00:00I wouldn't say nervous. I'd say I was extremely curious to what was going to happen.
00:05That's how me and my therapist phrase it. I'm curious to what I'm going to do.
00:11How am I going to pull this off, basically? Situations like that. Because easily, you know,
00:15I came in third fastest, you know, from the semis. I'm like, you know, this is going to be serious.
00:21This is not going to be easy. And I like said, okay, my therapist said, you need to let go.
00:28You need to relax. You need to be yourself. And I watched as we were all going out.
00:34Salt-N-Chain hit the yell. I'm like, dang, that's my thing. That's crazy. Man,
00:39it's hitting the Super Saiyan. Yeah, that's crazy. All right. I guess I got to do another thing.
00:44So I was like, all right, I'm not stopping at this, you know, little point. You know,
00:48I'm running out into the crowd because this crowd was some crowd that really wanted the
00:52energy to back behind. I'm like, they would give me the energy that I'm looking for.
00:55Came up, we were waiting for the names to pop up. And I'm going to be honest, I came over,
00:59I was like, I think you got that one, big dog. You know, he was out there in lane four and I
01:04was in lane seven. I couldn't really see what was going on over there. So I just had to keep,
01:08you know, running like I was going to win it. And, you know, something said I need to lean.
01:13And I was like, I'm going to lean because, you know, it was that type of race. And it was crazy
01:17as my, you know, Ralph Mann was like, before I left for the Paris, he's like, this is how close
01:23first and second is going to be away from each other. And I can't believe how right he was.
01:28Yeah, pretty much the same thing that Noah said. It was really a close race, you know,
01:32because I couldn't really see Noah based on the lane that we were in. So I saw that I cleared
01:40to my near left and my near right, but I couldn't see him. It was that close. So when we both
01:44crossed the line, as he said, he came to me and said, hey man, I think you got it. But I was like,
01:50wow. And I'm not even sure because it was that close. Like I said, I did think that
01:55Keshane had that. And I was like, oh man, I'm really going to have to swallow my pride,
02:02which I don't have a problem doing. Respect deserves respect. And, you know, everybody
02:05on this, everybody in the field, to be honest, came out knowing that they could win this race.
02:11And, you know, that's the mindset that we have to have, you know, iron sharpens iron, of course.
02:16And when I saw my name, I was like, I didn't do this against a slow crowd or a field. I did this
02:21against the best of the best on the biggest stage with the biggest pressure. And seeing that name,
02:26I was like, oh my gosh, there it is. And I wasn't even entered in the hundred in 2021. So that was,
02:32you know, here I am first Olympics in the hundred, you know, going around now the Olympic champion
02:39and, you know, having that title of not just at world championships, but at the Olympics of
02:44world's fastest man.
