The 18-year-old, who shot to prominence when he ran 10.08 in May and was second at the Olympics trials , beat the championship record of 10.09 set by Trinidadian Darrel Brown in 2002. Gemili follows in the footsteps of fellow Britons Christian Malcolm (1998), Mark Lewis-Francis (2000) and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (2006), who all became junior world champion. His time was 0.12secs quicker than American Aaron Ernest, who took silver in 10.17, with Jamaican Odean Skeen third in 10.28. Gemili won his semi-final in some comfort in 10.18 seconds, and improved on his previous personal best of 10.08 by a further three hundredths of a second in the final, in the same Montjuic Stadium in Barcelona where Linford Christie won 100m gold at the 1992 Olympics. Only Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre, who ran 10.04 in Rome in May, has run faster than Gemili among Europeans this year.
