Ajayi runs 15th career sub-10s race in Switzerland

Nigeria's 100m record holder, Kayinsola Ajayi, continued his impressive season by winning the men's 100m at the Galà dei Castelli meeting in Bellinzona, Switzerland. Ajayi clocked 9.91 seconds in the race, marking his 15th sub-10-second performance and his ninth legal sub-10-second clocking of the 2026 season. The victory came after a breakthrough year for the 21-year-old, who has won multiple titles, including the NCAA outdoor 100m and two Diamond League circuit victories.

His latest win further solidified his position as one of Nigeria's leading sprint prospects, with the season set to conclude at the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in Budapest in September.
