Adam Gemili was still struggling for words.
Genuinely struggling to find the right words to sum up my emotions after today. 5 years work just gone in a single moment. To injure myself on the last warm up run is truly devastating. To not be able to go out and properly compete hurts. It's stings and it will do for a while. pic.twitter.com/yLvZ33hflf — Adam Gemili (@Adam_Gemili) August 3, 2021
