Dwain, the 復帰 king

It hardly seemed possible 12 days ago - but it became reality last night. Dwain 議会s 嵐／襲撃するd to a personal best time in the 100metres to 勝利，勝つ gold at the European 選手権s in Munich.

The man who seemed least likely on that sad Saturday evening in Manchester to be 支持するing British sprinting traditions in Europe this month also ran the quickest 100m in 選手権 history to keep the 肩書を与える that has become an heirloom within the family of British （短距離で）速く走る人s.

Not since 1982, when Olympic 支持する／優勝者 Allan 井戸／弁護士席s was unable to compete because of 傷害, has anybody but a Briton won the 栄冠を与える as Europe's fastest man. But when 議会s finished last at the 連邦／共和国 Games after 存在 struck 負かす／撃墜する by cramp, the succession was 脅すd.

Could he 打ち勝つ the 時折の problem of cramping in time? Was his 信用／信任 粉々にするd? The questions were answered in the most 反抗的な

manner with a run that stills the devils in his own mind as much as the 疑問s in others.

At last 議会s started as he meant to go on, 運動ing out of the 封鎖するs which have so often been his 障害（者）. He 選ぶd up 滑らかに and was never 脅すd. He finished in 9.96sec, a tenth of a second ahead of silver medallist Francis Obikwelu of Portugal.

It was his career best and bettered Darren Campbell's 選手権 記録，記録的な／記録する from 1998 by eight one-hundredths of a second, an eternity in sprinting.

Campbell's なぐさみ for losing a 肩書を与える and a 記録，記録的な／記録する was a bronze メダル. The smile that stretched from ear to ear showed that it was enough. 'I didn't think I would be able to come here and do anything after Manchester,' he said.

議会s' gold 前線 tooth flashed its way 一連の会議、交渉／完成する the stadium on his victory （競技場の）トラック一周 as he pointed to his calf and shook his 長，率いる. 'I really did think I was going to 勝利，勝つ that 連邦／共和国 gold but all the hard work in the U.S. last winter has paid off now,' he said.

The starter tried his patience - and his calf - with three 誤った starts, finally disqualifying the Greek, Georgios Theodoridis.

'The start has been difficult for me, a hard part to learn, but I really 焦点（を合わせる）d on the gun this time and 辞退するd to let anyone get past me,' said 議会s.

The only 失望 was the 排除／予選 in the 半分-決勝戦 of Britain's third man, European indoor 支持する／優勝者 Jason Gardener. He went out in sixth place with a 哀れな time of 10.36.
