The athletics season is really gathering pace now. The Diamond | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
League meetings coming thick and fast. Oslo being the first of two | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
back-to-back meetings in Scandinavia. The athletes went in | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
knowing there was just 50 days to go until the World Championships in | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
London. MUSIC PLAYS | :01:09. | :01:33. | |
# Jump, jump... #. Let's get straight into the action | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
with your commentators Steve and Stewart. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
COMMENTATOR: Welcome to the famous Steve Cram sitting next to me. | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
Steve, fond memories, dodgy? -- welcome to the famous Yes, the 400 | :01:58. | :02:12. | |
metres for the men. A little chilly. The breeze picked up, so not how -- | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
sure how quick this will go. The man who is the quickest in the field, | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
for all European track fans. . The men's 400 metres. They got | :02:25. | :02:46. | |
away pretty evenly. Pretty quick start in the orange, making up a | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
little bit of room. Hudson Smith started fast as well down the back | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
straight. Gentle bends in Oslo than the old days, attacking through that | :02:57. | :03:06. | |
first 200 metres, Hudson-Smith, but the question is will he be able to | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
hang on? A big lead going into the home straight, but it is a long haul | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
straight here in Oslo. Maslak finishing quickly as well, but | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Hudson-Smith hanging on at the moment. Thebe come through and is | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
going to get it. He wins it. 44.93. I said he never ran under 45 seconds | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
outside of Africa. That is the first time for him. And huge talent, this | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
boy. Good run from Hudson-Smith, gave him something to attack, but he | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
could not hold of this young man. Don't forget as an under 20 years | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
the second fastest of all time behind Steve Lewis. But 44.95, the | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
winning time. Yes, great run by Hudson-Smith, right the way round to | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
300 metres, just hang on here, but Thebe judged his race perfectly. A | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
little steadier, and Maslak in third place. Maslak always goes off | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
quickly but this time he was caught out because this youngster, Thebe, | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
as Steve said, he had 44.89 to his credit this season and there is a | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
lot more to come. There is the full result. A good start for | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Hudson-Smith and a very positive run from a very wide lane. He had to run | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
it hard, run it well, and almost got it, but not quite. This is her first | :04:35. | :04:50. | |
attempt. Ryzih. Tall, elegant, very powerful, and that was a very good | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
clearance down the middle of the bar. A good technique, very quick on | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
the runway, and she has the height and really drives the pole end, | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
equalling the season's best. Yes, and Silva, she was second in Rome, | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
wasn't she? A good performance for her. She has had a good start. That | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
is nice. It will get crowded at that top end. The pole vault is an early | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
because we had the men's high jump at the top end, so this is coming | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
across. A little bit of sheltered from the window. Any wind is coming | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
slightly off that right shoulder, which will not help matters too | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
much, but Silva is clear that time. Yes, a good competitor, this young | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
woman. It has been a bit of a struggle for Sidorova, having had | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
two failures, one of them really ragged. | :06:00. | :06:00. | |
She really has to get this time right. Ah, look at that! Sidorova, | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
mail is clear on that occasion, finally getting it right. As I said, | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
it has been a little difficult in terms of her approach. Obviously as | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
Russian, now competing as a ANA. Look at the room, fairly comparable | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
for in the end. She was running at high risk strategy there. I'm sure | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
it was not her strategy. Her third attempt. | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
Still to come... CJ Ujah has another chance to shine in the 100 metres. | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
Caster Semenya has not been beaten in the 800 metres for nearly two | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
years. Lynsey Sharp is amongst those trying to change that. In the home | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
of the Dream Mile, promising 1500 metres includes Charlie Grice and | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Jake Wightman, and we will have the best of the action from the field | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
events. COMMENTATOR: Sidorova, first | :07:02. | :07:02. | |
attempt. Oh, yeah. She is there. Look at | :07:03. | :07:18. | |
that. So she moves ahead of the rest of the field now with that. She was | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
struggling early on, behind Ryzih and Silva, but that is a lead for | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
her on that occasion, in my opinion. Yes, she goes ahead of them. So | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
Silva then, having one failure, passed. Up to 4.81. Houster that the | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
pressure on the others, she goes clear here and she certainly will do | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
that. Look at her, so athletics on the of that pole -- she can increase | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
the pressure on the others if she goes clear here. Best for her, 4.8 | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
one. Remember she was the world champion -- the world champion of | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
2015 will be defending that, the silver-medallist back at the | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
Olympics in London in 2012, coming into some nice form. A little bit of | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
a gamble paying off for her. Now the pressure is on to Silva and Ryzih. | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
You can see the discus cage in front of you. This is actually there is | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
coming into the circle and both the men and women are throwing back and | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
forward alternatively -- this is Perez coming into the circle. We | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
will see what she can do. That is still pretty good, looks around | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
about 66. Really hammers that one, just clipping the side of the | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
netting as well which must have taken a little bit out of the force | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
of that discus, but she was happy with that. Not surprised, a season's | :08:56. | :09:09. | |
best. This one is quite competitive. You can see the line-up here. The | :09:10. | :09:20. | |
women's 100-metre hurdles. Pedersen was going well but in the | :09:21. | :09:54. | |
end Dutkiewicz got it in the end, and the German came through very | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
strongly for me in the end. In the end, she was flying. Dutkiewicz, who | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
had the pedigree, Kemen, and that was 12.73, incidentally. A good | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
finish, and it was a tough race. It was always going to be competitive, | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
but, my goodness me, in the first-half of the race Pedersen had | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
that tied up, gave it absolutely everything. Castlin came through, | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
just overtook Pedersen, but both given the same time. What a cracking | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
race in front of her home crowd here. Ran a brilliant race, didn't | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
do anything wrong, just really could not hang on in the end, the charge | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
of Dutkiewicz and Castlin just getting their ahead of her. You can | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
see how she just didn't come off that last hurdle, almost losing her | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
balance, cleared it all day but couldn't really maintain the same | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
sort of momentum. Hurdling well but starting to stream a little bit. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Coming quickly, and Castlin as well who didn't get the best of starts, | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
chasing her down, but what a good performance by the Norwegian. Watch | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
this here. Well done, avoided injury. She was immediately looking | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
over to see... Did I win it, did I not? Almost. There is the result. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
Yes, Dutkiewicz, Castlin and Pedersen, the three. The German, and | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
we saw Silva go clear first time, and she has to clear this here | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
otherwise that is it for her. No, no... A little bit of a break for | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
the opening ceremony and I don't think that helped in terms of the | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
rhythm of the event, certainly for her. Going out at 4.8 one. Soccer | :11:35. | :11:47. | |
third and final attempt for Sidorova at 4.81. -- so it is a third and | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
final attempt. She desperately needs this. Oh, no, no. To cover the lead | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
at 4.65, then all of a sudden found herself under pressure from Silva. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
She will end up second here. -- took over the lead. And the first round | :12:06. | :12:15. | |
of the men's competition. Well, not a bad start from him. Round about | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
the 65-metre mark. Perhaps that little breeze helping, not sure how | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
much it is getting down to track level. A breeze more than anything | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
else. They would like a little of that integrate rather than against. | :12:36. | :12:47. | |
We saw Silva clear 4.8 one. Boot it up to 4.9 two. Has not really had a | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
good attempt but this is her third attempt. A tad better, but not | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
really getting there. Have to be happy with 4.81, though, as even's | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
best for the Cuban. The world champion will be heading to London | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
in good form. Second in Rio and then winning in Oslo with that 4.81 | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
clearance. Getting better and improving as the season goes on. And | :13:15. | :13:25. | |
Sidorova taking second place with Ryzih Germany third. We have a 1500 | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
later on in this Diamond League, but this is the man they have all come | :13:33. | :13:33. | |
to see... The middle distance star, Filip | :13:34. | :13:49. | |
Ingebrigsten. And some of the supporters. Watching his younger | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
brother here, Henrik. This young boy has been breaking records since aged | :13:58. | :14:08. | |
14 and recently ran as a 16-year-old, just phenomenal. This | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
is in front of his home crowd and a chance to see if he can go any | :14:13. | :14:21. | |
quicker. So the under 23 mile. A couple of pacemakers. The organisers | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
said we could not find under 20s to go quicker so they had to roll a | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
couple of older guys. Robinson of Ireland taking the first lap. Then | :14:33. | :14:41. | |
the Australian trying to take them through 1200 metres. And Filip | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Ingebrigsten Ben left with the other competitors to see what he can do. | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
The crowd getting behind them. They want to go through the first 400 at | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
around 58 seconds and then try to settle down. But this boy is a | :14:57. | :15:07. | |
massive talent. He ran 342 here in 2016 as a 15-year-old. Now showing | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
us that he just keeps improving. Here we go, spot on from the | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
pacemaker. It was a good start. Most of these young men have not run a | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
mile in the past. So we had been able to make some kind of | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
comparison. But you're right that Filip Ingebrigsten was fantastic in | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
the Eugene mile. He is coming up to 17 but goodness me what a prospect | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
if he continues to develop. Remember Usain Bolt developed from a | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
15-year-old like the way through to the senior ranks. This is a long | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
distance version in a way. Or could be. Actually the canyon is quite | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
useful, running wide in the red vest at the moment. Definitely capable of | :15:58. | :16:09. | |
contesting over the last 300, 400 metres. So tucking in behind the | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
pacemakers, Filip Ingebrigsten. Just slotting back in. And then behind | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
them the Moroccan and the others just strung out a little bit. As you | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
would expect. A couple of 17 roles, Belgian guys, further back. So the | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
first pacemaker drops out. Starting to push on a little bit now. Filip | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
Ingebrigsten looking comfortable. Full of composure and 16. An amazing | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
talent. And he moves into the position where he will want to hold. | :16:46. | :16:55. | |
The third lap in the 1500 metres race, just dropping off the pace a | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
little bit as Filip Ingebrigsten stays with the pacemaker. A little | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
bit of a gap opening up. And there we go with just one lap to go. He is | :17:14. | :17:24. | |
heading for a quick time. The pacemaker just looking behind. It is | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
an under 20 race and he cannot finish it. There he goes, Filip | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
Ingebrigsten being chased down. The Moroccan chasing down Filip | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
Ingebrigsten. It could be between these two. With 200 to go, Filip | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
Ingebrigsten. He wants to run under four minutes in front of this crowd | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
and he kicks away again. Opening up another couple of metres. And they | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
are rising for this 16-year-old here in this stadium. One of their own | :18:01. | :18:09. | |
here. Starting out on what could be a superb career. 356. Taking another | :18:10. | :18:19. | |
couple of seconds from his personal best. He is 16! Congratulations. | :18:20. | :18:39. | |
Well done, mate. 16 years of age. 3:56.20 nine. We have had some great | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
teenagers over the years. But he's only 16 and really setting out on | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
what we think is going to be a cracking career. His only problem | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
how to get rid of the pacemaker. He just looked so assured | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
uncomfortable. I thought he would not be quite so fast but he picked | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
up incredibly well. Get inspired is on the BBC Sport website, and to get | :19:19. | :19:26. | |

activity finder to help you find something to try near you. Get | :19:35. | :19:44. | |
inspired and get active. The men's discus. | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
A big fellow, Stahl. That is just on the 65 metres. Stahl is a | :19:56. | :20:06. | |
powerhouse, a big man. Fifth in the World Championships in Beijing. | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
Plenty of big guys around here. Just take a look at this, a few minutes | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
ago, the first round of the long jump. | :20:22. | :20:33. | |
This is Blessing Okagbare and look what happens, lost her hair piece. | :20:34. | :20:46. | |
It jumped five metres! A little bit of an embarrassing moment. I have | :20:47. | :20:57. | |
never seen that, ever. I'm sure she wishes we had not seen it. This will | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
get replayed over and over I am pretty sure. She seems unperturbed! | :21:05. | :21:17. | |
Whatever! Just trying to get ahead. Over in the women's discus, third | :21:18. | :21:33. | |
round, almost going out of the circle there, Caballero. An | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
improvement on her first thrillers. Struggling to hang on but just | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
manage it. The lead still held Perez. Three times Olympic champion, | :21:46. | :22:03. | |
from the United States. Really quick on the runway, over about 6.50. So | :22:04. | :22:15. | |
quick on the runway, a lovely little hang, not quite there. A bit of | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
forward rotation. Really does not get a good leg should in the end. | :22:20. | :22:29. | |
Needs much more on the end of that. So just saying yes, coach, I did not | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
quite get that right. The win last week in Rome was an impressive | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
victory for CJ Ujah of the UK where he saw off the challenge Ronnie | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
Baker and will be looking for another good performance in school. | :22:46. | :22:56. | |
He faces Andre De Grasse. Add to that the British bid rivals and we | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
have a fascinating race in prospect. The men's 100 metres, a big star, | :23:02. | :23:13. | |
Andre De Grasse. And CJ Ujah, the winner in Rome. And Adam Gemili, 200 | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
metres, perhaps his best event. Did not look so good the other day and | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
will be looking to improve over 100 metres. Also in good form the French | :23:25. | :23:38. | |
man, Jimmy Vicaut. Andre De Grasse, in good form. Can he hang on to CJ | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
Ujah? And then Reece Prescod, 21 years | :23:44. | :24:06. | |
old, a Brit, massive talent. A good 200-metre runner as well. Just | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
outside his personal best this year on the 100 metres. | :24:12. | :24:24. | |
The men's 100 metres. CJ Ujah gets a pretty good start. Jimmy Vicaut | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
going well. It is going to be close. Coming right through the middle, | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
Andre De Grasse and he wins it. Ten .0 two. Hard to run quickly in Oslo, | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
I do not know why. These really fast times. There was a slight following | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
breeze and that was quite a tough race for all of them. Anyone had a | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
chance it seemed. CJ Ujah definitely got out well and has got second | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
place. A very good start from CJ Ujah. Jimmy Vicaut just started to | :25:01. | :25:09. | |
fade. Adam Gemili was fading a little bit. It was very close but a | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
clear win for Andre De Grasse of Canada. Let's take a look at that | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
start again. , slowly and get into your running. And look at CJ Ujah, | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
absolutely grimacing in the final stages and probably just trying to | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
do a bit too much. Andre De Grasse is the winner. Not much in it. There | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
are clear of Adam Gemili. She had a bit of a slow start to | :25:40. | :25:54. | |
this season, and will be looking to improve,, Lorraine Ugen. That is | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
much better. Pretty good on the board. Again did not quite get the | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
extension at the end. Just need that little bit more. That is perfect, | :26:06. | :26:14. | |
could not be any better. Bronze-medallist of the world | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
indoors, Lorraine Ugen. A cracking indoor season in 2016. Not quite as | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
transferring that to the outdoors. Moves into third place with that. | :26:26. | :26:37. | |
This is the third round throw in the discus, one of these athletes that | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
can pull out those big throws, Milanov. That looks a good flight. | :26:46. | :26:56. | |
He has got horrific height. That moves him into third place. Here is | :26:57. | :27:11. | |
Stahl. Not much of a lead for this sweet. A big cheer. That is a big | :27:12. | :27:26. | |
improvement. Stahl has thrown 68 metres this year, he is in pretty | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
good form, the 24-year-old. Thumbs up from him. That is more like it. | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
The women's long jump, some real talent. That looks very | :27:39. | :28:04. | |
good. Lovely technique, very neat. I wonder if that will advance her | :28:05. | :28:12. | |
position. It is very close. Moving into the lead by two centimetres. | :28:13. | :28:21. | |
And over in the discus a man already having a good season. What can he | :28:22. | :28:30. | |
do, third round. That looks better. The flight is better as well. And | :28:31. | :28:41. | |
just below the lead. He is quick and very athletic in the circle, the | :28:42. | :28:42. | |
Jamaican. Vicks the women's 800 metres, what a | :28:43. | :29:04. | |
line-up, with Semenya, Niyonsaba, there is Lynsey Sharp of Great | :29:05. | :29:05. | |
Britain as well. Niyonsaba upside-down! A catalogue | :29:06. | :29:29. | |
of errors tonight in Oslo! Lynsey Sharp, champion back in 2012 of | :29:30. | :29:32. | |
course. Caster Semenya, I don't know how you will beat this woman. She | :29:33. | :29:39. | |
just dominates whatever you run, a devastating last 200 metres. Miller | :29:40. | :29:47. | |
Sir Bishop of Canada is there, and also the former world champion who | :29:48. | :29:56. | |
won in 2013, Sum, and Niyonsaba, who has been going well of late. It is | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
absolutely star-studded, this event, it really is, Sum going off pretty | :30:03. | :30:09. | |
quickly into the back straight, the former world champion of course. A | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
big bunch of athletes trying to get into position. Niyonsaba, the tall | :30:14. | :30:24. | |
figure in the middle, and of course Lindh taking it very wide indeed. | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
How do they beat Semenya? Just be careful, ladies. A little bit of | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
pushing and shoving. I do not think they will be able to. You have to | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
run your own race, and obviously athletes at different stages in | :30:38. | :30:43. | |
their season. The likes of Lynsey Sharp yet to get going, and yet to | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
get going in this race as well. On the outside. Semenya will just glide | :30:49. | :30:56. | |
through here, pretty good lap. 57.5, but Semenya sitting back waiting, | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
biding her time. Niyonsaba is the leading athletes chasing the | :31:01. | :31:07. | |
pacemaker. Wambui next to her, then Semenya following power. And then it | :31:08. | :31:14. | |
is Almanza. Spreading out on that back straight. Semenya looks so | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
comfortable, and Almanza looks good at the moment. The pacemaker is gone | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
and Niyonsaba is there. Of course the Olympic medallist last year. | :31:26. | :31:28. | |
Semenya and Niyonsaba following her. The big three out in front, and I | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
think it is Almanza coming into fourth place. Yes, it is Almanza, | :31:33. | :31:41. | |
putting pressure on Niyonsaba. Semenya has such a terrific last 200 | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
metres. There she is again. A best time of 1:51.66 this season, but a | :31:47. | :31:54. | |
good run by Niyonsaba for second place. Third place, Niyonsaba just | :31:55. | :32:05. | |
hold of Lindh, and that is 1:57.60, and once again the race went to | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
script. Well, you know, going to script. But it nearly didn't. | :32:11. | :32:17. | |
Semenya, Niyonsaba and Niyonsaba, but a cracking run from Lovisa | :32:18. | :32:21. | |
Lindh, close to a personal best for her, that will be, and the big race | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
of the season for. But Semenya winning as she wanted. Niyonsaba | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
Hadda go, didn't she, down the back straight? Putting on some pressure, | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
but Semenya easily close the gap. Look at the difference here. | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
Niyonsaba going for it, and Semenya cruising, absolutely cruising. We | :32:38. | :32:42. | |
will roll this through to the World Championships and I don't think we | :32:43. | :32:49. | |
will see anything different. Trying to get some support from the crowd | :32:50. | :32:51. | |
in the home straight. They are enjoying the long jump. 6.50 second | :32:52. | :32:59. | |
round, going in the third. Again not quite finishing off there. Very good | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
on the board, generating a pretty good speed here. Looking for it | :33:05. | :33:11. | |
there, but not quite. It does not look as though that will improve her | :33:12. | :33:19. | |
position. Drop down to fourth because Klishina moved into the | :33:20. | :33:29. | |
lead, then Bartoletta. 6.47 for her, and we are in the early stages of | :33:30. | :33:38. | |
the men's high jump. And this is his first competition of the season. | :33:39. | :33:48. | |
Easy... He will not be taking those tracksuit bottoms off for a little | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
while yet, I would think. That becomes his season's best. Well, | :33:53. | :34:02. | |
Barshim then. Nice and comfortable, taking off well away from the bar | :34:03. | :34:07. | |
area. World Championship silver-medallist and a | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
silver-medallist last year. But remember Brussels 2014? 2.43, two | :34:11. | :34:18. | |
centimetres below the world record. The world record was set in 1989 at | :34:19. | :34:25. | |
227. I wonder whether we will see that equalled or beating today as | :34:26. | :34:28. | |
the competition develops -- it was set in 1989 at 2.37. The fourth | :34:29. | :34:37. | |
round of the women's discus now. No throw on the third round. This is | :34:38. | :34:43. | |
her fourth. Perkovic. What can she do here? She often pulls out a big | :34:44. | :34:50. | |
throw, so athletic. Powerful, transfer to wait so well, and runs | :34:51. | :34:55. | |
across, but watch it, that kilogram discus, and that looks a good one | :34:56. | :35:00. | |
and it is, well over 65. She knew that was good and you could always | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
tell it was good, once they are in the circle. But she rotates so | :35:04. | :35:08. | |
powerfully. Technically very good. A little better, she says. She is | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
never content with anything unless over 70, I would think. But 66.79. | :35:13. | :35:48. | |
Less than 50 days to the start of the World Championships but plenty | :35:49. | :35:53. | |
more athletics on the BBC before then to get you in the mood. Next | :35:54. | :36:00. | |
weekend is the European Championships in Lille, and you can | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
for that with the red button on Saturday. The following week, the | :36:06. | :36:08. | |
World Championship trials from Birmingham, as Britain's best battle | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
it out in the team for London. The week after that, on the 9th of July, | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
the Anniversary Games are alive from the London Stadium on BBC One. And | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
in the meantime, of course, the Diamond League Highlights continue. | :36:24. | :36:31. | |
COMMENTATOR: 2.29, going for 2.3 two. Tracksuit bottoms off this | :36:32. | :36:36. | |
time. Oh, no! This men's high jump is falling apart, isn't it? | :36:37. | :36:41. | |
Expecting it to be really good, and here we are, only two men in it. Is | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
booked to Robbie this morning and he said he had bruised his heel in | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
Shanghai, said he really made a mistake there, and obviously it | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
hasn't recovered and had an effect on his confidence, that's for sure. | :36:56. | :37:00. | |
He is much better than that. 2.32 then for Bondarenko. And with | :37:01. | :37:12. | |
Barshim and Bondarenko, the only two left, Barshim now has another go. | :37:13. | :37:16. | |
But the only thing I would say, Steve, it is a big field. A great | :37:17. | :37:29. | |
clearance by Barshim. The Barshim clearance, 2.32, the first time, he | :37:30. | :37:32. | |
has had clearances all the way through, Kemen at two by 20. As you | :37:33. | :37:42. | |
were saying, with Robbie Gordon, and the Olympic champion, going out at | :37:43. | :37:50. | |
2.29, suggest these two left, Barshim and Bondarenko. And into the | :37:51. | :37:58. | |
fourth round of the discus. Just gets past the cage there. That is | :37:59. | :38:13. | |
better from him. Stahl still leaving with 67.36. This one will not be far | :38:14. | :38:21. | |
off. Certainly in the range, and he says take-back, 66.3 nine. That puts | :38:22. | :38:29. | |
him into third, Milanov. Congratulations for the rest of the | :38:30. | :38:34. | |
guys. And a big jump this, for Bondarenko, and if he doesn't get it | :38:35. | :38:41. | |
then Barshim has won and won eight at 2.3 two. That was the worst of | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
the three. Oh, well. Nowhere near the form we thought we would get | :38:47. | :38:53. | |
here. Nobody going beyond 2.29 apart from Barshim. Next on the tracks, | :38:54. | :39:02. | |
Karsten Warholm, the very talented 21-year-old Norwegian. He recently | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
ran a new Norwegian record over the flat 400, a 44.87. He would have won | :39:07. | :39:15. | |
the flat 400 with that time tonight. There he is, personal best in a | :39:16. | :39:18. | |
series of distances endorsed this year and he is up against this man, | :39:19. | :39:27. | |
the Olympic champion, Kerron Clement. All eyes are on that race | :39:28. | :39:35. | |
there. And we have the European champion from 2014. A good field | :39:36. | :39:36. | |
here. I were clearly, and Barr has got off | :39:37. | :39:56. | |
Prydie quickly. Not much to choose between him and Clement. -- pretty | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
quickly. Clement probably would have a metre on the young Norwegian. The | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
champion has really set out really quickly. The two of them neck and | :40:08. | :40:18. | |
neck, and Hann going well in lane five. The Olympic champion gets | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
there! The crowd realise it, their manners in front! Coming down the | :40:22. | :40:30. | |
home straight, one more... Warholm's .biz, yet the last one hard... | :40:31. | :40:39. | |
Warholm wins it! 48.26, another record and another personal best. A | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
big performance, and that has got them on their feet. And now it is a | :40:44. | :40:57. | |
400-metre burglar. The organiser comes to give him a big hug, because | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
that is what he needs. That is what they have all come to see, a bit of | :41:03. | :41:08. | |
Norwegian success. Another national record for this young man. Clement | :41:09. | :41:16. | |
got it horribly wrong, he went out hard, and through the first two | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
ruddles, maybe half a metre or so, then as he went round the top end, | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
hurdles seven and eight, then Clement got into trouble. Yes, he | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
got into big trouble. But certainly Warholm on the basis of that flat | :41:31. | :41:37. | |
400-metre time, and the Turkish bronze-medallist as well, really | :41:38. | :41:40. | |
challenging well in the final stage, Copello. Thomas Barr of Ireland, | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
that was a good one, but when you see this man Warholm, when you have | :41:45. | :41:47. | |
the basic speed and confidence that gives you... Clement had run a 46.19 | :41:48. | :41:55. | |
in Thursday so we knew he was not in that sort of shape, but my goodness | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
me, you really challenge the 300, ran out of steam and studied into | :42:00. | :42:02. | |
that penultimate hurdle and really suffered. Third fastest in the world | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
this year. Look how much it meant to him. Shara Proctor really trying to | :42:07. | :42:13. | |
get things going and so far really disappointing. 6.35 in the second | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
round is best so far. She really needs to get things moving here, | :42:19. | :42:22. | |
Shara Proctor. Competing for Great Britain in the triple jump of the | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
European team Championships. That is better! That is much better! Got her | :42:27. | :42:34. | |
gloves on. We have seen it all tonight, haven't we? But that is | :42:35. | :42:37. | |
much better by Shara Proctor. Still no great jumping from any of them, | :42:38. | :42:44. | |
to be there. Still in the 6.50 range. Good on the board. That might | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
change things for her. She was languishing in seventh or eighth, in | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
fact she was in it. So in the high jump ship, another attempt for | :42:54. | :42:59. | |
Barshim. And he needs this because the previous jump was not good, it | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
really wasn't. He has won the competition, and it has cooled down | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
quite a lot, blustery now. Let's see whether we can get this 2.3 five. He | :43:09. | :43:11. | |
has it! Brilliant! We know. Fabulous stuff, third and | :43:12. | :43:30. | |
final attempt at 2.30 five. The record for the high jump is two | :43:31. | :43:40. | |
point 37. That was set in 1989. That is the meeting record. The long jump | :43:41. | :44:02. | |
now. In the final stages. I wonder whether Bartoletta can get back the | :44:03. | :44:11. | |
lead. I think that she has. Klishina was leading but I think that has | :44:12. | :44:14. | |
turned it over. That is that, Bartoletta goes to the top and | :44:15. | :44:16. | |
Klishina in second place. Now this will be a meeting record | :44:17. | :44:35. | |
for Barshim. Here he goes. That was close! And he knows it. Bianca | :44:36. | :44:44. | |
Williams of Great Britain in this 200 metres. Representing Great | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
Britain. Simone Facey of Jamaica. | :44:49. | :45:10. | |
Lalova-Collio has been around a long time. And Dafne Schippers, the world | :45:11. | :45:16. | |
champion at 200 metres in 2015. Has had a few hiccups this year. Fourth | :45:17. | :45:27. | |
place in Eugene. That was a superb run. | :45:28. | :45:38. | |
And Murielle Ahoure in good form. A personal best three seasons ago. But | :45:39. | :45:51. | |
she is good. And that is Dafne Schippers out of | :45:52. | :46:01. | |
the race. I cannot believe it. It is her birthday. I was just wondering | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
if they would sing happy birthday to her when she wins it. Not just a | :46:07. | :46:11. | |
false start, that is a big false start. How are they going to get | :46:12. | :46:17. | |
round this? Unless they come up with some green card issue. It was so | :46:18. | :46:24. | |
blatant, it was unbelievable. Trying to suggest that someone in the crowd | :46:25. | :46:30. | |
said something or there was some noise. All the athletes are in the | :46:31. | :46:37. | |
same place. You still have to stay in your blogs. I think she's going | :46:38. | :46:44. | |
to get away with it, I cannot believe that. Really! I'm just going | :46:45. | :46:55. | |
to say this, we all want to see the big stars but the rules are the | :46:56. | :46:58. | |
rules above that was a false start, end of it. She should not be here. | :46:59. | :47:04. | |
Nothing against Dafne Schippers, I know that she's the star of the | :47:05. | :47:13. | |
show, but that was a false start. Away this time. Putting real | :47:14. | :47:23. | |
pressure on her, Murielle Ahoure. Dafne Schippers is leading. Murielle | :47:24. | :47:30. | |
Ahoure in second place. Simone Facey coming into third place with Dafne | :47:31. | :47:37. | |
Schippers. Dafne Schippers get fit. Well I have to say, really when you | :47:38. | :47:44. | |
look at what happened, she is a lucky young woman. And in the | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
championship that would just not have happened. Let's just say it is | :47:49. | :47:55. | |
her birthday. Maybe they decided to give her a present. Not invoking | :47:56. | :48:02. | |
that false start as it should have been. It was plain. She complained. | :48:03. | :48:09. | |
She is the big star and she was listened to. She might have rewarded | :48:10. | :48:14. | |
them by running a bit quicker! For me if she's just not flowing very | :48:15. | :48:20. | |
well, perhaps still in early trading, early in the season. Still | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
quite cool as well. By her standards that is average. And of course Dafne | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
Schippers and Murielle Ahoure out in front and it was Simone Facey in | :48:30. | :48:37. | |
third place. The transition was quite good for Murielle Ahoure. But | :48:38. | :48:40. | |
Dafne Schippers has got away with it. Got out of jail free. | :48:41. | :48:51. | |
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model size. When I start to | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
tell them people think I'm telling lies. But I say I am a woman. | :48:55. | :49:06. | |
Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman. It ought to make | :49:07. | :49:12. | |
you proud. We had a very good first attempt and | :49:13. | :49:26. | |
here is Barshim with another meeting record. Just clips it with the arm. | :49:27. | :49:39. | |
But it stays on. He might have to go at 240. He has got the record now. | :49:40. | :49:48. | |
And it is now getting cooler. Now this is someone who had a personal | :49:49. | :49:58. | |
best earlier. She has saved her best to last, the German. That looks to | :49:59. | :50:05. | |
be better. Right on the board. Into third place, Claudia Rath. Can | :50:06. | :50:33. | |
Klishina change it all? That looks quite useful. It looks very close. | :50:34. | :50:45. | |
Around about 6.70. Almost a complete hanging. That is a season 's best. | :50:46. | :50:59. | |
But winning it by a narrow margin is Bartoletta. That is a big throw from | :51:00. | :51:10. | |
Stahl. That will challenge his record. His body language was good, | :51:11. | :51:17. | |
he liked that. That is very close. Suddenly close to 68 metres I would | :51:18. | :51:24. | |
have thought. That will be close to 68. | :51:25. | :51:33. | |
Topping the world rankings in the 1500 metres is Mangoi. But look out | :51:34. | :51:47. | |
for Charlie Grice and Jake Wightman of Great Britain who will be | :51:48. | :51:49. | |
battling for dominance in a fortnight. Moving on to the far side | :51:50. | :51:58. | |
of the track, the men's 1500 metres. Some injury problems last year. | :51:59. | :52:12. | |
Gregson the first Australian to make the final four 40 years. Jake | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
Wightman of Great Britain having his best season so far. And Charlie | :52:17. | :52:22. | |
Grice hoping to have a good performance. And Marcin Lewandowski | :52:23. | :52:34. | |
on the left-hand side. This has been billed as a quick race. We cannot | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
really bill it as a record attempt. Setting the pace are Kiptoo and | :52:39. | :53:00. | |
Rotich. In second place is Souleiman, having | :53:01. | :53:18. | |
a bit of a shopping season. Let's watched the first four metres. | :53:19. | :53:26. | |
Looking pretty good. Looking to hit something like 56 seconds through | :53:27. | :53:33. | |
the first 400 metres. And it is going that way as well. Souleiman of | :53:34. | :53:38. | |
course have had indifferent form recently. And we must not forget | :53:39. | :54:03. | |
Iguider in that leading group. You can expect some fast times if you | :54:04. | :54:17. | |
look at the likes of Kiplagat. Moving up a little bit closer is | :54:18. | :54:30. | |
Kiplagat. Souleiman letting adapt develop. They have kicked on to 153. | :54:31. | :54:45. | |
Some big gaps in the pack now. Ingebrigsten looking very good. | :54:46. | :54:52. | |
Ingebrigsten has latched on and the gap is opening up between that | :54:53. | :54:55. | |
leading group now. The pacemaking has not been very helpful. They had | :54:56. | :54:59. | |
not gone with it and it is all down to Souleiman. The rest of just sat | :55:00. | :55:10. | |
in behind him. In third place is Manangoi. Jake Wightman starting to | :55:11. | :55:20. | |
move closer as is Charlie Grice. It isn't Souleiman leading. Jake | :55:21. | :55:28. | |
Wightman making a big move on the outside in the yellow shorts. | :55:29. | :55:34. | |
Souleiman really not pushing on. All queueing up behind. 300 metres to go | :55:35. | :55:39. | |
and the crowd getting excited. Ingebrigsten looking comfortable. | :55:40. | :55:45. | |
And look at Marston Lewandowski. Now Manangoi get against the gap. But | :55:46. | :55:51. | |
look at Jake Wightman chasing Manangoi. Manangoi with Jake | :55:52. | :55:55. | |
Wightman on his shoulder. Look at this! The Brit kicking for home. | :55:56. | :56:04. | |
Manangoi may not have anything. Jake Wightman kicking hard on the home | :56:05. | :56:07. | |
straight. Manangoi coming back at him. Jake Wightman, this would be | :56:08. | :56:12. | |
the biggest win of his career. He has got to get there. And he wins | :56:13. | :56:23. | |
it! Second is Manangoi. Marcin Lewandowski third and then a big gap | :56:24. | :56:27. | |
to the rest of the field. I spoke to Jake earlier and this is what he was | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
looking for in terms of his times. He has been running well, that is a | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
personal best. Did he really think that he would win in the track that | :56:37. | :56:42. | |
all middle distance runners dream of winning at? A winner in Oslo, | :56:43. | :56:48. | |
congratulations from his team-mate Charlie Grice. Jake having a | :56:49. | :56:54. | |
cracking year. Personal best in 800 metres and now a personal best in | :56:55. | :56:58. | |
the 1500 metres. He will be much more delighted with the fact that he | :56:59. | :57:07. | |
is the winner, beating Manangoi and Ingebrigsten. Look how strong he | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
was. He timed it right. Smart through the first 800, moved up | :57:13. | :57:17. | |
nicely and then got himself out following Manangoi and strong in the | :57:18. | :57:21. | |
home straight. Well done to Jake Wightman, his dad will be delighted. | :57:22. | :57:26. | |
There's so history here, it has been a dream all this time, and going | :57:27. | :57:33. | |
into the Champs in the trials. A great atmosphere always here. And | :57:34. | :57:39. | |
the track is quick. I was hoping to earn a PB. I was just kicking on and | :57:40. | :57:49. | |
just about held onto it. Stay with us next for the rugby league | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
Challenge Cup, Warrington against Wigan. The Diamond League is back | :57:54. | :57:57. | |
tomorrow night for the second half of the Scandinavian double-header | :57:58. | :58:00. | |
and we bring you highlights from Stockholm at five past midnight. It | :58:01. | :58:04. | |
is repeated on Monday at lunchtime if you cannot step that late. And | :58:05. | :58:10. | |
keep up with all things athletics on the BBC sports website and the app | :58:11. | :58:14. | |
or join the conversation on social media using the hashtag BBC | :58:15. | :58:18. | |
athletics. When | :58:19. | :58:31. | |
many the cues including Dafne Schippers it was left to Jake | :58:32. | :58:34. | |
Wightman to take centre stage tonight in this most famous public | :58:35. | :58:37. | |
theatres, he joined the long list of British miners who have tasted | :58:38. | :58:39. | |
victory at this game. Sebastian Coe was watching on and would have been | :58:40. | :58:42. | |
impressed with that new personal best for the 22-year-old. Adam | :58:43. | :58:44. | |
Gemili looking a little bit sharper, and we have the comedy moment of the | :58:45. | :58:46. | |
year but Jake Wightman really produced that hair raising | :58:47. | :58:51. | |
performance. That is all from Oslo and the Diamond League but we're | :58:52. | :58:54. | |
back tomorrow night with more action from Stockholm. Until then, goodbye. | :58:55. | :59:05. |
