0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hello and welcome back to Diamond League athletics.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51The fun and games of the Rio Olympics are over and now

0:00:51 > 0:00:53the quest for gold turns into the quest for diamonds,

0:00:53 > 0:00:56as some of the world's top athletes come to Lausanne

0:00:56 > 0:01:00for the Diamond League.

0:01:00 > 0:01:08A host of Olympic medallists on display.

0:01:14 > 0:01:15COMMENTATOR: Thompson's gold!

0:01:15 > 0:01:21A roar from Elaine Thompson!

0:01:26 > 0:01:29The champion thumps his chest!

0:01:29 > 0:01:36Michelle Carter snatched the gold away.

0:01:36 > 0:01:42It is Dalila Mohammed for the Gold Medal!

0:01:42 > 0:01:47Omar Mcleod to the line and to the title ahead of Ortega!

0:01:50 > 0:01:52On the shores of Lake Geneva, Lausanne is very much

0:01:52 > 0:01:54an Olympic City.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56It's the home of the headquarters of the International

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Olympic Committee, as well as the Olympic Museum

0:01:59 > 0:02:03and Archives and the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06The French-speaking Swiss city, with its medieval old town and 12th

0:02:06 > 0:02:10century gothic cathedral, has a long sporting history and has

0:02:10 > 0:02:20hosted a major athletics meet since 1977.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Your commentators for the action are Steve Cram and Tim Hutchins.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Time to go to the track in the women's 3000 metres,

0:02:29 > 0:02:30and what a line-up we have here.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Genzebe Dibaba, the world champion, desperately disappointed

0:02:32 > 0:02:36with her silver medal in Rio.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41She has the world record for this distance indoors.

0:02:41 > 0:02:47World record holder outdoors at 1500 metres.

0:02:48 > 0:02:58She did take that silver medal over 5000 in Rio.

0:03:01 > 0:03:11She beat Almaz Ayana into the bronze medal position in the 5000 metres,

0:03:11 > 0:03:16although it has to be said that Ayana ran unnecessarily fast

0:03:16 > 0:03:23in her 5,000-metre heat in Rio!

0:03:23 > 0:03:25I thought she was almost going to set another world

0:03:25 > 0:03:29record in that heat!

0:03:33 > 0:03:37She ran 13.29 for the second 5,000 metres in that final

0:03:37 > 0:03:42when she broke the record.

0:03:42 > 0:03:47She threw in a 65 second lap just before that.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51The pace had been quick anyway.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55She did something similar in the 5000 final.

0:03:55 > 0:04:03For me, it's really good to see that she could go with that and then

0:04:03 > 0:04:05maintain a much better judged race in the final.

0:04:05 > 0:04:13Helen Obiri, this might be her best event, the 5000 metres.

0:04:13 > 0:04:19Helen Obiri finally starting to give chase to the pacemakers.

0:04:19 > 0:04:29It was quick, first of all, and it didn't look like any

0:04:30 > 0:04:34of the big names were interested.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Shawn Barber, 5.47.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Still early stages in the men's pole vault.

0:04:44 > 0:04:49An event which brought so much drama at the Olympic Games.

0:04:49 > 0:04:55As expected, the world champion well, well clear.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Back to this 3000.

0:04:57 > 0:05:06Obiri has certainly picked it up.

0:05:06 > 0:05:11The world cross-country champion, winning in China, last year.

0:05:11 > 0:05:16She's in sixth place and will finish no better than that.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21They come towards the bell this time and now Dibaba hears the bell

0:05:21 > 0:05:25and takes the lead from Obiri.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Mercy Cherono in third place.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Stretching them out now.

0:05:29 > 0:05:36Look at Obiri, trying to go with her.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41A sense of deja vu here, with the events of Rio

0:05:41 > 0:05:47in the 1500 final.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Dibaba has got the gap now, 200 metres to run.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54This is devastating from Genzebe Dibaba!

0:05:54 > 0:05:59The family of Dibaba is so storeyed, and another chapter being written

0:05:59 > 0:06:03on the Diamond League circuit in Lausanne.

0:06:03 > 0:06:12Still grimacing and still going hard.

0:06:12 > 0:06:22Obiri beaten here by 20 metres, and under threat by Cherono.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26That is a devastating finishing tempo from Genzebe Dibaba.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Not leaving anything to chance.

0:06:28 > 0:06:35Obiri tried hard, but ultimately the push she made from 1200 out

0:06:35 > 0:06:38to one lap to go wasn't nearly enough.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Dibaba with that 57 last lap.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45It's nice if you can run an 8.47 pace and then drop a 57

0:06:45 > 0:06:49and end up with 8.31.

0:06:49 > 0:06:58Most athletes run that kind of pace and just hope to lift it

0:06:58 > 0:06:59a little bit at the end.

0:06:59 > 0:07:028:31.84, a new meeting record.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07The women's shot put, Christina Schwanitz ended up

0:07:07 > 0:07:09in third place tonight.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Another who was bitterly disappointed with her

0:07:11 > 0:07:13performance in Rio.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17She threw 19.03 in the final.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20A bit better here in the second round, managing to get it

0:07:20 > 0:07:27out to 19.33.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31It was this woman, Michelle Carter, who produced the performance

0:07:31 > 0:07:35of her life to grab the gold medal, with a massive throw in the last

0:07:35 > 0:07:38round in Rio, 23.63.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41A big personal best.

0:07:41 > 0:07:47She won the indoor gold in Portland.

0:07:47 > 0:07:54That is her best Diamond League position of the year, second.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Once more to Valerie Adams.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01How she would swap all her Diamond League victories for that

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Olympic gold.

0:08:05 > 0:08:1219.44 her best, although she was already leading before that.

0:08:12 > 0:08:18She missed her chance to be one of the first three...

0:08:19 > 0:08:22After the Olympic Games, there is always a hard situation

0:08:22 > 0:08:24to come back up.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28I'm happy to win in front of my home crowd for me.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31It's great, I love this meeting.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34The men's 100 metres next on the track.

0:08:34 > 0:08:44The veteran Kim Collins goes in lane three.

0:08:54 > 0:09:01Probably starting as favourite is Meite, from the Ivory Coast.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05He has been under ten seconds for 13 seasons,

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Asafa Powell.

0:09:07 > 0:09:0995 sub ten second runs.

0:09:09 > 0:09:16Can he add to that total again here, the Jamaican?

0:09:16 > 0:09:20Kim Collins goes in three, third from the right.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Joel Fearon in four.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Big step up, for the Briton.

0:09:24 > 0:09:30Asafa Powell in six.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Third from the left.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37A good start from Asafa Powell, really good start from Meite

0:09:37 > 0:09:38as well, in the orange shorts.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Powell is going to get it!

0:09:42 > 0:09:44By half a metre from Meite.

0:09:44 > 0:09:489.97.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53It is sub-ten number 96 for Asafa Powell.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Boy oh boy.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Again and again he keeps churning them out, even though his only major

0:09:58 > 0:10:00international title is a Commonwealth Games

0:10:00 > 0:10:06victory in Melbourne, back in 2006.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08He's got plenty of gold medals from the relay squad with his

0:10:08 > 0:10:15Jamaican team-mates, remember.

0:10:15 > 0:10:21Joel Fearon stepped up to the plate pretty well, third in 10.05.

0:10:21 > 0:10:30There it is, 9.96 for Asafa Powell.

0:10:34 > 0:10:43In the men's discus throw, Zoltan Kovago of Hungary was well

0:10:43 > 0:10:52short of the medals in Rio but he beat them to the lower

0:10:52 > 0:10:53places here tonight.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54His second-round effort was 64.52.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Some consolation.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00Second place, by contrast, is a real success for the Austrian.

0:11:00 > 0:11:06Taking second place in the final tonight, 64.84 not quite up to that

0:11:06 > 0:11:09level but got him ahead of Curva Grande in the final throw.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14A rather disappointing competition tonight,

0:11:14 > 0:11:19without the Olympic champion, Christophe Harting.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22The Olympic champion was by far the best on the night,

0:11:22 > 0:11:27Philip Milanov.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32His final round effort of 65.61.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Robert Harting could not banish his Rio disappointment.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Only one throw over 60 metres, and he had

0:11:38 > 0:11:42to settle for fourth place.

0:11:42 > 0:11:48Parker, the Olympic champion back in 2012,

0:11:48 > 0:11:50bronze-medallist in Rio.

0:11:50 > 0:11:57Good speed, fabulous extension in that middle phase.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59That is a great final phase into the sand, certainly

0:11:59 > 0:12:07a lot better than her opener, Olga Rypakova.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Lyndsey Sharp of Great Britain.

0:12:20 > 0:12:27The pace will come from the outside lane.

0:12:27 > 0:12:32Only Caster Semenya and Francine Niyonsaba have won

0:12:32 > 0:12:37800-metre Diamond League races this year.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44Just waiting for the pacemakers, Niyonsaba's going to have to get

0:12:44 > 0:12:50going to get herself across and into the lead.

0:12:50 > 0:12:58Melissa Bishop just following Niyonsaba.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01She may well be finally coming across, but she's meant to take

0:13:01 > 0:13:10the lead and is actually struggling to get there.

0:13:10 > 0:13:17She is struggling to run a 58 first lap here.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20I must admit, I was surprised when the time was announced,

0:13:20 > 0:13:30because I thought it was on the slower side.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32It is almost spot-on, but it is on the conservative side

0:13:32 > 0:13:35for so many of them.

0:13:35 > 0:13:41Melissa Bishop being forced wide by the pacemaker,

0:13:41 > 0:13:43who just was asked to go at 600.

0:13:43 > 0:13:50She is just getting in the way.

0:13:50 > 0:13:57Lynsey Sharp having to squeeze there as well.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Niyonsaba, 200 metres to go.

0:14:00 > 0:14:101:28.65.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18She's going to have to hold them off, here.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Niyonsaba, the Olympic silver-medallist, kicking away.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24Niyonsaba is just about going to hang on.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Lynsey Sharp in third, 1:57.8 the winning time.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Well, a pretty straightforward race, really.

0:14:38 > 0:14:43Niyonsaba would have been the pre-race favourite.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Only she and Caster Semenya have won Diamond League races this year.

0:14:46 > 0:14:56The top two in the world.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Lynsey Sharp judged her effort well and got a well-deserved third place.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Niyonsaba was very strong.

0:15:03 > 0:15:12Putting a little bit of distance between herself and the others.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Lynsey Sharp finished quickly.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Melissa Bishop looked a bit tired.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19She was in exactly the right position.

0:15:19 > 0:15:27But Francine Niyonsaba is easily the winner.

0:15:27 > 0:15:33Caterine Ibarguen, the Olympic champion.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34Much bigger than she looks.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Powerfully built.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Five foot 11.5.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Good speed, unbeatable combination

0:15:41 > 0:15:45from the 32-year-old.

0:15:45 > 0:15:4814.70.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53That looked very similar indeed.

0:15:53 > 0:15:59You could hear the screech from her as the effort kicked

0:15:59 > 0:16:00in halfway through.

0:16:00 > 0:16:0314.76, extending her lead marginally.

0:16:03 > 0:16:08That turned out to be the winning jump from Caterine Ibarguen.

0:16:08 > 0:16:17Still good jumping from a Olga Rypakova are in second place.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20First look at Renaud Lavillenie.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24He was beaten in Rio.

0:16:24 > 0:16:29He had the horrible experience of being booed by the crowd

0:16:29 > 0:16:33during the competition and on the rostrum.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35That was probably one of the low points of the Olympic Games,

0:16:35 > 0:16:37certainly in the athletics programme.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Something, as I said, he will want to forget.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42It was not a knowledgeable crowd.

0:16:42 > 0:16:49They should have just been cheering da Silva, who won a medal.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51The line-up for the women's 100 metre hurdles, and the top seven

0:16:51 > 0:16:53in the world are from the USA.

0:16:53 > 0:17:03They generally dominate.

0:17:07 > 0:17:13Harrison is the world record holder, in lane five.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17No major title yet, only sixth in the US Olympic trials in Eugene

0:17:17 > 0:17:19six weeks or so back.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Missed out on Rio but broke the world record on the 22nd

0:17:23 > 0:17:25of July in London.

0:17:25 > 0:17:35Jasmine Stellas in lane six.

0:17:36 > 0:17:41Dawn Harper Nelson is the Beijing champion,

0:17:41 > 0:17:46was that really eight years ago?

0:17:46 > 0:17:54She has won here three times in 2012, 2013 and last year.

0:17:54 > 0:17:5832 years old, the most senior in this race by four years.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59Still going well.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02What can Harrison do?

0:18:02 > 0:18:06She won the Prefontaine Classic back in May, then the disastrous sixth

0:18:06 > 0:18:08in the US Olympic trials.

0:18:08 > 0:18:15Then a world record in London a month or so back.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18She goes in five, Simmons in two.

0:18:18 > 0:18:26Harrison in five in the middle.

0:18:30 > 0:18:35Watch the clock, this will be another superfast time.

0:18:35 > 0:18:3912.44, wins by two or two and a half metres, very close for second

0:18:39 > 0:18:47and third on the near side.

0:18:47 > 0:18:5612.42 for Harrison.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59The disappointment of missing out on Rio will never be replaced

0:18:59 > 0:19:01by winning in the Diamond League.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04It is probably not replaced by running the world record,

0:19:04 > 0:19:06to be honest.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10But she still has plenty of opportunities ahead of her.

0:19:10 > 0:19:18For the time being, I can't see anybody getting close.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21There it is, one, two, three for the USA.

0:19:21 > 0:19:26Megan Simmons started so well for Jamaica.

0:19:26 > 0:19:27But she was in seventh place.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31I am in shape, I have been training hard for the last month.

0:19:31 > 0:19:32Watching the Olympics made me train harder.

0:19:32 > 0:19:42I'm excited.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51That is nice.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Not a great deal to spare from that one.

0:19:54 > 0:20:04Lots of men went out at the previous height.

0:20:04 > 0:20:12But he has been the first to go clear at this height.

0:20:12 > 0:20:19Sam Kendricks, the first attempt at 5.72 for the American.

0:20:19 > 0:20:25He was the bronze-medallist in Rio.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Silver in Portland at the World Indoors.

0:20:27 > 0:20:34That do!

0:20:34 > 0:20:39The makings of a great contest.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44Roberts of Poland clear that height at the third time of asking.

0:20:50 > 0:20:59A good line-up against LaShawn Merritt.

0:21:00 > 0:21:08Merritt has nothing to prove, but I think the likes

0:21:08 > 0:21:17of Martyn Rooney and Makwala might.

0:21:17 > 0:21:25You might argue that Maslak is not living up to his potential.

0:21:34 > 0:21:41Steven Gardiner is tall, 20 years old.

0:21:41 > 0:21:47Rooney has gone hard through the first 200 metres.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51Merritt looks like he is just cruising this first 200!

0:21:51 > 0:21:55Makwala leads them into the top bend.

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Merritt trying to go with them.

0:21:56 > 0:22:01Bonevacia is very close.

0:22:01 > 0:22:06Merritt with the little bit of work to do.

0:22:06 > 0:22:12Steven Gardiner in the middle, Merritt moves away in the end.

0:22:12 > 0:22:18Merritt first, Steve Gardner second, Liemarvin Bonevacia yet takes third.

0:22:18 > 0:22:28LaShawn Merritt just relied on his super strength.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34He had some company coming into the home straight,

0:22:34 > 0:22:38but you get the feeling he adjusted.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41All credit to LaShawn Merritt for being so strong.

0:22:41 > 0:22:46It is one of the strengths of his racing tactics or strategy,

0:22:46 > 0:22:54as it is for James, well beaten in Rio to the silver medal.

0:22:54 > 0:23:00A good win for him, his first Diamond League win since May.

0:23:00 > 0:23:09LaShawn Merritt the winner, a good second place for Gardiner.

0:23:09 > 0:23:175.72 for the world record-holder, Lavillenie.

0:23:21 > 0:23:29Now, there was daylight between the Frenchman and the bar.

0:23:29 > 0:23:36But Lavillenie goes clear as 5.72.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40First attempt at 5.84 Sam Kendricks.

0:23:44 > 0:23:54Barber is down and out, and we are down to three.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Oh yes!

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Well clear, the American.

0:23:58 > 0:24:03Silver indoors in Portland, bronze in Rio.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Who knows what is ahead of him?

0:24:07 > 0:24:12Incidentally, Piotr Lisek has had one failure already.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16So Sam Kendricks now holds the lead.

0:24:16 > 0:24:21STUDIO: Next up is the women's 100 metres, featuring Jamaica's Elaine

0:24:21 > 0:24:25Thompson, the double Olympic sprint champion.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28She won the 100 metres and 200 metres in Rio,

0:24:28 > 0:24:34just like the great man in Rio, her team-mate, Usain Bolt.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Can she emulate him again and dominate every

0:24:35 > 0:24:41sprint race she enters?

0:24:41 > 0:24:44COMMENTATOR: She is in lane four, and she is likely to give

0:24:44 > 0:24:48the field a bit of bother.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51She is the Jamaican double champion.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54What a sprint double in Rio.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55A good line-up.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58She will be tested.

0:24:58 > 0:25:05Elaine Thompson in lane four, the Olympic champion at 100 metres

0:25:05 > 0:25:06and 200 metres.

0:25:06 > 0:25:16Won the double at the Jamaican Championships earlier in the summer.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34I'm afraid half the field did not hear that.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38Jenna Prandini did.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Goodness me!

0:25:40 > 0:25:41Dear, oh dear.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44They will have to reset and give them a decent break

0:25:44 > 0:25:51after sprinting 100.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52The crowd were cheering.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55We can hear the false start gun on our headphones,

0:25:55 > 0:25:57but it might not have been so audible out there.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00The reaction times came up, and not one of them appears

0:26:00 > 0:26:01to have an illegal reaction time.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Jenna Prandini must be wondering, am I going nuts?

0:26:03 > 0:26:08There was a second gun!

0:26:08 > 0:26:13Nobody on the computer system has indicated

0:26:13 > 0:26:14as having a false start time.

0:26:14 > 0:26:21It will have to be rerun, there will have to be

0:26:21 > 0:26:22a little bit of a wait.

0:26:22 > 0:26:29Lavillenie has failed his first attempt at 5.80.

0:26:29 > 0:26:37That was not close.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Kendricks went clear first time.

0:26:38 > 0:26:43I am a little surprised that he has taken the second attempt.

0:26:43 > 0:26:44The next height is 5.86.

0:26:44 > 0:26:48Even if he cleared those, all he would have done is isolate

0:26:48 > 0:26:52himself in second place ahead of the second Pole.

0:26:52 > 0:26:59Now he has one attempt left.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01It will simply keep him in second.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Here is Bondarenko.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07Oh!

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Third time.

0:27:10 > 0:27:132.32.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17He passed the 2.29 after taking two attempts at 2.25.

0:27:17 > 0:27:23His third attempt at 2.32, and he is over.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27Four men still in this.

0:27:27 > 0:27:32Lavillenie must be feeling that the big job is still undimmed.

0:27:32 > 0:27:39Why do you use this effort when you fail three times?

0:27:39 > 0:27:40So has Lavillenie.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44It confirms the win for the American, Sam Kendricks,

0:27:44 > 0:27:47after a fabulous Olympic games.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49The Americans have their tails up.

0:27:49 > 0:27:57Kendricks, at 23, with Lavillenie pushing 30, not yet,

0:27:57 > 0:28:00but pushing it, Kendricks might yet be the future of this discipline.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04Kendricks will pass at the next height, 5.86, and he will go 5.92,

0:28:04 > 0:28:09which would equal his personal best.

0:28:09 > 0:28:19There is the card for Lavillenie.

0:28:20 > 0:28:25Robbie Grabarz just gave it a little tickle adds 2.29.

0:28:25 > 0:28:31First-time clearances so far, there is another.

0:28:31 > 0:28:35Brilliant from Robbie Grabarz.

0:28:35 > 0:28:40So disappointed with his fourth place in Rio.

0:28:40 > 0:28:45But look at that, that is a really good clearance.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48What a high jump competition we have got here!

0:28:48 > 0:28:52We can go back to Kendricks.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55This was a couple of minutes ago, by the American.

0:28:55 > 0:29:02Kendricks' second attempt at 5.92.

0:29:02 > 0:29:10Equals his own lifetime best and take the scalp

0:29:10 > 0:29:12of Lavillenie, among others.

0:29:12 > 0:29:19Erik Kynard at 2.32.

0:29:19 > 0:29:25Eighth in the World Championships last year, the American.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29He was the silver-medallist in London 2012.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Three attempts at 2.29, but went clear, and he starts

0:29:31 > 0:29:33with a clean slate.

0:29:33 > 0:29:362.32, nice!

0:29:41 > 0:29:49His opponents have perfect cards, however, up to and including 2.29.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53Kynard battling away as the heights get serious.

0:29:53 > 0:29:57Full of confidence once more.

0:29:57 > 0:30:04Grabarz has not had much rest at 2.35.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06He is in joint first position.

0:30:06 > 0:30:12He and Barshim have had first-time clearances at every height so far.

0:30:12 > 0:30:16Grabarz has been in good form tonight.

0:30:16 > 0:30:26First failure, though.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28So, this is where experience and maturity kick in.

0:30:28 > 0:30:32They have to put that previous run out of their minds,

0:30:32 > 0:30:39even if they can't get it fully out of their legs.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43Olympic champion Elaine Thompson in four.

0:30:43 > 0:30:48Ta Lou in five.

0:30:48 > 0:30:53Good start by Elaine Thompson.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Here goes Thompson now, this will be quick!

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Watch the clock.

0:30:58 > 0:31:0210.79.

0:31:02 > 0:31:08Wow, tore them apart in the second half.

0:31:08 > 0:31:15At 50 metres, I reckon that is a lead of about a metre.

0:31:15 > 0:31:22Certainly had that one by about three metres.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25You can see why she is the Olympic 200-metre champion as well,

0:31:25 > 0:31:30beating Dafne Schippers, the world champion at 200, in Rio.

0:31:30 > 0:31:3712.78, for Elaine Thompson.

0:31:37 > 0:31:43She's setting new standards at the moment.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46She's 24, but she seems a bit younger here, Elaine Thompson.

0:31:46 > 0:31:51So good over 100 and 200.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53She looks set to dominate for the foreseeable future.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55Certainly if she is producing performances like that.

0:31:55 > 0:31:56There it is, 10.78, for Elaine Thompson,

0:31:56 > 0:31:59the Olympic champion.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03Jenna Prandini coming through strongly for that second place.

0:32:03 > 0:32:10Veronica Campbell-Brown down in sixth.

0:32:10 > 0:32:16To be a double Olympic champion is a wonderful feeling.

0:32:16 > 0:32:22For me it's just a wonderful feeling.

0:32:22 > 0:32:28The second attempt for Mutaz Essa Barshim.

0:32:32 > 0:32:33Here he goes...

0:32:33 > 0:32:37It stays...

0:32:37 > 0:32:40No it doesn't!

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Just for a second, it looked as though he had it.

0:32:43 > 0:32:50Arching his back, the back he has had so many problems with.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52Looked as though he might get away with it, but no.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55Unlike Sam Kendricks in the poll fault, he's not lucky.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57Back to the track for one of the toughest events

0:32:57 > 0:32:59in the sprinters's programme really, the 400 metre

0:32:59 > 0:33:01hurdles for the ladies.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03Another athlete with so much to prove, having not even made

0:33:03 > 0:33:09the final of the US Championships.

0:33:09 > 0:33:19Dalilah Muhammad in ninth place in the Diamond Race,

0:33:19 > 0:33:25but she has time to make up the points to catch

0:33:25 > 0:33:31up with Doyle.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42Sprunger and Tate in seven and eight.

0:33:50 > 0:33:54She has gone off very quickly, Sara Petersen.

0:33:54 > 0:34:00Eilidh Doyle in three has got off very quickly indeed.

0:34:00 > 0:34:10Petersen has got some work to do if she wants to keep

0:34:13 > 0:34:19Dalilah Muhammad at bay around here.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22The Olympic champion very much in control at the moment.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26Eilidh Doyle having a superb run in lane three.

0:34:26 > 0:34:31Only the Olympic champion ahead of her at the moment.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34Here comes Petersen, finishing strongly.

0:34:34 > 0:34:39Eilidh Doyle in second place.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42Another win for the Olympic champion, by four metres.

0:34:42 > 0:34:4453.79, Doyle, Tate and Petersen.

0:34:44 > 0:34:49That is the order, one, two, three.

0:34:49 > 0:34:59This young lady here, in 400-metre hurdling you bring

0:34:59 > 0:35:06all those elements of decent track speed, good hurdling...

0:35:06 > 0:35:09I don't think people really look at that ability

0:35:09 > 0:35:12with her but she is always so strong on the last hurdle.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16For me anyway, the time that she missed with an injury

0:35:16 > 0:35:19and things have just set her back a bit, but I think she has

0:35:19 > 0:35:21the potential to go close to the world record.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25A fair bit to spare over the others here.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Eilidh Doyle, getting ahead of Sara Petersen.

0:35:27 > 0:35:32That will certainly please her.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36For Eilidh Doyle, another very strong performance.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39A great Diamond League season for her.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42But Dalilah Muhammad is definitely the number one in the world

0:35:42 > 0:35:52and proving it yet again here.

0:35:59 > 0:36:04How does that leave things in the Diamond Race?

0:36:04 > 0:36:08Eilidh Doyle extends the gap between herself and Tate,

0:36:08 > 0:36:13with Russell a way back in third place.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16We said there were four men left in it and all four men failed twice.

0:36:16 > 0:36:172.35, Robbie Grabarz.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20Third attempt...

0:36:20 > 0:36:25No!

0:36:25 > 0:36:28He hasn't cleared 2.35 since 2012, that would have

0:36:28 > 0:36:33been something tonight!

0:36:33 > 0:36:40Nonetheless, at the moment he is still the joint leader.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44Barshim is now perfect up to 2.32, is he going to join the other three?

0:36:44 > 0:36:48Last chance, for the Olympic silver-medallist!

0:36:48 > 0:36:54And it is gold tonight for Barshim, who takes the competition with that

0:36:54 > 0:36:59last-gasp clearance.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02It's easy to forget he is the second highest jumper in history,

0:37:02 > 0:37:11with that 2.43 a couple of years ago in Brussels.

0:37:11 > 0:37:12Confirmation of that result.

0:37:12 > 0:37:152.35 from Robbie Grabarz.

0:37:15 > 0:37:22A good scalp from the Britain.

0:37:22 > 0:37:27The men's 110 metre hurdles race is a mouthwatering rerun

0:37:27 > 0:37:29of the Olympic final, with all three medallists

0:37:29 > 0:37:32on the start line.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35While Omar Mcleod was winning Jamaica's first ever 110 metre

0:37:35 > 0:37:37hurdles Olympic gold, it was also the first time

0:37:37 > 0:37:41in history that the USA didn't finish on the rostrum.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44No medals tonight, but David Oliver will be hoping to fly the flag

0:37:44 > 0:37:50for the US in this one.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54The line-up for the 110 hurdles.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59Omar Mcleod, the Olympic champion.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Orlando Ortega, the silver-medallist.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04Then the bronze-medallist, Dimitri Bascou.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09The only event here, I think I'm right in saying,

0:38:09 > 0:38:15where we have three medallists from the Olympics.

0:38:15 > 0:38:16Certainly a mouthwatering prospect.

0:38:16 > 0:38:24You add into that the former world champion, David Oliver.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26He did not make the American team.

0:38:26 > 0:38:31Martinot-Lagarde himself was close.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34Plenty to look forward to here.

0:38:34 > 0:38:39Mcleod in lane four, Ortega in five.

0:38:46 > 0:38:51Cleanly away this time and Mcleod gets a very good start,

0:38:51 > 0:38:58Dimitri Bascou going well as well.

0:38:58 > 0:38:59Right through the middle, Ortega gets it!

0:38:59 > 0:39:06From Omar Mcleod.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09It was only the last two flights of hurdles that Ortega and Mcleod

0:39:09 > 0:39:11got themselves in front of the two Frenchman,

0:39:11 > 0:39:15who started so well.

0:39:15 > 0:39:20Ortega is able to turn the tables

0:39:20 > 0:39:21on the Olympic champion.

0:39:21 > 0:39:2313.11.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25A good race and a good performance from Ortega,

0:39:25 > 0:39:32not too far off is season's best.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35Mcleod just a hundredth of a second behind.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38I thought Mcleod got out really well, Ortega down a little

0:39:38 > 0:39:41bit at this stage.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43David Oliver struggling to go with these youngsters.

0:39:43 > 0:39:48Dimitri Bascou came up alongside him and then Ortega between them,

0:39:48 > 0:39:52just a little bit stronger at off that final barrier.

0:39:52 > 0:39:58I thought Mcleod would go clear after the tenth hurdle.

0:39:58 > 0:40:05He is a sub ten second man on the flat!

0:40:05 > 0:40:12Just a hundredth of a second, this time, takes the win.

0:40:12 > 0:40:19Belocian's personal-best, in fourth.

0:40:19 > 0:40:25The penultimate event of the evening, the men's 1,000 metres.

0:40:25 > 0:40:34What a strong field it is.

0:40:34 > 0:40:40Asbel Kiprop, so disappointing by his standards, finishing

0:40:41 > 0:40:43fifth in the Rio 1500.

0:40:43 > 0:40:53Ayanleh Souleiman, the record-holder, goes in this field.

0:40:53 > 0:40:54Only three men have ever gone below 2.13.

0:40:54 > 0:40:59Steve Cram is one of them, alongside me.

0:40:59 > 0:41:04They are looking for 53 seconds flat here for the first 400.

0:41:04 > 0:41:09It needs to be quick.

0:41:09 > 0:41:19It looks to me like Rotich has gone off a bit on the slow side.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23Interested to see if Kiprop can bounce back, the 2008

0:41:23 > 0:41:29Olympic champion.

0:41:29 > 0:41:33Kwemoi back in last place in the final in the 1500.

0:41:33 > 0:41:39It's an awkward race to get right.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43I think 1500 metre runners have to attack this a bit more.

0:41:43 > 0:41:44They have that strength.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47I'm surprised they're not going through quicker,

0:41:47 > 0:41:57Kiprop went through fast, see how far back he is.

0:41:58 > 0:42:06There he is in the blue.

0:42:06 > 0:42:14Matthew Centrowitz is getting close now, as they go to the bell.

0:42:14 > 0:42:20It is Souleman really going for this one.

0:42:31 > 0:42:36He is an aggressive runner.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39He's not worried about elbowing and contact.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Kitilit is hanging onto it.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44The gap is closing.

0:42:44 > 0:42:48Behind them, there is a big, big gap.

0:42:48 > 0:42:56Still Lewandowski in fourth place.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59The strength of the 1500 metre man tells now with Kitilit.

0:42:59 > 0:43:00They are all struggling here.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03Kiprop coming through for fourth place.

0:43:03 > 0:43:07Souleman takes it, and the time was quick.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09It is a new meeting record.

0:43:09 > 0:43:15One of the quickest times in history.

0:43:15 > 0:43:19The fifth fastest time ever, by Souleman.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22Consolation of sorts for just finishing outside the medals in Rio.

0:43:22 > 0:43:28Souleman had a go and he got himself into it.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31Centrowitz in sixth place in setting a personal best.

0:43:31 > 0:43:38Kipkoech, a personal best.

0:43:38 > 0:43:47Lewandowski, a Polish national record.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50Centrowitz down in sixth place.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54I think he can be excused that moderate run by his standards,

0:43:54 > 0:43:58although a pretty big personal-best, I must say.

0:43:58 > 0:44:07We take a look at Klishina in the long jump.

0:44:10 > 0:44:17Klishina the only Russian competing at the Olympic Games in Rio.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19It wasn't a great night for the Americans,

0:44:19 > 0:44:21finishing in fifth place.

0:44:21 > 0:44:29Klishina rounding up to 6.50.

0:44:29 > 0:44:32Her coach, Lauren Seagrove, has managed her so well,

0:44:32 > 0:44:38down there in Florida.

0:44:38 > 0:44:43Lorraine Ugen, Steve, in good form.

0:44:43 > 0:44:44But a week or so too late.

0:44:44 > 0:44:4511th at the Games.

0:44:45 > 0:44:49This was her second round effort.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51A good one it was, also.

0:44:51 > 0:44:55All the way out there to 6.71.

0:44:55 > 0:45:05She might have had another one.

0:45:06 > 0:45:16Ivana Spanovic, a wonderful year for her.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19Twice a World Championships bronze-medallist, now an Olympics

0:45:19 > 0:45:25bronze-medallist after Rio, her best coming in the second round.

0:45:25 > 0:45:34That 6.83 took the win.

0:45:34 > 0:45:40She passed her second and third rounds, possibly due to fatigue.

0:45:40 > 0:45:44Still one track event, the 200 metres.

0:45:44 > 0:45:48We have a withdrawal, Aaron Brown.

0:45:48 > 0:45:53The very talented Canadian is, sadly, not starting.

0:45:53 > 0:45:57So a big opportunity for the likes of Reece Prescod

0:45:57 > 0:46:02Prescott of Great Britain.

0:46:02 > 0:46:03Christophe Lemaitre got the nod in Rio.

0:46:03 > 0:46:10Martina just missed out.

0:46:13 > 0:46:15It all came down to thousandths of a second.

0:46:20 > 0:46:24A good start by Alonso Edward.

0:46:24 > 0:46:30Tsakonas is trying to keep going.

0:46:30 > 0:46:35Churandy Martina is trying to forge a way.

0:46:35 > 0:46:37He manages to do it.

0:46:37 > 0:46:39Martina gets it.

0:46:39 > 0:46:4419.83, well, well!

0:46:44 > 0:46:54It is a new personal best and a new national record.

0:46:55 > 0:46:59He beats what he ran in 2012 here, by two hundredths of a second.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01He absolutely loves it here.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04Alonso Edward inside 20 seconds as well.

0:47:04 > 0:47:12Taken down a hundredth, 19.81.

0:47:24 > 0:47:27A new personal best for Reece Prescod.

0:47:27 > 0:47:29There were, understandably, some tired arms and legs

0:47:29 > 0:47:34in Lausanne, but there were some standout performances.

0:47:34 > 0:47:38Elaine Thompson perhaps had more reason to be tired than others,

0:47:38 > 0:47:41with her two golds and a silver in Rio, but she still produced

0:47:41 > 0:47:47an incrediblly fast 100 metres win.

0:47:47 > 0:47:57Three medal hopefuls were disappointed in Rio from Team

0:47:59 > 0:48:01GB, but they produced some very good second places here,

0:48:01 > 0:48:03Eilidh Doyle and Robbie Grabarz looking in great form,

0:48:03 > 0:48:06and Lorraine Ugen with a good second in the high jump.

0:48:06 > 0:48:08Our current crop of sprinters might have something to think about.

0:48:08 > 0:48:12Joel Fearon got a fine third in the 100 metres.

0:48:12 > 0:48:17And young Reece Prescod, a big 200 personal best tonight,

0:48:17 > 0:48:20he will go away very, very happy.

0:48:20 > 0:48:24Rio is over, but we move on.

0:48:24 > 0:48:34STUDIO: That is it from Lausanne.
