domination of their events on Saturday in the Monaco Grand Prix.

And, unfortunately for Bermuda's Brian Wellman, so did Kenny Harrison.

Harrison, the surprise triple jump winner at the Atlanta Games, had a leap of 17.42 metres (57 feet, two inches) to knock Wellman back to third in his second European meet since the Olympics.

Wellman, sixth in Atlanta, had a leap of 17.53 in altitude at a meet in Italy last week to finish second behind world record holder Jonathan Edwards.

On Saturday Wellman could only manage 16.96, finishing behind second-place Yoelbi Queseda of Cuba (17.12), the Olympic bronze medallist, but ahead of jumpers such as American Mike Conley.

The meet drew a field of about 40 individual medallists from Atlanta -- lured by a $1.6 million budget.

In addition to Bailey's win in the men's 100-metre dash and Perec's victory in the women's 400, the other Olympic gold medallists to repeat were: American Allen Johnson in the 110 hurdles; Joseph Keter of Kenya in the 3,000 steeplechase and Russia's Svetlana Masterkova at 800.

Also, Olympic silver medallists Gwen Torrence, Kim Batten, Samuel Matete and Inna Lasovskaya got revenge over their conquerors at Atlanta.

Bailey, the world record-holder from Canada (9.84), won in a relatively slow time of 10.06 seconds, ahead of Atlanta bronze medallist Ato Boldon of Trinidad and Tobago in 10.09 and fellow Canadian Bruny Surin in 10.13.

"After the Olympics, my goal is just to keep running consistent, that's what I want to do,'' Bailey said. "The Olympics are such a big thing you point to -- it's hard to stay at that level.'' In a 100 runoff between American women, Atlanta bronze medallist Torrence out-sprinted Olympic gold winner Gail Devers, winning in 10.92 to 10.98.

"I wasn't physically or emotionally ready at the Olympics,'' Torrence said.

"There was so much pressure on me. Now I feel more relaxed so I can just run fast.'' In the closest thing to a world record -- which could have been worth as much as $50,000 from the event organisers -- Daniel Komen of Kenya ran 3,000 metres in seven minutes, 25.16 seconds -- and even seemed to ease off at the end.

That was just .05 off the world record of 7:25.11.

Edwards, meanwhile, won a meet at England's Crystal Palace Stadium before only 6,000 fans yesterday. His jump of 16.93 was his shortest winning leap in nearly two years.

The meet was highlighted by Linford Christie's final race at Crystal Palace.

Christie, who confirmed he is quitting top-class racing at the end of the season, won a 150 metres race in 15.08 seconds.

After a lap of honour in the rain, Christie said: "All good things must come to an end. Next year I'll be sitting in the crowd keeping dry.'' Tony Jarrett, who crashed out in the 110 metres hurdles heats in Atlanta, punched the air in delight after outpacing Olympic and world champion Allen Johnson and British team-mate Colin Jackson in 13.32 seconds.

BRIAN WELLMAN -- beaten by American Kenny Harrison and Cuban Yoelvi Queseda at the Olympics and again in Monaco on Saturday.
