It promises to be a memorable Thursday evening for Brit Townsend when two Canadian women toe the line in the 800-metre heats at the World Athletics Championships.
Born in Nottingham, Wightman is a product of Edinburgh Athletic Club and is now based in Arizona. His dad and coach Geoff was chief executive at Scottish Athletics, which led to him being schooled in Edinburgh. He was educated at Erskine Stewart’s Melville, Fettes College and Loughborough University.
The 28-year-old won Great Britain's first gold in Eugene, Oregon to become the first Briton to win the 1500m in 39 years, since Steve Cram's victory in 1983.
Caster Semenya, who will make her first appearance in a world championships in five years when she competes in the women's 5 000m in Eugene, has every right to be there, World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said on Tuesday.

Dina Asher-Smith clocked a season's best time to reach the final and continue her defence of her 200 metres title at the World Championships in Oregon. Asher-Smith (21.96 seconds) finished second in a hugely competitive second semi-final, pipped by a single hundredth of a second on the dip by Tamara Clark of the USA, with Elaine Thompson-Herah, a two-time Olympic gold medallist over the distance, also progressing in third.
"In athletics, it's very simple. If you are throwing, it should be the farthest; if you are jumping, it should be the highest; and if you are running, it should be the fastest" is how Neeraj put it during this interaction. There can't be a simpler way than that to put things into perspective. Neeraj, in fact, is a master of that -- keeping things simple. In a couple of days' time, Neeraj will be at the second biggest stage after his Olympic triumph -- the ongoing World Championships in Oregon, USA, where he will run in to throw the spear to a distance that could potentially fetch India only its second World Championships medal. Former long-jumper Anju Bobby George's 2003 bronze is still the only World Championships medal won by an Indian. Neeraj's current form and decorated run-up to the competition promises to add to that tally.
Olympic champion and 2019 winner Stahl very briefly held the lead with a 66.59-metre opener but was quickly overtaken by Lithuanian duo Mykolas Alekna and Andrius Gudzius, improving to 67.10 on his fifth try but never getting himself back into medal contention. The 23-year-old Ceh sent roars through Hayward Field as he rocketed a 71.13-metre third attempt across the lawn in Eugene, Oregon, clinching the top of podium in a championship record. "It was a fast circle here but everybody has the same conditions and you just need to trust yourself," he said.
