Stockholm Highlights Athletics: IAAF Diamond League

Welcome back to our Diamond League highlights, the second part of the

Scandinavian double-header. Many of those athletes from Oslo

have made the short journey to Stockholm so let's join your

commentators. COMMENTATOR: The 400 metre hurdles

first on the track, on the outside jack green of Great Britain, very

close to the crowd, that is going to be hard, on the home straight, he is

in good form, close to breaking 49 seconds in Prague. The 21-year-old

Norwegian, former Decathlete, national record in 400 metres flat

and the new national record in 400 metre hurdles the other night in

Oslo. He is a real character. Has he recovered? Jackson's best goes all

the way to 2005 but he has been in the mid 48's this year. The

Estonian, silver-medallist in Zurich in 2014. Jackson, world champion

back in 2005. Against a man who even the great Ed Moses said he's got the

ability and the talent and just needs the experience, Warmholm in

line seven. Safely away, Warmholm already taking have a metre, maybe

an metre out of Jack Green, started very quickly. Jackson up, getting

moving down the back straight, Warmholm who is there to be shot at

has gone hard to the first 200 metres as he did in Oslo. He is

leading the 400 metre hurdles around the top bend, the Norwegian very

strong in the home straight and he will have to be year but Jackson

must surely chase them down, Warmholm in the lead, not much in it

at this point, Jackson makes a mistake, will he pay for that?

Warmholm, Jack Green coming back into it, but Warmholm, winning it,

very close. It wasn't quite as impressive as the

other night, he does not look quite as tired but it is another win and

it's underlining his potential you keep winning and then you become a

medal contender. Two Diamond League wins in a row for the young

Norwegian. Jackson could not do anything, horrible mistake coming

into the home straight and that put paid to his chances. It dead and

it's a shame because that has been, Jack Green having a good run on the

outside, you could see Warmholm winning by a couple of metres and

that's a great habit to have, home crowd advantage in Oslo but is not

got that here. He's away from home and yet he takes are very, very good

field pretty comfortably. Impressive. I am sure one or two

might say conditions were pretty out there. Jack Green of Great Britain

in fourth place. Jackson outside 50 seconds, poor from him. We can go

over to the discus, Perez of Cuba, first-round throw, the wind right in

their face. They do like it coming at them but slightly from the right.

Should be able to take advantage of this. Fourth in the World

Championships two years ago in Beijing and that is a fabulous

opener from the 26-year-old. Second in Oslo only six athletes in this

women's competition, they are alternating with the men's discus

for which there are eight athletes so quite long gaps. That throws down

the gauntlet to the Olympic champion.

Speaking of the Olympic champion, here she goes, first round, betrayal

Perez the other night and tell the latter stages in Oslo. Will want to

start better today. If she was too win, it would be a 37th Diamond

League win, she holds the record with 36, just cutting off that a

little bit, Perkovic. Not far off, just below the early lead from

Perez. I was watching the discus practice and it looks like they are

much happier with the conditions, little bit of wind to help, looking

for bigger distances, some good warming up and that's not a bad

start for Perkovic but she is in second place.

It's a bad battle building between the big pairing in the discus,

Muller, World Championship silver-medallist in 2011, she is a

huge character. One metre 93, six foot four. Fourth in Oslo with 62.90

and that is so much better, around 66 metres. 65 .74 minutes into third

place and a big smile and no wonder. Still to come, the 400 metres, can

Rabah Yousif bring his good form to the Diamond League? Andrew Pozzi has

another chance to test his form against some of the best in the

world. Without casters are many out there will be a new winner of the

women's 800 metres this season for the first time. And all the best

from the field including the South African sensation Luvo Manyonga in

the long jump. Some big chucks throws, this is the world number

one, Dacres of Jamaica. How well this one go out? Very big indeed

from Dacres, my oh my. It's out towards 67 metres. Very, very quick,

he is only 23. Early in the developing years of a discus

thrower, they can go well into their 30s. Elevates into the lead. The

hometown favourite, Daniel Stahl, he lives and trains in Stockholm. It's

turning into a great competition, they are Pepperami 67-metre line.

Not much to choose between them, has he found enough to move into the

lead? Daniel Stahl, great win in Oslo the other night, 67.34, takes

the lead. Next to run on the track the women's

300 metres, but next, third-round effort, he also takes advantage of

this very favourable wind, big effort from Milanov. I think he has

improved his season 's best yet further. Only a couple of

centimetres less than an inch with that second-round effort. Very, very

close to the lead. Less than a third of metres short of the Swede but

still chance of home victory. The European champion back in 2014

in Zurich, in pretty good form, great athlete. Watch our, three

times Swedish champion, she has good strength.

Gebru third in the world junior cross-country in 2011, still only

25. The Ukrainian will be the first pacemaker as she so often is in

these big Diamond League meetings, hoping to get to around three laps,

then the Australian will take over and try to get them through to two

kilometres bridge is quite a tall order especially in this wind. Let's

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

place behind. Single file almost straightaway. They are going to take

the bell, four of them within a chance. They come through below us

in third place the green shorts at the back of the pack just dropping

away from them now as the pace begins to pick up. Disappointing

form so far this year, no wonder she's struggling, they have not

started kicking hard jet, but just beginning to wind it up, she has

such long legs, Bahta, it's deceptive as she hits 200 metres,

going so wide, almost room to get on her inside and they come around the

ground of the bend and Bahta still doesn't have the gap she would like,

Gebru on her shoulder looking strong, has got the temerity to move

up onto her shoulder, kicking ahead into the straight, arms going hard,

side-by-side bees two, Bahta getting the cheer from the home crowd, she

gets a metre ahead and stays Anita Rani head as they reach the line.

Would be a personal best, so much work done over the final four 500

metres, what a shame, the opportunity of a quick time from

very solid pacemaking. Let it slip. Reduced it to fairly run-of-the-mill

race against the clock. Bahta having a bit more of a battle against the

25-year-old Gebru. Then she might have expected. For athletes you

look, endurance is good, good 1500 metre pace, I think she should be

looking to run under 8.4 zero. 8.47 is OK but had to work so hard for

it, managed to take out just enough of Gebru who is not top world-class

Ethiopian runner but Gebru pushing her really hard. Maybe just went a

bit too early, with the crowd helping came back.

The other night in the discus in Oslo this man took an early lead and

then saw it slip away from him. Fourth round, that one flying out

there as well. That's very, very close to the lead. The lead still

held by Daniel Stahl. But he knows that's close. 67.29, just five

centimetres short, moves into a clear second place.

Now, the big Jamaican, says he took up discus throwing when his brother

was doing it and thought it looked good fun, he's got a bit of a group

going and he is hoping to get more Jamaicans going. That's a cracking

throw. This is warming up, the 23-year-old, personal best of 68.88

set earlier this year and that will not be far-away. The world lead, not

too far away from that either, it's his own world lead, 68.36 takes the

lead. Fourth round, Dacres has it. Now, does not have the wrap victory

wrapped up year but she is under a bit of pressure with Perez still

leading, we are into the fifth round so Perkovic has two more attempts to

not lose this incredible record. Almost losing her balance, hanging

on. Right on the line, that's close. The line is just a guide, that is

very close indeed. The lead held by Perez. Has Perkovic done what she

did the other night? No! She works a bit disconsolate, I am sure at last

round she might manage to improve but she will have to do, second

place. Know the pole vault, Nicole Buchler. Just squeezed on the 455,

4.65 for the Swiss. Living dangerously, hitting it with her

legs and then the chest again. But that gives her the lead.

Such a huge talent, this young Swede. Over a only five centimetres

shy of her lifetime best. Plenty for the Swedish crowd to cheer about

here. that is going to warm them up, isn't

it? Only five centimetres short of the Swedish record. Bengtsson going

well... That is nice! And celebrating well there, Peinado.

That is three athletes now clear, remember, first time around, Buchler

went clear, then Bengtsson, and now Peinado. But Silva failed her first

attempt at this height. A couple more attempts. Back on the track, it

is the men's 400 metres next, we have a very good field here, we have

a late withdrawal, I think Matthew Hudson-Smith must have pulled out,

the man who was going to be in is Thebe, he is going to be in lane

five, and then you have Steven Cardno, really looking forward to

seeing this tall and young Bohemian man. -- Steven Gardner. He began the

season with a real bang back at home in the Caribbean. He now trains in

Florida. We also have rubber use of, no Hudson-Smith, he was a late

withdrawal, scheduled to run, he should have been outside this man

here, but the one to watch is Steven Gardner, how quickly can he run in

these conditions? Will he run down Thebe outside of him. Cleanly away,

he began pretty slowly, and Thebe has gone really hard outside of him,

we have the Botswanan going harder through the first 200. But Steven

Gardiner, with that elegant action of his, storming down the back

straight. Thebe needs to react but he cannot, Steven Gardiner is flying

at the moment! Can he finish this off? In the home straight, a pretty

big lead. Gardiner with his elegant stride, trying to get there. Thebe

coming back, you may hold on, that is pretty tight, but Gardiner is

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

at a canter, to be fair. I would love to know what he ran after the

first 50 metres, round two, with 1.50 to go in that first section, he

paid a little bit for that, I don't know if he judged it right but in

these conditions, 34.58, the 400 metres is a cracking event, with the

new world record holder, but Gardiner is a real talent. He is

very fluid and slight, so then in the torso. He maintains form really

well. -- he is so thin. The temptation is to really begin to

grimace in the last few metres. Despite that pressure, he must be

aware of Thebe through the corner of his eye. He looks relaxed as he

crosses the line. The battle drew them well clear of the rest.

Gardiner winning 34.5 eight. Ignore the Hudson-Smith result at the

bottom, it was Yousif there. And finishing well, that was Borlee. The

pressure is really on perturbation in the last round of the discus.

This would have been her 37th Diamond League win, she has to find

something here if she isn't to lose today, Perkovic. She is going after

it and watching it... Now... How far was that, then? Perkovic is kind of

celebrating there. Now... Did she stay in the circle? Very close to

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

at the disappointment on her face, she does not like losing, it does

not often happen to her. That is a big shock. The winner of the women's

discus is Peres. Just waiting for the winter to ease off, it is

blowing very strongly. -- Perez. -- waiting for the wind to ease off. A

home straight tail wind is blowing in the opposite direction of our

commentary position. No, out she goes. Silva finishes no better than

fifth place today in Stockholm, a significant upset given the form of

the recent weeks in the women's discus. Now, only Daniel store can

deny Dacres victory. Daniel store, even Dacres. Needs to find it half a

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

cannot see that line that is superimposed on your screen. They

think it is close but we can see it is not close enough. 66.95 in the

previous round. Well, it is better, and improvement. 68.13, a good

performance from the Swede. That will be second today. So, Stahl with

a good effort in the last round. A big throw, but not good enough. That

man there, Dacres, taking the win, 68.30 six. Back to the track, it is

time for the men's steeplechase. The one who everyone will be watching is

that tall figure there. A massive improvement, 8.05, a great race

against his competitor in Rome, a new personal best there. In good

form as well, another good run from him that night. Well down the field

was Kowal, given the field we've got today, not filled with the same kind

of talent. On his day, capable of running well. In the absence of the

big Kenyan names, Bett with a personal best of 8.10. This is a

young and emerging talent from Eritrea, Haileselassie, 19 years

old, a silver medal at the Junior Championships last year, setting a

personal best in Rome at 8.11. They have asked for a pretty good pace,

and are hoping to get to two kilometres in about 5.22, giving

them the chance to get into the low eight minutes. You can see these

conditions, as we have said on more than one occasion, they are pretty

tricky. The men's 3000 metres steeplechase. The pole vault once

again... But first-time clearance, and here she goes again... It really

affects your run-up, to get that rate, I was reading an article where

she said she was working so hard on the technical aspects, is she heard?

Let's just watch this. Maybe it was on her landing... She comes down.

That is a shame for Bengtsson, appearing to be in the form of her

life, clearing for metres 61 centimetres, that's a shame for her,

I would be surprised if she manages to go again, the Swiss Buchler with

her third attempt... Just running through there. It is so difficult,

as I was saying, will in these windy conditions. It is on their back Law.

It is really difficult to control the runner-up. The pole vault can be

so dangerous, if you do not manage to do that. A season's best for her.

Congratulations to Buchler. Look at this, almost climbing over that for

me, El Bakkali looking tired, but with two laps to go, can he find

something here? Six minutes left, he would have to find something

sensational in the last 800 metres. Not quite, the barrier... The water

jump is on the inside. I do not think he is in danger of losing this

at all, time slips away a little. A good battle for second place. I am

watching in third place you have Kowal, running three metres 36 down

in Marseille, 40 steeplechase competitor, that is very good middle

distance running. Eight minutes 15 seconds is a solid run, he has

freshened up in the last ten days. We may yet see Kowal doing damage in

the final lap and a half. They will be hoping to get close to eight

metres ten, -- 8.10, Kowal. The group is a little further back, I do

not think they have any chance of being in second or third year, the

leader El Bakkali approaching the bell. A slow lap there. A round of

66 seconds, may be slightly more? 67 or 68, Kowal is suddenly not running

as strongly as he was, going back into third position, it is El

Bakkali, setting out really hard. Two minutes and 39 seconds in the

first kilometre, then two minutes 45 for his second. This is even slower.

Haileselassie picking up down the back straight, I do not think he's

in with a chance of catching the Moroccan, but he is moving away from

Bett in third. And Kowal struggling in fourth, climbing over El Bakkali,

very tired, the one permission quicker. This gap is too big. For

Haileselassie. And in third place, Bett. Struggling in the water is

Kowal. Into the home straight, you have El Bakkali. You saw Kowal

almost stopping in the water. It is a good win for him. The entire last

800 metres, after going so quickly in the beginning. The time is going

to be about eight minutes 15 seconds, slightly after.

Haileselassie in second place, and hanging on for third spot, you have

Bett. The winner is El Bakkali with eight minutes 15 seconds. You need

these hard races, El Bakkali is one step closer to his best form.

Comfortable with that time, even if he did slow a little bit through the

final third. That is the result. Winning by three seconds in the end,

El Bakkali, Haileselassie doing well in second, and in third Bett.

the athletes on the track and stripped down, ready for the women's

200 metres, and Dean lane six, you have the silver-medallist in the

World Championships in the 100 and 200 back in 2013, 29 years old now,

and second in Oslo in lane five, you have Lalova-Collio. The three times

Europe and under 23 champion, the German Haase, a good draw for her,

22 minutes 58 is her season's best. Garcia is still Garcia from Spain.

The champion goes in lane three. Most recently 23.18 was a win and

crystal Emanuel of Canada, seven in Rio. If she is ever present in their

squad, a second leg athlete. Very quickly into her

running. Third from left, my word, Ahoure tears around the bend. Haase,

the German, in second place, good running from Crystal Emanuel, the

Canadian. A strong brand, Haase comes back towards Ahoure, who has

been caught, reeling in. Emanuel is very tight indeed, goodness me! It

is difficult to separate, 1.1 is the wind behind them. 22.69 is the time.

The flowers go to Ahoure, it was very close indeed, I would not want

to be responsible for saying it was definitely Ahoure. She does get it,

by a 100th of a second, a season's best for the Ivory Coast national.

That was some handicap, running a superb straight to take second

place, 22.69, a personal best. Haase with 22.70 six. A personal best, not

far behind. Clearly conditions there are pretty good for the 200-metre

runner is at least. No surprise that Ahoure gets out hard, a good starter

and running a good bend. Lacking a little bit into the home straight.

As you said, Emanuel was close, watch this... I would love to Ahoure

but you get the feeling that in the last five metres, Emanuel tightened

up a little bit, Ahoure did not lean much. Not much in it, 100th of a

second. There you go. Olympic silver-medallist Luvo

Manyonga has already jumped over eight metres .604 times this year,

he set a Diamond League records and he's 11th on the all-time list, the

men's long jump world record does not change hands very often but if

anyone can challenge the 26-year-old mark of 8.95, Luvo Manyonga could be

the man. Rigadin de Beauchene a first look at one of the big stars

of the meeting and world athletics at the moment, Luvo Manyonga of

South Africa. Beautiful running action, already off to a cracking

start, everyone else struggling to get over eight metres and he puts

one out there early on, incredible story, world junior champion and his

life started to unravel. Drug addiction resulting in him failing a

drug test, 18 month ban and taken a while to get his life back in order

but goodness me what a talent and he is fulfilling it now. The wind 3.3

so it's picking up, swirling all the time.

Was the leader, going out to a good effort as well, Samaai. He was

following his team-mates, I The Long Jump already hotting up.

Moves him into second place. Great line up for the men's 110 metre

hurdles. Andrew Pozzi of Great Britain, good performance, decent

performance in Rome. Orlando Ortega was second on that night. The

Olympics over medallist. Sergey Shubenkov felt that Andrew Pozzi

twitched and did not get a good start himself but still finished

third, then we have got Manga of France.

The wind might be helping slightly, but more of the left shoulder as you

look, the men's 110 metres hurdles. False start. Looked pretty even to

me. Just waiting for it to come up, it looks like Andrew Pozzo. --

Andrew Pozzi disqualified, a massive

disappointment for him, he has never raced here in Stockholm and he will

not be racing tonight. That leaves the way clear a little bit for

Ortega. Finally away safely, Ortega stayed

in the blocks, Shubenkov started better, Brathwaite running his own

race, Shubenkov starting well, Ortega having to fight, that is

close, Shubenkov might have hung on. Very tight on the line. Looking at

each other and then up at the screen. Very close, Shubenkov

definitely with leading most of the race, Ortega came back and came off

the last hurdle well and may have snatched it. It's been given to him

by 100th of a second, the Olympic silver-medallist. I said he would

have to snatch it and that's exactly what he did. I suspect the

difference was into the thousands between the two of them. Given the

histrionics of the start, he snatched win for Ortega. Yes, I

thought he had got it on the depth but all credit to Shubenkov who has

had such a delayed start to his season. Does everything he can but

Ortega very quick over the final barrier. Still down but look at the

run in, gets the better lean in. That for Ortega very encouraging

indeed, he's in such good form, will probably go to London at favourite

at this rate. The bar are now at 1.94, the Polish world indoor high

jump champion two years ago. Seasons best of 1.96 service will test tar,

a 1.99 jump in her life, that was 2013, her personal best, that is

beautiful, lovely clearance and she knows it. If she can watch the

replay and fire up, psychologically demanding but that will give her a

massive boost she was well over that. Nice, maintains her perfect

card, shares the lead at the moment with Skoog of Sweden. You she is,

this is her first attempt at 1.9 four. She also has a perfect card up

to this point, she came in at 1.80 and cleared it first-time.

That's nice to, yes. I don't know if they have got the wind behind them,

I think they have. Down the middle of the stadium. Skoog over 1.94

cannot hold back the tears, it equals her personal best set in Rio

last year. No wonder she's crying with joy. She was seventh in Rio.

1.86 was all she managed a few days ago. 1.85 in Rio. Where has she

found that form? Lasitskene, authorised mutual athlete, that

means she is Russian. World champion from Beijing. Total weight

dominating the scene at the moment, this is her third Diamond League

high jump competition, winning in Eugene and Rome. She maintains her

perfect card, first-time clearance. Three athletes over first time. The

men's 1500 metres the next race on the track, containing several men

looking for a good mid-season form. None of them have really hit the

straps yet this year. The third fastest man in history, Kiprop.

Three times world champion also the Olympic champion in Beijing 2008,

only third in the Kenyan Championships last weekend 's. The

world number one, what a talent the Bahraini inside got. 3.31

won the Kenyan Championships last weekend in Nairobi, tactical race.

Good field in the men's 1500 metres, heading off down the back straight.

As wand, so often Kiprop in the slowest away, moves around the

outside. Mikhou it will be fascinating to see him go. The world

number one into fourth place as we looked at them now. Looks on the

quicker side, the meeting record 3.29. This is interesting, Mikhou,

he absolutely destroyed the field in the last 300 metres off a fast pace

against Kiprop who by his own admission, not fully fit, said he

needed to lose weight, I think he meant he needed a haircut, not

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

all I need for the trials. Interesting to see if he will give

Mikhou something to think about, the Bahraini and, formerly Moroccan.

Tough call for a youngster like that to be thrown into the deep end,

going through a two laps to run. The pacemakers leading them around,

still in third place, with Mikhou the world number one, the mystery

man, I had hardly heard of him prior to this year in fourth place.

Interesting to see now in this middle section of the race what

Kiprop although, will he move up towards the big names? Having a jog

around this morning, may well be that is helping, not in great form

himself but as the pacemakers start to falter you want somebody out

there or he has found himself a leading. Mikhou gathering, Cheruiyot

will always be dangerous and he's in with a chance. Without Kiprop, needs

to get closer to Mikhou, Mikhou is very fast. Mikhou had a glance over

his shoulder, this close bunch. Now the big kick goes and vicious going

from Cheruiyot. Mikhou chasing hard, Cheruiyot grabbed a couple of metres

and Mikhou was slow to respond, the Bahraini in and world number one,

Kiprop looks beaten unless he can find some special legs, Cheruiyot,

has the Bahraini got the speed, Cheruiyot continues to kick hard,

driving hard with the arms and pulling away from the fastest man in

the world this year, it's a big victory, the time is a world best

for this year, 54.39, so much of it down to Cheruiyot blasting away from

the grip with about 270 metres never got back on terms. Just 21 years

old, won the Kenyan national championship in Nairobi last week

which was an indication there was something special and he produces a

world leading win. Big names behind him. He's a huge talent, has not

always judged his effort well in races. I have seen him running in

the relay championships and maybe not doing quite as well but other

occasions you see the talent he has got. Kiprop knew it, beaten by him

in the Kenyan Championships, the Kenyan trials will be interesting

but this is something different, he attacked it with 300 metres to go

and that is what took Mikhou by surprise, you cannot say he did not

run well, fast time in second place but that was all about Cheruiyot.

The surge down the backstreet was so extreme, you would understand if it

was a 3.35 race, but 3.30, winning it for Cheruiyot, Mikhou in second

place. And the seasons best from the Ethiopian in third. Progress for

Kiprop hand angry. When the gloves come off and she

gives it full power she blasts over it, look at that. The arrogance on

the face, that's required when you need to be on top in this event,

mentally. No celebration. It's all done with a matter-of-fact

demeanour. Manyonga... Eight 36, both of those

will win. Bizarrely, somewhat, he has had two strongest gusts of wind

in those rounds, and he ran through on his third round. This is his

fourth round jump. Another big effort, he is making eight metres.

Looking easy indeed. His last six or eight years on the global scene, the

long jump has not gone through the main scene. Greg Rutherford has

jumped with enormous consistency to become the Olympic world European

and Commonwealth champion, but Manyonga may well be the future of

this discipline. 8.33 in round four. Still does not have much of a gap

over his compatriot who jumped 8.29 in the second round, Samaai. The

world indoor champion back in 2014, Licwinko. She seems to fly over it,

really. A good clearance for her. That puts her into second place.

Third time clearance of 1.97, not looking like she would be able to do

it. She should have checked, going in. But, she is clear. As she has

been all year, Lasitskene looking way better than everyone else. Here,

you have Juska. On the long jump, two South AfricanLaw doing well.

That is better from him. Juska around eight metres, a

silver-medallist back in 2015. Very tall. Finishes that well. Good on

the board. Not as quick as a couple of the others on the runway. He has

two jumped 8.2 nine. Eight metres nine centimetres, continuing his

good form moving him into third place behind Manyonga and Samaai. On

just like you, as well as hints, tips, and 70 practical guides to

help you give something a go! There's also an activity finder to

help you find something to try near you! Get up, get inspired and get

active! We go straight from the field to the

track. All eyes here are on De Grasse in this 100 metres. The

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

retires, he better hurry up, a couple of months in which to do it.

Bold retires to this to season to is to how to and in in four you have De

Grasse. Away they go, De Grasse leading, a

marginally good through with her. Look at the time, 9.70, the win plus

48. A monstrous gale behind them.

That does not bounce off sufficiently, the fact that the wind

was pretty much a hurricane behind the Canadian. De Grasse, what a

shame that the wind was so strong. Plus two, we would have seen them go

a long way under ten seconds. A bit of fun to move your legs back

quickly but the wind makes it academic. It really picked up as

they went into their set position, you felt a strong gust, he finished

strongly, Meite held him to 80 metres. He carried on strong to the

finish. He will be happy. He is in decent form. He does not need to be

flying out. Winning races is important. He won the other day, he

has won again here. He probably had a strong wind on his back, not too

excited as he crossed the line. A clear win, importantly, in the end.

Shields had to run the race to get into the final and finished in

third. 8.20 in that round for Manyonga. The perfect card so far

for the Russian competitor... Yes! Beautiful, really fluid. No jerks,

not power -based, a lot of speed, and a good power to eight ratio,

generating enormous speed. The strength comes in converting that

horizontal position. Finishing in the next position, Licwinko.

Manyonga in the men's long jump. This is the concluding jump of the

contest, he has won it. Not a particularly... Ooh, I don't know.

As he hurt himself? That was a big effort. It didn't look far behind

the superimpose line in the sand at 8.36, it might have been an 8.30

job. As the South African tweet something? He always lands... Watch

this. -- tweaked something. He is always heading for something like

that happening. He is always twisting. He always lands awkwardly.

This is the top long jumper in the world, jumping further than anyone

has for years. Let's hope he hasn't injured himself, it would be a shame

if he was not to be at London. Hopefully he is OK. Onto the last

track event. This will be the women's 800 metres, looking for a

bit of local interest in terms of Lovisa Lindh, who ran very well in

Oslo the other night, and Lynsey Sharp is improving. Here is Lovisa

Lindh. A big cheer, fast improving young athlete, the Olympic

silver-medallist world indoor champion, Niyonsaba, she is in lane

six, and sharing lane six with the Cuban Almanza. Again, a couple of

the numbers are blowing over, the wind is playing havoc with the

afternoon's athletics. Gust paw all the time, in the back, they are

getting some shelter, murder is struggling to get to the front, she

seems to be managing OK, pretty experienced at this now, you have

Niyonsaba, wearing her arm sleeves. Jenny Meadows takes them through at

around 28 or so, which is OK. Almanza leaving quickly at the

start. No Caster Semenya, but Niyonsaba is a difficult athlete to

beat. I do fancy Melissa Bishop, she has been very determined, the

28-year-old Canadian, to get among the big three who took the medals in

embryo. -- who took the medals in Rio. They are all lining up, Lynsey

Sharp makes a move down the back straight, watch out for Buchel,

finishing quickly. Niyonsaba, to be shot at, they are all queueing up at

the moment. Melissa Bishop looking for room, trying to squeeze Almanza.

They are slowing down, giving the others a chance, Buchel in the back

of Hinriksdottir. About Lynsey Sharp comes out on the outside, the Swede

is moving into third. The Olympic silver-medallist, Almanza, Lovisa

Lindh trying to find something here. They are all struggling. Buchel will

finish quickly. But Niyonsaba getting daylight between her and the

others, Lovisa Lindh is trying to chase her down. Not going to get

there, Niyonsaba will won it. Lovisa Lindh in second, Bishop rallied and

finished quickly. They were trying to get Lovisa Lindh into first

position. Trying to will her towards a new Swedish record but not the

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

were all struggling really. I know that it is windy and it is tough,

but Niyonsaba was stronger than everyone else. You are right, that

was the problem, it was a second and a half too quick. The second lap,

wait for it, 62.30 one. Niyonsaba was not in the lead at 400, not a

good differential, you want about two seconds. Niyonsaba, a smile or a

grimace, or a hybrid? Staying clear of the rest. So she should. Really,

and Olympic medallist. Dragging them all through. Great times in her

wake. The first five breaking two minutes. Niyonsaba doing what was

asked of her in the absence of Caster Semenya. STUDIO: That is all

of the athletics for today, but the tennis from Queen's Club starts at

1pm, don't forget more athletics next weekend with European team

Championships live from Lil, coverage at 12 point

-- at 12:50pm. The next highlights are from Paris, that's on Sunday the

2nd of July. Balmy summer evening sees to be the

norm in Stockholm but not today. An ill wind blowing for a queue of the

British athletes. Adam Gemili withdrew. There was a case of let's

all move on, and on the plus side, Lynsey Sharp continuing to improve.

Jack Green with a solid performance. We had a superfast 100 metres from

Andre de Grasse, but like everyone else, he was blown away by the

weather. That's all from Stockholm where more athletes have booked

their places in the Diamond League finals coming at the end of the

season. Before that, for the best athlete in the world, there is only

one final that matters... Goodbye! Is same boat has done it! Caster

Semenya has done it. A British record. A mammoth jump. A new world

record! Sophie Hitchon, what an effort! Elaine Thompson has got the

Olympic gold. It is huge!!! A new British record. He is going to win

the world title. A beautiful shot. Laura Muir now, she has smashed the

British world record. She wins the gold.
