The story began on the banks of the Danube during the 2023 World Athletics Championships. While we wait to see if Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman’s rumored hook-up will bloom on the banks of the Seine, the journey starts very differently for each of them. Sha’Carri will land in Paris as the brightest hope for the USA in 100m. But Coleman, chasing double sprints, could not even enter the national squad. The debacle seemed to have led him to make some changes. And that once again took him towards Sha’Carri Richardson!
In a July 9 X post, Track Spice reported that Christian Coleman was spotted training with Dennis Mitchell at the Star Athletics Track Club. Yes, you got that right! That is where Sha’Carri Richardson also trains. But that was not all. Soon anticipations started flying that Coleman might have split with his longtime coach, Tim Hall.
Hall has been with Coleman since his collegiate days at Tennessee. All of Coleman’s Jaw-dropping races have come under the aegis of Hall. At 28, Coleman’s Personal Best (PB) in the 100m is 9.76 seconds, clocked during his gold-winning run at the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha. That made him the sixth fastest man in history. Coleman holds the world record in the 60m with a time of 6.34 seconds along with multiple NCAA titles. In fact, he had shown a strong belief in Hall before the trials.
