Sprinter Azu safely through to 100m semi-finals

Wales' fastest man Jeremiah Azu is through to the men's 100m semi-finals after a comfortable start to his Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Azu won his heat in a time of 10:10 which meant he was the sixth fastest in qualifying.

The 17 fastest athletes are through to tomorrow's semi-finals where they will join the top seven ranked sprinters who were given a bye from the heats.

"I got out well, and then I just controlled it from the front," said Azu.

"With these days, it's more the nervous energy and the excitement that you can burn.

"So on the track, you want to be as smart as you can during the rounds. Today was just about qualifying and getting through to tomorrow.

"It's good to get the ball rolling. It's just been waiting, waiting, waiting, but now it's officially begun."
