Jeremy Wariner ran the third fastest-ever time to defend his 400 metres title in style at the World Championships in Osaka on Friday night.

After a conservative start, Wariner came off the final bend and powered down the home straight to win in 43.45seconds at Nagai stadium.

The 23-year-old Texan’s devastating burst saw him lead LaShawn Merritt and Angelo Taylor to a clean sweep of the medals for Team USA.
