Dwain Chambers wins fifth British 100m title in a row

Dwain Chambers saw off the challenge of Britain's promising young sprinters to win his fifth successive 100m title at the British Championships . Victory in a season's best of 10.12 seconds guaranteed him a place in the British team for August's European Championships in Zurich.  Aikines-Aryeetey, 25 crossed the line in second in 10.14 seconds with Chijindu Ujah third in 10.18.

The result leaves Britain's selectors with the difficult decision of having to choose between James Dasaolu - the second fastest Briton in history - and Ujah for the third 100m spot on the team to go to Switzerland.  Dasaolu, who was scheduled to make his comeback at this weekend's trials, had been given special dispensation to miss the event after struggling with injury for most of the year.
