Zharnel Hughes has broken Linford Christie's long-standing British record for the 100 metres by running an eye-catching time of 9.83 in New York.
Hughes blew away the field which contained 2019 world champion Christian Coleman to win at the New York City Grand Prix. The 27-year-old sprinter took a huge chunk off his previous personal best of 9.91, which came back in 2018.
His time of 9.83 is the fastest in the world this year and the second fastest ever by a European athlete, behind Italy's Marcell Jacobs, who ran 9.80 to win Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2021.
