Anthony Jordan the champion Nobody Saw Coming

Jordan Anthony did not just win a race. He changed the way sprinting has to look at him. A former football player from Tylertown, Mississippi, Anthony went from raw speed at Arkansas to one of the most dangerous starters in track and field. After running 6.43 at the Tyson Invitational, defeating Noah Lyles indoors, turning professional with Adidas, and overcoming a serious blood-clot scare, he arrived at the World Indoor Championships with one question hanging over him: Was the hype real? Then he ran 6.41. World Indoor Champion. One of the fastest 60-meter performances ever recorded. And suddenly, the sprint world had a new name to remember. If he owns the first 60 meters, what happens when that speed reaches the full 100?
