Great Britain claimed three gold medals in a sensational 28 minutes to make history and achieve the team’s best haul at a World Athletics Indoor Championships.
Georgia Hunter Bell began Sunday night’s medal rush when she stormed to her first global 1500m title, before pole vaulter Molly Caudery secured her return to the top of the podium in Poland.
A third triumph never looked in doubt as Olympic champion and world record holder Keely Hodgkinson dominated the women’s 800m final to win her first World Indoors gold.
Following Josh Kerr’s 3,000m triumph on Saturday, it guaranteed the British team’s most successful World Indoor Championships of all time, surpassing the three gold medals achieved in 1999.
Returning to the championships at which she represented Great Britain for the first time just two years ago, Olympic bronze medallist Hunter Bell reeled in Ethiopia’s Birke Haylom before bursting clear of her rivals on the final lap to win in three minutes 58.53 seconds.
Caudery, already guaranteed silver by the time her team-mate crossed the line, reclaimed the title which represented her breakthrough success two years ago with a second-time clearance over 4.85 metres.
