The 29-year-old Christine Ohuruogu, the 2007 world champion, produced another thrilling late wins in the 400m race to become the first British female to win two World Championship titles.
She beat the defending champion Amantle Montsho by four thousandths of a second as both of them clocked 49.41 seconds.
Montsho, 30, had victory within her grasp and even as the two athletes stood on the finishing line, anxiously awaiting the final result, Ohuruogu gave the impression that her perfectly-timed dip had not been enough.
But after closer inspection, it was revealed that the Londoner had crossed the line in 49.404, while Montsho, who failed to dip, finished in 49.408.
