Moments after being crowned the fastest woman at the CWG, Australia's Sally Pearson's golden moment turned into a nightmare.


She was disqualified for a false start and her gold was given to Nigeria's Oludamola Osayemi. Subsequently, bronze medal winner Natasha Mayers will get silver and fourth placed Endacott Katherine will win bronze.
