    The nonchalant look. Andy Diaz knows he is ready to do something special today. That was absolutely incredible.

    Andy Díaz Hernandez has just, with terrifying nonchalance, jumped 18.15m with his second attempt.

    That's just 14cm shy of Jonathan Edwards' 1995-set world record. Replays show Diaz Hernandez had 12cm of space left when he lifted off.

    We might just witness something special tonight.

    The field has been split into three groups in the men's 10,000m final. Andreas Almgren has obliterated the pack by charging ahead and only four runners have stuck with him.

    Britain's David Mullarkey is looking lonely as he follows behind on his own in fifth.

    There hasn't been a British medallist in the men's 10,000m at a European Championships since Mo Farah and Andy Vernon did a one-two in 2014.

    The pair also won gold and bronze in the 5,000m that same year.

    After a slow start, the pace has picked up considerably in the men's 10,000m final.

    Sweden's Andreas Almgren is setting the tempo at the front and the field has stretched out.

    GB's David Mallarkey isn't too far behind. He sits in fifth after 3000m.

    Men's triple jump final

    Blimey, for a second it looked like we were about to witness a moment of athletics history.

    Reigning world and European indoor champion Andy Díaz Hernandez looked to have made a monster leap which would have broken the 31-year-old world record of Jonathan Edwards - but replays show he narrowly overstepped and the jump is fouled.

    Edwards' record of 18.29m has stood since 1995, and still stands. Just.

    Great Britain’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson, speaking to BBC Sport after finishing 21st in the heptathlon: "It is obviously far from my best. Not the competition I would have wanted, but in a way it is. I finished.

    "As a heptathlete it is not easy to come into a competition not in shape. You can't get knocked out in a heat and go home. It was important to me that I finished. I wanted to do it for them [coaching team and physiotherapist] as we worked so hard to be here.

    "I have been coming here since English schools. I have been coming here a long time and I have been an athlete for a long time. It has been great to experience the stadium.

    "After the initial shock of the hurdles and the 200m. I definitely came back with a different mindset today to soak it all in. I have done so many championships now, since 2012, I have only ever missed one. It is important to me, I enjoy the experience now more than ever.

    "I am thinking of the future. I have always said I want to be competitive. If I'm not competitive, I will start asking questions.

    "I have still got sand behind my nails, my body is still warm. I cannot think about the future too much. I want to be in the moment. Of course, I don't want to be here just to be a participant. The hunger is still there, and I love this event so much."

    I think it is going to move quickly at some point.

    There's a trio of British runners going for gold in the men's 10,000m final tonight.

    David Mullarkey made history in Glasgow earlier this month by becoming the Isle of Man’s first ever Commonwealth medallist in athletics, with bronze.

    US-based Brit Scott Beattie was fifth in that final and ranks second among the entrants on season’s bests.

    Joe Wigfield, meanwhile, was crowned the UK Athletics champion in 10,000m earlier this year with a personal best of 28:56.39.

  15. Can Italy extend medal table lead?published at 20:20 BST

    Men's triple jump final - 20.17 BST

    World and former Olympic champion Pedro Pichardo won this title in 2022 but had to settle for silver two years ago (winner Jordan Diaz hasn’t competed this year).

    Reigning world and European indoor champion Andy Díaz Hernandez produced a world-leading mark of 17.87m at the recent Italian Championships. Fellow Italian and world silver medallist Andrea Dallavalle has cleared 17.42m this season.

    There are no Brits in this final, so we will bring you the result from this event later tonight.

    Great Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson, speaking to BBC Sport about Femke Broeders-Bol changing from 400m hurdles to 800m event: "Femke is a great friend of mine.

    "I would never want to stop someone from doing that. I knew she would be strong.

    "That is an incredible move up. Respect to her and her team for doing that."

    It is every athlete's dream to walk off that track and think that you gave everything.

    Keely reacted to everything and I think she accepted Audrey Werro was a little bit stronger on the day.

    That said, she said she was a bit heartbroken.

    She wanted to win this title, she wanted to win it in the UK, she wanted to win it for herself as well as for the fans.

    It is almost like a new villain comes every single year. She keeps having to respond. So proud that Keely is the consistent one. She has now won 15 medals from 15 international championships. It is phenomenal.

    "We [herself and Georgia Hunter-Bell] push each other all the way. There is a kind of camaraderie and a friendship. We have all worked hard to be here. It is definitely a mutual respect.

    "Everything happens for a reason. I will be taking it one race at a time. I can only control what I can control."

    We wouldn't have said Natalia Bukowiecka was a red-hot favourite.

    We know she has beaten everyone in this race this season. She committed herself, but unfortunately didn't have the legs to hang on.

    Henriette Jaeger was so, so strong. She destroyed the field in the last 80m.
