Matthew Hudson-Smith targeting double medal joy in relay
Matthew Hudson-Smith received his Olympic silver medal on Thursday night - and then vowed to make it a double.
The 29-year-old is planning to be back on track at the Stade de France on Friday morning to run the first round of the 4x400 metres relay as he looks to follow up Wednesday night’s silver in the individual event.
GB’s quartet are due to race in the first heat, with the top three finishers advancing to Saturday night’s final.
Hudson-Smith told the Express & Star: “I'm definitely doing the first round of the 4x400. I want to add more history to my name by being a double Olympic medallist.
“I'm very keen. Very excited. We have a great group of guys and we can win.”
The former St Peter’s student admitted he had “barely slept” since winning silver in an enthralling 400m race, where he was pipped on the line by America’s Quincy Hall.
