Kyle Langford has told Sports Mole that he was "so happy" to have won the first senior medal of his career at the British Championships in Birmingham.
Yesterday, the 19-year-old Brit finished ahead of an experienced field that included Michael Rimmer and Guy Learmonth to win the men's 800m in a time of 1:49.70.
"I'm so happy to win my first senior medal. Hopefully there are bigger things to come. At the start of the year, this is the one competition that I wanted to win," said the Shaftesbury Barnet athlete.
"I'm showing I can win races, even at senior [level]. Today was very tactical and I had to run a very fast last lap."
Later this month, Langford will compete at the European Athletics Junior Championships in the Swedish city of Eskilstuna.
