TOKYO (Reuters) -Kenya's Lilian Odira produced a storming finish to win an astonishing women’s 800 metres world gold on Sunday, smashing her personal best by almost two seconds and erasing the 42-year-old championship record.
Odira looked out of it with 30 metres to go but surged past two Britons leading the race to win in one minute, 54.62 seconds, beating the mark set by Czech Jarmila Kratochvilova at the first world championships in 1983.
