Will Beijing see the best in the World ?
Christine Ohuruogu's 400-metre win at the World Championships in Osaka raises as many questions as it answers but nothing can detract from an amazing run and a much needed boost for British athletics.
A 49.61 seconds best ever time for her saw Nicola Sanders, who also finished with a personal best of 49.65 edged into second for a superb British one-two.
In London the Times's chief sports writer asked .... "How fast do you have to go if you want to outrun your past?" Well Ohuruogu is giving it a really good go and she has come out on top of the world.
The Sun ran with :
"Please don't make this the face of our London Olympics" being more concerned about the London Olympics, years away, than any victory today in Osaka that put a British athlete on the top of the podium. If the Brit World Champion races in Beijing and takes home gold the mood will change.
