Day 2 Athletics

The island mix brings together the people of the world's in peace to

celebrate what is best about mankind. There is a truth to sport,

a purity, and drama, and intensity, a spirit that makes it irresistible

There are some famous words, words that when you read them, you know

mean high quality, mean a skill, mean creativity. We have stamped

those words on the Olympic and Paralympic Games of London 2012.

There stirring words of Lord Sebastian Coe after the success of

last summer's and a big and Paralympic Games. And here we are,

a year on already in the Olympic Park, getting ready for the 11th

Diamond League meeting of the season which also happens to be the

Sainsbury's Anniversary Games. A chance to relive some of those

fantastic moment on the liver -- Olympic Games, and a world-class

line-up here on the track and field. These athletes are not just

competing for Diamond league points, they have got World Championships

in Moscow in two weeks' time. Usain Bolt will be running the really

us smile last summer and who invoke We have got some great names coming

up for you, some top-class action. Paula Radcliffe and Colin Jackson

are enjoying this weather. This was not supposed to be like this we had

been warned of rain, but it turns out the summer love the Olympic

stadium and cannot stay away! Looking at that opening ceremony,

we had a great time last night, what was it like for the athletes

coming back and competing here, especially in Loat -- those like

Usain Bolt who took away gold medals? They adore any Olympic

track or stadium, it brings history, that unique feeling back to you.

And when the crowd arrive, they tried to recreate that excellent

Olympic atmosphere. I think it was delivered last night. It really

felt close, the cameras were going off for Usain Bolt. We had flames,

fireworks, the whole fire -- the atmosphere he was magic last night.

Did we created the feeling of watching good athletics and the

pride that we had been written in the job that we had last year.

Valerie Adams, the gold medallist, she is women's shot but, we will be

across everything. Jessica Ennis- Hill, it was touch and go whether

she was going to make it due to injury. She is here, she is doing

the hurdles and the long jump. This is here earlier on on the warm-up

track, 100 yards away from where we are now. She is looking quite

comfortable. Yes, when you're doing drills like this, and warm up, you

are still not quite knowing where you are at. I can make you look

good and doing drills! strapping says it all. Yes, it does.

That is just take, that is just not so via strapping. -- that is just

paper. It is not severe strapping. It might be waking up muscles that

have not been injured. For her today, is it about time or when she

finishes? Howl she know where she is? For her, it is crucial that she

runs relatively fast. Do not think about her winning the race, it is

about the time, told 0.85 is what she is looking for to give her the

best jobs in Moscow -- 12.85. how she recovers to do the long DUP.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

If you missed last night, shame on It was a great evening. Some

personal bests and season's bests, world-leading time, what did you

make of Usain Bolt? It was an interesting performance. He did not

have the best of starts, he said could sell. He needs to just race.

People need to say -- people say, what does he need to do a Moscow?

It is just about racing, the practice of getting out of the box

and competitive. Getting out of the blocks has always been his thing,

it is always is weak tests -- it is always his weakest part.

training on his injured. He needs to go and practise his start, his

major training partner -- Palmer is absent. He does not get the real

impetus that he needs. He will run a 10th faster in the world

championships and I think that'll be enough for the Gold. A chance

for Perri Shakes-Drayton to Brit has other goods the better the

world, how did she come through? She came through well, she said she

did not attack the race and he lost form in the Lot 100 metres. She is

tired, she will train and work. was a personal best. It was, the

more stamina she develops and the more technique she gets, it will

hold together. That was the difference between her and the

winner. She came out of it really well. If that was the world

championship final, she would take that. Yes, second place Gomersall

the muddle -- second place, silver medal, who wouldn't? The winner is

flawless and fluid over the barriers. What will be interesting

for Perri Shakes-Drayton, overwinter, she will look at the

season and think, I will run faster than these women on the flat so I

need to hold my technique. Then I can be competitive and take them on.

I am thinking, this is a good thing for her to have as an quickening.

Let's not get this wrong, she has run a personal best, faster than

she has won before, it is a good sign. The women's four by 400

metres was a revelation, the fastest in four years, they have

been training really hard, it is athlete to do not see it global

events. Yes, that was good. It was a young squad. Colin knows more

about this but it is the young squad who practised and got the

changeovers slick and right. That has let us down and write. -- that

has let us down the four. The men are going later on, sprinting is in

good shape. Yes, but yesterday, we decided that this was the British

performance of the evening. They haven't run this fast for 12 years.

I think this team will gel together, work harder and they should be able

to approach the British record. Would it be unfair of me to say...

Yes! Jamaica, USA and arouse his going for the muddle. -- everyone

else is going for the medal. cannot give the gold medal to

anybody in the relay, it depends on so many things. Jamaica and the the

US the are still -- the USA are still dominating. Warrener are

looked so comfortable yesterday. He is the baby-faced assassin. --

Warren Weir. He is on a great run, he is a great runner, he was behind

Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake. He is very effortless. He knows this

event very well indeed. He has learnt from the experts around him,

and he has executed his race phenomenally well for someone who

is not used to the studied environment. It is really good to

see this. All this top-class athletes look like they were

enjoying the arena, and who would not? The Diamond League has many

different stadiums, I do not think many of them are quite like this

one. Bogged down by it -- bogged down by raincoat wanted to do

something special, -- Bohdan Bondarenko. He wanted to double

world record. He did not come super players but to give it a good

attempt. -- he did not come so close but he gave it a good

attempts. He does not enjoy the cloud clapping, he tells the crowd

to be quite so he can concentrate. When I watched him do the final

attempt at the world record, he did not wait for the focus, he brushed

of the jumps so he could get on with it. He only clip to 40. --

cleared 2.40. It is all about testing and stretching yourself.

Suddenly you get me yet to a world There is a parade going on at the

moment around the arena. There is a great crowd here, they are pulling

out their G B T shirts, they are seeing here is that they saw last

summer. It is hoped that the Times last year would invoke a legacy and

we would keep a belief in sport, and so far so good. Absolutely. I

think a big part of the legacy was this track and this stadium, it was

keen that we kept an athletics track here, so we had a hope of --

we had a home that we could stay in. Jessica Judd, she was disappointed

not to be here, but she is foreign of the memories of -- she is living

off the memories of the Olympics. We want to hear of her in the next

Olympics, telling us that this was her inspiration. We are set for

another travellers afternoon here. If we think back to a year ago,

there are a couple of days that we will never forget. For Mo Farah and

Jessica Ennis-Hill, it is super So much expectation on the slender

In the 800 it was that really know you have got so far you are

practically bare you can almost touch it. Here goes a Jessica. She

is going to be the Olympic champion. is going to be the Olympic champion.

Everybody is on their feet. The pride of Sheffield and the pride of

Great Britain. Oh, I have done it, Can he fee of this atmosphere?

Quick! It is big! Can you believe what is happening in this stadium

at the moment? 8.31 metres. That is try to forget about it and just be

yourself and think about how hard you at work. The 10,000 final is

under way. There is only one Afellay now that can deny Greg

Rutherford from Olympic gold. That is a foul. Greg Rutherford is the

Olympic champion. I do not think he can quite believe it.

are lifting him. They are cheering him on. He is into their home

straight with just 100 metres to go. Has he got enough? He is going

great. It is going to be a glorious, glorious winner. Mo Farah for Great

Britain, it is cold! -- gold. that really happen? You ask

yourself. Of course it happened. Three gold medals for Great Britain.

Well, here he is, Mo Farah is coming out onto the track to the

kind of adulation and respect that he has so rightly earned. They just

adore him, don't they. They are delighted to see one of their great

heroes return, as Siam, because Brendan Foster and Steve Cram are

in the studio. You know it is a big day when Brendan Foster comes out

to play. Do we fully realise what a great athlete we have in our midst

in Mo Farah and how important he will be historically.

When he walks out there and he knows how well a years running, he

sees the crowd and this year he is even better than he was last year.

To feel like he feels intrinsically from his training and to walk out

here and see the crowd and know he will be back in a few hours and

give everyone something to shout about, it is such a glorious time

for him and for everybody. This is the greatest track meet we have

ever seen in Great Britain. Two days and more people than ever

before. This is a fantastic show here. These are great times for

athletics, thanks to the Olympics and what UK Athletics have done it

is wonderful. And to have no here, I am really excited. Everybody is

doing the mobot behind you. I will not force you to do it but they are

lapping it up. We saw him last week take Steve's 1,500 metre record.

Could he take David Moorcroft's record to date?

If he wants to. Absolutely no question. You cannot have his

endurance and not be able to win. The conditions are pretty good. It

is really whether he wants to do it or not. He has been in St Moritz

since Monaco and he is preparing for the World Championships and we

have to remind ourselves of that. As great as it was in Monaco, his

quest is to win two gold medals so he is choosing his races carefully

to do that. If he wants to run that hard today he can do that he can

win the race as he wishes. I would like to see him run a little bit

harder than we sometimes see him in these events because this crowd

have come here to see him do that. His light changed here last year

and he has on -- been on the quest to winner's medals for a while but

his life changed here and these people want to see him run hard.

Everybody knows he spends a lot of his time training in Oregon and his

coach is American and when he comes back antique is on the shores he is

so proud to wear his British best. Yes, a lot of his roots are here.

He will be watching the football all the time he is away and staying

in touch and he is British and so being in the stadium will bring

back so many memories from last year. He is in a purple patch now

where I don't think he realises how easy it is and sometimes his

surprises you how easily it is coming. His main focus is Moscow so

he may decide to run a bit more tactically to date. You never know.

Let us talk a bit more. You have done your bit with your races

around the country and when you are out and about in the last year what

have you seem to know that it is �9 million well spent and people are

still participating and enjoying You see more people and you see

more events. The interesting thing for me of that in the early years -

- years there were only a very small percentage of women who took

part in running events but almost 50% of women now which goes a

little bit unsung but it has been a major change. The thing about it is

that it is easy to do. You don't have to join anything to do it and

at the end of the day running is what everybody does quite easily.

This inspiration is not to be frowned at. Watching people do what

we have seen in the last few months and the last few years in Britain

has just been fantastic and I think he's a great times. The interesting

thing for me is that the government has finally realised that the sport

and the participation in sport can be a force for good. Partition --

participation in sport can be a force for fitness and health and

instead of using sport as a political weapon and in our day we

were trying to withdraw from the 1980 Olympics and now governments

have realised that sport is important so let us forget about

Boycott's and stop using it as a foreign policy and just use it as a

benefit for the people in the nation. That has been a fantastic

transformation. To answer that I think you have got

to take the positive vibe and turn that inspiration into something a

bit more solid, in the sense that we have got to support sport. We

must continue to support sport because there are young people will

want to take part and we need coaches and we need facilities and

we need the volunteer factors supported. We have got a great

opportunity to build on London. We have got a world championships here

in four years. Is it too top-heavy?

It is not that it is top heavy but it was targeted at winning medals

and bringing major events to the UK and we have now got them and what

we now have to do is underpin it with more funding for sport. We are

all going to sit here and say that and the government will say it

differently because there are other challenges and money is tough for

local authorities and central government and we have got to show

and I think we have done here, a year on from the Games, that people

care about this. They want to see us continue to be good at sports so

we have to support those who are helping our youngsters and show

them where they can do it and how to become Mo Farah.

The glow of positivity is still very much on a year on and 11% of

people have increased their participation in short but where

will we be in 10 years' time? -- participation in sport.

We have had the 12 months of our sport and if you look at the

response of the British public, they have always liked running and

they have always liked athletics and has been around for a long time.

We were brought up in the days of tales about White City and Roger

Bannister and over the years all of us here were inspired by previous

generations and Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis-Hill are going to be

inspiring other generations. Now there is a movement behind it and

it is a positive movement and it is for the good and it is a privileged

to be in amongst it for me. It is about the health of the country as

well. We are not just talking about achieving an winning medals at the

top level, we are talking about increasing productivity and helping

kids perform at school if they are involved in sport so we must have

the infrastructure supported as well. I have just heard that Mo

Farah's twin is here -- twins are here so the next generation.

Well, it is a bit early. The one thing I will say and Paul will back

me up is that having a young family puts added pressure and Mo has done

a brilliant job in managing that with his wife. He wants to see his

kids as well. I think his coach would have been locked away every

single day just concentrating on his training that he gets the

balance right and it is great that they are here because Tanya here

last year the twins were just to do. It is great to get from family life

advice from Steve! We will get yours later, Brendan.

Seriously though to handle the adulation and the pressure and the

family and then keep performing, not even the same, but that on the

track, how does he do that? Sometimes it helps and sometimes

kids are the absolute best level and they will come home and they

will put everything in perspective and they are what is important. At

the same time he wants to keep the normality there through them but he

also wants to perform up there to support them as well as possible.

Well, something at the moment of Jessica Ennis-Hill does not have to

worry about, she is newly married, but the things she is concerned and

the last few months is the injury to wear ankle and she is out there

now ready to compete in the hurdles and this is going to be a huge test

for her. Whether she comes through this or not will determine whether

we see her in Moscow in a few weeks' time.

Yes, she will be very nervous. She walked out on that first morning

and it was full and she was the first person there who ran a

British record and is set her off on the way to that gold medal. It

is a very different scenario here today. She wants to come through

this safely and talk -- and I talked to her coach yesterday and

he said she had run in under 13 seconds. The injury has been

niggling away. I don't think she genuinely thought she was going to

be here but that is positive, she is here and there she is on the

upward slope towards Moscow so if she comes through this well and she

have the long jump later Ron Sommer to the big day, but don't expect

too much from her in the hurdles but knowing her she will produce

just that little bit more. She looks up to it.

Yes of course she is up for it. I saw her earlier in the week in

Sheffield getting some treatment and she is never anything other

than positive. She put pressure... All good athletes put pressure on

the doctor and the physio and the coach and asked when they can get

back out and train and how art can they push it because that is what

she wants to do. She wants to be in Moscow winning the gold medal.

Head coach is sitting over there and he looks as nervous as we are.

The only reason she is here is that the British public drew her here.

She could not resist. This is her stage but this theatre will not be

open again for a couple of years so she could not resist coming here.

It is fantastic. You will see his - - you will see her coach in the

background heckling after! There he is, give us a wave.

He is going to come and join me and watch Jessica from here. Is that a

good thing? Is he nervous watch a? He can be.

I had got a favourite picture from the Olympic Games which I showed

him in December which was him, he is a bit of a soft touch at times,

and bit of a tear in his eye, looking at hour monitor when

Jessica Ennis-Hill was getting her a medal. The crowd were oblivious

that he was the man who spotted her and discovered a. He is looking at

me now that he does not know what I am saying so do not tell him!

You will be commentating on this untested afternoon so let us remind

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

ourselves of some of the other A fantastic afternoon in store for

metres hurdles, Aries Merritt in the second rate. And a couple of

great 100 metres women's for you. The Emsley Carr Mile is coming up

later. 400 metres at 3:55pm, Christine Ohuruogu going in that.

We can look forward to Mo Farah on the track at 4:30pm. Then it is the

relay featuring a Usain Bolt at 4:50pm. You can follow all the

action on BBC Sport, our Twitter, Facebook and other pages. It is

worth following us even if it is the next few weeks, we are going to

be reporting everything one year on exactly from the Olympics. It has

been an incredible year for Jessica Ennis-Hill, she got married for one,

and she even cannot believe that it is 12 months since those glorious

days. The biggest cheer of all will I cannot believe, firstly, that it

is in here on it still feels very surreal that it was that huge run

it in my career, it all came together and I was able to achieve

my dreams. I still see that image of the crossing the line, whether

it is on an advert or something that I have come across, and it

gives me goose bumps. I cannot believe that I was able to achieve

that. It is going to be so strange been back in that environment again.

One or was there for the Olympics hurdling, I was thinking, I will

never have this opportunity again. At the same time I am in a very

different situations. Last year, I was 100% ready to compete. This

year, I am not quite as prepared as I would have liked to have been. I

am so glad I have finally started my season. Are to go to

Loughborough and through a personal best in the javelin was great, that

has given me confidence. One event down, I have got cess the rest.

This will be a good opportunity to hurdle in a world class field and

long jump, Sea haddock comes together. I just -- see how it

comes together. I keep thinking, thank God it is not last year and

for it to have happened this year is frustrating but if it was this

time around the London Olympics last year, it would have been

absolutely devastating. Where does this fit in in terms of the

ultimate test of form, whether you can compete in the world

championships? Unless you were in world championship contention, you

do not want to go in as an also ran. I only want to go in if I know I am

pretty much ready to contend for the gold medal. It is going to be a

good indication, this weekend, to see how the hurdles and long jump

goes, where I am physically. How my Achilles holds up for those two

events. A couple of days after that as well. It is going to be a good

test. I hope to make a decision shortly after that. There she is,

just a few moments away from the 100 metre hurdles. Toni Miniechello,

or weak have been talking about him, we can now talk to him. Good

afternoon. Steve was saying you were very emotional last year, but

the gold medal moment, it said it was one of his favourite photos of

the Olympics, senior watching Jessica get her muddle. He says I

was emotional, I will never admit that! It is good to be back, it is

different this time round. When did you make the decision to go the

today? That was made after Thursday this week, we needed to give the

injury and 48 hours after Loughborough to make sure it would

not react badly, it has not. Protect it yesterday and it seems

OK. It has been a mixed year for you and her, a complete contrast

for last year. You would not have wanted this going into the Olympic

Games. It must be frustrating when you cannot back up a brilliant

summer with a world Championship. It is frustrating, but it comes

with athletics. Athletes do get injured and things happen. You

would not want it in any year. It is never a good year to be injured.

A lot of good things have happened to her this year, there was a

wedding this year, I am sure it she is happy enough. What have you said

to her about how to approach this race? I want to -- I want her to

come through it a injury-free. I would like to have started out more

low-key than the 100 metres in front of 65,000 people. It is to

get through it injury free and then it is the next 48 hours, to make

sure there is a reaction to it and then we will assess it began.

go down to Cologne who is by the start line. -- Colin Jackson. She

can see him there, he is concentrating on her face. There is

a lot of tension down here. It is a bit blustery again, they could be

struggling at the back end of the race. This field is full of talent.

We have got the Olympic champion Sally Pearson, who has struggled

yet again. She is walking forward to us. She has been injured again.

She is coming back, and these hurdles become more of an obstacle

when you return from injury. Then we have Jessica Ennis-Hill. She is

telling her back on us. She is just composing herself once again to get

ready for the competition. It is full of talent, this competition.

Tiffany Porter, Britain's No. 1, she is a real strong contender in

the world championships. All of that talent, there is Kellie Wells,

she just missed out on the US team. He has a personal best of 12.54,

not quite quick enough. This will be a blanket finish. Over to the

We will get a commentary in a moment. I just want one more word

on whether today is the date you decide where the go to Moscow.

it is not as clear cut as that. We will take a few days after this to

see how the injury reactors, and then see what training we can get

in the next week. She will go out late into the holding camp if we go

there, or maybe we will go direct to Moscow. We need to look at and

make decisions on those. Relationships with coaches is so

vital. These are the Times, it is so good being together in the good

times, but they have got a fantastic relationship. These are

the days when it counts. Exactly, that is what we talk about, the

legacy record in the club coaches. That is where he started out and

they are there through the tough times, making the crucial decisions

which can make or break would you go to a championships or whether

you stay at home and think, I could have one. You do not want to take

that risk. Tony is starting to twiddle his fingers, it is nearly

race time. We are here for you, it is nearly time. Let's Join the

waiting to be introduced to the crowd. Another full house in

brilliant sunshine, the forecast was not great. But it is a bit

breezy down there. Nia Ali does not start, so we have got to the line

competitive event in the world. The 100 metre hurdles for women's.

Shermaine Williams made the semi- finals of the Olympics, she has not

been quick this year. Watch out for Yvette Lewis in it Labour three.

She only made the US semi-final championships, but in the last

couple of races, she has run a new personal best. She was second in

Monaco last week. Kellie Wells, the Olympic bronze medallist. What a

great race it was last here. As Colin it just mentioned, despite

running 12.54, she did not make the team, she was 4th in the trials.

Talking about coming right from injury, the world and Olympic

champion Sally Pearson, still trying to find her best form. Her

first race back after her hamstring injury was good, but she has

struggled after that. Normally, Tiffany Porter you would say was

Britain's No. 1 had levelled up when the heptathlete of not taking

part, that is! She is the UK champion. Let's listen to the roar

Hildebrand, the German champions. I was saying a few minutes ago, that

first morning, the first event which set the tone for the whole

athletics programme and said Jessica or on her way to the gold

medal, that 12.54 clocking, it is the British record. Tiffany Porter

is the second fastest. No records are expected today. It will be a

safe, good performance from Jess Ennis-Hill, one which she can carry

forward, the long jumper to run. It will hopefully give her the

confidence to give the decision about going to Moscow. Watch in the

middle lanes, Yvette Lewis, Kellie Wells, Sally Pearson and Tiffany

Wells. Alongside her, Jessica Ennis-Hill. Sally Pearson, she won

the World Weddle last year. It is going to be Sally Pearson who wins

it from Tiffany Porter. Jessica Ennis-Hill could have got 4th or

5th. That team is -- that run is much better from Sally Pearson. She

finished really well that time. A solid performance from Jess, she

will be happy to come through that. She looks like she has a smile on

her face. Look how much it means to Sally Pearson. A season's best for

her. She won up well in her -- she ran well in her first race, she had

not been able to move on from that and will today. She may well be

able to go with some confidence towards the championships and

defend her world title. nation's favourite coming back from

injury, Sally Pearson, Australia will be happy with this because she

has had problems. A very impressive season's best for her. Four Jessica

Ennis-Hill Hill, as she is now known, it is about getting in there.

She finished strongly, it is about not feeling any tweaks or twinges.

Coming over the hurdles if you have an injury, that is where it will be

felt more. Impressive from Sally Pearson. She took it out from the

start and through the Lanka all the way, she looked very strong. Sally

Tippett -- Sally Pearson is a great technician, she has not finished so

well in the last few races. Jess, nice safely out of the blocks, a

decent reaction, you can understand how she was not so fast. You can

see their she will be pleased with the way she finished a the race.

She finished ahead of Yvette Lewis, just outside of 13 seconds. It will

be interesting to get her coach's view. We look forward to seeing her

Alongside me, the winner Sally Pearson, and Jess. I thought your

face on the start gave it all away. You were more relaxed its at the

start of the heptathlete event in the Olympics. This, this was my

first event since the Olympics, having this injury, I could not

have prepared as well. It was great to be here but I was disappointed

with my time. You finished strongly, you must be pleased with that.

I am lacking the speed though. By any guests started on the had us

this week, it is expected. -- I only just started on the hurdles

this week. You have time to get this changed the thought Moscow?

And will have a chat with my coach and see if we can change things

before Moscow. Good luck with the long jump. Congratulations, Sally,

a contrast of remissions, shedding light on your face. It is all

coming together after two a hamstring tears. That is not easy

to come back from. I was so nervous. I was ready, I knew I could do this.

It still wasn't perfect, but there are parts that I was going to be

cautious on. I just want to stay here! It was just a matter of

putting the race together and getting over the finish line. I did

that, I am happy with that, it is not a fast race. I am happy that I

came out on top of these goals today. Just come up I was nervous

of her in the warm-up, I was never sure what she was going to do, she

is a freak! We were she well in Moscow. -- We wish you well in

delighted to get that victory. delighted to get that victory.

Jessica Ennis-Hill came in 4th. We will get at the reaction from

her coach now. What you make of it all? I think even listening to

Jessica there she will be a little bit disappointed with at the time

but if you try and balance that with finishing 4th, there is nobody

on her left hand side which means that she lost contact -- lost

contact with the other athletes so there are positive and negative to

draw from it. We will sit down and have the discussion. It is probably

where you would expect her to start the season, not being an out and

out hurdler. She is playing catch- up now, if she just ring rusty?

hope so but there is certainly possibly the need for another race

before she goes off to Moscow to be certain she is back in shape

because this event she is strong in so you must put that stamp on the

heptathlon when you start. In the Olympic she started so

fantastically and she wants to make sure she has down there or

thereabouts before she commits. You want a time that opens up at

around 12.8. That is doable and it gives you a good start and puts you

in line for a nice score that will be very competitive. So, reasons to

be cheerful, Colin. You are watching it Britannica lies. What

do you say? Technically there is nothing wrong with it. People tend

to forget that in hurdles you get very rusty and you have to practise

running at pace in an offer every single barrier -- barrier. Sally

Pearson has lost four metres on her best form purely because of injury

and not being able to get back into the groove. Jessica is exactly the

same. Sometimes we expect too much from our superstar athletes. She

needs to get back into racing mode yet again and run off every single

barrier aggressively and properly. She, Sally, has run quite a lot of

races. She performed really well here and she is also benefiting

from those memories last year. When Jessica Ken Knight you saw her

close her eyes and remember and she has to call herself into getting

back into that shape. She just needs a little bit of a myth --

little bit of a lift. She has the long jump now, are you going to go

and spend a bit of time with her? Yes, we will go would have a bit of

a chat and a bit of a post-mortem after that event and then we will

move on and start dealing with the long jump. What sort of friend of

mine was she being? I do not know! magical times on this track last

year. It was astonishing. There has been a trail of injuries and

hamstring problems which hampered his progress. Watch out for the men

in the middle. A youngster from Warrington goes on the outside.

That is an Martin Mazac who is twice the Czech champion. Alongside

him is the elder of the Martyn Oates leg guards brothers. They are

both going very well this season. - - Thomas Martinot-Lagarde. That is

Orlando Ortega. He is Cuban and make the final last year. He has

lowered his personal best this year and he is going very well. David

Oliver. He is the fastest in the world this year. He has been

unbeatable. Ryan Wilson is the recently crowned US champion. He

has been taking advantage of and the still recovering Aires Merritt.

The Dutch champion is just 20 years old. He has had a personal best

this season. Lawrence Clarke, he really was incredible, finishing

4th in the Olympic final last August and this season have been

blighted by injury. What can experience for James Gladman. He is

from Warrington and studying at the University of Bath. 13.71 this

season. It is all about the experience. So, it is the first

three, plus the two fastest that will go through to the final just

after 4pm. In lane to a Martin them up but then he stumbled and he

is down. It is going to be David Oliver bringing them home. Orlando

Ortega is out. The windows to David Oliver. Orlando Ortega seems to be

OK but not for him here in London over these two days.

It is good to see because there was a horrible accident in laws than a

couple of weeks ago with an athletes stumbling over and

breaking his leg horribly. David Oliver, the fastest man in the

world, safely through. Ryan Wilson had a messy race but he also made

it through in third place. Yes, that for did look nasty but a

few rolls and he was up and at them. It left David Oliver out and clear

but it is disappointing for Ryan Wilson.

Colin Jackson is never far away. It is uncomfortable to see a hurdler

coming a cropper. This time last year have to

remember that the hurdlers struggled along with this surface

and they found it bouncy and it pushed them on to the hurdles at a

quicker than they are used to but once they got into the groove they

ran very quickly indeed. I think these athletes may just have been

suffering from that. Orlando Ortega is from Cuba and he gets off the

blocks very well and he works hard into it but he has lacked racing

this year. He has got this very quick time under his belt but he

lacks the race scale compared to David Oliver who is returning from

injury and looking very strong indeed. He rolls over these

barriers wonderfully well. He has strong at the technique and

everybody says to watch him at the World Championships because he is

coming right into great shape as he is demonstrating here. Thomas

Martinot-Lagarde did very well there as well because he was

slightly bothered by Ock Orlando Ortega going over there. The three

who go through art David Oliver, Thomas Martinot-Lagarde and Ryan

Wilson, automatically through to the final.

Chris Tomlinson of Great Britain will have two things on his mind

today, to try and maximise his Diamond League points during this

series of meetings but he also has one eye on qualification for Moscow.

8.25 is what is required. That is his have -- that is his first jump

and it is close to eight metres. No one has been over eight metres so

far in this round. Included in the line-up we have Alexandr Menkov who

we know quite well in this country because he won the Birmingham

meeting and the championships at Gateshead. The great Dwight

Phillips from the United States, former Olympic and world champion.

7.99 for Chris Tomlinson. He is in the lead.

This is one of the best athletes on display here today, it is the shot

put. She is twice an Olympic champion, world champion as well.

What an athlete she is! Looking with great interest as to how far

this one is. She has dominated the competition so far.

competition so far. What a great shot that is. Never

tire of seeing the Olympic Stadium of from overhead. I cannot believe

this whether either. We were warned all week of rain but it has stayed

dry. We will have the chance this afternoon to revisit some other

sports from last year and meet some of the other great Olympians who

brought us so much joy. We will Tim Bailie and Etienne Stott, this

is looking great for Great Britain. He has such great strength.

Powering on. This could be a medal run of four

Great Britain. Great Britain are flying here!

Oh, my goodness! Tim Bailie and Etienne Stott are through the

finish line and the Olympic champions. Absolutely brilliant.

It is gold and the crowd let out a roar!

I am delighted to say that one half of that gold medal is here. Etienne

Stott is with me but no Tim Bailie to date. He is badly injured.

Sadly I am injured because I dislocated my shoulder so we are

ruled out for the rest of the season and probably the rest of the

year but at least I am here. Absolutely, tell us a bit about the

last year and how you live changed. It is just incredible. Coming back

here has brought back so many memories. We have had an MBA and we

have spoken to so many people -- MBE. We have visited so many

schools and the buzz is so fantastic. One year on it still

seems like a dream. Is amazing. What about your sport and the

uptake and the interest? Have there been a buzz within the sport?

quite hard to tell but there is the -- canoe slalom is a very small

sport and it always has been but a platform like the Olympics has been

a huge boost. The clubs I am involved in have had a huge legacy

scheme and we hope elite breeding the next generation of champions.

You are going to miss the next world championships are you going

to Rio? We haven't decided. We decided to go year by year because

how can we top last year but we love what we do and we are

fortunate to be funded full-time by the National Lottery and we are

amazing is supported and it is such a great environment to be and so it

is a shame to leave it. We have to do one job at a time and that is my

shoulder at the moment. Real life will come back one day but put off

for as long as you can! Absolutely, we will be retired for a long time

and I love what I do so we want to carry on. Was there a moment in the

last year where real life just kind of landed again and you fell either

by have had gone a bit and it felt like you were back in the hard days

of training? It is hard to say. You get used to it somewhat but once in

a while you watch a bit of video or someone added just hits you like a

train, I am Olympic champion still and it is amazing. I guess it

doesn't settle down really. That is good. Lovely to see you. From one

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

coming back, William Sharman will figure. He has run very fast. Jeff

Porter, the husband of Tiffany Porter who we saw in the 100 metre

hurdles. Gianni Frankis, coached by Tony Jarrett. He ran pretty well in

the UK championships. He is finding good form this year. I think for

Aries Merritt, this is a big test, another test on his way back. Could

not do anything wrong last year, and then start of the season

reasonably well, and then that race in Shanghai, he tore his hamstring.

He has had a lot of problems since then, a lot of treatment. He got

through the American trials. He is the defending world champion, he

has a wild card. Managed to finish third. So he will be there to

defend and try and make it an Arabic and world championship gold-

medal in Moscow. -- Olympic and Aries Merritt. He is starting to

pull away. This is more like it from Aries Merritt. Aries Merritt

wins, 13.14. That was more like it, he looked more relaxed, more

comfortable. He got a decent start, he got into his running nicely.

That is as good as three seen him this year. You run it quicker in

Paris, and will be interesting to it get the comments from Colin. It

is this season's best for William Sharman. Was that better for Aries

Merritt? You knew I was going to say something! He is pushing for a

time. Two wants to the aggressor to the first barrier, he does the

seven stride approach, now he is chasing. He is pushing hard. He is

no longer shuffling between the barriers. He could sprint easier

last year. He works hard and you must remember, the wind was plus

1.3. When you have got his leg length, that is a real burden. He

drives hard into the first barrier. A seven stride approach. Works hard

at the second hurdle. It is important that you generate speed

quickly. At this stage you settle down. His shoulders are warriors,

wondering after the barriers. He is a bit too stressed. The hurdles are

coming through too quickly and he is not used to that yet. As he get

into the groove of the championships, he will relax into

it, and we will see him get close to 13 seconds again. The wind, plus

Colin Jackson is talking about you getting back into a groove, had a

bit feel? It felt like a good grace. It is the first round so I am

trying to save something for the final. It is a quick turnaround so

only to go and get some lunch. One final word, what is it like to be

back here? The crowd is amazing, London has always been great for me.

I loved the London crowd. I cannot be more excited to be back here and

Gianni Frankis and Jeff Porter will go through to the final as quickest

continues to dominate this competition, despite the fact that

Christina Schwanitz has hit 90 metres. Valerie Adams is getting

better and better, she did not like her technique. Her coach is sitting

in the stand behind her. People have a very good view of the

technique of this great athlete. It is very long, 20 metres and 82, she

extends her lead again. It is a new meeting of record. Drives across,

hit it hard. There for kilogram shot sailing out to almost 70 ft.

It is beyond the length of a cricket pitch. She is the dominant

force at the moment. At the moment, Michelle Carter is third. Aleksandr

Menkov has a real problem. He had two fouls in succession. Because

there are nine Athlete in the competition, only eight will go for

it. -- go forward. So he needed to get one of the board. Tomlinson and

Great Britain leads. No one has gone over 80 metres. -- eight

litres. I suspect that Aleksandr Menkov will still be at the top

eight. He needs about seven metres 56 to go forward. He is only just!

Beware cover Alexander big cough is still a great long jumper, he could

Let's have another look at Aries Merritt. He said in Berlin, wait

till London, I will dip under 13 seconds. It is not quite where he

wants to be. He is spending a lot of time pressing forward. He is

around three metres of tracks lower than he is used to Rabin. You need

to get back in to the groove, but 10 barriers. You from doing that.

He needs to get a fluid technique over the barrier and believe in

himself. The comfortable and cautious in one way cover but also

believe in himself. When you can run 12.80 cover you have got a lot

of ability but he has got to believe that. It is about being in

the zone where everything is easy, very few sports people experience

that. He had that last summer. is still in it. It is very hard,

because you almost do not realise when you're in it, how well

everything is going. When you look back, it you think, I really felt I

was unbeatable. Whatever way I chose to run the race. Everything

came together. It only, it can rarely lost for a short period of

time. The key is to keep your cool, appreciate it and not think too

much about it. I imagine it might be easy to get back to its cover

that is why Jessica Ennis-Hill can if you missed it, her first hurdles

since the Olympics, her first competitive hurdles. I can imagine

how frustrated she is. It is one of her favourite events. She will be a

little bit disappointed, her coach said. It is the time. Three get the

performance in sense of where she finished, it is the time which will

be crucial for have. If she is not running around about culprit eight,

it makes her susceptible in other events. -- 12.8. Her rivals will

she is lacking in performance? think a lot will depend on how she

recovers physically in the next couple of days. Whether an injury

has flared up. Another race could help a lot. We are looking forward

to the women's 100 metres, featuring Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce,

who did it once more last year in but Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will

retain the title. Carmelita Jeter will get silver. After a modest

start, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Olympic champion, and alongside her

will be the woman who she beat into the silver medal, Coverley to get a.

English gardener, a talented sprinter. -- Carmelita Jeter. Let's

have a look at the start list. The quality in this field, and then on

lane two, the 17 year-old Desiree Henry, what a chance of her life to

live up gives these greats of women's sprinting. I think the last

time she was in this stadium, she was helping to light the Olympic

flame, as one of the young athletes chosen, she was chosen by Daley

Thompson. She now sees her applause old today. Third in the Jamaica

championships. And Kerron Stewart, the Jamaican champion, silver

medallist in Beijing and the World Championships in Berlin a year

later. And then Carmelita Jeter. Silver medallists last year in the

100 metres, that she anchored the US team to that astonishing world

Mackle. She is not been good for this year. She has been hampered by

the gold medal. Look out for English Gardner, the US champion,

running at 10.85 in the final. This is the first time she has been in

the UK. She will be a threat in Moscow as well. And Jeneba Tarmoh

won the title in Iowa last year, -- last month, 4th in the 100 metres.

On the outside, the former you -- European indoor champion, and less

rip-off. She's from youth crime. -- Olesya Povh. She is from the

American female sprinters, English Gardner. But how is the form of

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce? She has been winning races in 100 metres

and 200 metres this season. This could be an open race come the

Pryce, and she takes at Carmelita Jeter. Coming through for a third

is Kerron Stewart. Pretty much as expected. Those three go through

automatically to the final. 10.78, and it is it legal. It is quick

from Shirli-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The fastest in the world this year. She

is in very good form of. She could perhaps go even lower in the final.

She is safely through. Carmelita Jeter is coming back to some form.

But she could not quite stay with Jamaican Olympic champion. It was

great to see Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce returning to have favoured

event, the 100 metres. You can see why. Explosive at the box, drives

hard, of how full for the first 30 or 40 metres. She does not have a

high it me a lift, she relies on leg speed. She cannot manage that a

whole that to the line. Look what whole that to the line. Look what

tall woman at all. Carmelita Jeter talked about the injuries she has

had this summer. She missed the US championship so that she could still

be named for the US squad for Moscow. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is

very impressive. English Gardener was a little bit sluggish. I

was a fantastic performance. 10.77 at this stage could not be more

perfect. It is not perfect yet! I am enjoying this evening, racing

competitively. My competitors always give 100%. I am looking forward to

the rest of the season. How much is being back here to spur you on?

I came in here, I reminisced about the London Olympics. It was

wonderful for me, and I think being here is a tremendous opportunity to

race again and do well. Congratulations and see you in the

final. Thank you very much. We will certainly see her in the final, as

will Carmelita Jeter, who has run a season's best. English Gardener may

have to wait to see if she is one of the fastest losers to go through.

Desiree Henry has shaved a fraction metres so far this afternoon for

Valerie Adams. She blasts another one, way beyond the 20-metre mark!

She has a lifetime best of over 21 metres a couple of seasons ago, and

she looks as though she is returning to that kind of form. A superb

display. The only other person who is near her is the German compact

at. She proves this her longest throw in the world in 2013 at 20.19.

and a tremendous height. That looks as though it will go into the lead

in this fourth round. Chris Tomlinson and the rest have

literally got to raise their game. The Australian won the Commonwealth

Games three years ago. That was the same year that he won't be world

indoor championship. My goodness! That was absolutely on the board.

8.17, a tremendous lead. The shot put is finished, and what a display

by one of the best athletes in the Stadium this afternoon. Valerie

Adams dominated the competition, with the longest throw in the world

this season, 20.90. She spoke to us afterwards. What a performance

today. You grew in increments it I picked. You have a stadium record.

Yes, I am happy with today. It is a world leader for me, so everything

is looking good going forward to Moscow. What is it like being back

here? You got the gold eventually in September. Is there a sense of

redemption coming back here and winning here today? Absolutely. It

almost feels like the same crowd as last year. It is like a deja vu, but

this time we have the real winners. I was happy to be here and give a

good performance. I cannot ask for more than that. And what about this,

another Super Saturday for us in London? I am falling in love with

London! The crowd is awesome and it is great to be a part of a

competition like this. I am happy to put on a good show for everyone. It

is great to see you. See you in Moscow. Thank you very much.

looks as though Valerie Adams will be heading for yet another major

championship gold medal. She is dominant here. Christina Schwanitz

is in second place, Michelle Carter in third. And our best junior four

years is in ninth place, Sophie McKinna. Here is the Diamond League

race, close between Christina athlete. Because of the drugs issue,

she was denied the moment of getting gold at the limpet Games here. It

would have been good if she had been presented with it in front of 16,000

people. She will have her daily Moscow. We will be there for the

Championships, and there is a champion with some options there,

Okagbare A. Cheers taking on one of the best quality fields we have seen

here. Asha Philip for Great Britain, the British champion this year.

Dafne Schippers is in lane three. Kelly-Ann Baptiste was the fastest

in the world until a few year -- running a personal best and booking

her seat on the plane to Moscow. It will be interesting to watch how the

relay team develops. They ran so well yesterday. Another one to watch

out for will be Jodie Williams, he was beaten by Dafne Schippers in the

championships in the 100 metres. The Dutch heptathlete is on brilliant

form. Kelly-Ann Baptiste, 10.83. The fastest time in the world until

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran 10.78. Murielle Ahoure up was third in

Paris. She gave a good performance in the 60 metres. Also under ten

seconds this year, all of these women in these middle names --

Saylor is the top German sprinter. find it tough to get into the top

three, which is what is required to with Kelly-Ann Baptiste, Murielle

Ahoure and others running under 11 start. Kelly-Ann Baptiste is right

up there, coming through. Okagbare wins it. 10.87, and we have?

High-quality semifinals. What will the final produced? It was not a

good start for Okagbare. But she still runs 10.87. That is another

personal best. She is on the form of her life! A national record and an

area record as well. She can get out of the blocks as well as some of the

others. Really, really superb sprinting. I think we have got four

winning under 11 seconds here. -- for women. This is a mouthwatering

final coming up. Look how far Okagbare comes back from. She will

get herself in position early on in the field. She is dangerous to the

likes of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. But she is not a consistent starter,

whilst Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is. Once she gets going, good strong

high knee lift, hauling herself through the field to clock a

brand-new African record, 10.86. Another fantastic performance. What

about that from your perspective? is going to be a great final. I want

to go out and do my best. That is what I want to do any time, any day.

How would you assess your form now heading towards the World

Championships? My form is going well. I will see what happens in

Moscow. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran 10.77. Can you challenge that in the

final? That was an amazing rate in she had done it before. I am not

surprised that she has done it here. She is a good athlete, very

talented, and I just want to go out and do my best for myself.

fantastic start EU today. We wish you well. Thank you very much.

A superb 100 metres. Barbara Pierre did not have a great start. Okagbare

at -- had such a bad start. Surely there is more to come. She really

could explode out of the blocks in the final. But that is what

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is good at and maintains. What a mouthwatering

final we have at 4:20pm. Murielle Ahoure just got ahead of Kelly-Ann

Baptiste. Kelly-Ann Baptiste will go through as the fastest loser and

champion of last season. He is having problems negotiating the

eight-metre line. The conditions are virtually perfect for long jumping.

That is better! Once again, Chris Tomlinson, for his position in

accommodation is under pressure. Chris Tomlinson's first-round jump

was just under eight metres, and has been followed by three consecutive

fouls. Something not consistent today. That was spot on, just a

couple of centimetres away from the maximum jump. But eight metres

exactly for Da Silva. He moves into second place. Luis Alberto Rivera

Morales, he jumped 8.46 earlier this year, the only man in the world this

year to have beaten Aleksandr Menkov. The Russian is struggling

here. That looks better! That looks round about the same sort of

distance that we saw from Da Silva. Chris Tomlinson, again, it looks as

though he could be pushed down into fourth place. Luckier still leads.

Da Silva came through with eight metres. Has Morales got it? Exactly

eight metres. He moves into equal The city of Sheffield's other

impressive performance from Michael Tinsley. Sometimes we wonder what

he will do, or will he be aggressive or fast? Or just take

his time? But today, he has really proved that he can be a massive

threat to everybody. Javier Coulson inside him, they are both in yellow.

He is quite a ginger over the first 100 metres. In Monaco last year,

last weekend, he went out too quickly. We are all worried. But

Michael Tinsley worked hard of every single barrier. He is not the

most graceful of hurdlers but he is good from the hurdles. He hits the

floor and drives off the line. Watch him puts his hands up, he

knows that he has hammered this field. This is the hurdle where

every single one of the athletes are about to change down. They

think it, shall I take it on my good or bad leg? Michael Tinsley

just runs aggressively. He is literally like a high hurdler.

Pushes hard, drives in. He sees the hurdle early, pressures on with his

legs, over them, beautifully running of the barrier. Watch him

glance up to the screen. He is very impressed and happy with that. He's

don't know, but it has been tremendous for the sport. Sony clubs

have increased their membership. Our national championships will be the

best -- the biggest one yet this year. It is fantastic to see all the

kids joining clubs. What is the best part about being an Olympic

medallist? The best part for me is that it had eluded my career for so

long and it was the only one I still needed. I would have preferred it

was a different colour! Are you going for it again? I had a couple

of injuries since the Games, and I am still recovering, but I hope that

I can be there again in three years. And I can imagine that come in here

today, it reminds you what it was all about. Definitely. It brings

back all the emotions that I had last year at the Games. It is

amazing that one year has gone by so quickly. It is fantastic to deal

with the fans and it really makes me thankful for British Athletics for

sorting out the tickets for us! in Rio? I hope so. We have the

European Championships in a couple of months. It is the case of getting

the right horse at the right time, but Rio would be amazing. It is

thanks to the funding that we can get that we can come to venues like

this and carry on later in life. bit older than the normal athlete.

The athletes at ready to take part Djibouti. Young Matthew Centrowitz

surprised everybody a couple of years ago at the World Championships

by taking the gold medal. He had a struggle this year, until his last

race, to get down into decent times. That is young Jake Wightman. I am

sure he will be a bit nervous. Charlie Grice is one of our top

young talents. James Brewer and Lee Emanuel. This rate is full of great

tradition and history. I have to say I think we are making history here.

I have never seen a one-mile race with two start lines. They do it for

the other long-distance runs. 20 athletes in this. Six or seven of

them have to run on the outside of this bend and then break. I hope

they break in the right place! hope they have been briefed, because

they won't know the rules. I have never seen this before, with the

break. For the 61st run of the Games, 20 winners in this race,

there is too many. The only salvation is at the pacemaker can go

at such a pace and the rest of the field follow him. Look at it, it

looks like a 10,000-metre race, they are spread across the track and had

only just done 300 metres. We have got a good feel of this famous

running event. This was the race in 1977, this was Seb Coe's

breakthrough race. He won the Emsley Carr Mile, the beginning of a career

finally ending up doing the organising for the Olympics. And a

suitably fast first lap, 54 .7 for the pacemaker. Collins and Cheboi

are also quite close. The canyon is further back in the middle of the

pack. He ran very well in America. They are attacking, Miller is going

to pick it up. They wanted 1.53 or thereabouts and I think they will be

boasted that at 800. The field really has followed. When the big

athletes go up, you know the rest of the field have got no choice but to

follow. Here we are. Bram Som is doing extremely well there. A solid

pace is being delivered. We will get some good times here. There is more

than one race here. I am just watching Galen Rupp, the training

partner of Mo Farah, moving strongly down the back straight into a good

position. Some good opportunities for British athletes today. There

are a queue of them, Charlie Grice towards the back, Lee Emanuel right

up to the front in the back of the lead group of eight or nine. This is

the interesting part of the race, because Souleiman and colleagues in

their -- and Collins in that. And various Augustine Kiprono Choge, in

the front. This is the Commonwealth 5,000-metre champion from 2006.

Remember in that race, Mo Farah was ninth. He has come an awful long way

since then. Augustine Kiprono Choge has not comes quite so far. These

athletes are running extremely strongly down the back straight. It

is going to be a competitive race. Souleiman is an athlete with a lot

of potential. They both look a bit tired. Coleman still has half a

chance. August in Jodie -- Augustine Kiprono Choge is being chased down

hard by Souleiman. It is going to be tight and will he get their? Yes, he

does! Souleiman takes second place. The winning time is 3.50. A lot of

them are quite a few seconds behind. A great race in the end, a fitting

race for the Emsley Carr Mile. It is nice to see somebody like Augustine

Kiprono Choge, somebody who understands the traditions of the

distance running, and he has won it on two occasions, and not many

people have done that. A lot of great athletes have won this one in

the past. This was the springboard for Sebastian Coe and he will have

enjoyed watching this before it comes down to the track for a

special presentation in a few minutes. Augustine Kiprono Choge, an

athlete who has never been sure of his best distance. I always felt he

should have stayed around the 5000 metres, but he won the Commonwealth

and beat Mo Farah into ninth place. Here he comes in the 1500 metres,

strong in the finishing straight. Souleiman of Djibouti really

finishes calmly. He left a little bit too much to do, but Augustine

Kiprono Choge wins the Emsley Carr Mile, the 61st winning of the Emsley

Carr Mile. Souleiman will see an awful lot from him in a few weeks.

His prizes to turn straight round and walk at the home straight to

meet Sebastian Coe, who was there to maintained in a race which has stood

the test of time over the years. Sebastian Coe won it in 1977.

Augustine Kiprono Choge, our winner Augustine Kiprono Choge, our winner

came away with Olympic gold last year. He has been dominant this year

apart from one competition, and that it is first entry, his first

Voltaire. 5.70, and flew over. Luke Cutts of Great Britain, he is still

in there. He has had one failure at this height. 5.74 a first attempt,

that is how good this guy is. A metres. The young lady in Burgundy,

Allyson Felix, is the one that everybody is looking at at this

moment in time. Allyson Felix has not been running the greatest

200-metre races recently, but we know what she is capable of. She

became the Olympic champion on this very track last year. There is no

wind at this time, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that we see a

swift 200 metres. We have already seen how fast the 100 metres women

are going, so these women want to good afternoon's athletics, and the

standard of some of the events has been better than some of yesterday.

We have got a great winning's 100-metre final to come. This

200-metre race is packed with talent. An interesting opportunity

for the likes of Anyika Onuora. She is on scintillating form. We have

got Ana Claudia Lemos Silva on the inside, and various Deedee Trotter

on the outside. I am told that she is becoming disillusioned with the

400 metres and has decided that she is going to turn her attention to

the 200 metres. She is 30 years of age and that is an odd point in your

career to do that, but that is what we are told. Anneisha McLaughlin is

a former youth champion. She is on reasonable form. This is a great

young talent, the double world junior sprint champion last year,

just 19 years old, 22.32 already this year. And there is Allyson

Felix, and as Colin was saying, at a great start to the season, she has

really struggled to find her best form. She is not running the 400

metres in the World Championships. She was in the relay at Monaco last

week. Shalonda Solomon, former US champion at this event. Also former

junior champion. Anyika Onuora is having a brilliant year this year,

including the 400 metres. This is the event which she enjoys the most.

She has been doing well at the 100 metres as well. She has a good lane

at lane four. Lashauntea Moore, another former youth world champion,

now 29 years old. Jodie Williams is still just 19 years of age. Another

great talent. Ana Claudia Lemos Silva, from Brazil, she is in lane

one. Nine athletes in this. The wind has been interesting, and Colin

might have a better idea down there. He said the wind was in their faces

for the 200 metres. It has been swirling around a little bit. Not

just too much wind, just a breeze. The winning's 200 metres here, how

good is Allyson Felix? What sort of form is she on? She has not raced

this event since the American Championships. She finished second

there. Pretty even start, and a good one from Allyson Felix. Shalonda

Solomon is going well. But it is Allyson Felix who will lead them

into the home straight. Anneisha McLaughlin is there. Allyson Felix

is starting to struggle. Shalonda Solomon is coming at her. She will

have to fight to hang onto this. 22.42. To me, that looked like too

much hard work for Allyson Felix. The old Allyson Felix would have

glided through that last 50 metres and pulled away. Just for a moment,

about 30 from the line, you just thought that Shalonda Solomon might

catch, but she took the win. There was a slight headwind in the home

straight. Shalonda Solomon takes second place. Colin, you are a big

fan of Allyson Felix. She still doesn't look to be on top form to

me. I would really worry for Allyson Felix if we didn't know that her

coach is great. It would be interesting to see what Alison

thinks of this race. We will be able to talk to her later. She was wide

around the bend and did not her get as well as we know she can do.

this point, we expected her to ease away from the field, but it was a

struggle for her to take this victory today. It was a relatively

slow time of 22.41. We don't not -- know what kind of work she is doing

at the moment. She may still be relying on her endurance and she has

been working on earlier this year. Perhaps we will see her reach that

magical 22 second barrier. She looks like she is working harder than we

expect of her. But this is an Olympic champion, a world champion,

and I am pretty sure, when the time comes, she will get it right and the

liver. -- and deliver. Let's hear this stadium last year. It was be a

great feeling to come back. It has been so special and I am happy to be

back. Tell me about the race and where you feel you are right now.

Just final preparations. Last year was a long year, and I am taking it

slowly this year. I have some more work to do. What has been the

general game plan? I have been training for this year and taking it

slowly, making sure my body is OK. This is the last race before

Moscow? Yes, the last one.We wish you well in Moscow. Thank you very

much. much.

for her second competition of the afternoon. She is taking part in the

long jump, trying to duplicate the start of the heptathlon where this

time last year she was looking forward to make glorious couple of

days. 6.29 with a slightly battered left ankle last weekend. We will see

her a bit later on in the long jump competition. And we will see Mo

Farah later on as well in the 3000 metres. We are counting down to Mo

Farah coming back out on the track. He was out here earlier and had a

great reception. We have been reliving some of the great moments

of London 2012 this afternoon. Eton Dorney was a rich source for hours.

We had eight medals in total, and four of them were gold. Let's go

room I could pull story -- a remarkable story. This is going to

be about the snow for great written! -- about goats now for

the line. They are making history here! They have been glorious here

this morning. These are Olympic champions. We have done it! We have

done it! We have done it in style! What we are seeing right now is a

dream come true. And Katherine Grainger is alongside

the NAB, the epitome of try, try, and try again. Can you believe it is

one year ago? Know, people kept saying, you must do something for

the anniversary. It is unbelievable. We have been watching BBC One all

day today. You are looking at what to do next, whether you should stay

with the programme and go to Rio. You have been talking to other

Olympians about retirement and whether or not it is the right thing

for you. At you made up your mind? No. I had about two hours ago, but I

am not sure now. When you come back and see all the magic here, you

speak to anybody, everybody is reeling last year. It was the most

incredible summer. This hasn't helped. You get the bus back and the

magic. The amazing thing is, everything is that ever since people

have been funded, careers are lasting longer. You don't have to

stop and cause of money. We are very well looked after physically and

mentally. It is an option to go on, not quite for ever, but until you

start losing. I have been told by experts that my body is still

willing. I think the crunch is the mind, because you need to have the

hunger and the drive. This all looks incredible. Everyone would take

this, if you were offered it. The reality of the day-to-day brutality

of training, testing and trialling, you don't always have thousands of

people supporting you. In the middle of winter you on your own trying to

get it right. If you can buy into that, you can go in. You are smiling

as if it is a thought process you know. Yes, I used to call it the

bubble, when you are in the training environment and you are locked down

in hard training. Sometimes it gets hard. Sometimes it might be nice to

have a normal life. And then injury comes along and you experience

normal life for a bit. Then you just want to go back. A lot of the times,

the mind is willing for a long time and the body is not willing any

more, and that is when it is time. But if the body is willing, I would

say stay with it! The 3000 metres steeplechase is just

heading off there. We will come back to that in a moment. While we still

had you here, we have been talking for the last couple of days about

the longer lasting effects of the incredibly stressful -- successful

summer. Ireland are hearing that within weeks of the Olympics, rowing

clubs were turning people away. They could not cope with demand. Is that

still the case? What has been incredible is that every sport felt

the impact of 2012. Everyone I have spoken to in various sports have

seen a huge effect, people coming in and trying out for the first time.

And what is great is that we have experienced the worst winter

possible for outdoor sports. People have stuck at it and are still at

it. Now we have got to the summer, it is a lovely time to be outside.

As far as rowing is concerned, it is booming. And again, Iraq's act -- I

expect that increases your MPs yet. -- your enthusiast. When it becomes

more mainstream, that must be satisfying. Yes, and we saw with

Steve Redgrave, someone he kept the sport in the public eye and has been

successful when a lot of the -- a lot of other sports won't. We have

always had a certain level of attention because of him. Since

then, the sport has blossomed. Everyone has taken part and been

successful, and it is special to be part of a sport which has been

inspirational to so many people. Thank you for keeping to inspire

others. It is great to talk to you. Whichever way you decide to go and I

am sure you will have success. At you qualified in forensics science?

I have just got my Ph.D. In criminal all. It the leading group there. It

is only Matt Hughes, the Canadian, who is trying to break up the East

Ackford in agony. -- the East African hegemony. This is what we

expected to see, the Kenyans dominating. It is a Kenyan pack

year, none of whom are going to the world Championships because of what

we talked about, the Kenyan federation has brought their

athletes back. Those who are going to the World Championships are not

allowed to race here. It is the best of the rest, but in Kenyan terms,

that is good. This is the event that, for some reason, there are

lots of theories about it, that they have dominated more than any other.

The first 1000 metres has been completed in 2.40. That is the

fastest we have ever seen people attack this race. Really, when you

think it is the best -- the second best Kenyan here we call the best of

the race... There are two Mac races here today. The British athletes, we

will have to keep a close watch on them. James Wilkinson is amongst the

British athletes. He is looking for a good time. They are running an

eight minute pace. He is aiming for first kilometre, 2.36 is the world

record set by Saif Saaeed Shaheen. He is another Kenyan. The pedigree

in here, we talked about the fact that the world champion -- World

Championship entrants are not here from Kenya. Haron Lagat has been

asked to take them through lap. Gilbert Kirui and some others are

separating themselves from the rest. James Wilkinson and Luke Gunn and

Mark Draper, those British athletes record, eight minutes and eight

seconds. Keep an eye on that will stop at the moment they are heading

for a good time. The pacemaker is doing a good job. Because there are

three athletes leading the race, there will be a good pace when the

pacemaker drops out. Brimin Kiprop Kipruto, world champion in 2008,

Olympic champion in 2007, world champion. He was a second in 2011 in

the World Championships. He was only fifth in the Olympic Games here last

year. He was fully expected to be selected for the World

Championships. He has come here on the European circuit. He has taken

the opportunity today to try to show us that he should have been in the

World Championships. He moves on to the outside in the yellow vests, the

tall figure of women Kiprop Kipruto. He is clearly on good form, third

place in the trials. They are coming down with two laps to go in an's

steeplechase the familiar sight for Kenya, one, two, three. You have to

work hard at this event. James Wilkinson is coming up with two laps

to go. 6.21 with two laps to go. He Hit at the British title from Luke

Gunn. These canyons - might these Kenyans if they were at the World

Championships at would be in the running for the medals. They are

running for the medals. They are going to set up very fast time.

This could be a very fast time here today. There is one lap to go. It

is just short of 400 metres so we could be looking at a UK all-comers

record. Gilbert Kirui hits the front now. He is running strongly.

He moves to the outside. The one thing we are going to get for

certain here today to real race down the back straight. The barrier

in the back straight often split the men from the boys. Watch them

as they approach the water jump will still --. Gilbert Kirui is

still leading. There they go straight over the water and under

the track -- on to the stack. Gilbert Kirui is the youngest of

the Kenyans. He is 19 and holding off the more experienced man.

Brimin Kiprop Kipruto is going to get there. He takes it on the line.
