Spotakova and Vilagos improve in the last throw! 60.68 for grandma, 62.01 for the teenager Szilagyi drops from silver to 4th bc of these two throws.

Adriana Vilagos 60.32 in round five and pushes Spotakova off the podium by 1 cm.

I've seen at least four different versions of Stefanidi's first name - Ekaterini, Katerina, Aikaterini and one I forgot already

Zbaren actually clattered the last hurdle with the front leg but still advances to SF as LL.

Zbaren with some injury at the last hurdle and Forster comes in second with the biggest celebration after the finish

Rooth with a 100H false start but gets away with it...

Adriana Vilagos 59.64 and up to 4th place. Well, she and Tzengko could dominate the javelin in years to come...

Elina Tzengko 65.81 PB in round two! Could be good enough for gold @Makedonas

Women's javelin is set to be at some hilarious level. Only one throw over 60 meters in round one...

Keely H. wins 800! Anna Wielgosz takes a shock bronze!

@maestroI quoted our runners who said why the Czechs were DQ. I checked the official results and Czechs were DQ based on Rule 24.8 which is an illegal crossover change which means impeding another team. Lane infridgements are in the section 17, not 24. Section 24 is for relays & baton exchanges. 24.1-24.3 - technical rules for realys (distance, changeover zone lenght etc.) 24.4 - lane running on first leg 24.5 - baton parameters 24.6 - no gloves rule / permission to leave the lane if baton is dropped 24.7 - passing baton in changeover zone / DQ for passing outside of the zone (more common in 4x100) 24.8 - baton change in lane / not impeding another team 24.9 - DQ for picking up another team's baton if dropped 24.10 - one athlete runs one leg ... 24.19 - DQ for starting to run outside of the zone before baton is exchanged (usually results in 24.7 breach anyway). 24.8 rule reads: 24.8 Until the moment when the baton is in the hand of only the receiving athlete, Rule 17.3 of the Technical Rules shall be applicable only to the incoming athlete. Thereafter it shall be applicable only to the receiving athlete. Additionally, athletes before receiving and/or after handing over the baton, should keep in their lanes or maintain position until the course is clear to avoid obstruction to other athletes. Rules 17.3 and 17.4 of the Technical Rules shall not apply to these athletes. If, however, an athlete impedes a member of another team, including by running out of position or lane, Rule 17.2 of the Technical Rules shall be applied. Rule 17.2 is for jostling/obstruction and/or causing another competitor to fall - not applied here since neither of the Poles actually fell. PS. Yes, I am bored to have checked the rulebook

Ntrismpioti wins gold, Zdzieblo silver and Feige was running all the way to the finish for bronze...

Ntrimspioti is making a run for gold

3 km left and Zdziebło, Ntrimspioti & Feige with a gap over Olyanovska.

Feige with a warning and she's promptly swallowed by the chasers.

Alvaro Martin wins gold, Karlstrom silver walking the last km in the viking hat, Garcia Carrera hangs on for bronze.

Two Spaniards dropped Karlstrom but Garcia blew a tire and is down to 3rd. Martin with two warnings. 3 km left.

13 km done. Karlstrom & Martin & Garcia in a three men breakaway.

Eight men left in the leading group. Two went to the sin bin and Wilkinson DQ.

Men's 20k race walk underway. Sahin in the sin bin after 6 km. Eleven men group leading.

They sure have customized medals at these Champs (Sułek & Ennaoui are hotel roommates).

The entry standards are absurd especially in the sprint races. What is WA thinking? They want to get rid of all the minnows from World Championships? Only the rich & famous can compete?

20 km race walking events tomorrow so maybe Poland gets another medal

Asher-Smith blows it! Kambundji wins gold... bronze for Karstoft

Bekh-Romanchuk 15.02 with +1.9 m/s wind
