GB's women take bronze in 4x400m relay

Great Britain's women claimed a bronze medal after finishing third in the 4x400m relay final at the 2016 Olympics in Rio this evening.

Christine Ohuruogu, competing in what could be her last Olympics, produced a standout final charge in order to seal third spot, after Emily Diamond, Anyika Onuora and Eilidh Doyle had laid down some positive foundations.

With Team GB finishing up in third, it was the United States who finished in first place to take gold, following a dominant display from Allyson Felix and her team.

Jamaica, who were tipped to finish in a gold-winning position, were forced to settle for silver.
