    Pretty amazing for a kid who only took up running 2 years ago (his family wanted him to try lots of other sports before concentrating on running) although his running genes are pretty finely tuned

    The difference in his technique compared to those racing for second is stark: His drive out of the blocks and his high knee lift are chalk and cheese.

    There is a bit of the Usain Bolt in the way that he eats up the ground.
