Dean Patterson was involved in the Men’s 4x100m team as they won superb silver medals.

The GB quartet clocked 39.20 – the fastest for 13 years by a British team at this level – as Jake Odey Jordan and Joel Masters took the baton beffore Dean was on the third leg to hand over to Teddy Wilson on the anchor.

And Rebecca Grieve helped the Women’s 4x400m team as they made the podium, too, with bronze medal success at 3:32.80.
