Diamond League - Brussels

:00:51. > :00:57.Welcome to Brussels for the final time in league meeting of the

:00:57. > :01:02.season. What a glorious evening we have for it. What a season it has

:01:02. > :01:12.been, dominated by a fabulous Olympic Games, and in particular,

:01:12. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:53.two enigmatic sprinters from Always great to see them. They are

:01:53. > :01:56.part of a star-studded line-up, 11 Olympic gold-medallists on show

:01:56. > :02:02.here. Denise Lewis and Colin Jackson alongside me. This is the

:02:02. > :02:06.final price for a lot of these athletes. Then that they can go and

:02:06. > :02:12.have some are and are. What is it like, heading towards the final

:02:12. > :02:19.race -- rest and relaxation. There will be a lot of tired legs out

:02:19. > :02:23.there. But there is great incentive for these athletes, whether it is

:02:23. > :02:28.their world record, but for sure, Diamond League is about points and

:02:28. > :02:37.becoming a champion. There is money at stake. There is a lot of money

:02:37. > :02:40.at stake. 40,000 US dollars and the chance to have the wild card into

:02:40. > :02:47.the world championships next year. You did all right on this track,

:02:47. > :02:55.didn't you? I ran it sub 13 seconds here at the end of the season. When

:02:55. > :02:59.you are in great shape, you have got to use every opportunity. The

:02:59. > :03:04.conditions are fantastic. You can feel it already, even compared to

:03:04. > :03:09.Switzerland, the weather makes such a difference. We saw David Rudisha

:03:09. > :03:13.going for a world record last week and the weather did not hurt that.

:03:13. > :03:17.Tonight the sprinters are talking about finishing off the season with

:03:17. > :03:22.a fast times. Last year we saw a Yohan Blake do something

:03:22. > :03:29.sensational. The audience are waiting with bated breath.

:03:29. > :03:39.drama is about to unfold. It is the women's 400m hurdles. The first big

:03:39. > :04:12.

:04:12. > :04:18.race of the evening. Let us join Double points for the winner. That

:04:18. > :04:23.will not help Perri Shakes-Drayton. Disappointment that she only made

:04:23. > :04:33.the semi-finals at the Olympics false start outside her, the former

:04:33. > :04:42.

:04:42. > :04:48.world champion. -- the semi-finals at the Olympics. Zuzana Hejnova won

:04:48. > :04:53.the bronze medal at the Games. Elodie Ouedraogo has said she might

:04:53. > :05:01.retire here. She is from Belgium. She receives a very nice round of

:05:01. > :05:07.applause from a huge crowd here, 50,000 people. A great stadium.

:05:07. > :05:12.Vera Barbosa of Portugal is in lane eight. We have nine lanes here in

:05:12. > :05:18.Brussels. They are all being used in most of the events. This is

:05:18. > :05:27.Elodie Ouedraogo of Jamaica. Another one of the big talents

:05:27. > :05:37.Foster we are told -- big talents. We are told that one of the

:05:37. > :05:41.

:05:41. > :05:45.athletes has had to switch lanes. Even if Kaliese Spencer were to

:05:45. > :05:49.trip up, she would still be the Diamond League champion. It will be

:05:49. > :05:59.interesting to see what Perri Shakes-Drayton can do here. In

:05:59. > :05:59.

:05:59. > :06:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds

:06:48. > :06:58.Lausanne, she ran well and was not always the best in terms of

:06:58. > :06:58.

:06:58. > :07:08.technique, but she is looking good. The last hurdle was terrible for

:07:08. > :07:12.Zuzana Hejnova. That was not far off the meeting record. It was not

:07:12. > :07:17.one of Kaliese Spencer's best races of the year. Perri Shakes-Drayton

:07:17. > :07:22.look like she had a chance but she was pretty tired. She went very

:07:22. > :07:26.hard for through the first 200m. She is showing consistency now.

:07:26. > :07:29.Despite the disappointment of the Olympic Games, I think as she moves

:07:29. > :07:37.forward into next year, she will be happy with the way she has finished

:07:37. > :07:47.off the season. Another sub 54 time for the London gold, having to

:07:47. > :07:50.

:07:50. > :07:56.settle for second place. -- the Londoner. Perri Shakes-Drayton can

:07:56. > :08:03.be pleased with that. She finished in third place in Lausanne false

:08:03. > :08:08.start she ran 53.89 here. She was level with Kaliese Spencer coming

:08:08. > :08:13.off hurdle No. 8. It was only the last two hurdles where Kaliese

:08:13. > :08:16.Spencer managed to get ahead and put a couple of metres between hat

:08:16. > :08:21.and Perri Shakes-Drayton. What a moment, Perri Shakes-Drayton look

:08:21. > :08:26.like she might come back but she lost the momentum of the last

:08:26. > :08:29.hurdle. Totally relaxed, totally focused. She may have been

:08:29. > :08:36.disappointed with her performance in the Olympic Games, but believe

:08:36. > :08:46.me, this woman has got talent, she really has. She can go faster.

:08:46. > :08:53.

:08:53. > :08:58.Another a good run by Perri Shakes- warmed the crowd up. Perri Shakes-

:08:58. > :09:04.Drayton with a good performance, second place. I am sure she will be

:09:04. > :09:08.pretty pleased with that one. She is literally catching her

:09:08. > :09:14.breath. That is her third fastest time of the season. Pleased with

:09:14. > :09:18.that? Very pleased. I wanted to end on a high. Without sounding too

:09:18. > :09:22.greedy, I would have liked to have done a personal best but I have

:09:22. > :09:27.already done one this year so I should be happy. Finishing second

:09:27. > :09:31.at the diamond lead, it's the first time ever I have actually continued

:09:31. > :09:37.a competition before a major championship -- at the diamond lead.

:09:37. > :09:42.Another progression for me again. What does it mean for you, taking

:09:42. > :09:46.this into the winter break, giving you an added bit of impetus for

:09:46. > :09:51.what is a hard few months ahead? No one looks forward to winter

:09:51. > :09:57.training. But I have finished injury-free, I feel good. I am

:09:57. > :10:01.looking forward to the winter training, indoors. I know I have

:10:01. > :10:06.still got it in the fast but I did not do as well as I wanted at the

:10:06. > :10:11.Olympics, so I am even more hungry than I have ever been before.

:10:11. > :10:17.some time off, if you can. Thank you very much. That was a great

:10:17. > :10:22.start to the evening. Plenty more to come. Is there a bigger name in

:10:22. > :10:30.world sport, never mind athletics? It is your last chance to see Usain

:10:30. > :10:36.Bolt this season. He will then home to Jamaica after that far sun well

:10:36. > :10:46.and relaxation. Yohan Blake will also run his thigh not the 200m. He

:10:46. > :10:47.

:10:47. > :10:53.loves this track -- his final 200m. What a year it has been for Aries

:10:53. > :10:58.Merritt. A world record might be on the cards. There is a great women's

:10:58. > :11:06.800m with world and Olympic champion going over two laps and a

:11:06. > :11:14.strong field tonight. There was so much hope for Holly Bleasdale in

:11:14. > :11:24.London, but she did not have the bid vault here. can she and her

:11:24. > :11:27.

:11:27. > :11:32.season on a high? A busy night for you. At 7:25pm, there will be Aries

:11:32. > :11:40.Merritt in the hurdles. Also, Great Britain's Lawrence Clarke will be

:11:40. > :11:48.in it. At around 7:30pm, the 800m. Two British women featuring there.

:11:48. > :11:58.At around 7:45pm, there will be the 100m and 200m. Usain Bolt going in

:11:58. > :12:07.the 100m whip other Jamaicans. Yohan Blake will be in the 200m. At

:12:07. > :12:15.around 80 5:00pm, the men's 400m with the Belgium twins here. Martyn

:12:15. > :12:19.Rooney running for Great Britain, silver medallist from London. Let

:12:19. > :12:23.us just reflect on Perri Shakes- Drayton. We were talking before on

:12:23. > :12:27.what it means to take a good performance into your winter

:12:27. > :12:32.training. To hear her say she is hungry and cannot wait for it. How

:12:33. > :12:39.refreshing is that? It is brilliant. She has so much potential. She has

:12:39. > :12:43.shown us a glimpse of what she is capable of doing. 53.77. Backing

:12:43. > :12:49.that up again with another sub 50 time tonight. This goal, if she

:12:49. > :12:54.could tidy up her hurdling a bit more, she is going to run low of

:12:54. > :12:58.53s without a shadow of a doubt. agree with that. She also said she

:12:58. > :13:03.is working on things like this. Because she had this desire to do

:13:03. > :13:07.well, that is what will make her work harder. What do you think the

:13:07. > :13:12.main aim will be this win to? The technique over the hurdles? That is

:13:12. > :13:17.where she will work? -- this winter? Consistency is the most

:13:17. > :13:21.important thing. Working on the stride pattern. That is when she

:13:21. > :13:25.will really take off. Had she not had a little injury to her

:13:25. > :13:32.hamstring, she would have been better. A lot to work on. Speed,

:13:32. > :13:38.endurance, she could really fly. is time for the men's 1500m. They

:13:39. > :13:44.really strong field. We have gold, silver and bronze in the line-up.

:13:44. > :13:51.Steve Cram is saying that he can run -- Steve Cram, he is saying

:13:51. > :13:55.that he can run 3.28. You ran fast times as well, didn't you?

:13:55. > :14:02.COMMENTATOR: he is certainly capable of going fast and he will

:14:02. > :14:06.be chased, maybe not by Asbel Kiprop, he has had an injury and

:14:06. > :14:10.was not in the medals in the Olympic Games. The Kenyans thought

:14:10. > :14:20.they could win one, two, three heading into the Olympic Games, but

:14:20. > :14:30.

:14:30. > :14:40.it was not the pace. They were dominated. This will be different

:14:40. > :14:41.

:14:41. > :14:49.tonight. As for a fast pace, it will be quick. 3.28. I am sure...

:14:49. > :14:59.They will be looking at the last great Algerian record, the best

:14:59. > :15:20.

:15:20. > :15:29.went a bit crazy on the first lap last time. Let's hope they get it

:15:29. > :15:35.right tonight. Matthew Centrowitz is in third, the youngster from the

:15:35. > :15:44.USA at the moment. You just got a glimpse of the fastest man in the

:15:44. > :15:54.world in 2012, Asbel Kiprop. Peers not -- he is not with Taoufik

:15:54. > :15:54.

:15:54. > :15:58.Makhloufi at the moment. Kiprop is in 7th arete place in the light

:15:58. > :16:08.blue and orange fest at the moment. Taoufik Makhloufi looks like he

:16:08. > :16:12.

:16:12. > :16:19.means business. Much more sensible pacemaking at the moment. It is at

:16:19. > :16:26.de Taoufik Makhloufi, he has got to decide whether or not to commit

:16:26. > :16:32.himself after about 1,000 metres also. Chepseba is right there.

:16:32. > :16:38.Kiprop is hanging in there at the moment. He is moving up a couple of

:16:38. > :16:45.places. That is good to see. A hamstring problem since the Olympic

:16:45. > :16:49.Games has troubled him. They are approaching 800 metres. The time is

:16:49. > :16:57.pretty good. It is up to Taoufik Makhloufi now. The rhythm is

:16:57. > :17:07.slowing, you can tell. The rest of the field are starting to gather.

:17:07. > :17:10.

:17:10. > :17:20.Gebremedhin is looking strong. He is moving up. The pacemaking was

:17:20. > :17:27.

:17:27. > :17:33.or 9th place at the moment. They are coming up to the bell now.

:17:34. > :17:43.Taoufik Makhloufi is ready to strike. Chepseba has got past. They

:17:43. > :17:48.were rather slow at the bail. -- at the Bell. Chepseba is striking for

:17:48. > :17:54.home. Gebremedhin is behind him. This is the part where Taoufik

:17:54. > :18:00.Makhloufi has been so impressive. Look how relaxed he is. Kiprop is

:18:00. > :18:10.moving up on the outside. Will he be able to get his Olympic revenge?

:18:10. > :18:13.

:18:13. > :18:17.Gebremedhin is finding a bit extra. Kiprop is fading. Can he kick hard?

:18:17. > :18:23.Gebremedhin and Centrowitz are looking for some room. Look at this.

:18:23. > :18:33.Gebremedhin kicking hard. He will lose there. It is very tight on the

:18:33. > :18:41.line. The time, not as quick as we would have liked. Kiplagat, as ever,

:18:41. > :18:45.so, so strong. Taoufik Makhloufi, just, for once, not having that

:18:45. > :18:50.strength and pace at the end. Just like in Monaco a couple of years

:18:50. > :18:54.ago, he is there to pick them off. I thought Kiprop might have had it

:18:54. > :19:03.down the back straight. He was looking good. From about five

:19:03. > :19:07.places back, it was Kiplagat once more. So many of these men came to

:19:07. > :19:11.the Olympic Games, Kiprop was another, Gebremedhin was another,

:19:12. > :19:19.if it was this sort of race, you know it would be good but you do

:19:19. > :19:22.not get this at the Olympic Games, you do not get the fast paces. They

:19:22. > :19:32.realise when they get the games they have got to be able to run in

:19:32. > :19:33.

:19:33. > :19:37.the slow, tactical races. Taoufik Makhloufi's last 200 metres were a

:19:38. > :19:41.paltry 29.2. Normally with it -- expecting these guys to get closer

:19:41. > :19:46.to 24 seconds. I must admit, I thought Kiprop would come through

:19:46. > :19:52.but at the last minute, Silas Kiplagat ran one of the best races

:19:52. > :19:58.of his season. A lot of tired men in that race.

:19:58. > :20:03.Earlier on this evening, one of the all-time greats at discus throwing

:20:03. > :20:09.step into the discus circle in the competition for the very last time.

:20:09. > :20:16.He has won two Olympic titles, two world titles in the past, he is the

:20:16. > :20:21.second longest throw our of all time. As far as his first round

:20:22. > :20:27.throw was concerned, it stood the test. Looked young British try and

:20:27. > :20:32.Lawrence Okoye stepped up for his second throw. -- be young British

:20:32. > :20:39.giant Lawrence Okoye stepped up. He is still learning this event. He

:20:39. > :20:44.really got hold of it. Just shy of the 65 metre line. For the time

:20:44. > :20:53.being he was in 4th place. It was turning out to be a very high-class

:20:53. > :21:03.competition indeed. He is looking very relaxed. He has tremendous

:21:03. > :21:16.

:21:16. > :21:23.potential. Canter's season has been Olympic Games. He said that one out

:21:23. > :21:28.at well over 66 metres. He has come to life after the Olympic Games. He

:21:28. > :21:38.was second in the permanent Diamond League and he won in Lausanne. He

:21:38. > :21:38.

:21:38. > :21:48.kept the crowd entertained. -- he was second in the Birmingham

:21:48. > :21:53.

:21:53. > :21:59.Afterwards and a press conference he said, well, I finished in third

:21:59. > :22:04.place but that is not a bad effort for an old man. He is not that old

:22:04. > :22:09.but he is 40 years old, a real veteran in every sense. One of the

:22:09. > :22:19.all-time greats and certainly he entertained the crowd here today.

:22:19. > :22:35.

:22:35. > :22:41.Let's have a look at the overall future in the sport. We will hear

:22:41. > :22:46.from him later on. Coming up soon is the men's 110 metres hurdles.

:22:46. > :22:54.Aires Merritt is the gold medallist from London. He is closing in on a

:22:54. > :23:04.world record here tonight. Steve Cram caught up with him yesterday.

:23:04. > :23:08.

:23:08. > :23:13.Gold for merit, 12.94. Once again I knew I had to make some changes

:23:13. > :23:17.in order to be great and I was not expecting the change to blow me up

:23:17. > :23:22.the way it has so I am pretty excited with everything over the

:23:22. > :23:32.last couple of months. Do you think the 110 metre hurdles is an event

:23:32. > :23:36.you have to be patient with? Yes, I think so. As Alan Johnson proved,

:23:36. > :23:40.you can the 35, and still second. It is a question of getting your

:23:40. > :23:47.rhythm down. I think my technique has come a long way and I think I

:23:47. > :23:51.have finally coming to myself as a hurdler. My dream Korea was pretty

:23:51. > :23:55.good. I was world junior champion and I took a few years to find

:23:55. > :24:00.myself and I finally have. The last one of the year, what can we

:24:01. > :24:06.expect? Hopefully I will run another sub 13. I will have been

:24:06. > :24:12.the first person in history to have run eight in this season. I'm

:24:12. > :24:17.focusing on executing my race. There is nothing in your head which

:24:17. > :24:22.says, it would be nice to go sub 12? It would be nice but you never

:24:22. > :24:27.know. Conditions play a factor. I know this track is fast. Who knows

:24:27. > :24:31.what the wind will be like, who knows what weather will be like

:24:31. > :24:41.because it is forever changing. All I can do is put my best foot

:24:41. > :24:51.forward and hope it will be under I would not bet against it. He has

:24:51. > :25:08.

:25:08. > :25:16.really run well this year. He makes to have got the lane next Aires

:25:16. > :25:21.Merritt. He has been running well and was 4th in the Olympic final.

:25:21. > :25:31.What a performance from the youngster, just 20 years old. This

:25:31. > :25:40.is about a rematch between Aires Merritt and Jason Richardson. The

:25:40. > :25:46.two arch-rivals. Richardson won in Zagreb a couple of days ago. Aires

:25:46. > :25:50.Merritt runs under 13 seconds on a regular basis. Everybody in the

:25:50. > :26:00.stadium is just standing up, waiting to get a glimpse. This

:26:00. > :26:13.

:26:13. > :26:20.He is tearing away here. This could be very quick indeed. Oh, my

:26:20. > :26:25.goodness! 12.81. We said it would be quick, we did not realise it

:26:25. > :26:32.would be that quick. It is a new world record! What a way to finish

:26:32. > :26:36.the season. It is not all about Bolt and Blake, you know. Aires

:26:36. > :26:46.Merritt has just emerged as the fastest 110 metre hurdler of all

:26:46. > :26:47.

:26:47. > :26:52.time. A slight following wind, just a slight following wind, 0.3 metres

:26:52. > :26:57.a second. Colin Jackson cannot wait to say something about this fellow.

:26:57. > :27:03.You know, Paul, I was jumping out of my seat because I knew from the

:27:03. > :27:08.way he got out of the blocks he meant business. He was in a class

:27:08. > :27:12.field and he made it look so effortless indeed. It is so rare

:27:12. > :27:19.summer has the opportunity to win the Olympic title and then go on to

:27:19. > :27:28.break the world record. He drives very hard with his seven stride

:27:28. > :27:33.approach. He makes it look so, so comfortable. By hurdle and five he

:27:33. > :27:37.was edging away from the field. He knew he was on for a good quick

:27:37. > :27:43.time. It was now or never, he dipped for the line and I bet when

:27:43. > :27:53.he glanced across and he saw that time of 12.81, he could not believe

:27:53. > :27:57.it. They have rounded it down now to 12.80, fantastic indeed!

:27:57. > :28:01.Lawrence Clarke did not have his best race of the season but I am

:28:01. > :28:07.sure he will have learnt from the experience of running with the

:28:07. > :28:11.fastest man in history. What a season it has been. Olympic

:28:11. > :28:15.champion and since then, there has just been a suggestion that he

:28:15. > :28:21.could run this time if conditions were good and they do not get a lot

:28:21. > :28:27.better than they are here tonight. We expected it in Lausanne but

:28:27. > :28:33.unfortunately he had a false start. He has come here rested, ready,

:28:33. > :28:37.aggressive, known what he could do and that last delivering that. Here,

:28:37. > :28:43.in the Diamond League, Aires Merritt becomes the fastest high

:28:43. > :28:53.hurdler in history. A phenomenal, phenomenal performance, 12.80

:28:53. > :28:53.

:28:53. > :28:58.seconds. I'm sure the news will get back to Cuba very quickly and

:28:58. > :29:08.Dayron Robles as well be wondering what he has to do to beat the

:29:08. > :29:13.Lawrence Clarke has joined me in the studio. To see somebody get a

:29:13. > :29:16.world record and smash it in the wake Aires did there. I came here

:29:16. > :29:21.deliberately to run in a world record race. He said all season he

:29:21. > :29:26.would do it. The last race I ran him had a head wind in Birmingham.

:29:27. > :29:31.I was in the lane next to him, I was watching him! I probably did

:29:31. > :29:36.not have the right attitude. He should not be able to take that

:29:36. > :29:40.much of the world record. Post Olympics he has been getting

:29:40. > :29:45.quicker. You had an amazing Olympic Games and finishing your season in

:29:45. > :29:49.a race like that, summit up for us. This season has been loads of

:29:49. > :29:53.surprises. I never expected to make the Olympic semi-final, never mind

:29:53. > :29:58.the final and I never expected to be in a world record race. These

:29:58. > :30:03.guys are my heroes. They are pushing the boundaries so far.

:30:03. > :30:07.have you learned from this season? I have learnt it is consistency.

:30:07. > :30:13.Aires Merritt has proved that. He has run told 0.9 every race and

:30:13. > :30:17.then he goes and drops the world record. I was 4th in the Olympic

:30:17. > :30:21.Games, admittedly a long way behind him. Although sessions which are

:30:21. > :30:25.coming up for you this winter, you will think about that. I have never

:30:25. > :30:30.thought about someone in my race before and I was just watching him,

:30:30. > :30:34.I completely forgot I was running. I could tell how quick he was. It

:30:34. > :30:38.was unbelievable. Let's bring in a man who held the world record for

:30:38. > :30:43.13 years, our very own Colin Jackson. Does it send tingles down

:30:43. > :30:47.your spine watching that? It was so sensational to see. You know when

:30:47. > :30:51.you have done that event yourself and he makes it look so effortless,

:30:51. > :30:54.it is great to see you. There are very few things I could pull apart.

:30:55. > :30:59.Even when you break a world record, you are looking for something you

:30:59. > :31:09.can improve on to get a better performance but that was just sheer

:31:09. > :31:10.

:31:10. > :31:14.We are all coming to terms with what we have just seen. We have

:31:14. > :31:19.said that he is running quick and getting better and looking like he

:31:19. > :31:23.is relaxed. What timing to do it on your last race of the season.

:31:23. > :31:27.Athletes know, when you are in that kind of shape and you have proved

:31:27. > :31:33.yourself to be so consistent, you know you have got a quick time in

:31:33. > :31:37.your legs. He wanted the world record. That was an incredible race.

:31:37. > :31:43.The determination on his face when he drove off the last hurdle, look

:31:43. > :31:47.at that, he knew it was in sight. Fantastic. In the interview, he

:31:48. > :31:52.said he had worked really hard on his technique and he knew that he

:31:52. > :31:59.was coming into this having honed his performance. It just goes to

:31:59. > :32:03.show what you can do. He has worked at his event. Absolutely. Athletes

:32:04. > :32:08.know they are in shape. It does not happen very often in your life that

:32:08. > :32:13.you know you are in that shape injury free. Aries Merritt,

:32:13. > :32:17.outstanding. The boys spotted by his high school gym teacher leaping

:32:17. > :32:22.over a fence. Just shows, you talent can be hidden but eventually

:32:22. > :32:32.it will out and you can have glory like this man is achieving right

:32:32. > :32:38.

:32:38. > :32:44.the world record for a long time. Jason one Richardson ran a very

:32:44. > :32:54.quick time as well. A new African and continental record as well.

:32:54. > :33:07.

:33:07. > :33:16.Lawrence Clarke in 9th place. A Brussels. Much more to come of

:33:16. > :33:26.course. Still Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake. An intriguing 800m here. The

:33:26. > :33:36.chance to win the diamond race here for Pamela Jelimo. Mariya Savinova

:33:36. > :33:41.is the only one who can pass Pamela Jelimo here. Eight. Spot a win

:33:41. > :33:51.tonight. -- 8 points for a win tonight. Expecting something pretty

:33:51. > :33:55.quick. The other athletes will be hoping to pick up and -- and end of

:33:55. > :34:05.season fast time. Jemma Simpson and Lynsey Sharp will be competing for

:34:05. > :34:12.Great Britain. Watch out for the young Francine Niyonsaba. A big

:34:12. > :34:20.talent. She is on the outside. It has been a troubled year for Jemma

:34:20. > :34:25.Simpson. She did not make the team. Controversy over the selection of

:34:25. > :34:32.Lynsey Sharp. Jemma Simpson will admit she has not done herself

:34:32. > :34:41.justice this year. Brenda Martinez and Anna Pierce, the two Americans,

:34:41. > :34:47.will shared lane three. -- will share lane three. Lynsey Sharp went

:34:47. > :34:57.to the Olympics and has struggled to move on since then. She has been

:34:57. > :34:57.

:34:57. > :35:06.running around the 2.1 mark. Halima Hachlaf of Morocco. She had a good

:35:06. > :35:10.year last year but has not matched it this year. Maryna Arzamasava

:35:10. > :35:19.will be pacemaking today. Lynsey Sharp Pasteur in the European Fine

:35:19. > :35:27.not in the home straight. Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi. She is still

:35:27. > :35:32.a bit of a raw talent. The other night in Berlin, she chased down

:35:32. > :35:36.Pamela Jelimo who was only a tenth of a second behind her. Mariya

:35:36. > :35:43.Savinova will be watching her as well, the Olympic, world and

:35:43. > :35:49.European champion. They have asked for a pretty fast pace from the

:35:49. > :35:59.Russian. Pamela Jelimo, we have been told she has asked for around

:35:59. > :36:21.

:36:21. > :36:31.56.5. She wants her to do it fairly the former Olympic champion part in

:36:31. > :36:48.

:36:48. > :36:52.this intriguing 800m. Pamela Jelimo as I said. I was talking to Jemma

:36:52. > :36:57.Simpson last night and I said that Pamela Jelimo did would not go with

:36:57. > :37:02.the pace. Why would she? It has been suggested that she wanted this

:37:02. > :37:10.place. I was never convinced about that. She only has to finish in the

:37:10. > :37:15.top two to win the big prize. The pacemaker has gone away.

:37:15. > :37:22.As you said, an intriguing encounter. There is Pamela Jemma

:37:22. > :37:26.Lowe together with Mariya Savinova or in third and 4th place at the

:37:26. > :37:32.moment. Thinking back to Lausanne went Pamela Jelimo waited and

:37:32. > :37:42.waited and did not go off quickly at all. When she really out kicked

:37:42. > :37:42.

:37:42. > :38:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds

:38:24. > :38:28.Francine Niyonsaba against Mariya towards the back. When she started

:38:28. > :38:33.this year, she did not even know which lane to run in and she did

:38:34. > :38:39.not know how to race. I think it was in Monaco, she was all over the

:38:40. > :38:42.shop. But she is getting better and better. Pamela Jelimo wins the

:38:42. > :38:49.Diamond League race but I think we have seen the emergence of a big

:38:49. > :38:55.new talent in the 800m. They will have to be very careful about this

:38:55. > :39:00.lady next year. Still only 19. A big win for her. It certainly was.

:39:00. > :39:07.A massive advance in terms of her personal best and national record.

:39:07. > :39:13.Second fastest time in the world this year by some margin. Pamela

:39:13. > :39:16.Jelimo or find themselves lower down the rankings. Compared to

:39:16. > :39:23.Francine Niyonsaba. What a race. You could have been forgiven for

:39:23. > :39:28.thinking that Pamela Jelimo would have come back. The but look at the

:39:28. > :39:32.8th grit and determination of the young Burundi athlete. She is still

:39:32. > :39:40.a teenager and she is a great talent. I look forward to watching

:39:40. > :39:46.her over the next couple of years - - look at the grit and

:39:46. > :39:52.determination. Terrific time as well. Very strong. When she gets

:39:52. > :39:57.better and works on her technique and so on, a big future ahead. A

:39:57. > :40:07.new national record. Seconds faster us in the world this year. --

:40:07. > :40:10.

:40:10. > :40:15.The atmosphere! Ever since the world record, it has gone up a

:40:15. > :40:25.notch. The crowd are still buzzing after Aries Merritt who is right

:40:25. > :40:28.

:40:28. > :40:34.here. Congratulates since. Amazing. I get a case! -- eight Kiss. I was

:40:34. > :40:38.focused on running under the 13th. That was all I was focused on to

:40:38. > :40:43.cap off a really good season. I obliterated it. I cannot believe

:40:43. > :40:50.that I just run that fast. I am still in shock. When I saw the time,

:40:50. > :40:54.I was like, what?! I am so in shock and so happy that finally I am

:40:54. > :40:58.living up to my potential after all of these years and injuries and

:40:58. > :41:02.hamstring problems and people tell me I should throw in the towel and

:41:02. > :41:07.get a normal job. This season is the first season I have been able

:41:07. > :41:11.to put it together finally. That is it. You have finished the season

:41:12. > :41:17.with the world record. He won Olympic gold and a world record.

:41:17. > :41:23.The greatest season ever! You know I hate seven strides but we will

:41:23. > :41:28.not get into that now. I think he might have prove you wrong! For me,

:41:28. > :41:34.when we always talk and you say, I have done this wrong, what made the

:41:34. > :41:38.difference today? Was it the perfect race? I have no remembrance

:41:38. > :41:44.of the race but I think it was almost perfect. I had a good

:41:44. > :41:50.reaction and I just kept going. I was not as high over the hurdles as

:41:50. > :42:00.Birmingham. I was floating in Birmingham. This time I was low.

:42:00. > :42:01.

:42:01. > :42:05.Before, I was so high. Then I ran 12.95 and it was amazing. It was

:42:05. > :42:12.the wind. I thought, if I put it together cleanly, it will be a

:42:12. > :42:15.world record. One thing left. Will you get the world indoor record?

:42:15. > :42:23.have no idea. That is ridiculous false start I would have to get the

:42:23. > :42:27.start of my life and run the race of my life. And 12.8 isn't?! I will

:42:27. > :42:32.let these two chat a bit longer. We never tired of hearing the great

:42:32. > :42:36.wine Usain Bolt. He has provided us with so much fantastic

:42:36. > :42:46.entertainment -- the great man it Usain Bolt. Yesterday was his last

:42:46. > :42:58.

:42:58. > :43:04.press conference of the season. I do not think it is necessary to

:43:04. > :43:11.prove anything at the end of the season. We have already gone to the

:43:11. > :43:16.Olympics and faced each other once. For me, you do not need to run

:43:16. > :43:21.together all the time. You play the rivalry down if you always compete

:43:21. > :43:25.against each other. I think top athletes should compete maybe three

:43:25. > :43:30.times a season maximum because if you are always competing people get

:43:30. > :43:40.bored and they will know who will win. If you give it time, long

:43:40. > :43:45.

:43:45. > :43:50.periods, then when the clash comes, He makes it look so easy! This is a

:43:50. > :43:55.fast track. I do not think it will be hard running a fast time. My

:43:55. > :44:02.agent has pointed out something. The last two races, I have broken

:44:02. > :44:10.major records. So it would be nice to end... It would be a good end to

:44:10. > :44:20.the season. What has he got left? He looks a little tired, he looked

:44:20. > :44:26.

:44:26. > :44:31.a little tired yesterday at a press more race, one more trip to the

:44:31. > :44:36.wire. He has Kim Collins next to him. He was famously sent home by

:44:36. > :44:46.his team at the Olympic Games. They would not have dared to do that to

:44:46. > :44:49.

:44:49. > :44:54.Usain Bolt! Right in the middle is... Ryan Bailie has had a

:44:54. > :44:59.cracking year. A big, powerful American. He makes a few hearts

:44:59. > :45:08.flutter around the hotels of Europe. Nesta Carter of Jamaica, the man

:45:08. > :45:12.they go to as they lead off in the relay. Nickel Ashmeade, he has

:45:12. > :45:22.picked up a bit of an injury last week. But he is here and that is

:45:22. > :45:31.

:45:31. > :45:40.good to see. Gerald Phiri in lane that is not a point. The crowd here

:45:40. > :45:48.want to see something special. I do not think we are in the country

:45:48. > :45:58.record -- record country. A fast track, slight following breeze,

:45:58. > :46:34.

:46:34. > :46:42.nice and warm, a big crowd. Just best of starts. A bad day at the

:46:42. > :46:52.office and he still does 9.87. It is a win. It is a crowd pleaser. It

:46:52. > :46:53.

:46:53. > :46:57.will not go down on his list of all-time great races. I cannot

:46:57. > :47:01.believe sometimes we look at him and see him run times like that and

:47:02. > :47:08.say, that was not so good. It is still way better than most

:47:08. > :47:13.sprinters can never dream of. Really slow out of the blocks.

:47:13. > :47:20.Colin will pick up on this. He almost stood up and then started

:47:20. > :47:26.running. I bet they were worried a little bit, the crowd. There was

:47:26. > :47:34.not a huge roar and hilly got into the last 30 or 40. It is good that

:47:34. > :47:42.he is here. He is the biggest star of the sport. He is such an

:47:43. > :47:49.important part of these meats. What did you make of all of that? He was

:47:49. > :47:59.rotten out of the blocks. I will happily go out and tell him. A

:47:59. > :48:03.

:48:03. > :48:11.dreadful start. Apps Lilia precious. -- absolutely atrocious. That he

:48:11. > :48:16.ran faster than most country's national record. That was job done

:48:16. > :48:23.for this season. He has had a phenomenal year. He set himself a

:48:23. > :48:27.tough task. He tried to win three gold medals up against classy

:48:27. > :48:31.sprinters. He delivered that. He has got to be happy with his whole

:48:31. > :48:36.season. When he sits back as a retired athlete and reflect on his

:48:36. > :48:42.life in this sport, he will say boy, a boy, it was a great time. I

:48:42. > :48:45.thoroughly enjoyed myself, I played to the crowd. They loved it. I

:48:46. > :48:52.enjoyed performing. He always delivered when it counts and that

:48:52. > :49:01.is important. There he is and that is what people

:49:01. > :49:06.come to see. Barefoot. That is not something we often see. Whoever

:49:06. > :49:16.caught those spikes in the crowd, they have got themselves a bargain

:49:16. > :49:22.because some of them were worth Hopefully they will auction them

:49:22. > :49:26.for charity. We were on the plane with him last week. He got a book

:49:26. > :49:33.out and the number of people who came up, took the pictures, without

:49:33. > :49:38.even saying hello to him. Rethink about the energy-sapping experience

:49:38. > :49:43.he has, people want a piece of him all the time. I saw how good he was

:49:43. > :49:49.at being famous. That is a tough thing. And it is the world over. It

:49:49. > :49:54.does not matter where in the world, he is just laughed. There is a

:49:54. > :50:01.celebration every time he comes to town. He is like, I am tired,

:50:01. > :50:05.everyone is tired but I am still going to win. He also had the

:50:05. > :50:13.world's biggest Tobermory own I have ever seen. He will be munching

:50:13. > :50:17.on that back to Jamaica. His friend and team-mate Yohan Blake has had a

:50:17. > :50:21.real season to remember. He has been living in Usain Bolt's shadow

:50:21. > :50:31.but he has stepped out of it this season. Steve Cram caught up with

:50:31. > :50:40.

:50:40. > :50:50.I am just getting started. I have trained for this. I have worked

:50:50. > :50:51.

:50:52. > :51:00.really hard for this moment. When we work we do not just work for the

:51:00. > :51:09.first tier of the season, we work for love it. Yohan Blake,

:51:09. > :51:15.absolutely sensational! I just think I was just having fun with no

:51:15. > :51:18.expectation, go there and do whatever I have to do. You talk

:51:18. > :51:28.about surprises and I know you will probably not give me a definitive

:51:28. > :51:35.answer but what sort of race are you expecting? I want the people do

:51:35. > :51:41.have a good time. I will show them what I can do. I like to raise

:51:41. > :51:47.eyebrows and that is what I want to keep on doing.

:51:47. > :51:51.He is the other one we have got our eye on for world records. He ran

:51:51. > :51:59.19.26 here last year and he is feted. They love him here for that.

:51:59. > :52:07.He was out and about visiting local school children. Can he go quicker?

:52:07. > :52:12.I think so. I really believe so. He is very popular. He probably has

:52:12. > :52:17.more chance of playing for the local team here than Bolt house for

:52:17. > :52:23.Manchester United! I was here last year. I could not believe the time

:52:23. > :52:33.that he ran. I thought the clock had malfunctioned. But it was that

:52:33. > :52:47.

:52:47. > :52:57.quick. I think he can rant that Darvis Patton is inside in on lane

:52:57. > :53:04.

:53:04. > :53:12.eight. In lane at seven, Yohan and how quick can he go. Christophe

:53:12. > :53:17.Lemaitre, the French man, who is the best in Europe. Inevitably, he

:53:17. > :53:21.always gets overlooked by the strength of the Jamaicans. Another

:53:21. > :53:27.youngster, Warren Weir, who came through in the Olympic Games. He is

:53:27. > :53:34.a big Chelsea fan incidentally. He got a Chelsea shirt the other day.

:53:34. > :53:39.Calesio Newman of the United States in lane four. We were expecting to

:53:39. > :53:46.see Christian Malcolm in this race but he is a late withdrawal. There

:53:46. > :53:56.are two empty lanes on the inside. Harry has been in his best form

:53:56. > :53:58.

:53:58. > :54:05.this season. It is all about this man, how quick can Blake go? The

:54:05. > :54:13.world record is 19.19. Lake, the second fastest ever, 19.26. Last

:54:13. > :54:17.year, even Bolt was taken aback by how quick his training partner went.

:54:17. > :54:27.Don't forget, Blake has run faster for the 100 metres this year

:54:27. > :55:03.

:55:04. > :55:11.leading into this event than had Yohan Blake. It was fast but not

:55:11. > :55:19.acquit, 19.54. -- it was fast but not that quick. You can breathe a

:55:19. > :55:26.sigh of relief, Usain, he is not ready yet but one day, I am sure.

:55:26. > :55:31.It was not the fireworks of last year. I think maybe he might have

:55:31. > :55:37.overcooked the bend a little bit. Maybe he ran out of steam in the

:55:37. > :55:42.home straight. It was a good performance. As I said about Bolt,

:55:42. > :55:47.the sort of times most sprinters would only dream of. Only himself

:55:47. > :55:53.and Bolt have gone quicker than that this year. Nonetheless, there

:55:53. > :55:56.was a lot of talk around from his camp about how quickly he could go.

:55:56. > :56:04.I'm sure there will be a tinge of disappointment from him but that

:56:04. > :56:11.time was pretty good. It's certainly was. A man in second

:56:11. > :56:21.place was miles behind. You have got to say his bend running is

:56:21. > :56:31.getting better and better. We are going back to the high jump for a

:56:31. > :56:41.real Belgian favourite here. She is the former Olympic champion. This

:56:41. > :56:55.

:56:55. > :56:59.She is a massive heroic here in Belgium. The Borlee twins are

:56:59. > :57:05.coming up since they expect to the volume to increase even more. Let's

:57:05. > :57:09.talk that the 200 metres, did he overcook the bend? Last year, he

:57:09. > :57:14.literally coasted round the bend and then he went into overdrive

:57:14. > :57:18.down the home straight. This race was completely different, the

:57:18. > :57:22.reverse. He was still quite naive last year over this distance. He

:57:22. > :57:26.still produced a fantastic performance. He still has to learn

:57:26. > :57:31.to run his race more and more and more. Once he nails the real

:57:31. > :57:39.technique of running 200 metres, then boy, dare I say it to Usain

:57:39. > :57:43.Bolt that his 200 metre record days are numbered, I don't know. He may

:57:43. > :57:48.know it is coming that this guy could run a time quicker than his.

:57:48. > :57:52.There was a bit of relief on his face. I think it is nice. A train

:57:52. > :57:57.together, they know what each other's capabilities are. It was

:57:57. > :58:04.quite sweet watching him thinking, do it, but do not one that quick!

:58:04. > :58:10.We were with Michael Bolt -- Michael Johnson when Usain Bolt

:58:10. > :58:15.took his record. He was not happy. Let's look back at the race. A

:58:15. > :58:22.great start. He came out of the blocks really well with

:58:22. > :58:29.determination and grit. This is a class field around him. He

:58:29. > :58:36.absolutely NI Lake's them around the bend. -- he absolutely

:58:36. > :58:43.annihilated them around the bend. He delivered a sensational

:58:43. > :58:53.performance again. I love watching plague. But what has happened to

:58:53. > :58:54.

:58:55. > :59:00.Christophe Lemaitre? -- I love watching Blake. Maybe the fact that

:59:00. > :59:06.Blake has come on so much, he is overlooked. I was hoping that as

:59:06. > :59:11.one of our best European athletes he would find his form again.

:59:11. > :59:16.saw Lawrence Okoye area. He came 5th in the discus. I managed to

:59:16. > :59:22.catch up with him after. Lawrence Okoye has joined us. 5th

:59:22. > :59:26.tonight. Your season is over. I came into some good form so it is

:59:26. > :59:31.a short ending to me but I have got to reflect it has been a successful

:59:31. > :59:35.year for me. I progressed quickly. The future is looking bright for me.

:59:35. > :59:42.The fact I am disappointed with Fifth today shows you how far I

:59:42. > :59:48.have come on. Let's talk about the future. You deferred your place at

:59:48. > :59:53.Oxford, will you de ferret again? Is rugby calling, I hear the NFL is

:59:53. > :59:58.on the radar. There are lots of things going on. I will not get a

:59:58. > :00:02.holiday because I have got to sort my life out. Not many people are

:00:02. > :00:06.the world have as many opportunities as I did. I am very

:00:06. > :00:11.lucky. I will keep going and hopefully make the right decision.

:00:11. > :00:16.Will you give athletics a go? have got to chat to Oxford when I

:00:16. > :00:23.get back. That will dominate my time off, to be honest. I have got

:00:23. > :00:29.to sort that stuff out. athletics is winning at the moment?

:00:29. > :00:34.It is undoubted that if I carry on I could be the best. I would target

:00:34. > :00:39.gold at the World Championships in Moscow next year. I think it is in

:00:39. > :00:44.my grasp. I'm competing with the best guys in the world. Like I said,

:00:44. > :00:47.there are a lot of things going on and a lot of options. I have got to

:00:48. > :00:51.make the right decision. They say it is an older man's sport, you

:00:51. > :01:01.have got loads of time. We will see you in the world championships next

:01:01. > :01:08.

:01:08. > :01:13.shares the record in the long jump with Greg Rutherford. He needs

:01:13. > :01:19.something big in the third round. He needs to go about eight metres

:01:19. > :01:29.and well over if possible. Good conditions for long jumping. Just

:01:29. > :01:34.

:01:34. > :01:44.short of the lead at the moment. The lead is held by the Russian,

:01:44. > :01:45.

:01:45. > :01:52.8.03. But certainly could be an improvement on Chris's best jump so

:01:52. > :02:00.far. 7.9 secs Top Chris Tomlinson. I have been joined by it Usain Bolt.

:02:00. > :02:07.What are you doing?! Just give a us two seconds before you are in party

:02:08. > :02:13.mode. The relief, the season is over. I am happy to have gotten

:02:13. > :02:19.through the season. I wanted to get through injury free. I am happy.

:02:19. > :02:26.Used will ran 9.86. Your start. Let's talk about that -- you still.

:02:27. > :02:32.I said to my coach yesterday, I am so tired. I feel drained. I just

:02:32. > :02:37.went through the motions, pretty much. It was at an OK race. I

:02:37. > :02:42.didn't lose! That was the most important thing. The fans are here

:02:42. > :02:46.to see you get a victory. You set yourself a target of winning the

:02:46. > :02:51.three Olympic gold medals and you did that. To come out time and time

:02:51. > :02:55.again to try to perform sensationally, it must be wearing?

:02:55. > :03:05.Defra Na Li. Do go to the Olympics and pressure staff, it to brain see

:03:05. > :03:10.

:03:11. > :03:17.mentally. -- definitely. Pressure yourself, it drains you mentally.

:03:17. > :03:23.It is par teatime now. You are DJ- ing tonight. -- it is party time

:03:24. > :03:29.now. When you go home, they are going to be baiting you far ages?

:03:29. > :03:34.When I go home, I do not go out. There is not much problem there.

:03:35. > :03:41.Over time, it will calm down. I will be all right. OK. I think you

:03:42. > :03:49.can handle yourself. You can hear the cheers, it is the 400m. Let us

:03:49. > :03:59.get back to the commentary team. COMMENTATOR: this will be a

:03:59. > :04:08.

:04:08. > :04:16.cracking race. Kevin Borlee and Jonathan Borlee. Let us not

:04:16. > :04:20.forget... Kevin Borlee used to be the record holder. Then a Jonathan

:04:20. > :04:30.Borlee broker it. Kevin Borlee finished 5th in the Olympics and

:04:30. > :05:01.

:05:01. > :05:05.the Jonathan Borlee finished 6th. Borlee and Jonathan Borlee. Martyn

:05:05. > :05:15.Rooney is keeping pace with all of them. But has he gone off too

:05:15. > :05:16.

:05:16. > :05:26.quickly? Angelo Taylor is in the perfect place to strike if he has

:05:26. > :05:32.

:05:32. > :05:42.got anything left. Kevin Borlee has the better of everybody. Jonathan

:05:42. > :05:42.

:05:42. > :05:46.Borlee second. What a finish! 44.75. The crowd have gone ballistic. That

:05:46. > :05:55.is as though Belgium have scored the winning goal in a World Cup

:05:56. > :06:05.final, I tell you. Kevin Borlee time it absolutely perfectly.

:06:06. > :06:07.

:06:07. > :06:13.Revenge on his brother. Revenge on a man who won a silver medal, he is

:06:13. > :06:22.only 18 years old. A good result for Boldon athletics there. A great

:06:22. > :06:27.race. The reverse of last year. -- Belgium athletics. Almost the same

:06:27. > :06:33.time as last year. The twins liked to repeat was that I was just

:06:33. > :06:38.looking at last year's result, Oscar Pistorius was third. A great

:06:38. > :06:46.race from the two of them. When they came into the home straight,

:06:46. > :06:54.they were almost five abreast. Lalonde Gordon had won a great race.

:06:54. > :06:57.He was chasing Martyn Rooney go down. I think that helped Lalonde

:06:57. > :07:05.Gordon. Kevin Borlee and Jonathan Borlee with the huge crowd behind

:07:05. > :07:10.them, pumping the arms, rocking and rolling. It was Kevin Borlee who

:07:10. > :07:16.came through. They really good race and a good victory with Lalonde

:07:16. > :07:23.Gordon hanging on for third spot. An added bonus could be that he has

:07:23. > :07:28.beaten Luguelin Santos for the diamond race with that when.

:07:28. > :07:32.quick word about a performance in London today. Jason Smith broke the

:07:32. > :07:42.world record and won a second gold medal in one of the visually

:07:42. > :07:48.

:07:48. > :07:55.impaired events in the Paralympic She does not look her old self, I

:07:55. > :08:00.must admit. She got it at the second attempt. Still in there. She

:08:00. > :08:04.finished equal 6th in the Olympic Games. The best result we have ever

:08:04. > :08:09.had for a woman pole vaulter of. You say it she has not been in

:08:09. > :08:15.great form. That was the best she managed. Not a great night far have.

:08:15. > :08:25.She looked out of sorts event at 4.15. I cannot quite put my finger

:08:25. > :08:32.

:08:33. > :08:37.on it but it has been a poor end of the moment in the long jump final.

:08:37. > :08:43.He needed something special there to get maximum points. He finished

:08:43. > :08:49.11th in the Olympic Games. That is long! That is an absolutely

:08:49. > :08:55.cracking jump. Chris Tomlinson in the background. He will finish no

:08:55. > :08:58.higher than 4th. He could not improve on his 7.96 in the 4th

:08:59. > :09:08.round. But for the Russian has flown out to an extraordinary

:09:09. > :09:12.

:09:12. > :09:19.distance there. Road Rutherford was supposed to be competing here but

:09:19. > :09:28.he had an injury -- Greg Rutherford. It is a lifetime best for the

:09:28. > :09:34.Russians. That is certainly good enough for first place. Kevin

:09:34. > :09:38.Borlee and Jonathan Borlee dominated the 400 metres. Lalonde

:09:38. > :09:45.Gordon beat Luguelin Santos. Martyn Rooney finished in 5th place so not

:09:45. > :09:55.a bad end to the season for him. Kevin Borlee is ahead of Luguelin

:09:55. > :10:05.

:10:05. > :10:10.Santos in the diamond race. The big Paula Radcliffe is here. She has

:10:10. > :10:15.crutches. We all know and we devastated for you when you had to

:10:15. > :10:20.pull out of the Olympic Games. What happened next? First of all, it was

:10:20. > :10:24.finding out what my options were her. Some people told me before the

:10:24. > :10:29.Olympics I would not be able to run ever again. I did not want to

:10:29. > :10:35.accept that. I met with different people and got different stance and

:10:35. > :10:39.neck with a surgeon who had done it surgery on my other for it in 2009

:10:39. > :10:45.and that went well. He said, I think we can do something. I had

:10:45. > :10:52.surgery two weeks ago in California. He was able to remove a lot of the

:10:52. > :10:58.debris and bone... The EU put a picture on Twitter. Anybody who saw

:10:58. > :11:03.it knows that it was pretty gruesome -- you put a picture on

:11:03. > :11:09.Twitter. How quickly will you be back running? It in going to be a

:11:09. > :11:13.long and tedious road back. Hopefully a positive outcome. I

:11:13. > :11:16.have got another two-and-a-half weeks on crutches. Pins are holding

:11:16. > :11:22.the Bonaparte of the cartilage repairs. The prince will come out

:11:22. > :11:28.and there will be another month in a boot -- the pins. Then I will

:11:28. > :11:34.start back with some training. By December, I will be running. So,

:11:35. > :11:39.London? That is in my mind but... We will have to see. I will have to

:11:39. > :11:44.take it steadily. I am very grateful I will get a chance to run

:11:44. > :11:48.again because that is important for me aside from competitions. I do

:11:49. > :11:54.not want to finish with what happened in the Olympics, on a down.

:11:54. > :12:03.We miss you massively. Did you watch and enjoy it or was it

:12:03. > :12:08.bittersweet? It was great. I was glad I had the courage to go to

:12:08. > :12:11.London and be there because it was hard watching my race especially

:12:11. > :12:15.and not being able to take part and seeing how great the atmosphere was

:12:15. > :12:24.at wanting to be a part of that. But I was very proud to be British

:12:24. > :12:29.because I think we did an amazing job. From the especially to see Mo

:12:29. > :12:39.Farah do so well... What were you highlights? The Mo Farah is

:12:39. > :12:43.

:12:43. > :12:49.definitely might -- Meyer highlight. To see him deliver and get the 5000

:12:49. > :12:54.metres, that was really special. I have seen her mature. What a lot of

:12:54. > :12:59.people did not mention at the time that the track was supposed to beat

:12:59. > :13:03.what sprinters. For a distance athlete to do what he did is

:13:03. > :13:07.ordinarily remarkable but under the conditions and with that track...

:13:07. > :13:12.Absolute you. That track, I am not sure of the specifics, but the

:13:12. > :13:17.concrete layer underneath is close to the top for the sprinters. That

:13:17. > :13:26.makes it hard on the distance runners legs. Coming out of the

:13:26. > :13:30.Olympic Games, Mo Farah one had run so many laps of the track. It was

:13:31. > :13:36.amazing. I a saw him mentioning the marathon for Rio de Janeiro, can

:13:36. > :13:41.you see him put in in a good time? It does not follow. It does not

:13:41. > :13:44.necessarily follow at of. marathon is definitely

:13:44. > :13:52.unpredictable. So many people you see on paper beforehand and you

:13:52. > :13:57.think they will run great and they do not. But Mo Farah has everything

:13:57. > :14:02.to run well. He has shown that in the half-marathon. I have run

:14:02. > :14:07.behind him in some half France in Kenya this year and he definitely

:14:07. > :14:15.has the basic speed and stamina to perform. To run a fast marathon,

:14:15. > :14:21.you have to be in fast 10 K shape. He is already there. He has two

:14:21. > :14:26.babies now. You know what that is like. Getting no sleet. I think he

:14:26. > :14:31.is doing most of the daytime and she is doing most of the night and

:14:31. > :14:35.-- getting no sleep. But we know that kids give you so much back as

:14:35. > :14:40.well in terms of happiness and the energy that gives you to perform

:14:40. > :14:44.well. I think we will see a strong year for him next year. Behind you,

:14:44. > :14:48.Yohan Blake has been taking his spikes off and putting his

:14:48. > :14:58.tracksuit top on and making his wife the best. While you're busy

:14:58. > :15:01.

:15:01. > :15:07.talking about Carl good the track was for splinters fast -- sprinters.

:15:07. > :15:10.You know Paula Radcliffe? That was obviously a great race for you. At

:15:10. > :15:19.one point for you today, we believed that a world record was on

:15:19. > :15:24.the past. Last year, I was running really fast. Tonight when I came at

:15:24. > :15:31.of the 10th, no one was beside me and I was not pushing. It was

:15:31. > :15:36.possible for me tonight -- out of the turn. I want to focus next time

:15:36. > :15:40.and get more out of it. Let us have a look at the race. You had a

:15:40. > :15:50.fantastic start. Death and that leave. I have been working on it

:15:50. > :15:52.

:15:52. > :15:55.all season. -- definitely. I still feel great. I am feeling great.

:15:55. > :16:05.the turn, the bend, did you feel you might have overcook it

:16:05. > :16:11.slightly? I think I was running too close to the line and I really took

:16:11. > :16:16.it a bit of course. It has been a great season for the year. We have

:16:16. > :16:20.enjoyed your performances. Come back fighting next season. I will

:16:20. > :16:24.come back strong. I have finished the season and I keep on getting

:16:24. > :16:31.better. Next year, they will have to watch make because we are going

:16:31. > :16:41.to run very fast because I am from space, I am not from here. I and

:16:41. > :16:42.

:16:42. > :16:46.the Beast. The beast from space, full of surprises. I like your

:16:46. > :16:51.catchphrases. Colin Jackson Tommy that he knows what I need to do.

:16:51. > :16:56.They are great was a we are glad you enjoy that. Thank you very much.

:16:56. > :17:02.You have enjoyed the Jamaicans as well this season? It is great to

:17:02. > :17:06.see the stadium come alive like this. It had been an amazing night.

:17:06. > :17:13.Fantastic to see with a big smile on your face was that I hope you

:17:13. > :17:23.can run soon. Maybe London. Let us go now to the 3000 metres

:17:23. > :17:29.

:17:29. > :17:38.quickest men of all time. We have Brimin Kipruto and Paul Kipsiele

:17:38. > :17:45.Koech. They have set off at a reasonable pace. They it look as if

:17:45. > :17:50.they are not quite as keen as perhaps they might be. They set off

:17:50. > :17:56.on the first 600 metres pretty quickly. If you are a bit of fun of

:17:56. > :18:05.Ricciardo of the steeplechase, you know the names of Koech and Kipruto.

:18:05. > :18:15.But there is another Kipruto now. - - if you are an aficionado of the

:18:15. > :18:24.

:18:24. > :18:31.off the pace a little bit. The first kilometre was an eight-minute

:18:31. > :18:37.pace. You might have expected it to be quicker than that. The guy you

:18:37. > :18:43.were talking about, the youngster, the 17-year-old, might actually be

:18:43. > :18:53.second. I think he has dropped back a little bit now. It is all about

:18:53. > :18:56.

:18:57. > :19:06.the Kenyans. A very steady pace, and incessant pace, really. Jelimo

:19:07. > :19:08.

:19:08. > :19:16.it has done a pretty good job -- Elijah Chelimo. They need to be

:19:16. > :19:23.able to run to be able to take them out at the sort of pace that

:19:23. > :19:30.Kipruto and Koech or want to be running at. Particularly Koech. He

:19:30. > :19:35.is trying to push his way through. He does not enjoy having athletes

:19:35. > :19:44.around him too much. He likes a good, hard place. He likes to push

:19:44. > :19:54.on. At the moment he is having to accept with young world junior

:19:54. > :20:07.

:20:07. > :20:15.he has always there or thereabouts. Such a solid performer. Above all,

:20:15. > :20:20.he has been so consistent, no matter what the pace of the race.

:20:20. > :20:30.Hurdling is not great from the first four. Koech is probably

:20:30. > :20:31.

:20:31. > :20:37.technically the best of them. a pretty quick pace. If you run a

:20:37. > :20:47.bat to 0.44 in each of the 3,000 metre segments, you will run eight

:20:47. > :20:49.

:20:49. > :20:54.minutes -- if you run at 2.40. Brimin Kipruto is looking very

:20:55. > :21:02.relaxed at the moment. Koech is not taking this on at all. I thought

:21:02. > :21:10.maybe he would do that. He is maybe a bit tired. The two Kiprutos are

:21:10. > :21:16.at the front. He said Kellet has not taking it out, he does not

:21:16. > :21:22.really me too. In terms of his Diamond League points situation, he

:21:22. > :21:29.has an 11 point lead in the race. He wants to put on a good display.

:21:29. > :21:33.Brimin Kipruto, to start of the picture us some of the other can 10

:21:33. > :21:43.ins -- as some of the other Kenyans go through, Brimin Kipruto is

:21:43. > :22:05.

:22:05. > :22:13.is at not just about the pace. The 17-year-old Conselus Kipruto is on

:22:13. > :22:19.the inside. Koech is going past him. Four of them are in contention here.

:22:19. > :22:26.Koech is clear that as far as the Diamond League race is concerned.

:22:26. > :22:36.The two youngsters take this on. Two of the all-time greats, Brimin

:22:36. > :22:49.

:22:49. > :22:57.barrier. Koech will come under pressure from Conselus Kipruto. It

:22:57. > :23:03.will be a Kipruto one, two perhaps. Brimin Kipruto wins it, Conselus

:23:03. > :23:11.Kipruto second and Koech third. That will be enough for him to win

:23:11. > :23:19.the diamond rates. The others come trailing in behind. Perhaps we are

:23:19. > :23:26.starting to see the dominance of Brimin Kipruto. We have also had

:23:26. > :23:30.Kemboi Oy, the Olympic champion who is not here tonight. Who knows,

:23:30. > :23:36.that might be the last time that Brimin Kipruto gets the better of

:23:36. > :23:42.the youngster. He is still only 17. It is incredible. He was back in

:23:42. > :23:47.4th place. You could be forgiven for thinking, well, these guys are

:23:47. > :23:55.pretty useful. Look at that clearance by Kipruto. The momentum

:23:55. > :24:00.he gets off the bottom of that jump where he puts one for it, that is

:24:00. > :24:08.not him. He virtually clears the whole of the water jump and he is

:24:08. > :24:12.away. Not owe it -- not even Koech can catch him. The youngster at

:24:12. > :24:22.just 17 years old, you have to admire the store of talent that

:24:22. > :24:29.

:24:29. > :24:31.Kenya have. There is a name for the in the competition, it be Olympic

:24:31. > :24:41.champion Anna Harkowska and Svetlana Shkolina, the bronze

:24:41. > :25:12.

:25:12. > :25:17.medallist from the Olympics as well Kazakhstan. She has gone further

:25:17. > :25:21.than anyone else in the competition so far. The first athlete from

:25:21. > :25:31.Kazakhstan to win an Olympic medal, even before when they were

:25:31. > :25:31.

:25:31. > :25:38.competing as part of Russia. There have been in superb form. She was

:25:38. > :25:41.not so good in the first round but looking in great shape. It is

:25:41. > :25:49.interesting that the 15 metre mark has suddenly become difficult as

:25:49. > :25:58.well. She is not to blame for that but generally, the standard has

:25:58. > :26:04.dropped a little. At 10 centimetre improvement for the Olympic

:26:04. > :26:08.champion and she still leads. This is an important jump for Anna

:26:08. > :26:16.Chicherova. She was being paraded around the stadium early on as the

:26:16. > :26:26.Olympic champion. She is playing second fiddle at the moment. She

:26:26. > :26:35.

:26:35. > :26:40.ball in terms of training. No doubt about the winner, Svetlana Shkolina.

:26:40. > :26:48.Anna Chicherova, the Diamond League winner has been pretty dominant

:26:48. > :26:56.over the course of the season. She beat Chaunte Lowe.

:26:56. > :27:06.It has been a good season. All the Russian medallists were given a car

:27:06. > :27:18.

:27:18. > :27:22.points, absolutely dominant in the end. Anna Chicherova has been

:27:22. > :27:32.jumping well all season but Chaunte Lowe has been the most consistent

:27:32. > :27:37.

:27:37. > :27:47.We had a hectic half-an-hour also. Time to take stock. The 100 metres

:27:47. > :27:52.was amazing. It set the stadium alight. Aires Merritt was superb in

:27:52. > :27:56.the hurdles. I was in the commentary position and I was so

:27:56. > :28:03.excited. I was jumping up and down and Paul Dickenson was looking at

:28:03. > :28:06.me going, all right, Colin, calm down. You could tell it would be a

:28:07. > :28:12.superb performance. When he crossed the line and he glanced at the

:28:12. > :28:17.clock and he saw the time of 12.81, he could not believe it. Then they

:28:17. > :28:21.rounded it down to 12.80. A sensational performance.

:28:21. > :28:26.distance between his body and the hurdle, he said in Birmingham he

:28:26. > :28:30.was floating over it. There were too many inches. There was no

:28:30. > :28:37.daylight there. He did everything in his power to get a world record

:28:37. > :28:42.being crisp. If you go over a hurdle by an inch, it is too high.

:28:42. > :28:47.For him, it is half the centre clearance. It has got the shock and

:28:47. > :28:52.snappy and he did that and every single barrier. A rare parents.

:28:52. > :28:58.Breathtaking. I loved it. I am still buzzing. It was fantastic to

:28:58. > :29:08.see and feel his joy as well. He has had a incredible season. Let's

:29:08. > :29:12.

:29:12. > :29:22.get the women's 200 metres now. are missing from this one including

:29:22. > :29:40.

:29:40. > :29:47.an Olympic silver medal as part of the relay team. She ran in the

:29:47. > :29:57.heats. Best athlete has surprised everybody this year. She was 7th in

:29:57. > :30:12.

:30:12. > :30:22.youth champion some years ago. Part of the very strong, but world

:30:22. > :30:30.

:30:30. > :30:39.record-breaking Olympic sprint find -- she might find the

:30:39. > :30:49.opposition a bit hard here. Alessandro forever has run very

:30:49. > :30:51.

:30:51. > :30:56.fast this year -- Aleksandra Fedoriva her. Charonda Williams

:30:56. > :31:01.leads the Diamond League from Bianca Knight. Anneisha McLaughlin

:31:01. > :31:11.of Jamaica is in third place. Really, it is head-to-head between

:31:11. > :31:51.

:31:51. > :32:01.Bianca Knight and Charonda Williams 22.62. One of her best times this

:32:01. > :32:03.

:32:03. > :32:08.year. A great finish to the season. The Olympic finalist, she finished

:32:08. > :32:15.in 7th place. She said afterwards that she was desperately

:32:15. > :32:23.disappointed. But when you consider that the winner ran a sub 22

:32:23. > :32:28.seconds to hundred metres... But that was a good victory. It was a

:32:28. > :32:34.very competitive race. Missing the big names, as you said. When they

:32:34. > :32:42.came into the home straight, it was anybody's race. Vernicha McLaughlan

:32:42. > :32:48.looked as though she might take it. It was probably Myriam Soumare's

:32:48. > :32:54.best race since Barcelona when she surprised herself as well as others

:32:54. > :33:00.when she took the gold medal. Finishing on a real high here.

:33:00. > :33:07.Strong there, slowing down less than the others over the last 20

:33:07. > :33:17.metres. Charonda Williams finishes in third place so she will get four

:33:17. > :33:27.

:33:27. > :33:35.points for that. That means she one. Third round of the Joan --

:33:35. > :33:42.javelin. Not the greatest approach and not fast but she really does

:33:42. > :33:52.last the arm. Over 60 metres. Over the line which signifiers first

:33:52. > :33:58.

:33:58. > :34:06.place at the moment. 61.71 is the leading throw at the moment. That

:34:06. > :34:16.is by the South African. Enjoying the atmosphere and the support.

:34:16. > :34:26.62.78, the first athlete over 62 metres. The European champion, I

:34:26. > :34:36.wonder if she can respond? She has not poles a big one at yet. -- she

:34:36. > :34:36.

:34:36. > :34:40.has not pulled a big one at yet. But that was good, very good! I

:34:40. > :34:47.keep saying, we always forget to the European Championships, it

:34:47. > :34:51.seems so long ago. They are now every two years. I guess whenever

:34:51. > :35:01.it is an Olympic year, it undoubtedly will be forgotten. But

:35:01. > :35:11.she will not be forgotten. They pretty good effort there. She goes

:35:11. > :35:13.

:35:13. > :35:19.into the lead. Cannot the Czech competitor respond? -- can and the

:35:19. > :35:29.Czech competitor? She has great competitive spirit. These two are

:35:29. > :35:34.

:35:34. > :35:39.well ahead of everyone else. It sailed over the 65-metre line. The

:35:39. > :35:45.pathos note is the French chalk they use far extra grip -- the puff

:35:46. > :35:55.of smoke. She is probably thinking, why did I not do that a few rounds

:35:55. > :35:59.to go? Barbora Spotakova is consistently the best in the world.

:35:59. > :36:07.The former record holder had to pull out before the event started.

:36:08. > :36:15.That has left at the way clear for Sunette Viljoen and Barbora

:36:15. > :36:25.Spotakova. She liked that one false start still two more rounds to go.

:36:25. > :36:30.Terrific throw -- she liked that one. One round to go now.

:36:31. > :36:34.What a night here in Brussels. A beautiful night, in terms of

:36:34. > :36:44.conditions. We have had that replicated here in the stadium. We

:36:44. > :36:46.

:36:46. > :36:50.will finish with the women's 5000m. They couple missing. -- a couple.

:36:50. > :36:55.The Great North Run is next week which is great for all of us who

:36:55. > :37:02.will be there to see it. Five of course on BBC One on Sunday. We

:37:02. > :37:09.will have the great City Games as well. A big weekend up in the

:37:09. > :37:14.north-east. Distance fans can enjoy this 5000m because it will be a

:37:14. > :37:21.chance for Vivian Cheruiyot to resurrect something here. But the

:37:21. > :37:31.leader will be a rival for the pros. And probably for the victory here

:37:31. > :37:33.

:37:33. > :37:37.tonight. Vivian Cheruiyot has 10 points. Gabby Logan was making the

:37:37. > :37:46.point at the beginning and it almost pass me by in the excitement

:37:46. > :37:49.this season, but if you win your event, you get a wild card into the

:37:49. > :37:52.world championships. It has up to the discretion of the of federation

:37:53. > :38:02.whether they cash the wild card in. But that there is an interesting

:38:03. > :38:03.

:38:03. > :38:08.scenario about the 100m. Imagine if they can take a a wild card. Usain

:38:08. > :38:14.Bolt says, I am the diamond race winner, I do not want to run the

:38:14. > :38:18.trials, I want the wild card. I hope they are both their next year,

:38:18. > :38:23.anyway. That is a long way off. Thoughts of next season, I am

:38:23. > :38:29.pretty sure, are at the back of the minds of most athletes. They are

:38:29. > :38:35.looking forward to a well earned rest. As you can probably gather,

:38:35. > :38:45.the race has been delayed slightly. I think we might as well go and

:38:45. > :38:50.

:38:50. > :38:55.have a little chat with the guys. . Plan to have a chat about the

:38:55. > :39:04.news we are hearing that Holly Bleasdale has split with her coach,

:39:04. > :39:11.have French coach. She will go with Greg Rutherford's coach. Her former

:39:11. > :39:15.coach looks after Steve Lewis as well. He has a great stable. I am

:39:16. > :39:20.surprised. But I do not know the story behind it. Maybe it is that

:39:20. > :39:26.it is more convenient. People she knows and people she is happy with.

:39:26. > :39:36.At the end of the day, it is the athlete's decision. Let us get back

:39:36. > :39:43.

:39:43. > :39:49.great effect was Mo Farah. That was a couple of years ago. It might

:39:49. > :39:54.work for Holly Bleasdale. She has not been competing well at all.

:39:54. > :39:58.Julia Bleasdale had a cracking year. I was chatting to her yesterday.

:39:58. > :40:06.She said she was thoroughly enjoying all of this. There's

:40:06. > :40:16.chance far her to once again rub shoulders with the likes of Vivian

:40:16. > :40:19.

:40:19. > :40:24.Cheruiyot. I think the 21-year-old will be a real handful here for

:40:24. > :40:28.Vivian Cheruiyot. One thing we can say is that I would not say it has

:40:28. > :40:35.been a disappointing event but when you look back at recent events and

:40:35. > :40:45.all of the great races, when it came to the Olympics... Unlike Mo

:40:45. > :40:46.

:40:46. > :40:52.Farah, a they were not able to recover from make 5000 metres. --

:40:52. > :40:55.from the 5000m. It was a slow race in the Olympic Games. Vivian

:40:55. > :41:03.Cheruiyot have been out kicked her arrival was not able to get past

:41:03. > :41:09.the Ethiopian. She had to settle for the silver medal. What can she

:41:09. > :41:15.do here? They have asked for a reasonable pace. We have not seen

:41:15. > :41:19.too many quick 5000m races. We have seen a lot of people eyeing each

:41:19. > :41:27.other up and pushing on in the latter stages. It may well be that

:41:27. > :41:35.we are up for more of that tonight. This is an intriguing situation.

:41:35. > :41:45.The German has elected to pass at her third and final attempt by far

:41:45. > :41:46.

:41:46. > :41:51.going for the 4.75. She has got to play it. She has got it! -- she had

:41:51. > :41:57.to clear it. Fantastic performance. She finished just outside of the

:41:57. > :42:04.medals at the Olympics, in 4th place. That was a cracking jump. An

:42:04. > :42:09.all-or-nothing jump.. The European silver medallist indoors and out.

:42:09. > :42:17.German record holder as well. That is one of the best heights she has

:42:17. > :42:21.ever cleared. The Brazilian finishes in second place. The

:42:21. > :42:30.Russian finishes in third. Holly Bleasdale finishes in 9th place. Of

:42:30. > :42:37.course, the German won that one and also wins quite a bit of money, you

:42:37. > :42:45.would suspect, with the Diamond League points as well. The pace

:42:45. > :42:52.here it is being set... Not particularly quick. They keep on

:42:52. > :43:02.looking round to look where the rest of the field are. The two we

:43:02. > :43:09.

:43:09. > :43:17.have been talking about are happy pace on when the whole of the pack

:43:17. > :43:25.has not come with you. Vivian Cheruiyot will be happy to be in

:43:25. > :43:30.the pack. They are all happy to go for the victory here, not bothered

:43:30. > :43:36.at all about the time. It is a bit disappointed. Brussels is renowned

:43:36. > :43:46.for its great distance races. We have the 10,000m earlier on tonight.

:43:46. > :43:48.

:43:48. > :43:53.That... It was hoped it might be quicker. The men always seemed a

:43:53. > :43:58.bit more interested in trying to get the fast times. Certainly this

:43:58. > :44:08.year, I think the 5000 metres and 10,000 metres running for the women

:44:08. > :44:08.

:44:08. > :44:12.has been rather disappointing. word about Julia Bleasdale. She has

:44:12. > :44:17.not necessarily come from obscurity but she really has put herself on

:44:17. > :44:21.the map. She enjoys her racing. A double Olympic finalist as well.

:44:21. > :44:26.She is really getting involved in all of the Diamond League races. I

:44:26. > :44:29.have thoroughly enjoyed watching her this year. I was chatting to

:44:29. > :44:33.her yesterday and I was impressed by her attitude. They lot of people

:44:33. > :44:38.would have thought great, I have come eight. She was talking about

:44:38. > :44:42.how she does not finish the race as well. She was talking about working

:44:42. > :44:47.on her speed. She feels she needs to work on her technique. I think

:44:47. > :44:51.it is great because it shows that she is an athlete who says, yes, I

:44:51. > :44:55.have done brilliantly to get this far, but now I am here, I need to

:44:55. > :45:01.work on a bit of the race... At the European Championships, she looked

:45:01. > :45:05.like she would win a medal but got run out. The pace is harder at the

:45:05. > :45:10.Games and she probably would have finished in 7th but her team mate

:45:10. > :45:14.out kicked her. She is thinking she has to get better at the latter

:45:14. > :45:18.part of the race. She can get stronger and do more training and

:45:18. > :45:28.she also wants to get quicker as well. I think it is a great

:45:28. > :45:47.

:45:47. > :45:51.Nessie Cherono is running well. We have seen Defar and Dibaba destroy

:45:51. > :45:56.fields on the last lap. The background that Cherono has with

:45:56. > :46:02.her endurance ability, she is an African cross country champion and

:46:02. > :46:10.combine that with great 1580 pace, well, you have a great future at

:46:10. > :46:20.5,000 metres. She is affectingly -- she is effectively leading this at

:46:20. > :46:31.

:46:31. > :46:36.front, she is still the pacemaker. And then Veronica Nyaruai about 10

:46:36. > :46:46.metres back. I suspect the others will chase her down pretty quickly

:46:46. > :46:46.

:46:46. > :46:53.once the pacemaker drops out. There are still seven laps to go. That

:46:53. > :47:02.last lap, 71.53, it has been pretty consistent. Be the chasing pack

:47:02. > :47:06.where Holly Bleasdale is at the back of that chasing group, not

:47:06. > :47:16.really bothered about getting involved at the moment. You suspect

:47:16. > :47:22.

:47:22. > :47:30.the winner will come from that is there as well just running

:47:30. > :47:35.behind Julia Bleasdale. For the first time, Vivian Cheruiyot moves

:47:35. > :47:43.to the front of that group. They are slowing down to outside a 15

:47:43. > :47:50.minute pace. We are just going to go back to the pole vault. A third

:47:50. > :47:54.attempt for Spiegelburg. She wants to set a new German national figure.

:47:54. > :48:01.This would be an advance on her highest jumper in the world this

:48:01. > :48:07.year. She is ranked number one in the world this year on height. What

:48:07. > :48:17.a big anti-climax there for Spiegelburg. Nevertheless, it has

:48:17. > :48:28.

:48:28. > :48:33.been a good competition. A long and little burst. You can see them

:48:33. > :48:38.starting to push and shove. The pace is starting to pick up for the

:48:39. > :48:44.main group. Veronica Nyaruai is about 20 metres ahead of them. That

:48:44. > :48:49.gap will close. Cherono it is stretching her legs for the debate.

:48:49. > :48:54.The pace has been disappointing for this crowd. There is a party

:48:54. > :49:00.afterwards. We will have Usain Bolt doing a bit of DJ-ing and fireworks.

:49:00. > :49:08.We have not seen any fireworks in this race. We could do with a few.

:49:08. > :49:14.Somebody needs to light the touchpaper here. Brussels started

:49:14. > :49:22.this off a year ago -- a few years ago. They got the dramas when

:49:22. > :49:27.Kenenisa Bekele was running his race here. Sammy Wanjiru who died a

:49:27. > :49:37.couple of years ago, he broke the world record. They got this

:49:37. > :49:43.

:49:43. > :49:49.there. She went through 3,000 metres in almost spot-on 15 minute

:49:49. > :49:58.pace. She has never broken 15 minutes, Julia, so this is perfect

:49:58. > :50:05.place for her. Cherry it is just reeling in Veronica Nyaruai. They

:50:05. > :50:15.do not want to leave it too long -- Cheruiyot. Every stride that gap

:50:15. > :50:15.

:50:15. > :50:20.just getting a little bit shorter. I have just been told... She has

:50:20. > :50:30.just taken a bit of a tumble. I did not see that. It looks like a

:50:30. > :50:35.

:50:35. > :50:37.twisted ankle. She is about 100 metres behind the leader. They are

:50:37. > :50:43.catching Veronica Nyaruai very quickly and it will not be long

:50:43. > :50:49.before she gets swallowed up by this pack. No, the gap is down to

:50:49. > :50:59.little over 10 metres at the moment. Julia Bleasdale is finding it a bit

:50:59. > :51:06.

:51:06. > :51:11.difficult to hang onto the back of Julia Bleasdale as the athlete

:51:11. > :51:18.leading just gets eaten up in terms of the distance their hind - match

:51:18. > :51:28.between the chasers and the leader. Julia Bleasdale has to begin to

:51:28. > :51:32.

:51:32. > :51:42.hang on to the great. To be what has been the one to drag them back.

:51:42. > :51:51.

:51:51. > :51:57.Nobody wants to be out at the front to be shot at or cushion on too

:51:58. > :52:07.much. She is saying, you have caught me up, either go past, I do

:52:08. > :52:11.

:52:11. > :52:14.not want to lead any more, I will not lead any more. Cheruiyot

:52:14. > :52:24.reluctantly, she will never be forced to the front when she does

:52:24. > :52:25.

:52:25. > :52:35.not want to be. Viola Kibiwott is looking quite strong at the front.

:52:35. > :52:35.

:52:35. > :52:40.They are banging out the rhythm. The days when they broke world

:52:40. > :52:44.records over this distance, there was an incessant banging of the

:52:44. > :52:52.drums and the action was sensational. The great days of

:52:52. > :52:59.Haile Gebrselassie. 800 metres to go. Surely, someone from somewhere

:52:59. > :53:02.has got to put in an injection of pace. Julia Bleasdale is being

:53:02. > :53:12.overtaken at the back of the group by Molly Huddle of the United

:53:12. > :53:35.

:53:35. > :53:40.comfortable, the diminutive Ethiopian. This is the first time

:53:40. > :53:44.we have seen anyone make a big effort to win this race. It has

:53:44. > :53:54.taken a while to get going and finally, someone is putting some

:53:54. > :53:55.

:53:55. > :54:02.real pace into this. Viola Kibiwott is really working hard at the front.

:54:02. > :54:12.Everybody else is queueing up behind her. Just 400 metres to go.

:54:12. > :54:14.

:54:14. > :54:17.Will Viola Kibiwott give way or can she stay the distance? Cheruiyot

:54:17. > :54:22.realise is the danger. Sally Kipyego had a brilliant Olympic

:54:22. > :54:27.Games. She has been the leader all the way through this, she heard the

:54:27. > :54:34.bell and she has got herself in a great position, sitting on the

:54:34. > :54:41.shoulder of Cheruiyot. Cherono is looking for room on the inside.

:54:41. > :54:48.Cherry it has the advantage. If she beats Cherono she will take the

:54:48. > :54:52.Diamond League title. Cherono was in a bad position. Kipyego has

:54:52. > :54:57.caught a spike and is limping in 4th place. This is more like the

:54:57. > :55:04.old Kenyan champion, the champion from last year, dominating on the

:55:04. > :55:10.last lap, Vivian Cherry it wins it. -- Vivian Cheruiyot wins it. Poor

:55:10. > :55:14.Sally Kipyego, she must have got a really bad spiked with a couple of

:55:14. > :55:20.hundred to go. I think it was when Cherono came through on the inside.

:55:20. > :55:29.There was not really room. She was in a bad position. I think she

:55:29. > :55:34.panicked and I think she spiked and her. We see Julia Bleasdale coming

:55:34. > :55:39.through. I think pour Kipyego got affected badly. I do not think it

:55:39. > :55:49.affected the result. It is Vivian Cheruiyot who wins the Diamond

:55:49. > :55:49.

:55:49. > :55:54.Great drama. That is what the night is all about. Vivian Cheruiyot has

:55:54. > :56:02.gone away with the wind. We will see all the winners later on but we

:56:02. > :56:06.have plenty of sport coming up for you. Next week it is the Great

:56:06. > :56:12.North city games. Are a few athletes here might be performing

:56:12. > :56:17.and Mo Farah is going to be there. Then it is the Great North Run,

:56:17. > :56:23.arguably the greatest half-marathon in the world. Then the athlete's

:56:23. > :56:28.Parade on Monday on BBC One. Colin and I will be in the studio and all

:56:29. > :56:33.the Olympians and paralympians on the streets of London. For all of

:56:33. > :56:37.that it is Football Focus. Dan Walker will have that on BBC One

:56:37. > :56:40.tomorrow. We come to the end of the Diamond League and it is time to

:56:40. > :56:47.take stock and tap into your memories of the season which has

:56:47. > :56:52.just gone by. I want your performance of the season. Oh, my

:56:52. > :56:55.goodness, where do you start? It has been a vintage year. From a

:56:55. > :57:02.British perspective, it has got to be Jess, it has got to be no, I

:57:02. > :57:07.cannot decide! I am going Mo Farah. His performances were outstanding.

:57:07. > :57:15.How I lost my voice screaming for the 10,000 metres. What about break

:57:15. > :57:18.through British athletes? For me, I would say Robbie Grabarz. He had a

:57:18. > :57:21.sensational indoor season. We were alerted by his achievements and at

:57:21. > :57:28.the Olympic Games he got a bronze medal and equalled the British

:57:28. > :57:31.record. For me, Katarina Johnson- Thompson. She was outstanding as a

:57:31. > :57:35.world junior champion and then coming out to perform the way she

:57:35. > :57:38.did in the Olympic arena was outstanding. What a fantastic

:57:38. > :57:44.experience that Olympic Games will be for her going forward?

:57:44. > :57:49.Absolutely. Jessica Ennis is a great role model for hire. She is

:57:49. > :57:54.strong and has the talent. And your big moment of the year then,

:57:54. > :57:59.outside of British athletes, where would you go? I am desperate to say

:57:59. > :58:05.Aires Merritt in the hurdles. can have it. But I am going to say

:58:05. > :58:13.it David Rudisha. That sensational eight and metres at the Olympic

:58:13. > :58:18.Games, out standing. Denise? I have got to say Usain Bolt. An amazing

:58:18. > :58:22.race, a new world record, it was the highlight for me. Thank you so

:58:22. > :58:27.much for guiding me through these last two meets and have good winter

:58:27. > :58:31.training! It has been great working alongside you. That is the end of
