Dai Greene withdraws from European Championships

    Britain’s athletics captain Dai Greene has been forced to withdraw from the European Championships due to a hamstring injury.

    The Welshman was due to compete in the 400m hurdles but did not take part in the heats on Monday.

    Greene, 32, won the European title in 2010 and world gold in 2011 but only raced 11 times between 2014 and 2017.

    British Athletics tweeted: "He's been an amazing captain and will continue to inspire his team-mates from trackside."
