BBC Sport – Great Britain’s Christine Ohuruogu regained her 400m World Championship title with a stunning finish in Moscow.
The 29-year-old beat defending champion Amantle Montsho by four thousandths of a second in a photo-finish in a new British record of 49.41 seconds.
The British captain and Olympic silver medallist had work to do having come off the bend in fourth. But Ohuruogu reeled Montsho in to steal gold, six years after her last triumph at the world championships. Botswana’s Montsho took the silver with Russia’s Antonina Krivoshapka taking the bronze in 49.78.
It was Great Britain’s second gold medal of the world championships after Mo Farah took gold in the 10,000m on the opening day. Ohuruogu told BBC Sport: “I can’t believe I’ve done that, it feels like a dream. It is what I have been working towards all season.
“It was so tight on the line and I was so desperate to win it. I just wanted my name to come up.
“The last couple of days have been really tough and I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me. It feels really surreal and strange, it doesn’t feel like I’m really here.
“I was thinking do what you can, just get over the line. The icing on the cake is the national record, that’s all I wanted.
“Whatever you want just go for it, I am really happy I kept believing and trusting in what I could do.”
