Olympic legend Usain Bolt insists that none of the current crop of sprinters have the ‘talent’ to break his 100m record
As a former 100m world champion, Christian Coleman was one of the favourites to take gold across the distance at Paris 2024 .is over for another four years after suffering more heartbreak on the track - but his medal hopes aren't entirely over.Coleman's journey to the Games has been anything but smooth, marked by controversies and setbacks.
His explosive starts and remarkable acceleration made him a formidable competitor in the 100m and 200m events. The US sprinter successfully appealed the decision, allowing him to compete at the World Championships, but it was then found he had missed yet another drug test and he received an 18-month ban.
Coleman added: “This isn’t justice for anybody. Not me, not them, not the sport, who wins here? I am willing to take a drug test every single day for the rest of my career for all I care to prove my innocence.” Still, Coleman did not let this disappointing result deter him. He beat Lyles in the 100m at the Diamond League finals, increasing his season’s best to 9.83. This was Coleman’s fastest 100m since the 2019 World Athletics Championships.
Reacting to his 100m heartbreak, Coleman wrote on Instagram: “Humbled and grateful God chose me for this path, and I promise to see it through. The love and support has been felt and is much appreciated. This next phase is for y’all. Marathon continues."
