Watch Josh Kerr win 3,000m world indoor title
Josh Kerr and Molly Caudery won gold medals on an epic night for Great Britain at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow.
Roared on by the crowd, Josh won the 3,000m to become the first Scot to land world indoor gold in 31 years.

Both are now dreaming of medals at the Paris Olympics this summer.

Britain's Molly Caudery wins pole vault gold
Molly Caudery won silver at the 2022 Commonwealth Games silver medallist and has been performing better and better ever since.
She's now made herself a serious medal contender for the Olympics in Paris.
Speaking after her win, Molly said she was proud of herself and that she had "dreamed of it but wasn't sure if it could come true."
Kerr delivers gold on homecoming
Josh Kerr is already the outdoor 1500m world champion and has made clear he wants to leave the Paris Olympics with a gold medal hanging around his neck.
On this occasion, once he hit the front with 100m remaining, the crowd rose to their feet and cheered him to a memorable victory.
Josh said he felt he'd let the UK crowds down a bit in recent years with his performances and wanted to really show what he could do.
"I put the hard work in and I don't cut corners and I think it ends up in performances," he added.
