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

:00:50.:00:54.

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

:00:54.:00:58.

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

:00:58.:01:04.

seems to get more attention than the next.

:01:04.:01:10.

The moment of truth has finally arrived.

:01:10.:01:16.

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

:01:16.:01:23.

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

:01:23.:01:31.

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

:01:31.:01:36.

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

:01:36.:01:46.

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

:01:46.:01:53.

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

:01:53.:02:02.

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

:02:02.:02:09.

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

:02:10.:02:16.

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

:02:16.:02:21.

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

:02:21.:02:28.

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

:02:28.:02:35.

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

:02:35.:02:40.

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

:02:40.:02:45.

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

:02:45.:02:49.

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

:02:49.:02:53.

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

:02:53.:02:57.

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

:02:57.:03:02.

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

:03:02.:03:06.

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

:03:06.:03:13.

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

:03:13.:03:17.

enjoy being here because of the audience. There are very

:03:17.:03:20.

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

:03:20.:03:24.

very good atmosphere for the athletes. So expect special

:03:24.:03:34.
:03:34.:03:36.

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

:03:36.:03:46.
:03:46.:03:51.

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

:03:51.:04:00.

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

:04:00.:04:10.
:04:10.:04:11.

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

:04:11.:04:15.

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

:04:15.:04:20.

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

:04:20.:04:25.

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

:04:25.:04:35.
:04:35.:04:38.

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

:04:38.:04:46.

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

:04:46.:04:56.
:04:56.:04:58.

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

:04:58.:05:06.

meaning winning your discipline across the Diamond -- Diamond

:05:06.:05:12.

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

:05:12.:05:22.
:05:22.:05:25.

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

:05:25.:05:32.

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

:05:32.:05:36.

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

:05:36.:05:40.

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

:05:40.:05:50.
:05:50.:05:59.

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

:05:59.:06:08.

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

:06:08.:06:18.

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

:06:18.:06:26.

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

:06:26.:06:31.

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

:06:31.:06:41.
:06:41.:06:44.

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

:06:44.:06:50.

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

:06:50.:06:54.

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

:06:55.:07:03.

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

:07:03.:07:08.

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

:07:09.:07:14.

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

:07:14.:07:22.

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

:07:22.:07:27.

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

:07:27.:07:33.

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

:07:33.:07:37.

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

:07:37.:07:42.

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

:07:42.:07:46.

runners will have problems sustaining their links. There was

:07:46.:07:53.

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

:07:53.:07:59.

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

:07:59.:08:09.
:08:09.:08:10.

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

:08:10.:08:14.

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

:08:14.:08:17.

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

:08:17.:08:27.
:08:27.:08:29.

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

:08:29.:08:36.

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

:08:36.:08:42.

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

:08:42.:08:49.

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

:08:49.:08:59.
:08:59.:09:00.

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

:09:00.:09:10.
:09:10.:09:13.

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

:09:13.:09:21.

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

:09:21.:09:28.

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

:09:28.:09:33.

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

:09:33.:09:39.

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

:09:39.:09:49.
:09:49.:09:50.

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

:09:50.:09:54.

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

:09:54.:09:59.

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

:09:59.:10:05.

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

:10:05.:10:14.

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

:10:14.:10:21.

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

:10:21.:10:28.

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

:10:28.:10:33.

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

:10:33.:10:37.

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

:10:37.:10:42.

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

:10:42.:10:46.

Olympic Games, the most stunning athletic performance. A world

:10:46.:10:51.

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

:10:51.:10:57.

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

:10:57.:11:07.
:11:07.:11:08.

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

:11:08.:11:14.

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

:11:14.:11:19.

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

:11:19.:11:27.

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

:11:27.:11:36.

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

:11:36.:11:45.

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

:11:45.:11:50.

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

:11:50.:12:00.
:12:00.:12:01.

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

:12:01.:12:04.

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

:12:04.:12:09.

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

:12:09.:12:15.

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

:12:15.:12:20.

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

:12:20.:12:28.

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

:12:28.:12:33.

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

:12:33.:12:36.

that says she has the Diamond League leader.

:12:36.:12:42.

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

:12:42.:12:48.

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

:12:48.:12:56.

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

:12:56.:13:02.

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

:13:02.:13:10.

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

:13:10.:13:18.

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

:13:18.:13:28.

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

:13:28.:13:34.

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

:13:34.:13:44.
:13:44.:13:44.

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

:13:44.:13:50.

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

:13:50.:14:00.
:14:00.:14:00.

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

:14:01.:14:10.
:14:11.:14:11.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:14:11.:15:03.

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

:15:03.:15:09.

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

:15:10.:15:19.
:15:20.:15:24.

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

:15:24.:15:28.

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

:15:28.:15:38.
:15:38.:15:40.

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

:15:40.:15:45.

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

:15:45.:15:49.

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

:15:49.:15:53.

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

:15:53.:16:01.

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

:16:01.:16:07.

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

:16:07.:16:11.

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

:16:11.:16:17.

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

:16:17.:16:21.

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

:16:21.:16:26.

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

:16:26.:16:34.

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

:16:34.:16:43.

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

:16:43.:16:48.

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

:16:48.:16:58.
:16:58.:17:02.

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

:17:02.:17:07.

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

:17:07.:17:13.

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

:17:13.:17:17.

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

:17:17.:17:23.

were totally wrong. She absolutely dominated the opposition there.

:17:23.:17:27.

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

:17:27.:17:32.

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

:17:32.:17:38.

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

:17:38.:17:42.

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

:17:42.:17:46.

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

:17:46.:17:50.

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

:17:50.:17:55.

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

:17:55.:18:01.

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

:18:01.:18:04.

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

:18:04.:18:08.

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

:18:08.:18:14.

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

:18:14.:18:20.

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

:18:20.:18:26.

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

:18:26.:18:30.

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

:18:30.:18:36.

deliver a great performance. Carmelita Jeter takes second place

:18:36.:18:42.

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

:18:42.:18:49.

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

:18:49.:18:54.

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

:18:54.:18:59.

here in Zurich. She made that look quite easy.

:18:59.:19:06.

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

:19:06.:19:10.

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

:19:10.:19:14.

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

:19:14.:19:20.

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

:19:20.:19:24.

Nothing wrong and Colin intimated that. Sometimes athletes hear

:19:24.:19:29.

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

:19:29.:19:33.

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

:19:33.:19:37.

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

:19:37.:19:44.

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

:19:44.:19:49.

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

:19:49.:19:54.

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

:19:54.:20:00.

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

:20:00.:20:07.

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

:20:07.:20:15.

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

:20:15.:20:25.
:20:25.:20:25.

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

:20:25.:20:30.

Tomasz Majewski the Olympic champion.

:20:30.:20:36.

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

:20:36.:20:40.

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

:20:40.:20:46.

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

:20:46.:20:52.

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

:20:52.:20:56.

diamond lead and the individual competition here, with that

:20:56.:21:02.

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

:21:02.:21:07.

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

:21:07.:21:11.

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

:21:11.:21:16.

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

:21:16.:21:23.

Olympic champion Christian Taylor. Christian Taylor won the diamond

:21:23.:21:29.

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

:21:29.:21:34.

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

:21:34.:21:39.

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

:21:39.:21:43.

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

:21:43.:21:46.

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

:21:46.:21:53.

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

:21:53.:21:58.

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

:21:58.:22:03.

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

:22:03.:22:07.

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

:22:07.:22:16.

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

:22:16.:22:20.

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

:22:20.:22:26.

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

:22:26.:22:30.

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

:22:30.:22:36.

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

:22:36.:22:39.

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

:22:39.:22:47.

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

:22:47.:22:53.

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

:22:53.:22:59.

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

:22:59.:23:04.

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

:23:04.:23:08.

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

:23:08.:23:14.

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

:23:14.:23:18.

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

:23:18.:23:23.

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

:23:23.:23:26.

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

:23:26.:23:30.

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

:23:30.:23:36.

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

:23:37.:23:40.

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

:23:40.:23:47.

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

:23:47.:23:52.

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

:23:52.:24:00.

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

:24:00.:24:05.

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

:24:05.:24:11.

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

:24:11.:24:19.

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

:24:19.:24:23.

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

:24:23.:24:27.

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

:24:27.:24:34.

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

:24:34.:24:44.
:24:44.:24:53.

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

:24:53.:25:00.

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

:25:00.:25:09.

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

:25:09.:25:13.

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

:25:13.:25:17.

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

:25:17.:25:27.
:25:27.:25:28.

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

:25:28.:25:34.

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

:25:34.:25:37.

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

:25:37.:25:40.

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

:25:41.:25:46.

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

:25:46.:25:51.

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

:25:51.:25:58.

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

:25:58.:26:03.

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

:26:03.:26:07.

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

:26:08.:26:10.

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

:26:10.:26:16.

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

:26:16.:26:21.

the one kilometre mark. The Ukrainian pacemaker took them

:26:21.:26:26.

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

:26:26.:26:32.

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

:26:32.:26:37.

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

:26:37.:26:42.

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

:26:42.:26:46.

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

:26:47.:26:52.

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

:26:53.:26:57.

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

:26:58.:27:03.

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

:27:03.:27:07.

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

:27:07.:27:12.

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

:27:12.:27:21.

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

:27:21.:27:27.

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

:27:27.:27:33.

for. British supporters will be watching

:27:33.:27:41.

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

:27:41.:27:46.

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

:27:46.:27:50.

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

:27:50.:28:00.
:28:00.:28:01.

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

:28:01.:28:11.

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

:28:11.:28:19.

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

:28:19.:28:23.

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

:28:23.:28:33.
:28:33.:28:33.

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

:28:33.:28:36.

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

:28:37.:28:44.

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

:28:44.:28:52.

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

:28:52.:28:58.

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

:28:58.:29:02.

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

:29:02.:29:12.
:29:12.:29:13.

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

:29:13.:29:18.

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

:29:18.:29:28.

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

:29:28.:29:34.

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

:29:34.:29:38.

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

:29:38.:29:43.

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

:29:43.:29:50.

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

:29:50.:29:54.

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

:29:54.:30:00.

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

:30:00.:30:07.

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

:30:07.:30:12.

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

:30:13.:30:22.
:30:23.:30:28.

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

:30:28.:30:35.

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

:30:36.:30:40.

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

:30:40.:30:48.

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

:30:48.:30:54.

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

:30:54.:31:00.

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

:31:00.:31:08.

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

:31:08.:31:14.

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

:31:14.:31:22.

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

:31:22.:31:26.

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

:31:26.:31:36.
:31:36.:31:36.

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

:31:36.:31:41.

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

:31:41.:31:51.

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

:31:51.:31:54.

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

:31:54.:32:00.

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

:32:00.:32:08.

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

:32:08.:32:18.
:32:18.:32:20.

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

:32:20.:32:27.

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

:32:27.:32:33.

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

:32:33.:32:35.

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

:32:35.:32:40.

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

:32:40.:32:47.

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

:32:47.:32:53.

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

:32:53.:32:58.

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

:32:58.:33:05.

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

:33:05.:33:09.

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

:33:09.:33:14.

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

:33:14.:33:24.
:33:24.:33:26.

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

:33:26.:33:36.

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

:33:36.:33:42.

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

:33:42.:33:52.
:33:52.:33:55.

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

:33:55.:33:59.

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

:33:59.:34:05.

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

:34:05.:34:15.
:34:15.:34:18.

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

:34:18.:34:25.

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

:34:25.:34:29.

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

:34:29.:34:36.

following the script everybody thought would happen. And down the

:34:36.:34:45.

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

:34:46.:34:49.

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

:34:49.:34:54.

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

:34:54.:35:02.

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

:35:02.:35:12.
:35:12.:35:17.

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

:35:17.:35:27.
:35:27.:35:28.

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

:35:28.:35:31.

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

:35:32.:35:37.

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

:35:37.:35:43.

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

:35:43.:35:51.

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

:35:51.:35:55.

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

:35:55.:36:01.

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

:36:01.:36:07.

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

:36:07.:36:17.
:36:17.:36:25.

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

:36:25.:36:35.
:36:35.:36:35.

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

:36:35.:36:41.

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

:36:41.:36:46.

that world record is becoming very difficult to beat.

:36:46.:36:51.

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

:36:51.:36:55.

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

:36:56.:37:00.

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

:37:00.:37:05.

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

:37:05.:37:09.

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

:37:09.:37:14.

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

:37:14.:37:20.

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

:37:20.:37:26.

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

:37:26.:37:32.

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

:37:32.:37:36.

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

:37:36.:37:42.

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

:37:42.:37:49.

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

:37:49.:37:53.

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

:37:53.:37:58.

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

:37:58.:38:02.

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

:38:02.:38:12.
:38:12.:38:17.

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

:38:17.:38:27.

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

:38:27.:38:33.

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

:38:33.:38:38.

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

:38:38.:38:45.

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

:38:45.:38:50.

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

:38:50.:38:54.

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

:38:54.:39:00.

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

:39:00.:39:05.

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

:39:05.:39:10.

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

:39:10.:39:20.
:39:20.:39:20.

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

:39:20.:39:25.

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

:39:25.:39:32.

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

:39:32.:39:42.
:39:42.:39:42.

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

:39:42.:39:48.

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

:39:48.:39:53.

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

:39:53.:39:58.

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

:39:58.:40:02.

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

:40:02.:40:07.

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

:40:07.:40:12.

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

:40:12.:40:18.

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

:40:18.:40:27.

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

:40:27.:40:32.

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

:40:32.:40:38.

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

:40:39.:40:43.

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

:40:43.:40:51.

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

:40:51.:40:59.

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

:40:59.:41:04.

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

:41:04.:41:13.

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

:41:13.:41:19.

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

:41:19.:41:26.

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

:41:26.:41:31.

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

:41:31.:41:40.

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

:41:40.:41:48.

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

:41:48.:41:57.

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

:41:57.:42:04.

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

:42:04.:42:10.

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

:42:10.:42:17.

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

:42:17.:42:26.

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

:42:26.:42:31.

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

:42:31.:42:41.
:42:41.:42:44.

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

:42:44.:42:49.

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

:42:49.:42:55.

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

:42:55.:43:05.
:43:05.:43:09.

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

:43:09.:43:19.
:43:19.:43:30.

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

:43:30.:43:35.

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

:43:35.:43:41.

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

:43:41.:43:45.

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

:43:45.:43:55.
:43:55.:44:01.

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

:44:01.:44:07.

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

:44:07.:44:14.

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

:44:14.:44:20.

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

:44:20.:44:24.

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

:44:24.:44:32.

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

:44:32.:44:37.

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

:44:37.:44:41.

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

:44:41.:44:50.

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

:44:50.:45:00.
:45:00.:45:04.

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

:45:05.:45:13.

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

:45:13.:45:19.

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

:45:19.:45:25.

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

:45:25.:45:30.

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

:45:30.:45:34.

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

:45:34.:45:42.

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

:45:42.:45:52.
:45:52.:46:00.

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

:46:00.:46:03.

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

:46:03.:46:08.

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

:46:08.:46:13.

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

:46:13.:46:19.

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

:46:19.:46:27.

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

:46:27.:46:37.
:46:37.:46:40.

a height that Stephen Lewis attended as well along with four

:46:40.:46:47.

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

:46:47.:46:52.

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

:46:52.:46:57.

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

:46:57.:47:03.

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

:47:03.:47:13.
:47:13.:47:18.

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

:47:18.:47:23.

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

:47:23.:47:27.

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

:47:27.:47:31.

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

:47:31.:47:36.

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

:47:36.:47:44.

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

:47:44.:47:49.

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

:47:50.:47:55.

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

:47:55.:48:00.

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

:48:00.:48:05.

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

:48:05.:48:13.

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

:48:13.:48:23.
:48:23.:48:27.

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

:48:27.:48:37.
:48:37.:49:05.

have run 9.8 but not won a medal in a major championship. He finished

:49:05.:49:15.
:49:15.:49:16.

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

:49:16.:49:21.

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

:49:21.:49:26.

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

:49:26.:49:36.
:49:36.:49:56.

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

:49:56.:50:03.

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

:50:03.:50:09.

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

:50:09.:50:13.

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

:50:13.:50:22.

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

:50:22.:50:28.

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

:50:28.:50:36.

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

:50:36.:50:45.

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

:50:45.:50:51.

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

:50:51.:50:55.

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

:50:55.:50:59.

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

:50:59.:51:04.

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

:51:04.:51:07.

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

:51:07.:51:17.
:51:17.:51:22.

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

:51:22.:51:27.

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

:51:27.:51:32.

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

:51:32.:51:37.

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

:51:37.:51:43.

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

:51:43.:51:47.

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

:51:47.:51:52.

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

:51:53.:51:59.

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

:51:59.:52:09.
:52:09.:52:18.

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

:52:18.:52:22.

was dropped by his Olympic Committee because he said he

:52:22.:52:32.
:52:32.:52:40.

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

:52:40.:52:47.

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

:52:47.:52:54.

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

:52:54.:53:01.

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

:53:01.:53:06.

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

:53:06.:53:12.

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

:53:12.:53:18.

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

:53:18.:53:28.
:53:28.:53:35.

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

:53:35.:53:40.

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

:53:41.:53:44.

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

:53:44.:53:51.

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

:53:51.:54:01.
:54:01.:54:18.

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

:54:19.:54:23.

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

:54:23.:54:27.

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

:54:27.:54:30.

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

:54:30.:54:35.

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

:54:35.:54:39.

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

:54:39.:54:49.
:54:49.:54:56.

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

:54:56.:55:06.
:55:06.:55:08.

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

:55:08.:55:14.

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

:55:14.:55:19.

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

:55:19.:55:25.

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

:55:25.:55:30.

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

:55:30.:55:36.

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

:55:36.:55:42.

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

:55:42.:55:50.

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

:55:50.:55:53.

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

:55:53.:55:58.

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

:55:58.:56:01.

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

:56:01.:56:06.

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

:56:06.:56:10.

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

:56:10.:56:14.

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

:56:14.:56:18.

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

:56:18.:56:22.

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

:56:22.:56:26.

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

:56:26.:56:30.

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

:56:30.:56:34.

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

:56:34.:56:38.

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

:56:38.:56:42.

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

:56:42.:56:46.

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

:56:46.:56:55.

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

:56:55.:57:00.

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

:57:00.:57:10.
:57:10.:57:12.

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

:57:12.:57:18.

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

:57:18.:57:28.
:57:28.:57:29.

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

:57:29.:57:33.

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

:57:33.:57:37.

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

:57:37.:57:42.

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

:57:42.:57:49.

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

:57:49.:57:54.

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

:57:54.:58:03.

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

:58:03.:58:13.
:58:13.:58:26.

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

:58:26.:58:33.

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

:58:33.:58:37.

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

:58:37.:58:42.

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

:58:42.:58:46.

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

:58:46.:58:51.

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

:58:51.:58:56.

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

:58:56.:59:04.

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

:59:04.:59:10.

Christine went to Birmingham and finished second to Rosemarie Whyte.

:59:10.:59:20.
:59:20.:59:28.

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

:59:28.:59:32.

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

:59:32.:59:38.

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

:59:38.:59:43.

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

:59:43.:59:51.

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

:59:51.:59:57.

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

:59:57.:00:01.

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

:00:01.:00:06.

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

:00:06.:00:09.

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

:00:09.:00:14.

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

:00:14.:00:18.

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

:00:18.:00:21.

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

:00:21.:00:27.

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

:00:27.:00:37.
:00:37.:00:53.

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

:00:53.:01:02.

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

:01:02.:01:05.

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

:01:05.:01:13.

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

:01:13.:01:21.

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

:01:22.:01:26.

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

:01:26.:01:31.

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

:01:31.:01:36.

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

:01:36.:01:43.

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

:01:43.:01:49.

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

:01:49.:01:56.

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

:01:56.:02:00.

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

:02:00.:02:06.

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

:02:06.:02:16.
:02:16.:02:20.

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

:02:20.:02:24.

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

:02:24.:02:29.

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

:02:29.:02:37.

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

:02:37.:02:43.

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

:02:43.:02:47.

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

:02:47.:02:51.

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

:02:51.:03:01.
:03:01.:03:02.

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

:03:02.:03:05.

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

:03:05.:03:10.

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

:03:10.:03:17.

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

:03:17.:03:23.

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

:03:23.:03:30.

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

:03:30.:03:40.
:03:40.:03:57.

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

:03:57.:04:03.

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

:04:03.:04:13.
:04:13.:04:17.

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

:04:17.:04:21.

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

:04:21.:04:31.
:04:31.:04:32.

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

:04:32.:04:42.
:04:42.:04:42.

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

:04:42.:04:51.

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

:04:51.:05:01.
:05:01.:05:10.

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

:05:10.:05:15.

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

:05:15.:05:25.
:05:25.:05:25.

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

:05:25.:05:31.

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

:05:31.:05:41.
:05:41.:05:48.

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

:05:48.:05:52.

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

:05:52.:05:56.

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

:05:56.:06:05.

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

:06:05.:06:11.

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

:06:11.:06:16.

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

:06:16.:06:26.
:06:26.:06:29.

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

:06:29.:06:39.
:06:39.:06:41.

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

:06:41.:06:51.

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

:06:51.:06:58.

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

:06:58.:07:06.

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

:07:06.:07:15.

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

:07:15.:07:21.

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

:07:21.:07:31.
:07:31.:07:31.

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

:07:31.:07:37.

They have been producing some wonderful athletes. And there is

:07:37.:07:47.
:07:47.:07:51.

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

:07:51.:07:56.

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

:07:56.:08:01.

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

:08:01.:08:07.

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

:08:07.:08:15.

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

:08:15.:08:23.

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

:08:23.:08:33.
:08:33.:08:34.

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

:08:34.:08:44.
:08:44.:08:50.

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

:08:50.:09:00.
:09:00.:09:02.

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

:09:02.:09:07.

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

:09:07.:09:16.

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

:09:16.:09:25.

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

:09:25.:09:33.

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

:09:33.:09:43.

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

:09:43.:09:53.
:09:53.:09:54.

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

:09:54.:10:03.

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

:10:03.:10:08.

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

:10:08.:10:15.

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

:10:15.:10:25.
:10:25.:10:37.

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

:10:37.:10:45.

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

:10:46.:10:49.

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

:10:49.:10:59.
:10:59.:11:00.

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

:11:00.:11:03.

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

:11:03.:11:13.
:11:13.:11:22.

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

:11:22.:11:31.

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

:11:31.:11:35.

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

:11:35.:11:42.

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

:11:42.:11:52.
:11:52.:12:09.

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

:12:09.:12:19.
:12:19.:12:20.

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

:12:20.:12:25.

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

:12:25.:12:30.

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

:12:30.:12:40.

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

:12:40.:12:45.

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

:12:45.:12:51.

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

:12:51.:12:56.

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

:12:56.:13:01.

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

:13:01.:13:07.

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

:13:07.:13:11.

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

:13:11.:13:17.

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

:13:17.:13:27.
:13:27.:13:28.

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

:13:28.:13:38.
:13:38.:13:38.

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

:13:38.:13:44.

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

:13:44.:13:47.

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

:13:47.:13:51.

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

:13:51.:13:56.

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

:13:56.:14:02.

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

:14:02.:14:07.

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

:14:07.:14:13.

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

:14:13.:14:19.

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

:14:19.:14:29.
:14:29.:14:43.

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

:14:43.:14:53.
:14:53.:14:54.

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

:14:54.:15:04.
:15:04.:15:15.

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

:15:15.:15:25.
:15:25.:15:53.

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

:15:53.:16:00.

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

:16:00.:16:05.

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

:16:05.:16:13.

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

:16:13.:16:18.

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

:16:18.:16:25.

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

:16:25.:16:30.

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

:16:30.:16:34.

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

:16:34.:16:38.

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

:16:38.:16:46.

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

:16:46.:16:50.

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

:16:50.:16:56.

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

:16:56.:16:59.

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

:17:00.:17:05.

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

:17:05.:17:09.

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

:17:09.:17:14.

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

:17:14.:17:19.

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

:17:19.:17:24.

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

:17:24.:17:29.

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

:17:29.:17:34.

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

:17:34.:17:37.

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

:17:37.:17:43.

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

:17:43.:17:49.

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

:17:49.:17:55.

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

:17:55.:18:02.

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

:18:02.:18:05.

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

:18:05.:18:11.

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

:18:11.:18:16.

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

:18:16.:18:24.

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

:18:24.:18:30.

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

:18:30.:18:38.

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

:18:38.:18:44.

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

:18:44.:18:47.

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

:18:47.:18:51.

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

:18:51.:18:57.

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

:18:57.:19:02.

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

:19:02.:19:06.

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

:19:06.:19:10.

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

:19:10.:19:14.

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

:19:14.:19:24.
:19:24.:19:25.

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

:19:25.:19:31.

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

:19:31.:19:37.

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

:19:37.:19:42.

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

:19:42.:19:46.

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

:19:46.:19:51.

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

:19:51.:19:55.

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

:19:55.:19:59.

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

:19:59.:20:05.

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

:20:05.:20:09.

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

:20:09.:20:13.

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

:20:13.:20:19.

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

:20:19.:20:24.

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

:20:24.:20:29.

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

:20:29.:20:34.

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

:20:34.:20:40.

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

:20:40.:20:45.

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

:20:45.:20:48.

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

:20:48.:20:53.

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

:20:53.:20:55.

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

:20:55.:21:00.

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

:21:00.:21:05.

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

:21:05.:21:10.

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

:21:10.:21:13.

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

:21:13.:21:17.

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

:21:17.:21:23.

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

:21:23.:21:33.
:21:33.:21:53.

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

:21:53.:22:00.

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

:22:00.:22:05.

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

:22:05.:22:11.

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

:22:11.:22:16.

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

:22:16.:22:20.

bronze medallist in Beijing. Silver medallist in the world

:22:20.:22:25.

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

:22:25.:22:29.

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

:22:29.:22:34.

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

:22:34.:22:42.

Olympic finalist, Beate Schrott from Austria. Kellie Wells is

:22:42.:22:44.

leading the Diamond League standings by just two points from

:22:44.:22:48.

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

:22:48.:22:55.

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

:22:55.:22:59.

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

:22:59.:23:06.

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

:23:06.:23:12.

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

:23:12.:23:17.

heptathlon scoring tables alongside Jessica Ennis in the very first

:23:17.:23:21.

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

:23:21.:23:27.

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

:23:27.:23:33.

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

:23:33.:23:43.
:23:43.:23:57.

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

:23:57.:24:02.

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

:24:02.:24:06.

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

:24:06.:24:14.

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

:24:14.:24:17.

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

:24:17.:24:24.

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

:24:24.:24:31.

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

:24:31.:24:35.

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

:24:35.:24:38.

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

:24:38.:24:48.

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

:24:48.:24:52.

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

:24:52.:24:58.

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

:24:58.:25:04.

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

:25:05.:25:09.

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

:25:09.:25:16.

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

:25:16.:25:21.

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

:25:21.:25:25.

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

:25:26.:25:30.

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

:25:30.:25:34.

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

:25:34.:25:38.

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

:25:38.:25:42.

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

:25:42.:25:49.

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

:25:49.:25:51.

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

:25:51.:26:01.
:26:01.:26:06.

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

:26:06.:26:10.

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

:26:10.:26:17.

the United States is so strong in this event.

:26:17.:26:22.

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

:26:22.:26:27.

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

:26:27.:26:31.

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

:26:31.:26:41.
:26:41.:26:48.

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

:26:48.:26:54.

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

:26:54.:27:02.

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

:27:02.:27:09.

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

:27:09.:27:13.

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

:27:13.:27:20.

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

:27:20.:27:28.

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

:27:28.:27:32.

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

:27:32.:27:37.

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

:27:37.:27:47.
:27:47.:27:48.

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

:27:48.:27:53.

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

:27:53.:27:55.

silver medallist. A good acceleration and that is a massive

:27:55.:28:03.

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

:28:03.:28:10.

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

:28:10.:28:14.

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

:28:14.:28:20.

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

:28:20.:28:30.
:28:30.:28:30.

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

:28:30.:28:35.

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

:28:35.:28:42.

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

:28:42.:28:47.

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

:28:47.:28:54.

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

:28:54.:29:04.
:29:04.:29:14.

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

:29:14.:29:19.

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

:29:19.:29:27.

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

:29:27.:29:37.
:29:37.:29:51.

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

:29:51.:30:01.

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

:30:01.:30:08.

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

:30:08.:30:18.

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

:30:18.:30:28.

Gebrhiwet did not turn up. Gebremeskel, helicopter and the

:30:28.:30:37.

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

:30:37.:30:47.
:30:47.:30:51.

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

:30:51.:30:55.

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

:30:55.:31:05.
:31:05.:31:12.

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

:31:12.:31:20.

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

:31:20.:31:27.

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

:31:27.:31:32.

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

:31:32.:31:42.
:31:42.:31:43.

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

:31:43.:31:51.

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

:31:51.:31:58.

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

:31:58.:32:08.
:32:08.:32:10.

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

:32:11.:32:19.

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

:32:19.:32:23.

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

:32:23.:32:33.
:32:33.:32:39.

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

:32:39.:32:46.

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

:32:46.:32:52.

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

:32:52.:32:58.

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

:32:58.:33:05.

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

:33:05.:33:13.

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

:33:13.:33:17.

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

:33:17.:33:22.

effective, not recommended for youngsters. Antti Ruuskanen is in

:33:22.:33:29.

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

:33:29.:33:34.

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

:33:34.:33:40.

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

:33:40.:33:50.
:33:50.:33:51.

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

:33:51.:33:54.

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

:33:54.:33:59.

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

:34:00.:34:09.
:34:10.:34:11.

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

:34:11.:34:17.

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

:34:17.:34:26.

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

:34:26.:34:31.

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

:34:31.:34:38.

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

:34:38.:34:42.

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

:34:42.:34:47.

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

:34:47.:34:53.

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

:34:53.:34:59.

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

:34:59.:35:07.

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

:35:07.:35:15.

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

:35:15.:35:25.
:35:25.:35:29.

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

:35:29.:35:31.

people thought this javelin competition was just dying on its

:35:32.:35:38.

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

:35:38.:35:47.

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

:35:47.:35:55.

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

:35:55.:36:05.
:36:05.:36:06.

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

:36:06.:36:12.

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

:36:12.:36:20.

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

:36:20.:36:27.

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

:36:27.:36:34.

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

:36:34.:36:40.

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

:36:40.:36:45.

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

:36:45.:36:52.

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

:36:52.:36:59.

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

:36:59.:37:07.

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

:37:07.:37:12.

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

:37:12.:37:20.

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

:37:20.:37:30.

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

:37:30.:37:37.

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

:37:37.:37:46.

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

:37:46.:37:55.

And Shara Proctor, 6.8, she must into third place. Back with the

:37:55.:38:01.

5,000 metres. It has been a little disappointing, to be honest. The

:38:01.:38:08.

pace making hasn't been clever. Koech, he was leading, he wasn't

:38:08.:38:18.
:38:18.:38:18.

prepared to stay close to the pacemakers. They have been running

:38:18.:38:23.

63 second laps. That previous lap was the quickest, 62.2, but that

:38:23.:38:29.

was because the pacemaker was going to pop out. They are starting to

:38:29.:38:33.

warm up a little, but they are not heading for the sort of time we

:38:33.:38:42.

were expecting. Hail, then Gebremeskel, we have got Lagat, a

:38:42.:38:52.
:38:52.:39:11.

little bit further back, we have expecting, which is why so many men

:39:11.:39:20.

are in contention. It will be a last quick couple of laps. There

:39:20.:39:23.

was a disqualification in the Steeplechase earlier on. This has

:39:23.:39:33.
:39:33.:39:33.

just been brought last, we apologise it has just come now.

:39:33.:39:39.

This is the winner. By being disqualified, she loses tonight's

:39:39.:39:44.

prize-money and also the 40,000 dollar prize. Lack of concentration,

:39:44.:39:53.

to go wrong turn, has been disqualified. That was Assefa. Back

:39:53.:40:00.

to the 5,000. This may well be the last lap that we see Chepkok

:40:00.:40:10.
:40:10.:40:10.

leading, he has done a reasonable job leading. 61.93. That is why

:40:10.:40:20.

they are stretched out. Longosiwa, Lagat, he is working. Rupp is

:40:20.:40:30.
:40:30.:40:31.

looking tired. Athletes passing him. Chepkok is grinding out the yards.

:40:31.:40:35.

Koech is looking comfortable in second. Gebremeskel, he has been

:40:35.:40:44.

there since the beginning. The pacemaker is gone. And that is

:40:44.:40:48.

Sokolova in the Long Jump. We are coming up to the closing stages of

:40:49.:40:58.
:40:59.:40:59.

the Long Jump. Everybody has challenged Okagbare, 6.85. And the

:41:00.:41:04.

only athlete capable of getting close to Sokolova, in the end. But

:41:04.:41:11.

here is the winner. Can she put the icing on top of the cake? She goes

:41:11.:41:18.

for it. And that is a foul, but Sokolova, the winner of the Diamond

:41:18.:41:22.

League standings as far as the Long Jump is concerned. And back to the

:41:22.:41:32.

5,000 metres. Gathering now, 700 metres to go. Koech, Longosiwa,

:41:32.:41:40.

Gebremeskel on the outside. Lagat. The young 18-year-old Ethiopian,

:41:40.:41:46.

Demelash, just on the outside. His head is rocking and rolling just a

:41:46.:41:50.

little bit. Hot ball is getting closer. Gebremeskel is getting

:41:50.:42:00.
:42:00.:42:10.

was frustrated with his race in the Olympics. And he looks dangerous.

:42:10.:42:17.

He has got his head down. He just eases on to the shoulder of the

:42:17.:42:23.

leader. The pace is picking up gradually. Koech is digging in, the

:42:23.:42:28.

tall of the two, but Gebremeskel is the man who has got a sprint finish.

:42:28.:42:36.

300 metres to go it is still Koech and Gebremeskel. Longosiwa as well.

:42:37.:42:41.

They were all involved in the sprint in the 5,000 metres. And

:42:41.:42:47.

Gebremeskel came out the best. Bekele going backwards. At the

:42:47.:42:54.

front, Koech, trying to hold off Gebremeskel. Longosiwa on the

:42:54.:43:01.

inside. Koech striking from the front. A little stumble from

:43:01.:43:06.

Longosiwa. Gebremeskel left it too late. Koech is being rewarded. He

:43:07.:43:16.
:43:17.:43:19.

has kept the lead. Just inside 13 minutes. Lagat takes the third.

:43:19.:43:28.

Well, Koech was the anyone interested in it. He was the one

:43:28.:43:33.

who was there to be shot up, particularly with 600 metres to go.

:43:33.:43:41.

He perhaps deserve that victory. Gebremeskel it, well, a little

:43:41.:43:45.

tired perhaps after all of his exploits at the Olympic Games.

:43:45.:43:51.

There is your winner. Not as quick as we thought it would be tonight,

:43:51.:43:57.

nonetheless, under 13 minutes. bad for an 18-year-old, though, is

:43:57.:44:05.

that? Koech put it in the hard yards. That was in the beginning,

:44:05.:44:09.

the middle and the end. Longosiwa tried to make it through on the

:44:09.:44:19.
:44:19.:44:19.

inside. Gebremeskel, I thought, had more to give at the end. It was

:44:19.:44:24.

Bernard Lagat who started to come through. No doubt about the winner.

:44:24.:44:34.
:44:34.:44:39.

Using boulders here with me. How much has tonight it giving back to

:44:39.:44:47.

the fans can smack it is all about that. It has been a long season, it

:44:47.:44:50.

has been up-and-down. We are thinking about the fans, they said

:44:50.:44:54.

they wanted me to come to the meeting. I love it here. Even in

:44:55.:44:59.

this rain, you put a good time together a. I know what they want

:44:59.:45:04.

to see. I come out and give my best always because without them, there

:45:04.:45:10.

would be no Usain Bolt. For me, I am happy to perform. I saw you at

:45:10.:45:15.

Old Trafford last week. Manchester United won, in the end. Do you

:45:15.:45:20.

think you could play for Sir Alex Ferguson? Definitely! I think I can

:45:20.:45:24.

do a good job. He said, if I am very interested and I want to come

:45:24.:45:31.

to train with the guys, I can. So I will see what I can do. Midfield?

:45:31.:45:37.

don't know. They've got a lot of midfielders at the moment. They've

:45:37.:45:43.

also got Ryan Giggs. I think I will be a winner and I will do a good

:45:43.:45:53.
:45:53.:45:57.

job. Ryan Giggs will be moving on I think he is deadly serious about

:45:57.:46:00.

playing for Manchester United. He has got another athletics needs to

:46:01.:46:08.

go before then, he is in Brussels and we are as well, Friday 7pm. He

:46:08.:46:11.

is raising up to 100 metres next week. As much as he is enjoying

:46:11.:46:17.

going back here, he is also enjoying putting his feet up.

:46:17.:46:21.

he deserves it! It is amazing when someone accomplishes everything

:46:21.:46:27.

they set out to do. This one was not about Times, it was about

:46:27.:46:30.

becoming a super legend. It was delivered -- he has delivered a on

:46:30.:46:37.

that. The second part of that, being that famous and dominant, it

:46:37.:46:41.

is what to give back to people and he knows how to do that.

:46:41.:46:45.

witnessed its here, he was around and signing autographs for the

:46:45.:46:49.

young people and giving them the experience of Usain Bolt. I think

:46:49.:46:54.

that very special. Another man -- athlete who has had a good season

:46:54.:46:58.

is Sanya Richards-Ross. The end of a great season, how you feeling?

:46:58.:47:02.

And feeling good. I accomplished remain goal this season at the

:47:02.:47:07.

Olympics but I really enjoy it running at Zurich. This is my 6th

:47:07.:47:11.

time racing and winning, I had a really good energy here. I am happy

:47:11.:47:15.

to end my season on a high note. has been a fantastic season, the

:47:15.:47:19.

highlight at the Olympic Games. I had been dreaming about that

:47:19.:47:23.

since I was nine years old. To finally be living my dream, I am

:47:23.:47:28.

still cloud nine. Go home and have some time off, enjoy it. Thank you

:47:28.:47:38.
:47:38.:47:46.

Koech being the winner. Bernard lagger at, hoping to go quicker.

:47:46.:47:54.

But he has a season's best. So we are going to finish off with the

:47:54.:48:01.

traditional xeric 4x100 relay. A strong team for Great Britain being

:48:02.:48:07.

led by Christian Malcolm. Americans have a strong quartet. Dwain

:48:07.:48:15.

Chambers on the back straight for GB, and I am told that he ran

:48:15.:48:20.

earlier, so did Adam Jimmy Lee, he will bring him home. -- Adam Kay

:48:20.:48:30.
:48:30.:48:53.

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

:48:57.:49:07.
:49:07.:49:19.

year this week in terms of -- a cracking year this year in terms of

:49:19.:49:29.
:49:29.:49:33.

the relays. Dwain Chambers actually ran in Slovakia last week, he'd had

:49:33.:49:43.
:49:43.:49:58.

that was heard it -- held earlier. It has been a cold evening here in

:49:58.:50:02.

Zurich, the crowd have done their best as ever. It is always one of

:50:02.:50:08.

the best atmospheres on the track and field slackest. Then -- the

:50:08.:50:14.

track and field circuit. When they redesigned the Letzigrund, they

:50:14.:50:21.

kept be standing sections on the bends. They will go for the

:50:21.:50:26.

European Championships in 2014, it will be all-seated. 26,000 can fit

:50:26.:50:33.

in here, I am told. It will be a cracking championships, I am sure.

:50:33.:50:38.

Already well into the planning phase of that. Let's hope it is a

:50:38.:50:45.

bit warmer than it is tonight! It has not been typical Zurich weather.

:50:45.:50:50.

Italy on the inside, Germany into Mecca, Great Britain in three,

:50:50.:50:54.

Jamaica Inn for, it just might -- United States in Five, Switzerland

:51:04.:51:13.

six, and evidence in seven and Great Britain after a good start, a

:51:13.:51:19.

bit twitchy and he did not get out of the blocks well. A safe

:51:19.:51:23.

changeover, to Dwain Chambers. Everyone has got a bat on a cross

:51:23.:51:33.
:51:33.:51:34.

safely, American are looking good. Tyson Gay going around the top bend,

:51:34.:51:40.

Jamaica in between him between USA and Britain. Gemili is chasing Ryan

:51:40.:51:46.

Bailey. Bailey is running away. The USA will win it, USA first,

:51:46.:51:50.

Jamaica's second, Great Britain third. A good performance from the

:51:50.:51:54.

British quartet. Not the best American or Jamaican team, but they

:51:54.:52:02.

are still pretty good. 38.01 clocking on a chilly night, not bad.

:52:02.:52:12.
:52:12.:52:13.

Great Britain have got the baton around, Harry! One thing we can say,

:52:13.:52:17.

or joking aside, it is not a joking matter about a Great Britain and

:52:17.:52:21.

the batter on. With the likes of Gemili and the younger sprinters

:52:21.:52:25.

coming through, if he is on the last leg for us in the future, then

:52:25.:52:28.

we are always going to be in with a chance for a medal. He is going to

:52:28.:52:36.

be a very good anchorman for us in the years to come. He has already

:52:36.:52:42.

developed very class act at the moment. The winners, even before

:52:42.:52:46.

the result is confirmed, getting the Zurich Trophy. Let's have a

:52:46.:52:50.

look at it again. It was all about the USA and Jamaica, but Christian

:52:50.:52:58.

Malcolm got great Britain up to their usual solid start. The second

:52:58.:53:04.

leg for Jamaica was Jason Young. That was actually the last leg

:53:04.:53:07.

there. At this point, you could have been forgiven for thinking

:53:07.:53:13.

that Adam Gemili actually had a chance, running against Bailey, who

:53:13.:53:19.

beat him in the individual event, just. The very tall figure of Ryan

:53:19.:53:24.

Bailey, 5th in the Olympic final, he is a find sprinter, he is a sub

:53:24.:53:31.

10 second man, all the way home for the USA. Great Britain, the likes

:53:31.:53:34.

of Dwain Chambers. He is just having looked across at the

:53:34.:53:41.

Italians who fell. That was after the changeover. He hands it on to

:53:41.:53:51.

donate all but. He ran it in 1045. This is where the problem appeared

:53:51.:54:00.

in the Olympics. The changeover between tall but burnt Gemili. He

:54:00.:54:06.

gets it safely this time. And that is all that matters. As you say,

:54:06.:54:14.

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

:54:22.:54:28.

Great Britain quartet who are in third place. 38.3 for the British

:54:28.:54:35.

quartet. A fairly solid American team got the victory. A bit of

:54:35.:54:39.

prize money -- prize-money for this, they were happy with their night's

:54:39.:54:47.

We have got plenty of great sport coming up for you, next Friday it

:54:47.:54:56.

is this final Diamond League of the season, 7:00pm in Brussels. On

action is back, qualifying is at 10 I am surrounded by happy athlete.

:55:33.:55:37.

Congratulations, Adam, how much of a relief, to get it round and get

:55:37.:55:42.

good results? It feels good, we got it round. We knew in the Olympics

:55:42.:55:46.

we were in go to shape and we could have got a medal. But things

:55:46.:55:49.

happened, it is nice to come here and show we can get around and

:55:50.:55:55.

compete with the USA and Jamaica. And you did, a top-three finish.

:55:55.:56:00.

was great to be here. We wanted to make amends for what happened at

:56:00.:56:03.

the Games, we are all related, it is looking to get the baton around.

:56:04.:56:09.

A great way to end the season and some prize money. It will be nice,

:56:09.:56:14.

some change to spend! These ones will be parting, asked all the men

:56:14.:56:21.

will be investing in our kids! -- asked aldermen will be investing in

:56:21.:56:27.

our kids. Enjoy your evening and your time of, well done for what

:56:27.:56:34.

must be a relief of a performance. After what happened at the Olympics.

:56:34.:56:37.

Lovely to see them smiling and getting the battle around, knowing

:56:37.:56:42.

they can see it, psychologically an important hurdle to overcome.

:56:42.:56:45.

a definite psychological boost for them. They did run well in London,

:56:45.:56:51.

apart from that blip coming out of the box. If this team can really

:56:51.:56:56.

gel, they can go on to do better things. It has been have disastrous

:56:56.:57:02.

year for British male sprinting. Let's talk about highlights, Robbie

:57:02.:57:06.

Grabarz gave another great performance, he won the Diamond

:57:06.:57:10.

League overall, a bronze medal at the Olympics, European champion.

:57:10.:57:16.

is a cracking season! There is no two ways about it. For him to come

:57:16.:57:20.

and compete against the best of the world were on a regular basis is

:57:20.:57:26.

way you get your confidence from, you draw confidence from that. This

:57:26.:57:33.

is what you need. He now thinks he can win. Two years ago when he

:57:33.:57:38.

started off, he never believed that. Now he is in a real good place.

:57:38.:57:42.

Yohan Blake is going to have an interesting season next year.

:57:42.:57:46.

Depending on where Usain Bolt decides to race, he is getting

:57:46.:57:49.

faster and faster in the 100 metres, defending world champion into next

:57:49.:57:55.

year. Absolutely, every time he steps on the track, we come to

:57:55.:57:59.

expect what he is capable of. His times are getting quicker, he is

:57:59.:58:04.

going -- gaining in confidence. He is the man to watch next year.

:58:04.:58:07.

Disappointment for David Rudisha, conditions never ride for a world

:58:07.:58:14.

record but just the pace did not lend itself. Not at all. You get an

:58:14.:58:17.

experienced runner like this, you kick -- expected to hang on in for

:58:17.:58:22.

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. --
