  2. 'Greg determined to win'

    "Greg Rutherford is in great form, he's determined to win and I think he can produce a bigger performance in these conditions."

  3. Rutherford still on top in long jump final

    Fingers crossed for Greg. He's done a good job so far - his main rivals are struggling.

  4. Foul for Rutherford

    Greg Rutherford, the leader, goes for a third time. He can relax a little knowing he's set the standard, but perhaps he's a bit too relaxed as his foot plants on the Plasticine. 

    Should Rutherford's 8.29m effort win gold, it'd be the shortest-winning leap to secure gold at a World Championships. There are three more opportunities for Rutherford, and others, to go further, of course. 

  5. Caballero wins discus gold

    The first gold medal of the day is awarded to Cuba's Denia Caballer, the world's number one, who threw 69.28m to beat the best of the rest. 

    Silver will go to Croatia's Sandra Perkovic (67.39), with the bronze won by Germany's Nadine Muller (65.53). 

  6. Get involved #bbcathletics

    Mark Leawood:  Nice jump from Rutherford to put a marker down for the rest & a good run from Hughes in the 200M.

    Simon Smith:  Henderson this is gonna be tight for the cut off. Keep it together Greg.

  7. Talbot reaches next round

    Danny knew if he wasn't in one of the automatic qualifying positions he might have struggled to reach the next round.

  8. Talbot delighted with qualification

    Danny Talbot

    You have to take one race at a time. I wanted to focus on myself to try to get through. I train all year to get to compete on this stage. I can’t wait for tomorrow.

    Great Britain's Danny Talbot, Finished third in his 200m heat

    Danny Talbot is through to the 200m semi-finals, finishing third in his heat in 20.35. One more 200m heat to go...

  9. Henderson red flag

    Jeff Henderson with another foul! Blimey. The American has recorded a 7.95m effort but that might not be enough with only the top eight surviving the cut. He's currently in sixth position overall after his third jump.

  10. The United connection

    Tom Fordyce
    Chief sports writer in Beijing

    "While tonight's action here in Beijing for British supporters is dominated by Manchester United fan Greg Rutherford's attempt to add the world long jump title to his Olympic, European and Commonwealth golds, there is another United connection in another big field who could end up on the podium. 

    "Kenya's 800m man Ferguson Cheruiyot changed his first name from Simon, aged 12, in tribute to the legendary United manager. "They cannot stop winning, and that is why I chose to be known as Ferguson," he says. United fans may wish to take note that no athlete in these championships has yet changed their name to Moyes."

  11. 'It was a great race'

    I think I came off too lazy on to the curve. Other than that it was a great race. I came off well from the curve. It was difficult on the tight lane because I’m tall. To be here I feel blessed.

  12. Rutherford puts pressure on rivals

    "That is a really important moment for Greg. He's put himself in medal contention with that jump. He knew he had to put them under pressure and he's done that. He's in the lead but can he go further or will Jeff Henderson respond?"

  13. Henderson fouls

    The attention turns to Jeff Henderson, the world's numero uno this year in the long jump. Can the American better Greg Rutherford's second jump? Nope. Up goes the red flag. One more chance for the favourite. He could be in trouble

  14. 'Hughes in good position for semis'

    Michael Johnson
    400m world record holder on BBC TV

    This was textbook bend running. He slingshots himself off the bend. He has put himself in a great position in the semi-final. He'll have a good lane.

  15. 'Hughes in good form'

    Colin Jackson
    Two-time world 110m hurdles champion on BBC TV

    One thing about Zharnel is that he's used to winning ways. He's coming here in good form and you can see that.

  16. Hughes wins 200m heat in 20.13

    On the track, it's a chance to see British 200m champion Zharnel Hughes running from lane one. He's with the pack down the home straight and comes through in the last 30m, dipping ahead of South Africa's Julian Forte in 20.13. Third was Canada's Brendon Rodney (20.18). 

  17. 'Decent jump for Rutherford'

    Rutherford has produced something very good. It's a decent jump in this second round.

  18. Rutherford leads with 8.29m jump

    Greg Rutherford to go again in the long jump. Eyebrows furrowed. He needs a white flag on this second attempt to ease the pressure. Will he deliver? Yes! And the Briton leaps 8.29m to go into the lead

  19. A little bit sore but I'll be OK - Bolt

    The 200m means a lot more to me but I'm a little worried about my fitness because I've not done many this year, but I think I am a better technical runner in this event. I am tired and a little sore but I'm going to take another ice bath and I'll be OK."
