Athletics: We have plenty to look forward to tonight in the Olympic Stadium. The women's triple jump final will be coming up shortly. Then it's the men's 100m semi finals, followed by the men's 1500m semi finals. The men's hammer throw final will be about 8.20pm. Then men's 400m semi-finals before the women's 400m final. The evening ends with the men's 3000m steeplechase final - before the big one: the men's 100m final.
