Darren Campbell wants to be respected as both a 100 and 200 metres sprinter.

On Friday night he has the chance to get his wish by claiming his second medal of these World Championships when he runs for Britain in the final of the latter discipline.

Campbell became Britain's first - and so far one of only two - medallist here when he finished third in the final of the 100m on Monday night.

The 29-year-old was back on track in the Stade de France no Thursday night for the semi-finals of the 200m and went through in third place with a season's best time of 20.34 seconds.

"People always say I am a 200m runner and I keep trying to tell people I am a sprinter," said Campbell after landing his 100m bronze.

"I come from the old school, I have the same mentality as Carl Lewis and Linford Christie, and I want my respect in both races.

"I don't want to be known as a 200 metres runner, I don't want to be known as a 100 metres runner, I want to be known as a great sprinter."

Campbell will be Britain's sole representative in the 200m final as team-mate Christian Malcolm narrowly failed to qualify from the other semi, although the 24-year-old insisted: "I still believe I have got what it takes to be a major championship sprinter."
