Zambian sprinter Sydney Siame laid claimed to the title of the world’s fastest kid when he won the 100 metres final at the Youth Olympics on Saturday.
The 16-year-old Zambian took out the blue-riband event by the barest of margins in a time of 10.56 seconds, just one-hundredth of a second ahead of Japan’s Kenta Oshima.
Siame picked up Zambia’s first medal at the ongoing Youth Olympics in Nanjing in China.
The 2014 Youth Olympic 100 meters gold medalists is targeting a medal spot at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.
“I won’t relax, it’s just the beginning for me, infact my target is 2016 and 2020, Zambians should expect gold from there,” Siame said.
Siame won with a time of 10:56 while Oshima Kenta of Japan and Williams Trae of Australia won Silver and Bronze respectively.
Congrats young man B-) a lovely achievement and definitely looking forward to more glory from you as you turn tables on those Jamaicans 🙂
my young brother keep on representing yourself in this manner. we as a nation am sure are all proud of you. we remember you to our ancestors.
Always aim for gold.
Congratulations ya tata ya Siame! You’ve really done us proud at a time when are stressing about what lies ahead in the soccer AFCON Morocco 2015 qualifiers. Thank you and keep it up…
No clip? I didn’t watch it
Way to go Kid! Keep on Believing in yourself, don’t let the hopelessness of Zambia weigh you down and never ever talk to Kambwili!!
Wow Nubian, that cool comment, am amazed.
Princess you a sad person. Cant just comment without adding negativity? Try being positive, may like it.
Congratulation you made us proud after so many years we have something to talk about in athletics
At last! here comes hope
Twasalifya ya Siame or is it Twataizya? I don’t know which way to go but all the same congrats young man. Keep it up.
We shouldn’t be too carried away. He performed badly in the junior category failing to make the finals. h
First, post the clip where he won. Then you can post this
So what. We are on about now, not then. Dont be a hater.
Junior category? These are the Youth Olympics mate and every competitor here is a ‘junior’. Guess you’re not too happy that he won gold. Anyway, there’s always people like you with PhD (Pull him down) in the world so I hope those who are genuinely happy for him should just ignore you.
Ricky Bobby? There is youth level and the next level up is junior level. Most of his American and Jamaican competitors of age skipped the youth level to compete in the junior level, where he failed to make the finals. The Americans and Jamaicans had 15 year olds in the youth level. Where is the PHD in this?
Congratulations young man! You’ve done us proud. Where is Chishimba Kambwili? Let him do something about this young talent.
At 17, I expect you to shed 1 second from your time with ease. Keep it up boy.
OYDC producing results ka? Congrats young man
Great young Man , we are proud of you .
Well done young man. As a proud Zambian living in exile in the UK it pleases my heart to read this story. Have good people around you to support you. I’m sure you won’t listen to negativity. Keep working hard. The sky is the limit. Dreams can come true. Well done again for making mama Zambia proud.
Way to go young boy! Am happy for you and Zed at large!
my god guide you to better things to came.
100meters competing with ASIANS and you call it an achievement? Please give us a break
Oh please, this is a worldwide competition! If you think that you can beat running 100m in 10.51 seconds than why don’t you try it? Foolish person, I am sick of your behaviour, at least he tried his best.
