Jeremiah Azu claimed his first indoor title by winning gold in the 60m at the British Indoor Championships in Birmingham.
The 22-year-old clocked 6.60 seconds in the final to qualify for the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow in March.
Dwayne Chambers, who won gold in the 60m race in 2010, came last in the semi-finals, but the 45-year-old was excited to compete against sprinters half his age.
“Today was a dream come true. The applause from the crowd was amazing,” Chambers told BBC Sport.
“The reception from the athletes downstairs has been even better. It’s really great to be in a position where I can still do this at 45 years old.”
Chambers was suspended for doping in 2004., external Although he was unable to take part in the Athens Olympics as a result, British Athletics interim head coach Paula Dunn has not ruled out using Chambers as an advisor to the team.
“I want to contribute in any way I can, and I'll never turn down an opportunity. This is a case where we need to have the necessary conversations, time permitting,” Chambers added. .
“It's no one else's responsibility, it's mine. Yes, I was young, but at the same time you have to make decisions and choices, and you look at what other people are doing and what you can do. I decided to spend very little time considering “improvement.''
“As a result, I chose to follow the crowd, but it came at a cost for me. As other people's situations lead them to doubt themselves, I used what I went through as an example to begin with. Look at yourself and then decide.”
