Good evening and welcome to Lausanne, the Olympic capital for

:00:47.:00:50.

live diamond lead athletics. Colin Jackson and I are here trackside

:00:50.:00:55.

and finally the sun shining on the diamond lead after the downpours of

:00:55.:00:59.

New York and Oslo. A fantastic evenings athletics to look out for.

:00:59.:01:03.

The men are out for our very first event of the evening, the 400

:01:03.:01:13.
:01:13.:01:16.

metres. Let's take a look at the lookout for lane at's 7 and 8. We

:01:16.:01:22.

can hand over to our commentary team for the Stevens -- this

:01:22.:01:32.
:01:32.:01:50.

Bob is Silicon to get amongst the medals in eight weeks' time. --

:01:50.:01:54.

obviously looking to get amongst the medals in eight weeks' time. A

:01:54.:02:01.

very strong young man. Jermaine Gonzalez, who hit the big time last

:02:01.:02:11.
:02:11.:02:12.

year who. 44.4. A new national record a year ago. Kevin, the

:02:12.:02:18.

European champion from last year, the Belgian. He, too, needs to

:02:18.:02:27.

start making some inroads. David of Ireland makes the line-up. A slow

:02:27.:02:33.

start of this year but he holds the national record for Ireland, but

:02:33.:02:39.

that, again, is not a great draw for him on the outside. There is

:02:39.:02:45.

Henry. Semi-finalist in the Olympic Games in 2008. 4th at the World

:02:45.:02:51.

Championships two years ago. And really, the Americans have not hit

:02:51.:02:55.

their straps this year. They had their championships last week but

:02:56.:03:05.
:03:06.:03:19.

nothing particularly special over about it, in my mind. Let's take a

:03:19.:03:25.

look at it again. I'm pretty sure that was David. I was looking down

:03:25.:03:30.

across the track. We have a wonderful position here at the

:03:30.:03:35.

Athletissima. It's a lovely evening. Quite breezy up here in the stands,

:03:35.:03:40.

but I suspect a lot more gentle on the track. That would be a great

:03:40.:03:45.

shame when he needs races, David, if he is disqualified here. Yes, it

:03:45.:03:50.

was a clear case, wasn't it? I know we had a green card in the past,

:03:50.:03:57.

but that look to to be spot-on. David is on his way out, I think.

:03:57.:04:03.

Still waiting to be told but he has been told now, and away he goes.

:04:03.:04:07.

The Irish man does not get his chance. A great shame, really. He

:04:07.:04:16.

has a couple of the indoor European golds, 2005 and at 2007. Looking to

:04:16.:04:23.

build up to the World Championships this year. He has gone. Seven men

:04:23.:04:29.

are lining up for the 400 metres, the second time of asking. The man

:04:29.:04:35.

from Ireland has disqualified himself from lane eight. You don't

:04:35.:04:45.
:04:45.:05:01.

see disqualifications too often. run this one? Gonzalez, second on

:05:01.:05:08.

the left, a very big man. Very steadily. Henry, in 4th. Henry has

:05:08.:05:15.

the long hair. Outside him, very aggressive. Gonzalez the

:05:15.:05:22.

challengers into the bend. We know he finishes strongly. Gonzalez is

:05:22.:05:27.

still going strongly. Henry is coming around the bend. Gonzalez is

:05:27.:05:33.

leading now. Here comes the European champion! He is putting it

:05:33.:05:41.

on the line against Gonzalez. It is a victory for Gonzalez. By about

:05:41.:05:48.

half a metre. Greats battle between them with every stride down the

:05:48.:05:53.

straight. Henry, a couple of metres back in third place. That is the

:05:53.:05:58.

winning time. It doesn't threaten the stadium record by Michael

:05:58.:06:05.

Johnson, which goes back 15 years. A good competitive race. He had to

:06:05.:06:10.

really dig deeper, Gonzalez. Yes, he ran a quick first to 200 metres.

:06:10.:06:16.

Plenty left, I thought, at 300 metres, but then he started to be

:06:16.:06:20.

run down but he had a little bit left at the end. He has a season

:06:20.:06:26.

best, just outside. Kevin, the European champion, he looks in very

:06:26.:06:31.

good form on the outside. Pindar not running to form, from the

:06:31.:06:41.
:06:41.:06:41.

Bahamas. Henry in third place. A great battle at the front. These

:06:41.:06:51.
:06:51.:06:52.

are the three. This man, clearly, Not the fastest that to this

:06:52.:06:55.

evening's action but very, very competitive and there is plenty

:06:55.:06:58.

more to come. Here is a taste of what is coming up in the next

:06:58.:07:05.

couple of hours. Dai Greene goes in the hurdles fresh from the team

:07:05.:07:09.

championships. Tonight he takes on the best in the world. It doesn't

:07:09.:07:15.

get much better than the men's triple jump. Phillips Idowu against

:07:15.:07:23.

Teddy Tamgho. In the men's 100 metres French sensation Christophe

:07:23.:07:29.

Lemaitre takes on former world record holder Asafa Powell. In the

:07:29.:07:33.

women's getting other bidders, the world champion, Caster Semenya,

:07:33.:07:43.
:07:43.:07:45.

based is the world champion Maryam Plenty of action going on all the

:07:45.:07:55.
:07:55.:08:10.

way through. -- here is this Plenty to look forward to. The

:08:10.:08:16.

weather is good, as I've said. Of for Mr Jackson, this was never the

:08:16.:08:22.

happiest hunting ground, was it? I competed here seven times but my

:08:22.:08:27.

best position was second, some of the best for me. As I look above

:08:27.:08:29.

the camera men, there are plaques with the European world record

:08:29.:08:37.

which have been broken here, and it does say, 100-metre hurdles,

:08:37.:08:44.

Lausanne. Thanks. Renowned for speed here. But we have a great

:08:45.:08:49.

race coming up later. The big news is that that Tyson day has not made

:08:49.:08:54.

it through the US trials. We were looking forward to that head-to-

:08:54.:08:59.

head clash again with Tyson and Usain Bolt but unfortunately that's

:08:59.:09:03.

not going to happen. He has an injury which has been niggling him

:09:03.:09:08.

for many years. He has a tiny injuries which set him back. That's

:09:08.:09:12.

one of the reasons we don't see him at his best all the time, but I'm

:09:12.:09:16.

looking forward to the head to head when they are both healthy and fit.

:09:16.:09:22.

It will be truly exciting. Tyson, the last few years have been

:09:22.:09:26.

a constant struggle against injury. You wonder whether his body will

:09:26.:09:30.

keep on getting him down. It's a massive shame for him because he

:09:30.:09:34.

knows what we have seen so far is not his best, and he believes he

:09:35.:09:40.

can battle seriously head-to-head and be a serious competitor to

:09:40.:09:47.

Usain Bolt. Perhaps we will see this year, at the Olympics, we will

:09:47.:09:56.

see it in London. One athlete who will be there challenging

:09:56.:09:59.

controversially is Justin Gatlin who did not make it through the US

:09:59.:10:04.

trials. He has been world champion, but unfortunately has also been

:10:04.:10:08.

positive up for four years and had a drug ban. He did very well to

:10:08.:10:13.

make the West team, and has gone under 10 seconds a few occasions

:10:13.:10:18.

this year, and will be interesting to see how we takes on the rest of

:10:18.:10:24.

the world. He is used to take non- Americans. He will be taking on the

:10:24.:10:28.

Jamaicans in. It will be a big test for him was a it's a strange

:10:28.:10:35.

situation in terms of the rules at the moment for drug-taking. He can

:10:36.:10:44.

compete in the Olympics. Dwain Chambers can't. There's now a new

:10:44.:10:49.

rule which says you can't compete in the Olympic Games. Regardless

:10:49.:10:54.

what you feel about drug-taking, we could do with a uniform rule,

:10:54.:11:01.

couldn't we? It's difficult to break everything down. We have

:11:01.:11:04.

athlete with different reasons why they can and can't run, and you

:11:04.:11:13.

have got to take each athlete case by case. The then you will find it

:11:13.:11:18.

why you can or can't compete in the Olympic Games. Dwain it can't

:11:18.:11:22.

compete at all because of the bylaw. The US the Olympic Committee have

:11:22.:11:26.

taken the IOC to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to challenge

:11:26.:11:31.

their ruled to stop people competing. If they were to be

:11:31.:11:37.

successful, you wonder whether it Dwain it could consider another

:11:37.:11:41.

crack at it. It will be an interesting thing for him but I

:11:41.:11:46.

think he should concentrate on his running a bar of an battling for

:11:46.:11:49.

himself. He has the European Championships to compete in,

:11:49.:11:55.

remember. What about Usain Bolt? Early-season form a bit shaky. He

:11:55.:12:01.

looked better in Oslo. Where do you assess him at the moment in terms

:12:01.:12:05.

of the build up? I watched him carefully after he ran the 200

:12:05.:12:10.

metres in Oslo to see what his fitness levels was like and he was

:12:10.:12:15.

playing very nicely with the crowd. When he spoke to us, he was

:12:15.:12:20.

certainly under control of his breath. It didn't seem to tax him

:12:20.:12:25.

in any way. It's a sign he's in great shape. He needs polishing.

:12:25.:12:32.

Once he gets that done, and drops a few seconds, I think he will defend

:12:32.:12:37.

his world titles comfortably. think he's next in the diamond lead

:12:37.:12:47.
:12:47.:12:59.

in Paris. That will be live online. A very good win from Gonzalez.

:12:59.:13:04.

Kevin coming back into some form, I think. It was good to see. The 400

:13:04.:13:09.

metres is quite competitive. Everybody is expecting it to be

:13:09.:13:16.

alive by now. The quick runs have not happened. Every athlete

:13:16.:13:20.

believes in themselves now. Gonzalez himself was only 4th in

:13:20.:13:25.

the Jamaican championships, and, really, it meant to wasn't going to

:13:25.:13:28.

make the world championship team when he is the world record holder

:13:28.:13:33.

in Jamaica for the fortunately, the man who finished second decided not

:13:33.:13:38.

to do the 400 metres so Gonzales mixed into the team. It has been a

:13:38.:13:43.

strange season for the 400 metres season. Maguire struggling and not

:13:43.:13:47.

winning. Two or three years ago, we were talking about him being in the

:13:47.:13:52.

next world record holder. expected him to be dominant. Yes,

:13:52.:13:56.

it hasn't happened for him from here on in. It will be an

:13:56.:14:00.

interesting battle. Gone are the times when we could predict who the

:14:00.:14:05.

winner was clearly. Now it is a true battle and I think the world

:14:05.:14:09.

of athletics, we like to see it, if we like established names but also

:14:09.:14:13.

like to see people challenging them. Up from a British point of view,

:14:13.:14:20.

one athlete we have looked towards looking at would be Martin Bruny.

:14:20.:14:25.

He has struggled, hasn't he? Yes, it's difficult for the guys to get

:14:25.:14:30.

into the groove. You need to have a lot of background behind you. If

:14:31.:14:34.

you can get two solid winters behind you, it seems to see you

:14:34.:14:39.

through. If you can get into that magical 45 seconds, anything could

:14:39.:14:44.

happen for the the women's 400 metres coming up later on. Now we

:14:44.:14:54.
:14:54.:15:01.

can get back to the action with the the leading group. All of a sudden,

:15:01.:15:05.

there is a little break between the leading group and the principles

:15:05.:15:12.

and those following. A little group following led by Perrera. There

:15:12.:15:19.

have latched on to the back. need this sort of aggression in the

:15:19.:15:25.

early stages because these ladies have got to learn to run fast.

:15:25.:15:31.

While Chambers can win races on the circuit, she will not be pushed

:15:31.:15:37.

towards the quickest times. The pacemaker has asked to go out after

:15:37.:15:40.

three kilometre us, that has to be with the collusion of the leading

:15:40.:15:44.

athletes. I imagine these ladies want to start attacking the clock

:15:44.:15:53.

and run fast times. This middle kilometre is crucial. A as we are

:15:53.:15:56.

looking at the tail-enders coming through the water jump, a good way

:15:56.:16:03.

behind the leaders at the moment. Now we have the second of the

:16:03.:16:13.
:16:13.:16:35.

pacemakers. All of the principles is no doubt about it. There have

:16:35.:16:42.

certainly slowed in this medal kilometre. There coming towards two

:16:42.:16:49.

kilometres now. Remember, that first kilometre was 3.02. Yes, it

:16:49.:16:59.
:16:59.:17:01.

is very much slower, this. What a shame. 3.13 for this. Pacemaking

:17:01.:17:11.
:17:11.:17:37.

has not worked at all. There was reduced to single file for about

:17:37.:17:44.

the first time. This group of seven are well away. Bikinis in is

:17:44.:17:54.
:17:54.:18:08.

looking very strong. -- bit lap and a half ago. There are five

:18:08.:18:18.
:18:18.:18:18.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:18:18.:19:01.

or six there. A dummy looks like it has allowed the race to develop

:19:01.:19:08.

as a race proper. This is where they have got to start staying with

:19:08.:19:12.

the leader and put pressure on her. She loves a free run at the last

:19:12.:19:22.
:19:22.:19:22.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:19:22.:20:14.

world this year. We thought we might get something like that. This

:20:14.:20:20.

season's best nine. Well. But that middle kilometre called all the

:20:20.:20:26.

problems as well as -- as far as records were concerned. It is the

:20:26.:20:30.

third fastest race of the year so far. I think there is some gusting

:20:30.:20:40.
:20:40.:20:45.

Next up on-track is this man's event, the 110-metre men's hurdles.

:20:45.:20:50.

The British number one, Andy Turner has had a good season including

:20:50.:21:00.
:21:00.:21:05.

this recent win at the European blocks but Turner is coming away.

:21:05.:21:15.
:21:15.:21:16.

Turner gets it! Maximum points for Great Britain. 13.44.

:21:16.:21:25.

So, a good win for Andy Turner 10 days ago. So he will realise the

:21:25.:21:29.

challenges in this event last eight with America, Cuba and it is a

:21:29.:21:34.

question whether he can step up to that. Yes, it is a very difficult

:21:34.:21:39.

task. The guys he is competing against our super-strong. They go

:21:39.:21:45.

under 13 seconds on a regular basis. It's hard to beat that kind of

:21:45.:21:49.

consistency. And you will have to keep working hard. I hope he can

:21:49.:21:55.

get into the 13th were 1s because once he can do that he becomes

:21:55.:22:02.

competitive -- 13.1. He can sneak in and take the medals. He has got

:22:02.:22:07.

to get there first. One of the things that Andy has shown, he has

:22:07.:22:15.

got a lot of character and a real will to succeed. Absolutely, he is

:22:15.:22:18.

determined. He is a good quality athlete. If he did not have that

:22:18.:22:21.

bad Achilles tendon, I'm pretty sure he would be running much

:22:21.:22:31.
:22:31.:23:02.

quicker. Now, we can catch up with national junior record holder. She

:23:02.:23:07.

is a seven-metre jump at her best. She was in second place right the

:23:07.:23:15.

way up to the end along with Proctor, until the second jump. It

:23:15.:23:25.
:23:25.:23:38.

was a season's best far higher. -- from. A very simple technique. Six

:23:38.:23:48.
:23:48.:24:13.

executed very well. That was good Great Britain. The wind early on

:24:13.:24:18.

this evening as several races unfold it here, was very much

:24:18.:24:26.

behind the sprinters down the home straight. I remember coming here.

:24:26.:24:33.

There have been many world records in this arena. In particular, by

:24:33.:24:39.

Lui Chuang in the 110-metre hurdles three years ago. The conditions are

:24:39.:24:49.
:24:49.:24:56.

the next race, the 110-metre hurdles. And also for the 100

:24:56.:25:03.

metres race later on. Another little glance at the end of the

:25:03.:25:13.
:25:13.:25:37.

steeplechase. You can see how close before.

:25:37.:25:41.

Are a good performance there from Sharrock Proctor. She is from a

:25:41.:25:47.

British dependent territory. Has been some controversy about

:25:47.:25:54.

switching allegiance but Anglia is a British dependent territory. She

:25:54.:25:59.

has British citizenship so and she could not stay in the -- she could

:25:59.:26:03.

not compete in the British Olympics. Let's go back to the hurdles. We

:26:03.:26:07.

have talked about Andy Turner. Will Sharman, he looked really strong

:26:07.:26:12.

but he has suffered a bit from injury. In my mind, and it would be

:26:12.:26:17.

good to get your view of an -- as an expert, he has a different

:26:17.:26:23.

technique to Andy Turner? He is far more fluid and balletic. And uses

:26:23.:26:30.

more brute force when he gets down the 110-metre straight. Whether you

:26:30.:26:33.

would say one is better than the other, it is dependable. I would

:26:33.:26:38.

not put my money one way or the other. They are both very strong

:26:38.:26:42.

athletes. Will Sharman had 4th place in the championships. It came

:26:42.:26:46.

out of the blue. We were looking for him to do something more

:26:46.:26:52.

special. Injury hampers you in this event and I'm hoping that both of

:26:52.:26:56.

them can get back healthy because goods domestic competition makes a

:26:56.:27:03.

big difference in this event. can look at the start this now. The

:27:03.:27:12.

world record holder is Dayron Robles. Injury jumped on him at the

:27:12.:27:19.

wrong time in his career. So I am thinking that once again he is fit

:27:19.:27:24.

and healthy. This event will be explosive. They talk about the 100

:27:24.:27:28.

metres being explosive and a great watch, but trust me, this is a

:27:28.:27:35.

great event. There is Dayron Robles. He is a

:27:35.:27:41.

world record holder and Olympic champion. 13.07 is his best this

:27:41.:27:49.

season. Jason Richardson on his right is the world youth champion

:27:49.:27:55.

in 2003. He has come on a bit. Andy Turner, the European and

:27:55.:28:02.

Commonwealth champion. He is next to Ryan Wilson who has not really

:28:02.:28:12.
:28:12.:28:14.

performed this season. Daniel Kiss of Hungary, a European bronze-

:28:14.:28:18.

medallist last year. A quarter- finalist in the Olympic Games in

:28:18.:28:28.
:28:28.:28:28.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:28:28.:29:17.

2008. Certainly, all eyes will be Dayron Robles is already going away

:29:17.:29:23.

from this field. He is being chased hard by Richardson on his left. It

:29:23.:29:28.

will be very close. Dayron Robles gets it. Thomas from Richardson, I

:29:28.:29:36.

think. It is pretty well what I expected, I must say. Andy Turner

:29:36.:29:43.

was 4th. The wind speed plus one metre per second. There is a little

:29:43.:29:49.

way to go before Dayron Robles will impact on David Oliver and Lui

:29:50.:29:57.

Chuang. That will be one of the big finals. It is one of the big finals

:29:57.:30:07.
:30:07.:30:13.

in the world championships. Watch really, he has a little bit of work

:30:13.:30:17.

to do but there is early days. There is plenty of time to build up

:30:17.:30:21.

to the World Championships. I didn't think he got out that well.

:30:21.:30:28.

He looked a little bit laboured. You expected him to move away. I

:30:28.:30:31.

saw him racing about a month ago and he looked a lot better than

:30:31.:30:38.

this and much was a lot faster. That is a very small winning margin

:30:38.:30:43.

there back to Thomas in second. Richardson to his right. That was

:30:43.:30:47.

not the form you would expect. At the moment, I don't think that puts

:30:47.:30:52.

him on a par with the others. Not a bad time, but I don't think he will

:30:52.:30:58.

be happy with that. No, there's a little way to go. He has run faster

:30:58.:31:06.

than that. 13.07. Let's have another look at this. Watch his

:31:06.:31:14.

shoulders all the way down. His leg speed is good. Very fast. It brings

:31:14.:31:19.

the lead leg down. You have got to be on the ground to run, and this

:31:19.:31:26.

man is good at it, but, Tim, the others are a little bit ahead in

:31:26.:31:32.

the preparation stakes for the World Championship at the moment.

:31:32.:31:35.

Look at the Jamaican support here. It absolutely magnificent, isn't

:31:35.:31:41.

it? They are everywhere. There are three great Jamaica's in the 100

:31:41.:31:49.

metres coming up. The only one missing is a certain Usain Bolt. A

:31:49.:31:54.

glorious evening for the people in the sunshine. It was about a 25

:31:54.:31:59.

degrees this afternoon. Quite cold in the shade. Quite a bit of wind.

:31:59.:32:09.
:32:09.:32:28.

But, I suspect, he is nice and warm Andy, a new personal best? Yes.

:32:28.:32:32.

Obviously I'm happy to finally get rid of that personal best.

:32:32.:32:36.

Technically, the race. There was quite a few mistakes. I know there

:32:36.:32:41.

is more to come. It is a stepping stone. I have got to get things

:32:41.:32:49.

right. I'm delighted to run a personal best. You must take great

:32:49.:32:52.

confidence from being within touching that since of the world

:32:52.:33:00.

record holder. -- touching distance. Yes, I beat him once but he fell

:33:00.:33:08.

over! It's nice to close that gap a little bit. I Mr it on the European

:33:08.:33:14.

indoors to close the gap on these types of people. -- I missed out on

:33:14.:33:18.

the European indoors. You talked about the injections in your

:33:18.:33:24.

Achilles heel. How is that doing? I'm doing good. It's so nice to be

:33:24.:33:29.

pain-free. It's a massive relief every time I get here. I am at peak

:33:29.:33:35.

condition. I'm going for it, touch wood. A great job, Andy. A tough

:33:35.:33:40.

race for you. Coming back from injury, how would you assess where

:33:40.:33:45.

you're at at the moment? I am lacking hurdle practice, basically

:33:45.:33:50.

so, in May, I went to training camp and picked up a softer tissue

:33:50.:33:54.

injury. It took longer than expected. At first, nothing showed

:33:54.:33:58.

up on the MRI scans other went back into training, and damaged it

:33:58.:34:05.

further. When you what training below the game line, not able to do

:34:05.:34:10.

any hurdling, it takes time to go back and I think that is where I am

:34:10.:34:15.

at at the moment. I think a lot will be gained over the next eight

:34:15.:34:23.

weeks just by racing, so... think you have enough time? I have

:34:23.:34:27.

done it before. I up have never been known for running personal

:34:27.:34:31.

bests at the beginning of the season. Normally, it is there

:34:31.:34:36.

latter half of the year when I begin to shine. I am optimistic.

:34:37.:34:41.

It's hard against great athletes, but his champions, against the rest

:34:41.:34:46.

of the world. -- British champions. You want to represent Britain with

:34:46.:34:50.

pride but when you're lacking training, it shows on the day.

:34:50.:34:55.

luck. I hope you get it right. Next up on the track is one of the

:34:55.:35:01.

highlights of this evening, the men's 800 metres. It features the

:35:01.:35:09.

world record holder who has been up expect something special this

:35:09.:35:19.

evening, I think. He won the world title in the 2007. Now the former

:35:19.:35:26.

world junior silver-medallist in lane five. The European champion

:35:26.:35:33.

recently ran a great 250 metres. Now the silver-medallist from last

:35:33.:35:43.
:35:43.:35:43.

year. A fairly modest 146. Here is Davis. Last week he ran a really

:35:43.:35:51.

useful race in France just to warm himself up for this one. He will be

:35:51.:35:59.

the pacemaker, Sammy. I was talking to David's agent last night and he

:36:00.:36:06.

said last week he did a track session, the first one in some time,

:36:06.:36:16.
:36:16.:36:32.

world class a run as well, David. I wonder how quick he will run

:36:32.:36:42.
:36:42.:36:51.

tonight? -- he was a world class This reduces the danger. We are

:36:51.:36:59.

looking for around 495. He ran up 23 followed by 23. That is

:36:59.:37:09.
:37:09.:37:14.

interesting. He is so smooth at the moment and looks so cool. Rudisha

:37:14.:37:21.

With just over 300 metres to run. At five-metre lead at the moment.

:37:21.:37:27.

Moving into third place now. A lot of running to do. He is stretching

:37:27.:37:35.

away. Look at that gap in the space of 150 metres. He has taken them

:37:35.:37:43.

out of the competition. They are really struggling back. Rudisha, as

:37:43.:37:53.

the comes around the bend, it's a majestic run. Second place, he is

:37:53.:37:59.

kicking had. The rest of them are struggling here -- he is kicking

:37:59.:38:06.

hard. I don't think he really accelerated there. He knew he had

:38:06.:38:11.

done enough down the back straight. He was looking at the big screen to

:38:11.:38:15.

see he had about a 12-metre leader and he knew the damage had been

:38:15.:38:25.
:38:25.:38:26.

done. I'm not sure he's anything like last year when he set a world

:38:26.:38:32.

record in September. 29th August. He's not in that sort of shape yet,

:38:32.:38:38.

but he will be. He is coming back from injury. I understand he has

:38:38.:38:45.

been doing a lot of running in the woods. Doing some strides, playing

:38:45.:38:55.

at cautious. Plenty of time on his Quite an athlete, isn't he? The

:38:55.:38:58.

men's triple jumper just getting under way and that features the big

:38:58.:39:05.

head-to-head between Philips has to do -- Phillips Idowu and Teddy

:39:05.:39:15.
:39:15.:39:22.

Tamgho. They are great rivals but Me and Teddy are cool. We get on

:39:22.:39:28.

really, really well. I love him. He's like my little brother. He's a

:39:28.:39:36.

very talented kid. He has made sure I can't just sit back. I can't

:39:36.:39:41.

think, I am the world champions. Year by year, I know I have got to

:39:42.:39:47.

keep improving, so he has pushed me to go out and think, I have got to

:39:47.:39:51.

do the big races this season. It's good having in the sport. He makes

:39:51.:40:01.
:40:01.:40:01.

it exciting. He is older than me. When he talks to me, I want to

:40:01.:40:08.

understand because I know he has good advice. He told me I need

:40:08.:40:16.

experience in the competitions. He started to be a big jumper. In the

:40:16.:40:24.

2000 Olympic Games, Sydney, second in Beijing with experience. Great

:40:24.:40:30.

experience. He told me, with experience, I could be better up.

:40:30.:40:36.

When you line up alongside Teddy, he has the height advantage of.

:40:36.:40:43.

It's difficult to answer. I think it's fifty-fifty. He has experience.

:40:43.:40:51.

He is stronger, too. Unique. I have jumped further than him but I am

:40:51.:40:59.

younger. It's going to be very difficult to choose a winner.

:40:59.:41:03.

are both their respect to each other. We both know there is more

:41:04.:41:09.

to come so we need to be on our game. I don't know where the

:41:09.:41:15.

advantage lies. You just have to find it on the day. Colin, what

:41:15.:41:19.

happened to the bad days when competitors hated each other?

:41:19.:41:23.

days are long gone. They are good guys and they respect each other

:41:23.:41:27.

which is the most important thing, but they also know how tough it is

:41:27.:41:32.

to compete against each other. You going into this competition, Teddy

:41:32.:41:40.

is in the lead. Phillips has got to catch him but it's about that clash

:41:41.:41:44.

of. The young pretender looking to take the crown in every single

:41:44.:41:49.

competition. It's going to be good today. The wind conditions are

:41:49.:41:55.

ideal. Some good jumping already. The women's long jump, for example.

:41:55.:42:00.

I'm looking forward to seeing the world's best mark past. Not the

:42:00.:42:07.

world record but this season best. How important do you think of this

:42:07.:42:14.

season is to Phillips Idowu in terms of getting a psychological

:42:14.:42:20.

one-upmanship on a teddy? It is vital. You want to compete and show

:42:20.:42:23.

your dominance. It doesn't matter how many times you can be digging

:42:24.:42:28.

somebody, you have got to let them know you're a serious competitor

:42:28.:42:34.

and they have to watch you. That is what Phillips wants to show over

:42:34.:42:39.

Teddy Tamgho this time. Teddy Tamgho has the potential, 17.98 in

:42:40.:42:44.

New York last year. But a major outdoor championship, he looks

:42:44.:42:51.

vulnerable. A Phillips matured into the athlete we know he could be.

:42:51.:42:55.

knew he had the potential to be the world champion. We knew he could go

:42:55.:43:00.

into these big championships and win them. He had to come back last

:43:00.:43:05.

year to take that title and he did it with a phenomenal job, so it's a

:43:05.:43:12.

great event. Another great head-to- head. A good competition. We can

:43:12.:43:16.

catch up with that men's 800 metres result. A Supreme performance from

:43:16.:43:26.
:43:26.:43:33.

Rudisha, he is a class act. People are coming back from major injuries.

:43:33.:43:40.

It's been a tough two years before here. They are focused on 2012 and

:43:40.:43:43.

they will make sure they are polished when they get there. The

:43:43.:43:46.

Olympic title is what they want and they will do anything to make sure

:43:46.:43:52.

they get it. We hope you will come along and talk to us in a moments

:43:52.:44:02.
:44:02.:44:04.

time, David Rudisha. We have Tiffany representing Britain at the

:44:04.:44:10.

moment. How do you think she has made the transfer? She has done it

:44:10.:44:14.

very well, very smoothly indeed. We have seen what she is capable of

:44:14.:44:19.

doing. She came through to the European indoors, shocking

:44:19.:44:23.

everybody in the European, showing what she has made of. Lowering the

:44:23.:44:28.

British record, as well. She is coming it tonight in a Lausanne, to

:44:28.:44:32.

wait up competition. She faces the Commonwealth and US champion, Sally

:44:32.:44:40.

Pearson. Sally is an incredible athlete in great form. She has run

:44:40.:44:45.

a good 100 metres, so it's a tough race for to have any tonight.

:44:45.:44:55.
:44:55.:45:12.

race is coming up shortly but now here than they are wary New York.

:45:12.:45:20.

An opening effort for the Frenchman. That is about 17.50 there, it

:45:20.:45:30.
:45:30.:45:32.

certainly looks very big Timmy. -- to me. It is no jump. What a shame.

:45:32.:45:42.
:45:42.:45:52.

That is a warning sign for Phillips championships last week. They are

:45:52.:46:02.
:46:02.:46:09.

planning -- up against an silver-medallist. She is the

:46:09.:46:14.

Commonwealth champion from last autumn. Danielle Carruthers is in

:46:14.:46:24.
:46:24.:46:40.

lane four. Kellie Wells goes in a world championship team before

:46:40.:46:50.
:46:50.:46:53.

but she has now. She has had a great season so far. Virginia

:46:53.:47:03.

Powell-Crawford in lane six. 4th in the US championships. Then at least

:47:03.:47:13.
:47:13.:47:14.

Iraq of Switzerland. She could be a surprise here -- Lisa. Derval

:47:14.:47:24.
:47:24.:47:48.

Pearson leading at the moment. It will be a win for the Australian by

:47:48.:47:54.

the smallest of margins! The winning time, 12.46. A very strong

:47:54.:48:04.
:48:04.:48:06.

following wind there. That was a quick time. The wind is way over

:48:06.:48:16.

the limit. Pearson got it, Carruthers second. It was tight but

:48:16.:48:21.

the Australian has travelled as well as the Americans and that was

:48:21.:48:30.

a cracking race between the two. Carruthers ran a 12.37 in the US.

:48:30.:48:40.

She was leading. Virginia Powell- Crawford was going well as well.

:48:40.:48:46.

Peers and has that little bit more momentum of the hurdle. It was very

:48:46.:48:56.

tight for third place. Danielle Carruthers is very much quicker

:48:56.:49:00.

this year. Running very strong over the flat and certainly, her

:49:00.:49:05.

technique is better. Pearson clearly the winner in a very, very

:49:05.:49:14.

good race. Sally Pearson just showing the Americans they cannot

:49:14.:49:20.

forget about the Australians, even though they do not appear very

:49:20.:49:25.

often on the circuits on the straights. Sally Pearson has come

:49:25.:49:29.

out after running the southern hemisphere season and very often

:49:29.:49:39.
:49:39.:49:53.

matches the best of the Americans they? Tiffany Ofili-Porter,

:49:53.:49:59.

disappointing for her, that would have been a British record.

:49:59.:50:07.

Certainly, Pearson, the point you made earlier on, 11.2. She has an

:50:07.:50:14.

edge on the flat over Danielle Carruthers. They really attack the

:50:14.:50:22.

hurdles well. Look at the way Pearson is so aggressive. 8 was a

:50:22.:50:31.

very, very good race indeed between the two. Fine sprint hurdling.

:50:31.:50:35.

athletes at the top of their game and the Australian coming out on

:50:35.:50:45.
:50:45.:50:54.

Tiffany Ofili-Porter alongside me. 12.64, you must be pretty happy

:50:54.:50:59.

with that? I would have been happier if it was not windy. But if

:50:59.:51:05.

the wind is behind you, it does not make it easier? That is true, it

:51:05.:51:10.

can actually help you if it is too strong. You were very competitive

:51:10.:51:15.

with the best athletes in the world? Yes, that is what it is all

:51:15.:51:20.

about. You cannot be satisfied running against people who are not

:51:20.:51:23.

the best so it is all about competing with the best in the

:51:23.:51:29.

world. You were watching the race on the slow-motion replay, what can

:51:29.:51:33.

you make of your form? I have so much more to give. I cannot wait

:51:33.:51:39.

for it all to come together! Just tell us what you mean by it that?

:51:39.:51:45.

can't give away my secrets but it will come together! I will ask CJ,

:51:45.:51:49.

he will tell me. He knows a bit about the hurdles. Thank you so

:51:49.:51:56.

much. So, Colin, she has so much more to give, what would you say

:51:56.:52:02.

your assessment is? Initially, she lost at the start. I think she was

:52:02.:52:05.

shocked because it was the first time she has raced against Sally

:52:05.:52:11.

and if you do not know people's strengths, it is hard to judge

:52:11.:52:15.

yourself. We know Sally is an incredible sprinter. She won the

:52:15.:52:19.

Commonwealth title. She was stripped of the title in another

:52:19.:52:23.

controversy. Tiffany has a lot of fluency to come. Once she settles

:52:23.:52:29.

down, because a lot has been gone - - a lot has gone on in her life,

:52:29.:52:34.

changing country, getting married, missing out on titles, a lot of

:52:34.:52:38.

expectation on her, once she settles down, she will get into

:52:38.:52:42.

that group. Athletics is about timing and rhythm and in the

:52:42.:52:47.

hurdles, it is the essence to pull the timing together. I believe we

:52:47.:52:51.

have a genuine world class athlete here who will be special again for

:52:51.:52:56.

us in 2012. Yes, she is really in the next there. Sally Pearson, you

:52:56.:53:01.

mentioned she is in great form. She has not been racing much on the

:53:01.:53:06.

circuit? First race. That is good. Everybody in Europe knows her now

:53:06.:53:11.

but to come here again, the first time out and pick up from where she

:53:11.:53:17.

left off last year, it sends a bit of a shock wave through people's

:53:17.:53:21.

back and saying debut, watch me, I will be there. There is still

:53:21.:53:29.

plenty more to come this evening. Dai Greene goes in the men's 400-

:53:29.:53:34.

metre hurdles. He won the European Championships and is up against the

:53:34.:53:38.

best in the world this evening. Then it is the world champion at

:53:38.:53:44.

800 metres over -- Against the world champion over 1,500 metres,

:53:44.:53:53.

Caster Semenya against Jamal. And then the men's 100 metres. Asafa

:53:53.:53:58.

Powell up against Christophe nature of France. So, Colin, plenty to

:53:58.:54:02.

look forward to there and your fellow countryman, Dai Greene, in

:54:02.:54:08.

the 400-metre hurdles will be good? That will be exciting for me! I

:54:08.:54:12.

believe he is in great shape. I have seen what he needs to do. The

:54:12.:54:16.

400-metre hurdles will be one of the best races of the day. We are

:54:16.:54:20.

going to 400 metres now. Sanya Richards-Ross is there. We can get

:54:20.:54:30.
:54:30.:54:53.

world indoor champion who won the title in Doha in 2010. She was

:54:53.:55:03.
:55:03.:55:31.

early on. Sanya Richards-Ross has got off very quickly indeed. They

:55:31.:55:41.
:55:41.:55:51.

Richards-Ross on the outside. Hastings on the outside. She is

:55:51.:55:59.

struggling. He looks like Richard's loss could come through to second

:55:59.:56:09.
:56:09.:56:37.

and she has got it. That is as surprised from Amantle Montsho. She

:56:37.:56:47.
:56:47.:56:57.

ran very well in gusty conditions. Shericka Williams? They were very

:56:57.:57:07.
:57:07.:57:08.

tired. Amantle Montsho in contrast had a massive lead the. If it was

:57:08.:57:18.
:57:18.:57:33.

not for Sanya Richards-Ross, she Montsho but also a very encouraging

:57:33.:57:38.

performance from Sanya. How do you assess that? That was my best run

:57:38.:57:44.

for the season. I'm proud. I wanted to run fast. I do not like losing.

:57:44.:57:49.

I'm definitely progressing so I am happy. Tell us about the challenges

:57:49.:57:54.

you have had, all of our viewers remain the winning and winning the

:57:54.:57:57.

Golden League so tell us about some of the struggles you have been

:57:57.:58:03.

through? In 2010 I had the season- ending injury. I pulled my quad

:58:03.:58:08.

muscle. I did not think it would be hard coming back that missing the

:58:08.:58:13.

he season was tough. My training has been going great. This race is

:58:13.:58:19.

encouraging. It is great to see you back on form. We wish you the best.

:58:19.:58:23.

She is one of the real stars of the sport. Let's hope she can really

:58:23.:58:29.

get back to form. It is very difficult when you take a whole

:58:29.:58:33.

season off to return instantly to your winning ways. She's very

:58:33.:58:37.

grounded, she understands what she needs to do. She's getting there

:58:37.:58:40.

slowly but surely. Each race is getting better and better and

:58:40.:58:46.

better. I hope she can get to under 50 seconds again. There is no Usain

:58:46.:58:52.

Bolt here this evening but the men's 100 metres will still be a

:58:52.:59:02.
:59:02.:59:32.

That men's 100 metres coming up very shortly indeed. I have got

:59:32.:59:36.

David behind me. It's great to see you back and healthy. Were you

:59:36.:59:44.

pleased with that run? Yes, I'm pleased. This is my second race. I

:59:44.:59:49.

am feeling very strong. I am coming back nicely from injury. Today I

:59:49.:59:54.

expected to run even better but I just felt the wind was strong on

:59:54.:59:59.

the back stretch. It's amazing how quickly you found your form after

:59:59.:00:06.

injury, particularly in your first race. Yes, when I got injured, I

:00:06.:00:14.

was really in good shape at the time but just before, I was injured.

:00:14.:00:19.

I just went out to serious training for two months before I started

:00:19.:00:25.

coming back and then I felt my body responding. David, thanks for

:00:25.:00:32.

speaking to us. Thank you. Great stuff. Unbelievable. Here is the

:00:32.:00:42.
:00:42.:00:47.

men's 100 metres. Colin, it's quite to him running at home, Christophe

:00:47.:00:55.

Lemaitre. The support from the crowd will push Ramon. Asafa Powell

:00:55.:01:00.

is the Jamaican champion, a strong athlete, and you can imagine what

:01:00.:01:09.

is looking forward to, too. Here is Phillips Idowu. I think this might

:01:09.:01:17.

be around one. No, the second round is in, obviously. What can he do in

:01:17.:01:27.
:01:27.:01:28.

the second round? Good, strong, running. It is over 17 metres. I

:01:28.:01:32.

think the wind is blowing backwards and forwards and it's very

:01:32.:01:38.

difficult for the athletes. Yes, it's very tough here. The wind has

:01:38.:01:43.

picked up. It is unusual for Lausanne, that the wind is so

:01:43.:01:47.

blustery. The athletes are struggling. In the women's long

:01:47.:01:55.

jump, it was to and fro, plus two down to minus one. It's difficult

:01:55.:02:03.

for them. I'm pretty sure he will be able to pull through. That was

:02:03.:02:11.

17.26. It was the first round. were right. There would have been a

:02:11.:02:19.

time when it could be a foregone conclusion for Christophe Lemaitre.

:02:19.:02:24.

I'm really pleased for him, you know. It's nice for us to have a

:02:24.:02:28.

European back in the 100 metres and seriously in the next. It will be

:02:28.:02:33.

interesting to hear what the home crowd is going to be like a. It's

:02:33.:02:43.
:02:43.:02:44.

going to be explosive when they announce his name. Asafa Powell.

:02:44.:02:48.

One of his team mates holds the record. He is only number five this

:02:48.:02:52.

year, but I feel it the wind speed stays inside the legal limit, he

:02:52.:02:57.

may improve his ranking this evening. His agent said is in very

:02:57.:03:06.

good shape. This man is in good form, Christophe Lemaitre. 999 and

:03:06.:03:16.
:03:16.:03:17.

then 995 in the last week. The European fans darling. Nesta Carter

:03:17.:03:24.

in lane six, another Olympic champion. Churandy Martina goes in

:03:24.:03:33.

lane seven for the Netherlands. And then the Pascal Mancini. He has a

:03:33.:03:39.

best of 10.41 this year. His lifetime best. He and Felix Goltl

:03:39.:03:44.

in lane one might be struggling in this company. Three Jamaicans in

:03:44.:03:54.
:03:54.:04:14.

this. No doubt, part of the A squad with a hamstring problem. Nesta

:04:14.:04:24.
:04:24.:04:28.

Carter, six. Pascal Mancini in lane eight. Good start. Not a great

:04:28.:04:31.

start for Christophe Lemaitre. He has gone all the way down at the

:04:31.:04:41.
:04:41.:04:41.

moment. He was coming through late, Christophe Lemaitre. One metre per

:04:41.:04:47.

second there for Asafa Powell, the fastest time in the world this year.

:04:47.:04:57.
:04:57.:04:59.

It knocks Gate of the rankings. -- it knocks Tyson Gave off the

:04:59.:05:07.

rankings. He has improved on the world best. Will it this man beat

:05:07.:05:10.

the jinx he has been the championship and get a world

:05:10.:05:16.

championship? There is a certain matter of the Usain Bolt are to be

:05:16.:05:22.

overcome. He will give him a tough run for his money. That's one of

:05:22.:05:26.

the best runs we have seen from a Asafa Powell for a year or two.

:05:26.:05:30.

It's the first time he was up against Christophe Lemaitre, who

:05:30.:05:35.

had a lot of publicity. Asafa Powell, though, just for once,

:05:35.:05:41.

being the favourite. We always call him the nearly man of. He was

:05:41.:05:45.

supposed to win an Olympic title, a world title and didn't do it. This

:05:45.:05:52.

time, you never know. He has got Usain Bolt have to contend with. He

:05:52.:05:58.

got away very well. So did Nesta Carter from Jamaica. Christophe

:05:58.:06:08.
:06:08.:06:09.

Lemaitre was under pressure. A good run by a Michael Frater. 995 for

:06:09.:06:13.

Christophe Lemaitre, equalling his national record. In third place, in

:06:13.:06:20.

the end, what a return for him, Michael Frater for the personal

:06:20.:06:24.

best. He has been there so long, Michael Frater, and all of a sudden

:06:24.:06:31.

he is back again. An astonishing recovery. He had an awful start.

:06:31.:06:38.

After 30 metres, he was three metres down. He was so poor but his

:06:38.:06:44.

second half was astonishing. It indicates the best event for

:06:44.:06:49.

Christophe Lemaitre will be 200. certainly was under pressure but

:06:49.:06:54.

this is the kind of races has got to get into. He has got to learn to

:06:54.:07:01.

cope with the pressure. Nesta Carter, good going, but this fellow

:07:01.:07:06.

was well ahead. Christophe Lemaitre, he is only 20, he is learning his

:07:06.:07:11.

trade. He is top of the tree in Europe but still some way to go in

:07:11.:07:17.

terms of the world. They got what they wanted, the French fans. What

:07:17.:07:22.

a second half for the young French man. The fastest time in the world

:07:22.:07:32.
:07:32.:07:37.

What a race. We thought it is going to be faster but did you think was

:07:37.:07:43.

going to be that fast? Sensational. Asafa Powell did not mess at all

:07:43.:07:50.

out of the blocks. He drove up the track and ended up with 978

:07:50.:07:55.

performance. The fastest time in the world. Only plus one would the

:07:55.:08:02.

wind speed. When they came out of the blocks. Four men under 10

:08:02.:08:11.

seconds. There are two national records, Norway and France. Another

:08:11.:08:14.

personal best there for Michael Frater from Jamaica. 988. I can

:08:14.:08:20.

assure you, what an amazing 100 metres. This place is coming alive

:08:20.:08:25.

and they love the sprint here. We see so many world record in the 100

:08:25.:08:31.

metres run on this track. You know, what Asafa Powell out of the blocks.

:08:31.:08:37.

He keeps going. As he approaches the line, he glances over to see

:08:37.:08:42.

the time. We know what is looking for. The that start was

:08:42.:08:49.

breathtaking. Christophe Lemaitre was just left. Absolutely. He has

:08:49.:08:52.

start against Asafa Powell on numerous occasions but today was a

:08:52.:09:02.
:09:02.:09:02.

special day. It's nice to see Asafa Powell back to his best. Only 600

:09:02.:09:09.

twos passed his personal best. That a mouth-watering prospect. Can the

:09:09.:09:17.

Americans get involved? Exciting times. Christophe Lemaitre showed a

:09:17.:09:21.

lot of composure there. A year ago, had he been left in the blocks like

:09:21.:09:27.

that, he perhaps would have given up a but he ran nine and 95 come

:09:27.:09:32.

equal to the national record. is what we strive for in athletics,

:09:32.:09:38.

consistency. It is your platform and that is where you were going to

:09:38.:09:45.

trample lean yourself from. 995, he has run a bad time three or four

:09:45.:09:49.

times this year. It will be a big breakthrough for him soon enough.

:09:49.:09:54.

He will get close to the European record and will probably break it,

:09:54.:09:58.

because he is on that plateau right now. A lot is happening in this

:09:58.:10:03.

stadium tonight. Hopefully we will speak to Asafa Powell and

:10:03.:10:13.
:10:13.:10:13.

Christophe Lemaitre shortly. Let's struggling.

:10:13.:10:20.

So much is expected of him. In that New York last year, bounding out

:10:20.:10:26.

17.98. He so nearly became the third man ever over 80 metres.

:10:26.:10:36.
:10:36.:10:45.

triple jumps to his name so far. Three good stages. That is massive.

:10:45.:10:51.

Teddy Tamgho goes bounding way beyond 17 metres. Almost in to 18-

:10:51.:10:56.

metre territory. That was enormous. He is a great show man and he

:10:56.:11:03.

really plays to the crowd. He lacks consistency to know he can do this.

:11:03.:11:09.

That's the end of round three. A wonderful way. Can they come back

:11:09.:11:15.

from that? 17.91 for Teddy Tamgho. It is the longest jump in the world

:11:15.:11:24.

this year. It's the passes his own 17.67. That was in a small French

:11:24.:11:29.

meeting back, 7th June. Here he is, three weeks later, and once thrust

:11:29.:11:39.
:11:39.:11:48.

17.91. This place has come alive. What do you think? I think it's a

:11:49.:11:55.

long way. He's a lovely jump was -- jumper pulls up I think he could

:11:55.:12:00.

break my world record. -- jumper. I think he could break my world

:12:00.:12:07.

record. It will be interesting to see how he responds? What does

:12:07.:12:15.

Teddy Tamgho have to do now? think it's experience. I think he

:12:15.:12:19.

gets over-excited at big championships. He has got so much

:12:19.:12:26.

energy. He bounds around everywhere. He believes he can jump 18 metres

:12:26.:12:30.

and be one of the best to triple jumpers ever. I think it gets the

:12:30.:12:35.

better of him because he got so much expectation of himself. For me,

:12:35.:12:43.

I'm afraid to see what Phillips does now. 17.21 in the second round.

:12:43.:12:46.

He is behind and I don't think he wants to give Teddy Tamgho a

:12:46.:12:51.

psychological advantage. What would be a good performance? Phillips

:12:51.:12:55.

would have to set a personal best to win this evening. What would be

:12:55.:13:04.

a good comeback for Phillips Idowu? Over 1750, for sure. Something 57

:13:04.:13:09.

is the best this season. I think that is the bare minimum -- 17 of

:13:10.:13:16.

the T7 is the best this season. -- 1757 is the best this season.

:13:16.:13:20.

Whether he can jump that far remains to be seen. I doubt that.

:13:20.:13:25.

He needs do something to walk away with his head held high. For an

:13:25.:13:30.

athlete like Teddy Tamgho, who has got so much feeling and relies on

:13:30.:13:37.

confidence, if he wins by 70 centimetres, it's a massive victory.

:13:37.:13:43.

Before, you have seen somebody jumper big before you. What did he

:13:43.:13:49.

do when he lines up on that? What goes through his mind? Belief?

:13:49.:13:56.

Phillips has not jump that far. Whatever anybody jump, I could

:13:57.:14:02.

always jump a little bit further. Anyway, we'll wait and see. We can

:14:02.:14:07.

go back out onto the track now for the women's for 200 metres. Caster

:14:07.:14:10.

Semenya or the world champion of the 800 metres against the world

:14:10.:14:20.
:14:20.:14:29.

champion over 1,500 metres, Maryam in Rome but was second in Eugene.

:14:29.:14:39.
:14:39.:14:44.

She has won this race three times before. There are two pacemakers. I

:14:44.:14:47.

mentioned before with the steeplechase how ambitious the pace

:14:47.:14:57.
:14:57.:15:23.

cannot see them taking on. SFO is maintaining the tempo. You expect

:15:23.:15:32.

an acceleration in the last 300 or 400 metres. Jamal does like a hard,

:15:32.:15:38.

fast pace, she does like to go and race halved so it may be her who is

:15:38.:15:41.

requesting this tempo and try and run the length of the others

:15:41.:15:47.

without the nicety of a sprint finish. Certainly, the pacemaking

:15:47.:15:57.
:15:57.:16:20.

the field. She very seldom runs the 1,500 metres. We will see how sheep

:16:20.:16:30.
:16:30.:16:39.

fairs here. Mimi Belete of Bahrain is on the outside. They must be

:16:39.:16:46.

doing some strength work here. have to remember -- you have to

:16:46.:16:53.

wonder what Jamal is playing at. She is boxed now. Some 10 metres

:16:53.:16:58.

down on the pacemaker, another untidy race. The big South African

:16:58.:17:03.

Caster Semenya at the back of the field. She is in last place and

:17:03.:17:11.

losing ground and looks to be struggling to May. -- struggling to

:17:11.:17:16.

me. The pace is nowhere near what was requested. We have thrown that

:17:16.:17:26.
:17:26.:17:30.

out of the window now. Youzhny, the American is there. We are in for a

:17:30.:17:34.

thrilling race. We move into another pays -- phase as the

:17:34.:17:39.

pacemaker slows down. Jamal is now in 6th or 7th place now. Morgan

:17:39.:17:49.
:17:49.:18:02.

Uceny is in second place. Everybody that was in second place, it was

:18:02.:18:12.
:18:12.:18:29.

Uceny in second place. Hind Dehiba Chahyd from France has taken legal

:18:29.:18:37.

action to take place in this race. Morgan Uceny is coming wide on the

:18:37.:18:41.

outside. This is going to be a really close finish in this 1,500

:18:41.:18:50.

metres. Morgan Uceny is coming through to win? Or is she going to

:18:50.:18:58.

hold on? I think she is. It is a very good run indeed by the winner

:18:58.:19:08.

of the US trials. There is a faller at the end. It was a very, very

:19:08.:19:14.

strange race. Caster Semenya just coming across the line. Morgan

:19:14.:19:19.

Uceny winning and winning well. It turned into a competitive race

:19:19.:19:26.

which was important. The story I was making about hind it to be had

:19:26.:19:30.

shade of France, she took out a legal order to take part in this

:19:30.:19:39.

meeting. She was not originally invited -- Hind Dehiba Chahyd. More

:19:39.:19:46.

about that on another day. A very strange race indeed. Morgan Uceny

:19:46.:19:55.

finding it easy to take that one. Anna Mishchenko coming through for

:19:55.:20:04.

second race. -- second place. Jamal was out of sorts. And the likes of

:20:04.:20:14.

Kalkidan Gezahegne. Very strange indeed. Morgan Uceny has won a

tactical 1,500 metres. It was all Alongside me, the fastest man in

:20:28.:20:33.

the world this year, Asafa Powell. A brilliant run. It was a fantastic

:20:33.:20:38.

run. I managed to push through and I was a winner. Tell us about the

:20:38.:20:44.

start because you left them for dead. I got a great start. We have

:20:44.:20:48.

been practising it for a very long time now and I want to know that

:20:48.:20:52.

every time. The question everybody will ask you, not just about being

:20:52.:20:57.

world champion but being the best in Jamaica, do you look forward to

:20:57.:21:02.

running against Usain Bolt? Definitely. Taking it one step at

:21:02.:21:06.

time. One I get to the world championships, that is the best.

:21:06.:21:12.

And you like this track? Yes, I love this track. It is very fast. I

:21:12.:21:18.

told Michael yesterday it is a good track. And the relay as well?

:21:18.:21:24.

knew it. Superb to see him back. Twice Olympic champion, back from

Next up on-track we have the men's 400-metre hurdles and a real test

for Dai Greene? Yes, this is a true shape to get close to Chris at the

the tank. He won bike two or 3 metres from the Commonwealth

for the now I'm getting drugs tested and I didn't even run a

:30:09.:30:11.

personal best! Tell us about this season. A massive breakthrough.

:30:11.:30:15.

Training with Dai Greene, obviously. I'm enjoying it. He is running

:30:15.:30:25.
:30:25.:30:30.

Listen to this. He is well-off what is capable of, Dai Greene. So in

:30:30.:30:35.

the context of the times everybody else ran, that's a very good run

:30:35.:30:40.

you just did. I'm not going to be happy until I get 48 at least, but

:30:40.:30:46.

it will come. I am happy enough. You almost had to reassess what

:30:46.:30:53.

your expectations are. Any thoughts? In October, I had world

:30:53.:30:56.

championship finals on my wall and it's going to stay like that, so I

:30:56.:31:02.

will be there. Jack, a great run. Good to see you. Colin, what did

:31:02.:31:08.

you make of that young man? It's never easy to come to this kind of

:31:08.:31:13.

competition and to get very close to your personal best. For me, it

:31:13.:31:18.

was really important he felt he was part of this competition. This is

:31:18.:31:22.

the way you develop. You get confidence from victories in your

:31:22.:31:27.

own age group. He got a silver medal at the European Under 23 is,

:31:27.:31:34.

but to come here now and mix in with these big guys, to really go

:31:34.:31:39.

there and perform the way he did, was just sensational. I think

:31:39.:31:46.

people are wondering what the crowd noise is about. They are doing this

:31:46.:31:56.
:31:56.:32:00.

kind of sound -o-metre. Coming back to Jack Green, you see athletes to

:32:00.:32:05.

step onto the world stage and they perform so far below what they are

:32:06.:32:09.

capable of because of their confidence. For him to do that was

:32:09.:32:16.

an achievement. One thing I got to add to that is when you see your

:32:16.:32:21.

training partner come to these competitions and do so well and you

:32:21.:32:24.

are rubbing shoulders with them day in day out, it gives you confidence

:32:24.:32:29.

and belief, two, because you think, he has beaten these guys, I am

:32:29.:32:35.

going to do it to. It's a great situation. Let's talk about Dai

:32:35.:32:40.

Greene. Hopefully we can speak to him very soon. A very mature

:32:40.:32:45.

performance. You come to expected now. Yes, when you come to a race

:32:45.:32:52.

like this, things can go wrong. Things can go horribly wrong but

:32:52.:32:57.

Dai Greene is very mature. He comes here, truly competitive, with the

:32:57.:33:01.

respect and regard from his opponents, so when he steps on the

:33:01.:33:05.

track now, they know what he's capable of, and it makes them are

:33:05.:33:10.

really worried. I'm looking forward to the world championships because

:33:10.:33:15.

I want there to be another Welsh champion. Next up is the women's

:33:15.:33:25.
:33:25.:33:25.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:33:25.:34:13.

European champion last summer. That One-metre 95. This could become a

:34:13.:34:18.

good competition. This has been a difficult one for her. She is in

:34:18.:34:23.

6th place at the moment. Unless she can become the second woman Clare

:34:23.:34:33.
:34:33.:34:34.

here... No, no, no. A bad day at the office, absolutely. That will

:34:34.:34:42.

do a lot of damage to a confidence. Absolutely lethargic. Nowhere near

:34:42.:34:50.

the heights we have seen last season. 2.05. Not so now. She has

:34:50.:34:54.

cleared two metres but, my goodness me, in conditions which are not bad,

:34:54.:35:00.

she has failed miserably here. 200 metres runners are in their

:35:00.:35:10.
:35:10.:35:18.

from the winner of the European Team Championships. She leads at

:35:18.:35:26.

the moment. They come round into the straight. The Ukraine, McKenzie,

:35:26.:35:35.

number three. Has she got the legs here? It's the Ukraine of. She

:35:35.:35:45.
:35:45.:35:46.

takes it. Maria, the Ukraine. The wind, not 0.2. It certainly feels

:35:46.:35:51.

stronger than that up here, I can tell you. If the flags are anything

:35:51.:35:58.

to go by around the arena, the wind is gusting awkwardly. Nonetheless,

:35:58.:36:04.

a rare victory for a Ukrainian in the diamond lead. The 23-year-old

:36:04.:36:12.

takes maximum points. 22.85. It wasn't the strongest. There was no

:36:12.:36:22.
:36:22.:36:33.

you can do, and she has done that Alongside me, Dai Greene. When you

:36:33.:36:37.

look at the field, you had the world champion in there, you also

:36:37.:36:40.

had Cornel Fredericks, the South African, who had a faster time than

:36:40.:36:46.

you, but did you feel you could win it? Yes, but form of the other

:36:46.:36:51.

athletes, I E of knew they were in great shape. Conditions were great

:36:51.:36:58.

today and I'm happy to come away from the victory. Clearly,

:36:58.:37:02.

conditions tonight were not conducive. I know I'm a close to

:37:02.:37:08.

the British record. I have been training very hard. I want to save

:37:08.:37:13.

my best for the championships. is your preparation after today?

:37:13.:37:17.

It's a long time. I feel I am ahead of schedule so there's no pressure

:37:17.:37:22.

on me to trying too hard. If I have an injury, I can ease off but I

:37:22.:37:28.

need to pressured if I want to be in the top three. This may be an

:37:28.:37:31.

unfair question, do you realistically believe you could

:37:31.:37:36.

become world champion? For the six and seven months of training in the

:37:36.:37:40.

winter, I don't imagine getting a silver medal, let's put it that way.

:37:40.:37:45.

You have to believe you can win. I know I've done all the hard work

:37:45.:37:50.

until this point. It's a matter of maintaining it. Colin, a brilliant

:37:50.:37:57.

performance. It shows the maturity of this man. He has moved on in

:37:57.:38:01.

leaps and bounds and it's great to see a fellow Welshman. I have to

:38:01.:38:06.

say that. He's an outstanding athlete. He's going to go from

:38:06.:38:08.

strength to strength from here so I'm looking forward to seeing him

:38:08.:38:16.

next. When his sharpness comes, watch out. The next competition for

:38:16.:38:24.

you? Birmingham. I get a lot of support in Birmingham. My

:38:24.:38:27.

girlfriend has from there. Birmingham has not too far from

:38:27.:38:37.

Wales, either. Well done tonight. Thanks very much. The measure of a

:38:37.:38:41.

performance was to come here and put away some of the best athletes

:38:41.:38:44.

in the world. We have seen too little of British athletes on the

:38:45.:38:51.

circuits mixing it with the best. Yes, what he said was clear, he

:38:51.:38:55.

wasn't boast four. He said he trained hard, prepared well and now

:38:55.:38:59.

he's out there to deliver his performance and he's doing that

:38:59.:39:03.

week-in, week-out, which is a great thing to see. It's going to be an

:39:03.:39:08.

exciting year this year for him in the build up towards 2012 and I

:39:08.:39:12.

think he will want to make it a solid World Championships, and look

:39:12.:39:17.

forward to the winter and preparing for the big one. We can catch up

:39:17.:39:20.

now with a field event which happened earlier on, the men's shot

:39:20.:39:30.
:39:30.:39:37.

competition. He had his work tough -- cut out for him without Dylan

:39:37.:39:43.

Armstrong, who missed his connecting flight to be here. 148,

:39:43.:39:53.
:39:53.:39:53.

he opened with. 21.83 in around three. A big effort. Seven

:39:53.:40:01.

centimetres ahead of Ron Whiting. The world champion looking good

:40:01.:40:05.

with the world championships eight weeks away. There are three or four

:40:05.:40:10.

men who could get this gold medal at this stage of the season. It's

:40:10.:40:16.

not a foregone conclusion. Dylan Armstrong 22 metres, 21. He missed

:40:16.:40:25.

his flight to come here. He was the man to beat. Christian dominated

:40:25.:40:32.

last year. He had an operation on a shoulder this year but now has come

:40:32.:40:42.
:40:42.:40:53.

Well, men's 5,000 metres coming up next. We can't not mention Mo and

:40:53.:40:58.

his stunning performance in America and the record. Part of the reason

:40:58.:41:03.

is running so well is he has changed coaches. Steve Cram went

:41:03.:41:11.

out to see what is been doing Apparently at got to jump in the

:41:11.:41:17.

freezing cold bath. If you don't mind, I will just watch. It is -70

:41:17.:41:27.
:41:27.:41:34.

degrees. Come on then. Let's go and What on earth does that feel like?

:41:34.:41:44.
:41:44.:41:45.

Amazing. I'm so pleased by didn't have to do this sort of thing. My

:41:45.:41:52.

coach made me go down to the sea and we would go and run in the

:41:52.:41:57.

North Sea. That's about as scientific as we got. OK in there?

:41:57.:42:07.
:42:07.:42:15.

What does it feel like when you come out? Are you stiff? Your body

:42:15.:42:21.

is just really cold. You recover straight away. Then you feel a lot

:42:21.:42:26.

better. Fantastic. I must put one of those on my Christmas shopping

:42:26.:42:36.
:42:36.:42:36.

list, actually. Do you want to get What a chicken Steve Cram is. I

:42:36.:42:43.

would have gone in there, wouldn't you? No chance! His transformation,

:42:43.:42:49.

down to his new coach, sellers are. It's had a big impact. That was one

:42:49.:42:54.

of the quickest runs ever. It was great to see. People have a lot of

:42:54.:42:59.

faith in him. We wish him well. We thought, go to the USA, see what

:42:59.:43:04.

happens, and we can hope you can improve, but to turn out that

:43:04.:43:10.

performance was just sensational, I absolutely loved it. But does he do

:43:10.:43:20.
:43:20.:43:20.

10, 5 K, it's a tough thing. What a nice dilemma to be in? I absolutely.

:43:20.:43:30.
:43:30.:43:42.

Now the five K in a Lausanne. This the pole vote situation. It has

:43:42.:43:52.
:43:52.:43:53.

finished now. This is the Cuban competitor, coming in at 5.63. He

:43:53.:44:02.

had 5.43 and then had 5.73. He failed three times. So he got third

:44:02.:44:11.

place here. Now the German, in second place. His find a result,

:44:11.:44:18.

5.723, two attempts at 5.53, incidentally. He went on to attend

:44:18.:44:23.

5.80 in the end. A couple of failures at 5.88 but the favourite

:44:23.:44:30.

from France equalled his season best with the build you are about

:44:30.:44:39.

to see. 5.83. He came in at 5.63. Then have 5.73. He cleared that

:44:39.:44:48.

first time. Then went clear at 5.83. Three failures at 5.88. The French

:44:48.:44:52.

accept their indoor records and outdoor records are not equivalent

:44:52.:44:56.

so he is a six-metre of water overall. He won it here with a

:44:56.:45:01.

fight but 83, a very good one. You can see the six-metre potential

:45:01.:45:11.
:45:11.:45:32.

giving up, of course. Will he go all the way through, yes he is. He

:45:32.:45:38.

has heavy strapping on his left calf. But I wonder if that

:45:38.:45:43.

indicates a serious problem or just a problem. He is so erratic. He can

:45:43.:45:49.

do big distances that he can also do Paul distances as well. No

:45:49.:45:56.

jumper after no jump, just one valid jump of 17.91. Have a look at

:45:56.:46:05.

this. He hits the board very well indeed. Good control, lovely second

:46:05.:46:15.
:46:15.:46:16.

phase and almost a hit kick in the final stage. It was a world leading

:46:16.:46:21.

distance. He holds the world indoor record. Still some way to go for

:46:21.:46:26.

Jonathan Edwards' record. If there was a man with the potential to do

:46:26.:46:36.
:46:36.:46:47.

it, here he is, Teddy Tamgho of Kipchoge in second place. In the

:46:47.:46:57.
:46:57.:47:14.

orange strip is Bekele. The pace is tactical affair. By the standards

:47:14.:47:24.
:47:24.:47:26.

of many of these men, it will be, I expect, on the slow side. Abera

:47:26.:47:32.

Kuma is a relatively new name. His from Ethiopia. It is quite

:47:32.:47:35.

staggering how the Kenyans and Ethiopians have this production

:47:35.:47:39.

line of young runners. Even Haile Gebrselassie said there are so many

:47:39.:47:45.

young runners coming through and he said he cannot keep up with them.

:47:45.:47:49.

They are in Addis Ababa and he cannot keep up with all the young

:47:49.:47:53.

lads who keep turning up and getting races in Europe and running

:47:53.:48:03.

world-class times. You mention to Abera Kuma, he was disqualified in

:48:03.:48:06.

the cross country for trading punches with another runner in the

:48:06.:48:11.

home straight. He does not like being pushed around on the track,

:48:11.:48:15.

batters the shore. He is in the leading group with Kipchoge and

:48:15.:48:25.
:48:25.:48:26.

Chepkok. Gathimba has dropped out after seven laps. Someone was just

:48:26.:48:35.

trying to him to push on. Clearly, he is a reluctant leader. I am just

:48:35.:48:45.
:48:45.:48:45.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:48:45.:49:52.

after what happened tonight. They go through here with four laps to

:49:52.:50:02.
:50:02.:50:15.

fast enough. Kipchoge goes to the lead and says, if you're not going

:50:15.:50:22.

to do the job properly, I think he is an angry man at the moment.

:50:22.:50:32.
:50:32.:51:06.

Mergia is in second place. Chepkok straight now. Just over 1,000

:51:06.:51:16.

metres to run. We are down to five just beginning to ease the way.

:51:16.:51:20.

Kipchoge is controlling things. I think he suspects if he has got the

:51:21.:51:25.

lead and no one is prepared to come round him, he will not be pushing

:51:25.:51:34.

hard and they must be under pressure. I suspect he is confident.

:51:34.:51:39.

When you look at Imane Mergia of Ethiopia who is in second place at

:51:39.:51:44.

the moment, you will always find him in that leading pack of

:51:44.:51:50.

athletes. He won in Rome, that was a world-leading time. He was second

:51:50.:51:58.

in Eugene. That he has got a good finish on him as well. There is a

:51:58.:52:03.

little bit of a gap. They are beginning to spread out as we

:52:03.:52:12.

approach the final stages of this race. They are strung out. And

:52:12.:52:22.
:52:22.:52:33.

Kipchoge is leading with over lap these four and Mark Kiptoo in 5th

:52:33.:52:43.
:52:43.:52:44.

place. Kipchoge has a wonderful CV, he was world champion and Olympic

:52:44.:52:51.

silver. He always produces the goods. As they come towards the

:52:51.:53:01.
:53:01.:53:03.

bell now, it is between these four men. 61.8, that penultimate lap.

:53:03.:53:13.
:53:13.:53:22.

Not particularly quick. We are down Is that a smile? I think it was,

:53:22.:53:31.

not a grimace. Mergia in second place. Chepkok moving onto his

:53:32.:53:36.

shoulder. Kipchoge is in control. He is running the shortest line.

:53:36.:53:40.

They have to run wide and that is critical. It is a tactical race

:53:40.:53:46.

which this one has been. He has controlled it so far. Mergia trying

:53:46.:53:56.
:53:56.:53:58.

to come past 10. Chepkok coming through. Oh, my word! They get a

:53:58.:54:06.

meeting record. It was always possible. Chepkok takes it from

:54:06.:54:12.

Mergia. Kipchoge, despite doing everything right, maybe those lex

:54:12.:54:19.

now I'm not quite with the same speed that they used to have, even

:54:19.:54:25.

though he is certainly not in the twilight of his career. He is 20

:54:25.:54:35.
:54:35.:54:45.

years are. Chepkok there. Peers Well, a brilliant end to what has

:54:45.:54:50.

been a brilliant meeting and here is a reminder of how good it has

:54:50.:54:56.

been. Asafa Powell got out of the blocks

:54:56.:55:03.

faster than anybody else and he has never looked back. He ran in 9.78

:55:03.:55:06.

seconds. It was also a world leading

:55:06.:55:12.

performance in the men's triple jump. Teddy Tamgho jumped 17 metres

:55:12.:55:15.

91 and was half a metre ahead of Phillips Idowu Will.

:55:15.:55:25.
:55:25.:55:26.

In the women's 100-metre hurdles, Sally Pearce then won. -- Sally

:55:26.:55:30.

Pearson. Dai Greene gave the performance of the meeting, beating

:55:30.:55:37.

a world-class field in 48.44 seconds.

:55:37.:55:40.

Well, Colin, it has been an outstanding meeting. I think it

:55:41.:55:45.

came alive with the performance from Sally Pearson in the 100-metre

:55:45.:55:49.

hurdles. You cannot argue with that. The crowd got on their feet, they

:55:49.:55:54.

were cheering, it was an amazing race. That set everything up. When

:55:54.:56:00.

Sally came over to us, she stood next to us to watch Asafa Powell

:56:00.:56:06.

run the 100 metres and she said, do you want me now?! The way he got

:56:06.:56:12.

out of those blocks, he destroyed the field, didn't he? It was a true,

:56:12.:56:17.

sensational performance. It will be so amazing when he gets through to

:56:17.:56:23.

date give. He has that confidence about him. I thought, this was a

:56:23.:56:29.

different Asafa Powell, a man who believes what he can give. And Dai

:56:29.:56:33.

Greene? He has beaten a world-class field and he will take huge

:56:33.:56:38.

confidence from this? Yes, knowing he has still got something left in

:56:38.:56:42.

the tank. He has still got the sharpening and polishing to do.

:56:42.:56:47.

Once he gets the fluency. That just about rounds things up from

:56:47.:56:52.

Lausanne but plenty more athletics coming up on the BBC. On Friday

:56:52.:56:56.

eighth of July we are in Paris for the Diamond League. That is on the

:56:56.:57:03.

red button. Then we are in Birmingham on the red button on

:57:03.:57:13.
:57:13.:57:26.

Don't forget tomorrow, further Andy Murray will be playing Rafael

:57:26.:57:30.
