- Sprinter took two minutes in 200m heat after warm-up injury
- False starts and injuries contribute to sense of disaster
A disastrous Olympic Games for Team GB’s sprinters became even worse on Wednesday as Adam Gemili tore a hamstring on the warm-up track – and then took nearly two minutes to hobble around his 200m heat.
With Nathaneel Mitchell-Blake also failing to get out of his 200m heat it meant that the litany of woes – which has included Zharnel Hughes false-starting in the 100m final – continued.
