These are the entries by event for the worlds, can someone explain how GB have 5 athletes in both the men's 800m and 1500m?

Short answer, they don't. 

 

They have 4 listed in the 800m and 5 listed in the 1500m. 

 

That's because in the 1500m they have the reigning WC in Josh Kerr, so we *do* get 4 entries into the final event. 

 

We've named a reserve in each event in case of late injury (Davies in the 800m, Fogg in the 1500m).

 

Same is true in the men's 100m (Hinchliffe), women's 200m (Eduan) and women's 1500m (Snowden).

 

It's fairly common for teams to do that if they have an athlete who would get in the field anyway if there were an injury to a compatriot. 

 

If you look at the US team, they have a named reserve in pretty much every event.
