Sprinter Reece Prescod is out for his just desserts after kicking the puddings and pastries ahead of the Olympics.
The 25-year-old is aiming for success in Japan having piled on the pounds thanks to his sweet tooth.
Prescod was a stone overweight at last month’s British trials and finished fifth in 10.33 seconds but was the third man selected for the 100m behind CJ Ujah and Zharnel Hughes.
He has now shed the weight having quit America after a brief stay training under renowned coach Mike Holloway and is ready to run in Tokyo.
