Hudson-Smith fell short of gold after being beaten by Jamaica’s Watson.
The Briton, who had been battling Achilles tendonitis since May which threatened his hopes of competing in Hungary, struggled to hide his frustration.
“It’s been a topsy-turvy year. I’ve had Achilles tendonitis really badly so that’s why I’ve been pulling up, that’s why I’ve been in a wheelchair in London . Sometimes I can’t walk, sometimes I can.“My Achilles has been mashed up bad. This has been like a mental battle. I came for the gold, tired up last 30 but under the circumstances I can’t complain.
Last year, immediately after winning world bronze in Eugene, the Wolverhampton runner revealed he struggled with his mental health to the point where he tried to take his own life. He had set a new personal best of 44.26 seconds in the semi-final, breaking a 36-year-old European record in the process.“That’s the moral of my story in my career, to stay healthy but we’re getting there. It’s just building consistency. Once I’m there, it will be 43s and golds.”
