      Meet the Brit, 15, who’s faster than Bolt and Lyles at the same age, trained by his mum and is smashing world records

      by

      A TEENAGE British sprinter is on course to usurp Usain Bolt as the fastest man on the planet.It’s unusual for someone so young to have already been given a nickname like ‘Lightning’, but this is no normal kid.Divine Iheme has been smashing world records across his age group.The teenage sensation has been touted as one for the future of British athletics.Credit: GettyEnter record breaking Divine ‘Lightning’ Iheme who, at just 15-years-old is smashing 100 meters sprint barriers within his age group.Iheme has recorded faster times than world record holder Bolt and current Olympic champion Noah Lyles at the same age.Last August, at the age of 14, he recorded a monumental time in junior athletics, clocking in at 10.30 seconds across 100 meters.He was still in Year 9 at the time.Read more on sportTo put that figure into perspective, Lyles’ quickest recorded time at that age was 11.27 seconds, while Bolt managed 10.57.Iheme’s time cleared the previous world record in the age group of 10.51 seconds held by Jamaica’s Sachin Dennis.Even crazier is that Iheme’s time of 10.30 seconds would have earned him a third place finish in the British men’s 100m championship last year.Just last month the starlet broke a 23-year-old record, held by USA’s J-Mee Samuels, for the 60m indoor sprint recording a time of 6.71 seconds.Most read in AthleticsIheme was born to be an athlete. Both his mother, Nkiruka, and his father, Innocent, were successful athletes who represented Nigeria at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.Meet the 14-year-old British sprint prodigy Divine Iheme who is fastest U15 in history and dubbed ‘next Noah Lyles’ Coached by his mother, who also runs the PWD Athletics Academy in Oxfordshire, Divine seems to be in good hands.Speaking in an interview with The Telegraph he said: “She’s tough – really tough – very specific.“All she says is, ‘Focus on the one main goal’. It was two years ago that I ran my first sub 11 seconds – 10.86 when I was 13 – that was my first big thing. I have just been gradually working and working.”Mum Nkiruka chimed in: “He loves running so, so much, he doesn’t want to miss his training so, if he doesn’t do his homework, it’s ‘no training’.”The language we use is, ‘no pain, no gain’ or ‘pain now, play later’. Some children are just in the house playing games.”Recalling his early ventures into athletics in adverse conditions on school sports days Iheme continued: “I’d always win the 75m dash and the 200m by a big margin.“I hated the 600m – I remember crying.“I thought, ‘Yeah, I can do my own events and I want to take this seriously from now on’. Mum didn’t want to push me until I said I wanted to do it.””Lightning” has drawn comparisons to some of the best sprinters in recent timesCredit: GettyMultiple national age-group titles later his efforts reached new levels last August when he shocked the nation at Lee Valley.Iheme recolleted the experience: “I remember on the day the timer was delayed, I was crouched, waiting. I saw 10.3 and I started screaming and shouting and running around.”I was really surprised. The commentator started going crazy. It was an amazing experience. I loved it.”Nkiruka described her experience watching the spectacle with family in Nigeria: “We were jumping up and down – there was a window – and, in the excitement, I banged my head.”Despite her understandable excitement Nkiruka wants to keep her son grounded: “He’s not in competition with anybody – he is just enjoying his training.”If something comes, ‘Wow’. If not, ‘OK’. At the moment I don’t want to put pressure on him. He is going to do well.”READ MORE SUN STORIESIheme is a star in the making with the world at his feet. Breaking records has seen his popularity rise amongst his friends at schoolHe added: “They always say, ‘I can’t believe I’m friends with the world record holder’, it’s really good. They are really happy for me.”Iheme’s mother Nkurika has had a huge role in the development of the youngster.Credit: Getty More

      ‘They know the situation’ – Enzo Maresca confirms Robert Sanchez axed as Chelsea No1 after series of howlers

      by

      ROBERT SANCHEZ has been dropped as Chelsea’s No1 goalkeeper, Enzo Maresca has confirmed. Sanchez, 27, had been responsible for multiple clangers this season which caused the Blues to drop vital points in their hunt for the top four.Robert Sanchez has been dropped as Chelsea’s No1Credit: RexEnzo Maresca confirmed the decision ahead of Chelsea’s visit to Brighton on FridayCredit: PAFilip Jorgensen will take his place between the sticksCredit: GettyBut the final straw appears to have been his fatal gaffe against Manchester City.Filip Jorgensen replaced Sanchez in the following Premier League game against West Ham before Sanchez returned between the sticks for the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Brighton.However, Maresca has now confirmed Jorgensen is the team’s No1.Speaking to reporters ahead of their visit to Brighton on Friday evening, he said: “The Filip solution was also to give Robert some time to recover mentally and physically in general.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”The idea is not game by game to change the ‘keeper. “In the last Premier League game against West Ham, it was Filip and then in the FA Cup game, it was Robert but our ‘keeper in this moment is Filip.”I spoke with Robert a few days before West Ham where I took the decision to play Filip. I never spoke again with Robert. “With Filip, exactly the same. They know in this moment the situation.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS”This is the situation now and then we will see the situation. In this moment, it is like this.”Less than a month ago Maresca had given his backing to Sanchez to turn his form around, saying it was “not something strange, it is part of the job” to make mistakes.Inside Chelsea’s new £1.6BILLION stadium plans with Stamford Bridge project set to rival Tottenham’sThose comments came after the Spaniard gifted a goal to Wolves when dropping the ball when attempting to catch a cross.At that time the stats revealed only one goalkeeper, Ipswich’s Arijanet Muric, had made more than his four errors.But following his next gaffe against Man City, when he inexplicably charged out of his goal before being chipped by Erling Haaland, no goalkeeper in the Premier League was more error-prone.Chelsea ratings vs Brighton as pantomime villain Cucurella can hold head high but Nkunku has a shockerBRIGHTON came from behind to dump Chelsea out of the FA Cup with Kaoru Mitoma’s perfectly placed chip securing a 2-1 win for the Seagulls at the Amex stadium.But how did Chelsea’s players fare? Who was the biggest let down and who was the best of the worst? Check out SunSport’s player ratings…Robert Sanchez – 5/10Back in the side after being dropped by Enzo Maresca after a number of errors this season. The Spaniard looked shaky on the ball at the start of the game but seemed to brush off his nerves as the match developed.Nothing he could do about Brighton’s opener with Georginio Rutter’s perfectly placed header flying past him.Perhaps a little slow off his line for Brighton’s winner, but take nothing away from Kaoru Mitoma’s perfectly executed chip.Malo Gusto – 5Worked tirelessly charging up and down the right flank for Chelsea, but failed to have much joy going forward or defensively.Struggled to deal with the dangerous Mitoma throughout the game, and was caught napping out of position for the Japanese forwards winner.Tosin Adarabioyo – 5Alongside Trevoh Chalobah, was guilty of allowing Georginio Rutter to drift into space to fire home Brighton’s early equaliser.Played some confident passes at times, but also looked like a walking mistake on the ball at times. Was caught in possession on the halfway line by Georginio Rutter which almost led to a Brighton goal.Trevoh Chalobah  – 6Equally as responsible for Brighton’s opening goal alongside his centre back partner, allowing Rutter a free header in the box.Was more composed on the ball than his Tosin throughout the game, however, and already looks like Chelsea’s best centre back after being recalled from loan.Marc Cucurella – 6The pantomime villain of the evening at the Amex stadium, with Brighton fans spending the full 90 minutes booing their ex player everytime he got a hold of the ball.Was solid throughout the game, although failed to have the attacking impact that he has had for Chelsea in recent games.Moises Caicedo – 6Looked to be running a one man midfield before Enzo Fernandez was introduced in the second half.Worked tirelessly but was clearly frustrated with his sides efforts, putting in a couple of nasty tackles which led to him being booked.Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 4A rare start for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at Chelsea this season, and in truth, he failed to take advantage.A very poor challenge early on saw the Englishman booked, and he failed to have any impact on his side going forward or defensively in the first half.Was substituted fifteen minutes into the second half for Enzo Fernandez in the wake of Brighton’s second goal.Pedro Neto – 5An injury concern midway through the first half, which in truth he never quite looked to shake off.Looked confident he had the better of Tariq Lamptey, often beating his fullback. His final ball, however, was sorely lacking throughout the match, with a number of crosses flying over everyoneCole Palmer – 6Played his part in Chelsea’s opener with a first time cross into the box – although it’s difficult to mark that goal down as anything other than a Bart Verbruggen howler.Looked like he was missing his regular attacking partner Nicholas Jackson, with a clear lack of connection with the Frenchman Christopher Nkunku up top.Jadon Sancho – 5Looked uninterested for large parts of the first half, and failed to close down Joel Veltman who whipped in the cross for Brighton’s opener.He picked up in the second half with some direct dribbling, although never managed to find the final ball.Christopher Nkunku – 2It’s hard not to feel sorry for Nkunku, with the forward looking completely lost in Enzo Maresca’s system.It genuinely seemed like he wasn’t on the pitch at times, with the Frenchman missing in action for large parts of the game.The one clear chance he had running through on goal, he bizarrely elected to cross the ball rather than have an effort himself.SUBS:Enzo Fernandez (Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, 59) – 7Brought an air of control to Chelsea’s midfield which was sorely lacking before. Played a few nice passes with the short time he had on the pitch.Nothing came of his efforts, although perhaps the result would have been different for Chelsea had he started the game.Tyrique George (Jadon Sancho, 73) – 5Spurned a great opportunity over the bar, and other than that failed to have any impact.
