Harry was double world Youth Champion in 2005 and was awarded the ‘Rising Star of the Year’ award by the IAAF and the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award.
Harry’s parents come from Ghana – and he first burst onto the scene in 2003, when he set a European age-14 best of 10.83 for 100m. He discovered he was a good sprinter when he ran away from a barking dog when he was a youngster.
