Grenada’s Kirani James signalled his intention to add Oympic gold to the 400m world title he claimed last year with a convincing victory at the Boston Indoor athletics meeting on Saturday.

James clocked 45.96sec, fastest in the world so far this year, as he again demonstrated that US dominance of the men’s Olympic 400m is under threat.

James posted an emphatic victory over American Josh Scott (46.54), Trinidad’s Renny Quow (46.70) and the Virgin Islands’ Tabarie Henry (46.88).
