Diamond League - Zurich Athletics

Welcome to Zurich, a wet evening here for the penultimate Diamond

League meeting, a glittering array of stars from the world of track-

and-field including 14 world gold- medallists. There is one man who

seems to get more attention than the next.

The moment of truth has finally arrived.

He is getting along in his stride. He is pulling away! He is going for

the gold! Why did we ever doubt of the brilliance of Usain Bolt?

The 200m final. The King of sprinting, a royal wave.

But is a clean start. He is out of the blocks really well. A look at

him go! Blake is not going to catch him! Bolt is going to do it again.

He is just in comparable. The 4x100 metre relay. Let's see if

he can finish it in style. Bolt is in the lead. Here he goes. Bailey

has no chance. Bolt has gone away. It is a new world record! He

smashes it to pieces. So full of talent. The greatest ever.

Well, officially a legend, now. Denise Lewis and Colin Jackson are

with me. It is not all about Bolt. We have got David Rudisha, and

others. Bolt, coming here tonight, then Brussels, it is about giving

back to the crowd. And he loves coming down here. I haven't seen

him here for a while. Whenever he is in town, there is a show. There

is a special something we all want to see. He is and necessarily gone

-- going to go any quicker than he has gone all season. I don't think

so. He is desperate to go home but he loves to entertain and he loves

the crowd. When he is here, everyone is an honorary Jamaican.

The tickets have sold out, you perform to many a time. Why is it

so special? It is world class and it is what it means. The athletes

enjoy being here because of the audience. There are very

knowledgeable crowd. They are supporting and clapping and it is a

very good atmosphere for the athletes. So expect special

performances to my it. We could get one in the the 400m. Steve Cram and

Paul Dickenson are in the One. Good evening everybody. Rhys

Williams will beat in lane one. Javier Culson, then all -- Michael

Tinsley. Then Angelo Taylor, and Omar Cisneros in lane eight. For

Felix Sanchez, he had a quick trip back to the Dominican Republic. He

had a fantastic reception. I chatted to him. He was a little

tired. He has been based in Zurich since then. He has been resting. He

knows the City's well. Javier Culson, he leads the Diamond League.

It is double points. It is eight, four and two. But this man cannot

be caught. He already has 16 points winners from the various racers,

meaning winning your discipline across the Diamond -- Diamond

League fixtures, you win an extra $40,000. Rhys Williams, he is on

the inside. A tough draw for him. So, Sanchez against Culson. And

Tinsley is just outside Culson in lane five. Sanchez can see

everybody he wants to from lane three. It is wet and it hasn't

stopped raining for the last four hours. They have been trying to get

storms around the first bend. So he is the first to show. Culson got

out quickly as well. Also Taylor going quickly. He maybe has a metre

or two lead now. Down the back straight, Sanchez not so quick.

Taylor has a metre lead. It will be these three. Tinsley know where.

Now, Taylor. And Gordon starting to come through. And Sanchez finishing

very quickly. Who will get this? Taylor get said. -- gets it. Done

that home straight, it was dropping and changing, all over the place

and Taylor, who looked as if he had given it away, came off it well

again. Gordon was on his tail. But he was strong. And Taylor produces

his best again. Culson is going to be disappointed, not only with us

Olympics, but with finishing off here. But, Taylor, not bad at all.

I can imagine him, he will probably want to run quicker, Angelo Taylor.

We know he can run a lot faster than that. I expected him to come

here and he wanted but a weather to show what he is made of. It is very

typical end of the rain, in the hurdles, because the lights reflect

on the track and it is difficult to see the corners. So a lot of these

runners will have problems sustaining their links. There was

so much chopping and changing. We all thought Jehue Gordon was going

to do it, but Taylor said, I am strong this year, and he takes the

victory. So, Taylor had enough to hold off Cisneros. The Olympic

champion has to settle for 4th place, Felix Sanchez.

There a pretty good start to the evening, but there is plenty more

to come. The 800m record of David Rudisha was great, but can he go

even faster here? Yohan Blake maybe Usain Bolt's best mate, but he is

more than the bridesmaid. Can he blow away as strong 100m field

tonight? Sanya Richards-Ross took the gold in London. She has some

strong women on her heels here. Allyson Felix took three golds, but

tonight she is going in the 100m. Great Britain's Grabarz is yet to

take the title and the Bounty. And maybe a new GB record as well. And

can Christine finish her season with a sub 50 run? She is up

against her nemesis Sanya Richards- Ross. That is how the evening pans

out for you. A very strong women's 100m coming up soon. We have got

Carmelita Jeter, Allyson Felix, carol. And David -- David Rudisha

has been talking about how fast he will go all week. Christine

Ohuruogo against Sanya Richards- Ross in the 400m. And the men's

200m with a certain Usain Bolt. And a great strong 5,000 metres caps

off a brilliant evening. What are you looking forward to? I am

looking forward to seeing bike in the 100m. Day go last year, he ran

and 9.82. I am expecting the same. I am hoping he sets the track on

fire. He ran so well, getting stronger and stronger. He is

incredible. He seems to go from strength to strength. He has grown

in stature, he is making a name for himself. David Rudisha, in the

Olympic Games, the most stunning athletic performance. A world

record. Everybody ran a season's best. It was the outstanding race,

and he says he has more. He thinks he can go perhaps under one minute

40 seconds, but he is 1.50 thinking 1.5. I think it is a great

opportunity for him to reconnect with the crowd. Unlike Bolt, he is

unsung hero for me. He doesn't get the recognition I think he deserves.

That was a stunning race in London. We have indeed got and Ryszard and,

in that race, and we have got others as well. -- Michael Sargent.

We have some 100m heats. What did you make of this race? It was a

solid race. And second place there in what was a decent field, with

some young Jamaicans, Jimmy has had an amazing season. Heat is the one

to watch for British sprinting. The man that can take this forward.

has got to get under 10 seconds next year for. That is the aim. But

he has learned he can be one of the best. Some of the very best female

sprinters on the planet are about to take part in a very strong

women's 100m. Paul Dickenson will call this one. Shelly-Ann Fraser-

Pryce on the right hand side, wearing of the Blues signature vest

that says she has the Diamond League leader.

This is the athlete on the inside, Ezinne Okparaebo, the Norwegian.

She is an Olympic semi-finalist, too. Carer Stewart, always there or

thereabouts although she did not have the greatest of years. But

carol, double Olympic champion, one of the all-time greats. She is back

in the field. And Allyson Felix, who came away with those three gold

medals. In the 200, the 4x100 metres and the 4x400 metres. And

this woman, Carmelita Jeter, unbeaten since the Olympic Games.

10.78 she has ran this year. Trinidad and Tobago, Kelly-Ann

Baptiste. A class act as always. Blessing Okagbare, very close to

the African record this year is this Nigerian, only to hundreds of

a second outside the continental record. Ivet Lalova, the Olympic --

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

Baptiste. If it is, she has been running well all this season, and

she was looking forward to doing this. That is a clear false start

there from her. She will be very just waiting for someone to give

her the acknowledgement. It has come up on our computer, she was

well under the threshold of 0.1 seconds. That is Jeter, not looking

concerned at all, she was OK as was Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. They know

there is a lot -- lot riding on this race financially and for

bragging rights, as I was saying earlier. Carmelita Jeter is

unbeaten since the Olympic final. Felix, in between them, she has run

10.89 seconds this season. Kelly- Ann Baptiste there, it was plainly

a false start, Colin. No two ways about it, it does not matter who

you are, the great and the mighty always suffer from the false start.

It happens in Daegu, in the same boat -- Usain Bolt suffered from it

and he had to walk as well. A very met -- brave man disqualified Usain

Bolt. And he was British, Mr Alan Bell. So we have lost Kelly-Ann

Baptiste. Carmelita Jeter. Cool, calm and collected. Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce, always a brilliant starter. And Allyson Felix, showed

tremendous form in London, albeit start but so does Carmelita Jeter.

Fraser-Pryce is absolutely flying. This is a real turnaround. Shelly-

Ann Fraser-Pryce get it, Jeter in second, Allyson Felix in third,

10.83. Any suggestion that the great Jamaican was injured, they

were totally wrong. She absolutely dominated the opposition there.

Including the lady that she beat in that Olympic 100 metre final in

London. Another great run from Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Surely,

surely one of the all-time greats. Yes, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will

be relieved to get back race at of the way. The most important thing

for her, she had an electric start and she had to deliver that to give

herself the right chance. She got ahead of the Heathfield and kept

going. Everyone knows that once she gets a good distance ahead, it is

going to get difficult to close her in. Look at this, at 20 metres, she

was already one meet up and she just keeps going away from the

field. She called the Mall -- she called them all off guard. They

thought she was injured, she had the strapping on. She proved them

wrong. 11 seconds would not be a laugh at. A great -- 11 seconds

would not be enough. A great performance, 10.83 into a wind.

Every sprinter will now think, I am going to put my mind to it and

deliver a great performance. Carmelita Jeter takes second place

with Allyson Felix in third. Allyson Felix was a very, very

close third. 11.02, for the third place. No doubt about the winner,

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. 10.83, and she is the Diamond League champion

here in Zurich. She made that look quite easy.

Didn't she just? I AM surprised, I have to say, having seen Jeter in

Birmingham and Switzerland, I thought she had this surprise. How

wrong was I! We heard a rumour that she was not racing, she had had

late checks and she was not fit. A bit of strapping but nothing wrong.

Nothing wrong and Colin intimated that. Sometimes athletes hear

whispers, Jetta might have heard that she was not running, it was

really about those two in the 100 metres this year but to have got to

stay focused. I was very surprised that Jeter was so far behind.

have been a few field events so far this evening. Here is a round-up.

Yesterday, the women's and men's shot but took place in the station

in Zurich, it has become a regular feature. Valerie Adams won

comfortably. She was a long way, the furthest distance ever in the

Zurich meeting. Diamond League champion as well. As far as the men

were concerned, it was a turnaround in form for Reece Hopper. -- Reese

Hoffa. He dominated the opposition. He was ahead of Ryan Whiting and

Tomasz Majewski the Olympic champion.

Here in the stadium today, pretty awful conditions. Sandra Perkovic

in the women's discus, the Olympic champion, did not have to wait long

before the Croatian came into some kind of form. It was in the first

round. 63 metres 97, and nobody could get close. So a win for the

diamond lead and the individual competition here, with that

distance. It was Croatia's first ever Olympic athletic champion.

There was a bit of a surprise in the men's triple jump, a Fabrizio

Donato, who we saw with the European title earlier on this year.

He sprung out to 70 metres 29 in terrible conditions. He beat the

Olympic champion Christian Taylor. Christian Taylor won the diamond

lead, he was on the possible and utterly -- back event. No doubt

about the winner here in Zurich, a very old and wet Italian!

It is a shame to tell you, the rain is still coming down. Not because

we do not mind getting wet, but David Rudisha who is going for a

world record, he has publicly declared he does not like the rain

and bad could hamper his efforts to get a world record. It should not

cause problems for Robbie Grabarz, who has had an incredible 12 months.

He had his funding taken away 12 months ago, he had to look at

whether he wanting to take on, he went into the Olympic final and has

As soon as I started the winter, I was determined to make the games,

whatever it took I would get there. Then I opened up my state -- first

competition and thought, I can do more and just make the games. I

made a personal best in my first competition, I thought, this is the

start. I have not looked back since. Is there anything you can put your

finger on, that changed? What turned you into an Olympic

medallist? About 2011 was the turnaround, -- it was a bad 2011. I

was 23, 24, I thought, you are not a junior or senior, you have no

excuses. I knew I was better than the performances. I had a drop off

or restoring classic cars, which was my dream job, and I thought,

shall I give track and field one last go? I thought, give your dream

job up, so you have to give track and field a real go. It changed my

mentality which physically changed my training, because it was a bit

better and my mental approach was spot on all winter. Then I have

reaped the wards this summer. I am very selfish, don't care about

anyone else, it is out of my control so why waste time trying to

beat people? If you pick someone else, I would to beat Jesse because

I want to win the diamond lead, but I cannot focus all of my attention

on that, because that would be bad. It is just keep pretty dense, keep

my focus. -- it is keep the routines, keep my focus. Incredible

what you can do when you focus and put your mind to him, he is now

serious and look what happened. is a great story, a great moral

about concentration, focus and commitment. We have known, his

coach, he is fantastic. They have a brilliant chemistry. They have

agreed relationship, he has told him to commit and 11 and he was

outstanding. Get a bronze medal in the Olympic games and you could end

up winning here as well. The noise around he wishes on going, it is

brilliant, it is focused on the it look what, but the big names are on

the second page. Milcah Chemos, she was favourite in the Olympics, she

finished 4th. She leads the league. A combination of results, and will

not confuse you until, let's see what happens. Essentially, Milcah

Chemos, she is wearing the blue number, she is moving into 5th

place. If you include the pacemaker. So, she needs to come in the top

three, and then she'll be fine. Milcah Chemos, going into the

Olympics, many people thought she would have won the gold medal

except she was spiked at the Kenyan trials and that gave her a real

problem. Missed a bit of training, miss the Paris diamond lead, and

then dropped out of Stockholm, which was one by the Olympic

champion. She was a late withdrawal tonight. They have ignored the

pacemaker largely. That is because, I guess, they know that you're free

of them have got the chance if they win here tonight, -- two or three

of them, have got a chance if they win here tonight, it does not

matter about the time, it is just the placing. It was quite quick at

the one kilometre mark. The Ukrainian pacemaker took them

through at just over three minutes. At one point, she was on a world

record pace. She dropped off that pace. The Sharapova, the Russian

who won the Olympic title, she was entered for this race but she was a

late withdrawal. So it will not be a repeat of the sort of form that

we saw from her in the London Olympic games. Or the main

contenders are there. The pace is building and this should be a quick

race. When she was fit and racing well, Milcah Chemos to try to

dominate these races and be strong at the end. She has not been the

same athlete since she picked up that injury. She may be trying to

come back into some better form. They are all there. Habiba Ghribi

is looking a little bit tired tonight. Sophia a surfer will be

wanting to stay close as well. -- Sofia Assefa. Mr still all to play

for. British supporters will be watching

the progress of an Olympic bronze medallist Robbie Grabarz. This is

only to meet the 25. Lobby has been going pretty well in awful

conditions and sheep -- and he does it once again. That gave it a

little flick but he is still there. Better mesh Mader of Ethiopia is

still reading -- is still leading. Sofia Assefa could win this, she

has on -- she has had seven points. If she was in third place, she

would win the diamond race. So Milcah Chemos knows that a top to

finish could guarantee her a prize. Two laps to go. Habiba Ghribi is

trying to get back. Milcah Chemos is looking very comfortable is

second place. She has always got a very economical action. No problem

with going over the barriers. There are four athletes there. They are

all have -- they all have a very good shout. No problems over that

barrier. The conditions, I have to emphasise this, are absolutely

awful. The landing and take-off, it is quite treacherous. She has not

been challenged. Milcah Chemos is now beginning to take it on. Milcah

Chemos will be here, Sofia Assefa or, she gets the better of the

Ethiopian. Milcah Chemos out of the water jump, takes it really well.

Generally bitters runners would not mind this, a cool evening with no

wind. -- distance runners. But the fact that there is so much water...

That is what happens! Milcah Chemos she clipped the top of the hurdle

and went down, that is her Diamond race gone. I did she got stood on

as well. We will pick that up afterwards. That is unfortunate for

her. At the front, the Ethiopian is still leading and Sheikh -- said

the SFO must realise she has got a huge opportunity. -- Sophia asked

if there must realise she has got a negotiate this last 200m. That is a

cracking finish. Assefa had the chance of taking this title anyway

but now she knows it is hers. I am sure she has realised what has

happened. The question is, would Chemos finished in the top two?

That barrier, over it safely. Just a little stumble for Assefa, but

she comes away to take it. The time is not that quick, outside 9.2

minutes, but she wins the Steeplechase, and Ayalew is in

third. What a shame that Chemos, she is just coming across the line

now, a horrible fall. We were just talking about the conditions, and

we were almost tempting fate. I am not sure she slipped. She hit the

top of the hurdle, she misjudged it. It was the commentator's curse.

Assefa put a lot of distance between herself and the rest. If we

watch this again... It wasn't on that occasion. But some of the

pretty wet conditions here in Zurich by the very nature of the

event, it is wet. It is here. She caught her trailing need right on

top. She got stood on as well. It took the wind out of her sails. A

very good race. And Sofia Assefa is You made that look easy. I tried! I

came out here to look my 100%. My quad was acting up, and I want to

say thank-you to my medical team. They actually take I leg before I

came out here today and I was really nervous about what would

happen but I trusted them to deliver, and I am grateful I came

out and did my best. We heard you had pulled out, but what is wrong

with the leg? I have no idea. I am working with the doctors, so

hopefully we will sorted out. I was never out but I was contemplating,

but I was never out. I don't know how have you heard that, but I am

excited I got the chance to raise. And I am looking forward to next

year, because this is my last race, so what a way to end the season.

organisers had taken her up off the starting list. Anyway, picking over

the result of that Steeplechase, Assefa is the champion tonight. It

is very unfortunate for Ayalew. A very unfortunate end to this season

David Rudisha warming up for the 800m. He didn't go back to Kenya,

he has declared he wants to go for another world record. And what a

magnificent night it was when he won the gold. Personal bests and

season bests all round. Let's Olympic Games in track and field.

Let see what he has in store for us tonight. David Rudisha, as ever,

loves to be at the front. A beautiful running action. It is

following the script everybody thought would happen. And down the

back straight, can they hang on? Look at this. Kitum is moving into

third, Andrew Osagie is trying to come in. It is all about David

Rudisha striding away to become the Olympic champion. How quick will it

be? That is the world record! Unbelievable. David Rudisha is the

Olympic champion, the greatest ever I saw the guys coming behind. And

the last 200, it was 26.6, and if I think I can improve, I think I can

low of the record a little bit. When you are running 800, for

example, you know you have to think, like, the 400 is gone, so let me

start the way I start my 400, pushing down to 300, you start

thinking, how do I normally start for 300. And down to 200. Etc. When

you reach a certain point, you forget the past. You start thinking

about what you need to do from there. A nice even pace, then push

on at 300, push on at 200 and you come down the home straight. What

time will you run? I think... My aim is to try a 140 1/2. -- 1.40

0.5. I think it is possible to run 1.4. I know many people are talking

about going under 100 seconds, but to take under a second in an 800,

that world record is becoming very difficult to beat.

Well, he is just the most beautiful athlete to watch. His style is just

great. And hearing him bisect the race, hearing him how he approaches

the world record. He is incredible and I will never forget that race.

It was almost like a time trial, which we have never seen in an

Olympic Games before. He has calculated, he knew exactly what he

needed to do. He brought it home and he was in the best race, he

made the best race. And it was the same night as Bolt was running his

race. But it was the performance of the Games. Lord Coe felt the same

way. We have seen so many races over the years, but that was the

race of the championships. I asked Steve earlier whether he enjoyed

racing here. What did you tell me? Tell me your time? I can't remember,

it was that long ago! I did have a good 800 here one night. It is a

great place to race. David Rudisha is looking forward to it but the

weather is a factor. It is not as warm as he would like, but he has

been preparing for this, he has been training in Germany, no race

since the Olympic Games and he is squinty eye it like everybody else,

but it is a good race. We do have Michael Rimmer and Andrew Osagie,

and Andrew was in the 800m final. We have Duane Solomon of the United

States, then the 17-year-old from Kenya, and then David Rudisha, and

of course his running mate Sammy Tangui. He has asked for a pace of

48.5 from Sammy Tangui. He says he likes his rhythm. He says he needs

a bit of space and then he wants him to drop out at 400, then it is

up to him. Here we go. The crowd will play their part as they always

do. How many of the others will commit and follow, go with him?

That remains to be seen. Many were rewarded with great times at the

Olympic final by chasing Rudisha. He said to me, I did it well, but

what I did not do well was the 700 metres, which is what he wants to

improve on. He thinks Sammy Tangui is the good man to start the pace.

He is looking behind. That is crazy. What is he doing? I think Sammy

Tangui, he took a look behind him to see where David Rudisha was.

That is a bit slower than David Rudisha wanted. So the race is on.

Just looking back through the field and Andrew Osagie is three from the

back at the moment. But David Rudisha, it is all about him and

the clock. He doesn't look as smooth to me as he did in the

Olympics. Down that back straight, he is not looking that good. That

is way too slow. He has got to win this race, never mind the world

record. He has got the American, Duane Solomon. And he is taking on

the big man! He has beaten him before. And Muhammed Aman is going

to do it again. He is the only one who has beaten Rudisha before. He

has sprung a surprise. He takes it. Because of that, he will also take

the diamond race because you don't see you boss in all of the diamond

lead. Aman was unlucky in the fact he committed himself in the Olympic

final. And you could just tell, starting on the start line, he

wasn't quite up for this tonight. Any athlete should not say I don't

like it when the weather is not good. But the pacemaking was

shocking. And then Aman ran his own race. And his confidence is

building and building. And that is a personal best for him. That shows

what he is capable of. Well, Muhammed Aman, I bet he wishes he

could turn the clock back now! We think that Andrew Osagie came 6th.

In fact, he finished in 5th. Michael Rimmer was in 6th. But Aman

truly made David Rudisha pay down the home straight and you don't see

that very often. AA man six metres out started punching the air. I've

got the great man. You will not see that very often at all anywhere in

the world. That is why we like athletics. Nothing ever is a

foregone conclusion. Well, that is the new national record for

Ethiopia. It equals the world junior record set earlier this year.

Leonard Kirwa Kosencha got the third place. Andrew Osagie gets the

5th. Because he gets eight points in this final race, Aman takes the

Diamond League, $40,000 to boot. Back to the High Jump. The American

is the next athlete to drive. -- to Williams, well... If Robbie Grabarz

can beat the American, he will win the diamond lead, and the biggest

trek he has ever seen. If Jesse Williams, who started off the

season so very well, leading the world rankings for so long... He

suffered an injury earlier on... Oh, conditions we've got here. It is

not just wet, but it is cold as well. Compare that to Lausanne,

just over a week ago, when they were jumping 2.39. It gives you a

good idea of how difficult it is for all of these athletes. So,

Robbie Grabarz, he seems to be getting better and better as time

goes on. He has talked about his attitude a lot. And that is the

difference, partly, but he is also a better athlete. He is showing he

can do these competitions well. That is what sets you apart from

the rest. This is not for gold medal. But it is an important jump.

A clean slate so far... And two David, conditions would Bob, but

was it too quick? It was not that bad, but the pace was OK. I told

Sammy to go around 49, because the track was wet and it was raining,

so I told him not to push too hard. I don't feel good when the track is

a wet and raining. This is it, you can go back home to Kenya, see the

family and enjoy the expense of being Olympic champion. Of course,

I am happy to accomplish my goals. I just go back and be with my

taking part in a very, very soggy stadium in the pole vault. Essex

beagles finest, Steve Lewis, the British record holder who finished

5th in the Olympic Games, -- Olympic Games, which no British

pole-vaulter has done before, made five metres and 55 at the second

attempt and then ran to get back under some sort of shelter. It was

terrible conditions. Only one man vast -- must have them, the Olympic

a height that Stephen Lewis attended as well along with four

others. The Frenchman went over at the first attempt so were safely in

first place. Lewis on this occasion found it all too much. He has

raised his British record height this year to five metres 82.

Nevertheless, it has been a very good year for him. He finished

The men's 100 metres coming up, Yohan Blake has the stage to

himself. Usain Bolt is going in the 200 metres. Four Blake, he is

definitely not slacking off, if anything he is getting quicker.

have worked really hard, I do not just work for the first blast of

the Olympics, I worked after -- after as well. The dominance in

training that I use, it is going to the end of the season. It is paying

off now. What sort of race are you expecting? Routine, according to

plan, just execute what my coach told me to, what we sit and talk

about. God speed everything will go according to plan. I like to

surprise people. I like when the commentators say, while! What with

the -- or what would surprise you? What time I could give me? I am not

going to give you a time. I like to behind Usain Bolt and equal with

4th in the Olympic final. He was drawn next to Yohan Blake. When he

won the Switzerland Diamond League race just a few days ago, it he ran

9.69, into a very slight headwind. Conditions here are much wetter and

the wind is swirling round the looking very carefully, it looked

like Tyson Gay. But a couple of Attlee's reacted before the gun. --

a couple of athletes. Tyson, yes, he is the man. He encouraged

everybody else to move. I think the marksman could walk over to him

with that dreaded red and black sign. You just get the impression,

looking at Tyson Gay, that perhaps he knows there is a problem. No

problem at all with Yohan Blake. Now, where is he going? He is going

to lane five. It is goodbye to Tyson Gay. Tyson is trying to say

that there is noise. But I do not think here in Zurich they are going

to let him get away with it. They have a job to do, and they need to

decide that he will have to walk, but he is still shaking his head.

The crowd of whistling, they do not want him to go, we do not want him

to go but the rules are the rules. Let's see how they deal with this

situation. A gentleman is heading over to lane five. Christophe

Lemaitre does not seem bothered, Yohan Blake is out of the picture.

It was clearly a false start. I do not think in a situation like this,

there is any point at all at complaining about something he can

or cannot here. It seems like the officials have made their statement.

They have encouraged him to leave the track. I think that is a good

thing. Well, the race has lost a bit of its flavour, a bit of its

spice. Yohan Blake, just on his own there, looking very cool, calm and

you think, where did he get the was not in the Olympic Games, he

was dropped by his Olympic Committee because he said he

flouted the rules by leading the a fantastic start from the Jamaican.

Ryan Bailey of the USA is there, but it is Yohan Blake, all the way.

A very routine 9.76 seconds, my goodness. 1.4 metres per second,

wind. Absolutely fantastic, Colin, what do you say? It is a chilly

night here. The crowd are all in jackets, but Yohan Blake still

manages to produce a sizzling performance. 9.76, yes, OK, he was

aided by a nice wind, but in these conditions I can assure everybody,

is to meet his and 28 centimetres. Nobody has cleared it yet. -- two

metres, 28 centimetres. Jesse Williams, the American, has not

cleared it. The only other man in the competition is the Olympic

champion, Ivan Ukhov of China, who has not played it either. -- of

Robbie is Easter the wet, you can tell. He does not mind a bit! -- he

is used to the wet conditions. was at Birmingham last week, he was

the last person to leave the stadium. People want to chat, he

loves what is happening to him at the moment with the athletes, all

the attention he is getting. He is certainly, pardon the pun, rising

to the occasion! In these conditions, that might be good

meeting record, the fastest run ever seen by the Zurich crowd. 9.76.

Nesta Carter=his season's best. And A great run from Blake, it is

getting chilly. Last time, it was a warm and balmy evening. How much

quicker can he go? Having seen him, I think he can really challenge the

world record. He seems to be able to run in any condition. He got out

superbly well tonight. Already, from this point, he had won the

weight -- run the race. He was strong, at his nickname is the

beast because he tears the trek up. Once he is into his running no one

camp touch him. Anything sympathise -- any sympathy for Tyson Gay?

There was a loud heartbeat sound around the stadium to build up the

tension. Identity to make excuses for someone as experienced as he is.

-- I do not think you can make excuses. That would have made the

race exciting, so it is unfortunate, but he was out. Christine Ohuruogu

coming up in the 400 metres. She seems to have had a little bit of

time to reflect on her silver medal. She looked up so desperately

disappointed to lose her Olympic crown. Overall when she looks back

on this season, do you think she should feel, actually she did

everything she could do in London and should not be disappointed?

think so. But the mind of an athlete is something different. You

can never really get into that mindset. But you are right, she

should be extremely delighted with what she has achieved. 12 months

ago, it did not even look possible that she would be in an Olympic

final and she was outstanding. She will have her work cut out tonight,

it is a fierce a field. Amantle Montsho, and Sanya Richards-Ross.

That is coming up soon, but Robbie Grabarz is going in well at the

to have cleared to meet his 28, which takes him much closer to that

$40,000 cheque. This is the Olympic champion, Ivan Ukhov. Third and

final attempt. Well clear. Well, Jesse Williams certainly knows the

pressure is on. He has got a chance of winning the Diamond League, the

only man close enough to Robbie Grabarz. He has passed his third

and final attempt at 228. So we will see the bar price to two

metres and 31, with four athletes left in the competition.

A great high-jump competition continuing. Conditions up getting a

little worse. No more rain, but it is certainly chillier. The Olympic

champion at 400 metres hurdles a Hong Raghu in Birmingham recently,

is on the eastern -- Christine Ohuruogu. I do not know anyone who

has done more interviews than Sanya Richards riots. She is always good

to chat to. -- Sanya Richards-Ross. She is looking forward to going

home, according to some people in a hotel. One more big performance

required but she might be a little bit vulnerable tonight. She ran a

good 200 metres in Budapest. She won the Stockholm Diamond League,

which Christine was third in. Richards Ross had a shot over 200.

Christine went to Birmingham and finished second to Rosemarie Whyte.

The first time the three medallists really needs to try and stay with

the Sanya Richards-Ross as much as possible. She has already started

really well and made up some ground on Amantle Montsho. Antonia clever

chap care has started well as well. They are gliding down the back

straight, Amantle Montsho will probably fade. Christine is not in

this. She has got round to the top bend, but she looks really out of

this. It is Amantle Montsho, Sanya Richards-Ross. Rosemarie Whyte is

going well. The Jamaican has another cracking run. Here comes

Sanya Richards-Ross, finishing quickly. She might have enough to

get past, she will do. Sanya Richards-Ross get there ahead of a

Amantle Montsho, Rosemarie Whyte, Christine Ohuruogu is at the back

of the field, completely out of sorts. Quite a few tired athletes

there, and Sanya Richards-Ross has just had enough. Let's go back to

Jesse Williams. He has got to go passed on his third attempt at 2.28.

He took off too far away. That is it for Williams tonight. That is

good news for Robbie Grabarz. Whatever happens in terms of the

competition, he is going to win the Diamond race. I bet he's not

thinking about the $40,000, what do you reckon? He will want to clear

this height. But here is the woman of the moment. The 400m belongs to

this young lady. She had to work hard down the straight and I was

wondering whether she was going to add to her under 50 seconds, but

not tonight. It was a tough victory for her today. I am pretty sure she

will be happy when she is on the plane on her way back home with

great victories under her belt. 0.31, the new target for the new

Diamond League champion, Robbie Grabarz. It has been a cracking

season, and Olympic bronze medal, equalling the British High Jump

record, and now two more attempts sometimes there is a race where

there are a lot of tired athletes, and Sanya Richards-Ross was one of

them, but she dug deep in the home straight. She didn't want to get

beaten. Montsho, looking like the athlete she was last year. Whyte, a

good third place. Ohuruogu, a disappointing 9th place. And Yohan

Blake is with Gabby. I know you are waiting to sign the autographs.

That was your last hundred metres race of the season and yet you have

so much more running. I have to give thanks to my coach. And my

managers. For the team has been going for the whole of this season.

It has been going really well and took and on this 100m, it is good.

How pleased are you of the season? I am very pleased. Three medals in

the Olympics. I am very happy. Against the legend, Usain Bolt. I

am very happy. Next week, 200m. am looking forward to Brussels.

of the women. No Olympic gold or silver-medallist seer. None of them

are here in Zurich. Nevertheless, a cracking field. And the diamond

lead standings are wide open. That is Simpson of the USA. There is the

Olympic bronze-medallist. And Diana Cummings, who has promised to take

the athletes through to 2.06. That is Jenny Simpson of the USA. Semi-

finalist. Jamal Twice a world champion, she has been around. She

has lost a bit of the fears she showed us a couple of years ago.

That was hammer England. And Laura is sitting in the commentary box.

Last race for her this season. That's right. She is on holiday

from next week. This is a very hard season. England is trying to pick

out the best of the disappointment of this season. Let's see what they

have got left. It is interesting this race. Aregawi, she is the

leader of the diamond race. Let's see what happens with the pace.

They're all bunched, which is not what you see in xeric. They

normally go for it in Zurich. They have decided they will have a

little race of their own and led the pacemakers go. Well, the

pacemakers, they are not even in the picture. The lead group of the

wheel race. Belete, then England, the tall blonde a couple of places

behind. Jamal,, hustling along. She is in a good position at the moment.

She will want to try to make sure she beats Aregawi. She has a chance

of passing her in the Diamond League. She is wearing the blue.

This pace, the rest of the field are not interested. The pacemakers

have waited for them. We will now see a big burn up over the last 700

metres. That is a very slow time. The only athlete we have not

mentioned, running in the centre is the 18-year-old Kipyegon of Kenya.

They have been producing some wonderful athletes. And there is

Martinez in 4th place. England is four athletes in front of Weightman.

They expected this race to be strung out. This is not what they

expected. This will be a big burn up, everybody will be looking for

good positions. It is going to be interesting, this last lap. And

those two British athletes are well off the pace. There has been a fall.

I think that was Kipyegon, the athlete at this talking about

before. England, trying to stay with them as much as possible.

Aregawi Has gone into the lead. No sign, at the moment, Maryam Yusuf

Jamal Ethiopian record holder is away Abeba Aregawi, going for gold,

going for the Diamond League big cheque. She gets it. In second

place is the Kenyan, Cherono, but the Ethiopian has won the standings

by a long way. She won that race comfortably. Robbie Grabarz,

already guaranteed the big prize denied. -- tonight. Can he win the

over all competition? Only two men left in it. Ivan Ukhov and Robbie

Grabarz. Here he goes... Oh, no. That wasn't the best of his efforts.

But a very good competition from him. If Ukhov doesn't go clear, he

will win the competition. He would win it on countback, but he knows

he has won the big prize already. A very good night for him, if not in

terms of the results, but the that flashed up on the screen. Now,

the Olympic champion, Ivan Ukhov, the outstanding man in London. He

knows he has got Robbie Grabarz sitting in the box seat at the

moment. Even if Ukhov get this, Robbie Grabarz... Has won the

Diamond League standings, that's for sure. He goes the Olympic

champion. That is a great from the British staff. -- staff.

Robbie Grabarz gets the money, Ukhov gets the victory. I wonder if

Ukhov will decide to go for anything higher than that. Soaked

through. But victorious. Let's have a look back at the 1,500 metre

result. and the American finished very quickly in third place. Hannah

England Finishes in 6th place and Usain Bolt was asked whether he

could have gone up for the world records at the London Olympics.

I think the 100m, if I didn't mean five metres before, I could have

got that. But 200m, I think I could have done it. But I came out, and I

was, like, I am not going to try to overdo this, and then be out for

the rest of the season. It may be bad and then I have to start from

the beginning. I thought I would take it easy. And I can try next

season for the record or some other time. The injury you had leading

into the Olympics, I am curious to your plans for the future. Is that

a concern, is it completely behind you, are you still talking about

the Long Jump in the future? It is just my back. The injury comes from

a back. All I have to do is work hard, keep it in check. Sometimes,

you slag off slightly, and it goes going to dedicate a lot more time

to try to keep my call strong, and then I should not have a problem.

He doesn't really want to commit to what he is going to do in the

future, but would you say he would have an easier racing's schedule

next summer? Not necessarily, because athletes love to compete.

It is the highlight of what we do. He is such a character. Training is

the hard bit and competing is the fun bit. Not in these conditions!

It is cold. But, you know, he has to stay healthy, that is the key.

And quick times. If he can do that, we will see something special.

Let's see what his performance will well. But the race took place. It

is warmer than now. This is the full line-up. Alex Wilson is

leader. There is a chance that Usain Bolt could still win the

highly on his things to do in 2012! start from the big man, going well

Rahmat bend with Nickel Ashmeade are the closest. He is estimated

down and he is giving him a race. Usain Bolt has dug in become a way

he goes. The big legs striding away, 19.66, he makes it looks so easy.

Almost becoming ordinary. It is a meeting record. That was held by a

Wallace Spearmon. He ran a could bend, came in the home straight,

was looking to crews and relax. Nickel Ashmeade was not let him do

that. He turned it on the last 50 metres. I am not a sprint expert

but that was not the best race I have never -- ever seen Usain Bolt

run. How on earth did he run 19.66? The other interesting thing is that

Churandy Martina almost gave up. It was about 50 meetings to go, he had

a twinge in his thigh or hamstring, -- 50 metres to go. And he was well

out of it. So the Diamond League standings are going to be very

interesting. I will tell you why Usain Bolt looks like he is not

gaining any speed, he is covering lots of ground. He has got a huge

stride length. Once he gets his knees for lift going, the highest

in the lift, the longer the stride becomes. He can afford to amble

around the turn at 9.9 and then come down the home straight by just

lifting up your knees. That is how you get a performance of 19.66. It

is just great seen him run like this. I love seeing it. He loves

seeing this, he loves working the crowd and performing in front of

them. This is a new meeting record. I think he will be happy with that.

If someone from the North East is cold, imagine how a Jamaican feels!

Very true. I guess that is a measure not only of Ashley -- Usain

Bolt, you have got to hand it to Nickel Ashmeade. Bear in mind, he

did not even represent Jamaica at the Olympic Games at the cement. He

has run a personal best. He has won the Diamond race, he takes a

$40,000 but the wind, tonight, as ever, goes to Usain Bolt. The new

record, 19266. He is not been dramatic, it is rather chilly here.

In Lausanne, it was a balmy evening, so it is a very impressive run.

is cruise control, it is amazing. For me, it is about bolts, but did

you see the rest of the Jamaicans? It is very impressive. There is a

really coming later. Yes, the youngsters are coming. Robbie

Grabarz is here, congratulations, you have one of bright -- Durman

League. Yes, it is crazy! Sum up the top months. I do not believe it

quite yet. The three major things have happened, European champion,

Olympic medal and I won the Diamond League. I have not got any words, I

am so happy. You could have been restoring classic cars if it not

for a certain decision. At least they would have been dry! This is

incredible. It has been so much fun. Not for one session, -- you don't

regret the decision? QC might a showman. It is great fun, high

jumper you are up -- it is up on stage, so you have to play or it is

very dull and cold. What can you do next with another great winter's

training? Just to build on this. There is room for improvement in

every competition. One up every competition and I will be smiling.

It has been brilliant senior, and seen the fruit of all your

neighbours, enjoy your time of. -- it has been brilliant seeing you.

Thank you, everyone, cheers. Let's go back to Usain Bolt. It is good

to see someone loving his sport. It is the same with Usain Bolt. The

crowd really appreciate that. the high jumpers are very special,

they have crazy personalities. They use the energy from the crowd. But

yes, back to the great man himself. Colin was right, he did amble

around the turn. But you know something? He done -- he has done

what he set out to do this year. He should be here enjoying it, and he

did. It was a great run. We come to think 19.66 is a walk in the park

for him. Sub 20 is normal, that is what he does. He would not commit

yesterday in the press conference to what is going to do next, the

long jump was thrown at him again. One of the journalists suggested

that the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow might have been a good time

to start that. It will be an issue where he goes now. Even at the age

of 15, he was having these problems. He has a slight curvature of the

spine. He has to manage himself. The more he can concentrate during

the winter months when he does his general preparation, a lot of the

core work but he knows he needs to do, we will see a fitter, faster

Usain Bolt. He has certainly given back to the crowd. Next, it is the

champion, she has already ended her season. But Dawn Harper, Beijing

Olympic gold medallist, followed by a silver in London. Virginia

Crawford, next to her. Twice the US champion. She finished third in the

London Diamond League and 4th in Stockholm. Queen Harrison. Another

fine hurdler from the USA. Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, Olympic

bronze medallist in Beijing. Silver medallist in the world

championships in 2009. Since then she has given birth to her first

baby. Not the athlete that she once was but she is still a very, very

fast data. And a very fine had levelled up and her a surprise

Olympic finalist, Beate Schrott from Austria. Kellie Wells is

leading the Diamond League standings by just two points from

Dawn Harper. I do not think anyone else is in with a chance with

getting in amongst them. Virginia Crawford, perhaps. Kellie Wells is

pacing around, Dawn Harper, a very solid performer on these big

occasions. Phylicia George of Canada is there as well, and

Jessica Zelinka, we have not seen her. She figured highly on the

heptathlon scoring tables alongside Jessica Ennis in the very first

event of up Olympic heptathlon, she finished in 7th place overall. But

she was an Olympic 100 metres hurdles finalist. It is going to be

between Kellie Wells in lane four and Dawn Harper in lane five. But

we have seen it surprises in the but so did Dawn Harper and a --

Dawn Harper alongside her. They are pulling away now. Virginia Crawford

is coming on strong but Dawn Harper, she comes through. Bursts through

the middle. She won it clearly in the end, 12.58 seconds. A

tremendous run in the end by Dawn Harper. She kept their

concentration, kept her focus and she gets the money as well. You

never used to see you celebrate like that, Colin! I would no way

have done that! If I did a cut well I would never run again. These

ladies enjoy the competition, enjoy it running against each other. We

like to see these head-to-heads. They go from gun to tape, flat out.

Dawn Harper has had a cracking season. She will look back at 20

Clarke and will not be disappointed. -- she will look back at this year.

A silver medal, personal best and now, still looking very good.

Kellie Wells, she was aggressive into the first hurdle. She had a

here and win the diamond. But also she knew she had to perform well

because this field is stacked, loaded with talented women. It is a

tough race, but Dawn Harper came through, took the victory well. The

second place was Queen Harrison, by the looks of it and Kellie Wells

sneaked in to get the third place. A good performance all round. I

think they will be pretty happy with their season on reflection,

all of them. They won record going back to the winter, it getting

strong and fit, and had been making give Sally Pearson a run for her

give Sally Pearson a run for her money. -- hoping they can give

money. -- hoping they can give Wells, and there are the Diamond

League standings. Dawn Harper, Kellie Wells, Queen Harrison, again

the United States is so strong in this event.

On the far side of the arena, the lock -- long jump is going on. The

Russian won a silver medal in the world championships last season.

She won the Oslo Diamond League earlier run and this is a good

simple hanging technique, as sales over. The super imposed line there

is signifiers first place. It looks a very long jump indeed. It is!

6.79. Shara Proctor of course, who broke the British record earlier on

this year, which had stood for 20 audience. She jumped 6.95. You had

a disappointing Olympics, she only finished in 9th place. She is

getting closer and closer it took the lead of the Russian. Again,

when she takes off, there is no elaborate technique. A very simple

sailing, hanging technique in the air. She is very quick on the

runway. Providing she gets a good take-off, the distance will come.

It is close, 6.72, in second. Yelena Sokolova is next. Olympics

or medallists and she won in Lausanne recently. -- Olympic

silver medallist. A good acceleration and that is a massive

jump. Close to seven metres. And in these conditions, that is superb.

So strong on take-off. My goodness! She did not make a mark in the past

the scene, so that means it is a valid jump. -- she did not make a

mark on the board. It has got to be over, it is 6.92, that will be

tough to beat. Russia at the moment are flying in the long jump.

The last individual track event is the men's 5000 metres. We still

have a very exciting 4x100 relate to finish off. These men might

enjoy these conditions more than anyone tonight. It is chilly, but

there is very little wind and the rain has stopped. At last! It has

metres, and Gebremeskel, who chased Mo Farah home in the 5000 metres.

He leads this 5000 metre event. But it is up for grabs here, because he

only has eight points. There are the men in the event that has seven

behind Mo Farah in the Olympics. What have these four men got in

common? As I was beginning to tell you... The 5,000 metres in Paris

before the Olympics, a very quick race. We have five men of that race

here tonight. We are expecting -- were expecting six of them, but

Gebrhiwet did not turn up. Gebremeskel, helicopter and the

rest were very fast. -- Kipkoech. Lagat, he is made pack. He is

expected to run quickly denied. -- are asked to take 1,000 metres each.

They are the three men in front. We need the field to get closer to

supposedly going to take them through the pace in the first 1,000

metres. That is closer to 12.40 pace. Gebremeskel in second place

looking very comfortable. This will be a dangerous race and he will be

happy with this sort of pace. The pacemakers coming back to them.

They head towards the line for the first time. So Cheboi still leading.

This very tough Ethiopian, Merga, running just behind Bekele. Just

under 10 laps to go now. Just a little slower than they would have

liked. They are looking at about the 2.32 for the first 1,000 metres.

It is very well stretched out. A little slow through the first 800m.

A little slower than expected. The pacemaker is realising that and

picking it up. You have got a Koech, Gebremeskel, and Galen Rupp is

looking for a good performance today. There has been so much going

on in the stadium. We are just watching the javelin. That was

NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS. And he takes the lead. -- Antti

Ruuskanen. In normal dry conditions, still conditions, they would have

no problems at all. But he is another Finn who takes on this

finish of falling flat on his face. It is supposed to be quite

effective, not recommended for youngsters. Antti Ruuskanen is in

the lead. Now, a chance for Tero Pitkamaki. He was disappointed in

the Olympics, finishing in 5th. Since then, he has got better and

better, produced a season's best of over 86 metres recently. And...

That, too, is long, not as long as Ruuskanen. At the moment, the two

men who are leading the javelin in first and second place are not the

people you might have expected. Trevett of the Czech Republic is

the Diamond League leader at the moment. But 82.68, he's definitely

in second place and putting the pressure on his team-mate. What a

fantastic jump it was by the Russian. Yelena Sokolova jumping.

She is trying to conserve a bit of energy and she hits the board well.

She doesn't get a lot of height off the board. Just to let you know

that Brittney Reese, the Olympic Long Jump champion, retired after

her second jump. She only jumped 6.31 in the first round, but she

has had a recurrence of an injury which eventually led to a stress

fracture some time ago. She does not want a repeat of that. 6.89 for

Sokolova. She is very much in the lead in this Diamond League final.

Now, a chance for Pitkamaki. He needs something in excess of 83

metres. That is good. It is clear of the 85-metre line. Just when

people thought this javelin competition was just dying on its

feet a little bit, Pitkamaki comes out with a season's best throw.

That has thrown the cat amongst the pigeons. He is still down in terms

of Diamond League points, but he is taking this competition. That is

fantastic from Pitkamaki. Well, what can this guy do to respond? He

thought he had this competition won, he followed that with a foul, and

now he has got to produce the performance of his life. He has

given it everything, but it is not going to be far enough. Tero

Pitkamaki, Olympic bronze-medallist, back in 2008, a little wry smile on

his face that says, hey, I am still around. He is only 29 years old, he

has got a few years left at this top level, but things haven't gone

his way this year. He desperately wanted that Olympic title. That of

course went to the junior, Walcott, of Trinidad and Tobago. A massive

surprise. Now, what can Shara Proctor do? She is in 4th place.

Fantastic jumping by Yelena Sokolova, the Russian. She has been

superb. And Shara Proctor's best jump so far, 6.72. Can she produce

something special? It is not bad! Has she got a white flag? That

would be a superb finish. Yes, she has nailed it. The distance is

going to be very interesting. I think Sokolova is still in the lead.

And Shara Proctor, 6.8, she must into third place. Back with the

5,000 metres. It has been a little disappointing, to be honest. The

pace making hasn't been clever. Koech, he was leading, he wasn't

prepared to stay close to the pacemakers. They have been running

63 second laps. That previous lap was the quickest, 62.2, but that

was because the pacemaker was going to pop out. They are starting to

warm up a little, but they are not heading for the sort of time we

were expecting. Hail, then Gebremeskel, we have got Lagat, a

little bit further back, we have expecting, which is why so many men

are in contention. It will be a last quick couple of laps. There

was a disqualification in the Steeplechase earlier on. This has

just been brought last, we apologise it has just come now.

This is the winner. By being disqualified, she loses tonight's

prize-money and also the 40,000 dollar prize. Lack of concentration,

to go wrong turn, has been disqualified. That was Assefa. Back

to the 5,000. This may well be the last lap that we see Chepkok

leading, he has done a reasonable job leading. 61.93. That is why

they are stretched out. Longosiwa, Lagat, he is working. Rupp is

looking tired. Athletes passing him. Chepkok is grinding out the yards.

Koech is looking comfortable in second. Gebremeskel, he has been

there since the beginning. The pacemaker is gone. And that is

Sokolova in the Long Jump. We are coming up to the closing stages of

the Long Jump. Everybody has challenged Okagbare, 6.85. And the

only athlete capable of getting close to Sokolova, in the end. But

here is the winner. Can she put the icing on top of the cake? She goes

for it. And that is a foul, but Sokolova, the winner of the Diamond

League standings as far as the Long Jump is concerned. And back to the

5,000 metres. Gathering now, 700 metres to go. Koech, Longosiwa,

Gebremeskel on the outside. Lagat. The young 18-year-old Ethiopian,

Demelash, just on the outside. His head is rocking and rolling just a

little bit. Hot ball is getting closer. Gebremeskel is getting

was frustrated with his race in the Olympics. And he looks dangerous.

He has got his head down. He just eases on to the shoulder of the

leader. The pace is picking up gradually. Koech is digging in, the

tall of the two, but Gebremeskel is the man who has got a sprint finish.

300 metres to go it is still Koech and Gebremeskel. Longosiwa as well.

They were all involved in the sprint in the 5,000 metres. And

Gebremeskel came out the best. Bekele going backwards. At the

front, Koech, trying to hold off Gebremeskel. Longosiwa on the

inside. Koech striking from the front. A little stumble from

Longosiwa. Gebremeskel left it too late. Koech is being rewarded. He

has kept the lead. Just inside 13 minutes. Lagat takes the third.

Well, Koech was the anyone interested in it. He was the one

who was there to be shot up, particularly with 600 metres to go.

He perhaps deserve that victory. Gebremeskel it, well, a little

tired perhaps after all of his exploits at the Olympic Games.

There is your winner. Not as quick as we thought it would be tonight,

nonetheless, under 13 minutes. bad for an 18-year-old, though, is

that? Koech put it in the hard yards. That was in the beginning,

the middle and the end. Longosiwa tried to make it through on the

inside. Gebremeskel, I thought, had more to give at the end. It was

Bernard Lagat who started to come through. No doubt about the winner.

Using boulders here with me. How much has tonight it giving back to

the fans can smack it is all about that. It has been a long season, it

has been up-and-down. We are thinking about the fans, they said

they wanted me to come to the meeting. I love it here. Even in

this rain, you put a good time together a. I know what they want

to see. I come out and give my best always because without them, there

would be no Usain Bolt. For me, I am happy to perform. I saw you at

Old Trafford last week. Manchester United won, in the end. Do you

think you could play for Sir Alex Ferguson? Definitely! I think I can

do a good job. He said, if I am very interested and I want to come

to train with the guys, I can. So I will see what I can do. Midfield?

don't know. They've got a lot of midfielders at the moment. They've

also got Ryan Giggs. I think I will be a winner and I will do a good

job. Ryan Giggs will be moving on I think he is deadly serious about

playing for Manchester United. He has got another athletics needs to

go before then, he is in Brussels and we are as well, Friday 7pm. He

is raising up to 100 metres next week. As much as he is enjoying

going back here, he is also enjoying putting his feet up.

he deserves it! It is amazing when someone accomplishes everything

they set out to do. This one was not about Times, it was about

becoming a super legend. It was delivered -- he has delivered a on

that. The second part of that, being that famous and dominant, it

is what to give back to people and he knows how to do that.

witnessed its here, he was around and signing autographs for the

young people and giving them the experience of Usain Bolt. I think

that very special. Another man -- athlete who has had a good season

is Sanya Richards-Ross. The end of a great season, how you feeling?

And feeling good. I accomplished remain goal this season at the

Olympics but I really enjoy it running at Zurich. This is my 6th

time racing and winning, I had a really good energy here. I am happy

to end my season on a high note. has been a fantastic season, the

highlight at the Olympic Games. I had been dreaming about that

since I was nine years old. To finally be living my dream, I am

still cloud nine. Go home and have some time off, enjoy it. Thank you

Koech being the winner. Bernard lagger at, hoping to go quicker.

But he has a season's best. So we are going to finish off with the

traditional xeric 4x100 relay. A strong team for Great Britain being

led by Christian Malcolm. Americans have a strong quartet. Dwain

Chambers on the back straight for GB, and I am told that he ran

earlier, so did Adam Jimmy Lee, he will bring him home. -- Adam Kay

at the start -- Tyson Gay is on the back straight, then Ryan Bailey. He

had the unenviable task of trying to chase down Usain Bolt in the

year this week in terms of -- a cracking year this year in terms of

the relays. Dwain Chambers actually ran in Slovakia last week, he'd had

that was heard it -- held earlier. It has been a cold evening here in

Zurich, the crowd have done their best as ever. It is always one of

the best atmospheres on the track and field slackest. Then -- the

track and field circuit. When they redesigned the Letzigrund, they

kept be standing sections on the bends. They will go for the

European Championships in 2014, it will be all-seated. 26,000 can fit

in here, I am told. It will be a cracking championships, I am sure.

Already well into the planning phase of that. Let's hope it is a

bit warmer than it is tonight! It has not been typical Zurich weather.

Italy on the inside, Germany into Mecca, Great Britain in three,

Jamaica Inn for, it just might -- United States in Five, Switzerland

six, and evidence in seven and Great Britain after a good start, a

bit twitchy and he did not get out of the blocks well. A safe

changeover, to Dwain Chambers. Everyone has got a bat on a cross

safely, American are looking good. Tyson Gay going around the top bend,

Jamaica in between him between USA and Britain. Gemili is chasing Ryan

Bailey. Bailey is running away. The USA will win it, USA first,

Jamaica's second, Great Britain third. A good performance from the

British quartet. Not the best American or Jamaican team, but they

are still pretty good. 38.01 clocking on a chilly night, not bad.

Great Britain have got the baton around, Harry! One thing we can say,

or joking aside, it is not a joking matter about a Great Britain and

the batter on. With the likes of Gemili and the younger sprinters

coming through, if he is on the last leg for us in the future, then

we are always going to be in with a chance for a medal. He is going to

be a very good anchorman for us in the years to come. He has already

developed very class act at the moment. The winners, even before

the result is confirmed, getting the Zurich Trophy. Let's have a

look at it again. It was all about the USA and Jamaica, but Christian

Malcolm got great Britain up to their usual solid start. The second

leg for Jamaica was Jason Young. That was actually the last leg

there. At this point, you could have been forgiven for thinking

that Adam Gemili actually had a chance, running against Bailey, who

beat him in the individual event, just. The very tall figure of Ryan

Bailey, 5th in the Olympic final, he is a find sprinter, he is a sub

10 second man, all the way home for the USA. Great Britain, the likes

of Dwain Chambers. He is just having looked across at the

Italians who fell. That was after the changeover. He hands it on to

donate all but. He ran it in 1045. This is where the problem appeared

in the Olympics. The changeover between tall but burnt Gemili. He

gets it safely this time. And that is all that matters. As you say,

give Gemili the baton and he will do the business. Congratulations of

is the to the USA, well done to Jamaica, and congratulations to the

Great Britain quartet who are in third place. 38.3 for the British

quartet. A fairly solid American team got the victory. A bit of

prize money -- prize-money for this, they were happy with their night's

We have got plenty of great sport coming up for you, next Friday it

is this final Diamond League of the season, 7:00pm in Brussels. On

Saturday, at 2:30pm, world sprint and Team Championships of the

triathlon. Danny Brown they went in that, highlights for that. -- Jerry

Brown the point -- Jonathan Bramley. Three of Our equestrian winning

team will be at the Horse trials on Sunday. After the break, grand prix

action is back, qualifying is at 10 I am surrounded by happy athlete.

Congratulations, Adam, how much of a relief, to get it round and get

good results? It feels good, we got it round. We knew in the Olympics

we were in go to shape and we could have got a medal. But things

happened, it is nice to come here and show we can get around and

compete with the USA and Jamaica. And you did, a top-three finish.

was great to be here. We wanted to make amends for what happened at

the Games, we are all related, it is looking to get the baton around.

A great way to end the season and some prize money. It will be nice,

some change to spend! These ones will be parting, asked all the men

will be investing in our kids! -- asked aldermen will be investing in

our kids. Enjoy your evening and your time of, well done for what

must be a relief of a performance. After what happened at the Olympics.

Lovely to see them smiling and getting the battle around, knowing

they can see it, psychologically an important hurdle to overcome.

a definite psychological boost for them. They did run well in London,

apart from that blip coming out of the box. If this team can really

gel, they can go on to do better things. It has been have disastrous

year for British male sprinting. Let's talk about highlights, Robbie

Grabarz gave another great performance, he won the Diamond

League overall, a bronze medal at the Olympics, European champion.

is a cracking season! There is no two ways about it. For him to come

and compete against the best of the world were on a regular basis is

way you get your confidence from, you draw confidence from that. This

is what you need. He now thinks he can win. Two years ago when he

started off, he never believed that. Now he is in a real good place.

Yohan Blake is going to have an interesting season next year.

Depending on where Usain Bolt decides to race, he is getting

faster and faster in the 100 metres, defending world champion into next

year. Absolutely, every time he steps on the track, we come to

expect what he is capable of. His times are getting quicker, he is

going -- gaining in confidence. He is the man to watch next year.

Disappointment for David Rudisha, conditions never ride for a world

record but just the pace did not lend itself. Not at all. You get an

experienced runner like this, you kick -- expected to hang on in for

the victory but it did not work out well. We are highly critical, this

time were still one minute for to to come are still sensational. --
