Highlights of the action on day five of the World Athletics Championships, presented by Hazel Irvine with Michael Johnson and Colin Jackson. Two women's track titles are decided, with American Dee Dee Trotter marginal favourite in a wide-open 400m and compatriot Michelle Perry defending her 100m hurdles crown. The men's 1500m final is another race without an outstanding favourite, while in the high jump Donald Thomas of the Bahamas is aiming to upset the more established names in his first global championships since swapping basketball for athletics. British javelin record holder Goldie Sayers is taking her first steps toward a hoped-for medal by negotiating the qualifying round.
