Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson took silver in the European Championships 800m final in Birmingham, as rival Audrey Werro claimed gold. The Olympic champion ran 1:55:01, narrowly missing a third European title in a tightly contested race.
Werro's dramatic path to gold
Werro, who earlier this season ran the fastest time in 43 years, suffered a dramatic fall in her semi-final, putting her place in the final in doubt. The 22-year-old Swiss athlete crashed to the floor and finished last, but after an appeal, she was reinstated for the final.
Investigation into the fall
A TV camera angle appeared to show Werro clipping her own leg before falling, but an investigation showed France's Anais Bourgoin had hit Werro's right foot with her left hand.
