Hello. We are in Paris for the second of two Diamond League

:00:48.:00:57.

meetings in a week. Now it is time for the stars of track and field,

:00:58.:01:03.

many still in peak fitness post Rio. So there is an anticipation that

:01:04.:01:05.

records may be broken here. Tim Hutchings and Stuart Storey are

:01:06.:01:48.

your commentators. COMMENTATOR: First to enter the

:01:49.:01:57.

track, the 400 metre hurdles for men. There is the line-up. The

:01:58.:02:08.

Olympic champion, Karen Clement, goes in this one. Kerron Clement,

:02:09.:02:21.

the champion, 47.7 three. A race in which four men went under 48

:02:22.:02:31.

seconds, never seen that. This man, Nicholas bet of Kenny, now the

:02:32.:02:39.

Kenyan number to the hind Boniface Tumuti. A season's best in Rio. A

:02:40.:02:49.

dearth of sub 48 second performances until we came to the Olympics and

:02:50.:02:53.

then for men did it. The Diamond League record is 47.62. How will the

:02:54.:03:03.

Olympic champion fair here? He is the Diamond League leader of course.

:03:04.:03:08.

Tinsley needs a really good race to set himself back up in terms of

:03:09.:03:14.

confidence. Look at the Olympic champion, Kerron Clement. Watch out

:03:15.:03:23.

for the man in the orange vest, he is tough in the second half of the

:03:24.:03:27.

race. Nicholas Bett is having the race of the season at the moment.

:03:28.:03:31.

The Olympic champion Kerron Clement on his shoulder now. Colson going

:03:32.:03:37.

well, Nicholas Bett leading, here comes Clement. Bett is going to take

:03:38.:03:48.

this! What a race from the Kenyan. Bett takes it, with Clement in

:03:49.:03:55.

second place. What a run that is. He's just got that inconsistency at

:03:56.:03:58.

the moment, the reigning world champion, who couldn't find anything

:03:59.:04:05.

like that form in Rio but of course did take the silver medal. 48.01, a

:04:06.:04:10.

season's best for him. As we see Clement leading the

:04:11.:04:21.

Diamond race with 31 points from Colson's 25, with Tinsley on 24. The

:04:22.:04:27.

men's shot put was an absolutely terrific competition. Kurt Roberts

:04:28.:04:36.

spent the day fighting off Ryan Whiting for third place. His

:04:37.:04:45.

season's best of 20.78 saw off Ryan Whiting's 20.65. Ryan Crouser, this

:04:46.:04:54.

was sensational. 21 metres and 99 centimetres. That of course was a

:04:55.:04:57.

new meeting record, taking the record held by the Swiss athlete in

:04:58.:05:06.

1992. Tom Walsh had already in the second round established the first

:05:07.:05:10.

record, which we saw Ryan Crouser beating, there. But in this sixth

:05:11.:05:15.

and final round, it saw Tom Walsh, the New Zealander, second in the

:05:16.:05:21.

Diamond race, the Olympic bronze medallist, launched this 16 lbs ball

:05:22.:05:26.

out to 22 metres! It was absolutely first class. He came here with a

:05:27.:05:36.

personal best of 21.62 and goes away with 22 metres, a new meeting record

:05:37.:05:45.

and that is absolutely first class. The Olympic champion in second. Kurt

:05:46.:05:49.

Roberts in third. Look at the points. The ladies have been waiting

:05:50.:05:56.

patiently down on the track for the start of this women's race, the 400

:05:57.:06:03.

metres. Three Rio medallists go in this race.

:06:04.:06:21.

Hastings, in the lighter shorts, she has gone off very quickly, already

:06:22.:06:35.

closing others down. Hastings certainly leading, now MacPherson

:06:36.:06:40.

getting into her running well. Hastings has steadied right down. A

:06:41.:06:48.

surge off the bend. It is MacPherson who leads but here comes Hastings,

:06:49.:06:53.

working hard on her arms. Still going well is Eilidh Doyle in three.

:06:54.:07:01.

Hastings now gets onto the shoulder. These two battling it out once

:07:02.:07:04.

again. It could be the order of the Olympic Games for these two. 50.08

:07:05.:07:12.

from Natasha Hastings. That is very close to her season's best of 49.90.

:07:13.:07:18.

She worked really well for that and really judge that race to

:07:19.:07:29.

perfection, didn't she? 50.06 for the first time.

:07:30.:07:33.

The women's discus competitions a night, Caballero in third place.

:07:34.:07:43.

Just one valid throw for Caballero from her series. That was it, 61.98,

:07:44.:07:47.

for the reigning Beijing champion. Robert-Michon producing her best in

:07:48.:08:03.

round six. This one going out to 64.36, for the French athlete, who

:08:04.:08:10.

is at her best almost a 67 metre throw. She took the silver in Rio. A

:08:11.:08:17.

fabulous effort at a senior age. At Sandra Perkovic on top in rear and

:08:18.:08:23.

very much on top tonight. She won with a throw of 67.72, waving her

:08:24.:08:35.

best to last. Retaining her title in Rio from London. The world champion

:08:36.:08:41.

back in 2013 in the discus and the undisputed World War I in this

:08:42.:08:42.

current age up Sandra Perkovic, completely

:08:43.:09:08.

un-catchable in the Diamond race. The men's 800, a mouthwatering race.

:09:09.:09:25.

That is just part of it. We have got the Diamond League leader and Alfred

:09:26.:09:37.

Kipketer, and take courage -- Kipkoech makes up this very good

:09:38.:09:50.

field. 1:43.37. He was second in the 1000 metres in law than, in the

:09:51.:09:58.

Diamond League. -- in Lausanne. What about this man? The Olympic champion

:09:59.:10:02.

got a silver in the 1500 and in the 800 metres in Rio, going very well

:10:03.:10:13.

indeed. Rotich fits in the Olympic final. Bosse is always a threat. The

:10:14.:10:23.

first three were sub 1.43 in that final. He didn't make the final, but

:10:24.:10:35.

he had a Kszczot fast semifinal but didn't make it. -- Kszczot had a

:10:36.:10:40.

fast semifinal, the best non-qualifier in Rio. Berian, the

:10:41.:10:49.

American champion. Made the final and came in in eighth place. There

:10:50.:11:06.

is I young Solomon -- Souleiman. He ran the fifth fastest time of all

:11:07.:11:15.

time a couple of days ago. There is Dahmani, the other French athlete.

:11:16.:11:25.

Rotich was fifth in the Olympic final. There are so many great men

:11:26.:11:30.

in this race, no clear winner. The men's 800 metres.

:11:31.:11:39.

Melly will have to get out and he has gone for a very quick 800

:11:40.:11:56.

metres. Soulieman is there. Berian coming across now. Rotich tucked

:11:57.:12:04.

away on the inside. They come around the bend and enter the straight for

:12:05.:12:21.

the first time. Soulieman, Berian, Kipkoech. And also in their is

:12:22.:12:32.

Kitilit of Kenya. He is a world champion of 1500 and he is kicking

:12:33.:12:35.

on Hardy, he really wants to test this field. Soulieman down the back

:12:36.:12:43.

straight, Kitilit in second place. Third place is Dahmani, the

:12:44.:12:56.

Frenchman running very well indeed. Makhloufi now in fifth place and

:12:57.:13:01.

running well. Soulieman now under pressure. As they head to the home

:13:02.:13:05.

straight, this is going to be a cracking finish! Kitilit heads into

:13:06.:13:12.

the lead. Kitilit running away with this at the moment, or is he? I

:13:13.:13:17.

think this is Rotich, who has come through to take that race right at

:13:18.:13:23.

the end, it is Alfred Kipketer, in fact! What a finish. Kipketer it

:13:24.:13:32.

was, 1:42.88, wonderful race that was. That 1000 still in his legs,

:13:33.:13:46.

Soulieman. Kipketer comes through with flailing arms but he covers the

:13:47.:13:50.

ground well and a super time to boot. White Kitilit looked good, he

:13:51.:13:55.

looked like he could be the man. But Kipketer came from about six places

:13:56.:14:02.

back. I thought it might be Rotich but in fact it was Kipketer. In fact

:14:03.:14:06.

look at the results of this, it was quick. We said they might be slow

:14:07.:14:13.

after the Games, but look at this. Kitilit, 1:43.05, a personal best.

:14:14.:14:19.

Then Rotich, he was closing fast. The polls left behind, but two these

:14:20.:14:27.

and's best and a personal best for Dahmani France who was in the lead

:14:28.:14:31.

in the early stages but then faltered. Rotich still holds onto

:14:32.:14:41.

the lead and Kipketer, well done to him. We go to the pole vault now.

:14:42.:14:48.

Shawn Barber had a disastrous, a disaster in sporting terms in the

:14:49.:14:54.

Olympic Games. 5.50, he went out. He said that the resin he uses just

:14:55.:14:55.

didn't work with the rain. I would have thought the world

:14:56.:15:05.

champion would have known mad. Very quick on the runway. Good clearance.

:15:06.:15:10.

Looks like we will have a good competition, hardly any clearance.

:15:11.:15:23.

She is tall, steady approach. Driving that inside me. 193, still

:15:24.:15:36.

leading. The steeplechase coming up, very good. Some big names in this.

:15:37.:15:44.

We certainly have, the top five from Rio in this. The quality and depth

:15:45.:15:49.

improving on the world scene, the race including the world, and

:15:50.:15:59.

Olympic champion. The German European champion included. As well

:16:00.:16:03.

as the 2012 Olympics champion. 12 in Rio. Emma Coburn looking to put up a

:16:04.:16:14.

substantial challenge, the Kenya and one of the pacemakers. Ruth Jebet

:16:15.:16:16.

Berrer. Will they go with the pacemakers? We

:16:17.:16:34.

are looking at around three minutes for the first kilometre. If Ruth J

:16:35.:16:41.

bet is up to the challenge... And the reigning world champion... They

:16:42.:16:49.

might see something rather special. Ruth Jebet slotting into third

:16:50.:16:53.

place. Cockburn back in eighth place.

:16:54.:17:09.

It looks quick, stretched out already. It certainly looks quick.

:17:10.:17:20.

They started very well and you talk about Jebet, we saw her in Eugene.

:17:21.:17:25.

Breaking nine minutes, racing away from the field. Kiyeng couldn't stay

:17:26.:17:32.

with her, they thought she might come back but she didn't. That is

:17:33.:17:37.

where we first saw the quality of the young athlete. She was mature

:17:38.:17:42.

beyond those years, in the middle of the group. The world champion

:17:43.:17:45.

alongside her. While spread, interesting to see whether the

:17:46.:17:50.

Australian can approach the Australian work word. -- record. It

:17:51.:17:59.

will be interesting to see if she can function in this race. 561 on

:18:00.:18:10.

the first attempt... But he's been having problems with his opening

:18:11.:18:12.

height. He got beaten at the Olympics.

:18:13.:18:22.

Breathing a sigh of relief! To get over the opening height. Well... He

:18:23.:18:30.

has had his problems. Six-metre vaulter at his ferry best, Olympic

:18:31.:18:34.

champion in London, twice the world indoor champion going over six

:18:35.:18:39.

metres but that was a little bit of a fall away to the side. Spectacular

:18:40.:18:47.

first kilometre run, much quicker than the Olympic final. Jebet

:18:48.:18:54.

leading from Kiyeng. Beginning to get away, these two. Kiyeng in

:18:55.:19:00.

second place. Steeplechase personal-best quicker than her three

:19:01.:19:06.

kilometre flat time, quite bizarre. Pursue it flat personal-best, only

:19:07.:19:12.

running 15 point for two, Jebet attacking this and she can maintain

:19:13.:19:16.

this rhythm we could be onto something very special. The world

:19:17.:19:25.

record eight points 58. At the Olympics. Over eight years ago.

:19:26.:19:28.

Kiyeng feeding off the front runner. A big gap between Kiyeng and Jebet

:19:29.:19:41.

in the Olympics. Look at that, subtle increasing pace down the back

:19:42.:19:42.

straight. Into the back straight. How could she have such talent at

:19:43.:19:58.

19? Ten already mentioned the world record could have been in her

:19:59.:20:04.

pocket. The night it could be... Conditions are perfect. The

:20:05.:20:10.

opposition perfect. The world Champion chasing you but she likes

:20:11.:20:13.

to run this way. She comes into the straight. Kiyeng easing away. I

:20:14.:20:18.

should say, Jebet. Cockburn in fourth place leading the

:20:19.:20:29.

pack of some six athletes between fourth and ninth. Jebet dancing at

:20:30.:20:36.

the big screen, as long as she heads to kilometre zone around six

:20:37.:20:39.

minutes, the world record could be on.

:20:40.:20:46.

She uses away from Kiyeng, the Olympic silver-medallist. Ruth

:20:47.:20:58.

Jebet, working out her pacing. I do believe something historic could be

:20:59.:21:02.

unfolding in front of us. I felt with the split she produced in Rio

:21:03.:21:07.

she is capable of something a long way below nine minutes, well inside

:21:08.:21:12.

the existing world record. This is just about perfect. At the moment,

:21:13.:21:20.

she could run three point-macro 04 and still break the world record.

:21:21.:21:33.

The first Olympic champion in Bahrain after Jamal's bronze in

:21:34.:21:36.

London, the fastest team time in Rio. Looked extravagant.

:21:37.:21:46.

Two laps to run. Two and a half laps to do it. Kiyeng running bravely but

:21:47.:21:56.

isolated in second place. A gap behind her of 70 metres. Cockburn in

:21:57.:22:01.

third beginning to ease away from the pack. A sensational piece of

:22:02.:22:07.

running, looks as if she is pushing on better. The world record in

:22:08.:22:13.

danger. Looked like it on three occasions I have seen her run. Got

:22:14.:22:19.

away from the world champion. She enjoys running on her own. Did that

:22:20.:22:24.

in Eugene and in the final stages of the Olympic Games, the final, she

:22:25.:22:29.

went away and unless something extraordinary happens, we are on for

:22:30.:22:33.

a moment of steeplechases Street. She is ten seconds quicker over the

:22:34.:22:49.

barriers, only running 32 and a half minutes for ten kilometres on the

:22:50.:22:56.

road. 19 years old, going through in 743. She can cover the slap and

:22:57.:23:01.

about 75 seconds and still break the world record. This was threatened in

:23:02.:23:04.

Rio. Usually goes. Each of these

:23:05.:23:15.

barriers, get over them well, memories of the men's steeplechase

:23:16.:23:21.

in this stadium last year banished in the minds of those present. She

:23:22.:23:26.

goes down the back straight, 250 left, looks tired. One more jump to

:23:27.:23:31.

come, Ruth Jebet 200 metres to run. CHEERING

:23:32.:23:43.

Watcher Jon for the final time, entering the straight, one barrier

:23:44.:23:50.

to go, the world-record front 2008 by the Russian athlete, living on

:23:51.:23:51.

borrowed time. 50 metres to run, look at the clock,

:23:52.:24:02.

an astonishing world-record! Running for Bahrain... She crosses the

:24:03.:24:08.

line... Opening up a new era in women's steeplechase. The quality

:24:09.:24:17.

gap has been improving, 29 women under 930 this year is unprecedented

:24:18.:24:21.

and now a young lady who is a long way under nine minutes. She could

:24:22.:24:26.

have been Olympic champion in Rio, she chose to save it and the

:24:27.:24:30.

decision was right. There it is. Marvellous world-record, six second

:24:31.:24:38.

improvement. Kiyeng behind the 19-year-old in second. Place Times

:24:39.:24:46.

superb. The first aid athletes under 920.

:24:47.:24:51.

Jebet with 36 points can ironically still be caught by Kiyeng on the

:24:52.:24:57.

final. Sam Kendricks... In good form, of course, when in

:24:58.:25:04.

Lausanne. Squeezing over that. Kendricks going clear at 581.

:25:05.:25:24.

Ironically, first time, after a couple of second time clearances.

:25:25.:25:29.

When he doesn't strain he serves in the U.S. Army as a Second Lieutenant

:25:30.:25:35.

and midstride in real, he stopped to stand to attention for a US national

:25:36.:25:38.

anthem. The triple jump. Nobody getting up to 17 metres as

:25:39.:25:59.

yet. That was very close to 17, looking closely, they normally know.

:26:00.:26:05.

Pretty closely, within an inch or two, 16 metres 85, consistent but

:26:06.:26:09.

not hitting the big marks. Opened with 1661 and then 16 37, big

:26:10.:26:36.

jump in the third round, 16 92, took the lead and retained the lead.

:26:37.:26:41.

Carter, winner of the triple jump, long way behind the board with that,

:26:42.:26:48.

that dumbing down at 16 49 but he takes the win. Confirmation of his

:26:49.:26:54.

leading home. Taylor leads the diamond race by a

:26:55.:26:59.

big margin. The next event, the women's 200

:27:00.:27:06.

metres. Not a great deal in it are not bend.

:27:07.:27:42.

Dafne Schippers has pulled out. Henry going well on the outside

:27:43.:27:46.

lane. That may show Bruce gets there... Could have been Henry

:27:47.:27:55.

O'Hara brandy me. Brandy me ran a brilliant bend but Dafne Schippers

:27:56.:27:56.

easing away. A big personal-best, 20 to 46 for

:27:57.:28:04.

the Britain. The second throw for the Ukrainian,

:28:05.:28:42.

86 in the first. Yes! Yes! Close to 85, could be in the lead or close to

:28:43.:28:52.

it. Hardly a breath in this stadium, the flags are lying alongside, no

:28:53.:29:00.

movement... There it is. No movement whatsoever.

:29:01.:29:10.

The third attempt for the French man, the Olympic silver-medallist

:29:11.:29:17.

and that is nice... Yes Xtra-vision Mark LAUGHTER

:29:18.:29:21.

When things are not going brilliantly you can celebrate with

:29:22.:29:22.

small victories. Cleared by 81, under real pressure.

:29:23.:29:39.

A monstrous sigh of relief. The adoring home fans. He is well clear.

:29:40.:29:48.

Plenty of height. Between the world-record holder and the bar. He

:29:49.:29:53.

hasn't been firing on also lingers recently. -- on all cylinders. The

:29:54.:30:02.

women's 1500 metres next, the athletes out and lined up. 17

:30:03.:30:07.

starting with two pacemakers and fodder race promises to be. Nine of

:30:08.:30:19.

the real top ten are here. Including the Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon.

:30:20.:30:22.

Judy Kiyeng one of the pacemakers. Jenny Simpson, that perfectly judged

:30:23.:31:01.

race. What a race it was, passing Laura Muir. Half a dozen young

:31:02.:31:11.

Africans against the veterans from the USA, Jenny Simpson and Shannon

:31:12.:31:18.

Rowbury. Genzebe Dibaba the Olympic champion

:31:19.:31:34.

the only absentee here of real significance. Took the Olympic

:31:35.:31:46.

silver behind Kipyegon, but I wonder whether Kipyegon herself will be

:31:47.:31:51.

fired up by the news of that astonishing 8.52 in the

:31:52.:31:55.

steeplechase, smashing the world record by over six seconds. We're

:31:56.:32:02.

looking for 64 seconds exactly from the pacemaker and then... I'm

:32:03.:32:12.

surprised they haven't asked for something a bit quicker when

:32:13.:32:17.

Kipyegon is clearly in the low 3.15s after the way the 300 are unfolded.

:32:18.:32:30.

You don't very often see that, and I enjoy watching Laura Muir of Great

:32:31.:32:33.

Britain run. She's always up there or thereabouts in these kind of

:32:34.:32:38.

races. She didn't -- it didn't quite work for her, she tried to go with

:32:39.:32:42.

it at the Olympic Games, her strategy not quite right. Look at

:32:43.:32:46.

Jenny Simpson, she's been here for a week and she is in fourth place in

:32:47.:32:50.

the race, behind the pacemaker. She's one of the most experienced

:32:51.:32:55.

athletes. Remember, she won the world title in 2011, a silver medal

:32:56.:33:01.

in 2013. She has been in the major championships. This is now stringing

:33:02.:33:05.

out, a respectable pace, for sure. They went through 463.97. I would

:33:06.:33:11.

like to say that is perfect, because we're looking for 64, but that means

:33:12.:33:17.

the athletes behind her ran through in the high 64s, 65s. That is a bit

:33:18.:33:24.

on the slow side. Kipyegon, the Olympic champion. Jenny Simpson

:33:25.:33:30.

right up there on her shoulder, in fourth. Hassan, in sixth place.

:33:31.:33:39.

Sado, then Shannon Rowbury. Laura Muir, who ran so strongly last year.

:33:40.:33:46.

That is on the slow side, it really is. That is a shame. How quickly can

:33:47.:33:54.

they run here? She knows that second lap was too slow, Kiyeng, that is

:33:55.:34:02.

why she is accelerating. Laura Muir knows she can handle this. I thought

:34:03.:34:07.

she misjudged the Olympic final badly. She looks to be getting it

:34:08.:34:14.

right here, Stuart. She really surges now, with 450 metres to go.

:34:15.:34:20.

The chase is on for those behind. Hassan recognising the danger. Well,

:34:21.:34:25.

they have seen Laura Muir do this before. Now with 400 metres to go,

:34:26.:34:37.

she has got the lead and those with higher at the moment... It is Laura

:34:38.:34:43.

Muir who leads at the moment. They have just run a 61 second lap. Laura

:34:44.:34:48.

Muir going hard down the back straight and Hassan trying to get

:34:49.:34:52.

back on terms. Kipyegon looks beaten on this occasion. This is the ideal

:34:53.:34:58.

unfolding of a race for Laura Muir, the Scot. The Briton so disappointed

:34:59.:35:04.

with her seventh place finish in Rio as she saw one body after another go

:35:05.:35:09.

past in the last 300 metres. Into the straight now! The attack is

:35:10.:35:13.

coming but it's not going to get there, I think. Kipyegon, in second

:35:14.:35:18.

place now, easing past Hassan. Laura Muir now, this is what she wanted in

:35:19.:35:25.

Rio, a much more representative run from the Brits, watch the clock! My

:35:26.:35:32.

word, 3:55.24, she has smashed the British record and that is indeed

:35:33.:35:34.

the fastest time in the world this year! Laura Muir, we knew it was

:35:35.:35:39.

coming all-star it's a meeting record to boot, for the Scot. That

:35:40.:35:44.

had to be possible. She looked so fantastic in Rio but misjudged it in

:35:45.:35:50.

my humble opinion when she followed Dibaba's almost suicidal surge from

:35:51.:35:55.

halfway through to about 200 to go when Kipyegon eased past her. That

:35:56.:36:00.

astonishing statistic, that last 800 in well under 1.58, the pair of

:36:01.:36:10.

them. A meeting record, world lead and a British national record for

:36:11.:36:20.

the Scot. Hassan, 3:57.13 and Shannon Rowbury, a season's best

:36:21.:36:24.

come in fourth place. Billion times in the women's 1500 metres.

:36:25.:36:31.

Kipyegon, 36 points, Laura Muir on 28. She could catch the Olympic

:36:32.:36:36.

champion in the final if Kipyegon doesn't have a good run. Now, what

:36:37.:36:43.

can Trost achieve here? It is an important jump. It is her final

:36:44.:36:54.

jump. No. That is the end of her competition. A 1.93 clearance, three

:36:55.:37:03.

failures at 1.96. Spencer is the other athlete left in. She is

:37:04.:37:09.

attempting 1.98 right now. A real test for her. For anybody, really.

:37:10.:37:20.

Set that personal best back in 2010. Just lost the confidence as she

:37:21.:37:29.

nudged the bar, drifted through it. That is her first failure, 1.98. It

:37:30.:37:36.

is not a season 's best, but on the last height, Beitia looked very

:37:37.:37:43.

comfortable indeed. 1.98, very much in her compass. That is a fabulous

:37:44.:37:55.

jump indeed. 1.98. It equals her season's best, and there looks to me

:37:56.:37:57.

to be more to come. I understand that Laverne Spencer

:37:58.:38:14.

maybe not feeling well. Look at that clearance, that is an astonishing

:38:15.:38:17.

clearance. That is as good as it gets, really. That is two metre plus

:38:18.:38:23.

jumping. If she can maintain that, we may see two metres here. Now,

:38:24.:38:34.

Vadlejc, from the Czech Republic, a nation with such strong tradition in

:38:35.:38:45.

the javelin. That is big! My word! Around 87, 88 metres. He has really

:38:46.:38:50.

hit that one nicely, in a windless stadium, not getting any help at all

:38:51.:38:56.

from the conditions. A really heavy night, the air is thick, and

:38:57.:39:00.

anywhere around 85 metres plus is pretty special in these conditions,

:39:01.:39:06.

no doubt about it. That takes the lead, and a new personal best

:39:07.:39:14.

nonetheless. Weber, then. Third round of this javelin competition

:39:15.:39:17.

which has started to liven up. Oh! He has it that well. And that is

:39:18.:39:25.

about... Look at that. That is about 86.50, 87 -ish? Well, Weber really

:39:26.:39:33.

now beginning to hit that javelin hard. What a fast arm he has got on

:39:34.:39:37.

the rest of him, former European junior champion. He is the future

:39:38.:39:47.

committee is only 21. So, that is a throw to be celebrated. Now, what is

:39:48.:39:55.

it? 87.39! That is a great, great performance. Just short of his

:39:56.:40:06.

personal best. So, Thomas Rohler, he needs a good distance here because

:40:07.:40:11.

he is down in sixth place. His best is 91.28 this year and that is just

:40:12.:40:15.

shy of the 85 metre mark and he's not happy, is he? He's not happy at

:40:16.:40:22.

all. It's around 84, probably. Not quite getting the timing right.

:40:23.:40:26.

There is so much that can go wrong. A little shake of the head. The

:40:27.:40:34.

javelin throw is back in German hands at the moment. 84.16, third

:40:35.:40:45.

place. Vadlejch winning the javelin with that personal best. Rohler

:40:46.:40:52.

having to settle for third place in Paris. Renaud Lavillenie. A

:40:53.:41:01.

last-gasp effort from the Frenchman, the Olympic silver medallist. Going

:41:02.:41:10.

for 5.8 seven. Already two failures from Hendrix. That is nice and now

:41:11.:41:18.

the pressure is applied to the American! Isn't it nice to see him

:41:19.:41:22.

celebrating? With the pressure of the Olympic final behind you, this

:41:23.:41:29.

is a mere nothing. The friendship and camaraderie a little more

:41:30.:41:33.

evident than it might have been a week back. Hendrix, the questions

:41:34.:41:47.

will be asked of him now. -- Sam Kendricks, the questions will be

:41:48.:41:50.

asked of him now. Sam Kendricks, then. Third and final attempt at

:41:51.:41:59.

5.87. Won over Renaud Lavillenie a couple of nights ago, can he do it

:42:00.:42:04.

again? No, he can't. But a great competition again. The Frenchman

:42:05.:42:12.

this time wins over the American. 5.87, 5.8 one. I just wonder whether

:42:13.:42:20.

Renaud Lavillenie will move on. There is the line-up for the women's

:42:21.:42:23.

100-metre hurdles. Well, Sydney of Feeley had a good

:42:24.:42:39.

Olympic Games and just missed out on the podium, was fourth -- Cindy

:42:40.:42:46.

Ofili. She was just ahead of her sister. Nadeem Hildebrand. And Gomis

:42:47.:42:56.

of France on the outside. They run from lanes two to nine, so Lane one

:42:57.:43:01.

will not be used. The women's 100-metre hurdles. Can she run

:43:02.:43:10.

another fine run or will the others challenge?

:43:11.:43:30.

Away this time, Harrison has got away well. Cindy Ofili going quite

:43:31.:43:38.

strongly, here comes Harrison now and Dawn Harper-Nelson going well,

:43:39.:43:41.

but Harrison is going to win this one. That was 12.45, so she has

:43:42.:43:48.

really run an awful lot of quick times. The meeting record

:43:49.:43:58.

incidentally still stands, 12.2 to Enqvist Russia, set back in 1992.

:43:59.:44:02.

But certainly the world record holder made easy work, there. It has

:44:03.:44:09.

been rounded down just a little bit. 12.44. Dawn Harper-Nelson was

:44:10.:44:14.

second, 12.65, a season's best for her, and Cindy Ofili in third. She

:44:15.:44:20.

just makes room for these hurdles. Beautiful technique. Not quite as

:44:21.:44:23.

fine as we've seen, I've said on several occasions but this is as

:44:24.:44:28.

good as you can get and it really is close to that. Just a couple of

:44:29.:44:32.

tenths of a second off a world record, but goodness me, she's such

:44:33.:44:38.

a good sprinter too. The race is great for her. Kendra Harrison,

:44:39.:44:45.

12.44. Cindy Ofili, 12.66, third place. A good win over Jasmine Stour

:44:46.:44:47.

's. He has the stage to himself! Gives

:44:48.:45:12.

it a clip but it stays up! CHEERING

:45:13.:45:16.

The celebrations continue for the French man in front of his home

:45:17.:45:22.

crowd. He can never make up for the disappointment and boy did he

:45:23.:45:27.

showed, that silver medal in Rio. Five metres 93, only a couple of

:45:28.:45:35.

inches shy, five centimetres he was in Rio, his season's best. I bet you

:45:36.:45:42.

he goes to six metres now, I bet you he does, he will want to approach

:45:43.:45:49.

six 03 that was made in the Olympics.

:45:50.:45:57.

Attempting over two metres for the third and final time, can the

:45:58.:46:07.

Olympic champion do this? This had her third and final attempt. Not to

:46:08.:46:14.

be... Nevertheless, to come away from the Olympics in Rio and come

:46:15.:46:18.

back here and performed as she has done, 198, a centimetre higher than

:46:19.:46:24.

she achieved in the Olympics but it's the manner of the clearances, a

:46:25.:46:29.

lot more in the tank. Levern Spencer, season's best withdrew from

:46:30.:46:32.

the event, maintaining second. We promised you six metres. Making

:46:33.:46:53.

the adjustment on the brights. Very fast... No, no... And there is the

:46:54.:47:05.

pole vault result. 593... Over Kendricks. 52 points to the French

:47:06.:47:11.

man, and unassailable lead. I know we have a 3,000-metre race

:47:12.:47:21.

coming up and here is the start list.

:47:22.:47:35.

What a field it is. Ryan Gregson, looking for a personal-best, the

:47:36.:47:41.

Australian. Are they going to hit the 60 second

:47:42.:48:24.

rhythm that has been requested? Conditions possibly a little bit too

:48:25.:48:31.

warm. The fabulous world-record in the women's steeplechase one about

:48:32.:48:39.

40 minutes ago, good for the 800-metre runners and Laura Muir

:48:40.:48:43.

with that reddish record in the 1500 metres. They haven't gone off

:48:44.:48:48.

quickly. Don't look to be too many takers. -- British record.

:48:49.:49:02.

Chelimo, the Olympic silver-medallist in second place.

:49:03.:49:10.

Making his debut for 3000 out laws, assured of a personal-best. --

:49:11.:49:21.

outdoors. Third place in the women's long jump, the Estonian. Balter. A

:49:22.:49:27.

good athlete, 29-year-old, fourth in the European Championships, sixth in

:49:28.:49:35.

the Olympics in Rio. Almost as good as her Rio performance, six metres

:49:36.:49:39.

75. Couldn't produce anything better.

:49:40.:49:48.

Ugen who had a disappointing Olympics came through with a

:49:49.:49:52.

season's best in the second round of the long jump, second place, six

:49:53.:49:57.

metres 80, real problems in the Olympic Games, but then it was left

:49:58.:50:12.

to Spanovic. The 26-year-old Serb, winner in Lausanne. A week or so

:50:13.:50:21.

after a bronze medal, in Rio, seven metres, eight centimetres, took two

:50:22.:50:27.

jumps, this in the second round, no jump in the first round, six metres

:50:28.:50:34.

90, carrying a niggle. Retired after this jump, six metres 90, stayed out

:50:35.:50:41.

in front. It was a win for the Serbian. There it is, confirmation.

:50:42.:50:53.

56 points makes Spanovic way out in front and cannot be caught. This has

:50:54.:51:04.

been economic pacemaking. Going through four and a half laps almost

:51:05.:51:13.

spot on four minutes 30. Edward is second-fastest in the behind Mo

:51:14.:51:25.

Farah this year. -- Iguider. Chelimo strongly up the back straight. 459.

:51:26.:51:36.

Down to Iguider, 20 metres. They come around the crown of the bend.

:51:37.:51:44.

Gebrhiwet in third, maintaining his epic 12. An Ethiopian dustup going

:51:45.:51:53.

on. Iguider coming through, we are looking for 530 to maintain this

:51:54.:51:56.

ribbon and in fact, he has accelerated. Turning the screw. Even

:51:57.:52:06.

if the others excel rate, they will not close the gap significantly. It

:52:07.:52:12.

looks good to go underneath 730, the range he is going, doesn't looked to

:52:13.:52:16.

be tiring and the others are a long way back. A lap and a half to go,

:52:17.:52:23.

they are accusing a little bit. -- closing. Good leg speed, Iguider, as

:52:24.:52:29.

he goes around the bend, past the 200-metre mark. A lap and 250 metres

:52:30.:52:36.

to go, still looking fresh. Soon be in the home straight, 100 metres,

:52:37.:52:40.

closing a little bit but if he can maintain this place this will be

:52:41.:52:46.

very quick. Just under 500 to run for Iguider. Rop in third, probably

:52:47.:52:57.

the best distance for Iguider. A fabulous 1500 metre runner, running

:52:58.:53:04.

a long way under 330, a great 5,000-metre runner, breaking 13

:53:05.:53:10.

minutes but he does not get the chance to meet and beat the best but

:53:11.:53:14.

that 3000 he is making a good fist of this although the chase is on.

:53:15.:53:31.

Your mouth to gel care -- Rio... Closing with every stride. --

:53:32.:53:38.

Kejelcha. The Ethiopians coming. 130 to run, Kejelcha on the shoulder of

:53:39.:53:42.

Iguider for the first time, the Moroccan not able to respond, a

:53:43.:53:47.

tell-tale glance over his shoulder. He cannot go with it, Kejelcha

:53:48.:53:52.

judging this to perfection, easing away to a ten-metre loss when, look

:53:53.:54:00.

at the clock, 728, Iguider in second place, Gebrhiwet in third, brilliant

:54:01.:54:04.

run from Ryan Hill to take fourth for the USA. Kejelcha winning, a

:54:05.:54:11.

world junior record, world under 20 record as it is called these days.

:54:12.:54:17.

Fastest time in the world this year. Absolutely superb by Kejelcha. A

:54:18.:54:27.

world under 20 record for the Ethiopia. A personal-best for

:54:28.:54:29.

Iguider. Kejelcha could catch address, come

:54:30.:54:47.

the final. The men's 100 metres coming up.

:54:48.:55:07.

Collins, fifth Olympics in Rio, retired three times but the

:55:08.:55:13.

youngsters keep bringing me back, he said. Personal-best said this

:55:14.:55:15.

season. Christophe Lemaitre has pulled out,

:55:16.:55:35.

there is vehicle, the French man. Promised much in the European

:55:36.:55:41.

Championships but did not perform well. -- Vicaut. Rogers, the former

:55:42.:55:58.

indoor specialist. There is Ben Youssef Meite, from the ivory Coast.

:55:59.:56:08.

What can you say about Martina? National record, superb run from the

:56:09.:56:14.

Netherlands in Lausanne. And be run, young Briton, 27, 996 this season.

:56:15.:56:21.

-- Fearon. Away first time. Collins going well.

:56:22.:57:05.

Vicaut left behind, Ben Youssef Meite takes this, he does, looks

:57:06.:57:10.

like Symbian South Africa in second place. The time... A great run from

:57:11.:57:17.

the ivory Coast, came through strongly in the end. Collins always

:57:18.:57:24.

gets away, then use that might coming through, Rogers not able to

:57:25.:57:31.

match him. On the near side, Martina coming through, so strong in the

:57:32.:57:34.

final stages. You can never discount. The results...

:57:35.:57:41.

The winner equalling the national record. Joel Fearon from Great

:57:42.:57:56.

Britain in fourth place. Remember, double points in the finals. A quite

:57:57.:58:03.

outstanding night here, national and world records set.

:58:04.:58:10.

Studio-macro that is built from Paris, but penultimate Diamond

:58:11.:58:16.

League meeting comes from Zurich, highlights on Saturday the 3rd of

:58:17.:58:21.

September. Then it's Brussels and the final Diamond League from

:58:22.:58:26.

Brussels and 2016, highlights on BBC One. From all of us, goodbye.

:58:27.:58:46.

A proper divorce is built on a solid foundation of hate.
