Trowbridge sprinter Danny Talbot wins Gold for GB

Trowbridge's sprinter Danny Talbot became a world champion on Saturday night as Great Britain's men's 4x100m relay quartet claimed a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships.

The British quartet of CJ Ujah, Adam Gemili, Talbot and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake pipped the United States to gold in a world-leading 37.47 seconds - also a new European record - but only after Bolt had pulled up on his anchor leg and collapsed to the track.

The USA took silver in 37.52secs and Japan the bronze.
