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 in 2024, becomes the first Briton to make the Olympic men’s 400m podium in 28 years.
This was another outstanding performance by Hudson-Smith, who was denied gold only by a sensational finish by Hall who chased down his rivals in the closing stages.
The British athlete held the lead coming in to the home straight but just could not hold out as Hall fought his way from third to gold.
