:00:47. > :00:50.Good evening and welcome to Lausanne, the Olympic capital for
:00:50. > :00:55.live diamond lead athletics. Colin Jackson and I are here trackside
:00:55. > :00:59.and finally the sun shining on the diamond lead after the downpours of
:00:59. > :01:03.New York and Oslo. A fantastic evenings athletics to look out for.
:01:03. > :01:13.The men are out for our very first event of the evening, the 400
:01:13. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:22.metres. Let's take a look at the lookout for lane at's 7 and 8. We
:01:22. > :01:32.can hand over to our commentary team for the Stevens -- this
:01:32. > :01:50.
:01:50. > :01:54.Bob is Silicon to get amongst the medals in eight weeks' time. --
:01:54. > :02:01.obviously looking to get amongst the medals in eight weeks' time. A
:02:01. > :02:11.very strong young man. Jermaine Gonzalez, who hit the big time last
:02:11. > :02:12.
:02:12. > :02:18.year who. 44.4. A new national record a year ago. Kevin, the
:02:18. > :02:27.European champion from last year, the Belgian. He, too, needs to
:02:27. > :02:33.start making some inroads. David of Ireland makes the line-up. A slow
:02:33. > :02:39.start of this year but he holds the national record for Ireland, but
:02:39. > :02:45.that, again, is not a great draw for him on the outside. There is
:02:45. > :02:51.Henry. Semi-finalist in the Olympic Games in 2008. 4th at the World
:02:51. > :02:55.Championships two years ago. And really, the Americans have not hit
:02:56. > :03:05.their straps this year. They had their championships last week but
:03:06. > :03:19.
:03:19. > :03:25.nothing particularly special over about it, in my mind. Let's take a
:03:25. > :03:30.look at it again. I'm pretty sure that was David. I was looking down
:03:30. > :03:35.across the track. We have a wonderful position here at the
:03:35. > :03:40.Athletissima. It's a lovely evening. Quite breezy up here in the stands,
:03:40. > :03:45.but I suspect a lot more gentle on the track. That would be a great
:03:45. > :03:50.shame when he needs races, David, if he is disqualified here. Yes, it
:03:50. > :03:57.was a clear case, wasn't it? I know we had a green card in the past,
:03:57. > :04:03.but that look to to be spot-on. David is on his way out, I think.
:04:03. > :04:07.Still waiting to be told but he has been told now, and away he goes.
:04:07. > :04:16.The Irish man does not get his chance. A great shame, really. He
:04:16. > :04:23.has a couple of the indoor European golds, 2005 and at 2007. Looking to
:04:23. > :04:29.build up to the World Championships this year. He has gone. Seven men
:04:29. > :04:35.are lining up for the 400 metres, the second time of asking. The man
:04:35. > :04:45.from Ireland has disqualified himself from lane eight. You don't
:04:45. > :05:01.
:05:01. > :05:08.see disqualifications too often. run this one? Gonzalez, second on
:05:08. > :05:15.the left, a very big man. Very steadily. Henry, in 4th. Henry has
:05:15. > :05:22.the long hair. Outside him, very aggressive. Gonzalez the
:05:22. > :05:27.challengers into the bend. We know he finishes strongly. Gonzalez is
:05:27. > :05:33.still going strongly. Henry is coming around the bend. Gonzalez is
:05:33. > :05:41.leading now. Here comes the European champion! He is putting it
:05:41. > :05:48.on the line against Gonzalez. It is a victory for Gonzalez. By about
:05:48. > :05:53.half a metre. Greats battle between them with every stride down the
:05:53. > :05:58.straight. Henry, a couple of metres back in third place. That is the
:05:58. > :06:05.winning time. It doesn't threaten the stadium record by Michael
:06:05. > :06:10.Johnson, which goes back 15 years. A good competitive race. He had to
:06:10. > :06:16.really dig deeper, Gonzalez. Yes, he ran a quick first to 200 metres.
:06:16. > :06:20.Plenty left, I thought, at 300 metres, but then he started to be
:06:20. > :06:26.run down but he had a little bit left at the end. He has a season
:06:26. > :06:31.best, just outside. Kevin, the European champion, he looks in very
:06:31. > :06:41.good form on the outside. Pindar not running to form, from the
:06:41. > :06:41.
:06:41. > :06:51.Bahamas. Henry in third place. A great battle at the front. These
:06:51. > :06:52.
:06:52. > :06:55.are the three. This man, clearly, Not the fastest that to this
:06:55. > :06:58.evening's action but very, very competitive and there is plenty
:06:58. > :07:05.more to come. Here is a taste of what is coming up in the next
:07:05. > :07:09.couple of hours. Dai Greene goes in the hurdles fresh from the team
:07:09. > :07:15.championships. Tonight he takes on the best in the world. It doesn't
:07:15. > :07:23.get much better than the men's triple jump. Phillips Idowu against
:07:23. > :07:29.Teddy Tamgho. In the men's 100 metres French sensation Christophe
:07:29. > :07:33.Lemaitre takes on former world record holder Asafa Powell. In the
:07:33. > :07:43.women's getting other bidders, the world champion, Caster Semenya,
:07:43. > :07:45.
:07:45. > :07:55.based is the world champion Maryam Plenty of action going on all the
:07:55. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:16.way through. -- here is this Plenty to look forward to. The
:08:16. > :08:22.weather is good, as I've said. Of for Mr Jackson, this was never the
:08:22. > :08:27.happiest hunting ground, was it? I competed here seven times but my
:08:27. > :08:29.best position was second, some of the best for me. As I look above
:08:29. > :08:37.the camera men, there are plaques with the European world record
:08:37. > :08:44.which have been broken here, and it does say, 100-metre hurdles,
:08:45. > :08:49.Lausanne. Thanks. Renowned for speed here. But we have a great
:08:49. > :08:54.race coming up later. The big news is that that Tyson day has not made
:08:54. > :08:59.it through the US trials. We were looking forward to that head-to-
:08:59. > :09:03.head clash again with Tyson and Usain Bolt but unfortunately that's
:09:03. > :09:08.not going to happen. He has an injury which has been niggling him
:09:08. > :09:12.for many years. He has a tiny injuries which set him back. That's
:09:12. > :09:16.one of the reasons we don't see him at his best all the time, but I'm
:09:16. > :09:22.looking forward to the head to head when they are both healthy and fit.
:09:22. > :09:26.It will be truly exciting. Tyson, the last few years have been
:09:26. > :09:30.a constant struggle against injury. You wonder whether his body will
:09:30. > :09:34.keep on getting him down. It's a massive shame for him because he
:09:35. > :09:40.knows what we have seen so far is not his best, and he believes he
:09:40. > :09:47.can battle seriously head-to-head and be a serious competitor to
:09:47. > :09:56.Usain Bolt. Perhaps we will see this year, at the Olympics, we will
:09:56. > :09:59.see it in London. One athlete who will be there challenging
:09:59. > :10:04.controversially is Justin Gatlin who did not make it through the US
:10:04. > :10:08.trials. He has been world champion, but unfortunately has also been
:10:08. > :10:13.positive up for four years and had a drug ban. He did very well to
:10:13. > :10:18.make the West team, and has gone under 10 seconds a few occasions
:10:18. > :10:24.this year, and will be interesting to see how we takes on the rest of
:10:24. > :10:28.the world. He is used to take non- Americans. He will be taking on the
:10:28. > :10:35.Jamaicans in. It will be a big test for him was a it's a strange
:10:36. > :10:44.situation in terms of the rules at the moment for drug-taking. He can
:10:44. > :10:49.compete in the Olympics. Dwain Chambers can't. There's now a new
:10:49. > :10:54.rule which says you can't compete in the Olympic Games. Regardless
:10:54. > :11:01.what you feel about drug-taking, we could do with a uniform rule,
:11:01. > :11:04.couldn't we? It's difficult to break everything down. We have
:11:04. > :11:13.athlete with different reasons why they can and can't run, and you
:11:13. > :11:18.have got to take each athlete case by case. The then you will find it
:11:18. > :11:22.why you can or can't compete in the Olympic Games. Dwain it can't
:11:22. > :11:26.compete at all because of the bylaw. The US the Olympic Committee have
:11:26. > :11:31.taken the IOC to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to challenge
:11:31. > :11:37.their ruled to stop people competing. If they were to be
:11:37. > :11:41.successful, you wonder whether it Dwain it could consider another
:11:41. > :11:46.crack at it. It will be an interesting thing for him but I
:11:46. > :11:49.think he should concentrate on his running a bar of an battling for
:11:49. > :11:55.himself. He has the European Championships to compete in,
:11:55. > :12:01.remember. What about Usain Bolt? Early-season form a bit shaky. He
:12:01. > :12:05.looked better in Oslo. Where do you assess him at the moment in terms
:12:05. > :12:10.of the build up? I watched him carefully after he ran the 200
:12:10. > :12:15.metres in Oslo to see what his fitness levels was like and he was
:12:15. > :12:20.playing very nicely with the crowd. When he spoke to us, he was
:12:20. > :12:25.certainly under control of his breath. It didn't seem to tax him
:12:25. > :12:32.in any way. It's a sign he's in great shape. He needs polishing.
:12:32. > :12:37.Once he gets that done, and drops a few seconds, I think he will defend
:12:37. > :12:47.his world titles comfortably. think he's next in the diamond lead
:12:47. > :12:59.
:12:59. > :13:04.in Paris. That will be live online. A very good win from Gonzalez.
:13:04. > :13:09.Kevin coming back into some form, I think. It was good to see. The 400
:13:09. > :13:16.metres is quite competitive. Everybody is expecting it to be
:13:16. > :13:20.alive by now. The quick runs have not happened. Every athlete
:13:20. > :13:25.believes in themselves now. Gonzalez himself was only 4th in
:13:25. > :13:28.the Jamaican championships, and, really, it meant to wasn't going to
:13:28. > :13:33.make the world championship team when he is the world record holder
:13:33. > :13:38.in Jamaica for the fortunately, the man who finished second decided not
:13:38. > :13:43.to do the 400 metres so Gonzales mixed into the team. It has been a
:13:43. > :13:47.strange season for the 400 metres season. Maguire struggling and not
:13:47. > :13:52.winning. Two or three years ago, we were talking about him being in the
:13:52. > :13:56.next world record holder. expected him to be dominant. Yes,
:13:56. > :14:00.it hasn't happened for him from here on in. It will be an
:14:00. > :14:05.interesting battle. Gone are the times when we could predict who the
:14:05. > :14:09.winner was clearly. Now it is a true battle and I think the world
:14:09. > :14:13.of athletics, we like to see it, if we like established names but also
:14:13. > :14:20.like to see people challenging them. Up from a British point of view,
:14:20. > :14:25.one athlete we have looked towards looking at would be Martin Bruny.
:14:25. > :14:30.He has struggled, hasn't he? Yes, it's difficult for the guys to get
:14:31. > :14:34.into the groove. You need to have a lot of background behind you. If
:14:34. > :14:39.you can get two solid winters behind you, it seems to see you
:14:39. > :14:44.through. If you can get into that magical 45 seconds, anything could
:14:44. > :14:54.happen for the the women's 400 metres coming up later on. Now we
:14:54. > :15:01.
:15:01. > :15:05.can get back to the action with the the leading group. All of a sudden,
:15:05. > :15:12.there is a little break between the leading group and the principles
:15:12. > :15:19.and those following. A little group following led by Perrera. There
:15:19. > :15:25.have latched on to the back. need this sort of aggression in the
:15:25. > :15:31.early stages because these ladies have got to learn to run fast.
:15:31. > :15:37.While Chambers can win races on the circuit, she will not be pushed
:15:37. > :15:40.towards the quickest times. The pacemaker has asked to go out after
:15:40. > :15:44.three kilometre us, that has to be with the collusion of the leading
:15:44. > :15:53.athletes. I imagine these ladies want to start attacking the clock
:15:53. > :15:56.and run fast times. This middle kilometre is crucial. A as we are
:15:56. > :16:03.looking at the tail-enders coming through the water jump, a good way
:16:03. > :16:13.behind the leaders at the moment. Now we have the second of the
:16:13. > :16:35.
:16:35. > :16:42.pacemakers. All of the principles is no doubt about it. There have
:16:42. > :16:49.certainly slowed in this medal kilometre. There coming towards two
:16:49. > :16:59.kilometres now. Remember, that first kilometre was 3.02. Yes, it
:16:59. > :17:01.
:17:01. > :17:11.is very much slower, this. What a shame. 3.13 for this. Pacemaking
:17:11. > :17:37.
:17:37. > :17:44.has not worked at all. There was reduced to single file for about
:17:44. > :17:54.the first time. This group of seven are well away. Bikinis in is
:17:54. > :18:08.
:18:08. > :18:18.looking very strong. -- bit lap and a half ago. There are five
:18:18. > :18:18.
:18:18. > :19:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:19:01. > :19:08.or six there. A dummy looks like it has allowed the race to develop
:19:08. > :19:12.as a race proper. This is where they have got to start staying with
:19:12. > :19:22.the leader and put pressure on her. She loves a free run at the last
:19:22. > :19:22.
:19:22. > :20:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:20:14. > :20:20.world this year. We thought we might get something like that. This
:20:20. > :20:26.season's best nine. Well. But that middle kilometre called all the
:20:26. > :20:30.problems as well as -- as far as records were concerned. It is the
:20:30. > :20:40.third fastest race of the year so far. I think there is some gusting
:20:40. > :20:45.
:20:45. > :20:50.Next up on-track is this man's event, the 110-metre men's hurdles.
:20:50. > :21:00.The British number one, Andy Turner has had a good season including
:21:00. > :21:05.
:21:05. > :21:15.this recent win at the European blocks but Turner is coming away.
:21:15. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:25.Turner gets it! Maximum points for Great Britain. 13.44.
:21:25. > :21:29.So, a good win for Andy Turner 10 days ago. So he will realise the
:21:29. > :21:34.challenges in this event last eight with America, Cuba and it is a
:21:34. > :21:39.question whether he can step up to that. Yes, it is a very difficult
:21:39. > :21:45.task. The guys he is competing against our super-strong. They go
:21:45. > :21:49.under 13 seconds on a regular basis. It's hard to beat that kind of
:21:49. > :21:55.consistency. And you will have to keep working hard. I hope he can
:21:55. > :22:02.get into the 13th were 1s because once he can do that he becomes
:22:02. > :22:07.competitive -- 13.1. He can sneak in and take the medals. He has got
:22:07. > :22:15.to get there first. One of the things that Andy has shown, he has
:22:15. > :22:18.got a lot of character and a real will to succeed. Absolutely, he is
:22:18. > :22:21.determined. He is a good quality athlete. If he did not have that
:22:21. > :22:31.bad Achilles tendon, I'm pretty sure he would be running much
:22:31. > :23:02.
:23:02. > :23:07.quicker. Now, we can catch up with national junior record holder. She
:23:07. > :23:15.is a seven-metre jump at her best. She was in second place right the
:23:15. > :23:25.way up to the end along with Proctor, until the second jump. It
:23:25. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:48.was a season's best far higher. -- from. A very simple technique. Six
:23:48. > :24:13.
:24:13. > :24:18.executed very well. That was good Great Britain. The wind early on
:24:18. > :24:26.this evening as several races unfold it here, was very much
:24:26. > :24:33.behind the sprinters down the home straight. I remember coming here.
:24:33. > :24:39.There have been many world records in this arena. In particular, by
:24:39. > :24:49.Lui Chuang in the 110-metre hurdles three years ago. The conditions are
:24:49. > :24:56.
:24:56. > :25:03.the next race, the 110-metre hurdles. And also for the 100
:25:03. > :25:13.metres race later on. Another little glance at the end of the
:25:13. > :25:37.
:25:37. > :25:41.steeplechase. You can see how close before.
:25:41. > :25:47.Are a good performance there from Sharrock Proctor. She is from a
:25:47. > :25:54.British dependent territory. Has been some controversy about
:25:54. > :25:59.switching allegiance but Anglia is a British dependent territory. She
:25:59. > :26:03.has British citizenship so and she could not stay in the -- she could
:26:03. > :26:07.not compete in the British Olympics. Let's go back to the hurdles. We
:26:07. > :26:12.have talked about Andy Turner. Will Sharman, he looked really strong
:26:12. > :26:17.but he has suffered a bit from injury. In my mind, and it would be
:26:17. > :26:23.good to get your view of an -- as an expert, he has a different
:26:23. > :26:30.technique to Andy Turner? He is far more fluid and balletic. And uses
:26:30. > :26:33.more brute force when he gets down the 110-metre straight. Whether you
:26:33. > :26:38.would say one is better than the other, it is dependable. I would
:26:38. > :26:42.not put my money one way or the other. They are both very strong
:26:42. > :26:46.athletes. Will Sharman had 4th place in the championships. It came
:26:46. > :26:52.out of the blue. We were looking for him to do something more
:26:52. > :26:56.special. Injury hampers you in this event and I'm hoping that both of
:26:56. > :27:03.them can get back healthy because goods domestic competition makes a
:27:03. > :27:12.big difference in this event. can look at the start this now. The
:27:12. > :27:19.world record holder is Dayron Robles. Injury jumped on him at the
:27:19. > :27:24.wrong time in his career. So I am thinking that once again he is fit
:27:24. > :27:28.and healthy. This event will be explosive. They talk about the 100
:27:28. > :27:35.metres being explosive and a great watch, but trust me, this is a
:27:35. > :27:41.great event. There is Dayron Robles. He is a
:27:41. > :27:49.world record holder and Olympic champion. 13.07 is his best this
:27:49. > :27:55.season. Jason Richardson on his right is the world youth champion
:27:55. > :28:02.in 2003. He has come on a bit. Andy Turner, the European and
:28:02. > :28:12.Commonwealth champion. He is next to Ryan Wilson who has not really
:28:12. > :28:14.
:28:14. > :28:18.performed this season. Daniel Kiss of Hungary, a European bronze-
:28:18. > :28:28.medallist last year. A quarter- finalist in the Olympic Games in
:28:28. > :28:28.
:28:28. > :29:17.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:29:17. > :29:23.2008. Certainly, all eyes will be Dayron Robles is already going away
:29:23. > :29:28.from this field. He is being chased hard by Richardson on his left. It
:29:28. > :29:36.will be very close. Dayron Robles gets it. Thomas from Richardson, I
:29:36. > :29:43.think. It is pretty well what I expected, I must say. Andy Turner
:29:43. > :29:49.was 4th. The wind speed plus one metre per second. There is a little
:29:50. > :29:57.way to go before Dayron Robles will impact on David Oliver and Lui
:29:57. > :30:07.Chuang. That will be one of the big finals. It is one of the big finals
:30:07. > :30:13.
:30:13. > :30:17.in the world championships. Watch really, he has a little bit of work
:30:17. > :30:21.to do but there is early days. There is plenty of time to build up
:30:21. > :30:28.to the World Championships. I didn't think he got out that well.
:30:28. > :30:31.He looked a little bit laboured. You expected him to move away. I
:30:31. > :30:38.saw him racing about a month ago and he looked a lot better than
:30:38. > :30:43.this and much was a lot faster. That is a very small winning margin
:30:43. > :30:47.there back to Thomas in second. Richardson to his right. That was
:30:47. > :30:52.not the form you would expect. At the moment, I don't think that puts
:30:52. > :30:58.him on a par with the others. Not a bad time, but I don't think he will
:30:58. > :31:06.be happy with that. No, there's a little way to go. He has run faster
:31:06. > :31:14.than that. 13.07. Let's have another look at this. Watch his
:31:14. > :31:19.shoulders all the way down. His leg speed is good. Very fast. It brings
:31:19. > :31:26.the lead leg down. You have got to be on the ground to run, and this
:31:26. > :31:32.man is good at it, but, Tim, the others are a little bit ahead in
:31:32. > :31:35.the preparation stakes for the World Championship at the moment.
:31:35. > :31:41.Look at the Jamaican support here. It absolutely magnificent, isn't
:31:41. > :31:49.it? They are everywhere. There are three great Jamaica's in the 100
:31:49. > :31:54.metres coming up. The only one missing is a certain Usain Bolt. A
:31:54. > :31:59.glorious evening for the people in the sunshine. It was about a 25
:31:59. > :32:09.degrees this afternoon. Quite cold in the shade. Quite a bit of wind.
:32:09. > :32:28.
:32:28. > :32:32.But, I suspect, he is nice and warm Andy, a new personal best? Yes.
:32:32. > :32:36.Obviously I'm happy to finally get rid of that personal best.
:32:36. > :32:41.Technically, the race. There was quite a few mistakes. I know there
:32:41. > :32:49.is more to come. It is a stepping stone. I have got to get things
:32:49. > :32:52.right. I'm delighted to run a personal best. You must take great
:32:52. > :33:00.confidence from being within touching that since of the world
:33:00. > :33:08.record holder. -- touching distance. Yes, I beat him once but he fell
:33:08. > :33:14.over! It's nice to close that gap a little bit. I Mr it on the European
:33:14. > :33:18.indoors to close the gap on these types of people. -- I missed out on
:33:18. > :33:24.the European indoors. You talked about the injections in your
:33:24. > :33:29.Achilles heel. How is that doing? I'm doing good. It's so nice to be
:33:29. > :33:35.pain-free. It's a massive relief every time I get here. I am at peak
:33:35. > :33:40.condition. I'm going for it, touch wood. A great job, Andy. A tough
:33:40. > :33:45.race for you. Coming back from injury, how would you assess where
:33:45. > :33:50.you're at at the moment? I am lacking hurdle practice, basically
:33:50. > :33:54.so, in May, I went to training camp and picked up a softer tissue
:33:54. > :33:58.injury. It took longer than expected. At first, nothing showed
:33:58. > :34:05.up on the MRI scans other went back into training, and damaged it
:34:05. > :34:10.further. When you what training below the game line, not able to do
:34:10. > :34:15.any hurdling, it takes time to go back and I think that is where I am
:34:15. > :34:23.at at the moment. I think a lot will be gained over the next eight
:34:23. > :34:27.weeks just by racing, so... think you have enough time? I have
:34:27. > :34:31.done it before. I up have never been known for running personal
:34:31. > :34:36.bests at the beginning of the season. Normally, it is there
:34:37. > :34:41.latter half of the year when I begin to shine. I am optimistic.
:34:41. > :34:46.It's hard against great athletes, but his champions, against the rest
:34:46. > :34:50.of the world. -- British champions. You want to represent Britain with
:34:50. > :34:55.pride but when you're lacking training, it shows on the day.
:34:55. > :35:01.luck. I hope you get it right. Next up on the track is one of the
:35:01. > :35:09.highlights of this evening, the men's 800 metres. It features the
:35:09. > :35:19.world record holder who has been up expect something special this
:35:19. > :35:26.evening, I think. He won the world title in the 2007. Now the former
:35:26. > :35:33.world junior silver-medallist in lane five. The European champion
:35:33. > :35:43.recently ran a great 250 metres. Now the silver-medallist from last
:35:43. > :35:43.
:35:43. > :35:51.year. A fairly modest 146. Here is Davis. Last week he ran a really
:35:51. > :35:59.useful race in France just to warm himself up for this one. He will be
:36:00. > :36:06.the pacemaker, Sammy. I was talking to David's agent last night and he
:36:06. > :36:16.said last week he did a track session, the first one in some time,
:36:16. > :36:32.
:36:32. > :36:42.world class a run as well, David. I wonder how quick he will run
:36:42. > :36:51.
:36:51. > :36:59.tonight? -- he was a world class This reduces the danger. We are
:36:59. > :37:09.looking for around 495. He ran up 23 followed by 23. That is
:37:09. > :37:14.
:37:14. > :37:21.interesting. He is so smooth at the moment and looks so cool. Rudisha
:37:21. > :37:27.With just over 300 metres to run. At five-metre lead at the moment.
:37:27. > :37:35.Moving into third place now. A lot of running to do. He is stretching
:37:35. > :37:43.away. Look at that gap in the space of 150 metres. He has taken them
:37:43. > :37:53.out of the competition. They are really struggling back. Rudisha, as
:37:53. > :37:59.the comes around the bend, it's a majestic run. Second place, he is
:37:59. > :38:06.kicking had. The rest of them are struggling here -- he is kicking
:38:06. > :38:11.hard. I don't think he really accelerated there. He knew he had
:38:11. > :38:15.done enough down the back straight. He was looking at the big screen to
:38:15. > :38:25.see he had about a 12-metre leader and he knew the damage had been
:38:25. > :38:26.
:38:26. > :38:32.done. I'm not sure he's anything like last year when he set a world
:38:32. > :38:38.record in September. 29th August. He's not in that sort of shape yet,
:38:38. > :38:45.but he will be. He is coming back from injury. I understand he has
:38:45. > :38:55.been doing a lot of running in the woods. Doing some strides, playing
:38:55. > :38:58.at cautious. Plenty of time on his Quite an athlete, isn't he? The
:38:58. > :39:05.men's triple jumper just getting under way and that features the big
:39:05. > :39:15.head-to-head between Philips has to do -- Phillips Idowu and Teddy
:39:15. > :39:22.
:39:22. > :39:28.Tamgho. They are great rivals but Me and Teddy are cool. We get on
:39:28. > :39:36.really, really well. I love him. He's like my little brother. He's a
:39:36. > :39:41.very talented kid. He has made sure I can't just sit back. I can't
:39:42. > :39:47.think, I am the world champions. Year by year, I know I have got to
:39:47. > :39:51.keep improving, so he has pushed me to go out and think, I have got to
:39:51. > :40:01.do the big races this season. It's good having in the sport. He makes
:40:01. > :40:01.
:40:01. > :40:08.it exciting. He is older than me. When he talks to me, I want to
:40:08. > :40:16.understand because I know he has good advice. He told me I need
:40:16. > :40:24.experience in the competitions. He started to be a big jumper. In the
:40:24. > :40:30.2000 Olympic Games, Sydney, second in Beijing with experience. Great
:40:30. > :40:36.experience. He told me, with experience, I could be better up.
:40:36. > :40:43.When you line up alongside Teddy, he has the height advantage of.
:40:43. > :40:51.It's difficult to answer. I think it's fifty-fifty. He has experience.
:40:51. > :40:59.He is stronger, too. Unique. I have jumped further than him but I am
:40:59. > :41:03.younger. It's going to be very difficult to choose a winner.
:41:04. > :41:09.are both their respect to each other. We both know there is more
:41:09. > :41:15.to come so we need to be on our game. I don't know where the
:41:15. > :41:19.advantage lies. You just have to find it on the day. Colin, what
:41:19. > :41:23.happened to the bad days when competitors hated each other?
:41:23. > :41:27.days are long gone. They are good guys and they respect each other
:41:27. > :41:32.which is the most important thing, but they also know how tough it is
:41:32. > :41:40.to compete against each other. You going into this competition, Teddy
:41:41. > :41:44.is in the lead. Phillips has got to catch him but it's about that clash
:41:44. > :41:49.of. The young pretender looking to take the crown in every single
:41:49. > :41:55.competition. It's going to be good today. The wind conditions are
:41:55. > :42:00.ideal. Some good jumping already. The women's long jump, for example.
:42:00. > :42:07.I'm looking forward to seeing the world's best mark past. Not the
:42:07. > :42:14.world record but this season best. How important do you think of this
:42:14. > :42:20.season is to Phillips Idowu in terms of getting a psychological
:42:20. > :42:23.one-upmanship on a teddy? It is vital. You want to compete and show
:42:24. > :42:28.your dominance. It doesn't matter how many times you can be digging
:42:28. > :42:34.somebody, you have got to let them know you're a serious competitor
:42:34. > :42:39.and they have to watch you. That is what Phillips wants to show over
:42:40. > :42:44.Teddy Tamgho this time. Teddy Tamgho has the potential, 17.98 in
:42:44. > :42:51.New York last year. But a major outdoor championship, he looks
:42:51. > :42:55.vulnerable. A Phillips matured into the athlete we know he could be.
:42:55. > :43:00.knew he had the potential to be the world champion. We knew he could go
:43:00. > :43:05.into these big championships and win them. He had to come back last
:43:05. > :43:12.year to take that title and he did it with a phenomenal job, so it's a
:43:12. > :43:16.great event. Another great head-to- head. A good competition. We can
:43:16. > :43:26.catch up with that men's 800 metres result. A Supreme performance from
:43:26. > :43:33.
:43:33. > :43:40.Rudisha, he is a class act. People are coming back from major injuries.
:43:40. > :43:43.It's been a tough two years before here. They are focused on 2012 and
:43:43. > :43:46.they will make sure they are polished when they get there. The
:43:46. > :43:52.Olympic title is what they want and they will do anything to make sure
:43:52. > :44:02.they get it. We hope you will come along and talk to us in a moments
:44:02. > :44:04.
:44:04. > :44:10.time, David Rudisha. We have Tiffany representing Britain at the
:44:10. > :44:14.moment. How do you think she has made the transfer? She has done it
:44:14. > :44:19.very well, very smoothly indeed. We have seen what she is capable of
:44:19. > :44:23.doing. She came through to the European indoors, shocking
:44:23. > :44:28.everybody in the European, showing what she has made of. Lowering the
:44:28. > :44:32.British record, as well. She is coming it tonight in a Lausanne, to
:44:32. > :44:40.wait up competition. She faces the Commonwealth and US champion, Sally
:44:40. > :44:45.Pearson. Sally is an incredible athlete in great form. She has run
:44:45. > :44:55.a good 100 metres, so it's a tough race for to have any tonight.
:44:55. > :45:12.
:45:12. > :45:20.race is coming up shortly but now here than they are wary New York.
:45:20. > :45:30.An opening effort for the Frenchman. That is about 17.50 there, it
:45:30. > :45:32.
:45:32. > :45:42.certainly looks very big Timmy. -- to me. It is no jump. What a shame.
:45:42. > :45:52.
:45:52. > :46:02.That is a warning sign for Phillips championships last week. They are
:46:02. > :46:09.
:46:09. > :46:14.planning -- up against an silver-medallist. She is the
:46:14. > :46:24.Commonwealth champion from last autumn. Danielle Carruthers is in
:46:24. > :46:40.
:46:40. > :46:50.lane four. Kellie Wells goes in a world championship team before
:46:50. > :46:53.
:46:53. > :47:03.but she has now. She has had a great season so far. Virginia
:47:03. > :47:13.Powell-Crawford in lane six. 4th in the US championships. Then at least
:47:13. > :47:14.
:47:14. > :47:24.Iraq of Switzerland. She could be a surprise here -- Lisa. Derval
:47:24. > :47:48.
:47:48. > :47:54.Pearson leading at the moment. It will be a win for the Australian by
:47:54. > :48:04.the smallest of margins! The winning time, 12.46. A very strong
:48:04. > :48:06.
:48:06. > :48:16.following wind there. That was a quick time. The wind is way over
:48:16. > :48:21.the limit. Pearson got it, Carruthers second. It was tight but
:48:21. > :48:30.the Australian has travelled as well as the Americans and that was
:48:30. > :48:40.a cracking race between the two. Carruthers ran a 12.37 in the US.
:48:40. > :48:46.She was leading. Virginia Powell- Crawford was going well as well.
:48:46. > :48:56.Peers and has that little bit more momentum of the hurdle. It was very
:48:56. > :49:00.tight for third place. Danielle Carruthers is very much quicker
:49:00. > :49:05.this year. Running very strong over the flat and certainly, her
:49:05. > :49:14.technique is better. Pearson clearly the winner in a very, very
:49:14. > :49:20.good race. Sally Pearson just showing the Americans they cannot
:49:20. > :49:25.forget about the Australians, even though they do not appear very
:49:25. > :49:29.often on the circuits on the straights. Sally Pearson has come
:49:29. > :49:39.out after running the southern hemisphere season and very often
:49:39. > :49:53.
:49:53. > :49:59.matches the best of the Americans they? Tiffany Ofili-Porter,
:49:59. > :50:07.disappointing for her, that would have been a British record.
:50:07. > :50:14.Certainly, Pearson, the point you made earlier on, 11.2. She has an
:50:14. > :50:22.edge on the flat over Danielle Carruthers. They really attack the
:50:22. > :50:31.hurdles well. Look at the way Pearson is so aggressive. 8 was a
:50:31. > :50:35.very, very good race indeed between the two. Fine sprint hurdling.
:50:35. > :50:45.athletes at the top of their game and the Australian coming out on
:50:45. > :50:54.
:50:54. > :50:59.Tiffany Ofili-Porter alongside me. 12.64, you must be pretty happy
:50:59. > :51:05.with that? I would have been happier if it was not windy. But if
:51:05. > :51:10.the wind is behind you, it does not make it easier? That is true, it
:51:10. > :51:15.can actually help you if it is too strong. You were very competitive
:51:15. > :51:20.with the best athletes in the world? Yes, that is what it is all
:51:20. > :51:23.about. You cannot be satisfied running against people who are not
:51:23. > :51:29.the best so it is all about competing with the best in the
:51:29. > :51:33.world. You were watching the race on the slow-motion replay, what can
:51:33. > :51:39.you make of your form? I have so much more to give. I cannot wait
:51:39. > :51:45.for it all to come together! Just tell us what you mean by it that?
:51:45. > :51:49.can't give away my secrets but it will come together! I will ask CJ,
:51:49. > :51:56.he will tell me. He knows a bit about the hurdles. Thank you so
:51:56. > :52:02.much. So, Colin, she has so much more to give, what would you say
:52:02. > :52:05.your assessment is? Initially, she lost at the start. I think she was
:52:05. > :52:11.shocked because it was the first time she has raced against Sally
:52:11. > :52:15.and if you do not know people's strengths, it is hard to judge
:52:15. > :52:19.yourself. We know Sally is an incredible sprinter. She won the
:52:19. > :52:23.Commonwealth title. She was stripped of the title in another
:52:23. > :52:29.controversy. Tiffany has a lot of fluency to come. Once she settles
:52:29. > :52:34.down, because a lot has been gone - - a lot has gone on in her life,
:52:34. > :52:38.changing country, getting married, missing out on titles, a lot of
:52:38. > :52:42.expectation on her, once she settles down, she will get into
:52:42. > :52:47.that group. Athletics is about timing and rhythm and in the
:52:47. > :52:51.hurdles, it is the essence to pull the timing together. I believe we
:52:51. > :52:56.have a genuine world class athlete here who will be special again for
:52:56. > :53:01.us in 2012. Yes, she is really in the next there. Sally Pearson, you
:53:01. > :53:06.mentioned she is in great form. She has not been racing much on the
:53:06. > :53:11.circuit? First race. That is good. Everybody in Europe knows her now
:53:11. > :53:17.but to come here again, the first time out and pick up from where she
:53:17. > :53:21.left off last year, it sends a bit of a shock wave through people's
:53:21. > :53:29.back and saying debut, watch me, I will be there. There is still
:53:29. > :53:34.plenty more to come this evening. Dai Greene goes in the men's 400-
:53:34. > :53:38.metre hurdles. He won the European Championships and is up against the
:53:38. > :53:44.best in the world this evening. Then it is the world champion at
:53:44. > :53:53.800 metres over -- Against the world champion over 1,500 metres,
:53:53. > :53:58.Caster Semenya against Jamal. And then the men's 100 metres. Asafa
:53:58. > :54:02.Powell up against Christophe nature of France. So, Colin, plenty to
:54:02. > :54:08.look forward to there and your fellow countryman, Dai Greene, in
:54:08. > :54:12.the 400-metre hurdles will be good? That will be exciting for me! I
:54:12. > :54:16.believe he is in great shape. I have seen what he needs to do. The
:54:16. > :54:20.400-metre hurdles will be one of the best races of the day. We are
:54:20. > :54:30.going to 400 metres now. Sanya Richards-Ross is there. We can get
:54:30. > :54:53.
:54:53. > :55:03.world indoor champion who won the title in Doha in 2010. She was
:55:03. > :55:31.
:55:31. > :55:41.early on. Sanya Richards-Ross has got off very quickly indeed. They
:55:41. > :55:51.
:55:51. > :55:59.Richards-Ross on the outside. Hastings on the outside. She is
:55:59. > :56:09.struggling. He looks like Richard's loss could come through to second
:56:09. > :56:37.
:56:37. > :56:47.and she has got it. That is as surprised from Amantle Montsho. She
:56:47. > :56:57.
:56:57. > :57:07.ran very well in gusty conditions. Shericka Williams? They were very
:57:07. > :57:08.
:57:08. > :57:18.tired. Amantle Montsho in contrast had a massive lead the. If it was
:57:18. > :57:33.
:57:33. > :57:38.not for Sanya Richards-Ross, she Montsho but also a very encouraging
:57:38. > :57:44.performance from Sanya. How do you assess that? That was my best run
:57:44. > :57:49.for the season. I'm proud. I wanted to run fast. I do not like losing.
:57:49. > :57:54.I'm definitely progressing so I am happy. Tell us about the challenges
:57:54. > :57:57.you have had, all of our viewers remain the winning and winning the
:57:57. > :58:03.Golden League so tell us about some of the struggles you have been
:58:03. > :58:08.through? In 2010 I had the season- ending injury. I pulled my quad
:58:08. > :58:13.muscle. I did not think it would be hard coming back that missing the
:58:13. > :58:19.he season was tough. My training has been going great. This race is
:58:19. > :58:23.encouraging. It is great to see you back on form. We wish you the best.
:58:23. > :58:29.She is one of the real stars of the sport. Let's hope she can really
:58:29. > :58:33.get back to form. It is very difficult when you take a whole
:58:33. > :58:37.season off to return instantly to your winning ways. She's very
:58:37. > :58:40.grounded, she understands what she needs to do. She's getting there
:58:40. > :58:46.slowly but surely. Each race is getting better and better and
:58:46. > :58:52.better. I hope she can get to under 50 seconds again. There is no Usain
:58:52. > :59:02.Bolt here this evening but the men's 100 metres will still be a
:59:02. > :59:32.
:59:32. > :59:36.That men's 100 metres coming up very shortly indeed. I have got
:59:36. > :59:44.David behind me. It's great to see you back and healthy. Were you
:59:44. > :59:49.pleased with that run? Yes, I'm pleased. This is my second race. I
:59:49. > :59:54.am feeling very strong. I am coming back nicely from injury. Today I
:59:54. > :59:59.expected to run even better but I just felt the wind was strong on
:59:59. > :00:06.the back stretch. It's amazing how quickly you found your form after
:00:06. > :00:14.injury, particularly in your first race. Yes, when I got injured, I
:00:14. > :00:19.was really in good shape at the time but just before, I was injured.
:00:19. > :00:25.I just went out to serious training for two months before I started
:00:25. > :00:32.coming back and then I felt my body responding. David, thanks for
:00:32. > :00:42.speaking to us. Thank you. Great stuff. Unbelievable. Here is the
:00:42. > :00:47.
:00:47. > :00:55.men's 100 metres. Colin, it's quite to him running at home, Christophe
:00:55. > :01:00.Lemaitre. The support from the crowd will push Ramon. Asafa Powell
:01:00. > :01:09.is the Jamaican champion, a strong athlete, and you can imagine what
:01:09. > :01:17.is looking forward to, too. Here is Phillips Idowu. I think this might
:01:17. > :01:27.be around one. No, the second round is in, obviously. What can he do in
:01:27. > :01:28.
:01:28. > :01:32.the second round? Good, strong, running. It is over 17 metres. I
:01:32. > :01:38.think the wind is blowing backwards and forwards and it's very
:01:38. > :01:43.difficult for the athletes. Yes, it's very tough here. The wind has
:01:43. > :01:47.picked up. It is unusual for Lausanne, that the wind is so
:01:47. > :01:55.blustery. The athletes are struggling. In the women's long
:01:55. > :02:03.jump, it was to and fro, plus two down to minus one. It's difficult
:02:03. > :02:11.for them. I'm pretty sure he will be able to pull through. That was
:02:11. > :02:19.17.26. It was the first round. were right. There would have been a
:02:19. > :02:24.time when it could be a foregone conclusion for Christophe Lemaitre.
:02:24. > :02:28.I'm really pleased for him, you know. It's nice for us to have a
:02:28. > :02:33.European back in the 100 metres and seriously in the next. It will be
:02:33. > :02:43.interesting to hear what the home crowd is going to be like a. It's
:02:43. > :02:44.
:02:44. > :02:48.going to be explosive when they announce his name. Asafa Powell.
:02:48. > :02:52.One of his team mates holds the record. He is only number five this
:02:52. > :02:57.year, but I feel it the wind speed stays inside the legal limit, he
:02:57. > :03:06.may improve his ranking this evening. His agent said is in very
:03:06. > :03:16.good shape. This man is in good form, Christophe Lemaitre. 999 and
:03:16. > :03:17.
:03:17. > :03:24.then 995 in the last week. The European fans darling. Nesta Carter
:03:24. > :03:33.in lane six, another Olympic champion. Churandy Martina goes in
:03:33. > :03:39.lane seven for the Netherlands. And then the Pascal Mancini. He has a
:03:39. > :03:44.best of 10.41 this year. His lifetime best. He and Felix Goltl
:03:44. > :03:54.in lane one might be struggling in this company. Three Jamaicans in
:03:54. > :04:14.
:04:14. > :04:24.this. No doubt, part of the A squad with a hamstring problem. Nesta
:04:24. > :04:28.
:04:28. > :04:31.Carter, six. Pascal Mancini in lane eight. Good start. Not a great
:04:31. > :04:41.start for Christophe Lemaitre. He has gone all the way down at the
:04:41. > :04:41.
:04:41. > :04:47.moment. He was coming through late, Christophe Lemaitre. One metre per
:04:47. > :04:57.second there for Asafa Powell, the fastest time in the world this year.
:04:57. > :04:59.
:04:59. > :05:07.It knocks Gate of the rankings. -- it knocks Tyson Gave off the
:05:07. > :05:10.rankings. He has improved on the world best. Will it this man beat
:05:10. > :05:16.the jinx he has been the championship and get a world
:05:16. > :05:22.championship? There is a certain matter of the Usain Bolt are to be
:05:22. > :05:26.overcome. He will give him a tough run for his money. That's one of
:05:26. > :05:30.the best runs we have seen from a Asafa Powell for a year or two.
:05:30. > :05:35.It's the first time he was up against Christophe Lemaitre, who
:05:35. > :05:41.had a lot of publicity. Asafa Powell, though, just for once,
:05:41. > :05:45.being the favourite. We always call him the nearly man of. He was
:05:45. > :05:52.supposed to win an Olympic title, a world title and didn't do it. This
:05:52. > :05:58.time, you never know. He has got Usain Bolt have to contend with. He
:05:58. > :06:08.got away very well. So did Nesta Carter from Jamaica. Christophe
:06:08. > :06:09.
:06:09. > :06:13.Lemaitre was under pressure. A good run by a Michael Frater. 995 for
:06:13. > :06:20.Christophe Lemaitre, equalling his national record. In third place, in
:06:20. > :06:24.the end, what a return for him, Michael Frater for the personal
:06:24. > :06:31.best. He has been there so long, Michael Frater, and all of a sudden
:06:31. > :06:38.he is back again. An astonishing recovery. He had an awful start.
:06:38. > :06:44.After 30 metres, he was three metres down. He was so poor but his
:06:44. > :06:49.second half was astonishing. It indicates the best event for
:06:49. > :06:54.Christophe Lemaitre will be 200. certainly was under pressure but
:06:54. > :07:01.this is the kind of races has got to get into. He has got to learn to
:07:01. > :07:06.cope with the pressure. Nesta Carter, good going, but this fellow
:07:06. > :07:11.was well ahead. Christophe Lemaitre, he is only 20, he is learning his
:07:11. > :07:17.trade. He is top of the tree in Europe but still some way to go in
:07:17. > :07:22.terms of the world. They got what they wanted, the French fans. What
:07:22. > :07:32.a second half for the young French man. The fastest time in the world
:07:32. > :07:37.
:07:37. > :07:43.What a race. We thought it is going to be faster but did you think was
:07:43. > :07:50.going to be that fast? Sensational. Asafa Powell did not mess at all
:07:50. > :07:55.out of the blocks. He drove up the track and ended up with 978
:07:55. > :08:02.performance. The fastest time in the world. Only plus one would the
:08:02. > :08:11.wind speed. When they came out of the blocks. Four men under 10
:08:11. > :08:14.seconds. There are two national records, Norway and France. Another
:08:14. > :08:20.personal best there for Michael Frater from Jamaica. 988. I can
:08:20. > :08:25.assure you, what an amazing 100 metres. This place is coming alive
:08:25. > :08:31.and they love the sprint here. We see so many world record in the 100
:08:31. > :08:37.metres run on this track. You know, what Asafa Powell out of the blocks.
:08:37. > :08:42.He keeps going. As he approaches the line, he glances over to see
:08:42. > :08:49.the time. We know what is looking for. The that start was
:08:49. > :08:52.breathtaking. Christophe Lemaitre was just left. Absolutely. He has
:08:52. > :09:02.start against Asafa Powell on numerous occasions but today was a
:09:02. > :09:02.
:09:02. > :09:09.special day. It's nice to see Asafa Powell back to his best. Only 600
:09:09. > :09:17.twos passed his personal best. That a mouth-watering prospect. Can the
:09:17. > :09:21.Americans get involved? Exciting times. Christophe Lemaitre showed a
:09:21. > :09:27.lot of composure there. A year ago, had he been left in the blocks like
:09:27. > :09:32.that, he perhaps would have given up a but he ran nine and 95 come
:09:32. > :09:38.equal to the national record. is what we strive for in athletics,
:09:38. > :09:45.consistency. It is your platform and that is where you were going to
:09:45. > :09:49.trample lean yourself from. 995, he has run a bad time three or four
:09:49. > :09:54.times this year. It will be a big breakthrough for him soon enough.
:09:54. > :09:58.He will get close to the European record and will probably break it,
:09:58. > :10:03.because he is on that plateau right now. A lot is happening in this
:10:03. > :10:13.stadium tonight. Hopefully we will speak to Asafa Powell and
:10:13. > :10:13.
:10:13. > :10:20.Christophe Lemaitre shortly. Let's struggling.
:10:20. > :10:26.So much is expected of him. In that New York last year, bounding out
:10:26. > :10:36.17.98. He so nearly became the third man ever over 80 metres.
:10:36. > :10:45.
:10:45. > :10:51.triple jumps to his name so far. Three good stages. That is massive.
:10:51. > :10:56.Teddy Tamgho goes bounding way beyond 17 metres. Almost in to 18-
:10:56. > :11:03.metre territory. That was enormous. He is a great show man and he
:11:03. > :11:09.really plays to the crowd. He lacks consistency to know he can do this.
:11:09. > :11:15.That's the end of round three. A wonderful way. Can they come back
:11:15. > :11:24.from that? 17.91 for Teddy Tamgho. It is the longest jump in the world
:11:24. > :11:29.this year. It's the passes his own 17.67. That was in a small French
:11:29. > :11:39.meeting back, 7th June. Here he is, three weeks later, and once thrust
:11:39. > :11:48.
:11:49. > :11:55.17.91. This place has come alive. What do you think? I think it's a
:11:55. > :12:00.long way. He's a lovely jump was -- jumper pulls up I think he could
:12:00. > :12:07.break my world record. -- jumper. I think he could break my world
:12:07. > :12:15.record. It will be interesting to see how he responds? What does
:12:15. > :12:19.Teddy Tamgho have to do now? think it's experience. I think he
:12:19. > :12:26.gets over-excited at big championships. He has got so much
:12:26. > :12:30.energy. He bounds around everywhere. He believes he can jump 18 metres
:12:30. > :12:35.and be one of the best to triple jumpers ever. I think it gets the
:12:35. > :12:43.better of him because he got so much expectation of himself. For me,
:12:43. > :12:46.I'm afraid to see what Phillips does now. 17.21 in the second round.
:12:46. > :12:51.He is behind and I don't think he wants to give Teddy Tamgho a
:12:51. > :12:55.psychological advantage. What would be a good performance? Phillips
:12:55. > :13:04.would have to set a personal best to win this evening. What would be
:13:04. > :13:09.a good comeback for Phillips Idowu? Over 1750, for sure. Something 57
:13:10. > :13:16.is the best this season. I think that is the bare minimum -- 17 of
:13:16. > :13:20.the T7 is the best this season. -- 1757 is the best this season.
:13:20. > :13:25.Whether he can jump that far remains to be seen. I doubt that.
:13:25. > :13:30.He needs do something to walk away with his head held high. For an
:13:30. > :13:37.athlete like Teddy Tamgho, who has got so much feeling and relies on
:13:37. > :13:43.confidence, if he wins by 70 centimetres, it's a massive victory.
:13:43. > :13:49.Before, you have seen somebody jumper big before you. What did he
:13:49. > :13:56.do when he lines up on that? What goes through his mind? Belief?
:13:57. > :14:02.Phillips has not jump that far. Whatever anybody jump, I could
:14:02. > :14:07.always jump a little bit further. Anyway, we'll wait and see. We can
:14:07. > :14:10.go back out onto the track now for the women's for 200 metres. Caster
:14:10. > :14:20.Semenya or the world champion of the 800 metres against the world
:14:20. > :14:29.
:14:29. > :14:39.champion over 1,500 metres, Maryam in Rome but was second in Eugene.
:14:39. > :14:44.
:14:44. > :14:47.She has won this race three times before. There are two pacemakers. I
:14:47. > :14:57.mentioned before with the steeplechase how ambitious the pace
:14:57. > :15:23.
:15:23. > :15:32.cannot see them taking on. SFO is maintaining the tempo. You expect
:15:32. > :15:38.an acceleration in the last 300 or 400 metres. Jamal does like a hard,
:15:38. > :15:41.fast pace, she does like to go and race halved so it may be her who is
:15:41. > :15:47.requesting this tempo and try and run the length of the others
:15:47. > :15:57.without the nicety of a sprint finish. Certainly, the pacemaking

:16:53. > :16:58.wonder what Jamal is playing at. She is boxed now. Some 10 metres
:16:58. > :17:03.down on the pacemaker, another untidy race. The big South African

:17:30. > :17:34.out of the window now. Youzhny, the American is there. We are in for a
:17:34. > :17:39.thrilling race. We move into another pays -- phase as the
:17:39. > :17:49.pacemaker slows down. Jamal is now in 6th or 7th place now. Morgan
:17:49. > :18:02.
:18:02. > :18:12.Uceny is in second place. Everybody that was in second place, it was
:18:12. > :18:29.
:18:29. > :18:37.Uceny in second place. Hind Dehiba Chahyd from France has taken legal
:18:37. > :18:41.action to take place in this race. Morgan Uceny is coming wide on the
:18:41. > :18:50.outside. This is going to be a really close finish in this 1,500
:18:50. > :18:58.metres. Morgan Uceny is coming through to win? Or is she going to
:18:58. > :19:08.hold on? I think she is. It is a very good run indeed by the winner
:19:08. > :19:14.of the US trials. There is a faller at the end. It was a very, very
:19:14. > :19:19.strange race. Caster Semenya just coming across the line. Morgan
:19:19. > :19:26.Uceny winning and winning well. It turned into a competitive race
:19:26. > :19:30.which was important. The story I was making about hind it to be had

:20:33. > :20:38.the world this year, Asafa Powell. A brilliant run. It was a fantastic
:20:38. > :20:44.run. I managed to push through and I was a winner. Tell us about the
:20:44. > :20:48.start because you left them for dead. I got a great start. We have
:20:48. > :20:52.been practising it for a very long time now and I want to know that
:20:52. > :20:57.every time. The question everybody will ask you, not just about being
:20:57. > :21:02.world champion but being the best in Jamaica, do you look forward to
:21:02. > :21:06.running against Usain Bolt? Definitely. Taking it one step at
:21:06. > :21:12.time. One I get to the world championships, that is the best.
:21:12. > :21:18.And you like this track? Yes, I love this track. It is very fast. I

:31:27. > :31:34.own age group. He got a silver medal at the European Under 23 is,
:31:34. > :31:39.but to come here now and mix in with these big guys, to really go
:31:39. > :31:46.there and perform the way he did, was just sensational. I think
:31:46. > :31:56.people are wondering what the crowd noise is about. They are doing this
:31:56. > :32:00.
:32:00. > :32:05.kind of sound -o-metre. Coming back to Jack Green, you see athletes to
:32:06. > :32:09.step onto the world stage and they perform so far below what they are
:32:09. > :32:16.capable of because of their confidence. For him to do that was
:32:16. > :32:21.an achievement. One thing I got to add to that is when you see your
:32:21. > :32:24.training partner come to these competitions and do so well and you
:32:24. > :32:29.are rubbing shoulders with them day in day out, it gives you confidence
:32:29. > :32:35.and belief, two, because you think, he has beaten these guys, I am
:32:35. > :32:40.going to do it to. It's a great situation. Let's talk about Dai
:32:40. > :32:45.Greene. Hopefully we can speak to him very soon. A very mature
:32:45. > :32:52.performance. You come to expected now. Yes, when you come to a race
:32:52. > :32:57.like this, things can go wrong. Things can go horribly wrong but
:32:57. > :33:01.Dai Greene is very mature. He comes here, truly competitive, with the
:33:01. > :33:05.respect and regard from his opponents, so when he steps on the
:33:05. > :33:10.track now, they know what he's capable of, and it makes them are
:33:10. > :33:15.really worried. I'm looking forward to the world championships because
:33:15. > :33:25.I want there to be another Welsh champion. Next up is the women's
:33:25. > :33:25.
:33:25. > :34:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:34:13. > :34:18.European champion last summer. That One-metre 95. This could become a
:34:18. > :34:23.good competition. This has been a difficult one for her. She is in
:34:23. > :34:33.6th place at the moment. Unless she can become the second woman Clare
:34:33. > :34:34.
:34:34. > :34:42.here... No, no, no. A bad day at the office, absolutely. That will
:34:42. > :34:50.do a lot of damage to a confidence. Absolutely lethargic. Nowhere near
:34:50. > :34:54.the heights we have seen last season. 2.05. Not so now. She has
:34:54. > :35:00.cleared two metres but, my goodness me, in conditions which are not bad,
:35:00. > :35:10.she has failed miserably here. 200 metres runners are in their
:35:10. > :35:18.
:35:18. > :35:26.from the winner of the European Team Championships. She leads at
:35:26. > :35:35.the moment. They come round into the straight. The Ukraine, McKenzie,
:35:35. > :35:45.number three. Has she got the legs here? It's the Ukraine of. She
:35:45. > :35:46.
:35:46. > :35:51.takes it. Maria, the Ukraine. The wind, not 0.2. It certainly feels
:35:51. > :35:58.stronger than that up here, I can tell you. If the flags are anything
:35:58. > :36:04.to go by around the arena, the wind is gusting awkwardly. Nonetheless,
:36:04. > :36:12.a rare victory for a Ukrainian in the diamond lead. The 23-year-old
:36:12. > :36:22.takes maximum points. 22.85. It wasn't the strongest. There was no
:36:22. > :36:33.
:36:33. > :36:37.you can do, and she has done that Alongside me, Dai Greene. When you
:36:37. > :36:40.look at the field, you had the world champion in there, you also
:36:40. > :36:46.had Cornel Fredericks, the South African, who had a faster time than
:36:46. > :36:51.you, but did you feel you could win it? Yes, but form of the other
:36:51. > :36:58.athletes, I E of knew they were in great shape. Conditions were great
:36:58. > :37:02.today and I'm happy to come away from the victory. Clearly,
:37:02. > :37:08.conditions tonight were not conducive. I know I'm a close to
:37:08. > :37:13.the British record. I have been training very hard. I want to save
:37:13. > :37:17.my best for the championships. is your preparation after today?
:37:17. > :37:22.It's a long time. I feel I am ahead of schedule so there's no pressure
:37:22. > :37:28.on me to trying too hard. If I have an injury, I can ease off but I
:37:28. > :37:31.need to pressured if I want to be in the top three. This may be an
:37:31. > :37:36.unfair question, do you realistically believe you could
:37:36. > :37:40.become world champion? For the six and seven months of training in the
:37:40. > :37:45.winter, I don't imagine getting a silver medal, let's put it that way.
:37:45. > :37:50.You have to believe you can win. I know I've done all the hard work
:37:50. > :37:57.until this point. It's a matter of maintaining it. Colin, a brilliant
:37:57. > :38:01.performance. It shows the maturity of this man. He has moved on in
:38:01. > :38:06.leaps and bounds and it's great to see a fellow Welshman. I have to
:38:06. > :38:08.say that. He's an outstanding athlete. He's going to go from
:38:08. > :38:16.strength to strength from here so I'm looking forward to seeing him
:38:16. > :38:24.next. When his sharpness comes, watch out. The next competition for
:38:24. > :38:27.you? Birmingham. I get a lot of support in Birmingham. My
:38:27. > :38:37.girlfriend has from there. Birmingham has not too far from
:38:37. > :38:41.Wales, either. Well done tonight. Thanks very much. The measure of a
:38:41. > :38:44.performance was to come here and put away some of the best athletes
:38:45. > :38:51.in the world. We have seen too little of British athletes on the
:38:51. > :38:55.circuits mixing it with the best. Yes, what he said was clear, he
:38:55. > :38:59.wasn't boast four. He said he trained hard, prepared well and now
:38:59. > :39:03.he's out there to deliver his performance and he's doing that
:39:03. > :39:08.week-in, week-out, which is a great thing to see. It's going to be an
:39:08. > :39:12.exciting year this year for him in the build up towards 2012 and I
:39:12. > :39:17.think he will want to make it a solid World Championships, and look
:39:17. > :39:20.forward to the winter and preparing for the big one. We can catch up
:39:20. > :39:30.now with a field event which happened earlier on, the men's shot
:39:30. > :39:37.
:39:37. > :39:43.competition. He had his work tough -- cut out for him without Dylan
:39:43. > :39:53.Armstrong, who missed his connecting flight to be here. 148,
:39:53. > :39:53.
:39:53. > :40:01.he opened with. 21.83 in around three. A big effort. Seven
:40:01. > :40:05.centimetres ahead of Ron Whiting. The world champion looking good
:40:05. > :40:10.with the world championships eight weeks away. There are three or four
:40:10. > :40:16.men who could get this gold medal at this stage of the season. It's
:40:16. > :40:25.not a foregone conclusion. Dylan Armstrong 22 metres, 21. He missed
:40:25. > :40:32.his flight to come here. He was the man to beat. Christian dominated
:40:32. > :40:42.last year. He had an operation on a shoulder this year but now has come
:40:42. > :40:53.
:40:53. > :40:58.Well, men's 5,000 metres coming up next. We can't not mention Mo and
:40:58. > :41:03.his stunning performance in America and the record. Part of the reason
:41:03. > :41:11.is running so well is he has changed coaches. Steve Cram went
:41:11. > :41:17.out to see what is been doing Apparently at got to jump in the
:41:17. > :41:27.freezing cold bath. If you don't mind, I will just watch. It is -70
:41:27. > :41:34.
:41:34. > :41:44.degrees. Come on then. Let's go and What on earth does that feel like?
:41:44. > :41:45.
:41:45. > :41:52.Amazing. I'm so pleased by didn't have to do this sort of thing. My
:41:52. > :41:57.coach made me go down to the sea and we would go and run in the
:41:57. > :42:07.North Sea. That's about as scientific as we got. OK in there?
:42:07. > :42:15.
:42:15. > :42:21.What does it feel like when you come out? Are you stiff? Your body
:42:21. > :42:26.is just really cold. You recover straight away. Then you feel a lot
:42:26. > :42:36.better. Fantastic. I must put one of those on my Christmas shopping
:42:36. > :42:36.
:42:36. > :42:43.list, actually. Do you want to get What a chicken Steve Cram is. I
:42:43. > :42:49.would have gone in there, wouldn't you? No chance! His transformation,
:42:49. > :42:54.down to his new coach, sellers are. It's had a big impact. That was one
:42:54. > :42:59.of the quickest runs ever. It was great to see. People have a lot of
:42:59. > :43:04.faith in him. We wish him well. We thought, go to the USA, see what
:43:04. > :43:10.happens, and we can hope you can improve, but to turn out that
:43:10. > :43:20.performance was just sensational, I absolutely loved it. But does he do
:43:20. > :43:20.
:43:20. > :43:30.10, 5 K, it's a tough thing. What a nice dilemma to be in? I absolutely.
:43:30. > :43:42.
:43:42. > :43:52.Now the five K in a Lausanne. This the pole vote situation. It has
:43:52. > :43:53.
:43:53. > :44:02.finished now. This is the Cuban competitor, coming in at 5.63. He
:44:02. > :44:11.had 5.43 and then had 5.73. He failed three times. So he got third
:44:11. > :44:18.place here. Now the German, in second place. His find a result,
:44:18. > :44:23.5.723, two attempts at 5.53, incidentally. He went on to attend
:44:23. > :44:30.5.80 in the end. A couple of failures at 5.88 but the favourite
:44:30. > :44:39.from France equalled his season best with the build you are about
:44:39. > :44:48.to see. 5.83. He came in at 5.63. Then have 5.73. He cleared that
:44:48. > :44:52.first time. Then went clear at 5.83. Three failures at 5.88. The French
:44:52. > :44:56.accept their indoor records and outdoor records are not equivalent
:44:56. > :45:01.so he is a six-metre of water overall. He won it here with a
:45:01. > :45:11.fight but 83, a very good one. You can see the six-metre potential
:45:11. > :45:32.
:45:32. > :45:38.giving up, of course. Will he go all the way through, yes he is. He
:45:38. > :45:43.has heavy strapping on his left calf. But I wonder if that
:45:43. > :45:49.indicates a serious problem or just a problem. He is so erratic. He can
:45:49. > :45:56.do big distances that he can also do Paul distances as well. No
:45:56. > :46:05.jumper after no jump, just one valid jump of 17.91. Have a look at
:46:05. > :46:15.this. He hits the board very well indeed. Good control, lovely second
:46:15. > :46:16.
:46:16. > :46:21.phase and almost a hit kick in the final stage. It was a world leading
:46:21. > :46:26.distance. He holds the world indoor record. Still some way to go for
:46:26. > :46:36.Jonathan Edwards' record. If there was a man with the potential to do
:46:36. > :46:47.
:46:47. > :46:57.it, here he is, Teddy Tamgho of Kipchoge in second place. In the
:46:57. > :47:14.
:47:14. > :47:24.orange strip is Bekele. The pace is tactical affair. By the standards
:47:24. > :47:26.
:47:26. > :47:32.of many of these men, it will be, I expect, on the slow side. Abera
:47:32. > :47:35.Kuma is a relatively new name. His from Ethiopia. It is quite
:47:35. > :47:39.staggering how the Kenyans and Ethiopians have this production
:47:39. > :47:45.line of young runners. Even Haile Gebrselassie said there are so many
:47:45. > :47:49.young runners coming through and he said he cannot keep up with them.
:47:49. > :47:53.They are in Addis Ababa and he cannot keep up with all the young
:47:53. > :48:03.lads who keep turning up and getting races in Europe and running
:48:03. > :48:06.world-class times. You mention to Abera Kuma, he was disqualified in
:48:06. > :48:11.the cross country for trading punches with another runner in the
:48:11. > :48:15.home straight. He does not like being pushed around on the track,
:48:15. > :48:25.batters the shore. He is in the leading group with Kipchoge and
:48:25. > :48:26.
:48:26. > :48:35.Chepkok. Gathimba has dropped out after seven laps. Someone was just
:48:35. > :48:45.trying to him to push on. Clearly, he is a reluctant leader. I am just
:48:45. > :48:45.
:48:45. > :49:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:49:52. > :50:02.after what happened tonight. They go through here with four laps to
:50:02. > :50:15.
:50:15. > :50:22.fast enough. Kipchoge goes to the lead and says, if you're not going
:50:22. > :50:32.to do the job properly, I think he is an angry man at the moment.
:50:32. > :51:06.
:51:06. > :51:16.Mergia is in second place. Chepkok straight now. Just over 1,000
:51:16. > :51:20.metres to run. We are down to five just beginning to ease the way.
:51:21. > :51:25.Kipchoge is controlling things. I think he suspects if he has got the
:51:25. > :51:34.lead and no one is prepared to come round him, he will not be pushing
:51:34. > :51:39.hard and they must be under pressure. I suspect he is confident.
:51:39. > :51:44.When you look at Imane Mergia of Ethiopia who is in second place at
:51:44. > :51:50.the moment, you will always find him in that leading pack of
:51:50. > :51:58.athletes. He won in Rome, that was a world-leading time. He was second
:51:58. > :52:03.in Eugene. That he has got a good finish on him as well. There is a
:52:03. > :52:12.little bit of a gap. They are beginning to spread out as we
:52:12. > :52:22.approach the final stages of this race. They are strung out. And
:52:22. > :52:33.
:52:33. > :52:43.Kipchoge is leading with over lap these four and Mark Kiptoo in 5th
:52:43. > :52:44.
:52:44. > :52:51.place. Kipchoge has a wonderful CV, he was world champion and Olympic
:52:51. > :53:01.silver. He always produces the goods. As they come towards the
:53:01. > :53:03.
:53:03. > :53:13.bell now, it is between these four men. 61.8, that penultimate lap.
:53:13. > :53:22.
:53:22. > :53:31.Not particularly quick. We are down Is that a smile? I think it was,
:53:32. > :53:36.not a grimace. Mergia in second place. Chepkok moving onto his
:53:36. > :53:40.shoulder. Kipchoge is in control. He is running the shortest line.
:53:40. > :53:46.They have to run wide and that is critical. It is a tactical race
:53:46. > :53:56.which this one has been. He has controlled it so far. Mergia trying
:53:56. > :53:58.
:53:58. > :54:06.to come past 10. Chepkok coming through. Oh, my word! They get a
:54:06. > :54:12.meeting record. It was always possible. Chepkok takes it from
:54:12. > :54:19.Mergia. Kipchoge, despite doing everything right, maybe those lex
:54:19. > :54:25.now I'm not quite with the same speed that they used to have, even
:54:25. > :54:35.though he is certainly not in the twilight of his career. He is 20
:54:35. > :54:45.
:54:45. > :54:50.years are. Chepkok there. Peers Well, a brilliant end to what has
:54:50. > :54:56.been a brilliant meeting and here is a reminder of how good it has
:54:56. > :55:03.been. Asafa Powell got out of the blocks
:55:03. > :55:06.faster than anybody else and he has never looked back. He ran in 9.78
:55:06. > :55:12.seconds. It was also a world leading
:55:12. > :55:15.performance in the men's triple jump. Teddy Tamgho jumped 17 metres
:55:15. > :55:25.91 and was half a metre ahead of Phillips Idowu Will.
:55:25. > :55:26.
:55:26. > :55:30.In the women's 100-metre hurdles, Sally Pearce then won. -- Sally
:55:30. > :55:37.Pearson. Dai Greene gave the performance of the meeting, beating
:55:37. > :55:40.a world-class field in 48.44 seconds.
:55:41. > :55:45.Well, Colin, it has been an outstanding meeting. I think it
:55:45. > :55:49.came alive with the performance from Sally Pearson in the 100-metre
:55:49. > :55:54.hurdles. You cannot argue with that. The crowd got on their feet, they
:55:54. > :56:00.were cheering, it was an amazing race. That set everything up. When
:56:00. > :56:06.Sally came over to us, she stood next to us to watch Asafa Powell
:56:06. > :56:12.run the 100 metres and she said, do you want me now?! The way he got
:56:12. > :56:17.out of those blocks, he destroyed the field, didn't he? It was a true,
:56:17. > :56:23.sensational performance. It will be so amazing when he gets through to
:56:23. > :56:29.date give. He has that confidence about him. I thought, this was a
:56:29. > :56:33.different Asafa Powell, a man who believes what he can give. And Dai
:56:33. > :56:38.Greene? He has beaten a world-class field and he will take huge
:56:38. > :56:42.confidence from this? Yes, knowing he has still got something left in
:56:42. > :56:47.the tank. He has still got the sharpening and polishing to do.
:56:47. > :56:52.Once he gets the fluency. That just about rounds things up from
:56:52. > :56:56.Lausanne but plenty more athletics coming up on the BBC. On Friday
:56:56. > :57:03.eighth of July we are in Paris for the Diamond League. That is on the
:57:03. > :57:13.red button. Then we are in Birmingham on the red button on
:57:13. > :57:26.
:57:26. > :57:30.Don't forget tomorrow, further Andy Murray will be playing Rafael
