:00:48. > :00:50.Hello and welcome to Zurich for the first leg of
:00:51. > :00:53.the Diamond League Finals, where a truly special night
:00:54. > :00:55.of athletics is in prospect, as we witness the last ever
:00:56. > :01:03.performance, on the track, of this man...
:01:04. > :01:22.He's sprinting for gold, running for greatness. Beautiful! This is world
:01:23. > :01:24.domination for Mo Farah. The double double. He's a one-man world
:01:25. > :01:34.superpower. One Mo time. The great Sir Mo Farah,
:01:35. > :01:37.one of a host of big names competing here in a star-studied line-up
:01:38. > :01:39.in Switzerland, with 16 Diamond trophies up for grabs,
:01:40. > :01:41.each coming with $50,000 World Champion Dafne Schippers takes
:01:42. > :01:47.on Olympic Champion Elaine South African world champion
:01:48. > :01:51.Caster Semenya heads Justin Gatlin returns to the track
:01:52. > :01:55.for the first time since winning the world title in London in a 100
:01:56. > :01:58.metres which includes two of Britain's relay heroes,
:01:59. > :02:04.CJ Ujah and Adam Gemili. Fresh from her London 2017 success,
:02:05. > :02:06.Australia's Sally Pearson lines In Farah's final 5K,
:02:07. > :02:13.he takes on the man who beat him in London,
:02:14. > :02:15.Ethiopia's Muktar Edris, But first it's the men's 1500m
:02:16. > :02:24.with Britain's Jake Wightman taking on all three
:02:25. > :02:25.World Championship medallists. Time to join your commentary team
:02:26. > :02:42.of Steve Cram and Tim Hutchings. COMMENTATOR: One of the traditional
:02:43. > :02:47.events you would associate with Zurich over the years, the men's
:02:48. > :02:58.1500 metres, and the world champion, silver-medallist in Beijing two
:02:59. > :03:08.years ago. They had hoped for a Kenyan one and two and three, but
:03:09. > :03:15.the Norwegian took the bronze medal, Ingebritsken. The men's 1500 gets
:03:16. > :03:22.underway. This crowd over the years have lifted many to super fast
:03:23. > :03:36.times. The last time a world record was broken, it was Seb Coe. The pace
:03:37. > :03:44.they have asked for, very fast. I suspect one or two of them might sit
:03:45. > :03:51.off it. For some it's a struggle to carry on the season. When they get
:03:52. > :04:00.through the championships they really do hit the wall. They want to
:04:01. > :04:13.finish the season with a flourish. Not a lot of takers for the early
:04:14. > :04:19.pace. A very sensible time. Keeping an eye on the two men who finished
:04:20. > :04:24.in front of him at the World Championships. Cheruiyot made the
:04:25. > :04:33.Paysinger World Championships final. Simotwo moving up past Kiplagat.
:04:34. > :04:39.Jake Wightman taking closer order. To reiterate the point Tim was
:04:40. > :04:48.making, they amount of points you win, winning by eight points in our
:04:49. > :04:49.slow to get into the this final. All the tempo is still very quick
:04:50. > :05:15.upfront. INAUDIBLE
:05:16. > :05:18.1.54 for Cheruiyot, who is effectively leading things.
:05:19. > :05:26.Cheruiyot with a forward leaning action. Man and Ball is almost
:05:27. > :05:30.copying him behind. Kiplagat moving through the field. A difficult
:05:31. > :05:34.season for the great man. He said he was moving up to 5000 from next
:05:35. > :05:38.year. Does he still have a sting in the tail for his team-mates? Coming
:05:39. > :05:46.round to take the bell, starting to bunch up behind Cheruiyot and
:05:47. > :05:52.Manangol, the world champion. Took the bronze medal in London. Said he
:05:53. > :05:57.felt... INAUDIBLE Got a great run over the last 300
:05:58. > :06:06.metres and had some tactical errors. Perfect position on the inside.
:06:07. > :06:11.Kiplagat moving into second ahead of Manangol, Cheruiyot still in front.
:06:12. > :06:19.Kiplagat, the tall and elegant figure moving up on the inside. Five
:06:20. > :06:29.or six canyons in the first six places. Jake Wightman making a move.
:06:30. > :06:35.Cheruiyot still out in front. The world champion, Manangol is moving
:06:36. > :06:41.into second place. Cheruiyot is now kicking off the front. Kiplagat
:06:42. > :06:48.moves into second but Cheruiyot has stolen a march and wins it.
:06:49. > :06:52.Kiplagat, then Manangol and then they all tumble across the line
:06:53. > :06:56.behind. That will be some consolation for Cheruiyot, who said
:06:57. > :07:01.he was delighted with his silver medal, but sometimes you think when
:07:02. > :07:06.you get beaten by a team-mate, they are the sort of things you say, it
:07:07. > :07:09.would be great to have a Kenyan 1-2, and I'm sure he would love to have
:07:10. > :07:17.been world champion himself, but he's the Diamond League champion for
:07:18. > :07:28.2017. Not much to choose in the triple jump between the top three.
:07:29. > :07:42.Just seven centimetres. The win, rather surprisingly went to
:07:43. > :07:46.Rypakova. Waiting until the Diamond League final to produce one of the
:07:47. > :07:53.better performances of her season. Leading from the start and the
:07:54. > :07:56.winning leap came in around four. I guess at best you would call it a
:07:57. > :08:02.mixed World Championships for this young lady. Miller-Uibo was the
:08:03. > :08:05.red-hot favourite to win the 400-metre title but inexplicably
:08:06. > :08:10.stumbled in the closing metres. Picked up a medal in the 200 metres.
:08:11. > :08:17.Elaine Thompson similarly in the 100 metres, the red-hot favourite. Not
:08:18. > :08:22.performing at all. Dafne Schippers, the way was left clear for her in
:08:23. > :08:34.the 200 metres, no Tori Bowie, was injured herself in winning the
:08:35. > :08:40.event. Marie-Josee Ta Lou gets a pretty good start. And now Elaine
:08:41. > :08:44.Thompson try to catch up. Schippers running a fabulous bend with
:08:45. > :08:50.Marie-Josee Ta Lou. Elaine Thompson trying to go with these two. And
:08:51. > :08:59.look at Miller-Uibo, punching incredibly quickly, and she wins it.
:09:00. > :09:05.21.89. Well! The race was progressing and progressing as you
:09:06. > :09:09.would expect. I guess, as is the want of a 400-metre record, and
:09:10. > :09:16.that's a new national record. It has been taken down another notch.
:09:17. > :09:22.21.88. It was fantastic. World champion Dafne Schippers relegated
:09:23. > :09:27.to fourth place, doesn't even make the rostrum. But Miller-Uibo, she
:09:28. > :09:31.looks shocked herself with that new personal best. The full result, and
:09:32. > :09:43.a new national record for Miller-Uibo. Rypakova is unbeaten
:09:44. > :09:49.this year. The Chinese world champion in London has looked
:09:50. > :09:59.supreme. -- Gong is unbeaten this year. A series of more than 90
:10:00. > :10:14.metres. That goes to 19 metres and 60. 20 metres remains elusive.
:10:15. > :10:20.Winning by over a metre from Marton and there is the world champion,
:10:21. > :10:24.Emma Coburn of the USA. Was third in Rio last year and then gold in
:10:25. > :10:35.London in spectacular fashion a fortnight ago.
:10:36. > :10:41.Ruth Jebet, fifth in the World Championships in London, but she is
:10:42. > :10:48.the Olympic champion. This field is like an Olympic final. It is quite
:10:49. > :10:56.staggering in its strength in depth. This is a rapidly developing
:10:57. > :11:00.discipline, the women's 3000 metres steeplechase. Eight of the top ten
:11:01. > :11:04.times of all time are still active in this discipline. You can't say
:11:05. > :11:07.that about any other track and field discipline, I believe. It's a strong
:11:08. > :11:12.event and gaining strength all the time. So good to see Emma Coburn
:11:13. > :11:16.mixing it with the best of the Africans in the last couple of
:11:17. > :11:21.seasons and then rising to the top of the pile with a perfectly worked
:11:22. > :11:31.strategic race in London. We can move to the far corner of the
:11:32. > :11:41.stadium now to the men's pole vault. Already the big obstacles are out of
:11:42. > :11:53.the competition. A second attempt at 5.8 zero.
:11:54. > :12:05.Lisek maintains his challenge here. Sam Kendricks is yet to achieve the
:12:06. > :12:18.site. The American has been supremely consistent through this
:12:19. > :12:28.2017 summer. The Polish going well, Wojciechowski. Sam Kendricks haven't
:12:29. > :12:35.taken three attempts to clear 5.80. First attempt at 5.87, and there we
:12:36. > :12:39.go. Normal service resumed. The smile is back. The American is
:12:40. > :12:51.getting down to business. First-time clear at 5.87. Negotiating the water
:12:52. > :13:02.jump OK that time. Ruth Jebet in second place. Quite a gap back to
:13:03. > :13:07.Emma Coburn with the European Championships from Amsterdam last
:13:08. > :13:12.year and the bronze-medallist in the last World Championships in 2015,
:13:13. > :13:20.Krause, just shadowing the American, almost as if she wants the scalp
:13:21. > :13:26.because she is world champion. Bondarenko, one failure for him at
:13:27. > :13:29.2.31 so far. Has come good at the end of the season, despite the ninth
:13:30. > :13:41.place in London. Jumping really well. The Ukrainian. Bondarenko with
:13:42. > :13:46.a second time clearance. Really citing the bar so well. It's easy to
:13:47. > :13:51.forget he had that incredible season back in 2014 when he cleared 2.42
:13:52. > :14:07.and was undisputed world number one for a couple of years. His next bar
:14:08. > :14:15.height will be 2.33. This is Ghazal with a second attempt. And he's
:14:16. > :14:23.over! Ghazal showing it was no fluke in London. Great story for the
:14:24. > :14:30.Syrian, still lives and trains at home most of the time. Superb
:14:31. > :14:36.clearance there. We have a competition on tonight. At its a
:14:37. > :14:48.little surprising, Steve, when you consider how bad the surface was an
:14:49. > :14:52.hour ago. Barshim, he had a failure at 2.3 three. This is the second
:14:53. > :14:58.time of asking, and he wriggles over, with lots of speed and power.
:14:59. > :15:05.A wonderful arc. He makes this so great to watch, the young Qatari
:15:06. > :15:13.just over one lap to run now. Ruth Jebet has wrestled back the lead
:15:14. > :15:24.from her compatriot. The former Kenyan running now for Bahrain. Ruth
:15:25. > :15:33.Jebet. This pair head into the back straight. 300 to run and the world
:15:34. > :15:40.record is 8.52 from Paris last year, almost exactly one year ago. And
:15:41. > :15:43.Ruth Jebet kicks away down the back straight but Chepkoech matches her
:15:44. > :15:49.stride for stride. Still only three women in history have broken nine
:15:50. > :15:58.minutes, including Ruth Jebet and Chepkoech. The Russian was the first
:15:59. > :16:03.in 2008. Chepkoech looks like she has thrown in the towel. I don't
:16:04. > :16:11.think you'll get back to her now. Look at the clock. 8.45 on the clock
:16:12. > :16:13.and it will be mighty far. She will miss her own world record by a
:16:14. > :16:23.couple of seconds. Ruth Jebet charges to the line. 8:55.33.
:16:24. > :16:28.Astonishing running after a first slow kilometre of nearly 3.02. The
:16:29. > :16:36.second quickest time in history behind her own world record set 362
:16:37. > :16:40.days ago at the Paris Diamond League and just a couple of weeks after
:16:41. > :16:48.those Rio games. Unbelievable closing speed from Ruth Jebet.
:16:49. > :16:57.Two women in the same race under nine minutes. She misses the world
:16:58. > :17:08.record by 2.5 seconds. She takes the Diamond League title in the women's
:17:09. > :17:15.steeple race. The pole vault from Piotr Lisek. A brave effort to pass
:17:16. > :17:22.and give it one last go but it wasn't to be. It has been a good
:17:23. > :17:28.night for him. A little payday as well. Congratulations from the
:17:29. > :17:32.American. The two Poles finishing second and third. Sam Kendricks
:17:33. > :17:39.continues his unbeaten season. Great competition. Not the best in terms
:17:40. > :17:56.of heights achieved, but he wins with a clearance of 5.87.
:17:57. > :18:03.There is the Olympic champion from last year and London 2012, Caster
:18:04. > :18:09.Semenya. Unbeaten this year and last year over 800 metres. She took the
:18:10. > :18:24.bronze for the 1500 in London as well. She is in lane seven. Will she
:18:25. > :18:28.go with this quick pace? She has appeared to do just enough to win
:18:29. > :18:40.the 800 metres again and again and again. Early
:18:41. > :18:53.surge from Sum. Bishop going quickly as well. Semenya is too hungry for
:18:54. > :18:57.this. The runner in a white vest looks like she's ready to take this
:18:58. > :19:01.to the rest of the field and she will need to go through it at a
:19:02. > :19:11.healthy pace and attacked the second lap to get away from Semenya. Sum
:19:12. > :19:31.going a bit more sensibly. Watching Niyonsaba. She is right up
:19:32. > :19:38.there with Semenya. Can she get dragged through here? Bishop having
:19:39. > :19:42.a go here. Great to see the Canadian reading with 200 metres to go. Now
:19:43. > :19:47.Semenya attacks, a little earlier than usual, imposing herself on the
:19:48. > :19:57.field. Niyonsaba in her slipstream in the white vest in second, Bishop
:19:58. > :20:04.in third. Sum moves past Bishop into third. Here comes Semenya, unleashes
:20:05. > :20:10.that power down the home straight. Niyonsaba powerless to get back to
:20:11. > :20:15.her. Niyonsaba, she going to take second? Yes, a late charge coming
:20:16. > :20:38.through... The time, 1:55.80 four. The high gym now and Barshim. Over
:20:39. > :20:43.on the third attempt. -- the high jump. The crowd loved it. In
:20:44. > :20:47.Birmingham he famously said he wanted to take the bar home with
:20:48. > :20:53.him. Just alluding to that as he grabbed the bar. I don't think that
:20:54. > :20:59.is the end of it tonight, though. 2.30 six. He has won this
:21:00. > :21:04.competition already. Ghazal is second. Young Tom Gale of Great
:21:05. > :21:11.Britain in the Diamond League final in eighth place. But Barshim, 2.3
:21:12. > :21:31.Justin Gatlin, won here in 2005, 12 years ago. He bullied his way into
:21:32. > :21:42.the world gold ahead of Usain Bolt Tseng roughly 56,000 people I'm
:21:43. > :21:44.disappointed. Pujara, he has had a fabulous season. He won in
:21:45. > :22:09.Birmingham on Sunday. -- Ujah. Justin Gatlin in the third lane and
:22:10. > :22:17.Ujah in lane five. Set... A good start from Gatlin and Powell. Powell
:22:18. > :22:23.moving away. Ujah challenging for this one, he might get this... He
:22:24. > :22:28.does, I think the Briton takes it. Very tight indeed but I think Ben
:22:29. > :22:32.Youssef Meite took second place. The camera focuses on Ujah. Did he take
:22:33. > :22:38.the biggest win of his career? Only 23 years old. A win in Birmingham on
:22:39. > :22:42.Sunday, a win in the domestic field, would be nicely rounded off with a
:22:43. > :22:51.win in the Diamond League final. He does take it. Ujah, from the
:22:52. > :22:56.season's best. Fabulous pick-up in the middle section from Ujah. On the
:22:57. > :23:03.far side Powell and Gatlin had their own little battle. Ben Youssef Meite
:23:04. > :23:11.in second. Let's have a look at it again. Ujah right in the centre in
:23:12. > :23:18.lane five. Yes, it was pretty even, was in it? Ben Youssef Meite
:23:19. > :23:22.finishing strongly. CJ hangs in. Great leave. The two of them not
:23:23. > :23:27.slip by hundreds of a second. That will down two thousandths of a
:23:28. > :23:35.second. Look at that photograph. You couldn't really separate them from
:23:36. > :23:38.that. They win by the tightest of my -- margins, but there is the result.
:23:39. > :23:56.Ujah winning by millimetres. Barshim has called it a night at
:23:57. > :24:00.5.30 six. Third attempt it took to get over it. Probably said enough
:24:01. > :24:03.was enough, no more so as the great man. He has the Diamond League title
:24:04. > :24:15.to add to his world title. So, to the 5000m and the final track
:24:16. > :24:30.appearance of Britain's He is going to take another world
:24:31. > :24:37.title. A one-man superstar, gold for Mo Farah.
:24:38. > :24:41.After victory in London over 10,000m to seal his tenth global gold,
:24:42. > :24:43.he was beaten to the 5K by Ethiopia's Muktar Edris,
:24:44. > :24:52.He gave everything, this will be the worst he's ever felt.
:24:53. > :24:54.Expect a strong challenge too from world bronze
:24:55. > :24:56.medallist, Paul Chelimo of the United States.
:24:57. > :25:12.The night sky bringing focus to this glorious facility. It is Mo Farah
:25:13. > :25:17.time, 12.5 laps of the track. It will be reputedly for the last time
:25:18. > :25:22.that Mo Farah will contest a major race on the track. He couldn't have
:25:23. > :25:31.picked a more difficult one! The top six from the London final, which was
:25:32. > :25:35.won by Edris. I was talking to Mo Farah today and he said, I was just
:25:36. > :25:47.too tired. After winning the gold medal, his tenth, it was a stretch
:25:48. > :25:53.too far. I am sure for Mo Farah there will be a few thoughts about
:25:54. > :26:00.the journey he has come on to get here. I was looking up some track
:26:01. > :26:09.results, all the way back to 1995, when he won the English schools. 95,
:26:10. > :26:15.his first track event, 1500 metres. And now here he is at the other end
:26:16. > :26:21.of his career, choosing one of the great stadiums to compete in, one of
:26:22. > :26:26.the great crowds to compete in front of. A very knowledgeable crowd, who
:26:27. > :26:29.I am sure have been very appreciative of the fact Mo Farah
:26:30. > :26:37.has chosen to come here. A little unusual, because Mo Farah has been
:26:38. > :26:41.winning at the global level every year after the major championships
:26:42. > :26:44.since debut. He has run in the UK and Birmingham, but he has never
:26:45. > :26:50.come back onto the Diamond League circuit. In fact, the last time he
:26:51. > :26:56.did it come in 2010 was here in Zurich and he finished fifth in one
:26:57. > :27:01.of his fastest times, 12.57. He knows how hard it is and how tough
:27:02. > :27:06.it is coming back after a major championship.
:27:07. > :27:13.Difficult conditions in the women's javelin. The long-time leader this
:27:14. > :27:17.evening was Roberts, the Australian. A great night and it got better in
:27:18. > :27:24.the final round when she threw a personal best, 64.63, to finish
:27:25. > :27:32.second. She would never have thought she would come second in the Diamond
:27:33. > :27:36.League final. But the winner, as in London was Spotakova of the Czech
:27:37. > :27:48.Republic. Continuing a brilliant season in 2017. Again, the final
:27:49. > :27:49.round delivering 64.53. She came good when it mattered most, as she
:27:50. > :28:07.did in London. You could argue Mo Farah, when he
:28:08. > :28:13.went into that 5,000-metre final in London a couple of weeks back,
:28:14. > :28:19.wasn't on a level playing field, running on tired legs. These 5000
:28:20. > :28:23.metres specialists came into the final very well prepped and made him
:28:24. > :28:30.work for it, the silver medal he took that night. Mo, he has this
:28:31. > :28:37.astonishing astute ability to get things right in the race. Again and
:28:38. > :28:43.again Mo outwitted his opponents. Have they got it right tonight? I
:28:44. > :28:47.don't think they have. He was fatigued and I think he ran
:28:48. > :28:51.virtually the perfect race, aside from missing that extra gear down
:28:52. > :29:00.the home straight. Nine men have got away now and they are not doing
:29:01. > :29:05.anything to feed that Mo Farah surge that has happened again and again on
:29:06. > :29:12.the circuit. We have seen a few attempts to seek people ending their
:29:13. > :29:16.career on a high, Usain Bolt couldn't manage it. Mo Farah didn't
:29:17. > :29:21.get gold, but he will want to go out with a win here. The others are
:29:22. > :29:26.there to spoil the party. The Diamond League title up for grabs,
:29:27. > :29:31.as well as the prize money. Mo Farah has done pretty well over the years,
:29:32. > :29:36.thank you very much! Mo Farah into the final part of the race, where he
:29:37. > :29:45.will want to hold that position. 1000 metres to go. A slow kilometre
:29:46. > :29:50.there. Mo Farah has been in this situation so many times and has come
:29:51. > :29:55.out on top. He will want to do the same here. Will he strike first?
:29:56. > :29:59.Will he try and control it from the curve, as he likes to, or is the
:30:00. > :30:02.happy sitting where he is waiting for one of the others to make the
:30:03. > :30:08.first move? Again and again in the last few years we have wondered why
:30:09. > :30:16.the athletes have allowed Mo Farah to control the race in the last two
:30:17. > :30:24.or three laps. It is interesting. The same tactic being employed here.
:30:25. > :30:28.I got the impression Mo Farah wanted to dictate proceedings. He's not
:30:29. > :30:33.prepared to surge in a big way to get the front. He had a fantastic
:30:34. > :30:41.double in London himself running that high position. You can see the
:30:42. > :30:43.energy in that pack, the nervousness, they are desperately
:30:44. > :30:50.keen to make sure they match everything Mo Farah does.
:30:51. > :30:55.So, finally Mo Farah moves to the front. The final lap of a superb
:30:56. > :31:01.career on the track. Ten world titles. Most of the time he's not
:31:02. > :31:05.won by very far, the smallest of margins finished with a big sprint
:31:06. > :31:13.finish. He is going to attempt to do the same here in the Diamond League
:31:14. > :31:27.final. The tall Ethiopian behind him. This time Mo Farah has the
:31:28. > :31:37.lead. That's what he likes to have. In front of this capacity crowd.
:31:38. > :31:46.Just about managers to hold off Kejelcha. And now, the current world
:31:47. > :31:52.champion against the 10,000 metre winner. All the other gold medals he
:31:53. > :31:58.has... He will try and take away the last glory from Mo Farah, striking
:31:59. > :32:06.for home. He's going for the line, it's going to be tight again, can Mo
:32:07. > :32:10.Farah get there? Yes, he does! They have thrown themselves at his feet
:32:11. > :32:19.figuratively and literally. Mo Farah gets to the line first. The cheer
:32:20. > :32:22.goes up. What a way to end. Maybe his closest victory. Of all of his
:32:23. > :32:32.great victories. Muck to address throwing himself at
:32:33. > :32:41.the line. It wasn't to be for him tonight. Goodness me, that was
:32:42. > :32:46.close. -- Muktar Edris. Sometimes you want to make it dramatic, make
:32:47. > :32:50.it look good. Not coming down the home straight waving to everybody,
:32:51. > :32:56.fighting tooth and nail. That's what I love about Mo Farah. He and they
:32:57. > :32:59.are running on a fresh legs. Mo Farah literally having to dive at
:33:00. > :33:04.the line as the others hit the track. It was the perfect end to a
:33:05. > :33:10.track career from this great champion. Down the home straight, I
:33:11. > :33:17.believe Muktar Edris thought he could get past Mo Farah. Look at the
:33:18. > :33:25.features of the Britain to the right of your picture. They are coming at
:33:26. > :33:28.him. Paul Chelimo, Muktar Edris, the tall figure of Kejelcha. Paul
:33:29. > :33:34.Chelimo can't find daylight between the pair of them. Desperately tight
:33:35. > :33:39.at the line, but it's a win for Mo Farah to close his career. So happy.
:33:40. > :33:46.He has proved his talent again and again so impressively. What a race.
:33:47. > :33:50.He has some great pictures to hang on his wall of a great and
:33:51. > :33:54.illustrious career. And maybe that's one might be one of the most
:33:55. > :34:02.dramatic. Mo Farah winning the Diamond League title in his last
:34:03. > :34:04.ever race. The winning time, winning by just four hundredths of a second.
:34:05. > :34:24.Thank you, Sir Mo Farah. Now, the South African opened his
:34:25. > :34:28.account with 8.14, Samaai. Bronze-medallist at the World
:34:29. > :34:34.Championships, part of a research and is in South African athletics.
:34:35. > :34:36.Samaai is experienced, a bronze-medallist from the
:34:37. > :34:43.Commonwealth Games three years ago, fifth in the world indoors last
:34:44. > :34:53.year. The South African coming down at 8.23. Manyonga has been a
:34:54. > :34:59.sensation of this summer. He's the new world champion and Olympic
:35:00. > :35:07.silver-medallist in but his consistency has been supreme in
:35:08. > :35:11.2017. The gold medal in London has given him new-found confidence.
:35:12. > :35:17.World junior champion in 2010. Good on the board. Foul in the first
:35:18. > :35:19.round. This brings him down at 8.31 to take the early lead. South Africa
:35:20. > :35:57.in one and two. Manyonga and Samaai. opener from Vadlejch. He was on the
:35:58. > :36:07.thin Rio last year. Now he has a taste for a top three spot. And that
:36:08. > :36:20.is 88.5 zero. Thomas Roller is the next ago. The world's number two,
:36:21. > :36:33.93.90 in Doha in May. 84.95, and the third-round effort, way beyond 85
:36:34. > :36:40.metres. Fabulous throwing from this astonishing line-up of top javelin
:36:41. > :36:51.throwers. The world record of 98 metres, I suspect that will last a
:36:52. > :36:57.long time. Thomas Rohler with 86.59. The World Championships
:36:58. > :37:06.silver-medallist in lane three. Nelvis. Eighth in the World
:37:07. > :37:11.Championships in 2015. Only fifth in the World Championships this year
:37:12. > :37:16.and didn't run in London. Sally Pearson, now 30 years old. Self
:37:17. > :37:19.coached, has had a lot of injury problems in the last couple of years
:37:20. > :37:31.but she has fought her way back to the top.
:37:32. > :37:40.Nelvis trying to come back at Pearson. I don't know if Pearson got
:37:41. > :37:44.there. She might have got there with the Colin Jackson style dip comedy
:37:45. > :37:49.tour so almost going horizontal, she might have stolen half an inch from
:37:50. > :37:54.Nelvis. Fantastic run from the American, just fifth in the US
:37:55. > :37:57.championship, Nelvis. That is the calibre of US sprint hurdling. As
:37:58. > :38:04.Sally Pearson taken it Costa she has! 12.55 for Pearson and surely
:38:05. > :38:08.the margin of victory will be minuscule. That's the reason you
:38:09. > :38:14.realise you are Diamond League champion of 2017, 50,000 US dollars
:38:15. > :38:20.better off, Sally Pearson. It rounds of an astonishing summer. Rounded
:38:21. > :38:29.off in the best possible style by the Australian.
:38:30. > :38:40.Fourth-round effort from Manyonga, out in front in the winning position
:38:41. > :38:45.for the South African. He likes it. He likes it a lot, I think. And they
:38:46. > :38:55.usually have a pretty good idea, these fellas. 8.31 came in around
:38:56. > :39:01.two. Millimetre perfect on the board, wow. I said he was giving
:39:02. > :39:06.away one centimetre, and it was a lot less than that. Every sinew and
:39:07. > :39:14.every muscle straining for that distance. No jump in the first or
:39:15. > :39:19.the third rounds. They sandwiched the 8.31, and the fourth-round
:39:20. > :39:34.effort from Manyonga, 8.49 to extend his lead impressively over Samaai in
:39:35. > :39:48.the second round. The final throw, leading with 88 metres, Vadlejch,
:39:49. > :39:51.the Czech Republic athlete. As been very consistent this second half of
:39:52. > :39:55.the season, even though it's a surprise tonight. Throwing well, and
:39:56. > :39:57.that's not far away from his personal best and the season best
:39:58. > :40:22.approaching 89 metres. The winning throw 89.5 zero. Manyonga, such a
:40:23. > :40:33.talent and so athletic. 8.49 is the winning jump from Manyonga tonight.
:40:34. > :40:37.What a Championships from Makwala. Shaking his head as if to remind us
:40:38. > :40:43.what might have been for him, of course. The food poisoning outbreak,
:40:44. > :40:44.the Norrodin virus that affected so many athletes and teams. -- the
:40:45. > :41:20.Norrodin oh no! Stephen Gardiner has fallen
:41:21. > :41:27.over at the start. The only other person I saw do that earlier in the
:41:28. > :41:36.season was Matthew Smith. Makwala down the back straight. Gil Roberts
:41:37. > :41:42.is going well. Makwala certainly leading in the first 200 metres.
:41:43. > :41:46.Norwood is trying to close up the gap between him and Roberts, the
:41:47. > :42:00.American in lane three. Makwala is way ahead of everyone else. Makwala
:42:01. > :42:08.just tying up the lead. Crosses in 43.97. The arms spread out. That
:42:09. > :42:13.must be... I told you I was good! And then the press ups again. Fast
:42:14. > :42:17.becoming his trademark, did the same in London. What a shame we didn't
:42:18. > :42:25.get the race between him and Steven Gardiner there. What on earth did
:42:26. > :42:29.the tall man do? I think it happened to him in Birmingham the other
:42:30. > :42:34.weekend as well. Stumbling over the first couple of strides. A storming
:42:35. > :42:41.run from Steven Gardiner. The Botswana man winning by five metres
:42:42. > :42:47.or more. A winning time of 43.95, Roberts in second and Norwood third.
:42:48. > :42:50.That's all the action from Zurich, but there's plenty more sport coming
:42:51. > :42:53.It's Challenge Cup Final day, Hull FC verses Wigan Warriors
:42:54. > :43:03.is live from Wembley next on BBC One.
:43:04. > :43:06.Newcastle versus West Ham is the live Premier League
:43:07. > :43:07.commentary game over on 5Live at 3pm.
:43:08. > :43:10.And it's the Stockholm leg of Triathlon's World Series -
:43:11. > :43:12.you can see highlights tomorrow at 1:45pm on BBC2.
:43:13. > :43:15.The next athletics on the BBC will be the second leg
:43:16. > :43:17.of the Diamond League finals next Saturday.
:43:18. > :43:20.That's followed the following week by the Great North City Games.
:43:21. > :43:26.Before the Great North Run itself, on Sunday 10th September at 9:30am.
:43:27. > :43:34.Plenty to look forward to then, but now, a final time to look back,
:43:35. > :43:37.and say thank you to the one and only Sir Mo Farah, who has taken
:43:38. > :43:51.COMMENTARY MONTAGE: The final act of a superb career on the track. Mo
:43:52. > :43:57.Farah has been in this position so many times. He will want to come out
:43:58. > :44:01.on top again here. Mo Farah striding for home. You have to keep this
:44:02. > :44:06.going right to the lie. It will be tight again. Can he get there? Yes
:44:07. > :44:10.he does! What a way to win. Thank you, Sir Mo Farah.
:44:11. > :44:11.Phone went, and it was my sister, Jane,
:44:12. > :44:14.and she said, "It's looking quite serious, really serious."
:44:15. > :44:18.A short while ago, Buckingham Palace confirmed
