  1. Can you keep up with Mo?published at 20:17 British Summer Time 12 August 2017

    No, of course you can't.

    But this video does an excellent job of showing just how fast these elite athletes run. The distance races look almost a jog to the untrained eye. But don't try this at home!

  2. 'Is Mo fatigued?'published at 20:17 British Summer Time 12 August 2017

    The good news is Mo is very good at falling and getting back up again.

    Mo has beaten Edris four out of four times and Kejelcha five out of five times - he isn't going to be that scared of them.

    The difference between Mo and Usain is, Mo is in shape but if anything is going to burden Mo tonight, it's fatigue. That 10,000m was the second fastest he has ever run. It was hard work for him.

    Into PB territory for Katarina Johnson-Thompson as she attempts 1.97m, she's gone 1.98 before but no higher.

    Like Morgan Lake before her, she's not near that at her first attempt.

    The Britons are fourth and fifth. Familiar?

    Mo Farah says he will take "nothing for granted" following Usain Bolt's failure to win the world 100m gold medal as the pair prepare for their final major championship appearances.

    Briton Farah, 34, will retire from the track this month to concentrate on marathons, while Jamaican legend Bolt's last event will be the 4x100m relay.

    "Those boys are coming for me - they are hungry," said Farah, who is aiming to defend his 5,000m title after winning 10,000m gold at the World Championships in London.

    "You could see in the heat, they wanted to prove a point and show me."

    The final championship track race of Mo Farah's illustrious career. Victory here would be a fourth consecutive 5,000m win at the World Championships, but is he tired after his 10,000m heroics?

    Precocious 17-year-old Seleman Barega and Ethiopian team-mates Yomif Kejelcha and Muktar Edris, plus Kenya-born American Paul Chelimo, look to be his main threats. Fellow Briton Andrew Butchart, sixth in Rio last summer, also starts.

    It is one of the most difficult things, to be at the top and have injury setbacks. You doubt yourself and what is possible.

    For Sally Pearson a lot of change has gone on in her life. She started coaching herself and trying to remember what made her great. Something clicked for her at the Anniversary Games and she remembered how great she is.

    "As soon as she started enjoying herself she has been able to perform.

    German pair Thomas Rohlerand Johannes Vetter have pushed each other to new heights this season and look set to battle it out for the title. Rohler went second in the all-time list with a throw of 93.90 metres at Doha’s Diamond League meeting, but in July Vetter threw 94.44 metres – the fifth-longest throw of all time.

    In Thursday’s qualification Vetter threw 91.20 metres, which would have won gold at all but two world championships, with his first attempt.

    She will be absolutely in love with this stadium. An Olympic gold in 2012 and World gold in 2017.

    Keni Harrison is the world record holder and looked unbeatable coming into these champs. But she just can't win a medal.

    She was disqualified at the semi-final stage in Beijing in 2015 and failed to make the plane for Rio having finished sixth at the cutthroat US trials.

    She had 23 races unbeaten until the semi-final.

    Two superb hurdlers to watch here. Keni Harrison, who should win this on paper, she's been that good. But she can make the odd error as she showed in the semi.

    Sally Pearson, winner in this stadium in 2012 at the Olympics, is a pure hurdler. Great to watch.

    Should be a great final. It was a US 1-2-3 in Rio...
