Great Britain's Tom Bosworth has admitted that he was affected by the conditions in Beijing in the men's 20km walk at the World Athletics Championships.
The 25-year-old finished in 25th place in a time of 1:23.58 on his debut at the Championships, and although he conceded that he was bothered by the heat, Bosworth was satisfied with his display.
25th at World Champs will do for a debut Plan went perfectly till 14k Then conditions struck! Endurance is a painful game. Much more to come
