☆ Eugene Amo-Dadzie only started sprinting seriously in his mid-20s. Now ‘the world’s fastest accountant’ is taking track and field by storm

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.

☆ 'World's fastest accountant' Amo-Dadzie goes under 10 seconds in Graz 100m

June 20 (Reuters) - Eugene Amo-Dadzie calls himself the world's fastest accountant and the number-crunching British athlete put his money where his mouth is by scorching the track in Graz, Austria with a superb 9.93 seconds finish in the 100 metre run. The 30-year-old full-time accountant, who only started running seriously four years ago, improved on his personal best at the Horst Mandl Memorial last week to become the quickest 100m runner in Europe this year. "I got a really good reaction, a really good start and then it was like 'Do not let your foot off the gas'," Amo-Dadzie told the BBC. "I leaned towards the line, looked over, saw the time began with a nine and went crazy. "I still refer to myself as an accountant that happens to operate in the world of track and field."
