The 29-year-old experienced numerous hurdles, including severe criticism, leading up to the Paris Olympics. However, he defied them all to win the bronze medal in the men’s 100-meter sprint final.
The 100-meter race was a contested event at the Olympic Games since all of the athletes were so close to crossing the finish line. While Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson crossed the finish line at the same time (9.79 seconds), Kerley finished just behind them (9.81 seconds).
However, it was not an effortless task for the bronze medalist, as Akani Simbine, who finished fourth, was only 0.01 seconds behind him. The entire tournament demonstrated the unpredictability of huge events like the Olympic Games, and it further fueled the excitement for the remainder of the 2024 season.
