Christian Malcolm just failed to claim Britain's third medal of the World Athletics Championships in a thrilling 200m final in Edmonton.

The gold went to Olympic champion Konstadinos Kederis of Greece, who was a clear winner in 20.04sec.

But there was a blanket finish for the rest of the field - and Malcolm was denied a medal by just two one-hundredths of a second.

A photo finish was needed to determine the places and it left the Welshman in fifth spot.

Christopher Williams of Jamaica was second in 20.20sec - and the finish was so close that even after a long delay the judges were unable to separate the next two athletes.

So Shawn Crawford of the US and Kim Collins of St Kitts were both awarded bronze medals for running exactly the same time as Williams.
