Recap on all the action from day three of the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.

22:25 BST - What an incredible end to the third day of these championships, with Sha'Carri Richardson storming home to be crowned world's fastest woman for the first time.

Despite the bitter disappointment at missing out on a medal for Dina Asher-Smith, we could be in for a treat on Tuesday with Melissa Courtney-Bryant, Laura Muir and Katie Snowden all vying for podium places in the women's 1,500m final - as Jessie Knight and Matthew Hudson-Smith battle it out to qualify from their respective semi-finals.

Join us again then!

21:15 BST - While the dust settles on Richardson's sensational victory, Britain's Molly Caudery has been giving her reaction to reaching the final of the pole vault - where she will also bid for her first world title.

"I never thought it was going to take a 4.65m jump to reach the final but it did," she said. "It is my second highest jump ever so I am very happy. 

"Getting into a world final is something I have dreamed of for years. It is just huge! It’s been the goal all year, so I am so pleased to have achieved it."

It wasn't such good news for Holly Bradshaw, however, as the 31-year-old collapsed in tears after failing to clear 4.35m and bowed out.

"I felt quite good coming into this, I had some good sessions but I picked up some stomach bug last Thursday and I was being sick all night," she said. "I've not trained since as I've tried to conserve my energy. I just never got my strength back.

"I tried my best but you can't compete with the best in the world if you are not fully firing. It's disappointing."

And there was further disappointment from Dina Asher-Smith who failed to add to her world championship bronze in 2019.

20:57 BST - Sha'Carri Richardson wins it! She looks stunned but clocks 10.65 - a championship record - to win her maiden world title! The 23-year-old, who was banned from Tokyo 2020 after testing positive for marijuana, flew-off from the outside lane and never looked back.

Shericka Jackson crosses the line to take silver with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce the bronze in a season's best time. Dina Asher-Smith fell away to finish eighth.

Gold: Sha'Carri Richardson (USA), 10.65 CR

Silver: Shericka Jackson (JAM), 10.72

Bronze: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (JAM), 10.77 SB

Richardson addresses the media after her win: "I'm here. I'm the champion," she said. "I told you all. I'm not back, I'm better!"

20:50 BST - It's the final of the women's 100m up next. British hopes are on Dina Asher-Smith in lane two. Can she match Zharnel Hughes' bronze from yesterday? It's going to be tough...

There was some confusion as to whether Poland's Ewa Swoboda - who was 0.001 slower than Asher-Smith in the semi-final - was quick enough to make the starting line-up, but she does. 

They will line-up as follows: Ewa Swoboda, Dina Asher-Smith, Brittany Brown, Shericka Jackson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Julien Alfred, Marie-Josee Ta Lou, Tamari Davis and Sha'Carri Richardson.

It's going to be fast.

20:43 BST - Grant Holloway has just won the men's 110m hurdles to be crowned world champion for the third consecutive time!

The Olympic silver medallist at Tokyo 2020 dominated from the start and ran a season's best 12.96 to finish ahead of Jamaica's Hansle Parchment who clocked 13.07. Holloway's US teammate Daniel Roberts came third on 13.09.

Holloway is simply unstoppable in these finals!

20:42 BST - Daryll Neita has told reporters of her disappointment at not reaching the women's 100m final.   

"I am in great shape but I don’t know what I did wrong," she said. "It’s crazy to be honest. Watching the replay I don't see what I did majorly wrong, I just feel like I wasn’t fast enough.

"I will go back and review it. I didn’t run fast enough to be in that final which is a surprise to me because I should be in that final. I came here to be in that final and the fact that I am not is just super disappointing."

20:37 BST - A huge roar erupts in the stadium as Daniel Ståhl breaks the championship record to win the discus throw with his final attempt - an enormous 71.46m - to finish ahead of Kristjan Čeh, who thought his 70.02m - thrown moments earlier - was enough to win it. Wow.

Ståhl runs to his family and soaks up the admiration of the crowd.

Bronze: Mykolas Alekna (LTU), 68.85

20:25 BST - Britain's Ama Pipi and Victoria Ohuruogu have both failed to qualify for the women's 400m final after finishing fourth in their respective heats. A huge blow for GB.

20:15 BST - Hugues Fabrice Zango has successfuly defended his world title in the triple jump. The Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist leapt 17.64 to clinch gold, with Cuba's Lázaro Martinez and Cristian Nápoles winning silver and bronze respectively.

20:10 BST - We're underway in the heats for the women's 400m semi-finals with GB's Ama Pipi and Victoria Ohuruogu both setting their sights on the final.

Remember it's the top two who go through automatically, along with the two fastest runners-up.

19:53 BST - After a false start they're away! It's a battle for the line and Asher-Smith crosses over on 11.01 in third. She looks away in disgust at her time on the big screen - but don't worry! It's enough - she's made the final!

19:52 BST - The final heat sees Dina Asher-Smith bid to reach the 100m final.

19:46 BST - Molly Caudery will be in the final of the pole vault as her 4.65m is just enough to qualify inside the top six, but it's a bitter blow for Holly Bradshaw who could only manage 4.35m and crashes out, as she finished joint-16th.

19:38 BST - Daryll Neita faces an axious wait to see if she has done enough to reach the final. She finished fifth, clocking 11.03, and might go through as one of the two fastest runners-up. It was a fierce heat (see 14:15) with Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce and Tamari Davis of the USA both reaching for the final.

But in the very next heat Poland's Ewa Swoboda clocks 11.01 and takes Neita's place. Heartbreak.

19:33 BST - The semi-finals of the women's 100m is about to start. Can Daryll Neita and Dina Asher-Smith both reach tonight's final? We're minutes away from finding out...

19:25 BST - Britain's Tade Ojora has said a slow start cost him dear as he crashed out of the men's 110m hurdles.

"It is what it is, but not what I wanted. Not at all," he said. "I didn’t execute my race, that’s on me. I knew that if I didn’t get out hard at the start it would be more difficult to get back into the race and I didn’t get out hard so very disappointing.

"I am going to learn a lot from that, and come back next year way better. Any mistake will be penalised and punished. I made a big mistake at the start and I got punished for it."

19:16 BST - A delighted Jessie Knight has been speaking after winning her heat to qualify for the semi-finals of the 400m hurdles, and warned her rivals that she will be at her best to reach Wednesday's final.

"I’m really happy because the aim was to run it as a one off race and try and win," she said. "I think it does good for your confidence going through the rounds. 

"I have felt a bit rusty because I haven't raced since the London Diamond League, so I am hoping tomorrow I will feel even sharper."

"I will need a PB to reach the final, 100 per cent. I know I can do it. I have run 54.09 this year and I think tomorrow is the day to go even quicker."

19:08 BST - Despair for Tade Ojora who finished fifth in his 400m hurdles heat and misses the semi-final cut, clocking 13.43.

19:03 BST - The heats for the men's 110m hurdles is about to get underway with three-time British champion Take Ojora taking his place in the opening heat. It's highly likely he will need to improve on his personal best 13.26 to stand any chance in finishing in the top two, who will qualify automatically.

18:57 BST - Roshawn Clarke (JAM) has just broken the U21 world record in the men's 400m hurdles heat. The 19-year-old clocked 47.34 to reach the semi-finals.

18:24 BST - Joy for GB's Jessie Knight who powers down the final straight to reach the 400m hurdles semi-final, winning her heat on 54.27, +0.13 ahead of USA's Shamier Little. She made it look so easy!

18:15 BST - Holly Bradshaw fails to clear two attempts at 4.35 in the pole vault. She has one jump left, and under huge pressure delivers. That was nervy. No such worries for Molly Caudery who clears the same height at the first attempt.

17:49 BST - Qualification for the women's 400m hurdles is about to start with GB's Jessie Knight - looking to qualify for the semi-finals - in heat five.

The first four in each heat will go through, along with the next fastest four.

17:43 BST - After a slight delay we're underway in the women's pole vault and the opening height of 4.20m. Each round will increase until 4.65 - the minimum standard to make the final.

17:20 BST - The evening's first event - qualification for the women's pole vault - is 20 minutes away and the athletes have been warming up. British hopes will rest on Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Holly Bradshaw and Commonwealth Games silver medallist Molly Caudery, and whether they can make it through to Wednesday's final.

As well as the various qualifiers and semi-finals tonight, there will be four finals: the men’s triple jump, discus throw, 110m hurdles and the women’s 100m rounding off the evening.

As ever, we will bring you the latest news as it breaks.

17:10 BST - It's a hot and humid evening in the captial. How will this affect the athletes tonight?

16:50 BST - We are around 50 minutes from the start of the evening session in Budapest and Katarina Johnson-Thompson has just been awarded her heptathlon gold medal from World Athletics president Seb Coe during a ceremony near the banks of the Danube.

The Union Flag is raised and the British national anthem rings out for the first time during these championships. Will this be the first of many?

Collecting his medal next is Zharnel Hughes who stormed to win bronze in the men's 100m final last night. He embraces gold medallist Noah Lyles who is in tears. The duo will be battling it out for the 200m and 4x400m relay later in the week.

14:15 BST - The startlist for the women's highly-anticipated 100m is out and Daryll Neita will face almighty challenge from Jamaica's two-time Olympic gold medallist and five-time world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce as well as USA's Tamari Davis - who clocked a season’s best time of 10.89 leading up to the championships - in the opening semi-final.

Dina Asher-Smith should feel confident of progressing to the final with only Julien Alfred (St Lucia) clocking a faster time than her this season. The 27-year-old will be running in heat three.

Both will be relieved to avoid star-studded heat two, which features Shericka Jackson (Jamaica), Sha’Carri Richardson (USA) and Marie-Josée Ta Lou (Ivory Coast), who are looking red-hot favourites to progress.

The first two in each heat qualify for tonight's final along with the next two fastest.

11:50 BST - Holly Bradshaw will be in the first heat for the pole vault - the same as Tokyo 2020 gold medallist and defending world champion Katie Moon of the USA. Molly Caudery is in the second heat along with New Zealand's Eliza McCartney who has a season's best jump of 4.85m - 5cm shy of Moon's current best this term.

To make the final they will need to jump at least 4.65m or be among the top 12. For Bradshaw, this will mean putting in a season's best performance.

11:30 BST - Welcome along to the third day of the World Athletics Championships in Budapest!

After Katarina Johnson-Thompson bounced back from a ruptured Achilles tendon and torn calf to clinch her second world title and Zharnel Hughes smashed GB’s 20-year-long wait for a medal in the 100m, what do we have in store for British athletes today?

All the action gets underway at the National Athletics Centre from 5.40pm with Holly Bradshaw and Molly Caudery beginning their bids to qualify in the women’s pole vault before Jessie Knight starts her campaign in the heats for the 400m hurdles.

Tade Ojora lines-up in the semi-final of the men’s 110m hurdles with Ama Pipi and Victoria Ohuruogu doing the same in the women's 400m.

Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita will look reach the final of the women’s 100m in what is expected to be an explosive end to the day in Budapest. 

Strap yourselves in!
