allyson Felix in line number 4 and they're in town bill just for people listening on the console the television set we've seen David I mean he is a giant of a man this massive strong light and you couldn't have more of a chrome contrasts really with Allyson Felix in terms of us now she's tiny she's tiny she's you know when you think of sprinters you think muscular you think told rangy but she small portions probably got the biggest stride that you heard Sanya Richards Ross speak about that strike. We saw last night with the show Barry in the closing stage his stride left for sure sure sure. There's nothing you Richard Ross said Ronnie nexus of but the Allyson Felix who strike doesn't seem to change because that breaks your heart as the home straight you wait in for the city they just don't look like they're pretty good in a new way in a new way to think about the fatigue Now listen clearly she's fatigued she's learned she's learned to roll and stay relaxed is the key she's she's she's collected 20 championship medals this lady. Knows what she's doing and the experience I feel will be key this evening she's the person to run on to me is 200 meters forward to me which means she could win this in many different ways it just depends how she works with me. Level and a 1st attempt in this competition he has absolutely smashed by bit isn't set by the last championships he can play then that's the time of the European Championships he had 3 years that I've been my Costello that was the jump of the Olympic champion for all the trials of the saving imposed on these athletes by the adverse weather conditions so the best in the world has kept his head kept his composure and to the competition when the pressure was on at 5 meters and 75 centimeters and has bolted straight into the lead and Larry just a very quick word with you now about well because the coach as we've been talking about Malcolm on wheels and what a great coach years the number of little champions will champions but because he is is legendary in this state. Bob is one of the finest coaches we've ever produced in the us he can coach virtually any event and there's very few people can do that anymore but he's at his best with the sprinters and Allison is probably one of his finest projects besides his lovely wife Jackie Joyner Kersee But Allison I still believe has run her best I think she can run faster than and I hope to see around till she's at that crazy age of 36 we'll see how it goes because she's not by the coaching strictly jumpers either and I had to my detriment thinking about United States like a 3rd of the race this year. It's. So the line out here and Allyson Felix of the United States now her image appears on the screens and she gets a rule migration from the crowd here and still probably 2025000 maybe more in here and they will soon be captivated by the conclusion of the men's probable competition but here 48 seconds or so. Between these athletes and limpid glory and Allyson Felix starts as a warm favorite but for all their cares in this disagreeing over the years the United States have won only 2 gold medals Will Felix make it number 3 here this evening world champion 3 times over 200 meters gold medalist at London 2012 over half a lap as well and now up to 400 meters the reigning world champion the full line up all goes back of Ukrainian one lip are near Ground 0 the European champion is in Lane number 2 Phillies Francis of the United States is in 3 then it's really extraordinary Elaine number 4 now 30 years of age one of the most elegant one of the most watchable athletes in the world flows over the track Jackson has drawn immediately to her outside in Lane number 5 and it's not attach a Hastings of the United States in lane 6 normally likes to go off very quickly over the 1st 250 meters as the athletes are called forward to their blocks Shaunie Miller of the Bahamas World Championships silver medalist behind Allyson Felix in a number 7 just 22 years of age and Stephanie MacPherson of Jamaica the Commonwealth Games champion in Glasgow 2 years ago is drawn on the outside in Lane number 8 as the athlete settle into their blocks for this the last final on the 4th evening of competition here is the women's 400 meters with Allyson Felix of the United States the warm favorite in line for. On the way they go then just to our right hand side around the bottom bend and Allyson Felix has on her outside Surekha Jackson who run a lifetime best in the semifinals to get to the final here as expected as they reached the halfway point at the back straight so Natasha Hastings is going up very strongly but so too has shown a mirror and they are now delivering the challenge to Allyson Felix who is responding as they reach 200 meters now and this is going to be a fascinating last 200 meters on to the top end and surely Miller is going very strongly now as Allyson Felix tries to coast guard as they come into the home straight that is Miller from his wide berth remember weight by Niekerk won the gold in the men's event yesterday firmly number 8 it's Miller is 7 still waiting with 50 minutes to go for the next try to curves. Next there side by side near enough staff to start over the line as she broken the barrier the timing barrier on the line 49.51 seconds. In unison surely Miller and Allyson Felix and everybody now looking up at the screen a great drama here that is going to Shorty Miller who are you going to put for 4 seconds from Felix in the silver medal position one of the big big shocks of Rio 26th and surely Mira at the age of 22 has taken go for the Bahamas and lower the colors of the favorite person Felix in the silver medal position with bronze to Surekha church of Jamaica What a run from an outside line again from Surely Bella Well it's very few world leaders that would come into the Olympic Games that you wouldn't have down his favorite show and I Miller was one of them and everyone thought it was Allyson Felix is to lose and that's exactly what happened she did not I don't think she gave shown a miller enough respect because shown a minute. She went off she had Natasha Hastings. Breathing down our neck and she ran her own race Allyson Felix was about 3 meters down attuned to me tense she was about to meet is down with $100.00 metres to go and it was just too much to close back that beautiful fluid style of Allyson Felix is just started to tie up and show now a 1000000 literally Frewer self at the line to be the next American as been experimenting champion after The Great to the Darling back in Athens 2004 a young 22 year old is now the Olympic champion it was almost like Allyson Felix took a brief Ok she put a lot in the over that 1st 2 to me as far as she got to be to to be a box you almost breathe a really large scale pushing his weight into a top al this home straight safe. But that gap that gap was just too big and she can't communicate the straight and try to close it down you can see she's tried to stay relaxed and she was getting Closer closer closer and all the time the Arctic would say through the Avs the eggs the lactic was soaring through bush or they somehow. Thought she didn't die but the life she car street I see. The world I think through her sister but you know what when you stand up you look at the screen and you see that noble want to he says because you believe you can I mean let me go battle dangling in front of you thank you thank you thank you the Cobol Michael. Brown the silver goes to card majors and 75 centimeters in the men's polo competition that moves him now into poor position but remember only 6 out major remain in the competition still every chance of winning the 1st medal for the host nation here in the Olympic Stadium and showed him a. Light weight but in the last year the work challenges in the 400 meter this still lying around here is absolutely exhausted What a performance from the behavior then Larry let me just bring you in here so did Allyson Felix get a tactics wrong hate that you know what run the race she should have done or was that all just about show de Mello I think it's about Shania Millar Lance problem and her coach told me back in April to watch what she was going to do this year he was very very proud of her man's doesn't exaggerate about exactly the coach's story Bowie as you know as well Shawnee ran almost a perfect race a perfect race against Alison and made Allison run Shawnees race which is the difference and what is so interesting we've had the men's 401 from like you know I and the women School 100 make this one from 1000. That's amazing to me but Wade would have won whatever lane if you don't put a sack on his back up sorry he was determined to do it this is I love seeing the competition between different countries and they're going to be going crazy in the Bahamas right now they all the success I don't think I've ever seen a women's 4 to me to final where the rule laid out they are all flat on their backs every one of them could I was actually just stood up when she finished and. Everyone else take I do the I mean show name elect cannot comprehend what she's just done she says laid out a lot of the other interesting thing here was the built in that we delayed for 20 minutes or so because the right and I just wonder if that sort of emotional intensity that uncertainty has had an effect on the athletes and it's not the quickest time you might expect them to go a little bit quicker. Championships do a lot of things as you recall Jonathan at different times and I talked to Maurice terrain yesterday and I asked him what it was like in 2004 when he won the bronze medal but 80000 screaming freaks in the stadium and he said he. For him you got to stay very focused I think Allison was focused but she may have underestimated Shani she just the difference between 1st and 2nd and as we know those are very close Larry thank you very much indeed Darren Allison Mike we do have to go now to say the polls will still go but this sort of extra special heat of 110 meter hurdles all those will be updated on the Web site has been a white knight here in Rio But we've seen David Rudisha defend his 800 meter lympics title and surely win a dramatic women's 400 tomorrow night's hall it will be Lauren you and Laura Weightman in the women's 1500 meter spinal and live coverage from Rio starts on bar but tomorrow with Mark Chapman at 1 o'clock now it's time to say good night to Rio a good morning to shop Jonathan thank you very much and thank you so much to the Rio team for just a marvelous night and I don't know if you can put away your do is your pillows and your teddy bears no and I had for a moment it's awfully difficult I think there are people listening here who are probably still as well off to that extraordinary breast taking finish in the women's 400 and a little bit of trivia for you about David Rudisha David he sure was coached until last year by a former geography teacher from county court named call McConnell who decided to go as a missionary to Kenya and see what he could do and his inspiration he told the Financial Times was the B.B.C.'s coverage of the Montreal and Pixar I hope Johnson is getting the hope that inspires you a lot even greater heights as the 5 Live coverage of Rio continues been absolutely splendid thank you so very much. And we'll begin tonight with concerns over next month's Paralympics in Rio The b.b.c. Has actually learned that as many as 50 countries may have to cancel plan. To compete at the Paralympics in Rio next month because millions of pounds and travel grants just haven't been paid more than $6000000.00 pounds was supposed to been handed over to the International Paralympic Committee last month saw the funds may have been diverted to deal with some last minute crises in Rio like sorting out problems with the green water and the diving pool this could prevent thousands of athletes from getting just the little bit of money that they need to pay their travel expenses and compete and we begin tonight with a report from our sports editor Dan Roy and in Rio de Janeiro the International Paralympic Committee is becoming increasingly anxious about their flagship events next month mounting economic difficulties mean that Rio 2016 organizers are more than 2 weeks late now in paying travel grants amounting to around 6000000 pounds to participating nations I've been told that as many as 50 smaller countries may have to pull their athletes out of the Paralympics if the money does not materialise soon Rio 2016 funds have been stretched after being diverted to address various problems during the Olympics and it's likely cuts will have to be made to various elements of disability sports biggest event. Well earlier I spoke to Craig Spence of the International Paralympic Committee and he told me how much money they're still waiting on well every country that participates in the Paralympic Games and there's around $165.00 of them we expect in Rio They all receive grants which effectively covers the travel tickets for all the athletes and some support personnel to attend and participate in the games so where missing around $7500000.00 u.s. Dollars that should have been paid 2 weeks ago to these countries. And without these grants some of the countries just simply won't be able to travel to participate in the Paralympic Games which is a huge disappointment to is. Asking for the organizing committee to pay this money as soon as they can so yes exactly who writes the checks. The checks are done by the Rio 2016 organizing committee who were formed 7 years ago to organize the Olympic and Paralympic Games so these traveled around cities is not something that somebody cropped up on them at the last moment they've known they pay these grants from day one and suddenly they've not paid them on time and a lot of our countries especially in Africa or in Asia some of the smaller national Paralympic committees they are extremely reliance on these grounds so much so that they will will not block that flight tickets to Rio until these grants are received now the Paralympic Games starts in 23 days time so you can understand why we want these grounds pain immediately to the countries so they can get themselves to Brazil and participate in what is the pinnacle of of politics Paul Well of course and we all know how complicated it is to book last minute travel and for all these people booking visas as well it's a really complicated thing yeah most of these countries have their visas already because that's part of the accreditation for all the participate. In nations but for the smaller countries who are waiting for the grants before they buy their tickets clearly the later you booked the more expensive the tickets will be and were quite fearful a number the smaller countries might not be able to make the Paralympic Games this year and if the grants are not paid then we fear that as many as one in 3 countries may may be in jeopardy of not sending the games and that be an absolute disaster far as especially when you consider just how how good the London to install car Limpy games were 4 years ago I was going to ask you Can you compare that for us because if you've lost a 3rd of the countries that were in London that could change the nature of the competition it certainly will and they'll be a detriment to all the athletes who are there because to win a Paralympic gold you want to beat the best of the best and that means competing against all the other countries and it be an absolute tragedy if the numbers of countries can participate because to grants haven't been paid by the organizing committee now the organizing committee has assured us that they think they've got the finances now and that they will pay these grants by the end of the month but if they do pay them by the end of the month they're still going to be one month plates and that's not good enough because there's a few other issues that the organizing committee has at the moment in terms of finances and we're having to make cuts to the Paralympic Games across the board and that's not we want not what we want because the Paralympic Games is the is the biggest event that we are going to it takes place every 4 years and in Beijing in 2008 in London when I 12 it was absolutely fantastic and we're seeing already for Tokyo 2020 how committed the organizing committee is there to the Paralympic Games and it's just a shame that we're not seeing that the moment with the ria What about the money itself I mean $7.00 and a half $1000000.00 Where is it has it been walled off for the Paralympics is it possible that is going on on something else. The Olympic Games themselves yeah I mean it's a question I think only the Rio 2016 organizing committee can and so they they know their budgets better than Hopefully anyone else and they will only be able to. So where this money's disappeared from like I said like I said from from day one the organizing committee has known that it's how to pay these tribal grants but you know you there's been some issues in the Olympics such as the athlete accommodation and the green water in the diving pole so it wouldn't surprise as if some of the money has been spent there we need this money back because we 165 countries to attend the Rio 216 Paralympic Games and do organizers based on your experience of London do organizers expect that part of this will be made up from ticket sales. Well the majority of money is usually paid by sponsorship money that we are going to use in committee is brought in because the Paralympic Games tickets in Rio They they start around $10.00 reales which is 2 pounds 50 so the amount of money they're going to make on city sales for the Paralympic Games this year is not going to be sufficient to pay for the travel grants but they've known all along whether they needed to fund this morning and it's a shame that here we are 23 days from the Games and now it's not happening. Well it let's hope that that's only a temporary situation can I also ask you about exclusion of Russia from the Palin pick games I wonder why Russia's been excluded from the the Paralympics when it wasn't excluded from the Olympics as well the i.o.c. Is responsible to make in the decision regarding the Olympic Games and the i.p.c.c. Who I were far as responsible for the decision in the Paralympic Games now following the publication of the McLaren report we did we did a lot of we did a lot of the research with Professor McLaren and we found evidence of a state of the state sponsored doping program. That he uncovered in his report also covered Paralympic sport in Russia now our decision to to to suspend the membership of the National Paralympic committee of Russia is not based on individual athletes cheating the system it's the state sponsored system that cheats in the athletes here and we feel that we need to draw a line in the sand and say look it does clearly government interference here that we've got evidence not only of samples from the Moscow laboratory that were positive tests disappearing and then been marked negative but we also have evidence that from the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games. 19 of the 21 samples we've sent for further reexamination 18 of the 21 samples that we sent for further examination have been tampered with. As evidence of the ball so so there is ever. Instead it is a state sponsored open system the exits to Paralympic sport and we feel that we need to show that we want a doping free and Vironment in Paralympics or so. But the Court of Arbitration for Sport could still rule against you and if that happens you're just going to have to tolerate and admit Russia anyway well throughout this entire process we've tried to stick to the letter of the law and the reason why we've executed Russia at the moment is because we believe that they have an inability to fulfill our membership obligations which is a rule of the Paralympic movement now is Cas decides that isn't the correct decision by us and by all means we will respect the Court of Arbitration for Sport they are the letter of the law within the sporting movement and that decision is final so we were spec that decision whatever it is when it's published next Monday . Craig Spence from the International Paralympic Committee being tough on Russia must wait and see what happens with that ruling at the weekend but now having said everybody was taking their duties home with them here's my Costello and they're still busy in the Olympic Stadium well 5 men are very busy at the moment Rob because they're still involved in the final of the men's pole vaulter competition was suspended for around half an hour earlier this evening because of heavy rain here making conditions on safety and the world number one the defending Olympic champion Renault 11 and they are France has just gone Clear 5 meters and 93 centimeters Haley's the competition but it's great drama here because the 22 year old Brazilian Tiago browse the silver is the next to bolt here to see if he can stay in the competition and there is still a huge crowd in the stadium waiting here and we're closing in on half past 11 leaving local time here waiting for Tiago bronze to silver to make his 1st attempt 5 meters and 93 centimeters and possibly move into medal contention in this discipline and what would be Brazil's 1st medal here in the Olympic stadium he's just taken his pole from the rock now he's gone clear earlier this evening at 5 meters 655 meters 75 and 5 meters 85 but now if he should clear this height at the age of 225 meters or 93 centimeters would be the best clearance of his anti a career one of the brightest prospects just 22 years of age and now he raises the pole skywards starts his wrong way now towards the pole vault caution the crowd will give us the indication of whether a 6 a jar files are on there is a groan from the crowd he just clips it on the way down with a spate 2 more attempts for Tiago browser silver but no level on either defending champion from France is safely clear right up 5 meters 93 centimeters and the gold medal is looking good for him at the moment. Mike there we have it well impending disappointment it sounds as if for Brazil but we'll be sure to bring you the full results of the men's pole vault. Let's turn back to. Another a memory of the Olympics and them tally great Thompson among Britain's most successful Paralympians of all time having won a total of 16 Paralympic medals so does she think this funding crisis is down to lack of commitment to the Paralympic movement on the part of the organizing committee in Rio or something else the commitments being here when they had a policy 5 years to go to the start of rape or Olympics and had a 150000 people who came out to support the woods of being right but I think as we've got close to the games as budgets have been pushed it's been a real struggle and you know a lot of the work they've tied to do it quite short notice is meant that building the chub it was only opened you know a few days before the start the Olympics that's just put more and more pressure and the reality is if if you look at games as 2 separate entities which London didn't it was very much you know equal treatment. You are going to start struggling. For the athletes at the moment you know that they just keep the head on the training really hard they they have to let all this was over the birthing for everyone else you know after an amazing Paralympics London was it's were in Rio It's not going to step up to another level. Damed have a great Thomson Well talking about this Paralympics cash crisis one of the countries that could be affected this Ghana. West African nation has a small Paralympic Committee and says it's already struggled financially to support the athletes who will compete in this year's Rio Paralympic Games qualifiers I spoke to the president of the National Paralympic committee of Ghana Cornelius Jacques Kofi and he told me that Ghana had been told to expect about 7000 euros from the reorganizes doesn't like very much but I asked him what the Empire would be if the money just fails to materialise so. Why. Become militarily. It might not be. But at least it will give us a platform for which a little hard on will make. Is it a case of if you don't get the money you can't send the athletes not really but it might come to help because there is quite a lot of. Precedent and that is not just appearing. Before you get to that comes to add on to higher floors of get into. So are you are you having to think of other things or yelling to work pretty hard just now yes because it's it's it's it's now and I love to think about other plans of getting that. Feels. Of a solid to see our best we can but it's a tough order Tell us about the people that you hope to send their going to athletes who are coming to the politics so far we have in play our cleats power lifter a vibrant trust not a cyclist Allan when they're not high vampire you see these are the 3 actors we come in with. They have coaches and so we look at a lot of $37.00. 7 and 8 countries. Giles Nar is the best known of them and he came to London 20 trials to the Paralympics in London. What's the attitude been in Ghana to disabled athletes always been quite friendly. A good athlete he was in all of countries Congo improve on the Swedes. Is it in the us trying to train to was a real so we look a lot of very good show but generally disable sporting gonna speak in a pickle we normally use to go with wheelchair races as this governor agree with retail is acceptable we are going with all that disapproves so it's quite interesting and something that is bringing our the people also into the fold big change are you do you think they've changed the way that people in Ghana look at Paralympians people who go to the power limpid. Yes sleeps it seems it's something that it's the psyche of life some people those who go slowly is that which we feel we should be isolated but it's quite good because before very. It's not. Even the country thinks about some quite some time now that country is my towards. The games as well and so it is just look at the scene with us we looked at the Olympic Games the regular Olympic Games. And that was the head of Goddess Paralympic Committee row over to the pole vault nowhere myself I have some big news wrestling Mike yes and Chaucer Tiago Tiago ring around the Olympic Stadium because the Brazilian at just 22 has cleared 5 meters and 93 centimeters and that means he's vaulted into the silver medal position behind red eye level any affronts to defending Olympic champion from London 2012 and so a terrific atmosphere here in the stadium as we now head towards midnight here but nobody is in danger of going home here because they won just one can Tiago press the Silver Age and claim that gold medal here at the moment he's in contention for Brazil's 1st medal in the stadium silver could it possibly be gold. You know we're not going away we're not going to but then a Dyson indeed and it's just off the posse. On smartphones and tablets this is b.b.c. 5 Live we see news comes from Charlotte Bombala team g.b. Her taking insulin peak gold medal tally to 16.

Like the bass coach however I could never do this without him he stuck by me like I said 3 times when I was ready to just not do any more and just that we both knew how to me and for him to be there is just amazing I know that I'm glad I can do it for him as well as for me at the fight on the track this evening David Rudisha has retained his head under meters title and Shawnee Miller of the Bahamas fell over the line to just defeat Allyson Felix of the USA to become the 400 meters champion elsewhere Great Britain as women are through the semifinal of the hockey after 3 wrong win or Spain and Jack Green of qualified for the phone to metres hurdles semifinals and Bahrain's roof has won the women's 3000 meter steeple chase in the 2nd quickest time in history the Irish boxer and defending a lightweight champion Katie Taylor went out of the quarter final stage Team G.B.'s Muhammad Ali was also beaten and away from Rio Antonio Conti has his 1st Premier League victory as the Chelsea manager the Blues beat West Ham 2 wanted Stamford Bridge with goals from at and has out and Diego Costa and contest says it was a good start. Delighted local before. You saw a lot of good things we know that we can improve we must improve the display years to show the right attitude and the next Premier League game is Manchester United look for their 2nd victory of the season when they play what food on Friday at least 5. Lympics stations. Say it is a. Silly city states and city and should seek to search for. Tourists. Shaaban all the action so far from Rio 26 days using the b.b.c. On player radio as Obama did you happen to only be produced by you sign balls Rio 20615 live across the b.b.c. Across the u.k. This is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live. Tonight with Rob Shaab Rio 2 and just can't tell themselves away from this Paul thing here's John and Edward So Jonathan. I tell you Well it's amazing atmosphere and had no place because of the Brazilian invoked the silver Thiago brother the silver at the moment he's in 2nd place behind the writing a limp dick champion or no Lebanon they live in and they are now attempting 5 meters and 98 by Costello and he has now to rule the question past Apollo not to us because he's already done about 5 meters and 90 I said to me 10 is pretty clearance party defending Olympic champion level any Democrat here sportingly chairing this man I know they are in the presence of poaching greatness here and. Cross the Silver is going to have to produce a momentous performance already he's produced the best of his knife he's going to have to go even higher now to climb the gold medal. Count Yes Mike is on the lid pick a record. So I guess the Brazilian if he's going to take base gold medal is going to have to produce something very very special and what you have to cite down in council is from his very 1st time in the bill and they looked different class yet he put the meal we see seems to be very risky he comes in late and sometimes he gets it wrong and normally if he goes out of the. East the 1st take when it comes to pople he's missed a call he. Calms him so he doesn't have to do a lot of jumps and normally if he if he gets his 1st 2 pin he wins the competition now the variable here is you've got the Brazilian fans all of the stadium they'd like migrated from this is that the side of the stage where we are near the finish line and a ball called to the ends where the Paul ball is and then make a tremendous amount of knowing this thing is the. Tiago if you will have to clear one more height there were no level in the because of it and they my style is clear all the way through with no bias and he knows that because he just put a stop on his past at this particular height and now the bar will be raised to 6 metres and 3 centimeters so this is a huge huge gamble for the silver but it's one he can afford to take He's come here at the age of $22.00 he's a better clearance than ever in his career before and whatever happens from here on he is guaranteed a silver medal and the host nation will win their 1st medal here in. The showpiece stadium of the games lympics stadium here in engine Yeah yeah you so right like he's got the. Lead nothing at this moment in time is his silver medal position if he was to clear 598 he stays in silver medal position he has to clear the high high so nothing to lose he's got the whole crowd around the home crowd of already taken into a single Best So at this moment in time he might as well you realise the energy that the crowd given him and he knows because as I say when the prisoner used to come into the stadium on one of their own or in the stadium they do create a tremendous about noise you know I would love to see this they do pull out the Presumably an afternoon before and for a medal I would love to see that we might assume that and retain the women's pole vault interest need to stop in the mirror is probably like a story that best chance of gold Yes and that. Comes on Friday evening here and possibly we'll get a repeat of what we're seeing here because coming into the competition you would have given fatty on a mirror a better chance than you would have given Giago browse the silver here but he settles in the silver medal position and that's the least that he will be going home with at the age of $22.00 drama that you just couldn't script a we've got a South American record from the Silver and the Olympic record from Red Eye level I mean and we should be bet. You're going to be a better overall yeah and live in a is out of the 1st attempt at 6 meters and 3 centimeters and I think it's going to take I just wonder whether to sit and watch what we have to remember as well that a context this competition is happening at the 2nd type of Oscars that came out I think 3 or 4 things jump there have been open competition was suspended and they brought them out again after what probably a half an hour 20 minute half an hour delay and they restarted the competition again well that's you know when I said we should be better we should be back. Now and settling down for the evening you know what. Show great composure by all of these Paul vaulters to have to have walled off got your mind right. Because again with the rain that we had the marks that they would have had for the road probably would have got washed away and it would have to go back out pulls themselves and almost start all over again and to think now we seem. To recall. With the disruption it just shows you these guys are at the top of the hour top fall and this could be a very very long hours and night by night by night this is turning into a very special Olympic athletics competition is it not we saw that world record from way time muka last night you signed Bolton scintillating ston in the men's 100 meters opened up on the 1st morning with the women's 10000 meters world record and another world record in this morning session in the women's hammer but now the focus of attention is already on leveling a new Olympic record. The Olympic champion and now his 1st attempt 6 meters in for a sentiment is it heads towards the pound now is out already caddies there are a big stage for just a brief moment and then it's down onto the cushion so 1st time failure now for Renault level and they and all of a sudden they are dreaming of gold 40 Argo Braz to silver it might be a wild dream but they dreaming a dream only sign and there is a positive around this crowd now because they have seen it right now level in a great Frenchman the Olympic champion and now the Olympic record holder. For the 1st time in this competition and now it's 22 year old here I'll go browse the silver with the whole crowd behind him here every one of them will be reaching out to lift a velvet is 22 this would be Levon centimeters higher than he has ever met in his life before he's just checking on his mark now he holds the pole down was on to the track composing himself here what a moment here as a youngster coming into athletics he could never have dreamt that he would be going football at the age of 22 in front of his home crowd here. He just sets himself now the crowd we can see them virtually all of them standing now they cannot bear to sit down and I want to lift a man over the pa he now raises the power about his head very soon he'll be on his way will he be only why to a limping history he raises the pole sky was now leans back States into the runway and now heads towards the crowd knows the power plant sitting to the slow pace of our way he loses momentum and that's the 1st time and that to me looks just. As the Silver isn't going to anything better than a silver medal you know I think about us. They write like a son I just think is that so the no it's not so about was anything that happened but Baby No 6000000. Go through the world record will be 6 be 60 you know we've got a lot on the way. So it is a wild 3 ball who would have thought he would be in this position tonight where he has the live pics silver medal I'm sure when he got here this evening yes he would have been focused and yes he would have thought. I could get that maybe to the top 6 ball is fire it is fire it now will be in the pickle but all of this is why we love being an athletics is needed. The full night is hard pulls far we've been in such a dark place for the last year and it just seemed to get a dog a dog and it's been great in the picture started and it's been great that we've been able not to disclose drugs or anything else but action and action has been fantastic I suppose the usual the negative points and like it's just a shadowy that in terms of of the European over the is this is happening right the way through the noise that won't have quite the same impact that it would have done had it been within a European Time Zone and also had this finished half an hour or so ago and you take away the suspension of competition because of writing that amount of pain and even bigger crowd here those who stayed on to watch the combination of the track finals but level in a is now about to make his 2nd attempt 6 metres and 3 centimeters he's already cleared a site they say he's in and credit to the crowd here as well it's a response they are clapping in unison having been also do so by Reverend Run I live in a in unison with his strides as he makes his rhythmic run now 2 worlds they take all caution plans to Paul now without tools about a sort of sport that it's very very simply these elbows on the wind down and that's a 2nd. Time failure for an eye level and a so just a squeak we give a chance Mikey so that silver is so high over the pa he just the 1st side he just called it all the way down it not like it is going to stay up and he did it this side I guess the height the clearance he had put in is just a little bit too close to the bar was used by me but the whole boys you know what. They suspend it after the trauma and in some ways I'm surprised he went there with boys I just thought bout was Tiago and said Look see how you think by it and then I'm going to go to the well of the world record because that's the sort of pull me looks into night yes I'm surprised he hasn't done that and I think he might well after this attempt by Tiago brows the silver if this is a failure for the silver I think you might like to still have one last thing to bring in his I bumped into a guy quite a lot of long battle patently knows this event very well he just signed up a lot of the athletes of them were getting space in the coaches for strikes that you shoot the power only in terms of getting the ball back up and getting it to its right height they'd be very inefficient in the south this is a competition that's been delayed but also see that in terms of the missions of the officials it hasn't been done as well as it should be. Ok well and Tiago prized the silver with a 2nd to $10.00 to $6.00 majors and pray centimeters now with the way space and Special Olympic memory now he's out towards the pa The thank you to. The Syria we're now rouses the crowd once again and this is turned into a high drama game of poker because Reno leavening has passed out on his last attempt 6 metres and 3 centimeters and now the ball will go I believe to 6 metres in 5 possibly 6 metres and 6 centimeters because these processes means that they can see to be clear that he knows he still has to clear 6 metres in 5 which is right back where we would be right by what exactly what we know because he's donating that he will. Be in the big job is not only doing and we said we said look the Brazilian people the noise and the energy that they've been able to generate when they do turn up in the stadium and that is the See this is what I love about athletics and this is what I love about the Olympic Games anything is possible we seen it in Iran this evening in the 400 meters I'm always going to see again in the Paul Hall Well the par will be moved up to 6 meters and 8 centimeters and that is higher than 11 he has jumped at any stage so far they say he's an outdoors it's higher than his jumps and his and tired career what a Campbell if this plays off this mark him down as one of the old time great competitors 6 majors and said to me. It has read our level and he has one tent one a tent 6 meters and I sent him a just if he fails Brazil and this stadium will erupt you can imagine the whole country all the powers and no homes of Coke one attempt here between Tiago press the silver and Olympic glory the state is going to be able to be with this. Ball with you and good mates is but he's going to change his mindset to our Because I pity the way 1000000 people are. Yeah yeah what would possess and now the crowd he just did a pew inside. I don't know he did a phone down I don't really believe that he was I know better but yeah that was unfortunate and when he when he got on the thumbs down now there are sound cheers you had all the clothing help your daughter pulled and he said you could understand a price is the following is right show that Melo is a he knows this is an attempt that could define how he is remembered for the rest of his career the House the power now Star says Ron is this goal for France Coco for personal he's up to was the far right he can take them. Head out of the 75 to 6 majors and I say to me to have done things 622 year o.t. Are past the silver Dancing with the light down there at the far end of the stadium is to use a nit pick champion in the post presumably don't fly by you could see how the t.v. Would be he could feel these could feel the tension there was no way he would put a clip. It was like he had the whole the prism of the show. And. This is just buckle how many people have gone home from the stadium tonight believing he didn't have a chance how many people will be regretting that he had to take it for tonight. But I missed that one of the parties occasions in Brazilian sporting history at the humbling picks 22 year old Tiago prize the Silver has taken and I get to go gold medal here and nobody in the stadium tonight will ever get rid of their ticket stubs this is want to say I was there I was there the night Brazil celebrated the most unlikely of victories when the world number one the defending Olympic champion took it to him tied to Campbell to Campbell has failed and Drury has gone to personal and t. Arco press the silver 2 weeks saying so much sport we will talk about this night for ever bite by bite at the front at the stadium this choose football this will that be a star to call the Christ the Redeemer they've now got to see on a guy the Redeemer my it's going to be have you as a legend he will be discussed as just as we talk about Jessica and it's still on the face of the Olympic Games in London see Argo see Argo that chant will be with me for the rest of my life. He Jonathan sorry about that. But you know this is going to have a line this radio I'm on the maybe it's time for a night yeah I think so the and it's a you know it's good news for you because a 9 and a half hours Christine Taylor is I know the triple jump final I don't reckon anyone's going to be here because we're all night but this might be the 1st leg of a Brazilian double remember on Friday night fabby on him you are comes into this competition of the women's equivalent and she has according to the form of the season a better chance than Sylvia had coming in here the same thing as enjoy it stay Brazilian flag across his shoulders there's just an element of his reaction here that says a copulate what's going on. Don't anybody dead pinch me here because I don't want to wake up a believable a little bogus tale 5 like really big stadium broad We're enjoying that back at you insult but. Not insolvent but enjoying it nonetheless I think wherever we are we are yeah this wonderful enthusiasm think about the the group here and in the Olympic Stadium here it's it's barely minutes from midnight but they're not going to leave you are they they're just going to stand there and how do you. Think you're probably right. We celebrate same with chi premiums right now or else we're all remembering all night are you off buying it oh well I can hardly blame you I must be doing all sorts of things to be crying will be. This I can only imagine the emotion you'll be able to cut it with a knife. As well these are. The public of Cobol and try to support you don't there's not much money here and the stadiums have the be full and they shouldn't get the tickets to the kids in the fallacy that Brazilians you have to made. Noise in this night is he's a well deserved. And this boy where is he from Are You talk about a for Bella's him as he is he somebody who would be known to the people in the favelas just as the general uniting trying to figure this place is in a country that has a massive following as far as athletics is concerned but how he will have catapulted him self into Brazilian sporting history to measure against all of a heroes of the past including in football because he's done it at the home in pecans the 1st time the Olympic Games if instead used here in South America he's just gone past dot com If your position here were high about the finish line and still they pursue me in flag draped across the shoulders there are fewer spectators it is foreign because all the action took away took at. Place away to our left at the far end of the stadium but he's enjoying every moment of this as they will for a long long time here in Brazil they've been so many problems in the build up to these gangs and jury in the games most of them financially related but hey it's a night is a success that money cannot buy nobody in this country whenever they get what I've seen and heard here tonight and here is the level of commitment to the mood for all Brazil in 2014 to Italy it all to to be trained by the great gay people so that kind of tells you all you need to know. Well I'm told chaps that we've got Phil who is a Brazilian in the city I'm no Phil can you contain your excitement well just barely still tense a bit. It was a moment of great joy and redemption. As the whole stadium was quiet for a moment but you know it was absolutely incredible and. I'm so hard to catch my breath. For so many difficult things happening with something great to have one. Just happen to excite wonder. As our. Way to put it said excitement I wonder Congratulations on your new Olympic champion and had you heard of t.r. Gold before this competition.

On digital and online I'm Rod shock and we're up all night after a week of playing defense Donald Trump took a step back to the places advisors have been trying to get him to yesterday was what was billed as a strategy speech on foreign policy once again Mr Trump hammered out immigration to the USA promising that if he becomes president the United States will apply extreme vetting to potential immigrants weeding them out with an ideal logical test and he blame President Obama for the current splintered State of Iraq courting the so-called status of forces agreement arranged by the that then Iraqi President Nuri al Maliki and his predecessors President George w. Bush and a Trump he promised the ear of nation building will be and it. So in the presidential campaign 'd the candidates who aren't too far apart in Scranton Pennsylvania you find Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden who is making some very effective points on her behalf Meanwhile not world away and Youngstown Ohio was Donald Trump and Donald Trump was talking about the Iraq war specifically he was talking about the pullback of American troops from Iraq which in many people's books led to an upsurge in violence in Iraq and an increase in ungovernability Here's what Mr Trump had to say the failure to establish a new status of forces agreement in Iraq and the election driven timetable for withdrawal surrendered our gains in that country and led directly to the rise of ISIS without question. The Fair years in Iraq were compounded by Hillary Clinton's disaster total disaster in Libya. Well as some of us might remember the pullback in Iraq was actually negotiated between the Iraqi government at the time and George Bush and his and emissaries to Iraq so it has a longer antecedent than just President Obama's decision to pull the troops back in 2011 Be that as it may Vice President Joe Biden had a few things to say about Donald Trump when it came to blaming Barack Obama for being as Mr Trump said last week the co-founder of I so here's what the vice president of the United States had to say about the potential impact of these comments on Savage troops in Iraq if my son were still in Iraq. And I say to all those who were there. The threat to their life has gone up a couple clicks. It's gone up a couple clicks we saw what's happening in Turkey resummon Turkey accusing us of being part. Of the Cuba team. Ladies and gentlemen. Does he have any idea the adverse consequence he sounds like in his comments have on our allies our friends and the physical safety of our troops. Trump is already making our country less safe. Vice President Joe Biden in Scranton Pennsylvania which is the town where he grew up well here to talk us through the week are Tom Bevan editor of Real Clear Politics Hello Tom. Hi Ron Howard thank you well nice have you with us until the Gryphon former Republican strategist Hello Taylor Hello how are you a load jolly well thank you to let's let's start because I mean I'm I'm being unfair I mean was was Mr chump right when he when he put so much of the the blame for the situation 2011 on President Obama Well I think that the failure to reach a Status of Forces Agreement as Mr Trump said is is the reason that we pulled out the you know you mentioned Bush's process applaud the gander Bush yesterday did begin a process of drawdown but Bush was primarily leaving that 2011 decision to a successor I think if Bush. If you were to ask him and I'm sure someone as Bush would have agreed that we should have left troops in Iraq was in a very precarious. Peace said the time and that was dependent on u.s. Troops and by not we you know in the end the sectarian violence was able to take hold and you've got Isis and I think her truck makes a very good point a lot of people in the Republican foreign policy establishment have been making for some time and unfair to say the President Obama campaigned on bringing the troops out of Iraq didn't he Tom Certainly that was one of his one of his central messages rights was that. When he campaigned was that he was going to bring troops on the we were going to fight anymore quote dumb wars. But I think we're trying to we're trying to point hits home is is not just sad but also you know Barack Obama's There are a number of data points where you know Obama called ISIS the g.b. Team and really you know I think Republicans and critics of this administration say he hasn't taken that threat seriously enough and I think Trump has you know he's made headway in that case if you look at the polling data I mean he's he's ahead of or even with Hillary Clinton on on who can better handle the issue of terrorism around the globe and so he's peace trying to play one of his strengths and what certainly his campaign feels is is one of Hillary Clinton's weaknesses and it does come back rather doesn't it to the original claim which which got him into such hot water last week where he claimed that President Obama aided by Mrs Clinton was the cool fund of of I saw and I've got that clip here I think we might as well listen to it just in case anybody hasn't had it we unleashed a fury all over the Middle East and it was a terrible mistake and then Obama came in and normally you want to clean up he made a bigger mess out of it he made such a mess and then you had Hillary with Libya. So since. In fact. In many respects you know they honor President Obama ISIS is honoring President Obama he is the founder of ISIS He's the founder of ISIS. He's the founder. He did. And I would say the co-founder would be thrilled kids Hillary Clinton. Co-founder refuted Hillary was. Well that was the original claim as you can hear when I'm well enough with the crowd didn't go down that well though in the country I watch but Taylor a lot can happen in a week. How do you think the trump campaign has handled the reaction to that well I think the speech today in a lot of ways was a was an elaboration on that Trump is a guy that is not afraid of a little hyperbole and you heard it there perhaps uniquely among presidential candidates but the speech today addressed that more directly and addressed what he was referring to the many respects in which you can refer to Obama as the co-founder of ISIS that was perhaps in many people's views really overstating it but there but there is a core there that Obama's policies and Clinton's policies contributed to the rise of ISIS although you could you might say George Bush's policies had a little part to play too and he's never credited than in midst of some speeches Well Mr Trump's job is to run for the presidency and get people to vote for him not to defend George Bush. So I'm told how did the co-founder of Eisel thing really go do your ISIS thing go down in the end the country at large Well I mean it's classic Trump's right he takes he takes what is a what is an effective talking point for his campaign right and he goes over the top with it and then he refuses to apologize for it to moderate to clarify you know and then and then all the sudden the next day he says no I was I was being sarcastic and he says No I I wasn't being sarcastic. So he takes the heat overstates the case right and then he turns that mistake into a 3 day or 4 day story. Which is then we've seen this repeated over and over again with with Trump's campaign because of just the way he is in the way he operates and I think that's what has Republicans frustrated because he takes what is again a very effective point and it ends up being used against him for 3 or 4 days eating up all the news and the next thing you know he's being the one who's being vilified in the media for for you know the way he's conducted his campaign is he is he back on message I'll ask both but I'll ask you 1st Tom because. Some people said he just it just kept flying off of his his own. Idiosyncratic tangents last week is he back on message with the honest I don't know aisle Well he was for today Rod but you know this 24 hours so we'll see I mean it look I think this is part of the struggle and we saw this is a big front page story in the York Times about you know the conflict within Trump's campaign he's getting all this advice to to give teleprompter speeches and to stay on message and be disciplined and and he's he's you know kind of listen to that advice but but his gut is telling him Look I got this far by being my own person and doing it my own way and not listening to Pfizer so I'm going to stick with that and so there's a real split within the campaign and I think a split within Trump himself over how to proceed because I think part of the feels of the if he does become sort of a conventional candidate he will lose and of course you know the other half of his campaign is saying if you continue to do things the way you're doing it you're headed for a disastrous defeat. To me as he is this campaign losing control of him Well I think Trump's biggest challenge is the things that excite his base and excite the people that are attending his rallies like you just heard in that clip are the same things that are frightening moderate voters that he's going to need to win to win this election and tromp separating what he feels and the response he gets at the rallies from the reality of what the rest of the world is thinking has proven to be really challenging for him and it's for today as Tom said he's been on message if he can continue doing that he's got a very good shot at this election but I think that the tendency to allow the news cycle to spiral out of control into and put themselves and put himself in a dirtily in a defensive posture is his biggest challenge to being able to win this election as is being suggested tailor that he's running still a primary campaign that he hasn't made the transition to a general election campaign we has to reach out to a lot more uncommitted voters well in a lot of respects I think that's right Trump feels like that trump that won in the primaries the truck that's going to win in the general but in other respects you do hear some things he's been focusing a lot on l.g.b. To us recently in today's speech as well as in his convention speech. That's that's sort of to me a nod towards the middle for him but he's he seems to be continuing to be oriented towards making sure that his base stays energized and he's going to have to do that more to reach to the middle but the thing is is that Hillary Clinton is not very well liked by people who either people really don't want to vote for or they have a choice Trump can they can can can stay on message and improve his favor billeted ratings. Closer to parity with Hillary he's got a real shot at this election let's see if both of you can explain some of the pretty extraordinary and extreme poll numbers that were coming out over the end of last week because Tom And in one particular way of polling Hillary Clinton was ending up as as more than 80 percent electable whatever trump it was as it was it gave her an extraordinary advantage if the general election was was being held and I'm I'm not entirely clear how you can make that. Poll lead of a to 9 percent. Well I think you're speaking about you know one of the forecasters out there that you know has sort of fluctuated wildly from you know from over the past few weeks I mean you're right look the polls have have not been good for Doll not not nationally and not in some of these important battleground states that have come out. Just in the past week or so states that trump thought he was really going to that he needs to win in that he must make a play for Ohio Pennsylvania North Carolina Florida he's been losing ground there and the question is whether with you know with 80 days left in the campaign 80 odd days whether he's able to turn that around to it right this is a question of can trump make this about Hillary instead of about himself because you know in all the days since the convention Hillary's been playing off and troubles been effectively playing defense and if that trend continues this campaign is about his temperament and not about her you know her untrustworthiness which is her biggest weakness and journal lection and so we'll see what I mean certainly there's still time to turn around the debates are coming up so there is opportunity but I think Republicans are getting a little nervous and frantic because they feel like time is running short. Timo tell us about some of these polls particularly I think in Pennsylvania which is a battleground state that was tilting. And sadly among college educated people is definitely not a low of ask could be true of people who don't have a college education Well I think that Hillary Clinton with all voters has an advantage in Pennsylvania right now and I think this is part and parcel of the national trends we've been seeing in the polls you know what you're referring to before is the election forecast in 88 percent chance of her winning according to Nate Silver. And 53538 is the forecasting site but I think that generally all of these head to head match ups all these races in the end the individual battleground states have a lot to do with these national trends and have a lot to do with people not being quite ready to vote they really don't want to vote for Hillary but Trump's Karen I'm a little bit so there are so they're going with Hillary for right now those people are more loosely in Hillary's ensconced in Hillary's camp than I think a lot of people would would would assume just looking at the polls so is is a noun a sense Toman in the Hillary camp and I suppose that's a pretty broad camp of this point but taking anything for granted I look I think from from the people that I've talked to and the things that I've been reading and hearing. The Hillary campaign feels pretty good about where things stand I mean they feel pretty comfortable they managed to have a successful convention and really unified her base and part of the heart of this surge that she's had in these poll numbers come from Democrats becoming more comfortable with her and the party unifying behind her so I think I think the Clinton campaign feels pretty good like I said they've been able to play office which is which is always a good situation for a campaign I think there are still. You know I think there is still a little unsettled by the unpredictability of the electorate the Bankston anger that's out there the way that. Events can turn a campaign there's probably still a few twists and turns left in this one and so I don't think they're necessarily taking for granted but I think they feel pretty good about where they stand you know versus where they were a few weeks ago here which is a couple months left the election. And and do they owe that to some unforced errors if we're talking tennis The owe it to unforced errors by Donald Trump. I think it's a lot of I think that's true as the Republican on here that a lot of it's unforced errors by Trump but because it's Trump's unforced errors it's also within Trump's ability to correct some of those errors and I think that's reason for a little bit of nervousness now Trump certainly has far more work to do than Hillary does to win this election I think in many ways the Hillary camp is depending on him to continue making unforced errors if past is prologue but if he is able to transition to more of a general election message to stay on message for long periods of time then he has a good chance and there's one thing that we you mentioned earlier that I think it's interesting you mentioned education levels you know an educated white versus educated whites and the support for Trump among educated whites and actually a lot of that has less to do with education has to do with occupation and this is a really interesting dynamic in this race that's under played there's a lot of anger about globalization people who have lost their jobs from foreign competition from China and that kind of thing many of those people are people without college degrees because they're the ones that are working in manufacturing and that kind of thing you can see that in my own state of North Carolina where Trump's numbers are off the charts and areas of North Carolina that have large furniture manufacturers and textile manufacturers that have really been decimated by foreign competition that is really fueling a lot of trump support an interesting thing was that a lot of that is the same thing that was fueling Bernie Sanders support. And trying to to bind. Companies there. Tom the a lot of the talk was over the Republican leadership abandoning Trump and getting ready to announce off to Labor Day which is an alley September that they were going to focus on the Senate races and so on is that a bit of wishful thinking by editorial writers you know might not think Trump's week. Perhaps I mean look I think there is definite concern among Republicans now given the way that this race has been trending over the last few days that you saw Republicans in the Senate who are running for the Senate have by and large done a pretty good job of separating their campaign from Donald Trump and making it a localized race opposed to nationalize race. So when he was for example when Trump was tied in Pennsylvania Pat Toomey was up by 8 or 9 points but now the terms down 9 points in Pennsylvania Pat Toomey is basically even or even perhaps down a little bit in the latest polls you're seeing the same thing happen with Kelly Ayotte New Hampshire. And some of these other states and so I think there is real concern that if the thing doesn't turn around for Donald Trump that it will result in Republicans losing instead as well as I think you will see them focus on on trying to make sure that they are able to insulate those candidates particularly the incumbents from from any sort of adverse effects that if it gets gets obliterated at the presidential level. Now Trump has been attacking the media over the last couple of days nothing particularly new in that but the media has also been attacking him and looking at this Russian connection and in particular actually the Ukrainian connection with a young a covert the deposed president of Ukraine and Paul mana for it who used who works for Mr Trump who's Mr Trump's campaign manager and who used to run an account for Mr Yanik who've it was pretty scathing and detailed piece causing a lot of Ukrainian sources in the New York Times on Monday morning and I just I wonder Taylor how much that my play into people's estimation of Mr Trump or is this just a sideline that gets journalists very interested I think it's interesting to journalists it's interesting to pundits but staff just doesn't matter staff and what they do just don't matter that much to your run of the mill butter so I think the amount of impact that will have is sort of baked into the cake by people's The extent of people's knowledge of what trauma said about Vladimir Putin and that kind of thing and if they were making their voting decisions based on that they probably already made them I don't think it changed any new minds Tom I grew Taylor I mean I think this is a media you know driven sayings. Story line you know and what I think it's I mean it's interesting isn't it if his campaign manager has has strong ties to the post Titan Yes I mean I guess so I mean you know you have seen. That this kind of thing you do see people get hired to give assistance in and participate in for elections I mean the Obama folks did it and in the u.k. And other places maybe with not as unsavory a character but nevertheless some in some respects it's not that out of out of. The ordinary or the mainstream I just think going back to the don't trust relationship with the media I mean I do think Trump has what what serfdom on the primary is now causing him grief in the general because he he was able to to suck up all the media oxygen against all these candidates is this broad Republican field and none of them could get any traction because he dominated the news coverage and now he's he's dominating the news coverage but it's being used against him in a way that as we mentioned before he will say one line or 2 minds out of a out of a rally or a speech and that ends up making headlines and then again by his own doing that spirals into a 2 or 3 story and he's you know he ends up spinning his wheels and losing time but you know the media has certainly I think you know made it tougher on him in ways that you know that he's now beginning to chafe at and we see that in his reaction on online and certainly in some of these rallies in the way that he references the media. Table do you think the media's been too easy on Donald Trump you think it's only not. This that maybe this is just because I say some media would enjoy the chilly night was starting to wake up and get tough with them. Well I think part of it is being in a general election in a primary the medias are more distant from the general election the media is a lot less likely to put the kind of scrutiny on the comments. That you would in a general election now you know they're scrutinizing in terms of how he would actually react in the Oval Office rather than kind of where he's positioned relative to all the other Republican primary challengers I think Republicans always have a little bit of a tough time with the media I think Don Trump's having a very tough time with the media but a lot of that's what it's like well I declined to ask you to forecast anything that's completely pointless that day and. I would just look forward to the next time that we're all together talking about I think that Tom Bevan that is sort of Real Clear Politics thank you very much Tom and to telegraph and Republican strategist Taylor thank you very much to always a pleasure.

Has David Rudisha well understanding his place in history well in our fleet No Who is basking in the Gore success may not have won any Olympic medal at all but hasn't sadly broken any world records but simply competing in Rio Marta moment of triumph Ronnie a niece is a 25 year old refugee Olympic swimmer from the Syrian city of Aleppo inspired by the exploits of the super swimmer Michael Phelps and as up all eyes will are wells explains he's enjoyed a standing ovation. Yes we've spoken of this 1st ever refugee Olympic team and this is a 25 year old refugee from Aleppo in Syria Rami are nice to is one of the 10 who have been involved. He finished 6th place in a seat in the 100 meter freestyle this was his personal best but more exciting yet he received a standing ovation last Tuesday and he said I don't want to wake up from this dream he also swim the 100 meter butterfly but placed 40th by he's still proud part of the reason why he didn't fare as well as he wanted to even though he was slated to be on Syria's 2012 Olympic team is that he took about 5 years off from really competitive being competitive both in training and competition in swimming because he spent 4 years in Turkey. And you have mentioned he made his way to Belgium where he's been training for the past. Few months but still he was a great disadvantage. Can't take off that many years and he does say he wants to be like Michael Phelps the great American Olympic swimmer. But he says he's now focused on the 2021 picks in Tokyo and said he's learned a lot it was a great experience and she said he wants to be a role model for Syrian refugees he wants to tell them not to give up to keep going and he says that in 2020 though he wants to compete under the Syrian flag he wants to return to his country he said there is nothing near and dear to my heart than the homeland. Our wells while the American alum pick champions so Ryan Lochte to begin became the latest victim of street crime in Rio early on Sunday morning when he was robbed at gunpoint after attending a party locked he and 3 team mates to get taxi back to the Olympic Village but were forced out by a gang who pretended to be policemen and relieve them of money and valuables and this followed robberies of people from Portugal China Syria Russia and even an attempted mugging on the chief of security for the games outside the opening ceremony which ended with a bodyguard shooting and killing the assailant but why is the crime rate so high and has enough been done to protect people we talked to Dr Robert Maga as Brazil security expert with the real policy think tank the Ig or Apia Institute and I asked our to maga if we should be surprised by these events I mean the recent robbery of the medalists while unsettling isn't I mean President. Fortunately we've seen a number of cases like this involving. Police military police or civil police get up especially if they're dressed up as military or civil police. Ultimately take I'm suspecting tourists or even residents and fleece them on the side of the road we understand that they were doing not what they were supposed to do they'd taken a taxi when the best advice apparently was to take a new bar or to wait for an Olympics minivan to take them back to the village. Do they have themselves to blame. I mean unfortunately here in real although we've seen an improvement over the last 5 or 6 years generally in the reductions in violent crime and robbery unfortunately these kinds of events are all to come up and strew the people visiting Rio As with most major cities in Brazil and frankly a lot of America odds are some percussion including being very careful at night where you go not wearing valuables in the street not certainly not consulting your i Phone and in a crowded area downtown so I unfortunately I don't want to say there are blame because most certainly the victims ought not to be blaming the president of this but it is true that you've really got to take care night no matter where you are in the city when driving about. A plan by the Americans I've been told to stay off the Copacabana between 6 pm and 6 am is that over doing it. Well he did I mean basically violent crime and robbery and sef tend to be very concentrated in most cities so easily percent of the Homicide takes place in less than 2 percent of the street gutters as property crimes a bit more distributed so it's true that in areas that are heavily touristed like Copacabana Ipanema level all which of the Big Sur will heal parts of the Rio de Janeiro Unfortunately during big mega vents they are sites for crime and so you often see groups of young boys who will literally sort of storm an unsuspecting. Individual on the beach often in the middle of the daytime never mind at night and will rob them of everything they've got so unfortunately although crime tends to be more concentrated glory sort of marginal areas it's true that during these big events the tourists and unsuspecting individuals can be can be caught any time. Is is there nothing you can do and the reason I ask this because I've talked to a colleague who went for the World Cup 4 years ago and they took all the precautions they carried a fake wallet they didn't have the expensive watches in do anything flashy and they were still mugged it sounds as if there's almost nothing you can really do to prevent this kind of thing well I mean like I said the good news is the overall you know violent crime has come down for the vast majority of people living in in Rio de Janeiro and that's a good news story that hasn't been really caught in the headlines over the last couple of months because in fact there's been a spike in crime although still 50 percent less of what it was less than what it was 5 years ago and so I think for the most part people coming to visit will often experience situation that's not so much worse than than let's say most large cities and parts of North America and say Western Europe in the more exclusive parts of the city unfortunately there are still some areas where crime is prolific and those people who don't follow the usual precautions can be can be exposed to crime so I don't want to say that the city is is a war zone or that it's you know it's inevitable that you will get robbed but it is true that you know during these mega vans like the World Cup and the Olympics you tend to see a spike it's the sick criminal logical theory it's called Opportunity crime and so when you have more people present during daylight hours you tend to see a spike unfortunately in in these kinds of incidents and a comeback this sort of best practice again because Ryan Lochte he was with 3 teammates a lot of the team say that they all travel in groups they feel it gives them more security what else could they do. Well I mean you already mentioned one of them is when you're taking a cab on the street on the streets at night or even drink in the daytime only take those caps for which they have clear markings in their designated taxis or take a nuber since they do they do to have a bit more oversight over them the things you can do is you can tell people advance where you're going and obviously if you do put yourself in an unfortunate situation at least people you know will know that you're not where you're supposed to be when you arrive you don't tend to want to wear flashy clothes or flashy jewelry you know I often will me carry a small set of bills I won't carry my entire wallet when I travel around to minimize the types of things that you might lose or you reduce the likelihood that you would be selected as a target. You know and you try to stick to those main tourist to the areas that are content to be surrounded by like have a certain minimum level of public safety and security around them. But beyond that I mean unfortunately if you talk to many precautions need to have too much of a bunker mentality you're going to find yourself not enjoying any aspect of your visit so I think you know you have to take the reasonable precautions minimize yourself as a as a of overfull target but don't go so far as to really exclude yourself entirely from where you are so I think you're going to really miss the opportunities that places like Rio really provide. And that was say security expert Dr Robert Mugabe and no we're going to finish with something else entirely they are big they are brash and they are coming Our have quite possibly just left a set of money are you. Looking for them. But we could work with that. All. The moon was free you know you all got jokes not. For the film I was told by one. We did it he did our whole wants to study in the paranormal now they're sending over the city. Their people and our allies. I'll spend you're a brilliant engineer. Well I'm not going to ask how many you could identify or even particularly how many you've seen oh well that would really seem to be the point of this because the the summer movie blockbuster season is turning out to be a bit of a summer of duds far for Hollywood with just a couple of distinguished exceptions. Films like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles out of the shadows Independence Day resurgence I do even Ghostbusters have disappointed at the box office and we're joined by Lisa Johnson Mantell from Los Angeles Hello Lisa hello to you when there's really only for sale a blockbusters don't you think oh rather rather I of course I can I can I'm fortunate I think back to just about the last blockbuster Well at least I thought it was a blockbuster and that was Superman v Batman and I'm one of those people who walked out of seeing it and thought why did I go Why why was I sitting there for that last hour and a half what was it about. Oh I don't blame you at all I mean the whole thing forward for just really anti-climactic ending it was yeah that was that was a major problem and even though it did do well at the box office but poor reception for both critics and theatergoers really hurt that when it totally hurt the franchise and it franchises are one of our major problems I think we're all franchised out still has sort of laid an egg for a mole or successor film and in the same vein because this is no marvel is it this is this is d.c. Comics right this is d.c. As is the Suicide Squad which has come out since then and the Suicide Squad makes reference to the ending of Batman versus Superman so you know there's going to be more and they're all going to be intertwined in everything I think though that this summer is definitely a wake up call for the studios they're going to have to reconfigure when they're releasing things what they're releasing And basically what they're greenlighting you know Suicide Squad was supposed to be a witty edgy take on superhero movies has it not worked oh. Well you know it's really interesting the critics have not liked this at all but the thing ends really did I'm one of the few critics that liked it I liked the fact that it was lighter and brighter and basically more fun than Batman versus Superman. You know I'm not a big fan of the super dark and dreary drudging superhero movies so there will be of course there will be a 2nd. There will there will be a sequel to suicide squad but I think you're going to find that it's going to feature almost exclusively Harley Quinn and the Joker because everyone was sad they didn't see more of the Joker in that one. Right of course the Joker played by this wonderful method Direct who just gets his teeth into everything. Jared Leto's amazing and Academy Award winner he and he really is just magnetizing when he's on the screen in this film you really did want to see more. So I'm thinking thinking about some of the other things the there have been some distinguished successes and in the loss of the distinguished success of being for one studio Disney what's Disney got right the wrong Disney is so far ahead of all the other studios it has already made 2000000000 this year. You know it's hits of include Finding Dory in Captain America and the Jungle Book and zoo topia But let's not forget it has had a few flops but those hits of course make it able to to you know withstand those flops and among them was Alice Through the Looking Glass and the b f g The big friendly giant which I think was a real shame because I thought that was a very beautiful movie and I know I personally years before that John Carter and if you'd only bought Disney shares for John he's so happy right now. Isn't that good to her but I was there a missed opportunity. And but silver lining another of animated films done really well Secret Life of pets Yes and that's for universal which is owned by Comcast of course Secret Life of pets did really well. And that this year you know they their minions movie in the past it's from the same illumination which is the same animation company that does the minions would be so they should they didn't have a minions movie instead they did secret life and a sequel is already in the works so they can't leave a good thing alone. Oh well they're not completely out of ideas when it comes to par 7 Lisa thank you so much for being with us oh my absolute pleasure Lisa Johnson Mondello Los Angeles place film critic.
