Bahamian Sprinter Dives Over Finish Line To Win Gold! by ofadaa: 4:35am On Aug 16, 2016 |
Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas won a dramatic gold medal in the women's 400m final at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Miller, 22, finished second to Felix at the World Championships in Beijing in 2015 and had a decent lead with 50 metres remaining. However, with Felix closing quickly, a fatigued Miller collapsed over the line to win the gold medal by 0.07secs. In a thrilling sprint finish Miller stumbled across the line as she edged out American world champion Allyson Felix to win in 49.44 seconds. Source: http://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/36689787
