    Britain's Adam Fogg speaking on BBC Two after missing out on the men's 1500m final: "To be honest I couldn't have given it anything more. I think at the Euros I didn't quite have it, today I really wanted to get through. I was in a great spot, it was really slow, I thought it would be cagey so I would go from far out. I just was running all-out, got overtaken and had nothing.

    "It is pretty embarrassing to be honest getting to this stage, ready to do alright and then it not going well at all.

    "I felt like I had been running very slowly and I knew I could close quickly but I didn't have it at the moment. I'm not quite there. I'm making progress, I've come a long way, but the bar on the world stage keeps getting raised.

    "I need to keep working hard. I think I'm capable of getting to the final but then I'm wiped out in the heats. I gave it all I had but it wasn't enough."
