Christian Coleman

Kenny Benarek showed up, showed out, completely shocked the world, winning the 100 meter gold medal in 9.85 seconds.

running down the clear favorite in oblique seville who ran 9.90 seconds for a second whereas ronnie baker he got third in 9.93 just edging ahead of ajayi who ran the same time and christian coleman who ran 9.94 listen kenny b has never won a gold medal at the global championships in any capacity individually in 100 or 200 meters and this is after multiple attempts 200 meters silver in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025.

100 meters, he got seventh in 2024 and fourth in 2025.

Everyone, even including myself, I was saying, listen, the 100 meters is just different for Kenny.

And when you're talking about winning in 10.85, ahead of 9.90, that really isn't as close as you would think.

Think about it.

Oblique Saville's 9.90 was closer to Christian Coleman's 9.94 in fifth place than he was to Kenny B with 9.85 in first.

That kind of does highlight how Kenny did kind of gap the field.

Mm-hmm.

Um, a lot of credit to Christian Coleman working with him in practice throughout the year of just doing block starts next to one of the greatest [laughs] starters of all time.

Yeah.

And he, they just said, we, we heard it this afternoon, Kenny told us two days ago, we heard again today, "Start was on."

Okay.

Ooh, Kenny, Seville, Coleman.

Not mad at that.

Y'all sleeping on SMA.

He just ran this 9.99 at Brussels, right? He could pop off and run 9.79 or something crazy.

Marcel Jacobs could be like, yo, this is my Olympic final again, and he runs 9.80 or 9.79, right? Like, I don't know.

But, you know, Christian Coleman, I'm rooting for Christian Coleman, but, like, the Brussels wasn't great.

Brussels wasn't great.

Couldn't get the job done.

Christian Coleman and Lucky Kennedy.

Kennedy is going to be in the Ultimates as well.

He's had an exceptional season.

That's the African contingent.

The American contingent is what? Christian Coleman and Trayvon Bromell?

Yeah.

So-

And Trayvon's kind of come back and not been running quite so well since he's come back after paternity leave.

But you can forgive him for that a little bit, I guess.

Um, but yeah, Christian Coleman, I think, is, is, has been improving, so, uh, I think, you know, hopefully he, he can step it up a bit as well here.

Love that Belgium chose to insert one of their national wild cards in this one.

Linford Christie, he spoke to me just before I went out and got my bronze medal in Budapest.

I remember we just ran the semifinals and Christian Coleman from the USA had beaten me in the semifinals and he was bragging and he was like, yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.

And I'm like, bro, you just woke me up.

You don't know what you just did, man.

than me in the 60.

You know, the matchup that we never thought we would see, Noah Lyles versus Christian Coleman, and Noah Lyles win in the 60, and then run it back at world champs.

Like, what? If you had told

me in 2019 that you and Coleman would be locking up in the 60 meters and you have an opportunity a chance to win it i'll be like

I'm hoping, like, under six seconds.

Christian Coleman ran it in 4.12. That is, uh, the fastest anybody's ever done it.

Wow.

As far as NFL, 4.21 for Xavier Worthy.
