Britain’s Jake Wightman produced a stunning run to take 1500m gold at the World Championships in Oregon.
The 28-year-old produced a brilliant final burst to pass Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen and clinch the title in three minutes 29.23.
Wightman looked stunned as he crossed the line in a world-leading time.
He is the first British man to win the world 1500m title since Steve Cram in 1983.
Wightman’s father, Geoff, is the stadium announcer in Eugene and was able to call his son’s victory.
“Running is coming home. Wow. That is my son and he is the world champion,” he told the Hayward Field crowd.
Ingebrigtsen took silver in 3:29.47, with Spain’s Mohamed Katir third.
“I was running for my life down the home straight,” Wightman told BBC Sport.
“It is still just shock and disbelief that this has actually happened. It probably won’t sink in until I have retired.”
It is Britain’s second medal of the championships after Laura Muir won bronze in the women’s 1500m on Tuesday.
