Fell in front of Bahta who was sniffing at the medals

Strong sprinter Meraf Bahta did a good race and had contact with the British / French top trio before the final lap.

But she had not expected to get past even a falling Dutchman in Maureen Koster who seemed to step on the wrong side before she fell headlong into Bahta's path.

The Swede made a very strong last lap after having to stop for a few seconds but had lost too much.

Judging by the TV pictures, she was noticeably annoyed by the incident when she crossed the finish line as four.

Amy-Eloise Markovc, Great Britain, won in 8.46.53 ahead of Alice Finot, France, and Verity Ockenden, Great Britain.
