    You want a bit of needle to the final?

    Welcome Dafne Schippers.

    The Dutchwoman, who finished second behind Elaine Thompson in the Rio 200m, has said she has a very bad relationship with the Jamaican.

    "I am an easy person to talk to. If she won’t do that, then OK," she told the Daily Mail.

    Katerina Johnson-Thompson is concentrating on the positives after finishing outside a medal spot.

    "I feel like one of these days it will happen for me," she tells BBC Sport.

    "There is a lot to work on. It's been completely stripped down...my mental attitude, the way I approach training, the way I approach each competition.

    "Everyone said it was going to take a couple of years but I wanted it to come together at London 2017. But I feel very positive for the future."

  3. Heartbreaking and confusing - Bradshawpublished at 21:46 British Summer Time 6 August 2017

    Women's pole vault final

    Holly Bradshaw tells BBC Sport about her disappointment after finishing sixth in the final:

    "It was really frustrating. I'm not sure what happened because I am in great shape, but the conditions were difficult. I don't want to use that as an excuse but everything seemed to go against me but fair play to the other women who performed out there.

    "I am really heartbroken. I've worked so hard over the last few years to overcome injuries and I'm in the best shape of my life, but I am just really confused and disappointed.

    "Just to be here is such a privilege and I'm trying not to lose sight of that. The crowd were amazing and I need to look to the future now and move on."

    Right, to the headline act.

    Elaine Thompson is the queen bee of women's sprinting after doing the 100m-200m double in Rio.

    Will any of the others be able to overthrow the favourite?

    The United States' Tori Bowie and Ivory Coast's Marie-Josee Ta Lou might be the closest.

    American Joe Kovacs, the reigning world champion and Olympic silver medallist, thought he had snatched gold but his foot brushed the top of the circle to foul.

    Instead it is Rio's bronze medallist Tom Walsh from New Zealand who takes the spoils...

    Kyle Langford, speaking to BBC Sport: "I had a bad run yesterday and I am learning all the time. My goal at the start of the season was to get to the final.

    I kind of lost it a bit and got a bit cramped up with the group but I was able to finish strongly.

    Kipyegon Bett scampers clear to take the win ahead of Mohammad Aman.

    The 2013 world champion Mohammed Aman is the biggest name in the third semi-final, but not the hottest prospect.

    Kenya's Kipyegon Bett is the fastest this year in the race.

    A truly deserved final spot for Kyle Langford. The 800m is one of Britain's great events and it's great to know we have someone in the final.

    There was such a roar in the home straight and he's made 60,000 people inside the stadium very happy indeed. That roar. He will never hear the like of that again.

    This is the best race he has ever run in his life.

    The best run of Kyle Langford's young life. That was a picture-perfect run. The brain cells all kicked into place and he didn't panic.

    Wow.

    The London 2012 wall of sound comes to the fore again as Kyle Langford is roared past world leader Emmanuel Korir and Poland's Marcin Lewandowski in the home straight to claim second and a spot in the final.

    Canada's Brandon McBride was clear in front. A very strange sub-par performance from Korir.

    Even if the injured David Rudisha had made it to London there would have been an argument to say compatriot and in-form world leader Emmanuel Korir would be favourite.

    Kyle Langfordis the third Briton involved and will hope to improve on Giles and Learmonth's efforts.

    800m semi-final

    Nijel Amos was barged and battered on the back straight and that allowed world silver medallist from 2015 Adam Zszczot to get a clear line and press the pace to surge through after a sluggish first lap.

    Ferguson Rotich has a nervous wait to see if his time survives the other two semi-finals to be one of the two fastest losing efforts.
