Hello and welcome to highlights from the Oslo Diamond League. The Bislett

:00:47.:00:54.

games is one of the jewels in the crown for athletics and we have so

:00:55.:00:57.

many great memories from over the years. A new world record for Great

:00:58.:01:06.

Britain and Sebastian Coe. Steve over, the supreme race. -- Ovett.

:01:07.:01:19.

The world record goes. Steve Cram. That was a sensational piece of

:01:20.:01:31.

running. Yes, he has got it. 85 metres!

:01:32.:01:37.

Bolt coming through! You will remember that moment.

:01:38.:01:47.

She has taken the world record! Oslo has been renowned for world records

:01:48.:01:58.

since the Bislett games began in 19 626. The crowd is tight at the track

:01:59.:02:04.

creating one of the best and is phase in athletics. Your

:02:05.:02:08.

commentators are Stuart Storey and Tim Hudgins. COMMENTATOR: Heatwave

:02:09.:02:12.

here in the last ten days but the cloud has come overhead and the

:02:13.:02:18.

temperature at 14, 34% humidity, conditions pretty good but as I say

:02:19.:02:22.

that there are some dark clouds coming over the stadium. I hope we

:02:23.:02:27.

do not get any rain. The first event on the track was the men's 400-metre

:02:28.:02:34.

hurdles. Yes, the line-up, five finalists from last year at the

:02:35.:02:43.

World Championships. Michael Tinsley the leader at the moment. Yasmani

:02:44.:02:51.

Copello of Turkey, former Cuban, 29 years old. Sixth in Beijing last

:02:52.:03:00.

year. Nicholas Bett, reigning world champion from Kenya, my word, some

:03:01.:03:03.

strange results last year in Beijing in this discipline. Many big names

:03:04.:03:08.

failing to make it through to the final. Michael Tinsley in Lane 5, he

:03:09.:03:15.

won in Shanghai and Eugene. Silver-medallists in Moscow in 2013

:03:16.:03:19.

but only eighth last year. He is in good form. Nicholas Bett, reigning

:03:20.:03:25.

world champion, in Lane 4. Despite the noise in the arena they

:03:26.:03:51.

are underway without any problems. First to rise probably Copello on

:03:52.:03:55.

the inside. Going very well is Tinsley in the white top. In Lane 5.

:03:56.:04:03.

Living very strongly alongside the men outside him, Clement in six also

:04:04.:04:06.

going aggressively. Culson on the outside. Around the crown of the

:04:07.:04:14.

bend. Past the water jump. Culson leading at the moment, running

:04:15.:04:17.

blind, running scared, perhaps, try to make up for some very mediocre

:04:18.:04:22.

form. Has he got it down the home straight? It is such a tough event.

:04:23.:04:27.

Brilliant running from Copello on the inside. He is isolated, so is

:04:28.:04:33.

Culson. And here comes Tinsley. Copello in Lane 1! He takes it. From

:04:34.:04:39.

Tinsley. I think Culson taking third. 48.81, season 's best,

:04:40.:04:47.

unofficially. I think there is a fair bit of extra regression packed

:04:48.:04:51.

into that punch because he will have been disappointed with the lane

:04:52.:04:54.

draw. He is a huge character, making it tougher. 1.96, six foot five,

:04:55.:05:02.

Lane 1. About the worst lane he could have been given. Certainly

:05:03.:05:07.

Tinsley ran a very good race once again and Culson did run a very fast

:05:08.:05:11.

300 and was trying desperately to hang on. Copello on a very tight

:05:12.:05:15.

inside lane, terrific performance from him to go under nine

:05:16.:05:24.

. Once again the world champion absolutely nowhere. -- under 49.

:05:25.:05:37.

Nicholas Bett really struggling, how on earth did he run under 48 seconds

:05:38.:05:42.

and win the world title? Nevertheless, on the inside, Copello

:05:43.:05:48.

of Turkey. Superb use of finishing. -- superb piece of finishing.

:05:49.:05:53.

Confirmation of the win for Copello, season 's best and for Javier Culson

:05:54.:05:56.

as well. Coming up, Dafne Schippers continues

:05:57.:06:07.

her Olympic countdown as she takes on world silver-medallist Elaine

:06:08.:06:12.

Thompson over 200 metres. The pole vault world record-holder Renner

:06:13.:06:18.

Lavillenie will be challenged again by reigning world champion Shawn

:06:19.:06:24.

Barber. -- Renaud Lavillenie. Kenya's Asbel Kiprop goes for a

:06:25.:06:30.

Fifita as Charlie Grice tries to maintain his good start to the

:06:31.:06:33.

season. And the women's mile features Laura Moore back on the

:06:34.:06:38.

track where she ran believed a 12 months ago. This is a good shot put

:06:39.:06:50.

competition. Only a youngster, this pole. This is the supreme opener.

:06:51.:07:02.

World junior record in January this year. He knew it was good. Appear

:07:03.:07:10.

against one another on, Joe Kovacs of the USA. He really likes that

:07:11.:07:20.

one. He is a monstrously scaled man. Really sound opener. The pole vault,

:07:21.:07:28.

second attempt, world champion in 2011. That is nice as well. Season

:07:29.:07:40.

's best of 5.7 one. He can go beyond this yet. -- five .71. Shawn Barber

:07:41.:07:48.

as well in accommodation, reigning world champion. Renaud Lavillenie

:07:49.:07:52.

yet to come in. 5.65 his opening height. Wojciechowski, there it is.

:07:53.:08:05.

Later on, the 200 metres, the Dutch woman who became world champion,

:08:06.:08:10.

Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands. In the 200 metres. That is much

:08:11.:08:16.

anticipated, against Elaine Thompson of Jamaica. Now Joe Kovacs of the

:08:17.:08:26.

United States. 22.13 in Eugene. Wonderful World Championship last

:08:27.:08:29.

year, winning the title. He is a protector. His personal best was

:08:30.:08:36.

last year, 22.50 six. He gets underneath beautifully and once the

:08:37.:08:39.

timing is right, that is a roundabout would you metres. He

:08:40.:08:47.

really moves well. -- roundabout 21 metres. He uses all the machinery he

:08:48.:08:51.

has got, plenty of that musculature will stop. In second place at the

:08:52.:08:57.

moment. That is the start list for the

:08:58.:09:01.

women's 400 metres. On the inside, the Norwegian, Line

:09:02.:09:26.

Kloster. 53.97 her best this season, a little bit faster a couple of

:09:27.:09:29.

seasons ago. She has a tight inside lane. Onuora got a bronze medal in

:09:30.:09:40.

the relay last year and the World Championships. She has a 51.55

:09:41.:09:47.

seasons best, in Birmingham. And Morgan Mitchell, 51.25 in

:09:48.:09:51.

Birmingham, that represented a personal best. She goes back to

:09:52.:10:02.

Australia after Geneva, I am told. MacPherson of Jamaica. -- Stephanie

:10:03.:10:08.

McKenzie. She is the Commonwealth champion. And outside her, Natasha

:10:09.:10:15.

Hastings of the United States. Also a personal best in Eugene, she is a

:10:16.:10:23.

sub 50 competitor at her best. Then Williams-Mills. Third in the saga in

:10:24.:10:34.

2007, leading with ten metres to and was beaten. Marie Gayot is European

:10:35.:10:47.

champion. 51.52 this season. The women's 400 metres.

:10:48.:10:57.

Certainly Hastings has gone off very quickly indeed and on the outside

:10:58.:11:00.

Mere Hastings and Williams-Mills running

:11:01.:11:14.

closely together. McPherson has work to do and on the inside, Onuora of

:11:15.:11:18.

Great Britain has a lot to do as they come into the home straight.

:11:19.:11:24.

Grenot of France absolutely flying around this bend. The rest have got

:11:25.:11:31.

work to do to catch her. Onuora coming strongly in the final stages.

:11:32.:11:38.

Hastings being run down now by McPherson, who has had a strong

:11:39.:11:42.

second half of the race. McPherson will come through with Hastings in

:11:43.:11:45.

second place and in third place in the sixth lane was Novlene

:11:46.:11:54.

Williams-Mills. McPherson at 51.06. Good powerful piece of running by

:11:55.:11:58.

her. She was controlled in the first 200 metres and between 200 and 300

:11:59.:12:04.

put herself in position to attack. Was not fazed in the first half of

:12:05.:12:08.

the race but certainly looked pretty strong in the second half. It was

:12:09.:12:14.

very even with 90 metres left, McPherson, rocking from side to

:12:15.:12:22.

side. Hastings tried to come back. Onuora holds on very well

:12:23.:12:25.

considering she looks like she is dying badly on the far side to take

:12:26.:12:27.

fourth place. Around for, Bukowiecki. -- round

:12:28.:12:54.

four. That is big. And he knows it is good. Isn't he letting everybody

:12:55.:12:58.

else know. His season 's best and personal best of 21.01 at the end of

:12:59.:13:05.

May. I think he might have thrown better. I think that is a personal

:13:06.:13:12.

best. He is a monstrous fella, imagine feeding him breakfast every

:13:13.:13:18.

morning. Well under 20, junior record for Bukowiecki. Here is

:13:19.:13:27.

Wojciechowski. This for the Pole would give him a separate lead from

:13:28.:13:37.

the rest of them. Yes, he wriggles over that one somewhat awkwardly.

:13:38.:13:47.

Born in Bydgoszcz, big fella. Around six foot three. Looks to have plenty

:13:48.:13:57.

of height. Third in Eugene. In his last competition in his hometown he

:13:58.:14:04.

was only third, a few days ago. Already going better tonight and he

:14:05.:14:05.

has the lead. Well Mr Lavillenie comes into the

:14:06.:14:17.

pole vault for the first time. Such is his confidence. I hope it works

:14:18.:14:25.

for him. Oh! Ooh! That can be dangerous. Sometimes they get it

:14:26.:14:30.

wrong and even the best in the world get it wrong. He is a six metre

:14:31.:14:36.

vaulter, but he pulled out of that half way. It is always a problem

:14:37.:14:40.

where you land. You don't want to land with your feet and ankles in

:14:41.:14:44.

that box. So that is a failure that he won't enjoy. Joe Kovacs, Round 5

:14:45.:14:56.

for him. Konrad Bukowiecki the first man to hit that territory beyond 21

:14:57.:15:01.

metres. How can the American respond? Well that looks big as

:15:02.:15:11.

well. That looks huge from Kovacs. Gets the white flag. That is why

:15:12.:15:16.

beyond 21 metres and Konrad Bukowiecki's been shunted down to

:15:17.:15:22.

second place surely. 20.45 in Round 4 for Kovacs, his best to today

:15:23.:15:33.

20.73. That is 21.51, as if to slap the youngster back into second place

:15:34.:15:39.

and say, learn your place! The men's javelin could be one of the best

:15:40.:15:50.

events at the Olympics. Yego learned how to do it on YouTube. Thomas

:15:51.:15:59.

Rohler is the leading thrower this year. And Abdelrahman laid down a

:16:00.:16:08.

big marker in Eugene. The first throw in the men's javelin.

:16:09.:16:20.

This event is wide-open. He hits that one hard. That is near 87. That

:16:21.:16:32.

is a very good opener. Fabulous opener. He really got behind that.

:16:33.:16:41.

The world lead you can see in that graphic. That is going to be a

:16:42.:16:50.

personal best I'm sure. It is. 87.11 for Vetter. That is some

:16:51.:16:56.

improvement. His personal best was 85.40. I wonder whether we are going

:16:57.:17:02.

to see some big throws from the bigger names in this. Yego the world

:17:03.:17:09.

champion is here. Abdelrahman is here. Rohler, a finalist in the

:17:10.:17:16.

javelin. He is an 89-metre thrower at his best. He has best of season

:17:17.:17:27.

of 87.91. That is around, well just short of 85 metres. And all of a

:17:28.:17:34.

sudden, Vetter has put the real pressure on at 87.11 and a new

:17:35.:17:40.

personal best. Rohler, well, we will see. The big names are yet to come.

:17:41.:17:52.

Kovacs got back first place from the youngster Konrad Bukowiecki. He has

:17:53.:17:59.

got the win in the bag. That is bigger still. That is huge from

:18:00.:18:05.

Kovacs. The world No 1, the reigning world champion, his season's best,

:18:06.:18:14.

22.13. His lifetime best 22.56 in Monaco last year. That from Kovacs,

:18:15.:18:19.

he knows it is right. He knows he has hit a big one there. He was only

:18:20.:18:28.

third in Shanghai and won in Eugene in 22.13. He has indeed got better

:18:29.:18:40.

as the competition has worn on. He is very fast and has such strength

:18:41.:18:46.

and that result, another 22-metre throw.

:18:47.:18:51.

A world under 20 record for Konrad Bukowiecki in second place. Another

:18:52.:18:57.

Polish shot putter coming through the ranks.

:18:58.:19:07.

What a field this is. 18 starters, the world No one Edris goes. No Mo

:19:08.:19:21.

Farah, he won the 10,000 a couple of week back and set a British record

:19:22.:19:27.

for 3,000 on Sunday. He is happy with the way his season is

:19:28.:19:30.

unfolding. They will see seven laps to go this time. They have gone

:19:31.:19:40.

through 2,000 in 5:20.31. It is pedestrian stuff for men of this

:19:41.:19:49.

calibre. Koech is the eighth fastest man in history. But he was only

:19:50.:19:54.

ninth recently. He was only eighth in the world indoors. His recent

:19:55.:19:58.

races haven't been confidence-boosting. The two pace

:19:59.:20:12.

makers lead from Koech. As they approach half way, all the racing

:20:13.:20:18.

yet to come. Frankly men of this calibre, you could almost call it

:20:19.:20:27.

jogging for them. Shaun Barber, second attempt. Second place.

:20:28.:20:35.

That is better. Yes, he made it. He had to work hard at the top of the

:20:36.:20:44.

pole, but he got it right that time. Perfect rhythm and timing. His

:20:45.:20:48.

approach was very quick. It has to be positive. Any little question

:20:49.:20:52.

mark in the mind as you come into that plant and it just does not

:20:53.:21:08.

work. So Barber second place 5.65. This final attempt. That is better.

:21:09.:21:16.

Not too often you see him celebrating like that. But it was

:21:17.:21:21.

his opening height. He had to get that one right. Pawel Wojciechowski

:21:22.:21:28.

clearing it first time. Barber cleared it the second time of

:21:29.:21:35.

asking. Lavillenie has cleared it. Now it starts with a clean slate,

:21:36.:21:41.

although that is their order. Lavillenie down in third. Three,

:21:42.:21:48.

four abreast into this lap with three laps to run. It will be a

:21:49.:22:11.

tasty last kilometre. Looking for Iguider. 2.40 fourth kilometre, the

:22:12.:22:22.

pace maker is thinking I may as well keep going. It is going to turn into

:22:23.:22:36.

a mile. Yes this is where the race starts. A couple of laps to go. Just

:22:37.:22:48.

under two to run. Iguider is a great racer. He is tactically aware. 700

:22:49.:22:57.

metres to run. He is cruising. Able to respond to any attack from the

:22:58.:23:04.

outside. Down the back straight. Edris is in sixth. Still moving

:23:05.:23:09.

well. Lap and a half to run. I still get the feeling that Iguider has not

:23:10.:23:16.

even broken sweat. Gebrhiwet in second. Koech back in seventh.

:23:17.:23:24.

Ibrahimov looks like he is struggling. They come around for the

:23:25.:23:28.

penultimate time. It is three or four abreast again. Iguider,

:23:29.:23:36.

Gebrhiwet and Iguider allowing bodies to come past and that is

:23:37.:23:41.

naive. They still haven't hit top gear. They have 400 metres to run.

:23:42.:23:53.

Gebrhiwet from degel Cha. - degel Cha. Into the back striegt. Kejelcha

:23:54.:24:03.

with those long legs. Rangy runner that he is. 250 to run. Gebrhiwet is

:24:04.:24:10.

in a good position. Edris, the world No 1 in third. Struggling to stay

:24:11.:24:17.

with this. Iguider comes now. These four are well aware. Gebrhiwet and

:24:18.:24:25.

Kejelcha who still looks like he has another gear. On the inside

:24:26.:24:30.

Gebrhiwet drives for home. Edris gritting his teeth. Iguider has

:24:31.:24:39.

misjudged this. Gebrhiwet takes it from Edris and Kejelcha. Koech is in

:24:40.:24:48.

in fifth. The last lap 54 seconds exactly and I suspect, I don't know,

:24:49.:24:51.

but I suspect Mo Farah would have been watching that with a wry smile,

:24:52.:24:55.

thinking is that the best you have got? In pretty good racing

:24:56.:25:01.

conditions I have to say, 54 second last lap. 13.07. The splits were so

:25:02.:25:09.

slow for men of this calibre. Even the penultimate lap was not quick.

:25:10.:25:19.

No one tested the field. There was nothing there to intimidate Mo

:25:20.:25:21.

Farah. That is what it means to him! That

:25:22.:25:51.

is good. He has just done what he does best. What does it have in

:25:52.:26:01.

store for us this year? Oh, that is a huge jump. It is a perfect day.

:26:02.:26:12.

The women's long jump now. Shara Proctor, the UK record holder. Had a

:26:13.:26:16.

disappointing last outing and needs for her confidence to get back with

:26:17.:26:26.

a decent jump here. And what target can she set? Quick on the runway.

:26:27.:26:31.

Very simple technique. That is better than last time out. She has

:26:32.:26:37.

got the white flag. Hits the board well. Very basic and simple

:26:38.:26:44.

technique. 6.66. That is the target for the rest. Into a slight head

:26:45.:26:52.

wind. Back to the vault, Lavillenie put himself under pressure. 5.73,

:26:53.:26:57.

first attempt for the Frenchman. That is better. Normal service

:26:58.:27:06.

resumed. I can tell you that Shaun Barber failed his first attempt.

:27:07.:27:10.

Pawel Wojciechowski passing at this height, which seems a little brave

:27:11.:27:18.

when his season's best is 5.71. The next height is 5.80. That wasn't the

:27:19.:27:26.

cleanest of vaults. Now the card is beginning to regain respectability

:27:27.:27:35.

and a smile back on his features. Thomas Rohler, third place, 84.71.

:27:36.:27:42.

Leads the Diamond race this season. Needs a big throw. He has hit that

:27:43.:27:47.

one hard. That is going out there. Oh, that is close to 90 metres! That

:27:48.:27:52.

is the lead by a long way. Wow! Did he hit that? Rohler. Fourth in

:27:53.:28:05.

Beijing last year with 87.41, I tell you what a new personal best and a

:28:06.:28:15.

world lead. Back too Barber in the pole vault. Even if he clears this,

:28:16.:28:24.

having seen Lavillenie go clear, he will not only move into second

:28:25.:28:32.

place. He would leapfrog Pawel Wojciechowski. Who bizarrely I

:28:33.:28:38.

think, passing at this height. Oh, squeezes over that one. There wasn't

:28:39.:28:45.

a lot of daylight to spare. The big upset last year was his victory in

:28:46.:28:52.

Beijing of course. Lavillenie doesn't need reminding, but he has

:28:53.:28:56.

yet to win a world outdoor discipline, although he has

:28:57.:28:59.

dominated for five or six years and he has that out and out world record

:29:00.:29:13.

of 6.16 from three years ago. Here is Christabel Nettey. That looks

:29:14.:29:19.

pretty good. That looked better perhaps. Shara Proctor 6.66 was the

:29:20.:29:30.

leader after the first round. That is a solid opener from the

:29:31.:29:34.

silver-medallist from Great Britain. But Nettey very close to a similar

:29:35.:29:45.

sort of mark. She opened with 6.61. Pan Am games champion last year. Now

:29:46.:29:52.

count back therefore she is taking the lead from Shara Proctor. On the

:29:53.:29:57.

basis of second best jump being better. The hurdles are out. There

:29:58.:30:04.

is the line-up. Pearson of Australia and Pedersen.

:30:05.:30:20.

A close only is after breaking her wrist. All about confidence at the

:30:21.:30:26.

moment. Seventh in Birmingham but she will come back slowly but

:30:27.:30:31.

surely. Harper-Nelson was Olympic champion in 2008. Silver-medallist

:30:32.:30:39.

in London. She was fourth in Birmingham. Talay was European

:30:40.:30:51.

champion in 2012. Watch out for Brianna Rollins.

:30:52.:31:09.

Tiffany Porter is United Kingdom record-holder. Looking to get back

:31:10.:31:20.

to her best. The world league of course Harrison at 12.24 in Eugene,

:31:21.:31:34.

just outside world record. Talay, I wonder if Talay it was in the fourth

:31:35.:31:40.

name, from Belarus. Unless someone is moved before. There she is in the

:31:41.:31:49.

fourth lane. Unless there is a technical problem. She will be red

:31:50.:31:58.

carded on man. -- on that. Yes, Talay has gone.

:31:59.:32:08.

No problem with the start this time and already Rollins going very

:32:09.:32:15.

strongly. Porter going well this time. Harper-Nelson also going well.

:32:16.:32:21.

Rollins away with this, Harper-Nelson second and scours in

:32:22.:32:25.

third place. Pretty good run once again. By Brianna Rollins. She is

:32:26.:32:35.

pretty consistent this season. -- Stour Stowers in their place. In the

:32:36.:32:40.

sense that went with the form but, better from Dawn Harper-Nelson.

:32:41.:32:49.

Seasons best in second place. Stowers in third. Still looking for

:32:50.:32:56.

the sort of form that occurred to 12.35 last season. Brilliant start

:32:57.:33:00.

from Rollins, she never gave anybody else a chance. I was impressed with

:33:01.:33:06.

her speed of feed before the final barrier, first barrier, I should

:33:07.:33:14.

say. That is a big winning margin. The result of hurdles race.

:33:15.:33:27.

Over to the long jump, Spanovic keeping her times on sensibly.

:33:28.:33:39.

Bronze-medallist at the last two World Championships. Really

:33:40.:33:47.

consistent jumper. Fair bit of stuttering before the board. Not the

:33:48.:33:56.

neatest effort. She is a seven-metre jumper, and Zurich last year.

:33:57.:34:04.

National record of course, her personal best. Second in the world

:34:05.:34:10.

indoors. Came off the winter really well and that is a good jump. The

:34:11.:34:18.

men's javelin is still in progress. Walcott in third place. Now, not

:34:19.:34:27.

happy so far. He has hit at one well. He got his arm well into that

:34:28.:34:33.

and that is about, 86 metres, he really hits the lead leg and really

:34:34.:34:40.

works against it and over it and gets the delayed hand containing the

:34:41.:34:46.

javelin over as long range as possible. The is all right. Well,

:34:47.:34:52.

not happy, but the seasons best. Still in third. Back on the track,

:34:53.:35:06.

the men's 100 metres. King: is turning into a living legend. Well

:35:07.:35:15.

into his 40th year now. In great form. 9.93 he produced in Germany at

:35:16.:35:28.

the end of May. Mike Rodgers goes in lane form. Sixth in the indoor is

:35:29.:35:32.

over 60 metres. Always very competitive, another prolific race,

:35:33.:35:41.

the graphs in Lane 5. -- Andre de Grasse.

:35:42.:35:54.

Really good start from Collins, they are chasing him hard. Rodgers coming

:35:55.:36:02.

back but now they are not going to get him. Collins is injured! De

:36:03.:36:08.

Grasse takes it and Collins has gone down injured, that is a real shame.

:36:09.:36:13.

He has hobbled across the line. Old Father Time catching up with Kim

:36:14.:36:20.

Collins at last. He has defied the clock year after year after year

:36:21.:36:24.

that he is in real pain. That is such a shame. He has been in

:36:25.:36:30.

fabulous form of late. Personal-best 9.93, defying all the laws of

:36:31.:36:34.

physiology and physics and chemistry and any other thing I can think of.

:36:35.:36:41.

Murphy's Law has got into night. On a cool night in Oslo. That may well

:36:42.:36:50.

be the season for Kim Collins. He is holding his groin. Let's hope it is

:36:51.:36:55.

not much more than can. He was super, then it went. Winning so

:36:56.:37:00.

comfortably. Locke on the inside was going well until he was overtaken by

:37:01.:37:05.

de Grasse and Mike Rodgers. That is a grimace and a half.

:37:06.:37:20.

The pole vault still going on at the far end of the stadium. Second

:37:21.:37:25.

attempt for liver Lavillenie. Second attempt at 5.80.

:37:26.:37:50.

Yes! Yes! Well, Lavillenie really takes chances but at the end of the

:37:51.:37:55.

day he does come out with the success we associate with him. More

:37:56.:37:59.

Diamond League wins than anyone else. The Olympic champion will

:38:00.:38:08.

defend his title this year. A good season thus far, shakes his head

:38:09.:38:15.

because of that, but he has got up to 5.80, very respectable indeed.

:38:16.:38:19.

Friendly nod from the world champion. That was the indicator

:38:20.:38:30.

telling you that of course Rohler has won the javelin. What a good

:38:31.:38:41.

performance. World leading throw, Johannes Vetter was leading for a

:38:42.:38:54.

long time. The line-up for the Dream Mile. What a race this from

:38:55.:39:01.

suitably. Terrific history. Charlie Grice of Great Britain having a very

:39:02.:39:08.

good season indeed. Asbel Kiprop of Kenya. Really dominant this season.

:39:09.:39:17.

In a race that has such a history. Two world records broken in this

:39:18.:39:25.

race over the years, one by Steve Cram, 3:46.32. Steve Ovett in 1980,

:39:26.:39:33.

3.48 point 08. This is one of those races you look back in the history

:39:34.:39:37.

books and it is although. Asbel Kiprop, unbeaten this year. Really

:39:38.:39:45.

looked so comfortable thus far. Still has to run the sort of times I

:39:46.:39:56.

have mentioned thus far. The pacemakers, Commonwealth champion at

:39:57.:40:01.

5000 metres, Kipling -- my Kiprop looks so comfortable. Really

:40:02.:40:19.

working hard on those pacemakers, Magut and Rotich. A bit of a gap

:40:20.:40:25.

already. The Olympic champion leading the second group, Makhloufi.

:40:26.:40:34.

Kiprop won here last year, 2011, and 2012. Going for his fifth win here.

:40:35.:40:41.

More than anything else he would like the Olympic title this year. He

:40:42.:40:46.

has said the time is not important. Already on record saying he will not

:40:47.:40:50.

be chasing any fast time this year, it is all about Rio. Robert Blair.

:40:51.:41:01.

-- Robert Biwott leading the second group. Manangoi was silver-medallist

:41:02.:41:13.

last year. Has got confidence from winning in Rome. Ingebritsen,

:41:14.:41:24.

incidentally, the 15-year-old ran 3.42 earlier today. Astonishing

:41:25.:41:33.

junior record, at the age of 15, freakish if you asked me. Look at

:41:34.:41:39.

the Gap, the way it is opening up. Nobody prepared to go with it.

:41:40.:41:43.

Kiprop building up the Big Apple and we have already seen that this

:41:44.:41:50.

season couple of times. This is a serious attempt at some fast times

:41:51.:41:55.

from Asbel Kiprop. Was not able to defend his Olympic title in 2012, he

:41:56.:42:01.

was injured. Three times a world champion. Showing unbelievable class

:42:02.:42:05.

now down the back straight and the pacemaking has been good, Magut as I

:42:06.:42:09.

said is Commonwealth champion. He has got a 3:56 to his credit this

:42:10.:42:16.

season and he is really motoring. Kiprop just off the back, no longer,

:42:17.:42:22.

he is on his own. Everybody else watching each other, they have given

:42:23.:42:30.

up chasing Kiprop. Charlie Grice can run 3.52, as he did three weeks ago

:42:31.:42:38.

but Kiprop now has lost interest in the pacemaker. I think these are

:42:39.:42:43.

signs of him wanting to keep his powder dry for later in the season.

:42:44.:42:48.

One lap to go for Asbel Kiprop. Ingebritsens in that group with

:42:49.:42:52.

Charlie Grice of Great Britain. They are all there. Makhloufi is there.

:42:53.:42:59.

They are making inroads into the lead on Asbel Kiprop. He is running

:43:00.:43:04.

it how he likes. Absolutely superb piece of running down the back

:43:05.:43:09.

straight. A look over his shoulder. The rest are sprinting towards him

:43:10.:43:13.

as they approached 200 metres to go. Ingebritsen there as well. This is

:43:14.:43:19.

going to be a very, very fast run in the by Kiprop, as you would expect.

:43:20.:43:25.

Just about 150, to go. Kiprop now coming through. Makhloufi in second

:43:26.:43:35.

place. Ingebritsen in fourth as they raced down the street. They have

:43:36.:43:43.

closed down on him, certainly. Manangoi in second place. I'd tell

:43:44.:43:46.

you what, they were all charging. Willis was there. 3:51.49, I have to

:43:47.:43:53.

say I agree with you, keeping his powder dry. He let the pace go at

:43:54.:43:58.

the end and just ran the race. Out on his own. Wasn't simply majestic.

:43:59.:44:06.

He looked so easy. They did close on him. Makhloufi was going well. They

:44:07.:44:07.

really didn't race him. The fourth round of the long jump.

:44:08.:44:37.

In third place, Christabel Nettey. 6.66 her best. Looking to go beyond

:44:38.:44:49.

the Spanovic lead. They have all got the warmers on. So it indicates the

:44:50.:44:54.

temperature has dropped down there. It is a white flag. What has she

:44:55.:45:02.

got. Perfect on board. Good lift. A bit of backward rotation in the end.

:45:03.:45:12.

But not bad. Now what has she got? Third place it is 6.68. She moves up

:45:13.:45:16.

a place. Dafne Schippers finished second in

:45:17.:45:35.

Birmingham last week. Now she takes on the 200 in Oslo and a rematch

:45:36.:45:41.

with Elaine Thompson. The pair finished first and second at last

:45:42.:45:48.

year's World Championships. It is going to be Schippers. There is

:45:49.:45:54.

Schippers in the middle. Williams of Britain is going in 2.

:45:55.:46:15.

There is Elaine Thompson, in really good form, the silver-medallist in

:46:16.:46:20.

the World Championship. This is some match up between her and Dafne

:46:21.:46:29.

Schippers. Thompson is faster than Schippers over 100, but Schippers in

:46:30.:46:35.

fabulous form already. We know that. There is Jodie Williams, common

:46:36.:46:47.

wealth silver-medallist in 2014. Well she won the Manchester city

:46:48.:46:57.

centre race. Then won in 22.02. Very quick in front of the home crowd in

:46:58.:47:00.

far from ideal conditions. Watch Thompson in 6. Good start from

:47:01.:47:17.

Schippers. One of the best starts for a while. Facie going well.

:47:18.:47:24.

Schippers is up on the field and on the shoulder of Elaine Thompson. Has

:47:25.:47:30.

a good lead. Watch the clock. She is going away with every stride.

:47:31.:47:35.

Thompson will be well beaten, although she will take second.

:47:36.:47:47.

21.94. The meeting record went. Will that be confirmed? Or rounded down.

:47:48.:47:55.

It is back to 94. They will be looking at that photo finish very

:47:56.:48:00.

carefully indeed. That was a real exhibition run from Schippers who

:48:01.:48:04.

had a fabulous start. I said earlier, it has been her Achilles

:48:05.:48:09.

heel from one race to another. Even when she has won, she has had to

:48:10.:48:17.

work hard. 21.93, it is a new Diamond League record and a

:48:18.:48:23.

world-leading time. In these conditions, the wind, behind her, in

:48:24.:48:27.

cold conditions, that is special. Transition was fabulous from the

:48:28.:48:33.

bend she had a great bend. Transition was superb and that was a

:48:34.:48:38.

powerful piece of running. That is really world class. She applauds

:48:39.:48:43.

herself as she goes sub 22. Look at the start. She went right up on to

:48:44.:48:47.

Elaine Thompson and Thompson is good. She is world class. And she

:48:48.:48:51.

made her look ordinary. So powerful on the bend. Look at the relaxed

:48:52.:48:57.

look on that face. Great bend. Super transition. Power house down the

:48:58.:49:03.

straight and the lone finish. There is no one else in the shot.

:49:04.:49:05.

Schippers wins. Lavillenie then, two failures at

:49:06.:49:27.

5.87. The third attempt now. The crowd getting heavily involved with

:49:28.:49:33.

the man who rules supreme in this event. Oh, no! No, but he wins it

:49:34.:49:41.

with the second time clearance at 5.80. Applause all round. A bit of a

:49:42.:49:50.

fright in his opening height. But the champions come through that sort

:49:51.:49:55.

of thing. There is the result of the the pole vault. Last Lenry from

:49:56.:50:03.

Shaun Barber and Pawel Wojciechowski. The Poll held the

:50:04.:50:15.

lead for a long time. Here is Spanovic in the long jump. Couldn't

:50:16.:50:20.

get it right third and fourth rounds. 6.79 when they're all

:50:21.:50:34.

struggling to hit the big distances, not bad at all. Oh, just sits back

:50:35.:50:46.

on that one a bit, Spanovic. It is better though. She is having a good

:50:47.:50:53.

long look at it. Really nice on the board. Good height. She generates a

:50:54.:51:04.

lot of speed does the Serb. Waiting anxiously. 6.94. That is big. With

:51:05.:51:16.

tights on. On a cool night. Minus 0.5 and into a head wind. The Dream

:51:17.:51:34.

Mile. The world record holder from last year is out with a toe injury.

:51:35.:51:38.

Laura Muir is in good form for Britain. Fifth in the world

:51:39.:51:43.

championships last year. The lass from Dundee, still only 23. Making

:51:44.:51:50.

her debut here. The pace maker is Britain's Jenny Meadows. There she

:51:51.:51:52.

is to the left. Faith Kipyegon there, she is only

:51:53.:52:14.

22, but she has been in fabulous form and twice junior world cross

:52:15.:52:24.

country champion. Jenny Meadows, unfamiliar role this for her. She is

:52:25.:52:34.

35 now. An athlete who has won well in British colours year after year,

:52:35.:52:39.

I wonder how good she will be here as a pace maker. Kipyegon latches

:52:40.:52:49.

into her weight. So does Laura Muir. Bahta and Ennaoui behind her. It is

:52:50.:52:54.

single file and that tells me it is quick. Looking at Laura Muir, so

:52:55.:53:00.

very impressed with the way she is now competing. She goes out. She

:53:01.:53:06.

doesn't sit back in the pack. She is in second place as the rest strung

:53:07.:53:10.

out behind. She won't give anything away. Just sits there in front of

:53:11.:53:23.

Embaye. Then Bahta of Sweden in fourth and then there is a gap.

:53:24.:53:35.

62.28 at 440. Jenny Meadows doing a great job. A bit on the quick side,

:53:36.:53:40.

but Laura Muir is up to the challenge. She is in third place.

:53:41.:53:46.

She ran a brilliant 3,000 last year. She has got extraordinary strength.

:53:47.:53:54.

She has been working on 8 hundred. This is her first race beyond 800

:53:55.:54:02.

this year. She is only 11th in the Commonwealth Games games in 2014.

:54:03.:54:07.

But she was a transformed character last year. Bahta back in fourth has

:54:08.:54:14.

had enough of this. It is Kipyegon with Muir really being stretched to

:54:15.:54:18.

hang on to this. You have got to admire the guts of Scot. Jenny

:54:19.:54:24.

Meadows will come on I suspect spot on. Kipyegon is in second. That is

:54:25.:54:32.

good. That is pretty much perfect. That is what they were asked for.

:54:33.:54:36.

She has done a brilliant job. Muir just latching on. How long can she

:54:37.:54:46.

say on the back of Faith Kipyegon? A couple of performances under 3.57

:54:47.:54:51.

for 1,500 metres. But Muir looks comfortable at the moment. Not

:54:52.:54:55.

fearful. Not going to be sitting back in that trailing group. Look

:54:56.:54:59.

amount this. Brilliant already from Laura Muir. Can she keep this going?

:55:00.:55:11.

This is more like chasing quick times. This is flat out. Great pace

:55:12.:55:19.

making from Jenny Meadows. It has become two praises. This pair, what

:55:20.:55:24.

30 or 40 metres ahead of the rest. Kipyegon comes to the bell with

:55:25.:55:29.

Laura Muir dogging her heels stride for stride. The Scot stays with her.

:55:30.:55:39.

They hit the bell. Well, the world record is 4:12.58. Back in 1996. I

:55:40.:55:44.

don't think that will be under threat. But it will be fast.

:55:45.:55:49.

Kipyegon hasn't had a glance around that I have seen to see who is

:55:50.:55:58.

dogging her. Muir grimacing. Kipyegon drives on. Working hard

:55:59.:56:04.

with the arms. 200 to run. She has a bit of daylight, but not a lot. Two

:56:05.:56:09.

or three metres to Muir. She has got to keep focussing. She is visibly

:56:10.:56:14.

wilting. It has been such a brave run from her. To try and hang on to

:56:15.:56:20.

the young Kenyan. She is only 23 remember, 22 rather is Kipyegon. The

:56:21.:56:25.

World Championship silver-medallist. The crowd above the finish line rise

:56:26.:56:30.

to their feet for this young lady. She has the two fastest 1,500s in

:56:31.:56:35.

the world. She will have one of fastest miles ever. Laura Muir who

:56:36.:56:45.

might have been chasing Zola Budd's British record, I don't think she

:56:46.:56:56.

has taken it. But 4: 18. 63. Very brave running and Laura Muir out on

:56:57.:57:01.

her feet. Spread eagled across the track. The others standing around

:57:02.:57:05.

trying to recover. It was quick, Stuart, maybe a bit too quick

:57:06.:57:09.

through half way. That is my initial reading. Well, you have to say that

:57:10.:57:16.

for me, the feature of that race was Laura Muir. Fabulous piece of

:57:17.:57:20.

running. I said at the start, she is not afraid to compete. She has come

:57:21.:57:29.

to the race and is not fazed by Faith Kipyegon. That is quick. But

:57:30.:57:35.

is in young woman is going places. But Kipyegon, it went with the split

:57:36.:57:40.

in the end. You have to admire Laura Muir of Great Britain. That was

:57:41.:57:44.

terrific. A lot of credit to her for that. She went with the pace. Shi

:57:45.:57:50.

went with the No 1 and got her just reward. Kipyegon then the winner.

:57:51.:58:03.

There is the result of long jump. Shara Proctor 6.67, getting better.

:58:04.:58:16.

Our next the Diamond League highlights come from Stock Market

:58:17.:58:22.

home' - Stockholm next Saturday lunchtime.

:58:23.:58:32.

That is it from Oslo, join news a week or the more top class track and

:58:33.:58:38.

field action. See you then. Goodbye.
