  3. 'I sat down and couldn't get up again'published at 11:17 British Summer Time 27 August 2015

    Men's 400m final

    There's an update on Wayde van Niekerk to tell you about. The South African became the fourth fastest 400m runner of all time when he won Wednesday's final, but collapsed after the race and was taken off the track on a stretcher.

    But the 23-year-old has told BBC Radio 5 live that he is OK and "just needed to catch my breath".

    "It was normal lactic acid after the race," said  Van Niekerk. "I made a mistake of going to sit down but I couldn't get up again. Other than that I was 100% all the way to the hospital and back again."

    What else happened while we were dreaming about cheese and teeth? Britons Tiffany Porter and Cindy Ofili have progressed to the semi-finals of the women's 100m hurdles.

    Porter was the second fastest qualifier as she won her heat in 12.73 seconds, while Ofili came fourth in her heat in 12.97.

    Stephanie Twell's time of 15 minutes 34.72 seconds saw her qualify as one of the fastest losers to reach Sunday's women's 5,000m final.

    And British pair Charlie Grice and Chris O'Hare qualified for the men's 1500m semi-finals.

    "I wanted to come out and put everything that was wrong right again," said Johnson-Thompson, who finished 28th in the heptathlon after three fouls in the long jump. 

    "I'm very grateful to be able to represent the country in the long jump as well as the heptathlon, so I have a chance to rectify my mistake.

    "I've had to sit and live with my thoughts for the last few days so it has been hard."

    Before we lose ourselves in Bolt versus Gatlin the sequel, it's probably best to update you with what's been happening in the Bird's Nest. 

    Katarina Johnson-Thompson, another athlete seeking to avenge earlier disappointment in Beijing, was one of three British athletes to qualify for the women's long jump final. 

    The 22-year-old, who missed out on a heptathlon medal after messing up in the long jump, jumped 6.79m. Team-mates Lorraine Ugen (6.87m) and Shara Proctor (6.68m) also qualified.
