a wonder night because my dream comes true it's a big gamble to believe given that it will but it's made you know in the future with it so the ground to become a monk to get a bit pregnant and the third. burn baby and then to try to come back again in the sport. who want isn't vive a still eyes another world record before retiring at the end of the season a couple of russian banks have already told his long jump alex on the man called posted and leap of eight metres and fifty six centimeters and then pick champion back on it he sank up once again prevailed in the women's hamas with a throw of seventy eight meters eighty. and in the women's high jump of defending world and olympic champion amateur about to settle for bronze dispeller russians that lie on their shoulder not after tearing two meters in three centimeters want them to mean it. could for russia as they held off the usa to win the women's four by four hundred meters we made.

our european champions surrogate she then called the police the home crowd by becoming the first ever russian to win a medal in the one hundred ten meter hurdles the twenty two year old came in third putting defending champion jason richardson to the podium is two more americans david oliver and ryan wilson two gold and silver respectively but should be in goal was still over the moon and will be looking to take at least a second win in the remaining diamond league event this. is a real surprise to me but i've been treated like a champion like a real champion and they say every one of the graduates read this say congratulations with your win but when it doesn't matter you're the winner anyway because you get the medal the first ever medal rusher one in one hundred and hurdles. and world record holder you sign both completed the sprint double by winning the men's two hundred meters ahead of him patrick warring with for helping

jamaica win the four by one hundred mi to relate to make it goal number eight and become the most successful athlete in world championship history. far around the corner pretty hard argument to straight after fifteen years ago i started my life started you know having a memoir called said if you run into your next are going to be you don't want to push your body because when you get injured i don't want to get injured at this time of the season are a few maurice to go so. easy. and jamaica finished with six goals on a par with the united states in kenya off to shelley and fraser price also swept the wooden sprint events including running the anchor leg in the four by one hundred relay and the twenty six year old wants to coopt under ten point six in the one hundred metres this season and revealed for us before we get to success. part of why i am is the fact that i'm home and i believe that you know noting

should be taken for granted you know we get each day to work hard and to to do the best that you can do because i've always said that i don't run the fifteen hundred so it's not ten persons running me one when i'm the one in perth in my lane and i'm the only person i should be focused on because when i came here you know i decided that i was just going to focus on me you know the only person that can defeat me is me and if i start worrying about their own things then you're wrong things will happen and there was a perfect honeymoon for one you wed couple in moscow as american olympic champion and world record holder ashton eaton took gold in the decathlon before watching his wife rianne tyson the secure silver in the heptathlon for canada and says it was a nail biting experience. when you're in the stands you can see a lot of things that you can't necessarily see we are competing and all you want to do is go out there and do form but you stand to have to sit back and watching it's

really out of your control that's where your brain. doesn't you grab the right that's the seat was great to me. i think it's simply an inspiration watching him win every time every time because if i think i'm the opposite i'm more nervous than i compete because i know that he'll he's a competitor and that hell he's going to win but it was really cool watching him when i was actually laying in bed so it kind of got me fired up a little bit and i thought how am i going to ever fall asleep for my day tomorrow but there was it was really cool to see him win his first world championship gold medal. while in the women's of four hundred metres rushes anthony mccray the shock up also took bronze as britain's christina her again stole the show dipping botswana's a mantri moncho by four thousands of a second to reclaim the crown she won in a soca six years ago and the twenty nine year old britain says she also wants

a second olympic gold after enjoying her stay here in moscow. everything's been good it's much better i think it's going to be it's been fed a really good time here and most of the stadium is amazing i've never seen the moscow stadium before and it was i was really really impressed i definitely want to do rio so i'll make sure that i shall in the next few years for a cafe so that i'm in rio i'm i'm in a good position to go out and. run the championships. yeah yeah i did my best i did my best so that i think i'm finished. because sometimes. and after completing the long distance double in moscow britain's greatest athlete one fire up provided the inspiration for a local running club as the five thousand and ten thousand me to champion was on hand to wish good luck to those competing in a seven kilometer race around the capital's exhibition center some four thousand amateur around us took part looking to compare their results to those of fire and i

caught up with a double olympic champion to find out which of his gold medals was the hardest to win. not the three by far the five thousand was a lot harder been able to recover from the time doesn't come back again was it easier you know i had to work hard in the last lap but stephanie will be well worth it to you. as it is a good challenge and i'm looking forward to confine my finance my big step next step. first race the great new from the new take a break and then we come back to the longer mouth in which i'm going to debut which i'm looking forward to because i grew up in london not far from the same time you know that's that's where the biggest one of the biggest marriage happened so it would be if you could. start the future in anything in my opinion i think titles more important than records records or to the prototype that can never be taken away and that's how i see it. what we did and

over every didn't move but due to mobile. now over to boxing where russian light heavyweight said they covered the off stump the crowd in cardiff after knocking out local hero and previously unbeaten champion nathan cleverly in the fourth round while another russian is set for the fight night of his life as heavyweight alexander privette kin prepares to face the timea kitch coherent moscow in seven weeks time roberts for the neon has this preview. face to face like he made a great score and i like some that probably had given. to him only boxing match up many pundits have already. labeled the flight of the decade and certainly one of the most anticipated belts of the more than walks an era the ukrainian doctor still hammer who's done live the sport's most prestigious weight class for the last seven years and the russians night steadily winding his way up to the top of the mountain

going to lead you to some new i would say alexander prove it can has a lot in common with mike tyson in his prime same style of fighting constant pressure and drive i'm ready it will be a great fight and we can do. the actual swims well there are five or six ways to avoid his jabs and get inside that has to be done that's the key aspect of my preparation for this fight at the border but i know that there is seven year old cliché is the second longest reigning heavyweight champ and of all time just behind the great joe louis and undefeated in his last eighteen belts wild forward. younger but bad girl has never tasted defeat in his twenty six professional belts although there is more than just that this six that really matter why it's like this. sport books good skills great cardio and a perfect game plan all these things matter in the sport of boxing but mindset is

top of all of us if a fighter is only there to win if he can really do that and that's what i expect from a vet can. do is for you. but no doubt alexander is a very sensible fighter he really feels that when he can hit and hurt the opponent and becomes more aggressive he's a natural puncher who can finish a fight any time. but only on r.t. . and that's it for paul won but we'll be back after a quick break with no heavyweight action in football ice hockey and the latest on saatchi and go away. sigrid lover. was able to build a new. mission
