BBC Sport at the Olympic Stadium
The floodlights are now at full wattage, lighting up this glorious stadium on a balmy London evening. It’s after 9pm and it’s still 23C - that’s what you want from a summer.
There’s plenty going on in the field, Katarina Johnson-Thompson thrilling in the high jump, the sand sweepers (pretty sure that's their official titles) earning their corn as the men’s triple jump has begun.
But at the far end of the stadium is Renaud Lavillenie, in supreme form, cleaning 5.90m in the pole vault upping it to 1.95m. The Frenchman has yet to lose in this stadium and he’s unlikely to do so tonight.
