Josh Kerr and Molly Caudalie won gold on a sensational night for Great Britain at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow.
As deafening crowd noise filled the arena, Kerr won the 3,000 meters in 7:42.98, becoming the first Scot to win a world indoor gold medal in 31 years.
Less than 40 minutes later, Cordery defeated New Zealand's Eliza McCartney on countback after clearing 4.80 meters to win her second world pole vault championship.
In the women's 400m final, Femke Boll of the Netherlands set a sensational world record time of 49.17 seconds to take gold, while Great Britain team captain Laviai Nielsen set a personal best of 50.89 seconds. However, he unfortunately missed out on the podium in 4th place.
Laura Muir also finished fifth in the women's 3,000 meters, missing out on a medal in favor of American Elle St-Pierre.
Kerr delivers gold medal upon return home
Kerr, the world champion in the outdoor 1500 meters, has announced his intention to leave the Paris Olympics with his gold medal still around his neck.
On this occasion, he thoroughly dominated Ethiopia's defending champion Selemon Barega and judged his 3000m finish perfect.
Taking the lead with 400 meters to go, the 26-year-old showed no signs of relinquishing the lead, and the crowd rose to its feet as Kerr took a strong and memorable victory.
More than six months have passed since Kerr won the world outdoor gold medal in Budapest, dominating reigning Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigsen.
Kerr, who won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics, backed up his statement in early 2024 by breaking British legend Mo Farah's indoor two-mile world record, which had been held for nine years. And now he has another world title under his belt, boosting his confidence.
Kerr, who finished 12th at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham two years ago, said ahead of the championships that he wanted to finally do himself justice in front of his home crowd.
He achieved that here and further asserted himself as the man to beat in Paris.
