World Athletics Championships 2025: Kipyegon wins fourth 1500m title, Tinch storms to 110m hurdles gold – as it happened

Faith Kipyegon won the women's 1500m for the fourth time in a row, while Cordell Tinch took the men's 110 hurdles

We're almost ready to start with heat one of seven in the men's 800m. The first three in each heat go through to the semis, along with the three fastest losers. Djamel Sedjati of Algeria, the Olympic silver medallist, is the class of this field.

Hudson-Smith, we learn, tightened up on the bus to the stadium, hence his relatively poor run in the heat. Presumably he'll have taken steps to recuperate and avoid the same problem; hopefully for him, two days was enough to get things sorted.
