Divine Iheme named fastest 14 year old in Britain and the world

GSF athlete Divine Iheme, the fastest 14-year-old in Britain and the world after the teenager smashed the world record for his age group during an athletic meet at Lee Valley (August 26).

Divine ran an unthinkable 10.3 seconds, shaving off a staggering 0.21 seconds from the previous record, which was 10.51s, held by Jamaican Sachin Dennis.

He is now the third fastest ever on the European under-18-all-time list, only Great Britain's Teddy Wilson (10.26) and France's Jeff Erious (10.27) clocking faster times. 

He has set the UK best times for the 100m and 200m events in April, before smashing his own 100m record twice after that, recording times of 10.65s and 10.3s (WR).
