Josh Kerr celebrates World Championships gold after running the race of his life.

The Scot follows Jake Wightman in claiming top spot on the podium for Great Britain.

Josh Kerr ran the race of his life to keep the world 1500m title in Scottish hands and shock favourite Jakob Ingebrigtsen.

The Olympic bronze medallist pulled off a perfect tactical race, forcing the Norwegian into a change of pace on the last lap and taking victory in a time of 3:29.38.

Crossing the line with his rivals a stride behind, the Edinburgh star cupped his hand to the crowd and roared in celebration as the great Seb Coe draped a gold medal over his neck.

Kerr followed in the footsteps of 2022 gold medallist Jake Wightman in bringing down Ingebrigtsen and became the third British man to be crowned world champion over the metric mile.
