He lined up for the final alongside Talbot and two other members of the winning 4x100m relay team from the above meeting James Ellington and Adam Gemeli. In this company he was in a determined mood to break 21seconds, unfortunately he acted too keen at the start and received an automatic disqualification.
Earlier on Saturday he had already successfully battled his way in the heats of the 100metres for Sunday’s semi- final heats. He again finished third in his heat behind another member of relay team Harry Atkines-Aryeetey.
In his semi-final he was surrounded by UK vest runners and despite producing a personal best time of 10.6s and another club record he finished seventh and missed a final place.
