Coverage of the fifth evening of action in Athens. Britain will be hoping that 1993 champion Colin Jackson and 1995 silver medallist Tony Jarrett will make it to tonight's 110m hurdles semi-finals and then reach the final. Another world champion from Stuttgart, Sally Gunnell, will be aiming to reach the women's 400m hurdles final. Steve Smith, who won bronze at the Olympics, will be a British medal hope in the high jump.
In the 3,000m steeplechase, Kenya's Moses Kiptanui seeks his fourth consecutive world title, while in the 10,000m Morocco's Salah Hissou hopes to benefit from the absence of Ethiopian champion Haile Gebrselassie, who objects to the running surface. Tonight also sees the men's 1500m final, won in the past three championships by Algeria's Noureddine Morceli.
