jessica will there be a fairytale ending for isaac makwala's championships?ng for a gold medal in the 200 metres. it was on this very track when makwala lined up on the 200 metre line for this remarkable solo time trial that the iaaf granted him. it wasjust him against the clock. none of his rivals around him to spare him on, just him, the clock and the crowd. it was remarkable, the something you rarely see in world athletics championships. makwala was one of a group of athletes affected by the stomach bug going around at these championships. he was prevented from competing. he was refused to race on medical grounds. he went through the solo time trial, required a certain qualifying time. he got the qualifying time. he got the qualifying time. he got the qualifying time which meant he went into the semifinals. he finished that semifinal in second place which means tonight he will race for gold in front of all the fans who have really warmed to him in the past few days. i wish to thank the iaaf for giving me another chance and the crowd is so amazing. they did

in sport, botswana's isaac makwala returned to action at the world athletics championships in london.contracting the norovirus. three gold medals were decided on day six, and there was a shock result in the women's 400m. colm harrison has more. the women's a00m final was seen as a showdown between the defending champion, alison phoenix of the usa, and shaunae miller—uibo from the bahamas. and the latter was on course to add the world title to her olympic gold, but she stumbled with the finish—line in sight, and was overtaken in the final metres. it was phyllis francis coming through to get gold. a first individual medal for the usa relay regular, who seemed as stunned as anyone by her victory. norway got the a00m hurdles, leading from gun until the tape. giving the country their first gold in the event, and the first medal of the championships. and china got the only field goal on offer on wednesday, throwing 19 metres to win the women's shot put. the action of the night began with the bizarre sight of botswana's isaac makwala taking part in a 200m time trial on his own. he was contro

support staff have been affected by sickness at the world championships, but only botswana's isaac makwalaswiss reports. as wayde van niekerk charged to the 400 metres title, the first gold of a potential double at these championships, much of the focus was still on his absent challenger. isaac makwala was told he couldn't compete after his sickness because organisers had to protect the welfare of the athletes, but his botswanan team were left frustrated. we respect the decision if it is based on public health issues, however, it is the manner in which this decision was arrived at which is quite disturbing and, as we have indicated, this matter has been approached in dribs and drabs. we feel very sorry for the athletes that have to be withdrawn from the competition, but we have a responsibility for all of the athletes and if we allowed them all to sit, it's a tight close community and we need to make sure that all of the athletes are protected as well. meanwhile, britain's medal near misses continue, despite the performance of kyle langford's life. bronze just eluding him in the 800 metres

isaac makwala has claimed the iaaf would have allowed the likes of mo farah and usain bolt to compete the botswanan athlete was prevented from running in both the 200 metres heats and then the 400 metres final. that was in an attempt to control an outbreak of norovirus — with the iaaf saying they had to quarantine competitors with symptoms. the way they did it, there is something they don't want to tell us. there is something fishy. it is not that i was sick. what do you think it might be? i don't know. usain bolt is out now. they want someone to be the face of iaaf. well, makwala was one of the athletes who could have mounted a serious challenge in the race to south africa's wayde van niekerk. but in his absence, the olympic champion and world record holder came through to comfortably take gold and retain his title. but he had sympathy for his rival. it is quite disappointing. i believe he would have done very well at these championships. and like i said, i have so sympathy for him. i'll even wish i could give my medal to him, to be honest. england's women have started their rugby wo
