KINGSTON, Jamaica – Javon Francis won his second race on European soil in three days after winning the men’s 400m at the Fanny Blankers-Koen meeting in Hengelo, Holland, today.

Francis, who has lost just once this season – ironically while setting his season’s best – cruised to 45.35 seconds to beat Holland’s Liemarvin Bonevacia (46.21 seconds) with American former World and Olympic champion Jeremy Wariner third in 46.33 seconds.

He was the only Jamaican winner on the programme as Fedrick Dacres finished fifth in the discus throw with a best of 62.69m. American Rodney Brown won that event with 65.70m.
