World 4x400m champion and Olympic 4x400m silver medallist Christine Day has been among the leading one-lap runners for the past few seasons. But to reach her current status, the Jamaican has had to overcome a longstanding knee injury.

Novlene Williams-Mills overtook Francena McCorory in the closing metres to lead Jamaica to victory in the 4x400m on the closing night of the IAAF World championships, Beijing 2015.

Omar McLeod and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce dashed to world-leading 110m hurdles and 100m times at the Jamaican Championships in Kingston, which ended on Sunday (28) after four days of competition.

The women’s 400m hurdles should be one of the main attractions on Saturday (19) at the Meeting de Madrid, an IAAF World Challenge and IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge meeting and Spain’s most prestigious athletics competition, thanks to the presence of world leader Kaliese Spencer.
