The full Monty leaves Chambers chastened

TIM MONTGOMERY and Dwain Chambers proved in the IAAF Grand Prix final that intense rivalry and not stage-managed races is more likely to produce a world record.

The small crowd in Paris who turned up for the titanic battle between the pair will never forget the speed from both men as they erupted from their starting blocks.

That was the first indication that something special was on the cards in the historic Stade Charlety. The second came after 30 metres when Montgomery put his foot down even harder on the gas.
