Eugene Amo-Dadzie

Eugene Amo-Dadzie is a British sprinter known for his incredible speed and inspiring journey to the world stage. Starting his athletics career at the age of 26, Eugene’s rise in the 100 metres is nothing short of extraordinary, especially considering his late entry into the sport. In 2025, Eugene ran 9.87 (2.0) for the 100m, placing him joint-second on the UK all-time list and joint-fifth on the European all-time list.

While still working full-time as a qualified chartered accountant, Eugene earned the nickname “The World’s Fastest Accountant” as he juggled his demanding career with his athletic ambitions. His dedication paid off as he rose into the very top tier of European sprinting while also winning two national bronze medals.

Eugene’s breakthrough moment came when he finished 10th at the World Athletics Championships, all while taking annual leave from work to compete.
