:00:49. > :00:52.Welcome back to our Diamond League highlights, the second part of the

:00:53. > :01:15.Scandinavian double-header. Many of those athletes from Oslo

:01:16. > :01:16.have made the short journey to Stockholm so let's join your

:01:17. > :01:26.commentators. COMMENTATOR: The 400 metre hurdles

:01:27. > :01:30.first on the track, on the outside jack green of Great Britain, very

:01:31. > :01:36.close to the crowd, that is going to be hard, on the home straight, he is

:01:37. > :01:45.in good form, close to breaking 49 seconds in Prague. The 21-year-old

:01:46. > :01:48.Norwegian, former Decathlete, national record in 400 metres flat

:01:49. > :01:55.and the new national record in 400 metre hurdles the other night in

:01:56. > :02:04.Oslo. He is a real character. Has he recovered? Jackson's best goes all

:02:05. > :02:10.the way to 2005 but he has been in the mid 48's this year. The

:02:11. > :02:25.Estonian, silver-medallist in Zurich in 2014. Jackson, world champion

:02:26. > :02:29.back in 2005. Against a man who even the great Ed Moses said he's got the

:02:30. > :02:38.ability and the talent and just needs the experience, Warmholm in

:02:39. > :02:42.line seven. Safely away, Warmholm already taking have a metre, maybe

:02:43. > :02:51.an metre out of Jack Green, started very quickly. Jackson up, getting

:02:52. > :02:55.moving down the back straight, Warmholm who is there to be shot at

:02:56. > :03:01.has gone hard to the first 200 metres as he did in Oslo. He is

:03:02. > :03:03.leading the 400 metre hurdles around the top bend, the Norwegian very

:03:04. > :03:08.strong in the home straight and he will have to be year but Jackson

:03:09. > :03:12.must surely chase them down, Warmholm in the lead, not much in it

:03:13. > :03:17.at this point, Jackson makes a mistake, will he pay for that?

:03:18. > :03:24.Warmholm, Jack Green coming back into it, but Warmholm, winning it,

:03:25. > :03:35.very close. It wasn't quite as impressive as the

:03:36. > :03:39.other night, he does not look quite as tired but it is another win and

:03:40. > :03:47.it's underlining his potential you keep winning and then you become a

:03:48. > :03:52.medal contender. Two Diamond League wins in a row for the young

:03:53. > :03:55.Norwegian. Jackson could not do anything, horrible mistake coming

:03:56. > :04:02.into the home straight and that put paid to his chances. It dead and

:04:03. > :04:06.it's a shame because that has been, Jack Green having a good run on the

:04:07. > :04:11.outside, you could see Warmholm winning by a couple of metres and

:04:12. > :04:17.that's a great habit to have, home crowd advantage in Oslo but is not

:04:18. > :04:22.got that here. He's away from home and yet he takes are very, very good

:04:23. > :04:25.field pretty comfortably. Impressive. I am sure one or two

:04:26. > :04:37.might say conditions were pretty out there. Jack Green of Great Britain

:04:38. > :04:43.in fourth place. Jackson outside 50 seconds, poor from him. We can go

:04:44. > :04:51.over to the discus, Perez of Cuba, first-round throw, the wind right in

:04:52. > :04:56.their face. They do like it coming at them but slightly from the right.

:04:57. > :05:00.Should be able to take advantage of this. Fourth in the World

:05:01. > :05:05.Championships two years ago in Beijing and that is a fabulous

:05:06. > :05:13.opener from the 26-year-old. Second in Oslo only six athletes in this

:05:14. > :05:17.women's competition, they are alternating with the men's discus

:05:18. > :05:23.for which there are eight athletes so quite long gaps. That throws down

:05:24. > :05:33.the gauntlet to the Olympic champion.

:05:34. > :05:40.Speaking of the Olympic champion, here she goes, first round, betrayal

:05:41. > :05:49.Perez the other night and tell the latter stages in Oslo. Will want to

:05:50. > :05:55.start better today. If she was too win, it would be a 37th Diamond

:05:56. > :06:00.League win, she holds the record with 36, just cutting off that a

:06:01. > :06:07.little bit, Perkovic. Not far off, just below the early lead from

:06:08. > :06:11.Perez. I was watching the discus practice and it looks like they are

:06:12. > :06:16.much happier with the conditions, little bit of wind to help, looking

:06:17. > :06:19.for bigger distances, some good warming up and that's not a bad

:06:20. > :06:28.start for Perkovic but she is in second place.

:06:29. > :06:43.It's a bad battle building between the big pairing in the discus,

:06:44. > :06:50.Muller, World Championship silver-medallist in 2011, she is a

:06:51. > :06:55.huge character. One metre 93, six foot four. Fourth in Oslo with 62.90

:06:56. > :07:08.and that is so much better, around 66 metres. 65 .74 minutes into third

:07:09. > :07:14.place and a big smile and no wonder. Still to come, the 400 metres, can

:07:15. > :07:17.Rabah Yousif bring his good form to the Diamond League? Andrew Pozzi has

:07:18. > :07:21.another chance to test his form against some of the best in the

:07:22. > :07:25.world. Without casters are many out there will be a new winner of the

:07:26. > :07:30.women's 800 metres this season for the first time. And all the best

:07:31. > :07:40.from the field including the South African sensation Luvo Manyonga in

:07:41. > :07:48.the long jump. Some big chucks throws, this is the world number

:07:49. > :07:57.one, Dacres of Jamaica. How well this one go out? Very big indeed

:07:58. > :08:04.from Dacres, my oh my. It's out towards 67 metres. Very, very quick,

:08:05. > :08:06.he is only 23. Early in the developing years of a discus

:08:07. > :08:19.thrower, they can go well into their 30s. Elevates into the lead. The

:08:20. > :08:26.hometown favourite, Daniel Stahl, he lives and trains in Stockholm. It's

:08:27. > :08:35.turning into a great competition, they are Pepperami 67-metre line.

:08:36. > :08:39.Not much to choose between them, has he found enough to move into the

:08:40. > :08:44.lead? Daniel Stahl, great win in Oslo the other night, 67.34, takes

:08:45. > :09:03.the lead. Next to run on the track the women's

:09:04. > :09:12.300 metres, but next, third-round effort, he also takes advantage of

:09:13. > :09:16.this very favourable wind, big effort from Milanov. I think he has

:09:17. > :09:20.improved his season 's best yet further. Only a couple of

:09:21. > :09:29.centimetres less than an inch with that second-round effort. Very, very

:09:30. > :09:32.close to the lead. Less than a third of metres short of the Swede but

:09:33. > :09:45.still chance of home victory. The European champion back in 2014

:09:46. > :09:56.in Zurich, in pretty good form, great athlete. Watch our, three

:09:57. > :10:09.times Swedish champion, she has good strength.

:10:10. > :10:19.Gebru third in the world junior cross-country in 2011, still only

:10:20. > :10:23.25. The Ukrainian will be the first pacemaker as she so often is in

:10:24. > :10:28.these big Diamond League meetings, hoping to get to around three laps,

:10:29. > :10:37.then the Australian will take over and try to get them through to two

:10:38. > :10:46.kilometres bridge is quite a tall order especially in this wind. Let's

:10:47. > :10:55.see if they go with it. Rani 10,000 personal best, slots into third

:10:56. > :11:04.place behind. Single file almost straightaway. They are going to take

:11:05. > :11:16.the bell, four of them within a chance. They come through below us

:11:17. > :11:19.in third place the green shorts at the back of the pack just dropping

:11:20. > :11:30.away from them now as the pace begins to pick up. Disappointing

:11:31. > :11:34.form so far this year, no wonder she's struggling, they have not

:11:35. > :11:41.started kicking hard jet, but just beginning to wind it up, she has

:11:42. > :11:47.such long legs, Bahta, it's deceptive as she hits 200 metres,

:11:48. > :11:51.going so wide, almost room to get on her inside and they come around the

:11:52. > :11:56.ground of the bend and Bahta still doesn't have the gap she would like,

:11:57. > :12:01.Gebru on her shoulder looking strong, has got the temerity to move

:12:02. > :12:08.up onto her shoulder, kicking ahead into the straight, arms going hard,

:12:09. > :12:14.side-by-side bees two, Bahta getting the cheer from the home crowd, she

:12:15. > :12:26.gets a metre ahead and stays Anita Rani head as they reach the line.

:12:27. > :12:34.Would be a personal best, so much work done over the final four 500

:12:35. > :12:46.metres, what a shame, the opportunity of a quick time from

:12:47. > :12:52.very solid pacemaking. Let it slip. Reduced it to fairly run-of-the-mill

:12:53. > :12:59.race against the clock. Bahta having a bit more of a battle against the

:13:00. > :13:06.25-year-old Gebru. Then she might have expected. For athletes you

:13:07. > :13:11.look, endurance is good, good 1500 metre pace, I think she should be

:13:12. > :13:17.looking to run under 8.4 zero. 8.47 is OK but had to work so hard for

:13:18. > :13:22.it, managed to take out just enough of Gebru who is not top world-class

:13:23. > :13:26.Ethiopian runner but Gebru pushing her really hard. Maybe just went a

:13:27. > :13:33.bit too early, with the crowd helping came back.

:13:34. > :13:42.The other night in the discus in Oslo this man took an early lead and

:13:43. > :13:49.then saw it slip away from him. Fourth round, that one flying out

:13:50. > :14:00.there as well. That's very, very close to the lead. The lead still

:14:01. > :14:07.held by Daniel Stahl. But he knows that's close. 67.29, just five

:14:08. > :14:16.centimetres short, moves into a clear second place.

:14:17. > :14:23.Now, the big Jamaican, says he took up discus throwing when his brother

:14:24. > :14:30.was doing it and thought it looked good fun, he's got a bit of a group

:14:31. > :14:36.going and he is hoping to get more Jamaicans going. That's a cracking

:14:37. > :14:40.throw. This is warming up, the 23-year-old, personal best of 68.88

:14:41. > :14:47.set earlier this year and that will not be far-away. The world lead, not

:14:48. > :15:02.too far away from that either, it's his own world lead, 68.36 takes the

:15:03. > :15:09.lead. Fourth round, Dacres has it. Now, does not have the wrap victory

:15:10. > :15:15.wrapped up year but she is under a bit of pressure with Perez still

:15:16. > :15:20.leading, we are into the fifth round so Perkovic has two more attempts to

:15:21. > :15:26.not lose this incredible record. Almost losing her balance, hanging

:15:27. > :15:31.on. Right on the line, that's close. The line is just a guide, that is

:15:32. > :15:41.very close indeed. The lead held by Perez. Has Perkovic done what she

:15:42. > :15:46.did the other night? No! She works a bit disconsolate, I am sure at last

:15:47. > :15:54.round she might manage to improve but she will have to do, second

:15:55. > :16:09.place. Know the pole vault, Nicole Buchler. Just squeezed on the 455,

:16:10. > :16:14.4.65 for the Swiss. Living dangerously, hitting it with her

:16:15. > :16:22.legs and then the chest again. But that gives her the lead.

:16:23. > :16:41.Such a huge talent, this young Swede. Over a only five centimetres

:16:42. > :16:43.shy of her lifetime best. Plenty for the Swedish crowd to cheer about

:16:44. > :16:53.here. that is going to warm them up, isn't

:16:54. > :17:08.it? Only five centimetres short of the Swedish record. Bengtsson going

:17:09. > :17:15.well... That is nice! And celebrating well there, Peinado.

:17:16. > :17:21.That is three athletes now clear, remember, first time around, Buchler

:17:22. > :17:25.went clear, then Bengtsson, and now Peinado. But Silva failed her first

:17:26. > :17:34.attempt at this height. A couple more attempts. Back on the track, it

:17:35. > :17:39.is the men's 400 metres next, we have a very good field here, we have

:17:40. > :17:46.a late withdrawal, I think Matthew Hudson-Smith must have pulled out,

:17:47. > :17:51.the man who was going to be in is Thebe, he is going to be in lane

:17:52. > :17:57.five, and then you have Steven Cardno, really looking forward to

:17:58. > :18:03.seeing this tall and young Bohemian man. -- Steven Gardner. He began the

:18:04. > :18:12.season with a real bang back at home in the Caribbean. He now trains in

:18:13. > :18:15.Florida. We also have rubber use of, no Hudson-Smith, he was a late

:18:16. > :18:23.withdrawal, scheduled to run, he should have been outside this man

:18:24. > :18:30.here, but the one to watch is Steven Gardner, how quickly can he run in

:18:31. > :18:36.these conditions? Will he run down Thebe outside of him. Cleanly away,

:18:37. > :18:45.he began pretty slowly, and Thebe has gone really hard outside of him,

:18:46. > :18:47.we have the Botswanan going harder through the first 200. But Steven

:18:48. > :18:54.Gardiner, with that elegant action of his, storming down the back

:18:55. > :18:58.straight. Thebe needs to react but he cannot, Steven Gardiner is flying

:18:59. > :19:06.at the moment! Can he finish this off? In the home straight, a pretty

:19:07. > :19:10.big lead. Gardiner with his elegant stride, trying to get there. Thebe

:19:11. > :19:18.coming back, you may hold on, that is pretty tight, but Gardiner is

:19:19. > :19:27.going to win it, watch the clock. In third spot, we had Borlee. It looked

:19:28. > :19:33.at a canter, to be fair. I would love to know what he ran after the

:19:34. > :19:37.first 50 metres, round two, with 1.50 to go in that first section, he

:19:38. > :19:44.paid a little bit for that, I don't know if he judged it right but in

:19:45. > :19:47.these conditions, 34.58, the 400 metres is a cracking event, with the

:19:48. > :19:53.new world record holder, but Gardiner is a real talent. He is

:19:54. > :20:01.very fluid and slight, so then in the torso. He maintains form really

:20:02. > :20:04.well. -- he is so thin. The temptation is to really begin to

:20:05. > :20:08.grimace in the last few metres. Despite that pressure, he must be

:20:09. > :20:12.aware of Thebe through the corner of his eye. He looks relaxed as he

:20:13. > :20:19.crosses the line. The battle drew them well clear of the rest.

:20:20. > :20:26.Gardiner winning 34.5 eight. Ignore the Hudson-Smith result at the

:20:27. > :20:34.bottom, it was Yousif there. And finishing well, that was Borlee. The

:20:35. > :20:38.pressure is really on perturbation in the last round of the discus.

:20:39. > :20:45.This would have been her 37th Diamond League win, she has to find

:20:46. > :20:53.something here if she isn't to lose today, Perkovic. She is going after

:20:54. > :20:59.it and watching it... Now... How far was that, then? Perkovic is kind of

:21:00. > :21:07.celebrating there. Now... Did she stay in the circle? Very close to

:21:08. > :21:12.the lead there. I'm sure, it is coming up for us as a no throw. Look

:21:13. > :21:17.at the disappointment on her face, she does not like losing, it does

:21:18. > :21:24.not often happen to her. That is a big shock. The winner of the women's

:21:25. > :21:31.discus is Peres. Just waiting for the winter to ease off, it is

:21:32. > :21:36.blowing very strongly. -- Perez. -- waiting for the wind to ease off. A

:21:37. > :21:42.home straight tail wind is blowing in the opposite direction of our

:21:43. > :21:47.commentary position. No, out she goes. Silva finishes no better than

:21:48. > :21:52.fifth place today in Stockholm, a significant upset given the form of

:21:53. > :22:05.the recent weeks in the women's discus. Now, only Daniel store can

:22:06. > :22:16.deny Dacres victory. Daniel store, even Dacres. Needs to find it half a

:22:17. > :22:22.metre or so. Watch again, it has not taken flight -- Daniel Stahl. They

:22:23. > :22:25.cannot see that line that is superimposed on your screen. They

:22:26. > :22:31.think it is close but we can see it is not close enough. 66.95 in the

:22:32. > :22:40.previous round. Well, it is better, and improvement. 68.13, a good

:22:41. > :22:48.performance from the Swede. That will be second today. So, Stahl with

:22:49. > :22:54.a good effort in the last round. A big throw, but not good enough. That

:22:55. > :23:03.man there, Dacres, taking the win, 68.30 six. Back to the track, it is

:23:04. > :23:09.time for the men's steeplechase. The one who everyone will be watching is

:23:10. > :23:15.that tall figure there. A massive improvement, 8.05, a great race

:23:16. > :23:23.against his competitor in Rome, a new personal best there. In good

:23:24. > :23:33.form as well, another good run from him that night. Well down the field

:23:34. > :23:38.was Kowal, given the field we've got today, not filled with the same kind

:23:39. > :23:44.of talent. On his day, capable of running well. In the absence of the

:23:45. > :23:57.big Kenyan names, Bett with a personal best of 8.10. This is a

:23:58. > :24:01.young and emerging talent from Eritrea, Haileselassie, 19 years

:24:02. > :24:06.old, a silver medal at the Junior Championships last year, setting a

:24:07. > :24:10.personal best in Rome at 8.11. They have asked for a pretty good pace,

:24:11. > :24:14.and are hoping to get to two kilometres in about 5.22, giving

:24:15. > :24:20.them the chance to get into the low eight minutes. You can see these

:24:21. > :24:23.conditions, as we have said on more than one occasion, they are pretty

:24:24. > :24:31.tricky. The men's 3000 metres steeplechase. The pole vault once

:24:32. > :24:44.again... But first-time clearance, and here she goes again... It really

:24:45. > :24:48.affects your run-up, to get that rate, I was reading an article where

:24:49. > :24:57.she said she was working so hard on the technical aspects, is she heard?

:24:58. > :25:03.Let's just watch this. Maybe it was on her landing... She comes down.

:25:04. > :25:08.That is a shame for Bengtsson, appearing to be in the form of her

:25:09. > :25:13.life, clearing for metres 61 centimetres, that's a shame for her,

:25:14. > :25:22.I would be surprised if she manages to go again, the Swiss Buchler with

:25:23. > :25:26.her third attempt... Just running through there. It is so difficult,

:25:27. > :25:31.as I was saying, will in these windy conditions. It is on their back Law.

:25:32. > :25:36.It is really difficult to control the runner-up. The pole vault can be

:25:37. > :25:45.so dangerous, if you do not manage to do that. A season's best for her.

:25:46. > :25:54.Congratulations to Buchler. Look at this, almost climbing over that for

:25:55. > :25:59.me, El Bakkali looking tired, but with two laps to go, can he find

:26:00. > :26:03.something here? Six minutes left, he would have to find something

:26:04. > :26:07.sensational in the last 800 metres. Not quite, the barrier... The water

:26:08. > :26:12.jump is on the inside. I do not think he is in danger of losing this

:26:13. > :26:20.at all, time slips away a little. A good battle for second place. I am

:26:21. > :26:24.watching in third place you have Kowal, running three metres 36 down

:26:25. > :26:30.in Marseille, 40 steeplechase competitor, that is very good middle

:26:31. > :26:35.distance running. Eight minutes 15 seconds is a solid run, he has

:26:36. > :26:40.freshened up in the last ten days. We may yet see Kowal doing damage in

:26:41. > :26:49.the final lap and a half. They will be hoping to get close to eight

:26:50. > :26:54.metres ten, -- 8.10, Kowal. The group is a little further back, I do

:26:55. > :26:59.not think they have any chance of being in second or third year, the

:27:00. > :27:05.leader El Bakkali approaching the bell. A slow lap there. A round of

:27:06. > :27:11.66 seconds, may be slightly more? 67 or 68, Kowal is suddenly not running

:27:12. > :27:17.as strongly as he was, going back into third position, it is El

:27:18. > :27:21.Bakkali, setting out really hard. Two minutes and 39 seconds in the

:27:22. > :27:26.first kilometre, then two minutes 45 for his second. This is even slower.

:27:27. > :27:29.Haileselassie picking up down the back straight, I do not think he's

:27:30. > :27:35.in with a chance of catching the Moroccan, but he is moving away from

:27:36. > :27:39.Bett in third. And Kowal struggling in fourth, climbing over El Bakkali,

:27:40. > :27:49.very tired, the one permission quicker. This gap is too big. For

:27:50. > :27:57.Haileselassie. And in third place, Bett. Struggling in the water is

:27:58. > :28:02.Kowal. Into the home straight, you have El Bakkali. You saw Kowal

:28:03. > :28:07.almost stopping in the water. It is a good win for him. The entire last

:28:08. > :28:11.800 metres, after going so quickly in the beginning. The time is going

:28:12. > :28:16.to be about eight minutes 15 seconds, slightly after.

:28:17. > :28:23.Haileselassie in second place, and hanging on for third spot, you have

:28:24. > :28:28.Bett. The winner is El Bakkali with eight minutes 15 seconds. You need

:28:29. > :28:32.these hard races, El Bakkali is one step closer to his best form.

:28:33. > :28:37.Comfortable with that time, even if he did slow a little bit through the

:28:38. > :28:43.final third. That is the result. Winning by three seconds in the end,

:28:44. > :28:58.El Bakkali, Haileselassie doing well in second, and in third Bett.

:28:59. > :29:29.the athletes on the track and stripped down, ready for the women's

:29:30. > :29:34.200 metres, and Dean lane six, you have the silver-medallist in the

:29:35. > :29:47.World Championships in the 100 and 200 back in 2013, 29 years old now,

:29:48. > :29:57.and second in Oslo in lane five, you have Lalova-Collio. The three times

:29:58. > :30:02.Europe and under 23 champion, the German Haase, a good draw for her,

:30:03. > :30:10.22 minutes 58 is her season's best. Garcia is still Garcia from Spain.

:30:11. > :30:18.The champion goes in lane three. Most recently 23.18 was a win and

:30:19. > :30:21.crystal Emanuel of Canada, seven in Rio. If she is ever present in their

:30:22. > :30:44.squad, a second leg athlete. Very quickly into her

:30:45. > :30:50.running. Third from left, my word, Ahoure tears around the bend. Haase,

:30:51. > :30:54.the German, in second place, good running from Crystal Emanuel, the

:30:55. > :30:59.Canadian. A strong brand, Haase comes back towards Ahoure, who has

:31:00. > :31:03.been caught, reeling in. Emanuel is very tight indeed, goodness me! It

:31:04. > :31:09.is difficult to separate, 1.1 is the wind behind them. 22.69 is the time.

:31:10. > :31:19.The flowers go to Ahoure, it was very close indeed, I would not want

:31:20. > :31:22.to be responsible for saying it was definitely Ahoure. She does get it,

:31:23. > :31:25.by a 100th of a second, a season's best for the Ivory Coast national.

:31:26. > :31:31.That was some handicap, running a superb straight to take second

:31:32. > :31:35.place, 22.69, a personal best. Haase with 22.70 six. A personal best, not

:31:36. > :31:41.far behind. Clearly conditions there are pretty good for the 200-metre

:31:42. > :31:45.runner is at least. No surprise that Ahoure gets out hard, a good starter

:31:46. > :31:52.and running a good bend. Lacking a little bit into the home straight.

:31:53. > :31:59.As you said, Emanuel was close, watch this... I would love to Ahoure

:32:00. > :32:02.but you get the feeling that in the last five metres, Emanuel tightened

:32:03. > :32:05.up a little bit, Ahoure did not lean much. Not much in it, 100th of a

:32:06. > :32:23.second. There you go. Olympic silver-medallist Luvo

:32:24. > :32:32.Manyonga has already jumped over eight metres .604 times this year,

:32:33. > :32:36.he set a Diamond League records and he's 11th on the all-time list, the

:32:37. > :32:41.men's long jump world record does not change hands very often but if

:32:42. > :32:46.anyone can challenge the 26-year-old mark of 8.95, Luvo Manyonga could be

:32:47. > :32:50.the man. Rigadin de Beauchene a first look at one of the big stars

:32:51. > :32:57.of the meeting and world athletics at the moment, Luvo Manyonga of

:32:58. > :33:02.South Africa. Beautiful running action, already off to a cracking

:33:03. > :33:07.start, everyone else struggling to get over eight metres and he puts

:33:08. > :33:11.one out there early on, incredible story, world junior champion and his

:33:12. > :33:17.life started to unravel. Drug addiction resulting in him failing a

:33:18. > :33:22.drug test, 18 month ban and taken a while to get his life back in order

:33:23. > :33:31.but goodness me what a talent and he is fulfilling it now. The wind 3.3

:33:32. > :33:37.so it's picking up, swirling all the time.

:33:38. > :33:49.Was the leader, going out to a good effort as well, Samaai. He was

:33:50. > :34:19.following his team-mates, I The Long Jump already hotting up.

:34:20. > :34:25.Moves him into second place. Great line up for the men's 110 metre

:34:26. > :34:30.hurdles. Andrew Pozzi of Great Britain, good performance, decent

:34:31. > :34:41.performance in Rome. Orlando Ortega was second on that night. The

:34:42. > :34:44.Olympics over medallist. Sergey Shubenkov felt that Andrew Pozzi

:34:45. > :34:49.twitched and did not get a good start himself but still finished

:34:50. > :35:03.third, then we have got Manga of France.

:35:04. > :35:10.The wind might be helping slightly, but more of the left shoulder as you

:35:11. > :35:25.look, the men's 110 metres hurdles. False start. Looked pretty even to

:35:26. > :35:29.me. Just waiting for it to come up, it looks like Andrew Pozzo. --

:35:30. > :35:41.Andrew Pozzi disqualified, a massive

:35:42. > :35:50.disappointment for him, he has never raced here in Stockholm and he will

:35:51. > :35:51.not be racing tonight. That leaves the way clear a little bit for

:35:52. > :36:06.Ortega. Finally away safely, Ortega stayed

:36:07. > :36:11.in the blocks, Shubenkov started better, Brathwaite running his own

:36:12. > :36:16.race, Shubenkov starting well, Ortega having to fight, that is

:36:17. > :36:20.close, Shubenkov might have hung on. Very tight on the line. Looking at

:36:21. > :36:27.each other and then up at the screen. Very close, Shubenkov

:36:28. > :36:31.definitely with leading most of the race, Ortega came back and came off

:36:32. > :36:39.the last hurdle well and may have snatched it. It's been given to him

:36:40. > :36:43.by 100th of a second, the Olympic silver-medallist. I said he would

:36:44. > :36:50.have to snatch it and that's exactly what he did. I suspect the

:36:51. > :36:59.difference was into the thousands between the two of them. Given the

:37:00. > :37:03.histrionics of the start, he snatched win for Ortega. Yes, I

:37:04. > :37:07.thought he had got it on the depth but all credit to Shubenkov who has

:37:08. > :37:11.had such a delayed start to his season. Does everything he can but

:37:12. > :37:26.Ortega very quick over the final barrier. Still down but look at the

:37:27. > :37:30.run in, gets the better lean in. That for Ortega very encouraging

:37:31. > :37:40.indeed, he's in such good form, will probably go to London at favourite

:37:41. > :37:48.at this rate. The bar are now at 1.94, the Polish world indoor high

:37:49. > :37:55.jump champion two years ago. Seasons best of 1.96 service will test tar,

:37:56. > :38:00.a 1.99 jump in her life, that was 2013, her personal best, that is

:38:01. > :38:06.beautiful, lovely clearance and she knows it. If she can watch the

:38:07. > :38:10.replay and fire up, psychologically demanding but that will give her a

:38:11. > :38:24.massive boost she was well over that. Nice, maintains her perfect

:38:25. > :38:28.card, shares the lead at the moment with Skoog of Sweden. You she is,

:38:29. > :38:35.this is her first attempt at 1.9 four. She also has a perfect card up

:38:36. > :38:50.to this point, she came in at 1.80 and cleared it first-time.

:38:51. > :39:00.That's nice to, yes. I don't know if they have got the wind behind them,

:39:01. > :39:13.I think they have. Down the middle of the stadium. Skoog over 1.94

:39:14. > :39:17.cannot hold back the tears, it equals her personal best set in Rio

:39:18. > :39:25.last year. No wonder she's crying with joy. She was seventh in Rio.

:39:26. > :39:37.1.86 was all she managed a few days ago. 1.85 in Rio. Where has she

:39:38. > :39:44.found that form? Lasitskene, authorised mutual athlete, that

:39:45. > :39:49.means she is Russian. World champion from Beijing. Total weight

:39:50. > :39:56.dominating the scene at the moment, this is her third Diamond League

:39:57. > :40:05.high jump competition, winning in Eugene and Rome. She maintains her

:40:06. > :40:11.perfect card, first-time clearance. Three athletes over first time. The

:40:12. > :40:20.men's 1500 metres the next race on the track, containing several men

:40:21. > :40:26.looking for a good mid-season form. None of them have really hit the

:40:27. > :40:39.straps yet this year. The third fastest man in history, Kiprop.

:40:40. > :40:44.Three times world champion also the Olympic champion in Beijing 2008,

:40:45. > :40:49.only third in the Kenyan Championships last weekend 's. The

:40:50. > :41:04.world number one, what a talent the Bahraini inside got. 3.31

:41:05. > :41:18.won the Kenyan Championships last weekend in Nairobi, tactical race.

:41:19. > :41:26.Good field in the men's 1500 metres, heading off down the back straight.

:41:27. > :41:32.As wand, so often Kiprop in the slowest away, moves around the

:41:33. > :41:42.outside. Mikhou it will be fascinating to see him go. The world

:41:43. > :41:57.number one into fourth place as we looked at them now. Looks on the

:41:58. > :42:03.quicker side, the meeting record 3.29. This is interesting, Mikhou,

:42:04. > :42:09.he absolutely destroyed the field in the last 300 metres off a fast pace

:42:10. > :42:13.against Kiprop who by his own admission, not fully fit, said he

:42:14. > :42:17.needed to lose weight, I think he meant he needed a haircut, not

:42:18. > :42:24.losing weight. Says he's coming back into form but I am 70-80% which is

:42:25. > :42:28.all I need for the trials. Interesting to see if he will give

:42:29. > :42:53.Mikhou something to think about, the Bahraini and, formerly Moroccan.

:42:54. > :43:02.Tough call for a youngster like that to be thrown into the deep end,

:43:03. > :43:07.going through a two laps to run. The pacemakers leading them around,

:43:08. > :43:11.still in third place, with Mikhou the world number one, the mystery

:43:12. > :43:17.man, I had hardly heard of him prior to this year in fourth place.

:43:18. > :43:21.Interesting to see now in this middle section of the race what

:43:22. > :43:30.Kiprop although, will he move up towards the big names? Having a jog

:43:31. > :43:34.around this morning, may well be that is helping, not in great form

:43:35. > :43:38.himself but as the pacemakers start to falter you want somebody out

:43:39. > :43:47.there or he has found himself a leading. Mikhou gathering, Cheruiyot

:43:48. > :43:54.will always be dangerous and he's in with a chance. Without Kiprop, needs

:43:55. > :44:10.to get closer to Mikhou, Mikhou is very fast. Mikhou had a glance over

:44:11. > :44:19.his shoulder, this close bunch. Now the big kick goes and vicious going

:44:20. > :44:24.from Cheruiyot. Mikhou chasing hard, Cheruiyot grabbed a couple of metres

:44:25. > :44:31.and Mikhou was slow to respond, the Bahraini in and world number one,

:44:32. > :44:42.Kiprop looks beaten unless he can find some special legs, Cheruiyot,

:44:43. > :44:45.has the Bahraini got the speed, Cheruiyot continues to kick hard,

:44:46. > :44:49.driving hard with the arms and pulling away from the fastest man in

:44:50. > :44:58.the world this year, it's a big victory, the time is a world best

:44:59. > :45:05.for this year, 54.39, so much of it down to Cheruiyot blasting away from

:45:06. > :45:12.the grip with about 270 metres never got back on terms. Just 21 years

:45:13. > :45:18.old, won the Kenyan national championship in Nairobi last week

:45:19. > :45:23.which was an indication there was something special and he produces a

:45:24. > :45:30.world leading win. Big names behind him. He's a huge talent, has not

:45:31. > :45:34.always judged his effort well in races. I have seen him running in

:45:35. > :45:37.the relay championships and maybe not doing quite as well but other

:45:38. > :45:44.occasions you see the talent he has got. Kiprop knew it, beaten by him

:45:45. > :45:48.in the Kenyan Championships, the Kenyan trials will be interesting

:45:49. > :45:53.but this is something different, he attacked it with 300 metres to go

:45:54. > :45:57.and that is what took Mikhou by surprise, you cannot say he did not

:45:58. > :46:03.run well, fast time in second place but that was all about Cheruiyot.

:46:04. > :46:10.The surge down the backstreet was so extreme, you would understand if it

:46:11. > :46:16.was a 3.35 race, but 3.30, winning it for Cheruiyot, Mikhou in second

:46:17. > :46:21.place. And the seasons best from the Ethiopian in third. Progress for

:46:22. > :46:31.Kiprop hand angry. When the gloves come off and she

:46:32. > :46:38.gives it full power she blasts over it, look at that. The arrogance on

:46:39. > :46:41.the face, that's required when you need to be on top in this event,

:46:42. > :46:48.mentally. No celebration. It's all done with a matter-of-fact

:46:49. > :47:07.demeanour. Manyonga... Eight 36, both of those

:47:08. > :47:12.will win. Bizarrely, somewhat, he has had two strongest gusts of wind

:47:13. > :47:17.in those rounds, and he ran through on his third round. This is his

:47:18. > :47:23.fourth round jump. Another big effort, he is making eight metres.

:47:24. > :47:29.Looking easy indeed. His last six or eight years on the global scene, the

:47:30. > :47:35.long jump has not gone through the main scene. Greg Rutherford has

:47:36. > :47:38.jumped with enormous consistency to become the Olympic world European

:47:39. > :47:43.and Commonwealth champion, but Manyonga may well be the future of

:47:44. > :47:50.this discipline. 8.33 in round four. Still does not have much of a gap

:47:51. > :47:57.over his compatriot who jumped 8.29 in the second round, Samaai. The

:47:58. > :48:02.world indoor champion back in 2014, Licwinko. She seems to fly over it,

:48:03. > :48:08.really. A good clearance for her. That puts her into second place.

:48:09. > :48:12.Third time clearance of 1.97, not looking like she would be able to do

:48:13. > :48:17.it. She should have checked, going in. But, she is clear. As she has

:48:18. > :48:26.been all year, Lasitskene looking way better than everyone else. Here,

:48:27. > :48:32.you have Juska. On the long jump, two South AfricanLaw doing well.

:48:33. > :48:43.That is better from him. Juska around eight metres, a

:48:44. > :48:47.silver-medallist back in 2015. Very tall. Finishes that well. Good on

:48:48. > :48:55.the board. Not as quick as a couple of the others on the runway. He has

:48:56. > :48:58.two jumped 8.2 nine. Eight metres nine centimetres, continuing his

:48:59. > :49:09.good form moving him into third place behind Manyonga and Samaai. On

:49:10. > :49:14.the BBC sport website, you can find inspirational stories from people

:49:15. > :49:18.just like you, as well as hints, tips, and 70 practical guides to

:49:19. > :49:21.help you give something a go! There's also an activity finder to

:49:22. > :49:34.help you find something to try near you! Get up, get inspired and get

:49:35. > :49:40.active! We go straight from the field to the

:49:41. > :49:48.track. All eyes here are on De Grasse in this 100 metres. The

:49:49. > :49:52.Olympic silver-medallist at 200. His aim is to be too same boat before he

:49:53. > :49:58.retires, he better hurry up, a couple of months in which to do it.

:49:59. > :50:04.Bold retires to this to season to is to how to and in in four you have De

:50:05. > :50:14.Grasse. Away they go, De Grasse leading, a

:50:15. > :50:31.marginally good through with her. Look at the time, 9.70, the win plus

:50:32. > :50:39.48. A monstrous gale behind them.

:50:40. > :50:43.That does not bounce off sufficiently, the fact that the wind

:50:44. > :50:50.was pretty much a hurricane behind the Canadian. De Grasse, what a

:50:51. > :50:57.shame that the wind was so strong. Plus two, we would have seen them go

:50:58. > :51:00.a long way under ten seconds. A bit of fun to move your legs back

:51:01. > :51:05.quickly but the wind makes it academic. It really picked up as

:51:06. > :51:10.they went into their set position, you felt a strong gust, he finished

:51:11. > :51:15.strongly, Meite held him to 80 metres. He carried on strong to the

:51:16. > :51:20.finish. He will be happy. He is in decent form. He does not need to be

:51:21. > :51:25.flying out. Winning races is important. He won the other day, he

:51:26. > :51:36.has won again here. He probably had a strong wind on his back, not too

:51:37. > :51:38.excited as he crossed the line. A clear win, importantly, in the end.

:51:39. > :51:46.Shields had to run the race to get into the final and finished in

:51:47. > :51:54.third. 8.20 in that round for Manyonga. The perfect card so far

:51:55. > :51:59.for the Russian competitor... Yes! Beautiful, really fluid. No jerks,

:52:00. > :52:06.not power -based, a lot of speed, and a good power to eight ratio,

:52:07. > :52:17.generating enormous speed. The strength comes in converting that

:52:18. > :52:28.horizontal position. Finishing in the next position, Licwinko.

:52:29. > :52:39.Manyonga in the men's long jump. This is the concluding jump of the

:52:40. > :52:44.contest, he has won it. Not a particularly... Ooh, I don't know.

:52:45. > :52:49.As he hurt himself? That was a big effort. It didn't look far behind

:52:50. > :52:57.the superimpose line in the sand at 8.36, it might have been an 8.30

:52:58. > :53:03.job. As the South African tweet something? He always lands... Watch

:53:04. > :53:07.this. -- tweaked something. He is always heading for something like

:53:08. > :53:15.that happening. He is always twisting. He always lands awkwardly.

:53:16. > :53:20.This is the top long jumper in the world, jumping further than anyone

:53:21. > :53:23.has for years. Let's hope he hasn't injured himself, it would be a shame

:53:24. > :53:32.if he was not to be at London. Hopefully he is OK. Onto the last

:53:33. > :53:36.track event. This will be the women's 800 metres, looking for a

:53:37. > :53:44.bit of local interest in terms of Lovisa Lindh, who ran very well in

:53:45. > :53:50.Oslo the other night, and Lynsey Sharp is improving. Here is Lovisa

:53:51. > :53:57.Lindh. A big cheer, fast improving young athlete, the Olympic

:53:58. > :54:06.silver-medallist world indoor champion, Niyonsaba, she is in lane

:54:07. > :54:16.six, and sharing lane six with the Cuban Almanza. Again, a couple of

:54:17. > :54:21.the numbers are blowing over, the wind is playing havoc with the

:54:22. > :54:25.afternoon's athletics. Gust paw all the time, in the back, they are

:54:26. > :54:31.getting some shelter, murder is struggling to get to the front, she

:54:32. > :54:39.seems to be managing OK, pretty experienced at this now, you have

:54:40. > :54:52.Niyonsaba, wearing her arm sleeves. Jenny Meadows takes them through at

:54:53. > :54:56.around 28 or so, which is OK. Almanza leaving quickly at the

:54:57. > :55:02.start. No Caster Semenya, but Niyonsaba is a difficult athlete to

:55:03. > :55:06.beat. I do fancy Melissa Bishop, she has been very determined, the

:55:07. > :55:20.28-year-old Canadian, to get among the big three who took the medals in

:55:21. > :55:27.embryo. -- who took the medals in Rio. They are all lining up, Lynsey

:55:28. > :55:33.Sharp makes a move down the back straight, watch out for Buchel,

:55:34. > :55:37.finishing quickly. Niyonsaba, to be shot at, they are all queueing up at

:55:38. > :55:42.the moment. Melissa Bishop looking for room, trying to squeeze Almanza.

:55:43. > :55:48.They are slowing down, giving the others a chance, Buchel in the back

:55:49. > :55:55.of Hinriksdottir. About Lynsey Sharp comes out on the outside, the Swede

:55:56. > :55:57.is moving into third. The Olympic silver-medallist, Almanza, Lovisa

:55:58. > :56:02.Lindh trying to find something here. They are all struggling. Buchel will

:56:03. > :56:06.finish quickly. But Niyonsaba getting daylight between her and the

:56:07. > :56:11.others, Lovisa Lindh is trying to chase her down. Not going to get

:56:12. > :56:20.there, Niyonsaba will won it. Lovisa Lindh in second, Bishop rallied and

:56:21. > :56:26.finished quickly. They were trying to get Lovisa Lindh into first

:56:27. > :56:31.position. Trying to will her towards a new Swedish record but not the

:56:32. > :56:38.case. She will have missed that, the winner was Niyonsaba in 1:59.1. They

:56:39. > :56:42.were all struggling really. I know that it is windy and it is tough,

:56:43. > :56:46.but Niyonsaba was stronger than everyone else. You are right, that
