    Both of them smashed the old world record! No wonder he rips his shirt apart - he is Superman in this event!

    Incredible performance from both of them, but he is the champion. 45.94!

    I cannot believe what we've just seen. Two men running times you could only dream of. Dos Santos was nearly within the old world record and he was third - he was miles back.

    Both Karsten Warholm and Rai Benjamin ran quicker than Warholm's previous world record in that final.

    That was absolutely ridiculous.

    The Norwegian stormed out the blocks and established a decent advantage, but Benjamin threatened to claw him back before Warholm's final push.

    Belgium 5-2 India

    Alexander Hendrickx scored his third hat-trick of the tournament as world champions Belgium beat India 5-2 to book their place in the final of the men's hockey competition.

    Loick Luypaert put the world number two Belgians ahead but India were 2-1 up at the end of the first quarter, thanks to goals by Harmanpreet Singh and Mandeep Singh.

    But Hendrickx smashed home two penalty corners and a late penalty stroke - his 14th goal of the tournament - before John-John M Dohen completed the win in the final seconds with India's goalkeeper off the pitch.

    Australia play Germany in the other semi-final at 11:00 BST.

    It's all over for GB's Jazmin Sawyers, though, who could not improve on her second round leap of 6.80m.

    GB's injured Adam Gemili: "My last block start before I went into the cool room, I just felt my hamstring go. I'm in so much pain. I said: 'Just strap it up and let me go out there to at least try.' Because you have to try.

    "I can't believe it, I can't believe this has just happened. I felt like I had such a good chance as well. I've been training so well. This season's been really up and down and I'd finally put together five weeks of solid work, I was ready to go out there and win, to try and get a medal, at least a PB. I don't get that chance now. It's the worst feeling in the world."

    BBC One

    Deborah Kerr speaking on BBC One: "There were two girls either side of me that I knew were going to be the winners. I knew it going to be tough, but I'm really proud I've made it in. It proves that all the hard work I've done was worth it and we're getting there.

    "There were a few big hitters missing from the World Cup (where Kerr won Bronze), Australia weren't there, New Zealand weren't there, so it was - not easier, it was a hard competition - but there was more leeway for me. It was nice to be at the front though, I hadn't felt that for a while. It was good practice coming into here, where you have to be top two to get into the next stage, so that was important."
