John Lamb – World Champion

John Lamb travelled to Daegu with one goal — to compete against the best Masters hurdlers in the world.

He returned a World Champion.

Gold in the M75 300m Hurdles and bronze in the 80m Hurdles capped months of dedicated preparation — and proved that the pursuit of performance, improvement and Running Excellence has no age limit.

From Chasing 11s to Smashing Them – Daniel’s 10.88s Statement


Daniel Nwaobi set out to do something that most athletes spend years chasing — to break the 11-second barrier in the 100m sprint.
He gave himself 10 weeks.
