    Andy Diaz Hernandez dips slightly with his third attempt, 17.78m.

    He is still comfortably in first place with three more jumps to go.

    I don't think I have ever called Jimmy Gressier lazy, but he was lazy there.

    Men's 10,000m final

    Switzerland's Dominic Lobalu, the world champion, gets the silver while Jimmy Gressier of France makes a late dash for the bronze - although he nearly celebrated a tad too soon there.

    Never in doubt! Andreas Almgren of Sweden dominates the 10,000m final to win gold.

    And he breaks the championship record that has stood since 1978 with a time of 27 minutes 23.44 seconds.

    Now we wait to see who gets the other two medals...

    The championship record is on. Andreas Almgren has picked it up. This will go down in history.

    Andreas Almgren is tired now. He has only dropped a second, but that final surge has taken it out of him.

    The bell sounds as Andreas Almgren leads a pack from the front. But they're all a lap behind.

    This is brutal and beautiful from Andreas Almgren.

    He's on his own now. Andreas Almgren is, unless something goes terribly wrong, going to win the gold medal.

    The Swede has got a 50m advantage.

    It gives you a surge of energy. The only thing Andreas Almgren has to temper is there are a few laps to go. If you go too much, then you might pay for that in the closing stages.

    Men's 10,000m final

    The pace being set by Andreas Almgren is electrifying. The pack of five athletes that were sticking behind him has been reduced to four as the Netherland's Mike Foppen drops out.

    And then another two fall back. Dominic Lobalu is the only one who remains with 3000m left.

    The nonchalant look. Andy Diaz knows he is ready to do something special today. That was absolutely incredible.

    Andy Díaz Hernandez has just, with terrifying nonchalance, jumped 18.15m with his second attempt.

    That's just 14cm shy of Jonathan Edwards' 1995-set world record. Replays show Diaz Hernandez had 12cm of space left when he lifted off.

    We might just witness something special tonight.

    I'm not sure how the defending champion Dominic Lobalu is going to hang on.

    Men's 10,000m final

    The field has been split into three groups in the men's 10,000m final. Andreas Almgren has obliterated the pack by charging ahead and only four runners have stuck with him.

    Britain's David Mullarkey is looking lonely as he follows behind on his own in fifth.

    There hasn't been a British medallist in the men's 10,000m at a European Championships since Mo Farah and Andy Vernon did a one-two in 2014.

    The pair also won gold and bronze in the 5,000m that same year.

    Men's 10,000m final

    After a slow start, the pace has picked up considerably in the men's 10,000m final.

    Sweden's Andreas Almgren is setting the tempo at the front and the field has stretched out.

    GB's David Mallarkey isn't too far behind. He sits in fifth after 3000m.

    Men's triple jump final

    Blimey, for a second it looked like we were about to witness a moment of athletics history.

    Reigning world and European indoor champion Andy Díaz Hernandez looked to have made a monster leap which would have broken the 31-year-old world record of Jonathan Edwards - but replays show he narrowly overstepped and the jump is fouled.

    Edwards' record of 18.29m has stood since 1995, and still stands. Just.

    Great Britain’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson, speaking to BBC Sport after finishing 21st in the heptathlon: "It is obviously far from my best. Not the competition I would have wanted, but in a way it is. I finished.

    "As a heptathlete it is not easy to come into a competition not in shape. You can't get knocked out in a heat and go home. It was important to me that I finished. I wanted to do it for them [coaching team and physiotherapist] as we worked so hard to be here.

    "I have been coming here since English schools. I have been coming here a long time and I have been an athlete for a long time. It has been great to experience the stadium.

    "After the initial shock of the hurdles and the 200m. I definitely came back with a different mindset today to soak it all in. I have done so many championships now, since 2012, I have only ever missed one. It is important to me, I enjoy the experience now more than ever.

    "I am thinking of the future. I have always said I want to be competitive. If I'm not competitive, I will start asking questions.

    "I have still got sand behind my nails, my body is still warm. I cannot think about the future too much. I want to be in the moment. Of course, I don't want to be here just to be a participant. The hunger is still there, and I love this event so much."
