Coleman defeats Noah Lyles

Christian Coleman reigned again. The winner of seven world championship medals (four golds) and two more metals on the track was fined two years by the athletics integrity department for failing to pass three anti-doping controls. Does this sound familiar to you? Just like Mohamed Kathir. In the case of the American sprinter, the sanction was eventually limited to one and a half years, because it was considered that “the degree of negligence of the athlete was below the established level.” Despite this, he was left without the Tokyo Games, and it hurt him both on the track and emotionally.

ANDIn Glasgow he defeated his enemy, his compatriot Noah Lyles. An American athletics icon, a strong advocate for African American civil rights who raised his voice against racism, a powerful speaker on the importance of mental health, and an example of improvement by becoming a successful athlete despite spending his childhood unable to attend school physical education classes. due to severe asthma. In addition, he just signed a head-turning contract with Adidas, an extension to be exact until 2029, about 10 million per year, according to what AS has learned.

Coleman’s 6.41 compared to Lyles’ 6.44. It’s true that the Budapest 2023 triple gold, which included five other planetary metals and one Olympic medal, was a failure and was still close to a comeback. In the 100m he would almost certainly win, but the 60m doesn’t allow for mediocre starts. “I was very confident. I decided to let my body do what it did in training and I won. Now it’s time to continue working hard and look forward to the Olympic Games in Paris. These opportunities cannot be missed.” Coleman says happily.
