Eugene Amo-Dadzie calls himself the world's fastest accountant and the number-crunching British athlete put his money where his mouth is by scorching the track in Graz, Austria with a superb 9.93 seconds finish in the 100 metre run.
Amo-Dadzie's astonishing effort also left him joint-fourth on the British all-time list which features names like Linford Christie , James Dasaolu and Zharnel Hughes and Reece Prescod . "I leaned towards the line, looked over, saw the time began with a nine and went crazy. I just went mad. God willing, I will run that many more times, but you only get the first one once. It was one of the best days of my life."
The late bloomer, who does not have a sponsor or funding, said he might not have realised his full potential had he been discovered earlier.
