Diamond League - Lausanne Athletics

Could evening and welcome to Lausanne in Switzerland. If you are

suffering from post-Olympic depression then you are in the

right place. We have got 19 Olympic champions can 53 medallists in

on. We have Perri Shakes-Drayton gone in lane three in this first

race. There is the former or three. She ran brilliantly in

crystal Paris -- Crystal Palace, and we were talking about her

getting a medal. Her training was going really well, but it is all

about experience. She still needs to gain experience at this level.

She has something to prove to herself tonight. If absolutely. She

knows that she can go under 53 seconds. That wasn't a fluke.

about finding a rhythm, isn't it? It is about getting the timing

right and everything else that is necessary to get a good performance.

You only get experience by running in competition, ultimately. We will,

let's see how Perri Shakes-Drayton goes in this one. She has the

six for the ladies. None of this field have won here before, by the

way, but five of the top six fastest times are here. Perri

Shakes-Drayton is in three. The European champion those in lean-to.

race to there rest of the field here. She leads surely. Perri

Shakes-Drayton is very good on the flat. Become right into the

straight. The Russian is nothing like in her Olympics form. Look at

this battle for the lead. Perri Shakes-Drayton is struggling to go.

Spencer on the outside. 53.4 p it's the winning time. That is a

season's best for Spencer. As series of races needs a completely

different schools set than just running one big race. Most of the

Olympians to have celebrated should have recovered by now. Yes.

It is a funny old game. It is getting back into this event again.

Spenser sets this season -- a season's best. Am sure she will be

wishing but she could have turned out on at the Olympic Games.

Olympic champion was no were to be seen. We may see a lot of Olympic

champions fall here. Spencer, who really wants to prove that she is a

world-class 400m hurdler coming here and doing very well indeed. So,

Spencer a season's best. Perri Shakes-Drayton in third place.

did you make of that? Very pleased that my run today. I felt good. I

am looking forward to running in Birmingham, I must say. I think I

mean it's maybe one mistake out of the 10 hurdles. With the benefits

of a few weeks to reflect what happened in London, what went

wrong? An injury occurred in my hamstring. I was gutted. I have to

put it behind me. It is another opportunity. I am pleased at that

today. Well done, a great performance. Look forward to seeing

you in Birmingham. Usain Bolt is arrived. He is just getting into

his stride. He is pulling away! He gets the gold. Why did we ever,

ever, ever doubt the brilliance of Usain Bolt?

The 200m. It is a clean start. Usain Bolt was out of the blocks

really well. Look at him go! Yohan Blake is running him down. Bold is

going to do it again. Gold all the way. He is in comparable. Let's see

if he can finish this off in style. Bolt is going to have it in the

lead, and you know what that means! Usain Bolt is away and gone. It is

a new world record! Smashes it to pieces. So full of talent. The

greatest ever. He is on just after 8:30pm in the

200m. Yohan Blake is here, too. He is

going in the hundred metres. He is up against Tyson Gay tonight, who

finished just out of the medals. The women's 100 is red hot with the

top three from London. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce defended her Olympic

title. In thin men 400 sees the world and Olympic champion. He went

under 44 seconds in London. We also have Martyn Rooney you will want to

get over his disappointment in London. It was a fantastic high

jump in the London Games. Robert Grabarz is up against the champion,

I find YouGov from Russia. -- Ivan of the pacemaker. The two

pacemakers have made it to the front. Did big names are there, so

we would be looking at at 3.30 this speed. They went through 400m

in 53 seconds. It is a little bit too quick. The he is isolated in

the third place there. If the pacemakers were a bit more

experience, they would slow down a bit. They are six or seven metres

ahead. There is only one Ethiopian in the race at the moment. They are

all there. The first pacemaker has gone. The second lap took 57

seconds. This is critical, this next 300 metres. Many of these men

final lap and they don't think it will be that quick. The field is

well strung out in the backstreets five men in contention here. 100m

to go. Kick the cat is coming very finish. And that was a very good

little bit disappointing. They ran a 57 for the second lap, 59 for the

third lap. Then, of course, you get It was a mass sprint finish.

Gebremedhin was always in that race. A personal best for him. Ndiku

faded into fifth in the end. That is the 1,500m gone.

That does take a look of the schedule of events in the next

couple of hours. The women's 100m hurdles next. The top three there

from London. And the men's 110 metre hurdles coming up at 8

o'clock. And the men's 200m with Usain Bolt

at 229. Let us catch up with the I've seen from him. Four more good

throws followed. Gerd Kanter only just managed to beat the Briton. He

really had to work hard. There is no wind in the stadium.

He had also a very good series as you would expect.

athlete from the Czech Republic were followed up on her win in

London. So we have the women's 100m hurdles

next. We do not have Sally Pearson. This was one of the races of the

Olympics. It was a sensational performance. Everyone thought it

was going to be a walk over for Sally. But the defending champion

was not going to give it up. It was not good weather for hurdlers at

all. Kenya remember Sally's reaction? She did not know that she

had won. Sally Pearson said the track was so

fast in London. She did not want to come into the hurdles to quickly.

That can be a problem. If you are not used to a track it can throw

you off in your timing. But these women are all used to running on

this kind of surface. It is a beautiful night with no wind at all.

Lausanne. It is the atmosphere and the temperature as well. It is a

knowledgeable crowd. They know the events very well indeed. And they

will really be looking forward to it. Dawn Harper in lane five.

Virginia Crawford, for me, it will personal best this year. Lopes-

Schliep had a baby recently, so not in her best form. Dawn Harper

really fought to the end. And I think that Virginia Crawford is the

person she will be looking out for. Beate Schrott made the Olympic

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

Olympic silver medallist. Harper leading at the moment. Beginning to

ease clear. 12.38 the winning time. That is indeed a record if it is

confirmed. Not quite Usain Bolt but a mighty fine celebration of!

12.38 for Dawn Harper. She had to settle for a silver a couple of

weeks ago. It has been rounded down, what a disappointment.

I think she could be disappointed when she sees that time rounded

down. But she took control of the race early on. She is great

technically. And she delivered the victory over the rest of these

women that nobody would expect. She has bounced back really well.

Aggressive all the way. She will be pleased with this performance. She

will enjoy a these conditions. And the celebration says it all. You're

probably never quite certain how it is going to go. It is the emotion

as much as the physical demands from the Olympics.

You come to the track and if the conditions suit your performance,

you do tend to raise your game because you think you have an

opportunity to deliver something spectacular. And that was one of

her fastest times ever. Sally Pearson unfortunately not here. She

had some back problems. It would have been good to see her in this

race. It would have been very competitive in deed. Dawn Harper is

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

the queen of the hurdles at this go on. Let us catch up with the

women's shot put which happened earlier on. Valerie Adams was

beaten into second place. But then she became the Olympic champion

after the winner failed a drugs test.

18.56 the first round throw for the Russian.

This is the daughter of Michael Carter, remember him? But Barry

Adams, the Olympic champion. 20.95 metres, another meeting

record. She has this linear technique. That is a fine

performance from Valerie Abbey -- Valerie Adams.

good performance this evening. Just to go back to London, you probably

have mixed emotions with what happened. A lot of mixed emotions

but we cannot go back and change what happens. I got the gold medal

fair and square. Do you know when you're vain to get the medal?

idea, but I hope it will be soon. Disappointment therefore Barry

Adams. Great that the drugs system works but a shame that she could

not stand on top of that podium. That was always going to be the

disappointment. But at least she is happy in the fact that she got that

medal as a clean athlete. She threw very well today. On to the men's

400m now. Kirani James has huge potential.

I saw him recently and he absolutely mailed it in the final.

He is still in good shape and still has the desire to keep winning.

That is the most important thing. But these 400m runners, and they'd

love this track because it is so still. I'm thinking he might get

under 44 seconds again. Just caught a glimpse of Usain Bolt

out on the track getting ready for in Monaco before the Olympic Games.

The this young man, Pavel Maslak, is the current European champion.

Lalonde Gordon, from Trinidad. very well in London. Kirani James

did not look good strew the majority of this season, but just

kind did really well to do well in London. Kevin Borlee saying that he

is looking for the European record today. There is Martyn Rooney. He

loves these big European competitions. Conrad Williams, a

great wee red -- relay runner as we medallists for London clash here.

The Olympic champion, Kirani James, is an aim for. The silver medallist,

B Oleksandr Bondar. Kirani James ran 43 seconds at London. Can he go

better? Kirani James has gone off very slowly. Kevin Borlee is

already moving up. Kevin Borlee is flying down the back straight.

Goodness me! He was fit that the Olympic Games. Now Kirani James is

beginning to motor. Kirani James finishes strongly. Aggressive

running by Conrad Williams. It is Kirani James striding away. It is

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

start to the race, and Kevin Borlee had gone off very well. The eleven

macro did very well. The even Pearce that way that Kirani James

ran that shows you that you cannot but whatever way he likes. He was

totally in control. In the final stages he is so strong. He has

terrific strength. Relaxation of the shoulders as he comes through.

This young man has had a stamp named after him, a below-par named

after him. Kirani James winning by Rooney? I haven't run for a week,

so I can't complain. I have got three more races Gomersall played

the next couple will be all right. He must be hard to keep going after

what happened in London? Yes, but that is athletics. I had to relate

to come back and it keeps you focus of what you have done in the past.

The idea was just to come here and replicate it. It is hard, but we're

big boys and you've got to get on does have a lot of talent and keeps

on not producing. Yeah scum you can imagine how frustrating it is for

him! You always want to be able to produce your best. It is annoying

to say the least. He will go back and think about what has happened

this season and just make the things that were wrong, right and

keep that things that were right be Bo Qiu. -- Martyn Rooney -- B Bo

coming later. Jason Richardson in the background. Potter in the

race. A lot if people what achievement got slight the loss

because of Usain Bolt. A double Olympic champion. How dare she is,

big smiles! We knew she was running into form, and she delivered. There

is the world champion from last year. She is the second fastest

hundred metre runner of all time. Veronica Campbell-Brown has to

the silver medallist was on the lots very well. Shelly-Ann Fraser-

Pryce gets it. I think Baptiste got second. That was very, very close

at the end. Let's just have a look at that again. They don't know.

They are both given the same time. It was very, very close. It was

close on the line. I thought that Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce might have

got its. At this point Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has the lead. Baptiste

comes through very strongly at the end. Very difficult to tell from

that. I think cheetah just got it on the tape. It looked like she was

coming. It was on the dip down. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce guilty of

standing up straight there. She loses it by mm. That was very close

indeed. A very tight finish, no doubt about that. For women under

11 seconds at this time of the year! It shows you how much these

competitions mean today's athletes. -- to these athletes. What all

those women have done his they brought their form from London he

here. But is exactly what we wanted to see. We knew there were people

in this race to have a lot to prove. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce wants to

say that that was not a look at the Olympics. Carmelita Tulloch really

needed that victory. Here tonight, Carmelita Tulloch got it.

athlete when she got it absolutely right, there is no two ways about

it, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, double Olympic champion, no two ways about

it. Here is the bronze medallist coach there. It looked to me like

he had more than enough height, but he came down on the bar. Not really.

But he uses all for words there. We are seeing things

slightly out of sequence. In fact I think that was Bjorn Otto,

my apologies. So the two Germans out early on in that competition.

Let us see what she can do. That looked quite useful.

Just a little bit of fall back at the end. 6.68 which gives her the

lead. Carmelita Jeter it is with me. A satisfying win for you? Well when

you do get it you feel pretty good. I knew that it was then to be a

great run, we basically had the Olympic final! I just had to fight

to the finish line. Shelley and is having a great season. It is a case

of chasing her doubts! She is definitely a great starter, a great

competitor. Can I ask you about the relay at the Olympic Games and you

celebration afterwards. Was it a shock for you? I knew that run

running fast, and I said OK, I cannot mess this up! I have to

bring this home. When I got closer to the line I could see the flock.

-- clock. When I crossed the finish line I was full of so much emotion.

And that was not disrespectful to any other team or country, it was

an epic moment, we did something that everyone said could not be

done. It was so exciting, I cannot describe it.

Well done and well done tonight. A very excited Carmelita Jeter. Now

it is the steeple chase. complexion of the race will become

clear early on. One of the dangers of the pacemakers is that you are

just some degree at the mercy of already stretched out indicating

that the intent is to run quickly. are motoring now. Koech in third.

Brittney Reese meanwhile in the long jump. She does hit the board

well. Some of them give you the chance to hit off beautifully. She

does not really get the leg shoot. She is just behind Sokolova. That

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

is more business-like! Six away now. The pace is healthy,

well below eight minutes. Lavillenie in the pole vault.

Really works hard at the top. A lot of confidence, he imparts great

force into that pole. Three laps to go in the

steeplechase. Koech comfortable in second place.

Mutai up there alongside Koech. The Olympic bronze medallist. So many

disappointed Kenyan athletes sitting back watching the Olympic

games. Koech now has got company which may assist him. The job of

the pace makers is done. Koech attacks that barrier to the back

straight. He has a metre lead. Mutai also moving nicely. Nganga

Mutai in second. That flat speed now comes in handy. Opening up a

gap now. Mutai in second place. The gap is four metres. He clears that

with one foot on it. Birech in second place. Koech is going to

take this one. It has been a marvellous run from Birech. Nganga

just coming home. Four Diamond League points. Those are important.

Up against athletes many years his junior.

Mutai here was reallly found wanting. Birech coming over that

barrier. But Koech showing the sort of form we see time and again from

him. He is a class act. He was denied the Olympics, but he wins

again here. The cover of the hurdling makes a

big difference. Shara Proctor it in second place at

the moment in the long jump. A red flag. She is still the leader

by one centimetre from Shara house to watch this man come home

once again. How often have we seen this? And he enjoys that victory,

Koech. A pretty dumb and raced from respectable heights. It looked as

though it was going to stay, didn't it? But not so. That is a third and

at the second time of asking. There is Yohan Blake. A whole host of

stars are going to be in this hundred metres that battled in the

a share of the Olympic medal, sharing a bronze in the Olympic

Games. Moutaz Essa. That is not a attempt at 2.30. That could be an

expensive failure for him. Five men cleared 2.27. He is sitting down in

6th place at the moment. Only one man is clear at 2.30. So, the 110

stadium in front at the hundred and ten-metre hurdles. That is Steve

Hooker, just knocking it often the Paul Gault. Aries Merritt has been

in it -- in outstanding form. I think you'll be looking to run fast

here. He won the title very well indeed. This is his opportunity to

run a fast. He can go all out now and prove why he is the world No. 1

and the Olympic champion. It is a beautiful night for high hurdling.

Coming back what we said did Sally Pearson, about the differences

between the tracks, this is a perfect track for hurdling. Aries

Merritt can really afford to push himself. If he falls today, they

can take the title away from him. Jason Richardson all want to turn

the tables on Aries Merritt. There he is, the Olympic champion and the

David Oliver, he has not got it together this year and did not make

the team. Do this is the European the left of your screen, Aries

sure who it is. Let's hope it is a green card. The camera goes to the

Olympic champion. That would be a great shame if he is punished here.

I thought there was at twitch. let's hope not. He is in incredible

form and it would be a terrible, terrible... he is disqualified!

They are disqualifying the Olympic champion. I don't believe this.

That has ruined this race. The organisers will be absolutely livid

with this. But, the rule is the rule. That high hurdles has lost

its star competitor. There is no question about that. It was only at

which, that is all it takes. The Olympic champion leaves. It was a

false start, not a twitch. You have to actually lose contact with the

block to be disqualified now a, just ache which would not

hurdles. Jason Richardson is leading this at the moment. It

could be David Oliver in the third. That was a very good run. The race

was the night the best athlete in the world by a mile at the moment.

That was a good run. It went with the form book. 13.08 is the time.

What do you think about that? Well, Colin, you just looked at me

and shrubs, the rules are the rules. Aries Merritt came here to run fast,

maybe break the world record. We expected Jason Richardson to be in

great sheet. What was really significant was the resurgence of

David Oliver. That was a great performance. What was interesting

at the start, Jason Richardson almost seems to over stride to get

to the hurdle quickly, that is what you do. It seems to work for a lot

of these athletes. It is about performance here and also

entertainment. Do you think they should have exercised some latitude

with Aries Merritt? Even if you are Olympic champion you still have to

abide by the rules. He actually eat moved off the blocks. If he had

just twitch, he may have got away that there had been a bit of

describe this -- a distraction for Aries Merritt. Don't give him

excuses! He nearly made that, didn't he?

That is his first failure. He puts in the plant so well. He comes down

on the bar rather than anything else. It is not as easy as it used

to be to keep the bar on goes up rights. Here is Ivan Ukhov. Maybe

the strength is there. Use of Barshim Ahmed, who shared the

bronze medal go clear first time. Ivan Ukhov is now in second place.

He did have an early failure. Robbie Grabarz. This is the second

time of asking for him. That is nice! That is a big, booming jump

from Robbie Grabarz. His fast approach is very powerful.

Beautiful! The awareness just to wrap himself over the bar. He is in

Grabarz. Usain Bolt just relaxing. He is going to run the 200m. He has

a lane six, at very good lane indeed. It is a very good field. He

should win it comfortably, assuming he can get away from the blocks,

that is. The athletes are out on the track

for the 800m. Mariya Savinova is Hilary Stellingwerff, another

Canadian in lane two. There is Nataliya Lupu of the Ukraine. Took

a silver medal at the World indoors earlier this year. There is Pamela

Jelimo, 4th in the Games a couple of weeks back. She won the world

indoor title this year. Yelena Kofanova of Russia, European Under

23 champion three years ago. She did not compete at the Games.

Mariya Savinova had a Russian best just prior to the game's. Irina

Maracheva, a bronze medallist at the European Championships earlier

this year. Here is yet another Russian, Yekaterina Kupina. She is

the pacemaker. Yelena Kofanova is 6th ranked in Russia even though

she runs so fast. Away they go. This could be very quick. Mariya

Savinova has gone up remarkably slowly. She runs a very steady

tempo through her 800m. Pamela Jelimo, in third place, looking

to be that fast. They are running off Yelena

Kofanova. Jelimo in second place. She has grabbed a couple of metres

has Jelimo got the speed? She is leading. She is not going to get

there, not on this occasion. Savinova is outraced by Jelima. She

did everything right. Pamela Jelimo changed year. And she is in good

enough shape to have that luxury with 100m to go. It just gives you

a warning shot across the bow of with the World Championships in

Moscow, you can never get too complacent.

Look at that sudden change of pace. Savinova couldn't get it back.

not think she did anything wrong, she just could not come back. She

has settled for second place. That was a very quick run.

Pamela Jelimo back to some kind of form.

A slight blot on the season for third place. She got well under two

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

minutes. jump. Stretched a bit to the board

that time. 6.70. Robbie Grabarz then. This for at the lead.

That was an important jump from them. He is enjoying his jumping

this year. He is confident, really at the top of his game.

That was a big clearance from the world champion. Tying in first

place. The Lavillenie, his final attempt. That is his competition

done. He has to sit and watch Mohr now. Steve Lewis had a couple of

failures. But he is in their place at the moment. -- third place.

Bolt speak about Yohan Blake. He said he is still young and gaining

confidence. He is just going to grow up and get better and better.

Absolutely. And he has got great times as well. This is Ryan Bayley

from the United States, the new man on the block.

You are starting to see more of his character coming out. He is going

to get a tougher race from Tyson Gay. One thing to say about Tyson

Gay, he never gives up. If he does not get off to the best start you

can guarantee he will fight for the finish line. He has pretty much

been held together by the surgeon's life.

-- knife. It is a shame because we want to see the best sprinters as

healthy as they can. Let us see how fast Yohan Blake can go.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

Yohan Blake storming away. Nesta Carter in the third place. It is

9.69! That is sensational! He destroyed Tyson Gay on the day. And

that was a remarkable run. Tyson Gay, 9.83. Yohan Blake has moved on

another peer. It was an astonishing run. Well you mentioned he might go

close to the world record time. He was not too far away. He has just

managed to go under 9.70. He is enjoying this now and you can

imagine what his training partner is thinking. And that is why Usain

Bolt was running for 200m! It is always going to be difficult

now, people will be wanting to see another head to head. Yohan Blake,

when he got out into the lead he could really relax and just keep

working towards the line. He did that so well. He has destroyed a

world-class field. Keeping his form really well, running freely. He

already knows what he is capable of doing. So it is good to see that

because it just whets our appetite every time we see great

performances like that. Obviously their training partners and friends.

What you think of the great man will be thinking, watching it?

They have the same coach. How often are we going to see them run

against each other outside of major championships? It is going to be

down to whoever can afford the race, it is expensive to have these guys

on the track. Do you think you create more of a buzz about the

sport, Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett, of what made it special is

that they did not race against each other until the Olympics. Exactly

that, it is a proper water cooler moment.

Confirmation of that record from Yohan Blake.

He did not want to miss it! No one wanted to miss that a race.

Absolutely. It was a great performance. They will be

discussing something or other, that is for sure! But Yohan Blake, we

always said he was a precocious talent. We asked if he was the real

deal and then he ran the second- fastest 200m in Brussels and now

has the second fastest 100m of all time. Just that response when he is

speaking to Usain Bolt, I think he was a little bit surprised himself.

When you run it really fast you're always quite shocked. I think it

was the manner of his actual competition that made the

difference. We will speak to him shortly but we go back now to the

pole vault. That looked a little tired, quite frankly. Confirming

battle going on here. Yes! He has gone clear. That means we Robbie

Grabarz feeling once at this height... I think the only way he

can win is to pass at this height and go on to 2.37. Onto the track

once again. Here is the women's 3000 metres

soon. Yohan Blake is just beside us. He will be very excited with that.

He loves the crowd, the environment. He is quite an unassuming man. Here

is the man himself. He said you were going to run a little bit

quicker than that, but you must be delighted. I have been sick all

week, fighting for flu. Thank God I recovered. Did you expect to run

that quickly? Colin Jackson predicted, he is always right! I am

going to get better and better. question that everybody will ask is

how you often would you race Usain Bolt? I would run with him every

day. He is my training partner. They have to put a big money.

that form you could beat anybody. Thank you. Let's get out now to the

disqualification for at the ladies in the 3000 metres, though! I don't

think you can. This is his third and final attempts at 2.35! He has

got it! He moves into second place ahead of Robbie Grabarz. Robbie

Grabarz knows that he has to go to 2.37 now. That was a superb jump!

They Asian champion, Barshim Ahmed. Enjoying the moment.

Now we can get back to the 3000 metres. 7 1/2 laps to come. We are

looking hopefully at something like 8.30. Paula Radcliffe has run it

hits 0.21. It has been a long time since we have seen those sort of

times. Paula Radcliffe came in 2002, for example. So, the pacemaker will

take them to one kilometre. Liz Molloy has slotted in behind her.

She will take them to 2,000m. Then, hopefully it will be racing after

the two pacemakers. It looks healthy enough. Burke air is tucked

in there. She has a very quick finish on her, but not as quick as

others in the race. Jenny Simpson in the blue shorts is about five

from the back. That pace looks 0.37, Barshim Ahmed. That was very,

very close! Have a look again. He only just clips it. This young man

is a real talent, isn't he? He is in second place at the moment. He

has equalled his national record, incidentally. Now Robbie Grabarz.

He needs this. If he gets this he goes into the lead. Yes! He has got

it! That is absolutely brilliant! They personal best! And that is

what true competitors are made off! Sensational jumping. He looked

confident, his approach was confident. That puts the onus back

on the others. It pitched it back on Ivan Ukhov. What to competition!

beginning to pick up a little bet. They have gone through a kilometre

now in 2.54. Ivan Ukhov. His first attempt. He has gone clear as well!

That was a good clearance, too! He is now back in the Leeds! Robbie

Grabarz is in second, Barshim Ahmed is in third. This is sensational

stuff! Steve Smith will be celebrating that as well, I am sure.

He now shares the British record at Robbie Grabarz. Ivan Ukhov now

holds the meeting record. That record was held it -- was set in

1994. There has not been a discernible pick up in speeds in

calendar of athletes in this field. All the 1,500m specialists in this

race will fancy this. Even with Laser Mal Loye running at a very

moderate tempo, she still has a couple of metres gap. Have Barshim

Ahmed. He has got it as well! That is a new national record! What the

competition we have here! My goodness me! The youngster has got

it as well! This is world class, a sensational high jump competition!

Robbie Grabarz has equalled his national records and Barshim Ahmed

has beaten his national record! Ivan Ukhov has been there before,

winning the Olympic title at 2.38. Back to the 3000 metres. This is

not quick. One kilometre was run at 2.54. A similar sort of speed for

the other kilometre. You could throw a blanket virtually over 10

women there. It is tactical racing, the two Americans. If you are going

to let the race be slow, you need to be confident of your finishing

only six in the Kenyan Olympic trials. Jenny Simpson looks to me

like she has dropped out now. Connolly, at the back of the group.

This has become a 1,500m runner 3000 metres, if you know what I

mean. There is a fault! It is a going in there around the top bent.

Fifield has opened up remarkably considering the early speed. The

hard running coming on the final lap. The final lap was run in 58.93.

That is a world-class closing speed, it has to be said. There were

plenty of laps in there at 73 seconds, which just weren't quick

enough. Look at that! That is a very, very nasty fall indeed.

The high jump competition is now at two metres and 39 centimetres.

Barshim Ahmed is the first to attempt it. He is in third place

behind Ivan Ukhov and Robbie Grabarz. He is very close. He is

some jumper. He gets terrific height. He gets two more attempts.

Here is what it's all goes down. It is a very heavy fall, but she cut

in so suddenly, I don't think it did the Americans any favours. Am

very sad sight, but it don't think the biggest wins she has had for

quite a long time. This second fastest athlete in the world this

year. She can certainly go a lot had one failure at 2.39. He is

still in second place, attempting a new British record. Ivan Ukhov,

this is the height that he won the better at this height. Three first

attempt failures then. Ukhov still in the lead. Usain Bolt, 200m.

Three more at the Olympic gold medals in London. A world record in

the relay. There is a line-up for this eagerly

there. He will be delighted for his friend and training partner but he

will want to do something that will make people forget about that 100m!

We're still talking about their clash and what distance we would

like to see it over, the 100 guitar, playing to the crowd.

That is a new move! We will ask him afterwards.

There is a lot to prove in this in 200m race. Ashmeade was favourite

to make their team. We have to see why the battle will be like between

him and Warren Weir. Could be perhaps C three athletes

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

Usain Bolt already on to the bronze medallist, up Warren Weir.

Ashmeade going well on the inside. 19.58 - a meeting record. He ran

the race and got it comfortably in the end.

19.58, not sure if it will be rounded down. It is a new meeting

record. He was quick but perhaps not as quick as we might have hoped.

I can he see that you're disappointed! That is the measure

of the man. Look at how many Olympic champions are performing,

feeling jaded and tired. A good lane for him. I think he

wanted to get this race done and dusted so we can focus on perhaps

being quicker in Brussels. This was a good stretch for him. We were

looking at how many could go under 20 seconds and we have got three

men under 20 seconds. So a high quality race all in all.

Considering they had two weeks to rest. They had come close numbers

of promotional appearances since the Games. Usain Bolt has had so

many personal appearances, so many sponsors to shake hands with.

And there we have it. Three men under 20 seconds.

A really high quality race. Usain Bolt says he plans to carry

on until 2016. I think his future could lie in the 400m if that is

something that he really wants to attack. I have a feeling that the

training for that might not appeal. You need to work really hard, that

is for sure. But the -- he needs to step up his training just slightly

and that would make the difference. But it takes a lot of training to

go through all the grounds that this man has done during the

Olympic Games. And always producing his best in the finals. He has got

to train hard to be able to be just that. So perhaps the tiny step up

in the training for the 400m for these kind of one of competitions.

We could see the record of Michael Johnson challenged.

Coming back to this race and his time. First of all, back to the

incredibly exciting high-jump. Barshim Ahmed moves into the lead!

Clears those legs out of the way. That shoulder stays high. That is

how you do it. Usain Bolt entertains once again.

The crowds packed in once again in the stands. And every time he

appears, the crowds come. A celebrity of some considerable

merit. Just a moment to tell you what is

coming up in the next couple of weeks. In one week we have got a

Zurich and we will see Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt again. Then on

Saturday we have a documentary about Jessica Ennis. And straight

after that we have British Olympic dreams. Just capturing all the

magic of the London Games. And also on sanitary we have the Rugby

League Challenge Cup final. -- on Saturday.

And then on Sunday we have the Birmingham Diamond League with of

course Mo Farah running. Robbie Roberts and an attempt now

to get back into the lead. He ends up in third place. Ivan Ukhov, his

third and final attempt. He has to clear at this height if he is to

Challenge and go ahead. He has gone. A little bit of an

upset here. A new meeting record. Equals the record set by Mr Ukhov.

He ends up in second place. What a Going back home with some scalps of

considerable significance. Meanwhile back to the track.

Poland go in lane three. Then a combined Jamaican and USA team.

Usenet bold, pleased with that? definitely. I'm just having some

fun. I could tell Yohan Blake was going

to run fast, I could see him in training. I predicted a time for

him and he went a little bit faster. And can you explain the air guitar?

I just heard the music and it was spontaneous. I just felt that I

on Switzerland. That looked like a good changeover

lead at the moment. Very tight for second place. Great

Britain and some way down. a great evening, we have seen some

amazing athletics. Shara Proctor finished in fourth place, by the

way. We had a British record in the high jump from Robbie Grabarz. And
