The Women's 400m event at the 2016 Rio Olympics produced one of the most exciting races of the season.
Shaunae Miller of Bahamas who was the world leading runner for 2016 & Allyson Felix, the 2015 World Champion were the favourites for the race. It was a neck to neck competition with Miller leading Felix by 2 metres off the final turn. At that point, Felix accelerated and Miller seemed to have run out of gas. Felix was looking good for the Gold Medal, which would have been her 7th of all time.
However, what controversial moment happened towards the end that resulted in Miller being the Olympic Champion?
