“It’s an ecstatic feeling to be here, after the hard work I’ve put in the last weeks and months,” Romell Glave tells the BBC after his 100m gold last night. “I’ve been dreaming of this moment since the start of the season … having that consistency through the season can bring great rewards … With hard work, everything is possible”
“Yesterday was a super special moment,” adds the silver medallist, Jeremiah Azu. “I’ve worked for years to achieve something like this. To do it in front of a home crowd tops it all off. We work so hard, we race all around the world, but to have a moment like that in front of the British fans is amazing.”
