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. | |
