    Women's 4x100m final

    Sums up the championships for Britain.

    The USA win their third successive world title in the women's 4x100m, just ahead of Jamaica who sent Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce into the sunset with a silver.

    Bronze for Germany, edging out the Brits. So that's no medals from the relays at all for GB. Very disappointing.

    Women's 4x100m final

    The USA are seeking a hat-trick of world titles.

    Jamaica are powered by the emotion of Fraser-Pryce.

    And Britain have a strong team.

    Who will take the gold?

    We'll know in a minute...

    Well, what an honour it is to be here as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce brings the curtain down on her career.

    Can she do so with global medal number 25?

    The tributes have been flooding in throughout the championships, including from eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt.

    Although he has nothing but respect for his compatriot, his one complaint is that Fraser-Pryce has kept going long enough to make him look bad, eight years after he retired aged 30.

    "There are no words to explain how great Shelly-Ann is," Bolt told BBC Sport.

    "She's a legend in my book, she has proven again and again that she is one of the best in the world.

    "She left, had a kid, came back to the sport and still dominated. I'm happy to know and to see this greatness."

    Amy Hunt is going to elevate the team and she's coming off a great high from that 200m [silver medal].

    They ran really well in qualifying, they're looking strong and we've not got a gold medal yet. I'm not putting too much pressure on and I'm not going to jinx it but I hope this 4x100m women's team can step up here.

  6. Field events suspended againpublished at 13:04 BST

    As the rain picks up again in Tokyo, the women's high jump final has been paused just as we approached the conclusion.

    No action in the men's discus either, which had not resumed after the first delay.

    But on the track, the relays will continue...

    Women's 4x100m final

    Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith, Success Eduan, Desiree Henry and Daryll Neita qualified for the women's 4x100m relay with a good showing in Saturday's heat.

    The team has been changed for the final though, with world 200m silver medallist Amy Hunt coming for Eduan as she eyes a second medal of the week.

    They won silver in Paris last summer, and the nations they finished on the Olympic podium alongside - USA and Germany - will likely provide the stiffest opposition again.

    Women's high jump final

    We're down to the final three in the women's high jump.

    Favourites Nicola Olyslagers (Australia) and Yaroslava Mahuchikh (Ukraine) - who passed at 2m after failing her first attempt - are joined by Poland's Maria Zodzik, who cleared the height at the final attempt.

    What a time to produce a personal best. She's guaranteed a medal.

    GB athletes get few chances to grab the sporting limelight and they deliver this. Too many sub par performances and excuses. The whole set up needs looking, especially field events which are abysmal.

    It has not been as successful a day - or a championships - as we would have hoped from a British perspective.

    GB's Toby Harries speaking to BBC Sport after finishing sixth: "The shoes are heavy from the rain so it's always going to be a little slower but I think, we're born and bred in this, we're British we have to deal with rain so in a way it benefits us.

    "But today we just weren't good enough. We'll suck it up and next year we'll be back in that medals table."

    Men's 4x400m final

    GB's Charlie Dobson speaking to BBC Sport after finishing sixth: "I mean there was quite a decent gap to fifth, unfortunately we just weren't in a position to fight for anything.

    "But I want to say a massive thank you to our sponsors - they've been a massive help for us getting here and we will definitely be back and one day get that medal."

    "I don't know about the other lads but my running felt absolutely dreadful."

    It seems people reading this blog think that the Team GB athletes should be immune to criticism. This has been an underwhelming world championships and that is fact. Improvement is vastly needed ahead of Beijing 2027 and LA 2028

    It's hard to know what to say about this Team GB performance. Paris was poor and this was worse. I guess the only way is up?
