Yep, great run from Rabah Yousif. Just qualifying for the final is great. Ditto Eilidh Childs.

Good run indeed from Rabiah Yousif there. And from Child although she could have gone better in my opinion.

Yeah, she was slightly lucky to get through although no one was running especially quickly. I can't see her getting a medal, we might have to wait for Perri Shakes-Drayton to make her comeback for that.

Mo, Jess, and today Greg Rutherford have won GOLD for Britain so far at the World Champs this year, the legends from Super Saturday.

 

Christine Ohuruogu looked impressive at the women 400m semis today, Thursday's final should be great.

 

One thing I've noticed is how badly Russia and the USA are doing so far compared to previous World Champs, maybe the crackdown on doping really is getting better.

Greg Rutherford becomes the 5th British athlete to hold the World, European, Commonwealth and Olympic Titles to hold all four titles at the same time. Fantastic performance.

 

Interesting how the Chinese have suddenly got better in the long jump.

 

 

Home advantage always helps, but yes, the Chinese did well. Also liked the Aussie guy who jumped with his chain in his mouth.

Kenya are still top of the medals table. Shouldn't really be a surprise that they can produce athletes who can win in the 800m and now the 400m hurdles given how dominant they are over the longer distances. They and Jamaica are really squeezing the US out of it.

Fantastic to see Katarina Johnson-Thompson comfortably managing automatic qualification in the long jump just now - she has an outside chance of a medal if she gets close or surpasses her personal best, it would be so fantastic if she could snatch one! It's great that she's had an opportunity to get straight back out there in another event rather than having to wait a whole year until the next major world event.

 

I love the fact she's made the picture of her foul jump from the other day her new laptop screensaver, that's one way of dealing with it! :D Great to see the other long jumpers doing well too!

Can Dina Asher-Smith win a medal in today's 200m final after looking very impressive in the two previous rounds.

 

Great news that Bolt winning his 10th World Championship gold medal. Easily one of the best sprinters I've ever seen.

 

 

I think she'll definitely take a medal but not sure she'll get gold as the other two semi-finals were much quicker. That said, she wasn't pushed and she must have a good bit left in the tank as they say.

5th for Asher-Smith. New British record but she couldn't quite dip below 22 seconds. Campbell-Brown got the bronze after that bizarre lane infringement in Round 1.

 

We got a medal that isn't a gold! Shara Proctor got another national record and became the first British woman to jump beyond 7m, but was denied at the last for the gold.

Asher-Smith can only get stronger throughout the year before the Olympics providing she doesn't get any injuries.

 

She's 19 years old. It was an amazing performance, and next year she'll have Jodie Williams pushing her on to run even faster. In the same way, Zharnel Hughes and Adam Gemili could have some great battles in the coming years.

Fantastic, measured run from Mo Farah. A 5th world gold medal and he completes his 3rd Long-Distance double after London 2012, Moscow 2013 and now Beijing 2015. Surely he must get something for Sports Personality of The Year? The best British long-distance runner we've ever had.

 

 

 

Where's the high jump final, BBC?

 

Surely they would put field events on the Red Button.

 

 

No medal for either 4x100 team. Women could have been a bit slicker but still ran a national record to finish 5th. Men were an easy third with 100 to go but then completely stuffed up the last changeover. USA got disqualified for a dodgy change so it could have been a silver if we'd got it right.

I thought the women and men could get a bronze but not meant to be. Once again the men mess up with the baton. With the women it was highly competitive we nearly beat Trinidad & Tobago for the bronze but again not enough.
