Chijindu UJAH - Great Britain & N.I. - Gold medal in 4x100m at 2016 European Championships.

Chijindu "CJ" Ujah pictured after the British team of James Dasaolu, Adam Gemili, James Ellington and himself

had just won their qualifying heat of the men's 4x100 metres relay at the 2016 European Championships in

Amsterdam.


Their time of 38.12 was the fastest in Europe and indeed they failed to better it when winning the final

following day (38.17 seconds). It was CJ's first medal as a senior athlete.


In 2013 he won the European Junior title in Rieti.

In 2014 he became the youngest British sprinter to break 10 seconds (9.96 +1.4w) for the 100 metres

and the fifth ever.  He is below with the gold medal winning team on the Sunday.


Left to right they are: James-Dasaolu, Adam-Gemili, James-Ellington and Chijindu-Ujah.
