00:00you can see he knows it's there Hannah it's not far away and the fatigue as well he has judged
00:05not
00:05just the disappointment of failing that bar it's the energy that it took and you see the frustration
00:09as he threw the bar away because it is possible for Carolis to take some recovery now as we head
00:16over for a women's 1500 meters of impatiently waiting I wonder if they were aware what they
00:21were waiting for they were totally focused down the track pair of pacemakers on the outside of
00:26other belt and parks targeting 3.54 which would be a new world lead Claudia Kazemierska took a brilliant
00:34silver very good tactical run in Birmingham she's got the speed and the tactics Kazemierska I wonder
00:39if she could have the Polish record by the end of this race as well Jess Hull two silvers at
00:44the
00:44Commonwealth Games she took a win before that at the London Diamond League and Berke Haileau the 20
00:49year old holds the world leading mark at 3.55.56 she loves to run hard in the middle section
00:55of the race
00:56interesting to see Daguma back with another 1500 hilts in good form and a lot of these
01:02athletes played a big part in the European Championships and in the Commonwealth Games
01:05there's bronze for Billings in the 800 meters you'll see Sinclair Johnson back on the start
01:10line after injuries has disrupted some of her year this board here I'm loving this very useful for
01:17spectators and viewers holding up those important marks there the target of 3.54 and then a Polish record as
01:23well but I think Kazemierska will hope to hit the big field here 15 racers two pacemakers three and
01:35three-quarter laps of the track
01:41the furious race to get to the front of this package so we'll see who wants to hit a fast
01:46pace who wants to
01:46settle in and rely on their sprint finish Kazemierska looks like she's up for it here Emily McKay as well
01:53the American slotting in behind Kazemierska for me when I look at McKay and Jess Hull I think they're
01:59athletes that are waiting for a fast race like this they're showing good strength over the longer
02:04distances Kazemierska just off the pacemakers here I think that's smart I think going out at 3.54 pace
02:11could be dangerous for the Polish women and that could be Dorcas Iwoy just need a puma kit there just
02:17in second place uh taking a long break from competition the silver medalist from the world
02:21champs she's been training altitude for the last seven weeks or so and she doesn't go past Kazemierska
02:26they leave the home home woman out there to take all the applause yeah easy to get carried away isn't
02:32it if you're the home athlete billaged on by the crowd there's a long way to go
02:35so 3.54 that would be a new world lead 3.55 Bianca Heilong who is the clear favorite
02:42to win this race but she has in the past shown that she can be a little bit erratic technically
02:47and look at that she nearly went goodness me just as we were talking about the athlete who's the clear
02:51favorite she just about manages to stay on her feet I think she was clipped from behind by Emily McKay
02:56and that's what happens when you get these big groups and you're trying to relax in this phase of
03:00the race and I think that can sometimes lead people to positions themselves wrongly Jess Hull had to stay
03:05nimble to avoid Highland and she stumbled out they're in single file here the pacemakers are
03:11sticking to that 3.54 pace Kazemierska behind is on a quick pace but I think if she wants to
03:17attack
03:18the 3.57 Polish record she's going to need help from the other athletes here
03:26striding out nicely and the pacemakers are just about on the wave lights the pack behind chasing Kazemierska
03:33followed by Iwoi McKay Highland who nearly took a tumble there has regained her composure and looks
03:40settled again in the race and I think the red lights there were set on Polish national record pace so
03:45okay
03:45Kazemierska is ahead of those lights at the moment as they go through 800 meters 205 for Ibarthabel
03:52here maybe more like 206 for Kazemierska and the racers and what I think is interesting here when
03:57you look down the field the likes of Jess Hull or perhaps Hilts they might not realize they're slightly
04:02off the pace at the front of the group isn't moving as fast as it as was anticipated Ibarthabel doing
04:08a
04:08great job just to pull the racers back towards that 3.54 pace and this is a brave heroic effort
04:17from
04:17Claudia Kazemierska she's had some fast times this season at 1.58 at 3.59 she's done 3.57 in
04:25the
04:25world championships last year she's very much the Polish number one and this woman used to be Sofia
04:30Anawi will be loving this race here enjoying ringing the ring of the bell for the athletes
04:36as they flow through at 2.54 2.55 good job from Sofia Anawi good job from Claudia Kazemierska she'd
04:43love to
04:44see a Polish victory today as would 40 000 people here Kazemierska stretching them out down the back
04:49straight for the final time Iwoi then up on the shoulder it was perhaps a surprise silver for Dorcas Iwoi
04:55in
04:55Tokyo last year but she's backed it up with some good season performances this season and here comes
05:01Jess Hull the Australian has been patient throughout this race she's tracking Dorcas Iwoi there's been
05:07many races in the last 18 months where Jess Hull has taken it on and pushed the pace and then
05:11been
05:11vulnerable in the last 50. Today the Australian is trying to take this from behind Dorcas Iwoi is going
05:17to come into the home straight with a small lead and the kick is on from the Australian Jess Hull
05:22digging deep
05:23a good run from Sigurd Daguma she's going to come up alongside Jess Hull is she just before the finish
05:29line
05:29Hull and Daguma Daguma in the closing stages snatches the win from Jess Hull 355 07 a world leading mark
05:39for the silver medalist over 800 meters for the Olympic Games it's been so interesting watching Daguma have a go
05:47at this event
05:48the brilliant finisher at 355 over at the start of the season in Shanghai when I think she played it
05:54safe
05:54and similar today from Daguma a devastating last 80 coming from nowhere but Jess Hull so nearly pulled that off
06:02and the cheer you can hear from the crowd is because Claudia Casamista has been rewarded for that front running
06:09effort look fourth place 359 55 59 a huge national record by a second and a half or so brilliant
06:18brilliant
06:18on all counts what a thrilling race the closest track race we've seen of the afternoon so far Daguma came
06:24from nowhere by my calculation that's only her fourth ever 1500 meter race as you say 800 her preferred
06:33distance disappointing from Nikki Hiltz great things were expected of them after the second Diamond
06:41League victory earlier this year but their confirmation Kazimierzka with the Polish record
06:46Sofia Anawi it was all about the bell wasn't it in the end she did it all Sofia Anawi the
06:52way she rang
06:53that bell but obviously from Kazimierzka I love her tactics this season and she threw them all out the
06:59window just ran hard you can see here the clash between Mackay and Highland Highland did uh keep
07:04both shoes and it's just a misunderstanding now I think Mackay was running on the inside Highland
07:09probably didn't sense her there we're just looking here at the closing 250 or so Kazimierzka I think
07:16would have been blinkers on you know knowing she was ahead of those red wave lights just willing
07:20herself towards the finish line and Jess Hull was so patient here uh but unfortunately still didn't quite
07:27have enough for the win I'm surprised actually because Jess Hull for much of this season had just
07:31been lacking that sharpness we were talking about it with our Australian colleagues in Glasgow and it
07:36looked as though she'd done enough but look how quickly Daguma was closing that 800 meter speed
07:42counting richly for Daguma the Ethiopian and that for somebody who's still learning the event that is
07:52impressive and once again poor old Jess Hull gets picked on the line it's not the first time
07:58you
