9:20 AM ET - Men's 1500m Final

Isaac Nader! What a run!

On the tail-end of a chaotic bell lap, it was the Portuguese star who charged past the leaders as he broke the tape to win by two-hundredths of a second. 

With less than 50m to go, Nader dug deep as he humanly could as he gradually moved past Jake Wightman (GBR), Reynold Cheruiyot (KEN), Timothy Cheruiyot (KEN), and Niels Laros (NED).

Wightman, who won the world title in 2022, had been dealing with injuries in the years since, and is back on the podium after nearly winning it all. The 21-year-old, Reynold Cheruiyot, picked up his first global medal, winning bronze in 3:34.25.

Defending world champion Josh Kerr (GBR) pulled up limping on the second lap and was able to jog the rest of the way to finish in 4:11.

Nader is now the sixth different man to win a 1500m world title in the last 10 years, and the ninth different man to win a global outdoor title in the event in that same span.

8:57 AM ET - Women's 3000m Steeplechase Final

At 600m, a pack of eight has already separated itself from the field, and the three Americans are in the chase pack. Through 1000m, the front pack is right around the world record pace, which explains the early separation.  

Peruth Chemutai, the Tokyo Olympic champion, has gone down after clipping a barrier. With a lap to go, it's Winfred Yavi (BRN), Faith Cherotich (KEN), and Norah Jeruto (KAZ).

The 21-year-old does it! Faith Cherotich separates from Winfred Yavi after the final water jump, winning her first world title on the outdoor oval. Her winning time of 8:51.59 was a new championship record, and a few seconds back of her PB. 

Yavi won silver in 8:56.46, and Sembo Almayew (ETH) won bronze with a PB of 8:58.86.

Marwa Bouzayani finished fourth in 9:01.46, a new Tunisian national record. 

Angelina Napolean was the top American in ninth. 

8:30 AM ET - Men's 400m Hurdles Semi-Final

Nothing too crazy went down in the first semi-final, as Abderrahman Samba (QAT) and WR holder Karsten Warholm (NOR) didn't have to apply too much pressure as they clocked 47.63 and 47.72. 

Qatar made it two-for-two as Ismail Doudai Abakar notched a PB (47.61) in his second-place finish. Ezekiel Nathaniel (NGR) won the second heat in 47.47.

Unsurprisingly, the second and third-fastest men in world history went 1-2 in the third and final semi-final, as the pair clocked 47.95 and 48.16 to book a rematch with Warholm. 

The last time the trio raced head-to-head in a global final in Tokyo, they became the three fastest men in world history, and there's no telling what they've got in store for Friday's final. 

Emil Agyekum (GER) and Caleb Dean (USA) were the two time qualifiers. 

8:00 AM ET - Women's 400m Hurdles Semi-Final

The first of three heats was a quick one as Gianna Woodruff (PAN) lowered her South American record by nearly a second, running 52.66 to book her spot in the final. Jasmine Jones (USA) was runner-up in 53.01 and the other automatic qualifier. 

The second and third-fastest women of all time in the event did exactly what was expected of them, as they clocked 52.31 and 53.14 to move on to the final. Naomi Van den Broeck's PB of 53.65 was good enough for a new Belgian national record as she waits to see if she gets through on time. 

The final heat was controlled by Anna Cockrell (USA), who won in 53.28. Shiann Salmon was runner-up in 54.03, while Fatoumata Binta Diallo established a new Portuguese national record of 54.45 in her fourth-place finish. 

Emma Zapletalová (SVK) and Van den Broeck took the final two spots in the final.

7:50 AM ET - Men's Long Jump Final

Tajay Gayle (JAM) followed up Miltiadis Tentoglou's (GRE) opening jump of 7.83, soaring to an opening mark and early lead of 8.33.

Through the first round of attempts, Gayle is the lone man past eight meters and has nearly half a meter of distance between himself and the field.

---

Almost immediately following that initial update, five more men joined Gayle beyond eight meters, and Yuhao Shi (CHN) nearly tied it, matching Gayle's mark of 8.33m. For now, Simon Ehammer (SUI) sits in the bronze medal position with a jump of 8.30. 

Over halfway through the competition, the podium sits Gayle, Shi, and Ehammer. 

On his penultimate jump, Mattia Furlani (ITA) soared to the lead, leading Gayle 8.39-8.34, as Shi is bumped down to bronze. 

Furlani became the first Italian man to ever win a world title in this event, and the youngest long jumper to ever win this title. 

U.S. champion Isaac Grimes finished 10th ahead of the 2023 world champion Miltiadis Tentoglou.

7:34 AM ET - Men's Javelin Qualification (Group B)

The lone athlete to hit the automatic standard on his first attempt so far is Julius Yego (KEN), who launched it 85.96m.

Anderson Peters (GRN) and Curtis Thompson (USA) notched 'Big Qs', with Peters taking the lead with an insane throw of 89.53m, while Thompson got the job done with a throw of 84.72.

Arshad Nadeem (PAK) moved into third after throwing 85.28m, increasing the total to four automatic qualifiers in the second group. 

7:15 AM ET - Men's 200m Heats

The first of six qualifying heats got the party started for the men's 200m, with Alexander Ogando (DOM) and 400m WR holder Wayde Van Niekerk (RSA) finishing near one another in 20.10 and 20.19. Timothé Mumenthaler took the final automatic qualifier in 20.39. 

It didn't take long for us to see the first sub-20 performance of the round, as Tapiwanashe Makarawu (ZIM) and Courtney Lindsey (USA) both ran 19.91 and 19.95 to notch 'Big Qs'. Adrian Kerr (JAM) took the third spot in 20.13.

Despite a false start scare for Sinesipho Dambile (RSA), the third heat avoided a DQ as Kenny Bednarek (USA), Udodi Onwuzurike (NGR), and Dambile secured their spot in the semis after posting opening round times of 19.98, 20.27, and 20.27. 

After winning bronze in the 100m final on Sunday, defending world champion Noah Lyles eased up before the line as he dipped below 20 seconds, stopping the clock at 19.99. Zharnel Hughes (GBR) and Christopher Taylor (JAM) took the next two spots in 20.07 and 20.26.

The fifth heat saw the fastest time on the day as Bryan Levell (19.84) let off the gas well before the line, running 19.84 ahead of Makanakaishe Charamba (ZIM) and Gout Gout (AUS), who ran 20.06 and 20.23, respectively. 

One of the fastest men alive looked smooth as he won the sixth and final heat, as Letsile Tebogo (BOT) led Xavi Mo-Ajok (NED) and Towa Uzawa (JPN) into the semi-final after the trio clocked 20.18, 20.35, and 20.39. 

The six time qualifiers are Ryan Zeze (FRA), Andre de Grasse (CAN), Aaron Brown (CAN), William Reais (SUI), Henrik Larsson (SWE), and Jerome Blake (CAN). 

7:10 AM ET - Women's Pole Vault Final

Most of the favorites are over the first two bars of 4.45m and 4.65m, including Americans Sandi Morris and Katie Moon, who both only needed one attempt to clear both heights. 

Angelica Moser (SUI), Tina Šutej (SLO), and Amálie Švábíková (CZE) round out the five athletes who are perfect through the final so far. 

In total, eight women are over the bar, including collegiate and American standouts Hana and Amanda Moll. 

---

The bar has been raised to 4.75m, and both Morris and Moon remained perfect as they both cleared the bar on their first attempt. The rest of the field failed to clear the bar on their first two attempts.

Tina Šutej (SLO) and Amálie Švábíková (CZE) cleared the bar on their final attempt, as the field cuts itself in half as the bar is raised to 4.80m.

Katie Moon, the two-time defending world champion, once again cleared the bar on her first attempt, while Morris, Šutej, and Švábíková did not. 

Morris and Šutej both cleared 4.80m on their second attempt, while Švábíková passed on her final attempt at 4.80, ultimately failing her first and only attempt at 4.85m. 

Tina Šutej (SLO) did not clear 4.85m, but did more than enough to win her first world outdoors medal, claiming bronze.

After Morris cleared 4.85m on her first attempt, Moon passed and will have two attempts at 4.90, a height neither vaulter has cleared this season. 

Both women missed their opening attempts, leaving Moon with one attempt remaining. 

Oh my goodness! Moon clears 4.90m on her final attempt, and the bar stays up! Morris, who came close on her second attempt, will pass and raise the bar to 4.95m as she chases the title. 

In one of the best competitions of the year, Moon and Morris win gold and silver for the U.S. while Tina Šutej claims bronze for Slovenia. 

6:30 AM ET - Women's 200m Heats

Through the first four of six women's 200m heats, many of the familiar faces and title contenders cruised through the curve and into the semi-finals. 

In Heat 1, Anavia Battle (USA) led Marie-Josée Ta Lou-Smith (CIV) and Polyniki Emmanouilidou (GRE), as the three athletes all earned 'Big Qs'. The trio crossed posted qualifying times of 22.07, 22,39, and 22.92, respectively. 

Heat 2 featured a dominant run from Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, the American star who recently won her first 100m world title. Jefferson-Wooden stopped the clock at 22.24, while Thelma Davies (LBR) and Jessika Gbai (CIV) clocked 22.76 and 22.81 as they secured their spot in the next round.

Mckenzie Long (USA) and Ashanti Moore (JAM) battled it out in Heat 3, crossing the line in 22.51 and 22.57, with Sophia Junk (GER) finishing third in 22.81.

Brittany Brown kept the good times rolling in Heat 4, breaking the tape in 22.50, followed by Anthoninque Strachan (BAH) and Daryll Neita (GBR) in 22.57 and 22.59, the only other two women under 23 seconds in the heat. 

The penultimate heat was dominated by two-time world champion Shericka Jackson (JAM), as she cruised to a comfortable win in 22.22. The Jamaican was joined by Amy Hunt (GBR) and Imke Vervaet (BEL), who finished second and third in 22.57 and 22.74.

The final qualifying belonged to experienced global medalist, Dina Asher-Smith (GBR), who kept it in cruise control as she ran 22.40 in the heat win. Torrie Lewis (AUS) and Jaël Bestué (ESP) finished second and third in 22.56 and 22.74, with the former notching a lifetime best. 

In addition to the 18 automatic qualifiers, Audrey Leduc (CAN), Julia Henriksson (SWE), Helene Parisot (FRA), Abigeirufuka Ido (JPN), Olivia Fotopoulou (CYP), and Miriam Sánchez (MEX) make up the six additional time qualifiers.

The semi-finals will be contested towards the end of tomorrow's evening session at 8:24 a.m. ET. 

6:10 AM ET - Men's Javelin Qualification (Group A)

The first of two qualifying sections for the men's javelin already has two finalists who punched their tickets on one of their first two jumps. Julian Weber (GER) and Neeraj Chopra (IND) threw 87.21m and 84.85m, respectively, as they take care of business early.

---

Dawid Wegner (POL) threw a lifetime best of 85.67 to take the third automatic qualifying spot out of Group A. 

6:05 AM ET - Men's Triple Jump Qualification 

The first round of the men's triple jump is underway, and up to this point, just two men have hit the auto-qualifying mark for the final. In Group A, Yasser Mohammed Triki (ALG) leads the way with a 17.26m jump on his first attempt, while Jordan Scott (JAM) jumped 17.19m in Group B for the other 'Big Q'. 

Those two remained the only men to hit the automatic qualifying mark and will be joined by ten others in the final on Friday.
