I'm pissing omg

I had to laugh at how OTT the tone of that article is too

[Headie]

Weather looks great in the stadium today

Tonight's a pretty good night event-wise

Gabby really does hate the IAAF sticking the knife in

Perched for her arrest later

Here for Seb Coe gatecrashing the studio and throwing her over the balcony

[Headie]

I hope they actually show us the High Jump qualification tonight seeing as Morgan Lake and KJT are in it

I'd be surprised if they didn't, priority usually goes to events with Brits in them

I know her jump in Rio would've won the gold but what's Kat's chances in this btw?

Well Mariya Lasitskene, the current world champion, has been authorised by the IAAF to compete as a neutral and she's been undefeated all season, jumping 2.06 (0.3 off the world record) so she's pretty much a lock for Gold barring disaster.

I think 1.98 will be enough to medal so if Kat can emulate her Rio performance it could be enough, although after her Hep HJ I'm worried for her, apparently her new coach changed her HJ run up from last year which could explain why it went so wrong.

Morgan Lake jumped 1.96 a few weeks ago so if she does that again she could be in with a chance too, but unlikely

[Headie]

Not YMCA playing in the background

Nice one for tipping me Gong in the Shot putt Hayden.

My bets still riding.

Hopefully Van Niekerk was holding back in the Semis, and will show his class tonight.

Thanks! Fingers crossed then, but I won't get my hopes up too much

KJT is one of my favourite (and hottest) athletes but also the most frustrating to watch

You're welcome I was so happy to win over Ł100 on her

I'm tempted to put a bet on tonight for the 200m, it's wide open IMO

[Headie]

BBC are saying Dibaba is out??

[Headie]

Come on Laura!

[Headie]

Laura run out of it </3

Hope for a fastest loser spot (I think there's 5?), 14:59 could be enough

She looks so tired though

[Alf]

She was maybe a little to young and inexperienced to take on a World double, but she'll learn from the experience for the future.

[Headie]

BBC: "WOW LAURA LOOKING SO TIRED SHE'S NOT EVEN GONNA START IN THE FINAL IF SHE MAKES IT THROUGH SHE'S SPENT"

Laura (in her post-race interview): "I'm pretty pleased with that time, that should be enough to make it through and I look forward to running the final "

[Headie]

Yep Dibaba is out

Good news for Eilish McColgan, she should make it through now (touch wood)

American broadcast just started in the middle of a 5K heat with Molly Huddle way out in front about one mile in... is this live or are we on a delay?

It's live, Molly Huddle went for a fast pace and no one followed

They've just gone through 11 mins now

[Headie]

Why is Brendan Foster bigging up Steph Twell who's clearly about fall off the back of the pack when we have Eilish McColgan at the front of the pack :///

[Macie Lightfoot]

mkay thx hun, we just got a brief flashback of the final 100 meters of the first heat

[Headie]

Welp @ the gap between Huddle and the rest closing

[Headie]

McColgan JUST makes it through as an auto-qualifier

Muir is through too, Twell is out.

Molly Huddle through as a fastest loser I'm pretty sure
