How he races
His personal best came in a qualification run, racing the clock rather than a rival in the next lane. Apart from that run, he has come within a tenth of a second of it three more times in competition, so it was no one-off. Across 11 international events in 2025 and 2026, he did not reach the elimination rounds. His fastest time dropped from 5.46 in 2025 to 5.21 in 2026.
