Matthew Hudson-Smith strikes silver for Great Britain in men’s 400 metres

Great Britain’s Matthew Hudson-Smith claimed his first Olympic medal with silver in a 400 metres final won by American Quincy Hall.

The Wolverhampton athlete was leading into the closing stages when Hall found another gear to snatch gold in a personal-best 43.40.

Hudson-Smith finished four hundredths of a second behind to lower his own European record, with Zambia’s Muzala Samukonga claiming bronze.

Hall’s winning time to beat world silver-medallist Hudson-Smith was good enough for the fifth-fastest in history at 400m.
