Usheoritse Itsekiri broke the 10-second barrier for the first time in his career, clocking a rapid 9.97 seconds (+2.1) in the men’s 100m event at the Royal City Inferno Festival.

Despite his remarkable performance, Itsekiri’s time won’t be recognized as a Personal Best (PB) due to the wind reading slightly exceeding the allowable limit of 2.0 meters per second.

The Nigerian stormed victory ahead of Eliezer Adjibi Can, who finished with a time of 9.98 seconds, while Duan Asemota secured the third position with a time of 10.06 seconds.

Itsekiri will have to wait for more favorable weather conditions to achieve his personal best dream.
