"Where on earth are Coleman and Kerley?"; "Strongly Waiting for the Clash"- Fans react to the provisional USA team for the World Athletics Relays 2024

Athletics fans recently reacted to the provisional USA Squad for the upcoming World Athletics Relays ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics in Paris.

The 2024 World Athletics Relays are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5, at the Thomas Robinson Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas. The Relays, held for two days on the island state, will serve as an opportunity for the 32 teams to book their tickets for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The USATF recently announced the roster for the men's 4x100m relay event, which includes the three-peat world champion Noah Lyles, Tokyo Olympic silver medalist Kenny Bednarek, Courtney Lindsey, and 2022 NCAA 4x100m relay champion Kyree King.

Noticing the absence of the 2023 World Athletics Championships 4x100m relay champions Christian Coleman and Fred Kerley, fans expressed their disappointment and concern over the team as one of the fans questioned,

"Where on earth are Coleman and Kerley?"
