Owen Ansah became the first German 100 metres sprinter to dip below 10 seconds when he clocked 9.99 seconds at the national championships on Saturday.
Ansah, 23, bettered the German record of 10.01 from Julian Reus by two-hundredths of a second in Braunschweig. He won from pre-race favourite Joshua Hartmann who clocked a personal best 10.06.
Ansah's time also qualifies him for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
