Amber Anning announced herself on the global stage by becoming Great Britain’s first women’s 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.
