Sydney Siame, the 19 year old sprinting sensation from Zambia who has set one of the fastest time in the world this year 9.87secs (0.2 m/s) is set to appear before the Cork City Sports crowd at CIT stadium on July 18th.

 

It was a show of intent from Siame when he clocked 9.87 secs at an all comers meeting in Lusaka which has garnered him the tag as the NEW Usain Bolt

 

He further underlined the immense potential he had displayed since winning the Youth Olympics GOLD three years ago in Nanjing, and now he has set a new National Record (NR), eclipsing his previous Personal Best of 10.18s. By so doing, Siame has now qualified for the World Championships in London which will be his second appearance at the biennial event, having debuted in Beijing two years ago at age 17.
