Christian Coleman has been performing exceptionally after his comeback last year. Coleman, who is one of the fastest sprinters in the world, has registered another splendid victory to his medal tally to begin in 2023. The American sprinter exhibited a marvelous show at the Miramar Invitational to win the gold in the 200m sprint. The Twitter handle named oluwadare, who is a track and field gazette, tweeted the mind-blowing results of the race as he congratulated the champion.

After the remarkable triumph by Sha’Carri Richardson in 100m, Coleman continued the dominance of American sprinters in the Miramar Invitational 2023. In an extremely close race, Coleman marginally got ahead of Letsile Tebogo to win the race.

Christian Coleman won by a hair’s breadth

Despite the setback in his career, Coleman came back with a fabulous performance in the Millrose Games last year. While maintaining his form, he has got his eye fixed on the Paris Olympics. And for that, he has made a fabulous start to the 2023 season with a mind-blowing 20.00s finish in the 200m sprint. 

As oluwadare posted, Coleman registered as “World Lead” with 20.00s but just with a difference of 0.003s. The runner-up, Tebogo, missed out on the winning chances by an extremely close margin. Further, the third position was recorded by another American sprinter, Kenny Bednarek, with a timing of 20.37s. 

The two-time World Champion was in excellent form and was one of the biggest contenders for medals in the Tokyo Olympics. However, the 18 months ban ruined his chances of claiming a medal in the Tokyo Olympics. However, he missed the chance last time. With his current form, he is looking like a big contender for the Paris Olympics in 2024.

Two of the best current athletes in America have gone through something similar in their careers in the past. However, they have come back even stronger after the setback in their lives. Let us have a look at the comeback race of Christian Coleman after his 18-month-long ban. 

Christian Coleman redeemed himself as soon as he came back

Coleman was banned for two years (which was shortened to 18 months later), for being wronged by his indiscipline. The American sprinter had violated the World Anti-Doping Agency code of getting drug tests three times a year. After staying out of the sport for 18 months, he came back to compete in January last year and was so less than a re-birth of the champion. Coleman won the comeback race at the 114th Millrose Games in 2022 in 6.49s in the 60m sprint.

The World Indoor Record holder for the 60m sprint defeated Trevon Bromell, who finished the race in 6.50s. Despite being nervous about his comeback race, Coleman showed why he was called one of the fastest human beings before he was banned. Further, he continues to prove his speed with every race, just he like he did once again at the Miramar Invitational.

Looking at his current performance, Coleman looks extremely competent for the upcoming Paris Olympics. With a great start to the 2023 season, he will be looking to book their slots in the Olympic team for America. What do you think about his chances in the upcoming Olympics?
