116th Millrose Games | Men's 60m

let's go back to that straightway and now setting the stage for this Prevagen men's 60 M Auto you can't discuss greatest starters of all time without mentioning the guy on your screen here the top three times ever in the distance and pretty much solidified the fact that he is the best ever at this 60 M indoor distance caught up with Christian yesterday he said he was very excited that his parents are both here from Geor jth and Daphne Coleman so they're watching along and you know there's some other people watching along as well maybe not even in the venue no he's watching and that's because he has the world lead 644 from last week in Boston and he knows that he's going to have to face Christian Coleman next week at us indoors to pick the team to World indoors so Noah's at home watching and we will watch along with Noah as you get a look now at the Olympic rain 200 met Champion Andre degrass we don't think he's necessarily going to be a factor here but he's working on the weaker part of his race and that is the acceleration his personal best is only 660 I think that Coleman's Chief opposition is going to be AEM Blake who was out leaned by Noah ly last week in Boston for that 60m win he's already run 645 behind Noah 644 so this is Christian's indoor 60 debut he has run already a 200 M where he ran [Applause] 20.67% I saw F start on the outside way on the outside I think that could be JT Smith in nine and his hands above his head probably making him look a little bit more guilty than he wants to right now yeah this is when you stop making any eye contact with any official as they'll check the oh we had a f start last year as well it was Noah ly who fall started and then ran under protest look to the left of your screen in nine that's JT Smith in the red and blue way out here and he definitely had a pretty distinct movement before the gun he was the US indoor champion last year while he was still in college a senior at Texas A&M Commerce given a reprieve yep he was told to come up and hold steadily at set and he will get another shot looking forward to that head-to-head match up next week in Albuquerque which quite honestly is the sight of that world Rec record back in 2018 for Coleman it's at altitude which means the sprint times are going to be aided so I think you have to look forward to that you have to look forward to the hurdles cuz men and women it's always competitive in the United States World indoors will be good as well World indoors in early March in glasgo Scotland us indoor championships next weekend in Albuquerque we'll have that coverage for you next Saturday here on NBC back in the blocks for the second attempt at the start of the men's 60 M and this time they're underway cleanly not a terribly good start for Coleman trying to get that top end speed and recovers enough to take the win in 651 hey that is not a bad opener 651 for Coleman the former World indoor champion and 29 1800 M world champion he seemed to me to be very casual certainly in the last 20 and as is normal he's fourth from the right as is his usual he gets all of the lead that he'll need to win the race in the first part because of his great reaction to the gun and his acceleration away from the field yeah he did not look like he was pressing that much going across the line so The Showdown is set right no allow says he wants all the titles he has the 100 he has the 200 Outdoors he wants the 60 indoors he's got to go through Coleman to get it let's check in with Christian Coleman with leis Johnson all right Christian you watched the race you came across your first initial reaction your thoughts about what happened uh I was just happy to win really I thought yeah I mean it's a world class field you know guys been running fast so anytime you able to get a a w you know you take it um but looking at it I feel like I could have did some better things but we'll clean it up and be ready next weekend all right we're all looking forward to the matchup in Albuquerque next week us indoor championships you and noes against the clock what are your thoughts on that as you come off this race uh I'm looking forward to it too that's it yeah that's it all right we'll see you there thanks yes sir I appreciate you Louis okay we know the match up is coming Paul it is
