Katarina Johnson-Thompson says injuries have held her back as she struggles on day one of the heptathlon at the European Championships.

That's day five of the European Championships done and dusted. Thanks for joining us!

It wasn't to be for Keely Hodgkinson, but Great Britain will have plenty of chances to add more gold medals to their tally over the next two days.

Join us tomorrow again as 13 golds are up for grabs in Birmingham.

Keely Hodgkinson was forced to settle for European silver as Switzerland's Audrey Werro denied the Briton a third consecutive title in a thrilling women's 800m final in Birmingham.

The most eagerly anticipated event of the championships culminated in the expected three-way battle for supremacy between Hodgkinson, Swiss 22-year-old Werro and Dutch star Femke Broeders-Bol in front of a captivated sell-out crowd of 23,000 inside Alexander Stadium.

Seeking to reassert her dominance in the event, Olympic champion Hodgkinson was roared on in pursuit of Werro by her home support but was unable to overhaul her new rival in the closing stages.

Having this season become the fastest athlete since the world record was set 43 years ago, Werro finished strong to land her first major international title in a championship record one minute 54.81 seconds.

Saturday 15th August

Coverage available on BBC One (10:00-13:30 & 19:15-22:00) and BBC Two (13:30-17:30) as well as uninterrupted coverage (07:20-13:30) on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.

Sunday 16th August

Coverage available on BBC One (07:25-10:35 & 19:30-22:00) as well as BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.

The men's and women's half-marathon and marathon race walks take place around the city streets.

Cameron Corbishley goes for Great Britain in the men's marathon race walk, and there will be coverage of that on iPlayer and the BBC Sport website from 07.30 BST.

Then between10:00 and 13:30BST on BBC One, the heptathlon continues with the long jump and javelin, while Hunter Bell, Katie Snowden and Laura Muir are in the qualifying rounds for Sunday's 1500m final.

Commonwealth champion Jazmin Sawyers, Molly Palmer and Lucy Hadaway will all seek to make the women's long jump final.

The sprint relay teams also take to the track for the qualifying rounds.

Today is the first day of the championships on which Great Britain have not won a gold medal.

As a result, they have been overtaken at the top of the medal table by Italy - who claimed two golds tonight, through Nadia Battocletti in the women's 10,000m and Gianmarco Tamberi in the men's high jump.

Britain are currently second in the table, with Germany third.

Massive credit to Femke Broeders-Bol.

A two-time world 400m hurdles champion who only chose to switch events this season.

If the Dutchwoman can run 800m like that and win a bronze medal after just eight months of training, then I'm sure she's going to be a serious challenger against Audrey Werro and Keely Hodgkinson.

Audrey Werro's season isn't over yet, either. She's got two Diamond League events coming up in Switzerland with a home crowd to cheer her on.

That long-standing world record - set by Czech athlete Jarmila Kratochvilova in 1983 - could well be broken before the end of 2026.

Get used to seeing Audrey Werro's roaring lion celebration plenty more times in the future, folks.

Three of the nine fastest women's 800m times in history during a superb unbeaten outdoor season.

A European gold will be the icing on the cake for the Swiss 22-year-old.

That speedy 23.05 second 200m time by Sofie Dokter of the Netherlands has launched her up to second in the standings and knocked Ireland's Kate O'Connor down to third in the heptathlon.

But it was a solid sprint by O'Connor and she claws back some points on leader Adrianna Sulek-Schubert, who sits top with 3968 points.

Britain's Jade O'Dowda and Katarina Johnson-Thompson find themselves 15th and 16th respectively, which likely puts them out of contention for the medals.

Here's what the top five is looking like heading into the final day...

1. Adrianna Sulek-Schubert (Pol) - 3968
2. Sofie Doktor (Ned) - 3944
3. Kate O'Connor (Ire) - 3926
4. Sophie Weissenberg (Ger) - 3911
5. Emma Oosterwegel (Ned) - 3865

Ireland's Kate O'Connor, spoke to BBC One after finishing day one of the heptathlon: "There's really stiff competition here and I let myself down again in the shot put so I just had to put my head down and work really hard out there.

"I think I've got myself back on track and I think it's a little bit of mixed emotions for me today because I've put in a lot of hard work and I haven't been able to fully show that. I think I'm in a pretty strong position at the closure of day one but I'll have to get out there tomorrow and see what I can do."

On what went wrong with the shot put: "I think after Glasgow [Commonwealth Games] I lost a little bit of confidence in myself. It's a bit silly. I know I'm a 14m thrower, I know I can throw 15m but I'm just not really trusting my positions I think, and it's something we'll need to reevaluate because a lot of the girls have pushed on so I need to figure out how I can do that too."

BBC One

Norway's Karsten Warholm, spoke to BBC One after winning a fourth consecutive European gold: "I always say it's nothing like the first one but after that they just keep on getting better and I want to add to my resume.

"That's also the reason I do it - to get more and more and improve my career and my honours. This means a lot and now I have more European golds than anyone before me in the 400m hurdles. That's what motivates me now I'm starting to become an old horse."

Do you think about being a part of history? "I'm very interested in athletics history and to be part of it keeps me motivated. I want to build the best career possible for me."

Are you peaking at the right time? "For sure. Coming here to Birmingham was one of my biggest goals and now we've won the mixed relay with team Norway which was historic because we've never won a relay.

"I'm feeling like a peaked at the right time and starting to get experience."

While all the 800m excitement was going on, BBC Sport were chatting to Norway's Karsten Warholm follwing his 400m hurdles gold and Ireland's Kate O'Connor after the 200m sprint in the heptathlon.

Here's what they had to say...

BBC One

Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson, spoke to BBC One after winning silver: "A bit of mixed emotions. I think with that level of competition, any medal is a really good achievement and another one to add to my collection so I can never be disappointed with that. But I'm defending champion so I wanted to do that.

"I knew it was going to come down to the wire but I really thought I was going to win today. But it wasn't meant to be. I didn't do anything wrong, it was just one of those things."

On how she expected the race to play out: "I think there were so many different ways that could have played out and we'd figure it out after the first 100m. Audrey wanted to take it on and with that wind I was happy to let her. We're all really great athletes so I knew it was going to be close. I'm looking forward to the next match-up."

On the calibre of the field: "I've said all year it's really motivating to be in such a competitive event. I love it, I think it brings out the best in me. Championship racing that's what it's all about, you don't know how it's going to go and some people can have a good day or a bad day.

"I think I had a pretty good day today but it just didn't go how I wanted it to."

What I found really interesting was Werro kept looking out of the corner of her eye and it was like every time Keely kept asking a question, Werro was like 'I'm just going to move ever so slightly forward and keep my legs up a little bit more' and she kept doing that all the way around.

She gave her no room to come inside and made it more difficult for her. We know with Werro that she has a slightly faster flat-speed than Keely but you just thought with Keely's strength, she'd somehow be able to come through but it wasn't to be today.

That was Audrey Werro's first senior international gold medal, by the way.

What a future she has got ahead of her. I'm sure we'll be talking a lot more about the Werro-Hodgkinson rivalry in the years to come.
