London 2017: Remaining schedule & odds
Sunday August 13
It's the final night of action at London 2017 which has seen plenty of highs and lows for Great Britain over the past week.
There's unlikely to be any more British golds but 25/1 shot Robbie Grabarz has been Price Boosted to 3/1 from 2/1 by Sky Bet to get on the podium while Chris O'Hare is 12/1 from 9/1 to win at least a bronze in the 1500m.
Laura Muir has an outside chance for a medal in the 5000m and her odds have been boosted to 10/1 from 5/1 while Lynsey Sharp is 16/1 from 12/1 to do the same over 800m.
The action all ends with the 4x400m relay finals. Britain's men and women are both 16/1 to triumph in their respective races, with USA priced up as hot favourites to do the double.

London 2017: Pre-event British medal hopes & their odds
How will Great Britain perform at a home World Championships?
Sky Bet have set the British over/under medals line at 5.5 - it's 4/5 under and 10/11 over.
Compare this to last summer's Olympics in Rio and 5.5 is under the performance there. In Brazil, GB won seven athletics medals - two gold, one silver and four bronze.
However, two of those competitors won't be in London - heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill (silver) is now retired, while long jumper Greg Rutherford (bronze) is injured.
As for gold medals, the line is at 1.5, although over is a firm favourite at 4/9. Under is 13/8.
Here are the Brits to look out for...
Mo Farah - men's 10,000m - 1/16 to medal & 1/3 for gold; men's 5,000m - 1/16 to medal & 2/5 for gold
Farah has already completed four 5,000m-10,000m doubles at global level, beginning his run at the London 2012 Olympics in this very stadium. He added World golds in both events in Moscow in 2013 and Beijing in 2015 and successfully defended both Olympic titles in Rio last summer. 2017 is his track swansong and what better way to go out than by winning in front of a home crowd? He’s very much expected to do so – it’s just 8/11 that he wins double gold for a fifth time in a global championships.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson - women's heptathlon - 4/9 to medal & 9/1 for gold
Jessica Ennis-Hill may have now retired but Johnson-Thompson is a bona fide world-class heptathlete ready to fill her shoes. The Liverpudlian’s hopes at the last two major championships have unravelled in the field events – she failed to register a mark in the long jump at the Worlds two years ago (usually a strong event) while at the Rio Olympics it was the shot and javelin which let her down. She did, however, set a British record in the high jump and since Rio has set up base in the south of France in a bid to improve her all-round performance. Odds-on to medal, KJT will do well to overhaul hot favourite for gold, Nafissatou Thiam.
Laura Muir - women's 1,500m - 4/1 to medal & 12/1 (Price Boost) for gold; women's 5,000m - Muir odds not yet available
Is this the year for the Scot to deliver a global medal for GB? She finished fifth in the 1,500m the last World Championships in Beijing and last summer it was seventh in Rio. Another final appearance will be expected by a runner who broke Kelly Holmes’ national record last year and if that scenario unfolds, Muir will fancy her chances. The bookies have this as one of the most open women’s track events. She is also likely to go in the 5,000m, her weaker event, but one in which she has still impressed.
London 2017: GB’s outside chances
Andrew Pozzi – men’s 110m hurdles - 11/2 to medal
The 110m hurdler will seek redemption in the London Stadium for it was at the venue in 2012 that his Olympic dream turned sour. Coming in injured, he tried to compete but was unable to finish his opening race. At his best, Pozzi could contend for a medal, although the likelihood is he’ll need others to underperform if that is to happen.
Robbie Grabarz – men’s high jump - 7/1 to medal
In contrast to Pozzi, Grabarz has fond memories of London 2012 when he collected a surprise bronze medal – a fine example of a home athlete raising their level. Jumped 2.31m earlier this year (higher than his London 2012 leap) and a repeat could earn more silverware. Clear world-leader Mutaz Essa Barshim, of Qatar, is the man to beat.
Sophie Hitchon – women’s hammer - 8/1 to medal
Produced a British record throw in Rio last summer as she claimed GB’s first-ever global medal in the women’s hammer. Will look to repeat her heroics on home soil but it’s hard to see her winning gold. That honour looks set to go to Poland’s Anita Wlodarczyk, who has thrown 6m further than anyone else in 2017.
4x100m & 4x400m relays - odds not yet available
GB can usually be relied upon for a relay medal or two. They claimed a couple in Rio with both the women’s sprint and one-lap teams striking bronze. There will be no Christine Ohuruogu in the latter line-up this time though. The men’s 4x100m team have traditionally been competitive - when they've got the baton round.

London 2017: Stars to shine
Usain Bolt – men's 100m - 4/11 for gold
Can it really be nine years ago that Usain Bolt raced to global superstardom with 100m victory – in 9.69secs – at the Beijing Olympics? The Jamaican has transcended athletics, indeed sport, ever since and he is now the owner of no fewer than 19 World and Olympic gold medals. London 2017 will see him bring the curtain down on a memorable career and this time around he will not run in the 200m. Still, he is a hot (4/11) favourite for the Blue Riband event, the 100m, this despite running ‘only’ 9.95secs this year – his slowest time heading into a championships in a decade. Compatriot Yohan Blake is rated his closest challenger at 5/1 with Justin Gatlin a 11/2 chance. For those wondering, Chijindu Ujah (7/1) is considered the Briton most likely to medal. He has been under 10 seconds this year. Bolt will also compete in the sprint relay and he's just 10/11 to head into retirement with two more gold medals.
Wayde van Niekerk – men's 200m - 8/13 for gold; men's 400m - 1/8 for gold
Arguably the man set to take over Bolt’s mantle as king of the athletics world, van Niekerk attempts the rarely-achieved 200-400m double in London – and he’s favourite in both events. He’s just 1/8 for the 400m, the event in which he is the reigning World and Olympic champion. It was in Rio last summer where the South African rewrote the record books with his stunning run of 43.03secs wiping out Michael Johnson’s remaining world record. Johnson, a legend of the sport, completed the 200-400m double at the 1995 World Championships and the 1996 Olympics. With van Niekerk odds-on to win the 200m as well, his could be the story of the championships.
Elaine Thompson – women's 100m - 1/7 for gold
Thompson won’t get the same billing as her fellow Jamaican 100m star Usain Bolt but she’s been more dominant than him this season. Like Bolt, she’s the reigning Olympic champion over both 100m and 200m but, like Bolt, she’ll only run over the shorter distance in London. She’s easily the fastest woman in the world over 100m in 2017 – more than a tenth of a second quicker – and she looks one of the banker bets for the meeting, as odds of 1/7 suggest.
Nafissatou Thiam – heptathlon - 1/10 for gold
The Belgian proved herself the best all-round female athlete in the world at last year’s Olympics, beating Jessica Ennis-Hill into second place. She’s since become only the fourth woman in history to break the 7,000-points barrier for the seven-discipline event and at 1/10 is a red-hot favourite to see off all-comers, including Britain’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson, in London.
Caster Semenya – women’s 800m - 1/6 for gold
Controversy followed Semenya’s victory at the 2009 World Championships after which she was the subject of unedifying comments from fellow competitors and subsequent media coverage. She was subjected to gender tests and could not compete internationally for months. Eight years on, she’ll seek a second world title and arriving in London as the reigning Olympic champion few would bet against her - she is another of the big meeting favourites.
Hottest favourites
The real bankers of the meeting both come in the hammer events. Both are Poles and the odds suggest they might as well hand over the gold medals now. Pawel Fajdek will be chasing a hat-trick of world titles in London and is just 1/20 to win gold having dominated his event in 2017. However, his compatriot Anita Wlodarcyzk, with whom he shares a coach, is an even hotter favourite in the women’s event (1/25). She has thrown more than 6m further than anyone else this season. A word of warning though. Fajdek failed to even qualify for the Olympic final last year.
