Ohuruogu wins Women's 400m title

Christine Ohuruogu of Great Britain won the gold medal in the Women's 400m on August 19, at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

Ohuruogu recorded a season's best of 49.62 seconds to add the Olympic gold medal to the World Championships title she won in Osaka in 2007.

"I am just so proud of myself," Ohuruogu said.

"You always have all these dreams about winning, but you never think your dreams will be reality. I just ran across the line, thinking, 'I won!'," she added.

Silver medalist Shericka Williams of Jamaica ran 49.69s for a personal best, ahead of Sanya Richards of the United States who settled for bronze with a time of 49.93s.
