Very controlled run from Jess Hull.
She was always at the front, kept out of trouble and then kicked away to win in 4:04.40.
Very comfortable.

Bad news for the Australian pair Delta Amidzovski and Samantha Dale.
Both women are out of contention and will not qualify.
Amidzovski’s best was her first round effort of 6.28m – good enough only for 27th.
Dale’s best was her first round leap too, 6.18m, putting her in 31st.

100m: Torrie Lewis is 10th-fastest qualifier for the semifinals
Confirmation that Torrie Lewis is the 10th-fastest qualifier and will run in tomorrow’s semifinal!
That will get underway at 9:20pm AEST on Sunday.
Julien Alfred was the fastest with 10.93, Daryll Neita second in 10.94, with Melissa Jefferson-Wooden the third fastest in 10.99.
Also worth noting that legendary Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is through too.

LONG JUMP: Aussies struggling to qualify
Samantha Dale is struggling a little in Group B.
She went 6.18m in the first jump and then no-jumped the second. She needs a big one in her last jump.
Delta Amidzovski, meanwhile, also no-jumped her second jump so needs something special in her last effort.

100m: National record no surprise for Lewis
Torrie Lewis has just been speaking to ABC Sport’s David Mark in Tokyo.
“I’m really happy. I’m very satisfied with this and excited for tomorrow,” she says.
“I know it probably sounds a bit cocky … but my times in training indicated that I could.
“I just needed to come out here and get rid of the nerves and do what I’ve been doing in training.”
Great to hear that confidence.

100m HEATS: Ella Connolly finishes seventh in her heat
Unlikely for Connolly to qualify unfortunately, finishing in seventh after a very good start.
She just faded in the second half of the run.
She ends up with a 11.43.

Brilliant from Torrie Lewis!
It’s an Australian record too! 11.08!
A superb start, a brilliant transition and then a powerful finish that takes her into the top three!
That’s a superb from from Torrie Lewis.

She looks so thrilled too! That’s awesome to see!
Sha’Carri Richardson finished first in that heat, but was not a long way ahead of Lewis, finishing with 11.03, while Shericka Jackson ran 11.04.

100m HEATS: Torrie Lewis set to run
World Athletics is having some issues with its live results at the moment – which is not too helpful.
But rest assured Torrie Lewis is set to run in the heats.
She needs to run well here to qualify in a heat that contains the defending champion Sha’Carri Richardson – who is in the lane next to her in this third heat.

POLE VAULT QUALIFICATION: Marschall ready to fly
The men’s pole vault is about to get underway, featuring Aussie Kurtis Marschall.
He looked pretty relaxed in his instagram story and says he’s ready to “empty the tank”.
Good to see!

We’ll keep you posted as to how he goes.

100m HEATS: Rizzo unlikely to qualify for the semi’s
Melissa Jefferson-Wooden gets through first without getting into second gear.
Very easy for the American, running 10.99 seconds.
Kiwi Zoe Hobbs finished in second place and looked really good.
Bree Rizzo just never got going, unfortunately, a step slow out the blocks and was never in contention.
She ran 11.45.

100m HEATS: Three Aussies in action

Stawell Gift winner Bree Rizzo (Heat 1, Lane 8), Torrie Lewis (Heat 3, Lane 8) and Ella Connolly (Heat 5, Lane 2) will race in these heats.

LONG JUMP: Amidzovski gets a legal jump in first up
Delta Amidzovski has jumped out to 6.28m with her first jump.
That’s the shortest of any legal jump in Group A so far.
Each athlete only gets three jumps, so there is not a lot of time to improve, which she will need to do to qualify.
Samantha Dale has also had her first jump

3,000m STEEPLECHASE: Lamecha Girma goes down hard again!
(AP Image)
Another athlete hitting the deck and it’s the world record holder Lamecha Girma.
He is the Ethiopian runner who fell so hard at the Paris Olympics that he knocked himself out on the track and needed to be taken to hospital.
This isn’t as bad as that one, thankfully – and wasn’t his fault either as he tripped over Carlos San Martin – and he’s back up and in the pack again with the race not yet at half distance.
But what are the chances of lightning striking twice?
He has recovered enough to qualify in second place.

(Getty Images)
Oh that’s not good!
Kiwi runner Geordie Beamish went down so hard heading into the final lap but picked himself up and still managed to catch up with the leading pack and then overtook them to finish second!
He took down the Canadian Jean-Simon Desgagnés as well, only he didn’t manage to get back on.
“Jean-Simon fell down and I took a good roll,” he tells World Athletics.
“I couldn’t think for about 20 seconds and then I got up and said to myself that I need to keep going.
“The rest of the field didn’t get far away and to be honest, I was pretty confident that I could catch them.”
Good news for Desgagnés though. He has been reinstated though because the crash was not his fault.
Oh, and Beamish finishes with a bow. Amazing.

LONG JUMP: Delta and Dale leaping for Australia
Qualifying time for the women’s long jump, featuring none other than Delta Amidzovski and Samantha Dale.
Amidzovski is in Group A, while Dale is in Group B.
In order to qualify automatically, both women will need to jump 6.75m, which is well in excess of Amidzovski’s PB of 6.58m, and just 3cm further than Dale has ever jumped before.
If 12 athletes don’t jump 6.75m, then it’s the 12 athletes who have leaped furthest who qualify.
1h agoSat 13 Sep 2025 at 9:16am3,000m STEEPLECHASE: Trippas fails to qualify for the final
(Getty Images)
Such a shame for Ed Trippas, who finishes last in his heat.
That back injury he came into the event carrying was clearly bad enough to really affect him.
He was looking in pretty good shape through the first half of the race, but really started to struggle as the pace went up.
He dropped to the back of the pack with two laps to go and then dropped a long way behind the contenders with little over 600m to go.
Edmund Serem, the 17-year-old Kenyan, qualified fastest in that heat – and covered his face as he crossed the line. I love it.

3,000m STEEPLECHASE: Heat one is underway
Expect this to be a tactical race.
What time he gets is meaningless really because it’s just the first five in each heat.
Trippas is towards the front of a very congested field through the first lap as the whole field safely negotiates the first couple of laps.

3,000m STEEPLECHASE: Trippas aiming to qualify
So, first up for Australia this evening is Ed Trippas, which is not perhaps the most auspicious name for a man about to run 3,000m with four hurdles per lap in front of him…
Trippas, the 26-year-old from Kurraba Point in New South Wales, is coached by Craig Mottram at Bankstown Sports.
He is going in the first of three heats.
SBS are reporting that he has had some issues with his back over the last few days and so is not coming into this race in the best of shape.
The first five of each heat qualify for the final, which will be on Monday.
Australia’s best place in this event ever was Shaun Creighton’s ninth place in 1993.
