Two Olympic and two world golds, one each in individual events. He’s 27, so his best might well be yet to come.
He deserves more applause than he seems to get on this website and a MF as his middle name. Remember, everyone’s just as innocent or guilty until proven otherwise.

First off he is the greatest Italian sprinter ever at 100m, he also holds the European 100m record and that Olympic 100m gold and now this World 60 title, pretty impressive guy. I don't play that silly "is he clean" BS that is for losers. Unless he gets busted he is 100% clean, which how it should be.
I got no problems putting him up among the true greats he deserves the props.
I'm not trying to antagonistic or sarcastic. At this point I'm genuinely curious how one in his mid to late twenties can peel massive time off their already seasoned and sub elite sprinting times, all within a year. He's not the only I've seen do it lately. These massive spikes in progressions, leads me to think that maybe there's a method to coaching which can slice up to three tenths off a 10 second 100 meter. Which to me warrants more attention than the actual athlete in question.

You have any idea at all how many times sprinters have ran times totally alien to anything previous, that has been going on forever, nothing new or unusual about it at all.
Xavier Carter had never broke 20.00, BOOM 19,63 and I can go on and on and on.....
Michael Johnson had never broke 19.6, BOOM.....19,32.
Ever hear of 100 World Record holders....Roscoe Cook, Oliver Ford, Willie Turner?
Dude, where is any proof of any kind this guy is some cheater, well? And he is an Italian citizen that is all that matters, not unlike Donovan Bailey a Canadian and Linford Christie GB, both born in Jamaica.

Mr. Psych 3 hours ago The sprint model here is exceptional; he is the most technically sound sprinter I've seen. His hips are in the perfect spot from the jump, and sets up his entire race beautifully;
Two Olympic and two world golds, one each in individual events.
I agree. It is beautiful to watch him execute and race. Can't wait to see him in Eugene.
Not to nitpick, but I personally wouldn't count his World Relays 4x1 win as a "world gold"? World Relays is like Continental Cup - sure it's impressive but it's not the olympics or worlds. Even with just his two olympic golds and world indoor gold he's got quite the resume. It will be interesting to see if he improves at the 200 (20.61 current PB). It's been a little while since there's been a "100m specialist" - perhaps since the late 90s early 00s with (doper) Tim Montgomery.

Perhaps but this is the year of Jaylen Slade and Erriyon Knighton
