KEELY HODGKINSON appeared to be gutted after taking a bronze medal in the women’s 800m final at the World Athletics Championships.
Team GB picked up two more medals with Hodgkinson’s bronze behind Georgia Hunter Bell’s silver.

But Team GB team-mate Georgia Hunter Bell took silver
It is two more medals for Team GB in the World Athletics Championships
The two Brits were out in front of the field eyeing a stunning one-two finish.
However, Kenya’s Lilian Odira then blitzed past the pair to claim victory in a new championship record time of 1:54.62.
Hunter Bell ran an incredible time of 1:54.90, beating Hodgkinson to second by 0.01 seconds.
And Hodgkinson, who won Olympic gold in Paris last summer, initially looked devastated to have fallen to third in the standings.
This was in contrast to the jubilant expression of Hunter Bell, who ran a personal best time in Tokyo.
But the brace of medals from Hodgkinson and Hunter Bell still ensured it was a historic day for British Athletics.
Their silver and bronze haul meant it was the first time in 18 years that Britain had won two medals in the same event.
