    "That was such a clean race from Omar McLeod. He had the pressure on him. Not a fairytale ending for Aries Merritt. Look at the relief on Omar McLeod's face. He's gone to the Jamaican fans."

    Mike Costello adds: "I think he just hugged a lady and said 'mummy'."

    In the final two years ago, McLeod finished sixth. But he won in Rio and his improved. He starts favourite. He is the only man to run under 13 seconds this year.

    If you're wondering why Olympic champion Omar McLeod will be running the 110m hurdles with a set of beads in his mouth, they belonged to his late aunt Fiona. "It reminds me that my aunt is watching over me and will forever be proud of me," says the 23-year-old Jamaican.

    If you grew up on Colin Jackson and Tony Jarrett then this event will be special.

    We could see a fast time. And reigning champion Sergey Shubenkov from Russia could win the authorised neutral team’s first medal.

    Yulimar Rojas (pictured) improves her mark in the women's triple jump and the Venezuelan had some room on the take-off board. It's a 14.83m leap and that's her advantage fractionally improved.

    Next up is Caterine Ibarguen and she rubbishes what has gone before, nailing a 14.89m effort. A qualified nurse, Ibarguen won Colombia's first ever Olympic gold medal in track and field in Rio.

    Omar McLeod has been flying, and the Jamaican has talked of breaking the world record this year – could he do it in tonight's final? He'd have to shave a tenth of a second off his best. A big ask.

    The man who holds that mark of 12.80 seconds is America’s London 2012 champion Aries Merritt.

    Merritt has not run under 13 seconds this season and has not really got close to his 2012 form of late.

    Ever wondered what the final moments before a race are like - specifically waiting in the call room? Luckily 2011 world 400m hurdles champion Dai Greene has written a revealing blog on the subject., external

    He tells us about one athlete waxing his hair in the call room - that ended badly - and goes into some good detail on how Americans handle it.

    "Plenty of times I’ve been in races with more than one American," writes Greene. "On occasions they could be quite vocal, acting like each other’s hype man, trying to feed off one another. Telling themselves loudly that its “our time” and so on. I didn’t find that intimidating but I’m sure others would have. If you have to say it out loud then you’re probably just trying to persuade yourself to believe it."

    American Phyllis Francis was fifth in Rio and easily has the best time on paper in this heat. She sets off hard.

    Zoey Clark is left behind as Francis and Kabange Mupopo push on. Francis wins in 50.37, Mupopo second.

    Clark is seventh in 51.81 - a new personal best. You can't ask for more than that.

    That was absolutely astonishing from the 18-year-old Salwa Eid Nasser.

    She ran a very good race. Nice technique, strong and was able to hold that speed down the home straight.

    Felix was having to kick again in the final few metres - that would have been tough.
