He ain't no Usain Bolt but he did it
Well Usain Bolt was no Jesse Owens. Bolt ran out of starting blocks on a specially designed track using specially designed shoes. Owens ran in football cleats on cinders and ash and he didn't have starting blocks. Owens was ridiculously fast.

Odd one ain't it. Gatlin coleman kerley tyson gay won at the world champs during that gap.
Olympic pressure is something else, at least Gatlin and Tyson Gay had to deal with a prime Bolt, but Coleman keep missing the Olympics due to his own doing.

Kerley winning silver in 2021 and bronze today is good, but you know he pissed about just missing out on Gold too

The Arsenal
The athletic ones are in America lmaoo
they aren't doing shyt like that in america either. look at them in soccer a sport they are obsessive about. they're mid in mexico and america. don't matter where they're raised. just aren't great athletes it seems, so that's why they go home and be family men.
