How I became the world's fastest accountant

By day, Eugene Amo-Dadzie is an accountant for a property firm. In his spare time, he's one of the fastest sprinters in the world.

He's just run the 100 metres in under 10 seconds, making him the fourth-fastest Briton of all time and the quickest in Europe this year. And what's truly startling is that he only stated taking running seriously a few years ago, at the relatively old age of 26.

He told Newshour's James Menedez what it felt like to cross the finish line in under 10 seconds.
