Opting to showcase his skills in the most high-pressure environment possible, Hinchliffe secured a spot in the semi-finals after clocking an impressive time of 9.98 seconds in his heat, undoubtedly setting a new standard for himself and his Team GB mates.

As the crowd erupted in applause, it became evident that Hinchliffe has developed a reputation for rising to the occasion.
