00:00This will be the day.
00:01Shavindu Maha of Sri Lanka, twice a national champion.
00:05Then to Javani Terrell, Kingston College student,
00:10with a really good PB of 50.27 on the 19th of June.
00:15And Amari Brown on the inside.
00:18He'll still be a junior two years down the line,
00:22and he's run a 13.7510 hurdles.
00:28It should be a good race, this one.
00:30Brown, the youngster from Trinidad, in lane two.
00:33Terrell of Jamaica in three.
00:35Maha of Sri Lanka, four.
00:37Hava Slovakia, five.
00:38The brilliant Vana, hope I haven't cursed him saying that,
00:41in six for Czechia.
00:42Kumar India, seven.
00:44Ardezone of Italy in eight.
00:46Stojanov of Bulgaria in lane nine.
00:49This is heat four of eight.
00:51Only the top three guaranteed a place in the semis.
00:57Vana will be fourth from the outside.
01:02Set.
01:07Well, Vana was trying to put Michel Radha under a little bit of pressure
01:12two years ago in Banskabistritza,
01:14and he's gone sweeping past Kumar, the Indian.
01:19Really good running.
01:23Terrell of Jamaica going well.
01:27With the Sri Lankan, Maha desperately trying to hang on to him,
01:31but it's been a nice even run from Vana now on the left of picture
01:36with Terrell, the tall Jamaican, coming into the mix.
01:38The Sri Lankan now starting to tire a little bit,
01:40but still making a game effort of it here.
01:42He's got a shout at making it through in third,
01:44although he's got a battle with Ardezone of Italy on his hands.
01:49Terrell is in cruise control here.
01:51So too is Vana, who looks left and right,
01:53and look at the Trinidadian coming through for third.
01:55Wow, 51-02.
02:00Vana did his hard work early on.
02:03He switched off.
02:05Terrell also looked very relaxed.
02:07And the incredibly young, incredibly talented Amari Brown
02:11coming through for third with 51-50,
02:15denying Maha,
02:17despite the fact that the Sri Lankan two-time national champion
02:21has broken his PB and gone inside 52 seconds for the first time,
02:27and he's hanging on to a non-automatic spot at the moment.
02:29Good work from him.
02:32Most definitely.
02:33What a brilliant finish that was for Brown.
02:35He really, really rallied so hard.
02:39At that point of the race,
02:41it almost becomes involuntary what you have left in the legs.
02:44You can will them to do absolutely everything.
02:49And sometimes they...
