Fasuba’s daughter, a promising young athlete, is poised to break a new UK record. The up-and-coming star, known for her impressive track and field performances, has been training intensely and showing exceptional promise. Fans and experts are eagerly anticipating her potential to surpass previous achievements and set a new standard in UK athletics.
With her father’s legacy in sports as a driving force, she is motivated to make her own mark in the competitive world. Fasuba, a former Olympic sprinter, has been supportive of his daughter’s ambitions, and many are excited to see how she will carry forward her family’s sporting legacy.
Annabelle Fasuba, the 13-year-old daughter of former Nigerian sprinter Olusoju Fasuba, is on the verge of setting a new indoor club record across three age categories in the 60m indoors. She achieved a remarkable feat by winning her first senior title at the Sutcliffe Indoor 60’s and 60m hurdles event in London. Despite competing against U-23 athletes, Annabelle impressed by winning her first indoor 60m race in a time of 7.61 seconds, followed by a victory in the final with a time of 7.65 seconds.
Her father, Olusoju Fasuba, who is an African record holder in the men’s 100m, expressed immense pride in his daughter’s achievement, marking a major milestone in her promising athletic career. Annabelle’s success is garnering attention, and she is quickly becoming a rising star in track and field.
At just 13 years old, Annabelle Fasuba achieved an impressive milestone by winning her first indoor 60m competition in 7.61 seconds, competing against under-23 athletes. Despite her spikes giving way shortly before the race, she went on to secure victory in the finals with a time of 7.65 seconds.
Her father, Olusoju Fasuba, shared the news on Facebook, expressing pride in his daughter’s accomplishment. He noted that her time of 7.61 seconds would set a new record in the UK, while Annabelle would also become the number one U-15 female sprinter in the UK for the 2025 season. This performance marks a significant step in her budding athletics career.
Annabelle Fasuba’s time of 7.61 seconds, once ratified, will establish new club records across three age categories: under-15 (previously 8.11 seconds), under-17, and under-20 (both previously 7.90 seconds). This achievement not only sets a new standard but also positions her as the number one under-15 female sprinter in the UK for the 2025 season, marking an extraordinary start to her athletics career.
Earlier this year, Annabelle gained significant attention in the track and field world, setting two new UK records in the under-15 Girls 100m and 200m in one week. At the Devon County AA Track and Field Championships, she broke records in both events, running a time of 12.11 seconds in the 100m, just 0.02 seconds off her personal best, and clocking a new personal best of 25.02 seconds in the 200m. This performance set a new championship record, the fastest time of the day across all age categories.
Her father, Olusoju Fasuba, an African Championships titleholder and bronze medalist in the 4x100m relay at the 2004 Athens Olympics, continues to be a source of inspiration for Annabelle’s impressive track journey.
