Doha, Qatar: Highlights Athletics: IAAF Diamond League

With the rowow Olympics three months away, the Diamond League is back.

If last year's series was anything to go by, this summer will be

superb. -- with the Rio Olympics.

Rutherford takes the win. The Jamaican at the very best.

The sensational piece of running. That is a huge effort.

Yes! That is big. One of the fastest 100 metre hurdle

races that we have ever seen. That is a very powerful statement

from Gatlin. A new British record for Proctor. Mo

Farah back in the Olympic Stadium and winning in the way that he does

best. Our first stop on the Diamond League

tour is Doha, the capital city of Qatar. An emerging financial City in

the Middle East, the venue for the 2019 championships and host city for

the World Cup football finals. The commentators are Stuart Storey and

Steve Cram. A good crowd.

They settle in to watch the 400m men.

Take it away the first time. A little stumble from lane three.

Starting slowly. Haroun is trying to get out. LaShawn has gone down

quickly. He is storming down the straight.

Haroun is trying to get past. They are trying to maintain this. Haroun

trying to keep this up. Merritt now with a two to three metre lead.

Strong in this part of the race. Merritt looking good. He gets the

win. Merritt, he threw down the gauntlet.

Usingle 200 metre speed we were talking about. Just coming 80m out,

it looked as though he could be run down. But they did not get close

enough to him around the top bend. A devastating first 200m by LaShawn

Merritt. Right off the should of the men there.

Between two and three he looked strong and all of a sudden, Haroun,

looking good, strong, powerful but he still came in third.

A good race. The confirmation of the results.

Camming up later, Olympic champion Aries Merritt continues his

astonishing comeback from his kidney transplant. A tough field in the

women's 800m with Adelle Tracey. And Christian Taylor started his 2015

Diamond League season with an 18 metre jump in Doha. Can he repeat

the feat? Hayley Doyle kicking off her season in the 400m hurdles. And

a top-class field in the men's high jump, including Derek Drouin and the

local hero, Barsham. Next up is the women's 100m, featuring Andras

Schiff. She has had a sensational last few years.

-- featuring Daphne Schippers. She has gold for the Netherlands! What a

win for Schippers. Daphne Schippers! The next event on the track is the

women's 100m. What about Dafne Schippers? The

first outdoor run. She has been performing well.

The world champion at 200m, and silver at 100. But there is Tori

Bowie. Next to Tarmoh of the United States.

No problem with the start. Not much in it.

Here comes Veronica Campbell-Brown. Tori Bowie and Dafne Schippers. Tori

Bowie gets it. Dafne Schippers is in second.

What a race that was. Wow! These early sprint races are going to

produce some fine competition. The conditions here are perfect. Tori

Bowie, what a run. Well, sensational. Dafne Schippers

is left a little bit. Tori Bowie was here alongside her. The two trying

to chase down. But look at them pulling away. What a strong finish

from Tori Bowie. You may thing that scuff scuff scuff may have a little

more. She is almost talking to herself

"pump, pump" look at the time it matches her personal best set in

Monaco a couple of years ago. There is the update on the women's

100 metre result. Three women under 11 seconds. A good

start to the season. This is how the Diamond League

points system works. 14 meetings with #16 different track and field

events for men and women in the season. Each event, whether it is

sprint, hurdles or shot put has seven rounds. The First, 10 points,

send, six points, third, four points and down.

The winner of the race takes home $40,000 and a sparkling diamond

trophy. Hogaan. That is just around the 65.

5. I think. That is Victor Hogan. He is a big fella. You walk past them,

they are very, very big. 6ft 8 or 6ft 9. Very powerful. Now, Hogan.

The third round taking him into the lead.

Milanov. This is his third round throw.

He hit that well. Leaving the throwing arm way behind. That a

little beyond the 65-metre line. Chasing the 65. 59 of victor Hogan.

He is twice the South African champion. 65. 47. He is in second

place. This is Stefanidi of Greece.

She's the one that is looking good. Again... Sails over that one. That

puts here into the lead. Stefanidi setting a new record.

Certainly getting the early advantage. It was looking a

difficult competition. Not sure why. There is a gentle breeze. The

conditions are pretty much perfect. The men's 1500m. A big field.

Ryan Gregson of Australia is back to form.

Vincient Kibet. Robert Kiptoo Biwott another Kenyan

champion. Silas Kiplagat.

There are the three big names. The men's 1500m. Oh, a fall there.

Gregson going down. I heard a gun going. He got off and carried on.

But the Australian taking a tumble right at the beginning there. He is

going to struggle. They will not slow down to wait for him. The

pacemakers, away they go. Kip rot is in great form. We have

been told that. He has been running a couple of 800m.

Tonight he really means business. The others will have to chase him

down. That little pack there, just watch

the time as they come around to go through the first 400m. 56 seconds

they are looking for. They certainly are.

Kiprot has won the race twice. In 2013 and 2014. A shame he did not

get the chance to defend his title in London in 2012. He had that

injury. But he is a World Championship performer. Three times

the Olympic champion and also back in Beijing in 2008. All of the

credentials you need. Tall, elegant. He really has set off.

Look at the lead. Now, Kiprot, if it was anyone else, you would think it

silly. But he is in such a good form.

Robert Kiptoo Biwott there leading the pack behind him. They approach

800m. It is quick. This could be a tad under 152.

That is a sturdy pace. Kiprop has latched on to the pace.

Really. He looks so, so easy as he goes around the bend.

This man is special. He has to push on now. The pacemaker

is starting to struggle. There he goes. If he waits too long, the

others will gather. Look how relaxed he is. He comes down to take the

bell. A whole gang behind him. he is. He comes down to take the

2.35 of the bell. This is going to be way under 3. 30,

surely. He has another look behind. He is still waiting for them. He has

not started to kick yet. He has dropped off the pace. But is still

20 metres ahead. Looking relaxed and looking good. Kiprop the best 1500

metres in the world. The others are starting to chase but

he is out on his own. He is starting to shorten the stride. But they are

coming quickly. Kiprop is in a lead of 12 metres. He

realises he is in danger. He needs something extra. He is looking

behind. It is Kiprop right to the line. He slowed down on the last

lap. That was an interesting race. Kiprop

went out hard and could not maintain it which was interesting. He was in

the .26 sheep. He had the pace to do it. Not the sort of race he likes to

run. -- 1.26 sheep. His stride did shorten as he came into the home

straight. The damage had been done. He was inside 3.3 zero. He ended up

with 3:32.15. He is such a good athlete. Elijah Manangoi just

holding off Kiplagat for the second spot.

That is really good from Sandi Morris. She gets better and better.

She has equalled Stefanidi. She is in second place because she has

already had one failure at that height. This is the culprit sure.

She decided to pass. She had two failures at 4.7 three. Look at that.

She has gone over at 4.7 eight. What a risk she took and it has paid off.

She has gone over at 4.7 eight. What That is the record for the Swiss

Piotr Malachowski coming in for the can

Piotr Malachowski coming in for the final round. The big man. Can he do

it? The world champion. He is twice world champion. He is a big

powerhouse. Look how fast tears. He gives that huge body behind that two

discus. That certainly is good to challenge the lead. 67.20 six. That

looks about the same day challenge the lead. 67.20 six. That

further. He certainly likes very powerful. That is much better. 68.0

three. This is the first big competition we have seen this

season. The setback can better hold on took

third place and it was a national record for Philip Milanov of

Belgium. Sandi Morris is in great form. World

indoor champion and silver-medallist. World Champion

finalist in Beijing last year. The next event on the track is the

women's 400-metre hurdles. Eilidh Doyle of Great Britain,

married Ryan Boyle in October last year.

Very important to get to that first hurdle first. Not much in it as they

get to the first hurdle. Cassandra Tate is the tall figure going well.

So is Wenda Nel of South Africa and also Eilidh Doyle. She is already up

on Kaliese Spencer. Spencer is not going well at all. The opening 300

metres is vital. Wenda Nel is going very well. She is third from the

outside. Here comes Doyle on the inside. Doing very nicely. She is

looking good, twice World Championship finals. Eilidh Doyle,

the European champion is way ahead at the moment and can she hold on?

It is a great performance from her. Superb run. She has sustained it.

55.5 four. -- 50 5.50 four. She was married last October. This

is her first competition since last September. She's from Perth in

Scotland and the world leading time. The rest are well down. What a

superb start to the Olympic year for Eilidh Doyle. Meghan Beesley in re

seven started well. At 200 metres, you could see that she had gone well

through the first 200. This is the point where Eilidh Doyle decides to

run strong. She does not always finish of a

run strong. She does not always like. She is now thinking, I can win

a diamond lead. This is a big win and it is a quick time. -- Diamond

league. This is a big win, big scalp. People who will be contending

at the Olympic Games. Her arm goes up and look at the concentration.

She is over it safely and all the way to the line. It tells you that

she is ready and prepared and is excited about what is to come this

year. The fastest time in the world. Spencer's season best. We had an

incredible triple jump competition for the women.

14.6 for the athlete from Kazakhstan. She is the Olympic

champion. People are beginning to find out about this 1.9 metre

athlete from Venice Wheeler. Yulimar Rojas. She's getting better all the

time. -- from Venezuela. Three national records and her death came

in the fifth round. 14.9 but it was windy in the fifth round. She still

gets the national record. She was in second place. What a response.

Catalina Ivar Guen had the gauntlet thrown down by the youngster. She

responded very well. Dash-mac one. The South Americans will be having a

party. She got out to 15 metals. Both offer big jumps well they go.

-- 15 metres. Caterine Ibarguen responding to the

presence. It is a new start for the event from Yulimar Rojas from Venice

Wheeler. She has the best jump in the world at the moment. --

Venezuela. I am sure this is more about you, as

the season progresses. Watch out for Yulimar Rojas.

Sandi Morris. That is big-time. That is a superb piece of vaulting. 4.83.

That is a very good performance. The season 's best was 4.81. That is the

world league and it equals the Diamond league record. Not a bad

performance by Sandi Morris from the USA. She is going very well. The

men's 3000 metres steeplechase. The athletes are ready to go. The Kenyan

contingent will always be difficult. Is it you can buy who is a

character, you have to watch him. He wants to win and Doha again. The

fourth time to do it. As the season progresses, Chem boy

has become such a start at home. Let us see whether he fancies the

pace and the nominal external player round.

He seems to thrive in the Diamond league environment but not in

He seems to thrive in the Diamond major championships. Ezekiel Kemboi

has not placed the same emphasis on the Diamond league despite the

previous wins. Certainly not last year. Not as much as Jarius Birech

has. You look at world performances, it starts here quite frankly. This

is where the best art. Already, they are strung out in this race. 28

hurdles and water jumps to the event.

She has had two failures at this hate Sony is to get it. It was

close. She had the national record at 4.76. Michael Bushell is not as

tall as some of the other Paul Walters on the runway.

That is the best distance in the world for Sandi

Morris this year. Erik Kynard in the high jump. He was

looking very good on that occasion. Very confident. Silver-medallist in

London in 2012. He has clear first-time right the way through.

Can Zhang also do it at this hate? He has proven to be a very good

competitor, Zhang. There's no question about that.

He is a bit of a show man. He enjoyed it at home last year. A

couple of jumps at 2.26 has cost him the equal first place with Erik

Kynard. Every year the Kenyan sign somebody new. This is John Kibet

Koech. He looked behind. The pacemaker has dropped away. Gone

Celsus Caputo is looking tired pacemaker has dropped away. Gone

the first time. They have gone through Feith -- 2000 metres at spot

on pace. The chase is now on. And Celsus Caputo with about a ten-metre

lead. Ezekiel Kemboi is struggling, a bad day at the office for him.

Much further back. Can Celsus Caputo needs to concentrate. He will come

under pressure from gyro speed edge. This piece has been hard. It has

been relentless. Will become close to what eight-man it is? I think we

are. Conseslus Kipruto, twice medallist.

He has not been able to set the pace here at all. Unless something

happens with one lap to go now. He will have to do something, to

bring something special to the last lap here.

When you are taking these barriers, it is less than 400m. On the bell he

was right on seven mince. Can he pick it up? He does not take the

hurdles well at speed, not like Kemboi. But he is picking it up.

Only 11 men have gone under eight minutes in the 3,000 steeple chase.

Can Kipruto produce something special here. Jairus Kipchoge Birech

is working hard. John Kibet Koech coming into pressure behind after

having committed himself. He may not hang on to third. Another stutter

into the Water Jump. That was better for him. He has to find something. I

think he has lost a chance now with only ten seconds to go. He is

looking tired. One more barrier. It will be outside of eight minutes.

But a good, strong performance. Jairus Kipchoge Birech, very tired

in second place. Can I Kipruto looked confident from

the start. He took control early on. Off he set. He looks good. But he

doesn't hurdle well. It is a side step, really. But still a competent

performance by him. What a start for him.

Conseslus Kipruto in first. Jairus Kipchoge Birech second.

Kibiwott third. Marco Fassinotti, his second

attempt. It took him two to get over 2. 26. This is the 2. 2.29.

Yes! Marco Fassinotti, then. Putting a little bit of pressure on some of

the others. The second time clearance for the

Italian. Robert Grabarz now. What can he do,

Robbie? One failure thus far. One of three men to get Bronze Medals in

the London Olympics. Oh, yes, well done sir. A silver

medallist in the world indoors. So looking forward to getting to the

outdoor season. He is in perfect condition. Leans in. Gets the arch,

throws the legs. That's a very, very good clearance.

Christian Taylor spent most of 2015 in a battle with Picaldo in the

men's triple jump. Both going over 18 metres in what was dubbed the

greatest triple jump ever. But Taylor came out on top of the World

Championships, where he was eight centimetres short of the world

record. Picardo is not here this year but

can Taylor once again break the magical 18 metres barrier? Christian

Taylor. 16. 63 in round one.

Not vintage Taylor. That will be good enough though to get him into

the lead. Reaching for the board a little bit

there. He was well off it. Behind it. One or two adjustments for him.

The wind has a nice breeze on their backs. He's been here before. He

knows what it is like. He has spoken about it being a great place to

triple jump. Do har has so many good

performances. And Derek Drouin. The world champion

last game. An Olympic Games Bronze Medallist in London. Oh, yes. That

looked good. Not the quickest approach. But effective. He stays on

the ground a long time and applies the force.

The season's best, 2. 29. Oh, it's dropped off the bar, Barshim just

flicked it with 9 heels. Once again the shake of the head. The

disappointment. The men's 200m. There is a line up.

Tsakonas for Greece... Webb going off well.

Running on the outside Edward going strongly. Walter Dix going well. It

is Walter Dix and Webb. Then Martina coming through. But look at that for

Webb. A hoar house. It looks like it could

be Walter Dix for second place. That was strong. 19. 85. He promised and

delivered. A former NEC champion. Webb. Watch out for him. Look at

this. A powerful piece of running by Walter Dix as well. Good to see him

back. He has had a couple of difficult

years, Webbb. He has changed his training group. He is training with

the great Canadian talent. He said it has paid off. He was going to

quit. He had two horrible years. But it is finally coming together. The

talent is evident coming through. Tight in the end. But so strong. A

big personal best. Building on a good start. What he must do now is

to keep this moving through. There will be others coming out. This will

be a big event this year. The 200m. A lot of new sprinteders looking

capable. And Alonso Edward got the second

place. With Femi Ogunode taking the third.

The bar now is at 2.31. Erik Kynard is in the lead.

He is setting the target for the rest. A Silver Medallist in London.

Twice in the World Championship finals.

Very, very nice indeed. That's the outdoor world league. There have

been bigger jumps indoors. But now on the outdoor scene. Leans away.

Drives the knee. Gets a good arch and recovers the legs well clear.

Now, then, Guowei Zhang. Oh, he does fly in. Look at the

difference in the approach he uses. He is so quick. 2.31 he has got. He

takes off way away from the bar. So many contrasts in techniques and

styles in the event. He is very tall as well.

There it is, 2.31. Alexis Copello in second place. The

third round. A little wind behind them up to 1.2

metres per second. A little wind behind them up to 1.2

would like to get the 17 metre line. He may be just behind it. He loses a

little on the board. Certainly that looks better. That is

close to 17 metres there. 16. 98, so second place for Alexis

Copello. The first round for Viljoen.

She is from South Africa. Twice South African Bronze Medallist.

Before in 2011 winning the Commonwealth Games

Before in 2011 winning the occasions. Very powerful. Hits the

javelin hard. Now, then... That's about 65. Not

bad. This is pretty well the start of the season for all of the events.

There have been good performances beyond 65 metres.

In Russia, in Sochi, 67. 30 was the lead throw.

A good field here for the women's 800m.

Shelayna Oskan-Clarke, Chanelle Price and Molly Beckwith-Ludlow.

Adelle Tracey and Caster Semenya in lane six.

Eunice Jepkoech Sum will be chasing the pace pandemicer but so will

Caster Semenya. Database pace pandemicer.

I'm sure a lot of people watching will be waiting to see how fast

goes. Settling back a little bit

goes. wait to see who comes across. Eunice

Jepkoech Sum is in second place. Caster Semenya in fourth. They go

through the first 200 swiftly. Chanelle Price also making her way

up to the opening. The front four. The world indoor champion in 2014,

Chanelle Price. The world indoor champion in 2014,

Beckwith-Ludlow of the United States in the bright red and yellow. Molly

Beckwith-Ludlow of the United States Beckwith-Ludlow is a two times

Diamond League meeting winner. But this is a good race so far.

On the inside, Alemu is there. Ludlow, Caster Semenya jogging

there. Shelayna Oskan-Clarke a little

further back. Caster Semenya is waiting. Sitting

and watching. Kicking hard from the present.

Alemu has had a good indoor season. Caster Semenya is cruising down the

back straight. Trying to close it up a little bit. Lots of chances here.

Alemu striking from the front. Here comes Caster Semenya around the

outside. But it is the young Ethiopian with a two-metre

advantage. Caster Semenya looks like she is only doing enough. Does she

have extra? Caster Semenya changes gear and now moves away. It has been

a good performance from the young Ethiopian but look at Caster

Semenya. Accelerating. Well, it is always difficult to

assess how people are feeling in a race but that looked to me like

somebody who just did enough to win and had a lot more in the tank.

Watch out for much quicker races and times from Caster Semenya. It is a

world leading 1. 58. 1.58.26. And she made that look so easy.

And Alemu looked like she had done enough. But then Caster Semenya

cruised and put the pedal down. Alemu grimacing, under stress.

Wonderful stuff by Caster Semenya. A win for Caster Semenya. She is

certainly back and a massive threat at Rio.

A personal best for Alemu. Shelayna Oskan-Clarke in fifth place.

Robert Grabarz now. This is an important one. Two failures. So the

pressure is on. Now he has a third and a final

attempt at 2.31. How he would love to get into this,

or over this height to get into the competition.

Oh, no, no, no. He just lost it before approaching the bar. He

didn't carry the jump through. He has gone at 2.31.

Next up on the track the men's 110 metre hurdles. Aries Merritt was

diagnosed last year with a genetic kidney disorder in 2013. He returned

to competition but then told he needed a transplant. Delaying the

operation to compete in the World Championships, unbelievably he

managed to win a Bronze Medal. Now having received a kidney from his

sister, he is back on the track and aiming for Rio.

This year, I am competing as a whole human! If I stay the course

everything can work itself out. The men's 110 metre hurdles. There

is the line-up. All Bob McLeod is flying. Orlando

Ortega is doing well. 13.05. He did struggle towards the end. Once you

can run that fast, you have to be very careful to establish a rhythm

that you can manage. Those three strides between the hurdles, I did

it, he says, my goodness me. Hansle Parchment came through for second

from the seventh lane. And then David Oliver who I think was put off

by the sheer power of Omar McLeod over the first couple of hurdles. He

has to learn to manage the speed. He really hates the ninth hurdle very

heavily. It almost puts them off balance. He recovers very well.

13.05 with hitting the ninth hurdle, he has to run well under 13. His

coach says he can break the world record with a pace that he has. Just

if we can see this head-on. It is the ninth hurdle. You can see him

rock to the side and he manages to recover. That was ragged to give him

13.05. The world leader. It is Hansle Parchment in second place.

Jamaica are 1 and 2 with Spain in the third place in the form of

Orlando Ortega. Teddy Tamgho. What can he do? He's

not getting of the second phase. He is struggling. It is very ragged. He

is almost searching for the distance, reaching for the distance

master the second phase. He is not getting a good lift off. His final

phase is dreadful. When you come back from such a bad injury, I guess

there must be a confidence issue as well. There's only two more to go in

this third round. Christian Taylor knows he will go through. Bin Dong,

the world indoor champion. What can he do? That might be another red

flag. It is very close on the 70-metre line. Is it a white flag?

It cannot be closer. -- 17-metre. Anxious look back from the Chinese

athlete. He knows that the distance was there to keep them in the

competition. The official is having a very close look at that. He has

got it. It is a sigh of relief for Bin Dong. It is the season's best as

well. Christian Taylor is trying to find himself up. He is in good form.

He was chopping again. He does not look very smooth coming

He was looking for a slight improvement, not much 17.19.

Christian Taylor leading the competition after the Mack Brown. It

is the best distance in the world. He is going in the right direction.

It is not beneath fireworks in the high jump we had hoped for. 1 man

who has been in very good form is Erik Kynard of the USA. 2.33 is the

best in the world so far this year. He has been clean all the way

through until the switches his second attempt at 2.33. We have seen

other athletes falter. Zhang is the only person who can keep this

competition going. If he wants to win he will have to go higher.

He has to go over this, Zhang, and then go higher. He is an entertainer

but he could not produce his top form tonight. He is in second place.

The winner of the competition as the American who is an enjoying the

adulation on the top bend. He is entertaining the crowd. He is not

going any further and access 2.33. The best tonight. Zhang managed the

season's best. Marco Fassinotti got the third spot on count back. This

is the final track event of the evening, the women's 3000 metres. It

has been kept to the end to please the Ethiopian fans in the stands

heard in Doha. Eilish McColgan, is not taken part

in the steeplechase. She ran a qualifying time in America for the

5000 metres and has came straight here to Doha. She is looking to get

close to her best if not better that over 3000 metres.

She took the decision to concentrate on the flat distance events.

7.5 laps of the track. Looking for about 67 seconds per lap for an even

place. Mercy Cherono is back into good form. Almaz

place. Mercy Cherono is back into make sure that the

place. Mercy Cherono is back into Ayana was beaten was in Paris last

year. She may well have learned from that in this Diamond League season.

She does not have too many worries tonight and let us hope she is in

good shape. She had some issues with injury at the end of the season last

year. Sunette Viljoen is still leading the

competition. That was better from Lyu. Some improvement. It is not

being a vintage night. Conditions can be heavy here and not easy.

being a vintage night. Conditions easy for javelin throwing.

A big gap again has opened up. Almaz Ayana with two laps to go. She is

looking good. Gillette Burke had a look behind to see if

looking good. Gillette Burke had a coming with. Everyone is looking

tired. Almaz Ayana is starting to slow. Having gone with the perfect

pace and then has dropped to 65 seconds after going back to 68 on

that three. La four was 67.7. 65.9. She has pulled away. Ayana with 600

metres to go. She has to motor along. There best of 8.20 2. That is

under threat. Most of these women to make will be

well under 8.5. She is into the back straight for the penultimate time.

-- home straight. Mercy Cherono angelic Burka are clear in

-- home straight. Mercy Cherono and third. Anything around 65

seconds will be good. She has to pick it up. She is not as quick as

the likes of the Barber. Her strength should come into play.

She will want a personal best and to start of the season well. We're not

sure when she will make her rival but when they do meet, inevitably

there will be fireworks. Suggestions the two of them are not the best of

friends. They are in the same team together and are a formidable pair.

She is a formidable challenge for anybody. 200 metres to go. Gillette

Burka falling off Mercy Cherono in second spot. They are mild butt end

Ayana. -- Miles behind. The chance for a personal best kind of slip by.

The code on your feet. She might be just outside it. Ayana will start

with a big victory, a big win just outside hard personal best. That is

the quickest time in the world this year. She will go quicker. Mercy

Cherono with the good performance in second spot. It is hot and humid

here. Not always the best 8. Sebastian Coates looking on. Any

distance van must enjoy watching Almaz Ayana. -- distance van. Ayana

is class, she is a world champion and has got the pedigree. Our style

of running is always good to watch. She has got confidence. She knows

that pushing on is the best thing for her. It awarded her tonight.

Good start to the season for Mercy Cherono. And Eilish McColgan with a

personal best. 8.43 in 10th place. This is the final jump for Christian

Taylor. He is the last to jump. Olympic champion in 2012. We saw him

do so well in the Olympic Stadium in London.

That looks to be slightly ahead. Ahead of his marker. I think he has

gone further. He jumps with relaxation and the knowledge that he

has won the competition. The best in the world this year.

Alexis Copello is the third man. Kathryn Mitchell of Australia, World

Championship finalist. She knows she is going to reveal the Jimmy Hill.

The Australians have already selected the team. The Australian

finding something. The last couple of rounds have been poor. This is

not good enough to take the victory. It will secure her in second place.

Kathryn Mitchell. Season's best for Sunette Viljoen from South Africa.

Kathryn Mitchell in second. Some big performances in Doha as

there always is at the beginning of the Diamond League season,

especially in the sprints. The human condition is hell. No doubt about

the British reforms of the night, Scotland's famous, Eilidh Doyle was

1 of the best performances of the year. Winning on the Diamond big
