    Women's heptathlon

    If the javelin stays like this then Jessica Ennis-Hill will have to beat Belgian Nafissa Thiam by around 10 seconds [it's incredibly  complex to work it out properly while I'm watching everything else.]

    Sounds impossible? Well, their respective PBs are 15 seconds apart. In Jennis' favour...

    Men's pole vault qualifying

    Problems for Luke Cutts, who fails in his first attempt at 5.45m. 

    The height for automatic qualification for the final is 5.75m, but if enough athletes don't reach that height, the top 12 qualify. 

    Cutts' season best is 5.70m.
