Fred Kerley throwing shade on Marcell Jacobs 😮‍💨 Anson – What do you think of Marcell’s performance at Europeans? Fred laughs “At the end of the day, Indoor is indoor.

Kerley was however not the only athlete to publicly share his frank opinion on Jacobs. An Olympic gold medalist once shared how Jacobs is on shaky ground professionally as an athlete despite winning the 100m race in the Olympics after Usain Bolt. MICHAEL JOHNSON DESCRIBES POTENTIAL PITFALLS FOR MARCELL JACOBS Reacting to Matt Lawson’s news in 2021 that Jacobs wouldn’t be running that year, Johnson gave his intriguing opinion. “His title is well deserved but a bit tenuous due to no track record of consistent world beating performances.” This hinted at his veiled criticism of Jacobs who doesn’t have too many records in his name. However, this is not all. 

Olympic champion who won the 100m race after Usain Bolt and created a new record
gives a strong reply to Fred Kerley's criticism.

Like the previous years, the Paris Olympics in 2024 will not be an exception. The game will include a number of new elements. However, this year, the inclusion of breaking as an official sport at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant moment in recognizing urban dance culture within the global sports community.Â 

Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression.

However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity.

With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ. This fusion of music, movement, and competition embodies the spirit of Breaking, celebrating its roots in hip-hop culture while embracing its evolution as a recognized sport.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympics 2024 logo</h2>
The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos.Â 

The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic).Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named "Olympic Phryg," inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named "Les Phryges" will represent the Olympics as mascots.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games.

The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit.Â 

After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame.Â 

Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world's attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to get tickets for Paris Olympics 2024Â Â </h2>
Paris Olympics 2024 tickets are on sale to everyone worldwide. However, they are sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Anyone can buy the tickets through the official Paris 2024 website. Many sessions are already sold out, as people are crazy to be part of this prestigious Olympics and want to see their admiring champions competing.Â 

But there is nothing to worry about. New batches of tickets are regularly added so everyone can get the chance. However, the prices start at 24 euros (Â£21) for the Olympic events and 15 euros (Â£13) for the Paralympic games.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics</h2>
Though the Paris Olympics will go from July 26-Aug to 11, 2024, but the Opening Ceremony for the games will take place on July 26. There will be various events such as handball, rugby, soccer, and archery starting on July 24 and 25.

NBC and Peacock will broadcast live Olympic events, including finals in track, field, swimming, and gymnastics, both morning and afternoon. NBC will provide nine hours of daily daytime coverage. Also, there will be an enhanced three-hour primetime show in every night during the games. These will feature behind-the-scenes access, new technology, and athlete insights.

The world of athletics has a new star in Fred Kerley.

He also shares a unique record of being one of three athletes to clock sub10 in 100, sub20 in 200, and sub44 seconds in the 400-meters competitions.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-894518" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/fred-kerley.png" alt="" width="1268" height="847" />

The net worth of Kerley is estimated to be around $5 million, though the exact figure is not known. His earnings are a result of prize money from his wins and his brand endorsements. Fred Kerley has endorsements deals with Nike,
PACE (a sports management and marketing company) and CXP. In 2023, the sprinter signed a brand deal with the leading footwear brand, ASICS.
<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Early life</h3>
Born on May 7th, 1995, the Texas man was brought up in tough conditions. He was <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.wiki.ng/en/wiki/meet-fred-kerley-father-and-mother-where-are-his-parents-from-2-680374">born</a> to Ricky Kerley and Virginia Kerley, who was later adopted by his aunt, Virginia. He had two brothers and two sisters. As the siblings were about to split up, his aunt took care of all of them and helped them grow. Kerley has great respect for his aunt and remains the most influential person in his life. Hailing from a sporting family, Kerley's brother Jeremy Kerley, played wide receiver for the NFL side, New York Jets.
<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Fred Kerley's Career</h3>
The famous athlete attended Taylor High School after which he attended Southern Plains College. Later on, he got transferred to Texas A&amp;M. He tried to get selected for the 2016 US Olympic team but did not make the team. After that, he won the 400-meter NCAA Division I Championships. With that, he started gaining confidence and represented the USA at the 2017 World Championships. There he helped the relay team to win a silver medal at the 4 × 400-meter relay competition. That was followed by a 400-meters victory at the Diamond League in 2018.

His career skyrocketed from there as he started winning different races. Yet again, he appeared for his country at the 2019 World Championships in Doha as he took home the gold medal for the 4 × 400-meter competition, this time around. Success followed from there as he shifted his focus from the 400 meters to the 100 meters. On May 19, 2021, Kerley defeated Justin Gatlin at the Golden Spike in Ostrava, to win the race. He also ran the 200 meters and placed second.

The breakthrough in his career came at the US Olympic Trials for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. He posted a time of 19.90, recording 19.90 to join the company of Wayde van Niekerk and Michael Norman. These three men have sub10 seconds in 100, sub20 in 200, and sub44 in the 400-meter race.
