Great Britain won no golds at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo — their first gold-less Worlds in 22 years — finishing with five medals (21st). Key themes: relay failures (no relay medals since 2003), individual podiums (Wightman, Hunt, Hunter-Bell, Hodgkinson, Johnson‑Thompson), injuries to leading athletes, extreme heat/humidity and distant warm‑up facilities, reduced funding and calls for review ahead of Beijing 2027.
