Barkley Marathons runner Jasmin Paris describes moment she crosses finish line

Jasmin Paris - who made history by becoming the first woman to finish one of the world's hardest ultramarathons - has described her final dash to the finish line.

She completed the notorious Barkley Marathons in Tennessee just one minute and 39 seconds before the 60-hour cut-off.

Only 20 people have ever made it to the end of the race within the allotted time since it was extended to 100 miles in 1989.

Watch as she describes what was going through her mind during those final few strides.
