Dwain Chambers (GBR).
Great Britain's reigning European indoor 60m champion and European 60m record holder Dwain Chambers sped to the second fastest time in the world when he clocked 6.57 in Birmingham on Saturday.

He ran his time in the semi-finals of the meeting before clocking 6.58 in the final.

Chambers set his European record of 6.42 last year in the semi-finals at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Torino last year and he is the third fastest man ever at the indoor discipline.

Behind the flying Chambers, who is likely to be a candidate for a medal at next month's World Indoor Championships, there were also some quick times by two former world junior champions.

Mark Lewis-Francis was second in 6.66, after running 6.65 in the semi-finals while  Harry Aikines-Aryetey was third in 6.67 after a 6.66.
