Olympic British long jump champion Greg Rutherford has admitted that he was not "good enough" to reach the final of the World Athletics Championships in Moscow.
The 26-year-old fell short of a place in the men's final by recording a best attempt of 7.87m when he needed a leap of 8.10m to qualify.
"I broke all the rules in rehab to come back from a ruptured hamstring and I felt really confident," BBC Sport quotes Rutherford as saying. "I got up this morning and thought this is going to be a good day.
"It's amazing how different a year can be. I knew after the final jump that it was not long enough. From my point of view it's been a bad day. Sadly I felt better than I was. It wasn't good enough."
Rutherford's failure comes following his gold medal win in last summer's London Olympic Games.
