Coleman to skip Shanghai meeting as ‘precaution’
Print Edition
AMERICAN Christian Coleman, the 60 meters indoor world record holder, will miss Saturday’s high-profile 100m at the Diamond League meeting in Shanghai due to “precautionary reasons,” his coach said.
Organizers of the meeting had said on Sunday that both world 100 silver medalist Coleman and Jamaican double Olympic sprint champion Elaine Thompson were “dealing with physical issues that prevent them from participating.” “Coleman is fine,” Tim Hall said via a text message on Monday. “I just felt the timing is not appropriate for him to compete right now ... precautionary reasons.” Neither his coach nor agent, in a telephone interview, would elaborate on Coleman’s status. The race would have been the 22-year-old’s first individual outdoor competition after a superb indoor season in which he set the 60 world record and won the world championship.
