David Bolarinwa

Was just wondering how good people think he could be? Only saw him run once at the youth Olympic games were he claimed the bronze over 100m. But I was looking through the power of 10 site and saw hes got a big new PB of 10.29 already this season and still only 17. Could be a future star of british sprinting, any thoughts?

Actually, he did three PBs in a single afternoon peaking in that 10.29 secs, Ifc91! I personally think he's highly talented and could go even sub 10.20 this season. Watch this space!

thanks for the reply. I was thinking myself that if hes capable of 10.29 this early then something like 10.18 isnt out of the question before the end of this season. I think britain realy need a new male sprint talent, especialy when you see what other countries(jamaica in particular) have coming through there ranks.

David Bolarinwa ran 10.42 (-0.8m/sec) to come third in the 100m at St Polten in Austria, having set the same time in the heats into a stronger headwind of -1.2m/sec.

For good measure, he was second in his section of the 200m in 21.35 secs (-1.8m/sec).
