Brits in action tonight:

100m: CJ Ujah, James Dasaolu and Reece Prescod
Discus: Nick Percy
Pole Vault: Holly Bleasdale
1500m: Laura Muir, Jess Judd, Laura Weightman, Sarah McDonald
10,000m: Mo Farah

2 hours to go!!

Bolt not doing the sprint double? Does that mean Van Niekerk wins the 200m and 400m double?

Does Katrina have any chance beat Thiam?

Yep Bolt is only doing the 100 and 4x100 relay, Van Niekerk is favourite to do the 200/400 double, especially with De Grasse now injured.

KJT has a chance at medalling but she'll need to PB again to make the podium or for the other girls to have bad day/s. Thiam is unbeatable at the moment, scored the third highest Hep score ever a few months ago, so unless she No Marks/DQs in an event or gets injured, no ones beating her.

At a push I'd say Kat could win bronze but her throws are still diabolical

I'm gonna have a bet on Mo and Van Niekerk to do the double in their events, but I want 1 outsider to go with it to boost my bet. Any suggestions of a non favourite who stands a good chance at winning their event?

Well I got a bet on Catser Semenya at 7/1 to win the 1500m

Also managed to get a bet on world leader Liljiao Gong in the Women's Shot Put at 3/1 but she's now at 2/1 (still think she'll win though, consistently throws 20m+ which will be enough)

Thanks! I'll have a look into them.

20 mins to go!
