Azu wins 60m gold on 'dream' day for Chambers

Jeremiah Azu won 60m gold in the UK Indoor Championships in Birmingham to claim his first indoor title.

The 22-year-old clocked 6.60 seconds in the final to qualify for March's World Indoor Championships in Glasgow.

Dwain Chambers, who won 60m gold in 2010, came last in the semi-final but the 45-year-old was thrilled to compete against sprinters half his age.

"Today's been a dream come true - the applause from the audience has been awesome," Chambers told BBC Sport.

"The reception from the athletes downstairs has been even better. It just feels great to still be in a position to do this at the age of 45."

Chambers was banned for doping in 2004,, external which saw him miss the Athens Olympics, and UK Athletics interim head coach Paula Dunn has not ruled out using Chambers as an adviser to his squad.

"I want to be able to contribute in any way I can and I would never turn down the opportunity. It is a case of a conversation that needs to be had as and when the time permits," added Chambers.

"It is nobody else's responsibility but mine. Yes I was young, but at the same time, I had a decision or choice to make and I chose to look at what other people were doing, and spend very little time looking at what I could improve.

"As a result of that, I chose to follow the crowd and it was costly to me. With the way things are with other people, doubting themselves, I chose to use what I've gone through as an example of review yourself first and then make a decision."
