Sophie Papps, 19, tells BBC Sport that competing in these championships has been "massively helpful" for her.

"I'm so glad they've given me this opportunity because I've received so much advice," she says. "And watching Richard Kilty [win gold] was one of the most exciting things I've watched."

"Ahoure has gone under seven seconds during her career. I think she'll be close to that mark later in the evening."

Nigeria's Gloria Asumnu (7.11 seconds) joins Murielle Ahoure in the 60 final but Britain's Sophie Papps - competing in her first indoor championships - fails to qualify for the final after crossing the line in 7.30 seconds. A fine weekend for Papps, though.

Pre-race favourite Murielle Ahoure burst through to qualify in first place in 7.06 seconds. The Ivorian blows kisses to the camera, which is nice of her.

Can Britain's female sprinters match Richard Kilty's feat? It's a tough task. The first track event of the day is the women's 60m semi-finals and the first of three races features Britain's Sophie Papps, who lines up against Ivory Coast's Murielle Ahoure, the fastest in the world this year with a season's best 7.03 seconds.

Richard Kilty's exploits at the Ergo Arena is one of the sporting stories of the weekend and, unsurprisingly, he has made headlines.

"Richard Kilty's 60m charge proves critics wrong," proclaimed The Independent , externaland the paper's Matt Majendie writes: "To anyone that would listen, the 24-year-old, a 33-1 shot with bookmakers in the build-up, had said he could win and had a sub-6.50sec run within him, and so it proved."

Simon Hart says in The Telegraph:, external "Kilty sunk to his knees with his arms aloft but appeared stunned at the magnitude of his achievement after experiencing such a crushing low 18 months ago."

The 24-year-old is from Stockton, near Middlesbrough, and was only selected for the World Indoor Championships after James Dasaolu was forced to withdraw through injury. He achieved the 'A' qualifying standard for London 2012 in the 200m but was overlooked by former head coach Charles van Commenee, which caused a bit of a stir.

Things went from bad to worse for the sprinter because at the end of 2012 he lost his lottery funding and last year he had no coach, no money and lived with his parents.

But what a difference 12 months makes because this weekend his life turned into a "fairy tale" and he is now a world indoor champion!

I should mention that there's live coverage from Sopot on the BBC and you can listen and watch Steve Cram and co by clicking the 'live coverage' tab at the top of this page. And, of course, it would be a dull live text without your thoughts and chit-chat.

"I told my dad four years ago I would be world champion and to think I've come out and done it - I feel like crying," said Kilty, a man who had considered quitting the sport after missing out on selection for London 2012.

"It's unbelievable. I'm on top of the world. This proves I'm a championship competitor," he said. "For the last four years all I've been done is been slated - by the media, from other people from my home country.

"Obviously there were people who did support me but I've been knocked back for selection so many times."

But, let's talk a bit about yesterday, because a 6.49-second burst by Britain's Richard Kilty, the Teesside Tornado, stole the show. The 24-year-old lived up to his nickname and caused the biggest surprise of the championships by beating a field which included Nesta Carter, the fifth fastest man over 100m, and pre-race favourite Marvin Bracy.

Twelve gold medals will be won today and Britain's Holly Bleasdale and her fellow pole vaulters will get the afternoon under way in five minutes. But, for those of you who prefer their day to be carried out with military precision, here's the schedule for the next 90 minutes or so (times in GMT).

14:00 - Women's pole vault final

14:05 - Women's long jump final

14:15 - Women's 60m semi-finals

14:45 - Men's 60m hurdles semi-finals

15:10 - Men's 3000m final

15:30 - Men's high jump final

Hello and welcome to live text commentary of the final day of the World Indoor Championships in Sopot. Britain were catapulted to joint third in the medal table after winning two medals on the second day in Poland and the team should add to that tally this afternoon because Holly Bleasdale, Andrew Osagie and the much-fancied relay teams will be doing their thing.

He said he was a contender. He said he had class. He said one day he would be the champion of the world. Not many believed him. After all, he was an unknown, a late replacement. He also had to beat 'marvellous' Marvin Bracy - and the fifth fastest man in history. But Richard Kilty proved his doubters wrong and this morning wakes up as the world 60m indoor champion.
