The Olympics brings together the people of the world n harmony and

:00:18.:00:24.

friendship and peace to celebrate what is best about mankind.

:00:25.:00:32.

There is a truth to sport, a purity, a drama, an intensity, a spirit

:00:33.:00:37.

which makes it irresistible to take part in and irresistible to watch.

:00:38.:00:41.

What we are seeing right now is that dreams do come true. Humans

:00:42.:00:46.

stretched to the limits of their abilities. Living for the moment,

:00:47.:00:55.

but making a mark upon history. The champion becomes a legend.

:00:56.:01:00.

Those of us who came to watch witnessed moments of heroism and

:01:01.:01:11.

heartbreak. We know more now, as individuals and

:01:12.:01:16.

as a nation, just what we are capable of.

:01:17.:01:24.

And that knowledge will drive us on. We lit the flame and we lit up the

:01:25.:01:33.

world. There are some famous words, words

:01:34.:01:39.

that when you read them you know mean high quality, mean skill, mean

:01:40.:01:45.

creativity. We have stamped those words on the Olympic and Paralympic

:01:46.:01:52.

games of London, 2012. Made in Britain.

:01:53.:02:04.

Well f that has not got your pulse racing and your uses flowing I am

:02:05.:02:14.

not sure what will. Welcome to the muller Anniversary Games, 2016. Now

:02:15.:02:23.

on the 22nd July the Olympic Games were held here. It has gone like the

:02:24.:02:29.

blink of an eye. In two weeks' time we will enjoy the Roy Olympics w the

:02:30.:02:35.

world watching Brazil. Tonight there is a packed stadium. 38,000 people

:02:36.:02:38.

expected here and a cracking atmosphere. The athletics is set to

:02:39.:02:44.

be isn't it lating. Usain Bolt is out on the -- stint lating. Usain

:02:45.:02:49.

Bolt is out on the track later. Alongside me as we kick off this one

:02:50.:02:55.

Michael Johnson and Denise Lewis. Welcome back. Who are you looking

:02:56.:02:59.

out for tonight? It is great to be back. I am certainly looking out for

:03:00.:03:05.

Bolt tonight. His first race, out after a season, in which he says he

:03:06.:03:07.

is fine. Who are you looking for to The

:03:08.:03:22.

100-metre hurdles. Jessica Ennis-Hill. Also Eilidh Doyle in the

:03:23.:03:31.

women's 400-metre hurdles. Thank you for the moment. We will set the

:03:32.:03:37.

scene on what is to come shortly. The action comes thick and fast.

:03:38.:03:42.

First up on the track it is the women's 400 metres. So good evening

:03:43.:03:44.

to Steve Cram. Thank you. Lots to look forward to.

:03:45.:03:50.

400 gets us under way. We will put you in the very capable hands of

:03:51.:03:52.

Andrew Cotter. Strong athletes in lanes, four,

:03:53.:04:14.

five, six and seven. There are world-class athletes and British

:04:15.:04:19.

athletes. There is Onuora. Here bronze at the European

:04:20.:04:25.

Championships, where she edged out Christine Ohuruogu. No sparkling

:04:26.:04:31.

times. Emily Diamond is improving a lot.

:04:32.:04:34.

Last year for her was ruined by injury.

:04:35.:04:43.

Francena McCorory missed out on an individual place in Rio. Fifth in

:04:44.:04:46.

the individual trails which spare no-one if you are outside the top

:04:47.:04:52.

three Guei of France. Silver at Amsterdam. Amsterdam.

:04:53.:05:06.

Shaunae Miller is unbeaten over 400. Outstanding over 200. Will run the

:05:07.:05:22.

400 in Rio. Natasha Hastingss - 51. 7 she ran there.

:05:23.:05:31.

McPherson is the Jamaican champion sh year. This stadium will rise to

:05:32.:05:33.

Christine Ohuruogu. Missed the trails with a virus and

:05:34.:05:48.

that threw it all up in the air. Bundy-Davis finished second in the

:05:49.:05:50.

UK Championships. So four British athletes competing

:05:51.:06:03.

here in this women's 400 metres. On a perfect evening. A quick evening

:06:04.:06:07.

as well in terms of sprinting. We have seen very quick times. It is a

:06:08.:06:12.

freshly laid track as well. I think we could see some very good times

:06:13.:06:16.

here. Not a breath of wind. It is warm. It

:06:17.:06:18.

is still. And Ohuruogu looking for something,

:06:19.:06:28.

the selectors looking for someone from her between now and Rio.

:06:29.:06:37.

She's won this event three times in the past with sparkling times, 50

:06:38.:06:41.

seconds flat in 2013. She's a long way from that but needs to find

:06:42.:06:47.

something. Shaunae Miller should be the woman

:06:48.:06:52.

to chase here in lane five. Onuora trying to chase down Diamond.

:06:53.:07:03.

Christine Ohuruogu paces herself in lane eight.

:07:04.:07:11.

Very quick from Natasha Hastings. Miller chasing her down.

:07:12.:07:17.

McPherson squeezing alongside Ohuruogu at the moment. Does

:07:18.:07:22.

Ohuruogu have anything left? Bundy-Davis losing a little bit of

:07:23.:07:27.

pace. Hastings and Miller are side by

:07:28.:07:29.

side. It is Miller, an exhibition of

:07:30.:07:47.

400-metre running. Shaunae Miller, quickest in the world this year.

:07:48.:07:57.

They were a long way adrift. She takes the world-leading mark from

:07:58.:08:05.

Alison Felix. What a run that was from Shaunae Miller. She is

:08:06.:08:11.

focussing on the 400 in Rio. And you can see why.

:08:12.:08:14.

I think she reel lie needed that. She'll have to take on Alison Felix.

:08:15.:08:20.

Christine finished the best of the Brits. Christine going a few steps

:08:21.:08:26.

towards vindicating her selection, definitely and running her season's

:08:27.:08:30.

best to boot. We will give you details of that. Miller, the third

:08:31.:08:35.

time in league win. She's learning to run a race well. There were

:08:36.:08:39.

almost two different races from here. From here lane out, through

:08:40.:08:45.

the 200 much quicker. . Was the only one who maintained well. Her head

:08:46.:08:51.

has gone back a little bit. She's trying to keep the knee pick up. A

:08:52.:08:56.

lovely, lovely runner. I think there's a massive amount of

:08:57.:08:59.

potential for her in this event. But this shows she is ready to take on

:09:00.:09:05.

Alison Felix. That sentence is a tough one. She's right there. A

:09:06.:09:10.

really good performance here tonight. She is like Alison Felix -

:09:11.:09:16.

she will not be there in Rio in the 200. She missed out in the trials.

:09:17.:09:25.

It is a shame she will not double up up. Michael Johnson, I am sure,

:09:26.:09:31.

hugely impressed with Shaunae Miller? Absolutely. The 200 speed,

:09:32.:09:39.

we saw it her with 100 metres to go, so far ahead of everyone else.

:09:40.:09:43.

Looking very relaxed. She benefitted as well from the very quick paceset

:09:44.:09:51.

by Natasha Hastings. She runs a fast pace. Got her a third place at the

:09:52.:09:56.

US championships, so she's on that team. Miller, a fantastic

:09:57.:10:04.

performance here. This sets up an amazing race between Shaunae Miller

:10:05.:10:12.

and Alison Felix. So, now two athletes over 400 metres, both

:10:13.:10:18.

choosing, at least in the case of Miller not running the 400 metres.

:10:19.:10:23.

Alison missing out on the team for the US.

:10:24.:10:26.

It should be a fantastic match-up between those two.

:10:27.:10:31.

I was not impressed with Christine's run here. I think as Andrew and

:10:32.:10:37.

Steve said, she did enough to vindicate her position. She's got

:10:38.:10:40.

some work to do between now and Rio. The one thing that I didn't see from

:10:41.:10:44.

Christine that you normally see is some great lift at the end of the

:10:45.:10:50.

400 metres. You can see the look on her face here a little bit of

:10:51.:10:57.

struggling over this last 40-metre or so. That is one of the easiest

:10:58.:11:03.

things to work on - working on speed endurance. It is a mark of what high

:11:04.:11:07.

standards Christine Ohuruogu sets herself. That was a great season's

:11:08.:11:11.

best as we waited for Michael to finish there. You said, yes, but not

:11:12.:11:15.

quick enough. Overall, Christine, that is a great stepping stone

:11:16.:11:20.

towards the Olympics. It is. And I don't want to be the one to

:11:21.:11:26.

complain, but it is prosecution. I want to be sharper today. This was a

:11:27.:11:31.

home-coming for you. You made good on your pledge after London to visit

:11:32.:11:37.

of primary school in the area and I think you have just about done it?

:11:38.:11:41.

There is only one of me and lots of schools. It whats been a long graft

:11:42.:11:46.

-- it has been a long graft. I can keep doing it forever. It is fine.

:11:47.:11:49.

Looking at the rounds at the Europeans and the fact you have

:11:50.:11:53.

secured a season's best, on so many occasions we have seen you run your

:11:54.:12:03.

best times exactly when it counts. So the time is looking good. I do

:12:04.:12:09.

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

:12:10.:12:12.

This season has been a lot of work. It has been really, really hard. But

:12:13.:12:19.

we push on. That is life sometimes. Sometimes it goes to plan more often

:12:20.:12:24.

than not it does. You have to try and make the best out of it. See you

:12:25.:12:29.

in Rio. . Thank you. See you later. She is smiling. She knows she's got

:12:30.:12:35.

to find half a second if she's to challenge for medals, which is a

:12:36.:12:38.

big, big ask. She is improving.

:12:39.:12:42.

Shaunae Miller quickest in the world this year. A long way clear of the

:12:43.:12:45.

best. Over the next two hours or so, there

:12:46.:12:47.

are plenty more coming your way. It is a great performance by her. A

:12:48.:13:05.

super run. She runs it.

:13:06.:13:18.

It is gold for Great Britain... Bolt is going to do it again!

:13:19.:13:28.

Well, we know they are running quick out there on that track. Tonight

:13:29.:13:34.

there are perfect conditions. Now it is the men's 100-metre heats coming

:13:35.:13:36.

your way. A mouth-watering race here.

:13:37.:13:58.

There is the British champion. Most people from this race are going

:13:59.:14:00.

to Rio. Bracy, who you saw.

:14:01.:14:20.

Aaron Brown, Young and Edoburun. Frater, maybe at the twilight of his

:14:21.:14:25.

sprinting career. He still ran 10.04 this year.

:14:26.:14:33.

CJ - a great British sprinter. Individual they want to do well.

:14:34.:14:36.

They have seen what the women's relay team have done tonight. I am

:14:37.:14:42.

sure they will hoping to be doing the same tomorrow.

:14:43.:14:48.

Rodgers was fourth at the American trials.

:14:49.:15:04.

Bracy... 22 years of age. James Dasaolu, you keep waiting for

:15:05.:15:10.

James to really come and bust the time, as they say.

:15:11.:15:18.

Aaron Brown. Again the Canadians starting to produce really good

:15:19.:15:28.

sprint talent again. Isiah Young. He goes in seven. Solomon Bockarie was

:15:29.:15:35.

at the European Championships. Just missed out at a medal in the 200

:15:36.:15:39.

metres. He was fourth in that event. A personal best in the semis in the

:15:40.:15:45.

200 in Amsterdam. The European junior champion last year, Ojie

:15:46.:15:49.

Edoburun. He's being take ton Rio, as much for experience as anything

:15:50.:15:55.

else as part of the relay squad. What continue aunt for the

:15:56.:15:59.

20-year-old. -- what an opportunity for the 20-year-old. A big talent.

:16:00.:16:08.

Nvment Top three to go through. Rodgers with the head band. Aaron

:16:09.:16:18.

Brown, watch for him in six. Bracy right in the middle.

:16:19.:16:34.

Bracy gets a very good start. Rodgers got left a bit. Chijindu

:16:35.:16:43.

Ujah leading this one at the moment. He has the win! Bracy definitely

:16:44.:16:45.

second. Tight for third. Well, CJ got a great start. He got a

:16:46.:17:03.

metre and then a bit of pressure at the end. He hung on well. It is only

:17:04.:17:10.

a heat, I sa that -- I say that, but these guys are running flat out.

:17:11.:17:14.

He's through, Bracy through. We're waiting for the photo finish. It's

:17:15.:17:18.

showing Rodgers at the moment. I was going through the list and there's

:17:19.:17:21.

seven athletes in the line up going to Rio. Let's look at the quality.

:17:22.:17:27.

This is not an easy heat. People have to work hard to qualify.

:17:28.:17:32.

Chijindu Ujah did it so well. He exploded out of the blocks. He

:17:33.:17:36.

treated this with the respect due to it. World class athletes here. He

:17:37.:17:39.

produced what was necessary. Good start. A good mid-phrase and just

:17:40.:17:45.

hung on to take this first heat. I'm a bit surprised about the time. I

:17:46.:17:49.

thought it may be a bit swifter, especially with the quality of the

:17:50.:17:53.

field but it's about qualifying. Great run from him. I think there's

:17:54.:17:56.

a few people who really didn't run very well there. Look at Aaron

:17:57.:18:01.

Brown. Absolutely nowhere here. He got out well. Didn't do anything.

:18:02.:18:05.

Dasaolu doesn't come on. Young tries to get there. Just about makes it.

:18:06.:18:11.

He might be quick, but 10. 21 for him in this sort of field, the guys

:18:12.:18:15.

in the next heat could get five or six go through if they go a bit

:18:16.:18:20.

quicker. You're absolutely right. They'll be rubbing their hands

:18:21.:18:24.

together. Perhaps a more relaxed run by them. There's eight of them

:18:25.:18:27.

who've dwaulified for the Olympics -- qualified for the Olympics in the

:18:28.:18:30.

next run. They've all got to be ready. Well Bracy out well. Just

:18:31.:18:41.

hung on. Rodgers sneaks through for third. Chijindu Ujah into the final

:18:42.:18:44.

and looking very good indeed. Action under way. Morgan Lake 19

:18:45.:19:07.

years of age has had a good start so far. Yes. Perfect start to her

:19:08.:19:20.

evening's work. Britain's sole competitor in this event. Morgan

:19:21.:19:30.

Lake not in the heptathlon and an injured Pooley. Her team-mate,

:19:31.:19:38.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who is going in heptathlon. Very good at

:19:39.:19:41.

this event. Looking for a confidence boost ahead of the Rio Games. A good

:19:42.:19:48.

clearance. She'll have had half an eye on a very sharp looking Jessica

:19:49.:19:54.

Ennis-Hill in the hurdles a little while ago. Katarina Johnson-Thompson

:19:55.:19:56.

also clear at 1. 89. Where's Crammie gone? It can't be!

:19:57.:20:16.

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

:20:17.:20:19.

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

:20:20.:20:23.

on the red button earlier, you missed something very special

:20:24.:20:24.

indeed. Keep an eye on lane four, Asha

:20:25.:20:39.

Philip with her strong start leading them off. Making up ground. A good,

:20:40.:20:48.

strong run from Ashya Philip and so too from the Netherlands. The

:20:49.:20:52.

Netherlands are gone. Now Britain are in a strong position. Dena

:20:53.:20:59.

Asher-Smith. She now runs the bend with a big, big lead. Looking for

:21:00.:21:03.

the safe final handover. They're almost side by side. The baton is in

:21:04.:21:09.

the hands now. It's going to be a big victory for Great Britain A.

:21:10.:21:13.

Great Britain B in fourth place at the moment. Victory though, and the

:21:14.:21:20.

time 41. 82 - it is quick. A couple of those changes were safe. A couple

:21:21.:21:25.

were very good. But it all adds up to 41. 81. That lays down a marker

:21:26.:21:32.

ahead of Rio. That was outstanding by the Great

:21:33.:21:37.

Britain A-Team. We know that they're phenomenal individual sprinters.

:21:38.:21:40.

We've seen it on many occasions. They're all coming together

:21:41.:21:43.

wonderfully well for the team. They should be really proud of what

:21:44.:21:47.

they've done. Look at that, 41. 81, world lead. Tremendous run. That's

:21:48.:21:52.

got to be one of the fastest runs of all time.

:21:53.:21:59.

STUDIO: New national record, meet record, world lead. What a time to

:22:00.:22:03.

do it. Denise, you don't get many opportunities as a quartet to have a

:22:04.:22:07.

good practice in front a massive crowd in what feels like a

:22:08.:22:10.

championship environment. Exactly, but these girls are well drilled.

:22:11.:22:14.

They have worked together, a lot of investment has gone into our relays,

:22:15.:22:18.

let's face it. You know, I liked this relay. I like this quartet. All

:22:19.:22:27.

of them are hungry for victory and remember, the fourth leg, what a

:22:28.:22:31.

home coming for her to be in this environment and to be part of such a

:22:32.:22:37.

great quartet. Let's analyse this for us. Absolutely. This was just a

:22:38.:22:42.

phenomenal performance, obviously they would have been very motivated,

:22:43.:22:46.

great start out of the blocks here. Very good start. We always know that

:22:47.:22:52.

Ashya Philips is a great starter. This is about the changeover. This

:22:53.:22:56.

is about as clean as you can get there, no wasted motion. They

:22:57.:22:59.

stretched that one out. That was probably the most aggressive

:23:00.:23:02.

changeover of all of them in this race. Again, very clean there. Nice,

:23:03.:23:10.

crisp changeovers there, Dena Asher-Smith, great bend runner. This

:23:11.:23:14.

one is a lot more safe. You'd rather err on the side of safe. This gives

:23:15.:23:17.

you room for improvement, which will need to happen between now and Rio.

:23:18.:23:23.

But this is just a fantastic run by this team, some very young athletes,

:23:24.:23:28.

all working together here, all motivated, coming into this Games,

:23:29.:23:35.

this championship. The thing that I think that really they should take

:23:36.:23:37.

from this is that the changeovers are going to be key. The speed is

:23:38.:23:42.

there. That's what I saw in this, a world-leading time, the speed is

:23:43.:23:46.

there. That's not why people lose relays. They lose relays because

:23:47.:23:50.

they screw up the changeovers. That, you've got to drill that between now

:23:51.:23:54.

and Rio. This says, you've got an opportunity to get a medal. It could

:23:55.:23:57.

be any medal with a time like that, when you look at the rest of the

:23:58.:24:02.

world am Focus on making sure you don't screw it up. That's the main

:24:03.:24:06.

thing. You can't just - speed is there. They have the speed. Some of

:24:07.:24:11.

the other teams, I guarantee you one of the big teams, Trinidad and

:24:12.:24:15.

Tobago, Jamaica, US, probably US is going to drop their baton. That's

:24:16.:24:18.

going to happen. That opens up more opportunities. The other thing too,

:24:19.:24:22.

and I haven't seen this in a while. All those teams could get the baton

:24:23.:24:26.

around and this team could still medal. That's new. I haven't seen

:24:27.:24:29.

that before. I thought you were going to put the dampener on it and

:24:30.:24:34.

tell us the US team are the team to beat - which they are. They are. But

:24:35.:24:39.

you're allowed to give us a moment of excitement. Now the second heat

:24:40.:24:47.

of the 100 metres for the men. A few clouds over there. They are

:24:48.:24:50.

keeping at bay at the moment. Very good conditions. I think that's why

:24:51.:24:55.

we were slightly surprised at the times in the first eight that they

:24:56.:24:59.

weren't -- first heat, that they weren't quicker. Adam Gemili was

:25:00.:25:09.

supposed to be in the second heat. He's struggling with a cold. He's

:25:10.:25:13.

going to run the 200, which is about the show piece event this evening,

:25:14.:25:17.

after all. A big chance for the men in this second heat. That's the

:25:18.:25:19.

result from the first one. James Dasaolu with his 10. 24 is the

:25:20.:25:34.

last of the fastest losers at the moment. This is the line-up.

:25:35.:25:51.

There's Akeem Haynes, talk about the Canadian sprinters getting a bit

:25:52.:26:00.

quicker. Third at the Canadian championships. 10. 16 in the

:26:01.:26:04.

semifinals of the Canadian championships. Julian Forte third in

:26:05.:26:12.

the trials behind Yohan Blake and Ashmeade. Kim Collins. You have to

:26:13.:26:19.

mention his age, but I'm not going to. Had his Olympic selection

:26:20.:26:24.

confirmed on Wednesday. Has made up with the governing body of Saint

:26:25.:26:27.

Kitts Nevis. Interesting to see how he copes here. He has a tendency

:26:28.:26:34.

to cramp when there are round after round.

:26:35.:26:44.

Churandy Martina European champion. Jimmy Vicaut, you never quite know.

:26:45.:26:48.

That's the slogan. He can run almost as fast as anybody in the world 9.

:26:49.:26:57.

86 this season. Richard Thompson, behind Usain Bolt in Beijing.

:26:58.:27:00.

Getting ready for his third Olympics. Richard Kilty has the

:27:01.:27:06.

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

:27:07.:27:10.

last weekend but didn't qualify for the individual. He will be there for

:27:11.:27:17.

the relay in Rio. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, 10. 08 in

:27:18.:27:23.

Loughborough last week. Both running quite times last week. He'll be part

:27:24.:27:28.

of the relay squad as well in Brazil. Everton Clarke of Jamaica.

:27:29.:27:34.

Not going to the Olympics. A tough school the Jamaican sprint

:27:35.:27:39.

qualification, 10. 08 only good enough for the semifinals in their

:27:40.:27:44.

trials. Again a few of these athletes will

:27:45.:27:48.

have watched the first heat or seen the times and thought, got a good

:27:49.:27:52.

chance of going through here. It could be, if they all run to the

:27:53.:27:55.

potential, six will go through from here.

:27:56.:28:00.

Three automatically make it and three fasters losers over the two

:28:01.:28:01.

heats. Second heat of the men's 100 metres.

:28:02.:28:39.

Cleanly away. Jimmy Vicaut trying to keep place. Collins moving quickly.

:28:40.:28:44.

Here comes Jimmy Vicaut powering his way. Julian Forte there as well.

:28:45.:28:50.

Vicaut 9. 97. Said you never know with him, but that was impressive.

:28:51.:28:54.

Jimmy Vicaut rolling across the line, just easing down a little bit.

:28:55.:29:01.

And the times there certainly look more impressive than those of the

:29:02.:29:05.

first heat. Vicaut takes it, rounded down to 9. 96. He'll be rough to

:29:06.:29:13.

beat tonight. He may be a strong contender in Rio. He's been in very

:29:14.:29:19.

good form this year. He's starting well. You get the feeling with Jimmy

:29:20.:29:25.

Vicaut he needs to do that. Not as good as Kim Collins mind you. At the

:29:26.:29:30.

age of Kim, he still has electric reactions. So strong here, Vicaut.

:29:31.:29:36.

Drives all the way through. Forte coming through and Churandy Martina

:29:37.:29:47.

will probably get the third spot. Just ahead of Collins. Well done to

:29:48.:29:51.

Richard Kilty. He will be in the final. Collins really drives out so

:29:52.:29:55.

fast. Great news for him that he is going to the Games. He deserves

:29:56.:29:58.

that. Yeah, Jimmy Vicaut, I don't know how much more there is for

:29:59.:30:02.

Jimmy Vicaut. You just get the feeling he's always on the limit.

:30:03.:30:08.

Surprised, can't see Collins here, but Vicaut powering through. Kilty

:30:09.:30:12.

best known for his start finished strongly. Kilty has gone through.

:30:13.:30:17.

We'll confirm all that in a moment. Because he said he's run not just 9.

:30:18.:30:23.

86, he ran 9. 94 in the trials as well. He's run consistently quickly.

:30:24.:30:27.

He can sometimes go missing. He's had injuries as well. Sometimes he

:30:28.:30:29.

can tie up a little bit. Churandy Martina goes through

:30:30.:30:55.

automatically. Those three below, I think Richard Kilty goes through and

:30:56.:30:57.

we will tidy up the rest for you. This man, of course the Olympic

:30:58.:31:12.

champion. Lavillenie. He had three fouls at

:31:13.:31:21.

the European Championships. Brilliant when he gets it right, but

:31:22.:31:30.

shows some fragility as well. Lavillenie, 5 metres 83. First

:31:31.:31:37.

attempt. Fast on the approach. Oh, yes, that is how to do it! He is

:31:38.:31:43.

almost unbeatable when he gets it right.

:31:44.:31:54.

Kendrick is still in. Barber, the world champion didn't start - he's

:31:55.:32:02.

ill. It is only three men involved. The other Frenchman, his team-mate,

:32:03.:32:10.

but he continues. At the other end of the field

:32:11.:32:19.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the high jump. 1.92, the height she

:32:20.:32:25.

cleared earlier this year. Her outdoor season's best. She goes

:32:26.:32:32.

clear. Yes. A boost ahead of Rio and that is

:32:33.:32:37.

what she would have wanted. A slight adjustment there. Maybe two strides

:32:38.:32:42.

out. But a good clearance for Johnson-Thompson. The next height

:32:43.:32:49.

will be a lifetime best. Look at that for Johnson-Thompson. One of

:32:50.:32:55.

the most impressive British athletes so far this season, who is

:32:56.:33:00.

progressing race by race is Eilidh Doyle. The 400 metres hurdles is up

:33:01.:33:04.

next. Former European champion and

:33:05.:33:14.

Commonwealth silver-medallist added to a number of life events by

:33:15.:33:20.

getting married. Life is settled for the 29-year-old Scot. A happy home

:33:21.:33:24.

life is translating to success on the track. She got her season off to

:33:25.:33:29.

a flying start when she won in Doha. The first ever Diamond League

:33:30.:33:32.

victory for her. It is a great performance. 54.54. A good win

:33:33.:33:38.

against some good opposition. Talk me a little bit through the season

:33:39.:33:41.

so far and how it has gone in your eyes. It has gone really well. I

:33:42.:33:46.

think I opened up really well in Doha. Winning the Diamond League,

:33:47.:33:52.

the perfect way to start it. I have been plugging away the last few

:33:53.:33:56.

races. Trying to iron out technical issues and getting the perfect race,

:33:57.:34:01.

trying to nail my race. She went on to secure top three finishes in Rome

:34:02.:34:05.

and Birmingham, before winning in Monaco last weekend. With 54. 09. A

:34:06.:34:10.

top-class performance, but not quite flawless. Just as she is getting

:34:11.:34:14.

tired, she has to chop a little into the last one. Everything else was

:34:15.:34:18.

perfect there tonight. We made changes this year. I think if I get

:34:19.:34:21.

that stride pattern right, that will take me into the 53s. Five other

:34:22.:34:26.

athletes have run quicker than her this season. The fastest of them all

:34:27.:34:33.

Dalilah Muhammad, she has run under 53 seconds. It will take perfection

:34:34.:34:37.

if Doyle wants to be on the podium in Rio. Her mind set going into

:34:38.:34:42.

these games will be different to the London Olympics, where she made the

:34:43.:34:45.

semi-finals in 2012. I think mentally I am a different athlete to

:34:46.:34:49.

what I was four years ago. That is because I have been running well and

:34:50.:34:52.

obviously my confidence is high. It is nothing to do with getting

:34:53.:34:57.

married? My husband will claim it is. But no, I don't think so. I wish

:34:58.:35:01.

you luck this weekend. Thanks very much.

:35:02.:35:05.

She was a child in 2012, she's very much the woman to watch out for as

:35:06.:35:09.

we head to Rio. And Colin Jackson has been taking a closer look at the

:35:10.:35:16.

fantastic run her PB in Monaco. What have you seen about her progress

:35:17.:35:21.

this season That has impressed you? This is a phenomenal performance.

:35:22.:35:27.

She will get herself into that position where her mind is focussed.

:35:28.:35:31.

She's got a stride pattern she wants to work from. She is highlighted

:35:32.:35:35.

here for you. She works hard to the first hurdle to set herself up into

:35:36.:35:39.

her rhythm. Now, what she's looking down now is a stride pattern around

:35:40.:35:45.

15 strides, usually and hopefully for a six hurdles. Here, she managed

:35:46.:35:49.

to do it for five. Absolutely fine, because she has got good ground

:35:50.:35:55.

speed anyway. She is one of our fastest 400-metre flat runners as

:35:56.:36:00.

well. When she's in the relay she's under the 51 seconds mark. She

:36:01.:36:04.

changes, sets herself up nicely to take it on the left leg, so she can

:36:05.:36:08.

drive off this final curve. Works hard here. You can see good rhythm.

:36:09.:36:15.

Nobody else around here her comes to this barrier. You want her to push

:36:16.:36:20.

on. Fatigue is here. She chops down. This is where she loses her personal

:36:21.:36:26.

best and getting under that 54 seconds mark which is what she wants

:36:27.:36:28.

to do. Working hard. She's aggressive. I know in training she's

:36:29.:36:35.

managed to do that stride pattern correctly. I am hoping tonight, in

:36:36.:36:39.

good conditions, and with a good field around her, she can go under

:36:40.:36:43.

that 54-second mark. Thank you. That is psychologically

:36:44.:36:48.

so, so important, isn't it as she heads to Rio? Absolutely. It will be

:36:49.:36:52.

key for her to get that confidence. She is capable of it. She's done it

:36:53.:36:56.

before in training. Keep our fingers crossed. Chopped before the last

:36:57.:37:00.

hurdle - there is work to be done, which is brilliant because of the

:37:01.:37:05.

progress she's made so far. It is what all athletes strive for. They

:37:06.:37:08.

strive for perfection. It gives you that target. It gives you something

:37:09.:37:13.

to work for. For me, her prosecution over the last few years, the air of

:37:14.:37:18.

confidence you see in her face, in her eyes on that start line, she is

:37:19.:37:23.

focussed and means business. Steve, earlier you said some athletes will

:37:24.:37:26.

use tonight as a stepping stone. Others will look at this meet

:37:27.:37:30.

towards Rio. What do you think about her? I think she's very much

:37:31.:37:35.

focussed on Rio. She's in a different place to where she's ever

:37:36.:37:39.

been in her career. She has every chance of running her personal best.

:37:40.:37:43.

Chatting to her yesterday she is delighted with lane four. Actually

:37:44.:37:47.

she was in command with the technical meetings and there are

:37:48.:37:51.

arguments around who runs where. And for the first time in her life as an

:37:52.:37:55.

athlete was the one dictating which lane she had. She has chosen lane

:37:56.:38:00.

four. It is all about her. Of course, the Americans are very, very

:38:01.:38:03.

good. Let's not forget that. We have the quickest run in the world in the

:38:04.:38:05.

race as well, in lane six. She is Dalilah Muhammad, as you saw

:38:06.:38:12.

in that piece about Eilidh there. There are the rest of the athletes.

:38:13.:38:29.

We will go through them one by one. Pedroso has had a late start to her

:38:30.:38:32.

season, on the inside. Only one race. 57 seconds for the former

:38:33.:38:40.

Cuban, now running for Italy. She's somebody who is looking for races to

:38:41.:38:46.

get her ready for Rio. Definitely. Linkiewicz, she won silver at the

:38:47.:38:50.

European Championships in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago. A good

:38:51.:38:55.

performance from her there. Her best was in Warsaw, her home town.

:38:56.:39:02.

Americans have got real talent and this is somebody, Jaide Stepter - we

:39:03.:39:07.

have not seen too much of. Seventh in the American trials. Listen to

:39:08.:39:10.

the reception for Eilidh Doyle. Two wins in the Diamond League

:39:11.:39:23.

already this year. Will this be a third in front of her home crowd?

:39:24.:39:28.

She will have to beat these two good Americans. And Shamier Little, who

:39:29.:39:34.

is only 21 had a silver last year. Got it horribly wrong at the

:39:35.:39:38.

American trials. Not this young lady t three who represent the US,

:39:39.:39:47.

Muhammad, also Ashley Spencer and McGolan made it through, behind

:39:48.:39:52.

Muhammad, who has led the way in the American trials.

:39:53.:39:56.

Sara Petersen, the European champion, from Amsterdam. A great

:39:57.:40:01.

season last year for the Dane. Just missed out on a medal in Beijing.

:40:02.:40:06.

Nel, a very experienced South African. Trialled in fourth.

:40:07.:40:14.

Everybody was behind Eilidh Doyle in Monaco.

:40:15.:40:19.

Wells has been running well. Hasn't had a chance to get in many of the

:40:20.:40:26.

big meets. Was unbeaten in her 400-metre headle races throughout

:40:27.:40:29.

the season. -- hurdle races throughout the season.

:40:30.:40:34.

Dalilah Muhammad won silver in 2013. Had problems in 2014, 2015, really

:40:35.:40:39.

back to her best. If she can produce anything like her best, that will be

:40:40.:40:43.

very difficult for Eilidh Doyle to get on terms with. In that interview

:40:44.:40:48.

I said, are you, this idea of sticking to your stride patches,

:40:49.:40:51.

that is what I have to do -vy to concentrate on myself. If I get this

:40:52.:40:56.

right, I will run under 54 seconds, as Colin suggested. Once you run 53

:40:57.:41:01.

you are competing the likes of Muhammad. Let's see if she can do

:41:02.:41:03.

that tonight. The American champion, fastest in

:41:04.:41:16.

the world in lane six. Doyle in lane four. Between the two

:41:17.:41:20.

of them Shamier Little, of the USA. It is all about rhythm. All about

:41:21.:41:30.

hitting those stride patterns, not worrying about what is going on

:41:31.:41:34.

around you. They are competitive in the home straight. You can see how

:41:35.:41:37.

quickly Dalilah Muhammad has gone off. This is what Eilidh Doyle has

:41:38.:41:42.

to do here - not panic. Not get drawn into a race with her, stick to

:41:43.:41:48.

her race. Going well the first 200 metres. Muhammad is coming back to

:41:49.:41:53.

them. Shamier Little and Eilidh Doyle right there.

:41:54.:41:56.

She's hitting this right. Now it is about strength here. Holding it

:41:57.:42:00.

together. Muhammad, the American champion,

:42:01.:42:03.

Shamier Little and Eilidh Doyle, just about a metre or two between

:42:04.:42:05.

the three of them here. Muhammad... She just had to check

:42:06.:42:15.

Doyle. Coming through, but Muhammad streaks away in the end and Petersen

:42:16.:42:25.

coming fast. 53. 92. It was there. It was like Monaco until that last

:42:26.:42:31.

hurdle. Then she had to check. Lost more momentum. I would suggest that

:42:32.:42:40.

is what was going on at Monaco. Muhammad was really good off the

:42:41.:42:46.

last hurdle. She was struggling the two hurdles before that and then

:42:47.:42:50.

this young lady, the European champion finished strongly as well.

:42:51.:42:55.

Were we expecting too much? She's quality. There is much she can do. I

:42:56.:43:00.

hope what she will get from this, Steve s the difference it makes when

:43:01.:43:04.

you chop back. Because when she was there, ready for the attack and

:43:05.:43:09.

she's coming up to them now, hurdle eight, going into nine, she's there

:43:10.:43:13.

or thereabouts, she takes this well. And look how she's gaining on these

:43:14.:43:17.

women. All of a sudden, the brakes go on, check back and look at that,

:43:18.:43:21.

she gets drawn back by every single person in that field. When she goes

:43:22.:43:25.

home, she will watch this and feel and go, OK I can be up there close

:43:26.:43:34.

to that 53.9 mark. There were two good performances from Petersen and

:43:35.:43:40.

Nel. Seasons best. Muhammad is good. I think, obviously

:43:41.:43:47.

we will speak to Elidh in a moment. Let's talk about the American, she

:43:48.:43:50.

is the fastest in the world this year. That is not the best race we

:43:51.:43:55.

have seen from her. She is under pressure. Watch this last flight of

:43:56.:43:59.

hurdles. Over it and look how quickly she moves from the others.

:44:00.:44:04.

She has run a second faster than she has just produced here. When you

:44:05.:44:08.

talk about quality she has gone to 53 seconds. This American is full of

:44:09.:44:12.

running. You can see she's vulnerable. She's running at that 53

:44:13.:44:17.

mark. She is vulnerable. It is a mark of how far you have

:44:18.:44:23.

come that we are talking with a little disappointment about 54. 7.

:44:24.:44:28.

Until that last stumble that was a great race. There is a lot to work

:44:29.:44:32.

on. There is. I am really annoyed at myself. I made the same mistake in

:44:33.:44:38.

Monaco. I felt quite strong. I got tired in there.

:44:39.:44:44.

I lost my good position there. It has been a great season so far and

:44:45.:44:49.

you still have time to work on that last barrier and get that stride

:44:50.:44:54.

pattern correct for Rio. Exactly. It has been a hard few races recently.

:44:55.:44:59.

Hopefully I can go back into a bit of training. Iron out mistakes for

:45:00.:45:04.

Rio. Well, see you in Rio. Good work tonight. Thanks very much. Cheers.

:45:05.:45:11.

Just one more word on Dalilah Muhammad, Colin. She's got good

:45:12.:45:18.

speed as well, hasn't she? Hurdles well here. To me it was impressive

:45:19.:45:21.

this last 30 metres. If you remember in the days of

:45:22.:45:33.

Edwin, he flowed over the barriers. Muhammad is very similar.

:45:34.:45:38.

A really good win for her, continuing what is a very good

:45:39.:45:41.

season. Good to see her back to this form.

:45:42.:45:56.

Morgan Lake, 19 years of age has two tries at this height. She just saw

:45:57.:46:03.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson go clear. This, a third and final attempt.

:46:04.:46:10.

Lake xeeping in the high Julyin Rio could do -- high jump in Rio could

:46:11.:46:15.

do with this clearance. She gave that an absolute rattle. She knock

:46:16.:46:21.

today hard but it stays on. Morgan Lake has a new season's best by a

:46:22.:46:25.

centimetre. That's a great jump. Knocked it with

:46:26.:46:33.

her shoulders. Crash, bang, wallop of a jump. But it's a clearance and

:46:34.:46:37.

a season's best. Done the other end of the stadium

:46:38.:46:41.

it's taken an hour-and-a-half but the cream hasries ton the top, two

:46:42.:46:43.

men remain. Lavillenie a flawless card so far,

:46:44.:46:58.

as can you see. The bar is at 5. 90. He jumped over six metres in this

:46:59.:47:08.

stadium. He took the Olympic title. This first attempt is a good one. He

:47:09.:47:16.

knows that will be enough, it would seem for victory this evening,

:47:17.:47:27.

maybe. Kendrix will have to jump higher due to count back. Lavillenie

:47:28.:47:32.

flawless so far this evening. Talk about confidence boost. That's what

:47:33.:47:38.

it's all about ahead of Rio, clearance by some margin as well for

:47:39.:47:42.

the Frenchman. The flying Frenchman indeed. That's what it means to him.

:47:43.:47:51.

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

:47:52.:47:56.

There's daylight. He's head and shoulders above the best of the rest

:47:57.:48:04.

of the world. He's brilliant. All right then, 1. 95, equal personal

:48:05.:48:15.

best. She's jumped 1. 97 in taking the UK indoor title earlier next

:48:16.:48:19.

year. It is one of her best events, this and long jump. Two of the seven

:48:20.:48:24.

she will contest in the heptathlon in Rio. Oh, yes! Johnson-Thompson

:48:25.:48:36.

has gone clear! Wow. Well, I tell you what, ahead of Rio, that's just

:48:37.:48:43.

what she would have wanted, a boost in confidence. Your strength has got

:48:44.:48:48.

to be good to carry whatever else goes on and daylight. There may be

:48:49.:48:52.

more to come. Brilliant clearance on the second

:48:53.:48:54.

time of asking for Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

:48:55.:49:01.

STUDIO: A huge personal best outdoors for Katarina

:49:02.:49:03.

Johnson-Thompson. A huge boost to confidence for her as she heads to

:49:04.:49:09.

Rio. It would be enormous in terms of points. She stuttered on the high

:49:10.:49:13.

jump in Beijing last year and bombed out on her long jumpment Name of the

:49:14.:49:18.

game at this stage, it's about your mind. It has to be focussed. It has

:49:19.:49:24.

to know what it's doing. This is one of her really strong events. She

:49:25.:49:29.

needs this to go well. We talk about Jess in the hurdles, how she needs

:49:30.:49:33.

to hurdle well. This is what she needs. Because she's a great high

:49:34.:49:38.

jumper. It's so early on in the programme as well, to get the points

:49:39.:49:41.

from world class high jumping it's so important for somebody who could

:49:42.:49:45.

be challenging the top three, certainly challenging for medals.

:49:46.:49:48.

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

:49:49.:49:52.

learned from last year, is things may not always go right. You have to

:49:53.:49:56.

rebound from that first. She may have an event in Rio out of all of

:49:57.:50:00.

the events that may not go according to plan. You've got to be able to

:50:01.:50:06.

rebound and score more points and have personal best performances to

:50:07.:50:09.

make up for that. I think what happened to her last year was she

:50:10.:50:12.

just started to Spiral, once things started to go wrong. The start list

:50:13.:50:18.

for the men's 800 metres. Let's go out to Andrew Cotter, your

:50:19.:50:24.

commentator for this one. Look out for Bosse and Rotich. Bram

:50:25.:50:47.

Som is a professional pacemaker, European champion ten years ago in

:50:48.:50:52.

his own right, but spends most of his time pacing in the Diamond

:50:53.:50:57.

League and does it well. Nijel Amos from Botswana. Struggled with injury

:50:58.:51:01.

this season. We're looking to see what form he's in. Still 22.

:51:02.:51:12.

Ferguson Cheruiyot Rotich. Wins in Shanghai and Stockholm. Second at

:51:13.:51:20.

the Kenyan Olympic trials. Pierre-Ambroise Bosse, can blow hot

:51:21.:51:23.

and cold. Only fifth at the European Championships. Some very impressive

:51:24.:51:31.

runs this season. So too Brandon McBride, youngest in the line-up.

:51:32.:51:37.

Regularly below 1. 45 this season. Sharing of lanes for Charles Jock,

:51:38.:51:41.

what a story for him and his family to reach this point, Sudanese

:51:42.:51:47.

refugee and now in the United States team for Rio. Fred Couples likes to

:51:48.:51:52.

-- Thijmen Kupers likes to take it out early. Erik Sowinski will not be

:51:53.:52:01.

there in Rio. Charlie Grice sharing a lane with Geoffrey Riseley the

:52:02.:52:07.

Australian. Grice impressive in Monaco.

:52:08.:52:11.

A good challenge for him to get involved in an 800 metres race. Mark

:52:12.:52:19.

English of Ireland goes on the inside. There is Ferguson Cheruiyot

:52:20.:52:26.

Rotich. He should be the man to beat here in

:52:27.:52:37.

the men's 800 metres. And Bosse just inside Rotich. Amos in the orange

:52:38.:52:42.

shirt just outside. Bram Som on the far outside has been asked to take

:52:43.:52:47.

it through in 50 seconds through 400 metres and then 1. 16 to 600. We'll

:52:48.:52:53.

see how quickly they go. Who can forget that wonderful race four

:52:54.:52:58.

years ago when Rodisha was the winner. They all strung out behind

:52:59.:53:04.

him. All lifetime best times. Juf a gap from Som. -- just. The young

:53:05.:53:11.

Canadian following closest. Bram Som doing the job he's been asked to do,

:53:12.:53:15.

pacing them along. There's not much interest in that. There really can't

:53:16.:53:19.

be three weeks before the Olympic Games. It's not about running fast

:53:20.:53:23.

times. It's just about establishing where you are. Rotich, the Kenyan,

:53:24.:53:29.

who beat David Rodisha in the Kenyan trials. Is this a man we're going to

:53:30.:53:34.

be looking at in a few weeks? Charlie Grice has impressed so far.

:53:35.:53:38.

Using this race for his Olympic 1500 metre attack. Bram Som doing well.

:53:39.:53:44.

Down the back straight, Charlie Grice starting to run well. Bosse

:53:45.:53:50.

takes over. Amos tries to lift the pace with that ragged style. McBride

:53:51.:53:56.

an elegant runner inside. But Bosse leading them out at the moment.

:53:57.:53:59.

McBride and Amos in close contention. Charles Jock all the way

:54:00.:54:03.

at the back. Charlie Grice is labouring a bit. Here comes Bosse.

:54:04.:54:08.

McBride trying to lift the pace. But it's Pierre-Ambroise Bosse coming

:54:09.:54:11.

through for the victory surely. McBride, does he still have

:54:12.:54:13.

something? He's closing a little bit. But he's not going to get

:54:14.:54:17.

there. And Bosse hangs on, hangs on just. From McBride and Ferguson

:54:18.:54:23.

Cheruiyot Rotich came through. Amos in fourth. But Pierre-Ambroise

:54:24.:54:27.

Bosse, well, had ewas closest to the pacemaker when Som stepped aside, he

:54:28.:54:31.

took it on. What a time he's run there. He did it the brave way, the

:54:32.:54:38.

hard way, from the front. They said he can blow hot and cold. Fifth at

:54:39.:54:41.

the European Championships. But he was in charge.

:54:42.:54:46.

There -- in charge there. I think that was disappointment. A good

:54:47.:54:50.

result for Bosse. A surprise result in some ways. He's got the talent.

:54:51.:54:55.

On the big occasion he doesn't quite do it. Tonight he ran a perfect

:54:56.:54:58.

race. Charlie Grice coming off the track there, he's having a look at

:54:59.:55:02.

the time now and he'll be delighted. But here's boss is into the

:55:03.:55:05.

finishing straight. McBride from Canada chasing him. Amos, the

:55:06.:55:10.

Olympic Silver Medallist, and Rotich, the man looking to do well

:55:11.:55:14.

in Rio, both fading a little. Bosse holds them off. McBride runs well.

:55:15.:55:19.

Rotich just comes through and finishing on the screen you can see

:55:20.:55:22.

coming into shot at the back, there's Charlie Grice coming into

:55:23.:55:26.

the finishing straight. He'll be delighted with this. What a perfect

:55:27.:55:34.

time to run for him. A personal best for Charlie Grice. When he goes to

:55:35.:55:38.

Rio for the 1500 metres, he won't be contending with these guys, but he

:55:39.:55:41.

has a lot of confidence coming from that. There's Bosse. Very, very good

:55:42.:55:45.

performance. McBride looks impressive. Amos clearly struggling

:55:46.:55:51.

in third place and Rotich just overtaking him. These two on the way

:55:52.:55:55.

through, running well, running strongly. There's Rotich into third

:55:56.:55:59.

place. He'll be disappointed. There they come through. There's Charlie

:56:00.:56:04.

Grice about eighth place, but for him Eric terrific performance -- for

:56:05.:56:08.

him, a terrific performance. That's a perfect night for him. Bosse wins

:56:09.:56:13.

it. McBride second. Surprises behind. For me the run of the night

:56:14.:56:18.

and a great one for Great Britain, Charlie Grice. Confirmation of that

:56:19.:56:26.

and so far down the field, it rather gives a false impression for Charlie

:56:27.:56:29.

Grice. He's not on the first page there. Very impressive win for

:56:30.:56:39.

Bosse. If we can move it on to the next page, you'll see the time of

:56:40.:56:46.

Charlie Grice, the man who is a 1500 runner and here he shows the pace

:56:47.:56:50.

that he has. He will go to Rio in very good heart.

:56:51.:57:02.

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

:57:03.:57:09.

Ennis-Hill was in the first heat. Cleanly away. Rawlins leading them

:57:10.:57:21.

at the moment. Porter there. Jessica Ennis-Hill is there as well. What a

:57:22.:57:27.

run. The slightest breeze helping. But

:57:28.:57:30.

that will be quick from Jessica Ennis-Hill. Two things to look for

:57:31.:57:33.

there, who won the race, who qualified and the time of Jessica

:57:34.:57:39.

Ennis-Hill. She's smiling. Porter was there for a while. I think that

:57:40.:57:43.

is a race to be very, very pleased with for Jess Ennis-Hill.

:57:44.:57:48.

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

:57:49.:57:54.

I'm sure an inspiration to British athletes. Seren Bundy-Davies is in

:57:55.:57:59.

the studio. Must be fantastic having her in the team. Yeah, since

:58:00.:58:05.

watching her from 2012, it's great for the younger athletes to see her,

:58:06.:58:08.

especially after having a baby. Let's speak about your performance

:58:09.:58:12.

in the 400 metres. I have a man here who knows a thing or two. Let's have

:58:13.:58:19.

a look at your race. Michael? I think tell us about how you felt

:58:20.:58:23.

about the race tonight, first. You were in lane eight, that's a tough

:58:24.:58:27.

place to be. Were there nerves knowing what you have lined up

:58:28.:58:31.

behind you? In nine I was always out on my own. Hi to run my own race. I

:58:32.:58:35.

knew the girls would come up on me at some point. I just tried to pace

:58:36.:58:42.

it like I would a normal 400 metre race. I need to watch it back I

:58:43.:58:48.

think. You got out well here. It's a world class field behind you. They

:58:49.:58:53.

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

:58:54.:58:58.

fast start. She's starting to make a little bit a dent in the lead that

:58:59.:59:01.

you had. How did you feel at 200 metres, did you feel like you were

:59:02.:59:04.

exactly where you wanted to be in terms of your race plan? Yeah, I

:59:05.:59:09.

know Hastings goes out hard. I wanted to stay relaxed through 200

:59:10.:59:12.

and work the top bend. They did get away from me a bit. Unfortunately,

:59:13.:59:19.

you can see everyone now. What's your plan at this point on the way

:59:20.:59:23.

home, obviously you want to just run the best time you can run. Yeah,

:59:24.:59:26.

hold my form and yeah, hold it together for whatever I could. It

:59:27.:59:32.

was tough from lane nine. As far as times and against a field like that,

:59:33.:59:36.

this was an amazing opportunity for you. Do you feel you did what you

:59:37.:59:39.

needed to do? No, not really. I'm disappointed with the run. I might

:59:40.:59:44.

get lane nine in Rio. I need to be prepared to run from whatever lane.

:59:45.:59:49.

I can build from it and hopefully get the experience. Remarkably,

:59:50.:59:53.

you're the only Welsh athlete, I believe, in the British squad,

:59:54.:59:56.

holding it up for Wales. You may have done well in the euros but not

:59:57.:00:00.

quite representing athletics in the way we'd like in the British team.

:00:01.:00:05.

It's disappointing that such a small Welsh team. Lots of young junior

:00:06.:00:09.

athletes coming through. A lot of younger athletes will be in the next

:00:10.:00:12.

Olympics. That's nice to see as well. Yeah, hopefully I can bring us

:00:13.:00:17.

home a medal. Best of luck. And of course, the relay as well is very

:00:18.:00:21.

strong. You did so well in the worlds as well. We'll be watching

:00:22.:00:31.

you. The historic mile is about to get going.

:00:32.:00:43.

Thomas Lancashire, the two of them not going to Rio. One man who is.

:00:44.:00:59.

Bayer will be in the steeplechase. The Kenyans to watch out for Kiptoo,

:01:00.:01:16.

perhaps Magut. Not the biggest names from Kenya.

:01:17.:01:25.

So, the Emsley Carr Mile, full of tradition and history. All the way

:01:26.:01:35.

back to 19 53. So many great British athletes have won it over the years.

:01:36.:01:40.

I have to get retaliation in first. I know I haven't before Brendan says

:01:41.:01:42.

it. Many have won it over the years.

:01:43.:01:56.

This was the race when it was done at White City, the crowds would come

:01:57.:02:00.

and watch it. They would go to Crystal Palace. Here we have an

:02:01.:02:04.

enormous crowd watching the 64th running of this race, it was named

:02:05.:02:08.

after the editor of the News of the World. They support athletics for

:02:09.:02:16.

many years. In the history of great distance

:02:17.:02:20.

running is unfurled in this race when you look at the results. Two

:02:21.:02:28.

pacemakers in the orange vests. 57 for the first 400 metres. Pretty

:02:29.:02:33.

good pace. You can see Chris O'Hare on the back, straight from the off.

:02:34.:02:38.

That is good to see really, an aggressive first 400 metres from

:02:39.:02:39.

O'Hare. Cheruiyot, just 20 years of age. Got

:02:40.:02:49.

that kind of, almost hunched style if you like.

:02:50.:02:53.

Elijah Kipchirchir Kiptoo, not running as well as in previous

:02:54.:03:00.

years. Cheruiyot moves into the gap between

:03:01.:03:06.

himself or the gap he has allowed to dwap between himself and the

:03:07.:03:10.

pacemakers. Training with the British squad. Mo

:03:11.:03:15.

Farah and everybody up there. They have popped down to London, and they

:03:16.:03:23.

will be going out to Rio. Decent pace, the pacemakers are.

:03:24.:03:30.

1. 56 through 800 metres and there, third place on the inside and

:03:31.:03:34.

running a strong race and aggressively, which I think he has

:03:35.:03:39.

to do this, Chris O'Hare. He needs a confidence-booster from this event.

:03:40.:03:42.

He needs this before he goes to Rio. He needs to think, I am on the top

:03:43.:03:47.

of my form. These athletes are looking for little bits of

:03:48.:03:49.

information, about their training progress. Here the mile, not run as

:03:50.:03:56.

often these days. Personal bests are available in this race. Especially

:03:57.:04:02.

the pace they are going at. The pacemakers are ignored, which is

:04:03.:04:05.

sensible. And Thomas Lancashire moving through in fifth place, in

:04:06.:04:10.

the blue and yellow vest. Chris O'Hare has loths his position.

:04:11.:04:15.

Unusual for him -- lost has position. Unusual for him.

:04:16.:04:21.

Lancashire, Bayer on the outside. Wightman looking for room. Chris

:04:22.:04:28.

O'Hare struggling now. As the pacemakers step aside... Cheruiyot.

:04:29.:04:31.

Kiplagat. Embaye running well. O'Hare has gone

:04:32.:04:50.

out the back door as Lancashire stretches down the back straight. An

:04:51.:04:55.

impressive run from Jake Wightman. He's got power in him.

:04:56.:05:03.

Kiptoo trying to hold off the youngster, Cheruiyot is there. Look

:05:04.:05:04.

at Jake Wightman. Kiplagat finds a little bit extra.

:05:05.:05:22.

Kiplagat wins. Cheruiyot, second. Jake Wightman, fourth. The fast

:05:23.:05:29.

finishing Swede, Rogestedt, in fifth place. A great race at the front.

:05:30.:05:39.

Elijah Kipchirchir Kiptoo has not had a great -- Silas Kiplagat has

:05:40.:05:43.

not had a great year. On his day, he is one of the best Kenya have ever

:05:44.:05:48.

had. He would have been delighted to have form. Little r late for him in

:05:49.:05:53.

terms of -- a little late for him in terms of Rio.

:05:54.:05:59.

The three powerful Kenyans, sprinting in the finishing straight.

:06:00.:06:03.

Jake Wightman judged this race properly. Judged it perfectly. A

:06:04.:06:09.

personal best of 3.57 for young Jake Wightman. He's come out with a real

:06:10.:06:14.

bonus. 3.54 or less than that. Looking at it from here. We will get

:06:15.:06:18.

the official time in a moment. There they go into the straight.

:06:19.:06:27.

Cheruiyot... Challenging. Kiplagat powering there. The three Kenyans,

:06:28.:06:33.

strong enough and bold enough and there Jake Wightman, 3:54.2. . What

:06:34.:06:41.

a terrific performance. Kiplagat we have seen him among the

:06:42.:06:46.

greats and the pleasure of signing that famous book.

:06:47.:06:52.

He's won it before. This is his second time. There, Kiplagat signs

:06:53.:07:03.

the famous book. The 64th running of the Emsley Carr Mile.

:07:04.:07:07.

Being presented accordingly. The mile should be encouraged. It

:07:08.:07:20.

was a great performance there by Kiplagat. I thought young Jake

:07:21.:07:27.

Wightman, an impressive performance. Well done Jake Wightman. A personal

:07:28.:07:31.

best. Brilliant to see the history and

:07:32.:07:35.

tradition being upheld in this incredibly modern and forward

:07:36.:07:38.

thinking time and league meet here at the Olympic Stadium. Well, I hear

:07:39.:07:42.

that Colin is out and about somewhere. We don't normally get to

:07:43.:07:45.

see him here. Where could he be? I have been handed this piece of

:07:46.:07:55.

paper, the women's 100 metres final and Jessica Ennis-Hill has done a

:07:56.:07:58.

tremendous job in making this final. This is the super quality, when we

:07:59.:08:03.

talk about what these athletes are capable of? Will we see a world

:08:04.:08:07.

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

:08:08.:08:12.

into this final room here, they will settle themselves in the room and

:08:13.:08:16.

get prepared for that final challenge. It is the final of the

:08:17.:08:18.

women's 100 metres hurdles. This will be a new British record if

:08:19.:08:48.

she goes clear. It was another reasonable attempt. Possibly the

:08:49.:08:52.

best of her three, but a big confidence boost for her, as we

:08:53.:08:55.

said. A brilliant performance. An outdoor

:08:56.:09:01.

lifetime best. She will long jump tomorrow against Jessica Ennis-Hill.

:09:02.:09:09.

That is 198, remember. A bit of a clatter. The good news is she's got

:09:10.:09:16.

her springs back. A PB, a personal best, 1.95. . A

:09:17.:09:21.

good job. Lavillenie then looking to cap off a

:09:22.:09:33.

solid performance this evening. 5.97. This to match the height he

:09:34.:09:38.

cleared for gold. Not to be tonight. I was going to say the height he

:09:39.:09:44.

cleared to make gold, in 2012. Appreciative of the support.

:09:45.:09:50.

But, as ever, the pole vault ends in a foul, but a win for Lavillenie.

:09:51.:10:06.

Beitia, the recently crowned champion for the third time, looking

:10:07.:10:11.

very focussed. But carrying two fouls. Has to go clear. Oh, she

:10:12.:10:18.

seemed to salvage that and it is a great clearance for Beitia.

:10:19.:10:24.

Michael Johnson talked about athletes coming behind Russian

:10:25.:10:28.

athletes. She was fourth in this stadium, London 2012, behind two

:10:29.:10:35.

Russians. So, Beitia, of Spain, well, good luck to her ahead of Rio.

:10:36.:10:45.

And a week tonight, season's best for the Spanish athletes. A good

:10:46.:10:49.

clearance, with the slightest of rattles.

:10:50.:10:53.

Absolutely brilliant. 1.98. It is a glorious night here in the

:10:54.:11:08.

East End of London. And in 39 minutes, Usain Bolt will set the

:11:09.:11:11.

atmosphere crackling, just that little bit more. The Bolt-clock is

:11:12.:11:16.

on. The great man is competing in the 200 metres here just before

:11:17.:11:20.

10pm. His first competitive 200 metres of the year. A gold medal he

:11:21.:11:25.

hopes to retain in Rio, in three weeks' time.

:11:26.:11:29.

Another Olympic great getting ready to go in the final of the 100 metres

:11:30.:11:36.

hurdle is Jessica Ennis-Hill, who posted 12.74 earlier this evening in

:11:37.:11:40.

her heat. She will hope she's with the best of the best. The other heat

:11:41.:11:45.

was quicker. She can go quicker herself. She was denied running well

:11:46.:11:55.

in her last race. The conditions are primed for a good race. A great,

:11:56.:11:58.

great competition. Just what she needs to get her mind where she

:11:59.:12:03.

needs it. She is such a strong competitor.

:12:04.:12:07.

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

:12:08.:12:12.

they? This is the start - it is her favourite. It is fantastic for her.

:12:13.:12:16.

She will know where she wants to be and what she wants to take with her

:12:17.:12:22.

on the plane to Rio in terms of times and performances. This is not

:12:23.:12:27.

the event she's participating in the Olympics. It is one of the events,

:12:28.:12:31.

one of her best ones. She has the opportunity to compete against some

:12:32.:12:33.

of the best in the world that are in this race tonight. And this also is

:12:34.:12:38.

so fantastic for her, that this is one of her best events because it

:12:39.:12:45.

starts off the whole heptathlon. She will want to run a really fast

:12:46.:12:51.

time here tonight. It is a great track for her. It could not be a

:12:52.:12:56.

more perfect condition for her to produce a really fast time tonight.

:12:57.:13:04.

She went into the chasmships in bay -- championships in Beijing after

:13:05.:13:07.

the birth of her son. She had not really tested herself as much as she

:13:08.:13:11.

had in the build-up to London. She's had that extra year of training now.

:13:12.:13:14.

She looks different to the athlete we saw in Beijing. She does. She is

:13:15.:13:19.

stronger. She has had issues this season, with minor tears. So it has

:13:20.:13:24.

not been an ideal preparation. Her experience allows her to say, look,

:13:25.:13:29.

I will choose my competitions wisedly and only compete when I am

:13:30.:13:33.

ready and so, she will put down a marker and this is why the

:13:34.:13:37.

heptathlon is so great in this event for her. She puts down the marker

:13:38.:13:43.

and everybody has to chase. In The Stadium tonight one of her main

:13:44.:13:53.

rivals says she will score more points than her when she gets it

:13:54.:13:58.

right. She is still there, pushing the barriers, pushing all of us to

:13:59.:14:02.

be the very, very best. We expect a great race. Andrew Cotter.

:14:03.:14:07.

And Jessica Ennis-Hill has been given the same lane as in 2012 when

:14:08.:14:13.

she ran 12.54. What a line-up against her. The strength of the

:14:14.:14:19.

Americans. They have had a couple of Jamaicans. They have such strength

:14:20.:14:22.

in this event and have for many years.

:14:23.:14:33.

Tiffany Porter goes for Great Britain as well. She had to go

:14:34.:14:39.

second best to Jessica Ennis-Hill. Zagre on the inside. The Belgian

:14:40.:14:44.

champion. There were some quick times in the heats.

:14:45.:14:49.

Tiffany Porter is just a couple of tenths of a seconds down from her

:14:50.:14:54.

best. She has been competent this year

:14:55.:15:01.

without set heather on fire. -- setting the heather on fire.

:15:02.:15:05.

Talay is here to compete in the final.

:15:06.:15:09.

Stowers, we talk about the US trials and she fell at the last hurdle at

:15:10.:15:15.

the trials. In contention for second or third place.

:15:16.:15:24.

Nia Ali won her heat this evening. Rollins hit the heat pretty hard.

:15:25.:15:26.

There is Harrison. you. The historic mile is about to

:15:27.:15:31.

get going. Pearson will not be in Rio after

:15:32.:15:43.

tearing her hamstring. There is Rollins. They see her on the big

:15:44.:15:51.

screen and start to cheer. CHEERING If she can run close to her

:15:52.:16:01.

time from the heats, she'll be pleased. Castlin in lane nine.

:16:02.:16:19.

You know that Harrison in lane six, she feels she has a point to prove.

:16:20.:16:27.

Made 12. 40 look so comfortable in the heats. She goes there.

:16:28.:16:39.

All of America in four, five, six, seven. Ennis-Hill in eight.

:16:40.:17:05.

Cleanly away. Ali there. Harrison into a slight lead. Oh, and down

:17:06.:17:15.

goes StowerS here comes Harrison fly. 12. 58, not quite as quick.

:17:16.:17:26.

She won by a huge margin. She says once again, you'll be missing me in

:17:27.:17:30.

Rio. I am number one. That is the nature of the US trials.

:17:31.:17:37.

Here tonight in London, she has won. Well, it has been with a clock, the

:17:38.:17:41.

clock has been corrected, I thought it was faster. Look at the clock now

:17:42.:17:50.

- it is a new world record! And the ancient record has gone. Harrison

:17:51.:17:57.

will not be at the Olympics, but she is the world record holder of the

:17:58.:18:03.

100m hurdles. London rises to her. One of the oldest marks in the book

:18:04.:18:08.

has gone. It's gone to Kendra Harrison. I was sitting next to

:18:09.:18:13.

Steve Cram and as we were watching this race, I said, this is quick. No

:18:14.:18:17.

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

:18:18.:18:23.

dismay. It looks like she's dipped under that clock and the second time

:18:24.:18:30.

was given. What a performance. Right at the beginning, I did introduce

:18:31.:18:35.

when we were down in the call room, the quality of the field. Knowing

:18:36.:18:38.

that this young lady has the ability. We saw her cruise through

:18:39.:18:45.

the first rounds. 12. 40 looking easy and steady. And she just went

:18:46.:18:49.

for it in the final. What a race. We're all deprived of her in Rio.

:18:50.:18:54.

Hurdles is one of the things, it shouldn't be like this in the

:18:55.:18:58.

hurdles. I know that's the nature of the US trials. She has some

:18:59.:19:01.

compensation tonight. But it is a real shame that she will not be in

:19:02.:19:09.

Rio. She is the world record holder. That record set, goes back to 1988.

:19:10.:19:14.

This crowd has been treated with a phenomenal performance. What a

:19:15.:19:17.

really, really landmark performance from her. 12. 20 and as you said,

:19:18.:19:26.

taking that world record, phenomenal performance by this young lady. We

:19:27.:19:31.

all watched and thought, that time is surely quicker than 12. 57. She

:19:32.:19:37.

went under and Rollins came through in second place at 12. 57. Almost

:19:38.:19:42.

four tenths of a second behind Harrison. That is athletics history

:19:43.:19:48.

made tonight in London. She's full of emotion, look hat

:19:49.:19:51.

that. She cannot believe what's happened here in London town. Let's

:19:52.:19:54.

watch it. Explodes out of the blocks. A clean

:19:55.:19:59.

first hurdles. Looks like she falls off the barrier. She runs after that

:20:00.:20:04.

trail leg so aggressively. This is a world class field. She's destroying

:20:05.:20:10.

them. Look at the margin of victory. Worked hard all the way through. Can

:20:11.:20:13.

you see with that dip, which we didn't see in the first round how

:20:14.:20:19.

she managed to go under the photo finish. All action going on around

:20:20.:20:24.

her, but she kept her head. World record performance. It's always

:20:25.:20:27.

great to witness history and we saw it here in London. Saw her run 12.

:20:28.:20:34.

24 earlier this year and got close to the old record. 12. 20 tonight.

:20:35.:20:37.

We knew the track was quick. We knew she was quick. But that is a

:20:38.:20:43.

world-class field. She has that gap, that lead over, an astonishing run

:20:44.:20:51.

by Kendra Harrison. Unfortunately, Jess Ennis-Hill didn't live up to

:20:52.:20:53.

what we were hoping she could do. She was in a field, she will

:20:54.:20:59.

remember this. She may have won the Olympic Games here, but she saw the

:21:00.:21:02.

world record run and she was in that race.

:21:03.:21:08.

Well, she didn't think she has h it. We didn't think, they ought Saul it

:21:09.:21:12.

and said to her, there you are, world record holder. What a very

:21:13.:21:18.

special moment and a very, very old record has gone from the books. 28

:21:19.:21:27.

years it has lasted, but now that mark has gone. Kendra Harrison is

:21:28.:21:33.

the world record holder. You have taken our breath away with

:21:34.:21:38.

that performance, just a phenomenal run. We can see the emotion in your

:21:39.:21:43.

eyes. Yeah, you know, not making the Olympic team I was really upset. I

:21:44.:21:46.

wanted to come out here and do what I know I could have done. My coach

:21:47.:21:52.

has been behind me this whole time. I'd like to thank God I'm healthy. I

:21:53.:21:56.

was coming out here with a vengeance to show these girls what I have. You

:21:57.:22:00.

were so dignified after what happened in the trials. There was a

:22:01.:22:04.

massive amount of sympathy for you coming here, 12. 4 in the heat and

:22:05.:22:09.

then maybe we got an indication that something very, very special was

:22:10.:22:12.

possible. Is that how you felt after running 12. 4 and looking so easy?

:22:13.:22:17.

Yeah, after running 12. 4 it got my confidence back. You have one bad

:22:18.:22:22.

day. I knew I still had it in me. I put my faith in God and ran as hard

:22:23.:22:30.

as I could today. You've broken a 28--year-old world record, it's the

:22:31.:22:33.

most amazing way for you to bounce back from heartache. You're not in

:22:34.:22:37.

Rio, but you've proven tonight that you are a great, great champion.

:22:38.:22:42.

Thank you. You know, I'm at a loss for words right now. I trained so

:22:43.:22:45.

hard for this moment. Good luck to the girls running in Rio. I'm just

:22:46.:22:51.

shocked right now. After you finish celebrating, will you make us a

:22:52.:22:55.

promise, make that team next year and come back here for the World

:22:56.:22:59.

Championships in London in 2017, we'd love to see you. I'll be back.

:23:00.:23:11.

Moments don't come much more special than that. Look at the face, the

:23:12.:23:16.

reaction and the joy. Can it make up though, in any way, for the fact

:23:17.:23:20.

that she won't be there in Rio. She takes the world record away from

:23:21.:23:24.

London but we're going to miss her brilliance in Rio, Michael. If I

:23:25.:23:28.

were angry before, when I saw her in the heat, I'm now incandescent.

:23:29.:23:32.

Yeah, but the thing is, I mean, I said to Denise right before that

:23:33.:23:36.

race, I said, she's out here to break a world record to make up for

:23:37.:23:40.

that. There are two things that every track and field athlete wants,

:23:41.:23:44.

Olympic Gold Medal, Olympic champion and you want a world record. She's

:23:45.:23:48.

already got one and she's still at the very beginning of her career.

:23:49.:23:52.

She has so much ahead of her. Will that make up for it? Absolutely.

:23:53.:23:57.

World records are special. That record stood for 28 years. Someone's

:23:58.:24:01.

going to be Olympic champion next year. Someone will be Olympic

:24:02.:24:05.

champion in 2020. This record could stand for another 28 years. That is

:24:06.:24:08.

one of the things in terms of your resume that you want at the top -

:24:09.:24:13.

world record holder. Now Kendra Harrison can say she is world record

:24:14.:24:18.

holder. When people look back on careers and greatness it's one of

:24:19.:24:21.

the things you are measured by. Yes, you have. Gold Medals is why we get

:24:22.:24:29.

into the Games. We looked into her eyes and we could see how much she

:24:30.:24:34.

wanted it. You can see her flawless deck neeck. She demonstrated that

:24:35.:24:40.

right here. Every sinew of her body drove her to the line. OK, her speed

:24:41.:24:46.

is incredible. Just see her dead centre. All the chaos around her.

:24:47.:24:52.

Nobody on her shoaleder to push her. She runs her own race. Rollins is

:24:53.:24:58.

one of the best in the world. Look at what she does to the best

:24:59.:25:03.

hurdlers in the world. She's almost a hurdle ahead. When I saw that time

:25:04.:25:07.

come up, I was shocked, because I was like, 12. 50 - come on, can't

:25:08.:25:12.

be. Because you could just see. I've never seen a race like that. We've

:25:13.:25:16.

seen lots of hurdle races but that was flawless and now she knows it

:25:17.:25:22.

and yes, Gaby, that makes up for it. I'm so happy for her. This is going

:25:23.:25:27.

to be a long, difficult summer without that, but that makes it a

:25:28.:25:32.

lot better for her. I love Lee low's face as well -- I love Ali ace face

:25:33.:25:40.

as well. You're competing against each other but that's a moment in

:25:41.:25:44.

time. If her record lives for half as long, maybe 14 years, this is her

:25:45.:25:48.

cementing her place in hurdling history. Absolutely. We have seen

:25:49.:25:54.

Pearson come close. We've seen Rollins at one stage think that she

:25:55.:25:59.

was going to break it. To do it after the disappointment of not

:26:00.:26:02.

making the Olympic team, it's all the more special. She's certainly an

:26:03.:26:09.

incredible athlete. She's lit up this stadium tonight. It was already

:26:10.:26:13.

cackling with enthusiasm and excitement that will see Usain Bolt

:26:14.:26:17.

later. We will get back on with the action now. There's been a slight

:26:18.:26:22.

delay in proceedings here while everybody soaks up what happened and

:26:23.:26:25.

what they've seen here tonight. Let's get back down to the action.

:26:26.:26:34.

It's the women's 1500 metres. That's our pacemaker Chanelle Price.

:26:35.:26:39.

She will be asked to set a good pace for Laura Muir, who is in great

:26:40.:26:44.

form. We will hope she can compete in Rio. Hassan has had injury

:26:45.:26:56.

problems this year. Stephanie Twell. The Australian, Linden Hall, who's

:26:57.:27:02.

had a cracking year this year. Laura Weightman will join Laura Muir at

:27:03.:27:09.

the Olympics. Bought bought from Sweden, again -- Bahta from Sweden.

:27:10.:27:20.

Morgan Uceny. Maureen Koster from the Netherlands and Axumawit Embaye

:27:21.:27:27.

on the inside. Charlene Thomas was due to run, but sadly taken ill.

:27:28.:27:32.

Still 15 athletes in the field. The women's 1500 metres.

:27:33.:27:39.

The likes of the two British remembertives in Rio --

:27:40.:27:42.

representatives in Rio, a good opportunity to get a confidence

:27:43.:27:47.

boosting performance in. Chanelle Price has been asked to

:27:48.:27:51.

take them through in the round to eight. She's experienced at that.

:27:52.:27:57.

Not surprisingly Laura Muir has slotted straight in behind her,

:27:58.:28:03.

means business. A great run in Oslo, Paula, and Laura Weightman and Laura

:28:04.:28:07.

Muir got into a messy race in Stockholm. They'll be hoping that

:28:08.:28:11.

doesn't happen tonight. The pacemaker went out and everybody

:28:12.:28:14.

gathered together. I suspect we might see the two of them trying to

:28:15.:28:17.

clear out a bit more tonight. Yeah, I think so. Chanelle Price is very

:28:18.:28:24.

experienced. She was the pace maker in Monaco last year. She knows how

:28:25.:28:29.

to run an even paced couple of laps which they need to string out the

:28:30.:28:33.

field. You need this to be strung out. Laura Muir is running

:28:34.:28:37.

positively and Laura Weightman moving up to get onto her shoulder.

:28:38.:28:42.

Behind that Linden Hall running so well. And Amanda Ecclestone into

:28:43.:28:46.

fourth place. One of the heart breaking, another one missed out on

:28:47.:28:52.

Olympic selection, probably the story of the US trials. She's

:28:53.:28:56.

running to capitalise because she's in this year and to come out and

:28:57.:29:05.

race the rest of the season. Sifan Hassan starting to move closer. She

:29:06.:29:09.

had such a brilliant last couple of years, with one or two, well a big

:29:10.:29:14.

injury problem with the hamstring since the world Indoor Championships

:29:15.:29:17.

in March. Starting to come back to form now. A gap appearing here.

:29:18.:29:21.

Laura Muir hangs onto Chanelle Price. The others look reticent to

:29:22.:29:27.

go after Laura Muir. That gap is being created. Hassan has decided

:29:28.:29:36.

she's after the Scot. It's a reasonably quick pace here. Hassan

:29:37.:29:41.

is moving quickly. She recognises the danger. Laura Muir has done this

:29:42.:29:49.

before, going out hard behind the pacemaker and carried it through in

:29:50.:29:53.

Oslo. We've seen that. She has the capability to do that. Sifan Hassan

:29:54.:29:56.

recognising now and moving up to close the gap. Laura Weightman, just

:29:57.:30:02.

a few places further back there. Working to close the gap as is

:30:03.:30:10.

Maureen Koster. Laura Muir leading, Sifan Hassan, then Laura Weightman

:30:11.:30:15.

in fourth place. Koster moving up. Laura Muir putting her foot down and

:30:16.:30:18.

trying to move away from the field. Only Hassan going with her. Sifan

:30:19.:30:24.

Hassan, the world indoor champion, struggling with these injuries. Now

:30:25.:30:27.

starting to come back to her best. These two well clear. Weightman

:30:28.:30:31.

moves no third with Bahta of Sweden coming up. Laura Muir attacking this

:30:32.:30:35.

from the front. The crowd trying to lift her. These two a good ten

:30:36.:30:37.

metres clear of the field. Jake Wightman has raced 800 metres.

:30:38.:30:52.

-- Laura Weightman has raced 800 metres. She knows who is sat on her

:30:53.:30:56.

shoulder. She knows she's in shape this year. She has the capability

:30:57.:31:02.

this year. It is really am impressive running

:31:03.:31:05.

from Laura Muir. Down the back straight, she has opened. Look at

:31:06.:31:11.

the grit she is showing here. Her teeth bared as she fights to pull

:31:12.:31:16.

away from Sifan Hassan. She is managing to do it. It is a stunning

:31:17.:31:19.

run. Sifan Hassan gives it up. She is

:31:20.:31:24.

well clear in second place, but Laura Muir, coming into the home

:31:25.:31:29.

straight and this is a massive performance from her. She is heading

:31:30.:31:33.

for a quick time here as well. She's got this race won. That is for

:31:34.:31:39.

sure. And Laura Muir - a long, long way ahead. A massive performance.

:31:40.:31:50.

5:57.51 and that is a new British record, I think. If it gets

:31:51.:31:56.

confirmed, Kelly Holmes has been obliterated from the best of all

:31:57.:32:02.

time British athletes by Laura Muir, of Scotland and Great Britain. The

:32:03.:32:10.

23 23-year-old was so strong on that last lap. Yes, it is a record.

:32:11.:32:18.

But have you ever seen, Paula, the strength, coupled with the speed,

:32:19.:32:21.

obviously. She was aggressive from the start and what a reward for her.

:32:22.:32:30.

3.57. . 49. It is official. A new British record for Laura Muir.

:32:31.:32:35.

Absolutely brilliant. That was a really great run. It is so good to

:32:36.:32:38.

see her getting the enjoyment from that as well. She really worked hard

:32:39.:32:42.

for. That we said at the beginning oh this programme, what a phenomenal

:32:43.:32:46.

talent she is and the capabilities she has to take that step up to a

:32:47.:32:51.

medallist at the Olympic Games. She has really underlined that here

:32:52.:32:54.

tonight and the manner which she did it address well. The way she worked

:32:55.:32:58.

hard -- as well. The way she worked hard. Maybe this year Sifan is not

:32:59.:33:04.

as strong as previous years. She has suffered with injuries at the

:33:05.:33:06.

beginning of the season. Around this bend, look at the determination on

:33:07.:33:10.

the face of Laura Muir and there's the look back from Sifan.

:33:11.:33:18.

There's no going back to Laura Muir, who has the crowd on their feet,

:33:19.:33:24.

roaring her on. They maybe didn't realise she was going to eclipse the

:33:25.:33:29.

record of Kelly Holmes. She would not have done until she crossed the

:33:30.:33:34.

line. You can see how she's pulling her body towards that line, trying

:33:35.:33:40.

to get every last inch out of it. She will be glad she's beaten Sifan

:33:41.:33:46.

Hassan. It will hit her later how fast she has run.

:33:47.:33:50.

Laura Weightman was fourth in a season's best.

:33:51.:33:57.

Eilish McColgan, nearly as quick as her mum, who ran a quick 1500 many,

:33:58.:34:01.

many years ago. She will be desighted with that. -- delighted

:34:02.:34:08.

with that. They all have their reasons to be pleased, but no more

:34:09.:34:13.

than Laura Muir. The new British record holder, quicker than Kelly

:34:14.:34:22.

Holmes. Laura Muir, 3.57. 59. So brave, so bold, so confident.

:34:23.:34:24.

Absolutely amazing. Laura, you had to ask me, it was a

:34:25.:34:32.

British record, wasn't it? And the confirmation from Steve in the

:34:33.:34:35.

commentary box and everyone around The Stadium, yes, you have beaten

:34:36.:34:40.

the mark held by Kelly Holmes. What a run. I knew I was in good shape. I

:34:41.:34:45.

wanted to go out there and do it justice. I wanted to test myself and

:34:46.:34:49.

see what I would do. I thought I was about four minutes, but to get the

:34:50.:34:54.

record, I am so shocked. I am just, yeah... You went early and looked

:34:55.:34:58.

brilliant down the back straight with 250 to go. You pulled away from

:34:59.:35:03.

Hassan. Could you feel the energy of the crowd willing you on? You were

:35:04.:35:06.

getting an incredible response? Definitely. To be on home soil is

:35:07.:35:13.

amazing, but to run at the Olympic Stadium is amazing.

:35:14.:35:19.

When you have finished celebrating about tonight there is the prospect

:35:20.:35:24.

of Rio and this confirms you are, without doubt n the shape of your

:35:25.:35:28.

life, and there will be a big opportunity for you in Brazil. Yes,

:35:29.:35:32.

definitely. My first Olympics. I am over the moon to be going there.

:35:33.:35:36.

Olympics is completely different to something like this. It is a

:35:37.:35:39.

tactical race. It will be slower, scrapie. I am as ready as I can be.

:35:40.:35:45.

I am looking forward to it. For now, celebrate a brilliant British

:35:46.:35:46.

record. Well done. Thank you. For Laura Muir, this is something

:35:47.:36:01.

she will remember for the rest of her life. A great setting here.

:36:02.:36:11.

A British record. A host of season's bests, Hassan behind her.

:36:12.:36:14.

As I said, Eilish McColgan, with a big personal best.

:36:15.:36:24.

Looking into this great stadium and what a run we had just before that

:36:25.:36:32.

in the 100 hurdles. Look at that mark at the top and Kendra Harrison

:36:33.:36:37.

said she didn't want missing selection to define her season. That

:36:38.:36:42.

time defines her season. That defines her career.

:36:43.:36:49.

It is an amazing stadium. Christian Taylor-Outridge is here four years

:36:50.:36:57.

ago in the triple jump. Has been a class apart in the competition. We

:36:58.:37:03.

are in the last round. He's had two jumps, would have won, anyway. He's

:37:04.:37:10.

won the competition. I thought we would have to settle for something

:37:11.:37:28.

ordinary. Tailor stamps his authority on this

:37:29.:37:33.

event n the last competition, prior to Rio. Close to 18 metres. That

:37:34.:37:40.

looks almost perfect on the board. A slight glitch in his season so far

:37:41.:37:45.

is he was beat no-one the American trials by his team-mate Will Clay.

:37:46.:37:57.

Look at that, 17.78. Undoubtedly the favourite. A world lead.

:37:58.:38:08.

We have seen a British record, the fast men have a lot to live up to.

:38:09.:38:15.

This, the line-up for the final of the men's 100 metres. Two Britains

:38:16.:38:16.

in there. There is Richard Kilty. He did

:38:17.:38:32.

finish strongly to make it to the final. Again a man with a point to

:38:33.:38:39.

prove. Didn't make qualification for the individual in Rio. He will be

:38:40.:38:46.

there as part of the Rio squad. Kim Collins was out so quickly in

:38:47.:38:51.

his heat. Again can he cope with running two

:38:52.:38:55.

races within an hour-and-a-half of each other? Sometimes can cramp up.

:38:56.:39:01.

Isiah Young in lane three for the United States.

:39:02.:39:07.

And there is Jimmy Vicaut. The only man below 10 seconds in the heats.

:39:08.:39:13.

He has run 9.86 this season. Can he go close to that? Julian Forte,

:39:14.:39:26.

10.05 personal best to chase. Ujah won his heat. A disappointing

:39:27.:39:32.

time in that heat, but Ujah was clear of the rest and earns the

:39:33.:39:39.

cheers as a result. Third place for Marvin Bracy. It

:39:40.:39:43.

tells you about the calibre of this man. He'll be heading to Rio.

:39:44.:39:53.

Martina, won the 100s in Amsterdam. The European Championships recently.

:39:54.:39:57.

Made the final of the 100 and 200 here.

:39:58.:40:03.

Rodgers, always a great starter. He is on the outside in lane nine.

:40:04.:40:06.

So many of the races have been delivering, in terms of times.

:40:07.:40:21.

Vicaut, 9 .95 it was rounded down to. He starts here as the favourite.

:40:22.:40:27.

In lane four. Richard Kilty in the inside.

:40:28.:40:42.

Mike Rodgers in lane nine on the outside. The final of the men's 100

:40:43.:40:47.

metres. There wasn't any noise going on. It

:40:48.:41:00.

must have been something that the starter is not happy with. I was

:41:01.:41:04.

scanning around there and I couldn't see what is going on, but you can

:41:05.:41:09.

see the green marker has gone up. So, none of the athletes are at

:41:10.:41:12.

fault. They have to settle themselves again.

:41:13.:41:14.

It is just a technical. Vicaut takes it just ahead of Young.

:41:15.:42:02.

10.03. Vicaut takes the victory. And on a

:42:03.:42:08.

night of extraordinary achievements something of an anti- climax with

:42:09.:42:16.

the men's being won in 10.03. He heads to Rio as a contender. I think

:42:17.:42:22.

a few of these sprinters will be slightly disappointed they couldn't

:42:23.:42:25.

deliver quicker times tonight. That looked like real hard work, didn't

:42:26.:42:29.

it? He had to haul himself through the field to get to the line first

:42:30.:42:34.

in only, and I mean that, in only 10.02. But the victory will always

:42:35.:42:39.

be key. Let's look at this race and see exactly how it all pans out.

:42:40.:42:44.

Jimmy Vicaut in the middle of the field. He gets upright quickly. He's

:42:45.:42:48.

never one of these athletes who drives out of the blocks. He gets

:42:49.:42:53.

into his running very, very quickly. He loses grounds and then gains it

:42:54.:42:59.

as he hauls himself through that. I think they all may be disappointed

:43:00.:43:03.

when they read the clock and performances. Vicaut didn't get the

:43:04.:43:06.

best of starts. Vicaut powering through. We have

:43:07.:43:18.

been spoilt this evening. We are expecting magic to happen every time

:43:19.:43:22.

an athlete steps on the track. Vicaut was pretty impressive. I am

:43:23.:43:23.

sure he'll be a contend -- contender in Rio. There is

:43:24.:43:42.

somebody lining up soon, who is a desprinter as well, I hear. It is

:43:43.:43:44.

not Vicaut running the quickest time of

:43:45.:43:55.

the evening in the heats and in the final doing enough to take the

:43:56.:43:59.

victory. Just outside 10 second. Jimmy Vicaut, he was disappointing

:44:00.:44:04.

at the European Championships, finished second there. He will go to

:44:05.:44:07.

Rio in decent condition. Well, Jimmy Vicaut is taking a

:44:08.:44:19.

moment to compose himself. There he is. He's got his energy back.

:44:20.:44:26.

Congratulations. Not so fast tonight, but you've had a good year,

:44:27.:44:30.

do you take confidence from this going forward for Rio? I am sorry, I

:44:31.:44:35.

speak little English. But I am very happy. I'm a winner this year. Last

:44:36.:44:46.

year I finished fifth. I am very happy and to prepare for two weeks

:44:47.:44:54.

and then go. Well done. Your English is better

:44:55.:45:01.

than my fren. We will call it -- than my French. We will call it

:45:02.:45:04.

quits there. See you in Brazil. Thank you.

:45:05.:45:16.

lift her. These two a good ten metres clear of the field.

:45:17.:45:17.

We're at the start of the 200 metres and Usain Bolt there, just getting

:45:18.:45:27.

into his blocks, working out his distances, taking it all very

:45:28.:45:30.

seriously at the moment. He's not yet doing his thing, where he gets

:45:31.:45:34.

the crowd going, he gets them partying. He's a serious man. This

:45:35.:45:39.

is his first 200 metres this year, competitive 200 metres. This will

:45:40.:45:43.

tell him exactly where he's at right now and some athletes are looking at

:45:44.:45:48.

today as a bonus as they head to Rio, for him this is really

:45:49.:45:50.

important. It's really important because he will want to know where

:45:51.:45:53.

he is. When I talked to him yesterday, he talked about his

:45:54.:45:56.

training, which is a great indicator for someone like him, who has the

:45:57.:46:01.

experience that he does. The training is a great Kator as --

:46:02.:46:06.

indicator as well. This will give him a map in terms what have he

:46:07.:46:09.

wants to do between now and the Games in Rio. But make no bones

:46:10.:46:15.

about it, if this doesn't work out exactly quite like he wants it to,

:46:16.:46:19.

that doesn't really matter for him. He still has time and as we've seen

:46:20.:46:24.

in the past, he's able to make up time like nobody else. He's able to

:46:25.:46:28.

get himself ready and in race condition better than anyone else.

:46:29.:46:32.

He doesn't absolutely have to have races to do that. It's a bonus for

:46:33.:46:36.

this crowd that they get to see him. I think he's in very good shape,

:46:37.:46:40.

because if you look at his progression up to the Jamaican

:46:41.:46:43.

trials, he didn't have any hiccups, no injuries. Whereas last year, his

:46:44.:46:47.

preparation, the entire season was littered with injuries. He's in a

:46:48.:46:50.

better position here. I think that he's going to run really well here.

:46:51.:46:55.

I'm a little surprised that he allows some of the faster guys to

:46:56.:46:59.

line up behind him. He likes to put himself under the pressure. He gets

:47:00.:47:03.

to choose his lane. He can pretty much choose where everyone else

:47:04.:47:06.

wants to go. He chose to be out further and let those guys try to

:47:07.:47:11.

chase him down. Adam Gemili in lane eight, running in the 200 metres for

:47:12.:47:16.

Great Britain in Rio. This will be a big test for him as well. He had his

:47:17.:47:21.

big injury problems last year, missed the World Championships,

:47:22.:47:25.

having shown so much promise when he launched himself in 2012. I'm

:47:26.:47:30.

surprised to see he's only run 20. 34 this year. He has to show

:47:31.:47:34.

something here tonight. Between now and the Games he has a lot of work

:47:35.:47:37.

to do. This is an opportunity, being out there on the outside, you know,

:47:38.:47:42.

he's going to have to run. He knows Bolt will be back there. The best

:47:43.:47:51.

advice is to go back to childhood - run. Just run and run to win. If he

:47:52.:47:56.

can set a season's best that will be a good indicator for him and that

:47:57.:47:59.

will be good in terms of confidence. He has that experience now through

:48:00.:48:03.

major championships and getting there through the rounds and getting

:48:04.:48:06.

into finals. He's done that very well. Obviously medals at the

:48:07.:48:10.

European and Commonwealth Games as well as making finals at the worlds.

:48:11.:48:14.

Unlike a lot of athletes, you were saying from the American

:48:15.:48:17.

qualifications... Very fresh and young, having had that experience

:48:18.:48:20.

and that counts for a lot. Yeah, it does. One thing about, I like this

:48:21.:48:25.

race much better for him. He's such an efficient runner. So if he can

:48:26.:48:30.

just get around that bend, he's going to - technically, it will be

:48:31.:48:34.

fantastic. The thing about him, he doesn't have good speed endurance,

:48:35.:48:39.

he's not going to fall apart because he's so technically sound. This is a

:48:40.:48:43.

good race for him. I like this race for him. 20. 3 is very

:48:44.:48:47.

disappointing. You have to get down to 20. 1 today. You talk about the

:48:48.:48:53.

contrasts of the two athletes. Bolt doesn't need a lot of races I think

:48:54.:48:59.

Adam does. Because of that hamstring injury, he hasn't got the technique

:49:00.:49:02.

or actually, I think, the confidence at the moment to really put his foot

:49:03.:49:06.

down. He's going to need to do that tonight. Is that the legacy of his

:49:07.:49:12.

injury, that he will feel nervous? With such a bad injury, we saw him

:49:13.:49:18.

run at the trials, his form wasn't as silky as he's been. What I'd like

:49:19.:49:22.

from tonight is that I see that smooth Adam come back, the guy who

:49:23.:49:24.

does a great turn and holds his form. That will come through

:49:25.:49:28.

confidence. That's why tonight is so important for him. Important for him

:49:29.:49:33.

and important for Usain Bolt to come out on this track, where he was a

:49:34.:49:37.

multi-Gold Medal winner in London and lay down a marker to the world.

:49:38.:49:41.

He's not here, Gatlin, but he will be watching and know the form this

:49:42.:49:47.

man's in. Again, Bolt is not going to do or die by this race tonight.

:49:48.:49:52.

He will want to run well and I think he will. I can guarantee you there's

:49:53.:49:57.

no concern at all about the injury. But he admitted to me and he said

:49:58.:50:00.

it, I get nervous before the 200 metres. So I think that tonight,

:50:01.:50:06.

this being his first 200 metres, you've got to give credit. He comes

:50:07.:50:11.

to his first 200 metres out here on a big race and lets those guys line

:50:12.:50:16.

up behind him. Let's go to Steve Cram.

:50:17.:50:21.

Thanks very much. Michael making valid points around you know where

:50:22.:50:25.

everybody is in terms of preparation for Rio. Bolt has to do something

:50:26.:50:30.

which most other athletes, well all others don't have to do. All the

:50:31.:50:36.

demands he has this week for all types of media and he has to take

:50:37.:50:39.

that in his stride, which he usually does, of course. He's in lane six.

:50:40.:50:45.

Gemili in eight. We will go through them one by one. This man, if you

:50:46.:50:54.

want to see somebody who gets a surprise when he was told he'd won

:50:55.:51:03.

the Gold Medal at the European Championships in Amsterdam, because

:51:04.:51:09.

Martine was disqualified. Chatting to Gemili, he had a cold earlier in

:51:10.:51:15.

the week. Let's see how he goes here. Edward getting back into good

:51:16.:51:19.

form. Won the Diamond League in Monaco. Here he is, though.

:51:20.:51:22.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE This big crowd here in the Olympic

:51:23.:51:39.

Stadium hoping he can give them something to cheer. What about

:51:40.:51:48.

Brendon Rodney. The Canadian champion, this year, very talented.

:51:49.:51:53.

Christophe Lemaitre, athletics fans will know him. Coming back to good

:51:54.:51:57.

form in Monaco. A season's best there. He was second behind Edward.

:51:58.:52:05.

Ashmeade knows Bolt very well. Usually the man in the past who he

:52:06.:52:11.

has handed to in the relay. Because this afternoon discallification in

:52:12.:52:15.

the final of the European Championships, he moved into third

:52:16.:52:19.

and took the bronze medal. Going to Rio of course. And then on

:52:20.:52:28.

the inside, Sean McLean, 24-year-old American. Zblt scene set and a

:52:29.:52:38.

familiar one for Usain Bolt, one which has given him so many memories

:52:39.:52:43.

of 2012. So much has happened since then, but that will never be taken

:52:44.:52:48.

away from him. He was the star of the Games, as he

:52:49.:52:52.

so often is. He is the star of tonight. We've had such a great

:52:53.:52:59.

night so far. What can this great man, this great athlete, deliver for

:53:00.:53:00.

us? The men's 200 metre final. False start. I don't think it was

:53:01.:53:21.

Bolt. So we'll wait and see. It was in lane one possibly. That's come up

:53:22.:53:26.

on the computer as a reaction time. If you're in lane one in the 200

:53:27.:53:31.

metres against Usain Bolt, you may be thinking - no-one's watching,

:53:32.:53:35.

I'll get away quick. Doesn't work that way.

:53:36.:53:39.

So let's see if that is what the officials, if they go with the

:53:40.:53:41.

machinery. That all just adds a little, Colin,

:53:42.:53:55.

to the drama. We love drama. We love drama. But that will relax that man.

:53:56.:54:01.

He is under a bit of pressure. He's now thinking to himself - what do I

:54:02.:54:07.

need to do? I'd say run fast. I think he's going to have one less to

:54:08.:54:12.

beat. The athlete in lane one is disqualified. Ah, Sean.

:54:13.:54:23.

Sean McLean may well be, I'm trying to think in terms of big meets, he

:54:24.:54:29.

ran in the as low Diamond League and in Birmingham. Maybe a little bit of

:54:30.:54:36.

nerves on the big stage here. Just got to him. Any way, so, as we

:54:37.:54:45.

were, down to eight men. Talbot in two, Ashmeade in three, Lemaitre in

:54:46.:54:49.

four, Rodney, the very good Canadian in lane five with Usain Bolt in six.

:54:50.:54:57.

Edward in seven. Then Adam Gemili in lane eight and the new European

:54:58.:55:03.

champion from Spain Horteland-Roig in lane nine.

:55:04.:55:19.

This isn't going well. You can hear the interference that was coming

:55:20.:55:27.

through the Speakers, which the starter was right to bring them up.

:55:28.:55:31.

It's nobody's fault. I'm sure the crowd heard it as well. Got to be

:55:32.:55:36.

fair to the athletes. You've got to give them the opportunity to

:55:37.:55:39.

concentrate and focus. This is a big race for many of these athletes,

:55:40.:55:43.

remember. No bigger race than for this man here. Maybe the mechanism

:55:44.:55:55.

is getting nervous? Adam Gemili staying calm. As indeed is Bolt, I'm

:55:56.:56:04.

sure. Doesn't help, though. He wants to win this and just a

:56:05.:56:08.

quick reminder, the fastest time in the world this year is 19. 74.

:56:09.:56:31.

Safely away this time. And Bolt is into his stride. Started pretty

:56:32.:56:39.

quickly. Lemaitre trying to get back into this. Bolt leading. Bolt has a

:56:40.:56:47.

two metre lead. Edward is coming back at him. He wins it. The win for

:56:48.:56:59.

Bolt. He's back in business. It wasn't super fast, but it was good

:57:00.:57:05.

enough tonight. He beat a pretty good field. It was certainly good

:57:06.:57:10.

enough to please a very big crowd. For Usain Bolt a confidence booster

:57:11.:57:16.

that will just send a little bit of a message to say - 19. 89, OK, by

:57:17.:57:22.

his standards that's not really that fast, but let's face it, there still

:57:23.:57:26.

aren't many people in the world can run under 20 seconds. If he's

:57:27.:57:31.

healthy and he's undoubtedly going to improve and get quicker by the

:57:32.:57:36.

time we get to Rio, he doesn't look too happy at the minute, but I'm

:57:37.:57:40.

sure he will be happy to get that under his belt, to have got the win

:57:41.:57:45.

and a pretty solid time. I think he will be happy in the sense that race

:57:46.:57:49.

is out of the way. It's out of his system. First time is a strong

:57:50.:57:55.

performance. To go under 20 seconds is great. To go under 19. 90 is

:57:56.:58:01.

good. Fifth fastest in the world this year, your first competitive

:58:02.:58:06.

200 metres. Rio is three weeks away. Are you in shape? I'm getting there.

:58:07.:58:10.

I'm not fully in shape. I need more work. Over time, I'll be fine. I

:58:11.:58:15.

just take my time and I'm going to work. A little bit tentative on the

:58:16.:58:20.

curve or did you go for it. It looked like you exploded off the

:58:21.:58:24.

curve? I tried to go for the curve. But I don't think I executed well.

:58:25.:58:30.

Not at the start. The key thing is came out here to prove something and

:58:31.:58:33.

I'm happy about it. It looked smooth. Your execution off the bend

:58:34.:58:37.

looked amazing. Starting to look better, you're starting to look

:58:38.:58:41.

actually pretty good. Tentative on the curve, but other than that,

:58:42.:58:51.

pretty good. Thank you very much. You love this stadium. Yes, the

:58:52.:58:54.

energy is always great here. I'm happy. Hungry as ever? Always

:58:55.:59:01.

hungry. I'm going to let do you your lap of honour. Maybe we will catch

:59:02.:59:07.

up with you a little later on. Usain Bolt, as always, giving the crowd

:59:08.:59:10.

here something to cheer about and a performance that he seems moderately

:59:11.:59:15.

happy with. I think so. The fastest time in the world this year 19. 74.

:59:16.:59:22.

He's run 19. 90. With a relatively easy race, I think that is exactly

:59:23.:59:26.

what he would have needed. I think he will feel very confident with

:59:27.:59:30.

that. We will expect much faster as he goes into Rio, because that will

:59:31.:59:33.

give him confidence that he is healthy. He thought he was. Now he

:59:34.:59:37.

has confirmation of that. Now he can work on speed and speed endurance. I

:59:38.:59:43.

think he's set up very well. We will talk about Usain and incredible

:59:44.:59:46.

performances tonight. We're going straight to the red button from BBC

:59:47.:59:49.

Two here. We've seen a British record for Laura Muir, a world

:59:50.:59:56.

record for Kendra Harrison in the 100 metres hurdles and an impressive

:59:57.:59:59.

return to the track for Jessica Ennis. More analysis on the red

:00:00.:00:05.

button now. Back here for live action 1. 15pm on BBC One. See you
