    Men's javelin under way

    Tonight sees perhaps the most gladiatorial, most primal of the track and field events as the javelin arrives. The men's qualification has just begun.

    For viewers of a certain age it will always summon up memories of a particularly chilling episode of '999' with Michael Buerk. Oooof....

    No Brits in action tonight, not even Mick Hill, so keep an eye on German Thomas Rohler in qualifying. He has chucked it 91.28m this season.

    That's four-and-a-half cricket pitches, end to end. Fetch that!

    There must be some very sporty men and women out there. Can anyone claim 20?

    I think I've done about six. And two since the age of 16...

    Hot and humid in the Estadio Olimpico, a big yellow moon overhead, smoky with the occasional drifting cloud. A skinny crowd thus far despite the presence later on, in the 200m semis, of The Bolter himself. Let's give it time.
