    Josh Kerr pipping Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen was one of the moments of these championships.

    It was also the second year in a row he had been unexpectedly beaten by a Briton in a World final.

    There are no Brits in tonight's 5,000m final, which is the first race on track, but the Norwegian defending champion will have to overcome the fastest man over 5,000m this year, Ethiopia’s Berihu Aregawi.

    Aregawi's compatriot Yomif Kejelcha, a two-time world indoor 3000m champion, Olympic silver medallist Mo Ahmed of Canada, Spain’s European record holder Mohamed Katir and Kenya’s World silver medallist Jacob Krop are also contenders.

    Morgan Lake goes through her routine, whirling her hands at the top of her run-up before clapping as if she's catching a pesky fly.

    It's a lovely start from the Briton as she, like all but two of her rivals so far, successfully clears this opening height of 1.85m.

    She looks great. She feels confident. I'm feeling really positive about Morgan tonight

    Well, it's been quite the championships, hasn't it?

    We've had world-class competition, star performances, endless drama and even unexpected buggy crashes.

    Day nine looks set up to provide a fitting finale to nine memorable days in Budapest.

    Great Britain's team have enjoyed their fair share of success, winning seven medals in all after the women's 4x100m quartet took bronze last night.

    They received their medals a short while ago in front of a packed crowd at the hugely popular medal plaza.

    That leaves GB within reach of their record haul of 10 achieved 30 years ago.

    Among their hopes tonight, Keely Hodgkinson will bid for her first global title in the women's 800m final, which has been one of the most anticipated races of the whole competition. It is absolutely not one to miss.

    I don't think Keely Hodgkinson will want to go as quick as Athing Mu through the first 200m. If she does that, she will pay for that. She needs to run her own even paced race.

    "I was just chatting to her in the warm-up area. She seems very chill. She seems very confident and she's here to get a job done and I think she'll do it today."

    Men's 800m bronze medallist Ben Pattison is in the BBC TV studio talking about his success last night: "Going into the final, I was already a World finalist. I had already achieved that so I don't see why I should've stopped there. Obviously I wanted to win but it wasn't bad getting a bronze in my first World Championships.

    "It was always my dream to be here. Last year, I didn't make the team. I sat at home and I was very disappointed with that. The Worlds is the big one and I wanted to come out here and show that I mean business."

    If Great Britain's Morgan Lake can get up to her personal best - a mark of 1.99m reached earlier this year - she could put herself in the medal mix in the women's high jump final.

    Even then it'll be tough because there are six in this final who have cleared 2m in their careers, a height British record holder Lake is yet to reach.

    Australia’s Eleanor Patterson is the defending champion but she has been hampered by breaking her foot earlier this year.

    That could open the door for Ukraine's Yaroslava Mahuchikh, the silver medallist last year, her compatriot Iryna Gerashchenko, another Australian in Nicola Olyslagers or Vashti Cunningham of the USA.

    Athing Mu is strong and ready to defend her title. There were some questions as to whether she would actually come and skip these championships. I don't think she likes to races a lot.

    I think she is a true champion. She's obviously extremely talented. I don't think there's any indication that she's not ready to go out there and be as good as she's always been.

    Ben Pattison was diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening heart condition. Three years after successful surgery, the 21-year-old became the first British man since 1987 to win a World Championship medal in the men's 800m.

    Afterwards, Pattison stole hearts in his interview with BBC Sport's Jeanette Kwakye.

    This time last year, Victor Kiplangat was in the Midlands winning the men's marathon at the Commonwealth Games. The Ugandan has certainly upgraded this summer.

    In a time of 2:08:53 in the morning heat of Budapest, the 23-year-old won his country's second gold of these championships after Joshua Cheptegei won the men's 10,000m on day two.

    There were no Brits competing in the race which kicked off the final day's action at these World Athletics Championships.

    Where Hodgkinson is most impressive is that she clearly loves what she is doing and she is having fun - but at the same time she is completely in control.

    She has shown a lot of maturity and is better at decision-making and the tactical side of racing than athletes a lot older than her.

    And she eluded to the fact that she has been trying different tactics. That shows she has taken a step up, even from last year when she was second to Athing Mu in Eugene.

    Most people expect Moraa to go out fast and use the tactics which earned her victory over Hodgkinson at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the Lausanne Diamond League in June.

    But I think that would be underestimating the Briton, who will have learned from those past races.

    It's going to be tough but Great Britain have a real chance of medals in the 800m final tonight.

    21-year-old Keely Hodgkinson is the fastest woman in the world over this distance in 2023.

    She has eased through the previous rounds to set up another battle with rivals Athing Mu and Mary Moraa.

    Mu beat Hodgkinson to Olympic and World gold over the past two summers while Moraa pipped her at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the Lausanne Diamond League in June.

    Those three are expected to be the main contenders but don't count out Scot Jemma Reekie, who won her semi-final to qualify.
