- © NRK Sports Spain's Natalia Rodriguez was disqualified as the winner of the women's 1500 metres here on Sunday leaving reigning world champion Maryam Yusuf Jamal of Bahrain to retain her crown. The 30-year-old Rodriguez was adjudged to have pushed over Ethiopian Gelete Burka down the back straight and although the African crashed to the ground, she picked herself up and finished the race. The Spanish team decided not to protest the decision after watching a video replay, according to an IAAF spokesperson. The disqualification means defending champion Jamal received the gold having clocked 4min 03.74secs while Great Britain's Lisa Dobriskey took silver in 4:03.75 and Shannon Rowbury of the United States got bronze having clocked 4:04.18. #45 - Most Viewed (Today) #4 - Most Viewed (Today) - Italy #47 - Most Viewed (This Week) - Italy
