Hello and welcome back to Diamond League athletics. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
The fun and games of the Rio Olympics are over and now | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
the quest for gold turns into the quest for diamonds, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
as some of the world's top athletes come to Lausanne | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
for the Diamond League. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
A host of Olympic medallists on display. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:08 | |
COMMENTATOR: Thompson's gold! | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
A roar from Elaine Thompson! | 0:01:15 | 0:01:21 | |
The champion thumps his chest! | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Michelle Carter snatched the gold away. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:36 | |
It is Dalila Mohammed for the Gold Medal! | 0:01:36 | 0:01:42 | |
Omar Mcleod to the line and to the title ahead of Ortega! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
On the shores of Lake Geneva, Lausanne is very much | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
an Olympic City. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
It's the home of the headquarters of the International | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Olympic Committee, as well as the Olympic Museum | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
and Archives and the Court of Arbitration for Sport. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
The French-speaking Swiss city, with its medieval old town and 12th | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
century gothic cathedral, has a long sporting history and has | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
hosted a major athletics meet since 1977. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:20 | |
Your commentators for the action are Steve Cram and Tim Hutchins. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Time to go to the track in the women's 3000 metres, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
and what a line-up we have here. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
Genzebe Dibaba, the world champion, desperately disappointed | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
with her silver medal in Rio. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
She has the world record for this distance indoors. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
World record holder outdoors at 1500 metres. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:47 | |
She did take that silver medal over 5000 in Rio. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:58 | |
She beat Almaz Ayana into the bronze medal position in the 5000 metres, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:11 | |
although it has to be said that Ayana ran unnecessarily fast | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
in her 5,000-metre heat in Rio! | 0:03:16 | 0:03:23 | |
I thought she was almost going to set another world | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
record in that heat! | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
She ran 13.29 for the second 5,000 metres in that final | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
when she broke the record. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
She threw in a 65 second lap just before that. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
The pace had been quick anyway. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
She did something similar in the 5000 final. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
For me, it's really good to see that she could go with that and then | 0:03:55 | 0:04:03 | |
maintain a much better judged race in the final. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Helen Obiri, this might be her best event, the 5000 metres. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:13 | |
Helen Obiri finally starting to give chase to the pacemakers. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:19 | |
It was quick, first of all, and it didn't look like any | 0:04:19 | 0:04:29 | |
of the big names were interested. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
Shawn Barber, 5.47. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
Still early stages in the men's pole vault. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
An event which brought so much drama at the Olympic Games. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
As expected, the world champion well, well clear. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:55 | |
Back to this 3000. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Obiri has certainly picked it up. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:06 | |
The world cross-country champion, winning in China, last year. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
She's in sixth place and will finish no better than that. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
They come towards the bell this time and now Dibaba hears the bell | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
and takes the lead from Obiri. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Mercy Cherono in third place. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Stretching them out now. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Look at Obiri, trying to go with her. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:36 | |
A sense of deja vu here, with the events of Rio | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
in the 1500 final. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:47 | |
Dibaba has got the gap now, 200 metres to run. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
This is devastating from Genzebe Dibaba! | 0:05:49 | 0:05:54 | |
The family of Dibaba is so storeyed, and another chapter being written | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
on the Diamond League circuit in Lausanne. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
Still grimacing and still going hard. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:12 | |
Obiri beaten here by 20 metres, and under threat by Cherono. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:22 | |
That is a devastating finishing tempo from Genzebe Dibaba. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
Not leaving anything to chance. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Obiri tried hard, but ultimately the push she made from 1200 out | 0:06:28 | 0:06:35 | |
to one lap to go wasn't nearly enough. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
Dibaba with that 57 last lap. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
It's nice if you can run an 8.47 pace and then drop a 57 | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
and end up with 8.31. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
Most athletes run that kind of pace and just hope to lift it | 0:06:49 | 0:06:58 | |
a little bit at the end. | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
8:31.84, a new meeting record. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
The women's shot put, Christina Schwanitz ended up | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
in third place tonight. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Another who was bitterly disappointed with her | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
performance in Rio. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
She threw 19.03 in the final. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
A bit better here in the second round, managing to get it | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
out to 19.33. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:27 | |
It was this woman, Michelle Carter, who produced the performance | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
of her life to grab the gold medal, with a massive throw in the last | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
round in Rio, 23.63. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
A big personal best. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
She won the indoor gold in Portland. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:47 | |
That is her best Diamond League position of the year, second. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:54 | |
Once more to Valerie Adams. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
How she would swap all her Diamond League victories for that | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
Olympic gold. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
19.44 her best, although she was already leading before that. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:12 | |
She missed her chance to be one of the first three... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:18 | |
After the Olympic Games, there is always a hard situation | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
to come back up. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
I'm happy to win in front of my home crowd for me. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
It's great, I love this meeting. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
The men's 100 metres next on the track. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
The veteran Kim Collins goes in lane three. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:44 | |
Probably starting as favourite is Meite, from the Ivory Coast. | 0:08:54 | 0:09:01 | |
He has been under ten seconds for 13 seasons, | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
Asafa Powell. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
95 sub ten second runs. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
Can he add to that total again here, the Jamaican? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:16 | |
Kim Collins goes in three, third from the right. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
Joel Fearon in four. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Big step up, for the Briton. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Asafa Powell in six. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:30 | |
Third from the left. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
A good start from Asafa Powell, really good start from Meite | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
as well, in the orange shorts. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
Powell is going to get it! | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
By half a metre from Meite. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
9.97. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
It is sub-ten number 96 for Asafa Powell. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
Boy oh boy. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
Again and again he keeps churning them out, even though his only major | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
international title is a Commonwealth Games | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
victory in Melbourne, back in 2006. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:06 | |
He's got plenty of gold medals from the relay squad with his | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
Jamaican team-mates, remember. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:15 | |
Joel Fearon stepped up to the plate pretty well, third in 10.05. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:21 | |
There it is, 9.96 for Asafa Powell. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:30 | |
In the men's discus throw, Zoltan Kovago of Hungary was well | 0:10:34 | 0:10:43 | |
short of the medals in Rio but he beat them to the lower | 0:10:43 | 0:10:52 | |
places here tonight. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
His second-round effort was 64.52. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
Some consolation. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
Second place, by contrast, is a real success for the Austrian. | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
Taking second place in the final tonight, 64.84 not quite up to that | 0:11:00 | 0:11:06 | |
level but got him ahead of Curva Grande in the final throw. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
A rather disappointing competition tonight, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
without the Olympic champion, Christophe Harting. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
The Olympic champion was by far the best on the night, | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
Philip Milanov. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
His final round effort of 65.61. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
Robert Harting could not banish his Rio disappointment. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
Only one throw over 60 metres, and he had | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
to settle for fourth place. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
Parker, the Olympic champion back in 2012, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:48 | |
bronze-medallist in Rio. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Good speed, fabulous extension in that middle phase. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:57 | |
That is a great final phase into the sand, certainly | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
a lot better than her opener, Olga Rypakova. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:07 | |
Lyndsey Sharp of Great Britain. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
The pace will come from the outside lane. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:27 | |
Only Caster Semenya and Francine Niyonsaba have won | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
800-metre Diamond League races this year. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
Just waiting for the pacemakers, Niyonsaba's going to have to get | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
going to get herself across and into the lead. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:50 | |
Melissa Bishop just following Niyonsaba. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:58 | |
She may well be finally coming across, but she's meant to take | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
the lead and is actually struggling to get there. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:10 | |
She is struggling to run a 58 first lap here. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:17 | |
I must admit, I was surprised when the time was announced, | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
because I thought it was on the slower side. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:30 | |
It is almost spot-on, but it is on the conservative side | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
for so many of them. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
Melissa Bishop being forced wide by the pacemaker, | 0:13:35 | 0:13:41 | |
who just was asked to go at 600. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
She is just getting in the way. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:50 | |
Lynsey Sharp having to squeeze there as well. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:57 | |
Niyonsaba, 200 metres to go. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
1:28.65. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:10 | |
She's going to have to hold them off, here. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
Niyonsaba, the Olympic silver-medallist, kicking away. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
Niyonsaba is just about going to hang on. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
Lynsey Sharp in third, 1:57.8 the winning time. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
Well, a pretty straightforward race, really. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
Niyonsaba would have been the pre-race favourite. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
Only she and Caster Semenya have won Diamond League races this year. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
The top two in the world. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:56 | |
Lynsey Sharp judged her effort well and got a well-deserved third place. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
Niyonsaba was very strong. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
Putting a little bit of distance between herself and the others. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:12 | |
Lynsey Sharp finished quickly. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
Melissa Bishop looked a bit tired. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
She was in exactly the right position. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
But Francine Niyonsaba is easily the winner. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:27 | |
Caterine Ibarguen, the Olympic champion. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:33 | |
Much bigger than she looks. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:34 | |
Powerfully built. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
Five foot 11.5. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
Good speed, unbeatable combination | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
from the 32-year-old. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
14.70. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
That looked very similar indeed. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
You could hear the screech from her as the effort kicked | 0:15:53 | 0:15:59 | |
in halfway through. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:00 | |
14.76, extending her lead marginally. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
That turned out to be the winning jump from Caterine Ibarguen. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
Still good jumping from a Olga Rypakova are in second place. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:17 | |
First look at Renaud Lavillenie. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
He was beaten in Rio. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
He had the horrible experience of being booed by the crowd | 0:16:24 | 0:16:29 | |
during the competition and on the rostrum. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
That was probably one of the low points of the Olympic Games, | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
certainly in the athletics programme. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
Something, as I said, he will want to forget. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
It was not a knowledgeable crowd. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
They should have just been cheering da Silva, who won a medal. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:49 | |
The line-up for the women's 100 metre hurdles, and the top seven | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
in the world are from the USA. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
They generally dominate. | 0:16:53 | 0:17:03 | |
Harrison is the world record holder, in lane five. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:13 | |
No major title yet, only sixth in the US Olympic trials in Eugene | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
six weeks or so back. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
Missed out on Rio but broke the world record on the 22nd | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
of July in London. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
Jasmine Stellas in lane six. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:35 | |
Dawn Harper Nelson is the Beijing champion, | 0:17:36 | 0:17:41 | |
was that really eight years ago? | 0:17:41 | 0:17:46 | |
She has won here three times in 2012, 2013 and last year. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:54 | |
32 years old, the most senior in this race by four years. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
Still going well. | 0:17:58 | 0:17:59 | |
What can Harrison do? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
She won the Prefontaine Classic back in May, then the disastrous sixth | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
in the US Olympic trials. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
Then a world record in London a month or so back. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:15 | |
She goes in five, Simmons in two. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
Harrison in five in the middle. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:26 | |
Watch the clock, this will be another superfast time. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:35 | |
12.44, wins by two or two and a half metres, very close for second | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
and third on the near side. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:47 | |
12.42 for Harrison. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:56 | |
The disappointment of missing out on Rio will never be replaced | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
by winning in the Diamond League. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
It is probably not replaced by running the world record, | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
to be honest. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
But she still has plenty of opportunities ahead of her. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
For the time being, I can't see anybody getting close. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:18 | |
There it is, one, two, three for the USA. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
Megan Simmons started so well for Jamaica. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:26 | |
But she was in seventh place. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
I am in shape, I have been training hard for the last month. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
Watching the Olympics made me train harder. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
I'm excited. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:42 | |
That is nice. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
Not a great deal to spare from that one. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
Lots of men went out at the previous height. | 0:19:54 | 0:20:04 | |
But he has been the first to go clear at this height. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:12 | |
Sam Kendricks, the first attempt at 5.72 for the American. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:19 | |
He was the bronze-medallist in Rio. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:25 | |
Silver in Portland at the World Indoors. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
That do! | 0:20:27 | 0:20:34 | |
The makings of a great contest. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
Roberts of Poland clear that height at the third time of asking. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:44 | |
A good line-up against LaShawn Merritt. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:59 | |
Merritt has nothing to prove, but I think the likes | 0:21:00 | 0:21:08 | |
of Martyn Rooney and Makwala might. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:17 | |
You might argue that Maslak is not living up to his potential. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:25 | |
Steven Gardiner is tall, 20 years old. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:41 | |
Rooney has gone hard through the first 200 metres. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:47 | |
Merritt looks like he is just cruising this first 200! | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
Makwala leads them into the top bend. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
Merritt trying to go with them. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
Bonevacia is very close. | 0:21:56 | 0:22:01 | |
Merritt with the little bit of work to do. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:06 | |
Steven Gardiner in the middle, Merritt moves away in the end. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:12 | |
Merritt first, Steve Gardner second, Liemarvin Bonevacia yet takes third. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:18 | |
LaShawn Merritt just relied on his super strength. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:28 | |
He had some company coming into the home straight, | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
but you get the feeling he adjusted. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
All credit to LaShawn Merritt for being so strong. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
It is one of the strengths of his racing tactics or strategy, | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
as it is for James, well beaten in Rio to the silver medal. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:54 | |
A good win for him, his first Diamond League win since May. | 0:22:54 | 0:23:00 | |
LaShawn Merritt the winner, a good second place for Gardiner. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:09 | |
5.72 for the world record-holder, Lavillenie. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:17 | |
Now, there was daylight between the Frenchman and the bar. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:29 | |
But Lavillenie goes clear as 5.72. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:36 | |
First attempt at 5.84 Sam Kendricks. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
Barber is down and out, and we are down to three. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:54 | |
Oh yes! | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
Well clear, the American. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
Silver indoors in Portland, bronze in Rio. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
Who knows what is ahead of him? | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
Incidentally, Piotr Lisek has had one failure already. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:12 | |
So Sam Kendricks now holds the lead. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
STUDIO: Next up is the women's 100 metres, featuring Jamaica's Elaine | 0:24:16 | 0:24:21 | |
Thompson, the double Olympic sprint champion. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
She won the 100 metres and 200 metres in Rio, | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
just like the great man in Rio, her team-mate, Usain Bolt. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:34 | |
Can she emulate him again and dominate every | 0:24:34 | 0:24:35 | |
sprint race she enters? | 0:24:35 | 0:24:41 | |
COMMENTATOR: She is in lane four, and she is likely to give | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
the field a bit of bother. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
She is the Jamaican double champion. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
What a sprint double in Rio. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
A good line-up. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
She will be tested. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
Elaine Thompson in lane four, the Olympic champion at 100 metres | 0:24:58 | 0:25:05 | |
and 200 metres. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:06 | |
Won the double at the Jamaican Championships earlier in the summer. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:16 | |
I'm afraid half the field did not hear that. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
Jenna Prandini did. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
Goodness me! | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
Dear, oh dear. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:41 | |
They will have to reset and give them a decent break | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
after sprinting 100. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:51 | |
The crowd were cheering. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:52 | |
We can hear the false start gun on our headphones, | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
but it might not have been so audible out there. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
The reaction times came up, and not one of them appears | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
to have an illegal reaction time. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:01 | |
Jenna Prandini must be wondering, am I going nuts? | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
There was a second gun! | 0:26:03 | 0:26:08 | |
Nobody on the computer system has indicated | 0:26:08 | 0:26:13 | |
as having a false start time. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:14 | |
It will have to be rerun, there will have to be | 0:26:14 | 0:26:21 | |
a little bit of a wait. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:22 | |
Lavillenie has failed his first attempt at 5.80. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:29 | |
That was not close. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:37 | |
Kendricks went clear first time. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:38 | |
I am a little surprised that he has taken the second attempt. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
The next height is 5.86. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:44 | |
Even if he cleared those, all he would have done is isolate | 0:26:44 | 0:26:48 | |
himself in second place ahead of the second Pole. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
Now he has one attempt left. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:59 | |
It will simply keep him in second. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
Here is Bondarenko. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
Oh! | 0:27:03 | 0:27:07 | |
Third time. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
2.32. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
He passed the 2.29 after taking two attempts at 2.25. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
His third attempt at 2.32, and he is over. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:23 | |
Four men still in this. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
Lavillenie must be feeling that the big job is still undimmed. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:32 | |
Why do you use this effort when you fail three times? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:39 | |
So has Lavillenie. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:40 | |
It confirms the win for the American, Sam Kendricks, | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
after a fabulous Olympic games. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
The Americans have their tails up. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Kendricks, at 23, with Lavillenie pushing 30, not yet, | 0:27:49 | 0:27:57 | |
but pushing it, Kendricks might yet be the future of this discipline. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
Kendricks will pass at the next height, 5.86, and he will go 5.92, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
which would equal his personal best. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:09 | |
There is the card for Lavillenie. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:19 | |
Robbie Grabarz just gave it a little tickle adds 2.29. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:25 | |
First-time clearances so far, there is another. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:31 | |
Brilliant from Robbie Grabarz. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 | |
So disappointed with his fourth place in Rio. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:40 | |
But look at that, that is a really good clearance. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:45 | |
What a high jump competition we have got here! | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
We can go back to Kendricks. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:52 | |
This was a couple of minutes ago, by the American. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:55 | |
Kendricks' second attempt at 5.92. | 0:28:55 | 0:29:02 | |
Equals his own lifetime best and take the scalp | 0:29:02 | 0:29:10 | |
of Lavillenie, among others. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
Erik Kynard at 2.32. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:19 | |
Eighth in the World Championships last year, the American. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:25 | |
He was the silver-medallist in London 2012. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
Three attempts at 2.29, but went clear, and he starts | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
with a clean slate. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
2.32, nice! | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
His opponents have perfect cards, however, up to and including 2.29. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:49 | |
Kynard battling away as the heights get serious. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:53 | |
Full of confidence once more. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:57 | |
Grabarz has not had much rest at 2.35. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:04 | |
He is in joint first position. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:06 | |
He and Barshim have had first-time clearances at every height so far. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:12 | |
Grabarz has been in good form tonight. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:16 | |
First failure, though. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:26 | |
So, this is where experience and maturity kick in. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
They have to put that previous run out of their minds, | 0:30:28 | 0:30:32 | |
even if they can't get it fully out of their legs. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:39 | |
Olympic champion Elaine Thompson in four. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
Ta Lou in five. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:48 | |
Good start by Elaine Thompson. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:53 | |
Here goes Thompson now, this will be quick! | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
Watch the clock. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
10.79. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:02 | |
Wow, tore them apart in the second half. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:08 | |
At 50 metres, I reckon that is a lead of about a metre. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:15 | |
Certainly had that one by about three metres. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:22 | |
You can see why she is the Olympic 200-metre champion as well, | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
beating Dafne Schippers, the world champion at 200, in Rio. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:30 | |
12.78, for Elaine Thompson. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:37 | |
She's setting new standards at the moment. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:43 | |
She's 24, but she seems a bit younger here, Elaine Thompson. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
So good over 100 and 200. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:51 | |
She looks set to dominate for the foreseeable future. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:53 | |
Certainly if she is producing performances like that. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
There it is, 10.78, for Elaine Thompson, | 0:31:55 | 0:31:56 | |
the Olympic champion. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
Jenna Prandini coming through strongly for that second place. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
Veronica Campbell-Brown down in sixth. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:10 | |
To be a double Olympic champion is a wonderful feeling. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:16 | |
For me it's just a wonderful feeling. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:22 | |
The second attempt for Mutaz Essa Barshim. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:28 | |
Here he goes... | 0:32:32 | 0:32:33 | |
It stays... | 0:32:33 | 0:32:37 | |
No it doesn't! | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
Just for a second, it looked as though he had it. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
Arching his back, the back he has had so many problems with. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:50 | |
Looked as though he might get away with it, but no. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
Unlike Sam Kendricks in the poll fault, he's not lucky. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
Back to the track for one of the toughest events | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
in the sprinters's programme really, the 400 metre | 0:32:57 | 0:32:59 | |
hurdles for the ladies. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
Another athlete with so much to prove, having not even made | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
the final of the US Championships. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:09 | |
Dalilah Muhammad in ninth place in the Diamond Race, | 0:33:09 | 0:33:19 | |
but she has time to make up the points to catch | 0:33:19 | 0:33:25 | |
up with Doyle. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:31 | |
Sprunger and Tate in seven and eight. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
She has gone off very quickly, Sara Petersen. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:54 | |
Eilidh Doyle in three has got off very quickly indeed. | 0:33:54 | 0:34:00 | |
Petersen has got some work to do if she wants to keep | 0:34:00 | 0:34:10 | |
Dalilah Muhammad at bay around here. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:19 | |
The Olympic champion very much in control at the moment. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
Eilidh Doyle having a superb run in lane three. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:26 | |
Only the Olympic champion ahead of her at the moment. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:31 | |
Here comes Petersen, finishing strongly. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:34 | |
Eilidh Doyle in second place. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:39 | |
Another win for the Olympic champion, by four metres. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:42 | |
53.79, Doyle, Tate and Petersen. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
That is the order, one, two, three. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:49 | |
This young lady here, in 400-metre hurdling you bring | 0:34:49 | 0:34:59 | |
all those elements of decent track speed, good hurdling... | 0:34:59 | 0:35:06 | |
I don't think people really look at that ability | 0:35:06 | 0:35:09 | |
with her but she is always so strong on the last hurdle. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
For me anyway, the time that she missed with an injury | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
and things have just set her back a bit, but I think she has | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
the potential to go close to the world record. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
A fair bit to spare over the others here. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |
Eilidh Doyle, getting ahead of Sara Petersen. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
That will certainly please her. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:32 | |
For Eilidh Doyle, another very strong performance. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:36 | |
A great Diamond League season for her. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
But Dalilah Muhammad is definitely the number one in the world | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
and proving it yet again here. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:52 | |
How does that leave things in the Diamond Race? | 0:35:59 | 0:36:04 | |
Eilidh Doyle extends the gap between herself and Tate, | 0:36:04 | 0:36:08 | |
with Russell a way back in third place. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:13 | |
We said there were four men left in it and all four men failed twice. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
2.35, Robbie Grabarz. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:17 | |
Third attempt... | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
No! | 0:36:20 | 0:36:25 | |
He hasn't cleared 2.35 since 2012, that would have | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
been something tonight! | 0:36:28 | 0:36:33 | |
Nonetheless, at the moment he is still the joint leader. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:40 | |
Barshim is now perfect up to 2.32, is he going to join the other three? | 0:36:40 | 0:36:44 | |
Last chance, for the Olympic silver-medallist! | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
And it is gold tonight for Barshim, who takes the competition with that | 0:36:48 | 0:36:54 | |
last-gasp clearance. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:59 | |
It's easy to forget he is the second highest jumper in history, | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
with that 2.43 a couple of years ago in Brussels. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:11 | |
Confirmation of that result. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:12 | |
2.35 from Robbie Grabarz. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:15 | |
A good scalp from the Britain. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:22 | |
The men's 110 metre hurdles race is a mouthwatering rerun | 0:37:22 | 0:37:27 | |
of the Olympic final, with all three medallists | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
on the start line. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
While Omar Mcleod was winning Jamaica's first ever 110 metre | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
hurdles Olympic gold, it was also the first time | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
in history that the USA didn't finish on the rostrum. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:41 | |
No medals tonight, but David Oliver will be hoping to fly the flag | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
for the US in this one. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:50 | |
The line-up for the 110 hurdles. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:54 | |
Omar Mcleod, the Olympic champion. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
Orlando Ortega, the silver-medallist. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
Then the bronze-medallist, Dimitri Bascou. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:04 | |
The only event here, I think I'm right in saying, | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
where we have three medallists from the Olympics. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:15 | |
Certainly a mouthwatering prospect. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:16 | |
You add into that the former world champion, David Oliver. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:24 | |
He did not make the American team. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |
Martinot-Lagarde himself was close. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:31 | |
Plenty to look forward to here. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:34 | |
Mcleod in lane four, Ortega in five. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:39 | |
Cleanly away this time and Mcleod gets a very good start, | 0:38:46 | 0:38:51 | |
Dimitri Bascou going well as well. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:58 | |
Right through the middle, Ortega gets it! | 0:38:58 | 0:38:59 | |
From Omar Mcleod. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:06 | |
It was only the last two flights of hurdles that Ortega and Mcleod | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
got themselves in front of the two Frenchman, | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
who started so well. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:15 | |
Ortega is able to turn the tables | 0:39:15 | 0:39:20 | |
on the Olympic champion. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:21 | |
13.11. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
A good race and a good performance from Ortega, | 0:39:23 | 0:39:25 | |
not too far off is season's best. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:32 | |
Mcleod just a hundredth of a second behind. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
I thought Mcleod got out really well, Ortega down a little | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
bit at this stage. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:41 | |
David Oliver struggling to go with these youngsters. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
Dimitri Bascou came up alongside him and then Ortega between them, | 0:39:43 | 0:39:48 | |
just a little bit stronger at off that final barrier. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:52 | |
I thought Mcleod would go clear after the tenth hurdle. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:58 | |
He is a sub ten second man on the flat! | 0:39:58 | 0:40:05 | |
Just a hundredth of a second, this time, takes the win. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:12 | |
Belocian's personal-best, in fourth. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:19 | |
The penultimate event of the evening, the men's 1,000 metres. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:25 | |
What a strong field it is. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:34 | |
Asbel Kiprop, so disappointing by his standards, finishing | 0:40:34 | 0:40:40 | |
fifth in the Rio 1500. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:43 | |
Ayanleh Souleiman, the record-holder, goes in this field. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:53 | |
Only three men have ever gone below 2.13. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:54 | |
Steve Cram is one of them, alongside me. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:59 | |
They are looking for 53 seconds flat here for the first 400. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:04 | |
It needs to be quick. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:09 | |
It looks to me like Rotich has gone off a bit on the slow side. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:19 | |
Interested to see if Kiprop can bounce back, the 2008 | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
Olympic champion. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:29 | |
Kwemoi back in last place in the final in the 1500. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:33 | |
It's an awkward race to get right. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:39 | |
I think 1500 metre runners have to attack this a bit more. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:43 | |
They have that strength. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:44 | |
I'm surprised they're not going through quicker, | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
Kiprop went through fast, see how far back he is. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:57 | |
There he is in the blue. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:06 | |
Matthew Centrowitz is getting close now, as they go to the bell. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:14 | |
It is Souleman really going for this one. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:20 | |
He is an aggressive runner. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:36 | |
He's not worried about elbowing and contact. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:39 | |
Kitilit is hanging onto it. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:41 | |
The gap is closing. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:44 | |
Behind them, there is a big, big gap. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:48 | |
Still Lewandowski in fourth place. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:56 | |
The strength of the 1500 metre man tells now with Kitilit. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
They are all struggling here. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:00 | |
Kiprop coming through for fourth place. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:03 | |
Souleman takes it, and the time was quick. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:07 | |
It is a new meeting record. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:09 | |
One of the quickest times in history. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:15 | |
The fifth fastest time ever, by Souleman. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:19 | |
Consolation of sorts for just finishing outside the medals in Rio. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 | |
Souleman had a go and he got himself into it. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:28 | |
Centrowitz in sixth place in setting a personal best. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:31 | |
Kipkoech, a personal best. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:38 | |
Lewandowski, a Polish national record. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:47 | |
Centrowitz down in sixth place. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:50 | |
I think he can be excused that moderate run by his standards, | 0:43:50 | 0:43:54 | |
although a pretty big personal-best, I must say. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:58 | |
We take a look at Klishina in the long jump. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:07 | |
Klishina the only Russian competing at the Olympic Games in Rio. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:17 | |
It wasn't a great night for the Americans, | 0:44:17 | 0:44:19 | |
finishing in fifth place. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:21 | |
Klishina rounding up to 6.50. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:29 | |
Her coach, Lauren Seagrove, has managed her so well, | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
down there in Florida. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:38 | |
Lorraine Ugen, Steve, in good form. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:43 | |
But a week or so too late. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:44 | |
11th at the Games. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:45 | |
This was her second round effort. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:49 | |
A good one it was, also. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:51 | |
All the way out there to 6.71. | 0:44:51 | 0:44:55 | |
She might have had another one. | 0:44:55 | 0:45:05 | |
Ivana Spanovic, a wonderful year for her. | 0:45:06 | 0:45:16 | |
Twice a World Championships bronze-medallist, now an Olympics | 0:45:16 | 0:45:19 | |
bronze-medallist after Rio, her best coming in the second round. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:25 | |
That 6.83 took the win. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:34 | |
She passed her second and third rounds, possibly due to fatigue. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:40 | |
Still one track event, the 200 metres. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:44 | |
We have a withdrawal, Aaron Brown. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
The very talented Canadian is, sadly, not starting. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:53 | |
So a big opportunity for the likes of Reece Prescod | 0:45:53 | 0:45:57 | |
Prescott of Great Britain. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:02 | |
Christophe Lemaitre got the nod in Rio. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:03 | |
Martina just missed out. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:10 | |
It all came down to thousandths of a second. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:15 | |
A good start by Alonso Edward. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:24 | |
Tsakonas is trying to keep going. | 0:46:24 | 0:46:30 | |
Churandy Martina is trying to forge a way. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:35 | |
He manages to do it. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:37 | |
Martina gets it. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:39 | |
19.83, well, well! | 0:46:39 | 0:46:44 | |
It is a new personal best and a new national record. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:54 | |
He beats what he ran in 2012 here, by two hundredths of a second. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:59 | |
He absolutely loves it here. | 0:46:59 | 0:47:01 | |
Alonso Edward inside 20 seconds as well. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:04 | |
Taken down a hundredth, 19.81. | 0:47:04 | 0:47:12 | |
That was one of the races of the night. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:19 | |
19.81, a new national record. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:21 | |
Alonso at 19.92. | 0:47:21 | 0:47:24 | |
A new personal best for Reece Prescod. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:27 | |
There were, understandably, some tired arms and legs | 0:47:27 | 0:47:29 | |
in Lausanne, but there were some standout performances. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:34 | |
Elaine Thompson perhaps had more reason to be tired than others, | 0:47:34 | 0:47:38 | |
with her two golds and a silver in Rio, but she still produced | 0:47:38 | 0:47:41 | |
an incrediblly fast 100 metres win. | 0:47:41 | 0:47:47 | |
Three medal hopefuls were disappointed in Rio from Team | 0:47:47 | 0:47:57 | |
GB, but they produced some very good second places here, | 0:47:59 | 0:48:01 | |
Eilidh Doyle and Robbie Grabarz looking in great form, | 0:48:01 | 0:48:03 | |
and Lorraine Ugen with a good second in the high jump. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:06 | |
Our current crop of sprinters might have something to think about. | 0:48:06 | 0:48:08 | |
Joel Fearon got a fine third in the 100 metres. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:12 | |
And young Reece Prescod, a big 200 personal best tonight, | 0:48:12 | 0:48:17 | |
he will go away very, very happy. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:20 | |
Rio is over, but we move on. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:24 | |
STUDIO: That is it from Lausanne. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:34 | |
If you're having withdrawal symptoms from the Olympics, | 0:48:35 | 0:48:37 | |
tune in to see more Olympic stars doing battle. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:39 | |
Goodbye. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:43 |
