World Athletics Championships: final day – live!

The 12 men who’ll give us the 1500m final are on the track: Great Britain has three Scots representing, Josh Kerr, Neil Gourley and Jake Wightman. None of them are getting close to Kenya’s Timothy Cheruiyot.

I should add, all the competitors get three jumps, the top eight get three more, and then there’s a re-rank after five with whoever leads at that point going last.

We’ve got the final of the men’s 1500m at 5.40pm, but in the meantime, Brume increases her lead to 6.91m. Mihambo, who’s up shortly, needs something and she knows it.

And here she comes, with proper pace down the runway, but leaps from well before the board and ends up with 6.52m. That puts her sixth, behind Ese Brume of Nigeria, who leads with 6.83m; Abigail Irozuru of GB is third with 6.64m.

The women’s long jump final is just about to get going; Germany’s Malaika Mihambo is the favourite.

So our finalists, in semi-final time order:

Williams JAM

Ali USA

Amusan NIG

Harrison USA

Brown JAM

Tapper JAM

Vargas CRC

Visser NED

The medals will be decided at 6.50pm UK time.

Away first time and Janeek Brown leads, but Amusan runs her down! She wins in 12.48 and Brown is second in 12.62; Vargas, of Costa rica is third in 12.65 and she moves into the final too, likewise Visser. poor old Anna Zagre of Belgium fell after clattering the final hurdle, but bounced along the track to snatch fifth spot.

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan is quickest out of these, but this is the weakest of the heats.

Cindy Ofili, of Great Britain, comes sixth in 12.95 – she lost her balance just after halfway, which cost her.

Yanique Thompson of Jamaica is third in 12.80, good news for Visser.

First time away and Megan Tapper of Jamaica gets off very well, but Harrison runs her down and those are the two, Harrison in 12.58 and Tapper in 12.61.

Right, off we go with the second heat; Kendra Harrison of USA is the quickest in the race, and she’ll fancy herself for a medal at the very least.

While we wait for the second race, I’m going to think about how much I’d like to go to Jamaica, immediately. Not many places can compare when it comes the holiday mix of scenery, culture, people, beaches, food and drink.

Nadine Visser of Netherlands was third in 12.62 – she’ll have to wait and see.

Williams and Nia Ali cross the line together, Williams just in front – 12.41 versus 12.44.

Two to qualify by right, then the two fastest losers from the three heats…

Hi friends! We’ve got the semis of the women’s 100m hurdles coming up; the first lot are on the track, and Jamaica’s Danielle Williams, the favourite, is among them.

On a less uplifting note, the editorial from today’s Observer:

And here’s our report from the midnight marathon, where Callum Hawkins finished fourth:

We’ve got just about half an hour until three heats of semi-finals separate the best women’s hurdlers from the rest. In the meantime, treat yourself to a recap of yesterday evening’s high drama:

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the final day of what’s been a rollercoaster championships in Doha. Yesterday saw Laura Muir declare that a “cloud” hung over an ostensibly stunning 1500m victory by Sifan Hassan, before Dina Asher-Smith stole the headlines once again with a historic third medal in the 4×100 relay – with the men’s team also taking silver.

Today kicks off with the women’s 100m hurdle semi-final before we move on to a series of pulse-racing finals – namely the women’s long jump and 100m hurdles, and the men’s 1500m, javelin and 10,000m. All that, plus a pair of 4x400m relay finals to finish it all off. Stay tuned!
