    A short while ago, Keely Hodgkinson finished second behind rival Audrey Werro in the women's 800m final.

    Speaking to BBC Sport afterwards, she revealed she tore her hamstring at the European Championships last month!

    More quotes from her coming up, but here's a reminder of that great race.

    Wow! Kenny Bednarek of the United States takes the title with 9.85 seconds.

    Oblique Seville started well but Bednarek was right there with him, putting on the burners to beat the Jamaican to the punch by 0.05 seconds.

    Bednarek's compatriot Ronnie Baker crosses third with 9.93 seconds.

    That was tight.

    No British interest in this men's 100m final after Romell Glave and Jeremiah Azu finished sixth and seventh in their semi-final.

    United States' Olympic gold medallist Noah Lyles is not competing either as he has finished his season with an injury. His 9.79 seconds is the fastest this season.

    That leaves Jamaica's Oblique Seville as the favourite, the going looked very easy as he strolled into first place in 9.90 seconds earlier this evening.

    Away we go.

    10.62 is the seventh-fastest finish of all time in the women's 100m, run by Florence Griffith Joyner in 1988 and Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce in 2022.

    Jefferson-Wooden has matched it tonight. She is absolutely fizzing with delight as she shares her post-match remarks.

    St Lucia's Julien Alfred crosses second with 10.74 and Sha'Carri Richardson is third with 10.86 seconds.

  7. Hunt in 100m finalpublished at 19:40 BST

    Women's 100m final

    A month after hitting the headlines as Britain's new sprinting sensation with her four gold medals at the European Championships in Birmingham, Amy Hunt will test herself against the world's very best for one final time this season.

    American world champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden and Olympic gold medallist Julien Alfred were among several athletes who put in impressive semi-final showings earlier this evening.

    There are no medals here - only a trophy for the Ultimate champion. But a strong end to a stellar season would leave Hunt feeling even more positive about 2027 before another gruelling winter of training.

    Hunt is in lane two. Here we go.

  8. 'This is the pinnacle of female sprinting'published at 19:38 BST

    Great Britain's Imani Lansiquot, speaking to BBC One about the women's 100m field:

    "Wow, wow, wow. The girls did not come to play. This is the pinnacle of female sprinting. We are seeing classic showdowns. The first semi-final was absolutely brilliant, to see how close Melissa [Jefferson-Wooden] and Sha'Carri [Richardson] were. I cannot wait for the final.

    "The 100m is such a mental event, it really is sometimes about who wants to win, how clear your mind can be. Those ladies really showed us what's possible when you can do that.

    "[Great Britain's Amy Hunt] should just keep her mind as sharp and clear as possible [before the final]. It's her last 100m of the year, she's so excited for it to be done. She will want to put her best foot forward, you can always say about Amy that she will do that. She'll be consistent and confident. I'm so excited to see what she can do."

    Men's Long Jump final

    Greece's Miltiadis Tentoglou takes the long jump title with 8.35m.

    Bulgaria's Bozhidar Saraboyukov came agonisingly close, missing out by just 1cm. He celebrates the jump with a backflip, anyway.

    Simon Ehammer of Switzerland places third with 8.07m.

    Audrey Werro deserves this, she has been absolutely phenomenal

    Getting close to the world record, and winning in different ways as well.

    That is the mark of a very good athlete. The others are going to have to work out how to beat her.

  12. 'Very, very impressive from Werro'published at 19:26 BST

    Audrey Werro didn't look as though she did anything spectacular - but actually, she did.

    They're all tired, they've all raced a lot. Keely Hodgkinson has probably come into this the freshest of the top three yet still it was Werro who had that left in her legs to just move away.

    Keely was trying to close but Werro had another step she could take it to, even at the end of this hard season, and she comes in carrying all that expectation.

    Very, very impressive from Werro - before you even mention the fall she had at the Europeans!

    Audrey Werro took charge from the start and powers clear in the closing stages.

    Keely Hodgkinson could never get close, going from third to second past a fading Femke Broeders-Bol.

    Werro wins in one minute 55.88 seconds and underlines her position as the world number one in this event.

    It's an emotional victory for Sandi Morris in the women's pole vault, based on her superior card, after both she and Hana Moll cleared 4.90m.

    Keely Hodgkinson chose to skip the Diamond League Final because her body had not recovered physically from her efforts in chasing Audrey Werro at the European Championships in Birmingham.

    Werro will remain favourite to triumph again here, having run the third, fourth and fifth fastest times in history during a stunning season.

    Not only has it seen her assert herself as the leading athlete in the event, but it has also brought her within reach of athletics' longest-standing world record.

    Hodgkinson ensured she made smooth progress in yesterday's semi-final, before Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol finished first and second in the other.

    Each time this trio meets, it is billed as one of the races of the year. Each time, it delivers.

    After a dominant indoor season in which she won world indoor gold and broke the indoor 800m world record, Keely Hodgkinson has been second-best in her meetings with Audrey Werro.

    Overcoming the Swiss 22-year-old is one major problem, but there is also the matter of the fast-improving Femke Broeders-Bol.

    While Werro has run three of the five fastest times in history this season, 400m hurdles world champion Broeders-Bol continues to go from strength to strength in her debut season over two laps.
