1744: Final thoughts from Michael Johnson: "This championships is a great stepping stone for athletics. It has been down in the dumps but it's a real step in the right direction. With Usain and all the other great performances, you see so many people with Jamaican flags that aren't Jamaican - they are proud to be supporters. Those things can bring interest into the sport. The sport has to be careful when it's managed though. They have to manage it - you have to work with Usain and help him to say the right things and talk about how you build things around him. I would work with him and see what his plans are - he's effectively become bigger than the sport - they need to talk to him."

Tom Fordyce on Twitter in Berlin: "Six medals for Britain, wickets tumbling at The Oval. I'll get the champers in. It's HOW much? Ooof. Everyone alright with cava?"

1739: There was me just thinking about what events are coming up for tomorrow. Oh the pain, the agony. My fingers and plate-sized eyes will be grateful for a break tomorrow but how I will miss these Berlin adventures. A stunning nine days. Football? pahh...cricket?..well yeh - we're all loving this Ashes finale...but athletics is back. Magical. As long as Berlino the Bear is invited to every athletics event for ever more. Athletics is smiling. Danke danke danke Berlin. Ich liebe it all.

From VillaFour on 606: "Well, that's it. What a Championships. I hope the London 2012 organising committee were taking notes. And signed up a certain bear..."

From kinsang on 606: "New challenge for Bolt - take up the 400m, inspire a few countrymen to do the same and then produce a team that can challenge the US! The climax of the championships is always the men's 4x400m, yet it is always the biggest anti-climax of them all! Good job we had an American in our team (who obviously realised he would never make the US team). I think I'm getting a bit cynical...."

GB relay boys on their silver: Conrad Williams says: "The crowd was tremendous, everything was great." Bingham says: "These guys gave me such an uplift and I didn't want to go out too quick, so I relaxed, stayed calm and set up Rooney in a good position". Rooney says: "It's my first senior medal and it's about time we got a relay medal. We've had good teams and always come fourth or sixth."

1727: Steve Cram: "It has been a good championships for GB. Our big favourites delivered. Good to see Lisa. It was pretty good."

1724: Michael Johnson analysing GB's world championships: "The area of concern is what happens from here. It's been a good championships for Britain. The foot needs to be kept down on the pedal when moving forward."

From djkbrown2001 on 606: "Well done Team GB. Silver. 6th Medal of the Game! Exceeded expectations. The New Dutch Guy is doing well at the UKA. Team GB should be happy with the returns from these games. It augurs well for 2012."

1722: The Union jack flag is clutched by the GB boys. They look happy - and rightfully so. American-born Bingham - now wearing his GB vest - could be looking over at the US gold medallists wondering if he did the right thing. "Tobin did really well" says Michael Johnson. "You can see the relaxation on Rooney's face at the end. He saved a bit at the end when he'd need it. Well done by the Americans and the British team."

1718: Bright sun. Rooney in glasses awaits in last leg. The last race in Berlin. Enjoy it while you can. On your marks....Williams in headband again...love it. He opens up and strolls round the seventh lane. Williams going well. He's up there with the Pole. Wariner strides off. Bingham kicks off for GB. He strides round the outside into second. Bit manic in all those changeovers. French bustled into last place. Tobin passed by the bright green Aussie lucra pants. And now he passes them again. Tobin did brilliantly. Rooney shoots off in second. This will be tight. Us easy in the lead. GB vs Aussies. lik the Ashes this. STUNNING SILVER FOR GB. Aussies get bronze. That's brilliant. All boys did well there. And Rooney stayed cool.

1712: One event to go.....the men's 4x400m final. Where did that all go? Don't go away. Conrad Williams, Michael Bingham, Rob Tobin, Martyn Rooney all up in their GB vests. Bloomin nora. Angelo Taylor, Wariner, Clement, Merritt for the US. Unless they drop the batttttt-on, they could win this by a couple of laps.

1708: Brittney Reese of the United States wins the women's long jump with a 7.10m, beating defending champion Tatyana Lebedeva of Russia (6.97) and Karin Mey Melis of Turkey wins bronze with 6.80. Olympic champion Maurren Higa Maggi of Brazil is seventh.

From Macheda Stole My Hair Gel on 606: "4th for Britain, how many of those have we had? We never had a chance of beating those Russians, Jamaicans or especially the US, but Lee McConnell looked very slow in the first leg."

1704: That was a shocking changeover between Ohuruogu and Vicky Barr. Christine had to move from inside lane and head over to the middle lane. Is that their fault? Lost a lot of time there. McConnell says: "We were obviously lined up in the wrong position - not our fault." Ohuruogu says: "I couldn't find her and I panicked. It was annoying having to stop my stride." Vicky Barr says: "I lined up in fourth and an official put everyone else in front of me. The best I could do was wave. It's really disappointing because that took a big chunk out of how close we were to Jamaica."

1657: Women's 4x400m - Lee McConnell doesn't have a great start. Russians have flown out of the blocks. Christine Ohuruogu up next. the US cruising this. Ohuruogu starts safely in fifth. Russia second. Jamaica third. Allyson Felix is a blur. Ohuruogu looking rusty. The US are about 5 laps ahead. Not a great change to Vicky Barr. GB in fourth. C'mon. Nicola Sanders takes the baton for the final time and she's miles back. Game over. Sanya Richards wins her second gold and it's gold for US. Jamaica second. Russia third. GB in fourth. Just not good enough. Winning time - around 3 mins 17 seconds.

1654: Women's 4x400m final coming up....Lee McConnell, Christine Ohuruogu, Vicky Barr, Nicola Sanders in for the Brits. Can they make it a sixth medal? Ohuruogu looks focused....here we go....

1653: Norway's Andreas Thorkildsen wins the men's javelin world crown with a distance of 89.59. Guillermo Martinez of Cuba takes silver with 86.41 and Yukifumi Murakami of Japan wins bronze with 82.97. Defending champion Tero Pitkamaki of Finland finishes fifth.

Tom Fordyce on Twitter in Berlin: "Dobriskey promoted to 1500m silver - one hundredth of a second off gold. GB joy, and that's the target of five medals pouched"

1645: We're told that Usain Bolt received a sweet little present from the Berlin organisers earlier today. More gold? A Berlino the Bear baby? A tacky t-shirt? Nope. A 12-foot high piece of the Berlin wall which weighed 3 tonnes. Nice.
What present would you give Usain?

1643: Javelin update - Andreas THORKILDSEN leads still with 89.59. Guillermo MARTINEZ six metres behind, then Yukifumi MURAKAMI, Vadims VASILEVSKIS and Tero PITKAMAKI. They are on their sixth throw.

1640: Dobriskey will be screaming into the Berlin rafters. 0.01s away from being world champion. But it's silver for her after Rodriguez receives her marching orders after her earlier shove on Burka. Bahrain's defending champion Maryam Jamal is promoted to gold position.

GB heptathlete Kelly Sotherton on Twitter: "waiting to board my flight at wilmington. fantastic for lisa dorbriskey!!"

1634: Kamel, Yego all had chances in the last 100m. Simmonds fades. Massive battle again. An absolute gut-busting sprint at the end. Mulaudzi piles his face into the tarmac but it's worth it. he wins gold in 1:45.29. Defending champ Yego gets silver, Kamel wins bronze. Phew. Another great race. Borzakovskiy in fourth ahead of Laalou. So that's the 800m double for South Africa at the worlds. Great effort. Mulaudzi screams at his fans in the crowd.

1629: Here we go then...Kamel settling at the back, with Laalou comfortable in second. More pushing and shoving. Slapping in faces there. Calm down boys. Put those handbags down. Kivuva has lost his show and is battling on. South African Mbulaeni Mulaudzi led down the final straight and almost falls over the line to win. Another phenomenal finish.

1626: It's the men's 800m final coming up. Defending champion Alfred Yego looking very bouncy on the line. If the last two races in the last half hour are anything to go by, we can expect some more fireworks in this one. Sharpen up those elbows boys. You may need them.

1623: TV showing a highlights package including Britain's Will Sharman - who was fourth in the 110m hurdles. A legend in the making.

From ShuBob on 606: "Excellent run by Dobriesky. I am confident that she'd be upgraded to a SILVER. I love the American woman as well so that's good as she'd get the bronze"

1616: Dobriskey's words for you: (all said in about four seconds) "I'm chuffed to bits. The race was so surreal, it went by me. Last year I was so disappointed and I didn't want to finish in that position again. I started the winter with a stress fracture in my lower back and was out for three months. At the end of may I had a bone stress in my left thigh. I can't quite take it in at the moment. There are so many people I need to thank. Just to get me on the start line was a major achievement."

1614: Disqualification for Rodriguez? "Absolutely" says Michael Johnson. "The most blatant incident" he adds. "A very ugly situation" says Colin Jackson. "Lisa kept her head".

1612: Dobriskey strolls over to Phil Jones. How many words can anybody say in one breath? The answer with this girl is about 3 million. Make that 4 mill. I think she's breathing as she speaks. Giggling like a young girl just been told she's been given a pony for Christmas. Amazing. Don't knock it though. She's just won a medal. Brilliant effort in a bruising encounter. Not just about running the 1500m - need a level head. Fair play to you Lisa.

1610: Great effort from Dobriskey. On that last lap, Rodriguez slipped through on the inside of Burka and there's a huge bout of elbow bashing. Burka goes crashing over. Dobriskey was a hair breadth away from silver. But she may get it if Rodriguez gets the boot. She strolls over to Burka who is lying on the ground looking very hurt. The Berlin crowd are booing. No lap of honour. Interesting times. Who says there's no excitement in the middle distances? I'm just looking forward to hearing Dobriskey. She'll be super-pumped up after this. Red flag went up so the judges are definitely looking at the incident.

1603: Dobriskey tucked at the back and she's battling with all those flying spikes. Comfortable in the middle so far. Natalya Evdokimova stretches ahead. Got a bit of heaving technique the Russian. Gelete Burka strolling ahead. She is looking good. Jamal in second. Dobriskey in fifth. C'mon gal. The bell goes...Lisa's got a good sprint? can she do it? She moves into third...five up front. Burka pushed by Rodriguez. Dobriskey on the outside. What a battling 100 metres. Bronze for Dobriskey. Rodriguez on the bend pushed Burka there I reckon. Burka toppled over...the medals could be shifted around here....

1600: American Anna Willard has an amazing white fringe. Looks like a skunk. Anyway. On your marks. Bright sunshine in Germany. Here we go.....

1558: Dobriskey lines up - she always sounds like someone who can't quite believe she is where she is. Big wave to the crowd as she's introduced. You're in the final Lisa. Believe. You're there. Deep breaths for the Brit as we get ready for the gun. Brendan Foster reckons she can get a medal. No pressure then.

1555: Men's javelin gets going. And what a start from the rampaging Norwegian Andreas Thorkildsen. Tom Fordyce's blog on Thorkildsen. He gets hold of his spear and hurls 89.59 to take the lead. Is anybody going to beat that? Wow. Guillermo Martinez in second spot currently with 83.43. Yukifumi Murakami in third. Six metres between the top two. More to follow after the 1500m. Go Lisa.

1550: A grinning Bekele says: "I know Bernard Lagat is very tough, especially in sprinting but I beat him on the straight. It's fantastic I'm so happy. I'm happy for myself and my country."
What an effort from the little man.

1547: Lisa Dobriskey gets going in the 1500m in 10 minutes. Michael Johnson on Bekele: "He is an incredible athlete. The last 100m he is able to sprint because he is built like a sprinter but has that determination. he has that belief."

From Andrea: THE DOSS on 606: "Okay so he wins. I want to know what Bekele drinks. One thing is for sure he doesn't drink the beer infront of me right now. Congratulations to Bekele and this is coming from a Kenyan."

Mo Farah: "I tried to cover every move but I just couldn't go with it. I'm quite disappointed but these are the best in the world."

1544: When the bell went all hell broke loose. Farah tried his best but his legs just went. Full sprint in that last lap. Lagat came through on the inside and he had the edge with 60 metres to go. He looked strong, Bekele slipped down to fourth gear and I thought he was gone. He then gritted his teeth - and he did - kicked on, went up three gears and did it. Amazing. Lagat in silver. Farah in seventh. Winning time 13:17.09. 0.24 seconds between him and Lagat. That's worn me out. Thanks boys. What a race.

1540: Last lap. Farah's legs have gone. What a battle. Bekele sprints down the final straight with Lagat and it's Bekele. Double world champion......what a last 50 metres. Where does he get that strength in his legs?

1536: Kenyans helping each other. Positions switching around all over the place. It's hypnotic watching all those arms pumping up and down in unison. Bekele still leading. He glares at Legat after a slight knock on his heels. Farah starts working and he's in the middle of the pack. Could Bekele be feeling the heat after his 10,000m races this week?

1534: Women's long jump has started. Will be back to that in a sec. Five laps to go in the 5,000m. Farah still struggling at the back and Bekele looking strong.

1532: 61 second laps. Bekele picking up the pace a bit. Ebuya switching leading positions. Up to 64 second lap. Three Kenyans surround Bekele like a green blanket. Eight laps to go. Bekele slips to fifth.

1529: Farah stuck at the back. Steve Cram is a little concerned with his position and gets his binoculars out. "Early days though" Cram adds. Farah gradually making his way through. Don't go sleeping Mo. Cram thinks Farah might not be feeling too well. Let's see.

Tom Fordyce on Twitter in Berlin: "Final afternoon in Olympiastadion. Massive afternoon at The Oval. I'm an emotional wreck. Tears possible. Papa Fordyce would be outraged"

1526: Mo Farah also in this one. And they're off. Bekele, 27, achieved the double at the Olympics last year, but has not attempted it at a world championships since finishing third in the final at Paris 2003. He strides to the front. Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge could have a sniff in this race. Very steady opening lap.

1523: 5,000m final. Bekele has a huge furrow in his brow. I think he wants this one. "A mouth-watering prospect this race" Steve Cram says.

Michael Johnson on Bolt - what happens next? "The most important thing is to stay motivated. He came into the sport at an early age and has gone on to accomplish everything. To maintain that motivation and desire, I would limit his races - maybe restrict it to the Commonwealths or only exhibition races or even move to the 400m. His future needs to be managed to maintain longevity and motivation."

1517: And get in your thoughts, predictions, memories and all manner of communication, on 606 or text 81111. It's all there for you. No excuses.

1515: You just can't keep that man down. Bolt steps onto the podium to get his gold, along with the Jamaican boys. And don't forget the Brits. Up steps Williamson, Edgar, Devonish and Aikines-Aryeetey who won the bronze in the 4x100m relay last night. Those boys have now got to raise their game individually. Don't go settling on relay medals. Let that tall beaming Jamaican next to you inspire you to greater things. Get working and dreaming when you get home. OK?

1508: So what's coming up then? It's a dazzling list of finals with six golds up for grabs. Don't you go thinking today's going to be a quiet wind down. We've got the women's long jump (1515), men's javelin (1520), Bekele aiming for a long distance double in the 5,000m (1525) along with GB's Mo Farah, Lisa Dobriskey in the 1500m (1600), men's 800m (1625) and finishing up with the men's and women's 4x400m (from 1650). GB have half a chance of medalling in both. Can the Brits get their sweaty mitts on more silverware and put a smile on boss Charles van Commenee? Check out full timetable details.

1506: BERLINO THE BEAR NEWSFLASH: Berlino is in the studio. Amazing. Michael Johnson is giggling like a six-year-old and says: "The Melaine Walker incident has been my favourite moment." Berlino looks bored as Brendan Foster talks. Berlino high-fives Johnson and Colin Jackson. Remarkable. TV shows a repeat of Walker on the back of Berlino running into the pile of hurdles. It's mayhem in the studio.

1458: Ich liebe Berlin. What a nine days it's been. If Bolt is king then I'll hand 'lord' status to Berlino the Bear. What a Championships that furry little fella has had. Check out his antics with best mate Usain. This planet of ours can appear to be one heck of a negative, cynical and sad place. Along comes Bolt to kick the world of sport up its backside with grace, charm, utter greatness and, above all, his smile. I doff my cap at you sir. Long may you reign. And Lord Coe - set up your 2012 mascot planning committee now. Do you hear me? Onto the action....plenty of medals up for grabs
