Team GB’s Lutalo Muhammad was in floods of tears as he reacted to his last second defeat in the -80kg Taekwondo final defeat at Rio 2016 games.
The 25-year-old Londoner looked destined to clinch gold, before losing in devastating fashion to Ivorian Cheick Sallah Cisse.
A tearful Muhammad told the BBC: "I was so close to becoming Olympic champion and making my dream. I am so distraught. I don't want to cry but I am so sorry to the people that stayed up to watch. I let them down at the last second. This is so hard.
"I was so close to being Olympic champion. The emotions are so raw. It's hard to say how disappointed I am. It should have been gold. I am so upset i can't speak clearly.

"I am absolutely gutted to blow it like that. I'll have to wait four years for another chance. It's one of the low points of my life."
