:00:49. > :00:53.Hello and welcome to Diamond League Highlights from Stockholm.
:00:54. > :00:56.We've passed the halfway stage now and we're still in Scandinavia
:00:57. > :00:58.as we move from Oslo to Sweden's capital.
:00:59. > :01:00.Built to host the 1912 Olympics, the stadium has witnessed
:01:01. > :01:13.Some of the world's best athletes have gathered here again to attempt
:01:14. > :01:20.to write their own names into the history books.
:01:21. > :01:38.Did he hit that?! Davis is going to last this out.
:01:39. > :01:51.Harrison takes that brilliantly. Oh, yes. That is huge for Taylor!
:01:52. > :02:00.Dina Asher-Smith looking fantastic here.
:02:01. > :02:03.Here to talk you through it are your commentators Tim Hutchings
:02:04. > :02:15.Welcome to the Olympic Stadium, to the North of the city, on a cool and
:02:16. > :02:20.damp evening, 15 Celsius in the arena but a great array of athletics
:02:21. > :02:31.from the stadium, starting with the man's 400m hurdles.
:02:32. > :02:36.That is the line-up. The best line-up we have seen all season. A
:02:37. > :02:48.shame the conditions are not that great. They have all gone off
:02:49. > :02:55.weekly. Javier Culson is fast and also Tinsley in the back straight.
:02:56. > :03:04.Javier Culson definitely reading as they go towards and past 200m and
:03:05. > :03:11.into the third 100m. And Tinsley being overtaken by LJ van Zyl on the
:03:12. > :03:20.apex of the bend. Has he got enough left? Patryk Dobek going strongly on
:03:21. > :03:26.the outside. And Tinsley has gone. Nicholas Bett a little better
:03:27. > :03:29.although he stutters. Brett Robinson, LJ van Zyl fighting hard,
:03:30. > :03:35.Patryk Dobek on the near side. And Clement gets second place and Patryk
:03:36. > :03:39.Dobek third. His season is coming together, Culson, they get the time,
:03:40. > :03:45.it is not a good night for the sprinters. Solid enough, the winner
:03:46. > :03:50.over a strong field. Tinsley just ran out of gas. He did go quicker
:03:51. > :03:55.over the first 200m. He is more of an even paced sprinter and he really
:03:56. > :04:02.motored tonight in the first half and I think he paid for it. There it
:04:03. > :04:09.is, Culson... A good run again, Patryk Dobek in third, ahead of LJ
:04:10. > :04:13.van Zyl. And Nicholas Bett still not flying.
:04:14. > :04:23.Over to the discus competition. The World Championship silver-medallist
:04:24. > :04:30.building nicely. Daniel Bailey, is like improvement on her second-round
:04:31. > :04:33.effort. She hits that smoothly. The 36-year-old so experienced and that
:04:34. > :04:39.is big. A fabulous fifth round effort. Ben Youssef Meite opened,
:04:40. > :04:46.that is what she is chasing. That was almost right on 60 five. A
:04:47. > :05:09.season's best with one round to both. Very quick on the runway, 400m
:05:10. > :05:13.is one of the great sprinters. -- Tianna Bartoletta. She is twice
:05:14. > :05:18.World Champion at the Long Jump. Last year in Beijing and back in
:05:19. > :05:30.2005. She has been around a long time. 5000m next. Five men in the
:05:31. > :05:37.field running under 30 minutes. The pace requested would result in a new
:05:38. > :05:46.world best. 235, the and the big names present. Muktar Edris, winning
:05:47. > :05:50.here in 2014. So this big field gets under way. There is no Mo Farah, the
:05:51. > :05:57.Olympic and World Champion at this distance. What we are looking for in
:05:58. > :06:00.this sort of race, with the Olympic Games and athletics eight weeks
:06:01. > :06:05.away, it is some sort of indication from somebody in this field is most
:06:06. > :06:09.of the big-name protagonists who would challenge Mo Farah are in this
:06:10. > :06:12.field, something that indicates a quality in the likes of one of these
:06:13. > :06:19.man that can threaten the documents of Mo Farah by Rio. Edris not
:06:20. > :06:24.looking good in fourth place, the Diamond Race leader. Running out of
:06:25. > :06:31.steam. The gap between him and the leading trio is growing. Uefa in
:06:32. > :06:39.fifth place, he is only 16 years old. Eight in the African junior
:06:40. > :06:47.cross-country in March. Virtually unheard of. It is the bowl now. And
:06:48. > :06:53.it is Kejelcha, the star of the European team in second place,
:06:54. > :06:56.trying to latch on to the coat-tails of the tall figure of Stable Lads'
:06:57. > :07:01.Association who has led a lot in these last three laps. Now Edris
:07:02. > :07:06.wakes up in the White top and he tries to go with the reading trio.
:07:07. > :07:12.Gradually clicking up the acceleration and going through the
:07:13. > :07:15.gears. The World Championships last year Kejelcha when he had such a
:07:16. > :07:20.marvellous season on the Diamond League circuit but a fifth in
:07:21. > :07:23.Shanghai and a third in Oslo and he might have the beating of this
:07:24. > :07:28.field. Stable Lads' Association carries on hunting and chasing
:07:29. > :07:35.Kejelcha into the slipstream but has he got the speed? Berihu in fourth.
:07:36. > :07:45.Stable Lads' Association eases it over the last 50. He loved it late
:07:46. > :07:49.and he crossed the line from Kejelcha. He did leave it late but
:07:50. > :07:55.he judged it perfectly. And that is not a bad return. His evening's
:07:56. > :08:02.work. Just checking, Jeilan. That is a new personal best. Over six
:08:03. > :08:06.seconds. Jeilan showed the same sort of form he did in winning the world
:08:07. > :08:13.title in 2011. Always in the right place in the right home. You felt
:08:14. > :08:21.Kejelcha had got enough. -- in the right time. So that new personal
:08:22. > :08:27.best, Kejelcha. Edris making it a one and two and 34 Ethiopia. He
:08:28. > :08:31.could be a danger to the likes of Mo Farah, he perhaps has that change of
:08:32. > :08:42.pace to challenge the British runner. Ivana Spanovic knows what
:08:43. > :08:47.the target is, you can tell how cold it is. That is good, that is good.
:08:48. > :08:55.That looks a little better. The tracksuit bottoms, the tights kept
:08:56. > :08:59.on to protect those muscles. It has been drizzly all morning, and she
:09:00. > :09:04.missed the board so that is a good jump. Very simple technique.
:09:05. > :09:10.Backward rotation but generally very good indeed and very athletic, Gough
:09:11. > :09:17.the board and in the approach. 6.90, that is the lead. The Serbian taking
:09:18. > :09:28.them all on. This is the World Champion from
:09:29. > :09:36.2013, chin. Round five. Very very fast, she is a big character. It is
:09:37. > :09:44.around 68 metres. The season's best from chin was in Shanghai four weeks
:09:45. > :09:58.ago. She topped the world rankings. And that is big from chin in round
:09:59. > :10:08.five. -- from chin. That was the winning throw in her fifth round.
:10:09. > :10:14.Good enough for second place. And in third, Hill from Cuba. That is the
:10:15. > :10:27.line-up for the women's 100m hurdles.
:10:28. > :10:42.And listen to the response to this lady. European champion back in
:10:43. > :10:47.2006, she begins her campaign. And next are the fastest woman in the
:10:48. > :10:57.world, Kendra Harrison, unbeaten this season. The world leading time.
:10:58. > :11:02.The women's 100m hurdles. A return from the champion from 2006, a
:11:03. > :11:24.decade ago, Susanna Kallur. Kallur going well, going
:11:25. > :11:30.brilliantly. And on the near side, Queen Harrison. Going away, wins it.
:11:31. > :11:42.In second place, Nia Ali of the United States. And that was a very,
:11:43. > :11:46.very good opener by Susanna Kallur. But this young woman takes some
:11:47. > :11:53.beating, Kendra Harrison. Nia Ali was second. And look at that for the
:11:54. > :11:58.start. Kallur out of the blocks. This is her first race. Harrison
:11:59. > :12:05.obviously away and Ali going well. Alina Talay dropped at this stage.
:12:06. > :12:09.Kendra Harrison is such a good technician and Queen Harrison sneaks
:12:10. > :12:14.through into third place. In these conditions, I cannot emphasise how
:12:15. > :12:19.quick that is. Only about five other athletes in the world have done that
:12:20. > :12:25.this year, six over athletes, who can run as quick as that. These
:12:26. > :12:37.conditions of foul impaired Eugene most years or in California. --
:12:38. > :12:44.compared to. So there it is. Rob Susanna Kallur 13 seconds, in fifth
:12:45. > :12:51.place, just behind -- just ahead of Alina Talay.
:12:52. > :12:54.British record holder Dina Asher-Smith will want to build on an
:12:55. > :12:59.impressive start to her outdoor season ahead of next week's British
:13:00. > :13:05.Championships. Today, she is the fastest in the field but faces stiff
:13:06. > :13:10.competition from Desiree Henry and Margaret Adeoye. These women subject
:13:11. > :13:20.to drizzle on the far side of the track. Dina Asher-Smith, exciting
:13:21. > :13:28.British talent. Simone Facey from Jamaica in six. But this young lady,
:13:29. > :13:33.British record holder at 100m and 200m, world junior champion in 2014.
:13:34. > :13:39.What a good job the coach has done with her. That is Marie Josee Ta Lou
:13:40. > :13:43.of the Ivory Coast who just missed the Beijing final last year, third
:13:44. > :13:51.in her semifinal. Desiree Henry, a former world youth champion in 2011,
:13:52. > :13:56.in very good form, her personal best in April in California. That is 29,
:13:57. > :14:00.sixth in the World Championships over 200m but not in good form, only
:14:01. > :14:10.sixth in Lucerne a couple of nights ago. And Adeoye, her first race, the
:14:11. > :14:20.31-year-old Briton, it in 2016. Asher-Smith in-line five.
:14:21. > :14:21.A good start from Asher-Smith, fourth from left, under 11 seconds
:14:22. > :14:34.last year to set the British record. Asher-Smith leads from their
:14:35. > :14:38.team-mate, coming through strongly on the outside is Simone Facey, but
:14:39. > :14:46.Asher-Smith is going to take this one under pressure towards the line,
:14:47. > :14:50.but wins in 22.7 four. Mminus 0.8 wind, that is what they were running
:14:51. > :14:55.into, and that is very satisfying indeed. She would have wished, I am
:14:56. > :14:59.sure, for significantly better conditions than this, and she would
:15:00. > :15:03.have run quicker and a nicer night. She did, she had very good
:15:04. > :15:09.transition of the bend, stays to the inside of the lane, runs very nicely
:15:10. > :15:13.indeed, Desiree Henry, the European medallists in the 4x100m, part of
:15:14. > :15:17.the team with Asher-Smith, she really had a good race with pace
:15:18. > :15:24.closing down to get second place at Desiree Henry. But Henry, good race,
:15:25. > :15:33.but certainly Asher-Smith, the best of 22 point 47. Gradually coming
:15:34. > :15:38.back to form, but that is not bad in these conditions. There it is, a win
:15:39. > :15:42.for Dina Asher-Smith from Simone Facey. I thought Desiree Henry
:15:43. > :15:52.started fast and ran well, personal best, 22.88 in third place. I could
:15:53. > :15:56.have executed a bit better on the straight, of my 200, it would
:15:57. > :16:01.ideally have been a bit better. But the first 100, not ideal conditions,
:16:02. > :16:07.I am quite happy. Brittney Reese in third place with 6.67 in this long
:16:08. > :16:10.jump, tall powerhouse that is Brittney Reese, three times the
:16:11. > :16:15.world champion, and that is a pretty good jump indeed. Certainly is a
:16:16. > :16:26.terrific competitor. Has she done enough? Chasing 6.90, which we saw
:16:27. > :16:31.earlier. It's the board perfectly, absolutely spot-on. No finesse about
:16:32. > :16:38.this, lovely hang in the middle, I have to say, she gets it all
:16:39. > :16:46.together, gets terrific left off the board. A real dynamo of an athlete,
:16:47. > :16:51.6.88, not quite enough, two centimetres short of Spanovic. She
:16:52. > :16:56.is just ahead of the twice world champion, Brittney Reese, at 6.88.
:16:57. > :17:13.Tianna Bartoletta in third. Well, Ruth Beitia, can you be the second
:17:14. > :17:20.person clear? 2.0 at best. Oh, yes! Once she is out of the bed, there
:17:21. > :17:25.she goes, that is OK. She is tall, very, very tall, twice world
:17:26. > :17:30.champion silver-medallist, this year of course, import them. And back in
:17:31. > :17:38.2010 as well, won the European title as well. -- in Portland. She is the
:17:39. > :17:51.second person clear budget goes into the lead. One more attempt at this
:17:52. > :17:59.height, really finding it difficult, Licwinko. Oh, yes, she has got it!
:18:00. > :18:04.She remains in the competition. That is Ruth Beitia, the smile on her
:18:05. > :18:09.face, because Licwinko is one of the main opponents. This time she got it
:18:10. > :18:13.right, very pleased with that. Stays in the competition, just clicked it
:18:14. > :18:17.as she went down. It was a good clearance, though, having said that.
:18:18. > :18:19.So she is in third. Well, they're getting stripped off for the start
:18:20. > :18:39.of the 100m. No problem with the start, pretty
:18:40. > :18:46.even, actually, it looks like Bailey is going well, but here comes Harvey
:18:47. > :18:51.on the inside, he gets it, I think Meite was third, I think Richard
:18:52. > :18:56.Kilty was third. 10.19, a very good run indeed, it went pretty well with
:18:57. > :19:01.the form book. A good opener, let's have a look at the start, Meite got
:19:02. > :19:05.away pretty well, Kilty going well from the second lane, Meite in the
:19:06. > :19:10.light blue top looks good at this stage. Harvey coming through, he
:19:11. > :19:14.gets there. Meite in second place, was it Kilty in third, or did they
:19:15. > :19:20.catching? Let's have a look at this, Kilty just over striding on the far
:19:21. > :19:24.side a little bit. Yes, he has got beaten, hasn't he? Looked a little
:19:25. > :19:32.better on the first run through, but he was fifth in the end, 10.31 for
:19:33. > :19:40.third. Same time for third, fourth and fifth, it does not get much
:19:41. > :19:44.closer than that. Now, here is Shawn Barber. Trying to find his rhythm
:19:45. > :19:51.this season, it has not been a brilliant season for Barber,
:19:52. > :20:03.season's best of 5.91, but that is better! The first man clear at 5.65,
:20:04. > :20:07.remember, he is a 5.93 man, Barber, and the pressure is all on Renaud
:20:08. > :20:14.Lavillenie, a third attempt for the Frenchman at this height. Christian
:20:15. > :20:18.Taylor in the first round of the triple jump, second longest triple
:20:19. > :20:26.jumper in history. That is not a bad opener. I do not think it is 17
:20:27. > :20:31.metres, but it is OK. Taylor, in this triple jump, he is last in the
:20:32. > :20:44.jumping order. And that looks to have taken the lead to me. Next best
:20:45. > :20:47.is 16.32 by Troy Doris of Guyana. So here is Lavillenie in that pole
:20:48. > :20:59.vault. Under real pressure, his opening height, the world
:21:00. > :21:04.record-holder. Both he and... Not going smoothly, his season, but
:21:05. > :21:09.going better tonight now! Under a bit of pressure there, both they and
:21:10. > :21:17.Shawn Barber, at the third time of asking, at 5.6 25. Lavillenie leads
:21:18. > :21:28.by dint of that being his opening height. Barber had a second time
:21:29. > :21:32.clearance as the previous night. -- at the previous height.
:21:33. > :21:36.Last month in Eugene, Ruth Jebet became only the second woman ever to
:21:37. > :21:41.run under nine minutes in the 3000m steeplechase, missing out on a world
:21:42. > :21:44.record by just under a second. Ghribi is the record-holder and
:21:45. > :21:52.provides the quickest competition, as Jebet looks to go one better.
:21:53. > :21:56.On the far side of the track, some 16 starters in this one, and of
:21:57. > :22:03.course we are used to bury QuickTime is being run these days, indeed the
:22:04. > :22:09.second athlete has joined the under nine minute club this year. -- very
:22:10. > :22:17.quick times. The number two all time, the Asian games champion,
:22:18. > :22:25.Jebet. Running for Bahrain, although she is, of course, Kenyan born. The
:22:26. > :22:33.pacemaker, Fancy Cherotich, will take over and the pace that has been
:22:34. > :22:41.asked for is three minutes for the first kilometre. The world record is
:22:42. > :22:51.8:50 8.1, that was said by a Russian in Beijing. -- set. They got off at
:22:52. > :23:01.a fair old lick here, and Ruth Jebet, who beat the world champion,
:23:02. > :23:05.slots right into third place. With two and a half minutes on the clock,
:23:06. > :23:08.the second and fourth fastest athlete in history and art in this
:23:09. > :23:15.Beeld, the Olympic gold and silver-medallists from London. --
:23:16. > :23:21.are in this field. It is a pretty packed field. The leader has Jebet
:23:22. > :23:25.in her slipstream. The second pacemaker, who was supposed to take
:23:26. > :23:30.them to halfway, cannot stay with this. She has not gone with it, just
:23:31. > :23:35.looking to see if Ghribi is out there. She is way back, she has to
:23:36. > :23:43.be coming back from injury or illness, because she is not remotely
:23:44. > :23:47.interested in challenging. So Ruth Beitia, then - second attempt,
:23:48. > :23:50.always looks very confident, believing that she is going to clear
:23:51. > :24:00.it, and that is so important in the vertical jumps. 37 years old now,
:24:01. > :24:06.Ruth Beitia. Fourth in the Olympic Games in London. Oh! Squeezes over
:24:07. > :24:13.that one. It is almost like she maintained contact with it most of
:24:14. > :24:21.the way over, beautifully judged, the arc. That gives her the lead,
:24:22. > :24:28.1.93, and now the others have it all to do. This is Troy Doris, second
:24:29. > :24:35.jump in the triple jump, first-round, as you can see, 16.32.
:24:36. > :24:42.We saw Christian Taylor at 16.70 in his first-round jump. That is a
:24:43. > :24:49.lovely piece of jumping, it looks as though he has gone a bit further
:24:50. > :24:55.than that. 16.50 by the look of it. Look at him, he has got more clothes
:24:56. > :25:02.on, weighed down by Kit! But obviously that tells you the story
:25:03. > :25:08.of the condition out here. 16.55, there he is, second place. Alessia
:25:09. > :25:14.Trost, third and final attempt at 1.93. It would be a season's best if
:25:15. > :25:24.she were to get this. 1.92 she jumped in Eugene at the end of May.
:25:25. > :25:28.No, no. No. Just took off a little bit too far away, or seemingly so,
:25:29. > :25:37.difficult to judge from here. She has gone now. Licwinko desperate to
:25:38. > :25:45.get over this, she struggled at 1.90, doing it on the third attempt.
:25:46. > :25:56.That was close, actually. That was close. She has gone too. So this big
:25:57. > :26:04.striding athlete hammers in, gets good lift, just too much on that bar
:26:05. > :26:16.there. That is the result of the high jump, Ruth Beitia's a season's
:26:17. > :26:27.best. Jebet down the back straight, a lead of 70 metres now, running
:26:28. > :26:30.superbly. Second in Shanghai, 9:15, only 11th in the World Championships
:26:31. > :26:40.last year, how she has come on over this last 12 months or so. Around
:26:41. > :26:46.about 3:03 for the second element but has maintained the tempo pretty
:26:47. > :26:50.well considering the pace of the first kilometre. Anything around
:26:51. > :26:56.8:30 is world-class, frankly. The rest of the field go through in her
:26:57. > :27:00.slipstream. She comes through below us with two laps to run. A tiny
:27:01. > :27:04.little figure, the diminutive figure, a little stuttering over the
:27:05. > :27:22.barrier. The Australian duo running really well. A personal best for
:27:23. > :27:25.LaCaze last week, and she has had personal bests at different
:27:26. > :27:30.distances, all pretty solid times, in contrast to the African
:27:31. > :27:34.steeplechasers, who do not focus on flat running at all, really only
:27:35. > :27:37.concentrate on the chase itself. But there is little Ruth Jebet driving
:27:38. > :27:44.on, with six and would metres to run, still looking strong. -- with
:27:45. > :27:55.600m. Barring disaster, she has the race won. The lead is about 100m.
:27:56. > :28:01.Chepkoech has dropped back and is being reeled in by the Australian
:28:02. > :28:04.duo. Jebet, again, without stuttering performance over the
:28:05. > :28:08.barrier, she has to be losing a couple of metres each time she does
:28:09. > :28:12.that. The Australians on the hand, they have got a good team in Europe
:28:13. > :28:17.at the moment, some only arrived in the last few days, gradually finding
:28:18. > :28:22.their feet. Jebet enters the last lap, she has got to cover it in
:28:23. > :28:28.around 6768 seconds to break nine minutes. She has held to form pretty
:28:29. > :28:32.well through the second kilometre. In Stockholm, they love distance
:28:33. > :28:39.running, they love steeplechasing. Can they roar her on through the
:28:40. > :28:42.last 300m? She is working hard, LaCaze is in fourth, there are some
:28:43. > :28:50.big names behind this Australian pairing. Madeline Hills was fourth
:28:51. > :28:55.in Oslo last Thursday, a personal best of 9:20 four. She went out in
:28:56. > :28:59.the World Championships last at 5000 and the steeplechase. This is a
:29:00. > :29:02.great battle between this trio. A little domestic dustup between the
:29:03. > :29:07.Australians, the water jump for the final time for Jebet. The crowd
:29:08. > :29:12.roaring her on, she is not going to be under nine minutes. It has been a
:29:13. > :29:16.mighty strong run, impressive run, as LaCaze takes hard in towards the
:29:17. > :29:24.final water jump out of shot. Skipping over the final barrier, the
:29:25. > :29:27.little Bahraini was a winner beating the world champion, she has beaten
:29:28. > :29:36.the field by virtually the length of the home straight. 9:08, the meeting
:29:37. > :29:45.record has gone. Gravy was not a factor at all. -- Ghribi. A good run
:29:46. > :29:51.from LaCaze, across the line now, 9:20 3.5, and Hills come through for
:29:52. > :30:00.fifth place, very good performance. Very good performance. She loves to
:30:01. > :30:08.run on her own and she did the same thing despite the presence of the
:30:09. > :30:14.World Champion in that fabulous race and she dipped under nine minutes.
:30:15. > :30:20.That is confirmation of the win, Jebet. A meeting record, the only
:30:21. > :30:36.one of the night so far. Rabbi, of Kenya. And great run from Match of
:30:37. > :30:39.the Day. A second attempt now. The world record holder is used to these
:30:40. > :30:46.situations, he has been in these situations several times before and
:30:47. > :30:51.he really hits the deck. That is fabulous, much, much better. That
:30:52. > :30:56.was better. A second time the clearance for the Olympic champion,
:30:57. > :31:07.twice indoor champion, Corinthian Casuals. No throws to open with, the
:31:08. > :31:13.Egyptian. He is a massive thrower. World Championship silver-medallist
:31:14. > :31:20.last year. That is big, over 85 metres for the 27-year-old. One in
:31:21. > :31:24.Eugene with 87 metres. On fifth in Oslo last week, he had a bad evening
:31:25. > :31:31.in the stadium but he has gone much better. 86 metres X Maclay. That is
:31:32. > :31:39.going to take some catching. Shawn Barber in the Pole Vault, his
:31:40. > :31:51.third and final attempt of 5.7 three. Hill had problems at 5.50,
:31:52. > :31:58.5.60 five. -- he had problems. The World Champion finding it tough. Oh,
:31:59. > :32:06.no, no! He is out. He is in second place behind Corinthian Casuals, a
:32:07. > :32:18.familiar pattern in many respects. Chris Carter of the United States --
:32:19. > :32:25.behind Renaud Lavillenie. He is pretty quick on the runway and that
:32:26. > :32:38.looks to be a bit better. 16.21 in the first round. Not bad control
:32:39. > :32:40.rate the way through. Third place. That is the line-up for the women's
:32:41. > :33:00.400m. The bronze-medallist in the World
:33:01. > :33:05.Championships is part of the Great Britain Relay. 51.55 her season's
:33:06. > :33:13.best. Novlene Williams-Mills around a long time and competing in five
:33:14. > :33:18.World Championships beginning in it soccer in 2007. A of experience. So
:33:19. > :33:24.then Bundy-Davies of Great Britain, a member of the British four by
:33:25. > :33:32.four, season's best 51.26 in Geneva five days ago. Twice European junior
:33:33. > :33:43.champion Laviai Nielsen. 52.20 eight. A season's best. Just a
:33:44. > :33:52.little bit quicker last season. A not -- a long hold but they have got
:33:53. > :34:00.away this time. Looks as though the 24 has gone off quickly in this.
:34:01. > :34:03.Bundy-Davies going well. Williams Mills flying down towards 200m and
:34:04. > :34:08.she leads at the moment, the most experienced athlete in the
:34:09. > :34:13.competition so far. And she is certainly leading, John Sillett
:34:14. > :34:20.going well. The Polish runner running nicely -- Bundy-Davies.
:34:21. > :34:29.Onuora strength in the final stages. Bundy-Davies looking good and it is
:34:30. > :34:32.going to be anybody's race. Novlene Williams-Mills and Onuora is coming
:34:33. > :34:36.through strongly. Novlene Williams-Mills is going to take
:34:37. > :34:43.this, Onuora gets second, Grenot gets third. That was a good race.
:34:44. > :34:47.Nothing special about the time but my goodness me, Novlene
:34:48. > :34:53.Williams-Mills charged through the first 200m and she probably went a
:34:54. > :34:56.bit quick because he, they had caught her. Bundy-Davies looked good
:34:57. > :35:02.as she came into this part of the race, tied up a bit here. And right
:35:03. > :35:10.on the inside, Nielsen going well but losing form. Onuora on the
:35:11. > :35:20.outside closing down well. Yes, conditions, the times said it all. A
:35:21. > :35:24.world-class field. Not many races won in the Diamond League as slow as
:35:25. > :35:27.that, no reflection on the athletes. It was a cool evening and they were
:35:28. > :35:31.held a long time before they got away. I expected more from
:35:32. > :35:36.Bundy-Davies, she got her personal best five days ago in Geneva, 51.26,
:35:37. > :35:40.but tonight she dived down the home straight when I thought she would
:35:41. > :35:49.kick on well, finishing in fourth place. 52.7 one. Fresh from breaking
:35:50. > :35:56.the Scottish male record in Oslo, Laura Muir turns her attention to
:35:57. > :36:03.the metric mile, targeting the 1500m podium in Rio but this is her first
:36:04. > :36:08.race in the distance. She is joined by Laura Weightman who has already
:36:09. > :36:13.had a qualifying time in Eugene. The women's on the back straight --
:36:14. > :36:16.the women on the back straight and what a good field this is and what a
:36:17. > :36:22.fascinating race this could turn out to be. Looking out for the world
:36:23. > :36:28.indoor champion in 2012, Hellen Obiri. And also for Uefa who ran so
:36:29. > :36:46.doggedly in Oslo last week, hanging on to the coat-tails. Also Fulham of
:36:47. > :36:58.Great Britain, European Championship bronze-medallist in 2014 -- Laura
:36:59. > :37:08.Weightman. Four minutes a realistic top -- target for athletes of this
:37:09. > :37:13.calibre. It is important they go with it and they run aggressively. A
:37:14. > :37:21.lot of strength in this field, Muir does not like to hang around all the
:37:22. > :37:25.slack. The Polish runner in this field as well, the tall figure in
:37:26. > :37:29.the mere -- in the middle, Weightman towards the back of the pack on the
:37:30. > :37:33.outside, out of trouble. As they head down the home straight with
:37:34. > :37:43.three laps to go. 84 macro in second place, the 22-year-old of Australia,
:37:44. > :37:53.Jenny Blundell all. And a lot of strange movements. Surging round the
:37:54. > :38:00.outside, the Ethiopian, Besu Sado. A best of just outside four minutes.
:38:01. > :38:07.Up to 400m. 63 .1 nine. Pretty much perfect and they look up for it.
:38:08. > :38:12.Besu Sado is almost having a conversation with the other it
:38:13. > :38:18.Ethiopian runners. If she can tempt them to stay with her through the
:38:19. > :38:23.second lap, 2.07 is a promising split. Yes, it is. Not bad
:38:24. > :38:28.pacemaking. We saw Jenny Meadows with her first pacemaking job the
:38:29. > :38:32.last time out in Oslo and she did well to take 2.0 seven. Laura
:38:33. > :38:37.Weightman moving well and Laura Muir getting herself out of the middle of
:38:38. > :38:44.the pack and onto the outside and in a position to attack. Ricoh Arena on
:38:45. > :38:49.the outside. They have slowed down a little bit, not sure what the
:38:50. > :39:03.statistics will tell us -- Ricoh Arena. It is a shame. Towards the
:39:04. > :39:18.back of the field, running a seesaw tight race. What a shame. That Italy
:39:19. > :39:21.pays off 63, the first lap. She should step aside now, she should
:39:22. > :39:27.step of the track and we hope she does not get in anybody's way, Sado
:39:28. > :39:31.still leading. Weightman hits the front and she does not have great
:39:32. > :39:37.speed, neither does Laura Muir and the British runners in first and
:39:38. > :39:49.second at the moment. 550 two run. A bit of elbowing with Sado. And they
:39:50. > :39:57.come down towards the bowl. Laura Muir perfectly poised, Sado moving
:39:58. > :40:05.onto her shoulder. Laura Muir, Sado, Weightman in third place. Weightman
:40:06. > :40:09.one making them work on this final lap, she looked very strong and very
:40:10. > :40:19.confident last week -- Muir. Hanging onto the coat-tails of her
:40:20. > :40:23.competitor in Oslo. The third lap, Muir looks to have lost a bit of
:40:24. > :40:29.speed and almost her rhythm. Up on her toes again and onto the shoulder
:40:30. > :40:35.of Meraf Bahta. Moving round the outside with Sado heading backwards.
:40:36. > :40:48.Just liking speed at this stage. 150 metres to run. Muir still battling.
:40:49. > :40:52.624 down the outside, it is anybody's race. Muir looking for a
:40:53. > :40:57.way through and she cannot seem daylight. A big win for the Polish
:40:58. > :41:08.runner, she has blown away, look at that. Meraf Bahta. Gudaf Tsegay
:41:09. > :41:15.taking third place. Sado lacking the legs through the last 150. The place
:41:16. > :41:21.times will be stronger because a lot of athletes within a second or two
:41:22. > :41:26.of that strong run from Angelika Cichocka who came with a personal
:41:27. > :41:31.best of 4.03 and has very nearly broken that the night, it is
:41:32. > :41:36.certainly has season's best. Two terms of a second from her lifetime
:41:37. > :41:41.best. Look at the form from the Polish runner as the rest of them
:41:42. > :41:45.struggle. Muir ran a very different race today. She stayed back in the
:41:46. > :41:52.pack and she did not want to get out there quickly. And in the end, she
:41:53. > :41:56.did not have the speed to stay with this woman. And they expected Hellen
:41:57. > :42:01.Obiri to be up there. Meraf Bahta ran well tactically, at the back,
:42:02. > :42:07.moving up slowly but surely, getting her to second place. So the third
:42:08. > :42:11.round of the javelin. The World Champion Diego looking for that
:42:12. > :42:19.90-metre form and he really does, that. He hit that hard. It looks
:42:20. > :42:27.much better but when he hit the javelin, it knows that it is hit. He
:42:28. > :42:32.moves his front foot ahead and he unleashes the arm. He hits it almost
:42:33. > :42:36.with his chest first and his arm follows through. Not passive, very
:42:37. > :42:47.active, but he has got it, such power. Second place at the moment.
:42:48. > :42:56.Yego. Back to the third-round throw now of
:42:57. > :43:04.Thomas Rohler. The best of the third round. He is a big man, the German.
:43:05. > :43:09.That is beyond 85 metres. Remember 86 metres, the third-round throw
:43:10. > :43:20.that you saw a couple of minutes ago. The German World Championship
:43:21. > :43:27.finalist last year. Hitting 85 metres, 89. Falling just 11
:43:28. > :43:32.centimetres. Four inches shy of the lead from round three. Into place,
:43:33. > :43:37.come to believe. The final round in the Triple Jump for Christian Taylor
:43:38. > :43:46.already leading. Getting better and better. That is certainly better. We
:43:47. > :43:50.said this man is such a consistent jumper, he really is. He is way out
:43:51. > :44:00.of there as World Champion, Olympic champion. He has done it all and he
:44:01. > :44:06.wants to do it again. That is 17.50 nine. He has won it. By newly a
:44:07. > :44:14.metre from Troy Doris. Christian Taylor in a class about on the
:44:15. > :44:20.night. So there it is. It is a packed field. Vincent Parise
:44:21. > :44:26.attempts to get them under way properly this time unlike in
:44:27. > :44:32.Shanghai, not his fault. David Rudisha, fabulous run in Birmingham
:44:33. > :44:44.over 600 metres. In very good form for the world record-holder.
:44:45. > :44:56.Hears the championship man, always difficult to beat. World
:44:57. > :44:58.Championship finalist last year, fall in Beijing. What can David
:44:59. > :45:14.Rudisha now do in the men's 800m? Well, this promises much, it really
:45:15. > :45:23.does, very calm now, and the superb pacemaker has gone out already.
:45:24. > :45:28.Timothy Kitum has gone up to get position, Bosse right on the back of
:45:29. > :45:38.the group, and Rudisha moves into second place. Looks very
:45:39. > :45:47.comfortable, Aman behind him, Kitum, then Bosse, who was always a threat,
:45:48. > :45:52.proved to be so in the last race. They are settling down, Kitum is the
:45:53. > :45:58.leader of the two Kenyans, apart from Rudisha. I am surprised that
:45:59. > :46:02.Bosse has not made more interest of Rudisha, not really interested in
:46:03. > :46:07.going with the pacemaker, they have gone through in about 52 seconds. It
:46:08. > :46:12.was slow, and Rudisha looked like he wanted to control this one. He is
:46:13. > :46:17.leading the race proper, then Aman, then Bosse really attacking down the
:46:18. > :46:21.back straight. Rudisha responds now, and this is what is going to happen,
:46:22. > :46:27.Bosse was always going to put the pressure on, and Kdzczot making some
:46:28. > :46:32.headway into third place, Rotich coming through behind Aman. So
:46:33. > :46:39.Rudisha and Bosse into the final bend now, with Rotich powering down
:46:40. > :46:44.the straight. Remember, he won the race in Shanghai, and look at these,
:46:45. > :46:51.Rudisha is beaten here, Bosse, Rotich, is he going to do it again?
:46:52. > :46:54.He will take it, Rotich, Bosse second, Kszczot third, Rudisha was
:46:55. > :47:09.fourth, and in fifth place was Abdullah. The time, 1:45.7, he came
:47:10. > :47:13.through on the inside and David Rudisha, and he beat him there, but
:47:14. > :47:18.my goodness me, that was another race for him, and I just wonder,
:47:19. > :47:22.Tim, where Dave Wood Rhodesia is at this time? Gulp it is a very good
:47:23. > :47:31.question, I do not think he is comfortable running in that manner.
:47:32. > :47:36.-- David Rudisha. I am sure he does not like the conditions, but they
:47:37. > :47:41.are the same for everyone. He had to kick in really hard to keep Bosse at
:47:42. > :47:45.bay. Bosse moved alongside him very fast, but they were all beaten by
:47:46. > :47:52.this man, Rotich, who knows how to celebrate! Is celebration probably
:47:53. > :47:56.annoyed Rudisha in Shanghai. The picture could be very different in
:47:57. > :47:58.seven or eight weeks' time. That concludes proceedings in Stockholm,
:47:59. > :48:13.there are the leaders. The season rolls on, the performance
:48:14. > :48:19.of the night for me was Ruth Jebet of Bahrain, 9:08.37 in the
:48:20. > :48:25.steeplechase. We will be in Monaco very soon, we hope the weather will
:48:26. > :48:27.be significantly better! When I next weekend, the British championship
:48:28. > :48:33.with places on the road to rail at stake. We will have the best of the
:48:34. > :48:42.action from one o'clock on BBC Two. -- on the road to Rio.
:48:43. > :48:46.That is all for now from Stockholm, though, until next time, goodbye!
