A fantastic attempt at it, to be honest. Impressive. The world marks above 7000 are, ahem, 'dubious' so getting there clean is a terrific success. Well done Kat.

The end of the Dec will be close and enthralling; Kauls Jav has made it really close.

5th for Muir in a very quick race earlier, without her disrupted season she might not have tied up in the last 200 but even at her best I think it might have been a bit quick for her. In context she'd have needed to take 4 seconds off her own British record to challenge. That she nearly ran a PB despite there being question marks over her fitness going in does bode well, a good winter and injury free summer next year and she'll be right in the mix at the Olympics.

I didn't even know the world championship was on until I saw an article about the above story while looking for Tour de France news on the Guardian. I am abroad at the moment, is it on terrestrial TV at all?

It's on BBC, but in the far west of America so all the big events are on at stupid times.

Great effort from Dina Asher-Smith getting bronze in the 200, looking forward to seeing her in the Commonwealth Games, hopefully the 2 Jamaicans, who got gold and silver won't be competing.

I hope they will be. I've got tickets for the 200m Final.

Superb effort from Keely Hodgkinson in the 800m, just missing out on gold.

Also surprising to see how good Timothée Chalamet is at the Pole Vault.

It irked me a bit the way the American girl left a clear gap as she came off the bend and then closed it, leaning in to Keely in the home straight.
Wouldn't hurt to have Steve Ovett as a consultant on the training team,

That's an experience thing, she's still very young and is learning a bit of 'race craft' still.

Not enjoying the stupid times. Assume this is going to be what it's like when LA hosts the Olympics. They should just go back to holding them in Athens each time, IMO. They didn't have races at half three in the morning our time. Although I suppose it would have to be after 9pm if they still insist on doing the events togs off.
