'Saint Kitts and Nevis sprinter Kim Collins equalled the best time of the year in the men's 60 metres in a time of 6.52sec. The 34-year-old Collins, the world 100m champion in 2003, equalled the time set by Jamaican Nesta Carter, set in New York on January 28. "A new best time, excellent!," beamed Collins. "I wasn't expecting that here, the competition I was facing was pretty good."'

Jamaican Lerone Clarke won the 60m final at Karlsruhe with a PB of 6.52, ahead of Trinidad's Marc Burns second in 6.56. Pre-race favourite Kim Collins of St Kitts-Nevis faded into fourth, while American Mike Rodgers false-started and was DQ-ed.

Americans Kellie Wells and David Oliver convincingly won the 60m hurdles, with Jamaicans Vonette Dixon and Dwight Thomas third and fifth respectively....
