Diamond League - Brussels

:00:51. > :00:55.Good evening from Brussels. If looking out the window at home was

:00:55. > :01:00.not confirmation enough, the knowledge this is the last big

:01:00. > :01:07.athletics weekend of the summer, tells you this is all Tom. It is

:01:07. > :01:11.one last chance for the great names to show us what they can do.

:01:11. > :01:15.Barring some extraordinary events in New Zealand in the next month,

:01:15. > :01:23.not words doubt about who the Welsh personality of the year is going to

:01:23. > :01:29.be, Dai Greene. -- not much doubt. The world's 200 metres champion is

:01:29. > :01:36.also running this evening over 100 metres. The last time he ran that

:01:36. > :01:41.distance, you know what happened. Meanwhile, at the other end of the

:01:41. > :01:51.flamboyance the scale, David rudder sat looking to add a Diamond League

:01:51. > :01:53.

:01:53. > :01:58.title to the world crown he won in Phillips Idowu have lost his world

:01:58. > :02:06.title but he wants to end the season on a high here in Belgium.

:02:06. > :02:10.On a seemingly permanent high, Australia's Sally Pearson. If you

:02:10. > :02:20.were watching last week in Zurich, you will know they do not mess

:02:20. > :02:33.

:02:33. > :02:43.around in these meetings. This is Pistorius putting is blades against

:02:43. > :02:45.

:02:45. > :02:55.the rest. -- his plate. Stay for the men's 10,000 metres it is a

:02:55. > :02:56.

:02:56. > :03:04.If nothing else, this is about the Usain Bolt Shell Hiddink Belgium.

:03:04. > :03:10.Fall off -- full-on Michael holding. A great atmosphere here, looking

:03:10. > :03:17.forward to seeing the greatest name in world sport. He is coming to a

:03:17. > :03:23.TV set new you in the next 20 minutes. Denise Lewis is here.

:03:23. > :03:33.Without further ado, races come thick and fast. Us than at the

:03:33. > :03:40.

:03:40. > :03:49.start for the women's 100 metres. - moves around the world and athletes

:03:49. > :03:58.pick up points. Steve Cram will describe this.

:03:58. > :04:03.Thank you, John. A very busy evening ahead. Carmelita Jeter,

:04:03. > :04:13.pretty much as the Diamond League some up. She cannot be beaten. She

:04:13. > :04:13.

:04:13. > :04:23.has got 14 points. Alongside her, Veronica Campbell-Brown. Kelly-Ann

:04:23. > :04:31.

:04:31. > :04:41.Baptiste on the other side. They are the three big stars. Kwakye in

:04:41. > :04:52.

:04:52. > :05:02.women's 100 metres. Set to start us off with a real bang. Jeter in lane

:05:02. > :05:27.

:05:27. > :05:33.takes it! Campbell-Brown is in second. Look at the time. Really

:05:33. > :05:39.good running. She was pushed all the way by Kabul Brown. Nice little

:05:39. > :05:45.following breeze. -- Campbell-Brown. We were expecting some fireworks.

:05:45. > :05:49.Colin Jackson, she went off at a fast pace? Brilliant. I was

:05:49. > :05:54.wondering if she could lift her performance. The lift was certainly

:05:54. > :06:02.needed. In lane six, Veronica Campbell-Brown was really

:06:02. > :06:09.determined to get out of this race quickly. Running powerfully. Jeter

:06:09. > :06:15.kept her head, kept her cool. To take this race in a cracking time

:06:15. > :06:19.of 10.78, she will really be happy with that. For me, most probably

:06:20. > :06:24.the best race I have seen her run all season. She did not get away

:06:24. > :06:29.well. Perhaps the fact she is world champion has given her that extra

:06:29. > :06:33.confidence and allowed her to get into her running, get nice and

:06:34. > :06:43.strong, and believe what she can do. She drags herself through the field

:06:44. > :06:47.

:06:47. > :06:57.to stop the clock at an amazing evening. Heading your way shortly,

:06:57. > :07:02.

:07:02. > :07:11.from Europe 2000. Perhaps more significantly it is the rebuilt

:07:11. > :07:17.Heysel Stadium. It is also in his new incarnation, where Serena

:07:17. > :07:27.Williams played Kim Clijsters last year, the biggest crowd ever to

:07:27. > :07:32.

:07:32. > :07:39.what's and and a tennis match. -- the season, the diamond lead race

:07:39. > :07:44.had already been decided. The European and newly-crowned world

:07:44. > :07:54.champion produced leaps of 14.67 in the opening and final round to take

:07:54. > :08:14.

:08:14. > :08:24.for the diamond title in their discus, promised to be a good

:08:24. > :08:26.

:08:26. > :08:36.competition. The event was won by the world champion from Daegu, with

:08:36. > :08:39.

:08:39. > :08:49.a fifth-round effort of 66 metres, 27. Confirmation of the final

:08:49. > :09:09.

:09:10. > :09:18.finish Yuriy you're? Yes. There are a couple of things I need to work

:09:18. > :09:27.on for next year. Holiday time now? Indeed. I am on my way to England

:09:27. > :09:31.tomorrow to run in the street race. Then I will be on holiday. I have

:09:31. > :09:41.never done 150 an actual meat. It will be interesting. Many

:09:41. > :09:43.

:09:43. > :09:47.Carmelita Jeter Jeter. On the track behind us is Dai Greene. What an

:09:47. > :09:52.extraordinary year it has been for him, culminating in the world title

:09:52. > :09:57.in Daegu, which has turned his work upside down. It does feel a bit

:09:57. > :10:05.strange. I'm starting to be recognised a lot more in the

:10:05. > :10:09.streets. I have a lot of people ringing the up. It is a bit strange.

:10:10. > :10:18.Is it what you imagined? I did not actually think about how I would

:10:18. > :10:23.feel afterwards. Obviously I feel an immense accomplishment. I did

:10:23. > :10:26.not really look forward to this and think, what is it going to be like

:10:26. > :10:33.when I am word champion? I was just so obsessed with trying to get

:10:33. > :10:43.there. A you had a chance to look back at the do? - might have you? I

:10:43. > :10:49.have not analysed them too much. coach has been taking a break since

:10:49. > :10:53.then. I have not been on the track too much lately. I will say that

:10:53. > :10:57.for when we start back. We will try to get some improvement in the

:10:57. > :11:05.training and the prep for next year. There is the chance of an added

:11:05. > :11:09.bonus at the end of the season. would be a shame for me to lose the

:11:09. > :11:14.top spot in the diamond lead at this stage. I know what is needed

:11:14. > :11:21.for me to come our way with the jackpot prize. I do not want to

:11:21. > :11:25.lose. Last week was so much more important. I well remember what

:11:25. > :11:35.happened in Daegu in a few years, not what happened in Brussels.

:11:35. > :11:59.

:11:59. > :12:09.will find out in a few moments what in the Diamond League. -- Carmelita

:12:09. > :12:10.

:12:10. > :12:16.fantastic form all season long. Cantwell, 5th in Daegu, produced a

:12:16. > :12:23.massive season's best. He must have thought it was good enough for the

:12:23. > :12:33.win. He did not count on a hot fat, who produced a season's best of his

:12:33. > :12:43.

:12:43. > :12:53.own, 22.09. Good enough for the fourth, came into this with an

:12:53. > :13:09.

:13:09. > :13:13.unassailable lead. He could not be two world champions here in Daegu.

:13:13. > :13:21.Denise Lewis, this is not to sound a negative note, but a realistic

:13:21. > :13:28.one. His time at the World Championships was the slowest time

:13:28. > :13:33.the race has ever been run that. What does that say about him?

:13:33. > :13:42.knows he needs to work on his speed. A lot of those American guys will

:13:42. > :13:46.be coming after him will stop --. He needs to find better speed. But

:13:46. > :13:53.World Championships about winning. And he has proved this year alone

:13:53. > :13:58.at consistency and winning breeds confidence. This is an important

:13:58. > :14:01.race for him for the money. know from personal experience, once

:14:01. > :14:05.you have won your first global title, does that change how you

:14:05. > :14:10.feel about yourself and how everybody else looks at you?

:14:10. > :14:17.Absolutely. You expect more from yourself. You commit yourself more.

:14:17. > :14:21.You have a desire to be better. Everybody around you expect. Dai

:14:21. > :14:31.Greene has got big shoulders. He lungs this. This is what he has

:14:31. > :15:10.

:15:10. > :15:14.and pretty much second place or better will guarantee him the win.

:15:14. > :15:24.I don't think he is thinking about second. The world champion, Dai

:15:24. > :15:34.Greene, his last race of what has been a wonderful season for him.

:15:34. > :15:35.

:15:35. > :15:42.Away cleanly and Greene's got Culson to aim at. Sanchez rising

:15:42. > :15:48.just first at the moment. Even down the back straight and Greene is

:15:48. > :15:55.watching Culson all the time. Sanchez starting to fade, Greene

:15:55. > :15:59.with his eyes on Culson. It is very even. It is when it comes into the

:15:59. > :16:05.last bend that Greene comes into his end. Cullson has a metre

:16:05. > :16:09.advantage. But this is where green can be strong. Culson wants to win.

:16:09. > :16:14.Greene has to find something special. Culson will take the win.

:16:14. > :16:22.Greene will hang on for second. Tight for third. Might have been

:16:22. > :16:26.Fredericks. 48.3. Well he will be happy with his win tonight. But he

:16:26. > :16:29.is the man with all the smiles still, because he is still the

:16:30. > :16:37.world champion and cullson would have loved to have swapped places

:16:37. > :16:43.this race with the one in Daegu. But Colin, you could tell he has

:16:43. > :16:46.had a tough ten days or so to get used to being a world champion.

:16:46. > :16:52.Yeah, sometimes you think to yourself, it is tough to get that

:16:52. > :16:55.target on your back for the first time and to come out into a massive

:16:55. > :17:02.competition and have the expectation of the whole, when I

:17:02. > :17:05.say the whole, I mean the whole audience then. When they announced

:17:05. > :17:09.him in the stadium, there was a huge noise. But he held himself

:17:09. > :17:17.together well. But this was always going to be tough. Culson wanted to

:17:17. > :17:21.turn him over here and he managed to do that. Dai Greene is still

:17:21. > :17:30.positive and he will still have tried hard to take this. But it

:17:30. > :17:37.wasn't his day. I'm sure when he looks back, he will be fine.

:17:37. > :17:41.hope to speak to Dai Greene in a few moments. Let's move on and talk

:17:41. > :17:46.about somebody else, the target that Britain set the team were

:17:46. > :17:49.seven medal in the World Championships and we attained that

:17:49. > :17:55.thanks largely to Hannah England. It was a perfect race for me, with

:17:55. > :18:00.it being a bit, not a really fast pace, just a bit slowish. Just

:18:00. > :18:05.plays into my running style. The final 200 I was relieved I was

:18:05. > :18:10.having a good race. You see so many people underperform and I did that

:18:10. > :18:16.last year. I remember thinking at 200 few, I have not mucked up. I

:18:16. > :18:21.have had a good race. Maybe that carried me forward. I knew I could

:18:21. > :18:30.spring past some of girls. But I didn't imagine I would get whatever,

:18:30. > :18:40.five of them. Looking fear ward to -- forward to see Hannah in a

:18:40. > :18:41.

:18:41. > :18:48.moment. A will for Culson there. Dai Greene in second. But second

:18:48. > :18:53.was good enough by one point, so $40,000, a nice bonus for the

:18:53. > :19:00.season. He is with John. Steve Cram said 40 thousand richer than you

:19:00. > :19:05.were. That is all right. Question, that the whole point of coming here.

:19:05. > :19:10.-- Yes that is the whole point of coming here. I put the hard work in

:19:10. > :19:14.all year. This is my reward. you still feeling the glow of

:19:14. > :19:19.Daegu? I train all year round for that, once it was over, I didn't

:19:19. > :19:27.want to be training. And my coach was on holiday. So I have been on

:19:27. > :19:33.my own. Have you felt mentally on holiday sna? Yes I have it has been

:19:33. > :19:37.hard to drag myself on the track. I knew I should come here. A great

:19:37. > :19:41.atmosphere here. It is my favourite stadium to run in. It is a shame I

:19:41. > :19:48.wasn't in better condition. But I knew I had to finish in the top two

:19:48. > :19:54.so, job done. Whrafrpblgts for you now? -- What fr you now? I will

:19:54. > :20:00.have three weeks aw off and I will go on holiday and I will catch up

:20:00. > :20:07.with my friends back home. So I want to catch up with them and yeah

:20:07. > :20:16.get back on the track in or four weeks. And Wales to beat Samoa.

:20:16. > :20:20.How bad was it last Sunday? It was hard to watch. But I think we will

:20:20. > :20:26.play better next time. Frbgts your weeks off before getting Bahn

:20:26. > :20:34.to -- down to hard stuff. On the track Hannah England, Silver

:20:34. > :20:39.Medallist in the 1,500 metres. This is an spregs race. Steve. It is a

:20:39. > :20:47.race with probably a few too many athletes in. There are 206789 that

:20:47. > :20:57.is more than I would like to see. - - there rr 20. That is more than I

:20:57. > :21:11.

:21:11. > :21:21.is the world leader. But for the first time, well since 1977, the

:21:21. > :21:32.

:21:32. > :21:42.world lead in the 15hun metres is above four mince. A bits of a scrum

:21:42. > :21:46.

:21:46. > :21:53.in the 1,500 metres in Daegu. Has she recovered enough to make a stab

:21:53. > :22:01.at this race tonight? 20 athletes preparing for the call to walk

:22:01. > :22:11.forward. That is the woman in the box seat. So three and three

:22:11. > :22:15.

:22:16. > :22:21.quarter lengths of the track in the women's 1,500 metres. They go

:22:21. > :22:31.through 800 metres in around 2.06 pace. Which of the athletes will go

:22:31. > :22:32.

:22:32. > :22:38.with the leaders? They hope to get 1,000 metres in 2.39. They need a

:22:38. > :22:48.fast place. The athlete in second is sell you'llly. She has been away

:22:48. > :22:49.

:22:49. > :22:59.with a two-year ban. -- Selsouli. She is the one they will have to

:22:59. > :23:01.

:23:01. > :23:07.beat. Jamal is there. We want Hannah England to get a fast time.

:23:07. > :23:15.She said she had a great training session and went off to Canada for

:23:15. > :23:22.a wedding after Daegu! But Morgan has something to prove. She fell in

:23:22. > :23:32.the world Championship final. Sell youly is in second. -- Selsouli is

:23:32. > :23:38.in second. The basis pretty quick. The field beginning to stretch out

:23:38. > :23:44.as they approach the home straight. All still in contention. Still

:23:44. > :23:49.relatively bunched as the pace maker carrying out her duties.

:23:49. > :23:56.Hannah England is to back of the field. She had to go wide in the

:23:56. > :24:04.final in Daegu. Moved up from seventh to second place in a matter

:24:04. > :24:09.of metres around the last 50 metres. And a similar position on the

:24:09. > :24:15.outside to the back of the field tonight. They're going through 2

:24:15. > :24:19.hundred, that was a slow second lap. The ones at the back will be happy.

:24:19. > :24:23.Now she has got to get herself in the race. This third lap is where

:24:23. > :24:29.they will try to sort themselves out. There will be a push on the

:24:29. > :24:39.last lap to get close o' the that four minute mark. Selsouli will be

:24:39. > :24:43.

:24:43. > :24:48.a danger. Approaching the home straight for the second time. The

:24:48. > :24:58.pace maker has done her duty and taking its on Jamal keeping close

:24:58. > :25:07.order on the shoulder of the leader. Gez Hain in third. At the bell it

:25:07. > :25:11.is 2. 58. Selsouli pushing on. You would assume if you have been at

:25:11. > :25:16.the front and the others come at you, you will wilt. But not her.

:25:16. > :25:21.You can make your own opinion about whether she should be in the

:25:21. > :25:31.meeting. The organisers letting those who have had a drugs ban back

:25:31. > :25:33.

:25:33. > :25:38.in. Jamal is pushing through on the inside. Uceny is pushing up. The

:25:38. > :25:47.American who has been serene in many of her races is attacking

:25:47. > :25:55.Selsouli and looks superb. You Uceny stretching away. Watch the

:25:55. > :26:05.clock here. Will it be a word's fastest? There noise danger.

:26:05. > :26:05.

:26:05. > :26:13.They're trailing behind her. Uceny wins, Hannah England is in fifth.

:26:13. > :26:16.61.87 and again outside four mince. She won't mind, some -- four

:26:16. > :26:23.minutes. She won't mind, some vindication. I spoke to her in

:26:23. > :26:29.Zurich, she said, I still haven't got over it. She fell, or was

:26:29. > :26:34.tripped up with 500 to go. She will be pleased to come back with a big

:26:35. > :26:38.win. And Hannah England, another quick time around 4.3.

:26:38. > :26:48.Consolidating the sort of form she has shown this year. She will run

:26:48. > :26:48.

:26:48. > :26:54.again tomorrow in Newcastle as well. Watch Uceny here, she is so strong

:26:54. > :26:59.in the last part of the race. Like Hannah. She is passing people. Just

:26:59. > :27:06.doesn't quite have the strength that Uceny has. She has got plenty

:27:06. > :27:08.of options. I feel sorry for her. That is what happens of course,

:27:08. > :27:14.World Championships was full of disqualifications and people

:27:14. > :27:20.falling and that is part of the drama of a major Championships. Was

:27:21. > :27:30.no -- but no threat to her tonight. Hannah England, hanging on for

:27:31. > :27:36.

:27:36. > :27:43.fifth place and a time will come through soon. Well how quick can

:27:43. > :27:49.Bolt go tonight? He can go quite quick if he has a motorised vehicle

:27:49. > :27:54.to carry him. That was the ovation and his usual performance about an

:27:54. > :28:00.hour ago, as he was introduced to the crowd. As well as being the

:28:00. > :28:07.last Diamond League of the summer, is the most significant day in the

:28:07. > :28:13.Belgian athletics calendar and honours their greatest athlete, Ivo

:28:13. > :28:20.Van Damme. There he is. He was second in the 1,500 metres behind

:28:20. > :28:26.John Walker. Here we are in the 800, taking second place and that was a

:28:26. > :28:32.golden era of middle distance runners. Tragically Van Damme died

:28:32. > :28:42.in a car crash only a few months after that Silver Medal in Canada.

:28:42. > :28:43.

:28:43. > :28:50.But we honour him here tonight. In those games Crawford from Trinidad

:28:50. > :28:56.won the 100 metres beating don Quarry. The last in line of great

:28:56. > :29:01.Jamaican sprinters is the man we will see. But here is Hannah

:29:01. > :29:06.England. How did that go? It wiz fine. It went fast and a lot of

:29:06. > :29:12.girls died on the last lap. I think I went too hard too early and paid

:29:12. > :29:17.for that in the last 50. But I haven't had a chance to run many

:29:17. > :29:23.races. That was the second fastest time you have run. Yes I wanted to

:29:23. > :29:29.run fast. I made a big jump so it is noo I to back up the 4 lpbt 1.

:29:29. > :29:35.You are an international athlete, when you look at Bolt, what do you

:29:35. > :29:40.make of him? I want to stay and watch him run. I wish, I'm running

:29:40. > :29:46.in Gateshead tomorrow so I haven't got time to stay. He won't be here

:29:46. > :29:52.for long, it is nine seconds. Well done on Daegu. Great to see you.

:29:52. > :30:00.See you next time. And Denise there he is betting ready for the big

:30:00. > :30:06.fight. He does transend the sport. This is what people have come to

:30:06. > :30:11.see. He looks in great form. Nothing less than a world leading

:30:11. > :30:21.time would be disappointing for everyone. He has come here to run

:30:21. > :30:36.

:30:36. > :30:41.E T. -- Harry Akines-Aryeetey. How much it bothers him that he was not

:30:41. > :30:51.the fastest this season? A think it bothers him a lot. He wants that

:30:51. > :30:52.

:30:52. > :31:00.recognition. He expects this from himself. He wants to be a legend.

:31:00. > :31:06.Here we go with I assume a very undemonstrative gesture to the

:31:06. > :31:16.crowd and the camera. Steve Cram, what will we see? One thing I do

:31:16. > :31:16.

:31:17. > :31:26.not want to see is a false start. He transcends the sport in a way

:31:27. > :31:27.

:31:27. > :31:31.that nobody has before. In a good way as well. Nesta Carter got

:31:31. > :31:36.pretty close to him before the World Championships in Monaco. Very

:31:36. > :31:46.close indeed. I have got a funny feeling he may not get so close

:31:46. > :31:47.

:31:47. > :31:57.tonight. Justin Gatlin. A former Olympic champion. Usain Bolt asked

:31:57. > :31:59.

:31:59. > :32:05.for this race because the organiser really have to struggle to get

:32:05. > :32:15.afield together, a good field. He wanted a good field to run against

:32:15. > :32:16.

:32:16. > :32:26.Usain Bolt. With the wrong Clarke, the Commonwealth champion -- Lerone

:32:26. > :32:47.

:32:47. > :32:57.He ran quickly in Zagreb the Olga like night. -- other night. Ascend

:32:57. > :33:29.

:33:29. > :33:38.9.77. The world's fastest time of the year. Who would ever dated? --

:33:38. > :33:43.doubt it? For 30 metres, you thought, hello, hello. Usain Bolt

:33:43. > :33:51.on top where he belongs. On top in Brussels. On top of the world again

:33:51. > :33:56.in 2011. It was fantastic to see. The whole stadium got on their feet.

:33:56. > :34:03.I was wondering why there provided seats. There were intense. They

:34:03. > :34:13.wanted to see a performance. Usain Bolt has delivered.=the time he set

:34:13. > :34:14.

:34:14. > :34:24.in 2008. 9.7 seconds. -- he calls. He will be very pleased. A little

:34:24. > :34:29.bit jaded out of the blocks. Drove out. The first 50, 60 metres...

:34:29. > :34:38.When he put his foot down, he pulled away from Nesta Carter. He

:34:38. > :34:46.was watching the clock all the time. Officially they have given him 9.76

:34:46. > :34:52.seconds. A season's best. And, of course, a record at the meeting.

:34:52. > :35:02.Well done, and Usain Bolt. Once again, he still has to work on his

:35:02. > :35:03.

:35:03. > :35:08.start. I want to see him a more active and reactive. But he wanted

:35:08. > :35:13.it this evening. Heaney did this time. He wanted to prove that once

:35:14. > :35:23.again he was the top man over this distance. He proved it in Daegu

:35:23. > :35:29.over 200 metres. And again, he needed to put all of those doubters

:35:29. > :35:32.away. Make sure they realise that Usain Bolt is a serious athlete who

:35:32. > :35:42.can put some serious performances at on the track when he puts his

:35:42. > :35:50.

:35:50. > :35:54.mind to it. 9.76 seconds. I hate to not talk about your

:35:54. > :35:59.performance, but when you're down at the start and Usain Bolt is

:35:59. > :36:06.doing what he is doing, how do you keep your concentration? You have

:36:06. > :36:13.to take it and use it. He is an amazing crowd. To hear that roar

:36:13. > :36:20.when you hear his name... We are in such a stage with sprinting at the

:36:20. > :36:25.moment, four of the fastest guys in the world ever running with us now.

:36:26. > :36:31.The Olympics next year. I want to up my game. I am grabbing as many

:36:31. > :36:39.T-shirts as I can. When you look across and he is four to five yards

:36:39. > :36:44.away from you, you sometimes pinch herself? -- yourself. It is a case

:36:44. > :36:53.of focusing on your own race. I would have liked to have gone

:36:53. > :36:58.quicker. I cannot moan. Lane one, you do feel a bit distant. These

:36:58. > :37:08.people Dragila to fast times. You have to use them. Great to be part

:37:08. > :37:11.

:37:11. > :37:19.Who is to say that next season this will not be the man who on dollars

:37:19. > :37:25.Usain Bolt? Yohan Blake out to show what he can do in the 200 metres.

:37:25. > :37:30.Usain Bolt was sublime. He was putting it. He was really trying. I

:37:30. > :37:35.would like to have seemed Yohan Blake with him at putting him all

:37:35. > :37:41.the way. I think we still have not seen the Premier 100 metres race

:37:41. > :37:49.this year. Even last year. He won the head to head. That is what

:37:49. > :37:55.makes the diamond lead so special. Did you think 14 metres

:37:55. > :38:03.turbocharged that to got past the others? I was worried. Carter got

:38:03. > :38:09.off well. Usain Bolt did not have the best start. Not the most fluid

:38:09. > :38:16.we have ever seen him. It does not matter. Great time. We hope to hear

:38:16. > :38:26.from him shortly. At some point we will grab a word. Down at the start

:38:26. > :38:51.

:38:51. > :39:01.for the men's 200 metres. A very race, we have just seen Usain Bolt

:39:01. > :39:11.produce a world leading time in the 100 metres. Walter Dix has the

:39:11. > :39:20.

:39:20. > :39:29.Diamond League Rapid up. -- wrapped championships in Daegu. Ainsley

:39:29. > :39:35.Waugh, 29 years old. Season's best of 20.5. They are the two main

:39:35. > :39:45.protagonists. Well to Dix, the Diamond League winner, in lane six.

:39:45. > :39:55.

:39:55. > :39:58.your and Blake. Old characterises him as it beast. -- Usain Bolt. He

:39:58. > :40:08.has grand designs on picking down Usain Bolt in the 100 metres and

:40:08. > :40:25.

:40:25. > :40:35.the 200 metres. Testing himself on down the straight. He pulls away

:40:35. > :40:39.

:40:39. > :40:44.from picks. 19.26 seconds. Yohan Blake! Absolutely sensational!

:40:44. > :40:53.Taking victory over water picks in the quickest time in the world this

:40:53. > :41:01.year. 19.26 seconds. That is the second fastest time of all time. He

:41:01. > :41:10.moves ahead of Michael Johnson. That seemingly unassailable 19.32

:41:10. > :41:16.from a plant that. -- Atlanta at. The only man ahead of him now is

:41:16. > :41:25.Usain Bolt. The stadium on their feet. An absolutely sensational

:41:25. > :41:30.performance. It is as though he can scarcely believe it. Unbelievable.

:41:30. > :41:40.As far as I'm concerned, Yohan Blake ran easiest turn I have ever

:41:40. > :41:40.

:41:40. > :41:49.seen. He ate up the stagger as quickly as he could. Biggs came off

:41:49. > :41:56.the term with power. But Blake said, no, this is my race. He drove hard

:41:56. > :42:00.towards the tape. 19.32. Unbelievable. Everybody in this

:42:00. > :42:10.stadium gassed. It was a sensational performance.

:42:10. > :42:12.

:42:12. > :42:18.Unbelievable. Power, determination, Great. Yohan Blake arrives in the

:42:18. > :42:28.world of sprinting showing he is the complete sprinter. 100 metres

:42:28. > :42:33.world champion, now the second fastest 200-metre runner in history.

:42:33. > :42:40.There you see an embrace from the man who must be a bit concerned

:42:40. > :42:47.about next year. He knows his training partner is no job. -- no

:42:47. > :42:57.joke. Not often you see somebody takes not 0.5 seconds of their

:42:57. > :42:58.

:42:58. > :43:05.personal best. Dix's time was 19.53. That 19.53 is the 4th fastest of

:43:05. > :43:15.all time. He is the second fastest American ever, by passing Tyson Gay.

:43:15. > :43:36.

:43:36. > :43:46.standings. -- the Diamond League standings. Dix takes the title for

:43:46. > :43:50.2011. Blake with the second fastest time of all time.

:43:50. > :43:55.All I can say is, if you're watching us tonight and you have

:43:55. > :44:00.got that piece of paper that says you have got tickets for the 100

:44:00. > :44:04.metres or the 200 metres final next year at the Olympics, you are lucky.

:44:04. > :44:09.It will be one of the great showdowns ever? It could be the

:44:09. > :44:16.greatest Olympics we have ever witnessed. I cannot believe it. I

:44:16. > :44:23.looked to see at what his season's best was. It was 20.33. That was

:44:23. > :44:29.just incredible. The crowd were literally speechless. Then there

:44:29. > :44:35.was the raw. Incredible. Water kicks past cost after the race. He

:44:35. > :44:42.marched off and he was not happy. What a fantastic evening. This is

:44:42. > :44:49.like 2020 athletics. -- Twenty20. The men's 800 metres. David ready

:44:49. > :44:59.share. He is the world champion. And he is the fastest man ever at

:44:59. > :45:24.

:45:24. > :45:28.But it will be all about this man. I had a long chat with him

:45:28. > :45:37.yesterday, which I enjoyed. He knows the history of the event, his

:45:37. > :45:41.father was a Silver Medallist in 1968, he said he brought me up

:45:41. > :45:48.respecting athletics and athletes. This man will try and take him

:45:48. > :45:55.through the first 400 in 49 seconds. That is what sets Rudisha apart, he

:45:55. > :45:59.has such good 4 hundred metre pace. Men's 800. Rudisha will start

:45:59. > :46:09.quickly. The others will try and hang on to him if they can. The

:46:09. > :46:14.world record just in case you're not sure is 1.41.01. He has run

:46:14. > :46:19.under 1.42 four times in his life. He said this year was about the

:46:19. > :46:26.World Championships and not the world record. But I think he will

:46:26. > :46:35.want something quick tonight. Rudisha has got to get close. He is

:46:35. > :46:41.trying to judge it right. In the crowd we know Cruise, the Olympic

:46:41. > :46:48.champion will be here and looking forward to seeing a great 800 metre

:46:48. > :46:55.runner. We will be enthralled by what Rudisha has done this year. We

:46:55. > :47:03.have got Rudisha with what was that? Not a Superfast first lap.

:47:03. > :47:09.Under pressure now, but he has been in this position so many times.

:47:09. > :47:17.Kiprop will finish well. Rudisha is moving with pace, with strength,

:47:17. > :47:24.but then he keeps going and will start to stretch out now. Kiprop

:47:24. > :47:29.can't get on terms with Rudisha. Lewandowski trying to strike. But

:47:29. > :47:37.watch Rudisha, the arms are going, the knees are coming up. He looks

:47:37. > :47:41.tired. But it is good enough to win. Ayman is trying to aback. It is a

:47:41. > :47:48.slow run, he is not happy, you see. He wanted to put a show on, maybe

:47:48. > :47:53.just left a bit too much in his last race, last weekend. A pity.

:47:53. > :47:57.But even the greatest have off nights. It has been a season in

:47:57. > :48:01.which he wan the World Championships. That is what he

:48:01. > :48:06.wanted. He wanted the Gold Medal. He wants another one next year.

:48:06. > :48:11.Then he said will look to see how fast can I go. But not tonight.

:48:11. > :48:16.He's class act and we have saw him run well. Strong when he is at his

:48:16. > :48:22.best. He looks a bit jaded today. And he may be a bit disappointed. I

:48:22. > :48:28.will be honest, that is the toughest 1.43 I have seen him run

:48:28. > :48:38.all season. But you can't ever say. He is a great athlete and when he

:48:38. > :48:49.

:48:49. > :48:56.may not have been David Rudisha's finest. Burr we saw an

:48:56. > :49:01.extraordinary 200 metres and during that race, I grabbed a quick word.

:49:01. > :49:08.When you crossed the line and you saw what your time was, could you

:49:08. > :49:14.almost not believe it? Definitely, they tell me we must break records.

:49:15. > :49:19.Today I was looking or the 19.5 and I got it. I was spect something

:49:19. > :49:26.fast. The last 40 metres, it look like there was a rocket behind you.

:49:26. > :49:31.Yes the last 40 metres I'm crazy. That is me. I'm like a beast.

:49:31. > :49:36.must have seen Usain Bolt run, the world's quickest time, how much did

:49:36. > :49:39.that think anything you can do I can do better. Usain Bolt has been

:49:39. > :49:44.in training and we have been competing with each other and

:49:44. > :49:49.beating each other. I know him. When I see that I know can I go

:49:49. > :49:57.faster. I will wait my time and do nit Brussels. After what has

:49:57. > :50:02.happened, how much are you looking forward to next year? Well I hear

:50:02. > :50:08.he said in his interview I'm man next to him next year. Will be

:50:08. > :50:14.looking to compete with him next year. We can't wait. Thank you. As

:50:14. > :50:20.smooth as it get, now Sally Pearson with a final master class in

:50:20. > :50:24.thousand hurdle. For her confidence, is everything. I knew I could win

:50:24. > :50:29.the World Championships, it was a matter of what time I would run. I

:50:29. > :50:33.never thought it would run that time. When I ran in the semi final,

:50:33. > :50:36.I thought I think I have run my legs out. But my coach said, I have

:50:36. > :50:41.been waiting for this year for a long time and I know you can go

:50:41. > :50:45.faster. She has had more belief in me than I have. That is what makes

:50:45. > :50:48.a good coach. Believing in the athlete and their ability. I felt

:50:48. > :50:53.confident, of course I had nerves and I wanted to win. That is what

:50:53. > :51:00.makes a good athlete. You have got to stay hungry and fighting for it.

:51:00. > :51:06.You have got to train like you're No 2 in the world and not No 16789

:51:06. > :51:11.when I crossed the --. Not no 1. When I crossed the line it was a

:51:11. > :51:20.matter of relief. I knew I was going win. Well not many people

:51:20. > :51:30.would bet against her tonight. She hit such peaks in Daegu. I wonder

:51:30. > :51:32.

:51:32. > :51:42.how quick she can go tonight. Now here is the result of 800. A good

:51:42. > :51:43.

:51:43. > :51:48.performance by the Ethiopian, Kiprop. No doubt about the result

:51:48. > :51:58.of the 800. Rudisha the clear winner. Kiprop sneaking in for

:51:58. > :52:02.

:52:02. > :52:11.second place. The men's triple jump with Phillips Idowu. He just runs

:52:11. > :52:21.through. No mark for him on that second roun. 16.29 in the first

:52:21. > :52:30.

:52:30. > :52:35.round. Still to come is Oscar Pistorius. And in the Belgian

:52:35. > :52:39.publicity, Bolt and Oscar Pistorius have had equal billing and Sally

:52:39. > :52:44.Pearson would be up there. What a year she has had. Yes a long year.

:52:44. > :52:49.So goodness knows what is left in her legs after tonight. But she has

:52:49. > :52:54.had a supreme year and she for me has been one of the athletes that

:52:54. > :52:59.has stood out. She is looking very relaxed. I was talking to her last

:52:59. > :53:04.week in Zurich, saying how conscious how she is representing

:53:04. > :53:11.Australia. Usain will talk about representing Jay Jah may ka. But

:53:11. > :53:19.Australia is proud of its record. But does not have much with track

:53:19. > :53:25.and field. Yes I still think there is more to come from her. And I am

:53:25. > :53:30.wondering if Usain is eyeing us, but she is talking to our Belgian

:53:30. > :53:35.colleagues. Hang on here he is. Usain. Thank you for joining us.

:53:35. > :53:39.Two things to talk about. One your race and two Yohan. How proud of

:53:39. > :53:43.you that you have managed to post the fastest time in the world this

:53:43. > :53:50.year in the 100? There was never a doubt that I would run fast. The

:53:50. > :53:54.one in zag regular, a bad start and I was slouchy. But today I was

:53:54. > :53:58.happy with myself. My dry pace wasn't very good. But over all it

:53:58. > :54:03.was a good race. False starts are a thing of the past? Yes it is never

:54:03. > :54:11.going to happen again. I'm a professional I made one mistake I

:54:11. > :54:18.do not blan to make -- plan to make it again. Yohan ran the fastest 2

:54:18. > :54:26.hundred of the year. I said I will never run the race again. That is

:54:26. > :54:30.amazing for me. I'm shocked he did so well. I have seen him a couple

:54:30. > :54:35.of 200 and he has ran them bad. Said, listen, you're not a very

:54:35. > :54:41.good corner run e you have got to take it easy, run as smooth as

:54:41. > :54:45.possible and then you're strong in the strait. He did that and run a

:54:45. > :54:49.wild time. It promises to be a wild year next year. Thank you for all

:54:49. > :54:58.the enjoyment and controversy you have giten us, Usain Bolt, thank

:54:58. > :55:08.you. -- given us. Down on the blocks we're ready to go. The

:55:08. > :55:20.

:55:20. > :55:25.women's 100 hurdles. Holder is on the inside. It has been a long year

:55:25. > :55:32.for Pearson. She won three titles way back in March that. Set her up

:55:32. > :55:42.for what has been a Stellar year. She will want to finish on a high

:55:42. > :55:43.

:55:43. > :55:49.and look forward to 2012. It won't be easy. Kelly Wells who didn't

:55:50. > :55:57.finish in that final is in good form. Danielle karurters is on the

:55:57. > :56:06.other side. -- karurters is on the other side. Pearson gets a good

:56:06. > :56:16.start. Karuthest is coming no,, that is a -- karurters wins the

:56:16. > :56:21.

:56:21. > :56:26.race, it is -- that was a horrendous fall. But it is right in

:56:26. > :56:32.front of us. And it is almost as though she lost her stride. And for

:56:32. > :56:37.just a second, I thought that was a bad injury. Yes, she clipped the

:56:37. > :56:41.barrier just before she collided. She extended her stride and got a

:56:41. > :56:45.up close and went flats on the barrier and caused her to catch it.

:56:45. > :56:55.You don't want to catch these hurdles, although they look low,

:56:55. > :57:01.trust The Me, they are still heavy. -- tourist me, they are still heavy.

:57:01. > :57:06.I think she just gets under there. She just brings her leg under her.

:57:06. > :57:10.Her weight is wrong. And it makes her collapse, literally collapse

:57:10. > :57:15.over the barrier. That is what caused her to fall. Remember, these

:57:15. > :57:20.women are all running at flat out speed. So you can imagine the force

:57:20. > :57:29.of that. But right here. She just collapses under the barrier. And

:57:29. > :57:34.her lead leg gives way and wham. But Carruthers goes on to take the

:57:34. > :57:41.race. That could have been so much worse. That one knocks her off

:57:41. > :57:48.balance and that, that is what I was worry idea -- worried that the

:57:48. > :57:52.knee was potched - epopped out. I think she is OK. I think the tears

:57:52. > :57:57.is she is disappointed. Everyone is here to see the world champions do

:57:57. > :58:02.a great job. She has seen so many of the champions do so well and

:58:02. > :58:06.Sally herself wanted to finish the season on a real high. She will be

:58:06. > :58:12.disappointed. But the most important thing this a she stays in

:58:12. > :58:18.Group B. She got a shock there. That could have been a nasty injury.

:58:18. > :58:25.Danielle Carruthers winning. It was close or the second. Lewis just

:58:25. > :58:29.ahead of Wells. There are the top three here. And it will mean that

:58:29. > :58:33.Danielle Carruthers wins the diepltd race for the hurdles. --

:58:33. > :58:41.diamond race for the hurdles. But if main thing is Sally Pearson

:58:41. > :58:45.seems to be OK. A big weekend for athletics we have to great City

:58:45. > :58:48.games tomorrow. Great Britain against the United States. And a

:58:48. > :58:55.competitive card with Mo Farah topping the bill. We have got

:58:55. > :59:02.events, 150 race with Walter Dix who has run the fourth fastest time

:59:43. > :59:49.We loved sport because there are no certainties. Sally Pearce and

:59:49. > :59:55.seemed untouchable. But you have got to do it? Absolutely. It is

:59:55. > :00:04.full of drama. It really disappointing for Sally. She was so

:00:04. > :00:11.upset. She is moving so quickly she catches the Barrier with her leg.

:00:11. > :00:21.That cuts into her momentum. Look at that. Awful. Completely on the

:00:21. > :00:22.

:00:22. > :00:29.floor. Her race is over. Gutted. She was distraught. She decided she

:00:29. > :00:33.could not face the media. It has been such an amazing year. It makes

:00:33. > :00:39.coping with the disappoint and almost harder. She was almost

:00:39. > :00:44.invincible. Absolutely. She knew it would be a difficult race. But it

:00:44. > :00:51.is not the way you want to end of the season. Sports is all about

:00:51. > :00:55.drama and personalities. About 15 yards from us is Costa -- Oscar

:00:55. > :01:02.Pistorius. How many millions of columns of inches have been written

:01:02. > :01:07.about this man? He is about to run the form hundred metres the right

:01:07. > :01:11.way around. I am sure this has been exercising year for a years, why do

:01:11. > :01:20.athletics tracks go that would win just about everything else goes

:01:20. > :01:25.this way? It is said it was an arbitrary decision made at Circus

:01:25. > :01:29.Maximus in the 6th century BC and we have stuck with it since then.

:01:29. > :01:33.Experts in biomechanics think there may be some physiological benefits

:01:33. > :01:38.because most people are ripe leg dominant and they use the left leg

:01:38. > :01:43.for support. Running counter clockwise, you take longer strides

:01:43. > :01:50.with the right leg which allows for greater proportion and speed.

:01:50. > :01:54.Earlier tonight we had a race, 400 metres, going the other wave. This

:01:54. > :02:02.is an experiment being conducted by a Belgian professor from the

:02:02. > :02:12.University of Ghent. He wanted to see what actually happens when you

:02:12. > :02:18.

:02:18. > :02:25.runners. 46 seconds or thereabouts. It looked a bit odd and it must

:02:25. > :02:31.have felt a bit strange. I am not sure what it proved. It was odd to

:02:31. > :02:37.look at. Just some a mad professor from again to! It does feel weird.

:02:37. > :02:43.It feels out of sync. The body feels out of line. I do not know.

:02:43. > :02:48.Support the athletes did not really like it. -- some of the athletes.

:02:48. > :02:54.Even in training he hurt himself. A weird concept. I hope I do not see

:02:54. > :02:58.it again. The second biggest cheer of the evening for Oscar Pistorius.

:02:58. > :03:03.You can no longer say that you are running against the clock, because

:03:03. > :03:13.you're running with the clock! Anyway, this is the you right way

:04:04. > :04:11.relay team as well. Got a silver medal even though he did not run in

:04:11. > :04:18.the final. Watch for his trademark late surge. Let's see what Sir the

:04:18. > :04:28.impact he can make on the rest of these 400 metres runners. -- what

:04:28. > :04:45.

:04:45. > :04:52.of the blocks. Kevin Morley going out hard in lane number six. Chris

:04:52. > :05:02.Clark going well. He looks to be in a comfortable position. As they

:05:02. > :05:02.

:05:02. > :05:08.approached the bend. The Belgian twins beginning to make their move.

:05:08. > :05:17.As we come into the home straight, it is a private duel between these

:05:17. > :05:25.identical siblings. Jonathan moving away. He takes it! His brother,

:05:25. > :05:31.Kevin, is second. 44.79 at the winning time. As sporting embrace

:05:31. > :05:41.between the identical twins. It was Jonathan, the Belgian record holder,

:05:41. > :05:42.

:05:42. > :05:47.who got the nod. Kevin maybe the third best in the world according

:05:47. > :05:55.to Daegu, but tonight he is not the best in his family. That accolade

:05:55. > :06:02.goes to Jonathan. This Belgian club absolutely adores these twins.

:06:02. > :06:10.Every time they go around, there are photographs. They are on

:06:10. > :06:16.billboards. The cameras clicking away. Jonathan just out doing Kevin.

:06:16. > :06:20.At a major championships the roles seem to be reversed. From the

:06:20. > :06:25.blocks he is very strong, very powerful, very aggressive. You can

:06:25. > :06:31.imagine Jonathan will be chasing his brother, Kevin. He has Tim

:06:31. > :06:37.early in his sights. He really worked it around this turn. Uses

:06:37. > :06:43.the echelon of the bend. Using all of the sprint speed he has. A very

:06:43. > :06:48.good 200 metres. Watch Kevin. He begins to claw back as it gets

:06:48. > :06:58.closer to the line. He is not too far away. A great performance by

:06:58. > :07:05.

:07:05. > :07:10.advantage, held his form superbly well. Just to hold off the European

:07:10. > :07:15.champion and world bronze-medallist. Coming through on the inside, Oscar

:07:15. > :07:23.Pistorius, who made the charge for the line. We are awaiting

:07:23. > :07:33.confirmation. We have been told he got third. A super performance from

:07:33. > :07:33.

:07:33. > :07:43.Oscar Pistorius. His personal best is now 45.07. Really making an

:07:43. > :07:53.impact in able-bodied sport. The level of respect he earns continues

:07:53. > :08:19.

:08:19. > :08:25.to increase from the athletics former world junior champion. He

:08:25. > :08:34.will win the men's triple jump with his first effort. No coverage of

:08:34. > :08:43.that. This is his final effort. He bailed out of that jump. Camp they

:08:53. > :09:00.

:09:00. > :09:10.last two Jones. A good scalp for Diamond League standings. Let's

:09:10. > :09:15.

:09:15. > :09:21.Oscar, many congratulations. If it wasn't for her twin sons, you would

:09:21. > :09:25.have won? Yes, they are unbelievable athlete. True

:09:25. > :09:29.professionals. It is great to have an opportunity to run against them

:09:29. > :09:33.in their home city. I am unbelievably happy with my

:09:33. > :09:37.performance. The crowd was phenomenal. The second fastest time.

:09:38. > :09:41.I was feeling a bit tired. I thought of I could just have one

:09:41. > :09:47.more good race before the end of the year, I would be happy. I do

:09:47. > :09:51.not want to rake over old Coles, but where you were coming round the

:09:51. > :09:56.top bend, and you're a writer at the back, and yet in the home

:09:56. > :10:00.stretch you come through with an amazing surge. Mentally even though

:10:00. > :10:07.you're a long way back, what sort of reassurance do you have that you

:10:07. > :10:15.will come through the field? It is a gamble. This is probably one of

:10:15. > :10:20.the first races where I have gone back. I have always run a faster

:10:20. > :10:27.200 and slower second 200. There is a lot of wind on the back straight.

:10:27. > :10:33.Some of them hit it hard the on the final stretch. I was running

:10:33. > :10:38.efficiently at the pace I was in. That is that to make a decision.

:10:38. > :10:42.Have to move along the second corner. Felt good. I do not know if

:10:42. > :10:47.you Sobhi publicity beforehand here which had you and Usain Bolt

:10:47. > :10:51.alongside each other as the great figures to attract this crowd. How

:10:51. > :10:55.do you cope with the sense of adulation and the way that you find

:10:55. > :11:02.yourself always the centre of attention? A I think it sometimes

:11:02. > :11:07.does get a bit difficult. Positive and negative influences. It is

:11:07. > :11:11.great to be part of a sport like this, track-and-field is a hard

:11:11. > :11:15.core sport. You see performance of like Yohan Blake tonight, many

:11:15. > :11:19.people around the world will be talking about that tomorrow. It is

:11:19. > :11:23.great to be among the athlete to have that opportunity. I have to

:11:23. > :11:27.remember where my focus is and where my priorities lie. That is in

:11:27. > :11:37.my training. It is great to have you as part of

:11:37. > :12:16.

:12:16. > :12:26.85.06. This is round three for the newly crowned world champion. That

:12:26. > :12:26.

:12:26. > :12:36.has sailed out! Way beyond 85 metres. He is in the ascendancy

:12:36. > :12:46.tonight. Superb form from the German. That could well be an

:12:46. > :12:50.

:12:50. > :12:55.improvement. He took the lead with his first round effort. It TA 0.36.

:12:55. > :12:59.De Zordo has the lead and a new personal best.

:12:59. > :13:09.Great performances all over this stadium tonight. We may see another

:13:09. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:17.one here. The women's steeplechase. It is not Kenyans and Ethiopian to

:13:17. > :13:21.dominate. It is Russia who have the best steeplechasers in the world,

:13:21. > :13:27.including the newly crowned world champion. She is rumoured to be

:13:27. > :13:32.going for a very quick time. The world record is held by a her

:13:32. > :13:38.compatriot. Anything close up to nine minutes would be pretty good.

:13:38. > :13:46.I have to say, they do not look as though they have started to quickly.

:13:46. > :13:56.I have been told they will go through 1000 metres at about 3.2.

:13:56. > :14:06.

:14:06. > :14:12.at one metre 96. The world champion has gone clear. She has got

:14:12. > :14:16.clearance has always so far. Di Martino, third at the World

:14:16. > :14:26.Championships in Daegu, to go with the European indoor title she won

:14:26. > :14:29.

:14:29. > :14:36.earlier this year. Not to be. She crashes out. Goes out at 1.96. Last

:14:36. > :14:46.it has another attempt at this height. The competition still

:14:46. > :15:08.

:15:08. > :15:13.race again. How she would love to take victory ore her Russian rival

:15:13. > :15:23.after coming in second place. -- over her Russian rival. After

:15:23. > :15:25.

:15:25. > :15:30.coming in second place in Daegu. Asking for support from the crowd.

:15:30. > :15:40.Just staying in her own little bubble, visualising what she may go

:15:40. > :15:42.

:15:42. > :15:52.on to do next. Our focus remains on the Olympic Silver Medallist, now a

:15:52. > :15:54.

:15:54. > :16:01.former world champion A third and final attempt at 1.96. Oh! Wasn't

:16:01. > :16:08.really close. So no victory here, but she will be the diamond race

:16:08. > :16:13.winner. Hasn't been the best of years for the Croatian. But what a

:16:13. > :16:22.redoubtable competitor she is. She fights for everything. Even though

:16:22. > :16:32.she had the Diamond race, she would have loved to have won tonight.

:16:32. > :16:33.

:16:33. > :16:39.1.93 her best at the third attempt. Three failures at 1.9. Just three

:16:39. > :16:49.left. Back with this 3,000 metres and our intelligence, or my

:16:49. > :16:51.

:16:51. > :17:00.intelligence was nonsense. 7.7 they went through the first 1,000. They

:17:00. > :17:10.didn't push it on at all. Now she is in the lead and behind her

:17:10. > :17:15.

:17:15. > :17:23.Njoroge and we have the top six from the World Championship. The

:17:23. > :17:27.Russian won with a great piece of front running. Zaripova has spent

:17:27. > :17:31.time learning the technique and using all her energy well and

:17:31. > :17:38.crossing the barrier of all the athletes better than any. That is

:17:38. > :17:42.what takes her head and shoulders marrys and couples that with great

:17:42. > :17:47.endurance and great belief in that she is the Queen of this event and

:17:47. > :17:53.all the runners behind her now if they are going to challenge her,

:17:53. > :17:59.they will have to sort out that technique. Simple as that. It is an

:17:59. > :18:07.vent that the Kenyans seem to take a while to find the athletes who

:18:07. > :18:17.could start running the quick times. Now Thorkildsen. World Silver

:18:17. > :18:23.Medallist from Daegu. Not going to trouble the leaders. Thorkildsen

:18:23. > :18:33.remains in fourth place. Not been a happy two or three weeks for Mr

:18:33. > :18:39.

:18:39. > :18:43.Thorkildsen. Zaripova stretching out. The athlete in second, Ghribi,

:18:44. > :18:50.she ran really well. And Chemos looks as if she is struggling. She

:18:50. > :18:56.is in sixth. It hasn't been a very fast place. But Ghribi ran well in

:18:56. > :19:01.those Championships. But your right about her technique, the Russian

:19:01. > :19:09.always takes a couple of yards over each barrier. Yes it is hard to say

:19:09. > :19:13.with our middle distance runners, she looks a bit heavy, Chemos,

:19:13. > :19:17.sometimes I wonder whether she is not interested. But she will claw

:19:17. > :19:22.her way back. She is a good middle distance runner. We have seen her

:19:22. > :19:26.win on many occasions. Tonight maybe a race a bit too much for her.

:19:26. > :19:33.A bit too far. The quality athletes are in front of her and the race

:19:33. > :19:38.will unfold very shortly. Chemos can't be beaten as far as the

:19:38. > :19:43.Diamond race is concerned. She judged her season wrong, she was in

:19:43. > :19:49.superb form in Doha in May. It is great the win the first three or

:19:49. > :19:53.four Diamond Leagues sh but you need to judge your --, but you need

:19:53. > :19:59.to judge your season well. Maybe she thinks she has the money in the

:19:59. > :20:08.bag and can't be beat. But she looked as though she is struggling

:20:08. > :20:16.in Daegu. Did well to come back and sneak a medal. At the front unjor

:20:16. > :20:21.odge making up the - Njoroge making up the group. She never looks like

:20:22. > :20:25.she is pushing it on, but it is a relentless pace. The last lap is

:20:25. > :20:33.the most important lap of the lot. This is an event that is still

:20:33. > :20:37.under a massive scope. We can can see that world record at 8 minutes

:20:37. > :20:42.58.81. Still got room for improvement. A lot of talented

:20:42. > :20:46.ladys can do this distance well. I think when they focus on it. An

:20:46. > :20:56.accident there in the wort jump. Once they focus on it. We can see

:20:56. > :21:05.

:21:05. > :21:15.this world record lowers to ta 8.50 -- to that �8.50 mark. -- to that

:21:15. > :21:17.

:21:17. > :21:27.�.50 mark. 350 metres to go. The world champion leading. The Silver

:21:27. > :21:32.

:21:32. > :21:36.Medallist behind her and Njoroge next. Zaripova with work to do. She

:21:36. > :21:44.needs to take the barriers well. The Russian attacks the barrier.

:21:44. > :21:52.Just gets a metre or so. The tuenisian has to come back and

:21:52. > :21:57.Njoroge is still there. Will they hurdle it? No foot oopbt barrier.

:21:57. > :22:00.Zaripova through round the top bend and gets two or three metres.

:22:00. > :22:05.Ghribi trying to respond, but not able to find anything. The Russian

:22:05. > :22:12.with just one more barrier. Makes it perfectly and kicks away. The

:22:12. > :22:18.world champion wins the final Diamond League of the year.

:22:18. > :22:28.Zaripova wins. Ghribi finishing second and Njoroge hanging on for

:22:28. > :22:37.

:22:37. > :22:43.third. The women's high jump, the bar at 1.99. She continues her

:22:43. > :22:51.perfect mark. A marvellous clearance. She now has the

:22:51. > :22:56.advantage and the lead in this women's high jump competition. So

:22:56. > :23:03.much daylight between her body and the bar. Looks as though there is

:23:03. > :23:13.plenty more in the tank. She is the world leader this year. As well as

:23:13. > :23:14.

:23:14. > :23:19.the world champion. A national record. She is the outright leader.

:23:19. > :23:27.Several things need to be discussed, one you have won the Diamond League.

:23:27. > :23:31.That is a few bob. That is a nice bonus. My hard work has paid off.

:23:31. > :23:38.Stkpwhru it is a kind of tailed off kind of year. -- But it is a kind

:23:38. > :23:42.of tailed off kind of year. Yes it is difficult to cock Bam at tend.

:23:42. > :23:46.Most years I have competed in -- difficult to come back at the end.

:23:46. > :23:50.But most years I have had to compete in Gateshead or Crystal

:23:50. > :23:54.Palace. Coming here, there was no emotions. It was like my World

:23:54. > :24:01.Championships finished. I didn't feel like I had anything to do

:24:01. > :24:05.today. Is it still eating away at you that you wereen in Daegu?

:24:05. > :24:10.was fine after the final. I said to the sponsors that Christian put

:24:10. > :24:14.this a great jump, I put in a great series of jump and I'm pleased with

:24:15. > :24:19.my performance. I can't fault it. I felt I had a bigger jump in my legs,

:24:19. > :24:24.but it wasn't to be. It helps me to next year and takes some of the

:24:24. > :24:27.pressure off for the Olympics. I have said since winning my European

:24:27. > :24:32.title, that World Championships is a stepping stone. I have done that

:24:32. > :24:38.now and can see from my performances that as long as I have

:24:38. > :24:43.been saying I can jump 18 metres, I can see us there. I jumped 17

:24:43. > :24:47.standing upright. It is in the legs. A lot of people who don't know much

:24:47. > :24:52.about the sport, say it is a two- horse race. Now it is a lot more

:24:52. > :24:58.than that. Does that change your focus? Not at all. Even going into

:24:58. > :25:03.the World Championship, I said, although he pulled out, it wasn't

:25:03. > :25:07.easy. There was always somebody who could pull out a big jump. I missed

:25:07. > :25:12.the trial and trained through Crystal Palace, knowing I had a six

:25:12. > :25:18.week block to get thins right and work hard. I did and I put in a

:25:18. > :25:22.good, it was a good competition and unfortunately it wasn't going to be

:25:22. > :25:25.a one-man show. There will always be people there that can snatch

:25:26. > :25:33.that medal. I have to make sure that doesn't happen next year.

:25:33. > :25:37.Marks out of ten for 2011? Ore I don't know. Request me that

:25:37. > :25:42.question next year. Please, I'm content. I'm not going to complain.

:25:42. > :25:46.Any other year coming out with a Silver Medal I would have been

:25:46. > :25:50.distraught and you would have seen me crying. But a World Championship

:25:50. > :25:55.this year was not the focus. Next year is what matters. In eleven

:25:55. > :26:01.month you will be looking back and that won't matter. There will be

:26:02. > :26:11.another world clamp ships so who cares? Thank you. -- championships.

:26:17. > :26:25.rueg has been queen Midas in -- Christine Ohurougu has been queen

:26:25. > :26:34.Midas in reverse. There is a lot of other sport on the BBC this weekend.

:26:34. > :26:44.Tomorrow British Olympic dreams. That is on BBC1 at 2.30 and

:26:44. > :27:01.

:27:01. > :27:06.followed by the best moments from dramatic night of athletics for

:27:06. > :27:10.many a year. One of the most dramatic saw Sally Pearson,

:27:10. > :27:15.previously unbeatable in the women's high hurdles, crashing to

:27:15. > :27:25.the deck when she hit the fifth hurdle and I chatted to her about

:27:25. > :27:29.what has been a monumentally disappointing end to her year.

:27:29. > :27:37.Sally, you have had so many triumphs this year, how are you

:27:37. > :27:41.feel something Shattered. I wanted to win that race. But this is

:27:46. > :27:52.But you brefr the -- prefer the highs. At the moment of impact, did

:27:53. > :27:57.you think what on earth was that? You're so smooth normally. I felt

:27:57. > :28:02.like what came up and bit me? I don't know what happened. I

:28:02. > :28:08.remember hitting a hurdle and then I was on the ground. I blanked out

:28:08. > :28:14.a bit. It will be interesting to see what happened. I think I was

:28:14. > :28:19.going very fast and going about 12.4. But I fell over. And I just

:28:19. > :28:24.have to learn from it and move on. Nobody in history will remember

:28:24. > :28:30.what happened in Brussel, but they will know what happened in Daegu.

:28:30. > :28:36.Yes I run 12.28, I'm the world champion. That was my goal for the

:28:36. > :28:46.career. Well done. Sorry about tonight. Onwards and upwards.

:28:46. > :29:11.

:29:11. > :29:18.you. The women's 400 on the track. of 44 kilometres an hour per night.

:29:18. > :29:27.That is around 28mph. And Yohan Blake x we will be maybe talking

:29:27. > :29:33.about Christine Ohurougu's false start in Daegu. If blame had gone

:29:33. > :29:38.out of blocks, we could have had a world record. Yes, he can be

:29:38. > :29:41.quicker and that would take him past Usain Bolt's world record.

:29:41. > :29:47.thought you might be interested in that. Christine had a good

:29:48. > :29:52.performance last week. Let's hope she can can build on that. She is

:29:52. > :29:58.finding form. That false start in Daegu that didn't give ther chance

:29:58. > :30:01.to perform and she didn't look herself in the relay. But by all

:30:01. > :30:05.accounts training will be going well and maybe getting some

:30:05. > :30:09.encouragement for the defending Olympic champ yn as she heads

:30:09. > :30:19.towards London next year of course. She will be looking for a good

:30:19. > :30:29.

:30:29. > :30:39.to the United States. A very tired athlete after taking on the double

:30:39. > :31:08.

:31:08. > :31:15.past Ohuruogu. It is my show leading. Williams-Mills also

:31:15. > :31:21.setting the pace. -- Montsho. The world champion looking strong, has

:31:21. > :31:27.she has done all season. Williams- Mills trying to stay with hair. But

:31:27. > :31:33.Montsho has done this time and time again this year. Opera go finishing

:31:33. > :31:40.pretty quickly. -- Christine Ohuruogo. But the world champion

:31:40. > :31:47.miles ahead. Another victory consolidating her world No. 1 spot.

:31:47. > :31:53.And the Diamond League title to boot. Christine Ohuruogu finished

:31:53. > :32:02.strongly. No doubt about the winner. What do you make of Christine's

:32:02. > :32:07.run? One of the problems when you miss so many races is getting into

:32:07. > :32:12.the rhythm of the event. That is where she has suffered this year.

:32:12. > :32:16.She spent a lot of time recovering from injury instead of being able

:32:16. > :32:21.to improve on her technique, her running style. That those things

:32:21. > :32:31.make a big difference to where she could be in this field. I am pretty

:32:31. > :32:31.

:32:31. > :32:36.pleased. She is obviously showing that real sense of improvement.

:32:36. > :32:40.Today 51.37. She will be a little bit disappointed. But she is back

:32:40. > :32:45.on the track and she is running. That is the most important thing.

:32:45. > :32:55.Let's hope she can knuckle down and stay injury-free. Hopefully we can

:32:55. > :33:03.

:33:03. > :33:13.that one metre 99. The former Olympic champion. Her third and

:33:13. > :33:15.

:33:15. > :33:25.final attempt. Not closed. There is your winner. The world champion. A

:33:25. > :33:27.

:33:27. > :33:36.good second place for the 4th place athlete from Daegu. Not really

:33:36. > :33:46.close. Glance did with her shoulder. -- glanced it. The result of the

:33:46. > :33:47.

:33:47. > :33:52.women's 400. Business as usual for Montsho. No

:33:52. > :34:00.doubt about the winner of the Diamond League. An insurmountable

:34:00. > :34:05.lead. 28 points maybe the most points of anybody in the Diamond

:34:05. > :34:12.League this year. Totally dominant. Christine Ohuruogu, what did she

:34:12. > :34:17.make of it? She is what John. What beat Jamaica that? -- did you

:34:18. > :34:25.make of it? It was quite a tough race. I am happy that I am here. I

:34:25. > :34:31.enjoyed the race for once. I did not get the time at though. I was

:34:31. > :34:37.hoping for a faster time. It did not happen. I am going to Askew,

:34:37. > :34:41.injuries have blighted you're season, have and they? Yes. That is

:34:41. > :34:47.how the sport does. You have to pick up as best you can and get on

:34:47. > :34:51.with the job. You must have had some bar -- dark days? I have been

:34:51. > :34:55.bad quite a bit for the last three years. This is what I do. This is

:34:55. > :35:01.part of the sport. If it was that easy everybody would be doing it,

:35:01. > :35:10.everybody would be winning. I just keep going. Do you feel like you

:35:10. > :35:14.have turned a corner? I would rather turn a corner every day. It

:35:14. > :35:19.is little things. The little challenge is you have to keep

:35:19. > :35:23.trying to work herself up from. the winter are going to be very

:35:23. > :35:28.hard because you have missed so much of the summer, or is it a case

:35:28. > :35:33.of starting from scratch? winter is always difficult. That is

:35:33. > :35:39.the basis of the summer season. It is the same. We do not change it

:35:39. > :35:49.much. Let's hope four years on, the same result at the Olympics. Thank

:35:49. > :36:04.

:36:04. > :36:10.Greek. Lavillenie, bronze-medallist in Daegu, cleared the same height.

:36:10. > :36:18.But it was on the third attempt. He came in second place on countback.

:36:19. > :36:28.It was only malt more who could catch him tonight. -- Malte Mohr.

:36:29. > :36:41.

:36:41. > :36:51.He will be the Diamond League Diamond League race. Lavillenie, a

:36:51. > :36:56.

:36:56. > :37:01.Earlier tonight, one of the great athletes of the last decade, Bekele,

:37:01. > :37:05.fighting his way back after virtually two years of the track,

:37:05. > :37:09.was in the 10,000 metres. What this as an example of great distance

:37:09. > :37:19.running and a fantastic race. It running and a fantastic race. It

:37:19. > :37:24.

:37:24. > :37:28.surprising everybody by virtue of the fact he is staying with this

:37:28. > :37:32.very fast pace. It has been relentless the quick from the

:37:32. > :37:41.beginning. There were some doubters yesterday when Bekele said

:37:41. > :37:49.yesterday he could run 26.40. He is working hard. He is still very much

:37:49. > :37:55.involved. They had been running about 26.50 pace. Each 1000 metres

:37:55. > :38:04.around 2.40. The slowest one we have had has been to 0.44. We have

:38:04. > :38:14.had a couple in the 239 region. -- 2.39. Kit Chalky, we do not often

:38:14. > :38:15.

:38:15. > :38:19.see him. -- Kipchoge. He is probably -- he has probably got

:38:19. > :38:29.have an eye on this distance for the Olympic Games next year. Four

:38:29. > :38:45.

:38:45. > :38:51.was here six years ago in Brussels that the world record was set by

:38:51. > :38:56.Bekele. Some of the quickest times ever happened set here. Eight of

:38:56. > :39:02.the fastest top 10 times have been run on this track, in this stadium.

:39:02. > :39:12.They loathe their distance running. -- they really love their distance

:39:12. > :39:36.

:39:36. > :39:43.running. Kits again, unusual to see sure -- sure Mo farmer will be

:39:43. > :39:49.watching this. His training partner having a great run. The crucial

:39:49. > :39:53.last 1000 metres. He will have half an eye on Bekele. He said in the

:39:53. > :39:58.press conference yesterday, I almost gave up after all of the

:39:58. > :40:06.injury problems. But if I can just get an encouraging run here it will

:40:06. > :40:12.give me something to work on going into an Olympic year. Galen Robbe

:40:12. > :40:19.looking incredibly relaxed in third. Was not able to find any place in

:40:19. > :40:26.that the 10,000 metres final in Daegu when it all kicked off. At

:40:26. > :40:31.the moment the American and Bekele looking threatening. Two laps

:40:31. > :40:37.remaining. The American goals past could today. Bekele still

:40:38. > :40:41.responding. The greatest distance runner we have seen on the track.

:40:41. > :40:45.For two years he has been struggling with injury. Can he come

:40:45. > :40:53.across back with an amazing Victory? It would be incredible if

:40:53. > :41:03.he was to pull it off. They have been dropping off one by one. Four

:41:03. > :41:05.

:41:05. > :41:12.remaining. Kipchoge looks like he is struggling. 600 remaining. The

:41:12. > :41:16.American is going to finish way inside the American record. Bekele

:41:16. > :41:26.finding a little bit of pace. Has he still got the cake that we

:41:26. > :41:29.

:41:29. > :41:37.always associated with them? The crowd responding to the Ethiopian.

:41:37. > :41:46.Surely the American will finish third. Who will win this? That lap

:41:47. > :41:52.was 61. That has got to hurt. The pace -- the pace increases. Bekele

:41:52. > :41:58.in the position he has been in so many times. There he goes! He never

:41:58. > :42:06.leaves it too late. Has he got enough this time? Rotates response.

:42:06. > :42:10.Bekele has not got rid of them. He is still there. It is going to be a

:42:11. > :42:16.superb run from the Kenyan. A massive personal best. What about

:42:16. > :42:24.Bekele? Has he got another Deere? He has left a gap. Bekele kicks

:42:24. > :42:33.again. This is an incredible comeback! Two years away, Bekele is

:42:33. > :42:37.back! 26.43. As if it was not enough to win, he has just produced

:42:38. > :42:47.the world's fastest time and has gone quicker and more fat did at

:42:48. > :42:50.

:42:50. > :42:54.the beginning of the season. -- Mo a Bekele. He has got a lot of

:42:54. > :43:01.people to thank, particularly his wife and his physio and his coach.

:43:01. > :43:07.What does this mean for next year? Full of guts and determination. He

:43:07. > :43:12.was hurting several laps out. They did their best to get rid of them.

:43:12. > :43:17.But if you do not get rid of Bekele, this is what happens. The sprint is

:43:17. > :43:27.still there. My goodness, that will send out a warning to everybody in

:43:27. > :43:35.

:43:35. > :43:40.time. That time less relevant than his performance. A great

:43:40. > :43:49.performance from the Kenyan. And a new American record. Some real

:43:49. > :43:57.reward at the end of a hard season. The winner of the women's high jump.

:43:57. > :44:03.The world champion from Daegu. She is the only athlete clear at 1.99.

:44:03. > :44:09.This is her third and final attempt at two metres and two. She has done

:44:09. > :44:17.it! Super response! It is as though she could not quite believe it. No

:44:17. > :44:24.mistake. Consolidate her position as the world's best. It has been an

:44:24. > :44:29.amazing night in Brussels. Some money highlight. The 10,000 metres.

:44:29. > :44:37.-- so many highlight. Now in the 5,000, it looked as though they

:44:37. > :44:46.were heading for a time that would use up the best in the world. Roars

:44:46. > :44:52.everywhere. The pacemaker's job is done. It has slowed. Heading for

:44:52. > :44:57.well under 13 minutes. Assuming they would speed up at the end, we

:44:57. > :45:07.are looking for something quick. It has slowed a little. We will come

:45:07. > :45:39.

:45:39. > :45:46.clearance for the world No 1. Cragg is showing good form. He is having

:45:46. > :45:56.a good performance here in third place. Her ka is going past him, --

:45:56. > :46:10.

:46:10. > :46:15.Merga is going past him. Longosiwa is there. Just saying to the

:46:15. > :46:22.athlete behind him. He was unfortunate in the World

:46:22. > :46:29.Championships. He well and you -- he fell and you never know. He may

:46:29. > :46:33.have got a medal and Merga in that race, he is full of elbows, the

:46:34. > :46:37.little Ethiopian.Less not a popular man for people to run with. He

:46:37. > :46:43.often gets himself in difficult situations. In the World

:46:43. > :46:49.Championships he ran, the race kicked off on the inside and had

:46:49. > :46:59.the Bronze Medal came taken from him after actually being on the

:46:59. > :46:59.

:46:59. > :47:08.rostrum. Chepkok still leading. A couple of new young Kenyans in this.

:47:08. > :47:15.Merga is in third, look the elbows are there again. Cragg is behind.

:47:15. > :47:25.Three laps to go. The time has slipped. But if they pick it up opt

:47:25. > :47:26.

:47:26. > :47:32.last couple of laps, they will still p close to 13 minutes.

:47:32. > :47:42.Longosiwa looks as though he is edging to move into the lead. The

:47:42. > :47:46.

:47:46. > :47:52.basis dropping. Rop is on the inside. The jostling starts. 2.39

:47:52. > :47:56.for that kilometre. How quick will we go at the end? They are outside

:47:56. > :48:00.the 13 minute pace. But they will come back. Cragg of Ireland. Just

:48:00. > :48:05.on the back of that leading group, trying to find something at the end

:48:05. > :48:10.and what did I say about Merga? She just doesn't know where to put

:48:10. > :48:16.himself. He is a dangerous athlete to have around. He was on the

:48:16. > :48:22.inside, decides he wants to go outside, doesn't care who is in the

:48:22. > :48:32.way. He is a nice guy, but just doesn't run that way. Merga hasn't

:48:32. > :48:33.

:48:33. > :48:39.been so sharp on the track this summer. They are starting to gather.

:48:39. > :48:45.Just over 600 to go. Longosiwa looking threatening. And this is a

:48:45. > :48:52.race in which Alistair Cragg showing the form he showed a few

:48:52. > :49:00.years ago. Back to the high jump. So attempting a new world record.

:49:00. > :49:07.The bar set at 2.10. Not to be on the first attempt. But given the

:49:07. > :49:15.way she is performing, how close can she go? Merga trying to push on,

:49:15. > :49:21.those elbows are going as much as they can. Chepkok is still there.

:49:21. > :49:27.Who will kick first? Around 12.03 at the bell. They will get under 13

:49:27. > :49:37.with a big last lap. Four are in contention. Merga, normally would

:49:37. > :49:38.

:49:38. > :49:43.have been able to kick on and win. On the outside, Chepkok goes first.

:49:43. > :49:52.Merga responds. Longosiwa gets into it it. Still anybody's race with

:49:52. > :50:00.200 to go. Merga has kicked hard. Longosiwa on his shoulder. Merga

:50:00. > :50:04.trying with those hunched shoulders to find some speed. But Longosiwa

:50:04. > :50:10.looks dangerous. Longosiwa trying to kick on. Merga fighting him. Can

:50:10. > :50:18.the Ethiopian hang on? Half a metre, one metre, two metres now, Merga

:50:18. > :50:22.will win, just inside 13 minutes. 55 for the last lap. He gets a bit

:50:22. > :50:27.of conSolation for what has been a -- consolation for what has been a

:50:27. > :50:34.disa I pointing summer for him. It is was not the 5,000 the organisers

:50:34. > :50:37.wanted. They wanted Mo Farah. We will see him on the roads on

:50:37. > :50:42.Tyneside tomorrow. But Merga getting the victory tonight. That

:50:42. > :50:49.will mean not only the win in this race, but that he wins the Diamond

:50:49. > :50:59.race for the 5,000. The sprint returns for Merga and Longosiwa has

:50:59. > :50:59.

:51:00. > :51:04.to settle for second. That was a great race. It has been one of the

:51:04. > :51:10.most extraordinary, it is like having an him pibs in a fantastic

:51:11. > :51:15.night. These are some of the -- Olympics in a fantastic night. Here

:51:15. > :51:22.are some of the highlights. What is topping the bill tonight? That is

:51:22. > :51:29.the question? Is it Yohan Blake? The second fastest time ever in the

:51:29. > :51:33.200 metres. I will tell you about other headlines. Usain Bolt the

:51:33. > :51:39.fastest time in the world in the 1 hundred as we go for a world record

:51:39. > :51:45.in the high jump. Here we go. Well I suspect you know she missed. She

:51:45. > :51:48.didn't manage it. Bekele in the 10,000 was awesome after two years

:51:48. > :51:56.off. Mo Farah will have watched that with considerable interest. He

:51:56. > :52:03.is running in Newcastle tomorrowment and -- tomorrow and

:52:03. > :52:06.for every up there is a down. Sally Pearson with this horror smash. But

:52:06. > :52:12.it was just her pride that was dented. We didn't is a chance to

:52:12. > :52:19.talk to you Colin about that Sally Pearson incident. But that is raulz

:52:19. > :52:23.the fear. You get it wrong and bang. Yes Sally would have fallen some

:52:23. > :52:29.times in training and would have been used to it. When you have been

:52:29. > :52:34.so sensational you can imagine how dispiepbtd she is. I - Disappointed

:52:34. > :52:41.she is. There will be a third attempt at the world high jump

:52:41. > :52:46.record in a moment. Now Denise and Colin we thought we would talk of

:52:46. > :52:56.your athletes of the year. It has been a fascinating year. Who stands

:52:56. > :52:56.

:52:56. > :53:01.out? Vivienne from Kenya and that sensational double at Daegu.

:53:01. > :53:06.Started with the 10,000 and then this 5,000 victory. A stunning

:53:06. > :53:11.double. A fantastic year starting off at the world cross where she

:53:11. > :53:18.won gold. Fantastic for the Kenyan women. For you Colin? For me the

:53:18. > :53:23.young lady who had a disastrous night, Sally pear sovereign. She

:53:23. > :53:27.was sensational all year. -- Pearson. How she has achieved what

:53:27. > :53:33.she has achieved has been amazing. Worked hard on her technique and he

:53:33. > :53:38.speed and it is has been married beautifully and ended up with a

:53:38. > :53:44.world title. We saw her crying tonight, but that was her exulting

:53:44. > :53:50.at being world champion. We will ask Steve cram in a moment. But now

:53:50. > :53:54.back to the high jump. Will this crown the entire evening.

:53:54. > :54:04.Sofrpblgts the competition winner, the -- So the competition winner,

:54:04. > :54:08.

:54:08. > :54:13.the world champion. This would be a new world record. Now the crowd to

:54:13. > :54:22.a person standing on their feet. This third and final attempt at a

:54:22. > :54:26.world record height. Not to be. But a meeting record. A world champion

:54:26. > :54:32.from Daegu, the crowd rise and give hear standing ovation for what has

:54:33. > :54:40.been a superb demonstration of high jumping all night. A new meeting

:54:40. > :54:50.record at 2.05. A second attempt at 2.10 was so close. She clipped it

:54:50. > :55:18.

:55:18. > :55:24.with her calves. There is Steve Cram what is your athlete of

:55:24. > :55:29.the year. Let me guess? No I won't let you guess. It gives me great

:55:29. > :55:33.pleasure, I have had such, I don't know, fun is not the word, but

:55:33. > :55:39.watching Mo Farah all season. When I saw him at the start of the year,

:55:39. > :55:46.we had been watching Mo since he was about 17 or 18. And to watch an

:55:46. > :55:51.athlete grow and maure and develop and -- mature and develop and what

:55:51. > :55:57.ehas been able to do has been phenomenal. He has been on top of

:55:57. > :56:03.the word. After the disappointment of 10,000 metres and to come back

:56:03. > :56:08.in a top class 5,000 and win, he deserves all the accolades he will

:56:08. > :56:17.get. We're going to see many in the two miles in the Great City games

:56:17. > :56:21.tomorrow. And there is a great line up, with Carmelita Jeter and others.

:56:21. > :56:30.It is a match between Great Britain and the United States. That is
