Bahamian Shaune Miller dives for Gold

Date:

‘I have some cuts and bruises, a few burns… it hurts. I’ve never done it before’, said Shaune.

Miller dove over the finish line for 400m gold, beating  USA’s Allyson Felix and denying her of fifth gold medal. Miller completed in 49.44 seconds, .07 ahead of Felix (49.51).

Felix was in tears, “I really wanted it,” she said.

Miller’s Olympic debut came at the 2012 London Olympics, but the then 18-year-old had a hamstring injury and had to sit out the event.

‘When I was on the ground I didn’t know I’d won. What was in my mind was I had to get a gold medal. The next thing I was on the ground. It’s an amazing feeling.’

Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson finished third place.
