Sprinter flying high after running fastest time of the yearHughes says he is ready to be ‘part of the rumble’ in Budapest
A few days after shattering Linford Christie’s 30-year-old British 100m record, Zharnel Hughes is busy recalibrating his sights towards new heights – on the track and off.
Hughes’s time of 9.83 seconds at the New York City Grand Prix on Saturday made him the fastest man on the planet this year, and a genuine contender for gold at the world championships in Budapest this summer. At the age of 27 he believes he is ready “to be part of the rumble”.
