One of the true highlights of the World Indoors in Birmingham was watching Christian Coleman run through his first round, semi final, and then, running his fine final, to take gold in the World Indoor 60 meters, and set a Championship record at 6.37!

The modified media interview area, titled, I Space was a good way to shake things up at a four day championship. We did this interview via Facebook Live and we observed Christian speaking about his craft.
Christian likes to speak with his running, but he is getting the hang of it, and gets comfortable with the media. A fine athlete and a modest man, we enjoyed speaking with Christian about his season and his pleasure at winning his first global title.
Congrats Christian !
Watch for our extended interview with Christian coming up!
