Brilliant Ohuruogu lands 400m gold
Christine Ohuruogu sank to her knees in disbelief tonight after becoming the first British woman ever to win the Olympic 400 metres title.
Ohuruogu produced a storming finish to overhaul favourite Sanya Richards and win in a time of 49.62 seconds and add Olympic gold to the world title won in Osaka last year.
Richards tied up badly down the home straight and could only finish third behind Jamaica’s Shericka Williams.
