Israel Olatunde believes he can be the first Irish athlete to break the sub-10 second barrier after breaking the national 100m record on Tuesday.
The Dundalk sprinter became the first Irishman to reach a 100m final at the European Athletics Championships before breaking Paul Hession's 15-year record in a time of 10.17 seconds in the decider.
And the Irish youngster was only .04 of a second off a medal in what was a hugely encouraging performance for Irish athletics.
