A VIDEO of a seven-year-old boy sprinting 100m in 13.48 seconds has gone viral.

The clip was posted on an Instagram account run by his father, who frequently posts videos of Rudolph Ingram, who is known as ‘Blaze’.

This particular clip however, has everyone wondering if the youngster is the new Usain Bolt, for competing in the 100m and 60m races and leaving all his competitors in his wake, recording 13.48s in the 100m and just 8.69s in the 60m.

Blaze’s impressive performances have seen his followers on Instagram rise to 363,000, with many praising the tiny athlete.

“Star in the making! congrats to you young man,” wrote one social media user, while another said: “it looks like he's running in a different race than the other kids on the track!”
