Great Britain’s Amy Hunt won silver in a thrilling women’s 200m final to announce her arrival on the world stage on day seven of the World Athletics Championships, while 100m champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden became the first American woman to win the sprint double at the same world championships.
Hunt made a relatively slow start and was in danger of being left behind but recovered superbly to storm down the final straight, beating defending champion Shericka Jackson by just four-hundredths of a second for silver.
