Diamond League - Lausanne

:00:55. > :01:03.Geneva, we are in Switzerland. We have a good sprinkling of British

:01:03. > :01:11.interest and the main event should take under ten seconds, as it has

:01:12. > :01:17.Tyson Gay. Good evening and Denise is making her Diamond League debut.

:01:17. > :01:24.First time in Lausanne as well? I am excited to be here. I have

:01:24. > :01:29.watched this meet time and time again, last year in particular with

:01:29. > :01:38.the sprints. We are going to go racing straightaway. Christine

:01:38. > :01:43.Ohurougu is in the first event the women's 4 hundred metres. -- 400

:01:43. > :01:49.metres. She must be confidence after Birmingham. Yes it was a perfectly

:01:49. > :01:59.judged race. She didn't get caught up in the Superfast times. I think

:01:59. > :02:04.

:02:04. > :02:09.in this type of race, she can come out and run a good race again. There

:02:09. > :02:14.seems to be a more relaxed Christine this year. She has set her stall out

:02:14. > :02:22.that she wants to have fun with athletics and run fast times. The

:02:22. > :02:32.only way to do that is to get out and mix it with the big girls:

:02:32. > :02:36.

:02:36. > :02:46.and mix it with the big girls: over to our commentary team. Novlene

:02:46. > :02:46.

:02:46. > :02:56.Williams is another with a very consistent season. Reggina George

:02:56. > :02:59.

:02:59. > :03:09.completes the line up. Well Montshow was beaten by Christine Ohurougu in

:03:09. > :03:19.the last stride in Birmingham. 50.63 to 50.64. She has had a fabulous

:03:19. > :03:22.

:03:22. > :03:29.season so far with big wins around the world. Christine Ohurougu is in

:03:29. > :03:34.lane 5. Away they go. Christine Ohurougu always goes off slower than

:03:34. > :03:38.the rest and then finishes strongly. You can see Christine Ohurougu in

:03:38. > :03:46.the yellow shoes is being closed down by Hastings and Montshow.

:03:46. > :03:53.They're the big names. In lane 2, Atkins has gone off the quickest of

:03:53. > :03:59.all. Atkins leading, Williams-Mills has gone off hard too, the Jamaican.

:03:59. > :04:07.This is where it starts to tidy up. Christine Ohurougu has a lot of work

:04:07. > :04:12.to do. They come around into the straight and a fabulous run from

:04:12. > :04:22.McKrorry. Her comes Montshow, will she get there? She is. Christine

:04:22. > :04:23.

:04:23. > :04:32.Ohurougu is finishing fast, but Montshow and McCorory. 50. 36 the

:04:32. > :04:42.winning time. It was a nicely judged race by McCorory and I am pretty

:04:42. > :04:43.

:04:43. > :04:50.sure she won. She does get it. 50. 36 is confirmed and Montshow just

:04:50. > :04:57.beaten once again. She is polishing her act. She leads the diamond reeg

:04:57. > :05:03.so -- Diamond League so far. Just a hundredth of a second slower than

:05:03. > :05:07.the American. George was third with a personal best from lane 8. That

:05:07. > :05:13.was a good race. Christine Ohurougu didn't get into it. She didn't

:05:13. > :05:17.impose herself between 200 and 300 metres and paid the penalty. There

:05:17. > :05:23.was far too much to do and she will have learned another lesson from

:05:23. > :05:29.that. She was closer in Birmingham last weekend. And really it was run

:05:29. > :05:39.down very early on and I know that happens with Montshow. She goes off

:05:39. > :05:42.

:05:42. > :05:49.quickly and McKrorry did as well. - Mc McCorry krory as well.

:05:49. > :05:57.Williams-Mills came through. Month show versus McCorory and McCorry

:05:57. > :06:04.just gets it. Novlene Williams-Mills taking third place. But Christine

:06:04. > :06:09.Ohurougu on this day, 51.03. She won't be happy with that. Montshow

:06:09. > :06:19.is becoming more vulnerable. Of course, Christine Ohurougu is a

:06:19. > :06:25.Championship competitor and they all fear her and so they should.

:06:25. > :06:31.Christine Ohurougu alongside me. You left yourself a bit too much to do?

:06:31. > :06:34.Yes it wasn't a good race. Where did it go wrong? It wasn't good from the

:06:34. > :06:40.start. I don't think I had enough commitment going into the back

:06:40. > :06:47.straight. After the result in Birmingham when you beat Montshow.

:06:47. > :06:53.Were you advised with how that went. I did, I expected more from myself.

:06:53. > :06:59.To give context, have you been in hard training, because you are such

:06:59. > :07:06.a Championship preformer, this a a bit why you seemed to be behind the

:07:06. > :07:15.pace? No, I don't think so. It was a bit windy down the back, but I don't

:07:15. > :07:19.have any excuse. Tripes next?Yes. -- Trials next?Yes. So a bit of a

:07:19. > :07:24.disappointment after Birmingham? think so. I expected more I think

:07:24. > :07:29.judging from her reaction, so did she. She never got in contention at

:07:29. > :07:34.all from the gun and she left a lot to do. But we are used to seeing her

:07:35. > :07:41.doing that. We expect her to pull back in the closing stages. But she

:07:41. > :07:51.just didn't have that. Now here what is is coming up in the next couple

:07:51. > :07:51.

:07:51. > :08:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:08:43. > :08:47.The athlete to look out for is the Ethiopian Abbey aAbeba aAbeba

:08:47. > :08:57.Aregawi. She is representing Sweden now, the European indoor champion

:08:57. > :09:29.

:09:29. > :09:37.Americans together there. And Wallace. And that is Lea Wallace

:09:37. > :09:41.there. It depends how the race was run really. But they are looking for

:09:41. > :09:51.63 seconds. We will see whether the pace-making is good or bad and

:09:51. > :09:56.whether the athletes will go with it actually. The women's 15 hundred

:09:56. > :10:04.metres under way. The two pace makers are out in front. There is a

:10:04. > :10:09.bit of pushing and shoving. The two pace-makers look to be moving away.

:10:09. > :10:14.Let's hope they are not going too quickly early on. They're a bit away

:10:14. > :10:20.from the field. They have asked for a fast time, but the pace-making has

:10:21. > :10:26.got to be respectable and got to be recognised as being efficient.

:10:26. > :10:36.is right. The pace-makers have got to look around and see what is going

:10:36. > :10:44.

:10:44. > :10:51.on. And pay attention to conditions around them. We are hoping for a

:10:51. > :11:01.quick time. Now the pace-makers have looked around and slowed down at 400

:11:01. > :11:23.

:11:23. > :11:28.metre, they were no use until that Aregawi just at the front, looks

:11:28. > :11:38.very comfortable. Uceny is there as well. She has had problems falling

:11:38. > :11:39.

:11:39. > :11:43.in races and hasn't been able to get in contention. I was talk talking to

:11:43. > :11:49.Morgan Uceny's coach, he said she has a problem with a fear of where

:11:49. > :11:58.she is positioned in races. He said her training is going fine, but she

:11:58. > :12:02.needs one confidence-boosting run to get back into the groove. Gega is

:12:02. > :12:12.leading. They go down the back straight and the pace-makers are

:12:12. > :12:21.looking over their shoulders again. It is the most erratic bit of

:12:21. > :12:31.pace-making. Hilali there, the youth champion in 2003. She was seven

:12:31. > :12:31.

:12:31. > :12:39.seventh earlier. She was a quick bit quicker a few season seasons ago.

:12:39. > :12:44.Abeba Aregawi is just outside Gega. She is tucked in on the inside.

:12:44. > :12:54.They're coming to the bell, and the pace hasn't been great, 64 the first

:12:54. > :13:03.lap. And then let's see what this last lap shapes up to be. Uceny well

:13:03. > :13:13.positioned in fourth. Uceny moving into third, behind Abeba Aregawi.

:13:13. > :13:17.

:13:17. > :13:24.You will Segar Gar go for it shortly. Hilali leads. Here goes

:13:24. > :13:30.Abeba Aregawi now. Hassan chasing and with 200 metres to go. Abeba

:13:30. > :13:34.Aregawi is a majestic athlete. And looking to attack. But there is no

:13:34. > :13:41.way past the young woman who has been so dominant all the way through

:13:41. > :13:47.the season, Abeba Aregawi. Hassan in second, Hilali in third. They come

:13:47. > :13:54.through to the line. It is a quick time, but Abeba Aregawi well within

:13:54. > :14:00.her compass and in second place there was Hassan of Ethiopia. She is

:14:00. > :14:10.a 40 4 at her best this season. The race goes to the script really.

:14:10. > :14:16.

:14:16. > :14:20.There is no way that Abeba Aregawi is being beaten this year. She can

:14:20. > :14:26.run the race however she likes. She can run from the front, she can run

:14:27. > :14:33.from 300, and the others in her wake, and I do mean and her weight.

:14:33. > :14:40.It was a good run, and a demonstration of 4.02.11. She runs

:14:40. > :14:50.it how she once. Yes, and all the hard running coming in the last 250.

:14:50. > :14:51.

:14:51. > :14:54.I get the impression that she could have run about 57, 50 7.5. It was a

:14:54. > :15:00.steady tempo for four minutes, which would have been 3.12. Disappointing

:15:00. > :15:07.in a way, she has won that race by a country mile in what was in effect a

:15:07. > :15:11.tactical race, 4.02 point 11, and the finishing speed, there was lots

:15:11. > :15:16.more left in the tank, and Abeba Aregawi looking head and shoulders

:15:16. > :15:20.above the rest of the world at the moment will stop she looks totally

:15:20. > :15:26.and utterly relaxed. A little look at the clock, yes, I have done it

:15:26. > :15:33.again. She's unbeaten, and on this sort of form, she is unlikely to be

:15:33. > :15:40.beaten. She represented Sweden. And that is a big victory for the

:15:40. > :15:50.Swedish if she can do that. There is the confirmation. That was a

:15:50. > :16:03.

:16:03. > :16:13.personal best for Sifan Hassan in absolutely dominant. -- there are

:16:13. > :16:17.

:16:17. > :16:20.the points. In the long jump, it proved to be a very close encounter.

:16:20. > :16:26.The first place for Shara Proctor of Great Britain. The world indoor

:16:26. > :16:32.bronze medallist, having a jump of 6.92, a fifth round jump,

:16:32. > :16:36.representing her season 's best, and she is in good form. And Brittney

:16:36. > :16:41.Reese had to take second place, the Olympic champion. Trying to get the

:16:41. > :16:45.crowd going. She is so erratic, and once again, it proved to be. It came

:16:45. > :16:53.in the fourth round, with a hanging technique that was better than some,

:16:53. > :16:58.she followed that with a sub six metre jump. Blessing Okagbare, a

:16:58. > :17:06.very fine sprinter, has had a respectable series, just overtaking

:17:06. > :17:13.the Olympic champion. The former Olympic dons medallist in 2008, in

:17:13. > :17:23.the long jump, she is going well. Remember, she had that 7.14 metres

:17:23. > :17:23.

:17:24. > :17:33.in the land, earlier in the year. -- in Doha. You could not get much

:17:33. > :17:38.closer than that. That was a season 's best for Proctor, as I said. That

:17:38. > :17:46.was a nice performance by Shara Proctor in third place. It bodes

:17:46. > :17:51.well for the world Championships. Next up is the women's 200 metres.

:17:51. > :17:56.Carmelita Jeter was very poor in Birmingham. Yes, she was just out of

:17:56. > :18:02.sorts. You think, why, a woman of that calibre, it didn't make sense

:18:02. > :18:12.to me. But I understand what it is like. Sometimes you need to get some

:18:12. > :18:17.races in, hence why she is here. athlete you have not seen on British

:18:17. > :18:22.Greens is Kimberlyn Duncan. She has beaten Allyson Felix. A number of

:18:22. > :18:25.young athletes came through in those trials. Yes, and in a big way.

:18:25. > :18:33.Anyone that can beat Allyson Felix in the 200 metres is certainly

:18:33. > :18:38.someone to watch. The first look at her, I cannot wait to see her

:18:38. > :18:48.running. She is not used to the circuit. She is fresh out of the

:18:48. > :18:53.

:18:53. > :19:02.collegiate system. That is going to be interesting. Also, Briana Rollins

:19:02. > :19:12.in the 110m. Yes, it will be interesting to see how she gets on.

:19:12. > :19:19.

:19:19. > :19:25.The women's 200 metres, back to the last year, and a semifinalist at the

:19:25. > :19:29.Olympic Games. It shows you a great deal about the standard of those

:19:29. > :19:39.European Championships last year, with all due respect to the

:19:39. > :19:52.

:19:52. > :20:02.Ukrainian. Kelly Fraser Price is not champion, in five, Carmelita Jeter,

:20:02. > :20:10.

:20:10. > :20:16.Jeter has got off very quickly. Kimberlyn Duncan running a good

:20:16. > :20:25.race. Coming down the straight, and it is Kimberlyn Duncan trying to

:20:25. > :20:30.come through. Look at Mariya Ryemyen, she steals that from the

:20:30. > :20:38.Americans and the Jamaicans. That is a rarity. She cannot believe it!

:20:38. > :20:44.Goodness me! And the wind speed of plus 1.4, so our season 's best.

:20:45. > :20:54.Mariya Ryemyen. She was fourth in Birmingham on Sunday, and outside 23

:20:54. > :21:00.seconds. 22.61, here. She is notching up a series of good runs,

:21:00. > :21:10.the Ukrainian. She was the winner at Moscow, the winner in the European

:21:10. > :21:11.

:21:11. > :21:21.Championships, and here, tonight, in Lausanne. The high jump is now at

:21:21. > :21:22.

:21:23. > :21:32.2.46 metres. It is a world record attempt by Bondarenko of the

:21:33. > :21:43.

:21:43. > :21:49.Ukraine. Well, he has got two more attempts. He took three attempts at

:21:49. > :21:53.2.41, but he has got two more attempt. The meat on to -- comment

:21:53. > :21:56.on Mariya Ryemyen of the Ukraine. That was a very good run. She could

:21:56. > :22:03.not believe that she had won that race. She did not run a particularly

:22:03. > :22:08.good then. Right on the outside, Carmelita Jeter run well. Leaving as

:22:09. > :22:15.they went into the second half of the race. And Mariya Ryemyen in the

:22:15. > :22:20.final stages, look how she comes past, Williams is tiring up, and on

:22:20. > :22:26.the near side, Carmelita Jeter is being caught by Patricia Hall. And

:22:26. > :22:28.the Ukrainian wins it and wins it well. And the pressure was on the

:22:28. > :22:35.outside lane, and she sneaked through, they did not know she was

:22:35. > :22:38.there. That was a big performance. Looking back down the field. We

:22:38. > :22:46.talked about Carmelita Jeter, she looked much better after her

:22:46. > :22:53.problems in Birmingham. Yes, I think that helped, she did not do that in

:22:53. > :22:59.Birmingham. I was pleased with that. But Mariya Ryemyen, 22.61, just

:22:59. > :23:06.outside her personal best. That is a great run for her. And Kimberlyn

:23:06. > :23:14.Duncan, as well. She has run the 21.8 in the US trials, but it is

:23:14. > :23:20.good to see her, in the mix. Yes, she is there or thereabouts.

:23:20. > :23:25.Hopefully, she will use these races to kick forward to Moscow. Let's

:23:25. > :23:35.talk about more than one the wrinkle in the high jump, going for the

:23:35. > :23:39.

:23:39. > :23:43.world record. -- Bohdan Bondarenko. You said that he could jump 2.4

:23:43. > :23:53.metres in Birmingham. And he has made it, the crowd is going crazy.

:23:53. > :24:28.

:24:28. > :24:38.We have not seen jumping like this 3000 metres steeplechase. Ancuta

:24:38. > :24:45.Bobocel, going through the line-up. The 3000 metres steeplechase. Once

:24:45. > :24:55.again, I am not sure about the experience of the pacemaking in this

:24:55. > :24:57.

:24:58. > :25:00.race. I'm not sure that she can continue far enough. It does not

:25:00. > :25:05.look particularly quick on the uptake, right from the beginning of

:25:05. > :25:13.this race. Certainly, the Africans will feature, as they always do in

:25:13. > :25:18.this. A little look round there from Ancuta Bobocel. All of them there,

:25:18. > :25:28.as they come through the line for the first time, and the race, now,

:25:28. > :25:34.we are looking for 1000 metres in 3.03. They are looking to challenge

:25:34. > :25:39.the world lead which was set in May of 1975 will stop whether that

:25:39. > :25:44.happens or not we will soon see, but certainly, the Africans, not getting

:25:44. > :25:50.in the mix right at the head of this field. Quite happy to sit back and

:25:50. > :25:55.look to see what the rest are doing. There is some familiarity to this

:25:55. > :26:04.line-up. There is a lack of strength in depth on the world steeplechase

:26:04. > :26:14.seen at the moment. Always the same names. Race after race. And a chance

:26:14. > :26:19.to see bohdan Bondarenko. It is quite a cool evening. Nowhere near

:26:19. > :26:25.as 20 degrees. More like 17. That is not a bad effort from Bohdan

:26:25. > :26:33.Bondarenko. He has been jumping wonderfully. He did not quite get

:26:33. > :26:43.those hips over the bar. He is so confident at the moment. Certainly,

:26:43. > :26:43.

:26:43. > :26:50.looking down there, I cannot see Milcah Chemos in that field. I do

:26:50. > :26:57.not ink that she has turned out to compete. -- I do not think. The

:26:57. > :27:06.world number one is not here. She holds the meeting record for the

:27:06. > :27:13.3000 metres steeplechase. And that is at 9.19.87, which she set in

:27:13. > :27:17.2011. This field is not as strong as we have seen in the past. And it was

:27:17. > :27:27.so severe a sever into the driving seat. And he what I, the other

:27:27. > :27:30.

:27:30. > :27:40.Ethiopian. -- Hiwot Ayalew. They seem to take the water jump quite

:27:40. > :27:45.

:27:45. > :27:49.well, but it is still not opening up. A quick look at the men's triple

:27:49. > :27:59.jump. Kristian Taylor, the Olympic champion and world champion. He is

:27:59. > :28:09.

:28:09. > :28:15.23 years old. Pedro Pichardo from Cuba there. Ancuta Bobocel is the

:28:15. > :28:25.only one chasing the pacemaker at the moment. And Sophia setback, just

:28:25. > :28:29.

:28:29. > :28:34.content to sit in the middle of that field. -- Sofia Assefa. She is a

:28:34. > :28:41.major player, with Milcah Chemos not being here. We're not sure why she

:28:41. > :28:45.is not here. 3.07 point 55, they are four seconds outside what they were

:28:45. > :28:54.expecting to do, and I think we can forget about pacing at the moment

:28:54. > :28:59.and look at the race itself. Ancuta Bobocel is leading. Almaz Ayana is

:28:59. > :29:09.in second place. All the principles are now just gathering themselves as

:29:09. > :29:18.

:29:18. > :29:24.they come up with four circuits to Olympic champion, goodness me, has

:29:24. > :29:32.he misjudged things here tonight? He did this once or twice last year. He

:29:32. > :29:39.has been in fine form. Oh, no! Oh, my word! Well his reaction perhaps

:29:40. > :29:49.says it all. He comes here fresh from wince, a series of wins,

:29:50. > :29:50.

:29:50. > :29:55.including a win in Gateshead and in Ostrava. Look at that, he is way,

:29:55. > :30:02.his high point probably, oh, half a metre in front of the bar. He has

:30:03. > :30:10.got the height. He is after all one of the greats of this discipline of

:30:11. > :30:18.all time. Lavillenie. A third attempt at the world record in the

:30:18. > :30:24.high jump by Bohdan Bondarenko, but what a performance. It took him

:30:24. > :30:28.three attempts. He really is certainly he looks as if he has the

:30:28. > :30:34.credentials. That wasn't as good as an earlier attempt at the height.

:30:34. > :30:42.But he is a man we have got to watch out for in the future. The event is

:30:42. > :30:52.changing hands in every sense of the world, the record 2. 45 was set in

:30:52. > :30:52.

:30:52. > :31:00.1993. The hand shake. A wonderful competition the high jump, I must

:31:00. > :31:07.admit. And Lavillenie, look at that. Well Lavillenie has been looking

:31:07. > :31:13.very relaxed through the day at meals with his entourage and he is

:31:13. > :31:19.normally so consistent. I thould think he is wondering what has hit

:31:19. > :31:29.him. That is unusual. He leads the Diamond race with the highest vault

:31:29. > :31:30.

:31:30. > :31:40.in the world this year with the 5.95 he he produced. It has gone with the

:31:40. > :31:41.

:31:42. > :31:46.form book. Assefa leads. They have two complete circuits to go. Diro

:31:46. > :31:55.was second in New York and fifth in Birmingham. We have seen her in

:31:55. > :32:01.Birmingham. Diro in third behind Assefa with the taller Ayalew. She

:32:02. > :32:08.is a tough cookie. She was fifth in the Olympic final. Her sister won

:32:08. > :32:15.the bronze in the the 10,000 in 2009. So it is a family affair. But

:32:15. > :32:25.it will be a sprint finish between these three. It is a shame that

:32:25. > :32:33.Chemos is not here. Ayalew come coming into the jumpment getting

:32:33. > :32:41.into position. Now who has got the finish? Ayalew or Assefa? They come

:32:41. > :32:51.down the straight now, The Got this barrier and then they will look to

:32:51. > :32:55.

:32:55. > :33:02.the bell. 8.04 and 8.05 and counting. Now, Assefa takes over,

:33:02. > :33:08.Ayalew in second, Diro in third. Assefa has performed very well this

:33:08. > :33:14.season. She has always been there or thereabouts. She certainly has the

:33:14. > :33:19.finish. Looking up at the score board as they often do. There is a

:33:19. > :33:27.gap opening between her and Ayalew down the back straight. It is two

:33:27. > :33:31.Ethiopians and Diro has been dropped now. We have less than 200 metres to

:33:31. > :33:39.go. It is difficult to give you a distance, because they are not full

:33:39. > :33:47.laps, they are circuits. Assefa coming into the straight now. Ahead

:33:47. > :33:53.of Ayalew. Now, what can Ayalew do here? Can she attack off the

:33:53. > :33:57.barrier? Ayalew trying hard, but Assefa will take this. Or is she? Or

:33:57. > :34:06.look look at this for a sprint finish, Ayalew may have got that

:34:06. > :34:10.from Assefa. What about that for a finish, 9. 17.66. It is a

:34:10. > :34:20.respectable time, but not the sort of time they were looking for. But

:34:20. > :34:22.

:34:22. > :34:32.we will see. Diro just coming through. She is third. 67. 20 that

:34:32. > :34:36.

:34:36. > :34:40.last circuit. It is a new meeting 9. 17.66 by Hiwot Ayalew. It is a tough

:34:40. > :34:48.event and the legs are pretty dead down the home straight. She didn't

:34:48. > :34:54.look as though she was going to do that and then that surging. Next up

:34:54. > :35:04.it is the woman's 100 metres hurdles. It has a reputation of

:35:04. > :35:05.

:35:05. > :35:15.being close as it was in Birmingham a few days ago. Is Sally Pearson

:35:15. > :35:18.

:35:18. > :35:26.getting back to her best? Pearson with work to do. Haar per takes the

:35:26. > :35:31.win. -- Harper takes the win. quite a race and almost a rerun

:35:31. > :35:36.here? Yes Sally Pearson has been injured and she is on the come back

:35:36. > :35:42.trail. She is looking technically fine, but that speed she is missing

:35:42. > :35:51.in her legs. It is going to be a great race. Dawn Harper is in great

:35:52. > :35:55.form and possibly the one to beat tonight. Sally Pearson won last year

:35:55. > :36:00.in London. Do you think it is too much to expect for Sally Pearson to

:36:00. > :36:06.get back into that kind of shape by Moscow? It is tight on time. But she

:36:06. > :36:11.is a strong competitor and mentally very tuchlt I read a Twitter from

:36:11. > :36:17.her during the US trials that it looks like I will have to bring my A

:36:17. > :36:21.plus plus game. That is the kind of determination she is going to need.

:36:21. > :36:27.The Americans will be sending four people to Moscow with the inclusion

:36:27. > :36:36.of Dawn Harper, who is the dime league winner from last year. --

:36:36. > :36:41.Diamond League. It is a tall order. Tiffany porter came third, perhaps

:36:41. > :36:45.not clicking yet for her? I don't think so. She shows great potential,

:36:45. > :36:49.but in the final half of the race, she needs to be firm in her

:36:49. > :36:53.technique and she is falling away off the hurdles and losing speed.

:36:53. > :36:57.She will need that to contend with these ladies. We are going to give

:36:57. > :37:07.you confirmation of 3,000 metres steeplechase result. It was very

:37:07. > :37:12.

:37:12. > :37:16.close. But it was a new meeting record for Ayalew. Back to the 100

:37:16. > :37:21.metre hurdles. One of the things we talked about in Gateshead is that

:37:21. > :37:27.Tiffany get out well, but then just has perhaps a few balance problems,

:37:27. > :37:31.as if she accumulates slight imbalances through each hurdle.

:37:31. > :37:35.she actually ran a good race in Gateshead. Because she was under

:37:35. > :37:41.pressure. And that is the problem, when the pressure is on and she is

:37:41. > :37:45.around the girls that are running 12.5 and quicker, she tightens up

:37:45. > :37:50.and the speed, you can't hold it. I believe that is down to the trail

:37:50. > :37:57.leg not doing enough work with that trail leg. Now back to reflect on

:37:57. > :38:02.the high jump world record attempt from Bohdan Bondarenko. The record

:38:02. > :38:06.was set in 1993. The form he has showed in Birmingham and what we

:38:06. > :38:12.have seen here and he is just come around here. It would be nice to

:38:12. > :38:17.have a chat. I don't know if he will come here. Can we have a quick word?

:38:17. > :38:22.Congratulations. Your form has been amazing? I think yes. I don't speak

:38:22. > :38:29.English, sorry. We have loved watching you jump, brilliant and

:38:29. > :38:39.good luck for Moscow. Thank you. Congratulations. We were told he

:38:39. > :38:54.

:38:54. > :39:04.could speak English. Not much.It is out at the wind sock in the centre

:39:04. > :39:06.

:39:06. > :39:16.of the arena. We can see that there is a slight back wind. Always an

:39:16. > :39:24.

:39:24. > :39:31.atmosphere here in the stadium. Francena McCorory winning alar. What

:39:31. > :39:40.a good run it was. She has seven points in total. Montshow still the

:39:40. > :39:50.leader in the 400 metre metres Diamond rapeses so far. Ruing is in

:39:50. > :39:50.

:39:50. > :39:57.third. -- diamond rapeses so far. Christine Ohurougu is in third.

:39:57. > :40:02.races so far. Good conditions, but its not warm. There is Stephanie

:40:02. > :40:12.Porter, the world indoor silver medallist last year. She was third

:40:12. > :40:14.

:40:14. > :40:21.in Birmingham. Fourth in Doha. She is having a good season. There is

:40:21. > :40:26.Kristi Castlin. She was fifth in the Diamond race in Birmingham. This is

:40:26. > :40:33.Dawn Harper-Nelson, a former Olympic champion. Kellie Wells is always

:40:33. > :40:40.there or there abouts. A bronze medallist in the Olympics. Lolo

:40:40. > :40:47.Jones, two world indoor titles. Seventh in the the Olympics in 2008.

:40:47. > :40:53.Ali is going well, the world university games champion. She is

:40:53. > :40:58.the third fastest in the world this season. Sally Pearson, the Olympic

:40:58. > :41:06.champion, the world champion, the world indoor champion. Coming back

:41:06. > :41:16.to form after injury and Vaas Vaasty -- Vashti Thomas on the outside. It

:41:16. > :41:32.

:41:32. > :41:42.should be a tight one. Not sure who Wells Jones, Pearson and Thomas, the

:41:42. > :42:07.

:42:07. > :42:15.going well and that is a win for Harper-Nelson with Porter going well

:42:15. > :42:20.from the inside lane as well. But 12.53 the winning time and the wind

:42:20. > :42:26.speed 1.2 metres per second. Harper-Nelson doing nicely. I will

:42:26. > :42:31.check on that position with Tiffany Porter in a moment, but Dawn

:42:31. > :42:35.Harper-Nelson got away with that 12.53. But it was very close and it

:42:35. > :42:39.was anyone's race. The former Olympic champion will be pleased

:42:39. > :42:44.with that. Sally Pearson will be happy. She said she needs a few

:42:44. > :42:49.races to get back. She is fit and healthy, she said, she has come back

:42:49. > :42:55.from injury, but she needs now to race. Harper-Nelson, who only

:42:55. > :43:01.scraped into the American team for Beijing for 2008 and then won it.

:43:01. > :43:07.Lolo Jones was going well. Pearson going well. So was Harper-Nelson.

:43:07. > :43:13.Look at Tiffany Porter on the inside, see what happened to her.

:43:13. > :43:18.She was a bit further down than I thought. But certainly

:43:18. > :43:23.Harper-Nelson, Kellie wells and Lolo Jones. Harper-Nelson started well

:43:23. > :43:29.and ran the most consistent race of them all. She eased into the lead

:43:29. > :43:35.and then actually won it comfortably. Sally Pearson, all eyes

:43:35. > :43:39.on her to see how her season is progressing after that great season

:43:39. > :43:45.in 2012. But she is behind the pace at the moment as that result

:43:45. > :43:55.indicates. She finished in seventh. Although 12. 69 is still on the way

:43:55. > :43:56.

:43:56. > :44:01.to better form. But she has some way to go. There is all sorts of

:44:01. > :44:10.transport in this part of the world! Harper-Nelson is a very good

:44:10. > :44:20.championship competitor. There it is, a season's best. Tiffany Porter

:44:20. > :44:21.

:44:21. > :44:27.down there, look. Tiffani alongside us. A season's best, reaction?

:44:27. > :44:33.it is heading in the right direction. Not a great lane, in lane

:44:33. > :44:40.one, how little bit out of the mix. It is kind of hard to see what is

:44:40. > :44:44.going on, but I just did my best. How are you feeling, technique-

:44:44. > :44:49.wise? Sometimes losing a bit of rhythm? That is something that I am

:44:49. > :44:54.working on, we have a new coach, and I have changed a lot this year. It

:44:54. > :44:59.is just a matter of putting it all together. And with the hurdles, you

:44:59. > :45:07.will be in the mix for Moscow, you have got to be fast. I am happy that

:45:07. > :45:11.it is coming together at the right time. What are you working on, focal

:45:11. > :45:17.endurance, trailing leg, or technique? Just trying to make sure

:45:17. > :45:22.that I get out really well, and working on the trailing leg, so that

:45:22. > :45:32.it would be a problem any more. have every confidence that there is

:45:32. > :45:36.

:45:36. > :45:43.a 12.4 in you. Let us see what happens. Dawn. Come here. Yes, I was

:45:43. > :45:47.very happy about that. You need a lot of composure. You come over

:45:47. > :45:54.those hurdles incredibly fast. It is split-2nd decision-making with no

:45:54. > :46:00.room for error. No, you have to grab and say that I am one of the

:46:00. > :46:09.fastest, so I can. I will try and master that. Just talk us through

:46:09. > :46:13.the US trials. That was some fierce racing there. Yes, it really was. I

:46:13. > :46:17.so wanted to be in that race, but the girls did a great job

:46:17. > :46:23.representing us. I cant wait to get to Moscow. Just talk about that

:46:23. > :46:27.little cartwheel that you just did. I know, a lot of my fans tweeted me

:46:27. > :46:37.about that about the cartwheel, asking where it is, so I made it

:46:37. > :46:38.

:46:38. > :46:44.happen. I am not sure about the ride with the mascot. Yes, he scared me!

:46:44. > :46:48.It was a great race. It was amazing. She is just consistent. Of

:46:48. > :46:53.all the athletes over the years, she has been one of the most consistent.

:46:53. > :46:59.She has had some injury problems, but it is great to see her back, and

:46:59. > :47:07.really strong. She just missed out on the Olympics. The next race on

:47:07. > :47:14.the track is the 5000 metres. A couple of the athletes beaten by Mo

:47:14. > :47:19.Farah in Birmingham last week are on the start list. I have got a feeling

:47:19. > :47:25.that this might be a little bit faster than the race in Birmingham.

:47:25. > :47:28.For sure, it is like the Ethiopians are trying to prove their places for

:47:28. > :47:38.Moscow. So there will be some scintillating running, properly

:47:38. > :47:38.

:47:38. > :48:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:48:19. > :48:29.from highly gibbous alas it. -- former Ethiopian. And until Atari is

:48:29. > :48:29.

:48:29. > :48:35.in there, as well. Bouab Tahri. The bronze medallist in the world

:48:35. > :48:45.steeplechase. That is, he's putting together a series of flat races to

:48:45. > :48:46.

:48:46. > :48:53.get his speed up. The men's 5000, 12.5 laps of the track. The

:48:53. > :48:59.pacemakers are due to go out at 62 seconds per lap, taking them to

:48:59. > :49:09.3007.45. If they do that, we could be looking at something close to

:49:09. > :49:10.

:49:10. > :49:18.12.50. Unit at the mirror with that and win. And the wind has been a bit

:49:18. > :49:24.of a factor. Looking around us, it looks like it might have settled

:49:24. > :49:30.down a bit. Yes, the race looks well spread, early on. This is very

:49:30. > :49:35.encouraging indeed, to see all of them going out with the pace at this

:49:35. > :49:40.stage, and it is well spread, as you can see. It is single file after 300

:49:40. > :49:50.metres, and the drums are being bummed around the arena,

:49:50. > :49:52.

:49:52. > :50:00.Brussels-style. -- -- boomed around the arena. The pacemakers are going

:50:00. > :50:10.well. He has paced many times this year. Taking them through to one

:50:10. > :50:16.kilometre in 2.35 will stop and it is good to see Tariku Bekele? in the

:50:16. > :50:26.lead. He had a race at 10,000 in Eugene, where he finished in 12

:50:26. > :50:27.

:50:27. > :50:32.days. -- 12th place. We will come back to this. We have got the

:50:32. > :50:39.javelin competition. You will recognise the double Olympic

:50:39. > :50:45.champion from Scandinavia, Roman Avramenko, there, as well. He is

:50:45. > :50:51.from the Ukraine. Andreas Thorkildsen is Norwegian. He has had

:50:51. > :50:57.a couple of gold medals in the Olympics over the years. And let's

:50:57. > :51:07.have a look at Konstantinos Filippidis in the pole vault. This

:51:07. > :51:10.

:51:10. > :51:20.is his third and final attempt at 5.72. He has got it! It is his third

:51:20. > :51:31.

:51:31. > :51:41.attempt. Then the third and final attempt at 5.72. Nice vault.

:51:41. > :51:52.

:51:52. > :52:02.Holzdepper and Moore have opted to how the Germans operate in this

:52:02. > :52:11.competition. We can look at Teddy Tamgho next. The Frenchman. He is so

:52:11. > :52:21.erratic. You never know what you are going to get. That looks quite

:52:21. > :52:22.

:52:22. > :52:28.useful. What has he got? He has got the white flag. He can go 16.50, or

:52:28. > :52:34.17.50, this fellow. He got that on the board, good control, the double

:52:34. > :52:40.arm shift in the middle, and a good leg shoot at the end. That looks to

:52:40. > :52:48.me to be a leading jump, it really does. We said that he could give us

:52:48. > :52:57.anything, and he has given us something! He is waiting, but that

:52:57. > :53:02.is going to be, well, the lead. 17.32. Just 0.1 on the indicator,

:53:02. > :53:12.incidentally, and I reckon that is certainly going to challenge the

:53:12. > :53:24.

:53:24. > :53:30.lead, oh, it is the lead. Malte Mohr, and the pole vault, he has

:53:30. > :53:37.done 5.36 this season already. They are battling a slight breeze about

:53:37. > :53:41.end of the arena. They are right up at the far end, and the wind is

:53:41. > :53:47.coming in from the west, and it does not look close, there, quite

:53:47. > :53:52.frankly. It is interesting. They have got the windsock to look at.

:53:52. > :53:57.And it is going all over the place. It is a blustery environment, which

:53:57. > :54:02.makes life very difficult. You can have a simple tailwind to start off

:54:02. > :54:11.with, then it all goes wrong as you approach. Just going through 2000

:54:11. > :54:21.metres in about 5.11. So, the pace is being run to the required tempo

:54:21. > :54:22.

:54:22. > :54:29.of 62 seconds per lap. Tariku Bekele?, He's dropping back to third

:54:29. > :54:39.place, and the struggling having committed so early. The pacemaker is

:54:39. > :54:40.

:54:40. > :54:50.isolated, quite frankly. Muktar Edris? Is in 50 days overall, third

:54:50. > :54:53.

:54:53. > :55:00.in that pack, as they head out. That last lap, 63.46, they have slowed

:55:00. > :55:03.the pacemaker, who try to bring the pack back to them. The gap in front

:55:04. > :55:11.of them is about 12 metres and he is frankly having to act as pacemaker

:55:11. > :55:21.himself. They are not helping a great deal, physically or

:55:21. > :55:22.

:55:22. > :55:27.psychologically. Let's see what Pichardo can do, in this triple

:55:27. > :55:32.jump. He is challenging the performance of Teddy Tamgho, the

:55:32. > :55:37.Frenchman. What can the young Cuban do? He is capable of much more than

:55:37. > :55:43.this, much more than the lead distance. His approach was not

:55:43. > :55:51.totally right last time. He had to trot to get onto the board. I have a

:55:51. > :55:55.feeling that might, it is a red flag. He has got a little bit of a

:55:55. > :56:01.problem with his approach. He got out of it on the previous jump and

:56:01. > :56:08.still jump a long way. He really is capable of winning this, and he

:56:08. > :56:13.knows it. Certainly, Teddy Tamgho leading at the moment. I think he

:56:13. > :56:21.knew that that was a failed jump. He looked straight up towards the red

:56:21. > :56:27.flag. His coach is having a word. Tyson Gay is here. He runs in the

:56:27. > :56:36.100 metres, after the 5000 metres, and he is up against the likes of

:56:36. > :56:40.Asafa Powell, Nickel Ashmeade, and the Jamaican trio. Back to the 5000

:56:40. > :56:50.metres, and the second of the pacemakers moves away with five laps

:56:50. > :56:51.

:56:51. > :56:56.to go. Going through in 7.53.56. But the leader of the main pack, Tariku

:56:56. > :57:06.Bekele? probably went through in about 7.55, and now the racing is

:57:06. > :57:11.

:57:11. > :57:17.on. And Bekele? as led, throughout, and Yenew Alamirew? has not held,

:57:17. > :57:27.and none of the big names have, they are almost jogging now. This last

:57:27. > :57:27.

:57:27. > :57:31.lap taking them about 1.36. And Bekele? thinking, if none of you are

:57:31. > :57:35.going to go with the early pace, I am going to slow it right down and

:57:35. > :57:45.get my breath back and gather myself like the rest of you, for our final

:57:45. > :58:00.

:58:00. > :58:09.place is Aweke Ayalew?. They are very close together, inside the last

:58:09. > :58:19.mile. And Tariku Bekele? must be wondering what to do, because he has

:58:19. > :58:22.

:58:22. > :58:28.got two big kickers right behind Kim -- right behind him, Dejen

:58:28. > :58:32.Gebremeskel and? Hagos Gebrhiwet. If you are not confident in your sprint

:58:32. > :58:39.finish, now is the time to try and take the sting out of the big

:58:40. > :58:49.kickers. Don't forget last week, they will outsprinted by Mo Farah.

:58:50. > :58:51.

:58:51. > :59:01.It was Yenew Alamirew? second and Hagos Gebrhiwet?, but Mo Farah in

:59:01. > :59:09.

:59:09. > :59:16.front of that ecstatic home crowd, this season in second place. He is

:59:16. > :59:26.happy to see the lapse click by. sprinters are waiting for their

:59:26. > :59:26.

:59:26. > :59:35.chance to get out on the aren. S a. Asafa Powell there. This race is

:59:36. > :59:43.coming up after the 5,000 metres. Bekele has eased back and allowed

:59:43. > :59:53.one of the others who has enjoyed the ride so far to come through. It

:59:53. > :59:54.

:59:54. > :00:00.is Ayalew, Almirew. Demalash is back in eighth. These eight are away and

:00:00. > :00:05.the Mexican wave is going around the stadium, almost as a gesture from

:00:05. > :00:12.the crowd to say what happened to the quick race we were promised. But

:00:12. > :00:18.that was a 63.9. They haven't yet put their foot on the throttle. And

:00:18. > :00:23.Ayalew thinking if it is going to be a blast over the last 400, I may as

:00:23. > :00:29.well start it from the front. Make the others run that extra couple of

:00:29. > :00:39.metres to get past you. A former Ethiopian, Ayalew, leading. He runs

:00:39. > :00:41.

:00:41. > :00:49.for Bahrain now. His form has been great. Bekele hits the front. Once

:00:49. > :00:56.again with 500 metres to go. Gegrihiwet moving up on the outside.

:00:56. > :01:00.Gegrihiwet poised now. As is Almirew. They have left to it the

:01:01. > :01:10.last lap. They figure they need to practice their last lap sprinting

:01:10. > :01:14.after the form of Mo Farah with a 50.8 final lap in Gateshead. And

:01:14. > :01:20.then defeating the Ethiopians last week in Birmingham. 300 metres to

:01:20. > :01:29.run and it is still bequayy leading and still nobody is kicking out.

:01:29. > :01:37.They are leaving it very late. Gegrihiwet moves up the outside. It

:01:37. > :01:46.is Gegrihiwet now and Almirew is there as well. Edris, the youngster,

:01:46. > :01:50.supposedly 19 in third. This has become by these men's standard a 200

:01:50. > :01:56.metres sprint. Almirew has the beating of Gegrihiwet by three or

:01:56. > :02:01.four metres and closes his last lap in 54.3. All the hard running coming

:02:01. > :02:07.in the last 200 metres. I don't know whether there was a spoken or

:02:07. > :02:14.unspoken agreement between those men, but 54.3, it is modest by the

:02:14. > :02:21.standards of Mo Farah and these men, but it all came in the last 200. It

:02:21. > :02:29.was a gamble and only one man came out with any degree of satisfaction,

:02:29. > :02:34.that was Almirew. It was a tactical affair by the standards of these

:02:34. > :02:39.men. There wasn't any significant statistic throughout the race, apart

:02:39. > :02:45.from the last 200 and I confess I was trying to time them from the

:02:45. > :02:51.bell. They left it very late. But I suspect the last 200 was around 25

:02:51. > :02:55.seconds. Well certainly Almirew proved that he's got the finish. We

:02:55. > :03:02.saw him against Mo Farah and Farah had the beating of him as they came

:03:02. > :03:08.down the home straight. But Gegrihiwet, the young steshs beaten

:03:08. > :03:17.again -- the youngster, beaten again by a young man with all the

:03:17. > :03:25.confidence in the world. Mo Farah was watching that from his training

:03:25. > :03:33.camp. Next at the scene men's 100 metres. It is six years since Tyson

:03:34. > :03:43.Gay did the double in owe is a Ca. -- Osaka. It would seem that he is

:03:44. > :03:44.

:03:44. > :04:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:04:24. > :04:31.of that 5,000 metres with Almirew winning. There was nothing to scare

:04:31. > :04:35.Mo Farah too much. Men's 100, the big race, Tyson Gay, back in great

:04:35. > :04:41.form, having struged with injury. When you think about Bolt and all

:04:41. > :04:46.the things he has achieved, I have felt if there was one man that can

:04:46. > :04:52.challenge him outside of Jamaica, it must be Tyson Gay. He loves this

:04:52. > :05:00.track, he has run very quick on it. It will be good to see what he can

:05:00. > :05:06.produce. The thing with tie son, it seems a stupid thing to say, I think

:05:06. > :05:10.he genuinely believes he can beat Bolt. A lot of them give him

:05:10. > :05:14.respect, but there is no place for that, you have got to believe that

:05:14. > :05:20.he is down for the taking. The interviews I have seen and read of

:05:20. > :05:24.him. He believes and he is doubling up and running quick over the 200 as

:05:25. > :05:31.well. So I am optimistic. If he can stay healthy and that groin and hip

:05:31. > :05:41.doesn't give him any problems, and he said that I need to stay healthy.

:05:41. > :05:42.

:05:42. > :05:48.Because mentally he is ready. contrast to Usain Bolt. Tie son is

:05:48. > :05:54.not so tall. And none of that sort of fun and games on the start line.

:05:54. > :05:58.Just clear foe Xus. Foe Xussed -- focussed. Focussed and determined.

:05:59. > :06:06.He was gutted. I saw him after one of the end of meet Diamond Leagues

:06:06. > :06:11.last year and he look foreLorne. I think in his mind, he finished

:06:11. > :06:15.fourth in the 100 metres, it was what do I need to do. I think he has

:06:15. > :06:20.crossed that bridge and is back where we have seen him producing

:06:20. > :06:25.great times like in 2009. He could have a similar season again.

:06:26. > :06:35.trouble with injury for Asafa Powell as well. But he has bounced back

:06:35. > :06:39.quickly. He has and let's face it, he's run... How many times over sub

:06:39. > :06:44.10 seconds. But we have always questioned his mental approach and

:06:44. > :06:51.what is left for him to do. He still loves his athletics, he got a great

:06:51. > :06:56.reception tonight. So it is about what type of form is he in. Can he

:06:56. > :06:59.challenge Tyson Gay? He will be motivated. He is not going to the

:06:59. > :07:05.World Championships and it is about coming here and showing what he

:07:05. > :07:09.might have done. It is about pride for him. He has seen a lot of these

:07:09. > :07:13.young Jamaicans coming through and you know he is still capable. Let's

:07:13. > :07:18.not write him off. He is still capable of producing those times.

:07:18. > :07:24.Let's see if he is in the mood tonight. As we said, a track with a

:07:24. > :07:31.reputation of being very fast. I mentioned that world record plaque.

:07:31. > :07:39.It was quick last year as well? Blake was just incredible running 9.

:07:39. > :07:45.69 to win. And Gay finishing second with 9.83. It is insane, but this

:07:45. > :07:55.track produces quick times times. The temperature is a build cold, but

:07:55. > :07:55.

:07:55. > :08:03.if they're feeling up for it, we could see some great performances.

:08:03. > :08:06.Bolt ran 9. 58 here last year. There is Tyson Gay. No body popping.

:08:06. > :08:10.focussed, thinking about his form and what he needs to do and thinking

:08:10. > :08:18.about his start. Because of groin injuries are, his start has been

:08:18. > :08:27.lacking in recent times. He hasn't been able to kwut lies it. But I

:08:27. > :08:31.think that is -- to utilise it. But I think that is over. There is

:08:31. > :08:39.another over Jamaican off the production line. And Michael

:08:39. > :08:43.Rodgers, he can pack a punch. the old man of sprinting, Kim

:08:43. > :08:53.Collins. Maybe we should leave it there and hand to the commentators,

:08:53. > :08:53.

:08:53. > :09:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:09:55. > :10:01.9. 78, plus two metre per second, that is legal. That is legal! The

:10:01. > :10:05.world lead of 9.75. But my goodness me, he is back, there is no question

:10:05. > :10:13.about that. He doubled in the American Championships. He hadn't

:10:13. > :10:19.done that he said for five seasons. That is a very good race indeed. 9.

:10:19. > :10:25.79. Powell with a season's best of 9.88 in second. These two well ahead

:10:26. > :10:34.of the rest of the field. It was a terrific return to form and Mike

:10:34. > :10:40.Rodgers had a good one with a 9.96. The first four under 10 second

:10:40. > :10:45.seconds. We promise youed quick race and it was, Ashmeade was fifth.

:10:45. > :10:50.Tyson Gay has won three world titles. Look at the start here. He

:10:50. > :10:56.says, I have got to work on the first half of my race. Then I can

:10:56. > :11:01.really put a full 100 together. Powell in second place, way ahead of

:11:01. > :11:08.the rest and Rodgers in third. Tim, that was a cracking race? Yes, but

:11:08. > :11:15.you know what? I am going to differ with you, I don't think Gay got a

:11:15. > :11:21.good start. I thought he was lacking -- lagging over the first 20 or 30.

:11:21. > :11:25.But he didn't get a particularly good start and he has run 9. 79. We

:11:25. > :11:32.were talking about what great form he is in. It is a shame it is a cool

:11:32. > :11:36.evening a better start, warmer temperature he would have run 9.65.

:11:36. > :11:39.No, I was making the point he doesn't believe he starts well. He

:11:39. > :11:47.didn't have a great start. He says I have got to work on that start and

:11:47. > :11:51.then I become a complete 100 metre runner that means 9.6 and below. He

:11:51. > :11:59.gets off the block quickly and outside him, Ashmeade is doing well.

:11:59. > :12:03.And Gay moves away from 60. It is good to see Powell under 10 seconds

:12:03. > :12:12.again. But Gay dominated that. It went with the form book. He promised

:12:12. > :12:18.it at the US Championships and here he has delivered it. Asafa here, a

:12:18. > :12:23.season's best. Content? Well, I'm happy. The time is coming down

:12:23. > :12:28.slowly, but surely. That is my second race for the season. You must

:12:28. > :12:33.be frustrated with the injury and not being able to be ready for the

:12:33. > :12:39.Jamaican trials? Yes I'm a bit disappointed, because I really

:12:39. > :12:46.wanted to make the team. But that is how it goes. I know how good I can

:12:46. > :12:52.be. It takes time to get there. focus now to show people what you

:12:52. > :12:56.would have done if you had been there? Yes, I just need races, I'm

:12:56. > :13:01.rusty. I haven't run since the Olympic final last year. So I'm very

:13:01. > :13:08.rusty. One thing you always have is style and if the cameraman can come

:13:08. > :13:16.down. We have some bling. Bling spikes are they real? Real diamonds!

:13:16. > :13:22.Blinging! Here is the man who won, Tyson. Thank you Asafa. Nice job,

:13:22. > :13:26.tieson, not the best of starts though. It wasn't bad, but I wanted

:13:26. > :13:29.to finish strong and stay healthy. The big American trials, very tough

:13:29. > :13:34.to make sure you qualify, how difficult is it to come back into

:13:34. > :13:43.Europe and get back into the rhythm? Slightly difficult, just from the

:13:43. > :13:47.trip. But I had five days rest and I was God -- good to go. Any plans of

:13:47. > :13:51.running against bolt before Moscow. I don't know his schedule. I'm

:13:51. > :13:56.looking forward to Monaco. In terms of your confidence going into

:13:56. > :14:01.Moscow. I feel good, I think I have a chance against anyone.

:14:01. > :14:11.everything fine and all the troubles you have had? Yes.Snies job, well

:14:11. > :14:12.

:14:12. > :14:19.done. -- nice job, well done. That was a great 100 metres. And Asafa

:14:19. > :14:28.was in great form. Yes. That was an incredible time from him. And Kim

:14:28. > :14:36.Collins, Mr consistent, sub -10 seconds at his age, 9.7 -- 9.97 is

:14:36. > :14:39.some running. And the fact that Asafa Powell can go for it in those

:14:39. > :14:43.World Championship is without thinking he has to protect his body.

:14:43. > :14:49.Yes, he does not want to aggravate his groin, but there does not seem

:14:49. > :14:57.to be any signs of any problems. He seems confident and ready. We had

:14:57. > :15:01.anticipated seeing Dai Greene in this but he has a blood test and he

:15:01. > :15:08.has got a virus. That explains everything. He looked out of sorts

:15:08. > :15:13.in Gateshead and lacklustre in Birmingham. He was talks are

:15:13. > :15:17.confident game. He never wants to make excuses, but clearly, there was

:15:17. > :15:23.something underlying, and I am glad he has got that sorted. He had the

:15:23. > :15:26.injury last year, he lost time, he had high hopes for this season, and

:15:26. > :15:32.again, the double hernia issue, things not going his way at the

:15:32. > :15:38.moment. But he is in good hands, and he has got a strong mind. Once he

:15:38. > :15:48.gets himself sorted, he will be running back to the Dai we're used

:15:48. > :15:49.

:15:49. > :15:59.to seeing. Michael Tinsley, the world reader from America. -- world

:15:59. > :16:05.leader. We have got some very good athletes. He will struggle as he

:16:05. > :16:13.returns to his best form. Felix Sanchez, the Olympic champion, goes

:16:14. > :16:17.in lane two, he was fourth in Birmingham last week for 9.68. He

:16:17. > :16:24.had the slowest season's best in the field. He has not been on form this

:16:24. > :16:31.year. He was world champion back in 2001, and yet took the Olympic title

:16:31. > :16:38.last year. Mamadou Kasse Hann of Senegal goes in lane three. And

:16:38. > :16:43.there is Michael Tinsley. Disappointing last week in

:16:43. > :16:50.Birmingham, just 48.9. He has won a lot quicker than that. Bershawn

:16:50. > :16:54.Jackson a lane five, he won here in 2006 and 2010, he is the world

:16:54. > :17:03.number four this year, so this is a good draw for him. And this is

:17:03. > :17:09.Javier Corson. He won in Birmingham easily last Sunday. He only took the

:17:10. > :17:14.bronze in London last year. Justin Gaymon in lane seven, he has never

:17:14. > :17:24.won a major championship in the USA even though he is a 48.4 man. And we

:17:24. > :17:32.

:17:32. > :17:39.have the Trinidadian, Jehue Gordon, who ran at the Alexandra Stadium

:17:39. > :17:44.last Sunday. Felix Jackson looking at a return to form will stop I

:17:44. > :17:54.wonder if that is the longest gap between global cycles, 2001 and

:17:54. > :18:11.

:18:11. > :18:18.imperious in Birmingham last week. And Bershawn Jackson in the blue,

:18:18. > :18:28.centre of picture, went off quickest, although Javier Corson is

:18:28. > :18:33.

:18:33. > :18:38.offering running, he's absolutely flying. Culson leading by some

:18:38. > :18:43.margin, by two of the metres, and he looks fabulous. Mr consistent, they

:18:44. > :18:52.call them. He deserves to make the title. Looks like he's going to grab

:18:52. > :18:57.another win here tonight. Good running from Sanchez in lane two.

:18:57. > :19:04.Culson, by three metres, Felix Sanchez take second place, and that

:19:04. > :19:08.is a big improvement in form, there was no doubt about that, the Olympic

:19:08. > :19:14.champion is coming back and he is timing it well, with five weeks to

:19:14. > :19:24.go until Moscow and the world Championships. Culson is quite

:19:24. > :19:32.supreme again, with a comfortable win in QuickTime. -- in a quick

:19:32. > :19:36.time. Yes, this fellow, I spoke to him this morning, and he said all he

:19:36. > :19:42.needs our races, he is a man who took two Olympic titles eight years

:19:42. > :19:46.apart, he is a little bit special. Culson reigned supreme last year,

:19:46. > :19:53.but then he faltered in the Olympic Games. He said he was very

:19:53. > :19:56.disappointed with that. The first 200 metres from him was great. I was

:19:56. > :20:01.disappointed that Michael Tinsley did not get into this race in the

:20:01. > :20:08.first 200 metres, and Bershawn Jackson was going well, but he

:20:08. > :20:14.stumbles off that hurdle, Sanchez come through, and outside Sanchez 's

:20:14. > :20:20.Mamadou Kasse Hann of Senegal. It went pretty well to the form book. I

:20:20. > :20:26.was surprised by Felix Sanchez. I did not expect him to go that well.

:20:26. > :20:33.I have got a new world record holder next to me for the age of 35. Sorry,

:20:33. > :20:37.that is not there. Kim Collins, how do you do it? It is a lot of

:20:37. > :20:43.practice in putting the 100 metres together as opposed to doing extra

:20:43. > :20:48.distance. That is what I have been working on. My coach is going to be

:20:48. > :20:53.happy that I have gone faster. you get a little bit older, you have

:20:53. > :20:59.to train smarter. Definitely. Those days of training until you are

:20:59. > :21:07.regurgitating, you wet yourself, whatever, those days are over. You

:21:07. > :21:11.have to train efficiently every time, to perform that task. I think

:21:11. > :21:17.that she can make a comeback any time. You will never see me in lycra

:21:17. > :21:22.ever again. Just, how do you motivate, how do you keep the mind

:21:22. > :21:26.fresh? That, for me, was the most difficult thing. You cannot teach an

:21:26. > :21:31.old dog new tricks, but I always try to change the training. I make up

:21:31. > :21:36.businesses and just try to go outside the box, good different

:21:37. > :21:42.numbers of repetitions that most sprinters do not do, you have to be

:21:42. > :21:47.creative with the training so that the body does not get it too

:21:47. > :21:54.monotonous, and wants to give up. You are not going to run the world

:21:54. > :21:58.Championships. My generation might see this and wise up and put their

:21:58. > :22:03.differences aside. I should not always have to be the bigger man. I

:22:03. > :22:13.am not in the position to make the decision. Be the bigger man, and do

:22:13. > :22:26.

:22:26. > :22:32.the right thing. Pichardo, with his opener. He is chasing 17.42 by Teddy

:22:32. > :22:42.Tamgho, the Frenchman, who opened with 16.92, then banging one out at

:22:42. > :22:43.

:22:43. > :22:51.17.40. What can Pichardo do? That is a nice rhythm, and a fabulous hang

:22:51. > :22:59.at the final stage. Dropping into the sand. He gets the white flag.

:22:59. > :23:05.That is going to be very close, I think, to Teddy Tamgho's 17.40. The

:23:05. > :23:14.wind readings are varying considerably. That was just about

:23:14. > :23:24.zero, still air, plus 0.1. And it is 17.43 from Pichardo. He takes the

:23:24. > :23:24.

:23:24. > :23:28.lead. We had been expecting more from him after Birmingham. Yes, and

:23:28. > :23:38.seeing Teddy Tamgho coming back from injury, he is looking quick on the

:23:38. > :23:38.

:23:38. > :23:41.runway. We thought we would get some big distances denied. -- tonight.

:23:41. > :23:46.And the Cubans have got a production line of jumpers, but he has

:23:46. > :23:54.performed well on the circuit at the age of 19. Yes, he is new, and he

:23:54. > :24:01.has got so much potential, already jumping well in the competition.

:24:01. > :24:06.When you think of the fireworks last year in the men's 110 meter hurdles.

:24:06. > :24:16.No athlete yet under 13 seconds. Which is difficult to believe. Jason

:24:16. > :24:17.

:24:17. > :24:24.Richardson, again, in 2011 at Daegu he was in great form, but he does

:24:24. > :24:29.not seem to have the fire. As they look towards Moscow, someone is

:24:29. > :24:36.bound to slip under that 13 second barrier. It is good to see David

:24:36. > :24:40.Oliver back in good shape. He made the team for Moscow. Lots of females

:24:40. > :24:46.delighted that he is back on the starting line. I am happy, for sure!

:24:46. > :24:50.A brilliant competitor. He has not quite found his form in the last

:24:50. > :24:54.couple of years, but if there is someone who can do it, he can, he

:24:54. > :24:58.seems to just crashed through the barriers, if you can tidy up his

:24:58. > :25:06.technique little bit, but it does bode well, this race, to have a

:25:06. > :25:11.clean race. And it does throw the whole event wide open. You would not

:25:11. > :25:18.like to pick a winner for Moscow. You could not call it. There will

:25:18. > :25:28.always be an American end there, contending for those medals. -- in

:25:28. > :25:35.

:25:36. > :25:43.title. Using pretty good form. For Ryan Wilson to win the US title,

:25:43. > :25:49.with 13.08, just six hundredths of a second off his best time. How will

:25:49. > :25:59.David Oliver ago, the rugged, Paul, hard-working athlete? There is no

:25:59. > :26:04.finesse about this man, it is just sheer power. -- rugged, tall. And

:26:04. > :26:14.here is the reigning world champion, Jason Richardson. He got the silver

:26:14. > :26:14.

:26:14. > :26:18.medal behind Merritt in the Olympic Games last year. Dwight Thomas is

:26:18. > :26:25.the fastest sprinter on the flat, with ten seconds flat credit to him,

:26:25. > :26:32.and now, we have Artur Noga of Poland. He is now 25, he was fifth

:26:32. > :26:42.at the Olympics in 2008, and European bronze medallist last year.

:26:42. > :27:18.

:27:18. > :27:25.leading this one, the American champion is down, what a good one by

:27:25. > :27:32.Richardson in second place, 13.04. And that is a good run by David

:27:32. > :27:38.Oliver. For him, that is a comeback, in many ways. He was second in the

:27:38. > :27:43.American Championships. He goes to the world Championships. It looks as

:27:43. > :27:48.though David Payne had a bit of a problem. But the big, rugged fellow

:27:48. > :27:58.took that one, and took it well. Jason Richardson was going quite

:27:58. > :28:01.

:28:01. > :28:07.well, too. 13.03, that is the world lead time this season. Jason

:28:07. > :28:11.Richardson's time of 13.20, that is the season 's best of the season 's

:28:11. > :28:19.best other world champion, and Ryan Wilson, limiting champion, in third

:28:19. > :28:24.place. That is a shame for David Payne. Let's take a look at this

:28:24. > :28:29.again. Oliver gets a good start. That is his best run for a couple of

:28:29. > :28:35.years. Richardson, third from left, is the world champion. To the right

:28:35. > :28:39.is Wilson, the American champion, and David Oliver beat them both

:28:39. > :28:45.comfortably. It is a cliche, but he is a delightful fellow. He's a

:28:45. > :28:49.gentle giant, former American football. I had a quick chat with

:28:49. > :28:55.him in the hotel, he always has a smile for you, he always remembers

:28:55. > :29:02.your name, always very lack -- always very relaxed. And that is a

:29:02. > :29:06.huge improvement for him. He is 12.89 man at his best, back in 2010.

:29:06. > :29:10.He has had a few problems winning major championships. He has not

:29:10. > :29:14.always had the pedigree. Look how powerful he is coming off the

:29:15. > :29:20.hurdle. He hit one hurdle quite heavily, and a couple of breaths

:29:20. > :29:24.down that last ten metres, he will be satisfied with that. There was no

:29:24. > :29:32.clear favourite for that race. Looking at it, you can see that

:29:32. > :29:36.Wilson clobbers one as well. And that is David Payne, he falls very

:29:36. > :29:41.badly. I wondered where that happened. I did not see it. He has

:29:41. > :29:47.gone down, and it looks like he has hurt his hamstring. And that is a

:29:47. > :29:57.great shame for David Payne. When you overbalance at the end of a

:29:57. > :30:16.

:30:16. > :30:26.what a strange competition it was. This is the winner, Filippidis of

:30:26. > :30:31.

:30:31. > :30:35.Greece. That against Holzdeppe and the others. Conditions are testing

:30:35. > :30:41.here for the vaulter on that, I don't want to call it the open end

:30:41. > :30:51.of the stadium, but there is a bit more of the brunt of the wind there.

:30:51. > :31:04.

:31:04. > :31:09.There is the confirmation of the something like your best form?

:31:09. > :31:13.I feel good to be out here running healthy, Lausanne is always a great

:31:13. > :31:18.atmosphere and it is a stepping stone to the World Championships.

:31:18. > :31:21.How frustrating have the last few years been, I remember Paris three

:31:21. > :31:26.or four years ago, we were talking about you breaking the world record.

:31:26. > :31:30.It has been a tough time? Yes when you're injured and things, it's

:31:30. > :31:35.tough not performing to your best. I knew why and I just was trying to

:31:35. > :31:42.work on getting back healthy and it was cool seeing other guys having

:31:42. > :31:46.success. It makes you hungry. event is wide-open in Moscow, the

:31:46. > :31:55.gold medal this for the taking? Anybody that makes to it the final

:31:55. > :32:00.can make the gold. You could have a surprise winner. But I'm trying to

:32:00. > :32:04.work on my ten hurdles and I can only control that. Great job. You

:32:04. > :32:08.looked really good. Good to have you back. Nice job from David, Denise

:32:08. > :32:15.and he is one of the characters on the circuit and it is good to have

:32:15. > :32:21.him I think back. He is immensely articulate and a crowd-pleaser, in

:32:21. > :32:25.fine form. His hurdling looked much better than late. And specially in

:32:25. > :32:29.the latter half of the race. A big gap between him and Jason

:32:29. > :32:36.Richardson? Yes, I mean it was hard to pick a lot of fault with Jason,

:32:36. > :32:46.but for me perhaps his trail leg was a bit scrappy. But not got the flat

:32:46. > :32:51.

:32:51. > :32:56.speed he has had. Next it is the men's 200 metres. James Ellington is

:32:56. > :33:06.there, fresh from a personal best. He is having a good season. He would

:33:06. > :33:12.like to see how he uses his speed to run this race. A you name here,

:33:12. > :33:22.Young. We are getting used to these youngsters coming through. He has to

:33:22. > :33:36.

:33:36. > :33:40.show what form he has got. There is in Europe, evening competitions, new

:33:40. > :33:50.names trying to establish themselves. The men's 200 metre,

:33:50. > :33:53.

:33:53. > :34:03.James Ellington for Britain in lane 8. Jeremy Dodson completes the line

:34:03. > :34:39.

:34:40. > :34:49.Ellington is in lane 8. A good first 50 from Young and Jason Young has

:34:49. > :34:56.run the best bend. Inn Dewar has run a fabulous bend. A late charge from

:34:56. > :35:02.Martina. Martina will take it and I don't think Jason Young was aware he

:35:02. > :35:08.was there. He was glancing to his left, glanced at the clock, but

:35:08. > :35:16.Martina won that comfortably. There was a pleaer the and a half maybe

:35:16. > :35:21.two metres. -- a metre and a half, maybe two metres. But Martina, the

:35:21. > :35:31.Dutchman, the European champion, double gold last year, because he

:35:31. > :35:37.took gold in the 4 by 100 in sell sellest -- Helsinki. The clock says

:35:37. > :35:42.20.01. But he was going away. A really strong second half. He was

:35:42. > :35:48.nowhere near the front of the bend. We will see in a moment. The time is

:35:48. > :35:57.taking a long time to come up. But he had a good 100 earlier on. That

:35:57. > :36:02.was a great warm up. He did 10.02. It was a legal run for Martina. On

:36:02. > :36:05.the basis of that, on the outside, Ellington got a good start and he

:36:05. > :36:11.had to be chased down. I was looking at the line to see if there was a

:36:11. > :36:21.problem with Young coming around that bend. Inn Dewar going strongly

:36:21. > :36:30.at this stage. -- inn Dewar going strong at this stage. Young starts

:36:30. > :36:37.to tie up and out in lane 2 is Ndure. I was looking, because there

:36:37. > :36:42.was a delay to see whether there was anybody on the line and there maybe

:36:43. > :36:48.a disqualification. I don't think there was. He is a good athlete,

:36:48. > :36:53.Martina. He is a good, solid operator and would have been nice to

:36:53. > :36:59.have seen any more against Usain Bolt in Oslo, but he got

:36:59. > :37:05.disqualified, so we never saw that. Jason Young in lane 4, he was

:37:05. > :37:09.leading and looked comfortable about 40 metres out and Martina came

:37:09. > :37:15.through. I didn't spot it in the live race, but he had a big glance

:37:15. > :37:19.across, as if to say, what? He lost his form in the last 25 metres and

:37:19. > :37:22.he was well beaten. They still haven't brought the result up. I'm

:37:22. > :37:29.wondering if there is a problem, and whether one of the officials spotted

:37:29. > :37:36.something on the bend. I don't think it was Martina himself. But he is

:37:36. > :37:42.still smiling. He hasn't been told anything yet. Thorkildsen in the

:37:42. > :37:47.fourth round of the javelin. He needs to pull something out. He is

:37:47. > :37:53.not getting the technique right. Although that looks as though it is

:37:53. > :38:00.a good throw and he goes into the lead. Look at this, he gets ahead of

:38:00. > :38:10.it. He is such a good athlete. Well can bed -- well conditioned. But not

:38:10. > :38:11.

:38:11. > :38:16.as honed as he was. And he is the only jav lip thrower to hold the --

:38:16. > :38:23.javelin thrower to hold the world, Olympic and European titles at the

:38:23. > :38:27.same time. But he has got the lead. The wind is still blowing here,

:38:27. > :38:34.rather a blustering, rather than blowing hard as it was earlier on.

:38:34. > :38:41.It is blowing towards this camera, from that far end of the season --

:38:41. > :38:51.stadium. The men's 800 metres next. It is a strong field. Eight men and

:38:51. > :38:59.eight nationalities. Quite a priority these days. Only one

:38:59. > :39:07.Kenyan, Kipkoech, and he is the pace-maker. Andrew Osagie, Britain

:39:07. > :39:14.'s Olympic finalist goes here. And Nigel Amos, this is his first 8

:39:14. > :39:20.hundred of the year. There is Andrew Osagie, eighth in the Olympics last

:39:20. > :39:27.year. But he has been running well competitively. I suspect he is

:39:27. > :39:35.looking for a quick time here tonight. Three Olympic finalists in

:39:35. > :39:45.the line up. Osagie one of the more experienced runners there. Brandon

:39:45. > :39:51.

:39:51. > :39:55.Johnson, the 28-year-old America. He goes in 2. Rodriguez, a semi

:39:55. > :39:59.finalist in the last World Championships. Autumn his races so

:39:59. > :40:09.far this -- all his races so far this year have been in South

:40:09. > :40:14.America. Looking up for it, suspect he? Amos, last year he lifted the

:40:14. > :40:19.world junior title and the Olympic silver medal, all at the age of 18.

:40:19. > :40:29.All this races this year have been in Africa and all over 4 hundred.

:40:29. > :40:33.

:40:33. > :40:43.The find of year Pierre Ambroise Bosse. He is down to 1. 49.9. Oman

:40:43. > :40:46.

:40:46. > :40:52.has had a series of wins. In seventh av Lewandowski, the European

:40:52. > :41:00.champion in 2010. He recently ran a 1,500 personal best in Gateshead. He

:41:00. > :41:07.is in good shape is the pole. And there is the pace maker, Nicholas

:41:07. > :41:15.Kipkoech. I wonder who without David Rudisha present, who in this field

:41:15. > :41:25.can run well off a 49.5, if you're up with a pace maker. Maybe Amos in

:41:25. > :41:29.

:41:29. > :41:38.fourth. So away they go. This is a high Cal ber field. -- calibre

:41:38. > :41:43.field. Osagie Osagie goes off quickly. Kipkoech axle late --

:41:43. > :41:49.accelerates, but that was a slumtering first few hundred. Amos

:41:49. > :41:54.is getting clipped, because he is going so slowly. The two yellow

:41:54. > :42:00.vests sandwich the six blue vests with 300 metres run and Kipkoech

:42:00. > :42:06.leading and the rest of the field a few metres back. Bosse is in second

:42:06. > :42:14.and then Amman and Amos and then Johnson. Osagie is on the inside

:42:14. > :42:21.with just 400 to go. 49. 9.59 and Bosse is the tall Frenchman in

:42:21. > :42:27.second. Amos also looking good there. Now it is a good steady

:42:27. > :42:32.tempo. I think they did well to stay back from the pace-maker. Bosse is a

:42:32. > :42:38.big powerful guy. Not particularly a pretty runner, a lot of elbow and

:42:38. > :42:46.shoulders. But Amman is pel poised in -- well poised in second. 200 to

:42:46. > :42:52.run and Bosse is running well. Lewandowski is coming through. Bosse

:42:52. > :42:59.is leading and Amman has had to work for this one. Bosse trying to hang

:42:59. > :43:05.on. Amman kicks on. Lewandowski is coming through strongly. It is a

:43:05. > :43:14.good run by the Poll, but Amman storms through. That is not the

:43:14. > :43:20.first time in the world this year. But very close indeed to Dwain

:43:21. > :43:26.Solomon's race when he won the American Championship. And Aman as

:43:26. > :43:30.won it again. He had the perfect pace-maker for 7 hundred makers and

:43:30. > :43:39.all credit to Bosse for taking the race to the opposition, even with

:43:39. > :43:49.the wind here. 1. 1.43.33. A season's best for Aman. His season

:43:49. > :43:51.

:43:51. > :44:01.goes from peak to peak, to peak. Bosse in second. Amos 1.44.31 in his

:44:01. > :44:08.

:44:08. > :44:14.first 800 of the season. And here is Muhammad Ahmad, who has been doing

:44:14. > :44:24.very nicely lately, and Marcin Lewandowski with a very good run to

:44:24. > :44:24.

:44:24. > :44:29.overtake Amos in third place. It's proving to be very difficult to

:44:29. > :44:34.beat. He was sixth in the Olympic final. A little bit better this

:44:34. > :44:38.year. Isn't it strange the difference half a season makes, and

:44:38. > :44:42.what sort of work they have done in the winter, and how they come off

:44:42. > :44:45.the back of an Olympic Games into the world championship season, and

:44:45. > :44:55.the Diamond League season but particularly the world championship

:44:55. > :44:55.

:44:55. > :45:01.season. Aman has one just one -- has lost just one race, to the world

:45:01. > :45:05.champion, who picked up a slight knee injury when he ran in very cold

:45:05. > :45:14.conditions, and he is trying to get back from that injury as we speak at

:45:14. > :45:24.his base in Germany. Aman is the real deal, and he is just 19 years

:45:24. > :45:37.

:45:37. > :45:44.old. Confirmation of the times. And Aman, pretty much on catchable. Kim

:45:44. > :45:54.Amb In the javelin, 79.60 his best so far. That look good, that looked

:45:54. > :45:56.

:45:56. > :46:02.very good. That has gone into the lead. 81.54 has been exceeded, that

:46:02. > :46:10.is for sure. He hammered into the plant, then look good, you can see

:46:10. > :46:17.his body language, and that javelin flying really well. That is a very

:46:17. > :46:27.good throw-in did. And I reckon that is roundabout 83, 84. 82.65. That is

:46:27. > :46:31.

:46:31. > :46:41.the lead. Pichardo, and the triple jump. 17.43, his best thus far. This

:46:41. > :46:43.

:46:43. > :46:53.is the final jump. Now, what can you do? 17.43, his best jump in the

:46:53. > :46:55.

:46:55. > :47:05.third round, his best this season is 17.69. Oh, yes! That is a big jump.

:47:05. > :47:10.

:47:10. > :47:19.That is a white flag, I think. That is a big jump. 17.43. Let's see.

:47:19. > :47:26.That is certainly the read. I have not seen a red flag. -- the lead. It

:47:26. > :47:35.has not marked the plasticine. Look at the judge looking, and it is

:47:35. > :47:40.good. And he has gone past the previous, 17.58. What about that?

:47:41. > :47:45.Just one event left on the track, it is the sprint relay, as we see

:47:45. > :47:55.confirmation of that men's 200 metres. Just waiting for that result

:47:55. > :47:56.

:47:56. > :48:06.to come up. Churandy Martina It is confirmed as the winner, the

:48:06. > :48:08.

:48:08. > :48:13.Dutchman. James Ellington in some good form, with 20.46. That really

:48:13. > :48:18.is going to go on longer than we are on air, so we're just going to

:48:18. > :48:28.reflect on what we have seen this evening. That jump in the triple

:48:28. > :48:31.

:48:32. > :48:36.jump. That was as clear as day, as a file. -- foul. I have been impressed

:48:36. > :48:41.with the young Cuban. He has been jumping remarkably well. The runners

:48:41. > :48:48.have been having problems with the wind, and it is pretty cold out

:48:48. > :48:55.there. In terms of the men's 800 metres, disappointing for Andrew

:48:55. > :48:58.Osagie. Yes, he seemed to touch his hamstring as he crossed the line. I

:48:58. > :49:03.don't know whether he has picked up a little niggle, which would be

:49:03. > :49:13.disappointing with trial is just around the corner, looking for that

:49:13. > :49:14.

:49:14. > :49:20.qualification time going to Moscow. I hope he remains injury free.

:49:20. > :49:30.his absence, if that is the case, Aman looks like a good bet. Yes,

:49:30. > :49:35.those two, he is consistent, 1.43, every time he steps on the track,

:49:35. > :49:39.and another convincing run from him will stop start billing was the

:49:39. > :49:49.men's 100 metres for Tyson Gay. We can have a look back at base bash

:49:49. > :49:50.

:49:50. > :49:55.bash at that place now. Tyson Gay getting the start, and here goes

:49:55. > :50:05.Tyson Gay, he is away from this field, away from Asafa Powell

:50:05. > :50:12.Powell. 9.78, plus two metres, a second, that is legal. 9.79, for

:50:12. > :50:16.Tyson Gay. Not quite as good as his word lead of 9.75. It is the

:50:16. > :50:22.challenge of coming back from those intense American trials, which he

:50:22. > :50:27.did well. He has made the transition into Europe. He has trained well, he

:50:27. > :50:32.has competed remarkably well. It was the highlight of the night's

:50:32. > :50:36.proceedings. A convincing victory. I think it is fair to say that we know

:50:36. > :50:46.that he is working on it, coming out of the blocks, but you cannot argue

:50:46. > :50:51.

:50:51. > :50:56.with 9.79. And a good run from Christine Ohoruogu. She could not

:50:56. > :51:00.quite put her finger on why she ran so badly. I think it is back to the

:51:00. > :51:06.drawing board, not to lose faith, I think she is in good form, but out

:51:06. > :51:11.of sorts, the night. Birmingham was good, I wonder if it was a reaction

:51:12. > :51:17.to that. It was not that long ago. It is difficult for athletes to keep

:51:17. > :51:21.that momentum going. Christine is an athlete that thrives on hard work

:51:21. > :51:25.and putting in some graft, and I know that she prepares well for

:51:25. > :51:29.championships. Moscow is the highlight of the year, and that is

:51:30. > :51:34.where she wants to do well, collecting medals, as she normally

:51:34. > :51:38.does. She wants to compete on the circuit and do those Diamond League

:51:38. > :51:43.races, but we need better performances from her, when she puts

:51:43. > :51:49.in an appearance. It was a better performance from Tiffany Porter in

:51:49. > :51:55.the 100 metres hurdles. It was a season 's best, just starting to get

:51:55. > :52:01.into form. I think so. She is in a really good plays. She has got the

:52:01. > :52:05.new coach. She is working on a few things. I would expect the speed and

:52:05. > :52:09.injuries in the hurdling to improve, and also, the tech team. It is the

:52:09. > :52:13.right time to be making those changes and looking forward. She has

:52:13. > :52:19.had an indifferently -- and indifferent year last year. This is

:52:19. > :52:26.when she has to step up and make her mark. Sally Pearson, watching her

:52:26. > :52:32.when in London, she has had a nasty hamstring injury, she was down in

:52:32. > :52:36.fifth base, then in seventh place. How confident are you that she can

:52:36. > :52:42.get back to those sorts of times that we saw in London, and perhaps

:52:42. > :52:47.challenge the Americans who ran so quickly in the trials? It is hard to

:52:47. > :52:51.woo her out, she is a great champion, but hurdling is about

:52:51. > :52:58.finding form, finding rhythm. She has not raced. She had not raced 11

:52:58. > :53:06.months before Ostrava. We are one month away from the main

:53:06. > :53:16.championships. It is going to be difficult. One of the events we were

:53:16. > :53:19.

:53:19. > :53:24.set up for tonight was the men's high jump. Bondarenko jumped 2.41,

:53:24. > :53:27.going for the world record. He is consistent this year. The men's high

:53:27. > :53:37.jump world record is something that I thought I would never see being

:53:37. > :53:39.

:53:39. > :53:49.broken. But I think that this guy could challenge it in a big way.

:53:49. > :53:54.

:53:54. > :53:58.think the battle is on between him and Barshin of Qatar. Robbie

:53:58. > :54:02.Grabarz, we hope for more from him. Maybe he has taken something away

:54:02. > :54:06.from watching the high jump will stop you must not lose heart. He

:54:06. > :54:11.needs to get back into his 2.31 shape and be a little bit more

:54:11. > :54:21.consistent. The men's 400 metres, we saw Javier Colson following up his

:54:21. > :54:21.

:54:21. > :54:27.win in Birmingham with a win here. Dai Greene, Struggling with a virus.

:54:27. > :54:37.Yes, he is a bit out of sorts. It is not what we're used to seeing from

:54:37. > :54:41.him. He has not had a proper run at this. He wintered well. But he has

:54:41. > :54:46.not shown much outdoors. As the reigning world champion, he has a

:54:46. > :54:52.lot to do, before Moscow. Javier Colson, we expected him to win last

:54:52. > :54:58.year, but he is looking in good form running up to Moscow. I think there

:54:58. > :55:02.is pressure, but it is a case of, he knows that he can run quickly, and

:55:02. > :55:07.he has proved that with a convincing victory in the men's hurdles, and

:55:07. > :55:16.with that kind of confidence, he knows that in a better judged race,

:55:16. > :55:24.he is the man. Sharon Croft in third place tonight. Yes, consistency,

:55:24. > :55:29.consistency. She was great in the women's long jump. Then, it bodes

:55:29. > :55:35.well for her. And a quick word on Kim Collins and 37 years of age,

:55:35. > :55:40.nine point 97. Kim Collins, he defies what makes an athlete

:55:40. > :55:44.continued. He seems to love what he is doing, training smartly and

:55:44. > :55:50.producing fast times. We are coming to the end of the coverage from

:55:50. > :55:56.Lausanne. Just dying to tell you when the next athletics will be on

:55:56. > :56:01.the BBC. It is from Paris on Saturday. We have got Greg

:56:01. > :56:07.Rutherford, the Olympic champion, in the long jump, and Perri shakes

:56:08. > :56:10.Drayton in the 400 metres hurdles. And the following weekend, we are in

:56:10. > :56:15.Birmingham for the trials for Moscow, those all-important trials

:56:15. > :56:23.for British athletes vying for places on the plane for the world
