Knight initially appeared to have come first by a thousandth of a second after throwing her arm out ahead of Canada’s Kyra Constantine.

 

Judges ruled that Williams and Ohuruogu stepped out of their lane during the handover for the second leg, meaning Canada took the victory with Jamaica second and Scotland were promoted to bronze.
