Azu suffers Paris heartbreak after false start

Jeremiah Azu had been training for years. Wales had been waiting for years.

Finally there was a Welsh athlete lining up in the men’s 100m at an Olympic Games.

The first Welshman to do so since Ron Jones in 1968.

But then it was all over - a false start by Azu in lane four meant he was disqualified.

He tried to argue his case, saying he had mistakenly reacted to another noise in the stadium. The men’s pole vault is going on too.

But the decision stood and he was forced to leave the track. What a heartbreaking way for the biggest day of his life to end.
