Usain Bolt is one of the finest athletes in global athletics history. He transcended athletics because he obviously enjoyed what he did. He had confidence in his ability and his fitness. Bolt lived off the fan energy, and the fans lived off Bolt.
Bolt has picked Coleman as the next big thing in sprinting. Christian Coleman is not Usain Bolt. He never will be. And that is okay.
For Christian Cole
Bolt picks Coleman
NEW YORK (USA): Usain Bolt spoke with OlympicTalk while in Manhattan to receive an International Humanitarian Award from the American Friends of Jamaica for his charity work. Bolt also discussed his peculiar Instagram post about Noah Lyles, Allyson Felix breaking his world titles record and his pick to win the Tokyo Olympic 100m. “I don’t see anybody actually beating Coleman. I think he’s only going to get better. For me, competing with him [in 2017, when Coleman took silver and Bolt bronze at worlds], his start is ridiculous. If he improves the last part of his race, he’s going to be, probably, unstoppable. I don’t see anybody beating him. I also have to say respect to Gatlin, the fact that he medaled at the championship. I told my people, listen, I’m sure Coleman is going to win, but Gatlin is going to be in the top three no doubt because when he comes to a championship, no matter how much you feel like he’s not going to do well, he shows up. That’s just the mind of a champion. Competing with him throughout the years, I figured that out. That’s why I respect him. I gave him respect at the end.” Informs https://olympics.nbcsports.com
