Rabat Highlights Athletics: IAAF Diamond League

Hello and welcome to Morocco's capital city Rabat for the latest

leg of the Diamond League tour. If the quality matches London last

weekend, you are in for a treat. COMMENTATOR: Whatever you are

expecting, it will be quicker than you think. Not a breath of wind

inside the arena for this one. This is hard work now. He has smashed it.

A new world best. Thompson will get it, just. He is scrapping for it and

he has got to get it. Harrison has to fight hard and he does so and he

takes it. This is a fascinating race. She is

trying to do it the hard way, from the front. He kicks again and here

he goes. That will blow the cobwebs away. Perfect.

The Anniversary Games was a fascinating rehearsal ahead of the

championships in three weeks but before that we bring you athletics

from Morocco, for the Rabat Diamond League. Your commentators today are

Steve Cram and Stuart Storey. We will start introducing from the

outside but it is a strong line-up with the reigning world champion.

The London winner. Going well. She has not got a great

lane. Russell of Jamaica also going. In very good form at the moment.

Interesting to see what form we have with the twice world champion who

won in 2013 and 2015. She will defend her title in London. The

within's 400 metres hurdles. Doyle is the target for Russell of

Jamaica. Hejnova making headway. Chased by Hejnova on the inside. Her

last run was not good. Doyle going strongly but Hejnova is really

putting on the pressure and she will lead as they come into the home

straight. Russell will have work to do to catch her. Hejnova is tough.

Right on the inside. Cassandra Tate is going well. The reigning world

champion, Hejnova, Russell chasing her down. Russell and Doyle. Hejnova

will take this, I believe. Hejnova get sick, Russell is second and that

was a good run by Doyle. Hejnova signals that the reigning champion,

who will defend her title in London, is getting into good form.

Good competitive form. That was a good race, Steve. Very competitive

in the end. It was. You have a great athlete and her best has been slowly

getting back to the best, Hejnova. The world champion will want to go

and defend that. Russell did not go out as hard as she finished

strongly. Doyle in the outside, lane eight, a tough draw. Finishing

strongly in third. Hejnova making the advancements she needs to make.

Russell did not attack the last barrier. Still closing on Hejnova

but ran out of time. Hejnova is looking strong. A season's best, she

will be delighted. It came at the right time.

STUDIO: London 2012 silver-medallist Nijel Amos is running in the 800

metres. Mitchell-Blake and Chijindu Ujah battle it out in the 100

metres. De Grasse in the 200 metres. Laura Weightman in the 1500 and

Elaine Thompson double gold-medallist looks to continue her

good form. South Africa's Olympic champion Caster Semenya running in

the 400 metres and home favourite Abdalaati Iguider will be roared on

by the home crowd in the men's 3000. Let's see how they fared in

Morocco's capital. Richards from Jamaica, one of the

elder statesman. World bronze-medallist in 2015 and a

national record broken this year and that is another one. Krause is the

Olympic champion, tall and powerful. -- Ryan Crouser. Those credentials

go together to fly this shot out beyond 22 metres. 22.47 is his best

performance. The meeting record, but he had three throws over 22 metres.

That was his third round throw. And then Ryan Whiting comes in. A good

throw for the American. His next best throw of the season. All

smiles, sneaking in to take third spot ahead of Bukowiecki. O'Dea

Richards had three no throws after his.

Just a little bit at the end. The Olympic champion, an entertainer.

Heaving the shot out to 22.40 seven. Just adding another three

centimetres. The first time they have had the men's shot in the Rabat

Diamond League. It says meeting record because it is the first. A

great competition. Ryan Crouser carrying on serenely. Nobody would

bet against him at the World Championships.

The sprinters are already out. A cracking field we have. Martina.

Roto. Su. Ujah from Great Britain. Bledman and Beejay Lee. What a

season Ujah is having, finding consistency. Andre De Grasse, a new

trading partner. Selected for Great Britain for the World Championships.

Ben Youssef Meite, the African champion. Having a great year.

Mitchell-Blake, the British-based sprinter. Former junior champion who

will be contesting the 200 for Great Britain in the World Championships.

They get away cleanly. It will be close on the -. Ujah is going to get

it. 9.90 nine. If it stays and we will wait for it to be confirmed.

Very slight headwind. It has gone to 9.90 eight. That will move him

alongside Jason Gardener in the British all-time list. CJ Ujah. His

best of the season. His starts have been good this year. It is the way

he has been finishing lately. Meite got a good start put on pressure.

The measure of the man is he was not fazed by that. Meite ahead. He gets

into tunnel vision and makes his way to the finish. Lovely high hips. A

beautiful run by Ujah and he the Saab ten second clocking. Ujah,

cool, calm, and the last 30 metres, drifting ahead. Meite, they have

raced each other a few times this season, and they have had differing

results but CJ is showing with a 9.98, a new meeting record, winning

again and that is a big win for him. What will that do for his confidence

in the World Championships? An awful lot, I would presume.

STUDIO: This year the disciplines cover men and women put it follows a

championship model with the first ten meetings acting as qualification

for finals in Zurich and Brussels. At each of the 12 qualification

beatings athletes are awarded points for ranking from first to eighth and

the top athletes at the end will be awarded a starting place in the

winner takes all final. The men's 800 metres and what a

line-up. It will be a competitive race. That is the line-up. Amos has

been going well. Som the pacemaker who always does a good job. Nijel

Amos. Wedding in London stop he really has had a poor start to the

season but come good. My goodness, world junior champion and is now

making an impact. Let's see who in fact makes the

headway into the back straight. Amos has been charging to the front and

establishing the tenor of the race. Donovan brazier in third. You have

Bett them. The rest trailing. It looks pretty quick and Amos, Steve,

has taken it on and this time, the American Donovan brazier not letting

him go too far nor is Bett. Amos is getting back to his best. He is a

massive talent. The confidence has been building, which is why he is

doing this. He asked Som to go hard. Brazier is within range. Amos, who

have the magnificent run in second place behind David Rudisha in the

Olympics, he has suddenly come of age this season. Having a poor

start, running 1.47s, 1.48s and now Bett has him in his sights. Coming

through also Brazier, making headway as they have 200 metres to go. Amos

under threat from Bett. Can he hang on? Amos, Bett is second, Brazier

fourth and the youngster on the inside, the 20-year-old going

strongly. Bett in second place. Brazier in third. A quick one again.

Amos, Bett, Brazier. Steve, it is becoming a habit, the winning habits

and the way he is running, he takes it on. He lacked confidence at the

beginning of the season but in recent races he has set himself up

and gone for it. Not afraid to be at the front. He knows he has had good

times and he is building on it. He has taken out hard, inviting them to

go with him and when he knows he is as strong as this he knows he can

cope with that. He slows the third 200 and everything is, we have got

you and close in. Brazier had to make too much ground. You cannot set

off when the field is this good. A young guy, 20, the American, a

massive talent, who will get better. Bett is a massive talent, as well.

Amos then goes away. Comes into the home straight, the arms flailing.

The action we love. He has the ability, the strength that allows

him to do that, a hard way to run it, go out hard, slow, and go again.

Second round of the triple jump competition. Really a super split in

the middle, to give her the range. That is 14.21, following a 14.18, so

she starts off well. Kimberly Williams, a couple of times and

Olympic Games finalist, twice the World Championship finalist as well.

She was six in London, 14.48. Still going strong. Good balance. That is

roundabout 14.5. It's 14.31, 14.02, the second round is no job. Caterine

Ibarguen leads to Billy Williams, based in Birmingham, trains at Aston

Villa. Within two centimetres of the Olympic champion. Now Caterine

Ibarguen, round three. A massive middle phase from her. That's

better. Not as far as she wants. She knows that's an improvement though.

White flag, all right on the board. Very good indeed. A centimetre to

spare. The sort of range she has here, just maybe decelerated a

little bit. Holds it together so well.

Huge step there. Caterine Ibarguen, 14.51. There it is, Williams took

second, 14.31, Paraskevi Papachristou with the jump that you

saw. The world champion in the pole vault in action here, Shawn Barber.

Had no vault, his first Moult-macro. 5.40, the height he is attempting

here. Yes, well, Barber, that was his second attempt at 5.40. Won the

world title in Beijing. That looked a good clearance, actually. The

national champion again this year. He was fifth in Eugene, and third in

Paris, just to give you an update. But he did win the national title.

This fellow, well, his third and final attempt at 5.40, Raphael

Holzdeppe. He is world champion in 2013, silver-medallist in 2015, and

needs this. And he's got a! Let's say it was ragged! There was nothing

beautiful about that but the end result of a clearance. A third

attempt clearance. He's got a couple of failures that will work against

him, of course. He charged in there, desperation on the top. He left hold

of the poll and flowed over the top. It's a good clearance, he is capable

of so much more. Here's the Olympic champion, Thiago Braz. He's finding

it very tough to get back to the form we know he has. He's gone from

the competition. Remember, this is a man that cleared 6.03 in the Olympic

final and was a very surprise winner there. He's on home soil in Rio and

really performed well. You could see the potential there. He's got the

height. You just drops down onto the bar. The timing not quite right.

He's had his injuries and problems and is struggling to get back.

GABBY LOGAN: Next bit the men's 200 metres,

including Andre De Grasse, the Olympic silver-medallist. He

finished second to Usain Bolt in Rio and will be hoping to go one better

at next month's World Championships. Joining him at the start line is

Ameer Webb, who won the 200 metres at the USA outdoor track and Field

Championships last month, which resulted in qualification for

London. He'll be joined by Zharnel Hughes, who had a disappointing

fifth place finish at the Anniversary Games last weekend. Can

he hit form here on the tracking Rabat?

COMMENTATOR: We come to the men's 200 metres.

It's a tough one, as one would expect at this stage approaching a

major championships. With Andre De Grasse in the middle lane five.

Olympic silver-medallist, twice Olympic Games medallist and he

really is a man of the present and right inside him is Ameer Webb of

the United States. 20.09, won the trial at 20.09, into a headwind, so

that was pretty tough. This is Warren Weir Ross Jamaica. 27 now,

world champion silver-medallist in Moscow, third in the national

championships in Jamaica in 20.39. The men's 200 metres.

Away this time. Warren Weir got away well. Rasheed Dwyer going strong.

Andre De Grasse has a lot of work to do. Andre De Grasse charging through

the inside. He's going to take this one. He takes it in the end. He gets

it ahead of Ameer Webb, who really dominated on the bend. Powerful it's

a meeting record, 20.03, and he didn't have the best bend but his

transition was good and once he started to get into the straight he

looked so Boeing. He looked totally in control -- he looked so flowing.

He stood up to the pressure that a Web put on him, he came passed him

but it didn't faze him. He sat in and gradually worked his way to the

front and took it beautifully. Andre De Grasse, Ameer Webb and Zharnel

Hughes, what a good run he had from the inside. Yes, he did well in

League One. I'm going to be harsh, I'm waiting for something from Andre

De Grasse. We keep hearing how good he is. You want to see that some 20

consistency. He was very good at this point of the race, his best bit

of the race. He should have been in a better position coming off the

bend. Ameer Webb is in a great athlete, he hangs on to third spot.

A very good distance, Fred Kerley running brilliantly at 400 metres.

I'd like to see him dominate a bit more, Andre De Grasse. If he's to be

a gold medal contender, the one everyone is going to look to, saying

he's the man to beat, we want a bit more. Others are starting run

quicker 200 metres. 400-metre runners are running quicker. I want

him to step up. This time yet, it's the middle of July and he's probably

saying be patient, so let's be patient. Men's jump, early stages.

The long jump, of course, in such rude health. It's a cracking event.

It's dominated by the South Africans. This was the top man, but

no longer. Getting close to the eight-metre mark. I'm sure they'll

be wishing the number one in a world well, but they might think there's

an opportunity. Mokoena begins with 7.9 four. This is a real talent,

Lawson. An 8.50 jumper last year. A man who knows that on his day he can

take on anybody. Early stages here. Make the final in Rio, finished just

outside the medals in fourth. It was a night of big competition. Lawson,

just outside the medals. That's better. The Americans have so much

talent in the long jump, but at the minute the South Africans are

leading the way. Set them back a little bit. Is good to see a and

closed at 8.7 zero. This is world-class. But that's about an

eight-metre mark, isn't it, and we'll see what he's got. 7.9 nine.

-- 7.99 will stop here's Samaai. My goodness me, he really got on the

board. That was a good, powerful lift. Second in the national

championships behind another jumper. There is such a depth of talent in

South Africa. He's very powerful on the runway. Just a little hitch

kick, enough to eradicate the rotations in the air. What's he got?

It looks as though that's going to challenge the lead. 8.2 one. He rude

moves up the rankings, the first place.

The women are out for the 1500 metres, 14 athletes, one pacemaker

in there. Here's the lady in form, the Polish, Nelly Jepkosgei. Laura

Weightman run 4.1 this year. Very competitive women's 1500 metres

here. Away they go. Jenny Meadows in all blue on the outside will look to

come across and set the space for at least 800 metres, maybe up to 1000

metres. It looks like the Moroccan has slotted in quickly, Rababe

Arafi. Others are being stretched. Jenny has gone off pretty quick

through the first 200 metres. The crowd getting excited with Rababe

Arafi in second place. Nelly Jepkosgei moving up on the outside

as they come through 300 metres completed, three laps to go. It will

interesting to see what happens with Shannon Rowbury, she's a three times

Olympic Games finalist. Really, she has the credentials. 4.05 this

season. 4:01.61, I'll get it right, 4.0 161 this season, but she's a

3.56 competitor at very, very best and that was in 2015. Jenny Meadows

perfectly right on the nose, 63.4 for the first 400 metres. Tucked on

the inside is the fast finishing hole. -- Samaai. They need to make

sure the gap doesn't close. They are beginning to queue up there. Jenny

Meadows just watching to try to see if they can coax the field with her,

as they come round with two laps to go and a bit of a gap. She's wanting

to control the rest of the field, if you like. Yes, I guess they running

about 4.3, but it will speed up towards the end as we get into this

part of the race. The pace, Martinez now looking to get a little bit

closer upfront. Just looking at the way the fielders bunching, it might

have slowed a little bit down the back stretch. Its load on the second

lap and it's now slowed again. Laura Weightman of Great Britain itching

to go. They are bunching. Rabara because the traffic jam behind her,

didn't take the pace. Nelly Jepkosgei has moved up behind the

bridge. She's decided to stretch this out because they slowed right

down. Brenda Martinez, Shannon Rowbury trapped on the inside, so is

the Pole. Laura Weightman leading as they come round to take the bell but

they hole have chances here. Yes, let's see what sort of place there

on as they commented the bell at three minutes. I think this is going

to be quicker and if Laura Weightman can hang on then well, who knows,

but they are still all queueing up, it can go either way here as Judith

Kiyeng starts to move up and stay close order. The British champion,

Laura Weightman, stretching them out. Rababe Arafi trying to go past

on the back straight. The USA runner trying to close the gap. Nelly

Jepkosgei moving on the outside. They are looking to finish quickly

here. It's Rababe Arafi, the local athlete, in the front, then

Martinez, then Nelly Jepkosgei. Look at the crowd response to this.

Rababe Arafi attacking from the front, then Martinez, Weightman.

This is Angelika Cichocka doing what she always does. It's Angelika

Cichocka. 4.1 the winning time. They lost the time in the middle of the

race, came back strongly at the end and this is what this young lady has

become very good at. She's winning races. I remember doing this in

Stockholm last year and Angelika Cichocka is becoming a threat in

these races. She knew what she was doing and

Martinez was pretty well spent at this stage and Rababe Arafi, who led

for most of the race paid the penalty. Rababe Arafi went for it

and you would expect that in front of her home crowd. Get inspired is

the BBC Sport campaign to help you get active. You can find

inspirational stories from people like you as well as hints and guides

to help you give something a go. There is also an activity finder to

help you find something to try near you. Just get up, get inspired and

get active. The crowd are getting involved with

this. Listen to the crowd. Lovely. Very straightforward technique by

Berrabah. A Moroccan in front of his home crowd. What has he done? He hit

the board perfectly. That is as good as it gets. He has a lovely hand

technique. Gets the long position and that is an eight metres jump if

ever I saw one. Really attacks the board. He gets the lift. Once you

hit the board, how high can you jump? You get the length of the jump

from that. 8.14 for Berrabah. Jarrion Lawson of the USA. Lawson,

second round. That is a good one. That is huge from Lawson. He stands

up out of the pit as though that was, OK. I think that will challenge

the lead. He was fourth. 8.30 three. That is a season best for the

American. All of them legal jumps. The wind is not helping, completely

still. Rushawl Samaai. He is the man to challenge. 8.33 is the target.

Lovely. That is a good jump. That looked about the same. He is shy of

the board. Did not get as much of the board as the rested, well,

Lawson. Lovely. I think that will challenge the lead. 8.30 one. Two

centimetres down. 2.27 for Robbie Grabarz. That is nice. Looking in

nice form, Grabarz. Nice rhythm going into the bar. Tied for the

Olympic bronze medal in 2012. Not too far away in 2016. 2.20 seven.

Andriy Protsenko goes clear, as well. Three men clear. All going

clear at second attempt. It is a slightly odd setup for the high

jump, tucked up in the corner of the quadrant. Very close to the

finishing line, so they are kind of running towards the crowd. The crowd

are loving this, particularly with Gianmarco Tamberi, the Italian. He

has had a lot of injury problems which resulted in going to hospital

and he is gradually coming back. He is the European champion. Almost a

season's best for him. 2.18 and 2.20 in his previous competitions. 2.28

gave him hope. STUDIO: Elaine Thompson is looking

to build on her win at the London Anniversary Games. A time of 10.94

mean she is unbeaten in 2017 and even won with trainers rather than

spikes. Her main competitor to night. Blessing Okagbare. Great

Britain's Olympic relay bronze-medallist lines up, Neita.

She would need to run a season's best to stand a chance. The women's

100 metres. The double Olympic champion and all of those likely to

be here, there, or near the World Championship final. Okagbare six

times African champion. And Baptiste, we have not seen too much

of her. Seconded her national championships. This is one of the

better-known athletes over 100 and 200. The Olympic champion over 100

and 200, Elaine Thompson of Jamaica. Marie Hose said to -- Marie-Josee

Talou has been thereabouts. The women's 100 metres.

Thompson has a good start and Williams going well. Talou on the

near side and Thompson wins. Talou in second place and a photograph for

third. 10.80 seven. A new meeting record and my goodness, that was a

good race. It was for half of the race and then the burners went on

and Elaine Thompson, once again, shows the class she has when it

matters. She is only going to run the 100 in the World Championships,

we are told, so to emphasise on that race, the rest better watch out.

That is impressive. She has a 10.71 this season, but that was very

impressive. Did not get the greatest start. Williams of Jamaica got away

like a bullet. When it came to the race proper in the midfield, it was

Talou and once again Elaine Thompson. She gets a good start,

Thompson but Talou, going quicker in the middle of the race, then she

gets alongside and Thompson said, you are not winning this, I am going

away again. Good performance from Talou. I love Thompson, really, and

in full flow, still looking relaxed. Talou fighting a little bit.

Michelle-Lee Ahye coming through for third spot. They can see why

Thompson is the best in the world. 8.30 one. That looks better. A big

smile on his face. Challenging the 8.33 second round jump of Lawson.

Not sure what happened there. Samaai, lovely technique. Gets the

rotations, avoids the heavy rotation, and that will challenge.

8.35, he has gone into the lead. He was down by two centimetres and is

now up by two centimetres. Good performance. The American, what can

he do? The finalist in the long jump. Fourth in Rio with 8.20 five.

He has come on a bit since then. And that look good. He hit the board

well. He had been standing out there a long time and I do not have -- do

not know how much that took the edge off. A good hit on the board. He

struck it well. 8.17. That will not challenge the 835 lead. Good

competition, appreciated by the big crowd in the home straight. And

there is the result. 8.35 enough for Rushawl Samaai. The race on the far

side about to get under way is the 3000 steeplechase for men. El

Bakkali of Morocco could feature in this race. He has been going well

and won in Stockholm. Kipruto. Still not broken nine minutes. It might be

the time to have a go at it. If they are going to take this on, the field

will split early, I would think. The pace they were looking at was 2.38

for the first 1000. The pace going out very quickly. There was no clear

declaration who was taking the pace in this race. I think we can see

where it is going at the moment. Kipsang the second of the

pacemakers. And then the champion himself, Kipruto. Leading the field

at the back. Very interesting to see what happens now with Birech. He has

latched onto the back of the Olympic champion. 2.29, Robbie Grabarz. His

third and final attempt in the high jump. No, no, Robbie, he had that

problem in Shanghai and I spoke to him in Shanghai. He injured his

ankle and it was bruised and he said it took awhile to get it back and he

now needs one or two classy performances to set himself up for

the two classy performances to set himself up for the 2.30 advanced

jumps. This is the third and final for Gianmarco Tamberi. I think he is

European champion. He is. Not clear on that particular day. He has had

injuries and surgery. He is desperate to come back but the time

may be running out. With others at 2.38 closing in on 2.40, it might be

too much for him to come back. Andriy Protsenko is a 2.40 man at

his best and he has struggled this season. They are finding 2.29 a

stretch. Finally, somebody goes over. Andriy Protsenko, third

attempt, he takes the high jump competition on a little further. Not

much of it. His backside just scraping over it. Not the best

competition in terms of height achieved with only one man going

over to .20 nine. -- 2.20 nine. The third and final attempt. He needs

this badly. No. Of course, these events always end up in failure.

5.70, in second place. Pawel Wojciechowski in the lead. It is

good to see him coming back. He has had problems. World champion in

Moscow. A silver medal in Beijing in 2015. He is a good competitor in

championships, but he has had in form. Nothing positive in a

constructive way. Lisek next up. Nowhere near that, Piotr Lisek has

gone as well. The 5.75 is really finding them out.

Raphael Holzdeppe, 5.70 on the second attempt, but failed three

times at 5.7 five. Third attempt at 5.85, looking good, Pawel

Wojciechowski. He's got it. Brilliant piece of vaulting.

Just look at that again. Each charges down. Left-hander,

incidentally. Five point 85. He passed at 5.75, passed at 5.80, he'd

already won at 5.70, with Raphael Holzdeppe are taking two attempts.

That's an emphatic win, passing the two Heights, and taking a third

attempt at 5.8 five. That's a very, very good performance.

Leading the trailing group is a more secure Ruy. These two are now away.

They went through a slower lap. They went through in 5.24. The crowd are

getting into this. Two laps to go. Where he was hanging on, he's trying

to take the race by the scruff of the neck. Soufiane El Bakkali, he's

no slouch, but he's trying to run away and already two metres appears.

He looks very confident. He is gradually made up the difference. He

got behind him a bit but he gradually made up the distance and

it's between Soufiane El Bakkali and Gary is the code Ibehre. I wonder if

the home crowd can help them take this on. A musky Ruy -- Amos Victor

Riu is way off at the moment. They will speed a bit towards the end,

that's for sure. I wonder what Birech will do, attack on the water

jump? No. He's just got to be careful he doesn't get too carried

away too early. The crowd are going crazy! He's hurdling well, this is

the main thing. He's picking up distance off the barrier and he was

smart. On the water jump, attacked the Kenyans. He hears the bell. He

has a six or seven-metre lead and it's starting to look as though this

could be a massive victory in front of the home crowd here. Soufiane El

Bakkali leads. The 19-year-old Amos Kireev you in third place. Soufiane

El Bakkali was second in Rome, he won Stockholm, he's getting used to

winning. That's good news for the local crowd. My goodness me, the

crowd noise here is emphatic and he's moving away even further. A

fabulous, fabulous run by the Moroccan. He promised much and he's

delivering. Just over 100 metres to go! The celebrations, the personal

celebration begins. Let's watch the clock. His personal best is 8.0

five. He's looking very, very close. 8:05.13, a personal best, by four

one hundredths of a second. A personal best. Birech in second. It

was a competitive race, but I've no idea what happened to the reigning

Olympic and world champion. I've no idea what you said, it was so loud!

I couldn't hear anything! Raising the roof, Weller wasn't one, but had

there been one it would have disappeared. A personal best. If he

hadn't been waving to the crowd it could have been a bit more. A huge

performance. He's putting himself up there is real contender.

The women's 400-metre athletes out on the track, a great feel. There's

Caster Semenya, the Olympic champion at 800 metres. I'm told she is

looking for a very fast data grid in Monaco next week in a Diamond League

on Friday. This is an ideal way for her to sharpen up for that.

Cleanly away. Shaunae Miller-Uibo starting quickly. The Olympic

champion. Quinn are hate is chasing her down. Natasha Hastings, with the

long locks, in between the two of them. The Olympic champion is 23

years of age, trying to chase down on the outside. Quanera Hayes is

trying to get back into this. Caster Semenya miles behind. Shaunae

Miller-Uibo has a lead over the American. Look at this, Shaunae

Miller-Uibo goes away as Kwanda Hayes starts to sink. Surely Shaunae

Miller-Uibo, look at the time. It's not quite the world lead and it's

not even a seasoned's best for her. We'll wait to see what it gets

rounded down to. A couple of hundreds outside, it's a new meeting

record. What was impressive for me was she went out hard, certainly. By

going hard then it looked as though they might just start to make up a

little bit of inroad into the lead, but she went away again in the last

50 or 60 metres. Indeed, that was a very quick first 200 metres. She had

that 21.91 national record in Eugene over 200 and gives her confidence. I

think she was testing herself. By the time she got a 300, she had to

gain and then again, the margin of victory was what impressed me, not

just the time, but the margin of victory in their end ahead of

Hastings and Hayes, the two Americans.

Our last event on the track, the men's 3000 metres, 7.5 laps of the

track. Again this has been set up a little bit really, hoping for a home

win. We've already had one. The crowd noticing him on the big

screen. Safely away in this 3000 men's last

event. The two pacemakers are rating to get to the friend. They are

pushing and shoving. Oh, dear me. This lad gets ten out of ten for

enthusiasm! He's even having a fight with the pacemaker to get to the

front. They've set off at a fair lick. Way too quick, 28 seconds.

This is all for Iguider, hoping he will perform as he has in recent

years. His record at major championships is very good. He's

slotted in there. We will get a check at the first 400 metres. It

looks swift. We were looking for something about 60-61, and he went

through at 58 there. , maybe 59. The race is really on. Iguider takes on

Mechaal. The other Moroccan in the red and

green. The crowd is starting to get excited here. 500 metres left to

run. Iguider on the front. Trying to get back to close the gap that has

appeared with the top three. They come round take the bell. Iguider

leader. Bouqantar and a good position. Iguider is the favourite.

Bouqantar are still there. They are trying to close the gap, trying to

get in it. Struggling at this point. Look at Mechaal, the big kick.

Iguider Halsey Loft-macro, this is what he does well. Listen to the

crowd! The Spaniard has a look behind. Huygens see the two as they

start to move away. Iguider with a metre lead. He attacks again. The

crowd wants them and the ball away and Iguider will do that. Moving

away from Mechaal. It's going to be a consecutive victory for Iguider in

Rabat. Iguider over the years, it's stood him in such good stead, that

finishing burst. He can't take on Mo Farah and one Rojer of the others

but he still going to be a threat. 30 years of age. The man who, in

front of this sort of crowd, certainly producing a big

performance against. It is a seasoned's best for him, not as fast

as last year. A big personal best for Bouqantar. Personal bests for

quite a few of the athletes behind as Iguider takes the plaudits.

Iguider winning with the seasoned's best, lots of personal bests all the

way down to seven. That's quite impressive, most of it came on the

last lap. A big win for the home crowd. You know what they say,

points win prizes. There were plenty of prizes tonight. Mainly it was

confidence that was won. Eilidh Child third, Mitchell Blake said,

Laura Weightman force, but it was the win for CJ Ujjawal Ub that was

the most impressive, 9.9 take the cross of -- across a good field.

He's performing consistently well. We saw what a home crowd can do for

athletes' performances. When London comes around in a few weeks, there

will be British athletes who rise to a higher level than their world

rankings. GABBY LOGAN:
