A long-standing British record has finally fallen. At just 18 years of age, Jake Odey Jordan clocked a stunning 32.63 seconds over 300 metres indoors at the VA Showcase in the United States. In doing so, he bettered the previous national mark by more than a tenth of a second on a distance that may be rarely contested, but remains highly revealing. National records are scarce at any age; breaking one at 18 is a clear marker of exceptional talent and long-term potential.
