Brussels - World champion Sanya Richards of the United States clocked the best time this season in the 400m when she stormed to victory at the Brussels Golden League meeting here on Friday.

Richards, one of three athletes still in contention for the one-million-dollar Golden League jackpot, won in 48.83sec.

It was the 40th time she had run under 50sec.

Britain's Olympic champion Christine Ohuruogu was second in 50.43sec.

Richards's time also bettered the stadium record of 48.87sec set by East Germany's Marita Koch in 1982.
