Proctor wins silver
Women’s long jump final
What a day for Shara Proctor. She rewrote the British athletics record books as she became the first British female long jumper to go over 7m, as she claimed a silver medal.
Schippers wins gold
Women’s 200m final
So one of the most dramatic moments of the day came in the 200m when Dafne Schippers won the gold.
The Netherlands sprinter became the third fastest in the 200m with her winning time of 21.63 seconds.
Updated medal table
So Great Britain have today picked up their fourth medal of the World Championships with Shara Proctor winning a silver in the women’s long jump.
Lorraine Ugen (fifth, long jump), Tiffany Porter (fifth, women’s 100m hurdles) and Dina Asher-Smith (fifth, women’s 200m) will be ruefully thinking of what might have been.
Schippers shines
Women’s 200m champion
What a night in Beijing. The new women’s 200m world champion Dafne Schippers is understandably a little bit happy as she talks with BBC Sport’s Phil Jones.
“Wow. It’s crazy. A European record. I’m the world’s best. Wow. Crazy. I’m so happy,” screams a very-excited Schippers.
That was about the gist of it. Schippers’ time of 21.63 seconds was the third best of all time. Only Florence Griffith-Joyner (21.34 in 1988) and Marion Jones (21.62 in 1998) have gone quicker.
‘Shara was really dialled in’
Women’s long jump final
American Christian Taylor, who has just collected his triple jump gold, has had a busy night in Beijing as he also was cheering on training partner Shara Proctor, the Briton who took silver in the women’s long jump.
“There were some mental hurdles Shara had to get over and she really dialled into that,” said Taylor. “I was just telling her to be in that moment and build off the energy. It’s a special night and you don’t often get this opportunity.
“Up to the fifth last jump she was in the number one spot. But it only takes one performance and someone else can take that gold. Unfortunately she just lost out but it’s a new national record.”
‘Definitely a missed opportunity’
Women’s 100m hurdles
I didn’t execute my race, I kind of pressed towards the end. It’s definitely a missed opportunity and I’m really disappointed. As a competitor at this level you know when it wasn’t a clean race and when you messed up. It’s 10 barriers, you have to execute every one cleanly and I didn’t. It’s one of those events where you have to learn and grow, I’m going to come back stronger next time.
‘That medal was thrown away’
Women’s 100m hurdles
Darren Campbell
Former British sprinter on BBC Radio 5 live
I have to say it – Tiffany Porter felt the pressure. You’re not there until you cross the line. That medal was thrown away.
‘I made a lot of mistakes’
Women’s 100m hurdles
I’m very disappointed. You go out there to do your best, I tried my best, it didn’t happen so I have to congratulate the ladies who medalled. I made a lot of mistakes.
How they finished
Women’s 100m hurdles
Two hundredths of a second separate Tiffany Porter from a bronze medal.
Porter penalises herself
Women’s 100m hurdles
Colin Jackson
Two-time world 110m hurdles champion on BBC TV
“It was an incredible performance by the other Europeans in the race. It was always going to be a blanket finish so it was no surprise to see it. Porter should not have tried to correct her line. In a straight race if you’re not impeding anyone you won’t get disqualified for leaving your lane. The fact she tried to check herself, cost her the bronze medal.”
‘Agony for Tiffany’
Women’s 100m hurdles
Allison Curbishley
BBC athletics expert on Radio 5 live
Agony. If that was the World Indoor Championships over 60m we’d be looking at a British winner. Tiffany Porter started over striding, losing momentum and the rest of the field engulfed her and spat her out. That is agony. I can feel the pain.
Danielle Williams wins gold, Porter fifth
Women’s 100m hurdles
One of those sisters, Danielle Williams, has the Jamaican flag in her hands. She wins gold.
It is a finish that will haunt Tiffany Porter. The Briton was leading with two hurdles to go, she mistimes it, loses her line and misses out on a medal by the narrowest margin. She falls over the line and crumples in a heap.
She ends up face down on the track and when she looks up she sees that the scoreboard has her in fifth position.
Another famous pair of Williams sisters
Women’s 100m hurdles
There are two sisters in the women’s 100m hurdles final. With Danielle and Shermaine Williams running for Jamaica.
For Britain, Tiffany Porter has a chance of gold, but her younger sister Cindy Ofili has to watch from the sidelines after failing to make it through her semi-final.
‘Unbelievable’ medal for Merritt
Men’s 110m hurdles
Allison Curbishley
BBC athletics expert on Radio 5 live
Russia are having a pretty dismal champs but that man Shubenkov has just made them smile. I must admit I did not see that one coming, he looked good through the rounds but all eyes were on David Oliver. But he clattered the hurdle with his lead leg and that ruined his chances. Everyone was hoping it could be a Hollywood blockbuster for Aries Merritt but to finish with a medal is just unbelievable. He will always smile and come over and chat. I touched his shoulder and he’s got almost no muscle definition, he’s so skinny, because of his kidney problems. You just hope and pray everything goes well with his operation. He is a beautiful hurdler.
It is a frantic session at the Bird’s Nest stadium. Tiffany Porter goes in the women’s 100m hurdles final shortly. But firstly, some more analysis on the men’s 110m hurdles.
‘I’m here, I conquered’ – Proctor
Shara Proctor’s long jump silver
This is my fifth World Championships and I knew I had to compete. I feel like a winner, I don’t care about the colour of the medal. I was told I might not be strong enough. I’m here, I conquered.
Taylor gets his gold
Men’s triple jump
They started the competition slowly but it has got better for the American team. Their national anthem is ringing around the Bird’s Nest stadium as Christian Taylor is presented with his medal. He produced the second-longest jump in history of 18.21m to take his second world title.
Great Britain’s Jonathan Edwards hung on to his world record. But only just.
