When Coleman was defeated at the US Olympic Trials the sprinter reflected on his rivalry with Lyles and future redemption plans.
Former world 100m champion Christian Coleman made headlines five months ago with a mix of disappointment and determination after a dramatic loss in the U.S. Olympic Trials, failing to secure a spot on the U.S. 100m team for the Paris Olympics.
His rivalry with Noah Lyles, the eventual Olympic gold medalist and Fred Kerley, who finished with silver in Paris remains a focal point of sprinting conversation, especially following the trials where Coleman’s performance fell short of expectations.
In what was one of the most anticipated head-to-head clashes of the season, Coleman found himself missing the podium in the 100m finals of the U.S. Trials.
