Adegoke, who is officially the fastest man in the world so far this year following his 10.16 seconds 100m run at the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) All-Comers competition held at the Sports Ground of the FUTA Akure edged Itsekiri Usheoritse and Seye Ogunlewe first-place finish at the Yaba Tech Sports Complex.
And while speaking on the feat achieved, he said
“It was awesome. It’s a time of joy and excitement. I really thank God for it.”
“Coming for the trials I have like three to four targets:
God so good I think I met the targets except for the 9 secs but then it was a time I really wish to come and God did it for me, I really thank Him.
