Fred Kerley is an American sprinter and one of the fastest men in history, transitioning from the 400m to the 100m and 200m with remarkable success. He won the 100m silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics before claiming the world title in 2022. His combination of explosive power, exceptional acceleration, and competitive instinct have made him one of the dominant sprinters of the post-Bolt era. Kerley won the 2022 World Championship 100m title in Eugene, becoming one of the rare athletes to have run under 44 seconds for 400m and 9.8 for 100m, before injuries and a switch of focus disrupted his season through the mid-2020s.
