:01:19. > :01:22.In the first of two finals in this year's Diamond League,
:01:23. > :01:25.16 Diamond Race titles will be decided tonight in an evening
:01:26. > :01:29.We are back in Switzerland where the city of Zurich
:01:30. > :01:37.Your commentators at the stadium are Tim Hutchings and Steve Cram.
:01:38. > :01:40.We were here of course for the European
:01:41. > :01:47.Championship in 2014, lots of memories from that.
:01:48. > :01:51.We begin tonight with a non-Diamond league race.
:01:52. > :02:00.This is not a Diamond Race but we have Eilidh Doyle
:02:01. > :02:08.The American, Little, looking to make some
:02:09. > :02:30.A great lane draw for Doyle in the pink shoes in lane four.
:02:31. > :02:39.Third from left has got off quite quick.
:02:40. > :02:41.Petersen moving well, looking very strong.
:02:42. > :02:42.She runs her races, perfectly measured
:02:43. > :02:56.The World Championship silver medallist last year,
:02:57. > :03:02.of whom so much was expected in this Olympic year.
:03:03. > :03:04.Maybe Little is getting it right here, albeit
:03:05. > :03:10.Doyle in second place in lane four but has some work to do
:03:11. > :03:17.Petersen comes through very strongly in lane six.
:03:18. > :03:24.It's all too late in this 2016 summer.
:03:25. > :03:34.She has a relatively poor form since the Olympic trial,
:03:35. > :03:36.sixth in Monaco and London, fifth one week ago.
:03:37. > :03:48.A great run, nonetheless and we can confirm the result
:03:49. > :03:51.of the 400 metres hurdles, with Little finding her
:03:52. > :04:03.The women's pole vault was held the night before on the main station
:04:04. > :04:08.A large enthusiastic crowd of fans and commuters were treated
:04:09. > :04:10.to a close-up view of a high-quality competition which included a gold
:04:11. > :04:21.It was Great Britain's Holly Bradshaw who claimed the victory.
:04:22. > :04:30.4.76m at the first attempt, which would prove to be
:04:31. > :04:34.A season's best for Bradshaw and her third best ever.
:04:35. > :04:37.Stefanidi, the Olympic champion, had passed due to earlier failures
:04:38. > :04:44.Sandi Morris also rued an early miss.
:04:45. > :04:49.She cleared 4.76 too but lost out to Bradshaw.
:04:50. > :04:52.This was not a Diamond League event but it was a significant win
:04:53. > :04:54.for Holly against the Olympic medallist.
:04:55. > :04:56.A couple of competitions left, she's not ready yet
:04:57. > :05:04.A great win in an unusual venue, just the ticket for Holly.
:05:05. > :05:07.Still to come, four of the world's most decorated 200 metre runners go
:05:08. > :05:15.British 1500 metre record-holder Laura Muir is still in the race
:05:16. > :05:20.All the protagonists are here for the women's 800 metres
:05:21. > :05:32.And the stacked 100 metres features Kendra Harrison and Ruth Jebet leads
:05:33. > :05:42.the field in the women's steeplechase.
:05:43. > :05:45.Next on the track on the far side, the men's 5000 metres.
:05:46. > :05:50.Look at the list of names going through there.
:05:51. > :05:54.This could well be very close, in terms of winning
:05:55. > :06:21.He has to make up eight points on Edris.
:06:22. > :06:24.With double points, if you win tonight, you get 20
:06:25. > :06:26.and if you come second, their positions would be reversed.
:06:27. > :06:56.They are looking of course, to get under 13 minutes here.
:06:57. > :06:59.When you think back to all of the great 5000 metres over
:07:00. > :07:01.the years, you can remember the world record being broken
:07:02. > :07:16.No Mo Farah of course but a chance for some of the others to get quick
:07:17. > :07:17.times and certainly for Kejelcha to have a big payday.
:07:18. > :07:26.The Olympic silver medallist in the steeplechase.
:07:27. > :07:28.There has been discussion about whether Evan Jager can improve
:07:29. > :07:35.Let's not forget Ryan Hill who had a fantastic run
:07:36. > :07:37.in Paris in 3000 metres last week, last Saturday.
:07:38. > :07:43.There were so many men in great form in Paris,
:07:44. > :07:46.the 3000, who are running here again tonight.
:07:47. > :07:49.I'm optimistic we will see several men go under 13 minutes
:07:50. > :07:56.but they have not got to go with the pace.
:07:57. > :07:58.62 seconds per lap is 12.55 tempo, it's not hanging about.
:07:59. > :08:07.They are in the pack, running around 65 for the first lap
:08:08. > :08:12.and are going even slower now, so only Evan Jager going
:08:13. > :08:15.with the pace so this will be interesting.
:08:16. > :08:17.If they keep running four or five laps, and then
:08:18. > :08:21.he is out there on his own, is he in the sort of shape to keep
:08:22. > :08:23.going if they end up running at this pace?
:08:24. > :08:29.A great field in a women's long jump.
:08:30. > :08:37.Including all three Olympic medallists.
:08:38. > :08:39.Spanovic, of course, despite jumping well
:08:40. > :08:41.in Rio, she had to settle for the bronze.
:08:42. > :08:44.She starts brilliantly in round one, in the sunshine, down
:08:45. > :08:50.Straight off the board, no wind in the stadium.
:08:51. > :09:09.She had so much but the 30 around her in those
:09:10. > :09:14.Didn't perform as well as she would have liked.
:09:15. > :09:19.Very, very tight in the first two or three rounds.
:09:20. > :09:24.She was chopping into the board there, those long legs
:09:25. > :09:36.Brittney Reese trying to respond, as she did in Rio.
:09:37. > :09:45.Now, still searching for seven metres.
:09:46. > :09:51.A great technique from Brittney Reese, so powerful.
:09:52. > :09:59.6.95, takes the lead by just two centimetres.
:10:00. > :10:01.That was the best jump of the competition so she won.
:10:02. > :10:13.In the Diamond Race, it was Spanovic who came out on top.
:10:14. > :10:19.She's pretty much had it wrapped up tonight.
:10:20. > :10:26.That's the case for quite a few of the athletes.
:10:27. > :10:29.There's many events where that is not the case.
:10:30. > :10:31.Interesting thing in the 5000 metres, Evan Jager went
:10:32. > :10:36.That is the sort of pace we are asking for.
:10:37. > :10:41.They are continuing to run at a slow pace, the pack.
:10:42. > :10:54.Settled down a little bit in 62s, but running sub-13 minutes.
:10:55. > :10:56.It's about 11 seconds, actually, now.
:10:57. > :11:02.They are showing no signs of picking it up.
:11:03. > :11:05.I just wonder whether they realise it is Jager up there.
:11:06. > :11:09.Some of the Ethiopians running in 5000 metres,
:11:10. > :11:12.they may not realise that Jager has the ability
:11:13. > :11:22.perhaps to run under 13, so this is hugely interesting.
:11:23. > :11:35.The Olympic and world champion, Perkovic, leads,
:11:36. > :11:49.You can laugh all you want because the big pressure
:11:50. > :12:02.Well, very modest three opening rounds from the French woman.
:12:03. > :12:15.But she is struggling to get anywhere near that.
:12:16. > :12:18.She opened with 57 and then 58 and then 60.
:12:19. > :12:34.63.91, second place but long way down.
:12:35. > :12:36.67.98 in round four, no throw in round five.
:12:37. > :12:50.You can see out there just over the 70-metre line,
:12:51. > :13:02.68.44 for Perkovic , by far the longest throw
:13:03. > :13:09.About as good as it can get from Sandra Perkovic.
:13:10. > :13:11.She's ahead of the French, Melina Robert-Michon.
:13:12. > :13:15.Less than three laps to go for Evan Jager but the chase is on.
:13:16. > :13:28.Evan Jager has cut himself loose of the pacemaker,
:13:29. > :13:36.They have slowed in the fourth kilometer.
:13:37. > :13:44.There are not going to be any fast times here tonight,
:13:45. > :13:47.but what needs to be sorted out is who is going to win this
:13:48. > :13:55.Kejelcha hopes by winning tonight, he hopes to guarantee he gets
:13:56. > :13:58.the big pot but Evan Jager has messed up the party a little
:13:59. > :14:04.Kejelcha could still be second if he does not catch Evan Jager.
:14:05. > :14:07.So Evan Jager with two laps to go, can he hang on?
:14:08. > :14:18.That fourth kilometer was his slowest.
:14:19. > :14:20.He leads the pack though, but the gap is 50 metres.
:14:21. > :14:23.I just think he has got the strength and experience
:14:24. > :14:36.He is inexperienced but frankly, this is just pure
:14:37. > :15:00.As I speak, every metre, it closes and it closes,
:15:01. > :15:10.Wouldn't you like to have a head start of a good 35 metres,
:15:11. > :15:12.maybe even more, going into the bell?
:15:13. > :15:30.The two big kickers at the back of the pack could catch him.
:15:31. > :15:36.He's just starting to look a little tired down the back straight.
:15:37. > :15:38.He was 12.15 at the bell, went 5.5 seconds down.
:15:39. > :15:49.Gebhriwet lets loose, and he is chasing him down.
:15:50. > :15:51.If he won this, and other positions depended on it,
:15:52. > :16:00.He has been out there for so long, a brave effort from him,
:16:01. > :16:12.Gebhriwet coming through to take the win.
:16:13. > :16:15.Chelimo will be second, a very tired Jager will hang on for third.
:16:16. > :16:25.They all looked at each other, and for a long time it looked
:16:26. > :16:35.He picked up a little bit in the last 600 metres,
:16:36. > :16:44.I am surprised the pack let Jager go in the first place.
:16:45. > :16:53.Disappointing, really, because they have to run tactically
:16:54. > :16:56.over the 12 and a half laps, but the conditions are as good
:16:57. > :17:03.I don't think he realises, because he was just winning
:17:04. > :17:08.the race, but because he won and others were not inside the top
:17:09. > :17:21.Confirmation of the Diamond Race standings at the end.
:17:22. > :17:24.Gebhriwet, jumping from 15 points to 35, gets ahead of a disconsolate
:17:25. > :17:35.The winners of the past four Olympic titles take
:17:36. > :17:47.Double Olympic sprint champion Elaine Thompson faces Dafne
:17:48. > :17:53.She cannot be caught in the Diamond Race and is keen
:17:54. > :17:59.for revenge after losing out to Thompson in Rio.
:18:00. > :18:14.Kambundji will get a roar from the crowd, very popular.
:18:15. > :18:21.Inside Elaine Thompson, the double Olympic champion from Rio.
:18:22. > :18:33.Ahye from Trinidad and Tobago was sixth in Rio.
:18:34. > :18:38.She was fifth last year in Beijing over 100 metres.
:18:39. > :18:47.Allyson Felix, a six-time Olympic champion.
:18:48. > :18:53.She ran in the Olympic trials at 400.
:18:54. > :18:56.This young lady, the Jamaican, Elaine Thompson, at 24,
:18:57. > :18:58.double Olympic champion, then she won in Paris last
:18:59. > :19:11.Dafne Schippers, the third fastest athlete in history.
:19:12. > :19:28.Dafne Schippers, Elaine Thompson, Allyson Felix, in five, six, seven.
:19:29. > :19:37.Veronica Campbell-Brown, only sixth in Lausanne, certainly not the force
:19:38. > :19:40.she was. Dina Asher-Smith, the young British runner in fabulous form. She
:19:41. > :19:42.should go well. Kambundji, seventh in Lausanne
:19:43. > :19:45.exactly a week ago tonight, a semifinalist in Rio in 100
:19:46. > :19:53.metres and 200 metres. I got the impression that Schippers
:19:54. > :20:23.dipped a little early. We will have to wait and see
:20:24. > :20:35.what the computer says. I thought Allyson Felix would come
:20:36. > :20:38.through more strongly in the second half.
:20:39. > :20:41.21.85, a Diamond League record by a Elaine Thompson.
:20:42. > :20:47.Dafne Schippers, she burnt the bend this time, and Elaine Thompson
:20:48. > :20:53.That is what Schippers is normally so good at.
:20:54. > :20:57.This time, just tying up in the last 25-30 metres.
:20:58. > :21:05.This is where she's normally good and holds it together,
:21:06. > :21:08.but look at Thompson, still trying to keep it relaxed.
:21:09. > :21:12.Look at the tension in Schippers's face,
:21:13. > :21:28.Consolation as well, Dafne Schippers was already clear
:21:29. > :21:30.in terms of winning the Diamond Race.
:21:31. > :21:35.She had it at five metres out, didn't she?
:21:36. > :21:57.We can go now to the men's shot put competition.
:21:58. > :21:59.Tom Walsh, the bronze medal from Rio.
:22:00. > :22:05.Commonwealth silver medallist two years ago.
:22:06. > :22:06.He has had a fabulous couple of years.
:22:07. > :22:16.He won in Paris by one centimetre last week.
:22:17. > :22:35.A fabulous effort in Paris, where he threw 22 metres exactly.
:22:36. > :22:37.Crouser, the Olympic champion, took everyone by surprise
:22:38. > :22:45.He had the world youth title in 2009.
:22:46. > :22:55.That, for Crouser, at 22 metres exactly.
:22:56. > :23:14.The best of his opening three rounds was only 20.89.
:23:15. > :23:22.Joe Kovacs, there, the Olympic silver medallist and world
:23:23. > :23:29.21.20, the best of his series, in third place.
:23:30. > :23:37.Tom Walsh is indeed the winner with 22.20
:23:38. > :23:49.Tom Walsh on this occasion puts the best of them behind him.
:23:50. > :23:59.Ryan Crouser second, Joe Kovacs third.
:24:00. > :24:01.After her disappointment in the Olympic final,
:24:02. > :24:04.Britain's Laura Muir bounced back at last week's Diamond League
:24:05. > :24:07.meeting in Paris with a new PB and winning time, taking her to 13th
:24:08. > :24:09.on the all-time list for 1500 metres and left Olympic champion
:24:10. > :24:22.Faith Kipyegon behind for the first time this year.
:24:23. > :24:27.Repeat result would see her win the Diamond.
:24:28. > :24:30.She would have to overcome a field packed with many
:24:31. > :24:35.The women's 1500 metres, and what a field we have here.
:24:36. > :24:41.Pretty much the Olympic final here with one or two differences.
:24:42. > :24:44.Jenny Meadows is doing the pacemaking job.
:24:45. > :24:51.Laura Muir has had the season of her life.
:24:52. > :24:59.There is the woman who won gold on the day, Faith Kipyegon.
:25:00. > :25:09.For Laura Muir, Scotland's finest, two British records this year,
:25:10. > :25:10.a world-leading 3.55 in Paris last week,
:25:11. > :25:18.If Laura Muir can win this race, she can catch Faith Kipyegon.
:25:19. > :25:22.Double points tonight, of course, so is Laura Muir going to go for it?
:25:23. > :25:25.It was her frontrunning tactics in Paris that took everybody,
:25:26. > :25:28.not so much by surprise because she has done it before,
:25:29. > :25:34.but the power of her running as the pacemakers dropped out.
:25:35. > :25:40.She wants Jenny Meadows to go off at a steady pace through 800
:25:41. > :25:45.Laura Muir will be ready to pick it up from there.
:25:46. > :25:56.Kipyegon this time, I'm pretty sure, will not let
:25:57. > :26:04.Laura Muir get away as easily as she did in Paris,
:26:05. > :26:07.though I am not sure there was much she could have done about it.
:26:08. > :26:09.It is exciting, because while it is predictable,
:26:10. > :26:12.you know when Laura Muir lines up you will have a tough race.
:26:13. > :26:14.They know they will get tested tonight.
:26:15. > :26:16.The only problem is, from Laura's perspective,
:26:17. > :26:24.You know you're going to get this long charge from home
:26:25. > :26:26.from about 1000 metres out, and they can prepare mentally
:26:27. > :26:28.and physically, but that is a quick opener.
:26:29. > :26:40.Jenny is obviously a great 800 metres runner and is good at judging
:26:41. > :26:44.pace, and she will keep this going nicely.
:26:45. > :26:55.That clicked Laura Muir into another gear and she kept
:26:56. > :27:02.Laura Muir with Kipyegon on her shoulder.
:27:03. > :27:15.Right at the back is the Polish runner.
:27:16. > :27:21.It has been a nice break since Paris last Saturday.
:27:22. > :27:26.Laura Muir has had five days of rest.
:27:27. > :27:29.Enough time to go down the track, a light session.
:27:30. > :27:52.After Paris, where she took them to hell and back,
:27:53. > :27:56.Jenny Meadows drops out after doing a good pacemaking job.
:27:57. > :28:07.Faith Kipyegon is thinking, this is not Paris and you're not
:28:08. > :28:53.Laura Muir is sitting there, trying to come back at Faith Kipyegon.
:28:54. > :28:58.Jenny Simpson looks dangerous, so does Shannon Rowbury.
:28:59. > :29:01.As they come into the home straight, it is not about the times
:29:02. > :29:03.necessarily, it is about the win tonight.
:29:04. > :29:07.Laura Muir is going to try to kick this one.
:29:08. > :29:10.Kipyegon looks spent, and Laura Muir is pulling away.
:29:11. > :29:16.Is Shannon Rowbury going to get there?
:29:17. > :29:27.How many dives across the line have we seen?
:29:28. > :29:31.Shannon Rowbury, I was just about to say that Laura Muir
:29:32. > :29:43.was going to hang on, but Shannon Rowbury,
:29:44. > :29:46.with that lunge, may well have robbed her of the victory
:29:47. > :29:49.overall as well, because she had to get the win, given that
:29:50. > :29:57.A very different race to Paris, but a quick time nonetheless.
:29:58. > :30:07.Reversing the positions of Paris, when Simpson finished ahead of her.
:30:08. > :30:21.Laura Muir did everything she could here.
:30:22. > :30:24.The Olympic champion is truly not the force of a couple of weeks back.
:30:25. > :30:27.Kipyegon nearly shut the door down on Laura Muir.
:30:28. > :30:29.In lane two, if she had stuck to the curve,
:30:30. > :30:31.Rowberry could've found it tough with some traffic to get
:30:32. > :30:34.Than her legs give way under her.
:30:35. > :30:37.That is what you call giving your all.
:30:38. > :30:39.Well, Kipyegon ended up actually seventh,
:30:40. > :30:40.and who would have predicted that before tonight?
:30:41. > :30:45.She only had to finish fourth or fifth and that
:30:46. > :30:54.Not only lost, a poor race by her standards.
:30:55. > :31:08.I did not know if I had her or not, but I'm over the moon.
:31:09. > :31:13.I wanted to do the same as Paris, and I knew if I ran a good
:31:14. > :31:27.I could not hold off at the end, but was very close.
:31:28. > :31:28.Braz, one of the biggest shocks in Rio.
:31:29. > :31:31.In front of his home crowd in the pole vault.
:31:32. > :31:40.There he goes clear, no trouble at all.
:31:41. > :31:47.Took three attempts at 5.62, a little while ago.
:31:48. > :31:51.But the world junior champion back in 2012, he has been
:31:52. > :31:56.there or thereabouts, fourth in the World Indoors in 2014
:31:57. > :32:10.He is passing at the next height, 5.78.
:32:11. > :32:13.A little hiccup earlier on, first attempt.
:32:14. > :32:15.5.78 for the Olympic champion from London.
:32:16. > :32:16.A silver medallist, of course, in Rio.
:32:17. > :32:29.Can you believe he was on the podium in Rio in tears?
:32:30. > :32:30.Desperately bad behaviour by a small section
:32:31. > :32:45.How he would love to round off his season here with a fine performance,
:32:46. > :33:07.5.78, he cleared, and there, at 5.84.
:33:08. > :33:11.Throws the gauntlet down to the others.
:33:12. > :33:20.Thiago Braz da Silva is there, having passed at 5.78.
:33:21. > :33:28.Many thought he would take the Olympic title,
:33:29. > :33:43.but he had to settle for bronze in Rio.
:33:44. > :33:46.The Olympic bronze medallist in four.
:33:47. > :33:49.Hudson-Smith, Olympic finalist, he goes in sixth.
:33:50. > :34:02.Without much delay at all, they get under way.
:34:03. > :34:12.Oh, my word, that is Hudson-Smith who has pulled up in lane six.
:34:13. > :34:23.Also an aggressive run, from the champion in lane two.
:34:24. > :34:45.A nicely judged race by LaShawn Merritt.
:34:46. > :35:12.LaShawn Merritt wins for the fifth time here.
:35:13. > :35:19.He now has 50 points and is the undisputed Diamond Race
:35:20. > :35:26.Merritt doing enough there, of course, for him.
:35:27. > :35:33.This Diamond Race was pretty much wrapped up for him and he just
:35:34. > :35:41.Pride takes over when he's in a scrap here.
:35:42. > :35:46.Taplin's momentum looked like he would get there,
:35:47. > :35:50.but the last five minutes, he ran out of steam.
:35:51. > :36:10.He has been a little bit inconsistent tonight at the lower
:36:11. > :36:29.So, although he is cleared 5.84, he is in second place.
:36:30. > :36:34.He had two attempts at that height and Sam Kendricks had just one.
:36:35. > :36:39.The Olympic champion took a little while to get warmed up.
:36:40. > :36:58.Nothing to do with him, the booing of the crowd.
:36:59. > :37:07.He made the gesture on the screen, didn't he?
:37:08. > :37:16.It wasn't the most educated crowd at times
:37:17. > :37:30.Whilst the controversy around Caster Semenya rumbles on,
:37:31. > :37:32.there's no disputing her dominance in the 800 metres.
:37:33. > :37:35.Tonight's race is practically a rerun of the Olympic final.
:37:36. > :37:38.With all the finalists from Rio toeing the line again here.
:37:39. > :37:42.With the Olympic title claimed, a win here would secure the Diamond
:37:43. > :37:45.Race, but will she be looking to make a point
:37:46. > :38:15.They asked for a fast pace - 55 seconds.
:38:16. > :38:17.She leads the Diamond Race by two points.
:38:18. > :38:40.I don't think too many of the others are keen to tackle that.
:38:41. > :38:42.Selina Buchel has gone off quickest of the pack.
:38:43. > :38:49.A bit of a dilemma over the first 200 in an 800 with a big field.
:38:50. > :38:53.because if you don't go out hard inside three or four lanes,
:38:54. > :38:55.But Caster Semenya, uncharacteristically,
:38:56. > :39:08.Looks like she might be up for it here.
:39:09. > :39:10.Yes, she is meant to experienced the pacemaker.
:39:11. > :39:41.Semenya, if she comes back with a reasonable
:39:42. > :39:46.She's got them breathing down her neck now, Caster Semenya.
:39:47. > :39:48.The Olympic silver-medallist in second there.
:39:49. > :39:50.She's having the run of her life at the moment, Buchel.
:39:51. > :39:52.Remember that winning time in Rio?
:39:53. > :40:06.Getting away now around the outside, Niyonsaba.
:40:07. > :40:09.Staying out in front, very impressive.
:40:10. > :40:11.Caster Semenya is going to get it.
:40:12. > :40:20.The gap behind speaks volumes once again.
:40:21. > :40:27.Biship and Sharp and Sum and Buchel have run
:40:28. > :40:35.They were behind the big three from the top of the rostrum in Rio.
:40:36. > :40:47.She must have gone 26.5 and then start slowing down and then
:40:48. > :40:54.She wants a good, smooth 55, 55 and a half.
:40:55. > :41:10.She decided, right, I've saved enough.
:41:11. > :41:12.And the debate will continue around Caster Semenya.
:41:13. > :41:15.She will do what you say she can do, winning races and did
:41:16. > :41:19.For her, 2016 has been a fabulous year.
:41:20. > :41:25.A good run from the American, Grace, in fifth.
:41:26. > :41:38.Still to come, Kendra Harrison and Cindy Ofili in the women's
:41:39. > :41:55.The steeplechase with Ruth Jebet and the traditional women's
:41:56. > :42:03.In the pole vault, the Olympic champion, Thiago Braz, he's retired.
:42:04. > :42:05.That leaves just Renaud Lavillenie and Sam Kendricks.
:42:06. > :42:11.Sam Kendricks really taking it to Renaud Lavillenie here.
:42:12. > :42:22.He is quick and smooth and when he gets it right,
:42:23. > :42:34.He has had one or two bits of good fortune in the last couple of weeks
:42:35. > :42:47.No world champion tonight - he was a late withdrawal earlier
:42:48. > :42:57.So, he's looking to respond at 5.90, Renaud Lavillenie.
:42:58. > :43:09.And smiles, it's good to see that, because we did not see too much
:43:10. > :43:14.Attacking it, as he always does, great athleticism.
:43:15. > :43:33.We have highlights of the evening here.
:43:34. > :43:35.Harrison, the new world-record holder in lane five.
:43:36. > :43:46.Cindy Ofili only just missed out on a medal in Rio.
:43:47. > :44:08.Harrison, under a little bit of pressure here.
:44:09. > :44:19.Good running from Cindy Ofili, also finishing quick.
:44:20. > :44:26.The first hurdle, second hurdle, thinking, here we go,
:44:27. > :44:43.a pretty ordinary night at the office.
:44:44. > :44:49.She matched her for five or six flights.
:44:50. > :44:58.I think she has put a target on her back.
:44:59. > :45:00.They are thinking, if you can do it, I can, too.
:45:01. > :45:02.She is so quick between the barriers.
:45:03. > :45:07.Cindy Ofili closer to her than she has been
:45:08. > :45:13.Harrison getting the win, great season.
:45:14. > :45:17.But the major, major hole in August when she was not at Rio.
:45:18. > :45:24.A very good second place for Cindy Ofili just ahead.
:45:25. > :45:30.Finishing ahead of Jasmine Stowers in third.
:45:31. > :45:32.The pole vault is complete, Kendricks and Renaud
:45:33. > :45:44.They both cleared 5.90 at the second time of asking.
:45:45. > :45:49.I don't suppose he minds, he has that gold medal
:45:50. > :46:10.You can see the men lined up for the 100 metres.
:46:11. > :46:21.The Diamond Race leader, on 20 points, is Justin Gatlin.
:46:22. > :46:28.It is basically Meite versus Rodgers.
:46:29. > :46:58.Powell, very close to his season's best.
:46:59. > :47:07.Jamaica won the last six editions of the 100, and now it is seven
:47:08. > :47:21.Number 97 in terms of legal sub-ten-second clockings.
:47:22. > :47:24.No Justin Gatlin, who has won a couple of Diamond Leagues.
:47:25. > :47:31.Gatlin and one or two others not here, so it was up for grabs.
:47:32. > :47:46.26-24 between Powell and Meite, tough to take.
:47:47. > :47:56.A busy night in the field in the high jump.
:47:57. > :48:06.An event which hasn't been at its best this year.
:48:07. > :48:20.Kind of continuing what has been a pretty solid year for her.
:48:21. > :48:24.She cleared 1.94 earlier in the season.
:48:25. > :48:44.Tonight is an indication of what has gone on all season.
:48:45. > :48:57.and has pretty much had the competition all to herself.
:48:58. > :49:02.She was miles ahead in the Diamond Race.
:49:03. > :49:05.She decided to put the bar up to over two metres
:49:06. > :49:10.to have a bit of a go, but it was not to be.
:49:11. > :49:27.-- you would not say it was high, but she doesn't mind.
:49:28. > :49:31.The Diamond Race winner, a great year for the Spaniard.
:49:32. > :49:39.On the track, it is the men's 400 metres hurdles.
:49:40. > :49:42.We had a late withdrawal, the world champion who has been
:49:43. > :49:59.Clement is pretty sure, unless something befalls him here.
:50:00. > :50:14.Watch for Javier Culson getting away.
:50:15. > :50:15.Outside, Clement, Hussein, they are very quickly
:50:16. > :50:31.It is Javier Culson, trying to chase down Kerron Clement.
:50:32. > :50:35.This looks, as we head into the home straight, like the local is giving
:50:36. > :50:42.Clement has to hold off Javier Culson.
:50:43. > :51:04.Javier Culson suddenly thought, I have got a chance here.
:51:05. > :51:09.Hussein was being cheered on by the crowd then fell apart.
:51:10. > :51:11.Then through the melee, Clement woke up and came
:51:12. > :51:21.Clement finishes strongly, which is critical.
:51:22. > :51:23.Look at Clement - brilliant determination,
:51:24. > :51:33.He takes it eventually fairly comfortably.
:51:34. > :51:35.Clement, then, with those 20 points in the end,
:51:36. > :51:54.extending his lead over Javier Culson.
:51:55. > :51:59.This season, Ruth Jebet became only the second woman to break
:52:00. > :52:04.the nine-minute barrier in the 3000 metres steeplechase.
:52:05. > :52:08.She went on to be Olympic champion in Rio, and last week in Paris,
:52:09. > :52:11.The only prize left is the Diamond Trophy,
:52:12. > :52:14.but to win that, she will have to beat the world champion
:52:15. > :52:36.Ten Rio finalists going in this event.
:52:37. > :52:53.Hyvin Kiyeng was the silver medallist.
:52:54. > :52:57.Some athletes have just looked a little tired this evening.
:52:58. > :53:17.Some really good athletes out there tonight.
:53:18. > :53:19.Quigley reaching new ground in Paris, though only 9th.
:53:20. > :53:28.She had a frustrating time, the American, at the US trials,
:53:29. > :53:33.She was so close to a place in the Rio squad, the legs
:53:34. > :53:35.going from under her on the home straight.
:53:36. > :53:47.One gets the feeling that the world record-holder Jebet
:53:48. > :53:52.run of the season was played out in Paris.
:53:53. > :53:56.Thomas Rohler, he will never forget 2016, will he?
:53:57. > :53:58.The new Olympic champion, the first that Germany have had
:53:59. > :54:24.A big first-round throw from Thomas Rohler.
:54:25. > :54:30.In the hotel in Rio, the big former East German thrower
:54:31. > :54:41.I am sure he was enjoying watching Thomas Rohler win.
:54:42. > :54:56.The opening throw took some catching, but the Czech managed
:54:57. > :55:25.He was ninth in Rio, through well in Paris
:55:26. > :55:40.He was close to his personal best in Paris, this
:55:41. > :55:49.That was good enough for third place.
:55:50. > :55:54.Confirmation of the win for Jakub Vadlejch.
:55:55. > :56:04.The Olympic champion settled for second on this occasion.
:56:05. > :56:08.Ruth Jebet now, she won't get the world record, that's for sure.
:56:09. > :56:18.She has a lead of about 15 metres on Hyvin Kiyeng,
:56:19. > :56:21.who must be getting sick of the sight of her former
:56:22. > :56:29.Emma Coburn moves into fourth place, as you can see,
:56:30. > :56:35.It is Chepkoech in the sights of the American.
:56:36. > :56:40.She has mixed it so well, race after race, with the Kenyans
:56:41. > :56:43.and the best of the rest over these last few weeks.
:56:44. > :56:55.By contrast, the bizarre thing about the Kenyan runners
:56:56. > :57:00.and the Bahraini, Ruth Jebet, is that they have not worked
:57:01. > :57:06.Common sense tells you that they could go better over the barriers
:57:07. > :57:18.There are a lot of women who would like to run
:57:19. > :57:21.Nine minutes is considered international standard
:57:22. > :57:24.If you get below 8.50, you can win races.
:57:25. > :57:30.She comes round to take the bell now.
:57:31. > :57:32.She is ahead of everybody in a general sense
:57:33. > :57:39.I think I agree, she must, at some point, be able to go
:57:40. > :57:46.Ruth Jebet, into the final lap with just over 300 metres to run.
:57:47. > :57:52.This, to round off the most astonishing season from her.
:57:53. > :58:06.Having a glance at the big screen to check the gap behind her.
:58:07. > :58:10.Emma Coburn has moved into third place.
:58:11. > :58:17.She's working hard with 250 metres to go.
:58:18. > :58:19.Ruth Jebet, accelerating into the final water
:58:20. > :58:32.Her first big title was the Asian Games title two years ago.
:58:33. > :58:35.Now she is Olympic champion, world record-holder,
:58:36. > :58:47.and after a run of this calibre, she will be the Diamond Race holder.
:58:48. > :58:58.Kiyeng in second, Chepkoech in third.
:58:59. > :59:00.After the exploits of last week in Paris, it was billed
:59:01. > :59:12.You can understand the meeting promoters for doing that.
:59:13. > :59:15.But I am sure that Ruth Jebet was thinking, my goodness,
:59:16. > :59:19.She picked her time to run away, and then enjoyed a little jog
:59:20. > :59:43.The second round of the men's triple jump.
:59:44. > :59:52.Not one of the taller triple jumpers.
:59:53. > :00:04.A small improvement by two centimetres for Carter.
:00:05. > :00:15.Christian Taylor, his big jump coming in round two.
:00:16. > :00:35.He is, let's not forget, the second longest jumper in history.
:00:36. > :00:39.Last, the world title in Beijing, he came very close, within three
:00:40. > :00:50.That's the smile we are used to seeing, back in full force.
:00:51. > :01:00.Despite that right elbow in the sand, in the sixth and final
:01:01. > :01:16.Christian Taylor all smiles at the end of this.
:01:17. > :01:18.They like that tradition in Switzerland in the zero
:01:19. > :01:20.and traditionally we finish with the 4x100 relay,
:01:21. > :01:28.They did exactly the same in Rio, took them to the gold medal.
:01:29. > :01:35.With Elaine Thompson down the back straight.
:01:36. > :01:50.Tianna Bartoletta trying to run down the Jamaican team.
:01:51. > :01:55.Already opened up a big gap on Germany.
:01:56. > :02:03.Jamaica in the lead with Elaine Thompson.
:02:04. > :02:10.It's all gone horribly wrong for the USA.
:02:11. > :02:33.Veronica Campbell-Brown only had to run in a straight
:02:34. > :02:36.line, which he does not always manage to do,
:02:37. > :02:40.However. 41.65, not bad at all.
:02:41. > :02:43.Plenty of national teams would love to run that quick, goodness me.
:02:44. > :02:45.I don't know what happened to the USA.
:02:46. > :03:00.She went off too early and there was no way
:03:01. > :03:08.It's been one of those nights, hasn't it?
:03:09. > :03:10.Lots of big names winning coming through to win the Diamond Race
:03:11. > :03:41.The Diamond League return for the last time this season.
:03:42. > :03:45.That's followed on BBC One by the Great City Games at 2:15pm
:03:46. > :03:47.and then on Sunday, the Great North Run,
:03:48. > :03:56.It was definitely a slight feeling of after the Lord
:03:57. > :04:00.as many of the big-name enough to head off on their holidays,
:04:01. > :04:02.not producing to make eye-catching performances.
:04:03. > :04:04.It was a foregone conclusion for some, it certainly wasn't
:04:05. > :04:13.Despite a dip in Rio, her season took one final test
:04:14. > :04:24.She watched incredulously as Shannon Rowbury won.
:04:25. > :04:29.She's still ended up as the Diamond Race winner.
:04:30. > :04:30.A lovely reward for brilliant season.
:04:31. > :04:32.A wild card entry to the World Championships
:04:33. > :04:40.Join us next week when the remaining Diamond Races will be
