BBC Sport at Doha
For most this World Championships was the stepping stone the next years Olympics – using just nine months prior to the athletes go again in the New National Stadium of Tokyo.
Wonderful Britain came off with seven track and field championships in Rio, a year after winning seven in the Beijing World Championships at 2015.
They left Doha with five medals in their bag – two gold and three silver – and Colin Jackson thinks British athletics is ata very wholesome state.
We have gold medallists here, now we have finalists here, which means that we are punching with the remainder of earth, the former world 110m hurdles winner mentioned.
So, using a little under 300 days to go until the Olympics starts, BBC Sport looks at Britains functionality in Doha – would be the next year that is expected? Or could some of these near misses become podium finishes?
Dina Asher-Smith, Britains golden girl in Qatar, delivered as predicted, but do not expect the sort of walk at the park she underwent at the 200m.
Thats partially because Bahamas Shaunae Miller-Uibo, who had the advantage on the Briton will be hoping to do the twice .
The program in Doha supposed Miller-Uibo was created to select between the two events – she selected at the 400m and won silver. A further amendment has been requested by her although the existing Olympic timetable is marginally more in her favour.
It is also unlikely that 100m champion , Olympic winner Elaine Thompson and other top competitions who withdrew from the 200m will do in Tokyo without really good reason.
And might Bahrains shock 400m world champion Salwa Eid Naser twice like Miller-Uibo? Even the 21-year-old had a few trips in case this season and is maturing.
Medals for Asher-Smith at the 100m and 200m? Yes, likely. But the competition for gold will find that tiny bit harder.
There has been lots of stress and expectation for Dina and to her to come and provide that performance in the 200m, later medalling in the 100m, was just good, Jackson explained.
I know a great deal of people would sayOh, was not it easier [granted who wasnt there] but no, its never easy to win a World Championship gold medal.
She was asked if she now had edge over Nafissatou Thiam, who she dethroned to acquire the world heptathlon title After Katarina Johnson-Thompson sat for a interview with BBC Sport.
It was a resoundingno, with Johnson-Thompson including:I hope her to come back all guns blazing.
The Belgian carried an elbow injury that meant she fell short in the shot put and javelin, while her long jump finest was down on the 6.86m she handled when she conquered the 26-year-old Briton at Birmingham this summer.
And watch out for medallist Victoria Preiner of Austria, when she improves her high jump and long jump, that could develop into a force.
But barring injury Johnson-Thompson is better – will she get over 7,000 things for the first time?
Its very likely to be just yet another titanic battle between Thiam and KJT for its Tokyo title .
Because the veteran sports hero of Great Britain, Mo Farah, is set to place for an assault on the Olympic marathon name Believe Arnie returning in Terminator or Stallone in Rambo.
A four-time Olympic champion, Even the 36-year-old, resigned from track following London 2017 and began to concentrate on the marathonand after winning the Great North Run he resisted his desire to opt for gold over 26 kilometers in Tokyo.
The first key thing in his bid is when he tries to shield his Chicago Marathon name – his only success over the distance – .
But arguably the best man at the moment is Callum Hawkins, who came near a medal at the marathon of Saturday.
The Scot, fourth that collapsed while leading at last years Commonwealth Games and two years ago, demonstrated he is a championships performer by how he took for the world title to the favourites.
Adam Gemili has got down the pained expression . He also came close to winning a 200m decoration at Rio 2016 and once more he chased out by fractions at Doha.
The 25-year-olds development in recent seasons has been hampered by hamstring problems, but should he remain injury-free there arent many who can keep him off a podium spot. Forget gold because brand new world winner Noah Lyles is in another league.
Miguel Francis, 24, that ran 19.88 seconds until he switched allegiance from Antigua into Great Britain at 2015, is another prospect from the event. Injury hit his Doha expects.
Finalist Zharnel Hughes, and injured Reece Prescod, that missed the Worlds through injury possess an outside chance at the 100m which is wide open behind winner Christian Coleman, whos likely to be the next year that is favourite.
European 1500m winner Laura Muir will hope for greater preparation than for Doha, having never raced for two weeks in the end.
The managed to perform far better than expected in finishing fifth in the final as she came best. She says it works well for Tokyo, and not many could disagree.
Josh Kerr, Jake Wightman and fellow Scots Neil Gourley attained the mens ultimate by showing strategic nous in the earlier rounds, finishing 11th, sixth and fifth respectively.
Mentally I was ready but I wasnt there, said Gourley of the 1500m final revealing.
Getting to finals is not my aim in this sport – Im here in order to get medals.
Seventh sixth in London, in Beijing and fourth in Doha – pole vaulter Holly Bradshaw has demonstrated shes a podium competition at Tokyo.
He will have a solid shout of a trophy if Cumbrian Nick Miller will replicate his hammer throw at the 2018 Commonwealth Games afterward. It had been contended his throw in the Doha closing – that looked over that mark – should have been ruled legal rather than a foul.
From the event of the women, it is going to be interesting to see what shape Rio bronze medallist Sophie Hitchon is at later attempting to forego Doha to prepare Tokyo.
And – which will include an Olympic event for the first time – where Britain has a proud heritage.
Youre speaking minor gross profits, explained Jackson when asked regarding Great Britains four fourth-placed finishes.
When youre making a statement regarding how many awards you want to win, youre always going to have to add those in.
If we could have surprises, then are other nations.
