Why Justin Gatlin is not too worried about Fred Kerley & Christian Coleman's slow outdoor season starts
Kerley and Coleman were unable to run sub-10 100m races at Xiamen and Suzhou Diamond League meetings but ex-American sprinter Justin Gatlin is backing them to come good.
“However, if the team wants me to step in, I’m going to step in but there is uncertainty about it until the Olympic Games,” the World 200m bronze medallist said.
At the Prefontaine Classic, he will not have an easy run as he seeks to extend his winning streak after starting the season on a high. Tebogo broke the 300m world record in his season opener before setting the 400m Personal Best time at the ASA Grand Prix.
He will be up against Erryon Knighton, and Kenny Bednarek. Knighton took silver in the 200m at last year’s World Championships. Bednarek claimed Olympic silver in 2021 and followed it with world silver in 2022 and he will be hoping to build up on his win at the Kip Keino Classic where he silenced two-time champion Ferdinand Omanyala.
