Welshman Jeremiah Azu could not contain his excitement as he claimed a brilliant bronze medal in the European Championships 100m final.
The 21-year-old sprinter had to wait a little while for confirmation that he had secured his first senior major championship medal, but when it was established that he had indeed finished third behind Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs and Great Britain team-mate Zharnel Hughes in Munich, the young man from Cardiff burst into a wild celebration. Sprinting back down the track, he dropped to the ground with his head in his hands before slapping the surface in disbelief.
As Azu dropped to his knees as he comprehended what he had just done, former Welsh hurdler Colin Jackson remarked that "the Welsh will definitely be celebrating that result for that man". Azu had started strongly over the first 50 metres, before Italian Jacobs and 2018 European Championship gold medallist Hughes managed to pull away.
