Caster Semenya has added the 800m title to her 1500m crown to complete a golden double at the Commonwealth Games.

The two-time Olympic and three-time world champion in the event led from the front and never looked like being caught as she repeated her achievement from the 1500m of breaking the Games record en route to gold.

Semenya's time of 1:56.68 saw her comfortably surpass the previous mark, which had stood for 16 years, although she was still some way short of breaking the oldest track world record in athletics - set in 1983.

Kenya's Margaret Wambui was 1.39s off Semenya's pace to finish second, holding off the challenge of Jamaica's Natoya Goule, who won bronze with a personal-best time of 1:58.82.

England's Alexandra Bell was also taking part in the race, but she could only manage a fifth-place finish behind Uganda's Winnie Nanyondo.
