Obinna Metu

The Nigerian sprinter Obinna Metu has spent the last two months in Jamaica being coached by Glenn Mills, the man responsible for getting Usain Bolt to the top of world athletics.

The opportunity was provided by the G4S programme, which supports a group of aspiring young athletes from around the world.

With a personal best of 10.16 seconds over 100 metres, the young Nigerian still has work to do if he is to challenge the best but is confident that the experience of working with a with coach of Mills' calibre will help him to get to the very top.
