Woodford Green with Essex Ladies' Tiffany Porter picked up her fifth consecutive 100m hurdles win at the Great CityGames, despite landing in Newcastle just five hours before her event.

Porter, 27, finished ahead of the United States' Jasmin Stowers, Germany's Cindy Roleder and teammate Serita Solomin with a time of 12.77.

She had been competing in the Diamond League in Brussels, Belgium, the previous night and subsequently only arrived in the north east at 10.05am on Saturday.

Speaking afterwards the Commonwealth Games silver medallist said: "This is my fifth consecutive Great CityGames victory. I love the street races, I really thrive off the crowd and it is such a good atmosphere.

"I actually ran quicker here than I did last night which makes no sense; I didn't even sleep last night!

"I’m really surprised to run that time but I always seem to have good luck here. The support is awesome, we really appreciate these crowds coming out and cheering for us. To come out here and get the win is really special."
