Marlon Devonish grabbed bronze for Britain as Greece's Konstantinos Kenteris shattered the European Championship 200 metres record in Munich's Olympic Stadium on Friday.

Coventry runner Devonish finished in 20.21 seconds to just edge out team-mate Christian Malcolm who was fourth in a season's-best 20.30secs.

World and Olympic champion Kenteris added the European title and shattered the record of 20.11secs set by Britain's John Regis in Split 12 years ago with victory in 19.85secs.

Portugal's Nigerian-born Francis Obikwelu added to his 100m silver with another second spot in a time of 20.21.

Devonish's bronze was the fifth in succession won by British athletes and took their medal haul to nine - two gold, one silver and six bronze.

The 26-year-old has often been in the shadows of the likes of Dwain Chambers, Mark Lewis-Francis and Darren Campbell but has begun to emerge from it this season.

But there was no way Devonish was going to stop Kenteris - or Kederis as he was know last year - completing the hat-trick of 200m titles.

The bronze adds to the silver he won behind Frankie Fredericks at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester.

Welshman Malcolm, who finished eighth in the Games, almost grabbed bronze after a season in which he was hit by a virus and a hamstring problem.
