    Women's 1500m final

    Great Britain's Georgia Hunter Bell, who won gold in the women's 1500m final, speaking on BBC Two: "It is so sweet! It is such a relief. I knew I was in good physical shape but I felt like the area I needed to progress in was coming into a championships, being the favourite and winning. I failed last year but I have completely learned from that - and I'm just so happy that I could do it today.

    "I'm really proud of myself actually. I was very calm and composed coming into tonight, and I tried to carry that with me throughout the whole of today. I was questioning why I was stressing because I knew I could do it. There were lots of racing instincts there because there was a big gap, but I had to stay patient and back it. I'm very in-tune with what the pace feels like for running sub-four minutes, so when I did catch her I knew it was time to go.

    "This time two years ago I was working in tech sales, now I'm a world champion!"

  5. Let's take a breath. What an hour this has been for British athletics.

    That's at 19:47.

  10. Women’s 800m final

    Greg Rutherford
    Former world and Olympic long jump champion on BBC Two

    It's not a bad position to have Keely Hodgkinson as your option for a third gold medal of the evening, is it? What a way this has worked out! It is absolutely brilliant seeing it unfold.

    Anything could happen here but, looking at the field she's up against and the form we know she's in, it is going to be so difficult for anybody to get close to her.

    If she switches on and feels it, who knows how fast she can go! If she wins this, it could turn into the situation where is she turns up and she is fit, it is always going to be hers to lose.

  11. Three golds in 28 minutes. Astonishing.

  12. Hodgkinson won Britain's fourth gold medal at these championships, following Josh Kerr, Georgia Hunter Bell and Molly Caudery.

    It means GB are top of the medal table!

  13. Women's 800m final

    That gold medal really wasn't up for grabs, was it?

    She will want to go and add the outdoors gold medal to that because that's the only medal really missing to her haul right now.

    It will be a bit more of a taller order though.

  14. Women's 800m final

    Steve Cram
    1983 1500m champion on BBC Two

    One of the quickest times that have ever been run indoors! It's not her own world record, you wouldn't have expected that, but she wasn't that far off.

    A big last lap again. She had that gold medal won and she was able to have a right go at it.

    Keely Hodgkinson, that was absolutely supreme. She made it look so easy and so straightforward. It was just her and the clock really.

    That will make up a little bit for Tokyo!

  15. Hodgkinson takes third British gold of day

    Women's 800m final

    It's what we expected, to be fair.

    Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill
    Three-time world heptathlon champion on BBC Two

    Keely Hodgkinson absolutely does look unbeatable, but you never know until she's out there and she's racing.

    She is such an experienced runner at this level now. She has been to so many championships. She has won so many medals in her short career. She is so confident and dominant in the way she performs.

    Having that world record will just give her another layer of confidence.
