00:00Munich in his Adolphe Cowba goes in lane 6.
00:03He's at college in the USA, best of 48.32 this year.
00:07Then Doreen Richards lives in Boston, Spain, coached by Blaine Wiley.
00:14Lovely fella too, Doreen Richards, 44.6 in his last race.
00:17He was fourth in the London Diamond League just a week or so ago.
00:20Brodie Young from Scotland goes in lane 4.
00:23It's a big role for him, 45.24 this year.
00:27Great relay runner, looking under 23 bronze medalist last year.
00:32Kumaragi, Kalinga Kumaragi on Sri Lanka goes in lane 3, 45.4 this year.
00:38Good athlete, lane 3 for him and Kyle Gayle on Barbados.
00:42He said the season's best in his last race, 46.6, goes in lane 2.
00:48So Brodie Young from Christen in Scotland.
00:56Started in 2022, University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
01:04Runs for Airdrie Harriers.
01:06There'll be plenty of his teammates in the arena watching this, I'm sure.
01:10The fifth heat of six in the men's 400 metres.
01:13The outstanding favourite here, Doreen Richards of Trinidad and Tobago.
01:16He goes in lane 5 in the dark strip.
01:19Strong favourite.
01:21Set.
01:24He's a great 200 metre performer as well as Doreen Richards.
01:27He's run a long way under 20 seconds for 200.
01:29He's absolutely blasted past Papi Uruguini's.
01:33Kauber there, he's third from left.
01:35He's up shortly to be second to left.
01:37Well, now he's third to left.
01:39We've changed the camera angle, but he's chasing hard.
01:41The St. Lucia athlete, Kampile in lane 7.
01:44Doreen Richards really has hit it hard.
01:46He's up his first 200, going well inside him is Brodie Young with a strength of Scotland behind him.
01:51Richards now cruising around the bed.
01:53He's just settled in the cruise mode there, having done loads of work over the first 200.
01:57Comes into the straight, looks quite comfortable there.
02:00Brodie Young working hard in third place in the blue of Scotland.
02:03Just inside him in lane 3 is Kumaragi.
02:06Of Sri Lanka, going to be a comfortable win for Richards there.
02:09Cross the line, 45-73.
02:11Kumaragi second and Brodie Young in third place in that penultimate heat in the men's 400 metres.
02:20No problems at all there, barring any unfortunate disqualification.
02:24We have had a couple already this morning, but that was heat five.
02:31And waiting for that time to come through.
02:36Kumaragi, nice run from him, the 33-year-old.
02:39Been around the block, plenty of experience.
02:41The semi-finalist four years ago in Birmingham.
02:45And he's probably into the semis now with that run.
02:47That was a great run by Kumaragi, a very, very brave run from lane 3.
02:53But Dwayne Richards, he didn't really have anyone to challenge him in this heat.
02:56So it was actually going to be all about him and what he was going to do.
03:00And what he did, he just got out beautifully and ran a very, very strong race.
03:07Brodie Young did the best he could to hang on to him down the back straight.
03:12And then obviously into these closing home straight images.
03:15But we see, we just see here now Brodie Young just really, really digging deep to try and hang on
03:21to Kumaragi.
03:22To just drag him through to as fast as possible time that he could.
03:25But Jerome Richards looked absolutely fantastic, the Trinidad and Tobago athlete in this fifth 400 metre heat.
03:34Yeah, he is a classy performer, Richards.
03:37One of the strong favourites for a medal.
