      • The 2017 Worlds kick off today in spectacular fashion as Usain Bolt will race and Mo Farah will go for one last 10,000 gold on the five year anniversary of his first Olympic gold medal on the very same track.

        To get you ready for the action, we recorded a 44 minute podcast this morning. With there only being a few morning sections, we hope to do near daily podcasts from London.

        Our preview of the 10,000 final is here:

        the 100 'preliminaries' are only for people who haven't hit the standard (every country can send one athlete in any event who hasn't hit the standard, to achieve maximum representation).

        bolt and everyone else who has hit the standard will be in the heats, later today.

        Without looking, I would bet this is the preliminary, preliminary round. Usually filled with "subpar" 10.4-11.0 runners from smaller countries that have to advance to the normal preliminary round.
