Britain won a shock silver medal in the mixed 4x400metre relay on night one of the World Athletics Championships in Budapest after the Netherlands’ Femke Bol fell approaching the finishing line.
The United States, who broke the world record, had been expected to lead home the Dutch but Bol’s legs failed her in the home straight to pave the way for the unheralded quartet of Lewis Davey, Laviai Nielsen, Rio Mitcham and Yemi Mary John to finish second.
