He's actually a decent lad and good for the sport. Pissed off a lot of Americans because he didnt like that they call themselves world champions for winning national leagues.
He's the personality successor to Bolt.

There used to be track event experts who said it was impossible to run a sub 4 minute mile.There are some track event experts interested in impacts of climate change on peak human performance that believe that if we continue to have the events outdoors in the middle of summer where the games are being hosted (and continue to disallow PED and PEC) that we may have already hit the fastest times.
That sounded an unbelievable stat so I just checked it bronze in 2012 was 9.79 same time as the first 2 and 7 beat or equalled the 4th time in 2012 of 9.88.None would’ve even made the top four in 2012.

These are slightly different than the “experts” through the 1950s. ;-)There used to be track event experts who said it was impossible to run a sub 4 minute mile.
He's been fairly open about struggles with depression and mental health as well - always good to see an athlete speak up and bring awareness to thatHe's actually a decent lad and good for the sport.
