The kids the next Bolt! Don't know if he will get the WRs but damn he is so similar in body type as well. Are coaches going to be scouting for this?

Did it turn out to be one of those "I'll start from anywhere I want" 200m races like Noah Lyles' 18.90 back in 2020?
Or is it for real?

18 to be exact, all year...

Surprised, but not stunned. Last year showed the kid is going to be something truly special

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Such a huge improvement as well - .35 sec on an already great mark. I think he is going places

[NotDutra5]

Not sure why this would be surprising. Yeah it's quick but I've felt this kid has been underdeveloped since he started....which wasn't long ago. Anyone dismissing him (8th????) in the 100m is doing so at their own peril as well.

[Atticus]

Well . . . THAT changes everything!

Agree. He may not get Coleman this year, but I'm calling it now - double gold in Paris
