Usain Bolt's record might just be under threat in years to come, with seven-year old speedster Rudolph Ingram making some serious waves.

'Blaze' is a national track champion with a total of 20 gold medals across two Amateur Athletic Union national championship events, while his best recorded time for the 100 metres is a scary 13.48.

When you consider that Bolt's world record stands at 9.58, it's a pretty incredible feat. But watch him in action and it's easy to see why he's deemed to be a phenomenon in the making.

Ingram, who has been praised by NBA legend LeBron James, also uses his deadly pace on the football pitch for his side Tampa Ravens.

He might be one of the smallest players on the field, but his runs from deep cause absolute havoc.

His coach, Jimmy Watson, said in an interview via Youth1 in 2018 that 'Blaze' also has vision like he's never seen before.

"At running back you can count on him to put the team on his small back and carry us to the promise land." he said.

"At safety it's unbelievable how he can make plays in the backfield. At running back he's very fast but even more elusive. The kid has vision like I've never seen in a 6-year-old before.

"One second he's going one way and then you blink and he's going another way.He stops on the drop of a dime And runs so aggressive. The kid is one in a million at safety.

"He's so fast. He gets to the ball in the backfield and has great hips. I've yet to see someone put a move on him. The kids is an all-around great player."

Remember the name...
