:00:55. > :00:59.and CJ are here at the Eternal City. It is the perfect place to start the
:00:59. > :01:05.BBC's coverage of the Diamond League athletics. It really is gorgeous
:01:05. > :01:12.here, and the perfect atmosphere for the athletics. I am looking forward
:01:12. > :01:18.to some great athletics. The main man, Usain Bolt, goes in the 100
:01:18. > :01:22.metres at half past eight. Plenty more to come, and we will tell you
:01:22. > :01:28.more shortly, but we are going right out to the track for the men's 400
:01:28. > :01:36.metres hurdles. Dai Greene, the reigning world champion, is right
:01:36. > :01:41.out there on the track. But one who had a poor start with a hernia
:01:41. > :01:46.problem, so he is just recovering from that. Perhaps this race is just
:01:46. > :01:50.a little too soon for him. He will want to get as close to the major
:01:50. > :01:55.players as he possibly can. What do you make of him starting his
:01:55. > :02:01.season here with such a big race? Do not think he might have been better
:02:01. > :02:08.to start a smaller race? That is an easy way to do it, but he will have
:02:08. > :02:13.to face these guys at some occasion. But you can really judge yourself
:02:13. > :02:23.tonight when conditions are perfect. Here is Steve Cram and Stewart story
:02:23. > :02:54.
:02:54. > :03:04.times, perhaps. Our first event of back straight. The world champion
:03:04. > :03:13.
:03:13. > :03:23.has a little work to do at the back into it. Culson is just
:03:23. > :03:40.
:03:40. > :03:47.really tough first 200 metres there. I think Johnny Dutch nude he had to
:03:48. > :03:57.get out there. Culson looked like he might run him down, but Dutch was
:03:58. > :04:01.
:04:02. > :04:10.strong. Dutch takes the win. He ran the first 200 very quickly indeed,
:04:10. > :04:20.and at this stage was being caught by Culson on the inside. He does all
:04:20. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:34.right, and Hanne comes through to little bit too quick, and had to
:04:34. > :04:38.work very hard in the final 100 metres down the straight. He came
:04:38. > :04:42.off the hurdle well and was reaching for the line, wishing the line to
:04:42. > :04:52.come forward, and that little lunge forward at the end just gets it as
:04:52. > :05:08.
:05:08. > :05:15.the quality. Dai Greene was a little heavy over that hurdle, but he ran
:05:15. > :05:25.it sensibly. A little heavy over the first 200. Looking good in his first
:05:25. > :05:35.
:05:35. > :05:39.the season. Yes, straight in at the deep end. It was about how I
:05:39. > :05:44.thought, to be honest. A great disappointment last summer in
:05:44. > :05:54.London. You got back into training, and then the double hernia. "
:05:54. > :05:59.frustrating. Yes, but I have had a fantastic winter. I took a lot of
:05:59. > :06:07.positives from the way I've pushed through last year. The hernia pop
:06:07. > :06:14.wasn't anything too serious. It took a lot out of me to get the intensity
:06:14. > :06:21.up there. It shows that when you are racing against the top guys, you
:06:21. > :06:24.have got to be on points. And in terms of your build-up towards
:06:24. > :06:32.Moscow, are you happy? You have lost some training because of that
:06:32. > :06:40.operation. I am not too concerned, because I was injury free until that
:06:40. > :06:50.point. It was just a few not being able to run, I could only do slow
:06:50. > :06:51.
:06:51. > :06:55.stuff. It was a little bit scrappy with a handful of herbal sessions,
:06:55. > :07:03.but I will take that. Plenty of time to get better. Thank you for the
:07:03. > :07:13.rest of the season. There are plenty more besides you same bolt coming up
:07:13. > :07:14.
:07:14. > :08:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:08:06. > :08:11.That man certainly is a legend. You sometimes wonder where track and
:08:11. > :08:18.field would be without him. This meeting was languishing a few years
:08:18. > :08:25.ago, but there is a big crowd here now. If you take a look at the
:08:25. > :08:33.timetable, you can plan your evening. That big game with Usain
:08:33. > :08:43.Bolt is at 8:30pm. Allyson Felix goes in the women's 200 metres at
:08:43. > :08:55.
:08:55. > :09:05.field events here at Diamond League. We don't point the cameras, so we
:09:05. > :09:14.
:09:15. > :09:19.before, 17.59, just one centimetre off your stadium record. We are
:09:19. > :09:26.definitely looking forward to that. And a word on Dai Greene's
:09:26. > :09:30.performance? Excellent. It was a very strong performance, and it
:09:30. > :09:35.shows he is in decent shape, and when he gets race fit, we will see a
:09:35. > :09:40.special performance from him. little information about the Diamond
:09:40. > :09:46.League. It is a worldwide series of 14 meetings. Athlete earn points for
:09:46. > :09:56.finishing in the top three. This is the fifth of the Diamond League
:09:56. > :10:00.
:10:00. > :10:10.series. Let's look at what happened good shape over 400 metres.
:10:10. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:28.Botswana's Amantle Montsho has a few record of two metres 40 has held for
:10:28. > :10:36.almost 20 years. Justin Gatlin has a couple of 100 metres sprints to his
:10:36. > :10:44.name, but it is Shelly Ann Fraser Price who is tearing up the track.
:10:44. > :10:54.Long jumper Greg Rutherford has two third-place finishes. Alexander
:10:54. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:15.Minkoff jumped eight metres and 39 5000 metres, coming second best to
:11:15. > :11:20.Kenya's Soi. No Jenny Meadows for the entire
:11:20. > :11:26.season, she has a stress fracture of her femur column which is a very
:11:26. > :11:33.serious injury. It is a serious weight loading bone, so she can
:11:33. > :11:38.imagine how upset she is. She got that fourth place in Gothenberg, and
:11:38. > :11:43.we had high hopes for her to return, for her own sake as well as
:11:43. > :11:48.ours. So it is a little bit of a disappointment for us, but you can
:11:48. > :11:51.imagine how she feels. You must wonder now with the Achilles problem
:11:51. > :11:58.and now this if we are perhaps looking towards the end of her
:11:58. > :12:01.career. She said if you look on the BBC website that she was in the best
:12:01. > :12:11.state she had ever Bosse a baby name, so she was looking forward to
:12:11. > :12:14.
:12:14. > :12:19.coming out and focusing. -- the best state she had ever been in. From the
:12:19. > :12:27.British point of view, Lisa Dobriskey and Hannah England are
:12:27. > :12:32.here for the 1500 metres. This is a track race. It is a little different
:12:32. > :12:41.than what happened in Westminster. There is Hannah England, a big smile
:12:41. > :12:44.as always. She knows this is a world-class field. But the
:12:44. > :12:53.conditions are absolutely perfect, and we will see a quick time today,
:12:53. > :13:03.no doubt. And I think it will come from the Swedish athletes. Kipyegon
:13:03. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:24.has been running very well indeed, running, it has been getting to the
:13:24. > :13:34.bell and then running a big last lap, so when we get to the last 400,
:13:34. > :13:35.
:13:35. > :13:41.we will see who struggles. I was talking to our colleague in the
:13:41. > :13:45.commentary box about Jenny Simpson, we have mentioned her. She is the
:13:45. > :13:55.defending world champion. In the dark strip, right in the centre of
:13:55. > :14:28.
:14:28. > :14:35.would expect. It is a big field, and go with it or not. You can't go with
:14:35. > :14:45.that! She is just not experienced. She is going to go through 300
:14:45. > :14:51.metres here at 43 seconds. This is even faster than the 800. It is a
:14:51. > :15:01.waste of time. So now we are left with a more tactical run, which will
:15:01. > :15:06.
:15:06. > :15:16.The tall, long figure. And that is The tall, long figure. And that is
:15:16. > :15:22.
:15:22. > :15:32.just ridiculous, is no way the pace is going to be a sensible pace. Ara
:15:32. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :15:45.Gabi in the middle in the yellow top. They have gone very slow
:15:45. > :15:48.through the second lap here. But this isn't the race that a lot of
:15:48. > :15:52.them would expect. They have to change the mindset. They would come
:15:52. > :15:58.here thinking it would be a quick race, it is not bad, so they have to
:15:58. > :16:05.think, what am I going to do? Am I going to sit and wait or am I going
:16:05. > :16:11.to push on? The Times are just coming up and as we said, it is
:16:11. > :16:18.nowhere near what they asked for. It is too: 12. We have a race on here
:16:18. > :16:22.if nothing else, and it is going to be a good race. The two Russians are
:16:22. > :16:29.up there. I can see Jenny Simpson moving into that leading group. So
:16:29. > :16:34.is Kibiwot. Jenny Simpson moving up on the outside. Soboleva is still
:16:35. > :16:41.leading. Since moving almost from the back and as I said, you have to
:16:41. > :16:45.make a decision. -- Simpson moving. She has used the back straight
:16:45. > :16:48.well, got herself onto the leader's shoulder and she is in a good
:16:48. > :16:54.position. It is going to be a fast last lap and this could be
:16:54. > :16:58.anybody's race. Let's see what Aregawi does. In previous races, she
:16:58. > :17:03.has gone for it, but it is Jenny Simpson who is really motoring at
:17:03. > :17:09.the front of this race. She has taken it on, Aregawi in second
:17:09. > :17:15.place, Dibaba in third place. Two of the big three. Kibiwot is following
:17:15. > :17:20.hard, but Simpson, the world champion from 2011 is leading. Here
:17:20. > :17:26.goes Aregawi, followed by Dibaba. They are attacking now. Aregawi,
:17:26. > :17:33.Dibaba and Simpson. The rest are trailing with less than 200m to go
:17:33. > :17:40.in this 1,500 metres. Aregawi, true to form. Has Dibaba got the pace to
:17:40. > :17:45.come Pasteur? This is a real test. -- asked her. Simpson has done well,
:17:45. > :17:51.she got herself into a good position but this is Aregawi and Dibaba.
:17:51. > :17:56.Aregawi comes away with another fine win. A very quick last lap. Dibaba
:17:56. > :18:05.in second place, Simpson in third. Hannah England coming through into
:18:05. > :18:08.fourth place. That was a good run and certainly not the run we
:18:08. > :18:14.expected, just outside four minutes, but it speeded up at the end,
:18:14. > :18:19.certainly. That gives us more clues. We have seen her do so well
:18:19. > :18:25.indoors, she has got great pace and used it to good effect in
:18:25. > :18:29.Gothenburg. That was a different race to the once we have seen but
:18:29. > :18:33.she still had the legs for Dibaba. Aregawi, even in this sort of race,
:18:33. > :18:37.has got what it takes and as we move ever closer to the World
:18:38. > :18:44.Championships, she looks to have the armoury, she has the ability to run
:18:44. > :18:54.fast and the ability to run a big fast last lap. 58:13, something like
:18:54. > :18:54.
:18:54. > :18:59.that. Simpson, a good return from her. And the others were a long way
:18:59. > :19:03.behind, to be honest. Aregawi is just strong, nice and balance, nice
:19:03. > :19:08.and relaxed on a big last lap and it looks like there is even more for
:19:08. > :19:11.her to call on a she needs it. Dibaba, it is going to be
:19:11. > :19:16.interested, because she has a choice to make. She is maybe thinking she
:19:17. > :19:26.cannot beat this girl over 1,500 metres. Maybe she should think about
:19:27. > :19:34.
:19:34. > :19:40.Hannah England forth in that race, pretty please with that? I am, I was
:19:40. > :19:45.pretty please. I wasn't that pleased with the position, so I am more
:19:45. > :19:52.pleased with that. And obviously a big season after the disappointment
:19:52. > :19:58.of last year. Yes, so far it is more fun. That is
:19:58. > :20:03.my fourth fastest time ever and my third fastest time, so that is good.
:20:03. > :20:07.So how has training gone to feel so confident and strong early in the
:20:07. > :20:11.year? I was in this kind of shape last year but I just didn't have the
:20:11. > :20:16.opportunity to keep running. just keeping the training going, it
:20:16. > :20:23.is all going well. Lisa Dobriskey, just come over, we will speak to you
:20:23. > :20:33.too. Lisa, how about that view? was OK, did I get the time? Colin is
:20:33. > :20:34.
:20:34. > :20:38.going to look at the time. Just outside. Yes, not bad for the first
:20:38. > :20:42.race out. It was so slow, I'm not too sure what the pacemaker was
:20:42. > :20:47.doing, but it was a good first outing and a nice thing to get the
:20:47. > :20:51.first one out of the way. Good performance from Dai Greene and from
:20:51. > :21:01.Hannah England and from Lisa, and earlier on, a good performance in
:21:01. > :21:13.
:21:13. > :21:16.earlier. Shara Proctor produced a season's best. 6-.91. The wind was
:21:16. > :21:23.changing around a little bit, it briefly put her in second place.
:21:23. > :21:29.That was responded to by Janay Deloach Soukup. She briefly took the
:21:29. > :21:33.lead with an excellent effort, just less than 7m, and the women's long
:21:33. > :21:40.jump has been excellent this year. It has been topped by Brittney
:21:40. > :21:50.Reese, who got seven point to five in Dohar. And she got it -- numeric
:21:50. > :21:54.
:21:54. > :21:57.Reese. Unbeaten in the major championships since 2009, two times
:21:57. > :22:03.world champion and Olympic champion and top of the pile in the Diamond
:22:03. > :22:10.League. Showing that when the chips were down, as they were briefly,
:22:10. > :22:12.that she can respond and respond she did in fine style.
:22:12. > :22:19.JONATHAN EDWARDS: A fraction away from Brittney Reese, you must be
:22:19. > :22:23.delighted? Yes, this season, I'm just trying to stay relaxed. It is a
:22:23. > :22:28.lot more fun this year. I do want to beat the British record and jump 7m,
:22:29. > :22:34.that is at the back of my mind but I just want to prove it at each meet,
:22:34. > :22:39.and get some points. You say it is all about fun, but some
:22:39. > :22:49.disappointment last year. Perhaps something to prove? Well, for the
:22:49. > :22:53.most part of the season, I was pretty average. I just so happens to
:22:53. > :22:58.not produce that in the Olympics, and this year I'm just trying to do
:22:58. > :23:04.better than that and come home with a medal this year and just jump far.
:23:04. > :23:14.You did it tonight, well done. you.
:23:14. > :23:15.
:23:15. > :23:19.Shara Proctor there, and the Bolt-down clock is ticking, so that
:23:19. > :23:23.is coming up soon. Hopefully, we will be wearing this. This is the
:23:23. > :23:30.poster advertising the meat in Rome. The Italians are renowned for their
:23:30. > :23:33.fashion, but that gets the thumbs down! I have been dressed by Italian
:23:33. > :23:42.designers before and I would rather have not have been dressed like
:23:42. > :23:47.that. What will Usain Bolt be doing, and our ad? A bit of massage, he
:23:47. > :23:50.will stride out, and you can imagine, nothing too taxing. He's a
:23:50. > :23:54.very laid-back character. But I can assure you, he knows his competition
:23:54. > :23:58.is pretty tough today, so he has prepared mentally for a reasonable
:23:58. > :24:04.battle, because he will need all of his strength to overhaul the talent
:24:04. > :24:14.in that field. One athlete who has looked supreme in the season so far,
:24:14. > :24:20.
:24:20. > :24:25.the champion over 400m, Montreux, then she is -- Montsho. Yes, we were
:24:25. > :24:28.always focused on Allyson Felix and Williams, but Montsho was always
:24:28. > :24:32.left out of it. This year, she is looking determined and I think she
:24:32. > :24:41.will savour this moment and produce something special. One athlete who
:24:41. > :24:46.is not here this evening but has been doing more on the circuit is
:24:46. > :24:52.Christine Ohorugu. It is good to see that she is saving herself for the
:24:52. > :24:56.championships. She did try hard in the Diamond League races and only
:24:56. > :24:59.produced the goods at the major championship races, which is not a
:24:59. > :25:08.bad place to do it, but this year she has come out with all guns
:25:08. > :25:12.blazing, going sub 51 honourees regular basis -- on a regular basis,
:25:12. > :25:22.and she will be hungry to get her world title back. Tanya Richards
:25:22. > :25:25.Ross is the champion, going head-to-head with this woman.
:25:25. > :25:32.always want to see head-to-head competition, that is always the key
:25:32. > :25:36.and when athletes are at their best, it change things -- changes things
:25:36. > :25:41.to something sensational. But you never know today, Hastings in lane
:25:41. > :25:47.five is a class act. I'm rubbing my hands together when it comes to the
:25:47. > :25:49.Diamond League, the best athletes in the world all battling, wonderful.
:25:49. > :25:53.And something which hasn't always been the case for this Diamond
:25:53. > :25:59.League season so far, the weather is good. The conditions in New York,
:25:59. > :26:03.the wind was blowing, it was freezing in New York. Yes, these
:26:03. > :26:06.athletes appreciate when it is warm and it is still. I think only the
:26:06. > :26:11.discus throwers hate those conditions, unfortunately, but on
:26:11. > :26:14.the track, if you are going all the way round, you wanted to be as calm
:26:14. > :26:19.as possible, with good support. And looking around the stadium, it is
:26:19. > :26:22.packed, so there is a buzz going all the way around. These athletes will
:26:23. > :26:26.appreciate all of the cheering, all of the shouting and encouragement to
:26:26. > :26:30.see them down the back straight and around that final bend until they
:26:30. > :26:40.hit the home straight, whether fatigue carries in their legs and,
:26:40. > :26:43.
:26:43. > :26:48.boy oh boy... I'm glad I only went in one line. Let's get down to the
:26:48. > :26:54.track for the 400m. The only question is how quick is Montsho
:26:54. > :26:58.going to run? I'm sure Hastings will give her
:26:58. > :27:08.something to run out in line five. Tyre looking relaxed, as she should
:27:08. > :27:09.
:27:09. > :27:19.be. -- Road to looking relaxed, as she should do. She has chosen Lane
:27:19. > :27:37.
:27:37. > :27:42.crowd, just waiting for it to settle. The women's 400. Away
:27:42. > :27:46.cleanly. Montsho not that hard out of the blocks, Hastings set of
:27:46. > :27:52.quicker out of the big names. You cannot miss in the pink strip.
:27:52. > :28:02.Really storming down the back straight. Now Montsho is starting to
:28:02. > :28:02.
:28:02. > :28:12.move a bit. Francena Mccorory still a long way behind. Also going well
:28:12. > :28:15.is: Is Emily act. Amantle Montsho storming around that bend. As the
:28:16. > :28:21.stag unwinds, Montsho in the lead as Hastings starts to fade. They are
:28:21. > :28:30.well clear of the rest of the field. Montsho with a bit of a battle on
:28:30. > :28:37.with Francena Mccorory. It is going to be great. That will be a world
:28:37. > :28:43.leader by 100th of a second. Francena Mccorory once more keeping
:28:43. > :28:50.Montsho honest. I'm not sure if you told me she was going to run a world
:28:50. > :28:59.leader, she would only be half a metre head in the last fewm. --
:28:59. > :29:04.ahead in the last few. Montsho worked at Francena Mccorory, it was
:29:05. > :29:08.a good scrap in the home straight. As we look at the finishing bend,
:29:08. > :29:12.her start was dreadful, she ambled out of the blocks to the first bend
:29:12. > :29:15.and had to work hard between two and three to get back to Francena
:29:16. > :29:21.Mccorory and Hastings. Hastings did as well as she could, perhaps a
:29:21. > :29:27.little too fussed over the first 200, but she had to try hard to get
:29:27. > :29:30.to Montsho -- a little too fast. At the last championships, the
:29:30. > :29:34.Olympics, she was dominant during the season and when it came to the
:29:34. > :29:39.major championships, she wasn't there again. It was all about the
:29:39. > :29:43.rounds, the whole experience of a major championship, isn't it?
:29:43. > :29:46.also about, how many times you want to run 49 seconds and then not get
:29:46. > :29:52.any quicker when the championships happen? I think she races too much.
:29:52. > :29:56.She is in good form, she is obviously going to be asked to run
:29:56. > :30:06.all of the 400s. I would like to see her take a bit of a break, if you
:30:06. > :30:12.
:30:12. > :30:22.like. She wants to be ready for the three field event going on at the
:30:22. > :30:23.
:30:23. > :30:33.same time. So far, 16.85 is the leader. Into a slight headwind of
:30:33. > :30:53.
:30:53. > :30:56.pedigrees, and he is the champion performer. That is 16.78. The wind
:30:56. > :31:04.has been moving around the back straight, it has been with them,
:31:04. > :31:14.been against them. There is hardly any wind to speak of. And here is
:31:14. > :31:19.
:31:19. > :31:23.our first sight of Phillips Idowu. 34 years of age now, he has watched
:31:23. > :31:30.Christian Taylor coming and dominate over the last couple of years. He is
:31:30. > :31:36.back from injury himself. We have waited a long time to see them.
:31:36. > :31:40.Idowu is probably the one with more question marks about his shape. It
:31:40. > :31:50.was wet and cold in France when he competed. He didn't go to New York.
:31:50. > :32:01.
:32:01. > :32:10.week, for a start, but not good by his standard. No one has gone to 17
:32:10. > :32:18.metres yet. There was good river minute. Very nice rhythm in the
:32:18. > :32:27.three phases, nice Hubble arm action. That augurs well. He hits
:32:27. > :32:37.the board well, looks rhythmic. 16.44, a season's best, but he is
:32:37. > :32:49.
:32:49. > :32:54.should really give us your comments on it. You have done the event.
:32:54. > :33:00.was better than I was expecting after last weekend. You wonder how
:33:00. > :33:04.much last year took out of him. you get to a certain age, when the
:33:04. > :33:10.excitement is gone, it is about the strength of your mind, whether you
:33:10. > :33:15.have got the grit to continue. And it was far -- hard for him last
:33:15. > :33:22.year. There were problems with coaching. It was a difficult time.
:33:22. > :33:28.Perhaps now he can just breathe. There is no pressure on him. He can
:33:28. > :33:32.just focus on Phillips Idowu and his family. He enjoys athletics. We will
:33:32. > :33:42.keep our eye on that event as it progresses. The women's high jump is
:33:42. > :34:04.
:34:04. > :34:08.clearance, it really is. 5.95, his best performance this year. He is so
:34:08. > :34:18.dominant on the runway, and the French have always had reasonable
:34:18. > :34:28.vaulters throughout history. Look at the height he gets above 5.60. That
:34:28. > :34:32.
:34:32. > :34:38.promises six metres to me, if he can against the poll and got the result
:34:38. > :34:48.he wanted. Disappointment for Steve Lewis in that competition, three
:34:48. > :34:48.
:34:48. > :36:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:36:07. > :36:11.failures. The bolts down continues. Bolt takes to the track. Not quite
:36:11. > :36:16.trash talking from Justin Gatlin, but he is talking up the fact that
:36:16. > :36:21.he can beat him. It is good that the sprinters really believe they can
:36:21. > :36:31.beat him, because that is important. There is no point in going into a
:36:31. > :36:38.competition thinking, he is the leader. Here is a race from earlier
:36:38. > :36:42.on that we can catch up from. James Ellington inlay nine. I wanted to
:36:42. > :36:52.see how the British guys went in this race. They got reasonable
:36:52. > :36:54.
:36:54. > :37:03.starts, but it was the result we expected. It was Ellington that
:37:03. > :37:10.time, 10.32. I think he would be disappointed with that little, in
:37:10. > :37:18.this condition. And particularly for Harry. He hasn't really fulfilled
:37:18. > :37:24.that potential. We hope for more from him. These young athletes will
:37:24. > :37:30.be scratching their heads. Just when they suffer from young injuries, it
:37:30. > :37:36.is tough for them. The world of sprinting at the moment is electric,
:37:36. > :37:46.and to get in there is difficult. And now it is the Women's 100m
:37:46. > :38:16.
:38:16. > :38:26.the start-up's request to get set, I think they will have a word with
:38:26. > :38:38.
:38:38. > :38:48.her. I don't think it was a false start, she just lifted late. It was
:38:48. > :39:21.
:39:21. > :39:29.Lolo Jones got away well. Here comes Crawford on the far side, but
:39:30. > :39:37.Harper-Nelson wins this, Lolo Jones second. It went pretty well with the
:39:37. > :39:45.script, actually. Harper-Nelson got into the running, and she is a very
:39:45. > :39:55.quick. She has a big trailing leg, and pulls it through well. We saw
:39:55. > :39:57.
:39:57. > :40:07.her in Manchester at the city games. She has maintained her form. She
:40:07. > :40:19.
:40:19. > :40:29.enjoys her run, so close to an Lolo Jones. Harper-Nelson has been
:40:29. > :40:36.so dominant this year, but Lolo Jones hangs onto her. But
:40:36. > :40:43.Harper-Nelson is so good at the finish. Crawford was always half a
:40:43. > :40:49.metre down, and Harper-Nelson knew she had to be on top form. Jones
:40:49. > :40:54.never gives this up. Always close. She looked as though she were
:40:54. > :41:02.starting to come back a little bit, and it is almost as though Harper
:41:02. > :41:10.Jones -- Harper-Nelson senses it. You could see the comparison between
:41:10. > :41:20.the trail legs of the two. There it is, 12.65, and a season's best for
:41:20. > :41:29.
:41:29. > :41:39.Harper-Nelson has eight points now, going well on the season.
:41:39. > :41:49.
:41:49. > :41:59.posters around here, with Usain Bolt next to him. 17.70 in doors in
:41:59. > :42:24.
:42:24. > :42:29.Gothenberg. This is his first team-mate Schembri, . I was getting
:42:29. > :42:38.exciting -- excited on his behalf, that would have taken the lead. But
:42:38. > :42:47.he was well over the board. But it was still a very good job. He is a
:42:47. > :42:57.powerhouse. He looks more in the Jonathan Edwards mode, it is a bit
:42:57. > :43:05.
:43:05. > :43:13.out. She missed the Olympics last year with surgery. She came back in
:43:13. > :43:20.New York and won it, and it is going to be a big test tonight. She clears
:43:20. > :43:30.1.88. It was a shame that she missed the whole of that year, with the
:43:30. > :43:43.
:43:43. > :43:53.operation and the infection her first two jumps. Glass which was
:43:53. > :44:04.
:44:04. > :44:14.such a favourite in 2008. Here is Chicherova. That looked good,
:44:14. > :44:24.
:44:24. > :44:32.very much on Usain Bolt, the fastest sprinter the world has ever seen.
:44:32. > :44:38.But also, the greatest Italian sprinter who has ever been seen, he
:44:38. > :44:48.died earlier this year, and here it is a tribute to him. The blue vest
:44:48. > :44:55.
:44:55. > :45:00.of Pietro Minear of Italy. Away they has run a magnificent race. Leonard
:45:00. > :45:10.is coming up on the inside. And he is hanging on, but the gap is
:45:10. > :45:24.
:45:24. > :45:29.to say that he ran the most superbly that was held here back in 1980,
:45:29. > :45:33.just eight days after winning the Olympic title in Moscow. And that
:45:33. > :45:38.record stood until Michael Johnson broke it. It was for a nominal, and
:45:38. > :45:44.when you think of all the great sprinters that went before, Carl
:45:44. > :45:54.Lewis, none of them could get it. It was a quality world record indeed.
:45:54. > :46:07.
:46:07. > :46:11.Let's get back to action on the Mo Farah was going to go
:46:11. > :46:19.head-to-head, but you chose the 5000m, but it wasn't an easy race
:46:19. > :46:25.for the champion. Moving up on the outside now. We
:46:25. > :46:35.take the bell here. As the Olympic champion still got it in his legs?
:46:35. > :46:42.
:46:42. > :46:48.It is Mo Farah leading. Thomas longer see Longosiwa? is right on
:46:48. > :46:51.his shoulder. Trying to chase Mo Farah. Trying to chase the Olympic
:46:51. > :46:58.champion. He has been in this position before, he looks as though
:46:58. > :47:01.he is fighting at the moment. Hard around the outside, he gets ahead of
:47:01. > :47:08.Mo Farah, that is not normal. This isn't over, Mo Farah might have
:47:08. > :47:12.something in the home straight. But look at Soi, he is three metres
:47:12. > :47:20.clear. Mo Farah working hard, having a look behind. It is going to be the
:47:20. > :47:27.first defeat for the Olympic champion. Soi kicking away hard.
:47:27. > :47:30.13:04 the winning time. A 53 winning last lap. Superb running from the
:47:30. > :47:36.Kenyan, you cannot take it away from him.
:47:36. > :47:41.So second place for Mo Farah, but it was, in all honesty, a pretty
:47:41. > :47:44.comprehensive defeat by Soi. This is the problem when you become such a
:47:44. > :47:49.great champion as Mo Farah, world champion, Olympic champion, the
:47:49. > :47:53.expectations are huge that every single day, you can produce huge
:47:53. > :47:58.performances. We knew he had pulled out of the 10000m because he didn't
:47:58. > :48:01.feel in the best condition, he went to the 5000m, which is still a long
:48:01. > :48:06.way and he competed and finished second. I don't think it is a bad
:48:06. > :48:09.performance at all. Are you suggesting, with the benefit of
:48:09. > :48:13.hindsight, he shouldn't have run? Dai Greene said that sometimes you
:48:13. > :48:18.have to just get in there and mix it with the top athlete and Mo Farah is
:48:18. > :48:21.not afraid to run, so why hide? You may think that because he is the
:48:21. > :48:28.Olympic champion and world champion, he shouldn't get beaten, but why
:48:28. > :48:31.not? He needs to compete and now he nowhere is -- kiddos when he stands
:48:31. > :48:34.in this kind of situation. He still is the whole season ahead of them
:48:35. > :48:42.and will forget about that performance in three or four time.
:48:42. > :48:46.If he runs well. He has been Olympic champion, he has done all sorts of
:48:46. > :48:51.things to distract him from doing the hard yards that you need to do
:48:51. > :48:54.to run quick times and it is too late now to go back? I think Mo
:48:54. > :48:59.Farah is a sensible young man, I don't think we need to worry too
:48:59. > :49:04.much about that, and when you look at the fastest time in the world,
:49:04. > :49:12.nobody has gone under 13 minutes. It is not like anyone has had a really
:49:12. > :49:19.smoking season. This year, it is pretty calm. In the middle of that,
:49:19. > :49:23.Hagos Gebrhiwet of Ethiopian. I think many people thought he was
:49:23. > :49:27.going to win last year, he could be Mo Farah's main rival. That is not
:49:27. > :49:31.saying that any of these athletes don't have the ability to win.
:49:31. > :49:39.has run very quickly indeed, faster than Mo Farah, so we can always
:49:39. > :49:49.expect a good competition. And they have also got Soi, who beat Mo Farah
:49:49. > :49:56.
:49:56. > :50:06.in Eugene. Let's guide to the looking for good things here, but
:50:06. > :50:26.
:50:26. > :50:30.reason. So here we go again. The pay is that they have asked for is
:50:30. > :50:36.around 61, 62 seconds, and that will be quick, but these guys are
:50:36. > :50:40.reasonably good at it. Hopefully it won't be too silly and the guys can
:50:40. > :50:44.settle into a good rhythm. The question is that when they do drop
:50:44. > :50:48.out whether the big names want to keep it moving along. The tendency
:50:48. > :50:58.is that it tends to drop between three or four that have big last
:50:58. > :51:05.
:51:05. > :51:13.couple of laps. They have moved We are going back to the triple
:51:13. > :51:23.jump. This is Christian Taylor. first jump of 16.78, he will be
:51:23. > :51:46.
:51:46. > :51:50.jumping to defend his title. He drops off in the middle, has to work
:51:50. > :52:00.together out of it in the jump phase at the end. Not as smooth as he can
:52:00. > :52:13.
:52:13. > :52:19.16.93, and that takes him into the lead ahead of the Italian. Christina
:52:19. > :52:27.Obergfoll in the javelin. The event is coming thick and fast here. That
:52:27. > :52:33.has come down very early, I fancy. It is about 63. The javelin throwers
:52:33. > :52:37.enjoy a breeze over the shoulder behind them. It is very difficult
:52:37. > :52:41.when you don't have those conditions. It is a bit blustery, we
:52:41. > :52:51.have seen the wind up and down a little bit in the stadium, as it
:52:51. > :52:53.
:52:53. > :52:57.often is. 62.43, that is, just behind the leader at 62.42. Just
:52:57. > :53:02.coming round to complete the first 1,000 metres, and the pacemakers
:53:02. > :53:12.have tried to take the field with them. It is a reasonable pace,
:53:12. > :53:13.
:53:13. > :53:22.sensible, and for a little while, in main murder was the one who thought
:53:22. > :53:27.he would chase it. That Imane Merga. As soon as Imane Merga thought I am
:53:27. > :53:31.not going to leave you guys, I have worked hard to bridge the gap, you
:53:31. > :53:36.can see that the big gap has appeared. Gebrhiwet? has never been
:53:36. > :53:42.too far from the front, but these guys are trying to do good work
:53:42. > :53:47.here, doing what they are asked to do and haven't attacked it too hard.
:53:47. > :53:50.They find themselves out on their own. Gebrhiwet? has gone to the
:53:50. > :53:57.leader of that group, taking over the duties, if you like, but they
:53:57. > :54:01.are a long way behind. There he is. Imane Merga trying to get onto the
:54:01. > :54:11.shoulder of his team-mate. There is an opportunity for a quick time
:54:11. > :54:19.
:54:19. > :54:25.tonight and I know that Bikele will be running on Saturday at 10000m, so
:54:25. > :54:28.there is this jostling between the older guys and the younger guys.
:54:28. > :54:30.That usually plays into the hands of people like Mo Farah, who can
:54:30. > :54:40.prepare for the championships, where is the Ethiopians keep having to
:54:40. > :54:51.
:54:51. > :55:01.post the times. The women's high that in a moment. There are several
:55:01. > :55:07.
:55:07. > :55:13.early in the competition. At her best, a few seasons ago, a two metre
:55:13. > :55:23.jumper, but she runs very wide and comes down onto the bar. The high
:55:23. > :55:24.
:55:24. > :55:29.point was just a little ahead of the bar. Just drops down on it, doesn't
:55:29. > :55:38.she? A little adjustment in the approach, I would fancy. The
:55:38. > :55:48.approach is so vital. Sunette Viljoen in the javelin. Responding
:55:48. > :55:49.
:55:49. > :55:53.to 62.52. And that looks better. That looks better. That is better. A
:55:53. > :55:57.world championship bronze medallist in 2011, a solid citizen, very fast
:55:57. > :56:04.arm. It's that lead foot down, really hammers against it and uses
:56:04. > :56:10.it as a brace. Let's see, that does look as though it is better. Yes,
:56:10. > :56:14.she is in the lead, 63 point for nine.
:56:14. > :56:18.This 5,000 has been incredible to watch, because that big gap you saw
:56:18. > :56:22.last time, Gebrhiwet? thought enough was enough and must have run
:56:22. > :56:27.sub two minutes for the last two laps. He has dragged everybody back
:56:27. > :56:31.to the pacemakers. You can see what it did to the field, they all
:56:31. > :56:41.thought it was really on. Imane Merga try to go with him and it's
:56:41. > :56:43.
:56:43. > :56:48.paying for it. Soi, Albert Rob, they all decided they should go with it.
:56:48. > :56:50.You have got to be really good to do that in the middle of the race when
:56:50. > :56:58.they are moving at this sort of pace. They are now back at the sub
:56:58. > :57:02.13 pace. Gebrhiwet? using Geofrey Barusei, the last of the pacemakers.
:57:02. > :57:05.Gebrhiwet? really means business. He didn't want to lose the opportunity
:57:05. > :57:09.of a good time tonight but that is not really the way to do it. After a
:57:09. > :57:13.nice steady first couple of laps, a couple of slow laps and a couple of
:57:13. > :57:18.really fast laps to get the group moving again, and we had just had a
:57:18. > :57:28.62. Gebrhiwet? will be at the front but the others are starting to get
:57:28. > :57:29.
:57:29. > :57:39.closer to him again. This is hard suspect Geofrey Barusei might be
:57:39. > :57:54.
:57:54. > :58:01.the canyons. But Gebrhiwet? is effectively leading the race. Let's
:58:01. > :58:04.go back to the polevault. Yes, indeed. I tell you what, it is
:58:04. > :58:14.getting into the bounce of respectability. Five points 70
:58:14. > :58:17.
:58:17. > :58:21.metres, an absolute clearance. --5 points 70 metres. He really motors
:58:21. > :58:26.down the runway and gets himself a planned. The high point is a little
:58:26. > :58:36.bit ahead. And Vlasic means business as well at 1.92 metres. Let's see if
:58:36. > :58:40.
:58:40. > :58:48.she can go clear. She stays in, of course. They are all still there.
:58:48. > :58:56.The competition is in its early days, even though the bar has
:58:56. > :59:06.reached 1.92. The lead for her venom, at the moment. This race is
:59:06. > :59:10.
:59:10. > :59:20.really warming up here and it is a bit of a surprise to see Isaiah Kip
:59:20. > :59:25.
:59:25. > :59:35.Langat John Kipkoech narrow the gap. They will speed up again as they go
:59:35. > :59:46.
:59:46. > :59:56.Championships last season. What has he got to beat? He has got to beat
:59:56. > :00:21.
:00:21. > :00:24.noticeably down the runway. It is a bit ragged, he is up and down. He is
:00:24. > :00:34.hitting the deck and collapsing a little bit, and there was nothing
:00:34. > :00:41.
:00:41. > :00:51.left for the jump at the end, which and you could see that. There is
:00:51. > :00:58.still some work to do for this young fellow, years 24. 16.98, he is in
:00:58. > :01:08.the lead, but there are more to come some --. Things have just slowed a
:01:08. > :01:22.
:01:22. > :01:31.little. Gebrhiwet is being chased down. Alamirew is having a good race
:01:31. > :01:41.here. We are heading for some thing under the teen minutes here. But
:01:41. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:51.look at Ndiku, he has got good pace at the mile. He was the world junior
:01:51. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :01:58.champion in 2010 at 1500m. This is his first ever big 5000m, and he is
:01:58. > :02:05.doing really well. He has got onto the back of this group. And that is
:02:05. > :02:15.Koech. He is trying to get back onto these. In Ndiku is trying hard to
:02:15. > :02:28.
:02:28. > :02:37.bell. Gebrhiwet for the first time. Alamirew looks a little tired, too.
:02:37. > :02:45.If we get a big lap here, we will still get under 13 minutes. A big
:02:45. > :02:52.kick already down the back straight. Gebrhiwet will be tested again. We
:02:52. > :02:57.saw him kick once and kick again in the last race. There were a couple
:02:57. > :03:05.of slow laps, couple of hard laps and then the pace picked up again.
:03:05. > :03:09.He is under real threat here, with Alamirew right on his shoulder. And
:03:09. > :03:19.Alamirew kicks out on his shoulder. Gebrhiwet has not got enough in his
:03:19. > :03:29.legs here. This will be a surprise victory for Alamirew. Kipkoech
:03:29. > :03:33.
:03:34. > :03:39.struggles over that last lap will stop 54 point 02. Surely the
:03:39. > :03:43.Ethiopians have got to find a better way to pick their team than to allow
:03:44. > :03:53.these guys to race each other over and over again, and maybe run each
:03:54. > :03:54.
:03:54. > :03:59.other into the ground? Tonight, that is a bit of a surprise, because
:03:59. > :04:04.everyone has been looking at Gebrhiwet is the new man, the guy to
:04:04. > :04:14.beat come the World Championships. Well, he has found someone to beat
:04:14. > :04:20.him here tonight, his team-mate, Alamirew. It is really hard for
:04:20. > :04:29.them, racing at this sort of level. Look at the intensity in these last
:04:29. > :04:33.60 or 70 metres. All of a sudden, the favourite is left for speed.
:04:33. > :04:42.Alamirew a little glance over his shoulder, just confirms he has got
:04:42. > :04:49.away, but he works hard all the way through. These two represented
:04:49. > :04:55.Ethiopian at the Olympics last year, and they are both huge talents. They
:04:55. > :05:05.have traded world junior record in doors. But they may be need a bit of
:05:05. > :05:10.
:05:10. > :05:20.help from the selectors. Gebrhiwet, 12:50 5.73. That was a season's
:05:20. > :05:36.
:05:36. > :05:43.sure that you don't miss that, he will up against Justin Gatlin,
:05:43. > :05:53.Michael Rodgers as well. But he is not the only triple Olympic champion
:05:53. > :05:53.
:05:53. > :06:00.on display. -- triple champion on display. It is Allyson Felix all the
:06:00. > :06:07.way. She has the broadest smile in track and field athletics, and the
:06:07. > :06:11.fastest legs this year over 200m. Graduating from college was
:06:11. > :06:18.something that was really big for me. I was doing a lot with running,
:06:18. > :06:23.so I was proud of that. Variety Campbell Brown, we have been racing
:06:23. > :06:33.each other for a long time, and I know when I race her, she brings out
:06:33. > :06:50.
:06:50. > :06:57.the best in me. I am really good at and I love a good comedy, and that
:06:57. > :07:07.is one of the best. Ice cream. After my final in London, and made my
:07:07. > :07:25.
:07:25. > :07:35.My First Song. Martin Luther King Jr., especially right now, because
:07:35. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:49.of seeing President Obama and our one that perhaps people don't know
:07:49. > :07:58.that well. It is very strange, because she is so talented and she
:07:58. > :08:02.has won everything. But she really doesn't show her real personality,
:08:02. > :08:09.because as we saw there, she is bubbly, she is lovely, easy for
:08:09. > :08:17.people to get on with. But perhaps she needs to beat people like Sanya
:08:17. > :08:27.Richards-Ross. She could protect -- project her personality are little
:08:27. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:32.more. Yes, she runs well, and that is it, but Usain Bolt has set the
:08:32. > :08:38.mantle for what people can achieve, you can be a personality in this
:08:38. > :08:47.sport. Allyson Felix has got the success, now she can show her
:08:48. > :08:57.personality. She is a beautiful runner, liquid. Over to the javelin
:08:58. > :09:00.
:09:00. > :09:07.there. But back to Allyson Felix, she reminds me a little bit of
:09:07. > :09:15.Dudley Wiggins. She doesn't look like she has much muscle on her
:09:15. > :09:22.body, and yet she has incredible power. When you talk about somebody
:09:22. > :09:26.who runs effortlessly and is flawless technically, you find it
:09:26. > :09:30.difficult to criticise her technique. She covers so much ground
:09:30. > :09:36.with every strike that she makes, and that is the reason why she is so
:09:36. > :09:45.quick. She doesn't like the 100m so much because she is not sharp out of
:09:45. > :09:51.the blocks. 200m and 400m are more suited to her. The local director
:09:51. > :10:01.chooses what we watch, not us here at the BBC. The Men's Triple Jump is
:10:01. > :10:02.
:10:02. > :10:08.going on, as well. It is the raise everyone wants to see, Allyson Felix
:10:08. > :10:14.against Sanya Richards-Ross. Allyson Felix keep dabbling with the
:10:14. > :10:20.200m and the 400m. If she wants to do the 400m, she should focus on
:10:20. > :10:30.that event, perhaps a whole season on it would see a real difference in
:10:30. > :10:48.
:10:48. > :10:56.her 400m running. Blanka Vlasic, the bar at 1.95 now. At the moment, it
:10:56. > :11:02.is Svetlana Shkolina who is in the lead. And Phillips Idowu over on his
:11:02. > :11:12.triple jump, it is still Daniele Greco in the lead. These triple
:11:12. > :11:22.jumpers are right next to the track. They could have jumped out into a
:11:22. > :11:23.
:11:23. > :11:29.5000 metre runner. I think Allyson Felix will be looking to run her
:11:29. > :11:39.season's best. They are good conditions. It is time to hand over
:11:39. > :11:40.
:11:40. > :11:50.to our commentary team. She started quite well last year,
:11:50. > :11:52.
:11:52. > :12:02.this is Stewart, medal in the Olympics. Lauryn Williams has been
:12:02. > :12:13.
:12:13. > :12:23.around a while. And this is Jenny for, but she has got Muriel Ahoure
:12:23. > :12:23.
:12:23. > :13:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:13:19. > :13:27.has gone off very well. So has Lauryn Williams. Allyson Felix has a
:13:27. > :13:37.lot of work to do to catch of array. Ahoure is going to win this
:13:37. > :13:41.comfortably! Allyson Felix in second place. 22.37, what a run by a Ahoure
:13:42. > :13:46.of the Ivory Coast. I said she had started the season quite well, but
:13:46. > :13:56.that underlines a fine performance. Allyson Felix is in great form at
:13:56. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:03.the moment, and that is a new national record for Ahoure. She is
:14:03. > :14:10.being congratulated by Lalova, the European champion. We didn't quite
:14:10. > :14:17.expect that at all. Felix didn't get the bends right. I don't think she
:14:17. > :14:23.ran all that well. She just looks tight here. You don't often see
:14:23. > :14:29.Felix running like this in the closing stages. Ahoure had the race
:14:29. > :14:38.one coming off the bend. For someone who is more renowned as a good
:14:38. > :14:44.indoor runner, 60 metres, but look at this form here. A really good
:14:44. > :14:52.bend, got the lead, no question about the time. Her knees are coming
:14:52. > :14:59.up nicely, the arms. She kept the form really well. No weakness from
:14:59. > :15:09.Ahoure. I don't think she started that well in the 100m last week, and
:15:09. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:19.I know it was windy, but she still national record. Ivet Lalova just
:15:19. > :15:27.held up Kerron Stewart, what a great held up Kerron Stewart, what a great
:15:28. > :15:37.race. So a break surprise, Ahoure. -- a big surprise. Let's have
:15:38. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :15:43.another look at this. JONATHAN EDWARDS:. Colin, let's have
:15:43. > :15:48.a look at that. We will get a reaction shortly, what is your
:15:48. > :15:53.reaction? I am very surprised indeed. But Ahoure is a class
:15:53. > :15:57.athlete, we shouldn't underrate what she can do. It was this time I share
:15:57. > :16:02.that she broke through in the 100m and beat a very strong field -- this
:16:02. > :16:09.time that year. She has returned to Rome and done very well. Allyson
:16:09. > :16:12.Felix is about to join us. Not the result we were expecting or I
:16:12. > :16:17.suspect you were expecting? It is an interesting year for me, I'm trying
:16:17. > :16:24.to piece things together and hoping to make the team in a few weeks.
:16:24. > :16:29.what you expected from the season, why is that? It is what I expected,
:16:29. > :16:33.I am taking a different approach this time. I'm taking it slowly,
:16:33. > :16:37.putting things together. And your plans for Moscow? Well, you have the
:16:37. > :16:41.US trials first of all, let's not take anything for granted.
:16:41. > :16:48.Definitely, just trying to make the team and we will see what happens.
:16:48. > :16:53.What will Bobby saved when he sees this result? He knows we have a plan
:16:53. > :16:57.and it is his plan, so I am trusting him. It has worked in the past.
:16:57. > :17:02.Yes, and whatever happens later in the season is what counts. A great
:17:02. > :17:12.night of athletics here so far and there is plenty more to come over
:17:12. > :17:38.
:17:38. > :17:47.amazing summer of athletics, live After we are Rob Bear, go to the red
:17:47. > :17:52.button or the BBC sport website -- after we are off air. And next week,
:17:52. > :17:57.Oslo, we will be there, BBC Three once again, for the prestigious
:17:57. > :18:04.Bislett Games. Usain Bolt will be there, hopefully. And maybe Jessica
:18:04. > :18:07.Ennis, but she has a slight Achilles problem. And on the weekend of June
:18:07. > :18:17.the 22nd and 23rd, two days of action from Gateshead as it hosts
:18:17. > :18:28.
:18:28. > :18:31.the European Championships. Mo Farah So the Boltdown continues, and it is
:18:31. > :18:41.a head-to-head with Justin Gatlin. It is going to be some watch, I
:18:41. > :19:02.
:19:02. > :19:06.Just talking about Usain Bolt versus Justin Gatlin and let's not forget
:19:06. > :19:10.Michael Rodgers. Usain Bolt will have a few question marks in his
:19:10. > :19:15.mind, won't he? Add to seeing what happened to Allyson Felix, you can
:19:15. > :19:19.imagine he is thinking, I hope I don't go the same way. It is going
:19:19. > :19:26.to be a tough race. It is getting a little bit cooler, since the sun has
:19:26. > :19:30.gone down in Rome. I think it must be three or four degrees it has
:19:30. > :19:33.dropped from earlier today, so it is getting chillier by the minute.
:19:33. > :19:39.These middle distance runners will love it, there is not too much
:19:39. > :19:42.about. Add the crowd, I don't know if you can hear it above the
:19:42. > :19:47.microphones, but they are really anticipating a sensational end to
:19:48. > :19:52.the season in Rome, but for us, we still have a lot of athletics in
:19:53. > :19:59.front of us and some really strong competition. Will we see a world
:19:59. > :20:08.league today? You are looking at me going, no chance. We do have David
:20:08. > :20:18.radicchio, Olympic champion over 1500m back in 2010. Let's go to the
:20:18. > :20:24.
:20:24. > :20:31.he has run a timed effort in ten year when he ran 1:44, so he is well
:20:31. > :20:33.capable of taking of these men -- in Kenya. Bram Som will take the
:20:33. > :20:43.pacemaking duties and has the experience to do that well,
:20:43. > :20:52.hopefully. So some real talent on display, so much young talent in the
:20:52. > :20:58.men's 800m in the world this year. Muhammad Ahmad just 19, Kiprop just
:20:58. > :21:08.18. They will want to stretch it out, it is quite a big deal. Let's
:21:08. > :21:10.
:21:10. > :21:15.hope we don't get any problems. Bram Som just moving through. Muhammad
:21:15. > :21:20.Ahmad wants to be near the front. When Solomon coming through and
:21:20. > :21:25.Kiprop getting involved. It will be interesting to see what sort of
:21:25. > :21:33.Kiprop we have got, we know he can be erratic in his racing over 1500m
:21:33. > :21:39.and 800m. He is a pretty good 800m man, he's moving nicely now into
:21:39. > :21:47.second place ahead of Solomon as you can see. A sensible pace, 50.3, and
:21:47. > :21:55.it is almost there. Spot on from Bram Som. So Kiprop really going for
:21:55. > :22:05.it, attacking these 800m men. Muhammad a man is behind him. --
:22:05. > :22:12.
:22:12. > :22:18.Muhammad a Aman. Look at Kiprop now, as they attack him. The 800m men and
:22:18. > :22:24.Muhammad a man kicks away from the front. -- Aman kicks away from the
:22:25. > :22:30.front. Olivier is getting involved. Kiprop is coming back, but no doubt
:22:30. > :22:40.about the winner. Pierre-Ambroise Bosse is trying to run him down, but
:22:40. > :22:43.
:22:43. > :22:49.it is Aman all the way. He takes the world lead. Two wins in a row and
:22:49. > :22:52.only Rhodesia has been better than this man this year. Kiprop finished
:22:52. > :22:58.strongly, but he could not get into the top three. It was a brave effort
:22:58. > :23:04.from him to attack these guys and he helped them get the first time, but
:23:04. > :23:14.Aman looking good, so strong over the last 200m. But what about
:23:14. > :23:15.
:23:15. > :23:20.Pierre-Ambroise Bosse? It was a fine finished, but -- fine finish, but
:23:20. > :23:25.Aman really attacked over the last 200m and he is proving to be a
:23:25. > :23:29.difficult man to beat. Very difficult indeed. Pierre-Ambroise
:23:29. > :23:39.Bosse was very strong indeed, as was Olivier, the South African. He's 23
:23:39. > :23:45.no, world junior championship bronze a few seasons ago -- 23 now. And
:23:45. > :23:51.Pierre-Ambroise Bosse not a personal best in dough ha, he is making some
:23:51. > :23:57.strides forward in this event. A fine run, it went pretty well to the
:23:57. > :24:00.script, but it was difficult to predict who might win. And this 100m
:24:01. > :24:10.coming up, it is also not easy to predict what sort of form Usain Bolt
:24:11. > :24:12.
:24:12. > :24:15.The result of the 800m. A world lead from Aman. Pierre-Ambroise Bosse
:24:15. > :24:25.with a personal best. Andre Olivier with the season's vest and a
:24:25. > :24:45.
:24:45. > :24:54.personal best for Gia Donna -- G race. But Aman really impressive
:24:54. > :25:00.over the last 200m. Kiprop faded badly. Solomon had nothing left. And
:25:00. > :25:03.Pierre-Ambroise Bosse was always in a good position. And some men are
:25:03. > :25:09.running some good times behind these guys. But no doubt about the
:25:09. > :25:13.winner. He got caught out at the Olympics a little bit when he had
:25:13. > :25:17.been running well but he looks more consistent this year, getting his
:25:17. > :25:24.tactics right, puts himself in a good position and runs the first lap
:25:24. > :25:28.sensibly and is really strong on the last lap. Back to the triple jump.
:25:28. > :25:32.Getting back to the sort of form we know, that looks good. He was
:25:32. > :25:38.already leading with 16.98, and that looks to be around about the same.
:25:38. > :25:43.He has got the white flag. I just wonder if that is 17 metre jump.
:25:43. > :25:46.Let's have a look at him closely. It's the board well, a good first
:25:46. > :25:49.phase, a bit better in the middle but he still had to work hard from
:25:50. > :25:54.the second phase to get into the jump and he had a bit of a fallback
:25:54. > :26:00.as well. He is really working hard. Perhaps too hard in the middle. It
:26:00. > :26:10.is not like a stone whipping across the surface of the water. A little
:26:10. > :26:19.
:26:19. > :26:24.bit heavy, but 17.04, and that extends his lead by six centimetres.
:26:24. > :26:31.Abakumova a little bit erratic with her form at the moment. But that is
:26:31. > :26:41.a little bit better. But it won't challenge the lead. Still the
:26:41. > :26:58.
:26:58. > :27:04.Into second place. Shkolina in the high jump. And that
:27:04. > :27:08.is another fine clearance. She is going so well. A second attempt at
:27:08. > :27:18.1.98 metres and she needed that. Still in the lead, along with
:27:18. > :27:26.
:27:26. > :27:36.Chicherova. She failed on her first place, along with Anna Chicherova,
:27:36. > :27:44.
:27:44. > :27:50.this woman. She has got a second champion, world champion and defends
:27:50. > :27:56.her title this year. She is back in some sort of form, as you can see.
:27:56. > :28:00.She is such a good technician. is, and you can see that these two
:28:00. > :28:09.women are in good form. They are jumping well. Vlasic is trying to
:28:09. > :28:13.find that form. He/she is with third attempt. -- here she is. Just
:28:13. > :28:18.struggling. It is understandable, it is going to take a while to get back
:28:18. > :28:23.up to the two metre mark and beyond, but it will come. She is too
:28:23. > :28:33.talented not to get back up there. So Vlasic going out. She will take
:28:33. > :28:41.
:28:41. > :28:46.third place here tonight. They are JONATHAN EDWARDS: Action is still
:28:46. > :28:50.going on in the stadium, the triple jump, the high jump, but apart from
:28:50. > :28:54.Greco, the Italian in the triple jump, there is only one man people
:28:54. > :28:59.are looking for. We have all of the crowd coming down from their seats,
:28:59. > :29:05.standing at the railings. They have been sent right back. Usain Bolt
:29:05. > :29:08.will be about 120 metres up there. You know him well, how cool is he?
:29:08. > :29:14.He will always be anxious when he competes, and you will see this
:29:14. > :29:17.year, he has trained well, he's in decent shape, but he has seen people
:29:17. > :29:21.run quickly quite early, so he will be anxious. He is a great champion
:29:21. > :29:24.and he will want to deliver a performance for this crowd. He will
:29:24. > :29:28.have noticed that people have come out of their seats and moved forward
:29:28. > :29:36.to see him, so he will want to put on a great show. He does hold the
:29:36. > :29:41.track record, will he improve on it? The track record is? 9.7. He is not
:29:42. > :29:46.going to run that, is he? You just never know what he's feeling. In
:29:46. > :29:51.terms of the late line-up, Michael Rodgers alongside him, Justin Gatlin
:29:51. > :29:54.one lane away. Anything to read into that? Michael Rodgers is a great
:29:54. > :29:58.starter, so Usain Bolt will appreciate that he will drag him
:29:58. > :30:02.through the early part of the race. Justin Gatlin, as we have seen, on
:30:02. > :30:06.many occasions, is a very strong finisher, so Usain Bolt will want to
:30:06. > :30:09.be as close to Michael Rodgers as they can. Fitness, a slight
:30:09. > :30:19.hamstring problem he has had, a back issue, which is a chronic thing,
:30:19. > :30:42.
:30:43. > :30:52.Bolt, you will always have those the same bolt is in the house, would
:30:52. > :30:57.you? ! I see Jamaican flags flying all over the place, people with
:30:57. > :31:06.Jamaican flag face paint on. They really do want him to do well.
:31:06. > :31:16.Various Justin Gatlin. He said he feels very relaxed coming into this
:31:16. > :31:22.
:31:22. > :31:29.race. He got his bronze medal in the Olympic, he is ready. He has the
:31:29. > :31:39.same preparation, he walks the whole length of the 100m, has a look and
:31:39. > :31:42.
:31:42. > :31:46.strolls back down. The Boltdown is We don't know what sort of form
:31:46. > :31:54.Usain Bolt is in. He has had a little bit of an injury, and come
:31:54. > :32:04.back. Not quite so much theatre. The crowd are waiting for the great man
:32:04. > :32:04.
:32:04. > :32:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:32:55. > :32:59.to get away. Will he prevail, all you what, let's bring that up on the
:32:59. > :33:08.scoreboard here and see what actually happened in the end. But my
:33:08. > :33:16.goodness me. Gatling gets it, 9.94. He said, when I prepare to run
:33:16. > :33:24.against Usain Bolt, I expect to run under ten seconds. So I prepare to
:33:24. > :33:32.run in nine point 95. The party has been spoiled. It promised it might
:33:32. > :33:40.be. And Kim Collins was going very strongly at the beginning of the
:33:40. > :33:48.race, really put pressure on. But Jimmy Vicaut it was who came through
:33:48. > :33:58.to take third place. Usain Bolt on the day got away OK, wasn't the best
:33:58. > :34:00.
:34:00. > :34:08.away, but Gatlin, who is well raced, he has won all the 100m this season.
:34:08. > :34:12.He enjoyed that. I am never the biggest fan of Justin Gatlin. We all
:34:12. > :34:22.know he has been banned and come back. Bolt wasn't very good by his
:34:22. > :34:25.
:34:25. > :34:30.standard. He had a good start, but Gatlin just was stronger. There is
:34:30. > :34:35.nothing here from the same bolt. Look how hard he is lowing, and how
:34:35. > :34:40.hard this is for him to run just under ten seconds. That would
:34:40. > :34:50.normally have been a stroll for him. He won't like being beaten by Justin
:34:50. > :34:55.
:34:55. > :35:05.character, some Beeb think he may be shouldn't still be competing, but he
:35:05. > :35:08.
:35:08. > :35:18.is, he is here, and he is unbeaten this year. Usain Bolt, a season's
:35:18. > :35:18.
:35:19. > :35:28.best. Jimmy Vicaut equalled his personal best. Bolt was untried this
:35:28. > :35:34.year. Tyson Gay looked good in New York, as well. The World
:35:34. > :35:41.Championship was the event in which Usain Bolt was disqualified. Johann
:35:41. > :35:50.Blake, the Jamaican, has also been injured. Gatling certainly gets away
:35:50. > :36:00.as well. Look at Kim Collins, third from the left. And Jimmy Vicaut came
:36:00. > :36:00.
:36:00. > :36:07.through very strongly to take Rogers. He worked so hard out of the
:36:07. > :36:13.blocks, sandwiched between the two. But Usain Bolt looked heavy. He is
:36:13. > :36:16.blowing. There is tension there. His face tells the story. There is all
:36:16. > :36:23.sorts of pressure on this man, and that is a reaction you can
:36:23. > :36:30.understand. I am sure we will see him come back to his best. But he
:36:30. > :36:40.knows now that he has got some opposition. Hussain always races --
:36:40. > :36:45.Usain Bolt always races his best during the season. Good start, but
:36:45. > :36:52.what happened after that? I think it was the fact that I got a good start
:36:52. > :36:59.that threw me off! About five steps in, I stumbled a little, and my legs
:36:59. > :37:03.didn't feel like my legs. It was just one of those things. I was
:37:03. > :37:08.looking at the start carefully, and you did react very well, but it was
:37:08. > :37:15.that crucial drive phase. You have to keep that continuous movement. Is
:37:15. > :37:21.that from your injury, is that on your mind? I think it is just time
:37:21. > :37:28.to get it back together. This season goes right back to ground zero for
:37:28. > :37:33.some reason. I was all over the place after the start, and at the
:37:33. > :37:39.end, it was just not me. How about the 200m to come? I am looking
:37:39. > :37:45.forward to that. I have been doing a lot of work on that. I am looking
:37:46. > :37:55.forward to do my best. And in terms of the time, 9.95? At least I got
:37:56. > :37:57.
:37:57. > :38:05.under ten seconds. So, for a star who has just lost, he seems pretty.
:38:05. > :38:11.I think so, because he has been here before. He has been here before. He
:38:11. > :38:15.will return. He doesn't seem to anxious. I have seen him look a
:38:15. > :38:22.little wobbly before when he has lost competitions, but not this time
:38:22. > :38:29.around. He feels like it is all there. It almost feel like it
:38:29. > :38:35.doesn't matter that he lost tonight. He lost to Gatling, but it doesn't
:38:35. > :38:42.seem to matter. This crowd are just very happy indeed that he is here.
:38:42. > :38:48.It just tells us all that when you are a superstar, you can fall. But I
:38:48. > :38:57.have no doubt he will return. for summary as experienced as Usain
:38:57. > :39:00.Bolt, he said, I got a good start and it shocked me! PE is used to
:39:00. > :39:09.working his way through the field rather than being there at the
:39:09. > :39:16.beginning of a race. He got a great start, but he forgot to drive! It is
:39:16. > :39:26.Justin Gatlin he is up against, and he has run well all season already.
:39:26. > :39:26.
:39:26. > :39:33.He only lost by one 100th of a second. Hopefully we will speak to
:39:33. > :39:40.Justin Gatlin shortly. He has returned, everybody wants to take
:39:40. > :39:47.him seriously, he has won Olympic medals. And we all know that Tyson
:39:47. > :39:56.Gay is running well, and the US Championships are going well. You
:39:56. > :40:03.have Bailey, Gatlin and gay. One of the things you mentioned about Usain
:40:03. > :40:11.Bolt losing the Jamaican trials last year, it is almost a bad thing to
:40:11. > :40:17.beat him early, because it gets into focus! He is not stressed at this
:40:17. > :40:24.moment. August is a long way away in the world of athletics. He just
:40:24. > :40:29.needs to go back to the drawing board. He was hungry to look at the
:40:29. > :40:32.replay is to back-up what he felt. He will have a chat with the coach,
:40:32. > :40:39.and the coach will say where things went wrong and what he can improve
:40:39. > :40:43.on. It is going to be interesting. We nearly had Justin Gatlin, he was
:40:43. > :40:47.coming towards us, and now he has gone off the other way to the
:40:47. > :40:51.presentation. We will hopefully get that interview before we go off air,
:40:51. > :40:59.and if we don't, we will do the interview and it will be on the BBC
:40:59. > :41:07.website later on. He has got so much in attack. It is a huge luxury to
:41:07. > :41:12.have, to have so much left in the tank. And I think we will see it.
:41:12. > :41:18.Last year's 100m, he was disappointed that he didn't get the
:41:18. > :41:23.world record at the Olympic Games, and I am pretty sure that if he
:41:23. > :41:32.switches on, he will try to win the world title back. He had that false
:41:32. > :41:42.start last time. A Jamaican round again. Let's catch up with some
:41:42. > :41:50.
:41:50. > :42:00.third place, back from injury, Dylan Armstrong. He was fifth last year.
:42:00. > :42:03.
:42:03. > :42:11.His best throw came in the last American, Cory Martin, took second
:42:12. > :42:21.place. His first round throw of 20.54 was good enough to hold off
:42:22. > :42:38.
:42:38. > :42:47.Dylan Armstrong. He hit that very David Storl of Germany went on to
:42:47. > :42:51.20.70 in round four. The linear technique as opposed to rotating.
:42:51. > :42:56.Far more consistent across the series. Not happy with the
:42:56. > :43:06.distance, perhaps, but it is a win. He will defend his title in Moscow
:43:06. > :43:26.
:43:27. > :43:36.finalist in London was third, and it was her first round throw of 62.85.
:43:37. > :43:40.
:43:40. > :43:44.Yarelis Barrios of Cuba was fourth in London, and opened with 64.41.
:43:44. > :43:51.Her second place behind the Olympic champion was a fine effort. But
:43:51. > :44:01.Sandra Perkovic of Croatia, she began the series and followed up
:44:01. > :44:01.
:44:01. > :44:11.with over 68 metres. Two world leads, a second round throw of
:44:11. > :44:26.
:44:26. > :44:34.68.25, good enough to win once close. Teddy Tamgho is just getting
:44:34. > :44:41.his rhythm together now. A little bit ragged at the end. But that is
:44:41. > :44:47.very, very close indeed. Greco is in the lead, but how close is this? We
:44:47. > :44:54.are waiting to see. It is good to see the Frenchman back. He takes
:44:54. > :45:03.second place. And Christian Taylor needs to find some. And he may have
:45:03. > :45:12.done! Now, then. He has got the white flag. What has Taylor got? He
:45:12. > :45:19.needs to be Greco to go into the lead. It looked a little bit better.
:45:19. > :45:24.He may well have done enough. He is a champion, of course, Olympic and
:45:24. > :45:33.world champion, I repeat that again because it is worth saying. He
:45:33. > :45:43.doesn't like losing. And he has gone into the lead! Look at that, four
:45:43. > :45:46.
:45:46. > :45:56.Renaud Lavillenie in the pole vault, attempting 5.86. The only man
:45:56. > :46:16.
:46:16. > :46:22.similar to his first effort at 5.80. He lasted a little bit. So
:46:22. > :46:26.Renaud Lavillenie is certainly well capable of going clear. Can Greco
:46:26. > :46:32.respond in the triple jump. He has just seen Christian Taylor, the
:46:32. > :46:42.Olympic and world champion, take his lead. The crowd on the back straight
:46:42. > :46:53.
:46:53. > :47:00.cheering on the European indoor got the white flag. Trying too
:47:00. > :47:05.hard, a little march across to his coach, what happened? Really ragged.
:47:05. > :47:09.The forward rotation in the middle, you could see him desperately trying
:47:09. > :47:15.to stop himself rotating forward and that interferes with the jump of the
:47:15. > :47:19.third phase, so he has got some work to do. But he has only got four
:47:19. > :47:25.centimetres to find. Only. Bad triple jump is not really coming
:47:25. > :47:32.alive, to be honest. Phillips Idowu, 16.44 in his first round, he
:47:32. > :47:38.had 2,000 he has passed the next two jobs. He has one jump left. -- he
:47:38. > :47:42.had two fouls. I think we are expecting much bigger jumping all
:47:42. > :47:50.around. It is just over 17 metres for the leader, recto. Phillips
:47:50. > :47:52.hasn't really come alive. Is the area bit heavy? The women's long
:47:52. > :47:59.jumpers did very well indeed, see you cannot say the runway is not
:47:59. > :48:02.right. Shara Proctor jumped 16.91 in third place, just four centimetres
:48:02. > :48:07.short of the British record. After the disappointment last summer, she
:48:07. > :48:17.has broken the record in the trials and then really bombed in the
:48:17. > :48:20.
:48:20. > :48:25.finals. She said in the interview, she was quite consistent, around the
:48:25. > :48:31.same amounts, but it can happen to the best of us. It certainly can.
:48:31. > :48:37.And Phillips Idowu, here's a Hackney boy, it was in his own backyard, he
:48:37. > :48:41.had all of those chances and it has gone there, you would hope he could
:48:41. > :48:45.be brought more back into the fold and you can see the kind he has,
:48:45. > :48:50.rather than what we saw last year, which was a shadow of what he's
:48:50. > :48:56.capable of. And it is very difficult now to get into competitions, you
:48:56. > :48:59.have do speak to the meet organisers to get in when you are not jumping
:48:59. > :49:04.well. If there are strong people around you, they will take them
:49:04. > :49:08.first. Phillips Idowu has the get some good jumps in the bag and get
:49:08. > :49:16.over 17 metres to continue his progress. He went to New York and
:49:16. > :49:21.did not start, and we thought it was because the runway was too wet, it
:49:21. > :49:25.is not what promoters want to see. They will always take note that, so
:49:25. > :49:30.you have to behave yourself when you are invited to the biggest athletic
:49:30. > :49:32.competition in the world outside of major championships. You have got to
:49:32. > :49:37.really understand what is expected of you and I don't think they were
:49:37. > :49:42.expecting that as a result. And one other disappointment for tonight,
:49:42. > :49:48.Steve Lewis in the pole vault, he has been jumping a lot, but no
:49:48. > :49:54.height at 5.50. He will be disappointed, because Rome has an
:49:54. > :49:58.incredible history for very high jumping in deed. 5.94 is the record,
:49:58. > :50:02.of the top of my head. And even today, Renaud Lavillenie was
:50:02. > :50:08.struggling a little bit and we thought at one stage he may not lead
:50:08. > :50:13.the competition, but he is still in and battling. And the bar is at 5.86
:50:13. > :50:17.metres, so still a major competition going on. We have not had the
:50:17. > :50:21.fastest times yet it is a beautiful evening. It is interesting, because
:50:21. > :50:26.I am wondering whether some of the athletes go to and fro, all over the
:50:26. > :50:30.USA, across to Asia, and are a little bit tired, so that could be
:50:30. > :50:40.an issue with some of the guys. The final track event of this evening is
:50:40. > :50:44.
:50:44. > :50:48.underway, the women's 3,000 metres She has shown she has the ability in
:50:48. > :50:58.the slow running races to finish strongly, particularly on the last
:50:58. > :51:01.
:51:02. > :51:06.lap. Finally we are underway. Lidya Chepkurui happy to just be halfway
:51:06. > :51:12.down the pack and watching her main rivals. The pacemakers have been
:51:12. > :51:22.asked to go to a pretty swift time. Around three minutes for 1,000
:51:22. > :51:36.
:51:36. > :51:39.the pacemakers. Trying to find a little bit of daylight so they can
:51:39. > :51:47.put a good side of the barrier. Through the water jump for the first
:51:47. > :51:53.time. -- a good side of the barrier. Interesting situation in the high
:51:53. > :52:00.jump. They have gone down from 1.99, but failing. We will come back to
:52:00. > :52:10.that in a moment, it is a good story. Is still up there at 5.80
:52:10. > :52:24.
:52:24. > :52:30.plus and that is a good clearance in indeed. The bar is up now at coming
:52:30. > :52:36.up to 5.91. 5.86 was that clearance, a third attempt. And
:52:36. > :52:43.now, the bar has gone down to 1.99, and bend down to 1.97 in the high
:52:43. > :52:49.jump. -- bend down. And there is a tired look about that face,
:52:49. > :52:53.Charlene, she is the first to go clear. -- Shkolina. The competition
:52:54. > :53:03.is still on. If Chicherova fails at this height, Shkolina will have won
:53:04. > :53:05.
:53:05. > :53:09.it. But they are both looking very, very tired. And of course, if they
:53:09. > :53:19.succeed at 1.97, then the bar has to go up again. It gets very
:53:19. > :53:19.
:53:19. > :53:23.Justin Gatlin is alongside me. You talked about beating Usain Bolt, you
:53:23. > :53:27.have done it, how does it feel? It felt good, I couldn't get my race
:53:27. > :53:32.tragedy that this year. I was not really worried about who was in the
:53:32. > :53:34.race, but just wanted to put a good pattern together. Usain Bolt is a
:53:34. > :53:40.great competitor and a great champion so to come out here and
:53:40. > :53:44.have a victory, it shows I'm having a good season so far, and I just
:53:44. > :53:49.want to be confident and dominant when I run, no matter what the
:53:49. > :53:55.timers. So I guess you go to the heart of the issue, it is about
:53:55. > :53:59.confidence and domination. But beating Usain Bolt is. I guess it
:53:59. > :54:02.kind of stood up some hairs on the back of the necks of my competitors,
:54:03. > :54:07.but it is about the dogfight, it is not about the times, it is about
:54:07. > :54:11.putting on the show for the fans and I think the fans think we put on a
:54:12. > :54:17.great show. Usain Bolt lost last year and it provided a great focus
:54:17. > :54:20.for him. Do you think it spurs him on? You can never count him out, he
:54:20. > :54:23.lost both of the races at his nationals last year and he came back
:54:23. > :54:29.and was Olympic champion in both races, so you can never count him
:54:29. > :54:39.out. You just have to come in there with a great strategy and hope it
:54:39. > :54:49.
:54:49. > :54:57.works. Great job, well done.Thank Hariri is there as well. -- Lidya
:54:57. > :55:06.Chepkurui. In that group as well is the Moroccan. Just picking up
:55:06. > :55:16.against a little bit, trying to stretch them out if they can. Salima
:55:16. > :55:22.
:55:22. > :55:29.El Ouali Alami doing well to stay in is now left to the others to decide
:55:29. > :55:36.how to beat Lidya Chepkurui. She is looking nice and fresh, and she is
:55:36. > :55:40.so good in the last 1,000 metres and the others know that we see
:55:40. > :55:47.Chicherova now. If she clears this, she wins. If she fails it, they know
:55:47. > :55:54.on or accept it is a time. No, no. They are both absolutely exhausted
:55:54. > :55:58.and I think the sensible thing would be to accept it is a tight. Renaud
:55:58. > :56:08.Lavillenie, both failed at this height, I think they both have to go
:56:08. > :56:08.
:56:08. > :56:16.down to 1.97. This is 5.914 Renaud Lavillenie. It took him to attempt
:56:16. > :56:25.at 5.86, but he is leader ahead of Malte Mohr. He is the man to beat at
:56:25. > :56:35.the moment. As we saw in Eugene, 5.95. The conditions are pretty good
:56:35. > :56:42.
:56:42. > :56:48.here, it is quite calm in the Chemos has things up again. It was
:56:48. > :56:55.getting so slow, after 3.04, they then went 3.12 for the second 1,000
:56:55. > :56:58.metres. That is a bit more normal. I don't think Chepkurui is that
:56:58. > :57:08.bothered, she is on the inside, really happy with this. She has
:57:08. > :57:13.
:57:14. > :57:23.three Ethiopians with her, she has Chemos with her. Diro in second
:57:24. > :57:24.
:57:24. > :57:34.place. There is a big gap back to the Moroccan, who tried to keep
:57:34. > :57:36.
:57:36. > :57:39.will not see the conclusion of it on BBC Three, but if you switch over to
:57:40. > :57:44.the red button know, or indeed on to the BBC website, you can see the end
:57:44. > :57:48.of the women's 3,000 metres steeplechase. So that is it from
