Having enjoyed a well documented rivalry with Richards-Ross at the major championships in recent years, Ohuruogu came out on top with an outstanding victory and world lead time at the Beijing Games in 2008, but Richards-Ross dominated on the world stage 12 months later in Berlin, with an exceptional gold medal winning performance.

They’ll both have to watch out for Richards-Ross US team mate, World 200m Champion Alyson Felix who is also part of this incredible line up.
