    "Jess has made everything go right for her. It's amazing to think that even up to a month ago she was uncertain as to whether she would come here to compete."

    "I am really over the moon for Jess. That is one super woman. She is unbelievable - and on her way to becoming a legend. 

    "None of her performances here were outstanding but they were consistent and I see no reason why she can't do even better in Rio and defend her title."

  5. Ennis-Hill wins heptathlon goldpublished at 13:11

    In May, Jessica Ennis-Hill finished fourth in Gotzis and was unsure whether she would compete in Beijing. Up until a few weeks ago she was still undecided. The Briton only started serious training in November after the birth of her son, Reggie, last July, but she's once again on top of the world. Incredible.

    "What a performance from a true, true champion. If she wasn't already the darling of British athletics then goodness me, she is now. This is what it's all about - years of training to show that athletics can be pure and great and inspirational."

    Canada's Brianne Theisen-Eaton was the favourite coming into these championships and although her season's best is only slightly slower than Jessica Ennis-Hill (2:09.37). She should not be able to snatch the gold medal from the Briton.

    What's happening on the track? Jessica Ennis-Hill, heptathlon leader, is on the start line for the 800m. The Olympic champion has a six-second cushion and she is by far the quickest athlete on paper, with a personal best of 2:07.81. Her season's best is 2:09.21.

    The line-up for the men's 100m has been announced. Usain Bolt is in lane five, while Justin Gatlin is in lane seven, so they won't be sprinting down the track shoulder-to-shoulder.

    Interesting chat between Michael Johnson and Daley Thompson on KJT's heptathlon.

    "A sports psychologist isn't what's needed, and that's a big bonus because that would be a difficult thing to deal with. I don't want to second-guess a coach, but this is about the coach and the athlete sitting down after the championship, reflecting on what went wrong and changing things."

  15. Vote of the daypublished at 12:57

    It's that time of the afternoon. For today's vote we're asking: Who do you think will win the 100m?

    The vote (on this page) will close at 14:00 BST so you've got time to compose yourselves, deliberate and make your decision.

  16. Tears for KJTpublished at 12:50

    "This is the last place I wanted to be right now. I had to compete," Katarina Johnson-Thompson tells Phil Jones. The interview ends. The Liverpudlian's eyes fill up with salty tears and the heptathlete receives a hug from Jones and the tears flow.

    KJT takes it easy in the heptathlon 800m

    "My heart goes out to KJT. Who can judge? She's being very courageous having to do this. Imagine the agony of being put in this situation? It's almost humiliating for her. 

    "She can't pull out if she wants to compete in the long jump and she's decided just to plod round."

  19. Postpublished at 12:47

    Johnson-Thompson last coming down the home straight, running at a plodder's pace. The Briton - who was second overall after day one - crosses the line and sighs. A day full of ifs and buts for the Liverpudlian.
