MONTREUIL, France (AP) — Dwain Chambers of Britain won the men’s 100-metre at the Montreuil meeting yesterday, while Kerron Stewart of Jamaica was victorious in the women’s event.

Chambers ran 10.27 seconds despite a strong headwind of 2.7 metres per second. Lerone Clarke of Jamaica finished second in 10.37.

The 32-year-old Chambers has struggled to get invites from meeting organisers after testing positive for a banned steroid in 2003 and serving a two-year suspension.

In the women’s race, Olympic runner-up Stewart pulled away in the last 30 metres to clock 11.21.

“We had a pretty hard headwind,” Stewart told Canal Plus television. “But as long as I’m running fast and I’m staying healthy, I’m happy with that.”

Dwight Thomas of Jamaica edged David Payne of the United States by one hundredth of a second to take the 110 hurdles in 13.37.

Damu Cherry of the United States ran 12.82 to beat compatriot Tiffany Ofili in the 100 hurdles.

World indoor champion Teddy Tamgho of France leaped 17.63 to win the triple jump, with three attempts beyond 17.50.

In the pole vault, Renaud Lavillenie of France cleared 5.70 at his first attempt to beat countryman and world silver medallist Romain Mesnil.
