Jackson touched in four minutes 00.60 seconds, with Adlington a battling third in 4:00.79.

Gold went to Italy's Federica Pellegrini, who became the first woman to cover 400m in less than four minutes with a time of 3:59.15.

The atmosphere had been red-hot before the race and the Italian's victory was greeted with deafening roars and a rousing rendition of the national anthem.

Adlington said: "We've got PBs. It's a very different environment, getting used to the heat. We are back to morning heats and evening finals.

"It's very different this time and obviously on home ground she has got all that crowd cheering for her, it's definitely her night.

"It's definitely something I'm going to remember for the rest of my life. And in London that will be our crowd. We just want to match what she has done."
