Great Britain’s Matthew Hudson-Smith missed out on Olympic 400m gold by four-hundredths of a second in a dramatic finish at Paris 2024.
The 29-year-old improved his European record to 43.44 seconds but was pipped on the line by American Quincy Hall, who triumphed in a personal best 43.40 in a thrilling conclusion.
It was another agonising near-miss on a global stage for Hudson-Smith, who went within 0.09secs of the world title 12 months ago.
Hudson-Smith, who was favourite for gold as the fastest man in the world this year, becomes the first British man to make the Olympic 400m podium in 28 years.
