• GB’s fancied Sharp misses out in women’s 800m
This time around the fastest man in the world did not go missing. In his first race since winning his fight to avoid a ban for three whereabouts tests Christian Coleman glided to victory in his 100m heat in 9.98sec, despite easing down to a trot, to show why he is a prohibitive favourite for gold at these world championships in Doha.
That made the American the fastest qualifier, with Zharnel Hughes looking the best of the Britons in winning his heat in 10.07sec, although Adam Gemili and Ojie Edoburun will also be in the semi-finals, which take place on Saturday along with the final.
