The two Brits were out in front of the field eyeing a stunning one-two finish.

However, Kenya’s Lilian Odira then blitzed past the pair to claim victory in a new championship record time of 1:54.62.

Hunter Bell ran an incredible time of 1:54.90, beating Hodgkinson to second by 0.01 seconds.

And Hodgkinson, who won Olympic gold in Paris last summer, looked devastated to have fallen to third in the standings.

But her and Hunter Bell’s brace of medals still ensured it was still a historic day for British Athletics.

Their silver and bronze haul meant it was the first time in 18 years that Britain had won two medals in the same event.
