Great CityGames - Manchester Athletics

Hello and welcome from the heart of Manchester City centre where I am

reliably informed it gets lively on a Friday evening. It seems that some

of the world's best athletes have heard about that, as well. They want

a piece of the action. So the Great CityGames has been brought forward a

day. Saturday afternoons, thanks for the memories.

You get so close to the crowd. You get everybody behind you.

# Big lights shining bright # A great crowd is supporting us, it

was a great race. It was such a nice feeling to be be

lining up for a race again. # All the boys and girls got it

going It was an amazing atmosphere. I had

a great time. That is incredibly fast, unbelievable!

Some great images down through the years. Sometimes the sun shoned and

sometimes it rained. It did when Usain Bolt ran, he was stunning. He

runs tonight making his European season debut. Maybe we will have

news of that later on. In his absence the star name is home grown,

he is down in Albert Square for the men's long jump. I don't need to

tell you it's none other than the reigning world Commonwealth and

Olympic champion Greg Rutherford. Just getting ready to take part in

this men's long jump and he is speaking to Phil Jones.

It's a big welcome back to Greg Rutherford and to Manchester where

you have had success before and looking for more tonight. It's one

of my favourite competitions of the year and the first one generally in

Europe after a stint in America. Hopefully will have a good one. Been

back a few days, feeling good. Is it fair to say you have had a good

start to the year? I hate talking about it, as well. It's been that

good for me. First jump of the summer was 8. 30. An Olympic

qualifier. Two competitions later I jumped 36 and 24 again. I never

opened a season like that. Hopefully I can maintain it. How much pressure

is there this year, how much are you to enjoy being defending Olympic

champion? You have the Grand Slam, the set already. Yeah, there is

definitely pressure, obviously. A lot of people will see me as a

favourite going into it. But I put so much pressure on myself all the

time. I go out there expecting to win. And expecting to do well. We

train incredibly well in order to do that. So, that's what I will be

aiming to do, get to Rio and do it again. It's always great to see you

here in Manchester. All the best. Thank you, I appreciate that. There

will be lots from Albert Square. Here in deansgate we are getting

ready to race. I am further down the track and getting ready to introduce

you to four of the biggest stars in action on this specially constructed

track. European champion Tiffany porter takes her marks against the

best of British in the 100 metres hurdles.

Indoor specialist and former world champion Richard Kilty kicks off his

domestic season over 100 metres. APPLAUSE AND

CHEERING The main competition there is the

current world indoor champion from America, Trayvon Brommell.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

And Queen of the track will be Dutch superstar Dafne Schippers, the

world's 200 metre champion going over 100 metres this evening.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Yeah, four superstars in action. Let's look at the timetable. My

advice is to sit on the sofa for the next hour-and-a-half and take it all

in. So much to look forward to. It finishes off with two 100 metres

races. I am delighted to say alongside me a

special guest, Perri Shakes Drayton. Not easy to say! Got there in the

end. A man always here, Colin Jackson. You dashed up from Devon.

Yes, I have been in Devon. Glad to see you. Perri, first of all, the

last time you raced was back in 2013. Yes, everyone always wonders

is she fit? Will she run and compete this year? The answer is yes. We

have to look forward to the trials in Birmingham. I have been kept

occupied off the track, I have been doing training with sessions and

collaborating and going to London iconic areas and putting on some

great boot camps and putting people through their paces. Sglt how

frustrating has it been for you? You are one of our most talented

athletes, Colin will nod when I say this, to not be able to ply your

trade and challenge for medals in the way you would have wanted to for

three years? Very frustrating. Injuries are the worst thing you can

have as an athlete, I would say, to go through, especially one like

myself, I have been out for a long time. But, you know, I haven't

finished. I haven't fulfilled my potential and that's what has got me

through the dark times that I experienced with rehab. You are only

27 years young. There's a long time potentially still to go. Have you

learned what it is that you need to do to keep healthy now? Yeah, you

know what, now I know my body. If something doesn't feel right I know.

Now I am definitely more in tune of something not feeling right, don't

ignore it and get it seen to. Good to have you here. Colin, let's turn

our thoughts to this evening. Great to be here on Friday evening. A

different vibe. Absolutely, yeah. We talked about some stars, what are

you looking forward to? I am looking forward to seeingtive yny Porter --

to seeing Tiffany Porter run. For me I am looking to see her come here

and be very competitive. She's always one of my favourites. Nearly

a medal at all the major championships so looking forward to

see her start here and run well. If we go back a year, we are talking

about Dafne Schippers going to do the heptathlon and now she's a fully

fledged sprinter. She's focussing on the sprints which is great. She's

gone under already 11 seconds, run swiftly. 200 is where we think she's

favoured. It's great to see her here. The 200, I know, you are

looking forward to seeing somebody. To seeing a young prospect. It will

be great experience to see how she can perform with a crowd like this.

It's not the end of the world, it's to experience that. 9. 98 for

Bolton. That's not a bad start. The European Tour has been OK. Last year

he did not start quickly. He was still running the ten mark. Anybody

under ten seconds for Usain Bolt makes everybody nervous. Let's go to

the first, the women's 200 metres and it's good evening to Steve Cram

and Andrew Cotter. Good evening everybody. Welcome to

Deansgate in Manchester for this 200 metres. Our first event on the

track. Some of the best young talent from

Great Britain on display. A great event to get us under way. A full

length of the track. They're at the top end, we are about 40 metres down

the There are the four athletes. Jody

Leslie, 23. Last weekend she was winning the Kent championships.

Looks a little nervous. First time in a race of this sort of stature on

TV, as well. She won the 200 and 400 incidentally. Talking of the 400,

Laviai Nielsen. The 400 is her best event as it is for Emily Diamond.

Emily part of our strong relay squad that we are building for the 4x4.

She will be hoping that as the season progresses she could be part

of that squad. Laura Muller of Germany, another youngster, just 20.

Fourth at the world junior championships a couple of years ago.

Of course these athletes normally used to running the 200 metres on a

bend around a track. This is a little different.

Nielsen, in particular, will be one to watch. Had a good indoor season.

The European junior champion at 400 metres last year, won that title in

Sweden. She will start as the favourite

here. The women's 2200. -- 200.

Nielsen and Muller close toast the camera. Muller trying to forge

ahead. It's very close. Nielsen holding her form well. Very close.

About 50 meeters to go. Muller beginning to pull ahead. Diamond

coming through. Nielsen fades a little. Muller gets it. Very close

on the line for second spot. Well, the German wasn't quickest

away, and for much of that race there was nothing to choose between

her and Nielsen. It was just the last 30 or 40 metres and Nielsen

started to fade a little. The German forged ahead. I think Nielsen will

be disappointed with that. She started the season well over 400

metres and really over 200 you expect the 400 metre runner to

maintain a little bit better but it was Muller who came through. We have

seen it often on this track when it's a long straight it seems longer

for some sprinters, even with that strength and endurance from 400.

They all started to tie up a little bit, reaching for the line, in

particular, Nielsen. It was a close race. A strong breeze behind, as

well. We have seen that in a couple of races so far. We are hoping to

that to dip below the legal limit for the later races. Muller with

that strength and again holding her form slightly better. Nielsen did

look as if in the latter stages she will come through strongly but began

to fade. A good race to get us going.

Yeah, a strong breeze, as Andrew was saying. We are hoping the rain will

stay away. The winning time, there you can see.

It's a little bit of a wind tunnel down here.

Laviai Nielsen is with Phil now. What a fine performance it was. It's

good to see this new wave of British athletes coming through, especially

on the women's side of sprinting. You want to be a part of it. You

have shown what you can do tonight. It's really exciting. We have so

many good young and up and coming athletes with the likes of Dina and

other athletes. It's good to see. How much has it inspired you? It's

amazing. Two years ago, we go to the same university, it's nice to see

that. We shared the same experiences. It's amazing. An

Olympic year, what's the big aim for you? Hopefully to make the Rio team.

I was privileged last year to go to Beijing and witness that. Up and

amongst it this year. You had a big taste of the last Olympics in

London. You were the kit carrier for Jessica, no less. What was it like?

It was amazing. I was thinking imagine if that was me. Four years

on and I am aim fog are the Olympics and back -- aiming for the Olympics

and back then I was an ordinary athlete. You are not ordinary. We

wish you well. All the best. Thank you so much.

First round for Greg Rutherford, first jump. This is the other

direction over in Albert Square heading into the wind. Don't think

we will see big numbers here. Greg has started his season well. 8. 30

in California last month. Let's see how he opens here. The

first of four jumps. Sizeable crowd over in Albert

Square. He doesn't look too happy. About seven-and-a-half metres or so.

. A little bit to spare on the rounds

to come. Rutherford the first to jump in the long jump.

He waits and we wait. It is 7. 56. He will be looking for further in

those three rounds to come. A solid enough start.

Ignisious Gaisah, he's the third man to leap here. Norris Frederick of

the United States has opened with a foul. Gaisah won world silver in

2005. Three years ago, for his adopted country, the Netherlands -

kicking his way through the air. The wind reading is consistent. It's

exactly the same measurement as that for Greg Rutherford, 1. 1 against.

Right on the board. I don't think it's quite as far as Rutherford,

pretty close. Indeed Ignisious Gaisah 7. 41, second place in the

early stages of the long jump

Next up on track is the rarely run 200 mered hurdles. We're looking

down the track and it stretches for miles. You did this in 2013, what's

it like? Exciting. Different to any other race that I've done. It's the

buzz. You know, you've got the crowd. There I remember a few family

members were in the crowd. That gave me an extra boost. I was thinking,

where is the finish line? It's just long. That's the thing, 100 metres

on the straight, suddenly you have double that. Psychologically that

must be tough. Definitely. When the gun went, I was like go for it,

don't slow down. The momentum took me. Next thing I knew, OK, at the

finish line. Were you wrecked at the end? Proper. It's the men's hurdles

this time. I'm going to speak to Mr Jackson. I think you'd have been

good at the 200m hurdles. As we can see from the different hurdle

heights, it's a different event. It is very much different. These are

the senior heights for the men's 110 m hurdles. These 200 metre hurdles

are the same height as the women's 400m race. It's about a foot, 30

centimetres. The key thing is you have to explode out of the blocks

and treat this race like a sprint race, like a sprint hurdle race.

You've got to clear these barriers quickly because they're lower. That

causes a little bit of problem with athletes. Then they get close to the

next barrier. They've got to focus, switch on. Sometimes when it's a

little bit smaller you take things for granted. That could be

dangerous. Especially at the back end of the race when you're

fatigued. It's mostly high hurdlers that do this, rather than the high

hurdlers, not that it's run very often. Who does it suit? You know,

what I'd favour the sprint hurdlers. You have the ability actually to be

swift over the barriers. I think I'd favour the high hurdlers over 400

hurdlers. Can you remember a time when you jumped over that height?

Yeah, I was very young! The distance from the start line to the first

hurdle is one centimetre further than the triple jump world record.

How about that Andrew Cotter? The old hop, skip and a jump. What a

grand, old event. It would be interesting to see a contest between

400 hurdlers and 110 hurdlers. These are all 400 hurdlers. There is

Pretorius. Good to see Jack Green back and

running, former European under 23 champion. All sorts of injury

problems and beyond that, he's now self-coached, based in Kent. Showing

some good times, suited to his big talent. There's Sebastian Rodger.

He's had a good indoor season over 400m, and a PB in Vienna.

That's Jacob Paul. Times to look out for, because it's a rarely-run

event. Colin Jackson has run one of those. Andy turner 22. 10, when it

was run on the straight here. Constant Pretorius goes in one, then

Jack Green, Sebastian Rodger and Jacob Paul. Long straight, the men's

200m hurdles. Cleanly away. Pretorius has gone

already. Then there were three. Feeling his hamstring a bit there.

Rodger leads them at the moment just ahead of Jacob Paul. These two

coming away from Tamsin Greenway, being left -- Jack Green, being left

at the moment. Rodger looking strong. Sebastian Rodger, Paula

Seling OVI trying to hang with him. He's failing a bit. Good

victory for Rodger ahead of Paul. Sebastian Rodger judge today best of

all and -- Sebastian Rodger judged it best of all. Shame to see

Pretorius go in the early stages, Colin. You're right. You want to see

all the athletes finish this race. You have got to generate a lot of

speed in between. Because the hurdles are shorter, you can get

complacent and think you can just flick yourself over. It you still

have to work off every barrier. When the fatigue fits in, right at the

back end of the race, you've got to think about your technique and

holding it all together. Pretorius wasn't there from the start. He was

told to go out hard from the start. Tried, but it wasn't there at all.

Unfortunately, he'll be frustrated about that. You've got to be sharp

and swift. Try to keep control. Not to go down to the hurdles. There's a

tendency because they'reler, you lower your centre of gravity. You

don't want that. Stay nice and tall. Keep your poise like you're

sprinting. That makes the difference. Good run. Nice wind

behind them as well. Look forward to seeing what Sebastian Rodger can

manage over 400 hurdles later in the season. He has the victory here in a

personal best. There's no question that Sebastian

Rodger enjoyed that race. When you see just how far it is, 200m on a

straight, how do you gauge the race? To be honest, I think because I'm a

400 metre hurdler, this is quite short. A bit of training and it's

OK. You just went for it? Just went for it, flat out. That's what you've

got to do. I know you like wearing your GB colours. You've represented

Britain proudly in the past. You want to this year in the Olympics

year. How are you looking at the year ahead? It's going great.

Everything is going to plan for Rio. Do you feel an added excitement in

the air because of the Olympic year? Always exciting. After a race like,

that it bodes well for the rest of the year. We wish you well. Thank

you. Greg Rutherford's second attempt

here in the long jump. Always a solid, if unspectacular opening leap

from Rutherford. Leading after the first round. First to go in the

second again. Just a bit of a breeze against the long jumpers.

Hits it at some pace. The applause of the crowd. He looks more pleased

with that one. Had a bit of room on the board in his first leap. He made

a little bit better this afternoon there. Still some room for

improvement. That did look further than 7. 56. Getting out close to

eight metres. Looking strong in the early season

already. The measurement is 7. 92. A good jump. That extends his lead.

Two more to go. Greg Rutherford in very good shape over in Albert

Square. Powerful looking figure this season.

Seems to have bulked up. This is a man who could challenge him. A foul

in the first round, Norris Frederick. Has gone beyond eight

metres, but a few years ago now. 7. 79 early this season. Looking for

some Albert Square noise. EastEnders style.

At least it's a clean jump. White flag for Fredrik. Looks close to 7.

5 metres. Good crowd over there in Albert Square. The star quality of

Greg Rutherford has attracted a good few spectators. Good on the board.

At least he has something up there to build upon. 7. 41, second place

at the moment. That was for Ignisious Gaisah. Frederick moves

into second place, some way behind Greg Rutherford.

Earlier this afternoon, women's pole vault was keeping the crowd very

interested. Katie Nageotte who's been on the Diamond League circuit

already this year. An event which certainly the Americans doing so

well at. She'll have a tough task to get into the American Olympic team,

but started very well. Certainly was the favourite to win here today.

This is Anicka Newell of Canada. She went clear at 4. 23. Blustery

conditions, never easy for the pole vaulters as well, particularly in

this type of setting. Sally Peake trying to follow them. Second

attempt at the same height and she rattled it heavily. Looks up

anxiously, but she hung on. They were all clear at 4. 33.

As we've seen with the wind reading so far, quite a strong breeze coming

down the track. There's a few clouds overhead. Hopefully the rain will

hold off. The next race is the 150 metres. First back to a couple of

races that took place earlier. Great school-age races and Andrew Cotter

has the story. Away they go in the girls race. Joy

Eze look at her go. She's flying already. A long, long way clear.

Great style as well. A big, big victory, quick time as well. Legal

wind, big personal best. This may not be the last we hear of Joy Eze,

what a talent she is and what a victory here.

Very quick time. The only one to use the blocks. Great style. That time

was rounded down. The 11-year-old half a second clear

of her nearest rivals, wonderful victory.

Good start by Daniel McLennan in the boys -- Daniel Lennie. Lennie trying

to get back. It's victory for Ishaq Patterson. The wind stronger than

for the girls. 12. 64 a very quick time, beyond the legal limit though.

Can you see the power that he has. Ishaq Patterson wins the boys' 100

metres. Next event on the track is the men's

150 m race. Big talent from South Africa, Clarence Munyai and Ojie

Edoburun another British talent. An odd distance really, not raced

all that much, particularly in a straight away such as this. Jaysuma

Saidy Ndure of Norway 32 years of age now. We keep mentioning the

conditions. The wind strong behind the athletes. If it gets on the back

of Harry, he'll sail away, surely. He's fifth or sixth on the British

rankings this year. This young man, I think, is going to be somebody to

watch, could well be at the Olympics. He's run the qualifying

time for 200m, 20. 36 for trick. He -- for South Africa. He says he's

aiming for the world junior championships. One of our top

juniors, the European junior champion at year Ojie Edoburun. 150

metres, this wind, as we said earlier on about three, even four

metres per second. That will give them the opportunity

to run very, very quick. It's so unusual, we keep making this

point, to race this sort of distance in a straight away. They look down

the track. It seems such a long way away, but it isn't.

Two great juniors closest to the camera.

Well, that looked - might have been a false start. We will have to wait

for the starters to make their mind up about that. Of course, it's

difficult with the crowd very close to the track, etc.

That will be up to the starters' diskrepgs. It looked like a false

start -- diskrepgs. -- discretion. Still got to get used

to a big stage racing perhaps, I think that was nearly Munyai. No

false start rule here so they get to go again.

Looks as though that may be a generous decision by the starter.

Just to mention how well he has been going this year, he has been running

youth races and junior races and won the South African senior

championships at 200 metres and they've great talent at the moment.

He could go to the Olympics. World juniors this year is his main

target. If he gets selected for Rio we may see him there.

Clarence Munyai in lane three a little fortunate.

Cleanly away this time. Close toast the camera Edoburun gets the best

start. Munyai is struggling to stay with these three. Aikines Aryeetey

wins it. The wind, a howling gale, with his back it's like putting a

sail up, isn't it? Carried down the track, Harry Aikines Aryeetey. He

will be delighted with that. It's going to be a tough year in

sprinting in Great Britain. So much talent around at the moment. It's

going to be difficult. The qualifying time won't be good

enough. There are going to be so many men getting the qualifying

time. Wins like this, yes, it's 15. 1, it's quick and it's a windy day

today, but the win is important. It certainly is. For his confidence, a

man who has had problems with injuries. He gets bigger every

winter and comes back an enormous figure! Great power. He kept his

shape pretty well. Veering to the outside of his lane but he had the

victory. A good run. You talk about talent coming through. A lot of

people might have seen Mitchell Blake running great times in the 200

metres, a name that won't be too well known to others but he is a

great talent, as well. Good to see Aikines Aryeetey.

It's not a bad time for 150. Harry is delighted the crowd with

that victory. You are a popular lad in these parts and across the UK, in

fact. I have talked to a few athletes already about what a big

year it is, the Olympics year. For men's sprinting this year it's such

a stellar event t will be tough to make the team. You are right there,

man! I lose some sleep over it to be honest. It's one of those things you

look forward to. It's exciting, that's what we want. We want a lot

of British sprinters stepping up on the stage. The list goes on. It's

what you want. It's boding well, not only individually but for the relay.

If you guys can get it right we are in with a medal hope. We have had

some success and we are a new team. Young blood. We are hungry. What has

the reception been like generally here in Manchester tonight?

Absolutely love it. I mean, 1501 a bit far for me and they got -- 150

is a bit far for me, they got me through it. It's what we knead to

do, bring the sport to the people. -- it's what we need to do, bring

the sport to the people. This is where it starts. Thank you everyone,

bye. Yes, a great atmosphere and a great

run from Harry. As he said, it's long for him but that bodes well

that he has that strength. Yeah, that's going to give him great

confidence. Harry is 100 metre runner but he is showing strength in

that 150 and I saw him tiring but he got through it. He has big muscles

but he got through it. I am sure he is happy with that performance. Ojie

in second. Gone under 20 seconds for the 200 metre mark. For the British

boys it's a good tick they've achieved today. It's the most

important thing because it's the beginning of the season remember.

Everybody is at different stages in preparations but they'll all be

heading for our trials because they know when push comes to shove that's

where it will Matambanadzoer. Harry -- that's where it will matter.

Harry talked about the competition. Let's mention this young lad,

Nathan... From LSU. Run 19. 95. It's great for the British sprint squad.

Everybody is showing this hunger. Everybody stepped up. Everyone has

put out fast times. Some people over the States, some of the athletes

were in the States and put down some times. It's exciting and we need

that excitement and buzz for British sprinters. And Adam Gemile, as well.

The list can go on. It's a great list to have. We are most probably,

outside the United States and Jamaica, the strongest sprinting

team in the world. I think when you are fighting for places surely there

has to be favourites for us when it comes to the Olympics. We are

watching, it's great to be watching these youngsters battle for places.

We have seen great racing so far and plenty more to come over the next 50

minutes or so. Tiffany Porter goes in the hurdles against the best of

the rest in Britain. Sglp

Dafne Schippers will be in action and Trayvon Bromell, let's see how

he can go over 100 metres. Newel, her third and final attempt.

Not to be. Sally Peake, her final attempt. A silver medallist at the

Commonwealth Games. Sally Peake can't challenge either.

She takes the applause of the crowd. Here is Katie Nageotte.

No failures at all so far. A clean event.

To win it at 4. 4.50 of the first attempt.

Didn't graze the bar. So victory in the pole vault for Katie Nageotte of

the United States. She went on to try a championship

record of 4. 70 but failed there and took the victory with 4. 50.

Tiffany Porter delivers medals time and again for Great Britain. You did

it again this year in Portland. Congratulations on the medal there.

Obviously, an Olympic year we are expecting more big things of you.

What's it like when you have that constant expectation and you manage

to live up to it? I think experience is a best teacher and I feel pleased

to have these opportunities. Hopefully I can continue to progress

this season and put on a good show when it matters the most. When you

come to a huge year like this and you put together that form that we

saw in Portland what kind of confidence does it give you going

forward? Getting medals and performing at championships is a

huge confidence boaster, that's the ultimate, that's what we work hard

for. -- booster. I am hoping to replicate that in the future. As for

tonight you pretty much own this event and what's it like with the

crowd close to you? I love the street races, the energy you guys

bring, we can feel it and it helps us to do our best. Thank you so much

for coming out guys. Thank you. You are going to race

very soon. We look forward to seeing you. Thanks so much, Phil.

That's how we line up for the men's 100 metres, the T44 men's class.

This is the event where we have seen showdowns with Richard Brown and

Johnny Peacock in the past. Richard Brown is still coming back after a

car injury and Johnny has an injury. There is Peterson of the USA.

There is Jarryd Wallace. Helps runs with a cap, says it keeps the sweat

out of his eyes. Felix Streng. And Michail Seitis of Greece.

A 400 metre runner, was involved in a car accident three years ago

resulting in an amputation and here he is competing in the men's 244100

metres. -- men's T44100 metres. Wallace in lane two is the man to

beat here. Streng might be able to get close to

him, the German in lane three. Cleanly away. Wallace quickly

running but so too Streng. Wallace will take the victory. The wind had

dropped a little bit, just over the legal limit. Wallace takes the

victory. Inside 11 seconds. He will certainly be a threat, a contender

for the gold medal in Rio later this year. If Johnny gets back to full

strength, look out. A good challenge from Felix Streng. He was better

away out of the blocks. The hunger for Wallace just about gets him

there. On paper he was the quickest. It was a good run from Streng. The

last race was into a headwind. It would have been nice to have the

breeze on his back. Quick times. Wallace dipping under 11 seconds. It

show what is a good performance that was. Probably will want to tidy up

the start, apart from that it was good. We look forward to see Johnny

Peacock back competing. Jarryd, you are keeping it going.

You couldn't have timed it better better

We love running here. What do you take out of a race like tonight when

you are up against someone like Streng? It's awesome. Dropped

underneath 11. Unbelievable competitor. Strong athlete. It's

going to be a great year, shaping up to be a good one. We wsh you well

for Rio. Well done. Thank you. Victory for Jarryd Wallace.

The 100 is where his future lies, I think. He will be a strong contender

in Rio. A good victory here for Wallace.

A great race there. Colin, perhaps Wallace would be

surprised at how close the German was to him. I would have thought so.

He has already run strong and powerfully this year. It's important

to nail a good start and get in the lead, that puts pressure on people

from the get-go. When you think of what Johnny Peacock can do, he

hammers out of the block. With we are hoping at Rio and the

Paralympics that Johnny can do something special again. Johnny

selected for the European Championships coming up. You know

Johnny a little bit. Such a fierce competitor. Also you remember back

to London in 2012, such maturity, as well. Yeah, you know, a lot of times

I spent in Loughborough, he is a cool guy, if he is watching, I am

sure he will watch when I am running against, as an athlete when we are

watching and unable to race and we do see competitors out there it

gives us an extra boost and we are like, when we come against each

other we will watch and see! It will be a great race in Rio. Should be

special. We will focus now on the men's 100 metres. This man is one of

What are your first impressions? Big year, Olympic year. It started off

fantastically for new Portland, tell me about that, the world indoors.

Going into the season, like me and my coach, we already had it in mind

that I could take the win. Once the bell went off, I knew I'd won. It

was a real good experience. A fantastic way for you to build on

what you'd achieved in Beijing last year, getting the bronze medal

there. I just wanted to make the team and show people I'm ready to

run with the big guys. I was blessed to come out with maidal. What's it

-- with a medal. What's it like competing with the likes of Usain

Bolt and Gatlin at just 20? It's like a kid wanting to be a superhero

with Superman. I try to stay motivated because years

down-the-line, get older, maybe I can be faster than what I am now.

The sky's the limit. You just go out there and compete against these guys

and gain their reinspect on the track, it's a cool experience. Is

this different being an Olympic year? You don't want to put too much

emphasis on a certain event. It is a bit meet. But you don't want to go

into the race thinking like, if I don't do good, this is going to kill

me, because you never know what could happen the next day. It's

another opportunity to try to be great. What do you think how crucial

the spectators will be here, so close to you? It's cool. I used to

think, it would be cool to lay a track down in the street and run a

race. It will be thrilling. I want to perform for the crowd. I have a

lot of love here in the UK. Friday evening working very well here on

Deans gait, a great crowd, great atmosphere. The breeze is blowing

through a little bit. That 100 metres is going to be about half an

hour. Trayvon Bromell one of the real stars of track and field

athletics. Manchester very much in focus this weekend as far as sport

is concerned. We're here tonight. We have the FA Cup tomorrow with

Manchester United against Crystal Palace. Then this is coming up on

Sunday: Mentally I find that running helps

me maintain a positive outlook on life, helping with the psychological

side of this disease, because it can be quite debilitating. I always feel

that anything is possible when I go out for a run. When I do my races,

it's the little achievements that count for me.

I just went to the gym one day and realised you know, I'm enjoying.

This I started to see progress. I saw the weight dropping off. My Jane

size was going lower, my T-shirt size was dropping off. All of a

sudden, I'm eight-and-a-half stone lighter. Running's helped me

mentally through tough times, when the world's been on my shoulders.

Over the last few years, I've gone through depression and stress and

anxiety. If I didn't have running, I don't think I'd be here today. The

best advice I can give really is if you're out there running, however

slow it is, however fast it is, you're running faster than a person

sat on the couch. Get your shoes on, get out there and run.

Yes, so many great stories, the Great Manchester Run: we'll bring as

many of them to you as we possibly can and the elite races. Monday on

BBC Two: we have extensive highlights. OK, the next race on the

track is the women's 100 metres hurdles. It features Tiffany Porter

and Steve Cram is bringing you the words.

Thank you Jonathan. The pictures show that Tiffany Porter in lane two

there, Lucy Hatton, Serita Solomon and Isabelle Pedersen. A competitive

race for Tiffany Porter. It's one which she would expect to win. Good

to see Lucy Hatton contesting 100 hurdles against Porter. Of course,

for Lucy, she now only has not only Tiff to contend with, but her sister

as well. She's the top ranked British hurdler so far this year.

The qualifying time for the Olympics is 13 seconds flat. Every

opportunity will be taken. Lucy may hope the wind dies a little here.

Tiffany Porter has run 12. 72 at the top Jones invitational in America.

That's not unusual! Serita Solomon yet to have her outdoor season

begin. This will be interesting to see what sort of shape she is in

after a very good indoor season. Isabelle Pedersen of Norway has been

doing very well in 400m hurdles. Former world youth champion at the

shorter distances. Ran under 13 seconds last year.

You saw earlier on in the interview with Phil Tiff talk about the world

Indoor Championships. She wasn't running that well indoors. She did

well in the final. In the end only just away from winning the Gold

Medal. Lucy Hatton on the far side, Porter

for the in two -- Tiffany Porter in two, Serita Solomon in three and

Isabelle Pedersen closest to the camera. Tiffany Porter with an

advantage. Pedersen going well. Lucy Hatton on the far side. Solomon left

somewhat. Tiffany Porter stamping her authority on this, checking into

the hurdles. But 12. 89, the wind slightly over the legal limit.

That's a shame. That was a pretty good performance. It's getting a

little chilly here in Manchester. That won't help. Tiffany Porter once

again coming out on top. Just took a little while to get going. Colin's

better at analysing than me, but wonder if it was as smooth as she

would have liked. Looks as though the hurdles were coming on her a bit

quick. One thing we look for from Tiffany is perfection. We know she's

capable of that. She's aggressive over the barriers. Off one of them

she kind of fell off it a bit. That disturbed her rhythm a little. You

see that hurdle there, she just collapsed just a margin. That makes

a huge difference to the ultimate performance. Going into these

hurdles, she clipped that one, but still very aggressive. Off this

barrier she just collapses a little bit, arm flal a bit. That's to get

her balance again -- flail. You don't have that much time, when you

make a mistake, but Tiffany is a quality athlete. She was a bit

disappointed with that. But there's plenty more to come.

That's what she's very good at, timing her season well. A long way

to go. It's still only May. Steve Cram saying there you always

manage to time your season so well, you build, knock bits off your time

bit by bit and get it right when it really matters, is that how you

approach a season? Absolutely. The championships are the main focus,

obviously, you want to continue to work hard throughout the season.

We're still in heavy training. I'm just very pleased to come away with

the win today. What about the time, just over the legal limit as well in

terms of wind behind you. Were you pleased with the performance? Yeah,

it's always a pleasure to run in Manchester in front of everybody. I

never take that for granted. I'm very grateful to be here. You've

kept your winning run going here. What inspires you about the street

racing? To be honest, it's the energy you feel from the crowd. You

can really feel the support and it really does help.

CHEERING I'm sure they delight in seeing you here year on year. Come

back next year I'll be back, thanks Guy! -- thanks guys! Over to Albert

Square and Greg Rutherford reddying himself once more. Improved on his

second round, he's led from the first round.

Can he threaten eight metres? The wind is switching round a little

bit. Hits the board well again. Another tidy jump. It looks a bit

further. Difficult to tell on the angle there. The crowd seem enthused

by that one. He's in such good form. It augers well for Rio. Pretty much

the same as round two. Little bit more to gain on the board.

Round three for JJ Jegede. Foul in the second round.

That's better, a white flag. All sorts of injury problems last year.

He will get a good distance here, well beyond his first-round jump of

seven metres. Just to confirm Greg Rutherford's

last jump was 8. 03. He has gone beyond eight metres. JJ Jegede, what

does he have? A season's best time of 7. 7. 43.

The 100 metres is coming up later on. Two of Britain's finest

alongside me in Richard Kilty and Chijindu Ujah going against Trayvon

Bromell and Kim Collins later. What about that prospect? It will be a

great race. Looking forward to it. It's my first main race of the

season. It will be a competitive race. How have you been training,

how's the winter gone? Good, I ran quick indoors 6. 50. Didn't go to

the world indoors and started with a win in Florida over 200 metres.

Looking forward to today. As for you, you always want to test

yourself against the best and Trayvon Bromell is proving to be

just that. Yeah, his record speaks for itself. It's always nice to put

a show for Manchester. A big year last year, I know you want to go one

step further in Rio year. You have stiff competition. Yeah, every year

everyone wants to bring their A game, especially Rio. I'm definitely

planning to bring mine. It's going to be a great race. We're looking

forward to it. Thanks for talking to us, guys.

Aturn there, focussing on that race, that fight for spots in Rio is in

intense. Very intense. As an athlete let the running dot talking. Don't

hype yourself up too much. The strength in the field today, we

can't really expect amazing results today, because of the weather

conditions, it's quite windy out here. But obviously it will be nice

for a win. That's what they're looking for. They need to build

confidence as well. That's important. You look towards the

trials. They need to start winning, start to perhaps put a mark down

against their opposition, the ones who are going to be fighting for

those places. Yeah, a win is a win. It gives you that confidence. Then

it gives you that judgment of where you are in your training, what you

may need to improve on, maybe you peak too soon. That men's 100 metres

at 7. 20pm. The hurdles are in the way, ten more metres. Steve Cram.

Let's look at the start list: Just a bit of news from the European

Games, Lawrence Clark 13. 57, the fastest British athlete so far in

this event. The qualifying time for the Olympic Games is 13. 13.47. It

will be very interesting to see whether we get three men under that

time. I'm sure we will. I hope we will.

Rene Mahlmann of Germany. David King twice the English under

23 champion. Coached by James Hillier. Didn't run so well at the

UK championships, but a personal best indoors. Always stands you in

good stead for the outdoors season. Ryan Wilson. Reward in Moscow for a

long, good career. 35 years of age now. Coaching now himself as well.

Andreas Martinsen of Denmark in lane four.

Wilson in day's gone by would start as the favourite and probably does

here as well. He's running 13. 54 his best in America. His first race

in Europe this year. In America, many sprinters and hurdlers get to

set good times early in the season. They hope when they come to Europe,

the weather is the same. It isn't always the case. We've talked about

the wind tonight. Let's see if it settles around two metres, it was

just over in the women's race. Wilson left a little bit. Kipping

got the better start. Half a metre lead at the moment thchlt could be a

big win if he can hold this. Wilson getting into his stride. Wilson gets

the win. Well, Martinsen second. King, could he have lasted that

through? He came under some pressure and when he came under pressure he

hit the penultimate hurdle hard and that put paid to his chances.

Wilson, after a not particularly good start and for a long part of

the race not really looking as if he was going to get there, in the end

good enough to come through for the win.

As ever, Colin, it's never over until it's over in the hurdles. Ah!

Poor David King. I think he was on for something really special there,

Steve. He worked hard. He got out of the blocks well. He was aggressive.

Just about now he clatters that hurdle and that drags him back. He

lost metres, absolutely metres. I can see he had been frustrated with

that. Sometimes when you are in a race and running faster than ever

before, hurdles come to you a little bit quicker, you are anxious because

you know you are in the lead and it could be a big victory and you just

slightly lose it. For this young man that's exactly what happened. Watch

this now. Boom! Pulse him back. Loses it. He lost his stride going

into the barrier. He lost his height and when these are three foot six

you don't want to do that. He will be frustrated. He will be angry but

he will be back. I think you are right. He was

probably heading for a personal best. The time is there. He got 13.

79 hitting the last four hurdles. The penultimate one put paid to his

Tremendous race with you both there. David, you thought you must have had

it until the penultimate hurdle. Yeah, I was gutted to hit that

hurdle. They were coming at me so fast. The track is unbelievably

fast. The hurdles fly at you. Then when it flew at you so fast, hit it,

almost fell. Watching it back now, it's horrible to watch! I am really

pleased with the run. It's a good sign of things to come. It bodes

well, don't be too hard on yourself. Exactly. Amazing experience. I am

really happy to be here. Ryan, you are still doing it, still winning

races, but you also coach one of the best female hurdlers in the world.

You are an all-round fantastic hurdler. I am trying to be. I am

trying to make some, as well. He was having a great race, right. Pushing

me the whole way. So, you know, it was really fun to come out here. I

love having the eyes and the crowd right here on you. But, yeah, it's

all about progression and this was an important meet for me to progress

to my goals this year. So, it's really exciting to get back here.

Does that include competing and coaching in Rio? Absolutely. That's

the plan, you know, we made the 2013 team together. And I can't describe

how the feeling how happy, you know, obviously it was my first team, US

team, but then also the feeling of coaching someone to her first team

is really special. It's really indescribable. I was happier for her

than I was for me, which is a strange thing to say in sports

because it's such a selfish activity. It's a tremendous

accomplishment. Well done on the win. Good luck going forward to both

of you. David, better luck next time. Thank you very much.

Final jump for Greg Rutherford. Has barely put a foot wrong. Asking for

more from the crowd. He has been so tidy. Three valid jumps and getting

better with every round. The wind perhaps has dropped a

little bit. Let's see how far he can go in round four. He is dominating

the event at the moment. A long way clear of his challengers.

That's good. He knows that. He has jumped 8. 30 so far this

season but in warmer climes of California last month and here in a

cool and blustery Manchester City centre. Again, very good on the

board. Really is so tidy. It's 8. 20. A

Games record. Two centimetres longer than the mark set by Chris

Tomlinson. That was back in 2012. That was very

impressive from Rutherford. This is Melvin Echard of the United

States. Fouls in the first two rounds.

The last but one jumper to go, only Ronald Hertog to go after Echard.

Can he deny Rutherford the victory? I don't think it's as far as

Rutherford. It might extend his 7.37.

May well go into second place. Very good on the board, as well.

It's 7. 53. He will go into second place, a long way behind Rutherford.

Confirmation of that men's long jump.

Rutherford with a Games record. Very impressive early season form

from Greg Rutherford. It augurs well for the rest of the summer.

Unfortunately, it's spitting now. The women's 100 metres. A year ago

Dafne Schippers was still training for the women's shot put. Now she's

one of the fastest women in the world and the reigning women's 200

champion. Dafne Schippers, the heptathlete turned sprinter.

Schippers will get the gold medal! A new championship record! Patience

paid off for Dafne Schippers. Who could have expected this, a gold

medal in the 200 metres? It was a special, special run. These

two are under the umbrella. Thanks guys! You are more than welcome. You

will have watched that at home, Perri. What do you make of the way

Schippers has transitioned to an incredible sprinter? Only one word,

rapid! Seeing it in person, like now, I am going to be... I have

always seen it on the TV, never live. A lot of people will take that

for granted, the speed of us athletes. When we see it live it's a

different ball game. Colin, one of the things I am impressed about is

the way psychologically she has got into being a sprinter. It's a

different type of competitive environment with the sprints and the

heptathlon. There is not much sharing about the knowledge in that

sense, you have to go out there and focus as a true individual. You are

right at the beginning, she's one of the best right now, of all time.

Remember, she's gone under 21. 7 mark in the 200 metres. That's how

quick she is. It's 100 metres for her tonight. Andrew Cotter is your

commentator. It may well be Dafne Schippers

against the clock. There is Cleo Vanburen. Ran 11. 10.

A good few years ago now, back in 2006. 11. 53 this season. Dafne

Schippers continues to improve in terms of starts to the year. 10. 83

already in Doha. Bartolleta won her second long jump

cycle in the same night in Beijing. A long jumper, though, but with

great sprinting speed. Has run 11. 23 and Laura Muller who won the 200,

more of a 400 metre runner so will do well to get the legs moving

briskly in this one with high quality sprinters.

Very few of higher quality than Dafne Schippers in world terms.

Just a few spots of rain, hoping the wind might drop and see what time

Dafne Schippers can manage. The women's 100 metres.

Schippers comes away and uses all that power. Schippers and

Bartolleta. Schippers against the clock. 10. 94. A Games record. The

wind just above the legal limit. As we expected, a really dominant

performance from Dafne Schippers. She will be running in the

Netherlands on Sunday. Will look to see what she does there. Schippers

continues to impress and impressing here in Deansgate this evening. Away

not too badly. Once she gets going no one was going to touch her here.

Bartolleta can start well but nothing she can do about the power

of Schippers. A big year ahead, obviously for everybody, but what a

prospect for her with Rio approaching. Doha, 10. 83 and it was

much warmer there, of course, the beginning of the Diamond League

season. I just get the feeling that Schippers is going to be even better

this year than last year. Really good run. A little bit windy so the

time won't stand as a record but a great performance from her.

What a world star Dafne Schippers is she is days. We saw you perform in

Beijing last year and the gold medal changed life for you it's fair to

say in the Netherlands. Yeah, totally different world. It's very

nice and I am happy to be here and very nice atmosphere. Thank you for

that. It's always great to see the world's biggest stars coming here to

Manchester and taking part in the Games. You are that now. Can you

believe what's happened to you the last year or two in sprinting? Yeah,

I see it and people see me, it's special for me and it's a total

different world as I say. Yeah, makes new steps and I hope that I

can run fast this year. Certainly if you do and you do it in Rio your

fame's going to go to a new level. Are you ready for that? I think so.

It looks like you are on tonight's performance. Congratulations on that

and good luck going forward. Let's hear it for Dafne Schippers. Thank

you. APPLAUSE AND

CHEERING Well done, Dafne Schippers. Perhaps

the most expected result of the evening even with the wind above the

legal limit. From one world champion to another.

Greg Rutherford skipped over from Albert Square. It was a tough start

out there. But you got it right in the end. Yeah, absolutely. It's

always a difficult one when you have had a few days in the UK. I got back

on Monday. Trying to get back to this time difference and everything

else. And this weather. Yeah, I left in 40 degrees and came back to about

15. It was a bit of a shock. But it was a great finish to the

competition. I am delighted to say these two haven't shared the

umbrella with you either! What's happening? Talk about your prep. I

have been watching you posting some weights you have been lifting, and

the long jumps. You look in shape. Yeah, you know what, I thought this

year I will spend as much time in the heat with my coach and a great

training group. And some of the best long jumpers around in the world and

I want to be around those guys. I never shy away from competition in

practice, as well. I have been working hard the last few months. I

am going to go back there in a couple of weeks to get a last prep

done and we will have hopefully a good run into the Olympics. You have

the Grand Slam and obviously you start again. To retain an Olympic

title you must have thought about it, it's something that's

incredible. Absolutely. I mean, it's always at the back of your mind.

There is obviously competitions br that but you want to be setting

yourself up for a good Olympics again, not many people managed to

retain it and I am hoping I can do that. I have been working incredibly

hard, based in the rice place with the right people in order to do it.

-- right place. I have as good a chance as any and this could be the

best year to do it. The thing is and all the other long jumpers will be

afraid of this, is that when it really matters you seem to be able

to produce the result. That's a precious gift as an athlete.

Kilty, Even when I was younger I loved the big stages. Sadly

something got in the way, injury, illness. But since 20 I've had the

-- 2012 I love the big occasions. That's why I thrive. I train to

hopefully perform well on a major stage. It will be no different. I

will walk into the Olympic Stadium this year full of joy, pride and

determination to do it again. You two there, do come and join us.

We'll sneak in. This guy really has, what can you say the last four

years? I was smiling the whole way through your interview there. For

the real reason is I know and I've always had faith in you. You're a

phenomenal athlete, even as a young man. I could see the potential

there. Now you have that sense of consistency about your performances

it's putting a smile on your face. The most important thing is you

mentioned there having consistency in training, without any

interruptions. That is going to elevate you hugely. With the Olympic

Games as a target, what else is there, are we going to see another

British record this year? I'd like to think so. I've opened the season

better than ever before. Funny enough, I looked at what you guys

used to, do you spent lots of periods of time overseas with the

right people. My coach is in America. I have to see him. He's in

Arizona, which is a lovely place to be as well. We are training in the

right place with the right people. I've never opened a season like

this. Even the Olympic year, it started well, but nothing like. This

touch wood, obviously it maintains and conditions. I feel good.

Consistency is key for winning medals. You must take encouragement

from this all the injury problems you've had. You won a Silver Medal

in 2006 and it took you to '12 to make the breakthrough. I'm list tong

Greg and yeah, I'm taking in this information. As an athlete you have

to do what's best for you. I had to do what's best for me in order to

get back to wri want to be in terms of returning from injury. The necht

step is to fulfil my potential. I would look a bit of the silverware

and the gold. LAUGHTER

Thanks for the moment. We are going to focus on the men's 100 now. It

features the last two world indoor champions.

The atmosphere builds. The men's 60 metres final.

Kilty gets a flying start. So does Bromell. Kilty might just get there.

Bromell wins it! Gold for Great Britain. Gold Medal for Kilty. Now

that's a shock. Now he's the world champion. Trayvon Bromell comes out

on top. They are the future of world sprinting.

Right in the middle there the, I wouldn't say imposing figure of

Trayvon Bromell, rather diminutive figure, but I notice he's wearing

his tracksuit bottoms, maybe thinking he can win this without

having to strip his bottoms off. Chijindu Ujah against him, Kim

Collins, Richard Kilty. So the man who couldn't go and defend his title

in Portland in March had to watch at home at Bromell beat Powell, who was

perhaps the favourite going into that. Bromell ran a personal best in

that final. Really good indeed. As Greg Rutherford was saying, another

man training in America, Chijindu Ujah out there with his training

group. He's run 10. 17 this year. Like Harry Aikines-Aryeetey that

won't be good enough at this point. Bromell, third at the World

Championships outdoors as well last year. Tied with the other great

talent from Canada de Grasse. They are the future of world sprinting,

amongst others. It's wrong to say he's the past. He's the future of

40-year-old sprinting. He's just broken the world record for a

40-year-old. Kim Collins former world champion, 10. 09 at age 40!

Puts us all to shame. Richard Kilty, still only 26. He, like all our

sprinters, knows that not only their individual berth is want they want

to aim for but the relay chances. If they get the relay right that's a

medal opportunity at the Olympic Games.

Bromell feeling a little chilly here in Manchester. Can he warm up this

track? Bromell gets a blistering start. Kilty gets away, so does Kim

Collins. He's leading this. The 40-year-old is head of the two

youngsters. Kim Collins is going to get there! 10. 07. The wind plus 3.

2, so it's not another world record. It would have been, 10. 09 his best

up to this point in the season. What a shock there. Bromell left his

tracksuit bottoms on. He should have taken them off. He was not quick

enough. He was well out of the blocks. Collins as ever always with

a good start. Kilty, the three of them even after the first 20. But it

was the veteran and I can use that word properly, he is a master, Kim

Collins comes away with the win. You can almost see 20-year-old Trayvon

Bromell seeing the 40-year-old Kim Collins run. Still such zip as well.

I thought Bromell was going to come past him in the latter stages. Kim

Collins holding on and looking strong. Kilty unable to get there.

Trayvon Bromell, I expected him as the big star, the man who is such a

huge talent, I thought he was going to come through. He wasn't making

any ground on Kim Collins, his unique style, we've seen it for so

many years now. It takes him to another victory here. Bromell a bit

of a grin and a grimmace. Another victory in the remarkable career of

Kim Collins by a distance. You can see on the photograph there, very

close for second, but I think it's given to Bromell. A good way behind

our winner Collins comfort A tremendous race Kim, you defy age

yet again. Over 40, twice this guy's age here to your left, yet you took

the victory? Yes, when you step on the line, age has nothing to do with

it. Step on the line as men, that's what it's about. Age has nothing.

I'm very happy to be able to do it at this age. Manchester is one of my

favourite places after what - 14 years? It's great. Commonwealth

champion 14 years ago, that's hard to believe. That's where you shot to

fame. You've had many successes since. What can you possibly achieve

then at this age in an Olympic year? I just want to go under ten seconds.

I don't know about the year, my personal goal is to go under ten at

40 and if I do that, I will retire. I want to come back indoors and set

the world record at 40. After the indoor season next year we might see

the end of you. Yes. I hope not. A lot more from you, of course, you

burst onto the scene in spectacular style. This guy had you today? Yeah,

it was a great race. I jumped out and I stumbled. I started seeing him

moving. I tried to bring up my speed. Too late to kick. I was like,

he got it. What's next for you as you build up to what's one of the

biggest events outside the Olympics this year, obviously the trials in

the US just to make your team is tough. Oh, yeah, it's going to be a

lot of tough competition. I've got a strong mind set. Coming out here and

losing a race don't mean I'm going to lose. It I've got a lot more to

learn and be able to prove myself. I just got to keep moving forward.

I've got faith in God. Best be to God. Thanks for being here today.

Great to see you. All the best going forward. Thank you for having me

here. Let's tidy up the result.

On a Friday evening in Manchester, it turned out to be a 40-year-old

who had all the moves. When a performance from Kim Collins. Here

are the highlights from Deansgate. It was Greg Rutherford in the men's

long jump,le. Jump,le. -- long jump, a Games record here in Manchester.

In the women's 100m hurdles, British number one and European champion,

Tiffany Porter showed a clean pair of heels to the rest of the field.

She's building up nicely towards Rio.

In the women's 100m, Dafne Schippers the new darling of the track, the

darling of the sprints, she ran sub-11. As we have said it's a

chilly evening here in Manchester. So guys, Kim Collins! We talked

about the young guy, talked about the world indoor champions and Kim

Collins defies science, everything. Yeah, he didn't get no mention, did

he? No. No mention at all. Like I said, let the running do the

talking. Today he shows you know, don't put an age on. It he's looking

great, young as ever. You know Pharrell Williams, he never ages.

They say he's like a vampire. That's what he looks like. The other three

must have been running along thinking, "This shouldn't be

happening." Yeah you do have that bit of feeling. How is this man

possibly run soing quickly? -- running so quickly? You hit it on

the head. You have to have the right ambition. He sets himself the

targets. Kim has said already, I wants to go under ten seconds. He

knows how much work he needs to do to go under ten seconds. He's been

there before. Now he wants to do it as a 40-year-old. Exactly the same

as indoors, he wants to set the world indoor record for a

40-year-old. If you keep it in your mind that you want to get to the

top, you need to do what you need to do and you will do it. Confidence

for the British guys going to the trials and trying to get in the team

for Rio, that's not great for CJ particularly, he said the gun was

quick. But for Richard as well. It's the sort of performance they don't

want at this time. You're talking of what - sorry... I missed that bit.

It's difficult with the sound isn't it. For CJ and for Richard, it's a

dent to their confidence to get beaten like that? I know, you don't

want to be beaten. But I'm sure they were looking at each other more.

Obviously they would have liked to have finished higher. Again, they'll

go back and look and see what they need to work on. It's another race

under their belt. They're going to look forward to the next one. Nerms

of the women's -- in terms of the women's 100m, Dafne Schippers sub-11

seconds, not a quick evening. Yeah, with a strong wind behind it

registered there, lots of the athletes are frustrated with the

wind speeds. But again it's about getting the runs under your belt.

That is going to be really what's going to be paramount for her. Under

11 seconds again. If I'm honest, not a very good start. With that in

mind, we will see lot from Dafne Schippers come the Olympics. You

wouldn't bet against her. No. Doing the double, it's not impossible. No,

a lot of athletes are able to do, put on a fast 100 and 200 metres,

they can double up. I'm sure she's got her eyes on both medals. Let's

remind you of some of the things on BBC Sport:

The FA Cup Final is on at 5. 30 on BBC One. What a day it's been,

Friday evening in Manchester. The rain is coming down, but that hasn't

dampened spirits. We're back on the streets of Manchester on Sunday for

the Great Manchester Run. See you then, bye-bye.

I think we're in for a real cracker.

This could be the game of the season.

There's going to be fireworks. A repeat of the 1995...
