Athletics career
Douglas won two consecutive British Championships claiming gold in the 2004 AAA Championships and the 2005 AAA Championships. His personal best is 17.64:m (57:ft 10+1⁄4:in), set in 2005. The following year he won a silver medal at the 2006 European Athletics Championships in Gothenburg with a jump of 17.21 metres.
He suffered a major injury in 2007 and, although he managed to compete at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he struggled to find form as the injury had upset his technique.
Douglas continued to compete taking part in World Championships, European Championships and the Commonwealth Games.
He went on to win a third British Championships at the 2016 British Athletics Championships, 11 years after his second *le. He then won his fourth *le two years later in 2018 and then his fifth when winning the triple jump at the 2020 British Athletics Championships with a jump of 15.80 metres.
