GB sprinter Jeremiah Azu suffered the heartbreak of being disqualified from the Olympic men's 100m heats in Paris because of a false start, after his appeal was turned down.
The 23-year-old Welshman was not allowed to race and his subsequent protest was turned down, leaving him bereft."It's a shame, the crowd is so excited, they have got the pole vault going on, the French fans are in here."I was saying I want to run under protest. Any other race they allow you to run and then afterwards you review it. It's the Olympics so it is clearly different rules.
"The pressure is not the issue because this is the Olympic Games, you are a professional athlete, this what you do.
