    These championships have been held in great spirit - with a great atmosphere at well-attended morning and afternoon sessions.

    The party has already long been under way this evening - inside and outside the stadium. Inside, we have had the dance cam on the go, with lots of excited spectators pulling out moves to try and make it on to the big screen.

    Outside, at the medal plaza, Gianmarco Tamberi picked up exactly where he left off yesterday when he entertained in winning high jump gold and took a splash in the steeplechase water. While the other medallists headed off, he has busy celebrating with the crowd and collecting high-fives as he made the most of his moment.

    But over on the warm-up track, it was all business, with Faith Kipyegon and Sifan Hassan among those preparing for these 5,000m heats.

  2. Rojas aims to continue triple jump dominationpublished at 18:09 British Summer Time 23 August 2023

    Women’s triple jump qualification (18:10 BST)

    Jump 14.30m or come in the top 12 and you are into the final. There are no Brits in the event.

    Group A: The big hitters in this one are 2022 world silver medallist and Commonwealth champion Shanieka Ricketts (fifth to jump), European champion Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk (eighth) – who surprisingly failed to reach the long jump final here, Cuba’s 2022 world fourth placer Leyanis Perez (11th) and American national collegiate champion Jasmine Moore (12th).

    Group B: Force of nature Yulimar Rojas (eighth to jump) begins her attempt for a fourth straight world title. Cuba’s Liadagmis Povea (seventh to jump) has the third biggest outdoor jump this year and is targeting a place in the final after three previous failed attempts.

    Women's 5,000m heats

    We are under way on the track for the evening session with the opening round of the women's 5,000m.

    We have 20 athletes in each of the two heats, with the top eight in each going through to the final.

    Britain's Megan Keith, aged just 21, is among the first 20 to get going.

  5. Gold medallists Tsegay and Kiyegon back in actionpublished at 18:02 British Summer Time 23 August 2023

    Women’s 5,000m heats (18:02 BST)

    There are two heats with the top eight in each progressing. These heats were meant to happen in the morning session but were moved because of the risk of heatstroke.

    Heat 1: Saturday’s winner of the 10,000m, Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay, now begins her defence of the 5,000m title. Others to look out for are Kenya’s 2022 silver medallist Beatrice Chebet and Britain’s recently-crowned European Under-23 champion Megan Keith.

    Heat 2 (6.27 BST): Faith Kiyegon and Sifan Hassan are back in action, less than 24 hours after taking gold and bronze respectively in the 1500m. Brit Amy-Eloise Markovc was the only athlete to compete at five major championships in 2022.

    Women’s hammer qualification – group A (18:00 BST)

    The first of the field events is the women's hammer and if you reach a distance of 73 metres or finish inside the top 12 then you get into the final.

    Canada’s 2022 silver medallist Camryn Rogers (second to throw) and 2019 World champion DeAnna Price (fourth) look to be the class of this group.

    British champion and European U23 silver medallist Charlotte Payne, who is deaf, is 12th to throw.

    Keely Hodgkinson made a winning start to her bid for world gold and 100m bronze medallist Zharnel Hughes also won his 200m heat in Budapest.

    Olympic and world 800m silver medallist Hodgkinson, 21, took victory in her heat in one minute 59.53 seconds. Hughes, who on Sunday became the first British man to make a world 100m podium for 20 years, won in 19.99 secs.

    Dina Asher-Smith, Daryll Neita and Bianca Williams all also progressed in the women's 200m heats.

    European champion Hodgkinson moved clear in the closing stages to qualify comfortably for Friday's semi-finals. Team-mate Jemma Reekie (1:59.71) went through from her heat in second place but Isabelle Boffey (2:01.40) missed out.

    Hodgkinson's expected rivals for gold - American Athing Mu (1:59.59) and Kenyan Mary Moraa (1:59.89) - both qualified with wins.

    "I'm in really good shape and I am ready for any type of race," Hodgkinson said. "I need to trust my race and my ability, I'm not really focusing on anyone else."

    Britain's Jake Wightman claimed gold at the men's 1500m at the World Athletics Championships in the United States last year, but injury has ruled him out of this year's event in Budapest.

    However, fellow Brits Neil Gourley and Josh Kerr are hoping to follow in Wightman's footsteps and secure a world title tonight.
