GB men also through though in less convincing fashion. Gemili ran a poor first leg. Prescod was on the anchor leg rather than Mitchell-Blake and almost made the same mistake the GB men used to always make by setting off too early.

A bronze medal for Matt Hudson-Smith in the 400m, behind Michael Norman and former champion Kirani James. Matt was one of four athletes very close together with 100m to go. The first two pulled away but he outlasted world record holder Wayde van Niekirk to earn a medal.

GB miss out on what would've been at least a bronze medal in the women's sprint relay when Dina Asher-Smith cramped up on the third leg. She managed to keep going and get the baton to Daryll Neita who managed to climb from 8th to 6th. USA took gold, ahead of Jamaica with Germany getting a surprise bronze.

Actually not sure what happened to Dina. She may even have tripped. She seemed to be OK after the race.

A good bronze for GB in the men's race, with Canada causing a massive shock winning gold ahead of the USA.
GB changed the team from the semi with Jona Efoloko replacing Adam Gemili on the first leg.

Cindy Sember sets a new British record of 12.50 in 4th place, taking the record off her sister Tiffany Porter. Amusan then runs 12.06 to win the final but it won't be a world record as the following wind was over the legal limit. Cindy Sember 5th for GB in 12.38.

What was the GB medal target?
We probably lost a certain medal in women's 4x100m relay and maybe Holly Bradshaw.

I'm not sure if any official medal target was ever published.
The women's relay would've been a guaranteed medal. Less sure about Holly Bradshaw - A PB would've won her gold but she's only jumped 4.60 this year.
Max Burgin was another potential medal we missed out on after he was forced to withdraw with deep vein thrombosis and Eilish McColgan's illness and injury issues in the build-up damaged any chance she might have had.
Overall, I think seven medals is a good return for GB - the most since 2015.
Poland was the top European nation on the medal table thanks to them winning more silvers than GB, but GB had the most medals in total out of the European teams, and 5th overall after USA, Jamaica, Kenya and Ethiopia. Bodes well for the Europeans later in the season and hopefully GB will send a strong team to Munich.

I'd looked but couldn't find any target mentioned.
Overall given the high performance standard I think GB & NI had a pretty good games.
