Chambers returns to form

Britain's Dwain Chambers returned to top form with victory in the men's 100 metres at the Norwich Union International at Glasgow's Scotstoun Stadium.

The European champion powered home in a time of 10.15 seconds, with world record holder Tim Montgomery second (10.26sec) and fellow Briton Mark Lewis-Francis coming in third (10.28secs).

Chambers - taking advantage of his position on the outside lane - won by two metres in what was a new stadium record, despite a strong headwind.

He recently endured two defeats at the hands of Lewis-Francis, and afterwards admitted his confidence is beginning to return.

"I'm grateful for the lane and I'm slowly gaining confidence, and these two(Mark Lewis-Francis and Tim Montgomery) are going to be my two main rivals," he said.

Lewis-Francis admitted he was exhausted after his recent successes and insisted he was concentrating on other matters, saying: "I'm shattered. Like I said, it's the World Championships this year."
