High jump favourite Mutaz Essa Barshim hopes to bring the house down with a Qatari victory

Gabby Logan presents as home high jump favourite Mutaz Essa Barshim attempts to bring the house down with a Qatari victory, and South Africa's Wayde van Niekerk defends his 400m world title.

Gabby Logan presents live coverage as home high jump favourite Mutaz Essa Barshim attempts to bring the house down with a Qatari victory. As Qatar’s only reigning world champion there is huge pressure on Barshim in the high jump final in the Middle East - especially considering his injury issues in 2019.

Elsewhere, South Africa's Wayde van Niekerk hopes to put a similarly troubled build-up behind him to defend his 400m world title.

Meanwhile in the women's 400m hurdles, a new global star could be emerging in the shape Sydney McLaughlin. McLaughlin is nicknamed Syd the Kid but Doha could well be the global breakthrough for the 20-year-old American star.
