Sprinter still plans to take part in individual 100m in Budapest4x100 men’s squad have won medals at last two worlds
Reece Prescod has walked out on Britain’s 4x100m men’s relay team, leaving them in the lurch just days before the start of the World Athletics Championships in Budapest.
The Guardian understands that matters came to a head earlier this week after the 27-year-old had missed a number of practice sessions during the buildup. And while Britain can still draw on other athletes, the departure of the country’s second-fastest sprinter represents a significant blow to a relay team that has consistently brought back medals from major championships.
