ALTHOUGH CF.COM HAS ESSENTIALLY A SPRINT-INTEREST MEMBERSHIP, I’M POSTING STUFF ON KELLY HOLMES BECAUSE SHE ACHIEVED SUCH AN 
EXTRAORDINARY, HISTORIC DOUBLE AT LAST YEAR’S OLYMPICS. AND SHE WON’T BE ON THE TRACK AFTER THIS YEAR.kk
GLASGOW, June 5 - Dame Kelly Holmes opened her last outdoor season with victory in the 1500-metres at the three-nations Norwich Union International meeting here on Sunday.
But it was Russia who won overall with 118 points from the USA with 108 points and Great Britain third with 92 points.
Double Olympic champion Holmes outstripped Russia’s Yelena Zadorozhnaya in the final sprint to give Britain a rare victory.
I was nervous about this as it was the first race of the season but the home crowd lift you,'' Holmes told BBC Sport. It’s quite sad because I know I am never going to race here again.’’
