What happened in the 1500m?
|
Jessica Ennis took silver after failing to overhaul Tatyana Chernova's 133-point lead in the 800m in the defence of her world heptathlon title.
Ennis needed to finish at least nine seconds clear of the Russian in the final event to take gold. Despite leading for most the race and setting a personal best, Ennis finished less than a second ahead of her rival. Ennis had led the competition before throwing a disappointing 39.95m in the penultimate event - the javelin. "I came here to win gold. It started off poorly and I got it together but unfortunately the javelin was a big disaster," she told Channel 4. "If I had to do it anywhere, it's here because it's next year where I want gold. "I knew it would be very, very difficult. I was being realistic, but I had to give it everything and leave everything on the track and that's what I did. "The javelin let me down. I'll go away and work really hard at it and come back stronger next year." :( |
She's right though, at least it was this year and not next..
|
It's the right attitude she's got but unfortunately for her Tatyana Chernova is younger and is only going to get better too.

World Indoors: Britain's Yamile Aldama wins triple jump gold Britain's Yamile Aldama won gold at the age of 39 with a stunning performance in the triple jump at the World Indoor Championships in Istanbul. Aldama got everything right on her second jump to set a season's best of 14.82m and that was never threatened. Despite injuring herself on her third failed attempt, the closest anyone could get to her was 14.63m, which earned Olga Rypakova of Ukraine silver. Dwain Chambers will defend his 60m title at 1800 GMT. Shara Proctor earlier broke her own British record on the way to reaching Sunday's long jump final, recording a leap of 6.86m in the second round to beat her previous mark by six centimetres. Andrew Osagie qualified for the 800m final by finishing second in his semi-final, but Joe Thomas missed out. Robbie Grabarz cleared 2.29m to reach the high jump final, but it proved too much for team-mate Samson Oni. Britain's men's 4x400m relay team - Conrad Williams , Luke Lennon-Ford , Michael Bingham and Richard Buck - were the fastest qualifiers for their final, 0.02 seconds ahead of their United States rivals. Meanwhile, teenager Andy Pozzi won his 60m hurdles heat, while also progressing to the semi-finals were Asha Philip and Jodie Williams in the women's 60m. Proctor reached the world outdoor long jump final with her native Anguilla in 2009, before switching to represent Britain in November 2010. She has UK citizenship as Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory, and said: "Thank God I've qualified, that's a weight lifted off my shoulders. "I didn't expect to jump that far, I just expected to jump far enough to get into the final. "Now I just have to go out there and jump. Ideally I'd like to get a medal, jump a national record. You've got to reach for the stars." |
