Dwain Chambers to contest sprint double at World Championships
Dwain Chambers has been given two chances to get his ‘Project Bolt’ back on track after being selected in the 100 and 200 metres for next month’s World Championships in Berlin.
The 31-year-old European indoor champion, announced earlier this year that he would try and find a way to beat Jamaican Olympic champion Usain Bolt and vowed to find a "crack in his armour".
Chambers is one of 60 GB athletes who will travel to Germany after missing out on automatic selection after he was beaten in the 100m at the UK trials by Simeon Williamson.
He later withdrew from the 200m trial citing exhaustion, but remains the second fastest man in Britain this year with a 100m time of 10.06 sec and, though his best 200m time puts him only fourth in the GB rankings, he is a proven performer at major championships.
He also impressed at last month’s European Team Championships in Leiria, Portugal, where he doubled up to win the 100 and 200m.
