British sprinter Adam Gemili’s hopes of a medal in the men’s 200m at the Tokyo Olympics were dashed as he pulled up injured in the heats.

Gemili, 27, had been aiming to improve on his fourth-placed finish at Rio 2016 where he missed out on bronze by three thousandths of a second.

A clearly distraught Gemili stopped immediately after leaving the starting blocks before walking to the finish.
