    Britain have twice won silver in this event - Hannah England (2011) and Lisa Dobriskey (2009) - but Laura Muir will hope to be their first world champion. The Scot's main rivals look to be Rio champion Faith Kipyegon and current champion Genzebe Dibaba, while 800m Olympic champion Caster Semenya will also be a threat and British team-mate Laura Weightman will hope to snatch a medal.

    The triple jump is just about to start.

    The top three at last year’s Olympics have the top nine jumps in the world this year. Venezuela’s Yulimar Rojas has five of those.

    Colombia’sOlympic champion Caterine Ibarguen heads that list. The two-time reigning world champion went on a 34-event winning streak between 2012 & 2016. Kazakhstan’s Olga Rypakova won world bronze in 2015 and at the Rio Olympics. She was the best qualifier with a leap of 14.57m.

    Hitchon 7th in hammer

    Sophie Hitchon

    Sophie Hitchon speaks to BBC Two after placing seventh in the hammer: "I couldn't quite find the rhythm I had in qualification. I knew I was in shape and am just disappointed not to produce it tonight. The crowd was great, I'm just disappointed I couldn't pull it out of the bag for them.

    "It just didn't click for me today. It's sport, everyone else did better than me today."

    Men's 400m hurdles

    Irish hurdler Thomas Barr - a sub 48-second man at his best - is not at his best unfortunately. He's another one who is ill and misses out altogether. Top two go through automatically. Tough now.

    Olympic champion Kerron Clement of the US is in trouble as they reach the home straight, maybe fifth place, but he comes back like a train to win it in 48.35.

    Norwegian Karsten Warholm does the opposite, leading all the way before tying up but he's second and through.

    "It was a strange competition. All the girls are down on their performances. You can see how bitterly disappointed Sophie Hitchon is. It breaks your heart. She knows when you come into a competition so well, healthy and then don't deliver, it's so hard to take.

    "She seemed relaxed. Sometimes you just can't put your finger on it. I don't know what happened between the warm up and now. It just happens. The mistakes hurt, they really hurt."

    Sophie Hitchon, who won bronze in Rio remember, would have needed a PB to get amongst the medals tonight. But she is in floods of tears as the athletes leave the track. Inconsolable. But she's stopping for the BBC cameras...

    Meghan Beesley goes out very hard, she's maybe second after 150m or so.

    She's put herself in a good position but ties up off the final bend and is run out of it.

    Lea Sprunger wins it in 55.14, Beesley is sixth in 56.41 - that may be enough...
