Awesome.  I wanted to watch it, but apparently it wasn't on TV? :confused:

Coleman is going to be one of the stars of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

Amazing finish.  Bolt has always been a slow starter, but he's always overcome it with a strong finish.  It wasn't quite enough today. 

In 2020, Coleman should be a favorite for 3 golds: the 100, 200, and 4x100 relay.

Is Coleman still in school? If so, put him on the football team at WR and let him run the fly pattern.

He just turned pro after the Spring term.

Fantastic.  Returning to some of our 80s glory in Track and Field.   :clap:
