    Before we see Dina Asher-Smith in action here's what GB skipper Richard Kilty told me about the sprinter - he gave the impression of being a paid-up member of the 'Asher-Smith fan club'.

    "I think she has the chance of winning two golds - I call her the fastest woman in the world," he said.

    "I think she can take the individual titles at these championships. She's the hot favourite in the 200m."

    The first action of the day, just under way, is the qualifiers for the men's discus. The 12 best go through to the final, or it's an automatic pass for anyone who can chuck it 65.5m. The length of a 747 wingspan...

    Why are the championships here? There are so many hardships created by having them here. I am sure it was very expensive for teams to get here.

    It begs the question: why? If the stadium is empty tonight for the men's 100m final - it's sad.

    World champion decathlete Kevin Mayer says holding the World Athletics Championships in Doha is a "disaster".

    The championships started on Friday but 28 runners dropped out of the women's marathon because of 32C temperatures even though it was held at midnight.

    Crowds in the Khalifa International Stadium have so far been sparse.

    "We can all see it's a disaster, there is no-one in the stands, and the heat has not been adapted at all," the French world record holder, 27, said.

    "There have already been nearly 30 withdrawals in the women's marathon. It's sad.

    "We have to leave reason aside and more concentrate on the passion, because if not I would have boycotted these championships.

    "We haven't really prioritised athletes when organising the championships here. It makes it difficult."

    Women's marathon

    You probably by this stage have read about the events of a very hot and humid women's marathon which was raced around Doha's Corniche.

    Now 28 of the 68 starters did not finish, which in itself isn't hugely unusual, but it seemed some were riled they had to race in those conditions.

    Read the report here.

    So I spoke with commentator Steve Cram today who said that we should also focus on those who actually did finish and coped with the conditions. They included pretty much the best marathon runners in the world including winner Ruth Chepngetich.

    The IAAF has been contacted about whether it will have a rethink of its strategy regarding the walk events and men's marathon.

    ...and it's still hot in Doha.

    The marathon runners are still cooling down from their midnight exhertions but it's time to go from the marathon to a sprint.
