Christine Ohuruogu cruised to 400m glory at the British Grand Prix.
Britain's Olympic champion Christine Ohuruogu received a great reception at a wet Gateshead as she cruised to 400m glory at the British Grand Prix. Ohuruogu, who won in a comfortable 51.27 seconds, said "It means so much that so many people stayed behind in the rain to watch me." She added: "It was tough to come out and perform but I'm so glad I did and have the opportunity to thank them."
As the rain lashed down, the last thing the 7,000-strong crowd expected was a sub-10 second time, but the former world record holder stormed to victory in stunning style. Jamaican Asafa Powell, who only managed 9.95 at the games, powered through the puddles to win the 100m in 9.87.
