    Great Britain's Jemma Reekie claimed her first major medal by winning 800m silver in front of her home crowd at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow.

    The Scot, 25, clocked two minutes 2.72 seconds to cross the line behind Ethiopia's Tsige Duguma.

    It came after GB's women's 4x400m relay quartet, which included twin sisters Laviai and Lina Nielsen, won bronze.

    Ama Pipi and Jessie Knight brought GB home in a national record 3:26.36.

    The Netherlands' Femke Bol sealed her second gold of the championships as she held off the United States, after defending champions Jamaica saw their challenge ended prematurely when Charokee Young dropped the baton in a coming together with Pipi.

    "I did think it would be a hot pace from the start. I had to do some work at the front and it was hard.I hope some little girls look at this and want to get into running."

    Men's 1500m final

    Great Britain's Adam Fogg speaking to BBC TV after the 1500m final: "It's rough. Indoors started so well, the last six weeks have been so good. I struggled at UK indoors and put it down to jet lag. This week was a good experience but pretty rough. I know I'm in in better shape than that.

    "I felt like I deserved to be in the final and wanted to go out and show it but I didn't do it. I know I can run well. I need a little bit of rest and move on to the outdoor season now."

  10. 'I want to break the world record'

    Men's pole vault

    Sweden's pole vault gold medallist Mondo Duplantis, speaking to BBC TV: "It took a lot from me today. More than I would have liked and a bit sloppier than I would have liked. Pole vaulting is very hard and it's difficult to make the numbers even at the heights I should be getting. It made me quite tired.

    "I'm proud of myself. I don't think my mum is too proud of me. I think that was too many third attempts for her. She was super nervous. I was trying not to look over at her.

    "I want to break the world record and whenever I have a decent chance I will go for it."

  11. The final medal table

    All may not be harmonious in the USA camp, but their team dominated these championships as expected.

    A superb finals for Belgium, inspired by Alexander Doom to take three golds and second place. A really good surprise showing from New Zealand too.

    Joint-fifth for Britain is more than satisfactory.

    Noah Lyles is always a great addition because of who he is, but they lost and this sport is about results.

  15. Discord in the American camp

    Men's 4x400m relay

    The medal ceremony is now taking place for the men's 4x400m relay, in which Belgium beat the USA in a dramatic final leg sprint.

    The USA selection was controversial, as they picked 60m silver medallist Noah Lyles for the event.

    Lyles' selection was criticised by fellow US sprinter Fred Kerley, who wrote on X that it was "favouritism" and Lyles' team-mates were being treated like "puppets".

    Lyles responded in an interview with US press, saying of Kerley: "He could be here, but he ain't. If he's mad, come on out here."
