Heartbreak for Hughes as 200 metres gold is stripped by disqualification

England’s Zharnel Hughes celebrated victory in the men’s 200 metres final before being told he had been disqualified for catching Trinidad and Tobago’s Jereem Richards in the face with his arm.

Hughes crossed the line ahead of Richards – with both men clocked at 20.12 seconds – but as he completed a lap of honour with the cross of St George draped over his shoulders race officials told him of his disqualification.

Television replays showed Hughes’ left arm accidentally caught Richards in the face and affected his finish. Team England lodged an appeal against the decision but athletics officials rejected it.

Hughes’ disqualification meant Northern Ireland’s Leon Reid, who had finished fourth in the race, was bumped up to a bronze medal. Canada’s Aaron Brown moved up to the silver medal.
