There are five gold medals up for grabs today, with Scotland's
Liz McColgan leading the British challenge in the women's 10,000m. Her single-minded approach brought her a silver medal in the Seoul Olympics.
The Dundee-born runner has since had a baby, but she approached the World Championships in ideal fashion by winning the 3,000m at the Weltklesse Grand Prix in Zurich earlier this month. It is the semi-final stage in the men's 1500m, with Peter Elliott , Steve Cram , who is rapidly improving after injury, and Matthew Yates looking to progress to
Sunday's final. The men's long jump final features a man unbeaten in ten years and nearly 70 competitions, Carl Lewis.

Pictures at an Exhibition by Musorgsky began its life as a cycle of piano pieces, but has been orchestrated and arranged by more composers than any other musical work. At the last count there were more than 24 versions.
Tonight's programme features a complete performance of Pictures using arrangements by nine different people.
Pianist Joanna MacGregor asks why so many composers have been attracted to this music while Leonard Slatkin, who conducts, will explain how he came to put together this colourful mixture. Pictures at an Exhibition, performed by the Philharmonia, includes one movement by the Proms founder Sir Henry Wood and is linked by a series of interludes called 'Promenades' - a true Promenade Concert.
