SNAPSHOT OF ACTION FROM DAY SIX OF THE WORLD ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Star of the day: Botswana's Isaac Makwala takes the most unlikely of routes to the 200m final. After initially being ruled out of the heats for medical reasons, he gained a reprieve from the IAAF, clocked 20.20 seconds in a solo time trial and then finished second in his semi in 20.14.
Best Australian performance: Racing for only the second time in an injury-interrupted year, Genevieve LaCaze hangs tough to book a spot in the women's steeplechase final.
Upset of the day: American Phyllis Francis claims gold in the women's 400m after reigning Olympic champ Shaunae Miller-Uibo from the Bahamas hits the wall in the dying stages.
Quote of the day: "You've seen it with Usain Bolt, it happens. It would have been nice to see him win but it didn't happen and no-one is going to give it to you - no matter who you are," said British superstar Mo Farah, when asked if he was guaranteed a golden fairytale farewell in the 5000m.
Stat of the day: American Allyson Felix's bronze in the 400m was her 14th world championships medal, equalling the record total set by Merlene Ottey and matched by Usain Bolt.
