Israel Olatunde smashes Irish 100m record with blistering run in London

Olatunde, who relocated to Florida last year to train under coach Lance Brauman and alongside Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles, carved four hundredths of a second off the previous Irish record of 10.12, which he also ran in London last year, and was aided by the perfect tailwind of 2.0m/s - the maximum allowed for record purposes. The Tallaght AC athlete finished runner-up in the race, with victory going to Britain's Eugene Amo-Dadzie in 9.87.
