Career

Late starter

Amo-Dadzie didn’t start competing until he was twenty-six years-old, by which time he was a qualified chartered accountant. He competed at the British Athletics Championships for the first time in 2019, finishing fifth in his semi-final.[3]

A Woodford Green athlete, Amo-Dadzie ran a new personal best time over 100m of 10.20 seconds to finish second at the 2021 British Athletics Championships in Bedford.[4] In August 2022 he lowered his 100m personal best to 10.05 in Stratford. This placed him third over 100m by fastest time by UK athletes in 2022.[5][6]

First British selection

In February 2023 he finished third behind Reece Prescod and Jeremiah Azu at the British Indoor Athletics Championships 60m race, held in Birmingham.[7] They were subsequently selected for the Great Britain squad for the 2023 European Athletics Indoor Championships held at the Ataköy Athletics Arena in Istanbul.[8] He qualified for the semi-finals of the 60m on his major championships debut.[9]

Breaking the ten-second barrier

On 16 June 2023 he clocked 9.93 seconds for the 100m at a meeting in Graz, Austria to break the 10-second barrier for the first time.[10] In July 2023, competing at the British Championships in Manchester, he reached the final in the 100m and finished third overall.[11]

He was chosen to represent Great Britain at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest in August 2023, to make his world championship debut at the age of 31[12] He reached the semi-finals of the 100 metres.[13][14] Later that year he was granted UK Sport’s national lottery funded world class programme for the first time.[15]

In April 2024, he was selected as part of the British team for the 2024 World Athletics Relays in Nassau, Bahamas.[16]

Personal life

From Rainham, Amo-Dadzie said he felt a responsibility to speak out to encourage BAME people to consider taking the covid-19 vaccine in order to quell concerns they may have. Eugene is married with children.[17] His parents are of Ghanaian heritage and his mother worked as a social carer and his father worked on the London Underground. He has two sisters.[18] After university he began working in accounting; as of 2023 he was working as a senior accountant for a subsidiary of Berkeley Group, St George plc.[14]
