The 29-year-old has set his sight to next season in a bid to add more medals to his cabinet
Olympic 100m bronze medallist Fred Kerley is a fired up man after his Paris exploits as he aims for a better season next year.
The former world champion who has been vocal about his goals, is back to business after returning to training as he builds his fitness towards a make or break season if his X account hint can be believed.
Kerley is pictured training alongside his coach, and he tweeted “top of the mountain we going for”.
The 29-year-old, one of only three men along with Michael Norman and Wayde van Niekerk to go sub-10 seconds in 100m, sub-20 seconds in 200 m and sub-44 seconds in 400m, added: “I like to think that I was created for a special purpose. Greatness baby”.
Perhaps this is an indication that the American sprinter who has earned six medals at World Championships, is aiming for more success, especially after a turbulent year.
This season has been a mixed one for Fred Kerley who parted ways with his sponsor, Asics, just before the US Olympic trials. The sprint king had just signed with the new sponsors in February 2023 after his contract with Nike expired at the end of 2022.
However, he did not end his season there and went on to compete at the US Olympic trials where he intended to double in the 100m and 200m but after securing an Olympic slot in the hotly contested 100m he chose not to race in the 200m.
Kerley finished third behind Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek.
