Olympic champion Ruth Jebet finished fourth in the women's 3,000 metres steeplechase after the Bahrain runner fell in the second-last lap. Kenya's Beatrice Chepkoech took advantage to win ahead of world champion and compatriot Hyvin Kiyeng.

Germany's Olympic champion Thomas Roehler finished third in the javelin, which was won by compatriot Johannes Vetter.
