'It Was on Them' - Christian Coleman Explains How Team USA Ended Relay Woes

Team USA’s men’s 4x100m relay has struggled to make a mark due to faulty baton exchanges, but that is now history following their impressive run at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan.

The quartet of reigning Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles, former world champion Christian Coleman, two-time Olympic silver medallist Kenny Bednarek and Courtney Lindsey stole the show in the final of the men’s 4x100m at the global showpiece.

If anything, it seems like the curse has been transferred to Jamaica, who were eliminated due to a poor baton exchange that saw Kishane Thompson fail to run.

In the final, Noah Lyles anchored Team USA to a dominant win in a world lead ahead of Team Canada, anchored by Andre De Grasse. Team Netherlands finished third in the race.

Christian Coleman has shared the secret that led to Team USA’s dominance, especially after their poor display at the Paris Olympic Games.

Coleman bragged about Team USA being the fastest in the world and that they were not scared of any teams that they were up against.

He insisted that they have been working around the clock to sharpen a series of things and lining up for the final, each of them was confident of nothing short of a win.

“I mean, you know, like I told y'all yesterday, I feel like we got the job done. We knew we were going to make the proper adjustments and come out here, and I felt like we had the best team, so we were really confident in the chemistry that we had, and all the work we've been putting in,” Christian Coleman said in an interview with Citius Mag.

“Like Courtney said, we are the fastest, so I felt as if the pressure wasn't really on us, it was on them, and I feel good about it. We did our thing and finished it off.”

With Noah Lyles anchoring and Christian Coleman leading the charge, Team USA proved their relay woes are firmly behind them, reclaiming dominance on the global stage while leaving rivals to pick up the pieces.
