Greg Rutherford has most of the Daily Telegraph's back page to himself. "One giant leap into history," says the paper of Rutherford's golden leap. 

"He does not always conform, he speaks his mind and he calls out critics. But he is the best long jumper in the world," writes the paper's Ben Bloom. , external

Sara L. Uckelman:  Watching #bbcathletics, external, I have a desire to rearrange athletes & disciplines. Put a pole vaulter in the 200m, a long jumper in gynmastics.

Robert Leat:  Did anyone else notice the Chinese flag hit that guy in the face as it went up? 

Mo Farah's 10,000m gold? Usain Bolt slaying Justin Gatlin in the 100m? Jessica Ennis-Hill's magical heptathlon comeback? Greg Rutherford's historic leap? 

What has been your favourite moment of the World Championships? We really want to know the answer so if you could take part in our vote (on this page on desktop, or a tiny tab on mobile) we'd be most grateful. Thanks in advance. 

Has Greg Rutherford stopped smiling since Tuesday afternoon? It's highly unlikely. 

He shows off the pearly whites as he receives his golden gong... God Save the Queen rings out...Rutherford breathes deeply. 

Tears? A tiny drop if any. Perhaps he's all out of tears after his emotional interview with Phil Jones yesterday.

Dark skies over Beijing, a rumble of thunder in the air, but the angry skies remaining calm for the men's long jump medal ceremony. Greg Rutherford the man waiting to stand on top of the podium, head and shoulders above the rest in the world... 

Reigning champion David Oliver, 33, won his heat in 13.15 seconds. The US team have suffered from ill-fortune and poor performances so far in these championships. 

This year's leading long jumper Jeff Henderson and 2012 Olympic 10,000m silver medallist Galen Rupp failed to win medals in their respective events.

Five-time national champion Bershawn Jackson failed to advance from the first round in the 400m hurdles, while 1500m runner Jenny Simpson finished 11th after losing her shoe in the final.

During the dark and soggy British night there was plenty of track and field happening the other side of the world. 

If you were sleeping you may not know that Britain's Sophie Hitchon will be in Thursday's hammer throw final, qualifying in fifth with a throw of 71.07m.

In the women's 800m heats, Britons Lynsey Sharp, Shelayna Oskan-Clarke and Jenny Meadows all progressed to Thursday's semi-finals.

And Lawrence Clarke completed a clean sweep of British qualifications in the morning session, as his time of 13.61 seconds in the 110m hurdles was enough to put him through to Thursday's semi-finals as one of the four quickest losers. Congratulations, everyone.

British world champion Mo Farah attempts something some will deem braver than going for a long distance double and that is entering an ice bath after his 5,000m heat. Watch Mo enter the chilly waters., external

Farah nearly stumbled, Katarina Johnson-Thompson messed up the long jump in the heptathlon over the weekend, while America's Molly Huddle missed out on bronze by celebrating too early.

"I'm lucky I stayed up. I almost went down again," Farah said, who also fell over midway through the race.  

"At that point you have to stay on your feet, concentrate and relax."

The Briton revealed he has been suffering with a sore right foot, but said "it's nothing to worry about".

Talking of a member of the Super Saturday club, Mo Farah was endlessly running around the Bird's Nest track this morning. He enjoys it. He's good at it. 

But the world and Olympic champion nearly came a cropper in the 5000m heats as he was almost pushed over on the final bend. 

For those of you starting to hyperventilate, deep breaths, calm yourselves, because Farah made it through to Saturday's final, finishing second in his heat in 13 minutes 19.44 seconds.

Enough tweeting because Lynn 'the leap' Davies, who won Olympic long jump gold in 1964, has said Greg Rutherford is now one of Britain's all-time great athletes after becoming the first Briton to win World long jump gold. 

"He's a great competitor, he's very quick, he's developed sound technique and he seizes opportunities," says the Welshman of his fellow sand pit enthusiast.

Williams is part of the Great Britain women's 4x100m squad.

What is British 400m hurdler Perri Shakes-Drayton doing in Salford? She'll be discussing the events at the championships for the BBC throughout the day.

Everyone loves a medal table so here's one we prepared earlier. 

Greg Rutherford's gold takes Britain's golden tally to three and is enough to leapfrog Jamaica into second place. 

There could be more British medals today with Holly Bradshaw in the pole vault final (12:00 BST), Eilidh Child competing in the women's 400m hurdles final (13:10 BST) and Rabah Yousif Bkheit lining up in the 400m final at 14:25 BST.

Greg! Greg! Greg! How do you feel, Greg? Mr Rutherford is this morning's media darling.

Being that he's in Beijing not Philadelphia and in the absence of the 72 steps leading up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Rutherford took to Twitter to send a pumped-up message to his followers. 

Maybe he was tweeting with Bill Conti's Gonna Fly Now, external playing in the background... I guess we'll never know. 

Greg Rutherford says he hopes his achievement in Beijing will make people accept that he's a "half-decent British athlete".
