Adam Gemili has revealed his battle with depression after turning to comfort eating during the worst year of his life. The 29-year-old sprinter has shed 10kgs after moving to Italy following controversy and poor performances in 2022. Gemili lost his lottery funding in December 2021 after staying with ex-coach Rana Reider, who was the subject of an investigation by the US Center for Safe Sport following multiple complaints of sexual misconduct, allegations which he denied. Reider was given one-year probation earlier this year after he 'acknowledged a consensual romantic relationship with an adult athlete, which presented a power imbalance', according to his lawyer.

Chris Norbury, who leads the energy company in the UK, said that it was important to 'have an open mind' to all technologies which can heat homes without producing carbon emissions. But the focus should be systems that can be used now, rather than in decades from today. 'We have to have an open mind to all technologies that give us the opportunity to drive the energy transition,' he told the PA news agency.
