02:26I can't work out who's going to win this.
02:28I agree with everything you've said there.
02:30She's got so much experience.
02:32But don't sleep on Winfried Yavi of Bahrain as well.
02:36It's a fantastic solo 904 at the Arab Games closing in a 2.58.
02:40And that's what I kind of look for.
02:42You can do that on your own.
02:43That erratic pacing, that hard finish.
02:45That's what you need in the championship.
02:47Yes.
02:48Pereth Chemetai, the Olympic champion.
02:51Uganda's first female to claim gold in the Olympic Games.
02:55A big star.
02:57So too is Jacqueline Chemkoech.
02:59She's only represented Kenya twice,
03:01and she's won on both occasions.
03:02World Juniors in 21,
03:04Comm Games last year.
03:06Lomi Muleta,
03:08Africa Junior bronze a few years ago.
03:11Muzayani,
03:12ninth last year,
03:13massive improvement.
03:14Winnifred Yavi,
03:17fourth fastest in the world this year.
03:19She's sixth on the all-time list.
03:22Got a world junior bronze a few years ago.
03:25Olivia Gerth has won the European under-23s this year.
03:29Our other Kenyan is a world junior champion.
03:32Faith Cheritage.
03:33No teenager's ever won a medal.
03:34She too is only 19.
03:36Louise Geiger's taken a step up in class.
03:38She's on the 9-10 territory.
03:40Chaudhary is the Asian champion.
03:43Miss Matt Schoemsek has been running really well this year.
03:46She was sixth in the Tokyo final.
03:48What about LMU?
03:50Second in Doha,
03:52one Florence,
03:53only 18.
03:54She's very, very quick,
03:56and no one's talking about her.
03:58If her nerve holds,
03:59she could run really, really well.
04:01Courtney Wayman,
04:02representing the United States.
04:04No Emma Coburn in this final,
04:06former champion for the first time in a decade.
04:08Beatrice Chipkoec,
04:10the world champion in Doha.
04:14A few tough seasons since then.
04:17She's run her best time for four years this year.
04:19She's down to low 9.04.
04:21So I wonder if she'll have to run quicker.
04:23Wendy Megan,
04:24eighth two years ago.
04:27As a teenager,
04:28and Alice Pinot,
04:29European indoor silver.
04:30A couple of years ago,
04:32she's on the outside.
04:33We've got the Olympic champion,
04:35Commonwealth champion,
04:36European champion,
04:37and nine of the fastest ten women in the world this year.
04:40What a way
04:42for the last gold to be awarded
04:46on the individual program.
04:49Beatrice Chipkoec,
04:50the world record holder,
04:54with her best time in four years,
04:56going straight to the front on a night
04:58that has already brought gold for the Kenyans
05:01in the women's 800 meters.
05:08It's a steady pace,
05:09but how interesting, Hannah,
05:10that we've got a little group of four
05:12who've already got a few meters
05:15against the rest,
05:17although now they begin to sense
05:19that they need to close the gap.
05:20I thought it was Yavi,
05:21and she is the one in fifth,
05:23now attaching the rest of the group
05:25back to the leading four.
05:40You know,
05:41even though they need to close the gap
05:42here.
05:43Sink.
05:44Panther.
05:45The two in fifth,
05:46Lindsey.
05:47The two in fifth.
05:48He's not your one in fifth.
05:49The one.
05:50The one.
05:51The one.
05:52He's not his one.
05:53But,
05:54he's not your one.
05:55There's a really big part.
05:56He's not your last game.
05:57He's not your first game,
05:58but,
05:59he's not his first game.
06:01He knew you did.
06:02He's not your first game,
06:03but,
06:04he's not your first game.
06:05And he's not your fourth game.
06:06He's not your first game.
06:07Here,
06:08To this last individual final of an utterly gripping, enthralling, electrifying World Athletics Championships.
06:32You run out of superlatives when you talk about how good it's been in Budapest here.
06:36It's a balmy night, a sheen of sweat already forming on the foreheads of these athletes.
06:44And it's interesting that we've got the world record holder at the front.
06:50She's acting like a pacemaker here, it's not a savage pace, it's solid.
06:55She's staying out of trouble and by being at the front she has the best line of sight to the barriers.
07:00But this is very steady at the moment and watch for Alemu, she is such a good athlete.
07:05And at the tender age of 18, in talking about the Kenyans having this big battle, Alemu in second place has got nothing to lose and everything to gain in this race.
07:15And Alemu as well, she's been building her experience on the Diamond League circuit.
07:20She's gone to Doha, she's gone to Florence, gone to Lausanne, lots of top three finishes.
07:24And conversely, we've got the two World Junior Champions from Kenya.
07:28Yes, Jacqueline Chepkoech is building her experience ever so slightly, but I'd say Sembo Alemu of Ethiopia has been doing more so.
07:36She's been racing these women week in, week out.
07:38And she's sitting in third place at the moment, the best of the youngsters so far.
07:42Jacqueline Chepkoech, the fastest woman in the world this year, now just going over the barrier.
07:49That's an uncomfortably large gap, I think.
07:52She's in sixth place and needs to close this gap because Winifred Yavi has just come past the shoulder of one or two of the athletes.
08:03Recognising the danger here, Jacqueline Chepkoech, I wonder if she's got a problem.
08:09She's now closing up on Alemu, just talking about the woman on the extreme right of picture.
08:14One of the favourites for this title, the Commonwealth Champion.
08:17She has just about reattached herself to this group, but she needs to pay very, very close attention to what's going on at the front.
08:25I still feel like Chepkoech's hurdling is up to scratch today, what we'd normally see of her.
08:30You can see her just going over the water jump there, she hurdles it, and she's losing ground for me with almost every hurdle,
08:35and then having to battle to get herself back to the group.
08:38Conversely, Beatrice Chepkoech at the front is looking smooth, she's looking in control,
08:42she's got nobody to push and barge and worry about over the barriers.
08:46It was a great win in Lausanne for Beatrice Chepkoech, and she said she really concentrated on her tactics that night.
08:53It was 2.58, 6.06 when the pacemaker dropped out, and then she lifted her pace for a 3.01 final kilometre.
09:00And Chepkoech, she's got experience for days, they've passed four laps to go, and she's opening up a slight gap on the rest of the field.
09:07And I'm surprised to see the Ethiopians drifting off the back, they're going to have to work very hard to close this gap.
09:15Perif Chemetais in fourth, Yavi has now gone past Faith Cheritich, so we do have a Kenyan in third as well as Beatrice Chepkoech,
09:25but the fastest woman in the world this year at the moment, Jacqueline Chepkoech, is nowhere.
09:33Winifred Yavi is poised to strike here for McKennian, now represents Bahrain and has done so for a while.
09:40Perif Chemetais, that distinctive left flick of her legs as she goes over the water jump.
09:46But Beatrice Chepkoech is definitely trying to run the sting out of the rest of these athletes to ensure she doesn't get dragged into a sprint finish at the end.
09:56She certainly is, you look back at the rest of the field there, they're just getting gapped ever so slightly.
10:01Perif Chemetais drifting back into fourth place, Wanda Megan trying to close the gap up to the Olympic champion.
10:07But the first three are just starting to glide away ever so slightly, Yavi hasn't missed a step here.
10:13She's really stuck to her task, got back on the coattails here of Beatrice Chepkoech.
10:19We're nearing up on two kilometres, the first split was 2.58 for the opening kilometre.
10:24Beatrice Chepkoech has led the whole way. I think she has pushed on in this second K.
10:29It's so often slow when we're on the circuit when we lose the pacemaker.
10:32But if it's anything under six minutes and we're on for a sub-nine clocking, that is why this field has been blown apart.
10:38There it is, another 2.58 kilometre for Beatrice Chepkoech. She's doing all the running here.
10:44And we need to keep a close eye on Wanda Megan.
10:49She's desperately trying to close the gap on Perif Chemetais, who goes round there in fourth place.
10:56And Cheretic's running really well. The teenager in third place.
11:01Wanda Megan is trying to close the gap, but they're coming round now with two laps to go.
11:07There's Cheretic in third, world junior champion last year.
11:11No teenager's ever won a medal in this event.
11:13Perif Chemetais, the Olympic champion, is isolated at the moment.
11:17But Wanda Megan is beginning to close on the Ugandan, but surely she's left it too late to try and get a medal.
11:24This has been blistering from Beatrice Chepkoech. We watch Ger, she's the world under 23 champion this year.
11:32And she's been blown out the back by this relentless, searing pace.
11:37It may have looked easy from Beatrice Chepkoech, but little by little she's whittled them down.
11:42And this has been tough.
11:44Chepkoech hasn't had to chop her stride at all over these hurdles.
11:47And conversely, look, for me, Yavi has just tucked herself in behind Chepkoech.
11:52That's what you expect to see in an endurance race. It makes sense.
11:55But I think it's better to swing wide round the barriers and give yourself a better look at them.
12:01And Yavi, she's okay over that water jump. She chooses to hurdle it.
12:05She's not trying to sight it enough to put her foot on it.
12:08But when she's right behind Beatrice Chepkoech here, she's expending energy.
12:11She's stuttering. But these women are building momentum.
12:14It's going to be 450 meters to go at the front.
12:17Wanda Megan is definitely eyeing up the bronze.
12:21She's closing on Cheretic in third.
12:24They take the medal in the final of the women's 3000 steeplechase.
12:29After an utterly absorbing eight days of action, this is the last individual gold available.
12:35Winifred Yavi trying to pull away from the world record holder.
12:40And she's opening up a gap here. This is quick.
12:43Can Beatrice Chepkoech find something?
12:48She mustn't allow that gap to get any bigger.
12:52Coming right back to form. That's Cheretic in third.
12:55But Wanda Megan is closing. There's the Ethiopian just on the bottom right of picture.
12:59She's been winding it up lap after lap.
13:02And she's reeling in the Kenyan.
13:05It's going to be very, very tight for the bronze.
13:08But Winifred Yavi here. Penultimate barrier. Hurdles it. Nicely done.
13:14Looks over her shoulder. She's got the gap.
13:17Yavi. What a story this would be.
13:20One last barrier. And then she's on a pathway to gold.
13:25She's not far away from the championship record.
13:28It's the best performance in the world this year.
13:30Heartache of fourth in Doha. Fourth in Eugene.
13:33But it's all gold for Winifred Yavi tonight.
13:36A brilliant run. 8.54.
13:39Cepkoech takes the silver.
13:42And in the end, Faith Cheretic does hang on for the bronze.
13:47The first teenager ever to get on the podium.
13:50And she will have run very, very close to nine minutes.
13:54That was searingly fast in the end.
13:57Yavi looked like she could have gone even harder if Cepkoech had been closer.
14:02She's beaten the world record holder.
14:05And scorched onto the top ten of all time list.
14:10That was brilliant.
14:15Tactical brilliance there from Yavi.
14:16A question tucking in behind Cepkoech.
14:18But perhaps she was feeling comfortable.
14:20It didn't matter that she was stuttering into those barriers.
14:24She was content just to bide her time.
14:27It was a strong, strong move down the home straight.
14:30At the penultimate time before they took the belt.
14:33And from that point, Yavi just didn't really look back.
14:36Beatrice Cepkoech tried very hard to stay on terms with Yavi.
14:41But she couldn't manage it.
14:42And Faith Cheretic stuck to her task supremely well.
14:45A personal best for the youngster.
14:46And third place under real pressure.
14:48The other athletes were piling up behind her.
14:50Yavi looked absolutely delighted.
14:54That run puts her fourth on the all time list.
15:00With 8.54.29.
15:04Amazing from her.
15:05National records for the French woman.
15:08Fino in fifth.
15:09National record for Mismas Zermzek of Slovenia in sixth.
15:13Huge performances all the way down the field.
15:16And after missing out.
15:18Coming agonizingly close to a global podium twice.
15:21She tastes gold.
15:23And all credit to Beatrice Cepkoech.
15:25It's been a hard few seasons since she won that world title in Doha.
15:29She's back on the global podium.
15:31And there's absolutely no disgrace with an 8.58 silver.
15:35Brilliant by the Kenyan.
15:37Everything has gone to her.
15:38I think she's gone.
15:39She's gone.
15:40I know her.
15:41I know her.
15:42It's going to be a good time.
15:43But now she's still here.
15:44She's all the time.
15:45The National Guard.
15:46The National Guard.
