Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme stormed through torrential rain in Glasgow to claim Commonwealth Games gold in the 100 metres, setting a landmark Games record of 9.83 seconds.
The 32-year-old sprinter shattered Ato Boldon’s 28-year-old record despite the dreadful Scottish weather conditions.
Australia’s Lachlan Kennedy secured a surprise silver medal, while Nigeria’s Kanyinsola Ajayi earned the bronze.
Eseme expressed surprise at his record-breaking performance, especially since he only began his track and field career eight years ago.

He noted that he refused to let the heavy rain hinder his performance, choosing to focus on the race rather than complain about conditions that affected every athlete on the track.
