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.
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.
Was a really heatbreaking interview and just shows how much Gold means to every athlete. I watched that final and in the last second Cisse scored and won. Feel bad for him but somebody had to lose.
