1993 was arguably the heyday of British athletics.

The Great Britain team returned from Stuttgart with a total of 10 medals, including three golds and a world record.

It was Colin Jackson who finally broke Ronaldo Nehemiah's long-standing 110m hurdles record.

And just to make the race complete, team-mate Tony Jarrett came home in second in a personal-best time.

In the 100m Linford Christie silenced the critics that dogged him after his Olympic success the year before when he beat an outstanding field, including the legendary Carl Lewis.

Sally Gunnell also backed up her Olympic success with victory in the 400m hurdles.

Kevin Young, who broke the 400m world record a year earlier in Barcelona, again destroyed a high-quality field.

Gail Devers completed a 100m and hurdles double, a truly remarkable achievement.

The 100m was one of the closest races ever seen and despite being awarded the same time, Devers was given the nod by the thickness of a vest while all an embarrassed Ottey could do was bizarrely jog on the spot.

The female distance events were dominated by the Chinese who simply ran away with the 1500m, 3000m and 10000m.

Germany's Heike Dreschler bounced back in fantastic fashion to take the long jump from two-time winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee.

Britain's Steve Smith finished third in a tough high-jump field while John Regis followed Frankie Fredericks home in a blistering time in the 200m.
