Name: Adam Gemili.

Age: 18.

Event: 100m.

Location: Olympic Stadium, Stratford.

Time: August 4 and August 5.

Local link: From Dartford, Adam attended Dartford Grammar School and is a member of Blackheath & Bromley Harriers.

Career best: 10.05s at this month’s world junior championships.

Career high: Being selected for this summer’s London 2012 Games and winning that gold on July 11 in Barcelona at the world junior championships.

Sporting background: Adam’s selection to take part in this summer’s Games is nothing short of sensational.

A former youth footballer with Chelsea and Reading, he was released by League Two Dagenham in January 2012.

Most athletes spend years trying to break into an Olympics squad but Adam managed to do it in just a matter of months.

He joined Blackheath & Bromley Harriers in April 2010 and stunned everyone by winning his first competitive 100m the following April in under 11 seconds.

Adam won silver at the European junior championships in Estonia last summer and secured his Olympic spot in June by finishing second behind Dwain Chambers in the UK trials.

The Olympics had not previously been considered Adam’s number one target, which instead was July’s world junior championships in Barcelona.

There he stormed to gold medal glory in just 10.05s and now has his heart set on breaking the 10 second barrier at the Olympic Games.

He says: I will go and execute my race plan and if I do that, hopefully the time will come.

If it doesn’t then it is not to be but it is close to coming hopefully.

We say: Adam’s story reads like a Hollywood script and if he wins gold then the movie deal should be in the bag.

That would mean having to beat Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake so maybe bronze is the Dartford star’s best hope if he does make it through to the final.
