Lausanne Grand Prix
The Grand Prix circuit moves on to Switzerland for the prestigious Lausanne meeting, which traditionally attracts the top names in athletics. A year ago, Britain's Linford Christie was beaten in the 100m by Nigerian sprinter
Olapade Adeniken. Christie, who went on to gain revenge in the Olympic final in Barcelona, is expected to compete in a re-match tonight. Colin Jackson hopes to prove once again that he is the world's No 1 sprint hurdler, aiming to gain a psychological boost over his friend and training partner Mark McKoy , the Olympic champion, before next month's World Championships in Stuttgart. Sally Gunnell, the Olympic women's 400m hurdles gold medallist, is set to compete in that event tonight, while Yvonne Murray hopes to sharpen up for the World
Championships with a middle distance outing. Other star names hoping to be in action are Namibian sprinter
Frankie Fredericks , American 100m specialist Dennis Mitchell and Olympic long-jump champion Heike Drechsler - all of whom have Grand Prix victories to their credit this season.
Introduced by Helen Rollason with Brendan Foster.

A Celador production for BBCtv
A second showing for Tony Marchant's three-part drama, being screened on consecutive nights.
Starring Sue Johnston, Alun Armstrong
Johnston's portrayal of a woman coming to terms with a devastating illness made the serial one of the most acclaimed programmes of 1992. She won the Radio Times Award for Drama Performance of the Year, while the series was named Best Drama Serial of 1992 by the Royal Television Society and won a Prix Europa for television mini-series of the year. "I'd only recently left Brookside, and I was working in theatre worrying about how I was going to re-establish myself on TV," says Johnston. "As soon as the script for Goodbye Cruel World arrived I longed to get it. It's exactly the kind of part I like doing."
