A very costly false start .
Jeremiah Azu of Team Great Britain in discussion with officials after being disqualified during the Men’s 100m British sprinter Jeremiah Azu suffered a heartbreaking disqualification from the Olympic men’s 100m after a costly false start. The 23-year-old lined up in the opening heat of the blue-riband event but his competition was effectively over before it even started.
Azu attempted to argue his case but was eventually forced to depart the arena having been led away by a steward. ‘Honestly, I just reacted to a sound,’ said Azu before confirming he would appeal the decision. ‘It’s a shame. The crowd are so excited and the French fans are here. “It’s a shame that they didn’t let me run at the protest – I’m not sure what rules are being used but they have said I need to go back and put an appeal in so I’m going to go through the process and see what happens.
