Olli Hoare said it will be a “tough one to swallow” after he was tripped during the men’s one mile run qualifiers. The 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games gold medallist feared he had been robbed of the opportunity to defend his win at Glasgow. Two minutes into the qualifying race had the competitors bunched together, with Hoare looking to break away before he was tripped up from behind - hitting the deck hard. “If you’re in the green and gold you have got to keep competing, that’s what we’re about.” “That’s a tough one to swallow because it was out of my control,” he said after the race.
