World Championships in athletics

Incredible that in both the women's 10,000 metres and the mixed 4x400 metres relay the leaders crash on the final straight in sight of the finish line.

And end up with nothing!

You could only feel sorry for the Dutch athletes.
It was a very entertaining watch all round. The mens 100 metres will be an interesting event.

Great day of athletics today. Johnson-Thompson put an impressive performance in with javelin and long jump and left herself an easy job in the 800m.

Cheptegei basically sprinted the last 500m in the 10k... Both 1500m finals should be a great spectacle.

We watched the heptathlon on its entirety. So pleased for KJT. Great stuff and thoroughly deserved. Hall was fab too.
