Adam Gemili born 6 October 1993 is a British sprinter. Gemili is of Iranian and Moroccan descent and remarked that “it’s a very weird background for a sprinter.”He is the 2014 European champion at 200 metres, and 4 x 100 metre relay, a silver medalist in the 100 metres and 4 x 100 metres relay in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, and a former World Junior champion at 100 metres and European Under-23 champion at 100 metres and 4 x 100 metre relay. On 7 July 2015, at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Birmingham, he ran his first legal sub-10-second race in the 100m clocking a time of 9.97 seconds, however he fell as he crossed the line, picking up a hamstring injury which would cause him to miss the 2015 World Championships. He is the one hundredth man to break 10 seconds.
