Christian Coleman Reveals His Olympic Year Mindset 174 Days Ahead of Paris 2024

Christian Coleman’s thunderous speed is hard to match. Only Noah Lyles, his fellow US track and field star, has been at his shoulder level since recently. The world’s no. 1 ranked in 100m for the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons has not only upped fan expectations but also reignited the Olympic flame in his heart. Missing the 2020 Summer Olympics in the wake of a drug test controversy was undesirable, but is he hinting at an intense combat in Paris?

On February 11, the world is about to watch Coleman in action, vying for his 3rd 60m title at the Millrose Games. But his journey will only culminate on his Paris entry in July. Giving a peek at his weight training session now and then, what is he focusing on more?

Christian Coleman focuses on mental more than physical

Going candid with CITIUS MAG for the YouTube episode named “Christian Coleman Talks About Training Before 60m At The 2024 Millrose Games“, the 27-year-old offered a glimpse of his Olympic mindset. When asked, “What’s kind of the mindset as we look towards hopefully Paris this year?”, Coleman didn’t shy away from unveiling the formula that needed to be kept inside the closet. The reason is, that he knows ‘he’s one of the best in the world’ and it’s tough to knock him out. Said, “I think for me uh I think for me it’s always just been like more mental than physical I feel as if, I know the physical part is going to be hard. It’s going to continue to unfold and happen exactly how it’s supposed to”.

Having full faith in his physical strength and muscle power, Christian Coleman is about sporting a “no fear” attitude. If his health is on point, he wouldn’t restrict himself from pushing limits till he finishes on top. Before the February event ushers in, let’s learn about his take on indoor games.

Coleman likes to ‘build off’ ahead of the outdoors

He said to CITIUS MAG, “I think anytime you have an opportunity to compete at a high level against the best guys in the world, you want to get out there you want to set the tone”. Further saying, “Me and my coach have always been able to put together a good plan in terms of training”.

But what he said later showed what a smart athlete he is. “I feel like I’ll definitely be able to like just Build Off This indoor season and be able to take it to another level come outdoors”, was what he conceded with. Prepping for Paris through indoor events hopefully bears fruits. Alongside popular names like Lyles, we’re eager to see all of them lock horns.
