Great Britain's Dai Greene wins the world 400m hurdles gold medal.

Great Britain's Dai Greene has won the 400m hurdles gold medal in Daegu, Team GB's first of the championships.

The Welshman ran in a time of 48.27, finishing ahead of Puerto Rico's Javier Culson, who was ahead going over the last hurdle, and South Africa's LJ Van Zyl.

Greene, 25, told Channel 4 after the race: "I was disappointed that I was a little bit off the pace, but coming off the last hurdle I just had so much momentum. I just thought I can't let this go, this is mine."

Team GB now move up to fourth in the overall medal table, behind the United States, Russia and Kenya.
