Akani Simbine sounded a warning to the world as he clocked 9.84 sec to break the African 100m record and leave some of the world’s best sprinters eating his dust on Tuesday.

with a blistering run as he knocked 0.05sec off his own SA mark‚ which he'd set on the same track in 2016‚ and 0.01 off the African record.

“But the job is not done yet. This was just the first tick towards going to Tokyo. We had to do it now and I’m glad we did it on time.” “I feel like we’re peaking at the right time‚” Simbine said from Europe‚ where he has been based with coach Werner Prinsloo since May.“I always said I needed to run fast before I go to Tokyo so I can have the confidence and the speed going into the Games so now that it’s there I’m confident in what we do‚ I’m confident in the work that we’re doing‚ I’m confident in the process that we’re in.”
