Hall produced one of the most incredible final stretches to a race you will ever see.

The American was clearly in fourth place a few strides behind the leaders as they made the turn for the final 100 meters.

Then Hall produced a kick of speed that few athletes can deliver and not only won but took first place four-hundredths of a second clear of the silver medalist.

Hall's incredible run brought the men's 400-meter title back to the United States. LaShawn Merritt in 2008 was the last American winner of the race and he extended a streak of seven straight wins for Team USA.

Great Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith took the silver medal and Zambia's Muzala Samukonga took bronze.

Kirani James, a two-time medalist and 2012 winner in the event, came in fifth. Americans Christopher Bailey and Michael Norman took sixth and eighth.
