well, what a moment forjake wightman!ew world champion. i just got a whiff of it in the last lap. i knew if i was there with 200 to go, i could put myself in a position to win it. i was just running for my life on the home straight. i never really gave up the confidence that i had the ability to be able to get to this point, so i'm just so glad i've been able to do what i dreamed of since i was a kid. and get this... commentating on the race inside the stadium was none other than his dad, who's also his coach. to commentate on your son winning a world title, i mean, how did you even go about doing that? so i've been doing his school sports day since he was about 11 because my wife's been his pe teacher. so we've just taken it to slightly bigger stadia, and slightly bigger crowds, and slightly bigger medals. it was surreal watching it because you're thinking, "i know that guy, he has a familiar look!" and britain's last 1500m world champion told me it was richly deserved. i couldn't be more happy for him. he is one of the
