That was INSANE!
Men's 100 Final on now! Fred Kerley Lane 5
Absolutely, I'm happy I got to see that! That record will stand a long long time unless she breaks it! A crazy jump!
Double Olympic Gold in the men's high jump! They agree to not attempt a jump off and share the gold!
IM SO NERVOUS
AGGIE FRED KERLEY WINS SILVER IN THE MENS 100 METER DASH AT THE TOKYO OLYMPICS IN 9.84 SECONDS!!
LETSSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOO
HE SHUT ALL THE DOUBTERS UP
HELL OF A RACE FRED!
Got a great start, thought he had the gold. Was not expecting an Italian to win
Awesome race by Fred! So happy for him!
40 meters in I thought he had it, but after everyone laughing at him and writing him off for choosing to run the 100! It's amazing to see him on the podium!
I know he's a little disappointed inside but he looks pretty pleased and he should be. That was awesome
FRED MF'N KERLEY
Yes he looks dissapointed but I bet all of Taylor, Texas and Aggieland is jumping with glee

That was an insane jump.
Amazing, and with all three medals personal bests. That exceeded expectations! Congrats Fred! Was cracking up at the commentator. If you can be famous for running a 100 meters, why would you run 400?
You know you're a gamer when you run a PB in the Olympic finals. All of this after he wasn't even supposed to make the Olympics.
Also that was the best start I've seen from Fred.

I will never trust results from China or Russia. Ever.
US probably has the most rigorous administration of testing in the world. There will be cheaters in the US as long as there is money there, but let me know when the government helps cheat.

A big deal for Kerley to medal in the 100 and let alone get silver is amazing. None of the track experts and commentators were talking about Fred in the US Olympic trials to possible make it or even place.
Fred constantly improved and got a personal best in the final is all you can ask for. Amazing to go from a 400 runner to an all out sprinter in the 100. Congrats.

Just saw an article talking about he is one of only three people to run a sub 10 s in 100m, sub 20 in 200, and sub 44 in 400.

And one of those other two? Dave Elmendorf

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I assume that's a joke, but just in case....the other two are Michael Norman and Wayde van Niekerk.DannyDuberstein said:Bonzer103 said:

Wow. So we need to go back to a tome before nearly any athletes were born and before the testing infrastructure that currently exists was in place to criticize the US enforcement agency dealing with doping. I'll take your word since I was 2 years old.
go click Fred's Instagram post and see all the props and comments he's getting from other track athletes from around the world. It's a tight knit group those T&F athletes and they all respect the hell outta each other.
