Miller, who looked certain to be caught before diving, or falling, over the line, said: "This is the moment I have been waiting for, I just gave it my all.

"I am just so happy, so grateful, such emotions I just can't say.

"I've been going through so much this year. Everyone at home will all be celebrating right now."

Jamaica's Shericka Jackson ended up with the bronze medal as one of three to run a sub-50secs.
