Great Britain's Jemma Reekie claimed her first major medal by winning 800m silver in front of her home crowd at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow.

The Scot, 25, clocked two minutes 2.72 seconds to cross the line behind Ethiopia's Tsige Duguma.

It came after GB's women's 4x400m relay quartet, which included twin sisters Laviai and Lina Nielsen, won bronze.

Ama Pipi and Jessie Knight brought GB home in a national record 3:26.36.

The Netherlands' Femke Bol sealed her second gold of the championships as she held off the United States, after defending champions Jamaica saw their challenge ended prematurely when Charokee Young dropped the baton in a coming together with Pipi.

The rapidly improving Georgia Bell narrowly missed out on a medal with a fourth-placed finish in the women's 1500m, running 4:03.47, as Ethiopia's Freweyni Hailu took gold.

British team-mate Revee Walcott-Nolan was sixth in 4:04.60, while in the men's final Adam Fogg was 14th in 3:43.81.

Cindy Sember placed seventh in 7.92 seconds in a women's 60m hurdles final in which the Bahamas' Devynne Charlton set a world record of 7.65.
