Full results from Thursday

Mark Lewis-Francis claimed the scalp of Commonwealth champion Kim Collins and British rival Dwain Chambers as he scorched to victory in the 100 metres in Ostrava on Thursday.

The former world junior champion clocked a time of 10.07 seconds to finish ahead of Collins (10.09) and Chambers (10.16) at the IAAF Golden Spike SuperGrand Prix meeting.

Victory for Lewis-Francis has effectively clinched his place in the British team for the Spar European Cup in Florence later this month.

Chambers, the European champion, has already announced that he will not be defending his European Cup crown in Italy.

This is going to be a great season for me Mark Lewis-Francis

Lewis-Francis was elated by the success, achieved in front of a capacity 20,000 crowd.

"I was determined to win tonight," he said. "I'm not a junior any more - I'm now a man and I cannot go around saying when I lose I'm on only 19 or 20 years old.

"I think this is the first Grand Prix I have ever won and I proved to myself that I can win at this level.

"This is going to be a great season for me. I've done all of the hard work in the winter and I now aim to make myself feared out there."

Another Brit, Jason Gardener, blew his chances of booking a trip to Florence by finishing down in seventh in a time of 10.27sec.

Rawlinson lost his form at the seventh hurdle

It was a bad night, too, for Commonwealth champion Chris Rawlinson, who came home last in the 400m hurdles.

Looking sprightly in the opening half of the race, he suddenly lost his form at the seventh of the 10 hurdles.

World champion Felix Sanchez claimed the win, clocking a meeting record time of 48.10secs - also the quickest in the world this year.

"I don't know what went wrong," said Rawlinson, who arrived at the meeting confident he was now recovered from a knee injury and due for a return to top form.

Triple 1500m world champion Hicham El Guerrouj had to settle for second place in his first ever attempt at the 5000m.

The Moroccan, who is aiming at a 1500m-5000m double at the world championships in Paris this summer, led into the home straight but was passed by Stephen Cherono.

The Kenyan clocked 12min 48.81sec, the quickest time of the season, with El Guerrouj crossing the line 1.43s behind.

Another Kenyan, Cornelius Chirchir, won the 1500m in 3:31.17 while European champion Jolanda Ceplak won the women's 800m in a time of 1:57.76 - the fastest in the world this year.

In only her second ever overseas grand prix competition, Scotland's Susan Scott finished fifth in a time of 2:01.85.
