“Then, to me, you’ll be able to’t ask for any extra. As soon as I ran within the last of the European Championships and I completed second, however I could not have carried out something higher.

“I could not have run any faster, I could not have been in higher positions. I completed second as a result of Seb Coe beat me on the road. However I had given 100% and may have been proud of the consequence – and I used to be proud of the consequence.”
