REFILE-Athletics-Eid Naser destroys field, stuns Miller-Uibo to win 400 metres
- Country:
- Qatar
Bahrain's Salwa Eid Naser destroyed the field and stunned Olympic champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo as she became the first Asian to win the women's 400 metre world title on Thursday.
The Nigerian-born Eid Naser, 21, surged past Miller-Uibo on the back straight to win in 48.14 seconds, the third fastest time in history, while Miller-Uibo took silver in 48.37. Eid Naser seemed to be in a state of shock as she sat on the track and covered her mouth with her hand at the end of the race.
Bahamian Miller-Uibo managed to close the gap down the back straight but left it too late to catch her rival. Jamaica's Shericka Jackson took bronze.
