    "I thought Jo Pavey looked a bit tired. It was one race too much for her. We were saying at the start it was a big ask. To ask her to take on the 1,500m specialists in a 5,000m race was always going to be tough. We crossed our fingers that she might get a medal but it was always going to come down to the last 400m and the others had the pace."

It will be her first time on top of that rostrum and it is going to feel great."
