It's getting serious now! It's been an amazing year for Trackspeed1, but after David Bolarinwa beat world leader Tyreek Hill (USA), the prospect of a serious (serious!) achievement at global level now stares everyone in the face!
David's semi-final win was a class act to say the leas. He remained unfazed by a spectacular bend by the fatstest junior in the world, and slowly hauled him in as they entered the straight. He won the semi in conditions that presented headwinds ranging from little to -4.5 or more, so times were largely immaterial.
"David can do this," said an elated coach John Powell afterwards. "He can stick all these supposed times down their throats and perform when it matters.
"He is a championship performer and boy oh boy will that stand in his favour when he lines up in the world final tomorrow night. I am so proud of him. He has acquitted himself so well in these championships. Now only one race stands between him and a serious statement of intent!"
The draw for the final - tomorrow night at 8.30pm BST - sees David in lane 5 with all 3 major threats outside him..
