The 23 year-old overcame the odds of a difficult lane draw to sneak onto the podium with a 45.23secs clocking.
He now turns his attention to the 4x400m tomorrow.

Analysis of Final
Martyn Rooney allocated Lane 1 which Martyn is used to running out the last leg in the relay. Bingham being drawn in the unfavourable Lane 8.
Fast start in Lane 8 by Bingham - stormed round the first bend and had a big lead into the back straight. Had he gone too early at this point ?
Kevin Borlee (Belgium) also was going well at this stage. Rooney trying to get involved whilst still at the back at this stage at the 160m stage.
Bingham going into top bend going well what looked like a clear advantage at that stage.
On the final bend Gillick (Ireland and Martyn's training partner) and Borlee catching on Bingham whilst Rooney picked up in Lane 1 with 33.0 sec gone.
Bingham starting to fade at 34sec whilst Djhone (France) slightly ahead on straight. Rooney staying in lead from 33 sec to 44.2sec with 9 metres left to cover then the other Borlee (Lane 6) pushed forward by inches then by a foot with 5 metres from the leader Kevin Borlee in lane 6 towards the conclusion.
Djhone had lost strength at this point. A blanket finish that needed Photo Finish to confirm the result and where Rooney had actually finished - was it 3rd or 4th ?
It was then confirmed Rooney had got Bronze (See photo Finish) with Silver for Bingham as he had crept forward also at the last few inches.
An incredibly exciting race. No-one expected a finish like this ! The slow winning time of 45.08 was also a surprise especially with that unravelling finish. The Russian Kevin Borlee took Gold.
Gillick (5th) missed out after such a convincing Semi Final finish along with a fast time.
The Russian, Krasnov in Lane 7 was just out-dipped by Rooney which made the difference between 3rd and 4th. This can be seen in the photo finish link below but also one of the photo shots in the Photo Gallery album.
A well run race with a finish brilliantly executed by Martyn !

Rooney just scraped through into the final as a fastest loser thanks to a 45.0secs clocking. He is drawn in lane 1 for the Final.
You can watch his final on BBC2 tomorrow evening (Friday).
James Dasaolu though missed out on qualification for the final despite being well placed to go through as a fastest loser. He missed out by just 0.06secs. It is though the 22 year-old's first major international competition so there is definitely more to come from this exciting talent.
Well done guys, keep going!

A baptism of Fire being an International debut for James and a testing first Round race which James coped with well. A strong good performance all the way, out of the blocks nicely with a stagger away and engaged the big muscle groups and transfered the power well in his running.
Qualifying is what it is all about. The Semi Finals is where it matters to go further. This will be Thursday evening.
