Since Usain Bolt Retired in 2017, the men’s 100m dash has become completely wide open with a different 100m Dash Champion at every Major Championship since then. As we now look towards the Paris 2024 Olympics, there are a bunch of contenders all vying for the Gold medal this summer.

Today in Part 4, we discuss the current crop of sprinters across Africa. Letsile Tebogo in Botswana, Ferdinand Omanyala in Kenya and Akani Simbine in South Africa are just 3 of the guys leading the pack for the continent in the pursuit on an Olympic medal in the 100m Dash, which has not occurred since Namibia’s Frankie Fredericks won Silver almost 30 years ago in Atlanta 1996.

Grant Holloway has built up a resume in the 60m Hurdles that few in history have been able to match.
