Coleman, who missed the delayed 2020 Olympics in Tokyo after being banned for 18 months, has revealed why he thinks the 2024 Olympics in Paris will be the greatest of all time.

World Indoor 60m champion Christian Coleman has explained why he feels the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris, France will be the best there ever has been.

In a recent statement, Coleman shared his excitement and explained why he believes this edition of the Olympics will surpass its predecessors.

“I feel like it is a special year, 2024 just to have that opportunity out there on the horizon knowing that this Olympics is going to be like the biggest ever,” Coleman said.

He acknowledged the challenges of the previous Olympics, emphasizing the impact of Covid-19, which led to a lack of spectators. 

Coleman anticipates that the 2024 Olympics in Paris will be particularly special due to the potential for a vibrant atmosphere with the presence of fans.

“It’s pretty cliche, I guess it continues like this every single time but I feel like this will be extra special just because last time there were no fans, there was covid and everything.

France as the host nation adds another layer of significance to the event. Coleman highlighted the unique nature of the destination, describing it as a "destination city within itself."

“I look forward to the opportunity of getting there first and I feel like I am in the best place I have ever been so I am looking forward to it.”

Meanwhile, the American, who has previously served an 18-month ban for using banned substances has also revealed the secret to his fast start

“You got to put those 10,000 hours in. Get the reps in time and time again. I put in a lot of work in the weight room and the video room. I don’t know what the secret is, you’ll have to ask God,” he said as quoted on the Guardian.
