:00:47. > :00:54.Hello and welcome to highlights from the Oslo Diamond League. The Bislett
:00:55. > :00:57.games is one of the jewels in the crown for athletics and we have so
:00:58. > :01:06.many great memories from over the years. A new world record for Great
:01:07. > :01:19.Britain and Sebastian Coe. Steve over, the supreme race. -- Ovett.
:01:20. > :01:31.The world record goes. Steve Cram. That was a sensational piece of
:01:32. > :01:37.running. Yes, he has got it. 85 metres!
:01:38. > :01:47.Bolt coming through! You will remember that moment.
:01:48. > :01:58.She has taken the world record! Oslo has been renowned for world records
:01:59. > :02:04.since the Bislett games began in 19 626. The crowd is tight at the track
:02:05. > :02:08.creating one of the best and is phase in athletics. Your
:02:09. > :02:12.commentators are Stuart Storey and Tim Hudgins. COMMENTATOR: Heatwave
:02:13. > :02:18.here in the last ten days but the cloud has come overhead and the
:02:19. > :02:22.temperature at 14, 34% humidity, conditions pretty good but as I say
:02:23. > :02:27.that there are some dark clouds coming over the stadium. I hope we
:02:28. > :02:34.do not get any rain. The first event on the track was the men's 400-metre
:02:35. > :02:43.hurdles. Yes, the line-up, five finalists from last year at the
:02:44. > :02:51.World Championships. Michael Tinsley the leader at the moment. Yasmani
:02:52. > :03:00.Copello of Turkey, former Cuban, 29 years old. Sixth in Beijing last
:03:01. > :03:03.year. Nicholas Bett, reigning world champion from Kenya, my word, some
:03:04. > :03:08.strange results last year in Beijing in this discipline. Many big names
:03:09. > :03:15.failing to make it through to the final. Michael Tinsley in Lane 5, he
:03:16. > :03:19.won in Shanghai and Eugene. Silver-medallists in Moscow in 2013
:03:20. > :03:25.but only eighth last year. He is in good form. Nicholas Bett, reigning
:03:26. > :03:51.world champion, in Lane 4. Despite the noise in the arena they
:03:52. > :03:55.are underway without any problems. First to rise probably Copello on
:03:56. > :04:03.the inside. Going very well is Tinsley in the white top. In Lane 5.
:04:04. > :04:06.Living very strongly alongside the men outside him, Clement in six also
:04:07. > :04:14.going aggressively. Culson on the outside. Around the crown of the
:04:15. > :04:17.bend. Past the water jump. Culson leading at the moment, running
:04:18. > :04:22.blind, running scared, perhaps, try to make up for some very mediocre
:04:23. > :04:27.form. Has he got it down the home straight? It is such a tough event.
:04:28. > :04:33.Brilliant running from Copello on the inside. He is isolated, so is
:04:34. > :04:39.Culson. And here comes Tinsley. Copello in Lane 1! He takes it. From
:04:40. > :04:47.Tinsley. I think Culson taking third. 48.81, season 's best,
:04:48. > :04:51.unofficially. I think there is a fair bit of extra regression packed
:04:52. > :04:54.into that punch because he will have been disappointed with the lane
:04:55. > :05:02.draw. He is a huge character, making it tougher. 1.96, six foot five,
:05:03. > :05:07.Lane 1. About the worst lane he could have been given. Certainly
:05:08. > :05:11.Tinsley ran a very good race once again and Culson did run a very fast
:05:12. > :05:15.300 and was trying desperately to hang on. Copello on a very tight
:05:16. > :05:24.inside lane, terrific performance from him to go under nine
:05:25. > :05:37.. Once again the world champion absolutely nowhere. -- under 49.
:05:38. > :05:42.Nicholas Bett really struggling, how on earth did he run under 48 seconds
:05:43. > :05:48.and win the world title? Nevertheless, on the inside, Copello
:05:49. > :05:53.of Turkey. Superb use of finishing. -- superb piece of finishing.
:05:54. > :05:56.Confirmation of the win for Copello, season 's best and for Javier Culson
:05:57. > :06:07.as well. Coming up, Dafne Schippers continues
:06:08. > :06:12.her Olympic countdown as she takes on world silver-medallist Elaine
:06:13. > :06:18.Thompson over 200 metres. The pole vault world record-holder Renner
:06:19. > :06:24.Lavillenie will be challenged again by reigning world champion Shawn
:06:25. > :06:30.Barber. -- Renaud Lavillenie. Kenya's Asbel Kiprop goes for a
:06:31. > :06:33.Fifita as Charlie Grice tries to maintain his good start to the
:06:34. > :06:38.season. And the women's mile features Laura Moore back on the
:06:39. > :06:50.track where she ran believed a 12 months ago. This is a good shot put
:06:51. > :07:02.competition. Only a youngster, this pole. This is the supreme opener.
:07:03. > :07:10.World junior record in January this year. He knew it was good. Appear
:07:11. > :07:20.against one another on, Joe Kovacs of the USA. He really likes that
:07:21. > :07:28.one. He is a monstrously scaled man. Really sound opener. The pole vault,
:07:29. > :07:40.second attempt, world champion in 2011. That is nice as well. Season
:07:41. > :07:48.'s best of 5.7 one. He can go beyond this yet. -- five .71. Shawn Barber
:07:49. > :07:52.as well in accommodation, reigning world champion. Renaud Lavillenie
:07:53. > :08:05.yet to come in. 5.65 his opening height. Wojciechowski, there it is.
:08:06. > :08:10.Later on, the 200 metres, the Dutch woman who became world champion,
:08:11. > :08:16.Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands. In the 200 metres. That is much
:08:17. > :08:26.anticipated, against Elaine Thompson of Jamaica. Now Joe Kovacs of the
:08:27. > :08:29.United States. 22.13 in Eugene. Wonderful World Championship last
:08:30. > :08:36.year, winning the title. He is a protector. His personal best was
:08:37. > :08:39.last year, 22.50 six. He gets underneath beautifully and once the
:08:40. > :08:47.timing is right, that is a roundabout would you metres. He
:08:48. > :08:51.really moves well. -- roundabout 21 metres. He uses all the machinery he
:08:52. > :08:57.has got, plenty of that musculature will stop. In second place at the
:08:58. > :09:01.moment. That is the start list for the
:09:02. > :09:26.women's 400 metres. On the inside, the Norwegian, Line
:09:27. > :09:29.Kloster. 53.97 her best this season, a little bit faster a couple of
:09:30. > :09:40.seasons ago. She has a tight inside lane. Onuora got a bronze medal in
:09:41. > :09:47.the relay last year and the World Championships. She has a 51.55
:09:48. > :09:51.seasons best, in Birmingham. And Morgan Mitchell, 51.25 in
:09:52. > :10:02.Birmingham, that represented a personal best. She goes back to
:10:03. > :10:08.Australia after Geneva, I am told. MacPherson of Jamaica. -- Stephanie
:10:09. > :10:15.McKenzie. She is the Commonwealth champion. And outside her, Natasha
:10:16. > :10:23.Hastings of the United States. Also a personal best in Eugene, she is a
:10:24. > :10:34.sub 50 competitor at her best. Then Williams-Mills. Third in the saga in
:10:35. > :10:47.2007, leading with ten metres to and was beaten. Marie Gayot is European
:10:48. > :10:57.champion. 51.52 this season. The women's 400 metres.
:10:58. > :11:00.Certainly Hastings has gone off very quickly indeed and on the outside
:11:01. > :11:14.Mere Hastings and Williams-Mills running
:11:15. > :11:18.closely together. McPherson has work to do and on the inside, Onuora of
:11:19. > :11:24.Great Britain has a lot to do as they come into the home straight.
:11:25. > :11:31.Grenot of France absolutely flying around this bend. The rest have got
:11:32. > :11:38.work to do to catch her. Onuora coming strongly in the final stages.
:11:39. > :11:42.Hastings being run down now by McPherson, who has had a strong
:11:43. > :11:45.second half of the race. McPherson will come through with Hastings in
:11:46. > :11:54.second place and in third place in the sixth lane was Novlene
:11:55. > :11:58.Williams-Mills. McPherson at 51.06. Good powerful piece of running by
:11:59. > :12:04.her. She was controlled in the first 200 metres and between 200 and 300
:12:05. > :12:08.put herself in position to attack. Was not fazed in the first half of
:12:09. > :12:14.the race but certainly looked pretty strong in the second half. It was
:12:15. > :12:22.very even with 90 metres left, McPherson, rocking from side to
:12:23. > :12:25.side. Hastings tried to come back. Onuora holds on very well
:12:26. > :12:27.considering she looks like she is dying badly on the far side to take
:12:28. > :12:54.fourth place. Around for, Bukowiecki. -- round
:12:55. > :12:58.four. That is big. And he knows it is good. Isn't he letting everybody
:12:59. > :13:05.else know. His season 's best and personal best of 21.01 at the end of
:13:06. > :13:12.May. I think he might have thrown better. I think that is a personal
:13:13. > :13:18.best. He is a monstrous fella, imagine feeding him breakfast every
:13:19. > :13:27.morning. Well under 20, junior record for Bukowiecki. Here is
:13:28. > :13:37.Wojciechowski. This for the Pole would give him a separate lead from
:13:38. > :13:47.the rest of them. Yes, he wriggles over that one somewhat awkwardly.
:13:48. > :13:57.Born in Bydgoszcz, big fella. Around six foot three. Looks to have plenty
:13:58. > :14:04.of height. Third in Eugene. In his last competition in his hometown he
:14:05. > :14:05.was only third, a few days ago. Already going better tonight and he
:14:06. > :14:17.has the lead. Well Mr Lavillenie comes into the
:14:18. > :14:25.pole vault for the first time. Such is his confidence. I hope it works
:14:26. > :14:30.for him. Oh! Ooh! That can be dangerous. Sometimes they get it
:14:31. > :14:36.wrong and even the best in the world get it wrong. He is a six metre
:14:37. > :14:40.vaulter, but he pulled out of that half way. It is always a problem
:14:41. > :14:44.where you land. You don't want to land with your feet and ankles in
:14:45. > :14:56.that box. So that is a failure that he won't enjoy. Joe Kovacs, Round 5
:14:57. > :15:01.for him. Konrad Bukowiecki the first man to hit that territory beyond 21
:15:02. > :15:11.metres. How can the American respond? Well that looks big as
:15:12. > :15:16.well. That looks huge from Kovacs. Gets the white flag. That is why
:15:17. > :15:22.beyond 21 metres and Konrad Bukowiecki's been shunted down to
:15:23. > :15:33.second place surely. 20.45 in Round 4 for Kovacs, his best to today
:15:34. > :15:39.20.73. That is 21.51, as if to slap the youngster back into second place
:15:40. > :15:50.and say, learn your place! The men's javelin could be one of the best
:15:51. > :15:59.events at the Olympics. Yego learned how to do it on YouTube. Thomas
:16:00. > :16:08.Rohler is the leading thrower this year. And Abdelrahman laid down a
:16:09. > :16:20.big marker in Eugene. The first throw in the men's javelin.
:16:21. > :16:32.This event is wide-open. He hits that one hard. That is near 87. That
:16:33. > :16:41.is a very good opener. Fabulous opener. He really got behind that.
:16:42. > :16:50.The world lead you can see in that graphic. That is going to be a
:16:51. > :16:56.personal best I'm sure. It is. 87.11 for Vetter. That is some
:16:57. > :17:02.improvement. His personal best was 85.40. I wonder whether we are going
:17:03. > :17:09.to see some big throws from the bigger names in this. Yego the world
:17:10. > :17:16.champion is here. Abdelrahman is here. Rohler, a finalist in the
:17:17. > :17:27.javelin. He is an 89-metre thrower at his best. He has best of season
:17:28. > :17:34.of 87.91. That is around, well just short of 85 metres. And all of a
:17:35. > :17:40.sudden, Vetter has put the real pressure on at 87.11 and a new
:17:41. > :17:52.personal best. Rohler, well, we will see. The big names are yet to come.
:17:53. > :17:59.Kovacs got back first place from the youngster Konrad Bukowiecki. He has
:18:00. > :18:05.got the win in the bag. That is bigger still. That is huge from
:18:06. > :18:14.Kovacs. The world No 1, the reigning world champion, his season's best,
:18:15. > :18:19.22.13. His lifetime best 22.56 in Monaco last year. That from Kovacs,
:18:20. > :18:28.he knows it is right. He knows he has hit a big one there. He was only
:18:29. > :18:40.third in Shanghai and won in Eugene in 22.13. He has indeed got better
:18:41. > :18:46.as the competition has worn on. He is very fast and has such strength
:18:47. > :18:51.and that result, another 22-metre throw.
:18:52. > :18:57.A world under 20 record for Konrad Bukowiecki in second place. Another
:18:58. > :19:07.Polish shot putter coming through the ranks.
:19:08. > :19:21.What a field this is. 18 starters, the world No one Edris goes. No Mo
:19:22. > :19:27.Farah, he won the 10,000 a couple of week back and set a British record
:19:28. > :19:30.for 3,000 on Sunday. He is happy with the way his season is
:19:31. > :19:40.unfolding. They will see seven laps to go this time. They have gone
:19:41. > :19:49.through 2,000 in 5:20.31. It is pedestrian stuff for men of this
:19:50. > :19:54.calibre. Koech is the eighth fastest man in history. But he was only
:19:55. > :19:58.ninth recently. He was only eighth in the world indoors. His recent
:19:59. > :20:12.races haven't been confidence-boosting. The two pace
:20:13. > :20:18.makers lead from Koech. As they approach half way, all the racing
:20:19. > :20:27.yet to come. Frankly men of this calibre, you could almost call it
:20:28. > :20:35.jogging for them. Shaun Barber, second attempt. Second place.
:20:36. > :20:44.That is better. Yes, he made it. He had to work hard at the top of the
:20:45. > :20:48.pole, but he got it right that time. Perfect rhythm and timing. His
:20:49. > :20:52.approach was very quick. It has to be positive. Any little question
:20:53. > :21:08.mark in the mind as you come into that plant and it just does not
:21:09. > :21:16.work. So Barber second place 5.65. This final attempt. That is better.
:21:17. > :21:21.Not too often you see him celebrating like that. But it was
:21:22. > :21:28.his opening height. He had to get that one right. Pawel Wojciechowski
:21:29. > :21:35.clearing it first time. Barber cleared it the second time of
:21:36. > :21:41.asking. Lavillenie has cleared it. Now it starts with a clean slate,
:21:42. > :21:48.although that is their order. Lavillenie down in third. Three,
:21:49. > :22:11.four abreast into this lap with three laps to run. It will be a
:22:12. > :22:22.tasty last kilometre. Looking for Iguider. 2.40 fourth kilometre, the
:22:23. > :22:36.pace maker is thinking I may as well keep going. It is going to turn into
:22:37. > :22:48.a mile. Yes this is where the race starts. A couple of laps to go. Just
:22:49. > :22:57.under two to run. Iguider is a great racer. He is tactically aware. 700
:22:58. > :23:04.metres to run. He is cruising. Able to respond to any attack from the
:23:05. > :23:09.outside. Down the back straight. Edris is in sixth. Still moving
:23:10. > :23:16.well. Lap and a half to run. I still get the feeling that Iguider has not
:23:17. > :23:24.even broken sweat. Gebrhiwet in second. Koech back in seventh.
:23:25. > :23:28.Ibrahimov looks like he is struggling. They come around for the
:23:29. > :23:36.penultimate time. It is three or four abreast again. Iguider,
:23:37. > :23:41.Gebrhiwet and Iguider allowing bodies to come past and that is
:23:42. > :23:53.naive. They still haven't hit top gear. They have 400 metres to run.
:23:54. > :24:03.Gebrhiwet from degel Cha. - degel Cha. Into the back striegt. Kejelcha
:24:04. > :24:10.with those long legs. Rangy runner that he is. 250 to run. Gebrhiwet is
:24:11. > :24:17.in a good position. Edris, the world No 1 in third. Struggling to stay
:24:18. > :24:25.with this. Iguider comes now. These four are well aware. Gebrhiwet and
:24:26. > :24:30.Kejelcha who still looks like he has another gear. On the inside
:24:31. > :24:39.Gebrhiwet drives for home. Edris gritting his teeth. Iguider has
:24:40. > :24:48.misjudged this. Gebrhiwet takes it from Edris and Kejelcha. Koech is in
:24:49. > :24:51.in fifth. The last lap 54 seconds exactly and I suspect, I don't know,
:24:52. > :24:55.but I suspect Mo Farah would have been watching that with a wry smile,
:24:56. > :25:01.thinking is that the best you have got? In pretty good racing
:25:02. > :25:09.conditions I have to say, 54 second last lap. 13.07. The splits were so
:25:10. > :25:19.slow for men of this calibre. Even the penultimate lap was not quick.
:25:20. > :25:21.No one tested the field. There was nothing there to intimidate Mo
:25:22. > :25:51.Farah. That is what it means to him! That
:25:52. > :26:01.is good. He has just done what he does best. What does it have in
:26:02. > :26:12.store for us this year? Oh, that is a huge jump. It is a perfect day.
:26:13. > :26:16.The women's long jump now. Shara Proctor, the UK record holder. Had a
:26:17. > :26:26.disappointing last outing and needs for her confidence to get back with
:26:27. > :26:31.a decent jump here. And what target can she set? Quick on the runway.
:26:32. > :26:37.Very simple technique. That is better than last time out. She has
:26:38. > :26:44.got the white flag. Hits the board well. Very basic and simple
:26:45. > :26:52.technique. 6.66. That is the target for the rest. Into a slight head
:26:53. > :26:57.wind. Back to the vault, Lavillenie put himself under pressure. 5.73,
:26:58. > :27:06.first attempt for the Frenchman. That is better. Normal service
:27:07. > :27:10.resumed. I can tell you that Shaun Barber failed his first attempt.
:27:11. > :27:18.Pawel Wojciechowski passing at this height, which seems a little brave
:27:19. > :27:26.when his season's best is 5.71. The next height is 5.80. That wasn't the
:27:27. > :27:35.cleanest of vaults. Now the card is beginning to regain respectability
:27:36. > :27:42.and a smile back on his features. Thomas Rohler, third place, 84.71.
:27:43. > :27:47.Leads the Diamond race this season. Needs a big throw. He has hit that
:27:48. > :27:52.one hard. That is going out there. Oh, that is close to 90 metres! That
:27:53. > :28:05.is the lead by a long way. Wow! Did he hit that? Rohler. Fourth in
:28:06. > :28:15.Beijing last year with 87.41, I tell you what a new personal best and a
:28:16. > :28:24.world lead. Back too Barber in the pole vault. Even if he clears this,
:28:25. > :28:32.having seen Lavillenie go clear, he will not only move into second
:28:33. > :28:38.place. He would leapfrog Pawel Wojciechowski. Who bizarrely I
:28:39. > :28:45.think, passing at this height. Oh, squeezes over that one. There wasn't
:28:46. > :28:52.a lot of daylight to spare. The big upset last year was his victory in
:28:53. > :28:56.Beijing of course. Lavillenie doesn't need reminding, but he has
:28:57. > :28:59.yet to win a world outdoor discipline, although he has
:29:00. > :29:13.dominated for five or six years and he has that out and out world record
:29:14. > :29:19.of 6.16 from three years ago. Here is Christabel Nettey. That looks
:29:20. > :29:30.pretty good. That looked better perhaps. Shara Proctor 6.66 was the
:29:31. > :29:34.leader after the first round. That is a solid opener from the
:29:35. > :29:45.silver-medallist from Great Britain. But Nettey very close to a similar
:29:46. > :29:52.sort of mark. She opened with 6.61. Pan Am games champion last year. Now
:29:53. > :29:57.count back therefore she is taking the lead from Shara Proctor. On the
:29:58. > :30:04.basis of second best jump being better. The hurdles are out. There
:30:05. > :30:20.is the line-up. Pearson of Australia and Pedersen.
:30:21. > :30:26.A close only is after breaking her wrist. All about confidence at the
:30:27. > :30:31.moment. Seventh in Birmingham but she will come back slowly but
:30:32. > :30:39.surely. Harper-Nelson was Olympic champion in 2008. Silver-medallist
:30:40. > :30:51.in London. She was fourth in Birmingham. Talay was European
:30:52. > :31:09.champion in 2012. Watch out for Brianna Rollins.
:31:10. > :31:20.Tiffany Porter is United Kingdom record-holder. Looking to get back
:31:21. > :31:34.to her best. The world league of course Harrison at 12.24 in Eugene,
:31:35. > :31:40.just outside world record. Talay, I wonder if Talay it was in the fourth
:31:41. > :31:49.name, from Belarus. Unless someone is moved before. There she is in the
:31:50. > :31:58.fourth lane. Unless there is a technical problem. She will be red
:31:59. > :32:08.carded on man. -- on that. Yes, Talay has gone.
:32:09. > :32:15.No problem with the start this time and already Rollins going very
:32:16. > :32:21.strongly. Porter going well this time. Harper-Nelson also going well.
:32:22. > :32:25.Rollins away with this, Harper-Nelson second and scours in
:32:26. > :32:35.third place. Pretty good run once again. By Brianna Rollins. She is
:32:36. > :32:40.pretty consistent this season. -- Stour Stowers in their place. In the
:32:41. > :32:49.sense that went with the form but, better from Dawn Harper-Nelson.
:32:50. > :32:56.Seasons best in second place. Stowers in third. Still looking for
:32:57. > :33:00.the sort of form that occurred to 12.35 last season. Brilliant start
:33:01. > :33:06.from Rollins, she never gave anybody else a chance. I was impressed with
:33:07. > :33:14.her speed of feed before the final barrier, first barrier, I should
:33:15. > :33:27.say. That is a big winning margin. The result of hurdles race.
:33:28. > :33:39.Over to the long jump, Spanovic keeping her times on sensibly.
:33:40. > :33:47.Bronze-medallist at the last two World Championships. Really
:33:48. > :33:56.consistent jumper. Fair bit of stuttering before the board. Not the
:33:57. > :34:04.neatest effort. She is a seven-metre jumper, and Zurich last year.
:34:05. > :34:10.National record of course, her personal best. Second in the world
:34:11. > :34:18.indoors. Came off the winter really well and that is a good jump. The
:34:19. > :34:27.men's javelin is still in progress. Walcott in third place. Now, not
:34:28. > :34:33.happy so far. He has hit at one well. He got his arm well into that
:34:34. > :34:40.and that is about, 86 metres, he really hits the lead leg and really
:34:41. > :34:46.works against it and over it and gets the delayed hand containing the
:34:47. > :34:52.javelin over as long range as possible. The is all right. Well,
:34:53. > :35:06.not happy, but the seasons best. Still in third. Back on the track,
:35:07. > :35:15.the men's 100 metres. King: is turning into a living legend. Well
:35:16. > :35:28.into his 40th year now. In great form. 9.93 he produced in Germany at
:35:29. > :35:32.the end of May. Mike Rodgers goes in lane form. Sixth in the indoor is
:35:33. > :35:41.over 60 metres. Always very competitive, another prolific race,
:35:42. > :35:54.the graphs in Lane 5. -- Andre de Grasse.
:35:55. > :36:02.Really good start from Collins, they are chasing him hard. Rodgers coming
:36:03. > :36:08.back but now they are not going to get him. Collins is injured! De
:36:09. > :36:13.Grasse takes it and Collins has gone down injured, that is a real shame.
:36:14. > :36:20.He has hobbled across the line. Old Father Time catching up with Kim
:36:21. > :36:24.Collins at last. He has defied the clock year after year after year
:36:25. > :36:30.that he is in real pain. That is such a shame. He has been in
:36:31. > :36:34.fabulous form of late. Personal-best 9.93, defying all the laws of
:36:35. > :36:41.physiology and physics and chemistry and any other thing I can think of.
:36:42. > :36:50.Murphy's Law has got into night. On a cool night in Oslo. That may well
:36:51. > :36:55.be the season for Kim Collins. He is holding his groin. Let's hope it is
:36:56. > :37:00.not much more than can. He was super, then it went. Winning so
:37:01. > :37:05.comfortably. Locke on the inside was going well until he was overtaken by
:37:06. > :37:20.de Grasse and Mike Rodgers. That is a grimace and a half.
:37:21. > :37:25.The pole vault still going on at the far end of the stadium. Second
:37:26. > :37:50.attempt for liver Lavillenie. Second attempt at 5.80.
:37:51. > :37:55.Yes! Yes! Well, Lavillenie really takes chances but at the end of the
:37:56. > :37:59.day he does come out with the success we associate with him. More
:38:00. > :38:08.Diamond League wins than anyone else. The Olympic champion will
:38:09. > :38:15.defend his title this year. A good season thus far, shakes his head
:38:16. > :38:19.because of that, but he has got up to 5.80, very respectable indeed.
:38:20. > :38:30.Friendly nod from the world champion. That was the indicator
:38:31. > :38:41.telling you that of course Rohler has won the javelin. What a good
:38:42. > :38:54.performance. World leading throw, Johannes Vetter was leading for a
:38:55. > :39:01.long time. The line-up for the Dream Mile. What a race this from
:39:02. > :39:08.suitably. Terrific history. Charlie Grice of Great Britain having a very
:39:09. > :39:17.good season indeed. Asbel Kiprop of Kenya. Really dominant this season.
:39:18. > :39:25.In a race that has such a history. Two world records broken in this
:39:26. > :39:33.race over the years, one by Steve Cram, 3:46.32. Steve Ovett in 1980,
:39:34. > :39:37.3.48 point 08. This is one of those races you look back in the history
:39:38. > :39:45.books and it is although. Asbel Kiprop, unbeaten this year. Really
:39:46. > :39:56.looked so comfortable thus far. Still has to run the sort of times I
:39:57. > :40:01.have mentioned thus far. The pacemakers, Commonwealth champion at
:40:02. > :40:19.5000 metres, Kipling -- my Kiprop looks so comfortable. Really
:40:20. > :40:25.working hard on those pacemakers, Magut and Rotich. A bit of a gap
:40:26. > :40:34.already. The Olympic champion leading the second group, Makhloufi.
:40:35. > :40:41.Kiprop won here last year, 2011, and 2012. Going for his fifth win here.
:40:42. > :40:46.More than anything else he would like the Olympic title this year. He
:40:47. > :40:50.has said the time is not important. Already on record saying he will not
:40:51. > :41:01.be chasing any fast time this year, it is all about Rio. Robert Blair.
:41:02. > :41:13.-- Robert Biwott leading the second group. Manangoi was silver-medallist
:41:14. > :41:24.last year. Has got confidence from winning in Rome. Ingebritsen,
:41:25. > :41:33.incidentally, the 15-year-old ran 3.42 earlier today. Astonishing
:41:34. > :41:39.junior record, at the age of 15, freakish if you asked me. Look at
:41:40. > :41:43.the Gap, the way it is opening up. Nobody prepared to go with it.
:41:44. > :41:50.Kiprop building up the Big Apple and we have already seen that this
:41:51. > :41:55.season couple of times. This is a serious attempt at some fast times
:41:56. > :42:01.from Asbel Kiprop. Was not able to defend his Olympic title in 2012, he
:42:02. > :42:05.was injured. Three times a world champion. Showing unbelievable class
:42:06. > :42:09.now down the back straight and the pacemaking has been good, Magut as I
:42:10. > :42:16.said is Commonwealth champion. He has got a 3:56 to his credit this
:42:17. > :42:22.season and he is really motoring. Kiprop just off the back, no longer,
:42:23. > :42:30.he is on his own. Everybody else watching each other, they have given
:42:31. > :42:38.up chasing Kiprop. Charlie Grice can run 3.52, as he did three weeks ago
:42:39. > :42:43.but Kiprop now has lost interest in the pacemaker. I think these are
:42:44. > :42:48.signs of him wanting to keep his powder dry for later in the season.
:42:49. > :42:52.One lap to go for Asbel Kiprop. Ingebritsens in that group with
:42:53. > :42:59.Charlie Grice of Great Britain. They are all there. Makhloufi is there.
:43:00. > :43:04.They are making inroads into the lead on Asbel Kiprop. He is running
:43:05. > :43:09.it how he likes. Absolutely superb piece of running down the back
:43:10. > :43:13.straight. A look over his shoulder. The rest are sprinting towards him
:43:14. > :43:19.as they approached 200 metres to go. Ingebritsen there as well. This is
:43:20. > :43:25.going to be a very, very fast run in the by Kiprop, as you would expect.
:43:26. > :43:35.Just about 150, to go. Kiprop now coming through. Makhloufi in second
:43:36. > :43:43.place. Ingebritsen in fourth as they raced down the street. They have
:43:44. > :43:46.closed down on him, certainly. Manangoi in second place. I'd tell
:43:47. > :43:53.you what, they were all charging. Willis was there. 3:51.49, I have to
:43:54. > :43:58.say I agree with you, keeping his powder dry. He let the pace go at
:43:59. > :44:06.the end and just ran the race. Out on his own. Wasn't simply majestic.
:44:07. > :44:07.He looked so easy. They did close on him. Makhloufi was going well. They
:44:08. > :44:37.really didn't race him. The fourth round of the long jump.
:44:38. > :44:49.In third place, Christabel Nettey. 6.66 her best. Looking to go beyond
:44:50. > :44:54.the Spanovic lead. They have all got the warmers on. So it indicates the
:44:55. > :45:02.temperature has dropped down there. It is a white flag. What has she
:45:03. > :45:12.got. Perfect on board. Good lift. A bit of backward rotation in the end.
:45:13. > :45:16.But not bad. Now what has she got? Third place it is 6.68. She moves up
:45:17. > :45:35.a place. Dafne Schippers finished second in
:45:36. > :45:41.Birmingham last week. Now she takes on the 200 in Oslo and a rematch
:45:42. > :45:48.with Elaine Thompson. The pair finished first and second at last
:45:49. > :45:54.year's World Championships. It is going to be Schippers. There is
:45:55. > :46:15.Schippers in the middle. Williams of Britain is going in 2.
:46:16. > :46:20.There is Elaine Thompson, in really good form, the silver-medallist in
:46:21. > :46:29.the World Championship. This is some match up between her and Dafne
:46:30. > :46:35.Schippers. Thompson is faster than Schippers over 100, but Schippers in
:46:36. > :46:47.fabulous form already. We know that. There is Jodie Williams, common
:46:48. > :46:57.wealth silver-medallist in 2014. Well she won the Manchester city
:46:58. > :47:00.centre race. Then won in 22.02. Very quick in front of the home crowd in
:47:01. > :47:17.far from ideal conditions. Watch Thompson in 6. Good start from
:47:18. > :47:24.Schippers. One of the best starts for a while. Facie going well.
:47:25. > :47:30.Schippers is up on the field and on the shoulder of Elaine Thompson. Has
:47:31. > :47:35.a good lead. Watch the clock. She is going away with every stride.
:47:36. > :47:47.Thompson will be well beaten, although she will take second.
:47:48. > :47:55.21.94. The meeting record went. Will that be confirmed? Or rounded down.
:47:56. > :48:00.It is back to 94. They will be looking at that photo finish very
:48:01. > :48:04.carefully indeed. That was a real exhibition run from Schippers who
:48:05. > :48:09.had a fabulous start. I said earlier, it has been her Achilles
:48:10. > :48:17.heel from one race to another. Even when she has won, she has had to
:48:18. > :48:23.work hard. 21.93, it is a new Diamond League record and a
:48:24. > :48:27.world-leading time. In these conditions, the wind, behind her, in
:48:28. > :48:33.cold conditions, that is special. Transition was fabulous from the
:48:34. > :48:38.bend she had a great bend. Transition was superb and that was a
:48:39. > :48:43.powerful piece of running. That is really world class. She applauds
:48:44. > :48:47.herself as she goes sub 22. Look at the start. She went right up on to
:48:48. > :48:51.Elaine Thompson and Thompson is good. She is world class. And she
:48:52. > :48:57.made her look ordinary. So powerful on the bend. Look at the relaxed
:48:58. > :49:03.look on that face. Great bend. Super transition. Power house down the
:49:04. > :49:05.straight and the lone finish. There is no one else in the shot.
:49:06. > :49:27.Schippers wins. Lavillenie then, two failures at
:49:28. > :49:33.5.87. The third attempt now. The crowd getting heavily involved with
:49:34. > :49:41.the man who rules supreme in this event. Oh, no! No, but he wins it
:49:42. > :49:50.with the second time clearance at 5.80. Applause all round. A bit of a
:49:51. > :49:55.fright in his opening height. But the champions come through that sort
:49:56. > :50:03.of thing. There is the result of the the pole vault. Last Lenry from
:50:04. > :50:15.Shaun Barber and Pawel Wojciechowski. The Poll held the
:50:16. > :50:20.lead for a long time. Here is Spanovic in the long jump. Couldn't
:50:21. > :50:34.get it right third and fourth rounds. 6.79 when they're all
:50:35. > :50:46.struggling to hit the big distances, not bad at all. Oh, just sits back
:50:47. > :50:53.on that one a bit, Spanovic. It is better though. She is having a good
:50:54. > :51:04.long look at it. Really nice on the board. Good height. She generates a
:51:05. > :51:16.lot of speed does the Serb. Waiting anxiously. 6.94. That is big. With
:51:17. > :51:34.tights on. On a cool night. Minus 0.5 and into a head wind. The Dream
:51:35. > :51:38.Mile. The world record holder from last year is out with a toe injury.
:51:39. > :51:43.Laura Muir is in good form for Britain. Fifth in the world
:51:44. > :51:50.championships last year. The lass from Dundee, still only 23. Making
:51:51. > :51:52.her debut here. The pace maker is Britain's Jenny Meadows. There she
:51:53. > :52:14.is to the left. Faith Kipyegon there, she is only
:52:15. > :52:24.22, but she has been in fabulous form and twice junior world cross
:52:25. > :52:34.country champion. Jenny Meadows, unfamiliar role this for her. She is
:52:35. > :52:39.35 now. An athlete who has won well in British colours year after year,
:52:40. > :52:49.I wonder how good she will be here as a pace maker. Kipyegon latches
:52:50. > :52:54.into her weight. So does Laura Muir. Bahta and Ennaoui behind her. It is
:52:55. > :53:00.single file and that tells me it is quick. Looking at Laura Muir, so
:53:01. > :53:06.very impressed with the way she is now competing. She goes out. She
:53:07. > :53:10.doesn't sit back in the pack. She is in second place as the rest strung
:53:11. > :53:23.out behind. She won't give anything away. Just sits there in front of
:53:24. > :53:35.Embaye. Then Bahta of Sweden in fourth and then there is a gap.
:53:36. > :53:40.62.28 at 440. Jenny Meadows doing a great job. A bit on the quick side,
:53:41. > :53:46.but Laura Muir is up to the challenge. She is in third place.
:53:47. > :53:54.She ran a brilliant 3,000 last year. She has got extraordinary strength.
:53:55. > :54:02.She has been working on 8 hundred. This is her first race beyond 800
:54:03. > :54:07.this year. She is only 11th in the Commonwealth Games games in 2014.
:54:08. > :54:14.But she was a transformed character last year. Bahta back in fourth has
:54:15. > :54:18.had enough of this. It is Kipyegon with Muir really being stretched to
:54:19. > :54:24.hang on to this. You have got to admire the guts of Scot. Jenny
:54:25. > :54:32.Meadows will come on I suspect spot on. Kipyegon is in second. That is
:54:33. > :54:36.good. That is pretty much perfect. That is what they were asked for.
:54:37. > :54:46.She has done a brilliant job. Muir just latching on. How long can she
:54:47. > :54:51.say on the back of Faith Kipyegon? A couple of performances under 3.57
:54:52. > :54:55.for 1,500 metres. But Muir looks comfortable at the moment. Not
:54:56. > :54:59.fearful. Not going to be sitting back in that trailing group. Look
:55:00. > :55:11.amount this. Brilliant already from Laura Muir. Can she keep this going?
:55:12. > :55:19.This is more like chasing quick times. This is flat out. Great pace
:55:20. > :55:24.making from Jenny Meadows. It has become two praises. This pair, what
:55:25. > :55:29.30 or 40 metres ahead of the rest. Kipyegon comes to the bell with
:55:30. > :55:39.Laura Muir dogging her heels stride for stride. The Scot stays with her.
:55:40. > :55:44.They hit the bell. Well, the world record is 4:12.58. Back in 1996. I
:55:45. > :55:49.don't think that will be under threat. But it will be fast.
:55:50. > :55:58.Kipyegon hasn't had a glance around that I have seen to see who is
:55:59. > :56:04.dogging her. Muir grimacing. Kipyegon drives on. Working hard
:56:05. > :56:09.with the arms. 200 to run. She has a bit of daylight, but not a lot. Two
:56:10. > :56:14.or three metres to Muir. She has got to keep focussing. She is visibly
:56:15. > :56:20.wilting. It has been such a brave run from her. To try and hang on to
:56:21. > :56:25.the young Kenyan. She is only 23 remember, 22 rather is Kipyegon. The
:56:26. > :56:30.World Championship silver-medallist. The crowd above the finish line rise
:56:31. > :56:35.to their feet for this young lady. She has the two fastest 1,500s in
:56:36. > :56:45.the world. She will have one of fastest miles ever. Laura Muir who
:56:46. > :56:56.might have been chasing Zola Budd's British record, I don't think she
:56:57. > :57:01.has taken it. But 4: 18. 63. Very brave running and Laura Muir out on
:57:02. > :57:05.her feet. Spread eagled across the track. The others standing around
:57:06. > :57:09.trying to recover. It was quick, Stuart, maybe a bit too quick
:57:10. > :57:16.through half way. That is my initial reading. Well, you have to say that
:57:17. > :57:20.for me, the feature of that race was Laura Muir. Fabulous piece of
:57:21. > :57:29.running. I said at the start, she is not afraid to compete. She has come
:57:30. > :57:35.to the race and is not fazed by Faith Kipyegon. That is quick. But
:57:36. > :57:40.is in young woman is going places. But Kipyegon, it went with the split
:57:41. > :57:44.in the end. You have to admire Laura Muir of Great Britain. That was
:57:45. > :57:50.terrific. A lot of credit to her for that. She went with the pace. Shi
:57:51. > :58:03.went with the No 1 and got her just reward. Kipyegon then the winner.
:58:04. > :58:16.There is the result of long jump. Shara Proctor 6.67, getting better.
:58:17. > :58:22.Our next the Diamond League highlights come from Stock Market
:58:23. > :58:32.home' - Stockholm next Saturday lunchtime.
:58:33. > :58:38.That is it from Oslo, join news a week or the more top class track and
:58:39. > :58:43.field action. See you then. Goodbye.
