Greg Rutherford: World Championship gold 'more special' with baby

Greg Rutherford says having a son has made his gold medal at the World Championships "that bit more special."

The long jumper credited his 10-month-old Milo with helping him get out of bed.

"Having Milo changed the perspective for me massively," said Rutherford. "I've won all four major championships in my life but as long as he's supported, he's happy that's my number one goal in life."

"Having that as something to think about takes away a lot of the stress and pressures that I feel in my day to day life training," he added.
