Kerley, Norman, and Lyles are fan favorites who want to see them compete in several categories of events at the USATF. They remember how these three earned sweeping victories in the World Athletics Championships held last year. Fred Kerley and Michael Norman won the 100m and 200m dash, respectively, while superstar sprinter Noah Lyles finished first in the 400 m dash.

Both Noah Lyles and Fred Kerley, the “World Champion” title holders, recently announced their participation in the same 200m race. Ace sprinter Michael Norman will take part in the 100 m dash against fellow World Champions Christian Coleman, Marvin Bracy-Williams, and Kenny Bednarek. This has sparked some excitement among fans, while others are still dejected at the limited line-up.

In a tweet, a fan also broached the issue, and the controversy has been brewing since then. Someone commented, expressing his disappointment, saying, ?Now Norman isn?t running the 100m anymore?? It is quite clear that fans want to see their star athletes participate in multiple events. The question is will they get what they demand?
