Sir Charles Lawrence Somerset Clarke, 7th Baronet (born 12 March 1990[2]), is a former professional 110 m hurdler who finished fourth in the London Olympic Games final.

The winner of his heat was Jason Richardson who went on to win the Championships after Dayron Robles, the 2008 Olympic champion and world record holder, was disqualified after the final.

Running from lane 2 in the final he finished an unexpected fourth place with a time of 13.39 seconds beating the 2009 world champion, Ryan Brathwaite, into fifth.

Two weeks later he competed at the European Athletics Championships in Zurich only to tear his hamstring five minutes before the call room for the final.

That summer he competed at the IAAF World Athletics Championships in the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing, exiting in the semi-finals.

After the World Championships he made the decision to leave Malcolm Arnold and Bath and moved to Paris to train with Giscard Samba Koundys and Dimitri Bascou; at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon, U.S. in March 2016, he just missed out on the men's 60 m hurdles final, while Bascou won the bronze medal.

In July 2016 he was selected to represent Great Britain at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
