ALL THE ACTION (all times BST)
1707: Brilliant first effort from defending champion Nelson Evora, who nails the board perfectly to open up with 17.54m jump, just 12cm off his personal best for 2009.1703: First up we have the men’s triple jump final, which starts at 1705 BST. Britain has Phillips Idowu, the Olympic silver medallist, and Nathan Douglas leaping for medals, while Olympic champion Nelson Evora is searching for the double. Let’s have your sage-like thoughts and opinions via the medium of 606 (link above) or text 81111 (with the word athletics before your message) on their chances, along with everything else Tuesday evening has to offer.1659: If you missed the morning session at the Olympic Stadium, you can read a summary of what happenedhere.Unfortunately for Britain, Charlene Thomas and Stephanie Twell crashed out of the women’s 1500m heats, leaving Lisa Dobriskey as the sole British representative in Friday’s semi-finals. Poor Thomas lost a shoe during her heat when one of her rivals fell.
BBC Sport’s Tom Fordyce on Twitter](http://twitter.com/tomfordyce)“Walking to stadium for evening’s fun. Memorable stonewash denim/ mullet combos abound.”
1649: Bolt this, Bolt that, everyone’s gone Usain in the membrane. The Jamaican has already cruised into the second round of the 200m, albeit with atired morning run in the heatsat the Olympic Stadium, although he could have at least let Rondell Sorrillo or Sam Effah win so they could tell their grandkids about the time they beat Usain Bolt in a race. He’s back in action at 1755 BST. So it’s about time someone else muscles in on Lightning’s Berlin Love Parade, namely Phillips Idowu and Christine Ohuruogu, who will be leaping/running for gold in the men’s long jump and women’s 400m final.
