    Very, very impressive I've only seen this young man run on the internet. His start was excellent. That is one thing that could upset Usain Bolt, who doesn't tend to start well. He's very consistent and does a lot of damage in the first 30 metres. Once he got into it he got to that next level of total relaxation. He's definitely a threat.

    Nice. Real nice.

    American Christian Coleman out in an unfamiliar lane nine, stretches out, eases off and still stops the clock just a shade over 10 seconds.

    Not too bad at all.

    Right then, a first look at the fastest man in the world this year. University of Tennessee student Christian Coleman has a 9.82 second run in his back pocket.

    Will the 21-year-old's form survive the transatlantic trip?

    Also up in the first heat is Cejhae Greene of Antigua...

    Buckle up... First three through automatically.

    Laura Weightman tells BBC Sport she cannot wait for Saturday's semi-finals.

    "I love racing in this stadium. I thought for a heat it was relaxed and controlled," she adds. "I was aware all the time what was happening. Tomorrow is going to be extremely tough. It's a high quality event. I'm ready for it though and let's see what I have got."

    Heat one of the 100m at 20:20 BST features Christian Coleman - the young American who can boast being the fastest man on earth this year - while Jamaica's 2011 World Champion Yohan Blake goes eight minutes later in heat two.

    Great Britain's first 100m man on show tonight is Reece Prescod in heat three and he will have it tough against South Africa's Akani Simbine. Simbine has run under 10 seconds on eight occasions this season. For perspective, Usain Bolt has managed that once.

    CJ Ujah (pictured), possibly Britain's best hope on form, runs at 20:44 BST and will fancy his chances as only American Christian Belcher in his heat has run quicker this year.

    Then it's Justin Gatlin at 20:52 in heat five moments before Usain Bolt goes against James Dasaolu in heat six. Once again, three go through from each heat and six fastest losers. So 48 runners will be cut to 24.

  12. 'I'm through? Really?'published at 20:13 British Summer Time 4 August 2017

    Sarah McDonald has just been informed by BBC Sport she is through to the semi-finals as a fastest loser.

    "No. Really? The noise was incredible and I'm so happy I'm through," she says. "I can't quite believe it yet. I knew it was a tough ask because it is my first World Championships."

    Women's 1500m heats

    Faith Kipyegon trots through to take the heat with room to spare.

    Germany's Konstanze Klosterhalfen actually was going backwards in the final 100m. Maybe a little overcooked and overpsyched for a head.

    Laura Weightman by contrast came on strong.

    All three safely through.
