Premier League icon's son in huge Olympics bust-up after race chaos
MATTHEW HUDSON-SMITH suffered Olympic 400m heartbreak as he was pipped at the post by world champion Quincy Hall despite a personal-best time.
But there will be no silver-screen treatment of Vangelis music for Hudson-Smith, who was beaten at the final dip by American Hall, despite having charged into the lead down the final straight.Hudson-Smith had also been bidding to become the first British man to win an Olympic sprint gold since Linford Christie in Barcelona in 1992overtook Trinidad’s Jereem Richards off the final bend but Hall arrived like a train to defeat him by just 0.04secs.
Hudson-Smith arrived in Paris as the fastest man in the world over one lap this year - with a previous personal best time of 43.74sec, which beat his own European record in London last month.
