Christian Coleman on how starting to train under his rumored girlfriend Sha'Carri Richardson's coach has helped him
Coleman changed coaches after missing out on qualifying for the Olympic games in both the 100 and 200m races.
After a disappointing Olympic campaign where he faced a disqualification in the men’s 4×100-meter relay and failed to qualify for the 100-meter individual race at the US Olympic Trials, Coleman’s journey back to the track was fraught with introspection and transformation.
"I felt a little rusty. Just because I mean, I haven’t ran open 100 since trials, and you know what I mean, changing a lot in my personal life, my training, and everything. So, I feel good for coming back," Coleman shared in an emotional interview with Citius Mag.
Despite not securing a spot in the Olympic team, Coleman's popularity and fan base have remained strong, buoyed by memories of his previous victories and his well-known speed.

The 28-year-old athlete expressed gratitude for the support he received during his time away from the spotlight, which helped him refocus and return with renewed vigor.

In the wake of his trials, Coleman parted ways with Tim Hall, his long-time coach from his college days, and began working with Dennis Mitchell.
This coaching change was another step in his quest to regain his top form. Coleman credited Mitchell for his recent performance and highlighted the positive impact of their collaboration.
