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. | |
