Zharnel Hughes produced the performance of his dreams to break Linford Christie’s 30-year-old British record in the 100 metres on Saturday, winning at the New York City Grand Prix in 9.83sec.
The 27-year-old exploded off the blocks and held off the Jamaican Ackeem Blake by a tenth of a second to break the former Olympic champion Christie’s national record. The American Christian Coleman, the world champion in Doha four years ago, settled for third place in 10.02.
