Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson, running out of Lane five, earned a bronze medal in the Women’s 400m Olympic final on Monday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
She ran through the line to claim third place in a time of 49.85s.
Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas, who had the world-leading time this year, copped the gold medal with a lunge at the line and a personal best of 49.44s.
American Allyson Felix, running beside Jackson in Lane four, finished a close second in 49.51s, despite it seeming as if she would have pipped Miller at the line.
Fellow Jamaican Stephenie McPherson finished sixth with 50.97s, running out of Lane eight.

Well done to Shericka. It’s the honour of competing for your country on an international platform that matters but even better when you get to take something back.
