His performance at the Olympics saw him eliminated in the heats and he was part of the 4x400 metre British team that trailed in 5th in the Olympic final.

Later career

Malachi Davis continued to represent the United Kingdom in 2005, participating in the European Cup Athletics and 2005 World Athletics Championships where he was again eliminated in the heats.
