Campbell: Gemili is now "feared"

Darren Campbell believes that Adam Gemili's performance in the Commonwealth Games' 100m final will make him a "feared" competitor throughout the sport.

The 20-year-old took the silver as he finished runner-up to Jamaica's Kemar Bailey-Cole on Monday evening, and Campbell praised the youngster for his display.

He told BBC Sport: "This young man has come onto the British sprinting scene and sucked it up.

"He has shown he has what it takes. It is about consistency - can you keep backing up those times? And yep, Adam Gemili - you are the man. Now he has got a medal, he will be feared."

Earlier in the evening, Blessing Okagbare won the women's 100m final.
