Zharnel Hughes raced to the British title in the 100 metres in a torrential downpour on Saturday, clocking a quick 10.03 seconds against the lashing rain while fans bolted for cover.
The British record-holder held his arms out wide after crossing the finish line and serving notice as a likely contender at the World Athletics Championships next month in Budapest.
Reece Prescod ran 10.14 for silver, while Eugene Amo-Dadzie, who calls himself the "world's fastest accountant", was third . "But, for me, it is all about performing irrespective of everything, and being ready for anything. Today the rain came down so I thought I need to focus and deal with whatever it throws at you... we had the not knowing if the race would go ahead, the waiting, going out, coming in, lightning, wind. Today's priority was to book my place on the plane .
Hughes, who trains with Bolt's coach Glen Mills, also clocked the fastest time in the semi-finals -- 10.06 - two hours earlier. Johnson-Thompson is aiming for the podium at next year's Paris Olympics but has not ruled out next month's worlds.
