Josh Kerr narrowly missed out on Olympic gold in the 1500m final despite finishing ahead of bitter rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
The Edinburgh-born runner claimed silver after being pipped on the line by USA’s Cole Hocker.
The race was billed as a two-horse race with Ingebrigtsen, but Hocker’s sprint in the final straight gave him a shock gold.
Norwegian Ingebrigtsen finished out of the medals in fourth after setting a blistering pace and leading for most of the race.
There had been much hype beforehand about Kerr and Ingebrigtsen’s apparent dislike for each other after trading barbs over the past year or so.
Ingebrigtsen has said he could beat Kerr “blindfolded” despite Kerr outrunning him at last year’s World Championships.

Boxer Lewis Richardson already has a bronze but hopes to secure at least a silver when he goes in the middleweight semi-final just before 9pm.
