ALL THE ACTION (all times BST)
1708: Just watching re-runs of Bolt and it’s making the hairs stand up on my neck. But we need to focus everybody. There are other athletics events apart from the 100m. Oh yes. How’s this for some action tonight. Men’s hammer final. Boom. Women’s 400m hurdles heats. Kate Dennison faces the mighty Russia’s Yelena Isinbayeva in the pole vault final. Whoosh. Women’s 100m. More Jamaican glory perhaps Brits Jemma Simpson, Marilyn Okoro and Jenny Meadows goes in the 800m semis. Women’s triple jump. Women’s steeplechase. And the men’s 10,000m final. What else could you ask for
From white2thecore on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A55872101)"I think Bolt might advance the record by a hundredth or so - but even then only once or twice - but I don’t think there’s any more huge .11 advances in him. He might get close to 9.50 but not beyond."Denise Lewis on BBC Two: “If this medal doesn’t lift the British team then nothing will.”
1657: Ennis has clearly spent three hours in the hairdressers this morning. A cunning little sweep-over, arms aloft, she steps onto the stage and is handed her medal which looks like a notepad by Lord Coe. Hold it together Jess. Here comes the national anthem…1655: “The toughest two days of her life but the best days of her life,” Jess Ennis said yesterday. She is heptathlon queen. What an effort. Britain’s first ever heptathlon world champion. With the third day about to start why not get in your thoughts on 606 or text on Ennis, or Bolt or what is happening in Berlin tonight. 1645: We can’t be having any 100m hangovers today. Do you hear me Bolt is yesterday’s man. Old news. Hold on, what am I saying The finest, fastest 100m race ever. Re-live the glory andwatch the race againor why notsee how Michael Johnson and the rest of the BBC gang reacted.Well worth a watch. More on today’s shenanigans in a minute. But don’t go away. Jess Ennis will be picking up her heptathlon gold medal in about 10 minutes. A sweet sweet moment to savour for everybody.
