Stephanie McPherson triumphs as Jamaica dominate 400m final

Stephanie McPherson clinches gold in the 400m as Jamaica dominate the final at Hampden Park.

Stephanie McPherson pulled in her rivals in the home stretch before claiming victory in the 400m final at the Commonwealth Games on Tuesday night.

Novlene Williams-Mills earned breathing space between herself and the rest of the field with a strong start, but she was left helpless as her Jamaican teammate stormed to the gold medal.

Botswana's Amantle Montsho and Williams-Mills had looked set to battle it out for the win, but the latter seemed to be struggling in the closing stages.

Christine Day followed McPherson's example to produce an excellent final 100m to snatch bronze from Montsho and ensure that the podium would be filled with three Jamaicans.
