Diamond League - Brussels Athletics

Welcome to Brussels, the final Diamond League meet of the seasons.

There are 59 world championship medallists here. You could say we

have saved the best till last. Huge stars here tonight but none

bigger than that man. All the athletes, the big names arriving in

various vehicles, but they saved the best till last, as in the case of

Usain Bolt. That man has so much charisma, as do my guests tonight,

of course, Colin Jackson and Denise Lewis. Our first race this evening

is loaded with talent. Our commentary team are waiting to call

this one for you. Good evening, Gabby, good evening, everybody. For

many, it is one of the best. This wonderful stadium with such

wonderful heritage and this meeting. First event, the 400 metres

hurdles. Tinsley could win this. Double

points tonight. Felix Sanchez, the Olympic champion, has had a rib

problem. And this man here has a chance to win the Diamond rated

tonight. Rhys Williams, what a chance to win the Diamond rated

consistent year he has had. In Italy, ye had a good race there. And

the world Championships, of course, why one by this man, Gordon. The

American was outside him in lane six. Gordon can't win the race

tonight. Tinsley, yet again, went in as the world leader, came out with a

silver medal. Away cleanly and this crowd of

50,000 have created a great atmosphere here tonight. A

knowledgeable crowd. And there's Tinsley.

Needs to get into the top three yet. Tinsley just starting to get moving

now, so is the world champion. But it is Colson that is leading. And

Gordon is trying to get there. And then he goes, the world champion,

pulling away, and it is a win for Gordon. No surprise, given he is the

man who carried the form through. Williams in seventh place in the

end. Tough out there in lane nine. Not the best hurdle race of the

year, but this is the man who won the world Championships and has

finished off on a real high year. Colson always goes out hard like

that. He must've thought, I've had this tactic before. This race is

like his season, it runs out of steam. Yes, and Gordon was so strong

in Moscow when he just how. Tinsley. He went off so strongly, Colson. But

in Moscow when he just how. Tinsley. he tends to fade in the latter

stages. He really powered his way past Rhys Williams in the early

stages. One thing you can say for Gordon as well, his technique is so

strong. But Colson was in the hunt for the Diamond League race, and

that was what he was looking for. Rhys Williams finished in eighth

place or so. So disappointing the world Championships. Again, the

quality he's up against here, though. Colson did well because he

held up Tinsley. They have been given exactly the same time on the

computer, but because Tinsley is in the top two, it means Colson will

win the Diamond race. They go. Two points added to his 13. Gordon could

never get the win tonight, but he will finish in second place. But he

was our winner tonight. Packed stadium as though here. They

love their athletics here. And coming up, we have the women's and

then the men's 200 metres. Watch out for Usain Bolt. Every run under ten

seconds. Christine Hall Ruby was also out as well. We will be

covering all of those races for you. Plenty to look forward to this

evening. I believe Rhys Williams is just

behind me. Have you got your breath back? How are you? OK. Out of

breath, but OK. I am disappointed. That end of season time and the

feeling that it is the end for you now. Yes, and the same for everyone.

It's a long season. You were disappointed the last time I spoke

to you. What were your reflections after Moscow? I set myself high

standards. I was disappointed in Moscow. Colin, it's always tough. By

the way, a busy studio here! Plenty going on. You may say we are sharing

it with lots of people. Always disappointing when you set yourself

those goals and you have two look forward to a hard winter's training.

I know Rhys Williams very well indeed. He never shies away from

hard work on competition and set himself very high standards because

he knows how hard he is working and what he can achieve. What has been

ground-breaking is breaking that barrier. It is an excellent platform

for him to work on the next year. Two big championships that he has

got to nail. He's also got the Commonwealth Games. No pressure!

What's the plan the winter? A few weeks off and then keep pushing.

It's just trying to step up to the next level. What do you think you

have to do? Is it a case of more flat speed? Next speed, I definitely

have to do? Is it a case of more need to work on my flat speed, yeah.

Your disappointment just emphasises how much it means to you, of course.

Just keep going, keep pushing. Now the women's 100 metres. And there is

Fraser Bryce. It's running that sets her apart from anyone else. But it

is about setting goals. But this lady, she needs to feel that she is

reigning supreme. Alongside Usain Bolt, she is the best out there.

Yes, you can challenge her? But there is real quality here. Two very

strong Americans there. As we have been talking about, she has reigned

supreme. We will talk about the challenges she has had of late.

Injuries caused a few problems. Really, she has had a free ride. The

biggest ever winning margin in the world championship. But wait -- but

here we have Tiffany Townshend of the USA.

Away they go. This is a display of power sprinting. A demonstration,

just coming through. But Fraser Price utterly dominant. That really

was unchallenged. What a race there! That is a new record. Into a slight

headwind as well. Very nice condition and said this evening.

Familiar, good start. No real pressure once she is first through.

Familiar, good start. No real Clear air between the Jamaican and

the rest. And that has been the story of this season. It has been

all about her. And a brilliant season of consistency, right from

the early meetings. And then, that run in Moscow.

Since last year, she has been almost completely dominant. I wonder if she

gets her start, but she is really a 200 metre runner. She has the long

jump as well. But Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, talk about the demise

of others, and Kelly Anne Baptiste. Carmelita Jeter was her real rival

but she has had injury problems. It was Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce against

the clock there. I wondered if he was going to sneak below 10.70, but

a fine way to end the season. There is confirmation of the diamond

race, this was already her, she has won the 200 metres as well. So that

puts the seal on her dominance in the sprints.

Taking her lap of honour inside the stadium here. Here are the results.

A meeting record. Two other women sneaking under 11 seconds.

Earlier on this afternoon, we had the women's discuss.

Melna Robert-Michon of France. A silver medallist in the World

Championships, throwing very well, early door, 63.45. She hung on for

third. The silver medal here in Brussels went to lieu Swiss small

wood. Expected to challenge for a medal.

In the World Championships but she was very disappointed with her fifth

place performance there. Gia Lewis-Smallwood. It was good enough

for second but nobody could touch Sandra Perkovic the

for second but nobody could touch World Champion, the big Croatian,

spun it out to 67.04. She has been very consistent over the last 24

months. She has only lost one of her last 15 performances. That was to

the American of 67.04, nobody could surpass that, so she won

convincingly in the ind and of course the Diamond League.

-- in the end. She was untouchable at the Diamond race winner. It

remains to see whether anybody can beat her over the next couple of

years. Here are the top three and the rest,

but Sandra Perkovic the dominant force in world discuss throwing at

the moment. We have a few moments to recap on

that performance, she really is head and shoulders above the rest at the

moment, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. You could argue this is the last race of

the season, she is enjoying her status at the supreme sprinter in

the world at the moment, but she status at the supreme sprinter in

never eases up. The thing is the most difficult thing for the

athletes at this time of year is the meantle battle they have, in picking

themselves up again, especially after the season she has had, so

successful this year, so consistent, but also having said that, there is

an element of relaxation that comes in your running, she shows she is in

form. She knows she has to let her arms and legs do the job. Ever since

he said it it reminds me of Michael Johnson saying somebody presses a

button and she goes, for one so smiley she had an incredible focus,

and then she the back to being herself. She is a supreme racer. She

is a racer. I think that is the most important thing. She knows what it

is about. She has been winning since 20086789 so when you say becoming

the Meg star, so was Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. She was the one

developing as well. So it is not a Fraser-Pryce. She was the one

surprise that what she is doing, I think she is getting the true

recognition because she is so dominant. Not only just the one

hundred, the 200, she is finding good form in, I think that she is

coming into that realm of supremacy. Three years out from Rio, is that

too long to maintain that status? I don't think so. I think she makes it

look effortless, the big challenge is the injury free. Hopefully we

will catch up with her in a moment. It is the men's 200 metre, we were

hoping to see Adam Gemili. We are represented with Chris Clarke and

James Ellington. There is the full line up there.

We are a few seconds away from the start. Worth mentioning that Chris

Clarke ran 20.22 in Bedford and all of a sudden has

Clarke ran 20.22 in Bedford and all this company.

Walter Dix in the middle in lane five. I can't see him. He is 234

camouflage. What he wearing? ! Walter Dix is inside Warren Weir, of

course the Olympic bronze medallist and world silver medallist behind

Bolt. So what can Chris Clarke do here? His first opportunity, in lane

three, Ellington is in lane one. Watch out for Ashmeade in four as

well. Dix gets a good start in lane five.

Chris Clarke trying to chase Ashmeade. Ellington has a good

start. In lane one as well, but it is Ashmeade leading them. Then

Dixon, weir, starting to pull away, that lovely style of his, Warren

Weir going well, finishing quickly, it will be weir from Ashmeade and

Dix, Clarke just got the best of the Brits there.

-- Wear. Dix got an incredible start Wear not

to good. Ashmeade looks add though it might

be his night. Warren Weir with 19.87. We have had some great races

here, you go back to 2011 and Blake and Dix was second. A great start

from the American but Warren Weir seems to get better. I was looking

at Chris Clarke in lane three, a big step up from Bedford to Brussels,

but Warren Weir is just, there is not much too him but he flows over

the final 50 metres, Chris Clarke coming round the bend looked

uncomfortable but it is a beautiful finish from Warren Weir, he rightly

is the champion of the Diamond League race. If it weren't for Usain

Bolt he would be the preeminnocent 200 metre man -- preeminnocent man.

He has talked about trying out the 100 more, he is just outsued 10

seconds for that, this is where his strength lies and what strength.

-- outside. . Weir, he is only going to get

better, quicker, whether he will be able to challenge Blake when he

comes back and Bolt will be round for at least another three year, he

has won the diamond race for the 200 metre, Bolt could have had a go but

decided not to, he left the way clear for his team-mate to earn some

welcome dollar, 40,000 $. Ashmeade with a season's best and Walter Dix

who had a hang string injury and missed most of the season coming

back strongly. Chris Clarke 24.45 -- 20.45.

Thank you. I can introduce James and Chris into the studio. How do you

feel? It was all right. Bit disappointed to have lane one, that

is the way can cookie crumble, sometimes, and, it was a good race.

I can't complain. I am sure it is Chris Clarke but you have an extra

C, I think. I would have liked to have gone quicker. You had that

fantastic time earlier in the year. About a month ago I was running

20.9. Who knows. . Just wanted to go quick e but I don't know, I felt a

bit flat. Compared to the time you posted the other night. What do you

put that down to? The time last week? No, tonight.I am not sure. I

felt like I was OK, but it wasn't as strong as I was maybe in Bedford two

weeks ago. And what happens now? End of the

season for you, how do you get on? Not too sure. It is my birthday

today. Many happy returns. I didn't mean exactly now? I want to see how

I feel later on. I won't party too hard. See how big the celebrations

are. I don't normally celebrate but tonight I might have a little dance

and that. It has been a World Champion season. It has been good. I

can't be disappointed. I am looking forward to next year so I can build

on it and running serious times. That is the plan. Good luck with

that. Thank you. Thank you Chris. Chris Clarke without a C. Normally.

Let us move on then. The women's 3,000 metres steeplechase. A really

strong field including Eilish McColgan who came 10th in Moscow.

The one and two from Moscow there as well.

It has been an injury blighted season for Eilish McColgan. There is

the World Champion, Milcah Chemos. The Russians seem to have slipped

away and the east Africans are rising. Assefa there, she fell in

away and the east Africans are the final of the World Championships

but still managed to come through, still managed to come through to

take the bronze medal, so she might feel she has a point to prove. The

other medallist was Dan Lydiate -- Lidya Chepkurui.

The Kenyans and the Ethopians very strong.

Eilish McColgan, the problem with her left shin which arose before

Rome. She hasn't had the track time. The impact time running, but she is

dealing with it well. Person Personal best in the World

Championships. She finished tenth. What can she do here? This will be a

quick race. We have pacemakers to take it out. So we will see what,

what the fancied runners can do and what Eilish McColgan can run.

The I think good opportunity for Eilidh as you say, at the front we

will see something quick. Schmidt has been asked to do through for the

first 1,000. That is because crepe crew who was second to -- Chepkurui

says I can't beat chairman. I want to win this race here in Brussels,

the only way can I do it is if I have a fast pace. She asked the

organisers to get it out there, you can't have a gap like that, you have

to go through it. You can't ask for fast pace and not go through. It is

up to Chepkurui to get out there hard and try and make it a hard

race. Unfortunately it doesn't look as if she is prepared to do that.

There is a big screen but it doesn't show the race. She can only find out

by looking round. The rest of the race not going with that pace, as we

head quickly to the high jump. It is early days.

This is Kuchina. She sails over it, the second attempt.

It is a terrible attempt first time round. That is better. Form Former

world youth champion. She is only 20. One of the stars of the future.

She goes clear at 1.93. The pace is beaten out and most refusing to go

with Schmidt. Milcah Chemos is hanging bat at the

moment. We talked about the Russians, the world record still

held by them, the former Olympic champion. She is the only woman who

has gone under nine minutes. A six second gap back to the next one.

Interesting to see what Chemos can run. I think some of these improve

they could go quicker. If you watch Chepkurui, she is the one in the

white, what do you call that, hair, help me out. Hair band or whatever,

for tying her hair back. She, I thought here is an athlete who

Kenyan athlete who will get to grips but this but her hurdle technique,

she is taller than the rest, she should make room for the hurdle. She

jumps too much. She has got a, a good few inches taller than Chemos.

She often stutters going into hurdles as the pacemaker steps off.

You see her checking her stride. When we get into the latter part of

the race. That Hurd le technique becomes more important. One of the

guys who has got a chance of winning the Diamond

guys who has got a chance of winning the League for Greece. He is the

Diamond League leader at the moment and all he has got to do is finish

in the top two. Here goes one of the world's best. In brilliant form this

season. He lost the world title. But he still considers himself to be the

best in the world at the moment. Early doors yet, but well on the way

to winning the Diamond League. She was right on British record pace

and if she could just keep in She was right on British record pace

with a couple of them coming at the back of the race because it is a

hard race. She is strong on the last lap but it is these middle laps

where she has two remain in contact. The only European here in this

leading contingent. Doing incredibly well. Barbara's record is one in

which she is capable of. She has talked about her hurdling technique

improving. She does hurdle straight over the water barrier now. She

prefers that. And again, just moving past the others. And we had to the

high jump. Absolutely sales over there. She has been in brilliant

form this year. Russia on top of the medal rostrum. McColgan there, as

form this year. Russia on top of the the race continues apace and the

sideways hurdling technique of the leaders. McColgan hanging on. She

has been working in Nepal and cross trainer. -- in the Paul. These all

adds up to seconds, and second that up a little bit further. A real

stumble there in the water. Given the job of trying to keep the pace

going. Unfortunately, McColgan is dropping

well off that British record. She has got to attack it. Try and put a

bit of the Burstyn. -- of a burst in. These will begin to separate

themselves now. At this stage of the race, you really can lose or gain

significant amounts by your hurdling technique. The three medallists from

Moscow are out in front. These three, as they come to the Bell...

The pace picks up between these four here. But the world champion ahead

now. She looks to see where she is and she is right on the shoulder.

She felt she could have taken the title had she not fallen in Moscow.

She is finishing far stronger. She may have something still to give.

But it is between these two. But the world champion coming through to

take on the line. She has the stronger finish. She add this title

to her world title. She really does endorse that she is the best in the

world at the moment. You cannot take this away from the

winner. She has just got more pace than everyone else. Even though she

doesn't take the hurdles that well, she has enough when she comes off

the last hurdle to be able to pick up again and go again, which none of

the others are able to do. The Ethiopians are definitely getting

better. It's just that changing gear there,

coming off the last barrier. She had that extra bit of acceleration and

there is no substitute for that. The world champion wins the title here.

And McColgan goes to New York for the fifth Ave mile. -- fifth Ave

race. And just fails. Big disappointment

for Luke. He has made great strides this year. Almost got selected for

the world champions ships. His season comes to an end. His best

jump today, 5.50. McColgan just inside 9.40, but I

know she was hoping for a little bit more than that.

The word was in Moscow that you had prepared most of your work of the

track and perhaps that would be the last race of the season. However

been since then? Exactly the same. I have been doing the cross trainer

every day and doing everything I can to maintain my fitness. I feel I am

starting to dip a little bit now. I think it is still my third quickest

time ever so I can't really complain. I had worked so hard to

get myself to Moscow, I felt it would have been a bit of a waste

today. I have got this today is my last steeplechase. I have got the

New York fifth Avenue Road Marl as well. After New York, what will

happen? I will reassess everything and see how the legless, get a scan,

see if it is any better, and take a big rest, really. I am going to do

4-6 weeks of just nothing, to it heal. Well done, and I know it has

been a great effort to get heal. Well done, and I know it has

up to the World Championships and beyond. We are building up towards

the men's 100 metres. All eyes will be on Usain Bolt, but that man as

maids a great breakthrough this season, running under ten seconds,

to become the fastest -- the second fastest Brit of all time. Around the

hotel, they have been talking about, is he a bit tired? I am not tired at

all. I have been rested and had a solid block of training so I am

really confident about this race. It is not just Usain Bolt, there is

Gatlin, a fresh -- a French guy, a number of Americans. Everyone is

running underneath ten seconds so I expected to be very close.

Yesterday, he was talking about people coming through and throwing

names around, and yours was one of the names that came up. Me and Adam

have both made the World Championship final, semi and Adam

are out there is one of the better Championship final, semi and Adam

British and European sprinters. Me and Adam will always be the names

coming up. We will try our best to represent our country in Europe as

well. A very level-headed young man.

Reported to have had 20 injuries in five years. It was his birthday

yesterday. The hero of the world of athletics, doesn't matter where you

go, he is the man, of course. And he loves it here in Brussels. At his

press conference, he was talking about when he will stop, after Rio,

but he was talking about how much he is enjoying himself at the moment.

He will be have to be on his game, though, because Justin Gatlin and

beat him in Rome, of course. Nesta Carter ran that very quick time in

Madrid. Lane eight, Michael Rodgers, the American who came into the World

Championships. And bled men, from Trinidad and Tobago, in lane nine.

Two we didn't see their, Collins and the French man. He hasn't raced

since the World Championships. Usain Bolt was in Zurich last week. In

Belgium, everybody loves him. Of course, you can understand the

camera is concentrating on Usain Bolt. He seemed very relaxed

yesterday and really looking forward to is opportunity here. Usain Bolt

needs to be on his best. A pretty good start. Gatlin is going well.

And Usain Bolt just starting to come through now. 9.80. And Usain Bolt

does what he always does, please is the crowd, pleases himself, wins,

almost at ease there. Rodgers came in at a season's best there. What

will you do when he finally says goodbye? He has already set the

clock ticking on that. While he is here, let's enjoy him. A long year

and a year which hasn't always gone the way he would like. But for the

second half of the season in particular, he got himself right and

has continued through to the end of the year. Who knows what he would do

next year? But for now, this is Usain Bolt not exactly flying at his

best, but it was pretty good. Again, he knows he has not been at his

vintage best this season, that must he knows he has not been at his

have been worrying but there is better to come. You wonder if he has

peaked in seasons is past, perhaps, that Beijing and Berlin were his

greatest moments but he is comfortably better than the rest.

You see him alongside Gatlin, who has won the Diamond League. This

wasn't a Diamond League race. He has taken the overall. Bolt doesn't gore

for that, he wants the big titles and, easily victorious here, once he

got into his running, Dasaolu, after that start, I watched him, he was

running almost along the line there. You know what I like about him,

apart from everything else? He just wants to win. It hasn't diminished.

A desire to win is still there in abundance, yes, he has a bit to

spare over everybody else but you have to come and do the business as

it were. Well there isn't a diamond race, so

this is the result. Rogers had a seasons is best. --

seasons. Dasaolu was eighth.

He is with me now. Hi James, talk us through the race. For me it is about

trying to execute, I don't feel like I executed the start as best as I

could. So I was lacking a bit. It looked a bit like it wasn't your

best start, what, what happened when the gun went? I gave it my best.

Maybe I got distracted. But I came out of the block, I might have been,

talk you through it now. We will have a look back on it I think maybe

I was too low, maybe if I had been higher, you can see I am just

drifting a bit to the left, that doesn't help. Just in your lane.So

I have lost probably one an extra metre or so. Looking at you in

Moscow, you do tend to drift to that side. I don't know, in terms of any

of the hip flexor injuries has that been affecting you. The left side is

hip I hurt. It makes sense for me to drift to that side if the muscle

switches off, but I am trying to run in a straight line as you tend to

do, but for me, I was a little to the left a bit. I will try and

improve that. Things to improve in the closed season, after a

successful season like this, it is the positives you have to take out

of the season as well. What do you take out? When I am looking at the

season I had goals of running sub ten, I have done that. I made the

final in Moscow, I hope to improve on that year on year and challenge

for medals. Yeah. It has been a great season, to run sub ten, second

pastest British man of all time, getting to that final in Moscow, all

the things you go into the long hard winter months that you can draw on.

I think it is great when the top sprinters are looking at our boys

and saying respect. You announced yourself into being true world class

athletes and you deliver when it matter, in your mind set to go into

the winter knowing people respect your performances it inspires you a

bit more, when it is dark and cold, to put that extra work in. As you

said in the meeting, it has been a great summer for British sprinting,

with Adam Gemili going sub 20 in that final as well, and other strong

performances which must help when the pack is going well. Of course,

from senior level to the European, junior level we had world youth

medals so all event, across the board, you have seen us pick up

medals. It bodes well for British sprinting. Inspiring each otherOf

course, thank you. Big season next year, European Championship,

Commonwealth Game, enjoy the closed season. We are coming up to the

women's 400 metres, Christine Ohuruogu with that incredible win in

Moscow, her rival was beaten on the line. She is an incredible champion.

The only British female to win a second gold medal on the world

stage. She spoke to Steve earlier. Will she

be quick enough Amantle Montsho, will she get there. Christine is

coming, she just made it. Did she get it?

We are waiting. She's looking. We're looking.

She's got it! Another gold medal, Christine Ohuruogu is the World

Champion again. It was great I had won and great I

got the British record but it was more the race, people remember the

race itself as opposed to the result. You know, a few people have

told me they have had heart attacks, and they lost their voice, and I

think it is more the excitement of the race, and that is good. It is

great to kind of whip up that kind of his #2er contra, it is good to

give people something nice to remember. Can you do that in a

one-off race. People will look at you, it's the Championships where

you are the Christine Ohuruogu at her best comes out. Can you do it in

a Diamond League race? Yes, I can. I think once I set my mind to it, I

ran well in London, Birmingham, whenever I have to do it, I do it.

It seems to be a theme. But it is about, you know, I have learned a

lot from the season, so it is about being able to judge the race well

enough. It's a big ask, but it is still, I still go for it, regardless

whether it can be done or not, I try my hardest. Well she can't win the

whether it can be done or not, I try Diamond League race because Amantle

Montsho can't be caught but she has raced more than she normally raced.

She has increased her racing programme this year. Yes, I think

she knew she had to do something different. This is a very important

year for her, off the back of the Olympics, she needed to race, she

has done that and managed to time, as she does, her best performances

for the Championships. I think she can run well here, she is relaxed

and she knows she has the work in her legs. First time she has been

back on the track against Amantle her legs. First time she has been

Montsho since Moscow. Will there have been a doubt about coming out

one more time after that dramatic finish to that final. She will enjoy

the challenge. She will know that Amantle Montsho wants to do. I think

Christine will go I am the World Champion, I got that because I

worked so hard. Let us go to the track then.

Here we are, nearly a month later. This is the World Championship final

Here we are, nearly a month later. again, all eight are here.

Libania Grenot the fastest not to qualify from the semifinals. This as

good as it gets. Can Christine Ohuruogu transform that big

championship form into this year. Can she go below 50 seconds I wonder

outwith a major Championship? Kseniya Ryzhova finished in third

place in the World Championships. There is Libania Grenot. The Cuban

turned Italian. Lane four we have Natasha Hastings.

Francena McCorory in lane six. Amantle Montsho has won the

indictment league race. She still has nightmares where she

is leaning back, and Christine Ohuruogu is sneaking through to the

world title. Can she reverse it here or will Christine Ohuruogu triumph

again? Away they go. And we know, we know

that Christine Ohuruogu will leave it late. She always does, but how

can this lift her, this meeting? She is sitting back at the moment.

Sitting back, as Amantle Montsho tries to move through and Christine

Ohuruogu in lane five. We know she has a lot left in the final one

hundred metres but Amantle Montsho looks strong. As we expected.

Out wide as well, the two Russians off strongly.

In lane three, Amantle Montsho comes round in the lead.

Will she yield this time? In fact she is alongside. She has company in

Natasha Hastings, Hastings looks stronger. Co-Christine Ohuruogu

looks spent. She has nothing at all. Hastings might take this and Natasha

Hastings has the victory from Amantle Montsho. Christine Ohuruogu

languishes a bit. She has nothing more. But Hastings, she led coming

round the bend from Amantle Montsho. A smile from Christine Ohuruogu, she

congratulates the winner, but Christine Ohuruogu nowhere there,

and Amantle Montsho beaten, a rare defeat, only Christine Ohuruogu

McCorory have beaten her. Natasha Hastings outside 50 seconds. Some

tired bodies out there in that race, but a good victory from Natasha

Hastings. I agree. And that is what happen,

the meet director was talking about I agree. And that is what happen,

you never know as a meet director what you are going to get. Amantle

Montsho does win the diamond race, she has been the most consistent

throughout the season. She didn't win the one she wanted to, the World

Championships which Christine pipped her on the line, but Christine never

got into it. Round the top, where she is normally good. She puts

herself in a position, then she looks tired at this point. She is

still work working. Hastings takes the win, probably one of the worst

400s, we, we have seen. Not a great one to finish on. It has been a long

year. Amantle Montsho started early but she has been rewarded with the

win in the diamond race. Christine Ohuruogu still has great

memories from this year. Look who has turned up Usain Bolt

has finished his lap of honour, the first thing you usually ask us is

your reaction time. We will tell you live. Not going to let you see it.

0. 180. No! ! I need to work on it. That was poor. The time was better.

The time was better. Getting to your best time of the season. You said

earlier in the week, the one hundred would be the harder world record to

break. You feel that, that is as fast as you can run or can you run

fast never I can run faster. It is about, I started my season off

poorly. Got injured, then the older you get the harder it is to get back

poorly. Got injured, then the older from injury. I have to make sure

during the season I don't get injured and continue working, then

when I get into the season it should be good. Have you enjoyed this

season? Yes, kind of. It wasn't the perfect season, or the best season

of my career but I think the main thing is I finish on top and I

dominated so that is good. Steve Cram said earlier when we were

enjoying the #1re7ion you got here -- reception you got here, was what

are we are going to do, what will the sport do when this man decides

he has had enough? We are looking for signs you might not be enjoying

it as much. I still enjoy what I do. I said it in a press conference this

is one of best crowds, the guys give me energy no matter what, this

season I was coming out here, thinking about wink, after that I

was like, you know what I need to run fast and see what I can do. It

wasn't the perfect start. If I had got a better start it would be 9.7

or below. I am going to say what you could do. Try running a few indoor

meets. Could work. You need a sense of

urgency when you do the 60 flat. That may be something that will

start to get you triggered? Is that something you have thought about. I

asked my coach but we haven't really discussed it. Not much need for

indoors in Jamaica. When you run 60 metres, it is not 100 metres, I have

to try and make sure I get into the race at the start, so it would be a

good idea to try. For us with we are excited about the Commonwealth Games

and you didn't quite commit to that. I don't know what I am doing. My

coach makes the big decision I would love to go. I have said I would love

to go and say I have a Commonwealth gold medal but my coach is the one

that decides whether it is the best gold medal but my coach is the one

thing or not. We will see what happens. You know, it goes without

saying we want you in Glasgow next summer. We will do anything to get

you there. We have loved you, enjoy your rest. Enjoy the down time.

Thank you for chatting to us. Bye guys.

He is going nowhere. Let's get out and enjoy some more field for the

moment. The only one attempting five metres

81. Haley goes. First attempt. And he sails over! That was a lovely

vault! Still on course to win the $40,000. Somehow, he has got to try

vault! Still on course to win the and make sure he is down in third

place. He has been so dominant so far this season. He only won the

silver medal in the World Championships, a massive

disappointment to him. That's an interesting view. There is one of

his supporters, his coach, just watching, and he nailed that one. It

wasn't way over, but it was a very good old indeed. -- very good malt

indeed. The men's 800 metres next. Solomon,

a man who was hoping for better in the World Championships. Outside

him, we have Muhammad, and then silly man. -- silly man.

I am looking down there. Mohammed is not there, actually. Lane five is

empty. The pace they have set is reasonably quick. Simmons says he

wants to be the fastest American of the year. The fastest man so far in

this season is Solomon himself. He will be following the pace, as we

would expect. Getting swallowed up there. Any race with Duane Solomon

usually has as the pacemaker. The genuine pacemaker comes through.

They come through a little bit too quick. That is very quick. You must

be wondering, this is like the Olympics all over again. But they

are running at a cracking pace. The 1500 metre man leading it at the

moment. Submitted -- 70 5.2, that is incredibly quick! The two Americans

looking for scrap said. But it is the world champion coming away.

Ethiopia have never won a gold medal in the 800 metres and he has won it

there! Brilliant running from the Ethiopian. What a year he has had.

Win, win, win! World championship gold medal, and now, the fastest in

the world. Goodness me! He can hold as head up high. I quite like this

guy. He talks really well about how proud he is. Men and women have

never won an 800 metre gold medal in Ethiopian. He was so proud of his

achievement in Moscow. When they went through that 600 metres, that

achievement in Moscow. When they was super fast. I thought he would

fade there, but he kept it going well. I think the pace was too quick

for sole -- for Solomon. And this is why he has come away with an

Ethiopian record. This was very, very quickly indeed. A national

record for him. Brilliant run. A new national record. That puts in the

world 's top ten of all time. He, of course, wins the Diamond League

race. Solomon and Simmons share the points for second and third place

there. A season is best for Simmons. We will talk to Christine about your

400. How difficult was it to race again after Moscow? I thought it

would be quite nice to try and keep the momentum going. I know I have

got good runs in me but it is more mentally tough than it was. It is

much harder trying to get yourself back up. It's almost like, well,

what am I hoping for? You said in Moscow will not only was winning

gold the focus, but getting the British record. When you have done

both of those on the same day, mentally, there is very little left?

There is, but I was trying to set myself up to come out. After having

ten days recovery, I can come out and run a bit better than I did. I

would have liked to have had more of a sharper run. There you are,

finishing of the race. It wasn't as sharp. But it's cool. It's just

wonderful you get the adulation here. Yeah, really great crowd. The

Brussels crowd are super. They have cheered us on from the start. Let's

go outside for a bit more field now. It is the crowd that are firmly

behind this athlete now. Only two athletes left. And she just failed

it. She has had a number of failures throughout this competition. She

would normally sail over these heights. Her archrival, Svetlana, a

fellow Russian, has taken the lead at the moment. Two more attempts

left. The battle continues. Not just for this high jump competition, but

for the whole Diamond League race. She has seen what she did it to

metres. She would love to get the advantage. First-time clearance

would be brilliant. Certainly established her as the number one at

the moment. And she was a long way over there! Goodness me, she made it

look so easy! Just looking a little bit cross. She will go again. If she

wins this competition, she wins the Diamond League race. She is behind

by a single point at the moment. Eight points on offer for the winner

and she has the advantage now. A huge relief for me because in

2011, I thought that would be my year to get a medal, and it didn't

quite happen. A little frustration. I was over the moon when I was

finally able to say, I have a medal in my arsenal! When you come to an

event like this at the end of a long year, how do you kind of motivate

yourself? I think, for me, just kind of reminding myself at this point,

it's just about having fun in being competitive, but at the same time,

enjoying it. At this point in the season, the Championships are done,

the pressure is off your shoulders a little bit. That just adds a little

bit more element of fun. I get a little anxious when I haven't

competed in a while. It's been now two weeks since my last race.

competed in a while. It's been now Hopefully, I will put on a good

show. We will see. We will be heading down to that race in a

moment. How do you see your race? A bit of a struggle, and of the

season, along one. But a half decent race in the end. Always a

season, along one. But a half decent place to race. My first time here

and I absolutely love it. This week, no sticking your tongue out

behind Colin NI! Let's get down to the women's high hurdles.

Tiffany Porter here goes in lane three. The first medal for a British

athlete in the World Championships. We don't have the newly crowned

world champions herself, but we do have Tiffany Porter there.

Plenty of support. Great crowd. Harper-Nelson goes in lane four. And

there is Pearson. Kellie Wells, bronze medallist at the Olympics.

Missed out in the US trials. The Russian also made the World

Championship final. As did Cindy, finished seventh, the French

athlete. And finally, Hildebrand of Germany. Just a reminder of the way

they do a line-up here. Porter goes in three.

The women's 100 metre hurdles. Away they go. And Pearson just first to

the hurdle. Beautiful technique they go. And Pearson just first to

coming over the hurdles. Harper-Nelson is finishing well and

she would come through and take this! Dawn Harper-Nelson, despite

that strong start from Sally Pearson, she comes through to take

the bigotry. We mentioned she has also beaten Pearson before. Dawn

Harper-Nelson, the winner. That is what you do when we finish

commentating, isn't it? I'm off to do it now! The old Sally Pearson,

and we know she has had the injury problems since the beginning of the

year, at this point, they are neck and neck, stally got a good start

but Sally isn't able to maintain, she doesn't have the same background

and obviously great hurdling skill but can't make the speed.

Harper-Nelson, it has been an incredibly competitive event. She

missed out in the world, but you finish on a high, and, Tiffany

Porter will be disappointed with a 12, she only dos in at 12.78. Not

the best race she would have enjoyed today. You have to hand it to

Harper-Nelson, she has been consistent, and hits a season high

right when she needs it in Brussels here. Yes, harm Harper-Nelson --

Sally there wasn't the speed there. That is how the diamond race

finishes. Harper-Nelson wrapped it up and makes it more emphatic.

This is how it finished, and Sally Pearson again, next season will be a

strong one for he she will look to the Commonwealth Game, as well.

Cindy Billaud through as well. The Olympic champion Christian

Taylor getting ready for his third round jump. 16.65 his best so far.

He is behind his team-mate Will Claye. Teddy Tamgho has had two

fouls. This looks better. Getting on to 17 metres unbelievably despite we

have the best triple jumpers in the world here, there is nobody over 17

metre metres yet. Teddy Tamgho won with the third longest jump in

history in Moscow. 18.04. Some bigger no jumps as well.

That has brought a smile to Christian Taylor's face. He has won

the Diamond League race already, he has 19 points before. 16.89. Goes

into the lead. Julian Reid in last place. He is doing better than Teddy

Tamgho. The Frenchman has to get a jump on the board here.

Off balance but that looks as though... Will it get him in the top

eight. Only eight will go through. There is ten all together. Means

Julian reed go out. -- Julian Reid goes out. So hopefully the French

ace will be able to relax, produce better technique and produce

something spectacular in the last three rounds.

It is getting quite windy out there, but generally speaking, the wind

favours the athletes. There have been one or two slight

head winds. That was a similar jump he produced in the World

Championships where he produced something good. 16.88.

This to get over, he does it easily. Lavillenie. Filippidis has already

had one failure. And that means Lavillenie, he has

got the advantage. And if the Greek champion wants to

win this pole vault, he has to go higher than he has ever been before.

5.86 looks very comfortable indeed. I wonder what is in store for Renaud

Lavillenie. That sort of form, goodness knows

Lavillenie. how high he can go. Eyes on the

coach. No emotion really, just a little wry smile that said, yeah, my

man has done it well. Lavillenie one of the great

disappointments of the World Championship, the gold look looked

southern to be his but Championships don't always work out the way you

want them to. Hannah England seemed pleased with

her performance. She was fourth in Moscow and there was a bit of a

debate going on between you guys about whether she should have been

pleased with that, and should she have managed her race better? I

think so, that was the debate. If she had been in contention earlier,

should she or could she have got the medal. I am sure she is scapable of

getting them. She needs to race well here, she has finished well and be

optimistic with the coming season to come.

Steve Cram is your commentator. A great 1500 set up here.

Hassan will be a big name coming up. The Dutch, Ethopian, she is running

for Ethiopia, she will be running for Holland next year, Sifan Hassan.

So others to watch apart from Hannah England. That is good. We have had a

false start. Gives me a bit more time.

There is Lavillenie in the pole vault. 5.96. He has won now, can he

go higher? Yes, he can. A beautiful jump by the Frenchman.

His first time clearances every step of the way. The man who will finish

as the world number one, despite the fact he hasn't got the gold medal

from the World Championships in his pocket.

So the pace initially was going to be round 2.8 then Abeba Aregawi,

Simpson were asking the organisers for quicker. Abeba Aregawi said can

we have 2.5, 2.6. Phoebe Wright will have the job of doing that, then

Mary Kuria who is in second, she is going to have some pace making

duties. Where is Abeba Aregawi? She has to be up there, she has to be

duties. Where is Abeba Aregawi? She latching on to them. At the moment,

she is not. Abeba Aregawi must be aware that she didn't win that gold

medal with ease, it was a good performance from her, but Jenny

Simpson defended well she was close, she is in the all black on the

inside. Abeba Aregawi letting the pacemakers go, watching they don't

go too fast, but we could be set up for something good here.

Very familiar position for Hannah England. She hugs the inside. She

doesn't waste an inch over 1500. The pacemakers are taking it out. Abeba

Aregawi is in fourth place, a bit of a a gap between the body of the race

and the pacemakers. Wright was being asked to take it

through in 2.6 or 7. There is that gap opening to the pacemakers. This

must be frustrating. The athletes have said, she has been in Ethiopia

training since Moscow, she was meant to be aiming for this, and all of a

sudden, you are well within your rights to run a tactical race don't

ask the organisers to set it out quick. All the others have been

waiting for her to go. Simpson is taking it on. And Yekaterina

Sharmina. Abeba Aregawi is saying, thank you I will start in behind

you. Playing some games the Swedish athlete. This is what happens when

you. Playing some games the Swedish it is slow. They are pushing,

looking for a position as they approach 800. Phoebe Wright looking

round. She is supposed to take them through in 2.06. She will step

aside. It was not that quick. Nobody was with them. They were looking

round, saying nobody is coming with us, the pacemakers almost redundant.

Kuria is next to do that. Hannah us, the pacemakers almost redundant.

England is on the inside at the moment. It is very bunched.

Hassan is Vice Chancellor a cracking year, she is a thrownian refugee,

moved to Holland six years ago, only started running seriously a couple

of seasons issing a, she has got better and better. She couldn't go

to the World Championships, she has moved to the front. Simpson on the

inside. Hannah England a little box on the curve at the moment. Kuria

brings them to the bell, but they are all there. Everybody is in with

a chance. Not bad for Hannah England but it is not a blistering pace.

This was the dangerous. There it is. It is carnage as they hit the bell.

All, not all go Buckman looks hurt. Pils went down. So, if that is a

result of the pace, it wasn't the pacemaker's fault. It was the fact

the other women didn't go with it. Obiri, Yekaterina Sharmina. That

race has been decimated. Hannah England managed to negotiate

her way through that. Abeba Aregawi in the front now.

Simpson completely gone as well. Looking further down the track.

Abeba Aregawi, Simpson is walking off. Abeba Aregawi will kick away, I

am sure. There is no doubt about her ability to be do that. Mercy

Cherono. So a ruined race. Abeba Aregawi is going to win it. It won't

be particularly fast. Mercy Cherono, then Obiri, then Rowbury. When you

look at, Hannah coming in fifth there. We have seen this time and

etime again, you there. We have seen this time and

a slow race from the start those things can happen, but she can't go,

and I know I can sometimes get criticises for having a go at the

pacemaker scenario, you can't ask the organisers to set them out and

not follow, and then that is all that happens, Simpson coming in,

giving her a smile there. This is where it went down. Simpson caused

it all. See if we can see, it is Hassan in front of her. Hannah

England was almost in the run. She was hell well there, the race was

ruined because so many good athletes were hampered and some went down.

Abeba Aregawi we suspected might win it, she did, but not the whole

story. Very sad to see. Not unpredictable with the way the race

was going. Hard to see what happened there.

Hassan was in a good position, then for whatever reason she fell down,

clipped the heels of who was in front of her. It maybe that Kuria

was slowing down. Let us see if we can have another look. There is the

pacemaker, Hassan is on the curb there. She trips over her own feet

or is he caught from behind. Hannah England does well to side step on

the signed. Buckman, Anderson, Yekaterina Sharmina, and of course

Simpson in the mid middle. Simpson got up and got move moving because

the race was gone. Zoe Buckman ran well in the World Championship, she

hobbled off the track there. Well, she takes the cash and the gold

medal, but won't take the plaudits for that here tonight, it was a

messy race, a shame, it was set up for that here tonight, it was a

to be very fast, I am sure Hannah England will be disappointed with

the way that turned out. Hannah, hi, how did you see that,

because Steve said you would be disappointed I feet good at 500 to

go. I felt, just, I had to jump over the girl,ic took a lot of steps on

the signed. I don't know if I have been disqualified. I had to jump

over. We will show you again. Have a look on the monitor there. Nobody

really can get to the bottom of why this happened? I think some of the

girls to the outside were trying to get out, because it was at the bell.

I have no idea how I didn't fall over. At the end of the day if they

want to disqualify me, I didn't have a choice. It was that or go down. I

think you did very well to recover from that. I can't see else how else

you could have done that That was so hard. I had to jump over the board.

I don't know how I stayed up I had so much adrenaline, it was hard that

last lap to get in the zone and run, it is a shame that is my last track,

1500. You finished in one piece. You happy with your season? Yes, I think

I peaked at Championships and I am happy. I feel I still have a fast

time to give. We will head off to the men's 5,000. It is the men's

5,000 metres. Everyone behind Mo is be out there. One notable absentee,

he will normally be getting ready, but me of is missing, but, the other

nine from the top ten in Moscow are here. This is the line-up for the

men's 5000 metres. Garrett he will be setting the pace

in this one. -- guarantee. Away they go and we hope it will be

a quick one. I don't know how Mo Farah would cope with this pace. No

one has really come up with a really quick race. But Mo Farah is just not

interested in winning titles. Who will win this one and how quick will

it be? Mo Farah is gritting -- getting ready for the great North

run, of course. He has got a busy year next year as well. Anyway, his

coach is never too far away. We saw this a little earlier. This is a

replay of his attempted 6.04, equalling the highest jump in

history. That's how good this guy is. Still one attempt left. The

money is in the bank and he really wants to establish himself as one of

the best. Chance for Teddy. Got the two Americans ahead of him at the

moment, Justin Taylor and will play. A fantastic double act from the

United States. That is better. And the first man to go over 70 metres

in this triple jump on petition. Not quite sure what that's about! Even

in his warm up, they were cheering him. Earlier on this evening, that

was so simple. He wasn't extending himself at all there. Just a little

bit more speed on the runway. In case you are interested, when he

jumped 18.04, it was a six metre 58 jump at the end. There he is, in the

lead now by some margin. The field strung out because they are going

along at decent pace. Very different of race. A good job.

He is reliable. They were wanting to run him exactly at 62. He keeps

looking behind because they are not quite going with him. It's what

happens after 3000. Last round, last jump for the French man. He hasn't

got a chance of winning the Diamond League but he would love to but a

big jump out here. And he may have done... Just. Nobody else has

managed to get close. Both Taylor and accolade, the two Americans, in

second and third place, still have their final jump to come. Even as he

second and third place, still have rocked forward there, a little bit

of danger. He could've made a mark on the Pleistocene. That may be a

little bit further. Slightly off balance on the jump phase but still

pretty useful. Have the Americans got to chase something a little bit

further than 17.27? Yes, they have. The Frenchman still in the lead. And

still, the pacemaker at a decent pace. A little bit more reluctant to

come with him. He was hoping to get close to the US record. Still moving

along quite a good pace. Those are the guys chasing.

But further down, the man leading in the championships has decided to sit

right at the back there. Interesting. The other battle taking

place there is that battle for the Diamond League race. The sole

remaining pacemaker takes them out. The pace was really good the first

1000 metres. But just trying to tease the field after them. The

second kilometre was a little bit slower. We know they will pick it up

the last 1000 metres. Here is Taylor. Last jump in the triple

jump. And Christian Taylor has not got it. But he has won the race and

the $40,000. There's the winner of the triple jump, Teddy. But

Christian Taylor will be very pleased with his efforts over the

course of the season. Lost the world title to a much better jump on the

day. Teddy was out of sight of everybody. One of the greatest jumps

in history! Christian Taylor finished outside the medals. A big

surprise in view of the fact the year before, he was unbeatable as

Olympic champion. One of the world's great talents. Second

place. More Diamond League points and a whole handful of cash. Yes,

$40,000. Rona has a look around and sees people are still with them. A

$40,000. Rona has a look around and tactical race now. A new,

interesting phase. Rop has started to move to the front, almost on cue.

They are dropping seconds all the time. The pole vault over there.

This was a replay of his second round attempted jump, his best so

far. I was mistakenly saying he round attempted jump, his best so

missed out that little cross at the beginning. His only failure in the

competition, apart from the fact he sailed -- failed 6.04. His coach

will be delighted. We have lost our commentators! The

way that Rob is approaching this race, he has trained hard with Mo

Farah, but also, his personal best in 10,000 metres many years ago. He

is more than capable of producing a real upset. They will obviously have

to work hard, all the way through. An interesting contrast, the way

these guys are approaching this race. They always had to stay

focused. The 5000 and 10,000 metres art like a chess game, they always

wonder about their opponents. With Mo Farah not being with his race, he

can show he is capable distance runner. This is the final Diamond

can show he is capable distance League race of the season as well.

It is those two we looking out in the stages. What we haven't spoken

about yet is how much money these athletes stand to make: $40,000, a

lot of money for athletes. Two laps to go now. The pace starts to pick

up on the guys are starting to look and want to keep themselves right

for the attack. Nobody will want to give up this race. They never, ever

want to lose. As Denise said, when there is money at stake as well, you

understand why these guys are focused and determined. He was

disappointed with how he ran the 5000 metres in Moscow. He is trying

not to let anyone come past at this stage in the race. I am watching

Bernard find himself there, which is interesting. It's the bell now. We

have seen it so many times on the bell. But he hasn't got the strength

of Mo Farah and the others taking advantage of that. And they are

still jostling for their positions there.

Can this make amends for that disappointment in Moscow when he

finished six? One of the great kickers. The second fastest in

history. A fabulous run there. The rest of them pouring across the

line. The winning time. Not the fastest time in the world. But maybe

wishful thinking on the part of the organisers and arson the media who

love to see great, fast races. But that was pretty quick and it was a

great race. Rupp 13.0137 in fifth. A season's

best for the American. Thomas Pkemei Longosiwa in sixth.

Alamirew getting clipped with over 200 to run.

But boy so boy, Alamirew, the head nodding, a glance over his shoulder,

working so hard to beat the grand old man Bernard Lagat.

Jager, 13.02. . By over 12 seconds, it is a personal best. It helps to

get in quick races with solid pace making.

Koech 13.03 in ninth place. The times were fabulous.

That was Tim Hutchins from the world feed. Apologies we have had a power

failure in the commentary box. It was a great 5,000 metres. 400 metres

is the final race on the track. It could be said. I am 26. It could

have been like not a make or break, but it would have been a tough thing

have been like not a make or break, to swallow, so to go and run in the

relay was great. It gave me the hunger. I had three races left. It

is exciting. You are racing -- your raying in Zagreb must have given you

confidence Yes, I have not been well, to run a season's best at this

time of years not 100% best. And to beat Ms Lack who has been

competitive. -- Ms Lack. So what do you expect? It is is a

big race, for them here in Belgium. It is an exciting one. The Belgians

love them. They are big names here and to go in a race against them, it

would be nice, I am coming into shape, to give them a good run for

their money. I think I have lane seven tomorrow, so, yes, if I can be

with them at 50 to go, see what happens.

Well, I am pleased to say we are back with you.

Back with Rooney, a bit of a power problem in the commentary box. And I

am not sure what happened but if Colin and Denise commentated that

5,000, well done to them. What a great climax we have to this

meeting. I can't understate how big these bros are here, Martyn Rooney

taking three of them on here, and they have a younger sister who is

not allowed to run in this race. Young Dylan has joined Jonathan and

Kevin. They are big stars of Belgian society. We have mans.

In is not a Diamond League race, but it has been saved for the crowd, I

should say it is half-time in the Belgian Scotland match apparently.

And people in Belgium are eagerly awaiting their chance to see their

heroes, and Martyn Rooney waiting his chance to run here. When he went

to Moscow after his injury problem, he kept saying things are starting

to come together. He ran well in the relay, you heard from him, that good

race in Zagreb earlier in the week. He beat Mazlak.

So Josh Mance, 21-year-old American. He was in that race in Zagreb. Hiss

best time goes to the beginning of the year.

Masrahi. Sixth at the World Championships. The man coached by

John Smith. Steel, won a medal in the 4X4. Of course representing

Jamaica. And then Jonathan Borlee, just outside the medals. A huge

cheer. Belgian, Belgium doesn't have many

star athletes these days. Galvan of Italy. Then Kevin Borlee. The twins

that have been switching personal bests over the years and medal, and

it was Jonathan who had the better of the World Champions this year.

Kevin only made the semifinals. So Martyn Rooney, for so long

Britain's number one, he is now with Rider and said things are coming

together for him in Loughborough. Then Dylan Borlee, the three

brothers ran in the 4X4 relay, they weren't that far off a medal either.

Incidentally they have a couple of half brother, the oldest is only 12,

a bit of pressure on him to get good quickly. They could make their own

4X4 team. Nicholas Maitland, the Jamaican on the outside.

So the last event of the evening. We have all the plugs safely in, the

fuse boxes have been sorted out. Let us hope we can finish with a good

race. The crowd will be really into this, but let us hope that Martyn

Rooney can build on that good race earlier in the week. Rooney is in

seven, last to go into his blocks there.

Men's 400 metre, last vent of the evening.

-- event. Clearly away, the crowd immediately

into this. If anything perhaps Kevin Borlee

started quicker in lane six than Jonathan in lane four. Martyn Rooney

going well. Maitland out in lane nine. He needs to start quickly for

the first, and he has done. Kerr village Borlee and Jonathan Borlee

starting to make inroads and inside Jonathan Borlee Steel going well in

the yellow. Steel might just have this, but Rooney is in the scrap

with the two Borlees. Maitland is on the outsite it is Jonathan Borlee

from Rooney. Rooney is looking strong in the home strait. Marin

Rooney is going to get there, or is he? I think he did. 45.04. They are

saying Jonathan Borlee, Rooney leaned at the end. It will be very

close on the line. Well, the crowd want Borlee to win

and maybe he did just do enough in the end. He wakes over to Rooney,

and in fact it has gone up on the screen. You would expect it to. No,

I was right. Thank you very much. Martyn Rooney did get it.

You know they put it on the screen here that Jonathan won, watch this,

he doesn't, it is a shame this is all happening at the end of the

season for Martyn Rooney, what a gutsy run. The dip of Rooney, even

on that slight angle. There is the gutsy run. The dip of Rooney, even

photo finish, he did visit. Given the same time but you can see that

Martyn Rooney with that finish had it. The noise inside the stadium,

just, I think a few of them still think that Borlee won that one, but

very very strong from Rooney. He is finishing his season strongly, it is

very very strong from Rooney. He is a shame it is too late. It augurs

well for Martyn Rooney. I mean the sort of form he is now,

he would have had a good chance of making the semi-final at least. We

know when he is in shape and fit he is good. Maybe there is time in his

career, he is obviously in the latter part of his career now, he

has plenty of years ahead where he could run quick time, so 40.50 a

good season's best. More importantly could run quick time, so 40.50 a

two wins this week. One in Zagreb and here in Brussels. Spoiling the

party for the Belgian, I am sure they won't mind too much. Martyn

Rooney, getting those bristles ahead. Good job he didn't have a

shave before the race. It will go down to the thousands of a second.

It will be the same time on the official result.

45.05 for the two of them. A personal best for Galvan.

That wasn't what the crowd were expecting. Here he is, don't you

dare go anywhere else. Spoiling the Borlee party. Yes. I am happy to win

here, like I have been ill for the last week-and-a-half, so to finish

with a season best, and to, I haven't beaten any of the Borlees

for a while. I am happy. Your quickest time of the season, in the

last diamond looking of the season. My coach, like I only joined him in

February, and I was lucky to train in South Africa with Oscar

Pistorius, from January, I started my winter. So it is a bit late but I

can build on it for next year. Have a good winter. And Steve is wanting

more off the facial hair, but a good winter. And Steve is wanting

is between you and him. Well done, thank you. A great way to finish the

night. Martyn Rooney was disappointed earlier on in the

season, it's a short season, but so much can change and happen, moment

of the season from you? Moment of the season, that is a Tuffey. But I

guess for me, it has to be Christine. I won't forget that

feeling seeing, that nail-biting finish, a great champion, great

result and very well deserved. finish, a great champion, great

Breakthrough performer? Adam Gemili in the 200 metres. It was a

phenomenal young man that produced an incredible season. Breathtaking

sprinting. Great Britain breakthrough? That is not easy.

Maybe Jessica Judd, the 800. I think A-levels, having to contend with so

much and to go under that two minute barrier is fantastic. International

performer? I am going to go for Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. It was

between her and Bondarenko. To me she has to be the clear world class.

The global. We have loads more athletics for you. On Saturday it is

the great city games. Christine Ohuruogu, Sally Pearson and David

Oliver headlining. And 9.30 the great north run. Mo Farah, is star

manager the men's and in the women's you will see Defar Andy baba go

head-to-head. It is going to be a fantastic weekend. We have had

wonderful moments, in what is supposed to be the year when

everything is working self out. We have enjoyings your company

throughout the Diamond League, we will leave you with some of the

great performances from another cracking athletics season. Hope you

have enjoyed it and we will see you next time.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce holds on. She won't just make it. She has just

made it. Mo Farah is going to get there again.
