Former world and European champion Adam Gemili has announced his retirement after 14 years at the top of the sport.
Gemili broke through in 2011, while still trying to pursue a football career, when he placed second in the 100m and 4x100m at the European U20 Championships.
The following year he went on to become 100m world U20 champion and made it to the semifinal of the London 2012 Olympics.
He went on to then become European champion in the 200m in 2014, where he was the only man to dip under 20 seconds, clocking 19.98.

That same championships he won the 4x100m, a title he would retain alongside his teammates for the next two championships.
But one of the highlights of his career was the London 2017 world championships where Gemili, alongside CJ Ujah, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, and Daniel Talbot, won gold in front of a home crowd.
Now in his retirement from competing, Gemili will be taking on speed coaching opportunities, including with Chelsea Academy players alongside setting up his own business to coach young athletes of all sports.
