Team GB captain Dai Greene scraped into tomorrow?s Olympic final of the 400metres hurdles by the skin of his teeth after finishing fourth in the opening semi-final. Dai Greene is hoping to find top gear at the right time in the 400m hurdles (Picture: PA) World champion Greene had an anxious wait to see if his time of 48.19 seconds would be good enough after the race, with only the first two qualifying automatically and the next fastest two from all three semis also reaching the final. Luckily for the 26-year-old Welshman, he did make it through as one of the fastest qualifiers, keeping his hopes alive of capturing a medal. However, there was bad news for Greene?s training partner, Jack Green, who clattered into the third hurdle in the second semi-final and crashed to the track. European champion Rhys Williams also missed out after finishing fourth in the last semi-final in 49.63secs . Defending Olympic champion Christine Ohuruogu ran a season?s best of 50.22 to qualify for the women?s 400m final, which takes place this evening. However, team-mates Shana Cox and Lee McConnell failed in their respective bids to make the final as both of them finished in seventh spot in their semis. PICTURES: Window on the Olympics
