  2. 'I don't take it for granted'published at 19:36 British Summer Time 12 August 2017

    Men's 5,000m (20:20 BST)

    It's now less than an hour until Mo Farah runs for the last time on the track in this country.

    His triumph in the 10,000m last Friday - the opening night of the competition - remains Britain's only medal at London 2017.

    NO PRESSURE.

    "It would be pretty amazing," he said of his bid to win a fourth world 5,000m gold following victories in 2011, 2013 and 2015.

    Will we see another Mo medal?

    He added: "No-one has ever done it. It would mean the world to me but at the same time I don't take it for granted.

    "You've seen it with Usain Bolt. It would have been nice to see him win but it didn't happen and no-one is going to give it to you, no matter who you are, even Usain Bolt."

    Women's high jump final

    Katarina Johnson-Thompson approaches 1.92m - and nope, she is not close to that. Smashes the bar off with her back.

    She'll have two more chances of course.

    This competition is just starting really...

    It will be the next height - 1.95m - will sort out the contenders from the lower positions.

    Hero the Hedgehog seems to have finally lost the plot after nine days of japes and capers.

    If KJT had jumped that height in the heptathlon, she would have won the silver medal.

    I sent her a text message afterwards of just a "rolled eyes emoji" and she was like, "I know. I know"...

    But now I am really pleased with her because she has moved that heptathlon brain to one side and is now totally on a high jump brain.

    Men's decathlon

    Kevin Mayer was pained as he made that throw of 66.10m, his elbow was heavily strapped. But your body would be a wreck if this was your ninth world-class event in two days.

    He may not even throw again. That's enough to keep him in front.

    To PB in five of your 10 events, as Mayer has, it sends a huge statement to your competitors.

    He wants to be the main man now that Ashton Eaton has retired.

    Favourite Maria Lasitskene is easily over 1.88m. She's done 2.06m this year so this final could go on a while...

    Lasitskene has what I call "pop". She has that ability to go up and get the lift and height she needs. It's incredible to see.

    She is by far the best in the world this year.

    This World Championships has had its share of shocks but only a fool would bet against Maria Lasitskene claiming high-jump gold. The Russian, competing as an independent athlete here, won gold in Beijing two years ago and boasts the top 10 jumps of 2017. The 24-year-old has won her past 22 competitions.

    America’s Vashti Cunningham is just 19 but is already the world indoor champion and ranked second in the world this year. Thirty eight-year-old Rio 2016 champion Ruth Beitia is competing 14 years after her first World Championship final in Paris in 2003.

    Lovely stuff from British duo Morgan Lake and Katarina Johnson-Thompson, as they both sail over the opening jump of 1.84m. That's already better than KJT managed in the heptathlon.

    She's smiling too. Good to see.
