:00:49. > :00:54.After three meetings, the 2016 Diamond League is well and truly
:00:55. > :01:01.under way. Plenty of athletes already having laid down a marker
:01:02. > :01:09.early in this Olympic year. A good Win against good opposition.
:01:10. > :01:19.An astonishing effort. World number one wins here very comfortably. Look
:01:20. > :01:26.at that! Second best of all-time. What a race that was!
:01:27. > :01:31.After its debut stop in Africa, the Diamond League heads state side and
:01:32. > :01:35.to Eugene Oregon which is for many the spiritual home of American track
:01:36. > :01:39.and field and the venue for the Prefontaine Classic. We start by
:01:40. > :01:46.catching up with events from Friday's distance night, featuring
:01:47. > :01:49.famous Oregon resident Mo Farah. COMMENTATOR: 10,000 metres at Mo
:01:50. > :01:56.Farah very much the star of the show. And reputedly in great shape.
:01:57. > :01:59.I know he's asked for a fast pace and I know that he thinks he can go
:02:00. > :02:01.pretty close to his personal best which of course would be a British
:02:02. > :02:44.record here tonight. Koisembi going well as well. You
:02:45. > :02:45.have to put yourself out there. Ei going well as well. You have to put
:02:46. > :02:54.yourself out there. Koisembei feels good, he's putting
:02:55. > :02:57.himself out there. Five laps to go. The youngster Koisembei rallies
:02:58. > :03:10.again at the front. Mo Farah much closer in second.
:03:11. > :03:21.Once again, the crowd are on their feet. Two laps to go. Farah tries to
:03:22. > :03:28.attack and control. Sitonik sitting in behind him. As they take the
:03:29. > :03:34.bell, one lap to go. We are going to head for something under 27 minutes
:03:35. > :03:48.here I'm pretty sure. Sitonik going well. Koisembei trying to hang on to
:03:49. > :03:52.Mo Farah. Tola, the Ethiopian. Sitonik looks comfortable and Farah
:03:53. > :03:59.checks where the danger is. It's ahead of him now. The former world
:04:00. > :04:08.champion with #20e 0 to go attacks. Farah digs deep. -- 200 to go. Has
:04:09. > :04:13.Sitonik got the pace? Has he got the speed left here. Maybe that look
:04:14. > :04:18.down the back straight, he might rue that because Mo Farah kicks again.
:04:19. > :04:27.The Kenyan gives it a look behind because out in front, as ever, Mo
:04:28. > :04:38.Farah wins the preclassic 10,000 metres, 26.53.
:04:39. > :04:46.Really great race and good to see Farah taking them on. To be honest
:04:47. > :04:50.with you, I'm kind of a little disappointed to just run that time,
:04:51. > :04:54.it was a bit slow. I was hoping to run a lot faster than that. I'm in
:04:55. > :04:58.great shape, so a bit disappointed tonight but sometimes it's your
:04:59. > :05:01.first race, you know, it is what it is.
:05:02. > :05:07.The women's long jump last night, it was a pretty good competition. Got
:05:08. > :05:13.chilly later on but a fairly good breeze on their backs. Lorraine Ugen
:05:14. > :05:17.based in Texas, had a great indoor season at the world indoors went out
:05:18. > :05:21.at 676, her best outdoors so far this year. That came in round two
:05:22. > :05:30.and would be good enough to secure third spot for the British athlete.
:05:31. > :05:39.Ivana Spanovic had a great indoor season as well. Had a pretty good
:05:40. > :05:44.series, three jumps in the 680s. Her best effort was 688 in round two,
:05:45. > :05:48.she followed that up and looked around that mark all the way
:05:49. > :05:59.through. A couple of fouls as well. Wasn't good enough to win the
:06:00. > :06:12.competition. In round one, BrittnerRe -- BrittneyRees, she won
:06:13. > :06:23.the competition with this first round effort of 692. Seven metres
:06:24. > :06:27.you suspect not far away for Reese. Still to come:th: Merritt and James
:06:28. > :06:33.put on a great show as they continue their rivalry over 400 metres. The
:06:34. > :06:36.day's big event is the 5,000 metres, a star-studded line-up, including
:06:37. > :06:42.everyone Mo might be facing in this year's Olympic final.
:06:43. > :06:56.Youth versus experience in the men's 100 metres as the old guard looked
:06:57. > :07:03.to hold off some relative newcomers. Laura Weightman in the 1500 metres.
:07:04. > :07:13.Porter takes on America's best in the 100 metres hurdles. Commentators
:07:14. > :07:20.are Steve Cram and Stuart Storey. The men's mile, some very good young
:07:21. > :07:28.talent. Charlie Grice of the UK, the world junior champion, Jonathan
:07:29. > :07:36.Sawe. These are the two pace-makers on the outside. Grice of Great
:07:37. > :07:39.Britain, just missing a personal best in the 800 metres in
:07:40. > :07:45.preparation for this race so he'll be looking for a good one here. The
:07:46. > :07:49.international mile gets under way. Just under four laps of the track.
:07:50. > :07:56.Huge opportunity for many here, not only to go under four minutes, one
:07:57. > :08:00.or two who haven't done that yet, a couple of the youngsters in
:08:01. > :08:04.particular. The others looking for good performance.
:08:05. > :08:11.Charlie Grice of Great Britain Seltled quickly into fourth spot,
:08:12. > :08:19.effectively second there. In the front, Kemboi still leading. Wolde
:08:20. > :08:29.in behind him. Grice. Ahead of Fleet by a long way. 155-156 now. The
:08:30. > :08:32.third, crucial lap now for the leaders to see if they can set
:08:33. > :08:37.themselves up for a pretty good time at the end of this race. Grice
:08:38. > :08:40.looking good at the moment. He said he felt good and he said he was
:08:41. > :08:50.looking, not just to get a fast time, but to win the race. And he
:08:51. > :08:52.could: Kemboi leading. Wolde, he finished fifth at the World Indoor
:08:53. > :09:02.Championships in Portland earlier on this year, he ran a 354 indoor mile
:09:03. > :09:07.in Ireland. Seventh in the 3,000 metres so he's got decent endurance
:09:08. > :09:12.as well. Wolde sitting on the shoulder of Kemboi. Grice looking
:09:13. > :09:17.very comfortable in third. They come to take the bell this time. Kemboi
:09:18. > :09:22.will move to the side. Grice looking for room on the inside. Needs to be
:09:23. > :09:25.patient. They take the bell. Ethiopia leading in front of Great
:09:26. > :09:31.Britain and these miles ahead of the field. A long, long way ahead. The
:09:32. > :09:36.world junior champion is about 60 metres behind, having a shocker.
:09:37. > :09:42.Grice feeling good now. Senses that Wolde is starting to falter a little
:09:43. > :09:45.bit. Down the back straight. The British athlete just stretching. I'm
:09:46. > :09:50.sure there's more to come from him yet. They are chasing behind but
:09:51. > :09:55.they are so far behind, they are not going to catch these two. A look
:09:56. > :10:01.behind from Grice, Wolde not able to respond and Grice easing away.
:10:02. > :10:04.Looking really good. A little glance on the inside, into the home
:10:05. > :10:08.straight and Grice has got this one sown up. It's now all about
:10:09. > :10:13.finishing strongly. See what sort of time he can get. Kicking hard. This
:10:14. > :10:21.is going to be a big win for Charlie Grice. Grice of Great Britain comes
:10:22. > :10:30.in to take the win, 352.63, a personal best. Wolde taking second
:10:31. > :10:33.spot. The rest trailing in a long way. They never went with pace,
:10:34. > :10:41.never gave themselves a chance to run fast. That's a big, big win for
:10:42. > :10:49.Charlie Grice. Taking almost a couple of seconds, almost exactly
:10:50. > :10:54.two seconds off his previous best. Confirmation of Grice's win. 352.64.
:10:55. > :11:06.Wolde a distant second. To get the win, for me that's
:11:07. > :11:10.important to win races because that's what the sport is all about,
:11:11. > :11:14.winning races, not times and records, they are there to be broken
:11:15. > :11:21.so it's good to get the win. Next on the track, the women's 100
:11:22. > :11:24.metres. Jeter, Pierre, Okagbare-Ighoteguonor, Fraser-Pryce,
:11:25. > :11:33.English Gardner, Ahoure, Bartoletta and Facey of Jamaica. Slight breeze
:11:34. > :11:35.behind them. The temperature rising all of the time. Perfect conditions
:11:36. > :11:51.for sprinting. Pierre gets out quickly. Gardner is
:11:52. > :11:56.coming away. Fraser-Pryce. Gardner gets the win at 10. 8. Wow! Well, I
:11:57. > :12:05.said it was a great day for sprinting. That is not only a shock
:12:06. > :12:16.in the sense of her performance but how slow, that's the only word to
:12:17. > :12:20.use really was Fraser-Price. A good start Fraser price not good out of
:12:21. > :12:28.the blocks and then after that she continued to go with it Yes, this is
:12:29. > :12:37.the best I've seen her. It was fan. - fantastic. It was a great run.
:12:38. > :12:43.Fraser-Pryce has a bit of work to do, but I mean, English Gardner was
:12:44. > :12:47.superb! Kept her form well. A little ragged at the end, but my goodness
:12:48. > :12:55.me, when you are running at that speed, it's bound to happen. 10. 81.
:12:56. > :13:01.English Gardner winning 10. 81. Good performance from Bartoletta also.
:13:02. > :13:06.All the way down in eighth, Fraser price 11. 18. Final jump for
:13:07. > :13:15.Craddock, see if he can improve his position. He needs to try to get
:13:16. > :13:23.ahead of Claye. Craddock then looking to improve his position.
:13:24. > :13:28.That looks good! Now, that's a very good jump from Omar Craddock.
:13:29. > :13:33.Certainly hasn't taken the lead, you can see where that was but that may
:13:34. > :13:37.well have improved his position. 17. 40 was what he needed and it's come
:13:38. > :13:41.up a little shy of what he was requiring, it's a small improvement,
:13:42. > :13:47.17. 15 for Craddock, staying in third.
:13:48. > :13:57.Will Claye, sixth and final. What can he do? Oh, that's a big, big
:13:58. > :14:00.jump, isn't it? Looks a big jump! I just wonder whether he's put the
:14:01. > :14:08.real pressure on Taylor because that's a big, big jump. That looks
:14:09. > :14:13.better. It's 17. 56! Wow. Taylor's got to respond to that! Really
:14:14. > :14:19.quick. He's a champion, can he do it? Oh, it's also a good jump but
:14:20. > :14:23.I'm not sure it's far enough. He's not quite got his rhythm yet but my
:14:24. > :14:29.goodness me what a good competitor he is. Really fires on six cylinders
:14:30. > :14:35.in this event time after time. Twice world Olympic champion. He'll defend
:14:36. > :14:39.his title hopefully this year. A look of, well, resignation in a
:14:40. > :14:48.sense there. It's 17.76, it was better! Wow, look at that! What a
:14:49. > :14:54.competitor! And that is superb. 17.76, really up against it with
:14:55. > :15:00.Claye's 17. 56. And I say, when you, well, I say resignation, he expected
:15:01. > :15:07.more, he really wanted more. But there it is, world lead for Taylor.
:15:08. > :15:14.Claye season's best and Craddock 17. 15 in third.
:15:15. > :15:40.Pretty slowly out of his blocks. Run down by Jackson. Gibson going well
:15:41. > :15:44.into the back straight. Tinsley, once again, running that very even
:15:45. > :15:55.pace right the way through to 200 metres. Then it will start to open
:15:56. > :16:05.up. Also on the outside Clement going well, good to see him back in
:16:06. > :16:08.some form. Moving very quickly. Tinsley coming very strong. Under
:16:09. > :16:14.pressure from Clement on the outside. Tinsley is going to take
:16:15. > :16:24.another win. Tinsley gets it on the nearside. 48.7 five. A very good run
:16:25. > :16:31.by Michael Tinsley. Technically he is good, tactically he is good. Not
:16:32. > :16:40.fazed by the men that go on the outside, a season best for him. A
:16:41. > :16:46.good start to the year for Tinsley. You said, winning two Diamond
:16:47. > :16:51.leagues, it is an open event this season and Tinsley stamping his
:16:52. > :16:57.authority on it early. There it is, a season's Bester Michael Tinsley.
:16:58. > :17:03.Clement, a season's there for him. Jackson, just outside 49 seconds,
:17:04. > :17:11.his own season's best as well. A great day, many have chosen to sit
:17:12. > :17:21.in the stands with a bit of shade. On the track, the women's 3000
:17:22. > :17:30.metres steeplechase. Emma Coburn is the American record-holder. This
:17:31. > :17:47.young lady here, from Bahrain, the 19-year-old, Ruth Jebet. The women's
:17:48. > :17:50.steeplechase, one or two little stumbles at managing mostly to stay
:17:51. > :17:52.on their feet. It will be interesting to see how fast they go
:17:53. > :18:09.here. Kiyeng And Ruth Jebet capable of
:18:10. > :18:14.picking the pace up. They really are. Turning the pace on. Ruth Jebet
:18:15. > :18:19.decided to force the pace. They have got through the first 1000. It
:18:20. > :18:24.looked under three minutes to me, or very close to three minutes. Ruth
:18:25. > :18:28.Jebet leading. The world champion, Kiyeng, is behind her and a couple
:18:29. > :18:38.of the other Kenyans trying to chase, it just Jepkoech. No athlete
:18:39. > :18:41.has ever gone under nine minutes in the steeplechase. We are heading for
:18:42. > :18:48.something really quick here. Ruth Jebet in the front, the -- where she
:18:49. > :18:54.has been in the last three or four laps. Kiyeng At the moment making no
:18:55. > :18:57.inroads into the lead whatsoever. If anything the lead is extending. She
:18:58. > :19:05.is heading for a super quick time here. Kiyeng is the sixth fastest
:19:06. > :19:16.athlete of all time. Three Kenyans ahead of her on the list. A world
:19:17. > :19:20.record of 8.50 eight. If Ruth Jebet finishes strongly she will not be
:19:21. > :19:29.too far away from nine minutes. Only one athlete ever has gone under nine
:19:30. > :19:36.minutes, the next best time is 9.5. Ruth Jebet looking so good. If she
:19:37. > :19:41.can get her hurdling right and be more relaxed over the barriers, who
:19:42. > :19:47.knows. She could really go below that nine minute barrier. There are
:19:48. > :19:52.about 30 metres and it's not getting any less. Kiyeng is going to be
:19:53. > :19:56.heading for a quick time as well, she had a little look at the clock
:19:57. > :20:01.as she went through. She sensed for the first time that the gap is just
:20:02. > :20:07.starting to close. Much better from Ruth Jebet, attacking that barrier.
:20:08. > :20:12.Kiyeng is still 20 metres behind. Ruth Jebet fell apart on the last
:20:13. > :20:17.lap in Shanghai. This time she is looking a lot stronger. But almost
:20:18. > :20:23.coming to stop there. Kiyeng closing with every stride. 200 metres to go
:20:24. > :20:27.Ruth Jebet. The time just starting to slip away from her little bit,
:20:28. > :20:31.but still heading for one of the quickest ever steeplechases. That
:20:32. > :20:36.was better. Through the water for the last time. Kiyeng is close and
:20:37. > :20:40.she is closing. The crowd on their feet in the home straight. Ruth
:20:41. > :20:45.Jebet with one more barrier to complete. Takes it better this time,
:20:46. > :20:50.but here comes the world champion. Kiyeng is finishing quickly, but
:20:51. > :20:56.talk is -- Rock is ticking away. She still going, is she going to get
:20:57. > :21:04.there? Kiyeng of Kenya might not get there. Ruth Jebet wins it. 8:59.90
:21:05. > :21:09.six. The second quickest time of all time. That could well be an American
:21:10. > :21:14.record. It won't be too far away. Almost a world record for Ruth
:21:15. > :21:19.Jebet. Look at that, just 19 years of age and well done for hanging on.
:21:20. > :21:26.Kiyeng attacked and attacked hard and looked as though she might get
:21:27. > :21:30.there, but Ruth Jebet hung on for the win and it was a brilliant race.
:21:31. > :21:39.Not much in it in the end, but that is the difference between winning
:21:40. > :21:46.and coming second. Ruth Jebet, eight -- 8.50 nine. Emma Coburn with a new
:21:47. > :21:55.American record in third place, a season's best.
:21:56. > :22:03.This is Kendrick 's, who has had a very good season, had a very good
:22:04. > :22:11.win the last time in the League meeting. Very impressive. Barbour in
:22:12. > :22:22.second place. Can he put pressure on is the question everyone was asking.
:22:23. > :22:27.That was superb. Third attempt. 5.80 one. Went on to attempt five point
:22:28. > :22:42.87. This was the 5.81 that clinched it.
:22:43. > :22:49.Bartlett went clear on his third attempt. A good clearance, by virtue
:22:50. > :22:59.of that first-time clearance that he won over the world champion Shawn
:23:00. > :23:08.Barber of Canada. Terrific, that looks like it was worth more. Went
:23:09. > :23:21.on to attempt 5.87 but failed three times at that height. There it is.
:23:22. > :23:46.There is the line-up for the men's 800 metres.
:23:47. > :24:16.The men's 800 metres. It looks like Berian means business.
:24:17. > :24:24.Kitum On the outside. The pacemaker has gone now and not really with
:24:25. > :24:33.that pacemaker but it is a good start. A good, competitive race
:24:34. > :24:40.being set up here. Plenty to prove here. Aman struggling with his form
:24:41. > :24:56.and a need for good performance. A chance for these guys. The lead has
:24:57. > :25:07.been set. Aman takes close order in second place. Then Kitum and then
:25:08. > :25:14.Vazquez. Behind Vazquez is Adam Kszczot. Vazquez powering away. Adam
:25:15. > :25:20.Kszczot coming round the outside. This looks like a very good finish,
:25:21. > :25:28.Aman in second place. The two Kenyans have picked up on the
:25:29. > :25:39.outside. Aman. Adam Kszczot. What a race this is. It looks as though
:25:40. > :25:44.Boris Berian is going to win it. What a good race. That is a really
:25:45. > :25:51.good performance from Boris Berian. When you start moving into... This
:25:52. > :25:55.is a sort of race you have to run, you look at people who you've got
:25:56. > :26:00.and it's almost tougher in the 800 metres. This will really help him.
:26:01. > :26:06.The time is a bonus but the win is the most important thing. Yes, a
:26:07. > :26:13.season's best for Boris Berian. Going well. First session outdoors.
:26:14. > :26:22.Aman just getting in ahead of Adam Kszczot.
:26:23. > :26:29.One of the greatest rivalries in modern sprinting, Luke Shaw merit
:26:30. > :26:41.and James once again go head dead in the 400 metres. The -- they aim to
:26:42. > :26:45.dominate the field. Michael Johnson's 16 year meeting record
:26:46. > :26:49.could well be under threat. COMMENTATOR: The men's 400 metres,
:26:50. > :27:19.there is the line-up for you. LaShawn Merritt has gone off pretty
:27:20. > :27:24.quickly. Isaac Makwala, they won't worry too much about him. LaShawn
:27:25. > :27:29.Merritt has charged off as they approached 200 metres. This is a
:27:30. > :27:36.really good run in deed. James looks so majestic as they approach 300
:27:37. > :27:40.metres now. Isaac Makwala has run a bit more than to play this time.
:27:41. > :27:46.LaShawn Merritt on the inside of James. These two, look at this,
:27:47. > :27:57.James opens that big stride. James and Merritt. James gets it from
:27:58. > :28:07.Merritt, yes he does. James, who came here with the fastest time in
:28:08. > :28:12.the world this year said on the 29th of April... What a good race between
:28:13. > :28:20.those two and Isaac Makwala, for once, hung on. These two never
:28:21. > :28:27.failed to put on a show here. Once again not much to choose between
:28:28. > :28:35.them. But for the third time in a row Kirani James coming out on top.
:28:36. > :28:40.Merritt trine to hold that form. James being a bit more aggressive
:28:41. > :28:47.with his form in the last 20 metres. Merritt, I think, must wonder what
:28:48. > :28:51.he has to do to beat him here in Eugene because that wasn't a bad
:28:52. > :28:58.performance. The two of them have been great. James knows that the big
:28:59. > :29:04.races are yet to come. They both have others to face later in the
:29:05. > :29:08.season. But James coming out on top again. I think using a good place at
:29:09. > :29:20.this stage of the season. There it is, Kirani James and Merritt,
:29:21. > :29:25.third-place the Isaac Makwala. Let's pick out some names on this list.
:29:26. > :29:52.Mead has been doing well. Interesting to see what they will do
:29:53. > :30:01.come the American trials. The 5000 gets underway. A cracking field
:30:02. > :30:06.here. When you look at the strength and depth here and the men who are
:30:07. > :30:08.running well, a great race in Shanghai. A great battle on the last
:30:09. > :30:35.lap from Edris. For the home crowd, they'll be
:30:36. > :30:47.cheering on Bernard. They are stretched out, 200 metres. The first
:30:48. > :30:48.pacemaker will step to one side. Maybe dropped off a little bit
:30:49. > :31:19.there. Very close. Some are moving back now. So they're
:31:20. > :31:29.well stretched out. Seven to go. Sadly, Laggatt has decided to drop
:31:30. > :31:38.out, the crowd are applauding him. At the front, it's a slow pace.
:31:39. > :31:42.There's Laggatt. Deciding enough is enough -- Lagat. Ran a pretty good
:31:43. > :31:47.10,000 this year already. Just wondered what happened there. He's
:31:48. > :31:53.at the front. That was the pace-maker who went down. Watching
:31:54. > :32:05.Lagat walk to the side, I thought he gave up, but he got tripped. Sadly
:32:06. > :32:09.for Bernard Lagat it's not been a great performance. With two laps to
:32:10. > :32:21.go, it will be quicker on the last 400 metres. Can they give themselves
:32:22. > :32:26.a chance of dipping under here. The Canadian is in fifth place now. Made
:32:27. > :32:31.a bit of headway, whether he can sustain that pace, we'll see. A best
:32:32. > :32:35.of 13. 10. He comes wide on the outside now and approaches the front
:32:36. > :32:58.of this. Edris looking dangerous. If he's
:32:59. > :33:05.this close with 400 metres to go, you should be worried.
:33:06. > :33:17.We could be heading for 13 here. Ahmed cuts across.
:33:18. > :33:24.These three pulling away. Edris has missed the break. Look at Ahmed
:33:25. > :33:28.stretching away down the back straight, really testing the three
:33:29. > :33:38.big names here. This is a huge performance from him. Edris
:33:39. > :33:46.desperately trying to get in, as is Kamwaro. Kamwaro still looking good
:33:47. > :33:54.and strong, looks behind, sees where the danger is. He's got to attack
:33:55. > :33:59.early. Kamwaro can't hold off Edris. Here he goes again. He won in
:34:00. > :34:04.Shanghai. He's going to win here in Eugene. Will it be under 13 minutes
:34:05. > :34:13.again? Yes, it will! 12. 59 for the second Diamond League 5,000 in a row
:34:14. > :34:15.for the Ethiopian. Kamwaro in second may have just dipped under the
:34:16. > :34:23.13-minute mark. We'll confirm that in a second. A massive run from
:34:24. > :34:47.Ahmed of Canada in third. Confirmation
:34:48. > :34:59.Have a look at the women's high jump now. Alessia Trost of Italy in
:35:00. > :35:05.third. She went into the competition at 180, cleared that, 184, then 188
:35:06. > :35:12.and a second-time clearance at 192 here, she achieved third place on
:35:13. > :35:22.that. In fact, I'm looking at the computer now, which is working for
:35:23. > :35:34.us and I think she ties with Licwinko of Poland. Both Trost and
:35:35. > :35:44.Licwinko cleared the height and then went on to the next height. Spencer
:35:45. > :35:55.got the clearance at 188. That was the problem she had and that her
:35:56. > :35:59.best clearance was at 192. Spencer, one of the high jumpers in the world
:36:00. > :36:08.who's really made some progress in the past with her personal best at
:36:09. > :36:11.198. 195 this season. As we were saying earlier, the event has not
:36:12. > :36:16.yet, and I know this is a pun, not really taken off yet. She attacks,
:36:17. > :36:29.not particularly quickly, but she's got terrific impact on the deck. She
:36:30. > :36:33.lifts off very, very well. 192. Lowe went clear of that height hence her
:36:34. > :36:38.victory and she attempted 195 here and cleared it. She's much faster
:36:39. > :36:42.in. Very pleased with that. The world's best jump so far this season
:36:43. > :36:47.at 196, so she'll be looking to increase that. Tried to increase it
:36:48. > :36:50.at 197, couldn't make it and had three failures at that height. Her
:36:51. > :36:55.first time clearance, she didn't have a failure until the 197 which
:36:56. > :37:02.followed this jump. She really does attack the bar. Total contrast to
:37:03. > :37:11.Spencer. Quite a showwoman, enjoying the moment. The winner of the
:37:12. > :37:21.women's high jump. There it is, 195 for Lowe.
:37:22. > :37:24.Great atmosphere here, you can't fault it. The bishop's 200 metres
:37:25. > :37:49.then. There is the line-up. Thompson eats gone off quickly. Look
:37:50. > :37:53.at Bowie go on the inside, she's probably leading but look at
:37:54. > :37:57.Schippers, pretty tough. Thompson and Bowie on the inside. Schippers
:37:58. > :38:01.wants to come strongly from the back. Bowie is running well. She's
:38:02. > :38:08.going to take this. Bowie gets it. Schippers in second. Thompson in
:38:09. > :38:14.third. 21.98. Well, another good performance. Bowie is something
:38:15. > :38:22.else! 10. 80 in the 100 metres in Doha and now she's beaten Schippers.
:38:23. > :38:26.It wasn't Elaine Thompson who got revenge, Bowie is proving herself to
:38:27. > :38:31.be fantastic. 100 and 200 as well. Schippers it was this bit of the
:38:32. > :38:35.race that I didn't think she ran particularly well, she loses two or
:38:36. > :38:38.three metres, then you are expecting Schippers to come, but Bowie is
:38:39. > :38:42.still going strong. Schippers falls apart a little towards the end.
:38:43. > :38:48.Normally maintains much better than that. She wasn't able to put Bowie
:38:49. > :38:58.under any pressure in the last 10-15 metres. Schippers isn't ready yet.
:38:59. > :39:06.At this stage of the year, that is another big win for Bowie. 21.99.
:39:07. > :39:13.She's got both the 100 and the 200 woshled leading times. -- world
:39:14. > :39:19.leading times. Good race! Well, the men's javelin was a very good
:39:20. > :39:24.competition and certainly Thomas Rohler of Germany was playing his
:39:25. > :39:28.part. He was leading the Diamond Race coming into this competition
:39:29. > :39:34.and, on this occasion, he ended up in third place with 82.53. That was
:39:35. > :39:42.the fourth round of this competition. In second place was a
:39:43. > :39:47.man who really last season dominated the world champion, of course, 92
:39:48. > :39:54.metre throw on his champion occasion. 84.6 on this occasion.
:39:55. > :39:58.First three incidentally. He's the sort of thrower who can actually hit
:39:59. > :40:05.it and once he gets everything right, it will go a long, long way.
:40:06. > :40:16.Second place at the end of the competition to Julius Yego.
:40:17. > :40:20.Abdelharman of Egypt, it was his day today and it came in the fifth
:40:21. > :40:33.round. World silver medallist last year. 89-metre throw. Just short of
:40:34. > :40:40.90. There it is. 87. 87.37. Despite everything, it was a season's best.
:40:41. > :40:46.Rohler led the Diamond League until today. The men stripping off getting
:40:47. > :41:10.ready for this 100 metres. Here is the line-up.
:41:11. > :41:17.Cleanly away this time. . Gatlin gets a cracking start. It's Gatlin
:41:18. > :41:25.with the lead. Here comes Powell. He's not going to get there. Gatlin
:41:26. > :41:31.wins it. 9.85 and Gatlin finally producing a fast run this year.
:41:32. > :41:36.Easily his quickest. It's been rounded up, taken up a little bit.
:41:37. > :41:39.For the first time today, the win, I said that breeze did just pick up
:41:40. > :41:47.when they were on the start line, so it won't be a legal time. Plus 2.6.
:41:48. > :41:50.9.88, a comfortable within in the end, Powell hung on for second
:41:51. > :41:57.place. Gay getting the nod for third. Very powerful. Look at that.
:41:58. > :42:09.Very slowly his head comes up. That's good technique. Asafa working
:42:10. > :42:14.hard. Got second place. The win confirmed for Gatlin, 9.88, not a
:42:15. > :42:24.world leading time. Next on the track, the women's 1500 metres and a
:42:25. > :42:38.good, competitive field here. One of two youngsters. Efraimson of the USA
:42:39. > :42:43.hoping to go well. Embaye, Tsegay. Kipyego has made the headlines this
:42:44. > :42:52.year with her superb world leading run in Shanghai.
:42:53. > :42:59.Three and three quarter laps as ever. Price, the pace-maker, she's
:43:00. > :43:07.been asked to do everything by herself. Interesting to see whether
:43:08. > :43:11.Kipyego takes it on. Slotted in nicely behind Price who's helping
:43:12. > :43:13.them settle down. Plenty of athletes here, this is their first big race
:43:14. > :43:30.of the season. Rowbury moving up. They have just eased down a little
:43:31. > :43:36.as they got on to the home straight here. Absolutely spot on. Kipyego
:43:37. > :43:39.very, very powerful. The World Championship silver medallist from
:43:40. > :43:44.Beijing last year showed such terrific form in Shanghai to go to
:43:45. > :43:49.356.82. A very dominant piece of running and the fact she's latched
:43:50. > :43:52.on to the pace-maker indicates she's in Business Today or at least is
:43:53. > :43:56.determined. And look out now down the back straight. A little increase
:43:57. > :44:01.in pace and all of a sudden they spread well out. Yes, they went off
:44:02. > :44:07.hard and Price maintaining that. A little quick through the first 400
:44:08. > :44:11.metres for Price. She raced over 800 metres last night, interesting to
:44:12. > :44:17.see how far she'll be able to go at this pace.
:44:18. > :44:25.Simpson is far back, letting them go off at this good pace. Just a few
:44:26. > :44:33.gaps. Martinez going well here. They are all settling down after this
:44:34. > :44:41.pretty quick pace being set by Chanelle Price. Good to see Shannon
:44:42. > :44:46.Rowbury tucking in at fifth place. Fourth in the race with the
:44:47. > :44:51.pace-maker. This actually could develop, no-one yet prepared to make
:44:52. > :44:55.the move and I would think Kipyego, she has great finish speed, will
:44:56. > :44:59.start to make a move soon. All of a sudden there's a gap opening u ahead
:45:00. > :45:12.of rowbury. Chanelle Price looking behind to see
:45:13. > :45:23.if Kipyegon is there ready to take over. The two Ethiopians chasing her
:45:24. > :45:28.home, with Shannon Rowbury. Look at the gaps all of the way back to
:45:29. > :45:37.Shannon Rowbury. The others are trying to bunch behind Simpson.
:45:38. > :45:42.Weightman Moving up. The others are going to be closing a little as they
:45:43. > :45:51.approached the bell. Kipyegon leading. Simpson moving past Shannon
:45:52. > :45:55.Rowbury. These three have a good ten-metre lead. Kipyegon, there to
:45:56. > :46:01.be shot at. Can these two 19-year-old give asked something to
:46:02. > :46:03.think about with 300 metres to go? The woman who leads the world
:46:04. > :46:19.rankings this year, leading. And as ever, Seyaum challenging. They will
:46:20. > :46:24.be finishing quickly. Kipyegon with 200 to go has it between herself and
:46:25. > :46:33.Seyaum. Another metre between the two of them. Five metres back to the
:46:34. > :46:37.others, who are struggling. Kipyegon picks it up again, looks behind and
:46:38. > :46:42.sees the gap going. This is what she did in Shanghai. So strong in the
:46:43. > :46:47.last 100 metres. Kipyegon kicks away, a good performance from the
:46:48. > :46:59.Kenyan. See what she ends up with. It will be quick again. Kipyegon
:47:00. > :47:00.wins it, then Seyaum and Tsegay. A good performance once more from
:47:01. > :47:12.Kipyegon. A very good quick run. Seyaum
:47:13. > :47:20.getting a personal best. Simpson with a season's best. Good times all
:47:21. > :47:26.the way down. A season's that Martinez. Shannon faded a little bit
:47:27. > :47:34.but probably reasonably happy with that, improving to a season's best.
:47:35. > :47:41.The USA has long been a dominant force in the women's 100 metre
:47:42. > :47:46.hurdles but things didn't go quite to plan at the World Championships.
:47:47. > :47:51.Beijing's bronze-medallist joins Tiffany Porter in taking on a
:47:52. > :47:55.formidable line-up of American hurdlers who will surely be
:47:56. > :48:00.expecting medals the Olympics. COMMENTATOR: The hurdles are out for
:48:01. > :48:10.the women's 100-metre hurdles. What a race this promises to be. Six
:48:11. > :48:26.competitors from the USA. Harrison got away well. Rollin is
:48:27. > :48:33.going very well, Harrison coming through. This is going to be quick.
:48:34. > :48:42.Harrison takes up brilliantly. I think in second place was Brianna
:48:43. > :48:50.Rollins. 12.22. 100th of a second outside the world record. It has
:48:51. > :48:55.been upgraded to 12.24. Wow, she promised to deliver, what about
:48:56. > :49:00.that? The second fastest time in history. Just watch this, good out
:49:01. > :49:07.of the blocks. A diminutive figure but just making room for those
:49:08. > :49:13.hurdles. I think maybe one of them she glanced early on but perfect
:49:14. > :49:24.hurdling, so smooth, a big smile. That has got to be classed...
:49:25. > :49:29.Millions of years ago, 1988 it was. But she is so quick off the hurdle,
:49:30. > :49:33.it's as good as I've seen. Her trail leg is terrific. These they don't
:49:34. > :49:38.jump hurdles, make room for them, she is doing just that. I have not
:49:39. > :49:41.seen hurdling right up for a long time, it was God-given, terrific,
:49:42. > :49:47.sensational. Let's have a look at the result, it is worth reflecting
:49:48. > :49:54.on. 12.20 four. Three hundredths of a second outside the world record.
:49:55. > :49:59.Brianna Rollins just winning over Jasmin Stowers. The great race and a
:50:00. > :50:08.great result and a great champion. A couple of events still to go. The
:50:09. > :50:14.famous Bowerman Mile and the women's 400 metres where one of the greats
:50:15. > :50:28.is taking her final bow. Yes, Ashley Spencer. Sanya Richards-Ross retires
:50:29. > :50:36.after the Olympics. The reigning Olympics champion in London.
:50:37. > :50:44.A long hold on that but they have got away. Richards has gone off very
:50:45. > :50:50.quickly, Sanya Richards-Ross write-up up onto the shoulder of
:50:51. > :50:57.McCorory. Hastings going well. On the inside, MacPherson of Jamaica
:50:58. > :51:04.making some headway as they approach the 200-metre mark. Miller going
:51:05. > :51:10.strongly on the outside lane. Looking at Stephanie Ann McPherson,
:51:11. > :51:15.coming on strongly on means light. Sanya Richards-Ross is having some
:51:16. > :51:20.trouble now, fading, I guess. Miller coming through into the lead at the
:51:21. > :51:31.moment. Stephanie Ann McPherson looking very strong. On the outside
:51:32. > :51:36.is Hastings, in fact it is Miller. Miller in the shadow of the stand on
:51:37. > :51:46.this nearside. That was a very, very good run by Miller. Came on strongly
:51:47. > :51:55.at the end. Miller wins that, 50.15. Coming through very strongly at the
:51:56. > :51:58.end. Miller, then McCorory, a season's best, and Natasha Hastings,
:51:59. > :52:05.a season's best for her in third place.
:52:06. > :52:12.Less than half a second separated the top five in the men's 1500
:52:13. > :52:21.metres at last summer's Beijing Championships. They are reunited
:52:22. > :52:27.here today for the Bowerman Mile. Kiprop Already set a lead in the
:52:28. > :52:29.previous race but will face a challenge. Time for the final event
:52:30. > :52:43.on the track, Bowerman Mile. Not the best known of the Kenyan 's,
:52:44. > :53:06.Magut. This mile is full of talent. The
:53:07. > :53:11.Bowerman Mile gets under way. You have everybody here from the Olympic
:53:12. > :53:17.champions, the world champions, the best in the world and all the way to
:53:18. > :53:22.the likes of Andrew Hunter, the 18-year-old who is hoping he might
:53:23. > :53:34.get a chance to get close to the high school record. At the front,
:53:35. > :53:47.Kiprop, in the all blue. They are well spread out already. Blankenship
:53:48. > :53:56.looking for some room on the inside. Magut Full is the they will all
:53:57. > :54:00.queue up behind Kiprop. Seemed like they slow down a little, they
:54:01. > :54:05.bunched up on the home straight. Kiprop makes it look so easy, almost
:54:06. > :54:13.in jogging mode. He makes it look so, so easy. The other Ethiopian,
:54:14. > :54:21.world indoor silver-medallist making some progress. Kiprop leading the
:54:22. > :54:27.race. Kiprop looks like he might be trying to get back to the pace at
:54:28. > :54:31.the front. There is a gap already. The pacemaker has done what you
:54:32. > :54:35.don't want him to do, and it'll slow through 400 and reacted to that by
:54:36. > :54:41.picking the pace up a little too quickly. That is wider gap. Kiprop
:54:42. > :54:47.has now done that -- is and created a gap between him and the chasing
:54:48. > :54:57.pack. This time round it will be two to go and the Gap starting to
:54:58. > :55:03.appear. Blankenship Moving up. Kiprop, as they go through 800
:55:04. > :55:08.metres, with a five-metre lead. The pacemaker in front of him will get
:55:09. > :55:12.as far as he can, but this is a day when Kiprop has given up on the
:55:13. > :55:16.times already. Look at that, letting himself drift back to the field. He
:55:17. > :55:21.is going to win this or try and win this that his will. 3.48, if he is
:55:22. > :55:27.going to run that fast it will have to be on a big last lap. The others
:55:28. > :55:32.are closing him down now, so it become the race. One or two athletes
:55:33. > :55:37.in the back pack have now found themselves back into contention in
:55:38. > :55:46.the race, if there is such a thing against the great Kiprop. He has
:55:47. > :55:53.such a fast finish. It really is going to be a very competitive race.
:55:54. > :55:59.500 metres or a little less to go. Kiprop with them ganging up behind
:56:00. > :56:06.him. Kiprop looks bright little bit of room. It is anybody's race here.
:56:07. > :56:18.Kiprop has allowed three of them to go past him.
:56:19. > :56:24.Blankenship and Wote in front of Kiprop. He starts to stretch out
:56:25. > :56:33.down the back straight. Those legs of his starting to click into gear.
:56:34. > :56:37.The Olympic bronze-medallist at 5000 with the man who we all expect to go
:56:38. > :56:42.and hopefully take the gold, from his point of view, in Rio. Had a
:56:43. > :56:51.look behind to see where the danger is. Kiprop looks comfortable. Kiprop
:56:52. > :56:55.kicking away. It has been a good performance but Kiprop kicks away to
:56:56. > :57:05.take the win. It will not be fast, 3.50 one. Today Kiprop deciding the
:57:06. > :57:09.winner was enough. It is all he wanted to do. The pacemaking wasn't
:57:10. > :57:15.tickly good early on and I think that decided what he determined he
:57:16. > :57:20.was going to do. The winning time for Kiprop, 3.50 one. A shake of the
:57:21. > :57:26.head showing you wanted something a bit better than that. I think the
:57:27. > :57:31.rest will be a little disappointed, although Blankenship rewarded with a
:57:32. > :57:36.personal best in seventh place. Another brilliant meeting in Eugene.
:57:37. > :57:46.Two performances on the track where athletes almost the world record.
:57:47. > :57:51.Harrison in the hurdles and Ruth. Charlie Grice won the International
:57:52. > :57:54.mile and a new personal best, a real confidence booster for him. Mo Farah
:57:55. > :57:58.will get all of the headlines again. He had to work really hard to win
:57:59. > :58:01.the 10,000 metres. He was hoping for something a little bit quicker but
:58:02. > :58:06.in the NT had to dig deep for the victory. It was another sub 27
:58:07. > :58:09.minute rocking and British bands will look forward to seeing him in
:58:10. > :58:14.Birmingham next week. Stay with us on BBC Two for coverage
