Sprinters 'lost hunger' - Johnson
BBC pundit and former 400m Olympic champion Michael Johnson said British sprinters had "lost their hunger" after England's relay failure in Melbourne.

Johnson, a long-time critic, said the system needed a drastic overhaul because it was "rewarding mediocrity".

"It rewards Britain's best, not world best. These athletes have it before they have done anything at all.

"These athletes have celebrity and sponsorship and all the things we have to work so hard for in America."
