Chambers shrugged off a false start to power to victory in 6.53 seconds in Turin, comfortably the fastest qualifier for Saturday afternoon's semi-finals at the Oval Lingotto.

The 30-year-old former drugs cheat was joined in the semis by British team-mates Craig Pickering and Simeon Williamson, who won their heats in 6.63secs and 6.61s respectively.

"It showed I'm in good condition. The false start didn't help, but I'm glad that part is out of the way now," said Chambers.

"I had to sit in the blocks but I've set myself up well for the semi-final this evening - and I can start having some more fun now.

"I don't want to be doing too much too soon; I want to conserve energy and not psyche myself out too much. It is a championships, but I have to remain as calm as possible.

"I've got stiff competition from my rivals, so I can't afford to get slack; I have to keep on going and I'll get the best out of myself that way."
