15-year-old sprinters dominated global attention because the world’s run is best 60 m to 100 m
Divine Iheme is a name you would like to remember. Recently, Oxford-based Sprinter wrote his name as a long-term record of more than 60 million the fastest 15-year-old 6.74.
This is now the athlete, which is known as the fourth of the “Lightning Divine”, on the list of the 60m classification list of all time in the UK, which reaches only 1999. 6.69 marks of Mark Luc-Francis.
But this is the first brush of iheme with greatness. Last summer, he has already attracted global attention, when he ran out of the world, over the age of 100 to 100 years old, he rejoiced more than 100 m by his coach and mother.
The athleticians clearly pass through the blood of the family, because both of his parents were innocent and a mother-in-law. They are still early days, of course, but the future of the teenager seems bright.

How have you been in athletics?
I first started running on the sports day in the primary school. I really performed well, and I was overloaded again and again. It is obvious that my mother and father were both competing to such a high level, so they had affected me that day.
I would always make 100 m and 200 meat and immediately knew I like those events and wanted to stay them. I started running 600 m, but I realized that it was my strong point, so I learned that the sprining was the best for me.
How did the price above 60m be over the age of 15?
It felt surprisingly, because now I can keep two titles on my name, but I am also aware that I don’t want to let him leave my head. It took me some time that I realized that I had broken the record because I thought it was not 6.74 years old instead. So even when I was beating it in the first stage, I thought I had a little more to go to beat it. But then I saw the Instagram post after the race, saying I was launched by the world record, and it was the first I knew about it I was so excited.
What is your biggest achievement so far?
Definitely 100m world record, because it was my first, so it was even more unique. I remember the day the day showed the council and it took the age to show anyone’s number. I was just waiting, my heart race, and I saw 10.30 pop, and I started jumping and shouting, and all the people around me rejoiced. I will never forget that.
I actually knew I could run fast because I ran 10.45 in my previous race, so I could do it without it. I put my faith to God and worked it.

Do you feel any pressure, now you keep these records?
I don’t feel much pressure when it goes down from 100 m to 60m because I know I’m stronger than 200 m, and I can make it much better. When I see my name is so much attention that makes me feel really good because I know I’ve worked so hard and I’m happy for me and my family.
What is it to train by your mother?
Actually is really tough because he is my coach at the end of the day and I can’t miss any sessions. When we are on track, there is no mercy, no matter what he wants to see that he does everything, and he knows what he knows. It’s really tough but it makes it really good because it gives me motivation I have to go on to go and run faster.

Which athletes are you looking for?
I always looked at the US bolt. I always look back and watch all his old tribes, especially when he runs to the relays because I love relays very much.
As for the athletes who still compete, I should have said (Olympic 200m Champion) LETSILE TEBOGO. He is the one I really look and feel inspired. He is obviously really fast, but he is also humble. He knows when to speak, and when not, he always knows when to do something right. I watched her at the Olympics and she’s definitely one of my favorite athletes.
What are your next goals?
In 100m, I hope to break the 15-year-old record to be able to spend 14 and 15 records at the same time. In 200 m, I aim to run this season in this season.
I know that I always work hard hard, no matter what, because it can’t reach anything without anything.
