His 10-second flat run obliterated Gout’s personal best time of 10.17 and is also faster than any 100m time recorded by Usain Bolt as a 20-year-old.
It was so fast that it set a new world record for the fastest 100m time ever achieved by an athlete under the age of 18.
Shimizu beat the previous record jointly held by American Christian Miller, and Thai ace Puripol Boonson, who both previously ran 100m in 10.06 seconds.

“I’m happy to have set a high school record. I’d like to get a taste of it if I can make it.”
