The 23-year-old pulled up in the first leg, denying the team's hopes of getting gold at the Gold Coast event.

Team-mate Dwayne Cowan said: "It is very frustrating and I’m just sorry for Matt.

"He’s in really good shape so it was a good opportunity for us to get the gold. Our team was in good shape.

“There was something there for us, so that makes it even more disappointing.”
