I hate the way British sprinters are bigged up when they're simply not good enough.
Gemili could actually be an exception to this as he has run sub-20secs for 200m so does have the potential to push on and go faster. He also seems like a level-headed and likeable guy - I hope he does go on to compete with the very best.
