Botswana's Isaac Makwala will run an individual time trial in an attempt to qualify for the 200m semi-finals at the World Championships in London.

Makwala missed the 200m heats and the 400m final as he was barred from competing for 48 hours while organisers tried to halt a norovirus outbreak.

The 30-year-old came out of quarantine at 14:00 BST on Wednesday, and will run a qualification race at 18:40.

The 200m semi-finals take place at 20:55 at London Stadium.

Good. The whole situation has been a bit of a farce but at least he's gotten a chance to compete, it must have been awful to feel you didn't get a chance.

After a series of shocking press ups the IAAF have DQ'd him.

Well done son

Always thought that Jazmin Sawyers is a little short to be competing for the long jump, surely?

Clarke, the British steeple chaser, is having an absolute mare here.

Van Niekerk scrapes through to the 200m final as fastest loser.

Hazell · « **Reply #375 on:** August 9, 2017, 09:25:29 pm »

He looked a little spent in that race unsurprisingly. Could be a really tight final tomorrow.

Looking forward to Allyson Felix in the 400m final. One of my favourite athletes to watch, love her technique.

Any Brits make the 200m final?

Must have been told of the latest Barca bid for Coutinho and it rattled him a bit.

Evening everyone. Fantastically awful weather today.

The Yanks have been handed gold medals on a plate by others either making mistakes or underperforming.

Hazell · « **Reply #399 on:** August 9, 2017, 09:57:24 pm »

Dang, wanted Felix to win. I think that's it for her now.

Also, never seen a young person named Phyllis before, they're usually in their 50's.
