James Dasaolu sets world-leading time of 6.50 sec for the 60m at Glasgow International Match James Dasaolu, who became the second fastest Briton in history last summer, is showing no signs of slowing down. After just one competitive outing the London-born sprinter can already claim to be the fastest athlete in the world over 60 metres this year. The caveat, of course, is that the 2014 indoor season is still in its infancy, though the manner of his victory at the Sainsbury's Glasgow International Match yesterday, in a world-leading 6.50 sec, suggests there is plenty more to come from the Loughborough-based athlete as he builds towards the World Indoor Championships in Sopot, Poland, in March. Despite working on his starting technique during the pre-season, Dasaolu was actually beaten out of his blocks by Dwain Chambers but a majestic drive phase saw him surge past his British rival at the 10-metre mark before clocking his fastest time for a season-opening race. It was just 0.02 sec outside the lifetime best he set when winning European 60m silver in Gothenburg a year ago - his first international medal. "I don't think I nailed it but I still ran 6.50, which shows the small improvements I'm making in training and that I can produce the goods in competition," Dasaolu said. I opened up with 6.60 last year and I've opened up this time with 6.50. Hopefully, I'll get a personal best indoors as well this winter. Dasaolu was one of six British winners at the Emirates Arena, which contributed to a GB team total of 59 points and second place in the four-way match. A Commonwealth Select team triumphed on 62 points, with the United States third on 53 and Scotland fourth on 40, though the fact that the Commonwealth team contained a large contingent of British athletes rendered the overall match score academic. European indoor pole vault champion Holly Bleasdale proved she is now recovered from the injury problems that wrecked her summer campaign last year when she took maximum points for Britain with a solid clearance of 6.62 metres - the second highest in the world this year. One of the most eye-catching performances came from Glasgow student Laura Muir, who showed why she is considered one of the country's outstanding track prospects by cutting more than seven seconds off her 800m personal best to set a Scottish indoor record of 2 min 0.94 sec. It was also a day to remember for another Scottish middle-distance runner, Lynsey Sharp, who was not competing yesterday but who was presented with a belated 800m gold medal from the 2012 European Championships after Russia's Yelena Arzhakova, the original winner in Helsinki, was stripped of her title following a doping violation. Sharp broke down in tears when, to her surprise, the man who emerged from the crowd to present the medal her father, Cameron, who won European 200m silver in 1982 but who suffered a catastrophic brain injury in a car crash in 1991.
