It's just medal events from now until close on Friday.

The women's shot put is ongoing, while on track we will have the mixed 4x400m relay before the women's 5000m to conclude.

And this is only night one of six!

The heptathlon concludes tomorrow with the long jump and javelin in the morning, followed by the 800m to conclude in the evening.

No Katarina Johnson-Thompson involvement, of course.

1. Nafissatou Thiam (Belgium) 3955

2. Noor Vidts (Belgium) 3920

3. Auriana Lazraq-Khlass (France) 3915

9. Jade O'Dowda (Great Britain) 3655

Joy for Slovenia, as Kristjan Ceh becomes the country's first ever gold medalist in a major outdoor athletics event.

Ceh's second throw of 68.08m was the benchmark, and was never bettered.

Lukas Weisshaidinger of Austria takes silver, with Lithuania's world record holder Mykolas Alekna surprisingly only bronze.

Alekna faults on his final throw!

The Lithuanian can only record a best of 67.48m, leaving him in the bronze medal position.

We have a great ending to the men's discus. Olympic champion Daniel Stahl has faulted with his final three throws, the Swede misses out on the medals in fourth place.

Here's world record holder Mykolas Alekna now...

It's a shock to me as Katarina Johnson-Thompson didn't look injured. A massive disappointment for the British sport.

Following the 200m, Jade O'Dowda has fallen down the rankings from fifth to ninth.

Nafi Thiam still leads overall.

Full rankings shortly.

Mykolas Alekna is going for gold here and it is always interesting to see how he would handle the pressure.

In the end if it stays this way Kristjan Ceh is getting his revenge by getting on top in the European championships after being second to Alekna in Munich two years ago.

Lawrence Okoye throws 63.48m with his final effort in the discus final - his best effort of the six.

It is not enough to lift him up the standings however, and the British athlete is confirmed as eighth place in Rome.

The final 200m heat in the heptathlon is about to take place.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson was supposed to run in this heat, one of her strongest disciplines - but has of course pulled out.

It's a Dutch one-two after two throws in the women's shot put.

Jessica Schilder of the Netherlands leads with 18.77m, 0.1m ahead of compatriot Jorinde Van Klinken.

Noor Vidts is in personal best shape and having a fantastic competition, it is being overshadowed by Nafissatou Thiam's performance but I suppose that does normally happen.

The men's discus final is heading towards a fascinating conclusion. Mykolas Alekna, the world record holder, threw his best effort of the final with throw four - 67.48m.

But he's still not been able to knock off the leader, Kristjan Ceh of Slovenia, who set 68.08m on his second throw.

Noor Vidts, a very quick sprinter, wins her 200m heat in 23.85 seconds.

Nafi Thiam ran 24.81 secs, with Jade O'Dowds just on her shoulder in fourth.

We will let you know what that means for the overall rankings once the maths has been worked out.

Nafi Thiam, Noor Vidts and Jade O'Dowda are now on track and being introduced to the crowd.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson's withdrawal may make a medal spot wide open. Could O'Dowda, currently fifth overall, take advantage?

Some good news for British fans!

Morgan Lake has been confirmed as one of the top 12 performers in the women's high jump qualifier, which means she goes through to the final.

Lake jumped 1.89m to secure her place in medal contention.

The 200m event is just getting under way on track in the heptathlon. Leader Nafi Thiam, second place Noor Vidts and lone British contender Jade O'Dowda go in the second heat.

Apologies, I was incorrect in the earlier post regarding the discus final. It is not the top six who progress after the first three throws, but the top eight - which means Lawrence Okoye is still in contention having been eighth at the half way stage.

With his fourth throw, he achieves a new best distance of 63.38m, although he does not move up the rankings.

Keeping up? Good. There's another final going on.

The women's shot put is under way. After the first round of throws, Jessica Schilder of the Netherlands leads with 18.77m.
