Unveiling the next Usain Bolt - and he is already living the part!!
16-year-old Emmanuel Akolo decided to move up to the Junior category, and even though he could have rightfully been dominating the Youths, and it's a decision that has paid off already.
Akolo had run a Personal Best of 10.82s (+1.4) to win heat 3 of U20 men's 100m semifinals, but he took it higher in the final, stunning the Juniors.
Although the race had an excessive tailwind, it was the manner of his win, beating a very strong field to claim the title that was very impressive.
Akolo won the final in 10.61s (+5.3), ahead of his other teammates: Destiny Reuben who was 2nd in 10.74s and Alvin Onyeama 3rd in 10.76s
