The sports cliché of "wanting it more" rang true for 22-year-old Bahamian runner Shaunae Miller on Monday night.

Miller, competing in lane seven, raced out to a lead in the 400 meters final only to see US runner Allyson Felix make a big push over the final 100 meters.

With the two runners in a near lock approaching the finish line, Miller dived for the finish and narrowly sealed gold.

Some wondered initially whether she tripped, but replays appeared to indicate that Miller intentionally dived for the gold medal.

Here is video of the replay:

While it showed tremendous heart from Miller, it was a brutal finish for Felix, who also missed qualifying for the 200 meters by a tenth of a second.

For Miller, the bumps and bruises of the dive on the track will all be worth it for the gold.

Here is the full video of the end of the race:
