Anniversary Games: Day 1

:00:18. > :00:24.The Olympics brings together the people of the world n harmony and

:00:25. > :00:32.friendship and peace to celebrate what is best about mankind.

:00:33. > :00:37.There is a truth to sport, a purity, a drama, an intensity, a spirit

:00:38. > :00:41.which makes it irresistible to take part in and irresistible to watch.

:00:42. > :00:46.What we are seeing right now is that dreams do come true. Humans

:00:47. > :00:55.stretched to the limits of their abilities. Living for the moment,

:00:56. > :01:00.but making a mark upon history. The champion becomes a legend.

:01:01. > :01:11.Those of us who came to watch witnessed moments of heroism and

:01:12. > :01:16.heartbreak. We know more now, as individuals and

:01:17. > :01:24.as a nation, just what we are capable of.

:01:25. > :01:33.And that knowledge will drive us on. We lit the flame and we lit up the

:01:34. > :01:39.world. There are some famous words, words

:01:40. > :01:45.that when you read them you know mean high quality, mean skill, mean

:01:46. > :01:52.creativity. We have stamped those words on the Olympic and Paralympic

:01:53. > :02:04.games of London, 2012. Made in Britain.

:02:05. > :02:14.Well f that has not got your pulse racing and your uses flowing I am

:02:15. > :02:23.not sure what will. Welcome to the muller Anniversary Games, 2016. Now

:02:24. > :02:29.on the 22nd July the Olympic Games were held here. It has gone like the

:02:30. > :02:35.blink of an eye. In two weeks' time we will enjoy the Roy Olympics w the

:02:36. > :02:38.world watching Brazil. Tonight there is a packed stadium. 38,000 people

:02:39. > :02:44.expected here and a cracking atmosphere. The athletics is set to

:02:45. > :02:49.be isn't it lating. Usain Bolt is out on the -- stint lating. Usain

:02:50. > :02:55.Bolt is out on the track later. Alongside me as we kick off this one

:02:56. > :02:59.Michael Johnson and Denise Lewis. Welcome back. Who are you looking

:03:00. > :03:05.out for tonight? It is great to be back. I am certainly looking out for

:03:06. > :03:07.Bolt tonight. His first race, out after a season, in which he says he

:03:08. > :03:22.is fine. Who are you looking for to The

:03:23. > :03:31.100-metre hurdles. Jessica Ennis-Hill. Also Eilidh Doyle in the

:03:32. > :03:37.women's 400-metre hurdles. Thank you for the moment. We will set the

:03:38. > :03:42.scene on what is to come shortly. The action comes thick and fast.

:03:43. > :03:44.First up on the track it is the women's 400 metres. So good evening

:03:45. > :03:50.to Steve Cram. Thank you. Lots to look forward to.

:03:51. > :03:52.400 gets us under way. We will put you in the very capable hands of

:03:53. > :04:14.Andrew Cotter. Strong athletes in lanes, four,

:04:15. > :04:19.five, six and seven. There are world-class athletes and British

:04:20. > :04:25.athletes. There is Onuora. Here bronze at the European

:04:26. > :04:31.Championships, where she edged out Christine Ohuruogu. No sparkling

:04:32. > :04:34.times. Emily Diamond is improving a lot.

:04:35. > :04:43.Last year for her was ruined by injury.

:04:44. > :04:46.Francena McCorory missed out on an individual place in Rio. Fifth in

:04:47. > :04:52.the individual trails which spare no-one if you are outside the top

:04:53. > :05:06.three Guei of France. Silver at Amsterdam. Amsterdam.

:05:07. > :05:22.Shaunae Miller is unbeaten over 400. Outstanding over 200. Will run the

:05:23. > :05:31.400 in Rio. Natasha Hastingss - 51. 7 she ran there.

:05:32. > :05:33.McPherson is the Jamaican champion sh year. This stadium will rise to

:05:34. > :05:48.Christine Ohuruogu. Missed the trails with a virus and

:05:49. > :05:50.that threw it all up in the air. Bundy-Davis finished second in the

:05:51. > :06:03.UK Championships. So four British athletes competing

:06:04. > :06:07.here in this women's 400 metres. On a perfect evening. A quick evening

:06:08. > :06:12.as well in terms of sprinting. We have seen very quick times. It is a

:06:13. > :06:16.freshly laid track as well. I think we could see some very good times

:06:17. > :06:18.here. Not a breath of wind. It is warm. It

:06:19. > :06:28.is still. And Ohuruogu looking for something,

:06:29. > :06:37.the selectors looking for someone from her between now and Rio.

:06:38. > :06:41.She's won this event three times in the past with sparkling times, 50

:06:42. > :06:47.seconds flat in 2013. She's a long way from that but needs to find

:06:48. > :06:52.something. Shaunae Miller should be the woman

:06:53. > :07:03.to chase here in lane five. Onuora trying to chase down Diamond.

:07:04. > :07:11.Christine Ohuruogu paces herself in lane eight.

:07:12. > :07:17.Very quick from Natasha Hastings. Miller chasing her down.

:07:18. > :07:22.McPherson squeezing alongside Ohuruogu at the moment. Does

:07:23. > :07:27.Ohuruogu have anything left? Bundy-Davis losing a little bit of

:07:28. > :07:29.pace. Hastings and Miller are side by

:07:30. > :07:47.side. It is Miller, an exhibition of

:07:48. > :07:57.400-metre running. Shaunae Miller, quickest in the world this year.

:07:58. > :08:05.They were a long way adrift. She takes the world-leading mark from

:08:06. > :08:11.Alison Felix. What a run that was from Shaunae Miller. She is

:08:12. > :08:14.focussing on the 400 in Rio. And you can see why.

:08:15. > :08:20.I think she reel lie needed that. She'll have to take on Alison Felix.

:08:21. > :08:26.Christine finished the best of the Brits. Christine going a few steps

:08:27. > :08:30.towards vindicating her selection, definitely and running her season's

:08:31. > :08:35.best to boot. We will give you details of that. Miller, the third

:08:36. > :08:39.time in league win. She's learning to run a race well. There were

:08:40. > :08:45.almost two different races from here. From here lane out, through

:08:46. > :08:51.the 200 much quicker. . Was the only one who maintained well. Her head

:08:52. > :08:56.has gone back a little bit. She's trying to keep the knee pick up. A

:08:57. > :08:59.lovely, lovely runner. I think there's a massive amount of

:09:00. > :09:05.potential for her in this event. But this shows she is ready to take on

:09:06. > :09:10.Alison Felix. That sentence is a tough one. She's right there. A

:09:11. > :09:16.really good performance here tonight. She is like Alison Felix -

:09:17. > :09:25.she will not be there in Rio in the 200. She missed out in the trials.

:09:26. > :09:31.It is a shame she will not double up up. Michael Johnson, I am sure,

:09:32. > :09:39.hugely impressed with Shaunae Miller? Absolutely. The 200 speed,

:09:40. > :09:43.we saw it her with 100 metres to go, so far ahead of everyone else.

:09:44. > :09:51.Looking very relaxed. She benefitted as well from the very quick paceset

:09:52. > :09:56.by Natasha Hastings. She runs a fast pace. Got her a third place at the

:09:57. > :10:04.US championships, so she's on that team. Miller, a fantastic

:10:05. > :10:12.performance here. This sets up an amazing race between Shaunae Miller

:10:13. > :10:18.and Alison Felix. So, now two athletes over 400 metres, both

:10:19. > :10:23.choosing, at least in the case of Miller not running the 400 metres.

:10:24. > :10:26.Alison missing out on the team for the US.

:10:27. > :10:31.It should be a fantastic match-up between those two.

:10:32. > :10:37.I was not impressed with Christine's run here. I think as Andrew and

:10:38. > :10:40.Steve said, she did enough to vindicate her position. She's got

:10:41. > :10:44.some work to do between now and Rio. The one thing that I didn't see from

:10:45. > :10:50.Christine that you normally see is some great lift at the end of the

:10:51. > :10:57.400 metres. You can see the look on her face here a little bit of

:10:58. > :11:03.struggling over this last 40-metre or so. That is one of the easiest

:11:04. > :11:07.things to work on - working on speed endurance. It is a mark of what high

:11:08. > :11:11.standards Christine Ohuruogu sets herself. That was a great season's

:11:12. > :11:15.best as we waited for Michael to finish there. You said, yes, but not

:11:16. > :11:20.quick enough. Overall, Christine, that is a great stepping stone

:11:21. > :11:26.towards the Olympics. It is. And I don't want to be the one to

:11:27. > :11:31.complain, but it is prosecution. I want to be sharper today. This was a

:11:32. > :11:37.home-coming for you. You made good on your pledge after London to visit

:11:38. > :11:41.of primary school in the area and I think you have just about done it?

:11:42. > :11:46.There is only one of me and lots of schools. It whats been a long graft

:11:47. > :11:49.-- it has been a long graft. I can keep doing it forever. It is fine.

:11:50. > :11:53.Looking at the rounds at the Europeans and the fact you have

:11:54. > :12:03.secured a season's best, on so many occasions we have seen you run your

:12:04. > :12:09.best times exactly when it counts. So the time is looking good. I do

:12:10. > :12:12.not turn up and decide to run a season's best. It is a lot of work.

:12:13. > :12:19.This season has been a lot of work. It has been really, really hard. But

:12:20. > :12:24.we push on. That is life sometimes. Sometimes it goes to plan more often

:12:25. > :12:29.than not it does. You have to try and make the best out of it. See you

:12:30. > :12:35.in Rio. . Thank you. See you later. She is smiling. She knows she's got

:12:36. > :12:38.to find half a second if she's to challenge for medals, which is a

:12:39. > :12:42.big, big ask. She is improving.

:12:43. > :12:45.Shaunae Miller quickest in the world this year. A long way clear of the

:12:46. > :12:47.best. Over the next two hours or so, there

:12:48. > :13:05.are plenty more coming your way. It is a great performance by her. A

:13:06. > :13:18.super run. She runs it.

:13:19. > :13:28.It is gold for Great Britain... Bolt is going to do it again!

:13:29. > :13:34.Well, we know they are running quick out there on that track. Tonight

:13:35. > :13:36.there are perfect conditions. Now it is the men's 100-metre heats coming

:13:37. > :13:58.your way. A mouth-watering race here.

:13:59. > :14:00.There is the British champion. Most people from this race are going

:14:01. > :14:20.to Rio. Bracy, who you saw.

:14:21. > :14:25.Aaron Brown, Young and Edoburun. Frater, maybe at the twilight of his

:14:26. > :14:33.sprinting career. He still ran 10.04 this year.

:14:34. > :14:36.CJ - a great British sprinter. Individual they want to do well.

:14:37. > :14:42.They have seen what the women's relay team have done tonight. I am

:14:43. > :14:48.sure they will hoping to be doing the same tomorrow.

:14:49. > :15:04.Rodgers was fourth at the American trials.

:15:05. > :15:10.Bracy... 22 years of age. James Dasaolu, you keep waiting for

:15:11. > :15:18.James to really come and bust the time, as they say.

:15:19. > :15:28.Aaron Brown. Again the Canadians starting to produce really good

:15:29. > :15:35.sprint talent again. Isiah Young. He goes in seven. Solomon Bockarie was

:15:36. > :15:39.at the European Championships. Just missed out at a medal in the 200

:15:40. > :15:45.metres. He was fourth in that event. A personal best in the semis in the

:15:46. > :15:49.200 in Amsterdam. The European junior champion last year, Ojie

:15:50. > :15:55.Edoburun. He's being take ton Rio, as much for experience as anything

:15:56. > :15:59.else as part of the relay squad. What continue aunt for the

:16:00. > :16:08.20-year-old. -- what an opportunity for the 20-year-old. A big talent.

:16:09. > :16:18.Nvment Top three to go through. Rodgers with the head band. Aaron

:16:19. > :16:34.Brown, watch for him in six. Bracy right in the middle.

:16:35. > :16:43.Bracy gets a very good start. Rodgers got left a bit. Chijindu

:16:44. > :16:45.Ujah leading this one at the moment. He has the win! Bracy definitely

:16:46. > :17:03.second. Tight for third. Well, CJ got a great start. He got a

:17:04. > :17:10.metre and then a bit of pressure at the end. He hung on well. It is only

:17:11. > :17:14.a heat, I sa that -- I say that, but these guys are running flat out.

:17:15. > :17:18.He's through, Bracy through. We're waiting for the photo finish. It's

:17:19. > :17:21.showing Rodgers at the moment. I was going through the list and there's

:17:22. > :17:27.seven athletes in the line up going to Rio. Let's look at the quality.

:17:28. > :17:32.This is not an easy heat. People have to work hard to qualify.

:17:33. > :17:36.Chijindu Ujah did it so well. He exploded out of the blocks. He

:17:37. > :17:39.treated this with the respect due to it. World class athletes here. He

:17:40. > :17:45.produced what was necessary. Good start. A good mid-phrase and just

:17:46. > :17:49.hung on to take this first heat. I'm a bit surprised about the time. I

:17:50. > :17:53.thought it may be a bit swifter, especially with the quality of the

:17:54. > :17:56.field but it's about qualifying. Great run from him. I think there's

:17:57. > :18:01.a few people who really didn't run very well there. Look at Aaron

:18:02. > :18:05.Brown. Absolutely nowhere here. He got out well. Didn't do anything.

:18:06. > :18:11.Dasaolu doesn't come on. Young tries to get there. Just about makes it.

:18:12. > :18:15.He might be quick, but 10. 21 for him in this sort of field, the guys

:18:16. > :18:20.in the next heat could get five or six go through if they go a bit

:18:21. > :18:24.quicker. You're absolutely right. They'll be rubbing their hands

:18:25. > :18:27.together. Perhaps a more relaxed run by them. There's eight of them

:18:28. > :18:30.who've dwaulified for the Olympics -- qualified for the Olympics in the

:18:31. > :18:41.next run. They've all got to be ready. Well Bracy out well. Just

:18:42. > :18:44.hung on. Rodgers sneaks through for third. Chijindu Ujah into the final

:18:45. > :19:07.and looking very good indeed. Action under way. Morgan Lake 19

:19:08. > :19:20.years of age has had a good start so far. Yes. Perfect start to her

:19:21. > :19:30.evening's work. Britain's sole competitor in this event. Morgan

:19:31. > :19:38.Lake not in the heptathlon and an injured Pooley. Her team-mate,

:19:39. > :19:41.Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who is going in heptathlon. Very good at

:19:42. > :19:48.this event. Looking for a confidence boost ahead of the Rio Games. A good

:19:49. > :19:54.clearance. She'll have had half an eye on a very sharp looking Jessica

:19:55. > :19:56.Ennis-Hill in the hurdles a little while ago. Katarina Johnson-Thompson

:19:57. > :20:16.also clear at 1. 89. Where's Crammie gone? It can't be!

:20:17. > :20:19.No, you're still here You are funny. STUDIO: I thought it was Michael

:20:20. > :20:23.just nipped out to the loo. You never know. If you weren't watching

:20:24. > :20:24.on the red button earlier, you missed something very special

:20:25. > :20:39.indeed. Keep an eye on lane four, Asha

:20:40. > :20:48.Philip with her strong start leading them off. Making up ground. A good,

:20:49. > :20:52.strong run from Ashya Philip and so too from the Netherlands. The

:20:53. > :20:59.Netherlands are gone. Now Britain are in a strong position. Dena

:21:00. > :21:03.Asher-Smith. She now runs the bend with a big, big lead. Looking for

:21:04. > :21:09.the safe final handover. They're almost side by side. The baton is in

:21:10. > :21:13.the hands now. It's going to be a big victory for Great Britain A.

:21:14. > :21:20.Great Britain B in fourth place at the moment. Victory though, and the

:21:21. > :21:25.time 41. 82 - it is quick. A couple of those changes were safe. A couple

:21:26. > :21:32.were very good. But it all adds up to 41. 81. That lays down a marker

:21:33. > :21:37.ahead of Rio. That was outstanding by the Great

:21:38. > :21:40.Britain A-Team. We know that they're phenomenal individual sprinters.

:21:41. > :21:43.We've seen it on many occasions. They're all coming together

:21:44. > :21:47.wonderfully well for the team. They should be really proud of what

:21:48. > :21:52.they've done. Look at that, 41. 81, world lead. Tremendous run. That's

:21:53. > :21:59.got to be one of the fastest runs of all time.

:22:00. > :22:03.STUDIO: New national record, meet record, world lead. What a time to

:22:04. > :22:07.do it. Denise, you don't get many opportunities as a quartet to have a

:22:08. > :22:10.good practice in front a massive crowd in what feels like a

:22:11. > :22:14.championship environment. Exactly, but these girls are well drilled.

:22:15. > :22:18.They have worked together, a lot of investment has gone into our relays,

:22:19. > :22:27.let's face it. You know, I liked this relay. I like this quartet. All

:22:28. > :22:31.of them are hungry for victory and remember, the fourth leg, what a

:22:32. > :22:37.home coming for her to be in this environment and to be part of such a

:22:38. > :22:42.great quartet. Let's analyse this for us. Absolutely. This was just a

:22:43. > :22:46.phenomenal performance, obviously they would have been very motivated,

:22:47. > :22:52.great start out of the blocks here. Very good start. We always know that

:22:53. > :22:56.Ashya Philips is a great starter. This is about the changeover. This

:22:57. > :22:59.is about as clean as you can get there, no wasted motion. They

:23:00. > :23:02.stretched that one out. That was probably the most aggressive

:23:03. > :23:10.changeover of all of them in this race. Again, very clean there. Nice,

:23:11. > :23:14.crisp changeovers there, Dena Asher-Smith, great bend runner. This

:23:15. > :23:17.one is a lot more safe. You'd rather err on the side of safe. This gives

:23:18. > :23:23.you room for improvement, which will need to happen between now and Rio.

:23:24. > :23:28.But this is just a fantastic run by this team, some very young athletes,

:23:29. > :23:35.all working together here, all motivated, coming into this Games,

:23:36. > :23:37.this championship. The thing that I think that really they should take

:23:38. > :23:42.from this is that the changeovers are going to be key. The speed is

:23:43. > :23:46.there. That's what I saw in this, a world-leading time, the speed is

:23:47. > :23:50.there. That's not why people lose relays. They lose relays because

:23:51. > :23:54.they screw up the changeovers. That, you've got to drill that between now

:23:55. > :23:57.and Rio. This says, you've got an opportunity to get a medal. It could

:23:58. > :24:02.be any medal with a time like that, when you look at the rest of the

:24:03. > :24:06.world am Focus on making sure you don't screw it up. That's the main

:24:07. > :24:11.thing. You can't just - speed is there. They have the speed. Some of

:24:12. > :24:15.the other teams, I guarantee you one of the big teams, Trinidad and

:24:16. > :24:18.Tobago, Jamaica, US, probably US is going to drop their baton. That's

:24:19. > :24:22.going to happen. That opens up more opportunities. The other thing too,

:24:23. > :24:26.and I haven't seen this in a while. All those teams could get the baton

:24:27. > :24:29.around and this team could still medal. That's new. I haven't seen

:24:30. > :24:34.that before. I thought you were going to put the dampener on it and

:24:35. > :24:39.tell us the US team are the team to beat - which they are. They are. But

:24:40. > :24:47.you're allowed to give us a moment of excitement. Now the second heat

:24:48. > :24:50.of the 100 metres for the men. A few clouds over there. They are

:24:51. > :24:55.keeping at bay at the moment. Very good conditions. I think that's why

:24:56. > :24:59.we were slightly surprised at the times in the first eight that they

:25:00. > :25:09.weren't -- first heat, that they weren't quicker. Adam Gemili was

:25:10. > :25:13.supposed to be in the second heat. He's struggling with a cold. He's

:25:14. > :25:17.going to run the 200, which is about the show piece event this evening,

:25:18. > :25:19.after all. A big chance for the men in this second heat. That's the

:25:20. > :25:34.result from the first one. James Dasaolu with his 10. 24 is the

:25:35. > :25:51.last of the fastest losers at the moment. This is the line-up.

:25:52. > :26:00.There's Akeem Haynes, talk about the Canadian sprinters getting a bit

:26:01. > :26:04.quicker. Third at the Canadian championships. 10. 16 in the

:26:05. > :26:12.semifinals of the Canadian championships. Julian Forte third in

:26:13. > :26:19.the trials behind Yohan Blake and Ashmeade. Kim Collins. You have to

:26:20. > :26:24.mention his age, but I'm not going to. Had his Olympic selection

:26:25. > :26:27.confirmed on Wednesday. Has made up with the governing body of Saint

:26:28. > :26:34.Kitts Nevis. Interesting to see how he copes here. He has a tendency

:26:35. > :26:44.to cramp when there are round after round.

:26:45. > :26:48.Churandy Martina European champion. Jimmy Vicaut, you never quite know.

:26:49. > :26:57.That's the slogan. He can run almost as fast as anybody in the world 9.

:26:58. > :27:00.86 this season. Richard Thompson, behind Usain Bolt in Beijing.

:27:01. > :27:06.Getting ready for his third Olympics. Richard Kilty has the

:27:07. > :27:10.quickest time of all the Briton that's year after 10. 01 in Hexham

:27:11. > :27:17.last weekend but didn't qualify for the individual. He will be there for

:27:18. > :27:23.the relay in Rio. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, 10. 08 in

:27:24. > :27:28.Loughborough last week. Both running quite times last week. He'll be part

:27:29. > :27:34.of the relay squad as well in Brazil. Everton Clarke of Jamaica.

:27:35. > :27:39.Not going to the Olympics. A tough school the Jamaican sprint

:27:40. > :27:44.qualification, 10. 08 only good enough for the semifinals in their

:27:45. > :27:48.trials. Again a few of these athletes will

:27:49. > :27:52.have watched the first heat or seen the times and thought, got a good

:27:53. > :27:55.chance of going through here. It could be, if they all run to the

:27:56. > :28:00.potential, six will go through from here.

:28:01. > :28:01.Three automatically make it and three fasters losers over the two

:28:02. > :28:39.heats. Second heat of the men's 100 metres.

:28:40. > :28:44.Cleanly away. Jimmy Vicaut trying to keep place. Collins moving quickly.

:28:45. > :28:50.Here comes Jimmy Vicaut powering his way. Julian Forte there as well.

:28:51. > :28:54.Vicaut 9. 97. Said you never know with him, but that was impressive.

:28:55. > :29:01.Jimmy Vicaut rolling across the line, just easing down a little bit.

:29:02. > :29:05.And the times there certainly look more impressive than those of the

:29:06. > :29:13.first heat. Vicaut takes it, rounded down to 9. 96. He'll be rough to

:29:14. > :29:19.beat tonight. He may be a strong contender in Rio. He's been in very

:29:20. > :29:25.good form this year. He's starting well. You get the feeling with Jimmy

:29:26. > :29:30.Vicaut he needs to do that. Not as good as Kim Collins mind you. At the

:29:31. > :29:36.age of Kim, he still has electric reactions. So strong here, Vicaut.

:29:37. > :29:47.Drives all the way through. Forte coming through and Churandy Martina

:29:48. > :29:51.will probably get the third spot. Just ahead of Collins. Well done to

:29:52. > :29:55.Richard Kilty. He will be in the final. Collins really drives out so

:29:56. > :29:58.fast. Great news for him that he is going to the Games. He deserves

:29:59. > :30:02.that. Yeah, Jimmy Vicaut, I don't know how much more there is for

:30:03. > :30:08.Jimmy Vicaut. You just get the feeling he's always on the limit.

:30:09. > :30:12.Surprised, can't see Collins here, but Vicaut powering through. Kilty

:30:13. > :30:17.best known for his start finished strongly. Kilty has gone through.

:30:18. > :30:23.We'll confirm all that in a moment. Because he said he's run not just 9.

:30:24. > :30:27.86, he ran 9. 94 in the trials as well. He's run consistently quickly.

:30:28. > :30:29.He can sometimes go missing. He's had injuries as well. Sometimes he

:30:30. > :30:55.can tie up a little bit. Churandy Martina goes through

:30:56. > :30:57.automatically. Those three below, I think Richard Kilty goes through and

:30:58. > :31:12.we will tidy up the rest for you. This man, of course the Olympic

:31:13. > :31:21.champion. Lavillenie. He had three fouls at

:31:22. > :31:30.the European Championships. Brilliant when he gets it right, but

:31:31. > :31:37.shows some fragility as well. Lavillenie, 5 metres 83. First

:31:38. > :31:43.attempt. Fast on the approach. Oh, yes, that is how to do it! He is

:31:44. > :31:54.almost unbeatable when he gets it right.

:31:55. > :32:02.Kendrick is still in. Barber, the world champion didn't start - he's

:32:03. > :32:10.ill. It is only three men involved. The other Frenchman, his team-mate,

:32:11. > :32:19.but he continues. At the other end of the field

:32:20. > :32:25.Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the high jump. 1.92, the height she

:32:26. > :32:32.cleared earlier this year. Her outdoor season's best. She goes

:32:33. > :32:37.clear. Yes. A boost ahead of Rio and that is

:32:38. > :32:42.what she would have wanted. A slight adjustment there. Maybe two strides

:32:43. > :32:49.out. But a good clearance for Johnson-Thompson. The next height

:32:50. > :32:55.will be a lifetime best. Look at that for Johnson-Thompson. One of

:32:56. > :33:00.the most impressive British athletes so far this season, who is

:33:01. > :33:04.progressing race by race is Eilidh Doyle. The 400 metres hurdles is up

:33:05. > :33:14.next. Former European champion and

:33:15. > :33:20.Commonwealth silver-medallist added to a number of life events by

:33:21. > :33:24.getting married. Life is settled for the 29-year-old Scot. A happy home

:33:25. > :33:29.life is translating to success on the track. She got her season off to

:33:30. > :33:32.a flying start when she won in Doha. The first ever Diamond League

:33:33. > :33:38.victory for her. It is a great performance. 54.54. A good win

:33:39. > :33:41.against some good opposition. Talk me a little bit through the season

:33:42. > :33:46.so far and how it has gone in your eyes. It has gone really well. I

:33:47. > :33:52.think I opened up really well in Doha. Winning the Diamond League,

:33:53. > :33:56.the perfect way to start it. I have been plugging away the last few

:33:57. > :34:01.races. Trying to iron out technical issues and getting the perfect race,

:34:02. > :34:05.trying to nail my race. She went on to secure top three finishes in Rome

:34:06. > :34:10.and Birmingham, before winning in Monaco last weekend. With 54. 09. A

:34:11. > :34:14.top-class performance, but not quite flawless. Just as she is getting

:34:15. > :34:18.tired, she has to chop a little into the last one. Everything else was

:34:19. > :34:21.perfect there tonight. We made changes this year. I think if I get

:34:22. > :34:26.that stride pattern right, that will take me into the 53s. Five other

:34:27. > :34:33.athletes have run quicker than her this season. The fastest of them all

:34:34. > :34:37.Dalilah Muhammad, she has run under 53 seconds. It will take perfection

:34:38. > :34:42.if Doyle wants to be on the podium in Rio. Her mind set going into

:34:43. > :34:45.these games will be different to the London Olympics, where she made the

:34:46. > :34:49.semi-finals in 2012. I think mentally I am a different athlete to

:34:50. > :34:52.what I was four years ago. That is because I have been running well and

:34:53. > :34:57.obviously my confidence is high. It is nothing to do with getting

:34:58. > :35:01.married? My husband will claim it is. But no, I don't think so. I wish

:35:02. > :35:05.you luck this weekend. Thanks very much.

:35:06. > :35:09.She was a child in 2012, she's very much the woman to watch out for as

:35:10. > :35:16.we head to Rio. And Colin Jackson has been taking a closer look at the

:35:17. > :35:21.fantastic run her PB in Monaco. What have you seen about her progress

:35:22. > :35:27.this season That has impressed you? This is a phenomenal performance.

:35:28. > :35:31.She will get herself into that position where her mind is focussed.

:35:32. > :35:35.She's got a stride pattern she wants to work from. She is highlighted

:35:36. > :35:39.here for you. She works hard to the first hurdle to set herself up into

:35:40. > :35:45.her rhythm. Now, what she's looking down now is a stride pattern around

:35:46. > :35:49.15 strides, usually and hopefully for a six hurdles. Here, she managed

:35:50. > :35:55.to do it for five. Absolutely fine, because she has got good ground

:35:56. > :36:00.speed anyway. She is one of our fastest 400-metre flat runners as

:36:01. > :36:04.well. When she's in the relay she's under the 51 seconds mark. She

:36:05. > :36:08.changes, sets herself up nicely to take it on the left leg, so she can

:36:09. > :36:15.drive off this final curve. Works hard here. You can see good rhythm.

:36:16. > :36:20.Nobody else around here her comes to this barrier. You want her to push

:36:21. > :36:26.on. Fatigue is here. She chops down. This is where she loses her personal

:36:27. > :36:28.best and getting under that 54 seconds mark which is what she wants

:36:29. > :36:35.to do. Working hard. She's aggressive. I know in training she's

:36:36. > :36:39.managed to do that stride pattern correctly. I am hoping tonight, in

:36:40. > :36:43.good conditions, and with a good field around her, she can go under

:36:44. > :36:48.that 54-second mark. Thank you. That is psychologically

:36:49. > :36:52.so, so important, isn't it as she heads to Rio? Absolutely. It will be

:36:53. > :36:56.key for her to get that confidence. She is capable of it. She's done it

:36:57. > :37:00.before in training. Keep our fingers crossed. Chopped before the last

:37:01. > :37:05.hurdle - there is work to be done, which is brilliant because of the

:37:06. > :37:08.progress she's made so far. It is what all athletes strive for. They

:37:09. > :37:13.strive for perfection. It gives you that target. It gives you something

:37:14. > :37:18.to work for. For me, her prosecution over the last few years, the air of

:37:19. > :37:23.confidence you see in her face, in her eyes on that start line, she is

:37:24. > :37:26.focussed and means business. Steve, earlier you said some athletes will

:37:27. > :37:30.use tonight as a stepping stone. Others will look at this meet

:37:31. > :37:35.towards Rio. What do you think about her? I think she's very much

:37:36. > :37:39.focussed on Rio. She's in a different place to where she's ever

:37:40. > :37:43.been in her career. She has every chance of running her personal best.

:37:44. > :37:47.Chatting to her yesterday she is delighted with lane four. Actually

:37:48. > :37:51.she was in command with the technical meetings and there are

:37:52. > :37:55.arguments around who runs where. And for the first time in her life as an

:37:56. > :38:00.athlete was the one dictating which lane she had. She has chosen lane

:38:01. > :38:03.four. It is all about her. Of course, the Americans are very, very

:38:04. > :38:05.good. Let's not forget that. We have the quickest run in the world in the

:38:06. > :38:12.race as well, in lane six. She is Dalilah Muhammad, as you saw

:38:13. > :38:29.in that piece about Eilidh there. There are the rest of the athletes.

:38:30. > :38:32.We will go through them one by one. Pedroso has had a late start to her

:38:33. > :38:40.season, on the inside. Only one race. 57 seconds for the former

:38:41. > :38:46.Cuban, now running for Italy. She's somebody who is looking for races to

:38:47. > :38:50.get her ready for Rio. Definitely. Linkiewicz, she won silver at the

:38:51. > :38:55.European Championships in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago. A good

:38:56. > :39:02.performance from her there. Her best was in Warsaw, her home town.

:39:03. > :39:07.Americans have got real talent and this is somebody, Jaide Stepter - we

:39:08. > :39:10.have not seen too much of. Seventh in the American trials. Listen to

:39:11. > :39:23.the reception for Eilidh Doyle. Two wins in the Diamond League

:39:24. > :39:28.already this year. Will this be a third in front of her home crowd?

:39:29. > :39:34.She will have to beat these two good Americans. And Shamier Little, who

:39:35. > :39:38.is only 21 had a silver last year. Got it horribly wrong at the

:39:39. > :39:47.American trials. Not this young lady t three who represent the US,

:39:48. > :39:52.Muhammad, also Ashley Spencer and McGolan made it through, behind

:39:53. > :39:56.Muhammad, who has led the way in the American trials.

:39:57. > :40:01.Sara Petersen, the European champion, from Amsterdam. A great

:40:02. > :40:06.season last year for the Dane. Just missed out on a medal in Beijing.

:40:07. > :40:14.Nel, a very experienced South African. Trialled in fourth.

:40:15. > :40:19.Everybody was behind Eilidh Doyle in Monaco.

:40:20. > :40:26.Wells has been running well. Hasn't had a chance to get in many of the

:40:27. > :40:29.big meets. Was unbeaten in her 400-metre headle races throughout

:40:30. > :40:34.the season. -- hurdle races throughout the season.

:40:35. > :40:39.Dalilah Muhammad won silver in 2013. Had problems in 2014, 2015, really

:40:40. > :40:43.back to her best. If she can produce anything like her best, that will be

:40:44. > :40:48.very difficult for Eilidh Doyle to get on terms with. In that interview

:40:49. > :40:51.I said, are you, this idea of sticking to your stride patches,

:40:52. > :40:56.that is what I have to do -vy to concentrate on myself. If I get this

:40:57. > :41:01.right, I will run under 54 seconds, as Colin suggested. Once you run 53

:41:02. > :41:03.you are competing the likes of Muhammad. Let's see if she can do

:41:04. > :41:16.that tonight. The American champion, fastest in

:41:17. > :41:20.the world in lane six. Doyle in lane four. Between the two

:41:21. > :41:30.of them Shamier Little, of the USA. It is all about rhythm. All about

:41:31. > :41:34.hitting those stride patterns, not worrying about what is going on

:41:35. > :41:37.around you. They are competitive in the home straight. You can see how

:41:38. > :41:42.quickly Dalilah Muhammad has gone off. This is what Eilidh Doyle has

:41:43. > :41:48.to do here - not panic. Not get drawn into a race with her, stick to

:41:49. > :41:53.her race. Going well the first 200 metres. Muhammad is coming back to

:41:54. > :41:56.them. Shamier Little and Eilidh Doyle right there.

:41:57. > :42:00.She's hitting this right. Now it is about strength here. Holding it

:42:01. > :42:03.together. Muhammad, the American champion,

:42:04. > :42:05.Shamier Little and Eilidh Doyle, just about a metre or two between

:42:06. > :42:15.the three of them here. Muhammad... She just had to check

:42:16. > :42:25.Doyle. Coming through, but Muhammad streaks away in the end and Petersen

:42:26. > :42:31.coming fast. 53. 92. It was there. It was like Monaco until that last

:42:32. > :42:40.hurdle. Then she had to check. Lost more momentum. I would suggest that

:42:41. > :42:46.is what was going on at Monaco. Muhammad was really good off the

:42:47. > :42:50.last hurdle. She was struggling the two hurdles before that and then

:42:51. > :42:55.this young lady, the European champion finished strongly as well.

:42:56. > :43:00.Were we expecting too much? She's quality. There is much she can do. I

:43:01. > :43:04.hope what she will get from this, Steve s the difference it makes when

:43:05. > :43:09.you chop back. Because when she was there, ready for the attack and

:43:10. > :43:13.she's coming up to them now, hurdle eight, going into nine, she's there

:43:14. > :43:17.or thereabouts, she takes this well. And look how she's gaining on these

:43:18. > :43:21.women. All of a sudden, the brakes go on, check back and look at that,

:43:22. > :43:25.she gets drawn back by every single person in that field. When she goes

:43:26. > :43:34.home, she will watch this and feel and go, OK I can be up there close

:43:35. > :43:40.to that 53.9 mark. There were two good performances from Petersen and

:43:41. > :43:47.Nel. Seasons best. Muhammad is good. I think, obviously

:43:48. > :43:50.we will speak to Elidh in a moment. Let's talk about the American, she

:43:51. > :43:55.is the fastest in the world this year. That is not the best race we

:43:56. > :43:59.have seen from her. She is under pressure. Watch this last flight of

:44:00. > :44:04.hurdles. Over it and look how quickly she moves from the others.

:44:05. > :44:08.She has run a second faster than she has just produced here. When you

:44:09. > :44:12.talk about quality she has gone to 53 seconds. This American is full of

:44:13. > :44:17.running. You can see she's vulnerable. She's running at that 53

:44:18. > :44:23.mark. She is vulnerable. It is a mark of how far you have

:44:24. > :44:28.come that we are talking with a little disappointment about 54. 7.

:44:29. > :44:32.Until that last stumble that was a great race. There is a lot to work

:44:33. > :44:38.on. There is. I am really annoyed at myself. I made the same mistake in

:44:39. > :44:44.Monaco. I felt quite strong. I got tired in there.

:44:45. > :44:49.I lost my good position there. It has been a great season so far and

:44:50. > :44:54.you still have time to work on that last barrier and get that stride

:44:55. > :44:59.pattern correct for Rio. Exactly. It has been a hard few races recently.

:45:00. > :45:04.Hopefully I can go back into a bit of training. Iron out mistakes for

:45:05. > :45:11.Rio. Well, see you in Rio. Good work tonight. Thanks very much. Cheers.

:45:12. > :45:18.Just one more word on Dalilah Muhammad, Colin. She's got good

:45:19. > :45:21.speed as well, hasn't she? Hurdles well here. To me it was impressive

:45:22. > :45:33.this last 30 metres. If you remember in the days of

:45:34. > :45:38.Edwin, he flowed over the barriers. Muhammad is very similar.

:45:39. > :45:41.A really good win for her, continuing what is a very good

:45:42. > :45:56.season. Good to see her back to this form.

:45:57. > :46:03.Morgan Lake, 19 years of age has two tries at this height. She just saw

:46:04. > :46:10.Katarina Johnson-Thompson go clear. This, a third and final attempt.

:46:11. > :46:15.Lake xeeping in the high Julyin Rio could do -- high jump in Rio could

:46:16. > :46:21.do with this clearance. She gave that an absolute rattle. She knock

:46:22. > :46:25.today hard but it stays on. Morgan Lake has a new season's best by a

:46:26. > :46:33.centimetre. That's a great jump. Knocked it with

:46:34. > :46:37.her shoulders. Crash, bang, wallop of a jump. But it's a clearance and

:46:38. > :46:41.a season's best. Done the other end of the stadium

:46:42. > :46:43.it's taken an hour-and-a-half but the cream hasries ton the top, two

:46:44. > :46:58.men remain. Lavillenie a flawless card so far,

:46:59. > :47:08.as can you see. The bar is at 5. 90. He jumped over six metres in this

:47:09. > :47:16.stadium. He took the Olympic title. This first attempt is a good one. He

:47:17. > :47:27.knows that will be enough, it would seem for victory this evening,

:47:28. > :47:32.maybe. Kendrix will have to jump higher due to count back. Lavillenie

:47:33. > :47:38.flawless so far this evening. Talk about confidence boost. That's what

:47:39. > :47:42.it's all about ahead of Rio, clearance by some margin as well for

:47:43. > :47:51.the Frenchman. The flying Frenchman indeed. That's what it means to him.

:47:52. > :47:56.Let's look at it from the side. You get an idea of how far over he is.

:47:57. > :48:04.There's daylight. He's head and shoulders above the best of the rest

:48:05. > :48:15.of the world. He's brilliant. All right then, 1. 95, equal personal

:48:16. > :48:19.best. She's jumped 1. 97 in taking the UK indoor title earlier next

:48:20. > :48:24.year. It is one of her best events, this and long jump. Two of the seven

:48:25. > :48:36.she will contest in the heptathlon in Rio. Oh, yes! Johnson-Thompson

:48:37. > :48:43.has gone clear! Wow. Well, I tell you what, ahead of Rio, that's just

:48:44. > :48:48.what she would have wanted, a boost in confidence. Your strength has got

:48:49. > :48:52.to be good to carry whatever else goes on and daylight. There may be

:48:53. > :48:54.more to come. Brilliant clearance on the second

:48:55. > :49:01.time of asking for Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

:49:02. > :49:03.STUDIO: A huge personal best outdoors for Katarina

:49:04. > :49:09.Johnson-Thompson. A huge boost to confidence for her as she heads to

:49:10. > :49:13.Rio. It would be enormous in terms of points. She stuttered on the high

:49:14. > :49:18.jump in Beijing last year and bombed out on her long jumpment Name of the

:49:19. > :49:24.game at this stage, it's about your mind. It has to be focussed. It has

:49:25. > :49:29.to know what it's doing. This is one of her really strong events. She

:49:30. > :49:33.needs this to go well. We talk about Jess in the hurdles, how she needs

:49:34. > :49:38.to hurdle well. This is what she needs. Because she's a great high

:49:39. > :49:41.jumper. It's so early on in the programme as well, to get the points

:49:42. > :49:45.from world class high jumping it's so important for somebody who could

:49:46. > :49:48.be challenging the top three, certainly challenging for medals.

:49:49. > :49:52.Yes, she can challenge for medals. I think the thing that hopefully she's

:49:53. > :49:56.learned from last year, is things may not always go right. You have to

:49:57. > :50:00.rebound from that first. She may have an event in Rio out of all of

:50:01. > :50:06.the events that may not go according to plan. You've got to be able to

:50:07. > :50:09.rebound and score more points and have personal best performances to

:50:10. > :50:12.make up for that. I think what happened to her last year was she

:50:13. > :50:18.just started to Spiral, once things started to go wrong. The start list

:50:19. > :50:24.for the men's 800 metres. Let's go out to Andrew Cotter, your

:50:25. > :50:47.commentator for this one. Look out for Bosse and Rotich. Bram

:50:48. > :50:52.Som is a professional pacemaker, European champion ten years ago in

:50:53. > :50:57.his own right, but spends most of his time pacing in the Diamond

:50:58. > :51:01.League and does it well. Nijel Amos from Botswana. Struggled with injury

:51:02. > :51:12.this season. We're looking to see what form he's in. Still 22.

:51:13. > :51:20.Ferguson Cheruiyot Rotich. Wins in Shanghai and Stockholm. Second at

:51:21. > :51:23.the Kenyan Olympic trials. Pierre-Ambroise Bosse, can blow hot

:51:24. > :51:31.and cold. Only fifth at the European Championships. Some very impressive

:51:32. > :51:37.runs this season. So too Brandon McBride, youngest in the line-up.

:51:38. > :51:41.Regularly below 1. 45 this season. Sharing of lanes for Charles Jock,

:51:42. > :51:47.what a story for him and his family to reach this point, Sudanese

:51:48. > :51:52.refugee and now in the United States team for Rio. Fred Couples likes to

:51:53. > :52:01.-- Thijmen Kupers likes to take it out early. Erik Sowinski will not be

:52:02. > :52:07.there in Rio. Charlie Grice sharing a lane with Geoffrey Riseley the

:52:08. > :52:11.Australian. Grice impressive in Monaco.

:52:12. > :52:19.A good challenge for him to get involved in an 800 metres race. Mark

:52:20. > :52:26.English of Ireland goes on the inside. There is Ferguson Cheruiyot

:52:27. > :52:37.Rotich. He should be the man to beat here in

:52:38. > :52:42.the men's 800 metres. And Bosse just inside Rotich. Amos in the orange

:52:43. > :52:47.shirt just outside. Bram Som on the far outside has been asked to take

:52:48. > :52:53.it through in 50 seconds through 400 metres and then 1. 16 to 600. We'll

:52:54. > :52:58.see how quickly they go. Who can forget that wonderful race four

:52:59. > :53:04.years ago when Rodisha was the winner. They all strung out behind

:53:05. > :53:11.him. All lifetime best times. Juf a gap from Som. -- just. The young

:53:12. > :53:15.Canadian following closest. Bram Som doing the job he's been asked to do,

:53:16. > :53:19.pacing them along. There's not much interest in that. There really can't

:53:20. > :53:23.be three weeks before the Olympic Games. It's not about running fast

:53:24. > :53:29.times. It's just about establishing where you are. Rotich, the Kenyan,

:53:30. > :53:34.who beat David Rodisha in the Kenyan trials. Is this a man we're going to

:53:35. > :53:38.be looking at in a few weeks? Charlie Grice has impressed so far.

:53:39. > :53:44.Using this race for his Olympic 1500 metre attack. Bram Som doing well.

:53:45. > :53:50.Down the back straight, Charlie Grice starting to run well. Bosse

:53:51. > :53:56.takes over. Amos tries to lift the pace with that ragged style. McBride

:53:57. > :53:59.an elegant runner inside. But Bosse leading them out at the moment.

:54:00. > :54:03.McBride and Amos in close contention. Charles Jock all the way

:54:04. > :54:08.at the back. Charlie Grice is labouring a bit. Here comes Bosse.

:54:09. > :54:11.McBride trying to lift the pace. But it's Pierre-Ambroise Bosse coming

:54:12. > :54:13.through for the victory surely. McBride, does he still have

:54:14. > :54:17.something? He's closing a little bit. But he's not going to get

:54:18. > :54:23.there. And Bosse hangs on, hangs on just. From McBride and Ferguson

:54:24. > :54:27.Cheruiyot Rotich came through. Amos in fourth. But Pierre-Ambroise

:54:28. > :54:31.Bosse, well, had ewas closest to the pacemaker when Som stepped aside, he

:54:32. > :54:38.took it on. What a time he's run there. He did it the brave way, the

:54:39. > :54:41.hard way, from the front. They said he can blow hot and cold. Fifth at

:54:42. > :54:46.the European Championships. But he was in charge.

:54:47. > :54:50.There -- in charge there. I think that was disappointment. A good

:54:51. > :54:55.result for Bosse. A surprise result in some ways. He's got the talent.

:54:56. > :54:58.On the big occasion he doesn't quite do it. Tonight he ran a perfect

:54:59. > :55:02.race. Charlie Grice coming off the track there, he's having a look at

:55:03. > :55:05.the time now and he'll be delighted. But here's boss is into the

:55:06. > :55:10.finishing straight. McBride from Canada chasing him. Amos, the

:55:11. > :55:14.Olympic Silver Medallist, and Rotich, the man looking to do well

:55:15. > :55:19.in Rio, both fading a little. Bosse holds them off. McBride runs well.

:55:20. > :55:22.Rotich just comes through and finishing on the screen you can see

:55:23. > :55:26.coming into shot at the back, there's Charlie Grice coming into

:55:27. > :55:34.the finishing straight. He'll be delighted with this. What a perfect

:55:35. > :55:38.time to run for him. A personal best for Charlie Grice. When he goes to

:55:39. > :55:41.Rio for the 1500 metres, he won't be contending with these guys, but he

:55:42. > :55:45.has a lot of confidence coming from that. There's Bosse. Very, very good

:55:46. > :55:51.performance. McBride looks impressive. Amos clearly struggling

:55:52. > :55:55.in third place and Rotich just overtaking him. These two on the way

:55:56. > :55:59.through, running well, running strongly. There's Rotich into third

:56:00. > :56:04.place. He'll be disappointed. There they come through. There's Charlie

:56:05. > :56:08.Grice about eighth place, but for him Eric terrific performance -- for

:56:09. > :56:13.him, a terrific performance. That's a perfect night for him. Bosse wins

:56:14. > :56:18.it. McBride second. Surprises behind. For me the run of the night

:56:19. > :56:26.and a great one for Great Britain, Charlie Grice. Confirmation of that

:56:27. > :56:29.and so far down the field, it rather gives a false impression for Charlie

:56:30. > :56:39.Grice. He's not on the first page there. Very impressive win for

:56:40. > :56:46.Bosse. If we can move it on to the next page, you'll see the time of

:56:47. > :56:50.Charlie Grice, the man who is a 1500 runner and here he shows the pace

:56:51. > :57:02.that he has. He will go to Rio in very good heart.

:57:03. > :57:09.STUDIO: At 9. 15pm we have the final of the women's 100m hurdles. Jessica

:57:10. > :57:21.Ennis-Hill was in the first heat. Cleanly away. Rawlins leading them

:57:22. > :57:27.at the moment. Porter there. Jessica Ennis-Hill is there as well. What a

:57:28. > :57:30.run. The slightest breeze helping. But

:57:31. > :57:33.that will be quick from Jessica Ennis-Hill. Two things to look for

:57:34. > :57:39.there, who won the race, who qualified and the time of Jessica

:57:40. > :57:43.Ennis-Hill. She's smiling. Porter was there for a while. I think that

:57:44. > :57:48.is a race to be very, very pleased with for Jess Ennis-Hill.

:57:49. > :57:54.STUDIO: She's looking in great form. By far her quickest time this year.

:57:55. > :57:59.I'm sure an inspiration to British athletes. Seren Bundy-Davies is in

:58:00. > :58:05.the studio. Must be fantastic having her in the team. Yeah, since

:58:06. > :58:08.watching her from 2012, it's great for the younger athletes to see her,

:58:09. > :58:12.especially after having a baby. Let's speak about your performance

:58:13. > :58:19.in the 400 metres. I have a man here who knows a thing or two. Let's have

:58:20. > :58:23.a look at your race. Michael? I think tell us about how you felt

:58:24. > :58:27.about the race tonight, first. You were in lane eight, that's a tough

:58:28. > :58:31.place to be. Were there nerves knowing what you have lined up

:58:32. > :58:35.behind you? In nine I was always out on my own. Hi to run my own race. I

:58:36. > :58:42.knew the girls would come up on me at some point. I just tried to pace

:58:43. > :58:48.it like I would a normal 400 metre race. I need to watch it back I

:58:49. > :58:53.think. You got out well here. It's a world class field behind you. They

:58:54. > :58:58.haven't made up much ground. Natasha Hastings is always going to get a

:58:59. > :59:01.fast start. She's starting to make a little bit a dent in the lead that

:59:02. > :59:04.you had. How did you feel at 200 metres, did you feel like you were

:59:05. > :59:09.exactly where you wanted to be in terms of your race plan? Yeah, I

:59:10. > :59:12.know Hastings goes out hard. I wanted to stay relaxed through 200

:59:13. > :59:19.and work the top bend. They did get away from me a bit. Unfortunately,

:59:20. > :59:23.you can see everyone now. What's your plan at this point on the way

:59:24. > :59:26.home, obviously you want to just run the best time you can run. Yeah,

:59:27. > :59:32.hold my form and yeah, hold it together for whatever I could. It

:59:33. > :59:36.was tough from lane nine. As far as times and against a field like that,

:59:37. > :59:39.this was an amazing opportunity for you. Do you feel you did what you

:59:40. > :59:44.needed to do? No, not really. I'm disappointed with the run. I might

:59:45. > :59:49.get lane nine in Rio. I need to be prepared to run from whatever lane.

:59:50. > :59:53.I can build from it and hopefully get the experience. Remarkably,

:59:54. > :59:56.you're the only Welsh athlete, I believe, in the British squad,

:59:57. > :00:00.holding it up for Wales. You may have done well in the euros but not

:00:01. > :00:05.quite representing athletics in the way we'd like in the British team.

:00:06. > :00:09.It's disappointing that such a small Welsh team. Lots of young junior

:00:10. > :00:12.athletes coming through. A lot of younger athletes will be in the next

:00:13. > :00:17.Olympics. That's nice to see as well. Yeah, hopefully I can bring us

:00:18. > :00:21.home a medal. Best of luck. And of course, the relay as well is very

:00:22. > :00:31.strong. You did so well in the worlds as well. We'll be watching

:00:32. > :00:43.you. The historic mile is about to get going.

:00:44. > :00:59.Thomas Lancashire, the two of them not going to Rio. One man who is.

:01:00. > :01:16.Bayer will be in the steeplechase. The Kenyans to watch out for Kiptoo,

:01:17. > :01:25.perhaps Magut. Not the biggest names from Kenya.

:01:26. > :01:35.So, the Emsley Carr Mile, full of tradition and history. All the way

:01:36. > :01:40.back to 19 53. So many great British athletes have won it over the years.

:01:41. > :01:42.I have to get retaliation in first. I know I haven't before Brendan says

:01:43. > :01:56.it. Many have won it over the years.

:01:57. > :02:00.This was the race when it was done at White City, the crowds would come

:02:01. > :02:04.and watch it. They would go to Crystal Palace. Here we have an

:02:05. > :02:08.enormous crowd watching the 64th running of this race, it was named

:02:09. > :02:16.after the editor of the News of the World. They support athletics for

:02:17. > :02:20.many years. In the history of great distance

:02:21. > :02:28.running is unfurled in this race when you look at the results. Two

:02:29. > :02:33.pacemakers in the orange vests. 57 for the first 400 metres. Pretty

:02:34. > :02:38.good pace. You can see Chris O'Hare on the back, straight from the off.

:02:39. > :02:39.That is good to see really, an aggressive first 400 metres from

:02:40. > :02:49.O'Hare. Cheruiyot, just 20 years of age. Got

:02:50. > :02:53.that kind of, almost hunched style if you like.

:02:54. > :03:00.Elijah Kipchirchir Kiptoo, not running as well as in previous

:03:01. > :03:06.years. Cheruiyot moves into the gap between

:03:07. > :03:10.himself or the gap he has allowed to dwap between himself and the

:03:11. > :03:15.pacemakers. Training with the British squad. Mo

:03:16. > :03:23.Farah and everybody up there. They have popped down to London, and they

:03:24. > :03:30.will be going out to Rio. Decent pace, the pacemakers are.

:03:31. > :03:34.1. 56 through 800 metres and there, third place on the inside and

:03:35. > :03:39.running a strong race and aggressively, which I think he has

:03:40. > :03:42.to do this, Chris O'Hare. He needs a confidence-booster from this event.

:03:43. > :03:47.He needs this before he goes to Rio. He needs to think, I am on the top

:03:48. > :03:49.of my form. These athletes are looking for little bits of

:03:50. > :03:56.information, about their training progress. Here the mile, not run as

:03:57. > :04:02.often these days. Personal bests are available in this race. Especially

:04:03. > :04:05.the pace they are going at. The pacemakers are ignored, which is

:04:06. > :04:10.sensible. And Thomas Lancashire moving through in fifth place, in

:04:11. > :04:15.the blue and yellow vest. Chris O'Hare has loths his position.

:04:16. > :04:21.Unusual for him -- lost has position. Unusual for him.

:04:22. > :04:28.Lancashire, Bayer on the outside. Wightman looking for room. Chris

:04:29. > :04:31.O'Hare struggling now. As the pacemakers step aside... Cheruiyot.

:04:32. > :04:50.Kiplagat. Embaye running well. O'Hare has gone

:04:51. > :04:55.out the back door as Lancashire stretches down the back straight. An

:04:56. > :05:03.impressive run from Jake Wightman. He's got power in him.

:05:04. > :05:04.Kiptoo trying to hold off the youngster, Cheruiyot is there. Look

:05:05. > :05:22.at Jake Wightman. Kiplagat finds a little bit extra.

:05:23. > :05:29.Kiplagat wins. Cheruiyot, second. Jake Wightman, fourth. The fast

:05:30. > :05:39.finishing Swede, Rogestedt, in fifth place. A great race at the front.

:05:40. > :05:43.Elijah Kipchirchir Kiptoo has not had a great -- Silas Kiplagat has

:05:44. > :05:48.not had a great year. On his day, he is one of the best Kenya have ever

:05:49. > :05:53.had. He would have been delighted to have form. Little r late for him in

:05:54. > :05:59.terms of -- a little late for him in terms of Rio.

:06:00. > :06:03.The three powerful Kenyans, sprinting in the finishing straight.

:06:04. > :06:09.Jake Wightman judged this race properly. Judged it perfectly. A

:06:10. > :06:14.personal best of 3.57 for young Jake Wightman. He's come out with a real

:06:15. > :06:18.bonus. 3.54 or less than that. Looking at it from here. We will get

:06:19. > :06:27.the official time in a moment. There they go into the straight.

:06:28. > :06:33.Cheruiyot... Challenging. Kiplagat powering there. The three Kenyans,

:06:34. > :06:41.strong enough and bold enough and there Jake Wightman, 3:54.2. . What

:06:42. > :06:46.a terrific performance. Kiplagat we have seen him among the

:06:47. > :06:52.greats and the pleasure of signing that famous book.

:06:53. > :07:03.He's won it before. This is his second time. There, Kiplagat signs

:07:04. > :07:07.the famous book. The 64th running of the Emsley Carr Mile.

:07:08. > :07:20.Being presented accordingly. The mile should be encouraged. It

:07:21. > :07:27.was a great performance there by Kiplagat. I thought young Jake

:07:28. > :07:31.Wightman, an impressive performance. Well done Jake Wightman. A personal

:07:32. > :07:35.best. Brilliant to see the history and

:07:36. > :07:38.tradition being upheld in this incredibly modern and forward

:07:39. > :07:42.thinking time and league meet here at the Olympic Stadium. Well, I hear

:07:43. > :07:45.that Colin is out and about somewhere. We don't normally get to

:07:46. > :07:55.see him here. Where could he be? I have been handed this piece of

:07:56. > :07:58.paper, the women's 100 metres final and Jessica Ennis-Hill has done a

:07:59. > :08:03.tremendous job in making this final. This is the super quality, when we

:08:04. > :08:07.talk about what these athletes are capable of? Will we see a world

:08:08. > :08:12.record? The athletes are capable of it. It is the final bit as they go

:08:13. > :08:16.into this final room here, they will settle themselves in the room and

:08:17. > :08:18.get prepared for that final challenge. It is the final of the

:08:19. > :08:48.women's 100 metres hurdles. This will be a new British record if

:08:49. > :08:52.she goes clear. It was another reasonable attempt. Possibly the

:08:53. > :08:55.best of her three, but a big confidence boost for her, as we

:08:56. > :09:01.said. A brilliant performance. An outdoor

:09:02. > :09:09.lifetime best. She will long jump tomorrow against Jessica Ennis-Hill.

:09:10. > :09:16.That is 198, remember. A bit of a clatter. The good news is she's got

:09:17. > :09:21.her springs back. A PB, a personal best, 1.95. . A

:09:22. > :09:33.good job. Lavillenie then looking to cap off a

:09:34. > :09:38.solid performance this evening. 5.97. This to match the height he

:09:39. > :09:44.cleared for gold. Not to be tonight. I was going to say the height he

:09:45. > :09:50.cleared to make gold, in 2012. Appreciative of the support.

:09:51. > :10:06.But, as ever, the pole vault ends in a foul, but a win for Lavillenie.

:10:07. > :10:11.Beitia, the recently crowned champion for the third time, looking

:10:12. > :10:18.very focussed. But carrying two fouls. Has to go clear. Oh, she

:10:19. > :10:24.seemed to salvage that and it is a great clearance for Beitia.

:10:25. > :10:28.Michael Johnson talked about athletes coming behind Russian

:10:29. > :10:35.athletes. She was fourth in this stadium, London 2012, behind two

:10:36. > :10:45.Russians. So, Beitia, of Spain, well, good luck to her ahead of Rio.

:10:46. > :10:49.And a week tonight, season's best for the Spanish athletes. A good

:10:50. > :10:53.clearance, with the slightest of rattles.

:10:54. > :11:08.Absolutely brilliant. 1.98. It is a glorious night here in the

:11:09. > :11:11.East End of London. And in 39 minutes, Usain Bolt will set the

:11:12. > :11:16.atmosphere crackling, just that little bit more. The Bolt-clock is

:11:17. > :11:20.on. The great man is competing in the 200 metres here just before

:11:21. > :11:25.10pm. His first competitive 200 metres of the year. A gold medal he

:11:26. > :11:29.hopes to retain in Rio, in three weeks' time.

:11:30. > :11:36.Another Olympic great getting ready to go in the final of the 100 metres

:11:37. > :11:40.hurdle is Jessica Ennis-Hill, who posted 12.74 earlier this evening in

:11:41. > :11:45.her heat. She will hope she's with the best of the best. The other heat

:11:46. > :11:55.was quicker. She can go quicker herself. She was denied running well

:11:56. > :11:58.in her last race. The conditions are primed for a good race. A great,

:11:59. > :12:03.great competition. Just what she needs to get her mind where she

:12:04. > :12:07.needs it. She is such a strong competitor.

:12:08. > :12:12.She will want to use this. They all have their favourite events, don't

:12:13. > :12:16.they? This is the start - it is her favourite. It is fantastic for her.

:12:17. > :12:22.She will know where she wants to be and what she wants to take with her

:12:23. > :12:27.on the plane to Rio in terms of times and performances. This is not

:12:28. > :12:31.the event she's participating in the Olympics. It is one of the events,

:12:32. > :12:33.one of her best ones. She has the opportunity to compete against some

:12:34. > :12:38.of the best in the world that are in this race tonight. And this also is

:12:39. > :12:45.so fantastic for her, that this is one of her best events because it

:12:46. > :12:51.starts off the whole heptathlon. She will want to run a really fast

:12:52. > :12:56.time here tonight. It is a great track for her. It could not be a

:12:57. > :13:04.more perfect condition for her to produce a really fast time tonight.

:13:05. > :13:07.She went into the chasmships in bay -- championships in Beijing after

:13:08. > :13:11.the birth of her son. She had not really tested herself as much as she

:13:12. > :13:14.had in the build-up to London. She's had that extra year of training now.

:13:15. > :13:19.She looks different to the athlete we saw in Beijing. She does. She is

:13:20. > :13:24.stronger. She has had issues this season, with minor tears. So it has

:13:25. > :13:29.not been an ideal preparation. Her experience allows her to say, look,

:13:30. > :13:33.I will choose my competitions wisedly and only compete when I am

:13:34. > :13:37.ready and so, she will put down a marker and this is why the

:13:38. > :13:43.heptathlon is so great in this event for her. She puts down the marker

:13:44. > :13:53.and everybody has to chase. In The Stadium tonight one of her main

:13:54. > :13:58.rivals says she will score more points than her when she gets it

:13:59. > :14:02.right. She is still there, pushing the barriers, pushing all of us to

:14:03. > :14:07.be the very, very best. We expect a great race. Andrew Cotter.

:14:08. > :14:13.And Jessica Ennis-Hill has been given the same lane as in 2012 when

:14:14. > :14:19.she ran 12.54. What a line-up against her. The strength of the

:14:20. > :14:22.Americans. They have had a couple of Jamaicans. They have such strength

:14:23. > :14:33.in this event and have for many years.

:14:34. > :14:39.Tiffany Porter goes for Great Britain as well. She had to go

:14:40. > :14:44.second best to Jessica Ennis-Hill. Zagre on the inside. The Belgian

:14:45. > :14:49.champion. There were some quick times in the heats.

:14:50. > :14:54.Tiffany Porter is just a couple of tenths of a seconds down from her

:14:55. > :15:01.best. She has been competent this year

:15:02. > :15:05.without set heather on fire. -- setting the heather on fire.

:15:06. > :15:09.Talay is here to compete in the final.

:15:10. > :15:15.Stowers, we talk about the US trials and she fell at the last hurdle at

:15:16. > :15:24.the trials. In contention for second or third place.

:15:25. > :15:26.Nia Ali won her heat this evening. Rollins hit the heat pretty hard.

:15:27. > :15:31.There is Harrison. you. The historic mile is about to

:15:32. > :15:43.get going. Pearson will not be in Rio after

:15:44. > :15:51.tearing her hamstring. There is Rollins. They see her on the big

:15:52. > :16:01.screen and start to cheer. CHEERING If she can run close to her

:16:02. > :16:19.time from the heats, she'll be pleased. Castlin in lane nine.

:16:20. > :16:27.You know that Harrison in lane six, she feels she has a point to prove.

:16:28. > :16:39.Made 12. 40 look so comfortable in the heats. She goes there.

:16:40. > :17:05.All of America in four, five, six, seven. Ennis-Hill in eight.

:17:06. > :17:15.Cleanly away. Ali there. Harrison into a slight lead. Oh, and down

:17:16. > :17:26.goes StowerS here comes Harrison fly. 12. 58, not quite as quick.

:17:27. > :17:30.She won by a huge margin. She says once again, you'll be missing me in

:17:31. > :17:37.Rio. I am number one. That is the nature of the US trials.

:17:38. > :17:41.Here tonight in London, she has won. Well, it has been with a clock, the

:17:42. > :17:50.clock has been corrected, I thought it was faster. Look at the clock now

:17:51. > :17:57.- it is a new world record! And the ancient record has gone. Harrison

:17:58. > :18:03.will not be at the Olympics, but she is the world record holder of the

:18:04. > :18:08.100m hurdles. London rises to her. One of the oldest marks in the book

:18:09. > :18:13.has gone. It's gone to Kendra Harrison. I was sitting next to

:18:14. > :18:17.Steve Cram and as we were watching this race, I said, this is quick. No

:18:18. > :18:23.doubt about it. Then when we saw the clock at 12. 57, we had a bit of

:18:24. > :18:30.dismay. It looks like she's dipped under that clock and the second time

:18:31. > :18:35.was given. What a performance. Right at the beginning, I did introduce

:18:36. > :18:38.when we were down in the call room, the quality of the field. Knowing

:18:39. > :18:45.that this young lady has the ability. We saw her cruise through

:18:46. > :18:49.the first rounds. 12. 40 looking easy and steady. And she just went

:18:50. > :18:54.for it in the final. What a race. We're all deprived of her in Rio.

:18:55. > :18:58.Hurdles is one of the things, it shouldn't be like this in the

:18:59. > :19:01.hurdles. I know that's the nature of the US trials. She has some

:19:02. > :19:09.compensation tonight. But it is a real shame that she will not be in

:19:10. > :19:14.Rio. She is the world record holder. That record set, goes back to 1988.

:19:15. > :19:17.This crowd has been treated with a phenomenal performance. What a

:19:18. > :19:26.really, really landmark performance from her. 12. 20 and as you said,

:19:27. > :19:31.taking that world record, phenomenal performance by this young lady. We

:19:32. > :19:37.all watched and thought, that time is surely quicker than 12. 57. She

:19:38. > :19:42.went under and Rollins came through in second place at 12. 57. Almost

:19:43. > :19:48.four tenths of a second behind Harrison. That is athletics history

:19:49. > :19:51.made tonight in London. She's full of emotion, look hat

:19:52. > :19:54.that. She cannot believe what's happened here in London town. Let's

:19:55. > :19:59.watch it. Explodes out of the blocks. A clean

:20:00. > :20:04.first hurdles. Looks like she falls off the barrier. She runs after that

:20:05. > :20:10.trail leg so aggressively. This is a world class field. She's destroying

:20:11. > :20:13.them. Look at the margin of victory. Worked hard all the way through. Can

:20:14. > :20:19.you see with that dip, which we didn't see in the first round how

:20:20. > :20:24.she managed to go under the photo finish. All action going on around

:20:25. > :20:27.her, but she kept her head. World record performance. It's always

:20:28. > :20:34.great to witness history and we saw it here in London. Saw her run 12.

:20:35. > :20:37.24 earlier this year and got close to the old record. 12. 20 tonight.

:20:38. > :20:43.We knew the track was quick. We knew she was quick. But that is a

:20:44. > :20:51.world-class field. She has that gap, that lead over, an astonishing run

:20:52. > :20:53.by Kendra Harrison. Unfortunately, Jess Ennis-Hill didn't live up to

:20:54. > :20:59.what we were hoping she could do. She was in a field, she will

:21:00. > :21:02.remember this. She may have won the Olympic Games here, but she saw the

:21:03. > :21:08.world record run and she was in that race.

:21:09. > :21:12.Well, she didn't think she has h it. We didn't think, they ought Saul it

:21:13. > :21:18.and said to her, there you are, world record holder. What a very

:21:19. > :21:27.special moment and a very, very old record has gone from the books. 28

:21:28. > :21:33.years it has lasted, but now that mark has gone. Kendra Harrison is

:21:34. > :21:38.the world record holder. You have taken our breath away with

:21:39. > :21:43.that performance, just a phenomenal run. We can see the emotion in your

:21:44. > :21:46.eyes. Yeah, you know, not making the Olympic team I was really upset. I

:21:47. > :21:52.wanted to come out here and do what I know I could have done. My coach

:21:53. > :21:56.has been behind me this whole time. I'd like to thank God I'm healthy. I

:21:57. > :22:00.was coming out here with a vengeance to show these girls what I have. You

:22:01. > :22:04.were so dignified after what happened in the trials. There was a

:22:05. > :22:09.massive amount of sympathy for you coming here, 12. 4 in the heat and

:22:10. > :22:12.then maybe we got an indication that something very, very special was

:22:13. > :22:17.possible. Is that how you felt after running 12. 4 and looking so easy?

:22:18. > :22:22.Yeah, after running 12. 4 it got my confidence back. You have one bad

:22:23. > :22:30.day. I knew I still had it in me. I put my faith in God and ran as hard

:22:31. > :22:33.as I could today. You've broken a 28--year-old world record, it's the

:22:34. > :22:37.most amazing way for you to bounce back from heartache. You're not in

:22:38. > :22:42.Rio, but you've proven tonight that you are a great, great champion.

:22:43. > :22:45.Thank you. You know, I'm at a loss for words right now. I trained so

:22:46. > :22:51.hard for this moment. Good luck to the girls running in Rio. I'm just

:22:52. > :22:55.shocked right now. After you finish celebrating, will you make us a

:22:56. > :22:59.promise, make that team next year and come back here for the World

:23:00. > :23:11.Championships in London in 2017, we'd love to see you. I'll be back.

:23:12. > :23:16.Moments don't come much more special than that. Look at the face, the

:23:17. > :23:20.reaction and the joy. Can it make up though, in any way, for the fact

:23:21. > :23:24.that she won't be there in Rio. She takes the world record away from

:23:25. > :23:28.London but we're going to miss her brilliance in Rio, Michael. If I

:23:29. > :23:32.were angry before, when I saw her in the heat, I'm now incandescent.

:23:33. > :23:36.Yeah, but the thing is, I mean, I said to Denise right before that

:23:37. > :23:40.race, I said, she's out here to break a world record to make up for

:23:41. > :23:44.that. There are two things that every track and field athlete wants,

:23:45. > :23:48.Olympic Gold Medal, Olympic champion and you want a world record. She's

:23:49. > :23:52.already got one and she's still at the very beginning of her career.

:23:53. > :23:57.She has so much ahead of her. Will that make up for it? Absolutely.

:23:58. > :24:01.World records are special. That record stood for 28 years. Someone's

:24:02. > :24:05.going to be Olympic champion next year. Someone will be Olympic

:24:06. > :24:08.champion in 2020. This record could stand for another 28 years. That is

:24:09. > :24:13.one of the things in terms of your resume that you want at the top -

:24:14. > :24:18.world record holder. Now Kendra Harrison can say she is world record

:24:19. > :24:21.holder. When people look back on careers and greatness it's one of

:24:22. > :24:29.the things you are measured by. Yes, you have. Gold Medals is why we get

:24:30. > :24:34.into the Games. We looked into her eyes and we could see how much she

:24:35. > :24:40.wanted it. You can see her flawless deck neeck. She demonstrated that

:24:41. > :24:46.right here. Every sinew of her body drove her to the line. OK, her speed

:24:47. > :24:52.is incredible. Just see her dead centre. All the chaos around her.

:24:53. > :24:58.Nobody on her shoaleder to push her. She runs her own race. Rollins is

:24:59. > :25:03.one of the best in the world. Look at what she does to the best

:25:04. > :25:07.hurdlers in the world. She's almost a hurdle ahead. When I saw that time

:25:08. > :25:12.come up, I was shocked, because I was like, 12. 50 - come on, can't

:25:13. > :25:16.be. Because you could just see. I've never seen a race like that. We've

:25:17. > :25:22.seen lots of hurdle races but that was flawless and now she knows it

:25:23. > :25:27.and yes, Gaby, that makes up for it. I'm so happy for her. This is going

:25:28. > :25:32.to be a long, difficult summer without that, but that makes it a

:25:33. > :25:40.lot better for her. I love Lee low's face as well -- I love Ali ace face

:25:41. > :25:44.as well. You're competing against each other but that's a moment in

:25:45. > :25:48.time. If her record lives for half as long, maybe 14 years, this is her

:25:49. > :25:54.cementing her place in hurdling history. Absolutely. We have seen

:25:55. > :25:59.Pearson come close. We've seen Rollins at one stage think that she

:26:00. > :26:02.was going to break it. To do it after the disappointment of not

:26:03. > :26:09.making the Olympic team, it's all the more special. She's certainly an

:26:10. > :26:13.incredible athlete. She's lit up this stadium tonight. It was already

:26:14. > :26:17.cackling with enthusiasm and excitement that will see Usain Bolt

:26:18. > :26:22.later. We will get back on with the action now. There's been a slight

:26:23. > :26:25.delay in proceedings here while everybody soaks up what happened and

:26:26. > :26:34.what they've seen here tonight. Let's get back down to the action.

:26:35. > :26:39.It's the women's 1500 metres. That's our pacemaker Chanelle Price.

:26:40. > :26:44.She will be asked to set a good pace for Laura Muir, who is in great

:26:45. > :26:56.form. We will hope she can compete in Rio. Hassan has had injury

:26:57. > :27:02.problems this year. Stephanie Twell. The Australian, Linden Hall, who's

:27:03. > :27:09.had a cracking year this year. Laura Weightman will join Laura Muir at

:27:10. > :27:20.the Olympics. Bought bought from Sweden, again -- Bahta from Sweden.

:27:21. > :27:27.Morgan Uceny. Maureen Koster from the Netherlands and Axumawit Embaye

:27:28. > :27:32.on the inside. Charlene Thomas was due to run, but sadly taken ill.

:27:33. > :27:39.Still 15 athletes in the field. The women's 1500 metres.

:27:40. > :27:42.The likes of the two British remembertives in Rio --

:27:43. > :27:47.representatives in Rio, a good opportunity to get a confidence

:27:48. > :27:51.boosting performance in. Chanelle Price has been asked to

:27:52. > :27:57.take them through in the round to eight. She's experienced at that.

:27:58. > :28:03.Not surprisingly Laura Muir has slotted straight in behind her,

:28:04. > :28:07.means business. A great run in Oslo, Paula, and Laura Weightman and Laura

:28:08. > :28:11.Muir got into a messy race in Stockholm. They'll be hoping that

:28:12. > :28:14.doesn't happen tonight. The pacemaker went out and everybody

:28:15. > :28:17.gathered together. I suspect we might see the two of them trying to

:28:18. > :28:24.clear out a bit more tonight. Yeah, I think so. Chanelle Price is very

:28:25. > :28:29.experienced. She was the pace maker in Monaco last year. She knows how

:28:30. > :28:33.to run an even paced couple of laps which they need to string out the

:28:34. > :28:37.field. You need this to be strung out. Laura Muir is running

:28:38. > :28:42.positively and Laura Weightman moving up to get onto her shoulder.

:28:43. > :28:46.Behind that Linden Hall running so well. And Amanda Ecclestone into

:28:47. > :28:52.fourth place. One of the heart breaking, another one missed out on

:28:53. > :28:56.Olympic selection, probably the story of the US trials. She's

:28:57. > :29:05.running to capitalise because she's in this year and to come out and

:29:06. > :29:09.race the rest of the season. Sifan Hassan starting to move closer. She

:29:10. > :29:14.had such a brilliant last couple of years, with one or two, well a big

:29:15. > :29:17.injury problem with the hamstring since the world Indoor Championships

:29:18. > :29:21.in March. Starting to come back to form now. A gap appearing here.

:29:22. > :29:27.Laura Muir hangs onto Chanelle Price. The others look reticent to

:29:28. > :29:36.go after Laura Muir. That gap is being created. Hassan has decided

:29:37. > :29:41.she's after the Scot. It's a reasonably quick pace here. Hassan

:29:42. > :29:49.is moving quickly. She recognises the danger. Laura Muir has done this

:29:50. > :29:53.before, going out hard behind the pacemaker and carried it through in

:29:54. > :29:56.Oslo. We've seen that. She has the capability to do that. Sifan Hassan

:29:57. > :30:02.recognising now and moving up to close the gap. Laura Weightman, just

:30:03. > :30:10.a few places further back there. Working to close the gap as is

:30:11. > :30:15.Maureen Koster. Laura Muir leading, Sifan Hassan, then Laura Weightman

:30:16. > :30:18.in fourth place. Koster moving up. Laura Muir putting her foot down and

:30:19. > :30:24.trying to move away from the field. Only Hassan going with her. Sifan

:30:25. > :30:27.Hassan, the world indoor champion, struggling with these injuries. Now

:30:28. > :30:31.starting to come back to her best. These two well clear. Weightman

:30:32. > :30:35.moves no third with Bahta of Sweden coming up. Laura Muir attacking this

:30:36. > :30:37.from the front. The crowd trying to lift her. These two a good ten

:30:38. > :30:52.metres clear of the field. Jake Wightman has raced 800 metres.

:30:53. > :30:56.-- Laura Weightman has raced 800 metres. She knows who is sat on her

:30:57. > :31:02.shoulder. She knows she's in shape this year. She has the capability

:31:03. > :31:05.this year. It is really am impressive running

:31:06. > :31:11.from Laura Muir. Down the back straight, she has opened. Look at

:31:12. > :31:16.the grit she is showing here. Her teeth bared as she fights to pull

:31:17. > :31:19.away from Sifan Hassan. She is managing to do it. It is a stunning

:31:20. > :31:24.run. Sifan Hassan gives it up. She is

:31:25. > :31:29.well clear in second place, but Laura Muir, coming into the home

:31:30. > :31:33.straight and this is a massive performance from her. She is heading

:31:34. > :31:39.for a quick time here as well. She's got this race won. That is for

:31:40. > :31:50.sure. And Laura Muir - a long, long way ahead. A massive performance.

:31:51. > :31:56.5:57.51 and that is a new British record, I think. If it gets

:31:57. > :32:02.confirmed, Kelly Holmes has been obliterated from the best of all

:32:03. > :32:10.time British athletes by Laura Muir, of Scotland and Great Britain. The

:32:11. > :32:18.23 23-year-old was so strong on that last lap. Yes, it is a record.

:32:19. > :32:21.But have you ever seen, Paula, the strength, coupled with the speed,

:32:22. > :32:30.obviously. She was aggressive from the start and what a reward for her.

:32:31. > :32:35.3.57. . 49. It is official. A new British record for Laura Muir.

:32:36. > :32:38.Absolutely brilliant. That was a really great run. It is so good to

:32:39. > :32:42.see her getting the enjoyment from that as well. She really worked hard

:32:43. > :32:46.for. That we said at the beginning oh this programme, what a phenomenal

:32:47. > :32:51.talent she is and the capabilities she has to take that step up to a

:32:52. > :32:54.medallist at the Olympic Games. She has really underlined that here

:32:55. > :32:58.tonight and the manner which she did it address well. The way she worked

:32:59. > :33:04.hard -- as well. The way she worked hard. Maybe this year Sifan is not

:33:05. > :33:06.as strong as previous years. She has suffered with injuries at the

:33:07. > :33:10.beginning of the season. Around this bend, look at the determination on

:33:11. > :33:18.the face of Laura Muir and there's the look back from Sifan.

:33:19. > :33:24.There's no going back to Laura Muir, who has the crowd on their feet,

:33:25. > :33:29.roaring her on. They maybe didn't realise she was going to eclipse the

:33:30. > :33:34.record of Kelly Holmes. She would not have done until she crossed the

:33:35. > :33:40.line. You can see how she's pulling her body towards that line, trying

:33:41. > :33:46.to get every last inch out of it. She will be glad she's beaten Sifan

:33:47. > :33:50.Hassan. It will hit her later how fast she has run.

:33:51. > :33:57.Laura Weightman was fourth in a season's best.

:33:58. > :34:01.Eilish McColgan, nearly as quick as her mum, who ran a quick 1500 many,

:34:02. > :34:08.many years ago. She will be desighted with that. -- delighted

:34:09. > :34:13.with that. They all have their reasons to be pleased, but no more

:34:14. > :34:22.than Laura Muir. The new British record holder, quicker than Kelly

:34:23. > :34:24.Holmes. Laura Muir, 3.57. 59. So brave, so bold, so confident.

:34:25. > :34:32.Absolutely amazing. Laura, you had to ask me, it was a

:34:33. > :34:35.British record, wasn't it? And the confirmation from Steve in the

:34:36. > :34:40.commentary box and everyone around The Stadium, yes, you have beaten

:34:41. > :34:45.the mark held by Kelly Holmes. What a run. I knew I was in good shape. I

:34:46. > :34:49.wanted to go out there and do it justice. I wanted to test myself and

:34:50. > :34:54.see what I would do. I thought I was about four minutes, but to get the

:34:55. > :34:58.record, I am so shocked. I am just, yeah... You went early and looked

:34:59. > :35:03.brilliant down the back straight with 250 to go. You pulled away from

:35:04. > :35:06.Hassan. Could you feel the energy of the crowd willing you on? You were

:35:07. > :35:13.getting an incredible response? Definitely. To be on home soil is

:35:14. > :35:19.amazing, but to run at the Olympic Stadium is amazing.

:35:20. > :35:24.When you have finished celebrating about tonight there is the prospect

:35:25. > :35:28.of Rio and this confirms you are, without doubt n the shape of your

:35:29. > :35:32.life, and there will be a big opportunity for you in Brazil. Yes,

:35:33. > :35:36.definitely. My first Olympics. I am over the moon to be going there.

:35:37. > :35:39.Olympics is completely different to something like this. It is a

:35:40. > :35:45.tactical race. It will be slower, scrapie. I am as ready as I can be.

:35:46. > :35:46.I am looking forward to it. For now, celebrate a brilliant British

:35:47. > :36:01.record. Well done. Thank you. For Laura Muir, this is something

:36:02. > :36:11.she will remember for the rest of her life. A great setting here.

:36:12. > :36:14.A British record. A host of season's bests, Hassan behind her.

:36:15. > :36:24.As I said, Eilish McColgan, with a big personal best.

:36:25. > :36:32.Looking into this great stadium and what a run we had just before that

:36:33. > :36:37.in the 100 hurdles. Look at that mark at the top and Kendra Harrison

:36:38. > :36:42.said she didn't want missing selection to define her season. That

:36:43. > :36:49.time defines her season. That defines her career.

:36:50. > :36:57.It is an amazing stadium. Christian Taylor-Outridge is here four years

:36:58. > :37:03.ago in the triple jump. Has been a class apart in the competition. We

:37:04. > :37:10.are in the last round. He's had two jumps, would have won, anyway. He's

:37:11. > :37:28.won the competition. I thought we would have to settle for something

:37:29. > :37:33.ordinary. Tailor stamps his authority on this

:37:34. > :37:40.event n the last competition, prior to Rio. Close to 18 metres. That

:37:41. > :37:45.looks almost perfect on the board. A slight glitch in his season so far

:37:46. > :37:57.is he was beat no-one the American trials by his team-mate Will Clay.

:37:58. > :38:08.Look at that, 17.78. Undoubtedly the favourite. A world lead.

:38:09. > :38:15.We have seen a British record, the fast men have a lot to live up to.

:38:16. > :38:16.This, the line-up for the final of the men's 100 metres. Two Britains

:38:17. > :38:32.in there. There is Richard Kilty. He did

:38:33. > :38:39.finish strongly to make it to the final. Again a man with a point to

:38:40. > :38:46.prove. Didn't make qualification for the individual in Rio. He will be

:38:47. > :38:51.there as part of the Rio squad. Kim Collins was out so quickly in

:38:52. > :38:55.his heat. Again can he cope with running two

:38:56. > :39:01.races within an hour-and-a-half of each other? Sometimes can cramp up.

:39:02. > :39:07.Isiah Young in lane three for the United States.

:39:08. > :39:13.And there is Jimmy Vicaut. The only man below 10 seconds in the heats.

:39:14. > :39:26.He has run 9.86 this season. Can he go close to that? Julian Forte,

:39:27. > :39:32.10.05 personal best to chase. Ujah won his heat. A disappointing

:39:33. > :39:39.time in that heat, but Ujah was clear of the rest and earns the

:39:40. > :39:43.cheers as a result. Third place for Marvin Bracy. It

:39:44. > :39:53.tells you about the calibre of this man. He'll be heading to Rio.

:39:54. > :39:57.Martina, won the 100s in Amsterdam. The European Championships recently.

:39:58. > :40:03.Made the final of the 100 and 200 here.

:40:04. > :40:06.Rodgers, always a great starter. He is on the outside in lane nine.

:40:07. > :40:21.So many of the races have been delivering, in terms of times.

:40:22. > :40:27.Vicaut, 9 .95 it was rounded down to. He starts here as the favourite.

:40:28. > :40:42.In lane four. Richard Kilty in the inside.

:40:43. > :40:47.Mike Rodgers in lane nine on the outside. The final of the men's 100

:40:48. > :41:00.metres. There wasn't any noise going on. It

:41:01. > :41:04.must have been something that the starter is not happy with. I was

:41:05. > :41:09.scanning around there and I couldn't see what is going on, but you can

:41:10. > :41:12.see the green marker has gone up. So, none of the athletes are at

:41:13. > :41:14.fault. They have to settle themselves again.

:41:15. > :42:02.It is just a technical. Vicaut takes it just ahead of Young.

:42:03. > :42:08.10.03. Vicaut takes the victory. And on a

:42:09. > :42:16.night of extraordinary achievements something of an anti- climax with

:42:17. > :42:22.the men's being won in 10.03. He heads to Rio as a contender. I think

:42:23. > :42:25.a few of these sprinters will be slightly disappointed they couldn't

:42:26. > :42:29.deliver quicker times tonight. That looked like real hard work, didn't

:42:30. > :42:34.it? He had to haul himself through the field to get to the line first

:42:35. > :42:39.in only, and I mean that, in only 10.02. But the victory will always

:42:40. > :42:44.be key. Let's look at this race and see exactly how it all pans out.

:42:45. > :42:48.Jimmy Vicaut in the middle of the field. He gets upright quickly. He's

:42:49. > :42:53.never one of these athletes who drives out of the blocks. He gets

:42:54. > :42:59.into his running very, very quickly. He loses grounds and then gains it

:43:00. > :43:03.as he hauls himself through that. I think they all may be disappointed

:43:04. > :43:06.when they read the clock and performances. Vicaut didn't get the

:43:07. > :43:18.best of starts. Vicaut powering through. We have

:43:19. > :43:22.been spoilt this evening. We are expecting magic to happen every time

:43:23. > :43:23.an athlete steps on the track. Vicaut was pretty impressive. I am

:43:24. > :43:42.sure he'll be a contend -- contender in Rio. There is

:43:43. > :43:44.somebody lining up soon, who is a desprinter as well, I hear. It is

:43:45. > :43:55.not Vicaut running the quickest time of

:43:56. > :43:59.the evening in the heats and in the final doing enough to take the

:44:00. > :44:04.victory. Just outside 10 second. Jimmy Vicaut, he was disappointing

:44:05. > :44:07.at the European Championships, finished second there. He will go to

:44:08. > :44:19.Rio in decent condition. Well, Jimmy Vicaut is taking a

:44:20. > :44:26.moment to compose himself. There he is. He's got his energy back.

:44:27. > :44:30.Congratulations. Not so fast tonight, but you've had a good year,

:44:31. > :44:35.do you take confidence from this going forward for Rio? I am sorry, I

:44:36. > :44:46.speak little English. But I am very happy. I'm a winner this year. Last

:44:47. > :44:54.year I finished fifth. I am very happy and to prepare for two weeks

:44:55. > :45:01.and then go. Well done. Your English is better

:45:02. > :45:04.than my fren. We will call it -- than my French. We will call it

:45:05. > :45:16.quits there. See you in Brazil. Thank you.

:45:17. > :45:17.lift her. These two a good ten metres clear of the field.

:45:18. > :45:27.We're at the start of the 200 metres and Usain Bolt there, just getting

:45:28. > :45:30.into his blocks, working out his distances, taking it all very

:45:31. > :45:34.seriously at the moment. He's not yet doing his thing, where he gets

:45:35. > :45:39.the crowd going, he gets them partying. He's a serious man. This

:45:40. > :45:43.is his first 200 metres this year, competitive 200 metres. This will

:45:44. > :45:48.tell him exactly where he's at right now and some athletes are looking at

:45:49. > :45:50.today as a bonus as they head to Rio, for him this is really

:45:51. > :45:53.important. It's really important because he will want to know where

:45:54. > :45:56.he is. When I talked to him yesterday, he talked about his

:45:57. > :46:01.training, which is a great indicator for someone like him, who has the

:46:02. > :46:06.experience that he does. The training is a great Kator as --

:46:07. > :46:09.indicator as well. This will give him a map in terms what have he

:46:10. > :46:15.wants to do between now and the Games in Rio. But make no bones

:46:16. > :46:19.about it, if this doesn't work out exactly quite like he wants it to,

:46:20. > :46:24.that doesn't really matter for him. He still has time and as we've seen

:46:25. > :46:28.in the past, he's able to make up time like nobody else. He's able to

:46:29. > :46:32.get himself ready and in race condition better than anyone else.

:46:33. > :46:36.He doesn't absolutely have to have races to do that. It's a bonus for

:46:37. > :46:40.this crowd that they get to see him. I think he's in very good shape,

:46:41. > :46:43.because if you look at his progression up to the Jamaican

:46:44. > :46:47.trials, he didn't have any hiccups, no injuries. Whereas last year, his

:46:48. > :46:50.preparation, the entire season was littered with injuries. He's in a

:46:51. > :46:55.better position here. I think that he's going to run really well here.

:46:56. > :46:59.I'm a little surprised that he allows some of the faster guys to

:47:00. > :47:03.line up behind him. He likes to put himself under the pressure. He gets

:47:04. > :47:06.to choose his lane. He can pretty much choose where everyone else

:47:07. > :47:11.wants to go. He chose to be out further and let those guys try to

:47:12. > :47:16.chase him down. Adam Gemili in lane eight, running in the 200 metres for

:47:17. > :47:21.Great Britain in Rio. This will be a big test for him as well. He had his

:47:22. > :47:25.big injury problems last year, missed the World Championships,

:47:26. > :47:30.having shown so much promise when he launched himself in 2012. I'm

:47:31. > :47:34.surprised to see he's only run 20. 34 this year. He has to show

:47:35. > :47:37.something here tonight. Between now and the Games he has a lot of work

:47:38. > :47:42.to do. This is an opportunity, being out there on the outside, you know,

:47:43. > :47:51.he's going to have to run. He knows Bolt will be back there. The best

:47:52. > :47:56.advice is to go back to childhood - run. Just run and run to win. If he

:47:57. > :47:59.can set a season's best that will be a good indicator for him and that

:48:00. > :48:03.will be good in terms of confidence. He has that experience now through

:48:04. > :48:06.major championships and getting there through the rounds and getting

:48:07. > :48:10.into finals. He's done that very well. Obviously medals at the

:48:11. > :48:14.European and Commonwealth Games as well as making finals at the worlds.

:48:15. > :48:17.Unlike a lot of athletes, you were saying from the American

:48:18. > :48:20.qualifications... Very fresh and young, having had that experience

:48:21. > :48:25.and that counts for a lot. Yeah, it does. One thing about, I like this

:48:26. > :48:30.race much better for him. He's such an efficient runner. So if he can

:48:31. > :48:34.just get around that bend, he's going to - technically, it will be

:48:35. > :48:39.fantastic. The thing about him, he doesn't have good speed endurance,

:48:40. > :48:43.he's not going to fall apart because he's so technically sound. This is a

:48:44. > :48:47.good race for him. I like this race for him. 20. 3 is very

:48:48. > :48:53.disappointing. You have to get down to 20. 1 today. You talk about the

:48:54. > :48:59.contrasts of the two athletes. Bolt doesn't need a lot of races I think

:49:00. > :49:02.Adam does. Because of that hamstring injury, he hasn't got the technique

:49:03. > :49:06.or actually, I think, the confidence at the moment to really put his foot

:49:07. > :49:12.down. He's going to need to do that tonight. Is that the legacy of his

:49:13. > :49:18.injury, that he will feel nervous? With such a bad injury, we saw him

:49:19. > :49:22.run at the trials, his form wasn't as silky as he's been. What I'd like

:49:23. > :49:24.from tonight is that I see that smooth Adam come back, the guy who

:49:25. > :49:28.does a great turn and holds his form. That will come through

:49:29. > :49:33.confidence. That's why tonight is so important for him. Important for him

:49:34. > :49:37.and important for Usain Bolt to come out on this track, where he was a

:49:38. > :49:41.multi-Gold Medal winner in London and lay down a marker to the world.

:49:42. > :49:47.He's not here, Gatlin, but he will be watching and know the form this

:49:48. > :49:52.man's in. Again, Bolt is not going to do or die by this race tonight.

:49:53. > :49:57.He will want to run well and I think he will. I can guarantee you there's

:49:58. > :50:00.no concern at all about the injury. But he admitted to me and he said

:50:01. > :50:06.it, I get nervous before the 200 metres. So I think that tonight,

:50:07. > :50:11.this being his first 200 metres, you've got to give credit. He comes

:50:12. > :50:16.to his first 200 metres out here on a big race and lets those guys line

:50:17. > :50:21.up behind him. Let's go to Steve Cram.

:50:22. > :50:25.Thanks very much. Michael making valid points around you know where

:50:26. > :50:30.everybody is in terms of preparation for Rio. Bolt has to do something

:50:31. > :50:36.which most other athletes, well all others don't have to do. All the

:50:37. > :50:39.demands he has this week for all types of media and he has to take

:50:40. > :50:45.that in his stride, which he usually does, of course. He's in lane six.

:50:46. > :50:54.Gemili in eight. We will go through them one by one. This man, if you

:50:55. > :51:03.want to see somebody who gets a surprise when he was told he'd won

:51:04. > :51:09.the Gold Medal at the European Championships in Amsterdam, because

:51:10. > :51:15.Martine was disqualified. Chatting to Gemili, he had a cold earlier in

:51:16. > :51:19.the week. Let's see how he goes here. Edward getting back into good

:51:20. > :51:22.form. Won the Diamond League in Monaco. Here he is, though.

:51:23. > :51:39.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE This big crowd here in the Olympic

:51:40. > :51:48.Stadium hoping he can give them something to cheer. What about

:51:49. > :51:53.Brendon Rodney. The Canadian champion, this year, very talented.

:51:54. > :51:57.Christophe Lemaitre, athletics fans will know him. Coming back to good

:51:58. > :52:05.form in Monaco. A season's best there. He was second behind Edward.

:52:06. > :52:11.Ashmeade knows Bolt very well. Usually the man in the past who he

:52:12. > :52:15.has handed to in the relay. Because this afternoon discallification in

:52:16. > :52:19.the final of the European Championships, he moved into third

:52:20. > :52:28.and took the bronze medal. Going to Rio of course. And then on

:52:29. > :52:38.the inside, Sean McLean, 24-year-old American. Zblt scene set and a

:52:39. > :52:43.familiar one for Usain Bolt, one which has given him so many memories

:52:44. > :52:48.of 2012. So much has happened since then, but that will never be taken

:52:49. > :52:52.away from him. He was the star of the Games, as he

:52:53. > :52:59.so often is. He is the star of tonight. We've had such a great

:53:00. > :53:00.night so far. What can this great man, this great athlete, deliver for

:53:01. > :53:21.us? The men's 200 metre final. False start. I don't think it was

:53:22. > :53:26.Bolt. So we'll wait and see. It was in lane one possibly. That's come up

:53:27. > :53:31.on the computer as a reaction time. If you're in lane one in the 200

:53:32. > :53:35.metres against Usain Bolt, you may be thinking - no-one's watching,

:53:36. > :53:39.I'll get away quick. Doesn't work that way.

:53:40. > :53:41.So let's see if that is what the officials, if they go with the

:53:42. > :53:55.machinery. That all just adds a little, Colin,

:53:56. > :54:01.to the drama. We love drama. We love drama. But that will relax that man.

:54:02. > :54:07.He is under a bit of pressure. He's now thinking to himself - what do I

:54:08. > :54:12.need to do? I'd say run fast. I think he's going to have one less to

:54:13. > :54:23.beat. The athlete in lane one is disqualified. Ah, Sean.

:54:24. > :54:29.Sean McLean may well be, I'm trying to think in terms of big meets, he

:54:30. > :54:36.ran in the as low Diamond League and in Birmingham. Maybe a little bit of

:54:37. > :54:45.nerves on the big stage here. Just got to him. Any way, so, as we

:54:46. > :54:49.were, down to eight men. Talbot in two, Ashmeade in three, Lemaitre in

:54:50. > :54:57.four, Rodney, the very good Canadian in lane five with Usain Bolt in six.

:54:58. > :55:03.Edward in seven. Then Adam Gemili in lane eight and the new European

:55:04. > :55:19.champion from Spain Horteland-Roig in lane nine.

:55:20. > :55:27.This isn't going well. You can hear the interference that was coming

:55:28. > :55:31.through the Speakers, which the starter was right to bring them up.

:55:32. > :55:36.It's nobody's fault. I'm sure the crowd heard it as well. Got to be

:55:37. > :55:39.fair to the athletes. You've got to give them the opportunity to

:55:40. > :55:43.concentrate and focus. This is a big race for many of these athletes,

:55:44. > :55:55.remember. No bigger race than for this man here. Maybe the mechanism

:55:56. > :56:04.is getting nervous? Adam Gemili staying calm. As indeed is Bolt, I'm

:56:05. > :56:08.sure. Doesn't help, though. He wants to win this and just a

:56:09. > :56:31.quick reminder, the fastest time in the world this year is 19. 74.

:56:32. > :56:39.Safely away this time. And Bolt is into his stride. Started pretty

:56:40. > :56:47.quickly. Lemaitre trying to get back into this. Bolt leading. Bolt has a

:56:48. > :56:59.two metre lead. Edward is coming back at him. He wins it. The win for

:57:00. > :57:05.Bolt. He's back in business. It wasn't super fast, but it was good

:57:06. > :57:10.enough tonight. He beat a pretty good field. It was certainly good

:57:11. > :57:16.enough to please a very big crowd. For Usain Bolt a confidence booster

:57:17. > :57:22.that will just send a little bit of a message to say - 19. 89, OK, by

:57:23. > :57:26.his standards that's not really that fast, but let's face it, there still

:57:27. > :57:31.aren't many people in the world can run under 20 seconds. If he's

:57:32. > :57:36.healthy and he's undoubtedly going to improve and get quicker by the

:57:37. > :57:40.time we get to Rio, he doesn't look too happy at the minute, but I'm

:57:41. > :57:45.sure he will be happy to get that under his belt, to have got the win

:57:46. > :57:49.and a pretty solid time. I think he will be happy in the sense that race

:57:50. > :57:55.is out of the way. It's out of his system. First time is a strong

:57:56. > :58:01.performance. To go under 20 seconds is great. To go under 19. 90 is

:58:02. > :58:06.good. Fifth fastest in the world this year, your first competitive

:58:07. > :58:10.200 metres. Rio is three weeks away. Are you in shape? I'm getting there.

:58:11. > :58:15.I'm not fully in shape. I need more work. Over time, I'll be fine. I

:58:16. > :58:20.just take my time and I'm going to work. A little bit tentative on the

:58:21. > :58:24.curve or did you go for it. It looked like you exploded off the

:58:25. > :58:30.curve? I tried to go for the curve. But I don't think I executed well.

:58:31. > :58:33.Not at the start. The key thing is came out here to prove something and

:58:34. > :58:37.I'm happy about it. It looked smooth. Your execution off the bend

:58:38. > :58:41.looked amazing. Starting to look better, you're starting to look

:58:42. > :58:51.actually pretty good. Tentative on the curve, but other than that,

:58:52. > :58:54.pretty good. Thank you very much. You love this stadium. Yes, the

:58:55. > :59:01.energy is always great here. I'm happy. Hungry as ever? Always

:59:02. > :59:07.hungry. I'm going to let do you your lap of honour. Maybe we will catch

:59:08. > :59:10.up with you a little later on. Usain Bolt, as always, giving the crowd

:59:11. > :59:15.here something to cheer about and a performance that he seems moderately

:59:16. > :59:22.happy with. I think so. The fastest time in the world this year 19. 74.

:59:23. > :59:26.He's run 19. 90. With a relatively easy race, I think that is exactly

:59:27. > :59:30.what he would have needed. I think he will feel very confident with

:59:31. > :59:33.that. We will expect much faster as he goes into Rio, because that will

:59:34. > :59:37.give him confidence that he is healthy. He thought he was. Now he

:59:38. > :59:43.has confirmation of that. Now he can work on speed and speed endurance. I

:59:44. > :59:46.think he's set up very well. We will talk about Usain and incredible

:59:47. > :59:49.performances tonight. We're going straight to the red button from BBC
