    Favourite Sandra Perkovic's opening throw is 69.30m! Is that gold already?

    Her best this year has been 71.41m, while 69.21m was enough for her to win Olympic gold in Rio.

    Mutaz Barshim has cleared 2.25m, but that's too much for German Mateusz Przybylko at his first attempt.

    The world record of 2.45m has stood for 24 years. I'm not saying that Barshim is going to break it but, you know, you never know...

    Mo's frustration has been building for a long time. Those accusations were made so he decided not to speak to the press in the build-up and that antagonised them.

    What he is saying, is "if you don't have proof, don't write stories - go away and get the proof".

    Katarina Johnson-Thompson came close to a medal in the heptathlon and the high jump - but finished fifth in both. She's just posted on Instagram to thank the fans.

    Mutaz Barshim's arch over the bar is so impressive. This is the athlete with the best "pop" in the competition.

    This was him in training earlier today - what a statement.

    The only major championship medal Robbie Grabarz is missing is from the outdoor World Championships. Grabarz was one of six men to clear 2.31m in qualifying – a list which includes Rio bronze medallist Bohdan Bondarenko.

    On paper Danil Lysenko looks like a London contender – the 20-year-old sits third in the 2017 world rankings one place behind Germany’s Mateusz Przybylko.

    Both have nailed 2.20m. For context the Olympic gold last year was won at 2.38m.

    Croatia’s Sandra Perkovic is the two-time reigning Olympic champion and is in form. At a meeting in Switzerland last month Perkovic threw a national record of 71.41m, the furthest distance in the world since 1992.

    Perkovic and Cuba’s Yaime Perez possess the top nine throws in the world this year.

    A reminder of how things stand after this morning's walking events.

    Will Great Britain move up the order?

    How many medals will the United States finish with?

    I say Mutaz Barshim cleared 2.20m - that didn't do it justice! He was over it by about 25cm...

    There's been a lot of chat about Great Britain failing to reach the medal target UK Sport has set them.

    The funding body said it expected between six and eight medals from these Championships.

    Currently, the total stands at four.

    The most Britain have ever won at a Worlds is 10, in 1993.

    While the most measly medal haul came in 2001, when Britain managed just two medals.

  15. 'You have been unfair to me'published at 18:58 British Summer Time 13 August 2017

    It wasn't all smiles from Mo Farah today though.

    He has accused sections of the media of trying to "destroy" his legacy over his relationship with his coach Alberto Salazar.

    The Briton has worked with the American since 2011, winning four Olympic gold medals and six world titles.

    Salazar is under investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency. Both he and Farah deny they have ever broken anti-doping rules.

    "So many times, you guys have been unfair to me," said Farah.

    "The fact is I've achieved what I have from hard work. Putting myself on the line, year after year and delivering for my country.

    "Sometimes I find it bizarre how certain people write certain things to suit how they want to sell the story."

    The 34-year-old took silver in the 5,000m at the World Championships in London on Saturday to add to the 10,000m gold he had already won at the London event.

    There will have been more than one sponsor disappointed to see Mo Farah 'only' win silver last night but the athletics legend still took to the skies this morning.

    Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim is the man to beat having won four of the five Diamond League competitions this season (he didn’t jump in Rabat). He also has the top four jumps in the world this year.

    Silver at the Moscow World Championships and the Rio Olympics are to date his best global performances.

  20. 'Thank you London'published at 18:51 British Summer Time 13 August 2017

    Mo Farah bowed out with a silver last night as he was eventually beaten after a six-year reign. He thanked the people, his people, this morning.

    "I'm so happy to finish my career in London...where all started!!! I only ever dream to win 1 Olympic medal..!! Ended up with 10 global titles..!!! Thank you London thank you the people for getting behind me every race..!! I missed my family big time!!"
