Christian Coleman cemented his status as the world’s fastest man and the Olympic favorite, winning his first world 100m title in Doha on Saturday night.
Coleman ran away from the field in 9.76 seconds, a personal best to make him the sixth-fastest man in history. He prevailed by .13 of a second over countryman Justin Gatlin in a reversal of their finish at the last worlds in 2017. Canadian Andre De Grasse took bronze in 9.90.
The U.S. won another gold medal Saturday — its first world medal of any color in the hammer throw.
