A difficult couple of years for Team GB's Adam Gemili almost culminated in his exit from athletics after the sprinter came close to a football comeback last year.
Gemili was only 18 when he first made Great Britain's Olympic squad for London 2012, going on to finish fourth in the 200 metres four years later in Rio de Janeiro. However, almost a decade has passed since he last clinched individual gold at the elite level, having secured 200-metre gold at the 2014 European Championships.
First-place finishes have been largely restricted to relay events since then, with Gemili falling out of the 200-metre semi-finals at last year's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. It was after that disappointment the 29-year-old considered a return to his first sport, which would see him swap spikes for a pair of football boots.
