Israel Olatunde smashes 60m National Record in magical performance

Ireland's fastest man Israel Olatunde lived up to the billing as he set a new indoor 60m Irish record of 6.57 at the National Senior Indoor Championships on Sunday afternoon.

The UCD star ran the lightning fast time as he took home victory in the Craig Lynch Memorial Cup at the Sport Ireland Arena, smashing Paul Hession's record of 6.61 which he set in Birmingham back in 2007.

This is the second record that Olatunde has snatched from Hession in recent months, after the Dundalk speedster claimed his 100m Irish crown at the European Championships last August.
