England's Mark Lewis-Francis completed strongly to take the silver medal in the men's 100 metres final. It was Jamaica's Lerone Clarke who stormed to victory, however. Clarke cashed in on the absence of countrymen Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell at the Games to race away from the field.
Lewis-Francis had mixed emotions after the race."I could have won that," he said. "My blocks slipped at the start. I'm gutted. I have had a Common wealth Games curse."But Lewis-Francis admitted he was happy with a comeback season that has seen him take European and Commonwealth silver.
"There is a lot more there to come. I am not disappointed at all. It's wonderful. I'm over the moon," he said. "I have had two years out with injury and I've come back with two silver medals."I don't give up. It is about digging in and trying hard and this is the reward. I'm second in the Commonwealth and second in Europe."
