Women’s javelin: The defending world and Olympic champion is Japan’s Haruka Kitaguchi, so naturally the stadium is at its loudest when she is announced. She has had a bit of troubling season with some injuries but here is her first attempt … a bit slow on the approach … but she gets to 60.31m.
The automatic qualifying mark is 62.50m or at least the best 12 qualify to the final.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: Thiam seems to peaking now. She is the only one of the five to clear 1.89m on her first attempt.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: O’Connor hits a new personal best at 1.86m on her third attempt! Huge scream of excitement from her! Her coach, who is her dad, was coaching her intently before the jump and it paid off.
Thiam also clears and now all the pressure is on Johnson-Thompson … and she gets it too! A puff of the cheeks as she leaves the matt. All three women dug deep in that final attempt.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: Hall and Dokter clear their second attempts, and that is the latter’s season’s best.
O’Connor, whose PB is 1.83m, just can’t get over it. Thiam also fails to clear, and that is particularly worrying given that she usually excels and racks up the points in this event.
Johnson-Thompson’s run up is poor in her second attempt and she almost clashes straight into the bar. She watches the replay intently to see where she can improve.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: Bar is up to 1.86m. Will this pose a challenge to Hall, who has been far and away the best at this event so far? Big strides as she runs up … and it is the slightest of clips as the bar comes down. Dokter, O’Connor, Thiam and Johnson-Thompson all also fail to clear. Second attempts for the five in this first group.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: O’Dawda’s third chance is the best of the three but the bar still comes down and that is her high jump done.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: Johnson-Thompson clears 1.83m on her first attempt! A little blip at 1.80m does not stop her and she just gets over the bar at this height. Sofie Dokter of the Netherlands also clears on her first attempt.
O’Dawda’s second attempt … she is so close to the bar, almost to her detriment, and the bar comes down. Thiam, on the other hand, flicks her legs up at the right moment, and clears on her second chance.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: Up to 1.83m and it is easy-breezy for Hall. This is her event and she is setting the bar (no pun intended) for the rest of the group.
O’Connor with a great clearance as well but O’Dowda can’t do it on her first attempt. Thiam gets the height easily but she doesn’t get her placement right, and her heel clips the bar on the way down.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: Johnson-Thompson’s second attempt at the 1.80m … better run-up … and a good clearance! O’Dowda’s third and final chance to get 1.80m now and she manages it as well!
Brooks though cannot match the GB pair and she groans as she fails in her final attempt. That is her out of the high jump. Disappointing given her personal best is 1.84m.
Spain’s María Vicente also fails to clear on her three attempts and now has to look forward to the next event.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: Johnson-Thompson a bit flat at the 1.80m, she does not clear. She knows she can do better than that.
O’Dowda’s second attempt is a lot closer. She has the height but she just clips the bar at the end on the way down. Brooks also fails to clear in her second attempt.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: Hall and O’Connor clear 1.80m with ease, great start for both of them after season’s best in the hurdles.
O’Dowda opts for the short approach but fails to clear the 1.80m. Her takeoff ankle has also been taped up, could be a precaution but something to look out for.
Thiam then clears 1.80m comfortably.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: The US’s Anna Hall’s opening jump is 1.74m and she clears it very easily.
Kate O’Connor of Ireland and GB’s Jade O’Dowda clear 1.77m. The three-time Olympic champion Nafi Thiam of Belgium, who has had issues with her federation in the lead up to this championships, clears 1.77m easily as well. So does Katerina Johnson-Thompson.
Talia Brooks of the US drops the bar and will gear up for another go.

Women’s heptathlon – high jump: The second event is underway but it is still unclear whether Pawlett will be able to keep going. It has been reported that she was speaking to medics and gesturing to her head and shoulder.
Anna Hall is the top-seeded high jumper in the heptathlon field, with a personal best of 1.95m.

Women’s 800m: Keely Hodgkinson will be excited to be back in action in today’s semi-finals.
The Olympic 800m champion has been so bored in her hotel in the 35c heat she has even taken to staging playful indoor races with her training partner, Georgia Hunter Bell. But she dusted off the cobwebs in qualifying comfortably for today’s semi-finals in 1:59.79. “I don’t like the rounds,” she said. “They feel awful. They are awful. It was not pretty or fast tonight but I am safely through.”

Heptathlon: Johnson-Thompson is the defending champion in Tokyo and having picked up silver at the Olympic Games in Paris, she is certainly one of the favourites. Here is how she picked up her second world championchips gold in Budapest.
