Omar McLeod continued his 2016 winning streak at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Doha on Friday, taking his unbeaten run this year to 10 victories across all events and disciplines, including heats.

His last defeat actually came in his last race of 2015, the IAAF World Championships Beijing 2015 110m hurdles final, when he finished sixth.

His eye-catching series of wins this year have included taking the world indoor 60m hurdles title in a Jamaican record and world lead of 7.41, and a 9.99 100m win on his home track in Fayetteville last month. The latter grabbed the attention of athletics aficionados as it made him the first athlete ever to have run faster than 10 seconds for the 100m and 13 seconds for the 110m hurdles.
