Eleanor Patterson and Olympic silver medallist Nicola Olyslagers will contest the women's high jump final, while Australian teammates Jess Hull and Georgia Griffith reached the decider of the 1,500 metres.

Patterson was eighth at the 2015 world titles in Beijing. She claimed silver at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Belgrade last March and also won the recent Stockholm Diamond League title.

She needed two attempts to get over at 1.90m and a clutch clearance at 1.93m to stay alive in the competition. "I'm the most colourful athlete I know and when there are no shouts, no claps and just silence, I felt in that moment that whatever happens I just have to put all my energy into getting my body over that bar.Hull cruised into the 1,500m final on a banner day for Australian middle-distance running.
