Christian Coleman just does it, 60 meter World champs gold, photo by PhotoRun.net
Christian Coleman has had an amazing indoor season. His 6.37 for 60 meters on January 20 at Clemson. On February 17, Christian Coleman ran an imperfect 60 meters, and, with his arms outstretched, destroyed the world record with a sizzling 6.34 for the 60 meters. The electronic blocks, the electronic start, the drug testing all means that Christian got his world record.
On March 3, 2018, Christian Coleman ran a better, but still, imperfect race, winning his first global championships, with a championship record of 6.37. Here is his interview with the Shoe Addicts post race, on the evening of March 3, 2018.
Christian Coleman is a tremendous athlete with huge promise. After Coleman’s race, I asked Maurice Greene, the previous world record holder for the 60 meters about Christian. Maurice Greene told @runblogrun that Christian Coleman can, if he work out a few more things in his racing, a bit faster over 60 meters and 9.65 or better in the 100 meters. That’s high praise from Maurice Greene.
