:00:48. > :00:57.Hello. We are in Paris for the second of two Diamond League
:00:58. > :01:03.meetings in a week. Now it is time for the stars of track and field,
:01:04. > :01:05.many still in peak fitness post Rio. So there is an anticipation that
:01:06. > :01:48.records may be broken here. Tim Hutchings and Stuart Storey are
:01:49. > :01:57.your commentators. COMMENTATOR: First to enter the
:01:58. > :02:08.track, the 400 metre hurdles for men. There is the line-up. The
:02:09. > :02:21.Olympic champion, Karen Clement, goes in this one. Kerron Clement,
:02:22. > :02:31.the champion, 47.7 three. A race in which four men went under 48
:02:32. > :02:39.seconds, never seen that. This man, Nicholas bet of Kenny, now the
:02:40. > :02:49.Kenyan number to the hind Boniface Tumuti. A season's best in Rio. A
:02:50. > :02:53.dearth of sub 48 second performances until we came to the Olympics and
:02:54. > :03:03.then for men did it. The Diamond League record is 47.62. How will the
:03:04. > :03:08.Olympic champion fair here? He is the Diamond League leader of course.
:03:09. > :03:14.Tinsley needs a really good race to set himself back up in terms of
:03:15. > :03:23.confidence. Look at the Olympic champion, Kerron Clement. Watch out
:03:24. > :03:27.for the man in the orange vest, he is tough in the second half of the
:03:28. > :03:31.race. Nicholas Bett is having the race of the season at the moment.
:03:32. > :03:37.The Olympic champion Kerron Clement on his shoulder now. Colson going
:03:38. > :03:48.well, Nicholas Bett leading, here comes Clement. Bett is going to take
:03:49. > :03:55.this! What a race from the Kenyan. Bett takes it, with Clement in
:03:56. > :03:58.second place. What a run that is. He's just got that inconsistency at
:03:59. > :04:05.the moment, the reigning world champion, who couldn't find anything
:04:06. > :04:10.like that form in Rio but of course did take the silver medal. 48.01, a
:04:11. > :04:21.season's best for him. As we see Clement leading the
:04:22. > :04:27.Diamond race with 31 points from Colson's 25, with Tinsley on 24. The
:04:28. > :04:36.men's shot put was an absolutely terrific competition. Kurt Roberts
:04:37. > :04:45.spent the day fighting off Ryan Whiting for third place. His
:04:46. > :04:54.season's best of 20.78 saw off Ryan Whiting's 20.65. Ryan Crouser, this
:04:55. > :04:57.was sensational. 21 metres and 99 centimetres. That of course was a
:04:58. > :05:06.new meeting record, taking the record held by the Swiss athlete in
:05:07. > :05:10.1992. Tom Walsh had already in the second round established the first
:05:11. > :05:15.record, which we saw Ryan Crouser beating, there. But in this sixth
:05:16. > :05:21.and final round, it saw Tom Walsh, the New Zealander, second in the
:05:22. > :05:26.Diamond race, the Olympic bronze medallist, launched this 16 lbs ball
:05:27. > :05:36.out to 22 metres! It was absolutely first class. He came here with a
:05:37. > :05:45.personal best of 21.62 and goes away with 22 metres, a new meeting record
:05:46. > :05:49.and that is absolutely first class. The Olympic champion in second. Kurt
:05:50. > :05:56.Roberts in third. Look at the points. The ladies have been waiting
:05:57. > :06:03.patiently down on the track for the start of this women's race, the 400
:06:04. > :06:21.metres. Three Rio medallists go in this race.
:06:22. > :06:35.Hastings, in the lighter shorts, she has gone off very quickly, already
:06:36. > :06:40.closing others down. Hastings certainly leading, now MacPherson
:06:41. > :06:48.getting into her running well. Hastings has steadied right down. A
:06:49. > :06:53.surge off the bend. It is MacPherson who leads but here comes Hastings,
:06:54. > :07:01.working hard on her arms. Still going well is Eilidh Doyle in three.
:07:02. > :07:04.Hastings now gets onto the shoulder. These two battling it out once
:07:05. > :07:12.again. It could be the order of the Olympic Games for these two. 50.08
:07:13. > :07:18.from Natasha Hastings. That is very close to her season's best of 49.90.
:07:19. > :07:29.She worked really well for that and really judge that race to
:07:30. > :07:33.perfection, didn't she? 50.06 for the first time.
:07:34. > :07:43.The women's discus competitions a night, Caballero in third place.
:07:44. > :07:47.Just one valid throw for Caballero from her series. That was it, 61.98,
:07:48. > :08:03.for the reigning Beijing champion. Robert-Michon producing her best in
:08:04. > :08:10.round six. This one going out to 64.36, for the French athlete, who
:08:11. > :08:17.is at her best almost a 67 metre throw. She took the silver in Rio. A
:08:18. > :08:23.fabulous effort at a senior age. At Sandra Perkovic on top in rear and
:08:24. > :08:35.very much on top tonight. She won with a throw of 67.72, waving her
:08:36. > :08:41.best to last. Retaining her title in Rio from London. The world champion
:08:42. > :08:42.back in 2013 in the discus and the undisputed World War I in this
:08:43. > :09:08.current age up Sandra Perkovic, completely
:09:09. > :09:25.un-catchable in the Diamond race. The men's 800, a mouthwatering race.
:09:26. > :09:37.That is just part of it. We have got the Diamond League leader and Alfred
:09:38. > :09:50.Kipketer, and take courage -- Kipkoech makes up this very good
:09:51. > :09:58.field. 1:43.37. He was second in the 1000 metres in law than, in the
:09:59. > :10:02.Diamond League. -- in Lausanne. What about this man? The Olympic champion
:10:03. > :10:13.got a silver in the 1500 and in the 800 metres in Rio, going very well
:10:14. > :10:23.indeed. Rotich fits in the Olympic final. Bosse is always a threat. The
:10:24. > :10:35.first three were sub 1.43 in that final. He didn't make the final, but
:10:36. > :10:40.he had a Kszczot fast semifinal but didn't make it. -- Kszczot had a
:10:41. > :10:49.fast semifinal, the best non-qualifier in Rio. Berian, the
:10:50. > :11:06.American champion. Made the final and came in in eighth place. There
:11:07. > :11:15.is I young Solomon -- Souleiman. He ran the fifth fastest time of all
:11:16. > :11:25.time a couple of days ago. There is Dahmani, the other French athlete.
:11:26. > :11:30.Rotich was fifth in the Olympic final. There are so many great men
:11:31. > :11:39.in this race, no clear winner. The men's 800 metres.
:11:40. > :11:56.Melly will have to get out and he has gone for a very quick 800
:11:57. > :12:04.metres. Soulieman is there. Berian coming across now. Rotich tucked
:12:05. > :12:21.away on the inside. They come around the bend and enter the straight for
:12:22. > :12:32.the first time. Soulieman, Berian, Kipkoech. And also in their is
:12:33. > :12:35.Kitilit of Kenya. He is a world champion of 1500 and he is kicking
:12:36. > :12:43.on Hardy, he really wants to test this field. Soulieman down the back
:12:44. > :12:56.straight, Kitilit in second place. Third place is Dahmani, the
:12:57. > :13:01.Frenchman running very well indeed. Makhloufi now in fifth place and
:13:02. > :13:05.running well. Soulieman now under pressure. As they head to the home
:13:06. > :13:12.straight, this is going to be a cracking finish! Kitilit heads into
:13:13. > :13:17.the lead. Kitilit running away with this at the moment, or is he? I
:13:18. > :13:23.think this is Rotich, who has come through to take that race right at
:13:24. > :13:32.the end, it is Alfred Kipketer, in fact! What a finish. Kipketer it
:13:33. > :13:46.was, 1:42.88, wonderful race that was. That 1000 still in his legs,
:13:47. > :13:50.Soulieman. Kipketer comes through with flailing arms but he covers the
:13:51. > :13:55.ground well and a super time to boot. White Kitilit looked good, he
:13:56. > :14:02.looked like he could be the man. But Kipketer came from about six places
:14:03. > :14:06.back. I thought it might be Rotich but in fact it was Kipketer. In fact
:14:07. > :14:13.look at the results of this, it was quick. We said they might be slow
:14:14. > :14:19.after the Games, but look at this. Kitilit, 1:43.05, a personal best.
:14:20. > :14:27.Then Rotich, he was closing fast. The polls left behind, but two these
:14:28. > :14:31.and's best and a personal best for Dahmani France who was in the lead
:14:32. > :14:41.in the early stages but then faltered. Rotich still holds onto
:14:42. > :14:48.the lead and Kipketer, well done to him. We go to the pole vault now.
:14:49. > :14:54.Shawn Barber had a disastrous, a disaster in sporting terms in the
:14:55. > :14:55.Olympic Games. 5.50, he went out. He said that the resin he uses just
:14:56. > :15:05.didn't work with the rain. I would have thought the world
:15:06. > :15:10.champion would have known mad. Very quick on the runway. Good clearance.
:15:11. > :15:23.Looks like we will have a good competition, hardly any clearance.
:15:24. > :15:36.She is tall, steady approach. Driving that inside me. 193, still
:15:37. > :15:44.leading. The steeplechase coming up, very good. Some big names in this.
:15:45. > :15:49.We certainly have, the top five from Rio in this. The quality and depth
:15:50. > :15:59.improving on the world scene, the race including the world, and
:16:00. > :16:03.Olympic champion. The German European champion included. As well
:16:04. > :16:14.as the 2012 Olympics champion. 12 in Rio. Emma Coburn looking to put up a
:16:15. > :16:16.substantial challenge, the Kenya and one of the pacemakers. Ruth Jebet
:16:17. > :16:34.Berrer. Will they go with the pacemakers? We
:16:35. > :16:41.are looking at around three minutes for the first kilometre. If Ruth J
:16:42. > :16:49.bet is up to the challenge... And the reigning world champion... They
:16:50. > :16:53.might see something rather special. Ruth Jebet slotting into third
:16:54. > :17:09.place. Cockburn back in eighth place.
:17:10. > :17:20.It looks quick, stretched out already. It certainly looks quick.
:17:21. > :17:25.They started very well and you talk about Jebet, we saw her in Eugene.
:17:26. > :17:32.Breaking nine minutes, racing away from the field. Kiyeng couldn't stay
:17:33. > :17:37.with her, they thought she might come back but she didn't. That is
:17:38. > :17:42.where we first saw the quality of the young athlete. She was mature
:17:43. > :17:45.beyond those years, in the middle of the group. The world champion
:17:46. > :17:50.alongside her. While spread, interesting to see whether the
:17:51. > :17:59.Australian can approach the Australian work word. -- record. It
:18:00. > :18:10.will be interesting to see if she can function in this race. 561 on
:18:11. > :18:12.the first attempt... But he's been having problems with his opening
:18:13. > :18:22.height. He got beaten at the Olympics.
:18:23. > :18:30.Breathing a sigh of relief! To get over the opening height. Well... He
:18:31. > :18:34.has had his problems. Six-metre vaulter at his ferry best, Olympic
:18:35. > :18:39.champion in London, twice the world indoor champion going over six
:18:40. > :18:47.metres but that was a little bit of a fall away to the side. Spectacular
:18:48. > :18:54.first kilometre run, much quicker than the Olympic final. Jebet
:18:55. > :19:00.leading from Kiyeng. Beginning to get away, these two. Kiyeng in
:19:01. > :19:06.second place. Steeplechase personal-best quicker than her three
:19:07. > :19:12.kilometre flat time, quite bizarre. Pursue it flat personal-best, only
:19:13. > :19:16.running 15 point for two, Jebet attacking this and she can maintain
:19:17. > :19:25.this rhythm we could be onto something very special. The world
:19:26. > :19:28.record eight points 58. At the Olympics. Over eight years ago.
:19:29. > :19:41.Kiyeng feeding off the front runner. A big gap between Kiyeng and Jebet
:19:42. > :19:42.in the Olympics. Look at that, subtle increasing pace down the back
:19:43. > :19:58.straight. Into the back straight. How could she have such talent at
:19:59. > :20:04.19? Ten already mentioned the world record could have been in her
:20:05. > :20:10.pocket. The night it could be... Conditions are perfect. The
:20:11. > :20:13.opposition perfect. The world Champion chasing you but she likes
:20:14. > :20:18.to run this way. She comes into the straight. Kiyeng easing away. I
:20:19. > :20:29.should say, Jebet. Cockburn in fourth place leading the
:20:30. > :20:36.pack of some six athletes between fourth and ninth. Jebet dancing at
:20:37. > :20:39.the big screen, as long as she heads to kilometre zone around six
:20:40. > :20:46.minutes, the world record could be on.
:20:47. > :20:58.She uses away from Kiyeng, the Olympic silver-medallist. Ruth
:20:59. > :21:02.Jebet, working out her pacing. I do believe something historic could be
:21:03. > :21:07.unfolding in front of us. I felt with the split she produced in Rio
:21:08. > :21:12.she is capable of something a long way below nine minutes, well inside
:21:13. > :21:20.the existing world record. This is just about perfect. At the moment,
:21:21. > :21:33.she could run three point-macro 04 and still break the world record.
:21:34. > :21:36.The first Olympic champion in Bahrain after Jamal's bronze in
:21:37. > :21:46.London, the fastest team time in Rio. Looked extravagant.
:21:47. > :21:56.Two laps to run. Two and a half laps to do it. Kiyeng running bravely but
:21:57. > :22:01.isolated in second place. A gap behind her of 70 metres. Cockburn in
:22:02. > :22:07.third beginning to ease away from the pack. A sensational piece of
:22:08. > :22:13.running, looks as if she is pushing on better. The world record in
:22:14. > :22:19.danger. Looked like it on three occasions I have seen her run. Got
:22:20. > :22:24.away from the world champion. She enjoys running on her own. Did that
:22:25. > :22:29.in Eugene and in the final stages of the Olympic Games, the final, she
:22:30. > :22:33.went away and unless something extraordinary happens, we are on for
:22:34. > :22:49.a moment of steeplechases Street. She is ten seconds quicker over the
:22:50. > :22:56.barriers, only running 32 and a half minutes for ten kilometres on the
:22:57. > :23:01.road. 19 years old, going through in 743. She can cover the slap and
:23:02. > :23:04.about 75 seconds and still break the world record. This was threatened in
:23:05. > :23:15.Rio. Usually goes. Each of these
:23:16. > :23:21.barriers, get over them well, memories of the men's steeplechase
:23:22. > :23:26.in this stadium last year banished in the minds of those present. She
:23:27. > :23:31.goes down the back straight, 250 left, looks tired. One more jump to
:23:32. > :23:43.come, Ruth Jebet 200 metres to run. CHEERING
:23:44. > :23:50.Watcher Jon for the final time, entering the straight, one barrier
:23:51. > :23:51.to go, the world-record front 2008 by the Russian athlete, living on
:23:52. > :24:02.borrowed time. 50 metres to run, look at the clock,
:24:03. > :24:08.an astonishing world-record! Running for Bahrain... She crosses the
:24:09. > :24:17.line... Opening up a new era in women's steeplechase. The quality
:24:18. > :24:21.gap has been improving, 29 women under 930 this year is unprecedented
:24:22. > :24:26.and now a young lady who is a long way under nine minutes. She could
:24:27. > :24:30.have been Olympic champion in Rio, she chose to save it and the
:24:31. > :24:38.decision was right. There it is. Marvellous world-record, six second
:24:39. > :24:46.improvement. Kiyeng behind the 19-year-old in second. Place Times
:24:47. > :24:51.superb. The first aid athletes under 920.
:24:52. > :24:57.Jebet with 36 points can ironically still be caught by Kiyeng on the
:24:58. > :25:04.final. Sam Kendricks... In good form, of course, when in
:25:05. > :25:24.Lausanne. Squeezing over that. Kendricks going clear at 581.
:25:25. > :25:29.Ironically, first time, after a couple of second time clearances.
:25:30. > :25:35.When he doesn't strain he serves in the U.S. Army as a Second Lieutenant
:25:36. > :25:38.and midstride in real, he stopped to stand to attention for a US national
:25:39. > :25:59.anthem. The triple jump. Nobody getting up to 17 metres as
:26:00. > :26:05.yet. That was very close to 17, looking closely, they normally know.
:26:06. > :26:09.Pretty closely, within an inch or two, 16 metres 85, consistent but
:26:10. > :26:36.not hitting the big marks. Opened with 1661 and then 16 37, big
:26:37. > :26:41.jump in the third round, 16 92, took the lead and retained the lead.
:26:42. > :26:48.Carter, winner of the triple jump, long way behind the board with that,
:26:49. > :26:54.that dumbing down at 16 49 but he takes the win. Confirmation of his
:26:55. > :26:59.leading home. Taylor leads the diamond race by a
:27:00. > :27:06.big margin. The next event, the women's 200
:27:07. > :27:42.metres. Not a great deal in it are not bend.
:27:43. > :27:46.Dafne Schippers has pulled out. Henry going well on the outside
:27:47. > :27:55.lane. That may show Bruce gets there... Could have been Henry
:27:56. > :27:56.O'Hara brandy me. Brandy me ran a brilliant bend but Dafne Schippers
:27:57. > :28:04.easing away. A big personal-best, 20 to 46 for
:28:05. > :28:42.the Britain. The second throw for the Ukrainian,
:28:43. > :28:52.86 in the first. Yes! Yes! Close to 85, could be in the lead or close to
:28:53. > :29:00.it. Hardly a breath in this stadium, the flags are lying alongside, no
:29:01. > :29:10.movement... There it is. No movement whatsoever.
:29:11. > :29:17.The third attempt for the French man, the Olympic silver-medallist
:29:18. > :29:21.and that is nice... Yes Xtra-vision Mark LAUGHTER
:29:22. > :29:22.When things are not going brilliantly you can celebrate with
:29:23. > :29:39.small victories. Cleared by 81, under real pressure.
:29:40. > :29:48.A monstrous sigh of relief. The adoring home fans. He is well clear.
:29:49. > :29:53.Plenty of height. Between the world-record holder and the bar. He
:29:54. > :30:02.hasn't been firing on also lingers recently. -- on all cylinders. The
:30:03. > :30:07.women's 1500 metres next, the athletes out and lined up. 17
:30:08. > :30:19.starting with two pacemakers and fodder race promises to be. Nine of
:30:20. > :30:22.the real top ten are here. Including the Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon.
:30:23. > :31:01.Judy Kiyeng one of the pacemakers. Jenny Simpson, that perfectly judged
:31:02. > :31:11.race. What a race it was, passing Laura Muir. Half a dozen young
:31:12. > :31:18.Africans against the veterans from the USA, Jenny Simpson and Shannon
:31:19. > :31:34.Rowbury. Genzebe Dibaba the Olympic champion
:31:35. > :31:46.the only absentee here of real significance. Took the Olympic
:31:47. > :31:51.silver behind Kipyegon, but I wonder whether Kipyegon herself will be
:31:52. > :31:55.fired up by the news of that astonishing 8.52 in the
:31:56. > :32:02.steeplechase, smashing the world record by over six seconds. We're
:32:03. > :32:12.looking for 64 seconds exactly from the pacemaker and then... I'm
:32:13. > :32:17.surprised they haven't asked for something a bit quicker when
:32:18. > :32:30.Kipyegon is clearly in the low 3.15s after the way the 300 are unfolded.
:32:31. > :32:33.You don't very often see that, and I enjoy watching Laura Muir of Great
:32:34. > :32:38.Britain run. She's always up there or thereabouts in these kind of
:32:39. > :32:42.races. She didn't -- it didn't quite work for her, she tried to go with
:32:43. > :32:46.it at the Olympic Games, her strategy not quite right. Look at
:32:47. > :32:50.Jenny Simpson, she's been here for a week and she is in fourth place in
:32:51. > :32:55.the race, behind the pacemaker. She's one of the most experienced
:32:56. > :33:01.athletes. Remember, she won the world title in 2011, a silver medal
:33:02. > :33:05.in 2013. She has been in the major championships. This is now stringing
:33:06. > :33:11.out, a respectable pace, for sure. They went through 463.97. I would
:33:12. > :33:17.like to say that is perfect, because we're looking for 64, but that means
:33:18. > :33:24.the athletes behind her ran through in the high 64s, 65s. That is a bit
:33:25. > :33:30.on the slow side. Kipyegon, the Olympic champion. Jenny Simpson
:33:31. > :33:39.right up there on her shoulder, in fourth. Hassan, in sixth place.
:33:40. > :33:46.Sado, then Shannon Rowbury. Laura Muir, who ran so strongly last year.
:33:47. > :33:54.That is on the slow side, it really is. That is a shame. How quickly can
:33:55. > :34:02.they run here? She knows that second lap was too slow, Kiyeng, that is
:34:03. > :34:07.why she is accelerating. Laura Muir knows she can handle this. I thought
:34:08. > :34:14.she misjudged the Olympic final badly. She looks to be getting it
:34:15. > :34:20.right here, Stuart. She really surges now, with 450 metres to go.
:34:21. > :34:25.The chase is on for those behind. Hassan recognising the danger. Well,
:34:26. > :34:37.they have seen Laura Muir do this before. Now with 400 metres to go,
:34:38. > :34:43.she has got the lead and those with higher at the moment... It is Laura
:34:44. > :34:48.Muir who leads at the moment. They have just run a 61 second lap. Laura
:34:49. > :34:52.Muir going hard down the back straight and Hassan trying to get
:34:53. > :34:58.back on terms. Kipyegon looks beaten on this occasion. This is the ideal
:34:59. > :35:04.unfolding of a race for Laura Muir, the Scot. The Briton so disappointed
:35:05. > :35:09.with her seventh place finish in Rio as she saw one body after another go
:35:10. > :35:13.past in the last 300 metres. Into the straight now! The attack is
:35:14. > :35:18.coming but it's not going to get there, I think. Kipyegon, in second
:35:19. > :35:25.place now, easing past Hassan. Laura Muir now, this is what she wanted in
:35:26. > :35:32.Rio, a much more representative run from the Brits, watch the clock! My
:35:33. > :35:34.word, 3:55.24, she has smashed the British record and that is indeed
:35:35. > :35:39.the fastest time in the world this year! Laura Muir, we knew it was
:35:40. > :35:44.coming all-star it's a meeting record to boot, for the Scot. That
:35:45. > :35:50.had to be possible. She looked so fantastic in Rio but misjudged it in
:35:51. > :35:55.my humble opinion when she followed Dibaba's almost suicidal surge from
:35:56. > :36:00.halfway through to about 200 to go when Kipyegon eased past her. That
:36:01. > :36:10.astonishing statistic, that last 800 in well under 1.58, the pair of
:36:11. > :36:20.them. A meeting record, world lead and a British national record for
:36:21. > :36:24.the Scot. Hassan, 3:57.13 and Shannon Rowbury, a season's best
:36:25. > :36:31.come in fourth place. Billion times in the women's 1500 metres.
:36:32. > :36:36.Kipyegon, 36 points, Laura Muir on 28. She could catch the Olympic
:36:37. > :36:43.champion in the final if Kipyegon doesn't have a good run. Now, what
:36:44. > :36:54.can Trost achieve here? It is an important jump. It is her final
:36:55. > :37:03.jump. No. That is the end of her competition. A 1.93 clearance, three
:37:04. > :37:09.failures at 1.96. Spencer is the other athlete left in. She is
:37:10. > :37:20.attempting 1.98 right now. A real test for her. For anybody, really.
:37:21. > :37:29.Set that personal best back in 2010. Just lost the confidence as she
:37:30. > :37:36.nudged the bar, drifted through it. That is her first failure, 1.98. It
:37:37. > :37:43.is not a season 's best, but on the last height, Beitia looked very
:37:44. > :37:55.comfortable indeed. 1.98, very much in her compass. That is a fabulous
:37:56. > :37:57.jump indeed. 1.98. It equals her season's best, and there looks to me
:37:58. > :38:14.to be more to come. I understand that Laverne Spencer
:38:15. > :38:17.maybe not feeling well. Look at that clearance, that is an astonishing
:38:18. > :38:23.clearance. That is as good as it gets, really. That is two metre plus
:38:24. > :38:34.jumping. If she can maintain that, we may see two metres here. Now,
:38:35. > :38:45.Vadlejc, from the Czech Republic, a nation with such strong tradition in
:38:46. > :38:50.the javelin. That is big! My word! Around 87, 88 metres. He has really
:38:51. > :38:56.hit that one nicely, in a windless stadium, not getting any help at all
:38:57. > :39:00.from the conditions. A really heavy night, the air is thick, and
:39:01. > :39:06.anywhere around 85 metres plus is pretty special in these conditions,
:39:07. > :39:14.no doubt about it. That takes the lead, and a new personal best
:39:15. > :39:17.nonetheless. Weber, then. Third round of this javelin competition
:39:18. > :39:25.which has started to liven up. Oh! He has it that well. And that is
:39:26. > :39:33.about... Look at that. That is about 86.50, 87 -ish? Well, Weber really
:39:34. > :39:37.now beginning to hit that javelin hard. What a fast arm he has got on
:39:38. > :39:47.the rest of him, former European junior champion. He is the future
:39:48. > :39:55.committee is only 21. So, that is a throw to be celebrated. Now, what is
:39:56. > :40:06.it? 87.39! That is a great, great performance. Just short of his
:40:07. > :40:11.personal best. So, Thomas Rohler, he needs a good distance here because
:40:12. > :40:15.he is down in sixth place. His best is 91.28 this year and that is just
:40:16. > :40:22.shy of the 85 metre mark and he's not happy, is he? He's not happy at
:40:23. > :40:26.all. It's around 84, probably. Not quite getting the timing right.
:40:27. > :40:34.There is so much that can go wrong. A little shake of the head. The
:40:35. > :40:45.javelin throw is back in German hands at the moment. 84.16, third
:40:46. > :40:52.place. Vadlejch winning the javelin with that personal best. Rohler
:40:53. > :41:01.having to settle for third place in Paris. Renaud Lavillenie. A
:41:02. > :41:10.last-gasp effort from the Frenchman, the Olympic silver medallist. Going
:41:11. > :41:18.for 5.8 seven. Already two failures from Hendrix. That is nice and now
:41:19. > :41:22.the pressure is applied to the American! Isn't it nice to see him
:41:23. > :41:29.celebrating? With the pressure of the Olympic final behind you, this
:41:30. > :41:33.is a mere nothing. The friendship and camaraderie a little more
:41:34. > :41:47.evident than it might have been a week back. Hendrix, the questions
:41:48. > :41:50.will be asked of him now. -- Sam Kendricks, the questions will be
:41:51. > :41:59.asked of him now. Sam Kendricks, then. Third and final attempt at
:42:00. > :42:04.5.87. Won over Renaud Lavillenie a couple of nights ago, can he do it
:42:05. > :42:12.again? No, he can't. But a great competition again. The Frenchman
:42:13. > :42:20.this time wins over the American. 5.87, 5.8 one. I just wonder whether
:42:21. > :42:23.Renaud Lavillenie will move on. There is the line-up for the women's
:42:24. > :42:39.100-metre hurdles. Well, Sydney of Feeley had a good
:42:40. > :42:46.Olympic Games and just missed out on the podium, was fourth -- Cindy
:42:47. > :42:56.Ofili. She was just ahead of her sister. Nadeem Hildebrand. And Gomis
:42:57. > :43:01.of France on the outside. They run from lanes two to nine, so Lane one
:43:02. > :43:10.will not be used. The women's 100-metre hurdles. Can she run
:43:11. > :43:30.another fine run or will the others challenge?
:43:31. > :43:38.Away this time, Harrison has got away well. Cindy Ofili going quite
:43:39. > :43:41.strongly, here comes Harrison now and Dawn Harper-Nelson going well,
:43:42. > :43:48.but Harrison is going to win this one. That was 12.45, so she has
:43:49. > :43:58.really run an awful lot of quick times. The meeting record
:43:59. > :44:02.incidentally still stands, 12.2 to Enqvist Russia, set back in 1992.
:44:03. > :44:09.But certainly the world record holder made easy work, there. It has
:44:10. > :44:14.been rounded down just a little bit. 12.44. Dawn Harper-Nelson was
:44:15. > :44:20.second, 12.65, a season's best for her, and Cindy Ofili in third. She
:44:21. > :44:23.just makes room for these hurdles. Beautiful technique. Not quite as
:44:24. > :44:28.fine as we've seen, I've said on several occasions but this is as
:44:29. > :44:32.good as you can get and it really is close to that. Just a couple of
:44:33. > :44:38.tenths of a second off a world record, but goodness me, she's such
:44:39. > :44:45.a good sprinter too. The race is great for her. Kendra Harrison,
:44:46. > :44:47.12.44. Cindy Ofili, 12.66, third place. A good win over Jasmine Stour
:44:48. > :45:12.'s. He has the stage to himself! Gives
:45:13. > :45:16.it a clip but it stays up! CHEERING
:45:17. > :45:22.The celebrations continue for the French man in front of his home
:45:23. > :45:27.crowd. He can never make up for the disappointment and boy did he
:45:28. > :45:35.showed, that silver medal in Rio. Five metres 93, only a couple of
:45:36. > :45:42.inches shy, five centimetres he was in Rio, his season's best. I bet you
:45:43. > :45:49.he goes to six metres now, I bet you he does, he will want to approach
:45:50. > :45:57.six 03 that was made in the Olympics.
:45:58. > :46:07.Attempting over two metres for the third and final time, can the
:46:08. > :46:14.Olympic champion do this? This had her third and final attempt. Not to
:46:15. > :46:18.be... Nevertheless, to come away from the Olympics in Rio and come
:46:19. > :46:24.back here and performed as she has done, 198, a centimetre higher than
:46:25. > :46:29.she achieved in the Olympics but it's the manner of the clearances, a
:46:30. > :46:32.lot more in the tank. Levern Spencer, season's best withdrew from
:46:33. > :46:53.the event, maintaining second. We promised you six metres. Making
:46:54. > :47:05.the adjustment on the brights. Very fast... No, no... And there is the
:47:06. > :47:11.pole vault result. 593... Over Kendricks. 52 points to the French
:47:12. > :47:21.man, and unassailable lead. I know we have a 3,000-metre race
:47:22. > :47:35.coming up and here is the start list.
:47:36. > :47:41.What a field it is. Ryan Gregson, looking for a personal-best, the
:47:42. > :48:24.Australian. Are they going to hit the 60 second
:48:25. > :48:31.rhythm that has been requested? Conditions possibly a little bit too
:48:32. > :48:39.warm. The fabulous world-record in the women's steeplechase one about
:48:40. > :48:43.40 minutes ago, good for the 800-metre runners and Laura Muir
:48:44. > :48:48.with that reddish record in the 1500 metres. They haven't gone off
:48:49. > :49:02.quickly. Don't look to be too many takers. -- British record.
:49:03. > :49:10.Chelimo, the Olympic silver-medallist in second place.
:49:11. > :49:21.Making his debut for 3000 out laws, assured of a personal-best. --
:49:22. > :49:27.outdoors. Third place in the women's long jump, the Estonian. Balter. A
:49:28. > :49:35.good athlete, 29-year-old, fourth in the European Championships, sixth in
:49:36. > :49:39.the Olympics in Rio. Almost as good as her Rio performance, six metres
:49:40. > :49:48.75. Couldn't produce anything better.
:49:49. > :49:52.Ugen who had a disappointing Olympics came through with a
:49:53. > :49:57.season's best in the second round of the long jump, second place, six
:49:58. > :50:12.metres 80, real problems in the Olympic Games, but then it was left
:50:13. > :50:21.to Spanovic. The 26-year-old Serb, winner in Lausanne. A week or so
:50:22. > :50:27.after a bronze medal, in Rio, seven metres, eight centimetres, took two
:50:28. > :50:34.jumps, this in the second round, no jump in the first round, six metres
:50:35. > :50:41.90, carrying a niggle. Retired after this jump, six metres 90, stayed out
:50:42. > :50:53.in front. It was a win for the Serbian. There it is, confirmation.
:50:54. > :51:04.56 points makes Spanovic way out in front and cannot be caught. This has
:51:05. > :51:13.been economic pacemaking. Going through four and a half laps almost
:51:14. > :51:25.spot on four minutes 30. Edward is second-fastest in the behind Mo
:51:26. > :51:36.Farah this year. -- Iguider. Chelimo strongly up the back straight. 459.
:51:37. > :51:44.Down to Iguider, 20 metres. They come around the crown of the bend.
:51:45. > :51:53.Gebrhiwet in third, maintaining his epic 12. An Ethiopian dustup going
:51:54. > :51:56.on. Iguider coming through, we are looking for 530 to maintain this
:51:57. > :52:06.ribbon and in fact, he has accelerated. Turning the screw. Even
:52:07. > :52:12.if the others excel rate, they will not close the gap significantly. It
:52:13. > :52:16.looks good to go underneath 730, the range he is going, doesn't looked to
:52:17. > :52:23.be tiring and the others are a long way back. A lap and a half to go,
:52:24. > :52:29.they are accusing a little bit. -- closing. Good leg speed, Iguider, as
:52:30. > :52:36.he goes around the bend, past the 200-metre mark. A lap and 250 metres
:52:37. > :52:40.to go, still looking fresh. Soon be in the home straight, 100 metres,
:52:41. > :52:46.closing a little bit but if he can maintain this place this will be
:52:47. > :52:57.very quick. Just under 500 to run for Iguider. Rop in third, probably
:52:58. > :53:04.the best distance for Iguider. A fabulous 1500 metre runner, running
:53:05. > :53:10.a long way under 330, a great 5,000-metre runner, breaking 13
:53:11. > :53:14.minutes but he does not get the chance to meet and beat the best but
:53:15. > :53:31.that 3000 he is making a good fist of this although the chase is on.
:53:32. > :53:38.Your mouth to gel care -- Rio... Closing with every stride. --
:53:39. > :53:42.Kejelcha. The Ethiopians coming. 130 to run, Kejelcha on the shoulder of
:53:43. > :53:47.Iguider for the first time, the Moroccan not able to respond, a
:53:48. > :53:52.tell-tale glance over his shoulder. He cannot go with it, Kejelcha
:53:53. > :54:00.judging this to perfection, easing away to a ten-metre loss when, look
:54:01. > :54:04.at the clock, 728, Iguider in second place, Gebrhiwet in third, brilliant
:54:05. > :54:11.run from Ryan Hill to take fourth for the USA. Kejelcha winning, a
:54:12. > :54:17.world junior record, world under 20 record as it is called these days.
:54:18. > :54:27.Fastest time in the world this year. Absolutely superb by Kejelcha. A
:54:28. > :54:29.world under 20 record for the Ethiopia. A personal-best for
:54:30. > :54:47.Iguider. Kejelcha could catch address, come
:54:48. > :55:07.the final. The men's 100 metres coming up.
:55:08. > :55:13.Collins, fifth Olympics in Rio, retired three times but the
:55:14. > :55:15.youngsters keep bringing me back, he said. Personal-best said this
:55:16. > :55:35.season. Christophe Lemaitre has pulled out,
:55:36. > :55:41.there is vehicle, the French man. Promised much in the European
:55:42. > :55:58.Championships but did not perform well. -- Vicaut. Rogers, the former
:55:59. > :56:08.indoor specialist. There is Ben Youssef Meite, from the ivory Coast.
:56:09. > :56:14.What can you say about Martina? National record, superb run from the
:56:15. > :56:21.Netherlands in Lausanne. And be run, young Briton, 27, 996 this season.
:56:22. > :57:05.-- Fearon. Away first time. Collins going well.
:57:06. > :57:10.Vicaut left behind, Ben Youssef Meite takes this, he does, looks
:57:11. > :57:17.like Symbian South Africa in second place. The time... A great run from
:57:18. > :57:24.the ivory Coast, came through strongly in the end. Collins always
:57:25. > :57:31.gets away, then use that might coming through, Rogers not able to
:57:32. > :57:34.match him. On the near side, Martina coming through, so strong in the
:57:35. > :57:41.final stages. You can never discount. The results...
:57:42. > :57:56.The winner equalling the national record. Joel Fearon from Great
:57:57. > :58:03.Britain in fourth place. Remember, double points in the finals. A quite
:58:04. > :58:10.outstanding night here, national and world records set.
:58:11. > :58:16.Studio-macro that is built from Paris, but penultimate Diamond
:58:17. > :58:21.League meeting comes from Zurich, highlights on Saturday the 3rd of
:58:22. > :58:26.September. Then it's Brussels and the final Diamond League from
:58:27. > :58:46.Brussels and 2016, highlights on BBC One. From all of us, goodbye.
:58:47. > :58:53.A proper divorce is built on a solid foundation of hate.
