00:00The 18 champion this year.
00:06Well, Jamaica's got their Clayton twins and the United States have got their Maxwell twins, haven't they?
00:11It's Mia here who won the American Championship on this track in 11.08.
00:18As she runs out tonight, she's a massive chance. She's been the fastest through the round.
00:21The only woman to have broken 11 seconds in the field.
00:25Jamaica's won the last four of these. Can they make it five consecutive with Douglas?
00:29Mariah Maxwell, the twin. A minute difference between the two of them at birth.
00:35I wonder what the difference might be tonight.
00:39Emmanuel, who really staked a claim, didn't she, in the heat?
00:44Pink Julian Alford, those colours in Paris.
00:47Saint Lucia. And then the second of the Germans, an Achille.
00:52She might be the first of the Germans. She goes in lane number nine.
01:00Big, big breath.
01:03Douglas came in as favourite.
01:06I think at the moment, it's Mia Maxwell and Douglas that are probably equal favourites in front of Mariah and
01:12Terralonga.
01:15There won't be much in it.
01:19Can they run inside a living?
01:25Only Tina Clayton's done it in a final of the world under-20s.
01:40Almost said.
01:41Go.
01:43Away. Douglas got out okay.
01:45Mia beat her out though.
01:47Duala's right there early.
01:48It's Mia in front.
01:49Douglas going up to her.
01:50Mia's holding her though at the moment.
01:52Mia just in front.
01:53Douglas comes and on.
01:54Mia's won it.
01:57Mia's been, Douglas, in an absolute thriller.
02:03So the twins keep on winning, whether Jamaican or you're an American.
02:07What a final it was.
02:09It was a showdown.
02:11An absolute showdown between the two favourites.
02:14And the 16-year-old, yep, the 16-year-old gets the bronze.
02:21Not one, Rob, but three stars here tonight in that final.
02:26That was a brilliant, brilliant race.
02:30Mia Maxwell thoroughly deserved that.
02:33Douglas was coming.
02:34She was closing.
02:35She showed her prowess and her strength over 200.
02:39But she couldn't quite get on level terms with Mia Maxwell,
02:43who just doesn't know how to lose here in Eugene.
02:47And Kelly Douala, the European under-20 champion.
02:51The European under-18 champion is the world under-20 bronze medalist
02:56in an event where she'll still be eligible to compete in the next edition in two years' time.
03:02Brilliant for Douala to pick up the bronze.
03:05Absolutely.
03:07Maxwell just got that edge on Douglas.
03:09Didn't she, Rosie, early?
03:10It was just the winning move.
03:12She was out of the blocks a bit quicker.
03:14She knows this track oh so well.
03:16She won the championship here.
03:17These are high school kids from Texas.
03:19And look at Bigfoot here, yeah.
03:21Well, we all feel like a chicken dinner right now, don't we?
03:24I'd love a chicken dinner.
03:25These are high school kids from Texas.
03:27She's a great triple jumper, by the way.
03:29What a family they are.
03:31Let's have another look.
03:32She just established a little break over Douglas early, didn't she?
03:37She really did.
03:38And I think that is where Douglas was defeated.
03:41Douglas came back really well, actually.
03:44And I've got to say, Douala Amido got out so, so well.
03:49And she didn't relinquish as quickly as I thought she would.
03:52It really took a lot for Mia Maxwell to get herself ahead.
03:56You can see here, she's still in the battle.
03:59Still there.
04:00And now Maxwell just starts to get a metre or so on.
04:03And if that really, but Mia Maxwell, virtually a flawless race.
04:08I'm sure our coach will go over at some point and say, hey, let's improve X, Y, Z.
04:11But for now, she is on top of the world.
04:14She forced, Rob, she forced Douglas into the lean position quite early.
04:19So Douglas started to lean quite early.
04:21She was so desperate to get up alongside of her.
04:23When we looked at that replay, you saw Douglas going for the line because Mia had that little half a
04:28stride up on her.
04:29Douglas, I think, has another chance in the 200.
04:33But tonight was destined to belong to Mia Maxwell.
04:36She had the crucial advantage.
04:37And it was just too much for Douglas' strength to bring her back to her on the line.
04:43It wasn't incredibly quick, but it was memorable.
04:46It absolutely was.
04:48Mia Maxwell over Shinoia Douglas and Kelly Adewala Edimo.
04:52One of the really great finals.
04:54A contest for the ages.
05:00Adewala Amido with some incredible scenes with the Italians as well.
05:05They are all over the moon for her.
05:08And her reaction was...
05:09Adewala Amido with some incredible scenes with the Italians as well.
05:09Adewala Amido with some incredible scenes with the Italians as well.
05:10Adewala Amido with some incredible scenes with the Italians as well.
