Double Olympic gold winner is alone in thrilling a sell-out crowd on a

Kelly Holmes was the only one of Britain's four Olympic medallists on
show last night who had much to feel satisfied about before a sell-out
crowd of 8,000 in the Norwich Union Grand Prix.

The Kent runner was a comfortable winner of the 1,000 metres to revive
hopes she may still compete in the European Indoor Championships next
month but Jason Gardener and Mark Lewis-Francis will have left feeling
concerned about Madrid, and Kelly Sotherton, who took the heptathlon
bronze in Athens, will also be pessimistic after two disappointing
performances here.
