Great Britain's Neil Gourley has clinched 1500m silver as GB has grabbed three medals at European Indoors Championships in Istanbul.

Neil Gourley claimed the second spot close to Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the 1500 meters, while sprinter Daryll Neita and middle-distance runner Melissa Courtney-Bryant both finished third and claimed bronzes for their nation.

Olympic champion Ingebrigtsen held off the Scot within the house straight to win a brand new championship by finishing the track in three minutes 33.95 seconds. While Neil Gourley clocked 3mins 34.23secs to claim the second spot on the podium.

Neita was among the favorites to win women's 60m gold, but Switzerland's Mujinga Kambundji triumphed in a new championship record of 7.00s.

Poland's Ewa Swodboda claimed the silver in 7.09s, with Neita three-hundredths of a second slower in the third.

Courtney-Bryant had earlier claimed Britain's first medal with bronze in the women's 3,000m.
