Christian Coleman Career

Career

Christian Coleman, a boy from Seth and Daphne Coleman of Atlanta, Georgia, grew up with two sisters, Camryn and Cailyn. He came from a sporting family, as two of his cousins were letter-winners in college football, and his older sister Camryn competed in track and field at Georgia Southern University. He began his track at a young age, winning the long jump in his age group at the Amateur Athletic Union Championships in 2007.

He attended high school at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic High School in Fayetteville, Georgia, where he was a member of his high school track team. He competed at the 2014 New Balance Nationals Outdoor championships in his senior year, finishing third in both the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash. He won the 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and the 4100 m relay at the Georgia High School State Championships, as well as establishing state high school records in the 100 m (10.38), 200 m (21.88), and the 4 x 100 m relay (41.88). In addition, he was an all-state high school football player as a defensive back and wide receiver. He finished 2014 with a 100 m fastest of 10.30 seconds. Coleman received the Fred R. Langley Athletic Scholarship and went on to attend the University of Tennessee.

Coleman, a 60 meters champion and 200 meters runner up at the 2016 SEC Indoor Track and Field Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee. He went on to win the 200 meters at the National Track and Field Indoor Championships and placed third in the 60 meters. At the 2016 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, he was the runner-up in both the 100 meters and 200 meters dash.

He continued his success into his junior season at Tennessee after coming off an excellent sophomore season and one that ended in his selection for the 2016 Olympic team. During his indoor campaign, he set PRs throughout the season, resulting in world best times in the 60 meters and 200 meters dash. Coleman won gold in both categories at the 2017 Indoor National Track and Field Championships in historic fashion. He ran 6.45 seconds in the 60 meters, tying the national record, and 20.11 seconds in the 200 meters, just 0.01 seconds off Wallace Spearmon's collegiate record. Christian ended his college career by winning the 100 meters in 10.04 seconds and the 200 meters in 20.25 seconds at the 2017 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Coleman has joined Justin Gatlin, a former Tennessee sprinter, as the only other individual to win the 60 meters and 200 meters indoor and 200 meters outdoor titles, as well as the 100 meters and 200 meters outdoor championships.

Coleman was given some notoriety after the 2017 NFL Draft scouting team assembled. In the 40-yard dash, John Ross set a new personal record of 4.22 seconds, boasting that he was faster than Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt. Coleman responded to this by running the 40 yards in 4.12 seconds on turf.

Coleman was Tennessee's first winner of The Bowerman in 2017, the highest honor given to collegiate track and field's most outstanding individual of the year.

Coleman qualified for both the 100 meters and 200 meters in the 2016 Olympic Trials. He broke the 10-second barrier for the first time in the 100 m semi-finals, finishing in 9.95 seconds. He was a little slower in the final, but he ended up sixth, which could have qualified him for the 4 100 m relay team. Coleman was named to the US 4 100 meters relay team on July 11, 2011 advance. Coleman ran the second leg for Team USA in the 4 100 meters relay qualifying at the Olympics, winning their heat in 37.65 seconds. Coleman was disqualified from the team that advanced to the finals.

Coleman's breakthrough on the international stage in 2017 would be Coleman's breakthrough. He turned pro after winning the 100 meters and 200 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, and signed a Nike deal. Coleman took second place in the 100 meters at the United States Championships in Sacramento, California, behind Justin Gatlin's 9.95 times. Coleman also competed in the 200 meters, finishing second, behind Ameer Webb.

Coleman took home gold in the 100 Meters final, behind Justin Gatlin and ahead of Usain Bolt in his final 100 meters run. He dropped out of the 200 meters race due to exhaustion. He also served as the anchor leg for the US 4 100 meters relay team at the championships, finishing second in 37.52 seconds, 0.05 seconds behind Great Britain.

Coleman set a world record of 6.37 seconds in the 60 meters at the Clemson Invitational in South Carolina, beating Maurice Greene's near-death record by two hundredths of a second. However, his time was not submitted for ratification by USA Track & Field due to the fact that neither supplying electronic starting blocks, which record reaction times in preventing false starts, nor a zero gun (AKA zero control) test, which ensures that the automatic clock-timing system's start and capture sequence are properly documented, neither did not pass as a world record. Coleman set a new record time in the 60 meters final on February 18, 2018, clocked in Albuquerque, New Mexico, one month later, defeating Maurice Greene's previously held record.

He went on to win the 60 meters world indoor championship at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Birmingham in a record time (previously held by Maurice Greene) of 6.37 seconds. The time is also the fastest indoor performance at sea level. It's his first gold medal at the major championships.

Coleman suffered with several setbacks at the start of the Outdoor season. He injured his hamstring in April while in preparation and lost his first two 100 meter races of the year. One at the Prefontaine Classic in a wind-aided 9.84 and the other at an IAAF Diamond League match in Rome in 10.06. Both losses were to Ronnie Baker, his coworker, who finished third behind him in the 2018 World Indoor Championships. Coleman dropped out of additional races in order to recover from his injuries after losing to Baker in Rome.

Coleman returned to the track in July after winning the 100m in Rabat, Morocco, in a close finish. He defeated Baker, Noah Lyles, and Mike Rodgers, who had all run 9.8 in Coleman's absence. Despite his good showing in form, he had more hamstring problems while preparing for the 100m at the London Müller Anniversary Games, and did not return to racing until mid-August. Coleman won the 100 meters in 9.94s in Birmingham, England, just beating home favorite Reece Prescod by 0.001 seconds.

Coleman ran into a 0.3 meter wind in Brussels, Belgium, in the men's 100 meters final, raising his personal record by three hundredths of a second. Coleman earned his first Diamond League trophy for his seventh fastest racer of all time (tied with Maurice Greene) in the event's history, as well as his first Diamond League trophy. The time was the fastest run in over the past three years.

Coleman cancelled the 2019 indoor season in order to be fully prepared for the long outdoor season ahead.

Coleman started his 2019 season with a 9.86s in the 100 meters at the IAAF Diamond League Championship in Shanghai, China. However, compatriot Noah Lyles, who finished in the same time, defeated him on the line. He then won the 100 meters in Oslo, Norway, in a world-record 9.85. In Ostrava, Czech Republic, he ran his first 200 meters in two years, finishing second behind Canada's Andre de Grasse in 19.97 seconds. Coleman finished second in a seasons best of 9.87 seconds at the Prefontaine Classic in 9.81 seconds, lowering his world record and defeating world champion Justin Gatlin.

Coleman was temporarily barred from participating in anti-doping whereabouts legislation in August 2019, owing to the fact that he had failed three drug tests in a 12-month period. This would have resulted in a two-year suspension from both the 2019 World Athletics Championships and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Coleman successfully appealed the decision on the grounds that a first failed test should be backdated to the first day of the testing period (April 1, 2018 in Coleman's case). As Coleman's third whereabouts disaster came on April 26, 2019, he had failed two tests in a 12-month period. The whereabouts of the failures, suspension, and subsequent successful appeal may have remained private, but the details had been leaked to the public ahead of the world championships.

Coleman won the final of the men's 100m at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar, on September 28, 2019, a personal record of 9.76 seconds. Coleman is the sixth fastest man in history, as well as the third fastest American in history. He subsequently pulled out of the 200m at the same time, preventing him from doing a sprint double.

Coleman decided to compete in the United States Indoor Championships in Albuquerque on the first day and set a world record of 6.48 seconds, despite slowing down before the finish line. He won his semi-final in a time of 6.51 seconds, barely slowed before the finish line, and then took the U.S. crown a few hours later in a world-best 6.37 s, his second fastest time in world history and 0.12 seconds ahead of second place Marvin Bracy.

Coleman was provisionally banned from sport after a failed drug test dating back to December 9, 2019. Coleman had been barred until May 13, 2022, and the 2020 Summer Olympics were postponed, until October 27, 2022. He appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sports later.

Coleman's ban was reduced to 18 months on April 16, and it came to an end on November 13, 2021.
