The Nigerian speedster has been a consistent performer this season, competing at various meets in Europe and dropping 10.2s range in all his races.
With his new 10.04s, Ogunlewe showed he is in fantastic shape this year and has what it takes to hit the World Championships qualifying standard of 10.00s.
