Lewis-Francis burst onto the scene at an early age, but missed the 2000 Summer Olympics , instead competing at the world junior championships, in which he won gold. Lewis-Francis became Britain's top 100m sprinter after Dwain Chambers was banned for drug use in 2003 . He failed to make the final of the 100 metres sprint at the 2004 Summer Olympics , but did run the final leg of the 4x100 metres, which Great Britain narrowly won by virtue of better baton hand-overs than the American favourites who finished second by 0.01 seconds outside the winning time of 38.07 seconds. The gold medal team consisted of Lewis-Francis, Marlon Devonish , Darren Campbell and Jason Gardener . Other than Olympic and World relay success, however, he has consistently performed badly in championships. EXTERNAL LINK |
