Jeanette Kwakye on Friday night secured an impressive silver medal in the 60 metres at the World Indoor Championships in Valencia.

The 24-year-old British champion just missed out by two hundredths of a second when edged out in the last few strides by Angela Williams, the American winning in 7.06 seconds.

But Kwakye, who equalled the 22-year-old British record of 7.13secs in her semi-final, made it her own property with a superb time of 7.08secs.
