Ohuruogu's Personal Best of 49.61 ranks her third amongst British women 400 m runners. Ohuruogu was selected for the British team at the 2007 Athletics World Championships. Despite only running five competitive races before the final since her suspension for missing out of competition drugs tests she managed to take the individual 400m and secure the only gold medal for Great Britain at the Championships. She also took bronze in the 400m relay.  Mark Ramprakash Mark Ramprakash:Surrey batsman, Mark Ramprakash has been the most prolific run scorer in English domestic cricket over the last decade.
