:00:53. > :01:02.That is the moment where you realise you are by many champions, 2017.
:01:03. > :01:10.The biggest win of his young career, CJ Ujah.
:01:11. > :01:20.It's going to be mighty fast! Was something else!
:01:21. > :01:32.Dominant tonight, a season, I guess, of what might have been.
:01:33. > :01:40.They throw themselves at his feet. What a way to end!
:01:41. > :01:48.A great night of action in zero last week with 16 Diamond League titles
:01:49. > :01:54.handed out following some truly physical petition. The focus shifts
:01:55. > :01:57.to Brussels, the Belgian capital a thrilling climax to the athletics
:01:58. > :02:03.season, featuring big names and world champions galore.
:02:04. > :02:08.Great jump for Christian Taylor. It's Guliyev! Amos coming away and
:02:09. > :02:15.looking good, he is going to take the victory here! Look at that.
:02:16. > :02:25.Reese has produced a beautiful jump. She wins it! Sprinting home.
:02:26. > :02:34.Plenty of stars on show hoping to claim one of the 16 remaining
:02:35. > :02:40.Diamond League trophies up for grabs. It's the 41st edition of the
:02:41. > :02:45.meeting, and watching it for us are Stuart Storey and Tim Hutchings.
:02:46. > :02:52.COMMENTATOR: A very good race indeed. This is Jenni Russell of
:02:53. > :03:00.Jamaica, 23. She was seventh in the Olympic final in Rio, fifth in
:03:01. > :03:05.Beijing in 2015. She has the outside lane, and they will chase her all
:03:06. > :03:11.the way. They note her well, she coming back to form, her last two
:03:12. > :03:19.races. She look confident in her last race, 54.13, a week ago.
:03:20. > :03:28.The Olympic champion, twice World Championship silver-medallist, what
:03:29. > :03:33.about Ashley Spencer? Also lobby United States, fourth at the US
:03:34. > :03:36.trials, 53.1, didn't get in the team.
:03:37. > :03:44.Eilidh Doyle silver-medallist in the relay.
:03:45. > :03:53.Now, Pedersen, Doyle, Spencer, Mohammed, and Russell.
:03:54. > :03:59.The women's 400-metre hurdles. Eilidh Doyle is captain of the
:04:00. > :04:12.British team. Mohammed has gone off very quickly,
:04:13. > :04:15.very strong in the final stages, Russell on the outside going well,
:04:16. > :04:21.too. Doyle going well. Spencer losing ground, Mohammed flying down
:04:22. > :04:30.to 200 metres. Look at that. When you look outside, Mohammed is
:04:31. > :04:38.leading. Russell on the outside going beautifully as they approached
:04:39. > :04:48.300 metres. Mohammed is leading. Russell giving way at this
:04:49. > :04:53.particular point. Hejnova has real strength in the final stages, can
:04:54. > :05:02.she do it here again? It looks as though she is. Spencer in third
:05:03. > :05:11.place, Hejnova in second, a very good race, 53.9 one. That really
:05:12. > :05:14.went to the script, the Olympic champion and American champion, the
:05:15. > :05:18.fastest in the world this year, gets her diamond on her final occasion in
:05:19. > :05:28.Brussels. A very good race. Last evening in the heart of the
:05:29. > :05:29.City was the venue for what proved to be an enthralling shot put
:05:30. > :05:41.competition. The Olympic champion, Bryan Krause
:05:42. > :05:45.opening up with 20 to 37. The man that won the Olympic title,
:05:46. > :05:49.disappointing in the world, but this man, who would have expected Darrell
:05:50. > :05:53.Hill the United States to beat the last three world champions, the
:05:54. > :05:58.Olympic world Champion? He came here with a personal best and went away
:05:59. > :06:04.with 22.4 four. An astonishing piece of putting from Darryl Hill.
:06:05. > :06:05.Everyone was there, all the talent was there and he prevailed against
:06:06. > :06:16.all the odds. We go over to the long jump
:06:17. > :06:28.competition in the stadium, as we speak. Lorraine Ugen of Great
:06:29. > :06:30.Britain with 6.49, two times a World Championship finalist, finishing
:06:31. > :06:34.fifth at the World Champion and in London. The 26-year-old Briton
:06:35. > :06:40.absolutely perfect there on the board, Ugen. A second-round effort,
:06:41. > :07:03.six metres 60 centimetres. She finished a frustrating fourth
:07:04. > :07:09.three weeks back at those World Championships, 6.39 her effort, that
:07:10. > :07:17.was six metres 62, taking a centimetre lead over Eugen. -- Ugen.
:07:18. > :07:20.Bartoletta is a big sprinter and long jumper.
:07:21. > :07:34.Very, very quick. Lovely little hang, very basic, gets
:07:35. > :07:40.forward, gets some forward rotation. Now, 6.63, and she takes the lead
:07:41. > :07:45.over Spanovic and Ugen. It is the women's 5000 metres, the
:07:46. > :07:49.next event on the track. The reigning world champion from London,
:07:50. > :07:52.silver-medallist in Rio last year, she has had a fabulous season
:07:53. > :08:17.Okagbare-Ighoteguonor. Obiri, will she go with the
:08:18. > :08:19.pacemakers? 14.25 pace, once you get down towards 14.20, you are in
:08:20. > :08:34.rarefied territory indeed. It is the tail end of the season in
:08:35. > :08:36.many respects, and there are some tired athletes running, jumping and
:08:37. > :08:44.thrumming, but some fabulous clashes. Can anyone threaten Obiri
:08:45. > :08:51.tonight? She has looked supreme, the former world indoor champion at
:08:52. > :08:58.3000. An athlete who looked fabulous winning the 5000 metres in London.
:08:59. > :09:10.The long jump once again. Absolutely... Well, that was pretty
:09:11. > :09:16.good, wasn't it come from Saunders. She got the white flag. It was a bit
:09:17. > :09:27.delayed but she got it. Let's see where that puts her. She hits the
:09:28. > :09:33.board, there. Very basic technique. 6.64 her best bus far, moving her
:09:34. > :09:38.into the lead. She is competing well. Lorraine Ugen of Britain, she
:09:39. > :09:49.really does have the talent. She is a 6.92 competitor at her very best.
:09:50. > :10:04.This season, at fifth in the long jump World Champion Championship.
:10:05. > :10:09.Prydie consistent, outside the medal positions, falls back a bit on that.
:10:10. > :10:22.I wonder, that could move her up a little bit. 6.65, it does move her
:10:23. > :10:27.up. Second place. Spanovic, then. Spanovic of Serbia, keeping her
:10:28. > :10:35.tracksuit bottoms on. She doesn't want a muscle poll.
:10:36. > :10:43.6.70 takes her to the top, I would think. Yes, it does from Ugen and
:10:44. > :11:00.Saunders, in that order. Nine laps to go in the 5000 metres, a
:11:01. > :11:07.Personal best of 3000 in Birmingham a couple of weeks back, a personal
:11:08. > :11:15.best last week in the 15,000 metres over in Berlin. Oh, dear. Look,
:11:16. > :11:23.there. There is a fall in the middle of the pack, trying to see who that
:11:24. > :11:27.was. McColgan managing to avoid her. They are not going particularly
:11:28. > :11:40.quickly. The first kilometre, 2.55, no significant acceleration here. At
:11:41. > :11:44.the back of the group now, about 20 metres off the back of the real
:11:45. > :11:59.race, isn't she. She has time to get back, eight laps to run.
:12:00. > :12:09.McColgan has latched herself onto the back of that group.
:12:10. > :12:19.The discus now, second pro, 60.1 for now. Not the World Champion we saw
:12:20. > :12:25.in 2015, a couple of times in the big games last year, and in 2008,
:12:26. > :12:32.superb at his best. We haven't seen that just yet but it looks over 65.
:12:33. > :12:42.Certainly beyond 65, which would threaten the lead, that's for sure.
:12:43. > :12:46.Gudzius next to go. Gudzius the World Champion from Lithuania in
:12:47. > :12:54.London. World junior champion back in 2010. Had to wait seven years to
:12:55. > :12:55.add this senior title. Gudzius producing at the World Championships
:12:56. > :13:09.a lifetime best. Opening with 65 .4 three. He likes
:13:10. > :13:18.that. He thinks he hit that pretty well. 66.70 is an improvement and
:13:19. > :13:23.puts him in the lead. We are down to two now, and in fact,
:13:24. > :13:32.Hellen Obiri has been overtaken with two laps to run by Kip Corroon.
:13:33. > :13:40.Hellen Obiri gestured through a lap or two back and is happy to go into
:13:41. > :13:46.the last couple of laps on the shoulder of someone where she can
:13:47. > :13:50.unleash the renowned kick of hers. As I say that with a lap and three
:13:51. > :13:57.quarters to go, the pace slackening, maybe, hitting ball of front once
:13:58. > :14:01.more. The was relatively slow over 2.56, which makes it the slowest of
:14:02. > :14:15.the race. The third quarter was 2.5 one. Hellen Obiri with a lap to run
:14:16. > :14:24.and is very much in control. She wasn't at the World Championships.
:14:25. > :14:29.Plenty of experience but I'm afraid, with 500 metres left to run, it
:14:30. > :14:32.would be extraordinary if she were to outsprint Hellen Obiri, the
:14:33. > :14:37.outstanding 5,000-metre runner of this 2017 season over this final
:14:38. > :14:44.lap. They come towards the bell. Hellen Obiri has toyed with the
:14:45. > :14:48.opposition now, gradually working the middle section of the race to
:14:49. > :14:56.whittle down the pack of ten or 12 to six, then three, and now two. She
:14:57. > :14:57.has masterminded the dimension of a very strong field in the diamond
:14:58. > :15:11.lead finals in Brussels. She may not have experienced this
:15:12. > :15:25.too many times in the past. It has been a fabulous run. The gap at the
:15:26. > :15:38.moment is worth $30,000. The gap grows to five metres. The crowd are
:15:39. > :15:55.brought to their feet. Sprint for third place. She has worked
:15:56. > :16:07.miracles. What might have been. Overcame a huge handicap early in
:16:08. > :16:12.the race. Still rallied so well. That is Obiri. A few weeks back she
:16:13. > :16:19.would look very comfortable running at a steady temple. Tonight, after a
:16:20. > :16:25.long hard season, it has got drier and a drier. Thank goodness she had
:16:26. > :16:38.one last great performance in her. It is a mighty quick time. It was a
:16:39. > :16:45.very fast couple of laps. Very quick indeed. Obiri showed the sort of
:16:46. > :16:51.spirit she showed in the World Championships. Truly a magnificent
:16:52. > :17:01.performance. On the seasons she has been very classy indeed. It was a
:17:02. > :17:26.personal best by Kipkirui. Here is the world champion,
:17:27. > :17:36.Lasitskene. Neutral in these circumstances. No trouble at all.
:17:37. > :17:48.The first athlete to go clear first time.
:17:49. > :17:53.Maintains the perfect card does Lasitskene in a truly dominant
:17:54. > :18:08.season. Thiam won the world athletic
:18:09. > :18:18.Championship in front of a home crowd. An important jump for her.
:18:19. > :18:23.She had two attempts at 1.8. This is not per night so far. Well down the
:18:24. > :18:35.field. She will need to go really had if she's going to compete.
:18:36. > :18:47.Sebastian Coe, there. Has given up for the next event. In 2012, this is
:18:48. > :18:59.the race in which they broke the world record.
:19:00. > :19:16.This is Brathwaite, very tall fellow and very powerful. Devon Allen is in
:19:17. > :19:27.lane three. Neutral athletes, Shubenkov. Here is the man. The
:19:28. > :19:30.world record holder. Did not prevail in the World Championships. This guy
:19:31. > :20:07.is not as powerful as I expected. Alan going well and Shubenkov coming
:20:08. > :20:16.through strongly. I think Ortega. Second. That is 13.1 six. Shubenkov,
:20:17. > :20:35.once again, reveals. Very successful athlete. Twice, European champion.
:20:36. > :20:49.Absolutely superb. Second in London. A good race. This young fellow, Rush
:20:50. > :20:56.who runs as a neutral athlete. He got a good start. It looked as
:20:57. > :21:08.though Shubenkov had a lot of work to do. He keeps coming and pecking
:21:09. > :21:19.away at you. Shubenkov worked so hard to get back to him. Good
:21:20. > :21:38.running. That is some payday for him. It is a consolation for losing.
:21:39. > :21:50.That rounds off a superb season. Not quick but it was creditable.
:21:51. > :22:04.He has the lead. That came in the second round. That is big and it is
:22:05. > :22:11.better. He's hit that really well. He knows he's in the zone, throwing
:22:12. > :22:22.so well. He started his season perfectly. He knows it is a big one.
:22:23. > :22:24.Improves his lead. This is turning into a dominant series from the big
:22:25. > :22:47.fellow. Real powerhouse from Levchenko. It
:22:48. > :23:00.is a personal best. It was set in the World Championships in London.
:23:01. > :23:15.It has not been a smooth season for her so far. That is her exiting the
:23:16. > :23:22.competition. She is producing a lifetime best, during the
:23:23. > :23:32.multi-event competition. You get the distinct impression that she really
:23:33. > :23:38.isn't quite focused, they are desperately draining, the
:23:39. > :23:49.multi-event competition is, she is entitled to be more tired than
:23:50. > :23:57.others. The discus competition was won by the peerless Perkovic. She is
:23:58. > :24:12.arguably the most dominant force in female track and field. Still to
:24:13. > :24:19.come... Will it be six in a row? Can Jager break the dominance in the
:24:20. > :24:28.steeplechase? The British sprint duo race in the 200 metres.
:24:29. > :24:45.Can get you -- can Kipyegon do it in the 1500 metres. And Thompson, in
:24:46. > :24:54.the 100 metre final. Head-to-head with Talou. The women's 400 metres
:24:55. > :25:00.is the next event on the track. The second diamond lead in -- diamond
:25:01. > :25:00.league meeting full. There have been five different winners. Natasha
:25:01. > :25:17.Hastings goes in whole number nine. There is Williams-Mills. Very
:25:18. > :25:27.experienced, she was eighth in London. The last meeting was one by
:25:28. > :25:43.one Caster Semenya, would you believe. Miller-Uibo of the Bahamas.
:25:44. > :25:56.Naser, a real surprise packet. She was a silver medallist. MacPherson,
:25:57. > :25:59.world champion at the 400 metres. There are five finalists from the
:26:00. > :26:22.London World Championships. Natasha Hastings goes hard. Loves to
:26:23. > :26:30.commit. This is her first individual 400 since Morocco. Very quickly
:26:31. > :26:33.away, Miller-Uibo of the Bahamas in lane seven. The tall straight has
:26:34. > :26:46.carried her past Williams-Mills. Moving well and going quicker than
:26:47. > :26:54.Miller-Uibo already... This will be a heck of a run. She can take this
:26:55. > :26:58.with 100 metres to run. Miller-Uibo recognises the danger and lengthens
:26:59. > :27:05.her stride and eases away in the last 70. Look at the gap behind
:27:06. > :27:14.them! What that from Miller-Uibo! It is the fastest time in the world
:27:15. > :27:16.this year. The challenge came from her opponent, dwarfed by the long
:27:17. > :27:20.legs of Miller-Uibo. A brilliant run from the Olympic champion full. She
:27:21. > :27:30.was so disappointed to finish off the rostrum. She won in 2015, she
:27:31. > :27:37.wins again tonight with a top-notch time. I will tell you what, Naser in
:27:38. > :27:41.second place as set a national record and goes under 50 for the
:27:42. > :27:48.first time. She broke the national record in every round, did Naser.
:27:49. > :27:55.What a talent she is. She really attacked and believed but when you
:27:56. > :28:02.consider that Miller-Uibo had run 21.88 in Zurich, she is very quick
:28:03. > :28:10.indeed. We know her pedigree. That was a stunning race at the very fine
:28:11. > :28:16.performance. Very satisfying end to a season that was pockmarked with
:28:17. > :28:24.some disappointments. That's like failure, by her standards. This is
:28:25. > :28:42.well within her comfort. It is the business end now. She's
:28:43. > :28:52.approaching the two metre mark which she has cleared on so many occasions
:28:53. > :29:03.this season. Her main opposition may well be Levchenko of the Ukraine.
:29:04. > :29:20.You got all three. Gold, silver and bronze. Nice, just flipped. Two
:29:21. > :29:32.clear. Leading by virtue of a first-time clearance. The main flood
:29:33. > :29:44.lights are out. We have a power problem. What a race this should be.
:29:45. > :29:51.Had a little bit of a blip in the other part of the season. Prevailed
:29:52. > :30:00.when it mattered. He is going well. The Moroccan had a great run.
:30:01. > :30:03.Seasons best of 8.0 five. And Jager, we thought he was in a great
:30:04. > :30:06.position to win the world title, he got the bronze in the London World
:30:07. > :30:15.Championships and he's the one who is not afraid to attack.
:30:16. > :30:26.Eight Minutes Is The Target. If They Go With The Pace, Two Pacemakers,
:30:27. > :30:45.they will get to the front. Jager moving into third place. I
:30:46. > :30:46.have to say, this is looking business like. They have gone off
:30:47. > :30:59.very quickly indeed. Perfect up to and including one
:31:00. > :31:09.metre 94. A second attempt at 1.9 seven. She goes clear. Levchenko and
:31:10. > :31:15.she the only two left in it. That is an indication there is plenty more
:31:16. > :31:19.to come from her. Let's look now, it has calmed down a
:31:20. > :31:24.little bit here. It slowed down a little bit. We will find out as they
:31:25. > :31:31.go through with five laps to go. We are looking... they have slowed
:31:32. > :31:38.down, the last 400 metres, the last lap has slowed. 2.4 zero. Still very
:31:39. > :31:52.quick, about 7.57, maintaining that pace and Kip -- Kipruto is there. He
:31:53. > :31:59.will compete. Lovely technician. The pacemaker is still there. 7.55 was
:32:00. > :32:04.the target and they are sticking to it. Levchenko, then. She has had two
:32:05. > :32:14.failures at 1.5 seven. No point in her having a third
:32:15. > :32:22.attempt because she would stay in front of her. She has riskily passed
:32:23. > :32:28.her third attempt to 1.9 seven. She didn't have any choice. Attempting
:32:29. > :32:38.1.9 nine. If she clears this, it will be quite spectacular. No, no...
:32:39. > :32:45.she went for it. Not a bad effort she finishes in second. Lasitskene
:32:46. > :32:49.as has been the case again and again this summer, is the winner tonight
:32:50. > :32:57.and is the Diamond League champion of 2017.
:32:58. > :33:14.Kipruto in second place. When you look at this, the American runner,
:33:15. > :33:24.27, 8.08 in Monaco this year. He is in contention as well. Jager, well,
:33:25. > :33:29.he is the man with the confidence, I have said it several times, he is
:33:30. > :33:34.not afraid to compete in the event. The Kenyans have dominated this
:33:35. > :33:50.event year after year. Kipruto winning the world title, Jager has
:33:51. > :33:58.taken the lead after an open of 2.40, which promised much. We
:33:59. > :34:03.mustn't forget that Kipruto has fabulous finishing speed. He is very
:34:04. > :34:07.confident. Talking to his agent, he knows he can outsprint anyone when
:34:08. > :34:15.it comes down to it in the last couple of metres. Jager is strong
:34:16. > :34:21.but doesn't have the same change of pace as the Kenyan in second place.
:34:22. > :34:24.You are quite right. It was a slow phase of the race that took them
:34:25. > :34:39.outside eight minutes. They have to get a rush on. Jager has established
:34:40. > :34:43.the race. They are well strung out once again as they come round. They
:34:44. > :34:57.will hear the bell, that is for sure. Bakkali going past Kipruto,
:34:58. > :35:09.7.03, to go with one lap. One circuit to go. Bakkali Opera Marco
:35:10. > :35:15.-- of Morocco. Jager it in third. They go down the back straight for
:35:16. > :35:19.the last time. Has Kipruto got the speed, the pace? The Olympic
:35:20. > :35:23.champion, the World Champion in second place. Jager is spent, he is
:35:24. > :35:28.way down in the final stages and has had to let go. He tried to take the
:35:29. > :35:33.race and get it into sub eight minutes territory, hasn't managed to
:35:34. > :35:36.do that. Look at this, Bakkali and the World Champion behind him, the
:35:37. > :35:43.Olympic champion, the world silver-medallist in the moment in
:35:44. > :35:48.the lead with 100 metres to go. Jager crash into the water losing 20
:35:49. > :35:58.metres. Bakkali will take this from Kipruto. Kipruto going for the
:35:59. > :36:06.spring, has he got enough? He has! What a last 50 metres! That was some
:36:07. > :36:11.race at the time! 8.04. It promised far more than that. Jager did have a
:36:12. > :36:17.problem at the last water jump, clearly, he was suffering
:36:18. > :36:20.considerably. Kipruto did not want to go, the Olympic champion, the
:36:21. > :36:25.World Champion, wanted the diamond and he has got it. Jager do well to
:36:26. > :36:28.get up and hang on for thought. You can't make up his mind whether to
:36:29. > :36:34.clear the barrier without touching it, or not. He never does that,
:36:35. > :36:38.Jager. He tried to copy Kipruto in front of him, trying to clear the
:36:39. > :36:44.hurdle and wasn't prepared for the landing. This is Bakkali sprinting
:36:45. > :36:47.for the tape. He thinks he has the $50,000 sorted out, no time to
:36:48. > :36:53.respond when someone comes past you with three or four strides out. One
:36:54. > :36:59.of the strangest finishes I have seen. A personal best for Bakkali.
:37:00. > :37:05.It went just as it did in the World Championships.
:37:06. > :37:19.The men's triple jump, here is the Cuban, opening with 16 .8 seven.
:37:20. > :37:25.Fabulous, two brilliant phases and a superb final phase into the sand. He
:37:26. > :37:28.knows that was good, Pichardo. They have that feel for it, they know as
:37:29. > :37:36.they are performing it that it has gone right. 16.87, his opener, very
:37:37. > :37:47.little breeze out there. There it is. 17.32 to take the lead. Here is
:37:48. > :37:55.Christian Taylor, then. Opened with 16.5 one. Saw that bettered by
:37:56. > :38:02.several people. Second round for Taylor. That's much better. That is
:38:03. > :38:07.much better. We saw Pichardo, 17.32, the Cuban. It is not good enough. He
:38:08. > :38:10.doesn't look happy. It was better than his opener, which was
:38:11. > :38:20.incredibly modest by his standards. Look at those gold spikes, makes me
:38:21. > :38:28.envious! 17.18, down on Pichardo, he has defined 14 centimetres from
:38:29. > :38:33.somewhere. -- has two fine. Third and final attempt at two
:38:34. > :38:42.metres and two centimetres. She has won the competition, she won it at
:38:43. > :38:47.1.9 seven. Two metres and this is sensational stuff. Third and final
:38:48. > :38:54.attempt, she has got it. How many times has she been over two metres
:38:55. > :38:59.this season? Totally dominant and that is terrific. Absolutely superb.
:39:00. > :39:07.She has the competition won. The men's 200 metres next. Noah
:39:08. > :39:11.Lyles of the United States, only 20, a young man. We saw him win a race
:39:12. > :39:16.early on this season. They think he will be the next big man, winning
:39:17. > :39:26.the indoor record in March of this year. Christophe Lemaitre of France,
:39:27. > :39:37.four-time European champion, he has been there or thereabouts.
:39:38. > :39:38.Mitchell-Blake held off the competition in a fabulous run in the
:39:39. > :39:52.relay. Here is the World Champion, Ramil
:39:53. > :40:01.Guliyev of Turkey. Eighth in the Olympics, but my goodness me, won
:40:02. > :40:14.the world title well. Zharnel Hughes of Great Britain.
:40:15. > :40:21.The Metro got off quickly on the outside, second from the outside.
:40:22. > :40:26.Webb going well of the United States outside Guliyev as they come into
:40:27. > :40:31.the streets now. Very strong indeed. It looks like Ameer Webb at the
:40:32. > :40:35.moment, and on the outside, Lyle is going strongly. Does Liles get in?
:40:36. > :40:42.It was very close between him and Ameer Webb. The young American on
:40:43. > :40:46.the outside, I wonder if he did get that. That was very close. It is a
:40:47. > :40:55.photo finish between the first three, Guliyev, Liles come and Liles
:40:56. > :40:57.has been given it. 20 seconds dead. His home straight, fabulous. His
:40:58. > :41:05.transition into the home straight was sensational. Extreme left
:41:06. > :41:11.picture, I saw the 300 metres indoor record, he was impressive. Great
:41:12. > :41:15.strength, and that is what he uses over the last 10-15 strides. Real
:41:16. > :41:20.presence of mind. He has all the makings of a future champion.
:41:21. > :41:42.The disc is now. Big fella. Sixth and final round. Around 66 saving
:41:43. > :41:47.the best for last. Gudzius is so strong throughout. A fabulous series
:41:48. > :41:53.from him and his best coming in the third round, 68.16 to take the
:41:54. > :41:58.Diamond League title in 2017. It is time for the 1500 metres, the
:41:59. > :42:01.pacemaker of choice on the circuit, Jenny Meadows, making a last
:42:02. > :42:05.appearance here tonight. A great champion at 800 metres a few years
:42:06. > :42:28.back. Jenny Simpson is a real banker.
:42:29. > :42:33.World Championship silver-medallist. Such is the calibre of the field,
:42:34. > :42:41.eight finalists from the World Championships.
:42:42. > :43:01.Away they go. On the inside, Jenny Meadows takes them out there over
:43:02. > :43:13.the first 150, a good, healthy tempo. A very quick pace.
:43:14. > :43:24.That is about 3.56 tempo for the full distance, the second pacemaker
:43:25. > :43:31.will try to take them to 1038. Hassan under the coaching of Alberto
:43:32. > :43:35.Salazar, a really aggressive racer, I like how she runs. She tries to
:43:36. > :43:40.win her races. She doesn't try to copper mines and go for a lower
:43:41. > :43:46.middle. She is in fabulous form. A personal best in Monaco in the
:43:47. > :43:53.summer, and a big personal best in Birmingham over 3000 two weeks back.
:43:54. > :44:03.Hassan has been shadowed by the World Champion at 1500 metres, in
:44:04. > :44:08.fourth. The way they are strung out, you can clearly say, as you said,
:44:09. > :44:12.they have gone off quickly. The schedule they were looking for was
:44:13. > :44:16.3.5 seven. It is possible here, we will give you some idea of what
:44:17. > :44:23.speed they are going at as they go through the finish. Kipyegon in
:44:24. > :44:28.second place in the race proper on the shoulder of Hassan, who did so
:44:29. > :44:37.well in the 5000 metres in the World Championships. That is on schedule
:44:38. > :44:42.for 3.57 if they can maintain that pace. The third lap will be crucial
:44:43. > :44:48.in any attempt at a fast time, of course.
:44:49. > :45:01.Meadows websites for the first 400. They are 207.3 nine. It is not
:45:02. > :45:08.ideal. It means the second lap was slower, the first lap was very
:45:09. > :45:14.ambitious. The next section, these 300 metres, and the big four are
:45:15. > :45:17.away. The Olympic champion in third place has two pacemakers in front of
:45:18. > :45:26.her. In the league is the official pacemaker. Hassan in second place
:45:27. > :45:32.will need to take this on. She knows that the Olympic champion has a
:45:33. > :45:38.devastating final finish. When Tuai moves aside, Hassan needs to go
:45:39. > :45:50.hard. They are approaching the bell. 2.50 five. They will make up a
:45:51. > :45:54.little bit on the last lap. The big three are putting the pressure on
:45:55. > :45:58.them. This is where the race will be won or lost. Who will take it on? It
:45:59. > :46:09.looks as though Kipyegon has the confidence. Hassan is holding on. We
:46:10. > :46:16.are down to two now. A little glance over her shoulder. This is the body
:46:17. > :46:24.language of the Olympic champion. Anything you can do, I can do.
:46:25. > :46:34.Almost contemptuous. A metre or two extra round the bend. Has she got
:46:35. > :46:37.another gear? The battle continues. Challenging for second place as
:46:38. > :46:48.Kipyegon eases past. She really worked for this one. Punches the
:46:49. > :46:54.air. The winning time, 3.57 .0 seven.
:46:55. > :47:06.Kipyegon is a very worthy world champion from London.
:47:07. > :47:14.My word, she fooled everybody. She took the gold medal with a fabulous
:47:15. > :47:26.surge. She's just run five seconds quicker. I can tell you that the
:47:27. > :47:37.other athletes, nobody else did break four minutes. Look at this
:47:38. > :47:47.finish from Kipyegon. Hassan threw everything at it. Kipyegon is the
:47:48. > :48:11.champion, of some considerable merit. She has been there before.
:48:12. > :48:20.That was no trouble at all. Put the pressure on your opponents.
:48:21. > :48:34.Second time of asking, Newman! Absolutely brilliant. That equals
:48:35. > :48:37.her lifetime best. Stephanie is tough to beat. She says today she is
:48:38. > :48:46.capable of five metres and vault after vault, she demonstrates such
:48:47. > :49:00.Championship mettle. She really does.
:49:01. > :49:09.Just to say that the world champion was subjected to a violent assault
:49:10. > :49:18.in France, he's got facial fractures, we wish him well. Amos,
:49:19. > :49:34.silver medallist in 2012. What a competitor he was. Rotich was fifth
:49:35. > :49:38.in Rio de Janiero. Here is Giles, season's Beth was in July in London.
:49:39. > :50:06.-- season's best. Interesting to see how Amos runs
:50:07. > :50:21.this. Will he challenge for this? Of late he has enjoyed demonstrating
:50:22. > :50:38.command. Right on the inside. We don't know which one will turn up.
:50:39. > :50:52.He looks like he's up for it. He won three ones prior to it. He is in
:50:53. > :51:00.contact. That is quick. That looks like Bett in third place. It looks
:51:01. > :51:12.as though Rotich is making a move on the outside. Amos has taken it on.
:51:13. > :51:21.Ton-3-mac in second place, Rotich... Look at Kszczot going! Real
:51:22. > :51:31.pressure. Amos has taken the lead, Kszczot really attacking him.
:51:32. > :51:40.Lewandowski as well. The Polish runners... Lewandowski gets second.
:51:41. > :51:48.Kszczot gets third. Terrific race. Amos races to the top, back to
:51:49. > :52:00.winning ways. Second on the world list. Once again, could not really
:52:01. > :52:09.get into that race. You've got to admire Amos for taking it on.
:52:10. > :52:13.Kszczot is not quite in the form we are used to in previous seasons but
:52:14. > :52:21.look at Lewandowski, he looks over the wrong shoulder. That little
:52:22. > :52:39.glance cost him $10,000. A fabulous victory for Amos after a really good
:52:40. > :52:44.season. It is bubbling up nicely. He's not got a big one yet but that
:52:45. > :53:03.is much better. Fairly modest by his standards. Well over 70 metres. Who
:53:04. > :53:05.is he speaking to? The big jump is yet to come as they find the range
:53:06. > :53:25.and they get the feel of the runway. This fellow was difficult to beat.
:53:26. > :53:35.He has done it all and been there many times. Many say that he could
:53:36. > :53:37.be the man to break the record. He would have been the champion many
:53:38. > :53:51.times over if it had not been questioned Taylor. He is so
:53:52. > :54:03.dominant. She has seen Sandy Morris fail at this. She is behind Sandy
:54:04. > :54:10.Morris as she takes fourth. She has failed this one. Stefanidi goes
:54:11. > :54:23.clear and wrestled back control from the American. Now it the women's 100
:54:24. > :54:25.metres. Went out in the semifinals of the World Championships, there is
:54:26. > :54:29.a Elaine Thompson. Double Olympic champion in Rio de Janiero. In month
:54:30. > :54:33.and she could only finish fifth place. -- in London. She is the
:54:34. > :54:56.world number one this year. Talou has fourth place in Rio de
:54:57. > :55:10.Janiero. There is Elaine Thompson. Strange misstep at the World
:55:11. > :55:18.Championships. Talou is six. Not a great start. My goodness me. Here
:55:19. > :55:27.comes the Olympic champion. Easing into the lead and just get it. It
:55:28. > :55:36.was really tight at the line. Gave everything. I said she was the
:55:37. > :55:46.nearly athlete, she nearly did tonight. Very close indeed. So quick
:55:47. > :55:59.out of the blocks. That beautiful, languid style of hers.
:56:00. > :56:12.She won this event last year. Three failure is at 4.8 five. She has had
:56:13. > :56:25.to give way. Stefanidi remains top of the tree and wins the diamond.
:56:26. > :56:32.Taylor is the champion overall. You don't get much better than this.
:56:33. > :56:42.This is an opportunity to go further. A bit rushed. That was
:56:43. > :56:55.nowhere near the famed technique. Will he break records? The advice is
:56:56. > :56:58.to keep winning. There is plenty more to come on the BBC. Following
:56:59. > :57:10.this programme with live coverage from Nottingham. Tomorrow you can
:57:11. > :57:14.see the best of the action. It is followed by coverage of the horse
:57:15. > :57:22.trials. One of the highlights. After that it will be in Newcastle for the
:57:23. > :57:27.great North city games. So much to look forward to but that is it for
:57:28. > :57:32.the coverage of track and field in 2017. It has brought us a lot of
:57:33. > :57:35.drama and controversy and more than one emotional farewell. We will
:57:36. > :57:40.leave you with some of those great memories. Goodbye.
