Justin Gatlin has explained why he believes Kyree King has what it takes to be part of a USA 4 x 100m relay team that could dominate the world championships alongside Christian Coleman and Noah Lyles.
American sprint legend Justin Gatlin has explained why rising sprint star Kyree King could be the man to help team USA return to the heights of 4 by 100m running following nearly 20 years of struggles in the event.
Kyrie King is expected to help Team USA in their 4x100m relay ambitions at the upcoming World Athletics Relays in China.
Speaking on his Ready Set Go podcast alongside regular co-host Rodney Green, Gatlin said he has always appreciated King’s approach, describing it as the kind of competitive fire Team USA needs.

'I Don't Know What He's Become' – Harambee Stars Coach Benni McCarthy Breaks Silence on Jose Mourinho
Benni McCarthy has shared mixed feelings about the changes he sees in Jose Mourinho.
"I like Kyrie’s energy — always have — because he’s always extra," Gatlin noted. "It’s that extra of like, ‘Nah, you ain’t going to beat me on this third leg. You going to have to run up out your skin to beat me.’"
Gatlin praises Kyree King's third-leg excecution at Tom Jones

Gatlin highlighted that King is beginning to truly own the curve, a crucial part of the third leg, and pointed to a recent head-to-head against Eriiyon Knighton at the Tom Jones invitational and he ran an impressive turn, but King refused to back down. "Kyrie didn’t lay down," Gatlin emphasized.
Beyond raw speed, Gatlin stressed that relays demand a different mindset compared to individual events. While everyone naturally wants to shine solo, Gatlin said, there’s also a deeper "calling" when it comes to the 4x100m. "You know where you fit," he said. "And Kyrie is comfortable with that third leg."

'I Just Go Ahead and Take It Easy' – Ferdinand Omanyala Reacts After Close Fight with Akani Simbine in China
Africa's fastest man has shared his reaction after a tense 100m battle with Akani Simbine at the Diamond League opener.
“In a highly competitive Team USA relay pool, versatility is prized — athletes want to be able to say, "Put me anywhere, coach, I can get it done." But specialization can be just as valuable.
Gatlin pointed out that Christian Coleman is well-established on the front end of the relay, while King is staking his claim for the third leg.
"You don’t know what the final combination will be going into the World Championships," Gatlin admitted, "but it’s clear everyone is jockeying for position and getting ready."
On his end, Rodney Green touched on the unique challenges of assembling a successful U.S. 4x100m squad, despite the country's deep sprinting talent.

5 Bitter Lessons from Junior Starlets' Failure to Qualify for 2025 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup
Kenya fell short against Cameroon in a tough qualifier, missing out on a second straight U17 World Cup appearance.
"The USA 4x1 is one of the most difficult things to navigate through," he said. "You guys have the most talent — always have — but you have to wait to see who makes the relay pool after USA’s."
He explained that even athletes who help Team USA post blazing times early in the season — like a 37.60-second performance — aren’t guaranteed a spot if they don’t perform well at nationals. "Coming to the end of the season, if they don’t make the finals of the 100 or anything like that, could they be pulled? You don’t even know. I don’t even know how that works," Gatlin admitted.
The team will also see Noah Lyles take up his usual anchoring role, having missed out on the chance at the Paris Olympics after suffering a bout of COVID-19.
As the World Championships approach, it’s clear that competition within the U.S. squad will be just as fierce as anything they’ll face on the track.
