    SOUNDBITE (English) Vivian Cheruiyot, 10,000 metres winner:

    "The race was a little bit slow but I was comfortable and I was saying that if it wasn't too high then I would be comfortable. But what I want to say is that I am really happy to be a world champion. To be back to be a world champion there is nothing else I can add. It is really amazing."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Emily Infeld, 10,000 metres bronze medallist:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Veronica Campbell-Brown, Jamaica:

    "Life is weird. I have no control over what happened. All I can do is go out there and do my best. Whatever happened I just have to move on. I cannot do anything to change what's in the past. I am just grateful for the opportunity."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Kirani James, Grenadian 400 metres runner:

    SOUNDBITE (English) LeShawn Merritt, USA 400 metres runner:

    "Time wise I am not sure. These guys ran well today. We got a day break. That could hurt some people. That could help some people. So eight men will line up. And we will go at it."

    SOUNDBITE (English) LeShawn Merritt, USA 400 metres runner:

    "I'm not sure if anyone is in that type of shape right now to run a world record in the 400. That's some great shape. The guys are ready this year. Next year a big year as well. You never know though. I am just going to get myself ready."
