Intro:
Reaction after Diamond League's Weltklasse Zurich.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) 100 metre winner Usain Bolt
"I wouldn't say happy but I won so that's good. It wasn't a perfect race (unintelligible) so I'm just happy with that."
SOUNDBITE: (English) 100 metre winner Usain Bolt
"It was different. I thought I had more power in the legs but it wasn't there when I asked for it but, as I said, the key thing is to come out here and win. It's been a long season. We've been running a lot, a lot around the world championships, I was injured in the early part of the season so the fact that I can finish the season now and do so well, I'm happy."
SOUNDBITE: (English) 100 metre winner Usain Bolt (about the weather)
"No, the weather was alright. I've run in worse than this. It was slightly chilly but that's how it is."
SOUNDBITE: (English) 110-meter hurdles winner David Oliver
"I feel great. Going out here to win the Diamond league was one of my main objectives this year. I was able to accomplish that so definitely can't complain."
SOUNDBITE: (English) 400 metres winner LaShawn Merritt
"I'm ready to go home. It's late in the season. mentally I had to tell myself 'get here and go to work, this is what I do.'
SOUNDBITE: (English) 800 metres winner Nick Symmonds
"Yes I am very pleased with it. You know, it's very rare that I go with the rabbit but I haven't raced that much this year yet so I wanted to try something new and I was rewarded with a fast time so.."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Winner of the women's 5000 metres Meseret Defar
"I am so happy for my victory because after the world championships I ran the heat and final the last time in Stockholm I ran. After that I am coming back home. I am a little bit tired, my body exhausted. I am scared to come here because my body is very tired but I am coming in the outside and I am successful, I am so happy."
