Azu credits his family for getting him through last Saturday’s emotional ordeal.

He took himself out of the athletes’ village and spent two days with them “to reset” after his disqualification.

“It’s great to have them here. I don’t think I’d be stood in this position if they weren’t,” Azu said.

“I’ve been blessed with amazing family and they got me through it.”

Azu also saluted the British fans at the Stade de France.

“There are so many, you look around and you see so many British flags, it feels like I’m at home,” he added.

“Walking out to the blocks, all the fans are screaming, once they see the GB colours everyone comes to life, it was great.

“I would have loved to have experienced it individually, I think I definitely would have run a PB (personal best) and pushed for that final.

“I always want to see how good I really am and race against the best.”
