Great Britain's Christine Ohuruogu broke Kathy Cook's 29-year-old
national record tonight as she won her second 400 metres World
Championship in stunning fashion. Ohuruogu sets a new British record to
claim Gold in Moscow after pipping Amantle Montsho on the dip for the line.
Six years on from triumphing in Osaka, the 29-year-old team captain crossed the line in 49.41 seconds - shaving two hundredths of a second off the time set by Cook in 1984.
It was far from easy for Ohuruogu, though, and it had looked like gold was Amantle Montsho's until an incredible late surge and dip for the line secured victory by four thousandths of a second.
