Eugene Amo-Dadzie

Eugene Amo-Dadzie is a British sprinter known for his incredible speed and inspiring journey to the world stage. Starting his athletics career at the age of 26, Eugene’s rise in the 100 meters is nothing short of extraordinary, especially considering his late entry into the sport.

This time made him the fourth-fastest British sprinter in history and the 10th-fastest European sprinter in history

While still working full-time as a qualified chartered accountant, Eugene earned the nickname "The World’s Fastest Accountant" as he juggled his demanding career with his athletic ambitions. His dedication paid off as he became the 10th fastest European sprinter in history and the 4th fastest in UK history, while also winning two national bronze medals.

Eugene’s breakthrough moment came when he finished 10th at the World Athletics Championships, all while taking annual leave from work to compete. His story is one of perseverance, showing that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams and achieve greatness, no matter where you begin.
