Eugene, Oregon: Highlights Athletics: IAAF Diamond League

After three meetings, the 2016 Diamond League is well and truly

under way. Plenty of athletes already having laid down a marker

early in this Olympic year. A good Win against good opposition.

An astonishing effort. World number one wins here very comfortably. Look

at that! Second best of all-time. What a race that was!

After its debut stop in Africa, the Diamond League heads state side and

to Eugene Oregon which is for many the spiritual home of American track

and field and the venue for the Prefontaine Classic. We start by

catching up with events from Friday's distance night, featuring

famous Oregon resident Mo Farah. COMMENTATOR: 10,000 metres at Mo

Farah very much the star of the show. And reputedly in great shape.

I know he's asked for a fast pace and I know that he thinks he can go

pretty close to his personal best which of course would be a British

record here tonight. Koisembi going well as well. You

have to put yourself out there. Ei going well as well. You have to put

yourself out there. Koisembei feels good, he's putting

himself out there. Five laps to go. The youngster Koisembei rallies

again at the front. Mo Farah much closer in second.

Once again, the crowd are on their feet. Two laps to go. Farah tries to

attack and control. Sitonik sitting in behind him. As they take the

bell, one lap to go. We are going to head for something under 27 minutes

here I'm pretty sure. Sitonik going well. Koisembei trying to hang on to

Mo Farah. Tola, the Ethiopian. Sitonik looks comfortable and Farah

checks where the danger is. It's ahead of him now. The former world

champion with #20e 0 to go attacks. Farah digs deep. -- 200 to go. Has

Sitonik got the pace? Has he got the speed left here. Maybe that look

down the back straight, he might rue that because Mo Farah kicks again.

The Kenyan gives it a look behind because out in front, as ever, Mo

Farah wins the preclassic 10,000 metres, 26.53.

Really great race and good to see Farah taking them on. To be honest

with you, I'm kind of a little disappointed to just run that time,

it was a bit slow. I was hoping to run a lot faster than that. I'm in

great shape, so a bit disappointed tonight but sometimes it's your

first race, you know, it is what it is.

The women's long jump last night, it was a pretty good competition. Got

chilly later on but a fairly good breeze on their backs. Lorraine Ugen

based in Texas, had a great indoor season at the world indoors went out

at 676, her best outdoors so far this year. That came in round two

and would be good enough to secure third spot for the British athlete.

Ivana Spanovic had a great indoor season as well. Had a pretty good

series, three jumps in the 680s. Her best effort was 688 in round two,

she followed that up and looked around that mark all the way

through. A couple of fouls as well. Wasn't good enough to win the

competition. In round one, BrittnerRe -- BrittneyRees, she won

the competition with this first round effort of 692. Seven metres

you suspect not far away for Reese. Still to come:th: Merritt and James

put on a great show as they continue their rivalry over 400 metres. The

day's big event is the 5,000 metres, a star-studded line-up, including

everyone Mo might be facing in this year's Olympic final.

Youth versus experience in the men's 100 metres as the old guard looked

to hold off some relative newcomers. Laura Weightman in the 1500 metres.

Porter takes on America's best in the 100 metres hurdles. Commentators

are Steve Cram and Stuart Storey. The men's mile, some very good young

talent. Charlie Grice of the UK, the world junior champion, Jonathan

Sawe. These are the two pace-makers on the outside. Grice of Great

Britain, just missing a personal best in the 800 metres in

preparation for this race so he'll be looking for a good one here. The

international mile gets under way. Just under four laps of the track.

Huge opportunity for many here, not only to go under four minutes, one

or two who haven't done that yet, a couple of the youngsters in

particular. The others looking for good performance.

Charlie Grice of Great Britain Seltled quickly into fourth spot,

effectively second there. In the front, Kemboi still leading. Wolde

in behind him. Grice. Ahead of Fleet by a long way. 155-156 now. The

third, crucial lap now for the leaders to see if they can set

themselves up for a pretty good time at the end of this race. Grice

looking good at the moment. He said he felt good and he said he was

looking, not just to get a fast time, but to win the race. And he

could: Kemboi leading. Wolde, he finished fifth at the World Indoor

Championships in Portland earlier on this year, he ran a 354 indoor mile

in Ireland. Seventh in the 3,000 metres so he's got decent endurance

as well. Wolde sitting on the shoulder of Kemboi. Grice looking

very comfortable in third. They come to take the bell this time. Kemboi

will move to the side. Grice looking for room on the inside. Needs to be

patient. They take the bell. Ethiopia leading in front of Great

Britain and these miles ahead of the field. A long, long way ahead. The

world junior champion is about 60 metres behind, having a shocker.

Grice feeling good now. Senses that Wolde is starting to falter a little

bit. Down the back straight. The British athlete just stretching. I'm

sure there's more to come from him yet. They are chasing behind but

they are so far behind, they are not going to catch these two. A look

behind from Grice, Wolde not able to respond and Grice easing away.

Looking really good. A little glance on the inside, into the home

straight and Grice has got this one sown up. It's now all about

finishing strongly. See what sort of time he can get. Kicking hard. This

is going to be a big win for Charlie Grice. Grice of Great Britain comes

in to take the win, 352.63, a personal best. Wolde taking second

spot. The rest trailing in a long way. They never went with pace,

never gave themselves a chance to run fast. That's a big, big win for

Charlie Grice. Taking almost a couple of seconds, almost exactly

two seconds off his previous best. Confirmation of Grice's win. 352.64.

Wolde a distant second. To get the win, for me that's

important to win races because that's what the sport is all about,

winning races, not times and records, they are there to be broken

so it's good to get the win. Next on the track, the women's 100

metres. Jeter, Pierre, Okagbare-Ighoteguonor, Fraser-Pryce,

English Gardner, Ahoure, Bartoletta and Facey of Jamaica. Slight breeze

behind them. The temperature rising all of the time. Perfect conditions

for sprinting. Pierre gets out quickly. Gardner is

coming away. Fraser-Pryce. Gardner gets the win at 10. 8. Wow! Well, I

said it was a great day for sprinting. That is not only a shock

in the sense of her performance but how slow, that's the only word to

use really was Fraser-Price. A good start Fraser price not good out of

the blocks and then after that she continued to go with it Yes, this is

the best I've seen her. It was fan. - fantastic. It was a great run.

Fraser-Pryce has a bit of work to do, but I mean, English Gardner was

superb! Kept her form well. A little ragged at the end, but my goodness

me, when you are running at that speed, it's bound to happen. 10. 81.

English Gardner winning 10. 81. Good performance from Bartoletta also.

All the way down in eighth, Fraser price 11. 18. Final jump for

Craddock, see if he can improve his position. He needs to try to get

ahead of Claye. Craddock then looking to improve his position.

That looks good! Now, that's a very good jump from Omar Craddock.

Certainly hasn't taken the lead, you can see where that was but that may

well have improved his position. 17. 40 was what he needed and it's come

up a little shy of what he was requiring, it's a small improvement,

17. 15 for Craddock, staying in third.

Will Claye, sixth and final. What can he do? Oh, that's a big, big

jump, isn't it? Looks a big jump! I just wonder whether he's put the

real pressure on Taylor because that's a big, big jump. That looks

better. It's 17. 56! Wow. Taylor's got to respond to that! Really

quick. He's a champion, can he do it? Oh, it's also a good jump but

I'm not sure it's far enough. He's not quite got his rhythm yet but my

goodness me what a good competitor he is. Really fires on six cylinders

in this event time after time. Twice world Olympic champion. He'll defend

his title hopefully this year. A look of, well, resignation in a

sense there. It's 17.76, it was better! Wow, look at that! What a

competitor! And that is superb. 17.76, really up against it with

Claye's 17. 56. And I say, when you, well, I say resignation, he expected

more, he really wanted more. But there it is, world lead for Taylor.

Claye season's best and Craddock 17. 15 in third.

Pretty slowly out of his blocks. Run down by Jackson. Gibson going well

into the back straight. Tinsley, once again, running that very even

pace right the way through to 200 metres. Then it will start to open

up. Also on the outside Clement going well, good to see him back in

some form. Moving very quickly. Tinsley coming very strong. Under

pressure from Clement on the outside. Tinsley is going to take

another win. Tinsley gets it on the nearside. 48.7 five. A very good run

by Michael Tinsley. Technically he is good, tactically he is good. Not

fazed by the men that go on the outside, a season best for him. A

good start to the year for Tinsley. You said, winning two Diamond

leagues, it is an open event this season and Tinsley stamping his

authority on it early. There it is, a season's Bester Michael Tinsley.

Clement, a season's there for him. Jackson, just outside 49 seconds,

his own season's best as well. A great day, many have chosen to sit

in the stands with a bit of shade. On the track, the women's 3000

metres steeplechase. Emma Coburn is the American record-holder. This

young lady here, from Bahrain, the 19-year-old, Ruth Jebet. The women's

steeplechase, one or two little stumbles at managing mostly to stay

on their feet. It will be interesting to see how fast they go

here. Kiyeng And Ruth Jebet capable of

picking the pace up. They really are. Turning the pace on. Ruth Jebet

decided to force the pace. They have got through the first 1000. It

looked under three minutes to me, or very close to three minutes. Ruth

Jebet leading. The world champion, Kiyeng, is behind her and a couple

of the other Kenyans trying to chase, it just Jepkoech. No athlete

has ever gone under nine minutes in the steeplechase. We are heading for

something really quick here. Ruth Jebet in the front, the -- where she

has been in the last three or four laps. Kiyeng At the moment making no

inroads into the lead whatsoever. If anything the lead is extending. She

is heading for a super quick time here. Kiyeng is the sixth fastest

athlete of all time. Three Kenyans ahead of her on the list. A world

record of 8.50 eight. If Ruth Jebet finishes strongly she will not be

too far away from nine minutes. Only one athlete ever has gone under nine

minutes, the next best time is 9.5. Ruth Jebet looking so good. If she

can get her hurdling right and be more relaxed over the barriers, who

knows. She could really go below that nine minute barrier. There are

about 30 metres and it's not getting any less. Kiyeng is going to be

heading for a quick time as well, she had a little look at the clock

as she went through. She sensed for the first time that the gap is just

starting to close. Much better from Ruth Jebet, attacking that barrier.

Kiyeng is still 20 metres behind. Ruth Jebet fell apart on the last

lap in Shanghai. This time she is looking a lot stronger. But almost

coming to stop there. Kiyeng closing with every stride. 200 metres to go

Ruth Jebet. The time just starting to slip away from her little bit,

but still heading for one of the quickest ever steeplechases. That

was better. Through the water for the last time. Kiyeng is close and

she is closing. The crowd on their feet in the home straight. Ruth

Jebet with one more barrier to complete. Takes it better this time,

but here comes the world champion. Kiyeng is finishing quickly, but

talk is -- Rock is ticking away. She still going, is she going to get

there? Kiyeng of Kenya might not get there. Ruth Jebet wins it. 8:59.90

six. The second quickest time of all time. That could well be an American

record. It won't be too far away. Almost a world record for Ruth

Jebet. Look at that, just 19 years of age and well done for hanging on.

Kiyeng attacked and attacked hard and looked as though she might get

there, but Ruth Jebet hung on for the win and it was a brilliant race.

Not much in it in the end, but that is the difference between winning

and coming second. Ruth Jebet, eight -- 8.50 nine. Emma Coburn with a new

American record in third place, a season's best.

This is Kendrick 's, who has had a very good season, had a very good

win the last time in the League meeting. Very impressive. Barbour in

second place. Can he put pressure on is the question everyone was asking.

That was superb. Third attempt. 5.80 one. Went on to attempt five point

87. This was the 5.81 that clinched it.

Bartlett went clear on his third attempt. A good clearance, by virtue

of that first-time clearance that he won over the world champion Shawn

Barber of Canada. Terrific, that looks like it was worth more. Went

on to attempt 5.87 but failed three times at that height. There it is.

There is the line-up for the men's 800 metres.

The men's 800 metres. It looks like Berian means business.

Kitum On the outside. The pacemaker has gone now and not really with

that pacemaker but it is a good start. A good, competitive race

being set up here. Plenty to prove here. Aman struggling with his form

and a need for good performance. A chance for these guys. The lead has

been set. Aman takes close order in second place. Then Kitum and then

Vazquez. Behind Vazquez is Adam Kszczot. Vazquez powering away. Adam

Kszczot coming round the outside. This looks like a very good finish,

Aman in second place. The two Kenyans have picked up on the

outside. Aman. Adam Kszczot. What a race this is. It looks as though

Boris Berian is going to win it. What a good race. That is a really

good performance from Boris Berian. When you start moving into... This

is a sort of race you have to run, you look at people who you've got

and it's almost tougher in the 800 metres. This will really help him.

The time is a bonus but the win is the most important thing. Yes, a

season's best for Boris Berian. Going well. First session outdoors.

Aman just getting in ahead of Adam Kszczot.

One of the greatest rivalries in modern sprinting, Luke Shaw merit

and James once again go head dead in the 400 metres. The -- they aim to

dominate the field. Michael Johnson's 16 year meeting record

could well be under threat. COMMENTATOR: The men's 400 metres,

there is the line-up for you. LaShawn Merritt has gone off pretty

quickly. Isaac Makwala, they won't worry too much about him. LaShawn

Merritt has charged off as they approached 200 metres. This is a

really good run in deed. James looks so majestic as they approach 300

metres now. Isaac Makwala has run a bit more than to play this time.

LaShawn Merritt on the inside of James. These two, look at this,

James opens that big stride. James and Merritt. James gets it from

Merritt, yes he does. James, who came here with the fastest time in

the world this year said on the 29th of April... What a good race between

those two and Isaac Makwala, for once, hung on. These two never

failed to put on a show here. Once again not much to choose between

them. But for the third time in a row Kirani James coming out on top.

Merritt trine to hold that form. James being a bit more aggressive

with his form in the last 20 metres. Merritt, I think, must wonder what

he has to do to beat him here in Eugene because that wasn't a bad

performance. The two of them have been great. James knows that the big

races are yet to come. They both have others to face later in the

season. But James coming out on top again. I think using a good place at

this stage of the season. There it is, Kirani James and Merritt,

third-place the Isaac Makwala. Let's pick out some names on this list.

Mead has been doing well. Interesting to see what they will do

come the American trials. The 5000 gets underway. A cracking field

here. When you look at the strength and depth here and the men who are

running well, a great race in Shanghai. A great battle on the last

lap from Edris. For the home crowd, they'll be

cheering on Bernard. They are stretched out, 200 metres. The first

pacemaker will step to one side. Maybe dropped off a little bit

there. Very close. Some are moving back now. So they're

well stretched out. Seven to go. Sadly, Laggatt has decided to drop

out, the crowd are applauding him. At the front, it's a slow pace.

There's Laggatt. Deciding enough is enough -- Lagat. Ran a pretty good

10,000 this year already. Just wondered what happened there. He's

at the front. That was the pace-maker who went down. Watching

Lagat walk to the side, I thought he gave up, but he got tripped. Sadly

for Bernard Lagat it's not been a great performance. With two laps to

go, it will be quicker on the last 400 metres. Can they give themselves

a chance of dipping under here. The Canadian is in fifth place now. Made

a bit of headway, whether he can sustain that pace, we'll see. A best

of 13. 10. He comes wide on the outside now and approaches the front

of this. Edris looking dangerous. If he's

this close with 400 metres to go, you should be worried.

We could be heading for 13 here. Ahmed cuts across.

These three pulling away. Edris has missed the break. Look at Ahmed

stretching away down the back straight, really testing the three

big names here. This is a huge performance from him. Edris

desperately trying to get in, as is Kamwaro. Kamwaro still looking good

and strong, looks behind, sees where the danger is. He's got to attack

early. Kamwaro can't hold off Edris. Here he goes again. He won in

Shanghai. He's going to win here in Eugene. Will it be under 13 minutes

again? Yes, it will! 12. 59 for the second Diamond League 5,000 in a row

for the Ethiopian. Kamwaro in second may have just dipped under the

13-minute mark. We'll confirm that in a second. A massive run from

Ahmed of Canada in third. Confirmation

Have a look at the women's high jump now. Alessia Trost of Italy in

third. She went into the competition at 180, cleared that, 184, then 188

and a second-time clearance at 192 here, she achieved third place on

that. In fact, I'm looking at the computer now, which is working for

us and I think she ties with Licwinko of Poland. Both Trost and

Licwinko cleared the height and then went on to the next height. Spencer

got the clearance at 188. That was the problem she had and that her

best clearance was at 192. Spencer, one of the high jumpers in the world

who's really made some progress in the past with her personal best at

198. 195 this season. As we were saying earlier, the event has not

yet, and I know this is a pun, not really taken off yet. She attacks,

not particularly quickly, but she's got terrific impact on the deck. She

lifts off very, very well. 192. Lowe went clear of that height hence her

victory and she attempted 195 here and cleared it. She's much faster

in. Very pleased with that. The world's best jump so far this season

at 196, so she'll be looking to increase that. Tried to increase it

at 197, couldn't make it and had three failures at that height. Her

first time clearance, she didn't have a failure until the 197 which

followed this jump. She really does attack the bar. Total contrast to

Spencer. Quite a showwoman, enjoying the moment. The winner of the

women's high jump. There it is, 195 for Lowe.

Great atmosphere here, you can't fault it. The bishop's 200 metres

then. There is the line-up. Thompson eats gone off quickly. Look

at Bowie go on the inside, she's probably leading but look at

Schippers, pretty tough. Thompson and Bowie on the inside. Schippers

wants to come strongly from the back. Bowie is running well. She's

going to take this. Bowie gets it. Schippers in second. Thompson in

third. 21.98. Well, another good performance. Bowie is something

else! 10. 80 in the 100 metres in Doha and now she's beaten Schippers.

It wasn't Elaine Thompson who got revenge, Bowie is proving herself to

be fantastic. 100 and 200 as well. Schippers it was this bit of the

race that I didn't think she ran particularly well, she loses two or

three metres, then you are expecting Schippers to come, but Bowie is

still going strong. Schippers falls apart a little towards the end.

Normally maintains much better than that. She wasn't able to put Bowie

under any pressure in the last 10-15 metres. Schippers isn't ready yet.

At this stage of the year, that is another big win for Bowie. 21.99.

She's got both the 100 and the 200 woshled leading times. -- world

leading times. Good race! Well, the men's javelin was a very good

competition and certainly Thomas Rohler of Germany was playing his

part. He was leading the Diamond Race coming into this competition

and, on this occasion, he ended up in third place with 82.53. That was

the fourth round of this competition. In second place was a

man who really last season dominated the world champion, of course, 92

metre throw on his champion occasion. 84.6 on this occasion.

First three incidentally. He's the sort of thrower who can actually hit

it and once he gets everything right, it will go a long, long way.

Second place at the end of the competition to Julius Yego.

Abdelharman of Egypt, it was his day today and it came in the fifth

round. World silver medallist last year. 89-metre throw. Just short of

90. There it is. 87. 87.37. Despite everything, it was a season's best.

Rohler led the Diamond League until today. The men stripping off getting

ready for this 100 metres. Here is the line-up.

Cleanly away this time. . Gatlin gets a cracking start. It's Gatlin

with the lead. Here comes Powell. He's not going to get there. Gatlin

wins it. 9.85 and Gatlin finally producing a fast run this year.

Easily his quickest. It's been rounded up, taken up a little bit.

For the first time today, the win, I said that breeze did just pick up

when they were on the start line, so it won't be a legal time. Plus 2.6.

9.88, a comfortable within in the end, Powell hung on for second

place. Gay getting the nod for third. Very powerful. Look at that.

Very slowly his head comes up. That's good technique. Asafa working

hard. Got second place. The win confirmed for Gatlin, 9.88, not a

world leading time. Next on the track, the women's 1500 metres and a

good, competitive field here. One of two youngsters. Efraimson of the USA

hoping to go well. Embaye, Tsegay. Kipyego has made the headlines this

year with her superb world leading run in Shanghai.

Three and three quarter laps as ever. Price, the pace-maker, she's

been asked to do everything by herself. Interesting to see whether

Kipyego takes it on. Slotted in nicely behind Price who's helping

them settle down. Plenty of athletes here, this is their first big race

of the season. Rowbury moving up. They have just eased down a little

as they got on to the home straight here. Absolutely spot on. Kipyego

very, very powerful. The World Championship silver medallist from

Beijing last year showed such terrific form in Shanghai to go to

356.82. A very dominant piece of running and the fact she's latched

on to the pace-maker indicates she's in Business Today or at least is

determined. And look out now down the back straight. A little increase

in pace and all of a sudden they spread well out. Yes, they went off

hard and Price maintaining that. A little quick through the first 400

metres for Price. She raced over 800 metres last night, interesting to

see how far she'll be able to go at this pace.

Simpson is far back, letting them go off at this good pace. Just a few

gaps. Martinez going well here. They are all settling down after this

pretty quick pace being set by Chanelle Price. Good to see Shannon

Rowbury tucking in at fifth place. Fourth in the race with the

pace-maker. This actually could develop, no-one yet prepared to make

the move and I would think Kipyego, she has great finish speed, will

start to make a move soon. All of a sudden there's a gap opening u ahead

of rowbury. Chanelle Price looking behind to see

if Kipyegon is there ready to take over. The two Ethiopians chasing her

home, with Shannon Rowbury. Look at the gaps all of the way back to

Shannon Rowbury. The others are trying to bunch behind Simpson.

Weightman Moving up. The others are going to be closing a little as they

approached the bell. Kipyegon leading. Simpson moving past Shannon

Rowbury. These three have a good ten-metre lead. Kipyegon, there to

be shot at. Can these two 19-year-old give asked something to

think about with 300 metres to go? The woman who leads the world

rankings this year, leading. And as ever, Seyaum challenging. They will

be finishing quickly. Kipyegon with 200 to go has it between herself and

Seyaum. Another metre between the two of them. Five metres back to the

others, who are struggling. Kipyegon picks it up again, looks behind and

sees the gap going. This is what she did in Shanghai. So strong in the

last 100 metres. Kipyegon kicks away, a good performance from the

Kenyan. See what she ends up with. It will be quick again. Kipyegon

wins it, then Seyaum and Tsegay. A good performance once more from

Kipyegon. A very good quick run. Seyaum

getting a personal best. Simpson with a season's best. Good times all

the way down. A season's that Martinez. Shannon faded a little bit

but probably reasonably happy with that, improving to a season's best.

The USA has long been a dominant force in the women's 100 metre

hurdles but things didn't go quite to plan at the World Championships.

Beijing's bronze-medallist joins Tiffany Porter in taking on a

formidable line-up of American hurdlers who will surely be

expecting medals the Olympics. COMMENTATOR: The hurdles are out for

the women's 100-metre hurdles. What a race this promises to be. Six

competitors from the USA. Harrison got away well. Rollin is

going very well, Harrison coming through. This is going to be quick.

Harrison takes up brilliantly. I think in second place was Brianna

Rollins. 12.22. 100th of a second outside the world record. It has

been upgraded to 12.24. Wow, she promised to deliver, what about

that? The second fastest time in history. Just watch this, good out

of the blocks. A diminutive figure but just making room for those

hurdles. I think maybe one of them she glanced early on but perfect

hurdling, so smooth, a big smile. That has got to be classed...

Millions of years ago, 1988 it was. But she is so quick off the hurdle,

it's as good as I've seen. Her trail leg is terrific. These they don't

jump hurdles, make room for them, she is doing just that. I have not

seen hurdling right up for a long time, it was God-given, terrific,

sensational. Let's have a look at the result, it is worth reflecting

on. 12.20 four. Three hundredths of a second outside the world record.

Brianna Rollins just winning over Jasmin Stowers. The great race and a

great result and a great champion. A couple of events still to go. The

famous Bowerman Mile and the women's 400 metres where one of the greats

is taking her final bow. Yes, Ashley Spencer. Sanya Richards-Ross retires

after the Olympics. The reigning Olympics champion in London.

A long hold on that but they have got away. Richards has gone off very

quickly, Sanya Richards-Ross write-up up onto the shoulder of

McCorory. Hastings going well. On the inside, MacPherson of Jamaica

making some headway as they approach the 200-metre mark. Miller going

strongly on the outside lane. Looking at Stephanie Ann McPherson,

coming on strongly on means light. Sanya Richards-Ross is having some

trouble now, fading, I guess. Miller coming through into the lead at the

moment. Stephanie Ann McPherson looking very strong. On the outside

is Hastings, in fact it is Miller. Miller in the shadow of the stand on

this nearside. That was a very, very good run by Miller. Came on strongly

at the end. Miller wins that, 50.15. Coming through very strongly at the

end. Miller, then McCorory, a season's best, and Natasha Hastings,

a season's best for her in third place.

Less than half a second separated the top five in the men's 1500

metres at last summer's Beijing Championships. They are reunited

here today for the Bowerman Mile. Kiprop Already set a lead in the

previous race but will face a challenge. Time for the final event

on the track, Bowerman Mile. Not the best known of the Kenyan 's,

Magut. This mile is full of talent. The

Bowerman Mile gets under way. You have everybody here from the Olympic

champions, the world champions, the best in the world and all the way to

the likes of Andrew Hunter, the 18-year-old who is hoping he might

get a chance to get close to the high school record. At the front,

Kiprop, in the all blue. They are well spread out already. Blankenship

looking for some room on the inside. Magut Full is the they will all

queue up behind Kiprop. Seemed like they slow down a little, they

bunched up on the home straight. Kiprop makes it look so easy, almost

in jogging mode. He makes it look so, so easy. The other Ethiopian,

world indoor silver-medallist making some progress. Kiprop leading the

race. Kiprop looks like he might be trying to get back to the pace at

the front. There is a gap already. The pacemaker has done what you

don't want him to do, and it'll slow through 400 and reacted to that by

picking the pace up a little too quickly. That is wider gap. Kiprop

has now done that -- is and created a gap between him and the chasing

pack. This time round it will be two to go and the Gap starting to

appear. Blankenship Moving up. Kiprop, as they go through 800

metres, with a five-metre lead. The pacemaker in front of him will get

as far as he can, but this is a day when Kiprop has given up on the

times already. Look at that, letting himself drift back to the field. He

is going to win this or try and win this that his will. 3.48, if he is

going to run that fast it will have to be on a big last lap. The others

are closing him down now, so it become the race. One or two athletes

in the back pack have now found themselves back into contention in

the race, if there is such a thing against the great Kiprop. He has

such a fast finish. It really is going to be a very competitive race.

500 metres or a little less to go. Kiprop with them ganging up behind

him. Kiprop looks bright little bit of room. It is anybody's race here.

Kiprop has allowed three of them to go past him.

Blankenship and Wote in front of Kiprop. He starts to stretch out

down the back straight. Those legs of his starting to click into gear.

The Olympic bronze-medallist at 5000 with the man who we all expect to go

and hopefully take the gold, from his point of view, in Rio. Had a

look behind to see where the danger is. Kiprop looks comfortable. Kiprop

kicking away. It has been a good performance but Kiprop kicks away to

take the win. It will not be fast, 3.50 one. Today Kiprop deciding the

winner was enough. It is all he wanted to do. The pacemaking wasn't

tickly good early on and I think that decided what he determined he

was going to do. The winning time for Kiprop, 3.50 one. A shake of the

head showing you wanted something a bit better than that. I think the

rest will be a little disappointed, although Blankenship rewarded with a

personal best in seventh place. Another brilliant meeting in Eugene.

Two performances on the track where athletes almost the world record.

Harrison in the hurdles and Ruth. Charlie Grice won the International

mile and a new personal best, a real confidence booster for him. Mo Farah

will get all of the headlines again. He had to work really hard to win

the 10,000 metres. He was hoping for something a little bit quicker but

in the NT had to dig deep for the victory. It was another sub 27

minute rocking and British bands will look forward to seeing him in

Birmingham next week. Stay with us on BBC Two for coverage
