Great Britain facing a 'reset' as Tokyo golds prove elusive

WE FINISH 21st IN THE MEDAL TABLE

DETERMINED: Loughborough University alumnus Jake Wightman flings himself over the line to earn silver in the men's 1500m

UK Athletics performance director Paula Dunn admitted it was "time to reset" after Great Britain failed to win a gold medal at a World Athletics Championships for the first time since 2003.

The British team in Tokyo finished 21st in the medal table with five podium appearances after Georgia Hunter Bell and Keely Hodgkinson claimed respective silver and bronze medals in Sunday's 800m final.

Injuries to a number of strong medal hopes in Japan had already altered expectations, but fourth place in the women's 4x100m relay on closing night confirmed there would be no relay podiums one year after Team GB claimed medals in all five at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
