Diamond League - Zurich

:00:45. > :00:54.A very good evening from Zurich, for live Diamond League.

:00:55. > :00:59.They call this the best one-day meeting in the world, conditions are

:01:00. > :01:02.perfect. Cast your mind back less than a couple of weeks to the

:01:03. > :01:05.European Championships, it was cold, wet, windy, but the athletics was

:01:06. > :01:23.hot. Her whole career has been about this

:01:24. > :01:38.moment. Good job. Is it, it is, most are coming away with a win. What a

:01:39. > :01:48.win. The same. Adam Gemili, gold for Britain. The two best in the world.

:01:49. > :01:58.They made it look easy, absolutely dominant. Mo Farah, streaking away.

:01:59. > :02:04.It is Dasaolu. A scintillating European Championships for the

:02:05. > :02:09.British team. It was some Championships, I know you enjoyed

:02:10. > :02:14.it, I did, and Denise Lewis enjoyed it alongside me. It was something

:02:15. > :02:19.quite incredible to see the way the athletes performed. Absolutely, so

:02:20. > :02:25.important that athletes are able to raise their game. The athletes did

:02:26. > :02:30.that at this stadium a couple of weeks ago, it was great to watch.

:02:31. > :02:34.Over the last few years they have put in some really good times,

:02:35. > :02:42.performances, but could they deliver and take medals? They did. Was it

:02:43. > :02:50.slightly unexpected? Maybe a few. There was such a great mood in the

:02:51. > :02:53.camp, Joe Pavey setting off the gold rush. You have to believe you can

:02:54. > :02:59.come and mix it with the best. This is the best, the best Diamond League

:03:00. > :03:14.meeting in the world. Seven athletes who meddled in in Zurich. -- who won

:03:15. > :03:17.medals. It is very difficult, you can be mentally fatigued, after a

:03:18. > :03:24.couple of big Championships. You can see the edge go. Nevertheless, it

:03:25. > :03:27.will be very competitive. The atmosphere is incredible, a packed

:03:28. > :03:36.house. Hopefully that will spur them on to do well. The chairs are for

:03:37. > :03:40.the 400 metres hurdles. The Swiss crowd looking forward to this race.

:03:41. > :03:47.They were so desperate to get that gold medal. He provided the

:03:48. > :03:52.highlight for the Championships. This promises to be very good. This

:03:53. > :03:56.is the culmination of the Diamond League series, but now the 400 metre

:03:57. > :04:15.men's hurdles. Everyone here, has had a reasonable

:04:16. > :04:25.season. Just waiting to be called forward. Cato, Frederick, Coulson,

:04:26. > :05:28.the same -- Hussain. No problem with the start, Tinsley

:05:29. > :05:37.has gone off quickly. So has Felix Sanchez. Coulson going very

:05:38. > :05:43.strongly. Right up onto the shoulder of Hussain. Looking good at 200

:05:44. > :05:53.metres. Looks like all soon is leading three 200 metres. --

:05:54. > :05:58.through. Hussain going strongly, he is leading into the straights. He

:05:59. > :06:06.has a battle on, Colson coming through. Tinsley is looking strong.

:06:07. > :06:15.So if these African Fredericks. It comes Tinsley, Fredericks getting

:06:16. > :06:25.it. Coulson third. 48.26. What a race that was. Hussain gave the

:06:26. > :06:31.Swiss fans a lot to celebrate coming off the final bend, in the end, and

:06:32. > :06:42.very good run by Fredericks, the South African. Season's best, what a

:06:43. > :06:45.time to do that. Tinsley with that eight points takes the Diamond.

:06:46. > :07:00.Wonderful stuff. The eight points takes the Diamond.

:07:01. > :07:03.personal best. -- Hussain, 48.70. A great end to a wonderful

:07:04. > :07:09.championship against the best the world has too often. All credit to

:07:10. > :07:12.Hussain, he went, nearly delivered. Tinsley going off very strong. Not

:07:13. > :07:21.as strongly as Coulson, I Tinsley going off very strong. Not

:07:22. > :07:26.had got this. The way that Tinsley going off very strong. Not

:07:27. > :07:32.came through, Fredericks, really attacking the last 50 metres.

:07:33. > :07:38.Digging deep. Despite the dip from Tinsley, takes it by the tiniest of

:07:39. > :07:50.margins. Only one athlete has gone quicker than

:07:51. > :08:01.margins. Only one athlete has gone -- Coulson. A personal best for

:08:02. > :08:09.Hussain. Great start to that classic.

:08:10. > :08:14.Everyone will get an idea of the intensity of the competition. The

:08:15. > :08:19.real calibre of the athletes. It is incredible. You had great

:08:20. > :08:24.champions, Felix Sanchez, Tinsley Olympics of the medallist. I was

:08:25. > :08:31.delighted that Fredericks came through to take that title. It was

:08:32. > :08:34.nip and tuck coming into the home straight. Brilliant race. A personal

:08:35. > :08:40.best for the Swiss athlete after winning the European title. You have

:08:41. > :08:45.two step it up, incredible competition, to come away with a

:08:46. > :08:49.personal best, incredible. There is plenty more to come after that great

:08:50. > :08:56.start. Usain Bolt may be out, but

:08:57. > :09:00.Britain's finest go head to head in the 100 metres, James the sour loop

:09:01. > :09:08.and Adam Gemili facing a world-class field. -- James Dasaolu. There is

:09:09. > :09:14.also a great field in the women's race.

:09:15. > :09:26.Martyn Rooney faces the world champion. Some magnificent

:09:27. > :09:36.long-distance races, especially in 1800 metres. The women's 1500

:09:37. > :09:40.metres, including Jennifer Simpson, in a fully loaded field.

:09:41. > :09:58.Tonight and Brussels are the final two meetings in the Diamond League.

:09:59. > :10:04.16 points tonight, 16 in Brussels, $40,000 up for grabs. Guaranteed

:10:05. > :10:08.selection for next year's World Championships in Beijing. That gives

:10:09. > :10:16.you an idea how intense the competition is. The darling of the

:10:17. > :10:25.Diamond League is the men's 100 metres, we're looking forward to it.

:10:26. > :10:30.James Dasaolu and Adam Gemili. Interesting to see their frame of

:10:31. > :10:35.mind. With those two, they have not raced much this season, when they

:10:36. > :10:41.have, it has been decisive, important, they have won. It is

:10:42. > :10:45.different coming into the Championships, sorry, this meeting

:10:46. > :10:53.tonight. They are tired, they did not raced in Birmingham, they have

:10:54. > :10:57.had time to step it up and mentally prepare. I think James has got his

:10:58. > :11:01.season absolutely right, he was injured early on, people were

:11:02. > :11:06.questioning the management of his body. We saw him running well in the

:11:07. > :11:13.Championships, you can add no criticism? When you recognise you

:11:14. > :11:16.are fragile, you have to pick your competitions, the ones that benefit

:11:17. > :11:22.you. It makes it difficult for selection, but generally he seems to

:11:23. > :11:26.be getting it right. It suits him to take his time, get the right races,

:11:27. > :11:30.come to the Championships where it matters. Adam Gemili got a silver in

:11:31. > :11:37.the Commonwealth, he had a smart season, he could have doubled up at

:11:38. > :11:41.both the Commonwealth and the Europeans, but he has picked his

:11:42. > :11:46.races? He's in it for the long haul, it was a busy year, with his

:11:47. > :11:50.studies. He wanted to focus on each of these events separately. They

:11:51. > :11:57.will be a time when you do see him double up. He is a mining people he

:11:58. > :12:02.is only 20, he has a lot to learn. He does not want to get into that

:12:03. > :12:07.catalogue of injuries. He has managed his body very well so far.

:12:08. > :12:12.Slightly disappointingly, they are one and eight, some interesting

:12:13. > :12:20.athletes in between, Asafa Powell, Tyson Gay. It is so competitive to

:12:21. > :12:25.get into these competitions. The lane draw is not brilliant. MHS suit

:12:26. > :12:33.them, they can focus on their lanes, do well. Just one word, no Usain

:12:34. > :12:38.Bolt, finishing his season, what we make of what he has and has not done

:12:39. > :12:44.this season? What he has not done is the operative word, he made an

:12:45. > :12:48.appearance at the Commonwealth Games. Disappointed for the crowd,

:12:49. > :12:52.they come to see the likes of Usain Bolt to race, this is what the

:12:53. > :12:57.Diamond League is supposed to be about. Maybe he is right, he wants

:12:58. > :13:03.to focus on world and Olympic Championships. Giving his body

:13:04. > :13:06.arrest. The 100 metres is at 8:45 p.m.. Let's focus on the women's

:13:07. > :13:23.3000 metres steeplechase. The European silver-medallist had a

:13:24. > :13:28.superb European Championships. Nearest the camera, just 17 years

:13:29. > :13:34.old, taking gold at the world Junior Championships. There is hardly a

:13:35. > :13:41.race this year, she has been very meagrely spread on the competitive

:13:42. > :13:47.circuit. In the centre of the picture, she can win this Diamond

:13:48. > :13:52.League. Cockburn has a small chance, she needs the leader to

:13:53. > :13:59.finish third or worse. She had a chat on the bus, with us, happy with

:14:00. > :14:05.the way her running is going. Away they go for this women's 3000 metres

:14:06. > :14:16.steeplechase. The pace will be very quick, the pacemakers will go out in

:14:17. > :14:23.the first kilometre in 3.04. Looking to take the second in 6.06. They are

:14:24. > :14:28.looking for 9.10, which would be the fastest winning time in the year. It

:14:29. > :14:31.is a strong field. The African champion, the European

:14:32. > :14:43.silver-medallist, the world junior champion. In third place, there is a

:14:44. > :14:50.gap opening up. They are letting the gap grow. They need to hang onto

:14:51. > :14:54.them. To see if they can build a big lead.

:14:55. > :15:16.STUART STOREY: That surprised everyone. You are right,

:15:17. > :15:19.STUART STOREY: That surprised Garcia and Aisha Praught are her

:15:20. > :15:28.friends. All of a sudden, Coburn is looking as though she is in no man's

:15:29. > :15:33.territory. The rest are down by 30 metres. Coburn loves to go out,

:15:34. > :15:37.loves to run hard. At the beginning of the season, she was her own

:15:38. > :15:44.pacemaker. She is also her own agent! She is very bright, a very

:15:45. > :15:51.astute young woman, and is going so strongly.

:15:52. > :15:57.TIM HUTCHINGS: She has a gap of 25 metres on Assefa. Yes, she leads the

:15:58. > :16:00.chase. Coburn, keeping a few metres between herself and Garcia, the

:16:01. > :16:05.second pacemaker. She wants to get a good sight of these barriers. I hope

:16:06. > :16:10.she doesn't become too detached. She is about five metres down. On the

:16:11. > :16:17.bus coming into the stadium, she was munching away on a banana sandwich.

:16:18. > :16:24.She said, "The reason I have this, wherever I go in the world, I can

:16:25. > :16:29.get bread and banana." There is a powerful degree of logic to that.

:16:30. > :16:33.Good for her. Yeah. The pack doesn't seem to have recognised the danger.

:16:34. > :16:37.There is no pacemaker at the front of that pack. I think they

:16:38. > :16:43.There is no pacemaker at the front reluctant to take on the pace, all

:16:44. > :16:48.of them, and the gap to Coburn has probably grown to 30 metres now.

:16:49. > :16:52.Yeah, I was talking to her and she lives at 9,000 metres. She lives at

:16:53. > :16:59.high altitude. Obviously, she enjoys that situation. She has been based

:17:00. > :17:05.in Switzerland, at a mountain resort, and has the US

:17:06. > :17:08.in Switzerland, at a mountain runner Jenny Simpson living with her

:17:09. > :17:13.and training with her, so that is pretty tough. The Africans know that

:17:14. > :17:16.this, as you mentioned earlier, Tim, Shanghai, she went out on her own

:17:17. > :17:21.and they couldn't catch her. She is good enough to hold on to this,

:17:22. > :17:25.although the rest are really starting to realise that there is a

:17:26. > :17:30.problem and they have got to start catching. The first pacemaker,

:17:31. > :17:42.Praught, has dropped back and the chase is on. Looking at the gap, it

:17:43. > :17:46.is being closed down. I think it is the World Junior Champion Jebet who

:17:47. > :17:50.has kicked away from the pack. Coburn is some 25 metres ahead of

:17:51. > :17:56.her, 35 metres ahead Coburn is some 25 metres ahead of

:17:57. > :17:59.and Garcia is the athlete dragging Coburn around there. Garcia moving

:18:00. > :18:02.wide. They have four laps to Coburn around there. Garcia moving

:18:03. > :18:04.there is a lot of time Coburn around there. Garcia moving

:18:05. > :18:06.stay at the front. Let's Coburn around there. Garcia moving

:18:07. > :18:09.running under control here Coburn around there. Garcia moving

:18:10. > :18:11.athletes behind will have to make up a lot of ground on her and

:18:12. > :18:14.athletes behind will have to make up take a lot of effort. She

:18:15. > :18:28.athletes behind will have to make up something left. I hope so. They are

:18:29. > :18:32.catching, there is no doubt about that. And Ayalew is in second place.

:18:33. > :18:36.catching, there is no doubt about If Coburn could win this, she would

:18:37. > :18:41.win the Diamond. It's a three-athlete race, but they are

:18:42. > :18:48.catching, Tim. It will be a race - they are catching her, they are well

:18:49. > :18:54.spread down the back straight. They are catching. Two-and-a-half laps to

:18:55. > :19:00.run for Emma Coburn. The gap has closed. There is Jebet, who is in

:19:01. > :19:05.second place in the race. She looks third there, but Garcia, the

:19:06. > :19:10.pacemaker will drop out. Jebet and Ayalew have gone with the youngster.

:19:11. > :19:18.If you are a Coburn fan, you can only hope that this big mid-race

:19:19. > :19:22.effort will have taken its toll for the Kenyan. Ayalew looks very

:19:23. > :19:30.comfortable. Coburn looks smooth. She's improved her personal best at

:19:31. > :19:35.1500 metres this year, down to 4:07. Can she kick away from this? Emma

:19:36. > :19:44.Coburn is moving very well. She went through one kilometre with the

:19:45. > :19:49.pacemakers in 3: 01. She has three laps to run and they are up against

:19:50. > :19:52.her. Coburn, with Jebet moving past her and Ayalew closing down as well.

:19:53. > :19:59.We have a race on. Yeah, we have. That was a good response, though,

:20:00. > :20:03.from the American. She saw the youngster come alongside, the

:20:04. > :20:09.17-year-old. She responds again. And stays hard in there. She is a real

:20:10. > :20:12.competitor, but the danger is Hiwot Ayalew, the leader on the Diamond

:20:13. > :20:17.race. She is in third place at the moment. Really looking very

:20:18. > :20:23.comfortable indeed. We know she has a good finish as well. The first

:20:24. > :20:42.kilometre was 3:01. The second kilometre was 3: 05. Coburn now back

:20:43. > :20:51.in the lead. There is Assefa. Ghribi with Assefa, but Coburn comes to two

:20:52. > :20:58.laps to go. Jebet is alongside her. Ayalew in third place. Coburn is

:20:59. > :21:05.going to have to dig very deep now. She lives in Colorado about 5,500

:21:06. > :21:13.feet, her home town is 9,000 feet. Under the tutelage of the combined

:21:14. > :21:18.coaching force of Mark and Heather, she has become a superb athlete this

:21:19. > :21:24.year. She is holding her form very well indeed. What can she do here? A

:21:25. > :21:28.lap-and-a-half to run. Behind Coburn is Jebet, then Ayalew, who looks

:21:29. > :21:39.rather ominously calm with that long stride of hers. There's another part

:21:40. > :21:44.of the equation coming into play and that is Assefa, the Olympic and

:21:45. > :21:52.World bronze medal is, she is in fourth place, and that looks like

:21:53. > :21:57.Ghribi. There is Assefa and look at Ghribi, look at this, there is a

:21:58. > :22:02.real charge on here. Coburn, then, suffering now, Ghribi has charged

:22:03. > :22:08.all the way through. One lap to go in the Women's 3000m Steeplechase

:22:09. > :22:12.Final. Ghribi from Ayalew, from Ayalew, then Jebet, and at the back

:22:13. > :22:23.of this quartet is Sofia Assefa. It is single file with over 300 metres

:22:24. > :22:30.to run. Ghribi, who has hardly raced this year, she ran into form in

:22:31. > :22:34.Stockholm when she was second. She is pushing very hard down the back

:22:35. > :22:39.straight. She has the gaps there and Ayalew might well be beaten here,

:22:40. > :22:43.second place will give her the Diamond League win, Coburn is

:22:44. > :22:48.suffering in fifth place, as Assefa moves third. Ghribi approaching the

:22:49. > :22:51.water jump. She has this one won, surely, because that gap back to

:22:52. > :22:55.Ayalew, who has had a wonderful second half to the season with those

:22:56. > :22:59.big wins in Paris, Glasgow and Stockholm, is going to be well

:23:00. > :23:06.beaten on this occasion. It will be a useful time as well. Ghribi clears

:23:07. > :23:11.that one well. Habiba Ghribi of Tunisia, striding away, and Ayalew

:23:12. > :23:20.beginning to slow as Assefa closes on her. 9:15.23

:23:21. > :23:24.beginning to slow as Assefa closes Ghribi. Coburn in 9:24. It didn't

:23:25. > :23:27.quite go right for Coburn tonight, that first kilometre was just a

:23:28. > :23:32.little too ambitious as the rest of the field come through to cross the

:23:33. > :23:45.line in 9: 35. Ghribi, though, is fresh. She comes

:23:46. > :23:50.here beginning to pick up momentum in her racing season when all the

:23:51. > :23:55.others have been at it long and hard.

:23:56. > :24:02.I must say that when we looked at Emma Coburn, it was reported in the

:24:03. > :24:06.meeting this morning that she had a sore throat and had a bit of a cold

:24:07. > :24:11.and when we spoke to her, she said, "We will see how it goes." She ran

:24:12. > :24:16.out a bit of steam. The stadium record has gone, as we predicted. It

:24:17. > :24:21.wasn't a particularly good one at 9:24.97. That's gone. All of a

:24:22. > :24:27.sudden, the Tunisian came through very, very strongly and that was the

:24:28. > :24:35.time at which the rest knew they were in trouble. And so the result

:24:36. > :24:39.absolutely clear with Ghribi of Tunisia, silver medallist in the

:24:40. > :24:44.World Championships in 2011, and London of course in 2012, we must

:24:45. > :24:51.not forget that. Ayalew, the Diamond race winner is confirmed. $40,000

:24:52. > :24:58.for the Ethiopian. Ghribi, wrapped in that Swiss flag.

:24:59. > :25:03.JONATHAN EDWARDS: Another gutsy run from Emma Coburn. She's taken it to

:25:04. > :25:09.the African runners, hasn't she, all through this season?

:25:10. > :25:17.DENISE LEWIS: I think so. She is not frightened to front-run. As you

:25:18. > :25:22.heard, she's not feeling 100%. A little bit of resurgence in American

:25:23. > :25:27.distance running, Galen Rupp we will see later on. That's good to see? I

:25:28. > :25:33.think everyone is trying to work out how you break that stranglehold on

:25:34. > :25:37.the African Nations. They have been so dominant for so many years. It is

:25:38. > :25:41.trying to beat them at their own game, changing up your training and

:25:42. > :25:48.making sure that you are working hard and, again, being fearless on

:25:49. > :26:01.the track. The next on the track is the Men's 200m Final. Before we came

:26:02. > :26:16.on air, we saw the Men's 100m B Race. Denise, no Championships for

:26:17. > :26:21.Ujah this year, despite that time, but that was a good win? He needed

:26:22. > :26:28.that. He was like, "Yes, I have done it!" From that fantastic opener, the

:26:29. > :26:32.9.96, he probably thought he had booked his ticket on the plane. He

:26:33. > :26:39.is still young. There was pressure at the trials. Everybody was looking

:26:40. > :26:43.at him saying he had ran sub-10. He tightened up a bit? There had been

:26:44. > :26:46.media focus on him and it took him out of his groove. But he will learn

:26:47. > :26:50.from that and he will understand that pressure is one thing, but you

:26:51. > :26:57.have to deliver when it counts. One athlete who didn't tighten up here

:26:58. > :27:03.was Dafne Schippers, a heptathlete. You must be in awe of what she has

:27:04. > :27:13.achieved? She has just proven a lot of people wrong, going from an

:27:14. > :27:17.obscure heptathlete - her sprinting has been on a different level this

:27:18. > :27:23.year. You said it there, she got a bronze after a gutsy 800m and here

:27:24. > :27:29.she is doubling up with incredible times? She has announced herself as

:27:30. > :27:34.one of the leading sprinters this season. What she will have to do now

:27:35. > :27:42.is whether she will want to continue to do heptathlon. That is the

:27:43. > :27:46.biggest question. I no -- I know she has a heptathlete's heart, but when

:27:47. > :27:50.you look at the performances, it is a no-brainer. You can't see her

:27:51. > :27:55.going back. To see her go head-to-head with some of the

:27:56. > :27:59.Americans... She loves heptathlon, but it is whether she

:28:00. > :28:14.Americans... She loves heptathlon, pursue it. Let's get out to the high

:28:15. > :28:23.TIM HUTCHINGS: Dear oh dear. I don't want to jinx Blanka Vlasic. That

:28:24. > :28:27.looked very flat, want to jinx Blanka Vlasic. That

:28:28. > :28:30.STUART STOREY: There is want to jinx Blanka Vlasic. That

:28:31. > :29:09.for the Alonso Edward was second in

:29:10. > :29:16.Birmingham. He has a 19.84 to his credit this season. Nickel Ashmeade,

:29:17. > :29:20.won the Birmingham race. Christophe Lemaitre had to settle for a silver

:29:21. > :29:27.medal in the European Championships this time. And also in the 200m.

:29:28. > :29:37.Rasheed Dwyer, the Commonwealth Games champion. And Curtis Mitchell

:29:38. > :29:41.of the United States, World bronze medallist at 200m last year in

:29:42. > :29:47.Moscow. And then Smelyk of the Ukraine. He's drawn in the second

:29:48. > :29:53.lane. He has a best of 20.30 this season. He was the bronze medallist

:29:54. > :30:01.in the European Championship. James Ellington, he is back in

:30:02. > :30:07.in the European Championship. James relay A team. This is a tough race.

:30:08. > :30:36.A big crowd here in the Letzigrund Stadium.

:30:37. > :30:46.APPLAUSE. The field events are proving to be

:30:47. > :30:51.very popular, we just saw a very big throw in the javelin. I am not

:30:52. > :30:57.surprised the athletes stood up, the crowd were very, very noisy. One may

:30:58. > :31:01.understand that. A very long javelin throw. The green card indicates it

:31:02. > :31:45.is no one's fault. Pretty even as they go round the

:31:46. > :31:52.bend, nobody making great headway. Nickel Ashmeade going quite

:31:53. > :31:57.strongly. Right on the outside, Edward going well. Look at this

:31:58. > :32:01.between Edward and Nickel Ashmeade. Edward going to get it coming Nickel

:32:02. > :32:12.Ashmeade in second place, I think it is Curtis Mitchell in third. 19.95,

:32:13. > :32:17.what a good race. Some real crackers, on previous occasions, but

:32:18. > :32:28.this is auric, the mini Olympics. Absolutely superb race. The Diamond

:32:29. > :32:33.goes to Nickel Ashmeade, leading with 14 points with Edward on 11. It

:32:34. > :32:49.was a great race, the Christopher Nolan Christophe Lemaitre is not the

:32:50. > :32:57.same athlete he was a few years ago. Dwyer was going well at this stage.

:32:58. > :33:03.What happened to him? Alonzo was under real pressure, Nickel Ashmeade

:33:04. > :33:13.leading very early, Alonso Edward winning very comfortable in the end.

:33:14. > :33:17.19.95. That is a Diamond League win by one point. No wonder he was so

:33:18. > :33:24.desperate to get there. Nickel Ashmeade on the inside line. It was

:33:25. > :33:44.to wire in third ahead of Curtis Mitchell. -- it was to Rasheed Dwyer

:33:45. > :33:54.that third place goes. Great run by Alonso Edward. Remember

:33:55. > :34:01.Adam Gemili, 19.95, he would have won that one. We all like an

:34:02. > :34:06.anniversary, I will not give away Denise's age, ten years ago was the

:34:07. > :34:13.anniversary of the very special women's 1500 metres.

:34:14. > :34:23.Kelly Holmes, bringing it home for Britain, can she get there? Come

:34:24. > :34:31.on, Kelly! Kelly Holmes has won gold for Britain. Going for two gold

:34:32. > :34:37.medals, Kelly Holmes wins the 1500 metres title, what a performance.

:34:38. > :34:48.You are the double Olympic champion, Kelly Holmes. I got to be injury

:34:49. > :34:54.free, I decided to double up, that was my biggest risk out of

:34:55. > :34:59.everything, apart from injury. Here we are at the bell, are you not a

:35:00. > :35:04.little far behind? That is scary. Coming down the back straight, she

:35:05. > :35:10.barges me, she's going around the Russians. That was a blessing in

:35:11. > :35:20.disguise, in the other races I would go over it, running out of legs,

:35:21. > :35:30.that made me check. Come on Kelly! Come on, Kelly Holmes, she has won

:35:31. > :35:34.the gold for Great Britain. That is me checking the screen, I know I

:35:35. > :35:40.came across the line first, but how have I won the 800 metres? Yes, you

:35:41. > :35:45.have won the gold medal, Kelly Holmes is the Olympic champion. When

:35:46. > :36:02.I came back, I thought, I have a few more races to go, everyone was

:36:03. > :36:07.watching, like Sebastian Coe. I never thought I was going to win it.

:36:08. > :36:11.I just thought I was relaxed, in the best shape I've ever been in, very

:36:12. > :36:16.focused. I need to go out there and run the best race I can, not let

:36:17. > :36:20.myself down like I have before, that was the only thing I was thinking.

:36:21. > :36:24.You are not going for the double? Negative, who was thinking about

:36:25. > :36:31.going to the double? Ridiculous. Kelly Holmes going for another

:36:32. > :36:38.medal, apostolic second gold, Kelly Holmes wins the 1500 metres title.

:36:39. > :36:47.You can see from that place. Your favourite place in the world,

:36:48. > :36:56.Athens? It is now. Kelly, with Brendan Foster. It was amazing. You

:36:57. > :37:03.were almost lost for words, ten years on. I still get goose bumps,

:37:04. > :37:09.or watching that race, the 800 metres, the look on her face, the

:37:10. > :37:13.sheer disbelief, and the elation. I have watched Kelly over the years,

:37:14. > :37:19.how she battled injuries, to come away with two golds, amazing. She

:37:20. > :37:23.did not think she was going to win the 1500 metres, but when she was

:37:24. > :37:29.joking around, there was nobody doubting it. She was relaxed,

:37:30. > :38:07.mentally ready. Making the most of the opportunity. You are in the

:38:08. > :38:13.shape of your life, no excuses. Now the women's 1500 metres, promising

:38:14. > :38:14.to be very good. mentally ready. Making the most of

:38:15. > :38:15.the opportunity. You are in Perhaps the athlete in form, you took about

:38:16. > :38:16.American distance runners, Jennifer Simpson. She has had a great season,

:38:17. > :38:17.the other girl will be Sifan Hassan, she's in great form. The

:38:18. > :38:18.leader in the Diamond, promises to be a race. Back to Stuart.

:38:19. > :38:19.Jennifer Simpson, to the right of the picture, she will be keen to go

:38:20. > :38:21.with the pacemakers. Irene Jelagat will take over from Phoebe Wright,

:38:22. > :38:30.trying to take them there. Away they go. Just how quick will it be? Lets

:38:31. > :38:37.hope that Simpson does not overcook things. She is in the orange shorts.

:38:38. > :38:39.She ran supremely to win in Stockholm, a fabulous run,

:38:40. > :38:45.maintaining her tempo, Stockholm, a fabulous run,

:38:46. > :38:55.withered away. Coming home to pass the all big race Daly names. Simpson

:38:56. > :39:02.slotting into third. -- all the big names. Sifan Hassan, a little way

:39:03. > :39:05.back, she's very quick. Phoebe names. Sifan Hassan, a little way

:39:06. > :39:14.and a half. It was going to names. Sifan Hassan, a little way

:39:15. > :39:28.Jennifer Simpson asking for a fast pace. She's looking for Mary

:39:29. > :39:29.Sweeney's record, she's only one tenth outside that in her best for

:39:30. > :39:56.season. Jenny Simpson really means business. A bed are Gabi -- Abed are

:39:57. > :40:02.-- Aregawi not in great form. We must not forget that Sifan Hassan

:40:03. > :40:10.has been a very good judge of pace this season. Meraf Bahta was the

:40:11. > :40:19.European 5,000-metre champion for Sweden. Phoebe Wright dropping out,

:40:20. > :40:31.her job done. Irene Jelagat leading. They are paying very close attention

:40:32. > :40:41.to Simpson. Tim 1-macro in third. Shannon Rowbury looking good. --

:40:42. > :41:06.Aregawi in third. This next 300 metres for Irene Jelagat is critical

:41:07. > :41:15.for Simpson. You saw the move of Sifan Hassan, moving strongly into

:41:16. > :41:18.contention. There she is now in third place, right behind Simpson,

:41:19. > :41:20.just ahead of Shannon Rowbury. It is going to be a

:41:21. > :41:21.just ahead of Shannon Rowbury. It is -- Emma Cockburn has been training

:41:22. > :41:25.with Jennifer Simpson, saying that her sessions have been getting

:41:26. > :41:29.better and better. Simpson in the lead as they crossed the Bell. Ahead

:41:30. > :41:35.of Sifan Hassan. In third place Shannon Rowbury. Aregawi going

:41:36. > :41:47.backwards, another disappointing run for her. Simpson with 300 metres to

:41:48. > :41:58.run. 64 .26, that split is critical, dragging the kick away from the big

:41:59. > :42:06.kickers. As they head towards 200 metres, Jenny Simpson has this

:42:07. > :42:10.lovely rhythm that cannot be denied through the last 300 metres. Shannon

:42:11. > :42:11.Rowbury is suffering. They come around the bend with 152 run. It is

:42:12. > :42:14.Jess Sifan Hassan who is threatening. -- it is just Sifan

:42:15. > :42:24.Hassan. I've hardly mentioned Martinez, coming through. Simpson is

:42:25. > :42:35.hanging on, Will Roebuck reject their -- will Shannon Rowbury get

:42:36. > :42:42.her? Oh, my word, they both staggered, crashing at the end, what

:42:43. > :42:52.commitment. She was copying her team-mate. The best of the Africans

:42:53. > :42:56.behind the two Americans. A great time, but maybe it was a bit

:42:57. > :43:02.optimistic. The time, sub four, still special. Not quite as quick as

:43:03. > :43:10.she wanted. What a good race as she wanted. What a good racer she is,

:43:11. > :43:27.what a racing brain she has. Shannon Rowbury in 3.59, 53. What a race it

:43:28. > :43:36.was, indeed. The pace was absolutely right. Perhaps a little bit quick

:43:37. > :43:42.early on. In the end, Jenny Simpson, what a racer she is, I'm so

:43:43. > :43:48.impressed with her. She has a little glance that Sifan Hassan. I am not

:43:49. > :43:55.sure she knew Shannon Rowbury was coming. She stuck to her line,

:43:56. > :44:03.diving, she needed to. She must have caught a glimpse of Shannon Rowbury

:44:04. > :44:07.to her left. Diving at the line, she realises she needs to dive as well,

:44:08. > :44:20.reacting too late. By my reckoning, that gives Jenny Simpson the Diamond

:44:21. > :44:27.League. That gives their 17 points. Aregawi getting no points. Sifan

:44:28. > :44:37.Hassan only gets four points. -- that gives her 17 points. That is a

:44:38. > :44:46.wonderful climax to a superb season for the American.

:44:47. > :44:53.Talk about the definition of commitment in that race! The two

:44:54. > :45:01.Americans write down the home straight. I know, there didn't seem

:45:02. > :45:03.to be much room for Shannon Rowbury, but I have to say,

:45:04. > :45:04.delighted Ford Jenny Simpson -- delighted for Jenny Simpson,

:45:05. > :45:07.secretly she is running for that American record, great work to get

:45:08. > :45:10.the double points, Diamond League winner. Remember the 200 metres,

:45:11. > :45:13.they were held at the start, a big cheer in the men's javelin. We can

:45:14. > :45:29.catch up with what happened. STUART STOREY: That is big. That has

:45:30. > :45:38.to be around 87. What way to start your competition. They say Thomas

:45:39. > :45:42.Rohler throws better in the rain - there is none here tonight - and

:45:43. > :45:46.that was more than good. How do you become 12th in the European

:45:47. > :45:56.Championships when you can throw like that? That is what competition

:45:57. > :46:08.is all about. Personal best, 87.63m. TIM HUTCHINGS: Benjamin Compaore

:46:09. > :46:13.this is his second round effort. A massive final effort! The middle

:46:14. > :46:23.effort was big, too! That is superb from Compaore. Boy oh boy is it a

:46:24. > :46:30.big one! The power you need to bound and maintain that momentum. He is

:46:31. > :46:35.not a fluid triple jumper like Jonathan Edwards, he is raw power.

:46:36. > :46:55.17.45 m. JONATHAN EDWARDS: We will focus on

:46:56. > :46:59.the Men's 400m Final now. COMMENTARY: It is going to be close

:47:00. > :47:14.on the line. Rooney gets the gold! Merritt gets away very quickly! It's

:47:15. > :47:17.all about LaShawn Merritt. Merritt is going to take it. What a

:47:18. > :47:29.performance from Merritt. Supreme. JONATHAN EDWARDS: You would think

:47:30. > :47:33.Martyn Rooney would have taken huge confidence from that performance

:47:34. > :47:39.here a couple of weeks ago? Absolutely. He will relish being

:47:40. > :47:42.back in this environment again, from being hurt, injured, not finding his

:47:43. > :47:47.form, but he has done that this season. He's looking good and he is

:47:48. > :47:51.confident, which means everything. He's got LaShawn Merritt outside

:47:52. > :47:57.him, which is probably quite a good lane draw? It is a good lane draw.

:47:58. > :48:02.LaShawn Merritt can't be beaten for the Diamond League here, but for

:48:03. > :48:06.Martyn Rooney, it is about executing his race the way he wants to. He has

:48:07. > :48:11.got very tired legs. It has been a big season for him. Not many of the

:48:12. > :48:15.British athletes have targeted the Diamond League race, have they? They

:48:16. > :48:18.have built up for the Commonwealth Games and the European

:48:19. > :48:19.Championships. This is about him measuring himself against the best

:48:20. > :48:26.in the world? Very much so. Happy measuring himself against the best

:48:27. > :48:39.memories for Martyn Rooney. The Men's 400m Final.

:48:40. > :48:52.STUART STOREY: Chris Brown of the Bahamas, 44.59 this season. Gil

:48:53. > :48:56.Roberts, another American, 44.53 this season. This track is

:48:57. > :49:00.absolutely superb, big, this season. This track is

:49:01. > :49:10.bends. It will allow them to get up some speed. So, Santos, Masrahi,

:49:11. > :49:19.Rooney, some speed. So, Santos, Masrahi,

:49:20. > :49:44.Niekerk, and Roberts, the Men's 400m Final.

:49:45. > :49:53.On the outside Gil Roberts has gone off quickly, he is the hare and he

:49:54. > :49:56.is chased by Chris Brown, outside Merritt Makwala has gone off

:49:57. > :50:00.quickly, he is probably leading, as Gil Roberts is still going strongly

:50:01. > :50:06.and LaShawn Merritt beginning to make some headway as he approaches

:50:07. > :50:08.200m, but Gil Roberts has set them a task now, they

:50:09. > :50:13.200m, but Gil Roberts has set them a down as he comes into the straight.

:50:14. > :50:17.Makwala is in second place. And van Niekerk has a little bit to do here,

:50:18. > :50:21.but here comes the big man, LaShawn Merritt, putting the pressure on Gil

:50:22. > :50:24.Roberts on the near side, a great run indeed by the big man, LaShawn

:50:25. > :50:33.Merritt of the United States wins it. In second place was Gil Roberts

:50:34. > :50:38.of the United States, who ran very well, 44.36. That was the winning

:50:39. > :50:41.time for LaShawn Merritt. He had already won the Diamond. That was a

:50:42. > :50:49.fine run by Gil Roberts on the outside. He was second in Monaco. He

:50:50. > :50:54.is second here now. The race went pretty much to the script, really.

:50:55. > :51:01.Makwala got the third place. He was going well off the bend at 45.03 and

:51:02. > :51:07.Martyn Rooney, 45.10, got himself into fourth place. Rooney not in the

:51:08. > :51:12.race at 200m, which left him a lot to do. Certainly, LaShawn Merritt

:51:13. > :51:16.and Gil Roberts having a real battle here and Isaac Makwala coming

:51:17. > :51:22.through into third place. A good race. Rooney closing down, but he

:51:23. > :51:27.left it far too late. Not quite getting into that race. He ran 44.71

:51:28. > :51:34.in the Championships and really needed that here.

:51:35. > :51:37.TIM HUTCHINGS: He was totally dominant. Apart from Martyn Rooney,

:51:38. > :51:42.you are dead right. The Briton should have committed a bit more

:51:43. > :51:46.over the first 300m. He said it was a mistake he made at the

:51:47. > :51:49.Commonwealth Games. Tonight, he finished with a bit in hand and he

:51:50. > :52:04.will be ruing not making the rostrum. There is the result:

:52:05. > :52:10.Martyn Rooney is here. You looked like you timed that pretty well,

:52:11. > :52:16.coming through strongly at the end? No. Rubbish! It was an opportunity

:52:17. > :52:22.to run fast today. LaShawn Merritt was in the lane outside. You don't

:52:23. > :52:27.get lane freeze very often. I felt like I needed a PB. It was in my

:52:28. > :52:31.legs, but it didn't happen today. Two Championships, a lot of

:52:32. > :52:35.emotional, psychological energy and physical energy expended, you are

:52:36. > :52:43.asking a bit too much of to do that? Not really. We train very hard.

:52:44. > :52:47.These opportunities don't come around when you are in good shape

:52:48. > :52:51.and you are healthy for a long time. As an athlete, you know you get

:52:52. > :52:56.injuries all the time. When you are healthy, you have to take advantage.

:52:57. > :53:02.Would you say the first 200m is where you weren't in contention?

:53:03. > :53:06.Yeah. The first 200m, I looked up and Merritt was gone. Don't panic,

:53:07. > :53:15.don't chase him, and just go round the bend. When you leave - LaShawn

:53:16. > :53:18.Merritt is a World Champion for a good reason. It is a shame I

:53:19. > :53:21.couldn't get closer to him. You got your career back on track this year.

:53:22. > :53:27.It has been outstanding. You must be very proud of that? It is a good

:53:28. > :53:33.start. I have two big years to come. The work we have done, training with

:53:34. > :53:37.Olympic Champions and World Champions, my attitude has changed

:53:38. > :53:42.and my performances have improved with it. Next year, I will try and

:53:43. > :53:47.get closer to them. Nice job. Thank you for speaking to us. Well done.

:53:48. > :53:50.That was me told! Certainly. He expects more. That is what I love

:53:51. > :53:55.about him. Now that he is healthy and fit, he knows that running 45

:53:56. > :54:00.seconds isn't going to cut it on the world stage. So he knows he's got to

:54:01. > :54:04.be a little bit more aggressive in that first 200m. He has had a great

:54:05. > :54:12.season. He has. There is a lot more to come. Next up on track one of the

:54:13. > :54:34.real highlights this evening, the Women's 100m Final.

:54:35. > :55:01.It will be some final. We have Allyson Felix, Dafne Schippers,

:55:02. > :55:05.Veronica Campbell-Brown, and Ashleigh Nelson. A tough race for

:55:06. > :55:09.her? It is a tough race. But, again, if she wants to be in this calibre

:55:10. > :55:15.of race, she has to perform. She has to raise her game. She is fit, she

:55:16. > :55:22.is healthy. She will relish being at the Weltklasse, Diamond League.

:55:23. > :55:27.Again, we want to see a very competent performance. Tired legs,

:55:28. > :55:30.but it is within her. She came into the studio at the European

:55:31. > :55:34.Championships, spoke very eloquently. We saw in that Martyn

:55:35. > :55:39.Rooney interview, there is a sense of growing belief within the British

:55:40. > :55:47.team? Yes, she has been a very consistent athlete this year. Being

:55:48. > :55:51.able to get the European bronze medal, which she so desperately

:55:52. > :55:56.wanted, that solidified in her mind that when she is in shape she can do

:55:57. > :55:59.things. These races don't come around very often. The competition

:56:00. > :56:06.between the British female sprinters now is as good as it has ever been?

:56:07. > :56:09.It really is. They all want to be, not just Britain's best, but they

:56:10. > :56:14.want to dominate and they want to take, maybe get into finals and

:56:15. > :56:18.start to dream about taking medals. That competitiveness breeds much

:56:19. > :56:23.more success and better times. Let's look at the start list now for this

:56:24. > :56:27.Women's 100m Final. The big names are in the middle. It must be

:56:28. > :56:31.fascinating to see how Schippers goes against the best in the world?

:56:32. > :56:36.She has been electrifying to watch this season. She is a bit weak in

:56:37. > :56:40.her start. Again, the stadium has erupted. She's a little bit weak in

:56:41. > :56:47.her start. She needs to be able to start if she is to compete with the

:56:48. > :57:02.ladies in the field. For now, the Women's 100m Final.

:57:03. > :57:13.STUART STOREY: Myriam Soumare has the inside lane. Next to her is

:57:14. > :57:19.Allyson Felix. Felix, three Olympic the inside lane. Next to her is

:57:20. > :57:25.golds from London, eight World Championship golds outdoors. Then

:57:26. > :57:32.you have got Kerron Stewart. Only a win will guarantee her the Diamond.

:57:33. > :57:39.Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica, seven medals across four Olympic

:57:40. > :57:43.golds. Second in the Commonwealth Games 100m. Blessing Okagbare, the

:57:44. > :57:55.new Commonwealth Games champion at both sprints. Looked very strong

:57:56. > :58:01.indeed. She's got lane five. Next to Murielle Ahoure. Now, what about

:58:02. > :58:09.Dafne Schippers? What a fantastic European Championships, won the 100m

:58:10. > :58:20.in 11.03. The 200m was far more impressive at 22.03. This is

:58:21. > :58:24.Kambundji. Listen for the cheer in a moment for her.

:58:25. > :58:34.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The Swiss record holder. Then

:58:35. > :58:39.Ashleigh Nelson of Great Britain. Was fourth in Birmingham with a best

:58:40. > :58:52.of 11.19. Bronze medallist in the European Championships. So, Soumare,

:58:53. > :58:54.Felix, Stewart, Campbell-Brown, Okagbare, Ahoure, Schippers, Nelson,

:58:55. > :59:33.the Women's 100m Final. Someone's moved early. Who's that?

:59:34. > :59:36.Kerron Stewart made it furthest down the track. I hope there

:59:37. > :59:41.Kerron Stewart made it furthest down to see this race. It was not obvious

:59:42. > :59:45.to me at all. Now, then, are we going to get the green card? I can't

:59:46. > :59:49.tell from that. There doesn't seem to be anyone leaving early. We

:59:50. > :59:53.tell from that. There doesn't seem soon get that. Let's have a look

:59:54. > :00:01.from this. TIM HUTCHINGS: I don't think that

:00:02. > :00:06.was a false start, nothing obvious. It's Soumare who gets the red card.

:00:07. > :00:10.The French woman from lane one, that was not obvious to me. The irony of

:00:11. > :00:13.that is during the European Championships, everybody regarded

:00:14. > :00:19.the officials being very lenient when there were several blatant

:00:20. > :00:24.false starts, but we didn't spot that one. Let me take you through

:00:25. > :00:30.the line-up again. Allyson Felix, Kerron Stewart, Veronica

:00:31. > :00:35.Campbell-Brown, Blessing Okagbare, Murielle Ahoure, Dafne Schippers,

:00:36. > :01:09.Mujinga Kambundji, Ashleigh Nelson. No problem that time. Murielle

:01:10. > :01:11.Ahoure got a good start, so did Veronica Campbell-Brown,

:01:12. > :01:14.Campbell-Brown and Ahoure going strongly and Schippers has a lot of

:01:15. > :01:17.work to do. That could be Campbell-Brown on the far side. We

:01:18. > :01:19.will have to wait and get the photograph on that one. 11.03. It

:01:20. > :01:52.was very tight, indeed. Campbell-Brown, could be a

:01:53. > :02:21.photograph. , way ahead. Which one of them got it? It is given to

:02:22. > :02:32.Veronica Campbell Brown. That is a good win by Veronica Campbell Brown.

:02:33. > :02:37.She is a tough cookie, when it comes to what matters. It could not have

:02:38. > :02:43.been closer, thank goodness for electronic timing. Ahoure lead for

:02:44. > :03:06.95 metres, by far the best out of the blocks. Daphne Schippers would

:03:07. > :03:17.always find it hard with this kind of feel.

:03:18. > :03:24.A 100 metres that lived up to expectations. Let's start with

:03:25. > :03:27.Daphne. Tough to come here, racing against the best in the world? A

:03:28. > :03:37.very nice track, so happy to come back yet. Pretty happy with my race,

:03:38. > :03:47.for now OK. My start was very bad. , the last 18 metres was OK. If there

:03:48. > :03:57.had been 120 metres, you would have won? I had to ask, as a hacked

:03:58. > :04:07.athlete, what is the future for you? -- as a heptathlete. I will wait and

:04:08. > :04:11.see, I enjoy the sprinting. You will do a hacked Avalon at the start of

:04:12. > :04:17.next year, you will not just be training for the sprinting? I think

:04:18. > :04:25.it is good for my speed, even the shot put. He does not understand.

:04:26. > :04:39.Thank you the speeding to us, shot put and all. You were in the mix in

:04:40. > :04:46.a very competitive race? I looked at the starting line-up, I felt, oh,

:04:47. > :04:52.wow. I embarrass myself, I wanted to go faster, but so does everybody. I

:04:53. > :04:58.feel that I ran better than in Birmingham, I executed my race. The

:04:59. > :05:05.false start was a bit better, but I had a great time, the crowd is

:05:06. > :05:11.absolutely amazing. This environment is what you want, the start was not

:05:12. > :05:18.great. The season, in reflection, you have to be happy? This is my

:05:19. > :05:23.third time in legal race, I am with the big girls! Technically, I have a

:05:24. > :05:27.lot to work on, we break everything down technically, I'm slowly picking

:05:28. > :05:32.things up, but this season I feel like I have cracked onto it.

:05:33. > :05:38.Hopefully I will crack on over the winter, building on the platform I

:05:39. > :05:43.finish this season on, keep going and going. You will watch their

:05:44. > :05:48.race, and be very proud of how you ran, you had a great season. Thank

:05:49. > :05:52.you for speaking to us. That is about halfway through, and great

:05:53. > :06:19.one-hour, the next hour promises to be just as good.

:06:20. > :06:27.I am going to start this next album with the men's 800 metres, one of

:06:28. > :06:32.the great rivalries, David Rudisha up against Nijel Amos. Only one of

:06:33. > :06:38.them can win the Diamond League race. David Rudisha, striding away,

:06:39. > :06:43.to become the Olympic champion, how quick will it be? Watch the clock.

:06:44. > :06:49.That is the world record, unbelievable. I just wanted to have

:06:50. > :06:58.tough guys in the field. It makes us not sleep, whenever we are

:06:59. > :07:06.training, we work extra hard. Somebody, somewhere is also working

:07:07. > :07:09.hard, to see that he will beat you. Can the Olympic champion and world

:07:10. > :07:16.record-holder this? Amos is coming, he has got what it takes. Rudisha in

:07:17. > :07:23.second. He loves David Rudisha, the two of them get on well. I remember

:07:24. > :07:27.my father telling me, can you imagine one day, you were competing

:07:28. > :07:36.by yourself? What position would you get? Without the others, there is no

:07:37. > :07:41.competition. David Rudisha, a gentle giant in the world of athletics. He

:07:42. > :07:46.is incredible as a person, and to watch on the track. Full testament

:07:47. > :07:51.to the man, he has had to battle his way back to fitness, race fitness

:07:52. > :07:56.after being out all of last year. He has acquitted himself very well, he

:07:57. > :08:02.is competitive, he wants to run quick times, that is why we love

:08:03. > :08:06.seeing him in races like this. He has not backed away from the

:08:07. > :08:11.challenge. It would be easy for him as well record holder, Olympic

:08:12. > :08:18.champion, to stand on his laurels. That is my point, he has not shied

:08:19. > :08:22.away from the battle, he knows it is tough, the guys have been gunning

:08:23. > :08:26.for him since the Olympic Games. He says he wants to do with the hard

:08:27. > :08:32.way, but I have loved watching him. You feel it is a matter of time

:08:33. > :08:36.before he's back to his very best. The European champion also there. An

:08:37. > :08:42.outstanding field, the men's 800 metres.

:08:43. > :08:51.Mohammed Aman comedy world champion, world indoor champion a wonderful

:08:52. > :09:00.couple of years, he did not get the medal he wanted at that month and --

:09:01. > :09:06.at the London games. Speaking of consolation, the Frenchman was

:09:07. > :09:47.eighth after leading after 700 metres. As Balquhidder, has not

:09:48. > :09:50.raised David Rudisha -- as Kiprop, this is the first time he has

:09:51. > :09:53.raised David Rudisha -- as Kiprop, David Rudisha for a long time. This

:09:54. > :09:59.is a big field, I would say almost two eight. Andre Olivier, he has got

:10:00. > :10:08.down to 144.4. -- almost it is too two eight. Andre Olivier, he has got

:10:09. > :10:11.big. They will be a big tussle for places after they break lanes. This

:10:12. > :10:15.is David Rudisha's last big test of the season. They are all in there

:10:16. > :10:23.against the season. They are all in there

:10:24. > :10:27.this one? I am not sure if we will see a frontrunning performance, like

:10:28. > :10:30.in London. He has gone off very steadily. They will

:10:31. > :10:34.in London. He has gone off very this one long and hard. He will have

:10:35. > :10:48.discussed it with his coach and brother backing -- back in Kenya.

:10:49. > :10:52.discussed it with his coach and Amos, in the red, finishing like a

:10:53. > :11:00.train to win the Commonwealth title. Mohammed Aman in fifth. Nobody keen

:11:01. > :11:08.to go with him. This is such a strong field. A lot of cat and mouse

:11:09. > :11:15.behaviour. 49.69, the pacemaker just ahead of that. This

:11:16. > :11:17.behaviour. 49.69, the pacemaker just quick. This may be a different

:11:18. > :11:26.Rudisha attempt, right from the back. Kiprop is there with him. Is

:11:27. > :11:35.that Rudisha making his way? Writer that thrust of the race. There is

:11:36. > :11:40.nothing wrong with Rudisha and his speed, we know that from Birmingham.

:11:41. > :11:44.Amos coming around the outside. Rudisha shadowing Amos. Trying to

:11:45. > :11:53.get revenge for the Commonwealth defeat. Olivier running the shortest

:11:54. > :11:59.line. Amos trying to kick away. A fabulous 400 metres in the African

:12:00. > :12:05.championship. Can Rudisha get there? Mohammed amen dipping. I think

:12:06. > :12:16.Rudisha having to settle for third. Mohammed amen dipping. I think

:12:17. > :12:21.-- Mohammed Aman. Very quick indeed. Considering the race was run in a

:12:22. > :12:32.very reluctant manner. That is a fast time. What a wonderful race.

:12:33. > :12:40.Nijel Amos, the wind goes to him, he is so fast. Running a 43.6 relay leg

:12:41. > :12:42.at the African Championships, quicker than anyone else can manage

:12:43. > :12:48.in this field. A quicker than anyone else can manage

:12:49. > :12:51.the one we expected, Rudisha playing it very differently, we saw him

:12:52. > :13:12.running the 600 metres in Birmingham. And iron lace and and

:13:13. > :13:15.just coming through into second. -- Souleiman just coming through into

:13:16. > :13:22.second. The basic speed from Amos was telling. He is the Diamond

:13:23. > :13:27.League winner. More reaction to that 800 metres

:13:28. > :13:31.shortly, now we will catch up with some action from the field, and the

:13:32. > :13:46.final round of the triple jump. 17.24 from will -- Clay. He has one

:13:47. > :13:52.jump to go. This is the third to last jump for Christian Taylor, in

:13:53. > :13:59.third place at the moment, 17 metres 18. A meagre return for his evening.

:14:00. > :14:06.He has had a consistent series, this is his final effort. That is not

:14:07. > :14:24.bad. I think it may be big enough for the win -- I don't think it is

:14:25. > :14:32.big enough for the win. 17.51. He has thrown the court let down. Will

:14:33. > :14:38.the American and the Frenchman respectively respond? That was some

:14:39. > :14:54.jump. Not celebrating yet. This is why. This is Claye's final jump.

:14:55. > :15:05.That is his series. A third round was the best. What can he do? I/O,

:15:06. > :15:11.that is huge! A big jump if he gets the white flag. A very big jump in

:15:12. > :15:19.deed. He really went for that. Look at this, the usable, absolutely

:15:20. > :15:27.superb. What has he got? It is 17.39, it looked further, eat inks

:15:28. > :15:35.it looked further. Wow! -- he thinks. It looked to be way beyond

:15:36. > :15:42.17.50. 17.39 it is. Look at that, the two big men, Christian Taylor

:15:43. > :15:48.winning the Diamond. Claye had 14 points, Christian Taylor had 12.

:15:49. > :15:50.That is 24 Christian Taylor with the wind.

:15:51. > :16:03.STUART STOREY: This man is the leader and the competition winner.

:16:04. > :16:10.This is his final jump. His best jump was 17.45m. He's got to get

:16:11. > :16:14.beyond 17.51m now. He lost it in the end. He went too hard on that. He

:16:15. > :16:21.will stay in second place. He was pushed out of first place on that

:16:22. > :16:27.last jump. Benjamin Compaore, who led right the way, really, with a

:16:28. > :16:33.17.45m in the second round, he has to make do with second place and

:16:34. > :16:37.Will Claye with third place. Christian Taylor, with eight more

:16:38. > :16:42.points, takes the Diamond and all that goes with it.

:16:43. > :16:46.JONATHAN EDWARDS: A good evening's work for the Olympic Champion. We

:16:47. > :16:49.are going to head out to the Women's 100m Hurdles Final. It features

:16:50. > :17:29.Tiffany Porter. STUART STOREY: Sally Pearson gets a

:17:30. > :17:32.good start. Dawn Harper Nelson coming through the middle and Queen

:17:33. > :17:36.Harrison has gone down. If that is the case, she was leading the

:17:37. > :17:46.Diamond race, she has to finish. But, certainly, 12.58 for Nelson and

:17:47. > :17:51.Queen Harrison floored on that occasion. Let's have a look - there

:17:52. > :17:58.she goes. Such a shame that that happens. Really does. Sally Pearson

:17:59. > :18:06.got the second and Tiffany Porter, in the midst of all that, got the

:18:07. > :18:16.third place. 12.58, 12.71, 12.72. That's Dawn Harper Nelson's little

:18:17. > :18:21.celebration. Dramatic 100m race, but David Lekuta

:18:22. > :18:32.Rudisha is alongside Denise and I. Your last race of a tough season?

:18:33. > :18:38.Sure. It has been a tough season. My preparation was not perfect this

:18:39. > :18:43.year, because of the injury I was suffering from last year. I am happy

:18:44. > :18:47.I have ended the season. Looking forward to next year. How hard has

:18:48. > :18:53.it been to race knowing you are not 100% fit and the fans don't see the

:18:54. > :19:01.David Rudisha of world record form? Well, it has been tough. I just want

:19:02. > :19:05.to assure my fans that it is only because I didn't have preparation,

:19:06. > :19:14.like winter preparation, I started my training in March, which is very

:19:15. > :19:16.late. I started the season actually at less than 70%. It is very hard to

:19:17. > :19:21.recover from at less than 70%. It is very hard to

:19:22. > :19:25.good foundation. It's been great to watch you, as always. You are one of

:19:26. > :19:32.the real stars of track and field. Thank you. I hope I start my

:19:33. > :19:35.preparation early before the next season because it is important

:19:36. > :19:36.because of the World Championships. I am looking forward to that. Thank

:19:37. > :20:09.you. Thank you. That Men's 100m Final coming

:20:10. > :20:20.8.45pm. It should be some race. Let's look back at what was an

:20:21. > :20:26.incredible race, the Women's 100m Hurdles. Nelson has been one of the

:20:27. > :20:29.most Hurdles. Nelson has been one of the

:20:30. > :20:34.season. You saw Queen Harrison there.

:20:35. > :20:37.season. You saw Queen Harrison concentration? She hits the deck

:20:38. > :20:38.quite horribly. I hope she hasn't damaged her wrist. She seemed to be

:20:39. > :20:44.in a lot of pain. damaged her wrist. She seemed to be

:20:45. > :20:50.race from Dawn, who, again, at the latter stages always seems to do the

:20:51. > :20:53.business. When we were chatting with Colin Jackson at the European

:20:54. > :20:56.Championships about the hurdles, he talked about not racing and maybe

:20:57. > :21:02.that is what happened with Queen Harrison. Again, Sally Pearson

:21:03. > :21:05.that is what happened with Queen out really well but because of her

:21:06. > :21:08.problems, she's had some problems in the last half of the race, but Queen

:21:09. > :21:11.Harrison, again, maybe as you said, the last half of the race, but Queen

:21:12. > :21:18.got into that racing mode, started to look around a little bit and just

:21:19. > :21:23.hit deck. And Tiffany Porter? We have said it time and time again

:21:24. > :21:30.about the fact that her two Championships, it is not easy. But

:21:31. > :21:34.she's in the mix. 12.72. The good thing for her is, after the

:21:35. > :21:38.disappointment of the Commonwealth Games, where she expected to beat

:21:39. > :21:47.Sally Pearson and didn't, but to come here and beat the French

:21:48. > :21:53.athlete - and she was probably the favourite? She has got into great

:21:54. > :22:18.shape this year. This was probably a hurdle too far! Indeed. Coming up

:22:19. > :22:28.next, the Men's 5000m final. No Mo Farah. You saw a different Mo, a new

:22:29. > :22:32.- the Europeans - he was renewed. He can race well and go into the winter

:22:33. > :22:36.and look confidently at next year. That's right. Looking forward to

:22:37. > :22:40.seeing Mo back to his best after turning this year around really

:22:41. > :22:44.well. He will be watching this at home looking out for his training

:22:45. > :22:56.partner, Galen Rupp, who will be hoping to mix it with the Africans.

:22:57. > :23:02.TIM HUTCHINGS: As we go through this field, Yenew Alamirew is one of the

:23:03. > :23:15.favourites. He needs first or second here to hang on to the Diamond race

:23:16. > :23:23.lead. Ndiku is the African champion. Edwin Cheruiyot Soi, beat Mo Farah

:23:24. > :23:51.last year. He a 12:51 man at his best. Galen Rupp is in very good. --

:23:52. > :23:58.very good form. Edris. He had a fabulous run last. He is young, too.

:23:59. > :24:04.Just 20-years-old. He is quite capable of taking this field, Edwin

:24:05. > :24:15.Cheruiyot Soi. A real test of speed and strength. There are ten

:24:16. > :24:21.sub-13-minute runners in this field. The fastest ten men in the world

:24:22. > :24:27.this year are in this Men's 5000m Final. Alamirew is the strong

:24:28. > :24:33.favourite for the Diamond League. He is seven points clear and if he is

:24:34. > :24:36.first or second here, he wins the Diamond League. If Ndiku wins

:24:37. > :24:42.tonight, he needs Alamirew to be third or worse. The pacemakers -

:24:43. > :24:49.they are going to go out quickly. We know that Geoffrey Kipkoech Rono,

:24:50. > :24:59.the first of them, and Cornelius Kipruto Kangogo, the second. A

:25:00. > :25:08.Japan-based Kenyan leads the pack. Longosiwa was second in Stockholm.

:25:09. > :25:13.It is quick. Single file and the first lap - the pacemaker has gone

:25:14. > :25:28.through in 61.5. STUART STOREY: Indeed. The stadium

:25:29. > :25:35.record is very quick - 12:41.36. This is a very big field. Ndiku has

:25:36. > :25:40.got such good pace at the end. He's been sub-13. There are so many who

:25:41. > :25:45.are capable and have been sub-13 in this race. Really, the pace is being

:25:46. > :25:50.reeled out beautifully at the moment. Except that lap was 64

:25:51. > :25:59.seconds. Andrew Vernon of Britain at the back of the field. Just checking

:26:00. > :26:10.on that triple jump again. And Christian Taylor wins the Diamond

:26:11. > :26:38.race. And 17.51m, a great jump. Very late on in the competition. Ana

:26:39. > :26:44.Simic looking very confident, indeed, on this day. The European

:26:45. > :26:49.bronze medallist. A clean bill of health through to 1.96m. Her best is

:26:50. > :26:57.1.99m. On the evidence of that, more health through to 1.96m. Her best is

:26:58. > :27:01.is promised. This is a second attempt now for Maria Kuchina. She

:27:17. > :27:20.first time. From Stockholm. Won a competition in Warsaw recently.

:27:21. > :27:28.first time. From Stockholm. Won a Kuchina is a 2m jumper this year.

:27:29. > :27:35.She has had several second-time clearances, of course. Ruth Beitia

:27:36. > :27:42.is next to go. She got a bit close to that bar. The take-off was not

:27:43. > :27:54.quite right. Back to the Men's 5000m Final. The

:27:55. > :27:56.athletes - this big field, 18 of them are behind

:27:57. > :28:03.athletes - this big field, 18 of They are not keen to go with the

:28:04. > :28:13.tempo. Lalang is in there as well, Lawi Lalang. He's got down to 13:03

:28:14. > :28:20.this year. Levins is towards the back of the field. There is Andrew

:28:21. > :28:29.Vernon. He has had a fabulous season. The Briton won medals at the

:28:30. > :28:36.European Championships. That, after a slightly disappointing sixth in

:28:37. > :28:40.the Commonwealth Games 5000m. He has had a career-changing year, he

:28:41. > :28:45.really has, at the age of 28. There's Galen Rupp. He's had

:28:46. > :28:47.really has, at the age of 28. fabulous season. The only

:28:48. > :28:51.non-African-born athlete who can mix it with the best of the East

:28:52. > :28:54.Africans. I was wondering if tonight if the US record might be a target

:28:55. > :29:02.for Galen Rupp. I don't think so. The pace is not particularly quick.

:29:03. > :29:25.A 64.57 second lap. That is outside 13:20 pace. Blanka Vlasic. This is a

:29:26. > :29:35.very important jump. Her third and final attempt at 1.96m. Just getting

:29:36. > :29:55.the rhythm correct. Won Olympic silver in 2008. Was

:29:56. > :30:01.second with 2.05m. The biggest height ever to come anything other

:30:02. > :30:05.than gold. No. We said she might not be on full song this evening because

:30:06. > :30:10.of that knee injury. She's been really nursing it. And she withdrew

:30:11. > :30:14.from the European Championships with the inflamed knee and that problem

:30:15. > :30:19.is not going away. She hoped today, she told the organisers here, she

:30:20. > :30:25.hoped she could hold together and go to 2m. But it is not to be. A third

:30:26. > :30:30.and final attempt for Ruth Beitia. This is a very important jump for

:30:31. > :30:44.her. She's won the Spanish title 23 times.

:30:45. > :30:51.first attempt, the rest are struggling. Can she stay in the

:30:52. > :31:02.competition, the European champion? No. That is it for her, she is gone.

:31:03. > :31:08.That is another opponent of Ana Simic to

:31:09. > :31:09.That is another opponent of Ana She will now attempt 1.98. Very

:31:10. > :31:16.quick approach, does not get their height. It has been a long season,

:31:17. > :31:19.once you have been a champion in the major championships, it takes a toll

:31:20. > :31:20.once you have been a champion in the on you, physically, and also the

:31:21. > :31:28.psyche. We can on you, physically, and also the

:31:29. > :31:45.metres, it is slow, meandering, a tactical affair. Not much inside of

:31:46. > :31:56.13.20 pace. Andy Burnham struggling to get with this tempo. -- Vernon.

:31:57. > :31:59.The pacemakers cannot convince the field to accelerate, of course, you

:32:00. > :32:05.are powerless when they are behind you. Nobody is clearly up for it.

:32:06. > :32:12.The former European indoor silver-medallist. With five laps to

:32:13. > :32:19.run, outside eight minutes, one of the slowest 5000s of the year. That

:32:20. > :32:30.increases the anticipation of what will be unleashed in the closing

:32:31. > :32:40.four five laps. -- for or five laps. You get the sense it is beginning to

:32:41. > :32:49.pick up. Each of them at the front, the little Ethiopian. The tall man

:32:50. > :33:33.in Orange has proved himself to be a very strong runner. There is Rupp

:33:34. > :33:45.moving up. The danger man for me, Ndiku, looks very strong. We saw

:33:46. > :33:52.another desperately slow 12.5 lap race previously. As they come around

:33:53. > :33:58.the top bend. Certainly nobody is really accelerating away. Just over

:33:59. > :34:07.three laps to run. Trying to challenge the rest of the field. It

:34:08. > :34:37.will be a sprinter's race. Ndiku in yellow, then Rupp in black. It has

:34:38. > :34:39.picked up a little bit Andy Vernon, struggling there. That is

:34:40. > :34:49.understandable for the part-time nanny. The pacemaker's job is done,

:34:50. > :35:06.they are all bunching up. The fastest kilometre of the race. Tanui

:35:07. > :35:13.has made his move, taking over from Ibrahimov. He has not really

:35:14. > :35:19.injected any pace, none of them have. Everybody is reluctant to be

:35:20. > :35:25.the man sacrificing himself, to go about in front, to be shot down.

:35:26. > :35:29.Rupp looking strong, probably the quickest in the field. He has ran

:35:30. > :35:47.3.50 for the mile. Rupp in fourth quickest in the field. He has ran

:35:48. > :36:04.place at the moment. Edris still tucked in there. Rupp moving up. Ten

:36:05. > :36:20.athletes still there with 500 to run. There are going to the

:36:21. > :36:24.fireworks at the bell. It is going to be a sprint, not being a hard

:36:25. > :36:36.5,000-metre race testing the strength. Rupp following them around

:36:37. > :36:41.the bell. Ibrahimov still there in fourth place. The rest of them

:36:42. > :36:50.beginning to struggle. As Rupp got this beach? Would the non-African

:36:51. > :36:58.defeat the best that Kenya and EVA PF can throw at him? -- and

:36:59. > :37:16.Ethiopian. These two beginning to move clear. Ndeku kicking through.

:37:17. > :37:28.Ndeku will take it. The final lap in 55.46. Edris in second, overtaking

:37:29. > :37:41.Rupp. There will be some good place times, considering it was outside

:37:42. > :37:47.eight minutes. Very quick at the closing stages. Ndeku, who used to

:37:48. > :37:52.have his hair dyed gold, he won the world indoors earlier on. He has had

:37:53. > :38:01.a superb season, crowning it off nicely. Edris, you felt he left it a

:38:02. > :38:08.little late. He had that past time of 12.54.83, a very quick finish.

:38:09. > :38:13.Judging it almost right. Ndeku also has a terrific finish. The

:38:14. > :38:18.Commonwealth Games, and African champion, a real talent when it

:38:19. > :38:21.comes to spring finishing. He was on the right place, never really

:38:22. > :38:28.leading it, moving up slowly and surely. Ndeku claiming the Diamond.

:38:29. > :38:41.What a finish for Edris, the Ethiopian, only 20.

:38:42. > :38:48.Ndeku taking all the prizes, 10,004 when in the race, 40,004 winning the

:38:49. > :38:55.Diamond. Good performance by Rupp, Mo Farah's training partner. You can

:38:56. > :39:06.see him next Sunday. It is a historic great North run. The city

:39:07. > :39:17.games on Saturday as well. -- Great North Run. We have the highlights of

:39:18. > :39:20.the world youth games. We will feature the next generation of

:39:21. > :39:27.Jamaican sprinters, the first teenager to break 13 seconds to win

:39:28. > :39:32.gold in the 100 metres. The final Diamond meeting of the season,

:39:33. > :39:38.Brussels. The other half of the Diamond big races. Do not miss that.

:39:39. > :39:44.Looking forward to the men's 100 metres. We have the European

:39:45. > :39:48.champion at one and two metres and 200 metres. Edris They are looking

:39:49. > :40:05.to step it up to 200 metres. Edris They are looking

:40:06. > :40:10.state of British sprinting is so strong. I want to get out there

:40:11. > :40:15.against the quickest guys in the strong. I want to get out there

:40:16. > :40:16.world. You want to perform against these people, the biggest in the

:40:17. > :40:43.world. A great feeling. these people, the biggest in the

:40:44. > :40:56.is gold for Great Britain. 19.99. To these people, the biggest in the

:40:57. > :41:02.Simply superb. Dasaolo, and Gemili on outside lanes, two athletes

:41:03. > :41:07.returning from drugs barons, Asaph Avenue Powell and Tyson Gay. Very

:41:08. > :41:18.different circumstances. -- Asafa Powell. Tyson Gay rather more

:41:19. > :41:33.serious, steroids. Asafa Powell, he had a stimulant. I'm struggling to

:41:34. > :41:50.nice! For a lot of people, what did Gays -- Gay say to get such short

:41:51. > :41:55.band? The doping authorities are no soft touch, Travis

:41:56. > :41:57.band? The doping authorities are no man he pursued and got

:41:58. > :42:10.band? The doping authorities are no Armstrong. Maybe we will never find

:42:11. > :42:13.band? The doping authorities are no like some transparency. They would

:42:14. > :42:16.like to know what the information was, does he deserve the right to be

:42:17. > :42:27.back with a reduced sentence? If you agree or do not with their

:42:28. > :42:31.participation, they are here. We are all fascinated to see what James

:42:32. > :42:39.Dasaolo and Adam Gemili can do. We are not really sure what Adam's from

:42:40. > :42:44.this event is. He has said he's still learning, he wants to have fun

:42:45. > :42:45.with of them. Personally I think years a better 200-metre

:42:46. > :42:52.with of them. Personally I think seemed to be a class apart. -- he

:42:53. > :42:56.is. He needs to work on his turnover, his stance, once he gets

:42:57. > :43:03.that right, you will see him consistently under ten seconds.

:43:04. > :43:07.Coming back to James Dasaolo, as we discussed, he has managed his season

:43:08. > :43:17.and his fragile body very well. Both of them are looked after by Steve

:43:18. > :43:20.Fudge, to get them into form at the right time. These are the

:43:21. > :43:24.competitions they know they have to step up to. With the World

:43:25. > :43:30.Championship next year. There is Tyson Gay, so disappointed with him.

:43:31. > :43:35.I thought he has been a phenomenal athlete. We will see what he is

:43:36. > :43:41.capable of doing. Certainly a very generous reception. He was always a

:43:42. > :43:45.popular athlete. With people returning from drugs barons, it can

:43:46. > :43:49.be personal. It depends on how you respond to them. Also how they

:43:50. > :44:02.handled the ban, he was very forthright, saying I did wrong. Next

:44:03. > :44:22.to Adam Gemili, they carry, a bronze medal from the European jacking

:44:23. > :44:30.chips. -- big Harry. What a race this is proving to be already. The

:44:31. > :45:10.men's 100 metres. Please stand up. Unfortunate,

:45:11. > :45:13.somebody made a noise in the crowd. Disturbing the attention of the

:45:14. > :45:20.athletes, the starter absolutely right to call them to order again.

:45:21. > :45:26.Absolutely right. The announcer. Having a word with the crowd.

:45:27. > :45:52.STUART STOREY: Dasaolu, Thompson, Bailey, Powell, Bailey-Cole, Gay,

:45:53. > :46:05.Gemili. Tyson Gay - 9.93 this season. Rodgers there, Gemili. Harry

:46:06. > :46:12.Aikines-Aryeetey. Demanding moments. A test of physicality and the

:46:13. > :46:44.psyche. Let's hope they get away cleanly.

:46:45. > :46:52.Who gets the start? Powell gets the start. Rodgers and Bailey-Cole going

:46:53. > :46:56.well, Gemili coming through strongly and Bailey-Cole is coming through to

:46:57. > :47:01.get this. On the inside, Dasaolu ran very strongly indeed. Now, then,

:47:02. > :47:10.let's see. Bailey-Cole a very tough win in 9.96. He came through very

:47:11. > :47:16.strongly in the end. He really did. But Asafa Powell got the start, but

:47:17. > :47:18.Bailey-Cole, the double gold at the Commonwealth Championships proved to

:47:19. > :47:25.be the best. It's a season's best this season. It really is. Tyson

:47:26. > :47:30.Gay, Mike Rodgers just sneaked through into second place and James

:47:31. > :47:38.Dasaolu did get the third place. He was up there, ran very well from the

:47:39. > :47:43.inside lane. It's 9.96 to 10.05, to 10.06. Let's look again at this.

:47:44. > :47:49.Watch the middle. Asafa Powell gets away brilliantly. Gay is not going

:47:50. > :47:53.well at this stage. But look at big Kemar Bailey-Cole and watch Dasaolu

:47:54. > :47:57.on the right, Gemili had a bit of work to do on that, but Bailey-Cole

:47:58. > :48:03.was so strong, he came through the field brilliantly. And when you

:48:04. > :48:06.consider that, you know, he ran so very well in the Commonwealth Games

:48:07. > :48:11.and he's held that Championship form together. Brilliant, 9.96. Mike

:48:12. > :48:15.Rodgers, incidentally, that was a good run by him.

:48:16. > :48:25.TIM HUTCHINGS: People will be saying who needs Usain Bolt and Blake? That

:48:26. > :48:30.is a big winning margin. That is a metre at the speed they are shifting

:48:31. > :48:36.at. Adam Gemili in fifth place, 10.13. They were running into a

:48:37. > :48:44.slight headwind. It's not a warm evening now. This is a quick track.

:48:45. > :48:58.There is the confirmation of the result of that Men's 100m Final.

:48:59. > :49:06.James and Adam are alongside Denise and me. Third place, 10.06, how was

:49:07. > :49:12.that? I was in lane one, so you have to run your own race. I focussed on

:49:13. > :49:16.the line and didn't pay attention to what was around me. It was about

:49:17. > :49:19.mixing it with the best sprinters in the world. That is what I wanted to

:49:20. > :49:25.gain from today. Frustrated with lane one? You are running in a

:49:26. > :49:30.straight line so you have to focus on yourself. The job is still the

:49:31. > :49:33.same. Tough to come back after a Championships, just less than two

:49:34. > :49:39.weeks. You rested in Birmingham. How fresh did you feel here? I felt

:49:40. > :49:43.pretty good. It is only my third or fourth race. I still have another

:49:44. > :49:47.few more races left so hopefullily be able to improve on my season's

:49:48. > :49:50.best. Denise and I have talked about how you have managed yourself

:49:51. > :49:51.through this season. You have had your injury problems. How is the

:49:52. > :49:59.body? The body feels fine. I'm body? The body feels fine. I'm

:50:00. > :50:05.1100%. -- 100%. I am fully fit. Nice run. Adam, fifth, 10.13.

:50:06. > :50:10.1100%. -- 100%. I am fully fit. Nice tired? You know what, I didn't

:50:11. > :50:18.realise until I took my first stride. It was a big terror of Nesta

:50:19. > :50:23.Carter out wide. Coming off two champs this year, I have done a lot

:50:24. > :50:28.of work. It is nice to get yourself in amongst this guys and fifth,

:50:29. > :50:33.beating Nesta Carter, so it builds for next year. For me, this year, I

:50:34. > :50:38.think I might have to call it a day. You have both trained with Steve,

:50:39. > :50:46.what is that like, you two pushing each other along in training?

:50:47. > :50:56.It is awesome. We have a good time. We enjoy each other's company. We

:50:57. > :51:02.try to make each other run quicker. James was close there today, so next

:51:03. > :51:08.year, we will be ready. You have the sub-20 now, is the sub-10 something

:51:09. > :51:21.on your mind? Everything Everyone keeps saying that. -- everyone keeps

:51:22. > :51:25.saying that. It will come when it comes and then I will be happy with

:51:26. > :51:31.that. Sub-20 is a nice way to end the season. Thank you. Great

:51:32. > :51:42.memories for us from here a couple of weeks ago. Well done. Thank you,

:51:43. > :51:46.guys. Well done. The Women's 4X100m Relay Final coming up shortly. It's

:51:47. > :51:50.a great quartet. It doesn't matter at the moment which of the four

:51:51. > :51:54.girls that they run. They seem to have just gelled. They respond to

:51:55. > :51:56.each other really well. I think it is important going forward that they

:51:57. > :52:07.make sure that they get the baton know they can. The Women's High Jump

:52:08. > :52:12.Final is coming to its climax. STUART STOREY: It will be nice to

:52:13. > :52:17.come away with a personal best for the European bronze medallist.

:52:18. > :52:31.TIM HUTCHINGS: A chance to look at the athletes for the Women's 4X100m

:52:32. > :52:34.Relay Final. Norway go in lane one. They set a national record in the

:52:35. > :52:36.European Championships heats. They set a national record in the

:52:37. > :52:44.Italians go in lane two. Switzerland They set a national record in the

:52:45. > :52:49.failed to finish the European Championships final. Kambundji was

:52:50. > :53:06.the lead-off athlete for them. She dropped the baton in a few strides.

:53:07. > :53:17.Kambundji was fourth in the European Championships. The British, not sure

:53:18. > :53:19.if they start as favourites here. The USA go in lane six. In lane

:53:20. > :53:34.five, Jamaica. The USA hold the world record, but

:53:35. > :53:55.not with this quartet. That is Allyson Felix on the second leg. She

:53:56. > :54:02.will receive the baton from Tianna Bartoletta.

:54:03. > :54:06.And the Netherlands are on the outside. Dafne Schippers was one of

:54:07. > :54:12.the stars of course of Zurich, those European Championships, a double

:54:13. > :54:18.gold in the 100m and 200m and won so impressively, too. That was having

:54:19. > :54:23.been a heptathlete for her career prior to the Championships in this

:54:24. > :54:24.very arena. The GB Team won the European Championship with this same

:54:25. > :54:40.squad but for leg three. Norway in one, Italy two,

:54:41. > :54:43.Switzerland three, Great Britain four, Jamaica five, USA six,

:54:44. > :54:54.Netherlands, Switzerland. Good running from Tianna Bartoletta.

:54:55. > :54:57.She's already passed the Dutch lead-off athlete. Good change from

:54:58. > :55:04.the British in the centre of picture. Allyson Felix in the yellow

:55:05. > :55:14.socks running really strongly for the USA. She hands over. Great

:55:15. > :55:21.Britain on this third leg and they have run a fabulous bend. The

:55:22. > :55:25.British lead in lane four. USA - and Great Britain will take this one.

:55:26. > :55:28.Coming through strongly are Jamaica. Great Britain will take it from

:55:29. > :55:34.Jamaica and the USA. That is some victory. 42.21. I think they have

:55:35. > :55:38.just broken the British record. Oh boy oh boy. If that is confirmed,

:55:39. > :55:43.that is a very, very special run, indeed from four young athletes who

:55:44. > :55:44.are just at the start of their international careers. That is

:55:45. > :55:55.incredible. They have international careers. That is

:55:56. > :55:58.42.21. We need to make sure there is no officials having held up red

:55:59. > :56:02.cards to show there was a dodgy changeover. A national record has

:56:03. > :56:06.come up for that British quartet. I'm not sure that their changeovers

:56:07. > :56:11.were perfect. I would love to see them again. To turn down, the turn

:56:12. > :56:16.back the challenge of Jamaica, the World Champions, of the USA, the

:56:17. > :56:19.Olympic Champions, maybe with different quartets, we have to

:56:20. > :56:24.accept that, that is some run. STUART STOREY: It is some run. They

:56:25. > :56:34.have to get the baton round. That was superb.

:56:35. > :56:45.What a good quartet it was. They beat off the United States of

:56:46. > :56:48.America, beating off Jamaica. They haven't got their national teams

:56:49. > :56:56.here. Never mind, it's a national record for Great Britain and a

:56:57. > :57:17.great, great end to the season for our British quartet. The British

:57:18. > :57:20.quartet, not only winning, but beating the British record and doing

:57:21. > :57:24.it well. Jamaica were second. United States were third. My goodness me,

:57:25. > :57:31.that was a good win and a convincing win.

:57:32. > :57:43.JONATHAN EDWARDS: The Swiss can only rue their lost opportunities. --

:57:44. > :57:50.TIM HUTCHINGS: It was almost the British disease.

:57:51. > :57:58.JONATHAN EDWARDS: I have the new British record holders - you had

:57:59. > :58:05.already broken the British record. Can you believe you have done that?

:58:06. > :58:13.Amazing! We wanted to run well again. The crowd is amazing. The

:58:14. > :58:19.girls are amazing. Yeah. Amazing! You started it all off. Good first

:58:20. > :58:24.leg for you? Definitely. I did the starts in the warm-up area. I was

:58:25. > :58:28.doing good. I wasn't too sure what the time was so I thought I'm going

:58:29. > :58:35.to go for it. Surprised we ran that time. I can only really see their
