CNN —Eugene Amo-Dadzie leads what appears to be an ordinary life: he’s a husband, a father, and works nine-to-five as a chartered accountant in London.
The sprinter’s career trajectory is unlike any of his rivals’ on the track and field circuit.
He only started training seriously at the age of 26 and still balances athletics with his regular job as an accountant.
A promising sprinter throughout school, Amo-Dadzie had lowered his 100m time to 11.3 seconds by the age of 17.
“It is a difficult balance – I’m a husband, I’m a father, I’m also a governor of a primary school.
