400m Women: World leading Miller leaves the rest adrift

World silver medallist Shaunae Miller lived up to her billing as the world number one led from gun to tape to beat the fast-finishing Jamaican Stephanie Ann McPherson and USA’s Natasha Hastings in 50.45. Miller was out quickest in lane six with Hastings chasing hard two lanes inside before McPherson responded around the final bend to chase the Bahaman home in 50.98, her best of the year. Hastings was clear in third in 51.10 with two-time Shanghai winner Novlene Williams-Mills some way back in fourth.
