ATHLETICS Fred Kerley claps back at netizen who thinks he lacks charisma off the track
Fred Kerley has shut down an angry X (Twitter) user who was comparing his personality to that of Noah Lyles.
Speaking about the partnership with Yahoo, the two-time World 200m champion said: “To be honest, I'm an energetic guy. So, it only makes sense that I partner up with Celsius.
“And I mean, they said that they wanted to get into the Olympic space. And they wanted to get into track and field. And they felt that they needed the world's fastest man.
“And that's my title, the world's fastest man. So again, if they want to get into it and they want to get into it hard, if we align with the same goals, I feel that it's a beautiful partnership.
“We have that idea of wanting to chase dreams, reach for the stars. And I mean, come on. Everybody wants to be the world's fastest man.”

ATHLETICS AIU's request for tougher testing for four federations approved by World Athletics
World Athletics has approved the Athletics Integrity Unit's request for tougher testing for four federations ahead of the Olympic Games.
Lyles also extended a hand of gratitude to USTAF for giving him the opportunity, despite it being a last-minute decision for him to run.
“But I think I'll take the words of somebody who is a previous Olympian and has run on many relays themselves.
“They said, no spot is deserved on the relay. No spot is safe. Everybody has to prove their worth. And I was no different. They took a chance on me.

ATHLETICS Noah Lyles lists three crucial lessons track & field has taught him
Triple World champion Noah Lyles has opened up about the three things track and field has taught him since he turned professional in 2016.
“I felt that this was the meet where it was the lowest risk, but it was the highest stake situation for them to say, this is uncomfortable enough for him to be in a place where he's going to be put pressure on him, but also where, if we lose, we'll be OK. We'll know we can't use him again.
“Did I know I was going to run? Not until a few hours before the finals. But I was committed to the idea that, no matter what, I'm going to show you I'm available. If you want to write the script, then you have to be marketable, and you have to be winning,” he added.
