The fast and the FURYOUS

TOMMY TV SHOW DRIVES ON JAKE

- CHARLIE BENNETT

JAKE WIGHTMAN revealed Tommy Fury’s new BBC documentary inspired him to chase his own destiny after bagging 1,500m World Championships silver.

The former world champ cashed in on a calf injury to teammate Josh Kerr and clinched Britain's first medal in a thrilling final in Tokyo.

Kerr (inset) was forced to pull up with 600m to go but hobbled across the line, coming home almost a minute behind the leaders.

Wightman was beaten to the line by Portugal's Isaac Nader by just two hundredths of a second, but said his podium place was a reward for not giving up through two years of injury hell.
