KEELY HODGKINSON won her Battle of Britain with Laura Muir - but once again had to settle for second best.
Britain's world and Olympic silver medallist was expected to upgrade to gold at the third attempt, inside a packed Alexander Stadium.
But Kenya's Mary Moraa had other ideas, surging at the start, dropping back, then bolting through off the final bend to break the heart of the British record holder.
It was further disappointment for the home crowd who came full of hope of another Super Saturday.
World champion Jake Wightman was beaten into third place in the men's 1500m, leaving hammer thrower Nick Miller (right) as the only home nation winner.
Hodgkinson, 20, came in with eyes only for gold - declaring her ambition to be "one of the best that the world has ever seen". She looked to have done everything right, timing her run to reel in long-time leader Natoya Goule.
