FRED KERLEY DOES NOT ADVANCE

Major choke job by Fred and Lewis

Was over the moon when he failed to advance..

The abracadabra, pride and tough talking from him amounted to nothing...

Who will teach these athletes to keep quiet and let their wins do the talking???

I bet this won't happen at the Olympics!

Fred Kerley obviously had some injury issues because he started the season really well and took some major scalps before starting to decline a bit, going the wrong way prior to World's. Anyone can see that he is a serious man who doesn't take any crap from anyone, so Lewis should have known what he was getting into. I expect that he will come back 100% next year and win gold again. Lyles impressed me with his improved start and acceleration in the semis especially, and finals, and he did run 9.83 with no wind, but still he'll have to drop a tenth next year to beat Kerley at 100% with even more of a chip on his shoulder.

Needs to be said: Kerley is turning into a prima donna. Not a shocker, many sprinters are. Lyles' personality is the equivalent of a drag show. Bracy, Colemen, Brommel...... super chilled dudes. Respect.

That said, I like how Kerley races and his story, as a 400m man, is epic. He needs to run rounds hard for a reason. The bummer is, he is talented enough to make the final and win again but prima donna said no, just breeze it, I gotz this...

My bad if he is injured or something else...

Anyone know if his injury earlier this year to his right quad?

Yea, he's terrible. Idk if he just does what he's told or what....but he seems to have ZERO EQ. The worst was when they decided to have him interview Ben True's wife at the trials as Ben True was falling out of the top 3 with 100m to go in the 5K.
