Rio 2016: Wolverhampton's Matthew Hudson-Smith books Olympics place

Wolverhampton athlete Matthew Hudson-Smith produced a scintillating run on his home track to win the British Championships 400m title and join the other 37 athletes who have secured automatic selection for the Olympic Games.

The Birchfield Harrier got out of the blocks hard at Alexander Stadium on Sunday, leading down the back straight.

Coming off the bend he pushed again to move away from Rabah Yousif and Martyn Rooney to stop the clock in season's best 44.88 seconds.

"It was a really strong field and we have some fantastic athletes which is great for our relay team. I knew what I was up against but I just wanted to go out there and execute my race. I've been watching this race since I was 12 so to become British champion is crazy."
