The first track and field medals were handed out in Tokyo, big names progressed, but Laura Muir is out of the women’s 1500m
Now for the women’s 100m heats. The first sees the US’s Melissa Jefferson-Wooden win in a time of 10.99. That looked easy for the Olympic bronze medallist. Dina Asher-Smith goes in the second heat. Three to go through, and Asher-Smith makes it, second behind Tina Clayton, the young Jamaican.
The women’s long jump was going ahead while those steeplechases were taking place. Tara Davis-Woodhall, the Olympic champion, makes it with her first jump, of 6.88m. It’s 6.75 to qualify, and the others are having their struggles.
