Women's relay gold as Britain earn record nine medals in Istanbul
The women's 4x400m relay team struck gold on Sunday as Britain claimed a record World Indoor Championships medal-haul.
The quartet of Shana Cox, Nicola Sanders, Christine Ohuruogu and Perri Shakes-Drayton earned goal by 0.03 seconds from the USA.
This success, added to by a silver and three bronzes from other athletes on the final day, means Britain claimed their biggest medal haul in World Indoor Championship history.
Britain won nine medals, surpassing the total of seven achieved in Birmingham back in 2003.
But it could have been even better as it was thought Mo Farah would also be awarded a bronze only to have the decision overturned a few minutes later.
Farah finished fourth in a physical 3,000 metres final, but was promoted to third when - prompted by UK Athletics head coach Charles van Commenee - the race referee agreed that Kenya's Edwin Soi had been guilty of obstruction.
That was briefly reflected in the official medal table, but was then overturned following an official appeal from the Kenyan team, something which the British team were then not allowed to challenge further under IAAF rules.
"For me it was clear," Van Commenee said.
"I have studied the footage many times and the referee agreed so that's why he changed the result. I feel pretty stuffed really."
Farah added: "For a minute I did think they'd awarded me the bronze medal, but I'm disappointed no matter what, whether I finished third or fourth.
"I personally think that as I was coming round the final bend I was obstructed and I couldn't get out. But that was only my opinion, that's what referees are for."
Storming leg
In the women's 4x400 metre relay, Britain were down in third place when Ohuruogu took the baton, but the Olympic champion produced a storming leg to hand over to hurdles specialist Shakes-Drayton in first place.
It looked as though American individual champion Sanya Richards-Ross would overhaul the Briton down the home straight, but Shakes-Drayton bravely held on and crashed to the track as she lunged for the line.
In a fantastic day for Britain, two more bronze medals followed in quick succession thanks to Holly Bleasdale in the women's pole vault and Andrew Osagie in the men's 800m, while the men's 4x400m relay team then claimed silver behind a US quartet.
World record holder Yelena Isinbayeva only needed two jumps to claim gold, with France's Vanessa Boslak and Bleasdale the only other athletes to clear 4.70m.
However, Boslak took silver by virtue of clearing it at her first attempt compared to Bleasdale at her second, while the 20-year-old will be disappointed at messing up her approach at 4.75m and twice failing to get in a proper attempt.
In the 800m, Osagie looked like having to settle for fourth until a late burst down the home straight took him past Poland's Adam Kszczot into third place in a race won by Ethiopia's Mohammad Aman.
Earlier, there was a bronze medal for Shara Proctor in the long jump.
