Is this the fastest seven-year-old in the world?

Seven-year-old Florida schoolboy Rudolph Ingram shocked onlookers, when he took just 13.48 seconds to complete a 100 metre sprint. The youngster, known as β€˜Blaze’, is aiming to one day smash the 9.58 second world record set by Usain Bolt.

His dad, Rudolph Ingram Senior, got him interested in track running when he was three-years-old and told Radio 5 Live he's β€œone of the fastest kids around”.

β€œHe’s very quick. His feet go up and down so fast so if you’re coming out slow you’re in trouble.”

β€˜Blaze’ is also a big fan of American Football, and aims to one day compete in the Olympics as well as the NFL.
