Welcome to highlights of the Shanghai Diamond league. The series

:00:48.:00:54.

got off to a flying start in Doha. The crowd are on their feet. Big

:00:55.:01:21.

victory. What a response. Looking good. Striding through. Shanghai is

:01:22.:01:32.

the largest city that host a Diamond league meeting, with an estimated

:01:33.:01:37.

population of 24 million. Well-known for it towering skyscrapers, it is

:01:38.:01:38.

the commercial hub of China. They are you've got the start of the

:01:39.:01:45.

first race. The surprise champion in Beijing

:01:46.:02:04.

last year. The first man to break 48 seconds and he did it in the World

:02:05.:02:06.

Championship final. There is not much in it as they

:02:07.:02:17.

approach the first turn. There is not much in it as they

:02:18.:02:32.

going well, so is Clements, but certainly Bett going strongly. Top

:02:33.:02:42.

class competitor when it comes to the Championship. They are coming

:02:43.:02:50.

into the street. Look at the inside. Very good 300 metres. Coming through

:02:51.:02:58.

very strongly. He may well take this. 48.9. Very good competitive

:02:59.:03:20.

race. Really gave those with a high credential a real race. You would

:03:21.:03:23.

not have put him in with a chance of winning. Copello has not been too

:03:24.:03:38.

strong over the hurdles. This appointment for the world champion,

:03:39.:03:41.

but the Olympic silver-medallist, really strong. He came off better

:03:42.:03:48.

than anybody. Really finished strongly. It is Tinsley who get the

:03:49.:03:59.

honours. There it is, season best. Good run by Dobek.

:04:00.:04:04.

Coming up, Justin Gatlin and in the men's hundred metres. The pole

:04:05.:04:10.

vault. Bondarenko takes on local heroes in

:04:11.:04:45.

the high jump. The women's long jump, on the far side of the

:04:46.:04:46.

stadium. It was a very good opener and that

:04:47.:04:57.

is certainly going to put the pressure on the rest of the field,

:04:58.:05:05.

that's for sure. Only the first four go through to the last three rounds

:05:06.:05:11.

of the field events. 6.9 five. What a way to start the competition. That

:05:12.:05:24.

looked easy. This is a man who cleared 2.42 into vogue and 14. Two

:05:25.:05:29.

centimetres off the world record. Start the competition well. He looks

:05:30.:05:32.

good so far. That is more like it. A bit of

:05:33.:05:49.

aggression in the last performance. Looking a bit happier this time. The

:05:50.:05:54.

crowd are warming to this, and so is he. Conditions were not as benign as

:05:55.:06:06.

they are tonight. On the far side of the track, the women lining up for

:06:07.:06:11.

the 1500 metres. Very good field we have got.

:06:12.:06:24.

The way is left open for Faith Kipyegon. The pacemaker is

:06:25.:06:41.

Tverdostup. Kipyegon says she is in great shape and ready to go. There

:06:42.:06:43.

is Jenny Simpson. We'll Jenny Simpson be able to

:06:44.:07:10.

follow with her? She's done well at the world champions, in the Olympic

:07:11.:07:18.

Games, she wants to make sure the Americans are they when the medals

:07:19.:07:23.

are being handed out. We'll get a good indication as to what sort of

:07:24.:07:37.

form they are in. She's got through the first 300 pretty quickly. The

:07:38.:07:45.

field is strong note. It is a respectable race. We will forget

:07:46.:07:50.

about the pacemaking. Jenny Simpson is such an athlete, world champion.

:07:51.:08:02.

She is a class act when it comes to the major championships. Kipyegon is

:08:03.:08:10.

in current form. Has always come off the base of a cross-country

:08:11.:08:15.

background and that has seen her in very good form. She loves Shanghai

:08:16.:08:22.

and she broke the record here. She enjoys it. We will see no as the 800

:08:23.:08:30.

metres mark, the first of those marks we will see, what sort of time

:08:31.:08:42.

they are doing. Kipyegon just sitting back off the pace. Jenny

:08:43.:08:49.

Simpson sitting a little further back and watching what is going on.

:08:50.:08:59.

He was right up there. The pace is expected to drop but Kipyegon, I

:09:00.:09:09.

would imagine will not be out there for much longer. The second lap was

:09:10.:09:14.

around 66 seconds, that often happens, they go off quick and then

:09:15.:09:16.

settle down. There is a gap of three metres,

:09:17.:09:42.

certainly, Kipyegon has got the job of leading the field around. With

:09:43.:09:54.

one lap to go, it seems to me Kipyegon is leading with a

:09:55.:09:55.

vengeance. They are kicking down the back

:09:56.:10:09.

straight. The 19-year-old is ready to pounce.

:10:10.:10:30.

The Kenyon has got five metres. This is really impressive. Kipyegon. 100

:10:31.:10:37.

metres to go and she is easily moving away from this field. This is

:10:38.:10:43.

excellent sprinting but there is a huge amount of distance. What a last

:10:44.:10:55.

lap. A meeting record. It was not that quick through 800 metres, 1200

:10:56.:11:07.

metres, but that last 200 can kick pretty well. I think HAssan has got

:11:08.:11:21.

some injury problems. They've got someone to content with here. --

:11:22.:11:24.

Hassan. That was excellent from Kipyegon. It was an excellent

:11:25.:11:37.

finish. It is early days. That is a pretty good run. She is way down in

:11:38.:11:45.

the field. That was class. Absolute class. It is a new record for Kenny.

:11:46.:11:53.

Nettey of Canada. This is her third Some personal bests.

:11:54.:12:41.

That is second place. It was pretty good on the board. Nice technique,

:12:42.:12:47.

nothing complicated about that. It is a good extension. Good jumps.

:12:48.:13:06.

Season's best. Really got to go for this one. Yes. Big sigh of relief.

:13:07.:13:18.

He allows himself a smile. Justin Gatlin goes in the 100

:13:19.:13:41.

metres. He says he is aiming for Gould in Brazil. The men are out.

:13:42.:13:53.

This should be a cracker. Justin Gatlin has got an ankle

:13:54.:14:08.

problem. We will soon find out whether it will go. Rogers,

:14:09.:14:19.

silver-medallist. World indoor silver-medallist. He is said to have

:14:20.:14:28.

an ankle injury. Gatlin certainly got away well. He

:14:29.:14:55.

is leading this field. That is the time you would expect.

:14:56.:15:11.

It is said that he is not as sharp as he has been, but an injury front

:15:12.:15:17.

that was a dominant of racing. He is difficult to beat, only one man can

:15:18.:15:23.

do it, and he is not here at the moment. I think you'll be pleased to

:15:24.:15:27.

get the win. He said he is not sure what's sort of, that he's missed

:15:28.:15:30.

training because of his ankle problems. I'm not sure when he will

:15:31.:15:38.

stop running really fast. 9.94 certainly couldn't have. Not the

:15:39.:15:42.

sort of form that he is in theoretically. As ever, Catlin opens

:15:43.:15:46.

up the gap, disclosed on him a little in the last 30 or 40, maybe

:15:47.:15:49.

that is where he is missing a little. There she is, Justin Gatlin

:15:50.:15:53.

at 9.9 four. Season best. This is how the Diamond League

:15:54.:16:09.

points system works. There are 14 meetings in, with 16 different track

:16:10.:16:13.

and field events for men and women across the season. Every event, be

:16:14.:16:17.

it Sprint, hurdles or shop but has its own competition with seven

:16:18.:16:20.

rounds. The winner of each round gets ten points, or the way down to

:16:21.:16:27.

1.4 six. Double points are up for grabs in the finale is in Zurich and

:16:28.:16:32.

Brussels. In September each overall Diamond League race winner will take

:16:33.:16:36.

home $40,000 and a sparkling diamond trophy.

:16:37.:16:46.

This is China Bartoletta and in fifth round, 675 with that jump.

:16:47.:16:57.

Champion in the long fifth round, 675 with that jump.

:16:58.:17:01.

in 2015, and also back in 2005 as well. Lovely left, once again, the

:17:02.:17:09.

simplicity of that hang in the centre. Getting a position to extend

:17:10.:17:14.

simplicity of that hang in the and perform six .7 five. That is the

:17:15.:17:27.

Canadian, Nettey Christabel. Very quick on the runway. That is just

:17:28.:17:37.

short of the lead just don't. -- just now. This is the fifth round.

:17:38.:17:45.

She hits the board well, very quick. Pan-American games winner last year,

:17:46.:17:48.

and World Championship finalist. She has been around for a little while.

:17:49.:17:53.

Not particularly big, but very quick on the runway. That is second place

:17:54.:18:04.

for her. The world indoor bronze-medallist, Lorraine Ugen, had

:18:05.:18:09.

a difficult night to night. Harry could only finish in fifth place,

:18:10.:18:14.

and's best performance came in the third round, 655, not good enough to

:18:15.:18:17.

get another three jumps in the competition. There you have got the

:18:18.:18:23.

final result. Ivana Spanovic twit that 6.95, meeting record. Then the

:18:24.:18:30.

world champion, Bartoletta, settling for third place. 400 metres lined up

:18:31.:18:37.

like this, no athlete in lane one. Athletes to watch out for our

:18:38.:18:40.

Shaunae Miller and Shericka Jackson, that is the future of the event

:18:41.:18:47.

here. Lovely Williams-Mills of Jamaica leads as well. These young

:18:48.:18:51.

lady, Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas is impressing everyone, World

:18:52.:18:54.

Championship silver-medallist behind Allyson Felix last year with a

:18:55.:18:58.

bronze at the indoor couple of years ago. Really is with Jackson, showing

:18:59.:19:05.

the potential that is around just now. She is just 21 years old as

:19:06.:19:10.

well, Shericka Jackson. Shaunae Miller already on great form this

:19:11.:19:15.

year. Williams-Mills could run for her in Kingston recently but Miller

:19:16.:19:17.

already under 50 seconds. Miller starting very quickly, taking

:19:18.:19:30.

couple of metres off Jackson outside her. Starting fast in lane eight.

:19:31.:19:36.

They are setting the pace. Jackson is starting to get moving. Her

:19:37.:19:39.

season form has not been quite as good. Shaunae Miller setting the

:19:40.:19:49.

pace through the first 200. They might stop, under some pressure.

:19:50.:19:56.

Hastings starting to run her down. Shaunae Miller still looks a little

:19:57.:19:59.

tight at this point. As she overcooked it through the first 200

:20:00.:20:04.

metres? Trying to hang on, MacPherson, three. Miller trying to

:20:05.:20:08.

strengthen this out. Hastings is finishing as well, Miller now

:20:09.:20:12.

pulling away, opens up a gap over the last 21st of Miller takes its

:20:13.:20:19.

just outside 50 seconds. Heating is for the law places, Shericka

:20:20.:20:21.

Jackson, really disappointing performance from her. But Miller,

:20:22.:20:25.

that was hard tonight. Maybe went performance from her. But Miller,

:20:26.:20:28.

out to hard through the first 200, performance from her. But Miller,

:20:29.:20:32.

really did attack it. It's a bit breezy back straight, straight,

:20:33.:20:36.

dodged it wrong and a chair to fight hard, looked like he was -- she

:20:37.:20:38.

would come under some hard, looked like he was -- she

:20:39.:20:42.

she hung on. Yes, the first 200 was very strong, she looks like she was

:20:43.:20:44.

going to suffer very strong, she looks like she was

:20:45.:20:48.

300. She had a little bit left in the final stages, which was

:20:49.:20:52.

surprisingly no way. Tall, elegant and powerful in the final stages

:20:53.:20:57.

ahead of Steph MacPherson and Natasha Hastings, also punishing

:20:58.:20:57.

pretty quickly as well. Good injuries from Miller. Holding

:20:58.:21:08.

perform very well. She has run much quicker already this year but

:21:09.:21:13.

MacPherson with her season's best. Disappointing performance from some

:21:14.:21:17.

of the others. The mental 's Pol Pot sees a casting the world and Olympic

:21:18.:21:20.

champions foot up Shawn Barber won gold in Beijing last year as a world

:21:21.:21:25.

title yet again eluded Renaud Lavillenie. You'll be looking to

:21:26.:21:31.

retain his Olympic title in Rio summarises younger rival will to

:21:32.:21:33.

build on the fantastic season of 2015. This is Shawn Barber, the

:21:34.:21:45.

world champion having passed 552 at at his world attempt, is to get over

:21:46.:21:55.

this to survive in the competition. No love Elaine either. Barbara,

:21:56.:22:03.

first attempt, he has to get over because it is his third attempt. --

:22:04.:22:09.

no Lavillenie. This time Barbara dicing with real problems. Sigh of

:22:10.:22:14.

relief, he is well clear. dicing with real problems. Sigh of

:22:15.:22:20.

Barber survives. We'll see more of the world champion.

:22:21.:22:32.

Pole vault is Lavillenie. He said he was in a bit of bother, a sigh of

:22:33.:22:43.

relief from the Frenchman. Great winter season and he will want to

:22:44.:22:47.

really set is outdoor season off well. He has had a couple of

:22:48.:22:51.

competitions, but once you're into the Diamond League, everyone starts

:22:52.:22:55.

thinking about six metres. He looks a long way from that night so far.

:22:56.:22:59.

thinking about six metres. He looks He looks a little bit disgruntled,

:23:00.:23:03.

but he is over. Clear on the second attempt. This is why new, -- Wang.

:23:04.:23:19.

We are up to the bigger heights. Sadly for him, that is the end. Bar

:23:20.:23:28.

at 231. Really starting to find people out now.

:23:29.:23:36.

Zhang has a third and final attempt at 231. He really can do this. He

:23:37.:23:44.

has had 233 this season, his best is 238, can he do it in front of his

:23:45.:23:54.

home crowd. So close! So he has gone as well. It looks to me as though

:23:55.:24:01.

Bondarenko is in the driving seat in this competition. Yes, he is the

:24:02.:24:05.

only one left now. It is up to him how high he goes. His first-time

:24:06.:24:11.

clearances at 222, two to eight, he doesn't have to go higher. Starting

:24:12.:24:17.

for the men's 800 metres, as they go through. Zelinsky ran well at the

:24:18.:24:29.

world indoors. One of the biggest names in world athletics, great

:24:30.:24:32.

seeing here in Shanghai for the first time, first Diamond League

:24:33.:24:41.

appearance of 20 16th two -- 2016, world record holder as well. And

:24:42.:24:44.

Michael Rimmer from Great Britton on the inside, his first big tournament

:24:45.:24:58.

of the season. Radicchio ran well previously, he says he's looking for

:24:59.:24:59.

143 tonight for meeting record. previously, he says he's looking for

:25:00.:25:05.

has been left at the start line, but more importantly the pacemaker, Bram

:25:06.:25:09.

Som might as well stop running because Bram Som and Rhodesia did

:25:10.:25:14.

not know the gun had gone. Look at him, there is no way he will catch

:25:15.:25:23.

up. 30 metres behind, he was asked to 350 seconds for the radicchio

:25:24.:25:26.

glides up on the outside, wondering where somebody's, the only one who

:25:27.:25:30.

realises that some didn't start probably first look at some racing

:25:31.:25:33.

around the outside get to the front, he will run about 46 seconds, that

:25:34.:25:39.

is impressive in itself. What a farce. It was. There were a couple

:25:40.:25:45.

of them did not hear, some is backing the lead at last. This is a

:25:46.:25:49.

challenge for him, he really has had to motor with radicchio look so easy

:25:50.:25:58.

in comparison. 52 68 for the first foreign metres. Incredible. So when

:25:59.:26:03.

ski -- Sowinski tugs in second place behind the great man. This is a

:26:04.:26:06.

different type of race and one that he is more than used to being able

:26:07.:26:11.

to control. Radicchio moving up on the outside. Zelinsky sitting where

:26:12.:26:14.

he has been. Protest blocked on the inside. When spread looking for room

:26:15.:26:22.

on the outside. Cook made as well as the world indoor Championships

:26:23.:26:25.

trying to put them under pressure. Has the big man got the ability to

:26:26.:26:28.

kick away this early in the season in this type of race? He has got the

:26:29.:26:36.

lead. He has got what I had on the inside. People are trying to get

:26:37.:26:39.

through. The big man will be beaten. Wrote it has screamed through, David

:26:40.:26:45.

Rudisha is beaten and a big shot here. David Rudisha, Rogers found a

:26:46.:26:53.

gap as radicchio floundered. He was watching the people on the outside.

:26:54.:26:59.

Stewart, you have to be able to win these races. It was supposed to be

:27:00.:27:05.

set up by the pacemaker, I can see him complaining to race organisers

:27:06.:27:09.

already but that is not their fault, you start to run the race, he is not

:27:10.:27:12.

happy. But that is like a championship race, a championship

:27:13.:27:17.

type of time if you're in the heats or semifinals. Not winning to what

:27:18.:27:23.

he was thinking about coming into the race, but wrote it, he is always

:27:24.:27:27.

quick on the home straight, but I bet even he wasn't expecting to slip

:27:28.:27:31.

through and Rhodesia beat so for any home straight. How did he move out

:27:32.:27:36.

and allow the gap to occur on the inside? He must have realised he was

:27:37.:27:39.

coming and then you cannot move across full stop you write about

:27:40.:27:44.

Cook Amy, he was running strongly. Wrote it and be what, the ones that

:27:45.:27:52.

run past him -- they're what by what an -- Rotich and by what -- Robert

:27:53.:28:05.

Biwott. That of a messy race from any of them, including the

:28:06.:28:13.

Americans, well down. The man who has already won the iPod -- item

:28:14.:28:19.

competition, he decided to pass the 231, did not attempt that. This

:28:20.:28:23.

would be best in the world so far this year, third attempt at 234. He

:28:24.:28:30.

has entertained the crowd, they would probably have loved to have

:28:31.:28:33.

seen their champion and give him more to think about tonight, but he

:28:34.:28:38.

has only had five jobs, two first-time clearances and then comes

:28:39.:28:43.

in at 234 and does not go clear. How things have changed. She Ms form,

:28:44.:28:46.

Bondarenko has been injured and is coming back into the scene, no one

:28:47.:28:50.

is really getting up to the great heights and yet, but it is early.

:28:51.:28:53.

She is really in trouble. There is the result. All decided on count

:28:54.:29:10.

back. His second jumpers or the gone. What can he do?

:29:11.:29:21.

That is the lead by the look of it, has extended beyond the eight-metre

:29:22.:29:31.

line. Let's look at the board, perfect, spot on the board. Good

:29:32.:29:37.

position and good live, a nice 2.5 hitch kick.

:29:38.:29:49.

The he has said himself, his technique must be improved. He has

:29:50.:30:04.

got ability. The 3000 metres steeplechase, there it is. The

:30:05.:30:26.

principles in this race. Olympic Games silver-medallist in London

:30:27.:30:39.

there. The world champion is Kiyeng. Let's see what sort of race we can

:30:40.:30:43.

get here. They were saying that they wanted to get somewhere near nine

:30:44.:30:56.

minutes and 15 seconds. The pacemakers are right in front and it

:30:57.:30:59.

looks as though they mean business. That is a good

:31:00.:31:06.

looks as though they mean business. field is already beginning to spread

:31:07.:31:14.

out in this early stages. It is a wide-open event in the World

:31:15.:31:18.

out in this early stages. It is a Championships. There have been

:31:19.:31:25.

several champions over the years. Kiyeng won the world champions. It

:31:26.:31:34.

has been a very up and down period for the steeplechasers. It has.

:31:35.:31:47.

Certainly, tucked in there, not that interested in the early pace but she

:31:48.:31:54.

is a very good athlete. She probably went in as the favourite. The winner

:31:55.:32:01.

in Shanghai is at the fourth. An open looking event but for me, she

:32:02.:32:09.

has got the right action. Did not win very much -- I very much in the

:32:10.:32:20.

World Championships. We've got a fall and it is believed runner! She

:32:21.:32:34.

is gone. Before that barrier. It leaves Zhang in the lead. That was a

:32:35.:32:41.

pretty heavy fall. Back to the vault. Yes. I think he's happy with

:32:42.:32:55.

that. Just looking at the attempts there. He's had successes. That is

:32:56.:33:10.

an emphatic clearance. It really is. He is putting pressure on everyone.

:33:11.:33:20.

Very strong on the runway. He is creating the energy to deliver him

:33:21.:33:29.

back to the top. Barbour really had problems, 5.6 two. Let's see what he

:33:30.:33:40.

does at this one. Not as good as the previous but he has got it. He's

:33:41.:33:47.

very cold. When you look at him as an athlete, years superbly equipped

:33:48.:33:59.

for this event. He has got a problem.

:34:00.:34:11.

He has looked really out of sorts this evening. That is more like it.

:34:12.:34:19.

With the indoor forms you been showing, would start the season with

:34:20.:34:24.

a bit of a bang. Still doesn't work as smooth as we often

:34:25.:34:27.

a bit of a bang. Still doesn't work Frenchman but a little fist bump to

:34:28.:34:37.

the stands. That is better. Two last ago. If she keeps this going she is

:34:38.:34:47.

set for a very good time. If you are in the range of 9.10, she could

:34:48.:34:55.

still hit that, despite the fact she went so hard, still running strongly

:34:56.:34:58.

and at the minute there is no sign of slowing down. Not making any

:34:59.:35:11.

progress in closing that gap. The Kenyon is starting to pick it up a

:35:12.:35:20.

little bit. As you say, has got a little bit of pressure coming. It is

:35:21.:35:39.

not over yet. If Kiyeng can find a little bit of balance, you never

:35:40.:35:45.

know. It has been a very good run by the leader. That is brochure. Every

:35:46.:35:53.

barrier it is like she is landing in mud, just about stopping. The world

:35:54.:35:58.

champion is closing with every single straight here. She's got to

:35:59.:36:03.

be tired at this sort of pace. Both of them running pretty quick. Just

:36:04.:36:11.

about three quarters of a lap to go. The world champion has really got

:36:12.:36:15.

closer and closer and subtle increase pace as they approach 200

:36:16.:36:21.

metres to go. I think Kiyeng will come off this better. She takes over

:36:22.:36:27.

with 200 metres to go. Kiyeng leagues. In second place is the

:36:28.:36:33.

young woman who has led for most of this. The rest are miles behind.

:36:34.:36:40.

This is a fine run and look at the clock. She has fallen over. She is

:36:41.:36:59.

still going to hold second place. Very quick indeed. Going to hold on

:37:00.:37:19.

for third. She was taken online. If that is confirmed that will be the

:37:20.:37:23.

sixth fastest of all time. Just waiting for the official

:37:24.:37:29.

confirmation. You've got to feel sorry. She seemed to catch the

:37:30.:37:35.

curve. Partly because she was so tired. When it comes back to bite

:37:36.:37:41.

you, it really does. She was so tired coming into the home straight.

:37:42.:37:46.

When she saw the champion pulling away, she lost a few seconds.

:37:47.:37:51.

Finished ten seconds behind in the end. But you've got to hand it to

:37:52.:37:56.

this young lady. When you watch her going over the barriers, that is

:37:57.:38:03.

what most of them cannot do. She has that ability to take the barrier in

:38:04.:38:07.

her stride and even if it was not a close race it enables her to win.

:38:08.:38:11.

But people were falling and tripping and that was very early on. I wonder

:38:12.:38:18.

whether we will see that in the last lap. She went down, she was so

:38:19.:38:27.

tired. Look at this, that is not bad.

:38:28.:38:39.

You lose concentration, step on the curve. Hopefully she has not twisted

:38:40.:38:51.

her ankle. She did finish OK. How strong was Kiyeng?

:38:52.:38:55.

her ankle. She did finish OK. How That will take some beating.

:38:56.:39:14.

At the lead taken from them pretty quickly and with four left, still

:39:15.:39:20.

leading from round one. That is very close. Leading the world rankings.

:39:21.:39:40.

Very good. The Chinese athletes, because he has been in this round,

:39:41.:40:05.

so few jumpers, E point 14. This is the final vault. World champion has

:40:06.:40:10.

gone. He had to go higher if he was the final vault. World champion has

:40:11.:40:19.

to have any chance of winning the event. That has not happened.

:40:20.:40:26.

Nowhere near that. He's going to be back down in third place.

:40:27.:40:53.

That was better on the plant. That is it. Those raked into the lead

:40:54.:41:07.

with that. Second time clearance. Seeing the world champion go out and

:41:08.:41:13.

that clearance is most emphatic. Very fast on the runway.

:41:14.:41:21.

that clearance is most emphatic. to be positive. He has taken the

:41:22.:41:40.

lead. You can see when they go through, they think, I will sit

:41:41.:41:43.

lead. You can see when they go one out. He finds himself in fourth

:41:44.:41:51.

place. That was good. Might have done himself some good. Saving his

:41:52.:42:06.

best for the very end. Good fight off the board. That may have stood

:42:07.:42:20.

him in good stead. That will move him into third spot.

:42:21.:42:40.

Kendricks in the pole vault again. He's got it. Third and final

:42:41.:42:46.

attempt. Watch out for her, Ahoure, and

:42:47.:43:42.

Veronica Campbell-Brown, watch out for her. The most experienced in the

:43:43.:43:56.

field. No problem with the start. It is pretty easy as they go into the

:43:57.:43:57.

bend. Now putting some pressure on. Ahoure had a very good bet. She

:43:58.:44:26.

really did. That was good to see, 22.72, not emphatic. Pretty tough

:44:27.:44:40.

run but a very fine band indeed. Another disappointing performance

:44:41.:44:45.

from Witney, Americans think she could be the future of their sprints

:44:46.:44:49.

but she was a long way off. She gets a good start and you think

:44:50.:44:54.

Campbell-Brown is going to go past but Ahoure finds a little bit extra.

:44:55.:44:57.

Really good performance from her. Ivory Coast over two Jamaicans. The

:44:58.:45:16.

javelin is now in progress as you can see.

:45:17.:45:31.

800 grams javelin wing its way out to just short of 85 metres. We will

:45:32.:45:38.

get confirmation of that in a moment. He leans back and applies

:45:39.:45:47.

force of the biggest possible range. National champion a couple of

:45:48.:45:53.

seasons ago. The best of 8676, also in Japan on the 8th of May. Has come

:45:54.:45:57.

into year with a pretty good performance. Throwing into the wind,

:45:58.:46:03.

8477 in the second round. In second place. The poll vault, Sam Kendricks

:46:04.:46:13.

at five .8 eight. What can he do? Third attempt. He goes clear!

:46:14.:46:25.

Lavillenie looked like he was in the box seat, Kendricks took three

:46:26.:46:30.

attempts to clear it and in his third attempt the American takes the

:46:31.:46:37.

advantage in the pole vault. Look at that, well clear. Real daylight for

:46:38.:46:42.

the American. Would love outdoors to get closer to six metres, certainly

:46:43.:46:47.

in the five 90s to begin with to go with what he has done indoors.

:46:48.:46:51.

Kendricks, look at what that means to him. Superb from the American.

:46:52.:47:00.

What a cop petition Abdelrahman had last year. -- competition. 95 metres

:47:01.:47:07.

in this javelin competition. That is about 83, I would think. Not finding

:47:08.:47:12.

before we've seen. He has been away from long time, World Championship

:47:13.:47:20.

silver-medallist last year. He got 88.99 on that occasion. This is the

:47:21.:47:27.

start of his new season. 81.51 is this season was not best, so that

:47:28.:47:32.

will extend beyond it. He's obviously frustrated, not getting

:47:33.:47:39.

any real power into that throw. It is about rhythm and timing and

:47:40.:47:45.

exerting mother got that. It 3.16, he is in fourth place. Qualify here

:47:46.:47:49.

the track the main line up for the hours -- 5000 metres. 12.5 laps, we

:47:50.:47:54.

will look for and if your pin challenge not themselves with one or

:47:55.:47:58.

two Kenyans getting in the mix. Kejelcha and Gebrhiwet to our young

:47:59.:48:06.

Ethiopians with such reachability. Kejelcha is the world indoor

:48:07.:48:09.

champion, the one that most people are excited about. Still 18

:48:10.:48:24.

The meeting record of 30 minutes and four seconds, well under the ability

:48:25.:48:30.

of many men in this field, just whether not they want to do that

:48:31.:48:34.

night. What more fire does in championship races, they got to find

:48:35.:48:40.

people in the pew -- Ethiopians and Kenyans, it tends to rely on these

:48:41.:48:47.

trusted guys, Kejelcha gave Mo Farah good run. Kejelcha could then

:48:48.:48:51.

produce the right sort of finish at the World Championships, although

:48:52.:48:55.

what he did indoors was a great race over 3000 metres that sure he does

:48:56.:49:00.

have pace. I think we can see the answer already today about the

:49:01.:49:05.

question on the pacemaking. Let's ignore the one exception. On debt to

:49:06.:49:10.

see how Kejelcha performs tonight. What tactics he employs and how he

:49:11.:49:15.

decides to win this. Learning to win and kicked and how to kick, he was

:49:16.:49:19.

rather the first couple of times, he likes to get in front at the right

:49:20.:49:25.

time and build it up. It's if he can do this it is 593.

:49:26.:49:37.

Disappointment in the past four Lavillenie, a couple times world

:49:38.:49:42.

champion, bronze last year and was disappointed with that after being

:49:43.:49:46.

world champion previously. Nowhere near Coral got all wrong on the

:49:47.:49:53.

plant. Sam Kendricks, what a scout to take, to come in with a personal

:49:54.:49:57.

best and beat the number one on performance in the world, man who

:49:58.:50:01.

has been way over six metres in competition that tells the story. 59

:50:02.:50:08.

three. First attempt, third overall. Kendricks takes it on. Confirmation,

:50:09.:50:16.

5.88, an outdoor personal best. He has been higher indoors. The world

:50:17.:50:21.

champion, Shawn Barber, hanging on to third place. Rohler in the

:50:22.:50:30.

javelin. Round one was where he grappled it has not let go since.

:50:31.:50:36.

He has been dominant all the way through, another good, solid

:50:37.:50:40.

performance from him. Will not improve his position, but nobody

:50:41.:50:48.

really coming that close. The Czech Republic man has been in good form

:50:49.:50:54.

this year. It 4.77 in round two, but that was it. Again moving into the

:50:55.:50:58.

last three rounds, the top for me, not really producing much or

:50:59.:51:02.

changing the situation in the event at all. The selling in third,

:51:03.:51:07.

Abdelrahman in fourth, the season plus that best as well. Not the

:51:08.:51:15.

easiest of conditions, but Thomas Rohler, that first-round throw is

:51:16.:51:20.

good enough for the winter night. There are chairs, Rohler at 85.7

:51:21.:51:31.

one. Five glitch -- there it is. Two laps to go in the men's 5000.

:51:32.:51:39.

Kejelcha in a good position there. Every red really tucked on the

:51:40.:51:47.

inside -- Gebrhiwet. They're sitting in waiting, editors in the pack. Now

:51:48.:51:59.

another stretch, Empire ran 1317 last year in Belgium. Asnicar Bardy

:52:00.:52:04.

by a. Again attacking from the front, is looking good, Raab is

:52:05.:52:10.

looking good. They're fighting for on, he needs to get out of where he

:52:11.:52:15.

is with 600 goal. Look at the big man, how easy he looks. Kejelcha

:52:16.:52:22.

just sitting there, beautifully relaxed. Wonderful piece of control

:52:23.:52:26.

running just now. Gebrhiwet is grimacing a little right on the

:52:27.:52:30.

inside, Merga is right behind him. There is a grace and by you has

:52:31.:52:34.

taken it on, but the tall, elegant figure of Kejelcha is now about five

:52:35.:52:41.

or six metres off the lead. This would be a surprise, buying him from

:52:42.:52:46.

the front where he has been for the last three or four laps. Kejelcha

:52:47.:52:51.

moving with him, Edwards trying to get up there. Ugandan also when with

:52:52.:52:55.

a chance and an opportunity, but Gebrhiwet absolutely nowhere,

:52:56.:52:58.

nothing more in his legs. Now they are gathering down the back

:52:59.:53:04.

straight, Kejelcha, the world indoor champion, has he got enough?

:53:05.:53:09.

Longosiwa holding the curb and hauling the tall Ethiopian. It

:53:10.:53:14.

Ugandan who has hit the front. With the two-metre lead, Cheptegei, no

:53:15.:53:17.

edges the two-metre lead, Cheptegei, no

:53:18.:53:22.

the top bend with a real burst of speed. It is a dress who hits the

:53:23.:53:27.

front. Longer see were trying to get back to him and Kejelcha trying to

:53:28.:53:32.

chase as well that it will be Ethiopian, address, not who we

:53:33.:53:36.

expected, he has enough time to wave to the crowd, disclosed 13

:53:37.:53:40.

expected, he has enough time to wave just inside the 56 last lap, meeting

:53:41.:53:44.

record. just inside the 56 last lap, meeting

:53:45.:53:51.

nationality of the winner, however in an Olympic year when they are all

:53:52.:53:55.

got to lay down a marker, where they will all be trying to make that

:53:56.:54:01.

team, it is Muktar Edris who has jumped the top of the rankings as

:54:02.:54:04.

far as Ethiopia are concerned, the Diamond League. Kejelcha on the last

:54:05.:54:11.

lap, completely blown away. Did not look the same as I seen him in the

:54:12.:54:15.

past. There was a lacklustre in his running, and Edwards had lots of

:54:16.:54:21.

power coming past Longosiwa and Cheptegei was not finished and

:54:22.:54:24.

longer see himself under pressure. That was such a good race, such a

:54:25.:54:29.

good run by a dress. Muktar Edris, World Championship finalist, seventh

:54:30.:54:34.

in the 5000 in Moscow in 2013. This is the start of a New Year as a

:54:35.:54:39.

start that might see him putting pressure for the rest of the season.

:54:40.:54:44.

That was a very good run indeed. Big win for him, under 30 minutes is

:54:45.:54:47.

really good, the last kilometre and a personal best. For a long time in

:54:48.:54:54.

buying was forcing the pace in the latter stages for is a really

:54:55.:54:58.

disappointing for Kejelcha. The men's hurdles, barriers of three

:54:59.:55:02.

foot six. What a we have. -- what afield we have. No problem

:55:03.:55:19.

for the start. I hope they call them back, it was all over the place, the

:55:20.:55:23.

second gun was late and they will take some time to recover from that

:55:24.:55:27.

and get themselves set up again. I'm not sure what happened, there was.

:55:28.:55:34.

-- if there was a false start or a faulty one or what. Let's have a

:55:35.:55:40.

look at Ortega, you cannot tell from that. It is the red card. It came up

:55:41.:55:49.

as less than 0.1, which is the deciding factor. I get he's not

:55:50.:55:53.

happy but sometimes you have to accept that.

:55:54.:56:00.

Another one. Merits this time. You cannot see from that come along the

:56:01.:56:14.

far side, three in. That will not tell you. It is a red card. Urges

:56:15.:56:24.

merit is gone as well. Another attempt at the men's 110 metres

:56:25.:56:35.

hurdles. McLeod got away quickly. He can stay out of where the hurdles,

:56:36.:56:38.

Parchment going strong as well Bascou is running strongly as well.

:56:39.:56:48.

McLeod has it. He promised it and he said if I can get out of the way of

:56:49.:56:53.

the hurdles then sub 30 will happen. The only manager of the high hurdles

:56:54.:56:59.

event that has run below ten seconds and below 13 seconds. I have to say,

:57:00.:57:03.

when you can run that quick over 100 metres you do need to be classy at

:57:04.:57:09.

getting over these three foot six Paris, because they, so very fast.

:57:10.:57:14.

When I spoke to merit after 's world record in 2011 he said it was scary,

:57:15.:57:18.

the last three hurdles that appear, the way he attacks the hurdles,

:57:19.:57:22.

beautiful Trail Lake, so quick, Parchment looked like he would

:57:23.:57:25.

threaten, but that is a good run by Bascou on the far side. Very close

:57:26.:57:30.

for Bascou, my not have got the third place, I think there was a

:57:31.:57:32.

hold-up for the photograph, some opposition on the near side. It

:57:33.:57:38.

might be there. Look at the third place. That is a beautiful race. It

:57:39.:57:46.

could Bezy that got third. McLeod, 12.98, very good world lead.

:57:47.:57:55.

I guess it was a case of big shocks in Shanghai tonight. David Rudisha

:57:56.:58:02.

started his race poorly and never recovered. I think he will probably

:58:03.:58:05.

be business as usual next time we see him, but I'm not sure about easy

:58:06.:58:11.

and start Kejelcha, who did not pose a threat to Mo Farah in real Rio on

:58:12.:58:17.

the basis of straight but that performance. Maybe we're saved the

:58:18.:58:25.

best until the end, but McLeod, sub 13 seconds in the 110 hurdles, that

:58:26.:58:29.

was brilliant. Plenty more athletics come up in the BBC over the next

:58:30.:58:34.

week. On Friday there is the Manchester City games on BBC Two.

:58:35.:58:50.

That is all from the Shanghai Diamond League. John is next

:58:51.:58:53.

weekend. Goodbye.
