Anning wins historic world indoor 400m gold for GB

Amber Anning announced herself on the global stage by becoming Great Britains first womens 400m champion at the World Athletics Indoor Championships.

At the beginning of her first season as a professional athlete, Anning clocked 50.60 seconds to edge a dramatic race to the line against American Alexis Holmes.

It is only two weeks since the 24-year-old was left devastated at the European indoors, where her medal bid was ended by a disqualification for a lane infringement.

But Anning held her nerve following a mid-race shove from Holmes before measuring her final effort to perfection to secure her first international title in Nanjing, China.
