Anniversary Games: Part 2 Athletics

In just a week's time, the IAAF world Championships takes place here

in the London Stadium. Many stars are here and ready to thing June

preparations. Wimbledon takes a rest and the baton has been passed to

track and field. Here are some of the stellar names that will

entertain. What a line-up we have today. This

year's anniversary games is about looking forward. This day is

significant for the British athletes who have not yet booked their place

on the World Championship team. They are running out of time to impress

the selectors. Not only is it important to perform, they have to

reach the qualifying standards as well. Welcome. If you have came over

from BBC Two, thank you frosting with us. A fantastic afternoon

ahead. It has been an hour. I will introduce you to the guests who will

be talking you through. We are joined by Brendan Foster in the

studio and Denise and Paula are still here. Today is D-Day for many

athletes. There is something to prove themselves but the selectors

looking on at this stage, it could not be more appropriate that this is

the stadium they will perform in in London. Some big names will feel

that today is the day to put their names on that list. Anybody for whom

the door is open, to come to this amazingly fast track with a great

crowd and able to visualise what they are aiming for in a couple of

weeks, there's not a better place to do it. This is the best chance to

achieve those times. The men's 800 metres was a mess last week in terms

of selection. Athlete had times but did not get positions. Pick out some

runners. The men's 800 metres as the most contentious. Andrew Osagie is

the only person with a time other than Jake Wightman who is in the

race today. He does not want to do it. Andrew finished that. If they

run at the time today, they do get that automatic discretionary

selection. Kyle Langford finished third and has a chance of running

the time. Andrew Assad Jay Haas to prove himself. Lots of tidying up to

do. We have seen Dina Asher-Smith who has been carrying and have -- an

injury and is recovering. More work for her. Zharnel Hughes looked like

he would be the man to beat when it comes to the final but did not

finish in the top two. He does has the time. When you expect him to be

secure, today is another chance to tell the selectors, I am your man.

Do not leave any doubt in the mind of the selectors. Racing at this

track shows you are in form. He is. He got tighter in the closing stages

at the trials. He has to step up to date and proved he has earned a

spot. It is the perfect opportunity. It could not be better. Have went

through the trials and put themselves in positions and now it

is the time that they have to run. The atmosphere is fantastic and be

stadium looks brilliant. We have already seen some fantastic action.

It is wonderful to be here today. The pressure and the enjoyment. Some

athletes are here to show off and others to qualify. Read about some

great moments so far. One of those that we would not expect, a world

record, before we had lunch. That was down to Tom Bosworth. It is the

one-mile walk. He came here today and smashed the British record and

the world-record. And smashed his own goals as well. Coming into it

quietly talking to the past couple of days, he was looking something in

the 5.4 zero. He was able to get by .3 one. There are some great

athletes in the stadium. Serve -- Sebastian Coe and Denise Lewis. I

wonder how many of them can run a five and a half minute mile.

Sebastian Coe than six minutes 40 mile and were satisfied with that

recently. It is about 2.2 five. Our mathematics are not exact. It is a

quick marathon time. It is about showcasing how quick that looks on

the track. To see the technique in action. Lap after lap. It was

stunning. Never mind a quick marathon, it was equipped mile. I

would be very happy if I could run one mile as quickly as that. And

then we had the emotional moment when David Weir performed on the

track for the last time. It was more a procession than a raise. He was

given the opportunity to say goodbye to the track. The crowd understood

what he has given to Paralympic sport. Six time Olympic

gold-medallist and seven time London Marathon winner. The campaign has

started to getting knighted. Do not be rude on television. He has done

an amazing job. You can see the emotion today. Thank you to UK

athletics forgiving him the chance to perform in this stadium, in

manner, brilliant. I am still trying to work out who could run a five and

a half minute mile. We had so much more to look forward to this

afternoon. Here is a look for you to mark your card. International

performances, British performances. One of my favourites, Kendra

Harrison is going next. The women's 800 metres is the best of British.

The high jump competition is world-class. And we mentioned

Zharnel Hughes trying to secure his spot from London. We have the men's

hurdles. A great women's long jump competition. Dafne Schippers looked

fantastic in the heats for the 100 metres. She is up against the

world's best, Elaine Thompson. And the men's 800 beaters, Jake Wightman

is in great form this season. It all looks like a Laura Muir might be

going for that British mile record will stop and Mo Farah will come on

after that. Let us get down to the track. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is

going in the first of the hurdles heats. COMMENTATOR: She knows she is

outclassed in terms of the hurdles today but she wants to put herself

in this position. Next month, she will be lining up in the stadium in

her first event in the heptathlon with all of the pressure and she

will need to get it right, this very technical event. This is a great

rehearsal for her today. She is up against some of the best in the

world. The first of two eats. We will see a woman in the past two has

got it right in Kendra Harrison. She has also got it wrong in the past.

Johnson-Thompson is now 29. A new personal best in the hurdles this

year. That is the Belgian reckoned holder, just inside 13 seconds this

season. Anne Zagre. This is such a strong event for the United States,

Bridget Owens is not of the highest calibre. Kendra Harrison is at the

very top. Broke the world record here last year. Did not realise she

had done it initially because the timing was not quite right. Kristi

Castlin is outside of, Olympics bronze-medallist but only finished

in sixth place and the American trials. Jasmin Stowers ran 12.47 but

only was in eighth place at the trials. And Nadine Visser, and the

Austrian Stephanie Bendrat. Three to go through automatically in this

first of two hit in the women's 100-metre hurdles. Kendra Harrison

has not lost a race at any distance since finishing sixth in the US

trials about this time last year. 19 successive victories over hurdles

and 200 metres. She missed out on the Olympics which

was the one, two, three for the United States.

It is Kendra Harrison that takes it. The time is 12.40 eight. It is

quick. It is such a quick time and made to look very easy. There are

some very good athletes that she will have to face. Kendra Harrison

on her day is a class apart. You are right, Andrew. She showed that to

us, loud and clear. If anybody was doubting who is the favourite for

the world title on this very track... You do not have to look any

further than this young lady. I shaped -- I think she is technically

better this year. More aggressive over the barriers and more

controlled with her running. It will not surprise me if she beats that

world-record. Look at Kendra Harrison Move over the barriers. Her

world-record is 12.20 seconds. Normally in the women's hurdles, we

would expect a tight finish but not when this junk lady is in the field.

But she is head and shoulders above everybody. -- this young lady.

Technically she is so effective over these barriers. She flicks per lead

leg. She delays it long enough to get a good rhythm with her trail

leg. She pulls it strongly in front of her and does not waste any time

over the barrier whatsoever. She drives controlled aggression. This

is just the heats. She safely made her way through the US trials this

year so she will be in this stadium in three weeks' time and she will be

certainly in the final later this afternoon. The gap between first and

second. Johnson-Thompson was down at 13.45 seconds. ODE: That final is

later born. She is a joy to watch. Let us get back out. The field is of

high quality. COMMENTATOR: Perfect conditions for the field events.

Especially the pole vault. Holly Bradshaw is under some pressure. She

needs this to stay alive. Last attempt. It was not even close.

Holly Bradshaw had three fouls. That look on her phase tells it all. I

think it was a long step at the end, decelerating into the box are not

able to put the energy and force into the pole. It is unfortunate but

this junk lady is concentrating over the next 3-4 weeks about how to get

into shape for the world Championships. Disappointing third

time failure for Holly Bradshaw and knees to consolidate her

early-season form. She has jumped 4.80 metres. Time for the discus.

Last round. Daniel Stahl chasing down the lead of Fedrick Dacres.

Great clash between these two. Showing us his guns. Good work,

Daniel. I think it is close. 66.66 metres is the lead. Got his right

hip onto that. De Laet as his arm comes through. His hip goes on and

his armed followers. He is in great form. 71 metres this year. 66.73

metres. That is a victory. Switzerland, Nicole Buchler goes

clear. The women's pole vault coming to a climax. We still have the

climax to come. And Stefanidi is still involved. But Nicole Buchler

is clear at this height. 4.73, a really solid clearance for Nicole

Buchler. A season's best. She has jumped higher in the past. Fist pump

from her. Heat two of the women's 100-metre hurdles. We saw Harrison

looking so quick. What a day for Yasmin Miller of Derby, 22 years

old, finished second last week in the European Championships. In great

company. Raven Clay replaced Prandelli in the 100 metres earlier.

Sally Pearson, good to see Sally back and running well. The season 's

best was still what she set in Australia. I'm sure she would like

to go quick here, and former Olympic champion, Megan Simmonds,

23-year-old from Jamaica. A semifinalist last year in Rio.

Christina Manning is having a cracking year. The strength in depth

of American hurdling is almost legendary, but she got into the

team. Finishing third in the championships. The final wasn't a

fast affair. Nia Ali, as consistent as ever. Olympic silver-medallist.

But it was Sharika Nelvis who won the other night in Lausanne amidst

some confusion in the commentary box. Pedersen, the Norwegian having

a very good year. 12.75 is her new personal best. Just to remind you,

the top three will go through. They will join Harrison, Natalie

Visser and Jasmin Stowers. The Americans will have four at the

World Championships. Megan Simmonds gets a very good

start. Pearson going well. Raven Clay hitting the first couple of

hurdles. It will be very tight. Pearson hangs onto a top place.

Wasn't the cleanest of races. Manning went well. Did Nia Ali miss

out? It might have been quick enough, it looking at the time. Not

as quick as the winner of the first heat. The others were further

behind. Much closer between the top four here, I would imagine they will

all go through. Manning, not somebody when you look at the names,

but running consistently well. Not much between them. This is the kind

of sprint hurdle race we really expect from the women's event. Very

close. You could almost throw a blanket over them. Sally Pearson, I

think she could have run a season's best. She will not be far off. I

think she was getting too close to the hurdles and was struggling to

hold it all together. But a season Park best is still pretty good. But

how tight it is. You can why Kendra Harrison is so far ahead of

everybody else. This is all about silver. She's lent, did one of your

finishes, and Manning stood up across the line. Didn't matter, she

knew she was in the top three. I think Manning will go through also.

She is so far ahead, does it upset everybody else's rhythm? Kenny is so

good, takes herself so far out of the game, that really she doesn't

affect the others in any particular way. They can concentrate on the

battle for the silver medals. That's really strange when you think of

world-class running and world-class performances, that we can just give

a gold medal to somebody. But we always know. There is a top three,

Nia Ali will definitely qualify, as will Pedersen and Castlin from the

first heat. They will be the nine in the final later. The women's pole

vault. Holly Bradshaw out in sixth place. This is the Olympic champion

Stefanidi. A second attempt at this height and comfortable. Showed her

class there. Matches the clearance we saw from Nicole Buchler of

Switzerland. Very consistent, Tony. You see the speed of her on the

runway. It's all about developing the speed and being able to put the

energy in. Much more compact and a much tighter sprinter and carries

the speed into the poll. The Olympic champion setting out her stall in

the World Championships, in this very stadium, just a few weeks to

go. She will go in as favourite. The athletes taking part in the long

jump. Dan Bramble, most notably among the Brits. Ashley Bryant, the

multi-event is starting off. Also Henderson, jumping last. Here is

Jeff Henderson. Round two. He had a foul in the first round. Fast on the

approach. Over eight metres the Henderson. Fifth at the US trials

with 8.28. How has he got away with that? Surely it's a foul. I think he

nicked the plasticine. Did he get one pass the judges? He got the

white flag. The way he accelerates halfway down the runway. This event

is all about speed. And these guys are jumping into headwinds. Eight

point 17 there. The women's 800 metres in the London stadium. Not a

Diamond League event, but has one of the best in the world this year.

Charlene Lipsey in lane six, the American has been very impressive.

Alexandra Bell getting a run out. Oskan-Clarke, a great performer on

big occasions. Fifth at Beijing. A great Strieder. Won the UK

Championships in Birmingham last weekend. And there is Charlene

Lipsey. She and Wilson might be the three to dominate this event. Adelle

Tracey took second by a fraction, taking the second automatic

qualifying place ahead of Lynsey Sharp. Sharing lane four, Laura

Rosler was fourth last year. Esther Guerrero, the Spaniard. Lynsey

Sharp, sixth place in Rio. Disappointed to miss out in Rio.

Angela Petty, the New Zealander. Capable of quickly goes in lane two.

Williams, initially more of a 400-metre runner. Not only Charlene

Lipsey, might be a contender for a medal at the World Championships, we

have a domestic battle between Oskan-Clarke, Lynsey Sharp and

Adelle Tracey, who duelled it out in Birmingham last weekend.

The women's 800 metres under way. Watch how Lynsey Sharp runs in lane

three. She was happy to be boxed in in Lausanne because she felt she

didn't have to waste energy, going wide and making up the extra metres.

She likes to run pretty fast from the offset. Very different watching

Laura Muir and Hassan running the 800 metres at Lausanne, doing it

differently, starting slowly and then picking off athletes. Very much

a proving ground for Lynsey Sharp, racing here today. She needs to get

her confidence back and race well. She needs to put herself in the

right position within the race. She's in a great race against

Charlene Lipsey, who ran so well and so quickly in Lausanne. Lynsey Sharp

putting herself wide in a lot of races. Finally last week she got

into the box. The form is there, but not quite the confidence. Kendra

Chambers, the pacemaker, did her job. As to go in 57 seconds. 57.2

to, nobody really going with her. Oskan-Clarke always judges her races

so well. It Charlene Lipsey just ahead of Lynsey Sharp and moving

through is Esther Guerrero, the Spaniard on the outside. A good race

here. It's bunched up. Guerrero getting elbowed and checks her

stride. Lynsey Sharp in a good position but being tracked all the

time by Oskan-Clarke. Charlene Lipsey, one of the two very strong

Americans with Wilson this season. Lynsey Sharp digging in. Trying to

stay on. Here comes Oskan-Clarke once again. Lipsey with the win.

It's interesting, I'm sure Lynsey Sharp will get a nod for the team,

but once again, Shelayna Oskan-Clarke tends to judge the

races so well. We wonder if she can challenge the big three. Lynsey

Sharp gave it everything and just fading in the final 20. I think

Lynsey Sharp will be selected. We also doing Oskan-Clarke a disservice

when we talk about Lynsey Sharp as number one. She was number one last

year, but this year Shelayna Oskan-Clarke has taken her racing up

a level and has consistently, through the indoor and outdoor

season so far raced well and put herself in the right places in races

raced strongly. Lynsey Sharp may be over committing a little bit and

maybe not having enough elected in the tank in the closing straight to

fight to the line. But Shelayna Oskan-Clarke did that and raced

really well, underlining her selection going to the World

Championships. I think Lynsey Sharp will join her. Adelle Tracey might

be disappointed with her run today. She was impressive in the trials

last week but less so today. A good finish as well. Hedda Hynne, the

Norwegian, just leaking through the gap. The only thing missing for

Oskan-Clarke our times. But a season's best, going under two

minutes for the first time of the season.

Alexandra Bell, eighth place and a season's best time. STUDIO: We have

some music on now, the start of something a little unusual, but

sadly not unusual in. This is the quartet of the 4x400 metres, who

came fourth in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and have since been upgraded

to a bronze level because of the disqualification of Russia. Today

they are going to be presented with that bronze medal. There is a

protocol, the anthem will be played, and they will get to have their

moment. Denise, it's been said by many who have been upgraded, you

never get that moment back, do you? The moment in the stadium when the

adrenaline has been pumping and you race yourself to a podium position.

No, you don't. This is the crime of the drug cheats who rob athletes of

their moment to shine. I remember this four by four. The boys worked

hard. Martyn Rooney battled well. But today has to be bittersweet for

the athletes. It is time that they get the recognition, but it isn't

the same. 'S protocol them. There will be

deeply Grantham the Phantom Manor JJ Watt usually get with a bronze

medal. I wonder what is going through the mind, thinking back to

that day? There is also sponsorship. It could have made changes to the

decisions they make. This mob that will give them something. I think

Martyn Rooney will still be slightly angry. It did hurt. Nine years ago.

He has gone on to have a very good career since. Who knows? It is not

just the funding and sponsorship, it is the belief. When people cheat and

take that away from you there is very little you can see to

compensate. It is about the training. These boys went to the

competition believing they could win the medal out right on the day.

Believing that all the training was coming to the fourth. To get

everything on the track and to be robbed like that, it is tough. Some

of the boys have moved on and have forged different careers. That

moment in the stadium was everything. I mentioned Jessica

Ennis Hill. Hor medal was upgraded. Andrew Steele getting his moment. We

will see so many moments in London. The sport is working very hard, the

new ethics committee to make sure in the future that we don't. To make

sure that people's faith in the sport is restored. And that they can

believe. It is so you have somewhere to go so your case is heard. When

you are robbed, it does not take nine years to get your medal. You

mentioned a list of names. Kelly subaltern. Far too many athletes if

you do not mind me saying. They will enjoy this anthem. ANTHEM: God Save

The Queen. APPLAUSE

. Bingham, Rooney, steel and Tobin. The Beijing Olympics 4x400 metres

relay. You can run but you cant hide. The sport will catch it. Let

us get out on the track for some middle distance running. The 1500

metres. Steve Cram will commentate. And will comment on what you are

seeing. COMMENTATOR: I was chatting earlier on. There are two messages.

The positive message about these guys getting the medal that they

fully deserved. It is also about the moment that was robbed from them. We

have to continue the battle to make sure we do not have the ceremonies

in the future, as good as they are. Let us hope we have less of them in

the future. Well done, guys. Good moment for them. Colin and I was

seeing, should they have not came out in the 2008 kit? I still have

got my 1980 tracksuit top. It looks so small hanging in the wardrobe. My

1972 top is very tight. Good to see the guys. We have got the 1500

metres. Let us talk about selection. Charlie Grice, Jake Wightman, George

Kerevan Chris O'Hare. They went to the British trials. Charlie did not

perform well. It looks like Jake Reichmann would get the third spot.

Charlie Grice has elected not to race today and hopes the selectors

can be trusted for what he has so far. Charlie does not have many

options. Kristy Oatley is guaranteed a place. He ran very smartly last

week. I was enjoying Chris Brunt. He had a good race against Mo Farah at

the start of the season. There are two canyons. You could see Vincent

Kibet. And the frustrations that Charlie would have from not running

well last week. He is running in Switzerland on Tuesday. Filip

Ingebrigtsen is part of the family that is taking over. The young

Norwegian ran a junior steeplechase. Watch out for his name.

Please stand up, gentlemen. Back to the Ryan -- back to the line. False

start in the 1500 metres. Charlie Grice in the frustrating situation

to find himself in. The selections will be named tomorrow.

Despite having the qualifying time, it was great to see the four British

men running at 1500 metres. To have such a competitive Championships.

This is a competitive race here. For Chris O'Hare, this is the race he

will face in the world Championships. He needs to conduct

himself well. That is all he needs to do. Learn from this race and

conduct himself. He can go out with no pressure on himself. Ideal for

Charlie Grice, he is the leading 1500 metre runner. He is a finalist

in the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games. The progress

that he has been enjoying. Charlie Grice is down the outside. But

progress has been interrupted by the bad race he ran in the trials. He

will be burning with desire to run well today. The men he is running

next to, Chris O'Hare, he is relaxed. We thank the Chris O'Hare

will take a chance and run fast here today. Charlie has slotted in behind

his team-mate Chris O'Hare. Robbie Fitzgibbon is just further back, his

training partner. Bethel Bergen is wanting to press this. Kibet ran

well in Switzerland last night. Paul Marshall has got himself up. Three

British athletes very much in the top six or seven. Filip Ingebrigtsen

moving out. They come through 700 metres. They are heading something

for the 3.35 as long as they do not slow to much. There are two Kenyan

athletes in second and third. Big race between Chris O'Hear in fourth

place and right behind him and tracking him sensibly, Charlie

Grice. He moves ahead of Chris O'Hare. He is telling him he is good

enough. I think he is good enough. He has not won as well this year as

he has in the pass. This is his chance to get in the middle of this.

You can imagine that Jake Wightman on the warm up track will be

watching this. All Charlie can do is run as well as he can.

400 metres to go. Kibet starts to push on. Charlie Grice following on.

Charlie Grice is running strongly, challenging Kibet. Filip

Ingebrigtsen is moving quickly. Chris O'Hare on the inside. He

slightly slowing. Charlie Grice has run a good race. Filip Ingebrigtsen

has struggled so far this year. His younger brother has been gaining all

of the headlines. Charlie Grice is still in a good position. Now Chris

O'Hare finds the gap. It is Filip Ingebrigtsen who has stolen a march.

Kibet is chasing. Look at Chris O'Hare with his blistering turn of

pace. Chris O'Hare trying to get there. He is sprinting for this. He

is going to get it. Chris oche wins at. Three

he got a personal best and attacked too early. He normally times are

very well. What he did not do last weekend, he doesn't panic. He got in

a bad position. Chris does not panic and waits for the gaps to appear. He

trusts himself and his pace and came away with the win. He comes on the

finishing pace. He trusts his finishing. He battles in the

finishing straight. He has not won it comfortably, he did it by working

hard and sticking to it, by crossing the line, leaning forward and

pushing every ounce. There he is moving quickly into the finishing

straight. Charlie Grice had ran a fine race. He was fading away. It is

down to three men. Who wanted to win it most? Chris O'Hare, the British

champion, looking for the post before going to the world

Championships. -- looking for the boost. Superb performance for Chris

oche. Not his personal best but not far off it. Kibet and Filip

Ingebrigtsen not far behind. Chris is now with Phil. Brendan Foster was

talking about getting a boost before the World Championship. It is so

much fun out here. Listening to the national anthem. Watching the boys

get their medal. It gave me a boost. The pace was not comfortable. I was

trying to keep working hard in training. My legs were not fresh.

With 300 to go, I felt fine. I had to push out to get back into the

race. And that determination is something above all else we have

seen from you time after time, that fighting spirit you have got deep

within you. You have to fight for what you want, nobody will give it

to you. If you want to be the best you have to fight for that. What

about being back here for the world Championships with this as a

sendoff? It is amazing. That is going to be more people here for the

Worlds. The crowd no how to get behind us. It will be magical.

Congratulations. ODE: There are some athletes who raise their game. That

was a great display. He puts together everything you need

to be to be a top performer. He is really calm. He judged that

perfectly. He took the bit between his teeth. He was impetuous and

possibly attacked too soon. He timed it to perfection, Chris oche. To be

healthy and racing well, coming into the home Championships. Charlie

Grice had everything to win today. Chris O'Hare had a little bit to

lose. He did not panic. He really deserved that victory. The man they

all aspire to, that led the way to middle distance running for nearly a

decade now, it'll be his farewell season on the track, Mo Farah.

Reluctantly crowd at the starting line. Engines pumping in line. The

green flag score up. It is Mo Farah. He is sprinting away. Bow to his

superiority. Mo Farah wins the gold. He is striking for home now. Mo

Farah is the world champion again. He is the double Olympic champion.

Have you seen anything like that? He is going to get gold for Great

Britain again. The double-double. Any seconds now we will see their

men's 400-metre hurdles with Olympic champion Kerron Clement. The men's

200 metres in includes Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake. And Aries Merritt is

getting close to his best. The Olympic champion in the women's long

jump, Bartoletta. Followed by the final of the women's 100 metres with

Elaine Thompson and Dafne Schippers going head-to-head. Allyson Felix,

another American legend here today. The men's 800 metres features Amos.

The first of two sprint hurdles finals. Cameron Harrison recreate

the record run from this time last year. Laura Muir is after Zola

Budd's record in the mile, 30 years old. Mo Farah will be rounding off

an amazing afternoon in the 3000 metres. We can get out. Andrew

Cotter can talk us through the start of the 400-metre hurdles.

COMMENTATOR: Jack Green just had his introduction. Kerron Clement, the

Olympic champion, not great by his lofty standards this season, only

seventh in the US championships but he's OK for the World Championships.

He has a wild card is the 2016 Diamond League race when. Kyron

McMaster from the British Virgin Islands. What an improvement this

year. Went below 49 seconds for the first time, and then 47.8. Eric

Futch won the US title in Sacramento last month in a personal best time.

We have the one and two from the US trials because Michael Stigler was

second in Sacramento, also a personal best there of 48.2 six. A

very strong line-up. Mamadou Kasse Hann from France. The former

Senegalese athlete. Quincy Downing has the second quickest time in the

world this year, Duran that in Jamaica at the start of June, but

only sixth at the US Championship. No Worlds for Quincy. On the inside,

Jacob Paul. He was second at the UK Championships behind Jack Green.

Green is in lane nine. Jacob Paul looking for the qualifying standard.

Jack Green looking to get down into the 48s. He says he's feels

comfortable at the low 49s. Wants to get back to where he was in 2012.

Can he do it today? Strong line-up. The Diamond League points leader is

not here. Jacob Paul on the inside. Downing, Hann, Stigler, Eric Futch,

McMaster, Clement, Copello and Jack Green.

Jack Green on the far outside running with nobody outside him, but

Copello moves quickly alongside. McMaster in lane six, a barrier is

clattered. McMaster is flying over the opening 200. Jacob Paul looking

for a qualifying standard on the inside. Jacob Paul tends to finish

races strongly. McMaster of the British Virgin Islands is a long way

clear of the rest. He is the quickest man in the world this

season. A little stumble from McMaster. Getting tired now. They

are chasing him down. Stigler and Clement are both coming. McMaster is

tiring. Just so well. Clement said he was struggling a bit this season,

but perhaps he's timing this season as well as he timed that race. A

slap on the backside, celebration Copello. Rate stuff from Clement.

McMaster, we know his youthful exuberance and his talent, but he

got it a little bit wrong in terms of judgment. Just went off too fast.

Clement with a season's best time for victory. The right time to be

turning it on and Kerron Clement is certainly doing that. This is where

experience comes in. Clement has been around a long time. He will

have seen all this in front of him with people going off and tearing

round the first 300 metres and not being able to sustain it. He has a

huge gap to make up, but the young man McMaster stumbled so badly off

that barrier. He fell apart and crumbled. Watching him all away

around, the master has to be very careful trailing. When he pulls his

trailing leg around the barriers he sometimes doesn't clear it. He has

to be careful. In some Championships that will be scrutinised and he

could end up being discovered by. That was a tough 48.12 for him. A

quick race, but Clement, the Olympic champion, takes it.

Stefanidi, unbeaten so far in 2017. The Olympic champion. Comfortable

again. Tony, she's really taken control of the competition. Great

speed into the poll. This is the height she comfortable at. We will

see where she goes next. 4.73, the bar will go to 4.81 next. Stefanidi

going clear at this site. This is 4.81 just to confirm. First-time

clearance for Stefanidi. Looking really good ahead of Morris, the

silver-medallist from Rio. Another field event underway, the

long jump with Dan Bramble chasing automatic qualification of 8.15, but

jumping into a slight headwind. Has jumped eight metres already this

year, just below it there. Hasn't quite got into that form today. His

best so far is 7.4 nine. This looks a little better. Just shy of eight

metres, Tony. Just forward rotating a little bit. Much better speed. 12

centimetres is the difference on the board, a bit of wasted distance.

Drops his head and comes in early. Keep his chest and head up and he

will have a better chance of getting up to the 8.15 he needs. 7.8 four.

Looking to get himself fit, Greg Rutherford. Dan Bramble hoping to

join Rutherford. Henderson, his compatriot. The two Americans out in

front. Michael Hartfield was seventh at the US trials with 7.94, such is

the strength. He would make the team in any other in the world. Apart

from North America. Michael Hartfield, quick, isn't he? Quick

and a much flatter trajectory at take-off. We saw Dan Bramble go up

and down and stole a bit. This chap carries more speed across the board

and carries it into the pit. 7.99 for Hartfield. Nicole Buchler to

stay in the competition and match the clearance of Stefanidi. She has

two fouls, this is a final try. Can't do that. The red flag pops up.

Even without taking off, that's a foul. New territory for her. That

would have been a lifetime best. But it was a good performance ahead of

Morris. Stefanidi takes the win ahead of Nicole Buchler. Morris, the

reigning world champion, same height as Holly Bradshaw. Zharnel Hughes is

coming up next in the men's 200 metres. He came fourth in the trials

last week in Birmingham. He had the qualifying time. He had a fantastic

heat, but it didn't quite happen for him in the final, Denise? It didn't.

This was a man looking so easy in the heats and for all intents and

purposes he ran a really good turn. Just where we are expecting him to

kick on, he panics. The panics, sees Talbot and Mitchell-Blake and then

others go past him. I think he overcooked it. He can't overthink

the race today. He is quick enough, he has the talent. He has to enjoy

the race and prove to the selectors that he is a worthy candidate. His

shoulders are rocking and rolling and he's starting to fight at this

point. He needed to stay relaxed and perhaps he would have secured a

better position than he did. He'd had such an exemplary run here.

Looked absolutely relaxed, his running style is so natural. What

would be successful for him today in terms of doing enough for the

selectors? Is it to take the scalp of his potential team-mate

Mitchell-Blake to show his racing is on track? The danger for him is that

he shouldn't get into the race in battle. Not focus on the domestic

battle. He is gifted, he has trained well. He looks the part. He has to

do attacked the bend and just stay relaxed. The selectors will know he

can perform on the big stage. Fifth at the Beijing World Championships

in 2015. What will that stand in terms of his credit when they think

of whose name will be on the selector's sheet? Steve Cram. He is

out in lane nine. He will hope he can run his own race here. If you

are looking for new names in athletics, Fred Curley. A superb

season in 400 metres, the American champion. A massive talent. His

first ever Diamond League meeting. Christophe LeMaitre, well-known in

Diamond League meetings and a European bronze-medallist.

Mitchell-Blake is in superb form. Most of his racing in the US but is

now staking a claim as a big member of the British team. Dan Talbot

having a great season. A great runner on the bend. In the form of

his life and getting closer to the 22nd mark, which would be the holy

grail for the 200-metre runners. Isiah Young has made the

Championships for the US in recent years. Never performs well there.

Produces fast times but rarely runs well at the championships. Rasheed

Dwyer from Jamaica in lane two. Tougher as we move to the inside

lanes. Another sub 22nd man. And Commonwealth Games champion as well.

And Martina, another well-known figure in European 200-metre rowing.

A former medallist. 33 years old, on the inside. No Adam Gemili. So for

Zharnel Hughes, stake your claim here, run your race, run fast, and

hope the selectors see that as a performance to merit selection, and

Adam Gemili will be hoping he gets more time. Mitchell-Blake and Dan

Talbot, no worries for them. Looking for good performances against

world-class opposition. Ameer Webb, the American champion, in lane four.

Yeah, well, we were almost heading for that. I was watching the outer

lanes. Colin, it was a long time before they went to the set

position. I know we have to wait until everybody is ready but you

think it was Isiah Young. It was uncomfortable watching that. It was

really long, an extremely long time. I was trying to look at what the

officials are doing to see if they were checking peoples fingers. It

was really tough. You have good eyes still! Isiah Young, he's in lane

three. Lane one was all so close. Isiah

Young coming up as a negative. Must have moved before. The pressure pad

is very sensitive. They are checking it out.

is going to get gold for Great Britain again. The double-double.

was a very long holder before they went to the set position.

It is very tight. 20.14. Fred Kerley would be delighted if he got second.

The others were around 20.3. That is your winner. It is interesting. When

a 400-metre runner can come to the 200 metres and run a personal best.

You have to think, what is wrong? It is an event that has not come alive

for me this year. He is the main contender to take the gold in the

World Championships anti-is a great 400-metre runner. He is an

phenomenal 400 metres ship. And he has ran 19.84 for the 200 metres. He

is head and shoulders above everybody. The three British

athletes were very close. Mitchell-Blake and Danny Talbot. It

has Danny Talbot is fourth on the screen in the stadium. I do not

think that is right. Mitchell-Blake surely is fourth. It is close for

Zharnel Hughes and Danny Talbot after that. Good run from Fred

Kerley in second. It might well be Hughes ahead of Danny Talbot. We are

having some problems in here with the technical aspects of this. The

result is appealing on the screen are not correct and some of the

media have been struggling with some of the results. That is how we see

it. Mitchell-Blake confirmed in fourth place. That British battle,

Hughes ahead of Daniel Talbot. Is that good enough? Let us pose the

questions to the man himself, is that good enough for the selectors

to give you the third pick? I think it was good enough for me. Hopefully

they can select me and give me a chance. Myself and my coach have

some bits and pieces to work on right now. I trust that everything

will be fine for me. I will come to the World Championships and the

liver. You read on the outside lane, lane nine, what is going through

your line on what you need to do? It is getting off the bend and staying

focused. Not going to close to the inside lane. After that, stay

relaxed in the home straight, power my way through and hold on. It is

their frustration and you could not get the place last week, you have to

go through this process? It was frustrating. On that today, I did

not execute the race I wish I'd could have. I messed up coming

around the bend. It cost me in the home straight. I am in great shape.

It is for me to go out and prove that at the World Championships. We

wish you well. Thank you. Have a good day. COMMENTATOR: In the last

round of the long jump. Henderson went from fourth to first in the

Olympics last year. He is already in the lead at these anniversary games.

This is the last jump. It looks to be bang on the mark that he set in

the second round. He is in shape but not guaranteed to go to the World

Championships. If he does, he is a contender. I think so. If you look

at his speed. The way that he gathers his stride, he stands up on

the board. Look at his leg speed. He is running into a headwind. Just not

able to generate the speed that he needs. This is the pet that took

Greg Rutherford to gold five years ago. Let us hope he can return to

action from that angle injury. -- ankle injury. He has won the

competition. It is one, two, three for America. There is the final

result. Some unravelling of the best Americans that will contest for the

World Championships. Bramble looks to be a long way off. Another great

field event. Look out for Marriott Mass at Skinner. She is competing

unattached. Mariya Lasitskene is the unattached athlete. Morgan Lake is

easily capable of this. More like it. Some nerves from Morgan. She

will be happy with that. The competition continues and she can

settle in. She might have needed that as a secular. Morgan Lake, 1.80

clearance. Morgan Lake cleared 1.96 to take the

British title last week. We know she is in form. She jumped 1.93 in

Switzerland during the week. This is 1.85. Moving up to watch what she is

capable of. Very good. Perhaps she has settled on? I think so. I think

it is difficult coming from Switzerland. Finding your river am a

little bit in this stadium is something she will have to get used

to. Last year she jumped nine times over 1.90. And apart up and coming

star, Vashti Cunningham. She is the daughter of Randall Cunningham. The

great quarterback. Her dad was a great superstar, Philadelphia Eagles

quarterback. Her coach will be happy with that and so does she. Some

absentees from the men's 110 metres hurdles. Jake Porter goes for

Britain. So does David Omoregie. Michael Thomas from Trinidad and

Tobago. 13.33 this season. Eddie Lovett is from the US Virgin Islands

now. A couple of Americans in this line-up. Jarret Eaton was fourth in

the indoor Championships. Seventh at the US trials. And the Birchall

Harrier, Jake Porter. Finished third in the UK Championships. That was

won by David King. That is Garfield Darien. 13.09 last month. Fourth

quickest in the world this year. And Milan Trajkovic from Cyprus is just

inside him. He run well in the Paris Diamond League race. Aaron Mallet

from the United States in lane two. David Omoregie just takes it. 13.44

four David Omoregie. That was untidy from if you athletes. It was very

noisy. You can see the scattered debris on the track. David Omoregie

was the least untidy of all. Just about taking it. Decent finish as

well from Jarret Eaton. It was close. Little look across from Milan

Trajkovic. Three go through automatically. You have described

that so well. It is the body on the track. It is pure carnage. Look at

all the hurdles that abound. Lots of athletes have clattered the barriers

and have taken them out of the race by hitting the barriers. We remember

that David made that crucial trial at the -- crucial mistake at the

trials. More than capable of getting the automatic place. He pulls

himself through antiques this heat which is important. It will give him

a goodly drop in the final. He just needs to run a clean race, do not

put yourself under pressure. I think we will see him return to this

stadium. He will be back for the final in about one hour. Look at him

again. You might see some barriers getting knocked by all and sundry.

The first barrier, straight into it. That is the most crucial. We want to

generate speed. We do not want to make any mistakes for the first

three hurdles. After that if you crash into them it is not too bad

because you already have your pace and verve. A clean race is still the

best race. He defeated some good quality athletes in Garfield Darien.

And Jarret Eaton. The three who qualify are David Omoregie, Milan

Trajkovic and Jarret Eaton. Personal best for Jake Porter in seventh

place. Mariya Lasitskene, neutral athlete,

in brackets, Russian. 1.85. Look at that. She is dominant on the Diamond

League and is unbeaten this year. She was the world champion last

year. She is the favourite to take the world title again this year.

Matthew Hudson-Smith. Ran a superb race at the British trials last week

in the 400 metres. He went under 45 seconds. He is the only person who

has cemented his place. Martyn Rooney is European Champion. He is

designated to be eligible if you brush to have the qualifying time.

And the man who surprised everybody, the man who won the European team

Championships. Matthew Hudson-Smith in lane five. Michael Cherry

insight. Matthew Hudson-Smith stopped and then tripped. It looks

like he felt it was a false start. Let us hope he is OK. Big gap in the

middle. Martyn Rooney trying to chase down Rabah Yousif. Martyn

Rooney has been smooth through the first 200. And also Michael Cherry.

Kevin Borlee trying to get into this. Tony McQuay is the one going

well. Look at Michael Cherry. The storms away. Good performance from

Renny Quow. Closest to the camera. The best of the British athletes.

That will be another quick time. Renny Quow keeps getting better.

They are not going to the World Championships but the two of them

ran so fast that the American trials and that not have to go so quickly

to win today. That was earlier as he made the

transition from BBC Two to BBC One. Phil Jones has news on Matthew

Hudson-Smith. And it's good news. When Matthew stumbled out of the

box, he initially clutched his hamstring. Looked like it could be

trouble, but as he walked off, he said it was no injury, he was

embarrassed more than hurt and he will be fine to be at the World

Championships in London. Just checking behind to see the men

lining up for the second of the 110 metre hurdles heats. It's good news,

Denise, when we saw earlier we thought there was panic for Matthew

Hudson-Smith. It is good news. He had injuries last season but he's

fit, great, the winner of the trials, so he has is qualifying spot

anyway. That's good. We can get down there and Steve Cram can talk you

through the second heat of the men's 110 metre hurdles. COMMENTATOR:

Going back to the 400, Callan with another personal best. -- Cowan with

another personal best, doing himself a lot of favours for selection.

David King goes in lane two in this one, winner of the British

Championships, going to the World Championships. Shane Brathwaite, the

bronze-medallist from the Commonwealth Games, 31 this year,

not quite going as fast as he would like. Aries Merritt, what a good

year he's having. If you are not aware, this man had a kidney

transplant adverse comeback in superb form. Devon Allen had a

pretty obvious. In Paris. An American football talent, now

focused on athletics. Ali Karas won the trials. If you do that in

American high hurdles, you're not doing bad at all. Still has to run

the times to go with that. Yet to break 30 -- 13 seconds. Wenjun Xie

of China. Nicholas Hough of Australia, and then Koen Smet of the

Netherlands. The top three and the three fastest go through. We had a

messy race in heat one. With this one, three Americans, you would be

surprised if it's not those three. But you never know.

This race suffered from the withdrawal of Pozzi and McLeod was

going to be here as well. The guy who won in Paris, and surprised

everyone, he was another one hoping to be here. The defending champion

isn't here, but will be when they come back in August. Devon Allen

right in the middle, lane five. Two team-mates either side, Aries

Merritt and Aleec Harris. Devon Allen gets the best start.

Being left a little bit is the American champion. These two pulling

away with Brathwaite, who will be the top three. 13.24. No

histrionics. Fairly straightforward. What on earth happened to Harris?

Maybe Colin saw, he never got going. It left Brathwaite able to come

through for the third spot. We can pick up with Harris. Aries Merritt,

Olympic champion and world record holder. All of that in the two or

three years, and then going through something which in anybody 's life,

a kid in transplant, but he has come back consistently good, Colin. I

spoke to him just before and just after his transplant and he's always

in a positive mind frame. He always felt he could return, and return he

has. One of the things Harris has, he's blessed with a flawless,

smooth, liquid like technique. He glides over the barriers. He made it

look like a huge gap between him and the hurdles, that's fine. What you

don't want to do is raise or lower your centre of gravity. Keep it as

close to your sprinting form as you can, and he managed to do that. Long

legs and he's the world-record holder. Wenjun Xie will go through

as well. Probably too from the other heat that will go through as fastest

losers, to the final. Morgan Lake, 1.9 zero. Second chance. That's

better. She ran at that. A little bit bouncy, Tony. I think she's

struggling to find her rhythm. Those failures in competition like the

World Championships will count. A little wobble there, again over

1.90. Again, showing consistency here. First round of the javelin.

Elizabeth Gleadle of Canada. Season's best of 62 metres. Just

accelerated on that. That's a decent throw. I thought that had stalled,

but the javelin levelled out mid-flight. Her eyes are up in the

air. The javelin follows that, but somehow lined it up. It looks like

Elizabeth Gleadle could be closing down her lifetime best, that was

64.93 a couple of years ago. She knew she got that right, Tony. The

tattoo says keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on the stars. I

think she was looking at the stars there, higher than you would say.

But gets it out with a good opener. Season's best, Elizabeth Gleadle

takes the lead. Ashley Cunningham in the high jump. She's already had two

fouls. Good. Whatever was the problem on those first two attempts,

she has managed to sort it out. She's only 19 years of age. A young

indoor champion. Hugely talented American. Maybe she will be around

for many years to come. And maybe this year's World Championships.

Cunningham continues in the women's high jump. The women are out for the

100-metre final. The heats were earlier today, the silver-medallist

from the Rio Olympics, flying Dutchwoman Dafne Schippers. She

looked amazing in this hundred. She was gliding, when she's in top mode

she's beautiful to watch. Gliding past everyone. A new season's best.

I was worried about her earlier in the season. Even watching over the

200 where she did not seem like the Dafne Schippers of last year. But

she has put that behind her. Running a fast time earlier in the week. But

over 100, when she runs smoothly, I think she's great to watch. She is

looking strong, quick. Over the last few weeks you might have looked

heavy and slow, but this should be a really good final. Used to be a

heptathlete and made the transition a couple of seasons ago to focus on

the sprints, 100 and 200 metres. Elaine Thompson, I don't know what

this means and the difference it would make to her time, but I was

reading after the race, where she looked great, that she was only in

racing flats, not spikes. That can't be true. That would be incredible.

As relaxed as she is to get through. She might do that in heats in 1500

metres, but in 800 metres, but she wouldn't do that, surely. She might

be nursing an injury, but usually you do not see that in sprints, not

at this level. You would expect her to have her spikes on now and

pushing for her very best. It's time for the race and he is Andrew

Cotter. COMMENTATOR: Unlike the men's sprint we get that chance here

to see the best of women's sprinting coming together. Dafne Schippers is

a little bit further down the list. Oliveira Santos, already won in

Lausanne during the week. Morolake Akinosun. The American is one of

four women to go Lo 11 seconds this season in this line-up. Daryll

Neita, there is a British tussle between her and Asha Philip.

Okagbare-Ighoteguonor, she finished strongly in her heat. Also in the

long jump. Dafne Schippers, another great 200-metre runner. Schippers

has always been powerful, looks even more muscular this season, but when

she gets her speed up she's very hard to catch. Michelle-Lee Ahye

looks distracted, but focused, I'm sure. Second fastest in the world

this year, running 10.82. Alongside, is rare to see her in lane seven,

but she just jogged through their feet, Elaine Thompson. Schippers has

never beaten Elaine Thompson over 100 metres. It's not a bad lane for

Thompson, she is next to the flying starter, Asha Philip. She needs to

go closer to her personal best of 11.10 to get closer to these

runners. And Murielle Ahoure is a nonstarter.

Just trying to see... I think Elaine Thompson is running in flats again.

Colin Jackson is looking and saying, I think they are flats. Maybe she is

protecting something. Her feet or Achilles. Asha Philip is away very

quickly. Thompson now leaving her. Schippers looking to come through.

The American is looking to come through. Thompson gets it, just.

10.95, into a little bit of a breeze as well. Thompson takes the victory.

I think she wanted that to say, with three weeks' time on this track,

can't go with a psychological disadvantage of being beaten here.

Dafne Schippers bested at the line by Elaine Thompson. It's rounded

down to 10.94. Asha Philip didn't get her best start this time. Elaine

Thompson was smartly out. Again, the wind into their faces, 1.4 metres

per second. A season's best time for Okagbare-Ighoteguonor. Below 11

seconds. Schippers would have loved to get her first victory over 100

metres over Elaine Thompson. Still the woman to beat. And it's the

window I have been impressed with, the women running under 11 seconds

into a strong headwind. We are looking at performances around the

10.8 mark in good conditions. Looking closely at her shoes, quite

chunky heels on them. It could be that she's in flats or something

similar that. She has run 10.94 on a pair of old Dunlop Green flats. If

Dafne Schippers can't beat her with that sort of position after 30 or 40

metres, it is unlikely to come. Elaine Thompson coming back, not

sure if she is struggling, but good enough there are. Good enough

indeed. In with Dafne Schippers and Elaine Thompson. Being in this

stadium ahead of the World Championships has given you a taste

of what's to come. It's perfect. I love the atmosphere. Great people

here. It was a good race is the green in terms of your form building

to the World Championships, are you aware of who you need to beat? Of

course. I will work on the last parts and we will be OK. Look

forward to seeing you at the World Championships. Elaine Thompson, well

done. You came bursting through in typical style. We saw you were

running in flats, are you all right? I'm OK. I'm not comfortable in my

new spike trainers. So I'm doing it in these flats. I'm trying to get

used to it, even though it feels weird. I just want to execute. After

the double gold medal success in Rio last year, you are the big star of

athletics. How are you looking forward to the World Championships?

Really looking forward. The track feels great and the crowd is

awesome. I get that drive already. Trying to pave the way to the

Worlds. You know you will get incredible support here. You said in

2012 that you will feel the same love. You know that a lot of

Jamaicans are in London. To feel the crowd, I just want to execute and

give them all my love. Great to see you here and we look forward to

seeing you back. ODE: She is an effervescent

personality. She was in trainers, practically. She must have some

spikes. They are not ordinary trading shoes. They are very light

and will suit her. This is a woman who has ran 10.70 so we do expect to

see how move through the field that we expect too. Very relaxed and

beautiful running. Clearly confident. Such incredible upper

body strength. And courage. You look at Dafne Schippers, different body

type. Elaine Thompson is very light. She glides across the floor. She is

beautiful to watch. Dafne Schippers is a powerful runner and makes great

use of her stride length. I think she looks really strong. She is

possibly racing in the racing flats with the carbon fibre plate. You

certainly feel like you are sprinting faster than them. There

must be some sort of Spike grip on the bottom, surely, to run that

quick. The sprinters are so sensitive to the changes in the

footwear. For her to run that quickly, it is pretty impressive. It

is ominous for one month's time. Let us get back to the high jump and

Steve Backley. The high jump is hotting up. Erika Kinsey, the

relatively unknown Swede. Looking to clear the new height of 1.94 and

does, just. That is a seasoned's best for her. That will go into the

lead. First time clearance. Mariya Lasitskene. The world leader goes

clear also. That is the first time clearance. She has knocked the bar

off at a lower height and will be in second place to the Swede. She

jumped 2.06 the few days ago. She is in great shape.

COMMENTATOR: This is an interesting race because of the appearance of

Allyson Felix. Natasha Hastings did her best and did not make it into

the team. Some new names in the American team as we head towards the

World Championships. Allyson Felix is the defending champion so she did

not have to contest. She has only run one race this year. She ran the

200 metres at the American Championships. Really interesting to

see how Allyson Felix does. Shericka Jackson has finished in third to

Shaunae Miller and Allyson Felix at the US Championships. Novlene

Williams-Mills is 35 and still running well. Emily Diamond cemented

her place at the World Championships work the fine run behind is a Lee

Clark. She is not here today. Those two have made the team. And we see

this young lady. Shamier Little. Roulette 400-metre hurdler. She is

now ninth best in the world ever at 400-metre hurdles. And Verone

Chambers on the inside. The British scenario, Perri shakes Drayton,

continued her good return to form, 32.7 Elliott in the week. Young

Nielsen has the time. She is going to the under 20 fees.

Only Emily Diamond in this for Great Britain. Allyson Felix in lane six.

The world champion. Interesting to see how well she goes here.

Cleanly away. Jackson inside Allyson Felix, trying to chase through the

first 100 metres. Those two away quickly. Allyson Felix already

making ground on Natasha Hastings. Hastings try to hold onto the collar

of the American. Jackson is getting closer. Allyson Felix relaxing

around the bend. Courtney Okolo is taking it to them. Allyson Felix now

starting to dominate. She moves into the home straight with that lovely

action that she has. And no Allyson Felix is stretching away from the

field. Shamier Little doing well in lane two. Allyson Felix will win

this from Courtney Okolo and then Shamier Little. Quickest in the

world this year. I was interested to see how well she does. Shamier

Little was running well. Those two are the standout 400-metre runners.

Is Allyson Felix still capable of dropping a time? That is your

answer. Yes. She looked very impressive, especially in the last

120 metres. Good performance. She had a great battle with Shami --

Shaunae Miller. Allyson Felix, there were questions about how she could

run. She always looks so impressive. She has a grace. Ale of running. She

is not slowing down over the last metres as much as you would expect

to. Good run by Shamier Little. The hurdler has got great strength

coming down the stretch and was impressive over the flat. This is a

great angle to watch the style of Allyson Felix. She has got a long

stride that does not tighten up. When she comes round the bend, she

opens the stride length without increasing the cadence. Her speed of

exploration is very deceptive. -- of acceleration. Well done, the world

lead, you must be thrilled? I am rounding into shape so I am happy.

You have the automatic spot on your World Championship win, you did not

have to compete in the trials, how have you planned it? I wanted to be

gradual this year. A very tough last year. Just easing my way into it.

How did it feel being back out there, the London atmosphere. I love

racing here, felt good to be back. And for the World Championships,

adding to gold medals. I am still enjoying the sport. I am still going

to keep fighting hard. We wish you well. Good luck.

COMMENTATOR: Morgan Lake, the British champion, under pressure.

Two files. I was expecting more. That did not look bright. Seemed to

lose them. Put in a big stride and then tried to run at the bar. Ended

up running straight at it instead of maintaining the curve. Not the

free-flowing movement that we saw at the Nigel Championships when she

cleared 1.9 six. -- National Championships. The long jumpers are

right. That is your starters. Johnson-Thompson. That is a great

field. This is Christabel Nettey to get

things under way in the first round. That is around 6.60. Reasonable

start. Christabel Nettey, 26, Canadian. The men jumped into a

slight headwind. The athletes can expect that. She goes into the lead.

6.63. I've felt she was busy on the runway. She was oscillating forward

and back. Johnson-Thompson, first round. Bang on that leading mark.

What is your reaction? I think from that point view, running better than

previously on the runway. She dropped her feet in early. It was

lazy. Just finding her marker. There is a lot more. You can see the track

out as she follows, there is lots of energy. If she stays up in the air

and brings her chest down, hold the landing position, she can get more

distance. Good opener, in second place. There is an intriguing men's

800 metres coming up. Intriguing for the men. So much still to sort out.

Why is Jake Wightman going for this today? I think Jake has made a

decision for his preparation moving forward to London. He was

disappointed with the result and the trials. He turned out when lots of

people did not in the European team Championships. He came back tyre

that the trials. He has decided to race best that the World

Championships, he needs 800 metres now. You can assume he will not be

up for selection for the 800 metres at the moment. Andrew Osagie needs

to be swell. Elliot Giles needs 18. Kyle Langford needs a time. If they

get it, they put themselves into the reckoning. Should be expected quick

race? COMMENTATOR: They are expecting for the quick race. The

British athletes involved. Asbel Kiprop, he is having a bash at the

800. Bram Som is the established pacemaker of the circuit. He has

been asked to do 49 seconds. Nijel Amos is back to form, won the

Diamond League in Paris, medal behind David Rudisha in that famous

race five years ago. Never the prettiest to watch but looking good

again in terms of times. Andrew Osagie was involved in that final

and dragged along to personal bests. He would've liked that UK

Championships to be quicker. He has the standard. You could get into top

two. Donavan Brazier of the United States. 20 years old. That is

Kiprop. Very tall figure. Nicer Elliot Giles to share a lean with

the great man. Asbel Kiprop was the Olympic champion in Beijing's over

1500 metres and the World Championship the last feedback

times. And Adam Chris Scott. Great a hundred metres runner. Very fast

finisher. Erik Sowinski. Jake Wightman, the Dream Mile. It was

such a high quality field that he defeated. That is why he is in prime

position to go to the World Championships at 1500 metres. And

Mark English from Ireland has been quick this season. It will be a

quick race if the goal with the pacemaker. Bram Som. Elliot Giles

looking for the qualifying time. What can they manage? The final of

the men's 800 metres. Kyle Langford was disappointed in Birmingham, just

outside the top two. And Andrew Osagie was in fifth place but he is

better than that. All the main British protagonists in the 800

metres are here. Bram Som reads them out. This is fascinating from a

British point of view. Kyle Langford is pushed by English. On the

outside, the tall figure of the three times world champion over 1500

metres. Asbel Kiprop is moving. If the pace is 49 seconds, it is too

fast for most of the field. Nigel Amos, the Olympic silver-medallist

in second place. They are being sensible, not going with the

pacemaker. Nigel Amos is capable of living with that but still quick for

Nigel Amos. Asbel Kiprop in fourth place. The British contenders are

doing what they have to do, hanging back. That is right. Can Nigel Amos

do anything like he did previously in this stadium? Two races, one for

selection for the British athletes. And the race at the front is

different. Nigel Amos in front and Donavan Brazier as well as Asbel

Kiprop. Nigel Amos stretching out his stride. Nigel Amos is coming

away and looking good. He was the silver-medallist five years ago and

might be a contender in three weeks. He will take the victory with a

quick time. 1:43.19. The British athletes might of been dragged along

for that qualifying time. That was great to see. Remember that

great race we saw here against David Rudisha. David broke the world

record and ran one of the great races of all time. The interesting

thing from a British point of view, Elliot Gyles ran strongly, he

qualified. Almost ran a personal best. Behind him, Kyle Langford has

come through and he looks quick as well. We're watching Amos, a

controlled athlete, the Olympic silver-medallist. At the same time,

in third place, the tall figure of Asbel Kiprop. Amos looking good

there, and that makes this an exciting return to form. Should be a

great race in this stadium, maybe not like we had last time around,

but interesting race. Elliot Gyles with a personal best, I'm pretty

sure. It has just been confirmed. Elliot Gyles with a personal best.

He has the qualifying standard and when he gets his breath back he will

be chatting to fill. World leading time for Nijel Amos. That's the

qualifying standard. Elliot Gyles will be here. Good race and good

times from the British athletes. We can hear from a couple of them now.

We will start with Nijel Amos. What a race that was, after all your

injury problems it must delight you. Coming to this stadium, for me I

just want to keep my moment to live here. Every time I step here don't

want to change anything. You have been through some trouble sometimes.

What's been the key in getting you back to this kind of form? I kept my

faith, kept on praying and working hard and knowing one day things

would come together. You had your Olympic silver here. We wish you

well for the World Championships in a few weeks. Thank you. Elliot

Gyles, a qualifying time and a personal best. You will definitely

be on the team. It's great. I was some way back, and I thought I was

in the place for a 39 five. It took me by surprise. A bit more

experience and hopefully I can latch onto those guys and not try to push

on when I felt the gap was made in the first lap and nowhere else. I

need to learn a bit more. APB of 1.3 four. I don't know when I will wake

up, it is I'm dreaming. I need to start winning and go from there.

Well done on getting that time. We will see you back here soon. Guy

Learmonth is here as well. Equally delighted, sharing the delight with

your mate Elliot Giles. What's it like when you go to a race like

this, a race within a race sometimes and you need to do a specific thing.

I have never run these times before. I have lost my breath and voice, I

apologise! Don't want to get too carried away. Felt good at 600,

faded a little bit. Just hanging in. I knew it was quick, so gave it my

all in the last hundred. Next time I will just keep progressing.

Hopefully not on the door of 1.44 soon enough. It's a breakthrough and

I will be back here next month. I'm over the moon. Maybe a bit quicker,

but it's a huge lifetime best. I'm absolutely delighted. You are part

of the record contingent from Scotland. We wish you well for

London. I just want to say to my coach, Henry Gray, he's really

believed in me in the last few years. There have been ups and downs

and he stuck with me. And my little brother has been my pacemaker the

whole year. Thank you so much. It's kind of cleared up some things, that

race. We know Guy Learmonth and Elliot Giles definitely take the

first two places because they were first and second but it leaves a

selectors' headache. It's a selectors' nightmare. It's great for

men's 800 metre running in Great Britain, four personal bests in that

race. Elliot Giles, it's great for Guy Learmonth to pass the selector,

but he was the last British racer across the line. The selectors have

to pick from the youngster Kyle Langford coming through, who is

scarily good but very erratic, and Andrew Osagie. It's the quickest men

in the stadium today at the AA Anniversary Games who will be going

next. We can cost a Steve Cram with news from the start line.

COMMENTATOR: He will be wanting to show that the third spot should be

his. Rhys Prescott was a surprise winner. James Dasaolu is here. CJ

Ujah was very fast in the semifinal of the British Championships but

didn't run. Adam Gemili is sitting in the wings. Who can take this and

push their case here? James Dasaolu, quietly went about his business at

the trials. I think he thought he would win but Prescott came through

late. James Dasaolu is in the team. We have Beejay Lee, don't know too

much about him, a new American name. Unlike Kim Collins, 41, who has been

around for a long time. World champion of 2003 and still running

fast. A very popular man. Richard Kilty, illness meant he missed a few

weeks at an important part of the season but wants to stake a claim

for a place in the relay squad. Harry was third at the championships

himself individually. Again, an event where plenty of qualifiers,

James Dasaolu, Prescott, they got their spots. CJ Ujah, who to be fair

is having a very good year, very consistent on the Diamond League

circuit as well. Pretty impressive in Rome. Second in the Oslo Diamond

League. This is not a Diamond League event here. But he will want to win

this, to be fair, CJ. He's in lane four.

Well... Joel Fearon? We didn't mention him at the start. Had a

cracking year last year. He will be the least disappointed not to make

the team because he has other things to think about, the Winter Olympics

coming up. He's part of the Bobsleigh squad. Colin, what about

this, is it the far side? I couldn't see it. Kim Collins was rocking and

rolling, not stable in the box in lane eight. Interesting to see what

they say. Beejay Lee is just having a word with one of the starters

marksmen. Being gas to get back quickly. At the moment there is no

indication there will be a disqualification. But the Burchfield

harrier, Joel Fearon, fifth that the British Championships, looking a

little sheepish. If it's not a false start, we will see if we can get on

with this. Just waiting to see. Which colour? I am teasing you a

little bit, it will be the black and red will stop here we go. Colin is

laughing. It's the card of doom, really. It is, but I think he knew

anyway. Joel Fearon has already walked off. We have the American

Brandon Carr is in round two. Then Harry and CJ Ujah, the British

athletes. Isiah Young, James Tisolo, Beejay Lee, Kim Collins and Richard

Kilty in his first race back. Harry gets out pretty well. CJ Ujah.

Brandon Carr on the far side was quickest. It's going to be CJ. He

gets it from James Dasaolu. That might be enough. You suspect that's

just a continuation of the season for him. Consistent around the ten

second mark. Would look to get sub ten with the wind slightly

following, but good, solid, consistent 100 metre running from

this man. We are not the selectors, but it makes it difficult for them

to look anywhere else. I would say not to look further than this young

man. He's had an exceptional year. Sometimes we get carried away with

times. We think people should be under the ten second barrier, but

ultimately the most important thing is to come to these big races and

take the victories. And if you can win on the Diamond League circuit,

people start to know your name. They recognise your performances, and

they fear you. CJ is coming here, running consistently around the ten

second mark. And he's taking the victories. Those are by far the most

important things. It's nice to see him return from that little problem

he had at the trials. He has put that behind him and I would say

fingers crossed that's more than enough to impress the selectors.

Harry faded a bit. James Dasaolu coming through strongly at the end.

Good enough for second. He's running pretty consistently as well. I think

you will be pretty happy with that performance. 10.06 coming up for

him, a season's best. CJ coming through with another win of a good

opposition and confirming his very good form. Just outside ten seconds.

We will confirm the result... 10.02 equals his season's best. Harry in

fourth. Richard Kilty on his comeback in seventh. Equalling the

season 's best and taking the victory. No doubt you are heading to

the World Championships. Hopefully, we will have to see. It was a nice

race. Unfortunately I didn't get to race in the final. I would love to

have raced in Birmingham. You were really disappointed not to be able

to do that final. I was in fine shape. I wanted to come out there

and hopefully grab a personal best. But there are bigger things that I

can move towards. Last year you wanted to push hard in the semi. It

replicates what you need to do in the World Championships. I have been

running fast every round out this year. You need to do that. That's

what we are getting in place and hopefully I can do it at the World

Championships. It's showing. Every time you come out you hit your

stride and get consistently fast times. He will go under ten again

soon. Definitely. I didn't get a good start, but with a bit more

sharpness in a few weeks. Very well done today CJ. We look forward to

the World Championships. A second attempt in the high jump.

Comfortable clearance, one of the most dominant, as we were saying

earlier, looking for another victory here. Unbeaten through the year.

Good clearance at 1.97 to take her into the lead with daylight to

spare. As you would expect when you jump two metres and six centimetres,

fifth on the world all-time rankings. First round of the long

jump for Spanovic of Serbia. Round one. Just shy of the seven-metre

line. A little frown on her face. Is she OK? We saw her put together an

amazing series at the European indoor Championships. Limping away

from the first round, Spanovic. We will have a look at this. Tony, I

don't know what to make of it. It's a long effort, but clearly not

comfortable. We are seeing that from her expression as she comes out

limping, holding herself down, possibly a problem with her ankle.

Maybe that's why we haven't seen eight great deal of her this season.

Still a season's best. We hope she's OK. Vashti Cunningham of the United

States looking to go clear. Last chance, and does. Good high jump

competition brewing up with the two main contenders going head to head

now. Lasitskene and Vashti Cunningham. 19 years of age, third

time of asking, showing competitive mettle. Good clearance at 1.97.

Morgan Lake went out at 1.90. A solid week.

These will be the athletes contending for medals at the world

Championships. Over to the javelin. Sara Kolak was the surprise Olympic

champion. She is over 65 metres comfortably. She has had a good

week. She had a personal best in Switzerland a few days ago. 68.43.

Her left foot strikes down hard on solid. The Olympic champion has

found a groove. Good timing after her surprise when last year, putting

together a textbook season. Timing her run into the World Championships

perfectly. That is close to 70 metres. Waiting for this distance to

come up. It is 67.83. It takes the lead. Jazmin Sawyers in the long

jump. Into the third roundabout. For best so far of 6.39. That is in last

place. She needs lots more. She looked to be laboured on the

approach. Not quite comfortable. It is kind of the way that she jumps.

She comes in that pays. As soon as hush shin becomes vertical, she

becomes vertical. She goes up and drops short. She needs to have a

flat take-off and to carry her speed. 6.44. The final of the

women's 100-metre hurdles. This is an example of the strength of depth

of the Americans. There are six Americans in the final. That is Miya

Ali. Silver-medallist last year at in Brazil. Sally Pearson. Gold here

five years ago. She has had injuries over the last couple of years. She

had a terrible fall in Rome where she injured her wrist. And then

hamstring problems. Kendra Harrison took the world record of the

Bulgarian but missed out on the World Championships. Jasmin Stowers

was just eighth in the US Championships and she missed out on

the Olympics as well. Christina Manning, third in the US trials. She

will be heard any few weeks' time. But Sharika Nelvis will not. 12.53

this season as her best time. The Dane Vilas from the Netherlands. She

has got heptathlon experience. -- Nadine Visser. For her to make the

final was something of an achievement here. Six Americans, one

that Norwegian, the Australian Sally Pearson and Nadine Broersen from the

Netherlands. Harrison was in lean six when she

set the world record last year. How fast can Harrison go is the

question here. Sally Pearson, what a run. Dragging

that out from her memories of days gone by. That was Sally Pearson not

quite back to her very best but what a run from the Australian to give

Harrison quite a raise. Kendra Harrison is the winner again. 12.39,

she will be the woman to beat at the World Championships. Great race.

Looking down on the track, that is Jasmin Stowers who crashed into the

barriers at the back end of the race. These women run so quickly, it

is unforgiving, you just have to clip it and that throws you

sideways. Sally has sprinted quite nicely already, 11.25, this year.

She lost some of her technical ability at the back end of the grace

which makes a big difference in terms of performance. That was a 12

point four performance from Sally Pearson. Harrison clattered one of

the barriers in the middle of the race. She battled to get back into

it. She could feel the presence of Sally Pearson but would not get --

let's Sally get past a shoulder. Harrison ran smoothly. Great run

from Sally Pearson. Harrison clattered into that barrier. She

dropped off the side of the hurdle. She still maintained her poise and

belief that she can get back into the race. Focus again and

concentrate. That was an ugly way for Jasmin Stowers to finish and she

smashed into the floor. That was a terrible fall. Harrelson taking the

victory ahead of the season 's best for Sally Pearson. Sally told me

that she has to -- often catch a flight. Congratulations on this

return to form for you. I cannot believe it. I knew I was in good

shape when I ran 11.2 if you weeks ago in the 100 metres. I was trying

to get my rhythm right. Kendra Harrison has done amazing things.

And she has put the belief back into our bed for the females. I am

excited that I have been able to prove to myself watch it I am in.

And you have a chance to get back here for the World Championships,

the place where you won the gold medal for Australia. England is

special for me. Not just because of the Olympics but I am welcome, my

family is here and they get to see me run. I am just so happy. You

deserve to be happy. Go catch your flight. Thank you to Sally. She was

very generous to you. She is a great inspiration for you, you are taking

the sport to new heights? She pushed me as much as I pushed her. I hit a

few barriers. I could feel her next to me so we both gave all we had.

What is it like to be in the place where you set the world record and

you have 121 in a row since then. I am blessed to be back. To have an

injury one month ago and to be on such a fast track. And about in such

great plans. I am so excited, my second World Championships. I am

going to give everything I have. Good luck for the World

Championships. COMMENTATOR: Good win for Kendra Harrison. Good news but

that -- Jasmin Stowers after that fall at the last barrier is OK.

Mariya Lasitskene, the Russian, she has one file at this height of two

metres. She has got it. The only athlete in this field of a lifetime

best higher than two metres. She has cleared two metres in 20

competitions. No other athlete has done that hate this year. She

continues her dominance. That secures the victory and another

diamond lead when four Mariya Lasitskene. She is competing as a

neutral athlete. She was cleared by the IAAF to compete this year.

Vashti Cunningham for a lifetime best by one centimetre. She got too

close to the bar and had no space. She hands of the victory to Mariya

Lasitskene. She has a poker as ever. That is her celebrating. Cunningham

in second place, 1.97, she is rounding into good shape as well.

Last round of the javelin. The lead for the Olympic champion, Sara

Kolak. The previous Olympic champion in the last round has really let

loose. That is a big role. She knows it. She is appreciative of some

support here, Barbaro spor tag of, champion here five years ago. --

Barbara spor took over. That is how to do it. She has a six feet, two

inches frame. 72.28, not quite out to that distance. It is a confidence

booster going into the World Championships. 68.2 six. She takes

the lead. Back to this long jump competition. We saw a Ivana Spanovic

retire, she was frowning. Johnson-Thompson had 6.61 and a and

then she had two Phil attempts. She was far beyond the board. She is

only long jumping this afternoon after the sprint hurdles. Fourth

round for Johnson-Thompson. Again the undercarriage coming down early.

I think so. She did not really have the speed. Following two fouls,

where she struggled with the runway, she is getting back on the board.

She still has 20 centimetres to spare and that would relate to 60

points in the heptathlon. It is about getting the run we acted it.

This is a good points scoring event for Johnson-Thompson. This and the

high jump. 6.47, just behind her first effort. 6.61 is her best

effort so far. GABBY: this is to update June that

Jasmin Stowers did get up and walked off the track. She took a nasty fall

and that 100 metre hurdles race. She looked like she had given herself a

nasty hit to the head. I am sure the medical team are checking over but

it is great to see her walking off. Let us get down to the track. We

have the men's 110 metre hurdles final. COMMENTATOR:. A Leighs Mallet

is a very popular figure. -- Aries Merritt. Devon Allen, twice the US

collegiate champion. Jihadi false start in Paris in the diamond lead.

He was disqualified. -- he had a false start. David Aldridge takes

the applause of the crowd. Shane Brathwaite of the -- of Barbados.

And Jarret Eaton of the United States. There are some absentees.

The US champion did not make it through. You're missing McLeod.

Otago as well. The field is weakened. It is a chance for David

Domej is to show what he can do. Aries Merritt not quite back to his

best. The best that he had in 2012, he was outstanding.

13.11. Aries Merritt looking good. He knows he has run quicker in the

past but it is good to see him winning again and smiling again. He

will challenge at the World Championships. There are some big

names messing. 13.09, it was rounded down. He will be a contender in the

World Championships. He knows how to win. This was the

home of his victory at the Olympics. Flawless performance from him. All

Aries Merritt needs to do is concentrate in that final when it

comes to the World Championships, because he makes very little mistake

is. When it comes to the backend of the race on the pressure is on, if

you can keep your technique solid, you will have a good opportunity.

Again, the first barrier was the undoing of David Omoregie. From then

on he was chasing the race. Far too much to do. He will be disappointed

with that. He would love to be in a race like this and be competitive.

He has the capability and talent. Smashed the first hurdle and tipped

him all over the shop. He spent his whole time recovering instead of

focusing on the barriers he was going to approach next. A complete

contrast to Aries Merritt, who was flawless in his performance. David

Omoregie looking elsewhere. There is the result, Aries Merritt with a

season's best to take the victory. This must conjure up so many

fantastic memories every time you step on this track. Of course it

does, I won Olympic gold in 2012 here. I couldn't be more thankful to

be running here at this time. You picked in 2012. You've had more than

your ups and downs on the way back. Only a couple of years since major

surgery. Here you are with a major contender for gold. There are a lot

of great athletes out there now. Me running in 12.80 has raised the

standards. A lot more people are running 12 and 13.0, but I'm really

confident in my training and we are picking at the right time. We will

have six weeks of speed work by the time we come back for the World

Championships. We will see if Omar McLeod is back for Jamaica. He's had

an injury problem that should be fine. Do you see it as the two of

you going head to head? Of course, he's an amazing athlete and very

fast on the flat. He's switched coaches, working on his technique.

He will be a major contender, as is everybody else. Andrea Pozzi is

running fast, Lee Valley of Jamaica is running fast. -- Levi of Jamaica.

Next up on the track is the women's mile. Laura Muir is going for a

British record that is held by Zola Budd. The 1500 metre record holder,

got that from Kelly Holmes last year. European indoor 3,000-metre

record holder. Can she get this today in preparation for the Worlds,

Paula? She's definitely capable of it. She will undoubtedly have

watched Dibaba run quick plastic. That would be in her sights as well.

But she has Jenny Meadows pacemaking. Laura doesn't really

need a pacemaker, she is capable of pushing herself hard on her own, but

she has Jenny there. Watch out for Jenny Simpson and Kate Grace as

well. She ran a quick 800 metres in the week. Talking about doubling up

in London. But with the 1500. Yes. This promises to be competitive with

Jenny Simpson in there looking for a US mile record as well perhaps.

Steve Cram. COMMENTATOR: There might be a few national records because

the mile isn't run that often these days. I might be right thinking

Paula was in the race when the record was broken. I hope I'm right.

Laura Muir has it. The stage is set, certainly from a British

perspective. I think Hellen Obiri, the Kenyan in good form, she will be

the one to watch. She is a very good 1500 metre runner and in good form

this year, Olympic silver-medallist at the 5000. The race is set up for

Laura Muir. In Lausanne, Dibaba wanted to go out really hard and

Laura Muir panicked about what she wanted to do. I think she wants to

come home strong and go out more sensible. The record held by Zola

Budd, 4.17, point 57. Not many women running under 4.20, so it would be a

really good record. Anything in the 4.16 range would break the British

record and that would be a good performance from Laura Muir. Given

the 800-metre time she had the other day, she must be full of confidence.

An injury scare after running in Eugene and having a couple of weeks

off. But came fully back into training. Didn't have to hang around

to pick up. We saw evidence that the other night. Laura Muir set to go

with a host of other British athletes. Laura Weightman guaranteed

her spot and Jessica Judd also in the team. One other spot is

available. Sarah McDonald has decided not to come to this. She was

third at the British Championships. We have an embarrassment of those

doing qualifying times, including Melissa Courtney and Kate Snowden.

They will hope they can do something special following Laura Muir. Laura

Muir pre-selected as the Diamond League champion. And what a

reception for Laura Muir. Fast becoming a big star of British

athletics. Jess Judd and Laura Weightman joining her in the team.

Helen O'Meara E will be there as well, the Olympic silver-medallist

at 5000 metres. -- Hellen Obiri. The former world champion Jenny Simpson,

she ran so well in Rio to come away with bronze. Laura Muir and Laura

Weightman both in that final. Katie Snowden wanting to go out quicker if

she can. It's a mile, not 1500 metres, but the 1500 metre time will

be taken. There is a photo finish cell 90 metres from the finishing

line up the home straight. Here we go with the mile. Laura Muir going

for the British record. Deep breath...

It's rarely run these days for the women, but Jenny Meadows knows what

she's doing. Laura Muir will not hang around, slotting in straight

behind. We expect a decent pace, Brendan, nice and even, that's

what's required. And they're looking for a strong performance from Laura

in the last 500 metres. Jenny Meadows knows what to do, and Laura

Muir knows what she wants to do, getting right behind her, get in her

slipstream and get as close as she possibly can. Getting to an even

pace, a hard run race. Right behind her you have the strength of Kenya

and then Laura Weightman and Jess Judd. All be protagonists, the

athletes you mentioned, apart from Jenny Simpson, laying it down. This

is a record attempt. Hellen Obiri is following Laura Muir, that's the

right place for her to be. Her strength will tell in the later

stages. You have to have yards, the old imperial measurements. It's a

tad quicker than what was asked. You can see why the rest of the field

were just behind. Jenny just going a little bit quick. 62.3 for the first

400 metres. Laura Muir looking strong, but she must have been

really excited the other night. She said she wanted to run a two minute

800 metres and ran 1.58 and in the process she beat a fellow

Scotswoman. Lynsey Sharp. That will give her confidence. Looking at the

range of her performances, under two minutes at the 800, under four

minutes for the 1500. No British athlete has ever run strength over

that range, 800 to 5000, she could be the new superstar of British

athletics. She has a few more weeks of training to prove it and get

ready. Laura Muir following Jenny Meadows, who will probably step off

shortly. Hellen Obiri has not been more than half a metre behind. Peter

Grace has moved into third. Laura Weightman up to fourth. Garcia is

also moving up. They slowed down on the second lap, so I think Laura
