When did Chambers break the 10-second barrier for the first time at the World Championships?

  • 2001

  • 2002

  • 2003

Answer

Chambers broke the 10-second barrier for the first time at the World Championships in 2001. He had previously run 9.97 seconds at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, but the wind was too strong for the time to be considered an official record. In 2001, he ran 9.97 seconds again at the World Championships in Edmonton, Canada, this time with a legal wind.
