00:00I think the lane draft thing is good. It's exciting. I was just sitting here thinking I've never ran out
00:06of lane A. I'll definitely go lane A. See who can catch me.
00:11Oh, he said see who can catch me. He said I'm going to mess y'all all the way up.
00:15Mess your psyche up.
00:17The lanes were drawn by the athletes themselves bringing a fresh feel to the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship.
00:24Past legends and current ones are all involved. The biggest draw though is the prize money of over $10 million
00:31with each individual winner pocketing $150,000.
00:35There are no medals at this event, just a trophy for the winner. However, the first trophy came in a
00:41team event in the mix 4x100 relay.
00:55A tight battle all the way to a line is won by the United States, 39-64.
01:02Despite mourning the death of a relative, Italy's Larissa Iappaquino took the women's long jump title.
01:08Jacoby Taup won the men's 110 hurdles by the narrowest of margins.
01:12Everybody's been gunning for him all season long. Oh, look at that. And he just got the dip. That's a

01:22Maasai Russell crowned perfection with victory in the women's 100 hurdles.
01:27That, that.
01:30It is a better start for Maasai Russell. Not as good as Devon Charlton but she is one of the
01:34best starters in the world. Charlton leading at the moment.
01:38Devon Charlton just clips a few hurdles and here comes Maasai Russell. Unstoppable. 12-22.
01:46And the goat of the pole vault, Mondo the Plantis almost had the perfect opening night.
01:50His own song is playing. Everyone's watching. Even Falk, even Lyles.
01:59He sees gold in his people.
02:02His only failure was adding another world record but he delivered where it mattered, winning an ultimate champion title.
02:09This, to go into the lead once more.
02:14Oh, yes.
02:16Brian Starr.
02:18He hasn't put a foot wrong tonight.
