Alastair Chalmers says his dramatic British title and Olympic 400m hurdles qualification was 'the best day of my life'.
Alastair Chalmers said his dramatic British title and Olympic 400m hurdles qualification went from being "the worst day" of his life - to "the best".
Almost two hours later, officials upheld his appeal after they agreed with the 24-year-old's claims of noise at the start line. "But to go out in a rainy, pretty dull day in Manchester and run 48.5 after a false start is legendary."Chalmers' win means he becomes the first person from Guernsey to make the Team GB athletics team for an Olympic Games since Lee Merrien was picked for the marathon at London 2012."There was a lot of noise, and then luckily I was allowed to run under protest," Chalmers said of his race.
Chalmers, who will race at the London Diamond League meeting later this month, says all his focus is now on the Olympic Games.
