Ade misses out on chance to race Bolt....but still shines in 200m

The University of Essex student was initially selected to represent Nigeria in the men’s 4x100 metres relay at the Games, in Glasgow.
But in a surprise move, Nigeria’s coaches opted at short notice to go for a more experienced relay team.
