    Men's 5,000m

    Earlier today, George Mills qualified for the men's 5,000m final - here's what he said to BBC Sport: "I saw the first heat and that was relatively quick for a heat. It can be that, or it can be like ours where it is very slow and a lot of people are panicking, moving around.

    "I wanted to find the right position and be near the front once it picked up. Once it picks up, it is quick and it is very hard to close because everyone in the race is world class.

    "It was my first day, I was figuring out what the stadium was like and the conditions and all-round I am very happy."

    Her form this year has gone from strength to strength.

    For me, the most impressive thing with Amy [Hunt] is her pick up in the latter part of the race. She was not letting anyone get away from her, she was tearing down those last 30 metres.

    What a fabulous silver medal for her.

  12. 'I am a bit disappointed, but Amy did incredibly'published at 14:34 BST 19 September

    Women's 200m final

    Britain's Dina Asher-Smith spoke to BBC Sport after finishing fifth in the women's 200m final: "I am a bit disappointed in my race. I could have done better with executing and I have to go away and work on that.

    "Amy [Hunt] did incredibly. Bless her.

    "I am really disappointed, all I can do is work and get better. I didn't put the best race together for myself.

    "Coming into this, I felt so good and I'm excited to go away, do a little world tour and scope out where i'm going to be basing myself.

    "Overall, I am very happy. I wish I could have executed that better but it is what it is."

  13. World champion Jackson in thirdpublished at 14:31 BST 19 September

    Amy Hunt slipped ahead of world champion Shericka Jackson in the final stages and the Jamaican takes third with a time of 22.18 seconds.

    Dina Asher-Smith is fifth with 22.43, still a good run from her in a strong field.

    Hunt's time of 22.14 was a little slower than the 22.08 she ran in the semis - she was third-fastest there - but she closed out the race with steely focus to pip the experienced Jackson.

    We come to the final event of the session and it's a fantastic one - the women's 200m.

    Can American Melissa Jefferson-Wooden complete a sprint double and follow-up her 100m with another gold here?

    Or might Shericka Jackson, the back-to-back world champion take the prize? She was fastest in the semis with 21.99 seconds, one hundredth faster than Jefferson-Wooden.

    Pedro Pichardo of Portugal with his final effort... OH MY WORD.

    The 2020 Olympic champion has jumped 17.91 metres with his final effort, the best of anyone this year. That is extraordinary, and it earns him world championship gld.

    Andrea Dallavalle has to settle for silver. A great effort, but it simply poked the bear that is Pichardo.

    "Who's the best," Pichardo roars down the camera. You, Pedro.
