#ReturnToLondon: No medal for Jamaica in 400m, Bahamian favourite injured

The Jamaican trio of Shericka Jackson, Stephenie-Ann McPherson and Novlene Williams-Mills placed 5th, 6th and 8th respectively in the final of the women's 400 metres.

Jackson registered 50.76 seconds, McPherson 50.86 and Williams-Mills 51.48.

Coming into the home stretch it was all Shaunae Miller-Uibo, the 400 Metres Olympic Champion.

However, with 20 or so metres to go and day light between herself and the field, Miller-Uibo seemingly suffered an injury to her left leg resulting in a fourth place finish of 50.49 seconds.

American Phyllis Francis found an extra gear to clock a personal best 49.92 seconds and claim the gold medal.

Multiple-time world champion Allyson Felix was third in 50.08 with Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain second in a new national record of 50.06 seconds.
