Team GB gold medal hopes Keely Hodgkinson and Josh Kerr both set up the opportunity to race for Olympic glory in Paris.
Hodgkinson, 22, looked effortless as she won her women's 800m semi-final to progress fastest overall in one minute 56.86 seconds at Stade de France.
Two days before their anticipated 1500m title showdown, world champion Kerr followed Norway's Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen across the line in their semi-final. Team-mate Neil Gourley also qualified by finishing third in the second semi-final, won by American Yared Nuguse in 3:31.72, but George Mills failed to progress after coming through a repechage round.
Hudson-Smith, who will seek to upgrade his world 400m silver in Paris, began his bid for gold by taking a comfortable victory in 44.78.
