English part-time sprinter bursts with ‘national pride’ and slams Games no-shows

Elliot Jones, a 28-year-old English part-time sprinter making his international debut, competed in the 100m at the Commonwealth Games after benefiting from withdrawals that opened up spots on the team. Jones expressed strong national pride and criticised athletes who chose not to represent their countries, stating he would 'take every international call' he could get. Welsh sprinter Jeremiah Azu also weighed in, saying he would 'never disrespect the flag.'
