The coverage of the championships will be live on the BBC in the UK. Will anyone be watching it? Hopefully these championships will be remembered for the right reasons and stop all the controversy surrounding blood data.

We are just runners - there is no good runner or bad runner," "No one is trying to take over the world. No one is trying to blow up the world." No You're a drugs cheat, Gatlin. If he can run the quickest times this year. Why the hell did he take steroids in the first place?

Gatlin should have been thrown out for good when he was caught a second time. "There are not going to be medals passed out to everybody in the world. It is going to be passed out to one person, the champion." - Justin Gatlin. Oh yes, Justin, there are medals for more than one person...and yours will be silver.

And of course it would be awesome if Jess Ennis can take a medal too after having her baby. Mo is a don and hopefully he can win the double 5000/10,000M at the World Champs again for Team GB. Also looking forward to seeing newcomers like Dina Asher-Smith and Zharnel Hughes and how far they can go too. This post has been edited by PeaceMob: 21st August 2015, 11:14 AM

As soon as I saw the slow-motion replay, I knew in my heart that she was a millimetre over the board but I so hoped she'd get away with it. I remember Katarina being so close to a record in a recent championship but she missed out by something like 10 points, and now she's basically had a potential gold medal slip through her fingers because of one millimetre. I so hope that Katarina finally gets that gold medal in Rio next year, she deserves it so much! I think Katarina is in the main long jump competition too later in the week, it'd be incredible if she got something from that. Hopefully Jess can go on and win the heptathlon now, it was great that she supported Katarina after their final jumps.

I'm a paragon so don't perceive me Joined: 3 February 2011 Posts: 37,420 User: 12,929	Aww, poor KJT She definitely has a medal for that in her future, but well done for Jess for getting it in the end, that's an incredible achievement for her. I'm enjoying watching the odd event here, this is a fine warm-up for the Olympics.

Can't understand Gatlin at all, his attitude and demeanour. 4 people in that final who have had drug bans: Powell, Gay and Rodgers. Fantastic performance from Ennis-Hill. Brilliant comeback after a year on from giving birth. She shouldn't be dismissed at all.

Great performance from JEH - composed the whole way through. KJT looked nervous as anything but she was desperately unlucky in the long jump. She will get there though. She won the high jump and 200m and set personal bests in the hurdles and shot putt. Would have been a really, really exciting finish if she'd still been there for the final 800m.

Oh dear.

I'm so lonely, I paid a hobo to spoon with me Joined: 6 February 2010 Posts: 12,908 User: 10,596	Rabah Yousif ran a massive PB in the 400m semis to go through as a fastest loser. Probably won't get a medal as the competition is probably the fiercest of any event on the timetable. Amazing stuff. Martyn Rooney went out, had clearly knackered himself in the heats.
