Zharnel Hughes was devastated at seeing his Olympic hopes crushed by a cruciate knee ligament injury.The 20-year-old, the fourth fastest Briton in history over 200 metres, could only clock 21.21 seconds to finish seventh in his heat at the European Championships in Amsterdam on Thursday, looking a shadow of the athlete who ran 20.02 seconds on the way to fifth place at last years World Championships.The Anguilla-born sprinter revealed he had suffered posterior cruciate ligament damage in his right knee in a fall in a race earlier in the season and has been unable to get fit.Im not happy at all, Hughes said. I wanted to make the Olympics, but unfortunately this knee has been getting in my way. I just have to get myself sorted out for next year.It was a sorry sight to witness an athlete, who when fit would have destroyed the field coming off the bend, so far down and unable to make up the ground.Hughes struggles mean Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake looks certain to get the third 200m spot on the Great Britain team for Rio, alongside Adam Gemili and Danny Talbot.The Louisiana State University student ran 19.95 seconds in May and, as one of the top 12 Europeans this year, has a bye into Fridays semifinals at the Dutch capitals Olympic Stadium.There is some frustration because I know how well I can perform and Im being inhibited, Hughes added. If I was 100 per cent fit, trust me, this European Championships wouldnt have been normal.Im in the shape of my life. I oppened up my season with two personal bests [over 100m and 400m] and its just for me to better my 200m, but unfortunately I cant.ddddddddddddIts devastating [that injury has struck in Olympic year], I have to wait four years again.

Jenny Meadows, in her last season before retirement, could not make it into the 800m final, coming home sixth in her semifinal in 2:03.13, while Goldie Sayers failed to make the javelin final with a best throw of 53.56m.Its not the way I wanted to finish my international career, Meadows said. I was watching the other girls run away from me and not liking it. But I thought, This is probably the last 50m of the last international race Ill do. So just enjoy it.Sayers admitted she too may now call time on her career. Its been an awful season for me, thats me done for this year and maybe thats it, but I will make that decision, said Sayers, who has undergone knee, hip and elbow surgeries in a gruelling career.Ive really enjoyed my career and have had some amazing moments, but I dont want to be struggling in qualifying rounds in the future. We have London next year [the World Championships], which is a carrot. But that is one day and you have to train for it. ' ' '
