Alan Webb's 1500 in Paris

these men with three and three-quarter laps ahead of them they've gone up quickly but it needs to be 55 seconds of 400 meters not 54 not 56 Allenwood up to the job seemingly deserve fresh 800 meters personal challenge this morning one date last week much-needed improvement on his 800 meter personal best that was three years old luggage back in about fourth place fifth place at the moment when it is indeed the two pacemakers I look on the shoulder of the ligand and lag at was walking around the hotel with the newspaper article written by Barlow said he couldn't finish he wasn't ranting he said I am going to prove to him that I can finish we shall see but Paula in front of his home crowd is a real real talent too at 400 meters absolutely spot-on kill him on Kirito what a good job he's done because most of the feeling will come through the main protagonist around 55.5 he continues to lead down the backstraight 500 meters god full of fun in second alan the way looked very much up for the task he's in third place at the moment the little American who was such a huge talent still only 24 years old can tackle a couple of weeks ago remember he's the ladder at 17 broke gym rhymes legendary high school record that had stood for 36 years old from Isle 353 he ran as a high school student see motto of Kenya is 26 now 331 98 this season didn't do so well in Oslo he was a thin that mile but looks good on time he could be there and he's in contention at the moment parlors there so his leg gap following ballin out 150 to 800 meters 152 28 that's that 57 point forward slip slightly better shape now full of fun takes the lead he surely will push on having seen the 800-meter time being down a bit it's full of fun from where from cemaat whoa and like beginning to lose a bit of grass the gap is appearing there and I'm surprised that so early on Bernhard Leggett who's a sub 13-minute 5000 meter man has enormous strength has allowed that to go so into the straight end to the penultimate chairman it's still brought up and as we come down towards the bell bala plug at leaving the chasing pack for there's a 67 me to go to the Bell Bradley's through the Bell from Meili Paulo the paces that tried to ever the last 400 meters so what go in third place can he cause a surprise big big gap back to be chasing part of this trio come through 12 to 49.3 it's a couple of seconds of what they wanted but it is still quick third lap now bother cuts loose baller kicks on always see look so relaxed his maybe Barlow and he's going flat out and Alan Webb is tugging his heels kind of way to say that the American this should give famous victories you can Frenchman and basin the funds just by its his time there does Alan Webb psychologically so much easier to be on the shoulder with somebody but down the homestretch grants athletes max out Fowler hasn't got the strength the legs are going where his pumping arm in his arms and he's gonna get there Alan marvelous win for Alan Webb they're three thirty point five five for Webb Pajaro his people the crowd drops to almost complete silence here in the stud to France fifty five point six that second lap and that for Alan Webb is one of the biggest victories of his career fantastic race to boot Stewart for the American champion things really really have gone sweetly this evening well he was always in the right place at the right time wasn't he saw ball ago he had tagged on to Bala and Bala set a magnificent pace that suited him brilliantly and of course at this stage he must have thought to himself okay I've got a little bit of extra you can see the tension in barlas face now the grimace on his face as the American comes past him a very very good run three times the American champion this man but this is his finest victory he beats a man who really is one of the Great's of middle distance running in Europe that's a terrific run well best time to as well for Webb 330 and that is a sensational 330 point five five we'll get the official time shortly but Bala struggled in the end and Webb took it and what a good win well for me the race of the night this one the 1500 meets our and Webb winning in three thirty point five for the fastest time in the world over
