American Masai Russell breaks women's 100m hurdles world record with time of 12.09 seconds
Swiss favourite Audrey Werro wins 800m in one minute 53.70 seconds - just 0.42 seconds shy of the world record - with Femke Broeders-Bol second and Georgia Hunter Bell third
Sweden's Armand Duplantis fails at 6.32m world record but edges out Greece's Emmanouil Karalis in superb men's pole vault

Final Diamond League meeting of the season before the series final in Brussels next week
Men's 400m hurdles

It smashes Karsten Warholm's record of 45.94, set in 2021 - subject to ratification.
That bodes well for the rest of the evening!

What can they produce for the fans here?
Warholm is quickly caught by Dos Santos as the Brazilian gets out incredibly quick.
Nobody can get close to him...
Oh my goodness. What a run this is... IT'S A WORLD RECORD!
Men's pole vault
Image source, Getty ImagesIt has not quite been business as usual - that being total domination - for Armand Duplantis in 2026.
The Swedish pole vault star, naturally, improved his world record to 6.31 metres earlier this year.
But he also saw his 40-event winning streak unexpectedly ended on home soil in June.
The 26-year-old got married this summer, while he has also been working on the official song for next month's World Ultimate Championships.
Having said he remains keen to break his record again before the end of the season, he has safely cleared 5.90m so far this evening.
Women's 100m
Wow!
A hugely impressive victory for Julian Alfred, who edges out American world champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden by fractions with a personal best 10.70 seconds.
They were a class above the rest there.
American Sha'Carri Richardson is third in 10.97, while Amy Hunt clocks 11.04 for fifth behind Jamaica's Tina Clayton.
That is the gap the 24-year-old Hunt must now attempt to bridge.
Women's 100m (19:32 BST)
'Sensational' Hunt's historic European Championships
The next task for Amy Hunt following a stunning performance at the European Championships is to convert continental domination into global glory, just as fellow Briton Dina Asher-Smith managed at the 2019 World Championships.
Next year, the World Championships will be held in Beijing, while there are now less than two years to go until the LA 2028 Olympics.
Hunt has already spoken about the big goal: repeating her sweep of the sprint golds at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
Being competitive in star-studded races like this will only aid her confidence. And this one is really is stacked...
Women's 100m (19:32 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesGreat Britain's Amy Hunt has wasted no time in getting back to business following her historic four gold medals at the European Athletics Championships.
Tonight, the 24-year-old tests herself against a strong women's 100m field that includes world champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, Olympic champion Julien Alfred and Commonwealth champion Zoe Hobbs.
In Birmingham earlier this month, Hunt broke the record for most gold medals won in a single European Championships with victories in the 100m, 200m and both the women's and mixed 4x100m relays.
She returned to action in the 200m at last week's Lausanne Diamond League meeting, finishing in second place behind American Kayla White.
Image source, Getty ImagesTwo American victories in quick succession.
In the field, Jordan Geist produces a personal best throw of 22.53 metres to win the men's shot put.
Then, on the track, Parker Wolfe times his final move to perfection to take victory in the men's 3,000m in a meeting record seven minutes 27.43 seconds.
Next up on the track will be the women's 100m, featuring British star Amy Hunt.
Women's 800m (20:41 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesKeely Hodgkinson did not compete at the Lausanne Diamond League last week
Keely Hodgkinson took the decision to withdraw from tonight's women's 800m because her "body is not quite ready".
The Olympic champion was set for her latest head-to-head with Audrey Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol following their battle at the European Athletics Championships.
On that occasion, Werro beat the British record holder to gold in Birmingham.
"Unfortunately the body isn't quite ready to race again after the European Championships," Hodgkinson said.
"We've made the decision to skip this race and get ready for the next one. Sad to miss it, hopefully see you next year [Zurich]!"
Women's 800m (20:41 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesWhen the start list for the women's 800m race was initially announced, it appeared set to be the race of the year.
But, while Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson and world champion Lilian Odira have since been forced to pull out, it remains the must-watch event of the evening.
Hodgkinson's training partner Georgia Hunter Bell will line up against Switzerland's breakout star Audrey Werro and Dutch star Femke Broeders-Bol, while Australia's Olympic and world 1500m medallist Jessica Hull has also thrown herself into it.
That is the penultimate event of the night, beginning at 20:40 BST.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe wavelights which you will see moving around the inside curb of the track this evening have been set for world record pace in both the women's and men's 800m races.
That means a 55.50-second first lap for the women, in pursuit of the record time of 1:53.28.
For the men, and Emmanuel Wanyonyi - with the benefit of two pacemakers in that non-Diamond League event - there is a target of 49.20 at the bell as they aim to threaten David Rudisha's 1:40.91.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe've been to China, Morocco, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Qatar, France, the United States, Monaco, the UK, Switzerland and Poland during this year's Diamond League.
After 13 meets, many athletes have already sewn up their place in the Final.
But there is still plenty up for grabs. In the women's 800m, for example, while all the talk is about a possible world record it is only Audrey Werro who has confirmed her place in Brussels.
Keely Hodgkinson, absent this evening because of injury, is set to join her in second in the standings.
Among the other Brits, Amy Hunt has qualified for the 200m but will seek to secure a 100m place tonight, while Georgia Hunter Bell, racing over 800m here, has already secured a 1500m spot.
Athletes are awarded points from eight for first and one for eighth at the regular season meets. The top six in the field events, top eight in 100m-800m distances and the top ten for 1500m and long distance events qualify for the Final.
We'll keep you updated with that as we go on.
Women's 400m hurdles
Wow, Slovakia's Emma Zapletalova hits a barrier and falls out of contention at the start of the home straight.
She manages to stay upright but comes home in sixth.
Olympic silver medallist Anna Cockrell takes the win in a world leading 52.13 seconds, with Emily Newnham crossing the line eighth in 54.81.
Women's 400m hurdles

We're straight into the action with the first Diamond League action on the track in the women's 400m hurdles.
GB's Emily Newnham is in this, hoping to do enough to force her way into the Final.
Newnham has enjoyed an excellent breakout season, claiming her first individual senior international medals at the European Championships and Commonwealth Games.
The 22-year-old backed up her Commonwealth 400m hurdles silver with the same medal in Birmingham behind strong favourite Emma Zapletalova.
She then went after Femke Broeders-Bol on the final leg of the women's 4x400m relay, hunting down the Dutch star all the way to the end for her third major medal of the summer.
Newnham once again has world-leader Zapletalova for company this evening, as well as Olympic silver medallist Anna Cockrell.
