Richards-Ross ends American 400m gold drought
London - AFP
American Sanya Richards-Ross won the women\'s 400m Olympic title here on Sunday in a time of 49.55sec to end a 28-year gold drought in the event for the United States. Defending champion Christine Ohuruogu of Great Britain finished second in 49.70sec while DeeDee Trotter of the United States took bronze in 49.72sec. Richards-Ross, 27, became the first American to win the Olympic title since Valerie Brisco-Hooks in Los Angeles in 1984. In a thrilling race, Richards-Ross came strongly off the bend to fight it out with Trotter while Ohuruogu finished with a stunning final burst. However, unlike in Beijing four years ago it was not enough to see the Briton - who lives near the Olympic Park - to get past the 2009 world champion. Richards-Ross, who is married to NFL defensive back Aaron Ross, shook her hands in celebration after crossing the line on realising she had gained revenge on her bitter rival for defeat for years ago.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
