    They're both tiring on the final bend!

    Hall has it as the moment.

    Hall's lead is big at the bell.

    Can she hold on? Can Johnson-Thompson hit back?

    The maths come into it now. Now it comes down to just a few points that are represented by about three seconds.

    Anna Hall hits the front hard early.

    KJT keeps calm and stays about 10 yards behind.

    Katarina Johnson-Thompson has already won one world title, four years ago in Doha.

    Hall is looking for her first.

    Johnson-Thompson basically needs to finish ahead, or within around three seconds, of American Anna Hall.

    Hall's strapping goes around her knee, down the outside of her shin and I think there's more around the ankle too.

    Johnson-Thompson, who pulled up during the Tokyo Olympics two years ago, knows all about running with injuries.

    As the athlete in gold medal position she is the last to emerge onto the track.

    The first heptathlon 800m race has just finished. The medal contenders are all in the second.

    American Anna Hall still has that strapping on her left leg.

  13. Halasz aims to delight home fanspublished at 17:07 British Summer Time 20 August 2023

    Deafening cheers ring around the stadium as Hungary's 2019 hammer bronze medallist Bence Halasz is announced to the crowd.

    If he can earn a medal the locals may just blow the temporary upper stand off this place.

    The 26-year-old is going to be well-backed throughout, that's for sure.

    Anna Hall's not going to go out there and enjoy the occasion, they're both going for gold. It's just two laps of pain.

    One aspect that has been really noticeable watching Katarina Johnson-Thompson compete these past two days is how relaxed and happy she has seemed throughout.

    The 2019 champion has well and truly rediscovered her spark.

    A gold medal here, given what she has been through to get back to this position, would be so, so special.

    It all comes down to this. Two laps for world gold.

    Kat's so close to it and she needs to leave everything on the track today and just go for it.

    I've been in some really close races where you have to put everything on the line and Kat is ready to do that.
