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