Azu concedes he 'fell short' in bid for 100m success
Daily Post
|September 17, 2025
JEREMIAH AZU admits he needs to go back to the drawing board if he wants to contend for World Championship medals outdoors after falling short in his bid for the 100m final.
The Cardiff sprinter finished fourth in his semifinal, clocking 10.05 seconds which, while respectable, is not going to cut it at this elite level.
Azu was in the first of three semifinals, which saw two athletes from each race qualify automatically and the rest sweating it out for the two fastest loser spots.
The 24-year-old was made to sit in a hotseat by the side of the track and watch the next race to see if his time would be beaten by the third-placed athlete, which it was by teammate Zharnel Hughes.
Azu was phlegmatic after the race and has enjoyed an excellent season, especially indoors where he won the 60m World Championship title.
