Long jumper Chris Tomlinson 'angered' by World Championships snub

British long jumper Chris Tomlinson has reiterated his "anger" at being left out of the team for the World Athletics Championships following Greg Rutherford's exit.

The Olympic champion, who was picked ahead of Tomlinson for the tournament in Moscow, failed to reach the men's final.

"Words cant describe my anger," Tomlinson wrote on Twitter, according to Sky Sports News. "Season ruined on media profile and not current athletic form.

"Thanks for the support, choosing not to tweet again. Will regret it when my blood pressure settles."

Rutherford was an initial doubt for selection due to a hamstring injury.
