Vishwanath Devadiga, a 23-year-old Kambala racer from Byndoor of Udupi district, created a new record in the 100 m race in Aikala last Saturday, covering the distance in just 9.15 seconds.
Srinivas Gowda had taken social media by storm last year with his record of covering 100m in 9.55 seconds and his speed had prompted people to compare him with Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, whose 100m world record is 9.58 seconds.
