For Breen it has been a fantastic championships with the long jump delivering her first major world title.

Now in the 100m she was close to a medal in a race that will be long remembered by those who were in the stadium.

Hahn, from Nottinghamshire, also won the 200m the previous Saturday in a world record earlier in the competition.

Her old 100m world best was 12.60secs two years ago in Doha in the last World Championships.

A time 12.49 at the Loughborough International Athletics 2017 meet in May was not ratified but was a sign of what was to come for her.

She said: ‘I knew I was going well in training so I just thought I’d got to win the gold to do a repeat of last Saturday.

‘I was feeling really good this week and to get a double world record is phenomenal.

‘When I crossed the line I caught a glimpse of the clock and when I saw the time I was absolutely over the moon.

‘I’d like to go maybe 12.3 or 12.2 seconds. I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself but we’ll see what happens next year.’
