Hot favourites Russia streaked away to win the women's 4x400m relay as Great Britain missed out on a medal.
The Russians led from start to finish, with Britain always struggling after a disappointing opening leg from Lee McConnell.
At the lane break, the Brits were back in fifth and Emma Duck and Marilyn Okoro failed to make serious inroads into that deficit.
Individual finalist Nicola Sanders had a lot to do when she received the baton on the anchor leg and despite an impressive fightback she could only pass one athlete in the home straight, leaving Belarus and Poland to pick up the minor medals.
The Russians won in 3.25.12 with the British time being 3.28.17.
