Richard Yates: "I didn't have that little bit extra"

Team England hurdler Richard Yates admits that he did not have enough in the tank to challenge in the men's 100m final at the Commonwealth Games.

Team England hurdler Richard Yates has admitted that he did not have enough in the tank to seriously challenge in the men's 100m final at the Commonwealth Games.

Yates finished seventh at Hampden Park with a time of 50.13, before revealing that his semi-final on Wednesday took a lot out of him.

"I think yesterday just maybe took more out of me than I thought. I didn't really have the legs in the second half of the race," he told Sports Mole.

"That was like a final for me. So I guess I had to run pretty hard just to get out of that, and then today I just didn't have that little bit extra that I needed to get in the mix.

"I'd like to have got involved in the race, but I think even if I'd have ran my PB I wouldn't have been in the top three so it was a high quality race."

Cornel Fredericks of South Africa took gold.
