Daddy cool ready to walk away with gold

BABY'S GIVING SPRINT KING AZU NEW SPARK

- Alan Smith

TWO hours after returning home with a European gold medal, Jeremiah Azu found himself dealing with his week-old son’s poonami.

"Straight back to earth," Wales' fastest man said of the messy 1am clean-up - and he would have it no other way.

Azu, 23, was not sold on the theory of new dad strength a month ago.

But he is now firmly buying into it after a first international championship triumph, in the 60m at the European Indoors in Apeldoorn.

His sleep pattern remains all over the place because he is determined to ease the burden on his partner.
