Mark Lewis-Francis is in terrible form going into the London 2012 Olympics, after being beaten by Dwain Chambers at the London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace last weekend.

While Adam Gemili was winning gold at the World Juniors in Barcelona with a 10.05 second run, Chambers could only produce a 10.35.

Lewis-Francis was even slower – a further two tenths behind his rival with Tyson Gay winning with a time of 10.03.
