M 4x100m
AFTER seeing their female team-mates smash the UK 4x100m record the previous evening, the British men could not quite manage the same, but they still impressed hugely by running two of the nation’s four quickest times in history.
James Dasaolu, Adam Gemili, James Ellington and CJ Ujah combined to clock the world-leading 37.78 – the third fastest-ever time by a British quartet after the 37.73 in 1999 and 37.77 in 1993 – while the GB ‘B’ team made up of Richard Kilty, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Danny Talbot and Ojie Edoburun were only three hundredths of a second behind in a close race that saw Edoburun push Ujah all the way to the line.
