Sardinian emerging talent sprinter Filippo Tortu confirmed his talent in Madrid as he bettered the iconic 10-second barrier for the first time in his career.

Just one week after turning 20, the European junior champion clocked 9.99 to beat the long-standing Italian record of 10.01 set by Pietro Mennea back in 1979, 19 years before Tortu was born.

“To run the 100m under 10.00 seconds is a dream I have had since I was a kid,” said the world U20 silver medallist. “Today that dream came true. I can’t believe it. My main focus now is the Europeans in Berlin.”
