And Morgan Lake rubbish in the high jump. Maybe the women's 4x100 the only remaining chance of a gold but would probably need America to fuck it up.

Great stuff by Botswana. Looked like South Africa got silver at first glance, but the photo showed otherwise.

The women's 4x400 was a lot less competitive.

Brilliant Botswana.

This sounds like a sequence from ‘Horrible Histories.’

Doesn't feel like the sort of thing they should be winning. Bore off, America.

The British bloke might finish around half-time in the Villa game.

Son of Danny Mills….its wrong but I can’t bring myself to support :-)

It was a gutsy run, but there was clearly something wrong, today. The commentators sounded more and more mystified as Our Man Mills stayed resolutely at the back of the field for longer and longer, until even they realised it wasn’t a tactical move to unnerve Ingebrigtsen.

It will be interesting whether she has the speed endurance for 800m.

She must be pretty confident that she can compete. I doubt she'd give up on guaranteed medals otherwise.

It's just occurred to we could have a decent view a Keely Hodgkinson/Femke Bol face off - the European Championships are at the Alexander Stadium next year
