Adam Gemili reveals he ‘basically quit’ athletics and considered football return after ‘stressful’ 2022
Adam Gemili has revealed he “basically quit” athletics last year after disappointing results at last year’s World Athletics Championships and Commonwealth Games. Gemili failed to get beyond the heats of the 200m in Oregon and was eliminated at the semi-final stage in Birmingham, before being dropped from UK Athletics’ top funding level in November. Ad The sprinter was European champion in 2014, finished fourth at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and was part of the 4x100m relay team that won gold at the World Championships in 2017, before his form dipped in the last two years.
