“Is this even Legal” - Fans React as Unstoppable Zharnel Hughes Triumphs in Rainy Conditions at British Championship

In the midst of a fierce downpour, Zharnel Hughes, the current British record holder in the 100m, triumphantly clinched the national title with a time of just a little over 10 seconds. The clock stopped at 10.03 seconds in the Men's 100m race at the British Championship, where there was no wind to aid or hinder and Hughes displayed a reaction time of 0.102 seconds. This impressive feat took place at the Manchester Regional Arena, despite the challenging and relentless rainstorm.

Hughes' determination and victory amidst such unfavorable conditions surpass even his remarkable record of 9.8 seconds set in June. This showcases his ability to perform exceptionally well under adverse circumstances, making him a formidable contender in the upcoming World Athletics Championships, rather than a mere one-off achievement. Fans were in awe of his accomplishment, expressing their admiration for the sprinter.

One fan went as far as to estimate the potential time Zharnel Hughes could have achieved if the rainfall hadn't been a factor.

"This has to be the equivalent of running 9.7!!!"

Another fan raised doubts about the race's legitimacy.

"Is this even legal? Can athletes pole vault in the rain?"

In a lighthearted manner, a fan humorously compared Hughes' versatility.

"Made the track and swim team at the same time."

Yet another fan commended Hughes on his recent improvement in form.

"Wow, Zharnel has really stepped up his game lately."
