Keely Hodgkinson is forced to settle for silver as Kenya's Mary Moraa triumphs in a thrilling 800m final at the World Championships.
There was so very nearly a final day gold medal for the British team to celebrate.
Mu took bronze as a captivating battle between the three main contenders unfolded, while Jemma Reekie finished fifth in her first world final. One of the most anticipated showdowns of the championships, the women's 800m final pitted Hodgkinson against two athletes who, between them, had denied the European champion three further major golds in a sensational start to her professional career.
And it was Moraa, renowned for her devastating closing speed, who powered on to victory in Budapest as Hodgkinson moved past the fading Mu but could not overhaul the Kenyan. It was 400m champion Bol who was firmly in the spotlight, adding her second gold medal and bringing the crowd to their feet. There was a fourth-placed finish for Morgan Lake in the women's high jump final with a clearance at 1.97m as Ukraine's Yaroslava Mahuchikh won her first global outdoor title following world silvers in 2019 and 2022.
